The war was over but her mind was still racing, for she knew that a rebellion could happen anyday, especially if they didn't play their cards right. So she in order to feel safe in a new enviroment she figured that working on an armor would be what could still her nerves. The only issue was that she knew next to nothing about weapons crafting, she knew that you'd need a black smith and perhaps an idea, like when she presented the idea of her sword. So here she was, looking for the best black smith in Iwa's army, Kanade.

Her wings stopped beating as she landed next to the new blacksmith set up in Suna, for Kanade had multiple ones, or at least that was what the word on the street was. Her daughter had been spotted around these parts, which made her happy that the kid got to experience a new city. But she had a mission to focus on, Amaya wanted to aggrandize her shit and become top tier. "I am looking for Kanade, has anyone seen her?" The Shoshiki clan leader said as she took a look around.

Kanade wasn't one to mince words, and she was in the middle of a hot debate, where the person was telling her that every shinobi that he had encountered had tried to aggrandize themselves when talking to her, and she was telling him that she didn't care, that the price of metal couldn't have gone up that much because the mining operations and compound hadn't been destroyed or harmed in the assimilation of Sunagakure. She was really feeling the irritation building and was about to have her swarm unleash a jutsu that would scare the little pungent man into submitting to a fair price when someone tapped her shoulder and pointed to the sky.

While the merchant was looking at the ninja that Kanade had no doubt was just showing off, she made a surruptitious move and placed the money in front of him, fully 10% above the going price of materials on the market in Iwagakure and took the materials in front of her, "Fine." She said, in her best defeated tone, "You win, just take it. I don't want to be here when whoever that is lands and a brawl starts. Damned Kunoichi and Shinobi." She was one herself, but didn't wear the headband and had built up a quick reputation as a non-combatant Iwagakure citizen. She was still not very well known as a kunoichi and she liked it that way.

Therefore, keeping away from the nuisance and her grandiose entrance was the best recourse. She flicked her wrist, activating an anchor and appeared back at her shop, as neatly as you please with the supplies in hand. She busied herself, getting to work on her latest project, hoping that the fight where she had left would be swiftly picked up after and she would be able to gather more materials from that particular market.

Meanwhile, the person who had just pointed to her looked at where she had stood but a moment before, and blinked, dumbfounded. "Well uh, she rents a stall on the other side of the city, and apparently doesn't even use a forge to make her stuff neither."

Amaya sighed, had she really gone to the wrong place? Because what did this person mean that she was on the other side of town. Was she just teleporting around or what was going on, another sigh rolled off her breath as she crossed her arms. "So what do we do now..." Amaya stared at them aggressively, her aura was mad intense and if the person didn't get the point that she wasn't here to play then they would soon find out that this Shoshiki was very much a hot head. I guess I'll have them call her to me then because to hell with chasing someone down... What a surruptitious move of her." Amaya shrugged and gently placed her hand on their shoulder.

"You go find her and tell her Shohsiki, Amaya requests her presence immediately." Amaya shook her head in disbelief, she hadn't felt this way ever since she had turned Bannin, why would they just run away like that? What was going on? Amaya sighed and flapped her wings and flew back towards the Kazekage tower where she usually resided whenever she wasn't around her new Shoshiki compound, the woman was rather busy so the fact that she had left the tower to find Kanade was special, she just never expected her to leave like that... Weird.

Kanade got the message a half hour later. Not putting two and two together she sent out a butterfly with a smaller butterfly in its grasp. The butterfly that was carrying the butterfly was real, and the butterfly which it was carrying was a small stone, a sapphire, carved in the shape of a butterfly. The butterfly zipped toward the compound at blinding speeds, unhindered by the foot traffic of the city it made it to the Shoshiki compound before Amaya did and waited there for her, the little stone butterfly grasped in its tiny legs. Luckily for her, Amaya's name was on the door. Kanade still had no idea who Amaya was, nor what her ranking was. So she had sent the anchor to bring the Shohiki to her.

Should Amaya approach it, it would drop the stone into Amaya's hand and Amaya would find herself instantly transported via anchor to the shop. The shop was a small one, barely a lean-to with a lot of weapons and armor that was strewn about. She was, admittedly, still in the middle of setting it up, and she teleported every day to and from Iwagakure to work. She didn't stay here, why should she? So she, every day, had to toss all this stuff into her personal realm and retrieve it the next day.

