I awoke after a hard night of catching up on all the work I had missed on my three day trip. Some of it was done by my subordinate that I trust very dearly but there was much I had to do on my own accord and a small amount I had to correct. Then Move onto placing the new laws over trade and immigration. I considered it best to make Konoha a isolationist village. Trade is being taxed while reducing the taxes of my own people. Allowing outlaws to enter the village, they will not be apprehended by me or by an order from me unless they cause problems. However any shinobi of Konoha can at there own pleasure attempt to take the head of an outlaw. Also the alliance with Oto was cancelled as it is having a change in leadership and I do not find it in the best interest of Konoha. Trade routs that are exiting Konoha near the boarder of mist country has been increased as a rumor of a food shortage is happening there. In due time I will close our borders to all shinobi other than those of our own people. While still allowing trade and promising the other shinobi nations that there merchants will be protected within our boarders without there help.
with all that being taken care of I wait for my student Tomatsu to come to my office. For him and I will depart so that I can finish his training and then attened to more military matters while having someone capable of defending the village or leading an attack if the need does arise.

Tamotsu who spent most of his day off doing smaller duties for Renima, had finally begun relaxing in his garden. He had tended to most of his mother's flowers and was making barbecue for him and his wolf companion. He was excited for the time being, finally having a day off since the exams. As he set the table for him to eat in the garden, he yawned and set a plate for himself as the wolf normally ate freehand. Tamotsu laughed as he whistled for the wolf who came running. But then his nose caught the scent of a messenger he knew well and hated.
"Tamotsu-sama, I have been-" Before the messenger could finish he had been launched back by Tamotsu's palm and into a tree.
"DAMNIT!" Tamotsu growled as he looked at the note asking for his presence. He whistled a low tune to the wolf and the wolf responded with a whimper. Tamotsu then disappeared from sight in a flurry of leaves. The wolf however, could not do the same and trodded off.
Tamotsu appeared sitting on the window of Renima's office and did bother to look in as he could smell the Hokage in the office.
"I hope that by the graces of the gods, you've called me here for a reason on my day off. Otherwise, as your 'brother', I'm gonna throttle you beyond all comprehension. Seriously. I was eating my barbecue. And you know it's rare for me to eat that stuff." Tamotsu complained.
airknight12
I laughed allowed at the responce of Tomatsu. The boy sounded so seriouse but it was funny to me. That was because I knew he would like what I had planned much better for him. After all my clan cook's much better food than that of our own village. "barbeque...sorry about that. We'll stop by there on our way out and I'll buy you as much as you want ok" My stomach growled a bit with the thought of barbeque for myself. "well brother, It's time I take you to my home. You showed me yours some time ago, and you are ready for me to return the favor." Renima stood up and droped out of his robs grabbing his weapons and wearing his normal clothes for combat. "I wont tell you what were doing untell we get there, but you have to be quiet, now lets go GET SOME BARBEQUE!!" He yelled the last three words as he jumped out the window and landed gracefully on the ground and then ran tot he stand and started to order barbeque. "I wonder how long tell he gets here?"
AJ Gray
"You're late." Tamotsu said as he was sitting above the stand looking down at Renima. "You should know that I've gotten good at doing Shunshin. But I expend so much chakra doing it..." Tamotsu yawned loud enough to catch the attention of most everyone within a 2 block radius. "... that I get tired easily. Anyways, I'm not hungry. What's this about your home... that last we spoke about it..." Tamotsu thought a moment into his memories about the last he and Renima spoke about his home.
"One day, I'll take you to the Wind Shire... and show you how to unlock your inner power."
"You wouldn't be refering to making me unlock all of my chakra in on sitting right? In other words... you want me to train to be your successor... right?" Tamotsu asked as he jumped down looking at Renima.
airknight12
"yes thats a jutsu I never cared to learn and leave it up to my falcon to do, speaking of which." I whisteled and My companion from my childhood apepared on my shoulder and I fed it some of the barbeque I had just received. "Yes I am refering to that and more. The time of peace is going to end soon and I need to prepare konoha, and in some cases may need to lead our armies in battle. I need someone Strong enough to help me in those times. Despite being a Kage I am still human and have my limits." I ate a few more pieces and then stood up. I placed some ryo on the table and then walked out. "Tomatsu call for your comapion as we walk to the gate."
