[Sunagakure] Amakajiba

"Well you got one anyway, didn't you?" was the white-haired man's retort. Much like Mariketa as she waited, Youko was content to observe and ensure the seal of his application did its job. It seemed to be settling in just fine, but the activity of the other seal was more than a bit disturbing. He had accounted for this when making assumptions about the seal interactions. However, he didn't think the Uchiha's hold was quite this strong. As Mariketa sat with her hands cupped over her ears, he grasped the woman by the shoulders and shook her. "Oi oi! Stay with me here; it needs time to start working!"

Unfortunately, given the state of the young crimson haired girl, Mariketa was unable to properly respond to the retort of Youko. If she had it probably would have been something rather simple and childish. Like pretending to be angry and sticking her tongue out at the man, as per something she would have done during the happier times long before this. Even so, she was trying really hard to fight what was coming, and Youko was doing his part to help. Though she'd succumbed to the darker intentions of the chakra which was poisoning her, she was still fighting it with all her might, until of course, the white haired man touched her. "Onii-chan..." there was a pause in her speech. Something about this touch, set the young woman off immediately and while he was shaking her by the shoulders she rather suddenly looked up at him, and with the swiftness of a practiced martial artist swept his hand away from her left shoulder, and drew back in the milisecond it would stake for a bone spike to pop out she'd already be headed for the place his hand was going, her apparent aim in this moment to spike this man's right hand to the wall by the forge. A sinister grin on her face as she did so. "We can't really allow that can we?" she asked of the starting of the seal. Of course, this wasn't really what Mariketa wanted, but in the interest of keeping Yuichi alive and eventually being ready for his comeback, obviously not letting this seal get too strong a hold would be the top priority. And an outlet for the sadistic tendencies both of these individuals possessed.

As he called out to the redhead, his right hand was knocked away from her person and had a bone spiked through it to affix him to the stone wall nearby. This was obviously a shocking turn of events, but Mariketa had obviously lost control of herself to Yuichi's chakra. As such, there wasn't much else to be done. Spinning clockwise, Youko gripped the bone spike with his left hand, jerking it from the stone and his right palm simultaneously, all while turning to face Mariketa again. "That was fast," he said, twirling the bone around betwixt the fingers of his left hand. "So... I guess we're doing this now. Alright. I'm game."

Mariketa's countenance looked a bit confused. It seemed that she wasn't really prepared for the man to actually free himself from the wall with such swiftness. "I don't think you are, Onii-chan~" she said of his willingness to participate in this game she had planned. Of course, while she was like this she didn't really care what happened, though part of her was still fighting rather solidly to regain control of her body, the part of her mind that was Yuichi went on the attack again. Those red eyes bouncing around as she created another kunai sized bone spike from the middle of her left palm. "I should make the spikes sturdier." Mentioned the crazed redhead, as she charged again, this time a twisting lowering of her body would lead to a sudden upward thrust towards the man's uninjured left hand as she aimed to spike him again. She could do this and wear him down again, until he was more pliable. Most things were after they bled a bit.

"Heh. You'd be surprised. I've been in a really bad mood lately," he said as the bone spike began being tossed lightly into the air, only to be caught after a few spins. As she came his way again, Youko held the retrieved bone as if it were his own weapon, using it to deflect the second one Mariketa created as it came toward his hand. He did this while turning to his left, letting the bones grind against one another as the one in his hand cracked under pressure. This barely mattered. Youko had a very convenient hole in his right hand at the time, and it was his plan to make use of it. As he blocked the secondary bone, he moved his right arm in a rapid sweeping motion, with an open palm, aiming to sling his blood in the woman's eyes. As an individual with a dojutsu of his own, he knew the benefits of being able to use one, and intended to rid Mariketa of this ability for a bit.

"A bad mood, looks like we were wrong~" she said. Though this statement would lead one to wonder who was wrong about what, mostly this was in reference to an earlier statement Yuichi had made in the girl's head about her sister and her husband having made up since the time of his death. Such a thing apparently hadn't occurred yet, or at least this was inferred this way by Mariketa. And as for her attack, it seemed this man was much more swift than one would normally give one credit for, he reacted to the coming attack with the weapon she'd given him the first time, though his was obviously weaker so it snapped as they clashed, he then took this time to sweep blood into the girl's eyes. Which stung and immediately caused them to close. This would normally be a huge hindrance for someone who relied heavily on a doujutsu, but... Mariketa didn't need the doujutsu to be dangerous.

