****************************************
>Your name is Amon Shuu, a humble monk of the Water Temple.
>You have no family to speak of, another one of the many casualties of the 2nd Shinobi World War. Your luck pulled through when a wandering monk, Myatsuu, snatched you from the debris of a border skirmish between Konohagakure and Kirigakure with your village having been reduced to rubble in the midst of battle. You were 4 years old. The monk, Myatsuu, brought you back to the Water Temple in the marshy coastlines of the Land of Water.

>Nearly 14 years later, the Temple- your home- had fallen to attackers from the Village Hidden in the Mist after a young girl, Rin. Leaving to honor your duties, you travel across lands to deliver the merchant, Yoru, safely to his destination. You acquired the Red Beads, demonic artifact of a legendary sage gone mad, and accidentally released them from their seal...and into your own body.
>For the safety of your friends and the world at large, you have spent the past three days creating a seal to contain the curse, the Seal of Babylon.

>This is where your story begins.

Oh yeah, Red, your name for the chains gave me an idea.

Would it be possible to totally not rip off Gilgamesh from Fate/Stay?

>>771491
I think they'll keep it under control. Amon'll die if they don't and they know that.

>>771491
Tai is also assisting in the application of the tattoo. Best to have him focus on that. Asa is pretty strong, so she could hold us off for a while.

"Asa can keep things in line."

Chiriku nods and leaves to fetch your companions as you enter the door. What greets you is a massive, enclosed hall of carved bedrock columns with an altar on the far side. Between each column a Fire Temple monk sits on a thatched mat, two candles to either side of each of them providing the majority of light in the room. To the far back is a small, raised stone dais covered in various cloth linens. Surrounding both the altar and dais are various tools and implements: Brushes, three large jars, bandages, a strange needled contraption, and sealing tags.

The monk in charge of the tattoo ritual stands aside the dais, waiting. He is older and has notably long earlobes....

W-Wait...

The monk gives you a knowing glare as you approach, before motioning to the center of the dais.

"Take off all of your clothing."

You begin to protest, you're in a room full of people! Your close friends are going to be here, can't you at least...

The long-earlobed monk has none of it. "One thing that WILL remain intact today is this ritual. If you want to be tattooed, you will take off all your clothing."

Embarrassed, you strip entirely and sit in the center of the stone platform, facing the altar. The monk gives you a blindfold, which you take from him confused.

"Wear this for the entirety of the procedure. It's required but...it'll help."

You tie it around your head and your world goes black...

Too bad Amon himself is basically the Beads now. Oh well, they're still useful since the entire surface of them and the cloth that connected them is covered in seals.

The one stern-looking guy, Tai, walks in front of you. He's shown a total of two facial expressions so far as you've noticed...serious and contemplative.
You don't think he's quite the type of person for pleasant conversation...

On the other hand, you have the fuming princess next to you. You remember Amon called her Rin, but she hasn't even tried to talk to you yet. A blind man could see the innocent girl has a crush and feels threatened by you. But then again...
You flip your hair.
...who wouldn't in this case?
You'll win her over later, somehow. She's a bit more venemous than you'd like, but you have something more important at the moment. You resist the urge to summon Usagi. The last man, Yoru, shrugged when the monk had come. He's said he wasn't sure he could help much with this, but he'd be by later in the day to watch.

Opting to observe for the time being, you test your bowstring as you trail behind the monk Chiriku. He leads you to a creepy door built into the foundations of the temple.

It seems like it leads down into the earth...normally you'd be turning the other direction by now, but....
you enter and go down the stone steps, which exit into a stone mausoleum of sorts. So, this is what a Temple is like...?

You can't help but feel a little amazed by it all. This is a sight few could ever hope to see.

Chiriku takes you to the far side of the hall, past columns of monks softly chanting, and to the altar. Sitting in the center of a stone dais, Amon...

Your eyebrows raise.
~Oh my~

You already feel the heat radiating from the younger girl next to you. Seems like your call was spot on.

You look at Amon, seemingly naked except for a linen loincloth, sitting on the stone dais...and turn back to the monk in front of you quickly. You close your eyes

You have a job to do now, Asa. Stay focused.
He's counting on you this time. Unlike before at Kikyo, you have this under control.

A deep breath and you open them again and approach Chiriku, currently talking to Tai. He stops as you approach, whispering something to Tai and pointing across the Hall. Tai bows and walks off. Chiriku adresses you fully.

