"I've.... also been dealing with career options." Chie said as she scratched the back of her head. The statement certainly was not a lie. It was just a gross understatement of the truth. "I kind of just became the Uzukage, so I guess it's now my job now to help you figure out what to do next." She knew that she didn't want to hide the fact that she was the Uzukage. San hid it from Chie when she was the village leader which caused her to embarrass herself in a way which was almost unsalvageable. Therefore, it was better to be upfront. "From your academy days, I know you're good with a sword. There has to be something else, however, that you find satisfaction from." She said with her arms crossed. Chie had not seen her student in quite a while, and by his own accounts it seemed as though he had been on quite a journey. She did not want to suggest anything for him until he gave her more information which he wanted to work with.

PassiveEffects: _β Korabo S-ranked ___β Able to use Korabo up to A-ranked with herself. _β Electric Resistance Training ___β Negates harm from own lightning ninjutsu _β Ninjutsu Alchemy ___β This technique allows Chie to passively Korabo two jutsu together. The limitations of this are as such. First of all, the technique works passively only up to one rank below Chie's current Korabo level. This means that if Chie's Korabo level is A-ranked then it can only be used at a B-ranked potential, which means that Chie can only Korabo two B-ranked techniques to use the korabo skill at A-ranked. This assures that this benefit does not allow the user to passively perform techniques one rank higher than they can usually. Second of all, this technique only applies when Chie korabo's with herself. If she korabos with an ally or a clone then this benefit is non-applicable. Finally, an additional charge of 10 chakra per rank of the final product technique is required to be paid. So if the user Korabo two B-ranked techniques, (the user must also pay for each individual skill), then the final technique would be an A-ranked skill, and thus would cost 50 more chakra to perform this way. Overall this technique's only purpose is to make Chie more cool by utilizing all of her elements and having them combine into super cool ways like a wizard should. _β Hidden Mist Vision ___β Sees clearly during hidden mist technique, or mist in general. _β Fire Resistance Training ___β Negates harm from own fire ninjutsu _β True Belief ___β The user has meditated and trained long enough in this monk art to understand how important true belief is.

Koutetsu listened, but it still took a few seconds to process the information that was given. Once he realized what was said, his eyes widened slightly as he stood straighter. "My apologies, Uzukage-sama. I was unaware." Koutetsu, said as acknowledged her new position. "I have been working to further develop those skills and supplement them with other training. Though I feel I must admit a few mistakes," He paused briefly, composing his thoughts, "May we speak in your office?"

Chie nodded as the boy asked to speak with her in her office. That was still strange for her to think. She was now the Uzukage. She shook off her anxieties as she made a clone. "Go get Sumiko." She said as the clone departed. Chie sat in her desk as she ushered for Koutestu to take a seat. "So then. How can I help in your pursuit of becoming a better ninja?" Chie asked with her hands folded. She then cleared her throat as four vortex operatives. "One of you gently find Sonyo and have her swing by here. The other three get that Suna vortex squad back here and tell them that I need to assign them a mission." Chie ordered. The four departed as Chie resumed focused on Koutetsu. "Not gonna lie, that is a fun part of the job." She said to her former student.

