Note: Sorry Vegeta and Never, I have ADHD.

'****.' Sado thought to himself. He had been trying to direct Lena to go do what she mentioned back in Shinramoto only to notice she still wasn't here. He wasn't sure where she was, but she wasn't here and that's all he knew. Maybe she had circled around Shinramoto to find Topaz, he didn't know but he was already caught up in himself and what he was doing. Where were those bandits? Lena wanted to save them. Sado tried to remember back to the first day Smith the clone Sado had sent here a month or so ago had entered the Ruins of Chungsu.
He had met Lena and Topaz as they were exiting the deeper portions of the ruins from what he could remember. He shook his head back and forth vigorously trying to shake himself out of thinking but something pulled him toward helping those people. People he didn't even know. His attention was divided as the second wave of undead inched closer as a shambling mass of bodies dragging themselves over each other to get to the noise he was making.

Damn it. I didn't sign up to give a shit.

As he said that aloud to himself he lifted his hand upward directing Asmodeus on what to do. With the swaying of his right hand, Sado caused the creature to cry out with bestial fury as the Red Sand around its mouth condensed into a torrent that pierced forward as a rushing mass of pressurized Red Sand. In unison to this Sado tossed two kunai with tags upon them into the torrent of Red Sand as they both imploded releasing more Red Sand into the billowing mass of particles.
Together it blasted forward striking numerous undead reducing another group of about twenty to smears of flesh and blood across the ground, but more were shambling forward now a mere ten meters away from Asmodeus and Sado. Sado grunted in exasperation at this situation. Those people meant nothing to him but he had a sinking sensation in his gut scratching at the inside of his body welling up from inside telling him to deviate from his current path to go help. They could be useful, he rationalized. An obvious excuse, but it was enough for him to make a decision.
It was the perfect time to make that decision because as he did the music began to die off as the first song came to an end, he heard masculine voices in the distance. Roughly a hundred meters or so in a north-eastern direction. It was around where he remembered Smith meeting Lena and Topaz. He did two things, first he turned upon his right foot pivoting his body and turning in the direction of the bandit community, second he directed Asmodeus to passively lash out again as he struck forward with his arms tearing through another twenty or so undead scooping them up and tossing them back about twenty meters reducing them to pieces that spread across the field to the north-west. It was about this time that Salazzle noticed what was happening and spoke poking fun at Sado's action.

The self-proclaimed "demon" is growing a heart. Hm?

Sado replied in a somewhat harsh tone.

I've always had one-... but it just gets in the way of rational decision making. Like right now.

(Nirro Suna: Nesasu no Asumodeusu) Red Sand Release: Asmodeus of Nessus

Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 40 ( -10 per turn )
Damage points: 80 ( +20 Tags ) ( +20 SM ) = 120
Description: The user will perform three handseals their chakra into the ground. From this massive amount of chakra the user causes Red Sand to form and then erupt upward from the ground buckling it and cracking it as a massive creature made out of Red Sand rises from the ground. The creature will be completely made out of Red Sand and is able to protect the user from incoming techniques while also being able to attack. Once per turn passively the creature can lash out with it's arms or body to smash or crush anything in it's path with the sheer weight and size of their body. It not only can attack a target physically by lashing out in various ways to attack the enemy in a freeform manner it can attack at range. It does this by shooting from it's mouth a highly pressurized torrent of Red Sand with enough potential and strength to pierce through techniques that Red Sand is strong to (A-rank in strength). This can be done once per turn with a two turn cool down and costs a move slot, twice per battle. Any Red Sand that touches human or animal flesh is able to cause third degree burns. If there is a red sand source available the creature can use it to reform itself from damage it could have taken while being used but it counts as a move slot. However unlike the reformation ability mentioned above this doesn't cost any chakra needing only a source of Red Sand to accomplish After the creature is done or if it's broken down due to a clash with a stronger technique the creature will disperse itself throughout the air causing a massive source of Red Sand to form leaving red sand all over the battle field up to mid range.
Note: Usable twice a battle and needs a two turn cool down while no other Red Sand jutsus can be used during the cool down. After it's dispersal.
Note: The user cannot use any techniques other than Red Sand techniques while sustaining the creature.
Note: The torrent of Red Sand and the reformation abilities each cost a move slot but can be used in the same timeframe as another technique due to originating from the creature instead of the user.
Note: Creature can last for three turns

(Akai Sabaku no Tagu) - Tags of the Red Desert

Type: Supplementary
Rank: N/A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: N/A (-5 per tag)
Damage: N/A ( +20 to paper ninjutsu, tag based ninjutsu or Red Sand Techniques )
Description: These tags were created by Korra to use in conjunction with her Paper Ninjutsu and are a replacement for the explosive tags a shinobi usually carries thus making them passive. These tags are red in color with a desert/sand look with 漠 on the middle. The tags contain red sand in them and can be detonated by the user merely through thought. The sand in the tags help give the user a source of red sand throughout the battle field. Each single tag contains enough red sand to support a D rank Red Sand technique. The user can use the red sand from the tags for other Red Sand techniques but only if enough tags go off for example the remainders of a single tag can support a D rank technique. The remainder of two tags can support a C rank etc. If used alongside basic ninjutsu that summons Explosive Tags like Hidden Explosive Tags Technique, or that uses Explosive tags that technique is considered a Red Sand technique and will release Red Sand upon detonation. These tags can also be used alongside Red Sand techniques by funneling them into the formation of a technique empowering a Red Sand technique allowing it to overcome it's usual weaknesses as when it clashes with another technique the tags will detonate releasing more Red Sand and increasing the strength of that technique enough to overcome it's weakness.
Note: Must post this in the user bios to be able to use them or post them in the start of the battle and cannot be utilized alongside other seals to increase tag damage.

Moving forward in the direction of the bandit camp and the clamor he turned to look for his allies. He was stupid and driven by ego. If he could be seen as a hero he wanted to be. His appearance meant everything to him, but he needed an audience or the whole performance was for naught. Getting closer to the community he began to see various undead locked in combat with a group of bandits trying to hold a position down. They had crafted a small fortified area but it was being overwhelmed by the stragglers that had not been drawn by Sado's loud and boisterous activities.
The undead must have been drawn to the grunts and yells caused by the fighting men as they tried to hold the undead at bay with swords and their fists. Sado growled in a grating and jarring tone as a few of the undead turned to face him realizing there was another tempting creature on the field. Sado quickly called out to the closest group of bandits. He could sense numerous small chakra signatures deeper inside of the fortified location. There were too many for him to estimate.

Oi, I'm here to help you evacuate. Do you think you can make it to Shinramoto from here?

The first to call back was an older man, his tone was hard and broken. He had unkempt white hair and a braided white beard that hung down to his chest. He slashed forward with his sword cutting through an undead like it was paper as it's guts spilled out from it covering the ground in front of the man. He didn't want help, he didn't need help. He was proud in his speech and rebuffed Sado's offer. His rejection was quickly backed up by three or so more of the bandits near him who chimed in that they were doing just fine on their own they didn't need a shinobi to help.
The way the group spoke conveyed that they didn't want help from a shinobi, nor did trust them or want their charity. They all rallied behind the older man who seemed to hold a lot of sway over the other bandits. 'Damn idiots' was all that Sado could think.

We don't need help from your kind. We've got by on our own up til now.

Your kind divided this world, not us. We're just trying to keep our piece.

Sado had to think of how to sway the minds and hearts of these people. They were stubborn, he needed to convince them that he was on their side and they could find refuge in Shinramoto with their ally Topaz. Topaz, that's right Sado knew of one of their allies. Maybe he could talk them down off of the metaphorical ledge they were one.
It was now that he had wished Lena was here doing this. His plan was to break shit, destroy the undead and crush their ranks. Not negotiating with an old dude who couldn't get past himself enough to retreat. The undead was beginning to pile up now, Sado wasn't thinning them out down to the south-west anymore because he was here so they were beginning to rush upward toward the current loudest noise. Which unluckly at the moment was this group.

Topaz, I know Topaz. He's in Shinramoto.

Sado exhaled hard as he thought of what he could say. What would convince these people to follow him, to retreat and save themselves? He needed to show them that they were the same. He looked back behind him and realized that there was another incoming wave of undead pushing their way past Asmodeus. It was too far away for him to command right now so it was idle. He had to convince this old dude and his group that the divide wasn't as big as he thought. That Sado was a good guy here to help for free. Even though it wasn't exactly for "free" he was doing this to keep his alliance with Lena and to strengthen the foothold inside the Tea Peninsula. Was that why he decided to help these people. Then the words started to come to him and he was speaking. They seemed honest, even if Sadow as making it up as he went. He didn't know what he was saying, he was just good at bullshiting in a convincing way.

-... and I don't see a divide between the shinobi of this world and the common men and women without the power to be called shinobi like you. The division I see is the division between the shinobi that like the world divided and the rest of us. I see it everywhere I go. I see it when a shinobi uses their ninjutsu to burn down an entire settlement instead of building it up with that very same ninjutsu. I see it in the moments when they show you that you're weaker because they feel threatened by what makes you strong. I see it when a Shogun gives guns to their conscripted army of common folk, bandits, mercenaries, and farmers. So that we're all too busy fighting each other to fight the real injustices like totalitarianism. I see it on the farmlands where common folk work for a fraction of a shinobi's Ryo. Even though those same shinobi do nothing but promise protection, from their own reckless actions. This world's problem isn't weak people or strong shinobi. This world's problem is the shinobi feeding on the dying world around them, but I've got a message for them. From the shinobi keeping this world alive, a message from the shinobi that believe in this world to the shinobi that don't; you're outnumbered.

Finishing off the last sentence Sado turned on his heel to face the incoming horde that was now only ten or so meters away from him. He called back toward the bandits with a defined and authoritative tone. They had cleared off the few undead that were here right now, but another much larger wave of at least one-hundred were approaching in a mass of death and motion. GO! NOW! I'LL COVER YOU! There's a man to the south-west from where I came from. His name is Vegeta, ask him to take you to Lena of Shinramoto. Tell him Sado sent you, and that if he doesn't see him again-... that he was his first real friend in this world.
As he said that Sado did a few things in unison the first thing he did was he began to concentrate chakra into his legs supplementing it with Red Sand. He waited motionless until the horde was ten meters away, now five meters away. They would be upon him in a second. The group of bandits behind him saw this and the five or so men who were defending the fortification called inward gathering up the rest of the group. They had one choice, retreat the older man who initially had a problem with charity and help nodded toward Sado.

Don't go dyin. I don't know you, but you seem like a reckless bastard.

I like reckless bastards like you boy, hell I was one in my youth.

The bandits and their community of about seventy-five or eighty other people of varying shapes and sizes began to retreat downward toward the south-west. They began to shuffle out of the fortified encampment trying to rush away as quietly as possible. As they went on their way music began to play again drawing in more of the undead picking up their attention and drawing it upon Sado as they began to swarm and gather around him for what seemed to be a cheap meal. 'Bad idea' Sado thought as he performed the next motion.
Sado kicked upward with his right leg performing a spinning roundhouse kick while in unison he released all of the building chakra creating a swirling mass of Red Sand. It quickly pulled together encapsulating Sado in a sea of red dust as the momentum carried it outward roughly five meters around him in all directions.
This action created a massive dust storm around his area as the Red Sand coalesced into a roaring dragon that was long and slender. The initial gust of Red Sand tore through numerous undead eviscerating about two or three dozen of them as the dumb creatures continued marching forward trying to enter into the defensive construct. The Red Sand continued to pour forth as the dragon slammed downward tearing through several dozens more undead the sharp gusts of Red Sand tearing them apart and flinging their pieces across the field like a shower of blood and viscera mixed with dust and heat.

( Konoha Ryūjin ) - Leaf Dragon God

Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A-rank ( S )
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60 ( +20 Tags ) ( +20 Desert Sparda ) = 100
Description:
This is an ultimate taijutsu technique created by the legendary taijutsu master Chen. It appears to be initiated by an upward spin kick at which point it quickly becomes like tornado. Forming into a dragon with long whiskers, it attacks the target aiming to swallow them, at which point they are cut by the razor sharp air currents inside the attack. After initiating the attack, the user appears to remain shielded within the base of the tornado as the outward surface of the dragon seems to be solid enough for a person to impact and rebound off of, making the only way to enter the technique once it has been initiated is by being swallowed. However, there is one distinct weakness to the technique. Since the Dragon God's real form (and what it basically is) is that of an ordinary tornado, though cosmetically shaped into a dragon, its attack power is based on rotation. If one enters the attack's centre (Dragon's Eye) while rotating at high speed, such as Lee's One-Man Front Lotus, it can be dispersed without inflicting damage. The technique, while seemingly similar to Wind Release, is actually just the users own physical power (through the use of the spinning kick) shaping the air into currents through movement. It is, however, enough to fight off elemental ninjutsu of the same rank and below.
Note: Can only be used by Taijutsu Specialists and EIG users

(Niiro Suna: Sabaku no Hōtō) Red Sand Release: Desert Sparda

Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60 ( +20 Tags ) ( +20 SM ) = 100
Description: The user releases Red Sand as he punches, kicks or uses a taijutsu motion which allows for blasts of Red Sand to be incorporated into free-form taijutsu and taijutsu usage. The user can also perform arm motions such as waving of the arms in an arc like motion or kicking of the legs in swift motions to release crescent arc-like blasts, blades, waves or torrents of Red Sand allowing the user to attack the opponent from a moderate distance such as Mid Range. The blasts and arcs hold enough force behind them to knock the opponent back as well as possibly bruise the internal organs but it's real damages comes in due to the heat and properties of the Red Sand. This justsu is more of a way to create openings in the opponent's stance or exploit openings or weak points in the opponent's stance. The Red Sand follows the strengths and weaknesses found in the element itself causing the taijutsu technique to have the strengths and weaknesses of Red Sand.
Additionally by supplementing basic or elemental chakra from taijutsu with Red Sand the user is able to instead empower that technique with Red Sand causing more damage than it usually would have on it's own. This is because when the Red Sand hits a person it will pierce into or through the body causing deep burns and slashes as well as when it comes against other techniques it will have the strengths of Red Sand. This potential for damage and additional Red Sand increases the rank of taijutsu techniques by one up to S rank with S ranks or Forbidden techniques it increases the damage by ten but doesn't effect the rank. An example of what this can do is if it is used alongside something like (Konoha Ryūjin ) - Leaf Dragon God instead of using the basic chakra they release to create gale winds and an air current based dragon through the initial kick they can release a massive amount of Red Sand with the kick creating a Red Sand dragon in it's stead.
Note: Cannot use any other Red Sand jutsu the turn this is used
Note: The user can only create four blasts, arcs or waves with each use, with the total power divided between them.
Note: Can only be used alongside taijutsu once per turn with a one turn cool down. Can only be used thrice per battle.

The dragon finally died off and Sado looked around himself to see what was left. The group was far off in his periphery vision as he darted forward following behind them picking off any undead that remained by forming three hand seals and sending out a few scythe-like tools tearing through any undead that tried to follow. His objective was to try and return these people to Vegeta and Trunks, and Lena if she had arrived yet.
Due to his ADHD, Sado was excessively impulsive and couldn't wait. He actually thought for a moment he might die there. He laughed a bit at that thought as Salazzle who was with him the entire time cracked him on the back of the head. This stopped him from laughing as he realized she was actually there with him. He had forgotten in his one-track mind that he now kept his summon with him at all times.

Next time you plan on making yourself a martyr, leave me back home, ya goof.

I was screaming my guts out, but your ass pretended like you couldn't hear me.

(Nirro Suna: Ryokō-sha no Tsūru) Red Sand Release: Tools of the Traveler

Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: B - S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20 - 40
Damage points: 40 - 80 ( +20 Tags ) ( +20 SM ) = 120
Description: The user can form strong tools out of Red Sand either by creating a source with this jutsu or manipulating an already existing source, these include; kunai, swords, pillars, shields etc. However B rank will need one hand seal, A rank will need two hand seals and S rank will need three hand seals. The tools will be able to repel water and other liquids and the sand is heated significantly giving them a burning property. The heat from the tools are enough to cause third degree burns to human skin on contact and cause deep searing wounds. The user himself doesn't directly touch the tools therefor he is unaffected by the heat of them. The tools can only be created short range from the user if the technique is used to create its own source of red sand. As a defensive mechanism the user is able to produce Red Sand directly from their body in a large enough quantity to push hazardous substances such as liquid, oil, fire, mud, etc away and off of them.
Note: S rank can be used once per turn and four times per battle

Detective L said:
T'is shocking how close to home this was. Dark magic, the sound of an ancient language being spouted about. I wouldn't be surprised if I found Flemeth walking about. My eyes widened upon arrival upon the odd place. Symmetra led the way but she was entirely out her depth, wasn't she? Did she even understand the implications at hand here? Was she prepared for what was to come? During my time under Flemeth, I saw things. 'Twas an experience to say the least. She dabbled in all manner of things ranging from messing around with dead animals to boiling the corpses of Muggles. All under the banner of experimentation. Or so I thought at the time. How naive I was. Now being exposed to the outside world, perhaps Flemeth really was what the Muggles labeled her. A crazy old woman who once carried the powers of an old god. The reincarnation of an age old dragon. A Maleficarum.

I looked toward Symmetra and smiled. She knew I was the one to help in a situation like this, and I couldn't help but be more willing. Perhaps this could lead me down the rabbit hole I needed. Something I needed to do in order to find what I was looking for. Perhaps I could extend my capabilities too.

"Well what I do is what Flemeth told me. Perhaps they were but tales but they do seem oddly relevant now. Hundreds years ago, before even Muggles roamed this place a small group existed. These individuals carried the capability to conjure all sorts of things and utilize their chakra in ways previously unknown. They could summon forth entities as well, or so it was said. This does sound oddly familiar to what I can do, however I am limited to creating entities that I control. Bringing back the dead is beyond even my prowess. Perhaps we need to investigate the ruins to see more? Find out how these..things exist. Because it must be due to something unnatural. Perhaps even very old."

I stated. This was not just magus that was capable of conjuring forth living entities. No. This was something very old. Very experienced. Could it be? The Fade? A place Flemeth only mentioned every once in a while? No, impossible. Utilizing a very simple and arbitrary technique, I could easily look into what was going on without risking me and Symmetra being seen. Grabbing a few rocks from the ground, I focused my chakra into them forming them into small bird like entities. These four stone like birds quickly take flight and burst into 4 directions around me and Symmetra. The ruins were by no means small in scale and this allowed me to easily venture the area.

Being inextricably linked to my vision, the birds allowed me to see everything occurring around the ruins. With the bird making its way to the south, it quickly picked up a large variety of individuals around the ruins. These weren't all of normal origin however. Some individuals seemed a bit..odd. Could it be the revived corpses? The dark night and thick mist did conceal much however I could make out the chanting, which didn't sound too familiar or like any spell I know. Nonetheless, they weren't the only ones around. The others, perhaps normal Muggles, were also littered here and there.

While of course, trying to keep themselves concealed as well. For good reason. If something here was revived, we wouldn't want to be caught now, would we? Perhaps these revived things posed a threat of some sort, beside their annoying chanting? None of the individuals seemed particularly interesting, however. The bird to the north picked up what seemed to be some odd lighting. Perhaps one taking refuge and deemed light to be a good source to protect himself from the odd entities that exist here? An interesting note to keep and something to further explore. The bird to the east picked up nothing in particular beside a few lifeless bodies, much less than ones littered around in other areas. Quiet, for such a large place on that side, perhaps a good escape route if need be.

"Well, it seems we ought to head toward some sort of lighting I saw. I couldn't make it out, with this thick mist and all. Follow my lead."

I stated to Symmetra as I aimed to keep moving. With the birds having scouted ahead, I created a mental map of how I should proceed. Perhaps traveling as an animal would quicker, however, it might alert the wrong presence upon my usage of Mahou in this place..My eyes squinted as I kept to the dark corners and corridors. I was quiet accustomed to moving as a shadow, having practiced during my time as an underling beneath Flemeth as we stole innocent Muggles from the roads. The good old days, weren't they?

With haste, I kept to the shadows. Crossing over structures and dashing across areas like a cat, Symmetra followed suit. Together we were like vipers in the grass. Our presence unknown to others and our investigation would soon reach an interesting point. The eerie factor of the entire city took a large bump upward as we came across what seemed to be a large building from which the lighting emanated. Of course, scattered about were the corpses revived. How odd to see them up close...their clothes tattered and their bodies rotting. Just how were these individuals capable of doing this..or person, if it were that strong. This would require the strongest of magic, wouldn't it? Turning to Symmetra I state.

"This building seems to be of special interest. Perhaps we shall take a look inside."

Saying as I quickly aim to seek a way in without alerting our revived friends. Perhaps a distraction of sorts? While perhaps easily handled between Symmetra and I, we ought to first seek what the cause is before going on rampage. Squinting my eyes, I quickly focus my Fire based chakra to an area in the far off area, aiming to attract the attention of the wild dead. With a sudden focus, an explosion would occur, much akin to one from an explosive tag. The fire suddenly expands and dims down, creating enough noise to cause the dead to rush to the site of the noise. Interesting, they were quite fast. Ceasing the opportunity, Symmetra and I dashed across the courtyard and entered the building.

The lighting seemed to only be stronger as we got closer. Our cover now null, however, the distraction did allow us to ward off any odd reanimated folk. We would seek to go closer, walking slowly, wand in hand. Symmetra was of course, quite focused as well and as quiet as ever. Deeper and deeper into the building we ventured and the hairs on the back of my neck stood. 'Twas quite an experience. Could a Muggle be this dangerous? This odd? Wield such power? If so, I had yet much to learn of them. The source of the light came closer and closer, and upon reaching the final area, I merely peeked toward Symmetra as I opened the door...

"My, my..."

Shocked I stood. My eyes widened upon the sight of a thick yet translucent barrier. But that wasn't what caught my attention. Within the barrier, an odd coffin. It hung suspended in the air. Around it, the oddest of figures. Four, clearly defined forms. Their bodies seemed oddly ethereal. Were they perhaps, not in this plane? Having dabbled with Yin release, I could see spirits from beyond, perhaps even otherworldly beings...were they some sort of form or type of this? The shock on Symmetra face seemed to denounce the fact that she could see them too. They seemed to spout a similar chant than one heard outside. Were they the originators and perhaps the ones who orchestrated this entire ordeal? I turned to Symmetra, telling her what I thought.

