You Betcho Ass - Lmfao.


An interaction happened before Lena, which eventually would come to an answer. However the appearance of a lizard creature suddenly took Lena aback, not realising it was there before she found the creature quite cute and gave it a little smile in response to it's confident tone of voice. Lena ran her index finger over the Lizard's head and neck as Lorelei spoke again. Fumbling over her questions, Lena would answer with action. A Simple scoop was all it took, her right arm would go lower and sweep up the back of Lorelei's knees and her left would gently grip around her shoulders. Lena tucked the girl tight to her body so that she could rest against her exposed chest, there was enough cushioning to make herself quite comfortable if needed.

The bandit, Topaz watched this happen, he was confused at how he had not been offered a lift over these strangers, well how lifts were being offered at all. His eye twitched. Though watching the Girls proximity to each other like this was entertaining in his own way. Seeing Lena move towards her destination again he allowed her to take over and also allowed Smith to catch up with him before walking beside the travelling man.

"If you are uncomfortable I will try my best to accommodate and adjust." Lena looked ahead to her destination rather than at the woman she was holding, looking pretty neutral expression wise.

Topaz began to make his own conversation with Smith, "So, I don't mean to pry but if that was my girl, I'd be pretty scared for my role in all this." Topaz unlike his name wasn't a gem at all, more of a dumbass rock.

As Smith continued forward at what felt like a snail's pace to him the bandit, Topaz, as he was being called, began to buzz around Smith like a gnat. The man seemed to gravitate toward the only other male figure in the area. It was unusual, Smith wasn't accustomed to this kind of conversation. The man seemed to be insecure and fickle in his wording and mocking tone when it came to the women. This created an unorthodox moment for Smith, Goliaths were taught and raised to see females and males as equal in all things. Due to this Sado, and by extension, Smith saw civilized societies with roles divided by gender to be puzzling or worthy of mockery. He was raised as a Goliath, not as a human so the person who was best at a job should be the one tasked with doing it and there was no difference in picking partners. Smith spoke in a very contrived and sarcastic manner. Oh no. You're right. It would be a travesty if that one woman, fell in love with that other woman. Wait no, it'd be the opposite of a travesty, a mutually understanding relationship. If you're wondering, she's not "my girl" and I don't know her sexual preference, man, but does it matter? People **** who they wanna ****, and the world keeps turning.
Smith didn't understand love, in the way normal humans did. He never had that emotion. It made him think back to something he pushed out of his mind. The last hallucination he had right after he was knocked unconscious from his near death-blow dealt by Fu. The feminine voice told him there was " ." He didn't understand it then, and he damn sure didn't understand it now as this pestering dullard tried to force his insecurities on Smith. He understood ***, he used it as a distraction just like combat, just like killing, just like ale and booze, and just like focusing on other people. Everything was just a little distraction to let him focus on something else. He was growing bored, and the light and frankly inane conversation being provided by Topaz wasn't helping that. He began to survey the area further as his head began to swivel around. He watched out over the horizons to see if there were any signs of people, buildings, farmlands, etc. By this point, he just wanted to get Lena alone and away from Lorelei so that he could finally explain everything without Lorelei being privy to his other nature.
He had made plans, numerous plans focusing on how best to cripple Takauji and his military. He knew very little, but he had ideas and learning more would only further these plans. Lorelei had picked up on it a long time ago. Smith was always more interested in the flow of the world around him than one single person. Sure he focused on people as a distraction, but he was always jumping around from one person to the next and then back.
As all of this happened Lorelei would try to keep her weight evenly perched upon Lena. She looked out over the landscape, it was beautiful. She hadn't been carried like this in years it made her feel, special, almost like a kid again. She could see in all directions for a few kilometers and it was scary to be so high off the ground without feet actually down firmly on the ground but it was fun. Even if it felt a little patronizing in retrospect. However, every few minutes her gaze would fall upon Smith who was close, but not as close as before. Salazzle would lean down toward Lorelei's ear noticing her wandering gaze. She would whisper to her barely audible it would take some focus from even Lena to pick it up. Oooh, girl. .
With that little jest from Salazzle, Lorelei almost jumped from her position quickly and awkwardly shifting her weight. She almost began to fall forward as her body leaned forward and Salazzle tried to lean backward to counter her weight and keep her steady. She began to sway slightly as she looked up to Lena to stabilize her. Her strong grasp and matronly stature were comforting to Lorelei in a way. It reminded her of her mother, who used to carry her on her shoulders high above the ground. Smith lifted his head toward Lorelei and Lena as she swayed and fumbled. He completely ignored Topaz for a moment as he continued forward.​

Topaz's face dropped like a Dog that had it's bone taken from him. It's like in his mind he was surrounded by all these strange people, or was it his ignorant and closed mind that was the cause of this? This man made him think about others' feelings for a moment, his jest swatted away as something that was old and boring. Topaz's upbringing sure was different to these guys and he felt like he definitely wasn't apart of this group, it was annoying being solitary like this he was always surrounded by people that thought like him back in Chungsu. He allowed the others to walk in front of him and just kept to himself at the back. Why'd he bring up *** and stuff man?

Meanwhile Lena was having an interesting time adjusting and keeping up with the fidgeting girl in her hand, like she had suddenly been triggered by something to make Lena's journey a lot harder. Though as grip was adjusted to accommodate that strange behaviour she seemed to calm down slightly. Guess she was just feeling uncomfortable and was trying to rely on herself rather than Lena to fix it. As wrong as Lena was she didn't question it and didn't stop moving. She was starting to recognise the area more and more after passing the crossroads ,moving over the horizon were farmlands, houses and the Sea. She couldn't help but show a little smile at the fact that the place hadn't been torn apart yet. She didn't stop yet and went towards and into the Village.

"This Village is called Mori, and it is the one I live in."

As Lena passed by the first set of buildings a Young Lady landed in front of her with a stern look on her face, a pirate's bandanna covering her forehead and most of her hair except the rest of it draped down her back. She eyeballed Lorelei and then squinted at Lena, she looked irritated and slightly jealous.

"So who is this Princess? And her... Manservant?" She had poked her head out to look at Smith behind Lena before retracting it back behind her strong silhouette.

Lena gently and delicately let Lorelei escape from her grip, allowing her to stand on her own now that most of the Journey had been done. The threaded woman then turned her attention to the girl who had an aggressive tone about her. She gestured to the three new people she had brought into the Village.

"These are my new allies and they are here to help. Well I don't know about Goggles over there. But can you treat them nicely for now?"

"How long are they staying for?"

"As long as it takes."

"You still gonna be... teaching me?"

Lena took that as her way of asking if she'd still pay attention to her without sounding like a little child. But she nodded at the young girl and beckoned her to be on her way, she'll be meeting up with her soon enough to show Smith the fortifications she had been making. But for now, lodgings and business. Lena looked and thought for a moment, where would be the nicest place for Lorelei to stay here - there wasn't too much choice. She then walked further into the Village.

"Sorry about her. She calls herself Hawkeye. She wants me to mentor her... Lorelei, I'm going to take you to my Family's home. They can accommodate for you, they're... warm... people and good company it's the best I have for you. Fishermen might try to make a move on you at the Inn slash Tavern. They're harmless but you're tired."

Zeri's house was a good looking him, with some clear extensions built on it and clear work had been made to it over time as it looked like the other resident's houses but slightly bigger. His house was also slightly out of the way of the rest and was perched upon a small hill that looked over it's own personal Dock where The Gauntlet was ready to be sailed beside the pier. Lena stood in front of the door and knocked, it was a few moments before a little girl answered, brunette hair tied up into two bushy and long pigtails that seemed to have a hint of pink at the edges like she'd had her hair dipped in pink dye. Her beady blue eyes looked up at the Strangers and then towards Lena with a big smile.

"Lena!!!! You're back!" The little girl jumps and Lena crouches down to catch her into her arms, giving her a big hug. Lena squeezes her before letting her onto her own two feet again.

"Alicia, is your mother in?"

And on cue Juliana the mother of Alicia walks into frame wiping her hands with a cloth she held, with a surprised look on her face to see so many people - Juliana had quite a strong stature about her being an ex-soldier of Chungsu and was still quite young looking. Lena stood up and gave Juliana a nod before gesturing to the others.

"This is Smith and Lorelei, Is it okay if Lorelei makes herself comfortable here? She is exhausted, hungry and needs a rest. I'll make up for any loss in resources needed to suit the needs of an extra couple mouths."

Juliana interrupted Lena's ramble with a polite wave of her hand, "Nonsense, we have much room to accommodate new friends of Lena's. You poor girl - looks like you've been run ragged by these two. Come in, Come in - I've literally just put Dinner on. Are you coming in?"

Lena shook her head, "No, I have a couple things I need to do first."

As she let Lorelei get accommodated with her new company, Lena quickly moved out of eye-shot and grabbed Topaz by the chest and whispered in his ear, "Get a Drink and look around. I'll find you." She shoves him away, he looked at her with an angry sneer - but he realised he was in her territory now and was a lamb at the mercy of this wolf. He grumbled in a hushed tone and shuffled away, unbeknown to him that she had planted a card on his person. Lena turned to Smith.

"What would you like to see first?"

He grumbled in a hushed tone and shuffled away, unbeknown to him that she had planted a card on his person. Lena turned to Smith.

"What would you like to see first?"
Smith noticed the man sink and recoil as he moved on to isolate himself from the group. Had he said too much? Made the man feel too small? He didn't really know but he didn't want to be the cause of a breakdown between Lena and her other allies especially if they could later be turned against Lena and Smith for a price. As Lena seemed to be busy adjusting and centering Lorelei to keep her steady and comfortable, Smith fell back a bit walking next to Topaz. Hey, my bad back there. I didn't mean to make it a big deal, I just don't see a problem there if they grow close in that way, that's their business. Here, when we get to town have some ale and food on me. You've got to be a bit hungry after all this walking.
Smith passed over a few coins to fund a nice night of drinking and food. He assumed if the man was busy with that he wouldn't have time to gather information on Lena and her people. Additionally, he didn't want Topaz causing problems later on down the line be they political in the sense that he could tell his buddies not to ally with Lena, or more domestic causing a problem between Lena, Smith, and Lorelei. Either way, he figured this the best course of actions to create an apology and mend any broken bridges without seeming closeminded.

As they came to a crossroads Smith noticed over the horizon many farmlands begin to eek into existence. He split off from Topaz once more catching up to Lena and Lorelei as he walked alongside them now realizing they were close to their destination. Beyond the farmlands, Smith could see a multitude of speckled houses popping into the horizon and then far off in front of those was a large body of water. It was a nice quaint sight.
Everything here was much different than the landlocked landmasses he was used to in the Badlands of Earth. It had a more homey and lived in vibe. Most of the land he had accumulated under the banner of the Golden Sabbath were either empty or sparsely populated. It was a nice change of pace and gave him a few ideas of how to build up his own lands. He would have to explain all of this to his main body when he got a free chance to do that.
Smith bowed his upper body slightly as if playing into the preconceived notion the child had made in her head of a princess and her manservant even if it was said in sarcastic jest. He remained rather silent during this exchange letting Lena explain things to her people so that they could get to the city proper and he could finally begin explaining things. The moment she was placed down upon the solid ground again after regaining her barrings and balance Lorelei seemed to gravitate back toward Smith anxious about the new place however she seemed much more at ease here than in the Ruins of Chungsu. As the young girl called her a princess she lowered her stance so that she was at about eye height with the child and began to speak to her. I'm definitely not a princess, but I do have a small bit of medicine and a few remedies should you know anyone who's been feeling ill lately. If you bring them to me I'm sure I could help in my own small ways.
She stood back up and began to follow Lena remaining very close to Smith now. He seemed to be gathering up as much information about this city as he could. He was looking at the structure, the placement so close to the water, the farmlands and grasslands behind him and whatever else could be used in the future. Then they came before a modest house, it looked like it had been extended a few times with new areas and remodeling done over the years. As the group watched Lena knock on the door it was but a few moments before another child opened the door.
They both watched as Lena introduced them to the child and her mother and Lorelei seemed to put at ease by this more down to earth and family-like environment. She left the group and wandered into the home nearly lead by the strong statured woman. She was hesitant to leave Smith's side as he had been her protector up until this point but with a gentle nod from him and a gentle swat in the back by Salazzle and her extended tail she ended up drifting slowly into the house and deeper within its recesses. Salazzle stayed latched to her body in a defensive manner.

Smith nodded to Topaz as if to say "see ya" as Topaz was told to go get a drink and look around. Smith turned his attention back to Lena as she began to talk to him this time more direct and forthright. Finally, he thought. He had been waiting to say a lot of things that he didn't want Lorelei to see. It was strange that he cared this much about it but he seriously didn't want her seeing his more-... violent and devious side. It would probably shatter the facade he had been building and any attachment Lorelei had built up for him in her mind. Smith lifted a hand as a shift seemed to happen. The cheery disposition and flowery, stoic man he was, seemed to be replaced by a more direct and unscrupulous tone.

First, I need to know your line, the line you won't cross. I've been thinking it over on our way here, and I have a few ideas but they're going to cause a lot of problems for Takauji, his Black Ones, and his people. This will be by design. I'd like to see a map of these lands if you have one, additionally a map of the adjacent lands if you have that. Your fortifications would be nice to see, but I have a more refined idea for that. I'd like to cut Takauji off completely from moving north by land. Though like I said, I'd like to hear where you draw your line. What plan, that you can think up would be too much for you to accomplish? Too dark or too dangerous for Takauji and his people that morally you'd be against it. It might sound like a dumb question but I need to know where and when you'd have a problem with a plan I might come up with. Know if we go with what I want to do from this point forward, we're going to piss him off to no ends. He's going to want us dead and burried and it will bring upon us all the ire of him and his Black Ones.

Smith seemed a bit different now. His eyes were a bit darker, and his posture that was once proud, noble and extended slouched slightly. He still had that charismatic tone to his voice, but the more nice and kind inflection it held seemed to fade slightly as he began to talk about Takauji. It seemed like he held no good-will toward him or his people.
It wasn't exactly hatred, more like indifference and apathy. However, Takauji had wronged him and his clan the moment he turned the world against them. Smith wanted to make him pay for that, especially for targeting the people of the lands, instead of just the shinobi who were his true enemies. He paused and waited for Lena to speak and to note her reply.​

Lena listened to this new side of Smith, explaining to her his thought process and asked of her how she was morally. Lena didn't take long to think, she already had an answer to how she would be willing to combat Takauji and that was...

"....By any means necessary. I will do anything to protect my family. However, I will not directly cause the death of civilians and innocents, they cannot help being deceived by a man like Takauji and his black ones. Though if you do, I won't stop you. I'm a monster, but I don't take lives for no reason."

Maybe he thought her thought process and way was strange, but it's how she was. She couldn't really clearly see the line that she wouldn't cross in her head. Maybe it didn't exist at all, whenever Lena had a goal she'd go through lengths to complete it that others may have thought were too far - so when asked by another, it was strange to think about. She did have feelings though, even if she wouldn't admit it.

"I'll take you to the fortifications, there you can meet Zeri. He's the father of that little girl Alicia and husband to Juliana. He's also de facto leader of Mori."

Lena strolls towards the exit of the village again, leaving the other two in the capable hands of the village itself. It was time to discuss proper tactics and other things in regards to Takauji himself. They would make their way back out to the grasslands, Lena had more details to show Smith there including a map of Shinramoto - she didn't know if someone had maps of Uraraha or other places that surrounded.

Smith thought for a moment as he saw the way she rationalized it and he felt like he understood what was going through her head. He heard her say she'd put her people first, her family first "By any means necessary" but Smith didn't think she truly understood what he meant when he asked her what the line was. The plans he was building in his mind, and the things he was taught to do by his tribe. They were destructive, usually fueled by indifference to humankind as a whole. These were the same people that went on catastrophic rages tearing apart civilized societies merely on a whim directed by nothing more than the world around them.
No, don't do that Lena. Be honest with me, and be honest with yourself. I need you to tell me your line. Is it civilian casualties on Takauji's side? You say you'd let me do whatever. You'd let me poison his food and water supply? You'd let him and his Black Ones slowly starve as his people began to realize that their hunger, their despair, and their outright will to survive outweighed their own fear of him and his repressive regime? You'd let me clog up his ports, and make it so that his ships couldn't move from their nearly landlocked state to import and export goods to feed a starving people? You'd be fine with watching as his trade routes by sea were crippled and we walled him off from the land route so that he won't be able to march his army northward without resistance? This would pin him in place outside of Shinramoto and the upper portions of the Tea Peninsula locked into the few pieces of land he was able to obtain and hold. He has a vast fortune, he's going to use it to his advantage against us and the world. From what you've told me this is as close to the front line as physically possible and you and your people are his next target. If we don't keep him and his army always distracted, always looking over their shoulder for the next catastrophe making them use their fortune just to survive they're going to use their spoils, and surplus to hire more mercenaries to do their work for them. Toss out more bounties with your name on them this time. He wants chaos for us, and for us to break ourselves against each other. So we make chaos for him instead and prepare to mitigate anything he can throw at you. My lands are far from here, you know that and what that means is the consequences of our actions will fall here first, long before they come upon my lands. We either take hold of this moment of inactivity on his part, or we let him overwhelm us. At least that's how I see it.
Smith was somehow both straightforward and vicious at the same time his tone was much different than the gentle and kind man that was shown up until this point. He felt like he was pointing out how things were plain and simple, but he was doing it in a way that showed Lena the kind of person he was. She said she believed herself a monster, Smith felt the same way about himself. Taking a moment to contemplate everything he tried to obtain a glimpse of Takauji's perspective. What did he see this land as? For a man like him who wanted to return to the old ways, it would be the first commodity to obtain before Chungsu, it would be what he directed all of his efforts toward.
The Golden Sabbath, at least from the stories being spread were broken their ranks fallen and weakened. Smith believed that this would cause every ounce of Takauji's focus to fall upon Shinramoto and his expansion. He wanted Lena to know this. That it wouldn't be simple, every tactic every plan, and every decision would end up hurting someone else indirectly. Could she do that? Hurt others? Smith didn't know her well enough to know if she could, but he didn't want to lose this alliance. He didn't want to push her beyond her limits into something that she didn't want to force herself to do.
Smith felt like he immediately realized what she was doing. It was exactly what Sado was doing in the Golden Sabbath's lands to the people he found there. She was taking the hope, the dreams, the admiration and feelings of her people and she was putting it on her own shoulders to carry herself. It would be a massive burden to place on her back Smith damn well knew that from the problems Sado was having with it.

Lena, I know what you're doing. I admire it.

This time the tone was more somber in an earnest and humorless tone.

But the weight will kill you if you can't be honest with yourself.

Maybe some or even all of it was just self-projection, but he felt like Lena would understand what he meant or at least she would try to. He had spoken at length vaguely about some of the plans that were buzzing through his head. Many of them were driven by his bipolar nature and his severe ADHD making it hard to focus on the small stuff. His mind wanted to worry about the bigger stuff in honesty. As he spoke, it was in an almost manic tone, one that accelerated as he continued. His speech was fast, and direct as if the words were coming out of his mouth before he could think about them.
To the right person who understood them they could be seen as both genuine, and sincere, if not a bit haphazard but to the wrong person-... stupid and inane. Smith gave her ample space to talk now. Maybe he was way off base, and the emotional responses he saw as hidden as they seemed were just self-projection. Maybe he wasn't as good at reading people as he thought. He didn't know but what he had said was already said so it couldn't be taken back. As they proceeded toward the grasslands Smith would sigh slightly disappointed in himself. What had brought on a response like that? He thought to himself. Maybe he had existed as a clone too long. Usually, these things only lasted like twenty minutes, enough for a fight. They weren't really meant to have their own life seperate from their host existing for days.​

Lena continued to walk as Smith talked, she didn't look at him and just thought about what he said. He provided a list of what he'd do, a few ideas she hadn't even thought of yet. It would be chaos and it would cause a lot of desperation which in turn would cause Takauji to start lashing out himself in such ways. But Smith explained his defensive strategies too - a giant wall was something Lena had already planned, but that was more of along term application to the Landmarks, her current defences being more short term immediate attack worthy.

