In Oshiro's case, it's a full-blown Alliance.<br/><br/>Edit: Also, holy crap. If Midori finds out who sent the Shinobi, they better watch their backs. I guess we'll see if she finds out IC during this event -- it may be more fun for her to figure it out later on rather than immediately. Depends on how it goes, I suppose.<br/><br/>Glad we're starting off on a nice hook into the story!