"They don't seem to notice our presence, Symmetra. From what I understand, these beings are not on this plane, at least not their bodies. The covering there seems to be a barrier of sorts. How strong it is, we have yet to find out. However, their ways of conducting this ritual..I believe they may be a sub section of an Apostate, a mage of sorts that dabbled in..darker magic. It seems they may be Maleficar and may be seeking to draw power from the Fade to bring about unspeakable chaos to this world."

I stated. She probably wouldn't understand it entirely, but the awe on my face might deem to be a necessary warning that this was not commonplace.

"Flemeth always stated;

Magic exists to serve man, and never to rule over him.
Foul and corrupt are they
Who have taken His gift
And turned it against His children.
They shall be named Maleficar, accursed ones.
They shall find no rest in this world
Or beyond.

Sounds oddly reminiscent of the ones before us, don't they? What ought we do?"

I asked with a smile on my face.

(Katon: Chīsana Bakuhatsu) - Fire Release: Microburst

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 30
Description: This technique allows a user to create a forward aimed and oxygen enhanced explosion.

It's explosive nature has been gauged to be roughly the same as an explosive tag with the explosion projected forward instead of the normal omnidirectional behavior.

Beginning Mission

Analyze the barrier which protects the dead body and bone fragment (A-Rank, 4)

Symmetra analyzed the words of Morrigan carefully, especially the sayings of the one known as Flemeth. Symmetra hadn't known this Flemeth but the person seemed to be very acquainted with all sorts of magic including this dark magic before us. "Maleficar , the accursed ones." The more she learned about what was happening here, the more intrigued Symmetra became about these people.

How exactly were they able to revive the dead? And these spirits... who were they, were did they come from and why are they surrounding this coffin within this barrier. There was so many questions that flew through Symmetra's mind and not even Morrigan could begin to answer them, nor had they had the time to discuss. The casket, which was enveloped in a barrier seemed to be the origin of these reanimated corpses. Why else would they choose to protect it? Symmetra stepped forward, putting her body a little ahead of Morrigan's, stating this.

Whatever, this barrier is. It can be stopped, or at least I hope it could be. It's messing with the natural order. And last time I checked, that's my job and mine alone.

She took her time inspecting the barrier from a distance to not alert the spirits that occupied it's immediate barrier. With her fuuinjutsu mastery and experience, being able to create many fuuinjutsu enhancements of her own, Symmetra mentally noted that the barrier was definitely one whose goals were to protect this casket at all costs. However, no Kanji formula existed or tag was present on the floor anywhere that the puppeteer could see. Perhaps the barrier... was originating from the coffin itself? The only way to figure this out was to engage the barrier directly.

Symmetra turned to Morrigan and said, I'll try to see what this barrier is about. Watch my back, if anything happens it'll be quite alright, I can just replace my body.

Having said this to Morrigan, Symmetra didn't know what to expect entirely. Her soul could leave her body, her body could disintegrate whole, there was no telling what exactly this barrier did or how powerful it truly was. There was no way this could go well. Symmetra stuck out her hand and activated a seal on her body which released a elongated arm that was long enough to reach the barrier from a safe enough distance. As the arm approached the barrier, it tread along the ground like a snake, ziggingand zagging to it's destination to avoid alerting the spirits. Once directly underneath the barrier, the arm shot up and touched the barrier while Symmetra activated her Barrier Shatter technique.

On contact, the barrier began to crack which sent the spirits into a frenzy. Having believed it worked, Symmetra maintained contact with the barrier to ensure its destruction. However, the barrier turned a bright red as the chants of the ethereal beings increased in intensity. The cracks on the barrier began to backtrack as if the barrier was ejecting the cracks themselves and Symmetra's chakra. The cracks continued to be ejected back to the point of contact, however the cracks began to form and race against Symmetra's hand.

The barrier reverses the effects done to it on to the caster?! She severed the elongated arm from her body before the cracks traveled to her main body and shattered her.

I've never seen anything like that. These Maleficar are something else. We can't directly engage the barrier. I don't even think that was a pure sealing art. It was almost as if it was... corrupted somehow.

After the barrier reacted the way it did, footsteps approached behind Morrigan and Symmetra. They were slowly paced by not rhythmic in nature like a living beings footsteps were. Turning around, dozens of the undead poured into the hall and there were more coming.

Morrigan, we have company.

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user will insert their chakra into a active barrier to then interfere with the source and cancel the barrier shattering its shell.

(Kigen) Genesis

Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: D-A
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 10-30
Damage: 20-60
Description: A Mutation Fist technique that incorporates a basic and advanced application into the style. This technique is essentially another basic application that allows the user to adjust their body as they see fit. By simply sending chakra into seals across their body up to four at max the user is able to resummon a limb if wanted and replace it with an appendage to further suit their needs or just summon an appendage from anywhere on their body. The capabilities of this technique is near limitless, but the attachments must still be logical. At most the attachments can deal up to A-rank damage however, if the user has more than one limb then the rank will be split between said limbs. If desired the user can choose to coat said limb into any elemental nature they know with the help of sealing tags that the style is composed of. The user is also able to create attachments that can act as a shield or other supplementary tasks. An example of this technique in action would be the user using it to replace one of their arms with a snake entity that can be protracted up to a foot in length and replace their other arm with one that has a sword in it; the snake can be used to restrain or grapple on to opponents depending on its rank. Like what Mutation Fist is based on it essentially allows the user to direct attacks at the enemy giving them little time to counter. Let it be noted, that these replacements will essentially become physically modified onto the user’s body and can be permanent. However, the user can always choose to passively return their body back to its original state if wanted, but if choosing to keep their modified body the user can always choose between wielding their body as freeform tools or by spending a move they can apply the damage of the rank of the technique they originally used. The user can also send chakra in up to four tags located on their limbs and resummon them, but can only last one turn and can't be used on the user's heart itself, and if doing so then the usage is equal to D-rank and five additionally chakra point are required for each limb resummoned. There is also another version of the D-rank ability that allows for the user to resummon their limbs. Instead of resummoning the limbs themselves, the user can choose to adjust the sealing tag with Fuinjutsu and with their skills in Mutation Fist and adjust the seal so that it activates on its own. The user will set the seal to activate whenever the user is faced with an opponent or attack that is moving faster than they can track and in response to this the seal will resummon the limbs that are in the way of the attack, but the user must is still only able to resummon up to four limbs. Without input from the user, the seal will have the limbs resummoned for up to one turn, but they will/can be resummoned back sooner if the threat that activate it vanishes. This version of the technique, must be posted in the user's biography as a seal and if the user decides to use this version then they are unable to resummon limbs on their own anymore. This version also takes chakra equivalent to the original version. If wanted, the user can choose to passively start a battle with certain attachments as long as it is stated in the user's biography or beginning of a battle. There is also a passive function of this technique that enables the user to produce limbs such as hands or legs in order to perform hand seals or jutsu requirements. For example, if the user's hands are preoccupied they can use this to passively produce hands in order to perform the hand seals requires for the jutsu to be activated. In no way can this be used in order to use another jutsu at the same time as the user is currently performing one. This will only allow the user to more conveniently perform the requirements for certain techniques and the process of summoning the hands and performing the jutsu requirements happens pretty smoothly. With this version the user can also create passive attachments equivalent to free form, but the attachments must still follow the rules stated above.

Note: A-rank version can only be used four times with a turn cool down between usages.

Starting new mission, using these Elements from the Conqueror's End Prologue;

Sneak into the monastery without alerting any of the zombies. (S-Rank, 5)
Scout out the monastery without alerting any of the zombies. (B-Rank, 3)

Summary: After meeting with an odd pair of strangers within Chungsu's Library, Shayde gets information of, and immediately heads to the site of the dark ritual at the heart of Chungsu.

Shayde did nothing as the young woman unsheathed her sword at his arrival, understanding the natural reflex to defend oneself in times like this. She seemed sincere enough, though her words came with an underlying defensive hostility.

“I’d watch that tongue of yours, it will end up as food to the zombies if you’re not careful.”

It took every ounce of his strength to prevent Shayde from responding with a sarcastic, or joking remark, like; "I didn't plan on 'Frenching' the Undead, but since you gave me the idea..." or "I'm pretty tough, so they'll be chewing for quite a while.", but instead he opted to take the young woman's advice somewhat, remaining silent as he watched her, almost playfully, hide behind the young man she had apparently been conversing with, asking if he was a gentleman who would defend a young maiden in her time of need. Defend her? From him? Shayde wanted to burst into laughter, as the mere thought that he was being labeled as more of a threat than the dead literally coming back to life, was hilarious, but doing so would cause problems, thanks to aforementioned dead. But really, what was there to be afraid of with Shayde? About the only indicator of hostility came from his right eye, as people had mistaken it for an active Sharingan in the past. As Shayde mulled over what she meant, she had disappeared, leaving the oddly dressed gentleman to fill him in on what he knew about the situation. A dark ritual further inland? That made sense with what Shayde saw, energy being released erratically from further inside the City. But something didn't quite add up... The man's words made it sound like he had already been there, seen it firsthand, yet he had just decided to leave? He also left out key details, like who was performing such a ritual, how many there were, or where it was taking place... At the same time, he was apparently offering information to the young woman who had left, but also expected information in return... Quid pro quo at a time like this? Something felt off about this individual, and Shayde didn't know if he could be trusted or not, since so much was left ambiguous... The man continued, stating that it was best to find somewhere else to continue their discussion, as things were apparently going to get crowded. Shayde wondered what was meant by this, when he realized someone else was within the Library, using his Inner Sonar skill, however they weren't undead. No, they moved far too deliberately and cautiously to be one of the lumbering masses outside. Another curious eavesdropper, who found out about the situation and decided to check it out? Shayde wanted to see if they could be of some help, but as they preferred to skulk about, rather than show themselves directly, he figured they only wanted to watch for now. If they were really intent on making their presence known, they would do so in time. And if they were hostile, the same would eventually happen, meaning it was meaningless to think about, especially with more pressing matters at hand; like the dead rising from the Ruins of Chungsu, and the ritual giving birth to them. Turning his attention back to the "gentleman", he was seemingly very intent on exchange of information, yet seemed so aversed to the arrival of another individual. Only the two of them remained within this section of Library, which itself was expansive, so the crowded comment didn't make much sense... Why did he want to get Shayde alone either? It's not like Shayde knew any more than this individual did. Was he in on this scheme? Someone to act as innocent bystander, and helpful stranger in order to get arrivals to drop their guard, reveal what they knew, then silence them before they became a problem? He was certainly dressed for the part, what with his "Assassin-style" outfit... Or perhaps Shayde was completely wrong, and this stranger was simply being cautious. It was understandable given the circumstances. Dead rising from the rubble, people pouring in with numerous motives, from helping those in need to plundering the well-picked corpse of Chungsu. Really, no one could be trusted... But as Shayde opted to suggest they should split up for a time, Shayde's reticence to trust the man evaporated completely, as he told Shayde the location; a monastery further inside the city, and told Shayde something he was already partly ware of, that they were not alone. Trust was a value commodity in these times, and one Shayde couldn't give freely, but with seeing this man in a new light, he decided it was a worthy investment... If only a frugal one, for the moment.

"A monastery huh?" What were the chances of that, he thought to himself.... "I think I know the one you're talking about, but I don't think I ever visited it when I lived here. Supposedly haunted if I remember right. Honestly, I preferred places like this once breathtaking Library than places of faith and religion. Lucky if I gave them a passing glance back then."

As the figure rushed off, seemingly in a hurry, and abandoning all plans of exchanging information, Shayde opted to do the same. With a clear destination in mind, he decided he should check this ritual out for himself. Talking wasn't going to stop whatever's going on in Chungsu. As Shayde exited the battered structure using the window he came in from, he quickly ascended to the highest point of the great Library, and got a clearer picture of the surrounding area. Similarly to what he saw before, the closer one got to the origin point, the "Ritual", the more zombies there appeared to be. Whether this was a defensive strategy, to bog people down with countless waves of enslaved innocents the closer they got to the ritual, reducing the chances of, or downright preventing them from reaching it and interfering, or simply a result of the center of the city being more densely populated, giving more potential undead to this apparent revival ceremony, it was unclear. The fact however remained; there were more zombies the closer one got to the Ritual. Shayde's tactic of sneaking from one alley to the next, relying on an extra-sensory method of detection simply wasn't going to cut it this time. Thinking about how best to attempt to reach the ritual, he considered the Summoning Jutsu, using a Griffin to simply fly over to the Ritual, but as it caused a loud poof due to the displacement of air using Space-Time, as well as creating a large cloud of smoke, on top of the winged beasts' tendency to cry out upon being summoned, would all be things that would get him found in an instant, and drawing the attention of the hoard was simply something he had to avoid, at least for the time-being anyway. He took another look at the City, not focusing on the dead walking the streets, but the remaining structures and features that still constituted their pathways, seeing that there were countless building that were, at least partly, still upright. Casually placing a hand over his mouth, thinking about the best way to approach the scenario, he turned his attention to the very hand he was casually making out with, and remembered;

"There's more than one way to fly..."

Chuckling to himself as he devised a simple plan to get to his destination in record time, as well as being much more "silent" that outright summoning an animal, Shayde promptly took his shirt off, expecting to hear wolf whistles, but instead only heard the constant chanting of the undead... Not the most attractive crowd, but what the heck, it was something. He tucked the shirt into his pants, as he bit into his right thumb, and reached behind his back, smearing a thin line from one shoulder blade to the other. As he channeled a relatively small amount of Chakra through his back, a series of once invisible tattoo's revealed themselves with a vibrant blue-hued light. Shayde crouched down low, and began to flex his shoulder muscles, before performing a fast movement with his shoulder blades, almost like he was pretending to have a set of wings of his own. From his prepared position, Shayde mapped out a path from his location, to the Monastery, using the broken, fractured structures of Chungsu as footholds, before suddenly leaping off the roof of the Library, performing a rapid flapping motion, and partially summoning a pair of wings from one of his Griffin companions, suspended off of the tattoo's on his back, and linked to the relative motions and position of his shoulder blades. Using the wings to break his fall, before stopping it completely, he then landed at the first of many footholds, and used the wings to propel himself to the next one, and the next, and so on. It was impossible for him to achieve sustained flight with borrowed wings, as the nature of his Jutsu was fleeting, but this way he could avoid, if not ignore the masses of zombies along the way. As he soared through the sky over the undead, employing a simple Shinobi battle tactic known as "Tanuki Gakure no Jutsu", Shayde found it difficult not to derive enjoyment from the act of flying, despite the circumstances, as got a more in-depth look at the lumbering revivified souls, and their chants of prayer. It was an odd sight, and one that filled him with mortal dread. For if this "Ritual" had already accomplished a revival of the dead on such a scale, yet the undead themselves were still engaged in some form of ritualistic, arcane, archaic chanting, then what else was to come from this ritual? It was a distressing thought to say the least, which only hastened the Uchiha's flight...

(Nintaijutsu: Sentō Shōkan no Jutsu) Ninja Body Art: Combat Summoner Technique (B-Rank (Griffin)

Type: Offensive/ Defensive/ Supplementary
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short - Mid (Depending on the size of the Summon)
Chakra: 20 - 40 (Depending on the Rank of the Summon)
Damage: 40 - 80 (Depending on the Rank of the Summon)
Description: Created by a Summoning Jutsu savant known as the Sentō Shōkan (Combat Summoner) with the specific goal of allowing the user to combine both the Summoning Jutsu and Taijutsu together, he was able to create a new form of Close Quarters Combat. In the simplest terms, the Combat Summoner technique takes the basic concept of the Summoning Jutsu and allows them to be performed in conjunction with Taijutsu. As this Jutsu has its roots set in the Summoning Jutsu, this Jutsu requires it's user to fulfil similar conditions as the Summoning Jutsu, with minor differences which are explained below. This Jutsu is primarily responsible for introducing and explaining the concept of "Combat Summoning", and acting as a reference for derived techniques, all of which will logically fall under the category of Nintaijutsu. There are 2 key aspects to the Combat Summoner technique, the first of which is the alteration to and general application of the user's Summoning Tattoo('s). Instead of being a small, easily concealed Tattoo which is utilized for instant Summoning without Hand Seals, the Tattoo is applied to the entirety of the users body. Because of this it functions like an active map of the user's body for the Summoning Technique itself, with each part of the user's body being linked to a corresponding part of their Summoning Animal's body through their Tattoo's. This allows the user to Summon the corresponding body part of their Summon by activating the Tattoo('s) located on that specific body part. The second aspect is the actual application of the technique in battle. The regular Summoning Jutsu works by signing a Contract with a specific Animal in blood, then sacrificing a small portion of blood each time the user wishes to use the Summoning Jutsu, by wiping blood on their Tattoo, then applying both Chakra and pressure to a surface via direct contact. This technique's Summoning steps are almost identical, with the only real difference being a more direct approach to the "Contact" portion. Logically the user must still apply both blood and Chakra to their Tattoo's, and make contact with a surface, the surface mainly being considered the opponent's body, before the Combat Summoning actually occurs.

The following is an example of how this Jutsu would work within a standard combat scenario; A signer of the Toad Contract performs the D-Rank Taijutsu technique "(Kodzuku) Punch" with their left fist which connects with their target, while also meeting the conditions for the Summoning Jutsu. As they channel Chakra through the Tattoo on their left arm, which also has the necessary blood wiped across it, they become able to "Summon" the left arm of their Summoning Animal to reinforce their attack, which for the purposes of this example is the B-Rank Summon, Gamatatsu. Gamatatsu's fist then almost instantly "materializes" in the area surrounding the user's left arm, similar in appearance and function to how users of the Mangekyō Sharingan can partially manifest their Susano'o's arm, appearing in the area surrounding the user, but not "overlapping" it. This means that any harmful Jutsu that the user may have active will not affect the Summoned fist, as they would not be able to make direct contact, unless the harmful Jutsu has an extended range. Gamatatsu's fist also attacks the target, following the same general speed, trajectory, etc as the users attack, creating a two pronged attack, one being the D-Rank (20 Damage) punch the user threw, and the other being the B-Rank (40 Damage) Combat Summoner punch from Gamatatsu, resulting in a total of 60 damage, should both punches successfully land without interference. Upon the completion of the attack, whether either attack was successful or not, Gamatatsu's arm disappears as quickly as it appeared, leaving the user to plan their next attack accordingly.

Note: The Combat Summoner Tattoo's are designed and applied by the user at their own discretion, requiring the user to post this Jutsu in the "Other" portion, and describe the appearance of their Tattoo's within the "Appearance" portion, of any Biography that wishes to use this Jutsu.
Note: Although the damage of this technique is taken directly from the Rank of the chosen Summon, unique effects and abilities for any Summons utilized with this technique must also be taken into consideration, whether they be a result of that Summon's Biology, or some passive ability they possess.
Note: Due to the unique method of Summoning that the Combat Summoner Jutsu utilizes, the partial Summoning method employed by the Combat Summoner Jutsu does not affect the Regular Summoning Jutsu Method. This is because the Combat Summoning method relies solely on the actions and Chakra of the user for it's activation, and thus doesn't conflict with it. However, any Animal that has been Summoned using the Regular Method, and subsequently used up their summoning time, cannot be Summoned via the Combat Summoner Method. This is because when Animals are Summoned using the Regular Method, they expend their own Chakra to maintain the Summoning, and once they run out of Chakra, typically around 4 turns later, they become unavailable to be Summoned afterwords. The Combat Summoner Method adheres to this restriction because it's based on the Summoning Animal, not the method of Summoning.
Note: Can only be taught by Iᴍᴘᴇяғᴇᴄᴛ.

With a surprising distance covered, his wings quickly expired, leaving Shayde to land on the roof of the Monastery, and apparent source of the ritual. From his vantage point, he could not only see countless corpses all huddled together in prayer, sending their archaic words to deep within the place of worship, but also the state Chungsu had degraded into over the years. The Nine Tail's attack was one thing, but the sheer rot that had infested the city to it's very core was sickening. The streets were choked with an ominous mist, which only added to the eerie atmosphere that the energy radiating from deep within the Monastery provided. The one responsible for this atrocious act, whoever they were, would pay, not just for their transgressions against the laws of nature, and the natural order of life and death, but because they did it to Shayde's home. He would make sure of it... As he refocused on the Monastery, multiple sounds echoed from deep within the structure, and outside of it, explosions from the sound of it, drawing the attention of some of the hoard, most likely towards other Shinobi and curious, invested folks. People who heard of the situation, and felt a compulsion to help, or perhaps more like the gentleman back at the Library, with his presumed knowledge boner... But as he had arrived at his destination, he took his mind off of others, and focused at the task at hand. Scanning the hallowed, hollowed structure for a point of entry that wasn't overrun and infested with droves of undead, he noticed that, on ground level, the monastery was completely surrounded, so any door or window on ground level was out of the question, at least if he didn't want to alert the masses to his presence like others were evidently doing. Finding a collapsed section of the Monastery, Shayde managed to sneak himself in by having Greed devour the bulk of the rubble, a safer option than merely shifting it, and potentially making a noise. So Shayde kept watch as his arm quickly enveloped one bit of debris after another, eventually allowing them access to the cause of Chungsu's terror. As he entered the Monastery, he had enetered through a long hallway of sorts, he reasoned that this must have been the private quarters of the place of worship, peering in to the rooms as he passed, he noticed similarly humble accommodations to the kind found up in Otohime. It was strangely comforting, despite the sense of mortal dread and fear that stagnated the air, almost causing the Uchiha to cease his breathing entirely. As he progressed further down the corridor, he heard a sudden noise ahead of him, instantly snapping to the wall, and freezing in place. It was a "Dead One", casually walking ahead of him towards the suspected source of the ritual. Their clothing marked them as some form of religious figure from this Monastery, though, with no way of knowing who this person was in life, or what God they prayed to, Shayde could only offer his sincerest condolences as he rushed up behind them, and mercifully snapped their neck, giving them as proper a send off as he could at the moment. Carefully laying the religious man to rest on the ground, ensuring to close their eyes as to try and give them as much of a sense of rest as he could, Shayde then stood up, his fist trembling with rage, continued further down the corridor. He soon saw an doorway, or opening of sorts in the wall, from which he could hear more chanting and strange sounds ahead. He could also see, among other things, a light that violently flickered, much like the energy engulfing Chungsu as a whole. He carefully crept up, slinking along the wall, until he reached the opening. This was it. End of the road... Shayde steeled himself, and activated his Sharingan, before rushing into the room...

