-----α twitch of a finger was all it took for me to get yanked out of harm's way, pulled to Kasai's side even as the puppet sprinted away from the imposing attack the red woman threw forward. Myself safely on the massive tiger's back, she arched back around toward the blue woman as the ink mist dissipated. To both my surprise and relief, she'd been tangled in the wire Kasai had thrown. The thick strand retracted into the puppet's neck as we approached. -----Pulling my sketchbook out, I flipped it open to one of the pages I'd placed a fuuin for Choujuu Giga. With the woman trapped, she had nowhere to run for the moment. Placing my free hand--the strange replacement one the bell had given me--against the page, I activated the fuuin, sending the creature to strike the woman. The ink tiger was similar in appearance and size to Kasai, giving the puppet a double image before the Choujuu Giga shot forward to attack. Kasai slid to a halt, poised to throw a second attack in the situation this one missed.

This allows him to move himself or a puppet instantaneously out of harm's way • Mechanism Used: Hydraulics in limbs allow for increased agility and speed despite weight of puppet.
• Choujuu Giga [Super Beast Imitation Drawing] - B Official Description: A technique characteristic to Sai that allows him to adapt to the circumstances of any confrontation. The ninja uses chakra-infused ink to quickly draws objects onto his scroll. The moment the brush is removed, the images leap from the paper, grow to life-size, and act according to the user's will. Because they are made of ink, a single blow is usually enough to dispel them. For discreet communiques while undercover, Sai is able to turn the words he writes into small animals, allowing them to travel unnoticed to the intended target, after which the ink animal requires a scroll to reverts back into written information. Few techniques rival it in terms of versatility. Exhibited drawings include: Mice, Lions, Birds, Owls, Leeches, Bats, Fish, Snakes, The Benevolent Kings (仁王, Niō) or Vajra Strongmen (金剛力士, Kongō Rikishi), Explosive Tags, Tigers, Cats, Squirrels, Rabbits, and Dragons.
ρυρρєтs αcтιvє • Kasai At 12 feet (365.76 cm) in length from nose to the tip of the tail and 42 inches (106.68 cm) to the shoulder, Kasai is the full embodiment of the mighty tiger. It has white and black synthetic fur covering its body, but underneath, it is made of bamboo and steel. This puppet was built for attack and speed. It is built of mostly bamboo externally, but the internal bone structure is steel. This gives it power behind its attacks. A chakra steel orb where its heart would be allows it to absorb chakra from Shadow for uses as either a blast or camouflage. Bladed steel claws and teeth give it a devastating bite. Kasai's body is pretty much solid, with only a couple of compartments carved within, one for holding ink, and another for a spool of wire. This makes it weigh something close to 800 lbs (362.87 kg). To make up for this, hydraulics in its legs allow for easier movement despite this heavy weight.
Mechanism Summary: • An orb of chakra steel at the heart of the puppet can store up to 100 chakra, as applied from Shadow. Chakra cannon located in mouth. The rank of the blast is determined by the amount of chakra released (i.e. 5 chakra = E-rank up to 80 chakra = A-rank). • Can become camouflaged with surroundings using 80 of stored chakra (equivalent to A-ranked Meisai Gakure no Jutsu [Camouflage Concealment Technique]). Chakra signatures can still be detected by sensors and doujutsu such as Sharingan and Byakugan. • Reflectors on the points where the strings attach to the puppet attaches the strings likewise to either Shadow or another of his puppets. This allows him to move himself or a puppet instantaneously out of harm's way. • Puppet contains a mechanism to allow it to combine with other puppets. By reactivating the strings (costs the same as Kugutsu no Jutsu), the puppet disassembles and attaches to various parts of another puppet. The claws of Kasai become blades of four large axes, and the limbs an extra set of arms to wield them. • Large ink compartment in stomach. Used as emergency ink for larger Ukyo techniques. 9x9x6 inches. • Compartment at base of neck opens to a wire dispenser. Used to ensnare opponents and draw them closer. Holds up to one hundred feet of wire. • Hydraulics in limbs allow for increased agility and speed despite weight of puppet.

