Obtaining Shukaku
 
 
 
 
Ryu: A slight puff of smoke escaped Ryu's lips as he was walking around the entrance to the village gates as he shot a small flame jutsu to burn up the cigarette causing ashes to flow around him as he walked, Ryu had just completed some training he was doing in his old ruined village of Ryugakure. “Magnet release...” He grumbled slightly “That took forever to embedded into my brain...” he yawned lightly and passed the ramen shop and he tilted his head slightly thinking of the time he had spent with the kage there, this caused him to smile slightly. “I wonder what Lady Kage is up to...” he muttered lightly as he leaned upon a wall crossing his arms as his eyes began to glaze over getting lost within his thoughts. These thoughts weren't his usual saddened and depressing ones ,he in fact was thinking of how the kage had showed him great kindness and understanding as a slight blush creeped upon his face falling silent, happy that his mask was on to hide the blush.-
 
Kyo: -It was early morning in Konohagakure and Kyo Uzumaki was atop her Mansion dressed in her usual ANBU attire, her white orbs narrowed behind her mask as she scanned the area in front of her, finally she spotted who she was looking for and blinked once. Dropping from the roof her red hair flew out behind her looking almost like a long cape as it did so, she hit the light dirt road below with a small thud and then dashed forward, her eyes no longer narrowed but wide with concentration. Ryu Uchiha, the new man in town she'd asked a few nights ago to be her new ANBU companion, he had agreed and now she already had a Mission that she required his help with. Her pretty pale face turned into a small smile behind her Black and White mask as she ran, he was indeed interesting and she wondered if he would accept the Mission at hand, she also wondered if he would accept her other request.... How she would ask she did not know. As Kyo approached him she slowed and looked up allowing her eyes to study him for a few moments before removing her mask and pushing her hair out of her face "Ryu" She said gently. "I need to speak with you, it appears I will need your help with a current Mission, I-" Kyo paused for a moment before looking up "I have something I wish to discuss with you, ya know?" She tilted her hand to the side with a smile upon her face her hair flopping slightly.-
 
Ryu: Ryu blinked slightly and looked over to the side at the pale woman that was speaking to him. He smiled lightly under his mask and tilted his head to the side, his onyx eyes looking into her pale ones. “How can this one help you lady Kage?” he muttered slightly as he leaned off of the wall letting his arms fall from the crossed arms position to let them loosely hang from his sides. His mind began to get lost once more as he continued to stare into her white orbs pondering what she could possibly want from him. “Whatever your task may be, I hope to be enough of service to complete it.” he said once more giving her a slight bow before standing back straight once more.
 
Kyo: -Kyo blinked several times slightly taken aback by his reaction and then his response, she blinked several times in quick succession before nodding gently back her face turning a slight pink as he continued to look at her. "I need you to accompany me on a Mission" She said her voice slightly shaky as she averted her eyes from him so as not to seem as though she was staring. Turning on her heel gently she beckoned him with her walking down the house line slowly and then jumping up onto the wall itself hoping that he was following her as she did so. "We are quite alike, would you not agree?" She looked sideways at the tall Uchiha her eyes absent-mindedly softening as she did so, her cheeks still a warm pink "I have a request" She gulped after saying so. She had stayed up many nights pondering and wondering if this would be a good idea, if what she was thinking would be worth it, she looked sideways at him again studying his handsome face and his onyx eyes before sighing and looking down at her fingers. "I want to ask Kurama, the Nine Tails for his permission to be sealed, I know that it's a long shot but I want to and I..." She stuttered and then looked up at him again her face now a deep Crimson "I want to seal half inside of you, if you would allow it I understand if you wouldn't, I just,,,," She trailed off and buried her face  in her hands "I don't know... Other than that we must help the Kazekage". In that moment she realized that as the Hokage she should be telling him not asking him, why couldn't she? Why was she incapable of giving him orders like she did to everyone else? She peaked at him through her pale fingers ad blinked several times in wonder, what would he say?.-
 
Ryu: Ryu continued to smile as she had spoken that she needed him for a mission, feeling rather wanted. He continued to follow her as she jumped atop of a building ,jumping with her with his hands within his pocket. He nodded to her as she commented that she and him were alike and he tilted his head to the side listening to her speak. His eyes widened slightly as she began to spoke of Kurama, and asking to seal part of Kurama inside him and asking for kuramas PERMISSION to be sealed. “Is that wise?...” Ryu muttered slightly looking towards her “Talking to a tailed beast to see if he wishes to be imprisoned?...” Ryu's smile slowly turned into a small frown as he spoke up once more as he placed a hand upon her shoulder “That would mean certain death you know...” he looked down towards the village tilting his head to the side “I've grown to care about you these past few days... I'd hate to see you go...” he began to blush heavily as he had said this not knowing where it came from. “I-uh....” he started to become lost for words but he'd take a big huff and speak up “I'll accept the mission though... If worse comes to worse... I'll control him with my sharingan...” He scratched the back of his head as he spoke “as for sealing part of him inside me... I do whatever you wish of me... Kyo..” he tilted his head to the side, pulling his mask down to show her his smile his goatee kind of messy from his mask. “I am your blade to wield as you see fit... just give the command and it shall be so...” his onyx gazed moved to look into her eyes a half smile upon his lips, his mind filled with a bit of doubt.
 
Kyo: -Kyo nodded gently at Ryu, her face now a deep crimson and herself ever aware of the warm hand he had placed upon her shoulder, her eyes flickered to it and blinked a few times, she shivered gently and gulped looking back up at his Onyx eyes. His confessions and the way he spoke had only served to make her blush deeper shades of red until she felt like she may in fact explode from the kindness. People were rarely kind to her, let alone give some form of physical contact, she felt overwhelmed but kept her composure as she opened her mouth "It is dangerous yes, but what does he do? Sit around? I don't want to openly hurt or subdue the Tailed Beast, ya know? But I could use him and he could use me, I'm sure he's bored even Beasts get bored sometimes" She paused for a moment staring out into the forest ahead of them "If it turns into a fight then so be it, if he isn't willing then I will leave him to his own devices, trust is earned, not forced". Turning her head back she looked up at Ryu through her fringe and gave him a warm smile, showing teeth. lifting her hand gently she removed his from her shoulder slowly and placed it back at his side in a kind genture "I wont let any harm come to either of us, I'm the Hokage after all, ya know" She tilted her head with a Child Like smile and let out a small giggle. "Are you ready? If so we shall set out?".-
 
Ryu: Ryu nodded to her slowly blushing slightly at her contact upon his hand “Lead the way ..Kyo” he muttered slightly looking away as he stood up, cracking his neck lightly. “I understand what you need to do, and why your doing it. I shall help anyway I can” he smiled looking towards her lifting his mask up offering a hand to help her up. “Just tell me what to do.” His heart was filled with various emotions at the given moment, he had basically opened up to her in a matter of days when normally it would take years for it. He didn't know how to express his feelings better than this, so he'd just nod and do as he was told as a respected shinobi should.
 
