As Toge and Li rested and then went about reacquiring the pieces of the large puppet-like armor he'd been in when the young man was struck by the now captured spirit, Zao didn't both to sit down and rest and instead went straight into investigating the strange fuuin formation that had been uncovered tens of meters under the burnt down forest area. This formation that was uncovered the massive explosion wasn't even the complete formation, which Zao would come to understand after allowing for himself to study and mediate on the matter for about ten minutes, instead this was only on portion of the diagram and this single part was over fifteen meters in size. Due the man's recent leaps and bounds that he had made in the art of fuuinjutsu, he was able to determine at least this much from simply observing the skill and complexity that could be seen from the fuuin formula before him that said it was linked to others. '
I see, this is more complicated then I imagined it would be. Here I thought that I had truly gained some skill in this area but perhaps I still have a ways to go before I can consider myself decent in this art.'
The long, white haired young man shook his head back and forth lightly before he began to form two short series of hand seal, then after each hand circulated with Tenku based chakra the man pushed his hands out to either side now and this action was followed by the creation of two large poofs of chakra smoke that would without a doubt draw the attention even from the distant Li. But due to the depth of the crater he was working within the fellow jounin wouldn't be able to see what had happened without coming over to take a look. On either side of the man now were two massive spirit creatures, the first was a twenty five meter tall red faced gorilla that had a massive spear like weapon in its hand and on the other side of him was a twenty five meter long green snake with a jagged cobra like hood and a mouth full of curved teeth. A hint of purple liquid seeped from the corner of the snakes mouth as it shifted its bright green eyes from side to side, the gorilla doing the same as it placed the end of its weapon lightly down onto the scorched earth now. "
Sorry to both you my friend, but this large diagram appeared to be one of at least three or four connected fuuin that form a type of formation."
Zao began to speak and his spirits remained quiet for the time being, shifting their gazes onto the fifteen meter fuuin that Zao had uncovered, having followed the direction the young man's slender fingers were pointed towards at the moment. "
Sssso, you need help uncovered the resssst?" The princess snake as the first the respond as she spoke straight forward and to the point about the matter at hand. "
Indeed, it would seem that is the mission for us, how lowly a mission for us to dig hole..." The old, red faced ape with the spear like weapon and crimson red armor chimed in, a bit displeased that the two powerful spirts had been summoned to dig holes for their master...it was almost a bit humiliating in the eyes of the two spirits, yet it wasn't like the young man was demanding it of them and had already apologized for summoning them for this reason. Each shook there head as the thin framed man couldn't help but shake his head, "
Don't worry, if this fuuin formation does what I think it might, then you won't have to worry about digging dirt but instead you'll have to deal with spirits at least as strong as yourselves. How do you think this hole got here in the first place?" He began to speak again, ensuring them that there were still battles to be found ahead and both of them had noticed when the explosive stone had been summoned from the personal realm, using such a powerful weapon meant that their master had truly encountered a powerful enemy.
Still, both creatures let out a light sigh before moving to start working on expanding the hole that they were currently standing within now, the giant ape combined using his large size and power with his hands and weapon to move the dirt up and out of the hole to the south side (moving parallel with the wall) and the serpent summoned forth a massive sword from within her mouth and began to do the same. Slowly the large hole began to increase in size as it grew longer in relation to the wall but not any wider as Zao had the thought that the fuuin diagram ran along the wall most likely and shouldn't exist to far from one another or from the wall that they seemed to be connected to. In a relatively short period of time the two spirits had dug over fifty meters in either direction and had simultaneously stumbled upon two identical fuuin formations as all three began to glow slightly and a line of chakra linked the two outside fuuin to the middle one. "
Very interesting, great work you two." Zao couldn't help but become a bit excited when his theory appeared to be right, though he still had now idea just what these fuuin were linked to in regards to the wall or if they would even be of any help in finding an access point to the wall itself. For the time being he needed to study the entire formation and the two spirits were allowed to return back to his personal realm to rest.
As the man studied them be slowly came to the realization that they were a type of key, normally the user would have a type of fuuin key that interacted with the wall itself in order to open one of the many hidden door and gate ways that were located along the seemingly impenetrable wall. Though the two men didn't have the key it was possible that they could use themselves to simultaneously activate the three locking fuuin to hopefully create an access point in order to gain entry. Zao took up a position on the middle diagram and sat down to rest and think the matter over, continuing to study the intricate nature of the formula as he awaited the return of his spirit pet and Li. "
You look like you've regained some of your chakra, that's good cause we're going to need it." He spoke with a smile to his friend upon the young man's return now, having formulated a plan that should work...maybe. "
I uncovered these three formation fuuin, it looks like in theory if we activate them all at the same time then we might be able to cause a reaction on the wall directly in front of us." Forming a familiar single hand seal, a second Zao appeared just to his left now, a shadow clone that then headed over to the left fuuin formation leaving only the one of the right left. "
I hate to task your still recovering chakra, but if you can take up a position on that fuuin diagram to our right, I want to try to activate this formation."
As long as his young friend was willing to help, which he felt that Li would be even more excited them himself with how obsessed the young jounin as about this strange and mysterious country that could be found on the other side of the 'endless' wall that covered nearly the entire country's border. After the man would move to the new formation he would understand what to do without even being told, stepping on the formation he could feel a light pull of chakra from his body, each of the shinobi would need to inject chakra into there specific formation diagram. The formation itself was like an emergence entrance that had been built into the wall's defense system if there ever arose a time that they needed to enter the wall without the special key, a back up really. Both Zao's knelt down on their respect formation diagrams now and placed the slender fingers of one hand onto the formula written out below their feet and began to glow with a faint outline of chakra. When Li did the same the lines of chakra between the three stones would grow brighter and more defined before the center stone would do the same as a diagram that had originally been hidden from normal eyesight appeared and a line of chakra shot forward to the wall were another invisible diagram appeared and in the center of the diagram a small doorway appeared.
It almost looked like a portal created through a form of space time to the experienced traveler who's bright blue eyes became fixed on the diagram that could be seen on the wall before the three of them now, Toge also returned to his master's left arm at this point as Zao looked over to Li. "
Lets try to enter at the same time, my friend." With a confident but serious look upon his face the man nodded to his friend tell him to move first, with his own speed he should be able to easily keep up with Li and time it just right to enter simultaneously...

*[Ninjutsu • Advanced Shadow Clone Technique]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user proceeds to create a number of clones of themselves (maximum is equal to 1/3rd the user's stamina). Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies of the user in both appearance and substance. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but they will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original and any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. Given that the clones are an exact replica of the user, they share the same stats except for stamina, which is determined by the number of clones presently in effect. The advantage of this form of the technique is that once dispersed, the chakra distributed to the clones returns to the user, allowing any un-used chakra to be regained, slowing the draining usage of this technique. The chakra returns to the user at a different rate depending on the user's control.
