Belamos would let Sandayu go- there was no point in trying to stop him. 'He'll be back' He thought to himself. The more he learned, the more he saw, the more Belamos became interested in the boy. In him he saw a possible successor- someone worthy of the mantle at the very least. But, for now, all he saw was a whiney child. Once Sandayu left Belamos would hop down from Son Goku and take the next elevator back up. Walking through the hallways he found Kaida and his clone just as she received the peace of paper. The real Belamos walked over and let the clone disappear; he took in the string of memories that accompanied it and nodded in affirmation to its decision "Hold on Kaida I want to give you something" He would place his hands on the table. Upon doing so a small puff of smoke appeared and upon dissipating revealed a tiny lizard.
The gecko looked from Belamos to Kaida, blinked twice and opened its moth "Hello there little miss!" It said.
Belamos would gesture to the creature "This is Gimani- a friend of mine. Take him with you. If you need any help, he can offer advice. Contrary to his size he knows a heck of a lot. Be careful Kaida" After seeing her off Belamos would head out himself, having his own things to attend to
__ Kagami entered the Institute and headed to the library for training scrolls. She knew that Belamos expected a report from her, but she needed to train and clear her head a bit. She retrieved the scrolls she needed from the library for genjutsu and suiton. Then she walked into the training yard. Once she stepped into the private battle arena space she unraveled the genjutsu scroll to begin.
Genjutsu was her art and area of expertise. She knew that just by reading a genjutsu technique that she would be able to perform it instantly. She read the descriptions of fifteen different illusions. These were genjutsu that she was not familiar with. After reading the description of all the techniques she knew that she had mastered them.
LEARNED: Kotoba no Omomi [ Weighted Words ] S+ Seiha no Koe [ Voice of Domination ] S+ Magen: Tentan no Gongen [ Demonic Illusion: Avatar of Apathy ] S+ Magen: Katsu no Gongen [ Demonic Illusion: Avatar of Thirst ] S+ Magen: Jifu no Gongen [ Demonic Illusion: Avatar of Conceit ] S+ Magen: Gekijou no Gongen [ Demonic Illusion: Avatar of Fury ] S+ Muhen Ishi no Jutsu [ Infinite Stone Technique ] S+ Kyoufu no Koe [ Voice of Terror ] S Niji Genkaku [ Rainbow Illusion ] S Genkaku no Juuryoku [ Illusion of Gravity ] A Shibari Seppun [ Binding Kiss ] S Boufura no Ekirei [ Plague of Maggots ] S Mitsugimono no Suna [ Tribute of the Sand ] S
Once the genjutsu mastered finished the previous round of techniques she felt compelled to continue. She wanted to learn another eleven techniques so she began reading selectively. She knew dozens upon dozens of illusions and they were her's to command. The master of the mind finished reading the genjutsu descriptions and instructions and felt assured in her mastery of the content.
Magen: Kyouran no Me kara Kyoufu [ Demonic Illusion: Fear Through the Eyes of Madness ] A Kurayami no Oii [ Shroud of Darkness ] A Chiri no Ittenshikai [ World of Dust ] S Mougo Mukuro no Jutsu [ False Body Technique ] A Kakou Kouten no Jutsu [ Descending Heaven Technique ] A Zettai Tenkou Kansei no Jutsu [ Absolute Weather Control Technique ] A Chiridaruma Kuuchuu [ Dust Covered Sky ] A Kimitsushitsu Wana no Jutsu [ Airtight Chamber Trap ] A Kyoushuu Genkaku [ Physical Assault Illusion ] A Nanchou no Jutsu [ Deafness technique ] B
Kagami's next great passion was suiton so she unraveled that scroll. She set the genjutsu scroll aside as she read through the various water techniques. She knew that she could learn a handful of jutsu from her signature element just by looking at them. She desired to have an arsenal of suiton at her disposal at all times for Isobu to strengthen. After she read the instructions for all five techniques she felt that she could use them in practice.
LEARNED: Tsunami no Jutsu [ Tidal Wave Technique ] | S+ Kirisame [ Mist Rain ] | S+ Shabondama no Ninjutsu [ Soap Bubble Ninjutsu ] | S Suiryuuben [ Water Dragon Whip ] | S Idaina Kamikaze no Jutsu [ Great Typhoon Technique ] | S
With those five techniques under her belt she wanted to learn some more techniques. Two more suiton, one from katon, one from doton, and the summong technique. She read the suiton scroll. Then she read the katon scroll. After that she read the doton scroll. She was selective with what techniques to learn based on what sounded the most useful.
