Lake Acuity

Lake Acuity was one of the few freshwater lakes in the Badlands. A number of communities had settled here near this source because of the potential of drinking water, cultivating fields and farms in the area.The water is known to have invigorating properties and so an open-air gymnasium has been created near its banks, where people come to train in sports, socialize or engage in intellectual pursuits. Eanna's destruction has changed much about the area though; not only has the debris destroyed many of the settlements, but also scattered into the lake itself and seemingly polluted it. The water is no long able to be drank without developing illnesses, so many people have moved away to find new homes. The ones that have stayed try daily to remove what they can from the lake in attempts to bring it back to its old glory, but there hasn't been many that can fetch the moon rocks that lay at the belly of the lake.

Coming from . Also, starting a new mission with the following elements:
- Fight an individual of comparable strength (3)
- Save a large community from danger (5)
- Guard someone very important (5)

Summary: After coming to terms with her past, Avarosa is woken from her regenerating meditation at the plea of a desperate child looking for help. A vile evil threatens to kill him and his family but unbeknownst to him, he managed to get the attention and fealty of the Just Force herself; Archer of Blue, to defend him. But when the evil threatens an entire town as well, the Archer must respond accordingly...

The Queen sat in an abandoned shrine that belonged to some Old God. She wasn't there to worship, no (she didn't believe in gods, after all), instead she was there to meditate. To relax. Just a few days ago she had been in a bout that almost costed her her life, and she needed time to think about what had happened.

Bel still hadn't returned yet.

There, locked in deep deliberation about her past, present, and where to move on, she heard something... a voice. Was it a cry, shout, or squeak? It was young, though, that was for sure. But as soon as the voice called out it was silenced, and Avarosa was left with its echoes. She decided to ignore it, for the identity of the man who had betrayed her mother on the fateful night her city was raided was still an ephemeral cloud in her mind's eye. She needed to remember who that was, so that Valhalla could have vengeance -- if he was still alive.

But still the voice lingered in her head. Like the echoes of the ringing of a great bell. She opened an eye and stared toward the origin. It was almost evening now, and an enchantingly orange-red sun spilled harsh but warm light through the holes of the dilapidated shrine onto her face. She didn't look away, but instead gazed into the fiery blaze. A lake nearby swished quietly. She relished this peacefulness for what seemed hours. Then she opened both eyes and got up and surveyed herself. The meditation had worked, for her wounds had welled and her chakra pool felt completely replenished.

"...f you can hear me... Save us--"

There was no mistaking it. A child was indeed in distress. Avarosa moved with haste, taking across the lake in bursts of speed unrivaled. This was what she was used to after all: saving people. A just force in times of stress. A Servant of the downtrodden. And it was good to be back on the call.

Even from across the lake she could see a red chakra emanating from the middle of one of the many houses that littered the lake's edge. But this is peaceful land. What could...?

She doubled her pace until she could hear the water roaring in her wake. Something felt very wrong about how that chakra glowed menacingly, and how a shrill scream just traveled across the lake to hear ears. It was enough to stand her hairs up on end. Without breaking speed, Avarosa cleared the lake's shore and the main street leading to the glowing house in three lunges. The house came into view quicker than ever, and a quick survey told her it was a mansion more than a town house, and it belonged to someone important, too, based on its location (middle of the town). She upped the wall of a column, broke through a window, and rolled into chaos.

A lightning bolt in the shape of a red arrow was coming straight at her, or rather, the people that were huddled up in the corner behind her. Without even thinking, she channeled Futon chakra through her leg and performed a magnificent roundhouse kick. The sole of her foot would connect with the outer edge of the bolt and send it barreling to the right, out the window she just gracefully came through. As she landed from the kick and righted herself she could hear what sounded like a shriek, or yelp, as if the people behind her had expected to die. She kept her eyes trained on the source of the bolt: a two men standing side by side with absolute shit-eating grins brandished across their smug faces. She felt her skin prickle. They had the look of pure villainy.

(Fūton: Kōha Senkaigiri) - Wind Release: Hardliner Revolving Cut
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: The user covers their leg with wind chakra and strikes a powerful kick to the opponent. This kick was powerful enough to slice through a mechanical puppet.

The tiniest voice spoke behind her. "You! You came. I knew you would!"

Without turning her entire body, she gave the people behind her a knowing side-glance and responded, "I'm here now, leave it to me."


"Oh-ho! What's this? The cavalry has arrived!" came an indignant yell from across the ball room. It was very acoustic, so the voice filled the room first before her ears. She wished it hadn't. "More people to kill, eh, Berserker?"

At the word 'Berserker' she heard a grunt escape the lips of the man on the right. He was a big lad, an absolute unit, standing almost a torso above Avarosa. His hair was pitch black, and came running over his face like some emo waterfall. She wondered how he even managed to see through all of it. By his side was a sword that looked like it needed a giant to be wielded. She surveyed this... thing as best as she could. It looked like a problem.

The she tilted her head to see just who was huddled up behind her. It was a boy and his sister, terrified to paleness, with blood over their faces and clothes. The boy was holding a sword way too big for his hands in a white-knuckled grip. To Ava's left was the corpse of a woman -- possibly their mother.

The Queen gritted her teeth. Such was the scum of the earth. "Whatever you two think you're doing. It ends here."

"Mama... Papa... They killed them. Why did they kill them?" the little girl asked between sobs.

"I want them dead, blue lady, make them pay for what they did to mama and papa!" cried the boy.

"Remove this obstacle, Berserker, I have matters to attend to!"

The 'Berserker' grunted again and then blurred forward with surprising speed for his size. He came right at Avarosa with an almost bored look in his silver eyes that shone between strands of black. Avarosa smirked and then whispered to the two, "Archer. You can call me Archer," before breaking into a lunge forward as well.

The two met in the middle of the room, where Avarosa nimbly dodged a sword strike by leaning to her left, then countered with a crippling knee strike to the hulk's stomach. After which she continue the motion and spun until she was now behind the hunched over Berserker. As she positioned for a strike to the back of his head an elbow came flying around at the left corner of her vision.

He switched hands...?!

The brute had thrown his sword in his other hand and proceeded to fling a blind elbow behind him to crush her skull. Luckily, the Archer was quick in cancelling her motion before hopping back a few meters out of danger.

"He's nimble, you know. Don't let his size fool you," said the talker of the duo with that same shit-eating grin. "He'll kill you if you don't pay attention..."

The brute switched sword hands again and turned to behold his opponent. Steam blew from his nose and mouth as his now madly glaring, silver eyes bore through Avarosa. Red energy surged around him before he broke into sprint again. Archer readied her arms and focused on self-defense. This time the strike came from below, where the hulk had his swipe coming upward as if he aimed to cleave her in two from the crotch up. She channeled Doton chakra to her arms with a hand seal and brought down a palm onto the blade's cutting edge. The sound of metal on metal was deafening in the rounded ballroom but the force was not enough to break the blade. Not wasting any time, Archer brought her other palm around to strike the hulk square in the middle of his chest and push him back some. But he was having none of it. With a beastly roar, lightning surged from his body in the form of multiple red arrows at Ava, who had to think fast and lift the giant sword --with considerable effort, of course-- and raise its broad side as a shield. Crazily enough, it worked, but by the time she peered over its crooked edge Berserker was already at point blank and kicking the sword. Both Ava and the broad sword was sent flying.