What is this? A butterfly? Kanade?

Amaya was shocked to see the butterfly fly towards her, normally she never saw them but ever since Kanade was a thing there had been some in Iwagakure and these carried the same color. A gentle smile grew on her face as she reached out for it, but what came next shocked her for she was teleported to Kanade's shop. "Finally, you are not that easy to get a hold of huh? How you been?" The bannins hadn't really been talking for much but at least they knew each other, heck most Bannins knew each other for that was one of the best ways to prep for an invasion.

Amaya looked around the shop and noticed that things weren't exactly in order, perhaps this was why she was so stressed or perhaps she had a social aversion to ninjas, who knew, if she got lucky then she might perhaps explain it to Amaya. "I am here to order a full set of armor, obviously you will be paid handsomely. You are the best black smith in the entire nation so I figured I'd come to you, yes." Amaya smiled as she uncrossed her arms, a rare sight to see lately as she was still unsure about the scorching heat of Sunagakure.

"I've been alright, you know, just setting up shop here after the dual invasion." She smiled, "You're Shoshiki, Amaya, I hope. Or my butterfly got the wrong person." She nodded, "But then again, you would probably not be talking to me in such a familiar way if you weren't her." She blinked and tilted her head, "I don't know about Sunagakure, but I do know that I am not the best one in Iwagakure, I am actually going for the title of Vishvakarna. Though finding my way to him seems to be a trial in and of itself, not to mention challenging him."

She set the supplies in the sand next to the bench and wiped off the counter with a rag she produced from a pocket. She was wearing the standard peasant outfit of Sunagakure, and was altogether plain as mud except the fiery eyes and magmatic hair, "So tell me, what kind of armor do you want me to make for you, and to what specifications, and what would you like for it to be able to carry with it? Any special jutsu you would like stored in it?" She looked up at the Shoshiki, "I don't know what rank you are, but this will probably amount to about your annual salary if you're really in the market for it."

The blonde warrior nodded as Kanade spoke her name, confirming that the butterfly had chosen correct. "I'm sure you just haven't had the time to apply for that title, you've had it in you for a long time. I can see that in you. Some people are just destined you know, it's in their reflection." Amaya raised her hand and expanded a piece of mirror to reflect Kanade's image back at her. "See?" Amaya smiled as she stood next to the mirror before shrinking it back to a shard. Once Kanade started asking what kind, she would channel chakra to the same piece of shard and create a full covering armor right next to her.

This glass variant of the armor had a Full metal helmet that would covers her entire head, and the cut sleeves that allow her to see would be enough for her mind to fill the gaps and see perfectly through the armor. Gold trimmings cover the head which not only distracts the eye but also works with the design to allure the target to strike where the armor is strongest. The entire armor looked to be made of light material and golden decorated. The armor comes with a red cape that is easily detachable, the cape is also attached to the armored sleeves. The fine armor protects the wearer and sits above Thorns, leaving enough gaps for the glass to seep through and add additive protection. They wear protective garment underneath the entire armor. "metal" sleeves that not only protect the arms but the added large pauldrons protect the wearer's neck from decapitations. The armored sleeves are stacked layers upon layers of metal sheet to make sure that the metal is not only light but also flexible so that Amaya isn't hindered by the armor. Metal that defends the wearer from losing their fingers and blunt force trauma. Underneath she wears gloves that protect her hands if anything were to slip past the metal as things often do. These sturdy gloves do not hinder the user's ability to form and seals now use weapons or grab onto sharp weaponry. Armored Greaves Silver armor that protects their shins, legs, and feet from cutting and blunt force trauma. A white cape is attached to the greaves, which are also easily detachable if they were to be entangled or grabbed, the finely decorated armor won't only protect Amaya but also draw the eye of her enemies which should hopefully distract them long enough for her to pull a trick out or two.

"I was thinking, that? But in Kouton. We don't want anyone thinking they can pull some stunt on us now." Amaya chuckled as she crossed her arms, she was a warrior after all, in fact, it turned out she was a warrior princess. "With this armor under your belt you have another proof that you deserve the title of the best." Amaya, even though she was pissed earlier, felt that this woman deserved to hear it. Anyone invited to the prewar council was the best of the best, therefor, she had to be.
