Kurama growled at her and before he could say anything, Rajikaru spoke up as she said, “You don’t understand at all. You have been instructed with one simple task. Sit and contemplate. There is such thing as overdoing it and just because that kage is a bitch, doesn’t mean you have the right to take a crap on what she is trying to teach not just by disobeying her once, but twice now. Drop the sand and I will be taking you from here on out. She has a city to run anyway. Buckle up and prepare to bleed…” She growled menacingly.
Kurama sighed and shook his head as he said, “I will stick around, just so she doesn’t tear you to shreds.” -
Orochimaru and Ryū made sure to cut around the main base in order to take a faster route back to Otogakure. Despite the new and weakened frame, Ryū had tried to help prop him up the entire way back. She wore herself out but managed the whole way back. She felt her insects eating at her and she shook from the weakness. Once they got to the main base she fell to her knees and coughed out a good chunk of blood. Orochimaru looked at her and knew he had messed up a little somewhere but it would be better for her in the long run. He was feeling a bit better and he picked her up and placed her onto a table, strapping her arms and legs down. Ryū looked at him as she watched, her saying, “What’s… happening?”
Orochimaru shook his head as he placed an IV into her arm with the standard saline solution, he’d stolen medical equipment for in Otogakure. He spoke silently, “The body I procured was an Akamichi body…” He grabbed a syringe with a nutrient mix to inject into it. Then he took and prepared normal food.
Ryū thought for a moment and said, “The fuck?! An Akamichi?! You do know what they need, right?! No wonder I have been feeling weak.”
Orochimaru nodded and then said, “I picked the easiest body to start with and didn’t realize until they started thinning a bit too fast.” He cut it up then placed it over a nearby burner to heat it up. He then went over to her and looked over the body to try to figure out if there was more of a way to help her. He decided to try an find something to inject fat just so the body could equal itself out in time. He moved to go find one of the animal pens, them not really doing so well in his section so he would have to keep her there. He went to her and said, “This should keep you alright until I can get what will sustain you for a while.”
Ryū looked at him and said, “I trust you… I don’t care what you put me through… You are of a time before and I trust you.”
Orochimaru did not understand that and took a syringe with a milligram of sleep poison and injected it into the IV then took off to go to the base of the robed figure.
Ryū felt it enter and she fought the sleep. She took deep breaths and wriggled in the straps and grit her teeth just to attempt to stay awake until he returned. -
Tamekaze was proud up until she began working out again. She gave her a cold glare and ignored the request. Upon the asking for forgiveness, she shook her head. She started to walk out of the den as she spoke, “Kurama, take her to someone who can put up with insolence… Please sir…” She continued out and made sure she was out of sight but just sitting outside trying to calm her own rage.
Kurama flopped his ears down and looked at Jane as he said, “She is a hard ass on tradition. You do what your teacher says, no more or less unless requested or you are deemed a hopeless case. All you are going to do is kill yourself and she is attempting to train you properly and you have rejected it.” He wrapped his tails around himself. He was just as angry.
Tsukiakari then spoke up and said, “Daddy… different world…” She padded out into the sand to go comfort Tamekaze.
Rajikaru finally came out of her corner and looked at Jane. She was growling as she stayed a distance from her as if shunning her because of her father choosing her to be in. She’d watched, just didn’t make herself known. -
Tamekaze watched vigilantly and attempted to make sure that everything moved fluently. She then noticed the sweat and took a deep breath as she picked up a layer of sand and layered her own skin with it. She let it blend into her natural colors and spoke, “Soon, as Shukaku recovers, you will feel your reserve gaining. He will assist you in your sand control and it will give you the absolute defense. For now, sit and meditate. Think about what you must do. Think of what you will do. Think of what you can do. Draw a line in your mind to paint the picture of where you want to be.” She herself took a horse stance as her hands opened flat, her thumbs on her palms as her fingers rolled into fists. She brought it in as a second layer took its form around her and shifted to color, her chakra showing out past the sand as it manifested in a sandy color.
-
Tamekaze waited for her, during the three hours having her legs folded and meditating. She let her Chakra settle from the force that had entered and then left. She pushed it to her flesh and then pulled it back in, slowly and evenly with her breathing. She felt it come out and in as she let it flow. As it came up, the sand around her raised and pulled to her as she worked it. Towards the end she was in a ball of sand and she let it disperse from her as she heard Jane’s voice again. She stood up and said, “Alright. If you are ready, I want you to form a ball of sand in your hand.” She crossed her arms and awaited.
Orochimaru and Ryū didn’t stick around for the full three hours, heading back to the land of sound in a slow walk, both of them placing their masks back on before leaving. She was even helping him this time just to make sure they could do some training when they returned.

The robed figure had lead Haruso through the tunnels back to the main base, not even stopping to take a break in a side base. It had taken them much longer to get there than it took to get to the sand in the first place. By the time the robed figure passed by Haruso’s room, he just kept going, knowing Haruso would most likely just go in and pass out. He wanted to do the same. So he went to his room and passed out nearly immediately.
