Marsuri blinked a few times as she sat up from the ground, unsure on were she was. The child then stood up slowly, making sure on to keep up her gaurd however it then dawned on her.She was dead. " Well.....This is intresting,.." She said in a slight annoyed voice, now remembering everything, mostly on how she was going to kill the bat with her bear hand sif she ever got ahold of him.She then gave a small sigh while looking around, woundering if anywon was there. "well....Might as well try and find someone." Muttering this as she walked, in no direction.

Nova took a sip of the newly prepared herbal tea, the steam kissing his nose while he intook another swig of the drink.
"This is good, but I crave sweetness. Sweet ambrosia." Nova dazed off, his eyes peaking to the sky at the death clouds dwindling left and right, nothing more than puffs of smokes, but in reality, they were souls.
"Well..." The kage turned and looked about ransacking the basket he held for something sweet. "We have some Marmalade if you want some."
"Yipee!" Nova seemed to jump on the inside, but his body remained adamant in it's stature. He was not one to spoil a reputation, especially with the kages. "Give me a swig, I love Marmalade."

She then stopped in her tracks when she looked ahead seeing a man while pale skin, and long black hair that looked like silk from were she stood. She coudn't see his face for his back was too her,..Making it so the girl almost mistaked him for a women. She then took a step forawrd only to be stopped when seeing two snakes on the ground, hissing at her while baring their fangs. " Nani?....OI! Call down your snakes," She yelled while looking back and forth between the two.
A small laugh came from the man as he turned to the side, getting a view of the dead girl. When seeing who it was a small smirk appeared on his face. " So,..The Nara girl is back and in her new body no dought?" He said, making more of a statement. (2/8 )

Nova scuttled to the pitcher, and began to gulp down every drop of the drink's sweet necter, licking the droplets from his tender lips. Soon, the drink was gone, as the fountain of life ran dry, Nova began to panic to some nature.
"Xiato. Marmalade. NOW!!"
The small bumble black dragon grumbled beneath his blue energy shroud, and then immediately transformed into a large water dispenser, twice the size of an average Dasani one you would see in those cheap house retailer's places. Nova moved next to the pitcher and began to squeeze the dragon in it's shapeshifted state to receive the necter. The dragon responded by spraying him in the face, but Nova didn't mind, as long as the drink of the gods kissed his lips.

Matsuri's eyes grew narrow when hearing the snake like man. She heared rumores of him however never had the chance to meet him, only a small glance at him once when she first came here. She then shook her head slightly unsure on what to think about this," Whatever you know about me forget it,...I'm just here to learn new skills." She said while crossing her arms, having her old self take over her child like ways.
"New skills? I supose I can test you on one ninjutsu however if you fail at learning it within one earth day then you have to find a new teacher," He said in his normal cold voice not caring if she did this anyways. It just something to pass the time. The after life was slightly boring to him and this would be some sorce of amusment for now. (3/8 )

Nova poured some more of the maramalade into a side travel pitcher canteen like contraption so he could take it with him on his travel away from the two retired kages of the dead.
"This will be enough to have my tastebuds thrive on for later."
Then he checked his pocketbook for some more coins to make sure he had not dropped any when had had unpacked for cooking. The two kages remained there using Nova's equipment for a fine feast while Nova went off to go look for some fun.

Matsuri gave a small sigh as she nodded her head slightly unsure on how easy this new jutsu would take her,...Not to mention if the afterlife even had 'time'. She then watched him have out a small sand glass andflipped it over tords the other side. This of course made her slgihtly more annoyed however din't dare to say anything tords the Snake lord.
" Alright then child,..I'm going to teach you a techquice called vanishing facial copy. It can come in handy if you use it right." He said with a sick voice as if he was thinking back in time to when he used it last. He held up two fingers with his grin fading away. " You only need to go two hand seals. Ox and Snake. Then after that think of a face,..." He paused." Anyones,...Or even your old one,..Hell you can even make up your own." He said with a small shrug of his shoulders. " Now start,.." (4/8 )

"Ugh, those old guys just wanted my food."
Nova mumbled under his breath, but was not inconspicuous enough to avoid the Pandora Dragon's sensetive hearing.
"Well, I'm sure their talking behind your back as well, while their the intelligent ones who stayed back and ate delicious food that we prepared, while you decide to just go off willy nilly to wherever the hell we're going."
A brush of silent swept by, and carried off the dust of anticipation of action, but where in hell indeed. Where in hell.

