αKya was invested now, as she stared at the man while he moved towards him. The way he used clones was... somewhat inspired, she could tell. There was nothing wrong with that at all, and she even went as far as to smirk at him. The first lesson was complete, and he was no worse for wear. That was good, even if she was barely putting her all into the man's trial. If he didn't survive that, this would be quite boring, a tremendous waste of time and effort. Within his pit, now, he was her quarry, and even as he made to launch himself at her in his neutral stance she was already making a fairly long string of handseals, the culmination of which would be the formation of clones of her own, each of which would speak at once, one to Zahara proper, one to his clone, and then her own mouth in general.
"So you can move, good. But the second lesson is much more important. Through FOCUS!" she exclaimed as she herself burst into burning flower petals as the second and third of her techniques each came about. She stood at the top of the pit she had created then, hidden through the Shroud of Darkness Genjutsu that would rob him of sight and sound, as well as the added chakra sense fooling his byakugan into beliving his entire sight range was filled to the brim with a deep, pressuring blackness. The clones themselves, too, would each have the smell and chakra senses added on, fully able to appear as real clones, and as the darkness rolled in the second she bursted into petals, it would have the sound sense added, giving that ominous feeling of sensory deprivation without actually deafening him. "Comes Clarity!" the pair of clones finished as one rushed down the first Zahara, and the second went after his clone, even if he couldn't hear it. All the while, Kya kept watch to see how and where she would be intervening to keep him on his toes.

Zahara Half-Blood Hyuuga
... I am the Flame of the North ...
React to the growing Darkness, Clones and Second Test
Zahara -> Earth Tremor Sense -> Elaborate reaction to darkness, notice the 'clones'
When there was light, there was to be Darkness in the depths of the combat. Zahara had kept to being purely reactive and with good reason, in the back of his mind he had self doubt of his own abilities capable of matching the titan of chakra he saw. While trapped within a earthen pit, he kept his cool and composure even in the face of such odds. In fact now Zahara was cracking a grin wide as he felt invigorated from his situation and this only grew wider when he observed the string of seals from her. Chakra welling up from this monster of such opposition as he took notice of clones. Plural.
Movement isn't everything, that was pure improvisation with it. Zahara thought to himself as he felt the flow of his chakra network already willing itself to life as he moved his body and clapped both hands together at chest level. He gathered energy through these subtle motions and if the woman could see chakra like himself, she would see the formation of ninjutsu swelling within his chest. The display of burning petals and the clones were like an ominous display as he prepared for the next phase in the wicked hell as he could sense his vision fading... dropping...
The veins around Zahara's eyes eased in tension, chakra flow returning to normal as the Byakugan deactivated out of Zahara's own decision soon as he realized his vision was failing him. Now the chakra flowed through his body like normal as both he and the clone worked in unison as the dopplers of the wolf advanced. A new sensation flowed through Zahara as chakra poured out from his body and through his feet to 'feel' the lay of the land, sensing through the sense of touch for that of vibrations as a means of mapping his environment. Within the same use of chakra, the man suddenly jumped backward two steps and waved a single sign for concentration as he literally sunk into the earth, his clone doing the same as the two slipped beneath the physical floor to become one with the earth and they earth sank two feet under it.
Rob me of senses, through what senses I do have I can still 'see' to a point. Now. To gather my thoughts... Zahara thought to himself as he kneaded more chakra through his body as he actively sought to 'feel' out positioning while preparing a high concentration of chakra within his body capable of being spotted by chakra sight either way from a combination of the chakra being used and the active ninjutsu being used from him and the clone to stay under the floor.
[Zahara: 329 C - 193 S ~~ Clone: 84 C - 108 S
Calculations not put in. But -> Main Z used C-Rank Earth Tremor Sense, Earth Military movement E-Rank | Clone used E-Rank ]
αEyes as sharp as that of a hawk flicker about, even as the body they are attached to is absolutely stone still, picking apart Zahara's every finite movements, from his facial expression, all the way down to the handseals he formed. Of all whom had administered the test, he seemed to be enjoying it the most. Whether that meant that Kya was getting slow, or soft in her old age? That remained to be seen, in the end. Kya was not shocked to see familiar handseals, an entirely easy to predict response, but a response nonetheless. One that would give him purpose, as she imagined.
