 Shuniji looked on in interest as the "acid" melted into the floor in the shape of the number eight. He absently pondered the point of burning it into the floor, but then figured worse had probably been smeared across this concrete death-stage.
Besides, that wasn't what was important at the moment. What was important was "eight".
'Eight immortals?' he thought to himself, 'It's only been thirty years and they already want a redo..?'
"Oh," Shuniji started suddenly. He just realized what this secret group was about.
"They're going to tear this world apart from the inside-out until these 'immortals' can be summoned. Unaffiliated, unpredictable," Shuniji sucked in a hestiant breath, "a true 'Wild Card'... This is bad."
Of course, this was all conjecture on Shuniji's part, but he knew well enough to know an underground organization of ninja could only entail pain and massive destruction of property. It was like that in the old days of Sound, it was like that with the infamous Akatsuki, it was like that in the War of Snow; if there was one thing the ninja world never did, it was change.
It was then Shuniji noticed the tiny drops of blood near the symbol burnt into the ground--they were from Seika's mouth. She appeared to be on the verge of tears too. Huh. She hadn't so much as whimpered when she'd gotten sliced, which caused this little number to gain Shuniji's attention.
He was kind enough to not blatantly point it out. Seika would owe him later. Instead he tried to redirect her attention with a question.
"Oi, Seika. Since we're all about sharing today, why don't you give us your thoughts on the issue."
An act of politeness would cause her to let her guard down, if only slightly. Not to mention teamwork seemed like the only option at the moment.

Seika had been listening to a little bit more then half of what he said. But she was still fully responsive to her name. Seika perked her head up and shot a glance at shun, giving him one of those clueless looks. She had been spacing out. ''My thoughts?'' she whispered to herself before finally catching up with the question. ''If i was to guess, It has something to do with the tailed beasts.'' she replied with her normal blank stare.
Which made her think if it really was a good idea to inform the Otokage about something like this. Especially with sounds history. 'Wait a sec. . .' She thought to herself. 'I see what he did. . .He pegged us against each-other on purpose. He knew. . if one of us had the better judgment and decided not to tell him, the other being shun, snake lover. . would probably spill the beans out of pure competition. So he'd win. But in reality he was just making sure he GOT his information.' But those were the thoughts of a recreant. . Who knows, maybe she was thinking too hard about this. She had to stop thinking about it. Seika continued on with her conversation. ''if they were to collect the tailed beasts and somehow use it as a mass weapon of destruction. It would be catastrophic.'' She turned her gaze to the sickly gentlemen in-front of them. ''I mean you said it yourself, The eight immortals only come in times of great distress. What if they were to use that weapon as a lure?''
Seika retreated a few steps back and straightened her posture. ''With a weapon like that, I wouldn't be surprised if the eight immortals were lured by it.'' The girl cuffed her hand over her mouth and cleared her throat, cuing that she was finished. She hoped they caught on to what she said.

Shuniji gave Seika an incredulous, yet patronizing stare.
"It's only going to be the tailed beasts if it's the best-case scenario," Shuniji stated. He felt it was safe to assume now that the Otokage was interested that Wairudokaado was not composed of an old, homeless man with a cardboard sign.
"At least with the tailed beasts, we know what we're dealing with and where. Besides, I don't recall that working out so well for the Akatsuki," he pointed out as an extra jab at Seika's intelligence.
Shuniji glared back down at the symbol in the floor. He didn't really know where this was going either. "Nowhere good" was rather vague.
"Whatever this is, it's not based in or around Sound. While I'm sure these 'crusaders of peace and prosperity' don't exactly have us on their happy lists, but I don't see them being desperate or stupid enough to involve us in their schemes directly."
Shuniji sighed in frustration and leaned over on his knees.
"So in other words, where to next?"

"Cloud... I... was... on...mission...in... the Cloud... Village..." Came the choked reply from the stark, gaunt figure before them. However his condition seemed to prove a little to much for him and with that he made a slight nod to them out of courtesy. Turning his back on them rather slowly and purposefully- he DARED them to find the courage to attack his unprotected flank while he still potentially held some information they didn't know. After-all, what he told them was important- but not nearly as important as what he might not have told them...
The crowd found it to be in good taste to give the ninja a fair girth as he slowly made his exit. His pace was not labored, merely slow- as if he KNEW the fear of him the pervaded the room after his earlier display.