"Temper temper. Hammer it home." "Temper temper. Hammer it home."
Koutetsu followed the Uzukage into her office. Taking a seat in the chair, he briefly contemplated what he was going to say next. I should start from the beginning. His face briefly brightening at the thought of seeing Sumiko again, before darkening as it brought his thoughts back to Shinsei.
"After my training with Karuto-sensei at the Ninshuu temple, I headed back home upon my return. After a rest, I did some self study in Bukijutsu at the local Dojo. One of the former academy students, the one who had encountered the rogue, Shinsei stopped by. While catching up, he showed me a style he had learned... He also mentioned his status as a Ninja of Uzu was in question. We had a difference in Ideology and I refused to spar with him. I went back home to train, but a thought had occurred to me. I wanted to show him that power is not solely self-reliant and that there was a benefit to trusting allies. I set off for a job at Miyoshi village, earlier than needed. On my way, I experimented with a technique that may have been beyond my skill level. I used Kuchiyose, without a contract. I appeared in an entirely different realm. After exploring the woods, I encountered the rabbit warren. I failed to secure a contract with them, but they were kind enough to send me back."
Koutetsu sighed, running a hand through his messy hair, "In hindsight, I should have informed someone, you, anyone really. I didn't think the risks through. I completed the job and returned. Wanting to work off the frustration, and out of curiousity, I went to the college and made use of their training facilities. It didn't help as much as I thought it would. I..," Koutetsu's muscles clenched as his frustration became more obvious. "I should have just told you, but I put myself at risk and ignored my better judgement." Sinking further into the chair as if his mood had imploded, Koutetsu stared at the floor. Glancing back up at Chie, he said, "I don't know where to go from here." Then fixed his gaze on the desk.
"Forge the weapon worth wielding." "Forge the weapon worth wielding."

Chie felt her heart grow three times when he said that he told Shinsei about how it's the unity of a village which makes one strong. She was in such an extremely good mood that she hand waved away the apology he gave for leaving the village. "Oh please. You're fine." She said. She then lowered her hand as Koutetsu asked what was left for her. "Well, the first thing is that if you plan on going back to the sage lands, you should probably have a few more ninjutsu under your belt for round two." She said with a smile. She stood up and, as she moved away from her desk, she created a clone to sit in her seat. "I heard that the renovations for the ninja college have opened up, so we can train there like the good old days." She said. She had an idea of what purpose to give him after they trained based on the information she gathered from the shadow clone's information that came after it was destroyed at the arena. First, however, she needed to get him in a more combative shape before she suggested her idea to him.

The levity with which Chie approached what Koutetsu felt to be a serious failure on his part, surprised him and alleviated much of his frustration. "Hai. That was a bit of a hamper." As the Uzukage stood, Koutetsu waited until she mentioned training, then he jumped to his feet. "They are wonderful facilities." Koutetsu said, following his Sensei out.

Sonyo made her way back up the steps to the office, this time with more confidence than before, her arms crossed and Nariomi jingling with each step at her waist. Once she got to the top of the steps, she watched as one Chie and a dark-haired male left the office. She pondered for a second whether or not she should follow, but she realized that the newly crowned uzukage probably left a clone in the office. Sonyo sighed softly, then waved to the nice receptionist lady as she made her way in to the office and closed the door behind her. "I feel like hands of power change more quickly than anything else in the world. It's quite dizzying."
Sonyo moved closer to the sitting Chie-clone, then bowed deeply as a form of respect. She had been spoiled in Sunagakure-- she had heard that it wasn't common for one kage to keep the throne for that long, in fact other villages changed hands quite often. Konoha had been the worst of them, appointing several kages and temporary kages... Sonyo straightened up as her train of though faded, giving the woman in front of her a soft smile. "Present as requested, Lady Uzukage."