Kyo: -Kyo took his hand gently and stood up bowing her head gently at him "Thank you Ryu, thank you so much" because of her bowed head he did not see the single tear in her right eye which she blinked away quickly. Upon lifting her head she turned and jumped into the forest below knowing in her mind that Ryu would indeed follow her. It had been awhile since she'd been here the smell of pine and grass filled her nostrils as they moved at a swift pace, it did not take them long to reach the outskirts of the forest, by this time night had began to fall and she sighed gently as she looked up at the darkening sky from her perch at the top of a large Pine tree. Dropping slowly she landed in the clearing they had chosen to Camp in, with their quick pace it was likely they would reach Sunagakure tomorrow Evening. The wood was gathered and piled in front of her as she plopped down on the grass looking at it with wide White Orbs, at first she had thought to light it but realized that Ryu was a Fire Release user, she didn't know how to ask him though, how did you ask someone that? Would it offend him? She gulped slightly as she looked over at him "I'm sorry if all of this is extremely sudden" She spoke gently her eyes shimmering in the last rays of the sun "Truthfully I did not intend on telling anyone what I was going to do then I met you and well...." She trailed off slowly biting her bottom lip and looking away from him once again "It just seemed like you would understand". The moon slowly rose above them faster than Kyo even had time to register it seemed that time passed faster when she was with Ryu, then again it was true she paid more attention to him than the passing hours. She tilted her head to the left side slightly her eyes focusing on him in the vast moonlight, wondering what she was thinking.-
 
Ryu: Ryu smiled at Kyo gently as he grasped her hand helping her up, before letting it go, truthfully he didn't want to let go of her hand, hell he'd enjoy holding throughout the journey to Sunagakure. “I'm the one who should be thanking you.” he said jokingly closing his eyes and tilting his head to the side his smile still upon his face. His onyx eyes trailed after her as she had jumped into the forest, Ryu also gave a slight leap letting a puff of dust flow into the air as his foot launched him upwards. Ryu didn't speak much all the way to the outskirts of the forest as it became night, he was sitting at the base of the tree that Kyo was perched atop of with his arms crossed and his eyes staring at the unlit fire pit. Ryu looked to the side and saw the firewood and stood up , picking up an armful of wood placing them into the pit performing a couple of hand seals as he shot a small flame , igniting the wood. He did this action of his own accord, happy that he was of somewhat use. Ryu's ears perked up slightly as Kyo spoke to him and he quickly averted his gaze towards her as his hands fell to his sides once more, undoing the hand seal that he had. “It's no problem Lady Kyo, I am happy to be of use... and I'm happy that you would choose me rather than someone else... I enjoy these times out that we have..” He chuckled slightly as he plopped down next to the fire pit, letting the warmth fill the front part of his body. He then blinked slightly and started to blush under his mask “I apologize.. I shouldn't speak about personal feelings to the kage...” he gave a slight bow of apologies. Ryu usually never forgot his formalities when they were needed, but Kyo seemed different to him and he felt that he could act like himself rather than just a pawn. Ryu tilted his head as he looked up towards the moon, before moving his gaze to the spot next to him and then back to Kyo as he tilted his head to the other side and smiled wondering if she would in fact sit next to him as he pulled down his mask and placed a cigarette between his lips lighting it and inhaling deeply allowing the smoke to caress his lungs before exhaling shrugging off his apology hoping that she would as well. “Truth be told... Maybe a beast within a beast will cancel each other out eh?” Ryu chuckled slightly at his bad joke, attempting to break the ice.
 
Kyo: -Kyo looked across the fire her pretty pale face illuminated by it's light as she watched Ryu light his smoke, after his comment she shook her head and stood moving around the fire only to sit down next to him and pull out one of her own Cigarettes, lighting it in the flames of the fire. She inhaled and exhaled slowly looking into the flames as she did so "You're not a beast Ryu" She spoke gently her mask now removed from her face, she almost pouted as she spoke it "You were just lost". Turning her face to him she smiled brightly once again and allowed herself to give him a small playful nudge as she continued to puff on her Cigarette. "I hope that Kurama likes the idea" She paused once again "Do you think Tailed Beasts ever get lonely, Ryu? That they sit around and wish they were together or that they had friends? I mean they are living creatures so it sees fit that they have feelings" Kyo trailed off as spoke her bright red hair shifting slightly in the small breeze that passed over them. "I like to think that if they are lonely perhaps sealing them within us will help to make them not so lonely, they'll get to fight and travel and not be feared or shunned whilst doing so, it's not their fault they are what they are, it's how they were born" She looked at him "Kind of like us, ya know?". Her eyes shimmered in that moment as she smiled at him, it felt to her as if there was a deep understanding between them, something unique and special that only each of them could understand, a bond that only they shared. It made her heart flutter slightly, the idea of someone understanding her, the idea of the copious amounts of days, and years spent all alone feeling like no one in the world could ever lift the void, the burden upon her shoulders. But now in this particular moment she slowly began to realize that maybe that person did indeed exist, perhaps he was the person sitting right in front her. After a few more moments Kyo shook her head gently and her face turned pink again, her eyes went back to the fire and after a few more moments her head slowly began to droop until it fell and rested gently again Ryu's shoulder, her eyes now shut and her breathing becoming slow and even. "Thank you.." She whispered her voice almost completely inaudible as she fell into a peaceful sleep.-
 
Ryu: Ryu listened intently on the conversation that she was having with him and gave slight nods of approval to everything that she would say. He then felt a weight upon his shoulder as he looked to the side to see Kyo resting her head upon his shoulder falling asleep. Ryu's face fell into a deep crimson as he looked towards her, not really sure of what to do. He fell silent and looked to the ground allowing her to sleep upon him. After a few moments he lifted his arm and placed it around her shoulders in a loving way, sharing some of his warmth with her as he began to look up at the moon smiling slightly “I'll keep watch....” he chuckled to himself as he looked back to Kyo. After a few hours when he knew that she was asleep, he moved over slightly and placed his free arm under her legs and slowly picked her up bridal style, him smiling at her peaceful face as she was asleep. He slowly walked over to her tent and walked inside placing her upon the bed, tucking her in neatly. He tilted his head slightly and leaned down ,pulling his mask down slightly, placing a soft kiss upon the top of her head “I'll protect you...” he muttered slightly as he walked out of the tent. He sat down next to the fire once more, pulling up his mask and tilting his head staring into the flames. “It looks like I might be able to move on... Flower...” Ryu muttered as he pulled the necklace she had given him all those years ago off and stared at it. “Forgive me...I hope you can find someone who is better and can protect you in the afterlife unlike me who wasn't there to protect you when you needed it most... I'll try once more.. I'll protect Kyo and the entire village, I vow to never fall to darkness again.. I'm going to change...” He looked up to the sky and smiled as he tossed the necklace into the flames, never for it to be seen again. Ryu stayed sat down next to the flames for the rest of the night, rather than doing the usual and waking up Kyo for her shift of the watch, allowing Kyo to get a full nights rest Ryu taking on the full responsibility of watching over the camp.
 
