| - As Raido came upon the door to exit the shrine he was greeted by the warm sun rays of his birth village Konoha. A clear sky, slight breeze and the smell of cooked food foreshadowed the kind of day Raido loved to look forward to. A day where everything seems to just flow and he can just see where the days takes him. Raido took a deep whiff of the air and the aroma of short ribs, chicken and Ramen each tickled his nose, tempting him to indulge in their succulent tastes. "MMMMMHHHHHMMMM, do you smell it Yama, can you smell the love in the air". Raido said with such conviction as he slowly sauntered in the direction his nose was being led. Yama gave Raido a resigned look as he could quickly see Raido was beginning to goof off since they completed what they cam here for. Though he agreed the food did smell rather delightful he failed to share in the sentiment Raido so greatly narrated. Well its not like I can stop you from eating, so there's no reason for me to object now is there Just don't make this an all day adventure where we are here longer than we have to be. Yama said as he simply exhaled a deep breath knowing somehow Raido would do the opposite There are five basic elements of this world. Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning and Wind. They are called among the shinobi "nature transformations" where the user adjusts the ratio of his Yin and Yang to create a certain element, it is the basics for elemental ninjutsu. There were masters of these transformations absolute elites, among them was Konohagakure's Hokage, Fūrin. Fūrin was a master of the wind element, she got it to a level of strength that was never achieved before by any Kage or shinobi. She was regarded as Konoha's fastest Hokage when it came to pure speed, and some say she's the strongest as well. Her master of the wind element became more of a merging process where she is a part of the breeze, it can be seen in her personality and her style of fighting. She can be a gentle breeze, but at the right moment, a hurricane that can wipe out everything in its path. Known for her beauty and intelligence, Fūrin was the kind of woman who liked to relax and get her head off things. She went to the roof of the Hokage mansion to catch some air, she then sat on the fence looking at Konoha from an elevated spot. "What have I been doing all this time, it seems I forgot my initial goal, I grew attached to this village and its people, which wasn't my plan. What should I do? This village isn't some stepping stone anymore, it became a part of me. However, is it the right thing to do? I don't know, I guess the days will show me. I will flow with the breeze as always and see where it takes me." Fūrin thought as she spaced out. Raido was still following his nose to food freedom when a interesting sense hit him. Raido could detect dukkha from someone close by and it was not among the average villagers. When Raido turned his head his eyes focused in on the exposed smooth thighs of a women. Similar to how he followed his nose, Raido's eyes were carving a path up to the woman face, there he noticed her soft beauty and a face that was seemingly in deep thought. The ripple pattern in Raido's eyes appeared to focus in as Raido eyed the women carefully without drawing her attention. Yama who thanks to the linked vision abilities of the Rinnegan easily saw what Raido saw and immediately thought the worse. We are going to be here all night. Yama shook his head in his own thoughts. Raido not known for shyness sauntered up to the young lady who easily looked around his age and leaned on the side of the fence to the opposite side of where she was looking. "Here it is I am traveling around looking at the most attractive places to eat, and as I do this I see a women whose beauty reminds me of breakfast early in the morning. The breakfast in bed kind of beauty that made me stop in my tracks to see if you would like to join me in finding some breakfast". Raido X said as he leaned against the fence in a relaxing manner. Raido's approach to conversations was certainly unique if anything, what he lacked in seriousness he made up for with great charisma. Fūrin looked at the man as he said his speech, she then giggled vividly as she looked at him once more "That's so sweet, you're a funny man." she said to Raido with her soft tone of voice a tone that had drawn many men before. "I never saw you around, you said you're traveling, correct? then tell me of your origins and your purpose of coming to Konoha, not trying to sound interrogative or anything, just starting a conversation." she joked around. She realized that he lacks the information of her being the Hokage, it was to be expected as of her attire, wearing a shirt skirt and a silk top isn't so much of a Hokage theme. The word origins caused a brief pause for Raido who quickly focused more on the other question. Raido wasn't one who enjoyed talking about himself but it seemed the woman had some interest in him. Raido, thanks to the Rinnegan made it hard to read him from looking at his eyes alone and his usual expression was always calm and confident. "I am simply a man of my own interest I go where the winds takes me and just go with the flow, sometimes I create my own flow. Depends on the adventure really". Raido said being very vague about himself. Something