Fenchuch

Fenchuch is one of the scattered villages that exist in the Great Wind Desert. The village itself was founded on the site of a rare oasis, to which the villagers have constructed a series of underground tunnels to funnel and filter the water into wells. With water in the desert comes wealth, and so the denizens have built their homes mostly of sandstone and mortar. A vast stone wall surrounds the village and the oasis itself, separating them from the endless desert that surrounds them while also protecting them from its storms. Many refugees fleeing the mines to the east have made camp on the walls surrounding Fenchuch, much to the mixed dismay and extended sympathies of it's citizens.

Kazumi was no stranger to power. When she had wed Heihachi, the ceremony was as elaborate as involving the entire village, gathering up every resource possible to be used on their special day. He promised her that one day it would all be hers. And now that day had come, with Heihachi's disappearance, Kazumi was now the Leader of the Mishima Zaibatsu, and would lead the clan to greatness. Training with her husband and outside in the desert had given Kazumi the strength and wisdom to lead the village no matter what crisis befell it, as well as persevere through hardships. Calling a meeting through the town, dusk fell over the quiet little town as the torches were lit to set the stage. A crowd had gathered in the square where Kazumi stood upon a platform with her bodyguards at either side.

Tomorrow is a new day, as with the disappearance of my husband, Heihachi Mishima, I am now taking control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, and care of this village. I will endevour to make sure that everyone in this village remains safe, looked after and fed, however....


Kazumi flashed her eyes.

If anyone, comes to harm this village I will remove and banish you from our community and you will be forced to leave the safety of our walls.

Kazumi pointed towards the northern main gate.

If any enemies come to take our lands, our people, our food, I will protect you. If anyone comes to harm our life, I will lay down my own before I allow them to come to harm our village.

There was a cheer of applause as the crowd warmed to Kazumi. For as long as they had known, she was the quiet and determined wife of Heihachi, but they all knew of her famous monstrous strength. One time she had actually accidentally punched through the gate while sparring with Heihachi. From that moment onwards, all their training was done outside the village.

My fellow villagers, tomorrow is a new dawn, for a golden age will start where we will prosper and flourish creating a shining jewel in the desert!

With that, Kazumi stepped down from the stage amid the cheers and calls of the audience. It was done, she had claimed the ownership of the Mishima Zaibatsu, as well as the ownership of this village. The Great Mother of the village, Kazumi would now prepare for the work ahead as she retired to her quarters.

The Great Mother of the village, Kazumi would now prepare for the work ahead as she retired to her quarters.

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
- Perform administrative duties (1)
- Collect taxes from those who reside in your landmarks (1)

Summary: With Kazumi now as the head of Mishima Zaibatsu and the leader of the village, it was upon her to know every inch and detail of the land she now owned. This included all the jobs which included the taxation of the land. Kazumi decided to take it upon herself to perform this task instead of letting one of her grunts or low employee's handle it as it gave her a chance to meet each of her citizens. This also allowed her to perform one of her administrative duties which would be to record who was living in her land, so that there was an accurate count of the people inside the vilalge should there ever be intruders.




It was a bright sunny morning in Fenchuch, with the sun rising on the sleepy village as people started to go about their day. It was still the first week that Kazumi had taken over leadership but she was already determined to do the best job she could. On the list of tasks that she had to get through, several were of high importance, one of which included collecting tax from the villagers. She also saw on her list of administrative duties that the bi yearly villager record needed to be updated. Kazumi decided to knock out two in one administrative tasks by going herself door to door in the village to collect tax as well as record those that had come into the village or left, or simply had members of their family enter or leave the village.