Kyo: -Kyo awoke at what seemed like an early hour her eyes blinking slowly as she lifted her hands to rub them once the blinking was over, looking around she realized she was in her tent and had not been woken up once during the night. She scrambled up quickly her head popping out of the Tent entrance and looking around frantically, she spotted Ryu in his position still by the fire and pulled herself up and out of the tent "You didn't wake me!" She spoke "Have you been up all night? Are you okay? You should have woken me so you could sleep!" All of this came pouring out of her mouth as she stood before him still dressed her hair slightly messy. After speaking Kyo yawned softly and rubbed her eyes once again narrowing them at Ryu with a small pout "Well I'm making Breakfast!" She announced with a huff not waiting for him to respond before ducking back into the tent. She appeared carrying two packets of Ramen and sat down across from him, the fire was still going, and then began to boil some water in order to make their breakfast with. As the water was boiling she looked up at Ryu her eyes scanning over him checking him for signs of sleepiness, her eyes then softened "You should have woken me Ryu" Her voice had also softened considerably. Lifting her hands quickly she began to flatten and braid her hair once again, ever concious that it was likely messy as her face turned bright red again. Once the water had boiled she moved towards him handing him his Ramen and then sitting down next to him crossing her legs a light smile on her face "I'm excited, ya know? Are you Ryu?" Her eyes shone in the light of the rising sun as they ate Breakfast together. Once breakfast had been eaten and everything had been tidied up they were ready to set out once again, this time across the vast Sand's on the outskirts of Sunagakure. They moved at a quick pace and every now and again Kyo would look sideways at him, randomly, unsure of what to say "Have you ever been to Suna?" She asked after a few hours into their movement. She was indeed curious as to whether he had been or not as the rushed across the golden colored Sand, her mind far away thinking of Kurama and Shukaku and what was to come, would she have to Seal the One Tails by force? She wasn't sure if she could. As they reached Sunagakure, it seemed to loom over the entire desert, Kyo slowed and stopped looking out at it with slightly sad eye. "Ryu" She said gently "Do you think that the Kazekage will force me to seal Shukaku?" Her eyes looked up to him "I don't think that I can do that, not even to a Tailed Beast, to trap it against his will" She gulped slightly and then shook herself "I'm not supposed to have doubts, I am the Hokage.... Ya know". Once against her eyes found his, she wasn't even sure why she spoke she just knew that she needed to say it and get it out there, she stood around a meter or so from him and felt lightly awkward now that she had said something. "Can I ask you, to not use your Sharingan unless it is to save our lives?" She asked now looking away from him "Only use it if I tell you to, okay?" Her eyes lifted slowly and she looked at him through her bright red hair, the rays of the moon making her eyes shimmer as she did so.-
 
Ryu: Ryu blinked lightly and looked behind him seeing the kage waking up. He'd chuckle lightly to himself as she began to scold him for not waking her up and he'd tilt his head nodding and smiling the entire time. He looked towards her as she brought him a bowl of ramen, he pulled his mask down and slowly began to eat enjoying the meal and the company Kyo was providing for him. “This mission depends on your talking and your sealing... Of course I'm going to give you a full nights rest, and if your like me you need all the rest that you can get...” He smiled lightly as he spoke. As they were making their way to Sunagakure Kyo had spoken up and asked if Ryu had ever been there. Ryu simply nodded with his hands within his pockets as he walked “I used to live there... I've lived in all of the main villages of this land.” he tilted his head to the side “It's been awhile since I've actually had a home.” He pulled his mask down slightly to scratch his cheek as he spoke. Once they made it to Sunagakure Ryu pondered her questions and requests “I doubt that, from what I hear the Kazekage is rather understanding of the beasts.” as soon as she had asked him to not use his sharingan unless it was needed, he gave her a nod and a slight bow “As you wish Kyo, though if they take one swing at you I'm going to put them under the influence of these cursed eyes.” He stood up straight and smiled “But not to worry, I'm sure everything will be fine.” he placed a hand upon her shoulder once more, shortly after wards letting it fall to his side once more, as he continued to follow her throughout the journey.
 
Kyo: -Kyo bowed her head gently to Ryu once before making her way quickly to the entrance of Sunagakure, knowing he would be right behind her. The Guards there looked alert until they saw he bright red hair and attire, they had been alerted that she would be sent for, Kyo removed her mask as she stopped before them, bowing slightly "I am Kyo Uzumaki, current Hokage of Konhagakure, I was sent for by the Kazekage" She lifted her head slowly her eyes scanning each of them as she did so "This is Ryu Uchiha, my comrade and trusted member of my ANBU Squad, I require his expertise". It was true that the Kazekage had not sent for Ryu AND Kyo, just for Kyo and so her bringing along of Ryu had been her own decision, perhaps Lord Kazekage would be surprised to not see Iwato among them. The Guard's bowed "Lord Kazekage has been waiting, you are a day earlier than expected" He smiled warmly "Although, I suppose that is to be expected of the Hokage" It was a compliment and she happily took it smiling at him in kind. "We will send for the Kazekage, please make yourself at home within Sunagakure, there is a tea House open in Town if you would like to wait there". Kyo continued to smile and entered slowly her eyes looking around in wonder, she had never been to Sunagakure, as they walked forward she leaned a little closer to Ryu absent-mindedly reaching out for his arm and standing closely to him, holding his arm with both hands. It wasn't something she had intended to do, it'd just happened, it was as if the very earth itself had pushed her towards him. Although she didn't seem to notice her eyes looking all around as she clung to his arm lightly, it was amazing, such an amazing Village it left her mouth hanging slightly open in awe. "Isn't it beautiful?" She breathed gently her eyes glancing all over, before she knew it they had reached the Tea House, her body still by Ryu's side as she continued to stare around, it was lucky for her that next to know one knew who she was as she stood clinging to her fellow ANBU.-
 