She clenched her fist and made a struggled look on her face, trying to process that amount of suffering and pain that would be caused on both sides. He was really making her question herself? It was quite Naive of her to think that civilians weren't going to be hurt as they already were - and Takauji would go to the same lengths if not worse that Smith would and definitely Lena would as she witnessed in Toksong. Smith's thoughts were very open to the bigger picture and offered a new more brutal perspective to Lena, something she didn't have before as she was usually the one with the bigger perspective in Shinramoto. Unless Zeri had already thought of all this and not told her. He liked keeping things to himself a lot more when it came to plans. She shook her head. Damnit.

"Like I said, I'd be fine with you doing whatever you want to him as long as it's not my people you're hurting."

Lena's answer was too brash, to be honest she still needed to think - but admitting that she still needed to think might be seen as some form of weakness of her resolve. It was tough. His words dodged passed her emotional barriers quite well.

"Do you think a Wall would work though? He has summoners at Degarashi he could easily fly over the walls or use Ninjutsu to break it down. I understand it would cause a degree of defence and would definitely delay his approach. But for how long? You're going to make him desperate if you continue to strike his resources, desperate enough for him to send out his strongest to obliterate the wall you've made - and what if he has Med Ninja on his side that can cure the water and the citizens. He could use that then, to show that we are the true - the worse monsters and that they are right for them to trust him, as a healer myself that is one way I would gain trust. I think he is too strong to just go after his people, we need to turn them like you've said but again we're still ignorant on the resources he has personnel wise."

In the distance activity was seen, Tents and smoke as the volunteer villagers worked. It looked like more had joined them, from the other villages that Zeri had managed to unite and had brought their resources to help. A lot more trenches were built and wooden watch tower structures - and there were carts scattered around and it looked as though there were lines of Villagers training to fight too. As best they could anyway. Lena reached the Cliffside that overlooked the potential battlefield. She was flanked by two In-Progress Watch Towers, up here also seemed to be a sort of Head Quarters, where a few influential people from the other villages resided along with Zeri. Before she approached the HQ, she nodded to some villagers that she recognised before she reached the edge of the cliff to show Smith their progress.

"This is the quickest way to my Village and probably the best route for his Army to cover more ground. Looks like our other allies have joined us too."

Hah. I am a monster. As he said that Smith let the natural energy overwhelm him for a moment as his right shoulder, his right arm, and the right side of his face began to crack and twist. It's what he had seen himself as since he was a child, just a reject, partially from Goliath culture, and partially from civilized society but not fit for either. The flesh began to warp and breach as his naturally light skin turned a deep purple like dead tissue that had long since atrophied and necrotized.
This purple tint was offset by a deep green repugnant chakra that began to twist around his upper body as for a moment the form shifted, the nails on his right hand grew to razor-like points. The purple color and green marks suffused up and through his torso surrounding him almost completely in a momentary rush of energy. His right eye turned pitch black the only spot of color a hollow yellow iris surrounded by a pool of darkness, of nothingness. It showed a duality, half of his body and face was normal the appearance Lena would have grown familiar with. The other half was grotesque almost demonic in nature with a gnarled and bumpy appearance.
This happened abruptly as they continued walking, Smith let Lena lead him and followed behind her. He listened to her intently. She made valid points but they couldn't continue to be on the defense. Smith believed if they didn't take the offensive they'd miss their chance. These were her lands though and he wasn't going to overstep boundaries she had. His body slowly returned to normal as they continued walking, Smith seemed to calm a bit returning to a more level-headed nature. He began to assume now wasn't the time, it seemed like Lena was thinking, or maybe she was abhorred by the faint ideas he had.

That's what I want him to do. Waste his resources, burn himself out bashing his head against the wall. As I said they're all distractions, to keep him busy so that he's using his resources to fix something, or break something. So that he's not spending it on his own alliances. If he used his medical shinobi to heal that would be another distraction set, another resource used. I'm not a smart man, but being a warrior-... being a monster is the only thing I was raised for, I'm alright with being perceived as something terrible to get the job done. I don't feel like there will be a true winner in this game or a real hero. Both sides are going to suffer loses, and both sides are going to have to deal with their own morality and make tough choices. I don't think there's a good guy and a bad guy in this situation. As much as I fault Takauji for his actions, we're just as wrong to him, as he is to us. Tell me how would you turn the people to your side and against him? How would you gain their hope and trust before he can have an army amassed and tearing through your lands? I'm sure you can infer by the way I've asked about it your line is where I'll stop when it comes to the safety of your lands, and your people. I'm merely an ally in this if I can stop his advance that helps my cause and yours. Though I ramble. I do that often if you haven't noticed.

As he went silent he noticed the hustle and bustle off on the horizon. He saw trenches, towers, carts and various villagers training and preparing to fight. It seemed like he didn't want those people there on the field. It was like he mentioned before he felt like this wasn't their war and that if they fought most of them would die. His eyes sank slightly, at that thought. Lena spoke about not wanting to see death, about not wanting her people to be hurt. It seemed like they had completely different ideas on how to go about that.
The moment Sado heard about the danger in his lands he evacuated the people, he told them they wouldn't fight and he'd do the fighting. Maybe he was wrong, should he have left them to fight for their lands? He didn't really know. Smith felt a strange sensation swelling up in his chest, it felt like guilt. As he stood at the cliff he looked out as far as he could see back toward the village and then turning forward beyond it toward what he believed to be Takauji's lands. He wanted for Lena to speak once more. He felt like he needed her perspective on what she wanted to do now. He had made his suggestions, he could explain them further but they didn't seem to resonate with Lena.​
(Senninka) - Sage Transformation
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: C-A
Range: Short
Chakra: 15-30
Damage: 30-60
Description: Sage Transformation is an ability wielded by Jūgo's clan, which increases their physical abilities and allows their bodies to perform various shape-shifting feats due to their innate ability to passively absorb natural energy. It is a multifaceted ability that permits them to achieve feats ranging from creating various weapon-like appendages to altering their body structure, as well as a general increase in their physical capabilities. In the experiments created by Orochimaru, this ability is referred to as "Cursed Seal Transformation" (Juinka). The transformation can be used countless times in battle and sustained while the user has enough chakra to do so. The damage the technique can produce is proportionate to the body part altered and the way it was altered. This technique enables the user to produce melee attacks or defenses through the alteration of his body. When utilized by Mitsuki, he gains a cyan chakra shroud that forms into ethereal snakes around his body to aid in his attack range, and he grows out a single horn from his forehead.
Note: Only useable by Sage Transformation bios.

Smith's chakra:
830 - 30 = 800

"Hero" She heard him say. That word stuck with her for a moment, a word she heard a lot mainly from her family and the people in her village. Directed towards her, yet she always kept calling herself "Monster". A Word she heard him say, multiple times also - to describe himself. She was starting to see similarities in him, like before when he transformed she had noticed with a simple flick of her head that darkness - though was too busy thinking to state anything. Lena could do something similar, transform - though she wasn't as freely interested in showing it as he. Didn't stop her from being interested though, a fun thought tried to break through her serious mindset currently, but she squelched it with a metaphorical boot.

"I know from what you stated before that, you're not all in to these people fighting. But I had a thought not too long ago, when a group of raiders hired by Takauji earlier this week simply turned up and took what they deemed theirs. It made me think. I cannot be there all the time, especially with this power-hungry individual as a neighbour, they cannot keep running from their homes when a threat turns up - they may as well not live here. So I'm trying to help them, protect themselves if they want to - and they do. These aren't the type of people that will roll over and I understand that there are those that wont be able to fight or will not and I'm fine with helping them leave because I want her to....them too." Lena accidentally let slip her thoughts on Alicia, she paused and let her mind gather itself together, "I don't know if they will all leave now, but I don't blame them - it is there home, and they're going to have to fight in this torn nation for their freedom. And at least they will die with it, rather than suffer in a strange place in the hands of people they do not know. And besides, we're going to need people to man your walls."

Lena smirked and turned to face Smith this time. It soon faded as she spoke again,

"There will be death. Not just on their side but ours too, I will have to deal with that. Zeri knows and they know, I've been clear...."

"And we will not run away from the land we've been raised on and worked hard to keep our livelihood intact."

Lena turned around to the familiar voice. It was Zeri, looks like whatever meeting was being held had been done with. He wore a confident smile and pose, taking a place on the cliffside edge looking over these villagers.

"I have had a little dream, well I wouldn't call it little. But, in my Mind the people of Shinramoto won't just be fishermen and farmers. No, this is the first step to create a faction large enough to repel it's rivals - Shinramoto itself will become something more. Ashikaga isn't going to stop me, if anything he fuels my desire to create it"

Lena bowed her head as Zeri sort of started blurting out his vision, though it's something she would follow if she could. She had always put her trust in his endeavours and it wouldn't change - even if it was as big as to turn Shinramoto into the next Chungsu. Zeri looked at Smith, eyeing him up and down.

"He's not dressed like those bandits we saw in Chungsu, a new friend?"

"A potential ally."

"Ah! Nice to meet you. My name is Zeri."

"We'll talk again later, Smith. I have more business to take care of, Zeri."

Lena had to give herself some space to think from the man that was Smith. She took her leave of the two, moving towards Uraraha. She still had the energy to keep going, she always seemed to which she was glad for especially with lack of time the world seemed to be giving her.

Zeri, was it? I have something I'd like to show you. You seem to be Lena's advisor and strategist. Smith spoke in a rather plain tone. It didn't seem hostile or friendly it was just him speaking with no real inflection. Smith really didn't like having regular people here, it wasn't his place to make that decision but he silently felt like they'd just get in the way or get themselves hurt which would distract Lena from their objectives. Even though she wouldn't admit it to him, he believed that she was more sentimental then she let on. He slowly walked over to a table with the map of Shinramoto upon it looking down on it he surveyed the area. After a few moments of pondering he shoved his right hand into his pouch as he ruffled with something inside of his bag something he had bought a while ago off of two merchants in . He unrolled a blank map out on top of the one of Shinramoto as he looked down to it. There was a massive black spot on it like spilled ink that blackened the impressively pristine and well-forged map. The paper seemed like the finest paper possible, more like an artists canvas than a piece of paper or a map. I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.
The moment Smith spoke those words the ink spot began to move and twist spreading out throughout the map. In seconds there was a perfect duplicate of the map that laid below it with the cities, the mountainous regions and even the grasslands. However, there was something strange about it. The ink continued to move as small trails of footprints began to move throughout the land pretty much populating the lands with numerous small trails of slow-moving footprints. Smith lifted his right hand pointing to a set of footprints far off from the grasslands in the city they had just come from. Next to the footprints was a name "Lorelei" next to that was another set of smaller footprints with a name "Salazzle." Smith scanned the map for a few moments until he found another name "Topaz" he pointed to it. This is the bandit Lena has allied with. It seems he may be off spending the money I gave him on ale and food. This is the market district correct?
Slightly above the village was its name "Mori." The map was ever-changing never static and dead. People were moving all throughout the lands some didn't have names attached to them but every person that Smith knew the name of did indeed have a name attached to their own set of footprints. Zeri was even on the map standing next to a pair of footprints with an obscured name. The map seemed to know that the clone wasn't using it's real name thus it didn't provide one.

With this we can monitor not only this land but other lands. All it takes is the map being in a specific land and it will change to mimick that land. It will allow us an intuitive understanding of landmasses, as well as troop placement and movements. It can allow us to intercept incursions before they happen, and set up surprise attacks. We have to be constantly, confusing, confounding, Takauji's henchmen. We need to draw and keep his attention. If you truly want your people to be more than "fishermen and farmers." You need to convince Lena that she needs to make a choice and become your armor. These Black Ones, they're dangerous and filled with misplaced rage. Your people need to always be engagin’ em. Escapin’ em. Enragin’ em. Lena told me she's stolen guns and ships, we need to do more until the balance shifts. With this map, the Black Ones should never be able to surprise us-... that is if I can even gain Lena's trust.

After staring at the map for a few moments Smith looked back up to Zeri. Smith felt as if he wanted to get to Lena and get her to actually make the hard decisions he needed to get her people's ears. He needed them to see the choices that had to be made, directly and more than that they needed to see the danger. His voice the entire time was monotone and empty, emotionless like he was detaching himself from the map and from the information he was giving.

( Marauders no Chizu ) - Marauder's Map
Type: Artifact
Rank: C
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: N/A ( 5 per turn when used )
Damage: N/A
Description: The Marauder's Map is a special map crafted in a joint effort by the best artisans of the Freehold and the Black Ones Intelligence Division many years before their downfall. This map is the weakest one in a lost set of maps gifted to Black Ones depending heavily on their rank and skill in the Freehold there may be stronger and more detailed maps out in the world lost to time or they may have all been destroyed leaving only the weakest variation. This is just a remnant of a once strong military powerhouse. It was crafted with sheets of the finest paper in the empire and infused with special ink from one of the best Ink Ninjutsu users of the Freehold. The map is said to be one of the cornerstones of Hangurian War allowing the commander who held the map to know, monitor and predict the positions and placements of both their own troops and the troops of their enemies. This is done by the self sustained map which grants the holder the ability to see the foot steps of anyone inside the landmark they are are currently in. This is done by the special chakra reactive ink which will move in tandem with the movement of the people in the landmark creating a rudimentary guide of where each person in the landmark is and how they are moving. The area of the map additionally changes with whatever landmark the user finds themselves in thus allowing for an in depth understanding over the position of others and of natural landmasses. If the wielder of the map knows the name of the person the ink corresponds to they will see the name next to their footprints if they do not know their name they will only see the footprints. This made it easy for Hangurian Black Ones to shift the tides of war and surprise their enemies allowing them to take over a large swath of the Ninja World in their prime. The artifact does not require Ink Ninjutsu to use as the Ink is a self sustained substance that feeds upon trace amounts of the wielder's chakra to tune itself to the chakra signatures found in a landmark.

Zeri didn't see himself as a strategist or advisor to Lena, he'd always been in the leader role but it seemed this man thought she took the mantle. Couldn't blame him, she was the strongest of them all here at Shinramoto - Zeri didn't even think he was the strongest after that either. He looked at this new man Lena had left him with and pondered about his intentions, Ashikaga must've done a number on him too. Though what caught his attention was this map, and what a map it was. It showed everything and no it wasn't a still map it was ever moving and changing - he could see himself and the people around him moving about. He had to look up from the map to the actual people then back down at the map to make sure it was accurate.

"Wow that's quote the item you've got there. This will be... amazing. Extraordinary even. This is gonna help ten times what a normal map could. How did you come by something like this?"

Zeri kind looked at the Map's depth, but it was still paper-thin. This didn't distract him from what Smith had said though, his very aggressive tactics had a ring to them that Zeri liked though wasn't confident with how they could proceed. They had Lena but she was very set on being protective.

"I agree. However. Lena is... protective. She doesn't admit it but she feels a lot, probably too much in her case and she dislikes it about herself. Even though it's what keeps her, like us. She's a bit of a mother and just wants to be defensive. I think she's afraid of branching away too far from home. I think going to Degarashi Port was the furthest she has gone from Shinramoto for years."

Zeri looked from the map to Smith, his words stern but a hint of empathy in his voice,

"I'm really not strong enough to push her to her limits, even if she does follow me she'll always slump back into what is comfortable to her. I'm guessin you can use Chakra properly to a higher degree like her, if you want her gain her trust stop trying to be nice and push her. Though that seems like the opposite of getting her to trust you - she's smart enough to see the intentions though."

Zeri's advice was confidently given, though he didn't want to cause a fight between the two. In fairness he didn't know how she would react to the stranger being pushy and could go wrong. But it was his own personal goal to drive her, this Smith character could be that force. Zeri didn't mean to just use him like this, and would keep it to himself for now.

It had been a few hours now and the work in the grasslands had come to a bit of a break for the day. People were eating together, drinking and jesting to each other. Conversations and laughs heard between the residents of the different villages of Shinramoto. Zeri made face across the camps and was giving out food and drink to people who had not yet received it. He made his way back up to his little HQ and looked down at the Marauder's map that Smith had lay on the table. He saw someone approaching from the direction of Uraraha. Name was slightly blurred but you could tell it was Lena.

"She's back... Alone?"

Coming From :

She was close already, so he went out to meet her, waiting for her to come into view. He saw the speck of what seemed to be something bigger than a human approaching fast. A Horse? There was also a lump on the back, not a lump more of a person. It was clear now, a rider approached. Zeri grinned, glad that Lena had come back but was on a horse - strange she didn't leave with one. Maybe it was a gift and the people she talked to would be coming after.

No. Wait a moment. Something was wrong, her stature was all different and out of control, her silhouette was weak. Zeri started to walk again, then started to run as he noticed she seemed all over the place. As the horse was very close Zeri tried to halt it, but had to move out of the way and let it passed else he be trampled over. He made a few call outs and it sort of responded, slowing down as he shushed the panicked horse. It turned slightly trying to get a better look at the man making the noise - he approached slowly with his hands out. The horse blew air from it's nose and shook, Lena was curled over and then slowly fell off the saddle. A loud thud crumpled onto the ground and the horse got some distance from it's rider. Zeri ran up to the woman and crouched beside her, examining her before pressing his head against her chest - a heartbeat? Uhm.. Many heartbeats? They were very erratic and out of sync. He knew her body was put together strange, but he could not tell at all if she was okay pulse wise - she looked a mess however, cuts and scars, dried blood. He tried to get her arm around his shoulders and lift her up, but she seemed like she had knocked out - her body recuperating. Zeri walked and carried her towards the Campsite, it took him a while, he fell and stumbled - she didn't move right and there was no proper traction. The horse wouldn't listen, until finally he managed to get the horse to some sort of control, he pushed Lena up over the horse's back and then used it to carry Lena back to the Camp.

Once he got her back, Zeri had some helping lifting Lena onto a camp bed and kept her comfortable. He got some people who knew a bit of medicine to look her over, but they just expressed their surprise at how her body worked and couldn't do much. They'd just have to let her recover on her own. Zeri wondered what had happened and just as he'd leave her to it, a gasp is heard, he quickly turns around to see her eyes wide open - looking around. Lena's head turns towards Zeri before she quickly sits up - seeming ok.

"L-Len...."

"They're Coming. We have to get ready."

Lena leaps out of bed, stumbling to her knees and coughing. Zeri crouches beside her and puts an arm around her.

"You need to rest."

"NO! ZERI. Did you not hear me?!!!?"

Lena looked at him, eyes wide and panic in her voice. This was new. He was slightly shook.

"You need to. Get Juliana and Alicia away from Mori, use The Gauntlet to get them across the Gulf please."

"I need to fight with my villagers."

"Alicia and Juliana need you!"

"No. I'll Send someone."

Zeri was stubborn, he wanted and needed to fight for his village and for the land, to show Shinramoto that he was ready to be something more than what he was. If he left, then everything he had say would just be hypocrisy. He walked away to get someone to run back to Shinramoto. Lena clenched her fist and slammed the ground multiple times out of frustration and almost started crying, feelings welled up inside her and she just tucked her head into her chest. She heard shouting, activity outside, clattering. People were getting ready....

Sorry about the wait and inactivity on my part. I've been busy with WoW and my attention has been divided between this scenario and the one beginning up in the Badlands of Earth. My posts my be slow or lackluster and I apologize for that in advance. Also since I missed out on replying I'm splitting this into two portions, an earlier and a present.​



Earlier

I bought it off of two merchants in Cheopo, on the outskirts of Keishi. They "won" it by cheating in a game of dice. Smith didn't seem like he had a problem telling the man where he obtained the map. It wasn't a big deal he thought. He was learning fast that this world have various items of power each with their own usefulness. This one however was niche, it was a tool of war, one that fit what they needed very well. Maybe he was underestimating this man or overestimating Lena. The way he reacted to the map, was more of what he expected from Lena, the reaction was what he needed. He seemed interested, and it seemed like he saw the potential it held. Smith felt like he would have had to explain this to Lena in a long drawn out manner which was why he went on, and on while explaining it to Zeri but it seemed like he didn't need all of those flowery words. He seemed to instantly see the potential the map had as a weapon of war. If Smith could gain the trust of Zeri, maybe he could gain the trust of Lena by proxy. In Smith's mind Zeri seemed to be Lena's second, as ironic as that thought was in reality.
After that small discussion Smith found himself a small area away from everything else. He pulled out the scroll he was given and wrote down everything he had learned. He sent all of the information back to himself, back to Sado. It was a trove of knowledge. Everything he had learned about Takauji Ashikaga from Lena. Who Lena was, what she was doing. All he knew about her people, how they looked up to Lena in a similar way as to how Sado's people looked up to him. He spared no details in the information he had sharing everything.

