When the comforts of civilization begin to dull our senses, we must never forget that in the beginning, there was war. And war. And more war. Long before there were empires, there were humans consumed with greed and the hunger for power. Resources, territories, information—these were the forms of sustenance upon which we preyed. Today, we call such habits vices. Oh, how arrogant we have become! Are we not still impelled by those primordial emotions? Is the advent of war so far-fetched? But alas, for you to truly understand, we must dive deeper into this land’s half-forgotten past.
There was a time when might was the only law that humankind knew. Fearsome clans roamed throughout the land, seeking amenable grounds within which they could take root and opposing forces against whom they could test their mettle. Given the irregularity of nature’s bounty, certain regions appealed more than others, and dominion over such coveted territories became the spark that ignited the earliest inter-clan wars. These fierce, internecine affairs tended to conclude only when one side had decimated their competition into oblivion, and many clans of story were rendered extinct during this period.
The victors of war, having claimed their territories, often made truces with surrounding locals, offering protection in exchange for access to the yields of agriculture. Over time, certain communities emerged as more dominant than others, either due to numbers or sheer talent, and their rapid expansion would force smaller, neighboring communities to either collapse into their fold or be devastated. When the dust settled, humankind found itself divided into the five major territories that we are familiar with today. And was the bloodshed over? With our lands obtained and our bellies filled, were we finally content?

June is for juggin AKA working hard, so we are making it a double rewards month for every mission completed! Yes we said it's double rewards, now you all can really get into the thick of those builds if you work hard enough. And who knows what you might uncover in the process. AND all jobs are free to enroll no quest EXCEPT ANBU(Black Ops) roles.
One of the oldest structures in Hi no Kuni is the Verdant Fire Temple it stands alone within the verdant forest, and it is one of the most sacred training/learning grounds in the entire country. At its foundation, a few clan leaders in the country banded together in an effort to focus on the cultivation of knowledge and more universal uses for chakra outside of battle. This main temple is surrounded by three smaller buildings highlighting the Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuuga clans; each building displayed its respective clan emblem. These buildings house some of the oldest knowledge possessed by these clans’ written languages one could only understand with the proper knowledge.
In front of the main temple, there’s a large training ground that’s been maintained by monks that protect the temple. Every building is patrolled by a guard chosen specifically chosen by the Hokage, and is responsible for ensuring the entire area is kept in pristine condition, as well as the area is safe.
Main Temple The main temple is the most prolific of them all, it stands at an impressive 50 meters tall despite it only has one floor. And it’s perimeter can be most accurately described at 50x50x50 meters making it a massive structure you could see from a distance despite it being covered by lush forest. Inside the temple is lined with gold, and marble. And it houses a singular altar and a figure that resembles the sage of the six paths with the fabled Rennigan. This building’s primary use had been rituals, sealing, and to further one’s enlightenment combat is strictly forbidden within this area.[break][break]
Uchiha building[break][break] The Uchiha building is built with the same accents as the main building, although there was a slight difference. All the accents were done in a special ruby cut by a fabled blacksmith, there hasn’t been anyone able to replicate this style in years which gives this building a special feel to it. Inside the building, the walls are lined with stories of the Uchiha clan that could only be perceived using the Sharingan to decode the text. Inside the singular room, there was one stone altar with a statue of the gods of the sun and moon. This building stands 30 meters tall and has a perimeter that can be described as 30x30x30 meters.[break][break]
Hyuuga building[break][break] The Hyuuga building is built with the same accents as the main building, although there was a slight difference. All the accents were done in a special Sapphire cut by a fabled blacksmith, there hasn’t been anyone able to replicate this style in years which gives this building a special feel to it. Inside the building, the walls are lined with stories of the Hyuuga clan that could only be perceived using the Byakugan to decode the text. Inside the singular room, there was one stone altar with a statue of the god of the moon. This building stands 30 meters tall and has a perimeter that can be described as 30x30x30 meters.[break][break]
Senju Building[break][break] The Senju building is built with the same accents as the main building, although there was a slight difference.

Inside the building, the walls are lined with stories of the Senju clan that could only be perceived using the Senju special language to decode the text. Inside the singular room, there was one stone altar with a statue of the sage of the six paths.

