Koutetsu walked through the gates and headed to the check in Station. After signing back in and reporting job complete, he made his way to the academy. but as he was walking he noticed a sign announcing the opening of the college. I guess, I'll head there instead.

Six individuals each arrived at the gates, the same ones who had been hauled in by the Vortex last time, and were now in the company of two more, two more women added to the Six Paths of Pain. Only one more... once she had optained the power. Until then, however, it was simply her and her entourage. They stopped, explaining that she was here for an audience with the leader of the village, whomever that conerned. Her cloaked entourage went about as they did, Sevastiana humming to herself, Mugen looking dark and brooding, Jaeng-i intensely staring at the gate guards unflinchingly. The two new girls, one with soft blue hair and a face that looked almost young seemed entirely too curious, and the larger woman, easily 6'5, seemed to already be prepared to start a fight if need be. Falsa herself... well she just looked a little drained... a little empty compared to how she was.
Taylor'arrived at the village gates first. He kind of bolted after the incident which occurred between Shinsei and himself. His mind was still racing. He held up his sword and Horus appeared out of it in the form of a lightning bolt. The large eagle looked at Taylor as he knew something was wrong. "Sorry to have you worried boy." He said as he belted his sword and stroked the feathers of his avian companion. He looked at the boy and smiled, but then turned his head and saw that the village gates already had a group. There were six individuals, and Taylor recalled one of them as the sibling of Shinsei. She was also pulled into Vortex for rogue behavior. But, since that's why Taylor was there, maybe she was friendly? Taylor moved past Horus as the bird turned around and looked onto their interaction. He smiled and waved at the girl with the blue hair and the purple eyes. "You're Shinsei's sister, right? I'm his friend, Taylor." He said with an extended right hand to be shaken. The word friend felt awkward to his mind as he thought about what just occurred. Were they just friends? Were they more? Did Taylor mess them up from becoming more? Did Taylor want them to become more?

