Back to where she had started. It was like she was coming full circle now. Any place in Konoha offered nothing but painful reminders that the one person she wanted here with her was no longer here. Gone forever out of her reach while she was left behind to loiter in the unforgiving world on her own... Until I change that. She promised herself, her inner dialogue cryptic. Jae had picked her way back to this location, not by choice, but because something important to the village was to occur in the presence of the Hokage who was stepping down to pass the torch on to another pitiful soul. Had she been her normal self she would have burst into laughter, amused with the situation but her empty expression now clearly defined that she wasn't her normal self. The aura around her was dark. Purple smudges underneath her eyes, pale features, haunted expression, it was clear she was ill. Physically and mentally. The small black bag she had on her contained the remaining possessions she had left to her and the added weight of the small box that had been gifted to her by Samuru's mother. The wooden box with the branded S would remain locked forever. Jae knew that whatever was inside the box pertained to Samuru. The same Samuru that had been burned to nothing but charred remains at the foot of the gates to Konoha.
Closing her eyes she hugged herself, as if that would keep the pain from spilling out of her. She looked as weak and fragile as she felt in that moment, comforting herself in silence. Opening her eyes again she focused her gaze on nothing in particular. Sweeping her gaze from area to area she found a place to take a seat and did so. Out of the way she stayed put, waiting for other's to make their appearance. All she wanted to do was do what was required of her and ask for the riskiest mission she could get her hands on. One that had a high possibility of pain and even death. Was Jae masochistic? By no means did she like pain but it was welcomed at this juncture of her mourning. Her body was numb to anything but pain and it was welcomed openly by the pink haired kunoichi. So many people were already here, she duly noted. Their voices were a conglomerated drone in her head. It made her feel weary and tired being here. She took even breaths from her mouth. In and out.

Looking around and seeing everyone while still waiting on some, Luciano realized that he should learned more jutsu before things got really started."Hey ill be back I'm going to be out real quick". With that Luciano walked out the Hokage's Office hoping to be back before anything major happens

Noctis watched as the room filled with people."Now it seems we have enough here, and I have waited long enough."He looked at everyone in each and every room."Now,decide."His gaze fell upon Masuro."I personally vote Masaru Uchiha to be the next Hokage."

Icy blue orbs flickered over toward the speaker who had broken the silence to start the reasoning in which they had all been summoned here. It was the first and possibly the last time in this moment that Jae would focus on anyone in particular, however fleeting her glance was. Looking away slowly, Jae focused on a small spot in front of her. The Kunoichi's concentration in that one location was intense. Masaru... He had been one of the other shinobi by the gates. Up until the point where s**t had hit the rasengan, Masaru had been very collected despite his lower rank. He had gone toe to toe with the danger at the gates and had handled himself amicably. That type of courage deserved respect but it also hinted at the possibility that the shinobi could end up getting ahead of himself with power and status. Giving him this responsibility so soon could not only ruin the shinobi but could endanger the village...Her thought process stopped suddenly, Jae furrowing her eyebrows together. Why do I even care...? Samuru died protecting this place. A village he didnt even care about. Keeping her gaze down, her small voice cut in to cast her vote. "Masaru Uchiha has my vote..." Yes. This village had done nothing for her. The little she had owed it she had paid in full. Now there was nothing left in her to even tie her here, aside from her mother; who was also another refugee. Konoha no longer felt like home. All she wanted was time to seek out revenge. If in the process she was terminated, so be it. She would happily go. Until then she would bide her time doing risky missions. Hopefully Masaru would understand her logic. He had been there. He had seen. He knew who Samuru was. It was her hope, the only hope she had left.
As Luciano clone walked back though the doors of the Hokage's Office, The clone figured he was just in time, Hearing the first two vote, Luciano clone wondered how good this Masaru guy was, Earlier the real Luciano had read his Chakra pool and he didnt have the highest but that must mean that he cared for his Village more and must be more stronger, someone that Luciano would be able to admire. " Well I guess I should hop on board then so this can be over with, besides he cant be too bad if the Hokage himself voted for him". Looking at the rest of the people in the room, the clone figure he might as well out his vote in now."I vote for Masaru Uchiha as well". With his vote in all the clone could do was wait till it was over, for that the clone stood against the wall.
+ 1 Masaru