Kazumi set out with a few guards after getting ready, instructing them to bring along a chest to store the taxation, while Kazumi took with her the papers and ink set required to write down any changes to the village registry. The first distract to head to was the market district where all the traders, merchants and stalls were. Kazumi noted down all the names of the stalls as she went to each one, meeting the families of the locally run stalls, noting that each one was born within the great dessert itself. Most of them hadnt been outside of the village in years. As she collected the tax from each one, Kazumi deposited it into the chest with her guards, moving on to the next district. It came to the housing district next, meeting all the families and those that lived in this quiet peaceful village. As Kazumi met each family, making connections with those that worked in the markets or those that had business elsewhere, Kazumi was sure to write down and check if any of the families had moved or new additions to their family. She saw that there were 2 new families in the last 6 months, each with 3 members, but two families had lost 1 member each. Well at least thats one new person total she thought to herself.
Kazumi made sure each time that when she got to the family and the next that she would listen to their complaints or their stories. She wanted to be a good leader for them, someone they could trust. Most of the citizens complained that the taxes were a little high, which Kazumi noted, and would think about later. Right now she jsut needed an idea of what the general consensus of the populous was. Moving on to the next district, it was the last one, which housed all the construction and facilities such as the bank, ninja academy etc.
Kazumi went around to the district and noticed how much busier it was, as the central hub for the village. Everyone walking around and going about their business, bowing as they passed her. Kazumi went through all the buildings and collected the taxation, as she did, noting and writing down all the owners, who they were, if they had come recently into the village or if they'd been here for a while. Eventually her last stop was the treasury where she was to deposit the taxation. It was a moderate sum for the village, and Kazumi smiled at the results of her people working hard. She wanted to give it back to them, but knew that it was a necessary for the survival of the village. After depositing it all, Kazumi dismissed her guards and went back to her office to look over her notes and finish the paper work of her administration of the villages public records.

Hmm, Four new families, a total of 20 new people, however we also lost 4 people within the last 6 months...
Kazumi made a note of the growth in the record, and stamped it with her seal to mark it. She had finished her tasks for the day. While there was still a bit of paperwork to go through, Kazumi sighed and decided it was better for tomorrow. She would take care of it later, for now she just wanted to go home and relax.

Kazumi was going through the usual pile of paperwork on her desk when she came across the weeks intel from outside the Great Wind Desert, sent to her by informants around the world.

Hmm.... bounties huh? This could be a good way to spread the Mishima name. I'm sure that they could provide a good challenge as well, looks like a couple are taijutsu specialists. Well lets see how they can compare.

Kazumi would finish her paperwork for the day before adorning her white cloak and walking out the door. As she instructed her second in command that she would be gone for a while, and to take over the daily running of the village while she was gone to collect these bounties.
It was time for her to spread the word that Mishima Zaibatsu had come back into the world.

Uta had arrived in another clan's main land, and he wasn't interested in being friendly. He'd instantly start havoc in the lands, starting by going straight at their source of Water. Using a specific technique that can alter the water source, changing the water within the wells into Stygian Water. With all of their water sources soon turned into Stygian, the entire land would be out of luck. The water would burn through everything it came into contact with, even killing a mass amount of people that were already using the water.

Directly afterwards, Uta goes to the edge of the borders then turns the whole land into a swamp that is 150m deep. This would cause the citizens everywhere in the lands sink while the structures and buildings would also be sunken. Meanwhile Uta dips from the LM

( Suteijian Suiton: Ikari no Yomi ) Ξ Stygian Water: Ferry to the Underworld
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary | Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 30 ( +10 to Water jutsu )
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Designed as a way to increase the user's ability to utilize Stygian Water, this technique is treated as an infusion type ability which is to be used side by side with a regular suiton technique. When the user uses a Suiton technique up to and including A ranks, they can perform this in the same timeframe in order to coat said technique with a thick layer of Stygian water by adding Stygian Water chakra into it and giving it heated, corrosive properties. Alternatively, When a water source is around within range, whether it be a small river or an large pond, the user is able to send his chakra into the source and transform it into Stygian water to create a source for his techniques. Similar to Mei Terumi and her corrosive/Burning elements, the user is immune to being burned by his creations, thus enabling him to physically touch the element whenever his chakra is present, but isn't immune to bluntly being hit by it. This not only provides a source of Stygian Water, but also prevents others from using the Water source unless they somehow over power the user's chakra to cleanse the corrosive water and use it as their own.

Note: Can only be used 4 times with a two turn cool down


(Doton: Yomi Numa) - Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: The user will first perform Boar → Tiger and then by changing the surface of an object beneath an enemy into mud and creating a non flammable swamp, the user can sink his enemy into the mud. The adhesive, chakra-infused mud ensnares the enemy's body, making it almost impossible to recover one's strength and escape from the swamp. The size and depth of the created swamp depends on the user's skill and the amount of chakra used, but if the user is an expert in this technique, it will always be possible to make a fair-sized swamp which is extremely effective against a great number of enemies or when having to face gigantic creatures.