(Doujutsu: Sharingan) Eye Technique: Copy Wheel Eye (Passive)

Type: Supplementary
Rank: C-Rank - A-Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 - 30 ( -5 per turn for 1T and 2T, 10 per turn to keep active for 3T )
Damage: N/A
Description: One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Sharingan is the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha clan. Unlike the other Dōjutsu, not all members of the Uchiha Clan possess the Sharingan. This great Dōjutsu seems to awaken only on exceptional Uchiha members and only in times of great stress. Once awaken, the pupil turns red and a single Tomoe (巴) seal appears around the center pupil. As the user masters and evolves their eyes, the Tomoe (巴) seals increase, topping 3 per eye. The main ability of the Sharingan, like any other Dōjutsu, is to enable the user to see the flow of Chakra. This ability is further improved as the Sharingan gives color to Chakra, enabling the user to differentiate Chakra's from different people or from different sources. Although the user can see Chakra through matter, he cannot see beyond dense matter or in long distances. Coupled with the ability to see Chakra, Sharingan users gain access to an incredible clarity of perception that enables them to read insanely fast movements or minor details, enabling them the ability to foresee in an easier way, traps, incoming attacks, etc. This clarity of perception is so great that a Sharingan user can sometimes start performing a counter to an attack that is still being performed, enabling the counter to be launched only a split a second after the attack. This clarity of perception leaves Sharingan users able to track high speed movement easily as well as to read through hand seals. This last ability enables them to learn techniques much faster and sometimes copy them directly from the enemy, as long as the user has the necessary Chakra affinities and requirements to perform it. Finally, the Sharingan is often linked to Genjutsu and mind-manipulating illusions, mostly because the user can, mostly through Eye Contact, directly and precisely use his Chakra to manipulate the enemy's Chakra flow. In return, the users clarity of perception gives him the ability to more easily decipher visual illusions cast upon him and see past them. The Sharingan has a great cost to the user though. The Chakra consumption disables its use for long periods of time and, even when the user grows stronger, it's still hard to keep it active for long periods of time.

Note: The user, if he hasn't gained full mastery over his Sharingan, will need to spend a move to activate it, although as long as he has Chakra and enough stamina he'll be able to keep it active until the end of the match. If the user is Sannin Rank or above and has gained his 3 Tomoe Sharingan and held it for one month, he becomes able to passively activate it, meaning he'll no longer spend a move of his 3 per turn.
Note: To avoid direct Eye Contact and be able to focus only on the body movement below the chin, the opponent needs to have mastered Taijutsu to possess the necessary skill
Note: C rank usage is for 1T Sharingan, B rank usage is reserved for 2T Sharingan. A Rank usage is reserved for 3T Sharingan.
Note: Predicting the nature of a technique or what it exactly is requires the user to either know the technique or that its a cannon technique.
Note: Danzo and Kakashi bios activate the Sharingan by removing the covers in their respective eyes and suffer a +10 Chakra consumption per turn penalty
Note: The user is bound by the abilities and limits of the stage of Sharingan he possesses, stated in the rules of the KG.

Chakra: 1590 -20 [SUP](Combat Summoner)[/SUP] -30 [SUP](Sharingan (Activation)[/SUP] = 1540.

Beginning Mission

Analyze the barrier which protects the dead body and bone fragment (A-Rank, 4)

Symmetra analyzed the words of Morrigan carefully, especially the sayings of the one known as Flemeth. Symmetra hadn't known this Flemeth but the person seemed to be very acquainted with all sorts of magic including this dark magic before us. "Maleficar , the accursed ones." The more she learned about what was happening here, the more intrigued Symmetra became about these people.

How exactly were they able to revive the dead? And these spirits... who were they, were did they come from and why are they surrounding this coffin within this barrier. There was so many questions that flew through Symmetra's mind and not even Morrigan could begin to answer them, nor had they had the time to discuss. The casket, which was enveloped in a barrier seemed to be the origin of these reanimated corpses. Why else would they choose to protect it? Symmetra stepped forward, putting her body a little ahead of Morrigan's, stating this.

Whatever, this barrier is. It can be stopped, or at least I hope it could be. It's messing with the natural order. And last time I checked, that's my job and mine alone.

She took her time inspecting the barrier from a distance to not alert the spirits that occupied it's immediate barrier. With her fuuinjutsu mastery and experience, being able to create many fuuinjutsu enhancements of her own, Symmetra mentally noted that the barrier was definitely one whose goals were to protect this casket at all costs. However, no Kanji formula existed or tag was present on the floor anywhere that the puppeteer could see. Perhaps the barrier... was originating from the coffin itself? The only way to figure this out was to engage the barrier directly.

Symmetra turned to Morrigan and said, I'll try to see what this barrier is about. Watch my back, if anything happens it'll be quite alright, I can just replace my body.

Having said this to Morrigan, Symmetra didn't know what to expect entirely. Her soul could leave her body, her body could disintegrate whole, there was no telling what exactly this barrier did or how powerful it truly was. There was no way this could go well. Symmetra stuck out her hand and activated a seal on her body which released a elongated arm that was long enough to reach the barrier from a safe enough distance. As the arm approached the barrier, it tread along the ground like a snake, ziggingand zagging to it's destination to avoid alerting the spirits. Once directly underneath the barrier, the arm shot up and touched the barrier while Symmetra activated her Barrier Shatter technique.

On contact, the barrier began to crack which sent the spirits into a frenzy. Having believed it worked, Symmetra maintained contact with the barrier to ensure its destruction. However, the barrier turned a bright red as the chants of the ethereal beings increased in intensity. The cracks on the barrier began to backtrack as if the barrier was ejecting the cracks themselves and Symmetra's chakra. The cracks continued to be ejected back to the point of contact, however the cracks began to form and race against Symmetra's hand.

The barrier reverses the effects done to it on to the caster?! She severed the elongated arm from her body before the cracks traveled to her main body and shattered her.

I've never seen anything like that. These Maleficar are something else. We can't directly engage the barrier. I don't even think that was a pure sealing art. It was almost as if it was... corrupted somehow.

After the barrier reacted the way it did, footsteps approached behind Morrigan and Symmetra. They were slowly paced by not rhythmic in nature like a living beings footsteps were. Turning around, dozens of the undead poured into the hall and there were more coming.

Morrigan, we have company.

This technique is essentially another basic application that allows the user to adjust their body as they see fit. By simply sending chakra into seals across their body up to four at max the user is able to resummon a limb if wanted and replace it with an appendage to further suit their needs or just summon an appendage from anywhere on their body. The capabilities of this technique is near limitless, but the attachments must still be logical. At most the attachments can deal up to A-rank damage however, if the user has more than one limb then the rank will be split between said limbs. If desired the user can choose to coat said limb into any elemental nature they know with the help of sealing tags that the style is composed of. The user is also able to create attachments that can act as a shield or other supplementary tasks. An example of this technique in action would be the user using it to replace one of their arms with a snake entity that can be protracted up to a foot in length and replace their other arm with one that has a sword in it; the snake can be used to restrain or grapple on to opponents depending on its rank. Like what Mutation Fist is based on it essentially allows the user to direct attacks at the enemy giving them little time to counter. Let it be noted, that these replacements will essentially become physically modified onto the user’s body and can be permanent. However, the user can always choose to passively return their body back to its original state if wanted, but if choosing to keep their modified body the user can always choose between wielding their body as freeform tools or by spending a move they can apply the damage of the rank of the technique they originally used. The user can also send chakra in up to four tags located on their limbs and resummon them, but can only last one turn and can't be used on the user's heart itself, and if doing so then the usage is equal to D-rank and five additionally chakra point are required for each limb resummoned. There is also another version of the D-rank ability that allows for the user to resummon their limbs. Instead of resummoning the limbs themselves, the user can choose to adjust the sealing tag with Fuinjutsu and with their skills in Mutation Fist and adjust the seal so that it activates on its own. The user will set the seal to activate whenever the user is faced with an opponent or attack that is moving faster than they can track and in response to this the seal will resummon the limbs that are in the way of the attack, but the user must is still only able to resummon up to four limbs. Without input from the user, the seal will have the limbs resummoned for up to one turn, but they will/can be resummoned back sooner if the threat that activate it vanishes. This version of the technique, must be posted in the user's biography as a seal and if the user decides to use this version then they are unable to resummon limbs on their own anymore. This version also takes chakra equivalent to the original version. If wanted, the user can choose to passively start a battle with certain attachments as long as it is stated in the user's biography or beginning of a battle. There is also a passive function of this technique that enables the user to produce limbs such as hands or legs in order to perform hand seals or jutsu requirements. For example, if the user's hands are preoccupied they can use this to passively produce hands in order to perform the hand seals requires for the jutsu to be activated. In no way can this be used in order to use another jutsu at the same time as the user is currently performing one. This will only allow the user to more conveniently perform the requirements for certain techniques and the process of summoning the hands and performing the jutsu requirements happens pretty smoothly. With this version the user can also create passive attachments equivalent to free form, but the attachments must still follow the rules stated above.

Note: A-rank version can only be used four times with a turn cool down between usages.

Beginning mission:

Defend yourself from multiple waves of zombies (S-Rank, 5)

It seems they were indeed as powerful as I had thought. The barrier easily retaliated and not even Symmetra who had advanced knowledge of Fuuinjutsu was capable of breaking through. How odd. However, matters became worse as it seemed our interruption of the barrier brought some unneeded attention to ourselves. From behind both me and Symmetra, a large amount of the reanimated dead starting coming towards us in a rather unorganized manner. We would have to defend ourselves, yes?

"Well, it seems we alerted them after all. I'll take care of this batch."

I state, as I walk forward. Of course, Symmetra wanted to have her fill too. And she would. The entirety of the complex was filled with these monstrosities. Mentally I command a chain to slide down my left arm as I quickly dash towards the problem ahead. Through focus and mastery, I quick bring forth several purple colored orbs that float around my body. These balls carry quite the explosive strength. Through the gestures of my hands, I could easily send them towards my foes. With a quick jab forward, the chain is unleashed and pulls the first of the reanimated corpses towards me. Its body would meet the purple orb, that easily blasts through its head. Its body easily falls to the ground. Perhaps they weren't that tough, no? Time however, proved me wrong. With the first of the bunch dispatched, it seemed my work only got a whole lot messier. With no regard for their fallen comrade, the reanimated corpses would seemingly multiply, pushing through with ease.

It seemed a large scaled technique would perhaps be needed, or perhaps I just needed some space? Confined within the hallways, taking them out to the courtyard we crossed earlier would make matters easier. Grabbing my wand, I would quickly enact a plan to move forward. Perhaps it was time to show these Maleficarum the true power of a mage. Utilizing the spell of Transfiguration, I easily transform myself into a grotesque beast. My lower body is transformed into that of a giant eight-legged spider. Their ends, sharp and deadly with a large mouth capable of devouring its pretty foul prey. The mouth contains a large amount of teeth, capable of tearing through things. The legs are easily capable of ripping through flesh. My upper body would be devoid of any clothes, however, with my hair covering my bust ever so slightly. If I must say, I look rather dashing. With my newly gained legs/appendages, I would push me forward as they press against the walls and propel me towards the horde. The legs slam against the wall, piercing the stone exterior and using it to come toward my adversaries. With a fast push, I would almost fly. As I fly through the air, two of the legs retract inward and point forward, creating a torpedo like effect. This allows me to pierce through the horde, easily ripping them apart as I open the legs midway through. My upper body still carrying my full capabilities as I manipulate the orbs to rip through the remainder of bodies, destroyed by my now spider-like body. Fully covered in guts, I felt the cold air against my chest.

Outside of the constraints of the corridor, it would seem that I had only angered them. Odd, one would think they carried no sentience nor reasoning for anger. This time however there was no corridor to limit their approach. They came from all sides. Newly gained strength and motivation to perhaps, devour me. Little did they know, that is what I aimed to do with them. With my newly gained legs serving as lances, and allowing me to rise above my adversaries, I had the advantage. As they approach in numbers from before me, I would thrust forward two legs, separating them like a meal. My hands gesture the orbs into their bodies, ripping off their dead flesh as the chains from around my arms, pull them inward. The orbs move from the sides as the chains come in from above. The orbs would take care of the lesser body parts, ribbing off limbs and parts of their abdomen while the chains would wrap around their heads and pull them in for the perfect finale. The mouth. With its razor sharp teeth and grotesque appearance, it would instill even fear into the undead. Or so I told myself. 'Twas exciting. My large spider-like body towers over them as I swing around my arms like a mad conductor.

Their approach is easily comparable to that of a fly moving into the spiders' web. Well placed and strategically pulled in to meet their demise. Their bodies easily shattered and pierced before me. However, I encounter a problem of sorts. The more that are ripped through, the more seem to come. This was indeed odd. The ones coming now had seen that approach from in front proved futile and seemed to have gained a more odd approach. Making their way into the building, some would launch themselves from higher ground aiming to land on me. Luckily, having 8 legs at my disposal, definitely made this a bit easier to handle than only having two arms. With my enhanced legs, I could pick them off as they aimed to jump onto me. The legs pierced through them and ripped them a new one, creating an undead kebab. Their bodies flung off from the legs, and firing their lifeless bodies into others approaching. Launching myself forward, I would quickly rush over them, crushing and stomping them beneath me as the artificial mouth devours them. Odd placement the mouth was. 'Twas quite humorous from above, however.

A few more flung from on high yet missed their mark and landed onto the ground, into a full sprint. Coming towards me, I quickly unleashed a chain from one side and an orb from the other. The orb would easily shatter through their legs, as the chain wraps them into one bundle, three of them. Pulling them closer slowly, I walk toward them. My eight legs bang bang against the hardened floor of the lost city, and with a single strike, one spider-like limb rips through them.

Upon close inspection it seems these were normal people at some point. While reanimated, their clothing, or what remains of it, seemed rather normal. From my heightened position, I scoured around. Where was Symmetra all this chaos? A rumbling sound initiated more to come.

(Musha Shukke Fuu: Orion no beruto) | The Warrior Monk's Way: Orion's Belt

Type: Supplementary | Offensive | Defensive
Rank: A rank
Range: Short range
Chakra: 30 (-5 per turn)
Damage: N/A (60)
Description: An initiation and often times, a technique that signifies one mastering Warrior Monk's Way. Through the utilization of their chakra, the user will form a mass of several chakra balls, around the size of a small tennis ball, around them. These balls remain in continuous movement, slowly drifting around the user. This technique acts as a basis of using the style, and allows the user to easily introduce a new chakra sphere into their body, for offensive/defensive/supplementary purposes, for other techniques. These balls can be any color (cosmetic), fitting the user. Through manipulation, the user is able to launch these chakra spheres through hand gestures, while continuously filling the lost sphere, keeping them the same amount, continuously. Through hand gestures, the user can strike the opponent with the chakra spheres. While initially far weaker than the normal technique counterparts, the user is able to launch up to 3 chakra spheres at the opponent, aimed at striking different areas at once. One chakra sphere carries the strength of C rank, and together, they carry the defensive properties of A rank. In total, the technique lasts 3 turns, and is usable 3 times, with a two turn cool down in between. The user is not able to use S rank and above Warrior Monk Way's techniques for a single turn, after this has been used.

( Transfiguration ) - Transfiguration

Type: Supplementary / Offensive / Defensive
Rank: D-S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 10 - 40
Damage: 20 - 80
Description: Transfiguration is a field of mahou that deals with changing the form and appearance of an object, animal, or person. Different to other forms of mahou in radical ways, many wizards have difficulty grasping the fundamentals of Transfiguration due to its strict nature, every aspect of the spell must be done correctly for a Transfiguration to be completed. Often requiring firm and decisive wand movements, Transfiguration mahou is (along with charms) almost the signature mahou of the Kisei, as wizards are commonly thought of as making things appear or disappear. The mahou takes the form of a beam of magical energy that ( if it successfully hits the target ) transfigures upon contact. Transfiguration is divided into four main branches/applications:

Transformation - Supplementary ( D - S )

Thought of as the most basic of the four types of Transfiguration, transformation spells focus on deforming the physical features of an object. All Transformation spells are triggered with the spell ( Permuto ). Transformations are divided within 2 types, easily seen based on their applications and targets. The first Basic Transformations, reminiscent of the Transformation and Combination jutsus, are transformations that change the physical properties of a targeted item. This allows the user to change the properties of an item to give it new traits or properties. The user is able to transfigure a solid into a liquid or another solid, a liquid into a solid or into a gas/another liquid, or a gas into a liquid or another gas, all of proportionate size and directed at speeds based on the natural speed of the item manipulated. These items can only be basic items in the sense of they cannot turn something into the properties of an element the user does not have, nor can they change the properties of something created by another Kisei unless with equal or higher power/chakra. Of course, the amount of chakra used must exceed the amount of chakra present in the object being transformed for any change unless the object has no chakra present in it at all ( like a simple chair, stone, pool of water, etc ) in which case it is transformable with a simple D rank application of the spell for small things A for larger things. With an S rank application, the user is able to transfigure his own person and take on temporary enhancements such as using mahou to transfigure his upper body into that of a shark, or his legs into that of a bear, etc, and can only lasts up to 2 turns each usage and can only be used 3 times. The second, Switching greatly resembles general transformation, but with with two main differences: firstly, the features of the two targets are switched simultaneously; secondly, the change in one of the pair is dependent on a change in the other. For example, if the armor on a statue is targeted with the user's clothes, then the two items will be "switched", akin to the outcome of Substitution jutsu. The restriction applied specifically to this type the items must be of comparative size and within mid range of one another. Transformations of any kind can only be used once every 2 turns and cannot target sentient (living) beings besides the user and their own summons. Through Switching, nothing harmful can be switched onto the opponent's body/person. Transfiguration of the terrain spreads out gradually from where the beam strikes, with only A-Rank and above uses being capable of converting the battlefield up to long-range. Transfigurations up to B-Rank can be done without the beam, using only wand movements and incantations. They can can convert a mid-range area at most but cannot be used on anything within short-range of the opponent (e.g. the mid-range area cannot extend to anything within 5 meters of the target). The beam travels slightly faster than a standard wind technique while the beamless usage manifests itself on the target, similar to Switching.

Vanishment: - Defensive ( A )

A purely "A" ranked spell, requiring the use of only a single incantation to vanish almost any object ( Evanesco ). Vanishment is the art of using Mahou to cause objects to go into a state of non being; essentially, making it so that the object does not exist anymore. While called vanishing spells, it should be noted that the title is a bit misleading; while items it makes contact with are “erased”, they do not vanish entirely from existence. When the vanishing spell makes contact, the chakra within it causes it to cause the targeted item to collapse inwards on itself, appearing to fold into space rapidly as it is destroyed. However, this branch of conjuration is unable to be used on objects infused with chakra above A rank. This also isn't capable of being used on the opponent nor any animal or living being. Upon the beam making contact, the item vanishes in a thin mist proportionate to the item vanished, a thinly veiled yet visible mist left behind that doesn’t hinder vision. Usable once every 3 turns. Target is left vanished for 3 turns.

Conjuration - Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary ( D - S )

The most difficult branch of Transfiguration, conjuration deals with the usage of Mahou to create objects from nothing. Conjurations are done with the use of the incantation (Obtestor). With a usage from D-S, the user is able to conjure anything he desires within reason from chairs to swords. However, being the most useful facet of Transfiguration, also leads conjuration to be the most restricted. Nothing within the realms of custom elements, for example, can be summoned. The user could not conjure a "sword that cuts through anything" or an unbreakable shield for example. The Conjured objects are imbued with a measure of mahou, ranging from D-S rank and guided by the user's wand at speeds up to twice as fast as the user's speed. Conjured objects last a maximum of 4 turns before automatically fading away, draining 10 chakra per turn. Additionally, the user is unable to conjure people or sentient/living beings, or anything within short range of the opponent. Additionally, when several items are conjured, the rank of said conjuration is split evenly. S ranked Conjurations can only last 3 turns and be used 3 times in all.

Untransfiguration - Supplementary ( B )

The final branch of Transfiguration magic, and perhaps the second simplest (behind transformation). Untransfiguration deals simply with undoing the effects of a previous Transfiguration, turning something back to its original state, and undoing a conjuration. The amount of magic used in the Untransfiguration is at constant rank of 'B'. Mostly used when students perform a Transfiguration incorrectly, or when the user wishes to return something to its original shape. The incantation used is ( Reparifarge).
Note: S rank applications are usable only by Year 5 Kisei and higher.
Note: After S rank variants have been used, the user cannot use any version S rank and above the next turn.
Note: Only usable by members of the Kisei clan.

Morrigan always had a thing for flashiness. Transforming her body into a giant spider devoid of clothing. After she had her fun with a horde of the undead, more came pouring into the corridor. Just how many corpses did these Maleficar revive and for what purpose. Despite all of this, Symmetra remained calm as she naturally is. She simply unleashed a scroll from her possession summoning the same puppet army that she summoned in Barisal.

Prepare to watch witness symphony.

The reincarnated were already ravenous thanks to Morrigan's antics. They lunged toward Symmetra at a fast pace with every intent of ripping her apart. As the wall of undead ran into the corridor, Symmetra met them with overwhelming force, causing a wall of puppets to collide with them. Many of these puppets had weapons, some made of chakra, some not. To describe how Symmetra dealt with the wall of zombies, she split her 100 puppet army into two groups of 50, an aerial grouping which hovered over the horde and ground forces whose goal was to hack and slash through the zombies. The ground forces were coordinated in their attack, putting the larger puppets with bludgeon based weapons in front to knock back the zombies while the bladed puppets approached from the sides.

A wave of puppets washed over the undead from either side taking their swords, spears, claws, saws etc and digging them into the flesh, rending the limbs from their bodies. The heavy puppets, knocked zombies back towards the doorway and into the pincer attack from either side slicing and dicing the zombies.

