Dray sat up in his chair of the abandoned house he had found. A house that had now become his as he had modified it to his taste using his natural ability and some equipments he had found in the basement workshop. Dray had spent a couple of weeks in iwagakure no sato and he was getting familiar with the village as each day passed though he did not attach himself too much to the village for reasons unknown to him.
When he was kidnapped and had his memories ripped away, he did not even remember that he was a member of the senju clan or that he could perform any jutsus not until recently when he started going to the iwagakure library. He found a large and interesting scroll talking about the concept of shinobi hood. Dray took time to read this scroll until he nearly understood every bit of it. Some days after that did he feel some weird changed in his body and upon opening his mouth, water flushed out as he had unknowingly performed the water trumpet technique. A few others of his previous techniques resurfaced even though he did not remember learning or using anyone of them. He just put them doing in a book detailing how they started, how they worked and what they did. Most of them were as a result of him practicing random hand seals that he had seen in the concept of shinobi hood scroll and their results were so amazing.

The weirdest of what had happened to him since his life changing event was the fact that he suddenly found branches of wood growing out from himself. "The hell is this.." was his first reaction even though his face looked between calm and confused. He went back to the iwagakure library but he could not find anything on this new development. The library had been able to give him enough details on water releases and earth releases which was what he seemed to possess at the moment but wood? He did not know what to think if it was amazing or if it was not. Adding to this strange discovery was the fact that he seemed to be able to control vegetation with his mind alone and for this reason, he watched what he did with his hands in publics, what he thought of and what he wished for.

He had tried to let the village know that he meant no harm to it or it's citizens. Even though no one had confronted him, he still felt that it was right to let the village know that he had no bad intentions and he had decided to help the village in whatsoever way he could. All through the morning as he walked to the iwagakure no. Sato library and back home, he kept hearing strange rumours of some animals attacking the villagers at the town entrance but none of these rumours were justified so dray just minded his own business and went home. Now, as he sat in his arm chair, one which he had personally made with woods from the basement work shop and equipments too, he thought about the possiblities of the rumours being true and he just could not get over it. He decided to check the situation out in the morning now that he knew he could well defend himself with his new discoveries and even this act would probably earn a bit of trust from the iwagakure people.
Dray turned in for the night early. It was only abouth eight. o' clock in the evening when he slept. It was for no exact reason that he slept early. He just believed that the body itself needed to be kept fit not through exercises alone, sleeping was also a major part of the body's development.
His newly found liking to studying new things had improved as each day passed by. He not only read scrolls about shinobi hood, the basic elements or village systems but he had also advanced to learning about the body itself through some medical ninjutsu scrolls that dwelt in the library.
More and more knowledge did he acquire everyday.

Another bright morning it was for a young unknown senju male. The night had been calm and fair due to the beautiful ventilation in the abandoned house or rather in dray's home.
He had work to do this morning. It was not a compulsory work rather it was a voluntary mission. Dray was going to check out the animals that were said to have been attacking the villagers at the village gates. If it was true and if he succeeded, he would probably get some trust from the villagers. He did not exactly crave for their care or attention, he only needed them to believe that he had no bad intentions towards the village by helping the villagers.
Dray got out of bed and headed to the bath room. He took a quick shower and came out to dry himself with a broad and soft grey towel. He proceeded to dress up as he slipped on his trousers over his black boxers, an inner vest and then a long shirt. All these wears being the only ones he had and always wore. He picked up basic shinobi projectiles which consisted of his kunais, shurikens, senbons and the likes of them. He checked to see if all was well before leaving home but before that, he had a quick breakfast of something that would hold him for the morning. Breakfast was a vital part of the day.

Dray headed towards the village gates that were south of the abandoned house- his home. As he got closer, the surroundings were scantier. Perhaps, the rumour was true.
Once he got to the gate, he lightened his steps, he knew some animals had a great sense of hearing and smell too but even though he did not know what he was dealing with, he applied the greatest caution he could. He stepped out of the village gates but still, there was no visible sign of danger. Laying on the floor beside him was a boulder of stone, something to befit the village's name and with a single touch, dray shared a bit of his chakra with the stone boulder for he knew it would come in handy against a sneaky opponent. Just then, he perceived something though he was not yet sure what it was that he perceived. He had a great sense of perception and this thing was just too close to escape his range. Hide and seek was over as that was definetly the message these savage animals passed onto him as they came in a pack of five and began circling him. This was a brilliant strategy, cornering and pouncing on their prey like how a cat pounces on a mouse. Not only had dray looked into the ninjutsu part of shinobi hood but he was also aware of the kuchiyose path. The path that granted a shinobi the ability to summon whatever animals they made a contract with. This led to dray's study of various animals and here before him were a pack of coyotes. Dog like animals that had gone savage. It was a pity they picked on the wrong person. Only if they could listen and understand words, then dray would have spoken to them but such was not the case. Their eyes showed that they were confident, that they had locked in their kill but there was something about dray. He had learned to change faith... From nothingness, he developed a new quote, one that would become his forever and that will stick to everything around him...

"DEAD BONES SHALL RISE AGAIN FOR I ZENNYO RYUO SHALL CHANGE THEIR FATE!!!"

