In the outskirts of the Hidden Mist village lies a shrine, a dojo as some would call it, housing the former Mizukage Zane Hajime and his wife Outou Kuranma. The massive gates are too big and too heavy for anyone under chuunin rank to push through. Upon entering through the gates, you reach the entrance to the dojo. It is here that most training is done. Exquisitly large, one can find themselves standing upon patted mats facing dozens of exotic weapons holstered upon the walls. To the left of the dojo, one can enter the kitchen, and the dining room. The kitchen is rather large and the dining room consists of a single table that seats eight people.
To the right of the dojo, one finds the living quarters and two bathrooms. Dojo itself has six rooms, two are for Zane and Outou respectively even though they share the same room. Another is designated for Zane's little brother Axel. Exiting through the back of the dojo, one finds themselves in front of Serenity Pond. A rather large pond the size of the dojo grounds, Zane sometimes trains in the back or has his tea. The entire pond is surrounded by blooming and beautiful Cherry Blossoms, as well as several rock formations.

"Nothing is true...everything is permitted."
"Niente è. .everything allineare è consentito." || Zane Hajime || Retired Shinobi ||  XXXXXX"A peaceful day..." a voice resonated within the dojo as the door to the back was open. Sitting down on the back porch, Zane Hajime adjusted his glasses and began drinking his tea. Taking a deep breath, Zane took a second to admire the beauty of the Cherry Blossoms, its petals falling gracefully into the pond casting ripples within the water. For all intents and purposes, he seemed like a normal civilian. He carried no weapons in his person, nor anything that would say he was a shinobi. Even the glasses that were on him, they weren't necessary, they were simply for show. No one would ever guess that Zane was the former Mizukage just by looking at him.
The past few years, life has changed him indeed. Zane used to be a cold blooded assassin, an ambitious leader who wanted nothing more than to take over the hidden villages and destroy them all. He had even made a deal with the Akatsuki, giving them Mist's aid in order to achieve his goal. However, that led to his downfall. Despite his nature, Zane still cared deeply for the Mist Village. When Akatsuki betrayed him and destroyed Mist, he was never the same after that. To this day, Zane still blames himself for the destruction that occured. Even after the war, he removed himself from the post of Mizukage, away from the temptation, from the ways of the shinobi. Since going into retirement, Zane had yet to even wield a weapon, not wishing to touch it as it were to stain his very soul. Even his bloodline abilities had gone unused. He was too afraid to speak with the ghosts that are scattered throughout the Mist Village, telling tales of his failure to protect the Mist and condeming them to death. Zane was happy with his life of retirement, his life of self exile from the shinobi world. As he drank his tea alone, he only wondered, and hoped that the new Mizukage, despite being a shinobi originally from Sand, would do his best to protect his people. ||I am the ghost of the mist. || "My village, my shinobi, all those are important. Only enter if you wish to die by my blade!"
"Il mio villaggio, il mio shinobi, tutto quelli è importante. Entri soltanto se desiderate morire dalla mia lamierina!"

 Sosay Rose Uchiha▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Kirigakure |~| Genin |~| SharinganIt was almost too quiet at the dojo, but it surely wasn't going to stay that way for long. Knowing fully that Zane was in his home, the girl managed to get up on the roof of the dojo, not making a noise. Her steps were quiet, so she hoped as she crept along, making her way towards the resting male. It had been a long boring day and she had been sitting around all cooped up with so much energy to spill. What better way to spill it then to perform a surprise attack upon her sensei. Reaching the edge, she stopped her movements,sneaking a small peek to make sure he was below her. "I've got you now sensei." she whispered to herself as she reached for her katana. Pulling it out she stood there for a couple of seconds before leaping forwards, off the roof. She twisted her body around in the air, her long black hair flowing gracefully around her body as she landed on the ground, both hands upon her katana which she held out in front of her. She held a smug smirk upon her face as she brought a foot up to move forward. "I've got yo....." she started to yell as she fell forward. Sosay had accidentally landed on her own hair and in moving forward tripped on it. The girl had fallen flat on her face at the man's feet. She said no word but instead remained where she was embarrassed as to what had just happened. For now she was just waiting for his reaction. Laughing was the first thing she expected to hear. 25/25

