New pieces of the Pot

Keitaro and Kenjiro were amazed to find that the old beggar had turned into a handsome young man. They felt their throats rise and their hands tremble. They weren't sure what was happening, but they knew they were in danger. "What the hell is that?" asked Kenjiro, who was controlling their shared body. "Who are you and what do you want?" .

The brothers watched every move of Kakushin, who stood before them in his full strength and power. They kept to themselves, wondering what would happen next. They listened intently to what the man who introduced himself to them as Kakushin, a member of the Senju clan, had to say. They learned of his Wood Release ability, which was rare and powerful. No one told them, but they suspected it. They knew that wood release was a kekkei genkai possessed by Hashirama Senju, the founder of Konoha and the first Hokage. They knew that Hashirama was a powerful shinobi who was known as the Shinobi God. They knew that Hashirama was able to create incredibly powerful medical ninjutsu and use chakra as fuel for the plants he created. They knew that Hashirama was able to create huge statues out of wood that could knock down entire mountains. They knew that Hashirama was able to control, suppress, or absorb the chakra of his targets, even the chakra of tail demons. They were certain that Kakushin definitely didn't possess such power, but they still considered the Senju clan member incredibly dangerous due to his reputation. Perhaps they had more respect for him because of his blood than was necessary.

[Brother B] They wondered what Kakushin was demanding of Keitaro and Kenjira. He saw that they were special, just like him and his brother. They were brothers who had the unusual gift of sharing one body. Were they demons, or were they humans born with that trait? What about Akame, who was standing next to them? Was he also a traveler and a merchant, or did he have a secret? They waited and let the whole offer be explained. Kakushin offered them to join him. He offered them cooperation, alliance and the possibility of traveling together. It was a tempting offer that could change their lives. But it was also a suspicious offer that could be hiding a ruse. Why would Kakushin want them to join him?  Keitaro and Kenjiro smiled at Kakushin as he offered them to join him. It seemed like a good opportunity for them to gain new allies and maybe something more. They knew that the Senju was a powerful clan that had influence and respect throughout the world. Quite possibly they could get enough Ryo for his head to buy anything they wanted and not have to just survive anymore. "Thank you Kakushin," said Kenjiro who was in control of their shared body.

 Kakushin offered Keitaro and Kenjiro to join him. It was an interesting proposal, which they considered and decided to join. They didn't know how powerful or weak Kakashin was, but he could probably control wood release and that was not something to be messed with unnecessarily. All the members of the Senju clan had a reputation for being dangerous and strong shinobi. It's just convenient to be on his side. Maybe they could get a decent reward for his head, but they don't know his strength at the moment, so they decided not to risk it. Besides, he obviously had strong friends and you could feel the strong chakra from the can with the weird eyes that left a while ago. Neither of the brothers understood that they wouldn't stand a chance against him in their current states. Therefore, joining his group could potentially be more advantageous than the unknown number of ryo they would get if they risked a confrontation now. "Then let us join you, but we have some things to do. I'll see you soon,"  he said in a calm voice as he walked slowly away from the building. They didn't want to stay overnight in this place. They had no idea what might await them, so they decided to find a place where they would be truly alone.

With his transformation, the others were impressed or suprised, the reaction ranging from finding the true form of Kakushin handsome, to Akaime being not impressed anymore, all the way to suprise and shock from the twins. The tall senju dressed himself back from his transformation, and looked right into the eyes of the tall man, as well as the twins. If they would follow him and Akaime inside the warehouse to show their trust in the fabricated senju, they would see the true testimony of the large Kintsugi family. 

Indeed inside the warehouse abandonned in the middle of the woods was large wooden ornate caravans, with wooden horses alive and carrying them, tied by harnesses like regular horses, but way larger in size. The caravans themselves were so big that they were like small houses on weels, able to form a litteral forteress splited in segments. 

As the twins left and only the tall muscular man followed inside to eat with them all, Kakushin presented the rest of the group.

''So here we are. Now I seem to recall that before we accept you, and welcome you into our family, that you present yourself, and explain where you come from, and how you will help us, as we will help you too.'' Said the green eyed man, his tone serious and commanding. All of the rest of Kintsugi would stand there, ready to act should the man refuse to cooperate. But on the other end, if he would cooperate and present himself and follow with more answers, Kakushin himself would embrace him, hold him in his arms, and welcome im to join by the fire, enjoy the food, and share in faith of their futures and into the family of Kintsugi and its leader.

Yama was interested in this group. He wasn't entirely sure just what this group did, and what exactly their mission was. But he figured that it would be nice to have a group around him and not against his existence. So he would explain himself thusly, "My name is Yama Kokoro. I am a simple man who plays the violin from time to time who has wandered the streets for a few years now. The means that I can provide aid to the group is with my sheer strength and ability to cause pain to those that ask for it. I'm not sure what it is that I am truly needing, really just a good group of people to surround myself with would be greatly appreciated, honestly. So if that is something you'd be willing to provide, then huzzah! I shall enjoy the company."

He would cease his explanation and the group would all begin eating their food together and drinking the night away, but his mind would be stuck on the man that had been here once before, the man that was protecting the leader of this group. His visage was that of a striking god that simply tore his way into Yama's heart. HE would think of him fondly as he would sleep through that night.

With a quick answer, Yama presented himself to the leader of Kintsugi, to which Kakushin simply smiled in a trusting and welcoming way, hugging the mountain of a man, and listenning to what he had to offer. The Senju was really glad of this man, who was active, strong and determined. He would be a perfect asset, a son he which he had sooner. After having listened to the saying of the man, Kakushin took a simple pause and answered back.

''Then we humbly welcome you my beloved. Your strong arms will be put to good use, the survival of us all. And how it please me to see an artist after my own heart! Wonderful. If all you need is a group of loving individuals to look after you, then I will gladly vow to treat you like my own son. '' said Kakushin, his deep and conforting voice calming and soothing, as he simply radiated love and acceptance toward Yama.

As they ate all together and included a new member of the family, the fabricated Senju simply was happy, and satisfied, enjoying every minute of this existance he was granted.
