An ethereal spectre merged out of nothingness with the reality around Yuj and Maqui, however only Yuj who possessed his father's bloodline would be able to see it appear out of thin air. The energy took shape and form of a man clad in an assassin's cloak, hovering over the two of them as he folded his arms across his chest. "Yuj...you're the only one able to see me at this moment much less hear me. Your father...he's trying to become the assassin he once was. Forgive his actions, it is complicated. However, I am here on his behalf, though he does't know that I am here I am acting on the family's best interest. Yuj it is time to awaken your sleeping bloodline. The only way to do that however is to bind a ghost to you just like your father binded me to him," explained Ezio. "I know of a ghost of a former assassin before my time, one whose power rivaled my own. What say you and I go to him, find him and let you attain his power?" the ghost asked as he maintained his position above the two.

"Its alright," Maqui said as he patted Yuj gently on his back, a slight smile etched from his face as he looked upon his brother. Despite his opinion of his brother and his thoughts on his lifestyle, Maqui would be utterly lost without him. "I was reading a book recently in father's library about summons and the many different creatures that could be used to come to your aid. Mother has made a contract with some of these creatures. I wanted to ask her about them and see what I'll learn from her. Besides Yuj, to be honest I don't quite trust the Mizukage. I don't know if he truly has Kiri's best interest at heart or if he's planning to use this as a territory of Sunagakure. At least that's what I've analyzed from him," Maqui spoke, his voice soft as he looked through the window at a flying eagle soaring through the skies. "Speaking of which, where is father at?" he asked him. He was probably sipping tea somewhere in the village like usual. Maqui didn't have much respect for his father like Yuj did, often times calling him a fool.

 Yuj Hajime Yuj was waiting for his brother and suddenly a familiar image showed in front of him. It was Ezio, his father's spectral ghost and partner. He spoke about Yuj's own awakening and about finding an 'old friend' of Ezio's as his ghost. He looked at Maqui. He had left without him before that day and another time would be too much. But he knew that his brother would understand him. He spoke in a fairly serious tone to Maqui."I'll be going off for a small journey. Sorry for leaving you like that. I'll return and we can then get you a squad, alright?" He told his brother before turning to the gates again. He looked up at Ezio and spoke again."Lead the way."Out Of Character : Jutsu Name : /

Ezio nodded as he past the gates and wandered down the streets. "Follow me young Hajime," he told him as he wandered through the streets, now heading towards the graveyard of Kirigakure. Flying fast, he looked behind him to ensure that the young one was following.

"And there he goes again...he has to suffer from ADHD," Maqui sighed as he walked over to the kitchen, passing through the threshold. His eyes widened however upon seeing his mother. She seemed worried and stressed, her hand pressed against her forehead as if she was suffering from a migraine. Maqui took a step closer to his mother, wondering if she was alright. "Mother? Is everything alright?" Maqui asked, his face showing worried emotions.Clearly his mother was troubled, but of what. Could it have been the Mizukage? Had he upset his mother?

࿇ A few seconds passed before pink eyes opened and the older woman turned to face her eldest son, face showing nothing to the ordinary eye - so it appeared she was impassive. But there was a tightness to her features, something only someone who was used to her subtle change of faces or an individual with sharp eyes would notice. Outou regarded Maqui briefly before speaking. "No." She spoke, learning there was no point in lying in a household like theirs. "I feel like things are not. Your father has been absent all day. I am not used to it." Outou gave a small shake of her head. "It will be dinner time not long from now. If you don't feel like staying indoors any longer, perhaps you could go out looking for everyone. Axel said he would be joining, so perhaps Sosay should be invited along as well." Outou spoke, looking out the window by this point. It would be a few hours before dinner is routinely set out, which means Outou will need to start preparing food now - dinner for six is something she was accustomed to, but it meant a longer time to prepare and cook everything. Nothing she and an industrial-sized oven couldn't handle.

"He's probably out somewhere in the town eating or something," Maqui muttered in an annoyed tone as he folded his arms across his chest. Walking closer to his mother to now be at her side, Maqui pulled a book from his pack and set it on the counter. "I'm fine with staying with you mother, besides, I have several questions to ask of you, if you would please answer," he continued as he opened to page 158. "I was reading this book in father's library and found this entry. It talks about summon creatures, how a shinobi signs a contract with mythical beasts and summons them for battle and to complete ninja missions. I was wondering if you knew any more about them, they seem rather peculiar. I'm curious about them and would like to explore them further," Maqui finished as his eyes rapidly moved from line to line as he continued re-reading the pages over and over again.

