Meeting in the Shadows

Summons from a Kage
Ryun sat at his desk, admiring the stacks of paperwork that had piled up since the beginning of the war only days prior. Most were reports from the teams in the field, reporting about objectives and giving their updates. Others were requests for reinforcements or new supplies. And yet others were intelligence reports on enemy troop movements. For all the power the legendary Uchiha was supposed to possess, his weakness to doing paperwork would be apparent to anyone who happened to be summoned to his office; such was the occasion of the day. Sliding out from behind his chair, Ryun stood, stretched, and pushed his desk chair in so that he could turn and look out the window directly behind him, which gave him a panoramic view of the village. Storm clouds were festering above the beautiful village that he had founded; the village that once again found itself at war.

He had sent for Isako, a very important member of his village. Important because she was a jinchūriki from the village — one of three, himself included. Jinchūriki were of tantamount importance to a country's war-effort because of their tremendous power and unique abilities. One of Yamagakure's jinchūriki was already on the battlefield, and doing quite well if recent reports were to be believed. Now it was time to assess the second jinchūriki; the one who housed the One-Tail. Another piece on the chest board of war.