Ryu: Ryu stayed silent the whole time Kyo was speaking with the Sunagakure guards, though when they complimented her he gave off a soft smile under his mask and continued to follow Kyo throughout the village as they made their way towards the tea house. Ryu blinked slightly as he felt a warmness upon one of his arms and he moved his onyx gaze to where it was. He smiled softly as he saw Kyo wrapping her arms around his arm and tilted his head to the side, not saying anything about it and just allowed her to hold on to him. He tilted his head slightly as she asked if the village was beautiful to him, he brought his free hand up to his chin and lightly pinched it “I suppose it is.” he'd say as he let his arm fall down to his side once more, truth be told Ryu had once lived here long ago so it wasn't very new to him though he wouldn't say that aloud to mess up Kyo's astonishment. Once they made it to the teahouse Ryu looked to his side at Kyo and smiled beneath his mask “Seems that we've made it Lady Kage.” he spoke up as he placed his free hand atop one of hers. “Come..It's been a long two days.. let us relax for a bit.” His hand gripped the top of hers slightly as she clung to him and he walked forward, now making it nearly impossible for her to let go of him. Ryu walked her to one of the benches of the table and let go of her arm to allow her to sit down, followed by him taking a seat as well placing his elbows upon the table, and bringing his intertwined fingers up to his lips resting his head slightly falling silent and awaiting to see if Kyo would speak up again, or if she would hold on to him once more. Ryu smiled at this thought.
 
Leon: -I sighed slightly as I practically threw myself into my chair, propped my elbow onto my desk, and let my head fall right into the palm of my hand. The day had been long. Having just recently assumed the position as Kazekage, there was a lot of work to be done, and not a whole lot of time to do it in. I was slowly become more accustomed to the position, and the work that came with it. However, I’d finally finished off the paperwork needed, and could finally get a bit of time to relax, at least for today. I raised my head from my palm, and spun the chair I sat in around, staring out of the window to my office. From here, I could see almost all of the village, and had a great view of the sky above. It was currently early afternoon, and about this time tomorrow, I was expecting Kyo Uzumaki, the Hokage, to arrive here. We were going on a Biju Hunt, if you could call it that. It was my intention to peacefully acquire the power of Shukaku. While the notion of acquiring that particular Biju was depressing, as I’d worked most of my life creating techniques that Shukaku would have naturally granted me. After acquiring him, those jutsu will all become useless. However, it will make me stronger. I took a long sigh and stood up, intending to go out into the city for a cup of tea and food, but as I left my office, a messenger was approaching. With us both somewhat startled, she gave me the message. “Lady Hokage and an ANBU have arrived, and are waiting at Yamatora’s Tea House.” I blinking a few times in surprise, nodded, and waved the kunoichi away, then continued on towards the tea house after getting my equipment from inside the office. While doing so, I began thinking to myself. “My instinct is really scary sometimes…” I shook my head slightly and continued. “But, they sure arrived quickly. As expected of the Hokage. Her ANBU must be something too, to have not slowed her down.” After several minutes of walking through the busy streets, I finally arrived at the Tea House. I walked through the entrance, exposing myself to a large room lit by various torches and a few lights. After entering, I removed the Kazekage Hat that was sitting on my head, and let it hand back, falling between my gourd, which was completely filled with sake. Along with that, there was also a long Tungsten scythe between my lower back and the gourd. The scythe was a dark black in color, and in some spots, grinded down to the metal that had not been colored to display silvery decorative markings. The scythe, named Kokuma, has the ability to split the default one-bladed edge into three separate blades. Each blade is spaced 90 degrees apart, with the shaft 90 degrees between each of the side blades. The gourd was a dark greyish color, and was filled not with sand, but with Sake. As the gourd was also plugged at the entrance, the alcohol was not able to be smelled. Other than that, I wore the classic blue and white Kazekage robes, a white scarf, and classic black ninja sandals. Under the robes was a short-sleeved black shirt with fishnet covering from the end of the sleeves to my wrists, and also my neck. As for my pants, I wore simple black shinobi pants, which also had 2 scrolls and a 2 fairly large beige pouches on the back of my waist, just above my butt. I also wore a beige flak vest over my shirt, which would help defend against basic taijutsu and blunt weaponry. There were also small pockets, which I used to hold ninja tools. Firstly, the two pouches on the back of my waist were used to hold tactical tools. These tools consisted of four 30ft rolls of wire, and 8 metallic spikes in the right pouch, and 15 shuriken, 3 kunai, and 5 senbon in the left. There were 6 pockets on my vest, with 3 on each side. The top right pocket had 10 explosive tags. The middle right pocket had 6 mini-chutes and a small lighter. The bottom right pocket had another roll of wire, but this one was much longer, being 70 feet in length. The top left pocket had an assortment of ninja pills, being 4 food pills, 2 soldier pills, and 2 blood replenishment pills. There was a 5th food pill, but that was eaten while travelling to the forest. In the middle left pocket, there were 2 smoke bombs, which were black to distinguish them, 2 poison fog bombs, which were purple, and 2 sleeping gas bombs, which were green. As for the final pocket in the bottom left, there was an antidote for the poison fog bombs, a needle, thread, and a small bottle containing a medical liquid that would prevent infection in an open wound. I was armed fully, of course, reason being that since they were now here, we would be going straight on the Biju Hunt. The light inside the Tea House revealed my black, medium length hair, my fairly tanned, white skin, and my cool hazel eyes. I quickly looked around and spotted Kyo, who I recognized from a brief spar we once had, and walked over to her. “Hello, Lady Hokage. It is nice to see you again.” After speaking to her, I simply nodded to the ANBU in a gesture of greeting, hoping to get to the main point quickly.-
 
Kyo: -Once they were seated Kyo's face turned a bright red as she realized she had indeed been clinging to Ryu these past few moments, she was not sure how to react to his eyes upon her and thus simply tilted her head and smiled. His hand had left a warm imprint on hers and she shivered slightly as she looked at him, slapping herself internally for doing so afterwards. "I'm sorry" She spoke gently looking down at the table and scratching the back of her neck gently "I just get excited" Her voice was soft and low. After a minute or so of silence they were greeted by the current Kazekage, Kyo looked up to him and smiled openly, he was just as she had remembered. Bowing her head gently she responded "It's nice to see you again Lord Kazekage, I trust you've been well?"  She lifted her hand placing it happily on Ryu's shoulder "This is Ryu Uchiha, ya know" She tossed him a wolfish grin. She felt slightly out of place with the Kazekage knowing that he was many years her senior and also due to the fact that she found it extremely hard to remain formal when she was having such a wonderful time, this aside she attempted to control herself. Her eyes suddenly widened "Oh! You didn't have to come all the way out here, you could have summoned us to you, I mean unless you were busy.." She trailed over slightly her cheeks turning pink "I'm sorry, was that rude?" Kyo blinked several times and shrank back into her seat. Perhaps she had offended him? Or may have simply sounded stupid? Kyo sighed, running a hand through her bright red hair as she did so, it was currently messy around her face framing her pale skin, Glancing her white orbs gently towards Ryu she allowed herself to study him for a moment the orange hue of the Tea Room seemed to make his features look softer, or maybe that was just his expression at the moment, she lost herself for a moment before looking back to the Kazekage with a small nod of her head "I apologise if we came sooner than intended, it was my intention to get here as quickly as possible to aid you as Ryu and myself have other matters to attend to afterwards. I understand that you know where to find what you wish us to help you look for?" Her right eyebrow raised slightly in a questioning manner. "Ryu, I have asked to come partially as a safety regulation but mostly because I trust him with my life, I assure you that he is to be trusted Lord Kazekage" Kyo nodded once and gave the Kazekage another smile "I assume we will sleep in Suna for the night and head out in the morning?.-
 