"Where in the hell indeed Xiato. I don't know where I'm going in this damned endless abyss. I just want to get out of here as soon as possible. I have gained a good amount of knowledge already."
He stared at the ground below as a his bangs danced in a zephyr that rushed passed them. Nova looked to the stars, or rather, the summit of flames the impreached the sky. The stackade drew up in a spout, higher and higher, without end until it hit some sort of catalase.
3/9
"What the hell is that!?"
Nova stared at the dragon to his side. The little bumble beast's midnight skin lit up at the sight of the flames. As all curious ninja, they made their way to investigate. Night dawned in the cavernous area, and bats screeched as they swept by, wings flapping, and fangs outstretched. The little dragon was approached by one of the vampirous creatures, and dug it's face into Nova's pocket attatched to his crimson blazer.
4/9
Then, he popped out like a jack in the box, and startled the bat like a toddler with a face of an Oni, outstretching outwards from his face of putty, full of his tiny innocence.
"Stop playing around Xiato. Something is coming from that smoke stack, which was recently spitting the bowels of hell itself."
"If your so worried, why not go fight, while I go back and dine with the founders of the Hidden Leaf."
"I don't think you'll have that option."
5/9
Nova's voice irked away in a sense of splattered ink, the enigma of their minds unfolding in front of them. A large beast veered it's ugly head from the pouch that was a large crater in the surface. From it's epicenter of magnitude, a gaia rush began to crumble the crust of the land around it, caving all of it straight into the magma. The beast had a face of a velociraptor, with large spiral twisting horns pertruding from each of the sides of it's head, which happened to be 3.
6/9 With a face that seemed to be just falling off, 5 eyes could be spotted on each side of it, and a large gaping hole where a human's forehead would be. A large stream of smoke spat out from the hole in the beast's head, and polluted the air, Nova watched, instilled with something that was less then fear, but more than startlement.
"This thing, it disgusts me..." Nova's voice was full of the grotesque feeling he had lingering within himself.
"You and me both." The dragon seemed more timid though. But it may be because he had seen far worse in his lifetime.
7/9
The beast began to spew forth a focused jet stream of magma from the epicenter of it's forehead, burning down part of the cavern it was next to. The lava became in sync with the downhill flow, and was heading straight for the Koi lake where Nova's stuff was... Oh, and the Kages were eating there too! The dragon immediately tryed to urge Nova out of trying to fight the beast.
"I'll never know how strong I am until I keep fighting whatever challenges I come across.
8/9
"Damn, your too dramatic sometimes."
A circle of energy began to form around Nova as he gathered chakra to his feet, and explosion of fire came under each one of the two lower limbs he had, and he began to hover as if he had rocket shoes.
"I'll never know how strong I am until I keep fighting whatever challenges I come across."
He repeated to himself, and from his fingertips, he called out a blue fire, that formed into a long blue spear that he could hold. Several of these were created, and then stored in a little package container created by Xiato.
"Lets get em' now."
9/9
Nova flew up towards the beast, whom seemed to have spotted him immediately, and ushered a large amount of toxic smoke. Nova, being immune to such smoke from flames, sped through it by spinning the blue colored javelin to wind it all away. Then, he tossed outward 6 javelin from his palm's created that instant, along with the one he was carrying each directed at one of the beast's eyes.
"I'll blind it first. Great power used blindly can lead to one's own submission, lets hope that's the case."

