Nendo Haven

Nendo Haven is an island characterized by sand beaches, grass and lush forests. It is a warm, subtropical climate, a fact that many settlers taken advantage of. The island’s most recognizable feature is the large Mount Nendo, which lies in its center and consist almost entirely of light beige clay. Many communities of easygoing fishermen, artisans and manufacturers can be found here, taking advantage of the island’s many natural resources. A few smaller ninja clans make their home closer to the mountains, accepting contracts from the inhabitants. These Ninja have found ample work in recent days, defending the communities on Haven from unknown entities.

Uta continues just as before. Only stopping at a few food stores. Unlike popular belief, Claymore still ate normal food also, but preferred flesh. All the traveling had him eating purely normal food.

Pyke The Bloodharbor Ripper: https://animebase.me/threads/pyke-the-bloodharbor-ripper.765290/

Summary: This is the beginning of the tales of the Bloodharbor Ripper. He has tracked an individual to the island of Nendo Haven, this is where the story begins.



The road lay before the man like a tarmac ribbon, albeit one that had been worn over time. The cobbles broken and torn up from their places in the road. He continued walking down the street, only a few lights illuminated the road, the rain drops propelling off the roof tiles, dirt and leaves from the trees around on the street. The warm lights coming from the pubs inviting him in with the smell of well-aged whisky. He was swaying as if he was on a ship at high seas, the bottle in his hand half empty, he had been singing sea chants for a long time now. He was being soaked, as he made his way down the slaughter docks, a place where the tide itself was not strong enough to wash away the red slick that ran constantly down its wooden slips.

The gulls shriek, their warbled cries caught on the wind, as Pyke found Maziers name on the list. The last name on the parchment. A feeling gnaws at Pyke, Resltess, unsettled, unsatisfied. He cannot be done. There were too many of them there, on the decks. Perhaps he got the wrong manifest, maybe it does not even matter.

They let me die. So many hands. So many times. Pyke thought to himself.

Another sound. Not gulls. Not waves. Not teeth closing. Not the voice in the back of his mind screaming out “you’re not done!” over and over and over. Not the music he remembers from the swimming city, all those years ago.

It’s a new sound. A real sound. A here-and-now sound.

Pyke looks with his living eyes and sees wooden planks under heavy bootfalls. The man, walking down towards the moored, bobbing vessel by the end.

He stops when he sees all the blood. His hand disappeared into his jacket, pulling a knife, keeping the edge of the knife close to his chest, ready to attack. Like a bloody idiot.

Pyke steps into the moonlight. The man looks like he’s seen a ghost. The skin around his mouth clams up tigher than a dock banker’s coin-purse. His eyes go wide and quivery, like jellyfish, like calm water catching a breeze.

“Who’s that?” he yells.

“Come find out…” Pyke said, with his faded dead eyes staring at him.

The knife is aimed at Pyke’s head. Then comes the throw. The aim is true, but it strikes the wood because Pyke is no longer where he was. He is in the mist.

He falls apart, into salt and drops of water, a fine man to a fine mist. He heard they call him a phantasm. They’re half right.

He heavyset man pulls another knife. Sweat beads his wrinkled brow.

In those precious few seconds, Pyke is all around him, in the in between, somewhere behind the air itself, studying him. Those fearful eyes, crap-brown. His beard wild and white. Sagging jowls, crooked nose, cracked lips, the way his earlobes are cauliflowered from countless dirty tavern fights.

Looks like a captain. Pyke whispered into the mist.

The man reeks of sweet, prickly fear. Good old boot-quaking terror.

Smells like a captain… the mist grew ever darker around the man.

Pyke needed to be sure. He took form, he was always a big man, now with the baleful, glowing eyes that the sea gifted him, he feels larger still. Tell me your name, he rumbled.

The man did not expect anyone to appear behind him. Nobody expects that. Maybe they do in fantasies or nightmares or the stories they tell in bars. But everyone just craps their pants and falls flat on their face, and this heavyset captain is no rule-breaker on that count. He trips on his own stupid boots and rolls down the stairs like a sack of potatoes.

Pyke took each step slowly. A galleon from the land of fire is moored at the dock. Trader ship, or traitor ship. Is there really a difference? He guessed not.

You got ‘til I get to the bottom of these steps to tell me what I want to know. His rumbling and clicking voice echoed through the mist towards the man, his frightened eyes and the subtle cries from his mouth reaching Pyke like a symphony.

The man wheezed, his wind knocked clear into someone else’s sails. Gasping. A fish on land. Chubby hands reaching out.

I remember you…

Step.

White-knuckle grip on the deck rail…

Step.

The man tries to stand, but his knee bends the wrong way.

Step.

You were watching.

Step. A wharf-rat scurries close. Dinner time soon.

You were smiling.

Sputter. Tears coming now. “P-please… I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

Step.

Name. Now.

“Beke Mazier!” The man cried out.

Pyke stopped to consult the manifest, one step from the bottom. All the red marks. All the crossed-out names. There, Beke Mazier. Uncrossed clear as day. Must have had the paper folded wrong.

Beke Mazier. Yeah, I remember you. You were there.

“I have never seen you before! It’s my first night in Nendo Ha…”

People can’t lie with a hookman’s barber lodged in their cheek. They can’t beg or trade facts they don’t have.

Fine tool, the barber-blade. Made of tempered sharkbone. Keener than steel. Sticks in really good. Snagging on bone and flesh. Struggling only hooks it deeper, as Beke is learning. His eyes are afraid now. Those eyes stab at Pyke’s mind.

The memory rises like a tide, and he opens to let the waters come crashing through, drowning out Beke’s gurgling pleas. Though not long enough for him. Pyke pulled the blade from Beke and wrapped something around his deep wound, as he carried him onto a small boat. He still had ten minutes to live.

He was lying on the boat, gurgling as blood dripped from his mouth and nose, his eyes terrified of the events unfolding. He had thought this a night of drinking a pleasure but to his mind it had been nothing more than torture and pain. But it was not over yet. Pyke wrapped a chain around the man’s legs together with a rock, tying the rope to the mast, hanging him over the edge like he was a capture dead sharp hanging by his neck, barely able to breath, the ever-looming water below.

You are going to tell me who else was on that vessel that day… you are going to confess to me what you did was wrong! And then ill set you free! Pyke said with a cold and calm voice, his spiked blade gently caressing Bekes cheek.

“J-just kill me now…” he managed to gurgle out of his bloody mouth. Surprisingly enough, the pain, terror and adrenaline had washed away all the alcohol in his blood.

