A village located a little bit higher than Hidden Ascension. This village is actually what seems to be floating on a cloud. This is provided by the dead kages spirits using to float the village just above the rest of the nations. Officially they are a part of The Wind Country. But they prefer to not be assimilated into the rest of the villages.
Clan's
Death Eaters - Three Remaining - The Nomad clan of the Hidden Lands. Not much is known about this clan except that with each clan member they grow stronger. However, The Death Eaters are not born...They are created by the evil and spite of the world...Making them the first evil clan by nature. Death Eaters possess a few clan techniques that make them a difficult clan to fight against. Notably the appearance of the Death Eaters are genderless. While they can look like males or females, they are genderless for they are not born. Death Eaters illuminate at Nighttime emitting a strong Black Aura. Only Five are allowed in this Clan.
Death Swallowers- Three Remaining - This Clan has similar origin to their brethren the Death Eaters, except they are made from Greed and Treachery of the world. Causing them to be different in multiple ways. Death Swallowers have the primary capability to absorb attacks. While Each Death Swallower is different, they can each absorb one specific attack. Rather it be Taijutsus, Genjutsus, or One Specific Element...They can absorb these attacks and make themselves stronger...Death Eaters can consume souls. If the Death Swallower is in the general area of where a person dies, they get stronger. Death Swallowers also have direct ability to connect to their soul; they are able to create weaponry from their own souls. Death Swallowers are Genderless much like their brethren meaning that their numbers are low in rank. In the daytime They emit a strong Black Aura... Only Five are allowed in this clan.

Tamashi walked around what passed for a village for the Death Eaters and Death Swallowers. He was ready to leave this place, to venture out into the world and devour souls, ripping them from the bodies of their owners. Of course, before he leaves he needs to master a few of the techniques of his kind. Before he leaves the village, he wanted to be able to absorb damage, to limit the options of his foes, as well as the ability to capture and hoard the souls of those he kills. Learning these techniques is a matter of working on channeling and controlling his chakra to defend him from damage and turn the energy from the attack into his own strength, as well as working on channeling his chakra to grab the souls of the slain before they can escape, in order to add their strength to his. A lot of the training he needed to do relied on chakra control, he realizes as he thinks about it. Absorbing and reflecting damage, absorbing souls and transforming them into weapons. He would train in these techniques, then venture out into the world to absorb the strength of others. Bringing death to the living, and devouring that death and their souls for strength. That is his purpose, his goal, his plan. To inflict punishment upon them for their sins that had given birth to his kind, the sins of greed and treachery creating him.

Tamashi trains further, working on harnessing chakra and the power of souls. He spends an hour working on the chakra manipulation needed to negate and absorb damage, limiting his enemies’ options when fighting him. After that he works on the chakra manipulation needed to trap the power of someone’s soul after killing them for another hour. To finish up, he works on the chakra control needed to turn someone’s soul into a weapon that he can wield, for another hour.
After this training, he goes and reads about the various villages, looking at where he might be interested in visiting after training. There are some other techniques out there that interest him, and he plans to journey and learn them while pursuing his goal of gaining power. He then spends time training his body and chakra control in general, working to get stronger in all ways.