Ryu: Ryu smiled towards the lady Kage and shook his head “It's not a problem Kyo, I suppose I enjoyed it a bit myself” he chuckled slightly as he spoke. After a few moments of him staying with lady Kyo, his onyx eyes averted to the one that is known as the Kazekage. The other kage gave Ryu a slight nod, and Ryu responded with the same gesture falling deathtly silent as the two kage's began to converse. After a few moments of them talking, Ryu's ears perked up as he heard his name being said that he was going to be there should anything go wrong “Yes... My sharingan will take care of them...” he muttered slightly as he pulled his mask back up. He blinked lightly as he looked towards Kyo for a second seeing her staring at him a bit and he tilted his head to the side letting his raven black hair fall to one side only revealing one of his eyes and smiled, kind of enjoying the attention. Ryu said nothing else the entire conversation, and was ready to move as soon as the Kage commanded it.
 
Leon: “Yes, I’ve been well. Finally getting used to the workload.”-I smiled as I spoke, and greeted the man who was introduced as Ryu Uchiha.- “It is nice to meet you, friend. My name is Leon Todou.” –Kyo seemed to have just realized that I’d come out to her instead of summoning her, and seemed to feel bad about it. However, that was not the case.- “Oh no, don’t worry about that. I was already on my way here. I love the tea here, you see.” –I smiled once more, and continued to let the Hokage speak, and replied. “Sooner is better, yes? But, that is correct. I know the item’s location.” –I simply listened and nodded to the vouching of Ryu’s trustworthiness, and replied to her question that followed it.- “Well, we could. But, there should be plenty of time to get to the item, acquire it, and return. It is actually not far from here.”
 
Kyo: -Kyo nodded her head gently in response "I see" was all she said simply her eyes glistening in the light of the tea Room, without a moments hesitation her head fell and her forehead planted itself on Ryu's shoulder her eyes closing. "You'll have to excuse me" She tilted her head to stare at the Kazekage through her hair "I'm tired and I think my stomach may eat itself" As if on cue her stomach rumbled loudly and she groaned gently reached a hand down to hold it. "Does Sunagakure have any nice food?" her ears pricked up as she began to think about food her eyes blinking several times her forehead still resting on Ryu's shoulder, it seemed to not bother her in her current state. "Oh unless you have to go ya know, I don't mind talking further in the morning?" Her eyes still blinked out at him behind her curtain of red hair, her pale features evident and beautiful.-
 
Ryu: Ryu blinks lightly as he continued to listen to the two talk. He tilted his head and smiled as he felt the lady kage's head rest upon his shoulder, he wouldn't say anything he only let her do as she had pleased. Ryu's gazed move towards the kazekage and he blinked slightly wondering about this man, and his abilities. He gazed towards Kyo's resting head and his eyes began to glaze over as he began to get lost within her red hair, his mind being flooded with various thoughts. He thought about his past, though very little, he thought about the conversations the two have had, he thought about the future, he was thinking about near everything. Ryu fell deathly silent as this was going on, him being completely lost in the real world, supposedly from sleep deprivation.
 
Leon: -Seeing the Hokage in her current condition, I figured it would be a bad idea to do the Biju Hunt today. Therefore, I decided on heading out tomorrow morning.- "Well Lady Hokage, I think it would be wisest to wait until tomorrow to go after all. So, I shall take my leave for now, and let you two do as you please. As for food, Yamatora, the owner of this Tea House, has some really good biscuits and gravy." -After giving a cheeky smile, I wave in a jounin to show them around to whatever they might desire, and formed a single handseal, being the ram. Almost instantaneously, a large swirl of sand and smoke appeared around me, and once it dissipated, I was no longer there. I had body flickered away to my home, and plopped down into bed, intending on getting plenty of sleep, to say the least.-
 
 
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
 
Kyo: -It was early morning in Sunagakure and the rising sun cast its bright, warm rays across the sand making it shimmer and sparkle like gold, the cool breeze pushed past Buildings and Villagers pleasant and easy. Kyo stood out on the small balcony of the room that herself and Ryu had shared rubbing her eyes slowly and looking around her as she did so. It had been a rather uneventful night but still fun, they'd eaten and then been shown to the room they would be sleeping in, it was partially her fault that they'd only had one room since she had told no one that Ryu would be coming with her. It hadn't bothered her though, they'd stayed up most of the night talking in the moonlight, only getting sleep because Ryu's forced her to. She'd slept on the floor allowing him to sleep on the bed due to feeling guilty at the whole situation. Kyo sighed gently as the sun began to rise feeling slightly at peace, she would have to come here on a vacation, perhaps she would bring Ryu. Upon thinking about him she turned to look at him laying in the bed she had allowed him to have, after much arguing, she moved inside and sat next to him placing her hands on his shoulders ready shake him slightly. He looked so peaceful like this, not serious or worried, not ready to kill, just pure and innocent, perhaps this was how he had looked once upon a time before all the horrors that had occurred. She paused for a moment and lifted her right hand pushing a small section of hair from his face, he did indeed look innocent, without thinking she leaned down and kissed his forehead once "Thank you Ryu" She spoke gently before pulling back quickly and shaking him slightly to wake him up, her face now a bright shade of pink.-
 
Ryu: After feeling a slight warmness upon his head as he had heard her soft words that was said to him, followed by a slight shake Ryu's eyes slowly opened giving slight blinks. His eyes were now fully open and he looked towards the one who had been sitting upon the bed next to him. He slowly sat up placing a hand upon his forehead as he gave a slight yawn, considering he hadn't slept the night before he had just awoken from a very deep sleep. He pulled his mask over his face once more as it had been hanging loosely around his neck before he spoke up “Good morning Lady Kage... I apologize if I had over slept...” Ryu was slightly embarrassed considering most of the time he would be the one that was first awake on missions. “And thank you for what?...” Ryu muttered slightly as he placed a hand upon the back of his neck scratching it lightly as he tilted his head to the side popping his neck. Ryu's onyx eyes slowly shifted to the side to gaze into Kyo's white orbs as he awaited an answer, feeling a tad confused about what she was talking about.
 