Death is too easy… You have to earn your death…” Pykes blade slowly pushed through the skin, the rip giving out, cracking under the pressure of the the blade, the veins and muscle tissue shredding. The screams of agony filling the docks.

“P-please stop…”

As I said… you have to earn it. Pyke slowly pulled the blade, as he grabbed the rope around his neck, the rope tightening around the neck. Let’s see how well you do… underwater…

He cut the rope, as the man dropped into the water below, though keeping his head over water, Pyke was still holding the rope as he crouched down looking at him.

There is plenty of room for everyone at the bottom of the sea… Pyke loosened his grip on the rope.

“Wait… wait wait… I admit to watching you falling into the depths, I admit to being part of it… but I was not the one giving the order, I swear!” Beke looked with despair at Pyke, his mouth could not stop moving, he was getting colder, and paler as his blood seeped into the water below. The animals in the sea slowly approaching the area, large eels, piranhas and other animals circling the man.

Give me his name and where he is… and I shall set you free.

“Mid… midnight island… his name… Gangplank.”

Gangplank, the name resonated through his mind, the notorious pirate captain, he was residing on an island nearby, the last man. Pyke nodded at Beke, he was gonna set him free now. Beke expected a quick death, for his cooperation. Pyke let go of the rope, the screaming man quickly disappearing into the water below, the bubbles of air raising like hundreds of balloons through the water to the surface. The eels and other animals came upon him from all sides, eating and tearing away at his flesh, bones and bloodied body. Pyke stared down at him from above with a smile, a man dying the way they expected him to have died. The blood and flesh filled the harbor, until no air bubbles were to be found, there were no more movement in the water, the stone tied to his legs the body would not raise to the top only chunks of flesh and skin. Pyke stood up and crossed the name off his list. He then opened the sail and went into the open sea, leaving the dead behind. He continued onward, with his task to find the notorious pirate, the last man standing, the last one to have betrayed him.

Heading across the terrain Geets and Majin could see several people in the next LM. They summon and make sure all their gear is in order. Discussing the plan, Boit employs the Hiding with Camouflage technique. Meanwhile Vegeta creates a tag that he places back in his pouch that creates a sensory barrier that would detect all movements, as well as activates an ability of the gems on his glove that creates a different form of sensing for him. He then activates a seal on his neck that would hide his chakra signature, as well as also deploys the Hiding with Camouflage technique as they continue towards the next LM ready for whatever these strangers may do Majin and Vegeta also activate their scouters, as Majin appears to be floating in mid air alone traveling on Boitata's head..

( Hebi Kuchiyose - Boitatá ) Snake Summoning - Boitatá
Type: Attack/Defense/Supplemental
Rank: S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Description: Boitatá, the most proficient of all Snakes in usage of Katon, is a personal summons of Vegeta. He is comparable in size to Aoda with bull-like horns on his head. From just behind the top of his skull is what looks like quills coming off him in a staggered pattern down his body. His tail is pointed having an ax shape to it with a spear tip in the center. The razor sharp horns as well as heavy blunt/sharp tail can be used for striking and would also carry burning damage from him always molding his Katon. Its eyes are stunning and bright, and he is very strong even by large Snake summons standards. A fierce, powerful, menacing Minister of Death whom thanks to his natural affinity to Katon and burning things, hates nature, especially the forest. He is an avid swimmer moving as fast as he can on land (Kage rank Taijutsu Master). His fangs contain a powerful snake venom, and one bite from him would not only burn someone severely but would also paralyze them as the venom quickly makes it way thru their system, taking 2 turns for total paralysis to set in, lasting for one turn.

Abilities:
- Can communicate with humans and snakes alike
- Uses Katon with no seals, and basic Ninjutsu (only Hiding with Camoflage and Chakra transfer technique)
- Cannot be harmed by B ranks and below
- Can sense with heat/scent/vibration and can also sense things thru their natural energy
- Can access Natural Energy only to use Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation, and can use the Chakra Transfer technique to dispel the user from Genjutsu up to A rank

~Notes~
- All abilities cost a move other than sensing
- Must know Snake Sage Mode to summon Boitatá
- Only those allowed by Vegeta may summon Boitatá
- Can be summoned 1x per battle and stays for 4 Turns.
- Cannot be summoned to the field if Manda is present, unless Manda was summoned by an opponent
- No summons for two turns after or at the same time
- Can only use Inorganic Reincarnation once per match.
Ref:
(Meisaigakure no Jutsu) - Hiding with Camouflage Technique
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30 (-10 per turn active)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This is a ninja escape technique that allows the user after performing the Tiger hand seal to control how light is reflected around their body with chakra inflections. The technique also erases the user's scent and shadow, and is usable on any terrain, making it ideal not only for covert maneuvers but also offensive strikes. Perceiving the user's position is possible only for ninja who are astute enough to observe minute variations within their surrounding environment, such as distortions of air currents in the immediate vicinity or distinguishing sounds, i.e. footsteps etc. However, the usefulness of this ability can be entirely negated by those with special vision or sensory skills. The Second Tsuchikage, Mū's mastery of this technique helped earn him the moniker "Non-Person" seemingly having neither form nor chakra while the technique was active. Thus, he could not be sensed through traditional means.
Note: Technique lasts a total of 3 turns
(Uwabe Dake) Semblance
Type: Weapon
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: Said to be an artifact owned by the Sage of Six Paths, in truth it was owned by a follower of Ninshu. This artifact, while its appearance is unorthodox should never be taken lightly as in the hands of a person whom has the ability to utilize its full potential will surely show how potent it’s latent abilities are. At first glance, it’s two ruby earrings – roughly3 inches in size– their composition being rubies that can act as a conduit of the owner’s chakra while also being indestructible by nature. This translates to it being unable to be corroded, smashed, and melted or any type of condition that may detrimental effects to its composition. It is also grafted to only respond to the chakra of its current holder – with foreign chakra that is infused within it being nullified completely. Abilities wise the earrings itself naturally in tune with its owner – always constantly passively connecting to its user so they may utilize its ability when needed. The following abilities mentioned below are what this weapon offers with some being active and or passive in nature.