Kazumi and Walter arrive on the edge of the Landmark looking at the changes that had appeared during her absence. A slight frown appeared at the corner of her mouth, as she saw her villagers arriving at the gates making their way over to her.

They explain about the attack and thankfully allowed enough time for everyone to escape, and thankfully due to the deserts heat and the sand, the earth was turned into very fertile land. Not only that, but the moisture from the mud that was there also created a plentiful groundwater underground, forming in the empty chasms created by the buildings that the residents were able to tap into. Even though they lost their original water source, the change to the landscape created good fertile land with a constant supply of purified clean water underneath the village.
Kazumi was confused as to who would attack her, when no one had even heard of her village before. But it didnt matter anymore. Kazumi was home, and the village looked better than ever. They no longer needed to travel to get the water, they had a ready supply directly underneath the village they could drill into, and now the surface below them was earth instead of sand. It was a win win.

Kazumi showed Walter around the village, and eventually left him at the merchant trade district where he could sell his wares. He thanked Kazumi for her job in protecting him and said that he would come visit often.

Note: I discussed it with Zatanna a while back and we agreed I would take control of the NPC from this point forward.

Walter was amazed with this woman, not only did she ferry him all the way here, saving his life a few times her hospitality was very amicable. It was the first time he was treated so nicely, by a person so powerful, usually shinobi were callous or indifferent. This woman however seemed different.
As her villagers approached her and Walter they explained about an awful attack and it was just as that man from Takinomori had said Walter thought. Maybe while she was gone Takauji Ashikaga had sent people to tear through another clan's lands. It was saddening until he learned of the benefits of that attack and how it ultimately helped the surviving people. Life always found a way, and Walter was glad about that.
But the world was becoming a very dangerous place, he would need to find an organization to ally himself with if he wanted to remain safe. He realized that going alone as a merchant from this day forward may be too dangerous and he may lose his life. As she dropped him off at the trade district before she left him he spoke to her about the danger in the world voicing his concern.

Madam, I thank you from the bottom of my old, fragile heart for helping me return to these lands. I also appreciate everything you did for me, your people seem strong and resilient and even though it's not my fault-... I feel I must give you my condolences for the strife and struggle brought upon your people due to your absence. If you weren't ferrying an old merchant home you may have been here in time to deal with this attack. It seems to have actually benefited these lands but if not for me maybe you could have saved these people from the trauma. I feel like that Takauji man that was mentioned by that young man may have done this or he may be trying to whip the other clans of the world into a frenzy. I remember the time before the fall of the Freehold toward the end it was a stagnant period of bickering nothing got done as the nobleman and councilman were hidden away arguing over debt and laws. The clans like yours, the good ones are moving this world forward, while it seems Takauji wants to pull us all back into the past. From the information spread throughout the world it seems like he wants to reunite the Freehold and reign over you other shinobi and your clans or put you all to death like that Sado guy and his clan. Take my words for what they are mam, just the rambling of an old man who's seen a lot of hardships. Walter is a man of his word though and as I promised.

Walter pulled out a large leather bound book with an image of a well-built man of Great Wind Desert descent dressed in the robes of a sultan. He seemed to be offering what little payment he could for her work and kindness. This book was different it seemed to be the entire series he had mentioned earlier in one large omnibus.
He nodded politely and then went about his business trying to sell his wares and information. He spoke about the fall of a man from a far away land and about the various dangers he faces alongside Kazumi. He sold the story to a few individuals through faded whispers. He remembered the land vividly Takinomori was a sight to behold.
He thought that maybe one day he would return. He felt like maybe he could be of use to someone there or even maybe he could be of use to Kazumi. A merchant was a powerful thing in this world, they may not have the ninjutsu abilities that shinobi had but they controlled the flow of information between lands.​

This post marks the start of a mission using these storyboard elements:
-Build something for the Clan (1)
-Lend a helping hand in one of your landmarks (1)

Story: After being away and coming back realising the attack on her lands, Kazumi builds a shelter with provisions for her people.