Whenever the beast took a break a shot of death air seemed to fill the air, making your blood curdle, Nova's eyes flared with burn after one eye to eyes view with the creature. The spears he propelled towards is eyes were only half successful, as the beast glimmered out a cell of lava. Most of the spears easily sped through the mixture, but some of them were repelled when the side's were jutted.
When the spears hit, the fire on them expanded into a large hex spear,
2/10
"How do you like this combo?"
The fire turning into raging sphere burned the retina of the beast disabling it's sight quickly. The slime that slipped from it's face was grotesque and would subdue those with weak stomachs. While Nova looked on, the beast spin, and slammed it's club-like arm against Nova, sending him flying across the battle field. He fell into the lava, and the area drew silent. Only the whistling of smoke could be heard, and from the center of the lava pit emerged Nova. His body was covered with blade-like, diamond armor.
3/10
Nova began to rocket boost himeself with twin diamond sheet blades pertruding from his forearms, and was going to speed right through the opponent to get inside and implode them. A wave of heat implosions released as he sped by, easily shattering anything through blood combustion.
The spiral horned beast responded with a technique of it's own. Apparantly, even large radioactive beasts had techniques to defeat people when they needed it. It's ugly black claws flashed the ox, sheep, and dragon hand seals, and a backdraft of flame caught Nova's breath.
4/10
Before Nova began his flame immunity defense counter manuever, a Satetsu defense came in front of him, the tower of iron sand smiling.
"Who are you?" Nova said to the approaching man, his hair in whisps of white, and a kage cap tucked over his head, that Nova wished to acquire upon returning to the Sound and acquiring Jounin rank.
"I am Sandaime. Said to be the greatest kage of Sunagakure at it's time that had ever came to live."
5/10
"Well, I could use some he--"
The beast pounded back down on Nova, and Nova responded by using the satetsu himself in a shield fashion. The iron sand spat directly from his mouth, and enraptured the arm of the beast.
"Subaku Kyuu! Subaku Sousou!"
Nova was crushing the beast with Iron sand in assimulated form, the Sandaime assisted, but soon the beast created magma on it's outter skin to burn right through the sand, and take it's position of center ring once more.
6/10
"Attack with your sand method while I focus on my heat and pressure, if executed properly, we can create a pearl exterior to trap the beast within. The kage took no time to follow orders, and began the Satetsu Kaihou technique to send raining bullets of iron to take at the enemy. They converged back into a single attack around the enemy, a sheet of iron sand forming. The beast spewed a jet of magma from the center of it's forehead to puncture the sand once more. Nova directed the magma back onto the sand, and used his Gravity technique to place some pressure as well.
7/10
The sheet of iron began to pass through ages of time in a matter of minutes with the acceleration of it's atomic structure forming a pearl requim for the beast to be trapped within. It struggled to break free, bouncing upon and down, spewing forth poisonous byproduct gas from being choked by the tough exterior. Nova then formed several handseals, and the heat around the beast began to converge inside of it, then the heat built up, and the beast immediately imploded.
8/10
Peices of the damned abomination rained from the sky, and Nova, blood splattered, walked off the battlefield in much need of a bath.
"We'll clean ourselved up at the Sand Kage's hangout."
The Sandaime lead off a long purple rocky passage, and Nova thought twice before following the man he had just met. Though his title did serve to be evidence of his reliance, it could easily be a henge or a facial copy.
9/10
"Swell place you have here kage. I like how you modeled it in memory of your beautiful Sunagakure. Too bad that it's quite corrupt now in modern day."
"Oh really? Now how so?" The kage's eyes stared in anticipation, and curioustiy blazed them open.
"Well, the sand had joined with the sound in an invasion upon Konoha led by Oroichimaru, but the act was not successful thanks to the forces that opposed them, I being one of them." A long pause drifted after them, and the kage removed some tea from the fountain of hot coals the sat next to an aubern rug.