Mariketa took this as an opportunity, her eyes closed she spun creating two forearm length bone knives and then listening for the man's movements she began attacking again, without even bothering trying to clear her eyes. The viciousness and the speed of these bone thrusts could be described as animalistic and if Youko moved to dodge any of the numerous attacks aimed towards his torso, then they'd only become more accurately aimed at his limbs specifically, the girl intended to spike him against the wall, and she'd eventually get her way in this as she tried to blink away the obstruction to her vision.

"Wrong?" he questioned. Though Mariketa remained on the offensive, Youko had at least done himself the favor of disabling her Sharingan. This would be a great enough ordeal if he hadn't produced this handicap, so he resolved himself to make the most use of the time in which she could not see. However, there was hardly time to do much. He had lost proper use of his right hand before the fight even started, which was another heavy disadvantage, but he still made use of the one hand he had by drawing his Bakusaiga in reverse grip. This was how he chose to defend against the flurry of attacks sent his way. In this exchange, he had the advantage of his own dojutsu. He dreaded to think of what it would be like deflecting so many dual-wielding attacks against this woman if she had use of her own eyes, but he had to consider an out before things became too ridiculous. 'Tch! I'll actually end up losing the stamina match-up at this rate. Gyuuki, gimme a boost!' At his command, Youko's Tailed Beast chakra began seeping from his body, producing a chakra cloak with two of its potential eight tails forming. This gave him the added strength and speed to not only continue, but take over the more offensive role in the blade clash. He started pushing forward, continuing his parries while also slipping in numerous attempted attacks of his own in the moments of interim. "For whatever's left of you in there... you're damn good now. I'd have liked to do this without you trying to kill me."

The question posed by Youko was answered as Mariketa adjusted to the man's parrying of her weapons as they fought. "Yes, we thought the two of you would have made up by now, based on the composition of the seal. But it seems like we were wrong." Mariketa mentioned, as her onslaught continued. Much to her surprise as she continued to try and blink away the obstruction of her vision, she couldn't tell why, but Youko's strikes became more powerful and practiced, it seemed the lack of his right hand didn't much matter as she had to create the protection of her rib cage of bones around herself to brace against thrusts of a sword she couldn't simply parry or dodge while she continued to try and fight him. His words came to her ears as one of his sword thrusts finally slipped between bone instead of simply ricocheting off of one, a pause came to the young woman as she finally opened her eyes and saw what had been adding to his strength, tailed beast cloak. "Onii-chan, we aren't trying to kill you." She said as calmly as if she'd been herself, as she pushed herself further onto the sword, one might wonder if she was trying to kill herself again, at least until she spoke. "There'd be no fun in that!!!"

The exclamation came and the young woman's bloody mouth opened up and as she spit a newer version of herself out from the shell stuck to his sword. At this point she'd launch herself forward again, this time with a spinning motion as she aimed to spike him with new bones created by her own growing tailed beast cloak. These would be coated in the Yoton nature transformation and melting into place as she aimed to spike his left and right arms respectively against the wall in a way that would leave him in the seated position prostate to her wishes and her in his lap without her cloak to hinder what she was trying to do.

"Tch!" The scoff which followed Mariketa's statement could not be avoided. A nerve had been struck; that much was certain, but Youko's primary concern was the ongoing battle. Eventually, his forced offense resulted in his blade piercing the flesh between the woman's ribs, telling him the win was virtually his here. Such would normally be the case; however, Mariketa continued moving forward along the length of the blade, speaking more as she did so. It was unfathomable why she did this, but much to Youko's surprise, she had gained more from Yuichi than his Sharingan. When a new body for the redhead emerged from her previous form's mouth, clad in her own Tailed Beast Cloak, his eyes widened. And, before he knew it, two additional bone spikes were driven through his arms to bind him against the stone wall again. These, however, were coated in lava, and thus cauterizing themselves to his arms over the few moments in which they first sat. It was quite excruciating, and as if his muscles wanted to tense, but couldn't. Only guttural groans and a gritting of teeth followed, as Youko's narrowed and moon-filled eyes looked toward the young woman now sitting in his lap. "Crafty... I'll give ya' that. But if you're not gunning for my throat, what should I even be worried about? Gonna put me in chains? Wouldn't be the first time."

