"Shipwreck cove. The most violent and dangerous beach on the island where the tide is never settled for some unexplained reason. The Kage has forbidden ships from navigate these shores due to the constant, nonstop high tide and the dangerous see creatures that some how thrive in this harsh climate, are lurking below the waters, just waiting for some for its next target. However there are those brave few who don't listen and those brave few ended up dying a truly gruesome death. Too bad those poor sap didn't have me with them, I could have heal their sorry asses." Tsundere was standing on the shoreline a she punted a poor baby turtle into the dangerous waters, as the baby turtle landed in the water with a thud, a small shark rose from the oceans depths and ate the turtle whole before it disappear under the waves. Tsundere smiled as she took a sip from her lemonade bottle, the circle of life was an amazing thing to watch, always as fun as watching someone get birth. She just didn't knew which one was more gruesome to watch. Babies can be pretty nasty and ugly too but Tsundere never told the parents that, she didn't want to put them in the hospital after their fail attempts to hurt her but then again she could earn more ryo. No it was her duty as a medic to not harm the people under he care.

Shipwreck cove, the waves they produced , they were awe-inspiring perfectly unbridled and full of potentially dangerous hazards. The danger range between the waves that could give you whiplash to the large jagged rocks hidden beneath the constant swaying water surface: it would be so easy to be skewered by the unsuspecting rocks. Tsundere yawned at this supposed scary sight, she could smash any animal into the ground if need be and if SHE had her weapons, he healing skills will were nearly unmatched by others. Tsundere Xanadu was exploring the her new home, ocean country ever since she left her old home of the hidden storm village. So far she was bored. Did people even live here?

So far since she was here she has only meet one person and that was the Kage, Tsundere smirked, she had to set-up their date soon, she wanted to e the Kage's assistant but she wouldn't mind being the Kage's girlfriend either, he was a cutie, she did have a thing for younger people. Tsundere sighed as she walk up towards a large boulder and starting punching it, causing the boulder to shake with each strike she was making, soon cracks were forming in the boulder as it start to break apart. "Damn, there has to be something to do in this!" Tsundere lightly growled as she uppercut the boulder and sent a part of it flying in the air. "Need more things to smash but what? This beach is pretty empty." Tsundere frown as she took another sip from her lemonade bottle. "Will somebody get their asses down here! Already"

Shipwreck Cove; a place where most would consider swimming, diving, sailing, and any other water based activity tantamount to suicide, most. However, for a certain young Roth the cove that led many a sailor to their deaths was his favorite place to unwind and do a little shipwreck exploration. Outfitted with nothing more then a spring style wetsuit (Without the logos of course) and his tactical combat knife strapped to his left waist, leaving the rest of his gear buried on the beach, Thaddeus spent most of the morning and a little bit of the afternoon going from wreck to wreck dodging jagged rocks and hungry predators with relative ease. He even found a small undamaged lock box in the captains cabin of a more recent wreck, which held some promise. With lockbox under arm Thaddeus decided to return to shore, emerging from the wreck just in time to watch a small shark eat a baby turtle that just landed on the surface of the water whole before going back to scouring the area for more food. How the turtle got there he didn't have the faintest clue, but he didn't really think about it for long.

With one of his arms occupied Thaddeus decided to return to the surface of the water and 'surf' barefoot back to shore in order to make his return journey easier, which is when he noticed a woman in the distance that appeared to be punching a boulder, another curious sight. Sliding along with the waves Thaddeus continued to watch the woman, trying to remember if he had seen her somewhere before, but alas he didn't recognize her. Nevertheless he was fairly surprised when he noticed cracks forming in the boulder, even more so when she uppercutted it and sent a piece flying, whoever this woman was had a tremendous amount of strength. With a punch like that there was no way she was a normal person, and since pirates didn't dare come to shore in this cove that only left one option, she had to be a shinobi. But did she belong to Shippuugakure or another village? "Will somebody get their asses down here already!" He heard her yell after she took a sip from a bottle, there was certainly a hint of frustration in her voice, perhaps she was stricken with the curse of boredom.

