It is the grand opening of the Fantasia Festival; to celebrate a decennia of peace between the Shinobi Villages. Shinobi from all across the land have come to witness this great event, and weren’t disappointed: a grand display of Shockwave Village’s finest fireworks, the most luxurious liquor from the Forest and Hill Villages, exotic dancers from the Dust Village and various trinkets from the Volcano and Inferno Villages – truly, the Hill Village’s organizer of this event – Hisaki Akagi – would be a name that would carry on throughout the years. The spirit of co-operation was smiling on the Fantasia festival, and everywhere you turned there were people laughing, smiling, having fun. Even shinobi rarely seen in society came to the event to either help out in the spirit of peace, such as Vizier, or simply to enjoy the festival and the delights that came with it. It is true, some shinobi enjoyed themselves a little too much, as was the case with Yasei and Chikai, who were found fighting in one of the local taverns, drunkenly having started a full-on brawl over what their favourite colours were early on in the evening.



Alas, the joyous event took a horrible turn…

A scream of terror from Chikai Kamakiri was heard across the tent, and various shinobi rushed towards the scene to behold what caused the terror:

A freshly killed body; that of Kaeiro Kirishima, the Joker.

“We’ve got a murder! Bring Hisaki Akagi over here and notice the Kages!”, one of the Dust Shinobi -  Crono Sabaku – ordered.

As Hisaki arrived behind the tent, he said: “What’s going on!? I heard there was a –“, but before he could finish his sentence, Hisaki witnessed the horror.

“By the Beasts…” he uttered in despair. “… Who could’ve done this? Any word from the Kages?!”, Hisaki continued.

“We’ve just received word, Hisaki-san. The Forest and Hill Kages will each send their top ANBU here, and volunteer medics will be on standby for the rest of the event. The ANBU will investigate the situation.”, Crono replied.

“… Very well. You two, please take care of the body and notify the Inferno Village Kage.”, Hisaki ordered Crono and the other Dust Shinobi – Vizier.

“Understood!”, the two immediately replied.

And the murder was kept a secret from the rest of the Shinobi, except for those who witnessed the body. As the night became darker, and the fires burnt brightly in the middles of the tents, two shadows could almost be seen in the background, moving around… It would appear the ANBUs had arrived, and have mingled with the rest.

Was the murder just a coincidence, or are they going to be more? Is there merely one, or more culprits? Who knows…

Only time will tell…

A lot of thanks to @DarthTyrael for help on the story, he wrote a good deal of it! Give him +rep guys! (And me because... it's me, why wouldn't you +rep me? Also I did write a little of the story but give Darth some love, for real.)

It is now the day phase. Vote on who you want to kill. Please re-vote if you have voted in the night phase, to be clear.

@jcryer MOVE YOUR ASS

Spoiler: show

Unless of course you're preoccupied with real life matters. In that case, I sincerely apologise.

Um

I was working on storyline.

Do I have to kill you off?

The games have begun! PMs have been sent, it is night phase. ANBUs, Medics and Assassins, do your duties. Shinobi, sit tight.