Present

Smith was seperate from everyone else trying to decompress. His thoughts were becoming more and more fractured the longer he existed. It was hard to come to terms with his short life knowing that in an instant it would all be gone. His emotions, thoughts and experiences would all live on through Sado but that was different then Smith himself experiencing them. Then he heard a loud commotion as he exited the small tent-like structure he found a mess. Lena was injured, the camp was yelling and active. Smith sought out Lena finding her and Zeri together. Lena seemed emotional.
It was the first time he had saw her in this way. She seemed scared, wounded, and tempermental. How could he deal with this? He wasn't good at emotion, he wasn't good at comforting, he was-... his thoughts were empty and he was speaking before he could form the actual thoughts. Calm down. We have a moment.
He moved forward toward her entering short range as he quickly performed the diagnosis skill, her body was strange. Multiple hearts, five to be exact. Moderate wounds throughout the body, but this shifting thread. Could it be healed in the natural way? Smith would have to find out as he extended his right hand outward toward her throat where he noticed a somewhat closed gash. He forced the healing natured chakra deep into the body as he moved his hand in a circular manner trying to aid the shifting mass in it's regeneration.
Lena seemed like she was in no real shape to fight even as Smith watched her try to force herself to move and act. He lowered his right hand pumping a copious amount of healing natured chakra into the body trying to further aid the strange black threads into stitching back together. After he had done all he could he looked to her eye to eye.

What do you want to do?

He said with a rather cold tone, it seemed apathetic to the situation. Internally he felt like he had warned Lena and she was too stubborn to trust him. She threw herself into danger instead of trusting his word, instead of realizing that he may have been right. He tried to hide that though behind a bit of stoicism but small flecks of the cold demeanor seeped through. Smith stood up before looking out over the field waiting for Lena to speak. He would be forced into a war now more than likely he didn't mind that, it was the lack of trust that bothered him.

( Iryō Ninjutsu: Shōsen Jutsu ) - Medical Technique: Mystic Palm Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A ( 80 )
Damage: N/A ( 40 )
Description: This medical ninjutsu allows the user to speed up the body's natural healing process by focusing chakra onto their hands, forming an aura of greenish chakra which he then sends into a wound or afflicted body part. This allows the user to heal a patient without the need for medical equipment or surgery, making it very useful on the battlefield. It can be used to treat both external and internal injuries. It is vital to match the amount of chakra used to the severity of the affliction or injury. This requires a great amount of chakra control. Because of this, only a few highly skilled medical-nin are able to use this technique. The limitation of the technique is that it cannot regrow missing body parts or remove with poisons or toxins, though it can heal damage by them. Additionally, perhaps its more severe drawback is the chakra cost, which is much higher than any other medical technique. For each damage point the user of the technique wishes to heal, he needs to spend twice as much chakra. Basically, for x amount of damage the user needs to spend 2x amount of chakra to repair/heal. The user can also use this technique on himself and it can be used with one hand or two and even in two targets at a time or while using another technique with the other hand. The speed of the healing is fast but not instant.
Note: Can be used on up to 2 targets.
Note: Can only be used by Medical Ninja.

It's no worries, tbf I didn't know if I should wait or if you wanted me to come back from Uraraha so I was throwing it up into the air to post. And just eventually did, my bad tho - it's fine we all get sidetracked dude.


This post marks the beginning of my mission and narrative using these storyboard elements:
- In the darkest hour, overcome (5)
- Custom: Repel the Attack made by Takauji Ashikaga (5)
- Custom: Survive the Battle of Shinramoto (5)
- Custom: Save a large community from complete destruction (5)

Summary: After being ambushed in Uraraha, Takauji had made his move on Shinramoto with an army. He was prepared and ready to attack. I've used a clan mission as a normal mission in this case because it was suitable, it was time for Shinramoto in it's darkest hour, to overcome to onslaught of Takauji, Lena had to repel him, survive him and save the ones she cared for. It's going to be a long fight...



Lena watched as Smith approached her, closing in and reaching out she felt like she should retaliate, but was too irrational to fight. Her thoughts were else where, there was no point in putting up barriers in front of this man that was trying to help right now. She started to feel better how ever, strength returned to her body slowly - she was being healed, seemed she wasn't the only one with knowledge on Medical Ninjutsu. She wondered what he thought about her body, how wrong it was... It made her feel something new she hadn't felt before, was this insecurity? Lena managed to sit up and pulled her knees close, not looking at the man, letting the rest of her body catch up with the healing process mostly done - it had to get used to having all this energy again. She looked back at him, his cold eyes were upon her, she hesitated.

"Thank you."

Lena slowly stands up and looks around at the bundles of activity. Zeri was already putting things into motion.

"We Fight, My plan was to be solely on the front line and the others would take out anyone who go passed from range. You can join me up there and back me up or help with the stragglers. If I get stuck I've got a designated squad that are to take out anyone trying to pin me, they may not be the best soldiers - but im trusting them. I'm... I'm trusting you to be able to help me protect the villagers. I know I don't need to watch over you as this happens. I'm sure you'll be helpful wherever your judgement decides to take you for this."

Lena believed she could let Smith make his own decisions for this upcoming battle, he had enough experience in combat and was tactically sound in making decisions. That she'd seen. And he also healed her, when he could've easily just let her be and if he was truly an enemy that would've been the best moment for him to strike her down. Lena went towards Zeri who was around the table, looking at the map. She looked down at it, it seemed to be moving around updating where people were. It didn't surprise her, she just went with it.

"Look."

Lena saw where Zeri had pointed, there seemed to be a conglomeration of footprints near the south-eastern area of Shinramoto. They were slow, more like an advance party of some sort. The mercenaries in Uraraha were right, they had approached and were making their move. It seemed Lena was correct in assuming they'd come in this direction - meaning she had the advantage. The threaded woman made her way to the soon to be battlefield, she'd escort Smith through the grass - careful not to trigger any traps she'd point them out to him.

"I'm going to stand in the open in front of everyone and in front of these covered trenches - these ones are in between the manned trenches, stop any quick advances on horses, shuts that shit down. You can see them if you look closely, but they shouldn't if they're rushing forward. In front of me there will be lines of tags and trip wires, though I don't expect they'll all be effective. We've built a lot of rock structures and wooden structures, the rock ones are disguised to look like rocks but they're actually manned watch towers. The wooden ones that obviously look like towers - some are manned and some are booby trapped with explosives."

Lena is quiet now, as the wind blows passed her. Most of the men had packed away tents, gotten rid of most evidence that there had been activity here. Grabbed their weapons, manned their trenches and were quiet. It got to the point where it was just Lena and Smith now. There was no one in sight yet, she looked towards the cliffside that they used to stand upon, no warning from up there yet. Lena raised her ringed hand and from it a figure grew into the shape of a woman from the signet of the ring. The figure dressed like a Jester with bells on the end of her hat and feet, a mask over her face, she carries decks of cards on her person ( ).

"Viola, I know you're angry at me, but I need you to go to Shinramoto and make sure Juliana and Alicia get out of there safely. Also just in case she doesn't know yet, go get Hawkeye."

Viola looked around, she looked at Smith and nodded at him before looking back at Lena, her eyes clearly making an angry expression as she ran passed her. Viola'd find the Horse Lena acquired and use it to go back to Mori.

Lena sighs and looks into the distance again, still no sign. Her white hair whips in the wind, covering her face slightly. She doesn't look at Smith, but addresses him.

"So you're a clone, you might not last. For when we meet in person, what's your actual name?"


(Kuchiyose : Zonbi) - Summoning : Zombies
Type: Offensive
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description:
From the very body of The Gravemind (Sprout the Gravemind Summon) it's flesh is in the control of a Rhizecephalia Parasitic type barnacle which manipulates the flesh to it's entirety, this is normally called a Kōzui. In this case these Kōzui are personal to the user and are seemingly trapped inside an ordinary sized Acorn Barnacle shells which are attached to the user's body, armor or some accessory they keep on their body due to the way Barnacles permanently attach to surfaces. The Shells are pretty small so can be attached to places like the underside of the tongue and the summon can seemingly grow out from the mouth or can act as the jewel on a ring that the user wears. The user channels chakra into the Shell on their person and the Kozui will pop out (like they are growing out from it) and have a humanoid shape, they can take the form of a Human if they so wish (As long as they have two legs and two arms and are around the same size as a person they can look as cosmetically wacky as the user's preference), a realistic transformation very similar to the Shadow Mirror Body Change Method with clothes and all. The "Zombie" can be spawned with a weapon each made of Calcite Shell, and can be any weapon the user desires - they're just an ordinary weapon. They can be summoned through ordinary summoning means if the user so wishes.

The Kōzui have a very strong resistance to ordinary weapons and taijutsu, anything powered with chakra would hurt the Rhizecephalia normally and being sliced in half with an ordinary blade would still cause the drawbacks of having no legs for example, however the Kōzui can still move and drag themselves with their hands. Kōzui can still feel pain and can break out of genjutsu through pain, however they cannot really be crippled by it (For example pain so severe it would paralyze them or stun them). Kōzui can perform B-Rank Ordinary Strong-Fist Taijutsu OR B-Rank Kenjutsu that the user knows (must be stated when summoned or in the user's bio which of the two they are allowed) and can use Legs of the Thoracica and Body of the Thoracica, and even be fused with the Organs of the Thoracica, the Kōzui also Wield Gadget Barnacles. The Restrictions of the Barnacle Arts when the Zombies use them apply to them separately as they are a singular entity with it's own abilities, their number of usages of an Art will not clash with the Users. Moreover, The Zombies can through the mental command of the signer use ONLY the Legs of the Thoracica and Body of the Thoracica from their Shell which they are trapped within until summoned that is on the User's person.

The Rhizecephalia act as travelling companions and last indefinitely on the field upon summoning, when they take C-Rank Ninjutsu Damage they will disperse from the battlefield back into their shells. They usually come in pairs, but each use of this Technique is a single separate Kozui and so the user can have up to two of these on their bio - each being different.

- Must have Signed Barnacle Summoning Contract
- The Zombies can communicate with the user in their shells, this is mainly cosmetic
- Can only have a Maxmimum of Two of these on ones bio and can only summon two per battle.
- Must be stated in the User's Bio to be capable of being used
- The user can have the Kōzui be taken back inside the acorn shells if in short range
- Can only be used 4 Times

Chakra : 1270 - 20

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
Save a large community from danger (5)
Defend against or attack another group ( 4 )

Summary: Smith a clone of Sado has found himself in the middle of a battle for the Tea Peninsula. It might not be for himself, but in the long run, it benefits his interests. If he can help save this community and help defend against the Black One's assault it will keep them busy while Sado is able to strategically amass his forces in the Badlands of Earth. Additionally by wounding the Black Ones and Takauji's pride he can keep them too focused on home to worry about politics abroad forcing them to drain their resources here instead of hiring various mercenaries and such. From what I know of Never's plan for this it's going to be a few posts. The first post of mine is just going to be me having my bio set up defenses for the attack he now knows is coming. I will calculate chakra next post.



Smith looked over to Lena, as she asked him his actual name. At this point, he thought she deserved at least that much. He already sent information back to Sado to keep him informed of everything that has happened here so far. He lowered his left hand sliding it into his pouch and pulled out a bounty he had saved away from right before he learned of Sado's plan actually working. He passed it to Lena, it had all the information about his creator a person could want and then some, even up to and including his "unknown" heritage.
It was all common knowledge by this point anyway so he wasn't sharing anything classified beyond the secret that Sado was actually still alive and masquerading as a dead man. It would let her be drawn into his plan partially and let her see into the depths of the plan as a whole. By this point, the story of Sado and his death had probably spread even this deep into the Tea Peninsula. The story about the demon who sold his soul falling at the hands of an angelic bounty hunter. You want to know who I am? This should tell you everything you want to know and more.

Issued By: Takauji Ashikaga
Name(s): Sado Yasutora
Orders: Defeat and incapacitation.
Wanted For: Formation of a rogue state that is unlawfully occupying territory that belongs to the Hangurian Freehold and its rightful heir Takauji Ashikaga.
Bounty: Defeating and incapacitating Sado Yasutora will be rewarded with 7,000 Ryo and 3,000 Kumi.
Special Info:

The following are details gathered by the Black One's Intelligence Division and are formally being declassified for issuance of these bounties. Sado, otherwise known as Howard, is a 24 year old male from an unspecified bloodline with peculiar abilities surrounding the use of Senjutsu. Sado stands at a towering 7'5" with rugged features. His most notable body feature is a tattoo on his left shoulder, which reads "Love and Death." It appears as a heart with a snake surrounded by angel wings. Sado is a Kage ranked combatant and is afforded additional enhancements due to his Senjutsu-heritage. He specializes in Lightning Release and, like his compatriot Vegeta, prefers close quarters combat and the utilization of Medical Ninjutsu.

Information and posters for this bounty is spread throughout the world; information for Sado's bounty is readily available for any individual in any landmark.

Rendezvous: You are to bring proof of Sado's defeat to one of the marketplaces. There a Black Ones representative will issue the appropriate payoff.
As he said that he walked off toward the edge of the field of combat. He scraped off a few flecks of dried blood calling fourth Salazzle back to his side in a quick manner. As he approached the edge of the defenses set up by Lena and her people he slammed his hands to the ground creating two large walls hollow on the inside and directly between Shinramoto and Takauji's lands.
Smith rise up two sections of the ground as it pushed him high into the air. He stood roughly sixty meters above the ground atop a hollow wall with another hollow wall in front of it. These dual walls spanned across the field cutting Shinramoto off from Takauji's lands. To anyone watching him, this may seem strange that he rose up two hollow sections of the wall but he had a plan for it as he quickly expelled a small oceans worth of water into both of the hollow walls. He lowered his left hand touching the surface of the water as the clear and clean water abruptly suffused with a brown ichor-like substance that was thick, dense, and sticky to the touch.
He quickly empowered the substance in unison to it's formation raising it's strength and power to make the naturally S rank earthen defense a combination crafting strong walls that would defend from even two Forbidden rank techniques in a row. These defenses were created in a few minutes as he stood high above the lands looking forward toward Takauji's lands. He left a large section of the wall open as a choke-point. He expected a large rushing mass of Black Ones. He wanted to pin them down and attack them alongside Salazzle. It seemed Lena was leaving him to his own devices. With Salazzle perched upon his shoulder now she spoke to him inside of his mind hidden away from everyone else. Her tone was playful and sultry as if trying to persuade Smith to call this all off and return with her to the land of the Salamander.

Oh, Sado-boy have you finally made your choice? You're going to join me back home right?

Boo, you're no fun today. It's that Lena girl, she's got you all inside your head.


Smith was silent as he didn't reply merely watching forward throughout the field he seemed to not feed into Salazzle's playful nature a bit more serious than usual. He performed a few hand seals and summoned a set of demonic gates in front of Shinramoto between the two massive sections of walls using the dried blood on his cloak for the summoning medium. This would create a strategic weak point to be attacked. The three gates were massive, but they weren't as strong as the surrounding walls and Smith knew this as it was by design.
He wanted the Black Ones to attack this strategic weak point and push through it causing them to gather into a group. It would make picking them off easier. He had a few new techniques and abilities that he wanted to test out. He fell silent as he sat down upon the wall. He took a pill regaining most of his chakra and began to meditate silently gathering up ten percent of his chakra converting it to senjutsu chakra. He slowly and deliberately did this monitoring the flow of natural energy that usually would overwhelm him in times like these.

He monitored his breathing as he waited continuing to gather natural energy while remaining in the lotus position. He wanted to help protect these people if he could. He wanted to build up a bond between his people and Lena's people and most of all he wanted to hurt Takauji Ashikaga in any way he could. He was driven by his Goliath nature his thirst for battle and war it was the first time in a while he had been in this kind of scenario.
He remembered back to all of the time he spent as a mercenary. He had absorbed strategy like it was second nature. It was one thing the humans did much better than the Goliaths he was raised by. They knew how to be smart, how to divert someone's attention and keep it there. He pondered about all of these memories. Then he remembered Lorelei. She was in the village of Mori. He really needed to protect her.

( Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Salazzle ) - Summoning Technique: Salazzle
Type: Summoning
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: Salazzle is a dark grey Fire salamander resembling a bipedal salamander. She has a thin dark grey body with a purple underside. Her head is dark grey with purple eyes and slit pupils reducing the amount of light that can enter into the eyes. There are several tooth-like protrusions on the lower jaw being vestigial teeth that can be released after biting something leaving sharp arrow like teeth behind. Salazzle's body has three pink markings, one on the chest, and the other two on the abdomen. Salazzle has a long, dark grey tail with a pink underside and two protrusions come out from the tail's base which can be used like hypodermic needles should a tail strike land allowing her to inject poison directly into an opponent's blood stream. She has hands and feet with five digits each similar to summons like Ma and Pa toad having a somewhat bipedal stance however when she moves she returns to all fours to move and run. She is roughly a meter long small enough to stand on a shoulder or cling to the body thus making travel easier.

She can move at twice the base speed of a Sage rank bio. Salazzle can use poison techniques releasing the poison from her vestigial fangs molding it with poison chakra and expelling it from the mouth allowing her to use any poison technique the user knows up to S rank. Or she can release poison techniques from her tail protuberances shooting the techniques outward or over her head.

Her poison is Samandarin a toxic substance produced by most Fire salamanders. It's effects are over-excitation of the muscles, restlessness, hypertension, rapid breathing, dilated pupils, muscle convulsions, respiratory paralysis, and eventually the poisoned person will faint. Once poisoned by this substance the first symptom is muscle convulsions and over-excitation of the muscles as well as restlessness causing the poisoned individual to twitch and stutter this happens the turn after the poison touched the skin. After two turns the lungs begin to shut down causing labored breathing causing the opponent to need to gasp taking deep breathes to merely obtain enough oxygen to breath as well as hypertension and rapid breathing. Finally after six turns of being poisoned the organs begin to shut down causing the poisoned individual to pass out, for the WSE this causes the individual's health to drop to zero. She is able to communicate with her summoner either verbally or mentally.
Note: Can only be summoned once lasting four turns

x2 (Doton: Daichidōkaku) - Earth Release: Great Moving Earth Core
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: This technique grants the user the ability to freely lower or raise the terrain within a specific area surrounding them, in a similar manner to its parent technique, albeit on a much larger scale. The user will slam his hands on the ground which he can then lower or raise the ground up to 100 meters in a large section. The rise will be fast enough to pin enemies to the ground, restricting their movements as they struggle to get up and the drop will be fast enough to leave almost all enemies without a footing (albeit not airborne). Because of the large chakra needed to alter such a large area of the terrain, the user will be able to use it only a limited number of times.
Note: Can only be used twice.

x2 (Suiton: Bakusui Shōha) - Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: The user performs the snake hand seal and creates a large volume of water from their mouth spilling it toward the ground and lifting them up into the air. The user can also ride the wave, allowing him to travel at high speeds and attacking the enemy. The user can create a small ocean worth of water even in barren conditions and can use the water for additional techniques.

x2 (Ekitai: Teiku o-ba) Oobleck Release: Take Over
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A rank ( S )
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 30 (+10 per 5 meters)
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user when in direct contact with water or earth will use their suiton or doton chakra to mold the water or earth, slowly turning the water or earth into oobleck. Once created the user can control the consistency of the oobleck hardening it slightly. If an opponent begins to sink into the oobleck it'll be hard to get out because as the opponent struggles to get out the oobleck takes on a solid property holding the opponent down. This source of oobleck can be used for other jutsu as well. However it can only support jutsu A rank and below
-Note: can only convert inanimate Earth or Water sources or B-Rank and below water techniques through contact.
-Note: the max size of the area converted is related to the users chakra input but can not transform the whole field or a large water source, following principles of reason and logic.

x2 (Ekitai: Baindo) Oobleck Release: Bind
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 30 (+5 to make it solid again)
Damage points: 60 (+10 to coated technique)
Description: The user molds a mixture of water chakra and earth chakra forming a mass of Oobleck, or manipulates an already existing source of Oobleck. If creating the source, he must perform the boar hand seal allowing him to form the source of Oobleck into projectiles, nets, waves, tools or weapons. If he's manipulating an already existing source he is able to merely use slight motions of the hands to form sources into the above mentioned items.
As he manipulates the Oobleck he coats it in chakra giving it shape and making it retain a form until the user decides to release the chakra coating at that point the Oobleck loses it's solid properties covering the opponent in a thick gooey liquid that can impede movement making the opponent slowed due to the excess weight of the Oobleck as well as it's sticky properties. This will half the opponent's speed as long as the oobleck remains on the opponent. The user can also manipulate the Oobleck to constrict the opponent hardening it to a point that it can hold a person in place indefinitely unless defended adequately. This is done by calling upon the chakra inside the oobleck causing it to increase the viscosity of the substance to the point where it's a solid by creating an internal force that acts upon the oobleck. The aforementioned process is the same one that keeps the oobleck solid until impact. If the opponent tries to struggle against the oobleck that force is enough to activate the properties of oobleck without the need of chakra manipulation.
The user is also able to coat objects, constructs, other techniques, and weapons in a thick layer of oobleck or feed oobleck itself into the molding and mixture of the technique itself. This layer holds all of the properties of oobleck and makes hits dealt with the coated object, construct, technique or weapon stronger, and more devastating. This is exactly like the (Ekitai: Yoroi) Oobleck Release: Armor technique but instead of creating an armor for the user it is created for one of aforementioned things. When solid, liquid, or semisolid techniques are coated with a layer of oobleck they stand up to force, stress and elements oobleck is strong to as if the coated technique is strong to the opposing technique. However this is true for the opposite as well, if this technique is used to reinforce a technique and oobleck is weak to the element it is clashing with it even if the technique this was used on is strong to it, it will be considered weak to said technique.
Weapons, objects and constructs coated in oobleck become larger with a visible oobleck enlargement such as a kunai being completely enshrouded with oobleck, while techniques only change color slightly to a dull brown and become physically larger in size.
Notes:
The user can only form four constructs with a use of the jutsu But the power will be devided evenly between the constructs
The reinforcing ability will require the use of the hand signal and happens in the same timeframe as the technique it's modifying
The reinforcing ability can be used on oobleck jutsu without the seal, as the user is just pumping more oobleck into the technique to make it larger, and stronger. This also has the added benefit of increasing the rank of the oobleck technique as it becomes a quick combo. This does not work on S rank or Forbidden techniques.
The reinforcing ability can only be used three times per battle

(Kuchiyose: Sanjū Rashōmon) - Summoning Technique: Triple Rashōmon
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary, Defence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: N/A
Description: This summoning is an upgrade of the standard Rashomon in which the user summons 3 of these demonic forms of the main gate of old Kyoto. Each gate has a specific duty: the first red gate takes the attack head-on, the second green gate reduces the power of the attack, and the third blue gate disperses the pressure.
Note: This technique can only block A rank and below.

