The scenario starts off simple and bland at first. The area is crusted in white as far as the eye can see. The Snowy plains are dashed with scattered trees here and there. Even a few Cherry Blossums. One could look into the picture and feel the chill of the winter desert. However, stationed in the Distance, a large, snow crested mountain would be easily seen. A small speck then appeared at it's entrance, before vanishing inside. The scene then focused into the mountain. It winded and narrowed as each turn, brought one deeper and deeper inside. Several cooridors and hallways later, the mosst important scene showed itself. It was a large, open room within the confines of the mountainous base. Gathered inside, a group of fear-inspiring individuals.
"Well...are we all here?" The calm, controlled voice of Dante asked towards the group as he looked around. He noted that within the dark and damp cave, everyone was indeed present at this meeting of great importance. A sigh came forth from behind Dante. "What, your eyes don't work?" Hagane interjected. Dante merely shook his head and continued on. "Genjutsu is something to be considered Hagane...Now, since Hagane's here, let me finish. Genkaku?"
Hagane at this simply sat down and mumbled a few incoherent phrases. In the meantime, a rather tall, red haired individual stood up. His spiky, bright crimson red locks contrasting his dark brown, possibly black cloak over his body. His Crimson eyes shifted and he soon sat down back in his chair without a word. At this, Dante nodded and swiped a black lock of his own hair to the side. "Good, good. Kagai?" At hearing this, another individual in the room stood up. Wearing a simple green and brown shinobi body suit and letting his brown hair simply hit against his face as he grinned.
"Right-O Boss man, I'm here!" Kagai said with unusual enthusiasm as a large, bulking man in corner groaned. "Kagai, you crazy little bastard, would you stop being so god damn happy all the time? It's irritating." Yoichi said as he stood up. Kagai however, paid no attention to Yoichi whatsoever. All he did was continue standing there, holding a rare and elegant flower of some sort in his hand. The purple and red flower he petted delicately. Yoichi could be visibly seen getting angrier. "HEY, I'm talking to you...you weak and crazy bas-"
Yoichi was shut up shortly after that. Kagai was now grinning widely towards Yoichi as he tried to speak but, to no avail. Yoichi then discovered the cause. A senbon needle was lodged in his throat and it had a small, pink flower at the end of it. "And I thought Hagane talked too much, your just as bad when someone gets on your temper Yoichi. And to answer your question, no." Kagai said towards Yochi as he sat down and continued to pet his flower friend. Meanwhile, during all this, Hagane was laughing so hard he was literally on the floor.
"HAHAHAHAHA!! Showed you who's boss now, didn't he you angry little bitch? Don't respond to that yet...oh wait, you can't talk HAHAHAHAHAHA!!" Hagane uttered out towards Yoichi as Yochi fumed, now desperately wanting to strike Hagane down. However, Dante was already in between them, his eyes now a distinct red.
"Enough."
Was all he said as at that phrase and the tone he was using, Yochi instantly calmed down and sat down. "Good. Yoichi is here as well so let's continue. Kisho?" Dante asked. A rather stunning appearing man soon stood up. With very attractive and distinct, black eyes and medium length black haired with styled bangs in the front. He wore a simple, rather appealing suit. As he stood up, a near mimic of him stood up. "Yes, of us, Both are around Dante. Dea wants, and I need. But, wants come after needs, do they not?" Dante merely nodded, not bothering to decipher Kisho's unusually cryptic way of speaking as Kisho just sat down. Hagane shook his head shortly after.
"Damn Poetic Bastard..."
"Karu?"
First came Hagane, then after Hagane's little mutterance, Dante spoke simply. At this, the largest man of the group stood up. Wearing merely black shinobi pants and nothing else, Karu's long, fire red hair waved and then settled. "Ay, I'm here Dante, can we go now?" Dante merely shook his head as Karu sat down.
"Alright...last but not least...Nevermind. Onto the reason for our gathering. So, listen carefully." Dante put extra emphasis on te word carefully, so everyone would get the idea to pay attention, naturally. Dante himself, then stood up and glanced around the room. The amount of time he spent gathering and collecting the quarry of allies here, the time to start operations was now.
"Welcome first of all. We al know each other in some way or form. All of us, are Nukenin and have seen each other in the Bingo Books. I have taken the liberty however, to notice that each and every one of you is in fact a victim...not a criminal...of the Shinobi villages system. However, it is in this instance, that the villages will see their weaknesses. They will crumble, by destroying each other. That I will elaborate on later however. Our goal, is simple. The Villages...all have their own systems for keeping everything under control. If something gets beyond their control, they punish it. It shouldn't however, be the strong that are cast out but, the opposite. The Weak. The Frail. The dependant. We will send the villages back to the way things should be. Into complete anarchy. The strongest will survive. Those strongest, are us. Our first mission, is in Konoha. Let's move."
Dante then vanished right after his long tone speech and everyone else in the room followed suit.