Nenriki Houka | Pyrokinesis (D – S Rank) - The first and active ability of the weapon, which when activated causes the earring to turn pitch black in coloration instantly, this being caused by the user’s chakra “burning” the surface of the earrings in order to give life to ash. Superheated by chakra, the user is capable of telekinetically controlling the ash. The user, at the cost of a move is capable of shaping the ash into constructs of ash by forcefully mending the ash together in order to form basic shapes, spikes, shields or even waves of ash. This is all up to the user's own imagination of how they desire to form the ash, while the amount of chakra determines the overall power of the constructs ranging from D to S rank. In the case of S-ranks, there is a two-turn cooldown that begins when the constructs can no longer be sustained and the user is unable to use other Fire Techniques above A-rank in the same turn after use. As for A-ranks, there is a one-turn cooldown that begins when the constructs end. Mulitple contstructs can be made at once, though their power is divided, as well as being able to sustain them by paying a proportionate chakra upkeep (5 for D-B, 10 for A, and 15 for S) to sustain said constructs for up to two turns. Constructs are also only able to reach up to mid ranged away.

Fushichou no Kodou | Heartbeat of the Phoenix – The second active ability of the weapon, active in nature to which the weapon upon a mental command by its user will siphon – 5 chakra per turn and lasts up to six turns per usage. This chakra is then converted into omnidirectional pulses of heat that travel across the terrain relative to that of a lightning technique however this in combination with a seal located on the inside of the earrings acts in tandem with one another. The seal in question creates a mental map within the user’s mind to which when the pulse of heat passed through something it registers whatever it may have come into contact with. Anything that has their own heat, be it naturally produced such as body heat and or artificially i.e via chakra will burn a bright red in color – allowing the user to know the location of the heat is coming from where as objects without any will by a dark red coloration. The earring is constantly releasing these pulses, thus allows for continuous updates of anything that is also moving. While it may cost a move to activate it, the user may come into battle with this ability active.

The earrings are capable of being used once in contact with the user or within one meter of them, but how the earrings is worn is up to its user as it can be attached to a belt, in a pouch etc.
Sukautā - Scouter
Type: Tools
Rank: A-rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30 activation 10 per turn thereafter
Damage: N/A
Description: A Scouter is a scanning piece of Ninja technology, contained in a unit that fits over the users left ear, with a semi-transparent coloured monocle that serves as a display, covering the left eye. The colours can vary depending on the users preference but it has no bearing on the usage of the Scouter. The primary function of the scouter is to Scan the Chakra level of an opponent or groups of opponents, displaying a numerical value as well as an arrow to indicate the direction of the chakra source, if they happened to be outside the display-screens field of view. The Scouter is able to pick up Chakra Signals at a vast range, up to a single landmark away; though if multiple Chakra Sources are in the same landmark, it is only able to show the number of individual signals, instead of each Chakra Level. The Scouter will not detect Chakra if the target is using a chakra suppressing ability.
Upon initial activation, it will only show the current level of targets within Long-range of the user, requiring an additional activation cost to scan into the next landmark. Once a targets Chakra has been scanned, it will not constantly update the chakra level as it depletes, instead requiring another activation cost (30 chakra) to update the reading to the targets new chakra level. So long as the user spends the chakra, they are able to constantly track up to five targets at all times, so long as they remain or enter mid-range, unless they use a chakra suppressing ability. The scouter can only track up to two targets if they are long-range away from the wielder, and any targets within an adjacent landmark, will appear as one reading with their combined chakra level displayed on the screen. The scouter is able to track any source of chakra, from projectiles, to clones, to summons and animal companions; anything with a readable chakra source present. This ability to detect targets does grant a small boost to the users tracking speed, granting an equivalent to a 2T Sharingan.
Scouter's are able to provide a direct line of communication with other Scouter's and communication devices, via implementation of a modified script from a communication scroll, however only when the Scouter is active. This communication extends up to three landmarks in any direction and can easily be heard by the wielder due to the device being ear-mounted.
Notes:
-Scouter can remain active so long as the user has the chakra reserves to do so.
-Scouter Tracking speeds do not stack with Doujutsu
-Can only be made/taught by Shinta and a max of 3 can be used.
-Full body lightning jutsu of B rank and higher will short-out the Scouter, making it unusable for five turns. S rank lightning will destroy the Scouter.
(Saiyajin Jakketo)-Saiyan Armor
Type: Weapon
Rank: S
Range: Short-mid
Chakra: 40
Damage:
Description: The Saiyan Armor is fabled to comprised of both ninja wire and chakra metal which is the reason for being very light stretchy as the wire through out is in layers which give it manouvorability, yet, at the same time really durable. Because of the armor’s unique characteristics it makes the wearer capable of reducing up to 25 damage from physical attacks. The armour when forged was inlaid with doton chakra similar to the cannon light weight technique making it so it doesn't hinder the users speed while granting another ability; the Armor can release an instant surge of S rank earth chakra into the users body for a split second similar to the (Doton: Chōkeijūgan no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Earth Release: Ultra Light-Weight Rock Technique, allowing the users speed to increase for a sudden movement in a linear direction up to mid range (2x speed), where their speed returns to normal. This ability activates instantly, lasting for one movement, and can be used only thrice per battle. Another aspect of the armor is the user can release their chakra into it using it to harden the armor similar to the cannon B rank earth Hardening technique, increasing the defensive powers of the armor to that of A rank earth following the s/w of earth release.
Note: Reducing the weight costs a move, can be used twice, with two turns between uses and can only move up to mid range.
Note: Hardening the armor can be used 3 times, is A ranked, can be used once per turn, protecting the users body where the armor covers.
( Sandāu~ēbu ) - Thunderwave
Type: Tool
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: N/A ( - 5 per turn when used )
Damage: N/A
Description: Thunderwave is a basic chest plate outfitted with a surround sound speaker system, and a microphone. It can be used to play music or make noises more audible than normal similar to a karaoke machine. It is able to produce sound louder than most techniques or the clashing of techniques and can be much louder than the user or opponent can scream. In essence it can act like the (Utsusemi no Jutsu) - Empty Cicada Shell Technique passively at all times being louder and stronger than even that basic technique. It comes pre-loaded with all of the wielder's favorite songs. In battle it can be used to play theme music or it can make the user louder as it has a built in microphone system connected to the speaker system.
The primary use of Thunderwave as mentioned above is the ability to play music with the offshoot of this being the ability to cancel sound waves with sound waves while playing music. This is similar to the Scientific Ninja Tool: Shijima and works like a noise-cancellation speaker. The system can emit a sound wave with the same amplitude but with inverted phase also known as antiphase to the original sound. The waves combine to form a new wave, in a process called interference, and effectively cancel each other out. This effect is called destructive interference and is able to nullify sound techniques in equal rank. The sound can encompass a short - long range area around the user being louder the closer to the user the people who can hear it are and due to this it has a dampening system as to not harm the users ears or cause them any undue problems. It can be fine tuned to look different depending on the wielder's appearance or preference.
Note: Sound techniques can only be canceled once per turn three times per battle.

