Nanami tilts her head back and smiles
"Remember when I was releasing you from the Genjutsu? I promised to protect and stay at your side.." She notices Nori and smiles
"Lilies are flowers that usually depict, innocence, hope, love, purity.. Before we met, you had been in darkness for a long time.. So I am showing you what the light can offer." Her eyes find Nori again
"Yep, I figure an hour long concert with a set of six to seven songs. I have most of them planned out, but a few are still in the writing phase." She smiled
"Anyways I was giving Shiroma a tour of things while we put up the posters." Nanami smiled a bit
"You are welcome to join us if you wish?"
She then looks back to Shiroma
"We only have a few hours to get all of these up, before most of the stores and restaurants close." She moves to walk out of the store, she thanks the woman who was running it and bowed to the woman Nori was talking to. She holds open the door for Shiroma and Nori if they followed.
Next place was the Ramen shop. She posted a poster there and talked to the owner to spread the word. He was more then willing to
"This place has been around since before Naruto was a kid. It has been upgraded a bit. The food seems to be as good if not better then before." It was hard for her not to order a to go bowl. But things would never get done if she indulged in the things she liked. She bowed to the owner and walked out
"I wonder if any new shops will be built in the new districts?" She looks at her friends quizzically, and then kept walking. She hummed and sang softly as they walked. She looked forward to the concert. Nanami wasn't expecting a huge turnout.
She kept walking along the same street and they came across the sweets shop
"Ah, they have some of the best chocolate in town." She walks in and greets whoever is working. First things first was she posted the poster
"This place much like the Ramen shop has been around for a long time." She bought some sweets and shared them with Shiroma and Nori
"Konoha is such a different place in comparison to the Hidden Sand. I do miss my mother though. Father is busy with the council stuff most likely." Her mind shifts back to her parents for a moment. She almost walks into a sign, but narrowly avoids it
"Maybe deep thoughts and walking shouldn't go together." She giggles..
Nanami crossed the street to the Dango Shop.. The smell of the fresh Dango was hard to resist. There were many different types, on many different sized skewers. The coloring was amazing
"Food art.. Edible art.." She spoke out loud.. The hostess of the shop smiled.. Nanami put up a poster, bowed to the hostess and continued on with the tour.
Nanami guided Shiroma and Nori to most of the stores and eateries. The barbecue stand smelled amazing.. She asked a worker at the bar/pub if they could post it up as she was too young to go into the place yet. A nice older woman happily obliged Nanami and took a poster. There seemed to be quite a racket as the pub was filled to capacity due to the influx of people that needed to drink for one reason or the other. While only ever being allowed to drink dessert saki, which had little to no alcohol. It made her feel warm. So in her mind that would be a reason to drink it. As very rarely did Nanami's parents drink, both were council to the acting Kage's, both before and after the chunin exams. She winced when she thought about the exams. Nanami grits her teeth for a moment as they moved on with the tour..
Next were the entrances to the different clans areas. The first they went by were the Senju, Akimichi, and Aburame districts. They all had gates and sometimes a guard. Though with all the new people she noted that a lot of the security around the clan area were increased by a bit
"Huh, probably due to the influx of people I am guessing." She looked back at her teammates.. She shrugged and was allowed to put up a poster on the clan boards. Which were oddly empty
"I was hoping they were giving tours, but apparently not at the moment.." She smiled and continued walking. They eventually covered all of the mojor clan districts. Including the district she lived in
"It's got a nice bit of space, and for some reason the forest beyond the memorial stone is called Nara forest. Still haven't gotten a straight answer as to why.." She giggled at the several thoughts that went through her head.
The last few places were the library, mail center, archives, stadium, naka shrine, and just as the sun was setting the cemetery
"Oddly for all of those scary stories we read about. This cemetery is almost peaceful, as it is kept spotless, the grave markers are never dirty. The caretakers I imagine really cares about how this place look." She looked at the new areas, so many were added after the chunnin exams. She prayed her uncle and Naruto would not be added to the cemetery. She sighed thinking about that.. Nanami looked down and realized she was out of posters
"Well it seems I got caught up in showing Shiroma around and having fun with both you.. I ran out of posters." She says in a low voice
"I guess it's a good thing, this day has been a long one, and who knows how long our suspension is going to be. We should plan to train together daily.. We can't let ourselves get rusty, as the fight to reclaim our world is just beginning.." After saying that Nanami looks at Shiroma
"Do you have a place to stay?"
If Shiroma didn't she would offer one of the spare rooms in her families house. Either way she would make a proposal to them
"If you guys wanted to since there is a dojo in my clans district we could train there. I was also thinking you guys if you wanted could stay over, it would make training a lot easier, and this way we could go over training plans. We all need to get stronger, faster and more versatile. I have an idea of where I want my training to go. But I will need to learn how to channel water chakra in order to do so.. Which I am not sure how to do. Maybe you can help me with this Shiroma or maybe whoever our next Jonin is. However I can work on the other skills and jutsu I need to learn in the meantime." She smiled as she headed back towards her home. If Nori and Shiroma chose to stay over they would go over their training and plans for the next day..
Nanami tilts her head in thought
"Early morning training for four to six hours, then some vocal training for myself. You two could do as you wished during the three hours I plan to work on singing. Also, maybe we should help out in the construction areas or the hospital as both are in need of various types of help. Get ourselves out there and seen by everyone. It will help with the morale and such. Thoughts on the schedule? We could do this until the day of the concert. We can train in the morning. But afterwards I will be practicing and setting up the stage.. Also I am going to work on tracking down some musicians."
