The calling of the chosen. KANTO GROUP JOINS!

Kaji shrugged at xaviers words and his finger snapped making another chair come up even before Gen’s arrival into the room at his left. He let out a yawn and stood up. He walked to his right and stood the chairs followed as if pulled by a force they lined up in a single line. Kaji looked away from them as he began to speak.

”First i will tell the benefits of this. Then i will tell the drawbacks. Then you will choose either embrace “it” or die...”

Kaji waited for a moment and soon a screen began to fall from the ceiling and it stood before kaji he tapped his foot and a projection occurred and showed each member with there names on it and there picture. Even the girl who had tagged along was up there. He then turned around to look at them all he then began to speak.

”The people on that projector. Learn there names learn there face and remember. They are your friends nothing else. If i catch anything unfriendly or mean. You will get hurt. Now you might wonder why im not up there. I am not your friend. I am your sensei your teacher and your boss not your freind. You can talk to me. I don't guarantee i’ll listen.”

He tapped his foot as he got antsy he then spoke again The benefits of this group is you will receive a sword and one lesson from me as i see fit. You will get something that will unlock your potential to its fullest. However to get these things you must be willing to open your mind to me let me control when i deem it fit. My seal will be placed onto you and i can my powers to take control of you and save you or help you. If you also try to betray me you’ll end up killing yourself.”

Kaji’s voice was dead serious as he opened his left eye it throwing off intent that showed he wasn't bluffing. The eye would throw fear into them and hopefully bring them to there knees. Kaji walked towards them each time his boot hitting the floor it echoing in the massive room.

”Now are you going to let me? Or am i gonna have to kill some of you...?”

Xavier listened to their "leader's" words. He needed to be friendly? he asked himself in his head. Y of course he did, thats what he had gotten himself into. Wait swords? Hmm maybe i could play along at least for a while.

he merely shifted in his chair and spoke with a confident voice, he knew that this seal could easily be the end of him if he ever were to mess up.

"Im willing to join."

he looked at kaji with no emotion shown, no fear. He couldnt help but feel slightly fearful, but he would in no way show it to a higher ranked ninja than he.

he wanted this power more than anything, maybe then people will take better care not to make him mad. He would gain some of the respect he deserved.

Suddenly Gen spoke up. He could, after all, see the possible futures of each person who made the decision to be a part of the group, being that they become directly involved in the future of his life.

"Sir, this one's futures are filled with... betrayal. He doesn't seem to believe the cause, but desire the power..."

He thought for a moment, scanning the visions. They weren't things he was liking, but as he spoke many of them shifted and changed.

"I feel... if he is accepted by you, sir, that he may betray our cause if given the chance. However, the knowledge of the consequence of betrayal may keep him here. I just recommend you keep your eyes on him, as I will keep my ears. ... Oh, and one last thing; he may never become friends with the rest... just a side note."

Gen's visions were never 'wrong,' but he couldn't tell the future either. He could only tell what he saw as possible, every possibility for the future, it was hard to filter through them, but he had learned to over time. It was like seeing all the universe from every point of view simultaneously.

As Kai sat in his seat next to Kaji, his words reached him with his full roar. The idea of someone controlling him was not something that he feared nor would he shy away from. Through his whole life, Kai had been "used" for his abilities which made him a key to almost any team. Surely Kaji would know that Kai would have no objections as he would do almost any request at his command.

Kai's goals seemed to be very different compared to the others yet it brought their paths very close in similarities. As Kaji announced that they would only learn one lesson, Kai wanted more. Kai would stay with Kaji as long as he could but knew that their paths would separate in due time.

Kai said and did nothing as Kaji waited for everyone's answer and was sur ethat Kaji would already know his decision.

As Kaima heard from this man that he would recieve special training, and that he would have to make a choice, everything else faded out around him as he thought. His head bent over, and his hands on his knees, he felt like sighing loudly, but he didn't have a working voice box. He thought a bit about his life in Konoha, and his few friends that he had made there. He thought about his peaceful living as an artist, and how joining this group would likely make all that go away. This made Kaima almost completely happy, these everyday things that he did.

However, he always had something missing inside of him. A calling. With his unique power, he had never done many dangerous missions, or fought a lot at all. Maybe his being unable to speak didn't set off a big alarm, but Kaima wanted a lot more of three things. Those three things being power, danger, and respect. He already had friendly respect, but he wanted something more. He wanted to be marked down in history for his talents. He wanted to overpass the one called Sai. Kaima had a special bloodline that allowed him to draw things into the air, and have them solidify, or even turn explosive. With that extra boost of power, he would surely be distinguished from any other ink user.

