*One day you'll find a letter infront of your dojo with only saying that to follow where the smell of harmony guides your path... suddenly you'll remember the most sacred and flowing through with energy is within the caves of a mountain... but it's just a legend... you'll start asking yourself of the symbol of the palm and you should pursue or not. Rumors whispering around of an old man living there and as anyone enters, no one comes out alive from its peak. The old man is probably dead... so thought.*

Dante: ... it's only a matter of time before He meets his fate... soon.

*Dante looks down once again within his white robes, glancing down upon snow flakes with his byakugan. Byakugan which shines lighter then one diamond with a touch of flames from Olympus.*

 

[Shig]

*walking dilligently, Tamashii is looking around and is deep in thought*

"I am close now."

*he begins slowly climbing towards a very familiar cave, wondering if he would find what he is looking for when suddenly the earth beneath his feet rolls down, making him slip*

"Tch, gotta be careful."

 

[House]

Dante: The breeze isn't as usual as was for the 60 years before...

*Dante smirks while sitting ontop of the middle stone above the clouds, where he had usually sat for the past 60 years, waiting for the letter to find its owner. Owner whom will show enough courage to stand up to a Sage and learn what he has to offer.*

Dante: I see... he had reached his peak but the thrist for power drives him even further then he's body may hold... I had held once such an immature spirit...

*The hood falls off from his head, revealing his knitted and crocheted chainmail helm and the top if his holy brassard.*

 

[Shig]

"I'm almost completely out of chakra from that journey, and I need rest badly. I hope I can get up there before I black out."

*Tamashii was insisting on getting to the top of the relatively abrupt mountain, he finally finds a cave opening which he shakingly enters*

"*huff* *huff* Whew, this is entirely too tiring for me."

*looking around the cave, he observes that it is deserted, however there were some certain objects, that seem to have been there for not so long, realising that he is on the right track*

 

[House]

Dante: Souls has to rest... dreams have to live on... He shall prove of good if not, death shall await on the other side of hell.

*Dante starts emiting a really slow and smooth chakra wave from all of the points on his body to heat himself up with raw chakra*

-Hours have passed and the wind got stronger and it began to snow heavier-

*Dante brings his hand up and emits a chakra wave continously, showing a bright blue chakra which holds somekind of light as it can be seen from a distance.*

 

[Shig]

*Tamashii rises on his feet and calmly walks towards the cave entrance, seeing a light portruding through the clouds, he then proceeds to activate his Byakugan noticing that the light is actually chakra*

"I see, so that is where you are... old man."

*he grabs a hold of a rocky surface above the cave entrance and begins climbing carefully towards the top of the mountain, he climbed to a point where his legs started aching again, it was a really high hike, when he eventually got to the top, he placed his right hand first, pushing with the last bit of strength the had to get his whole body on the top of a stone to the old man's left*

"*pant* It's been a long journey... you know... *pant*"

 

[House]

*By the glance of Dante's face, you can see the years of his actions where he earned the title of being a Sage. His eyes looks much brighter and sharper then average, almost having the linings dissapear...

Dante doesn't answer, the light in his hands grew lighter then extinguishes and he puts his hand down and gets up and starts walking to the opposite direction. Heavy winds starts blowing his white robes to the side almost ripping them off.*

Dante: Get up... if you're blown off the mountain, you'll fall into your death... you might just turn back by the looks of your fire within your eyes and the life within your heart youngling... seek knowledge? The only thing you'll find is your doom...

 

[Shig]

*Tamashii gets on his feet, shaking from the effort*

"Wind..*pant* is the last thing that can get me down from here now.. *pant* Seeking knowledge is the only purpose I have been brought in this world for, and I won't allow petty threats to strip me of my heritage."

 

[House]

*As you had spoken of heritage, Dante makes a sudden turn around, looking deeply within your eyes.*

Dante: Born for a purpose...

*Starts walking towards you while lifting his right hand on the level of your heart.*

 

[Shig]

*Tamashii choses to stand still but vigilent, getting a hold of himself and analysing the man carefully*

"Born for the same purpose as you were... to carry this noble blood further into the world. It's our common heritage, no matter the difference in power between us..."

 

[House]

*The old man puts his palm onto Tamashii's heart while looking straight into your eyes with the blinding byakugan*

Dante: We fear for one reason... for our lives. To live up to our expectations, fear. Ambition to seek knowledge but fail to learn it...that is where one differs from one's power... the power of your heart and chakra.