(Doton: Domu) – Earth Release: Earth Spear Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A (+40 to physical attacks)
Description: After performing the Snake hand seal the user will channel their chakra throughout their entire body, which then hardens their skin to a steel-like quality. This increases their defensive power to the utmost limits. The user’s skin also becomes much darker, an almost black colour. The destructive power of physical attacks is increased, making this a great, all purpose technique. But this technique when activated leaves the user vulnerable to lightning based techniques.
Note: Kakuzu bios can use this technique without the need for handseals
She quickly righted herself and formed a mini-bow in her right hand with wind then fired a bolt of dangerously compressed wind. "Disappear!"

The ensuing explosion was grand. Sending chairs, tables, and slabs of stone that once constituted the ground in all directions. Every window in room was shattered immediately and the entire mansion shook and complained under the explosion's might. When it became quiet again --save for pieces of concrete in the ceiling that fell in solitary flakes like scattered rain-- Avarosa waited to see if the fight was over.

(Fuuton: Ichaival no Okurimono) - Wind Release: Ichaival's Gift
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: The user uses either of both hands he has free and pulls in the 2 last fingers, the pinkie and the ring finger into his palm. He extends the other two(middle and index fingers) and simply bends them at the first knuckle creating a space between both of those fingers. The user pulls the thumb inwards, also bent. In that pose the user starts charging wind chakra into either hands, while with shape manipulation he creates a line of chakra in the hook created by the space between the middle and index finger, which looks like a slingshot turned backwards. The wind chakra connects to the thumb from high up and from below the pinkie, until it creates a small string like shape. The rest of the palm starts glowing bright in chakra and then starts changing shape into a very small bolt made out of compressed wind chakra, which can be fired in any form just by releasing the "string" with his thumb. The bolt, when released, will use every bit of the chakra the user put into it. Before the bolt of compressed wind chakra hits the opponent, the highly compressed wind chakra is released, resulting in a big wind "explosion".


Note: Can only be used 2 times per battle.
Note: Must have one turn cool down between usages.
Note: Can only be taught by Exōn.
Note: No S-Rank or above Wind in the user's next turn

From the dust and debris behind her a voice pierced the silence, "Ahahahah! Don't make me laugh! Berserker, show her how a real servant fights!"

"S-servant..?"

A roar of approval, then Berserker's sword came flying at her like a bullet. She only had time to glimpse its black shine before it was right in her face. Using the metallic hands her Doton technique had granted her she had to forcefully punch the sword and deflect it to her right, the reverberation shaking her bones in the process. But in the corner of her eye she saw a blur appear on the right, grab the sword and was now swinging it at her lower back with inhuman force.

The son of a bitch predicted my counter!

As the gargantuan sword came closer Avarosa's eyebrows caught fire, then her hair, then her entire body. "O' Agni", she uttered, before disappearing in a brilliant flare. The swing cleaved right through the flames and the Berserker spun on his heels before thrashing his head from side to side wildly in a search for his target. But she was above, having moved there with untraceable speeds, and was now over the brute with both feet extending into a drop kick. It connected, flung Berserker's head back in a threat to decapitate him, and threw his body through the ground of the ball room, lake-facing wall, and out in the open night air with enough force to cause a small a tremor in the area.

"B-Berserker!"

She didn't even want to leave him a breather. Avarosa dove through one of the broken windows and stared below at the destruction she --or Berserker, rather-- had caused to the town square. Sure enough, there he was, struggling to stand up and breathing heavily. It was a miracle he was even alive still. A kick like that would have torn anybody's head clean off their shoulders.

(Genjutsu: Kawarimi ) Illusion Technique: Substitution
Type: Defensive
Rank: D-B Rank
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 10-20
Damage: N/A
Description:
A simple technique, this genjutsu works solely as a defensive measure. The user will produce an illusionary copy of himself while he escapes the path/area of the attack with a rapid movement, unnoticed and masked by the technique. The enemy will see and hear the user in the original place until the attack connects with the illusionary copy, at which point it will disperse, revealing the true location of the user. The technique can be controlled so as to have the illusionary copy interact and talk in specific ways with the enemy for other purposes, while the user remains hidden from the targets perception. The illusion is often personalized from user to user, namely in its dispersion, sometimes in relation to the users elemental affinity or summoning companions, following a theme unique to him. The limitation is that the user cannot escape large techniques with this ability nor incredibly fast ones, since the escape is his movement and, as such, is limited to small scaled attacks or normal paced ones. Only techniques which can be escaped by moving out of their way running or through movement can be defended from with this. The main limit however, is that, since its a sustainable illusion, triggering any offensive action towards the target will immediately release the illusion, be it a simple taijutsu move or a ninjutsu attack; any aggressive action the user wants to take will immediately break his focus and control over the technique, releasing the target from it. The stronger the user is with the usage of Genjutsu, the more effective and strong the illusion will be and more times can it be used.
Note: This version can only be used by ninjas without a Sharingan.
Note: Genjutsu users can use the technique thrice per match, D-Rank; Secondary Genjutsu Specialists can use the technique four times per match, C-Rank; Primary Genjutsu Specialists can use the technique five times per match; B-Rank.
Note: Movement speed is bound by the users rank.
(Doroppu Kikku) - Drop Kick
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 40+40= 80
Description: The user will jump into the air or be airbourne and delivers a powerful drop kick that sends the opponent flying.

"Tsch! What will it take?!" Avarosa called out as she came flying down with a devastating axe-kick. Surprisingly, Berserker managed to grab his sword in time to defend, and shock waves from the connection sent ripples through the very lake some meters away.

Without lowering his sword, he grabbed her ankle like a vice (much to her dismay), swung her around like he would some toddler, then threw her into a nearby wall. She busted through it, and ended up in somebody's kitchen with flour everywhere. She stared sheepishly at a woman in an apron and hairnet who presumably had been cooking.

"So sorry about this, but you need to get out of here--"

Berserker came rushing in and swinging like a madman.

"Get out of here, now!" she finished, getting up and heading head first into the walking catastrophe.

She ducked under one of his many swings and braced her shoulder into the soft underside of his chest --the diaphragm-- and slammed against it, squeezing the air from his lungs and leaving his dazed. After this a spin back kick would send him out of the house and back onto the bricked road town square.

As she was about to finish the deed she heard the little boy who had summoned her call out in pain. A quick glance and she could see Mr. Talkitive holding him by his colors and pressing a kunai to his stomach. Her eyes widened in horror and she broke into a blazing fast dash, completely forgetting about Berserker.

Right as he was about to push the kunai into the boy's stomach Avarosa grabbed his hand and twisted it. She could feel when the metacarpal bones of his backhand began snapping one by one from the force of her grip. She stare into the man's eyes with a venomous glare. "He's just a child."

"Arrgh! Bitch! Berserker, help! You goddamn useless servant!"

The thundering footsteps, primeval roar, and heavy breather told everyone Berserker was on his way over to them. Avarosa released the man's hand grabbed the boy and then jumped out of the way as Berserker brought his blade down in a blindingly fast guillotine chop.

The boy tapped her shoulder and then offered her help. "Archer, use this, it's my--was my father's sword."

As soon as they landed where his sister was she thanked the boy for the gift, then charged at Berserker, who was now chopping down houses like trees in a fit of uncontrollable rage. Ava deduced the sword must have been made of the best metals and blacksmiths because it held against the gigantic blade of Berserker effortlessly and didn't even scratch. She had just parried one of his strikes when she saw Mr. Talkitive in the distance raising an arm that had a peculiar sealing script across his broken hand.

