(POI) The Uchiha Temple

[Nira]

So that was where the exploration ended. Granted, the sights so far were already quite inspiring. The same couldn't be said for the stench, but it was all repairable in time.

Vi glanced down at her scarlet scarf at the mention of Amaterasu. Yes, that title within her fighting style did originate from a deity, which these same people coincidentally worshiped. It was just a rank of mastery to her though, but she wasn't about to claim the title of a god in front of these men. She was just an immortal, not a divine.

The one called Akuma explained the offer of power. The gift of an incorporeal form, which the girls were a bit familiar with given their experience as soulcasters. It was tempting. If it was true intangibility, then they would be able to slip through almost any barrier in the world. So much would be open to them.

"Ah, from the Sound?" said Vi. "We paid a visit to their country's arena not too long ago, actually."

"Yep, I got to fight some guy called Draven No Shinda of Sound." said Tarah, "Kicked his butt, but Vi wasn't any help. Sure, she wasn't allowed to, but that didn't make her any less useless."

Vi sighed and veiled part of her face with her palm. "Yes, okay, might not be the best time to celebrate your victory for someone's fellow ally."

Tarah dismissed Vi's comment with an absentminded wave. "It was a play fight, Vi, lighten up. No one was permanently injured."

"Right then," said Vi, returning her attention to the king and his companions. "So long Tarah wasn't being offensively immature, we would gladly accept the offer proposed. Our purse isn't too large, settling somewhere beyond twenty-four thousand ryo, but we have valuable herbs in our possession. At a standard selling price, the herbs would be well worth over fifty thousand ryo. Would that be enough?"

[Umehara]

Ah, the Arena.

I'd heard little of its attraction, but the name "Draven No Shinda" escaped me altogether. My eyebrows furrowed as I searched my memory banks, but I couldn't remember a time where Mayu had spoken of such a shinobi. I nodded at the twins and their interaction, the corner of my lips turning upward as I chuckled lightly. "If you're able to defeat the Sound shinobi, then I would do well to call upon you when the time comes. It has been long since I have seen the true fires of combat." I vaguely remembered my last true kill. Unworthy and unwilling to perish from this plain, it had taken much to defeat my captors. Secretly, I even wondered when the last time I'd truly used my eyes had been.

Akuma lifted an old hand and took it along his beard, pondering the trade that my acquaintances had proposed. "Herbs, you say? What kind? We are bound to the temple, but-" they began. I lifted a hand as I stepped forward. "I will make what use I can of your inventory." I was ignorant to the ways of herb gathering, a realization that prompted further explanation in the future. If the business was as lucrative as Vi had suggested, then perhaps it was worth looking into. Gouken and Oro stood to attention, facing us and waiting for my order. And perhaps to their fortune, I was curious as to what my elders had learned in their world wandering.

"What of the others, Gouken?" I asked. They had returned without sound or interruption, signifying that the rest of the temple had been untouched and dormant. "It is as we thought, Lord Anotsu. Oro has already sent for the others. They line the border of Mizu No Kuni and have received order to return to the Temple. We will begin rebuilding at once." The promise of tomorrow slowly crept up my spine. What grandeur it would be to rebuild the foundation that so many had sought to destroy long ago. I would ensure that such a thing would never happen again. "We will begin with the restoration of the Temple's halls, my King. The least we can do is offer our guest a room for the night," Oro muttered, rubbing his hands together.

With my attention back toward the twins, it was clear that this process would take a while. "What say you, Vi? Tarah? Will you join us for the night?" I asked. My crystal clones continued their work. The pews were properly lined, the floor being swept of dust and dirt. The refuse was left to the corners of the room, chakra emanating from all of my identical kin as they performed crystal Ninjutsu to aid their efforts. Blockades of crystal rose from the floor to properly ensure no falling pieces fell as they took to the walls and ceilings, pulling stray rocks that had been embedded into the sanctuary of my bloodline.

[Nira]

Tarah smirked. She felt pride in her strength, and further compliments from the royal one served to amplify her ego. "Yeah, of course. That would be enjoyable, no matter the circumstance."

It looked like Vi worried over nothing. Defeating a sound shinobi in the arena didn't draw any ill.

Akuma questioned the type of herb the sisters carried. A fair question, since the price claim was significant. Before Vi was able to answer, Anotsu cut the question off. It seemed he didn't need too much of the details. That saved a few breaths. All for the best, the air down here wasn't the most enjoyable to breathe.

