A thick mist permeates this small graveyard created by Qastor for his friends family and students. It is kept by him and a permanent mist of chakra prevents outsiders or vandals from entering this sacred place. A few weeping willow trees arc around the graves and south of the arc a waterfall pools in an alcove, its a small but peaceful and solemn place filled with a few graves.
Buried here:
Rios Sanji
Kevin Kinto
Netto Hayato
Mizu Kanraku
Shade
Shinto Raiken
Turtle
Grimjaw Raiken
Zaine Tsukioma
Zack Fair
Srian Uchiha
Taiyou Uchiha
Raine Okazi
Seseni Okazi
Sotaru Okazi
Akira Uchiha

He took a hold of Rins hand, it was hard enough to see through the mist with a dojutsu active, much less the mist eyes were useless here and only someone knowing the way could lead you. Leading her through the mist they arrived at the foot of a waterfall, the water pooled and crescented around the ground near a large beautiful willow tree, the crescent soon took the shape of an alcove as their vision came to them. The mist rolled away to reveal grave markers, tens of them, placed in even rows in the arc of the willows, the water running smoothly around the alcove and off in two streams.

The air was serene, and gave the old mizukage a good indication that wherever they were going was not a place to be taken lightly. As it came into view, she found herself to be quite correct on that matter. Letting go of Qastor's hands, she stepped forwards without moving the slightest speck of dust. Rin took a glance at each individual name on each marker, a sense of weariness settling in her tone. "So this is what's become of everyone in Vapour." She sighed, not appearing bitter or truly tired anymore. It was like a numbing sensation to know that so many that she knew were buried there. "I've always believed that I'd be the first one down there. It's funny how life changes that."

He knelt beside her and put his hand on her shoulder,"No... you wish that you will be the first to go.... but in reality.... you know you will always be the last one left standing...." He closed his eyes and took off his hat, he walked to Shades grave stone and placed a small picture of his family on the marker. "I found something for everyone," he said softly, it was clear he would never stop his work trying to make his dead friends and students feel better, even in death. "Shade never knew his parents, even if he betrayed us, a boy at least deserves to know his parents," he smiled softly and moved to Rios grave placing the straw hat,"He always liked these." He went to each individual grave taking some item of significance out of his pack and placing it on their grave, it finally came down to the last four, at the masterful center willow.
He knelt down first at Taiyous, he placed his hand on the marker, he wanted to speak but it was clear he was obviously in need of comfort surrounded by the reality of his lifes failures.

Rin seemed to pay more attention to Kevin's grave. He had been the first student she had ever taken on seriously. It felt like eons ago, despite the few years that had passed. The first to try winning her swords, although it did not end how he wanted it to. She smiled at the fond memories of those times. She eventually followed Qastor to the other four graves, the names on them both familiar and fading from her current memory. Yet they all seemed to hold the most impact for Qastor. "It's not always easy, especially when you teach them for so long. Yours...Well, they certainly lived life to the fullest. It's nothing to be ashamed of at all." She said calmly, watching him in case he broke down or something like that. While her approach was usually laced with reasoning, it seemed to be something that most of her loved ones appeared to lack any control over.

"Taiyou, if I hadnt left, you wouldnt have wanted to come after me.... you wouldnt have hurt Artemis... none of this would have happened..." He turned his face to Srians grave,"You were always the stray, the older brother, the parent, the black sheep, if I had just made you feel a bit stronger, maybe you wouldnt have pursued such an unattainable thing, that lead to your death." He left a picture for Taiyou of Artemis and notched kunai for Srian,"Raine..." he moved closer to her grave. "I pushed you hard and left you unprepared, but you did your best and you lovingly sacrificed yourself to keep me alive... I will never know why... but I still love you... no matter what I ever said." He placed an ice crystal flower on her head stone and moved to Sanas grave, he knelt here and clenched his fists.

Sitting back, the sannin found that it was most likely the best time to speak up when Sana's grave came into view. Rin was right on these parts, Qastor really did view only one side of what death was. For now, this was probably her turn to talk to the cold stone in the ground. Personally, she saw no true merit in it, further voiced by the Gobi. "Why do humans cry over stones with names on them? Have they no respect for the dead?" She acknowledged the wordless comment with a silent one of her own. "Not all humans hold the same morals that I do towards these things. It's merely a way to remember them by." She replied, earning a silence in return.
When she was sure the biju was satisfied, she spoke. "We never did end up having those long talks we thought about Sana, even if you were my sister-in-law." It was more unnerving than she thought, talking to the grave of a person who might not actually be dead for all they knew. "I am, and will remain grateful to you for taking such good care of Kirama and Qastor when I couldn't. You can also rest assured that Tenichi is finding his own place in this world, and that my Haruka will do everything she can to keep him safe." That was pretty much all she really wanted to say, but it still felt somewhat incomplete. "So thank you for everything. We might not meet again in this lifetime, but we'll surely see each other one day." She formed a set of seals, placing her palm on the ground as a flurry of lights shot through and expanded out into the mist, adding on a faint glow to the surroundings. When she was done, Rin smiled. That should be enough. "And until that time comes, no element will touch these graves, no matter what storms come this way."

He smiled to her,"Its just a grave.... I know this... Ive always known this, its just easier to have a place to go when you want to talk to your old friends or students... ask for advice... just feel a little better." He stood up and placed the flowers on her grave, in the beginning he thought he knew and provided her with all she needed, but even in those times he was always wrong. "So what was that you wanted to talk about to me, Rin-sensei?" He smiled now, his sadness gone, talking to them meaningful or not had gotten something off his chest.

Rin relaxed, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Well, you know how I said that Tenichi decided to travel alongside Haruka? It's a little deeper than that." She laughed, clearly amused by this. "All I'm saying is that we better keep tabs on them. He may be going after her, but you know how she is. Before they know it, they'll be stirring up trouble together." It was something she was not completely optimistic about, but interested in seeing regardless. "You should see them though, it's quite cute."

"Well it cant be all that bad, their in Rogue right now, those people deserve a few good pranks now and then. Besides they can care for each other, as long as Haruka doesnt bite the heads off of her young." He chuckled and stood up, "this place used to be so bare, but I made it into a beautiful sanctuary for our beloved friends and students and family."

"If it only ended with pranks, I wouldn't be so worried about it." Rin gave him a flat look, skeptical that he really believed that was all that they would be doing there. Still, it looked like he did not hold too much concern over it and opted to do the same. "It's quite impressive, I'll say that. Now if only this place remained this way years later." She grinned, looking at the scenery with a thoughtful gaze.

"Come on, I dont think they would be that stupid," he winked to her,"We should get back to the village, cant ever tell what that bastards planning."

James went and stood in front of the Grave of her late husband, she gazed upon it for sometime and set a picture of her and Teddy on it. 'Well, things have been tough without you. Teddy seems to have progressed almost farther then you haha, but I know that to progress further that he will have to come for me. Then maybe we can finally see each other, Teddy is just like you too...sometimes it pisses me off but he has a good heart somewhere, he doesn't seem to like me. He's almost completely tamed the Hachibi, not like myself haha' She sat for a moment in silence and gazed upon the grave.

Teddy appeared as he didn't have his cloak on and he had scratches and bruises all over his body, he was done fighting Hachi. " Mother its been some time," he mumbled as he walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
