Moon Sanctuary (181)

[Never]

Lena nodded in response to Strix's gratitude, though she seemed to struggle with her words and looked embarrassed. The Threaded woman didn't really have anything to say, she was glad at least that this person was alive. Though there time together would be cut short when Money & Communication was given and she left suddenly - flying away, leaving Lena alone. She watched her leave...

"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!"

Lena turned around as a fifth member of this strange cult surfaced, holding his hands up at the woman flying away, Wind pulsing from his hands. Lena cursed, they really had something against this Strix character; her fate really was testing her. Lena throws a Metal Card of hers in Strix's direction aimed to intercept the wind at an angle, the tool imbued with Dark Chakra. The Dark partially absorbed the wind enough to attract and anchor it to the tool, Lena redirects it back towards the Cultist manipulating her Card to fly back towards him.

Spoiler: (Meiton : Ismuth no Ankā) - Dark Release : Ismuth's Anchor

Type: Defense/Offense
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description:
The User channels a large amount of Dark Chakra into a Kunai that they hold, the Kunai itself has an aura of purple that surrounds it when thrown. The Kunai is throw into that of an elemental technique, it goes by the elemental strengths and weaknesses of Dark Release, the Kunai will pass into the jutsu and essentially absorb some of it - but it will also pull it, because Kunai throws are quite fast the Technique will need to catch up to the kunai in order to be absorbed. But, the Kunai would drag the jutsu back towards the opponent, essentially throwing it back into their face. This can be used on Shadow Shuriken Clone jutsu, the shadow cloned kunai will be attracted to the Dark Kunai because of the chakra it contains and so this essentially works for any chakra contained tool.

- Must be taught by LonelyAssassin
- Must wait a turn to be used again.
- Can be used 4 times.

Surprised by the sudden redirection. The Cultist manifests a quick defence and dodges the leading card, however the following wind was just wide enough to clip him and send him tumbling across the floor. He quickly gets into a crouching position. The Cultist performs a number of hand seals and manifests a set of large spinning discs of wind which fly towards Lena - she runs headfirst towards them and leaping into the air performing an aerial barrel roll as the best way to describe it, between the gaps of the Wind Discs as they passed over her chest and underneath her back. To the Cultist however it will look as though she is overcome and hit by the Wind Discs.

Spoiler: ( Doujutsu: Chikan ) Eye Technique: Substitution

Type: Defensive
Rank: B
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description: A simple technique, usable by Sharingan users through their prowess with illusionary arts, 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. 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 Genjutsu, the easier the technique is to use.
Note: This version of the technique is used by Sharingan users
Note: Usable 6 times per match for Primary Genjutsu Specialists, without the need for eye contact; other Sharingan users can use it 3 times and require eye contact for Mid and Long range usage.
Note: Requires 3 Tomoe Sharingan active.
Note: Movement speed is bound by the users rank

Lena's legs whip around and she lands, controlling her balance so that she swiftly moves into an upright position and bolts forward performing a barrage of punches, starting with a right to his face and then a gut strike with the left. She follows up with two firsts to the chest to make him stumble and then spins on her right foot and snaps her left foot against his cheek. Lena now facing away from the Cultist looks over her shoulder - her Sharingan peering at him.

"Your friends weren't that strong either."

The Cultist yelled and made to blades of wind in each hand and tried to swing his arms forward at her, though his injuries from being punched and kick were clearly affecting him with his slowness. Lena also wielded the Sharingan and his movements were so easy to read, it was pitiful. Lena's form disperses into a bunch of Cards which spread out to the left and right and where she once stood a Chakra entity looking like a Joker wielding a scythe looks down at the Cultist and takes his head off with a simple swing.

Spoiler: (Kādo no Shinigami : Kauntā no jakku) - Reaper of the Cards : Jack of the Counters

Type: Defense/Offense
Rank: A
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description:
The user disperses into many cards (this is used after being hit in close combat usually) and the cards will all spread out towards the left and right, revealing a Joker made of chakra with a their usual scythe which they will swing around to try and cut through their enemy. The user can appear at the left or right from the bundle of cards about 5-10 meters from his original position - the bundle of cards will spin around like a tornado revealing the user again where in reality they used transformation to disguise themselves among one of the bundles going left and right. The Joker that replaces the user will be formed either in the air where it will drop down upon it's enemy or can be formed where the user ones was as the cards part away, dashing forward at least 5 meters whilst cutting through anything in it's path with a scythe.

If the user is hit whilst in card form it will act like ordinary transformation, though because of the small protection of them hiding in the bundle of the cards they will have at least B-Rank protection again Elemental Ninjutsu - This means that the Joker will have the other half of the Strength equating to B-Rank as well. They will also prematurely transform back. However the user is still aware of their surroundings. Also the bundle of cards that the user travels with can be used to perform Reaper of the Cards jutsu after he transforms back into his original form.

