Welcome to Gaia! ::

It had been days since Jet Kazama had last seen Sumiya and even heard anything from the members of the Owls. He had understood that Sumiya had to leave for important business but for the owls, there was always work to be done. There were always people who were part of connections and webs of events that would threaten the balance the Owls held onto so dearly. In addition there would always be people who were trying to eliminate the owls themselves. The owls knew this, and so did Jet.

So when he had not seen Kyrie nor heard about her, he was concerned. But she was strong, smart, and more importantly a deadly member of the owls. She could take care of herself. And if worse came to worse, then Jet will have to do the Owl work on his own. Before the sudden disconnection from the owls he had knowledge to a few people that were a threat. Orignally, other members of the owls called a specific person to kill, but he would do what had to be done if the others could not. He needed the work and the respect if he was to become a deadly member.

To clear his mind from these things, Jet Kazama engaged in training by one of the open fields of Hidden Wind. He was practicing a hybrid of wind techniques and various roundhouse kicks. There were a bunch of people that were unconvinced that someone as young as Jet could handle the responsibilities of being on the council, which was his reason of seeing the hidden villages. He figured that if they got to see his face, get to interact with him and see what he has in battle, they would be more convinced.

Jet performed 4 quick backsprings with such speed, all one with normal eyes would be able to examine was Jet's hands and feet planting the ground each time. The transition, the spring itself would become a blur. At the last spring Jet leaped up into the air, called upon his chakra to draw into his few wind element attacks and launched two wind blasts. The entire string of agility and power was finished with Jet landing in a kneeled position with a hand planted on the ground.

He slowly rose and took in a few breaths from the atmosphere, wiping off a few beads of sweat that was forming along his forehead before continuing. But before he could initiate his next sequences involving the wind element and taijutsu he had heard somebody called his name out. A nasty feeling formed a bit inside of his gut immediately afterward. Being here for a few days, jet had gotten used to the people who were here, knowing their faces, and voices and such. But this one he did not register, it was a new one. And one that spoke as if he knew the Council member.

Jet had remembered Kyrie telling him that cloaking device she gave him had no effect on those who had seen him in the flesh. Otherwise he was off the map when it came to sensors and other similar techniques used to pinpoint specific people of interest. Could he have been finally caught by Marasol, who had been in disguise to get close to the Jin. "No, Marasol would confront me directly.." Ergo, Jet erased that possibility out of his mind, along with the possibility that his old friends from Hidden Stone had caught him finally. Feeling a bit better now knowing the 2 possibilities were expunged, Jet looked behind him to see the source of the voice before wheeling around.

The man was short, possessing height along the borders of the average female. The Hidden Volcano Jounin nearly had an entire foot over him in height. He had red short hair as crimson as the lava cooking inside the depths of Hidden Volcano with a more lean, muscular build than Jet from the weight difference. He looked...familiar, but Jet couldn't put his finger on the thought. "Yeah." he simply responded. "Figured I get some training in. And how do you know my name?" he asked the stranger.

The stranger continued to speak as if at multiple points, they had crossed paths and possibly worked together. Examining his attire more, Kazama would have remembered traveling or fighting alongside an actual Kage. They were not only a respected figure but one of the strongest in their respective village. If he fought one, then the battle would have been most memorable that Jet would have placed a portion of his motivation to fight to have a rematch one day. Whereas if he traveled with him he would have sought out information, advice, and teachings from how to run a village and the mistakes they have suffered from during the progress; all the way to becoming a better shinobi overall.

And not a lot of people possessed the same haircut design that Jet had, nor pull it off successfully. It was only when the stranger removed his headpiece did he remember who it was, with the addition of the stranger revealing his identity. "Adell!?" he poked his head out towards Terumi slightly as if he was trying to read small scripture from afar. His mind then took him back to memories where things were more simpler. "Oh s**t man, it's good to see you!" he told the Kage with a friendly handshake offer.

