Another meeting![Private][invite only][NK] Demon_10
The young male rushed walking fastly towards his next destination, the legendary hotsprings. He only heard rumors, but supposedly these hotsprings are the finest there are, upon hearing those rumors, the young Uchiha rushed towards these supposed hotsprings, he was so excited even though he just got in the village, it was only a second ago that he stepped into the land of stone, and he was already roaming, he was always an outgoing kid, shy at times, but mostly friendly, he wondered how his first true friend was as he roamed the village, searching for her, alongside the legendary hotsprings, he borrowed a picture of he from the office's back in Kirigakure, but that was all that he could have of her, of course no reply was pleasant, they haven't heard or seen this girl, indicating that she might have not come to the land of stone.


Izanami saddened by the results of his search continued his walk to the hotsprings asking people for directions, looking around, luckily some people did notice his blindness, and avoided him, and some just bumped into him, he had to apologize for the thirtieth time today, he was looking for a close by hotsprings but it seemed he roamed the whole village, and before long he reached the hotsprings, the scent of the place was amazingly relaxing and refreshing.


One his way Izanami faced the usual trouble, bumping into people, trees, and tripping over, he sadly was not used to being blind and so he had to get used to it, he would train later, but for now this was all that he could manage, one his way he bumped into a child dropping his ice cream, Izanami apologized and tried to pat his head as he searched for it with his hand, he then gave him his wallet instead of a bill, if it wasn't for the boy's parents Izanami wouldn't have been capable of enjoying what he was hoping to enjoy.


Izanami was saddened without doubt, but he pushed his sadness and worries to the back of his head, otherwise they drag him down, it was a difficult thing to do, his first true friend was always on his mind, he was worried about her, he prayed she'd be fine, but for now all he could was pray.


The young blind boy smiled as he bowed greeting the owners , or so he thought but he was really bowing before a wall designed with colorful roses he can never see, the owners apparently where running the business of their clan's specialty, they are heirs to this hotspring or so their words spoke cheerfully. The man and woman where both in their thirties or so it seemed, one was named Kazuto, and the female, his wife was named Iroha, he spoke to them with his usual gentleness and kindness, singing their praises and the sweetest of words to  the two, sincerity in his tone. They offered Izanami his first stay to be a free one, Izanami hesitated politely but he in the end complied as they insisted.


He changed his clothes, and followed the scent of the hot boiling water as faint as it was, and as he stood in front of the two doors, he would assume all men's bathing area were to the right door, or so he mostly read and saw prior to the loss of his vision, and accidentally he  entered the girls' bathing area, the females in there had their eyes  wide open as they screamed “Pervert!!!” he apologized as he was struck with water buckets of wood, and before long as they surrounded the boy's semi-corpse they noticed his slightly opened eyeless sockets he forcefully opened, some didn't and some did, and as they tied the boy to a rock they questioned him, and his actions, he swore and proved to them that he was blind, aside from that he appeared as an alluring male, slightly girly with his long hair, but  a fair white skin, was most notable oto the females, the females insisted his stay in their area and spoke of it as okay with him being blind and all, and he honestly couldn't help but blush, true he was blind  but he was still a boy, and they were still girls, they apologized and some didn't as they reacted normally, how would they know he was blind? Or so was their excuse, it wasn't an excuse, more like a truthful natural reaction really, he apologized and spoke as gently and kindly as he did everyone, the girls loved his cute gentle kind words and personality, and insisted his stay, while some rebelled although were struck into silence by his kind words, still he had to leave, he was guided to the men's bathing area and happily and comfortably sat there, with his smile stretching his face he let his body sink till water reached his chin, such a wonderful night, and such wonderful people, but venturing alone was something he will surely not do alone, at least not in  hotsprings.

~ Yesterday ~
The sun had set a few hours ago and yet it was at this time that Fukai returned from his solitary training. Being by himself was good for his focus but it sure was boring. He had met so many new people recently, each turning out to be stranger than the last. He had decided recently that exploring the world would be something to aim for. The ultimate adventure, the genin smiled. To be truly honest with himself, he was slightly afraid of what was out there. Never once had he been outside the land of stone and he was intimidated by the unknown. Sure, he had read history books and the like, but that cannot compare to experiencing something yourself. So that is what his recent efforts have been about. Fukai remembered that adrenaline pumping encounter with Zennyo, the mysterious man that had turned on him and attacked him for no reason in the dead of night. That had been a thrillingly dangerous experience with someone that had come from another place. From then on the genin had started to imagine the people and adventure that could be awaiting him in the distance.

The young man headed back to his residence in the Fantomusodo compound. Weaving through the alleyways, he took a shortcut that lead behind a few of the meeting houses. Amidst the twilight he heard someone arguing in a raised voice. It was coming from the meeting house that also emmitted a little ambient light. The voice quietened down a few seconds later, but Fukai was curious. Domestic desputes are taboo in the public clan rooms, and it didn't sound like the average daily exchange of words. The genin crept up underneath the window and listened in. You won't guess what that brat has done now. He's made us present all of our assets in a big inventory to him. Like the bloody whelp has any idea of the stock that I hold in the shady part of town. I just know he'll mess everything up for us. Fukai's brow creased. He knew this was coming, yet the strength of the hatred that had built up already shocked the young man. They were talking about the new clan head, Karumo. Fukai supported his friend and trusted his actions, these men just represented the old criminal roots of Iwa. They were trying to secure their ill gotten wealth despite the reforms the new blood had bought in. Fukai sensed rocky seas ahead. It wasn't long until the meeting was adjourned and the hidden man overheard the plan to meet again at the hotsprings the next day.
_____________

He had not been able to sleep much that night. Fukai was an observant young man and had noticed the brewing trouble, yet the raw viciousness of those words last night hat been a shocker. He wasn't one for gossip but he decided that this was his business and that he should keep an ear open. Stepping up the pace and glancing from side to side to make sure he wasn't noticed, he poked his nose inside. Nobody that he recognised was there. Hiding his giveaway purple eyes, the large male dumped some coins on the counter and walked passed the reception. If the man and woman behind the counter were to see that he was of the same clan as the others, they may say something to give him away. Fukai generally wasn't the sneakiest of ninja, but push had come to shove.