It was the day after Kazumi had gotten back from her mission to go take the bounty on the Golden Sabbath which she ended up turning into a diplomatic mission to secure allies. It was a sunny day in her village but Kazumi couldn't shake the uneasy feeling of her village being attack and no one there to save or help her villagers while she was gone. She decided that if it were to happen again, she would have to find a way to either prevent it from happening or make an emergency evacuation for her people. Gathering up the workers in her village, Kazumi constructed a plan for them to build emergency shelters with connecting tunnels which would gather into one central shelter under Kazumi's mansion. There would then be an emergency exit as well that led of into the surrounding lands so that should one be blocked off the rest could be used. She also instructed them that should they find water underground as well, to try and form it into a natural reservoir so that her people underneath could have a source of fresh water if they were stuck for some time. They agreed and then set off to work for the following week.

Kazumi was given daily reports of how it was all going and how it was progressing. She was proud of her people, even though they were a small village, they still worked hard to all pitch in and go as fast as they can. The shelters were built but the tunnels themselves were going a bit slower than what she had hoped. No one else in the village used ninjutsu but Kazumi and so everything was done by manual labour. Kazumi decided to go down and inspect the tunnel that was going on to see if she could help in any way.

The foreman waved Kazumi over holding up a lantern to illuminate the work going on.

I came down to check out how it was all going, and to see if there was anything I could do to help in anyway

Well ma'am, it's slow going we have to dig about 50m forwards here to link up with the other tunnels but it could take a few days

Hmm well make your man stand back, I think I can help here

At her command the men stood back and Kazumi placed her hands on the floor of the tunnel cavern, and sending her chakra into the earth it shifted and moved into a long square tunnel that opened up into a small dimly lit tunnel.
With a round of cheers the work men moved forward, hanging up lanterns along the walls as they all walked into the main long tunnels.

As they reached the end of the main tunnel the foreman stated that beyond here, is where the main chamber to hold everyone would be. Kazumi asked them to stand back once more, as they did, and with a stain and grunt, Kazumi placed her hands on the ground, creating a large open room that trailed off into the darkness, 50m by 50m with a 40m roof. Once again the workmen cheered at their leader creating a huge room for their evacuation. With a drop of sweat wiped from her brown, Kazumi smiled and began thanking the men for their work, as now they could get to work digging for water as well as making the final tunnel for the emergency evacuation. They began working starting to chip away at the corner of the room while Kazumi thought to herself;

I think I still have just enough energy left to help out one more time..

Telling the men to stand back for one last time, Kazumi moved over towards the corner where they were digging trenches and placed her hands on the ground. Channeling her chakra one more time into the earth, she created a large deep cavern on the edge of the room. Then after a few seals, she began filling it with water till it was nearly full.

Walking back over to the men, she thanked them for their hard work, and as they did the same. She said that now all they had to do was dig a long tunnel now to the neighbouring lands and their smiles fell a touch as they thought of the long work ahead. With a small chuckle, Kazumi moved off back to her home to rest up for the day.

(Doton: Daichidōkaku) - Earth Release: Great Moving Earth Core
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: This technique grants the user the ability to freely lower or raise the terrain within a specific area surrounding them, in a similar manner to its parent technique, albeit on a much larger scale. The user will slam his hands on the ground which he can then lower or raise the ground up to 100 meters in a large section. The rise will be fast enough to pin enemies to the ground, restricting their movements as they struggle to get up and the drop will be fast enough to leave almost all enemies without a footing (albeit not airborne). Because of the large chakra needed to alter such a large area of the terrain, the user will be able to use it only a limited number of times.
Note: Can only be used twice.
(Doton: Chidōkaku) - Earth Release: Moving Earth Core
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: The user slams his hands on the ground and lowers or raises the ground in the surrounding area at high speeds, allowing them to create giant holes in the ground or avoid attacks. The size of the affected area as well as the depths that it is lowered to is up to the user and rasing earth can be done up to 20 meters tall creating a small cliff or they can create trenches that can be as deep as 20 meters. Other than being moved below ground relative to the surrounding surface the terrain is not altered, plant life and people retaining their same positions.
(Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu) - Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique
Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: After doing the needed handseals: Tiger → Ox → Monkey → Rabbit → Ram → Boar → Ox → Horse → Monkey → Tiger → Dog → Tiger → Snake → Tiger → Ox → Monkey → Rabbit → Bird, the user will form a gigantic vortex of water in the form of a ring in front of him. It will then shoot a gigantic torrent of water that extends water over a large scale, surges upon impact and rises up to several dozen meters high only to collapse down, forming massive waves all around as it does. The effect is such that as its collapsing it resembles a waterfall, hence the name of the technique. In doing so, it resembles a huge wave, with tremendous power that can hollow out the ground. What remains after that technique's utilization is reminiscent of no less than the aftermath of a natural disaster. This is a considerably advanced ninjutsu, and activating this technique requires a fair amount of chakra. The normal use of the technique requires a water source which is manipulated into the technique but some users have shown the ability to use the technique as a water stream exhaled from the mouth and forming more of a gigantic barrage/stream/wave of water rather than the more intricate and complex use of the main application of the technique.