The look in his face showed truth but it portrayed fear to the animals. They took a step back but dray's heroic moment was over and they had regained their confidence. They seemed to communicate with each other somehow and with a leap of grace into the air, they attempted to pounce on dray. Preparing earlier for the unseen, dray replaced himself with the stone boulder he had earlier shared his chakra with and after the poof of smoke, the coyotes found themselves biting on a boulder of stone. Those sharp teeths might have gone blunt, who knows.
Let me keep you busy, dray thought.. Performing the required hand seals quickly, dray slammed his hand onto the earth and three mud wolves would form from the earth. This was a very useful technique because the wolves had all characteristics of natural wolves in the sense that they had teeth and claws of cause for biting and scratching but one thing that made them unique was their ability to reform after taking a hit so as long as the user feeds them with chakra, they could fight forever.

As dray's mud wolves stood before him and ready to attack on his command, the coyotes also seemed to communicate with each other as they took a three forward, two back formation such that three coyotes were standing at the front while the other two were standing backwards between the three coyotes but just then, the first coyote at the back took a step to the left and stood directly behind the one in front so it could be hardly seen. The second coyote at the back did the same thing as it took a step to the right and hid behind the one in front so it could be hardly seen. Dray analysed what they were doing and he figured out that they were trying to convince his mud wolves into thinking that there were only three targets. Dray smiled inside of himself though his face was as calm as usual as he commended the coyote's strategy. The battle line was drawn, the drums of war started beating and the bells of danger were jingled.. The coyotes started in dray's direction as they advanced in their numbers though only three of them were visible. Their strategy was so perfect that the other two coyotes at the back were closely running in the first one's shadows that they avoided being seen. Dray released his mud wolves as he let them do what they knew how to do best. He unleashed the beast and watched them swing into action. He stood on alert ready for anything and with a few inches to impact between both animal parties, they coyotes jumped into the air as the mud wolves instantly did the same. Their eyes were locked unto the target and with numerous strikes from each other, both animal parties fell to the ground to continue their fight but in that moment that they were falling down, the last two coyotes that were hiding behind had also jumped upwards but they weren't striked down by the mud wolves and as such, they jumped over the fighting parties and now, it was them versus dray as the mud wolves and other coyotes were busy dealing with each other.

With another hand seals, dray raised up flattened objects from the floor, all of them being about ten in numbers as he hurled them at the charging coyotes. They did very well to block the projectiles but they were too busy to notice dray throw some kunais towards them and attach his chakra strings to them. Having a great sense of perception themselves, they were still able to dodge the kunais but dray was one step ahead of them and seeing that they dodged the kunais with such speed and reaction, he used the chakra strings to draw back the kunais as he stuck three kunais in the neck of the first coyote and he managed to safely place one in the second coyote's side but that was not enough to stop the coyote. It still managed to charge towards dray. Dray kept calm and left the stupid coyote to attack a defenless target or so it would think. Dray put himself in the coyote's shoes and thought of what he would do if he was the one faced with a defenless opponent. He would want to take the advantage, that was sure but still, he would think of other hidden traps but the coyote's lack of knowing this would cause it a brutal death.
Dray looked forward and saw the first coyote whimper and finally die with three kunai's stuck to it's neck as blood would soak it's furs. It was a painful death but not as painful as the one this stupid brown one would suffer. As they coyote got within a five metre radius of dray, he did not want himself stained in blood so that distance was perfect. As the coyote covered one metre and was now four metre in radius away from dray, dray expelled a minute chakra of doton into the ground as he stamped his right foot unto the ground. This action would cause cone shaped spikes to emerge out of the earth in their numbers and skewer the coyote. The locations that would be puncture would be so much that the animal would not even have a last minute to breath as death would quickly take it away.

Now, it was dray and the remaining coyotes. Dray would whistle as the mud wolves would retreat and sink into the earth. They had done quite a good job in exhausting their opponent's energy making it easier for dray to finish them off. The coyotes also retreated as they spread out in an arc planning their next move.. What a beautiful arc shape, dray thought and bringing his hands upward, he would perform the RAM- OX- BOAR hand seals as about ten earth missles would surround him. The coyotes were ready to play and so was he but this time, it was in twos. Two coyotes started at dray as they bagan running in a zig zag manner. They ran as if they were weaving something making it hard for dray's eyes to follow but he was more than that. All he did was fix his eyes on the center, calculating when they aligned together and weaved. That was all he needed. It took him some thime to figure it out as the coyotes were about two metres away from him now. They crossed another metres and they were this close to striking dray down with double claw strikes but pin pointing their alignment, dray sent all twelves missles at a calculated time as they met their target once they aligned and blew them up. The explosion wasn't enough to kill them instantly but what would happen when their intestines were blown out, it was death for them within a minutes or two.

The battle was a fair one now, between one and one. Dray needed not use much chakra but this one looked like the boss. How brilliant it would be to capture it and take it back to where it would be looked at in the village by higher authorities. Capturing was dray's mission now and he had just the best jutsu to do so. As the savage animal charged towards him, his speed seemed to have increased probably due to the fight that he felt rage, the death of his companion, perhaps this animal had feeling? No. If it had, it would not have terrorized the villagers. Performing the hand seals for the four pillar prison technique, dray channeled his mokuton chakra through the earth as four solid pillar rose beneath the last coyote and imprisoned it with bars forming on each side. The prisoned animal ran from side to side looking for a way out but there was none for it was caged. Using another one of his discovered ability, thick vines of plants grew from inside the prison as they fastened themselves around the coyote's front and hind lims. Dray put down the prison as he dragged out the animal. With a vine attached to his hands, dray dragged the helpless animal into the village as those vines weren't something he could eat up finish due to how much were wrapped around it.