"Asa...Amon spoke highly of you. He truly believes you to be the most talented here, in fact."

You brush your hair behind your ear, a little taken aback.
Stay focused, Asa. You already know you're the more than capable, pay attention.

"I'll be straight with you. We expect things to go south during the ritual. There is no way that the sealed spirit, Bishamon, would not take notice of what we're trying to accomplish here today.

It is not a question of if rather than when it happens. Amon is weak, VERY weak in fact. He will only get more depleted during the course of the ritual. The seal will be applied in three parts, layered one on top of the other. We are relying on you to observe and- if necessary- restrain Amon during the process should Bishamon gain possession of him. We will work to take care of the rest."

You nod. "Understood."

"Amon is relying on you, Asa.. Do not let him down."

Your hand drifts to your throat as you turn to look for a perch of some sort...you remember the last time Amon was taken by that monster. You can't risk being too close like that again, you have to take the initiative here.

But, your eyes fall upon something else instead. Rin is still rooted in place, face as red as a cherry. She stares at the blindfolded Amon's lean, sinewy figure on the dais with a mortified expression on her face. She doesn't even notice you until you crouch down slightly to whisper sweetly in her ear.

"Good Luck. From the looks of him...you'll need it."

She jumps on the spot, horrified, and shoots you an anxious glare. "I-I-I don't know what you're talking about!!"

You chuckle. "Of course, my mistake...I'll take my leave..."

You walk past her and stop, a smug grin crossing your face as you think of something.

"Oh, and Rin...I'll be the only one watching, so if your hands happen to ~slip~..."

You laugh as Rin looks like she's swallowed a frog and tries blustering something that only ends up coming out as sputters. You utilize the shunshin and make your exit, high into the stone arches in the ceiling.

It seems they're beginning, and the young Rin realizes as much as she snaps back to reality and rushes over to take her spot with Chiriku and a monk with long earlobes around Amon.

You tie the unweighted end of the chain to an arrow. There are few targets it could pierce in the stone room...
You may have to shoot Amon with it if things get out of hand, but knowing your skill it'd certainly be nonlethal.

>>772588
You take out the Fire and Lightning sealing scrolls, setting them down next to you and peeling off the adhesive shutting them.

You're not sure what techniques to expect from Amon, or if these will even be useful...but it doesn't hurt to be prepared.

Is...Is it getting hot in here, or is it just you? No, no it's definitely getting hotter. It has to be. Yup, not you.

O-oh man
You think to yourself, staring at the platform in front of you. On it is...Amon....is...
Were his shoulders always so...broad? You can see the muscles rippled in his tight neck...rolling layers of brawn spread out underneath, bulging along sharply-defined curves before splitting to his two, thick laterals and down...

......

I didn't sign up for this

Is it getting hot in here?

"Good Luck. From the looks of him...you'll need it."

You nearly scream, but can't stop yourself from physically jumping when the voice coos in your ear.
OH GOD, THEY KNOW.

You turn, horrified, only to see the smug face....
Oh, it's HER.

"I-I-I don't know what you're talking about!!" You manage to bravely defend yourself from Asa.
You start to think of some sort of clever comeback, something you can throw back at that blue hussy. You can already imagine the look on her face. She-

She just laughs at you and walks away. "Of course, my mistake...I'll take my leave..."
Yeah that's right, you better run!
God, your heart is pounding. You should probably go check what the others are up to. You...well, one more look wouldn't hurt, if it's for, uh, educational purposes...right?

"Oh, and Rin...I'll be the only one watching, so if your hands happen to ~slip~..."

Your heart stops.
Oh God, SHE DOES KNOW

But you wouldn't...I mean, you and Amon are...it's not like that!
Forget it, w-what was that comeback you just thought of, uh...
uh...

Asa laughs and shunshins up to the ceiling in front of your eyes. You'll get her next time, just watch! Wait, weren't you doing something?

You, turn and sprint towards the platform and that-which-will-not-be-mentioned, taking your spot next to Chiriku just as the older dude with the weird ears starts talking.

"....need to act quickly and precisely. There is no room for error. I have gone through the effort to retrace the designs he provided, split into three layers. Additionally, I will both post a copy on the front of the alter and talk the both of you through the patterns of the design." He hands you and Chiriku three small scrolls and points to the stone face of the alter in front of you, a paper depicting a diagram of a body covered in fragmented symbols stuck to it.