He had remembered Adell Terumi, the greatest ninja in the world maybe. Jet recalled the two of them taking on Eli, the shinobi that threatened to destroy Jet's home village the same day the two met. They fought alongside each other to take down that monster for good. Kazama even still had the ring that Jordan gave him after all of these years. There was no way he could forget that. And then there were the exams, where before they stood side by side; now they were opposite sides of the board.

Jet was already coming in at fifty percent of what he should have came in with, and after the last battle before Terumi where he emerged victorious with luck, he was at a disadvantage with Adell. But with heart, blood, sweat, and the motivation to go on, he held his own against Terumi; a marvelous match as a result. Even when Jet was down to a almost a quarter of his chakra, he managed to push Terumi almost half way through his.

In the end it was considered a draw. Nobody was the victor, nor the loser and the two moved on to becoming Chuunin. From there it went downhill. "I was knocked in the hospital afterwards." he disclosed to Adell. He was sure he wondered about Jet's condition and where he was afterwards "I carried my wounds from my last fight over. When I was done I was going to find you but when i woke up..." Jet remembered the rest, seeing himself in his hospital gown defenseless as the dead feasted on everything that was organic. "I was somewhere else. Since then I just been going my own path you know?"

Because of this, he wasn't sure if he could agree with part of Adell's statement. Before Jet was under care from Marasol, had friends who stuck by his side, staying out of trouble whenever he could. Now Kazama was part of one of the most deadliest assassins in this world; participating in events that murdered mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, all for a supposedly greater good. No guardian to watch him and the owls were the closest to being his friends, but he had to earn their respect first. Before he trained to become the best but now he trained so that the next time he would find Tagas, he would kill him. "I don't know man..." he thought.

"Well five years is a long time. But it seems like we both made it out in good shape." he noted, answering his question with a more lighthearted response..

The two gave each other a firm handshake of friendship. Jet still couldn't believe that after all of this time he had reunited back with Terumi. A voice in his head had told him that it would be wise to perform his Scan ability, one of the techniques that was ingrained into his memory rather than him learning it the regular way. But Jet had a good feeling this was indeed Terumi; not a lot of imposters could recall events from half a decade ago between the two of them to prove who they were.

"Don't worry about it man.." he assured Adell with a friendly pat to his shoulder after explaining a bit on what happened that cut their celebration short. "I knew the risks before entering." The Jin had entered the exams without approval of his guardian Marasol, who had been responsible for his training most times. In addition he came up with half of the chakra that was advised. But the most gamble Jet had take was that even though he had access to the fire element he only had a limited set. Now those days had changed. The council member had so much up his sleeve, from having an entire army at his will, to diving into the molecular regions of matter.

It was safely assumed that Adell had new techniques as well. Becoming a Kage is no easy task and Jet was sure Adell earned it. Yet even with so much status his morals were the same as they were five years ago. He was trying to prove himself to be one of the greatest and to keep a period of peace for as long as he lived. The council member simply listened, nodding at the information he was hearing before the topic switched to him. "Tch..Where to start..." he wondered.

"I just recently took a position of the Hidden Federation Senate. They work like the higher ups in villages, but instead of one village, they watch over all of the Hidden Villages." Jet explained. "Which was why I'm here. Kind of showing my face for a bit, getting to know them and let them know I'm here to help before moving on to the next village." he said with a shrug.

Though as prestigious as it sounded, part of him was doing it for the reasons he mentioned. He mostly took the offer because of the information and power that he would have, in addition to his position with the owls. He would have position over two major sides; one of the benefits would be that he would be able to find Tagas easier.

"It's crazy isn't it?" he asked in amazement. When it came to goals, sometimes certain elements would get in the way that could either hinder or stop one's progress in obtaining that goal. As a result it would obviously make it more difficult for that goal to be obtained, or one would have to look back and see what is hindering their progress. But that didn't apply to Jet or Adell; the two not only having nothing standing in their way of becoming the best throughout all of these years but not losing focus. "When we met, we were just shinobi starting off at the Genin stages. Fast forward to now we're at the highest categories of the shinobi's, only being inches away from the highest echelon of warriors." It was just a bit a coincidence on the other hand however...

