Oda - Destroyed Samurai Base
Rice Country The Black Spring events destroyed everything that once was in the Rice Country of Oda. Once the location of the Samurai Base, the men and women that were against the rise of the Shinobi, Oda now lays in ruins, with few reminders of the plots and deals that once went on here. Not much can be said about the remainders of Oda, nothing more then rubble and lost memories.

Everything was dark... yet he could feel his sorroundings...or so he thought.He could not see but he could hear... screeeaams shouts of desperation,people desperate because of something.. and an unbareable heat. The heat came close to him he could feel it until then he could see it... a great fire bursting into life in the darkness coming right at him and he couldnt move.....then as fast as it came... a little streaming sound... like droplets on a cave echoed... and the cold chilling sensation of dampness... he was being carried carried by a force unknown to him yet familiar and he could hear the splashing of this force on some rocks until it came to a stop...and only asound of metal clinging was heard...
Seshiro opened his eyes... or atleast one eye... he had the other bandaged up and in a lot of pain..in fact his whole right side was in pain. He first looked at himself and examined every inch of his body with his eyes. He had parts of his right side burned and he was dressed in black garments, black robes.... as he looked around he noticed he was in some sort of carriege with bars... a cage carriage..and he was being escorted by a group of Samurais. They where all dressed in light armor and carrying naginatas in there hands while having their Katanas and jitte in their belt.
He was being carried towards Oda... the capital of the Rice country and as he looked at the rice fields he was being transported by he remembered... He was trying to get to Sukotto in the Village.. the fight had gone terribly wrong. When he saw an opening he shot forward towards his body when a great explosion coming from his right side blasted him away... everything began to blow up around and he wa sthrown down in the swamp... it seemed he was carried to a river and who knows where from there...but nothing explained why was he imprisoned...
"Hey.... hey any of you.... get me out of here.. why do you have me on a cage.. i demand an explanation..."
Seshiro grabbed hold of the bars of his carried pulling at them as he shouted towards the guards but none of them answered, much less even looked at him. Then some footseps.. hoove-steps in fact, where heard and a man in a great Shogun armor appeared. His helmet had blades coming from the back of it with the tips pointing upwards an dthen arching around making it look as if he had a Rising Sun in the back of his Kabuto Helmet.
"Silence prisoner... your kind has brought nothing but trouble to the Daimyo.. you and all your Shinobi kind will be imprisoned if they show their face again!"
and with those words he galloped towards the front of a small caravan in which they where part of. He looked like a formidable warrior and man.. his face and stance reflected his rank and it could be seen by just looking at the reaction of people around him that he breathed respect..
Something had happened and it seemed that the Daimyo had found out about it. Seshiro walked a few steps back from the bars and threw himself siting crosslegged on the floor.. He was in chains,some kind of chackles that held not only his wristes but part of his hands so that he couldnt perform Handseals correctly. Looking at his hands his face covered by his dark dreadlocks he meditade into what was happening, he needed to device a way of knowing what had happened and if his friends whre allright...yet it was best this way.. thy sureli thought he was dead and for now that was more than he had planned...

Seshiro lifted his rigth hand to touch his right side of his face. He couldnt se very well through that eye and as soion as he placed his hand on it he felt great pain surging through his head. He flinched retracting his fingers from his face and sighed knowing that his face was burned too on the right side...He could surely heal to the point of having no scar or even trace of the injurie but it would definately require a lot more concentration than normally would.
Looking up again at the way they where travelling the rice farms around the place seemed to have some small system of dams to control the travel of wter between crop areas so it must mean there was a river close by. He could still see the swamp in the distance so he hadnt been carried that far off..
"Now where exactly am i?"
From his sorroundings he could deduce that a) there was a river nearby.b) he wasstill in the rice country and c) there must be a large city nearby if they where gonna take him to jail.
He hadnt know much of the rice country since he mostly lived in the swamp but this was as good as any moment to learn all he could.