AJ Gray
"Are you telling me, that, you want me to be your guard if this... prophetic war that your voice seems to suggest comes here? Why would war come to Konoha? When did old binds and alliances break? What have I missed here!?" Tamotsu said as he slammed his foot into the ground making it crack hard. He whistled a moment and Jaken appeared walking from the side streets slowly. "As your friend and brother, I want to know what you have planned for me because something tells me this all has a higher meaning. I need to know why I'm going to push my limits to match yours." Tamotsu began to worry a moment.
airknight12
I kept walking and waved to the guards at the gate as the passed through them. Once we were clear of the city by about a four hundred feet I spoke once again. My voice was soft and almost weak for I knew of the coming carnage. "Tomatsu, Oto is having a change of leadership. Though we had an alliance with them I cancelled it for that reason. Every time that happens Oto goes into a state of disorder and occasionally war. I Hope it doesn’t turn to that. At the same time Suna's government with the exception of the kazekage was killed of recently and more attacks are expected. Kiri is finally going to have a kage decided upon. That village will flourish once again. They are always unified under the Kage and will do there bidding at any cost. However Food is in short supply there and If i was the Kage of there I would go to the place where the most food can be obtained. That would be us and the many trade routes we hold along that border. I've strengthened the guards there but now We have three fronts to defend against." I paused to catch my breath hand let the words sink in but spoke quickly again so questions could be asked when I was finished.
"we are the only nation in a state of civil unity for the time being. We are strong and prosperous, but that may change. The coming battles are inedible and they will be on a higher scale than any before. It wont be one attack but several and many shall die. I need you to be come as strong and as wise as you can in all matters. If I fail you need to take over, and I wish to train you, by giving you all the knowledge that I have within my veins. At some point you may be asked to lead the army for me, to defend me and even to die for the ones you love. You must be ready, as I had to be when I became a Jounin."
“I hope that war does not come but I will not allow us to be caught off guard by the being naive of danger because of our strength. I hope I can take Oto as a brother once again, and that we can help Suna, but we must first prepare ourselves.”
YuweaCurtis
Chouso dashs towards Konoha, running from tree to tree. He stops for a moment two take a drink from a local lake. He looks towards Yurinohara, I can't believe I miss that place. Oh well, the elders will see my power and grant me into the forest. He sniffs the air, Someone's approaching. He finishs his drink and launch straight into the trees. He lays in wait for a good 15 minutes, when two shinobi come out of the clearing. L-leaf? Yes I think that's my target. He jumps from the tree and lands few feet in front of them.
He bows, taking out the scroll, "I'm Otokagure Sannin Chouso Kaichio. I'm here to give the Hokage a scroll containing Otokage Reileyn Itichi's offer for peace." He extends his hands in front of him with the scroll in them.
airknight12
"Wow...your asking me for peace when we are not at war. I think she needs to train her shinobi in the art of being an ambasador for you certainly fail. None the less, give her this message. " I paused and wrote on a slip of paper that i took from my back pocked. "At the current moment I cannot accept an alliance. It is not a matter of distrust for I knew your brother and once understand his motives no he is not a monster. HOwever Untell I see your leadership I cannot make a alliance offical. If the need arises where you need military assitance send a messanger and we shall support you if it is you that is the target". I handed the note to the Sannin and countintued walking along the road with my student.
AJ Gray
Tamotsu had read everything that Renima has written on the paper. He sighed as something inside him told him that it was wrong. But it was not his decision to make. He patted the young Sannin on the shoulder and then nodded. "I'm sure he's acting in the best interest of both parties." He said as he walked off following Renima slowly with Jaken following behind him. The walk was long and there was alot of silence in their walk. He sighed once and thought about what he wanted to say though nothing came to mind immediately. He looked down depressed for a moment but cleared it off as he remembered the reason he was brought this far.