"Nothing is true...everything is permitted."
"Niente è. .everything allineare è consentito." || Zane Hajime || Retired Shinobi || XXXXXXZane was still sipping on his when Sosay was sneaking upon the rooftops. He was amused by her attempts to sneak by him, having sensed her prescense when she had entered his domain. As she had fallen down flat on her face at his feet, Zane merely sipped on his tea once more. Tea had become his new addiction, having quit drinking sake and alchohol completely due to the effects it had on him. Whenever he had drank, he drank a lot, becoming a useless and vulgar drunk. Having hurt the people he loved during his drunken states, Zane had forsaken it completely and stuck with the marvelous tea his wife now made for him. "Still have a lot to learn Sosay," he stated simply.
Sosay was his brother's girlfriend and a student of his. Zane had taken Sosay several years ago as his student, having taught her how to properly wield her sharingan as well as her fire jutsu. During this time, Axel had developed a crush on her and had finally asked her to be his girlfriend. Ever since then, Sosay was welcomed into his home at anytime, Zane helping her out whenever she needed it and practically saw her as his little sister. He would kill to protect her, just as he would for Axel and Cherry. "So did you come here cause you needed to speak with me, or did you come here to embarass yourself further?" Zane asked, he wasn't smiling, nor laughing at this comment, but Sosay had known him long enough that this was his way of joking around. After finishing half of his tea, Zane now opened his eyes and looked over at the kunoichi, a look of curiosity in his eyes wondering what it was that she wanted. ||I am the ghost of the mist. || "My village, my shinobi, all those are important. Only enter if you wish to die by my blade!"
"Il mio villaggio, il mio shinobi, tutto quelli è importante. Entri soltanto se desiderate morire dalla mia lamierina!"

Sosay Rose Uchiha▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Kirigakure |~| Genin |~| SharinganSighing, she pushed herself up and off the ground, ending up in a sitting with her legs crossed, her eyes fixed upon Zane. Her cheeks were puffed out as she turned her head away from the man. "I will get you one of these days Zane-sensei." she grumbled. She then remained silent for a few moments before turning to look back at Zane her normal bubbly smile. Of course she loved this man like a older brother, even though she was his student and currently dating his younger brother. "I am here because I've been sitting around all day and need to let all of my energy out! I couldn't find Axel-kun anywhere's so the only other person I could think of to visit was you!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms up at the mention of his name. Being twenty wasn't going to stop her from acting like a child. Heck if she didn't act that way then where would the cheery atmosphere come from. They were in Mist and it was known for it's blood lust, and come on, there had to be the one odd ball within the village that stood out from the rest. Sosay just happened to be that odd ball. Nobody seemed to have a problem with it therefore she wasn't going to change anytime soon.25/25

"Nothing is true...everything is permitted."
"Niente è. .everything allineare è consentito." || Zane Hajime || Retired Shinobi || XXXXXX"Oh Sosay," Zane sighed upon seeing her bubbly attitude. Its good to know that even now there was someone with such a postive attitude. "I look forward to the day when you do get me...it'll be a sign that you have surpassed me. Then again, as I am now..." he began, stopping short before taking a sip of his tea. Even now his skills as a shinobi have deteriorated. Having not picked up even a kunai in years, Zane's ability as an assassin were no longer the best in Kirigakure. In fact, even the current Mizukage could probably defeat Zane in his state of weakness. "So you've just been sitting around all day? Have you spoken to the Mizukage yet? Maybe he could have something for you to do?" he told her. "Speaking of which, how's your training coming along?" ||I am the ghost of the mist. || "My village, my shinobi, all those are important. Only enter if you wish to die by my blade!"

Sosay Rose Uchiha▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Kirigakure |~| Genin |~| Sharingan"Getting old?!" she taunted, finishing his sentence for him. Of course she held a smirk upon her face as she teased with the man. She loved to make fun of him, especially in the past few years, seeing how he basically gave up his bloody past for this calm one. She giggled at her own little comment, trying to act as innocent as possible in front of the man. She then shook her head, her hair going back an forth with each movement she made. "I could go and speak with the Mizukage but I really don't want to. I miss you being the kage, and I haven't been to that office in a long time. I've grown adapt to your old dark ways. Axel sometimes uses them. As for training. I am basically at a halt until I become a chuunin." she replied, her expression fading a little. It was a bit of a disappointment to her, being twenty and still a darn genin. It wasn't something she liked to admit to people, therefore kept it to herself. 25/25

"Nothing is true...everything is permitted."
"Niente è. .everything allineare è consentito." || Zane Hajime || Retired Shinobi || XXXXXX"I am not suited for the position of Mizukage, we've both seen what happened when I have power. Its better I guess, a shinobi from a foreign village might just be what the Mist needs to get back on track. But if you do not wish to speak with him, I won't force you too. How about some tea then?" Zane asked her, finishing his cup and setting it down softly next to him as he looked at the falling blooms of the cherry blossoms. "You will be chuunin soon enough. Remember that despite your rank, I know you can match even some of the hunter nins that I once knew. You are my student after all, and I believe I have taught you well." ||I am the ghost of the mist. || "My village, my shinobi, all those are important. Only enter if you wish to die by my blade!"

