"Come on Sean lets talk about it!" Miri followed behind Sean as he walked the day time streets of the village. "Sean. It's not like she hated the experience."
Sean stopped and spun around. "This was just a chance for me to connect to this bloody village! I know what she and many others are after in this world, I'm just turtle that will carry the snail on his back through the swamp. I'm supposed to carry them to their objective."
"What's happening now, and why is Shizune telling me to go to the hokage?" Amari asked.
The both turned to Amari. They were both confused at the girl, this is her second costume change since she entered the village. There was a chance this was a onetime encounter but the outfit itself was different from the last. She wore a solid black bra under a large open mesh shirt that clung to her body. Over that she had on a unzipped thin gray sweatshirt. If she decided to zip it all the way up the tall collar would still cover her mouth and reach the tip of her nose.
"Oh yeah the outfit. Some things happened last night and I needed new clothes. And Kiba's mother was generous enough to give me some."
"Ripped clothes, Kiba, mother." Miri devilishly grinned. "Oh Amari, clothes aren't the only thing you lost last night."
Amari blushed then turned right back to serious. "So why are we being called to the hokage?"
"Of course, that planned Orochimaru had for us. We're doing it."
The group was off to the hokage building. "You three do understand the risks don't you?" Tsunade asked.
"Why wouldn't we? Die or live, either Orochimaru tricked us all and had at least one of us killed in the operation or we become stronger and live." Sean straightened his posture. "Unexpected of me, I'll be the first to take part in the operation."
Tsunade pulled out a white glass bottle and tiny cup from her desk and poured the bottle into the small cup. She sucked down the liquid and jumped from her desk and slammed her hands on the desk.
"Let's go." She demanded.
"Sean!" Sakura screamed. The cart team stopped in their tracks and watched Sakura run at them. She ran to Sean, he already had his arm out for Sakura to grab him. "Sean, Amari told me what was going on. How can you be okay with this? He already plans on killing you."
Sean tapped her nose. "If he wanted me he would've killed me with Sasuke." He looked up at the ceiling. "I'll be fine."
The three women waited outside of the operation room. Hours have passed without a single noise from the room. Shizune pushed open both of the doors with her head lowered. Her arms, chest, arms, and face was covered in blood. She took a deep sigh and looked up with a smile.
"Wow, that took less time than I have ever thought." She laughed to break the awkward silence.
"So it was a success?" Amari asked.
"Yes, his body accepted the chakra line tube and latched onto plenty of the chakra lines in his body. His chakra sucked in the injection fluid and now its regenerating into the tube. Everything that terrible man said so far is true."
"Can we see him?" Miri followed up.
"In fact you can, as soon as his body absorbed the strengthen chakra he woke up instantly."
All of them flung from their chairs and ran into the room. Tsunade was in the corner of the room and was obviously tired. Sean sat up on his bed, he felt both ends of the bandaged tubs. The tube itself was clear and hardened that connected from the back of his head to the start of his shoulders. The tube wasn't full but what was in it was dark blue and shades of purple. The chakra took a physical form inside the tube. It moved around the area it took but never splashed above the flat surface.
"How do you feel?" Miri asked.
"Normal, I mean I have a tube in my neck and so will the rest of you so there's no time to complain about something like this." Sean answered.
"Just give me a few hours of rest and I can get onto the next. By the end of the day I can get all three of you." Tsunade didn't wait for an answer for she walked out before one could be given.
"That's kind've out of character for her." Miri commented.
"She's just surprised Orochimaru didn't end up killing me. She came into this surgery thinking that she was going to be the one to kill me. Even though we didn't enter this village the best way. Without this surgery we would've ran out of syringes and eventually died from withdraw."
Miri was the next person to take on the surgery. Luckily for her her body reacted the same exact way as Sean. Her chakra strands connected to the specially designed ends of the tube and filled part of the tube with a physical form of the chakra. The other half of tube was filled with Orochimaru's chakra enhancers.
Amari was the last to take life changing operation. Orochimaru didn't tell a lie when he told the surgery would not kill them. Tsunade was exhausted from the three straight surgeries. Each surgery she went through she always felt as though one of them were destined to die from this. She was still in the mindset something was wrong. The initial moments may have gone unharmed and now their bodies just needed to recover. Tsunade just waited for a problem to come upon them in an instant. They just solved the problem of when they ran out of the supply. Now the next problem is what will happen.
Three days after the surgery they were on their feet. They didn't wait for the recovery process every doctor recommended. They were still bandaged and patched up and were nowhere near battle ready. They left outside the village and found a spot inside the forest.
Sean stood as a leader to his partners, he faced them with his arms crossed. Sean was prepared to take this time off and had a free vacation ahead. Yet for some reason he found the mindset to teach to open the Tozoto. Maybe now he would be able to summon it easier in his partners with a controlled flow extra chakra.
"Begin." He spoke. Sean disappeared from his position and hid inside the trees.
Miri and Amari closed their eyes and sucked in a portion of the chakra. They opened their eyes to the zig zag filled black eyes. They searched around the area of the forest for Sean. Amari spotted him high above them and pulled out a shrunken from her pouch. She tossed it up his location. Sean pulled his sword out and blocked the shot and jumped through another series of trees. Amari kept her Tozoto on him and was able to follow him.
After Amari found him first, Miri knew she had to step up her game. Something she felt Amari never focused on, she remembered. The ability the Tozoto took from the Byakugan shaped it through time into its own. She followed the wind change he created. She tossed her own kunai to where he went. Sean stopped in his tracks and leaned back. Miri tossed another kunai towards his back. Sean spun around the tree his was on and dropped to the ground.
"Amari follow what Miri did." Sean commanded.
"Got it." Amari nodded her head.
Sean charged through them and sped right past them to straight in the forest. Amari took what Sean said and followed the trail he left behind. She ran her eyes fast enough to catch up to where he was and where he was going to be. She tossed a kunai into the trunk of the tree he started to run up. Sean grabbed the kunai and tossed it back at her. He shot a wind cannon into the blade and changed its direction. Miri saw exactly where the kunai was going to go and moved over. Amari saw the change after the hit took place. She dodged to another side and had the knife fall away from them.
Sean stood on the tree trunk with a smile. Orochimaru planned this years ago. The amount forced inside the body caused to much change to activate such sensitive material. If it's mixed inside the regular chakra flow, it enhances it without destruction.
"What's going on?" Amari flew her arms in the air. "We got this covered don't we?"
Sean appeared face to face with Amari. He tapped her nose, pressed his hand on her chest and tripped the back of her leg. Miri flew a punch at Sean right after he planted Amari to the ground. He leaned back and dodged the attack. He grabbed Miri's arm and yanked her to him. He punched her thigh and grabbed the back of her head to shove her to the ground.
"Almost. The transformation of the injection allows you to control the Tozoto better and steadier. You're learning to use the ability of the Tozoto. The ability to see the target through obstacles, and the predicament of movement through wind. Yet it's too slow." Sean offered a hand for both of his friends. They grabbed his arms and pulled themselves up.
"That's the whole point of this training isn't it? It's the just the first step in all this. We got a while before we are going to be sent out." Amari defended her and her sister.
"I know. That's why I'm here. I have many theories about this transformation and what the Tozoto really is."
"We're on the same pace here right? Maybe there's a chance that we don't have the Byakugan but that the first phase of the eye is its natural form. The fact the entire bloodline of ours is entirely wind chakra and the eye uses that to see differently to learn to predict the movement and the target at all costs. And phase two is just using someone else's kekkei genkai."
"Miri every time to go on a full response I almost forget you're the same person that made lies in that one village to say that I saw you naked."
