#hidden stone

Basically a spin off for the Madara & Akatsuki AU

Madara: Obito, the hidden rock is acting up again, shut them up

Obito: Would you mind being more concrete? You want me to warn them or annihilate them?

Madara: No need for genocide ..yet, it’s enough if you go and threaten them. Use my persona, that way the Tsuchikage would shit their pants when you say the name, no further efforts needed.

*timeskip, in Iwagakure*

Deidara: What a great surprise I got there! I barely left and you already missed me, hn? You came all the way along, only to see me after I left this morning for visiting my relatives here? Oh, you are the cutest, I told you I will be home at night, but you really can’t live without me hn?

Deidara: Might as well introduce you to my relatives huh? They going to be super jealous if they see what a pice of work my boyfriend is!

Obito, posing as Madara, while Onoki and the village leaders bowing down and crying for mercy:

Deidara, finally seeing the situation: Oh fu..ck. No. I just - cant… That’s it. Im going to blow myself up.

*After some days, in the Akatsuki hideout*

Uh oh! Some sneaky shinobi have broken into the forum, and ninjafied the place!

From a first glance, things will look the same - they were shinobi, after all!; but it seems like an intense battle has taken place, as they left behind some weapons in our emoji section, but not only the standard shuriken and kunai - the ANBU made an appearance, too, and there are some strange tags & bombs (where’s Iruka-sensei when you need him?!).

The shinobi haven’t come back for their weapons, so we’ve decided to keep them; and you can use them to your heart’s content!

We think the battle was more serious than just a spat, and that there is turmoil between the Great Five Nations, too, as we also found Hidden Village symbols in the emoji section, and five new badges (and thus, titles) where each of the nations are trying to recruit more shinobi on their side.

As we are a group for everyone, we aren’t siding with any nation in particular, and would like for you to choose for yourself, where your loyalties lie! Do you feel like you belong as a Leaf shinobi? Are you part of the Sand? Supporters of the Mist? Resonating with the Cloud? Or perhaps allied to Stone?

JACOB BOEHME

“The centre of mans soul came out of eternity”

Boehme taught that we human beings have a hidden essence within us that is God. A divine spark that remains within us looking to be found. “An immortal Dowry.” - “an inward Ground and unlost Possession.”

He talked of an “innermost Birth” that happens when we start the work of discovering this inward Dowry. I can’t help but think of the immortalized Latin inscription so common amongst alchemists:

“Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem”

Of course, Boehme and I are kindred spirits. My inner mystic will always side with those who see the connecting threads of philosophy and spiritual belief. Inner transformation has always been subjective to those of us who brave the journey within.