Note: Can be used with a water source or by using one's own chakra to exhale the technique without the need for a water source nearby.

A merchant was a powerful thing in this world, they may not have the ninjutsu abilities that shinobi had but they controlled the flow of information between lands.​
It was odd, Walter knew he wasn't safe here but he didn't know where else to go. To say he didn't have family would be an understatement, he was old, he was alone, and he was in a dangerous world that was changing more and more with each day. It seemed he wouldn't be safe anywhere, anymore not since the onset of these bounties and the numerous raids happening in the world if he wanted to prosper he needed to make a choice. He needed to decide between putting his hope back into the freehold that had failed the world once or the new light emerging these new clans.
He was perusing the trading district while pondering all of this. He learned of the recent developments to the lands escape tunnels, irrigation, various other changes. Kazumi Mishima seemed to care for her people, he thought back to Takinomori. The way that women stood for Sado days ago and named all of his numerous valorous deeds after he had been cut down.

That man, Jack, even more than that the woman who he said defeated Sado. He asked around the village for Kazumi. Maybe he could stay here, maybe he could be of use to her. He sought out the first place she had showed him finding one of her guards. However he was met with a confused, glazed over look and a unsure demeanor. No one knew where Mr. Mishima had gone. It seemed she had a tendency to leave without telling anyone.
He learned that all they knew was she went toward the Lower Barrens so he headed on in that direction after gathering his supplies. He would seek her out in hopes of either working alongside her or maybe returning to Takinomori to work alongside those other people. All he knew is he genuinely needed to find someone strong to ally with.​

This post marks the start of a mission using these storyboard elements:
-Sniff out a dissenter (2)
-Train a small group (2)

Story: Coming back to her people, its time for Kazumi to train up a group of Anbu for her village and personal bodyguard. After finding a string of mistakes, Kazumi finds an infiltrator that is trying to sabotage the group.




As Kazumi returned to the village, things seemed to go back to normal for a while. The village was happy and content, the weather was normal and nice, everything seemed fine. There were a few events on the horizon that Kazumi would have to attend to and leave the village for. This concerned Kazumi a bit as the last time she left, someone had attacked the village and tried to distrupt her entire life, and she could not let it happen again. She had made preparations for evacuation tunnels and everything for the villagers to escape but it was time to train and fight back. Kazumi called in her top trusted villagers and told them about her plan to create a small elite task force of Anbu to protect and watch over the village. They would be silent watchers and no one from the village would know their identity or who they were, but they would be there.

After a few days, Kazumi went to a secret underground chamber hthat was specially prepared for her to train the new recruits. It had everything she would need, training dummys, weapons and tools, what ever Kazumi would have to do to make sure that these people were adequately trained to defend her people and the village from outsiders. A soft patter of feet had come from the hallway as the arrival of the recruits were announced. There were 5 of them following Kazumi's adviser as they entered the chamber, 4 men and a woman. Kazumi recognised most of them in one way or another, whether they were merchants or traders, or craftsmen, but Kazumi could feel a sense of purpose and strength within each of them. As the adviser left Kazumi filled in the 5 on the details of her plan.

You will be shadows that watch the village, silent protectors in its time of need, ghosts that will look over the village and ensure that no harm will come to it. No one will know you protect the village, no one will know that you are the dedicated few who can. Your identity will be unknown outside of your everyday lives, and you will make sure that this village will always have protection.

They silently nodded and understood what it meant, laying their lives down on the line for no praise or acknowledgement to save the people they live with. It was a tough job.