Mosτ εvεяγoиε's mαd нεяε. . .╔══════════♪♫♪♫══════════╗ Seika simply ignored shun at this point. He asks for her opinion and totally drags it down, That's shun for you. She kept her attention on the man. So. . .Cloud village, eh? Well it didn't surprise her, But this was her cue to start looking there. Seika watched the man as he was leaving. Attacking him would be bad on her part. Even if she was the backstabbing type. She let out a deep sigh, Releasing a small amount of her stress. ''Well, Nekoneko! Let's go.'' She ordered and began to make her way out. The Cat let out a small mew and followed closly behind her. Seika was walking slower than usual, Waiting till the man fully left the room. Her head was still filled with questions that once again, remained unanswered. . .and what of Kai? She couldn't sense her link with him anymore. Was he dead? She thought about the voice she heard. . .It sounded like the Otokage. In that case he probably WAS dead. Seika once again excused her thoughts for now, suppressing them for a better time. ╚══════════♫♪♫♪══════════╝

Shuniji followed the sickly ninja with a contemplating gaze as he left the room. He then turned his attention back towards Seika.
"You really shouldn't keep things bottled up like that. It's unhealthy. And kind of annoying," he said as though his opinion were either needed or wanted.
"Anyway," he continued, not wanting to dwell on thoughts of other people, "I guess we're headed north. We'll need the appropriate paperwork if we want anywhere near the Cloud Village's border. At least the whole 'alliance' thing makes this step easier. I hate waiting on this clerical s**t..." Shuniji grumbled in frustration. While it was easier, that didn't necessarily make it easy; at least, not without someone with a higher rank putting a rush order on it.
He gave Seika a sharp look.
"I take it since we both have almost the same amount of information, we'll be heading out together, won't we?" He sighed melodramatically, "May as well apply for our travel papers together..."

Seika paused for a moment. She didn't turn around, Just kind of stood there. Shun was right about the bottled up things, But even so it would do her no good to tell him information like that. Plus he could use it against her later. Shun was notorious for being a dirty player. Seika turned around and gave shun a eerily bright smile. ''Alright! Let's work together for now, Okay?'' At the moment. . .it was in her best interest to work with him, Then it dawned on her. ''Uh. . .i never traveled out of sound before. . So Ive got no clue where the papers for that is. . . .and um, I don't want to go back to the Otokage's place right now.'' Her last statement seemed to be muffled out. Seika seemed to be reverted back to her childish attitude. This was what she was like when she was ''off duty'' and not picking on some poor guy for mission points.

"...Right..." Shuniji paled at the thought of going through the ordeal to get to the Otokage's office again. That man did not like being disturbed.
"I've only ever been out of Sound with my sensei back when I was your age, and twice after I became a chunin, but those times the groups were large enough, all of the paperwork had been done prior to setting out," Shuniji explained off-handedly. He didn't enjoy reminiscing about his short-lived time as a chunin, but he also didn't want to admit to not knowing where the passports got confirmed either.
"...I'll just meet you at the border, alright? We can just get everything straightened out there. Probably."
With that, Shuniji turned back towards the arena's entrance and gave a short wave as he walked. He paused for a second.
"Just so you know, we aren't a team. This isn't a truce. We're just using each other, got it?"
And he kept walking.

Seika made a loud grunt as she approached the training area. She also had a toothbrush in hand. The whole way here she brushed her teeth, repeatedly. That whole snake ordeal left herself feeling extremely awkward. The least she could do was sanitize her mouth after that. once, twice, three times...maybe six times today. It wouldn't hurt to do it a seventh time...Okay, maybe Seika was over reacting, but still! Thinking about the situation made her stomach turn. 'Eww.' Not to mention she spotted Shun in the area as well. 'Double eww!' From the looks of it he was training. So Seika wasn't going to pay any mind to Otokage's number one fan. Speaking of. She'd have to watch what she says about the Otokage now. He's watching...and listening. Seika shivered at the thought. She let out a heavy sigh and leaned against the railing. 'I'm going to have to train if i wanna stand a chance at the Chunin exams.' Seika thought and mentally kicked herself for not having a training plan. Maybe she'd ask her brother to teach her something.

After getting a nice heart seal refresh from the Otokage. Kaichou wondered off to the training grounds to look for Shun. He figured he'd be here anyway. It's not like there was anything else to do here. Then again...this was a village that thrived with people who were striving for more power. It's a dog eat dog world here. Kai hated dogs...he hated mother ******** cat's more. Especially Seika's. Speaking of his sister. He spotted her hanging around on the second floors railing. Might as well go stalk her and try to figure out what her damage was. Though oddly enough Seika looked completely unscathed. Well, almost...Her shoulder looked pretty banged up. Though he was expecting more. Had she wormed her way out of another problem? Kaichou cracked his stiff neck and made his way over to her. This could be a good time to utilize some medical jutsu and completely rub his talents in her face, but first he'd have to figure out how to use a skill such as Mystical palm. Seika would be a good training subject. If he could just get her to cooperate with him. Kai stood beside Seika and grabbed at her hand.
(Seika, would you mind helping me with something? I promise it will be most beneficial to you.)
Kaichou held her hand with his own and prodded at her cheek with the other. That probably wasn't going to help with his answer, but at least he got to annoy her at the same time.

