This is not an event but for those genin & chuunin whom would partake this is a mission. The breakdown will be posted in sand requests soon.
Nestled along the dunes near the oasis is the dojo an ancient stone building a former coliseum converted by Toraono Kaibudo and his wife Queen Nobuku Azame into a special domed dojo; a place of perpetual learning for the martial arts, and combat at its finest. One side was dedicated to weapons more specifically the sword but weapons the other side of the house was dedicated to unarmed combat. A finesse and power that was understandably overwhelming and set for bloodletting. The stone pillars upholding the building were set with skill, chakra, and care to promote maximum stability throughout the entire structure. The dome was added to promote an atmosphere and provide air conditioning in a round-about way through specially placed vents. The floors of special marble in some areas were be-speckled and set apart by floors coated with special disinfected sand that wouldn't infect a bloodied warrior. Weapons racks lined the walls of the second area with meticulous care in stands. On the northern side of the dojo were padded wraps and leggings, for martial arts training. The Toraono Clan Dojo once sat at just over thirty feet in height with an additional ten feet higher in dome. The steps leading up to the main antechamber were an odd sand red marble, brown marble stained by bloodied sand. Six chambers were divided in shapes necessary to provide optimum training in various forms of combat. Two more additions had been made due to the children of the Toraono clan actually becoming full-fledged ninja were dedicated to ninjutsu and genjutsu. The ninjutsu chamber was in an underground cavern while the genjutsu chamber was in a calm hand dug bath chamber irrigated ever so slightly by the Oasis itself and heated by the sun.
The entire east wing of the Dojo and a portion of the coliseum itself were restructured from a small mountain. The massive amounts of Earth chakra released by its formation helped to significantly repair the master seal pervaded the underbelly of the dojo. The resulting work had caused many once sealed underground chambers to open and with the newly forged mountains the Toraono Dojo now had a natural barrier to prevent further access to Sunagakure from the west and it also provided a new area to train for future students. Over two hundred chambers existed in the Toraono dojo and the general public only had access to fifty percent of that. The remaining rooms were specially sealed chambers for specific clan members affiliated with the dojo and their blood relatives. These chambers were built and sealed so that only they or a Toraono Clan master could enter. It was in a sacred chamber pervaded by specially routed leylines, seals, and elemental crystals, and ancient Toraono lore depicted in special chakra activated murals that Toraono Kuro was set to form his life bond with Yamazaki Suzuhime. They had bonded rather quickly but such was the prophecy that foretold the reincarnation of Amaterasu would recreate her bond with her guardian Hyakujuuonouu. Theirs was a tale of power, love, greed, betrayal, forgiveness, and undying loyalty. For even in death Hyakujuuonouu had remained faithful to his Queen from the heavens.
The chamber was sealed so that only members of the Yamazaki Clan or accepted members of the Toraono Clan like the direct descendants of the Stewards from the Takahashi Clan which were accepted into the clan by both matriarch and patriarch. The chamber itself was massive in both scale and design. From its center to the main mural on its northern wall it was exactly sixty feet. To the eastern and western walls from its center was exactly thirty feet and the distance to its rear wall from the center was another sixty feet. From the floor to the ceiling the chamber was thirty six feet in height. Two twin pillars supported both the east and west walls in especially harmonious religiously sculpted elemental crystal laced and embedded black marble. One set twin white pillars supported the north and south walls in their center-points. An elemental crystal laced/embedded mirror marble formation that created a six point star stretched across the ceiling connecting all six points from the pillars giving the room a very archaic and mystic ambiance. Violet rose petals had been specially layered for the bride to approach the center chamber upon. The family and guests would be seated upon ceremonial pillows with their names and positions along with special gifts from the couple to be wed near the Southern wall so that the entire ceremony could be observed safely from afar. Kuro had even dared to take his Mother’s advice and complete her tasks to become a Prince in the Nobuku clan while retaining the Toraono Clan name. Kuro was now a Prince of Steel country and subject to their needs as well but along with this responsibility Kuro and his wife could wed with Azame’s rite of passage completed, as her future daughter had proven herself worthy of Azame’s last born son.
Toraono Kuro sat in a meditative position while incense burned at all six points of the chamber. He channeled a great deal of his and Hyakujuuonouu’s energy into the seal to release the scroll containing Hyakujuuonouu’s Yang life force. This vast reservoir of dark eternally hungry energy had been sealed away from Kuro when he was but a baby lest he become a monster instead of a well-balanced demonic guardian. It was the destiny of Amaterasu’s reincarnation to harbor this huge dark power and as such Kuro had to choose a wife that was stronger than him in a manner that was easily proven. Physically there were few women that could ever be his match, but mentally and by blessed blood and lineage a woman had been placed in his life that could fulfill not only the ancient prophecy but bring about a happiness that even Kuro had never encountered before; except from his immediate family and closest kin but this love was five steps beyond that. All the preparations were complete as Prince Toraono Kuro prepared for the future with his beloved and destined Suzuhime.
