The Private Quarters of the Mizukage

No, I want to know more about your rare eyes. what other mysteries lie within

I will show you something...that only very few people have seen...-stands up and walks over to my desk pushing it out of the way and pulls up the trap door - Come. -jumps down and lights a torch-

flickers into the hole

-leads you down a hallway and finally stops setting the torch in a holder. As I do torches around the room light up filling the room with a dull light- This is the library of all the jutsu, techniques, brandings, etc., of the Hoshigaku Clan. -pulls a book off the shelf dusting it off and flips to a page showing you a strange branding- This branding is the same as the one on my back. It was used to tame the strongest members of our clan...they put a double seal on my marking...

Double sealing, easy to make, hard to get rid of sometimes

-nods- Anything you need to know about our clan is in here. From the journal of the first documentation to the creation of the clan to present day.

Let me see your brand mark now
Now looks at you

I'm not obligated to show you that. -stares back at you-

still stares at you
I see..... Special brandings, what will happen if they are removed

It could possible kill me...then again it will also seperate me from their control. -sighs- Either way I'm free of them.

Most brands are quite simple to remove, you just have to know wich one to remove and how many there are to be removed
still looks at you

This brand is different...it was imprinted within my body before I was even born. Our clan is well known for their breeding techniques. This one will prove more of a challenge to remove.

Yes, but still, I am curious to look at a real one than one in a book

And I am not obligated to show you. You may look through whatever you like. -turns and walks down the hallway leaving you there-

I understand, please do not leave

-turns and walks back towards you standing beside you looking at the bookshelf- Our clan is very special...not something to be taken lightly...-pulls off another book opening it-
"July 28, 1756,
We have finally succeeded in building the being we have been searching for. After months of researching we have successfully created both a male and female subject of this new species. Their beauty, grace, and strength is unmatched to anything we have ever seen before. The physical features are amazing. Hair and eyes as black as coal. Strength is that of 5x times their mass. We have discovered though that the flesh is extremely fragile. It rips and tears with ease resulting in a large amount of blood flow. Our researchers are hoping to find a way to surpress this flaw."
-stops there and closes the book- This village is where we first started. -walks over to a strange seal on the wall and bites my finger letting a small drop of blood fall on it. It spreads over the seal and the wall seperates revealing a large lab- When our experiements first started the lab was about half this size. We were injected with any possible substances they could find at that time. Breed together like animals. Finally they succeeded in making both a male and female of our kind.

picks up the book with the brand in it and turns to it, I examine the brand
You said two seals right?

-nods- Yes. The couldn't have their weapon thinking on her own. "She has to be controlled if she is to be of any use to us." -grimaces bitterly glaring at the ground-

Strange, I see four seals here
stares at the book with cold eyes

That's because there are four original seals already placed on the branding. -walks over you pulling my hand over your shoulder pointing to two blank spots on the branding- Here and there they placed to extra seals. They made sure I was completely under their influence.

interesting....those four will only take 4 days to remove for me, but as I do not know what the other two look like, I do not know how long it would really take, they might even be special marks that will kill you if only one is removed instead of both at the same time

looks like I am looking at the book

-sighs and unties the slash around my waist turning around and lowers my shirt showing you my branding ((Spoiler 1))- There.

I see a total of 8 seals. nearly impossible to remove alone, 5 seals need to be removed at the same time, hmmmm......... I see............the removers need to know absolute chakra control or you die, you will need 5 shinobi of great power to remove these seals,.........no........ you will need 8, my mistake
looks at nothing now

-pulls my shirt up once more and ties the slash back around it and sighs- Basically impossible. I stopped hoping a long time ago.

Such a sad existence
eyes look slightly down for a second then returns to looking cold again

-glares at you and says sharply- I don't need your pity.

I do not give anyone pity
eyes still cold looking at nothing
showing pity or mercy is a sign of weakness

I do not consider my existance sad. Just misunderstood and challenged. I am still a powerful being. I just have more obstacles within my way than others. -keeps a hard gaze on you-

Slightest smile on my face
you are quite a resiliant woman then. You got quite the strong characteristics of the last Mizukage

Hmph. I do not compare myself to anyone. I am my own person. I'm not out to please anyone. I am out to become strong enough to overcome any obstacles thrown in my way.

slightly frowns
I liked the last Mizukage, you two have many similarities and some great differences
She was one of the greatest Shinobi you could ever know, only one female to ever challenge me and win. I am a Shinobi warrior, A challenge of any kind must be met head on

Female...male..they are only titles given to members of the opposite sex...together we are all still warriors. I was merely stating that you should never compare one to another. True I am probably not the warrior that the last Mizukage was, but that doesn't mean that we are not all shinobi together. And as shinobi we are all equal. We all understand what it means to put your life on the line to fight for what you believe in. Those who claim to be shinobi but are not willing to die for what they feel is right do not deserve to claim the title shinobi.

You are willing to die for what you believe in? That is quite admirable, many shinobi follow that code, some of them turn out to be cowards, I can tell you are quite admirable
slightly smiles
Akina..........I actually enjoy our little talks, you have quite the wisdom I have not seen in a long time

-smiles back- Yes...it has been a while since I talked to such as powerful and wise warrior like yourself as well. I'm glad to have someone who shares my views.

I am hungry now, I am going to get food bye
flickers away slightly smiling

Goodbye. -flickers out as well-

-flickers in and sighs walking to the bathroom getting in the shower-

-flickers in eating my ice cream and walks over to my bed laying down on it-

I wonder what my fiance is up to? -stands up and flickers out-

-flickers in- anyone here?

-flickers in laying down on my bed staring at the ceiling-

whats wrong

Nothing. Thinking. That's all.

ok then what u up tu?

Thinking about things. You?

nuthing much just fighting princess

-laughs- You have fun with that.

I am shes kicking my ass

-smiles sitting up- I'd imagine so. Princess is an excelent fighter.

I can really see that