Seika pursed her lip when Kaichou grabbed her hand. But didn't even bother looking at him. She tried her best to pretend he didn't exist. She really did. That was until he began poking at her cheek. ''HEY, Cut that out you nimrod!'' she barked and snapped her head around, taking a small bite at his finger. ''.....'' Then stuck the tooth brush back in her mouth and began re-brushing her teeth. Who knows where his fingers have been! ''Look i don't care what you want...just as long as you teach me one of your jutsu in return. Got it?'' She mumbled and spat the toothpaste out in Shun's general direction. It was like a damn squirt gun! Fast and accurate, but it lost momentum just before it got to Shun. Aw...too bad. Seika then turned to Kai and smirked. She already knew what he was going to ask. His thoughts weren't hard to read at all. ''Look, go ahead and do your thing, just don't make the wound worse, got it?'' Seika warned him and took a seat on the floor, crossing her legs Indian style.

Kaichou groaned and quickly retreated his finger. 'Ouch..that hurt.' He inspected his finger and glared up at her. It wasn't damaged. It just startled him. After a few moments of listening to her babble. Kai nodded in agreement to Seika's request. He then knelt down and inspected her shoulder. It didn't look too bad...Indeed this was a perfect practice wound. Kaichou prodded at her cut for a while just to irritate it. There! Now this was something he could work with. He nodded in approval and rubbed his hands together. 'Alright let's do this.' He encouraged himself and made a couple quick hand sign's. This was a bit difficult to do because of his rather stiff movements, but he'd manage to work around it. Kai placed both his hands just over her shoulder.
There was a faint green glow in his hands, but it was barley visible. It didn't really bother Kaichou that much. He knew it wouldn't be simple to attempt this jutsu. Sure he was the Medical type; Which you'd never guess because of his creepy looks and unorthodox and unrelated Jutsu he could use. Kai was what they called...an offensive Medical jutsu user. So it would be nice to have something that could actually help, but that wasn't happening anytime soon. The green chakra began to flicker like a dying light bulb. And sure enough. The chakra vanished from his hands all together. 'For Christ sake..' Seika's wound was still there with all of it's irritated and cut up glory. This was harder than it looked. He let out an angry groan and made another batch of hand sign's. Round two...
This time his hands were very close to Seika's skin, they almost touched her. His hands lit up once more, but it was still very faint. 'Dammit.' Kai wasn't very good at anything. Especially when it came to saving peoples lives. It was just something he could never do. He was only good at disarming an opponent. Could he really take a life? Much less save one? The green glow on Kaichou's hands flickered even more. It was extremely dim. Seika's wound still remained the same. Maybe he wasn't doing something right. Kai tried his best to keep the chakra in his hands going, but it just wasn't happening for him. This was stupid. He was a medic nin for Christ sake. What have they taught him that he didn't know? Well...that wasn't an accurate thing to say. Kai was sort of a slacker. So it made sense that he'd fail at something as simple as this.
It was a good thing Kaichou was so persistent or he'd probably bash his face against the wall out of frustration. Hell, he wasn't even tired! It was definitely clear. Kaichou Cheshiru wasn't doing something right. As usual. 'Let's see...you got your standard hand signs. Then you have tha application of the-' It finally dawned on him. If his mouth wasn't sewed he would have screamed out of aggravation of his dumbfounded nature. So he just settled with a nice hard facepalm. It was so simple too. Kaichou wasn't focusing his chakra all in one place. That would explain the failed attempts he made at the Mystical palm Jutsu. Well no more! Kaichou Cheshiru was going to pull this off and nothing would stop him! With a confident look in his eye, he cupped his hands over Seika's shoulder once more. ...... Oh ,Wait a sec, nothing was happening, but why? He finally got a clue and it fails? 'That's some bull s**t right there!' Kai groaned to himself. Oh wait...he forgot the hand signs. Riiggghht. You kind of need those to perform jutsu. Dumbass.
Kai groaned once more then continued, making the now all too familiar hand sign's. This was going to suck a**. He both his hands on Seika's shoulder once more. Only this time they took on a nice green glow. It wasn't too shabby, but it was still sort of weak. He cocked his head to the side and checked on her healing progression. Sadly nothing had changed at all. Kaichou's gaze hardened as he applied even more of his Chakra to his hands. Why was he even doing this? Given the circumstances...would it really help? It's not like him Seika and Shun were in a team or anything. It would probably only be used on himself....so it was a personal benefit? Well, the Otokage DID say he should be taking care of himself because of whatever....it was that he was harboring inside himself. That's right...it was for himself. Then again, Seika seemed to get hurt a lot. How the hell does she manage that? Kaichou shook his head and shrugged it off. The nice green glow of chakra dimmed quite a bit. His concentration was breaking. Kai needed to stay focused if he wanted to master this jutsu.
A few moments passed and he hadn't gotten any further with the jutsu. This sucked. Maybe he was starting on something a bit too hard. If he could just grasp the concept of the whole thing and maybe figure out how- Wait a sec. He could start with a bruise! Those should be easier than an open flesh wound. Why didn't he think of this earlier? Maybe because he was busy freaking out over nothing happening after what seemed like hours of training. Kaichou cocked his head to the side and lifted his hard from Seika's shoulder. It just might be a good time to try that whole bruise idea. If Kaichou could just at least heal a small wound like that. it would boost his confidence, With a swift movement of his curled fist. Kai landed a hard punch to Seika's arm and her side...then her face. Oh dear was he having fun? The stitches on his face seemed to stretch as he threw a few punches at Seika. Yes...he was a happy camper.
When Kai was done, he waited a few moments until the bruises surfaced into light purple splotches. He was ready to try this once more. He started by making hand sign's, then setting his hands lightly on Seika's now gorgeously bruised arm. Only this time he was focusing everything he had on this jutsu. Kai was persistent. The glowing chakra flickered a bit as he concentrated. Perhaps he was trying to hard. No! This was necessary. In Kai's prerogative there was no such thing as trying too hard. It was better to have tried, then to have not done it at all. After a few moments Kai paused and checked on the bruise. It was still there, but the color seemed to have lightened up a bit. Though it was still visible. Sure Kai was a little happy that it worked a tiny bit, but he wanted it to be completely gone. He wanted to master this technique. For the sake of those around him and the Otokage's wishes.
So he made a few more hand signs and winced a bit. This was using up a lot of his chakra. AND HE BARLEY EVEN CURED A SCRATCH! This sucked. Why couldn't he just go stalk shun like usual? Wait a sec. Shun was training....that means he might have some small cuts or bruises. OH JACKPOT! A reason for Kaichou to touch Shun in strange places But wait..he couldn't just leave Seika after he beat up on her. Kai looked at Seika with a rather depressed look on his face. It's alright though. He'll live a day without Shun's presence. The chakra in his hand began to flicker wildly. He was struggling to concentrate his Chakra on the bruise, but it was getting very difficult to carry on. But he pushed himself anyway. Kaichou Cheshiru doesn't give up.