As they approached their Destination the wind grew a bit more. I had somewhat the taste of salt in it wich made Seshiro remember Shimagkures shoreline....That was it wherever he was going must be near the shore. Possibly a port city.
If his speculations where right he had to keep all that in mind for later. Port cities are centers of information so it meant he could gather whatever info he might need from around there....provided that he managed to escape Jail.
The salt in the wind made his burns tingle a bit. Seshiro stretched his arms upwards as he could from being sitting in the same position in a lot of time and decided to stand up. He moved his neck to a side and then to the other making cracking sound with his bones that echoed through his head like thunder. His movements where all slow since he was still sore from all the figthing and whatever else that had happened.

The carrieage stopped for a moment and Seshiro moved to try and see to the front. It seemed that The Rising Sun General was talking with some villagers about something Yet he couldnt make up any of it.
By the looks of it the place was a Side road shop of food and supplies but the place looked as if it had been sacked. He paid closer attention to the place and it seemed that there where burnings on the walls of the shop but it didnt look like fire had made em... Acid. only one thing came to Seshiros mind....Akumu.
" Ok so there still are some alive"
Not only where they alive but they seemed to be travelling around oin search for food. As Animals they where they would simply attack wherever they found it so that would pose a big problem for these ronin protectors or whatever. Later on if he decided to track them he would need to keep in mind food places near desolated areas.. since by the looks thats what they would preffer.
The farm owner's house was close by too so the shoguns would probably pay a visit there before going off their way.

The landscape was changing. It seemed it wasnt that plain anymore .. instead the horizon seemed filled with small hillas and elevations in the terrain with what seemed to be more complex preparations to support rice farming. Then a bit to east of the road there it was... It was a city but it seemed simply like a huuge village build around a big mountain sorrounded by smaller ones. There where trails between mountains and going up and down from them, In the biggest elevation was the small fortress of the Daimyo sorrounded by some wealthy looking houses to the west. These wealthy houses well decorated and elevated on poles on some sides so to stand at level were a sight to behold... while to the east houses grew a bit poorer until they arrived to the shore of a river. The river let out into the sea and here in the shire was the Harbor...
" whoa Open see.. ok then i knew i had that figured out now where am i been tak.... oh.."
Just as Seshiro's eyes darted around he noticed it. To the back of the Village and placed high in a Mountain there it was.. a great prison built in stone from the stone of the mountain itself... . Although all other mountains where just steep by steep this was a really sight to see, being the rice country a plains country this was the highest place showing the proximity to the lightning country mountanous region.
The Prison seemed older than the country itself .. pherhaps a remain of whoever lived in these lands before this Daimyo... and if that was true... figuring out would be worst that anything. Specially since it appeared that the only way in was either the dangerous trail in the mountain, visible to both the prison and the whole village... or the back cliffs which seemed certain death.

It seemed Seshir wasnt going anywhere. He had planned to wait till he got better from his injuries but like this it seems that there was no way for him to escape without being spotted or killed.
Shifting his weigth from his right leg to his left one Seshiro stood inj the cage looking down at the Village as they travelled the road to the prison. The salted wind hit Seshiro's face harder than before and as he went up he could seee the whole Village.
Analizing the different paths he noticed that the village was very easily watched from up here or even the Daimyo's house for houses where very seperate from one another making it easily to spot anyone travelling its roads. Yet there where places that if someone knew them well he could sneak around perfectly.. though it would take a lot of effort and ime for someone to study such places... Fortunately times was something Seshiro had in great quatities here in jail.
He couldnt do anything to prove his innocence so trying to dialogue that was out of the question. Seshiro looked into the horizon pass the river. The shore went a long way till the scenery was lost and in the distance one could See high moutain peaks enshrouded by clouds and mist... the Lightning country... pherhaps if he ever escaped he would enjoy travelling that way....
As son as he returned his eyes to the road the carriege stopped... it wa at its destination.. the jail gates where opening to receive him and he didnt even know whether this was fair or not