Without resting, for one like him, not of the actually living but merely a manifestation of their darkness, Tamashi continues to train. He continues working on hoarding the souls of those who die around him, harnessing their power to make himself stronger, a technique named Spirit Hoarder. It is hard to do without anyone to slaughter right now, but he still managed to work on the chakra control and channeling to shackle the souls so he could harness their energy. This was a few hours of training, until he felt like he had made enough progress for now. He then moves on to a technique that lets him turn those consumed souls into weapons that he can use against his enemies, a technique named Spirit Tamer. This was also quite difficult to practice without hoarded souls, but he still works on the chakra control and channeling that had been explained to him by the dead kage spirits that held up the village, so that once he has hoarded souls he would be able to instantly channel them into weapons. This also takes a few hours, part of which is spent training in combat with actual weapons. He moves on to the last technique for now, what was considered the ultimate technique of the Death Swallowers of Hidden Soul, the technique named Damage Absorption, allowing him to absorb the damage his enemy tries to cause him and turn it into strength for himself. These techniques were the basis of things he wanted to learn, the basis of what it meant to be a Death Swallower. After training that for a few hours, practicing chakra control and harnessing, fortifying and channeling chakra, he takes a break to plan. He needed to plan what he would do and where he would go to continue training and learning.
Feudal Japan and Feudal Tokyo have several sword techniques that he could make use of, such as Shugeki To Sei, Gotsui Tosei, Dim Mak, Omnislash, Feelings of Ki, Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, and Deceit. Hidden Light, in the Land of Earth, had some good ice based ninjutsu that he would love to use. Hidden Leaf, in the Land of Fire, had lots of good techniques, from ones like Hell Viewing Technique, Bug Paranoia Skill, and Genjutsu Release, to Kamina Genjutsu, Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere, and Typhoon Water Vortex. Hidden Katana would allow him to sword that he could use without souls, as an extra or back up weapon. Hidden Gears, which like Hidden Katana is in the Land of Iron, had a couple of ninjutsu of interest. Hidden Snow, in the Land of Snow, had many techniques of interest, including ninjutsu such as Rouga Nadare no Jutsu, Aisu Kirikae no Jutsu, Hyourou no Jutsu, and Souryuu Boufuusetsu. Hidden Mist, in the Land of Water, had many techniques of interest as well, focused on water, such as Rising Water Cutter, Houmatsu no Jutsu, and Hidden Mist. Hidden Whirlpool, also in the Land of Water, had many, many genjutsu that he could use to weaken his enemies. Hidden Waterfall, in the Land of Water as well, had a couple of water nature ninjutsu of interest. Hidden Rain, the last village in the Land of Water, had a few water nature ninjutsu of interest, such as Water Release: Stormy Blockade, and genjutsu such as Mist Servant Technique. Hidden Wind, located in the Hidden Federation that Hidden Soul itself is part of, had several wind nature ninjutsu of interest as well as a couple of kenjutsu. Hidden Blood, in The Outlands, had a few blood based techniques of interest that could grant him healing, damage, and defenses. Those were the ones he thought had techniques useful to him.

Tamashi continued with his training, returning to the top to continue working on Spirit Hoarder, a technique based on hoarding the souls of those who die around him, harnessing their power to make himself stronger. It is hard to do without anyone to slaughter right now, but he still managed to work on the chakra control and channeling to shackle the souls so he could harness their energy. After a few hours of training this he then moves on to Spirit Tamer, a technique that lets him turn those consumed souls into weapons that he can use against his enemies. Without hoarded souls, he still worked on the chakra control and channeling that had been explained to him by the dead kage spirits that held up the village.

These techniques were the basis of things he wanted to learn, the basis of what it meant to be a Death Swallower. After training that for a few hours, practicing chakra control and harnessing, fortifying and channeling chakra. After this bout of training, he once again stops to plan. He would focus first on the villages that had techniques based around the element of water, the element that he was proficient with already. This meant the first places on his list of locations to visit was Hidden Snow, Hidden Water, Hidden Rain, and Hidden Waterfall. After that, if he had found some souls to absorb make into weapons, he would head into Feudal Tokyo and Feudal Japan for sword techniques, if not, he would head to Hidden Katana first. After these, he would finish up with the other villages of interest, especially Hidden Whirlpool.