The next morning, the robed figure wore a black fabric mask instead of the Oni mask as he moved about. He ended up collecting eggs from the live chicken they had in the bases animal collection, taking them and moving to the main fireplace and setting up a metal stand with a sheet of metal on top of it. He laid the eggs down and took out a small canister of soft butter he had made himself. He used a finger to spread it onto the sheet and then put the home made butter aside. His fingers then grasped the eggs and cracked the first one on the edge of the plate then placed it onto the greased area. He moved over to a pig he had most of the meat cleaned from in the coldest part of the cave, using a kunai to cut off strips of meat and bring them over to the metal.
He placed them onto the metal in the corner, them sizzling as they hit the hot butter. He had to stop to rub his forehead a moment, his body still not fully replenished from the previous day. He sighed as his true vocal pattern was unhindered. He whispered to himself as he got the rest of the eggs in different places and had the first one off when it was fully cooked with a kunai. He got out a clay plate and placed it onto it. He made sure the rest got off when it was ready without burning it. He had two eggs set for Haruso and two for himself and two strips for each of them. He then removed the plate and set it to the side to let it cool off. He then placed a kettle on the rack for it to warm up, it had water already in it. He placed some chamomile and catnip with some flavor herbs. He took it off when it was boiled and poured a cup for him and a cup for himself. He then sat himself down and pulled the fabric up to his mouth and used a kunai to cut and eat with, hoping Haruso would come out on his own. -
The robed figure stood but not until she woke. He walked to go follow his pupil into the one tunnel and found him there as he said, “Jentokasai… You handled that very well.” If he was allowed, he gave a gentle tap onto Haruso’s shoulder and then began to walk back to the base, subtle shaking on his hands. He was worn out. He walked and was using the wall to prop himself up and seemed to be getting weaker as he walked.
Orochimaru put himself against the wall and slid down holding his head. Ryū went over to him and sat down next to him. She’d heard Haruso but her concern was on Orochimaru. She placed her hands onto his temples even though he kept batting her hands away. She gently rubbed them. Orochimaru ended up relaxing then, her smiling at him.
Tamekaze managed her way to Jane and sat down next to her, she decided to be the one to answer her questions. Her voice was dark for a woman as she said, “It was done. He is inside and will leak chakra to you as he heals. You will be taught by me until he has the strength to talk to you. Alright?” She held her hand out, which was shaking like a leaf.
The other kages tried to gather up their things and head back to their lands before anyone knew they were gone. -
The creature was about to swipe again but had to stop as its tufts caught on fire. It yelped and rolled around, catching the walls on fire before it disappeared into a puff of unsummoning. The walls remained on fire though and it was starting to spread. Mr Haruno managed to come down and saw the fire before he said, “What the hell happened?! Nevermind! Muri?! You go get the students and escourt them down the far stairway. And… Early acceptance, you run up and tell anbu to get off the top floors and then get out as fast as you can and alert any on the way out. I will try to put out all the flames.” He focused his chakra into his fist and punched at some of the spreading flames, creating a vaccum and putting that little bit out.
-
The robed figure went over to Jane as they had both accepted. He cut off some of the straps and pulled the chains around her top. He then ripped her shirt off, trying to get this done quickly as possible for both of their sakes. Orochimaru and the four kages got around the body and looked at Shukaku, who moved himself closer and sat ready and waiting. Kurama turned his head away from the on-goings and even shielded his daughter’s eyes. The five who were around the body focused with different signs, Orochimaru taking snake, Tamekaze taking tiger, Rirī using monkey, Tokusan using dog, and Shinjitsu using horse. As they did so, Shukaku’s chakra became visible and he split apart a bit. The chakra went into the ring that they had formed then they focused it into the center at the robed figure. He thrust his hand onto Jane’s chest and the chakra that was the being of Shukaku was forced into her. Once the energy left the ring, the kages had to take a step back and catch their breaths. Orochimaru took a step back as well but instead of breathing hard, rubbed his forehead as if he had a severe headache. The robed figure got the rest of it in and signed with his other hand, nicking the tips of his fingers open with the horns on his mask on both hands then placing all ten fingers around where the being had been forced in. The seal formed in that area and made the chakra condense into her body to be sealed until it could be released for her use.
Ryū was in awe of this and had tried to follow it but the pain inside was still distracting her. She looked at Haruso and said, “Take it you got that?” She bit her lip in saying that, still tripping over it. She blushed a bit and looked back towards Jane and hoped she was alright.
Kurama uncovered his little one’s eyes then looked as he sighed. “He chose this…”
Orochimaru then looked to Haruso and said, “Yeah.. I am alive…”
The kages started to catch themselves, it had been a while since they did something to that level. -
The robed figure looked at the girl and heard her question, taking it in and holding it off as he looked to the others, “You may remove your masks as of this moment… For the sake of not causing a great disagreement, I will keep mine on.” He then waited for the others in order to respond to her. Orochimaru removed his mask, pulling down his purple hood. Ryū followed in suit and removed her mask and even though she had a different face, she let her kikaichu come from her hands to show who she was to them.
The four that had joined them seemed about to do so too. One of them removed their hood to show blue hair with black parts in it, a raven tone prevalent against a female form. The mask had blue swirls around it and a water feel to it. As the mask was removed, a serious face revealed with a pair of hunters eyes as Rirī showed her true face.
