After a couple minutes of sobbing, Fushichō had finally gained her composure, though her cheeks and eyes were flush red from where her tears had run down her face. Tsubasa was still confused and tired. She could feel the weight of her armor on her shoulders, though just this morning it was negligible. Just minutes ago, she felt like she was on top of the world, but now… her body was beginning to ache and show signs of weakness. “I shall attempt explain what thou did as best I can. Once thou began to feel the natural energy, thou opened thyself and attempted to maintain a balance with the new rush of energy. Under normal circumstance, thou would have entered Sage Mode, however since thou hath a small chakra pool, there was an imbalance, making thou burn away the excess. These flames burn indiscriminately, burning natural energy and thine chakra. Since thou were using the chakra immediately after taking it in, you were able to keep the flames from burning at thine chakra pool, but once thou stopped…” Fushichō looked down to the base of Megalis. “The flames began to burn away at thine essence. If thou had not stopped… thou’st hath simply burned away and felt as though nothing had happened. I hath seen this only once before… and I was too late to assist them.” Tsubasa slowly nodded as she remembered one of the murals depicting an Uchiha engulfed in flames. Tsubasa then thought about what she experienced while in her seudo- Sage Mode and asked a question that had bugged her since she landed atop Megalis. [b]“Fushicho… about that… beat I felt or heard. What was that? It seemed to echo from the peak, but I really couldn’t be sure.”[/b] Fushicho looked up at Tsubasa surprised that she brought it up. “Thou felt it?[/b] Tsubasa shrugged slightly. [b]“I felt something… but I don’t know what ‘it’ is…”[/b] Fushichō opened her mouth, but then quickly closed and thought about how what she was going to say. “Tis… Tis an anomaly, something that I am unable to understand. I would have asked thou to assist thee in discerning what is was, however… thou hath not the eyes for such it… would appear normal to thee. Doth thou understand?” Tsubasa, despite her perplexed look on her face, nodded. [b]“So where does this leave us?[/b] Tsubasa said as looked past her teacher toward the large door. “I art not sure, but you won’t be able to continue to the next trial, but I do not wish to stop training you. There is still so much thou can learn and understand.” She bit her lip in thought. “I will have to think on this at length, but… for all intensive purposes thou hath finished this trial. Come back again whenever thou wish for I shalt always be here to assist in thine training. Thou may take thine robes with thee when thou leaves, but for all that shines under the sun. Do. Not. Use. That. Again.” Fushicho said with her eyes locked on Tsubasa’s and a serious look on her face. Tsubasa looked her teacher in the eyes shocked and nodded. [b]“I promise, sensei, I will not attempt to enter Sage Mode again…”[/b] Fushicho’s shoulders dropped and began to stand up. “Then I shalt figure out how I can get you that bit of chakra back. Until then try to take it easy, and inform Meisa what happened here today. Do not mention what you felt under the influence of meditation however. That beat is something… unrelated.” Tsubasa nodded as she slowly stood up. Once she was up, Fushichō surprised Tsubasa with a large hug. “One day, thou shalt see what is beyond that decrepit gate. Be patient and take care, thy dear.” Tsubasa smiled weakly and hugged her back. [b]“I shall…”[/b] She said jokingly as she pulled back. Fushichō gave her a small punch on the arm, her small grin returning to her face. Tsubasa calmly pulled her teleportation scroll from waist and disappeared in a puff of smoke. 

As the smoke cleared, Tsubasa once again found herself in her flat. It still just the way she had left it as if nothing happened. Standing up from the crouching position, she figured she would follow her sensei’s orders and talk to Meisa about what happened. Wrapping up her scroll and putting it on her waist, Tsubasa opened her door and rushing out. Finally at the Hokage’s palace, Tsubasa rushed inside up to Meisa’s office. Settled outside, Tsubasa told the secretary that she needed to speak with the Hokage’s assistant and began to wait patiently.
