The body was wrapped in old linen, the dust was falling from it with every step taken, it was hard to decipher for unbeknownst individuals if it was simply a wooden pillar, or a wrapped up corpse. Thankfully no questions was asked when he told to whom the object was to be delivered to. And none asked as he made his way to the Aesculapium. And thankfully, the pathway to where he was set to meet his sensei with the body not many souls were residing. His pathway was easy and undisturbed. Now came the trial of the results. Only he and Kushin knew fully what the reasoning was for the existence of this body in Kumogakure, and even fewer why Keij returned to the village alone, however, it would not be surprising that this would be a question asked to him sooner or later. By his sensei or others.
With the body still tightly bound to his shoulders he walked up to the information desk. "Hey, Kumitso-san, could you inform Kushin that I have arrived and tell him I'll be in the operating theater." "Right away Keiji-kun." She hastily replied with a fake smile. Quickly she pushed a small button on her earpiece and spoke silently to it. "He should be informed any second now." Keiji nodded in reply and made his way to the operating theater.
With a gulp, and a deep breath, he walked in and slowly pulled the body off his shoulders and placed it carefully on the operating table.
And then he waited.
His sensei seemed eager to experiment and discover the reasons for all the legends and myths surrounding this boys' life. Apparently his abilities were undiscovered and unrecorded. But this discovery would be solely tied to Kushin's abilities and skills in carving old and dead tissue.
But somehow underneath the linen wraps the body seemed not more than a few weeks old, even though it had been decades since his untimely death. The methods employed by the monks and priests in the shrine needed to also be studied, which naturally would also be something on his priority.
He waited patiently.