"Ahoy!" Thaddeus shouted in response as he rode a wave to shore. "I can't say you're going to get much company on this beach, but occasionally you'll meet a few people. He said politely as he walked towards the mysterious woman, still holding the waterlogged lockbox under his left arm. She appeared to be in her late twenties, maybe early thirties, and for a moment he thought he saw some sort of purple orb behind her but he quickly dismissed the thought. Her appearance did remind him of something though. Supposedly there was a new Jounin that had joined their village from Boufuugakure, although all he knew about that was this Jounin was female and a skilled healer, perhaps this was her. "Thaddeus Roth." Thaddeus spoke in a friendly tone, extending his right hand to offer a handshake to the unknown woman, whether or not she would accept it he didn't know.

[Word Count: 537/537]

"Ahoy!" Tsundere turn her head towards the direction of a voice. A young man seem to shouted in response to her pray as he rode a wave to shore. It seem like he was quite skill at whatever he was doing, Tsundere though for a moment, they call that surfing right? Yeah Tsundere was sure that was the name of the activity. She overhead the Kage mentioning something about how people in this village made a board out of wood and use it to ride the waves. Maybe she should take up the sport and get more into the surfer mind set. Maybe that would help her adjust to her new life her, this village hasn't impressed Tsundere much. At least this place had handsome men here, yup there was eye-candy everywhere she look, The man who was approaching her was in his late teens, she was sure he had all the young woman or men jumping up at him., Tsundere would assume, despite the eye sore of the outfit he was wearing he didn't look to bad if only Tsundere was a younger maybe she would made a move on him but luckily for the young man, Tsundere had her eyes set on another man. She and Kage still had to work out the details of the date. "I must be one of the older ninja in the village. If Lust was here she would be calling me a cougar and whispering a whole bunch of naughty things in my head. How can a scythe be so perverted! It boggles the mind."

"I can't say you're going to get much company on this beach, but occasionally you'll meet a few people. The young man said politely as he walked towards Tsundere, still holding the waterlogged lockbox under his left arm. Tsundere would fold her arms across her chest and look at the guy like he was stupid. "You don't say? Thank you Captain Obvious for the highly educational statement. I mean I wouldn't have figure that out with your help! Thank you!" Tsundere roll her eyes as she sip some more lemonade from her bottle. "Thaddeus Roth."Tsundere heard the young man given his name to her. The young man spoke in a friendly tone, extending his right hand to offer a handshake to the Tsundere, it was clear that he was waiting for her to shake it. Tsundere look at the young man curiously, despite not being able to talk, her purple charka orb Cha was flashing a dark plum purple to get Tsundere's attention. Tsundere turn her head at the purple orb floating behind her and smirked. It seem as if the purple orb noticed the guy spotted it, how unusually. In a confident tone, Tsundere would begin to speak. "Well now, you don't see that everyday Cha. Your name is Thaddeus Roth right? The name is Tsundere Xanadu! The Legendary Healer of Shippuugakure and future assistant to the Umikage." Of course Tsundere didn't added in future girlfriend of the Umikage, they had to get past the first date before anything serious happens between them. Tsundere then would extend her left hand and shook hands with the man known as Thaddeus Roth, now when Tsundere shook his hand, Thaddeus would noticed that her grip stronger than most people he probably met, Tsundere was attempt to break his hand or at least try to but for now she would resist the urge and let go of his hand.

"So Captain Obvious. Since your such a genius in all things obvious. Tell me where is the best place around here to get a drink. I been drinking this sissy lemonade for awhile now. The hospital around here won't let me drink sake while I'm duty." Tsundere frowned she was sure she could perform surgery while drunk. She done it before in the hidden storm village but then again she got a pay cut that day. It was a terrible day for the hospital as Tsundere smash a glass bottle over the head of her boss. Even today he was still wearing a eye patch.

"You don't say? Thank you Captain Obvious for the highly educational statement. I mean I wouldn't have figure that out with your help! Thank you!" Ah, so much sarcasm, it was practically palpable. Thaddeus couldn't help but chuckle a little under his breath, although humor was soon replaced with curiosity as the woman turned to face something behind her, perhaps he didn't imagine a small floating purple orb. "Well now, you don't see that everyday Cha. Your name is Thaddeus Roth right? The name is Tsundere Xanadu! The Legendary Healer of Shippuugakure an the future assistant to the Umikage." Cha? Who's Cha? It was about then that he got another glimpse of purple light, was the orb Cha? What exactly was the orb? He'd have to ask her at some point in time. "That's certainly an impressive title Ms. Xanadu, and quite the mouthful." Thaddeus joked politely, he hadn't heard of a Tsundere Xanadu before, let alone a Legendary Healer of Shippuugakure. He had to assume she really was the Jounin that moved from Storm Country, however any thought on the subject was put on the back burner when he felt Tsundere's grip tighten to a point that would have probably crushed a normal person's hand.