LEARNED: Ijin Ryouiki Mizu Goumon [ Devilβs Domain Water Torture ] | B Hahonryuu [ Destruction Torrent ] | A Kuchiyose no Jutsu [ Summoning Technique ] Oorashi no Ryuu [ Dragon of the Raging Storm ] | S Iwa Finaru [ Rock Finale ] | S+

__ Once Kagami completed her training she walked out of the arena. She returned to the library and stared at the vast books. She started picking books off the shelf that she thought might contain useful knowledge. The power of the rinnegan and other dojutsu to see through her illusions among other advantages was eating at her. She needed to see if there were a way to make her genjutsu too strong to be seen through or broken. She had a sizeable stack of books that she walked to the reading nook with. She sat down at a table and cracked open the book on top of the pile. The book was about genjutsu but it was not a training scroll. It was about the most powerful genjutsu entities throughout time. The book had a chapter on Isobu, the great genjutsu bijuu. The book then contained a chapter on genjutsu empowering kekkei genkai. The famous genjutsu of the sharingan were of course mentioned in great detail. The Yamanaka clan also received an honorable mention for their illusionary proficiency. However, she finally found an entire section dedicated to the Sakkakugan and the Kurama clan. As she read the history of the dojutsu and the clans that mingled to create it, she was reminded of a previous Mizukage. That Mizukage was the host of the Sanbi who wielded the Sakkakugan. He was a powerful illusionist indeed, but Kagami did not know the details of the dojutsu. The book details how the Sakkakugan can strengthen genjutsu to the point of it being impossible to kai out of. This eye can also emit a light that will disable dojutsu and other bloodlines. "That's the key." Kagami felt a rush at the idea of possessing such a powerful eye. She knew it was possible to have eyes implanted into people to pass along the genetic traits, but she was completely ignorant of the specifics. She hopped up from the table and went to the medical section of the library. She grabbed a massive book that detailed implants and returned to her seat. She vigorously read to find out how to implant dojutsu. There were pages and pages of details regarding the complexity of the procedure. After a couple of hours of reading she learned that she needed a doctor to perform the procedure, that the eyes must come from someone of equal power as her, and the immense cost of the surgery.
Kagami then made her way to the medical facilities and located their best surgen. "Can you do dojutsu transplants?" The Enchantress asked a straightforward question and the doctor nodded. "Yes, I can, but it'll cost you twenty-five thousand ryo. It's a very complicated procedure and requires the highest grade equipment." The surgeon responded matter of factly. "I'll pay it, prepare yourself to perform this surgery on me in the near future." The surgeon nodded in response as Kagami left the medical facilities and located some of her operatives. "Now to find someone that I can take them from." Three Kogarashi spies turned to her and kneeled when she approached. "Do you three know anyone who might have the Sakkakugan? Not just any ninja either, someone who is at the Sanin power level." Kagami suspected that she would need to get the eyes from someone at that level for a successful transplant based on her reading. "It's a rare kekkei genkai, Lady Kagami, but I've heard rumors from my missions in the Land of Whirlpools. There's a powerful shinobi on the island called Asahi Kurama of the Sakkakugan. It's said that he can kill people with just genjutsu. He's mad and ruthless with a high bounty on his head." This character sounded like Kagami's perfect candidate for a transplant. "Do you know how I can find him?" The operative shook his head no. "I've got no idea where he operates, but he's definitely in the Land of Whirlpools." Kagami then nodded and walked away. She returned to the clinic to purchase a sealed container with preservation liquid. Her priority mission now was to find this Asahi Kurama and take those eyes for herself. After she gathered all of her supplies she left the Institute in pursuit of the Land of Whirlpools.

__ Kagami walked into the Kogarashi Institute and headed to the medical facilities. She found the surgeon she spoke with earlier. "It's time." Kagami then handed over the eye samples in the preservation container. She also provided the twenty five thousand ryo required. After a few hours they refined their equipment and were ready for surgery. Kagami laid down in the surgery room as multiple guards stood in front of her door. The surgeon entered with all of the equipment and the eye samples. The surgery was intensive and took many hours with Kagami under anesthesia. The genetics were considered compatible and the surgery was a success. Kagami laid in the bed recovering for many days. Eventually she was cleared to leave and emerged with the implant.