As Shinsei intentionally kept his distance from Taylor -- in order to allow the boy to recollect himself -- he finally caught up, and immediately found himself witnessing Falsa surrounded by a further plethora of Rinnegan bodies. Unlike Taylor, he was not confused of them -- he already knew what they were, and what they did. The girl was . . . extending her repertoire. He wondered how far she could go, and even how powerful she could become.
"Hey Falsa," he called out, nonchalantly, as he brushed up by Taylor's side and patted the boy on the shoulder. His eyes had an odd glint, comforting but mostly just playful, as if he were teasing him for his shyness. The same sort of mood clung to his lips, which smirked lightly. "A lot has happened since I left. For both of us, it seems. What are you doing back?" he questioned. Something felt... sort of off. He was uncertain of whether to feel discomfort.
When Taylor appeared again, the girl's keen and powerful eyes lazily fell upon him with a spark of interest. When the boy moved closer and spoke to her, it wasn't falsa, but Sevastiana who all but leaped to snag his hand, shaking it gingerly as she looked upon him. "Hello hello hello!~ I'm so happy you didn't end up getting eaten by the snake people in that temple place, I was exorbitantly worried about you actually. Jaeng-i over there-" she gestured to the white haired woman who seemed to be lost in a book, but looked up and offered a firm wave of her hand before getting back into it again, "Figured you were going to die or something. Ah, sorry you were asking Falsa a question. Yeah, she's Shinsei's younger, prettier, cooler, much more classy sister." She finally let his hand go after probably wringing it loose, and Falsa seemed to look apologetic on the behalf of the body puppet she herself was controlling. All to keep up the act. "I'm Sevastiana. That is Mugen-" The boy who looked a bit angry as a default nodded his head. "Nastasha," the large woman relaxed herself and gave a thumbs up. "And Vivi." Lastly, the blue haired youth gave a curious but cautious wave, and spoke next. "Are you guys actually friends? You're voice faltered a little there." Tactless as Vivi seemed to be, Falsa was entirely curious about it, and giggled a little as she patted Vivi on her head.
"You don't have to answer that. It's no trouble at all. I heard you were once part of the Kogarashi? I thought your name rang a bell or two. Funny how small the world is. And how quickly it can change." A threat? No. While she did have ill will for them it wasn't for the individuals but the ideal and what they stood for. Before she spoke again there was, however the briefest moment of silence where all of the paths at once seemed to look directly at him, down at him, up at him... from every angle they could. Unblinking. Unmoving save for Falsa drawing breath, belatedly making each of them do the same less rhythmically, if Taylor would even notice. Everytime a new body was added, it put her off of her game for a little while and now she had two more to manage.
She finally looked away and broke the moment of threatening awkwardness when Shinsei came into view. "Shin-chan! Indeed a lot has. I've been on my nonsense as you can see." She winked, and then Nastasha and Vivi both seemed to giggle. "I ran into a few more of our cousins as you can see. Nastasha adn Vivi both missed you" She lied, giving him all he needed to keep up with her lie of life. "What about you. Were you two on your way out, by chance?"
Taylor eye's widened when the girl eagerly shook his hand. He was not anticipating such a passionate response, especially from someone he did not know. The more excited girl seemed very happy that Taylor was still alive. He blinked twice as he too was kind of glad the Vortex did not lock him up for all of eternity. Taylor felt a shiver go through him as another person asked if whether or not they were truly friends. He was about to stammer out a response when the true Falsa did stand up, so to speak. Her statement about being a member of Kogarashi hit him hard in the chest. It was so strange that the people who found him turned out to be such wretched people. He was in his thoughts when Shinsei moved behind him. Another shiver crawled through him. This one was much more primal, however, as his body felt in chills when Shinsei was close. He had to ignore it for the moment, however. "We are on our way out!" Taylor said a little too fast. "Natasha, Mugun, Savastiana, Vivii, Jaengi-, and Falsa." He said, hoping that he didn't miss anyone. "If you want to join, then I'm sure Shinsei would love the company." He said. He truly wasn't sure if Shinsei would enjoy the company. He was just afraid of what would happen if the two of them were along for too long. Before either of them could respond, Taylor left.

It was odd observing the interactions between Taylor and Falsa. They were both... friendly people, though one was on the aggressive - his sister - and one frantically searched for the quickest way out of the conversation. Taylor seemed embarrassed, and perhaps awkward, though he was naturally so. The Senju had to stifle a laugh as he watched the two commerce, before finally he was met with the honorable title of 'Shin-chan' by his sister. Chan. That wasn't incredibly manly, but he wasn't defensive of his masculinity, regardless.
"Natasha and Vivi," he said. So, there were more. Cousins. They joined Mugen, Jaeng-I, and Sevastiana. Natasha, Vivi. Falsa. Six bodies -- they were really like... the legends of old. And they had truly become something of a dissociating network, bodies with minds almost like their own, though distributed through the complex neural network of one girl who both demanded compliance and desperately sought companionship.
Of course she could come.
"We were on our way out, onee-chan," he called her, with a friendly smile warming his lips. "We have a mission to, well... convince rogues to place their loyalties at the feet of the Uzukage. To put it simply. I have returned to the village as a Konin, and Taylor is now pursuing this task with me until we've suited the Uzukage's demands. At that point, he'll be given status within the village." He explained what he could; there was no reason to lie to her. She hadn't done anything to harm him, even though -- still, between them -- there was an awkward gap between their souls. They had not known true kinship in some time, and now, he felt only reserved and restrained.
Looking into the silvery-purple rings that filled out her eyes, though, he felt a profound curiosity; he wanted to know all that she'd seen, all that she had done. "Falsa, I'm... going to go see our mom. And my dad, too, maybe. If you want to come, I won't stop you. We were given the task to bring three rogue ninja into the fold. Our mom and my dad... they're both as good as rogues, right? So maybe I can bring them home and absolve Taylor of his guilt in the same stroke. I think... it's the right thing to do. If they can even still be reasoned with," he said, stress overtaking him. It was obvious that he was worried.
"If you want to see them, come along with me, Falsa. I'm going to where they live, right now. Keep up," he said, before walking along the path towards the Fire Country, or what remained of it, at least.
tab It felt good to be herself again. Running a hand through her hair Lahlil made her way through the village gates on a small canal boat. Passing by one the officials Lahlil handed off her report of the events that passed while she was away. Normally she would take them herself but Lahlil was eager to prove herself on her next mission.
Cason, with an aburdly large backpack for his tiny frame, stood anxiously awaiting the arrival of his guard. His flattened out some wrinkles on his white coast and paced back and forth- ready to get underway