After that, the lord Uchiha spoke with his followers. They conversed of rebuilding, and of people coming back to the temple. All good news, a king with subjects returning to his domain. Even if there wasn't a physical throne now, there would be one soon.

Tarah looked at the crystal creations with interest. This particular division of ninjutsu skill was foreign to her, so it was interesting to study. It was something beyond earth, but not quite ice. Rigid structures formed and crafted, yet with a sparkling quality similar to gemstones. She wanted to touch it, but didn't want to possibly weaken the fortifications.

At around this time, Anotsu offered lodgings for the sisters. Tarah and Vi glanced towards one another before they answered. Tarah wasn't too bothered anymore, so she shrugged indifferently.

"Yes, that sounds quite fine," said Vi. "A break would be comforting. I didn't use too much energy, but engaging against restless spirits is a bit stressful."

What has happened to the Uchiha temple. It was only about four hundred years ago since Godric had visited water country. Stories of such a grand temple had fallen his ears. Though to dive into any detailed information, he would have had to concentrate upon his skill and lore of this area. But he was simply too astonished that such a grand place had crumbled.

Stories of the Uchiha had reached Godrics ears, hence why such a disaster falling upon a place was such a shock to him. About 20 meters away Godric could be spotted. Apparently those who were speaking were getting ready to call it a night. But this was just the beginning of his day, as the sun had set a bit ago...

What did this dark entity look like? Godric was wearing his cloak. The cloak itself was black with white accents. Upon its shoulders where red crosses, though Godric was by far from being a preacher of the faith. He only wears this style so that he can catch off guard any would be prey. He had fed recently so no one here had any reason to worry...

Hung around Godric's neck and underneath this buttoned up cloak was a pair of goggles. The visions as noted; Lie-Detector, Night Vision, Thermal Vision, X-ray vision, and at a 5x zoom. Underneath the cloak was a chest rig with five slots of kunai. Around his waist was a utility belt with the Stone village headband hung from it. Within the utility belt were various items as noted; one slot bo shurikens, one slot darts, one slot flash pouches, one slot goo pouches. Also within various pockets where a pack of fifty holder enhancements. Though to note his eight doses of hawkweed were placed in an easy to reach chest pocket.

But the things to truly note was his katana on Godric's left side. Perhaps the first clue that this was not a preacher. Strapped to his back was a six and a half foot tall cross wrapped in cloth. The cloth was laced with leather strips to keep the cloth tight, though a single action with one of the buckles would unstrap and unwrap the cloth from the cloth. Should that happen one would see the true intent of the large cross. It was in actuality a multi sword holster with twenty katanas inside of it. Though the multi sword holster and twenty katanas were of the large sized, two size increments larger then what normal katanas reach. All his items were listed out and the list somewhere on his person. Just one of those things he was particularly detail oriented with.

All in all Godric started to approach the individuals conversing. He held himself very relaxed as he rather not want to start a commotion. The just peeking moon made his skin glow a bit as it gleamed off his white marbled cracked skin. His silvery hair also caught some of the this light, that and he was an eight foot tall tower of a man, so he was easily detectable by the human eye...Godric was also trying to keep his wits about him so he monitored the comings and goings as he approached.

List held on person:

Cloak Type 3 (Overview) [.5/15 slots] x.5-Slot/1-Goggles(1,000 Ryo) Lie-Detector Lenses(13,000 Ryo) Night-vision Vision(5,000 Ryo) Thermal Vision(5,000 Ryo) X-Ray Vision(9,000 Ryo) Zooming Vision S rank(4,000 Ryo) Utility Belt Type 2 (Overview) [4/15 slots] x1-Slot/15-Shuriken, Bo (Overview)(1,500 Ryo) x1-Slot/15-Darts (Overview)(1,500 Ryo) x1-Slot/15-Pouch: Flash(7,500 Ryo) x1-Slot/15-Pouch: Goo(7,500 Ryo) Chest Rig - Knife Harness Type 2 (Overview) [5/5 slots] x5-slots/10-Kunai (Overview)(5,000 Ryo) Non-Slot consuming items: x50-Holder Enhancement(10,000 Ryo) Hawkweed 8 doses (20,000 Ryo) Weapons: Picture Sword, Longsword (Overview) (4,000 Ryo) Picture Multiple Sword Holster (Overview)/w 20 Sword. 20 Longsword (Overview) and Multi sword Holster size increments increased by 2: (248,400 Ryo)