Chiriku speaks up, "How will we know what inks to use?"

Surprisingly, Amon opens his mouth and speaks openly to the air, unable to see directly due to the blindfold. "The Seal of Babylon is triple layered. The first, The Iron Armor Seal fractal, tattoo onto me using normal ink, please. I can add to it later, probably with Rin's help."

You feel butterflies in your stomach. This...is going to be a regular thing?

"Next, you'll need to use the mixture of ink and blood to paint the Admantine Chain Seal. This...will be rather long, I admit. I apologize, but try to stay focused. It will extend off my body and most likely to the corners of the room. Make sure not to step on the ink.

Finally, tattoo the Four Seals fragments across my body using my blood exclusively. It's not the cleanest thing, but I know you all have the courage for it."

You look over one of the jars to see a mid-sized pool of deep blackish-red at the bottom. Your stomach loses the butterflies and starts to shrivel a bit, you look away a bit grossed out.

"Lastly...thank you, for everything. If things don't go right..."

"That will be enough, Amon," the earlobe guy stops. "If there are no other questions..."

You...

You manage to whisper to Chiriku out of the corner of your mouth,"What do he mean by 'if things don't go right...?'"
"It means you need to run. You'll know if things go wrong."

That...totally don't sound ominous.

"So...what part am I tattooing?" you ask earlobe guy.

"I will be tattooing his back and his neck, the largest and the most difficult portions, respectively. For both the sake of modesty and his steadier hand, Chiriku will handle his lower body. You, Rin, are in charge of his torso and arms."

Oh, okay. This doesn't seem too bad then, you guess.
You grab the tattoo needle-thing as Chiriku moves the pot of ink onto the dais with the three of you. Amon stands and spreads his arms wide, a look of tired determination carved like stone into his face.
As you step up, you take your chance and whisper to him, "It will all work out Amon, I promise. Just stay strong."

He flashes a brief look of mild surprise, before giving a genuine smile back to where he heard your voice. "Rin? I was wondering where you were. That's supposed to be my line!"

You can't help but smile at his sincerity as you turn to....to...
Taut biceps greet your eyes, along with an entire rack of abs. Your knees start shaking a little, nearly giving out. You realize you're staring wide-eyed.

~The First Layer~

>>773316
>>773322

The hall grows disturbingly quiet as you and the other two guys start the tattoo. The only sound in the background seems to be the underlying hum of the monks' steady chanting in the hall. It doesn't feel...good. Judging by how the others look, everyone- no matter how focused- easily feels the palpable tension in the air. It's....ominous.

But, at first it seems to be just your nerves. The three of you steadily apply the complicated designs traced about. It isn't too...ah hell, it's hard- REALLY hard. The designs are complicated and fragments are everywhere. It just looks like a collection of random swipes and ink splotches to you. Whats up with this? You find yourself continuously looking back and forth from the scroll in front of you and back to Amon's...

...you don't think you're going to get used to seeing that pack of abs. You nearly mess up and jab the inked needles out of line when the bark of the monk in charge snaps you from the revelry. You find yourself getting a headache as you continue Amon's design though.

To Amon's credit though...he doesn't react to the tattooing almost at all. Even as the needled equipment pierces his skin over-and-over....
Even as pool seeps from the skin slightly and drips onto the linens below...

Not even a twitch.
What a champ...

By the end of it, the first jar of ink, only filled lightly, is empty. An undiscernable pattern of dashes, dots, and lines cross over Amon's upper back, legs, chest, and arms. It took a couple hours, but looks like it's done. You sigh with relief. Okay, maybe that wasn't too ba-

Everything falls apart.

You'd begun the second layer in earnest, trying to just get through this inky ordeal...

Yeah.
Then you saw the design of the second layer.

Amon wasn't kidding. This...this is huge. How it's supposed to all end up on his body is far, far beyond your understanding. This would...no, is going to cover the room.

The tattoo monk hands you the scroll, it has separate diagrams for repeating, individual sections of the chained seal. You skim through the diagrams...they're pretty complex. thankfull, you reach a defined break.
Okay, this is hard...
Okay, this is VERY hard, but at least this is all of the seal. You roll back the scroll a bit more out of curiousity to see a FULL ROOM DIAGRAM detailing MORE formations and placements.