He undressed in the locker room, changed his hair and wrapped a towel around it. He then would exit to the back where the males were bathing, spotting the group of his clan. It was three elderly men, huddled and talking softly. Fukai entered the second pool so that he could get close without facing them. He sat still, slowing his heart and willing himself to overhear something important. After a few minutes without any luck, a newcomer to the baths trotted in. Fukai barely noticed him until he entered the pool right next to the elderly group. The three old men made some sideways comment at the new guy and left. Ahh damn. Fukai was pretty disappointed that the opportunity had been missed. He wasn't going to glean any more info today, he may as well enjoy the dip since he had paid for it. Hi there, how's it going. He said to the young man in a courteous manner. Fukai noticed his eyes didn't seem to focus on anything in particular, guessing he was blind.

Another meeting![Private][invite only][NK] Demon_11


It was extremely pleasant. He was enjoying his time, a couple of old men left as he tripped his way to the water. He enjoyed the hot water as his body sunk in ecstasy, he would feel his body float as if he was atop a cloud, he was extremely relaxed. Izanami would hear movement in the water, the person spoke with the voice of a male, Izanami would think the boy approaching to be of his age but was unsure, but he was definitely a male, the guy spoke in courteous manner, Izanami smiled gently and replied “Hello there! I'm doing well, thank you. It's nice to meet you, my name is Izanami, Uchiha Izanami. What's yours?”



Izanami was... If a word can describe him, he would be best described as pleasant. Gentle and kind to everyone, his tone, his body language, his expressions, the way he spoke his words, the way he seemed to be your lifelong friend even you hated him, he would be there by your side, loving you and caring for you, hurt him, rob his happiness or his vision from him, he'd still wish you safety, he'd still care about you and wish you the best. As a ninja with such a  loving heart he was told over and over, he would not survive long if he remained kind and gentle towards everyone, he would reply  by foolish naive words:



Everyone deserves a chance, no matter how horrid their acts, everyone is lonely and afraid on the inside, I want to help them smile, I hope I can make everyone as happy as  they could be, to create a world full of smiles, and cheerful laughter .




These were his true, honest thoughts, and he was an Uchiha. Izanami smiled overjoyed to meet someone but he was still sinking in the pleasures of this hotspring, he focused slightly feeling the boy's chakra, it was rather warm, yet powerful in its on way, the boy's voice itself held  an amazing spirit to it, he truly did enjoy the boy's company even though they merely just began.Izanami asked the man if he was a shinobi, his movements in water were more subtle than the rugged of others'. Izanami smiled as he spoke once again with his eyes still closed “Let's play or do something! I am really happy to meet you, will you be my friend, it has been so long since I made a friend, my first friend is currently  missing...” He spoke ever so cheerfully but as he mentioned Tenmei his tone shifted to a sobbing one.
He then shifted back to his cheerful tone and spoke ever so gently “How was your day today?” He spoke gently and in a caring tone, he actually did care, Izanami was having fun, it's been a while since he did. Izanami thought even more about his new friend's voice, but it was slightly different, Izanami wasn't really sure the person was of his age anymore, it was really confusing since Izanami was a newbie in this business of hearing and guessing, upon a better judgment was his voice indicating that he was older than Izanami? The blind boy was unsure.
Whatever it was the male was reserved or so Izanami guessed from his tone, he could also 'feel' it but was unsure, but he asked himself: was this man taller than him? Indicating from the man's voice so was what he guessed, as a blind boy he could only guess, and he could only guess so much .

The young Izanami let himself float on his back on the water relaxing and letting his body go to sway as the waters pleased, pleased with this meeting of a new friend, and so he smiled his gentle smile as he floated, he then spoke “Are you new here like me? Or are you from Iwagakure? I just arrived, the people of Iwa are so lovely, I like it here” Izanami gave the man slight bits of information about himself, Izanami wasn't hiding anything, he just never did have anything to hide, nor did he liked it, it would feel like betraying people around you, at least to him it would, the young male continued his conversation with the man and spoke of where he had come from “The land of the mist or water? Kirigakure, The people there were lovely as well but were slightly edgy too, BUT still they're very good  people and they're noble!”

Fukai was a little annoyed at his failed attempt at surveillance, it was a missed opportunity that could have uncovered some juicy secrets. He would definitely have to keep his ear to the ground from now on, this situation was starting to look troubling. The best case scenario was that there was a little unrest in the clan, something that will soon settle down once things get back to normal and only temporarily affect trade and other such things. These things would be resolved simply with the addition of time. The worst case on the other hand, was the possibility of an uprising or coup. If the situation was that bad then there was surely trouble ahead. A coup with enough support could implode the entire clan and have a massive effect on the village around it. That was the sort of force that could plant the seeds of deep seated racial hatred into the village. History books are filled with numerous cases of just this happening. The young man worried for his heritage but had not much of an idea or plan as to what to do about it. The new arrival replied to his greeting.

Hello there! I'm doing well, thank you. It's nice to meet you, my name is Izanami, Uchiha Izanami. What's yours?
It's lovely to meet you Izanami, you can call me Fukai. Uchiha... now that was a name bathed in blood. A name that has had a long history of troubles, some of them were like the ones that troubled the white haired man now. Despite his name, the young male that shared the tub with him seemed all kinds of happy. It was the kind of genuine happiness that couldn't be faked, the kind that contrasted greatly with the backdrop of misery that the ninja world often painted.

