Outskirts
Far south of Kogyo, past the Rogue Village, in the heart of the Outskirts Hyuuga, Riojin entered a small building with haste. As he entered and shut the door behind him he said "I take it you have heard the news... I am sure you are furious..."
He was cut off by the being within the building;
"Furious is not even fitting for the amount of rage I feel right now Riojin. The Basaka not only have been found out, but set free!? I ignored the Wind Daimyo's clear intention of bringing the Ameji Clan to bolster his forces, but the Fire Daimyo to actively move on our slaves and house them within their walls? Very well. It seems our little politicians have grown a backbone. We will now start to be more aggressive..."
A pause lingered as Riojin examined the man he recognized as his leader. He would not interrupt the mans train of thought, just wait for him to continue with his point. The leader, knowledgeable and appreciative of Riojin's ways, stood up and continued to say;
"Send two Under-bosses to Kogyo Village. Escort them as well if you wish. We are taking over the mines and cutting off supply if they do not pay double. The leader of Kogyo will be on board with our wishes before their arrival."
Riojin Hyuuga nodded and said "Two under-bosses should be well... I suspect knowledge of our physical placement in Kogyo will draw... greedy fools who wish to test us."
The leader nodded and cracked a smirk "I am counting on it. Kill whoever asks for it... if you run into a Basaka, have it enslaved for further tests. If you can't enslave it, kill it and anyone trying to protect it."
Riojin chuckled "You really don't see them as humans do you."
"Monsters, best on a leash." The other responded. Riojin nodded without rebuttal.

Fire Country
The streets buzzed with word the the Fire Daimyo called for all shinobi, civilians, and members of his council to gather in the northern territory. As the masses gather they witness what looked like a group of malnourished individuals in fresh clothes with disgruntled faces.
The Fire Daimyo stepped into the scene and addressed the village.
"Much has happened over the years my friends, family, and even those of you who would secretly be my enemy." He smiled, confident in his position and his knowledge of those before him.
"We Daimyo have the unfortunate position of being seen as figures that do very little, mostly because ignorance and lack of information promotes false truths and lies. Today however, my actions will change the village forever. 400 years ago many clans bound together, recognizing the strength in many versus the strength in few. From that countries were born. Today I ask you to welcome a new clan into our ranks."
The Daimyo motioned towards the battered group everyone saw walking up.
"These resilient men, women, and children are known as the Basaka Clan. They are not like normal shinobi in that they wield no elemental proficiency.... they are born with what some might know as natural chakra."
Murmurs and whispers picked up and the Daimyo waved everyone into silence.
"However... their amazing gift also is a curse. For as they use their powers they are subject to go on rampages. Their power too great to contain. This is why for the last 20 or so years they have been slaves to the infamous organization we heard of in the south, the Ketsueki. They have been enslaved, tested on, killed, and everything in between. Upon gaining knowledge of this I initiated a special operations unit to go and break them free. In return, they have asked to be one with us as their home no longer exists. I... have choosen to accept these beings into our ranks. I intend for us to all work together to rid the world of the Ketsueki and all who support these horrid beings that walk in our world. With the addition of the Basaka clan, I ask that our leaders and commanders be mindful of their outbursts. Be understanding, caring, and let us build a force together than can not be stopped!"
