Conversing Shadows

In the midst of an era of peace, the five Kage have temporarily halted the development of their villages to discuss Kirigakure's current situation!

Act One - The Summit
The Land of Iron is a cold country, decorated with delicate snow flurries and howling winds. It is a place of neutrality, where the five Kage can calmly discuss their issues without threat to their own offices. It was a great setting for such a conversation to occur. The room was large, but heated to insure the leaders would be warm. They each had a place at the table, even additional spots for the villages that were increasing in status and power.

The Tenth Hokage, a man of calm nature, sipped a cup of tea and admired it's taste before speaking. "Ah. Good morning to you all. I'd like to officially state this meeting has began. Let's move onto the most important topic. Mizukage." He said to attract the woman's attention. "It is rumored that you were responsible for the death of the former . While it's important that we don't act based off of assumptions, we have reason to say that this could be the truth. Any words?"

The relatively new Mizukage sat calmly in her designated chair, her right leg crossed over her left as she turned her head slightly, gazing at the Hokage. "I was 100% responsible for the death of Chojurō, the fifth Mizukage, as well as the entire Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist that attempt to prevent me from confronting him." the kunoichi stated to the Hokage, not beating around the bush in the slightest. "I didn't show any of them mercy for the genocidal atrocities they committed. If not for me, it would have continued for ten more years, seeing as none of the previous kage or the current ones attempted to stop him." she added, looking at the other kage before returning her gaze to the Hokage. "Do you have any additional questions, Tenth?"

The Hokage's demeanor was unreadable. He merely chuckled. "You do realize that makes you a criminal? you killed a man in cold blood and not only that, slaughtered those who could have been beneficial to you. At the same time, I suppose you had good intentions. Hmm. It can't be helped. My suggestion is this, Mizukage: lead your village away from the days of the bloody mist. It's nothing but a stain that needs to be scrubbed free. That's all I must say about that. Any other opinions?" he asked the other leaders before continuing to sip his tea.
