Coastal Bear Village Once home to the Bartholomew Clan, the Coastal Bear Village lies silent, the Village and it's surrounding lands devoid of all life, left as a barren crimson, almost arid dryland. It is unknown what exactly about the rot causes this phenomena, a one-way transaction that seemingly drains all vitality from anything that isn't the rot or borne from it, diverting it towards the swamp of Aeonia if one were to hazard a guess.
Upon teleporting into the landmark, Hokusai took the air this time as she made her way towards the seas, using her infused summons to conjure wings from her back to take her into the skies.
(Fujitsuboātsu : Thoracica no bodi) - Barnacle Arts : Legs of the Thoracica
Type: Supplementary / Defensive
Spoiler
Rank: A
Range: Short (- Mid for Larger Summons)
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description:
A Thoracica Barnacle or even a Acrothoracica type Barnacle will focus chakra into their tentacle like limbs, fuelling them with strength and making them much longer and stronger. The limbs will now be capable of stretching up to 5 meters and grabbing a hold of a target that the user wishes for the summon using this jutsu to. Because this is the fleshy part of the barnacle, it isn't as durable as the shells but because of the chakra put into the limbs it becomes thick and almost like solid muscle (Not making it any less versatile) capable of standing up to the elements.
The Barnacles Tentacles can be grouped up and thickened so that they can be a bit more versatile and create fleshy parts to aid barnacles in battle. For example they can expand their tendrils which wrap around one another to form an arm. Anything can be made like limbs or wings capable of flight, a tail to whip prey - it's limited by the user's imagination and as long as the creation makes sense. The Size is limited to Short Range so can only be a maximum of 5 meters long from any kind of Barnacle source, whether it be an Acrothoracica or a Barnacle Shell or even a Kozui. However if a huge Summon, like "Sprout, The Gravemind" it will create things proportionate to it's size meaning it's range exceeds short range making it mid.
- Can only be used on up to four Barnacles, A-Rank power would be divided between them
- Any Thoracica or Acrothoracica type barnacles can use this
- No Barnacle arts A-Rank and above in the same turn
- This Technique has a two turn cooldown
Arriving to her next destination along the coast, Leda landed in another beautiful yet seemingly empty village. "Some company would be nice..." Leda said to herself. Although being a loner, who doesn't like a little company every now and then... Continuing her little walk, she did all her training and eating not too long ago... She would take the day to herself for a while before moving on. The sun started to rise... Beautiful, however, still mostly dark about... The village seemed quiet... But that was the problem. Venturing a little further into the forest like area, Leda started to hear feint noises from her sonar ability. She started to follow the noises and behold, it was a group of bandits harassing a local... It appeared that they had wanted some money from him... Now mind you, Leda is no saint... But she also isn't a bully... She could not tolerate bullies and while on her spiritual conquest to find herself and her truth, it became more and more clear that Leda had to stand up for what she believed in... And being a bully and a thief was not in her realm or morality. She crept up to the band of... One... Two... Nine bandits. They were so worried about harassing and making fun of the local that they didn't notice Leda was standing basically within sword's reach. She looked on as she saw the villager struggling to keep himself protect for physical attacks that were bound to come... "You owe us moneyyyyy..." The first bandit said. The second one laughing shortly after. The third... "Yeah old timer... You sell your fish and walk up and down these lands thinking freedom is free. That doesn't fly around here..." the group laughed in unison...
"Hey..." Leda said bluntly... "Leave the poor man alone."
The bandits further busted out laughing... "Beat it, sweet cheeks!" one of the bandits replied. They kept on going until one of the bandits closest to the old man raised his fist. Coming down upon the man with a punch, before it could land on the helpless man, Leda's body flickered and appeared right in between the aggressive bandit and the old man. Leda grabbed the man fists in one smooth motion, tightening her grip... She stared at the man, giving off a murderous intent, stunning him. The entire group of bandits felt this, but the one she had intercepted was truly under its effects... The entire group saw a red dragon and red aura surrounding the Hayabusa...

Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. The ninja will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly. To facilitate the movement, the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.