Let's play or do something!
Fukai watched, slightly exasperated as the new guy's face changed from over the top joy to to a sunken depression. This kid really has no filter, must not be a shinobi. Fukai had been taught that a good ninja will surpress every emotion to make sure that nothing distracted them. While he himself did not comply to this teaching, this guy was something else. How was your day today? Ahh not too bad, thank you. All the same, Fukai couldn't help but smile at Izanami's friendlyness. The young man was a little bit younger than him and his hair almost looked blue in the glare of the sunlight. His eyes stared through him in a way that confirmed his supsicion of the males blindness. It must be hard for him in a world such as this. Looking around, Fukai could not see any sort of minder that was there to help him. Izanami leaned back in the water and floated up a little, his lower half coming dangerously close to surfacing. Not that this bothered him in the slightest.

Are you new here like me?
He realised that he wasn't adding much to the conversation and tried to be a little more social. Being on his own for large periods of his life had rendered him a little useless in social settings. Nono I've been here in the village for half of my life, I know Iwa well. She is a beautiful place during the day, when the light wipes away her shadows. Fukai continued in a pleasant tone but could not help but let a little of his troubles slip into his words. And where might you come from. You sure don't look like a local. He sure didn't look like the person that would survive an evening stroll down an Iwa alleyway. The young man sung the praises of Kirigakure, the village hidden in the mist. Fukai was surprised at this, the kid had come a long way. Did you travel all this way by yourself? Fukai was instantly curious about his new companion. He had wanted to travel himself and if a blind boy could do it, maybe his fear of what was out there was unfounded.

So what did you want to do today? I could show you around or.. you said something about a game? He decided that maybe he would hang out with Izanami for the day.

Izanami was enjoying his stay in the hotsprings with the man he was conversing with, it truly is enjoyable, it's been a while since he spoke to someone like this, for the four weeks after the incident in which he lost his eyes in, devastatingly living eyeless, blind to the colors that once lit his world, blind to the faces that surrounded him, before his loss he thought he was lonely, but that loneliness cannot compare with the huge loneliness he now feels, in the first days he was struck aghast, his world was dark, black one cannot imagine the terrible darkness one can experience. He used to see, the sun setting in the horizon, the rain droplets bursting to thousands, the person walking their pet, the person cooking with finesse and the dancer dancing with grace, the beautiful complexity of colors colliding with one another, reading, writing, enjoying an amazing picture a drawing, seeing the smiles of others, enjoying the blue of the ocean and the white of clouds, and the glow of the moon, the beauty of people, he couldn't see, he no longer can witness any of those, if a miracle does occur, and he does gain his eyesight back which he is not expecting, how would he know the people he met, he wouldn't, if he did know a name he would search for them, but still it would be his first time seeing them, if they passed him while strolling down the streets he might pass by them not knowing them unless they approach him

He's scared. . .

He is afraid of the things he cannot see, people are afraid of what they do not know, the whole world became a stranger to him, one can say, Izanami died a little. . . .

He's sad. . .

He was alone, to Izanami the world was blank now,  people did exist, but they also didn't to him, Izanami was merely a boy sitting there with his legs up  hugging them to his chest, in a world of eternal never ending blackness, there he sat alone, crying from within.

He was miserable, yet he. . .


He smiled as he nodded as the man thanked him for asking about his day, he swam around enjoying his time, he kept all dark crippling thoughts in the back of his head as he raised his head, he would laugh slightly and speak three words “This is fun” he spoke cheerfully yet gently with his peaceful tone, he seemed so happy, yet his smile was heartbreaking, the sadness it hid, Izanami was not hiding his sadness, but he was denying it, he thought, sure he lost his eyesight, sure it tortures him, but people out there suffer much more horrible sad things, he hoped not, but it was true, he shouldn't be selfish and smile.



The man asked Izanami conversing with him quite nicely, after speaking of the beautiful Iwagakure, the land of stone, Izanami could imagine his words lighting up Izanami's darkness regardless of how small that light was, Izanami's face lit up with happiness as his smiled widened at the descriptive mention of Iwagakure's beauty. The man's question was plain and simple, it was completely obvious to everyone that looked at him even if it was a glance, Izanami is blind, upon realizing that he might have found it slightly shocking for a blind man to travel all be their lonesome self, but sadly he was not so amazing that he could sniff out his road and actually reach his destination, Izanami spoke the truth, even though he wanted to show off and appear as an amazing person “I wish I was that awesome, but I only walked up to a crew of people that had their own wagon that they travel with, I helped them with a couple of things and they let me ride with them, they were headed to Kumo and so on their way they dropped me over here, it was a fun trip!”

The man spoke  politely and in the same manner he did, he was respectful, and had the noble aura of Kirigakure's people, or so he thought, of the man Izanami did. The man would ask Izanami about what he would like to do today, kindly offering his help to guide Izanami around, Izanami smiled as his face lit up with happiness once again speaking with excitement “Fukai thank you you're amazing you're the best” he spoke so cheerfully and as he tracked him by his voice he tackled him into the water while laughing happily, he then began swimming all around looking for a way out of the water, and then turned to wall thinking it was Fukai, he spoke “Fukai!I can't get out!”His voice was always calm and 



After Getting out and funnily so, Izanami rushed outside smiling gently, he spoke once again “Thank you, sorry I might have acted childish...” he paused and then continued “Alright take me to the best restaurants out here, my treat.” He smiled, Izanami was slightly complex, no matter how cheerful he was, his voice was always calm, and not loud either.

Izanami had many troubles, his kidnapped little sister, his friend disappearing, and his search for Ukiyo she whom had taken his eyes, he wanted to.... Pat her head and care for her,  he remembers her expression when she attacked him, torn apart, saddened, as if she was emotionally scarred, he had already forgiven her, and wanted to stand by her side and ease her pain, if taking his eyes cheered her up, he was glad, he didn't hate her, not one bit, Izanami was a boy that vanquished hatred.

