Mt. Raijin: The day we came to agree...[Group]

Raijin looked at Grave as he went off about everything and he sighed heavily rubbing his temples with his fingers softly, he closed his eyes, "yeah but I'm a samurai with the ability of using shinobi techniques, that's the only reason why I'm bound by two laws which is also why I can't be branded a missing-nin really, they can try but that breaks the treaty with the Iron country made by all countries that allow us to be within, although I'm an exception because I'm a samurai and a shinobi so I don't know if they'll feed me to the wolves so to speak... or if they'll protect me." Raijin said as he opened his eyes before he smirked a bit, "besides, I don't have to tell the Raikage a damn thing, if it's involved with my personal matters I don't owe my life to him, if he really wants to know he can send his anbu to find out, but then again, that's an act of war on my part." Raijin said as he sighed heavily before he shrugged it all off.

He looked at him and nodded, "your family matters are so screwed up that I never bothered to look into them deeply." Raijin said with a smirk on his face as it was true, but it was meant as a joke as well, he looked at the giant scroll and nodded, "I don't trust anyone, and I yet I trust you, but at the same time it's more of a bond then trust really." Raijin said as he grabbed the seal off the scroll and placed it upside down on the desk, "now, let's figure something out..." he said as he looked at him before he heard something about him and Suna.

"Wait wait wait... something seems off, what was the full deal you two made, I want to know them all..." Raijin said looking at his friend with a serious look upon his face.

Grave glanced upward at Raijin to explain the entire deal to him. "You see...in order to obtain several things, I gave him some diamonds to him in order for him to get what he needed but in exchange....we got the Kinjutsu scroll for Konoha...after which the next part of the deal... was for me to obtain the Kinjutsu scroll from Suna...as he'd would obtain the kinjutsu scroll from Kumo. In the end I must head to Suna to obtain the scroll to finish the deal and but I still have an uneasy feeling that he may be up to something. So I need to create several jutsus if anything. But I have to look and read to find the jutsus that are needed in order to create the ones for capturing the bijuus."

Studying the Kinjutsu Scroll a bit it left him confused on a few parts but some made since on other parts. Thinking to it, and finally coming close the jutsu he needed to see. He read over it carefully and smiled big. "I believe i found the jutsu that is going to help us out my friend."

Raijin looked at Grave and scoffed at the deal, "you basically handed some stranger seven diamonds in return for him to steal a scroll from the leaf, and from the Raikage? and in return we have to steal the kinjutsu scroll from Suna? we got really screwed on this deal, that seems more one sided, and that suna kinjutsu scroll, we're going to make a copy of it so we have it and two others in our possession." Raijin said as he got up and walked over to the open wall in the dojo and sat down at the edge where the wall would prevent one from falling out of the building as it were.

Raijin sighed as he sat there and looked out at the scenery in the distance and noticed Aoi as she suddenly disappeared and reappeared beside him, she leaned in and whispered something which made Raijin frown, "apparently he'll teach me, but I have to give up information as well, depending on it I might have to make it up as I go..." Raijin said aloud for Grave to hear, he didn't even want to go and deal with this old bastard if he didn't have to, it just made things too much of a hassle for him if he had to give up information on someone he trusted with his life and loved like a brother, like they were real family, not just some kids pressing cut palms together and calling each other blood brothers.

Standing up he walked over to the desk again and looked at Grave and the scroll, "so... what's the jutsu?" Raijin asked as he and Aoi leaned in to look at the scroll.

Nodding at the idea of the scroll, "That was the general idea...however we are going to create a false copy of the Suna Kinjutsu scroll and give it to them instead while we hold the real scroll for us just in case of some problem comes up. Now the thing about it is...he doesn't know of our location so we have a positive on that but after which we must learn all the jutsus that are useful."
Going back to watch Raijin talk with Aoi for a bit and hearing about giving information up in exchange. Grave smiled and took out a scroll that he created in case of times like this."Give him this scroll...it explains the small plans of the Asakura in order to seal spirits and how you are the basic guardsmen allowing the asakura priest to not be bothered. As well what areas we've sealed and are left unsealed. However...it will show that the cave is also sealed as well. So you should be on guard for that as well. If anything is asked about the Nibi...just say the beast is still being chained down by the latest priest."