Leon: -It was now morning, and I’d woken with a great night’s sleep, ready to go out and hunt the Biju. I got out of bed and washed up, got dressed and ready for the hunt, putting on my Kage robes, shinobi vest, and all of the other things I’d worn yesterday afternoon, and went down to Yamatora’s Tea House for some food and drink before heading out. The moment I walked in, Yamatora brought me my usual, which was a cup of Earl Grey Tea with 3 biscuits and a side of gravy. After having my fill, I would eat a single food pill, and casually sip on more cups of tea until my friends, Kyo Uzumaki and Ryu Uchiha, would arrive. I’d hoped it would be soon, as just thinking about the prospect of engaging in combat with a tailed beast gave me much excitement. While imagining the battle to come, I became lost in thought, letting my tea go cold until Yamatora came around and brought me back to reality. I smiled and nodded my head in thanks for the tea and biscuits, then paid for it all before making my way outside, where I would then wait for the Hokage and her ANBU.-
 
Kyo: -Kyo's eyes went wide as she looked down at Ryu, his Onyx eyes staring into hers "I um, well just you know, thank you for everything" She scratched the back of her neck as her face turned a deep crimson, had he felt the kiss? She quickly stood and pulled on her ANBU Cloak then picked up her mask and placed it upon her face before turning to Ryu and holding out her hand "Let's go" She said gently. Once they had left their room, via the window of course, they made their way to the Tea House they had first met the Kazekage in last night. During the day Sunagakure was just as beautiful, people bustled past and noises were everywhere, smells that the Hokage had never had the pleasure of smelling before. Reaching out her hand slowly she grabbed Ryu's her face turning slightly pink as she intertwined her fingers with his and leaned a little closer clinging to him once again. It felt normal and natural for them to walk like this and they did so in silence until they reached the Tea Room. Kyo allowed her hand to slowly move out of Ryu's before entering and walking towards the Kazekage slowly, her mask upon her face hiding her blush "I assume you have all the information we need to set out?" She said gently bowing her head to him as she came closer. The day was sunny and bright thus far and it gave Kyo a sense of hope even though it was likely to be night time before herself and Ryu reached Kurama, or where she believed he would be, but that wasn't all then she would have to converse with the least friendly Tailed Beast and attempt to convince him to allow himself to be sealed, she gulped gently at the thought her eyes never leaving the Kazekage. "We are ready to leave when you are, Lord Kazekage".-
 
Ryu: Ryu smiled lightly at her response and gave her a slight nod as he reached upon the side table putting on his own anbu mask, the amaterasu flames painted on it gleamed slightly in the sunlight once they had made it outside. As they were walking Ryu felt a hand grasp his and felt the intertwining of fingers, he looked to the side to see the lady kage holding his hand and leaning against him causing him to smile heavily enjoying the moment they were having with one another. His onyx eyes gazed upon the teahouse as soon as they had gotten there and he had a slight frown placed upon his face as he felt lady kage's hand leave his. During the conversation between the two kage, Ryu stayed completely silent allowing them to discuss the matters that were to come ahead, Ryu ready to follow the Kage wherever they were headed to go ready to complete his mission and make his kage proud.
 
Leon: "Aye, I am ready to leave." -I stood up and began walking out of the Tea House, assuming that the Hokage and Ryu would be following. It would only take about 3 hours to reach Shukaku, and along the way, there was just empty desert. I'd found him while looking for the caves I called the Lions Den, and from there, we would head North. Shukaku lived among the dunes of sand, hiding himself should a traveller pass, not that it would happen very often. After the hours of walking, we finally arrived, and I called out to Shukaku.- "Shukaku, I have come to you now seeking to borrow your powers."
 
Kyo: -Kyo bowed her head before the Kazekage and followed him at a relatively casual pace out of the Tea House and along the vast Sand Dunes, the sun bore down on them but was almost pleasant due to the cool breeze that blew past them as they walked. Ryu, who was near her, was completely silent as she edged slightly towards him and nudged him once or twice only for her to smile at him when he looked at her. Was he uncomfortable? She was rarely sure what he felt and as they continued walking she found herself wondering if he ever wondered about her, or if he ever thought ANYTHING. Sighing gently she continued to place one foot in front of the other as they neared Shukaku's lair, she could sense him and it made her slightly nervous. The cave was tall and wide and made of rock that was slightly darker than the current Sand they stood on, it was thick and heavy and seemed to stretch up from miles as if it had been constructed and wasn't a usual part of the landscape. Perhaps Shukaku had made it himself? Kyo cocked her head to the side as the Kazekage spoke, she was slightly afraid of how the Kazekage himself would react to Shukaku, would she be forced to do something she did not wish to? Allowing herself a glance at Ryu she stepped forward slowly, her eyes narrowed as she focused upon the cave before activating her Byakugan. The chakra was immense, more Chakra than she had ever had the grace of seeing in her entire life, it made her gasp and take a small step back. "It's amazing" She spoke gently absent-mindedly stepping back right into Ryu who had been behind her, she didn't get a fright merely stood there staring ahead. "The amount of Chakra he possess is.... It's almost infinite" Her eyes switched to the Kazekage who was still waiting patiently for Shukaku's response. The massive monster of Chakra began to move right before Kyo's eyes as she stood her back against Ryu's chest her eyes unable to look away, what were they doing?.-
 
Ryu: Ryu sighed to himself slightly as they made their way to the large cave “Never thought I'd have to fight this beast again..” he muttered to himself looking off to the side. Ryu blinked lightly as he felt a small weight press against his chest and he looked down seeing Kyo surprised at the sheer amount of chakra Shukaku had in his possession. Ryu placed both of his hands upon each of her shoulders as he looked ahead “Have no fear lady Kyo. No harm shall come to you nor the Kazekage so long as I'm here...” he said aloud as he shut his eyes for a moment. Shortly after wards his eyes slowly opened revealing the cursed eye of the Uchiha clan, the Sharingan. His crimson gaze looked ahead into the cave and he tilted his head to the side “And as you command.. I won't use the sharingan to possess Shukaku unless it is needed..” Ryu promised, still keeping his hands upon her shoulders. Ryu blinked lightly as his three tomoed eyes looked over towards the Kazekage “How do you wish to go about this?...” Ryu muttered, looking the Kage in the eyes not to put him under a genjutsu ,but to show him that this mission would be done as he wanted. After the Kazekage would respond to Ryu, Ryu looks ahead back into the cave before leaning down slightly to whisper in Kyo's ear but loud enough for the Kazekage to hear so it wouldn't seem as if they were plotting “I've fought Shukaku before... He might remember me, so there is no sense in hiding my sharingan..” He lifted his head up after he had said that to his lady Kage and he continued to look forward at the cave, keeping his palms rested upon Kyo's shoulders and falling deathly silent as many thoughts ran through his head, both good and bad.. Ryu stayed in this position until either Kage's commanded him to do something, or if Shukaku would attack. He kept his crimson gaze forward ready to counter anything that would be thrown at them.
 
