"Ahhhhhhh!!!!" The humming increased as his intensity and conviction soared again, his face now fixed into a stark look of absoluteness. He had come so far now...managed to excle passed all expectation...and he was going to continue. he was going to press onward until not only he reached this goal, but the next, and next and the next and so on. He was going to be a true warrior, and true musician, a true member of the Otobe clan. he would lay claim to all of these titles one by one if need be. He would continue to soar above expectation until such time as those goal were met, and then, at the end of it, he would finally...finally be free. No longer would his piece in this game be moved about the board by others... he would be, truly and completely, the master of his own destiny. And that day was on the horizon now... it was just a matter of setting his course, and taking off towards it at full speed!

Perhaps this had always been his to begin...perhaps, as the wise man had once said, that though a king may move and man, a father claim a son, the soul is always in your keeping alone. Perhaps he had always been the master of his destiny...it was merely a matter of taking a hold of that destiny. Now as he fought against the suffering of his strained body, as he battled with his desire to give up with all his will, he was finding that he was learning far more from this matter than merely how to make himself more durable. This was a turning point in his life, a facet which, once finished, would change his life as a shinobi and a perhaps even as a person...forever. Hn...then let it come. Whatever came from this, whatever he learned of himself and whatever future resulted from this choice to move forward, let it come and face and him! Just like this trial he would endure, just like he was now he would survive and press on til the end!

The entirety of his attention was focused solely internally now, which, for someoen with his particular talents was a rather stark contrast to his usual state. In a way he supposed that was a rather ironic. For the rest of the Otobe, at any rate. Despite the fact that there senses tied them closely towards the rest of the world, brought them closer to others then most any other person on a natural level, they themselves had chosen to be self absorbed and completely internalized. What an odd observation. He truly was learning quite a lot even as he continued to focus solely on himself. Perhaps this was dangerously close to soul searching after all. He felt like laughing. Yes indeed... this was becoming dangerously close to a religious experience... he would have to keep in mind the truths of the world outside as well...lest he somewhere down the line end up just like his brethren.

Byakuran, when one got right down to it, was both a skeptical person when it came to certain things, and...almost gullible when it came to others. Anything concerning more serious situations tended to bring out his skepticism. Showing the rather worldly individual that had survived this long serving the life as shinobi...however given his rather open mind towards new information, he also tended to be rather taken in by things that even someone half his age would realize that someone was either lying or, in some cases, joking. It ended up being a rather strange clash of two extremes...but then, he supposed considering that was the nature of most everything in the universe, that didn't really make him all that odd. ...he was alone in thinking this, however, much to his ignorance.

Sure enough, he had a sliver. He thought he would be safe from such things wearing the gauntlets, but he completely forgot about his arms. There was nothing he could do about it, but simply wait for his body to reject the sliver and force it out.
He grabbed the pieces of wood and placed them back in his arm, though his arm was a little tender. He worked through the sharp pain and placed the pieces of broken tree on the pile. He wiped away a drop of sweat feeling the cool metal on his forehead. "Let me tell you. Even though being a genin is the greatest thing, the training isn't any easier."
Not that he expected it to be easy, he was simply stating fact. His work wasn't easier, though so far it wasn't much harder. He didn't want to speak it and jinx his luck. Though he wasn't sure how much worse his luck would get. He grabbed some more loose pieces of wood. He didn't watch where he stepped and stepped on a branch, which rolled underneath him and caused him to fall, losing his armload. Point proven...

Ah the divine struggle of man to answer the unanswerable, solve the unsolvable, and compromise the uncompromisable. he supposed it was a natural drive to test the limits of their environment, which was a natural aspect of their psychology, but even so it was a rather strange testament to just how much they tended not to think logically. He himself, at least, strove to think in a logical methodical manner. It was what kept him moderately sane through his childhood. But the grand majority of other people, he found, did no such thing, nor, which was completely lost on him, were they even expected to. It was expected at large that humans were overly emotional and that they would make mistakes, when, to be completely honest, it was well within human potential to NOT do as such.

As such he didn't really think they had much reason to so easily accept "imperfection". Or, rather, why they even CALLED it imperfection if, prototypically, it was what was expected. After if imperfection was the perfection then what was the point of even calling something imperfect in the first place? True humans were a rare thing which could suit two such conflicting roles given their ambiguous nature, but that was completely neither here nor there. it was the point that they seem to have gone out of their way to actually assign themselves that role when it wasn't necessary that boggled his mind. The only reason that he human mind able to make mistakes at all was because of difficulty in coordinating the human mind. If a system of proper coordination could be composed for it...a...operating system, if you would, it would be rather easy for it to not make errors.

The purpose then of calling humans imperfect by design...was it supposed to be some sort of self imposed device to make humans more humble? He supposed his own clan must not have gotten the memo. Still that would lead others among the human race to aspire to perfection regardless, when in fact it was already attained by them. Was it meant to give humans something to reach for? Was it merely a result of their own habit of self criticism? It was all very confusing and there seemed to be far to many possibilities to really narrow it down. At times like this he might suppose it was just a bit of all of them... but even of that he couldn't be so sure. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Really when one got down to it, was nothing but a fundamental part of human morality at this point and there wasn't really any way to investigate the matter... a shame.