You nearly want to drop the equipment right then and there, when your aggravated puffing catches Amon on his bare neck. He shudders with a soft gasp, surprised by the sudden sensation of something other than the constant, prickling pain. His abs begin to glisten with a small amount of sweat.
...okay, fine.

You continue painting the seals with the blood-ink mixture provided in the pot. It had taken all three of you to heave the full jar onto the platform.

It wasn't until you were delicately swiping the patterns onto Amon's arms that everything went wrong. At first, you heard the light panting, but did your damned best to ignore it. Then, he started shuddering.

Okay, it's only cute for so long. You turn back to tell him off when you see it...
His muscles are clenching, twitching rapidly. Two dots of deep RED seem to pierce their light through the eye cover. A red vapor seems to crawl from the open corners of the blindfold, trailing in the air above. The room begins to get colder.
...A-Amon?

Chiriku notices finally, "S-SHIT! It's happening! He's turning over!"
He and the other monk run back towards the others in the room, but you stumble back and fall on the ground.
The chanting gets louder and more forceful in the room, drowning out the increasingly louder groans of the sealed monk.

You look on in horror as suddenly, he speaks in a voice....that isn't his....
You remember it from your nightmares.
CHILDREN OF LIES, WHAT FOOLISHNESS IS THIS?
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE THE COMING FIRE?
SUBMIT YOURSELVES TO THE WILL OF THE NINSHU.
BECOME ONE IN ME...AND EMBRACE ETERNITY.

He slowly turns to look at you on the ground. You know he...it...can see you as clearly with the blindfold on as without.

SPAWN OF DEMONS, YOUR HOUR HAS COME. YOUR LIFE IS FORFEIT.
TO THE ABYSS ARE YOU NOW BOUND. FROM ITS DEPTHS HAVE I COME FOR YOU.

N-no...Amon...Amon, please..
THINE JUDG-

Amon grabs his head, crying in agony. He falls to his knees, his eyes no longer red.
"N-NO. N-NOT. T-TO...DAY!"

He is shuddering with intense pain.

You still watch, paralyzed with fear, when rough hands grab you from behind and lift you up with an iron grip.

It's Tai. You see Asa in the rafters, her bow drawn fully back and nocked with a chained arrow.
He holds you behind him as another sound fills the air. It's a soft prayer.

Amon repeats the mantras out loud to himself, arms clasped around his torso.

The body of faith shall burn away impurity
The bones will transform into relics of the Buddha
The ordinary mind will rise from coals of wisdom
The heart shall become diamond
Yea, as I walk through the valleys of death
I shall not fear evil
Thy truth is the staff, thy love is the light
In search of treasures, I shall't not succumb to the abyss
The Ninshu shall guide me


Slowly but surely, he stops shaking until he takes a deep breath and rises to his feet.
"I'm sorry I scared all of you. Please, let's finish this."

~The Third Layer~

After several hours the second layer is completed, thank god. Strangely, you start to see how the seal connects now. The first layer seemingly attaches to sections of the second layer's chains. Together, they complete a pattern entirely themselves. Hunh.

Chiriku manages to bring the final pot onto the platform by himself quite easily. You lazily dip your newly-cleaned equipment into the jar...

...and watch as they come out a deep, blackish-red color.
Oh, right. Blood.
...you decide to pretend it's ink anyway.

You tatto the blo-INK seals into Amon, slowly and precisely. You think...you're seeing the final design. The Four Symbols seal seems to encircle the former seals and interlock exclusively in areas left blank before.

Amon...how did he make all of this...?

"Rin," you hear a voice weakly speak to you from above as you're pricking his abs complacently with the not-blood. You look up to see a frowning Amon.

"I-I'd never try to hurt you. A promise...is a promise."

You feel your heart leap into your throat briefly, before you sigh and jab him with the needles again- eliciting a yelp in response. You're too tired for emotions at this point.

"You know better than to talk. You're weak enough as it is, Amon. Stop acting like this is the end, you big softie. It'll be over soon, 'kay?"

He pauses, chuckles a bit, then goes back to his attempt at stoicism.

>>773376
After a little longer, you think you might feel a good fraction of Amon's pain but in the form of a headache. You can't tell time in the cavern, but it's definitely your bedtime. You only have a few more sections left...