__ Now that Kagami was fully recovered from her implant procedure it was time for her to master the skills of her new dojutsu. The surgeon explained to her that she would feel much weaker physically and lose all knowledge of taijutsu or bukijutsu styles but that this was a side effect of her new bloodline rather than a surgical error. The Sakkakugan's immense genjutsu power also came at the cost of her sanity over time. It is not uncommon that bipolar disorder may develop in Sakkakugan wielders because of the mental stress of such powers. She would also have to waste a small amount of extra chakra with sustained use of the implanted dojutsu. To Kagami, these were all small prices to pay for her antidote to the rinnegan and the mangekyo sharingan. The dojutsu would also drastically improve the quality of her illusions. Kagami was now a genjutsu master of peerless skill.
Kagami went to the library and found a scroll for the Sakkakugan. It was a training scroll for the bloodline. She pulled it off the shelf and walked out to the training yard. As she read through the techniques she knew that learning them would be arduous. She also knew that she would only be able to grasp up to A-Rank techniques that required the Sakkakugan to function. Her extensive research into dojutsu implants was serving her well. Kagami noticed that there were two categories of techniques to learn in weakening and illusion. She would begin with weakening because they would all serve her well should she need to defeat a dojutsu user or anyone who relied heavily on bloodline techniques.
First was the flash of weakness where she could fire a light out of her eyes to temporarily disable a dojutsu that looked into the light's range. Each weakness technique had a significant recovery time so she could only reasonably use each one once per battle. She focused on her eyes after she read the jutsu. It was causing her great eye strain.
She focused on her breathing as her eyes turned from gold to ruby. She noted that mastering her natural glass bloodline was much more seamless than this. Asahi Kurama's eyes seemed to be resisting her the more she attempted to create the green light. Eventually, the light blared from out of her eyes and she was able to keep it stable.
LEARNED: Senkou no Jaku [ Flash of Weakness ] | C
Next was the more advanced version of this technique. The Day of Weakness would lock down dojutsu access for double the Flash's duration. She rubbed her eyes as if to remove the strain. Kagami returned to focusing on manifesting the light.
Her eyes would temporarily glow with a crimson light. Then the light would suddenly flicker out when she attempted to project the light. She rubbed her tired eyes in frustration. The enchantress continued to focus on her eyes to produce the light.
Suddenly, she felt the weak red light begin to leave her eyes. She continued to focus on her eyes until a full ray of light was expelled. Then it flickered out after a few seconds. She did once more and could sustain it perfectly.
LEARNED: Di no Jaku [ Day of Weakness ] | B
She closed her eyes to refresh them as she prepared for two more weakness techniques. She needed to learn these jutsus as her trump card against the overwhelmingly powerful rinnegan and mangekyo. Kagami pushed herself to read the description of the Year of Weakness. This was the ultimate technique at the end of the series of anti-dojutsu techniques.
She used her red eyes to try to create the purple weakening light. This light needed to be sustained for longer than all of its predecessor techniques. Kagami continued to focus. Her eyes then glowed purple for a mere moment before fizzling out.
Now that she could get her eyes to glow the next step would be to project the light outward. After that, she would need to sustain the blaring light. Kagami felt the light begin to leave her eyes with further concentration. Suddenly, the light began blaring outwards brightly.
Her eyes were now extremely sore as she continued to maintain the light. This indigo flashing light was taking a heavy toll on her implanted organs. She winced in pain as she felt the timer near its ticking. Finally, she could definitively say that she could maintain the purple light for long enough.
LEARNED: Nendo no Jaku [ Year of Weakness ] | A
Kagami decided to take a nap after practicing the previous techniques and returned three hours later. She read the description of the last weakening technique with refreshed eyes. Now she felt prepared to learn this technique. She would not be able to learn the technique after this until she advanced further as a kunoichi. She knew that she was as powerful as a legendary ninja, but not beyond that at the moment in raw power.
After reading the technique description, Kagami started focusing on her eyes once again. Her eyes reddened as she focused on creating the white light. This white light would disable not only dojutsu but all kekkei genkai for a short time in her opponent. This power would be incredibly necessary against any bloodline specialist. She continued to focus and no white light was appearing yet.