-----Chakra blared past him, forming the seal of the Eight Trigrams he had studied years before. He knew what it meant, knew that from the glow of the seal that it was likely the second step of the Sixty Four Palms attack, and also knew as Shadow yanked on his puppet that he would be safe. Yet, would Jack be? No. He could not dodge this, not without continuing this fight. His Voice of Terror had brought out an insanity within his enemy, and forced her to reveal her powers as a Hyuuga. This fight was beyond them, for neither Shadow nor Jack were melee combatants, though Shadow's puppets would likely be of some aid. No, worse, if they did try to fight, and failed, would the stranger Ice Prince have any luck? And if not, what would they then do? No, Jack, as a Jounin of this village, could not take the risk in letting them fail, could not allow the chance of Shadow or the stranger dying, and more, he could not fail his village. This needed to end, and end now. There were items in his home, items he could use and call to. He knew the spells, the incantations, the millions of tiny movements and words that could summon them all. But he had no time for them all.
----- These opponents could slip through their transdimensional portal at any time by stepping into it. Insane though she might be, his illusions might prompt her to simply step back and through. Whether his Genjutsu would effect her in another dimension was unknown, and he could not take that chance, not here and now. Behind him he heard the rustle of paper, and Shadow's breath. He was about to release an attack, and that meant Jack had to react not. Reaching out behind him with both hands, he barked out a command, his eyes fading into their inverted selves. "Honeth e' tolinar!" There came a loud report, doors slamming open in the distance, and from the shadows would come forth two bells, one barely large enough to be used in one hand, another a few inches smaller in diameter. As they touched his palms his flesh began to smoke, but it would not be a deterrent from his movements. Without hesitation he lashed forward with the larger, and brought the smaller around to clang the two together before him. A resounding clang came, but it was not the sound of metal on metal. The sound that issued forth was not of this world, the deepest resounding within the bones of the listener, the smaller within their mind. The bones spoke of obedience, the mind of command. The two sisters would be forced to lower their hands to their sides, the command overwhelming, and the other forced them to stillness, their bodies a slave to another's commands.
----- Taking a deep breath, Jack dropped the two bells, which struck the floor and cracked, their use expended. "You have just heard the voices of Kibeth the Walker, and Saraneth the Binder, two of Death's seven voices in the multiverse." Hands continuing to smoke, anyone looking would see that the flesh was slowly turning black and withering away. "Arrogance to ring them costs the wielder their life, unless trained as a Necromancer. I am not." Jack...he looked sad, his face falling away at last from the neutrality or remoteness it always had. Raw emotion, the face of a human, gave away the resignation, the pain, and the sorrow of his actions as he reached into his left coat side to grip something. "Their voices will silence you, and bind your physical forms to my command. You will not speak, nor move." With any luck, this meant that Shadow's attack would work, killing one or both. But he was prepared for that, even as Shadow's ink tiger went for the blue, Jack pulled out a dagger and what looked to be a steel spike. The spike he tossed into his left hand, spun, and slammed downwards. Somehow, during the spin, the spike had increased to the size of his cane, and thus bringing it down required no movement from his legs. The instant the spike would touch the "ground", light would fill the entire room, the blackness turned to white, yet all of their shadows would somehow be pronounced, emboldened somehow, as if the light source came from behind or before them, yet there was no apparent sound. Releasing this, Jack looked to the last of the pair, the red sister, the one who had sought to end his life. His eyes began to bleed, scarlet tears falling to red rivers down his face. Turning slightly, Jack cast his gaze to Shadow, where the inverted nature would fade, turning into a beautiful hazel, and a small smile formed. "Shadow...Whatever I did, whatever wrong I committed, know that despite the little time we've known each other you have been like a brother, a son, to me. A friend no more, but family, the only one I've known. And for you, for the village, I end this threat forever more."
-----Turning back, Jack took the dagger into both of his now black and ruined hands, his bloodied eyes already beginning to spread their scarlet nature into the whites. "For your crimes against this village, this world, I cast you into a fate worse than Death." And with that, Jack plunged the blade into his heart, the blade with the hilt made of bone, carved into a screaming face, wailing in horror. The dagger with the blade made of black steel etched by the fingernails of those dragged to a terrifying fate. This blade struck his heart with a sickening crunch, and blood immediately gushed both from the wound and from Jack's mouth. Doubling over, the blood spilled to the ground, forming into a pool at his feet. Was this the end for Jack, this unsightly death?
-----Far from it.
-----The blood began to turn black, starting at his mouth, until it had spread down to the pool. As it filled the entire pool, something terrible began to happen. Every shadow pulsed. It was the same effect as a cup of water rippling with each step of a monstrously large creature approaching. As it did so, the shadows began to hum, a powerful hum that filled the light filled building with a sort of ominous, latin-chanting presence. A sense of foreboding would come over everyone as Jack shuddered once, twice, and fell to his knees, the blood still sprouting out from around the dagger wound. His hat fell off of his head, landing on the ground and spilling forth from it's inside a mass of flesh and muscle which dissolved almost instantly into insects of various types that crawled away into Jack's blood, and into it's depths. Jack convulsed, the final death throws, and his hair fell about his body as he spoke one last phrase. "Awaken...Truth...Aspect...of the...Devourer..." And with that he fell forward into the pool of black blood, and fell below it's surface, causing the pool to expand from his added mass.
-----There was no ripple, no stirring of the surface.

"I Must Drag Truth Kicking and Screaming into the Light"
Bones snapped and jangled as the woman in blue was pulled towards Shadow's puppet, the audible sounds gruesome in their own regard even as cries of pain doled out. Kicking and screaming as she was dragged, the blindingly white Choujuu Giga seen from her side snapped her head off in one clean blow, the jaws gracefully performing the execution. For a moment, the body seized as its muscles went into confusion, before going limp and lifeless. The woman in red's experience was unique even to her, as the sword dropped from the clang of bells, to the blackened floor below, its physical form glowing slightly white. The green chakra from the trigrams burst, dissipating into the pseudo atmosphere harmlessly around the group. [insert awesome Past-Jack death scene here. ;3 6k A.C., 4k Ryo for the assassinations]
Reiki dropped to his knees, fatigue a minor worry, even if it paled in comparison to Jack's repercussions. He had used too much chakra in a short time span, and his breath was both ragged and heavy. "I don't suppose you know how to get out of here, do you," he quietly questioned Shadow when the small man was ready to be spoken to, as he moved his bangs out of the way to see. Looking over at the Kiri-nin, his vision changed targets to the surrounding screens. The strange room persisted still after the deaths of the women, the eye-screens still present, the white arm covered in blue cracks still existing, and the formed Hyouton lingering even as its master edged close to exhaustion.

