[ Takigakure-Village hidden by a waterfall]
Takigakure is a small nation hidden in the crevice of an enormous waterfall, surrounded by gigantic mountains and lush trees. Neighbouring its fellow small nations, Kusagakure(Land of Grass), Iwagakure(Land of Earth) and Konohakagakure(Land of Fire). Takigakure isn't a part of the Five Great Ninja Villages, leaving the Waterfall as an independent nation that relies on sponsors outside of the Daimyō to keep its economy growing. Takigakure prides itself on producing Jonin-level Shinobi such as rogue nin and member of the Akatsuki, Kakazu and the fact that they're the only village outside of the 5 Great Villages to have a Jinchūriki, the Seven-tailed Jinchūriki, Fū.
Shibuku, the Village's head and Fū's sensei is an older, pale-skinned man with lengthy black hair and wearing traditional robes with the Takigakure symbol on his right chest.
Fū is caramel-skinned with mint green hair and bright orange eyes; the kunoichi wears a short skirt over leg thigh-level fishnet stockings, a sleeveless crop top, teasing her fishnet top and matching forearm sleeves.
Unlike her sensei, Fū is very charismatic and a social person. "Sensei. " Fū calls him in a childish manner.
Shibuku rolls his eyes at her antics. "Fū, can you take this matter with an ounce of seriousness. "
"But I wish to visit my friend, Gaara."
"Lord Gaara is the Fifth Kazekage and is too busy running his village, Fū." Shibuku scolds her.
"You're so mean, sensei!" The Jinchūriki throws a tantrum, a stream of tears falling down her coco-dusted cheeks.
Shibuku didn't falter at her immaturity. "Fū, you're a Jinchūriki of a small village. We do not have the backing of the Daimyō nor our neighbouring villages." Shibuku breaks it down to her.
"Eh?!" Fū scratches her mint green hair in confusion.
"Let me tell you the truth, Fū."

[Iwagakure]
"Kurotsuchi, seat yourself like a proper maiden, " ōnoki orders.
"Relax, grandfather. I'm not getting married anytime soon. Kurotsuchi dismissed his order with her tomboyish demeanor.
"You have no class, brat." Ōnoki growls.
"Whatever you say, Grandpa. "
"Uh-Lord Third, Kurotsuchi-sama...can we please not argue in front of the elders. " Akatsuchi whispers to them.
The giant Iwa ninja apologises to the Iwagakure elders watching the belittling of their feared Tsuchikage.
"Lord Third...what shall we do about the Seventh Jinchūriki?" A Iwagakure elder addresses.
"Our offer to Takigakure is simple, we are willing to offer our protection to them in exchange for their Jinchūriki, Fū being a part of our ranks. Following the failed abduction of Kumo's Two-tailed Jinchūriki, we must insure the value of the Seventh as Takigakure is a vulnerable village. " Ōnoki stated.
"What makes you so certain that their leader will agree to such a one sided offer?" Kurotsuchi humours.
Ōnoki's nose flares at his granddaughter's questioning. "The reason I am so certain is because Takigakure has no bargaining power, Fū is still a clumsy Chunin and too naive to be a Jinchūriki, sooner or later those traits will be her end." Ōnoki announces with a smug smirk, "If Shibuku is wise, he would align with us rather than with Kumo or Konoha. Kirigakure is still in its new era after the Kekkei genkei genocide. "
"Forgive me, Lord Tsuchikage, but we have been victims to the Akatsuki as our Four-tailed and Five-tailed beasts have been abducted, so what makes you certain Takigakure will trust their Jinchūriki with us?" A brave elder confronts him.
The Tsuchikage's office went dead silent as the Elder's words hit everyone like an old wound.
Rumble...
The room trembles under Ōnoki's chakra, the elders bowing down completely crumble under his power, ear piercing pleads leaving their old voices.
"Great, here comes another tantrum. " Kurotsuchi lazily floats about 2 feet off the ground, using her gravity control to escape her grandfather's wrath. "You should really control your anger, Gramps; you might just pop a blood vessel at this rate." Kurotsuchi nonchalantly comments.
"KUROTSUCHI!"