Given a quick dismissal from the wards of Kiri no Sato, Hyobe had wandered into the depths of the wilderness of Thales in search of a building known immemorial. This had been the Uchiha Temple, located at some coordinates within the realm of Waves. The palace had been gargantuan: while he wasn't a man of envious blood, he could only marvel at so established an estate as he walked up its massive stone steps. The Kaguya surely did not have a palace dedicated to their people, only small bands of them and piles of bone had been erected for their warmongering lineage.

With his trio of tanto sheathed about his person, the Genin of the Hidden Mist advanced into the temple, his left arm covered in the steely element of his claw and gauntlet combination. Tucked away within the slots of his ninja tool pouch were knives, shuriken and a compass. He wasn't a man pressed to cause mayhem in the temple. He had just wandered here to get a break from the wafting mists within the village. As he moved through the area, he came upon a small gathering of people, who had seemed to be only growing larger as a looming figure began to move towards their proximity. These people had been monks that stood outside of the temple, no one of true distinguishable character. Hyobe, a man of valor within his village, moved towards the group as well, but held his tongue for the time being. He did not wish to break conversation by introducing himself. Had any shinobi from Kirigakure no Sato been present, then surely they would have recognized him as one of their own.

-- since this has no DE function yet, I have edited the post to fit the situation.

-- damn you, draven.

-- post had been edited, so perhaps atsu could npc the monks that Hyobe approached.

-- and no, I do not intend to change the status of the situation into DE. 

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

[Enter]

'Crap. Looks like I took the wrong turn back there' thought the female as she landed at the forest floor. She was supposed to go to the capital, but had apparently chosen the wrong path.
Her animal companions were hunting for some food nearby. At least the forests here weren't short of vermin or other type of small animals.

A familiar sound was heard from above. Marii looked up and saw Daiki hovering in a small circle. 'He has found something' realized the young woman. She then started to follow her animal companion a bit deeper into the forest.
Her eyes widened when she saw the giant structure ahead of her. 150 feet in front of her stood a tall mountain...or was it?

'Better check my equipment in case this is a nasty place' decided the Sannin. Her weapon pouch as well as her small field pack still contained the same amount of weaponry. She did a quick hand wave and the Coopers hawk started to descend.
The female doubted anyone had paid attention to him given that his specie was quite common in this nation. It did not made matters any worse that she had hid herself behind a large stone.

"Did you see anything interesting?" inquired the brunette. "Yes. It appears to be a gate with two hairless people in front of it" informed the animal.
"Were there any other humans or large animals there?" asked the young woman. "Yeah...there were two human males there that had a lot of weapons" replied Daiki.

Marii felt the little colour in her face fade away. 'I need a plan to get in. But how do I know if those two men are friends or enemies?
I'm not wearing my headband, but I still have it in my field pack. Wait a minute...maybe Shiori-chan can help a little' thought the female.

"Shiori-chan? Could you please do me a favour?" asked the Sannin. Shiori let out a small 'meow' in reply.
"Try to sneak as close to those two men over there. I need you to find out if they have a good or bad personality" told the young woman.

Her animal companion then walked closer to the two men who were in front of the temple. The Havana brown made sure to stay hidden by staying behind trees or lower her body in the high grass. 'I hope we haven't ran into trouble...that would be quite unfortunate' thought the brunette. She stayed behind the rock while the cat was now 100 feet behind the man who did not have as many weapons.

SPOILER: Click to show

Short summary:

- The man I referred to in my last paragraph is Hyobe since Godric has a lot of swords on him.
- Marii and Daiki have hidden themselves behind a big rock that covers them both.
- Shiori is 100 feet behind Hyobe. She's using the grass plus the vegetation to cover herself.


Jutsus used [Marii]:

Not sure if this is a valid jutsu anymore, but I thought I should still post it.

Ikimono supîchi (Animal speech).

This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know.

Limit: Must be a throwing specialist.


Jutsus used [Shiori]:

Detect evil.

With this technique the animal is capable of figuring out of the person is perhaps an evil intentioned character. This will help the animal feel threatened or feel more at eased, or to perhaps not even care or feel if one is perhaps suspicious in some way.