- Cannot be used Consecutively
- No Reaper of the Cards Jutsu above B-Rank in the same turn
- Joker Disperses After Turn of Posting, User transforms back once he has reached desired destination
- Must Know Reaper of the Cards

Lena sighed, it looked clear. There was no more activity for a while - she decided to leave, still not entirely sure why she was brought here.

Leaving Landmark.

The Moon Sanctuary surely had changed dramatically since last time Alucard had sat his foot here. He was able to pick up all chakra signatures in the area and noticed and exponential increase of people. He decided to approach the Sanctuary located beyond the mountains on the other side of the landmark from which he was currently at. Outposts of Asterion's legions were scattered across the hillsides and the peaks as well. Unsure of what they were doing at the Moon Sanctuary, he decided to investigate but would make his position clear in order to avoid any sort of suspicion of his intent. He walked firmly through the thick snow, carving out his path as he went on and with his eyes fixed on the familiar sanctuary he noticed the monks tending to it. Seemed like they were performing rituals of the restoration school, or atleast something akin to healing. He approached one of the monks at earliest convenience in order to engage in a conversation. It was middle-aged man, cloaked from head to toe in padded fur robes with Asterion's sigil on it's back. It was the first time Alucard had engaged with a citizen of the new empire of the north as well, officially anyway.

Are there lots of wounded here in the legion's strongholds? Shouldn't you practice out in the skirmishes?
​

It was true that the factions were still engaging in guerilla warfare on some fronts but here there was an abundance of sick and hurt people. Perhaps there was a disease plaguing the lands..

Hpmf, you never know when you might be at death's door.
​

The monk was displeased with Alucard's attempt of mockery and replied to him in a fashion that he deemed equal before heading into the sanctuary leaving Alucard alone in the cold. He decided to pursue and headed into the sanctuary.

His presence inside of the Moon Sanctuary had lingered on for longer than he originally anticipated. He couldn't really help it though.. A marvel it was. From the moment he had entered it's structures by following one of the monks, he felt the same vibes that ol' Dainashi had provided him from the days when he was sitting on the crimson throne. Well, minus the magma flows and the grey snow. This stronghold was more in line what he anticipated his Otsutsuki heritage would be in terms of aesthetics. Perhaps there was a connection between the two.. Regardless of the ambience, Alucard had not waltzed into the Moon Sanctuary for such reasons, no, he was looking for more information about the Asterion. The monks were not eager to speak to an outsider of their culture or warfare it seemed, instead they entangled themselves into arbitrary and mundane tasks while avoiding his curiosities. It didn't take long until he found himself out in the field, scouting for Asterion troops instead or a form of leader who could point him in a direction that could perhaps take him to Tanacetum themselves. Continuing onwards, Alucard left the landmark and decided to scout further on the peninsula.

Storyboard Element(s):

• Work with Tanacetum’s shamans (Custom - A)

After some time in the air, the two had arrived at what seemed to be peak civilisation of this icy part of the world. What once used to be a place of worship in Alucards dark age had now become a bastion of a false god, or whatever these scattered monks were following.

well, i dont care who’s in charge here now.. gotta get him to a medical facility..

-Lilith muttered to herself as she prepared to land in the middle of the streets leading up to the sanctuary. Almost immediately, a handful of shamans gathered around the two with caution to inspect the anomaly. Liliths new eyes gave her a near 365 vision maning it look like she focused on only one of them. She let this be a trick up her sleeve in case they were going to attempt any funny business. As none of them had decided on a first exchange or words, Liliths patience had reached its limits.

Well? Are any of you old geezers a medical type or working with healing rituals or some other shite? Pops going alien on my ass.. just help us out and you’ll get paid!

Fufu.. a snappy bird/human hybrid.. young ma’m, we’re not the one’s that simpletons such as yourself would ask aid from. Our purpose here is not to aid heathens, but a far grander ambitio-

How about your payment is that i don’t kill each and everyone of you?!

Liliths patience had snapped, and she hurled her wings outwards and prepared to blast down the entire sanctuary with her Dust release in a rage.

One does not insult the great shamans of Tanacetum without facing reprecussions. Alas, you’ve brought forth.. The Alucard.. a most interesting subject to our doorstep. In turn for our care we task you to further the work of our lord. In Blaubaume, you may find salvation. Go now and don’t return without the bark of its trees, flesh from its core and sap from its heart.

The shamans picked up Alucard from Liliths shoulder and carried him towards the sanctuary. She didn’t trust them one bit but she was out of options. She sighed, but let out a final warning.

If i return and he’s not better, you will find yourselves at the mercy of my rage!

That said and done, she dried some tears off of her face and set out to Blaubaume.

With her spirit still suffering, Lilith managed to fly back from Blaubaume to Moon Sanctuary without much of an issue. The ingredients requested were with her, ready for delivery as she awaited the shamans to meet up with her where she they had taken Alucard. With her Byuakugan active she noticed a massive spike of chakra beneath the sanctuary grounds, and following it a roar of a familiar voice. She gulped, before yelling out.

Otosan, w..where are you??!!