Nanami would agree to any changes to the schedule Shiroma and Nori might need to make.
The next day Nanami would spend the time training in her own style of Nin-Taijutsu. A variation of the taijutsu taught by her family and the academy. Even if she wasn't allowed to fight up in the front ranks. She needed to find a way to form an absolute defense style, well until she could learn the other jutsu needed to flush out the overall style that will be created. Though when Nori and Shiroma sparred she would use her Sharingan while they did.. Not to copy their styles, but to learn how they breathe when they fight. Something her father said a while back before she graduated the academy
-"If you can match their breathing you can know how they will move before they do."- These words had been in her mind since her confrontation with Kotatsu. Though there was more to it then what her father had said. Then she took a breath and tried to follow Nori's breathing pattern. It was a lot harder than it looked even with the Sharingan. Which if her teammates noticed, it now had its third Tomoe. As they spared, she kept trying to mimic their breathing. Slowly it got easier. This was just the beginning of what was to be a lot of training to come. Nanami would spar without her Sharingan, she took many hits from both of her teammates. Though none of the strikes were at their full strength. It still stung a bit. After they trained Nanami used the her families bath
"Your welcome to use it as well.." The bath was in a covered area outside, and looked similar to a hot spring bath. She would soak in it for a bit. After which she went out to the yard and started to practice her singing for the rest of the duration. Then she split her time between the clinic and helping the construction area. Dealing with injuries and such that were commonplace on a construction site.
The next two days went pretty much like this, until the third day.
Concert day seemed intense. She would join Nori and Shiroma for their morning training. Though she was distracted. The previous day she had asked a few ninja who knew earth jutsu to help construct a small stage, this way it wasn't using resources the village seemed to really need. It didn't take very long for a decent stone stage to be setup. She used lights and such from her clan, and a few of the local businesses chipped in and helped with the lighting. Her search for musicians was easy enough, as there were several from each of the different villages that needed something to do. She gave them the sheet music to practice with. She would also ask Nori and Shiroma if they wanted to sing the final song with her. Giving them the lyrics and a tape with the songs melody on it if they wanted to sing with her.
At the moment she was sitting in a bath thinking and hoping some people would turn out. She even sent an invitation to Lady Sakura.. Nanami didn't expect Sakura to show up with how busy she most likely was. After the bath she practiced until she needed to set up for the show. If Shiroma was able to create the fog. Nanami would give Shiroma a program and at what points in the different songs that the fog would be used. Nanami was nervous as she stood behind the stage. She could hear the murmurs of the people as they filed into the area. Her eyes glanced over to Shiroma and Nori
"Well lets see how many people came.."
Nanami steps out on to the stage as the sun sets behind her. That wasn't really planned but made her entrance seem like it was synced up with the sunset. The area was packed. The Ramen and sweets store had small mobile stands setup. It was quite the site. Nanami heart raced, this was not what she expected. She looked backstage at her teammates and take a deep breath. Her first song:
First song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnU9XR7D5X0 (This is just to show what type of songs she will be singing and her vocal style.)
Nanami started her first song. She was suddenly laser focused like all the time she spent preparing suddenly washed over her, instilling a new sense of focus and time. Near the midpoint of the first song was the first point when the fog was needed. She hit the high notes quite well. The people were oohing and ahhing as she sang. The first song came to close. Nanami was breathing hard, there was a huge difference from practicing alone and singing in front of a huge crowd. Even most of the kids from the clinic were allowed out to see it. This made her happier yet.
Her next song was faster paced and about bringing one another closer and happiness. This song lasted about about five minutes. She had planned the songs out so the high vocals were in the beginning and the last two songs at the end. The middle ones were much easier on Nanami's voice. She kept going and found she didn't need to use jutsu or the like to put on a good show. She did dance and flip around the stage a bit. But nothing to showy. She focused on her songs.
The next one was a tribute to the fallen ninja that died protecting their people. This song hurt to sing, and almost brought the girl to tears. But she held her composure till the end. Nanami was breathing harder and starting to feel emotionally worn out. The crowd cheered many had tears dripping from their cheeks. But the smiles increased, as the people looked more relaxed..
The fourth song was a tribute to the Kage of all the villages. This one wasn't happy or sad. It was uplifting. Many people smiled more softly, like the hope that they all shared had increased just a little bit. The looks they all gave showed they wanted their Kage back. This was to become Nanami's primary goal. The cheers were louder and this caused Nanami to clutch her heart and almost cry.. But she didn't give into the urge..
Now the finale..
Hallelujah - Final Song - Trio
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooZonYCkz-Q
If they chose not to sing. She does the solo version of this song..
The crowd errupts as the song ends. Nanami smiles at Shiroma and Nori.. Usually a performer would leave at this point. But she sits down on the stage and smiles softly taking in all of the positive energy that she could. After things quieted down. She helped clean up as did many other people who stayed behind to talk to Nanami. It seemed she garnered many fans this night. There were several requests for more concerts and she was more then willing, unless she was on a mission. After most have gone. Nanami sits back down on the stage and thinks long and hard on her goals, and she needed her own ninja way. She hadn't really thought about it till now. She looked over to Shiroma and Nori
"Shall we go, now that everything is taken care of?" She said with a soft and tired voice..
