[Locked from the Akatsuki and Sound shinobi]

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

To the members of this community,

The threat has been averted. The seal holding Shukaku is still in place, and the people guarding his confinement have increased their vigilant watch over him. Unfortunately, he still retains his Internet access to this community, and I can only repeat my warning for all of you to refrain from communicating with that tenacious beast.

I'm sorry for not informing everyone of the status until this moment. Since my return to Konoha, I have been assisting the Lady Hokage with a number of tasks pertaining to our villages.

To those of you that provided your support to the Lady Hokage and myself, we would like to express our gratitude to you all.

Should any of you need assistance in the future, Suna's forces will be at your disposal.

I plan to remain in Konoha until a few critical issues have been resolved.

Signed,
Gaara of the Desert

Temari and Matsuri were a great help, so thank you for having them assist me. And should either see this, you both have my gratitude.

I haven't seen Jiraiya since you returned... did you ever meet up with him?

[locked]
There is something I'd like to discuss with you though.

Yes. I had to contend with Itachi Uchiha and Johnny for a while, but when Jiraiya showed up, he fought against Itachi while I detained Johnny.

All right. Would you like me to meet you somewhere?

Re: [Locked to Tsunade]

[passthesake.livejournal.com]

Hrm... I'll send him a message to come see me then.

No, we can discuss it here.

I honestly hope you know that you can't go running off alone after Shukaku every time something like this happens. You have a duty, first and foremost to your village and your people. They depend on you, and if you keep leaving when you feel the need to, you'll start coming off as unreliable. Beyond that, trying to go after Shukaku is, in every sense of the term, a suicide mission. You may be powerful and you may be able to manipulate sand, but you should know better than anyone that the damned demon is powerful, virtually made up of pure chakra, and can also control sand.

Um. I'm the "friend" Gaara mentioned in his last post. Though I think I've become a "critical issue", unsurprisingly. ((hackable))

I just want to say sorry for all the trouble I've caused. Matsuri, Temari, I'm sorry I made Gaara take off like that, and I'm sorry he was in danger because of my stupidity.

To everyone who helped Gaara...thanks. It probably doesn't mean much coming from me, but...if there's anyway to make up for this...well, I can't make promises yet, but I'd like to make it up. Have to find out what my punishment is first.

[Locked to Shania]

Gaara let me borrow his laptop, so I can still contact you. I'll let you know as soon as Tsunade decides what she's going to do with me.

...also, there's a pretty good chance people are going to start yelling at me. Don't get involved. Please.

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

...The Lady Hokage is displeased with me as well.

[ghostsnaps.livejournal.com]

...crap. Is it about the laptop?

[moeteru-burn.livejournal.com]

Glad to help. Felt good to get out. If you guys ever want to come visit, my apartment's open, just give me some warning ahead of time.

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your assistance, Kyo.

I would like to come see your world sometime. However, my position requires me to stay in Suna as much as possible. You are welcome to visit Suna, though, if you have the time.

[moeteru-burn.livejournal.com]

No probs.

I'll think about it, but with prep for the next KoF tournament, I'll be pretty busy.

[commensurable.livejournal.com]

Welcome back Gaara. No need to repeat your warning to me; That foul beast is grotesque and totally unsymmetrical, not to mention disgusting overall!

Consider taking a vacation after you get the rest of your business wrapped up, if it's feasible. It sounds like you need it. You don't want to throw your body out of balance.

....

[Locked to Gaara][/locked]

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

Unsymmetrical? *chuckles lightly* Well. That is your area of aggravation, I suppose.

Unfortunately, I doubt my council will allow me to leave Suna for a while. Not after they find out about this.

[Locked to Kidd]

What do you mean?

[Locked to Gaara]

[commensurable.livejournal.com]

I understand and sympathize; such is the burden of responsibility. Take it easy at least.

....My father sealed away something foul and incredibly powerful in the school's basement; a Kishin named Asura. Last Christmas there were, similarly, enemies and internal spies that tried to go break it free and we tried to stop them, but....

....the Kishin did escape in the end. My father couldn't even stop it.

[royalred-dagger.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so glad to hear that everything turned out all right - and that you and your friends are all right as well! I suppose it's a good thing that the airships weren't required after all, though my offer still stands should you ever need it. (Unfortunately, finding a world hopper who can transport ships will be difficult. My uncle may look into remedying this problem.)

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

I am relieved as well.

Thank you for your offer, Queen Garnet.

Was Jack unable to provide transportation for your airships?

[royalred-dagger.livejournal.com]

You are most welcome! Please, you can call me Dagger if you want.

I don't think it was quite within his abilities. The airships huge, so that's no surprise, though I do believe that there are members who would have that power.

It pleases me that this problem was so quickly resolved. What occurred, Gaara of the Desert?

[[Unless there's a post about it somewhere that I've missed!]]

[Locked to Mewtwo]

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

Mewtwo. Thank you for your support.

A great deal happened. I reached the location a few hours after I began my search. When I entered the cave, I was immediately engaged in battle against an S-class shinobi from the Akatsuki.

(OOC: There is a log describing what happened if you're interested in reading it? :D)

Re: [Locked to Mewtwo]

[createdpower.livejournal.com]

And you defeated them; well done. What came of "Johnny?"

((OoC: Sure! I must have missed you guys posting it or something!))

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

That's cool, amigo. But... a... what happened, eh?

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

A great deal, Jack. I feel rather weary at the moment.

What do you want to know?

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

Oh? Well prehaps a jog will do you some good, eh?

Well, whatever happened now.

[no-farewells.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad to see that you've returned, alive and healthy now anyway.

Make sure to keep it that way.

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

I will. Thank you, Rutee.

Your healing techniques are rather remarkable. Where did you learn them?

(OOC: I assume this post takes place after Rutee has already met and healed him? ^_^)

[aguyyoucantrust.livejournal.com]

... I only understood about half of that, pal, but if Shukaku's the same monster that commented on my first post, good for you for stopping him! That must've been a pretty tough job, huh?

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

Oh. I haven't seen you around the community for a while. Is everything all right?

I merely prevented him from escaping. He is not dead. Unfortunately.

...You have spoken to Shukaku before?
