FLASHBACK -11 years
It was the first year, marking her term in office. She had done much work to gain the village standing, some of which gave them ill light but that was to be expected. She could hear the commotion in the hallway, the sound of people moving towards the office doors, and the sounds of her guards and Mei Kiri moving to attention. It was if someone big named or important person was coming, when the door opened she was greeted by the standard guardsmen wearing the colors of the council. A frown quickly moving onto her face, the council was growing a bit too self-absorbed, even their guards had a standard now. Following the guards were five members of the seven members on the Elders Council.
"Greetings, Mizukage-sama"
Came the greeting from head council member Seito. Rinruri bowed her head as she stood to greet them, as was tradition.
"Honored Council members…"
She replied with a bow of her head, before straightening back up again.
"Not that I am not glad to see you, honored council, but what warrants this visit, very unlike you to come all this way"
As she spoke Seito nodded to the guard, and the curtains were drawn in the room, the door was shut and the guards sat down on the floor holding the ram seal in their hands. Rinruri watched them and noticed how much quitter the room became. Ah…I see, blocking the surveillance equipment… Seems this is to be a private meeting
"Mizukage-sama, it has come time for the bijuu that Kirigakure possess to be sealed into a body… We are going to need those weapons in the years to come"
An odd look came across Rinruri’s face as she looked to the older men of the council, seeing the seriousness in their eyes. Her own cold demeanor spoke nothing as to her intent nor feeling on the matter, but for those who knew her past and had connection to her family, would know inside she was furious. Her eyes flashed over each of them, and it seemed for the briefest moments she was glaring at them. But this faded as quickly as it was shown.
"I see… Has there been someone chosen for this? Or is it to be another prominent shinobi possibly lost?"
The seething rage hidden in her words, spoke to the council, as Seito glared back at her. So she knows…about her brother… Seito thought to himself, before one of the other council members spoke.
"Last times unfortunate incident has taught us not to waste village resources in such a way… the host we have chosen is an orphan boy, not yet a member of the academy… by the name of Shosuke"
Her eyes showed nothing, nor did she say anything on the matter until she nodded.
"Good, if this host does not respond well to the sealing, like the previous try, we will have not lost anything… Have it done as soon as possible, I’ll leave the matter of how, in your, very capable hands, Honorable Council members"
She said, and then bowed, the five members bowing in turn before Seito motioned to the guards. Slowly the soft buzzing of the surveillance equipment came back, and the blinds and door were opened again. The council members slowly left the room, the guards shutting the doors behind them. After a reasonable amount of time, she flipped a switch under her desk. The buzzing stopped, as this was her way of turning off the surveillance equipment. From under her desk, she produced a open scroll with glowing writing on it, the writing slowly fading to black ink as the seal finished. She slowly rolled up the scroll and sealed it with a tag, before unlocking a drawer on her desk, inside where similar scrolls sealed in the same manner. She set the new one inside, the latest in her collection of meetings with the council.