So far the tactic had been working, the aerial puppets were on standby incase the wave of zombies got too bad. Suddenly, an audible growl is heard throughout the monastery. Fast paced footsteps approached the corridor Morrigan and Symmetra was in. Quickly, many of Symmetra's puppets were attacked by multiple packs of wolves that easily used their sharp claws and fangs to bite into and rip apart some puppets with the greatest of ease. The wolves swiftly took out most of the bladed puppets numbers while suffering light hits to their own numbers and soon turned their attention onto the puppeteer. Without any regard, the Symmetra began to rain down her aerial puppets onto the flock of wolves, sacrificing her some of her puppets for pure impact damage. The impact of these puppets were forceful enough to leave craters in the corridor floor. Numerous puppets had explosive tags lined within their body so they explode on contact blasting apart the wolves while others destroyed decaying bodies by sheer impact.

The few wolves that got passed the rain of puppets were met by the larger puppets from the first set. These puppets were commanded to do wide swings to hit multiple wolves into each other sending them crashing into into the wall, breaking the wall of the corridor. Zombies continued to come into the corridor but their ferociousness and numbers dipped drastically to the point where only one or two puppets could handle the bunch.

Things seem to be calming down now. Symmetra said as she intercepted a zombie's bite with her forearm and used the tip of her clawed hand to dig into it's neck and sever its head from its shoulders, casting away the head toward one of Morrigan's spider legs.

We have to find a way to stop the revival of the undead. Although, we cut their numbers down significantly... more are rising from the ground. We have to find the Maleficar now.

Detective L · Oct 6, 2018

Daemon said:
Morrigan always had a thing for flashiness. Transforming her body into a giant spider devoid of clothing. After she had her fun with a horde of the undead, more came pouring into the corridor. Just how many corpses did these Maleficar revive and for what purpose. Despite all of this, Symmetra remained calm as she naturally is. She simply unleashed a scroll from her possession summoning the same puppet army that she summoned in Barisal.

Prepare to watch witness symphony.

The reincarnated were already ravenous thanks to Morrigan's antics. They lunged toward Symmetra at a fast pace with every intent of ripping her apart. As the wall of undead ran into the corridor, Symmetra met them with overwhelming force, causing a wall of puppets to collide with them. Many of these puppets had weapons, some made of chakra, some not. To describe how Symmetra dealt with the wall of zombies, she split her 100 puppet army into two groups of 50, an aerial grouping which hovered over the horde and ground forces whose goal was to hack and slash through the zombies. The ground forces were coordinated in their attack, putting the larger puppets with bludgeon based weapons in front to knock back the zombies while the bladed puppets approached from the sides.

A wave of puppets washed over the undead from either side taking their swords, spears, claws, saws etc and digging them into the flesh, rending the limbs from their bodies. The heavy puppets, knocked zombies back towards the doorway and into the pincer attack from either side slicing and dicing the zombies.

So far the tactic had been working, the aerial puppets were on standby incase the wave of zombies got too bad. Suddenly, an audible growl is heard throughout the monastery. Fast paced footsteps approached the corridor Morrigan and Symmetra was in. Quickly, many of Symmetra's puppets were attacked by multiple packs of wolves that easily used their sharp claws and fangs to bite into and rip apart some puppets with the greatest of ease. The wolves swiftly took out most of the bladed puppets numbers while suffering light hits to their own numbers and soon turned their attention onto the puppeteer. Without any regard, the Symmetra began to rain down her aerial puppets onto the flock of wolves, sacrificing her some of her puppets for pure impact damage. The impact of these puppets were forceful enough to leave craters in the corridor floor. Numerous puppets had explosive tags lined within their body so they explode on contact blasting apart the wolves while others destroyed decaying bodies by sheer impact.

The few wolves that got passed the rain of puppets were met by the larger puppets from the first set. These puppets were commanded to do wide swings to hit multiple wolves into each other sending them crashing into into the wall, breaking the wall of the corridor.

Attempt to disrupt the necromantic ritual (A-Rank, 4)

"You're right."

I state, swinging my spider-like leg, causing guts to be pushed off. While exciting it was rather dangerous expending this much chakra as well. However, now was not the time to care about that. The Maleficar did not stop. Who knows what else they could awake with their power, if they could bring back the dead. What were they planning to revive? The undead definitely weren't their main goal. Oh no, the dead were merely the pawns to keep us busy. To keep us occupied. They were a distraction and it worked. With this in mind, and understanding the implications before me, I utilized my skill in Mahou to turn my body back to normal. This next step required me to utilize my skills, perhaps to an extent that even I did not know I possess.

However, as seen before, nothing could be done to disrupt their process, no? Symmetra tried and almost lost a body part. But she didn't have enough time. We do now. Walking through the mesh and destruction of what seemingly seemed to be an endless amount of dead corpses, I made my way back into the building where the chants never ceased. Their process not even affected by our rampaging up and down within it. However, I had a plan in mind. 'Twas simple however whether it would work, I wasn't too sure. Either way, leaving them to their own devices would not work in the least.

Choosing to look into the barrier itself without the attacking it, I would aim to analyze how to approach this specific problem. While Symmetra looked earlier, I doubt she carried my expertise for finding what was hidden. Through a single seal, sealing formulae form around my left eye, burning into it. This causes the entirety of the ruins to go into grayscale. Quite fitting really, t'was gloomy here all things considered. The darkened area now much darker. Suddenly, it would glow from Symmetra. She was filled with a myriad of seals that adorned her body with ease. She really was prepared for anything, huh? But she wasn't the focus of my technique. The barrier before me didn't exude any sign that it had any sealing script, not even hidden. It was formed through something entirely different. Something extremely powerful and old. That even normal Fuuinjutsu could not shatter it. Perhaps there was more to it? Perhaps one required the physical body of one of the Maleficar? A sort of key to the lock?

"It seems you were indeed right. This is no barrier and goes even beyond my comprehension. If it isn't a barrier, there are chances that it isn't even made from chakra. This makes things rather difficult as I can't leech it away by any means.."

I stated. Things seemed rather detrimental for us. Despite our best efforts, we were being bested by floating Maleficar. Could we not do something?

"..perhaps then we shall bury them. Close them off and make sure whatever they are trying never escapes."

I stated, with a new plan in mind. Whatever was being revived, could not be allowed to live. No. What if it carried the same prowess as the barrier here before us? Unaffected by chakra, incapable of being disrupted by Fuuinjutsu? Perhaps not even Yin could stop such a beast. Whatever or whoever the ritual was focused on, was definitely powerful. That mere side effects of the ritual could bring forth the undead. I wasn't planning on standing around and finding out just how powerful it would be. No, I was going to bring it all down.

"Better take a step back, meet me in the courtyard."

I told Symmetra. We needed to head back from whence we came. If my plan succeeded, we would either be met with extreme resistance or simply have succeeded. There is no in between. A smiled formed on my face. Who would have thought I'd be here averting the end of the Muggle world? How things turn out tend to be rather hilarious, every now and then. With my wand in hand, and determination, I manifested forth a plan. The wand would light up as I stated the spell Permuto causing a blast to be sent out. My plan? To transfigure the entirety of the building into Liquid Nitrogen, causing it to become a frozen wasteland. Upon the initiation of the spell, I would quickly make way for the way out.

The walls would start creaking and transforming, the solid rock aiming to be turned into the highly volatile liquid. The very walls start bending, as their integrity becomes less. They bend and their color changes from a dim grey into a billowing white liquid that sizzles against the air. It exudes smoke, signifying its detrimental cold nature. The entirety of the inner room where the Maleficar were, as well as the area around it would cease to exist as it forms into Liquid Nitrogen behind me. Whether they were affected, I could not see as I made my way for the door. Despite it being my creation, it remained deadly. The cold smoke billowed into the air as the roof itself ceased to exist. Upon seeing Symmetra I merely smiled as I stated;

"Perhaps it requires a soft nudge?"

I asked, as I manifested forth what one can call the trigger. A small flame manifested within the ritual room. The chemical imbalance caused by the Liquid Nitrogen combined with its massive abundance in the building, would easily cause the reaction I wanted. Upon the manifestation of the spark an explosion is triggered. Due to the size of the chemicals hanging in the air, it would literally cause the oxygen within the room to disappear as it explodes. If they were Muggles or otherwise, they would definitely not be able to breathe. Nor would what they aim to bring back. That wasn't all. The surrounding structures seemed to shake with the explosion, causing rubble to fall onto the area. Large pillars that kept up the structure would fall toward the area. Of course, Symmetra and I would make way. We wouldn't want to be at the center of any of that. Did I succeed?

My smile was quickly dampened by a loud and more intense chanting from all over. The entirely of the area seemed to resonate with the chanting. What was this? A sudden flash, and we were seemingly affected by a wave of sorts. Could it be that the barrier still existed? Even beneath the rubble? Was it even affected? It seemed no matter what we did, we just could not take down this thing. There was another horde coming in. They felt stronger this time. However, something felt off. Was I perhaps tired? Or perhaps it could be attributed to the fact that I never ate..No. This felt..unlike anything I felt before. I felt normal. Too normal. Did that wave do something to me?

"Something feels..odd. Do you feel it too? Beside the incoming horde, of course."

I asked Symmetra sarcastically.

Sealing Technique: Dark Ecriture (Fuinjutsu: Yami no Chojutsu)

Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30 (+10/turn)
Damage Points: 10/ turn (to the user)
Description: Dark Ecriture is a technique that allows the user to detect hidden seals within the users field of vision. The technique activates using a seal of confrontation following which many sealing formula appear around the users left eye. They then begin to sink inside using the lens which itself is a painful process where the user needs to keep his eye open. Once performed the seals inside the eye filter the users vision making everything appear grayscale. All seals however that are hidden or apparent starts to glow, the user is able to see the glow even if the seals are hidden behind objects or clothes. With added focus he is able to read them identifying their purpose.
Note: Usable twice in battle, Lasts 4 turns.
-Can only detect techniques up to its own rank.

( Transfiguration ) - Transfiguration

Type: Supplementary / Offensive / Defensive
Rank: D-S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 10 - 40
Damage: 20 - 80
Description: Transfiguration is a field of mahou that deals with changing the form and appearance of an object, animal, or person. Different to other forms of mahou in radical ways, many wizards have difficulty grasping the fundamentals of Transfiguration due to its strict nature, every aspect of the spell must be done correctly for a Transfiguration to be completed. Often requiring firm and decisive wand movements, Transfiguration mahou is (along with charms) almost the signature mahou of the Kisei, as wizards are commonly thought of as making things appear or disappear. The mahou takes the form of a beam of magical energy that ( if it successfully hits the target ) transfigures upon contact. Transfiguration is divided into four main branches/applications:

Transformation - Supplementary ( D - S )

Thought of as the most basic of the four types of Transfiguration, transformation spells focus on deforming the physical features of an object. All Transformation spells are triggered with the spell ( Permuto ). Transformations are divided within 2 types, easily seen based on their applications and targets. The first Basic Transformations, reminiscent of the Transformation and Combination jutsus, are transformations that change the physical properties of a targeted item. This allows the user to change the properties of an item to give it new traits or properties. The user is able to transfigure a solid into a liquid or another solid, a liquid into a solid or into a gas/another liquid, or a gas into a liquid or another gas, all of proportionate size and directed at speeds based on the natural speed of the item manipulated. These items can only be basic items in the sense of they cannot turn something into the properties of an element the user does not have, nor can they change the properties of something created by another Kisei unless with equal or higher power/chakra. Of course, the amount of chakra used must exceed the amount of chakra present in the object being transformed for any change unless the object has no chakra present in it at all ( like a simple chair, stone, pool of water, etc ) in which case it is transformable with a simple D rank application of the spell for small things A for larger things. With an S rank application, the user is able to transfigure his own person and take on temporary enhancements such as using mahou to transfigure his upper body into that of a shark, or his legs into that of a bear, etc, and can only lasts up to 2 turns each usage and can only be used 3 times. The second, Switching greatly resembles general transformation, but with with two main differences: firstly, the features of the two targets are switched simultaneously; secondly, the change in one of the pair is dependent on a change in the other. For example, if the armor on a statue is targeted with the user's clothes, then the two items will be "switched", akin to the outcome of Substitution jutsu. The restriction applied specifically to this type the items must be of comparative size and within mid range of one another. Transformations of any kind can only be used once every 2 turns and cannot target sentient (living) beings besides the user and their own summons. Through Switching, nothing harmful can be switched onto the opponent's body/person. Transfiguration of the terrain spreads out gradually from where the beam strikes, with only A-Rank and above uses being capable of converting the battlefield up to long-range. Transfigurations up to B-Rank can be done without the beam, using only wand movements and incantations. They can can convert a mid-range area at most but cannot be used on anything within short-range of the opponent (e.g. the mid-range area cannot extend to anything within 5 meters of the target). The beam travels slightly faster than a standard wind technique while the beamless usage manifests itself on the target, similar to Switching.

Vanishment: - Defensive ( A )

A purely "A" ranked spell, requiring the use of only a single incantation to vanish almost any object ( Evanesco ). Vanishment is the art of using Mahou to cause objects to go into a state of non being; essentially, making it so that the object does not exist anymore. While called vanishing spells, it should be noted that the title is a bit misleading; while items it makes contact with are “erased”, they do not vanish entirely from existence. When the vanishing spell makes contact, the chakra within it causes it to cause the targeted item to collapse inwards on itself, appearing to fold into space rapidly as it is destroyed. However, this branch of conjuration is unable to be used on objects infused with chakra above A rank. This also isn't capable of being used on the opponent nor any animal or living being. Upon the beam making contact, the item vanishes in a thin mist proportionate to the item vanished, a thinly veiled yet visible mist left behind that doesn’t hinder vision. Usable once every 3 turns. Target is left vanished for 3 turns.

Conjuration - Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary ( D - S )

The most difficult branch of Transfiguration, conjuration deals with the usage of Mahou to create objects from nothing. Conjurations are done with the use of the incantation (Obtestor). With a usage from D-S, the user is able to conjure anything he desires within reason from chairs to swords. However, being the most useful facet of Transfiguration, also leads conjuration to be the most restricted. Nothing within the realms of custom elements, for example, can be summoned. The user could not conjure a "sword that cuts through anything" or an unbreakable shield for example. The Conjured objects are imbued with a measure of mahou, ranging from D-S rank and guided by the user's wand at speeds up to twice as fast as the user's speed. Conjured objects last a maximum of 4 turns before automatically fading away, draining 10 chakra per turn. Additionally, the user is unable to conjure people or sentient/living beings, or anything within short range of the opponent. Additionally, when several items are conjured, the rank of said conjuration is split evenly. S ranked Conjurations can only last 3 turns and be used 3 times in all.

Untransfiguration - Supplementary ( B )

The final branch of Transfiguration magic, and perhaps the second simplest (behind transformation). Untransfiguration deals simply with undoing the effects of a previous Transfiguration, turning something back to its original state, and undoing a conjuration. The amount of magic used in the Untransfiguration is at constant rank of 'B'. Mostly used when students perform a Transfiguration incorrectly, or when the user wishes to return something to its original shape. The incantation used is ( Reparifarge).
Note: S rank applications are usable only by Year 5 Kisei and higher.
Note: After S rank variants have been used, the user cannot use any version S rank and above the next turn.
Note: Only usable by members of the Kisei clan.

(Katon: Chīsana Bakuhatsu) - Fire Release: Microburst

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 30
Description: This technique allows a user to create a forward aimed and oxygen enhanced explosion. As this technique has been designed without the use of hand seals and to be performed at extremely close range, it has potential lethality if it strikes a solid hit on an opponent. It's explosive nature has been gauged to be roughly the same as an explosive tag with the explosion projected forward instead of the normal omnidirectional behavior.

Conqueror's End begins!

"It is time to bring Cassander back into this world. Come forth, Argead General. Heed our voices and bind yourself to us. Spread the terror you once knew so intimately in the name of our Master on this auspicious Conqueror's End!" The lead necromancer sternly commanded as a flash of bright light flashed through the monastery. Surrounding the dead body, and the bone fragment, black script began to materialize on the ground. Particles of dust began to coalesce on the body in the beginning stages of a completed Edo Tensei.

The four necromancers' labor had finally bore fruit; over a week of focus spent to bring forth one of the greatest generals and warriors in known history. A man who helped bring the Freehold of Hanguri to its knees, and the entire world could only watch in fear as he did so. They had ignored countless interlopers fighting against their zombie horde and had locked themselves in solitude for this moment. And then, in a climatic final flash of yellow light, the Argead General rose. Dust particles rushed to cling to the sacrifice as the bone fragment began to fuse itself with the chest cavity.

But then suddenly a maelstrom of flames burst from the body. "Something went wrong!" The second necromancer shouted amidst the chaotic flames erupting from the body.

Moments after, the flames dispersed. The necromancers could clearly make out Cassander. Towering within the barrier that housed the body and fragment, the General wore the very same armor he slaughtered thousands in over a century ago. They remained silent, fixated on the summoning they had brought forth into the living world. Their heads crooked in confusion, noticing that he lacked a head. In its place was a perfectly formed skull, with demonic eyes staring back at them. "Bind myself to you? A laughable idea! You four are nothing but failures! Your lack of vision caused your ritual to fall short of encompassing a being such as myself. But nonetheless...." He stretched his hands behind his head, feeling out the body he had been summoned with. "This is an auspicious Conqueror's End indeed...." Cassander then clapped his hands together, causing the barrier which the necromancers erected to disperse. Then, in a plume of smoke Cassander used his Fission technique. From the original, three new Cassanders were formed; now his power to spread chaos had increased four fold. Of the new Cassanders, one was astral and two were physical. Then, in a maelstrom of lightning, the Cassanders disappeared.

Only the leader of the group could muster up words to break the silence. "We failed to account for the Argead Blessing. That is the only explanation for being able to defy our ritual, and alter his body. But it isn't a complete failure. He is true to his nature, and will spread chaos even without our input. For the time being, let's go into hiding...." With that said, each necromancer bowed their head and dispersed their astral forms. As they did so, the zombies in the Ruins of Chungsu dispersed. Roaming off in random directions to spread terror throughout the world.

Note: Sorry Vegeta and Never, I have ADHD.

'****.' Sado thought to himself. He had been trying to direct Lena to go do what she mentioned back in Shinramoto only to notice she still wasn't here. He wasn't sure where she was, but she wasn't here and that's all he knew. Maybe she had circled around Shinramoto to find Topaz, he didn't know but he was already caught up in himself and what he was doing. Where were those bandits? Lena wanted to save them. Sado tried to remember back to the first day Smith the clone Sado had sent here a month or so ago had entered the Ruins of Chungsu.
He had met Lena and Topaz as they were exiting the deeper portions of the ruins from what he could remember. He shook his head back and forth vigorously trying to shake himself out of thinking but something pulled him toward helping those people. People he didn't even know. His attention was divided as the second wave of undead inched closer as a shambling mass of bodies dragging themselves over each other to get to the noise he was making.

Damn it. I didn't sign up to give a shit.

As he said that aloud to himself he lifted his hand upward directing Asmodeus on what to do. With the swaying of his right hand, Sado caused the creature to cry out with bestial fury as the Red Sand around its mouth condensed into a torrent that pierced forward as a rushing mass of pressurized Red Sand. In unison to this Sado tossed two kunai with tags upon them into the torrent of Red Sand as they both imploded releasing more Red Sand into the billowing mass of particles.
Together it blasted forward striking numerous undead reducing another group of about twenty to smears of flesh and blood across the ground, but more were shambling forward now a mere ten meters away from Asmodeus and Sado. Sado grunted in exasperation at this situation. Those people meant nothing to him but he had a sinking sensation in his gut scratching at the inside of his body welling up from inside telling him to deviate from his current path to go help. They could be useful, he rationalized. An obvious excuse, but it was enough for him to make a decision.
It was the perfect time to make that decision because as he did the music began to die off as the first song came to an end, he heard masculine voices in the distance. Roughly a hundred meters or so in a north-eastern direction. It was around where he remembered Smith meeting Lena and Topaz. He did two things, first he turned upon his right foot pivoting his body and turning in the direction of the bandit community, second he directed Asmodeus to passively lash out again as he struck forward with his arms tearing through another twenty or so undead scooping them up and tossing them back about twenty meters reducing them to pieces that spread across the field to the north-west. It was about this time that Salazzle noticed what was happening and spoke poking fun at Sado's action.

The self-proclaimed "demon" is growing a heart. Hm?

Sado replied in a somewhat harsh tone.

I've always had one-... but it just gets in the way of rational decision making. Like right now.

