Prologue: Warming Up [solo, nk]

It was time to get back into shape, Kozai thought, as he woke up that morning in his kage office chair. It seemed that he had dozed off and slept clean through the night. Now, he had a concept to investigate. His old body modification jutsu... he felt it returning to him, but in a different form. He needed to work out the new kinks in it, and basically work out. He looked out the window drowsily, it looked to be evening. Well, he could at the very least tone his chakra system. He would breathe in, letting the energy surge through his system. His chakra was more powerful than most, but still not where he wanted it to be. However, it seemed that it was at its maximum, and wouldn't grow any more. Reaching his limit... he needed to get himself back into shape. He clenched his fist, and the blue aura concentrated around his fist. Ah, good. Everything was working properly. He popped his neck, and raised his hands, and the chakra flashed across the room. Well, that was fine. His internal workings were doing just well, that that was good. But he needed to get into the mode where he was not "merely working out". Oh well, he could do that tomorrow.
For now, he needed to do more of a system check. He walked outside, to find a construction site, from which he would borrow a slab of concrete. Ah, this would do well. In a flash, he would have slammed a punch into the concrete, shattering it completely. Excellent, so his muscles hadn't completely atrophied. Well, this was good news, and it meant that he was almost done. As a matter of fact, he felt like his legs needed an excersize as well. Crouching down, he would jump up and over the city. Ah, this was good. The evening air felt cool against his face as he landed on the roof of the kage building. Dropping in through the skylight, he would sit back down in his chair, running his chakra through Hyakkasou on his desk. Ah, that was working well too. At the very least, he was ready to execute his plans. First... to see about the spare limb he had. Taking it out of his lab coat, he would place his hand on it, and attempt to assimilate it into his body. Of course, it didn't work. Well, he would have to try later....