Sosay Rose Uchiha▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Kirigakure |~| Genin |~| Sharingan"I would love to have a cup of tea with you sensei!" she replied, her voice soft and gentle as she stood up. Brushing the dirt off the front of her she moved forward and sat down beside Zane, her feet just hitting the ground. From where she sat, her long black hair had fallen past her feet and was sitting upon the ground. Many had attempted to get her to cut it but it was the only thing she took pride in, it was the one thing, other then an old kimono, that reminded her of her mother. The only person that cared for her when growing up. Zane was right though when he said that she could take on most despite her being a genin. "That and putting up with Axel all the time makes me stronger. He is a gentleman yet he has his teasing times." she laughed her eyes falling upon the falling blossoms. They fell so gracefully and without a care in the world. How she wished she could be like that. 25/25

"Nothing is true...everything is permitted."
"Niente è. .everything allineare è consentito." || Zane Hajime || Retired Shinobi || XXXXXX"I'll be right back then," Zane said as he stood up and walked inside the dojo. From this point he took a right and into the kitchen where the pot of water was already boiling. Taking the pot, Zane poured two cups and set them on small plates. After this he placed the tea bags in the water and began walking outside. He wasn't as good at making tea as his wife was, if he was dealing with sake he knew very well how to pour proper sake, but when it came to tea, it was averagish at best. Walking back outside, Zane sat down next to Sosay and handed the plate with the cup over to her. "This is some Green tea...its not as good as Outou's but hey, it should do," Zane stated simply as he adjusted the glasses on his face.
"Yeah, Axel is a bit of a handful isn't he. Listen Sosay, I need to ask a favor of you..." Zane began as he took another sip. "Axel might not be adjusting to the new changes as well as you and I have been taking them. He's still taking it hard knowing his role in the village attacks, having contributed to it and the destruction of this village. Not to mention the fact that he's not liking the fact that I am no longer the kage. I just need you to be there for him, understand what he's going through. How do I know all this?" Zane said as he took a pause and took a sip of his tea. "Well, I can feel his emotions. Whenever he's around me I can feel them, its always been a weakness of mine that I succumb to the emotions of others. That's really what I wanted to say to you," Zane finished as his expression was unchanging even as he spoke of his brother. ||I am the ghost of the mist. || "My village, my shinobi, all those are important. Only enter if you wish to die by my blade!"
"Il mio villaggio, il mio shinobi, tutto quelli è importante. Entri soltanto se desiderate morire dalla mia lamierina!"

Sosay Rose Uchiha▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Kirigakure |~| Genin |~| SharinganSosay sat quietly for the first time as Zane went and prepared them some tea. Her eyes remained fixed upon the cherry blossoms as they fell to the pond below. She could remember the days she had spent as a young child, trying to catch the koi fish during a sunny summer day. Her and Kaizen. Of course their mother flew ugly when she found out but that never lasted long. The two loved to spend their afternoons under the large cherry blossom tree that had been there for years. Her train of thought was lost when Zane returned and handed her the cup of tea. To which she accepted and sipped on it. She chuckled at his comment on how Cherry's was better then his, which didn't really mean much to Sosay. Tea was tea. Then the subject focused upon Axel. "He puts on a smile when around me. I know something's bothering him yet he is too darn stubborn to actually talk to me about anything. I promise you Zane-sensei that I am trying my HARDEST to get him acting like he used too but it's really hard. So I be my normal self and bare with it." she replied, not sure if what she spoke of helped any. She knew Zane and Axel were close and she would do whatever it took to keep them both happy.25/25

"Nothing is true...everything is permitted."
"Niente è. .everything allineare è consentito." || Zane Hajime || Retired Shinobi || XXXXXX"That's good to hear Sosay," Zane told her as he placed his hand on her shoulder gently. It was a sign of his trust towards her, something that not many had gained in Zane's life. "Speaking of Axel...do you happen to know how he managed to gain his extrasensory abilities?" Zane asked, wondering if Axel had told her of his past. Maybe if Sosay knew she would be able to understand him just a little better. ||I am the ghost of the mist. || "My village, my shinobi, all those are important.