࿇ Outou watched, muscles relaxing slightly now that she was distracted by her son's dedication to wanting to learn more, watching him re-read the passage he had just described to her. "Yes. I know something of summons." She replied, waiting for an actual question from Maqui.

"Well, I was wondering what does it take to sign a contract with them? Where do you find them? What kind of creatures are there? The reason why I'm asking is because I would very much like to sign a contract with them. Being one who has an affinity to genjutsu, sometimes it takes time for my techniques to activate. However if I have an ability like this, I won't need to worry about being on guard," Maqui explained. It seems that Yuj and himself are spending less and less time together, and who knows...they might not end up in the same squad together. Maqui couldn't rely on Yuj as much as he wanted to, as much as he was used to. He'd have to rely on his own strength in order to survive.

࿇ Outou bowed her head slightly in understanding. "I understand." She waved a hand gently in the direction of the kitchen chairs and small table before walking over and sitting down herself. "I held a summoning contract when I was younger. To obtain them, you either had to seek out the holder or obtain the contract from the summons themselves. I was lucky - I did not have to travel to the Summon Islands to obtain a contract from the creatures, there was one in our family already. The one we had was Spiders - deadly creatures, and not all of them cooperative. You had to prove yourself to every single one, and even then it was not good to let them get bored while in your presence. Another creature of summons that I am aware of is Slugs. However, the details of which elude me, as does the information on any other contract." Outou made sure to answer all of her son's questions, voice clear, clipped, and precise. "There would be records of summoners in the archives. However, I doubt you would gain access to certain information, such as contract holders, or current holders. You should ask your father on what creatures there are - he has traveled further than I ever could. He would have heard or even encountered such individuals like myself."

"I see..." he paused as he walked to the table and sat across from his mother. His fingers tapped upon the table, his mind racing as he thought of the possibilities in his head. He was going to have to find his father in order to find out more about the summons, but where his father was at he did not know. Maybe his uncle knew as well, but he should be at the hospital right about now. "From what you've told me, I'm going to have to travel to the summoning lands in order to attain a contract. When I find out their location...do you think it would be possible for you to take me there mother? I don't think I can make that journey on my own and I can't think of anyone else I'd like to travel with," Maqui said to her, expreessing his desire to journey with his mother rather than his father. First however he was going to have to find out how far was the summoning lands, then he'll plan out the trip.

࿇ Outou blinked, mind snapping into gear when Maqui asked her to take him to the islands, revealing that he would rather her than anyone else. After a second of thought - strategies, scenarios, Maqui's relations with the rest of his family - she nodded, pink eyes steady. "You will need to train for it, Maqui. Not just for the travel, but for when you greet the summons. You should also go seek out as much information about each summon as you can - learn which will suit your needs and mentality. The creatures will test you, so do each task well." Outou warned her son, recalling her own first encounter with the summons.

"You are right mother, as I am now I won't stand a ghost of a chance," Maqui said as he stood upright, staring deep into his mother's eyes with a look of fierce determination. "Mother, I know that you are no longer a ninja and that you have retired. I know your reasonings of not wanting to go back to that life, but I need you. Would you rather have my training come from some half-assed teacher, or would you rather have my training come from someone prodigious? Someone who actually knows what they're doing, one who is talented? I ask of you, please train me in the ways of the ninja mother, I don't have anyone else to turn to. Uncle Axel is nowhere to be found, Yuj has left me to go do some training of his own, and father..." he stopped suddenly. He wanted to say something about how worthless his father was to him but chose to refrain from it. "Please mother!" Maqui begged as he slammed his hands upon the table and bowed his head.

࿇ Outou looked back into her son's eyes, watchful, investigative, and calm. Such emotion from something of her loins - it was definitely Zane's blood acting up in Maqui there. The mother of two thought, for long seconds she thought, mind whirling quickly. Perhaps faster than it had needed to in years. Outou stood, mind made up. "I will push you to your limits. Hurt you until you are quick. And I will break all habits out of you. You have begged and I will not ask you to rethink your words. To regret my tutelage over you will be yet another lesson to your mind. I have never taken a student before, Maqui." Outou warned before turning her back to her son - her student, and walked out of the kitchen. She headed for the front entrance and slipped on her sandals before opening and then closing the door behind her, walking to the gate, and heaving the large entrance open and then closed before finally making her way to the Kage's office.