After dozens of minutes of straining concentration, her eyes finally started to glow white. The Sakkakugan was proving to be a demanding mistress indeed. She proceeded in sustained focus. However, the light was not manifesting outward.
Finally, Kagami felt the white light leave her eyes. The light then immediately shut off when she lost focus. She breathed again, she was almost done. Eventually, she could blare the light for the short time required.
LEARNED: Tossa no Shin Jaku [ Moment of True Weakness ] | A
Kagami now wanted to learn the ultimate genjutsu breaker besides the bijuu release. She knew that the last couple of techniques she wanted desperately to learn were going to be tricky so she wanted to get this one out of the way. She focused on modifying the chakra in her brain. Then she tried to release it using the new method.
Kagami continued to try to follow the method. She charged chakra into her brain. She then practiced the relinquish tactic. She broke the chakra momentarily before it flooded back in.
She kept practicing the method. She practiced it many times. Eventually, she managed to break the spell. Now she was confident in her ability to use the technique.
LEARNED: Henjou [ Relinquish ] | B
Now it was time to learn the two techniques that exhibited the true power of the Sakkakugan. This was one is passive and would take effect whenever she was using her new dojutsu. Being able to fool a dojutsu and prevent it from seeing through an illusion was key. This technique would prove highly useful certainly.
Kagami practiced a genjutsu. She focused on strengthening it. She failed. She continued trying.
The siren continued to cast illusions onto a target. She tried applying the method again. She felt she was making progress. It was not perfect yet.
She needed to clarify the learn more about the technique. She gave it another read over from the scroll. She read the description many times. It was a very complicated technique method.
Kagami was having a difficult time imagining this becoming a passive ability that was second nature to her at some point. She continued practicing the method. She case genjutsu onto an electronic dummy with an artificial chakra system. She felt it starting to become more potent.
The Enchantress continued to practice her enchantments. She knew that her enchanted sea mirrors would be perfect for these enhancements. She kept practicing. She knew that she was only halfway done.
Kagami continued to practice on the dummy. It was a difficult task to learn how she could strengthen her genjutsu to the point where it would trick the byakugan. She continued to focus. She threw out a series of cantrips and tried to apply the method to each one.
She took a break from casting and enchanting to glance back at the scroll. She needed to understand the full context of the genjutsu method. The Kurama clan were absolute geniuses with genjutsu. Only a once in a generation prodigy like Asahi would arise.
Kagami continued reading vigorously. She also charged up some genjutsu. She needed her full power to practice the complicated method effectively. Finally, she was ready to return to practice.
Now she was grasping the strengthening method even greater than before. Kagami focused on her illusions now. She felt them beginning to strengthen. She was making progress.
The Jinchuuriki saw a difference in her genjutsu now. They felt more obscuring and overpowering than ever. This dojutsu was starting to live up to its name. Kagami appreciated her newfound powers despite its toll on her.
She tried one last time. She was certain it would work. Now the method was fully applied. Good luck enemy dojutsu!
Now she needed to learn the next genjutsu empowering method. This would allow her to pay half the chakra cost of a genjutsu to make it possible to kai out of. This would take her genjutsu abilities to the next level. She was about to become the greatest illusionist of all time. She could hypnotize with her mirrors with illusions that are unbreakable.
Kagami read through the scroll with intensity. She needed to fully grasp the method. It was not as simple as adding half the chakra cost of the original illusion on top. That was the least intricate step saved for last.
She continued to learn and try to understand the method. Genjutsu was not a straightforward art like taijutsu. It was highly theoretical and difficult to put into practice. Especially the techniques of the Kurama clan.
She thought of herself as a good reader with a high level of comprehension. But even this level of complexity was overwhelming for her. Why could they not just do a ten-step model? She had to work with the instructions she had at her disposal though.
Once she was finally done reading she approached her genjutsu dummy. The genjutsu practice mannequins were expensive. Hopefully, her chakra would not override the circuitry and break it. She started focusing her chakra on invading the "brain" of the target.
She kept casting. With each cast, she felt closer to completing it. She would occasionally forget the steps. She kept trying.
Now that she was over halfway done she felt encouraged. Kagami continued to practice on the dummy. This method was expending a lot of energy. It was good that she had such a large reserve of chakra.