Sekondo nen (Second sense). NB! Only applies to Hyobe due to Godric being a higher class level than Shiori.

If an opponent comes to a brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw.

[Poëtische Rechtvaardigheid]

-Conacting Godic Mentally-

Saara would mentally contact Godic of Stone, the same one that had placed 'Bonding Thoughts' on her mind, she would merely wanting to know a couple things about her Ninja, plus she was bored with this meeting she was in, she would mentally speak to Godic,

"Godic, couple of questions, also forgive me if i am forward, my thoughts are more forward then my lips. But while I'm thinking about them anyway, how did you become a vampire to start with? What was your beginnings?”

Ger face with twitch as if she wanted to smile, unseen by him but her face moved not, she was more interested in how one of her Ninja's had come to be then the peace meeting to be for sure, lucky her, the network was already in place with the one she wanted to talk to about it.

[Draven]

(Breaking order real quick - Also need to clear what I am seeing as I missread where Atus and Nira are)

Gidroc must have been seeing shadows and hearing things. There was no one in front of him apparently. Though as he was looking around to see if there could be someone to ask about this place, he was receiving a mental telepathic communication. It was the Tsuchikage, such a pushy women. In hindsight perhaps setting up the network came with a drawback to his own person. But it was the Tsuchikage, he would not keep her waiting.

Through the telepathic link and within mental thought, Godric sent back a message, "The origins of the Dark gift is a secret that I'd rather not explain. In a way it is almost a mystery to myself. It was during a time when Gods and Demons were far more free with their manipulations of the mortals. I can only simply say I grew to have a thirst for blood, and the Sun cast me into the darkness never to see it again... How is the meeting going, and is Nelly ready to receive the network?" a simple subject change, yet the whole story is best to be explained face to face.

[Umehara]

Like a network of chakra signatures organizing themselves for my knowledge, I was able to sense the approach of multiple patrons who had seemingly been drawn to the temple. "As you say," I stated, my countenance revealing no change in expression at the knowledge of more visitors. My left hand fished into my belongings where I kept my ryo, revealing a great amount of currency that had been acquired through past endeavor. Quickly, I counted through my monetary inventory and pulled forth at least 33,000 ryo. "Best to make room for more guests, Gouken. Or coffins. Whichever is appropriate," I said, the money pushed into Akuma's hand as I moved past the group. With few handseals, I was hovering in midair at the leisure of the wind technique.

"Right away, Lord Anotsu!"

Akuma would remain with the twins as Gouken and Oro followed me to the temple entrance. My arms found themselves folded along my chest as I flew with majesty, my locks flowing behind me in a wave of silken grace. Approaching the chakra signatures as I crossed the threshold of the entrance, I would stop my travel and linger at least two meters off of the ground. The night sky had settled upon us. Luminous glow broke through the edges of the trees as the moon watched over us - still, not a shadow nor a spell could hide the potency of my Mind's Eye. Of particular note was what looked to be a porcelain specter disguised as a priest, the massive cross strapped casually to his back testament to the strength required to wield it. His epidermis, fractured and void of most of its mortal coil, spoke tales of tribulation that only a soul as old as Burakku's could have ascertained. "He is...different, Destroyer. Something I have seen a long time ago." I closed my eyes but for a moment, an almost imperceptible nod given to the voice before I took to examining the rest of the Temple's inhabitants. This one was powerful. I would do well to have remembered this moment.

As the unfamiliar shinobi that had made his approach (Hyobe) followed suit, Gouken held a hand forth to bid him pause. "Halt! Identify yourself!" he exclaimed in a raspy tone. As if on cue to his command, the shadows twisted and bent to reveal the presence of at least ten more monks. Varying in age, their uniform matched perfectly; katana and fans lined their forms expertly, some of them already gifted with a Sharingan that poured out from the depths of their eyes. Though they made no attempt to make eye contact, their eyes remained upon the ground - just as I had taught them so long ago to stir no ill will toward newcomers. Oro shifted as I continued to hover, mine own eyes intentionally unchanged so as to prevent hostility. Still, my right hand's fingertips played along the very tip of my katana's handle with careful judgement. "Show yourselves," I said, the monks gathering in a half circle behind me. There still remained the presence of the woman (Marii) and her companions, though I would only address them when they saw fit to recognize that they were in no position to hide from my Sensor's Perception. She was powerful, as well. I would not soon forget the surge in chakra that she pulsed.