"Renima-niisan. What is your plan from here on?" He asked cautiously. "Where exactly are we going?"
airknight12
I noticed he seemed depressed over something. I didnt say anything about it for I had an idea of what it was. Then He asked a question. "The place I'm taking you is holy ground, Its the place I became the leader of my clan. I also developed many of my jutsus there. It is the place of my people who are guards of konoha for several years but have gone unoticed. Even the youngest of shinobi ther could give you a run for your money. The place I will train you is the great waterfalls in one of the most beautiful and difficult terrains in our land. There you will be tested and there you will be taught"
AJ Gray
"I see." Tamotsu thought as he began to slowly understand what Renima meant. He knew that Renima had long planned to take him here but he felt that the timing was a bit to convenient for what was to come. However, thoughts would be put aside as they would soon arrive at their destination and he would have to be ready for a test. Whatever that test would be, he would have to strive his hardest to make his body and mind fit well. He was mentally ready but physically, he wasn't sure just yet. But when they arrived, he knew he would have an answer.
airknight12
"Follow me" I then darted to the west off the trail and moving through the under brush at a fast pace. I moved silently and kept going. After traveling several miles I reached the waterfall and jwalked down the edge. "Its time to start tomatsu, show me what you can do at your full power...make your move"
YuweaCurtis
Chouso bows, taking the message. He back towards Otokagure. "I'll have to pace myself, this well be three day journey. I'll need all my strength for the trial ahead of me." Well at least Konoha will help us if we're in trouble. Reileyn-sama will be glad about that. He continues on through the trees, thinking about the things that he would need to do. He may need a personal assistant for small things. He makes his way to his village, stopping to catch fish for his meals. After three days, he arrives at the Sound Gates.
(Left Thread)
AJ Gray
Tamotsu shunshined to the destination almost instants after Renima has arrived and hear him speak. Tamotsu knew that this would come. He knew sooner or later the master and subordinate would fight to determine his standing in the world. With nothing more to say, he pulled the sword from his back and then showed it to Renima. "I have all my life feared a weapon till this day. And now, I will use it to show you what I can do." He said as Schneider began to take a red glow. "I'll begin as you asked. SALAMANDRA!" He said as a huge 15 foot serpent of fire shot towards Renima. "I'll start by using one of your moves!"
airknight12
I saw the blade that was being used against me. It was one of the five created from my clan. Each very powerful and not even a kaze no yaba could cut through the blades. Made from titanium and compressed chakra. Then I watched one of my favorite ninjutsu being used agianst me by my own student. To see this made me proud. To feel the wrath of one of mys trongest techniques combined with one of my families sword in the hand of a brother scent chills of pleasure down my spine. In responce I knew exacly what I had to do, or I would waist a large ammoutn of chakra in a short ammount of time and it would all be fruitless. Instead I chose to realy on my strongest abilites, the ones I had mastered since my becoming a SHinobi. The ones that fell under Genjutsu. "Magen: Jubaku Satsu [Demonic Illusion: Tree Bind Death]" As I finished the Hand seals I appeared behind the man and above him with my dagger in hand and attempting to thrust it into the right side of his chest.
AJ Gray
As Tamotsu believed his attack would work, something caught him off guard. An odd hazy feeling he had felt once before. His mind kicked into drive as he saw his attack had failed but couldn't understand why. But then he understood as he heard a bark from the distance. He looked up and saw Renima trying to thrust a dagger toward him. He took the sword from his hand and peirced his side with it slightly and he yelled out in pain as the genjutsu had turned off and Tamotsu looked at Renima smiling as his right side bled softly. "I appreciate the guesture, brother, but you should know I've found a way to break genjutsu when my mind can't register. Cause yourself physical pain." Tamotsu smiled as Jaken walked beside him and then he nodded. "Now!" Jaken leapt up on to Tamotsu's back and a giant poof went off. When the dust settled, Tamotsu stood there with a sword in his hand. Tamotsu threw the blade forward at Renima hoping it would strike. As he ran forward and jumped into the air and began to do a Gatsuuga.
Spoiler:
He used, Jujin Bushin and Henge.
airknight12
I flipped ove rhis shoudler onto my hands and sprung up to face him as he began his assult with the blade. "Kendra" I uttered the words and a wind dragon came from My dagger and I sent it forward into the Gatsuga. It was a whip like salamandra that cut and grew stronger form wind rather than burn and grow stronger from fire. "So glad I made these jutsus" The fact he exscaped the genjutsu was impressive. THen I remembered hearing the bark of his companion I looked at Pergin and the falcon nodded and flew high into the sky at such a height he could not be seen.