he became a master at as his hair flowed in the light breeze of wind that passed every few seconds or so. "Where are my manners? my name is Raido X and I was here visiting some friends of mine. Raido said somewhat telling the truth of his reasons for being in the village. What's your name because I was serious about the breakfast thing, my treat. Raido said as he turned his gaze back toward the woman with a quick gaze. "Oh? is that so? We have a lot in common then, I seem to flow with the breeze as well. Raido? that's a beautiful name. Well, I'm sure you've heard of me, but have not seen me in reality. My name is Fūrin the eighth Hokage. Now aI don't want you to treat me any different, just treat me like a normal girl, no need for formalities, Raido-san." she said to him as she gazed in his eyes as she felt drawn to the man. "Dinner, um, I don't know. Maybe I should return to my paperwork. It can get tricky when you are the Hokage." she joked around. She's the current Hokage?? of all the women I would make a move on and the one I do is the Hokage, the current Hokage. Challenged accepted. Raido said to himself knowing now he would need to tread carefully, if she was hokage it was for a good reason. "Paperwork?? nonsense, all work and no played made the Hokage a very bored girl but I got a way you can kick back and still get work done". Raido said as he rubbed his hands together his gloves making sounds effects as they created small friction. "All you need is a clone technique, the clone can stay back and do all the work since it still is you and has your knowledge. While the real you goes out to stretch your legs for a bit and relax". Raido said with as his voice projected this great idea to the hokages ears. "The rumors about you are true in terms of your looks and personality which I am attracted to but I wonder about the skill they said you possessed. I know you didn't get named hokage because your smile lights up the room, so maybe after the meal we can dance a bit and see how well you move". Raido said entertaining the idea of a quick spar with the hokage. Fūrin looked at him with an amazed stare "Um ... I" she said as she thought about it. She was flattered by Raido's compliments and felt the urge to go with him. "Alright, I guess." she said as she created a clone, which then proceeded to do her work. "Now since we are spending the rest of the day together, I would like to know what they say about my appearance and personality." she said as a mere attempt to feed her ego. She felt happy when Raido complimented her, and she wanted to feel even better about herself, that was the true intention of the question. While she made it seem like she was asking out of curiosity. Raido smiled when he saw that he managed to get her to come with him. Raido was blessed with a silver tongue, his way with words were just as useful as any weapon cool as water that drips off ice, and smooth as butter. "Seems you like the compliments a lot" Raido said as he laughed bit. "Well they said you had the kind of smile that could brighten up the darkest room, skin as smooth and warm as silk. Not to mention a body that made men break their necks to look at". Raido said finishing off his statement. "However due to your status as hokage most men are afraid to approach because they don't know how. I never really believe in rumors but like I said seeing for myself so far I got to agree with everything I heard, they described you quite well. Far as personality goes they said you had great confidence which was part of your reason for ascending to the ranks of Hokage, you confidence and self esteem in your abilities. The people from this village hold you in high regard so that told me everything I needed to know about you". Raido said as he realized he now had to look down a bit to make eye contact with her due to their size differences. Raido took note of everything he learned from Fūrin to get an idea of who she was for himself rather than from the rumors he heard. "Thank you, you sure know how to talk. I do have to admit that my position of authority made people afraid of approaching me, even before becoming the Hokage, I was not approached for the reason of being an assassin in the ANBU, I wasn't even allowed to show my face so that didn't help much. I became an ANBU around the age of fifteen. These days were tough. The leaf ANBU is one of the most strict ones around, ya know. I was known as a genius, I excelled in everything, but I'm sure the sources of information that you have already told you that. I became an ANBU leader later on and then was promoted to Hokage for my expertise in battle." she said. "Actually I didn't know all that" Raido said amazed at the girls resume, but not in the least not surprised. Seeing as how she became Hokage. "Your a pretty good example of how women can be just as effectively as a shinobi as men. Not just nurses and doctors, but just as powerful. I respect that, hell I like it". Raido said as he nodded his head slowly. As far as the women he knew she had the most decorated resume he had ever seen and heard. She must be on helluva fighter then if she managed to go through all that and become hokage. Raido thought to himself. "Seems like you and I have something in common as far as being well respected form our peers, not to feed your ego any further but