Her most recent maneuver was a success, and now Mariketa's possessed self was rather happily occupying the lap of one Katsuhara Youko. The sounds of his pain, and his subsequent commentary about his capture were quite amusing to the crimson haired lass, and as such she rather playfully laughed in his lap. It was almost as if she hadn't just caused him an intense amount of pain to get him into this position. "We dunno what should you be worried about, to be fair we thought about poking more at the sore spot that is Onee-chan, but it seems we might get to do that indirectly anyways." she said altogether amused as she stared the man in the face. If he happened to be looking at her ever changing chakra, he would notice his own seal starting to properly take hold, but it would be a while yet, for Mariketa's own chakra to completely overcome Yuichi's. It seemed the girl had managed to push this particular interaction one way and intended for it to be less traumatizing overall than it could have been. "We've missed our special time, and Onii-chan's already started. We think Onee-chan should have been included, but if you two haven't made up yet, it's fine with just you." The girl explained in a way which was rather vague but oddly still fitting of the situation. If her meaning wasn't clear enough her next actions would make it obvious what she intended, as she rather easily cut a hole in the man's hakama and found his cock at surprising size. "Neh, Onee-chan is surprisingly good at picking men for someone who doesn't really like them very much." she mentioned as a casual compliment as she began gently stroking his dick, as experience dictated she should to help achieve her overall goal.

The more this woman spoke, the less Youko understood. He couldn't quite grasp why, in the middle of a fight, she decided to sit down and converse with him from his lap, but he would soon be discovering the reason behind this. "Already started what?" he asked, though there were so many more questions. Of course, a more immediate answer would come in an unexpected fashion. Youko's eyes widened when Mariketa's next movement resulted in her slashing through his hakama and commenting on what was naturally found within. Suddenly, there was much he understood. "Oh... I get it. It's not just crazy; it's a personality overhaul," he said, seeming to prioritize this understanding over the fact that there was now a grip upon his very manhood.

There seemed to be a great deal of confusion in Youko about the transition made from full on battle to the death, to sitting in one's lap having a nice laughing conversation. But Mariketa would do nothing to fix this problem in the mind of the white haired man whose lap she now occupied. No, as she busied herself with his cock, he seemed to catch up rather quickly. "We don't know what our personality has to do with this, but we think your understanding should be secondary in a moment like this." She stated as she flicked her thumb ever so gently over the tip of him. She found this whole situation rather amusing and was simply waiting for the right stiffness to be reached below for her to continue.

"Really now?" he replied with utmost casualty in the face of Mariketa's words and actions. If she didn't know what her, or rather, their personality had to do with the matter, Youko would offer some level of explanation. With it, he would also shine light on why these thoughts took the forefront of his mind instead of the fact that she presently toyed with his groin. "You should think twice. Once for each of you. Personally, I was just picking at a distraction from the idea that you might technically be a man with his hand on my dick right now. That train of thought is a bit of an issue for me."

"Yes really." The possessed version of Mariketa responded. She didn't know why this was so hard for this man to grasp. He went on to rather casually explain that he had an issue with the fact that the small redhead girl possessed presently both a male and a female personality. This made the woman grin in his face. "That seems like it would be a real problem for you, but that makes this, better and not worse for us. It makes us wonder how long picking at such thoughts will keep your body from responding." She stated, apparently it was among the things this personality possessed a dominating need to be a bit of a sadist and whether that torture was physical or mental didn't really matter at present. "Also we would be completely bonded and all female, if we didn't like fighting with ourselves so much." All while she spoke her hands were still moving, she'd even scooted back a bit over his lap, adding a slight bit of sensation to his manhood so she could have a look at her progress a bit more directly.

"Doesn't it? I don't think it helps that every time I had an opportunity to consider trying on a guy for size, I walked off in the other direction," he said, choosing to toss in a bit of cheeky commentary to keep himself mentally occupied. Of course, things were difficult enough already. He was simply waiting to see if his own seal could even hold a candle to what had been produced by Yuichi, but he had always been a very sexually active individual, and much time had passed since his last "fix" so to speak. Most of all, his mind could label the individual in his lap a male, but knowing otherwise did him no service. All he could manage was to keep talking as he had been. "Ngh! Y'know, if you like fighting yourself so much, you could go fuck yourself while you're at it."

"Hmm, good thing for you we are not a guy." Mariketa mentioned in response to his rather cheeky commentary. She knew what he was doing, he was trying to wait this out. But, to her knowledge, this man and her sister had been rather active with each other and other people for a long time. If he hadn't made up with her sister some six months ago when they were rescued from the clutches of Yuichi, then he'd likely been denying himself as a result. Knowing this she figured it was just a matter of finding the right thing to trigger him. Since she'd already slid back on his lap, she opened her mouth and allowed her tongue to fall, through use of some strange jutsu, it was extended all the way down her torso to his dick where it would sweep across the tip of him before returning to her mouth. "But we don't want to fuck ourselves if we don't both have physical forms." She mentioned as if it was the most normal thing in the world, only before her tongue trailed low out of her mouth again, she would get what she was looking for even if she had to continue to work for it. Her body soon shifted down his lap more so she could bend and give herself more access. All the while her originally light tongue strokes would become more lengthy travelling down to the base of him.