Kohana stared up at the story of her clan as the veins at her temples bulged and pulsed. Within the Hyuuga temple was a quiet so loud that it almost hurt. She was never one to enjoy the quiet, let alone a quiet so loud as this one. It was like everything around her was reverberating to the point that if she were to move, it would echo and shatter everything. She hated this place. The story of the Hyuuga was just a hubris one; full of confidence and superiority complexes. The Hyuuga were just as strong and important as the Uchiha and the Senju. They all had their specialties and they all had their strengths and weaknesses. None were better than the other.
I know of a few people in my family who would disagree with that sentiment…
Sighing as she released her Byakugan, Kohana turned on her heel to exit the silent temple. Upon exiting, Nii was there to grin at her and wave. The woman was always so loud and pushy but she appreciated her dedication to somewhere with the meaning this place had. Even if she thought it was a stupid place anyway. “Nii. Take care of the temple. Wouldn’t want our toddler leader to throw a temper tantrum at you.”
Nii just laughed loudly at her, waving her hands as if to shush her away from the Hyuuga temple grounds. Kohana hadn’t told anyone, not even her sister, what was about to happen in the walls of the main temple here. Other than Momoji and Kiyomi, no one knew the changes she was about to undergo. It was intimidating; a feeling she hadn’t felt in quite a long time. The idea of losing herself entirely was a scary one. She had already nearly lost herself numerous times before. Whether it was on missions, near mental breakdowns, or just amidst all of the Hyuuga drama over the last few years. But she survived it all.
She could survive this.
While she didn’t know where Kiyomi was, she knew the other woman wouldn’t back down from this either. They were in this together. It had been a long time since she really had someone that was her equal on something similar to a mission. Either she was strictly the medical ninja on the squad or she was off on her own for recon or to topple buildings. This was something so different that despite her antisocial reputation she was glad there was someone to experience this with. Outside of Kiyomi, no one, not even Momoji, would know what it would be like to have a whole other living being inside of you; let alone what all that chakra and personality could do to change them.
Either way, Kohana made her way to the main temple that was in the center of the three great clan temples. As to be expected, as she entered the temple, it was entirely empty save for herself and Momoji who was across the room from her. Smiling a small smile and offering a small wave, the Hyuuga woman closed the distance between the two of them. Stopping close to the man, she stretched, reaching high into the sky with both hands before pulling them down and punching one fist into her open palm. The sheer force of the punch sounded rough and any normal person would have likely shuddered at the power that was likely behind that punch. “Alright! I’m ready Momoji. Once Kiyomi gets here, let’s get this show on the road, hm?”

A golden branch with jaded leaves.
Never, in all of her years, had Kiyomi stared fate so vividly in the face. She figured her life as a shinobi would follow the typical route of any overachiever but the honor that was being presented to herself and her newfound partner Kohana, would change the world forever. It was bigger than both of them, bigger than all of them and would resound throughout written history until the ends of time. The first jinchuriki of the hidden leaf village... this was a moment to savor.
Which the raven haired woman had no issue doing, her body covered elegantly by a solid white kimono, painted with two jade dragons wrapping around her frame as if in a fierce battle or eternal dance of love. Cherry blossoms forming a bed around both their bodies and spattering the fabric with flecks, with her hair that so often fell down her spine now wrapped into a beautiful bun and her feet hovering over the ground in two toothed wooden geta. Kiyomi's nails were painted a vibrant green and surprisingly her face was completely devoid of any makeup. It wasn't like she needed it anyway, but sometimes she liked to accentuate her ensemble with a splash of facial coloring. Though to compete with the simplistic beauty of the Verdant Fire Temple would be a crime in and of itself.
Her own hazel blue eyes couldn't help but take in the magnificence of the massive building, despite this not being her first encounter with the structure. She managed to catch sight of Kohana entering the main temple before quickly moving to do the same, seemingly teleporting a few feet away from the door. She would quickly dust off her kimono and walk to meet her hokage and companion in the large golden and marble lines innards of the ritual space, closing the distance between the two of them to now form a trio. "Momoji-sama, Kohana-san, an honor as always."
