"Jiraiya! I want you to go out again and this time I want you to gather Intel on everything you can on Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance in the past ten years. I don't care what you have to do just get it done" order Tsuande.
"Right Hime" replied Jiraiya in which he then Shunshin away.
After which Tsunade dismissed everyone by stating that the meeting was over. Where when she did everyone began to leave while several people went to greet their love one back home. Such as Konohamaru welcoming his Aunt back along with Hinata, Kiba and Shino as well as Akamaru (who nearly crushed Kurenai when he jumped on top of her and started to lick her).
While Lee was greeted by Yakumo who quickly bonked him on the held for scaring her like he did, after which she quickly kissed and hugged him tightly. After which Lee was then greeted by TenTen and Neji who were equally happy to see that their teammate was safe, Lee was then greeted by a tearful Gai who started to shout about Lee flames of youth still burning brightly. Which in turn got Lee starting to shout about the Flames of youth too, but thankfully both were stopped by TenTen and Yakumo who quickly bonked both men to shut them up.
Choji was also greeted by both his father (who nearly killed Choji by hugging him so tightly that he nearly crushed Choji spine) and his teammates. Shikamaru actually shed a few tears of relief at his friend being alive and told him how troublesome he was, Ino was equally happy that her childhood friend and teammate was alive and safe, in which she bonked him and told him not to get capture again or she beat him up.
Tsuande and Shizune also went over to Sakura and told her that they were both happy that she was ok which pleased Sakura knowing that her Sensei was at lest worried about her.
-Two weeks later in a Hidden Location-
Currently five men were sitting together in a large underground room around a large table standing behind each man were two of their Shinobi's from their respected villages or organisation. These men were the leaders of the Alliance of Shinobi Nations that were currently fighting against Konoha and Suna, one of the men was Orochimaru the Snake sannin aka The White Snake formerly of Konoha and probably the most wanted missing-nin from the village. Behind him was his right hand man Kabuto and the other was Guren a young blue haired women who was able to do Shōton (Crystal Style) ability that was believed to be a new rising bloodline.
Guren was highly valued by Orochimaru due to her unique power and her high skill in combat. The only reason why she had not yet become a host to him yet was because he had need of her skills to help lead his forces against Konoha and Suna. Guren was one of Orochimaru's most powerful and loyal subordinates much like Kimimaro once was, and like him, she would have gladly given her body up to act as a vessel for Orochimaru. The reason for this was because Orochimaru had destroyed the village she was from who had shunned her all her life due to her powers. He also gave her shelter training and a purpose to live for, Guren showed herself to be a remorseless and sadistic person as well as being a bit vain, she was also a very proud person since she did not like to depend on the help of others. Although what most people did not know was that she had a caring side as well as a sense or remorse for her past actions. She even cared deeply for the few friends she had, she also had a strong dislike of Kabuto finding him to manipulator and smart ass bastard, where the two argue often traded scathing remarks with one another.
Also sitting at the table was The Yondaime Tsuchikage Ryoku he was a large muscular build man, who wore the traditional Kage cloak and hat on a regular basis, without a shirt underneath which further displays his hulky physique. He had a gold belt on his waist with a Bear's face engraved in the centre. He had black shoulder length hair with a few slight gray hairs on the side of his head with a few wrinkles on his face and a short beard.
Ryoku was the type of man whobelieved that the weak should and would be crushed while the strong would rule and survive. He was also a blunt tactician, where he preferred to eliminate threats and ordering them to be executed instead of negotiating. He was also a firm believer that might and power was everything and without them you were noting. He was a very powerful man and was a bit arrogant, during The Third Great Shinobi War he had been known as the Ishi no Kyojin (Stone Giant) and was named to the become the next Tsuchikage. But that had changed after the end of the Third Great Shinobi World War, where his forces suffered several humiliating defeats against Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō (Konoha Yellow Flash) and future Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato. In which with those defeats not to mention his own personal defeats by the hands of the man himself, along with Iwa loss in the Third Great Shinobi World War he was disgraced and his name was removed from the list to be named the next Tsuchikage. This of course was the cause for his undying hatred of Konoha and especially anything associated with Kiiroi Senkō.
It was not until a few years later that with the help of Shinobi's who were loyal to him through years of fighting side by side with one another, he organised a coup d'état and his forces quickly took over key positions and area's over the village. After which he then gave The Sandaime Tsuchikage Ōnoki, also known as Ryōtenbin no Ōnoki (Ōnoki of Both Scales) an ultimatum, either he retire and name Ryoku the new Yondaime Tsuchikage or he take the title by force. The Sandaime Tsuchikage reluctantly agreed to retire since he knew that if he refused Ryoku and his forces would fight, and it would cause Civil War in the village and Iwa would most likely be destroyed in the result, since they had yet to recovered from the loses they suffered in Third Great Shinobi World War.