-----ᾎnd the world rippled.
-----The shadows quaked, the darkness intensified, and a feeling of dread would wash over all within the "room" as the dark puddle slowly stretched upwards, something slowly rising from its depths. As it did wails could be heard coming from the shadows, high pitched shrieks of terror and horror, pain and agony. Behind the two women, one dead and one about to follow, the shadows would harden, and from the "ground" would erupt two twisted obsidian pillars, both carved with grotesque figures and demonic apparitions of nightmare. And from between...nothing could be seen. Not darkness, not shadows, absolutely nothing, for it was a void in the fabric of reality, stretching between all realities and dimensions to a realm worse than death. From it the screams and wails became louder, and the dead sister's body would slowly begin to ripple as the figure in the puddle finally reached its' max height.
----- The dark liquid pried away from its hands, exposing brass fingers in a glove of liquid metal, sliding back into plates. Soon it reached a dark blue/gray robe, tattered and old beyond knowing, that spread further up to the shoulder, where some dead beast's skull lay on the shoulder. The liquid spread upwards from the feet, exposing grey, blue tinted flesh with chains binding the feet together, with only half a foot of chain between to allow movement. Bandaged legs, the same robe, and finally a sandy grey sash before the same odd liquid brass began to appear, forming a breastplate that seemed to be made in texture from some sort of bone. As last the shadows reached the face, revealing an old, raggedy grey cloth stretched from one end of the hood to the other, displaying a grotesque, monstrous mouth stitched with what looked to be human sinew onto it, and then...the eyes. In a face greyed from loss of life and yet tinged with blue, the eyes stood out more than anything: they were black, soulless holes in the head, the eyes seeming to absorb and pull all light towards them only to destroy it. No, feed on it. And when this manifestation, rail thin, began to speak its voice began high, but dropped to low half way through, only to go high again at the end. It was the voice of a madman. "Aspect of the Devourer."
----- The aura of dread became one of terror, a wave of fear that would come out from the center. Lifting its right hand the figure toyed with the black dagger within it, looking at the two women. The ripples on the body of the dead one had suddenly frozen still, and from the hole where her head had once been would seep a black liquid-like smoke that rose and formed a shadowy version of its once-living form. The thing was the soul of the woman, and it still bore its mind and sentience from its life. And when it was fuly formed, it would feel this fear, and worse, it would hear the screams coming from the portal. Worse, they were calling for her. "You wanted an end? Well here it is! Death unending, where you can never harm another again!" And with that, he snapped his fingers, and blood snapped out from the force as he sliced his fingers. Raising those two fingers he began to draw in the air, forming the summoning mark of a contract summoning.
-----And when he finished, when the blood burst into flame and vanished, it all ended.
-----Two enormous blue arms stretched through the portal, grabbing the dead sister's soul and the living on in its hands. The figure began to laugh, throwing back his head and cackling with a voice filled with insanity. "To the Dark Plane you go, little bitches, to my home! To the home of all madness and darkness, to the home of all things evil. To Hell!" And then he pointed at the woman, pointed at her and let his mask fall off. Though Reiki and Shadow would not see what lay beneath the stitched mouth of the mask, the woman would, and it would be beyond reason to dare describe it here. "Yet you must be dead to enter! Well, normally, unless I do this~!" And with that something black, and oily, shot from the face and landed on the woman. It stretched outwards over the hands, over her body, and started to burn. As her screams began, the figure laughed once more, and the two arms hauled her into the darkness where her screams would echo forever.
-----And it all ended. One moment it was there, one moment all Hell had literally broken loose, and suddenly the entire room was the same as it had been...except Jack. Jack still looked like this monstrous figure, yet as he slowly turned the facade slipped away, turning into black smoke, sliding off of his body. Facing Shadow, Jack slowly smiled, his eyes now hazel, and as he moved to speak he coughed instead, blood coming out from his mouth. He dropped to his knees, and then collapsed onto the floor, a slow pool of blood slowing pooling out around him. The blood flow was simply to great, for his heart had been pierced, and as the light faded from his eyes Jack's last words echoed in the darkness. "May this...make up...for what I've..done...Shadow...I love...you..." And with that, he fell still.
-----And it seemed, just for an instant, that at last Jack was at peace. It would appear as if his face had changed, too, besides the now hazel eyes, for it appeared that his skin had taken on a sort of sheen, with his hair, normally black, gaining dark green locks in places and the scent of fresh grass. But then he was gone.

