Welcome to Gaia! ::

Luo sighed as his head remained slightly tilted downwards as the brim of his nose and his mouth were the only things visible under the hat other than his hair. "I see. Don't make that mistake again. Now what is it about these eyes which set them apart from the rest of the Byakugan eyes if I may ask?" He then sighed a bit as the other man made it to the rooftop to explain everything. "I see. Well, where do I play in to whatever it is you may be getting at, and what exactly is it you are getting at?"

EDITED

Luo sighed a bit. "My shinobi career isn't exactly secret information Mello. Any kid on the side of the streets of Kirigakure could recite to you my progression through the ranks, it's stuff they learn in the academy." Luo paused for a moment as he followed the man's eyes back to his companion. They seemed to be plotting either the same thought, or action, but what it was Luo could not decipher as he was posed a question that seemed irrelevant to the conversation. "You mean the belief in parallel universes that as a whole make up the entirety of everything that exists? Yes, I've heard of this theory."

As Luo stared at the man as he spoke, he wondered why the man even wanted the eyes of one of the Akatsuki members. Was it all to prove a point? "Mello, what is it exactly that you want from me? I know the theory well enough to know the endless possibilities behind it. I know it well enough to know that in another dimension, I would be the one holding the container, and you would be the one in these robes. But what is it about these different possibilities that I should be interested in?"

Since LT was not needed in the mist ranks any more LT packed his belongings and cleaned the office once more. LT finished his activities with ease and sat in his chair for once last time this time facing the windows to view the village that was his home. He never wanted to leave, that was not his intentions of becoming the grass kage. His real reason to be the Kusakage was to help make the mist stronger, but now his services were no long needed, he had to go. His eyes started to burn and that scared LT, he knew what this was, but it never happened to him before. He quickly wiped the tears away so Matsuya couldnt see. Thats when the office filled with ANBU instantly each ANBU soldier came and shook his hand and patted him on his back and they told him to come back and visit. Some gave him hugs and talked about old times and missions they had with great laughs, each one making sure they did not reveal any secret information. Just how LT taught them, you can have fun, but make sure work comes first and be mindful of your surroundings. He taught them well and they were the best of the best, the Mist ANBU. After many farewells LT got up and drew his sword, he bowed and saluted the Mist and disappeared in a swirl of mist.
Exit

Shigoro sighed and looked up at the clouds. He absent-mindedly extended his hand and formed a Tease on his palm, letting it flap its wings. "As I said, the best of all possible futures. The Elder in question refuses to reveal what will happen, since he says that knowing the outcome would automatically preclude the future itself. Something about transdimensional variables."

Shigoro snapped his hand closed, silvery blood from the Tease falling from his gloved fingers. "then let me tell you a little interesting something that the Elder has seen fit to tell us. While he can't tell us the end of our target 'future' he can tell us specific events that he can foresee in other 'futures.' When we go out for missions such as this he usually rambles, but he said something rather interesting this time."

Shigoro looked the Mizukage in the eye, his cold golden orbs staring into Luo's eyes, the ring on his left hand glinting in the sunlight. His voice was, as it always was if he wasn't acting, completely emotionless. "He cannot see you. He can see anyone in the world in any one of their 'futures,' but as you are now he cannot see you at all. The only possible explanation is something that we've encountered before. The Elder saw all the possible 'pasts' of the person whom he couldn't see, and followed their trails. They made a single decision that collapsed their 'futures' into two paths. You are at a nexus point, Lord Mizukage. You are going down one 'future' that will end in... something, the Elder does not know what, and nor do we, though if the last one is anything to go by it will be exceedingly nasty. There is another path, off of which all the 'futures' end with you taking these eyes. I cannot tell you what you should do, but this is an interesting tidbit, is it not?"

((His name hasn't been said yet.))

Shigoro looked up at the sky again. His hand opened and the silvery blood flowed back into the Tease, which immediately sat up, fully healed, before sinking back into Shigoro's hand. "Before I answer please deactivate your Sharingan. I appreciate that you are cautious of us, as any intelligent ruler would be, but it is rather offensive to attempt to learn our secrets while simply speaking."

Another Tease sprang up from the back of Shigoro's hand, this time made of mercury. It compressed itself into a ball, which Shigoro began to pass back and forth in the air between his hands, the slightly oblong orb of silvery liquid metal never quite touching either of his hands. "And as for your other question, you do have the capability of changing how it ends. There are trillions of possible 'futures' branching off from every nanosecond. In some of them you have attacked us already. In others you might not be using your Sharingan. And the only reason that the Elder couldn't see the last one's future was because he had none. One decision he had made collapsed all of his 'futures' into a single path. There was no possible escape for him, and he died very soon after. The Elder cannot see the 'future' of someone who does not have one, thus he cannot see the 'future' of one who is dead or about to be dead."