Next the tallest removed his hood, yellow spikes in his head as dark skin was revealed. He removed a mask of yellow harsh lines, showing a strong face with a tattoo on his jaw of a peace symbol. This was Tokusan, the Raikage.
The next revealed was a smaller male, the hood revealing a lion pelt upon his head and the brown strong mask revealing a black mask beneath, the eyes being shown only. This was Shinjitsu, the Tsuchikage.
The last removed her hood to show flowing red hair, the wind catching it. Her green mask with wisps removed to show a stern face, no eyebrows to be seen. She had a teal eye color and a small mouth. This was Tamekaze, the Kazekage.Shukaku looked at them and smiled, he was happy they all came. He then looked to the faces that were shown and said, “I love this group…”
“Shut up,” Kurama smirked at Shukaku and then said, “Go home, you’re drunk…”
Shukaku laughed at him.The robed figure made sure everyone had made their choice and said, “Do you accept his life as yours?” He directed that at Jane. He also looked to Shukaku and said, “Do you trust this human with your life?” Shukaku gave him a deep nod.
-
Shukaku listened to it all and the last bit made him smile. He raised his head as he felt something nearing. Kurama felt it too and went back to his human form and darted out of the den. He ran to the edge of a tunnel that was closer to Sunegakure then the den was.
The robed figure lead the group and as he was about to pass Kurama, he turned and ran beside him. He said to him, “Still alive?”
Kurama nodded and said, “Barely. She’s ready.”
The robed figure had a hidden smile. Orochimaru made sure to keep up with them as they burst out of the tunnel, him ready to help with what was going to be done. Ryū was thinking about what had been done and kept up. Shortly behind their group, three others appeared and were heading to the den as well, all of them wearing black robes with hoods and different masks, another joining from seemingly Sunegakure.
They would only stop once they reached the den and all were inside, including the stumbling little Tsukiakari. The robed figure did a low bow to Shukaku. Orochimaru just nodded his head. Ryū found a wall and gripped onto it. She looked at Jane and just sort of waved. -
The creature bounded over the railing but its claws gripped the rails. The most the Hyuuga’s eyes would see was that it’s system was certainly a summon that was of a Yin release base. It’s dark chakra was binding some of the important points. It looked down at what would now be a little flittering fireball and pounced back up to the half stairway to get back to the now bigger target. It walked slowly and angrily towards the mini Hyuuga, it’s chakra showing a sharp burst of anger.

He would begin to run to keep at pace with Haruso, impressed with the slight modification to the mask. He heard the request and processed it as he said, “When we return, I will teach you it.” He looked behind them as steps were coming up and then back forward. “Part of the team has arrived.”
Orochimaru, wearing the purple cloak and snake mask over his normal outfit, caught up with rather ease as he carried his student on his back wearing the same outfit but with a black widow mask. Orochimaru slowed down to run beside them as his mask changed his voice more a more silent hiss, “This is going to take too long.”
The robed figure looked back at him and said, “He is doing fine, put your student down.”
Orochimaru sighed and let Ryū loose, her stumbling at first but then catching back up in a small sprint before she tried to keep at pace with them. Ryū looked at them then kept forward, her breath through her mask sounded like bugs crawling. Her swarm from her old body just caught up to them and used the palms of her hands to burrow into since they couldn’t find her neck. She hissed as it happened but she was glad to have her swarm back. She was trying to figure out the one next to the robed figure and the robed figure and said, “Take it the elder is the boss?”
Orochimaru nodded and said, “The other is your teammate, say hello later.” -
Shukaku smiled at her then lost it. He nodded and said, “We can be resealed…”
“But we do not know if it will work,” Kurama interrupted then continued, “We’ve had some looking into it. Just we may have an answer soon.”
Shukaku nodded and said, “Hopefully…” He laid completely down.
Kurama bounded over and pushed him to get up, “No the hell you don’t!” He made sure Shukaku got back up.
Shukaku stood then said, “I am alright… how about I finish the story… We all were released… Living and guarding places we hold close… Or just roaming… I picked here… Kurama picked the leaf…”
“Which is no good,” Kurama said and then snarled, “The current Uzamaki is a moron…”
“Wasn’t yours?” Shukaku questioned.
Kurama sighed and said, “Not like this… it is a disgrace…” -
Orochimaru knew it would take too long and he turned his head to the wobbling woman beside him as he said, “Get onto my back and I will run us there.”
Ryū looked at him and she blinked beneath the mask as she said, “Alright…” She hopped up onto his back and held on, nibbling at the food bag.
Orochimaru took off at full speed through the tunnels and made sure to hold onto her tight. He made sure they would get to the base in record time. Ryū watched the walls whir by and nibbled as she held onto him. She asked, “Side trip?”
Orochimaru smirked and said, “None really.”
Ryū thought and said, “Then why are we still underground?”
“It is much faster,” He spoke with sheer truth in his voice. He knew he was heading towards a different area that was connected to his village that just happened to be on the way to the Land of Wind. He made sure they would either meet up with, or end up following part of her team that would be showing up.