Kiyomi offered a smile to the two of them, something she was learning to do more often without suspicious behind her gaze; always wary of who to trust. These two were different, maybe, and for that she would at least be grateful. "After you, Momoji."
[attr=class,bulk] ‘All right, I’ve practiced this a million times from that one guy I met in Kirigakure, he said I couldn’t copy it because it didn’t have seals. But boy was he wrong.’ Momochi arrived early at the temple to find some time to meditate before the sealing, despite being a powerful man he wasn’t the most skilled sealer. Resting upon the building's main altar of the building he was dressed in his usual attire, green cargo pants, and a white tee shirt with the Uchiha Crust in the center of it. He accessorized his attire with the signature Hokage jacket, all white with the insignia for Hokage spaced evenly down the center of it. Today would be a big day for his village, despite the rocky conversation that led him here, he felt confident in his decision to make sure his village stayed ahead of the curve. [break][break]
About 30 minutes later Kohana strolled into the main temple extruding her usual intense demeanor, it was refreshing for Momochi as he remembers days when she dreamed to have such confidence. Once she made her way across the room she greeted him in the usual way, slamming her hand into her palm causing a loud echo in the building supported by an equally strong wave of wind. ‘Dammit.’ His clothes fluttered a little as he looked up from his seated position. Before he could make a statement he heard another set of footsteps entering the building, leaning to the left and looking past Kohana he could see Kiyomi. Her vibe was always different, there was intensity supported by elegance, which seemed like a weird combo but worked perfectly in her favor. [break][break]
“Good Morning Ladies! I’m glad you made it! Today will change our lives! From this day on, we will be bonded for life. You two already great stars in the village will become supporting suns that will intensify the will of the fire!”[break][break]
Speaking proudly the Uchiha stood to his feet before dusting his clothes off, it was time to get the day started. His hands would join forming a singular seal allowing a carbon copy to be spawned next to him. After thinking it through, he felt he could handle this most efficiently by working with himself to handle them both in real-time.[break][break]
“So I know you all remember the contracts you signed, well it was the first half to initiating a bond with this beast. I will be acting as a median to ensure you’re safety while we attempt this process, in the end this seal will allow me to use my own chakra to ensure the beast has the least chances to take over your body.” [break][break]
Momochi would grin would get a little wider.[break][break]
“So you know what that means, you’re really stuck with me for LIFE."[break][break]
He would burst into a boastful laugh for a moment joined by only his clone probably, as the duo regained their composure Momochi would take scrolls from the altar behind him. He would throw one to his clone before they would open them, the seals on the paper pulsated signifying they were ready to be used. [break][break] “Alright first.”[break][break]
Turning around they would place the scrolls behind them on the ground before waving a couple of seals and placing their hand onto the paper causing a moderate cloud of smoke to appear. In front of the real Momochi a Jar that measured 10x10x10 feet would be spawned labeled Gobi. In front of the clone, a similar jar would be spawned labeled Rokubi. Each jar had a unique glow to it, and the duo would probably start to feel their chakra resonate with their respective beast. Once the smoke cleared the duo would turn back to the young women offering a more serious look.[break][break]
“Alright, as you can see we’ve got these jars here with the tailed beast locked away. You will become the new vessels for these beasts, and in order to achieve this with the most east we will have to drain all of your chakras until it’s pretty much gone. In turn, it’ll be easier for the beast and your chakra to meld instead it’s of naturally rejecting foreign chakra. Once the sealing starts you will most like be unconscious, and the next time you see me you’ll be instead in one of the resting rooms of the temple, if not the graveyard.”[break][break]
The Uchiha would outstretch his hands to the duo, clone included. [break][break]
“Now if you take my hand, we can begin.”[break][break]
Kohana politely nodded in the direction of her would-be partner, Kiyomi, once she entered and joined her and Momoji for this tailed beast sealing event. The closer and closer it got to what she could only imagine was the big show had her heart beating, her blood pumping, and every part of her on fire. It was exciting, scary, and unprecedented above all else. Who knew what the other villages were doing or if she and Kiyomi would be the first, but the idea of being leagues above the rest of her peers was so enthralling. For once, she stayed quiet, for the most part, as Momoji welcomed them and began his typical monologues.
