The First Customer

Tenshi was seated in his chair behind the counter of his new store, TenSeals, as he awaited the arrival of his first customer. The young Yukio Senju had contacted him regarding his most valuable service, the Curse Mark that Tenshi had spent countless hours learning how to use. It was not an easy Jutsu to learn, let alone perform, but there was no risk for Tenshi himself in the process. The real risk was on those who received it. Should the subject not be up to the task at hand, their life was at grave risk, something that he would make abundantly clear to Yukio and anyone in the future who would request his services.

As he awaited Yukio's arrival, Tenshi created two Shadow Clones, and the three versions of Tenshi sat completely still as they began to all draw in Nature Energy in preparation for the Jutsu. All three of them had their Three Tomoe Sharingans activated as they did so.

3 Nature Stacks gained (split between Tenshi and his Clones)

Yukio approached the shop, which seemed to be nearly brand new. When he heard that a Fuuinjutsu shop was opening run by a member of the esteemed Uchiha clan, he definitely wanted to check it out. When rumors began spreading that the proprietor, one Tenshi Uchiha, also knew a Curse Mark seal that could provide the wielder with many powerful benefits, Yukio felt he needed to investigate. Thus he spoke with Tenshi, learning about the Curse Mark and what it entailed, and what sacrifice it could cost him.

'We live in a dangerous world, and power does not come without risk. I will be fine, and this will be another step on my climb towards the summit.' Yukio thought in contemplation as he stood before the door to TenSeals. Inhaling and slowly exhaling, he entered the building, greeted by the site of three identical men seated on the ground, meditating. This was Tenshi, apparently in preparation for the procedure. Yukio stood silently, waiting for him to finish and address him, as the opening and closing of the shop door would certainly have alerted him to his presence.

Tenshi and his clones opened their eyes as Yukio entered the store, the young Senju appeared to be quite polite, waiting for Tenshi to finish his meditation. After a short while, Tenshi and his clones were done, having collected a sufficient amount of Nature Energy. Dispelling his clones, Tenshi would stand up and speak, "You must be Yukio, it is a pleasure to meet you at last. My name is Tenshi Uchiha, welcome to TenSeals." He would walk around his desk and approach Yukio, extending a hand to shake.

"As I am sure you must be quite busy, I will cut right to the chase. You are aware of the dangers of this process yes? Should your body not be up to the task, your life may be forfeit. This is sadly a condition of the Jutsu in question and I want to make sure that you are absolutely aware of the risks." If Yukio accepted this, Tenshi would lead him back to his desk at the far end of the room, where a contract was placed, awaiting the customer's signature.

"The terms of our transaction are listed here, you may of course read it all again to make sure you completely understand, but I will go over it now regardless. The primary terms are as follows: The monetary price will be set at 30,000 Ryo. Along with this, you shall owe me one favour of my choosing in the future. I may call upon you at any moment for this favour and it may be for anything at all. I will of course, be reasonable, but please understand that I would normally charge a person far more than 30,000 Ryo for this normally, so the favour may be considerable."

Once Yukio had sufficiently read these terms, Tenshi would pull out a second form that was underneath the initial contract. "This is a waiver that every one of my customers for this Mark are required to sign. Due to the risk of your life, I will require you to sign this waiver which states that, should your life come to an end due to this Jutsu, you willingly sign over your body and all bodily possessions to me." Tenshi would then wait for Yukio to ask any questions that he had. Following this, he would wait for Yukio to sign both forms and pay him the 30,000 Ryo.

Once the forms were signed and the Ryo paid, Tenshi would lead Yukio to a comfortable looking couch on the eastern side of the store, requesting that he laid down on it before he activated his Pure Sage Mode, increasing his Vigor and Strength by 90 each. He would then cast Fuuinjutsu Amplifier at A-Rank, which would increase the Power of his next Jutsu by 50.

Tenshi would then perform the Seal of the Tiger, before placing his right palm on Yukio's chest, right above the young Senju's heart. He would then cast Orochimaru's Juinjutsu with a Power of 250. Should Yukio survive the process, he would have a Mark almost identical to Tenshi's Mangekyo Sharingan placed directly above his heart, with a size of 2 inches.

Requesting a D6 Dice roll following the rules of Orochimaru's Juinjutsu once Yukio has paid the 30k Ryo, signed BOTH forms and has consented to the process.

Yukio smiled as Tenshi introduced himself. He listened intently as Tenshi went over all of the details involving the Curse Mark seal and the procedure. A risk of death, a considerable amount of Ryo, a favor to be owed to Tenshi, and forfeiture of his body should he pass during the process. Yukio nodded, sure of his decision.

"I agree to the conditions as you've laid them out, Tenshi-san." Yukio signed and dated the waivers, ensuring everything would turn out as Tenshi had explained, and he also handed over 30,000 Ryo to him. That finished, Tenshi led him to a couch, where he laid down. Tenshi began the procedure, producing an awe inspiring amount of chakra, and Yukio closed his eyes. He said a silent prayer in hopes that whatever entity was up above would look down on him with favor.

Best roll, Yukio Senju survives application. Thread may proceed.

With a sigh of relief, Tenshi gave a slight smile as the risky technique was completed successfully. Yukio Senju, his first customer, had survived. He shuddered to imagine how his business would have suffered had the boy left his establishment as a corpse, let alone how the others in the village would have looked at him afterwards. But that did not matter, everything was fine now.

Standing up, Tenshi would allow the unconscious Senju to remain on the couch as he went back to his desk. He pulled out his ledger and began filling the financial details of the transaction as he continued to go about his day. He would only pause when Yukio finally awoke to bid him farewell, before closing the store at the end of the day.

Yukio had been made aware of all of the dangers and pain this procedure would entail, Tenshi was exacting in the information he provided. As the seal was applied overtop his heart, no amount of preparation could have made Yukio ready for the pain that assaulted him. Fire erupted within his chest, and he briefly convulsed with involuntary muscle spasms. He grit his teeth in effort to resist crying out, because he was certain if he started screaming, he would not be able to stop. The fire began to spread through his chakra network, slowly burning throughout his entire body. Tears leaked through his shut eyes as the worst pain he had ever experienced threatened to steal his consciousness, perhaps even his very life. As the pain reached his whole body and Yukio began to think he was going to die, suddenly it disappeared. The sudden cessation of it was like jumping into an ice bath, Yukio’s eyes shot open and he let out an audible gasp. He blinked, his eyelids sore from the stress of squeezing his eyes shut, and looked around at the store in a slightly confused haze. Looking at Tenshi, Yukio could see some apprehension and worry leave his face, and it became apparent to the Senju boy he had survived the process.

He craned his neck and head down to look at the seal, a two inch tattoo which looked like a circle with strange markings surrounding it in a triangular and symmetrical pattern. Yukio glanced at Tenshi, whose eyes held the three tomoe Sharingan, and for a brief moment he saw a similarity between those eyes and his seal, but then it was gone. He rose into a sitting position on the couch, buttoning his shirt again. He stood and bowed deeply at the waist to Tenshi.

”Thank you, Tenshi-san. You have aided me greatly. Whenever you need assistance, do not hesitate to call on me.” With that, Yukio gathered himself and exited the premises.

He had a Curse Mark to experiment with.