Just what could they have gained at these undisturbed monoliths? The night wind blanketed the darkening temple, large spires along its edges coming to life as Oro held a single handseal. Scarlet flames burst into pillars of light that gave the dilapidated remains a certain glory, save the massive slabs of rock that lay over and along its expanse.

"If you are here to lay waste to a temple long destroyed, then we will grant you no mercy. The Uchiha will see you bathed in flames before the night's end. Otherwise, state your intentions. What happens next will be completely of your own ministrations." I would not allow them another step upon sacred ground. Already, I could feel the seals beneath us beginning to weaken. The dead caused the bones to rattle and the shields to clank, though the presence of even more of the Temple's own quickly perished the force that fought so powerfully to be released. "My Lord, what do you make of this?" Oro asked. Narrowed eyes prevailed as I lingered on his question. Before long, my lips would part to speak my hope.

"Rebirth, Oro......rebirth."

Fuuton - Hikō (Wind Release: Flight) (10)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows one to “fly” like a bird without the use of wings
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Must learn multiple times
Description: Through use of the Wind release, the user can manipulate the wind around them, allowing for actual flight to take place without the need for wings. But this cannot be done right off the bat. It takes multiple trainings to be done in order for Perfect flight to be obtained.
Clumsy: The creature can barely maneuver at all.
Poor: The creature flies as well as a very large bird.
Average: The creature can fly as adroitly as a small bird.
Good: The creature is very agile in the air (like a housefly or a hummingbird), but cannot change direction as readily as those with perfect maneuverability.
Perfect: The creature can perform almost any aerial maneuver it wishes. It moves through the air as well as humans move over smooth ground.

[Nira]

Vi nodded, then moved aside as Anotsu left their company. Based on his vague words, there were more visitors in the area. Since the honored king didn't request any assistance from them, the soul sisters remained behind with Akuma.

Tarah watched the king as he left. She was extremely curious, and had a hard time hiding that fact.

"Well, here's my share of the expenses," said Vi as she extracted 24,000 ryo from her personal purse.

Tarah didn't carry their money, since the tools and weapons were already a hefty weight.

"Hrm, should I accompany him just in case?" Tarah absently asked.

Vi shook her head, "Unless it gets rough out there, there's no need for us to disturb him," she said, before turning towards the remaining monk. "Sir Akuma, do you require any assistance with preparations, or should my sister and I retire for now?"

-24,000 Ryo

[Draven]

Godric would give the Tsuchikage a mental, “I must speak to you later, the Uchiha temple calls my name...” the short message and indication as to were he was, and perhaps what he was getting into...

The moon was out so those with low-light vision could see fine to an extent. Godric on the other hand had darkvision which could see to a distance of 35 meters. Suffice it to say he could see those coming from the temple, perhaps before they could see him. Furthermore those within 20 meters of Godric could be sniffed out in a general direction sort of way, and if they were to produce the slightest of noises he could pick them up with pin point accuracy due to his hells ears... This all would come to a head as the flames ignited.

A much more clear picture of Godric could be seen. His hair blowing within this breeze as a strand passed across his face. He slowly raised his arms out to his sides to show a more passive posture. His intent hopefully telegraphed as he spread his hands showing no weapons or methods of ill tidings. As the man who seems to be leading these Uchiha announced out to others in this area, Godric soon realized that he had perhaps been followed, or it was simply a coincidental gathering. Either way should they be within his range of passive detection, the vampire would know their locations among other bits of information such as scent.

A general address was given to Godric and anyone else. He simply listened and stayed his calm course. Though his aggressive nature was trying to claw at him as he was prone to uncontrollable rage. But his will was stronger for which that hasn’t been an issue in many a centuries... Though a twitch of his brow might indicate such emotions from deep within him, he only hoped that the Uchiha should not take this as a threat or a sign of attack.

“Gre'as'anto” Godric spoke in his native tongue. It translated into peace. That was his intentions and he said it as such because if those of the old world were present, then perhaps they would head him. The word lingered for just a moment before he spoke in common with a moderate accent, showing his undercomon upbringing long long ago, “I come here for peaceful reasons....” Thus hoping that he could lay the Uchiha’s mind to rest. This was enough for now as he studied the others reactions. The intentions of those around him was actually on his mind as well. A side long glance and the moon catching the pupils of his iris as he tried to capture on of these others whom seem to have come upon this place as well.