(Fuuinjutsu: Anmoku no jikkō) Sealing Arts: Unspoken Execution
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30 (-10 per per turn)
Damage: N/a
Description: Anmoku no jikkō is a sealing technique created by Uzumaki's who needed a counter to foes with sensing abilities. The seal lays dormant horizontally across the neck, and is activated with the user's chakra being focused into the seal. Kanji for the seal then appears before swiftly emitting a chakra barrier shaped like a sphere that emcompasses short range around the user. This barrier is linked to the seal and has the special ability to erase the chakra signature of the seal's vessel while inside its dimensions. With its signature now erased, this technique acts as an advanced chakra suppressant that hides the user's chakra from all forms of chakra sensing, whether it be directly from the body or from an outside source. Opponent's with sensing will now have to rely on their basic, or in some cases above average, five senses as they continue the battle while in this realm. For example; Inuzuka's would have no problem using their nose, while Uchihas would be unable to see the user's chakra, but still uses the advanced reaction speed that comes with the current level of their eyes. The barrier moves with the seal as its epicenter while only lasting for a limited time.

NOTES
►Usable 2x per battle
►Lasts for 4 turns upon activation
►Has a 2 turn cooldown
►Can only be taught by ZandaT
(Meisaigakure no Jutsu) - Hiding with Camouflage Technique

(Kyōkai Kekkai no Jutsu) - Boundary Barrier Technique
Rank: A-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 30 (-10 per turn remaining active)
Damage points: N/A
Description: This is a detection type barrier which is simply a more advanced version of the (Kekkai: Tengai Hojin) - Barrier: Dome Method Formation technique and that can be used to surround an area and allows the user to monitor a certain area covering from the sky to underneath the ground creating a sphere. The user will create a tag with the 許可 (Kyoka) Kanji and place it on the ground, doing the confrontation hand seal afterwards to activate it. After the barrier is erected, the user, if inside it, will be able to detect any enemy inside it, even if he hiding his presence. After that, anyone who enters or leaves the barrier is instantly detected as well as anything that moves inside it. Techniques that mask the users presence are ineffective at avoiding detection as the barrier focuses on movement and displacement of matter, not solely on chakra detection. The barrier can also be moved according to the requirements of the user by moving the tag.
Note: Can only be used twice.

  • Spy on an important target and remain undetected.
A warm afterglow evenly encompassed the remote island of Nendo Haven as the sun slowly set into the horizon over the ocean. At this time of the year the northern beach was at its liveliest; birds and humans seamlessly meshed together as delightful summer activities presented themselves.
Comfortably nestled into a sand chair with a peach floppy beach hat, dark, over-sized shades and a bikini in heaven, life was easy. For the moment. To the unobservant it would seem like this belle jean was having the tan of her life, peacefully reading a novel and intermittently feeding on grapes, but under the shades her eyes contemptuously ridiculed someone in the far distance. Precise, thin, bespectacled with an almost bird-like aspect, it was easy to distinguish him from the mass. Hunched over a table, her latest infatuation swirled a cup in one hand. Not once did he take a sip. It was almost as if he was aware of her presence as well, silently daring her to make the first move. Key word being almost; Lana would sooner believe pigs flew than him catching onto her stalking. She treated this mission more delicately than an eye surgeon did in one of their procedures. In her mind stalking was a strong word. She preferred to think of herself as his secret valentine. This was the culmination of weeks of work. The little information she managed to acquiesce lead her to this very geography. Apparently, an exchange was going down. Of him and her? She wished. The best Lana could do was not, as the proverb went, shoot the messenger. Despite the calm atmosphere, an ominous feeling lingered in the air.

A long hour that felt like days passed and Lana began feeling the embers of nervousness. Thoughts of doubt clouded her mind by the seconds and pangs of nervousness dropped her stomach by the minutes. Did I miscalculate? Have I been set up?
Lana’s composure would have been the first to crack had it not been for a tall, dark figure that entered her peripheral, a sinister aura surrounding him. A feeling of excitement shot through her, followed by a smidgen of anger at the realization that she was mere moments away from sabotaging her own mission.
The subsequent series of events truly beguiled her. The newcomer came at an angle from behind the guy such that it was impossible to perceive. However, just as he walked past, even before entering his line of sight, he timely held up his cup up with one hand, his other placed on his chin as his bored gaze never wavered from the horizon. The former dropped a straw in it and the latter rescinded. Not at any moment did either of them pause to acknowledge each other. Lana’s first thought was this was some rehearsed shit.

Soon it mattered little. Bird man and her new target initiated movement, the former lagging behind the latter by a considerable margin, of which Lana suspected was to dissuade attention and negate association with each other. Fat chance. Then her smirk froze half-way as the last guy promptly turned around and looked directly at her. Fortunately her shades meant he couldn’t see that this woman was looking back. He held his gaze for a few seconds, then wondrously looked around. In a perfect world, he would have certainly heard her heart pounding, even from this distance. Paranoia amped with her. Was that a deliberate look? Surely not. If it were, why would he keep looking around? Lana raised a furtive eyebrow and collected her thoughts. Bringing logic to the forefront, paranoia to the back, keeping a healthy dose of caution about, she proceeded formed a contingency plan. When he turned around, she silently created a clone of herself that took her place and transformed herself. The original now looked the diametric opposite. Jet black hair, dark skin, and a bright bikini.

Feeling her new pseudo body, she inquisitively followed suite. Beneath the shades, her activate Sharingan worked tirelessly to follow their chakra traces. Her itinerary shortly lead her to standing in from of two large, glass panel doors. The entrance to a newly built recreational centre. Immediately she spotted the fellas in conversation, not far off from the reception. Based on the design of the building, it was most likely that to get anywhere they would need to check in with reception at first. Lana thought for a moment, thinking of all sorts of plans until she settled on one. Before the drop of a hat she had already changed her appearance. This wasn’t going to be the last, she smiled.

