.....Totsuka......
Suddenly, tears pour down Genichiro face in a calm steady stream but his expression...it did not waiver as if he was sullen, in fact he continued on as if even he...did not notice. Perhaps this weeping was, from within.
=The moment that Sentou said this as his explanation as to how it was that he knew about the Takamagahara it all made sense to genichiro. His back straightened out and suddenly the animosity upon his face was replaced with a ghostly - shock. It wasnt the type of shock that would make you gasp or anything otherwise, no instead it was the kind of shock that you get when the answer you were seeking, may have just hit a bit differently then you thought. As if the answer had reminded him of something that he had long since forgotten and put behind him. The question was - was this a reaction based of Kami's memories and feelings or was this more of the mental indoctrination of Izanagi...his feelings? Or maybe they were the result of an odd mix of the two. For a moment there Genichiro looked at Sentou - not helping but chuckle at the way that he had looked down at his feet...he hadnt even noticed that he had activated his mangekyou - having not been an intentional brandishing of the doujutsu but rather something that was done as a reflexive response to such a sudden surprise that he was met with. His lips upturned at the corners, a laugh, parried away from his heart:
"Totsuka huh? That explains a lot. Hm. And you're his student. Astounding that you've lived so far. Regardless. Its not my right to give any information about the Takamagahara at all, you'll need to save any questions about that for Izanagi himself, as im sure you already intended on - wanting your...heh closure and all. Hm I'll see to it that you all have safe passage through the fissure. But you should make haste and get there soon. Im not sure why Hazama wanted my seal of approval from that trade but at this rate - The Burning Dawn already being there at Izanagi's manor could very well be a possibility. And you're down two members of your team. Hm - perhaps a wheelbarrow is in order? I'll have one waiting for you on the way out. However - you Kirinji Uchiha...you should come with me. I've need to speak with you further. You've need to be armed with more knowledge on your new ocular disposition as I'd like to call it."
=And with that Genichiro walked out and towards the doors that he had been approaching before. And with that being said he would not close them behind himself as he had done before but instead the doors would remain wide open - an all consuming darkness welcoming the group of shinobi inside behind them as Sakuya approached with Eiji in hand. She looked as if she had not broken a sweat carrying him at all - holding him as if he was a bundle of firewood freshly chopped.
"Oh? Oop - well you didnt have to do that. The lil guy hardly weighs a thing haha, but thank you. You're quite the gentleman." -With that she would close the gap between them and set him in Sentou's arms- "Lets go ahead and get out of here. We'll handle letting Kirinji have his chit chat with Mr. Pitt Lord, and then we'll push onwards along the way. If these two dont wake up by the time we get to Lord Izanagi, then they certainly will be in good hands once we're there. But Kirinji. You only have to go speak with him if you want to. You say the word and we're out of here straight out the door no ifs ands or buts."
=She was sincere in what she said to the man and you could see it on her face. yes Sakuya was trained in the ways of the shinobi but the fact of the matter was that she was not a shinobi. She was a Priestess, a monk - and she had not been taight as most shinobi had been taught to bottle and conceal emotions. Sakuya was probably one of the most outwardly emotive people that they would make contact with here in Naraka and you could always read it on her face. As she looked at Kirinji there was not only concern, and worry, but conviction. She wasnt the type to take allies easily but if Kiyoshi had vouched for them then they were as close as friends as Kiyoshi himself was to her. Regardless at this point. Ko would be shuffling around next to them with Kasami in his arms. He planted a light kiss upon her forehead and sighed - not liking the fact that he was in a position that he did not know what was going on with her nor was he able to do anything more for her. He looked between the rest of them, then the door, and then back at them and inquire:
"Hey....so how do we feel about that wheel barrow...ya know.....asking for a friend."
=Meanwhile=
"Thats good - boy. It was a right fine warm up you've given me, but after all like I told you when we started this all it was - was a warm up. I certainly hope you didnt get the inkling of mind to think you would beat me....abomination."
=Along the central path into the village there stood Eien and Gogandantes still, butr by this point the victor of their little skwabble had been far obviously determined. Gogandantes stand above Eien, with his back bent downwards and his arm barred up over his head, just at the right position that if he wanted to he could snap it straight across the back of his body and rip it off...and Eien knew that. They stood there a moment as Eien was quite obviously exhausted and in a great deal of pain as he struggled against the hold of The Greatest Swordsman Of All Demons. However Gogandantes didnt even look winded. He had obviously taken some punches here and there - Eien was no slouch by far...however one would argue seeing the vast difference in power between them at this rate that there was a possibility that he had taken those punches of his own free will..because he had desired to do so.: "Tch you had all this time to train...I can even sense a deeper mastery and understanding of the Hadou in you, not that same test tube experiment that had come out before swinging and flailing angrily at anything that even smelled like Izanagi. But in the end you still disappoint me. You still could not make me....hm.....make me feel something. What good is it to you? This Souzou Subarashii? That devious little instrument bound to this arm? As a matter of fact, I wonder how well you would function if I just ripped it off of you here and now. Certainly you havent grown dependent on it hm?" the moment that he said this the orange haired Uzumaki started to bend that arm back more and more like a lever being tested at its axis. Eien grit his teeth and held in the jolted grunt and screams that were festering to slip between the cracks of his clenched teeth and be heard by the masses; he knew that was the type of thing that would only give Gogandantes more pleasure. Then suddenly
.....Someone approached.....
Gogandantes releasing the arm as he set his hand on Eien's side and with a leisurely push - flung him several feet away only to land hard upon his back. As Eien rolled with a baited gasp and grasp of his hand he arched his back and body to look up from the ground and observe what was happening before him....
....the flock of the ravens accompanied a figure of deep purple...approaching the Demon Swordsman.=
