[Video]

[ When the video first goes on, the screen is covered by a glove-covered hand, but after a slight shaky moment as it's set down on some sort of ledge, the hand retreats, revealing Kakashi standing outside. A few trees, still droopy with melting snow, can be seen in the background. Those familiar with the terrain might recognize it to be near Flame Building. ]

Hello, Luceti.

[ Kakashi dips his head in greeting, since he's addressing all of Luceti. ]

My name is Hatake Kakashi. Some of you may be familiar with me. For those of you who aren't, I'm a shinobi from a village called Konohagakure -- or Konoha for short -- in a country called "Fire Country." I am also the Commander of the Third Division, which is primarily a short-to-mid-range combat division, of the Allied Shinobi Forces. Many of you may be acquainted with or might recognize my comrades, amongst whom include Uzumaki Naruto, Nara Shikamaru, and Rock Lee. [ The names Kakashi lists aren't at random, but selected based on his observations of how recognizable those names would be. ]

The reason why I reach out to all of you today is simple. While things in Luceti currently are peaceful, and it appears we have nothing to worry about, the ever-present threat of the Malnosso and the Third Party remains. Kidnappings still occur, with seemingly no conceivable way to stop or fight them. Should there be an attack on the enclosure, at present, there is no organized force that can fight in concert to protect the enclosure and ensure the safety of civilians who might not be able to fight back. While some of us may be used to working together due to missions and drafts, as far as I am aware, no formal training or maneuvers are ever held to ensure all parties working together are using the best tactics and strategy. And from what I know, there are no formal safety measures in place to protect civilians or evacuate them to safer ground should a fight break out, as it did a few months ago.

On behalf of Konohagakure and Fire Country, by order of Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage-sama, I would like to formally extend an invitation to anyone who has military training, unique or magical powers, or immense skill in battle strategy, espionage and intelligence-gathering, field medicine, hacking, or other specialized skills to join us in forming an alliance. This alliance would not only give those of us from different worlds a chance to meet and discuss our shared interests in protecting Luceti's inhabitants, but would also give us the opportunity to learn and adapt how to fight with and against those with different training or powers. By conducting shared training sessions, maneuvers, disaster simulations, and taking missions together, we can share resources and power, as well as develop strategy.

As for who's in charge... seeing as we're all from different worlds, it would make much more sense for us to establish a council of leaders from different worlds. We invite leaders from other worlds who might have similar shared interests to contact us, and open a line of dialogue.

We look forward to hearing from you all.

[ Speech finished, Kakashi bows to the camera again, then reaches out and turns off the feed. ]

[ Yup, that sure is Kakashi walking vertically up the side of a wall. Just strolling along like it's no big deal. ]

By order of Yondaime Hokage-sama, the Konohagakure Jounin Exams will soon be held for all qualified Chuunin. If you are interested in participating, a sign-up form has been placed on the door of Yondaime-sama's place of residence. Direct any questions you might have to Hatake Kakashi.

[ Text | Filtered 100% to Shikamaru ]

Shikamaru, I've nominated you for jounin promotion to Yondaime. Though we've decided to hold jounin exams, I've requested a special exception for you. However, if you would like to take the exams in the interest of fairness, you are still welcome to do so. - Kakashi

[ Text | Filtered 100% to Naruto ]

Naruto, I just wanted to let you know that I nominated you for jounin promotion. However, because you are still genin, it will be necessary for you to take the exam. - Kakashi

[ Text | Filtered 100% to Sakura ]

Sakura, I've nominated you for jounin promotion. Usually, this means immediate promotion, but because your peers don't have anyone to nominate them, we've decided to hold exams this year. Let me know if you would like to compete in them. - Kakashi

((ooc: Since this is a call for discussion, feel free to thread-jack and hold your own conversations throughout the post. Kakashi will try his best to answer all comments. Also, feel free to comment on this post even it's super late. As long as we're within the 3 month bracket, we're cool!))

Ah.

[ It's an incredible skill. He can imagine how useful it must be for things of a larger scale than recreating a mask.

Of course, natural curiosity wonders what Kakashi is so intent on hiding, but it isn't of any consequence. They've gotten just a bit off-topic already, though Erwin supposes that questions about the ninja's skills aren't entirely out of place in a discussion about an alliance. ]


I apologize for side-tracking you. You were about to mention something else?

[personal profile] corps 2014-02-22 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
I would be glad to meet the Hokage, and a demonstration is a fine idea. But against what sort of enemies?

[ It's been...quite a while since Erwin has been an active part of any sort of team kill, though he's sure that he could perform a pair kill with Levi easily enough. Levi and the cadets can demonstrate further.

And this is, of course, only the case if they are discussing titans. ]


As you know, the creatures we are used to fighting are a great deal different than what we would likely be facing here. We are learning to adapt our methods, of course, but it will take more time and training.

[ He'd been thinking the Battle Dome too--it's merely a question of whether Kakashi wanted to see the full extent of their capabilities, or what they are able to do here and now. Erwin is glad he apparently means the former. ]

That is what I had in mind as well.

[ A nod. ]

I presume, as a part of this alliance, I can also request a demonstration from a few of your men?

[personal profile] corps 2014-02-24 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
In that case, I'll certainly come and observe. I'm sure that seeing you in action will suffice.

[ A smile over the rim of his tea mug as he takes a sip. He'd better start drinking it before it goes cold. ]

May I ask who this other resident is?

[ Ginia? This will be even more interesting to watch than he'd anticipated. ]

I'm familiar with her. She's been a great help to Levi and I since we arrived.

[personal profile] corps 2014-02-24 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It should be.

[ And, shifting topics as another idea occurs to him. ]

If you would like to speak to either of my cadets at any point before our demonstration, their names are Jean Kirstein and Marco Bott.

[personal profile] corps 2014-03-10 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ A nod. Erwin will wait to introduce the cadets himself, but if Kakashi has occasion to speak to them, he's welcome to. ]

Thank you. Of course, both Levi and I can be reached easily if you have need of us.

[ He'll have a look at that list as soon as Kakashi leaves. They're people he'll be very interested in meeting. ]
corps: (pic#7423676)

[personal profile] corps 2014-03-10 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Not at present. Thank you for your time, Commander. I'm sure we will be seeing plenty of one another over the coming weeks.

[ Erwin extends his hand for a shake, because handshakes are fundamentally good for strengthening a connection, and a connection with Kakashi is absolutely essential. ]

[personal profile] corps 2014-03-10 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ As Kakashi makes ready to go, a small smile plays across Erwin's lips. ]

Would you rather leave through the door, or should I open the window again?
corps: nope not me no way (Default)

[personal profile] corps 2014-03-10 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Until next time, then.

[ He'll be keeping a lookout for Kakashi strolling up the building in the future. ]
