Uchiha Palace [Part 2.]

This time period takes place exactly a full month and two to three days later after Meian's training, and encounter of Aruji and Hanto Tembinza.

The palace's horse stable is finally completed. This could be hinted by the strung out guards who were mounted on the scientifically engineered horses. These animals were made to look undead with a skeletal appearance with green chakra shrouding its exterior flowing like fire.

Guard A:"Any sign of an intruder, or a Kuki bastard?"

Guard B: "Not really, the 'Highest Branch' ordered that anyone previously buried with the Sharingan have their eyes removed and replaced with a replica of it."

Guard A: "Ahh. To fool anyone who would rob the cemetary. Can you believe that other clan stole our style, and made it into something entirely new? The nerve of those Grrrr... nevermind. Words can't describe how I think of them.

Guard B: "I've heard that the prince Meian is going to try to settle the score with their prince Naito. That's why he's going to where the 'Falls of Truth' is said to be. To make use of..." The guard breaks into a whisper "bijuu. So I here we're getting an upgrade on our level of defense pretty soon. Its gonna be very easy to relax around here with that installed..." Both men share a hearty laughter as Meian and Hanto would soon arrive and cut it short.

[It is advised that one must read "Uchiha Palace" a.k.a. part 1 to know the details of the clan's estate.]

i walk and begin to growl, from failure of understanding, upon the sight of the unnatural looking necro-horses. i say lowly in concern: what is this.....? i continue walking on beside meian

Meian looks at the uninformed Tembinza, Hanto and begins to answer his question.

"This would be one of the main entrances to my palace. Despite its cutesy feudal appearance, its slowly becoming inter-twined with the technology of the future. The horses are infused with chakra identical to that of a medical ninja's. Thus giving it a etheral form. They are able to endure more pain than an average horse, and capable of overlapping the more current record setting horse over 3x. Another medical ninja would be able to extract its chakra to heal themselves, but only once, because then the horse would lose not only its necro appearance, but power. Therefore its only suitable for making quick attacks on the land without fear of falling to another average horseman." Meian exclaimed somewhat pridefully. We are working on developing experiments even greater than that... The horses are only for two things. One being low class shinobi who can't travel on foot very fast and two transportation for materials and small task. Anyway we're going to the courtyard to start our practice session.

Guard A/B simultaneously: Welcome back Uchiha Meian!

Guard B: Whose this you've got with you? The guardian advoided staring down Hanto to hard out of respect, but demanded to know who he was. "A companion of mine."

Guard B: "Go on right ahead. The guard had no problem with samurai, but after the last incident of a friendship. Close surveillance would be kept on both Meian and Hanto as they headed for the courtyard...

as meian explains, i begin to marvel as i take in everything. what thinking...what power! the look in my eyes are similar to that of a child learning something new and interesting. i continue to walk along side meian while looking past thing for a bigger insight and begin to ask a list of simplistic questions about his palace and its belongings. all i have are mazes, corridors, and chambers...

Meian was actually flattered by Hanto's much amused look. Well one our next projects, besides a wall is an electro magnetic forcefield or cloaking device. We don't really have the funds for an object of its caliber just yet, but once obtained it will vaporize unsuspecting ninja or citizens who aren't registered by their genetic code to by pass it. Though it will be invisable it is still chakra, making its defense permeable to those who can cancel out its capabilities. This outer shell of a shield will only mask the other hidden elemental and non-elemental hazards to come....

As the two strolled pass a shrine outlined with bonsai, and sakura trees, they would come across a large square in the center behind the citadel shaped palace. A stone tengu wearing a mask entitled "Sojoubo" at the base would be perched in the center of the background of a concrete field. A small stone ditch for crowds to gather would be right beneath it. The place would remind anyone of Mortal Kombat's courtyard with Shang Tsung/ Shao Khan overseeing the fights.
White lotus, chrysantheums, and a array of various other cosmo, tulip flowers sprung in the gardens in the further back of the park. Small streams flowed all around under red narrow wooden bridges that were covered in fallen Sakura petals. Beneath the water were filter fences to prevent toxins and intruders from stealthily swimming into each region. Therefore the water was a drinkable resource.

