studying in the leaf village

"no, without that process they would age normally, if it will affect their powers, i have no idea"

well we dont have a willing subject to this unless ki or nina would go along which i doubt

"well you can try it with the skin, but i have no idea if it would work" he began walking towards the door "well other than that, there is not much more we can do here"

Kitaro shocked the skin and it stopped reanimating itself and within 1 minute it had died and stayed dead "well we know we shouldnt do that to living willows if we are peacful c ya kisho i look forward to working with you again and maybe coming to the village of the kimura's sometime" Kitaro called after Kisho

"i doubt you will get to see my village in the near future, we only let in outsiders if we have business with them" he left the room and closed the door behind him

Kisho have you heard of heaven summoning they are beasts with strange powers and abilities and so far im the only one who can get to them if you take me there ill let you study them but not the commander

"i'll pass, things not of this world don't quite interest me at the moment, i'll stick with earthly knowledge for now, i'll contact you if i change my mind"

we shall see

ki chuckled. "i changed the atomic structure of my skin when i pulled it off, and when you send a volt of lighting through, itll just redirect it. but who cares, eh? im just a gunea pig." ki has swallowed the ice cube and was now lounging on the sill.

no ki we are intrigued by you

"then i guess i should tell you that we are ot the only new speices of human."

go on does this have something to do with the ants and wolvves you talked about before

"yes, we are the woodpeckers. those who kill off the weaklings. there are two other clans."

interesting please continue

ki smiled. "and the wolves, who keep us in check. we only know that they are the complete oposite of us and 10x more powerful. thats all im alwoed to tell you."

a bird flew in and perched on kis head. "ah, there torisho is...i was wondering where you were." the bird replies. "in the tropics of course you insuffient, mind drained worm."

ki pulled torisho off his head. "this is one of my capsules. he is my wisdom capsule." ki chuckled airily.

"interesting but i need you to tell me more" Kitaro said as he fingered his sword

ki siled. "no amount of threatening is going to make me talk." ki absorbed his capsule. the look of his childish eyes turned hard as stone and his usually teasing smile turned to a frown.