Looking back over at him, "Also I gave him 4 diamonds in order to gain the Konoha kinjutsu scroll while I have to steal Suna's scroll in order to obtain the Kumo's kinjutsu scroll. So its not as bad as we think...also the jutsus...needed for this, We'll need Edo Tensai, Tajuu Kage Bunshin no jutsu...and finally Souzou Saisei. With these techniques we'll be able to survive a bit of damage but come back with a large attack if we have to."

Raijin looked at him and nodded, "I see... so it was indeed the plan to cross them in the end anyways, but still that money might have been put to use to build an army of reasonable size you know." Raijin said as he stood there, he shook his head and sighed heavily before he looked at Grave, "I just want to make sure your safe and protected, anyone else gets in my way, they get either pushed aside or if they wont stop or try killing me then it's the same back but you, you got more luck on your side then I do, that's for sure." Raijin said as he patted Grave's shoulder.

He took the scroll and looked at Grave and sighed, "you were preparing for him to ask something of that weren't you?" Raijin asked before that was cut short, "he doesn't care about that or anything of that at all, he wants to know what it's like to be a samurai, and only you can answer those questions Raijin-sama." Aoi said before she sat down at the desk with Grave and continued studying, "Go and train with the Raikage and learn well, I'll stay and help Grave-san with the studying and everything else till you return." Aoi added. Raijin looked at her with a serious look on his face, he knew that everyone in every country was restricted on that information for a reason, it's what made them actual warriors, not some thugs or simple sword for hire people like ronnin's.

Raijin nodded "I'll be back later on then." Raijin said as he turned to Grave, "use her help wisely, she may look our age.. but don't let looks deceive you brother." Raijin said with grin on his face as he vanished into a thick cloud of smoke.

Grave had shook his head at Raijin's statement, "No...its never my idea to cross them its a backup plan just in case something does happen in the end. You see i follow my code correct my way of a shinobi and a priest. But I have to be on gaurd at all times." Soon after seeing Raijin get ready Grave tilted his head with a small nod. "Be careful...I'm sure me and Aoi can handle ourselves if anything. But you should be careful yourself. Never know how strong thar Raikage truly is for training. Also if you learn anything make sure to report it back could be useful for the both of us in the end if we are facing against the Bijuus."

Grave went back to studying the kinjutsu scroll and reading over the facts of the bijuus once again before closing the scrolls to stand up glancing over at Aoi. Listen I do not want you getting harmed by anything when we test out the jutsus but I'm going to be working on the massive jutsu in order to seal the next target. But Raijin...we have to hurry so be ready i'll be training as well while you are gone understood?"

Grave smiled giving a thumbs up to him wishing him luck in a way for the training. "Hey...I'll complete my tasks later on...i'm heading to Suna for a bit to check out somethings before the damn treaties become useless words on paper to the other major countries.We just have to be ready for it no matter what...got it?" Grave smirked as he went over to grab the time space scroll to begin working on the jutsu allowing them to train and become somewhat stronger in times passing.

Raijin heard everything Grave said and looked at Aoi before he disappeared, she closed her eyes and sighed pulling out a scroll, "Raijin wants you to take this with you, if your in trouble it'll summon his other guardian, she's not kind as I am, but she'll summon Raijin when you tell her that your his brother, we all know of you in the demon warrior clan so just remember to use her first name, her name is Wing Ching." Aoi said as she tossed the scroll to Grave, with a look in her demon eyes meant it, every word for him to take seriously.

Raijin appeared with the scroll and another scroll of his own, and sighed heavily as they had his seal upon them, he walked to the secretaries desk and looked at her again with a slight smirk on his face, "still working hard eh?" Raijin said still remembering the last time they first met. Raijin had indeed grown a lot more since the last time that they had met and he didn't seem to mind it the slightest as he was wearing his weights now to suppress his growth in strength, skill, and knowledge.