As this happened, Benihime would appear in a crimson flash of light. She had with her, a basket of food, and sat atop the normal seal she summoned herself to on the table. When she looked up, instead of finding Youko busy at the forge, she felt first chakra which made her skin crawl. Her eyes widened as she soon saw, her sister, orally trying to please her husband while his arms were pinned to the stone wall behind him via melted bones. There was so much confusion over what she should do in a moment like this, that the tiny redhead seemed to be completely at a loss. "Um, this scene is a little confusing for me. Should I come back later, or should I put a stop to this?" Asked the Kazekage. After all, she was not ever a jealous person, and everyone was entitled to do what they wanted. She knew her younger sister, had harbored a crush on her husband, and as such she'd always expected to see a scene like this at some point. But... in this moment, she wasn't sure how on board with it her husband was, so her questioning of this situation was necessary, instead of just congratulating the girl on her prowess and having at her first meal in months.

"Saying 'we' doesn't help your point along much." Much to his disappointment, Mariketa had the perfect retort to his otherwise wonderfully cheeky comment. With this, came a rather grotesque ability that could have only come from one Uchiha Yuichi, that being the abnormally long tongue which protruded from the kunoichi's mouth to lash out at his tool, both before and after her statement. During this time, Youko chose not to let his demeanor falter just yet, though his comment was surprisingly relevant to what he observed. "Ugh. Not gonna lie... That feels pretty good, but I can't tell if I think that's hot, or gross," he said. Moments later, another chakra entered his periphery. Its color was unmistakable, and immediately drew the man's attention. The words which followed, though, were a bit queer. "Confusing? This is confusing?"

Youko's words to the girl in his lap made her smile. Leading her to believe he was simply confused about how he felt about this day, she would continued to work. The arrival of her sister, would be initially missed given her positioning, but since she spoke aloud the girl got excited turning, and showing an extremely long tongue as she sucked it back into her face. Youko's response to his wife, gave her about all the information she needed and as such she moved forward with a quickness most people couldn't follow, and even Mariketa seemed to blink at. She appeared right at the girl's right side while answering Youko's apparent question about her confusion. "Well, in my defense, if those were cuffs, and not bones melded into the wall, I'd just assume you'd gotten into kinkier things since I've been gone." She said as her eyes shifted to orange pupil-less moons of her special Kekkei Genkai variant. "And beyond that, violence seems to be her foreplay, and I have no idea what you might have agreed to I wasn't here. Had to ask." She finished up as the girl looked at her sister stunned.

"But Onee-chan, you shouldn't be angry about this, we could have fun together. All three of us!" said the girl as a set of spikes launched out of her back but this just caused the older crimson haired woman to shift even further to the girl's left. "I'm not angry, but if you forced him, it's not fair to him yeah? Besides I'd be more inclined to believe that if you were being yourself. I might even entertain it as an idea... but you feel like him, and I can't even." mentioned Benihime as she reached out and tapped the seal created by Youko with a ball of her own chakra. Such would feed the ability of Mariketa's to eliminate Yuichi's control of her person, but harmonizing Benihime's chakra alone, while being so much Yuichi, made it burn, and her entire body seemed to give out as a result causing it to temporarily shut down as the new seal finally settled, and the smaller redhead lost consciousness. "Ara ara, you just gonna pass out like that? Totally fucking figures." she mentioned moving the smaller redhead from the man's body. "Would you like some more help with that?" she asked of her husband, as she figured he'd probably want to free himself from the wall, or maybe fix up his injured body a bit.

After Benihime's initial response to his rhetoric, Youko leaned his head against the stone behind him, and shut his eyes. Over the course of a few moments, he heard the conclusion of the woman's interaction with her possessed sibling, and felt the latter being dragged off his body. This resulted in an exasperated sigh from the man. "A scythe. My one plan today... was to fix a fucking scythe. What do I get to do instead? Smack some stupid kid around, then deal with ten-foot rape tongue from a man-woman." Now that he wasn't in such a position that would allow his assailant to counter him, Youko evolved his Chakra Cloak to its second stage with three tails. Doing so allowed him to tear his arms away from the stone, and rip the molten bones out to allow his accelerated healing to take place. This took several moments to complete, but when it was over, he returned to his normal state and lean against the wall again. "Now I'll have to deal with Okuyasu."

