How many Kages do we still have left?

[Kether]

"If you two are no longer interested the possitions can be passed"

[KonokoHasano]

"Never said I wasn't interested. Just because I haven't really done anything doesn't mean that."

[Raleigh]

Eh, I've always been partial to ninjas myself so I'm fine keeping mine. Admittedly my interpretation is more in line with silent assassins than day to day one trick pony grunts.

[Kether]

Well what about restarting recruiting for you two then?

[Blaze]

Fimbulvetr appears before the group, looking rather amused.

"Perhaps I can make a suggestion?"

Without waiting for an answer, she unfurls a blueprint and shows it to the assembled. It depicts a massive battleground with varied terrain! A thick forest, a swamp, a lake with some islands scattered in it, an open field, a volcano, a desert section, an ice field and an urban area! The whole place is linked by a series of caverns with underground ruins among them.

"I suggest a free for all between any ninja village that wishes to participate. I offer a massively varied battleground to fight in so that each village can fight in an area they are strong in or force opponents to fight in an area their skills are weaker in. The Kages can participate in combat themselves or manage their forces from afar. Your ninja can fight at full strength with no fear of dying. Anyone who suffers a mortal wound will be healed instantly and teleported away. I also propose that fighters not aligned with any village partake and can be 'scouted' by you for recruitment."

[Raleigh]

Greetings Fimb. *Looks over the plans.* I like your proposal myself. Especially about using it as a recruiting grounds if for nothing else. I'm assuming from that aspect that its all monitored so we can pick out hopefuls from those that are active withing. In that case are we only allowed to review our own ninjas and those who are unaligned or is it free to observe all participants?

[KonokoHasano]

Ritsu looks over the blueprints. "That's a nice creation you've got there."

[Kether]

"perhaps a machine one would be a good addition..."

[Blaze]

Fimbulvetr indicates the urban areas.

"Plenty of machinery in these areas."

She turns to FRaleigh and grins.

"I doubt any villiage would want their rivals to have an unrestricted view of their ninjas, so yes. You can only see enemy ninja when they engage your ninja or any unaligned fighters."

"I meant for a fourth village.. robotkind"

[Blaze]

"Well, from what I heard, the young lady's village was mostly robots." Fimbulvetr says, pointing to Ritsu.

[Raleigh]

I have no problem with it though I will warn my agents are likely to cannibalize any machine they defeat. Of course, that makes it no different than what they will do with any organic either I suppose when I say it out loud.

"How long has your agents been eating people?"

[Raleigh]

Some of them all their lives but I was rather referring to the fact that they will take anything useful from those they defeat. Weapons, armor, knowledge, organs, and so on. A few of them, myself included, are likely to eat their defeated opponents though. I was just making sure its understood we would do similar to machines. Its cheaper than me and my other agents having to materialize or mine all the parts ourselves and I can only spend so much time crafting gene therapies when its easier to just steal the special body parts from those who already have them.

I Think this violates the whole tournament idea.