That wouldn't stop him from thinking about things though. He supposed that made it something of an oddity. Here he had been pondering over humans doing the exact same thing not a little while ago, attempting the impossible when it wasn't logical to do so, and yet here he was doing the exact same thing. well, he supposed he was a human after all. And he'd already established that he was, indeed, a strange fusion of two extremes, some inconsistency and paradoxes were to be expected from such a thing, so he supposed that, in a sense, there was really no reason to be surprised in the slightest. He took a moment to make sure that he was still holding him, his body feeling as though he had been walking a hundred miles...on his hands... he didn't really feel like he was going to collapse any time soon, his drive to complete this urging him on, but even so he was well beyond anywhere he would have considered his normal limits... he supposed that was actually a good sign.

The whole reason that he had started this seemed rather hilarious now. He'd begun this so that he could learn the minor vibration jutsu, but now that he was well on his way to succeeding it was so much more then just that. It was a turning point, a point at which his life would begin, the first step on his journey taken. It was something that he truly take pride in, something that he would have actually earned on his own. It wasn't something that he would owe to academy, or to his clan, or even to coincidence. It would be a skill, an act, and a stalwart sense of ability that would his and his alone to take credit for. This was something that he was going to do...something that he was going to finish. it was so much more then training...it was path towards freedom...towards his dreams...towards making his will his own...

But that was only a temporary fix to his dilemma, of course. The next opponents he would even have to face after that were, in fact, mere trifles to his greatest hurtle, the greatest trial which lay before him. Mortality. Memento Mortis. Remember you are Mortal. That was the greatest issue that, at the end of the day, was still looming over his his head. He suspected that the devil of Oto himself must have been thinking along the same lines. The fact of the matter was that no matter how strong he became, no matter how powerful he grew, he would still have to face the same foe which, until this day, had, if something else didn't beat it to the punch, slain every great ninja up through the ages. Time. He was restricted by it, restrained by it. No matter how he fought or rejected it's flow...in the end it would come for him...

Even if he were to become twenty, no, thirty times more powerful then he was right now, he would still succumb to the cold embrace of death in time... it was the fate of all would pass...the fate of all humans. They were born with an expiration date...born to die. Those with end. But... but there had been one, long ago, a devil to the minds of so many, who had managed to break this destiny. One who had managed to uncover a supposed secret to immortality. The notion was extra ordinary. A Ninja who had managed to conquer time. But...in the end though he had managed to conquer time, he could not conquer the strength of the foes who had arrayed against him, and in the end though he had beaten time, he was slain by other means...
Even so... he'd come close, so very close. And that was more then enough reason to believe that there was hope.

After all though it was not really considered, Spirits lived in inordinate amount of time...why? He wondered if he should find some way to research the matter. That might actually lead him to a plausible answer. After all, though it was true that spirits were not ordinary animals by any stretch, they were not, in base principal, all that different from ninja. It was, in fact, belived that spirits had been the ones whom ninja's originally emulated their powers, following their example to bend chakra to their whim. What then, by process of elimination was the difference between Ninja and Spirits? Well for on ebasic biology, but he doubted that that had much to do with it. Spirits came in all shapes and sizes after all, so that was highly unlikely. Perhaps...
His expression actually looked slightly askew even as he continued to push himself into his training. Wait...that was it!

The Spirit world... Spirits may have been similar to Ninja to almost an absurd degree, even the levels to which their powers could ascend were not really necessarily all that different. But their environment... that was completely different. He had...no, perhaps every single ninja born, had been making the problem too complex. The key difference between spirit and Ninja was that Spirits spent most of their time in the spirit world. A place of mystery and magic, where strange and otherworldly energies were said to collect and gather. If that was indeed the case, then maybe iot was possible...no, probable, that these energies had some sort of effect on the spirits themselves. If that was indeed true. Then maybe by going there, by finding a way into the spirit world, it would be possible to find a way to harness these energies... could THAT be the key to the secret?

it was aid, after all, that the devil of oto had had a strong connection with the serpents of the spirit world. If that was so it wouldn't be completely presumptuous to assume that he had found a way to enter the spirit world itself to strengthen such a bond. If indeed that was the key to somehow unlocking the secret... then it wouldn't actually, knowing that, be completely out of the question to master. Most ninja got caught up the affairs in the world at large. Political squabbles and the more mundane affairs that, while Byakuran admitted fascinated him, could also distract them from remembering the spirit world itself. This might be why none had since the devil had ever bothered to attempt such a thing. It was enough that they could bring the spirit worlds power to them in the form of summons...they might never have bothered to try the reverse, and again even if they did try so for the intent of gaining the life force of the spirit for themselves...