Alyx sat alone at a simple unpolished wooden table in a simple unpainted wood and brick home. He had never been one for extravagance, and his quarters reflected that perfectly. His belongings were few, neatly arranged here and there in his single room, more for practical access than for aesthetics. Alyxandr was nothing if not humble. He had little need for creature comforts or extravagant accommodations. He merely kept this place so he could keep his belongings there. A locked room in the middle of nowhere more than a home. There was safety and peace in solitude, and Alyx had never much enjoyed the company of others that he had no intention to kill. He had no need of sleep or food or such requirements that plagued the mortal world. He was born of hatred, and thrived on it now. The last thing he wanted was neighbors.
He held a fountain pen in his hand and was writing slowly, thoughtfully, his thoughts focusing and projecting through his hand and onto the page in scrawling bursts, as black as the hand that crafted them. He had been sending missives for the last few days. His plans were many, and although he hated the thought of it, he would need the help of others to bring them to fruition. An empire alone was quick to fall, he knew. This story had been played out countless times, under the watch of countless emperors less apt than he. Their mistakes would not be his own.
He would take his place, but not without the assistance of those beneath him, and even some of those he would go as far as to consider his equals, as few as they were. He knew his task was a great and difficult one, one that had fallen to him after countless others had failed in it. They had not his mettle, his will. They had failed because they had been weak, and through their failures, the Federation had become weak as well. No longer.
Alyxandr was already making allies, forging alliances. Soon, a United Federation would make it’s mark upon the world. The kages would fall, one by one, to the will of the people. Of the masses. These masses needed only a strong leader… him.
Since his time at the academy had ended, he had grown in power considerably. He had made this a priority. The swallower Falezure had humbled him. Showed him his limits, taught him what he needed to do to take his place. For this, after the sting and embarrassment of defeat had subsided, Alyx was thankful. That the one to defeat him had been one from his very same village only served as proof of the potential might of a United Federation, considering how poorly the core village girl had fared against his techniques, whose name he had long since forgotten. A mere stepping stone to his greatness, not significant enough to warrant remembrance.
Falezure, however, would be greatly rewarded in the end for his service to Alyx, and by extension of that, the people. The swallower knew not the service he had performed for his fellow free man by humbling their future savior. He was an unwitting teacher. His name would be remembered for all time.
His pen came to rest as a strange sound in the distance broke his concentration, his cold and vengeful eyes looking up from his desk hatefully, though the walls of his house blocked his view of the source of the sound. A sigh escaped his chest, the sound wheezing out shallow and harsh, as if pulled through broken glass before it could be heard. Ragged and broken, much like he had once been.
He lightly laid the pen and parchment down, sliding them toward the middle of the table to be continued later, the ink still wet on a half-finished letter. Wearily, the death lord stood on young but wary legs, as if the very movement of his joints pained him.
He made his way over to a small window and peered out, his golden eyes surveying the darkness for the source of the sound, but finding nothing but inky black looking back at him. Hidden Soul was a dark place by any standard. While there were few lights in the village itself, there were none here. Alyx had little need for lights to tell him where to go. That he could not find the source of this sound now was somewhat alarming.
Narrowing his eyes, Alyx sighed again and made his way to the door, throwing it open and he stepped out into the black.
He already wore his blade, even here in his own home. He was always ready to kill. Such was his purpose, and it seemed that he had such a purpose to attend to now.
---
The denizens of hidden soul, as few as they were, went about their “lives” as they did every day. Shinobi and citizen alike wandering the cobbled streets under cover of darkness, minding their business. The village was nearly silent, as it normally was. A sudden, foreign sound broke the relative silence, a high garbling call in the darkness, high and piercing.
There was a few seconds of silence, followed by another call seemingly in return, this one coming from another direction entirely.
And then another, from another direction still. While the people of Hidden Soul did not look alarmed, there was a sense of curious, but wary tension that came from this sudden, unknown sound, like the call of some beast, not particularly threatening, but still unknown..
This sense of general safety was broken with the sound of panicked shrieks, and then silence, a gruesome audio display that played itself out again. And again. Each time more frequent than the last.
In the darkness, the source of the apparent assault was not immediately seen, only the sounds.
Suddenly, as if in a coordinated attack, pandemonium broke loose in the center of the village as the birds descended upon Hidden Soul, tearing into shinobi and citizen indiscriminately. Some brave shinobi began to try to mount a defense of their home, and were quickly overwhelmed and pulled into the amassing sea of beaks and talons, and warm, spraying blood, their screams nearly unheard over the gobbling, gibbering mass.
Beyond the noise, another sound began to grow, drowned out over the sound of turkey death at first, but growing and growing until it was the one doing the drowning, the new dominant sound. A grating, droning buzz began to take over the other sounds of the invasion, though the source of this sound was unseen at first as well.
At the edges of the invading turkey armor, beyond the light of the village, a new sound began, as violent and gruesome as the sounds of the villagers, but different. The sounds of panicked gobbles made their way towards the center of the village.
A wall of black made its way into the almost nonexistent life of the city, blotting out the stars with it’s approach. As the wall grew closer, it swallowed up the turkeys, who had nowhere to run as the black buzzing wall corralled them into the center of the village, closing in upon them.
Coming fully into the low light, the nature of this buzzing black wall became apparent, it’s surface writhing and crawling as thousands upon thousands of carrion beetles flew around eachother, crawling and clacking menacingly.
This mass of beetles began to split into sections, each section turning it’s focused attention to one of the invaders, washing over them in a wave of death, leaving behind naught but bones, picked clean. The turkeys, once targeted, stood no chance against the swarm. Each turkey was quickly overwhelmed and it’s flesh removed in mere seconds before the swarm moved on to the next source of food.
In mere seconds, the center of the village was littered with the cleaned bones of bird and man alike, and a single figure stood among the wreckage, facing off upon the swarm of birds that still came as if spawning from the darkness itself. He held a single bird by it’s neck in his outstretched arm.
”You should not have come here…” Were his only words to the bird as black flames flickered to life in his hand and eveloped it’s body in a few screeching seconds of agony before mere ashes fell to the ground beneath the fist of the Death Eater. Drawing his blade, he turned to face off upon the fowl army.
The black flames flickered from his hand and down the cold black steel of his blade, his armored hand seemingly unbothered, though it was now engulfed in the concentrated darkness. His near-golden eyes regarded to encroaching army. He winced slightly, the movement confined to his eyelids, as the pain of the fallen made its way into his mind, slamming into him like a wave. Despite the recoil associated with his armor, behind his black mask, a smirk was beginning to grow upon cracked, dry lips.
The pain of rule was in obtaining and keeping it. He had found his free time limited as of late, and he had not taken a life in some time. His calling and his passion had taken a back seat to his destiny, in a way. Though he was as resolute in his goals as he always was, it was a great pleasure to cause so much pain, so much death, like a release of tension, a cathartic release of the rage he had built in these last few months as he set the scene for his ascent to greatness.
All of the anger and frustration and annoyance he had held within for the sake of his destiny was coming out all at once in a symphony of death, and he was relishing every moment of it, even despite the pain that he felt from his armor. If anything, this recoil was a reminder of the pain he was inflicting, a source of encouragement, a novel new flavor of suffering to distract from the gnawing hatred that ate at him at all times.