Grave took the scroll from Aoi and nodded noticing the serious look she was giving him. 'Well that's strange she seems like she'd be the kind to kill you in an instant but only when she gave that look. Oh well might as well just take this damn thing.' Grave placed the scroll in his back pocket as he took the Kinjutsu scroll over to the middle of the dojo to finish studying the scroll carefully. "They seem easy...but they also seem a bit tricky at the same time...each one seems to have a small drawback. If not careful it could kill you..." Grave went back to studying careful and sighed lightly as he nodded, "I see...now it all works and makes sense now." Turning to make his attention to Aoi. "Tell me something...to bring one from the dead would it cause an mess of the cycle of life at all?" Grave was curious as the jutsu he may learn and use could be a hard one at that but cause some issues if not used carefully.

Looking at the requirements of the jutsu it seemed to be a big issue with how it worked. But the shocking was what it truly need to work. Grave backed up slowly shaking his head. "What...I need...a living soul to do this..." Grave took a few steps back and fell to the ground shaking a bit. He was trying to save lives not take them but in exchange was it really worth it as it could cause an issue using this technique.

While Raijin was gone and with her orders Aoi read through the scrolls and when asked a question by Grave she looked at him and sighed heavily, "yes and no..." she said as she paused looking at him, she knew what he was reading exactly because the immortal Raijin was indeed a result of that jutsu. She looked outside at the birds and pointed to them, "see those birds on the branch, think of the left as yin and the right as yang, you split those apart, and the requirements for what I know your reading..." she explained before pausing to look at Grave again as she noticed he read into it more, "are something really grim, and it also steals a bit of your soul at the same time." Aoi said as she walked over with the time and space seal scroll and placed it on top of the kinjutsu scroll, "this is something interesting that you might want to read." She said as she did so.


The secretary looked up at Raijin and smiled before he pointed to the door, "he's in but he's busy all day..." She said before she noticed the weights Raijin was wearing, "well that's unfortunate..." Raijin said as he looked towards the Raikage's room and shook his head, "here's that information I heard he required..." Raijin said as he placed the scroll Grave gave him to give to the Raikage, "Tell him if he wants the other information he's going to have to make time in his busy day and spar with me." Raijin said as he smiled and bowed before he turned around and left, leaving the building he sighed heavily before he looked up into the clear blue sky and smiled, "I supposed I can go train there again..." Raijin thought to himself before he noticed something happening out of his right eye, he saw a group of the triad gangsters that normally remained underground in Kumo to avoid attention from the Raikage or the shinobi, but this was a samurai they were about to mess with...

Grave shook his head for a moment to regain his breath from the shock of the technique that he was reading. Upon looking over at the scroll that was placed on top of the Kinjutsu Scroll. Grave tilted his head for a moment reaching for it slowly. To grip tightly around the scrool carefully lifting it up. "What's in this one...the reason it may interest me?" Grave was unsure of it at the moment before long someone else came through the door of the dojo glancing at Grave. After which he stood up slowly noticing the figure was a small person about to the waist of Grave.

"So...you have the scroll after all..." The voice seemed to be deep but crackly of an elderly man. Grave took a step in front of the scroll and glanced over at the person only for them to come out of the shadows. "Grave it seems you father has told me all that you have done. Sealing that creature within your very own body...shameful you will be destroyed by the very beast now. Now having the kinjutsu scroll of the fire country. Seems...you plan a lot for yourself doesn't matter how you live your life the right way? You are falling for the path that your very brother took as well. A path of "Power" and "Sorrow" you must understand what I speak to you about." His grandfather looked directly at Grave making no way of breaking eye contact with his cain placed and held closely with his left hand.

Grave gripped tightly with his fist having blood slowly start to drip on to the floor. "H-How...dare you...compare that person...to me!" Grave yelled out with rage echoing through the dojo. "I was the one that faced off against him after going...You cannot understand what powers he has...if that's the case then its simple...I rather leave this place clear what I have to do." Grave turned away getting ready to walk off before his grandfather took one step closer into the dojo yelling at him from behind, "You are as stupid as your father...Listen, I only wish for you to live free and peaceful. In the end die a life not having to fight for like we had to. So come with me...to the cave in which you sealed that beast within. So you'll not only have a way to live free...but the power to protect those you need. But finish reading the scroll. After which you should be able to escape from the path you walk after your training with your father and I."