"Do whatever it takes to kill this bitch, Berserker, then finish the these two Nobunaga mongrels!"

"So that's why. These children are descendants of the Nobunaga..." She readied her sword. "But even so! What kind of shinobi kills children because of a blood grudge?!"

"A shinobi with no morals, that's what," the man replied with a nefarious grin. "Do it!"

The night sky lit up red as hundreds of red lightning arrows sprang from Berserker's body and began raining down on the entire town like artillery fire. Men, women, and children were slaughtered without bias as their homes lit up in explosions. Avarosa channeled Futon, the natural enemy of Raiton, throughout the sky and called forth bands of never-ending wind from the clouds. Like formless hands, the wind became visible and swathed the town in a green hue as they ripped apart each and every lightning arrow with fierce prejudice.

(Fūton: Kū Sora ) – Wind Style: Spirit Void
Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 40 (-10 each time it's used)
Damage: N/A
Description: A technique simple in nature, but extremely effective, Spirit Void was one of Roy Mustang's own creation. Versed in it's defensive capabilities, the jutsu begins once the user channels and sends a a copious amount of his chakra into the skies above, ranging from short to long range all around. Following this ensues an unpredictable and quick movement of visible Wind in the skies, continuously flowing and swerving, seemingly without purpose before heading downwards and disappearing into nothing. However, purely through the users will (or through hand/leg/general body movement for cosmetics) the user can harness the wind power to create a defence which leaves the user unharmed. When seeing an incoming attack, through will the user controls the wind around the jutsu and forms it around the incoming attack, where the Wind would then slices/cut through it and/or blows it away, depending on the nature of the attack. For example, an Earthen projectile could be sliced and cut until it is no longer a danger, whereas a Water attack would be blown back. Of course when being used to defend, the Wind once again becomes visible to the naked eye, showing a green-ish hue. Although the process at the beginning appears to take time, when used within the same time frame of an incoming attack, the defense would be able to work just as well as any other Wind jutsu. This technique will only activate against techniques that it can neutralize (as an S-Rank Wind) and it will only activate once per turn and it cannot be stacked with other automatic defense jutsus.


~ Can only be taught by Erzo. This jutsu can be used twice, lasting four turns each time. Cannot be used consecutively, but instead with a one turn wait after four turns are up/the jutsu is deactivated. Although the user can manipulate this jutsu through will, thus allowing himself to remain unoccupied and free to perform other techniques, when used to defend against other techniques it will still count as one of the three allocated moves per turn.
"Despicable scum! You'll rot in hell for what you've done to these people!"

"LIKE I CARE!"

Berserker roared again, and began releasing even more lightning arrows from his body all over the place. With a fierce wave of her hand Avarosa commanded the wind to devastate the area too, directly contending Berserker's technique in a battle that left the sky an echoing battlefield of light and sound. She advanced on him, and began clashing swords as lightning and wind raged around them, annihilating one another. But something was different with this new Berserker, his actions were a lot wilder now and his eyes were now bloodshot red rather than silver. His breathing was also wild, like that of an animal, and his hair was now flailing above his head like a branches of a tree to reveal his hideous, scar-riddled face.

But uglier still was what he was doing to the town.

She found it increasingly difficult to stay clashing swords with the enraged Berserker now and had to resort to diverting his attacks. Using his own ungodly force against him. Suddenly, the brute stopped paying attention to hear and jumped onto the roof of a nearby two-story house. From there he started cleaving through the shingle roof madly. Avarosa had to take him off there with a well time charge and then keep him away by forcing his attention with a series of lethal strikes. Soon enough they were away from the town and standing on Lake Acuity.

"I grow tired of this. Of you. And your tyranny, beast," Avorosa proclaimed over the black water that was the lake. "Come at me with all you've got. Let's end this right here."

She wasn't even finished talking when the spot where Berserker stood was suddenly empty. His speed had also increased almost three fold by whatever Mr. Talkitive had done. It was remarkable no doubt, his speed, but Avarosa had prepared and as he appeared behind her with a massive sword swinging laterally to bisect her from the torso she allowed her form to take on the water of Lake Acuity and once again, Berserker found himself spinning at the heel from the force of his own swing.

Turning, she then reformed and drove her sword clean through his chest in a slow and deliberate motion. "You didn't pay attention, 'Berserker'," she said before wrenching her blade free and allowing the giant to fall into the lake with a considerable splash.

(Hiru Banshō: Bōka no Jutsu) - Leech All Creation: Attack Prevention Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 20 (-5 per turn)
Damage points: N/A
Description: Using this jutsu, the user can merge with another passive object and take on its properties to avoid any damage. While merged, the user is virtually undetected unless the enemy has a doujutsu. Even chakra sensors won't be able to pinpoint the users position. The limitation of the technique is that to use a technique and mold chakra, the user must fully unmerge although doing so doesn't produce any sound and the user can only be sensed once fully unmerged. The user is still aware of the world outside the object and can travel inside it at his normal running speed. The technique was used so far by 3 ninjas (Yamato, Orochimaru and Uchiha Madara) but as an advanced ninjutsu, it can be used by any skilled enough ninja.
Note: the user must be Sannin Rank and above
Note: Orochimaru and Yamato can use it 5 times per battle, Uchiha Madara can use it 3 times, other ninjas can use it twice.
Note: Cannot merge into mediums which aren't tangible

Part 2/2

Not shortly after, a distressed squealing came across the lake, "NO! My Berserker!"

Avarosa turned toward the man who was on both knees at the bank of the lake sobbing. "You're next, villainous scum," she said without emotion.

"Why did you have to show up here? What business do you have meddling about in my business! You're a blemish here. An unsightly wart. Up until now my life had been so much easier. But now." He got up slowly, holding his broken hand as if it were some weapon. "Now, I'm gonna have to kill you, and everyone in this town. nd then those putrid Nobunanga spawns. Now I'm done fucking around."

"Good. That way I will feel no remorse in ending you right here."

At that he smirked, opened his mouth to retort, but instead released a mass of blood onto the lake. This wasn't normal blood either, for it traveled across the top of the lake like quick silver while carrying with it thousands of small eyes.

"Save... me... Save us! Save... Save!" came tiny whispers from his blood. It was as if each eye was a seperate person struggling to keep their individuality among the many. They all stared in unison, in disdain at Avarosa, and she was shook beyond words.

Her eyes widened. "Wha...What is this?"

"Behold, vermin. Watch as I release Death's Gate. I'll take you and every damn person in this town with me!"

At that he tilted his head back and allowed the blood--which had now turned black and the eyes within it red--to spew directly into the sky like some sadistic water spout. The blood tainted the air, and brought a darkness over the land that eclipsed the natural, moonless night that was already present. This was black on black, and it rendered vision completely useless.

His agonized, blood filled gurgles was the only thing that reminded Ava she was still in reality. The red eyes that now floated down with haunting grace all began converging on her position. Suddenly, she couldn't even feel the water's surface anymore. Was this fear? No, the Radiant Queen was never allowed to feel fear. It was the cries of the innocent that were being tormented by the demonic eyes that kept Ava from passing out.

Something whispered to her. It was hard to tell if it came from up close, afar by echo, or if it ran through the very bones of her skull. Either way, its deathly rasp was terrifying. "I'll kill the brats first, then I'll bathe in their blood as I feast on those pretty little blue eyes of yours..."