Kaima had made his decision. If this man, Kaji Kanto, would help him achieve his goal of becoming stronger, and let him have some fun along the way, he would most definitely be joining this mercenary like group. Kaima took out a speech scroll from the left side of his hip, then set it across his lap. These abilities helped with him being mute and all, but it was still slightly annoying to have to do this all the time. As he finished his set of words, he decided on a harmless animal to present it. On the very bottom center of the page, he drew a small penguin. This was one of the only animals that would come out in almost full color, being only black and white. As kaima waved his hand over the page, a penguin oozed out very quickly onto the ground. It looked around, then began speaking. "I am willing to join the group, and I swear that I will not betray this team."

Kaima crushed the small penguin with his foot, for now it had nothing else to do/say.

As the members of the group had been making up thier minds, a small boy walked up behind Kaji, was a little boy. This boy wore all green. His hair was blonde and he heled a sword and a shield. The boy looked normal, he didn't even look like a ninja. The matter of the fact was, that this boy had something else to him. It was like, a light would shine off of him, it showed he had power. Not only that, but he also had something more. He seemed as if he was an angel in hiding, but that was not the case. Nonetheless, he had something to him, that no one could put thier finger on. Not even the man with the ability to see through the others, could see anything about this one. The boy just smiled, like he did not know what was going on. He did not even talk.

He looked around at the ninja around him. He smiled at them, and laughed. He seemed a very playful child, and he did not know any of them, but it seemed as he was not one bit scared of them. He walked over to Gen and looked at his eyes. In his mind something sparked, but this spark will not be used till later. This boy had a power sealed inside him, this a power, people were overwhelmed by. He could not use this power, until it was unlocked. This power would have to be unlocked. But as of now, he was a normal boy, with a bright furture.

Soon, Kyuusaisha walked back to the name known as Kaji. He looked at him and saw something he did not like, but he could not fix, at the moment. He kept looking at him, like something was wrong with Kaji, his smile was even gone. But it soon came back and he opened his arms and gave Kaji a hug. This was unaccpeted, very much so. A child would never dare hug Kaji, and Kyuusaisha, still held on. He would not let go, this kid seemed mad. He looked up to Kaji and smiled. In Kaji's mind, he could hear the words, "I love you, my child."

The darkness gave away to glaring light, in Kumori's eyes. Standing there, crawling in the dark, watching as one by one, powerful Shinobi assembled in the room. Their power was enough and numerous so that he could feel it. Their chakra and auras all so close together made it easy to sense all of them. He did feel a little intimidated by all of the different people standing the room, but he himself was a part of them. He had heard all of the words that the man spoke, and needed to carefully take all of those words to heart. ”Despite how much I would despise being a tool of his, if he can just take me under his control at any time, but if I don't agree to it, I'm going to die. He's strong enough to defeat me as it is, plus his followers will destroy me as well. There's no other option to take, I'm simply going to have to side with him.” Kumori thought to himself. He gritted his teeth. He hated the thought of being just a tool to this man, whose ambitions were completely unknown to Kumori, but he did not want to die in a place like this. This was the only way.

He got onto his feet, and began to make his way out of the shadows. Right behind Kaji Kanto, Kumori walked out of the darkness, his boots clanging as he walked, his hands at his side, walking all slow and such. He then stood about five feet away from Kaji, at his upper right, behind Kaji. He kept on walking, appearing where Kaji could see him, he looked at him, and then announced his allegiance to him. ”I heard all of it, and I'll agree to it.” He said out loud to Kaji, giving him a stern look, letting him know he was not comfortable in this situation. However, he knew better than to speak out against him, and get himself killed, so he would hold true to his words. ”I look forward to working with everyone.” He said next, though that was a bit of a lie. He really did not want to work with any of these characters. They all looked, out of the ordinary.

