Sage knows instantly where she is the second that she would break through the thick but yet brightly lite mist. Sage knows without a doubt that she was once agian in the land of the afterlife. Sage then starts to feel a slight rage causing her to grit her teeth tightly together because of the fact that she was once agian been unable to save herself due to action that were really beyond her controll. Even though there was a little confert brought to Sage's mind by the fact that she was once agian seen these lands now twice more that she planned to since coming to the academy.

Sage knows that she would need to travell in a southwardly dirrection so that she would more likely able to quickly seek out and eventually find the only person that Sage knows would need to be seek out and eventually found in order to be able to quickly be able to turn around the misfortion that casued Sage to have to return to these lands into a meaningful training mission. Sage decide that she did not want to waste any more time and would quickly start walking in the direction that would lead her towards the Third Hokage who is more commanly known as Sarutobi.

It was only a few minutes after Sage had broke through the thick yet very brightly lite mist that covered everything that she would be able to get her bearing in order to be able to figure out the directions. Sage would then take a rather deep breath and hold it for about a half a second before slowly starting to exhale the breath and then turning to face the south. Sage would then for the first few seconds start to job before quickly picking up the pace into a full out sprint. Sage wished to get as much training time as she would be able to in before she would be able to live this place. Fire Dragon Flame Projectile: Post 6 of 11

Sage would continue to run at the full sprint in a southwarely direction at a pace that was close to a rate of about a six minute per mile pace in order to cover the distance as quickly as she could. Sage would continue at this rate as she covered the three miles of thickly covered land before the fog would clear and she would see the ground. Sage would not slow her pace at which she continued to travell at until she passed the fifth mile and would happen to catch the sight of the figure off in the distance that she would recognize instantly even though it was still a good distance between the two shinobi.

Even though Sage had slowed the pace at which she was still sprinting while continueing to close the distance between the two of them. Sage was now running at a pace that was closer to about a rate of eight minute per mile pace. This pace was a rate that would allow Sage to be able to catch her breath while still continueing to close the distance at a fairly quick rate of speed. Sage would not slow her rate of travell agian until she got to a distance of about a hundred yards from the great Third Hokage. Once reaching this point Sage would stop running and go straight into a walking pace. Fire Dragon Flame Projectile: Post 8 of 11

As Sage would come into the full view of Sarutobi, who would now instantly stop the training that he was preforming in order to help him keep up his techniques that have allowed him to become such a famed shinobi. Sage would note quickly that Sarutobi was now looking at her with a slightly annoyed facial expression seemed to come over his face upon seeing the newly promoted young journin girl that would now stand before him. Sarutobi would instantly know that she was probably the most powerful and highest ranking member of the Miyanari Clan of the Hidden Cloud Village. Fire Dragon Flame Projectile: Post 9 of 11

Sarutobi would shake his head back and forth a few times before stopping the movement. The Third Hokages facial express had returned to his normal starn look before he would then take a very deep breath and pause for about three seconds before saying, "May I be of some service?" Sage would not want to keep him from the routine that he had been preforming in order to keep up with the many different techniques. Sage would then take a normal breath before bowing and holding it in the down position. Sage would then say, "I was hoping that I might be able to touble you for a little bit of hel training."

Sarutobi would then respond with, "Just what technique did you have in mind?" Sage had heard of a few quite a few of the techniques that Sarutobi favored the most. Sage would then remember the only one she would like to learn the most of all. Sage would then say, "I was hoping to learn Karyuu Endan." Sarutobi would then slightly nod and say, "That is could be a very useful technique. The first thing you will need to learn are the handseals." Sarutobi would them make the handseals series and then say, "Karyuu Endan." At the completion of the phrase he would then turn his head and then blow a large jet of fire from his mouth.

A shining sapling grew up from the floor and the First Hokage smiled. Mitsuko thought it was a very cute techniqe he pulled. "Would you like to learn this technique?" asked the first in a cheerful tone. Mitsuko didn't want to offend the first, and she had all the time in the world to train, so why not? Mitsuko smiled and nodded.
The first nodded back:"you are a wise one, because you weren't put off by the apparent uselessness of the technique. I shall teach you this jutsu, which in reality is quite advanced and of a special elemental mixture." The Hokage clasped his hands together and showed Mitsuko the full extent of the technique.

The seedling sprouted rapidly and twisted all the way up to the sky. Mitsuko was amazed at the speed of the growth and noticed that this technique can have many uses. The First looked at Mitsuko's amazement and smiled. Eventhough she was eager, this will not be an easy technique to learn. This would require a solid amount of chakra and a combination of earth and water elemental.
The Hokage noticed that Mitsuko can manipulate both these types, and so decided to teach her. He was not the legendary Hokage for nothing, and this technique did create konohagakure, the greatest of all ninja villages.

Mitsuko listened intently as the Hokage instructed her on the technique. "The first thing to do is to take a seed and plant it into the floor. You must always have a seed, because chakra cannot be generated into matter. Once the seed is planted, you must feed it with your chakra and it will sprout. The types of chakra you will use are earth and water type chakra."
Mitsuko didn't know about the earth part. She only knew one technique that has to do with the earth element. The first noticed her uncertainty and retorted:"You never know if you will fail or not unless you try, so why not try it?"

Mitsuko didn't know how to go about getting a seed in the afterlife, but she needed one. Mitsuko was just thinking about this when a seed popped out of nowhere and planted itself into the floor. Never the one to ask unnecessary wuestions, Mitsuko concentrated her chakra and notice that it was brightly violet and was burning intensely.
Mitsuko made water style chakra and then tried to focus on the style of chakra she used for swamp of the underworld. The water chakra came out blue and the earth chakra a murky brown.

The two streams of chakra went into the earth. Mitsuko was surprised at how easy it was to guide your chakra in the afterlife. At first, nothing happened, then the Hokage and Mitsuko smiled in unison as a tiny sapling shot up from the darkness. It continued to grow until it was up to Mitsuko's waist, and then it stopped.
The first Hokageexplained:"In the afterlife, the chakra you will be using is your soul chakra, since that's the only part of you that exists after death. You must rest your soul just like you rest your body in the real world. Right now you still have enough chakra, but you are probably not as good at controlling soul chakra.

Mitsuko then realized why the chakra was so visible and burned so intensely. It was her soul. But she doesn't feel like her soul is being lost, and so that meant that souls can be recycled in the afterlife. This is a strange place indeed, thought Mitsuko as she reformed the strands of chakra. This was going to take a while, thought Mitsuko.
The Hokage looked on with mixed feelings. Mitsuko reminded him so much of his grand daughter. She was so strong in terms of will, but here she was, in the afterlife. A person so talented and intelligent has their life ended so quickly. But the Hokage was certain that there was much more that lay ahead for mitsuko.

There was no need to sleep in the afterlife, but your soul gets used up too wuickly if you train too much. Mitsuko personally noticed this when she started growing dimmer and dimmer as she kept molding soul chakra. Now her features were more clearly defined then before. Before going back to training, Mitsuko took the trouble to check out the other pillars of light.
There was the three Hokages and Orochimaru, and two shadowy figures that were the fourth Hokage and the fourth kazekage. It was hard to tell, but this was the afterlife. she also found that all the people from the Jounnin exams were dead.