He stopped in his tracks, sure to maintain a high level of composure around these foreigners who may have taken his approach as hostile. Granted, Hyobe was strapped to the teeth in weaponry, he had no qualms with the Uchiha. To even further express his amiable disposition, he would drop to a knee and state his name.

"I am Hyobe. Shinobi of Kiri no Sato."

He didn't appear fazed by the appearance of nearly a dozen monk, all who seemed to work upon the will of the floating man with crimson hair. Hyobe would raise his head toward this man, unfazed by being caught within the gaze of any Sharingan technique that these men would launch at him.

"I simply wish to train within your halls, to study the tomes and lore of the Uchihan people," His voice was deep and carried towards the men of the bloodline. He remained bowed at the knee until he would be addressed further; the man before him had spoken in a tongue unfamiliar to him. But even the looming human seemed to pose peaceful intentions to this forlorn clan.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

((OOC: Shiori won't react since you're all good or neutral, but Draven's character being a vampire may frighten her a little))

Emerald green feline eyes narrowed as they came a little closer to the duo. The animal was now about 80 feet behind the duo. 'Shiori-chan seems a bit apprehensive...maybe one of them smells like an animal she's afraid of' noticed the female.
An old priest then suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Shiori quickly hid herself behind a tree while Marii started to gather some chakra.

"Halt! Identify yourself!" commanded the man while ten more monks emerged from the dark shadows. 'RYUUGAN!' thought the young woman as she activated her bloodlimit.
She narrowed her eyes as she zoomed in on the monks. Her eyes widened when she saw their optics...they were red with black dots.

'This is bad! I better keep an eye on those two in case they're allies or from Kumogakure' decided the Sannin as she felt her heart beat faster.
Another man then entered the scene. He had black hair, tanned skin plus an attitude that made him seem a bit scary.

"Show yourselves. If you are here to lay waste to a temple long destroyed, then we will grant you no mercy. The Uchiha will see you bathed in flames before the night's end.
Otherwise, state your intentions. What happens next will be completely of your own ministrations" stated the guy with a vary look at his face

"I come here for peaceful reasons..." told the stranger who had so many swords on him. "I am Hyobe. Shinobi of Kiri no Sato.
I simply wish to train within your halls, to study the tomes and lore of the Uchihan people," stated Hyobe. 'I think it's the best if I stay here...that new guy seems to be very strong' observed the brunette.

Her unnatural blue-white eyes glanced at the group of people. 'That's odd. All of them are looking into the ground.
I wonder if they're preparing a jutsu of some sort' pondered the young woman. Both of her animal companions had their guard up while she kept her eyes on the group to see what happened from here.

Jutsus used:

Chibi ryuugan (Little dragon eye).
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: The power of the ryuugan doujutsu is unleashed, allowing the user to see the elements of lightning, air and water up to a certain distance and increase general seeing distance of one's eyes.
Special: ---
Drawback: Cannot see out of natural line of sight, takes a negligible amount of chakra to maintain. Cannot pierce genjutsu.
Description: The first stage of the Kazeraikou doujutsu forces a temporary change of the user's eyes. The iris and pupil of the eye become one and change to a color decided at the first awakening depending on their mood. The color is like a cloud and swirls around the user's eye when looking around. Small lines of white will flash across the eyes like lightning bolts and continually do so as long as the eye is active. With the first stage of the ryuugan doujutsu unleashed, it allows the user to see the elements of lightning, air and water within normal viewing parameters. One's natural sight is also enhanced giving the capability of 2 x zoom capabilities. The user sees the elements as three new, vibrant, and opaque colors that mesh perfectly with their normal vision, giving the user the ability to see the three elements without hindering their normal vision in the slightest. Of course normal vision can hinder this special sight, as the user cannot see through walls or other things as normal.

This technique makes it where the throwing specialist is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw.

[Umehara]

I allowed my gaze to descend upon the entirety of the vicinity, the ultimate power beneath the veil of my half-slated orbs hidden from them for the time being. Carefully, I weighed their words and allowed pursed lips to show no sign of disdain; all were welcome here, or so my kin would have told me if breath had still remained in his lungs. The monks allowed their eyes to withdraw from their Sharingan state. As the tension slowly leveled, I allowed the soles of my feet to touch the earth beneath me. "Peace. A concept that this Temple has known little of when it was first erected. If you will reside here, then you will know the intent of my presence. I desire to rebuild. I desire for the Uchiha to become the great line of shinobi that they once were. And above all else, I desire to take my place as King to lead them. My name is Uchiha Anotsu. Remember it well."