Seika raised a brow at his failed attempts to heal her wound. It was actually hilarious to a point where she felt sorry for him. 'At least he's making an effort.' She thought and gave off a smug grin. ''Hey, by the time you finish up here the Chunin exams will be over, grow a brain and hurry will you?'' Seika teased and stuck her nose up at him rather snobbishly. Of course Seika was no better, but it was her way of motivating her brother to push himself. To be better. He needed it, that motivation. Seika was always showing him signs of her unconditional love. Though, the way she expressed it was definitely unorthodox. It was just how she was. What Seika really couldn't understand was why on earth Kaichou like Shun of all people. What makes him so special? He's just a jerk. They'd probably never see eye to eye, but because of the Otokage's presence. She'll be forced to get along with him. Wait...why does she hate Shun? There had to be a reason. No...there WAS a reason. Before she could finish her possible realization of why she hated Shun so much. Seika was brutally assassinated by Kaichou's fists. It happened so fast she didn't have time to react. So she just curled up in the fetal position and covered her head with her arms. When he was finished Seika shot back up and gave her sibling a furious glare. ''HEY, THE ******** IS YOUR PROBLEM?!'' She barked and raged. Oddly enough she didn't move at all. She just sat there and let him do whatever it was he had been planning. Seika turned her gaze over to Kai and pursed her lip. She could tell he was more interested in working with Shun more. Oh dear, was Seika jealous? Nah, she was just mad because she hated Shun and he seemed to fancy that gender bender barbie. ''Why do you try so hard when you don't even want to be around me? Go practice on Shun or something.'' Seika flicked her wrist around, giving Kai the 'shoo' gesture. It was clear that she didn't want Kai to be around her with thoughts of Shun. It was gross. It's not like she was purposely reading his mind either. Twin telepathy sucked at times..