Seshiro was carried around by two guards after having been brought into the prison and taken out of the carriage. They both held him tight by the arms making sure he couldnt escape no matter what. They walked him up some stairs towrds the higher floors. All the walls felt so cold to the touch, it seemed it was eternaly winter here and now with winter in it was as if every wall was a block of ice. When they got him to the cell They simply dropped him in and took his shackles away. As soon as they took them off Seshiro began performing handseals and the guards looked at him with eyes wie open.... but suddenlly.. nothing happened....
The guard closest to him brought the hilt of his Katana rigth into his stomach making Seshiro drop to his knees
" Try some s**t like that again and ill cut your hands off snake eyes freak"
Seshicouldnt understand what had just happened yet he culdnt think o it now , he was obviously in pain... as the pain subdued he hear the cell door close, a heavy steel door with a little bar window with an outdoor door at the top of it and a small door to pass food at the bottom. The size of the food comprtmen told him he wouldnt be getting much food here for the hole was barely as big as two fists put of together.
" Why cant i suse any ninjutsu?"
"Have you even looked around of yourself"
Seshro sharply turned to look into the cell it was pretty big but empty... and it had a hhi ceiling and a small window almost at the top of the wall.. unreachable to him for now... but to his surprise... there was nobody else with him..... The voice.. the raspy voice that he had just heard... that slithering noice that made his ears screech.... where had it come from?
"Whos there?.. show yourself now"
"Yourself is the right answer"
Seshiro turned again to face the door but there was nothing there
" What are you Talking about?"
" Ahh so youve forgotten about me already? Let me remind you, I was the one that got you into figthing Natamo in the first place and into a lot of Trouble with Shuga during training"
" Id.... I thought you where..."
" A part of your mood? yes in a way but the Seal has given me frreedom.. now focus you nutcrack... theres a seal here preventing us from escaping..."
"Hey but..."
But Id was gone. it seemed that double personality of him was getting stronger and he needed to subdue it fast but he had noticed something he hadnt... Looking around he was trying to spot the seal but he couldnt see anything in the walls or the ceiling but scratches of some sort.... then it hit him.... The whole cell was a seal.. The scratchings where mere scratch but carvings.. they carved the Fuiin into the walls so it couldnt be easily removed and the worst part was that this seal was the thing preventing Seshiro from using his chakra... and if he couldnt , he wouldnt be able to Control Id.. and he probably would go insane talking with himself forever here in this cell

Seshiro walked closer to the walls to inspect the Fuiin as closely as he could. He had watched Tomoko work on her Fuin a lot of times and he had looked a bit into Ayas training scroll for these too so his best hope was to atleast recognize something from his limitted memory about it.
The seal marks where huuuge and very deep si erasing them by erotion or any other method was reeeeeeally inprobable. Seshiro passe dhis hands round the markings trying to figure anything out but the huge size made it difficult. He knew there where fuin seals in all the walls but the lines where mostly straight and slight curves here and there that where really hard to determine in the low light that came to the cell
" What kind of seal is this? ive never seen anything like it"
Seshiro walked from wall to wall hoping to find atleast one seal he could recognize so perhaps he could at least guess something but nothing made sense, nothing seemed familiar.. all was different from everything he had seeen

As he finished his look at the walls he ended in the smae place as where he was.. staring back at the cell door and still no sing of any common seal.. Yet the seals went upward. Seshiro raised his eyes up making his dreadlocks fall backward over his shoulders.his sight closely focused into the lighting better since he had been here for a while already and it wasnt until now that he hadnt figured this
"Wait a minute... this seems odd....these drawings dont seem to end focused on no other sign... unlesss"
And there it was.... right above him, in the roof..... a great seal symbol that probably worked as the main build for whatever barrier this was. and then it Hit him.... h e hadnt recocknized any seal for he was looking for normal size symbols.... but the truth was all the wall carvings where one gigantic Fuin Seal, encasing the whole cell's inside.... Now that he had figured this out he had to decipher what the Big fuin was...But that want gonna be easy.. having sinbles cutted down in half placed in different planes and those placed in corners would be hard to recognize.. this was gonna be one hell of a job...