He’s using his own chakra as a catalyst for the bond in sealing the beasts to us…? So his chakra would be—
Her thoughts were interrupted by his snarky comment about being stuck with him for life. Kohana couldn’t help but guffaw at the terrible joke before rolling her eyes, “Momoji, usually you try and come onto a woman by buying her dinner first—not like this.” She winked at him, with all purposes to fluster or embarrass him. It likely wouldn’t do such a thing, but it was entertaining enough for her regardless. There were plenty of times she would flirt with the young male or female interns at the hospital strictly to see them get flustered. It was like a fun pastime really.
The Hyuuga woman watched as Momoji and his clone did what they needed to do in summoning two ornate looking jars. Each one was labeled with the respective tailed beast that was sealed in each. The real Momoji was in front of her with the one labeled Gobi while the clone at the one labeled Rokubi for Kiyomi. He continued on with the instructions, much like he did back at the Hokage Office. The idea of depleting most of her chakra didn’t sound fun to her nor did the idea of being so weakened during something as important as this. What if the tailed beasts went rampaging? Then again, without depleting her chakra, the sealing would fail and the beast would just kill her and rampage.
It really was all up to Momoji to keep them safe while it was up to each of them and their constitution for the internal battle that was about to happen.
Taking in a deep breath and then exhaling, she reached out and took Momoji’s hand. “Let’s get this show on the road. The longer the three of us are here the longer you’re away from the village and the longer the village has to wait to get two new badass protectors.” She looked over to Kiyomi and smirked. “Don’t die, okay? It would be a shame to have some other scrub who’s not as polished and strong as you to take your place.”
Time to exceed all of the Hyuuga’s expectations and make an even further name for myself and myself alone. All for Konohagakure.

A golden branch with jaded leaves.
With Momochi's greeting, the meeting was now full affect and Kiyomi knew there was no turning back now. That same will of fire that her hokage and friend spoke of burning bright within her, despite what her face and body language showed on the surface. So with a stretching of her head to one side and then the next, her spine would emit a small pop as her joint relaxed and her muscles eased. A small smirk forming at Kohana's expression and the laughter between Momochi and his clone after saying they were bound together for life, something she found to be amusingly appropriate.
Giving a small chuckle at Kohana's own response before shaking her head in disbelief of the two and their comical antics. Sometimes she wondered what she was going to do with the pair.
The jounin did however take heed of his words, and understood he would be doing this all alone and keeping the beasts from overwhelming them while their own souls did the same. So watching carefully as the man tossed a scroll from behind himself to his counterpart, to which he then opened to display that same symbol the two of them had seen earlier. Both now pulsating with life, as if with the heartbeat of the beast and Kiyomi could almost feel her own heart flutter at everything happening.
Suddenly, both scrolls were placed onto the ground followed by clouds of smoke revealing a massive jar labeled with the respective titles of each beast. The dark blue glow of the jar was almost hypnotizing to look at but as if Rokubi called to her, Kiyomi could feel the chakra within her body begin to resonate with the object. Her eyes closing as she sighed for just a moment, letting her lungs expel slowly to steady her breathing and only opening her eyes once her head was clear; the darkness behind her eyes blinding her with only Rokubi's chakra ever present in her mind.
Fully aware that soon it would be filling her vessel and giving birth to a new level of power. A new level of possibility...
Extending her hand to take her Hokages, she would off a solemn nod at the man, accepting her fate while looking over to Kohana as she spoke. A genuine smile forming on her face at the idea of someone else stealing this honor from her; not now and not ever! "Likewise, Kohana... I'd hate to lose you after finally picking out matching tattoos." A devilish grin crept in from her previous smile as she joked with the woman and then turned to Momochi, ready to accept her fate.