-----тhe battle was over the moment Jack plunged a dagger into his heart. My successful attack against the blue woman hardly mattered. Whether I'd killed her myself or not, what followed Jack's sacrifice probably would have ended her. In fact, I don't even know why I was still alive. -----I released Kasai's hold on the dead woman, once everything had calmed down again, and we were left in silence. The wire retracted the rest of the way into the dispenser at the base of her the puppet's neck. But my gaze was fixed on the spot where Jack had been, my mind playing through everything I had just seen. Who was the gray figure? What was the gray figure? And what had he done? What had Jack done to the two women? A shadow of the first had been pulled from her body, and the second... I didn't want to think about that. -----Above all, Jack was dead. More than that, he was gone. I knew, was consciously aware, that that hadn't been the real Jack, but the thought wasn't something my mind was willing comprehend. I couldn't bring myself to do more than stare, for fear I might break. -----The genin's voice snapped me from my stupor, making me jump, and tears slid down my face. I couldn't find words to respond with at first. Honestly, I remember him asking a question, but not the words. But I hardly cared right then. "How... how can you be so calm?" Tearing my eyes away from the spot Jack had been, I looked at the older boy. He was exhausted physically. I still had plenty of chakra, but I couldn't think any more. I was used to not sleeping for long periods, but I don't think I'd ever felt so tired. I couldn't even gather the energy to mourn the loss of my best friend. -----That wasn't the real Jack. -----Had it been any other situation, I might have completely lost it. I would have called Jack a coward for what he had done. Given a little more time, we could have come up with another method of defeating them. But then... Jack couldn't have escaped the red woman's attack, and my attention had been on the blue woman. -----The genin's words finally registered, and I followed his gaze to the screens. The strange arm the bell had given me was still here. So far it hadn't done anything bad, so I wasn't worried about it beyond whether or not it would vanish. But how were we supposed to get back? Turning away, I checked to see if the doorway we'd come through was still there. "I think... we can go back the way we came... But..." My gaze returned to him. "The island is dangerous for you..."
ρυρρєтs αcтιvє • Kasai At 12 feet (365.76 cm) in length from nose to the tip of the tail and 42 inches (106.68 cm) to the shoulder, Kasai is the full embodiment of the mighty tiger. It has white and black synthetic fur covering its body, but underneath, it is made of bamboo and steel. This puppet was built for attack and speed. It is built of mostly bamboo externally, but the internal bone structure is steel. This gives it power behind its attacks. A chakra steel orb where its heart would be allows it to absorb chakra from Shadow for uses as either a blast or camouflage. Bladed steel claws and teeth give it a devastating bite. Kasai's body is pretty much solid, with only a couple of compartments carved within, one for holding ink, and another for a spool of wire. This makes it weigh something close to 800 lbs (362.87 kg). To make up for this, hydraulics in its legs allow for easier movement despite this heavy weight.
Mechanism Summary: • An orb of chakra steel at the heart of the puppet can store up to 100 chakra, as applied from Shadow. Chakra cannon located in mouth. The rank of the blast is determined by the amount of chakra released (i.e. 5 chakra = E-rank up to 80 chakra = A-rank). • Can become camouflaged with surroundings using 80 of stored chakra (equivalent to A-ranked Meisai Gakure no Jutsu [Camouflage Concealment Technique]). Chakra signatures can still be detected by sensors and doujutsu such as Sharingan and Byakugan. • Reflectors on the points where the strings attach to the puppet attaches the strings likewise to either Shadow or another of his puppets.

Holds up to one hundred feet of wire. • Hydraulics in limbs allow for increased agility and speed despite weight of puppet.
At Jack's passing, his body glowed a soft white, his features becoming unrecognizable until he was entirely of the same color. Sinking into the black flooring, the door that had been shut earlier grew from his remains, curling up into a stylistic and ornate golden frame. The eyes and their screens remained the same, unmoving but continually updating the screens with both current and past events. Sighing, Reiki managed to keep himself from falling apart at his seams for now. "Calm? I feel like it has something to do with your blastingly white arm, and this door that just grew. It better be the last door I ever see," he commented, a rasp of pure tiredness clearly evident. Trying to blink away the brightness that Shadowseeker could not see, the Ice Prince continued. "I feel that we cannot return the same way as we arrived here." A few staggeringly frail looking steps and the tall male was at the high door, his right hand whiffing at the white doorknob, passing through it as if made from fog. "I can't grab it from this realm, can you?"

-----ι watched the genin approach the door that had sprouted from Jack's body, expecting to follow him through a moment later, but his hand passed through the knob. I stared in confusion, then looked down at my right 'arm', or whatever it could be considered. Maybe he was right. Maybe it did have something to do with this. -----Pulling a scroll from my bag, I unrolled it and, a moment later, sealed Kasai within. For now, and for a while, I hoped, I wouldn't need it. The puppet wouldn't fit through the door anyway. Replacing the scroll in my satchel, I approached the door. Once the white-haired boy stepped out of the way, I tried to grab the door. -----It felt solid to me. Frowning slightly, I decided it best not to question and pushed the door open, stepping through to see where it would lead.