"You leave those children alone!" She swung her sword to where she thought the sound came from.

"Or what? You're gonna kill me? I'm next?!" the voice taunted.

The eyes chimed along. "Kill him. Kill us! Kill us! Save! Save!"

"Or..." Avarosa choked. Staring into the many eyes she could almost see the lives they left behind. No doubt these were innocent people once, with dreams, regrets, and accomplishments just like everyone else. Just like herself. And to think here they were, trapped in eternity and forced to torment other innocents. It was all too overwhelming, and the Radiant One could feel her resolve fading. "Or else..."

Stay strong, Avarosa!

"Bel?!"

She immediately bit into her thumb and wiped it across her Griffin summoning tattoo. In a heartbeat the lake was displaced and a ton heavy, feathered and furred beast was beneath her with radiant wings that shimmered and crackled with lightning.

(Kuchiyose No Jutsu: Berufegōru) - Summoning Technique: Belphegor
Type: Summoning
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user bites his thumb and wipes blood over a tattoo placed on a body part and slams his hands on the ground to call forth the legendary and mighty Belphegor, the thunder emperor, Bell is a extremly large Gryphon and is able to carry a total of three people on his back, he is the exact same size as gamaken, but what makes him special is his fur/feathers it has gray-brown-blueish colors, with the tips of his feathers colored deep royalblue, and his eyes are completely blue with the round border being gray. Bell has the manipulation of the lightning affinity, from his birth he trained to master the lightning element and thus he become more accustomed to it, therefore he can use the lightning element upto S-rank, not to mention that his both wings are always covered with S-Ranked lightning when summoned he can use it in close combat, Belphegor does not need any handseals to perform lightning techniques, due to his mastery over the lightning element he even rivals the fire emperor. Belphergor is often refered to as the Lightning Emperor.

♦ Note: Bell can only be summoned once per battle.
♦ Note: Belphegor can stay on the field for 5 turns per battle.
♦ Note: Can only be taught by the holder of the gryphon contract.
"Whatever this guy thinks he's doing, it ends here!" Bel proclaimed in his usual, thundery voice.

"Hey I already said that!"

With a flap of his wings Belphegor dispelled the darkness around them. And the eyes praised his 'kindness' as they were dispersed with it also. The man who caused all of this was nowhere in sight, but she could still hear the townspeople screaming in agony in the distance.

"Bel..."

"I know. On it."

The two took off from the lake and into the skies. Ever since her face-off with the Behemoth King back in Javarechi Bel had been absent and it clearly showed in the way Avarosa behaved. It had been a long time since Avarosa rode on the back of a Griffin. Too long, perhaps.

"Cover your eyes," the beast said as its entire body became luminescent.

Avarosa did as she was told and closed her eyes. What followed next was nothing short of glorious. The inside of her eyelids lit up pink and she got to see the network of blood vessels that ran through the thin skin there for a few seconds. Belphegor was releasing from his body so much light that the darkness was literally being torn to shreds. The eyes that looked into the light became blind and screamed in agony before disappearing. Soon enough, the unnatural dark was driven out and the more natural one was allowed to return. It seemed that all was well again over Lake Acuity.

(Raigen Raikochu) – Lightning Illusion Flash of Lightning Pillar
Rank: S
Type: Supplementaty
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: After performing the following handseals Ram → Horse → Snake → Tiger the user will release a massive amount of lighting chakra which he uses to create a blinding light that appears to emanate from all over the users body. The light can blind any enemy that sees it but its main ability is that, through skill and precise chakra control and timing, the user can use it as a cover to put the enemy into a genjutsu by using the light as a decoy, preventing the enemy from noticing the genjutsu was placed.
Note: Can follow with any Genjutsu the user knows up to A-Rank but needs to have mastered Genjutsu. The user will need to effectively spend two moves, performing both the Lightning Illusion and the Genjutsu; the first only serves as a cover to place the second unnoticed
Note: Can only be used once every three turns
But that was far from the truth. Below in the square Avarosa could see the man--now a darkened, physically contorted version of himself--tearing down the walls of a nearby house until his hands were bloody. "Nobu, Nobu, Nobu, Nobu..." he kept saying hysterically. The kids must've locked themselves inside.

Holding the sword tightly, Avarosa commanded Bel to tilt and allow her to fall directly on top of the villain. She brought the blade straight through his back upon crashing into the ground. Blood and rubble spewed everywhere. With vengeance she twisted the blade then wrenched it free from his body before stabbing a second time. The black blood that spewed carried the same red eyes but Avarosa was already numb to them.

Even as Ava bore into his back the man ignored her. Instead he continued to crawl toward the house. "Nobu, Nobu, Nobu!"

"Give. Up! Leave these children alone!"

"Nobu, Nobu, Nobu, NOOOBBBUUUU!!!"

It was like he had been struggling to hold his form all along. The man's entire being began writhing as bubbles of flesh and blood grew all over him in varying sizes. His skin tore open at the back and two skinny black wings emerged with an eerie shimmer. Breaking its own arm at the shoulder joint, the creature reached around and grabbed Avarosa by the collar. It then brought her up and over its head to slam her down on the ground before it. Then, instead of finishing the job, it broke into a sprint toward the house.

Getting up and rubbing her sore back Avarosa could see the huge hole the creature made into the wall of the house. She too broke into a sprint after it. Inside she saw a farmer using his pitchfork to keep the creature off.

"G-Get back, I say!"

The thing smirked, revealing fangs as tall as kunai. "How cute." And with a blindingly fast swipe of its lithe fingers the farmer's face was suddenly split into four equal parts and he fell to the ground a convulsing corpse.

Avarosa's blood boiled. With a war cry she never knew she had she charged at the creature with her sword in hand. The first swing removed one of his arms while the second was intercepted by clawed fingers followed by an elbow to the face that left her seeing fireflies. In her dizzyness he grabbed her throat and slammed her onto the ground. From his gaping wound a new arm sprang and he used it to hold the blade of the sword.

"I grow tired of you... woman," he said as he began pulling it from her grasp.

Fearing his strength, Avarosa focused chakra into the blade right as it was ripped from her clutch and thrown across the room. As soon as she was disarmed he brought both arms around her neck and proceeded to choke the life from her.

"I guess I'll kill you first."

She tried to plead with whatever humanity he had left. "It... isn't too late, whoever you are... You can still walk away... from this."

"For me? Maybe. For you, no chance in hell. You'll never walk away from this. You should've kept out of my business, bitch."

Her consciousness began fading slowly. In the corner of her eye she could see the boy and his sister staring in wide-eyed horror. Her primary mission was to protect them even though she had no connection or even knowledge of them. She never bothered to question why, in fact, questioning it would defeat the purpose. She didn't need a reason, they were innocent people in distress and she was the Just Force. It was her duty. She glanced at her sword, which was now a lifetime away across the room still coated in black blood from where he grabbed the blade.

"You had your chance," she gasped, activating the chakra in the sword.

Immediately, a bullet of focussed wind sprang from the hilt with so much force the sword was thrown back from the recoil out the hole in the wall they came through. It lanced straight through her would-be killer's skull, sending black muck all over the room that would stain for years to come. His lifeless body fell on top of her and began to ooze the blackness onto her being.

