Kazuki's Office

Kazuki returned to his office after his little episode at the glaciers. The evil intentions had risen in his heart however he was in no hurry for world domination. In fact he felt as though he wanted to get some good deeds in before going on a massive destructive rampage.

"I really hate mondays." He sighed to himself.

Shimo had heard a lot about the strength of Kazuki Shikimori and had chosen to visit him in order to ask him to train her. She had traveled to just outside his office using different waterways and reformed herself right outside the office and knocked quietly on the door Samehada resting quietly on her back while her sword sat on her side. "Are you in there Mr. Kazuki-sama" she called.

"Come in" He stated. As she would walk in she would notice a man who appeared to be in his late twenties early thirties sitting behind a large oak desk. Several books stacked on the floor and in shelves and many scrolls with different taijutsu stances covering the walls.

"From your appearance I would presume that you are a possible descendant of Kisame. Well that and the Samehada is resting upon your back. So then getting to more serious issues..... What are you here for?" He stated staring at her comfortingly.

Shimo nodded and smiled, "I am in fact a descendant of Kisame...My name is Shimo Hozuki, descendant of Kisame Hoshigaki and Mangetsu Hozuki. I have come to ask your assistance in my training and aid in my goal to collect the other swords once used by the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist.." she said as she bowed slightly allowing the skull that sits in the top of Samehada's handle to be seen.

Kazuki would stare at the girl for quite some time and think to himself audibly. After a while he blinked and stated. "Eh what the hell I dont have anything to lose." With that he stood up and grabbed his travel pack he always kept besides his desk. He turned to his newest student in front of him and smiled the evil aura starting to dissapate from him.

"Well then shall we begin our quest?"

Shimo smiled as she noticed the tint of evil aura which samehada noticed as well. 'This is going to be an interesting trip...' she thought to herself. "I'm ready when ever you are Kazuki-sama..though I only know where two of the blades are...I know of Samehada which lies on my back and the Sewing needle which is in the possession of another Aurora ninja..which i have decided to be the last one i acquire...so shall we just begin our journey and see where it leads us?" She asked.

"Hmm well then I suppose the first part of the journey can be to toughen you up a bit then we can do some investigating as to where the other blades are." Kazuki stated and for the first time since she met him his old self started to return. His kind disposition seemed to be overiding the evil inside of him as he smiled happily at the girl.

Shimo nodded, "Okay, that sounds good where shall we go to begin our training Kazuki-Sama?" she asked. She noticed that Kazuki's aura had changed, 'this really will be interesting..' she thought as she began to wonder what it was that was causing the change.

"Well my ideal training area would be in a wooded area so follow me along we will begin our travels." Kazuki stated as he walked out the door.

Shimo nodded and fallowed Kazuki silently out of the office.