your probably one of the more powerful women I think I may have ever come across. You seem to command a certain respect around here from both men and women yet you have a easy going nature good combination for your allies, deadly combination for your enemies". Raido said as he began to look around to find a decent place to eat. Raido said he began to actively focus more on looking for a chill spot to eat relax and carry on with this day. "Well I'm not sure where to even begin to tell you about myself so ill ask you what about me peaks your interest and Ill go from there". Raido said as soon found a decent spot the two could peacefully eat at and finish the interesting conversation motioning the women to come forward. "Thanks, I really appreciate it." she said as she walked with him to the spot. They sat down. Everyone was eyeing them as it was unusual for the Hokage to go out of the mansion with a random guy. "Now tell me, where are you from? I would like to know your origins and where you were born, why did you become a wanderer seeking to flow the breeze as you told me. There must be a story behind you, I would very much like to hear it." she said to Raido ignoring the people around her. She was surprised that Raido told her what she wanted to hear as he talked about her beauty, not only that, but how she is as useful as male shinobi, despite being a female. The word origins once again popped up and this time there was little to wiggle room around, so Raido decided to come clean somewhat. He would of course leave out certain aspects of his history such as the forced experiments of Orochimaru and Kabuto in Project: Rebirth. "Well this may surprise you but I was actually born here in Konoha to the Uchiha Clan. I am a surviving member due to being on away on a mission when the massacre took place. When I returned you could imagine my surprise hearing the entire clans was wiped out. I used that as a cover to leave the village. From there I moved to Yamagakure and later Amegakure where I stay currently". Raido said as he skipped over certain details of his checkered past. "I go with the wind because I don't have a a true place I call home, nor do I have a central loyalty to a village. I answer and report to no one, but myself. Instead my loyalty lies with the great people who I have met over the years on my travels, the experiences I have created and learned. Even when I am on missions I handle business, but I enjoy being able to do my own thing". Raido said as he wrapped who he was in so few words without boring the woman about him. He also looked around and saw the eyes of the other villages gawking at them both, and even heard someone talk about his weird eyes. She was very surprised when she knew he was an Uchiha, she concluded that his rippled patterned eye is the Rinnegan, she didn't see it before, but she hear all about it. She then got closer to Raido when he was looking at the people who surrounded them, she grabbed his chin and directed his face towards her "Don't pay attention to people, they will get you no where." she said with a soft tone. "So Raido-san, when are you deciding to .... settle down? I mean I will gladly welcome you here in Konoha, your birth place, trust me, you will be of great assistance to me. I'll tell you a secret." she said as she leaned in towards his ear. "you might even be the next Hokage." she whispered. "Now I will tell you why I want you by my side. You're a handsome guy, you know how to talk and how to treat a woman, and you possess the sage's ultimate Dōjutsu, the Rinnegan. Indeed, I've heard much about it, I heard description of what it looks like. I confirmed it was Rinnegan the moment you said you belonged to the Uchiha. So what do you say?" Raido grabbed the Hokages hands hands and placed them into his. His larger hands covering her completely. All play and no work made Raido a very dumb man. He said as he repeated what he said to Fūrin early on. This time he switched to all play and no work. "There are things in Amegakure that I have started and must see through to the end, no one likes a man who starts something he can't finish". Raido said as met Fūrin's gaze with an equally strong one. "Just keep that spot open for me and ill be sure to make it clear that when I do come home you will never regret putting your faith in me". Raido said as he zeroed in on Fūrin. Though Raido's focus on the woman, Raido was still benefiting from the shared visions abilities of the Rinnegan, seeing through Yama's eyes. HJis ability to sense dukkha he could sense the envy and jealousy mong the other men who were gawking at the two as they enjoyed their evening. "Very well then, I will not pressure you since I know how it's like when one has unfinished business. I'll keep that place reserved, and I'll trust you about coming back. I admit, it has been a wonderful evening. It's too bad you didn't decide to stay here. Anyways, life never give you everything you want, even if you're the Hokage." said Fūrin with disappointment at Raido's decision. The corner of Raido's lips turned up with a half-smile. "Easy, easyyyyy, you still get what you want its just not right now. When I give my word I keep it and that said I may not be able to come through now, but you can bet when I do come back home it will be right on time". Raido said with a