Benihime saw her husband fix himself up, and while this happened he seemed to be lamenting his plan for the day as it had all gone completely down the drain. She understood at the very least, how having such a messed up day, could properly affect someone. She'd had a few of these so called messed up days herself. She could also feel this man's discontent, and unlike how she felt about most people, she wanted to help ease his discomfort. "I'm sorry. Today, has been really fucked up for you, given that list." She mentioned, soon after she picked up her younger sister and teleported her to an undisclosed holding space for more advanced criminals just outside the village. It was the sort of place she couldn't just leave, and it would give them access to her. A few seconds later she'd teleported back and to the seat she'd previously taken. "I'm here to help ya' out, if I can. But only you can make weapons and stuff, not in my skills list. Okuyasu can wait a tiny bit longer, even without telling him exactly why, he's an understanding ol' man. But, I brought dinner, we could talk, you could relax a bit, and eat... It'll help." she said as she pulled a several bento from the basket she'd brought, obviously intending to eat for the first time in months. She didn't know what she had a taste for so she'd gotten a bunch of things intending to share them.

"Ugh..." For several moments, Youko remained utterly silent. Then, without so much as a response or a warning, he vanished in a flash. His return was roughly a full minute later, at which point he appeared by the forge again. He had donned a new pair of hakama, as well as his typical top. "I guess I had a dinner break planned. I can probably finish a new scythe that'll outlast his roughness if I add a bit of time to my night." With that said, the white-haired man reached into the basket to retrieve any random bento he first touched, being in no state to be picky about what he consumed. He wasn't quite sure why so much food had been brought, but he wasn't one to question much of anything at the time being.

Her husband soon disappeared in a flash without a word; Benihime was left to ponder whether or not she'd be taking her meal alone, in the full minute he was gone. But when Youko returned he was almost fully dressed with new pants having apparently thought over what the red haired woman had to say. He came back with a sentence or two in mind. A smile came to Benihime's face as she realized she would not be taking this meal alone and as such she opened up the bento's she'd chosen and with a pair of chopsticks in hand began picking various items from each to eat. After a few happy bites were taken she paused her meal to explain what the earlier mess in the village had been. As her second in command, Youko might have actually needed this information for some reason or another. "So, that mess in the village earlier, was Usui trying to kill me. He apparently really wanted Mikunichi to be Kazekage... and that was how he planned to do it. He used the Inquisitor's Son, talked him into thinking it was a mission to kill me, probably figuring I wouldn't kill a kid." she said with a nod. "Aiko and Hakudoshi got themselves captured on purpose, Aiko wanted to figure out what was going on, Hakudoshi was with her and she thought it'd be an interesting bit of training for him." She finished as she grabbed a small dumpling dipping it into soy sauce. "Usui, Yagi and Toda ended up being in on it, so they were all executed with the approval of the rest of the council." she concluded about her general day. Leaving space for more explanations, since there was still the large matter of what their son was presently capable of.

After Youko popped open his own bento, he retrieved a pair of chopsticks from within the box. From there, he first began eating various suchi pieces with wasabi from one end of the packaged meal, hearing out what Benihime had to say about the day's earlier ordeal. All things considered, Youko was never a fan of Usui, or the other individuals listed; nor were they members of his fan club. He did, however, recall doing some work for one of them some weeks prior. "They must have been hard up for money. I happen to have filled an order for those guys, big enough to equip a task force, a few weeks back," he said between bites. "So, did you kill the son?"

Benihime continued dipping various dumplings into sauces she hadn't tasted in a while. It was then revealed by Youko that he'd been the one to make the order which likely went to equip the task force charged with killing her. "Hmm, Aiko fought a guy with a kusarigama... and I assumed you made the tanto for the Higuchi boy as well." she said noting the ability of the man and even praising it. "I knew that work was a bit good for the run of the mill, mercenary type." She commented before taking another bite, the words spoken next by Youko made the small woman choke. She wondered why he bothered ask such a question, it'd been quite a while since she'd killed any children, in fact, she'd sworn off the practice after the last time. "Of course not. He was upset thinking I'd mind broken his dad. But... since I don't like leaving stuff undone the first thing I did when I arrived back was wake up Higuchi the Older. When I explained the situation he seemed to rethink his murderous intentions. He's a good kid, I remember him before he was old enough to do anything scary. I wouldn't kill him over being manipulated." The Kazekage explained. It really wasn't in her nature to kill anyone she considered a child.