Seshiro walked to the center of the room and laid down in the floor looking up at the ceiling. The markings where slowly taking familiar shapes that Seshiro at least remembered seeing. His old a battered robes fell closely to his body and his now really long Dreadlocks laid spread on the floor like the tentacles of some kind of Kraken stretching to grab anything in any direction he could find it. His face was serene and almost as stiff as if he was dead for the exception of the slow movement of his stomach as he breathed.
"....Think Seshiro... Think!...... if this one here meant this.... and that one over there was used ..... its useless theres too many scattered symbols for me to try context clues."
THen as he looked upwards he noticed the pattern wherent placed as normally they would.. this seemed more like a drawing of something but what exactly? and the Drawing wasnt directly by the shape of the being but positioning words of the part in the place it is supposed to be located in the shape.

The day was already growing dark. and the visibility growing low in the darkened room. The shapes where still embedded in Seshiros sight but they slowly lost shape as he couldnt see them....his thoughts wandered from this place to the outside to what must have been happening... he could hear the wind whistle and howl as its strength grew. He stopped and closed his eyes to try and see it , the waves getting bigger and more dangerous as the night came in.... The light entering through the only window was orange, dark orange almost red... And a sigh escape Seshiro's lips as he craved to be outside and far away from thisplace
" who am i kidding... where am i supposed to go? either here or elsewhere im still away from people .. isnt that what i wanted? blah"
Hith a discouraged look he inspected again the symbols in vain as he wondered what might be happening in the village... THey where probably grieving those lost.... He didnt even know if there where people lost.... after all Shima Shinobi's were great ones... pherhaps everyone was already at home and fine... Yeah.... Ichi would probably be congratulating everyone right now with his half smile and looking at everyone as if they where his children...Yeah thats exactly what was probably going on... and They must be feasting and boasting... Victory.... they deserve it...

Seshiro's eyes were getting tired already and his body was in need of a lot of rest. The day was coming to an end and Seshiro was deciding that perhaps he had achieved a lot today taking into consideration the fact that he had known nothing of his current position. He got up from the floor moving his hair out of his face as th dreadlocks slowly fell into place. He could hear footsteps coming closer towards him little by little as they echoed through the walls of the prison. Suddenlly they stopped when he heard them most . With a metalic sound the small door at the bottom of the cell door slid to the side and a rasping sound was heard as a metal plate was send sliding through the stone floor.
".... hmm... guess they are not that bad as to leave me die...."
Seshiro walked towards the plate to inspect what was in it forgetting totally about the seal in this moment.There was bread in the plate.... yet it seemed it was a bit old. The bread was not yet rotten or anything but it was getting a bit hard. Also there was a little bit of soup although it was so weird in appearance that Seshiro could not tell what exactly was it made off. It had so many chunks of stuff inside that it might aswell be made of body parts of a dead person...

Seshiro pulled the plate closer to him for he needed to eat something. He couldnt go on thinking on an empty stomach. Now how was he gonna eat this? His face of frustration and disgust for this wasenough to disencourage any other being from eating this...His gaze travelled from the plate to the fuin and back to the plate ins a tilt motion slowly making his hair wiggle a bit.
" what did i do to deserve this?"
Taking the piece of bread he was given he broke a small piece and dipped it in whatever that thing was. Part of Seshir wished it to be poisoned but deep inside he ate it because he wanted to stay alive...

Seshiro's hand shook as he lifted that small piece of dipped bread into his mouth stopping for a second in front of his mouth just before taking it whole... the taste was....repulsing....yeah that was the word. But it wasnt because it was bad tasting or anything.. but that the cook hadnt done such a good job. There was like no taste of meat at all and somehow it was very difficult for Seshiro to survive without the taste of meat. His eyes narrowed in and they became watery as well as he wrinkled his nose because of the lack of taste. His jaw movement was exagerated as well as....... THE FUIN..... that must be a thing.. why was the drawing exaggerated like that? there must be an explanation for why did they do it so big on the walls
