The Heart of the Village

The Amekage, Jade, was standing at her window with her hands behind her back. It was a beautiful sight to see, all of her villagers were walking around living their normal day lives. Most of them without a care in the world, just like she wanted it to be. She was the one who would take responsibility for everything, so she didn't want them to worry about anything. Although, the ninjas still needed to be on their A-game. There were missions that needed to be done.

Jounin of the Rain, Akuma. Was standing ontop of a building, with his jounin outfit on, he sighed a moment, gazing down on all the people walking through the rain. People in the country got use to the rain and keep going like it was the sun shine in Konoha. His hair was around covering his wet ears. His mouth sealed as the building was in range of the Amekage. But he didn't care, he just stood there.

Jade sat back down at her desk and closed her eyes. She was thinking about the war that was soon to come, and how it would effect the whole ninja world. She found that there was no point in the war, and didn't want any part of it. But, if she didn't partake in it, her village would definitely be attacked. So, what more could she really do. Jade clasped her hands together and held them in front of her face, still with her eyes closed. To the people of Amegakure, it was a beautiful day with all of the rain. The people didn't know that she was behind the rain that was falling down. It was a defense mechanism, she could detect everyone in the village with this jutsu. It allowed her to know if their was an intruder in the village. Luckily, their was no dangerous threats roaming the village today.

But, she did feel one of her bests Jounin standing on a building nearby. She looked out the window and saw him standing their. What was he doing by standing their on top of one of these buildings. There wasn't anyone around that he should worry about. He probably was just clearing his mind and thinking about different things, or just observing the beauty of the village like she was. Jade assumed that he saw her staring at him from her office.

As he stared down he catchs looks from many children. Just staring, he could not tell were they staring at him in interest or in fear. This village was full of freaks and people who were alot stranger then anything. He understood this to the fullest, and then to there looks, he gave him a friendly nod from the head. And one of the children gave him a smile and they all went there own ways. He shifted his neck up looking at the sky which seem to have poured endless rain. As it showered his face he knew that was the reason of this village, strong ninjas and the wonderful rain. The rain that made you seem like you were never alone, the rain that followed you everywhere you go. The Rain that can change your life. Although there was alot of fear in the country he knew this is what he loved, this is what the village loved. This is what the country loved.


After injoying the rain he put his head down so it was straight forward, and found his AmeKage staring at him, maybe she was wondering what he was doing. He sighed a moment as he knew he should check in with her, or it would have been counted as rude. He leaped off the building and ontop of the amekage building and made his way to the door where he knocked.

Jade turned her head towards the door, when Akuma left the roof of the building. The building he was standing on, turned out to be a hospital that was located next to the Amekage's mansion. Jade was contemplating if she should tell Akuma about the war that had been planned. She hadn't been sure if she was ready for the war to come or not. The village was just so peaceful, it wasn't ready for that type of damage.

The knock on the door caught Jade's attention as she looked up towards the tall wooden door. She was almost sure that it would be Akuma. "You may come in, Akuma." He was her most trustworthy Jounin, and she told him a lot of things. She even trusted him with a lot of the most dangerous missions in the village. He acted as her Bodyguard sometimes and she was grateful to have him by her side.

As he stood there he could feel the cameras staring at him, it was extremely breif, but afterwards the cameras began scanning other places, he sighed a moment in nervousment. He always knew when he would come here unexpected she would tell him something that would blow his mind. Last time he came to her when she didn't expect it, she wanted to go to the rice country to try out a hotel, and she needed someone to go with her. All the other people were either busy or perverts. So she choose him and after that he laughed at that. But now he was standing there in the door. Knowing something could be wrong, he considered her his only friend. He doesn't make any, but it was good to be on the amekage side.


He heared her voice which informed him to come inside of her office. He was glad he was taught manners, because if not he would have barged in and automaticly he would have been sent out by the large amounts of ANBU lerking around every corner of the building. Akuma got use to it though. He turned the nob and pushed the door open and walked through he closed the door. And stood feet away from her desk and stood firm. Waiting for his orders

Akuma walked inside of the office, he was dripping wet from the rain outisde. It didn't seem to bother her that it was dripping all over the carpet. She was use to things being wet around this village, it was actually pretty refreshing. Like the smell of fresh air, except for it being rain. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked up at him. She set both of her hands down on the desk and stared at Akuma for a moment. Her eyes were cold, it wasn't usual for her eyes to be cold like that. But, it was just the situation that made them go like that.

