Seshiro kept eating the food nop matter how horrid it looked , tasted or smelled. He was hungry and he needed the food to survive. His mind wasnt working that well anymore, his thoughts were moving, jumping switching from image to image without focus as his eyes looked around without actually seeing anything.
He looked even more pale than ever before sitting where he was in that darkness. The empty bowl of food fell to the floor as he finished and was touched by hand on his shoulder. He turned his head to look and he simply saw a reflection of himself looking at him. The reflection smiled before speaking
" Can we now Focus on the task at hand?"

Day 4 late morning:
Seshiro hadnt sleep all night... his other him hda been walking around where he was sitting, keeping its eyes all the time on him. At first Seshiro thought somebody was using some kind of clone technique or something but the guards had walked by and checked on him a few times in their rounds and none had given a signal or anything that they had seen this other Seshiro in the room...
"Allright... who are you?"
The other Seshiro had some differences in appearance though, His body was covered by a tattoo of a snake that ran from his right lip,up over his ear and swirl around his neck the run down his back and curl around his right arm whirling down to is hand where the tail stopped.
" I am you as you can see...yet actually the other you, the one you could be...or should be as I preffer to think if i say so myself."
"What the hell are you talking about? how come nobody can see you"
"Well my friend, either you have some sort of spiritual guidance from your inner self, or your just going crazy and seeing stuff...chose your poison.. either way your stuck with me"
The other Seshiro looked at Seshiro and gave him a smirk. He walked closer to him and Seshiro crawled back away from him from where he was sitting.
"Dont be scared Shiro.... call me Id..now then forget about me and look at this thing... what can you remember of this you useless scum?"
Seshiro was shocked as Id pointed at the big Fuin seal. He had somehow spoken with Id before but never had it shown or manifested himself in what seemed to be a vision. He truly was going mad now as he was simply talking to himself to any onlooker, His eyes focused on the emptyness, the black patches under his eyes ecause of the need of rest...the appearance of a madman...

Seshiro tried to ignore the image of his inner being walking around him. but it was too hard... It seemed to be smiling in a mischievous kind of way as he looked to the fuin and back at Seshiro. Putting aside all that he focused on each design barely recognizing them from someplace in his past.
" Could you stop creeping around and help me?"
Seshiro spoke to his unseen conscienceness hoping to get a reply but Id simply seem to walk behind Seshiro. As Seshiro closed his eyes and sighed Id whispered in his ear
" Youve only seen fuin in 3 places ever in your life, that might stir up something"
Seshiro Jumped as he felt Ids pressence so close to himself... but whoever Id was, he was right, Seshiro had only been in contact with Fuins 3 times ever so if this seemed familiar he just had to think in wich of those places or moments he could have seen it...

The day was advancing and already the heat of the coast was gathering inside the cell. The lonely high up window in the room let the Bright sun in but only enough to heat up those four walls. Seshiro was starting to sweat as he stood now close to the walls touching them and looking closely at each symbol. Id seemed to be leaning in a corner of the room and as Seshiro looked to the opposite corner he was there too, as if he had teleported magically.
Id wasnt talking apparently Seshiro ignoring him did have some effect in making that raspy voice go away.Yet Seshiro's mind was set into his movements wich seemed to be none, he still couldnt take the idea that not only was this other personality in him or whatever talking to him... but he also could see his body.
Seshiro looked back at the wall trying to make its mind go back to figuring the fuin but all the heat and humidy in the air was making the stone release fumes of the old sweat of the years dropped in this place, preventing any critical thinking

The smell was overwhelming. It seemed as if lost of dead animals where storaged somewhere in this giant rock jail. There was this sense of animal sweat instead of normal human sweat. Seshiros vision was going blurry do to the fumes and the heat and the stones where starting to get hot. His bare feet and hands burned a bit as he tried to looke for somewhere tro stand where the sun wouldnt hit the floor, where it stood nice and cold.
Taken from what was going on in the room Seshiro could guess that the wall that was getting super heated was the only obstacle between him and liberty, it had a direct contact with the sun... but that probably meant it was placed directly at the cliff of the rock formation where the Giant Jail was carved into.... not that it mattered anyway for he couldnt break through the wall...

