JackFoxGaming24: here is the next chapter
"Ozma you fool, such arrogance coming from you of all people. Why do you keep cling onto these ... humans, they are nothing more then parasites to us. They know nothing and will know nothing of their grand past, they're forever trapped in ignorance, hate, & fear. Reaching out for a salvation from the gods that cursed us both." said a women
He could not see the women, his vision was blurry and he heard the women tsked. Something grabbed hold of his head and made him look at the women.
The women was nearly colorless. Black, White, and red were her colors. Her face was like chalk white and you could see the black veins pumping some kind ichor through he body. Darkness covered her body as if her 'clothes' has a rhythm of its own. But her eyes was what hurt him, they were glowing red with black sclera.
Her hands touched his cheeks, they were cold and were sapping the heat from him
"But for all your sins, I still forgive you. Now, now all I want is to teach you the folly of your goals, to show that humanity will betray you in the end. I will teach bit by bit. by bit. by bit. by bit ..."
Her fingers dug deeper
deeper
deeper
deeper
He could feel them touch his bones, very close to his own heart. The women realized this and smiled
She stabbed his heart and crushed it
KONOHA
"GAAAHHH—W-Where ... it was all a dream, just a memory" Naruto gasped. Looking out the window the sun was still rising and had he still had a clock it would be ringing.
His past memories worked equally fine.
He could feel Ozpin on the edge of his mind but did not respond. The man knew what he was going through, it was part of the process of merging their souls. Painful but necessary, the problem was that they were starting to get older.
Much older
From what ozpin told him he already passed through around 2,000 years worth of memories. But still had many more to go through. Getting up from the bed he washed himself before making a nice breakfast of cereal, milk, and mug of coffee.
"More memories about her"
"Yeah, more about ... Salem" said Naruto. He could feel the guilt and shame from Ozpin. Naruto always hated the memories with her in them, they brought more than just pain or anger, they brought sadness, guilt, and regret. And ozpin still has not told why he felt such emotions, explaining that the memories did it better or he should ignored it for now.
He never liked the response but could not do anything about it, unless he wanted to walk through the memories by himself. Which he never did, all previous incarnations he met said the same.
To go back before you are ready is horrible choice.
"You should not be far from getting midday, a few more years and you will be there. Once you do the memories will start to go by faster until the very end, but I warn you these past memories are not kind nor are they something to be proud of" he warned.
Naruto understood, they had a lot skeletons in their closet and the less about them the better. He grabbed his cane and began his first day as a genin

"Kakashi sensei, theoretical scenario, but how bad would it be if the demo—cat had an uh ... unfortunate incident? The kind that puts them under five feet?" asked Naruto.
"Well in this, theoretical, scenario the wife the daimyo would be very upset which could have cause, theoretical, issues down the line. Plus it will be theoretically less fun, for me" said Kakashi.
"I really hate you right now sensei" naruto grumbled. This was not what he expected as a genin, chores they were doing chores of all things. If this what a ninja did he should gone for a different route instead. The only 'good' thing is that is his misery was shared with his teammates as they were annoyed by it to.
"Now you jest naruto" he ruffled his hair "Besides, with that we'll conclude the missions for today. Right now team 7 has over 5 D-rank missions under our belt, pretty good for our first day."
"You mean your going to train us?" asked Sakura, hoping for something interesting.
"Mm, I guess I could spend some time. Alright, follow me kiddies, same training ground as yesterday" he vanished leaving a spiral of leaves.
...
"You three are going to have to clean that up" said sarutobi

"... This ... this is stupid" said Sasuke and his other teammates agreed. All three of them were tied up by their legs and arms, in front of them was a physical course that the academy made them do.
This was a team building exercise.
"Hm? You said something sasuke, I couldn't hear over the inaction" Kakashi called out.
"What in the world are we doing. How is this suppose of help us, we already went through this in the academy" said Naruto.
