Chapter Nineteen ~ Declaration

~Chapter Nineteen~

The cavern was encase with solid, gray rock and a table made out of the same material rests in the middle of the place; one chair at each end of the table. Five people lounge about in different positions as they await the sixth. Sitting in one of the chairs is a teenage boy with midnight black hair wearing a gray, zipped up, high collared, sleeveless shirt with blue wrist warmers. His pants are dark blue covered with blue cloth that's secured in place by a thick purple rope. His sword is attached to the rope and his eyes slowly open showing a mixture of red and black. Standing off to right are three individuals; a orange haired young man with matching orange eyes, a teenage girl with vibrant scarlet hair and black framed glasses rest on her face, and finally, yet another teen with blue tinted white hair and violet eyes.

On the opposite side of the table and at the end a tall man with blue skin and shark like features leans against the table. The door slams open and in walks the mastermind behind the organization known as the Akatsuki. His orange mask glints in the light as he strides forward, his cloak moving slightly from side to side.

The ground trembles and shifts as a seventh member appears, this one surrounded by a plant with his facial features split neatly into a white half and a black half.

"We have news from the society we were working with."

Tobi sits on the table and gestures for him to continue. "We sent her to comply with their request. She came back with five hundred million ryo." Kisame lets out a low whistle, grinning with sharp teeth as his small eyes darken. "So they decided they didn't want any more to do with us? I wonder why..." The plant man known as Zetsu blinks before the black half chuckles.

"We confronted them about it, and it turns out the purple haired one was not the leader after all. So she told us to take up with the actual leader." White Zetsu finishes the sentence as Black Zetsu chuckles again, finishing up with a snide voice. "The leader's exact words where..." His voice changed to imitate one that was female and low with hatred, one with a hint of pure fury with it.

"The moment I team up with the people who have taken Sasuke Uchiha under their wing, is the moment my sensei is revived and his Sharingan is sealed away!"

Sasuke stiffens slightly as Winter's voice rings out but he keeps a nonchalant look on his face, giving off an air of indifference. Tobi glances at him but doesn't say anything more on the matter.

"I will deal with this later today. Now for why I called you all here, I have sent one of the others to collect the Nine Tails. And so, I would like you, Team Taka, to retrieve the Eight Tails."

"And what do we get in return?"

"Why, the powers of a Tailed Beast, of course."

Winter stood amidst the destruction that laid around her in all directions, her face hardened into an emotionless mask, blood dripping off the twin katana's held firmly within her grasp. Fallen shinobi gulped their last breath, whispered their dying words, felt their life leave them. At her feet, laying face down with red liquid seeping into the ground around them, was the barely alive, General One. Wiping off the blood from her blades she sheathes them before taking out pure white blade, the handle a crimson color with the Lunar Society's emblem displayed clearly on it. She slams it down ensuring the man's death and making a declaration.

A declaration that there were still Storm Shinobi in this world.

A declaration that there was more to come.

A declaration of war.

Sorry about the short chapter but I needed to get this little part done with, because it's time to start the new ark :)