confidence that he intended to keep his word. "Like I said my loyalties lie with the people I meet and come close with not villages, you and I get along real well". Raido said leaving a hint of a future return. Raido stood up from the table and looked around and gave a flippant look to the other who were watching him. "I can always comeback to visit since I have means of fast travel, but as a man I can't let this lovely night end with you disappointed. You seem to have great skills, and your confidence in them combined with rumors I told you about still is fresh in mind. They say be careful what you wish, but I ain't wishing, I'm asking. May I have this dance". Raido said as he held his hand out to her and pointed near a open area training field. Plenty of room for the two to have a quick sparring match to close their night out on a much better not. Raido way of of fighting he often looked at as dancing due to his battle style of capoeira Fūrin smiled as she grabbed his hand softly and stood up saying with a low fragile tone "my pleasure." as she walked with him to the training grounds, she was about to test his skill in battle. She was sure that someone who wields the Rinnegan would be quite strong, let alone being one of the famous Uchiha. She knew she might have been in for the fight of her life. She looked at Raido as she kept her distance from him. "Be my guest". The two of them walked far away from any villagers or shinobi in order to take their space and not hold back. There were miles that separated them from any civilization. They were out in an open feild intended for heavy training. This feild could occupy many shinobi and it was a perfect place for the collision of the two. Raido walked over to his other side ensuring each had their own space to to work. Raido once more looked over the woman's figure before he began to put together in his head the learning process of this spar and her movements. Raido wasn't looking to win this fight anymore than he was trying not to lose, he just wanted to enjoy the evening dancing with the woman before he left. This woman is not Hokage for nothing Raido it would behoove you not to take her lightly. Yama said as he spoke within Raido's mind. Raido was rather surprised that Yama managed to keep quiet the entire time the two were out together, but was happy none the less. "You name the rhythm of the song you want to dance to and ill match your steps, or maybe even change the flow of the dance. Raido said as he kept his smile on his face". Raido always kept a certain confidence about him whether he knew what he was getting into or not and for now both Raido and Fūrin had the element of surprise on their side. "Well then, Raido-san. I did tell you, I became the captain of the assassination squad, that wasn't an irrational decision of the ANBU higher-ups, you know" said Fūrin indicating her skill of assassination. She weaved two hand seals, the horse followed by the dog. "Tenkūgakure no Jutsu" said Fūrin as she disappeared in thin air as if she just instantly vanished. She then created a clone, which proceeded to run at Raido with great speed, the clone was covered as well, preventing Raido from seeing her even with his Dōjutsu. The clone didn't make a single shred of sound as Fūrin was the best shinobi to ever practice Silent Killing. The clone took out two Kunai and flowed her chakra into them, extending the blade and sharpening it to a very high degree where it can cut through steel. She then attempted to injured Raido's right knee with the first and his left thigh with the second. Fūrin applied Body Flicker Technique to her movements, which made her move with blinding speed as she was said to be at Shisui's level in body flicker. That was the reason for Fūrin being called Shikaze, meaning Death breeze, her attacks are swift and lethal yet gentle and silent. Looks like she does indeed know about the Rinnegan's ability to see chakra, as well as the chakra points in the body as well. Blinded but Raido didn't mention he was a sensor one who could sense something that was not chakra. His ability to sense dukkha came in the clutch when opponents went to blind him first. Raido was so use to people taking away his vision first that was almost upsetting when they didn't. Thanks to these sensory abilities he was able to pick up to decipher that Fūrin created a clone while she stayed back hidden behind this jutsu. However this clone approached him at high speeds. Thanks to his quickness in mid to short range distances he was able to react quickly enough. Raido opened his right hand toward the ground and used his Chakra Receiver Manifestation ability as the rod shot form underneath the sleeve on his right wrist. The rod connected with the ground and extended its length greatly thrusting him into the air. By leaning his body weight forward he effectively pole vaulted over the attacking clone and threw himself forward at decent speeds detaching the extended rod underneath his sleeve. "So much for going on the offensive, I need to figure out the range of her jutsu and where it ends. It seems that she uses her own body as the epicenter for where the jutsu originates however if I extend my reach further from her I should be able to escape. However with this action hopefully she will assume I am a sensor. However I did learn something