(Futon : Gara no sagi) - Wind Release : Hilt Deception

The user if they haven't directly fused Wind into the blade can do it from range by performing a hand seal, the Wind will then shoot from the blade's hilt afterwards.

-Can only be used three times
-Can only be taught by LonelyAssassin
Disgusted she shoved it off and got up. "You guys, okay?"

"A-Archer..." the boy began before bursting into tears.

"Hey, don't cry, don't cry," she said walking over to and holding him. "Stay strong, buddy, don't cry. It's over now."

Outside there was a collective roar as the many eyes found peace. "Free! Free! Free!" they cried in unison.

She led the two children out of the house where she would survey the destruction caused. It was immense, appearing hellish, even. It painfully reminded her of her own village that was decimated years ago. But unlike her people, she would help this town rebuild--no matter how long it takes.

"Your sword, Archer."

She smiled and pushed it gently back toward him. "Haven't you heard, Archers don't use swords. That's yours. I'll even teach you how to use it someday."

His eyes beamed. "R-really?!"

"Sure thing." She paused. "What is your name, kid?"

"Kayn. Kayn Nobunaga. And that's my sister, Ori."

"Nice to meet you, Kayn. Something tells me we're gonna be good friends."

Coming through these lands, Uma sets up camp and starts a camp fire by the lake..
Upon entering the land Desmond took in all the sites and headed towards the chakra signature he had noticed before. Approaching from her backside Desmond noticed that she had horns and his first thought was "Otsutsuki?" be then upon closer inspection her chakra bore no resemblance to his ruling out that option. The group would stop and Balthazar would move to the left giving Desmond a clear line of sight as he spoke Might I ask if there is any particular reason you're treading so close to Tsumi lands?

Uma was relaxing when some kid approached from out of nowhere. He questioned her about why she was so close to the lands belonging to the Sin village. Uma would simply pour a wooden cup full of Rum and hegin to sip on it.

"Don't question me boy, your horns aren't even worth the look... BUT, i have a little friend that lives near... You drink rum?"

She said thisa as she held a wooden cup up for the boy to take..

"Boy? Horns?" these thoughts would go through everyone's mind as Desmond and his party all simultaneously tilted their heads in confusion. Snapping out of the daze Desmond replied, Unfortunately no I tend to want to maintain control of myself at all times, also it seems you may be a little tipsy yourself as I don't have horns and your judgment of age is horrid. Desmond would shrug Anyways who's your friend maybe I know of them?

Now that Uma had a better look, the guy didn't have horns. Not at all. Wasn't that some shit. Maybe she was a bit tipsy. Or he hid his horns?

"Ahhh. You're a sly one ahahahaa Maybe i am tipsy. What of it, no horns? Ahahah But my friend? Arggg. What was his name.... He's a little one. Like this tall... He has the deepest of widows peeks. BUT OH MAN CAN HE FIGHT. That's where we met. We were on a battle field. He's tiny but he crushes men's spirits as if he had the biggest of horns!!!"

Uma would continue going on about her tiny friend, forgetting that Desmond was even present for the moment.

Desmond didn't even have to think as Vegeta immediately popped into his head, Vegeta is the name of the man you're talking about and as I currently don't know his location I am headed to our capital. He may or may not be there if you want to tag along.

Lake Acuity


Lake Acuity is one of the few freshwater lakes in the Badlands. A number of communities have settled here near this source of drinking water, cultivating fields and farms in the area.The water is known to have invigorating properties and so an open-air gymnasium has been created near its banks, where people come to train in sports, socialize or engage in intellectual pursuits.
Itinerary
Start: Graveyard of Sin (115)
Warenaiwa (114)
Coral Cliffs (112)
End: Lake Aucity (108)

Mission
Offering the following as a Village Mission with a 20% increase via Colonial Income/Village Kumi.
Hospital: Gather Medical Supplies
Rank:
D
Description: You have been tasked with seeking out, obtaining and returning with medical supplies. This mission covers anything from herbs, tools, flasks, clothing, in general, anything you think a hospital would need. You can search through the landmarks in the Badlands of Earth, for herbs or medicinal substances you believe would be useful or you may seek out a medical shinobi directly and ask them for some supplies. Usually, a medical shinobi from Tsumigakure will be more than happy to help you in your mission to obtain items that can be donated to the hospital found in Takinomori ( 117 )

RP Starts....Now!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Takeno at long last had made his way wandering through the badlands of Earth to Lake Acuity. He has often heard tales of the invigorating properties the fountain possesses from his mother. She spoke of an almost heavenly source of drinking water situated in an area usually described for its barren nature. He at last was finally face to face with the mystical waters. He took a deep sip of these waters and felt almost immediately invigorated.

The tales hold true I see

He noticed a group of people stretching along the lake, and asked to join them in their activities, in hopes of asking them about any prevalent flora they seem to have. They were more than happy to oblige, and invited the young shinobi for a relaxing moment in the gymnasium. He agreed, after his long journey through rocky cliffs and dry climates. He took the time to refresh himself. He had been on two back to back journeys around the badlands, and even though he had relatively safe travels, his body was in need of a break. He practiced meditation among the townsfolk. While they sat still he constantly opened his eyes to view the lake, the townspeople, and the open gymnasium. He constantly fidgeted and was unable to relax like this. He instead laid down and looked up at the bright blue sky.

"You know we grow valerian here right."

Takeno got up, to see a young lady, not much older than he was looking over him. She had a mona lisa smile, and thick rimmed glasses.

"So people can calm down... like you"

It was true, he was unable to relax, and valarian is a calming herb that could be useful to the hospital. But he didn't just come for the plants he knew, he heard of a new type of herb to him: pokeweed grew around this lake. He heard of its ability to change the route of almost any disease, as an antiviral, and is great for cleansing out the organs especially the liver. He had never heard of such an unusually useful plant before ever in his life, and wished to acquire and log it in his notebook.

"I do know actually-" Takeno replied to the girl.


"Well excuse me then Mr. Smarty pants. If you knew that then why didn't you use it to get rid of that fidgety leg of yours"

His leg was shaking an awful lot. He had never had time to really sit and ponder his thoughts. He has always been on the move, and the sensation of any "downtime" surprised him. He pressed her on

"Sorry to come off so
condescending, I just did not realize it was readily available."

"woa it was a joke dude."

The young girl smirked, she knew he meant well, but socially wasn't the easiest to talk to. She offered to help get him some valarian for his nerves, and some extra for his village.

"o-oh thank you!"

"No problem. Now leave the heavy workout guys are about to come in here and you do NOT wanna see their workouts"


Takeno headed this warning and continued his quest in looking for the pokeweed. He didn't have that many references to go off of tho, so it was more of a mindless wander. After twenty minutes, the girl who was looking at Takeno's "educated guesses"
"Do you know what your looking for??"


"Y-YEA OF COURSE I DO!!!" Takeno was embarrassed. How could he not find a simple herb like pokeweed. He prided himself on his knowledge of plants, how could he not find this one simple plant.

"Alright dude what are you looking for..."


"I'm fine I don't need your help!"





"Ok..... I need your help...."
Takeno had been wandering for half and hour. He was exhausted. His frustration turned into fatigue. He had gone long enough without receiving help. His pride was not worth another unbearable second of this

"Glad you came to your senses you dummy! So what are you looking for?
"
"pokeweed..."
"Oh that's simple!!"

Takeno watched her go through patches of untamed tangled plants that he had overlooked and pull out multiple specimines of pokeweed. At the end they filled up a medium sized bag full of pokeweed.