Tamashi works on continuing his training. He felt himself start to master the skills of a Death Swallower. He had mastered what was considered the absolute basis of Death Swallower techs, that of Damage Absorption, and the technique that was derived from it, Damage Reflector. These techniques allow him to negate the damage of opponents’ attacks and turn it into strength for himself as well as unleash that damage back at the foe. Quite poetic, the hatred and greed of the masses created him and he had the power to reflect that back at them. He had also mastered the Spirit Hoarder technique, that let him hold onto the souls of those he had killed and turn them into power. These techniques were the start, but he still needed three more. Spirit Tamer will allow him to turn the souls of those he had slain into weapons, while Godiva’s Rage allowed him to turn his hair into a weapon. Not really of his interest, but just a step on the way to the ultimate Death Swallower technique, the Soul Summon. A technique that allowed him to turn his own soul into a sword with which to destroy his enemies. It was what he truly wanted to be able to do. He worked on Spirit Tamer, even without absorbed souls to harness, focusing on the needed chakra control and channeling, as well as working on combat skills with actual weapons. He then worked on Godiva’s Rage, though that was only half hearted training. He then moves through the village while thinking, using the time to exercise his body. He knew he wanted to start with the water based villages, learning various water element techniques. His base chakra nature was water, and the power of water to erode and eat away at things felt appropriate to him. After that, he would head to the martial, weapon based villages to learn several weapon skills that would be useful with soul conjured weapons, as well as physical weapons. Then he would have a good assortment of Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu, and possibly a touch of Taijutsu, though that wasn’t really that important. After those came the last few various villages, several of which contained the last part of his plan for what he wanted for his strategy, and that was Genjutsu. To weaken his enemies in his mind, then destroying them with weapons or water. That sounded like the perfect plan. A slow, gradual, but inevitable destruction of his enemy.

Tamashi continues to work hard training his skills. He wanted to, no needed to, master all of the techniques of the Death Swallowers before he left the village to travel. To not do so would be to not have pride in what he was. Tamashi was proud to be from Hidden Soul, those who came into being to revisit the sin of mankind upon the world. He practiced several techniques of chakra control and channeling, to master the last few techniques that were left to learn. There were also other jutsu in the village that he wanted to learn, but those could wait until after he had traveled and learned from other villages. But he had to master the Death Swallower techniques first. Then he would be a fully trained and skilled Death Swallower.