When the three of you tattooing the monk leap backwards in surprise as he suddenly bursts out in a monstrous roar, shaking the cavern to its foundation:

IS THIS THE POWER YOU HOLD SUCH FAITH IN? THE FLIMSY WORKINGS OF A CHILD ARE YOUR LAST HOPE?
MY.LAW.IS.DIVINE! MY WILL, AB-SO-LUTE!

This time, the two monks drag you back despite your protests. As they retreat farther, dust and small chuncks of rock crumble down from the ceiling. This...this isn't good. You can stop this, somehow! If this keeps up...

But, to your own horror and disgust, it is stopped...
The saving grace to the entire ritual rushes onto the scene in a flash of blue.

The quaking earth slowly steadies itself...as Asa embraces a dazed Amon in a deep, passionate kiss. She whispers in his ear.
Amon...man of your own heart...I know you are stronger than this.
Come back to me, if you would...
Our journey together is only beginning~

"A-Asa...?" He looks at her, dazed but senses regained.

....Oh, that sneaky bitch.

>You are now playing as Amon Shuu

You feel the sweet sensation of Asa's lips yet again...

It's enough to overpower that intoxicating surge of power you remember too well.
That you were nearly consumed by.

You take off your blindfold to see her, warmly smiling back at you.

"I knew you could do it, Mister Mighty Monk," she flicks the bottom of your chin as she back away, teasing you even more.

You turn around to see the relieved faces of Tai, that one earlobed guy, and...

...why...why did Rin look so mad?

Regardless, you beckon them all back. This needs to be finished, once and for all.

************************************

The seals are finally completed. You do admit...you're incredibly relieved to be free of that prickly hell. Your body hurts in ways and places you couldn't have imagined.

The long-earlobed monk puts down his instruments. "My part is done. I must admit, out of all the projects I've constructed over the years...this...this is the most impressive."

He glares at you immediately. "I swear on the Ninshu, if you and your reckless friends destroy this too, I-"
You gesture apologetically until you placate the monk.

"So, I'm curious...what's next in your grand plan?" Asa cocks her head at you, teasing. "Collapse another cave? A fish tattoo on your big toe?"

Well...this, actually. You give Asa a knowing grin before you slam your palms to the ground.

"SEAL OF BABYLON: ADAMANTINE CHAINS OF HEAVEN! LOCK!"

The chained patterns across the room and on your body glow white hot and feel as much too. You weather the waves of burning pain as they turn red, then bright gold, and finally start to shrink.

Asa, Rin, and the others look at you with sudden concern as your face contorts in pain, your body feeling like it is being compressed in a flaming furnace as the seal creep their way onto your body slowly...

...and finally, it is over. You collapse onto your knees, your head slumped towards the ground.

"THAT. WAS. INCREDIBLE!" Calls a voice from the front of the cavern. An wide-eyed Yoru is practically bouncing with excitement as he watches the last moments of the grueling, excruciatingly painful ritual.

You feel yourself passing out...

"I...couldn't have done any of this without you...thank you." you mutter, before struggling to look up at the stubbornly pouting Rin. "I'd hug you and all, but my body is pain manifested."
She frowns down at you, but eventually her face goes softer. "I...I guess you'll just have to owe me double later then."

You start to laugh back with the girl when SOMEONE WALKS UP AND HUGS YOU FIRMLY.
Yoru laughs heartily to himself and the stunned group, "Haha! CONGRATULATIONS! When I heard your plan, I didn't think it'd look so spectac-"

Amon: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwHWbsvgQUE"

The group sits stunned at the sudden scriek of pain. Yoru looks like he just saw a murder.
You look at him, dead in your eyes. "Well I'm glad you at least had a good time."
And pass out on the spot.

Oh boy Kushina is either gonna be upset at us for knowing secret clan shit, or amazed that we are good enough to do this kind of seal combination. Soon we'll have to study bijuu seals to spiff up Rin's and any other jinchuuriki.

How does Tai feel about the whole ceremony thing? What were his thoughts as events were going down?

Any hints on how Rin's squad is gonna feel about Rin being alive and head-over-heels for some monk that's tattoo'ed to hell and back?

How's Minato gonna take all this? I mean, he's probably gonna hear that we fucked up the Mist Swordsmen, so that's a thing.

