You may plainly perceive the traitor through his mask; he is well-known everywhere in his true colors;K A L I H I M I T S Uhis rolling eyes and his honeyed tones impose only on those who do not know him.
Kali read the letter for the tenth time within the span of thirty minutes, once again noting the handwriting, the crossed out words, and the overall tone of the letter. This was normal for the Mizukage for she was the woman who had made it known to the other villages that people wouldn't be turned away from the village unless she was to receive a letter detailing their reasoning for visiting. All foreigners had to do this for she appreciated knowing who entered her village, it didn't matter if the person was a Shinobi or a civilian, they were all treated the same. Only people exempt from this rule were her own people, though her shinobi were required to inform her of their departure if they were going to be outside of the village for more than three days. It was a policy generally followed, but there were a few people who choose to ignore it, and these people were turned away from her village.
But such things didn't matter since this Kaseki had decided to send her a letter, one that didn't really tell her of his reason for wanting to come, but did tell her that he was a former shinobi of the country and had possession of Kirigakure artifacts. It was information that was certainly nice to know, and even intrigued the Mizukage, so much so that she considered welcoming him with open arms. There was just one glaring detail that prevented that, the writer was a missing shinobi and she didn't allow such people within the confines of her village. Kali had thought about making an exception for this man, she assumed the writer was a man by name alone, but thought better of it. She leaned back in her chair upon placing the letter upon her desk, thinking about the options she had, and would straighten herself upon coming to a decision.
She opened a drawer, retrieving a piece of paper and placing it beside the letter, closing the drawer softly before she took up the pen that sat on her desk. Swiftly she wrote her response to the sender, and upon completion, would attach the letter to the leg of a carrier pigeon, sending it to Suna. The letter read:
Dear Kaseki,
I thank you for sending me plans of your arrival before you proceeded with making your way to the village. Though I am very much intrigued, I simply cannot allow myself to potentially put the village and my people in danger, your motives unclear and potentially harmful. I do hope that you can understand that with your status as a missing shinobi that Kirigakure no Sato shall not welcome you within it's walls. So do not waste your time traveling to the village, for you shall be turned away. With that being said, I shall reiterate that I do appreciate the letter, but you are not welcome within the village.
From,
The Mizukage.