Nova took the tea into his hands, and began to sip from it. His tastebuds were in anticipation of a soothing taste that would make him happy, but instead he was disgusted by it's putrent taste. Pretending to like it while the Sandaime talked, Nova evaporated the drink with deadly heat from his fingertips merging into the cup.
"...Yes, and when I was around, the Shukaku host had very interesting techniques with his way of bending the sands, thus where I got the idea to run the iron sand the way that I wanted."
1/11
Nova placed his right hand against his cheek, and lazily edged against the table he was sitting next to to rest his tiresome body while the sand kage continued to ramble on and on and on...
".. Then I developed the ability to change my body's chakra system into a magnetic field. This is what I used to bend the iron sand to my whim. From there I developed techniques using the sand like the Satetsu you saw and imitated earlier. I think you also saw and copied my Satetsu Kaihou, you must have a very sharp mind in order copy those techniques so flawlessly without the Sharingan dojutsu."
2/11
"Well, monkey see, monkey do." Nova mumbled under his breath, and then sought to see if the kage had heard him.
"Pardon me?" The kage cleared his throat, and took another swig from his gold tipped glass, with pictures of Sunagakure entailed in it's sides.
"Oh, nothing." Nova's eyes wandered off to the side, pretending he was not even around to listen to the man's stories anyway. But whether he admitted it or not, the kage had some true wisdom.
3/11
"... Then one cruel day, that ninja from the Akatsuki, named Sasori came to get me, and turned me into a damned puppet. I could not exit to the afterlife until my puppet was destroyed, and I could not even think corr-- I'm sorry Nova, am I boring you in anyway? If so, please feel free to tell me, and we can skip right down to training another Satetsu skill. I know that the youth of your generation are quite antsy to kinistetically learn rather than verbally. Oh how I remember the days whenever I was a young Genin, who wanted to be Chunin, then I worked my ways up to the Jounin ranks and I loved the nice vest I got...---"

Nova interrupted him before he could continue on to another flashback of his long life, but Nova couldn't help but feel bad for the senile man.
"-- If you will, I'd like to learn that technique, and tell you more about modern day, unless you'd rather tell me more of your... interesting... legacy."
"Well of course Nova. What village did you say you for from again, it seems to have slipped my memory." Nova getsured to the side, and showed the man the sound headband that stood on the back of his neck, to protect the important parts of his body.
5/11
Nova stood up, getting off the warm velvet pillow he was sitting on and the Sandaime did the same. The steam that brewed from the tea was carried in a stream around Nova, and he made it dance around himself, the sand kage did the same with some sand that had apparently been bundled in two cone stacks near the door. When they got outside, Nova began to spit fire away from his fists and feet to burn fragmants of the ground. Then, he moved to the center of the area, and justed one flame bolt into the ground with a hard fist that would allow them to access a court of iron sand for technique usage.

"Good Nova, looks as though your already ready to preform the techniques. But remember, and easy iron sand source can be created by doing the first simple technique of Satetsu."
The old kage formed three handseals in rapid progression, and spat a layer of iron sand onto the Earth, the stackade rising higher and higher the longer he kept his mouth open.
"I forgot about that. But this first technique can be crafted into weaponry, correct? Also, how am I supposed to emulate a magnetic field with my chakra."

"Well, the magnetic chakra part is the most important, to keep control of the technique. It'll be hard to use the satetsu properly otherwise, and you may harm your allies, or enemies you wish to keep close."
The kage placed two of his old rigid hand's together by the palms, in a vertical monkey katna pose. Nova imitated him, hoping to feel the magnet within that the kage had been using.
"Focus, your chakra will find the energy on it's own. Just focus, and the energy will be brought to you. Like a magnet and paperclips."

The iron sand directly adjacent from the kage began to rise with a clump of energy, it was starting to spin into a perfect sphere, spinning on slowly like a cotton candy machine. Nova peeked from his left eye to see the kage's concentration and heard some sand drop as he had lost focus. He closed his eyes once again and did a dragon hand seal.
"This is just like Chakra Molding training, just remember from back in the acadamy. Easy, simple. Easy, Simple." Nova began to repeat the words three times in succession and then stopped as the expression on his face changed.