They retired to the gym so Takeno could pick up his things, including the valerian and pokeweed. He thanked the girl for her help.

"Hey! Remember not to be so uptight. People are here looking out for you. mkay?"

"O-okay!" Takeno had to stop having that solidarity outlook on life. He is now part of a village, with people he can look up to for wisdom, and help. He took his leave for Takinomori.

House of White: Protect and Serve
Rank: B
Description: Your mission is to travel to an occupied land and explore the area, investigate for any intrusions and deal with any problems that may arise. You are to check in on a group of NPCs learn about them, and their problems, and help them to prosper and grow as a community. This can go in one of two ways, the first is you can build something for them, a well, a shrine, a defensive area, a farm, and crops anything that helps them in some way. Or you can fight off an incursion that has taken place protecting the people in their darkest hour. Either way, you are expected to put in B-rank effort. You are to follow this endeavor up by creating a report of your actions, what you found in your exploration and making sure it reaches the hands, eyes or ears of a council member.

:Mission Start:
Takeno walked towards the lake It was a gloomy day, with a slight rain. He had sustained some minor bruising, but was well enough to tread on. He walked towards the lake, hoping to find the girl from his last visit or someone he met in one of the gyms, when he realized there was a problem. Not a single soul was in the outside gyms that usually could be seen to have some sort of course running 24/7. He, confused at the change of pace, went to the main town to find it in cold and barren. He looked around. Fear started to fill his heart, and he could feel his heart rate start to rise.
"What happened? Are they all dead? What-- What?"

"H-Hey there long time no see."

Takeno hearing a familiar voice turned around to see the girl he met his last visit here. But she was different. She was skinnier, and dirty.

[Head] What happened here??


"Hey- you. What happened here?"

The girl visibly upset Takeno did not remember her name brushed away the minor detail. There were more important issues at stake.

"The village has had a pest issue-- a human pest issue."

She pointed to the outskirts of town where a house situated around the farms resided

"Some pesky little ninja decided to stiffen off our food supply. Any attempt at rebellion was futile. We had no experience fighting, and no way to defend ourselves." The girl looked down at her feet as if her head had become too heavy for her head. She started to cry. "I couldn't even help myself. What use am I if I can't even help protect the people i love and care for."

Takeno immediately had a flashback. He recollected how his mother had shielded him from the world for so long, and threw him into it with no wings to fly with. He was not the social butterfly, or extroverted like his parents. He was quiet and spent so much time to his own devices, he became alienated among other kids. One day he came home crying. His notepad had pages ripped out of it, and childish doodles mocking him scrawled about. His mother saw the notebook, pulled him aside and said,

"I know you have trouble with other kids; But giving up has never been an option. Life can always be twisted and destroyed, but it is up to you to find your path, your own creative journey to become a rose arising from concrete. Take this inconvenience and break through."
He flashed back to reality. The girl looked at him concerned. He had been looking at the house for the past five minutes.

"H-Hello?"

"I'll be right back"

"Take this inconvenience and break through..." He knew what he had to do. That ninja had to be excavated. He would perform two hand signs and a clone would pop in front of him walking towards the door as he slinked away to a safe location around the corner of the house

(Bunshin No Jutsu) - Clone Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: E
Range: Short
Chakra: 5
Damage: N/A
Description: A clone made of the user that can move but(cannot use any jutsu)This clone is merely an illusionary projection of the user.

The clone would stop, and knock on the door. Takeno heard footsteps, and waited around the corner to complete his tactical assault on the lowlife. He would hear the footsteps stop. He was at the door. Takeno got ready to strike when he heard a loud noise come from behind the door. Then all of a sudden a stream of water shot out, dispersing the clone and destroying the door. Takeno did not plan for this, but continued on, using the smoke and dust stired up from the attack as a natural smoke screen

"IMMA GIVE YOU THREE SECONDS TO REVEAL YOURSELF YOU PESKY LITTLE RAT!" The shinobi looked to be bout Takeno's build. He seemed to be a couple of years older, and taller. "I can take him"

THREE!!

Takeno got ready, this attack would have to be it. He quickly started spewing hand signs

TWO!!!

Takeno knew he could go for a kill. He wasn't adept in any sort of true 1v1 scenarios, but he knew how to lock his opponent down. A clone popped in front of Takeno and started to charge at his opponent, prone for attack

THERE YOU ARE YOU SONOFA--!!

All of a sudden, the clone's body dispersed into pedals, dispersing itself and distorting the shiobi's vision
( Genjutsu: Kasumi no Jutsu ) - Illusion Technique: Mist Technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user creates an illusionary clone that charges towards the enemy, jumps, then explodes in a cloud of cherry blossom petals which results in confusing the opponent and obscuring their vision, leaving them open for attack.

"Ha got him!!" Takeno immediatly rushed in for the attack, he took out a cloth from his back pocket, and wrapped his opponent. The shinobi fell to the ground, struggling to comprehend what had just happened.
(Menoshibari no Jutsu) - Cloth Binding Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C-A
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 15-30
Damage: 30-60
Description: The user uses a giant roll of cloth to tightly wrap up the opponent, completely immobilizing them, thus preventing them from moving or using most techniques. However, the technique is drastically limited by its relatively short range in comparison to other attacks, which results in an inherent danger when approaching the opponent in order to restrain them, meaning that another technique may first need to be used to reduce the potential risk involved. It can be used to attack or defend in a multitude of ways as the user has control over the path of the cloth, its movement, etc. It can even crush enemies inside if needed. It used with the application of Sealing Tags, the target will not be able to escape the cloths binding.

Takeno marveled in his win, and the girl came over from her discrete location away from the fight to take a look at the shinobi who had terrorized her town. She tore a small hole in the face area so as to see his face, but not fully release him.

Who are you? Why did you take our food? Who's village are you from? What was your plan in doing this? ANSWER ME!

The shinobi now understanding he had been caught. He was still reluctant to answer any of her questions:

None of your buisness you bi- AHH!!

Takeno tightened the cloth around him, constricting him. It was no use. Any act of resistance was futile. It was either co operation or death.

Ok OK!! Calm down with the tightening... sheesh. I'll co operate.

Now... uhh.... whateva your name is, my name is Shishio, and I took ya food cause I could so what big woop...

The girl was visibly enraged. She had seen her own townspeople starve. Some of them tried to resist, but any attempt until this had lead to an utter defeat and confiscation of more and more goods. She was enraged someone so selfish could exist. She boiled with pure hatred. Shishio smirked at her anger while Takeno realizing her anger was tempted to try and calm her down, but he had to keep the prisoner in his restraints.

She put her foot on Shishio's face My name is Hana. You know I can't wait for my dad to come back from his mission, he would have sent you to the depths of hell you crawled out of

Oh im so hurt darling... NOT!

She put both arms to her sides and was close to kicking him in the face when Takeno glared at her, motioning to her to stop. She calmed down. She looked him up and down. No form of identification anywhere on him. No headband, embroidery, clan patch. He was like a drifter in space. She reasoned he didn't belong to any clan or village. She took out a slip of paper with weird marks going towards the center with a picture of a collar on it. It was a sealing tag. She slapped it onto his forehead.

You can take the bandages off of him now I got him under control

Takeno released the restraints and the bandages fell to the ground releasing Shishio, who immedeatly jumped up and went for a cheep attack on Takeno

Down boy!