If he thought he would have any time at all to breath, however, he was entirely wrong. Just ebcause he had shown quick thinking and passed the first lesson, didn't mean those lessons were anywhere close to finished. A lightning fast weaving of seals produced her technique in response to him and his false self sinking into the ground: quite the dangerous move, even if his senses were robbed anyway. His tremor sense would alert him to the sudden, intense rumble in a way normal feeling wouldn't, closing in on him from literally all around. The Landslide Technique, a high level Doton jutsu, and one that she was more than ready to cause him to die with, as the earth ripped itself upwards, churning and turning, he and his clone would both need to avoid the skill inorder for both to survive: surely taxing with the speed it came in. All while she focused her sight on the Hyuuga, a bit of blood starting to well up, spilling over and down.

Zahara Half-Blood Hyuuga
... I am the Flame of the North ...
Like a spider's web, he felt the ground shift and churn as the madness of the trial ensued on to the response the judge had to offer. If Chie's training back at the leaf village was of any result, Zahara was going to put it to the test here with redoubled purpose as he and the clone steeled their resolve. Focus... Concentrate... Seeing as you're a prolific earth user...Ah Zahara's thoughts ran through a scenario as he felt the intensity of growing rumble. Within the earthen floor both he and the clone had prepared their chakra beforehand as they churned their focus into defense.
Chie's lessons flooded back to him in that moment, to combine two techniques together into a single one and to collaborate his efforts with another. He had done so with the girl back at the academy but he learned his shadow clones were just as good, if not better. The main body of Zahara felt the oncoming attack as he willed himself through the earth to his clone. With chakra flowing outwards from himself while the clone synchronized as well with a combination of two different abilities meshed into another. Within an instant, the earth shook violently as two opposing forces of chakra squared off as the surface above him and the clone rippled and cracked with muffled explosions going off. Zahara's chakra sent off a wave of volatile chakra directly in front of him and the clone as the clone primed another technique of his Hyuuga heritage meant for defeating chakra based attacks. The end result was a flash of white light erupting out from the ground with immediate contact with Kya's technique, the explosion element and the hyuuga technique clashing with the earthen ability to not entirely defeat it but more or less divert its destruction in two directions to either flank of Zahara as he and the clone both rose from the ground with the clone making use of its own military movement to carry the two to the surface.
As they would rise, again in mirroring form they stood with hands outstretched and they were back to back as Zahara kept his sense of touch aware, still under the darkness despite rising from the earth. The resulting eruption of the two attacks left the ground uneven, broken and churned like tilled soil as smoke trailed from the remains of what Zahara's technique had done. Anything more and I don't believe I can stop it. Best I could do is redirect it away. Zahara mused, taking note of the intense vibrations and rocking of the earth he had felt.
"I am sorely at a disadvantage here." he said aloud, speaking low as he were unaware if she would be able to hear him as he couldn't hear himself. Instead, he kept at the ready and focused again on the ninjutsu that gave him some semblance of his surroundings. "Forcing my hand to use my more potent abilities." he added with a grin.
[Baku Shuuha combined with One Body blow, Wave of explosions combined with a hyuuga technique that defeats equal ranked techniques, Korabo effect applied to Shuuha wave explosion and diverted the effects of Landslide to the left and right of Zahara as a result to simulate the power difference of Z and Kya, both were B-Ranked Spiritual Techs for collision. Z used earth military movement to reposition, shuuha, tremor sense. Clone used Korabo'd One Body Blow, Movement to rise back up.]
αKya was unbothered as the burst of attacks occurred, sending debris, rocks, and dust flying past her. She moved her head slightly out of the way of one attack, and her hand snatched a second out of the air before it collided with her chest. Her eyes washed over the rock and she tossed it aside as she would anything else with no purpose. And purpose was what she had intended to thrust into the grunt before her. Her eyes narrowed, and she allowed the blood still flowing down from her eyes to drip onto the floor, her power robbing her in one area in order to draw upon itself truly. She allowed the orbs of her eyes to center on Zahara whom had risen up into the perfect position after her charging period, and he would find himself drawn in by an otherworldly force he couldn't have rightly seen coming.