"Teamwork"
"B-But why do we need more teamwork exercises?" Sakura insisted.
"Because you three need more work. Sure you guys can work together but that isn't going to cut it in the real world. You guys need to understand each other's strength and what your teammates may do, you need to have a hundred percent trust between each other. So what are you three waiting for, get going" kakashi explained.
The three grumbled and struggled to get through the course with them nearly tripping over each other. By the time they all made to the end each them were ready to call it. Kakashi walked up the trio and showed a sign with a 6/10 on it.
"Not bad, but it can be better" he said "But we'll call it for today, instead let's do some sparing, I want to know where you guys stand. Naruto & Sasuke will go first, then me & Sakura, we'll change everyday but from now on expect to spar with each other." He cut the bindings and pointed the boys where they will be fighting. The boys went to their side as their readied, with sasuke taking out a kunai and naruto extended his cane. "No jutsus, only your fist, tools, and brains. Treat this like you were fighting for real, if it gets to serious I will step in. Do you any problems"
"No" said Naruto
"..." Sasuke shook his head.
"Well then ... begin!"
Sasuke went first throwing his kunai at naruto before charging in, naruto block the kunai and moved away from the kick aimed at his head. He raised his cane to block the next strike and used his aura to push him back.
Naruto began striking the uchiha with the end of his cane, keeping his distance and landing a few hits on the boys shoulders and side. A wide swing and sasuke was forced to block. He buckled and barely had time to roll out of the punch. Jumping back he pulled two kunai and watched the blonde charged at him.
The two entered into a barrage of attacks as they moved around in a circle. Throwing his kunai sasuke took out a an explosive tag and threw to the ground. Both of them jumped as it exploded. Two shuriken zipped out of the smoke as more followed and naruto was forced to block them. But with each block he felt it harder to move the cane.
"What in the—Ninja wire!" Sasuke tugged the wires as he felt his cane stop. The smoke cleared to show sasuke holding ninja wire with one hand, taking another shuriken he threw it him and forced him to drop the cane. Pulling it back sasuke threw far away and charged at naruto. Sasuke barraged naruto while the blonde was able to hold up against him annoying the uchiha.
Naruto kicked sasuke away and pulled a smoke bomb, throwing it sasuke was forced to cover his face. As the smoke dissipated there was no sign of naruto. He started to look around but there was no sign of him. Grabbing the fallen kunai and ninja where began wrapping the ends and waited. A few minutes later naruto appeared out the woods with his cane.
"Alright then, I guess I should get serious now" he smiled when sasuke looked surprised. With a small burst of aura enhanced speed naruto let out a another barrage but this was faster, much faster. The uchiha blocked the first three jabs before the others jabbed him in the chest, he tried throwing his kunai as naruto used his cane to wrap the wires and pull him closer. He elbowed sasuke and tore the ninja wire from him.
He could see Sasuke was starting to get back up.
Then Kakashi appeared "And with that concludes today's spar between you two. Naruto you're the winner today" he helped sasuke up as he address the two. "Now, I want you to tell what you obverse from each other and strengths/weaknesses. Naruto, why don't you go first?"
"Oh, well I think sasuke's really good at his taijutsu and seemed to be able to use it pretty well. He seemed to be skilled with using ninja wire and was pretty smart for trying to get my cane away from me. But I feel like him charging at me wasn't the best option I mean my cane was used to keep him away" said Naruto.
"Alright, Sasuke, you go next"
"... Naruto's skill with that cane of his was good, it kept me from using any my clans taijutsu's full potential. He was perception was decent and saw when I was using ninja wire on him, but instead of collapsing his cane he allowed me to take it away. Naruto seemed rather reliant on his cane, if I had enough time I could have beaten him at hand-to-hand" sasuke explained.
"Good, now I want you to take in consideration of what each of you said. Try to change your strategies up next time and plan more accordingly, now you two sit down, me and sakura are next" said Kakashi. The battle between them was a quick affair as Sakura used the main academy style taught to them, however she did show skill when she used her smoke bombs and trap making.
