Ninja From the Past

A messenger pigeon would find its way into Kumogakure's aviary after going through whatever safety screening needed. Attached to its back would be a scroll case and within containing a scroll from Kirigakure's official Administration. Once retrieved its contents would read:

“What is this bitch on about?” muttered Ryuko as she read the letter.  Internally she was so furious at the words it contained that she had to fight off the urge to simply crumple it.  Instead she set it aside knowing that it would serve as valuable historical evidence in the years to come.

If Konoha hadn’t been such bastards they wouldn’t have gotten involved in their affairs in the first place.  Letting one of the nations under your control go independent and then turning around and trying to take it back the next day was the height of hubris.  That they had done so under the guise of using the Mountain alliance as a front was all the more deplorable.

She’d stepped in thinking she was helping a valuable potential trading partner stabilize only to find out that she’d put her foot into a situation that was far more complex than it appeared at first glance.   She’d had her suspicions that Konoha had been backing the Alliance but nothing to prove it.  If she’d known for sure from the start she might have taken a different approach though to be honest she would have ended up backing Iwa’s independence regardless.

Regardless if Kiri didn’t want to be policed then perhaps they should take actions that were more befitting for a major power.   It was one thing to conquer a nation but it was another to rape and pillage the population the way Kiri had done to the Land of Demons.    Actions such as those were utterly reprehensible and beyond the pail.

“You should have heeded your own advice Hana.” Ryuko muttered darkly as she claimly penned a response formally declaring war between the two powers and had it sent off to Kiri.