And while weak and fragile, during a fight, he was not one to be taken lightly, he was powerful, even without his eyes, but not as powerful, he spoke to his friend sensing the pain residing in his voice “Fukai are you okay? It may sound strange coming from someone you've met today, but.. I'm here for you, just as you are now, you don't have to be alone anymore, I am your friend~” He finished his sentence with his gentle heartwarming smile.



Izanami was lonely, he sensed loneliness, Izanami was  for a long time, capable of sensing other's pain, from a look or from a word, Izanami sensed and eased that pain,while he was younger than most of the people he met, he always encouraged them and stood by them, and for an unknown reason he always seemed like an older kind gentle brother.

Izanami started singing Fukai's praises after the offer of a tour. This guy is something else Fukai thought. He is completely blind yet seems to have compete confidence. He is alone, yet still manages to smother me in innocent joy and kindness. It seemed like the young man in front of him came from a completely different world. Fukai had never met anyone quite like him. The genin prided himself on his good judgement of character, he could tell this kid was completely genuine. What's more, Izanami, who looked a few years younger than him, had the courage to travel with complete strangers across the land. Sure, he didn't go alone but it's not like travelers didn't get ambushed every other day by scavenging packs.

Hey, no problem. You sound like a cool guy- Whaaah! His new companion lunged at him, grabbing him as they both fell into the water. Fukai had let his guard down in the bath house, thinking he would be safe from any attack. He was wrong. The two splashed around as their heads returned to the surface. The purple eyed male couldn't help but let a little giggle go at the attack. After a while, Fukai spoke. Alright. Shall we make a move? Fukai! I can't get out! He held out his arm and touched the shoulder of the kid. Here, take my arm. He helped the blind male out of the water and to the changing rooms.

Thank you, sorry I might have acted childish..
The genin smiled and tussled his new friend's hair. Don't worry about it. He had been an adult for a while now, and lived quite a straight and serious life. His new company felt like a pleasant breeze. Izanami mentioned that he wanted to see the best restaurant, Fukai returned with Well let's see what we can find, shall we? The two got changed, the genin fitting back on his grey and brown casuals and coiled his red scarf around his neck. The pair then proceeded to start walking out of the bathhouse and down the street, Fukai offering his arm to his companion if he wanted it.

Fukai are you okay? ... I am your friend.
The genin continued to walk in silence for about ten seconds. He was struck by Izanami's words, they were words of great weight, especially to Fukai. The kid turned and smiled at him, showing his beautiful soul. After a while, Fukai replied. Well... Thank you Izanami, you are a very kind person. Anyone would be lucky to have a friend like you. He then lead the pair down the road, turning off into the main street.

The pair arrived at one of the eateries on the main street. Well, I've heard this place is good. Fukai then realised that the kid may not have any idea what he was talking about. This is a restaurant that specialises in beef and barbecue. Let's grab a seat. When they found an empty table towards the back of the place, Fukai would sit down and help Izanami if he needed it. He did feel a sense of kinship building between the two of them despite the small amount of time shared. I want to see the world.. I want to meet people and discover wonders. The older male was slightly embarrassed that he had blurted out his desires without any context. Well, you see, I've been meeting all these new and strange people. Many of them have travelled around and yet I have not even left this country my whole life. Fukai waited to see what his company would reply to this with, valuing his input greatly.

After apologizing to his new friend for acting childishly, he smiled  as his friend told him not worry about it, Izanami then spoke with his usual cheerful calm tone“You're a good guy Fukai” his words were followed by gentle giggles as he continued speaking trying to convince his friend of his words“See that rhymed, that means it's true!” or so spoke the young man ever so gently and innocently, Izanami continued to walk following his friend to wherever they were headed, and before long as they paced down the streets of the land of stone, as the breeze brushed against them, gently caressing their bodies with its gentle touch.



He thanked Izanami for his words, and spoke of how one can be considered lucky for having a friend like him, Izanami smiled as he continued walking, and reacted in a comedic manner “Oh stop it you're gonna make me blush” He laughed slightly as he threw his comment, he was having fun, enjoying his time with his friend, strolling down the streets together, bathing in the hotsprings together, and now they're gonna be eating together at this restaurant with the marvelous  scent of barbecue that had Izanami drool, Izanami rushed and wiped his mouth with his coat as he got in with his friend, Izanami reacted by nodding excitingly at every comment spoken at the time. 

As they sat facing one another, after helping him sit Izanami spoke “Thank you.” politely and gently, before long the pair would be approached by the waitress that began blushing and stuttering at the sight of Izanami, and perhaps his friend too, Izanami was without doubt more cute than handsome when it came to appearance. Silky white skin, and silky black hair with a blue tint to it, long eyelashes, broad shoulders, and a beautiful face, his eyes were an extra load of his beauty, but sadly they were robbed from him.

Izanami would whisper to Fukai in  a funny way saying “BEEF! BEEF! AND A STEAK!” not hesitating he whispered his beloved most favorite types of food to the friend sitting in front of him, they sat casually as they waited for their meals, but then his friend spoke if his dreams, opening up to the young Izanami, something that made him quiet happy, he enjoyed listening to him, the male was kind of sulking, or so Izanami thought, it appears he had wanted to travel the world and roam the skies of the shinobi world, something Izanami couldn't deny was a fun thing to do, Izanami smiled calmly as he spoke in reply with great consideration:

 “This country is nice, but travelling the world and learning new cultures visiting new places, new worlds does sound amazing, I myself love travelling, after my village was destroyed I became a Ronin, and I've had to travel all around, it can be scary and fun, but I believe you can do it Fukai! Someday when you're capable of it, let's travel the world together and have fun together! I really do believe in you Fukai, I believe you can do it, I mean I am blind and I did it, and it was so much fun, despite the scenes that I missed.... But still, let's travel together someday!I promise you we're gonna have tons of fun” Izanami spoke excitingly, happy with his idea.

