"Well you know the old saying, that you should never wake a sleeping dragon, for if you do he will utterly destroy you", said Jiraiya to which the others nodded to knowing the old saying.
"Well the saying can be said for him in away, where if anyone is stupid enough to challenge or anger Zhuge Liang then he with completely and utterly destroy you leaving no trace of you left on the earth", spoke Jiraiya, which caused many of the Konoha Eleven to look on worriedly at Zhuge Liang as he, The Raikage and the others came closer to them.
"Troublesome", said Shikamaru, "So if this guy was just a Ronin Ninja, who wasn't with any Shinobi village or Clan and wasn't interested in joining any of them. Then how did New Kumo get him to join them?"
"That's the million ryo question", said Jiraiya, as he then looked over at Mitsuhide and Saiyuri. "Those two must be Kumo no Shirotaka (White Falcon of Cloud) and Shinkukiri no Kumo (Cloud's Crimson Mist). As they match the description I got about them. Not to mention their aliases are kinds of a giveaway considering their abilities" thought Jiraiya as he was familiar with both their reputations both from being with Kiri and now with New Kumo.
When The Raikage neared the Konoha group, where like with the Konoha Eleven and their Sensei's at the battle of Wave, Tsuande, Jiraiya and the others there could practically feel the aura of dominate authoritative power coming from The Raikage which he was become infamous for which made nearly made everyone submissive to his presence. Both Jiraiya and Tsunade along with the Shinobi Elders had to fight hard to fight the submissive urges they were having from The Raikage and to remain unaffected to it. As he came closer they could also feel the powerful essence about him which Kakashi, Kurenai and the others descried which made everyone around him, including Tsunade, Jiraiya and the Shinobi Elders feel a combination of fear and respect for The Raikage.
"Damn!...so this is The Raikage now I see what Kakashi and the brats where talking about", thought Jiraiya as he fought of the urge to shiver slightly in The Raikage presence as he had never felt anything like it before. It was made even worse when he looked into The Raikage's cold but bright Blue eyes that seemed so familiar to him and reminding him of someone, yet as he looked in them he could feel the intensity and power of The Raikage from them.
"On behave of Konoha and its people and would like to greet you Raikage-san to our humble village, it is an honour to have you here and to finally meet you in person. I would like to thank you for accepting our invitation for talks for a possible Alliance between your village and the Heavenly Alliance with our own. I would also like to thank you myself for saving our Shinobi's during your attack on the Hold and for saving our Shinobi's again at Nami no Kuni, even though I know that that it was simply because they were in a situation that just happened to concern you", spoke Tsunade respectfully.
"You're welcome Hokage-san and I was pleased to receive your invitation as the Heavenly Alliance is always pleased to have new members or allies joining it", spoke The Raikage respectfully
"I'm pleased to hear this", said Tsunade "Although we were surprised that we agreed to visit us here in our home village and the way came here", where Tsunade the looked up at the Raikage airship.
"Ah…yes, well I thought it best that we have these talk soon due to your War and thought it best you stay in you village in case your enemies tried to assassinate you, when your left your village to meet me in a neutral location. Also travelling by airship to here was much faster than walking here and more secure", replied The Raikage.
"Then I thank you for your consideration to our plight", replied Tsunade.
The Raikage nodded, before her turned to his companions, "As many of you may already be familiar with. Allow me to introduce you to my companions, my personal bodyguards Nii Yugito an-"said The Raikage, but before he could finish speaking he was interrupted by Killer Bee.
"I float like a butterfly. And sting like a bee! I Killer Bee and I'm here to say th-oof!" spoke Killer Bee before Yugito bashed him on his head causing a very large lump to appear on his head.
"Shut it you idiot, this isn't time or the place for your stupid bad rhymes", said Yugito angrily.
"Don't hate the player hate the game", replied Killer Bee, but wisely shut up when he saw the glare Yugito gave him. All the while everyone around them had large sweat drops on the back of their heads at the antics of the two, while The Raikage just chuckled as he was use to all this and it always made him laugh.
"Please forgive Bee-san he sometimes gets carried away when he introduces himself to people" said the amused Raikage.
"That quite all right Raikage-san there are certain Shinobi's here that are like that as well", said Tsunade as she thought how Lee and Gai act at times.
The Raikage just nodded before he turned to the others in his group, "Now then, as I was saying, allow me to also introduce you to my Sensei's who some of your Shinobi's would be familiar with. Akechi Mitsuhide and Miyoshi Saiyuri and my other Sensei Zhuge Liang, who I believe you and Jiraiya-san are already acquitted with Hokage-san", spoke The Raikage
This revelation of courses shocked many of the Konaha group; The Raikage was the student of two High ranked Kiri missing-nins and the student of the legendary Nemuriryu.
"Now it makes sense why Zhuge Liang joined New Kumo, his student is The Raikage and he must have somehow convinced Zhuge Liang to join him", thought Jiraiya. Not to mention it answered his questioned who designed the large scale Kyūin (Absorption Seal), since he doubted that the other two could have designed it. As only a master sealer on the level of himself or higher level master would be able to create something like that.
"Greeting Tsunade-san and Jiraiya-san it has been many years, you are both looking well I see", spoke Zhuge Liang in a polite tone of voice.
"Same can be said for you Zhuge Liang, it is good to see you as well, you have grown quite a bit since we last saw you", said Jiraiya with a smile.
"Thank you", said Zhuge Liang.
After which The Raikage greeted most of the Konoha Eleven in the similar manner that he had greeted them at Nami no Kuni. Once he had greeted them Tsunade, introduced the Shinobi Elders, where The Raikage greeted them neutrally, but still with some small respect.
After the Introductions were all done, Tsunade suggested that they go to the Council room and began the possible Alliance talks, which The Raikage agreed to, where he Yugito, Bee, Zhuge Liang, Mitsuhide, Saiyuri and the two STORM teams accompanied the Konoha party to the Council room in the Hokage tower.
As the Groups head off the Sky Hawk Ninja's along with several other Kumo Shinobi's who were also on the Airship took up guarded position around the airships. Also at the same time on the other side of the airship directly behind the ramp and doorway of the airship, Four Kumo BOLT-nin's, wearing their Black and Red ANBU masks passed right through the metal walls of the side of the airship. Where they then quickly disappeared before anyone could see them.
-In the Konoha Council Room-
The trip to the Council room was uneventful for The Raikage and his entourage, that is if you don't count the large numbers of Konoha Shinobi's, from Genin to Jonin and Konoha Civilians from Child to the Adult. Who had been lining up to see the famed Raikage aka Kami no Raiden (God of Thunder and Lightning) and get a look at him and his entourage.