Chie looked at her palm and thought of a brilliant idea. She placed one hand over the other as she used chakra to mold a seal into the palm of her hand. As she did, the chakra solidified as black tattoos. It was when Sonyo walked into the room that Chie turned her attention toward the girl and away from her hand. Both palms folded into one another as Chie's face became sour. "I don't know. I thought five years was a good record for our taste." Chie said back. San had been the kage of Uzu for as long as there was an Uzu, back during it's formation when Konoha was forced to flee. In Chie's eyes the woman did more than enough to be eternalized as other kages had in the past. Certainly much more so than leaders of the past.
"I'm glad you could make it. I had an interesting guest when soon after I was appointed to kage." She said as she motioned for Sonyo to take a seat. She would begin either when Sonyo sat, or when the girl made clear that she preferred to stand. "I met an absolutely beautiful woman with a dog easily the size of a large bear which talked if you could believe it. And that beautiful woman gave me the contracts for the snake summons in return for one big favor." Chie looked directly at Sonyo to let her know clearly that Sonyo was the only thing Ayame bargained for. At least, by name she was the only one. Chie's eyes then drifted to Sonyo's stomach, where the one tail's seal remained. "As the village leader, I do want to thank you for reigning in that beast and making it not a threat to my home." She said kindly. "However, as the kage, I have a task to do something with you. Ideally I would not want to see you in a combat role, so I figured I would try another venture with you."
Chie's thumbs crossed as she narrowed down her eyes upon the girl. "According to your Suna records, as well as Ayame's testimony, you had a deep and meaningful relation to a Taylor Childe. I was hoping that, in return for the other favor that I have to ask of you, that you would serve as his character witness to justify his initiation as an Uzushiogakure ninja. Because of his rogue background, as well as his alleged severed relations with Kogarashi, I would appreciate the information you have on him for further intel." Chie decided that, while she did have another task for Sonyo, it was better to confront her with the information that related to Taylor Childe. According to both Ayame's report and the sunagakure files Taylor Childe allegedly lived with Sonyo, where Sonyo acted as a foster mother to him. Therefore, if this woman found out that Taylor was around and was being interrogated as a rogue, it may have a consequential reaction upon Sonyo's demon seal. Therefore, in Chie's mind the best route was to directly and bluntly state the affairs of the boy to her.

Sonyo lifted a hand, shaking her head at Chie's souring mood at her initial response. "I meant no harm, Lady Uzukage. Sunagakure was... like a different world. We had one kage for so very long, and that's not always a good thing. Different people mean different views, different ways to grow. I'm just... behind the times. It's my fault, and no one elses-- my confusion that is."
From there, Sonyo grew quiet and listened to Chie as she spoke. She recognized the description of Ayame by Chie's reaction to Daichi's massive size. She remembered when she had first seen the wolf herself, having just come in to Sunagakure seeking asylum from the UHV. The larger-than-life canine had scared her at first, that is in till she learned that Daichi was just a big ol' teddy bear who love his family. Her eyes widened slightly as Chie spoke of a bargain, and her gaze falling upon Sonyo meant that Ayame had bargained for her. Even still, the young woman was constantly surprised by the depths of which Ayame cared for her... as if she was her own daughter almost. She closed her eyes for a moment, swallowing the lump rising in her throat.
She couldn't help but think of her and Ayame hugging over the collective loss of Theodin, her son. They had grown close over losing those who meant the most to them... it was insane how close people became over that.
Sonyo reopened her eyes when Chie mentioned Taylor, her heart stopping in her chest. Her eyes narrowed a little, not in malice but to think. Taylor was here? Being prosecuted as a rouge? Was this her fault? What depths had Taylor sunk to after she left him all alone after the loss of Nari? What had she done? The room tilted a little as her thoughts spun out of control, and the Hyouton user's skin flushed as if she might faint. Sonyo's hands gripped in to fists as she tried to calm herself; she couldn't freak out here, not in front of the Uzukage.
"Calm child..." Shukaku's voice reverberated in her head, causing her to close her eyes and take a deep breath. Shu was right, she needed to calm down. She could fix this... she could.
She just wasn't sure she could ever face Taylor again with how she ruined him, how she abandoned him....
'I'm a horrible mother....' She thought.
Sonyo released her nail's grip on her palms, leaving crescent moons where they dug in to flesh and opened her eyes again to look at Chie. She regained some of her composure-- and color, before speaking again. "My knowledge is yours, Chie-san. What would you like to know? I only know Taylor's life in Sunagakure. Like me, he came from elsewhere seeking asylum in the Sand."

