"Shougi it is." Shinra stopped Myoo from placing the pieces on the board and lined them all up in their appropriate spaces using his magnet release. Of course he was talking to his friend while practicing his technique.

As the board was set up, Shinra took the first move, moving the first piece of many forward without touching it. He breathed evenly and deeply, at the point that he only needed to think about using the kekkei genkai of his clan. "Apparently this has been a blood line trait to some members of my clan, before my clan was reduced to a single person." He looked at Myoo and decided to return to an earlier topic.

"Well I hate to be a busy-body so much and seem like an old man already, but I want to make sure this village is safe, I want to make Keldran the first Tetsukage.  If we establish ourselves as a hidden village and gain land, we could have other villages under our protection and bolster our standing in the world that we won't be targeted. I don't want to stop at just being an advisor for this one village. We will be the new Land of Iron and I want to ensure its safety for decades to come. So those books I haven't put away yet have all been on war strategy, and are my personal reading material at the moment." He scratched his head and waited for Myoo to make the next move.

"I realize though, that the strategies of a single person can only cover so much ground, and you need a fresh perspective in order to cover your bases.  The same goes for shougi. Wouldn't you agree that playing with a partner would provide insight on what your enemy might be thinking?"