It was a little painful but nothing he couldn't endure with a friendly smile on his face, but he knew she probably could have shattered his hand in an instant if she had the mind for it. "So Captain Obvious. Since you're such a genius in all things obvious. Tell me where is the best place around here to get a drink. I been drinking this sissy lemonade for awhile now. The hospital around here won't let me drink sake while I'm duty." A drink eh? For some reason Thaddeus wasn't surprised by this question, even if it was a little to ask someone on a mostly deserted beach. He thought about it for a moment, then decided to go along with the 'title' she gave him. "Well, Captain Obvious would say not to come to a partially quarantined cove in search of a drink, if you want to pay for the good stuff then you should visit Ao Phalanx harbor. Most places there don't even bother with the weak stuff, but since you're already here..." Thaddeus spoke in a mockingly matter of fact tone befitting of the sarcastic title Tsundere had given him, all while shifting the lockbox he was holding under his left arm a little forward so the lock itself was exposed, hopefully she could take a joke. He then grabbed his combat knife on his left abdomen, jammed it into the rusty lock, and forced it open.

"...lets test your luck." Thaddeus was sure his tone would probably irritate her, but perhaps the contents of the box now revealed to Tsundere would ease any aggravation. One aged bottle of rum still intact; two waterlogged but somewhat intact pornographic magazines; a parrot skull on a small plaque that said "R.I.P. Paco"; and a human eye suspended in a small glass jar. She probably wouldn't be interested in the rest of it, but there was the rum. Sadly there was nothing of value to Thaddeus since he didn't really care for alcohol, but there was always next time. "Well, I hope you like rum." Thaddeus grabbed the bottle from the open lockbox, inspecting it briefly before offering it to Tsundere. It looked like it was about forty years old, although he doubted it had been on the seafloor for more than a week. "If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is... Cha?" For lack of a better word Thaddeus decided to use the term Tsundere did when referring to the purple light that flashed behind her.

[Word Count: 625/1162]

Tsundere shrugged, her title wasn't that impressive yet. She still had to earned the title Legendary Healer of Shippuugakure. Besides some surgey at the local hopstail around here, her medical feats were quite unknown in the windy village. She did wonder why they didn't call the country, wind country instead of ocean country, sure there was sun and surf but the most noticeable thing in the country and its hidden village were the gal force winds and the never ending hurricanes. "That's certainly an impressive title Ms. Xanadu, and quite the mouthful." Thaddeus joked politely in his opinion, the funny guy, Mr. chuckles!. As for Tsundere's opinopn it was so go awful, one of the worse jokes she ever heard in her long(?) life. Tsundere thought about the proper way to responded, she could just go along with the joke and laughed it but that require her to lie and that wasn't in Tsundere nature when she not on a mission. "Captain Obvious I swear your one of the most un-funniest people I ever heard in my life and I have met myself, so pat yourself on back there my boy. Your joke was so bad that not even the crickets are chirping for you!" Tsundere then put a hand to her ear as she waited for crickets to chrip, after about a silent minute of waiting, Tsundere just held both of arms out and smirked. "See. You scare them away, thank you I'm not huge fan of insects myself. Kill one and ten more take their place. Annoying little things. But they do make a tasty treat."

"Well, Captain Obvious would say not to come to a partially quarantined cove in search of a drink, if you want to pay for the good stuff then you should visit Ao Phalanx harbor. Most places there don't even bother with the weak stuff, but since you're already here..."So Thaddeus spoke in a mockingly matter of fact tone befitting of the sarcastic title Tsundere had given him? Tsundere smirked even got wider, he didn't flich when she shook his hand and he was mocking her! This Thaddeus guy has guts talking to Tsundere like that and she like it. "You must be packing something huge under that eye-sore of an suit you have no, if your willing to talk to me like that. The last guy who talk to me like that got punch through a wall. Luckily for him I was young and weak back then. As for you Capta--no I think I call you Thad instead. You have balls and I respect that." Tsundere than laughed about paying for her drinks, sure she wasn't a beauty model and she knew that. She couldn't get free drinks with her looks but using physical violence work well. Violence solves a lot more problems than people think.


