Preperations

The time had come to prepare…With everything in the village coming up, the Nova Tournament, his continued mission against Akabayashi's former student Jack, and of course his own plans to eventually have enough knowledge of a living clone...but first he needed to come to terms with his current new area of expertise.  So in light of that, and after talking with Akabayashi the last time they trained together, and now that he knew a little about seals he received instruction on how to go about the seals.  So there he sat, his upper torso was bare to the sun as he was cultivating his chakra in the Terumi courtyard.  “I will not falter like I did last time, I will show the village that I am worth having been saved…I will show my face to Jack and all of his followers…they will all know to fear me…or this will blow over and I will pass the Nova Tournament and reach my dreams, then finish the job I started with…so first things first.”  He focused on a singular point on his chest, over his heart as he remembered the complex writing that Akabayashi showed him.  He took in a deep breath as he absorbed the natural chakra around him before activating his True Sage Transformation, the power of an apex warrior, the sign of someone enlightened.  He breathed deeply and focused his chakra, feeling the power surge through his veins as he continued to breathe as if in deep meditation before bringing his hands up to perform the following signs; Hare  > Rat > Dragon > Bird.  He used the amplification jutsu for Fuuinjutsu, a thing he learned again from the elder Terumi, Akabayashi before performing another set of hand seals; Boar -> Monkey -> Bird -> Tiger -> Ox -> Dragon.  This time he placed his thumb against his bare chest where he was planning on placing a seal.  He used a peculiar sealing jutsu, the Spellbinding Seal to seal away the power of the True Sage Mode as it was for future use.  His body was still reeling as he felt the chakra surge around his heart and create the seal, which took the visage of an alchemical formulae.  In other words, he used the transformation of the sage to increase his own power and then in turn the power of the seal.

He continues to go through his own mind as he goes over the various seals that he had come to learn.  He needed some additional firepower for anything that was upcoming, not because he could not handle it himself…but this would allow him to have a few tricks up his sleeve as it were.  He focused his chakra once more before performing the hand seals; Tiger->Boar->Ox->Ram->Rat->Dragon and touching his left forearm he placed the Dark River Breaking seal on his body, feeling his chakra surge to that point as he drew the rhombus and felt the miniscule changes on his skin. Before the symbols ran up his arm and then back to the seal as it was successfully made.  He was feeling a little winded at this point, not because of the power he was using, but because of the concentration needed to pull it all off.  “Alright, we are moving along just fine, I know that if it came down to it…the village at my back and I was in a life or death fight…I would fight till the bitter fucking end.  Jack WILL NOT win...”  He said to himself before he adjusted his body back so that he could get back to placing more seals on his body.  “Alright, let’s get this fucking show moving forward.”  He said as he brought his chakra back up in his body and then brought his hands together and performed the hand seals for Ghost Lake Breaking; Rat->Dragon->Ox->Ram->Tiger->Boar before focusing his chakra and drawing on his right forearm, the seal he would need to call upon at a later time.  He could feel the chakra in his network flare and move to his skin then stabilize soon after as he knew that this was just another part of the process.  Once it was over he felt no different than before so he continued.  Making the hand seals at a steady pace; Tiger -> Dog -> Ox -> Dragon -> Boar -> Rat -> Tiger He performed it twice as he placed two Seals of Absorption over his shoulders, drawing the seals by memory as he remembered the seal by heart.  Once he felt that everything was in place he stood up and stretched his body, taking a few moments to breathe normally as he knew he had more work ahead of him before he was completely done with this whole ordeal.

He walked around the compound courtyard for a few minutes as he wracked his brain doing calculations and such.  He did not know who his opponents were in the Nova Tournament yet, but he knew that Morio was one that expressed interest in gaining power during the one exchange Team Winter had, so it would be likely that he would show up…Still though, Jack was the bigger prize here, and the new mission that Ayato had passed down to him about the Rinnegan…he did not have a long leash here, he was yet again waiting for it to be tightened and his freedom to be taken away.  He would not be a prisoner any longer…to nobody, he was going to be his own man…soon.

“Fuck…alright, lets continue this…this time however I am gonna try something a little different.”  He would say as he would purse his lips together and he would then picture the hand seals in his head as he would whistle a melody of the following seals; Snake > Ram > Rat > Dragon.  To him the whistles that he performed made a little sense to him, yet as he focused his chakra to a point he drew the seal on his right pec on his upper torso and he felt his chakra surge for a few moments as he knew that this storage technique would allow him to recover a little in battle.

