"Naturally," said the Hokage in a dry voice.
"Once I arrived," said the Fire Daimyo. "I met a few of these catgirls very soon."
"Of course," said the Hokage, even drier in tone.
"So when can I see it?" asked the Fire Daimyo.
"See what?" asked the Hokage, dreading the answer.
The Fire Daimyo blinked once, then inclined his head slightly. "Why - the boy's summoning of course."
three days later:
"Fascinating," said the Wind Daimyo.
"I thought so too, truly fascinating," said the Fire Daimyo.
"This is what you thought was so..." the Earth Daimyo said.
"It could be a genjutsu," said one of the Earth Daimyo's bodyguards. After being bapped on the side of the head by one of his fellows, he simply muttered under his breath instead.
"Oh, I just invited you to see this," said the Fire Daimyo. "I personally thought it was QUITE interesting. He manages to summon people who are certain to die without his assistance, so naturally he wants to just summon up all the time. You can imagine the problems that would cause."
"Quite," said the Water Daimyo.
"Indeed," said the Claw Daimyo, staring.
"So, you can understand the delicacy of my position," said the Fire Daimyo. "Naturally, in order to maintain good relations with my neighbors and associates, I had to at least extend an invitation to observe this."
The Claw Daimyo watched as one of the rabbit-eared girls saw him watching, and smirked at him as she walked away in a particularly sensuous manner. "Ai carumba."
"I think I remember her, wasn't she an entertainer..." mused the Earth Daimyo. Ah, Ai Karumaba, what a saucy wench SHE had been. Huh. Yeah, she DID kind of resemble that rabbit-girl.
"So what are these..." the Wind Daimyo thought about what to call them. They were clearly not completely human, but they were also close to human in appearance.
"The catlike ones are called Miqo'te, the rabbitty ones are called Viera, the ones with the long ears are called 'elves'..." The Fire Daimyo paused.
"The dark one with the white hair trying to strangle the pale skinned one with the blonde hair is of the same species?" asked the Water Daimyo.
"Exactly," said the Fire Daimyo. "Entirely different racial group though, sort of like Lightning Country when compared to Water Country."
"Oh darn, your ANBU is interrupting," said the Claw Daimyo.
"What can I say," said the Fire Daimyo, snapping his fan out. "I suspect that the ninja forces are going to be quite interesting this year. Though that isn't what I wanted to suggest today now that you've all shown up."
"I got it already," said the Claw Daimyo. "Refugees like this can flood your infrastructure, strain your economy."
"So... I see," said the Water Daimyo.
"Right, so I thought you'd all want to see why we're permanently sealing off the scroll the boy uses for the summoning," admitted the Fire Daimyo. "Such an ability, used recklessly, can overwhelm any one country."
Kiba sulked on the way to school. "Catgirls. Why catgirls. Couldn't we get DOG-girls?"
"Excuse me," said a wolf-girl as she bounded down the street.
Kiba stopped, opened his mouth, blinked repeatedly.
"Arf," said Akamaru, sniffing the air.
"What was I saying?" Kiba said with a grin fitting itself into place. "I was saying, this is gonna be a GREAT day! Right, Akamaru?"
"Arf," agreed Akamaru.
Sasuke tuned out the usual annoying comments from the fangirls. It was just the usual stuff all the time anyway.
"He's so cool!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"You forgot talented."
Sasuke shook his head slightly.
"...he really does need better clothes."
Sasuke frowned. What was wrong with his clothes?
"Yeah, orange doesn't do a thing for him."
Sasuke blinked and slowly looked towards the fangirls.
There were... two catgirls, an elf, another elf, a bunnygirl, and a - what the heck?!
"What the heck?" asked Sakura as she realized someone was sitting next to Sasuke. "Hey you! Move it!"
"No way," said the girl in question, leaning back and putting her feet on the desk.
"That's my seat, I get to sit next to Sasuke," said Sakura.
"Says WHO, Forehead?!" demanded Ino.
"Pfeh, Sasuke? Oh, broody?" The girl's ears flicked as she considered him for a moment, then back to Sakura. "Tough. You're name isn't on the seat."
Sasuke blinked. Had he just been summed up as 'broody'?
"And what's with this costume?" asked Sakura, reaching out and grabbing a tail and giving it a good yank.
Sasuke's eyes widened at the sudden spike of killing intent.