Leon: -At my words, Shukaku had not come. However, as if he could hear the voice of Ryu, he emerged from the cave. For a moment I eyed Ryu suspiciously, but I simply told Ryu that we would be playing by Shukaku’s rules. Shukaku had heard what I said, as he replied after emerging and looking over us carefully.- “Kid, you think you are worthy of MY power? Who do you think you are?” –To this, I thought for only a moment, and swiftly replied.- “My name is Leon Todou. My rank or titles do not make me worthy, or unworthy, of your powers. However, for the sake of ease, I am the current Kazekage.” –At this, Shukaku’s eyes narrowed considerably, as if his eyes were piercing my very soul.- “A boy like you, Kazekage?” He continued looking me over, and finally, he spoke again.- “Very well. I shall decide personally if you are worthy. I will allow your companions to fight as well. I shall test your skills, and various… other things, with this battle. As you know, if you take me forcefully with the Sharingan of that man, I will forever haunt your dreams. And if you pass, I will lend you a lifetime of my power.” –I smile, and out of respect and acknowledgement, I kneel to Shukaku as I speak.- “Very well. I accept these conditions.” –Shukaku nodded and his cave suddenly collapsed behind him, leaving only a field of sand, rock, and cacti, which spread out for several miles. There was no cover nor footholds for easy movement, at least not yet. Following that, Shukaku spoke a final time.- “Kid, I give you the honor of the first move.” With that, Shukaku jumped back, and after I nodded, I immediately formed two, almost instant hand signs, and slammed my hands to the ground.- “Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!” Not even a second after my hands hit the ground, the sand beneath Shukaku began to turn muddy and red, beginning to transform into a massive swamp to suck him down into. My intention was to slow Shukaku’s movement for just a brief moment, and allow for either Ryu or Kyo to follow up, while the other supported. I did not know their abilities in full, so I trusted them to know who would do what in this situation. Should Shukaku escape the swamp quick enough, and either fend off the intended follow up or retreat further, I would quickly form more hand seals, and activate a short series of hand signs, and the head of a dragon would appear from inside the swamp. Immediately after, a barrage of the swamps muddy liquid would fire at Shukaku, and would immediately thereafter be electrified by a near instantaneous stream of lightning from my mouth. This would all take no more than 5 seconds after the swamp was first activated.-
 
Kyo: -Despite Kyo's shocked reaction she was indeed ready for some sort of fight, as the Kazekage engaged Shukaku, Kyo fell into a crouch pushing her hand behind her "Do not use your Sharingan Ryu" She said gently before raising her hands into the Clone Seal. Kyo created only a single Shadow Clone as her eyes scanned the Battle field, the real Kyo then disappeared completely from view, utilizing her mastery of the body Flicker Technique, appearing on the opposite side of Shukaku with her back facing him her clones back also now facing Shukaku. She looked sideways to the Kazekage, who was currently paying no attention to her, before concentrating as hard as she could upon the chakra within her body and the effort of pushing it towards her back. Once said Chakra was moulded 10 Chakra Chains appeared, 5 from each Kyo, each Chain was a shimmering Gold and flew high into the air arching towards Shukaku ready to wrap around his limbs and body and pin him to the ground in order to beat him easily and effectively. "Tch" Kyo bit her teeth together, Chakra Chains was not a very comfortable Jutsu nor was in painless and it required an intense amount of concentration and speed, she closed her eyes for a few moments allowing herself to keep the Chakra flow smooth and even, it had been a while since she had practised the Technique and she did not wish it to fail. the Chains soared high in the air, if Shukaku did not dodge they would wrap around all four of his legs, his head, tail and lastly his Body pinning him to the ground, but not forever. The holding would only last so long and though the Hokage trusted her own abilities she hoped that Ryu and Leon would know what to do once Shukaku was restrained, she still had to Seal the beast within the Kazekage as well. Her bright red hair had come out of it's braid during the commotion and hung over her face as she bowed forward gripping the sand between her pale fingers as she balled then into fists her eyes now shut tight as she allowed herself to become used to the burning sensation in her back. It made her hope that she would not have to fight Kurama, she did not like restraining the beasts but she was sure that if they lost at this moment Shukaku would likely devour them where they stood. Lifting a hand she wiped some sweat from her brow as she began to breath heavily "Please do this quickly Lord Kazekage" She said gently through gritted teeth.-
 
Ryu: Ryu's crimson eyes blinked lightly as everyone had sprung into action. Ryu was then instantly coated with electrical energy around his body, using his Lightning Release Lightning armor. The user wraps their body in a layer of lightning chakra that, instead of being used offensively, is used to electrically stimulate the user's nervous system. The technique speeds up neural synapses to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed . With his newly acquired speed Ryu jumped back avoiding any backlash from attacks a good fifty feet landing upon the ground and popping his neck slightly as he tilted it to the side. “You haven't changed Shukaku...” Ryu muttered as he began to perform a couple of hand seals yelling out “Fire Release: Exploding Flame Crater!” Ryu stomped the ground with his foot, creating a crack that went under Shukaku. He then sends fire into the crack, boiling the earth below Shukaku and finishes by clapping his hands together, creating a large and fiery explosion where the opponent is making sure the fiery explosion wouldn't touch either of the kage's. He then performed a couple more hand seals “Fire Release: Burning Ash Accumulation!” Ryu exhaled a large amount of ash above Shukaku and he held his ground, the flint within his teeth ready to ignite the ash should Shukaku jump to avoid any attacks. The user spews a stream of chakra infused gun-powder from their mouth, which surrounds the region. As the gunpowder is composed entirely of ash, it stays in the air around the victim like a cloud, which can be used like a smokescreen. After surrounding the enemy with the ash, the user can ignite it with a flint placed on their teeth beforehand to create a spark, resulting in a violent explosion, burning the enemy. However, this technique requires keen senses to read the air currents, the insight to read the movements of the enemy, the tactical experience to not also enfold one's allies in the flames, and careful attention for the timing of the ignition. Ryu also made sure his ash was JUST out of range of his explosion so it wouldn't set off prematurely. Should Shukaku dodge both of the kage's techniques or a technique that would have Shukaku somewhere else, Ryu jumped back with the lightning armor still around his body and he began to perform a couple of hand seals before muttered “I need to keep him at bay with large attacks.. Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire!” The user compresses a large amount of chakra built up inside their body and changes it into a dragon head-shaped fireball. The user then skilfully manipulates that great fire, and attacks their opponent. Even outside of the attack range, its power and reliability are stressed. The flames have a high temperature, as they can create an upward movement of air currents which in turn can give rise to thunder clouds. A master of this technique can fire off several flames in succession and anyone caught in the technique could potentially be reduced to ashes. Ryu shot one of these dragons encased in flames towards Shukaku himself in an attempt to distract him, he then followed up by shooting two of them in the sky making it seem as they had missed and they explode in the sky causing a massive amount of heat to shoot upwards, in a matter of minutes storm clouds would settle above the battle a rain coming soon. “I'm a lot stronger than last time Shukaku...” Ryu muttered staring ahead towards Shukaku seeing how all their attacks would play out against him.
 