『XXXXXAppearing in a swirl of black leaves outside of the Hokage's office Kansuke gave a soft sigh, knowing that the moment he entered this room he'd have to deal with everyone at once. Shaking his head in annoyance the red-haired Jounin pushed open the door before stuffing his hands in his pockets, striding forward slowly as he did so. He honestly didn't want to remain there for too long, he had other things he needed to do; such as train and master the current techniques he had. Hearing the various people give their votes to Masaru he merely assumed that the boy put himself forward as a candidate. With that thought in mind he leaned against the wall nearest to him, allowing his piercing, apathetic crimson eyes to shift over the group briefly before speaking in his usual emotionless voice. "...It seems that everyone is voting for you nephew...I shall do the same. Do not betray the trust that you have from everyone. " He himself trusted his nephew despite the boys dislike of Kansuke, so he knew Masaru would end up doing good with the position...or at least do better than anyone else that would have put themselves forward as a potential candidate. Why waste his time dealing with the weak willed shinobi who would consider the position when he knew the boy could do the job properly? In his mind there was no reason to do just that, so with that thought in mind he fell silent; closing his eyes before crossing his arms over his bare chest. With all that had happened with the cultists and the kyuubi what had remained of his shirt was destroyed, leaving his well toned torso for all to see. He would remain like that until allowed to leave formally, since they technically weren't done with the whole voting situation that was going on.

☦ As the voting for a new hokage went on her older brother seemed to be set on his decision. He no longer wanted to be hokage but for what reason exactly? Did this mean he was going to leave the village as well? As he stated his vote she sighed softly. She didn't know anyone of the village and didn't want to vote for people she didn't know. Something began to fee odd with her own body as she leaned in to hug him. Unsure if this was his goodbye or not but just in case she hugged him in front of others. Something that she never would have done before. With a simple hand sign her clone disappeared not wanting to vote at all. ✯
" The Uchiha seems to be rather popular. Lets see what he can do then, He has my vote...Noctis, after the business here has concluded I would like a word in private if possible. Theres still the matter of the information you have yet to pass over..."She said quietly from her spot in the room. Her tail swayed side to side briefly before coming to a rest behind her. She was just being really quiet for some reason. Yet another well known individual to her was changing. She didn't care for change.