Vanishing with smoke cloud covering the body Grave looked noticing the old vanished leaving nothing behind. "Great...he leaves once again having me confused as to what he's truly after with me...but going back...to that cave... I wonder does he plan on releasing the beast with in me as well." Soon a small voice could be heared again as Grave zoned out for that moment only to appear before the Bijuu once again. This time landing on the pillar it stood at the top of. 'What is this...not...here again with you!' Grave spoke loudly at the tailed beast before he snarled turning in a circle to lay down with its eyes closed. 'Please...human...do not flatter yourself because I'm here before you. All I know is...if that old man does free me than I'll be happy enough to not kill them in exchange.' The tailed beast was yawning as it slowly started to go to sleep. Grave was about to run to kick it as he hit an invisible wall it seemed. Looking around he noticed a handle on it. Walking over carefully it read, 'Seal' Grave noticed that it also had a key hole under it.

'I see...that's how it works...your stuck on the other side while i'm on this side...I will have to remember that and keep you there for now...please understand...i need your help if anything...but for now...good bye again..' Grave jumped off the pillar for him to shake his head from zoning then glancing back at the scroll as he continued to read it. "I think I'm going to get the hang of this...but Edo Tensai...it will take some getting use to. I'll try it out later if it calls for me to use. Aoi. I'm leaving for a bit to head to the cave where I found the Bijuu. Please be sure to stay a while and guard this place until Raijin comes back. Thank you!" Grave quickly turned running out the door to deal with his father and grandfather. But the only thing on his mind was the Bijuu within him. 'I'll...show you...I'm different then you think...' Turning his attention back to the scroll of Konoha he finished studying the jutsu only to close it up. "Done...I've accepted the fact of how the jutsu works now...But I will use it when I truly need to. So for now...leave everything to me and get back to Raijin...I'll be seeing you some other time alright!" Grave quickly turning back around to head for the door he glanced at the open sky feeling the rays of the sun. He smirked and jumped into the air smiling and darting off towards the cave where he would meet his family once more and mostly for the final time.

Raijin walked over to the thugs and arrived in time as one of them was about to strike a man while he was down and he looked at the man in his eyes before head butting him in the nose causing it to explode and start bleeding, "you may try and extort these people but you'll not do it in my presence you trash." Raijin said, his tone serious and pissed right off now. One of the men stopped what they were doing as well as the rest and looked at him, "woah woah woah, don't need to get involved too much boy." one of them said, "Yeah just Fck off!" another said before he was on the ground with the man Raijin head butted on top of him groaning. The group all turned and looked at him and started shouting death at Raijin.

Meanwhile back with Aoi and Grave, Aoi noticed the older man and figured he was related to Grave and sighed heavily as they fought and shouted at each other before she heard Grave speak and she shook her head at this point, "I have to remain here anyways!" Aoi said rather annoyed by the fact that Raijin told her to stay here to deal with all of this crap on a day like this, "I'll tell Raijin where you went and who you went to meet with." Aoi said as she grabbed the scrolls to clean up before she read something within the scroll as Grave rolled it up.


After Grave left Aoi unrolled the scroll all the way and looked over it all before she stopped at the one Grave was reading and sighed shaking her head at the jutsu before she looked over to one beside it, "Tajuu kage buunshin no jutsu?" She said to herself as she read it and nodded, "Raijin might find use for this greatly." Aoi said before she continued reading the scroll itself pressing a couple buttons to close up the dojo.

Raijin looked at all the Triad members on the ground and sighed heavily, "trash... you don't show your face here again! or I'll come visit you all!" Raijin said as he turned and vanished into a cloud of smoke to appear on top of a building over looking all of Kumogakure, he sat down on the building and stared out at it all and sighed, "I just hope that myself and Grave don't lose focus of our goal, and that beast doesn't drive him crazy..." he thought to himself as he sat there.
