1 March of Unrest: Looming Danger [Plot] Tue Mar 13, 2018 10:24 pm
Hachirou Himitsu
D-rank
The sounds of their march forward echoed through the streets, oddly loud in the misty air. Dozens of shinobi marched in organized ranks, the front most of the shinobi being high ranking Jounin of the Himitsu clan, and the shinobi at the head was none other than the clan head of the Himitsu clan, one of the most respected combat clans in Kirigakure at the moment. There was not a fighter from the Himitsu clan that hadn't made a name for themselves, including the banished clan heiress who served Ayakashi directly.
Unrest had been evidently in the air for quite some time, but with the latest of the Yatagarasu killings, something had snapped within the ranks of Kirigakure. Some had decided that they would depose Ayakashi, who seemed unwilling, or incapable of stopping this murderer. People had called out for justice to be taken. The people of Kirigakure were thirsty for blood, something Ayakashi knew well enough.
Of course, there were those that thought Ayakashi incapable of fulfilling the office. Their own ambitions would see themselves replacing the ranks of those in charge of the village. Some would take advantage of the unrest. Hachirou was one such individual who was not only ambitious enough to seek the spot of Mizukage, but one strong enough to have some sort of ability to back up his claim of superiority. And with someone to hide behind, and promises of high ranks for supporting him, Hachirou had amassed a following, not one that matched the full might of Kirigakure of course, but a formidable following that couldn't be ignored.
As Hachirou's army marched on the administration building, Hachirou held up his hand as he stood outside it. The crowd behind him stopped. After only a moment of silence, the powerhouse spoke up, his charismatic voice spreading out with authority. "Lady Ayakashi! I don't care if you cower in your building, or if you come out here. All the same, you'll know, this is a call for you to step down from the office of Mizukage. We have deemed you unfit to carry on the title of our leader."
There was more of course, that he would say, but for now, he would await a response from her, ready to fight should he have to. They all were. But he didn't expect she would open with hostility. If she wouldn't come out in a timely manner, he would issue his ultimatum.
