 {6/10} Kazuki had now gotten a taste for the chakra, and felt he knew better how to control it. He felt he was more prepared to handle it now. Kazuki took in a deep breath, and headed out into the water. Immediately, the nature chakra began to work its magic. Kazuki stopped moving, freezing himself totally. He closed his eyes, and worked on keeping the chakra under control. Kazuki imagined himself being a magnet, and all of the energy being pushed towards him.
Kazuki faltered for merely a second, and that was all it took to break him. The alteration process always started with his hand. Kazuki's light skin began turning white, with black edges. Kazuki kept his panic down, and focused on gathering the nature chakra once more. Kazu's arms began to change as well. Kuminji began to enter the water, ready to change him back to normal. "No! Let me do this! I can do this!" Kazuki shouted, pushing himself harder. The panda change was up to his neck now, almost fully consuming him. Kazuki stopped his emotions from driving him insane, and focused purely on what he needed to do.

 {7/10} The change was just about to take over, the blue from his left eye having vanished and changed to a yellowish form. His entire body was almost pandafied when Kuminji jumped in the water. "That's it!" He shouted, unsheathing his blade and wrapping it with chakra. He raised the blade overhead, when Nanaoka bellowed. "Leave him! Look closely!' One of Kazuki's eyes were still blue, and the skin around the eye was flickering between fur and skin. Kazu's face was passive despite all of this. In his mind, Kazuki was gathering the energy, not letting it escape from him.
Soon, he began to have control over it. The fur started to drop away from his body, gathering around his feet. The fur receded down his neck, and then his arms and hands as well. Soon, Kazuki was standing in the water, with no trouble at all. "I told you Kuminji, just need to give him a chance." Kazuki shouted with joy at his triumph over the chakra. He looked down at the water, which seemed to have stopped around him. Looking back at him was someone rather familiar, yet still different. Kazuki had large dark circles around his eyes, just as the pandas did. His eyes were yellow as well. "What's going on? He said, prodding himself with his hands. Nanaoko came lose, eying him carefully. "Never met anyone who hasn't been changed by this; entering sage mode and what not." Kazuki nodded his head, wondering what the next step is. "Now, go and get that medallion up there alright? But just don't use yer chakra. Go ahead and push the tree down." Kuminji said, once more relaxing on the banks of the river.

 {8/10} Kazuki had been dumfounded to hear about what he had to do. The tree was massive, 120 paces around. To see the top of it, he had to lean very far back. Yes, he had smashed a boulder with his fist, but that was a but a pebble compared to the tree. Kaz put his hands against the tree, pushing as hard as he could. The tree did nothing at all, merely continuing to absorb sunlight. Kazuki adjusted his legs, digging them in and pushing even harder. A few creaks sounded, but that was all.
Kazuki walked over to yet another boulder, and lifted it into the air with general ease. He tossed it over to the tree and dug it into the ground a bit. Kazuki put his legs against the boulder, and tried once more. Kazuki's muscles strained and he even grunted. The boulder cracked and groaned and slid back, causing Kazuki to fall flat on his face. He lifted himself up once more, brushing the dirt off of himself. Kazuki looked at the boulder, and suddenly had an idea.

 {9/10} Kazuki wrapped his arms around the boulder for as far as they could go. His fingers dug into the rock, and he lifted with all of his strength. Kazu felt that this was pretty easy, but felt some of his strength slipping. It was pretty easy to keep hold of chakra, even while moving around and what not. Kazuki walked some ways off, and turned away from the tree. He began to spin, and then released the rock at the proper time. The rock slammed into the tree, creating a small hole. The hole was hardly decent enough to be of any significance.
Kazuki went over to the tree, and pressed his hand against it. The bark on it was soft, but the inside of it was rock solid. The bark, was soft. Kazuki smirked, and put his hands once more upon the bark. He dug his fingers in, and gripped it hard. He bent low, and launched himself upward, creating a small crater. Kazuki managed to shoot himself halfway up a tree, and did so once more. Finally, he reached the branch with the medallion. Kazuki rested on the branch while he hung the necklace around his neck. Kazuki sneezed once, wondering why he was feeling so dizzy. Before he knew it, Kazuki was falling through the sky.

 {10/10} Kazuki awoke some feet below ground, in his very own crater. Kuminji poked his head over, and scooped Kazu out of the hole. Kazu woke up next to Nanaoko, feeling her warm fur against him. "Does this keep happening?" Kazuki asked, sitting up slowly. Nanaoko laughed heartily. Kuminji rubbed him on his head, and spoke warmly to him. "Yeah probably will. But Kazu-kun, you've done it. You are the Bear Sage." Kazuki smiled, and then laid his head down. "That's lovely. But I think I'll take a nap now..." Kazuki said as the last bit of Nature chakra drained out of him.

The smell of fresh food was what woke Kazuki up. He opened his eyes, yawned and stretched. Kazu was in a little hut, probably in a tree from the way it lightly swayed back and forth. He swung his legs over the bed and rose to his feet. His nose was leading him throughout the cabin, when he saw someone looking at him. Kazuki back pedaled and looked at the stranger. The man was very tall, though muscular. He had strong features. The man's blue eyes stared back at Kazuki, observing him as Kazu observed the man. Kazuki noticed the guy had a subtle beard, though it was kept very clean. The man had reddish hair that was pushed back out of his face.
Kazuki had been surprised to see another human in the Bear lands, and the man appeared just as surprised. Kazuki extended his hand as if to greet him and spoke. "It's nice to meet y-" Kazuki paused, noticing the man was holding out the same hand, and his lips were moving as his were. He waved his hand back and forth, realizing the man was himself. Kazuki reached up and touched the stubble on his face, wondering what the hell had happened. "They told ya didn't they? Ya changed Kazu, grew up really." The orange panda Aioko said from the other room. Kazuki walked over to him in a bit of a stupor, trying to get used to his new found height and girth. "I thought they meant while I was in sage mode! Look at me! I'm..I'm...well a bit handsome but I'm old!" Kazuki had said, feeling drained of a few years of his life. Aioko motioned for him to sit down and relax while he served up some various foods. "Handsome? Sure if I happened to be a human lady. Old? Nah, you're roughly 26 I'd say. Just think of it as a testament to your power." He said, sitting across from Kazuki.
For awhile they talked and ate, merely getting Kazuki up to speed. His older self was very fit, strong, and agile. Kazuki was able to swing his Jinsei Tengoku much faster and stronger, and even with more accuracy. More chakra seemed to seep into him to. The world around him was working with him now, rather than against. Kazuki had finally found his zen. When he was finished putting himself through some rigorous tests, Kazuki returned to the little shack. "I think it's time for me to go back, but I'll keep in touch Aioko-san! Say goodby to Nanaoko and Kuminji for me eh?" He said, strapping all of his equipment back onto his body. He wore a regular pair of pants, boots, some straps of armor, and somewhat of a cape. He placed the Jinsei Tengoku he had under the pack on his back, and made sure his Shishigami necklace was in place as well. Kazuki gave Aioko a hug, and headed back to the village of the Rogues.