Adell's purpose was nearly identical to the Senate member. He would learn everything that this village had to offer and proceed to the next. In a way their minds worked like sentient beings, traveling from planet to planet, absorbing, gorging on the knowledge they had to offer before proceeding to the next. "I too, have been doing the same for the past few years." The Senate member told Terumi. Jet's training session here was no different and Termui assumed correct when he asked him about it.


"Yes that's also why I'm here. Around the time I'll be done my stay here will be at a good time and I'll move on to the next village."

Then the kage asked Jet a question that made him think for a bit. "Train together?" In the few times that they had to engage in battle they had fought alonside one another, from Eli to the techno virus invasion in Hidden Gears, along with fighting against each other in the exams. But they had never trained together as partners. "I don't believe we ever trained together. When the opportunity arose I was once again being taken under care..." His mouth was inched away from forming with the words '"with Marasol." to finish his sentence but he did not want to bring her up. It could risk sparking questions in Adell about her and her whereabouts.

Jet wanted to keep the focus on the reunification of an old friends, and by doing so... "But that was in the past, now I'm 100 percent and down to train man. What would you like to focus on?" he said with eagerness in his tone.

"I couldn't agree more." The Senate member replied. Jet knew a bit about paths, even some that he was still unaware of, such as the Path of Asura; a road leading to the ability to destroy entire cities with just a flick of a wrist, and power beyond any shinobi on this planet. And the only people who could help him were out of his life. But just like the exams, Jet knew of the consequences and risks. He also knew of the rewards as well for some of his choices. He just hoped that Adell didn't live a similar life. And even so there was still time to atone, for they weren't even in their peak yet, just starting off their own journey.

Jet didn't seem to be getting off the hook on explaining what he was up to during these last five years. But it didn't mean he had to tell Adell everything right? Everyone had secrets that would only be safe with the one who possessed it to begin with. He knew he wasn't going to hear every little detail Adell were to tell him, but it would be nice to know the majority of it. "Sounds good."

A brow raised in surprise when Adell wanted to start off their training with some close quarters combat. Out of the styles offered, Jet excelled in Taijutsu the most. As a jin his body was the pinnacle of martial arts. But maybe Adell had learned some moves that pushed his taijutsu to the edge of his limits. Maybe the Kage had underwent specific training all of these years to push each category of combat. Perhaps he would fine out, or perhaps not.

Jet's casual clothes(as seen on pic) was good enough for this friendly training session, but Adell chose the option of removing his prestige clothing that was the Kage gear. Underneath were robes Jet assumed were comfortable and durable for combat with colors that were similar to his signature gear and gauntlets. "Nice colors." Jet noted before he shifted to a linear approach into a Jeet Kune Do stance. As hard as his skin was he was feeling goosebumps all over him. This would be the Jin's first time taking on a Kage"This should be fun. Ready when you are." It was time to see through some action if Terumi deserved to wear those Robes and what a Kage was capable of.

Terumi had intitated their sparring session nearly right off of the bat. Immediately Jet's senses would have kicked in and he would have made an attempt to cripple the target in little time if this was a real battle and this was not Terumi. But he would refuse to listen to his unique sense and proceed forward with the battle. At least, for now anyway. As for his unknown genetic "Asura Dotonjutsu"( Everyone who is born as a jin is introduced to martial arts. As soon as Jet was able to walk and talk at 3 he was trained in martial arts from his parents (as mentioned in bio). With constant conditioning to the body externally and internally through such methods as punching walls, kicking trees, being hit with boards, etc the body becomes a human weapon at a young age. The jin are born with a much more durable skeleton and better physical performance than the average being. The way this happens is that the bones become continuously calcified with the calcium in the body as they age. Only a small percentage of bodies undergo changes in the skin, where the dermal layers become thick along muscular system, where the muscles and organs develop thicker layers of smooth muscle as well. At the same time those who show all 3 of these usually become Asura. At 13 Jet’s body should have been finished developing these traits. However Jet’s body had just recently begun to show traits of this hereditary feature, that falls in the category of the small percentage who’s integumentary system(hair,skin, nails), skeletal, and muscular system are amplified. At the present chuunin level, these body systems become as hard as iron, while at jounin it becomes steel, then mythril at 100k. At the kage level only unique weapons can seriously harm Jet Kazama. It should be noted that with such a feature, even Jin feel pain. Drawbacks to this hereditary feature is that it that some ninjutsu attacks can still deal their normal damage and even bypass this feature such as Raiton attacks, and that he can still draw blood and feel pain as well if hit hard enough.) trait that made his body hard to the point where almost weapons in the unique category had a chance of inflicting harm, Jet couldn't control that. Ergo he had to remind himself that even a simple strike could inflict serious unintentional harm.