Then, a screen popped out of the ceiling, and displayed all of the faces of the members and their pictures. When Kumori appeared out of the shadows, his name, and his picture, was displayed suddenly. He was shocked. ”That bastard, he invaded my mind, and got my name? Chances are, he knows more than that. He probably looked at my entire resume. I can't believe this guy expects us to put our faith in him. He's definitely not the trustworthy type. But, if I leave, I'm going to die, no doubt. Dammit, why did this have to happen? Why the hell am I here? I haven't even spent a few minutes under his servitude and I already want to rip out his guts for doing this to me.” He thought to himself. The people in the room closest to him, including Kaji, could probably feel his anger, but he managed to keep a straight face as he talked.

"The benefits of this group is you will receive a sword and one lesson from me as i see fit. You will get something that will unlock your potential to its fullest. However to get these things you must be willing to open your mind to me let me control when i deem it fit. My seal will be placed onto you and i can my powers to take control of you and save you or help you. If you also try to betray me you’ll end up killing yourself.”

At this Akihime instantly changed back and almost let out a snarl, but controlled herself. This man... he is strong. In my current state I can not save Aki from him. But... he doesn't know about us. And I intend to keep it that way. Aki could use the training... I have taken over her fighting abilities too much. Akihime let out a mental sigh, debating whether or not she should just make a run for it or let Aki train under the young man. She blocked her thoughts from Aki again.

Akihime crossed her arms, letting her feet touch the ground. [color=red]If I were to allow her to train under this man... she could become strong. Perhaps strong enough to not need my help so much. But... if he controls her... Akihime's brow furrowed in annoyance. This man was good. Very good. And to top it off... a seal. If it were some kind of binding jutsu, she was sure she get the elders to get rid of it or do it herself... but a seal? A seal... that was irreversible.

Just what was she going to do?

Aki sighed in annoyance. Akihime's so strange now... I know she does it for my best interest but... She sighed again. Akihime... what are you planning? I need this. You know that. I need to become stronger. And... besides, he doesn't know about you! You're great at blocking minds and stuff, you could hide your existence from him! Come on Akihime... Aki half begged, hoping it would get through the barrier between them.

There wasn't an answer. With a small sigh Aki resumed her role of scouting out the others and attempted to feel their emotions, vague as it was.

---

Shikama's face was blank. He didn't know how to take this. He silently let out a long breath. If I were to comply with his wishes... there's no doubt I would become much stronger. But then I do not know if I can still carry out my goals. If this man were to... Shikama shook his head irritably. This was a very confusing and tricky deal. If he were to accept, he would gain new powers... at the cost of losing a part of his freedom. Freedom that he needed.

And this would no doubt lead to his secret being revealed. A grim smile crossed his face for once. What would that man do if he were to know that he was Hatake Obito? Or that he was a vampire? Shikama shook his head again. No. There was no way that man would ever learn that. At most, he would learn he was Hatake Obito. Shikama glanced at the girl he had meet only a few minutes ago. Would she tell him? No... of course not. It was a secret her people guarded.

Shall I accept? He thought over the deal once more. He would gain a sword from a legendary swordmaker and he would receive some training as well. However, he would be placed with a seal. A seal that allowed the man to control him as he saw fit and when needed. He weighed the advantages against the disadvantages. Was it really worth it? Giving up a part of his freedom and secrecy?

---

Akihime bit her lip slightly. The advantages and disadvantages were so even... So close. She hated this young man. He who had led them into a trap of a sorts. A very tricky trap and offered a very tricky deal. What should she do? Let Aki be trained as a human to become stronger... or insist that becoming a vampire was the key to her survival? She wished it was the later. But she knew the truth. Vampire or not, Aki needed the training. And if the man ever did try to control her, well she could always take over. After all, the seal was on Aki's body, not her's.

A smirk crossed her face. Yes. That was her answer. If needed, she would take over and the man would have no control over Aki... well he wouldn't be able to get her to do what he wanted at the least. But it just irked her a bit that they still appeared to be the only females in the group, but she let that wash over her. If any of them were idiotic enough to play around with Aki she would take over and... feed. Or scare the hell out of them. She sighed and lowered the barrier between them slightly.

I've... decided that you may train under this man. But you must never let him know of me. Never. And I will block the part of your mind that links you and I together. If he asks of it, merely tell him you have a memory problem. Understand? My existence is the key to your survival. Make sure that none of them know of me. Akihime looked Aki directly in the eyes, holding her gaze. The gaze of a vampire was demanding and painful to look at for long periods of time.

Aki looked back at her nodded. Akihime... I'm not stupid. I know that. And... I would never tell anyone about you. Never. Now let me have control again. Quickly. Akihime nodded and gave her control again. I'm going to miss our connection though... It's not going to be like before is it? she asked sadly, knowing the answer.