(Nirro Suna: Nesasu no Asumodeusu) Red Sand Release: Asmodeus of Nessus

Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 40 ( -10 per turn )
Damage points: 80 ( +20 Tags ) ( +20 SM ) = 120
Description: The user will perform three handseals their chakra into the ground. From this massive amount of chakra the user causes Red Sand to form and then erupt upward from the ground buckling it and cracking it as a massive creature made out of Red Sand rises from the ground. The creature will be completely made out of Red Sand and is able to protect the user from incoming techniques while also being able to attack. Once per turn passively the creature can lash out with it's arms or body to smash or crush anything in it's path with the sheer weight and size of their body. It not only can attack a target physically by lashing out in various ways to attack the enemy in a freeform manner it can attack at range. It does this by shooting from it's mouth a highly pressurized torrent of Red Sand with enough potential and strength to pierce through techniques that Red Sand is strong to (A-rank in strength). This can be done once per turn with a two turn cool down and costs a move slot, twice per battle. Any Red Sand that touches human or animal flesh is able to cause third degree burns. If there is a red sand source available the creature can use it to reform itself from damage it could have taken while being used but it counts as a move slot. However unlike the reformation ability mentioned above this doesn't cost any chakra needing only a source of Red Sand to accomplish After the creature is done or if it's broken down due to a clash with a stronger technique the creature will disperse itself throughout the air causing a massive source of Red Sand to form leaving red sand all over the battle field up to mid range.
Note: Usable twice a battle and needs a two turn cool down while no other Red Sand jutsus can be used during the cool down. After it's dispersal.
Note: The user cannot use any techniques other than Red Sand techniques while sustaining the creature.
Note: The torrent of Red Sand and the reformation abilities each cost a move slot but can be used in the same timeframe as another technique due to originating from the creature instead of the user.
Note: Creature can last for three turns

(Akai Sabaku no Tagu) - Tags of the Red Desert

Type: Supplementary
Rank: N/A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: N/A (-5 per tag)
Damage: N/A ( +20 to paper ninjutsu, tag based ninjutsu or Red Sand Techniques )
Description: These tags were created by Korra to use in conjunction with her Paper Ninjutsu and are a replacement for the explosive tags a shinobi usually carries thus making them passive. These tags are red in color with a desert/sand look with 漠 on the middle. The tags contain red sand in them and can be detonated by the user merely through thought. The sand in the tags help give the user a source of red sand throughout the battle field. Each single tag contains enough red sand to support a D rank Red Sand technique. The user can use the red sand from the tags for other Red Sand techniques but only if enough tags go off for example the remainders of a single tag can support a D rank technique. The remainder of two tags can support a C rank etc. If used alongside basic ninjutsu that summons Explosive Tags like Hidden Explosive Tags Technique, or that uses Explosive tags that technique is considered a Red Sand technique and will release Red Sand upon detonation. These tags can also be used alongside Red Sand techniques by funneling them into the formation of a technique empowering a Red Sand technique allowing it to overcome it's usual weaknesses as when it clashes with another technique the tags will detonate releasing more Red Sand and increasing the strength of that technique enough to overcome it's weakness.
Note: Must post this in the user bios to be able to use them or post them in the start of the battle and cannot be utilized alongside other seals to increase tag damage.

Moving forward in the direction of the bandit camp and the clamor he turned to look for his allies. He was stupid and driven by ego. If he could be seen as a hero he wanted to be. His appearance meant everything to him, but he needed an audience or the whole performance was for naught. Getting closer to the community he began to see various undead locked in combat with a group of bandits trying to hold a position down. They had crafted a small fortified area but it was being overwhelmed by the stragglers that had not been drawn by Sado's loud and boisterous activities.
The undead must have been drawn to the grunts and yells caused by the fighting men as they tried to hold the undead at bay with swords and their fists. Sado growled in a grating and jarring tone as a few of the undead turned to face him realizing there was another tempting creature on the field. Sado quickly called out to the closest group of bandits. He could sense numerous small chakra signatures deeper inside of the fortified location. There were too many for him to estimate.

Oi, I'm here to help you evacuate. Do you think you can make it to Shinramoto from here?

The first to call back was an older man, his tone was hard and broken. He had unkempt white hair and a braided white beard that hung down to his chest. He slashed forward with his sword cutting through an undead like it was paper as it's guts spilled out from it covering the ground in front of the man. He didn't want help, he didn't need help. He was proud in his speech and rebuffed Sado's offer. His rejection was quickly backed up by three or so more of the bandits near him who chimed in that they were doing just fine on their own they didn't need a shinobi to help.
The way the group spoke conveyed that they didn't want help from a shinobi, nor did trust them or want their charity. They all rallied behind the older man who seemed to hold a lot of sway over the other bandits. 'Damn idiots' was all that Sado could think.

We don't need help from your kind. We've got by on our own up til now.

Your kind divided this world, not us. We're just trying to keep our piece.

Sado had to think of how to sway the minds and hearts of these people. They were stubborn, he needed to convince them that he was on their side and they could find refuge in Shinramoto with their ally Topaz. Topaz, that's right Sado knew of one of their allies. Maybe he could talk them down off of the metaphorical ledge they were one.
It was now that he had wished Lena was here doing this. His plan was to break shit, destroy the undead and crush their ranks. Not negotiating with an old dude who couldn't get past himself enough to retreat. The undead was beginning to pile up now, Sado wasn't thinning them out down to the south-west anymore because he was here so they were beginning to rush upward toward the current loudest noise. Which unluckly at the moment was this group.

Topaz, I know Topaz. He's in Shinramoto.

Sado exhaled hard as he thought of what he could say. What would convince these people to follow him, to retreat and save themselves? He needed to show them that they were the same. He looked back behind him and realized that there was another incoming wave of undead pushing their way past Asmodeus. It was too far away for him to command right now so it was idle. He had to convince this old dude and his group that the divide wasn't as big as he thought. That Sado was a good guy here to help for free. Even though it wasn't exactly for "free" he was doing this to keep his alliance with Lena and to strengthen the foothold inside the Tea Peninsula. Was that why he decided to help these people. Then the words started to come to him and he was speaking. They seemed honest, even if Sadow as making it up as he went. He didn't know what he was saying, he was just good at bullshiting in a convincing way.

-... and I don't see a divide between the shinobi of this world and the common men and women without the power to be called shinobi like you. The division I see is the division between the shinobi that like the world divided and the rest of us. I see it everywhere I go. I see it when a shinobi uses their ninjutsu to burn down an entire settlement instead of building it up with that very same ninjutsu. I see it in the moments when they show you that you're weaker because they feel threatened by what makes you strong. I see it when a Shogun gives guns to their conscripted army of common folk, bandits, mercenaries, and farmers. So that we're all too busy fighting each other to fight the real injustices like totalitarianism. I see it on the farmlands where common folk work for a fraction of a shinobi's Ryo. Even though those same shinobi do nothing but promise protection, from their own reckless actions. This world's problem isn't weak people or strong shinobi. This world's problem is the shinobi feeding on the dying world around them, but I've got a message for them. From the shinobi keeping this world alive, a message from the shinobi that believe in this world to the shinobi that don't; you're outnumbered.

Finishing off the last sentence Sado turned on his heel to face the incoming horde that was now only ten or so meters away from him. He called back toward the bandits with a defined and authoritative tone. They had cleared off the few undead that were here right now, but another much larger wave of at least one-hundred were approaching in a mass of death and motion. GO! NOW! I'LL COVER YOU! There's a man to the south-west from where I came from. His name is Vegeta, ask him to take you to Lena of Shinramoto. Tell him Sado sent you, and that if he doesn't see him again-... that he was his first real friend in this world.
As he said that Sado did a few things in unison the first thing he did was he began to concentrate chakra into his legs supplementing it with Red Sand. He waited motionless until the horde was ten meters away, now five meters away. They would be upon him in a second. The group of bandits behind him saw this and the five or so men who were defending the fortification called inward gathering up the rest of the group. They had one choice, retreat the older man who initially had a problem with charity and help nodded toward Sado.

Don't go dyin. I don't know you, but you seem like a reckless bastard.

I like reckless bastards like you boy, hell I was one in my youth.

The bandits and their community of about seventy-five or eighty other people of varying shapes and sizes began to retreat downward toward the south-west. They began to shuffle out of the fortified encampment trying to rush away as quietly as possible. As they went on their way music began to play again drawing in more of the undead picking up their attention and drawing it upon Sado as they began to swarm and gather around him for what seemed to be a cheap meal. 'Bad idea' Sado thought as he performed the next motion.
Sado kicked upward with his right leg performing a spinning roundhouse kick while in unison he released all of the building chakra creating a swirling mass of Red Sand. It quickly pulled together encapsulating Sado in a sea of red dust as the momentum carried it outward roughly five meters around him in all directions.
This action created a massive dust storm around his area as the Red Sand coalesced into a roaring dragon that was long and slender. The initial gust of Red Sand tore through numerous undead eviscerating about two or three dozen of them as the dumb creatures continued marching forward trying to enter into the defensive construct. The Red Sand continued to pour forth as the dragon slammed downward tearing through several dozens more undead the sharp gusts of Red Sand tearing them apart and flinging their pieces across the field like a shower of blood and viscera mixed with dust and heat.

( Konoha Ryūjin ) - Leaf Dragon God

Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A-rank ( S )
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60 ( +20 Tags ) ( +20 Desert Sparda ) = 100
Description:
This is an ultimate taijutsu technique created by the legendary taijutsu master Chen. It appears to be initiated by an upward spin kick at which point it quickly becomes like tornado. Forming into a dragon with long whiskers, it attacks the target aiming to swallow them, at which point they are cut by the razor sharp air currents inside the attack. After initiating the attack, the user appears to remain shielded within the base of the tornado as the outward surface of the dragon seems to be solid enough for a person to impact and rebound off of, making the only way to enter the technique once it has been initiated is by being swallowed. However, there is one distinct weakness to the technique. Since the Dragon God's real form (and what it basically is) is that of an ordinary tornado, though cosmetically shaped into a dragon, its attack power is based on rotation. If one enters the attack's centre (Dragon's Eye) while rotating at high speed, such as Lee's One-Man Front Lotus, it can be dispersed without inflicting damage. The technique, while seemingly similar to Wind Release, is actually just the users own physical power (through the use of the spinning kick) shaping the air into currents through movement. It is, however, enough to fight off elemental ninjutsu of the same rank and below.
Note: Can only be used by Taijutsu Specialists and EIG users

(Niiro Suna: Sabaku no Hōtō) Red Sand Release: Desert Sparda

Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60 ( +20 Tags ) ( +20 SM ) = 100
Description: The user releases Red Sand as he punches, kicks or uses a taijutsu motion which allows for blasts of Red Sand to be incorporated into free-form taijutsu and taijutsu usage. The user can also perform arm motions such as waving of the arms in an arc like motion or kicking of the legs in swift motions to release crescent arc-like blasts, blades, waves or torrents of Red Sand allowing the user to attack the opponent from a moderate distance such as Mid Range. The blasts and arcs hold enough force behind them to knock the opponent back as well as possibly bruise the internal organs but it's real damages comes in due to the heat and properties of the Red Sand. This justsu is more of a way to create openings in the opponent's stance or exploit openings or weak points in the opponent's stance. The Red Sand follows the strengths and weaknesses found in the element itself causing the taijutsu technique to have the strengths and weaknesses of Red Sand.
Additionally by supplementing basic or elemental chakra from taijutsu with Red Sand the user is able to instead empower that technique with Red Sand causing more damage than it usually would have on it's own. This is because when the Red Sand hits a person it will pierce into or through the body causing deep burns and slashes as well as when it comes against other techniques it will have the strengths of Red Sand. This potential for damage and additional Red Sand increases the rank of taijutsu techniques by one up to S rank with S ranks or Forbidden techniques it increases the damage by ten but doesn't effect the rank. An example of what this can do is if it is used alongside something like (Konoha Ryūjin ) - Leaf Dragon God instead of using the basic chakra they release to create gale winds and an air current based dragon through the initial kick they can release a massive amount of Red Sand with the kick creating a Red Sand dragon in it's stead.
Note: Cannot use any other Red Sand jutsu the turn this is used
Note: The user can only create four blasts, arcs or waves with each use, with the total power divided between them.
Note: Can only be used alongside taijutsu once per turn with a one turn cool down. Can only be used thrice per battle.

The dragon finally died off and Sado looked around himself to see what was left. The group was far off in his periphery vision as he darted forward following behind them picking off any undead that remained by forming three hand seals and sending out a few scythe-like tools tearing through any undead that tried to follow. His objective was to try and return these people to Vegeta and Trunks, and Lena if she had arrived yet.
Due to his ADHD, Sado was excessively impulsive and couldn't wait. He actually thought for a moment he might die there. He laughed a bit at that thought as Salazzle who was with him the entire time cracked him on the back of the head. This stopped him from laughing as he realized she was actually there with him. He had forgotten in his one-track mind that he now kept his summon with him at all times.

Next time you plan on making yourself a martyr, leave me back home, ya goof.

Description: The user can form strong tools out of Red Sand either by creating a source with this jutsu or manipulating an already existing source, these include; kunai, swords, pillars, shields etc. However B rank will need one hand seal, A rank will need two hand seals and S rank will need three hand seals. The tools will be able to repel water and other liquids and the sand is heated significantly giving them a burning property. The heat from the tools are enough to cause third degree burns to human skin on contact and cause deep searing wounds. The user himself doesn't directly touch the tools therefor he is unaffected by the heat of them. The tools can only be created short range from the user if the technique is used to create its own source of red sand. As a defensive mechanism the user is able to produce Red Sand directly from their body in a large enough quantity to push hazardous substances such as liquid, oil, fire, mud, etc away and off of them.

Starting new mission, using an Element from the Conqueror's End Prologue;

- Defeat a horde of zombies without using your ninjutsu (5)
- Save a large community from danger (5)
- Guard someone very important (5)

Summary: After convincing Topaz to come along with her, Lena arrives in Chungsu to see the evil that had been summoned from the ruins. Noticing that she needs to save Topaz's Bandit Community that lives in chungsu from danger, she would also have to guard him and Sado from biting the dust.

Coming from

Upon Songbird Lena flies over the wall of Chungsu that connected with Shinramoto, she was a lot of activity in the distance, not just from the bandit community and Sado but in the distance and different locations. She focused on the issue at hand, close to her, moving towards the wall of Chungsu she noticed a large line of people fighting and backing away, but as they tried to get away hungry, shambling creatures moved towards them from various directions. A powerful aura had swept Chungsu from the large building of a monastery and things felt worse, Lena could actually feel it - roaring and the stench of death. Lena looked at Topaz who couldn't take his eyes off his people, they were getting close enough to save them and Topaz was itching to jump from this perch and kill all these monsters.

Songbird was now directly above the Bandit community, Topaz didn't take a moment and had already leaped off of the side and was falling down, he landed on a tall building and traversed the rubble down to them as they took what paths they could make there way through. Topaz had already cut down a couple of the undead that were trying to crawl or shamble through the ruins from the hiding of
the rubble.

The older man with the white braided beard exclaimed happily as Topaz impaled a Zombie against a rock right behind him, saving him. Though it was short lived as there exit was cut off by more zombies, but their strongest fighters were covering the back sides - from the front the screams were loud. Topaz tried to traverse his way to the front but since they were cut off from moving the back was getting overrun again and then from the cracks of the rocks zombies started to pour in from the sides and fall from the buildings.

"Noooo!" Topaz was scared for his community, more death and destruction he didn't want, he just wanted to get them to safet...

BOOM

BOOOM

BOOOOOM

An array of cards hit the ground around the community and exploded, sending undead limbs and guts flying. Lena had communicated a plan with Songbird and the he had flown off whilst she had jumped off and let him go. She lands at the front of the community, metal cards circled and levitated around her wrists and torso - it was time to show what she was really made of.

The zombies piled towards her as she was no the closest bit of flesh in front of them, however their joy would be short lived if they actually bit into her - being basically undead herself. Lena charged them, throwing a couple of punches which were strong enough to cave in their frail skulls, but with each punch a few cards were launched passively in an attempt to embed themselves into the heads of other zombies. Lena jumped up and planted both her feet on the Zombie's head, crushing it into itself whilst swinging her arms outwards, releasing a barrage of cards around her, any zombies shambling passed to get the the community would be cut down by this attack. She leaps off the shoulders of one of her undead victims and performs a move very similar to break-dancing, sweeping zombies off their feet whilst also using her cards to cut down those just outside of her range, it was as if the breakdancing movements commanded the cards.

She managed to get herself into a crouching position, but doesn't stop moving, using it as a way to spring herself. She crosses her arms over her chest and throws out a final barrage of cards that with uncontested precision and accuracy, sliced through the skulls of zombies and all their corpses collapsed to the ground.

"Everyone, Run for your Lives."

Her voice wasn't a shout, but it carried the weight of a screaming drill sergeant. The people at the front began to run towards the broken walls of Chungsu as was their exit, as they did Lena's passively controlled metal cards escorted them in that direction, any Zombie that would suddenly pop out would be ended by one of the escorting cards.

Lena lets them run passed her, she turns around and moves towards the back - she meets with Topaz and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Stay at the front, lead them to Mori. If I get back to any funny business you all die."

Lena let slip a smile and Topaz nodded in response, she threatened them but when they first met before she never would have offered Mori - her home as a place for this group of bandits to go. But she must've had faith, even if it was tiny, in Topaz. He ran passed her and she looked on at the oncoming horde, she grinned at them - capable of taking out some of her frustrations on these undead crap-sacks. Lena clapped her hands against the decks of cards against her waist and pulled her hands up by her sides, cards floated between the decks and her palms neatly - she then suddenly crosses her arms over her chest and the cards spin around her in parallel unison. They closed in around her...

Meanwhile, Songbird had found Sado - he flies down from behind him, noticing the Zombies closing in the bird sweeps down and mows down a line of them with it's rock solid shell of a body. The bird then grabs Sado by the shoulders with it's talons and pulls him into the air - to some kind of safety. Songbird lets out a loud caw and turns around, flying upwards. If Sado wanted to get upon the bird, Songbird would release it's grip and was now aiding Sado from this point. It was sort of like a trade of summons.

Note: If this is too late the last post can be considered the ending I just wanted to cap it off.

Hold me steady for a moment. Sado said as he was picked up from his position. An immense amount of zombies rushed into the area where Sado used to be creating a pile of at least one-hundred of them as they tried to climb over each other to reach Sado who was being pulled upward by Songbird. They were beginning to group together in a mass of writhing flesh and stench.
Twenty of them were able to climb up above the other undead creating a wave of upward sliding dead. They were reaching up for the bottoms of Sado's feet as he extended his right arm down to them with his palm open. As Songbird continued to fly away with him Red Sand began to materialize an inch away from the palm of his hand forming a large sphere of Red Sand the size of a Sage Art: Oodama Rasengan dwarfing Sado's own body.
With the command called out to Songbird to hold him, steady Sado released the orb of Red Sand as it rushed forward like a gunshot with a loud booming noise cutting through the air and flying in toward the wave of undead who were now turning toward the fleeing bandits. Sado couldn't let all that work go to waste he thought as he threw two more tags in behind the Shell Bullet with the kunai stabbing into the technique as it drew in the exploding tags causing the Shell Bullet to grow a bit larger.
Finally, as it got into short range of the undead the singular massive orb burst into one-hundred smaller orbs that slammed into and subsequently through the undead. Like one-hundred headshots, all at once their heads were blown off as their bodies were hit by the exploding Red Sand orbs destroying most of their bodies leaving more body parts that spread around the area in a spray of blood and viscera.

Okay, you can drop me now.

I can handle it from here.

Salazzle screamed outward toward the bird carrying them.

Don't you DARE DROP US!

DON'T YOU LISTEN TO HIM! HE'S BEEN DOING THIS SHIT SINCE WE GOT HERE!

He thinks he can ignore me and I'll just shut up, but obviously, he hasn't met me yet if he thinks that.

This was when Songbird released his grip and Sado squirmed free falling back down toward the ground. He tucked his arms inward toward his lower body as he released any of the fleeting Red Sand techniques. This opened him up to use any other techniques he wanted but cut him off from using Red Sand for two turns due to both the technique he just used and Asmodeus which dispersed coating the ground with a thin layer of Red Sand. It clung to the undead causing damage to them and burning their bodies covering them in third degree burns where the flesh would be caused to slough and singe off of the flesh. As he began to fall down it seemed as if he was going to hit the ground nearly at terminal velocity. Salazzle yelled out again looking back toward Songbird.

I TOLD NOT TO DROP US.

Chakra: 30 (+10 to sustain per turn)
Damage: 60 (when used to attack)
Description: A member of Jugo's clan uses their Sage Transformation ability to form two fleshy bat-like wings on his back. These wings can sustain flight and can be sustained for an entire battle as long as he remains conscious. The wings can be used to attack the opponent directly using sharp hook like growths from their tips, these hooks are claw-like in nature. Like most of the Jugo clan's jutsu these can be sustained as long as he has enough chakra to do so. The user can create boosters on their back once per battle that last for three turns. The boosters can be used to avoid incoming techniques by quickly changing the user's trajectory and moving them out of the way just like the Jet Booster Jump technique. This can only be done thrice per battle and counts as a move each time but can be done in the same timeframe as another technique. The user flies at their current running speed.

Note: Can only be used thrice.
Note: The boosters can only be maintained for three turns and created once, the wings can be sustained indefinitely.
Note: Courtesy of Howard

Before she could finish her sentence Sado formed wings on his back as he used them to stabilize himself his body flying up slightly as his body was carried across the ground only a few feet above it. He extended his right hand and ran his fingers across the hard ground extended it and grabbed another undead creature that was making it's way to Lena and the fleeing bandits.
He moved south-west toward Vegeta, Trunks, and Lena as he used his left hand to tear the head of the undead from its body dropping the body back to the ground. Moments after he dropped the head back to the ground landing on the ground next to Vegeta ahead of the group. He watched as they evacuated toward Shinramoto. He maintained his wings in case he wanted to continue to fly at any time.

When we're done here I think I'm going to stop off at the marketplace.

Sado spoke nonchalantly like they weren't on a battlefield polluted with numerous undead.

Howard · Oct 6, 2018

With things wrapping up here Sado seemed to walk away toward the water and in the general direction of Keishi

I'll meet you all back in Shinramoto in a day or two.

I'm checking the market and on something else of importance.

He continued onward across the waves and water until he vanished in the distance.

After thinking a while, Trunks realizes that he needs to help spread the word of this occurance. There was no way this would be held to this land alone, so evacuations were in order. Maybe he could spread word at the world's central information hub: the market, Trunks thinks before announcing this to Lena and Vegeta before heading the same direction as Sado.

Detective L said:
Attempt to disrupt the necromantic ritual (A-Rank, 4)
"You're right."

I state, swinging my spider-like leg, causing guts to be pushed off. While exciting it was rather dangerous expending this much chakra as well. However, now was not the time to care about that. The Maleficar did not stop. Who knows what else they could awake with their power, if they could bring back the dead. What were they planning to revive? The undead definitely weren't their main goal. Oh no, the dead were merely the pawns to keep us busy. To keep us occupied. They were a distraction and it worked. With this in mind, and understanding the implications before me, I utilized my skill in Mahou to turn my body back to normal. This next step required me to utilize my skills, perhaps to an extent that even I did not know I possess.

However, as seen before, nothing could be done to disrupt their process, no? Symmetra tried and almost lost a body part. But she didn't have enough time. We do now. Walking through the mesh and destruction of what seemingly seemed to be an endless amount of dead corpses, I made my way back into the building where the chants never ceased. Their process not even affected by our rampaging up and down within it. However, I had a plan in mind. 'Twas simple however whether it would work, I wasn't too sure. Either way, leaving them to their own devices would not work in the least.