"This is where we will be training. When it gets late a geust room could be prepared for you that's if you'd like? Meian said as he took his side of the court awaiting Hanto to goto his respective area.

i intake all the scenery being sown to me and i stare in awe. my eyes reach every corner. as meian talks, i listen attentively paying attention to his every word. a self sustained, anti intruder alarm that activates by reading existing DNA strands of your natives...*mockingly* "oh prince uchiha" *chuckle* soon, i come across a statue with words written: "sojoubo" across it. it sports a mask and possesses a long nose. i say before my eyes advert towards meian: ..tengu.....what is a statue of this caliber doing in your court yard? i continue onto my respective side opposite of where meian is sitting as i await my answer. i then nod in agreement for the stay within his guess room soon after his response.

Meian lips curve vaguely upwards at the right corner as Hanto starts proving that dogs are highly intelligent. Hanto summed up everything he had said exactly down to the T. So of course the not too suprised Uchiha would smirk at his summary. Then his face would revert to a emotionless state. You don't have to be subjected into calling me 'Prince''. We are on the first name basis here. Meian would pause to listen to Hanto's inquistive response to the statue. "I don't know, but it scared the hell out of me when I first saw it. I would have to ask my mother about it later." Meian would feign a shiver as he drew a shabby looking sword. So what will be lesson one? He said practically almost ready to just do anything with his weapon...

well....first things first. it's all about the basics... i go through an explanation about balance and striking power before i bring up the kenjutsu fighting style, iaido. the key is speed and reaction time in conjunction with your reflexes and concentration. ready your hand on your hilt at all times while placing your other upon its casing. then unsheathe and immediately follow up with no let just before re-sheathing your blade. i grab the hilt of aoiro and unsheathe with a strike and re-sheathe quickly, never quite able to see the strike but the gleam of the metal within the sun. like that. its all in the wrist. *laughs* i let go the hilt and await meian's attempt.

Spoiler:

Meian appears to be all ears as he listens attentively. He studies Hanto only once and begins to replicate, memorise the exact motions fluidly. After a few flicks of the wrist, only a blare of light was visable as the sword was already swung and resheathed back into its casing. This was a much efficient attack for a quick Kenjutsu transfer back to Taijutsu. Like that? The average shinobi would have clumsily did this a number of times before succeeding. The Uchiha had his Kekkei Genkai to thank for its ability to copy complexed and simole movements. "All in the wrist, so what's up next? The young man questioned...

as meian performs exactly as i had showed, i remained unsurprised: nice work uchiha. *smirk* i unsheathe aoiro and begin to go into a demonstration, starting upon the topic of chakra control. control your chakra in a steady flow throughout your weapon to creaet an extension of your weapon through chakra. after your able to utilize this efficiently enough, your be able to use shape manipulation on the flow of chakra your channeling. i await meian's trail.

Spoiler:

Meian removed his non spectacular blade with a flick of his wrist. The moment he had taken hold of the hilt he expelled a steady flow of chakra that almost went haywire, but he managed to keep it stabilized. The sword was swung outwards with a gleam as chakra extended the swipe's range. "Not bad. I admit I almost lost control for a moment. Meian says while modestly confessing his own short coming.

i laugh as i respond to his attempt and modest words: but even though you almost lost control on your first try doesnt exempt the fact that you still managed to utilize the jutsu...your certainly an exceptional shinobi. ....hey...i guess that makes you kinda like a samurai like me. *laughs and looks at the fluxing blade of meians* try to form a simple shape from the chakra. i begin to extend aoiro's reach using my chakra to a great level, soon the chakra begins to take shape in the form of a javelin. this part is more difficult as it deals with chakra control and shape manipulation that must be maintained for a moment....now try my chakra radiates from aoiro as i wait.