[Kumogakure]
"Damn it, Bee!"
BOOOOM
The Fourth Raikage hammers his giant fists down on his desk, breaking the table in half.
"Lord Fourth!" Mabui coils back to avoid the splinters; the gorgeous dark-skinned assistant clutches her notepad.
"Uhmm, do you want us to find them?" Darui passively suggested.
A looks at Darui with a barely concealed fit of rage," Darui, go find Bee and Yugito, now." A demands.
"On it, Boss." Darui nods.
Mabui looks at her Raikage with an anxious expression, "Lord Raikage, shouldn't we inform Bee-sama and Yugito-nee about the purpose of their visit to Takigakure?"
"Do not stress about that, Mabui. Bee is aware of my intentions; he is capable by himself against any ninja, Akatsuki or not. His control over the Eight-tails is unmatched by any other Jinchūriki, and with Yugito back home, it's best for her to go back to action, keeping her under the clouds will only make her more restless. " A explains to his assistant.
Mabui nods to her superior, " I understand, my Lord."

[Sunagakure]
In the Village Hidden in the Sand, Gaara gazes out of his office's windows, admiring the sunset bathing his village in a striking red-orange.
The young Kazekage let the moment be, for a man who grew up the Village's demon and now the man to lead them to a better future, his eyes were calm like the desert, no longer holding a sandstorm of hate.
"Gaara..." Temari called her brother.
"Yes, Temari?" Gaara answers.
"The elders are still fussy about your decision to host the Seven-tailed Jinchūriki. The Daimyō of the Sand Nation is furious about you not seeking his approval for such a serious matter. " Temari reveals to her Kazekage and younger sibling.
"That old fool doesn't know how to clean his own rear without the help of a servant; why would I seek his words on a discussion of Jinchūriki?" Gaara humours in his deep, commanding voice.
Temari rubs her forehead at her brother's disregard to the Daimyō, "Gaara, you do know he is the highest order in the Nation? We are his military system and all our Village's affairs must be approved by him before you act on your own accord. " Temari reasons.
Gaara smirks at his sister's reasoning, "You are proving to be quite fitting to your role, Temari. I believe Shikamaru would be proud." Gaara teases.
Temari freezes at the name mentioned by her brother, a blush creeping up her neck and sun-kissed cheekbones. "Gaara." She reaches for her giant fan.
'RUN, KID!' Shukaku urges his Jinchūriki.
Gaara felt a sudden spike of fear down his spine; for a man who once terrorised his siblings, this sudden change in dynamics made him realise how much things have changed for him and his siblings, especially how Temari is the Matriarch of their household that took no nonsense from either of her brothers, Kazekage or not. Temari is scarier than Shukaku.
"Run, Gaara, run," Temari warns him as she slaps her fan.
WHOOOSSHH
Gaara vanishes in a shower of sand, choosing the smart decision to escape her wrath instead of trying the hierarchy method that will end up with him in the infirmary.