Choosing to look into the barrier itself without the attacking it, I would aim to analyze how to approach this specific problem. While Symmetra looked earlier, I doubt she carried my expertise for finding what was hidden. Through a single seal, sealing formulae form around my left eye, burning into it. This causes the entirety of the ruins to go into grayscale. Quite fitting really, t'was gloomy here all things considered. The darkened area now much darker. Suddenly, it would glow from Symmetra. She was filled with a myriad of seals that adorned her body with ease. She really was prepared for anything, huh? But she wasn't the focus of my technique. The barrier before me didn't exude any sign that it had any sealing script, not even hidden. It was formed through something entirely different. Something extremely powerful and old. That even normal Fuuinjutsu could not shatter it. Perhaps there was more to it? Perhaps one required the physical body of one of the Maleficar? A sort of key to the lock?

"It seems you were indeed right. This is no barrier and goes even beyond my comprehension. If it isn't a barrier, there are chances that it isn't even made from chakra. This makes things rather difficult as I can't leech it away by any means.."

I stated. Things seemed rather detrimental for us. Despite our best efforts, we were being bested by floating Maleficar. Could we not do something?

"..perhaps then we shall bury them. Close them off and make sure whatever they are trying never escapes."

I stated, with a new plan in mind. Whatever was being revived, could not be allowed to live. No. What if it carried the same prowess as the barrier here before us? Unaffected by chakra, incapable of being disrupted by Fuuinjutsu? Perhaps not even Yin could stop such a beast. Whatever or whoever the ritual was focused on, was definitely powerful. That mere side effects of the ritual could bring forth the undead. I wasn't planning on standing around and finding out just how powerful it would be. No, I was going to bring it all down.

"Better take a step back, meet me in the courtyard."

I told Symmetra. We needed to head back from whence we came. If my plan succeeded, we would either be met with extreme resistance or simply have succeeded. There is no in between. A smiled formed on my face. Who would have thought I'd be here averting the end of the Muggle world? How things turn out tend to be rather hilarious, every now and then. With my wand in hand, and determination, I manifested forth a plan. The wand would light up as I stated the spell Permuto causing a blast to be sent out. My plan? To transfigure the entirety of the building into Liquid Nitrogen, causing it to become a frozen wasteland. Upon the initiation of the spell, I would quickly make way for the way out.

The walls would start creaking and transforming, the solid rock aiming to be turned into the highly volatile liquid. The very walls start bending, as their integrity becomes less. They bend and their color changes from a dim grey into a billowing white liquid that sizzles against the air. It exudes smoke, signifying its detrimental cold nature. The entirety of the inner room where the Maleficar were, as well as the area around it would cease to exist as it forms into Liquid Nitrogen behind me. Whether they were affected, I could not see as I made my way for the door. Despite it being my creation, it remained deadly. The cold smoke billowed into the air as the roof itself ceased to exist. Upon seeing Symmetra I merely smiled as I stated;

"Perhaps it requires a soft nudge?"

I asked, as I manifested forth what one can call the trigger. A small flame manifested within the ritual room. The chemical imbalance caused by the Liquid Nitrogen combined with its massive abundance in the building, would easily cause the reaction I wanted. Upon the manifestation of the spark an explosion is triggered. Due to the size of the chemicals hanging in the air, it would literally cause the oxygen within the room to disappear as it explodes. If they were Muggles or otherwise, they would definitely not be able to breathe. Nor would what they aim to bring back. That wasn't all. The surrounding structures seemed to shake with the explosion, causing rubble to fall onto the area. Large pillars that kept up the structure would fall toward the area. Of course, Symmetra and I would make way. We wouldn't want to be at the center of any of that. Did I succeed?

My smile was quickly dampened by a loud and more intense chanting from all over. The entirely of the area seemed to resonate with the chanting. What was this? A sudden flash, and we were seemingly affected by a wave of sorts. Could it be that the barrier still existed? Even beneath the rubble? Was it even affected? It seemed no matter what we did, we just could not take down this thing. There was another horde coming in. They felt stronger this time. However, something felt off. Was I perhaps tired? Or perhaps it could be attributed to the fact that I never ate..No. This felt..unlike anything I felt before. I felt normal. Too normal. Did that wave do something to me?

"Something feels..odd. Do you feel it too? Beside the incoming horde, of course."

I asked Symmetra sarcastically.

Sealing Technique: Dark Ecriture (Fuinjutsu: Yami no Chojutsu)

Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30 (+10/turn)
Damage Points: 10/ turn (to the user)
Description: Dark Ecriture is a technique that allows the user to detect hidden seals within the users field of vision. The technique activates using a seal of confrontation following which many sealing formula appear around the users left eye. They then begin to sink inside using the lens which itself is a painful process where the user needs to keep his eye open. Once performed the seals inside the eye filter the users vision making everything appear grayscale. All seals however that are hidden or apparent starts to glow, the user is able to see the glow even if the seals are hidden behind objects or clothes. With added focus he is able to read them identifying their purpose.
Note: Usable twice in battle, Lasts 4 turns.
-Can only detect techniques up to its own rank.

( Transfiguration ) - Transfiguration

Type: Supplementary / Offensive / Defensive
Rank: D-S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 10 - 40
Damage: 20 - 80
Description: Transfiguration is a field of mahou that deals with changing the form and appearance of an object, animal, or person. Different to other forms of mahou in radical ways, many wizards have difficulty grasping the fundamentals of Transfiguration due to its strict nature, every aspect of the spell must be done correctly for a Transfiguration to be completed. Often requiring firm and decisive wand movements, Transfiguration mahou is (along with charms) almost the signature mahou of the Kisei, as wizards are commonly thought of as making things appear or disappear. The mahou takes the form of a beam of magical energy that ( if it successfully hits the target ) transfigures upon contact. Transfiguration is divided into four main branches/applications:

Transformation - Supplementary ( D - S )

Thought of as the most basic of the four types of Transfiguration, transformation spells focus on deforming the physical features of an object. All Transformation spells are triggered with the spell ( Permuto ). Transformations are divided within 2 types, easily seen based on their applications and targets. The first Basic Transformations, reminiscent of the Transformation and Combination jutsus, are transformations that change the physical properties of a targeted item. This allows the user to change the properties of an item to give it new traits or properties. The user is able to transfigure a solid into a liquid or another solid, a liquid into a solid or into a gas/another liquid, or a gas into a liquid or another gas, all of proportionate size and directed at speeds based on the natural speed of the item manipulated. These items can only be basic items in the sense of they cannot turn something into the properties of an element the user does not have, nor can they change the properties of something created by another Kisei unless with equal or higher power/chakra. Of course, the amount of chakra used must exceed the amount of chakra present in the object being transformed for any change unless the object has no chakra present in it at all ( like a simple chair, stone, pool of water, etc ) in which case it is transformable with a simple D rank application of the spell for small things A for larger things. With an S rank application, the user is able to transfigure his own person and take on temporary enhancements such as using mahou to transfigure his upper body into that of a shark, or his legs into that of a bear, etc, and can only lasts up to 2 turns each usage and can only be used 3 times. The second, Switching greatly resembles general transformation, but with with two main differences: firstly, the features of the two targets are switched simultaneously; secondly, the change in one of the pair is dependent on a change in the other. For example, if the armor on a statue is targeted with the user's clothes, then the two items will be "switched", akin to the outcome of Substitution jutsu. The restriction applied specifically to this type the items must be of comparative size and within mid range of one another. Transformations of any kind can only be used once every 2 turns and cannot target sentient (living) beings besides the user and their own summons. Through Switching, nothing harmful can be switched onto the opponent's body/person. Transfiguration of the terrain spreads out gradually from where the beam strikes, with only A-Rank and above uses being capable of converting the battlefield up to long-range. Transfigurations up to B-Rank can be done without the beam, using only wand movements and incantations. They can can convert a mid-range area at most but cannot be used on anything within short-range of the opponent (e.g. the mid-range area cannot extend to anything within 5 meters of the target). The beam travels slightly faster than a standard wind technique while the beamless usage manifests itself on the target, similar to Switching.

Vanishment: - Defensive ( A )

A purely "A" ranked spell, requiring the use of only a single incantation to vanish almost any object ( Evanesco ). Vanishment is the art of using Mahou to cause objects to go into a state of non being; essentially, making it so that the object does not exist anymore. While called vanishing spells, it should be noted that the title is a bit misleading; while items it makes contact with are “erased”, they do not vanish entirely from existence. When the vanishing spell makes contact, the chakra within it causes it to cause the targeted item to collapse inwards on itself, appearing to fold into space rapidly as it is destroyed. However, this branch of conjuration is unable to be used on objects infused with chakra above A rank. This also isn't capable of being used on the opponent nor any animal or living being. Upon the beam making contact, the item vanishes in a thin mist proportionate to the item vanished, a thinly veiled yet visible mist left behind that doesn’t hinder vision. Usable once every 3 turns. Target is left vanished for 3 turns.

Conjuration - Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary ( D - S )

The most difficult branch of Transfiguration, conjuration deals with the usage of Mahou to create objects from nothing. Conjurations are done with the use of the incantation (Obtestor). With a usage from D-S, the user is able to conjure anything he desires within reason from chairs to swords. However, being the most useful facet of Transfiguration, also leads conjuration to be the most restricted. Nothing within the realms of custom elements, for example, can be summoned. The user could not conjure a "sword that cuts through anything" or an unbreakable shield for example. The Conjured objects are imbued with a measure of mahou, ranging from D-S rank and guided by the user's wand at speeds up to twice as fast as the user's speed. Conjured objects last a maximum of 4 turns before automatically fading away, draining 10 chakra per turn. Additionally, the user is unable to conjure people or sentient/living beings, or anything within short range of the opponent. Additionally, when several items are conjured, the rank of said conjuration is split evenly. S ranked Conjurations can only last 3 turns and be used 3 times in all.

Untransfiguration - Supplementary ( B )

The final branch of Transfiguration magic, and perhaps the second simplest (behind transformation). Untransfiguration deals simply with undoing the effects of a previous Transfiguration, turning something back to its original state, and undoing a conjuration. The amount of magic used in the Untransfiguration is at constant rank of 'B'. Mostly used when students perform a Transfiguration incorrectly, or when the user wishes to return something to its original shape. The incantation used is ( Reparifarge).
Note: S rank applications are usable only by Year 5 Kisei and higher.
Note: After S rank variants have been used, the user cannot use any version S rank and above the next turn.
Note: Only usable by members of the Kisei clan.

(Katon: Chīsana Bakuhatsu) - Fire Release: Microburst

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 30
Description: This technique allows a user to create a forward aimed and oxygen enhanced explosion. As this technique has been designed without the use of hand seals and to be performed at extremely close range, it has potential lethality if it strikes a solid hit on an opponent. It's explosive nature has been gauged to be roughly the same as an explosive tag with the explosion projected forward instead of the normal omnidirectional behavior.

Immediately after tampering with the barrier, it disperses as well as the astral projections around it. The reanimated corpses stopped approaching Morrigan and Symmetra and wondered off in different directions. The Maleficar, the barrier, the zombies... all of them. Gone.

I guess what ever you did just had to take time to work...? However, the barrier is gone. Shouldn't the undead also be? Symmetra asked Morrigan. It had seemed the barrier was the one generating the zombies but... was she mistaken? There had to be a greater force at work.

Lena was backing up slowly but her arms were working their socks off, she thrust them out in different directions performing arm commands to direct the cards that floated around her body and wrists. The Zombies as they approached her eventually just crumpled to the ground with a metal sheet embedded into their skulls. There were a lot of them, but she was managing to keep them at pay to stop them from chasing after the Bandit Community and Topaz.

They started to become a bit overwhelming, though using ninjutsu at this point might just attract more and powerful undead monsters. She didn't want that right now as she covered the escape of the Bandit Community behind her, plus she had to refine her movements with her Metal Cards, she was doing a good job as it is.

Lena grabbed one of her metal cards in hand this time, bringing her arm overhead she pelts it forward with all her might and sends the card spinning rapidly at a Zombie's head, it slices clean through and continues to onwards - she manipulates the trajectory and curves the Metal Card, allowing it to spin through a couple other Zombie heads before stabbing into the side of a piece of rubble. The Card being red explodes consuming a small group of the undead, the explosion also broke up the rubble it latched onto, weakening the the structure it was apart of and the small building collapses even further, blocking the path in front stopping a group of them from getting through. Lena cracked a grin and shrugged to herself, pretty impressed by that one card's little onslaught.

"AAAH!"

Lena screamed as she felt teeth sink into her left bicep, her head snapped into the direction of the Zombie that had snick up on her. She had gritted teeth, but noticed the Zombie immediately pulled away, gagging and roaring in disgust as it had just bitten into a dead woman.

Lena jumped into the air and spun rapidly horizontally in midair, extending her leg and kicked the zombie in the side of the face - it's skull spinning 360 degrees and twisting itself off it's own neck and rolled off it's shoulders. Lena landed on both her feet and look at the headless which of course crumpled to the ground.

At this point there were only a few Zombies left, Lena backed up further so that all of them were in her view and that they weren't randomly shambling from different directions to get a chunk out of her again.

"So guess you're just trying to kill anything that's actually capable of a thought process other than eating flesh. You jealous they're alive or somethin?"

She spoke to the zombies, but they literally just shambled towards her, the words going straight over their head - or through one ear and out the other since it had no brain to register the words she uttered. They closed in and she sighed, there was no reasoning with them - at least she finally had the chance to unlike earlier with them being so many. Above Lena's head floated three metal cards, they each pointed in the direction of each of the remaining zombies - raising her hand she clicked her fingers, commanding the cards to fire like a gun on cue and all three of the targets hit the deck simultaneously. She turns around and sees that the Bandits have gained a lot of traction and were basically almost there - though she saw someone running towards her in the distance.

"Topaz? Told that idiot to stay with them."

A small group from the previous horde had found a way around the smaller piles of rubbles and came tumbling over the side, ambushing Topaz from the side. Very terribly since they fell and tripped all over the place. Lena cursed and ran quickly, Topaz panicked and almost fell backwards switching his momentum so suddenly. She had to close the gap quickly or else they'd be on top of him. She tapped her hands against the decks of her cards again and brought her hands around together in front of her face; the metal cards forming a curved line from the deck to her hands on either side of her body. She flicks her hands forward, her open palms facing upwards commanding the cards forward as a barrage - them being quicker than her getting to Topaz.

The zombies reached for him, and he scrambled backwards - the cards rushed in and arms flew into the sky. The limbs departing from the bodies they were attached to they could no longer just simply grab Topaz giving Lena some time to get there. She got there. Pretty quickly afterwards. Jumping up onto a rock she strode off it into the air and flying kicked a Zombie in the side of the head sending him crashing into another. She lands and performs a spinning back kick with her left leg and sends another cartwheeling in the opposite direction. She runs for Topaz and swings her arm backwards, two cards abide the command and perfectly embed themselves into the noggin of the zombies without her even needing to look. She sweeps Topaz up and over her shoulder quite fluidly and he watches behind him as the remaining Zombies chase after them, Topaz takes an explosive tagged kunai and throws it at them, his aim was off and it doesn't hit any in the head, just in the chest which the undead monster shrugged off and continued chase. Though the explosive tag made up for that when he activated it and watched it explode, guts and viscera going all over the place.

They got back to the Wall of Chungsu and Lena placed Topaz down and glares at him, her glare was enough for him to realise she wasn't happy with him running back to do whatever he was doing.

"I was trying to help!"

Lena slaps him.

"I told you to stay with them and make sure they behave at my village. I don't need your help Topaz."

He rubbed his face and looked at her with an annoyance in his eyes, he wanted to be helpful to Lena. It seemed he looked up to her ever since he had been tasked with journeying with her, he wanted to feel like he was contributing but she kept pushing him away. Though what he didn't know was that Lena did think he was contributing much more now more than ever or else she never would've brought him, she was basically tasking him with looking after Mori whilst she was gone. But he didn't read into that. Topaz ran back to his community of Bandits and left Chungsu.

Lena was already looking in a different direction, she saw Sado flying back. He dropped a present off at Geets' feet who had also turned up along with a violet haired individual she didn't recognise. Sado seemed to address them all so he was probably with them. She nodded in response to him and he took off towards the Marketplace he mentioned. Lena let out a sigh, with that being over she kind of wanted to dig deeper into the Ruins, but tending to the Bandits might've been better. Though then again she did have Topaz on that, kind of trusting that he'd make them behave since he had more sway than her, plus she'd have to find songbird.

The man Lena didn't recognise had announced he would go spread word of this occurrence and left aswell, leaving her with the short man Vegeta.

"So you going to go with them or do you want to investigate the ruins some more?"

Howard · Oct 8, 2018

Sado walked back into the area stepping off of the water back onto the land. He slowly walked toward Vegeta and Lena a lot lighter due to spending a large amount of Ryo. Sado reached into his pocket pulling out a handful of small yellow-orange-white pointed candy, and a strange capsule. He slowly walked up to Vegeta and passed the candy and capsule over to him. He didn't say much just what the candy could do as it seemed that it could be eaten and then it would empower the consumer's chakra empowering it.
He didn't know exactly what the pill did but from what he could glean it could be a very powerful consumable. He nodded toward Lena as if to say "sup" and stood rather silently. He then went on to explain what he learned about the current activities happening around the world. This included the two ethereal creatures roaming the lands and their specific landmarks. His tone was rather plain, slightly downcast.

Here, apparently, it's a sugary confection from the lands you hail from. I thought it might remind you of home and be of use. I don't know much about it beyond that it can empower your ninjutsu usage for a period. The pill is a mystery to me, but it seems powerful. I figured I had my own medicine, so I don't need these but I know you're prone to combat so I figured these might give you an edge over your opponents. I also heard a tale of more undead creatures appearing around the world. I fought a horde of them in Keishi. There are also two headless creatures in the Dead Plains and Giant's Lance.

Sado turned toward Lena continuing to speak. Now toward her, at a volume, only she and Vegeta could hear.

I have a network of spies in Keishi. I've had them there for months. I'm currently using them to spread the tale of Shinramoto. It seems Takauji wants to paint us as monsters so I have my people working on a spin. Hopefully, they can change what the world thinks about Shinramoto and us. I told them to say Shinramoto wouldn't bend a knee to anyone, that they were strong and proud. I included the details about how the shinobi and Black Ones attacked underhandedly slaughtering humans and destroying homes with reckless abandonment. I told them to say that the "monsters" were merely acting to protect their people who were being senselessly murdered. Also that they've been reaching out to help those who need it regardless of their standing as shinobi, bandits or peasants in a time when the dead are rising and killing indiscriminately I understand it might not be my place, and if this angers you I apologize but I felt we should get ahead of this narrative before the world's perception turns on us completely and we're branded the bad guys.

Sado stood somewhat aimlessly waiting for what happened next.

(Kyandī Kōn) – Candy Corn
Type: Artifact
Rank: B
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: A popular colorful candy often found in the Land of Fire; candy corn is a pointed candy, with a broad yellow end, a tapering orange center, and a white tip mimicking corn kernels. The candy is laden with sugar and, when mixed with one’s chakra after being passively consumed, creates powerful empowering effects. For three turns after consumption, the candy increases the user’s techniques by 20 damage. This counts as a passive boost. Each handful of corn can be consumed three times before the user runs out. Once they expire, the user cannot consume Conqueror’s End candy for two turns. The user may only have a maximum of two different Conqueror’s End candy running simultaneously.

(Fushigina Piru: Raion) – Mysterious Pill: Lion
Type: Artifact
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: A strange and mysterious capsule pill. You’re not quite sure where it came from, who made it, or even what it does… However, you know what they say; “Curiosity killed the cat". But that begs the question... Which disinterested cat made it big? Unbeknownst to most, the pill is laced with Yang energies and, once consumed, triggers drastic alterations in the user’s anatomy. This specific pill, the Lion, will cause the user to grow copious lion-like hair from all over their body. The user’s hands and feet grow powerful and nigh indestructible long claws. The user, when running on all fours, will gain increased speed equivalent to 2.5x their base. The user will also grow a tail, although this is for mere cosmetic purpose. The transformation also causes an increase in the user’s Fire Release techniques, causing all techniques to inflict an additional 20 damage, considered a passive boost. The user will also grow fangs. This transformation will last for the duration of Arc 4: Conqueror’s End (October 6th – November 6th) and cannot be stacked with other Mysterious Pills. The pill will expire at the end of Arc 4, and attempting to consume it afterwards will only result in the user losing 100 health.

Note: Above artifacts were given to Vegeta.

'Twas odd. The sudden unnatural feeling combined with the fact that they all turned on away from us. Were we not interesting enough or did we set them off? Was my plan strong enough to disrupt it? No. They were still alive. My eyes squinted as I looked around the area. 'Twas rather quiet. For a place that was filled so much activity, it seems it all died down as the reanimated corpses went on their merry way. However, they disappeared it seemed. The Maleficar. Where to? What was their goal? Perhaps it would remain a mystery. I turned to Symmetra who asked;

"Either they succeeded and we failed, or our plan was sufficient enough to break up whatever they were doing...but why would the undead still be alive? It doesn't make sense, does it? Perhaps this requires some investigation of sorts. If I could find some runes or information, perhaps I could find Flemeth..she would understand this better than I. But finding her would prove difficult..Perhaps one of your clan mates could wield some more knowledge in this area?"

I asked. She only briefly spoke of her clan mates, but if she is any indication then they are bound to be powerful. And usually, with power comes great knowledge. Usually.

Dany arrives still slightly tired, now panting a bit. The last few islands she sprinted through, determined to arrive with the others as quickly as possible. She knew Symmetra was around but she couldn't lie to herself about what appealed the most to her right now: this was one of the last strongholds of Hanguri, the capital. She recalled stories of their ancestors and how they ruled wirh an iron fist and soft heart. It sounded weird, but it felt like...home. or the old memory of an old home, a childhood residence. An era long gone, a time of peace and more. It wasn't fair, this world fell into the state it's in because her ancestors were killed and Hanguri fell. That's why it was her job, no her destiny, to bring them back to their peak. As she walked through the ruins, she could sense Symmetra around with another and moved to approach them.