Shishio's body fell towards the gound in a praying position: forhead to ground butt in the air. Hana smirked. Upon closer examination the sealing tag looked different. There was in the middle a drawing of a leash. Takeno took notes of this new sealing tag

My own family specialty: fuinjutsu. Using a sealing tag all I gotta say is the magic word and you will be on all fours like a little puppy.

H-Hey thats cheating!!

That's rich coming from you!!

Takeno watched as the argument persisted, walking into the house the shinobi stayed in. There he found large troves of food, goods, and herbs. He was probably trying to source the lake and bottle the natural resources that are in this location for a profit. What a scheme. He called the two who were still bickering outside

"Hey! Can you help me with this stuff in here?"


O yea well maybe if you werent such an ASS we wouldn’t have to do this huh!

Well dont make it so easy t--

"STOP ARGUING SHEESH!!"

They both straightened up. Takeno wasn't one to scream, the girl knew this from their first encounter, and the seal lifted Shishio upon its owners wishes. They both came to help give the people on the town their belongings, along with a hefty ration of food. They walked through the town, the raining had dissipated, and the towns people started to come outside at the news that their perpetrator had been captured. They rejoiced in the streets as much as their hungry bodies could, and filled their bellies with food. The town however now had a new issue: Shishio. He walked freely (ish) and did nothing of use for the village. Many wished to get rid of him, but Takeno had different plans for him. Since he took the towns food by force, he shall give food by force through any means possible. Whether that means hunting or farming, he was now an integral part of the town. After a long journal entry, takeno saw the good he had done, and took his rest within the town.

He woke up the next day feeling refreshed. He met up at the center of town, were a gathering had occurred. There he witnessed Hana teaching the townspeople basic fuinjutsu and genjutsu techniques. He made sure to log the experience in his journal.

Place the symbol in the center to complete the tag...

She was a natural teacher. She explained complex jutsus in a matter of minutes, and even had a test subject: Shishio.

Down boy!!

NOT AGA— ACKK!!
Shishio not able to get his words out plummeted head first towards the ground in a praying position. Takeno let out a chuckle “Thats never gonna get old...”

After the day was over, most of the townspeople had a decent understanding of D level taijutsu, genjutsu, or fuinjutsu. Takeno was pleased with the progress of the town, logging it into his journal for notes, and took his leave, saying goodbye and good-luck to the townsfolk of Lake Acuity.

“Til we meet again...”

Coming from 109

:rp starts:
House of White: Take on Me. Rank: C Description: You've been tasked with watching over the growth and development of another villager. You're to accompany them on their mission or activities in the Ninja World, aid them in their endeavors and help them finish the task that they were sent upon. You are not expected to do their work for them but you are to defend them should they be attacked, stalled or persecuted. This requires you to fight off at least one interaction with another group be they bandits, highwayman, or residents of another land. You are to work with the person you've been tasked with guiding and explaining any other responsibilities they may have as a villager of Tsumigakure sent upon a mission.

Takeno walks into the town. the area had reverted back to its original state. The gyms ran 24/7, there was a meditation ring at the edge of the lake, conversations buzzed the town square, it was almost as if the events prior were a bad dream. He walked through town looking for a specific person.

"TAKENO!!! Over here!!"

Takeno looked over his shoulder to see Hana sitting in a ramen spot. He sat down and greeted Hana to see Shishio sitting across from her with the familiar seal tag on his forehead. Takeno would explain his mission:

"Now that Shishio has payed of his debt through service, I have been tasked with following him around. I am to facilitate woth your development in the town. I will see that your transition goes smoothly." Takeno spoke with a smile, looking towards Shishio who had now stuffed his face with food. He looked at Takeno with lament.

"So let me get this straight... you... the son of a gun who got me into this situation are hear to look over my life?! WELL LET ME TELL YOU YOU TWO FACED FU---" his face would nose dive into the ground.

"What did we say about language Shishio... anyways that's as swell idea! We have faced some hostility from the villagers hit hardest by this little gremlins schemes

"I AINT A GR--" His face would be shoved in the ground harder

"So any help would be great!" She put a thumbs up and a smile to try and mask the issue, but the towns hostility against Shishio was clear. They treated him like a sinner. Any facility he was in most everyone left or threw rude remarks his way. It was happening as the chef of the ramen shop looked at Shishio through cold eyes. Takeno tilted his head, looking at Hana's face for more detail on the "hostility" but she just sighed and shewed the two away.

Takeno and Shishio took to the road, Shishio leading the way to his house. The house was more of a small shack situated like a dog house outside Hana's home. Shishio quicky ran inside and came out with an empty bag.

" I gotta collect herbs... for Hana she needs them."


"It seems like you two got close--"

"Shut it paper boy"


Within the hour the two had found an area and were almost halfway through the task. They had a good yield of chamomile, horebound, and galangal, when a group of youngster boys come over. The look past Takeno and move in on Shishio. Shishio keeps his head down, picking away at some eyebright.

"Hey shitshio" they kicked his bag over, dumping its contents out on the ground. Shishio immediately got up, but the boys knocked him over, "Awww did the wittle puppy forget his chakra is sealed with that tag" they would point at Hana's tag on Shishio's forehead

So THATS how it works...fascinating

Takeno got up, and stood in front if the kids. He held a scroll in one hand, and his other hand was balled up. "Tsk, and what are you gonna do about it, your just a little shinobi! Your not all your cracked up to. Matter of fact fight me you little--." Takeno would open up the scroll and a pole would pop out hitting the kid square on his forehead, Takeno would kick him square in the chest. Takeno would then get on top of the kid as another weapon; a kunai; would pop out the scroll. Takeno would catch the weapon and Would look at the kid

"And your a snotty little brat who needs to learn some manners. This guy is trying to do better for himself and your community and all you can think of is how you can personally make his life a living hell" Takeno would stab the kunai into the Earth three meters away from the boys face "I have eyes everywhere in the town you hear me!? If i hear even the inking that you have caused issues for anyone, this kunai wont just be covered in dirt... k?" Takeno would get off the kid who had wet his pants. The group discouraged by their leaders fear fled the scene leaving the kid on the ground to run home. The weapons would disappear into thin air as they returned to the scroll, and Takeno would help Shishio pick up all of the herbs that had been knocked over. They went back home in silence.

They returned home and Shishio thanked Takeno for his help but he seemed...off. Takeno asked what was wrong:

"Nothing... im used to it now. You really didn't have to help me back there, I would have been fine. Bruised but fine..." his tough exterior was cracking...

"How long had this been happening?"

Shishio looked down.
"since you left.."
Takeno knew this was no way to live. He had seen enough to see that the tag that originally was meant to protect the towns people now caused more problems than its worth. He reached out to Shishio's forehead, Shishio leaped back in recoil.

"H-Hey it's not that simple pal!"

"Let me try at least..."

"Its not gonna work!"

"Can i just try at least.."
"Ive already tried to dumbass!"

"Just shut up and let me try!!"

Takeno put his hand on the seal, and it started to react, burning Takeno's hand. Takeno bit his lip, and pulled with all his might. The tag ripped off of Shishio's forehead. They both looked at it in awe. The cursed thing was gone...

Shishio startd jumping with glee! He was free from his shackles! He still had to rest to get back any of his strength, nut he was free. He hugged Takeno, Takeno looked at Shishio with bewilderment at this level of affection.