No... It won't be like before. I can't stay completely connected to you or else he may know if he can access your mind as he says he can replied Akihime, quietly, sadly. "I... accept," said Aki quietly, stepping out from the shadows so that they could all see her.

---

Shikama let out another long breath. He had to do this... And he needed this to be over soon. If it reached six o'clock pm then his true identity would be revealed. He didn't need people here to know he was Hatake Obito... yet. Nor did he need them to know about his... bloodthirst. Shikama licked his lips at the thought of blood.

He heard the girl answer. With a small smile, he too stepped from the shadows. "I... accept as well," he replied, his voice sounding more and more feminine like.

Kaji smirked as he watched kumori appear and agree. Kumori was just a body he had picked up only 2 hours before this meeting. It was just to easy he knew everything about them and it just made him laugh.His laugh was dark and decrepid as it was cold and icy. It crossed each of there minds with such ease that it would show them a glimpse of what they would feel in a matter of moments.

Kaji stopped the laugh when he felt the embrace of a child. It shocked him and made him shiver as he looked down to see the young kid holding onto him. Then he heard the message in his head and it made him shiver. This kid was so differemt then anyone he had met the only person who could withstand his new abilities in seishin and with what he did grasp he did not understand. It made him wonder of what he held. However it still ditn matter to him he picked up the kid by the head and looked at him his smile on his face his eyes still close and he spoke. ”Kyuusaisha just becasue your the medic dosent give you the right to touch me.... Kaji then threw the child off and towards kai.

Kaji then looked at each of them they were staying he knew it. He yawned and looked at gen and then at kai. ”You guys remeber how to place the seals correct? The bloods in the desk over there you should remeber.”

Kaji then yawned as he walked over to the female and stood beside her. ”I know who you are aki.... I expected you from the start to be here. Im not gonna do anything to you and if they try to pull anything just tell me got that...”

Kaji then stood back up and yawned as he looked around hoping to see the sealing process being started. He then spoke as he appeared behind Kaima....

”Now you hold my hand and try to think your thoughts to me... i dont need you wasting your chakra on that stupid penguin shit you just pulled.”

Kaji held out his hand and he used his own mind to open kaima’s seishin receptor just a little bit so he could use his thoughts to comminucate with people. After that was done he nodded and told kaima ”You can now broadcast your thoughts to people. This isnt your one lesson just a small gift cause that penguin annoys the crap outta me.”

Kaji then yawned and pulled out a scalpel and a beaker. ”Now fill that up with your blood” Kaji watched as Kaima did so and he then took the beaker and he spat his own blood into the beaker and swooshed it around a bit.

He then pulled out a small brush and took some of the blood mixture and drew KG onto kaima’s neck and he then placed his hand on the Kg and muttered something ”Seal! Instantly the mark burned into Kaima’s flesh The seal was placed Kaima was the first to have the seal of the Kanto group and this was the time in wich he would enjoy.

Kaji yawned and dissapeared to watch kai and Gen work on the others. He eyed each of them and smirked as they all soon were sealed.

OOC: I know i know it would take to long to seal everyone indidually so were skipping ahead 2 hours. Evryone but Kyuusaisha gets the seal

Kaji stood again before them and he cracked his knuckles. He snapped his fingers and the chairs all sunk into the ground again. He looked at them as they all stood up. He yawned as he looked at them ”Ok time to test you suckahs... Come at me now.”

Kumori did not want to look at Kaji at all during the sealing. It was a hideous thing to have been done to him, but it was over now. He didn't feel any different than he was, though he bled a little, it was all good, he had the mental stability to withstand pain a little. He was sealed by the one called Kai Musouka. He looked just like a child, but obviously, Kaji trusted him. He did not complain during the sealing. Next, Kaji hit them with the next bomshell. This place was already filled with too much tension for Kumori. Everybody was entering a new world, a world of servitude, under the demonic figure of that pale blue haired man. Kumori despised him, but he knew better than to rebel. He simply stuck out. Kumori heard Kaji tell them to come at him. That probably meant that all of them should attack him. ”He's pretty confident in himself if he thinks that he can fend off everybody in the room. All of us, are abilities must be able to defeat him. He can't be that strong.” He thought to himself.