Sosay Rose Uchiha▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Kirigakure |~| Genin |~| SharinganShe was about to take another sip from her tea when Zane placed a hand upon her shoulder. She stopped herself and lifted her head, eyes meeting his as he asked her another question. Although this one was different. He was asking if she had ever heard about Axel's reasoning for the abilities he had. She had always loved the fact that when with him, it was easy to pick people out, yet she hated the fact, like his older brother, that he was basically impossible to sneak up on. With Zane she at least stood a little chance, but with Axel he could easily pick her out of a crowd, village even. "No. In all the time I've been with him, I have never heard him tell me why he's got that ability. He's said a little about his past, never enough for me to fully understand. Just bits and pieces." she replied, a curious expression on her face.25/25

"Nothing is true...everything is permitted."
"Niente è. .everything allineare è consentito." || Zane Hajime || Retired Shinobi || XXXXXX"When I was little, through Ezio's help I managed to kill a rather strong rogue shinobi," Zane began his story. "I did it in order to give Ezio his final peace, but in the end he became my ghost partner. The Mizukage saw my power and abilities and made me into a hunter nin. Unbeknownst to me however, the Mizukage took my little brother, believing that he had the same abilities as I did. Axel went through many experimentations, becoming the Mizukage's lab rat to understand my bloodline. He believed that through my bloodline the Mizukage could raise an army of spectral shinobis in order to decimate opposing villages. However, the expirmentations went awry, and Axel's DNA was completely altered, giving birth to his extra sensory abilities," he continued, a tone of remose and sadness for not knowing about his brother's predicament and not able to save him from it. "So for years, Axel was maintained within the bowels of the Mizukage Tower, used for further tests due to his ability to heal himself faster than the normal shinobi. Once I surfaced and a new Mizukage was elected, I broke him free, but by then he was a changed man. Regardless of his past however, Axel has always kept a rather carefree attitude, which is something that I love about him. Unlike me who has clung to the darkness of my past, he had put it past him...so that's his story," Zane finished, just as he finished his tea.

 Dяeamɪƞg, I'll be your Nɪghƚmaяe,xxxx˪ ˲ Petals on the Wind // Life's Perfect 'M E T A P H O R'
࿇ Outou Hajime, a retired Chuunin and wife to Zane Hajime, the pink-eyed woman was just returning from her errand of grocery shopping, a brown paper bag and a bouquet of freshly cut lilies held in one arm as evidence. Opening the large gates with a skill and strength formed from years of experience Outou entered silently, still practicing her stealth out of habit and training to be graceful when she was being groomed to take over as the head of a clan. Her hair was braided and longer than was in her fighting years as a kunoichi, her retired status affording her more time to self grooming and taking on the proper appearance of a wife and woman. Closing the gate behind her, she walked up into the building, leaving her shoes behind at the entryway before stepping in. Heading to the kitchen to put away the groceries after placing the flowers in a glass vase. Outou was heading to Zane's room when she heard talking, pausing and tilting her head to the side, recognising her husband's voice. Vase still in hand, she walked towards the sounds, hearing the last of Zane's words.
"If it wasn't for your darkness, we never would have wed." Outou walked out to where Zane and Sosay were seated. "Or have you forgotten what you did to me when we first met?" She spoke, referring to the genjutsu that had been inflicted on her by her husband in the office of the then Mizukage. To the Hajime wife, it meant far more to her than knowing how her target died. She turned to Sosay, face as calm and blank as ever, still rare to smile even after her years of marriage. The pink-eyed woman still believed, after all of her young years of smiling without cause, that a smile was only for when it was truly deserved. That and, with Zane, she never had to concern herself with showing any physical representation of emotion. "Sosay." Outou greeted, as she did to everyone, before turning back to her husband. "Were you telling something you perhaps shouldn't." Outou queried, voice neutral, one arm cradling the vase of lilies carefully, the free hand holding up the stems to ensure they aren't fumbled and damaged. She had heard Zane say 'that's his story', and knew that, if Zane had told her history to anyone, even to her own offspring, she wouldn't be pleased. Outou's history wasn't any cleaner than her husband's, but she wouldn't have anything different.