"...lets test your luck." Tsundere watch Thaddeus struggle somewhat to get the box open, Tsundere chuckle, she would have just smash the bo agasint a rock until it shatter open. Tsundere look inside the book and saw. One aged bottle of rum still intact; two waterlogged but somewhat intact pornographic magazines; a parrot skull on a small plaque that said "R.I.P. Paco"; and a human eye suspended in a small glass jar. "Well, I hope you like rum." Tsundere look at the bottle. It looked like it was about forty years old give or take a year. When Thad off her the bottle, Tsundere happily snatch the bottle from him, and putin her pant pocket for later, she would drink it later.  The other stuff in the box actually caught Tsundere attention. Especially the floating eye and the pron. She could use that for boring days at the workplace. "What are planning to do with the rest of the stuff. I take it off your hands it don't need it." Tsundere would be polite and ask first. Usually if see she something she wants she takes it.

"If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is... Cha?" Tsundere shrug, if he could see Cha, there was no point in trying to lied about it. "Cha is my charka orb, it contains all the charka I have. One of the reasons I learned Taijutsu. I have two other orbs that are my Xanadu equipment but they haven't arrived yet." As Tsundere finish speaking, her charka orb would simply appeared in front of Tsundere as it rose up and floated on the left side of Tsundere.

"Captain Obvious I swear you're one of the most un-funniest people I ever heard in my life and I have met myself, so pat yourself on back there my boy. Your joke was so bad that not even the crickets are chirping for you!" Tsundere certainly had an interesting sense of humor, far more blunt than most of the people he knew, it was a refreshing change of pace from the dry humorless lot of upper class society and the more perverse humor that accompanied quite a bit of his family and fellow sailors. "See. You scare them away, thank you I'm not huge fan of insects myself. Kill one and ten more take their place. Annoying little things. But they do make a tasty treat." Some people, or most for that matter, probably wouldn't "appreciate" this style of humor. Thaddeus was sure she'd gotten into plenty of bar fights in her time with it, he pitied the poor sods that raised their voice against Tsundere in her general vicinity. At least she was a healer, if she beat them to a bloody pulp she could put them back together, and probably do it over again a few times until she got bored.

"You must be packing something huge under that eye-sore of an suit you have no, if your willing to talk to me like that. The last guy who talk to me like that got punch through a wall. Luckily for him I was young and weak back then. As for you Capta--no I think I call you Thad instead. You have balls and I respect that." Maybe a change of pace from the perverse was assumed a little too soon, either way Thaddeus couldn't help but grin slightly and laugh a little under his breath while working on the lockbox. His boldness made a good impression, which is good because the other option was probably some form of violence and bodily injury not unlike the man she spoke of. Hell, it still might happen, the day was young. Violence wasn't exactly his first choice of action, well, apart from situations that justly called for it. Nevertheless he preferred a more verbal solution to situations such as bar room or back alley brawls, but that didn't mean he didn't understand just how useful violence could be, for some people how well you handle yourself in a fight determines how much respect you get from the opponent and the bystanders. Sailors and dockworkers led interesting social lives.

It seemed Tsundere had no qualms about aged rum from the bottom of the sea, she seemed quite happy to take it off of Thaddeus's hands and stick it in one of her pockets for later. Now the question was what would he do with the rest of the stuff in the box? He didn't care about the porn, although he was sure some of his cousins would probably "enjoy" themselves with the magazines, maybe he'd just dry them and use them for kindling. Someone might used the plaque that held the parrot skull for something else, but that didn't really have much value. Then there was the floating eye, did someone decide to keep their eye after injuring it beyond healing? Maybe it was a keepsake from some sort of battle. Either way he had no use for it. "What are planning to do with the rest of the stuff. I take it off your hands it don't need it." Thaddeus was a little surprised when Tsundere asked him for the rest of the stuff. Not about her being interested in it, she was quite tomboyish so porn and a potential prank item wouldn't be too 'far out' of an idea, but that she actually asked politely. She didn't seem like the sort that would do so unless they had to, and he sure as hell didn't outrank her in anyway. He guessed it was because of the little bit of boldness he showed earlier, either way it's not like he had any real reason to keep the stuff.