Kazumi then proceeded to train them starting by evaluating their skills and strengths and weaknesses, taking notes of who would be specialised in what. Kazumi decided that with each of them she could concentrate a small elite force that could easily pick off targets instead of worrying about large scale attacks that the village itself could not sustain.
It started off relatively tame, most of them showing skill in the basics of combat, knowing how to throw punches and being able to take them as well. Kazumi would then step up the training, being an expert in Taijutsu herself, she took advantage to show them more advanced techniques. Over the next few days, strange occurrences started happening. Gear started going missing, and things started to hinder the training of Kazumi's Anbu. Kazumi was suspicious at first, but then was convinced that this was more than mere coincidence. Deciding to separate the 5 applicants, she would interview them and see who was the one that would be trying to prevent this force from being established.

The first interview with Makoto went along with no problem. Born in the village, a blacksmith, reliable and strong hearted Kazumi couldn't see or feel any reason to doubt him or suspect him as one of the dissenters.
The second interview Kazumi grew a little suspicious of Tai, but didnt have any reason to suspect him as the dissenter. He was born in the village and went out regularly to hunt, giving him cause to find and interact with others perhaps being paid to hinder the village. But fortunately after checking background sources in the village after the interview, nothing seemed out of the ordinary from his behaviour.
The only woman in the group, Kazumi felt a comradery with her, trying to prove herself among a group of men and trying harder than them top prove that she was as good if not better than them. She was a merchant, and well taught, sly with her words with her silver tongue, Kazumi felt proud to have her in her village. She also decided that Era was no threat to the Anbu.
Then came Jako, and Kazumi put him into the suspicious threat category. He was very shifty, avoiding eye contact, reluctant to answer questions and was hard to pinpoint where he had been in the past month. Kazumi tried to believe that no one in the village would betray them, but the more questions she asked, the more he seemed to almost resent the village. After thanking him and moving on to the last person, Kazumi couldnt help but shake the feeling that it was Jako who was sabotaging everything.
Lastly there was Terra, and much like the first interview, Kazumi had no reason to suspect any treasonous activity from him, as a pillar of the community, and patriotic almost as much as Kazumi herself. She quickly allowed him to leave.

She still had her doubts about Jako, but Kazumi decided to create a trap to catch who ever was sabotaging everything in the act. Gathering them up, Kazumi announced that tomorrow would be the graduation and that they would be presented with their uniforms. Showing them the special outfits they would wear, she told them that they would be kept here in the trunk overnight to be kept safe and making sure that they would be here for tomorrow. With that, They all left and Kazumi's bait was set.
Night had come, and Kazumi had blended herself into the shadows of the chamber waiting for the dessenter to appear. Kazumi wouldnt have to wait long till about an hour after waiting, a shadow appeared in the corner of the room drawing Kazumi's attention. Who ever it was, was excellently train in stealth even in Kazumi's standards, but she couldnt make out who it was, their outline hidden by their cloak draped around their body, obscured by the shadow. Kazumi was positioned on a beam above the chest that contained the unifroms and waited for the target to approach. As they did, the target seemed edgy and constantly looking around. As they approached the chest, Kazumi waited for the right moment to drop, and that was when she saw the explosive tag in their hand. That was it, the traitor. Dropping down and holding a kunai to the throat, Kazumi spoke out.

Which one are you? I trusted you and here you are trying to sabotage the village. Why?


Pulling down the cloak, Kazumi saw the scruffy short brown hair of Jako.

Jako.....

You cant stop them, they are coming....

Who?

The Masters!

With that he tried to turn and swing at Kazumi but she was too quick for him, striking the kunai directly into the jugular of Jako, blood spilling out onto the floor and top of the chest staining it brown for the future. The image of what it takes to protect the viilage and here by known as the the Anbu, to always be covered in blood. Kazumi took his body out and gave it to her associates as they took it to the outskirts and buried it.

The next day came and the 4 members couldnt help but notice the Jako was missing. Rather than tell them a lie, Kazumi took the direct approach.

Sometimes our most dangerous enemies arent the most obvious ones, but can even come from within. Today you have all been trained and acknowledged as the protectors of the village, not only from outside forces but inside it as well. Always be vigilant and make sure to protect this village what ever the cost.