Meian would smile faintly at the comment and spoke fleuntly in his response. "Perhaps. Maybe you can adopt a nindo of your own after I'm finished learning 'The way of a Samurai'. He relaxed his muscles and mind to concentrate on forming the spear like object Hanto created. The chakra that extended itself beyond the blade molded into a pike, but once again he lost control. The sharp end became small as the sides formed a circular dimension. Meian had invented an umbrella that was made entirely out of chakra.Meian frowned at the outcome.

(Maybe this is why I can't produce Fire chakra, I can't even mold this correctly.)

His own thought of being a failure gave him the edge he needed to persue his success. He painted a mental picture of the pike, and then added more details onto it like extra spikes and a second pike. All while thinking this; It had taken place outside his mind in a matter of seconds by sheer will.

"Heh, Thought I'd never get it. Hm. Just a few more and I'll start teaching you what I can including the 'Wind Cutter'. Its what I used to defeat you." Meian stated admirably.

i looked at meian's results and smiled: nice job. i sheathe aoiro and i look at meian battle conditioned sword. you sould really work on getting another sword before we continue....i have an idea. you help and...then i help you.

Meian's onyx and crimson pupils, leered Hanto as he had piqued his interest. He would speak just as he finished flicking his wrist to spin the doubled-ended pike. The pike's, sword was twirled in a complete diagonal rotation in front of, overhead and lastly behind Meian.

The preteen being intrigued by the thought of obtaining a new edge finally started conversing "How can I offer my- Click The Uchiha hybrid was now done with amusing himself by way of swirling the chakra embued blade, re-sheathed it; Once he had concluded his sentence.

...assistance?" His now obsidian colored orbs reflected the image of Hanto off the surface of them as he awaited the answer.

im silent at first but then i respond: ...im gonna need a portion of your uchiha chakra to fulfill my task of fully bringing out aoiro's potential. although that is but a small step, its a step that cant be over looked... i need a trace of sinister chakra...or at least a bloodline that might contain any strand of the latter other than my own... i stop talking as i knowingly reveal my chakra's sinister potency and my knowledge of the uchiha's own. so what do yo say?

The Uchiha gives the Tembinza a skeptical look before asking to see the sword called Aoiro. "May I see that for a moment?"

He would use the technique he used earlier to embued the weapon with his raw chakra. "There"...

as i lend aoiro's bladed end to meian, his chakra begin's to seep into aoiro. there... as meian is about done, aoiro begin to ravage his chakra, starting to siphon his chakra massively although this was not my intentions. i try to force off aoiro's feeding frenzy of meian's chakra by overshadowing with my own. soon aoiro's grasp over meian discontinues and slowly begins to siphon my own chakra at a inclining pace. i force open my palm attempting to repel aoiro from me but i fail and i begin to yell in pain. my screams of pain forces a reaction out of aoiro which forces her to stop abruptly. i check meian immediately after im freed: meian!....*taps*

With his hand on the hilt he could feel his body being drained of its lifeforce, chakra. Overtime the amount being withdrawn from him accumulated into a considerably lethal degree of chakra loss. He'd fall to his knee's weakened with the handle of Aoiro still in the grooves his palm.

He could see Hanto grabbing hold of the flat and edge to get Aoiro to drain his energy, until he could get her to stop. "Meian" he called out after tapping him.

"Umhmp... Unh Uh....Hm? Meian's eyes flickered open, narrowed and would remind one of a Hawk's. Golden orange and yellow gas like embers danced around his entire body, until his chakra was restored. His nails grew sharp as a tacks.He was in his initial stage of his Bijuu's modes. Meian's Subconcious

Helluva a bite that one has there. Right mate? Meian wake up its not yet time for you to go.

Uhnhh... What happened? Oh. right.... What were you trying to do....Kill me? He scowled Hanto as he rose back up on his feet.

i begin to talk in between my heavy breathing after getting a moderate degree of chakra siphoned from me while fending off aoiro's chakra draining: *pant*...i dont know what happened...*pant* but it wasnt me....it was aoiro. aoiro begins to gnarl and give off aggressive audibles ive never heard from her before, but remains unspoken. i begin to gain my breathing shortly after as i try to make sense of what just happened. to tell you the truth...that was the first time i ever attempted to feed aoiro chakra, although i know the results... although i cannot read how much chakra a person has in their reserves, i can still feel aoiro's monstrous amount thats now combined with meian's and i sheathe aoiro accordingly. i lend out a hand to help meian up.