"Be my guest." He said nonchalantly, handing Tsundere the box of 'goodies' in the process before moving on to his question. "Cha is my chakra orb, it contains all the chakra I have. One of the reasons I learned Taijutsu. I have two other orbs that are my Xanadu equipment but they haven't arrived yet." Hmm, I see..." Thaddeus spoke in an understanding tone, somewhat lost in thought. All of a person's chakra within a single orb that manifested itself outside of the body? That was simply fascinating; and she said there were two more that were equipment of sorts that were related to her family, it must be a clan kekkei genkai of sorts like the Uchiha and the Sharingan or the Hozuki and Hydrofication. There were many questions he'd like to ask while he watched the purple orb of chakra float up and around to her left. How did she use chakra? What the chakra orb tangible? Was it something she was born with? Or perhaps learned to create later on? Did everyone in her family have one? What were these other orbs? The list goes on.

In the end he decided just to stick to something simple and not aggravate her with a barrage of questions. "Can Cha speak?" Thaddeus asked politely, although what he really wanted to ask was "Is Cha sentient?", but if that were the case it would probably come off a bit rude. He figured that if he asked if Cha could speak, or communicate in some form or another since it probably wouldn't be able to talk like a person, it might come off as a little more friendly towards it should it prove to be sentient. Of course if it wasn't sentient then Tsundere's response would probably be something along the lines of "What? Are you stupid?", although probably a little longer and with plenty of sarcastic remarks. One good thing about people like Tsundere is you usually know what to expect, there's no 'sugar coating' things like polite society, which in all honesty he liked.

[Word Count: 1023/2185]

"Be my guest." Thaddeus said nonchalantly, handing Tsundere the box of 'goodies' in the process before moving on to his question. Now of course this where most people would say 'thank you' and the other person would say 'your welcome'. But when Tsundere got the box, she examine the items more closely. First Tsundere pick up one of the pornographic magazines and quickly flip through the pages, it seem to be a swimsuit edition of Shippuugakure no Sato finest woman from an unknown XXX amount of time ago, the date of the pornographic magazines had been mysterious starched out with a black market of some type. Anyhow the theme of the pornographic magazine did fit the style and environment of this country; the majestic and tranquil sea, the bright and blazing sun, the free spirit and the deadly hurricanes that appear on a daily basis. Yes, the perfect environment for the young folk like Thaddeus.

Tsundere then put the porn material down as she pick up the plaque. Tsundere shrugged her shoulders as she toss the plaque behind her back, she did need that. For the parrot skull and the human eyeball in floating in the jar, use could use them for medical research or as a way to freak people out. Tsundere could set these things on her desk at the medical center with a sign that says: "Mess with the Tsundere and This is the Result." It was perfect in Tsundere mind. Tsundere drakly chuckled as she patted the box of goodies and nodded her head at Thaddeus. "Thanks Thad. For making the right choice in giving me these things. Your a genius after all." It was sort of a thank you from Tsundere, sure it could use work but it better than nothing.


Hmm, I see..." Thaddeus spoke in an understanding tone, But Tsundere had a feeling that he was mostly somewhat lost in thought. She was almost hundred percent sure that he could not understand everything about cha in her pervious statement, unless he was Xandau himself which Tsundere highly doubt. Maybe Thaddeus was a prodigy , a genius or how Tsundere would describe it best, one of those book smart people, the elite, the nerdy (if that terms even exists in the Naruto universe.) Thaddeus did look like one of those people who came from the high class society; the one percent; the wealthiest and highly influence people in a given area. Whatever the case Tsundere just cocked her head to the side and said. "Bit-ch Please..Of course you can see Cha you idiot. Even if I'm still confused on how. Your not a Xanadu, so that means you have experience with death, yes. That fancy blade you use to open this box, I sure it has more uses than a lock pick. Anyways, where was I. Oh yes I sure you have more questions about Cha right?" Tsundere's eyes than glance at his combat knife, she never seen anyone use such a blade like that before, did he made it himself? "Where did you get that blade from. In my thirty years of life I saw many sharp and pointy things, erh or more like treating the injuries from those types of weapons, but that blade you have there is something else. Does it have any medical uses?" Tsundere was curious about the combat knife, of course her weapon, Lust was way better but had, maybe Tsundere should keep a blade like Thaddeus on her, something her fists aren't enough.  

