MIZU NO KUNI
Outside Kirigakure This civil war was irritating.
There were top secret meetings being had and plans being laid all around Kirigakure, and Taigetsu wasn't required for any of them - so he'd taken the time to slip out and find a quiet spot to meditate. He was still within sight of the village, so he could respond if there was another attack, but far enough away that the work going on to clear the gates of rubble wouldn't bug him.
Taigetsu looked up to the sky, noting the full moon that was rising as the sky moved towards the night, and took a seat, placing his hands together in a concentration kata, and allowed his consciousness to slip into the mental space he shared with Saiken, the Rokubi.
Before him loomed the great slug, all six of it's tails squishing behind it. The Rokubi was... sleeping? The slug's eye stalks had sucked into it's head and it's eyes were closed, which for some reason irritated the Hozuki. "OI! SAIKEN!" He yelled, waking the slug up with a start. Ore ore, Taigetsu-kun, you shouldn't yell at me like that the beast spoke directly into Taigetsu's mind. "Yeah well you shouldn't fall asleep at random times." He retorted, crossing his arms.
So what do you want from me, Taigetsu-kun? The slug asked, wondering why he'd been disturbed from his slumber. "Well... I'm bored! Little brother Sanbi has been gone for a while, so no Bijû training for him, but that doesn't mean we can't chat, right?"
Ore ore...

Isobu
Isobu was powerful as the other biju were but the wounds suffered by shen were dampening his ability to radiate his power, a momentary flicker in his chakra as the night descended. Isobu could feel the nights power even in his current state, the heightened power emanating from him as the full moon sailed overhead. This may be his only chance to reach outward until shen gained the consciousness and returned to better health. Pressing with power outward he called out as far as he could, inviting any other of his family that his psychic voice could reach to join him. "Hello..."Isobu's deep resonating voice, a sound peeking out from a long slumber deep under water, called out. "Someone...Anyone...Hear me..."Isobu's voice sounded frantic as he called out to his brethren, not knowing if the power of the full moon would be enough to reach any of them. |

Hmm...?
Saiken was suddenly distracted. He heard the voice of Isobu calling out, and reached for his brother in return. Suddenly, Taigetsu found himself standing between the seven and three tailed beasts. "Isobu..." Taigetsu said, turning his attention to his kôhai's bijû. Brother, what's the matter? Saiken asked of the three tails, showing concern for the crustacean. "And where is Shen?" Taigetsu added - normally a Jinchûriki would be joining the Bijû in telepathic communication.
And yet, the Sanbi appeared before them alone.

 Isobu
With a glance to his left side Isobu lifted his arm showing Shen, sitting on the ground his back to Isobu's belly. Shen held his hand over his left side as though holding a wound, his eye's were closed as he silently spoke to himself. His mind still dealing with the wounds he had suffered in the fight with his abductors, he didn't respond as Isobu looked toward him as though he was somewhere else. "His mind was not able... to fully connect to this plane...without the full moon i may have not been...able to either..."Isobu turned his gaze back to the Saiken and Taigetsu, his one open left eye seemed almost somber as it looked toward his family. "We have been captured... i am not sure by whom... or for what purpose... but i fear for the worse... the shinobi that we met in battle, was fierce... far beyond Shen's abilities... even with my raw power we were unable to match the man's ability... if Shen had more time... to train it may have been a different story... but sadly that was not the case..."Isobu shuttered for a moment as the psychic link expressed his fear, it was a cold feeling that held a pressure over others. Those nearby may feel it for a moment, a sinking fear as though they were held deep in an ocean. The darkness of an ocean floor, its icy touch, and binding pressure making the air around him feel thick. Then it would dissipate as Isobu seemingly regained power over what may have been his own fear, or was it Shen's radiating through their own link. |

"Where are you?"
Taigetsu crossed his arms, staring into the eye of Isobu. His face was set in a determined look, but Saiken could sense the rage boiling just beneath the surface of the Hozuki. Taigetsu... Saiken thought, not passing the word to either the Sanbi or his host.
The great slug looked towards Isobu and passed a surge of energy to him - enough to revitalize Shen and the Sanbi. Stay calm - do not let your captors know you've connected with us. Taigetsu, with the chakra I've passed to them we can track them if we know the general location.
Taigetsu looked to his bijû and nodded, giving him a thumbs up. "Ok!"

Shen - Isobu
The chakra gift immediately took affect Isobu seemed more at ease. Then after a moment Shen's eyes opened and he took a deep breath as though he had just reached the surface of water. Coughing uncontrollably Shen balanced himself on one hand, then slowly as he regained his composure Shen slowly stood up. Using his right hand to counterbalance himself against Isobu turtle like belly he slowly rose to his feet. He finally looked up and there a distance before him stood the Rokubi, Saiken was his name Shen slowly recalled and of course Taigetsu. Shen remembered Taigetsu, though he hadn't seen him in some time, actually the last time they had crossed paths was before Shen had become a jinchuriki several months ago. Walking slowly with one hand still against Isobu and the other holding his chest Shen slowly walked towards the gathering before him. "What...where am I?"Shen asked as he crossed to the front of Isobu his right hand resting gently against Isobu's lower jaw for balance. "Shen...you know...in this place...never mind..."Isobu spoke as he looked toward Shen with his eye, he didn't have the heart to tell the boy his wounds only held sway in this plane because he allowed them to. Yet that was something Shen would be taught in time, at least for now Isobu would not be the one to break the news to him. Isobu turned his gaze back to Saiken and his companion, Isobu realized in that moment that he wasn't sure if he knew the name of Raiken's host. Yet now did not seem the time to have introductions, he should at least answer their questions before asking questions. "We are heading to a separate island to be transferred from the man who took us to another, we are not currently sure what the individuals affiliation is but after my conversations with Shukaku many months ago. There may be chance that they are the enemies he had warned me of, the Bijūtsukai. Yet this land is rife with war and conflict it would make just as much sense that we have been abducted in order to prevent the assistance we would offer in battle against the villages enemies."Isobu pondered deeply for a moment assessing if there was anything else he could say to help them be located and brought back safely to the village. |

"Shen, we're on our way." Taigetsu said, aiming the comment to the now awake Jinchûriki. "Keep safe. Sanbi, if anything changes let us know." The connection between the two broke then, Taigetsu leaving the mental space and opening his eyes back in the real world. The Hozuki stood up, glancing around. There wasn't a whole lot of information to go off of - but he knew they were off the island.
They likely wouldn't have gone towards the Great Naruto bridge, so Taigetsu decided to head towards the edge of the island on the opposite side, at which point he'd wrap back around, searching the islands nearby. Taigetsu... When I sense Isobu, I'll let you know. Saiken said, focusing on seeking the chakra he'd given the bijû. "Hai." Taigetsu responded, but didn't move as he saw a messenger bird flitting towards him.
As the bird dropped down to Taigetsu's wrist, he pulled the missive off it's leg and opened it. Reading the paper, he discovered that it was a summons from the Mizukage. Clenching his teeth and fist, Taigetsu glanced towards the village. "Keep sensing for him, Saiken. Lets see what the Mizukage wants first..." As Saiken acknowledged the request, Taigetsu vanished from the spot he'd been on.