Kagami kept trying to master the method. The illusions she was casting were very strong. They were much stronger than before. She was not done yet though.
She was now most of the way through this technique. Kagami kept focusing her chakra. Eventually, the chakra overpowered the mannequin. Now she needed to maintain it.
Kagami's chakra was now sustaining. She was straining her focus. It was almost broken but she began breathing. It was hard to sustain her grip on the target.
Kagami was a genjutsu master who was stuck in her ways. It was difficult to retrain her brain for such a drastically different method. She understood that this was superior. She continued focusing.
She was almost done. Kagami kept her grip on the target. Now her genjutsu would be too powerful to use kai on. Kai was the bain of her existence no more.

__ After a day of resting, Kagami wanted to go on another trip. She learned the summoning technique earlier. She knew that powerful shinobi had contracts with species of animals to summon at any time. Kagami knew that she would need backup if she were surrounded by multiple powerful enemies. Her trip to Uzu made her more aware of this challenge. Getting a summon was the final step of Kagami's plan to drastically improve herself. The first step was making it to the Sanin level, the second was implanting the Sakkakugan, and third would now be obtaining a summon. She went to the library to learn as much as she could about summons. She found a book and sat down in a comfortable chair to read it. She read the various animal choices that she could pick from. "Snakes, gross. Plus, I think Chie has that one so I wouldn't get it anyway. Monkeys, too annoying. Rabbits, too cutesy. Wildcats, maybe. Bats, double gross. Insects, triple gross." She was somewhat disappointed with each known location until her eyes saw the last and oldest option. "Turtles, of course! Turtles have always been good to me." Kagami even had a pet turtle when she was a young girl. She read all of the information about each turtle that was known to be summoned and partnered with shinobi. They all sounded very useful to have in her arsenal of battle strategies. Particularly the largest summon of all time, a turtle that could cause earthquakes. She saw a map that detailed where the Lake Loka of legend was. Kagami then put the book back and walked out of the Institute.

__ Sandayu had stepped out onto the southeastern side of the Institute's roof. Irritation and confusion riddled his expression, and beneath it all was a seething rage which he could not gladly quell. Choumei was quiet, but Sanda knew that the monstrous insect was never far. "Damn cockroach." He spat his insult aloud even though thinking it alone would have sufficed to pass the feeling toward the sealed Nanabi. He tucked his hands away into his sleeves and stared out toward the distance. "How could I fail everyone so.. badly?' Sanda vividly recalled the last time he saw his parents before he left his village for this all-important quest. He thought of all the tough trials that required him to fight, trick and coerce his own siblings into doing as the clan needed of them. He thought of his family's blood on his hands. He remembered the hard decisions he made with the strongest hope that the means justified the end. However, the cruelty of fate was apparently quite boundless. 'If you're right about anything, demon, it's that I am indeed quite unlucky.' Sandayu couldn't deny that for as much as he had come up fortunate for his personal abilities and talents, everything else proportionately suffered. Even though he'd finally come up with a way to satisfy his jealous siblings while also significantly bolstering his whole clan- and village. Now he only had himself to appreciate his grand failure and minuet successes.
Speaking of successes, he knew that he should still be proud that he'd managed to defeat a godly being. sanda had to focus on some kind of positive or he might actually blow up on this bijuu then toss his unfulfilled promise to Belamos to restrain himself from annihilating just about all of Arashigakure. "Masato..." Sanda muttered his older biological brother's name stoically. That man was strong-willed and powerful in many apparent ways. However, his brother truly let his foolishness and emotions blind him from logic. Rushing in not once, but many times over just to get overwhelmed by their mother had practically come to define him as far as Sanda was concerned. Like others, he also seemed to be painfully trusting in others regardless of how well he knew them. Akigana told Sandayu to not let his distrust close him off from the world before he died, but the truth was that Akigana also only died because he didn't rely on himself enough.