With that, Kazumi gave them each a uniform and mask, keeping the 5th in the chest, making sure that it would always be there as a reminder that one had to be vigilant.
They saluted Kazumi and moved out to start their new dual life.

Coming to the last notable stop before landing in the place he was to meet the ghostly entity, Trunks tthinks about what he is going to say to the being. If his last words fell on deaf ears, how would he convince a spirit to answer his questions?

A message had arrived for Dean from a far off land. After reading the message he came to know that it was an invitation for him to join the Helsing Organisation. He realised it was a nice opportunity to expand his skills.

Dean got his stuff ready in an hour and left the village journeying a long distance to Moon Isle.

[Coming from here]

Horus would soar through the skies, racing norward...

[Leaving Landmark]
While traveling through the land, Raiden sensed the presence of a large chakra source soaring above him. He would immediately stop and look in the direction he sensed it. This was definately one of them. The normal people he stumble across before didn't have a supply this size. Raiden would channel ototon chakra to his hands and clap. Sending the sound waves throughout the land. Instantly paralyzing the ones above as they plummet to the ground. Raiden would then perform one hand seal to sprout wings on his back which propelled him into the sky at the falling bodies he sensed. When within reach, Raiden would simply intercept and hit the large source of chakra with a sealing tag (Sin) to seal off his chakra and watch him continue to fall towards the ground.

Ototon: Midasu no koe ) Sound Release: The voice of Midas
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user charges sound chakra into each of their hands and slams them together, creating a sound similar to two heavy golden cymbals crashing together. As the hands slam together, it releases a high pitched, high frequency sound wave, resonating in the enemies ear, and causing muscle paralysis upon hearing it. As the loud sound happens, it creates an echoing amongst the field, trapping any who hear it under paralysis, causing slight pain to them, causing their ear drums to bleed. Paralysis lasts one turn but the user cannot use any other sound techniques for 2 turns after using it.

Neidan: Taij Dao ) Internal Alchemey: Way of the Supreme
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: D - Forbidden (A)
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 10 - 60 (30)
Damage:
Description: Taiji Dao is the sister technique to Wuji Dao and its polar opposite. Where the latter returns existence to nothigness, Taiji Dao brings existence from nothingness. Fundamentally, the user creates physical, vital, and/or spiritual entities through the use of their Dantian. The user is also capable of returning enties they've erased with Wuji Dao back into existence in the condition they were erased. The constructs and creations that a user can conjure are limited to their imagination. These constructs, if appropriate, are capable of using Neidan techniques that coincide with the dantian used to create them (e.g physical constructs can use techniques with the lower dantian) ( the entities can, not constructs ). Like other techniques that possess the Chakra of the Dragon, the user is capable of keeping track of anything created with this technique via their Taijin ability. The basic application of this technique sees the use of one of the three dantian to create an entity. However, advanced users are capable of combining two or all three dantian to create entities with qualities of multiple dantian. Combining all three of the dantian is the equivalent to creating a sentient familiar. This technique is learned at genin rank and requires 5 hand signs for external uses. Each rank reduces the requirements for hand signs by 2. The upper echleon (Dragon, Head, Master) may use this technique B-rank and below without hand signs.

Lower Dantian: This application sees the creation of physical entities from Wuji (Nothingness). Entities created with this dantian may possess properties of any material state of matter (solids and liquids primarily) and can be created internal or external of the Hayabusa. Hayabusa are also capable of replacing or adding body parts to themselves (or others through direct contact A-rank usage) such as lost or additional limbs, appendages, or wings. Those with medical knowledge can even replace vital organs, tissues, and cells. The limitations of this technique are that: entities created must be 5 meters away from adversaries unless the user is within close range. Entities such as poisons, diseases, or composites of actual elemental natures cannot be created. Familiars created with this dantian alone are non-sentient. All created constructs possess a black reptilian scale like aesthetic pattern, representing Sokotsu.

Middle Dantian: This application sees the creation of vital/etheral entities from Wuji. Entities created with this dantian possess plasma like forms similar to lightning and fire and appear as translucent black energy. The versatility of this application is less than the lower dantian's application as it possesses no such maluable ability to be formed into multiple different states of matter. Entities created with this application is incredibly high energy giving them the capability to burn on touch or even ignite objects and beings within close proximity (ignition at A-rank and above must be within 2 meters of the entity). The user is immune to their own energy's burning effects. Like the previous application, familiars created with this dantian alone are non-sentient. Entities cannot be created within 5 meters of adversaries unless close range is already established between the user and opponent(s).