Chie's eyes widened when the color in Sonyo's face was drained. She then focused herself once more. She recognized that display of emotion. The reports were 100% accurate; Sonyo, at least in her mind, was the mother of Taylor Childe. "I have his records about his Sunagakure citizenship. Whoever was in charge of academy records in Suna clearly was not good at their job, because there's no indication of where the boy came from before he appeared at your academy." She sighed. She couldn't expect everywhere to be as detail orientated as she was. Chie did take a deep breath before she pondered her next question. "I have just one question about him. If he is made a ninja of Uzushiogakure, will he be a threat to my villagers? Rogues are like parasites to me. Their selfish nature causes them to leech off of others until they get what they need, and then they become the monsters which villagers are then sworn to face against. If Taylor is like this then I need to know." Chie wanted to give Sonyo the time she needed to answer her question honestly. Sonyo's love was apparent, and it would undoubtedly cause her to want to say that Taylor was a good kid. However, if Taylor was what Chie assumed him to be, and he's allowed to infiltrate the village, then she'll have no choice but see him dead. If Sonyo gives her fair warning now, then she can exile him instead. "After you answer, I have a personal favor of you away from this topic." She said politely.

PassiveEffects: _β Korabo S-ranked ___β Able to use Korabo up to A-ranked with herself. _β Electric Resistance Training ___β Negates harm from own lightning ninjutsu _β Ninjutsu Alchemy ___β This technique allows Chie to passively Korabo two jutsu together. The limitations of this are as such. First of all, the technique works passively only up to one rank below Chie's current Korabo level. This means that if Chie's Korabo level is A-ranked then it can only be used at a B-ranked potential, which means that Chie can only Korabo two B-ranked techniques to use the korabo skill at A-ranked. This assures that this benefit does not allow the user to passively perform techniques one rank higher than they can usually. Second of all, this technique only applies when Chie korabo's with herself. If she korabos with an ally or a clone then this benefit is non-applicable. Finally, an additional charge of 10 chakra per rank of the final product technique is required to be paid. So if the user Korabo two B-ranked techniques, (the user must also pay for each individual skill), then the final technique would be an A-ranked skill, and thus would cost 50 more chakra to perform this way. Overall this technique's only purpose is to make Chie more cool by utilizing all of her elements and having them combine into super cool ways like a wizard should. _β Hidden Mist Vision ___β Sees clearly during hidden mist technique, or mist in general. _β Fire Resistance Training ___β Negates harm from own fire ninjutsu _β True Belief ___β The user has meditated and trained long enough in this monk art to understand how important true belief is.

Due to the greater understanding of the self, the user is more aware of the connection between their mind, body and spirit, and how to utilize that connection. The user is now slightly more skilled at just about everything. Striking, blocking, moving, absorbing, and taking damage. The user's strength and fortitude is increased heavily. _β Impact Resistance ___β The user acclimates to using the cestus in a battle setting by pounding away at a training dummy with the cestus.

In so doing, they become innately aware of when they are being observed in combat, and can pinpoint the locations of anyone below their rank observing them within one meter. _β Thread Walking ___β By using Chakra to focus the mind, the user becomes able to balance enough on thin platforms to use Bukijutsu techniques without any penalties.

Sonyo looked down, taking a second to think about what she said before she opened her mouth. After a few moments of contemplation, Sonyo started slowly. "I... would love to think that Taylor is the same sweet boy I knew. The Taylor I knew before I... left... him... He would do anything for the people around him." She didn't look up at Chie, she didn't meet her eyes. She couldn't stand the look on her face, for the Kage was the biggest mother of them all, and there was nothing more another mother looked down more on than someone abandoning their children.
"I... do not know what Taylor has done in our time apart. I was in a bad way, and I didn't know how to cope. If anything, his current path might... be... my fault." The words pained her to admit, but she had to be honest to this woman. "But if I were to see him, to talk to him... I might be able to tell what exactly he's become. No one knows a child better than their mother, right?" Sonyo's expression was pained, ashamed, guilty.