Del Rey had transformed once again, this time adopting fair skin and fair features. She also adopted attire similar to the receptionist that sat obliviously behind the desk. Lana decided it was her time to get a job. Her job. She walked in with purpose. Head held high. Gaze on towards. Until she finally reached the front desk. Fortunate only one of the guys had their back to her. Which meant she needed to proceed carefully if she wanted to execute her plan.
“Hi, how may I help?” smiled the receptionist innocently.
“You can’t”, Lana smiled devilishly. The lady was even bereft of time to frown at her response before being seized by a genjutsu. The commas on Lana’s Sharingan orbited as she made the woman believe her shift was over. Impromptu she left and promptly Lana entered.

Something about the sudden change of receptionists, the former just up and going like a zombie, alerted the two guys. It was the smaller of the two, her original target, that carefully approached her. He studied her face closely, his eyes roaming and his expression blank, before speaking.
“I shall book a room, if you don’t mind”. His eyes narrowed in the final half of that sentence, daring her to question him. Lana tried her best to appear like the average dumb bitch behind a desk – all smiles and happily oblivious to everything.
“Sure. Can I get your name first, please?”, she smiled. This was actually crucial. In her prior research, she had never come to find out what his name was. Only a series of fake aliases. And since he would be paying for the service with his credit card, he would be forced to give his name, otherwise a mismatch in names could spell a fraud, which is the last thing a criminal like himself would want to happen.
“I’ve never had to give my name” he bluntly stated. ****. I can’t believe the first thing out of my mouth potentially outed me.
“Well, there has been a change in policy, effective immediately since yesterday. If you would like, I can show you the documents?” She egged him. Of course it was a bluff. If he called it, she would be exposed instantly. Her heart stopped as she awaited a response.
“No need. It’s Wei Yi.” Phew. She leaned down to write it down. For her own sake – not the company’s.
“Perfect. I suppose you’re going with your friend over there?” she looked over his shoulder.
“How would you know that?” His expressionless expression suddenly shifted, now obviously suspicious about her. She gulped.
“I-I just saw you two speak before I came in, that’s all” she stammered. A long pause ensued before he finally spoke.
“Yes, he will.”

Almost as if the other had super-hearing abilities, the guy came forward right as he said that and gave his details unasked. This time she only pretended to scribble something down. She didn’t care for his name because it was apparent that he was lying, understandably so, he wasn’t paying and thus was free to give a fake name.

Soon they were on there way, continuing their discussions. Lana too was on her way, continuing her stalking. They now walked in an open section. The ceiling rose high and there were multiple pillars to support the infrastructure. A number of people wondering around gave her the perfect disguise. It was quite cinematic, almost straight out of a movie, the way Lana walked adjacent to them, but from a distance, and with each passing of a pillar, in the moment their vision was obscured, she morphed into a brand-new woman all together. The hustle and bustle made it impossible to catch what they were saying, but Lana was ever resourceful. The prowess of her ocular power made it so that she could read their lips. Of course she wouldn’t catch all of it but the little she managed to decipher were certainly alarming.

Eventually they made their way into the section they booked. Lana threw on a handy cloak that made her invisible and silently entered the room with them, sneaking in just before the door closed. Making her moves behind their backs, she silently made her way to the upper section via stairs. As handy as the cloak was, any skilled ninja would see through it. Therefore she only used it to hide herself from their peripheral vision. And effective it was at that.
“Markie Bridge.”
“It’s going to a blood bath. Victory is certain.”
“I’ve been waiting for this day for a long. Even dreamt about it. I hate them so much; it makes me sick. It palpitates within me. It’s all Machiavellianism politics but when direct action is taken against them, they play the victim card. Endless lies and deception to fill the seven seas”. There was a silent pause.
“This will only work if you don’t **** it up, Kiji”.
“I won’t. I can’t”. He looked down; his face clouded with darkness. Clearly, this ninja was down bad. He was living proof of the saying hatred makes you ugly.

All this talk of death made Lana forget herself as she released an exasperated sigh, then instantly froze up, hoping they wouldn’t have heard it. They had - evidenced by the sudden silence and quick movement towards the stairs. She only had mere seconds to improvise. This cloak wasn’t going to hold so she immediately took it off. She spotted a mop and bucket situated in the corner and grabbed it. Then, to add the final details of the excuse she would give, she placed a pair of earphones in her ears.

“Who the **** are you?” a rough voice called from her back. She casually turn around, pretending to enjoy the music from the earphones, and took one out to ask what they wanted.
“What are you doing here? This was supposed to be booked for two, and only that.”
“I’m the new cleaner. I’m sorry, I was supposed to have got this room cleaned earlier but I was running late”. The walked up, closing the distance.
“Tell me what exactly you heard from us” they demanded. Her battle instincts screamed at her to pulverize them, but she knew this required finesse and not brute strength.
“I didn’t even hear you guys come in” she pointed to her earphones. “Otherwise I would have left promptly”. Smiling innocently after that seemed to do the trick. The murderous tension in the atmosphere dissipated a little as they looked at one another. Then they let her go.

Leaving the room pronto and subsequently the building, Lana waited until she was at a safe distance to finally morph back into her real body. From what she gathered, there was an impending massacre. A meeting of truce would be turned upside down by the betrayal of the second guy. And from there chaos will ensue.

After a long deliberation, Lana finally settled on what she would do: to carry out a massacre of her own. (to be continued as a separate mission).

(Kage Bunshin no Jutsu) - Shadow Clone Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20 (total chakra is divided by the final number of clones plus the user)
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.