Kakashi explained her own flaws and strengths before bidding the three of them and explaining they would do the same thing again tomorrow. He vanished in a puff of smoke. Sasuke was the first to leave as Sakura quickly followed after him.
"Maybe we should go see how Konohamaru is doing" said Ozpin.
"Yeah, I guess we can. Let's go Ozpin" the boy began heading towards Konohamaru's home

"Honorable grandson are listening to me? Please it is very important for you to study the shinobi pillars" said Ebisu. The two were the in the sarutobi clan home. The young boy was being stubborn and wanted to go with to his friends.
"Come on we've been over this a hundred times I'm board" the boy whined.
Before Ebisu could even begin a familiar voice spoke up "Konohamaru, I am sure Ebisu wants the best from you. But perhaps a break would be advised"
"Naruto!" Looking up they saw him sitting on the window still. Ebisu looked annoyed but remembered the deal with the hokage, it was ... embarrassing to learn the truth later on. But the real hokage made his decision.
"Good to see you konohamaru" he smiled when the boy ran up to him "I hope you have been learning from Ebisu."
Ebisu coughed "Of course he is as the best instructor in konoha—"
"But he boring, I want to learn how to fight! Oh can you train me, please!?" the kid ignored the spluttering from his other sensei. He clapped his hands and bowed.
...
Naruto thought on it as he rubbed his chin "Mm, alright. But first we need to get you a something to work with" he looked around the compound before turning to a nearby tree. Going over he striked a nearby branch and grabbed as it fell "Here, this will work for today and tomorrow I expect you to have a real training sword."
Extended his cane he spin and showed off a few moves "We will start with the basic stances, I want to follow what I do and keeping doing it for an hour everyday."
"What? Oh come on I want to learn some real cool moves"
"Now now, we have to start with the basics, without the basics it doesn't matter what I teach you because you will fail" he said "if you can then I'll teach you a cool move or two." That got the boys attention and he eventually followed his stances. With him practicing naruto went over to Ebisu who looked annoyed with him.
"He seems to be taking his stances well, how are his lessons?" Naruto asked.
"The honorable grandsons performance is quite superb his continue lessons will make him a splendid hokage" And he was not needed, but that didn't need to be said.
"Yes, I can see that. You do live up to being an excellent instructor" Ebisu puffed in pride "But he is miserable."
"E-Excuse me?"
"He's upset when he has to learn under you Ebisu, sure he can learn under you but he is not enjoying it" Naruto explained "Look at how Konohamaru is when he is practicing my stances, doesn't he look happy?"
Looking at his student ... he admitted naruto was right. "Perhaps your right but that does not mean my lessons are not important. If he is upset then he must endure, there will be times that things won't go his way and must be able to endure that."
"Your are right, but that is not that time. Let the boy live his life, a few hours of joy won't mean his chance of being hokage is over. Happiness and joy are essential for any person, shinobi or not" Ozpin replied taking over for naruto.
"Perhaps but you also agree that there are times when things do not go your way. Surely it will be better to start now then later as an adult. These may be hard but for the honorable grandson it must be done" said Ebisu.
...
"Why do you call him the honorable grandson?" Ozpin asked
"That his who he is, the honorable grandson, he is the descendant of the third Hokage" the jonin answered, confused by the question.
"Konohamaru, that is his name you know. The name his grandfather, the third Hokage, gave him why do you not use it?"
"Of course I know his name, the title given is one of high honor and—"
"You still haven't answered my own question"
...
...
...
"Naruto, Naruto, what are you doing here with Ebisu, aren't you supposed to training me or something?" Ozpin smiled and gently rapped the boy on his head.
"Now there is no need to be impatient. But we can begin with other forms of training ... Alright, how about we do a little sparing. Don't worry konohamaru I will go easy on you, and no bumps this time" the immortal chuckled when the kid rubbed his head.