Taking a moment, he walked inside the compound…Akabayashi of course was nowhere to be found and the young Terumi sighed as he walked into the kitchen…it was at least clean now and he could feel at ease that his mother’s home was at least taken care of now…he was hungry though and if he did not eat something, then it was likely that his stomach would burst from his torso and punch him with it’s bloody metaphorical fist and make him eat.  So he opened the fridge, found some pork belly, and grabbed a pan before searing the pork belly with some spices as he grabbed a cup of instant noodles and started some hot water.  He was going over things in his head, formulae for when he would eventually create a living clone…the looks and the types of techniques he wanted to have the clone learn…he would have to also be sure to teach ferocity and the skills needed to help him defeat Jack…or whatever mission may be on his docket a that given time.  The timeline was still not right though and he was having an issue with understanding how he would go about it.  

That is when the whistle of the kettle brought him back to reality and he snapped back to his senses, going to flip the seared pork belly before pulling the kettle from the stove.  He saw a few green onions and radishes that were sitting in a basket and he cut them up enough to make a meal.  He placed the pork belly onto a plate to cool for a minute as he placed the noodles into a bowl and poured some of the cut veggies into the bowl as well, finally adding the hot water he watched as the noodles separated and he sighed as he was once again lost in time.  It was not until he felt a familiar itch at the back of his neck did he return to the bowl, placing the pork belly inside and mixing it before grabbing a set of chopsticks and cleaning his mess.

Afterward he went back out into the courtyard and ate in silence as clouds began to gather and a breeze rolled through…an ominous feeling filled him and he began to get anxious.  “Must be rain today…”  He said as he slurped the noodles in silence, letting nature drown out everything else.

After eating he was filled once more with that ever so valuable energy and he grasped the cliff metaphorically speaking, his preparations were nearly complete…after this he was going to polish his armor so that when he made it to the Nova Tournament, people would realize that the man that would guard the kage and become a new Nova…a shining star in Hoshigakure…would be Shinrei Yamato, the fangs of Hoshigakure.  He daydreamed a bit more, an honorary title for someone such as him.  He had no worth, he was just a chimera now and as such he was going to make sure that he fulfilled all of his duties.  Now that he was a Jounin though…he was at least able to access more of the Hoshigakure resources befitting him.  “Now to put the icing on the proverbial cake before I can feel at least a bit more at ease.  Same as before, now with a different verse.”  He said to himself as if it were some mantra.  He popped his joints in his hands with simple flexing of his muscles and made another whistle, picturing the peacock spirit blessing jutsu as he activated it with that low pitched whistle.  The power surged through him, and he activated the Fuinjutsu Amplifier technique, with the same whistle method as before, picturing the hand seals as he did so before following through with the hand seals for the Spellbinding Seal once more as he placed the seal, drawing it out on his toned stomach.  He felt the power surge and he was filled with energy for a few moments as the spellbinding seal did its job.

“Fuck….”  He said with a heavy breath as the seal appeared onto his stomach.  He looked at the koi pond that Akabayashi had put in, his reflection showing his new look.  Two seals on his shoulders, one over his heart and another seal on his right pec, finally another seal on his stomach, while two more adorned his arms.  A total of seven seals were placed on his body, and he cracked an almost sinister smile as he looked at the fish as they swam towards the surface…they were already complacent with their feeding schedule with Akabayashi and were expectant.  Much like he was in a way as he took in skills, and power for himself, he reached enlightenment that he was a small fish in a much bigger pond as he took his time now, allowing himself to be one with nature momentarily.

The breeze blew once more and the koi spread out, moving, slinking away from Yamato as he raised an eyebrow…the clouds moved away as the sun shined brightly upon the bare back of Yamato, the scared flesh showed and he basked in the warmth for a moment before finally filling his lungs with air as he knew that the time he stepped away from the shadows was coming, and he was going to do so with a bang…

He remembered two final seals he wanted to put onto his upper body, he meditates once more before performing the seals for the seal of protection, choosing the side of his neck as the place where the seal will be placed. Using the water as a mirror he held still. Afterwards he put another seal on the other side of his neck after performing the seals for the chakra barrier technique.  Finally he had one more seal to place.  He made the seals for Sealing Technique: Release before drawing the seal along a scar on his left eye, it gave off a red hue as he grit his teeth for a moment...he looked more like a barbarian with war paint and scars than a protector of Hoshigakure...He scoffed and looked at the reflective pool again.  “And with that…the preparations will be complete…as far as it goes for placing seals on my own body.  He heard a knock at the door and he went to answer, the courier at the door had a sheet for Yamato to sign before handing over a box that was labeled as fragile.

Once back in the courtyard Yamato opened the crate, the package that the courier had delivered was the weapons and equipment he ordered.  “With this, I will be able to use my weaponry spec to the fullest.”  He said as he took the bracers he normally kept in his possession and sat them on the ground before separating the items.  Kunai and Senbon were placed in the left brace and the remaining items were to be placed in the right.  He used the basic chakra sealing jutsu to get all of the items where they needed to be.  Once it was all done he put the bracers on before putting on the training gi top on and leaving the Terumi compound.
