==Title: A Good Day Gone Bad News of Death==
IItsumo:*Itsumo sat silently on a flat black rock stone that sat out behind the Kage building. The sun was just starting to rise creating a serene feel and look to the lake beyond. Her icy blue eyes scanned the patterns on the lake deep in thought but still paying attention to the area around her. It was quite in the village most of the small amount of noise came from the shop owners hurrying to their shops to get them open for the day ahead. The rest of the noise came from children heading off to the academy for their morning classes. She looked down at her lap where the long sword she had recently acquired laid sprawled out across the black material of her pants. Her black top draping down over the back of the rock. She let out a soft sigh her lips and nose covered by a black mask and scarf that was wrapped loosely over top of it. She needed to find out more about the sword she had found she already knew it was like no other sword she had ever seen it was able to rebuild itself by either killing or the blood of those it killed. This alone made her wonder what it was made of or where it came from it surely didn’t belong to Konaha she had read the reports on the village from her parents and others that used to live there none had ever mentioned the sword yet it was there. Perhaps it had been sealed in that cavern broken for many years.*
IItsumo: *Itsumo blinked and looked back out over the water the sun was now reflecting lightly in the water it was time for her to get moving. She gripped the hilt tightly with her right hand as she got to her feet lifting the sword and placing it on her back and securing it tightly so that it would not fall off as she moved. She then dusted off her lap and straightened her cloths and lept down off the rock. Her feet that were covered by soft black toeless socks landed on the cool earth below her. Looking down she realized that the fog was starting to once again set in as it did most every day in the village. She once again sighed and shook her head her long blonde hair falling down her back as she began to walk in the direction of the Kage building. The records and history of Yonshigakure and the accounts of the other villages those whom came here recorded for the knowledge of those of us whom would not be able to remember them. She made her way to the back door and slid the door open stepping inside the brightly lit building. Heading across the first level of the building to a side room that was locked with a key that only she possessed a copy of. As she reached the door she reached into the top of her shirt where she kept the key tucked and pulled it form its resting place. Extending the golden colored key into the lock on the large oak door and turning it to the right until she heard a small clicking noise. She returned the key to its place in her shirt and then put her hand on the silver knob and twisted the door pocking open slightly as she pushed it forward it opened and she slipped inside. The room was dark no one having entered the room since before she had left on the journey to find the summon she now possessed a contract with. She shut the door behind her and the little light that was coming in from the outside was lost. With a flick of her wrist she locked the door once more behind her as she felt along the wall for the light switch and the room came into the light.*
IItsumo: *The side room was filled with shelves that lined the walls filled with journals, books and scrolls all records of the information that this village had gathered since its rise. She herself had written several of the Journals with the events that unfolded over her time as a hunter ninja. In the center of the room was a table with chairs all around this was also a room where meetings could be held if needed in secret and out of ear shot of others. She scanned the shelves looking for any information that was written or gathered by the first hunter ninja of Yonshigakure this could give some insight as the origin of the sword that was now in her possession. After several minutes she found three of the journals written by the founder of the Hunter Ninja a Shinobi that came to Yonshigakure from Kirigakure many years ago during the war. She took the journals over to the table and set them down in front of her chair. She then unhocked the giant sword from her back and laid it across the table still within reach as she sat down in the chair and let out a soft sigh. She reached for one of the books and opened it scanning it page by page the first few chapters where why he left Kirigakure in the first place second chapter where about his days as a hunter ninja with in Kireigakure but the third was a tale that caught her eye. The third chapter was about Seven swordsmen that each had a unique sword in their possession however they each knew how to yield each of the seven swords. The chapter ended though at the bottom of the page of the chapter was a reference note written in later that each of the swords was described in another journal it seemed to be Nobu’s hard writing on the bottom of the page.*
Itsumo: *Itsumo got a strange feeling through her as memories of the former Shikage and her friend came back. He must have been looking into the swords he probably would have if he had the chance would have gone to look for them or sent her to find them for him. However, he died to soon for that to happened. She set the first Journal aside still open to the page as she reached for another one of the Journals and began to read through the Journal page by page, chapter by chapter. This Journal was more about the Hunter Ninja’s jutsu’s and the way they should be taught and passed on to future generations of Hunter Ninja with in the village and not shared with any others. His wish was that those jutsu and the tools of the hunter ninja would be lost if ever the village would fall. She appreciated this insight though she was trained in the same way the journals wished them to be and that made her smile softly under her mask. She closed that journal and set it aside. She sighed and took a deep breath and lifted her hands she began to unwind the black scarf that was around her neck and then folded it neatly and set it over the back of her chair. *