In the end it seem like Tsudere was right, it simple like Thaddeus did have more questions or more like a single question, Tsundere expect as much. As Thaddeus ask his question, Tsundere decided to read one of the porn magazines, this time it featured good old heterosexual male on female porn and strangely enough on of the guys in the read look like an older version of Thaddeus with blue hair. Tsundere smirked at the thought Thaddeus sleeping with a women, he look like one of those asexual people. Totally uninterested in the aspects of mature activities. Tsundere wouldn't blame him, most of her life was devoted to the medical field and work, even now she would be going on her first date, how sad for an thirty year old woman but then again she did scare away people with her 'charm' and was more of tomboy, she was more of man than men that try to date her. As for woman, they annoyed Tsundere with their lack of toughness and drive. Good lord, most of them were wimps, not even worth her time.

"Can Cha speak?" Thaddeus asked Tsundere politely. The guy had manners and Tsundere respected him for it even if she lack manners herself at times. Tsundere shrugged her shoulders as she turn the page in her porn. She would answered his question bluntly. "No. Cha just changes different shades of purple when  communicating with me. Any more questions Thad? I assume you have more, go ahead and ask them. You caught me in a good mood today, use it to your advantage. Plus you owe me two favors in returned for me answering your questions. Good Sir" Tsundere would continued reading the porn magazine, letting out an annoyed chuckle every now and then. The sexy doctor and patient theme, annoyed Tsundere a bit. She would never engaged in something like that and made sure he coworkers follow her example.

Yep, just as he thought, Tsundere had at least a mild interest in the pornographic magazines. I was somewhat funny watching a woman of her age and rank flip through a special "XXX" edition of a swimsuit magazine, but to each their own. She also kept the skull and the preserved eye as he expected, although for what exact reason he could only speculate. She was a doctor, they could serve as research items, then again she also seemed like the kind of person that might use them for less professional activities. Not that it really mattered to him. "Thanks Thad. For making the right choice in giving me these things. Your a genius after all." To be frank Thaddeus hardly expected a thank you at all, even if it was a bit insulting in it's own way. Either way he nodded politely in response as a sort of "you're welcome" before moving on to his question about Cha. "Bit-ch Please..Of course you can see Cha you idiot. Even if I'm still confused on how. You're not a Xanadu, so that means you have experience with death, yes. That fancy blade you use to open this box, I sure it has more uses than a lock pick. Anyways, where was I. Oh yes I sure you have more questions about Cha right?"

Experience with death eh? So that's how non Xanadu gain the ability to see this chakra orb. Thaddeus was certainly familiar with death, hell his first kill was around seven years ago while defending himself on the open sea alongside his mother, and ever since his first rapier broke his combat knife had served him faithfully. Thaddeus gazed briefly at his sheathed combat knife, remembering a few of the many times it pierced the vital organs of problem animals and people alike. "Where did you get that blade from. In my thirty years of life I saw many sharp and pointy things, erh or more like treating the injuries from those types of weapons, but that blade you have there is something else. Does it have any medical uses?" Tsundere's voice brought him back to reality, he might have been more surprised that she had never seen this type of weapon before but it wasn't very common in a land dominated by kunai, shuriken, and katana. "It's an oversea import actually, although I'm not sure where exactly it comes from." Thaddeus pulled his combat knife out of it's sheath once more, looking over it briefly before flipping it end to end, catching the tip between his index finger and thumb while offering the handle to Tsundere should she like to examine it.