Shikatsu listened carefully. He didn't know much about this guy to give a vote but... "Noctis, I've known you sense we started this journey many years ago. I've suck by you and followed every decision you've made. If you think this Uchiha is right for your position, then he has my vote. Based on your choice alone, but we'll see what the future holds for him if he is chosen." He said as if he were unsure about his vote. Not just for who would be coming in to office, but for whom would be leaving as well.
"Your life is to short, so don't go throwing it away so easily."
Slowly and silently walking up the stairs to the Hokage's office, he could hear distant chattering beyond the door. He was informed earlier about the Hokage resigning from his position, and now every available citizen of Konoha should meet in the office to vote for the next Hokage. He knew for certain that the place would be fairly crowded, and judging by the multitude of voices in the room, he was correct. Facing the partially opened door, his figure was hidden in the shadow cast by the light inside of the Hokage's office, allowing his soft, alluring eyes to scan the room from his current point of view. There were several shinobi in the office, including Kansuke, Masaru, and the Hokage himself. It has been too long, since he last saw Masaru, practically disappearing after graduating from the academy, not even letting his brother know of his whereabouts. He didn't want to explain, as it was a very long story, but Izuma knew he had to face Masaru eventually, and what better time then now? Hearing Kansuke speak, it would seem the voting had already started, and Masaru was winning the election, the following votes afterward, which were in favor for Masaru only proved that. A soft smile grew upon his lips. He was glad to hear his brother would become Hokage, and he wouldn't want it any other way. If anyone would be able to claim the position, it was surely Masaru.
Izuma opened the door the rest of the way, letting his appearance be known to all. The smile was gone, replaced with a calm, emotionless expression, yet the softness in his eyes was still present. With a humble bow, silently greeting everyone in the room at the same time, he walked over to his brother; soon to be the Hokage. He stood beside him, listening to the final words of the orange-haired shinobi. Everyone seemed to be content with their choices, as he glanced around the office, studying each individual face for any signs of regret. There was none. Good. He turned to his brother, though not one to smile in public very often, he would have a look in his eyes, that could only express how proud he was of Masaru. The room suddenly grew silent, which meant that everyone else in the room had already cast their votes, and from the previous votes that he was able to hear, Izuma could only guess that the others were for Masaru as well. Turning to Noctis, he slowly nodded his head, his eyes glancing over to Masaru, before falling back on the Shinsetsu, silently casting his vote. For some, it should have been obvious who he would vote for, at least for those who knew of their relation to each other. Leaning against the wall, he laid a hand on his brother's shoulder while the other removed a few strands of hair from his face, waiting for this voting session to come to an end.
✘XXXXXMasaru would watch as the room slowly filled with more people that came to the discussion, a wide variety of shinobi, some of which he hadn't even seen before which surprised the male because he knew most of the village. Masaru would return everyone's pleasantries with a smile and a nod. After the room was practically brimming with people, it would seem one would leave because he had forgotten something, or that was what Masaru guessed. About that time it would seem that Noctis was done waiting and figured that there was a suitable populace of the shinobi in the village present. Fixing his gaze on Noctis, it would seem that the time had come to put forth the votes, and Noctis would prove it by starting the voting process by placing his on Masaru which took the male a bit by surprise, causing a single eyebrow to be raised out of curiosity. It surely was unexpected for he figured it would be one of the older shinobi or higher ranking shinobi at that, but nonetheless, he showed his appreciation via a slight bow. Next a small voice would break the silence, a voice who he was familiar with to an extent, but not of this tone. Turning his onyx orbs onto the origin of the voice, it would confirm his thoughts in that it was Jae who had cast her vote for him. He knew what she was going through, and he knew it was best to deal with her problem alone, and also knew what she was probably wanting out of it. Of course he wouldn't deny her of such actions if requested; she was surely capable of completing them. Following her vote the door would open once more and the male from before would return just in time to cast his vote, which was surprisingly for Masaru as well.
✘XXXXXIt was then that the door would open again and another familiar person would walk into the room. Masaru's gaze would turn to face the redheaded man which he knew as his uncle and would offer him a smile and a slight wave. He figured the male would of been training somewhere and would have avoided the crowed room since he didn't care much for people. It was then that his voice broke the newborn silence that had fallen over the room, a voice that was emotionless, cold, and all to well natural for Kansuke. At the man's words, Masaru would nod and bow again in thanks for the vote and also to say that he wouldn't betray his foundations. The next movement in the room however came from Ayane, Noctis' sister who had abstained from voting and simple just left. The next person to speak up was a woman who also had cat ears and a tail, one he had seen at the academy before for a few brief moments, and also at the gates during the attack. He would silently thank the woman for her vote as she went on to speak to Noctis about needed him for a private discussion.
✘XXXXXAfter Taka came the Nara he had met at the Mansion when the attack first began when he was evacuating the village to the Monument. Now that he thought on the subject, where was the blue haired male he had kicked that was asleep? Oh well, he must of been asleep somewhere and missed the announcement. The Nara started his speech referring to how he knew Noctis for quite some time and how he has always followed him, then went on to vote for Masaru, ending with how he didn't think he was fully qualified it seemed. He didn't blame the Nara for what did he know of Masaru's abilities? At that moment the door would make a small creak as it was pushed open, drawing the attention of Masaru to the source of the sound to see who was entering this late into the voting process. Upon seeing the figure, the Uchiha's eyes widened slightly and he took a slight step back. How was he here? Masaru had looked everywhere for his brother, scanned the entire village high and low, even going as far as searching through the vasts forests, but here he was, without a scratch, as if nothing had ever happened. After swallowing a knot in his throat, he would stand back straight and turn to face Noctis, but would meet with Izuma's gaze before doing so, his look portraying that they need to talk after this was over. It would seem that the voting had came to an end as no-one was left to vote, except Masaru, and nobody else seemed to be coming from the lack of sounds down the hall. Bringing a hand to clear his throat, Masaru would step over to the wall on the left and turn to face everyone in the room before clearing his throat and beginning to speak, his dark and cold, yet soft voice would easily carry throughout the room, "To start off, I would like to thank each and every one of you for voting for me, and I would like you to know that I will do my best to live up to your expectations. On my way here, I had originally thought about nominating myself for the position, but decided against it had chose to abstain from voting, because I simply didn't know who to vote for. I am glad to see that you all have your trust in me and believe I can fulfill my duties accordingly." The young Uchiha male would properly bow to everybody and thank them personally for their votes and their trust in him. After doing so, he would turn to Noctis and bow once more, honoring and respecting the man for what he had done for the village, and what he had accomplished in his reign.