-----ι opened my eyes to sunlight filtering between the panels of my window's shades, forcing me to squint. It must have been pretty late in the morning for that--or at least later than I normally woke up, which was before dawn. At that was if I slept. Last night, for the first time in a while, I slept the whole night through. While it was nice, it also made my body ache and left a bad taste in my mouth of leftover dinner. -----Groaning, I half pushed myself up and rolled onto my back, holding my right hand up to block the sun. It wasn't like it would get tired if I held it there. After all it was made of wood and steel. -----Two months had passed since the strange occurrences of Kirigakure, namely the time loop, mushrooms, and weird other dimensions with crazy women dressed in white. Not to mention when I got out of the other dimension thing, I'd apparently been aged to the equivalent of about fourteen physically, puberty and all. I was taller and heavier--barely--and my voice was different--sort of. It was getting there. It had also been two months since I watched my best friend die. Not really, but at the time it had been real enough. After all it was a real past version of Jack. Did that mean Jack no longer existed in that time? Wouldn't that affect the future, and he wouldn't be alive anymore? I don't know how many times those thoughts ran through my mind. Of how the past me felt knowing his only companion was dead, and it was my fault because I dragged him out of that time. -----Depressing, right? And people wondered why I couldn't sleep. -----Usually. For once, I was well rested. -----Anyway, those two months following had been an adventure in themselves. Soon after the time loop ended and life continued like normal, I decided to start researching a way to get an arm. My original arm was impossible, seeing as it had been eaten by a certain giant cat. I could have possibly used someone else's arm, but there was a chance my body would reject it, and even if it didn't there was no guarantee I would be able to use chakra through it. So I came up with the idea to make a sort of 'puppet' arm. Which required a trip to the center of puppetry, Sunagakure. There, I spoke about my idea with the Kazekage, who, after I had the arm made, introduced me to a man named Mamoru Miyamoto. We went through with an operation to restore chakra use to my severed limb, allowing me to use the mystical energy through my puppet arm. And here I was. I was still getting used to it, and it would be a long time yet before I was. At least it didn't take up any of my strings. In fact, it let me use all ten fingers for chakra strings again. -----Ironically, I still hadn't gotten any training done. But I planned to change that, since maybe it would speed up the process of learning to use the arm. -----I looked up at the arm, curling the fingers. It was strange, not having any sense of touch. I could feel my chakra running through it, but that was it. Because of that I couldn't hold a pen well enough to write with it. Larger things, such as my tanto were fine, but I was still working on the smaller things. Everyday objects, like a toothbrush, a fork, a knife... Some daily tasks were still difficult, and I'll just leave it at that. -----Drawing was the biggest issue, I think. My perfect memory did little to help me control my left hand. I was getting better, but it was frustrating enough that I'd actually burned a bunch of my pictures. -----One step at a time. -----And the first objective was to get some training done. With a sigh, I pushed myself out of bed and headed down the stairs and outside.

-----ι had to move outside because I didn't want to accidentally burn down the house performing techniques. I hadn't actually tried using anything beyond chakra strings since receiving the arm, so I moved well away from the house. -----It had been over two months since the last time I used any ninjutsu that wasn't a puppetry technique or one of my clan abilities. I almost wasn't sure I remembered how...which wasn't true because I had perfect memory. But I could only find out by testing it. To start, I got my chakra flowing. I moved it first to my left hand, since it was the hand I could properly feel. Then I moved it to my fake right hand. It was strange...After it reached the middle of my upper arm, all feeling vanished. I could still sense the chakra, but that was it. Just like every other time I'd tried, it was impossible to tell if I had proper control of my chakra at all. [Basic Training: Performance 1/3]
-----I started with a simple technique, one of the very basics we learned at the academy: Bunshin no Jutsu. The clone technique Letting my chakra flow freely again--which still required some concentration on my right hand--I brought my hands together in the hand sign required for the technique. To my pleasant surprise, it worked rather well. A clone of myself, arm included, formed out of thin air beside me. Checking it over quickly for imperfections, I dismissed it. [Basic Training: Performance 2/3]
-----I grinned like a toddler who was handed candy. The fact that the arm worked as well as it did made me ecstatic. I hadn't gotten to test its abilities yet, but this was a good sign, and soon I would be able to try them out. For good measure, I tried it again. I focused my chakra into each of my hands, first the left and then the right before trying to create another clone. I made three more clones, just to make sure the first wasn't a fluke.

-----ι took a couple minutes to relax my concentration. My arm couldn't feel pain, but the rest of me could feel the strain on my chakra. Part of the chakra training I'd done in the past was to learn to resist high chakra concentration, but that didn't make it any easier. Starting up again, I moved my chakra more quickly between my hands this time before trying a slightly more difficult technique, this time in the form of Shunshin no Jutsu. Focusing on a point not too far away from me, I made the hand seal required and stepped in its direction, moving instantly to that spot. [Basic Training: Performance 1/3]
-----This was good. Everything was working right so far. I clenched and relaxed the stiff fingers of the puppet arm. Reaction time using it would still be an issue, and I wasn't sure that was something that could ever be fixed. But it provided a defense with the strong materials it was made from and could be repaired if it was broken... unlike my real arm. Turning around, I quickly shunshin'd to the spot I'd started at. I relaxed my concentration again, and moved my chakra through all of my limbs. [Basic Training: Performance 2/3]
-----Taking a deep breath, I tried something a bit different. I tried the technique required for tree climbing and water walking to test the control of my chakra. Moving closer to one of the many thousands of trees on the island, I climbed up the tree--a bit clumsily, since, of course, I had no sense of touch in my right hand--and stopped on the lowest branch. Pushing chakra into only my right hand, I dropped down from the branch to hang below it using only chakra. I managed to hold it steady for all of about two seconds before I was forced to release and drop to the ground a couple feet below me. It was the first pang of disappointment I'd felt, but I knew it would get easier with time. [Basic Training: Performance 3/3] [Permanent +10 to Chakra and Stamina]