Finding himself a corner not hot nor cold in the cell he dropped down with legs crossed once again. Seshiro was running out of positions to stand and sit around in the cell and it was merely a day he had been here. Yet, he couldnt do anything till he deciphered the seal that wa s keeping him from using his chakra.
Perhaps that was the explanation to this shadowy figure called Id, Since he was lonely and bored , he was seeing his other self as a way to stay sane... or something close to it.. Seshiro told himself as he looked at the corner where it was standing
" Whats with that look? what are you thinking ....snake boy?"
Seshiro took a puzzeled stare and talked to this other imaginary him...
"Shouldnt you know? I mean .... your inside my head right? you should know what im thinking"
" Perhaps..... then again, amuse me will ya?"
"Well im just talking with you to not go crazy of lonelyness right? your just part of my imagination"
" Maybe the body you see is.... but the me your talking to is very real Snake boy...deep inside you, i am the real you...whether you accept it or not... believe what you want to believe
On the other hand.... if your talking to yourself... isnt that a sign of madness? guess this sint helping you at all to stay sane is it?"
Then Id began to laugh in a very low voice almost like a whisper, a hissing of a snake that simply annoyed Seshiro even more

" Your not helping!!!!! All you do is make me more confused talk aout nonsense and make me feel even more crazy than beforeee. You said ahh look to the moments youve seen fuin but guess what!!! its not helpiing.. if your gonna be around do something will youu?"
Seshiro had lost it. His eyes seemed lost in the horizon as if he wherent looking into blank walls but a great deep scenario. He shouted the words as if arguing with this Id character but Id didnt answer back. Instead he simply kept laughing in that weird hissing way that only made Seshiro even more mad.
Seshiro clenched his teeth and was about to go straight at Id as if he could hurt him when the little window at the top of the door opened up revealing what seemed to be a Samurai Helmet mask and some eyes looking around the cell.
" Will you keep it down? WHo the hell are you talking to?"
SEshiro turned his head towards where Id had been and he was now Gone... so he turned fast around making his dreadlocks swing violently as he looked at the guard once more...
" Uhhh i... um... sorry"
his eyes went lost again wandering he could see the guard but his eyes where merely glipsing reality and focused elsewhere. Nothing seemed to make sense and the more tjings happened the less likely it seemed he would figure out the Fuin at all. pone thing was good though. ID seemed to be gone...for now

Seshiro was getting frustrated already. He was willing to give up and simply die here just laid in a corner,like one of the many rocks of the walls yet something in him did not like the idea of dying like that. If he was going to die he wanted it to be in action...
What action could he get looking at the pretty desings in the four wall, dumbstruck as if looking at himself in the mirror, not to mention the other him...Id who creep around every once in a while grining at him...wait ...perhaps that was it... the whole fuin design was a drawing of a human body across the walls and ceiling... he just had to figure wich part was where and that way he could more easily break it.. or atleast find a way through

Seshiro stood right at the center of the room and looked upwards just to see what could be representing the chakra points on his head so there it was. He found his first position to be. Now he needed to find which way to be facing. It wasnt easy for he had never memorized the different Kanjis and seals of fuin and most of them where ancient writing not commonly used every day.
He could make up small pieces but none represented a body part or anything that looked like it could help.No point of refference. He was starting to miss That freaky fuin woman... what was her name again?.... hmm for some reason He couldnt remember....looking at Id sitting in a corner Seshiro could only see remembere from the explosion till here it seemed as if it had only been Id and him... as if all the other things where a dream... no .. he couldnt,he couldnt come to forget all those people, Yuki, Aya, Maya, Suko,Ichi,Shinichi and all the others in the village.. he had to focuse, get out of here if only to atleast know if they are ok before moving on
so his eyes opened and he looked again at the walls... hecould do this...

Seshiro kept Looking upwards towards the ceiling as if waiting for something. His eyes darted back and foward from one spot to another with out stopping more than two seconds. Suddenlly his look went to the front he was looking around like crazy.He went from a wall to another , the floor the side , the door , the window, teh ceiling and so all around randomly trying to grasp something atleast by mistake if not intentional but nothing came up.
He was going mad he was angry and desperate and weak, he hadnt sleep trying to figure this out and now he was reaching his limit. Slowly as his eyes moved faster Id could be heard laughing in the back, his laughter echoing in the walls of the cell making its hiss rise high and ring in his ears. Seshiros eyes became distant, kind of caved in with black spots under them and the yellow of the eyes seem to turn kind of reddish.
Seshiros hair was waving and banging all around as he moved his head fast almost at the same rhythm of Id's laughter. His breathing sped up also , his chest moves so fast it seemed his lungs would burst out really soon
" Just let me take over... just let me take over"
that was all he heard as the laughter hiss continued echoing...then there was nothing. Seshiro was loosing himself in all this and he blacked out.The last thing his eyes saw was the stones of the floor coming fast towards him... yet just before that he though he had found something else...