Gouken stepped forward soon after, the seriousness of his stern gaze lifting just enough so that he might order the monks of the Temples. "Clear the rooms at once! The night draws upon us, and these guests have earned our Lord's stay. Please, gracious guests. We would have you rest tonight and tell us of your travels.." he began, stumbling over his words a bit. "Ah...my manners. Might I have the names of those who have not given them?" I had taken particular notice of Hyobe's bended knee. Stepping forward, I lifted a hand and bid him to stand. "Your desire to study within these walls is admirable. But what drives you? What does this dilapidated edifice offer to a shinobi of the Mist?" Again, the memories of the fallen Uchiha Kouketsu stalled me. Quickly, I dismissed the past and its turmoil. "I would know all of your stories," I said. With that said, the monks began to move quickly into the Temple. Working at a pace too disciplined for the untrained, the surface of the Temple was brought to life.

I turned to follow them inside, expecting those who had joined us to do the same. "...And if your animals require food, then we shall ensure that they are well fed." I said it loud enough for the woman to hear, vanishing beneath the threshold of the temple. It was not long before the smell of food wafted throughout the outer workings of the massive structure, the company of our brethren arriving shortly after the invitation was extended. My crystal clones had never stopped in their ministrations, sweeping and wiping the surfaces of the large dining hall that was to be used. Pleased with the progression, I would not bother Akuma and Vi.

Marble floors would greet them as at least two elongated tables rest within the center of the dining hall. Candles burned and illuminated the room quite nicely, tapestries and ninjutsu applied to offer a clean environment that would at least grant them a hollow experience of the Temple's greater days. While the outside looked destroyed and left bare, the inner floors began their transformation to glory. Every bedroom, formerly belonging to the monks who had once lived here, was furnished and placed with care so as to offer warmth and relaxation to the travelers. The irony, I sighed, that the Bane of Uchiha would feign his role as a King and leave no trace of the Curse Seal's blasphemy.

~*~

Akuma took the payment from her, pushing it deep into the folds of his pockets as he took note of the quickened pace of Gouken and Oro. "Eat now, child. For the night will be long for you. I will prepare a table upon which you will lay. Pray that the morning sun keeps you.." he muttered. Old but alert eyes watched her countenance for some sort of physical response to the ominous statement. Whether she would acknowledge the seriousness in his tone, he would simply turn and begin to shuffle into the uninhabited portion of the Temple.

"Remove your inventory and leave it in the corner after you have eaten, should you choose to dine with the King. Otherwise, I will come for you in a short time." With that, his presence vanished almost completely within seconds of his words dying out from the very walls around them.

[Poëtische Rechtvaardigheid]

ooc; because im a voice in godic's head, im posting my exit >3


Saara would take in his words, with a light smile that he couldn't see, she would merely speak, “I will find out more on it later then, but for now, be safe, and don't spill the blood on the floor when you walk out.” with that she would turn back to where she was and listen to the two speak to each other.

-exits thread without a sound- 

[Nira]

Vi only lifted a single brow upon hearing Akuma's puzzling choice of words. Well, those who follow the teachings of the divine weren't always the most direct. It was easier to follow along the rants of a scientist. There might have been more of a reaction if fear was still an emotional factor, but that part of the mind was thoroughly purged from the soul sisters.

After Akuma left their presence, Vi turned towards Tarah. "Should we both attend dinner, or shall we save them from an extra set of servings?"

She was referring to the nature of the soul split. Although both girls were as real as any other person, one of them would fade in roughly half a dozen hours. If only one of them ate, and the other faded away, only half as much food needed to be consumed.

"I am a bit cramped here," Tarah admitted. "You go, I'll get myself some fresh air before we redo our usual protections."

With a nod of understanding, the sisters split apart. Vi made her way to the dining area, while Tarah left the depths of the temple.

[Draven]

As the departing words of the Tsuchikage came to Godric's mind, perhaps those who can see chakra would note how the telepathic link that had been established would vanish... The word blood would lingering in his head. Thus the invitation set upon him and those around... What would this creature of the night do?