Sighing, Sandayu's eyes shifted to that of the Rinnegan, calling forth the King of Hell. As he pulled his hands from his sleeve he also took out a small scroll he'd received from Masato. He acted quickly to minimize the stinging pain that came from plucking his eyes out. Even with them away he could still see himself and his immediate surroundings rather clearly thanks to the King of Hell. Both of Masato's stored eyes were summoned and his old pair were then sealed away in their place, then the scroll put away. His brother's eyes were set into his head and he treaded into the King of Hell's mouth despite being rather sightless at the moment. Moments later, Sandayu exited the summoned being's maw once it opened again. His eyes tingled with their functionality fully restored and integrated. Upon opening them to the world he drew upon his gained ocular power and effortlessly blended Masato's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan with his Rinnesharingan and Byakugan as well. "Success..." Unlike most others, Sandayu didn't need medical expertise or equipment because he had the demi-godly powers of the Seven Paths to create his own miracles. He'd killed gods, defied death, and even controlled the very laws of physics and conservation of mass. Compared to all that, this feat was paltry at best. Sandayu reverted his eyes back to only the Rinnegan, noting the slight but noticeable strain on his chakra reserves to just to use the Eternal Mangekyo level of the Sharingan. It wasn't his inherent power, unlike what he'd hereditarily gained from his mother who seemed to use all three dojutsu and even wood release too. 'Clearly, my biological father really botched my genetics for my abilities to have been watered down this much compared to my mother.' Sure, he beat her, but only because she obviously held back out of affection for her sons. That was her own fault, not his. Another Yomotsu Hirasaka doorway opened up before him and he stepped through to end up beside the Arena battlegrounds. He set his sights on the warriors, mostly shinobi, who were engaged in sparring and personal training. This was about to get interesting...
Sandayu had to test out and get a feel for this power shared to him by his brother. The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan's abilities and many others tucked away within were most peculiar. With some practice on live and inanimate objects, Sanda discovered the Sharingan's affinity for genjutsu as well as his gained affinity for fire ninjutsu. Needless to say, his ability to handle close quarters combat that much more effectively. By far, the most stupendous power of the fully developed Sharingan was its hypnotic prowess. Choumei was surely paying attention during this little musical montage to more unnecessary power. It would surely be the bijuu's undoing if nothing was done to stop Sandayu. **LEARNED - All normal Uchiha techniques, Kamui, Susano'o and Susano'o-related techniques. [ Uchiha | 20/32 Bloodline Jutsu Learned ]
When he was done, Sandayu stepped back out of the arena. He'd hardly broken a sweat, but definitely enjoyed his time mastering these new powers of his. Now, all that remained was to turn them on Choumei and take that power as well. The bijuu would show responsibility for the destruction of his clan, one way or another. After that, all that remained was to settle the score with Arashigakure's leadership. Who could say where he'd stand after all that? Revenge was a pretty short-sighted issue, but he knew he wouldn't regret taking a single life to avenge each and everyone one of those lost to him. In the meantime, Sandayu had to treat Gimangakure as his new home. He didn't owe it any allegiance, but he'd make sure he at least had a place around here to rest his head when the time came.

__ Once she returned to the Institute she could practically feel Isobu begin to shake. "Choumei is near." Isobu spoke to give her a warning that it was around. "The seven tails? Is it loose?!" She felt her heart rate increase at the possibility. "No, he's s-s-sealed in someone. You're very close to his jinchuuriki." Kagami nodded in response to the conclusion of their inner dialogue. She was worried in no small part due to Isobu's nervous mumbling, which she was mostly accustomed to by now with the exception of his few words during potentially dangerous situations such as these. The nanabi's jinchuuriki was in the Institute. At least that is what she assumed given that there was not much around the Kogarashi Institute, to begin with.
Kagami walked around the Institute before asking an operative to lead her to the mysterious guest with the powerful dojutsu that Belamos let in. She needed to vet him for herself. Perhaps he was a plant from a village to destroy the organization. Maybe he could be of use to her directly. She needed to have a conversation with him. Belamos letting him in was already concerning, he was proving to be an even dumber ape than Son Goku. Kagami was led to the training yard to see a young man at about her age with raven hair. and a martial arts outfit. "Is it in him?" Kagami asked with Isobu's approval. What she knew about him so far was that he possessed a dojutsu, has the nanabi, and seeks vengeance against Arashigakure. She needed to leverage this knowledge to grab a new chess piece. The beautiful young woman smiled brightly as she approached him. "Welcome to Kogarashi! I'm one of the leaders, Kagami Hari. What's your name?" She needed to start off simply with a charming twinge and see how this would develop.

