It had been a wonderful week in Sunagakure, and honestly, Tama had almost forgotten about actual responsibilities for the bliss that was being back home.
Things had changed. The city was buzzing with far more business and commerce than it had before, and there was a lively vibe to the old stones that hadn’t been there when last he visited; or perhaps, he just couldn’t enjoy it last time. Removing himself of a soul had been the best choice the Ryuu had made in awhile, the tale-tale call of the Solar Ancient blood in him all but mute now. Things like human appetite and thirst were slowly becoming normal again which allowed him to enjoy the new imports of food, liquor in a way that wasn’t co-dependent, and the flesh of his fellow man in a form he had forgotten was necessary.
In short, it felt good to be mostly human again.
Yet as fascinating as Suna had become once more, the Ryuu also eventually found his way to the seedy underbelly to check up on old contacts, disappointment that Shin had not taken the bait. It was a shame and a blessing all at once as one of his old friends down here had managed to make a good living for themselves after Toushin finally stopped controlling things. After that, it was on to the new Arboretum. It was there upon seeing all the rare herbs that were being cultivated did his avarice peak once more to say "hello", proper, and remind the scientist casually that there was money to be made. At the moment, the scientist didn't particularly need the money. The friend downstairs gave him a back pay for an investment the scientist had almost forgotten about, and it was a hefty sum - but it was no where near enough to fund his projects, just his lifestyle.
So, sure to his word, a letter arrived on Shin’s coffee table exactly around noon. Tama of course was nowhere to be found, simply a slight metallic taste in the air of electricity and wind born of a unique chakra coil was all that he had left to notate the fact he had even graced the Medical Chief’s office with his presence. Within the letter the spot requiring Tama’s signature was still blank, leaving the contract open to be touched on if Shin felt like it was needed but it was clear the old legend was hoping for his demands to be simply met.

I, Ryuu Tama, First of His Name, First of the Hybrid, and Chakra Specialist PhD, do hereby sign away a portion of my freedom to the whims of Sunagakure’s Omni-Prime Facility with the following caveats;
1: I will under no direction attempt to preform an operation, create a serum, or conduct any experimentation that can, or will in due course, bring about the destruction of Sunagakure, the Omni-Prime Facility, or any humanoids within either.
2: I retain my rights to formulate my own opinions, gather my own research, and be allowed to ignore all previous procedure in executing any task given to me by the Omni-Prime Facility.
3: I will be allowed to say “no”, three times a year, within a monthly basis. One “no” drops off every 3 months of the year. Should I be forced to say “no” three times within six months this contract and everything agreed upon within will be terminated. Exceptions will be made if any refusal goes against the first and fifth clauses within this contract.
4: I will not work Split Shifts. This is non-negotiable.
5: When working I demand to have a team of no less than three different specialists, a general surgeon, and four nurses willing to work like horses. This team is not here to help guide me to a medicinal conclusion, but to listen to my orders, to the letter, and execute them the moment I say so. I will take referrals from the acting Medical Sennin or Medical Chief in regards to this team without question.
6: Payment for my services are completed in two-step. Half at the start, half at the finish. Any assignment I am offered, be it curing a mysterious illness, return to life the recently deceased, or simply work a 12hr shift as the on floor doctor; upon failure I will forfeit the full cost back to the Omni-Prime Facility.
7: Upon initiation of this Contract a grant of 1.5 billion Yen will be paid to me to finish research and development of the following:
- Cure of Chakra Cancer: a detailed thesis on the reversal of cancer that has developed on the chakra coil using a mixture of common herbs engineered to heavily produce specific chemicals. This research is already done and only needs to be submitted for study.
- Soldier Pill #1987: a medicinal battlefield aid that has been re-engineered to produce a mass of calories that the pill’s effects can consume in place of the shinobi’s own calories to reduce the detrimental side-effects to moot. Potentially addictive properties that reside in the current Soldier Pill batch, #877, have been completely removed. Current side-effects include drowsiness and mild cognitive disorder. Funds with grant will be used to remove these side-effects completely into batch #1988.
- Rosphocillina (azuroaxime) - An antibiotic created using special compounds found within cacti grown under certain mountain conditions, molds gathered from remnants of sand worm tunnels, and the rare flower genus azure Rosaceae. The mixture has placed into studies involving local bacterial diseases that produce deadly fevers, paralysis, respiratory difficulty, and circulatory damage. The drug has thus far shown to not only alleveate the symptoms caused by these bacteria, but in some cases even reversed the damage done. Funds with grant will be used to find the missing link between humanoids that are effected by this drug and how to ensure that it reverses bacterial damage for any consumer.
8: The terms within this contract are good for the next ten years, at which the contract will end unless it is renewed, (excluding clause 7 unless three new projects worth are pushed forward, and with following amount of future grants being entirely negotiable). This contract can only be ended by the following methods:
- A direct attack on Ryuu Tama’s life or loved ones by Sunagakure or the Omni-Prime Facility. Direct attacks include: Fraud, Physical Violence, and Mental Trauma.
- The current Medical Sennin declares the contract void before an audience of the Medical Chief, and at least five other doctors.
- The Kazekage declares the contract void at any time with or without witness.
- Violation of Clauses 1, 2, 4, and 6.
If all terms are within acceptable parameters then the parties will sign their names below in ink infused with their own chakra so that their identies remain clear to all who read this contract in future refrence to the duites of Ryuu Tama.