He raised his cane and motioned it konohamaru "Come, don't just stand there"
The boy raised his stick and let out a war cry, charging at ozpin and attempting to attack him. Naruto blocked his attacks but pushed him to follow the stances, even if he was still learning them. As they 'spared' Ebisu watched the blonde as they fought.
"His stance, it looks so basic no better than the academy style ... no wait, they had to take out that class after the war but it looks so similar" the jonin thought. "Why the hokage would allow such a novice to teach the honorable grandson. Hm, no wait ... is his style is changing? I need to test for myself" Looking at the battle it looked like his fighting style was changing but before he could observe naruto threw the stick from konohamaru's hands.
"And with that we conclude today's lesson" said Ozpin.
"What!? But all you did was show me some stances?" said the kid "Didn't grandpa say I have a few hours with you?"
"You are right but you also have to remember that I am also a ninja now which means I am going to be busy some times" Ozpin explained "But today I merely wanted you to know my stances and get a taste of my fighting style."
"Yes, which is something I want to ask to" said Ebisu "Your stance is quite similar to that once taught in the academy and something I can easily teach to the honorable grandson."
"Oh really?" Ozpin kicked the branch up and tossed it to the jonin "Here, let's spare"
Ebisu nodded as he took the traditional chunin style stance.
Naruto was the first to make the move. As his cane clashed with the branch the two attacked each other with each of them getting nicks and jabs on the side but nothing serious. As the two battled it out and konohamaru watching the jonin was starting to realized something. His attacks, they were starting to being countered.
It started with a block then and there
Then strikes at weaker parts
And for a second he nearly took the branch out of his hand.
"What in the world!? He's ... He's adapting to my fighting style and so quickly!" Yes right before him Ozpin's stances so became counters to his with each strike becoming more defined and harder to counter back. "Is that his style, to be able to adapt to enemies and become a counter to them. Yes, what a powerful style indeed if given the time he could perfectly counter my style"
And he was right. Naruto collapsed his cane as the last and dodged out of the way, bringing it to the man's wrist and activating it again. The branch was dropped and raised the cane to his neck. He had beaten him.
...
"Woah, that so cool! How did you do that!?" the boy yelled as he went up to the blonde.
Ozpin chuckled and collapsed his cane "the same way I taught you. I am sure you already know Ebisu but you Konohamaru my style is focused in adaptability, the stances are indeed basic but are designed to be able to change at a moments notice. Within time you will be able to become a perfect counter to most fighter and a killer on the battlefield."
"Plus I did spend a few centuries working on it, a thank or two would be nice"
"So my thoughts were right" Ebisu said as he dusted himself "I, theorized such when he fought and I am glad I was correct. I ... apologize for doubting you. It seems the Hokage did have reason for having you as a supplementary sensei for konohamaru."
"I thought it was because you got tricked by the naruto-sensei and grandpa thought it was a good punishment" said the kid.
"Partially, but like I said that you conclude your lessons for today, we'll continue later" he waved the child and the sputtering jonin

"This was the most lamest day I ever had" said Naruto. Falling onto his bed the boy was popped out, besides being forced to train konohamaru which was something he did not want to until Ozpin and rest pressured him to, today was just boring and mind numbing. A part of him wondered what to do now? He could do some training but he was just bored and tired.
"Really, I found quite amusing" no doubt the immortal was enjoy this and he was. The idea of D-ranks made Ozma laugh, what a grand idea they were, if he ever got back to remnant that was the first thing he was going to install. Oh the tears of hopelessness and terror from his future huntsmen, it almost brought a tear of joy from the immortal.
"Maybe for because you did nothing but kick Ebisu ass but I had to do all the hard lifting. Seriously, is this what being a ninja is, doing chores. I'd rather quit and go another route, maybe what you said about being an advisor to the daimyo that sounds a lot easier now" said Naruto.