AJ Gray
"Now!" Tamotsu said as he poof out of the sword transformation behind Renima with a Rasengan in his hand. As he did, the Gatsuuga Tamotsu swirved out of the way before getting blasted with the Kendra. "Rasengan!" Tamotsu yelled as he thrusted his arm toward Renima's back. "That's the weakness of this attack! Even if you can you can't move it at two targets at once even with two weapons as you always need a free hand to defend yourself with!" Tamotus thought to himself as his decoy was finally caught by Jaken transforming into himself and into the surrounding shadows.
airknight12
occ: wow AJ that was awsome, I really wanst exspecting that.
Ic: I was mesmorized by being caught of guard in such a manor. It seems I have already underestimated my pupil and owuld have to lift it up a notch. I hope he hasnt gone all out yet, because I want a challenge if I can get it. I turned my body just enough to draw Enoreth and put it into the way of the Rasengan. I felt the force of the attack move me backwords. The wind around it and the pressure trying to break my blade. That wouldnt happen but this would be astrain on my body as I'm resisisting such power.
I slid back a few feet and was about to slide more when I jumped away from the blast to give myself room. Watching as his attack died out. "Very Good Student, but now its my turn" I smiled as I ran through the hand seals of my two favorite Genjutsus. I didnt have to utter the names, just activate them and they would be good for quiet some time. (Just activated kama: divine illusion of the false senses, and kama: divine illusion form manipulation)
I then ran through what appeared to be the handseals for a powerful fire dragon. It stared form his mouth and came out very large hot and burning. It was for only an instant but enough to create large feelings of burns across Tomatsu. ALso the area around them appeared to burned and the smell of smoke filled the are.
AJ Gray
Tamotsu looked on stunned as the fire began to encircle him and began to burn slowly. As it did, he knew this wasn't a normal Katon element as he could feel the odd feeling of dizziness. He winced a bit in pan then whistled for his companion. As he did, the wolf jumped out of the shadows and ran towards Renima and began a Gatsuuga. Knowing that this distraction would be caught on to fast before the falcon could react to it, Tamotsu took to the sky and jumped as high as he could. When he was out of the flames, he did a hand seal and shunshined a few yards away from Renima. Then he lifted his left foot to the sky and slammed it down with great force. The ground began to jut out and began cracking and splitting it's way to Renima. He knew he would have a tough choice to make.
airknight12
Out of the corner of my eye I saw a beast move towards me; then The rocks came flying and the ground cracking as it came toward me. I wished I had a way to exscape it without putting such a strain on my body, but this would be difficult to dodge anyways, and this attack was my only defense against it. also it would be a formidable counter attack. If Tomatsu was still on the ground he would take the front of it. if not then he might exscape it but undoutably with some degree of harm. It would take a large ammount of chakra and the surronding area would be damaged as well. This place was accustomed to my destructive powers and somehow was able to refresh its self within a very short time frame. "Here goes" I ran through the hand seals and a huge blast of water went forward crashing upon the ground and stopping the earth quake as it tossed trees, rocks, soil, and anything else in it's path across the valley. As i caught my breath, I muttered the name of the jutsu "Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu [Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique]" I had to let my body rest or realy on the reserves within my sword. I still had enough chakra within myself to battle on but I would tire soon without it.
AJ Gray
Tamotsu saw that his "brother" had gone out of his way to make sure that he wouldn't be harmed by either attack. He looked at the attack in awe as he had never seen an A-Rank suiton before. But then his senses kicked in and he then regained his composure. Knowing that the attack would crush his companion if it hit him, he whistled and the wolf landed on the ground. Tamotsu shunshined to the wolf and grabbed him. He then jumped up towards the sky just seconds before the water would converge to crush them. He panted as he landed on the water, the wolf in his arms. Knowing that the Suiton had taken from Renima, he would have to step it up a notch. He whistled to the wolf of Gatsuuga'ed off, knowing that his part of the battle was over.
