Several days have passed since the incident that transpired at Naruto's funeral. Standing on his desk, with one hand he bounced a ball of yarn off the wall. In his other hand he held his pipe, the foul odor of opium seeped from his bowl.
"Matamune-dono," a feminine voice called from the open door frame, looking back he acknowledged Kaoru with a nod. "You really shouldn't smoke inside your office, the aroma is horrendous."
Inhaling a cloud of smoke, his pipe flared. He turned and looked at his assistant as his stout nails slide across the wooden bowl. "I will smoke where I want," he replied to Kaoru with a smile, "I am the Kazekage, after all."
"That you are, Matamune-dono." his assistant nodded in agreement, holding her breath as if not to inhale the foul aroma. "You returned from your trip to Konohagakure today. How was Naruto-sama's funeral?"
"Hn?" he muttered in a tone of contemplation, choosing the words he wanted to use carefully. "It was interesting. During the benediction of the ceremony, a man named Hata Ōjin arrived and announced the escape of the Ichibi to the Hokage and Raikage."
"What!?" exclaimed Kaoru, "How did they react?"
"Accordingly." he said, taking another pull from his pipe, the purple-ish smoke billowed and slipped from his fury lips. "That wasn't the interesting part," he continued, smiling. "He announced an idea that I find...brilliant."
Walking closer to the desk, Kaoru began to rummage through some papers and started tidying up a bit. Matamune's desk was stacked with manila folders and scrolls. There were also small boxes labeled "DO NOT OPEN" with three long pipes resting on each side of the wooden boxes. "Idea?" she repeated back inquisitively, "What idea?"
"To seal away all of the bijū forever." Emptying the bowl of his pipe into the glass of water that sat on the edge of his desk, surrounded by papers, he jumped down onto the floor below. A barely audible thump sounded, his black haori fluttered.
"Send word to Boshi-san immediately," he ordered, twirling his pipe through his small hand before placing it into the inner pocket of his kimono. "We will be activating 'Operation: Juggernaut' soon, and I will need a report on his progress. In the mean time, construct a team. We need to gather intel on the these 'Bijūtsukai' as well as the remaining bijū themselves."
