It would have been a crime to let that one pass.
The man looked at the youth in front of him eagerly. He had hired his team for a C-rank a few weeks back, and had heard the kid speak his ideas. It was … Inspirational! So, he had hired his team again, just to hear what his reactions to ideas would be. That kid was a gold mine when it came to catastrophe scenarios.
"And then the new Daimyo would go insane and order the destruction of Kumo and it would be civil war! And then there'd be a big battle with all of Kumo against the usurper's forces, and then he'd call in ninja from other countries and it'd be the fourth great ninja war!"
The scenarist grinned manically as he noted everything Omoi said on a notepad. Oh, by the gods, the films!
A looked at the man in front of him with an impassive face. He wanted to hire ninja … as actors? Including him, the mighty A, Raikage of Kumo, and his brother Killer B, container of the Hachibi?
Once again, A looked at the scenario, remembering what he had read in the manuscript, before meeting the scenarist's eyes. And he smiled.
Sarutobi frowned in annoyance. Those films that Kumo was publishing and sponsoring were down-right insulting. Konoha was depicted in quite a bad light in those films, while Kumo was glorified mercilessly. That was NOT acceptable. Hiashi in particular was foaming at the mouth, he wanted a piece out of Kumo's ass, and he wanted it bad. Oh, but Hiruzen was no beginner, he knew exactly what to do. He smirked at his fuming student, the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku, as he stood in front of the Council.
"That'd better be good sensei." Ground out Jiraya. "I was in the process of gathering ideas to answer that shit Kumo has been sending on the screens!"
"Oh, but then you will love what I offer." Said Sarutobi, a dangerous gleam in his eyes. "The council has commissioned you to write scenarios for films to answer these insults. We have gathered a few ideas for you to exploit … chief among them, the Hyuga incident. You know what to do."
Jiraya, Hiruzen and Hiashi let psychotic smiles blossom on their faces. Oh, revenge would be quite the tasty treat this time. Quite tasty indeed.
Neji looked at his cousin ponderously. His uncle had revealed the truth of his father's death a few weeks prior, to both him and Hinata, before telling them they would act in a film about this incident, and instructing them to make their part as convincing as possible to help humiliate Kumo and avenge Hizashi. Neji had been surprised by the raw determination and vindication to be found in Hinata. And he had been shocked by her acting talents. Right now, she was playing an emotional scene with a blond kid by the name of Uzumaki Naruto where she delivered a long winded and inspirational speech about the nobility of Hizashi's sacrifice and the cruelty of Kumo. Neji allowed a smile to come to his lips. His father would be well avenged.
Hiashi smiled widely as the lights returned. The film was good, and surprisingly, Jiraya had refrained from including adult scenes. But he had added hints of a budding love between Naruto and Hinata. That did not bother Hiashi. As the Hyuga head looked around, he saw quite a few nobles looking positively angry at Kumo, and some offering their sympathy to Neji, who was doing his role admirably well and telling them he only wanted justice for his father.
Hinata was being congratulated on her performance by the Daimyo's wife while Naruto was being talked into a learning trip to the capital by the current Twelve Guardians. Hiashi had only one regret, not being there when the Raikage saw the film.
A was livid, enraged, fuming, incensed! How dare those leaf bastards humiliate them like that!
"Yep, knew it'd come back to bite us in the ass." Said B, for once not rapping. A screamed in frustration and broke his desk.
"CALL OMOI!"
And thus began the first great Ninja Film War. That ended when Uzumaki Naruto, Konoha's Golden Lord, and Sabaku no Gaara, the Emperor of the Desert, united their force into a trilogy of legend.
Honestly, considering the "scenario" of some films, Omoi's rambling would be acceptable.
