[indent]The very Earth itself shook for a moment. Maruki, with is Byakugan, could see chakra that even dwarfed that of Kirugetsu filled a large area around them, all before hundreds of thick wooden planks erupted from it and shot out at Kami. They enveloped her in a jutsu that would sent most around her into fear due to hysteria, but Kirugetsu knew it; he had fought alongside it. It was a rare one to see, and it was one of the pinnacles of medical ninjutsu. It had saved the lives of people torn in two and was the closest thing to a resurrection jutsu there was. More importantly, it's only known practitioner was Hosuka Uzumaki: the Hokage.[/indent] [b]"She lost her hand, and nearly her life. The Tenshi no Kajitsu-Shitsu will save her, even grow her hand back since its early enough,"[/b] bellowed the deep voice from a man whom sounded so final in his statement that in that single moment it was as if Kami had already been healed. [b]"I expected this. Not from Allure, but from you, Kiru. You were, at a time, just as demanding with respect. You would never allow any of the petty replies that come from these want-to-be shinobi. Kami is ruined already. She is a chuunin outside adolescence that would have died here because she was stubborn. Shinobi cannot be that way. We are fluids to fill. Ether to exist. We are only stone when being moved would mean our death. You cannot let our next generation be like that. She will never be more than a chuunin; she is a waste of potential."[/b] It was Hosuka. No other man would speak like this, especially to Kirugetsu. Hayato would, but Hayato never spoke with eloquence. [indent]Kami sat inside a chamber made of thick wood and a warm, viscous substance. It completely encompassed her, and suspended her. She could still hear the outside world, and even with parts of her body literally removed, she felt no pain. Cuts from the glass, broken bones, even internal bleeding and collapsed organs were all being repaired at a rate some would feel impossible through any form of medical jutsu. Fact is, Kami should have died from that fall. The two Decapitating Airwaves knocked her into the ground with enough force that it was a wonder her death wasn't instantaneous. Her removed arm only made the situation grotesque. None of that mattered; the chamber she was in was easily capable of healing it all, at the cost of her remaining a stationary target for a day or so. Without being in combat, that fact was irrelevant.[/indent] [b]"I considered just letting her die. I know I am demoting her to genin. No chuunin in my village will be so unable to work with others that she gets herself killed because she cannot hold her tongue. She may be as powerful and useful as any chuunin in this village, but her mentality is wrong for it. Hayato is no longer a shinobi of this village. I met with him in the forest as he fled; as you know every tree in this Land is mine. I did not kill him, but he is now a Missing-Nin. Kill-on-spot, but I doubt you'll ever see him again. He's headed back to Suna where he belongs,"[/b] Hosuka told Kirugetsu in a very dry voice. He sounded stern and the voice from him was as always deep. Hosuka ran entire country without question. [b]"Kirugetsu, I expect more from you. These children are not playthings. They are becoming soldiers. Shinobi. The reason that Hayato knocked her out of that building and wanted her dead was, as I see it, in complete correlation with the motifs of this village. His actions, however, were too far. Never will we sink [i]that[/i] low. I see you have one of your genin. A Hyuuga. With your mouth, I'm sure he already knows the irony. I'm sure Shin had a chuckle. But, what I want you to know is that your relationship with your students will not be clouded by the past. You saw how hundreds of poorly trained runts in the resistance were chopped down. They were fool-hearty. They fought for a cause, but with no training and little conviction. I expected you to demand such, and that is why I considered placing you as a Division Head if you proved yourself with your squad. Do not tell me that your worries for the Hozuki mar your mind."[/b] [center]The rough look on Hosuka's face turned into a slight grin as he delved into a pocket of his to pull out a metal case.[/center] [b]"These are rare and have been perfected by the Nara. They are made from the blooms of a tree that before we had no idea the benefits of, and if we did, we lost the information. There are few left, but many being replanted, however they only bloom once a year, and in that time we focus more on seeding them than harvesting blooms. But, what this pill does will make it worth more than gold to you. It's rather simple, and it's a measure I set in place to assist with Clan rebuilding. It increases virility so that there is over a 50% chance children will be conceived as twins, retain paternal DNA and if used correctly will result in near-100% chance to conceive. I have had these for weeks, but was far to busy to give them to you. I found your efforts in the war and loyalty to the village merited you these more than anyone else, including my own clans. I would like for the Hozuki to be a new clan of Konoha, not of Kiri. Regardless, there are only two, in case the first fails. Use them as you see fit, and I hope this gift brings a little more focus to you."[/b]