IItsumo: *Itsumo finally turned her attention back to the third and final Journal that she had found hoping that it would contain the information that she was seeking. She flipped open the Journal and began to skim the first chapter it was more information of the seven swordsmen and what they were taught and how the swords where passed from generation to generation. She then turned to the second chapter and the first page contained a picture of a very interesting looking pair of swords as she flipped to the next page it gave a small description of the blades they were known as the Kiba blades it did not give much detail on the blades themselves but it mentioned they were lightning rods and that they had been used for great evil in the past. She then turned the page again and saw another picture of an even stranger looking sword It looked like a giant senbon with a wire attached to its end. This sword drew her attention and made her curious indeed about it as she turned to the next page reading each detail of the sword that the written had been able to give. The sword was known as Nuibari it was used by one of the seven swords men to sew people together along with a few other interesting tricks it was quite interesting and she wondered where this sword if it was still in once piece had gotten to. She might have to do more research or have others look into finding this sword because it caught her attention. After a few minutes she forced her attention back to the task at hand and turned the page yet again finding a picture of a sword though this one looked more like an ax then a sword. She turned the page and read on that it was called Kabutowari it was nicknamed the helmet splitter and not much else about that sword was given. That didn’t bother Itsumo to much because it again didn’t seem that special to her but something could be missing from the information at hand. It was written a long time ago and things could have also changed in the time. She noticed that no information on where to find any of the swords so far had been listed with in the pages of the journal. She sighed softly and closed her eyes letting her mind wonder back to the sword that looked like a senbon once more. *
IItsumo: *After a few seconds Itsumo pulled her attention back to the journal in front of her and turned the page once again seeing a picture of a sword on the page in front of her. This one looked oddly like its blade was a scroll more than a blade. She turned the page to see only one word written on the page Shibuki. This made her think that the only thing he knew about this sword was its name and nothing more. She once again turned the page to see a picture of yet another sword thus making a total of four swords none of them looking or sounding like the sword she had found buried in an underground passage in the ruins of Konaha. She looked over the sword that was laying across the table in front of her and sighed then looked back at the journal. She flipped the page once again this time seeing an odd sword. Where the blade should be was covered in bandages and was wrapped up tightly. She turned the page and read on the name of the sword was Hiramekarei it was known as the twins sword and was capable of storing the users chakra as a reserve for later. This was very interesting to Itsumo though the sword looked odd and vary different sort of like a fish in some ways. She sighed softly as she shook her head wondering if the sword she possessed was even in this journal at all or if the sword belonged to another village completely. She wasn’t ready to give up there was supposedly seven swords of the mist and this was only the fifth one in the book there were still two more swords that she had not read about yet. She flipped the page once again and to her astonishment the sword on the page matched the sword that was sitting on the table in front of her. A smile spread across her face underneath of the black mask she wore. She had one of the seven swords of the mist in her possession swords said to be amongst the most powerful swords used by shinobi. She flipped the page eager to learn anything she could about the sword. Kubikiribōchō was the name of the sword it was also known as the Executioner's Blade. It was a massive broadsword shaped like a giant butcher knife and she found that kind of interesting as she read on she learned that it possessed an interesting ability this being its ability to reform itself using the iron harvested from the blood of its victims. This regenerative process takes place almost instantaneously and is capable of bringing the weapon back to its original condition no matter how severe the damage is, from a simple chip or nick to a complete separation of over half the blade. The sword also possesses high durability and is quite strong, able to cut through almost anything. That explained how the blade reformed itself from the half of a sword she had found before killing those men. She shook her head and closed the journal though she knew there was information on one more sword in the pages ahead she had found the information she was looking for. However now the hard decision came into play.  She picked up all three journals and took them back to the shelves on which she had found them and placed them neatly before returning to her chair and picking up her scarf she wrapped it once again around her neck and then picked up the Massive sword and placed it once again on her back before heading towards the door.*
IItsumo: *She shut the light and unlocked the door pushing it open only enough for her and the sword to be able to fit through before pushing it closed once more behind her coming into the bright and now loud lower level of the Kage office. She pulled the key out of it spot in her top and locked the door behind her and replaced the key once again in her shirt before turning to look around the office. No one seemed to notice she was their yet so she slipped out the back door into the fog of between the lake and the office once more. She then lept up onto the back balcony of the office and slipped into the nearby window that lead into a room that was her office. No one was there and no one seemed to be around so she sat herself on a lounge chair and pulled off the sword once more laying it across her lap. She looked down at it and sighed she was debating sealing it into one of her scrolls but at the current time she didn’t have any scrolls that were empty and she didn’t want to seal it with anything else. She did however have two new jutsu’s one that could carve seals into items and one that could seal items into those seals. She was debating sealing the sword into the scroll belt itself or even into the glove on her right hand. She wasn’t sure which one but she also could continue to carry the sword around as well. However, it would draw a lot of attention and with the upcoming trip for the chunin exams coming she didn’t need that much attention when traveling. She sighed softly and removed the glove off her right hand and laid it across the seat next to her she then took a deep breath and summoned her chakra into the pointer finger on her right finger a purple glow surrounded the tip of her finger as she then carefully began to draw a seal on the glove. She kept her chakra at a steady flow and her hand light movements slow and easily gliding over the fabric of the glove careful not to burn the whole way though the material. Several minutes later the seal was complete and was ready for her to seal the sword into it. She grabbed the glove and slipped it back onto her right hand before she closed her eyes for a moment once more.* 