Chie's heart bled too much for her. She reached across her table and held the girl's hands into her own. "You will have your chance to talk to him. We do not destroy families in Uzushiogakure." She said solemnly. The raw display of emotion was able to ignite a strong bond of empathy within Chie. She would honor her words and give the girl a chance to reason where her son was. After she finished speaking Chie retreated her arms and sat back in her seat. "Now, I do have a legitimate mission for you." Chie said softly. "I recognize that you are not a ninja of my village, but since you are staying here, I do expect to put you to work." She said with a smile. "Your religion is different than what Lady Kya teaches, correct? You believe in nature or something?" Chie had read Sonyo's report, but the religion itself wasn't explicitly clear to her. Too much of the woman's paperwork was about the demon sealed within her, or the incident regarding the seven tailed demon and its influence. Not enough was taught about Sonyo's religion, and that's why Chie brought her in to her office.

The jinchuriki was surprised by the kage's empathy, in fact... it reminded her of Ayame almost. Sonyo took in a deep breath, steadying herself, and nodded in response to Chie's question. "Ah... Yes, it's called Evergreen." Sonyo tugged at her sleeves a little, thinking the best way to describe what this religion was, what it meant to her.... "Evergreen is... based that everything is innately connected through nature. Nature has this energy, and it can go by many things... most just call it chakra, and it flows through all of us, connecting us back to where we eventually return... To Mother Nature, to the earth. No matter who you are, where you came from, what you do or don't do... you always return to her." Sonyo smiled softly, looking outside of the windows to the expanse of hills and spires and nature that made Uzu.. well uzu.
"We are all her children, you know? From the smallest mouse to the biggest tailed beast... and she is impartial and loving all at the same time, to all of us. We are all equal. It's..." She stopped for a second, thinking, her face scrunching up. "It's a hard mentality to get a hold of. Thinking that the tree that grows outside your house has the same rights as you, a human being. Or that... your biggest enemy has them too." She smiled awkwardly. "All things equal, you know? In the end we all return to the dirt. And us, the few evergreen that remain, must do everything in our power to protect those who can't protect themselves, because they deserve to be alive just as much as we do. The trees, the animals, the young."

Chie listened, but she did not understand. A tree did not have the same rights as she did because a tree does not need the same rights. What use would a tree have for free speech or freedom of self-incrimination? Most of Sonyo's religion was lost on her. However, by the passion Sonyo expressed, it was clear that she was devout to her religion. That was what Chie was looking for. "Well, while I will try to unpack that statement later, your religious influence is actually why I could use your services. Religion is typically a force which can bring people together. And right now, I need Uzushiogakure united stronger than ever if I have any hope of making my plans work. Therefore, I request of you to find at least three people in the village and spread your religion to them. Consider it a mission to spread the word of your religion so that at least three people understand it and could foresee adhering to it. Consider it an additional mission if you manage to convert someone to your religion. I doubt they'll be any initial converts, but it would certainly be exciting if we had immediate results." Chie took a moment to pause. "For the record, I have no intention of weaponizing your religion." She said plainly. "It's more that, I think the village has been too individualized. We're a community because we're all in the same village, but we need things to unite us. And I think religion is a good first step." Chie knew that religion was a big theme within Sunagakure and most of the ninjas which transferred over. She had hoped to use Sonyo's religion, since so far the other two options seemed less likely to yield results.

Sonyo placed her chin in her hand, thinking, looking downwards as she did so. Chie wanted her to talk to people about Evergreen, possibly even convert them? It was hard for people to grasp Evergreen, let alone to want to openly worship it due to the actions of extremist sects that existed some time ago. Would anyone listen to her here? She knew Kya's religion existed, worshipping an ancient snake god-- it was almost as hard to convert religious people as it was non-religious people. How many people in Uzugakure believed in Nagakaborous? How many people believed that there was no way for a greater power to exist with all that's happened?
Sonyo seemed to steel herself, then nodded. "As you wish, Lady Uzukage. I do have to say-- however --that it might not be that easy. Perhaps I could talk to the younger ones, but older people will remember the extremist sects of Evergreen and would probably want nothing to do with it. I will try to the best of my ability, however. You have my word." With that Sonyo stood and bowed once more to Chie, "Wish me luck." She said before she turned around and left the office, trying to think how the hell she would spread her word...