important here, she is clearly a Wind Style User, a damn good one.". Raido said as he soared through the air from his pole vault. Thinking back to the principles he learned about Wind Release from his battles with Fa' rao, Kohana Uzumaki and Ryūken Senju. "He doesn't rely on chakra for his sensory, now that's interesting." she thought as Raido was in mid-air. Her clone made the bird hand seal, the clone then said "Fūkōshu", which was the name of the technique used. It was basically gathering a huge amount of compressed and pressured air into a thin highly compressed layer on the opponent, in this case, Raido. This technique was very strong and it was said to have the ability to restrain even those with huge physical prowess. Simultaneously, the real Fūrin was on the move, she created a Wind Grenade right behind Raido who was suppose to be restrained mid-air by the first technique. However, Fūrin set the power of the explosion to the degree where it would heart Raido, but no where near life threatening. Raido sensed no serious movement form either of the real Fūrin or the clone. Which troubled him even more. Right now I am on they have home advantage and- Raido began to feel his movement slowed for no apparent reason. What if like Fa' rao she can use and create Airspace to corral me, meaning this is a trap!!!. Raido quickly used to erase his physical body and became intangible but immediately behind him a explosion took place behind that nicked the back of Raido giving him minimal damage and blasted him forward before he became intangible. The concussive force was powerful but quick thinking saved him from more serious damage. Due to the enhancements he gained from those fives long years of being experimented on in Project Rebirth Raido's body would quickly heal minor damage such as that. He was still intangible as he began to conduct an inner analysis on her style. "Whatever technique back there seemed to be able to alter the pressure of wind around me which slowed me down and conveyed my movement. The girl came prepared, but two can play that game. Raido said as recovered in the air and clapped his hands together.He was still trapped in Fūrin's jutsu but he had a plan. Lets add a different style of pressure into the equation. Wind is powerful but is still affected by gravity. Raido slammed one of his hands on the ground and used Yin-Yang Release:Terrestrial Pressure, a series of massive walls obsidian black walls rose from the ground reaching well into the air. Raido within the confines of these walls began to alter the gravity in the causing it to increase its pressure and forcing matter within the area to the ground. "Wind is a very difficult release to battle however it too obeys the laws of gravity. As the gravity pressure increases the air pressure will be affected as well. Lighter less dense air will be thrown into the sky where the air is lighter and farther away from the altered gravity, while denser more heavier air pressures will be drawn to the ground and dispersed. Either way this hidden technique of yours will be affected and removed from our battle." Raido X said as watched as he knew either way he would break free of her wide range jutsu Fūrin analyzed Raido's movements and the way his body reacted to the blast, she saw that the reaction was slight, as if he avoided most of the blast. I made her suspicious as he was paralyzed a few seconds ago. She saw him move freely and cast his Yin-Yang technique, which lead to Fūrin being suspicious of the intangibility option as it was odd for someone to move freely under this strong technique. She then felt the air getting drawn down. However, when it came to wind, Fūrin was a master. She noticed that the high pressured air was getting drawn down and the light one is getting pushed up. She could feel that thanks to her extreme proficiency in Air Domination. She quickly analyzed the situation and made a strategy. She felt the pressure of the air on top of her so she had to take the aerial way. She used Chakra Suspension Technique to rise up to the low pressured air where the atmosphere was much better and much more bearable. She was seventy percent sure that Raido was suing an intangibility technique so she increased the pressure on the top of his head greatly, which means it's suppose to be drawn down. This however is not visible to Raido as he cannot feel that unless he becomes tangible. This became more of an indicator of when Raido becomes tangible as he would be surprised and instantly affected by the air on top of his head. The clone retreated to Fūrin once more. Fūrin was hovering a fair distance above the ground. "She's not using the Wind in the way I was expecting, but rather in subtle ways that are much sneakier, and much harder to counter. She fights much like Fa' rao but on a grander scale as she relies solely on wind it seems where he would resort to Dust Release. However it seems her moves only affect a certain radius at a time meaning she is a perimeter based fighter. Her range is extremely wide and I wont get any openings at this rate". Raido said as he looked up clearly he could see again but he could nothing while still intangible. Raido paid close attention to the where Furin was and looked back at where this spar all too place. Raido began to calculate a battle plan in his head that