Upper Dantian: This application sees the creation of spiritual entities from Wuji. This application allows the user to create a seperate sentience within themselves, or others. This spiritual creation may appear however the user deems fit as it is only a mental representation of the consciousness. Unless created within the consciousness of another, these spiritual beings are only concievable, and communicable to the Hayabusa who created it. Unlike the previous two applications, the user may create this spiritual sentience within another as long as they are within appropriate range. However, their only function is to prevent opponents from using mental/spiritual techniques of certain levels (B-rank prevents enemies from using S-rank and above spiritual/mental techniques. Every rank above that decreases the enemy's use by 1-rank). If created inside the user, the entity acts as a partner capable of using upper dantian techniques without the need for the user's input and is unaffected by spiritual/mental techniques directed at the user. Likewise it can block spiritual techniques on the user's behalf as well (A-rank and below starting at B-rank creations and increasing by 1 rank for every rank above B). This application requires one to be chunin rank and is B-rank at minimum. B and A-rank uses require the user to be within mid-range to use against targets. S-rank requires short range and Forbidden rank requires direct physical contact.

Multi-Dantian: This sees the application of more than one of the dantian being used in one specific use. There are only 3 combinations that may arise from this; lower+upper, middle+upper, and all three combined. The former two applications are a minimum of A-rank. Creating an entity with all 3 dantian is S-rank at minimum and acts as an entirely independent existence.

Note: Genin may use this technique up to C-rank every two turns. Chunin may use this every other turn up to B-rank. Jounin may use this technique up to S-rank (A-rank for upper dantian), however S-rank usage requires a one turn cool down before re-use. Jounin are also capable of using Multi-Dantian.
Note: Dragon/Head Ninja/Master Ninja may use this technique up to Forbidden Rank but only Masters can use Forbidden Rank multi-dantian.
Note: Forbidden usage of any kind can only be used twice per battle and renders the user incapable of using any Neidan technique for two turns after use.
Note: All applications and familiars may be maintained with additional chakra per turn B-rank and below -5 chakra, A to S -10, -15 for Forbidden.
Note: Familiars consisting of multiple dantian last 4 turns if they are A-rank and 3 S-rank and above. However, only one multi-dantian familiar may exist at any given time from the user.

Fūin Fuda ) – Sealing Tag
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: A basic sealing technique where the user places one or more tags either directly on a target or on a technique which is restraining it. As its placed, a sealing formula spreads around the technique or the target, sealing it. This technique has been seen used with Sand ninjutsu, Earth, Water, Wood, Cloth Ninjutsu, etc but basically any technique in which you can apply the tags can be used. In the case of expert ninjas, the tags might even be incorporated into the restraining technique, with no need to actually manually place the tag or tags. Additionally, less experienced ninjas can find that throwing one or more kunais with the sealing tags attached at the technique which will trigger the same effect when the kunais stick on the technique. This prevents the target from moving, molding chakra or even being summoned.
Note: The seal takes a while to form, so most opponents can either counter the restraining technique (thus preventing the sealing formula of taking effect) or rip off the tags from themselves negating its effects entirely. If the target, however, fails to counter the restraining technique or is counter to it fails or if he doesn't remove the tags in his next move, then the seal will fully be placed and the target unable to release himself.
Note: This technique is specially designed to be used on summons and Edo Tensei Summons but will work on any opponent except Jinchurikiis.

Official challenge to you....unless you come willingly we wont have a fight u_u

Coming from : Here

Lena had Songbird land, with the close proximity to a village she didn't want to spook the locals by flying a massive bird creature over the settlements. She waited for Smith to dismount before continuing to walk, Songbird took to the skies until he was needed again.

"So, how about we split up when we get in there?"

Lena had a couple of ideas of how to begin their investigation. Though she wanted to give Smith the option to choose which he was more comfortable with doing.

"One of us could go to the taverns and pubs and see what people have to say and the other can seek out figures of important, maybe follow them if they're interesting?"