He would fall a single story tot he ground inside of her personal world, water up to his waist in depth turbulent, bothersome to stand on or in. His senses came back to him as she ended her jutsu, but what he would see would be a bright sky, rife with clouds and lightning, waves in the distance pushing and shoving debris of buildings, ships, bits of forests as well. Things that had been stolen from the outerworld and brought to the miniverse were always subject to the wrath of The Mother, and Kya herself stood in the center of an avatar towering over Zahara even as far away as it was, with a blade in it's hand easily eclipsing the sun as Kya brought it above the head of her Susano'o and called out in a booming voice. "Behold, Zahara. Your final lesson, is TRUTH!" she roared as many millions of massive, writhing tentacles wriggled about the form of her azure blue stand in, with her in a small diamond on it's head. The weapon came slamming down over Zahara, carving the clouds apart and showing the universe itself behind them, no blue skies, nothing so simple.
Stars, infinite and far reaching, all in motion, colliding and exploding in blindingly bright endings and beginnings, breathing life to new stars, empowering the survivors as they chugged along. The blade crashed down before him, cracking and rending the earth, scattering away the small ocean and all the floatsam, leaving Zahara to see the blade had rammed into bedrock, causing a rift of energy to appear, and something of a serpent's head to rise from the ground, followed and flanked by innumerable tentacles that as well. The golden head of the snake exhaled once, and the ghasts and ghosts of a million billion slain souls escaped, scattering to the skies to have their energy join the endless dance above, and it opened one peering eye to Zahara.
At that moment, understanding would strike his mind like a spike, and he would see his very soul pulled out, snatched by the hand of Kya's susano'o and being pulled out. "It was never I whom you needed to prove yaself to, child. The Mother has final say where souls are concerned, I merely bring truth. Prove your understanding. Show us why you deserve to draw breath!" Her Sharingan blazed as she intoned, speaking tongues and yanking his soul in an effort to rip it free. His will against hers: Truth Bearer and Paylangi.
Whatever his interpretation of Kya's faith, how she carried herself, how hard her fight always had been, it was shunted into his brain, causing him a great difficulty in thinking. The lessons thus far would be key.
But at the end of the day Zahara needed to want to live, to drive himself and the universe towards their destiny in order to survive.
And Kya knew not the meaning of mercy as more and more tentacles, physical representations of her adamant resilience, sought to come down and crush him while they struggled.

Zahara Half-Blood Hyuuga
... I am the Flame of the North ...
Reality slipped away when a sensation of falling came about, in darkness he fell for a time as the world was still dark and mute. Now, it was cold and no longer dark but now completely devoid of where he once was. No longer was this a room lined with tatami and braziers, he dropped into a world no longer of their own as his senses returned to see where he was as he quickly corrected himself from the fall and stood atop of the water. It was rough as he stood unevenly before falling into the cold almost icy waters down to his waist with a sharp intake of air. Chaos reigned here, no sense of normalcy was anything apparent as he looked about to see this strange world about him. Clouds, lightning churned in the distance, chunks of indistinguishable buildings, ships and land swirled through the waves. Now he stood against a massive figure far in the distance with the same woman who'd been his judge during the whole ordeal. A creature or extension of her perhaps, completely dwarfed him and the entire area as it spoke out with the authority belonging to that of a deity in legend.
Final Lesson. Truth.
A blade rose through the air as a sensation of both anticipation and dread clutched within Zahara as he backed away out of instinct as this unknown humanoid thing was covered with tentacle appendages of azure coloration raised the blade and dropped it down through the sky. He threw up his arms then in a defensive pose, teeth gritting and he moved back even further again, jumping as far as he could but it wasn't needed. The scene quite literally changed, gone was the mass of chaotic sky only to be replace by vantablack darkness strewn with lights and stars as the blade missed him but it struck the earth as the water drained along with everything else within the turbulent sea.
By the gods what in the.. He caught himself on the bedrock to prevent being sucked in as well as he watched in complete disbelief. It was nightmare made manifest as he bore witness to a display that almost made him certain it was a trip down the wrong way as a mass of writing tendrils broke free. Chakra, or so he assumed, belched out into the air as the head rose whilst a gold serpentine creature had shown its face, a maw opening as apparitions flew out to join chaos above. A high pitch ring lanced his ears and the brain went haywire as the creature opened its gaze upon him as the deadening ring wracked his body like a holy flame, he twisted and contorted for a moment with a clenched jaw.
Strength faded, mind addled and vision blurred. Sensation of touch grew cold, heart stilled as the body slowed and stiffened. The nerve endings of his body felt sharp then silent in the screaming agony before even the ring in the mind grew silent. Zahara fell to the ground in the moment as the soul was pulled and the clutch of the inevitable grew firm. In the mindscape of himself, his inner sanctuary he stood alone and aloft in a sea of black, small island comically lack of trees and vegetation that only extended out into the sea as a growing sandbar.