-----ι relaxed for a few minutes again, watching the joints of my puppet arm rotate as I curled the fingers, as I moved the wrist. Sighing I stood back up and moved away from the tree. I needed to try something bigger, something that drained more chakra. If there was a limit to what the arm was capable of, I needed to know. I focus chakra into my hands and quickly made the hand seals I needed then slammed both of my palms into the ground. The earth in front of me pulsed upward, forming a wall. [Intermediate Training: Performance 1/4]
-----This was already getting tiring. I hated how little stamina I had. I supposed I was technically still recovering from the events of the past couple months, but still. Standing straight, I let the wall dissolve. I pushed chakra into my hands again without pause and used the jutsu again, hitting the ground. A wall shot up out of ground again. I let it go a moment later, releasing my chakra as well. It was starting to get uncomfortable. Just a bit more and I could take a break. [Intermediate Training: Performance 2/4]
-----Direct manipulation worked alright. Now I needed to try projectiles. Gripping my right shoulder, I moved away from the trees, I faced a clearing. This time, I gathered the chakra in my lungs as I made the hand seals I needed. Breathing in deeply, I brought my right hand to my mouth and and emitted several small fireballs. They shot forward before dispersing about thirty feet away. I looked down at the hand, checking it for any sign of burning, but to my relief there were no marks. I figured not, since I'd never burned my real hand, but I needed to be sure, since I had no sense of touch. [Intermediate Training: Performance 3/4]
-----I decided this would be my last chakra training for the time being. It was wearing me out, and I already wasn't very strong. I hadn't been feeling all that great lately. Taking a few slow breaths, I focused chakra through my limbs and then into my lungs again. I ran through the hand signs, then took one last deep breath bringing my hand to my mouth. Six small fire balls shot forward, and, just like before, dispersed across the clearing. [Intermediate Training: Performance 4/4] [Permanent +15 to Chakra and Stamina]
-----I retreated to a nearby tree, taking a moment to recover. It was only then that I realized how hungry I was. I never got this way before I was aged, but I guessed it was because I was growing that I was so hungry all the time. Literally all the time. And yet, I'd still hardly gained any weight. Where was all that food going? There was no hope of finding anything to eat in the house. I'd been sleeping there again, but that was about it, and I didn't have the energy to go hunting. After a few minutes, I gave into hunger, and headed back inside to get my shoes and jacket. Retrieving both, I headed for the main land.

-----ι stumbled out of the tunnel that led to Jack's island, and could do nothing but stare around in disorientation at first. There were always such large gaps in time between the last time I'd been there that it always looked different by the time I got there. But now that I was alone, I had time to think, and thinking was a bad thing with everything that had just happened. I made my way into the forest and, eventually, to the house hidden within. Climbing the stairs to my room, I collapsed on the bed and was out before I even realized it.
--
-----A knock at the door. -----I sat at the table in the kitchen, doodling in an old sketchbook like always. A tree, this time, what I could see of it through the window. I heard the faucet turn and the water stop rushing against the metal sink, the light sound of a towel against flesh and footsteps as they made their way to the door. The squeal of an old hinge as the door was pulled open, and the sweet, familiar sound of my mother who wasn't actually my mother's voice. "Hello. Can I help you?" A stumble from the doorway, as my father who wasn't actually my father walked into the room from the living room. "E-excuse me!" -----She sounded distressed. That garnered enough attention from me to look up in time to see someone standing over me. A man, but no matter how hard I tried to look, his face was a dark shadow. A blank space in my memory. I never forgot anything, so why...? -----A massive hand wrapped around my neck and hauled me up out of the chair. My mother shouted somewhere behind him, but my gaze was fixed on eyes black as coals. I was scared, my hands grasping feebly at his arm. "Give it to me." Give it? What was 'it'? -----I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, numbness creeping up through my limbs and threatening to swallow me whole. -----A splatter of blood across the floor. A scream from my father, followed by a wet gurgle. I tried to call out, but my mouth felt heavy, coated in slim. A flash of light, the pulse of chakra, the reek of blood, the dripping of blood, a world too bright to be natural, surreal, no one will listen to you now. -----Darkness. -----[You're going to die! Tell me: Will you accept me?]
--
-----Surging chakra, smell of singed flesh. I felt like I was drowning and on fire at the same time. Writhing, trying to breath. Numb. I felt numb. What was happening? Knowing I was asleep but being unable to wake. Why couldn't I wake up? Panic, heart pounding and blood roaring. I couldn't see, couldn't hear, couldn't breathe.