( Fukanzen Sennin Modo ) - Imperfect Sage Mode
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: N/a
Chakra: N/A ( -10 turn to sustain )
Damage: N/A (Active +20 Damage to all Ninjutsu and Taijutsu up to S-Rank)
Description: An empowered state of body achieved by blending natural energy with one’s physical and spiritual energy. The mode heightens performance on all levels by adding a new dimension of power to the user’s chakra. The state is a direct result of Senjutsu chakra circulating through the body. To enter this form, a minimum of 10% of the user’s maximum chakra reserve must be moulded into Senjutsu chakra, all subsequent technique employ Senjutsu chakra until the minimum cost (-10/turn) cannot be paid to sustain the mode. The user is able to reduce 20 damage from damage for the duration of this technique. The user is able to passively sense chakra and his/her perception and reflexes are enhanced by x2. Their ninjutsu and strength increases, empowering taijutsu and other close range physical combat techniques by +20. Additionally, Genjutsu cast by the user are empowered requiring the opponent to use Genjutsu release, of one rank higher than what is normally required (Effective on Genjutsu up to B rank). Lastly, the user gains access to contract-specific anatomical features and other physical feats granted by Sage mode.
Note: Usable twice per battle . Must wait 2 turns before using this technique again. Perfect Sages can use either perfect or imperfect form thrice with a delay of 1 turn between modes.
Note: Imperfect Sages can convert a maximum of 30% of their total chakra reserve. Perfect Sages can convert a maximum of 40% of their total chakra reserve.

Lena looked at the man on the sheet of paper and couldn't help but let out a little laugh at his differing appearance, but also the fact he was hunted by Takauji all the same. Glad that he had failed to take out this man and that she had him on her side, this man was apart of a clan that could grow to rival Takauji, he was valuable. She wondered if she had a wanted poster yet, the clone walked off and she teased slightly,

"Oh look, he's Handsome."

Smith responded by creating earthen structures before her and the people of Shinramoto. Doton, an element she knew but rarely used - her earthen heart beat over the others. It was definitely something she needed to work on when it came to fighting, watching him set up these defences like this was admirable, it took him a couple of moments to do something like this and all she did before was create some earthen pillars. Pebbles compared to bricks. Lena looked towards the makeshift headquarters and saw Zeri waving towards her and giving her the thumbs up - though kinda stopped and looked in awe of the wall.

Looks like they were here. This wall should hold most of his forces off. She ran towards it and ran up the side of it until she got to the top, it was filled with something - it didn't look like water, not anymore. She walked around the edge of the wall, observing the Gates that bridges the gap between the two walls and created a tempting choke for Takauji's men to pummel through. A Trap. She got to the other side and looked out and saw them. Shinobi, Black Ones. Though she expected more, I guess they really did underestimate the farmers of Shinramoto, this'll be to their advantage. She spotted a group of horses, similar to the group that came to Shinramoto that day to tell them of their great leader - it was his group of elites, the ones who were doing all his dirty work around the Tea peninsula.

The Battle of Shinramoto - Wave 1

The man in charge of leading this fight looked up at the wall with a bored expression, he chewed on the air as he turned back to look at his men raring to strike and fight. Though they were in no rush, this was but an obstacle, if the threaded woman thought that this would stop them she was wrong. He turned back to look at the gates with a big smile. He needed a bit for information first, so his first wave would relay the information that he needed. He lazily flicked his hand forward, but it was enough. Activity stirred from nothing to an uproar as men shouted and feet rushed, Ninjutsu was heard and any sensor would be drawn to this area in this instant.

Lena watched as men ran forwards towards the walls, they didn't diverge to the Gates, seemed they were intent to getting up and over. This made her curious however, she wondered where the militia she saw in Degarashi Port were - to her it seemed as though they were only sending shinobi at them. They ran up the side of the earth wall, weapons in hand, chakra flaring up, she saw clones being made as she looked downwards, they did they same on Smith's side, charging towards him. They had a wall to defend each. Lena's hands went to her sides, with each finger she slides cards out of their holsters into her palms, using her sleight of the hand she holds four cards in each and brings them up to her face, thumb and index bending the metal cards until a little release of pressure releases them from the air, they flutter and flap around and then she takes control of them. Her passive ability to manipulate her cards, float around her head. She crossed her arms over and kept them their for a moment, her mental command and arm gestures spiked as she spiked downwards releasing the wave of cards towards her oncoming enemy. Some hit their targets, causing the enemies to fall from the wall they ran upon - most of them were dodged, deflected or defended against with sheer force. This didn't stop her however, she commanded more cards to jump out of their holsters and used her arms to guide them towards the Shinobi that got closer and closer, she started to manage to hit more of them as they grew closer giving them less of a window to be able to counter. However due to the sheer volume of Shinobi that ran up the wall they could easily break through, one to her far right had got to her level, jumping onto the flat of the wall, she shoots a card in his direction and it hits just after he lands, burying the metal into his chest and sending his corpse back off the wall. Though because of that the rest managed to get to her too, bring her concentration back to directly below her she kicks at the Shinobi's head who is directly below, it snaps to the side and sends him spinning back towards the ground. Another tries to do a fancy spinning attack as he jumps up from the side of the wall in an attempt to take her head off, she ducks in response and reaches out to grab his arm with both her hands, she spins around bring the enemy around and forces him to collide with another that was coming up behind her, both go crashing down into the sticky ichor that was within the hollow walls, they both panic and get stuck and die slowly. Though with them dealt with there were still more, Lena manages to disarm and reacquires a sword, cutting down the man bringing the sword back to stab behind her without looking taking out another which happened to be a clone, it poofs out of existence. This made her think about Smith, how he was doing.

She was locked in combat with a particularly skilled sword fighter, their blades clashed multiple times and then they split apart. Getting distance, why? A yellow flash was seen in the corner of her eye as fire approached from the left. Lena spins around, dark chakra channelled through her blade she skilfully spins the sword and absorbs the fireball and the second, the dark aura ripples as the swordsman tries to attack her again, using the fireballs as the distraction now - but it wouldn't work. Lena intercepts the first sword strike and then shatters his blade as the her's explodes into a blue fiery attack, the arc of fire engulfs the skilled swordsman and sets him alight quickly.

"Shame."

(Meiton : Kyūnyū gurin) - Dark Release : Inhaling Grin
Type: Defensive / Offensive
Rank: B (A)
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20 (-10 per turn)(-40 to enemy per hit)
Damage Points: 40 (60)
Description:
The user activates their dark mark whilst holding a Close Combat Weapon, usually a sword (alternatives like spears and axes can be used); the blade of the sword goes a very dark purple as it radiates with Dark Chakra and then becomes self sustaining. The user can then use their blade to slash through oncoming elements or when clashing with another weapon absorb elements channeled through the blade (according to strengths and weaknesses) to absorb the spiritual and physical energies of it, this is essentially the Swordmaster's Inhaling Maw alternative except if the blade also makes contact with the opponent it saps some of his chakra directly like (Meiton: Dassui Fureru) Dark Release: Draining Touch. When the chakra is absorbed by the blade it is channelled straight into the user's palms so that Dark release techniques can be used, the blade will be ready to be used once again.

A-Rank : After absorbing a jutsu the user can throw it back straight after absorption, The Dark radiating through the blade will be immediately converted into blue flames after absorption expelled as a wave of Blue flames in the shape of a crescent setting anything it touches alight. Since Dark release amplifies the chakra absorbed the Blue flames will be more powerful as usual. This has a two turn cooldown.

- Dark Coating around Blade lasts for 5 turns unless chakra is absorbed through it, then the cooldown will reset.
- Has the same absorption power as B-Rank Inhaling Maw
- Can only be taught by LonelyAssassin

Her little jest was cut short, her arm is grabbed and then the elbow is forced the other way - well tried to force it the other way much to his failure once he did, it didn't really hurt her. They'd now see how she was truly made, and the monster she was. Her pinned arm would erupt into a mass amount of threads that wrapped around each other building up as they formed a giant ever animated black mutated looking arm, the one who had grabbed it was wrapped within the arm now, counter-pinned. Lena performs a back-fist manoeuvre, slamming her arm into a couple other, taking them out before using her sword again in her other hand to cut down one more. Her massive arm is brought over her head and she crushes a man into the floor. Her threads are manipulated again and it releases a mask from her back. They were overrunning the wall and attacking the strange liquid or trying to get across - she needed to squelch the pressing force before they got over.

The Mask of threads floated into the air and made it's way across the length of the wall, as it did so it fired out are burst of fire, drowning it's victims on the edge of the wall with the soaring hot flames. Even if some managed to defend the mask would have moved passed to set alight the rest of the wall with the flamethrower it had created. This melted to top of the wall and turned it into molten rock that leaked down the side of the wall and narrowed down their approach. It also stopped anyone who tried to cross the ichor with ninjutsu and incinerated them. Lena's arms returns to normal setting the shinobi trapped in it free, through she give him a card embedded into his chest as a parting gift before sending him plummeting to his death below. Before she continued her defence the very ground beneath her rumbled, causing her to almost fall over, and others around her to stop attacking. The thud and quake happened again. She punched a distracted shinobi in the face causing him to topple into the liquid beside her and ran passed him towards the Rashamon Gates.

Rank: C-S Rank
Type: Attack/Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15-40
Damage Points: 30-80
Description: The basic technique of Kakuzu's unique Kinjutsu Earth Grudge Fear it allows the user to manipulate the threads that compose his body freely with each use. The user can not only alter his own body form and structure but also use the threads to attack or defend from incoming techniques. As Kakuzu's skin is still stitched to keep his humanoid form when not used, he can take advantage of this technique to propel his hands or limbs at great distances and grab a target. Its also this technique that allows Kakuzu to detach his masks from his own body to form the "animals" which he uses in combat.

Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: The user does one handseal and inhales while molding a great amount of chakra into their lungs and expelling a large stream of flames from their mouth. The user has control over the concentration of the technique, being able to produce a narrow jet of flames, highly concentrated or one that will widen along its range. The flames are hot enough to quickly evaporate large quantities of water within a relatively short amount of time.

Lena looked down, she saw a Line of Giant Animals, looking like bears. Looked as though they had brought the Summoners from Degarashi Port, but not the militia. Maybe they wanted this done quickly with their strongest shinobi. She was confused. But it was a sound tactic for now. The Bear used it's giant beefy arm and punched the Gate yet again, sending the quake rippling through the wall and the sticky liquid and then with it's other arm again but this time the Gate burst open. Upon each of the bear's shoulders were Black Ones as they slowly stomped into the Valley below, their Large bears walking through towards the second Gate.

"SMITH! THEY'RE STROLLING THRO...!!"

Lena is Cut off suddenly as she's kicked in the back of the knee, it was very strong, sending her stumbling to her knees - enhanced taijutsu? She feels a fist in her back, her body ripples and sends her flying off the edge of the wall towards the inside of the valley towards the Bears. Though she quickly extends her arm back towards where she was punched from and manipulates her threads to shoot her hand at the taijutsu user who punched her off the edge, her hand latches onto his face and her tries to peel the hand off but the grip is good. She uses this to swing down the side of the wall, around the corner and back up, letting go when she reaches a suitable height and her arm retracts. Lena lands on the wall behind the Taijutsu user with a couple others between him and her. At the same time as she did this, Lena released her Typhoon heart which flew towards the middle of the valley and stayed high in the air near the furthest gate. The Bears reached the middle and the front one began to punch the crap out of it, causing more quakes. Lena continued to fight the Shinobi with her Fire mask doing clean up.

The Battle of Shinramoto - Wave 1


(Fūinjutsu: Kyōshin) – Sealing Technique: Resonance
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A (+400 Maximum)
Damage: N/A
Description: Resonance is a unique application of Fūinjutsu created for those who possess multiple individualistic personalities; each with its own very unique set of beliefs, memories, emotions, and attributes. In its purest essence this sealing technique brings to life one’s own multiple personalities by enabling a form of organization and structure. A personality is generally defined as the individual characteristics which defines one; their memories, beliefs, ideas, personal skills, mannerisms, and habits. It has been shown throughout the series that various forms of Ninja Arts are capable of controlling, manipulating, transferring, and even changing memories. It has also been shown that chakra, Fūinjutsu, emotion, and memory all play intimately and are connected with one another. The most striking example of this is Minato Namikaze’s use of his chakra to seal his own personality within Naruto when he sealed the Nine Tails; this is at times called a ‘consciousness imprint.’ Karin Uzumaki noted that chakra carries the ability to reflect emotion and personality; she described Naruto’s chakra as warm while Sasuke’s was cold. There also exist techniques such as the Loss of Memory Technique which allows the user to block memory sets with their chakra. Fūinjutsu is also capable of sealing metaphysical phenomena such as chakra, souls, memories, and even emotions. With this in mind it is reasonable to extend the ability to seal entire personalities away into a vessel. Thus, Resonance is a seal which seals the users multiple personalities. It grants structure to chaos within one’s own mind; organization to a torrential storm of personalities, emotions, and beliefs.

Resonance is applied to one’s own personality; as such the seal must be stated in the user’s personality section of their biography. Resonance can seal up to seven individual personalities. These personalities are listed within the user’s biography. Each must have characteristics which are distinct from one another. For example, one personality can have a tendency toward violence and bloodshed while another can be prone to kindness. The user is granted great versatility with the customization of each personality, each being a cosmetic choice. Personalities can be named differently and even possess different perceived genders. This means that while the body’s physiological gender will remain static the personality can operate differently to the body; essentially the personality believes it is the opposite gender to the body. Personalities can also have distinct memories, skills, emotions, motivations, thought patterns, movement patterns, and mannerisms. The possibilities are nearly limitless in regards to defining traits of a separate personality. Personalities can also be structured into hierarchies with one typically dominant over the others; although this is largely a cosmetic feature. The inner workings of the seal itself are simple. The seal treats the user’s own body as the vessel for the sealed personalities. All of the user’s personalities are sealed by Resonance, including the original personality along with a portion of the user’s chakra before the seal is performed. Each personality, now sealed by Resonance, will be able to communicate with each other in an environment granted structure. This environment is much like Minato and Kushina’s communications with Naruto. Each happened within his imagination and mind allowing for numerous forms to be created. The user is able to shape the environment to take the appearance of anything the user so desires and all occurs within his or her mind. While sealed the personalities will be able to communicate with each other and watch each other, much like how Minato’s consciousness imprint was able to watch Naruto’s growth and development throughout his life. In terms of usage the seal possesses two release states. They are as followed:

Partial Release; The first state is a partial release state which is performed passively. Through this method the seal will be partially opened allowing for the fluid transitioning between separate personalities. It offers no true combat benefits and is purely a cosmetic ability which is inherent to the biography that Resonance is used on.

Full Release; The second state is a full release state which is performed at the cost of a move, but instantaneously, exempt or within the same timeframe. This second application is the combat-favored variant allowing for numerous benefits associated with the release of the user’s personalities. This state can be used for as many personalities as the user possesses, up to seven. As previously mentioned each personality is fully sealed with a portion of the user’s chakra, each laced with the personality’s essence of existence. Between all seven potentially sealed personalities a maximum of 400 chakra can be stored in Resonance. This chakra is split between each personality; each personality requiring a minimum of 50 chakra stored. The amount of chakra stored per personality is stated within the user’s biography in the personality section. When fully released the chakra will flow from the vessel of the user’s body back into his or her chakra network along with the personality; this effectively creates a full body surge equivalent to the quantity of chakra released. In addition to this the user will experience a refreshing surge of energy as their body is replenished and a personality is released; this is largely a cosmetic feature but can numb relatively moderate levels of pain and grant clarity to the mind.
First was a long drawn out exhale from Smith, almost sigh-like in nature as he realized his enemies were already approaching. He wanted a moment to gather his chakra, a moment to gather his thoughts and a moment to prepare his soul for what he had to do. He had none of that just a few brief seconds of calm before a raging and brutal metaphorical storm was amassed to tear through any moment of calm he could have hoped for. His eyes flashed open in a rapid burst as he shook his head lightly in a left to right motion causing his hair to sway.
The soft nature was replaced by something else. Something sadistic and broken, there was a gleam and a spark in his eyes that showed he was a different person. Gone was the kind, gentle, and honest man. In his stead, a battle-hardened beast, with a knife-like grin etched up the right side of his face. The wry smile turned into more than that a devious sardonic dagger of hatred and indifference cutting through the tension of the battlefield like a drum of war calling out for himself.

Salazzle noticed it and commented upon it in a sulty voice almost as if trying to seduced him.

Ohhhhhhh you're going to show them that? I thought it was only for my eyes.

I've missed that look. What should I do?


Smith stood up using his left hand to dust his shoulders off as he assessed the situation deductively and with a feral instinct. Actively he had switched his personalities shelving the primary personality, for now, to allow him the callous indifference he needed to do what came next. He freed his secondary personality from its bonds and with it came a boon of chakra and energy that was pleasant in nature, almost pleasurable like a drug or a shot of adrenaline and endorphins. He glanced out over the gathering of shinobi and various summoning creatures that polluted the field like a plague.
Bad idea. He thought, they didn't know it, and neither did Lena but he had something for those summoning creatures. Something that would send them cowering back to their homes full of fear and regret for even daring step before him and Shinramoto. In a bolt of speed a barrage of shinobi tried to scale his wall he looked down at them with cold insouciance as he laughed half-heartedly just a single "Ha" of amusement. The smile deepened further as he began to form a set of hand seals. His hands began to glow with a deep orange aura as he told Salazzle what to do.

Fire from the sky. Now.

Salazzle replied with a coy tone and a laugh.

I like when you're forceful. Not even Ibuse has the gall to order me around.

But for you, anything.