It was never I whom you needed to prove yaself to, child. The sea roiled, ripples and splashes appeared at random, spires of rock and sand rising slowly. The Mother, Zahara stood in the center of this scene, head low then he looked forward with a snap. has final say where souls are concerned, I merely bring truth. Amber eyes settled on the mental image of the sharingan hovered high in the dull grey sky, burning deep within the mental planescape as his own turn ivory white, veins pulsing anew with vigor. Prove your understanding. Show us why you deserve to draw breath. The mindscape exploded into activity as Zahara bellowed a cry as the spires of stone lurched up from the black sea as he faded away with a large earthen fist lunged at the phantasmal eyes in his mind.
Zahara snapped back to himself in the chaotic world, returning to consciousness as he broke out into a long lingering roar mixed with fury and pain, he stood upon his feet and stretched out his arm to the hand pulling and tugging at his inner self. "I give no damn shits of whatever mother or creature on this damned earth, but I have a few choice words for what of that is concerned." He bellowed out as he exerted external control of himself and resisted the pull from the woman even more, body flexing and knees bending as he kept up with the spiritual tug of war. Understanding not a lick of what was happening to him other than knowing the sensation he felt was his life slipping carefully if he didn't resist. "You want me to show you, then point me in the direction of your foes and I'll throw myself at them with abandon. I live to fight and tear into my enemies, this is why I seek to draw breath and I will be damned if I fall to this trickery like others before me." Zahara roared out again and renewed himself as he saw the coiling tentacles coming for him as he resisted the pull and tug more and more.
"I seek to ******** beat down a hundred foes with my bare hands and blast apart a hundred more with a single punch. Whatever resolve I had is lost, I've no family to return to or folks to confide myself in only the blind loyalty I have to what may give me chance to prove my body and mind in the fire of battle. The only way to move is forward, stagnation is death of mind, body and purpose! Through the focus of my fury will be the downfall of my foes and those who give me the tools to operate, to those I've my undying loyalty to that which will give me purpose. This is my truth and my words to you hex-speaker, I've a new pillar to topple as long as you stand and I draw breath, I seek to stand where you are now in the future and with pride!" At the final line, Zahara's grin would widen into a smile, teeth bared as he poured his meaning into these words. Understanding filled him without knowing its origin, fear evaporated and a new purpose filled him with a sense of duty and a new loyalty developing. This was fueled by one thing, his want to brawl more and eventually face this woman again, a deep respect was there despite what he termed as 'hex-speaker'.
αKya was dead-set intent on murdering the man if he didn't prove himself worthy. The more he struggled, the more he fought the greater the fight became. Swirling winds, heat harnessed into form as stars exploded and died all around until all that made sense was his will and what of hers he had been grating against through the entirety of their skirmish. Her muscles strained even though she didn't even have to use them. Her eyes snapped open, glowing azure as he spoke to her, finding time and breath to affirm himself verbally in this fight for his life. Zahara proved something, not to her, but himself as truth burrowed into his brain.
A final huff of god's power, a literal breath, and everything turned white, sensations turned into numbness washing over the form of Zahara. Hex-Speaker was nonsense, and it meant nothing to her in truth, but rather what he had learned, what he'd gained for himself amid what she shoved into him: that meant the world to her. And in her wisdom and fierceness, Kya felt soft for the first time since stealing the kiss from the lips of Genbu herself. She missed Sanae... she wished she could see Zahara... it was the same thing San herself had been forced to do to Kya of all people, reminding her of who she was and destroying the valley of the end in the process.
Kya stood with Zahara as the pure energy of creation, of destiny, of ALL swirled into his mind. Both of his eyes white and glowing, staining Azure as he was flooded with determination and a sense of... Clarity. Kya stood beside him, as surely by the time he regained control of his faculties his body would have failed him, and she would be there ahead of him, standing atop a mountain of rubble, overlooking calm seas, save for scattered whirlpools here and there. They'd been taken to the Peak of Mt. Awajishima, and they could see over the entire village: Lake Caldera, where the demon had been taken and sealed, a village of turmoil with rogues attacking and being battled off, or succeeding in harming or even worse. But more importantly, with the Blessing of the Mother, he could see everything as San and Kya did. All was in motion, all was pushing that energy he'd witnessed to destiny.