"I doubt that is an option, the whole Kyuubi thing remember" said Ozpin
Oh yeah, that. Naruto had kinda put that on the back burner as he hoped today would be an exciting day of being a shinobi. Taking a deep breath and thinking on the subject he slowly agreed that it would not be an option. Since he was the container for the kyuubi Konoha had every reason to make him a ninja that was ... something his past incarnations would do ... maybe in a kinder way, but the same.
"... Hey, Ozpin. I've been thinking and ... I think I want to see the kyuubi" said Naruto. He could feel the surprise and worry off him.
"And what brought this? You know the kyuubi is dangerous business and their could be chance it could try to end us" warned Ozpin.
"Yeah yeah I know that ... ahh, but I can't just ignore it Ozpin. Because of the stupid fox I got the short end of life because of it and I want to know why it decided to attack konoha in the first place and make my life a shit show" Naruto explained.
The wizard understood his incarnations reasoning, while the history books also told about the kyuubi attack they never explained the why part and that what worried him.
Did that mean the kyuubi appeared out of nowhere or did something else happened, the lack of knowledge concerned him. But yet they also had the very one who could answer their questions right under their noses.
And thus the question: Do they attempt to communicate with the Bijuu or leave it alone?
"Come on Ozpin, I don't think anything bad will happen if we just go. I mean wasn't the fourth hokage some super shinobi, he must have known I would talk to the fox" argued Naruto.
...
"I do not personally like this, but I can not control what you do. There will be a time when I will not exist and you will be the next wizard ... go naruto, this is your choice, not mine" Ozpin gave his opinion.
"Oz ... thank you" entering a meditative position he closed his eye. Drawing his magic everything around him became harder to hear and numb, he felt drowsy but knew why. He was entering into his mindscape, something that very few could do, the reason he could it was thanks to the curse given by the gods, it allowed him to communicate with his other incarnations in times of wisdom.
xxx Mindscape xxx
He snapped his his eyes and smelled roasted coffee beans. Around him was not his room, stone walls, wooden floors, shelves of 'books', and a window that showed an empty white plane.
This was his mindscape, the mindscape of the immortal wizard Ozma.
He looked down at the warm coffee cup, taking a sip ... tasted like Vacuo blend with hints of Mistral roost in there. Always here for him, for every incarnation that entered this scared domain. Getting up he held the old wooden handle, a wood that no longer existed, not here nor remnant.
Opening it he started to head down.
Walking down he could not help but remember when he first came here. He didn't understand the coffee but was awed by the place, Ozpin had explained what this was this castle and the white background was their own world. He was scared at first, he saw how the castle was still 'growing' parts of it literally popped out of the ground. He explained that they were memories of their past lives, each wing had a room, a little sub-scape for each incarnation, a dream world where they may rest in peace until called for.
Ozpin did say the deeper you went the fewer rooms you would find, until you got to the end but that has yet to happen. The final room, the first and second incarnation never appeared. When he asked he said it was better that he waited then making it come closer. He still never understood why thou.
Still, the man did explain he could always enter the rooms, each one showed the different time of the incarnation and allowed to that person memories and even to talk to the spirit.
That was their spirit, their many followers had always assumed their soul was one giant aura with Ozpin at the helm.
Couldn't be farther from the truth, it was more like a ... network of different spirits each one given their own space.
Each incarnation was different from the other, they may have the same memories but how they acted and did with them was different with each one. One incarnation may want war while the other may want peace.
As he walked down the steps the walls started to change and water was felt on the ground. Steam and metal pipes were all around him. This was his part of the mindscape or maybe the correct answer was that it belonged to the kyuubi. They were multiple corridors offered to him but each one was shadowed.
...
"Now which one was the real one?" wanting to try something he clapped his hand "Earth Style: Rock Clone Jutsu"
Nothing happened.
"Alright then, maybe a little bit of magic will wo—"
GGGRRRRR
That came from the third corridor on the left ... how ... nice. He went through that corridor, it was nearly impossible to see any light but as he walked through he saw something. It was light, another room! Increasing his pace he nearly rushed to the light as it his showed it was a massive room.