"Renima... I believe it's time... we go hand to hand." Tamotsu said as his energy exploded rapidly. "And show you some training I did on my own. I show you now..." He looked at Renima with serious conviction. "... my first gate!" Tamotsu rushed forward towards his "brother" with incredible speed and then disappeared. Then he reappeared right below Renima and thrust his leg upward towards his chin. "KONOHA SENPUU!"
airknight12
The area around us was completly oblitereated, tree's tossed this way and that, even the path of the river had changed and errosion had occured on the waterfall. However my reaction to the on coming attack was weakened. Normally I would hae been able to keep up but then I was hit sky ward by the attack and sent soring into the sky several feet. As I started to fall i gained my composer and used one of my clans genjutsus. "Wind Gust Leaf Style" A strong 90 mile an hour wind came non stop blowing against Tomatsu and his dog making it very difficult to move. at the same time Pergin flew down from the sky and attacked Tomatsus Dog. If its talons hit the dog would be out of the battle, but not killed.
Taking the time from the genjutsu I landed and released one of my poison gases, this one being sleeping gas. The gas moved quickly and with the genjutsu still slowing the opponet the gas was quickly going to overtake them both and put them to sleep for a short time.
AJ Gray
Tamotsu was taken off guard by the wind gust and slid back a few feet as he tried to regain himself. Meanwhile, Jaken had smelled his attacker coming jumped back getting caught by one talon. He whimpered softly as he bled from his shoulder. He began to dig underground since the ground was soften and began to hide underground. Tamotsu on the other hand found himself beginning to second guess himself as he got a blast of gas heading towards him. He jumped up to the air to avoid the sweep of gas. His chakra was still half way but his body was tired. He would go one more gate and have to end this fight soon.
"Second gate!" He yelled in the air as he began to explode with a slight more bit of energy. "Now! Take this!" He said as he head back down to the ground as he cocked his right palm back and slammed forward toward Renima. He knew that if it hit, Renima would be slammed into the ground hard.
airknight12
"good pergin good" I was glad my flacon was able to wound his companion that made my job a lot easier. one less opponet to worry about made this to where I could focus my attacks in a more specific way and not waist as much chakra. "It seems my time to speak..even with the gates your reaction is slow and a direct attack isnt your best bet'' I said this as I Used another one of my gases. Tossing it down a blue smoke filled the air. "Gas attack technique" the gas moved quickly as it was spread across the arena.
Knowing that he was coming this was the best way to defend, by sending out a attack of gas covering a large area so he would have to slow himself and change directions to avvoid it or breath in some of the gas and slow his body even more. At the same time I realized this and thrust an adrenaline shot into my body, only about half the dosage making me equal with the first gate and lowering the negative effects it has on the body. this was a precaution if he was able to avoid my attack. Still I had so much to teach him but he was improving drastically.
Spoiler:

AJ Gray
Knowing that this second blast of gas was coming and meant to stop him, Tamotsu held his left hand back and revealed another skill he had worked on while in Kirigakure. The spiraling ball fo chaka began forming as he retracted his right arm and slammed his left arm forward. "Rasengan!" He yelled as the ball blasted away a safe zone for him to land on. As it spiraled in his hand, the gas parted and he made his way to his sensei. As he did, his speed dramatically increased and he kept the rasengan alive long enough for him to reach Renima. But as he did, he stopped right in front of him and dispelled the Rasengan.
"I'm done..." He said as his chakra returned to normal. His muscles sored massively and he took a knee. "Had fun?" Tamotsu smiled a bit playfully.
airknight12
I enjoyed wathcing the rasengan come at me through the smoke showing me that my student was more prepared than exspected, but at a very costly ammount of chakra that almost made it a foolish mistake that would cost himt he match. as he came closer he stoped his attack right in front of me. I was shocked.
"poor you" How could my student come up to me during hte middle of training an say he was done, that was a mistake he would never make again, as I Still had much to teach him and this was going to be amongst that long list of virtues that he had to learn. As he was so close it made my attack so perfect for the situation.
My falcon flew into the sky and awaited a command or waiting on an opening. First it wanted to see how I would respond to the words of my student and that would be made known in a very short moment, as I moved my hand to fly thorugh the two hand seals it took to complete my technique. "Wrapping of the trees" In that instant I Moved forward and started to thrust my left fist into the stomach of my student and my right elbow to his head, then stepping forward to make a combo and coming in with a tai kick from the left side. Which is where one picks up the leg above the poing of its target and then slambs down on it to do more damage and stun the muscle than with a regular kick. It came with a great ammount of force. while the entire time it seemed as if trees were wrapping around Tomatsu and crushing him int he places that my attacks came from, which were all lighting fast.