IItsumo: *Itsumo sat with her eyes closed in the silent office of hers but after a few moments she felt chakra moving at a fast speed towards her office. It was two chakra signatures she knew to belong to members of the Anbu that guarded the main gate of the village though why they would be moving that fast towards her office she didn’t know. She opened her eyes just as they came through the door and before she had a chance to speak both of them started speaking at the same time making it impossible for Itsumo to understand a word they were saying. She finally held up her hand to the two and spoke in a normal tone. * “Hold on, One of you at a time tell me what is going on.” *after that she went silent and waited for the two anbu to speak. After several seconds the female anbu with blue hair finally spoke up.* Anbu 1:“Lady Itsumo there is a vary strong Chakra signature approaching the main gate. Intelligence tells us it belongs to a female shinobi with bright red hair.” *The girl took a breath and the male Anbu with her whom had dark brown hair spoke next* “She is dressed in dark purple and seems to be covered in blood of some kind. They also said her eyes look strange.” *Itsumo blinked wondering whom this could be without thinking she took up the sword from her lap and tied to it her back once more and then motioned with her hand for the Anbu to fallow her. She body flickered to the main gate and stood atop the gate with several of the other anbu the two that had come to her office appeared seconds after her on either side of her. She could now sense the chakra they were talking about but what was odd is she knew it very well. Her Icey blue eyes went wide as she was in shock they were saying the chakra belonged to a female that was impossible the chakra she was feeling belonged to Kagato the Amekage. She jumped down off the top of the gate and held up her hand for the Anbu to stay put as she walked forward to meet the woman they were speaking of. Her eyes looked like his eyes and her hair was the same color as his but she was clearly not him. Had this been some kind of jutsu he was using or a form of a puppet of some kind she was still debating it when the woman approached her. The woman held out her hand and in it was a purple scroll with the seal of the Amekage on it. Itsumo held out her own hand to take the scroll from the woman. Once the scroll was in Itsumo’s possession the woman turned and left the same direction she had just come from.*
IItsumo: *This caught Itsumo off guard as she watched the woman walk away after giving her the scroll. She shook her head and looked down at the scroll and headed back towards the main gate of the village. The Anbu didn’t ask any questions just stared at her confused as she ignore them and walked through the gate and back towards her office once more. After several long minutes of walking that felt like hours she reached the kage building and headed inside. This time everyone noticed her entering she was sure they had all heard by now of the stranger approaching and wondered what was going on but she didn’t even know herself what had just happened so she shook her head and silently walked towards the stairs that lead up to her office. She opened the door and then shut it and locked it behind her knowing that a locked door wouldn’t stop shinobi if they really wanted to get in but she wasn’t going to go through the process of sealing the door just to open a scroll. She made her way over to her desk and set the scroll down on top before removing the sword and leaning it against the desk before taking a seat in her chair. She then took the time to unseal the scroll and unroll it before she began to read what was inside. As she read her heart sank as she received the news that the young yamanaka had not been able to be saved in time however that those responsible where gone did give her some comfort.  She was also told that a memorial was being held for the young girl after the Chunin exams had ended. She would make a special trip to Amegakure for this memorial no questions asked the girl was smart and part of her clan she still felt responsible for the girl being taken she was a kage and couldn’t protect on single girl. She sighed softly and rolled the scroll back up opening the top drawer of her desk and setting the scroll inside before closing her eyes and holding back the emotion that was threatening to bubble over. She still couldn’t believe the girl was dead this had just become a very sad day indeed.*
 IItsumo: *She snapped herself out of it as she realized she still didn’t know what that thing was that came to deliver the scroll she had never seen anything like that. It looked to be human but it had kagato’s eyes and his chakra and nothing even her doll could possess both of those things and not look like its true self a clone would be an option if it wasn’t a female. She didn’t know how to take any of this so she sighed and tried to let it slip from her mind. However, the thought still stuck to her brain. She realized then that the chunin exams where approaching fast she had selected two genin to accompany her and a Jounin name Kyo to the Examination location and the two genin would then partake in the exams. This would be the first time in a few years that Yonshigakure partook in the chunin exams and she hoped they would make her proud. After a few moments of her mind going from one thing to another she finally remembered what she had been doing when the Anbu had interrupted her she was working on sealing the sword into her right glove so after she finally got her focus back she smiled and looked over at the sword sitting next to her. She then grabbed the sword that was leaning against the desk in her right hand and then placed her left hand on the seal that was now on her right glove after several seconds the sword would disappear from her hand and the seal would glow softly before going back to normal. Itsumo would then sigh softly and get to her feet it had been a long day and she didn’t feel like doing anything else of importance so she left her office and headed back to the Yamanaka compound to prepare for the trip to the exam location and pack enough stuff for the memorial for the young Yamanaka*
==End Results:==
Itsumo's Day started off good and relaxing as she did researching and discovered more about the Sword she had found in Konaha. She then decided to seal the sword away but in the process of doing so was inturpted about a stranger approching the village. She went to meet the stranger whom oddly had Kagato's chakra and eyes and was given a scroll that contined infromation about Akatori's death and the memorial that was to be held. After finally regaining focus she sealed the sword into her right glove and then went to start packing for her trip to the Exam Location.
