Takeshi..

Shadow would walk into the church and sit down in the first row. Waiting for the Holy Order to show up, Shadow would close his eyes and bow his head. It seemed he was praying.

Takeshi walked up and looked at the person praying. He was about to tap the collection plate, but he stopped and asked " What's a ex-kage doing here? And you reek of death."

Shadow would look up and turn around to see Takeshi.

"..hello Takeshi...i heard you need people to help fight against the espada...is this true..?"

Shadow would stand up and walk up to Takeshi.

Takeshi smirked and replied "Yea I do, so if you have some people in mind tell me."
As he finished, Takeshi put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it with a candle nearby.

Shadow would smile and scratch his head.

"...ill help you..."

Takeshi glared at him for a second and asked "Now why would a kage need the power of a quincy?" Then he put his hand on the cross around his neck, twirling it between his fingers.

Shadow would smile and rub the back of his neck.

"..if you dont want my help...—"

Shadow paused his words. He really didnt need the power, but ue wanted to help the Holy Order with something.

Takeshi let go of the cross and replied "Its not that I don't need help, it just a feeling that you becoming a quincy is like me grabbing a viper by the tail."

Shadow would grin wide.

"..now why is that...you havnt witnesed my power have you..?"

Shadow now really wanted this quincy.

Takeshi smiled also and replied "No but you reek of blood and death. Plus your an Uchiha like Damian, so it gives me more of a reason not to trust you being a quincy."

Shadow would frown abit.

"...damian doesnt deserve to be called an Uchiha...he is a wretch of a man..."

"That may be, but for as long as I've been around Uchihas have always been cutthroats." Takeshi said as he finished his cigarette.

Shadow would frown. There has only been like 6 Uchiha in this universe and damian was the only wretched one...

"...name three cutthroat Uchiha..."

Shadow would smile.

Takeshi wondered why Shadow wanted to be a quincy so badly, but he answered the question. "Ok first Damian was cutthroat towards his family and those around him through the years. Next is the one they call Ravage, from what I heard at the meeting he killed his wife and unborn child and blamed their deaths on you. And the last would be you. Though I may not know what you did exactly, but it looks like you had to slit a few throats to rise to power."

Shadow would grin, and try to explain to Takeshi the Uchiha that are dangerous.

"...your right aboud damian but Ravage helps alot of people. And i havent killed a single person in my entire life...so you sir...like to exaggerate and estimate other peoples lifes..."

Shadow would frown...

Takeshi laughed and replied "Well I'm sorry about that but from this scar I have on arm, I still don't Uchihas." Then showed Shadow the deep scar and the seal over it.

Shadow would marvle at the scar.

"who did that to you..?"

Shadow would wonder if he could use time to help heal Takeshi..

"Heh its from an old fight with Damian, for this scar I've been training for over 200 years waiting for a rematch with him. So I know a bit about the Uchiha clan." Takeshi said while rubbing his scar "And with the abilities it gave me I'm ready for him now."

Shadow would chuckle.

"you think your ready for Damian? You have a great chance of victory my friend.."

Shadow would lean up against the wall next to the door because he was getting tired of standing.

"Oh I'm ready to take him and that day will come. First however I'll need to deal with Ouin. So this is why I need to gather help to deal with him." Takeshi said while taking a seat on one of the benches.

Shadow would smile at the confidence Takeshi had..

"..yea...if you dont want me to help...just say it Takeshi...come on.."

Takeshi laughed and said "Shadow I honestly don't need the help of an Uchiha, I can find others for this cause. So if we're done here, you can go." Then he took another cigarette out and lit it.

Shadow would roll his eyes.

"...ok buddy...whatever you say..."

Shadow would open the door and walk out.