Seshiro woke up face first in the floor just as he had seen himself go down... but there was something different. A light was coming from somewhere. he opened his eyes and he could see a bit more brightly than he did before and it was then he noticed...the door was open. every muscle in him tensed thinking about charging out fast with no other thought that getting out of here but then a voice in his ear...or rather his head spoke to him
"this is no coincidence...dont you dare"
and as Seshiro looked closer he saw it. A man in a chair right beside him. It was the one with the weird Golden Shogun armor yet he wasnt carrying his swords.Near him on the floor was another shogun guard it seemed it was knocked out of breath.
"Tell me your name snake...and why are you so important that an undercover man was sent for you?"
Seshiros eyes wen wide open as he looked at the face of the man. It wasnt anyone from Shima or the orochi, so who could be after him.
"I have no idea sir... what happened?"
The Rising sun stood up from his chair and grabbed Seshiro by the prisoner robes he was wearing and pulled him closed to the face of his shogun mask.
" I dont know whether your lying or not kid, and i aint intended on finding out. someone broke into the prison, put you to sleep and got into the cell, whether to kill you or help you escape i dont know...but it wont happen again. Dont do anything foolish... you and I will have a serious talk later on. Youl talk eventualy."
With a small hand movement the man threw Seshiro back to the floor. Seshiro couldnt do much with his hands shackled so closely together so he fell sideways on the stone. Who could have done this and why? it seemed he kept being mistaken by someone else or he was in trouble
THe man went out and signaled two men who took the intruder out. as they where pulling the body the unconscience man dropped a small scroll wich the guards didnt notice so Seshiro waited till the guards where oout of hearing rtange and went for the scroll.
The scroll was really small and held only a few words
Quote: I know who you are...or rather what you are.I have something that might interest you.Ill contact you -Oni
somebody knew about him? about the Orochi? what could they have that would be of interust to him? with all these things happening how could Seshiro focus at all in the fuin? He had even forgotten about it. H e knew only one thing... they didnt want to kill him apparently but that was it.Deciphering the fuin seal DC:20 1d20+Fuiin[5] 2/3

Seshiro's eyes couldnt stop staring at the small window in the far high part of one of the walls, the only source of light in the room and which didnt actually light up much anyways. He droppes the small scroll while he found a way to tuck it in his clothe to keep it hidden.
For the first time ever Seshiro actually looked at the room more closely other than at the fuin on the walls. The room wasnt that large except for the distance between the floor and the ceiling. There was only one window real high up where no matter at waht angle the light didnt actually light up the room much.There was no actual place to sleep except the stone floor. The floor seemed to be made of small round stones placed beside each other.
There was a bucket in the farthest corner from the door... that just know Seshiro start thinking what it was for....yes.. he'd had to do it there...
As he was on the floor looking at the room a few of the stones in the floor began to move upwards as if something was coming out of the ground.
"what the hell"
The stones went up and fell to the sides as a human sized hulk of something came out of the hole. And at a closer look it was clear that it actually WAS a human being. Seshiro was paralyzed as an old man pulled himself off the whole and came to his cell.

getting himself completely out of the hole, the man looked around at the empty cell as if he was as confused as Seshiro about the situation. The old man was tall and slender, about 70 something years of age.He had a bald head for the exception of the back of his head from ear to ear where his white dirty hair was tied in a small ponytail with a piece of rag. He looked completely dirty, all covered in dust and dirt. His prisoner clothes where all raggend and ripped here and there and as dirty as his hair. He had a moustache but real thin and long at the sides falling down to his chin and a small goatie.
" hmm... must have missed the corridor somewhere"
where his first words. He turned and spotted Seshiro still perplexed at his appearance. Seshiro couldnt help but to move his eyes from the man to the small hole he had arrived through
" Who the hell are you and where frack did you come from?"
The man smiled and walked funny with his thin body towards Seshiro
" My name is Iago im pleased to meet you. Im sorry i invaded your cell"
Seshiro snapped out of his emotion shock and stood up while still keeping his eyes on Iago. He cleared some dust from himself and prepared to talk or act.
"Yeah but i mean how did you end up here?"
"To make the long story short... i digged. I wanted to get out the corridor but I ended up in your cell. Im very sorry. I can guess your a shinobi huh?"
"How did you know.?"
"Well i saw the shackles you have on and the great fuin on each wall."
Seshiro shoock his head and walked towards the old man.
"What do you know about Shinobi?"
Seshiro talked as he grew near towards the man till he was standing in front of him. He kept his eye as open as possible all the time

