Tsunade narrowed her eyes at the Consul. How dare he talk about the Will of Fire like that! She fumed. It was Naruto however who spoke.
"I don't think that anyone here would watch the Will of Fire die out. We are shinobi. Jiji always told me that the Will of Fire is fueled by those who believe in it." Naruto said softly. Galen smiled.
"Forgive me for the rude saying but I had to be certain. Your body language as well as the killer intent that you are barely hiding tell me that the Will of Fire burns bright within. However, if you choose to accept my offer, you will need to be trained to fight creatures not found on your old land. I'm sure these young ones are up to the task." Galen said softly. The konoha 12 perked up.
"Will we have new sensis, Sir?" Hinata asked softly. Galen looked at her.
"No. Your sensis will remain the same. I will allow you time to discuss these matters. Once you have decided what course of action to take, we will know better of your future. Another matter at hand if you take this offer is the representation of the shinobi in council. One group is allowed one counciller to represent them. The Council Chambers are located at the end of this street. You will have to choose a member of your party to represent you. Now, I'll give you leave to look at your options. Good Day." Galen said, bowing. The shinobi left with the two escorts. Rania closed the door softly behind them.
"Galen, weren't you a little sharp with that question? I believe in the will of fire too." Rania said looking at the Consul. Galen smiled.
"Testing them. Hiruzen always says that his shinobi's will of fire is strong. Now I know. Besides, I am sure that they will join us. We need strong people to be the back of this city." Galen mused. Rania shook her head smiling. She looked at Galen with questioning eyes.
"When do we tell them the "secret"? I don't know if they will be happy or upset that it was kept from them. Besides, he's eager to see them again." Rania asked softly. Galen looked at the window. Indeed, if Rania hadn't had Hidan and Kakuzu there, things could have turned out differently. Galen thought as he took his seat. Rania sat on the opposite side.
"You fear that they won't accept and that your enemies will hunt them down, don't you, Rania?" Galen asked softky. Rania nodded.
"I hope they become part of Velos, Galen, not just because of my enemies but those they have made. Iwa will know the son of the Yellow Flash and wouldn't mind killing him or worse. They too hold a hatred against us three with me being the highest bounty they have ever had. I would have to take action if they harmed Naruto or any others. We need to discuss punishment for the ROOT..." Rania said as the toodoor slammed open.
"Lord Consul, the shinobi are being attacked!" a guard said.
"Where?" Rania asked, eyes sharp.
"At the southgate road Some weird freakish things. I...was told to get help." The guard said. Rania ran past him swiftly.
"Danok, Scarlet, Trent come with me. Nathan, find Veran and Vilis and get them to the southgate area now." Rania said jumping down the stairway. Galen was only a step behind her.
"Notify all enforcers that there are intruders. I want the southgate on duty officers and guards in my office once this is settled." Galen told another guardsman.
"Yes, Lord Consul."
Once they had reachedthe end of the steps the party broke out into a dead run, heading to the south. Within minutes, the group led by Rania was there and they couldn't believe their eyes. A monstrous humanois creature was fighting off Tsunade, Jirayia, and Tsume with long spikes. Similar creatures were attacking Kakashi, Anko, Ibiki, Inochi, Shikaku, Choza, and Hiashi. Asuma, Guy, Kurenai, and the genin were facing off ninja. Ninja from Iwa.