Konpaku continues to train his skills as a Death Swallower. Working on chakra channeling and chakra control to master the techniques known as Spirit Tamer and Godiva’s Rage. Once he had mastered those, he can move on to the final technique, Soul Summon, that allows him to turn his own soul into a weapon to destroy his enemies with. He trained with the dead kage spirits holding the village up since he didn’t have any held souls to use to practice with. He also takes time practicing with actual weapons, for when he was wielding souls as weapons. He then thinks about his plans after he finishes learning techniques and training in the village.
He would focus first on places with water nature techniques. Hidden Snow, where he could learn many techniques of ice nature jutsu of interest, including Rouga Nadare no Jutsu, Aisu Kirikae no Jutsu, Hyourou no Jutsu, and Souryuu Boufuusetsu. Hidden Waterfall, in the Land of Water as well, had a couple of water nature ninjutsu of interest. Hidden Rain, in the Land of Water, had a few water nature ninjutsu of interest, such as Water Release: Stormy Blockade, and genjutsu such as Mist Servant Technique. Hidden Mist, in the Land of Water, had many techniques of interest as well, focused on water, such as Rising Water Cutter, Houmatsu no Jutsu, and Hidden Mist. After he had gone to them, he would head to either Hidden Katana or Feudal Tokyo and Feudal Japan. This depended on if he had collected souls to turn into weapons yet or not. If he had not, he would go to Hidden Katana first for a blade, if he had he would go to Feudal Tokyo and Feudal Japan for kenjutsu techniques. He would then go to the other village or villages. Feudal Japan and Feudal Tokyo have several sword techniques that he could make use of, such as Shugeki To Sei, Gotsui Tosei, Dim Mak, Omnislash, Feelings of Ki, Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, and Deceit. After that, he would focus on genjutsu in Hidden Whirlpool with which to weaken and debilitate his foes. He would then head to Hidden Leaf for lots of good techniques, from ones like Hell Viewing Technique, Bug Paranoia Skill, and Genjutsu Release, to Kamina Genjutsu, Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere, and Typhoon Water Vortex. After that was probably a toss up between Hidden Gears, Hidden Wind, and Hidden Blood. That would be plenty of techniques for him to start with, though it would probably take a long while for him to master them all.
With the water nature ninjutsu as well as the ice nature ones he would have a good amount of ninjutsu. Then with the kenjutsu he would have a good amount of weapon skills for more up close combat. Finally, the genjutsu would allow him to debilitate, weaken, and distract his opponents, making the fight with kenjutsu and ninjutsu easier to accomplish. Going after the mind and body for a combined assault. After thinking about plans and training, he resumes training the two techniques he was working on. After a couple more hours, he had mastered the two and could move on to training Soul Summon.

He then works with the dead kage spirits to learn the final technique of the Death Swallowers. That of Soul Summon, creating a sword out of his own soul. This technique, unlike Soul Tamer and several others, he can practice without having souls hoarded. As it used his own soul to create the sword. He just had to work on channeling his soul and controlling the chakra that shaped it into a sword. He is able to do it briefly, but not long enough for the technique to be viable in combat. He continues working on this for hours, managing the technique for longer and longer periods each time. But still not quite yet long enough to be usable. After a while, he takes a break from the training.
He walks through the village, stopping to eat at a ramen noodle shop. He ordered a bowl of noodles and sat there eating. While he ate, he thought about his plans. The first villages he was planning on visiting had water nature jutsu yes, but he needed to think about what order he was going to visit them in. He will go to Hidden Mist first, where he can get a lot of good water nature ninjutsu. Hidden Mist, Mist Instantaneous Body Skill, Water Prison Technique, Rising Water Cutter, and Houmatsu no Jutsu were definitely ones he was going to learn. After that would be Hidden Snow, where many ice nature jutsu were waiting. Itsukaku Hakuegei, Tsumetai Hashira no Jutsu, Aisu Kirikae no Jutsu, Tsuin Kesshou Yari, Tsubame Fubuki, and Hyourou no Jutsu were definitely ones he was going to learn. After that was Hidden Rain, where a few genjutsu, Mist Servant Technique, Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique, and Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique, were waiting to be learned, as well as the ninjutsu Water Release: Stormy Blockade. Finally he would hit Hidden Waterfall, where he would learn Tornado of Water, Taikigakure Ryuu: Mizukuri no Yaiba, Sky and Water Convergence, and Water Dragon Whip were waiting to be learned.
He then returned to the training area and resumed training in the Soul Summon technique. He could summon the sword long enough to take a few swings now, but nowhere near long enough to be viable in combat. He continued to work on channeling his soul and controlling the chakra that shaped it into a sword. It wouldn’t be long before he had mastered this technique, and then he would leave the village. To head to new villages and learn more techniques. And maybe find this Alyxander that had recently become the current kage of the village and congratulate him.