Before the Palm strike would connect to Jet's pectorals, The Senate member lightly pushed Adell's forearm to the side in a redirection attempt, while spinning at the same time 180 degrees to the right; having an open arm out with a clenched hand, preparing to go for a spinning back fist towards the exposed right shoulder of Adell. The motion was fluid and crisp but the strike itself was pulled back at the last second, lacked 60 percent power and zero chakra. That made the spinning back fist just a normal melee maneuver. Jet had a hunch that depending on how long they were willing to go and what measures they were willing to take, the force of Chakra would play a role sooner or later.

"library.. library...li...Oh found it."

Sally bobs her head back and forward. She spins the bag in her hand and small seeds starts to drop into the ground. She placed her hand on the ground and she licked her lips a bit. She gave a slight smile and her heart started to flutter as she saw the giant library. Her eyes started to glow red and her mouth watered as she walked inside.

Sally pulled the hood off her head and she placed her hands on the front desk.

"hello..my name..well that doesn't matter. I need your history section. All of it please."

Sally pushed her glasses up on her face and gave a shy smile to the librarian. The librarian shrugged his shoulders and took her to the back of the library. The librarian pulled books off the shelf and placed them all infront of Sally. Sally nooded as she waited for him to go away. Sally pulled out her Grimoire and dark blue book that had a faint taste of old demon and smell of rain. She opened her book first and started to talk in an ancient tongue.

*translated*

"Speed Memory. speed Reading."

Sally started to fly through each one of the history books. As the stack of unread books turned into complete books. Sally put her finger on her chin and she could only smile.

"cha..kra? How strange that it brought all these things here... Angels and demons...gods?All dead now huh? Interesting. We could use this place as our home. The Mana seeds should be quite beautiful here.. I think this world will be quite good for us.. however, I need to understand this cha..kra?"

Sally licked her lips as she thought of the librarian. She walked towards the front desk as she pulled down her top. She leaned over the front desk and looked at him in the eyes as she grabbed him by the neck. she placed her chest closer to his eyes and smiled at the Librarian. sally ran her fingers on his neck and smiled.

"hey I need some help back by the books."

Sally giggled. She took off her cloak and placed it on his desk as sh slowly sauntered back to the table where she was located. She cleared off the the tables and layed waiting for him to approach.

The librarian oozing with desire approached Sally and saw her on the table. She had just her bra on and no cloak. Her thighs sweating. Her eyes lusting for sin. He leaned in to kiss her.

"oh you silly boy. I want so much more than your kiss."

Sally wrapped her legs around his neck. She squeezed her thighs around his neck until he couldn't breathe. She moaned with pleasure as she could feel the life slip from his mouth. She stopped right before he died. Sally eyes turned from a bright red to their normal black as she put on her shirt and looked around. Nobody heard. She slipped her shirt back on and was beet red from being almost naked. She pat her little librarian on the head as she pulled out her grimoire again.

*translated*

"Liquid Expel."

Sally said as the Librarian started to glow a dark blue and as he did all the water came flowing out of his body. The liquid started to swirl around in a circle as she stared at it. Her eyes examined the water and she didn't see the chakra.

"chakra.. I can't see it with the naked eye. Pity. Hmm Maybe I can extract it. Essence containment."

Sally said as she kept all that was the former librarian in set of tubes.

She then sighed as she pushed the sack skin of the desk and continued on with her mission.