The chairs sunk into the ground again, forcing them to stand up. Kumori did not really know what he wanted to do. He felt no need to actually attack him. ”This guy read my entire mind most likely. He knows my name, so he probably needed to get into my head to get that out of me. He already knows our strengths and our weaknesses. He doesn't need to test any of us by having us fight him. Then again, I don't know the extent of his mind reading powers. He might not know my actual skill level. In any case, he said for us to come at him. The only sensible action to take is to just as he says.” Kumori thought to himself as he pulled out one of his wakizashi like swords, and without dipping it into his poison, as that would be simply stupid, he threw it into the air, spiraling through the air like a fan, it then came back down, and Kumori caught it by the hilt. That showed just how much skill he had with that thing for starters.

He ran up to the man who had ordered him to come at him, his Wakizashi in his right hand, he leaned his right side of his body towards his enemy slightly, taking a sprawling position again, he held his other arm near his ninja pack, which was strapped to him securely. He swung the blade from right to left, attempting to cut through his side. He was aware that this was simply a test, but he simply could not resist a chance to try and hurt this man. He had finally gotten the chance he wanted to try and hurt him, even if it was a test. He probably knew that, too.

”Tell me your name.” Kumori said outright, with a serious tone.

As Kai walked around the room and placed the seals on everyone else, he squinted each time, regretful of the pain that he was causing them. When atlast he was finished, Kai peered over at the boy who was only two years younger than he. As he looked him over, he could see that his abilities did not coincide with jutsu. To add to his strangness, the boy seemed to be a level 5 which made Kai a bit uneasy around him. Why does he not have a seal... He was announced by Kaji to be the medic of the team but would be mostly unneeded. With Kai's own medical jutsu, and now this boy's strange medicine, there would hardly be any reason for anyone to die in battle.

”Ok time to test you suckahs... Come at me now.”

At those words, many of the people jumped back or charged at him with all their force. Kai simply took a position behind everyone else on the opposite side of the room and began making his hand signs. With his little knowledge for fighting, his only purpose here would be to help the others.

As Kai's body produces chakra at a faster rate than he can use up, his body constantly releases a steady flow of chakra around him. But as he finished the jutsu, all the extra chakra flowing around him began forming into strings that stretched out and connected with each of his new teammates.

"Fukyuuken" (Eternal Bond)

As each chakra string was now connecting Kai to his team, all of them would be able to feel ten times stronger. With this ability, ecah of them would have access to his own massive chakra source, making them faster, stronger and just plain powerful.

Spoiler:

Name of ability: Fukyuuken (Eternal Bond)
Rank E-S: B
Range: Any
Type of jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: -
Description: Kai can channel his extra chakra into thin threads that he can connect with other people. While connected, Kai will be able to keep track of them and can also continuously channel his chakra into their body allowing them to use his massive chakra source. While Kai is connected to another person, that person's jutsu power is increased greatly; increase of jutsu rank by 1. Example: All C rank jutsu that the person uses become B rank while Kai is using this jutsu.

The down side of this jutsu relied on the people that Kai was helping. With a massive burst of power, he had seen many people in the past unable to control their new power, thus killing themselves in a jutsu that was originally strong.

Kaima was not ready for this. The attack, or anything that happened upon entering the cave. He was forced to make a desicion, a very hard desicion, and basically, right when he did, he was branded. It was what this Kaji man had called a Seishen, and he guessed that it would allow him to communicate with Kaji and the team. As he rubbed the back of his neck in a bit of pain, having drawn blood for a seal as well, he felt a bit nauscious. Then, all to suddenly, Kaji went to the front of them all, like he was about to give the same speach. Then, he said something that Kaima couldn't believe.



”Ok time to test you suckahs... Come at me now.”

Kaima couldn't believe this. He stopped rubbing his neck and looked at Kaji like he was crazy....Well, it was evident that he WAS crazy, but not suicidal. There were 7 other shinobi besides Kaima in the room, then there was him. No matter what he was up to, they all included special abilities in their arsenal of attack, defense, speed, or mental abilities. While Kaima was still trying to figure out if Kaji meant what he said, another man walts past him, charging the opponent. He looked to be a Uchiha, slashing at Kaji's stomach. If this wasn't enough for the opponent, Kaima was about to attack as well. If Kaima didn't he was directly disobeying orders, and even if it meant hurting the leader, he didn't want to disobey orders.

