The Files of the Unexplainable Anomalies & The Satori Yantra
The Files of the Unexplainable Anomalies
The Files of the Unexplainable Anomalies (FUA) are the collections of Hyuuga Yatako, of notable things unexplainable in life that upon experiencing; sketched in the parchment of the tome of his cousin. They depict the various experiences, views and identifications of people whom all would not be experienced by any before him, or any else by his side. Strange and exotic places are also mentioned in these files.
- Identification: Hokage Chouzou
Archived Data: All reports on Chouzou have been locked away in the vaults of Konohagakure no Sato. Born in Konohagakure, he ascended to Jounin status at the age of fifteen and was branded to be too powerful and reckless, which dubbed him the classification as an A-rank missing-nin. He had been asleep for a total of One hundred years, not aging a day since he was put in a catatonic state. He was placed in to an eternal sleep by his lover, the royal Hinoi when he was being perused by both Konohagakure and Kumogakure. When he awakened, he was found by Kumogakure and was ordered to obey them, they stole from him an orb that contained his immense power. It wasn’t long after that, that he had became Hokage and eventually lead the Konoha Resistance to his resting place, where he was reunited with Hinoi after death. Reports indicate he became alive again, for a short amount of time before disappearing and never being heard of again.
- Identification: -- Hinoi
Archived Data: Chouzou’s lover, not much is known about her other than she had placed Chouzou in to an eternal sleep after he was killed in order to preserve him. Her regret and bearing of her sin lead her to remain tied to this world until Chouzou was reunited with her in the afterlife. She was a noble, he was a mercenary to protect him.
- Identification: The Beast Man [Former General of Kumogakure no Sato]
Archived Data: The nameless former general of Kumogakure who sealed Chouzou’s chakra and strength in to a single orb, which left him with only a fraction of his original power and allowed the general to control the Hokage. He woke Chouzou from his sleep on the suspect that he had the power to revive Uchiha Itachi. He was mastermind behind the actions of the Kumogakure Empire in the sanctuary of the Unknown Ruins and was killed by Chouzou’s ultimate technique: Ragnarock. It was also recorded that Chouzou used the Rasengan in this battle.
- Identification: -- Naoki
Archieved Data: A mysterious stranger that met with Yatako during the night who bestowed upon him the mystical gauntlets, the Shoure-te. All Yatako could remember from their meeting was his midnight cloak fashioned with a rainbow of exotic jewels, but just as quickly as the man came he left. He had remarkable power, enough to lead Yatako out of the tree house with a song.
- Idetification: -- Momo
Archived Data: The enigmatic girl with a hot headed temper that pushed the boundaries of sanity is none other than the daughter of the Raikage preceding Raikou. She was left in his and Rakurai’s protection after the Bijuu of the eight tailed beast had been sealed within her. She reached the three tailed exposure when attacking the peace seeking Resistance shinobi in council with Jishin and was knocked unconscious before she could unleash her power.
- Idetification: Kinsen Rasen
Archived Data: One of Yatako's compatriots that shared in the victory of the battle against Inabikari Raikou. Raz exhibited a strange phenomenon that Yatako felt it was worth mentioning. There is an inexplicable relationship of this man and the element of wind, something that transcends mere affinity for the subject. Even having his own affinity for the element, Yatako was simply amazed to see the silverish tint of air flow around him so freely and the ferocity was magnified beyond reason.
- Report# 01; The Sanctuary of Immure
Location: Unknown Ruins; Lowest Level
Archived Data: Hidden beneath the Unknown Ruins is an indescribable Sanctuary. This special sanctuary is where Chouzou was held sleeping for one hundred years. In this sanctuary, chakra openly flows around giving off a healing radiation, through a various set of trials, one may access this room.
- Report# 02; The Cathedral of Nonexistence
Location: The Forest of Death; Konohagakure no Sato
Archived Data: The Cathedral with its door locked from the inside and hidden from all eyes. It has only been recorded that the Cathedral was visited once, upon the divine summoning of Yatako. The Cathedral has many rooms, its keeper, a strange young or perhaps elderly woman; its true nature and purpose unknown. There is a vast amount of knowledge contained in here, but there is no visible entrance or exit.
- Report# 03; The Mortal Forest
Location: The Alchem Forest
Archived Data: A forest created by Alchem Sanji. Though it seems as though this is selection has been solved, there seems to be a strange and alive will and being in the forest, even the forest itself seems to be more alive than the natural forest.
- Report# 04; Plane of the Sacred Beasts
Location: Alchem Forests
Archived Data: The otherworldly realm of the summons. Yatako has seen this place only once, while sparring with Syaoran, he had transported them both there just briefly. Though how one would enter said realm was unknown, how close it was to ours, also unknown. Another question opens up; are there more doors to the dimension?
- Report #05; Realm of the Spirits
Location: Inconclusive.
Achieved Data: The immortal plane of the deities. First seen at the battle against the Raikage atop Soutenkyuuden palace in Nigiyakashufu, the entrance to the realm is still unknown. At the Raikage’s death, one of the celestial figures embedded with unreadable kanji looked to the world below, opening its voice to the shinobi. It bore the name Raijin.
- Report #06; The Golden Timepiece
Location: Tokeiza Jishin
Achieved Data: The Golden Timepiece is Yatako's reference for the golden pocket watch that the Raikage carries. In addition, this entry stands for the entire lot of watches found on the man, but the specific pocket watch that he repeatidly checked off and on throughout their meeting. Yatako suspects this watch may hold significance, especially since it was used in the attack that stopped Momo's assault- setting at the clocks to 12 o'clock. Yatako also suspects that this watch is an item used for a very powerful time jutsu that either stops time or rewrites it entirely.
