Visiting The Great Destroyer. I seek a chat.

-Shinta walked right up to the kage's castle. and through the door.
He made the entire trip on foot for no apparant reason. He fixed his coat and walked up some stairs
. He would find Kham's Office eventually of that he was sure.
And he did . He gave a light knock and waited patiently.

-*The door swung open, the entire Kage castle was half a building... yes half a building. Valerio's side wiped out by various disasters and such. Upon the door first opening there wouldn't be anyone in the office but with the breeze, Kham blew in appearing instantly in the chair of his desk. The sun shined through the missing half of the Kage castle illuminating Mahk-X's face under his hood. He took it off*-

"Urashura... we're going to fight in my office now? The building is already beyond repair."

-*kham let out a dry chuckle.*-

"No no I doubt I have the gusto to fight like that today."

-Shinta Smiled. The smile was easily seen today as he didn't have his scarf on .

He took a look around the wreckage . it was rather funny He was so deep in thought he didn't even notice it-

"I simply came to talk with you about a few things... Of course only if you have the time.'

"Naturally, there is more than enough hours in the day to chat with a friend."

-*Kham reclined in his chair as he motioned for Shinta to speak.*-

"friend... I'm glad you think of me that way Kham.. It's percisly why I came here.
There has always been something Ive pondered and pondered. and I thought if we fought ..I might figure it out but in the end I still don't know.'

-He paused and took off his glasses cleaning them with his shirt. still standing there.-

"KHam .. I want to know what your overall goal is.. what is it you wish to strive for.. You asked me this in the heat of the battle.. but I had no face to answer.. and Now im curious as to what your's is."

-*Kham decided to joke with Shinta back, in reality he asked him because he did not truly know himself....*-

"Well, even though I asked you first... I will inform you of what purpose I seek in this life."

-*Kham leaned in forward and gave it some thought for a moment.*-

"I feel like the only thing tying me to this existence is my family, and the people I surround myself with. Though I may not own up to it, I have some duty to protect this world. But I just feel like... that goal isn't myself."

'Yes.. I agree with you Kham this isn't you.. I see you and I think to myself..
Why are you playing the part of the Kage the ..father.. the earths advocate.... Some people were meant for much greater things.

This planet it's people.. In the end that can be a duty given to someone else.. '

-He looked over and now he eventually sat on a small chair he made out of some sort of dark matter.-

"I've for awhile have been secretly working toward my goals.. Kham.."
-He seemed almost nervous to say this .It was the look of someone deeply conflicted.-

"I enjoy the role of father, but the goal of Kage is so.... earthly. It just isn't for me. People like you and I were meant to be something much greater!"

-*Khams voice rose towards the end of his statement, it was clear he had thought about this for a long time.*-

"I just have no clue what I want..."

"Yes I can see you feel the same way I do.. We have so much in common .With that You also Know I feel I must do All I can to see to it that whatever heights I want to achieve..They are fulfilled.'

-Shinta poked up His glasses and stared Kham down for a moment before speaking.-

"I have started to turn some things in motion and when they come to fruition I feel as though You might as well find what your looking for.

Kham I went and saw death......I.. Made a pact with him."

-*Kham's eyes widened... he had never heard someone dare utter 'Death's' name in 10 long long year. Ever since he was a sannin in the abyss.*-

"THE Death... The Horseman? How... how did you... why did you"

-*Kham was at a sheer loss for words. He never knew that someone could 'tame' such an entity and still live! Urashura was an amazing man.*-

-Shinta closed his eye's and remembered that bold risk e took.-
'We came to an understanding.. I have many a souls you know.. many that he would love to own himself.
So we have come to an understanding..

. My soul shall never die.. It shall never pass over to the other side into his possession I am now On deaths Immune list.'

-Shinta's eyes seemed to pulse and shake a slight bit. He then began to give a small bit of laughter at all it.-

"With that we are Almost one ..However in exactly 100 years from that day.. He will gain possession of every single soul I own.
However On the off chance that he dies before then.. His souls are then mine."
-SHinta's smirk was un-hidable at this time. It would seem to any normal person he had gone completely mad.-

-*Kham returned the smirk, it seemed that Shinta much like himself did not mind risking his very being to accomplish the goal he chose.*-
"So you are literally playing a game with death... How you do expect the horseman to perish if he too is timeless like someone like yourself?"

