Research and Subjects [Invite]

Zanji sat huddled in a corner of a dark alley. His knees positioned in front of him and his head held down low. His arms were wrapped around his knees as he sat in the cold dark alley. He kept his cloak wrapped around him and yet he still shivered slightly as he rested his spine against the brick. He stood still and listened to his surroundings hearing people talk and the occasional drop of water hitting the ground. To the casual observer he appeared to be nothing more than a average down on his luck person. His face was obscured beneath his hood as he kept drawn over his head.

His delicate features hidden beneath the shadow of his hood revealing that he was actually very clean shaven and not dirty at all. Right now he would play the part of a bum in hopes of some poor misguided fools attempt to rob him of any valuables he might have left. He was on the hunt right now for some test subjects of his own. He needed to get some as soon as possible if he even wanted to think about continuing his research on blood line limit transference. Yet he was still lacking some equipment but it was always good to plan ahead one can never have enough test subjects.

Zanji sighed as shifted his weight to his knees and slowly picked himself up. His knees cracked slightly as the cartilage popped as he let out a low audible groan of discomfort. He had been sitting there in that spot for quite a few hours and he was about ready to finally make a move. Maybe find a new spot and find some willing targets. He began walking towards the south side exit making his way through the crowds. He would love to just take someone from the crowd but no there are way to many witnesses. No he needed to be patient if he wanted to get a subject for his little experiments.

He wandered into a alley his foot steps masked by the loudness of the crowd nearby. He remained silent as he walked alone contemplating possible formulas inside his head each one as non successful as the other. His fist tightened in agitation as each one failed there were so many variables to take into account for transmitting kekkai genkai into a person with them actually fully surviving. It was maddening all his thought dwelt on this process he should never of killed the surviving test subjects but it was his mistake and he would bear it. He then saw a familiar sight a green cloaked person with a seemingly similar outfit. It couldn't be the asshole that he met at the pub a few days ago.

He narrowed his eyes as he saw that in fact it wasn't and let out a sigh of relief. It was a women that just dressed similar to the rude male he had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting. He dug into the inside of his cloak and fished out a small stack of folded papers and began to unfold them. Perhaps if he went over his notes he would find a key to recreating his success or perhaps find a better way. He shuffled through his papers as he walked along the alley. he was about half way to the women when a light gust blew the rough the alley and a few of his paper went flying. His eyes widened in horror as he watched the paper was carried by the current of wind.

If that paper was lost his research would be ruined.He quickly ran after it and made a few attempts to grab it but each time the paper danced away from his finger tips. He watched as the paper began to fall gently down and land neatly in between the green cloaked women's book. the paper contained formulas on genetic re-sequencing of a persons DNA. he prayed she wouldn't know what it meant a, he smiled kindly underneath his cloak as he walked towards her. "I'm sorry miss that belongs to me may i have that piece of paper back?"

Zanji stared at the women his hood obscuring the top portion of his face. His eyes narrowed in distaste at her as she correctly deduced what the formulas on the paper were about. He opened and closed his fist in irritation cracking the cartilage in his fingers his eyes never wavering as he continued to stare down the women. She was smart very smart only a medic could see those notes and decipher them so quickly. Soon his kind expression changed to one of a sarcastic smile. He licked his bottom lip and let out a sigh and spoke in a calm tone. "A very astute observation my dear why its quite simple really this man wishes to remain anonymous and not bothered by people."

He smirked as he slowly brought his hands to his hood and slowly drew it back. His face revealed now completely to the women displaying all his wonderful features. "That paper is part of my research I have been conducting for the past few years, A women of great intelligence such as yourself can relate to wanting to keep ones research intact am I correct?" He parted his long crimson hair to the sides and shook his head once and let his hair settle. He wagged his finger in disappointment as she questioned him about why he was there. He clicked his tongue on the roof of his mouth as he wagged his finger. " I'm here of my own accord and i choose where i come and go as I please."