He then spoke: “I am also looking for three people, my sister, my friend Tenmei, and the one that took my eyes, her name is Ukiyo, I want to introduce you to them, Tenmei is a cool girl with a cool personality, I can tell she suffered in her past, and she , I want to ease her pain, she's a good person you know! and then comes Ukiyo she's an amazing powerful S-rank, she's sooo beautiful just like Tenmei! But she looked so sad when she took my eyes, I want to someday pat her back and ease her pain, I would like to take away her pain, both her and Tenmei's they're both good people, but their pasts might have scared them, Ukiyo seemed like a really nice person, I wish I got to know her more, have you seen her by the way? I hope she doesn't think I am mad or anything I forgave her the moment she did it, I am sure she had her reasons! As for my sister... She's been kidnapped... I am searching for her, but I still have no lead... I hope she's alright”

He was nothing like an Uchiha, he was so forgiving, and although he spoke calmly, anyone can see the angel and cheerfulness in him, Izanami never hated, and he never will, he forgave, he did not care if he was destroyed by someone, he would seek to help the someone, despite how much it may damage him, he would bear all of the hatred, all of the sadness on his shoulders if it meant someone could smile. The boy had the world on his shoulders, his missing people, his mother in Kirigakure, the downfall of his village and friends, the death of his father, the loss of all colors in his world, the loss of his eyes, but still he smiled ever so brightly.

And what of the male before him, he was a dreamer, he wanted to soar the skies of the world, he had the soul of an adventurer just like Izanami, his voice held courage, ambition, and power, whether he was a genin a chunin or whatever rank the man was, his voice held power, potential, Izanami could only imagine a gallant hero, a dependable man, he helped Izanami to no end, he was not only strong, but he was also kind, secretly Izanami referred to the male he considered his new friend, a hero, they just met, Izanami knew nothing? He knew all that he ever needed to know, the kindness he sported to Tsuneo spoke to no end of his character, and the gallant, pride, and courage in the man's voice spoke of his potential and power, Izanami was a good judge of character, he knew his friend was no simpleton, and who doesn't have their own luggage in this day and age, everyone suffered,and everyone did in silence, Izanami wanted to remove all of that suffering, and so he spoke as he patted his friend's shoulder finding it luckily, he spoke “I'm glad I met you, Fukai” he then sat again with a smile on his face.

“I plan on removing all of your sadness too Fukai!”

The waitress had walked over and asked what they would like while throwing a few stutters. Fukai was bemused to see the woman blush so violently in response to talking to his friend. He grinned at the girl and waited for Izanami to order.
BEEF! BEEF! AND A STEAK!
The Uchiha boy had leaned over and whispered these words to him as if they were some deadly secret. Pffft! Fukai couldn't help but to let out a little air in response to the ridiculous kid. His companion seemed to have a strong sense of humour aswell, another trait that was not all too common in this world. He turned to the waitress and ordered. Yes, beef, beef and a steak please. Fukai smiled at the confused, red faced waitress as she scuttled back to the kitchen. He turned back to his company, feeling that they were bonding already and disclosed a few things. Izanami seemed to sense that the genin was seeking his council as he replied at length.

The young man told Fukai that he could travel and that he believed in him. Scary and fun, aye? Fukai smiled inwardly at the inhibitionless kid. Izanami then went on to suggest that they travel the world together. He said that it would be 'tons of fun'. He would have to agree that the idea of travelling, especially with one so delightful as this young man, sounded like a great adventure. Well, I would love to come with you to see the world. Fukai instantly regretting his choice of words but carrying on, hoping that Izanami wouldn't mind. But I have things tying me to this place, maybe one day when I become free I will join you. The idea made Fukai's horizon seem a little brighter.

The purple eyed young man thought about all the interesting people he had met recently. I wonder what types of people there are out there. I want to meet the powerful heroes of this world. During his childhood, he had been told tales of legendary shinobi that fought against the powers of evil. He knew now that real life wasn't quite like one of those tall stories and yet, he still wanted to meet the inspirations for these tales. As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Izanami said that he was also looking for a few people, mentioning two woman's names, one called Tenmei and the other called Ukiyo. He sung praises for both of the females, but it wasn't until he got to the end of his long speech that Fukai realised that this Ukiyo was the one who had taken his eyes. Being from a dojutsu clan, people seeking the eye power was something that was familiar to him. But usually, this meant that the people that sought to take the eyes of power were seen as the worst type of criminal. In the Fantomusodo clan, it was seen as a major dishonour to take eyes or have them taken. The loss of an eye was the mark of someone who had been defeated to an enemy without honour. Fukai had head of people taking their own lives after such an event.

Fukai was stunned at the kid's manner as he continued on, saying that he had forgiven her straight away. What? Someone took your eyes and you forgave them? Do you not seek to take back what is yours? You have not only been left blinded but also lost your dojutsu power. Only scum takes eyes, you shouldn't forgive them so readily. He didn't realise he had these feelings until he spoke them out loud, he realised that that they must be the product of the attitude of the clan that he grew up in. Fukai's words were not filled with the usual hate that his clans people had, they were just more or less recited from things he had been taught. He had assumed that the attitude was 'correct' as he had never encountered anyone with a different outlook. He became curious as to the young man's response, saying I'm sorry, that was a little intense. But surely you want to get your eyes back? Don't you want to see again someday?

He realised that the waitress had been standing there for a few minutes, the timid mousey woman quickly putting the meat onto the table between them and scurried away. Fukai didn't start, he was too interested in Izanami's response.

Izanami of course hadn't expected him to accept and travel right away, but gave the offer still, in order for the man to keep it in his head, Izanami would be most honored if the man, his new friend, ever wanted to travel together, it would only bring Izanami joy. Izanami heard the man wonder, wondering about types of people were out there, Izanami smiled finding the man's interest to be quite lovely, and so he replied“Well, there are all types of people Fukai, even types you never thought to exist, as I said travelling is tons o' fun, as for heroes, they're wonderful, like the Mizukage!” his smile remained as he gave a sweet answer to the man's question.