Smith's hands were rapidly being coated and surrounded in a strange viscous substance as in unison Salazzle looked to the sky tearing open a rift high in the sky above the advancing shinobi stomping her foot lightly upon Smith's shoulder. From the rift spilled forth a large amount of a strange crimson-red substance as Salazzle continued by using her five-digit hands to perform two hand seals. Inside of the strange bright red oil-like substance, an immeasurable amount of sharp weapons and explosive tags were summoned as she held onto Smith's head using his body to stabilize herself. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
Like a pyrotechnics show, small flashes of light and fire could be seen within the twenty-meter column of liquid as it rushed downward like a sloshing mass of blood-red liquid. In the same timeframe as it's summoning the explosive tags began to ignite creating a showy display of light and fire as each small tag created a cumulative effect catching the flammable poison alight. The entire column immediately was lit ablaze as it raced toward the ground at terminal velocity coating numerous shinobi in a thick dense napalm-like substance. It clung to their bodies burning intensely as the fire burned away the first, second and third layers of flesh while in unison the poison began to work upon the body causing intense blisters. The poison had enough force to slam numerous shinobi back down to the ground tossing them upwards of ten meters with a strong and vigiorous explosive force as the fire burned them profusely head to toe melting their clothes, armor, and flesh. If it worked as planned numerous wails and screams would be heard as the uprepared shinobi were left in flames covered in a substance that wouldn't be put out regularly and would just burn and burn and burn until there was no longer any fuel for it to feed upon.
During this Smith threw his hands forward as he released an immense amount of fire from his mouth creating a large sprawling jet of flame outward coating the ground directly below the wall with the fire and liquid poison that was exactly like the previous technique burning constantly and brightly like an oil or grease fire. The fire would cling to the ground causing numerous individuals to burn alive while also attacking the summoning creatures directly with a repugnant flame that burned a sickly orange-black color fueled and intensified by the sheer amount of flammable poison thrown into the technique. It increased the power immensely to a whole new level. What would usually be an S rank would be stronger than a forbidden rank. The natural energy coursing around Smith empowered everything he did even further than that.

(Kuchiyose/Dokuton: Sutikusu kawa) - Summoning/Poison Release: River Styx
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: The user slams their hands upon the ground or stomps their foot causing a summoning rift to open at least 5m above their target. From this rift flows a rushing column of volatile, hot, bubbling red poison able to extend up to twenty meters in height. The torrential column has a short range radius and has enough force to throw an object 10m away scalding it profusely causing second to third-degree burns to a human or a creature. The reason this poison is hot and volatile in nature is it is based upon the compound tert-butyllithium a pyrophoric substance meaning that it easily catches fire on exposure to air. However, due to the diluted nature of the substance being mixed with additional poisonous substances and dokuton chakra, it is slightly more stable needing a trigger to catch fire making it predictable enough for the user to supplement and attack with.

This poison can be liquid or gas and in either form is extremely flammable being able to be set off by fire, lightning or even explosive tags and makes for a fairly useful opener to combo into with this technique creating a 20m high column of fire and poison if set ablaze. The user is able to open multiple rifts at different angles aiming them in different directions or towards different things but the power is always shared between them with the total potential being split.

By adding an additional two hand seals to the technique the user is able to summon massive amounts of weapons alongside the poison inside of it with the potential to slash and cut the targets altering the damage and allowing for additional combinations to be used. The poison has very little bodily effects it only has the potential to cause blisters and third-degree burns on any skin touched and it can cause respiratory problems restricting the use of ninjutsu that requires being breathed or spit out. Additionally, it can be substituted for Med Toxin or the users own custom poison but will still have a flammable nature to it.

Notes:
~Only one to three portals can be created and the poison that escapes can be used as a source
~Can only be used twice per battle once per turn with one turn cool down
~The user cannot use any other S rank poison release techniques in the same turn
~Can only be taught by Pyro NB
(Katon: Gōka Messhitsu) - Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80 ( +20 ) = 100
Description: A technique where chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire, and then expelled from the mouth in a massive stream of intense flames, after doing the Rat → Ox → Dog → Horse → Monkey → Boar → Tiger hand seals. The technique has an enourmous range and can cover a huge area. When it was used by Madara Uchiha, the massive scale of the technique was such that, in comparisson, his incomplete Susanoo seemed small. The main advantage of the technique is that it can be used to burn large areas in an effect in everything similar to a flamethrower.
(Dokuton: Ikari) - Poison Ninjutsu: The Fury
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 40 ( 10 per turn to maintain )
Damage: 80
Description: The Fury is a highly flammable and ignitable liquid poison that works similar to a nerve agent. It causes blisters upon the skin and burning of the eyes and lungs and causes symptoms similar to third degree burns upon any flesh it touches. It can be used by creating a torrent of liquid poison from the hand through a palm strike or it can be administered through a direct finger jab by being used to clad the hand in a liquid shroud of poison. This is partially inspired by (Raiton: Raikiri) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blade and (Dokuton: Kurote no Jutsu) - Poison Release: Black Hand Skill. However it's real usability comes in when used alongside a fire technique as it is flammable and works like a fuel source similar to oil or another combustible liquid when ignited.
It can be used in the same timeframe as an A rank fire technique or below to raise a fire technique's rank or alongside an S rank but only grants it 10 additional damage. The user is able to clad both of their hands in poison and create two blade-like constructs similar to what can be done with water release or they can clad a single hand in the poison either way they are able to constantly feed poison into the construct in a similar way as to how Lightning Blade can be used. It can be used offensively to attack or defend augmenting taijutsu usage allowing the user to create slashing, piercing or blunt damage but due to needing constant dokuton chakra to sustain it the user is only able to use poison techniques while they extend it's usage.
Note: Can only be used two times per battle and can last four turns at maximum
Note: Can only be used alongside fire techniques twice and can't be sustained if done
While the fire and poison raged onward threatening to engulf everyone and everything in a wave of death and ash two shinobi climbing the wall tried to toss a wind and water combination technique at the fire. They saw the fire and assumed water would put it out and in a regular circumstance they'd be right. Smith was glad to see them try this as his eyebrows furrowed down into two sharp angular arrows. He knew the water would have little effect on the poison as it was a high-level combination with napalm-like effects. The sheer volume of the fire and poison would be just too much as the large torrential typhoon struck against the monumental wall of fire and poison the fire sparked outward and sloshed around in the same way a grease fire would react to water being thrown on it.
The water put out some of the fire but a large portion of the poison converted to gas due to the sheer amount of fire and poison acting together in unison. The water was eventually overwhelmed by the poison and fire combination as well as the summoning and poison technique. The remaining gas began to shift and flow down toward the ground as something strange began to happen the gas remained on the opposite side of the wall away from the people of Shinramoto who Smith knew were waiting behind the massive wall he created. Finally, various summons began to disperse in tandem to being poisoned as the Black Ones and their shinobi would see the horror building in their eyes.
Only the two who had acted fast made it past this first onslaught by Smith and Salazzle. As each made their way up the wall a large amount of the summons had already reverse summoned with more following in a quick retreat. Because of this, they left numerous soldiers and shinobi alone on the battlefield who would normally rely on these creatures to fight for them. A shinobi who was riding a bear toward the wall was hit by the strange gaseous substance and as the bear vanished he slammed upon the ground breaking his arm screaming out in pain and terror. Smith was laughing lightly at this point as he looked over to Lena who yelled out to him in distress snapping him from the moment of enjoyment.

(Suiton: Gufuu Suika) - Water Style: Typhoon Water Vortex

"SMITH! THEY'RE STROLLING THRO...!!"
What was she talking about? His side was all but clear? Shinobi and Black Ones alike were covered in napalm screaming and shouting for medical aid with a good portion of the animals reverse summoning out of sheer terror and dismay. More and more of the summoning creatures were vanishing due to the sheer fear caused by the Shadow of the Bat and a lot of the shinobi or Black Ones who had been poisoned were having a similar reaction screaming and yelling in terror. Smith believed he was in control of the field.
That was until he gazed over at her and he saw what was happening at least what he assumed was happening. He was lost to his secondary personality by this point and he saw that she was holding back on the field of battle. For a Goliath that action was an insult to both their honor and pride. He thought that she didn't want to hurt these people and that was allowing her to become overwhelmed right now.
That was getting her hurt, eventually, it would get her people hurt. If she didn't make that choice to stand and be free, she'd always be a captive to her morality to her human nature. He felt that she needed to stand up and fight, she needed to decide that her life and her people's lives were worth more than these shinobi.

KILL THEM! Stop feeling bad for them and murder them all indiscriminately.

They're going to do the same to you and your people!

This is your chance to show your worth to your people! Do what's needed.


Smith spoke with a tone that denoted no empathy, and no sympathy toward these shinobi or the Black Ones. With the way, he spoke it would seem like he didn't even see the shinobi and Black Ones as real people merely corpses in the making. This was his Goliath upbringing speaking, he was taught that anyone who didn't have a use didn't have a place in the tribe. Anyone who couldn't pull their weight was culled or exiled. He fought this every minute of every day when he was a child to prove that he was worth his place in the tribe. It made it so that he expected that from others. They needed to prove that they had a use and that they were needed or seek the cold fate of a blade in battle.
Sado and by extension Smith would rather die than be useless. Then as he noticed the two remaining shinobi race up the wall and stand atop it with him he tossed something toward them while still looking at Lena. They were coughing and covered in a few blisters but had somehow managed to avoid the gargantuan flame and poison combination and remain alive. They stood victorious atop his wall, on his level. That was until what came after.
The two shinobi looked at one another as they formed a plan to attack this man in front of them. One pulled a sword and the other slammed his fists together like they were about to enter into combat with him. This was right before the object he tossed up and over his shoulder detonated between them releasing multiple waves of a strange gaseous substance. Smith was roughly mid range from them standing near the gate looking over it at Lena as the grenade was tossed behind him somewhat lazily-... BOOM!
The grenade detonated as a wave of gaseous poison formed and exploded in tandem with it's detonation. It tore the shinobi apart splattering blood across the wall and the back of Smith but he didn't look at them or their death. Salazzle looked over his head at the field of battle then back to Lena surveying the field in case Smith needed her to act she waited for Smith's order to help this woman.
The order to help never came as the orange-hued gaseous poison began to seep outward behind him down the wall and toward any other advancing shinobi causing them to cough uncontrollably and begin seeing vivid and surreal hallucinations. It was unlike the man she would have had the chance to see before. He killed without thought, he was vicious and callous and murderous in a very sadistic manner.

( Jigoku Hanran ) - Hellish Rebuke
Type: Tool
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60 ( if generic and used as grenades )
Description: An alternative to the Kote this tool is a type of ammunition clip compatible with any other gun or sentry. It comes in the form of several canisters that allow them to hold various samples of the user's poisons or for a more advanced usage a singular poison technique. How this is used is similar to the Kote itself the user throws the canister and upon detonation it releases the mass of stored poison and a catalyst of stored dokuton chakra to release the technique itself from the canister without any outside usage of the user beyond throwing it. What differentiates this from a Kote is the limited nature it has, only being able to store a poison technique and no other type of technique meaning to make up for this the user is able to store up to a single S rank poison technique inside one of their grenades, causing it to burst open on contact to release it. This can only be done once per battle, costs a move but can be done alongside another technique if logical. However, using Hellish Rebuke to release the technique is passive thus not doubling up on move-slot usage.

When used as an ammunition clip the user merely connects the canister to the gun, or projectile based weapon and that weapon can then fire Poison Jutsu Bullets instead of their standard ammunition. This has the effect of upping the damage of whatever weapon it is augmenting due to the additional surge of dokuton chakra through the weapon allowing it to work as a conduit for the poison. For example if a gun fires off Fire Jutsu Bullets instead it will fire empowered Poison Jutsu Bullets instead with what the gun's normal damage being increased by 20 passive damage. This supply of dokuton chakra and poison lasts three turns, and can only be used twice as a clip for a maximum of six turns of empowered ammunition. Alternatively as mentioned they can be used as grenades releasing generic poison to attack this can be gaseous med toxin, or any variety of custom poison. This can only be done twice per battle and costs a move.
Note: Using it as a clip is passive and just takes the user connecting it to their weapon to use
Salazzle asked for her orders.

Should I-...

However, Smith spoke with a somewhat barbarous tone.

No. She needs to do it herself.

(Batto no kage) - Shadow of the Bat
Creator: Howard
Type: Neurological, Muscular, Respiratory
Ingredients and Background: Fear can have crippling effects on a person, it can leave them frozen unable to move, think or act. It can force them to see things, hear things, feel things that just aren't there. Anxiety, paranoia, and panic can force a person to waver or to simply give up, the poison itself revolves around the ability to weaponize fear in people. Shadow of the Bat is a poison that creates the emotional response of fear for those exposed to it. It forces them to see, smell, hear, feel, and taste their deepest darkest fear in great detail and at times to a crippling extent. A lot like the application of Killing Intent but physically so done through poison not chakra. Most of the ingredients manipulate the brain and the mind through something more tangible than genjutsu more deadly and more real causing it to create and send synapses. Some even force the brain to produce chemicals forcefully and without mental consent from the poisoned individual like dopamine.

Shadow of the Bat is a deep smokey orange poison that comes in two forms an orange liquid and an orange gas surrounded in a smokey black aura-like outline. While in it's liquid form it has two constituencies dense and sticky like tar, or light and watery like water. The first consistency is sticky to the touch and will stick to anything it comes into contact with for long periods of time drying out slowly and hardening. When in contact with the skin it breaks down the lipid bilayer passing right on through and entering the blood stream and then bypassing the blood brain barrier for fast and rapid effects. While in it's gaseous state it has a slightly earthy smell like petrichor due to the herbs found in the poison, when inhaled it has an almost cinnamon-like taste if ingested while liquid it has this same taste but no discernible smell. It's base is Dihydroxyphenylalanine an amino acid that is made and used as part of the normal biology of humans it is the precursor to Dopamine in the brain, Carbogen a mixture of thirty percent Carbon Dioxide and seventy percent oxygen, Corticotropin a peptide hormone and a neurotransmitter, Deadly Nightshade (Atropa Belladonna), Conium (aka Hemlock) both ground into a fine syrup, and Irukandji venom. All ingredients that induce; fear, anxiety, paranoia, panic and straight up terror. Each do this in their own way and have specific effects that end up compounding together to create the over all reaction that the poison causes.

Howard is immune to these effects and the poison itself and due to the oxygen found in it he can breathe it as if it were normal air, and even drink it in it's liquid form if he so desires. It is applied to all of his ninja tools and weapons as well as in a small vial around his neck for poison jutsu usage as well as being sealed in his Medical Summoning Scroll. This poison can also be applied to the fingernails to augment taijutsu usage through fingerjabs and the like and teeth for more animalistic applications akin to the injection abilities of a snake through bites.

Description of Effects:

First the hallucinogens Dihydroxyphenylalanine which also allows the body to produce extra dopamine, Atropa belladonna, and Hemlock. These three together create very vivid and very surreal hallucinations as soon as they become active on the opponent. They induce a mental reaction wherein the brain itself brings out it's most base, deepest, darkest fear bringing it to life through various hallucinations with aspects of visual, auditory, and even smell and taste stimuli. The brain creates these sensations by stimulating the parts of the brain related to these sensations. These hallucinations can easily be mistaken for genjutsu as they have a similar application and even seem to be in a similar vein as it but isn't a genjutsu. The hallucinations will seem real, the opponent will be able to, see, smell, hear and taste the object if the situation arises. They can actively interact with the opponent but aren't tangible in the sense that they have physical substance. This can make distinguishing reality nearly impossible making it difficult to fight. To anyone seeing the poisoned person react to these sensations they would merely seem crazy or delusional. These can range from small changes to what the poisoned individual sees to extreme world altering changes.

Inhalation, Consumption or Injection: The hallucinations begin immediately after inhalation, consumption or injection beginning in the same turn.
Skin contact or a wound: The hallucinations are slightly slower starting one turn after being poisoned in this manner.

Next the fear creators, Carbogen, Irukandji venom, and Corticotropin Corticotropin is a peptide hormone and neurotransmitter involved in the stress response. In such a high dose it creates an intense stress on the body making the body feel as if it were under severe physical and mental stress. Carbogen makes them feel as if they are suffocating unable to breathe which along with the Dihydroxyphenylalanine which becomes dopamine once the poison passes the blood brain barrier, floods the brain with dopamine usually dopamine makes you feel confident and happy but if it seeps into the wrong part of your brain, dopamine will arouse feelings of terror and dread. This is what happens, the brain is overtaken by this forced production of chemicals and the body responds with intense fear, fear that makes thinking harder and slows down the natural thought process. Irukandju venom just straight up creates feelings of dread and impending doom putting the effected person in a state similar to Killing Intent making rational thought impossible halving their reaction speed and making movement harder. When a summoning creature is exposed to the poison be they the wielders own creatures or an opponent's it makes them see their natural predator swarming around them much larger than they are and intimidating them excessively forcing the summoning creature to reverse summon or disperse.

Along with this intense fear the carbogen forces the poisoned being to feel as if they are always suffocating no matter what they do or how they react even mind clearing jutsu can't overcome this. This is an innate reaction that cannot be overcome no matter how hard the opponent tries to focus or look past it this is because when carbogen is inhaled, the increased level of carbon dioxide causes a perception, both psychological and physiological, of suffocation. The brain itself interprets an increase in blood carbon dioxide as a decrease in oxygen level, which would generally be the case under natural circumstances. Inhalation of carbogen causes the body to react as if it were not receiving sufficient oxygen: breathing quickens and deepens, heart rate increases, and cells release alkaline buffering agents to remove carbonic acid from the bloodstream as stated this is an innate bodily reaction something that can't be bypassed with thought, or any form of breathing exercises. The only way to bypass this is either a transfusion or nullifying and curing the poison and it's effects. This can also be done by removing the poison through normal means and nullifying the remainder. Additionally, normal shinobi are able to stop the spread of the poison by removing the afflicted limb/body part before the poison is able to spread, this won't apply if they inhale it nor if the wound isn't superficial on a limb or body part that cannot be removed. Nearly bleeding out and taking a Blood Replenishing Pill can have a similar effect as to a transfusion stopping this symptom but if exposed to the carbogen again the process just begins again.

Inhalation, Consumption or Injection: Fear is created immediately after inhalation, consumption or injection beginning in the same turn. This halves human reaction speeds due to the stress, anxiety, fear and panic that can at times feel crippling. If a summoning creature is exposed to the poison when the effects set in the intense fear forces them to reverse summon or disperse.
Skin contact or a wound: Fear sets in one turn after being poisoned in this manner it then halves human reaction speeds. For summoning creatures as soon as the fear sets in they reverse summon or disperse back to their homeland.

Finally the paralytics the Hemlock and Belladonna force the muscles to tense up becoming partially paralyzed. This eventually forces the muscle to begin to lock up completely which reduces the opponents speed halving it and limiting their reactions and tracking speed significantly. If undefended or not healed and nullified properly the untreated poison causes the person to become completely paralyzed unable to move their body locked in place as their muscles will not respond to the signals being sent to them. This eventually causes death due to the body being unable to inflate the lungs or move the diaphragm and bring oxygen into the body instigating physical suffocation and asphyxiation.

Inhalation, Consumption or Injection: Partial paralysis and muscle numbness begins immediately after inhalation, consumption or injection beginning in the same turn but doesn't cause any outward problems yet merely spreading from the point of contact. On the following turn the opponent's speed is halved as their muscles begin to lock up becoming unresponsive making movement harder and needing forceful action to move. Complete paralysis takes effect after two turns of not being treated (this means two turns after the poisoned person's speed is halved, the turn when speed is halved is counted as the first then there's a another turn where nothing new happens symptom wise) and leaves the opponent unable to move with a running speed of zero unable to perform hand seals, move their mouth, or lungs. This eventually ends in death by asphyxiation after three turns of being unable to breathe the only way to prolong a life past this point is Chakra CPR or nullifying the poison completely.
Skin contact or a wound: Everything is shifted one turn later. Partial paralysis begins the turn following being poisoned. Speed is halved the following turn as muscles begin to lock up becoming unresponsive. Complete paralysis follows two turns after that (this means two turns after the poisoned person's speed is halved, the turn when speed is halved is counted as the first then there's a another turn where nothing new happens symptom wise) reducing running speed to zero, making it impossible to perform hand seals, move their mouth or lungs. Asphyxiation takes place three turns after this the only way to prolong a life past this point is Chakra CPR or nullifying the poison completely.