( Doujutsu: Sharingan ) Eye Technique: Copy Wheel Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C - A Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 - 30 ( -5 per turn for 1T and 2T, 10 per turn to keep active for 3T )
Damage: N/A
Description:
One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Sharingan is the kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan. Unlike the other Dōjutsu, not all members of the Uchiha Clan possess the Sharingan. This great Dōjutsu seems to awaken only on exceptional Uchiha members and only in times of great stress. Once awaken, the pupil turns red and a single tomoe (巴) seal appears around the center pupil. As the user masters and evolves their eyes, the tomoe (巴) seals increase, topping 3 per eye. The main ability of the Sharingan, like any other Dōjutsu, is to enable the user to see the flow of chakra. This ability is further improved as the Sharingan gives color to chakra, enabling the user to differentiate chakras from different people or from different sources. Although the user can see chakra through matter, he cannot see beyond dense matter or in long distances. Coupled with the ability to see chakra, Sharingan users gain acess to an incredible clarity of perception that enables them to read insanely fast movements or minor details, enabling them the ability to foresee in an easier way, traps, incoming attacks, etc. This clarity of perception is so great that a Sharingan user can sometimes start performing a counter to an attack that is still being performed, enabling the counter to be launched only a split a second after the attack. This clarity of perception leaves Sharingan users able to track high speed movement easily as well as to read through handseals. This last ability enables them to learn techniques much faster and sometimes copy them directly from the enemy, as long as the user has the necessary chakra affinities and requirements to perform it. Finally, the Sharingan is often linked to Genjutsu and mind-manipulating illusions, mostly because the user can, mostly through Eye Contact, directly and precisely use his chakra to manipulate the enemy's chakra flow. In return, the users clarity of perception gives him the ability to more easily decipher visual illusions cast upon him and see past them. The Sharingan has a great cost to the user though. The chakra consumption disables its use for long periods of time and, even when the user grows stronger, it's still hard to keep it active for long periods of time.
Note: The user, if he hasn't gained full mastery over his Sharingan, will need to spend a move to activate it, although as long as he has chakra and enough stamina he'll be able to keep it active until the end of the match. If the user is Sannin Rank or above and has gained his 3 Tomoe Sharingan and held it for one month, he becomes able to passively activate it, meaning he'll no longer spend a move of his 3 per turn.
Note: To avoid direct Eye Contact and be able to focus only on the body movement below the chin, the opponent needs to have mastered Taijutsu to possess the necessary skill
Note: C rank usage is for 1T Sharingan, B rank usage is reserved for 2T Sharingan. A Rank usage is reserved for 3T Sharingan.
Note: Predicting the nature of a technique or what it exactly is requires the user to either know the technique or that its a cannon technique.
Note: Danzo and Kakashi bios activate the Sharingan by removing the covers in their respective eyes and suffer a +10 chakra consumption per turn penalty
Note: The user is bound by the abilities and limits of the stage of sharingan he possesses, stated in the rules of the KG.

(Henge no Jutsu) - Transformation Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: E
Range: Short
Chakra: 5
Damage: N/A
Description: A Ninjutsu technique, which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. Henge allows the ninja to transform themselves into any person or object. This allows the ninja to move with stealth or to trick their opponents.

(Kakuremino No Jutsu) - Magic Cloak Of Invisibility Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: E
Range: Short
Chakra: 5
Damage: N/A
Description: The user will pull out a cloak that is pre designed for their use. Then, by using Ninjutsu, they make the cloth blend into the background. Skilled ninja can see through this jutsu.

I am going to start my character here and do the missions working out and eat a good meal.

Mizuka currently residing in Nendo Haven woke up to yet another beautiful day. First things first as an Akimichi, a good breakfast. Mizuka lived in a small yet very sophisticated hut. Nice enough for one person to live in. More than enough for Mizuka. She sparked up the stove and went to her fridge with an assortment of breakfast food, mostly as it was her favorite meal of the day. She would throw a pot on the stove with some butter, and to start, ten eggs mixed with veggies. She proceed to that of an omelette. No meat this breakfast. She poured three glasses of apple juice and drank one entirely while cooking the eggs. You can say in under about five seconds. She hooked up some porridge with it as well. Three bowls worth and seven apples. This was all necessary before her elongated workout for the day. The eggs were done and smelling good. She took her personal buffet to her dining table and sat down for practically no reason as it was all gone within minutes. "Ah! Good, good. Now for training!" she said excitedly. Her favorite part besides her meals. As an Akimichi, to look the way she looks was incredibly hard. But nothing she couldn't manage. Reckon she was the only of her kind in her clan to have that figure. She walked outside in the beautiful sunlight and lush grass and worked out right outside of her house. She had an assortment of workout gear. Water bottle, towel, running shoes, all the good stuff. She dropped all of her extra material and immediately dropped down to do pushups. She did a lot. 1,000 to be exact. She then did squats. Another 1,000 to be exact. She then proceeded to climb a tall tree nearby. She did pull ups on the highest branch and again 1,000 to be exact. She then climbed down the tree and then proceeded to do 100 laps around the entire Nendo Haven, greeting all of the locals and pedestrians as she passed by them. She was finally starting to feel the burn. She finished up her laps and then immediately dove into the nearby ocean and swam 50 meters out and back a total of 100 times. She then came back to her house for a drink of water and wiped her face off and rung out her hair. It was quite annoying, being that her hair was so long so it retained a lot of water. But her bi-daily swim wasn't something she could pass up. If she wanted to be the best at the academy and pass the exams with flying colors, this is what it took. She walked up to a nearby tree and started to box it. Bobbing and weaving and hitting it hard enough to break the bark. She had this special entity about within her strikes that even without her byakugan activated, her gentle fist expertise was embedded in every strike. So it took no more than 20 punches to take down the entire tree. After which, she coated her hands in chakra and started to chop the tree with her bare hands. She needed some fire wood for tonight. It took 4 or so chops er sections to get thru the tree but ultimately her goal was achieved and the tree was completely chopped. So slowly but surely she brought it into her house piece by piece and doing lunges while carrying the quite thick rounded logs. All of it was part of her workout. Once done, she took a break and sat down for a while to read some books and scrolls about ninjutsu. She was a big reader. Well, learner, rather. She liked to learn and books were a good way to learn. This pretty much concluded her day and all that good stuff.She wanted to throw a party soon for the locals and people and ninja around her. Perhaps she will send out invites and prepare soon.

My missions has ended here.

Mission start where I will eat dinner. D rank.

Mizuka, tired from her wadnering around the village and stuff, was very hungry. She went back into her home and thought of ahouse party maybe she could throw, but doubted anyone would be interested. Maybe another time. She slapped that stove on, flames a burnin'. She had just got some fresh deli meat from a nearby market. It was time to get it going. She was going to pan fry 4 steaks for herself, with some rice and veggies. the recipe for the steak is as follows:

1tbsp of garlic powder
1tbsp of salt
1tsb of pepper
3 garlic cloves in the pan
Olive oil in the pan

And that should do it for the steaks. Mizuka liked them bloody. like a vampire of sorts. She just liked how the blood carried the juiciness and remnants of the steak and seasonings. She could probably drink a cup full of it. She started the rice, plain white rice. And some mixxed veggies, two cans worth with a little water and a stick of butter. She needed the fat. After the rice was done, just some salt and peeper would do. The nice veggies were finished, she fried up the steaks, 2 minutes on each side. The meal turned out lovely. Mizuka had these big ol' plates that were suited just for her and they could fit all of her food. She scuffled down the food in approximately 3 minutes, enjoying every last bite. She topped it off with some reading and a glass of wine to end her night...

Ending mission.