Is Orochi gonna be a problem with wanting to know about seals?

You feel warmth shining down on your face. You open your eyes to a sunny sky and green grass around you.

A light humming floats about your ears as you notice the itching, tugging sensation on your chest. Looking up you see Rin kneeled over you, her hands glowing with a faint green light. Her peaceful expression breaks as soon as she spots that you're awake.

"A-Amon! Thank goodness, you've been out for a while. It's been two days...we were worried about you. I was worried...I'd thought the sun and air would be better those empty stone rooms and stale beds in the Temple."

You groan as you feel your skin.
...why are you shirtless?

Anyway, it'd be hard to notice the aching pain still welling throughout your protesting limbs and body. The skin over the wounds is fresh and most scabs and such are healed, though your body is still pink and raw almost all over.

But across your shoulders, chest, arms, around your neck, down your spine, crossing your waist and down to your feet...
The Chains of Heaven lock your body awake entirely in their inky prescence, with the exception on your head and face.

The Gates of Babylon.

The world seems a little warmer now, for some reason.

So the tattoos look like red and black chains on Amons body?

>>777495
Actually blood becomes kinda brown when it dries. At least in my experience with blood stains.

>>777506
Thanks, serial killer anon. Brown tattoos would look sort of weird though

>>777495
The First (ink) and Third (mostly blood with some ink for durability) layers will stick out. They'll look like a sort of tribal design appearing and reappearing, interlocking across his body.

The Second Layer (chains) was painted on. It will fade in time but for now it is still freshly stained on Amon's skin.

When used, the chains of the seal will glow regardless of whether the original painted markings remain

>>777511
It would mostly blur with whatever skin tone we have. Remember that no matter what color tattoo you put on your body it becomes a but faded after like a day.

>>777520
WELP THERE GOES WHATEVER THE FUCK I JUST EXPLAINED. I hope isn't glowing too brightly.

>>777530
Third layer would be more brown, so think of them as black and lighter brown chains.

Pretty much only glowing when you materialize the chains

The scene from when you passed out is still freshly painted in your mind. You ask Rin about the events following it.

Tai had carried you from the room by himself, not allowing anyone to see you for nearly a day. He almost caved to a demanding Asa, but everyone was turned back to allow you to rest until stable. He was particularly vehement Yoru be allowed nowhere near you.

Rin managed to convince him, though she won't say how or why Tai let her.
"It's...a secret," she asks when you push the question a bit more. You decide to drop it for now.

Since then, things have been quiet around the Temple. Part of the damage to the outer walls was decided to be "unreparable," much to the chagrin of a certain, long-earlobed monk. However, the efforts to reseed the vegetation around the battle site have gone swimmingly. The backyard is looking to be rebuilt and they decided the cracks in the courtyard added "character". They conglomerated what materials you collected and constructed during your research into the deep corners of their own library.

Whenever you would need it, you can come back for it. You have most of the key information in your journal as is.

As for Asa...she seems to have been getting quite comfortable. Which is to say, Rin's only spotted her out and about on her own pretty often. Asa seems to be making an effort to get on everyone's good sides though, as she's been pretty sweet to Rin lately. She doesn't get along with Tai...but you've seen her and Yoru together a few times as she practices archery. He'd always have one of his papers out, showing her something.

In fact, Rin notes, she hasn't seen Yoru without a pencil and paper as of yet.
It seems like everyone has gone back to their own routines with you out-of-comission...but they're still waiting for you.

"Hey, Rin...where are my clothes?"

She looks at you sleepily for a moment before her eyes widen and she jumps up, head looking right and left.
"I-I-I was just healing your wounds, that's all! This wasn't for anything else, okay?!" She tosses the clothing at you, pulling her Konoha headband a bit lower to cover her eyes as she sighs.

"Just cover up already."

"How are you?" You ask the abashed girl. She looks at you warily for a few moments before she holds her hand to her heart, a bit downcast.

"Do...do you think everything went well at the ceremony? Are you happy? Some...weirder stuff happened, after all."

"I can't say I'm happy with letting Bishamon threaten you, Rin. Of course I'm glad I wasn't possessed, but I can't accept that I let him say those things. I'm sorry I was overwhelmed. I won't let that happen again, for your sake. I can't."

Rin smiles to herself, apparently feeling a little better about something.

"How does everything look medically?"