Note: Samples can only be willingly given by Howard and the carrier risks exposure as only Howard is immune
Note: Can be applied to weapons, ninja tools, and smoke bombs by anyone given a sample
Note: Can be applied to the fingernails, hands, and teeth by someone with an immunity
Note: Since the poison is predominantly hormone and amino acid based it is resistant to heat and liquid once inside the body.

Sorry Bout taking so long, and sorry if my writing suck D':

The General as he had been so dubbed, eyeballed the attacks they had made. They weren't effective by the looks of it, but their aggression was working, they wouldn't be able to withstand them for long, especially on the threaded woman's side. With the Bear's advance being slowed, he just rolled his eyes - the bears dispersing met with response. He would leave the Gates for now, and focus on the right side. He needed people to counter that strange smoke, the fact men were screaming and rolling around mean it had hallucinogenic properties. Med Shinobi were already dragging people back to the line they had near to the trees and The pushing men were replaced, some wore gasmasks and others cleared it with wind, a couple others replaced the surfaces with Mud that hardened and other Earth users start building ramps up towards the top with men riding the edges ready to defend against oncoming jutsu. Heh, how would he deal with this?

Lena's opponents were still being troublesome, but the second wave that were earth rock riding up to her using ramps were on their way up and instead use the advantage of using the whole of the wall to get passed her rather than focusing. Same on Smith's side. The Taijutsu user that had previously punched her off the Wall approached her head on in an attempt to give her hands and she was put on the back foot of his attack, blocking rather than countering. Until his quick strikes left and opening allowing her to grab his face and then shove him into the earth. She drags him back up into the air and throws him at another Shinobi, though unknown to them she had planted a red card on the Taijutsu user, which explodes when they reach a distance, engulfing them both in their doom.

She turns to face the oncoming paths of Earth that would crash against the sides of the Wall. Getting closer, the words Smith shout at her ring in her head, "This is your chance to show your worth to your people! Do what's needed." He was getting to her, she could take them in hand to hand there was no need to just destroy. Closer. Though there were others, she needed to deal with them quick. Yes, they will kill indiscriminately, if she didn't. She had to, he was right, she knew it, kill them! They get very close before Lena sticks her hands out and charges lightning through it, releasing a fast burst of lightning that point blank destroys the Earthen Ramps in front of her and vaporises the Shinobi on them. The Ramps on the left and right would take a small hit from the Lightning Thunderstorm, however it was better defended against to her right. The Lightning dies down and as the Earth hits the wall, the Shinobi's jump from one to the other, prepared to fight. So was she. Her fire mask that was flying the skies came up behind the group of shinobi that had approached her right side and shot a fireball at them, a malestrom of flames eats them up as they all scream and cry out. This also separated her from others behind the wall of flame cooking off it's victims. She only had the little group to her left to fight which she had charged at already. Wit hone swift movement she dodges a downwards sword slice to the left whilst also punching her first attacker in the gut causing him to keep over, following up with an elbow with the same arm right in the temple. She doesn't stop her momentum and continues towards an enemy performing a group of handseals, his cheeks poofing up - he spits and she jumps bringing her legs up high to head height. The Mud he spews misses her and hits the floor, it was an attempt to bind her - but the shinobi was eating boots, out cold as he hit the deck. Lena had put herself in an open position performing a drop kick to the shinobi's head, with enemies still around her she had a small amount of time before she hit the floor. She spun in mid-air, from her person a barrage of cards shoot at all directions as she hits the floor, performing a sort of break dance move, keeping the momentum but also kicking a couple enemies away. The cards hitting a few others. She manages to launch herself from the ground and her feet plant on the floor, upright again at less of a disadvantage. Though as she looked around Shinobi were ignoring her, they were scaling around the Wall and the ichor, though she was keeping their passage passed her limited she couldn't hold all out at once. She tried throwing the odd card after them, causing an explosion to throw them off and slow them down - they were learning to counter her smaller attacks.

Description: The user will manipulate their chakra and breath out from their mouth a large fireball that travels at the opponent. As it reaches the opponent it bursts into a maelstrom of fire engulfing them in flames.

Lena's Typhoon mask flies away from the Gates for a moment to assist her, utilising it's stronger wind ability to cut off the routes the stragglers were trying to get through. Creating a massive wall of violent wind that tore the air apart at the back end of the large wall, this cut down many shinobi, not being able to counter the much stronger element that is not simply fuuton. Their bodies are sliced to pieces and the smell of blood fills the air. This wall of wind deters other from proceeding passed the blockade.

With effort he can increase the scale and intensity of the storm, being capable of covering an entire island.

Though a loud roar was heard once more. The Enemies had their opening and they took it, bringing out one of their big guns they struck with full force. Their hunger to get to Shinramoto clear. The General knew that they had to break the people.

Battle of Shinramoto - Wave 2

A large poof of smoke erupted in the valley that the Gates separated, one was gone already and only two remained. What had emerged from the Smoke was another Large bear, but this one was different, burgundy fur, scarred eye, armour. The Bear crouched down, his good eye cracked open as a flash of light shot from it and with a remarkable burst of speed the bear launched forward. Thunder cracked. OR so it was thought and the bear was on the other side of the wall, the rashoman gates still appeared intact. Until. They shattered to pieces, a dash so fast and destructive it caused the walls to vibrate violently. This wasn't all either, the skies erupted with clouds, a squadron of birds littered the blue skies, filling it with activity as they flew through the air - moving over the wall. Lena from the Gate's destruction to the air and cursed.

"Smith! That fast bear, we need to deal with it!!" She kicks a shinobi off her, causing him to fly off the wall and moves to run nearer to the back end. Her Fire heart flies into the sky along with the birds and starts firing at them to try and reduce their numbers - but the enemies weren't easy to overcome, countering the fire heading their way narrowly. She however uses her dark threads to shoot her hand at one of the birds' legs, latching on and hitching a ride passed the wall. Her Typhoon heart comes with her, though splits off as they go passed the Bear, Lena continues towards where all the villagers were, flying in front of the bear whilst the Typhoon heart flies behind it. Lena launches a barrage of white cards at the Bears only eye, it raised it's hand as if it was going to bat them away but instead it exploded into a flash of light! The Light makes the Bear jerk back with a loud roar, the shinobi riding him caught in the flash too. They all groaned and became irritated along with the Bear. Then it followed, the treacherous typhoon heart called form a massive tornado directly behind the bear, tearing up the winds on a massively large scale around the Valley and summon - it screamed in pain as it took the hits, it's fur being shredded and skin torn. The shinobi caught within it were thrown around like ragdolls, but the animal stood it's ground. The heart used a hell of a lot of energy trying to output as much power into the air as possible.

(Katon: Ryūen Hōka no Jutsu) - Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique
Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: After performing the hand seal Tiger the user compresses a large amount of chakra built up inside their body, before instead expelling it in the form of a number of dragon head-shaped fireballs. The user then skilfully manipulates that great fire, and attacks their opponent. The temperature of the created flames is so great that, even with the briefest of contact, they are capable of easily burning human flesh and the fireballs are dense enough to behave almost as solid, being able to deliver impact damage in adition to the fire damage. However, this also means that they can be deflected as a solid projectiles.

(Jiongu: Kuro Ito) - Earth Grudge Fear: Dark Threads (B-Rank)

The user can not only alter his own body form and structure but also use the threads to attack or defend from incoming techniques. As Kakuzu's skin is still stitched to keep his humanoid form when not used, he can take advantage of this technique to propel his hands or limbs at great distances and grab a target. Its also this technique that allows Kakuzu to detach his masks from his own body to form the "animals" which he uses in combat.
Note: Can only be used by Kakuzu

( Taiton: Mōfū Daireppa ) - Typhoon Release: Great Consecutive Bursting Extreme Winds
Type: Offensive
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short - Long ( Short range radius, long range reach)
Chakra: 50
Damage: 90
Description: The user summons a massive tornado, intense enough to not only dwarf a Complete Body — Susanoo, but also match it. Despite its power, the technique has an exploitable flaw. The user is left defenseless at the eye of the storm. Should the enemy reach it, they can easily counter with a suprise attack.
Note: Can only be used once every two turns

A Drum Noise Smacked Lena so hard in the brain she was stunned, paralysed. She was about to build up her Dark Chakra too, and finish the Bear, but her free hand faltered and the other let loose of the Bird. Her threads retracted and her arm was back to normal again, but her ride slipped from her grasp. Lena's limp body plummeted through the air until it hit the grass with a thud and she rolled across and through the soil like it was laying her bed. Dust kicked up around her....

The bear had swiped the Typhoon Heart out of the Sky, reached through the heart of the Tornado and tore it's threaded body clean in two with it's claws. Which was also perfectly sliced through the heart. The Mask cracked and shattered and that was all she could remember of that life.

The Thudding Heartbeat Noise rang in her ears again as Lena's eyes burst open with life. The Link between that heart had been severed, and it hurt like hell. She sat up, looking towards the Bear that was far in the distance, she was nearer to the trenches with her villagers behind her and a large grassy plain between her and what was to come. The bear was heavily injured, breathing heavily it seemed it was still willing to fight as it had not disappeared yet - it was just taking a breather. She hoped Smith could deal with it, seemed it's durability and speed was high. Lena clutched her chest as she stumbled to her feet and gathered herself, she was bloody, dirty and scarred. Yet there was still plenty of pain left to be felt. Kunai hit the ground on the grassy plain a few hundred meters in front of her, they were tagged and originated from the small group of birds above - the man that through em fell last, landing on the ground between his multiple Kunai that were perfectly lined up from one end of the plain to the other. The blonde man performed a few hand seals and instantly.... instantly.... Lena's questions from earlier were answered. There was the militia. Battalions of men on horses in square formations had been summoned to the battlefield. Lena's raspy breathing let loose a few words, still recovering from her destroyed heart.

"Space Time User?" She couldn't help but let out a laugh, "Takauji found someone like that?"

She slapped her face and shook her head, looking up across the field, her eyes homed in on them all. Soldiers dressed like the ones in Degarashi, armed with weapons like guns, spears and swords. Probably the odd shinobi in their too, protect them from large scale ninjutsu so they could get across the battlefield and cause havoc. Lena brought her right fist to her hand and cracked knuckles, before cracking her neck and letting out a breath that calmed her. Her recovery was over.

"Open War it is."

The Men roared and the horses charged.

She stood there against this adversary, alone.

Battle for Shinramoto - Wave 2
The Unsuspecting Hero Rises.


Smith's primary personality stuck inside the Resonance seal was communicating directly to the secondary personality that was now in control and lamenting to himself. He spoke out for only himself and the secondary personality to hear but it was more a commentary on the vicious, actions happening and what the secondary personality was doing.

You're probably thinking this guy is supposed to be the hero, but he just incinerated an entire battalion and he's fucking loving it. Surprise he just might not be the hero of this story.


Healing Factor: Weapon X
Creator: Howard
Type: Healing
Description and Background: The pill at its base is mostly a mass of mitogens suspended in a concentrated medium of senjutsu chakra and natural energy that when consumed begins to breakdown and move throughout the body activating and signaling proto-oncogenes to ramp up cell growth exponentially. The proto-onogenes along with the body itself begin using the senjutsu chakra and natural energy as a fuel source to expedite this process. It completely turns off tumor suppressors as every cell in the body begins to rapidly and nearly uncontrollably go through mitosis converting the new cells at the site of the wound, wounds, or missing appendages to blastema. Blastema are masses of cells capable of growth and regeneration into organs or body parts, these blastema begin to form all throughout the body almost like tumors which would usually impede natural function but through the senjutsu chakra and natural energy fuel they are quickly converted into new cells rebuilding the body at a rapid pace becoming whatever new cell the body needs. These blastema can replace organs, bones, blood, muscles, nerves and any other bodily form however they are unable to repair fatal damage such as spinal column destruction, as well as severe damage to the brain or heart. However limbs can be regrown and organs excluding the heart, brain, spinal column and central nervous system can be rebuilt. The healing effects of the pill only last a single turn and will heal the user back to one hundred percent of their health pool dependent upon the state of their body in that specific turn.

In essence they can become any form of tissue or structure for the body including muscle tissue, bone tissue, organ tissue, Endothelial cells, nerves, tendons, brain tissue etcetera, and form rapidly almost like a cancer spreading throughout the body causing the consumers skin to flake and tear as if sickly almost as if they were in the late stages of cancer. These proto-oncogenes eventually convert to oncogenes and ramp up the production of mutated cells even further creating some pain but this pain is a signal that allows the consumer to know the process is halfway complete as their body is now littered with masses of blastema that are breaking down and transforming into new cells rebuilding the body through a genetic sense memory like that of the Axolotl who can rebuild organs, limbs and even brain tissue multiple times throughout their life. After this pain sets in the body begins using the senjutsu chakra and natural energy to fuel histiocytes which are large somatic cells found in stationary form in the tissues or as a mobile white blood cell, especially at sites of infection. These begin to consume and dispose of any tissue that is no longer needed converting it back, excess flesh, bone, and sinew are disposed of as the last few stages of the process begin. These histiocytes work with anti-bodies like a clean-up crew after the healing has taken place. These anti-bodies and histiocytes actively seek out the oncogenes consuming them directly. This entire process takes place over the course of a single turn.

The senjutsu chakra and natural energy has it's own effect separate from the bodily reactions brought on by the mitogens. They allow the user to instantly enter any form of Sage Mode they know as their body is flooded with this foreign energy no longer needing to wait a full turn to gather the natural energy required. Due to the spike in foreign energy most genjutsu are broken after taking this excluding MS grade or above, upon activation the user is granted 10% of their chakra as senjutsu chakra through this method the rest is consumed by the mentioned processes. This includes everything from E to Forbidden rank as well as elemental genjutsu and other types lower than MS grade. If this pill is taken while already in Sage Mode it grants the user 30% of their chakra as senjutsu chakra per pill consumed. However only a single pill can be taken per turn, with a maximum of two per individual battle. They cannot be taken within a two turn period of each other. The senjutsu chakra and natural energy also has the added effect of overcharging the entire body on a cellular level pushing any foreign material from the body this includes poisons, toxins, pathogenic matter and any harmful substance. These substances will be nullified and excreted from the body as sweat rapidly. This is due in part to the natural energy and senjutsu chakra's natural healing and rejuvenative properties but also because the metabolism of the consumer is overcharged to a point where these things are unable to remain in the body.

Description of Side Effects: The side effects mainly revolve around the pain created by the process taijutsu falters as the consumers muscles feel sore, and tense. He takes an extra twenty damage from taijutsu techniques or blunt force trauma after the medicine has worn off this lasts for two turns. The consumer is unable to use a KG or HA the turn after consuming the medicine as the cells themselves go through a state of flux where old cells are replaced. Taking one pill doesn't cause too many problems outside of the pain but taking a second does. The body won't be able to handle the clean up and disposal of the excess cells created by the second pill so the body will heal but the cells will not be disposed of thus they are left riddled with small blastema that will need to be healed later. These blastema will not be life threatening and are mostly an annoyance but will cause the consumer to be very susceptible to taijutsu and blunt force trauma taking an additional thirty damage until the blastema are healed. At this point the blastema are pretty much just scar-tissue annoying but no where near harmful however due to these blastema the user is unable to use any KG abilities, or any advanced ninjutsu including, Rain Release, Fuuinjutsu, or Hidden Abilities for two turns or until healed.

The side effects of the natural energy and senjutsu chakra are separate from the above mentioned side effects. If used to instigate a form of Sage Mode the body will be exhausted upon the deactivation of Sage Mode unable to use any KG abilities, or any advanced ninjutsu including Rain Release, Fuuinjutsu, or Hidden Abilities for two turns after Sage Mode has ended. The user spends an additional 10 chakra points per turn to sustain Sage Mode if taken to activate Sage Mode. If the user takes a second pill this 10 chakra points is doubled to 20 additional chakra points to sustain Sage Mode if used to activate Sage Mode. If taken by someone who hasn't trained with Natural Energy it'll instantly and uncontrollably turn them to stone. This training doesn't require being trained in Sage Mode just a form of natural energy or senjutsu usage.
The wave of adrenaline and energy flowed through his mind and body and it was exhilarating. It was the greatest he had ever felt in his short clone-life, his body moved without thought, his mind formed ideas faster. The secondary personality had complete control over the body at this point and even shelved behind the same trap-like seal he put in place for that secondary personality the primary personality could see the joy brought on by finally being freed. Along with everything else that was taking place.
It could see everything the secondary personality was doing, the vile, sadistic things and the revel it was taking in them. It knew they were needed now and he couldn't be the one to do it due to his nature. That's what brought his secondary personality to life, his inability to do what he needed to do in times like this. Smith grabbed something from his side stuffing it into his mouth as he noticed they were getting used to the gaseous poison. The shinobi began to use wind techniques to blow away the gas and they began to drag their shinobi back trying to heal them. The small pill made a shattering noise as it cracked between his teeth he spoke directly to Salazzle in an authoritative tone.

Switch it up. They're used to gas. Drench them.

Salazzle responded in a playful tone, which felt out of place on the field of combat.

So you want me to get them wet? I think I can handle that.

During that exchange, Lena had seemed to make a difficult decision. She seemed to have taken off the kid gloves as she began to do what Smith, well at least the secondary personality controlling his body, felt she needed to do. She was killing everything in her path Smith couldn't help but catch the lone glimpse or two as he threw a few shinobi back from his wall their bodies landing against the ground with bone-crunching smashing noises. He nodded in her general direction as if in approval of what she was doing. She may not even notice it, this action was odd from his secondary personality. Normally it respected no-one, but it seemed to be gaining a bit of respect for Lena.
Smith watched in awe as she formed a massive wall crafted from a strange violet gas-like wind. He continued watching as it proceeded to tear through a good number of shinobi cutting them into pieces and spreading them across the field some even seemed to rocket back hitting their allies. During this time it seemed that any shinobi that made it up the wall and who tried to sneak past the semi-solid oobleck were being skewered by projectiles that rushed up out of the defense creating a projectile that skewered through their guts and chests. After entering the body the creations seemed to open like a grappling hook digging hooks deep into their flesh before pulling their nearly dead bodies back into the oobleck.
This would yank the few lone shinobi who made it past the defense and past Lena's cards down deep into the substance where their bodies were all but crushed when the surviving few tried to pull themselves back out of the viscous liquid. Smith looked up to Salazzle and pointed to Lena as she was falling back to the ground with his right hand.

( Ekitai: Baindo ) - Oobleck Release: Bind
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 30 (+5 to make it solid again)
Damage points: 60 (+10 to coated technique) + 20 = 80
Description: The user molds a mixture of water chakra and earth chakra forming a mass of Oobleck, or manipulates an already existing source of Oobleck. If creating the source, he must perform the boar hand seal allowing him to form the source of Oobleck into projectiles, nets, waves, tools or weapons. If he's manipulating an already existing source he is able to merely use slight motions of the hands to form sources into the above mentioned items.
As he manipulates the Oobleck he coats it in chakra giving it shape and making it retain a form until the user decides to release the chakra coating at that point the Oobleck loses it's solid properties covering the opponent in a thick gooey liquid that can impede movement making the opponent slowed due to the excess weight of the Oobleck as well as it's sticky properties. This will half the opponent's speed as long as the oobleck remains on the opponent. The user can also manipulate the Oobleck to constrict the opponent hardening it to a point that it can hold a person in place indefinitely unless defended adequately. This is done by calling upon the chakra inside the oobleck causing it to increase the viscosity of the substance to the point where it's a solid by creating an internal force that acts upon the oobleck. The aforementioned process is the same one that keeps the oobleck solid until impact. If the opponent tries to struggle against the oobleck that force is enough to activate the properties of oobleck without the need of chakra manipulation.
The user is also able to coat objects, constructs, other techniques, and weapons in a thick layer of oobleck or feed oobleck itself into the molding and mixture of the technique itself. This layer holds all of the properties of oobleck and makes hits dealt with the coated object, construct, technique or weapon stronger, and more devastating. This is exactly like the (Ekitai: Yoroi) Oobleck Release: Armor technique but instead of creating an armor for the user it is created for one of aforementioned things. When solid, liquid, or semisolid techniques are coated with a layer of oobleck they stand up to force, stress and elements oobleck is strong to as if the coated technique is strong to the opposing technique. However this is true for the opposite as well, if this technique is used to reinforce a technique and oobleck is weak to the element it is clashing with it even if the technique this was used on is strong to it, it will be considered weak to said technique.
Weapons, objects and constructs coated in oobleck become larger with a visible oobleck enlargement such as a kunai being completely enshrouded with oobleck, while techniques only change color slightly to a dull brown and become physically larger in size.
Notes:
The user can only form four constructs with a use of the jutsu But the power will be devided evenly between the constructs
The reinforcing ability will require the use of the hand signal and happens in the same timeframe as the technique it's modifying
The reinforcing ability can be used on oobleck jutsu without the seal, as the user is just pumping more oobleck into the technique to make it larger, and stronger. This also has the added benefit of increasing the rank of the oobleck technique as it becomes a quick combo. This does not work on S rank or Forbidden techniques.
The reinforcing ability can only be used three times per battle
Her threads retracted and her arm was back to normal again, but her ride slipped from her grasp. Lena's limp body plummeted through the air until it hit the grass with a thud and she rolled across and through the soil like it was laying her bed. Dust kicked up around her.....
Salazzle, she's going to do a hero landing. Wait for it.