Now the voices rang out one after the other, each casting their vote for Masaru. Any other time she would have paid closer attention to the dynamics of the politics going on but she didn't have the heart for it at the moment. Instead of just leaving the room she was waiting for the opportunity to seek audience with the new Kage. She needed to do something and soon, lest she explode out of her skin. Letting her arms fall to her sides, Jae looked rather uncomfortable. There were many people present now and she was slightly more aware of the room now. Red hair at the corner of her peripheral caused her to turn her head slightly. For an instant she had thought she would see her father standing there but instead was looking at Masaru's self proclaimed uncle. No one had hair as red as her father had but the Uchiha seemed to match it tone for tone. Looking away she fidgeted, crossing her legs over the other and then uncrossing them after a short period of time. It was Masaru's speech that stilled her for a second. Her gaze lit upon his form for a second as he spoke about having wanted to nominate himself and changing his mind to not voting at all due to indecisiveness. The bird sages brows furrowed slightly, not impressed with his response. It was a very vain thing to say and he probably should have not admitted a loud for all to take note of. Unease stirred in her belly but was quickly replaced with the empty void she was growing accustomed to. Jae no longer had the patience to wait. "Speeches are good and all but... what do we do now?" Her tone was clipped, her expression smooth despite her edge. She was sure she was not the only one eager to be moving on. Taka herself was already motioning to claim something owed to her. Another unknown shinobi had exited to the training grounds earlier as well. Standing around and addressing formalities was a waste of time.
Hearing everyones vote, Luciano assume that the voting was done, especially with Masaru thanking everyone who voted for him basically announcing that he is the new Sandaime or Yondaime Hokage. After the Pink haired girl had asked Masaru a serious question of what are we to do now, Luciano figured with all that he knew of what happen with Konohagakure getting attacked and all that we train and work to establish a strong nation and get things cleaned up that Konoha should eventually become strong enough to be the strongest out of any village.
"The Hokage should organize sometime that would benefit not only the village but himself, we dont have much shinobi in our village as of right now and the ANBU isnt really doing much". Luciano began to think and think about her question some more. "I wonder how this could also benefit me". Luciano always had wanted to be a ANBU but better and stronger to where the Hokage would need him more and where he could help the village more. "How can it happen". Luciano didnt even know the Masaru but with him being the hokage that meant he would have to protect him protect the village. Rubbing his chin while thinking, the clone was only thinking what was on Luciano's mind. Luciano himself was for anything, as long as in wasnt foolish. Who knew what Masaru was thinking of doing with Konoha but what ever it was Luciano wanted to be of use one way or another thats why he was at the Academy now instead of being here, that was to be a powerful enough genin so that when it came to prove his worth, then there would be no problem doing so. "Sigh can this be wrapped up, he still hasnt recieved his head band yet".

Taka turned her head slightly to Jae and spoke" The same thing we always do...Take missions to earn a bit of heft to our pockets, and sit on our collective asses waiting for the next thing to attack us. I doubt that was the last attack we will have. Come to think of it this is the second cult to hit us in a years time isnt it? "She said speaking of the attack that happened previous with the disappearances of the villagers and the beast's hidden under konoha. She shivered in remembrance of the entire ordeal. She only turned her head enough for noctis to just remain in her peripherals. When he left, she would tail him until she got what she needed from the man. Information, as well as that 20 ryo he owed her.

Shiorei stood outside the Hokage's building. He looked up at the intimidating structure. He could sense it to be crowded. He let out a sigh. He hated crowds. Last thing he need was awkward small talk and idle chit-chat, but what was to be expected with the Hokageship changing hands. Still unaware of who exactly he was suppose to talk to. He took a big breath before walking the hollowed halls.
He could he voices as he drew near. He waited just outside the doors. Feeling around to see what was in the room. He wanted to know who had one before he said anything stupid and ruined the Senju no Mori name before he had a chance to establish over the Senju in Konoha. He kept his back to wall and waited for the moment to jump in. To show up his big brother by taking the first true step into world of the Hidden Village.
"We shall flood the land to wash away the living... We shall salt the earth so nothing can grow... Only then will they realize the error in their ways... Only then will they learn to fear and respect... Mori no Senju Ichizoku again..."