"I do not sleep when the moon shines, Nor I enjoy the taste of food. Tis but a requirement for my body alone. No, unless there is someone willing to donate their lifeblood for my sustenance I decline that specific invitation." Godric spoke with his moderate accent. The thought of food was only but a requirement his body needed, the taste of which he has learned or perhaps his body has rejected. The food not but ash in his mouth, vice verse if someone was willing to give him a taste of blood, he would not pass up the opportunity.

Now why was Godric here again, he thought to himself. He had been drawn by the stories of such a place, temples of such lineage. He knew of them and was curious as to which still stood. So was this simply an itch he wanted to satisfy or had there been another opportunity that had presented itself... "My Name is Godric Hyuuga..." A name which he spoke, a name with perhaps had more weight behind it here in this place than in most. It was no secret the animosity behind the Uchiha and the Hyuuga. An animosity that perhaps might send the Uchiha on edge. But he was not here for any ill intent, no the opportunity for just the opposite seemed far more logical to him...

"I Have stories I wish to tell, and in exchange I would like to learn and cherish the ones your temple may hold." Godric requested. Thus with that his intention to accept the warm place to stay the night. Hopefully the man with red hair would understand what he meant when he said he sleeps not at night. Either way the information could be freely given should the situation call for it. In any event should things work out he took a few steps forward just to test if he was indeed welcomed. Should this welcome continue his steps continued into the bowels of these temple ruins.

[james]

In reply to the King, Hyobe stated his purpose for traveling to the Uchiha Temple. The man rose to his feet and began to walk towards the group, heading into the dining hall.

"It is an understanding that I wish to have. Your clan and my own have differing few points yet everything is connected. I wish to see if I can understand how and why." Sagacious to say the least. The Kaguyan Genin had been one who liked to delve into the lore of numerous Ichizoku and always made it a point to gain an understanding of be it enemy or comrade.

Additionally, he would make note of the looming man's surname--Hyuga--and turned his head towards Godric as he spoke his name. It seemed that the heights of these Temples had the allure to draw in many Kekkei Genkai on this night.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

"Peace. A concept that this temple has known little of when it was first erected. If you will reside here, then you will know the intent of my presence. I desire to rebuild. I desire for the Uchiha to become the great line of shinobi that they once were" started the male.

"And above all else, I desire to take my place as king to lead them. My name is Uchiha Anotsu. Remember it well." stated Anotsu.
'So he's an Uchiha huh? Better be careful...this guy seems to be a bit cocky' decided the female.

"Clear the rooms at once! The night draws upon us, and these guests have earned our Lord's stay.
Please, gracious guests. We would have you rest tonight and tell us of your travels.." started the older man before he stumbled over his words a little. 'At least they don't seem evil since Shiori-chan have not reacted' observed Marii.

She noticed that the less armed man had bent his knee while the taller guy somehow made Shiori a bit anxious. The young woman decided to get a little closer so she could hear them.
The Sannin hid herself in the tall grass as she sneaked forwards. She was now 110 feet behind them.

"Ah...my manners. Might I have the names of those who have not given them? Your desire to study within these walls is admirable.
But what drives you? What does this dilapidated edifice offer to a shinobi of the Mist?" inquired the monk.


"It is an understanding that I wish to have. Your clan and my own have differing few points yet everything is connected. I wish to see if I can understand how and why." told Hyobe.
"My name is Godric Hyuuga" informed Godric. She felt a skinny grin form on her face.

'An Uchiha under the same roof as a Hyuuga!? This is BOUND to be interesting!' thought the female. The group then went towards the temple.
"...And if your animals require food, then we shall ensure that they are well fed." told the man in a louder voice.

She felt the colour vanish from her face. 'WAIT. How did he - is it because of his sharingan!?' thought the young woman.
Her mind started to think about the situation. This guy was an Uchiha with lots of confidence, but he was kind enough to let shinobis into the temple.

'I suppose I can follow them. At least until further notice' decided the brunette. She stood up from her hiding place before she walked towards the temple.
Her eyes returned to their former shade while Daiki landed on her shoulder. "Keep your senses alert guys" muttered the female, ready to confirm her Identity if required.

Before Godric reached the temple he paused. It seemed there was other things he actually needed to do. "I appologize but I am needed elsewhere." With that he turned around and left the area.
