[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. ]


[ Text | Filtered 100% to fellow ninja, written in extremely formal language ]

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!))

That's really sweet of you.

[Ino watches Kushina try and tack the paper back on the door more with fondness now than with amusement.]

But you don't have to do that. I mean I think it won't be right for a judge like yourself.

[FLUSTERED BLUSHING as she continues her attempt. Finally it stays and she pulls back to look at it.]

I don't care. The only reason I said I would be a judge was because I asked if I could still give everyone my support. It's not like any of the other judges are going to do it. It's just me.
floralogy: (sorry you need a new face)

[personal profile] floralogy 2014-02-23 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
Well, suit yourself, I guess.

[She knows the woman has iron steel determination like her son so she's not going to argue about this anymore. Glancing back at the carefully tacked paper, Ino gestures for it.]

May I?

[Sign her name and all. Hey, she even brought her own pen!]
fervidity: DO NOT TAKE ICON!!! (shock→ mphmphphph?)

[personal profile] fervidity 2014-02-24 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[She steps back, realizing what Ino wants to do.]

Oh. Yeah, sorry.

[That's why it's there.]

It's okay, no harm done.

[She gives a smile as reassurance before going ahead to sign her name. She even draws a little heart at the end of it. When done, she steps back and addresses Kushina again.]

So, Naruto's going to take the exams too, right?
fervidity: (shock→ say what)

[personal profile] fervidity 2014-02-25 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hearts for Ino. Swirls for Kushina. She can feel a smile on her face because it's there, already knowing she doesn't have to worry too much about Ino compared to Lee.]

He's a Genin.

[It was a surprise to her when Kakashi told her. Ino probably knew how the system worked, so Kushina is a bit confused why she would ask that. To everyone else, he wouldn't be able to.]

Do you want him to?
floralogy: (so you're a lady?)

[personal profile] floralogy 2014-02-26 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She shrugs and throws back the question.]

Do you? I mean you're his mom.

[Ino does know the system. In fact, when Naruto was away for two years and they had to take the Chuunin Exams, she and Chouji had to take Sakura in as a part of their team since Shikamaru's already a Chuunin. She knows the process, but they're not exactly back in Konoha.]

Yeah, he's a Genin but he has to take the exams at some point, may it be to become a Chuunin or a Jounin.
fervidity: (calm→ is it a bird?)

[personal profile] fervidity 2014-02-26 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Of course SHE does, that's kind of rhetorical. Does she mean it's rhetorical if she's asking Ino because of course she would want him to, as well?

She didn't know Ino was Naruto's friend too. Well, she had an idea but it seemed like she was closer to Shikamaru and Chouji because of that Ino-Shika-Chou thing. And their dads would have them hang out as kids or something.]


I asked Kakashi if there was going to be a Chuunin exam too, because of Naruto.