"Very good, Zahara. All in life is Motion, and you have passed your test. Look here," she said pointing out over the village, ignoring the blood trailing down her face as she pointed to the aforementioned chaos. "You wish to bear the truth, well then you have much more to learn from me and from the world itself. Carry that vigor, that hunger within you. Allow it to evolve, to grow alongside you. Push towards that goal, towards me. Go now!" she commanded, almost shoving him off the edge. In reality, the moment she hit him, they were teleported in a blink back to the temple where the battle had begun, and Kya stood, polishing the blade of her scythe once more, not even bothering to clean the mess that had been made besides letting the pit and water clear out and return to the normal elevation.
There was nothing else for her to say on the matter.

Zahara Half-Blood Hyuuga
... I am the Flame of the North ...
In the recess of the depths of the mind was sprawling abyss, darkness continued on for miles with nothing in sight except for one thing. A fire illuminated this darkness as a small beacon against the endless black sea. It was bright light, shadows dancing from the flickering flames while a moon came into view, bright red as it were that night of chaos. Footsteps came, echoing with the sound of the fire as Zahara stepped through the darkness to the flames, his body missing his left arm, right eye closed with lacerations across the neck. His hair was streaked with white, his face creased with the wrinkles of age while his left eye glossed pale white with blindness. This battered man sat at the fire as it livened with his presence, the flame dancing, light brightening. Above him now the moon faded away from its crimson shade to a dull grey and then it shattered, scattering in the darkness in hundreds of pieces until it they too faded into the nondescript darkness that blanketed as far as the eyes could see. Old Zahara reached his one hand forward to the flames that burned before him, feeling the warmth touch his skin as it flared up more. Soon he was quickly caught alight, fire lurched onto his body and began to consume his decrepit body in whole but not a sound of pain escaped him, instead the flames grew larger and larger as the body turned to ash and became apart of the flame. All was left was the single flame once more, but now in the distance another ember sparked, and then another and another with many more coming alive as the vast darkness receded just a little bit from the new light created. The same fire now flared up on final time and then it expanded with ash scattering as a new being formed in the center of the immolating display, Zahara now stood anew and as how he looked with flames flickering off his person. Unmarred by time with his arm whole and eye still intact as he stood there in the ash with darkness creeping under his feet, embers burned still around his feet as the abyss returned but now held back by the glowing light of the embers and now a new flame came alive before him.
In the light of the flame, in its destructive core danced the images of what was shown to him by Kya had bestowed upon him. There lay Uzu, the vantage point from the top of the mountain peak overlooking it. Feeling returned to his arms, legs and his senses were his own again and felt a new understanding that he found but never lost, only fully realized from his ordeals. Out away from his mindseye, he would see this scene in person with the hex-speaker, Kya. A Demon, 5-tails, had attacked along with a plethora of other things that happened during the trial. Yet soon they were both back in the room, Zahara standing now without a clone and his mind reeling from sensory overload as he was on one knee. Contemplating.
"I thank you, He--..." Zahara almost spoke his nickname for her for a moment as he bowed his head slightly with his left arm held across the chest, clenched. "I thank you, Oracle." He rose then and turned away as he examined his left arm, peering at the bandages and curled a fist. "You made me see the truth, error in my old ways of hiding from it. In all rights I should be dead. So," He turned back around as he gestured to her with the same hand. "I seek to serve under you in what manner you see fit if you would allow this." a grin cracked at the corner of his mouth again with his wolfish in full display.
From there new orders given and Zahara was sent on his way, to find Chie to relay that his test was complete and that he was to be a serpent caller. A new era dawned now. /Exit.