__ Sandayu was relaxing against a random pillar with a view over the arena after his workout. While he was trying to enjoy watching the weaker warriors duke it out Choumei interrupted, "Isobu." Just the bijuu's voice alone was enough to irritate Sanda all over again. 'What? Another one of your demon siblings? Do you guys just automatically know when each other are nearby, and do you seriously have to say something every time? Shut up. I mean it.' He made sure to keep all that reserved just for the Nanabi in his thoughts and then tried to go back to enjoying the next match. Choumei let it be, not really caring one way or another if Sandayu disregarded the fair warning of another jinchuuriki's presence. His "luck is what you make of it" attitude was sort of a double-edge sword. The kid could figure things out on his own for the time being.
There was a pretty big upset in the arena as the underdog pulled a miraculous move to greatly cripple the favored fighter. Just as he was about to see who actually came out on top the soft patter of a woman's footsteps caught his attention. He didn't mind it much until she actually spoke. With a sigh, the young man began to reply to the newly introduced leader figure, "Sandayu. No need to be so friendly." For only a moment did he actually look at Kagami before returning his gaze to the arena as it was now being cleared from the remains of the last match. She was an attractive girl, no doubt. Given her proclaimed position in this Kogarashi group, she could be as difficult to deal with as Belamos was. "So, Kagami Hari, Kogarashi has multiple leaders?" Somehow, Belamos didn't strike Sandayu as the type to share the final say on things. He was far from tyrannical, but he definitely did a damn good job hiding his low tolerance for problematic sorts. Then again, you could say that the old man had obviously moved past his aggressive phase in life to act so overly diplomatic.

__ She watched the fight with Sandayu and smirked. Quite a few men have died in this arena to win Kagami's affections, which was always quaint. "H-h-hi, lucky seven..." Isobu shyly greeted his brother with Choumei's favorite nickname. It had been so long since the brothers were together. Isobu always appreciated Choumei's happy attitude and wanted to greet him. The shy turtle was never the one to greet first either, but Choumei was one of his favored siblings. Kagami brushed long cerulean locks back coquettishly. "I can't help but be friendly when I see a new handsome face in the Institute." The temptress allowed her eyes to fall on Sandayu with smoldering intensity. She needed to determine what type of misfit this powerful figure was. If he was the lustful type like Ryutaro then she could play him like a fiddle, if he was the prideful man like Belamos then it was just as easy, or maybe he was neither. All men were tools at her disposal for manipulation one way or another. "Two high ranking members, but I know you've already met the other one." This was not a lie in Kagami's estimation. The idea that Belamos was likely peddling that he was the only Kogarashi Leader was worthy of a chuckle. She would not play that hand in this first meeting with Sandayu though for it was too risky. "What's your story? Are you a new member? What do you want with us?" Kagami already knew the answer to these questions somewhat, but she wanted to see if he would lie to her or perhaps give her more information. A burning desire for vengeance against Arashigakure was definitely a goal that she could work with. She could only guess that Belamos told him to suppress these desires as he told her to avoid harming Arashigakure, as if she would listen to his orders. "Belamos must know that he can't keep Arashi safe for his own personal interests for long." She smirked devilishly at her thoughts as she waited to hear from Sandayu.

__ Choumei considered redirecting his reunion with Isobu to the deeper mental recess to avoid Sandayu, but then realized that it'd be that much funnier for yet another voice to float in the boy's head. Sure enough, as soon as the Nanabi was addressed, Sanda's expression visibly changed from apathy to concern and defensiveness. "Hey there Isobu! How's the water in there?" Being that Kagami was the only one present, it didn't take much for him to guess, or at least assume, that she was the reason for this invasion of his mind. Sanda let her finish answering his question and to ask her own. He came to stand away from the pillar he was leaning on before and now turned to face Kagami. "Orphaned and looking to kill those responsible. Just partners. I wanted help with my vengeance but instead got challenged and ridiculed." His gaze was intense, even without any of his dojutsu. "How about you tell Isobu, or whatever, to stay out of my thoughts? I've already got one noisy roommate to deal with as it is." He was going out on a limb, but he was pretty sure this girl was the host of whichever one of the bijuu Isobu was. Honestly, even he was tired of how snappy he was getting with everyone and everything lately. Who could blame him though? He'd still yet to actually take a moment to grieve, let alone fully process everything that had happened to him in the last several months. He was strong, but still at least half human and unlike his mother wouldn't vainly feign superiority.