Starting in the Ninja World with Rimuru Tempest

Storyboard Elements

D-Rank: Go into town and purchase some supplies.


~~~

Rimuru awoke to the sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the gentle morning breeze. They rose from their sleeping bag, yawning and stretching after a good night's sleep. Soft, warm sunlight filtered its way through the canvas cover, almost as if to invite Rimuru to start his day.

Hopping up and out of bed, they followed their morning routine of rolling the sleeping bag up and storing it to the side of the lean-to. Exiting the shelter, they made their way across the campsite to the adjacent stream and bathed. Their mother always encouraged them to maintain a good level of hygiene, and until she returned, they wanted to make sure she didn't have to worry about them.

After completing that part of their morning ritual, Rimuru began to gather up their things, securing them in their backpack and set off to accomplish their main task for the day. They needed some materials and some supplies to be able to start constructing a new home. The lean-to had served its purpose wonderfully until now, but they were going to need something more liveable for when their mother came back.

"Okay...let's head off." With a skip in their step, they would begin their short journey.

The longest part of the trip was getting to the main road. There were no man-made paths in the forest that Rimuru had set up home in, the only semblance of roads was from the animal trails that had been used excessively over time by the local wildlife. Not that Rimuru minded, they were perfectly happy living here. It was nice, peaceful, full of a wide variety of flora and fauna species. Plenty to be able to hunt or gather when he needed to. Thinking about it, they might need to go gather some things when they returned, but that was something to worry about once they were back.

Having left early in the morning, Rimuru finally hit the road to town, only taking an hour and a half to get there, the sun was still a way away from being high in the sky, so they knew they were making good time. Following the road, Rimuru would soon see their destination on the horizon. A small, quaint timber village that they had visited a couple of times before. Judging the distance, it would take them another half hour to get there. Pulling an apple out of their bag, Rimuru munched down on the fruit as they continued, making sure to keep the seeds for future plans.

The town was bustling as Rimuru entered from the front gate, nodding to a single sentry man as they passed. They had a few stops to make before heading back, so they were going to smash out this shopping as quick as possible. First place was to locate simple woodworking tools like a jointer plane and hand saw. These tools would help with levelling out the logs and trimming them to the dimensions they would be looking for. Rimuru would also grab things like sandpaper and a chisel set, may as well make it look fancy while they go.

Leaving that store, Rimuru would move onto the next destination. A nursery. They wanted to start living somewhat sustainably with the forest, so what better way than to begin with a small vegetable garden. Anything they didn't need for themselves; they could bring to town to sell during one of the markets. Rimuru was excited at the thought of growing their own produce, surveying the numerous selections of seeds, they picked out a few to start a trial run. Some corn, pumpkin and cabbage. Oh, maybe some tomato and potatoes too.

After the seeds were purchased, all Rimuru needed now was a shovel, maybe a hoe as well. If they were to try and cultivate the ground, they would need to be able to manage and turn the soil efficiently. Plus, Rimuru was almost at their carrying capacity, so this would be the last thing to grab. Looking around and asking locals, they soon found a small hardware store that they would be able to grab what they needed. The store clerk looking slightly perplexed but this young child coming in for things so specific. Rimuru joked with the clerk a little before bidding farewell.

With all the supplies they would need to begin their home project, Rimuru left the village a little after noon, estimating his return home to be somewhere in the late afternoon or early evening, they set off out of the village. Pleased with themselves on a successful shopping trip.

Storyboard Mission

Defend yourself from bandit(s?) (D-rank)

~~~

It had not been long since Rimuru had left the village, skipping their way down the road. They were pleased with the success of their shopping mission and were excited to get back to the forest and begin to build his new home.

But nothing ever goes too smoothly, as Rimuru passed by a large thicket of brush, they heard a suspicious shuffled among the leaves. As there was next to know wind and it was still too close to the village for any of the local wild animals to venture near the road, Rimuru could only deduce that they were about to be attacked by people.

Why they would target them, they had no idea. They were just a child, it should be under the assumption that they had no money or valuables to rob what-so-ever. Rimuru, having had lessons with their mother, dived forward into a somersault roll, just as a thick branch came from behind to strike. Rimuru would have to give some credit to whoever tried to strike them. Attacking from the rear was a decent enough strategy to catch many people unaware. Rolling forward, Rimuru would shift their weight to twist into a squatting position to be face to face with the attacker.

Standing before them, with a branch in hand was a single man, and another standing just behind. Two people, it must be Rimuru’s lucky day, they had been hoping to get some exercise in before starting their building plans.

”Well, well, well. To what do I owe this pleasure, dear sirs?” Rimuru asked while the glint in their eye began to shine slightly brighter.

The men looked slightly baffled at Rimuru’s enjoyment and the hint of excitement within his question. Before speaking

”We saw you in town, it looked like you had a bit of coin for us. That's all. Hand over ya money!” Spoken from the man holding the branch, he would hold out the improvised weapon before him, pointing at Rimuru

Rimuru could help but let out a small laugh ”You expect me to just hand it over? When you can’t even land a hit on me? You must be drunk, sir.” Rimuru intentionally leaving a hint of snide sarcasm in their voice, to try and antagonise the man. Setting down their gear, Rimuru would slowly begin to step forward, making sure to smile as they approached.

”What’s the matter? Don’t think you can take me?” Stepping up so the branch was right in front of their face, Rimuru would launch their assault. Using their left hand to knock the branch to the side, they would proceed to jump up and forward to be face level with his target, throwing a punch to connect right in the man’s face, knocking him back.

As the man stumbled back, Rimuru would use their quick reflexes to use one of the raised legs of the punched man as a support, propelling themself up and forward again over the man, making sure to use his face as a ledge for his foot, performing a single and gathering chakra, they would release a small wave of water from their mouth, directed at the second mans head.

Rank: D
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: Creates small waves of water,small blasts, and small shields of water.

Note: Doesn't require a water source but can be used to manipulate existing water.

With water spraying over the second bandit, Rimuru launched themself off the face of the first bandit flipping backwards, pushing the foe completely off balance and onto his back. Rimuru would make a single handseal again to use the same technique as before to spray a small wave of water in between the two men, saturating them and leaving water on the road. Rimuru’s aim was simple: force them close enough together, while wet, so they can get a shocking experience.

Rank: D
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: Creates small waves of water,small blasts, and small shields of water.

Note: Doesn't require a water source but can be used to manipulate existing water.

Landing safely a short distance away Rimuru performed a small series of hand signs, generating electrical currents that sparked around their outstretched hand.