"Some might not appreciate stealing ideas, you know. Luckily for you I'm not that sort of person. You took my concept of beating the s**t out of friends and went pro with it. Gotta say that you've got a talent for it."Kanzaki skipped the boring parts, such as communicating with the VORTEX or temple staff to ascertain her position or request her time, never one for the formalities he considered banal and irritating. Much like his attitude towards smoking anywhere, which he demonstrated by lighting up as soon as he found his old classmate, letting that first good hit sink into his lungs and escape as clear smoke when next he spoke."Don't ask where I've been; you'd hate the answer to the follow up question, 'what have I been doing' which is ******** all."In reality he had been doing much to distract himself from the events that transpired countless posts ago, leaving him all but alone in a village where none knew him by any stretch of the imagination. Exotic dancing, cooking, sleeping under the stars, righting wrongs and wronging others. In a sad, silly way, he wanted to make her truly angry this last time and leave everything they'd all worked so hard to build and protect. He didn't recognize any of it, and truth be told..."I'm taking off after I finish this cigarette. The kids here in Uzu, you, the new Kage... they don't need me anymore."It was nothing he felt ashamed of; quiet the opposite, in fact. Most, he imagined, could only dream of that sort this sort of day. Living to see a new generation take hold and make the world their own. There was just one more curiosity lingering, threatening to alter his opinion of her, past and present."For as obsessed with the written and oral histories, I put off learning more about our clan. Maybe in this sphere, it was different, I thought. Bonds and understanding as the basis for a love and empathy that would endure well beyond any of us. Put my mind behind the hell I had to come into my own in, at least in some small way. Make everything that I... she, Konohana, that poor girl... had to suffer through. Buuuuuut no. I read the tablet, and put two and two together. Nothing I hadn't seen before, TBH. I just wanna know before I take off if you did the deed yourself to get those eyes of yours."

αKya put down the scythe the very moment she heard his voice, turning on him with a focus that might only be regarded for enemies.
Or lovers.
"Well it was a good idea and you poofed. For all I knew you were dead, Shiba-san," she teased pulling down the ninja mask that she donned mostly for airs. Kanzaki was of three people who needed no formalities or stupid fake appearances. She saw him, unlike most, as an equal. And a damn irritation. "Couldn't let those traditions die with you." He went on to cut off her line of questions before she could even ask them, and she only smiled. That was a request to which she could acquiesce at the very least. She was too busy to worry where he was unless it would bring problmes. And as usual he droned on about some s**t she couldn't grasp but among that she did get the general message.
"Nah, shut up we definitely need you, Kanzaki. We always did, but what was more important was that you needed the space. So Sanae and I let it be when you didnt come with us. Plus... well she was busy driving my skull through the mountains to teach ME of all people a lesson about destiny to go chasing yah. As for my eyes," she spoke lighting the braziers in the room to full brightness, allowing him to see her plainly. "I didn't. No, I happened upon Chet's dead body, same as Oga. Except Chet overdosed and Oga had a heart attack but whatever. You know me and my curse. As for the final growth point..." she walked up to him, pulling open her shirt to her right shoulder. A tattoo, finely detailed in a way that formed a scene of a snake devoring a man holding the heart of someone else etched into the scales of a much larger design was clear. "My brother. He was killed by an old rival. No, Kanzaki, I didn't lose my way again. Your lessons built the foundation of the religious movements on which this villages foundations lie. I wouldn't betray that a** whoopin I had to give yah. Or the humility and patience it taught me. I view life as sacred even if I remind people how fleeting it is. Cigarette's almost done."
She snatched it from him, quick with her hands as always, and took a drag, inhaling a lungfull and walking away as it expelled from her nostrils. She kept it though, hanging from her lip. He should have brought enough for the class after all. "Sure you wanna get out of here, Kanzaki? There is a lot here for you. I hear whispers. All of them. Some are loud. Some say war is coming again. Rogues and such. We might have use for your skills honestly."

This almost didn't feel like the Kya he suspected she was to others, or maybe just another side most didn't see. No, she wasn't like him, after all. He knew their curse all to well, and took her truth to heart. He didn't have any hang-ups about making himself scarce anymore. Kya was an NPC and couldn't come after him, and nobody else had any personal investment in tracking him down. He didn't know enough to be threat, at least in his own mind. There was always some bigger thing on the horizon. Some new bunch of bastards or global cataclysm. They had done fine without him for the last ones, and would be better off for the next ones. He let her plod off with his cancer stick, confident she had this place no matter what. Kaoru already knew where to meet him, so with that, he turned and stuck his hand above his head with a peace sign, heading out of the lit chamber without another word.

Walking in to the temple, Sonyo passed a familiar face. She couldn't place him, but she remembered the dog that followed him around. Sonyo waited for a second, in excitement to see if Kaoru showed up... only to be left disappointed. There would be no goodest girl today, maybe not again ever. Slightly deflated, Sonyo made her way to Kya's guards to be led to her. They were always so intense, as they always were-- burning gazes and steel-wire muscles. Soon she was brought to her friend, and Sonyo greeted her with a bow. "Kya, you seem busy."