"I-I'm...free." It sounded as if he had wanted to say that for eons. "T--Th-THANK you!" He tried to go in for another hug but Takeno put his hand up " You can keep the tag off as long as you promise me one thing: don't do anything too dumb. I can't bail you out of everything."

"Dumb-- you got some nerve pea brain."
There was the good ol' Shishio "Even if you did how would you know its not like you have eye's everywhere... wait do you"

Takeno would walk back toward the graveyard as Shishio yelled out his questions. He smirked as he folded his hands behind his head walking back home.

Takeno walked into Lake Aucity, trying to keep his distance from the locals. He had no idea what the virus had done to them, and was not too keen to see what the sickness had done to his home away from home. His headache was really starting to pick back up, his temperature was rising again. Takeno took out a thermos with some emergency bloodwort tea, He took some sips as he scavenged for bloodwort, astragalus, and comfrey growing in bushels, rooted pairs, and shrubberies located all around the Lake. He sat down and thought about the small town located behind him. After seeing the villagers in Tsumigakure, what could have happened here? Where the townspeople sick? How were his friends? Shishio? Hana? He bit his lip, as his mind raced to the worst. "Stupid Takeno...always like you to think of the worst case scenario...they are OK! You gotta stop worrying so much..." He had located some bloodwort, and smiled. "Finally some good news for me to take back to Takinomori." He had gotten a good jarful of the root, and moved on towards a different outgrowth, hoping to find some astragalus shrubberies to harvest.

He was now about an hour into his collecting. He had found some astragulus, about half a jar, and had started scavenging for some comfrey when he heard a rustle in the leaves. He looked back, and saw nothing. "O-ok.. ok m-must just be the wind or something right... right!" He quickly packed his jars into his bag and started off towards Takinomori, when he heard fast footsteps toward his location. He turned around and jumped into the lake, standing on the water. As he was doing such, he got a glimpse of his attackers face. His eyes widened as he shivered from fear. It was Hana... Hana, the same girl who had been his first age appropriate companion, the one who had helped situate him in Lake Aucity. His one true friend...zombified. He stood in the lake, tears coming down his face, his mouth slightly agaped. He colapsed to his knees as he placed his hands onto his head. He screamed in agony. Hana...no it can't be... He rubbed his eyes No your not Hana your not my Hana! He tossed paper shurken at her, aimed to take her down, but as he looked up his anger melted into sadness and regret, as the paper fell back into sheets that floated back towards Takeno

All he saw before him was Hana in the flesh. He couldn't bring himself to attack her, but that didn's stop her undead corpse. She bolted across the water, aimed at coming into any contact with Takeno and biting into his flesh. Takeno would jump back, avoiding her erratic movements, Hana.. Hana no!! Cant you hear me!! This is Takeno... please answer me!! Takeno dragged his hand up, creating a small wall of water that would block off Hana from attacking him

Hana would leap over the wall, but Takeno had a bow and arrow ready, made entirely of paper. As her body fell he shot two large arrows that would penetrate her shoulders and pin her to the wall of water.

"I--Im gonna fix you Hana... I need to fix you Hana.. But for now I have to leave you n--" As he was saying this the water under his feet started to shake. Takeno would jump up as bullets of water rushed up to attack him. He knew of only one other water user in this town: Shishio. "H-hey Shishio!! Im not a zombie!! I caught Hana, now lets figure out a way to--" Shishio jumped in front of him. He could hear Takeno's words. Takeno's heart raced. Shishio was an undead... kinda. Both ninja landed five meters away. Shishio seemed to be in at the brink of death. His body had already started to rot, and visible teeth marks were visible on his neck. "That's how he got infected... some foul zombie took out my friends..."

"Thank god she *cough* didnt *cough cough* get you. Now do me a favor. Pl--Please kill u- *cough cough* please kill us..."

Takeno snapped out of his mind, and he immediately looked towards Shishio. Shishio was a mess. His body was barely standing. He had a sac of some sort on his back, and it seemed to move as he shifted his weight in order to keep his balance. His hands shook as he lifted them into closed palms. He fell to his knees. "DO YOU HEAR ME!! EVEERYONE IS FUCKING DEAD HERE!!!" Shishio fell into a coughing fit his body lurched with every gasp for air. His lungs were fighting their last battle. "A horde of zombies came through here last night... They killed everyone Takeno..." Shishio was crying. He laid on his side as he relayed the events of last night: "Nobody was safe from the disease. Members of the town who we had buried had turned into these undead, and rampaged through the town. Everyone was killed... everyone except me and..." He turned over onto his stomach, and the covers moved and shifted till a small head popped out. There was a yellow figure, that turned to face Takeno. It turned out to be a young girl in a hazmat suit. She had bright green eyes, and what looked to be brown hair through the small peeping square. She stayed on Shishio's back, looking at Takeno. Shishio's voice had grown raspy. He was coming closer and closer to death as he continued " I found her in the hospital ward... she has been in this hazmat suit since the alerts had been sent out of a dangerous virus. Look... her mother and father had given me a home here, and I vowed to keep her safe. as you can see I cant really keep that promise any more, He would let out a dry laugh before coughing violently again. The young girl would jump off his back, patting his back. He stabilized his breath as much as possible and continued on: "I want you to protect her... please... for my sake" His breath and heart rate had picked up. The young girl ran towards Takeno, and hid behind him. Shishio let out a few more coughs. His body writhed in pain, as his organs simultaneously failed. His body constricted one last time until his body went limp.

Takeno's eyes were wide during this entire experience. His breathing had picked up significantly as he fell to his knees and placed his hands on his ears and closed his eyes. "Its not real Its not real Its not real..." Takeno was rocking back and forth. He had just witnessed the graphic death of one of his friends. His eyes started to hurt from all the crying. He was officially broken. the young girl tapped Takeno's back, who looked up to find Shishio's dead body up and ready to pounce. Takeno reaches his hand out and a prison of water would encapsulate Shishio's undead body.

"I-I cant do it...I cant kill you Shishio I just--How could i kill either of you. You are my friends. Two of my only friends in this world... I've always been an outsider amongst the kids my age..." he started to cry violently "But you two stuck with me. You made me feel so welcome here. Sure we quarreled the first time we met, but out friendship blossomed into something more!! I can't give up on any of that. I want to save all of you!! Just let me help you get through this together. Please--" He would feel a slight pinch on his leg. He would look down to see the young girl looking up at him through the small transparent plastic square. "Mister... but you gotta... for me....." Takeno looked at her, ready to speak in protest, but then he realized something: this was a part of his mission. This young girl was something for him to live for. To protect. To defend. He knew he couldn't save his friends in their current states, not yet anyway. But he could save her. "Your right....I gotta do this... for Hana... for Shishio..... for you." One final tear fell down his face as a sphere of water was created in his hand. The sphere then unleashed two sets spiraling spears that would impale the heads of Shishio and Hana. "Goodbye... old friends..."

Takeno would lower his hands, as all the water would come crashing down back into the lake. He sniffled, as he walked toward Takinomori. "Come on... whatever your name is... we still got things to do..." he kept his gaze towards the ground, his eyes red. "My names Keiko... Keiko Yamanaka" Takeno would look back, showing a slight smile to mask his feelings of pain from his new companion. "Well its nice to meet you, Keiko Yamanaka." They walked towards Takinomori. Although Takeno had not collected all the herbs he wanted, he did get enough for him to be satisfied. He made his venture towards the hospital