Jade felt it was a good time to tell Akuma about the situation. The doors and walls to the inside of the room had no type of surveillance in them. That meant that no one could hear or see their conversation. Jade turned around and pulled the rope near the curtains, closing them slowly. "Akuma. I'm about to tell you something that is really important, can you promise me that you will not speak a word or even hint it to anyone?" She knew that he could, but she needed him to swear that he wouldn't. If word of the war got out, then their could be major chaos around the village.

He sighed as he showed respect to her by giving her space from her desk to where he was standing at. His eyes were normal, they were always normal. He could always talk to her when he needed it. He was one of the best deacated to what he does and do 100%. He was a strong man that knew when women are troubled by something. As she sat there he finally opened his mouth to talk"Your eye........only one reason they are as cold like that....." he spoke very softly as the rain from behind her cryed from the heavens. But he still stood there, he stood by herside by the most crazist moments, and he wasn't going to stop now. He watched as she stood up and closed the curtains. He couldn't show any emotion because she was not telling her anything. He waited untill she would turn around, he watched as she closed the sight between his eyes and the rain that was spashing there. She looked at Akuma. Akuma felt something in his brain that was telling him that something was about to go down. His eyes widen abit as she began to talk about Akuma not telling anyone what she was about to tell him. He put his right arm to his chest like a balled fist type, which was a soilder bow as he straighten up his feeting on standing."I shall not tell a soul......Understood" he said firmly as his heart skipped a beat.

Jade nodded in approval to his commitment. She hesitated, still debating whether or not she should tell him or not. This was an important matter, and she hoped he wouldn't handle it badly. Finally, she raised her head up and stared him in the eye. This was a serious matter, and she had to make sure he understood that. Now that she had his word, she needed to tell him what was going on. Her mouth slowly opened as she began to speak. "Their is going to be a war. I don't know when, but their will be one. It will involve all the Countries, whether they choose to cooperate with it or not." She stopped talking after letting out what she needed to say. Then she looked back down at her desk, waiting for his response.

As he stared at her, he took a deep breath. He was thinking all kinds of thought, she could want to tell him anything, like leaving the village or something. He sighed again, being abit depressed cuz she won't open her mouth and tell him something that was bothering her! He was tense now and a sweat dropped from his head. Then she began to speak, then after hearing that it was going to be a war. His face was no longer the same. He went pale for a few seconds, and slowly his color went back to normal and he stared down thinking of all the lives that will and can be lose if things start off like this. His face told her that he was not taking this well."I can't let this happen to the village" he said boldly as his eyes moved up staring at the woman."I won't let this happen to the village, I refuse....this village and you is all I got....what do I have to do...to stop this war...I'll travel the whole world if I have to" the Loyal Jounin said to his kage, he was pissed now.

Akuma reacted the way she had expected he would. Right off the back he was worried for the village. Wondering what he could do to help, anything he could do at all he would do. But, sadly their was no answer for that, their wasn't anything they could do, the war was almost unavoidable. It would be a pointless war, and thousands would die. Yet, it would happen in front of their very eyes. "Calm down!" Jade said in a firm voice. She didn't want him to panic too much, he had to be calm. "Their is nothing we can do. All we can do is wait, until the time comes. Then I will figure something out." It was the sad, but honest truth. What could they possibly do to prevent this war from happening.

His mind snapped as he heared what she said about doing nothing. It shocked him that she would say something like that, he was still pissed as she told him to wait. That was something he shall not do, he took a deep breath"WHAT!" he let out of his mouth. He didn't know what he was talking about. He then began to know what he could do. He sighed a moment and turned his whole body towards the door back towards his beautiful kage."hehehehhe.....My appologizes for yelling....But" He said as he stopped and look towards the door."If you can't do anything now...I'm sorry for you...but you as well as I know what I would do for this village.....Even if it kills me.....thats exacly why." he stopped as he walked towards the nob and stopped waiting for what she is going to say.

Jade simply folded her hands as he yelled his one word. He seemed shocked by her answer to what would she do. Instead of scolding him for yelling, she let him continue to speak his mind. It was better to just let him get what he needed to off of his mind. That way, everything he needed to say was their and then he could speak with a clear mind. What are you planning on doing? You know that you are not allowed to tell anyone about this. I mean anyone and anything! She raised her voice on her last sentence, because she was serious about this. It was dangerous to tell the villagers, it could start a big commotion. Jade was willing to kill Akuma to keep the secret safe. She hoped that he wouldn't do anything stupid, that could jeopardize the safety of the village.

Jade had thought of a treaty, but they could easily break it without a feeling. But, she just let him go on with it. Who knew, it might work after all. Just as she thought he was about to leave, he stopped and started speaking. It was about a man in her life. He set her up with someone!?!? Where did he get off setting her up on blind dates? Right when she was about to say something to him, he walked out of the room and left. Jade let out a sigh and went back to doing some work.