- Report #07; Treasures of the Black Cull
Location: Hi no Kuni [In Yatako's Possession]
Achieved Data: A pendant and tanto given by Sonniku after reporting back from his mission investigating a food poisoning. They were relics of Jashinists, who according to Sonniku are "robbing graves and poisoning soups with human bones, aside from completely fucking murdering people". The objects contained a chilling essence about them, along with sensations of anguish and spilled blood. The inscriptions on the blade were made with illegible seals and the screams of trapped souls can be heard to a sensitive being.
The Satori Yantra
he Satori Yantra is a collection of meditations, cantos and writings Hyuuga Yatako has penned from the contortions of his mind. Literally the "Instrument of Understanding", Yatako has recorded all of his insights into the world, its inner mechanics and flow, along with the valuable lessons he learned in his lifetime. As a work meant to pass off a legacy, the Satori Yantra was written for the purpose of teaching outside of the shinobi realm and directly into the metaphysical dimensions and the path one takes to reach enlightenment and understanding.
The Ode of Justice and Mercy
Justice is an iron scepter glittered with pearls Its decree is final, its lips are true But it can only wash blood with blood
Mercy is a gentle calf grazing emerald fields Easy to ignore, for the just fatted calf would taste so well And yet ashes fill the tongue Mercy's nectar fills both the accused and the accuser
Justice is a wayward ram, following the black shepherd's beck So soon will its fine wool have bristles But mercy is an unwavering grin Which no sun can be brighter
Canto; Rendezvous--
Who are you and where will you walk? Have we met before my friend? For I've known the rythms of your voice Before I knew what words were
I know you've wondered the people you've been and the one you are And where the foosteps in the sand were washed Stop running on glass and reach for the hand To waltz beneath the stars in open fieilds
[When the weight of the world comes crashing down And all that's in the streets Is the emptiness in your heart Know that a dance brought you to be]
If the mirrors don't stop laughing Shatter them for silence The worst luck one will ever find Is to hide from their own shadow
[Chorus]
Against the storm the skin's the strongest shelter And with a prayer on your lips The clouds will part and light breezes through The mountains have moved by your words alone
Meditation; The Lost Hurricane
The sun! The sun! The breath of life twisting around me. Let not this breath me choked! -but rhyme'd with syncope in honest metronome For each second of imprisoned thought My soul rots Your command is to me forever wed I do, I do not? For what is hard for who created all? Why do seasons frail and impotence germinate?
I will not settle for believing this is an unshatterable wall And unless I am bequeathed a chance to prove, what weight do I have? If these notions brush the impossible, how will I know? I am living an unconscious lie With Your staff You said "The truth shall set you free" Then strike me free in these churning waters!
Love believes all, trusts all- this is true, yes? Then display this before my hand as it is projected in the stars Do not bring me so close to let it be snatched away! I cannot fathom the serendipity But pursue valiantly the meditations of my heart An act of love is the only act of truth there is Let the earth shake at the song of my soul The burning desire made pure to clean the air And chase the dark with golden beams.
By the worth of my eternal soul I rally for this end To clip this bird is a terrible wrong! I speak not in arrogance for I deserve not this power But I have it! Caged, confused but unsettled This Alcehmy will be done.
I am the lost hurricane adrift at sea Mine eyes can barely taste the zenith of the sun A rupturing core taken by the hands of an auster These shivers twist down my spine An invisible shackle to enchant a sloth These dusty bones will crack should the world turn back, unscathed Titles and paper and gold are all trash against this one true tint I will mold this world with the breath I was created with.
The Spirit of the World
The Spirit of the World is the most intricate, complex and yet fundamental structure of all existence. It is the web in which people climb and are connected into this world. Through it flows the natural energy and chakra that are received by humans, yokai and summons. It is affected by everyone's hopes, dreams and emotions- by which all serve as moldings of the web. The degree to a person's intensity in their own existence determines how the web reacts. Great heroes forged by fire and deadbeat addicts all contribute to the Spirit of the World. It is further influenced by the hands of great deities, but not even their carving hands can control the Spirit of the World completely. In its own right, the Human Spirit is indomitable.
So Love
Love is unbound by language- as the cultural universal, this idea transcends the bounds of emotion, possibilities and habituated actions. Time turns no wrinkles on love. Allegories and words will never find the right pattern to contain this central crux of human behavior. There comes a point in one's life where they stop running around questioning the intentions of love and accept it as it is. It becomes a simple command "So love" without rhyme or reason. If reality is a projection of the Spirit of the World, then love acts as the needle and thread, stitching lives together to further the web. To give one's life to love is to perpetuate the human species and quite possibly cause a ripple effect for future structures. An act of love is the only act of truth there is.
Motion Sickness
In all the busy mainstream of life, how soon will we forget how to slow down and appreciate the little things? Our bodies are tanks, are pyramids of great achievement, but they are not built for the fast life. They will quickly burn out before they come to the realization that the countless days of worry and sleepless night have only written their end sooner. Life is meant to be lived, not simply survived. Take no moment for granted, for each grain of sand played a vital role in creation. Each breath, another chance to live. Every step in your life is another chance encounter that is uniquely tailored for each individual.
Well of Souls
All souls originate out of Spirit of the World and are connected inside of the Well. Any life seen through the physical plane is a manifestation of the Spirit of the World. When a body dies, the soul is rinsed back into the Well of Souls, purified and then proceeds into the cyclic nature of all souls until it has reached completion. Souls return with matching souls as they travel through life, which is responsible for meeting a person believed to be an old friend. Time is not a factor and souls will meet again and again until each has helped the other achieve perfection.