While ascending upwards to stand again, Meian would extend his hand, until Hanto had taken it. He use it as leverage to get back on his feet. "Ah. I see, so about that sword you spoke of earlier? If this is it, I can already tell that 'it' despieses me." He said while commenting on the vicious audible gnarling noises it gave off.

the audibles soon stop and i begin to speak shortly after: she's alright....but thats a first. now about the sword i mentioned helping you with earlier. first you'll need a newer sword...then you'll need my chakra. i begin to toy around aimlessly before asking: so when will you be able to do that? it must not be that hard to gain a new weapon here. *smirks* i say mockingly due to all the technology all around me.

Meian smirks back. "It just so happens my dad's been customizing me a fresh one for over a month now. It should be ready. I'm going to the armory. Of course your welcome to come with."

Meian walks across a auburn bridge and then down a set of white, limestone stairs.He pushes a button hidden underneath the railing and it morphs into an escalator. The moving staircase transcends into a moving floor that would slide the two towards an underground warehouse. 5 digital doors, and a series of infared lasers start to disengrate before their eyes as they'd reach the end. This was, because the security was deactivating.

Vhoomp... Vhoomp...

The last door slid open to present a giant cyber glass... -not to be confused with fiber glass- cyclinder bearing a sword. The most intellectual Uchiha, all in a cubicle of their own. Each pressing keys on their computers as its light gleams off their glasses or eyes. Complexed formulas are on every monitor.
Project: Prism Blade 96, 97, 98% complete. A robotic voice chimes in through the PA speakers. The sword itself crystal clear could be seen revolving in a circular motion as shards would latch onto it.

A lone Kuchiki could be seen operating the main processor. He moved floating screens with the wave of his hand and pressed them with his index finger. Not only was the sword constructed for the use of a light element here. Other items like Demon Windmill, spring loaded kunai, hammer-axes, trident spears, smoke pellets, machine gun crossbows, you name it. They were manufactured here. All was needed was a blueprint and the ingredients, unless the weapon was particularly rare case. Almost any basic weapon could be produced. The weapons mentioned above were in a vault lined up on white walls and labeled with the name of the item.
"Dad. This is Hanto Tembinza." 99%...Project Complete. The sound of gas hissing and the whirling container releasing the weapon now filled the air.

i bow to show my respect to meian's father. all of the sounds are crystal and what im seeing is all too real but i still cant feel but uneasy with all the commotion. i look at meian and begin to speak: ok...well....arent you gonna grab it? my arrogant tone overshadow's my uneasy feelings and i stare around as i continue to wait in anticipation and angst. my eyes slowly make contact with the sword of light but i neither look curious nor ask any questions.

Meian looks at Hanto for a split-second. "Grab it? Hm. If everything went according to plan I should be able to call upon it since its bound by my chakra signature. Its also my Zanpaktou. Maybe yours and mine can get along?"...Meian issued an order to the sword to try and get it to come to him. "Obey!! The weapon ignored him. "Father. Why doesn't it do as I say?" The confused, spoiled child soon got his reply."Nice to meet you Hanto and Meian its, because you haven't learned its name. So you'll have to retrieve it yourself, until you discover that."

Slightly angered, the boy jumped into the air where the sword was and raised into the air. He suddenly mocked an old cartoon or two. "I have the power!! Theme song please." An ocarina plays as he holds it over his head and a digital description of what it is and does excluding the true name appears below Meian. After the still pretty much a kid, Uchiha finished his charade he'd make his way back over to Hanto with the blade. "No need to be uneasy. From this day forth I should ask to form a treaty with your clan. That way we can assist each other in times of war. Meian said while encouraging Hanto that he will be alright.