Weeeeeeew. Oh. ****.


Smith had seen the massive bear bust through the gate they finally had given up on scaling the wall. Smith expected this to happen, the choke-point was open. If they wanted through they would now charge through this small area and try to rush into Shinramoto as a whole. As the birds were summoned and began to fly toward the wall Smith directed Salazzle to handle the bear. She looked toward it as Smith looked back toward the field in front of him. He formed a single hand seal and a dense mist began to form in the sky surrounding the birds before they could fly over the gate.
Then-... it began to materialize into a liquid surrounding the birds in a dense tar-like substance causing them to fall to the ground unable to flap their wings to remain airborne. About eighty percent of them began to reverse summon again just like the others the ones who didn't reverse summon for whatever reason either crashed into the ground skidding across the ground dead or slammed into the wall like pidgeons hitting a window breaking their necks upon the first wall of solid earth. However, this wasn't the end of it due to its now liquid nature the poison that would normally hang in the air and move with the wind began to rush downward toward the ground dripping down upon the advancing shinobi. It did this as a massive wave of liquid poison that poured down from the sky rushing downward coating the ground and any shinobi left on the field including the medical shinobi who were trying to heal the previously poisoned battle-oriented shinobi.

(Dokuton: Dokugakure Kiri no Jutsu) -Dokuton: Hidden Poison Mist Technique
Rank: B-Rank ( A )
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 20 (-5 per turn to keep active, opponent suffers 20*X chakra point loss per turn, being X the number of turns exposed)
Damage Points: N/A (10*X per turn, being X the number of turns exposed) ( 30x )
Description: A technique based off of the Kirigakure no Jutsu. The user will do an unorthodox handseal (slamming both clenched fists together, palms facing down) and releases his chakra throughout the atmosphere. This chakra will copy a poison in the users possession and produce it in the atmosphere through the users chakra and the moisture all around. This creates a plethora of poison mist that very quickly fills up the area. It not only blocks off the view of the opponent, but also surrounds them by a dense poison mist which, if absorbed through the skin or breathed, is then used to drain the opponents chakra and health.
( Dokuton: Toripuru pointo ) - Poison Release: Triple Point
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A (+20 to poison techniques )
Description: In chemistry and physics, the triple point is the temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid, and vapor phases of a particular substance coexist in equilibrium. It is a specific case of thermodynamic phase equilibrium. By forcing more chakra than usual into a poison technique while also coating it with a dense layer of chakra and forcing it to pressurize by forcing an immense pressure on it the user is able to raise or lower the temperature and pressure of the poisonous substance in unison. This causes any poison to reach it's natural triple point thus the poison can shift quickly through the three basic states of matter gas, liquid, and solid allowing them to coexist as one creating a superfluid or a supersolid.
By then slowing down and manipulating this process in a very precise and deliberate way the user is able to immediately and in the same timeframe as another poison technique change it's state of matter or change the state of matter of an already used technique. For example they are able to turn a liquid poison technique into gas or a gas one into a liquid; meaning they are able to vaporize or condense the poison without losing any of it's strength instead gaining strength from it. Also a third state of poison can be created one that is different and new this being a solid variation. Solid poison is strong to water while being weak to lightning. This solid form isn't dust-like in nature like what can be done with Poison Creation and instead is a real solid like solid rock or earth with the potential to poison things that touch it. Changing the state of poison is done by basically forcing more poison chakra into a technique and pressurizing it thus making it naturally stronger via giving it a one-rank boost (+20 damage). This is done by pressurizing the poison with that chakra making it denser allowing it to deal more blunt damage when colliding with something. This works up to A-rank (S-rank too, but without the damage boost) allowing the user to alter many forms of poison including another technique or just ambient inert poison on the field. The user can preemptively use this on a technique at the cost of a move to allow for the change of state once in the next two turns whenever he chooses without the use of a move later as he has activated the poison's triple point where it will be in a superposition of all three states. It can happen in the same timeframe as another poison technique but it still costs a move to use.
Note: Can be used four times per battle with a two-turn cooldown.
Without him noticing a single shinobi had made his way up and over the wall. He was a massive man about Sado's usual height easily seven feet tall. Smith smiled the biggest grin he had this entire battle. This man thought his size would win out, this man was a little bitch. Smith had fought Goliath two feet taller than him and won. Smith assumed the man believed himself superior for reaching this point.
Smith began to slowly walk toward the man, as the burly, muscular man rushed forward to enter short range and take him head-on. To say he was walking slowly would be an overstatement he seemed to be moving in slow motion toward his approaching opponent who was acting normally running forward toward Smith. Smith's arms and legs were slow and lethargic as his motions were deliberate and showy. Salazzle noticed this and asked what he was doing.

What the hell are you doing?

Smith replied.

I'm moving in slow motion, like you do.

Salazzle was confused by this response.

Like you do? What do you mean?

Smith replied again in a serious tone.

When the hero comes up against his foe, the world slows down right before the final strike.

Have you never watched an anime!?


Salazzle sighed and hung her head in defeat at how stupid he sounded.

Whatever. I'll just take care of the bear.

[video=youtube;XMCYNH1EJTg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMCYNH1EJTg[/video]​

Finally, the big guy entered short range and threw his left fist forward toward Smith's upper-body as if he was going to punch through him and send him flying away. Smith had been concentrating natural energy into his right arm by this point and as the big guy's left fist moved forward at a rapid, fast pace it was intercepted by Smith's forward slowly moving right arm in a downward strike countering the upward strike the man had been building momentum for.
From the strike, a massive amount of natural energy was released as a humongous wave of natural energy and wind pressure was formed creating a massive spinning tornado of force that shattered the man's arm before tossing him forward across the battlefield. He flew from the roughly sixty-meter tall wall as he raced through the air across the field finally landing upon a medical shinobi crushing him under the weight killing both.

(Senpo: Detoroito Sumasshu) - Sage Art: Detroit Smash
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60 + 20 = 80
Description:
The user will channel natural energy into their fist and perform a downward punch. While simple in nature this punch is able to change the wind pressure around the epicenter of the punch due to the natural energy. With the sudden change in wind pressure an updraft is created, which in turn creates a massive swirling vortex of wind and natural energy, which expands to reach up to short range away from the epicenter becoming an effective barrier. Due to the natural energy both the updraft and the vortex can play on equal terms with most elemental jutsu while having advantages against some; with the updraft gaining an advantage against liquids and gases being able to disperse them and send them away from the body, thus being able to counter up to S rank liquids and gases. While the vortex having a rotation to it has an advantage against lightning being able to counter up to S rank Lighting. Against everything else it is neutral.

- Usable two times.
- Two turn wait between uses.
- No Sage Arts A rank and above next turn.
See I told you.

Smith said aloud to Salazzle.

You're seriously a man-child, aren't you?

Salazzle retorted.

She watched as the bear continued to rush forward as she crafted poison threads from her finger-tips that rushed forward in behind the bear latching onto its legs and posterior. It began to pump poison directly into its body and chakra system polluting both in a rapid and rushed effect as its muscles began to convulse and stutter. Its fast movements would begin to become more lethargic as finally, it passed out skidding across the ground the threads still attached to it pumping more and more poison into it.
Salazzle maintained the technique detaching the threads from the bear retracting them slightly as every single thread sought out a Black One connecting to their neck and trying to force poison into their bodies. If this was successful they would have a similar reaction. Once finished she would detatch the threads a second time sliding them back to the wall keeping them still active waiting for someone else to make it past the open Rashomon Gate.
She had the threads themselves remain hidden behind both sides of the wall waiting for the first person to push into the grove where she would immediately attack them with the threads. That was until a numerous amount of horseman were summoned. Salazzle's mouth dropped slightly as she looked to Smith for further orders. What could they do now?

( Dokuton: Yūdokuna ito ) - Poison Release: Toxic Threads
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 40 (15 to maintain)
Damage: N/A (or 80)
Description: The user concentrates dokuton chakra into the tips of their fingers extending from each of their fingers a long spindle like thread of dense liquid poison. The user is able to choose how many threads for whatever scenario but the number cannot exceed ten (one thread per finger). Then they can weave these threads throughout the battlefield to attack or around the target, somewhat similar to those used by puppet users or the threads created by (Iryō Ninjutsu: Chakra No Ito) - Medical Technique: Chakra Threads.

The threads can be funnelled into the ground to travel to the opponent's position to attack from several angles allowing for a very deceptive use. The threads can then embed themselves into the target and pierce into the opponents chakra circulatory system as well as their vascular system. Through this connection the user can pump poison directly into the opponent's body or can directly pollute their chakra with dokuton chakra causing the chakra circulatory system to decay and erode from the damage. Individuals who have had their chakra circulatory system polluted will have to mould an additional twenty chakra alongside their techniques and if the threads are connected for more than four turns the opponent will lose the ability to mould chakra until they are healed. This also causes additional damage as long as the threads are attached to the opponent and even once removed the opponent will remain poisoned until cured as per the usual requirements of poison. If dokuton chakra has been applied to their chakra circulatory system a full body purge has to be performed to removed the polluted chakra otherwise it remains in the body circulating through the body.

Alternatively if the user wishes to use the threads defensively or in a different offensive manner they can lift their hands into the air causing the threads to spiral around their body in a rapid manner. These threads begin to whip around the user at a fast pace with the potential to either create a defensive dome of fast moving threads or they can be directed to whip at the opponent to attack directly with slashing and piercing motions. Additionally the user can connect these threads to a technique they've used pumping dokuton chakra or poison directly into the technique empowering it. This has the potential to raise the rank of a technique by one up to S-rank where it merely grants an additional ten damage. Though this has to be a technique that the threads can attach to liquids
Note: Can only be used twice per battle with a two turn cool down
Note: Can only use poison techniques while this technique is being maintained
Smith didn't need her to ask or tell him, he could sense them as soon as they appeared. He turned on his right foot to face behind the wall. What he would do next-... might infuriate Lena once they had to deal with clean-up but it was all he could think of doing at this moment. As the battalion of Black Ones rushed forward fast toward Lena the ground below them became a thick dense trench roughly ten meters deep.
However, this wasn't just regular mud it was strengthened and empowered as the substance rushed upward surrounding the horses and the men alike. It swiftly pulled them down into the substance causing small blades of mud to tear at their flesh and bones lacerating them in unison sucking them down under the swamp with a sickly slurping noise as a large amount of the battalion was snuffed out almost instantly.
The remainder were left on the surface of the swamp as a lot of horses and Black Ones tried to pull themselves from the swamp trying to swim through it. Smith screamed out across the battlefield toward Lena once more. The bear was dead, the battalion of Black Ones was all but dealt with. All that he saw that remained was their general the man standing before Lena. Smith extended his left hand toward her with a thumbs up as he yelled out in a booming voice.

OI LENA! KICK HIS ASS!

Salazzle looked back to Smith dumbfounded this was unlike him. The Sado she knew was prideful. He'd never let someone else take the final blow from him. The final strike. However, here he was just a side-show for this woman to boost her up and make her appear as if she was the one in control. Everything he was doing was making it appear like Lena was doing it all like she was the hero saving these people.
Even the swamp seemed to form in front of her and to the people behind it could appear like she did it. Like she was the one to take out an entire battalion of Black Ones. Was he really not going to help her fight this man? Was he going to let her take the final kill? Then she verbalized that thought.

(Doton: Yomi Numa) - Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A ( S )
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: The user will first perform Boar → Tiger and then by changing the surface of an object beneath an enemy into mud and creating a non flammable swamp, the user can sink his enemy into the mud. The adhesive, chakra-infused mud ensnares the enemy's body, making it almost impossible to recover one's strength and escape from the swamp. The size and depth of the created swamp depends on the user's skill and the amount of chakra used, but if the user is an expert in this technique, it will always be possible to make a fair-sized swamp which is extremely effective against a great number of enemies or when having to face gigantic creatures.
(Doton: Doro Rappu) - Earth Style: Mud Wrap
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short ( of mud )
Chakra: 30
Damage: NA (+20 to mud based techniques)
Description: The user channels additional earth chakra into a mud based technique or takes hold of earth chakra infused mud already in play. Due to the earth chakra already found in the mud it can be slightly manipulated further to surround the opponent. The mud basically blasts out and around the opponent covering their body in mud or slashes and tears at their skin with small blade like creations formed from the mud giving it an additional sharpness. This makes moving harder as well as restricts breathing placing an excessive weight on the opponent tripling their weight and cutting their movement speed in half for as long as the mud remains on them. This is due to the earth chakra infused mud that covers the opponent. It has the same effect as Swamp of the Underworld in a more refined and specific way as it makes movement harder. The mud can possibly asphyxiate the opponent if it successfully covers the opponent completely. The mud can be controlled slightly and forced to surround the opponent's head making it's way into their nose, mouth and eyes. However to use this technique the user must have used a mud based earth jutsu.
The additional chakra can also strengthen the mud making it a sort of psuedo-combination allowing for the addition of more damage. Through this additional earth chakra the mud can be proliferated, thus making the original technique both larger and stronger (one-rank boost up to A-rank and +20 damage). This can be used alongside another mud based technique in the same timeframe to alter or augment the way the user attacks or can be used later on to control mud that is still just lying around.

Note: Can only be used three times per battle with a two-turn cooldown.
Note: The strengthening ability can only be used twice and only once per turn
What are you doing? There's one left.

Smith's reply was in a hushed tone. Almost a whisper that no one but they could hear.

Her people need to see her end this. It's strategy 101.

I've done all I can and more, I need her to take action now. This is her fight.


He was lying somewhat. More a lie of omission really. This wasn't his plan, he was just repurposing something he was told by someone else. Maybe those regular people weren't so bad. He thought as he remembered back to Zeri's words. "I'm guessin you can use Chakra properly to a higher degree like her, if you want her gain her trust stop trying to be nice and push her. Though that seems like the opposite of getting her to trust you - she's smart enough to see the intentions though."
He stood atop the untouched wall waiting and watching the field. He kept an eye on the people behind the wall and those in front of it as the ones infront were yelling out in terror, and the ones behind it were being sunk to the depths of the swamp. He was a bit proud of the fact that the shinobi nor the Black Ones could knock it down. He actually was waiting for them to do that as he had an idea for the oobleck should it spill out across the battlefield.​
Chakra:
1620 - 486 ( Weapon X ) = 1134

Senjutsu chakra:
25 + 486 ( Weapon X ) = 511
511 - 30 ( Bind ) = 481
481 - 20 ( Poison Mist ) = 461
461 - 30 ( Triple Point ) = 431
431 - 30 ( Detroit Smash ) = 401
401 - 30 ( Swamp ) = 371
371 - 30 ( Mud Wrap ) = 341

Sorry about the wait x-x

Lena watched as the horses approached, getting closer and closer she was between them and the people ready to fight. They hit the first row of trip explosive tags and an array of explosions went off, the screams of men and horses erupted into the air. But they continued, she watched as they approached the second set of trip tags leaving their dead to roll uselessly behind. However when they get to the tags they do not trigger them, seemed they had men disabling her tags. The next set were ignored also, they were getting close and would soon be upon her. Lena raised her hand into the air, waiting for the right moment. Her eyes focused. And as she was about to lower her arm to command her troops mud formed in front of her an across, covering a wide area as the battalions sunk into it, soldiers struggled and tried to swim - but it was impossible.

"Huh?"

The leader in front rode without his army behind. He looks back, looking at his stuck army as the wide swamp covered a large area. His face faltered, turning his horse back around to face Lena with an angered look. But she was acting, it was no time to be dramatic - diving towards him and upwards to reach the height that he was at on his horse, hand filled with chakra as she strikes him in the face. Cracking him straight across the kisser, and forcing him flying from his saddle and spinning backwards - his body hits the ground and skids across it, sliding towards the edge of the swamp. Lena approached him, looking down at the General.

"This was too easy..."

The General's face was cracked and what seemed to be soil rolled from his almost broken face. He laughed and spluttered at her.

"Yeah it was."

Lena heard something, no she heard nothing. Sudden quiet as she looked up, the mud was empty - no signs of struggling soldiers, though there was signs of previous activity and the odd object within it. The Shinobi who had threw the daggers from before smiled at her from the other side of the mud and disappeared himself. Lena grabbed the collar of the General and shook him, anger rose in her voice.

"What was the point in this!?"

The General laughed as his earthen body cracked and shattered into rocks, her grip on his becoming useless as he became rubble. She looked up towards Smith, there was silence on the battlefield - the Shinobi on the other side of the wall had gone, the Bear, the militia and the General. It was... quiet. She looked back towards the Village of Mori, her Gut clenched as she felt sick suddenly. She ignored everything for a moment and ran towards the Headquarters Zeri had set up on the cliffside that overlooked the battlefield. She looked down at the map and cursed, only needing to be there for a second as she smashes the chair out of her way - it shatters against a wooden structure and she runs in the direction of the village. As she runs she takes out a Gadget barnacle and channels her chakra into it and then throws it - the shell becomes a strange creature made up of a community of barnacles. She leaps onto it's back and then manipulates it's shells to grow wings made of it's flesh allowing it flight. The Monster wasn't massive, but it was big enough to carry her and quickly sped towards the Village of Mori.

(Fujitsuboātsu : Gajettofujitsubo) - Barnacle Arts : Gadget Barnacle
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: C
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: N/A (+15 for summoning)
Damage Points: (+30 Spider-cle)(+30 Corrupt-cle)
Description:
The user will perform one handseal and summon what seems to be a generic Acorn Barnacle about they size of a coin in their hand, this isn't a summon and just a barnacle art that the user can use. The user can throw this Acorn Barnacle onto a target and it will permanently bind to it as long as it is solid (Person, Summon, Rock etc), the Gadget Barnacle has a number of effects and can only use one.

Source-cle
This Barnacle is used to bring up sources that may be needed depending on the user and their abilities. For example if the user is a water user then the source-cle will be thrown and it will release a puddle of water that will splash on the ground (can also be used as a C-rank water defence). Also creates an Ink Source if needed, (Puddle of Ink) or a source for Dark Release; The shell is gripped in the palm of the user's hand and the chakra is absorbed straight into the user capable of utilising one Dark Technique with it. Creates a Flame from the opening of the shell if that is a required source (Makeshift Lighter), can be used as a Mist Bomb which creates a small veil big enough to hide a couple of persons.

Spider-cle
Six tendrils will act as legs from the Shell and be able to move around, capable of carrying an item like a Shuriken or Kunai, Scroll or a Message (For RP use in the Ninja World) in a couple of their tendrils whilst the other four are used to move around. The Spider however is also a Bomb, is basically an explosive device that can be exploded at any time, before sticking to a target or after it. It creates a C-Rank explosion with a radius of 2 meters, the explosion isn't enough to kill and only blow the opponent away and cause minor burns. It can either be a Flame Explosion, Wind, or Lightning. The spider-cle moves at the same as their user's base speed.

Weapon-cle
The Acorn Barnacle actually becomes a powerful transformation, taking the shape of a weapon of the user's choosing. They can withstand up to C-Rank Elements before breaking, the barnacle can transform into a pair of weapons splitting the rank into D-Rank each.