"There was a special order for a tanto, yeah. They must have been really confident in their mercenaries' abilities. I don't know why; even the Kumo-nin was only a low-tier Jounin. If they were going to use my equipment, they could have just paid Akatsuki to wield them. They would have at least been able to." Moving right along, Benihime had apparently refrained from killing the young male who'd been tricked into targeting her for assassination. This was in line with her normal methods, but the white-haired man thought it to be a matter worth checking. "Sou ka. By the way, I ate the Kumo-nin's chakra."

Benihime thought about the power of the given mercenaries, and given this had a rather singular conclusion for why they were the strength they were. "If Toda is the one who made the order, then it was done that way in case something went wrong after all of us were dispatched. Technically speaking we are the strongest in the village, if they hired someone capable of easily taking us out, with no real trickery and mostly force. Then they'd be left to deal with them. Toda is...." she paused. taking a bite. "Was a bit too much of a coward to want to deal with that outcome. After all, they were just trying to replace me with their choice. Fat lot of good that would have done them, if they'd succeeded only to find out he didn't want the fuckin' job." She said, at least retaining enough of her logic training and memory of the Elder Council members to be able to piece together why their plan had formed that way. "All of the weapons were abandoned in the old ruins. Aiko might have taken the kusarigama though, you know how she likes her prize wall." She said of the young kunoichi who was a trophy taker for reasons that redhead hadn't begun to fathom. She kept on eating soon finding an end to multiple bento but move along to dessert based bento as well.

As she found her next course, it seemed that Youko had indeed tested out what the power of her moon did for him, and it gave her great pause. "You...ate his chakra. Do you still have it?" She asked, thinking it a valid question. Again she wasn't quite sure how this power worked, and thus the testing had been necessary.

"That's stupid. Look what going cheap and manageable got them? Their lackeys were beaten, and they're dead. It's a lose-lose situation," Youko said once he came to the end of his sushi portion. Then, as he moved on to the rice, he addressed the likelihood of Aiko keeping the kusarigama he made as a trophy from the battle. "Had I known that, I would have made it look better. No matter. She'll have a hell of a trophy one day," he stated. At last, there was an inquiry directed toward the nature of Benihime's dojutsu. He found it to be a very interesting thing, and to explain the occurrence, he placed his bento next to him on the workbench. "Yes and no. It's mine now; all of it. I took what I could see to test, and I drained him dry when I understood it completely. It seems like I could have done the same in reverse, or even taken myself out of the equation entirely. I guess I should do my job, huh..." As he spoke, Youko looked to his left wrist, which once again held the orange moon Benihime had placed there earlier this day. "Rozan Sennin, when he passed the Dragon Power on to me, told me that I would likely be creating a new moon... but I haven't done it yet." As he spoke, Youko's left arm began to exude a misty, blue chakra which occasionally pulsed outward, as if radiating an even greater power from within itself. "A name. A proper fusion of Oborozuki, and your natural latent abilities. These are the things required to create a new form of Oborozuki. I haven't done either thing fully yet, but I think I can access just enough of the power to do it." With that said, Youko raised his arm, placing his left forefinger just over the bridge of Benihime's nose. The moons in his eyes glowed a very light tint of blue, and he seemed to split the chakras within the woman's body, separating her original Kekkei Genkai fully from the Oborozuki. Afterwards, he not only forced them back together, but molded them into a single, orange shroud to encase Benihime before fading into her being. "Oborozuki: Harvest!"

"I never said it was a good plan," she said of the scheme hatched up by the fallen elders. She personally had no idea why the girl had a trophy habit, it was apparently something she'd done even in her younger childhood. Still, she managed a chuckle for the girl's habit, and Youko's mention that he would have made the weapon look better if he knew she would be taking it.

As their conversation progressed, it appeared that Youko had to stop eating to fully explain how her version of his Kekkei Genkai worked. At the news that he simply possessed the chakra of another person she was stunned. Before she could say anything though, Youko mentioned needing to do his job. She looked at him a bit strangely as he went on to explain that the Rozan Sage had told him he would need to make a new moon and she was confused by what such a thing would properly mean. A question was on the horizon for the lass, but soon enough the man was exuding a calming blue mist right over the bridge of her nose, separating her parts and then forcing them into an orange shroud which would encompass her person. It was the final sealing of her own moon, which she'd been told would happen whenever Youko managed to do it. The feeling of her moon fading into herself was interesting, and all the while she maintained the ability to feel chakra. And this chakra he emitted was one she'd felt before, it felt calm like cool water and it was amazing. "Ara, the Moonman said the moon wasn't finished yet, but that it wasn't his place to do it. This power is a bit freaky." she mentioned. But she still felt utterly comfortable in this moment. "I'm glad I gave that to you. I am not sure it wouldn't have taken me a really long time to figure out most of that on my own. Well, I also just noticed something kind of important." she said reaching up to tap her own forehead and finding the seal of the blood moon she'd made was still there, and now visible with a little chakra. "I accidentally made these a bit strong. I meant for them to be one time use... if you don't want yours I'll take it off ya'. I know it is probably a bit annoying."