And in front center was hundreds of steel bars with a slip of paper on it that said 'seal'
This was where the Kyuubi was or should be.
"So this is where you been huh!? Well you can come out you know" Naruto demanded.
Silence greeted him
He waited
Nothing
"Great, now the fox doesn't want to talk to me. ~sigh~ Guess I should turn back" What a great first attempt, he could see a few incarnations chuckling to this.
Something slammed into his back, he nearly tripped, but that was before the massive chakra spike, that even he could feel, then he tripped. Getting up he saw the water vibrate and the entire place shook. Coming from the shadow he saw a snout, the the rest of the face. It was the Kyuubi no Kitsune in it's full glory.
...
...
...
"Well, has my presence taken your breath?" No, but also yes, not that he would say it.
"So your the Kyuubi huh? Your ... exactly what I expected" he said honestly.
"Then I am glad I could meet your expectations immortal. It is a rare treat to see a fellow immortal these days. So what brings a divinely blessed being as you to my humble abode?"
Crap, so the fox knows about the curse, or at least the whole divine part of it. "I did not expect you would know of my curse or of its origin Kyuubi."
"I could easily sense it when you began to change, two years ago you were a pathetic mortal no more worthy than an afternoon snack. But now you are ... tolerable, perhaps respectable if given time."
How nice, so from meat bag to a somebody, what a real promotion there. Naruto scratched his head "You know I was kind of expecting you to come and you know be ... demoney or something: You know the whole 'I'm going to eat you or something' you know, that?" he explained.
"Like I said, you are interesting immortal. Those powers of yours, and your immortality, all of it is fascinating to me. Especially him" the pointed behind Naruto. Turning around, it was Ozpin!?
"Ozpin!? What are you doing here, shouldn't you be back at the castle or something?" He was shocked seeing the headmaster here, he thought this was going to be naruto thing.
"Well I was going to allow to deal with Kyuubi on your own, that was until the Kyuubi shook the castle. After that it was simply following you and that massive aura of hate and anger. No offense"
"None Taken"
"Ok, well now your here Ozpin. So uh what do we do now, this isn't what I expected this meeting to be" said Naruto.
"True, but if the Kyuubi is willing to cooperate then we should respond in same. Civility naruto, we are not barbarians" said Ozpin, he turned to the Kyuubi "So you are the legendary fox demon everyone talks about. Hm ... well you are certainly no demon, you seem more like a ... being of energy, or chakra."
"An astute observation immortal. I am no demon in the technical term, but humans are so bad at remembering what a real demon is and if they insist on calling me one who am I to disagree" the being chuckled.
"Yes, humans can be ignorant ... most of the times. But in my experience ignorance is a bliss that is more preferable than the truth" said Ozpin "However, it is intriguing to see sentient energy, Oobleck would have love to know more about you but I think you would have more likely ate him."
"Perhaps, but I admit I do have questions about you too, it does seem quite unfair for you to ask all the questions" said the Kyuubi. Both Ozpin and Naruto looked at each other, they could press for more info but that would mean hampering whatever relations they had with the being, Naruto did not like especially but they had no choice.
"Very well, We will answer one question of your choice and vice versa. We stop when we are tired or get board" said Ozpin he used their magic to create a coffee jug, three cups, a table, chairs, and an array of snacks "Coffee?"
"Yes please"
The two moved the table into the creatures cell, making sure to angle it where Ozpin could push naruto out if something went wrong. He poured them all a steaming mug Vacuo Golden Sands blended with Mistral Red Mountain.
And that was how they had coffee with the Kyuubi
"This is good, though it needs a bit of sugar" using a tail it grabbed a few cubes and twisted it around "Much better. Now, for my first question, what is your name?"
