How many Kages do we still have left?

[KonokoHasano]

"..." Ritsu just stares at Raleigh. "You know, perhaps I'm not meant for the whole ninja thing in the long run. In fact, I think I'll just mainly keep to myself... kay?"

[Kether]

"I don't think that's a ninja thing.. I think that's Raleigh bat(profanity) insane thing"

[Raleigh]

*Rolls his eyes.* Very well, if it flies in the face of the tourney's goal, my people will merely clone what they can then and leave the victim in tact. *Shrugging he chuckles.* Besides, if they are half way decent ninja, they never really lose. They should know when to run and escape before death sets in if it came to that. Then again, if trained right, substitution pretty much eliminates the risk of death outright.

*Ponders how anyone wouldn't take everything they could from a defeated opponent and finds the concept beyond alien to his mind.*

[Miku-chan]

A shadowy veil appears, the voice behind it distorted and seems to sund slightly different to every one in attendence...' Why not put somde of those clowns to use now that they are starting to lurk thru town? Hehehe'

[Blaze]

"The meat of the weak is the food for the strong eh? I can't fault that viewpoint Mr. Raleigh, but this tournament is not life or death. It is simply so the ninja villages can show their power, drum up interest in themselves and do some recruiting. Defeated opponents will be teleported off the field, along with anything they own, so taking weapons, armour of even organs is pointless."Fimbulvetr explains, giving Ritsu a reassuring smile.

[Raleigh]

Aye, I remember you saying that before. Just stirring things up a bit by mentioning what could be. I'm more than content to simply keep whatever we observe if that is all we can get. Besides this way I won't have my people killing off potential recruits.

Ooh, for a possible new village how about steampunk ninjas? We need more steampunk around here anyway.

[KonokoHasano]

"I don't really have a problem with THAT. I just... I dunno." Shrugs a bit as she sits back. "I just hate having stuff I own taken is all."

[Raleigh]

Understandable my dear. ((Heh, let me point out that whole tirade was in character. I wouldn't dream of actually taking items from anyone's actual characters. Duping them maybe but taking them not at all. That bit was in regards to how the unnamed npc events are likely to go down.))

[KonokoHasano]

[XD I understand, and it makes sense.]

[Kether]

"No one is forcing anything, if you don't want to do it, step down"

[Raleigh]

So, Fim, when will this be ready? I already am receiving reports through my familiars of some of my ninja signing on for the chance to test themselves and, more importantly, others.

[Blaze]

Fimbulvetr grins and nods.

"Well, first I will need the Kage's signed agreement that they will partake and adhere to the rules."

She produces a contract from one of her many pouches with a large gap at the bottom for signatures.

"Just sign at the bottom if you care to join."

[KonokoHasano]

Ritsu hmms at this and proceeds to read the contract. "Just can't go signing any little thing."