--
-----[Are you alright?] -----It was the same high-toned voice from the forest, but... the words were more a feeling than anything. Shut up. Get out of my head. -----There was silence for a while, and I thought for a moment, it had actually listened. -----[You still do not accept me.] It wasn't a question. I could almost envision the creature, a mound of white slime with tiny, beady eyes and waggling arms. -----I don't want you here. Everything it your fault. -----[I had hoped your opinion could be changed.] [1/6]
-----Why? In the darkness, I turned to face the glowing light of the bijuu's white body. Six thick tails waved gently behind it. And, as unpleasant in appearance as it was, its presence was oddly... soothing. I didn't like it. If you weren't here, my parents would still be alive. -----Its toothless mouth curved down slightly. [I have been here your whole life, as short as it is.] It leaned forward slightly, eyeing me more closely. [I feel your blame should be placed elsewhere.] -----I got angry then. I'm alone because you couldn't protect me. If you've been here the whole time, why didn't you do anything? -----The bijuu stood straight again, and there was a long, frustrating pause before it said anything. [The seal is weakening.] [2/6]
-----What does that even mean? I glared up at the demon with tear filled eyes. -----A tail reached out toward me, and jabbed at my stomach, not hard enough to hurt but enough to make me stumble. I fell back on my rear, and tears spilled over. I squeezed my eyes shut, and covered my face in embarrassment. Its voice was gentle when it spoke. [A seal binds me to your body. After so long, it has weakened.] The tail retreated. [Were it weaker sooner, I could have helped. But this is why you can speak to me now.] -----I looked back up at the bijuu to meet a strangely sympathetic gaze. Why did the seal weaken? -----If it were possible for a giant slug to shrug, it managed it. [Time, perhaps.. If by some other means, I do not know.] [3/6]
-----I pushed myself carefully back to my feet, but kept my gaze downcast. Why help me? -----[Truthfully? Because I do not wish to die any more than you do.] My hands clenched into fists, but my gaze didn't shift. [Will you accept me?] -----Will you help me kill the man who killed my parents? -----Silence again, and I was forced to look up. The bijuu stared evenly back. [That is your decision to make. If it will prolong your life so that I may live, then yes. But...] Its bulbous head tipped to one side. [Will it truly make you happier?] -----That was the second time I had heard that. Sypher said the same thing. And I honestly didn't know. I... I want to become stronger... I want to be able to protect the people I love. -----[I see.] [4/6]
-----We stood silently for a while. I wasn't sure what to say to it, and it seemed to be patiently waiting for me to speak. But finally a great sigh came from it. [Will you accept me?] -----I glanced back up at the giant slug, frowning slightly. Do I have a choice? -----The creature chuckled. [There is always a choice, but unfortunately for you, the choices are limited. You could reject me, and risk me taking over. You could get me removed, but it would cost you your life. Or you could accept me and we could work together.] [5/6]
-----My gaze dropped to the 'ground' which was endless darkness. Whatever surface I was standing on, I didn't know. But that was the thing about the dream world. Little made sense. I swallowed, and hesitated as I spoke. I... I accept. I want to become stronger. But I can't do it by myself. I don't have Jack anymore... Who knows when he'll be back. I can't rely on him anymore. My gaze shot back to the Bijuu. I want your help to get stronger. -----A toothless grin spread across the slug's face. [Then I will do what I can. I am called Saiken, by the way.] -----I'm Shadow... But I'm sure you already know that. -----[Yes, but it is always good to hear it in person.] [6/6]
--
-----I woke with a start, jerking upright on my bed gasping for air. My skin felt like it was on fire still, but it was fading as the panic subsided along with the demon's chakra. I was drenched in sweat, hair plastered to the sides of my head, shirt clinging to my skin. I had been asleep, but I felt like I'd run for miles. -----As my racing heart calm, a sense of... rightness that I hadn't felt before settled over me. I felt like I had made the right decision and it calmed my fears. I looked to the side out the window. It was the dead of night, distant light pollution from the village all to light the otherwise black sky. There was no sense in trying to do anything but attempt a few hours of actual sleep until morning. I fell back on my bed, misjudging the distance between my pillow and the frame. My head whacked against it, sending a jolt of pain through my skull and down my spine all the way to the tip of my tail. Curling onto my side, I clutched the back of my head hissing a repetitive 'ow, ow, ow' until it ebbed a bit and I could think again. -----And of all things I laughed. Not all out, more of a scoff, but still the first laugh I'd had in a while. My turbulent mind was quiet for the first time in quite some time, and it made me feel relaxed. Releasing my head, I laid flat on the bed for a few minutes, staring out the window, before exhaustion took over again, and I drifted off strangely...happy.