It took more self control than could be reasonably asked of a woman like Falsa not to have all of her paths gag when Shinsei mentioned their parents to her. Even in passing, it made her turn up her nose, and the true Falsa absolutely did so. She cast her eyes to the side, and all of the paths had a bit of gloom crawl over them. As soon as she could escape from under their foot she did so. The smotheringly high pressure, the piercing expectations. Nothing was more annoying except knowing that the opposite had been thrust upon her older brother. She sighed, and Vivi watched after Taylor, waiting until he was out of ear shot before Falsa could speak. "Shinsei. I'll go with you to see them. It suits my ambitious and... well my petty side to go and show her that she and your dad weren't necessary. That we are both better without her. Even if I don't agree with your reasoning... such that I can see it anyway, I can see working with Uzushiogakure is something that has sparked your interest. I came, in fact, to see if I could use their facilities so perhaps first I should join you. I will go with you. Perhaps the criminal network that I have subjugated can come in handy too. If taking people away from the Kogarashi is our goal."
As she walked after Taylor, Nastasha spoke in a somewhat deep, disjointed voice like something artificial. "If it were up to me... I would just wipe them out."
"Temper temper. Hammer it home." "Temper temper. Hammer it home."
Koutetsu stopped off briefly at the Gate Station to mark down where he was heading. Once he did, he hefted his back up further and stepped out of the gates. Koutetsu was ready to see them again. Dade was really down to earth, much like Dot; Flopsy and Mopsy seemed cool, even if a bit proud of their abilities; and Gran Gran seemed sweet.

Koutetsu arrived back at the village gates, his head hung low. Hmm... that discussion provided some more info, but they still don't seem to think I am ready. Koutetsu shook his head, It's no use considering it now. I'll have to find a way to get closer to them later. I need to check in and see if there is anything that needs to be done. Koutetsu signed in at the gate station, then headed home to drop off his bag.

__ After rendezvousing with and being escorted back to Uzushiogakure by the dispatched VORTEX operatives, Zhi and Tetsuhiko would finally return to the village. It wasn't actually that long since they'd departed on their investigations, but it certainly felt like it had been quite some times since she'd seen these gates. Luckily, there were no incidents with further lack of control of her newfound powers. In fact, it felt like she had gained knowledge that wasn't originally hers on how to use and master them to further heights. "Renaissance, we'll report to the Uzukage then I'll get a checkup at the hospital before I take on any more assignments. It was super nice working alongside you again though." Zhi smiled from behind her mask, and she hoped that her friend knew that she truly meant her expressed gratitude. She continued to take the lead between the two of them on the way to the Uzukage's Central Administrative Building.

The man stopped at the gates to look at the beauty of them. For a moment some anxiety was placed over him. It had been a long time since he left the village. However, it was ready to begin the path to bring Suna back to it's former glory. Saiko smiled and headed off.
As Saiko moved through the gates, a man approached him. He was layered in multiple sheets as one would be if they were born in the desert. He looked confused as he stumbled around the gates. However, his brown eyes illuminated when he saw the one eyed man. "Saiko?" He said as though it was a whisper. His arm extended for a shake as he went to meet him directly in his sights. "Do you remember me?" He said with a warm smile. He did not care if he was recalled, since he would forgive if the man did not. After all, he was a relatively quiet academy teacher back within Sunagakure. His sand village headband was adorned around his sash.