Seeing the Two, Daenerys spoke as Drogon reached her, landing nearby the group. There was confusion on their faces, apparently something had just happened here before she arrived.

"My apologies, I was attending to some business. It seems I've missed a lot," she said, looking to the unknown woman and nodding slightly, acknowledging her presence before turning back to Symmetra. "What brings you here?"

Lena went back to check out the undead that were trapped on the other-side of the collapsed building she had used to block the path, therefore cutting the reinforcements off from the shambling undead and thinning their numbers quite easily. However they still might've remained a problem and it was best if she checked it out before confirming the safety of those she was trying to protect. She easily ascended to the top of the broken rocks, metal and other materials that made up a building and looked down at the path on the other-side. A small horde of Zombies were pressed against the rocks reaching upwards, letting out a dull hum all at once that just echoed disturbingly - because she had revealed herself they became more erratic and wanted to get up to try and eat her.

The Zombies began to climb up onto one another, getting on each other's shoulders and basically creating a ladder out of themselves, though this limited the amount that could get up at once and would make them very unstable. Lena planted the sole of her foot on one of their faces and then thrust it outwards, kicking the Zombie away whilst making the others grabbing onto said zombie fall and collapse back onto the path like a set of ladders - their effort had been for nothing. She had to give them kudos on not giving up, seemed they weren't programmed to do that. This would be easy pickings, she drew a few cards between her fingers and started to throw them one at a time with the other hand, getting some practice in on her throwing technique she flicked her hand in numerous ways to get the cards to curve and spin. She also had quite some power behind the throws, managing to sever limbs and even almost detach heads. She managed to do something similar to earlier where the card went straight through the zombie's head and into another's.

Hm, she was waiting for an answer from Vegeta but he seemed to be loitering. She sat on the pile of rubble and kept practising her Bukijutsu on these targets. They were pretty good targets.

Eventually when enough time had passed she heard activity behind her, she stood up from sitting on the pile of rubble and looked towards Sado, returning a nod to him before looking down at what Zombies were left. She didn't know what exactly to do with them, guess there was no point leaving them there however. They'd eventually terrorise someone else. These poor bodies deserved rest anyway, their time was up and there was no point letting them suffer any longer. She took out a number of red cards and launched them in specific places, all spread out quick evenly to get the perfect volume of targets. Lena eventually jumped down from the rubble, landing on the side with no Zombies and with a click of her fingers the other side of the makeshift wall exploded multiple times one after another - the groaning noises of the zombies went out with a bang and left them in silence. She walked over to Vegeta and Sado who had seemingly performed some kind of transaction, if it was her business she'd probably have been told directly about it. Sado talked about what he had done whilst he was gone.

"An Information War. Smart. I have no quarrel..."

Lena had already assumed that the Battle of Shinramoto had been spun on it's head, Takauji was a smart man, using politics to his advantage as well. She didn't have that kind of sway, but luckily for her she had become allies with someone who could combat that aspect.

"...it's just a matter on who wants to believe what at this point. Anyway, with the Bandits heading back to Mori I may need to return."

Seeing the Two, Daenerys spoke as Drogon reached her, landing nearby the group. There was confusion on their faces, apparently something had just happened here before she arrived.

"My apologies, I was attending to some business. It seems I've missed a lot," she said, looking to the unknown woman and nodding slightly, acknowledging her presence before turning back to Symmetra. "What brings you here?"

Just as Symmetra was about to answer Morrigan's question a dragon landed at their side with a figure approaching close behind it. It was Daenerys, a member of Golden State. She decided to introduce the both of them before answering Daenerys' question.

Speaking of Clan members, Morrigan meet Daenerys. Daenerys, Morrigan. Symmetra turned to Daenerys.

You've definitely missed a lot. Undead, people called the "Maleficar". Liberation of many towns. A lot was missed indeed. But the matter at hand is the undead. I'm sure you noticed them wandering around on your way here. Symmetra pointed toward the old ruins where they just were.

Over there, there was a barrier and wisp-like entities that were chanting in unison, apparently reviving the dead. For what purpose? I don't know. Who is the mastermind behind it? That's what we are trying to find out. Back there I heard something... before the barrier disappeared. They called the one who was birthed from the casket, Cassander. He disappeared in a flash of lightning but not before splitting himself into different forms. If we find Cassander, we find the answers we are looking for.

Symmetra's eyes focused on Daenerys for longer than usual. She seemed...strained.

Is everything alright?

Lena went back to check out the undead that were trapped on the other-side of the collapsed building she had used to block the path, therefore cutting the reinforcements off from the shambling undead and thinning their numbers quite easily. However they still might've remained a problem and it was best if she checked it out before confirming the safety of those she was trying to protect. She easily ascended to the top of the broken rocks, metal and other materials that made up a building and looked down at the path on the other-side. A small horde of Zombies were pressed against the rocks reaching upwards, letting out a dull hum all at once that just echoed disturbingly - because she had revealed herself they became more erratic and wanted to get up to try and eat her.

The Zombies began to climb up onto one another, getting on each other's shoulders and basically creating a ladder out of themselves, though this limited the amount that could get up at once and would make them very unstable. Lena planted the sole of her foot on one of their faces and then thrust it outwards, kicking the Zombie away whilst making the others grabbing onto said zombie fall and collapse back onto the path like a set of ladders - their effort had been for nothing. She had to give them kudos on not giving up, seemed they weren't programmed to do that. This would be easy pickings, she drew a few cards between her fingers and started to throw them one at a time with the other hand, getting some practice in on her throwing technique she flicked her hand in numerous ways to get the cards to curve and spin. She also had quite some power behind the throws, managing to sever limbs and even almost detach heads. She managed to do something similar to earlier where the card went straight through the zombie's head and into another's.

Hm, she was waiting for an answer from Vegeta but he seemed to be loitering. She sat on the pile of rubble and kept practising her Bukijutsu on these targets. They were pretty good targets.

Eventually when enough time had passed she heard activity behind her, she stood up from sitting on the pile of rubble and looked towards Sado, returning a nod to him before looking down at what Zombies were left. She didn't know what exactly to do with them, guess there was no point leaving them there however. They'd eventually terrorise someone else. These poor bodies deserved rest anyway, their time was up and there was no point letting them suffer any longer. She took out a number of red cards and launched them in specific places, all spread out quick evenly to get the perfect volume of targets. Lena eventually jumped down from the rubble, landing on the side with no Zombies and with a click of her fingers the other side of the makeshift wall exploded multiple times one after another - the groaning noises of the zombies went out with a bang and left them in silence. She walked over to Vegeta and Sado who had seemingly performed some kind of transaction, if it was her business she'd probably have been told directly about it. Sado talked about what he had done whilst he was gone.

"An Information War. Smart. I have no quarrel..."

Lena had already assumed that the Battle of Shinramoto had been spun on it's head, Takauji was a smart man, using politics to his advantage as well. She didn't have that kind of sway, but luckily for her she had become allies with someone who could combat that aspect.

"...it's just a matter on who wants to believe what at this point. Anyway, with the Bandits heading back to Mori I may need to return."

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
Custom: Deal with a problem in a tactical manner, instead of with direct confrontation ( 4 )
Custom: Push the threat of the undead, somewhere else ( 4 )

Summary: Sado thought about his two problems right now. Zombies from the north, and Takauji to the south. What if he could pit the two factions against one another and let them deal with each other? He could pit this relentless horde of mindless zombies against the man who he was beginning to see as his only rival in this world. He could let these creatures bang their head against the might of the dying Freehold keeping both factions busy. Meaning he could use the Hangurian Black Ones and Takauji to thin the zombies and he could use the zombies to further distract the other faction. This would be done by completely walling off Shinramoto from the Ruins of Chungsu, the adjacent lands, and Takauji's lands and then creating a network of man-made tunnels. They could be routed through lands adjacent to Shinramoto and they could exit directly into several of Takuji's lands thus pushing the danger elsewhere and focusing it for his own gain. Going to include the formation of the plan and execution of it so will be multiple posts.

If I were to be completely honest I can assure you my clone has things under control for now. How I know that is he hasn't dispersed yet. If there was trouble he couldn't handle he probably would have formed another shadow clone and then either forced it to disperse or dispersed himself which would have alerted me. Anyway, that wasn't what I wanted to talk to you about right now, merely just words of comfort for now. Vegeta had mentioned something to me in confidence. It was a plan and I think it is a smart one at that and due to that I've taken parts of it and altered it slightly to work better. I want your opinion on it and to know if you would be willing to help with it or if it is too much for you to dirty your hands with.

Sado was speaking with a rather direct tone. Unlike Smith who had trouble explaining his more vicious ideas for fear of being perceived as a warmonger or one who likes instilling fear and pain on others Sado was direct and his tone denoted not an ounce of sympathy for the people of the Shogun's lands. He was definitively forward in his thoughts both apathetic and uncaring for the loss of life this plan could incite for those lands.
His tone was dark and it sounded like a decent amount of thought went into this plan. It would seem as if Sado had completely detached himself from the idea and from the people who it might effect. The way Sado said " or if it is too much for you." called back to Smith and how hesitant he was to cross a line.
Sado seemed as if he didn't care about a line, it seemed like if he had to he'd jump over it and keep going. He had very few qualms with testing Lena's morality and pushing the boundaries of what she might be willing to do in this war of attrition. He knew he had to keep pressure upon Takauji otherwise he'd just use his vast money to fund Shinramoto's destruction.

These zombies are going to travel downward toward Shinramoto causing problems for your people and we're wasting our time here trying to keep them at bay. I can see you want to return already, and I know you probably wouldn't say it outright but you care for those people more than yourself, but the moment we leave more will rise from the grave. What if instead of letting them do that, forcing their way into Shinramoto and causing a problem for your people. We do what Smith did for the southern border of Shinramoto we build another wall between the Ruins of Chungsu and Shinramoto as well as the lands adjacent and then we route the hordes around Shinramoto. This would be done through a series of man-made tunnels in the lands adjacent to Shinramoto. We could direct the flow of undead into the heart of Takauji's Ashikaga's lands and cause them to clash against his small, efficient, military. He tried to be direct, he tried to take your people's lands, their homes, and their lives by force because it is the key to his expansion. We don't want his lands, we could burn them to the ground and it wouldn't affect us. That's the difference between us and him. He wants what you have, whereas we just want him to pay for what he's done.

Sado's voice picked up. If Lena was paying attention she may be able to pick out the inflection in his voice. It was different from Smith's. Sado liked this. He liked forming tactical plans and executing them. He so obviously reveled in this moment and this plan. He wanted to spread the horde to Takauji's lands and watch the chaos that ensued. He didn't care about what happened to the people, or to the Hangurian Black Ones.
The normal people who would be affected seemed like collateral damage in his eyes. As if he believed they were complacent in Takauji's regime for not standing up and revolting against him. His tones had hints of a barbarous tone. He would tear down the stability Takauji built so that he was nothing more than a failing warlord in the eyes of the people.
If Takauji wanted to spin the narrative around Shinramoto and Sado well he picked the wrong man to slight and try to out bard. Sado loved controlling the world's perception now it was growing to be a hobby. He also loved crafting tales through his actions, as well as spouting rhymes, catchphrases and any other thing that could give him a respite from boredom.

Sado walked back into the area stepping off of the water back onto the land. He slowly walked toward Vegeta and Lena a lot lighter due to spending a large amount of Ryo. Sado reached into his pocket pulling out a handful of small yellow-orange-white pointed candy, and a strange capsule. He slowly walked up to Vegeta and passed the candy and capsule over to him. He didn't say much just what the candy could do as it seemed that it could be eaten and then it would empower the consumer's chakra empowering it.
He didn't know exactly what the pill did but from what he could glean it could be a very powerful consumable. He nodded toward Lena as if to say "sup" and stood rather silently. He then went on to explain what he learned about the current activities happening around the world. This included the two ethereal creatures roaming the lands and their specific landmarks. His tone was rather plain, slightly downcast.

Here, apparently, it's a sugary confection from the lands you hail from. I thought it might remind you of home and be of use. I don't know much about it beyond that it can empower your ninjutsu usage for a period. The pill is a mystery to me, but it seems powerful. I figured I had my own medicine, so I don't need these but I know you're prone to combat so I figured these might give you an edge over your opponents. I also heard a tale of more undead creatures appearing around the world. I fought a horde of them in Keishi. There are also two headless creatures in the Dead Plains and Giant's Lance.

Sado turned toward Lena continuing to speak. Now toward her, at a volume, only she and Vegeta could hear.

I have a network of spies in Keishi. I've had them there for months. I'm currently using them to spread the tale of Shinramoto. It seems Takauji wants to paint us as monsters so I have my people working on a spin. Hopefully, they can change what the world thinks about Shinramoto and us. I told them to say Shinramoto wouldn't bend a knee to anyone, that they were strong and proud. I included the details about how the shinobi and Black Ones attacked underhandedly slaughtering humans and destroying homes with reckless abandonment. I told them to say that the "monsters" were merely acting to protect their people who were being senselessly murdered. Also that they've been reaching out to help those who need it regardless of their standing as shinobi, bandits or peasants in a time when the dead are rising and killing indiscriminately I understand it might not be my place, and if this angers you I apologize but I felt we should get ahead of this narrative before the world's perception turns on us completely and we're branded the bad guys.

Sado stood somewhat aimlessly waiting for what happened next.

(Kyandī Kōn) – Candy Corn
Type: Artifact
Rank: B
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: A popular colorful candy often found in the Land of Fire; candy corn is a pointed candy, with a broad yellow end, a tapering orange center, and a white tip mimicking corn kernels. The candy is laden with sugar and, when mixed with one’s chakra after being passively consumed, creates powerful empowering effects. For three turns after consumption, the candy increases the user’s techniques by 20 damage. This counts as a passive boost. Each handful of corn can be consumed three times before the user runs out. Once they expire, the user cannot consume Conqueror’s End candy for two turns. The user may only have a maximum of two different Conqueror’s End candy running simultaneously.

(Fushigina Piru: Raion) – Mysterious Pill: Lion
Type: Artifact
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: A strange and mysterious capsule pill. You’re not quite sure where it came from, who made it, or even what it does… However, you know what they say; “Curiosity killed the cat". But that begs the question... Which disinterested cat made it big? Unbeknownst to most, the pill is laced with Yang energies and, once consumed, triggers drastic alterations in the user’s anatomy. This specific pill, the Lion, will cause the user to grow copious lion-like hair from all over their body. The user’s hands and feet grow powerful and nigh indestructible long claws. The user, when running on all fours, will gain increased speed equivalent to 2.5x their base. The user will also grow a tail, although this is for mere cosmetic purpose. The transformation also causes an increase in the user’s Fire Release techniques, causing all techniques to inflict an additional 20 damage, considered a passive boost. The user will also grow fangs. This transformation will last for the duration of Arc 4: Conqueror’s End (October 6th – November 6th) and cannot be stacked with other Mysterious Pills. The pill will expire at the end of Arc 4, and attempting to consume it afterwards will only result in the user losing 100 health.

Note: Above artifacts were given to Vegeta.

Sado and Vegeta walked into the Ruins of Chungsu as Sado deviated slightly from Vegeta breaking away enough to set his own plan in motion. He called out to Vegeta first explaining to him what his plan was and then he called out to Lena who he assumed was above or near him flying in on the bird she mentioned Songbird. Sado's tone was picking up, the bored and fidgety tone from earlier was replaced by stalwart devotion for the cause in front him of.
Honestly, he just liked the idea of being able to destroy and conquer without any repercussions. If he were to do this to a village, or a settlement he would be branded evil, but due to the fact that these creatures were all undead, he'd be considered a hero instead. He grinned slightly at that thought as he continued speaking in a direct tone, not exactly giving orders but explaining the best course of actions he could see for this event. Even when not trying to be strategic his mind worked that way. He assumed they couldn't fly, so they'd have to move through foot travel.

Vegeta, do what you do best.

Sado nodded toward Vegeta. He knew the man would know what he meant and didn't need much more than that.

Lena, I'm going to distract the horde and try to keep them moving toward me at all times. Exploit that opening and get Topaz to his people. From there begin their retreat. I believe using walls could be advantageous. If you raise two walls on either side of you as you move forward you can create a path with which to move to keep any undead confined to a small area making it so they have less of a chance to harm you. Though if you can think of a better plan, go for it. It seems they're rather slow and dumb, drawn to sound, and to people. Go, I can handle this. I can tell yours is more of a rescue mission. My own is more direct I just want to break shit.

As he said "Go, I can handle this" loud music began to push forward throughout the landmark emanating directly from Sado himself surrounding him in shrill tones. It was cacophonous and distracting as the sharp guitar riffs cut through the silence pushing outward through every small or large ruin drawing the attention of every undead thing in the lands. With a wash of grunts and guttural screeches, a large portion of the scourge began to move toward the loudest thing in the area which was Sado, their bodies were twisted and decayed.
The group as they entered the Ruins of Chungsu would be at the southernmost part of the landmark meaning Sado had a large area of mindless undead to tear through. As the music began to pick up louder and more abruptly rushing out to long range from his position the numerous undead began to shamble southward toward Sado as he slowly and deliberately walked forward. There wasn't a moment of hesitation in his stance or gate as he continued onward looking out over the Ruins of Chungsu. For a land that Takauji wanted so vehemently, it looked like a shithole, now even more so with the thousands upon thousands of undead speckled throughout the area. Sado seemed like a man with a clear goal not flinching at all from the massive group of undead now making their way to him.

( Sandāu~ēbu ) - Thunderwave

Type: Tool
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: N/A ( - 5 per turn when used )
Damage: N/A
Description: Thunderwave is a basic chest plate outfitted with a surround sound speaker system, and a microphone. It can be used to play music or make noises more audible than normal similar to a karaoke machine. It is able to produce sound louder than most techniques or the clashing of techniques and can be much louder than the user or opponent can scream. In essence it can act like the (Utsusemi no Jutsu) - Empty Cicada Shell Technique passively at all times being louder and stronger than even that basic technique. It comes pre-loaded with all of the wielder's favorite songs. In battle it can be used to play theme music or it can make the user louder as it has a built in microphone system connected to the speaker system.
The primary use of Thunderwave as mentioned above is the ability to play music with the offshoot of this being the ability to cancel sound waves with sound waves while playing music. This is similar to the Scientific Ninja Tool: Shijima and works like a noise-cancellation speaker. The system can emit a sound wave with the same amplitude but with inverted phase also known as antiphase to the original sound. The waves combine to form a new wave, in a process called interference, and effectively cancel each other out. This effect is called destructive interference and is able to nullify sound techniques in equal rank. The sound can encompass a short - long range area around the user being louder the closer to the user the people who can hear it are and due to this it has a dampening system as to not harm the users ears or cause them any undue problems. It can be fine tuned to look different depending on the wielder's appearance or preference.
Note: Sound techniques can only be canceled once per turn three times per battle.

The more he thought about it the more he realized that he could truly let go and be a completely destructive beast of indiscretion here. That idea excited him thoroughly as he rushed to form a few hand seals. He had been planning everything for months, every detail had to be thought out and nearly every possible reply accounted for. But here, he could just destroy, kill and distract. He didn't have to be tactical. It might help him understand the flow of battle if he really focused, and could be of use in the future against his current rival, but he was already lost to the thought of destruction. He forced a large amount of chakra into the ground as it began to tear in upon itself several of the ruins falling inward to a hole created in the ground as the ground moved in upon itself. The earth itself crushed upon itself as pieces of it began to slide against one another becoming finer and finer particles until a portion of the ground was now a mass of a material that looked like a small desert.
Sado wasn't done however as that area of sand, dirt, dust and other particles began to coalesce into a large sand-based creature. During the formation of it, Sado threw several kunai with tags attached into the creature as a few of them detonated. This caused the creature to swell as more red sand was fed into it making it become even larger and more powerful. The horde continued onward toward Sado as the face of the creature twisted into a grimace of fury. It's arms lashed forward in two slight arcs as the creature cried out in a terrible noise.
It wasn't like the cry of an animal or a person it sounded like hard-rock and stone bashing together and being turned into dust as the loud sound echoed outward alongside the music. In a second a hundred or so of the shambling undead were reduced to smears upon the ground under the weight and force of Asmodeus. It's power and the properties of the Red Sand his body was made of made it so that it could easily smash and burn the decaying creatures before they could reach Sado who was a few feet behind his behemoth of a create standing at least fifteen meters tall with a gate that allowed it to move and flow across the ground almost in an ethereal manner like a condensed and moving dust-storm.

(Nirro Suna: Nesasu no Asumodeusu) Red Sand Release: Asmodeus of Nessus

Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 40 ( -10 per turn )
Damage points: 80 ( +20 Tags ) ( +20 SM ) = 120
Description: The user will perform three handseals their chakra into the ground. From this massive amount of chakra the user causes Red Sand to form and then erupt upward from the ground buckling it and cracking it as a massive creature made out of Red Sand rises from the ground. The creature will be completely made out of Red Sand and is able to protect the user from incoming techniques while also being able to attack. Once per turn passively the creature can lash out with it's arms or body to smash or crush anything in it's path with the sheer weight and size of their body. It not only can attack a target physically by lashing out in various ways to attack the enemy in a freeform manner it can attack at range. It does this by shooting from it's mouth a highly pressurized torrent of Red Sand with enough potential and strength to pierce through techniques that Red Sand is strong to (A-rank in strength). This can be done once per turn with a two turn cool down and costs a move slot, twice per battle. Any Red Sand that touches human or animal flesh is able to cause third degree burns. If there is a red sand source available the creature can use it to reform itself from damage it could have taken while being used but it counts as a move slot. However unlike the reformation ability mentioned above this doesn't cost any chakra needing only a source of Red Sand to accomplish After the creature is done or if it's broken down due to a clash with a stronger technique the creature will disperse itself throughout the air causing a massive source of Red Sand to form leaving red sand all over the battle field up to mid range.
Note: Usable twice a battle and needs a two turn cool down while no other Red Sand jutsus can be used during the cool down. After it's dispersal.
Note: The user cannot use any techniques other than Red Sand techniques while sustaining the creature.
Note: The torrent of Red Sand and the reformation abilities each cost a move slot but can be used in the same timeframe as another technique due to originating from the creature instead of the user.
Note: Creature can last for three turns

(Akai Sabaku no Tagu) - Tags of the Red Desert

Type: Supplementary
Rank: N/A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: N/A (-5 per tag)
Damage: N/A ( +20 to paper ninjutsu, tag based ninjutsu or Red Sand Techniques )
Description: These tags were created by Korra to use in conjunction with her Paper Ninjutsu and are a replacement for the explosive tags a shinobi usually carries thus making them passive. These tags are red in color with a desert/sand look with 漠 on the middle. The tags contain red sand in them and can be detonated by the user merely through thought. The sand in the tags help give the user a source of red sand throughout the battle field. Each single tag contains enough red sand to support a D rank Red Sand technique. The user can use the red sand from the tags for other Red Sand techniques but only if enough tags go off for example the remainders of a single tag can support a D rank technique. The remainder of two tags can support a C rank etc. If used alongside basic ninjutsu that summons Explosive Tags like Hidden Explosive Tags Technique, or that uses Explosive tags that technique is considered a Red Sand technique and will release Red Sand upon detonation. These tags can also be used alongside Red Sand techniques by funneling them into the formation of a technique empowering a Red Sand technique allowing it to overcome it's usual weaknesses as when it clashes with another technique the tags will detonate releasing more Red Sand and increasing the strength of that technique enough to overcome it's weakness.