Spoiler:
rapping of the trees

AJ Gray
Tamotsu took the damage, angry that Renima had gone so far when Tamotsu could have just slammed the wind ball into his chest and devastate him. He growled in pain. "You know... the next time... I'm ripping his -beep-ing arm off with a passion." Tamotsu thought to himself. He stood up weakly as he looked at Renima in great pain. He whistled softly as Jaken dug out of the ground and walked up to Renima and began peeing on him. He laughed softly as he fell back to the ground and looked up to the sky. For the first time, he felt accomplished. "You're a dick..." Tamotsu laughed in pain. "... but at least you take care of me." He watched the clouds a moment as the sores increased and Jaken came over to rest his head on his master's chest.
"I'm not ready... am I? Because I paused at the end." He said as he looked at a cloud which looked like a bird.
airknight12
I almost laughed at the words of my student, as his rebellion against me was of sucha humerouse nature. Him wencing in pain as I attacked. I jumped away as the dog tried to piss on me. Then I glared at it, but understood its reasoning behind it. Then as he laid on the ground I started to speak my mind. "A dick I maybe but its for your own good. If I went easy on you, You would be dead in a weak against most of my old opponets. You still have so much to learn and I still have so much to teach you." I sighed and took in a breath, realizing how much damage was done to the area and that he had pushed me to show a great deal of my strength. "Ready, Yes you are. I would trust you with my life at any moment. Your a good student but still so much foolishness needs to be overcome. Like a flower about to bloom to its greatest level of beauty, I will prune you. Cutting away the things that will cause you harm to make you into a stronger being no matter how bad it hurts you. For once again growth does not come with out struggle." I still stood and looked at him, observing him and waiting to see him react. "My question now is what do you wish to know? From that I will awnser and lead farther into my teachings"
AJ Gray
"Why did you choose to teach me?" Tamotsu asked as he looked at the wolf and began to pet it. He noticed that it's wound had healed and he sighed happily. He kept his gaze up at the sky and refused to think bad of what he did. "I paused... not because I was tired... because I could force my self to do what was going to be done. Of all the teachers I've ever had, I've come to understand you and have come to realize, you're family to me. And I... I can't hurt family... not since... I killed my mother." He said as he sat up and looked at Renima. "I know you read my file. Because it was there on your desk when I got back. I saw for a moment. The same look in your eye as was in hers." Tamotsu stood up weakly but held his own. "What was the real point of bringing me here?"
airknight12
I sighed and pondered the question. It was something I had not considered in quiet sometime. I had it figured out at one point and now I had to remember the reason I used as an alibi. " I started to teach you because I saw potential and I knew konoha needed the next generation to be as strong as ever for I have foreseen the coming battles that will try every nation and shake them to the foundation of its existence. Then as I was with you I saw a passion develop and a will to try harder, a will to defend those you loved. So much innocence mixed in with the lack there off, just like sweet chocolate. Most of all You reminded me of myself at your age. There’s something about nostalgia that makes me long for the past and you allowed that to return. Call it a selfish reason if you wish but now I consider you family as well. Like a brother, even though your really a cousin, I consider you far dearer than that." Then I paused to collect my thoughts again. The look you saw once one of admiration at the act you were growing stronger. To bad I didn’t get to fight you on my normal terms of engagement, but if that was the case you would be dead and I would have to mourn over the loss of another." I bit my lip at the last question before answering. "I brought you here to prepare you for the coming events, to teach you all that I know, and to make sure you are strong enough to replace me if that time ever comes to exist. For me to take you here proves That I trust you. For this is a holy place to my clan, that few see and few train within, it has regeneration properties within the soil and plants and the animals are the teachers of our techniques. This place I have only shown to one other besides yourself. within in the last hundred years only six people have entered this location. Within it is one of the best places to find wisdom. On that note comes my first lesson. "To know yourself and not your enemy is to have half the battle, to know the enemy and not yourself is to have half the battle, to have both and not have knowledge of earth and heaven is to have half the battle. Strive to know yourself, your strengths, abilities, fears, weaknesses, and limitations, then do the same for your opponents."