began to make sense. "I have a plan, its risky but with her control over the air I now it will work. I just need the perfect bait. Raido said as he looked around and saw on one volunteered to step up to play the bait. Well looks like all eyes on me". Raido said as he released his intangibilty technique and was immediately hit by the air pressure that followed as his moves were slowed. "Its a bit different from the pressure Gravity can apply but in order to do make this plan work its a sacrifice I am willing to take". Raido said as he was now affected by the change in pressure. A risky move but Raido needed it this way. Now all that remained was how well Furin would play into the trap. Step 1 complete.... Fūrin was a master strategist. Her intelligence was notable and her quick wit as well. "Now I wait until I see a sudden change in his balance, then I would know if he's using an intangibility technique. He seems to be the smart type, meaning that I should be careful" she thought to herself as Raido became tangible, she noticed the shock on Raido's body from becoming tangible, she then knew that he was using an intangibility technique. Without wasting time, Fūrin made three wind grenades that surrounded Raido closely in a triangular shape, she then triggered the three in order to make a big explosion. She knew that Raido would be slowed down and that he wouldn't be able to keep up with her fast ninjutsu as she created the grenades in about two seconds, which was the strength of that technique, it can be created with great speed. However, that technique couldn't be created without being noticed as the amount of condensed chakra is great so it would be highly detectable. Raido's movements were impaired, but his ability to use certain moves were not. Raido who since removed the jutsu that stopped him from seeing used Yama linked vision to see the compressed chakra in the three forms. Raido channeled his power through Deva Path and used Shinra Tensei a move that allows one to repel all matter using their body as an epicenter. Rather than creating an actual force blast. Raido created a zone based repelling field which would allow him to funnel the chakra smoother and project it around his body and dispelling Fūrin's ninjutsu by repelling it using focused zone gravity around himself. "You may have limited my speed and impaired my movements, but not how I can use my jutsu". Raido said as even in this marginal disadvantage his confidence did not wane. "I told you before the spar even began You name the rhythm of the song you want to dance to and ill match your steps, or maybe even change the flow of the dance". Raido said repeating his earlier statement and so far lived up to that. Raido was content with playing defense for the time being. "I can't make it too easy for you now can I? otherwise you will think I wasted your time". Raido said as he winked slightly Fūrin smiled "Of course, it wouldn't be fun if you got beat so easily now would it?" she said. Fūrin analyzed Raido's movements, she knew that she slowed him down. However, she needed to trick him in order to get a hit on him. She used Hiding in Air Technique once more as she spread her chakra on a very wide radius consuming even Raido, Fūrin was invisible, yet that wasn't her intention. She knew that Raido could see chakra so she wanted to block that effect by spreading her chakra wide to the point where it covered most of the battlefield. The next step was a sound diversion. By moving the air currents using Air Domination she managed to make sounds from everywhere that surrounded Raido. And for the grand finale, she molded chakra as she released it from her fingertips creating hundreds of wind blades swirling towards Raido. Fūrin mastered this technique to the point where the wind blades make very very slight sound. The Blades' sharpness was enough to cut steel, Fūrin didn't overdo it with the sharpness of her blades in order to ensure Raido won't die. Fūrin managed to pull off a really nice attack since she used the first technique to disguise herself and every thing around her. Her second move, which was moving the currents was intended to disguise the sound of the wind blades. She spread her chakra allover the field so that Raido couldn't see the wind blades with his Rinnegan. He would even have a hard time to know that they even existed as Fūrin was disguised by her technique so her movements were undetectable. The sound of the blades was almost completely disguised by the wind and there were hundreds of blades rushing at Raido. Fūrin was awaiting his next move. Time for step two. Raido said as he fell to the ground by no longer resisting the air pressure and landed on his stomach. She's blocking my vision again, but for this I don't need it for this part. Asura Path Raido said as he channeled his power through the path and quickly propel himself forward by emitting a burst of chakra from holes in their feet. "My own movements are impaired but by getting a boost I can break free of the range of this air pressure". Raido said as he quickly shot forward. He heard the sounds of roaring winds all over and couldn't tell of the impending attack as he quickly flew through the blades of wind which sliced Raido in various points of his body and outfit as he flew forward. "Shit with all the sounds of wind I couldn't