”Thank you very much gentleman, but i am afraid it is time to bid you farewell!” Raising their hand up, they would bring it down to slam on the ground releasing the built up lightning chakra into a surge of electrical energy that spread across the ground and conducted by the water, would shock the two bandits into unconsciousness.

Type: Offensive
Rank: D
Range: Short
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: The user will concentrate their chakra and slam their hand on the ground to release a surge of lightning across the ground to the opponents feet to shock them.

Knowing that it was only enough to knock them out for a small period of time, Rimuru would retrieve from their bag some rope to restrain the two, before checking their own pockets for any money. They were gonna do it to them, so it’s only fair that they have to pay the price. Finding a small pouch of coins, Rimuru would drag the two to the side of the road, before turning and returning to their gear, hoisting it up and then to continue on their way.

Storyboard Mission

Gather resources from the land (D-Rank)

~~~
It was mid-afternoon by the time Rimuru returned to their little campsite, depositing their gear and supplies by the lean to, they would begin to quickly take stock of their current provisions. Running through a little checklist, they realised they should have gotten some things from town. Cursing slightly, Rimuru sighed as they grabbed a small woven basket from the lean to.

A small oversight on their part, Rimuru didn't mind foraging, they just preferred to keep it at a minimum, so the local ecosystem didn't get too out of whack. Walking a short distance from their camp, Rimuru had a few places they normally went to gather things. To the west of camp across the river was a nice grove of wild berries. When scoping out the source, they had made sure to keep an eye out on the wildlife and what they ate. The last thing Rimuru wanted was to eat something poisonous and get sick. These would be the last thing to gather as Rimuru didn't want them to get squashed by the other things they have to gather.

Rimuru would head to the east of camp first, there lied a small clearing in the forest, its where they planned to start their garden, the soil was fertile, and vegetation seemed to grow abundantly here. Making their way to the far side of the clearing, they knelt down and begun to dig shallowly in the soil, next to a plant that was about the height of Rimuru's waist. They were pleasantly surprised when they found this treasure, wild potatoes.

Delicious and high in carbs and fibre, they had been a staple for Rimuru, after all they were a versatile ingredient, able to make even bread out of it. Rimuru would pick out 4 of them for his provisions. Shifting his way around the clearing he found some more wild root vegetables, like carrots and parsnips. He would also collect some wild herbs as well; parsley and coriander were two of his favourites.

Heading west from the clearing, he would make his way to the river, not crossing it yet, he followed along the bank up stream. To another small. Clearing, here he had found that a decent amount of dead wood had collected from the trees above. During stormy weather, the winds would shake the trees and branches would fall, drying out and becoming perfect for kindling and firewood.

Strapping about 10 branches to his basket and throwing in some small debris like dead leaves, twigs and bark to use as a fire starter, he would move onward back to the river. Gathering his chakra like he had been instructed during training, he would carefully step out onto the water, making sure to focus his chakra with each step, adjusting the output each time. A couple of times, his foot would fall below the surface, but the water wasn't that deep, that's why he chose this part of the river to practice this skill.

Taking several minutes to get the feel of it as he crossed, he would then begin to follow the flow of water to the outcrop of berries. They were in abundance at this time so Rimuru could pick a few more then be normally would, there were black berries, some strawberries and blueberries, his personal favourite. Carefully plucking the berries as to not burst them, and as to not get pricked by any thorns it took only a couple of minutes to go around each bush. Looking at the collection in his basket, he deemed it plenty enough to last him the week. Excitedly he would wade back through the river and cross back up to camp.

Storyboard Mission

Prepare dinner (D-Rank)
Do some moderate meditation to improve focus (D-Rank)

~~~
The sun had set quicker than Rimuru had anticipated, so gathering the kindling he collected earlier, he began to build a fire for the night ahead. He would also prepare some things for his dinner; he was going to bake some potatoes and have them with the last of his dried meat and some of the berries for dessert.

While the fire crackled and built up a good number of hot coals, Rimuru would quickly stop at the river to fill a pot of water and set it alongside the fire to begin to boil, placing a small pan that hooked atop the edge of it. This would be how he rehydrated the meat, so it was easier to eat with the potatoes. Rimuru would slice the meat into small cubes and place them in the pan above the boiling water and place a lid that would collect the steam, essentially making a steam oven.

Wrapping the potatoes in some bamboo leaves, he would separate some hot coal and place the wrapped potatoes onto them, making sure to also cover them slightly as well. At this time, he removed the lid from the pot and set that aside, throwing some herbs into the pan to add some extra flair to his meal.

While his meal was cooking, he would take this time to meditate. He did this each night to help prepare him to learn his clan's techniques as they needed a good level of focus and concentration to perform. Sitting back from the fire with crossed legs, Rimuru closed his eyes and began to focus on his breathing.

Taking long, deep breaths, Rimuru would let his mind clear, with each exhale he would feel the external sounds disappear. The crackling of the fire, the rustling of the leaves in the wind, until there was silence. All he could hear was the sound of his breath. Inhale, exhale. His shoulders began to relax, and he could feel the chakra within him flow. Concentrating on his chakra, he would imagine it as a gentle stream that flowed throughout his body, circulating to each of his fingertips and to his toes. He began to imagine himself as just a human made of water, an elemental being.

As his chakra circulated, he kept imagining the flow shift, increasing in speed but also softly trickling. His goal was for control. Rimuru needed to be able to precisely control the flow and intensity of his chakra. Fixating on a singular point, he followed it, directing it around his chakra network, looping it around his body several times, increasing and decreasing its intensity at the same time.

Slowly, Rimuru slowed down his breathing, imagining his chakra begin to flow equally within himself, until he felt he was a single body of water, serene and flexible but with immense power and potential. Slowly opening his eyes, he would focus his chakra into his right hand, and while focusing, imagine his hand slowly transforming into clear water. Slowly he could see that his fingertips themselves had started to become someone translucent, and the firmness of his hands seemed to have faded. Letting out a sharp breath in excitement, his focus broke and his hand went back to normal.

Disappointed that he lost focus, Rimuru also couldn't help but feel happy. This was the closest he had gotten to the final result, and he knew he just needed a little more training before he would be able to properly perform the Hydrification technique. With his senses coming back to his surroundings he remembered he had been cooking dinner, so he quickly grabbed the leaf bundles from the coals, grabbed the pan, carefully, it would be hot after all. Unwrapping the potatoes, with a lot of hot steam escaping he threw them into the pan with the meat and herbs, using his utensils to mash everything together and enjoyed his meal under the clear sky above.