[attr=class,bulk] With his hands outstretched the shodiame stilled himself while Kiyomi & Kohana made a few remarks before grasping his hands. [break][break]
“I’ll pay for dinner, for the next month when y’all make it out on the other side.” [break][break]
The clone spoke jokingly before the two made their final remarks to each other, without hesitation Momochi hands lit up a bright glow before he began to pull at their respective chakra pools. A unique technique he learned from the Mizukage a long time ago is said to be from the Akadou clan, the clan and the original would lightly speak. [break][break]
“Chakra Kyuuin no Jutsu.” [break][break]
The glow would intensify covering their entire body, in what seemed like moments. they would start to feel like they’d been hit by a cyclone of fatigue as he siphoned off all their chakra until their was barely anything left while doubling his own. At this point the women would likely start to fade to black, losing consciousness and causing their bodies to fall limply fall. Releasing his grip he would catch them and lay them down in front of him. ‘Alright.’ Momochi thought as he stood back to his full height, his clone did the same. [break][break]
“Alright buddy! Lets get this show on the road. It’s a as simply as 50 seals, lets see who gets done first!” [break][break]
With those words the Hokage would fly through a bunch of seals, it wouldn’t take very long as he was very skilled with sealing. His hands flew through the seals causing his body to take on a bright red glow, his chakra manifested itself in the form of his susasnoo coating his person in a protective shell. A light hum resonated within the holy temple, the process was fully underway now. Each contract was absorbed into their respective jars, before momochi sunsanoo reached out touching the jar creating a a reaction of black chakra being pulled into his person. At the heel of his seal bright red symbol would appear at the center of his right palm. Carefully while his clone followed his every move he placed his hands on their stomach causing a seal to expand over their entire mid-section. [break][break]
“Move.” [break][break]
With those words the chakra began to violently be funneled from the jar into their bodies, a loud screech would ignite and resonate loud enough to be heard a few miles away. Momochi closed his eyes with a slight grimace as he prepared himself to enter their mental scape along with the beast, his chakra mixed with it applying a heavy sealing layer to assist the young women on their journey to maintaining their humanity! As the chakra flowed into the women they would feel a sharp jolt of energy without actually regaining their full consciousness. They would awake in a dark place for Kiyomi a bright blue would be in the distance, and for Kohana a bright yellow light would appear in the distance. [break][break]
LETS GO From here will go off into separate sealing threads to have your first interactions with the beast you’ve been elected for! Kiyomi, you’ll be gaining the six, and Kohana you’ll receive the five tails! Please start a thread in the country sealed and labeled with your respective beast!
Please note you should enter this thread as if you have no idea where you are, and little control over the environment. As described in the post, each of you will see a light while you’re are awaken in a pitch black room! Good luck!
Chakra Kyuuin no Jutsu (Chakra Absoption Technique) [break] Rank: C[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) [break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: x1 Low[break] The root of all Akadou jutsu, Chakra Kyuuin no Jutsu is a special ninjutsu techinque used to quickly extract a victim's chakra for the purpose of using it for oneself . After activitating the technique, the user's hands will glow a neon-blue color, the sign of reverse-flow chakra. As they place their palm on their opponent's body, or any chakra surface for that matter, they can proceed to withdraw the physical and spiritual energy out of them. By reducing the opponent’s chakra, it greatly increases their overall advantage in battle. [break] [break]
Note: This ability can only be channeled through the hand(s). The chakra absorbed by this technique, per post, is equivalent to x2 Mid. Furthermore, despite being channeled through the hand(s), the user is only capable of draining one person at a time. [break] [break]

In order to apply this seal to a vessel you will need 3 unique Chakra signatures, and an enormous amount of chakra. [break] [break]
The Sealer – The sealer must have 5 or more massive’s of chakra available. [break] The Sealing Vessel – must have less than x2 High Chakra (If they have too much chakra the sealing will not work. [break] The Biju – Biju chakra must be contained by any median and dispersed to the seal by sealer[break]
Kanzen'na onmyō shīru can be placed anywhere on a vessel's body, once the proper seals are employed the sealer will envelop in the biju chakra. The sealer will become a median as the Biju chakra flows through their body into the vessel, none of the chakra passed will remain with the sealer unless they want it to (The Sealer can take the Yin or Yang Chakra from the beast in this process) vessel and the Biju. Once the chakra of the Biju is completely passed to the vessel, the sealer will place both hands on the spot the seal and apply 5 massive’s amounts of charka to lock the biju inside the vessel. [break]
Once the process is complete the vessel will be KO’d for the remainder of the thread?! [break]
This seal doesn't place any physical burden on the user, it allows for the perfect synchronization of the bijuu and its host. Cloak form may vary *. Host may take on some characteristics of sealed beast. [break]