__ Isobu was elated to hear his brother's voice again. It had been too long and the reunion was considerably overdue. "N-not bad. Do you have any room to fly?" The timid voice more or less returned the question that rang in Sandayu and Kagami's heads. Choumei's voice was disturbingly deep compared to Isobu's gentle tones which jarred Kagami. "So he already has issues with the ginger king, excellent." Kagami thought, she was pleased that this piece on the chess board was still up for grabs. She smiled at his request to quiet Isobu. "No can do, it's hard enough as it is to get Isobu talking and I love hearing from him." Kagami winked after she made her coy response. "My parents were killed in a pointless war because of Kiri and then it had the nerve to collapse anyway. After that, the village decided to use me as their pure priestess sacrifice for the water demon we were using as the village battery before our treehouse was destroyed by the rebels. Can you beat that?" Kagami complained about her past and baited Sandayu. She wanted to know what his story was in detail.

__ Choumei just chuckled at Sandayu's complaint to the Sanbi's host before replying to Isobu, "Heh, no. The kid hasn't even the imagination to give me a place to be." Sandayu's brow twitched at the Nanabi's comment He snapped at the bijuu sealed in himself, 'Are you looking for a fight?' Meanwhile, he was also trying to listen to Kagami. Her denial of her request made it pretty clear that she was in a relatively favorable relationship with her bijuu, just like Belamos with Son Goku. "Tch..." He clicked his tongue out of annoyance and then heard out her own personal sob story. "Even if I can I have to ask first. Do you make a habit about talking about yourself so openly? It seems to be a norm form people... everywhere." He folded his arms and shook his head, "No. Let's just say I can't beat that. My family brought our village's destruction upon themselves. Just because I know that doesn't mean I don't still want my vengeance." Unlike the rest of this foolish world around him, Sandayu was determined to remain true to his teachings. His personal life and interests should not be made aware to others as easily as they seemed to be content with. Sandayu wouldn't tell Kagami more than he had Belamos, and he wouldn't underestimate the information network of an established organization like this.

Bakisame rushed around the institute halls. His carefree demeanor would be none different than usual. This was his first day of training in the Kogarashi institute. It had been four years since he entered the foster system. Four years since the god like hero saved him by snapping the neck of his attacker. He had entered seven homes in the last four years. All seven had sent him packing within the month...each one refusing to speak ill of the child out of fear but never specified what scared them. Bakisame would near the door of the academy room, slamming his fist into the door to open it. It would swing open easily as it dented the wall of the room . He showed no signs of remorse as the wall behind crumbled at the impact.
He giggled as the door hung to his right. " Hehehe. Hiya class." He said in a prepubescent voice as he grinned ear to ear. He glanced around as the rest of the children who were being indoctrinated to Kogarashi after being taken from their respective villages stared at him in disbelief. He laughed in their faces as he approached one of the desks nearest the window. A rather large boy sat in the window seat. His eyes narrowed upon his gray skinned visage while his gills constricted. He said nothing to the boy before drawing his fist back and bludgeoning the boy with a single strike. The single strike would knock the boy from his seat, relinquishing it to Bakisame. The boy stood up , ready to fight as he wiped the blood away from hi-. Blood. Bakisame's scales stood on end as he glared at the boy with a menacing grin. " You smell....delicious." he growled. This out of the blue statement to the child caused him to flee rather quickly to the restroom. After several moments, the instructor would enter. [ Hard Physical Formless E Rank Learned ]
__ Kagami nonchalantly shrugged at his question about whether she tells her life story to everyone she meets. She then fought the urge to grin ear to ear at his mention of vengeance. She was practically a cheshire clat and devilishly gleeful. This was her opportunity to steer him toward her agenda. "I agree with you, I believe that all villages should burn. Then the citizens would be free from their tyranny. We'd all be better off without them." Kagami stated her anarchic political opinion very flatly and with a genuine honesty that not even Sandayu could be suspicious of. "Your angel of vengeance stands before you. Are you ready to get started?" Kagami gave him the offer of a lifetime and she was more than willing to bypass Belamos. If Sandayu betrayed her by telling Belamos then she would easily deal with him, however, fortune always favored her boldness. Kagami had a plan in mind for what to do if he accepted her offer.