hear her use this move". Raido said as he press forward under the chakra he emitted from his feet which propelled him without him making his own movements. Breaking free of the pressure slightly he held his arm forward which was getting sliced by the blades of wind and manifested his Demonic Statue Chains which as long as one of his rods were out he could use. By connecting with the huge rod he created earlier in the fight he used that as a way to pull himself faster to the giant rod and pulled free of the blades of wind by using the gathered forced of his velocity by his own technique. As he managed to gain some distance between him and the perimeter he managed to break free of the range of the technique and throw himself on the other side of the giant rod landing gracefully on the ground where he could finally see again. "Nice set of moves there, but I had a few of my own. I was going to set up another attack after this but I have seen all I need to see out of you. In all my years of battle, I don't say this to flatter you but in respect to your abilities. I ain't never seen someone use Wind Release quite like you". Raido said as he looked over his body and saw the wounds that were left on him before he managed to escape her jutsu. Cuts were apparent all over his body and outfit, and even blood poured from a few of the slashes. Raido winched a bit but soon right before the eyes of Furin the wounds due to the them being small minor wounds began to heal within moments after getting them. Small steam emitted from the once open wounds as the now closed and Raido save for his outfit looked all but untouched. Raido looked over to Furin's area knowing she saw it. Remember when I said what about me peaks your interest and if so ask. Well looks like I know what your next question may be and I've got some explaining to do. Raido laughed a bit as he tightened both his gloves. He already knew what was going to happen next. "I see you have fast regeneration, Raido-san. It is intriguing that you managed to get through all of these blades. However, there is something beyond fast when it comes to you regeneration. The wounds on your skin quickly healed, where in another case, for a normal person. It would have been lethal since he would have lost a lot of blood. Impressive to say the least" said Fūrin as she flew on her chakra platform. "Thanks I got them as a child. I wish I could say I got them for being at the top of my class but that's not the case here. See my childhood was a bit different from how most children grew up to say the least. See what happen was whe- Raido stop as he looked over to Furin who seemed to be interested in listening to the rest. However Raido quickly tried to switch off the subject. "You may not take me serious for this but where can I sign up to get as good with the Wind Release as you? The style is far more powerful than I gave it credit for especially in your hands. When can we start this teaching Huh?" Raido X said as he started walking toward Furin. Hoping she wouldn't corner him about how he got those regeneration powers. Fūrin got down on the ground as she was flying, she then got off of her platform to face Raido. "Raido-san, I'm not naive. Stop trying to run away from the subject. Now please tell me the secret behind your augmented regeneration" said Fūrin as she cornered Raido after noticing that he was straying away from the subject. The one thing Raido detested above all us was explaining his past. Long as his hair was it wasn't long enough to hide his face. "Well guess ain't no getting around it so we mine as well go through it". Raido said as he sat on the ground indian style and got comfortable. I was a child around 5 years old at the time during the war and next thing I know I saw huge light in the sky and I was hit by a massive shockwave and knocked completely out cold. A man Warujie said he found me as a child among some destroyed village passed out. He called himself promised to help me get my memory put in me in Project:Rebirth in which instead of helping regain my memory both tried to force the evolution of a Rinnegan using my body so he could take over later. Warujie was experimenting on me based on the data he gathered from the stone tablet hidden in the Uchiha secret meeting place. For seven years I was experimented on with the DNA of Hashirama Senju to boost my physical capabilities and life force. Placing me in various test of life or death situations. As well as the DNA of Madara Uchiha to amplify my own Uchiha Cells and strengthen my dojutsu should it manifest. By the time I was eleven my physical abilities exceed that of any child my age, and even most adults. I had unnatural increases in both speed and power by the time I was Eleven, I had intensified durability and endurance, and gained the Hashirama's regeneration powers". "However I still did not manifest the eyes, so I was sedated and put back in for more splicing and testing until a few years later when I was 14 he gave up and left me abandoned in a test tube in one of his labs. As the power to the facility slowly waned so did my life support systems to breath, and in those last few moments I felt a power surge through me that made me feel like I was someone else. It was there at 14 on the brink of drowning in my own test fluids a voice reached out to me