"I was right then," Youko said, looking at the seal on his wrist once more. The Kekkei Genkai had faded from his eyes during his use of the cursed seal, but when that happened, the orange moon returned to him. He had expected it to disappear after using its power, but it seemed to instead be restoring itself, as if it were his own chakra. "It's like having a second source of chakra that I can access like my own. I think it's worth keeping. I might want something else in my repertoire later," he said, simultaneously producing black lightning-nature chakra in the very same hand he held out. "I don't know if I mentioned, but the properties of the chakra are absorbed as well."

"Hm-huh. Gomen, I wasn't really thinking about it when I made them. Seals like this require more concentration. They ended up a bit like the Yin seals, because they were the easiest things to compare it to." The redhead finished speaking. But in realizing that Youko planned to keep the extra chakra anyways because he liked the potential diversity to his repertoire, she only smiled. "Fine keep it then." She said only to watch his extended hand showcase the ability to use the properties of the nature transformation it held. "Oooh, that's pretty cool." She thought with her eyes active, she swiped a little off the top and rolled it into a ball. "I did this earlier and stunned a kid with is own lightning. Hm, it is all yours though, definitely feels like you." She said apparently amused with it. Speaking of children there was a rather important thing going by the way side.

"OH! I just remembered, did ya' know Hakudoshi can teleport? In a way very different from the Hiraishin..."

"It should be very useful. It took a great deal of my own chakra to absorb and convert, though, so I would watch out for that. It wouldn't be a good idea to go absorbing chakra from whole armies, unless you can find a way around it," he said as he retrieved the remains of his bento. As he continued eating, he heard Benihime's notice about their young son's teleportation ability. With a cheek full of rice, he shifted his gaze in the woman's direction. "Hakudoshi's Oborozuki is mutated. After the barriers, it doesn't surprise me that he can also teleport."

"Eh, I don't think I would do that anyways. To be fair, chakra has, um... not been pleasant when it's come from other people. I'd have to be much more picky than draining whole armies would allow." said the red haired lass, who seemed to shiver at the thought of touching so many different sources of chakra. Moving right along, apparently Hakudoshi possessed a mutated version of the clan's Kekkei Genkai and as such his developments weren't outside the realm of what Youko thought possible. "Okay, glad one of us wasn't completely surprised. He fought today, and... he wants to be a ninja. But I watched his fights, and for the safety of the other children I don't think I should allow him to be a Genin nor Chunin. He has better chakra control than I do. Logic tests and puzzles would be pointless because if any one in the room knew the answer he'd also know the answer. And he's a bit savage. I am not even sure what to call that Rasengan he used, but it was like three inside of one in a ball which he dropped on Yagi's head, which subsequently exploded. Can't have him just doing things like that to other villagers." she said thinking on it aloud. "It's amazing, his developments are phenomenal and he's only six. I'm pretty sure he has better chakra control than me, but no hand seals..." she said with a chuckle thinking of his angry little face. "Those don't work for him yet. I might end up making him Tokubetsu...." she was simultaneously proud and a tinge jealous at the thought that her child had better chakra control than she did.

After a few additional moments, Youko consumed the final bites of his bento. Apparently, Benihime thought their child to have superior chakra control to herself. Youko had an observation to make about this, but chose to wait until the moment she finished her own piece. Beyond this assumption of hers, she thought to make the boy a Tokubetsu Jounin, which he nodded to. Of all the ranks, he considered the boy to be of Jounin level already, though information from Benihime's outing with the lad gave him reason to doubt his ability to be a true Jounin. When the woman's speech ended, he spoke on the thought he'd been holding about chakra control. "Chakra control comes naturally to my clan. Our entire Kekkei Genkai is all about maintaining a constant balance between Yin and Yang chakras, and those are not the easiest to deal with for most. Having Oborozuki now should help you out, though."

A nod came from Youko has he agreed to her placement of Hakudoshi as a Tokubetsu Jounin. And she couldn't say it wouldn't be good for the development of the lad in question. Given his imaginary friend, she figured the young man could use a bit more time hanging out with actual people, lest he become a shut in of his own mind. When she finished speaking she started in again. This time a stick of dango was her choice in food, and as she ate one Youko explained that chakra control was simply something which came naturally to those who possessed his clan's Kekkei Genkai. He also mentioned that now she should have an easier time of it as well, this caused a sarcastic chuckle. "Hm, if I had something like that as a kid, I wouldn't still be considered one by my family." she said in a side ways sort of pouty way. Before going back to her choice of dessert and having another. "Whatever, I'll get it eventually. See what else I can use it for." she said with a smirk at the very least, she might use this new moon based ocular ability to create some more jutsu.