"I suppose it could serve as an over sized scalpel or a sort of bone saw in the field for emergency situations, but I bought it to replace the kunai as my primary weapon. These things are practically sharpened spikes..." Thaddeus glanced down to the place where his kunai would be sheathed on his waist, only to notice he hadn't retrieved his buried gear yet. "... They're hardly good for anything other than stabbing, and their thickness really doesn't allow for surgical precision, whereas this knife can slip through the rib cage and back out with ease. Plus it's designed to cut, leaving deeper wounds compared to the kunai." While Thaddeus explained his choice of weapon he spoke in a relaxed and fairly nonchalant tone. He figured that if anyone wouldn't mind discussing killing efficiency it would be a Jounin whose clan had a floating chakra orb others could only see after having some sort of experience with death, and it's not like Thaddeus had any issue with the act of killing itself, he only cared about the motive.

However, he wasn't sure how Tsundere felt about it. She was a doctor after all, and most doctors didn't exactly support killing. Then again she was a shinobi, and a Jounin for that matter, she would more than likely know the necessity of killing. Once Tsundere was finished examining his blade, if she had done so to begin with, Thaddeus would return his combat knife to it's sheath and go back to questioning her about Cha; finding it kind of "funny" that Tsundere chose to read one of the porn magazines while she answered him. "No. Cha just changes different shades of purple when  communicating with me. Any more questions Thad? I assume you have more, go ahead and ask them. You caught me in a good mood today, use it to your advantage. Plus you owe me two favors in returned for me answering your questions. Good Sir" Thaddeus couldn't help but chuckly faintly under his breath at the mention of favors. She was holding his curiosity for ransom, it's a shame that he couldn't resist learning more about an oddity such as Cha.

"Where to start..." Thaddeus sighed lightly, mulling over what questions to ask first, at least her last answer sorted out whether or not it thought on it's own. "... Is a chakra orb something all Xanadu have or is it something only a select few have? Is your chakra pool readily accessible or do you have to spend time drawing from Cha? And why is it only visible to those outside of the clan after they've had some sort of experience with death?" That should do to start, he didn't really want to pile them on too many at a time. For the most part Thaddeus had his own theories to the questions he asked. Either it was something only a select few Xanadu had or something all Xanadu had but not commonly known due to a low clan population, which seemed like the likely answer to him since he hadn't heard the name before. Since the orb was a manifestation of the clan members entire chakra pool it was to be assumed that they would need to spend time channeling chakra from the orb to use jutsu, unless they had the ability to fuse with their chakra orb or something. In the end the only question that he truly didn't have a clue about was why it was so closely related to death.

Then it dawned on him, apart from his talk of weapons there was nothing on him that really said he was a shinobi, and he hadn't clarified anything verbally. It wouldn't be hard for someone to get the wrong impression of him, he could only figure that if she knew he was comfortable talking about death around someone he knew was unnaturally strong and a shinobi he was probably a shinobi himself. Nonetheless it would probably be best to clear the air should there be any misconceptions. "In case you're wondering no, I'm not some random psychotic serial killing surfer that spends his down time scavenging wrecks and making small talk on the beach. I'm a shinobi as well, Chuunin." Thaddeus joked, slightly. Depending on who you asked he was technically a serial killer, but every kill was for the benefit of Hurricane Country, the majority of which being problem pirates or criminals.

"It's an oversea import actually, although I'm not sure where exactly it comes from." Tsundere watch as Thaddeus pulled his combat knife out of its sheath once more, he was looking over it briefly before flipping it end to end, catching the tip between his index finger and thumb while offering the handle to Tsundere should she like to examine it. Tsundere nodded her head in thanks but decided against holding the blade, it she got too attached to it she might take it for herself. She was sure her new buddy wouldn't take to kindly to that. Plus she had her full with the porno magazine. Now sure some people might view of the idea of something like Tsundere reading strange for various reasons, but hey how many people can honesty say they haven't looked at porn before? Plus there are several benefits for reading mature content. The major and most well known reason people deal with porn is to make themselves feel good.