"His is Naruto Uzumaki and I am Ozpin—"
"No, not the names you wear now. Your true name, the one you hide"
"... Ozma, we are Ozma"
"Ozma ... Ozma ... what a peculiar name, so foreign and unique" the bijuu rolled the name, never had he heard such a name not even back during the time of his father "That concludes my first question, now what is yours?"
"Yours, I mean you asked ours so you too" said Naruto
It nodded "Kurama, that is my name. I would prefer you to not use it ... but your blonde form tells me other wise. But now it is my turn, tell me how is a being like you capable of using powers normally reserved for Gods? If I was younger I may assume you were Gods yourself."
"The name of our power is magic, it was gifted to us the by the Gods many years ago. It was a time when magical beings like us existed" Ozpin explained. "Now for my question, how did you appear on the night that you attacked Konoha?"
And like that the mood changed, from the shadows they felt the being tightened as it claws shook it's cup, nearly spilling it over. Ozpin got up and was about to push naruto out when it stopped. There was tension in the air but the beast looked to have controlled it.
"Ah yes, that night. That is not a night I enjoy talking about, but to answer your question I did not attack Konoha willingly. I was summoned to your village by someone else"
...
"WHAT! Wait your saying someone brought you to Konoha!? WHO!?" Naruto demanded.
"No"
"W-What?"
"That is my answer, I will not answer anymore of that night. If you wish to keep things civil I insist that you drop the subject" Permanently was the unsung word.
Naruto looked like he was ready to keep pushing, and Ozpin understood why. That was why he slapped naruto's mouth and mouthed him 'later', the boy was angry but the hard stare from Ozpin forced him to relent, for now. The two nodded as they felt the tension leave.
"This is my next question, how did you come to this world. You are not from here nor this world, unless humans have found a way to break another divine rule when I was asleep"
"You are right, I am not from this world and I did not come here willingly. An ancient adversary of ours used a new technique on me and sent my soul here where it merged with young Uzumaki" answered Ozma.
"Fascinating, well then, for my next and final question for today ... how does your immortality work Ozma"
He could hear Naruto hissing as he closed his eyes, just the question they wanted. He thought long how to answer before speaking.
"Kurama, like you when we asked about what happened on the night of Naruto's birth there are things we do not like to speak of. One of them being how my immortality works, understand that their are risk if I told you about it. It is not something I enjoy talking about, my immortality is a strenuous process for everyone involved and I do not know what would happen if I told you about it. So to answer your question I have another question of mine: Why do you care how my Immortality works?"
...
"Hm, very well. I am simply curious Ozma, your entirely existent here is an anomaly and because of that you interest me. If you are scared of me using it to free myself rest assure, when your soul merged with the blonde my freedom went with it. This seal bounds my life force with yours, you die I die. Of course death is not an end for a bijuu, however, your arrive has dashed all my plans and I have no real plans now"
Two answers for the price of one. He could not tell what the fox was saying true or what wasn't. Calling his magic was an option, but he did not want to risk anything.
"Very well, my immortality is more akin to reincarnation. Each time I die my soul is goes to a soul that is similar to myself and our souls eventually merge, with each rebirth I am inevitably changed. But many make the assumption of that or assume I am lying to them.
While each incarnation has the collective memory of previous incarnation and the ability to communicate with them each one works differently. While their soul may be similar how to they act or react to these memories are unique to them, some incarnations may be more prone to sharing our secrets ... while others may not share the same the enthusiasm"
"Hm, what an interesting for immortality, one that insures you are never truly alone in this world" he noticed when Ozpin looked shocked before continuing "But as I said I grow tired of this for now, I hope to continue later Ozma. So much to learn, so much to share. Plus the coffee is quite excellent"
"It is, sadly it's a whole world away now"
"A tragedy"
So for anyone asking how Ozma immortality works think of it like a mix of avatar and the doctor who, while each incarnation the guy how takes the name ozma gets all the knowledge of the previous ones like in avatar. But with each rebirth it works like in doctor who, same memories but a completely different person