αKya merely shook her head as Kanzaki left her presence once more. She planted herself atop a stool, one leg folded below the other, and finished his cigarette off. "Dramatic ********> she lamented as he left. He was perhaps the greatest follower of the principles of motion in the world at large. He went where he weanted, did what he felt. She didn't begin to understand his mind but the Truth Bearer cared not.
It wasn't until Sonyo came in that she even remembered she was in the temple. The guards flanking her, flunkies but devout flunkies, bowed and turned on their heels immediately as she nodded. "Child of the Evergreen. My friend, please join me. I hear as I sit on my a**... things have been happening out there," she gestured over her shoulder. "I think I'm getting old and slow."

Sonyo was thankful when the dangerously intimidating guards left her with Kya, her frame seemed to relax at their departure. She didn't like seeing her friend like this, trapped... somewhat tamed. Like a lion stuck in a cage of responsibilities. With a soft smile, she moved over to Kya to join her, sitting softly in a stool beside the intense woman. She laced her fingers together, looking at them like they could show her all the answers. "Indeed they have... I left for five minutes and everything imploded in my absence.... That seems to happen far too often." She chuckled somewhat bitterly, wondering if it was just coincidence or punishment for all the mistakes she had made. She looked back up at Kya, offering the woman a half-smile. "The Uzukage's office blew up, I'm sad you missed it. You would have been magnificent......"
She looked back at her hands, trailing off, measuring her next words carefully. She was a friend, but friends could still insult. "Nakaya, do you ever feel like you're trapped here?" Feeling Kya's full name come out of her mouth was a strange sensation, like a word you had never used before. "I know... that you love this village and what you have created here, but... " Sonyo stopped herself, pulling her lips in to a line. She was overstepping her boundaries, wasn't she? It wasn't her place to make such assumptions-- Kya was a strong woman, stronger than she. She was not the kind of woman to let herself fall to such a fate. "I'm sorry, that's really not my place to ask is it? Please forgive me." Her eyebrows knitted together, her face a troubled mask.

αHer eyes went wide when Kya heard Sonyo report on the explosion at the office. That much hadn't been mentioned among rogues running loose and a rather large signature of chakra appearing and being locked up tight. Still, the Uchiha didn't allow herself to grow restless. Much like water often did come to rest, or close enough to it, she was fine with controlling the many many serpents and tentacles eminating from the mother's infinitum. And that azure flash in her eyes would be equal parts reassurance and warning to everyone that this tiger could never truly be caged. Never tamed. No the wild was always within her less like a lion and more like a jaguar. None were safe but her cubs, her friends and family.
Let Kanzaki tell it not even them.
"Yes so it would seem. I think Nava is itching to prove herself though, and I've been more than active enough pulling on strings that make the sails move, as it were. You won't be waiting long for the Shinigami to pick up the scythe again, love." She offered a wink, a flirt and promise all the same.
But on to the business at hand. Magatai never could let Kya's focus waver, and in this moment she saw it in Sonyo: something needing unraveling. The question was for her, sure, but insight gave Nakya something of a view into that this was a reflection, or a projection of sorts. Perhaps. Or maybe Sonyo really did see Kya as a collared kitten?
Did it get hotter in the room? Did her... exhaling make the flames rise? No, that would be silly. And besides Kya held a smile as she reached out to take the Evergreen Priestess by her chin, letting her presence be felt, seen and heard all at once as a teacher does her students. "I am not the sort of woman who stays where she feels trapped." Nakya let her chin go but maintained eye contact regardless. "We must always move. That remains true always, even as we set down roots, grow busy with directing the next generation. But stuck? No. I did before. I paid the price in blood and then marched up to Gen- Sanae and fixed it. Don't apologize to me for curiosity, Sonyo. What you need to do is tell me what it is that is troubling you," she asked with her voice softening noticeably. She took the girl's hand and turned it so she could look at the palm, examine it as if there was something to see there besides skin, callous and things you would be hardpressed to believe the Sharingan could pick up on.
"I sense disquiet in you. I always have but it... it seems louder now. You've always been a dear friend, you can trust in that friendship."
A warning in those words to someone like Zahara, Nava or Sanae that she'd be unblocked if something was truly holding her back. Only a warning to the ignorant, who likely wouldn't understand.
How could they.
Delicate and soft, Kya's fingers trailed along her arm, eyes taking in the details, awaiting her friend's words. So wonderfully pale and gracefully smooth. And hiding so much pain.
Nakya could relate.
"Is it the demon?" she asked absently.