"Whatever the case, you have it now. It also holds the power of your original Kekkei Genkai, at what I imagine is its full potential. Using it alone should passively raise your control." Now that the dojutsu Benihime recently received was a topic of conversation, Youko came to the realization that he had no idea what the sage of Rozan had offered the woman during her time. "So, did Rozan Sennin offer you anything, or is that also something he's pushing off to me?"

"Hm, that's going to freak someone out eventually." She said of the passive control increase and added Kekkei Genkai specialization. It was very different to think about, considering she was mostly a failure by her own clans standards. Moving right along though, it seemed Youko wanted to know if she'd been offered anything by the Rozan Sennin and she couldn't help but chuckle as she shook her head from left to right, finishing up a dango and placing the stick back into the box. "I don't think the Moonman is pushing it off on you. He did mention that normally communing with him, his word, gave a particular power to the one who came. But he said he didn't create my moon so he shouldn't interfere, or rather couldn't. He only has power over ones that came before, and ones he created, or something like that." she said trying to recall the details of that conversation. Whatever the extra was, it didn't really matter to her at present, she had more than enough that she could do at this point, she wasn't terribly pressed to drag out every little ounce of power she could get at the moment. "I totally didn't get that at first, but it kinda makes sense now. The one I possess just came into being... fully, so anything else I'd get from it, would have to come from you." She said with a shrug. "But I'm not to pressed about it, I'm sure whatever ya' got later will be something I didn't think I needed but amazing."

"Ugh. Figures," he said while removing himself from the workbench. He had received the information regarding how the Blue Moon worked, and knew the sage could have technically given the woman something, with multiple reasons why. "He could control your moon if he wanted. He has the ability to take mine if I offered it to him; and I did offer it. Besides, it wasn't the moon-related things I was asking about. He gave me one of the dragons from the falls, and in doing that, I gained the knowledge of Rozan itself. There's an entire combat style connected to Oborozuki and that waterfall, but I guess now I have to make up your thing. Whatever. I'll get around to it someday." That being said, Youko discarded his shirt toward the workbench, shifting himself toward the forge with the intention of doing something about the elder male Okuyasu's scythe.

Youko finished his meal and removed himself from the work bench. In so doing he removed his shirt and the red haired lass in his presence, took to packing up the discarded dishes of the basket of food she'd proffered mostly so she could return them to the kitchen of the mansion when she did leave Youko's side. The knowledge that the man had tried to give away his extra moon was a bit startling but she supposed given the effect it had on his personality she could understand why this was the case. "Hmm, I take it then he didn't wanna. Still he's pretty cool. I imagine he has some weird reason for doing it that way~" she said of the Rozan Sage. Moving right along with the basket all packed up and having eaten a meal and conferred all necessary information to Youko. She felt relatively calm, and he seemed to be more alright than he had been immediately following his interaction with Mariketa. "Hm-hm. You'll have to show me that new fighting style, sounds like fun," was all she responded to him eventually getting around to giving her something like a fighting style. "Until, then... I think I'm going swimming then doing that shit ton of paperwork which likely came from executing about half the council." If there was nothing else from Youko, the woman would disappear in a flash of crimson light.

"Of course he does. His reason is to push the responsibility onto me, so I can pick up his legacy. I want no part of it," he said regarding the title of sage among the Oborozuki clan. As Benihime made known her intentions for the evening, Youko brought the iron for his craft to the forge. "Alright," he said, as if disregarding the information. With that, he went on to heat the iron, and hammered it to shape. During this time, thoughts returned of the sensation he had when utilizing the Blue Moon. In a way, he thought it may have been best if he remained in such a form.

A decent while after Benihime left to occupy herself with her evening activities, Aiko returned to the forge. She had preparations to make in light of Hakudoshi becoming a ninja and intended to make a few things for him specifically which couldn't be found anywhere else. She'd do this work figuring that Hakudoshi was busying himself with his other friend, now that he'd had is ice cream. "Oh? Onii-sama, I figured you'd be done by now." she said as she leaned her weapon against the sword wall, and slipped on the tasuki to hold back the sleeves of her kimono. Once this was done, she began moving around the forge finding the small blanks and things necessary to begin work with what she was doing.