AJ Gray
Tamotsu looked at him unquestionably and then began to shake with anger. His mind was clouded with the events of that night. In his mind, he was not thinking clearly. In his heart he was not sure of what was happening. "What if I continued with my attack!? What if I had made the mistake of killing you!? What if I had done the wrong thing?!" Tamotsu began shaking as he pulled out the legendary fire sword and then presented it to Renima. "This thing... this thing... is a pure evil to me! This thing is nothing more then a reminder of sins long past! My eyes... ARE MY GREATEST SIN SINCE THEY'RE NOT MINE!" Tamotsu said as he looked at Renima and threw the sword down to the ground. "I can't stay in Konoha anymore. I have to leave and expand my reach so that I can see where my powers lie. I'm a hindrance to Konoha." Tamotsu said as Jaken looked at him and whimpered. He walked forward away from Renima.
airknight12
I sighed again in frustration and then grabbed Tomatsu. "Once again I have to prune you dont I? Turning me into a historian and a philospher all at once. Once again I say you must know your self. You have a past full of errors and wrong doings but no one at our level in the shinobi world goes without such things." The last sentecne was spoke with a tone of grief as if I was pleading with my student and brother. "Many have others eyes, some have slain there families, other have slaughtered many others families, and In My case I've been so overcome by hatred that I vowed to wipe out a complete nation and ndearly succeded in doing so. My hands are so stained with blood that if I could be viewed in such manor all of konoha would be flooded three foot deep in the blood of those I have vanquished for no reason other than pure desire." My gaze changed, and my eyes with it going into a color of grey showing my depression and dissapointment. "The blade you throw down is a weapon from my clan a long time ago, it is forged to make peace, for wrote upon schnieder the blade of the flame is for he who desires peace must first make war"

"This amuses you doesn't it? Look... I'm sorry. I'm just not feeling well. I just don't know what I can do to make myself to be at the level I should be. I know that everyone starts here. I know that everyone has to climb from the bottom and up to the top. But all I seem to do is hold myself down with the weight of the world on my shoulders. I can't bring myself to kill someone. I can't even take it to the level it needs to kill." Tamotsu said as he looked down at the sword and remembered what his parents had told him. He then smiled and looked at Jaken. "Building upon the old is hard."

I felt almost offended like a knife had just pierced my heart. Like everything I had said had been taken out of context. "Tomatsu you dont understand do you...I want you to become a Sannin, One who is there to protect me and the village. Killing isnt the point, in fact I dread everyone that has been killed by my hand. The fact I had to watch them die is burned int om y memory and I remember each face, it is a sin my friend a very grave one at that and one that I live with constantly. I picked you to be my guardian because of your compasion, I will still lhelp you improve, but if you wish not to carry a weapon then give schneider to me, and I will hold onto it untell you desire it again and if you never do then in my hands it shall rest."
I hoped I hadnt offended him for I want to help him grow and overcome his problems to become the best he could in ever area of his life not just the battle field but for people, then the idea hit me. "Tomatsu...if you accept being my sannin your first mission is to become a skilled medical nin"

"Renima-niisan?" Tamotsu asked unsure of himself. He looked over Renima confused at what he had proposed. "In order for me to do that, I would need to do three times more training and I wouldn't be any use to you until I have returned from training. I mean, it's a great honor that you think I have the power to be a Sannin but..." He looked at Jaken and then down to the ground a moment. He sighed and then looked at his brother. "... I accept. I'll do my best to be the greatest Medical-nin out of Konoha in a long time. I'll make you proud and I'll repent for what I've done."

I smiled and hugged him. it was weird and kind of akward for shinobi to show any compashion but I had no choice at the moment. "Good then, Make something of yourself and help your nation in anyway you can, I know you will be stronger when you return. Make the most of it and trust me in this decision, I will keep konoha safe even if it means going to war, but do not concern yourself with such matters. when I am finished the world will return to a state of peace and it will need a compashionate leader to control it. Now I must leave my brother....Lets us return to konoha and let you being on your training" I then let go and started to walk back the way i cam