named Yama and I broke free and escaped. I learned two things that day. One Warujie lied to me two he would pay dearly for it". Raido said as he balled his fist up as just bringing it back up caused the once confident grin slowly warp to one of anger. However he took a deep breath and resumed his normal expression. "Long story short from the age of 5-15 I was a experiment. Project:Rebirth. Fighting for my life, killing just to survive to see another day only for it happen again and go back into a test tube. Basically what my childhood consisted of. Don't remember anyone before that, not my mother, not my father, or even if I had a brother or sister. Fast forward to today where I have all these wonderful gifts and powers as now all of that is apart of me, whether I want it or not". Raido said as he stood back u on his feet. dusting himself off in the process. "And that is how you turn a frown...well upside down into smile and something good". Raido said as he turned his gaze back toward Furin who seemed disturbed about the childhood forced on him. Not much of a childhood, but I would like to go back and find that lab just to burn it down. Fūrin was amazed by his story, he had a sad expression on her face, and also one with a hint of curiosity. "Oh how horrible" she said as she got close to him. Fūrin felt awful for what happened to Raido as a child. It was feelings she never felt before. The reason for her sympathy with Raido is that she had lots of trouble with her childhood as well, which made her sensitive to the subject. Fūrin leaned towards Raido as she embraced him. "This is nice" she thought during her hug with Raido. "But should I be really doing this?" she thought. "I'm so sorry" she added. Raido felt the hug and used his arm to place it over her's as well. "Don't be. Those experiments as heinous and painful as they were winded up becoming a hidden blessing". Raido said as his long shaggy ponytail drifted slightly over his shoulder in the breeze. "Bad as it may have seemed there is probably someone who had a worse childhood than even me". Raido said looking on the bright side of things. The bright side of things often was just a small feint light in deepest abyss but that was all someone people needed. However it did not excuse Raido from the trauma he long since put behind him. Raido pausing for a moment just realized what was going on here and how the Hokage just shared in the sentiment with him. "I take it you had a rough background as well coming up a child. Seems my background affected you more than just on one level, but several". Raido said as he could feel her sense of dukkha. He lacked the skill of Yama to determine what the origin was, but he was certainly aware of it. "Don't be stingy now share your background". Raido said as he tried to lighten the mood slightly. We can finish the spar another time. Fūrin backed away for a second as she looked at Raido. "Mine wasn't as saddening as yours. I grew up in a rich mansion, my father wanted a son, and he hated me for that sole reason, I wasn't a boy. No matter what I did, it didn't seem to matter to him. he always treated me badly and I never got his attention growing up. My father got these "phases" where he got really angry at the smallest of things, it was sort of a psychological illness. During one of these phases, he killed my mother in anger after he lost much money on a deal he made. My father was then sent to jail. It was painful for me to grow up without their love, not even that, it was more difficult to grow up with their hate. And, in the end, I lost both of them" she said as she explained her past to Raido. Raido stood back up on both of his feet standing at his full height as he relaxed his shoulders. "I see well to you it may not be as saddening as mine but to live through it and have to look back at it doesn't make it feel any better. They say for some your past defines what your future will be that being said your past has no reflection on your future. I can see where your motivation comes from and how you worked hard to ascend to the highest level you could. You can't change the past any more than I can, but what you do control is your present and future". Raido said as he looked in the far distance. Speaking of the present and future I say this has been one helluva of a night out, not a normal date by any means but one worth remembering. I can't wait to see what our future holds when I come back to visit you in between my missions till I finally come back for good". Raido said as he changed the subject to something more delightful. Who knows We might be able to have another night like this. "Of course, it was a wonderful night, I enjoyed myself greatly. I wish you don't take much time to come back nor to visit. It was great to have you here. And ... I guess I'll see you around then." said Fūrin with a smile on her face. "Same to you just don't have too much fun without me in the mean time". Raido said as he knew it was time to head off and pretty soon get back to work. Raido couldn't put his finger on it but coming home wasn't such a bad idea after all. It wasn't just come here and read the stone tablet anymore than leave. He found something worth actually coming back to enjoy As such Raido kept his word and visited as often as he could in between his missions and travels......