*With a dramatic move, he pushes his palm against the mountain and exerts massive amounts of chakra which blows off the whole mountain and makes an avalanche.*

Dante: One's heart could of been crushed like that... just like I had pushed my palm against your heart. Fear, you do. That's a good thing.

*Dante turns aroung while putting down his hand and walks towards the dark care near by.*

 

[Shig]

*Tamashii watches the old man's demonstration of power, luring him to want to hear more*

"Fear is what drives us all, old man. And seeking knowledge is a task worthy enough, even if it is failed; living life in fear of rejection and of failure is not an option for me. I was born to know, and the blood that pumps through my veins is the proof that you might inquire about. As for fear itself..."

*He begins to lightly step towards the man, who is walking towards the cave*

"... I do not feel it, nor do your eyes dictate fear into me. You know that I speak the truth."

 

[House]

Dante: If fear doesn't guide you then you wouldn't be here my son... everyone fears of not knowing enough thus learning and gaining powers beyond their imagination.*

*Dante sits down at a cave infront of the cave within heavy winds*

Dante: Activate your byakugan and tell me what you had find as you're looking at me and in my direction.

 

[Shig]

"Fear does drive me, but I do not fear to inquire."

*Tamashii closes his eyes, focusing, moments after his Byakugan is activated*

"I see everything, but being distinguished from the monotony is your chakra flow and I see a certain circulation system."

 

[House]

Dante: Look more deeper... look more descriptive... what does your eyes see? Look for things that may describe me for who I am.

 

[Shig]

*Tamashii takes a deep breath and begins looking in more detail*


"1...2...3...20...361 nodes which seem to control the chakra flow, I'm assuming those are the infamous tenketsu, that only we can observe... Your eyes have a weird glow to them."

 

[House]

*looks up and stares into the distance*

Dante: These eyes has seen and gone through things which made me the Sage of who I am... indeed, there are 361 tenketsus on your body. You may exert chakra from these points at any time you'd want in an instant. Places like our palm, finger, and the points on our body is what our fighting style, Gentle Fist really places upon. The nodes aren't the one's which controls our chakra flow but our chakra core, our gut where we may gather chakra. The nodes help us to exert chakra from the chakra core.

*points towards your white pupil*

Like I said, our most lethal weapon is Gentle Fist. But without your eyes, our fighting style is limited. We are the masters of chakra control indeed but our eyes puts us on a whole another level. Our abilities of chakra control enables us to become a lethal weapon within short range. I'll tell you more later about Gentle Fist but first, your eyes.

*puts my hand on your shoulder* I'll tell you a little more about our eyes then you might think... that's why I had asked you to look inside me and tell me what can you use your eyes for within a fight.

"The Byakugan is our special ability that, within battle can see chakra and once activated, it grants us a field of vision of 351 degrees. I'm assuming we can see exerted chakra as well(Ninjutsu techniques, etc.) as we can also see the chakra flow inside a person, from what I know we also have a sort of 'zoom' that can see to very far."

 

[House]

Indeed my student! Our eyes is capable of seeing much further.. some of us sees further then others, depends on rank but within a battle, it doesn't really looked upon. Our eyes allows us to see 359.8 degree of field of vision. We may exert chakra to that tiny spot which we may be not be able to see but it'll rarely happen that someone would be that skilled to throw a kunai in such a manner. You'll be always in motion. As because we're looking at everywhere at once, we may even be able track as fast as 8th gates speed. We may catch its glimps but as we're looking literary everywhere at once, we're able to track any kind of speed but our body won't be as fast as to respond to these speeds but our instant exertion of chakra enables us.

Our eyes also grants us to see through objects clearly, meaning we may see through a really thick wall and see exactly what color, shape or type of chakra is it. You know that there are the elemental chakras. Yes! We're able to differentiate within different types of chakra before even emitted out. We may recognize the type of chakra from the point one starts building up within their body and starts channeling it. Our eyes makes us able to see when we're performing the rotation. Within such an enormous speeds, we're capable of seeing. As because we're able to see through objects, we may point out each organs and tendons and joints. We'll go more in dept as I'd like to hear your input on this and if you have any questions.

*Dante stands up and starts walking on the wooden sidewalks as the wind got smoother and it got a little bit more chill*

 

[Shig]

*walks along side the man*

"Well, I'm pretty sure you have covered all of it. My questions have been answered before I even inquired them."