[Kirigakure]
"Sigh...this is really annoying. " Mei pouts from her desk dominated by paperwork.
The Fifth Mizukage is facing a Kage's greatest enemy: endless documents ranging from mission reports and construction plans to civilian concerns and many more documents that need her attention.
Ao, her advisor, stands next to her. The Kiri shinobi cleared his throat, "Lady Mizukage, we still have to address the Takigakure Jinchūriki. "
"What about it?" Mei hummed in an oddly sweet voice.
The atmosphere of the office plummeted to an unsettling cold.
Ao took a step back from her, his instincts screaming at him to run. "What I mean is, Seven-tailed Jinchūriki has become a major interest of all the Five nations, including ourselves. Ao chooses his words carefully.
"Go on." Mei encourages.
"With the three-tailed beast unbound by a host, we would benefit from having the Seven-tailed Jinchūriki in our village, and hopefully she can assist us in sealing the three-tailed beast before the Akatsuki get to it."
Mei taps her manicured nails on her desk, thinking about what Ao said. "Ao, we are still in a sensitive time after liberating Kirigakure from Yagura's genocide." Mei reminds him. "I was never fond of the Jinchūriki power system. What right do we have to burden them with the responsibility of carrying a tailed beast? The Seven-tailed Jinchūriki's name is Fū, Ao. I expect you to address her by name. " Mei commands with a stern voice.
"Forgive me, Lord Mizukage." Ao bows down to her, holding back his tongue.
"Good. Now let us talk about another interesting matter." Mei giggles.
"In what could that be, my Lord?" Ao questions.
"That Konoha swordsman, from the Chōtō incident, is he single?" Mei licks her lips.
"Lady Mizukage...are you serious?"
"I'm completely serious, Ao. I want to know about that boy." Mei orders her Advisor.
'Kami, help me.' Ao sobs internally.

[Konohakagakure]
Tsunade took a jug of her sake, the liquid slipping down her chin as the Hokage takes her day drink to balance her stress.
"Slow down, Tsuna. Thr sake isn't going anywhere. " Taiju comments from her opened window.
Taiju had one foot out of tge window and the other anchoring his body as he was still wearing his ash-themed kimono.
"Don't talk right now, I'm trying to stop my headache. " Tsunade justifies her drinking.
"There's no need to lie; I won't judge you, Tsuna. We've done far worse in this office~"
"Huck!" Tsunade chokes on her sake.
"Gulp-don't say such things when I'm drinking!" Tsunade chokes out her anger.
Taiju ignores her threat, moving over to her right; he wipes the smudge of alcohol on her chin.
"T-Taiju..." Tsunade blushes at the tender care.
"Can't have Shizune seeing you like this now; she already hates me for ruining her sleep with our activities. "
Rumble...
"Taiju. " Tsunade barks through her chakra release.
Taiju leaks his own chakra, amplifying his chakra with Shifuku's golden chakra to much Tsunade's emission.
"This is the fourth desk this week,let's not make Shizune's job any harder. "
"Bastard. " Tsunade grumbles her complaint.
Concealing her chakra to stop the tremors in her office and probably the whole building.
"Fine. Get out of my office so that I can focus. " Tsunade rudely kicks him out.
"No." Taiju smirks, "Let me help you out~"
"Taiju–aahh!" Tsunade squeals out a moan.
Taiju mercilessly jabs his calloused thumbs into the flesh of her shoulders. Adding a bit of chakra to his fingers to massage her muscles, Taiju unwanted contact made her stiff in her seat before eventually giving into his service.
"I...hate...yyouuu." Tsunade's vibrates.
"It's one thing to be a drunk, but being a stiff jointed drunk is something else."
"F#ck off–Taiju!" Tsunade curses at him.
Taiju shakes his head at her language, resuming his massage. "Stop fussing. " Taiju presses his fingers on a tough knot.
"Oouuu...that feels good." Tsunade murmurs in bliss. "Taiju. "
"Tsuna?"
"I need you to promise me something. "
"Anything, Love."
Tsunade rolls her eyes at his words but her smile stubbornly shows. "I need you to take care of Naruto, he isn't a popular person in Konoha."
"Neither am I." Taiju chuckles.
"Regardless, I need you to keep him safe. You're the only person I trust not to exploit him if I'm never around –"
"Don't finish that sentence. " Taiju presses another stubborn muscle.
Tsunade purrs like a spoiled cat, "J-Just...keep him safe, promise?"
"I promise. " Taiju oaths.
"Thank you. Now move to my back, that's a whole community of pain for you tackle. "
"On it, Love."
End.