-----Ash falling from the sky would be, in most places, either a cause for concern or merely another odd day in the life. In this place, the Lonely Island, Jack's original home and Shadow's current one, the world reacted to prove itself to be the latter. No one concerned themselves with his appearance, other than to wave, for the plants and animals here knew Jack longer than anyone else in the nation. They also knew that he would return, whether others doubted it or not. But Jack did not wave back, for the instant his feet touched the ground his mind...ruptured. The block of information erupted within him and bestowed upon him the technique he'd been looking for, called Tensa Fuin. Even as this information ploughed into his mind, Jack was taking out a pen and drawing upon his flesh, inking just above his heart a tattoo in the shape of a question mark, followed by taking a knife and carving what would be called a Tesseract. That done, his flute moved back to his lips, and he moved once more, though not before throwing nearly all of his chakra into a divided pool system. Tensa Fuin → 1/1 → Complete

-----Of the innumerable sayings and phrases both of wisdom and wit that existed in the world regarding the symbolic returning to of one's home, not a one fit the sensations that overcame the Mad Carney as he stood upon the cliff face that faced his home in the distance. Even here, the perpetual, powerful winds howled and gnashed, yet the rock face kept most of the noise to a calm murmur that a mere single step would end. The sun above cast the world into dazzling arrays of colors, from the blue-green of the ocean to the sun-bleached stones that created the rapids below; from the glisteningly green grass that carpeted this cliff and the terrain for over a mile to the opaque mist that surrounded his island in the distance. It reminded Jack of the beauty in all things, of that which he sought to capture and maintain above all else: Truth Absolute. Nature knew it as no mere human could, as even one with the power of a Sage could understand fully, and yet that only made it so much more desirable. An errant zephyr danced across his flesh, a gentle caress that seemed, to the pale Jonin, a welcoming of sorts. Beyond, his home had sat untouched and unseen by his own eyes for what was truly over a year's time, and part of him wondered if any of the denizens or defenses would still recognize him after so long a journey. While he had left for such lengths before, never had he returned so changed, so different than what he had been.
-----Looking down at his hands, Jack let his cane fall to the ground with a muffled thump, the soft earth under his feet absorbing the blow. Slowly, he bent to unlace his boots and stepped out of them, allowing the bottoms of his feet to feel the lushness of the life around him. And for but a moment, Jack allowed his soul to be graced by the power of his Sage chakra, just enough to change his eyes, till their facets became so much more pronounced, and his antennae grew in number. Such a connection with the world allowed him a focus, a sense, on the same level as his first Genin, and with it he caught the distortion in the universe that was his island, and the thousands, millions...the innumerable insects, arachnids, and animals that made up the ecosystem of his homeland. The wind became a song in his ear, each breath a taste of nectar that gods and spirits had fought and died for, and the sensation of the life beneath his feet? It was...glorious.
-----Yet the moment passed as such things tended to, as the clouds above slowly covered the sun and cast the world into a form of twilight, if only for a short time. It served its purpose, however, freeing Jack from the reverie and memories to ground him in the hear and now. Looking down once more at his hands, he knew what he needed to do, what had to be accomplished for his plans to be set in motion. Despite the host of Genin he was finding himself coming into control of, Jack would not forsake his vows, nor his goals. The world needed balance and Truth to come once more to a time of peace, and that would not happen with idle hands. Shaking the last of the dreamy stupor from his mind, the Jounin reached into his coat side and withdrew a quill and notepad, which seemed to oddly fit him somewhat. With this, he drew upon his memory, concentrating on the books he had read that had recognized key Fuuinjutsu theories, before beginning to sketch out the small lines of the Tebanasu Fuin. Carefully looking at that particular design, he tore off the page and placed it in a pocket, folded into eighths. [Tebanasu Fuin → E - rank → 1 // 1 :: Complete
-----The next was something similar in nature to what he did as a Peformance shinobi: translating jutsu into another form. Due to his wide selection of both Genjutsu and Ninjutsu within his repertoire, his training had taken on a kind of dual aspect: he could translate most of his techniques from their base forms into music, and through playing them, cast and create them. To do the same, but into something a bit more...physical? That was difficult, but the shinobi's mind worked fast. Looking down at his notepad once more, Jack drew an oddly shaped figure, something akin to Sypher's Nose pressed flat as a melon and rolled into spaghetti. Still, as he finished it, the Fuuinjutsu began to glow with a soft blue light, signifying that the jutsu was active. Smiling lightly, he looked down at the ground, and considered his next step. [Blood Artisan → C - rank → 1 // 1 :: Complete
-----The next part was far too easy, as he focused more upon the idea of shifting the fuinjutsu. Once set, such things never moved, not unless the original purpose of the technique allowed for mobility in some odd way. Yet with this concept, this change of thinking, such a problem would become...baseless. Concentrating on the chakra markers that hooked a Fuuinjutsu to a surface and purpose, Jack placed another pinpoint burst of chakra just below the surface of the art, and watched it pop free of the page from beneath his eyes. Lips spreading to a smile, Jack watched the jutsu move to the ground, where it glowed faintly, and vanished. [Sharing is Caring! → C - rank → 1 // 1 :: Complete
-----Flipping the page allowed Jack to reconsider his next movements. The next would be the cornerstone to all of his further jutsu and creations, to his future interactions and the way he did battle. It would change...everything. Never before had he seen the like as the jutsu that had formed in his subconscious the night he had awoken the power of the Sage within his soul. The day he recombined with his other self, fusing together once and for all. [ [Chain] Contingency → S - rank → 1 // 6 :: Incomplete
-----Raising his pen, Jack began to draw, but this time with considerably more care. What he wanted to do would take into account potentially hundreds, thousands of variables given time and effort. Yet even as he began to draw, Jack felt...something, a sense, perhaps, from the Sage senses he possessed. Something...told him to wait. That now was not the time to complete this drawing. Casting one last stroke upon the paper, Jack replaced his pen and notepad into his coat before slowly kneeling down and sitting upon his legs. [ [Chain] Contingency → S - rank → 2 // 6 :: Incomplete
-----It had been quite some time since he had last knelt here, watching the sun peak from behind the clouds and scour away the mist. Here he would wait for his Genin, sitting upon his legs, eyes closed as he felt for the island that lay beyond the waves. The island that was obscured by a dark grey mist that looked anything but natural, that, should anyone try and see or sense anything on the island, would appear to such people as an absence, a void in the universe. Such was the home he had made, and it was here he would take his students.

-----Time had passed, and yet no Genin had arrived. Could it be that the former had somehow intercepted the latter, steering him away from his mentor in a vain attempt at revenge for Jack's petty castration? Possibly, but the jounin doubted it, as the male seemed the type who would more likely complain to a higher up than confront him directly. Without realizing it, he was already feeding his chakra into his seals, though of course it was already refilling from his meditation. Each breath of air brought him closer to the source of his Truth, his balance that was in line with that of the universe's. Each moment that passed filled his seals higher, and each breath brought him a peaceful joy that nothing on this plane of existence could. Yet this was not to last, as he opened his eyes and realized that as an instructor, he had no plans, nothing to prepare for his coming students. So, instead of remaining still, the jonin touched the ground where he saw his Fuinjutsu placed, and activated it, connecting it with his own chakra. Smiling, he returned to his kneeling position, and back to his meditation.