Izanami was absorbed in their conversation enjoying every second of it, Izanami had been alone for a long time, such a conversation, such meeting, it was all amazing to him, he considered himself lucky to have met Fukai and befriended him, Izanami was always a gentle boy, but people would use him, or trick him, and still he'd never hate them.

He then remembered to reply to the man's words and so he spoke cheerfully and sweetly“ Oh and Fukai it's okay, whenever you want to travel just umm, send me a letter, I'll come rushing, it's okay we all have responsibilities, and if you ever need help, do tell me, I'll make sure to support you however I can, y'know I am actually strong, really!” He spoke with a calm tone but anyone would digest his words as if he was a child trying to convince someone so helplessly and innocently, but that was the truth, Izanami was no weakling, he had embraced the arts of illusion.

Izanami was surprised at the man's reaction, actually loving it, and feeling sorry slightly for himself, but he then replied speaking gently and kindly, with great care and a nice choice of words, he gently spoke“Well... It's actually horrible. At first I was scared, very scared, and sad, the faces of people, the beautiful places, reading, drawing, playing tag or even kick the can, going to the toilet by myself, eating normally, seeing beautiful girls, seeing the beautiful sight of a dish, seeing the sky or even the oceans, to roam the city without getting lost, I miss all those, many people would take those for granted but not me, not now at least... I really want to see again, but.... If stealing my eyes, stealing is a bit strong, if taking my eyes, would make her smile, or make her happy, or at least help her no matter how little, then I'd be happy, if killing me makes her happy, I promise to let her do so if it saddens no one, and only after I save my little sister, I would gladly die for anyone's smile! I hope she's happy now though! I really wish her happiness”

He was pure, self-sacrifice, devotion, kindness beyond anything, the boy contained those, he would sacrifice every fiber of his existence for the smile of another person, he was the exact fine meaning of kind, but others would describe him as foolish.

The man was a dreamer indeed, and an adventurer, his heart seeks the freedom of the skies, he was brave, he indeed was, he was king and gentle, he was pure, he was angered as he heard someone had taken Izanami's eyes, to some this is a sign of dishonor, but really, just thinking about her being happy with his eyes, had Izanami truly full of joy, to him it was a sign of honor, besides how many fought an S-rank shinobi and still lived to tell the story, even if it was a one sided smack down, a fight is still a fight.

Izanami smiled, as he nodded when the man asked him if he ever wanted to see again, he nodded vigorously too, and as their plates were placed before them by the timid woman, a man beat down the door, as he and three others entered all armed with knives, they would demand everyone to discard their belongings, and not move a muscle, and it was then that Izanami had smiled once again, but this time his smile was a sad one, he reached for Fukai's shoulder,as he spoke quietly “Please! Leave this to me!Believe in me!”

Izanami did not hesitate, he would show Fukai the light in everyone's heart, and he would show Fukai his true strength, he patted Fukai on the shoulder begging him to not do anything, and leave the situation to Izanami.

Izanami's resolve was as clear as the blue skies and the light the sun shone upon the lands of earth, and he would stop this crime from occurring with his true power, he was a blind boy, but he was a capable blind boy, he was strong, he was far more powerful than his blind eyes spoke. He may have lost, but it was just the beginning to a new world of hope for him, Izanami would solve this, with what is truly called powerful.

This power was far more greater than anyone's, he would sport the most powerful power to ever be seen in this world, Izanami knew how powerful his power was, and he would use it, he may  have no eyes, but he could see far better than most with eyes, and he would show everyone how much he can see.

The genin listened to Izanami talk about losing his eyesight and what he had been disabled from doing. As he talked, Fukai listened, his purple eyes filling with sympathetic sadness. He cupped his hands and rested his elbows on the table. Then the Uchiha boy started talking about wishing the person who mutilated him happiness. This made him feel even worse. The situation was tragic and yet his companion was so upbeat, it truly touched something inside of him. Ukiyo. He would have to remember that name, should he ever meet her, Fukai would be sure to give her a piece of his mind. Izanami may be too good natured to care about himself, but he cared. Not just for his new friend but for the great discourse of justice that had happened. The young man may have completely forgiven her but Fukai would not. Not that he had any hopes of fighting an S rank ninja, the weak were trampled on in this world. The young man realised that this was another important reason for becoming stronger. Nobody would listen to some whiny baby, the strongest had the power to enforce their beliefs on others, right or wrong. There was a large amount of injustice in this world, it was simply a way of life. Fukai had lived with this fact for a long time and had not been bothered about it. But when it happened to someone so close to him, the strength of emotion that welled up was truly visceral. This was a new revelation about himself that Fukai had just come to terms with while hearing Izanami speak, he had never had people close to him for over a decade. But recently, that had all changed. He now had new friends to share this world with.

And he sought strength for their sake.

As the woman delivered the food and scurried away, four thugs swarmed into the room. The biggest and loudest of the group stomped over to a table and grabbed some poor young lady by the hair and held a knife up to her throat. Fukai didn't bat an eyelid. This wasn't an uncommon thing to happen in Iwakagure, he had been held up and assaulted by muggers a few times himself. That was just the law of the streets around here, you learned to keep your head down and mind your own business. Alright, now everyone line up and dump your valuables into this here bag. Don't try anything funny or lil miss here will get a new breathing hole. Izanami leaned over to whisper to Fukai to leave the situation to him. Fukai watched the boy, unsure about his intention but decided to trust him. If he had it his way, they would just give up their stuff and walk away from the situation. It wasn't that he was a coward or strong enough that he could easily deal with these four clowns. It was the fact that the criminal organisations were still a major force in this country. This was still a ninja village, thugs like this wouldn't live for very long without the protection of their leaders. Opposing them would make your life very uncomfortable. The young boy was new to Iwa, he may not know this and make a stupid decision but had said to trust him.