Salazzle. Hold the line if they break through.

I don't believe poison will be useful here, so save your effort incase they become a problem.

Sado called out to his summoning companion telling her to remain vigilant as he would be performing sweeping attacks to try and keep all of the undead focused in one area. He knew poison would probably ineffective on the dead so he relied heavily on his Red Sand usage as it could crush their bones and body, destroy their decaying flesh and burn the creatures to ash should anything remain. He didn't want these creatures spreading to Shinramoto and he didn't want them getting close to himself or his allies. He didn't know if whatever brought them back was contagious or not so he wanted to minimize the amount of leftover flesh, bone, and viscera. Asmodeus kept moving through the initial horde of undead as Sado walked in slowly behind him performing three hand seals and then lifting his right hand upward and moving it in an arcing motion across the field. This created a large wisp-like blade of condensed and pressurized Red Sand that he released from his right hand. Using his left he funneled more tags into the technique so that as the scythe-like blade moved forward the tags exploded causing more Red Sand to be produced increasing the sharpness and heat of the initial technique far beyond its normal limitations.
The blade skated forward across the battlefield through the air and connected with roughly forty of the undead severing their bodies in two. Sado watched them as the lower half of their bodies were completely obliterated a large portion of them being only chests, arms, and heads. However, the resilient creatures continued to crawl forward using what remained of their upper-bodies to pull themselves forward. This caused viscera and guts to litter the field as they moved forward literally disemboweling themselves to continued forward toward Sado who was still being rather loud as the music continued to emanate from his position. He looked across the field to check on his allies while in unison scouting momentarily for any more of the undead.
It seemed like the first wave was dealt with as there seemed to be none left in his immediate area. That was until he noticed a fair distance to the north-west about thirty or so meters away more were incoming too many to count or even estimate. They were shambling forward in a congested mass of undeath crawling over each other to get to the commotion created by Sado and his party.

(Nirro Suna: Ryokō-sha no Tsūru) Red Sand Release: Tools of the Traveler

Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: B - S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20 - 40
Damage points: 40 - 80 ( +20 Tags ) ( +20 SM ) = 120
Description: The user can form strong tools out of Red Sand either by creating a source with this jutsu or manipulating an already existing source, these include; kunai, swords, pillars, shields etc. However B rank will need one hand seal, A rank will need two hand seals and S rank will need three hand seals. The tools will be able to repel water and other liquids and the sand is heated significantly giving them a burning property. The heat from the tools are enough to cause third degree burns to human skin on contact and cause deep searing wounds. The user himself doesn't directly touch the tools therefor he is unaffected by the heat of them. The tools can only be created short range from the user if the technique is used to create its own source of red sand. As a defensive mechanism the user is able to produce Red Sand directly from their body in a large enough quantity to push hazardous substances such as liquid, oil, fire, mud, etc away and off of them.
Note: S rank can be used once per turn and four times per battle

(Akai Sabaku no Tagu) - Tags of the Red Desert

Type: Supplementary
Rank: N/A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: N/A (-5 per tag)
Damage: N/A ( +20 to paper ninjutsu, tag based ninjutsu or Red Sand Techniques )
Description: These tags were created by Korra to use in conjunction with her Paper Ninjutsu and are a replacement for the explosive tags a shinobi usually carries thus making them passive. These tags are red in color with a desert/sand look with 漠 on the middle. The tags contain red sand in them and can be detonated by the user merely through thought. The sand in the tags help give the user a source of red sand throughout the battle field. Each single tag contains enough red sand to support a D rank Red Sand technique. The user can use the red sand from the tags for other Red Sand techniques but only if enough tags go off for example the remainders of a single tag can support a D rank technique. The remainder of two tags can support a C rank etc. If used alongside basic ninjutsu that summons Explosive Tags like Hidden Explosive Tags Technique, or that uses Explosive tags that technique is considered a Red Sand technique and will release Red Sand upon detonation. These tags can also be used alongside Red Sand techniques by funneling them into the formation of a technique empowering a Red Sand technique allowing it to overcome it's usual weaknesses as when it clashes with another technique the tags will detonate releasing more Red Sand and increasing the strength of that technique enough to overcome it's weakness.

Sado called out to Vegeta with a request. He assumed Lena would be fine, but he wanted to make sure she made it to the bandits he thought she was trying to save, safely herself. He remembered back to the Battle of Shinramoto and how she changed becoming arrogant, reckless and self-absorbed when she started referring to herself as Sorrows. He didn't want her hurting herself in a fool-hearted manner again like how she had lost that construct in the Battle. It seemed to affect her greatly and he didn't want a repeat of such an event. He didn't "tell" Vegeta to do anything, merely requested him to watch Lena's back and keep the undead scourge off of her while she did what she needed to.

Vegeta, can you keep an eye on Lena for me? I'll take care of a lot of these mobs.

Feel free to do whatever you want but she holds our foothold in the Tea Peninsula by way of Shinramoto.

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
-Defend a village from a wandering group of zombies (2)
-Make all the necessary plans and arrangements for your Clan (4)

Summary: After witnessing the horrific events unfold, most of his comrades went off to take care of some things and his new found son went to spread word.

decides with the time of year it was the perfect time to unveil his Conquerors End costume and make use of the strange mask he had acquired. Thankfully he brought his bat-like club covered in barbed wire with him (Listed on bio). Seeing several herds of zombies heading towards Shinramoto from an area left undefended, they concoct a plan: Steer the herd away from Shinramoto and get some revenge for the Clan.. on the Shogun who had put them in perilous situations by placing bounties on them and causing the theft of the mighty Squirrel Scroll, something that almost ended the world if Vegeta wasn't able to talk down the squirrels. The Shogun was in for a some Conquerors End trick or treat'ers this year. As he finishes putting on his costume, Sado and Lena approach..

Thanks for the candy and pill. Now's as good a time as any to take it..*swallows pill* Sorry it took so long to get into my costume I seem to have missed a lot even though I saw everything with my byakugan.... oh man, I'm not feeling so good...

Suddenly Vegeta's body undergoes a wild transformation into a Lion-man thing, with claws and fangs. He drops Lucille who clangs to the ground. He could feel even more power overflowing thru him then before, even with his Sage Mode. Was this safe? Too late to cross that bridge now. Whatever the hell that pill was, it did wonders for how Geets was feeling..

RRRRROOOAAAARRRRRRRR OK OK OK OK ok ok..... pheew...calm down Geets..

Looking at himself and his companions in the midst of this nightmare, Geets raises his hand looking at his open palm. His Katon chakra seemed to be chomping at the bit, trying to escape him and cause destruction to the zombies remaining in the area. But he had to keep his cool, and look cool. And this kinda clashed with his costume which was a Conquerors End Festival no no. He had a plan..

(Fushigina Piru: Raion) – Mysterious Pill: Lion

Type: Artifact
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: A strange and mysterious capsule pill. You’re not quite sure where it came from, who made it, or even what it does… However, you know what they say; “Curiosity killed the cat". But that begs the question... Which disinterested cat made it big? Unbeknownst to most, the pill is laced with Yang energies and, once consumed, triggers drastic alterations in the user’s anatomy. This specific pill, the Lion, will cause the user to grow copious lion-like hair from all over their body. The user’s hands and feet grow powerful and nigh indestructible long claws. The user, when running on all fours, will gain increased speed equivalent to 2.5x their base. The user will also grow a tail, although this is for mere cosmetic purpose. The transformation also causes an increase in the user’s Fire Release techniques, causing all techniques to inflict an additional 20 damage, considered a passive boost. The user will also grow fangs. This transformation will last for the duration of Arc 4: Conqueror’s End (October 6th – November 6th) and cannot be stacked with other Mysterious Pills. The pill will expire at the end of Arc 4, and attempting to consume it afterwards will only result in the user losing 100 health.

Putting the mysterious mask on, his voice became raspy and slick, kind of voice that'll talk your socks off you without taking your shoes off. It was time to finish the job. In a puff of smoke, he uses the transformation jutsu to make himself look like his favorite comic book character. He had been secretly making this costume all year waiting for this month to roll around. The timing of all this couldn't be better..

(Henge no Jutsu) - Transformation Technique

Type: Supplementary
Rank: E
Range: Short
Chakra: 5
Damage: N/A
Description: A Ninjutsu technique, which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. Henge allows the ninja to transform themselves into any person or object. This allows the ninja to move with stealth or to trick their opponents.

(Inshō) – Visage

Type: Artifact
Rank: B
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: In the crypts beneath the Dead Plains rests a vast array of coffins, each identical. The cold winds permeate through the frozen tomb, making exploration nigh impossible. Yet an infamous expeditionary group, the Kromrif Expeditionary Vanguard, plundered some of the coffins. One such coffin contained a simple ceremonial mask. It is unclear the purpose of the mask, as is what it is crafted from. It appears in perfect condition despite being locked away in a tomb for centuries. On the perimeter of the mask are six magatama, each pointing in different directions. Unique to the mask is its use as a voice modulator; when equipped by an individual, they become able to alter their voice freely to fit nearly any purpose.

Picking up Lucy, his smile is huge as he grips her tight in his hands, and swiftly dashes away at tremendous speed. the fire from his sword on his back trailing behind him as he moves like a rocket. In what seemed like an instant, he bashes 20 or so zombies brains in, coating his barbed wire covered bat and a little bit himself in blood and muck as he rips thru them like butter. Quickly he turns and heads back to Sado and Lena and holds Lucy out to them. This pill was making him act a little funny in the early stages of adjusting..

Hi, I'm Vegan. Allow me the pleasure of introducing y'all to Lucy. This.. Geets looks at the bat lovingly staying in character.. fine lady here, well she's been waiting on deck for ages, for a day just like this one. Now, would either of you care to take a swing in the batting cages down there before I start digging up these tunnels?

Geets holds the bat out offering "her" to them. He would then wait to see if they wanted a swing or two, and what the game plan was. With his eyes he could see the heaviest area of zombies, and also see where he's going as he tunnels so he was perfect for this "Pied Piper" style mission. That bastard Shogun was in for a nice surprise. He was so excited he almost forgot about his Flame Swordsman Sword on his back burning like golden wildfire, perhaps it'd get good use while tunneling..

( Kanpekinanin Hebi Sennin Modo ) - Perfect Snake Sage Mode

Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: N/a
Chakra cost: N/A ( -10 turn to sustain )
Damage Points: Active + 30 damage to all ninjutsu and taijutsu up to S rank
Description: An empowered state of body achieved by blending natural energy with one’s physical and spiritual energy. The mode heightens performance on all levels by adding a new dimension of power to the user’s chakra. The state is a direct result of Senjutsu chakra circulating through the body. To enter this form, a minimum of 10% of the user’s maximum chakra reserve must be moulded into Senjutsu chakra, all subsequent technique employ Senjutsu chakra until the minimum cost (-10/turn) cannot be paid to sustain the mode. The user is resistant to damage, reducing 30 damage from all techniques and can heal (for 10 damage per turn) for the duration of this technique. The user is able to passively sense chakra and his/her perception and reflexes are enhanced. Their ninjutsu and strength increases, empowering taijutsu and other close range physical combat techniques by +30. Additionally, the user is able to break out of Genjutsu, using Genjutsu release technique one rank lower than what he would normally be required to. And similarly, the requirement to break out of user’s Genjutsu using Release or Chakra surge is one rank higher than required. Lastly, the user gains access to snake anatomy, Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation and other physical feats granted by Sage mode.
Note: Usable thrice per battle by Perfect Sages only. Must wait 1 turn before using this technique again. Once per battle, the user is able to instantly activate Sage mode, with 10% of their maximum chakra reserve as Senjutsu Chakra.
Note: Perfect Sages can convert a maximum of 40% of their total chakra reserve

(Katon: Sanshō̄o no Kate) | Fire Release: The Phoenix Feathered Muffler

Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Self
Chakra: 20 (-5 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: The Phoenix Feathered Muffler is a simple technique that involves the release of fire chakra that will cloak the user. Although this technique fully cloaks the user - as many defensive techniques do, it does not offer the typical defensive properties that a normal armour would, in fact, outside of the fiery golden glow that will emanate from the users visage, and the techniques special interaction with fire techniques, virtually nothing will change as the shroud is almost completely incorporeal. However, when the user is in contact with a flame that is either devoid of chakra, comprised of the users chakra, or comprised of the chakra of one that the user has a blood contract with, such as summons, the shrouds true abilities will be displayed. The user will be capable of interacting with any flame or fire technique that they produce without suffering from harm or adverse effects - such as respiratory problems - not only that but, should they so wish, they will be capable of interacting with fire as if it were a solid, liquid or gas - such as standing on top of a flame despite its incorporeal qualities or floating within a fire. This ability signifies the user as the 'Unburnt', gracing the user with an ability previously believed to be the sole realm of the Dragon and Phoenix. (Does not grant the user immunity to enemy fire techniques).

Notes:
This technique can be used a maximum of twice, will last until cancelled and has a two turn cooldown between usages. Furthermore a rather intriguing and strange effect of this technique is that, no matter how hard the user may try, they will be incapable of using water techniques while this technique is active. Stranger yet, is that the only solid portion of this technique is a feather comprised of golden ash, seemingly immune to anything but water, that will attach itself to the user's chest.
Maintained by:
(Fuinjutsu: Kamei no Gokuin) - Sealing Technique: Command Seal
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description: The user will have a seal that look like one of the symbols below (see spoiler) on either of their hands that will lie dormant until passively activated. The seal only works on jutsu that transform or are donned on the user's body and can only be activated whenever one of these techniques are in use. On activation of the seal, the seal become linked to any jutsu present on the user's body and serve as link between it and the user thus making the seal be the one sustaining the jutsu for as long as the seal remains un-destroyed. This does not however add any power to the jutsu in question as the jutsu can still be negated like normal. The only work of the seal is to make the jutsu remain if not destroyed though as long as the user is able to sacrifice his chakra sustaining the seal itself. The seal passively leeches 20% chakra per turn of the jutsu it is sustaining from the user, meaning if the seal is sustaining an A-rank earth armor, then the seal leeches 20% of 30 chakra per turn to keep sustaining the armor. The seal does not work on basic weapons or body armor, but can work on techniques that forms or mimics them. Works well with techniques like the hardening technique, lightning plasma ball, chakra cloak, etc. Also since the fuin is now the one sustaining the jutsu, the user now have access to use another jutsu/element if the jutsu in question restricts it beforehand. In escence this seal allows the user to keep the armor and focus on other chakras for the duration.

Note: Can only be used on S-rank and below and it doesn't extend the duration of techniques (e.g. Plasma Ball would still last only last 3 turns)
Note: Can only be used once per battle
Note: Can not work on modes

( Katon Kenjutsu - Shakunetsu no u~ēbu ) - Fire Style Sword technique - Scorching Wave

Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: B-S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: N/A (Chakra used from related techniques applies)
Damage: 40-80+30=110
Description: After using Fire Release: Scorching Rage/Berserker/Demoniac the user can channel the katon chakra surrounding them onto their sword focusing the chakra onto the blade. The user can then do a simple crescent-shaped slash at the opponent along the lines of Slicing Crimson Wave but instead launches the concentrated fiery golden chakra into a slicing wave of fire short range in length and solid enough to cut, able to hit targets Long range away. Can also be used to defend/attack from attacks of equal rank or lower with-in reason following S/W. The blade's fiery aura would reflect the strength of which jutsu was active when used. In addition, the fiery aura can be drawn onto a weapon upon creation instead of forming around the user allowing this to be created passively in the same time frame as the technique used to power this jutsu(projectile slash will still count as an active usage).
-Notes-
- Lasts for the duration of which technique was active when used and ends when it would have, and would cost equal chakra to maintain and follows the same restrictions as the technique used before activation (Rage/Berserker/Demoniac)
-If using S ranked version, the duration before Scorching Rage could be used again is increased by 1 turn
- If used for A rank, No fire jutsu above S rank in the following turn, if used for S rank, no fire jutsu above A rank in the following turn
Sealed onto sword by:
(Fuuinjutsu: Baundoenchanto) - Sealing Arts: Bound Enchantment
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15 (-5 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: This seal may only be used on weapons that are in contact with the user. This seal may also be passively applied to the users weapons or formed onto a weapon the user is holding by expending a move. Only activated when the user is utilizing a jutsu to enhance or otherwise affect said weapon, this seal (which is marked with the kanji for "bind") will activate and drain chakra from the user to fuel said jutsu , even when the user uses another jutsu. It will permanently (or for as long as the user chooses to keep paying chakra) bind the enhancement to the weapon by doing so, as it is constantly being fueled. Each turn the weapon will be able to be used as if the enhancement that was made on it was newly activated, so that they may block and attack with the weapon it was used on without breaking the freeform dodging/blocking rules.
- Only one of these seals may be active at a time on a single weapon
- Only works on weapons

Sukautā - Scouter

Type: Tools
Rank: A-rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30 activation 10 per turn thereafter
Damage: N/A
Description: A Scouter is a scanning piece of Ninja technology, contained in a unit that fits over the users left ear, with a semi-transparent coloured monocle that serves as a display, covering the left eye. The colours can vary depending on the users preference but it has no bearing on the usage of the Scouter. The primary function of the scouter is to Scan the Chakra level of an opponent or groups of opponents, displaying a numerical value as well as an arrow to indicate the direction of the chakra source, if they happened to be outside the display-screens field of view. The Scouter is able to pick up Chakra Signals at a vast range, up to a single landmark away; though if multiple Chakra Sources are in the same landmark, it is only able to show the number of individual signals, instead of each Chakra Level. The Scouter will not detect Chakra if the target is using a chakra suppressing ability.
Upon initial activation, it will only show the current level of targets within Long-range of the user, requiring an additional activation cost to scan into the next landmark. Once a targets Chakra has been scanned, it will not constantly update the chakra level as it depletes, instead requiring another activation cost (30 chakra) to update the reading to the targets new chakra level. So long as the user spends the chakra, they are able to constantly track up to five targets at all times, so long as they remain or enter mid-range, unless they use a chakra suppressing ability. The scouter can only track up to two targets if they are long-range away from the wielder, and any targets within an adjacent landmark, will appear as one reading with their combined chakra level displayed on the screen. The scouter is able to track any source of chakra, from projectiles, to clones, to summons and animal companions; anything with a readable chakra source present. This ability to detect targets does grant a small boost to the users tracking speed, granting an equivalent to a 2T Sharingan.
Scouter's are able to provide a direct line of communication with other Scouter's and communication devices, via implementation of a modified script from a communication scroll, however only when the Scouter is active. This communication extends up to three landmarks in any direction and can easily be heard by the wielder due to the device being ear-mounted.
Notes:
-Scouter can remain active so long as the user has the chakra reserves to do so.
-Scouter Tracking speeds do not stack with Doujutsu
-Can only be made/taught by Shinta and a max of 3 can be used.
-Full body lightning jutsu of B rank and higher will short-out the Scouter, making it unusable for five turns. S rank lightning will destroy the Scouter.

(Saiyajin Jakketo)-Saiyan Armor

Type: Weapon
Rank: S
Range: Short-mid
Chakra: 40
Damage:
Description: The Saiyan Armor is fabled to comprised of both ninja wire and chakra metal which is the reason for being very light stretchy as the wire through out is in layers which give it manouvorability, yet, at the same time really durable. Because of the armor’s unique characteristics it makes the wearer capable of reducing up to 25 damage from physical attacks. The armour when forged was inlaid with doton chakra similar to the cannon light weight technique making it so it doesn't hinder the users speed while granting another ability; the Armor can release an instant surge of S rank earth chakra into the users body for a split second similar to the (Doton: Chōkeijūgan no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Earth Release: Ultra Light-Weight Rock Technique, allowing the users speed to increase for a sudden movement in a linear direction up to mid range (2x speed), where their speed returns to normal. This ability activates instantly, lasting for one movement, and can be used only thrice per battle. Another aspect of the armor is the user can release their chakra into it using it to harden the armor similar to the cannon B rank earth Hardening technique, increasing the defensive powers of the armor to that of A rank earth following the s/w of earth release.
Note: Reducing the weight costs a move, can be used twice, with two turns between uses and can only move up to mid range.
Note: Hardening the armor can be used 3 times, is A ranked, can be used once per turn, protecting the users body where the armor covers.

(Katai Omori: Doroppu) Leg Weights: Drop

Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A (+20 to Kicks, 2x Running Speed)
Description:
The user stops, bends over to reach his legs and unstraps his leg weights, dropping them to the ground. As a result the user gains a drastic boost to his running speed (doubles) and +20 to all his Strong Fist Kick-related moves. However, this boost in strength and speed is completely nulified when releasing the EIG or when using any kind of movement speed enhancement technique or weight manipulation technique; they don't add up on eachother.

(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye

Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of handseals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.

To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions, and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop their unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.

Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month having passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks away while those of sage rank can see as far as three away, but this doesn't extend beyond an ocean landmark.
