Chen stood over the stasis chamber he had made for his beloved. The coffin-like structure was well-hidden underground. It was a compound created by him using the power of Doton and it would serve to hide her from the authorities that now sought them both. As Chen predicted, the new Tsuchikage had failed her test. He had conquered Sunagakure and finally put Stone's long time oppressor under the same yoke of tyranny that they had foisted upon their neighbor. He had eliminated the stagnancy that had rotted it to its core and allowed it to be a safe haven for predators and criminals. It was by his hand that the Western Kishin Alliance could now stand proud and in competition with the other great powers of the shinobi world. He had done so with the brutality necessary to ensure that Suna would never rise again to threaten their interests. He had done so wondering whether Diana would see his vision for what it was. He thought it unlikely but he wanted to know for sure. If she understood the sacrificies that needed to be made to make her dream come true then she'd allow him to rule the Oasis in Iwa's name. If she did not, she would condemn his actions and leave him at the mercy of her shinobi.
He had his answer.
Diana had branded him an S-Ranked Criminal Ninja and she had decried his activities as inhumane and not sanctioned by Iwa. Chen was no longer a Diarch. He was no longer an Iwa shinobi. He was a wanted terrorist. Worse yet, his only ally Raijin was killed somewhere out in the far east of the continent. The setbacks would have been manageable had the plague not taken them.
For he and his beloved had slipped into a coma and had been cared for by their most loyal supporters. During this period, Iwa had re-asserted its control over Suna and slowly, the citizens carried on as if nothing had even happened. There were even rumors that some of the elderly had returned to Suna now that they felt Chen and Sayuri were gone.
They were dead wrong.
Chen awoke with rage in his heart and mind. He wanted nothing more than to make the people of Suna suffer for their treachery. The first thing that he did when he arose was tend to Sayuri. He knew he could not stay in Suna now that Iwa had formally declared him a Nuke-Nin. However, a life on the run was not possible for one who suffered the plague. Chen had instead opted to create a secret stasis chamber underneath the Oasis-city. It would allow Sayuri to live on in the place that people would be the least likely to look for her. Chen stood over the sleeping form of his consort. All manner of sentimentality, kindness and purity had left his heart. In its place, rage, insanity and cruelty. Yet, part of him still felt a vestige of love for her. There was lust. A lot of it. But there was love too. She was the only one who understood. The only one who knew what it was like to yearn for the torment of others. Chen looked at her while she slept. She was beautiful. A dark angel of blonde hair and fair skin. He knelt and placed a kiss on her cheek. As he did, he'd open her palm and leave a letter in her hand.
"You'll wake again soon. I command it." Chen said. The tenacity and anger in his voice. "When you do, speak the language we taught each other here in the Oasis. I will find you and I will show you that new world that I promised. I'll start with Sungakure."
Chen took a breath and left the area. He had allowed his supporters to flee the coming judgment. Their faith in him and Sayuri would be rewarded at a later time. For now, it was the people of Suna that would be the first to feel Ethereum's wrath. They had refused the gift he had given them and instead choose to continue their heresy against him. He would teach them a lesson they would never forget.