Fukai watched the gang that was holding up the restaurant. They did seem rough around the edges, organised operations were usually conducted more professionally. Also, this sort of action was rare on the main high street of the village. Maybe they weren't part of an organisation after all, just some filth that was baring an ugly head and trying to make something out of a crime of opportunity. If that was the case, the two young men should be alright. Fukai continued to watch the situation, his body was completely relaxed and ready for any outcome. His last two fingers curled around the staff that he had propped up against his chair when he sat down. A few little jumps of raiton wormed themselves around his arm, building up a static charge. He wished Izanami good luck for whatever he was about to do.

Another meeting![Private][invite only][NK] Mukuro


It was time before anyone moves, Izanami stood up facing the men, facing them with a smile, Izanami blew the left side of his coat as he sported out his sword , the men looked startled as Izanami elegantly drew his blade, a fine Katana sword of black and gold, with a very beautiful hilt of the same colors, the boy then placed his sword down in front of him horizontally, he then bowed a Japanese earnest bow as he begged with words like honey “Please I beg of you, leave these people be!” shocking everyone with his reaction to the whole situation, he continued begging “Please let us solve this peacefully, before the police comes and turn into a big problem, please re-think your ways, there is more to you than this I am sure, you may have been misguided by the world, but please-” interrupted by the strike of a bottle that was smashed on his head, the liquor would soak his head as his head bled, he looked at fukai and smiled as he shook his head, his friend was a gallant one, he would rip them apart for doing this to Izanami, but Izanami believed in his own strength.


The man yelled as he teared up he could feel the fear and sadness in his voice, Izanami could. The man yelled his words with desperation“Your tricks won't work on us, what should we do!?!?! what about our families, my daughter wanted an ice cream the other day, she begged me to buy it for her!!!I couldn't!!!! this is my only way of getting her to smile!!!” Izanami teared up and she his slight tears as he raised his head while facing the man, he then moved over to him detecting his location through his voice  as he hugged the man that began crying like a child, taking a chair he stood up, and with that he spoke




“I beg of you all, let's solve this peacefully!!! Please donate to this man, you all have heard it, wouldn't a situation such as this one hurt you!? he then bowed  with his head on the ground I beg of you everyone, let's save them!” Shocked and smiling at the kindness of this boy whom ignored his injury with the liquor that would burn him in an abhorrent way, he took the bag, and rushed around the restaurant, each and every single one donated with a smile, turns out there were ninja ready to take the man out, as the young Izanami gathered up to one fifty thousand Ryo from everyone, he rushed with the bag  leaving ten thousand of himself, and spoke “Here this is from me and my friend!” 


He would  give the teary eyed men, the amount should cover up most of their problems and let them  get a decent job, fifty thousand was no amount to be belittled. Izanami was thanked quite  a lot, but he handed the ryo he gathered as he drooled on how much he gathered, but he handed it to the men without a second thought.


Izanami would let his friend help if he had wanted to.


After  minutes the cops appeared out of nowhere, Izanami acted like a hostage and raised his hands, he opened his empty sockets and winked at the man as he snapped his fingers, mist began to cover the entire restaurant, no one was capable of seeing, but Izanami remembered the position of the policemen, and the door and where he stood, counting the steps he needed to reach it, he learned of how far was the door dependent on the steps, Izanami had been memorizing the amount of steps and their direction, he had a clear map in his head of how he should move to get to the door and so he moved to the sound of the men that attempted their failure of a crime, after  going to the desperate men and leading them out the door and returning to his place with extreme difficulty, he sighed as he place d his head on the table tired, and with that the mist faded, he had fallen over four times, memorizing doesn't appear to be his forte.


forgetting his wound he..


He sighed, tired he spoke “sorry Fukaiiii, I am tired... Let's eat!” the food wasn't as hot as it was but still contained a bit of its former heat, Izanami searched for the fork and the knife searching the steak slowly cutting it and trying not to feed his eye or nose, and with difficulty he continued to eat, but the amazing taste was far more than enough. Izanami smiled as he laughed at the whole situation, he cracked a couple of jokes to make his friend laugh, it was scary but exciting.


Izanami continued to eat with his friend , as they Izanami shared a few of his jokes, wanting to make his friend laugh, dumping away the serious situation and enjoying his time, they both ate and while he was throwing jokes hoping to make his friend laugh, Izanami hoped for his friend to be as  happy as he is with him, then Izanami spoke “I am so happy, I am glad I met you Fukai” a giggle as he continued “You're amazing and really kind!” he hugged fukai over the table and then spoke mischievously “now I'll wipe my hands with your hair!!!!!” a childish attack will his friend counter it?



Thankfully Izanami's illusions helped them this time, he truly did hope for their well being, and hoped they would never commit such acts again, they were merely desperate, hopefully they were given hope, Izanami was screaming like a girl and whining like a child from the burns of liquor and his bleed head.

Izanami laughed hoping his friend would with him, today was a fun day, but far from over it sure was Izanami asked with joy “Alright! So where to next my lovely friend Fukai!? Or are you busy?”



“Umm Fukai? Can you describe to me how you look like? Pretty please”

Izanami stood and showed the thugs one of his warm smiled. Fukai's arm twitched as he drew his sword. It was a fine weapon to be sure, he knew his stuff when it came to weapons and that piece was no toy. He grew anxious about his friends action. Don't move too suddenly, you'll get that poor woman killed. Was I right to trust him? The men started making a threatening growl in response to the movement. Quickly scanning the room, he could see this uncertain fear in the other occupants of the restaurant. The boy would then place the blade on the floor in front and bow down to the men.