Rin shakes her head. "I'm no Tsunade, but I'd say you're through the worst of it. You may want to stick to books for a little while, if you can even stand to after how much you've already read."

You stand...although it is painful, you would hardly put this as anything nearly as debilitating as Kikyo.
You're just...exhausted, really.

You tell Rin you'll be back in a bit as you resolve to find Tai. Rather, as you pass up through the doors leading into the temple, you bump into a surprised Chiriku.

"So, you're awake then? Good to see you in one piece. Your friends have been rather worried...and rather antsy. But, if you have a few minutes the council would like to talk to you before your departure."

You agree, accompanying the monk to the council chamber yet again. They doors are open wide now, allow a fair amount of fresh air and light to permeate the room. Yet, the only people there are the High Priest, the antagonistic priest, and the monk who was in charge of your tattoo ritual.

Ah, Amon, we were just discussing you. Please, join us

The high priest calls you over, jovially. The one who antagonized you not even that long ago even is scowling at you less. Earlobed-Monk still eyes you carefully, prepared for when you inevitably break something important in the room.

You did it. You made the seal. To say we were surprised...well, surprised would be an understatement

But, this is no time to rest! You must be vigilant. Bishamon may yet still be working a means to escape. You cannot allow him to seize even the smallest opportunity.
The grumpy one cuts off the high priest. The earlobed monk takes his chance to scold you as the high priest stares down the man, annoyed.

Remember what I said, now. Keep that intact, or else. The seal is strong, but can be forced open if you let it fully unlock for too long. When unlocking the Seal of Babylon in battle, DC checks will begin as a randomly generated number between 1-4 and double every round. Strength and Speed are boosted by 1, while stamina by 2. Additionally, any nearby allies will suffer full effects of the leeching. The passive effect grows every by +0.25 every three threads, making for a stonger effect against allies and enemies.

The high priest just waves off the men before he reaches into his robes and hands you a small, hinged box.
We await news of your success with bated breath. Consider this a token of our support. It belonged to Nasam of the Five Gates, a masterful sage who excelled in the storage and release of chakra. Use it how it was meant to.

You take the box in awe, putting it away to look at later.

What are your plans going forward?

Simple goal is best goal also, we still need to complete the mission first.

Pick two at most, pls

>You just want to deliver your friends home, maybe rebuild your Temple.
Damn you Red, all the options are good. Frankly I would have picked the Hiragan one since I did always think of Amon wandering the lands and helping people/spread his belief in the Ninshu

>You just want to deliver your friends home, maybe rebuild your Temple.

Get our friends to where they need to go then further deal with Bishamon.

I'd like to keep improving our sealcrafting skills, but that's a slightly lower priority seeing as we've just finished our seal. It'll be a long while before we should start thinking about making modifications.

"I just want to make sure my friends get back home safe, maybe rebuild my own later on in the future. I'm going to keep an eye out for the tailed beasts in the meantime. I think they'll be the first key to stopping Bishamon."

The three men nod approvingly. They tell you to come back if you happen to require shelter...well, one of them doesn't.

Just smash them with his bulk? I mean, if a monster fox is the size of a small mountain, an octopus thing is the size of a large one, and a tortoise is literally an island, how big would a whale be? Especially if he's a blue whale. He'd probably be the size of a continent or something.

You head off towards the first spot you think Yoru would be, the backyard where you had the campfire. You're off a little bit. As you reach the site you see an enthusiastic Yoru coversing with a practicing Asa. As she fires another arrow at a tree, he cups his chin in thought before making several concise gestures in the direction of the shoot. Asa looks back to the man curious. With a nod, she shunshins onto the roof and around to what you'd guess is the site of your old battle with Hoki.

You approach Yoru, interested. "What's up here? Seems like you've got a idea in the works."

Yoru realizes someone is talking to him and joyfully notices you walking across the grounds. "Amon! It's so good to see you up and about, champ! I have to say, while I normally don't like tattoos I may just make an exception...you manage to make it work."

"Ah yes, our dear Blue Lady and I have been conspiring a little. She mentioned the fight with Hoki in detail and I couldn't help but think of a few things that might've come in handy in the situation. She really does have a good eye for potential in these kinds of things, though.
It's refreshing, to be sure. It's not everyday you meet someone so receptive to your talents, eh?"