The old man smiled at the youngster's question and signaled for him to sit on the floor. Seshiro looked back and forward from the floor to the face of Iago like asking himself what to do.Then again he was in jail and there wa not many options except litsen top the old man who seemed to know shinobi info or call the guards and if he opted for the second one hed be really bored.
He sat doan and signaled the old man to do the same. Iago looked over towards the door and then inspected the small window at the top before actually sitting. When he finally got down on the floor he rubbed his knees before talking.
" Very well lets start by why am i here right? I digged myself from my cell to yours hoping to get to the corridor between our cells."
Seshiro was expecting such, the old man must have been escaping
"So your breaking out?"
"Oh no quite the opposite"
Seshiros face went all confused at the words of the old man...
" I was just trying to scare the guards.Its impossble to actually escape without explosives. all walls are solid stone and even beneath the dirt of the floor there is hard rock farther down. Besides im much too old to want to escape anyways....you might be wondering why am i here right?
Seshiro nodded to the old man and in that moment Id popped beside seshiro and stood beside him. Seshiros heart began to beat nervously as he was almost scared to death by Id. Yet the old man seem to not notice this copy of Seshiro at all...that meant that he was really going crazy.
" Well... the reason im here is because of Shinobis. I was an old sensei in the rice country and with the whole incident of a shinobi war and the drug dealer problems, they didnt want anyone else to learn to be a shinobi. logically i was locked up and so here i am."
Iago smiled at Seshiro like a grandfather does to a granson after tellin one of its old stories.
" Let me get this straight.. you wherent trying to escape? you just wanted to make it look like you where escaping to scare the guards? Thats just crazy!"
THe old man laughed but in a silent manner trying to prevent the guards from knowing he was in another cell. He then looked at Seshiro and took a deep breath before talking
" If you where as old as me and as bored as me in this prison youd understand. Then again i guess i now have you to talk to right jijiiii"
Seshiro thought about what the old man said. It must be pretty lonely in there, he had only been a day and it was already depressing the old man must have it harder then.
" Wait you said you where a Shinobi sensei right? cant you help me? i need to undo that, it seems to be preventing me from controlling my chakra"
" well i could help you out. But what would you do once is gone? Those shackles prevent you from using handseals dont they?"
Seshiro stood with his mouth open fast to say something but nothing came out. He was right... without his handseals he couldnt do anything to escape.Seshiros face went down to that depressed self he was being a while ago and Id laughed in his ear
" Dont fret boy, ill help you, there is another way. Come. we still have a few hours before the guards take the rounds for food. We have time ..."
And the old man went for the hole apparently expecting Seshiro to follow

Seshiro stood dumbstruck for a second and then hurried up towards the hole.He examined it well before dropping to the ground and slowly dragging himself into it. He had his hands shackled so it was pretty hard for him to simply pull himself in the narrow tunnel but he did as best as he could to hurry for he felt a bit claustrophobic in this position.After a little while he could see the hole in the top where he was supposed to go out and as soon as he got near it the Old man Iago pulled him out
" I Figured youd need help getting out and all"
Seshiro absorbed the light in the room at first, it wasnt much but after being in the tunnel he was appreciating the ligthin in his room.The old man's room was bigger it had somewhat a hole carved in the wall that served as a bed and another one that worked as a shelf. There was a blanket, a table, a chair, the Usual Bucket and in the shelf there where tons of old scrolls and books.
"How..."
"Lets say it pays out to be a Senior citizen, my old age accounts for my weakness and inability to be a threat right? so they dont mind leaving me some of my possesions to keep me entertained "
The old man smiled at Seshiro who found it was both dumb of the guards and perhaps smart of the man to act senile for the guards.Iago went for the shelf and retrieved an old book about acupuncture and an old scroll wich seem to be about Chakra.
" Well then... shall we begin?"
"Wait" Seshiro spoke a bit concerned " arent you gonna ask me why do i want to learn? why did i needed to break the seal?"
The old man sat in his chair and dropped both the scroll and the book in the table, took a deep breath and smiled again towards Seshiro
"Im old. You are young, i do not know whether youll do good with what you will learn or if youll do evil.. but you are far too young to have decided that yourself, your still learning to live so my work is only to give you the means to live your life now then shall we?"
Seshiro couldnt help but smile at the old man. His way of thinking captivated Seshiro and filled him with energy cause it was all true.He needed to find his path, and he was willing to do it.On the other Hand Id didnt seem to enjoy it. He laughed sarcasticalle in Seshiro's ear making fun of both the old man and him for being so foolish. This only enfuriated Seshiro