It allows one to explore their sexuality. it's really important to figure out your sexuality - to learn what you like, what you don't like, who you like, etc. And if one it too embarrassed or scares to experiment with other people. One can explore their sexuality in the privacy of their homes by viewing and/or reading porn. Next it allows one to explore their secret sexual fantasies. We all have them and a lot of us never express these fantasies because we feel too embarrassed.But with porn, it's easy to explore these fantasies because it's something you're doing in private. No one will judge you or know what you're doing. You don't need to hold back with porn. Tsundere snicker a bit, she was sure people like that had a strong right hand. Not as strong as her right hook but still it was something impressed, to some people at least. Finally it can tell and show someone new things. Of course, it's important to remember that porn isn't always the best representation of reality after all. But still, watching porn can teach someone new sex moves or positions that they never knew about before. There are more benefits but those are the important ones.


Yes Tsundere was hundred percent confident that Thaddeus had them too. Now that Tsundere thought about she really never thought about what would be some of her sexual fantasies. She was a career woman for sure and didn't have much free time to indulge in the pleasures of the flesh like others.

"I suppose it could serve as an over sized scalpel or a sort of bone saw in the field for emergency situations, but I bought it to replace the kunai as my primary weapon. These things are practically sharpened spikes..." Tsundere continue to her the blade with curiosity she agreed that the standard Kunai were pretty much useless. Tsundere thought back when it she use a Kunai, it was when she was in the academy so she was about ten years old back then. It been awhile since she handled some, even now she carried around a kunai that she haven't use since her academy days, she prefers using her fists, feet and/or her triple-bladed scythe Lust to deal out damage.

"... They're hardly good for anything other than stabbing, and their thickness really doesn't allow for surgical precision, whereas this knife can slip through the rib cage and back out with ease. Plus it's designed to cut, leaving deeper wounds compared to the kunai." Tsundere listen to Thaddeus explained his choice of weapon in a relaxed and fairly nonchalant tone. It seem like he had experience with these types of thing and it didn't affected him much. Or maybe he was comfortable with discussing the topic of efficient killing with Tsundere. She was an experienced Jonin after all combined with the fact the she works as a doctor, Tsundere saw death on near daily basis and Tsundere has done her fair share of killing too, sometimes she was left with no other choice, other times she let her anger or sadistic side get the best of her, or she under estimate her strength when performs certain moves and with certain patients she had merciful ended their lives if they simply lost the will to live or if there was no chance in saving them at all . Now does Tsundere ever enjoy taking life, to be frank it depends on the situation at hand. But generally she grow indifferent to it, she mainly hates people who killing for no 'good' reasons.

"Where to start..." Tsundere raised an eyebrow at an interesting photo in the swimsuit maganize before let out a low chuckle. Tsundere the close the magazine and put it back into the box, she could feel that she about to receive a barrage of questions. "... Is a chakra orb something all Xanadu have or is it something only a select few have? Is your chakra pool readily accessible or do you have to spend time drawing from Cha? And why is it only visible to those outside of the clan after they've had some sort of experience with death?" Tsundere didn't said anything at first as she thought back the questions she was ask, the second question Tsundere at first wasn't going to respond to but then she shrugged, if she answered it could give Thaddeus an advantage over her in combat if that day ever comes but then again Tsundere had an counter measure for the weakness of her. "Any member of the Xandau clan who has charka, has a charka orb. We are half-human and half phantom, for some reason that I can't explain caused our Chakra pools to be completely removed from our bodies and deposited in orb, like the my orb, Cha. It does take some time to drawing from Cha but more or less it depends on the rank of the Jutsu that involves charka. So currently I can't use any charka base moves at the moment but don't be fool, I can use Taijutsu. " Yes this why Tsundere learned Taijutsu, Taijutsu (usually) didn't require the use of charka so if opponent some how manage to keep her away from Cha, she wouldn't be defense. She also had Lust and Kindness too. "For your third question, I guess since it could be due to the history of our clan but I don't feel like giving you a history lesson." And quite shockingly, Tsundere answered all his questions in respectful and well-manner way. Maybe Kindness was rubbing off on her.    

"In case you're wondering no, I'm not some random psychotic serial killing surfer that spends his down time scavenging wrecks and making small talk on the beach. I'm a shinobi as well, Chuunin." Tsundere chuckle at his joke. He had a sense of humor. "So since you is learning so much about me, how about if you tell me about yourself Thad. Your remember your genin days when your sensei would make you introduced yourself and you had to them about your: likes, dislikes and reasons for becoming a ninja? Do that." Tsundere try to make the statement sound like a suggestion but in ended up sounded as a command.