He laughs heartily. "But enough of the banter. I'll be honest, Amon, I made a mistake back there. I acted without knowing the state you are in. I hope you didn't take it personally."

You wave it off, it was hardly anything- what's a little pain, anyway? You're friends, after all. You ask him about the plans Rin mentioned earlier though. You can't help your own curiosity at the odd man's inventions.

Yoru breaks into a wide grin as he tells you how Asa has been suggesting different approachs to the invention he showed you before, The Handheld Kunai Launcher. Apparently adding a tactile aspect to the normally mechanical process Yoru would use has been paying off.

You wish him luck and head back to see Rin, part of you hoping the Blue Kunoichi would sweep in to flash you that smile of hers before you'd left.

"All of it? But that's so much! You mean they couldn't even leave a little bit? I'd be soooo itchy. They'd probably make an exception for me. I mean come on, do you know how many flowers I had to take to make it look this good?"
She chatters excitedly with the freshly-shaved monks. She rubs their fuzzy heads as they giggle and pretend to fight her off when she notices you approaching.

She jumps up, much to the disappointment of the kids. "Amon! I thought you'd have been busy with someone else by now..."
She sulks a little bit, looking up to a flash of blue over the Temple.

I don't remember Rin telling us she is, but you are right Bishamon called Rin a demon. Maybe Amon could assume from there.

>>778032
>She pauses for a moment, her empty eyes say she's recollecting a distant memory.
"They sealed...something...in me. They called it the 'three-tailed', a demon.
I'm a monster." She begins to sob openly. Yoru looks back at you two, focus jarred from the dusty bottle he's holding

I'm going to keep reading a little more

>>778037
Huh, I don't remember that at all. Maybe I missed a bit of one thread or something, I'll go back and look at it.

I guess we're gonna have to go look at that seal sometime soon then.

>>778041
It was thread 4, the only other time it comes up in that thread is Amon and Yoru talking about it. Yoru of course dismisses the notion. Going to look at 5 and call it quits there

"Well, I'd heard a rumor there have been a few haircuts around here..." You start nonchalantly, casually walking towards the kids. "...Obviously we have to see whose head is the fuzziest!"

You crouch down in the group of kids, letting them feel the longer stubble on your head as you tell them stories of how you'd all get your hair shaven at the Water Temple too. You slip in how Tai *may* or *may not* tried growing out a beard once...only for you to shave it off in the middle of the night.

You give one of the giggling children a pat on the head. She pulls something out of your robes and jumps at you, trying to get you to look at it. It's a small necklace with a little, single shell looped in its length. She hands it to you, expectantly.

She...wants to give it to you? You don't have any need for it but...
You think of something. "Rin, look at this!"

Rin, who'd been watching the scene with a smile, scoots over. To her honest surprise, you put the small trinket around her neck. "It looks good on you."

The little monk child walks right and plops down between the two of you, holding your hands as she plays with her feet.
Rin's smile grows, then gets softer. She rubs the small child's head and in return the little monk rests her head on Rin's chest, falling asleep within minutes.

You look on the peaceful scene and the contented look on Rin's face. She notices you looking and holds your gaze steadily for a moment...before the blush in her cheeks reaches a deep crimson and she looks away, petting the yawning child's head more frantically.

"Yo!" A relaxed Tai calls from the gates of the Temple. "Are we heading out anytime soon?"
Rin nearly falls over hearing another voice. The child stretches back awake, gets up, and runs off after her friends.

You get up as a chatty Yoru and amused Asa round the corner of the Temple Walls.

Well, looks like we're about ready to go. Tai holds your pack and the Wen Qu up in the air, expectantly.

You...

It's totally archived. If you replace the OP number in in a suptg link with thread 7's it takes you right to it. I don't know why it's not visible. Maybe talk to whoever runs suptg Red? I'd rather this not be a common problem on suptg.

I'll go back to thread 8 and tell people in the archive how to do it. Better they read it late than never.

Also, QM posts from Thread 7 have been pastebin'd just in case.

You hike along the thickening forest trails with the other companions, fresh out the Fire Temple gates. Yoru and Asa are still murmoring, Yoru now inspecting her bow intently. Rin and Tai seem to be whispering to each other in hushed tones, Rin occasionally letting out a giggle.

Yoru seems to be leading the group for the moment, though you'll probably take point eventually.