Silence fell on the mountain before a sphere as black as a singularity suddenly popped up from the ground between her and the sanctuary. Alucards metamorphis had completed and what she saw infront of her was known as a truth-seeking sphere, which is a form of matter comprised out of all five chakras as well as Yin-Yang release.


(Gudōdama) - Truth-Seeking Ball

Spoiler

Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 80 (-15 per turn once activated)
Damage: 140 each
Description: Truth-Seeking Balls are spheres of malleable black chakra composed of all five nature transformations and Yin-Yang Release. Each is about the size of a fist and hides within it the power to complete obliterate a forest. The Truth-Seeking Balls function as a technique that is always on standby once activated. The technique creates a fixed number of orbs; no more or no less can be created. If they are somehow destroyed or otherwise not retrieved by the user, they become permanently lost. Once created the user can manipulate each of the individual balls at will. The balls can be shaped into a variety of forms, and the many natures comprising them can be combined to produce various effects. They are able to serve a variety of functions, such as forming shields and weapons, platforms, launching as high-speed projectiles, and rapidly expanding to produce massive explosions (mid-range in diameter). Users are able to combine orbs to enhance individual damage. At most only two Truth-Seeking Orbs can be controlled for offensive use at any given time; but any number of orbs can be used for defensive purposes to protect the user. Using the orbs outside of reshaping them requires one of the user's three moves per turn.

As the chakra comprising them is highly durable, the balls can serve as an effective defense. Due to the nature of possessing Yin-Yang Release the Truth-Seeking Balls have the ability to nullify any ninjutsu they come into contact with, making them impervious to Ninjutsu techniques. Only Senjutsu techniques that exceed an individual ball in damage are capable of harming and neutralizing an orb. When wielded by a user of Six Paths Senjutsu, the Truth-Seeking Balls become a potent weapon against invisible enemies in the world of Limbo, as well as other spiritual techniques such as Yin Release’s Hands of Sloth, able to interact with techniques of this type as normal. The user’s ability to control the Truth-Seeking Balls diminishes as it goes further from them and thus an effective way of combating them is to transport them away with certain types of Spacetime or teleportation jutsu.

Note: Can only be used by biographies that were shown using it.
Note: Acquisition of the Truth-Seeking Balls occurs through one possessing Six Paths Sage Mode, becoming the Jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails, or Yin-Yang Release.
Note: The negation effect of the orbs works on all forms of ninjutsu but does not work on techniques that are enhanced with Senjutsu or natural energy.
Note: Wielders gain six orbs that can be used up to long-range. Beyond mid-range, however, the user loses the ability to actively manipulate the orbs, only being able to call them back. However, if the orbs go beyond 40 meters from the user they will be lost until the user comes within range to manipulate them again.
Note: Once activated the orbs remain on standby until destroyed or the user dies. The user can manipulate an orb for two turns before they are unable to control it, returning to standby for the same amount of time.

The singularity reflected an image of Alucard, with his Tenseigans and his sword in his hands.

Out of the blue, one of the shamans rushed out of the gates of the sanctuary. As they passes Lilith they only uttered one word.

Run!!

Before Lilith could react, the singularity tracked the shaman who’d run past her and rammed into them. The ball was so dense that it simply traversed through the man without having to travel much faster, as if it was a solid ball of Dust release. Regardless, the shaman was dead in an instant and the sphere returned back to Lilith, who was so scared that she couldn’t move. Out of fear she disarmed herself, releasing her active enhancement while trying to establish a mental link to her father. Something she would soon regret as her fathers mental state was.. chaos. Suddenly the ball retreated back to the hole as if it had been making sure nothing was threatening her. Soon after the ground rumbled, like a minor earthquake and out the same hole he rose up, levitating on his own chakra and appearing as a.. deity. Their eyes met, both radiating blue.

Lilith.. that man was.. ugh nevermind. Drop off your offerings and we’ll be on our way.

He pointed towards the sachel containing the sap, flesh and bark of the tree.

And before you ask, no i didn’t kill anyone else…. Notintentionallyanywaylol!!!!

He then jetted upwards and into the clouds like some sort of superhero. Still shocked by the.. resent events, Lilith did not follow her father immediately. Her deal had been made afterall and she went down the hole where Alucard had emerged like a groundhog on steroids, looking for the shamans or the leftovers of Alucards collateral damage..

H..hello?

She whimpered into the gloomy undersanctuary. Her eyes allowed her to see with enhanced vision and she was able to pinpoint a few chakra signatures deeper in.

I.. come with the requested items.

Her voice echoed into the halls, and was met with a laughter almost instantly.

Fufu…
You may leave your prize on the floor. Take your own leave as well, as our deal is concluded. The Alucard had been.. most interesting as a labrat.. with a few minor.. miscalculations..

While she couldn’t wait to get out of there and rejoin with her father, she was met with a sinister aura. They had done something to Alucard that wasn’t just with well intentions. Regardless, she needed not to dwell any longer, and hurried out to meet her father who was high on the clouds and had taken off south.

*Mission End*