Description: Killing Intent pertains to the ability of the user giving off their pure killing intention and having it affect their opponent and others around them up to the point of paralyzing them. When the Killing Intent is particularly strong, it can even give the victim visions of their own gruesome death, nausea, pain, etc. This can cause the Killing Intent to be confused with a genjutsu, despite not being a genjutsu at all; simply a showcase of intention and power. The target will feel as if facing an overwhelming enemy and, even if not a sensor, will suddenly feel the pressure of the users chakra and its magnitude, making the effect that much more dramatic. To effectively be used, the user needs to focus on his target and concentrate on the killing intent towards it, meaning that one must see the target and be focused on it. The strength of the Killing Intent is dependent on many factors and go through several levels. If a difference in rank smaller than 2 ranks exist, the enemy will feel only the pressure and the ominous presence of their dark intentions. Its enough to lose your grasp on a weapon or stay clinched to it (depending on the situation) or even to hesitate in an attack, stumble or mess up a handseal, all depending on the situation and proximity. The effect is small and normally not that significant but can be effectively used to pressure enemies into making a mistake. If a difference of 2 ranks or more exist, the enemy will be frozen, almost unable to move as the overwhelming killing intent dominates their own conscious and riddles them with nightmarish versions of death. The paralyzation gradually weakens as time passes and can only be maintained while the user is focused on the target. The further away the target, the weaker it is and it can only fully paralyze a target within short range. Similarly, the more targets one focuses on, the weaker the effect is in each one (divinding the effects equally between the number of targets). Lastly, the stronger the user is in relation to the target, the stronger the effect will be. The target can counter Killing Intent directed at it through pain, "mind cleansing" techniques or their own Killing Intent.
Note: Intensity of technique depends on the rank of the user, distance to target and number of targets one is focusing on
Note: Can only be used once
Note: Lasts only while the user is focusing on it and while focusing on it the user can't mold chakra
As the bandits on-looked at their comrade in distress. Leda sowly and gently put her fingers grasping at the bandit's neck. Squeezing tighter and tighter while looking the man in the eye. Eventually squeezing so hard, she eventually crushed the man's Adam's apple and windpipe, killing him slowly but surely... She let the man go and he fell over, limp and lifeless... "You BITCH!!!" one of the bandits yelled, charging at her. Now, she had the attention of the entire group. Leda smirked... She hadn't seen some action in a while... She put her dukes up but her hands were straightened as if meant to chop. Thumbs inward. This was a stance her father had taught her while she was younger. She had not used this in years. So what better time than now to brush off the dust...

As the bandit charged Leda, he swung hard at her carelessly. Leda smiled, almost laughing as this would be easy for her to dodge... She quickly bent down in a squatting motion, dodging the attack... HOWEVER... Her training from yesterday was still in effect... From the three hundred squats, as she bent down, her leg muscles completely gave in and she fell down completely on her knees. "Shit!" Leda said loudly to herself. "Look! She can't handle it!" one of the bandits said, laughing at her. Leda scoffed and she rotated on her back, using one of her legs to sweep the attacking bandit and kick his legs from under him. The bandit fell onto his back next to her and as he tried to get up, Leda elbowed him in the nose, breaking it and leaving the bandit out of commission. "GAAAHHHHH!!" he yelled, gushing blood and holding his nose. Leda smirked again and hop up in a flipping motion off of her back. But not yet learning her lesson, she flipped too hard and as she landed up right, her legs gave out gain under her body weight and she fell into one of the bigger bandits. As she was falling towards him, the bandit swung and punched Leda clean in her forehead, leaving a very visible bruise... It seems that the bandits were taking turns making their rounds with Leda... However after taking this hit to her head, the bandit stepped to the side and she fell forward onto her face. The big one hit kind of hard... "****..." Leda said to herself. She didn't want to use any elemental ninjutsu because these guys were obviously not shinobi. Just common criminals. It would be too easy. Leda wanted to push herself to use her physical prowess. Leda slowly got up as a bandit to the side of her went to kick her in the ribs while she was on the ground. Leda blocked it with her forearm with ease. She grabbed the attacking bandit's kicking leg and tugged, pulling him down with her but before he hit the ground, she stuck out her foot, pulling the man directly into a stiff kick face first, breaking his jaw... Out of commission... Leda stood up and looked at all the remaining bandits one by one... "Who's next?.." She smugly asked, not smiling at all and testing their very manhood. Two of them looked at each other then looked at Leda...
"ARGGHHHHHH!!!" they screamed before both rushing Leda, swinging and thrashing about wildly. Leda was easily able to avoid the duos attacks. She was used to much faster motions. However she still didn't want to get hit. Her forehead was swollen and bruised from the last hit she took. The two were fighting too close to each other and Leda noticed this. Taking advantage of this, Leda ducked below a unified punch from the two and sweept both their legs, much like her second victim however with much greater force. This was a very concentrated attack...

Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 40
Description: A taijutsu using a combination of speed and power. The essence of this technique is concentrated in a spinning back kick, with such speed that makes it hard to follow the user's movement, smashing his enemy with overwhelming strength. This is a more Powerful leaf great whirlwind.
The attack was so concentrated and heavy that it broke a leg of each of the attackers. Out of commission...
Next go 'round, Leda didn't wait for them, she went for her next target. At this point, they wanted to attack as a group but were so stunned at the woman's capabilities, they weren't quite sure what to do. They had never seen anything like this... Nevertheless, eyeing her next target, she dashed towards another bandit, however her legs gave out yet again... "****..." Leda said again as she fell to the ground. This gave one of the bandits an opening as he dashed towards the off guard Leda with a long metal pipe, aiming to whack her in her dome. But Leda was too on the up and up and it wasn't her first rodeo. Although sore, she was also ready. As the bandit swung the pipe down onto Leda, she poofed away and the pipe landed onto a pile of leaves which caused them to flutter around the area and distorting everyone's eyesight.

Description: Kawarimi no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. When in danger the ninja will quickly substitute themselves with another nearby object. This can be a block of wood or even another person. This allows the ninja to quickly flee and hide while the original object takes the brunt of their opponents attack. The technique is a mix between high speed movement and the use of the transformation technique but has its limits.
The attacking bandit looked all around trying to find Leda to no avail... Where was she... "Peak-a-boo..." Leda said, staring down at the bandit from atop a tree branch. She carelessly launched herself down at the bandit. Carelessly enough for him to swing at her like a baseball, making contact with Leda. However, it wasn't Leda as the clone poofed away in thin air on contact.

Damage Points: N/A
Description: The Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and himself and creates a real copy with form and substance. The clones, a max number of 4, are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after hit by a strong enough force, returning 10% of its individual chakra to the user. Shadow clones can't be distinguished from the original with Sharingan, Byakugan, Rinnegan or normal Chakra Sensing. The clone itself can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained is passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones.
The real Leda was behind the bandit the entire time. However the bandit was surveying behind him where the clone had dropped, not knowing Leda was behind him. Leda charged, cocking her hand back and before he could turn around to react, Leda struck the man in the spine with her palm in a swift and just manner, paralyzing the bandit. "Cha!" she exclaimed while performing.

Description: The user strikes the opponent with a forwarding palm thrust.
Leda looks at the remaining bandits and takes up the stance she had from the beginning, willing and ready... "Next?.." Leda asked again while smiling. Breathing heavily, she was ready to take out a few more. This is the most work she had done since her academy days. Waiting for an answer, Leda counted... "There are three of you left. In which order will you all suffer?" she said as their comrades that were still alive moaned and groaned in pain. The bandits were trembling in their boots and eventually made up their mind to run. Normally, Leda wouldn't let this slide and finish what she started. Savagely hunting each of the rest down. However, she could not deny the ware on her body. She was incredibly sore and exhausted. She let them flee. After witnessing that, they probably wouldn't bother anyone, any time soon...
Sore, beaten and bruised... But victorious, nonetheless... Leda turned back to the old man to say "Well we won't be se..." before she could finish, the man had jet off in the blink of an eye. You would have thought he had opened an inner gate... "Huh..." Leda murmured confused and not realizing that she did indeed batter and kill several men in front of the poor old lad. As a shinobi, this was normal... However, this village has probably never seen the likes of such combat before.
"Phew..." Leda breathed out heavily before collapsing on her back to rest... "I need to lose weight... And train more... And lose weight..." She said, disappointed at her performance. But she was too hard on herself. She hadn't fought in a while. Taking on a mob of criminals using only physical prowess after an entire day of training previously, she had done well. She was thirty... But this wasn't good enough for Leda... She had to psychically train... Her elemental prowess was adequate. Her bukijutsu skills were elite. Her ninjutsu and genjutsu prowess were deadly and precise... But she wasn't happy with her physical ability. She would need to work on this later. For this is what it took to proceed on the path to become a butterfly. But for now... She shall rest...
Waking up the next day, Leda wipes off her face as she felt something icky on it. She looked at her hand after wiping her face and it was drenched in blood. Not her's, but the bandits'. She sat up and took a cloth from her pouch and wiped herself off to look presentable for her next destination... She gathered her belongings and headed out.
Coming from (x)
Alucard and the immortal Captain would make landfall at a bay landmark they hadnt been to before. Their business in the continent would begin now.
Lilith continued to fly even though she reached the continent, swaying in the sky 100 meters above. She continued to fly inlands towards the Port of Innovus.