Leon: -Shukaku was able to jump out of the swamp and knock away the chains with sand, but he succumbed to the barrage of lightning-enhanced swamp-mud bullets. After being affected by the lightning and being stunned momentarily, he fell into the split ground created by Ryu, and took the full force of the flame explosion. The force of the explosion sent him flying back into the air. While Ryu was finishing up his technique though, I immediately started performing the necessary seals for the Summoning Technique, and upon completion of the summoning, a lion that was nearly twice as tall as myself appeared in a puff of smoke. Standing at just over 10ft tall, the massive albino lion was named Shishigami, and was the King of Lions, who dwelled in the series of interconnected caves, called the Lion’s Den. Along with being such a massive beast, Shishigami also had control of the Earth, and was able to use various Earth Release Techniques. Immediately after being summoned, I would jump up on top of Shishigami, and he would run straight for Shukaku, not giving him time to recover. Shishigami would attempt to bite into Shukaku’s neck and dig his claws into Shukaku as well, giving me a chance to attack Shukaku and end this right here. If it was successful, I would immediately follow up with my Lightning Release: Electricity Wave. This was a basic technique that would release a constant stream of lightning from my hands in a shotgun-like width, and would stun whoever was affected by it. As Shukaku was made of Sand, it would decide this match in an instant if successful.-
 
Kyo: -Kyo felt the chains be hit away by Shukaku once, that would not stop her, the Chains reached out again aiming once again for his limbs, neck, tail and body. This time she was determined that they would not fail regardless of what happened, it was her most effective way of helping against this Tailed Beast, her Clone still unaffected. With the chains still hanging from her back and searching towards Shukaku she stood to her feet slowly and raised her fist glaring at the ground below her. Opening her right hand slowly opened and she faced the palm towards the earth and forced all her Chakra to the Tenketsu points within it, after a few moments of concentration she slammed her hand onto the ground, Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher, an extremely powerful Gentle Fist Technique that allowed one to emit a large wave of chakra from ones hand causing devastating damage depending on range and power behind said attack. It was a move that Kyo rarely used whilst fighting as she enjoyed relying more on her Taijutsu and advanced Ninjutsu logically as opposed to just hitting things hard. However, as her palm hit the earth in front of her it began to split and break completely the hit itself making the entire earth around them shake and quiver until a Giant crater began to appear behind her connecting with Ryu's earlier cracks within the earth and creating an even bigger crater that Shukaku would likely fall into. Once the crater had been created Kyo moved forward 2 feet and lifted her hands quickly creating the Snake seal whilst turning her head momentarily and making sure to face her jutsu towards Shukaku and downwards towards the crater, Water exploded from her now open mouth, streams and streams of it seeming to never end as it poured into the crater and streamed towards Shukaku. If he was to be caught in the Crater of water there was no doubt that he would be beaten, the chances of him being able to move were next to none meaning that her Chakra Chains would be able to restrain him, it would also allow her Allies lightning attacks to be much more effective. Once the water had stop coming she spun her back to him again and shot the chains quickly towards Shukaku her hands once again gripping the sand at her feet, this would be over quickly.-
 
Leon: -Shukaku succumbed to my attacks and became stunned by the electric wave, after which he would be open to be sealed by the Hokage. However before that, I spoke to him.- “So, Shukaku. What is your decision?” –I lessened the strength of my technique so that he could speak, but not move, and he replied.- “Kazekage. You have power, and you have intelligence. You are certainly a capable shinobi. You even remind me of a man I once fought beside. You have trust in your comrades, and are able to work well together…” –He remained silent for several seconds as he seemed to come to a conclusion.- “Very well. I shall give you my power, Kid.” –At that, I undid my jutsu and recalled Shishigami, and looked over to Kyo, smiling. We had done it. We earned the favor of Shukaku.- “Thank you, Shukaku. I shall be sure not to disappoint you.” –Shukaku stiffly nodded, and we sat in silence as we waited for Kyo to initiate the sealing technique.-
 
Kyo: -Kyo, who was still crouching with the chains hanging out of her back, recalled them quickly and fell onto her knees panting and coughing slightly, it had been a very long time since she had used Chakra chains. She ran a hand through her bright hair before standing up and heading over towards Shukaku, bowing before him and the Kazekage, low and slowly her bright White Orbs trained on them. "As you wish" She said gently before raising her hands slowly "Shukaku, I trust you know how this works?" The beast simply nodded at her and extended one of his paws, placing it upon the Kazekages shoulder. As Shinobi know, Tailed beasts have the ability to transfer their chakra to anyone they desire to simply by contact this would be how the merging process would be done, once this was done Kyo would complete the sealing by using the age old seal known as the Eight Trigrams Seal. This Seal was created to not only seal the beast within for the time being but would also weaken over time so that the Jinchuriki of the Beast could gradually harness the power of said Beast. As Shukaku began to transfer his Chakra into the Lord Kazekage, Kyo lifted her hands and slammed them to the ground, a few feet away from her rose a sealing alter which she ushered the Kazekage over to slowly but surely motioning for him to sit upon it as she did so. Glancing over her shoulder at Ryu she nodded once and gulped before closing her eyes and indicating for the Kazekage to lift his shirt and lean back slightly, the Seal would be painful at first but he would become used to it. As Shukaku began to fade away he bowed his head gently in Kyo's direction as she lifted her hand and slammed in down hard onto the Kazekage's belly, feeling almost bad for how much pain he would feel as the seal began, she gulped gently. The seal was done and it shone once in the morning sun before fading away as if nothing had ever happened, Kyo however fell backwards slightly, it was not an easy task to perform what she had all within a few moments of each other and so quickly. She held herself up well as she bowed to the Kazekage, still panting from the effort.-