Several beeps and other noises were heard as Tsunade stood over Hinata's bed. She was now sweating quite a bit. Along with Sakura and Shizune. They then had to support themselves via putting a hand on the wall to prevent themselves from collapsing. Three straight days. Three straight nights. And it was a success. With some help from Kurenai and Ibiki, the Genjutsu within Hinata's mind was finally broken. She was now free from it's torment. Though her memories were vivid of it. Tsunade walked over towards Hinata's side and pressed on her chest twice in a particular spot. A second later, a slug with a nurse's hat came from Hinata's mouth.
"Thank you Katsuname, without your help..." Tsunade began to say towards her slug summon. The slug shook her head however. "No worries Lady Tsunade, it's what I do best!" She said in a cheerful manner before a plume of smoke appeared. Katsuname was soon gone. Tsunade wiped her forehead of the sweat and flicked it to the side, only to catch Shizune in the face. Shizune fumed slightly while Tsunade didn't notice the anger. She was too beat. Tsunade knew that even though the Genjutsu was cancelled, Hinata needed support. She needed her friends.
"Let the nursing staff know Hinata can now be visited." At hearing this, both Shizune and Sakura nodded. They were honestly too tired to argue. "Shizune and Sakura, thank you for your hard work. Go home and rest. I'll keep an eye on Hinata." Sakura and Shizune both nodded as they soon vanished.

The Volcanic landscape was quite the harsh one. Very high humidity and heat. Ash filled the air and the ground looked as if snow of black, gray, and white layered the ground. Underneath the ash, some plants managed to grow in the rich soil. The plants curvival rate was fifty-fifty however, since this area was rare for precipitation. In the distance, two shinobi were head to head, battling it out. When the scene focused on them though, the battle was over.
"Not bad Hikaru, you are improving. However, you need to work more on your Chakra control." A large, taller man told towards the younger woman that was obviously Hikaru. "Hai, I need to work on so many things Otou-sama." At this, the older man shook his head. "Never measure your skills compared to anyone else's talent." He said towards the dark-haired woman. Needless to say, she didn't take kindly to that advice and proceeded to pout it.
"How am I supposed to know if I'm improving or not then?"
"Trust me Karu-chan, you will know when that happens."
At hearing the little nickname, Hikaru's eyebrow twitched significantly.

The world spiraled, a distinct darkness of swirling grays, purples, blacks, and whites was the center of the stage now. Standing there, was a small, Blind Child and a older, blond male. The male had now two angel white wings coming from his back as he stared down towards Kaune. He stood there now, laughing as he glared at Kaune. And Kunae himself, was laughing as well. Kaune formed several handsigns now. After they finished, Two black wolves spiraled above Kaune's head, howling and whistling. They then collided into each other, attempting to rip out each one's throat.
"Kaune, are you actually going to try and strike me down or-" Kadoma stopped as he looked at his legs. They were now viciously torn and mauled. The wolves collided again and now, the mauling and deep wounds appeared on Kadoma's chest. Kadoma growled as he now understood the jutsu and yet, wasn't able to move. He noticed Kaune finished another combination of handsigns. It wasn't a good thing as his legs soon were being sucked into the ground as Kaune continued another series of handsigns. Kadoma knew it wasn't good as he watched five blades of black chakra form. They instantly impaled Kadoma as he screamed in pain, before seemingly dying. Kaune just shook his head.
"You lured me sensei, where are you hid-" Kaune didn't have time to finish his question as he felt a chain wrap tightly around his body. He felt the pressure and the pain as he closed his eye. "Not Genjutsu. Fair enough."
Kaune said as he used the blood in his hands as he performed several handsigns before being completely ensnared. The chain ensnared Kaune, only for a large plume of smoke to appear. In place of Kaune, ensnared were a collection of ten, rather large bats. Kadoma perked an eyebrow at this as the bats poofed away. He looked around, only to stop and hold his head at an intense ringing in his ears. Falling to his knees, he looked around and saw numerous bats in the sky, letting out powerful shrieks that were harming his ears. Kadoma, having enough of the pain, swung his chain in the air to hit the bats. He kept hitting and hitting them until they were all gone. However, he stopped and grasped his throat as blood profusely spewed from his throat. He also felt the deep gash in his throat. He fell to the ground, believing he was dead. In the short time span that would assume death, a poof appeared to only show a log once more. Kaune growled at this.
"Your jerking me around, I think it's time to get serious. Reikigan!" Kaune said calming as he opened his eyes. The eyes had a single kanji replacing the pupils of 'shi'. Shi, was the kanji for death in this instance. The area now warped, transforming into nothing but abysmal whiteness. Kadoma was shortly revealed, standing to the side of Kaune. Kaune focused his chakra and within seconds, Kadoma was entrapped. His body entwined with his own chain. Kadoma's eyes widened a bit at this. "Your genjutsu is able to alter my senses and even control them? You've improved." One white wing soon canished and was replaced by one, demonic black wing. His persona changed visibly as he shattered the chains around him. Kaune twitched an eyebrow at this and vanished. The vanishing didn't help in the slightest as Kadoma vanished and reappeared, with Kaune's neck within his hand. Kaune opened his mouth and a massive army of bats flew out of his mouth, crashing, biting, and shrieking at Kadoma. This caused Kadoma to flinch, and let go.Kaune fell to the ground, only to be a log. Kadoma saw this but it was too late, Kaune was behind Kadoma, several tentacles erupted from him and pierced directly into Kadoma's back, ripped through him and proceeded to literally act like sewing needles, going in and out of Kadoma's body, binding and impaling him an uncountable amount of times. Kadoma screamed over and over as this occured. Once they finished eviscerating him, he ignited in bright white flames. Kadaoma continued to scream. And then, he vanished.
The area around him transformed and converted into reality. Trees were standing. The sky was blue. The grass was green. and Kadoma was directly behind Kaune, sitting on a tree branch.
"Congratulations Kaune, you have learned and mastered everything I could teach you."