Just as he unwrapped his scroll, setting it comfortably on his neck, he felt another outside force. And it felt good. It was some sort of chakra multiplier, or so it seemed. Kaima looked back and saw that kid with the messed up shirt supplying chakra strings to nearly everyones back. Kaima felt like there was no end to what he could do, his power seemingly increasing tenfold. His hand grabbed his paintbrush, and as he did, the rest of the world seemed to go slower then he did. His paintbrush appeared to move across the page in under a second, creating seven perfectly detialed large falcons, who screeched loudly as they exited the paper. They had an outer layer of indigo, that was swishing slightly. An outer layer of chakra. Kaima smirked. He was beginning to like this Kai, not only because they had almost the same names, but because of what he could do.

Kaima's large falcon beasts charged the leader of his mercenary group. They flew quickly and went in from an attack at all areas besides where Kumori was attacking. They flew quickly, with a deadly amount of force.

The sudden words of betrayal leaving his ears as the seal was placed. @ hours had spanned, he couldnt beleive the possiblities of so many ninja. How dare he speak out against him, but he would never betray someone such as kaji, to much risk pertained to the cause of doing so.

during the 2 hours of sealing, he let his mind wander while spacing out getting himself in the mood to do anything asked of him, he was willing to actually stick his neck out for those in the room but he didnt know why. None of them have proved worth of his trust, he didnt even know most of their names. he shruged the image from his mind before he could permanatly change his reaction to the present time. Another thing bothered him, How the future had been told, Only he could prove his destiny, only he could see where it led, and no matter what he would rather know nothing about the future. he wondered if he should ask the one with the ability to see his possible deaths though.

Suddenly as the last seal was placed their leader suddenly spoke. He spoke a challenge to them all.

he stayed back for a few secconds letting the others have the first attack as he molded his chakra and focused his hands into simple signs and blood began to flow from his veins. a small orb formed as a strange string attached to him. The falcon like beasts had appeared and been sent to fight

feeling this surge his eyes widened. He felt an emmense power overwhelming and mixing into his, his muscles had suddenly tightened as he felt his strength increse, his speed must have as well he thought.

He saw the Ninja rushing Kaji, 'stupid fool, rushing in without weakening him at all, i hope he'll listen to what i say." his thoughts were simple.

having focused his chakra into the medium sized ball and super heating it, It looked like a miniature sun, He held it in front of him a distance away kneeling down.

"You guys watch out.."

he tossed the ball of liquid fire forward. It was mostly for moving the opponent to where he needed them. he suddenly began to move for cover, molding his own chakra incase a shield was needed in a quick time.

Gen sat in hes seat quietly listening to the others, only each time he went to speak another would jump up, after a few people he gave up. He had planned on telling his superior each of their possible futures and the likelihood fo their betrayal, but he figured it was better this way anyway. this at least kept things somewhat stable.

As they went through one at a time he saw his own death here and there, but this was more common than not so it didn't bug him. More so he saw each of their possible deaths one after another, and that was tough, it always was. This was why he, for so long, had cut himself off from society.

Suddenly he heard his name, Kaji was telling him and Kai to do the seals, so he popped up and began to do them. One at a time he sealed each, the sound of their breathing burned into his memory, as did their smell. He hated not being able to look upon these people, he hated it absolutely. his blindness would probably freak them out.

As he finished the seals he returned to his seat and plopped down. Most of these people had their own problems, but some were plain off. The female stuck out at him for some reason, but he brushed it aside. After, the seats began to sink away so Gen stood and moved behind the others to lean against the wall. Then Kaji commanded them to attack him, this made him think. Gen was a tactician, and in no small part due to his abilities. But he could outright fight, he could defend himself, but when it was one TEAM against one or more foes he often got lost in the fight and accidentally attacked a teammate. He could help them with strategy, but that was one thing he decided they should be ably to do without him to be a part of this team. He had decided on his course of action: do nothing.


This was good for all of a few seconds, but then Gen realized this was as good a time as any to practice fighting, and besides, not fighting was to disobey. Gen then formed an arm blade of bone from his right arm and focused wind chakra into it. Using chakra resonant metal was one thing, but using ones own genetic mass was a whole other thing. Using such made the chakra flow more effective and easier to control, and the chakra made the blade sharper, harder, and his entire arm faster. After this he jumped forward, right into the middle of the group. He was in a familiar stance; legs wide, body low, and back exposed. The tip of his bone blade was but half a millimeter from the ground, the wind chakra around it making dust on the floor blow backwards. Under his shirt he was growing three bone plates, one from each shoulderblade, and one under those from his spine. He hoped he had time to grow them proper.