Please I beg of you, leave these people be! A wave of awe flowed through the room. Both the muggers and the diners probably expected him to be some sort of upstart with a hero complex, trying to rescue the damsel in distress. But no, here he was with no considerable danger to himself, bending over to some common scum. One of the thugs roared in laughter at Izanami's display, striding over to him, grabbing a bottle from a table as he passed and then continuing to smash it over the poor boys head. Fukai was already halfway to the man, staff one metre from caving in the man's windpipe when he caught his friend's look, tinted blue hair turned purple with blood. A red tear ran down his head and into his right eye, then continued down his cheek. Fukai looked up and saw that a similar bead of blood was being drawn at the throat of the woman, his actions had startled the man that held her and had nearly been the end of her. He hesitated for a second and then slowly retreated to his seat. I'll trust him.

The robber who had assaulted Izanami was now yelling at Fukai and telling his friend to slit the woman's throat. The poor lady whimpered and the sound of twenty or so bleeding hearts went out to her. The young man on the ground had changed the atmosphere in complete, the diners and even a couple of the robbers were affected by his sincere display. The man that towered over the bowing boy and screamed at him in frustration about his failed responsibility to his family. Slowly the boy lifted his head and rushed forward and embraced the stranger in a hug. The man holding onto the woman forgot himself in surprise and she escaped to her family.

I beg of you all, let's solve this peacefully! It was a truly touching scene, a boy, a stranger to the country now begged the people around him in the restaurant to dip into their pockets and help the men that had previously sought them harm. Everyone in the room now listened to him, like a spell was cast on them. They were captivated by his complete resolve of good will and generosity, the robbers were taken aback. A heartless young man opened his mouth and started to refuse, but quickly changed his mind when he received a sharp jab in the obliques from a staff. Izanami then proceeded to take the bag off the petrified criminals and run around the room collecting from the diners. He even deposited a large amount himself. Fukai had never seen such a large amount of money before and judging by the large circular shaped eyes that the thugs now sported, he guessed that they hadn't either. Fukai 'encouraged' the less generous to cough up at least a little something.

There were a few voices yelling outside. It was the criminal defense squad of Iwakagure. So they are not part of a syndicate after all. Those crime syndicates had paid off most of the law and order authorities in the village and were usually nowhere to be seen when shady operations were taking place. The fact that they were here meant that the syndicates disapproved this action, it would probably prove bad for business. That is how desperate these men must have been as they all knew what serious consequences this sort of action had. As the defense squad invaded the room, Izanami threw his hands up and clicked. Mist covered the entire restaurant and clouded everything from sight. The squad started screaming as their perp's went missing. A few minutes later and a lot of jostling in the murk, the young Uchiha appeared back in his seat and the mist dissipated.

He looked fatigued and a little drowsy. No wonder, that mist jutsu looked pretty strong. Also that blow to the head seemed to have taken it's toll. It was apparent to Fukai immediately as the mist rolled in as to what his friend was trying to do. It would have never occurred to the genin to try to help out some 'lowlife'. The two of them were quite different, and the genin would definitely agree that Iza was the rarer breed. The criminal defense squad made an uproar after the mist had cleared but the two young men ignored them. Fukai smiled. Yeah, tuck into that meat, it'll make you feel much better. Here. He leaned over and wiped up most of the blood that had poured from his friend's wound.

The squad cronies noticed that the young male suspected of using the mist jutsu to help the thugs escape was still in the steakhouse. They strode over and called out to him. Just before they reached the table, Fukai stood up to intercept them, stretching himself out to his full height and puffing out his chest. He looked the male eye to eye, letting him realise he was opposing a member of the Fantomusodo clan before hitting with a potent dose of Phantom's Enervating Curse. The officer had set out to confront them but was now crumbling under the large man's will. Fukai spoke in a hushed tone, three inches from his face. Let him enjoy his meal. I think I can still hear those men in the distance, if you leave now you may be able to catch them. He didn't hear anything but was giving the man a way to retreat from the confrontation without losing face. Alright men, lets move out! The officer gladly took the opportunity and lead his squad out onto the street. His clan held some sway on the street, he had become suspicious lately that the clan may have deeper criminal ties than he had previously thought.

He sat back down silently, watching his jovial companion revel in his food and take the odd break to throw out a joke. Fukai laughed. He hadn't had such a good giggle since he was a kid. Fukai had been raised as a serious kid, a great pressure had been put on him to master weapon technique and to become a strong ninja. All of that pressure had ended abruptly when the 'incident' happened.  I am glad I met you Fukai. Izanami leaned over and outstretched his arms, Fukai met him half way and hugged the affectionate boy. The cheeky fella then tried to wipe his greasy hands on the genin's silver locks. Ahh! No, I don't think so! He grabbed Iza's hands as they squirmed inches from his head. Onlookers from other tables laughed at the two boys in men's bodies. They recognised the blue haired man as the hero from a few minutes ago and started cheering him on in the little struggle.

Fukai chose not to mention that his friend's actions probably hadn't helped the four men and their families in the long run, a syndicate was sure to find them and stop by to collect that money. But Izanami was not to know about the state of the country and it was still an incredible act that he had pulled off. he was truly impressed at both his kindness and use of shinobi skills. Alright! So where to next my lovely friend Fukai!? Or are you busy? The genin smiled. Well, I do have a few things still to do today.. But hey, let's have one more little adventure. He stood and walked around to his new friend's seat and gave him his arm. He decided on a post lunch stroll around the village.

They strolled out of the restaurant, the eyes of the diners still on the the pair. Fukai left some money on the table to take care of the bill. As they strolled down the street, Fukai slowly started on a little advice. ..Hey Iza, I know you well enough now to know that you have the best intentions but here this country is sick. It is getting better but slowly. Doing kind acts comes naturally to you but just be careful, if you do anything to anger the crime bosses then you could get in a heap of trouble.

The boy asked Fukai what he looked like. Uhhh, well I can assure you I'm no work of art. My hair is white and my eyes are purple. Oh and I belong to the Fantomusodo clan. This is my mother's scarf, it's red. He put the end of the scarf in Izanami's hand to feel. She left it behind for me... He lingered on that sentence and they continued on their casual walk down the street.