He smirked and soon his smirk turned into a glare of anger. She dared to burn his precious note of his research. His fists tightened in anger and the he slowly released them. "I'll oblige you my name is Zanji,and I'm just a simple traveling doctor going from village to village curing the sick." He took a step forward and his face shone through the lighting of the ally. His eyes narrowed focused on the women's face and her movements. "Now if you please my paper I'll be its  taking that back now." His tone changed quickly from calm to a more  calm but with a hint  of threat in the tone "If you destroy that paper their will be repercussions I assure you."

Zanji slowly pulled his hood back over his face as he awaited to hear the women's response. He watched her gaze turn to a more neutral sort. Good she was starting to believe him a little bit. He Grabbed his paper gently and gratefully as he placed it back in the stack of papers. He quickly folded the papers into a small square and returned them to the inside of his cloak pocket. He was not going to lose another one he would have to go over his notes another time perhaps somewhere with less wind. Perhaps he would return to the hospital he found where he met up with Zaizen and go over his notes again.

He sighed as he leaned up against the alley wall taking a few steps back and resting, his head and spinal cord on the cold bricks. He quirked a eye brow in a somewhat interested manner as she told him that she was also a former traveling doctor. He smiled a little as he propped his right leg against the wall and crossed his arms in front of his chest. His eye brows raised in interest as she introduced her self openly to him. He had heard a few rumors about the doctor of the shadows. He smiled in honest excitement at the chance encounter of this women. It was a chance meeting of a life time and he would take advantage of it. He nodded his head and placed his hands and gave a quick bow to her "It's a pleasure to meet you Doctor Mizuki."

He quickly raised himself from the bow and returned to leaning against the wall. He flashed another smile at her as she pointed out if he were that good why was he in this crappy ass town. well that's what he heard her say at least in his mind. "Oh I happened to be just passing through and thought id indulge myself in a little recreation after all it is good to take a small break from your work once in a while helps put new perspectives in place. In my opinion at least and a refreshed mind is a productive mind." He quirked his head to each side to keep watch of anyone else but it was all quiet for the moment. "But between you and me I would rather be working in my lab right now hehe." He chuckled at this notion and then eyed her clothing for a moment "You know your the second person iv meat that wears almost that same exact outfit, I am curious though Doctor mizuki would you be interested in a medical challenges?"

Zanji smirked as he continued leaning casually against the wall. His mind racing with thoughts of different outcomes of what could possibly happen. each one of them reaching a positive end or a negative one. He so hoped the good doctor would help him out after all it was a chance of a life time. To be able to work on cross genetic splicing of kekkai genkai was unheard of in this day. He was so very proud of his research but more than anything he was very protective of it. He would kill anyone that would possibly dare to hinder his research should they get in his way.

He smirked cheerfully at Mizukis comment about how research was always a good topic. She was of a similar mind it seemed perhaps he found someone like minded in the world after all. Perhaps he shall team up with her should she like his proposal. He cracked his neck to the side and let out a small yawn as he covered his mouth quickly to cover u the yawn. he did not wish to be rude to the young lady after all. He rubbed his chin quizzically on how best he should approach this matter. Some would call his research mad and inhuman others might call it genius. Depending on her answer he would react either be combative or non combative.

He rubbed his right and and let out a sigh as he watched her walk down the alley way slowly. He slowly walked after her intrigued by what her response might become. "Yes my lab lets just say had a little mishap with some ignorant fools who didn't approve of my er uh methods of production." he let out a low chuckle as he remember blissfully about how he obtained his sample from his little lab rats. Oh the screams of his patients were like a madman's melody inside his brain as he lowered his voice so that only she would be able to hear him. "How would you like to embark on a experiment never before seen the likes of which no one has ever seen. My research is about kekkai genkai implantation into shinobi with out a kekkai genkai I have had some most promising results but before I could continue I was... interrupted by some people. Think of the knowledge we could gain from this unlocking a kekkai genkai from a specific clan into a normal shinobi a country military strength would double. Have I caught your interest yet Dr Mizuki? This is a once in a life time opportunity to be apart of a world changing knowlege."