Before proceeding he simply said one things, "Sir... I ask you only not to kill me."

”I know who you are Aki.... I expected you from the start to be here. I'm not gonna do anything to you and if they try to pull anything just tell me got that...”

Akihime stared at him wide-eyed. How did he know?! The Nasakis hid their true selves from all humans! How could this... this fledgling know?! For once in her life, she was filled with some fear. Who was he? How, just how did he know? She could sense Aki becoming uneasy, but ignored it. She needed to find out who this man was. But the more she searched, the more she came up with invisible barriers that even she could not break through.

And then one word entered her mind: Seishin. It was impossible... She had never come across one of them before. She had heard of them yes... but there were so few of them. She closed her eyes. How could she of all people have forgotten about those were legendary enough to wield Seishin. I'm sorry Aki... she thought sadly. The barriers between them fell. If he truly was a Seishin as she remembered, then this would be utterly useless.

The seal may have been placed on Aki's body and not on hers, but if their minds were connected, they were still subject to his abilities. She had lost. She felt like a complete and utter idiot. She didn't bother divulging the details of the Seishin to Aki either. If she was right... Aki would begin to feel what it was like to be under the presence of the Seishin soon enough.

Shikama raised an eye as he learned the girl's name. He was a little surprised that the man knew the girl's name. It looked as if they had never met before either. Just how powerful was he? Shikama was intrigued now, glad he had joined. He was sure that this young man would be a powerful ally... and a dangerous enemy.

And the seals were placed on them. He couldn't feel too much of the pain, rather he seemed to be in a dream like state and for a moment he was himself. He could see them... his teammates again. And then it passed. When he opened his eyes again, he saw now that everyone, well nearly everyone, had received a seal.

”Ok time to test you suckahs... Come at me now.”

He wants us to attack him? I suppose it makes sense... but--

"Fukyuuken"

What was that? And then he felt it... chakra. There seemed to be an almost limitless amount of chakra he had access to now. What... was going on? He was so confused and his brain... it was like slow motion. He thought he was still processing things rather fast, but it was if he were going along at a slower, easier pace. Attack. The thought was simple and clear. He moved to attack, but then stopped. Why? ... Because he said so.

Shikama shrugged. He figured it had something to do with the seal... But then he wondered, how could he attack without hurting his new "teammates"? One was already using Kenjutsu it seemed. Another had used a summoning? And then plasma? And another with a bone-like Kenjutsu? How could he attack?

Shikama finally settled on Daitoppa. He immediately noticed the increase in power and quickly lowered the amount of chakra he was feeding it. He didn't need to use as much chakra... strange. Was it because of that jutsu the medic had used? Unlike he normally would, he only released a small amount of air, aimed mostly for Kaji. Hopefully the other ninja would be able to avoid the cutting wind. And right now, if no one moved in the way, he would have a clear shot, unless of course the man avoided the attack.

Aki was about to attack, but Akihime held her back. No Aki. That's exactly what he wants. You don't have to... not yet. Sit back and watch for a bit. If everyone attacks him at once, mayhem will ensue. Let those fools waste their energy now. The man is very capable of dodging all of our attacks. The best chance you have of landing an attack is to first watch them attack, watch his movements and then attack.

... Okay.... said Aki with some reluctance. But she obeyed Akihime. Akihime did make sense after all, there were what? Ten or so of them here? And then the chakra surge. She let out an audible gasp as she felt the large chakra supply. It was overwhelming. Akihime... take... take over! It's... it's too much! yelled Aki in alarm. It was so much like her own... The chakra... she could feel it. It was already spreading. So much like her own vast chakra. Only Akihime would be able to stand it. She couldn't. Her body would become overloaded and quickly fail.

Akihime soon took control, regretting letting everyone present see the change. She moved towards the back of the room. She could see fine. The lights were a little annoying, but not too bad for her. She could feel the massive chakra supply from the other ninja and Aki's own massive chakra. It was a shame her body couldn't handle it... if she could, Aki would be a powerful ninja. But she had had the majority of her chakra sealed away to save her life. At least Akihime could access that sealed away chakra, but she wasn't one to use chakra in the first place.