"Well of course I still need to do a bit of research before I figure out exsactly how my plan shall play out.'

-He gave a small cough . It seemed Kham was on board. He played this meeting through his head before and he could imagine Kham reacting a few way's.-

"But DO I think a hourseman can perish? Absolutely.. Though I don't think it will be easy and It must be handled with care..
You see As I recall through Vash's Memories..Death destroyed War.. After he left I'm sure War was abruptly revived but that in it's self tells me there must be someway.

SO..Ive sent some Gennin after my cross necklace I lost some time ago in a fight with Zeik when he was Hao's puppet.

With that necklace I can go far below the sea and access he ancient Archives Of my mother's ..She was the original Orion Who made My father.. ..Theirs no telling how old she really was.

I think in that archive there might be something On this matter. ANd I come to ask you when I get this key..MY necklace back If you will come with me..'

-Shinta held out his hand as a gesture of want.-

"Before you get involved with my scheme.. Know that by the end people might get hurt..However I'm certain You might find Something that you as well desire."

"Knowing the risks mean nothing to me, I am also sure that all the 'presumed' dead horsemen were revived. They play a vital role in life. I will come with you as always..."

-*Kham turned around to the open side of the building gazing out towards the Twilight Ocean.*-

"There has to be more than just... this. I cannot shake the feeling that you are trying to 'become death' Urashura."

"Hmm...Without even reading my mind .. Im impressed at your insight!
For quite some time that's been my goal. I want to transcend all of this..

In my long life what have I really accomplished... ridding the world of the Orion and gaining a pointless title like lord of darkness...
There just words nothing more they mean nothing.

But if all the horsemen meet some type of doom the positions must be given to others... of that Im sure."
-Shinta gave a look around again . He was making sure no one was listening in. This was some pretty heavy talk and who knows how others would react to it.-

"Hmph... So it is then. I never thought that a mere mortal can simply ascend to become a horseman! It sounds like a reality more that madness."

-*Kham exhaled he was taking all of this in.*-

"Very well, I will see you to your goal and I will come with you."

"A million blessing to you then Kham .
I will contact you again when I receive MY necklace and we shall take a look at records
older then I can probably comprehend.. Until then I hope to see you around.'
-Shinta stood up now and again fixed his coat. He gained a very powerful ally to help him see the success of his plan .He was feeling rather good.-

-*Kham nodded with Shinta. He needed to find his purpose, and maybe leave someone else Kage.*-

"And you sent a team of Genin to retrieve it? Why did you not just do it yourself?"

"It doesn't want to be found.. It's a fickle thing if it see's me coming it will find a way to turn the idiot bandit's who found it against eachother and I'll lose it's position again.

SO..I got an informant of mine ..an Anbu from the Chaos to round some gennin up and bring it to him.. once it's in his hands it's in mine without that infernal thing knowing it is."

"Clever... clever indeed. Do you not think that the absence of Death will trigger the arrival of the other horseman again? Recall Vash's memories, none of the horsemen were defeated by our own power."

"Well the idea.. was to create a situation where all the horsemen come to Vescrutia. Thats why I need more research.
But as you said none of them were defeated by your own powers. I think that's the very reason Death left in the first place. I believe the horsemen came to test you all to see what kind of threat you posed to the universe.

ANd Im more then willing to bet he came to the conclusion it wasn't a very big threat. But.. think of how much The Shinobi world has grown..Grown to something that has immassed I think much threat.
It may be a short time ..10 years but think of the limitations that have been shattered since then?

Would that not boad a little judgment.'
-Shinta smiled darkly and gave an ominous chuckle. -
"Of course that is all speculation.'

"To summon the horsemen manually is to bring about Armageddon itself. I always wanted a rematch with that one... Famine."

-*Kham nodded to himself, he too gradually became a man of research and could possibly aid Shinta in his endeavors like he once aided Vash.*-

"I can help you, within my inherited sanctum lies many secrets about the world. Perhaps there is something concerning the horsemen."