Corrupt-cle
The Acorn Barnacle will be thrown at the ground where it will attach to it permanently with it's natural ability too, through this natural ability they have gained a knowledge and sort of affinity to earth of sorts. So the Earth is taken control by the barnacle and they will manipulate it into a 2 foot earth golem, it is capable of communication with the user and attacking with it's mouth and fists - like the Bomb-cle this acts like a C-Rank earth technique.

- These don't have to be summoned, they can already be on the user if stated in the bio.
- Body of the Thoracica and Legs of the Thoracica can be used through a Gadget Barnacle
- Barnacle Community Summons like "Oregon", "Barbaracle" can use Gadget Barnacles from their body.
- To use Varieties like Ink and Dark of the Source-cle then you have to be a user in that form of Ninjutsu
- Using One Gadget Barnacle costs a turn
- Must have signed the Barnacle Contract
- Can only use two different types of Gadget per turn
- Cannot use the same type more than once a turn

(Fujitsuboātsu: Chikara no Sai Kouchiku) Barnacle Arts: Power Reconstruct
Type: Suplementary
Rank: C - Rank
Range: Short -Long
Chakra: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: Power Reconstruct is a specialized technique known to the Barnacles who are considered “communities” among the contract much like Oregon and Arbiter. Due to how their bodies are structured, they are capable of using the innate ability they possess in order to reshape themselves into new forms. Through the manipulation of the tendrils that keeps them together and adjusting of the position of the barnacles they can attain new forms such Oregon changing into the form of a dragon or wolf as opposed to his normal state, allowing for more unique variety and twist among them. They cannot grow taller than they already are though can become shorter in height if needed, while retaining all their original abilities. One unique application of this technique can also be applied if in the instance of a single Acorn Barnacle is existing on the field, through which the user can summon a mass amount of barnacles together allowing for the single barnacle to join together in order to form a new community of barnacle capable of roaming around the battlefield in order to assist the summoner while retaining the ability to use Barnacle Arts much like other like other communities, while the single acorn barnacle acts as the “brain” of the community. This technique can only be used by Barnacles who are considered “communities” while creating new communities can only be done once per turn.

(Fujitsuboātsu : Thoracica no bodi) - Barnacle Arts : Legs of the Thoracica
Type: Supplementary / Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short (- Mid for Larger Summons)
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description:
A Thoracica Barnacle or even a Acrothoracica type Barnacle will focus chakra into their tentacle like limbs, fuelling them with strength and making them much longer and stronger. The limbs will now be capable of stretching up to 5 meters and grabbing a hold of a target that the user wishes for the summon using this jutsu to. Because this is the fleshy part of the barnacle, it isn't as durable as the shells but because of the chakra put into the limbs it becomes thick and almost like solid muscle (Not making it any less versatile) capable of standing up to the elements.

The Barnacles Tentacles can be grouped up and thickened so that they can be a bit more versatile and create fleshy parts to aid barnacles in battle. For example they can expand their tendrils which wrap around one another to form an arm. Anything can be made like limbs or wings capable of flight, a tail to whip prey - it's limited by the user's imagination and as long as the creation makes sense. The Size is limited to Short Range so can only be a maximum of 5 meters long from any kind of Barnacle source, whether it be an Acrothoracica or a Barnacle Shell or even a Kozui. However if a huge Summon, like "Sprout, The Gravemind" it will create things proportionate to it's size meaning it's range exceeds short range making it mid.

- Can only be used on up to four Barnacles, A-Rank power would be divided between them
- Any Thoracica or Acrothoracica type barnacles can use this
- No Barnacle arts A-Rank and above in the same turn
- This Technique has a two turn cooldown

Battle of Shinramoto - Wave 3 - Final Wave
Meanwhile back at the Village of Mori, Viola, who had been sent here to warn everyone of the oncoming fight was already there. People were packing up and getting on The Gauntlet - Zeri's ship. However, Juliana was being stubborn, wanting her daughter to go - but she wanted to stay and fight, Viola had to convince her or else Lena would be livid. Knocking on her door, Viola waited for someone to answer - it wasn't Juliana but this other girl, the one that travelled with the man known as Smith. Viola looked at her and barged passed going up to Juliana who had packed items for her daughter and what looked like the other woman too.

"You need to go too."

"I don't know who you are but I'm staying."

Viola cursed under her breath, what could she do? She could knock her out and carry her out of here? Yeah that was what she was gonna do, not like Alicia could stop her... Wait what was that noise? Wood shattered and glass exploded. A Cannonball tore straight through the house and sending everyone in different directions. Viola got up fist, checking to see if everyone was alive - they were just scared. She ran out and looked out to see - a row of ships in the ocean, cutting off their escape. A bombardment was set upon them as cannons tore up the village. Viola ran towards the docks, the Gauntlet was being pummelled and villagers were scattering away from it, there hope of getting away was dwindling. She heard ruckus in the village next and sprinted back, soldiers in armour were marching through cutting down people who resisted them. Viola went up to one performing a flying Kick to his face, one in proximity of him felt her acrobatic proficiency as she used the face of the initial to propel off him and perform a spinning kick into the other. The fell to the floor, helmets ringing. Managing to save one person. Though that wasn't going to be all of it, she looked into the distance and saw Topaz cutting down about four soldiers, they weren't strong enough to fight against his Ninjutsu - he seemed to be utilising a Water whip and sword. Viola makes her way over to him and shakes him, pointing towards Juliana's house.

"Get them out of here."

"I Can Fight!"

"They can't."

"Why can't you do this?"

"Because I'm a Summon, I might not be able to last long enough to protect them. You can."

Topaz couldn't fault her logic, so he nodded. He wasn't like the other bandits, he actually did have some feeling for others. And even though he'd only been here almost a day. They had welcomed him, drank with him, fed him. And Lena may not have seen it in him, but Juliana and Alicia did - even Lorelei had been nice to him. Maybe he did owe it to protect them. He nodded to Viola and ran towards Zeri's house; Viola went into the opposite direction to try and get rid of as many soldiers as she could whilst also figuring out how they got here.

[video=youtube;wNWShKuopic]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNWShKuopic[/video]​

Topaz ran into the house, Alicia and Juliana were carrying a Knocked out Lorelei. Topaz helped Lorelei, carrying her on his shoulders. Juliana was almost in tears, but she looked strong, carrying her spear she understood that now she would have to protect her daughter at all costs. Both Topaz and Juliana left and ran through the Village, cutting down soldiers in their path, taking alternative routes if others had too many to handle. However they came across a mounted soldier, with spear who charged towards them. Topaz was about to brace for impact before the enemy was swooped and taken off his horse - it was Songbird and Hawkeye riding upon him.

REF: (Kuchiyose : Utahime, Sora Doroppā) - Summoning : Songbird, The Sky Dropper
Type: Summon
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A (80 if used as an Attack)
Description:
Songbird is a Large Community of Barnacles formed together to take the look of a Mechanical looking Bird, easily dwarfing a person as he can pick them up with just one of his two talons. The bird barnacle community is tough and sturdy and like most has large wings capable of flight, with a massive wingspan of 15 meters . When summoned by either the normal summoning jutsu or by swiping blood on the tattoo and performing a hand seal Songbird will be summoned mid flight soaring high in the sky as it appears from a cloud of smoke. Songbird has been said to be able to fly through anything, what this has been adapted from is the fact that Songbird can swim through normal water like it flies through the air (being made of Barnacles, a water based creature).

Songbird is sensitive to sounds, this can trigger a reaction which would be a threat to the opponent. The User can trigger the reaction by whistling a certain tune only contract signers know and which songbird can hear - this is not in any way a sound jutsu and other barnacle communities, kozui and mecha can whistle this tune if they are on the field also (Triggering it this way costs a Move out of three). However the opponent can also trigger it by using a Sound Release jutsu, a Lightning Technique or a Genjutsu that needs sound as a medium. What comes next is the Songbird's attack, a Divebomb of sorts which has the bird shoot down at great speed, increasing it's weight and solidity through Earth Release to make it drop faster - hitting speeds twice that of base Kage-rank bios. The Bird will not simply swoop the opponent up however, they will full on hit the earth with all it's strength (S-Rank) and this is where the Songbird's second ability comes in. When hitting the Earth Songbird burrows through it like an advanced version of "hiding like a mole technique" not losing it's speed as it drags the opponent through the ground, crushing and bashing them against the rocks. IF the opponent by chance dodges the technique, songbird will pop up later from underneath carrying the opponent into the air and in it's beak and throws the opponent to the ground.

Finally, Songbird flies around the Sky automatically when not attacking, defending against anything that comes from it - solidifying it's body to become that of an S-Rank Earth Defence (at the expense of a move). It flies above the user defending them easily. User can command the bird not to defend if it suits. Like all Barnacles Songbird has a strong calcite shell worth B-rank neutral t the elements except lightning which is strong against it and water which is weak.

- Can only be summoned Once per battle.
- Lasts Four turns on the Field.

Topaz waved at the bird and then used the lonesome horse to carry Alicia and Lorelei towards the outskirts of the village. They managed to reach the northern outskirts of the village, plain green fields were all that waited. Juliana spoke to Alicia, crying passed her words.

"Mummy I don't want to leave you!"

"Take her to the nearest village you can. If it'snot safe keep riding! I will find you my dear!"

Juliana slaps the horse and it takes off over the plain grassy fields. Topaz watches before hearing a grunt, he turns to see Juliana fall to the floor slumped over, a Black one standing behind her his palm open, he had knocked her out. He grinned at Topaz before using his immense speed to close the distance and palm him in the chest, it seemed like a weak strike to begin with - but Topaz's body jerked back and he swear he heard his ribs crack. He stumbled backwards, looking up at this man who had struck them both down. The bandit looked over towards the village and saw about 3 archers on rooftops aiming towards the Grassy plain, Alicia! They knocked their bows and drew. They were waiting for his command, Topaz spun around as he raised and lowered his arm letting the arrows fly towards the helpless toddler and Lorelei. Topaz ran and dove, stretching out his blade. He managed to get in the way of two of the arrows, one in his chest the other in his leg - he tried so hard to stretched out his sword arm to reach the third, but it managed to graze passed, the tip of his sword managed to touch the arrow head but not enough to stop it. The arrow flies passed. He looks back as well as he could, horrified as the arrow continues and hits.... the ground. Right next to the horse but he had put it off it's trajectory enough. Topaz fell to the ground, colliding with the earth, blood seeped from his wounds. The arrow in his chest was going to kill him. The Black One who knocked Juliana looked down at Topaz and picked up his sword, pointing it down towards him with a grin...

Lena made it back to the Village of Mori, flying in on her barnacle creature. She saw the smoke rising from the wooden structures, horror in her eyes she tried to take it in, chest had sunk. An obvious attack from the sea, deception. A foul look crossed her face, utter anger, she picked up speed and her monster shot through the streets of the village. She leaped from it tackling a soldier from his horse punching him rapidly in the face with her left fist, killing him, she pulled her fist from what was left of his head. The barnacle creature continued to run through the village, using it's shell like claws to tear through the flesh of soldiers. Lena ran through one street coming across a large group of soldiers that had cordoned it off, their spears ready she simply shot a barrage of dark threads as a massive clump, impaling them all at once and forcing them to be tied up in this amalgamation of the soldiers and her dark threads. She brings this giant mace over her head and slams it into the ground behind her, crushing more enemies underneath the dark threads and soldiers. It was a mess, but she didn't care. Her threads retracted and she continued her pursuit through the village until she got near the coast, cutting down anyone in her away.

Rank: C-S Rank
Type: Attack/Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15-40
Damage Points: 30-80
Description: The basic technique of Kakuzu's unique Kinjutsu Earth Grudge Fear it allows the user to manipulate the threads that compose his body freely with each use. The user can not only alter his own body form and structure but also use the threads to attack or defend from incoming techniques. As Kakuzu's skin is still stitched to keep his humanoid form when not used, he can take advantage of this technique to propel his hands or limbs at great distances and grab a target. Its also this technique that allows Kakuzu to detach his masks from his own body to form the "animals" which he uses in combat.
Note: Can only be used by Kakuzu

Lena saw Songbird and Hawkeye flying through the air above the Ships. Arrows being traded from either. Hawkeye was landing all her shots whilst these soldiers couldn't get a single hit on her due to Songbird's speed. Though cannons were still being fired from below deck - they needed to deal with the ships. Songbird got low enough for Hawkeye to jump off onto the boat safely, using her bow and arrows to take down two soldiers as she landed. Using another arrow she took out the driver of the boat and then another two to take out an oncoming swordsman and spear-man. Songbird flew over a different boat and then used it's divebomb ability, smashing straight through the middle of the ship causing it to collapse in on itself - it was loud and noisy, mainly screams erupted from that direction. Hawkeye ran up to the ship's wheel taking out another soldier coming down the steps to the deck as she made her way up. Her archery was on point as always, seemed she was much better at taking down these soldiers than they were of her. Upon getting to the wheel she made sure it was clear before steering it, turning it in the direction of another ship. An arrow her the wooden beam in front of the wheel, more soldiers on deck trying to take her out. She used her cover and shot back, taking one out as others tried to attack her. Wood splintered as bullets were shot at her from guns now, though her bow in her hands proved more effective. Hitting every time she shot and when they returned fire it just hit the cover she hit behind. Songbird erupted from the water underneath another boat, shattering it upwards - the wood exploded into the air and rained down into the sea as the bird majestically flew into the air. Her boar then crashed into the final one, cannons fired from it hit the ship she was on and it seemed to be working. They had got the ships attention off the mainland giving anyone on it a chance to run. Hawkeye pushed her luck, she leapt over the cover she was behind firing three arrows one after another, hitting each of her targets perfectly as they were stumbling about. She pushed on the deck trying to get to the edge of the ship she fired another couple of arrows at her targets before diving off the edge. Songbird flew to come and catch her, Hawkeye grinned as she hit the back of the bird before feeling a piercing pain in her back. Songbird screamed as Songbird collapsed on his back. The bird flew away to safety. The ships were put out of commission.

Lena made it to Zeri's house, it was empty and broken. She sighed in relief as she exited, soldiers surrounding her. Just as she was about to tear them a new one horses mowed them down from her left. Confused for a slit second she realised what was happening, villagers from the southern village surrounded by the mountains had come to their aid, cutting down the soldiers with their pitchforks, scythes and bows. There were a lot of them, she didn't realise how well populated they were and that they had horses down there. They charged into the village to clear out of the rest of them. Lena went with them, though she made her way to the town hall. Lena leapt from rooftop to rooftop throwing the odd card at a soldier from them until she reached the townhall she jumped high and cannon-balled through the ceiling's window. Rolling onto the wooden second floor she sent out a barrage of cards in all directions, which homed in on the soldiers occupying it. She stood and ran towards the balcony edge, flying kicking a man through the railing and landed on the ground floor's main hall, a few soldiers here.

One swung for her from behind, she ducked and spun around expelling a wind blast from her mouth that struck the attacker's stomach sending him drilling backwards into another and through the wooden wall outside. Two attacked from beside her and she jumped performing a hardliner revolving cut to his head, cartwheeling him into the man who decided to attack simultaneously beside him. She landed, the other soldiers around her had been taken care of. Viola stood there over the men she knocked out and gave Lena a backup salute. The doors to the main hall opened and a man walked from it, armoured with two swords. He was flanked by two others in similar attire, but clearly grunts carrying a single sword. It was the man from before, that had killed Jinx.

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.

"Ah, you're the woman who caused a fuss in Degarashi Port. I had slain your accomplice, and I shall do so again." Captain Irukashev's attention turned to Viola as the two flanking him charged Lena. She easily took them out, their lightning blades were not enough to stop her, she knew she'd have to cut through them to get to him quickly. As they approached she performed two hand seals and waved her arm in a line in front of her creating an array of explosions in a line in front of her, catching the two within it and sending them flying and dead - their insides destroyed by the dark release. Lena charges through the smoke, but on the other side the Captain was not. She turns to Viola, but it was too late. The Captain had instantly closed the distance without waiting, his swords both within Viola - she had no chance, lightning crackled from her torso - she looked towards Lena and nodded. Viola hugged the Captain and Lena screamed out before Viola exploded erupting the two in the explosion. Lena flew backwards and hit the wall. She slowly got up coughing as the smoke cleared, Viola was dead and the Captain with her. So she though until he charged out from the smoke and sliced his sword across her stomach, Lena looked down shocked as she took the hit - the Captain looked up at her, an anger in his eyes through the crack of his visor - his armour was battered.

(Fujitsuboātsu : Gajettofujitsubo) - Barnacle Arts : Gadget Barnacle
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: C
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: N/A (+15 for summoning)
Damage Points: (+30 Spider-cle)(+30 Corrupt-cle)
Description:
The user will perform one handseal and summon what seems to be a generic Acorn Barnacle about they size of a coin in their hand, this isn't a summon and just a barnacle art that the user can use. The user can throw this Acorn Barnacle onto a target and it will permanently bind to it as long as it is solid (Person, Summon, Rock etc), the Gadget Barnacle has a number of effects and can only use one.

Source-cle
This Barnacle is used to bring up sources that may be needed depending on the user and their abilities. For example if the user is a water user then the source-cle will be thrown and it will release a puddle of water that will splash on the ground (can also be used as a C-rank water defence). Also creates an Ink Source if needed, (Puddle of Ink) or a source for Dark Release; The shell is gripped in the palm of the user's hand and the chakra is absorbed straight into the user capable of utilising one Dark Technique with it. Creates a Flame from the opening of the shell if that is a required source (Makeshift Lighter), can be used as a Mist Bomb which creates a small veil big enough to hide a couple of persons.

Spider-cle
Six tendrils will act as legs from the Shell and be able to move around, capable of carrying an item like a Shuriken or Kunai, Scroll or a Message (For RP use in the Ninja World) in a couple of their tendrils whilst the other four are used to move around. The Spider however is also a Bomb, is basically an explosive device that can be exploded at any time, before sticking to a target or after it. It creates a C-Rank explosion with a radius of 2 meters, the explosion isn't enough to kill and only blow the opponent away and cause minor burns. It can either be a Flame Explosion, Wind, or Lightning. The spider-cle moves at the same as their user's base speed.


Weapon-cle
The Acorn Barnacle actually becomes a powerful transformation, taking the shape of a weapon of the user's choosing. They can withstand up to C-Rank Elements before breaking, the barnacle can transform into a pair of weapons splitting the rank into D-Rank each.

Corrupt-cle
The Acorn Barnacle will be thrown at the ground where it will attach to it permanently with it's natural ability too, through this natural ability they have gained a knowledge and sort of affinity to earth of sorts. So the Earth is taken control by the barnacle and they will manipulate it into a 2 foot earth golem, it is capable of communication with the user and attacking with it's mouth and fists - like the Bomb-cle this acts like a C-Rank earth technique.

- These don't have to be summoned, they can already be on the user if stated in the bio.
- Body of the Thoracica and Legs of the Thoracica can be used through a Gadget Barnacle
- Barnacle Community Summons like "Oregon", "Barbaracle" can use Gadget Barnacles from their body.
- To use Varieties like Ink and Dark of the Source-cle then you have to be a user in that form of Ninjutsu
- Using One Gadget Barnacle costs a turn
- Must have signed the Barnacle Contract
- Can only use two different types of Gadget per turn
- Cannot use the same type more than once a turn

The Captain may have been angry, but Lena was on a different level. She looked down at her belly which was cut open and then at the Captain. From her stomach she released a torrent of threads that caught him within it and slammed him against the opposite wall. Lena dragged him up high against the wall, pushing the threads up against him crushing him slowly as dark leaked out from the palms on her hands. The dark slowly covered her body, engulfing her in the chakra, turning her into something else - her figure still the same, but a new personality had become her as she more clearly grinned with sorrow. The lady looked up at her prey and cupped her chin.

"Oh Captain, you seem to be in a bit of a tight spot."

He cursed at her before erupting lightning around him, his blades glowed and the threads around him were turned to nothing. The rest of them retracted back into Lena's body. The cut on her belly resealed and horns grew out of her forehead.

"W-What are you?"

"Hmm, You mean who dear? I'm still kind of Human... Though I think like this I'd prefer the name...."

As Lena monologued the Captain charged his blades and body with lightning and shot at her, she was still thinking of a name, as the captain sliced through her. Though his blades just hit her body, lightning absorbed straight into her. She glowed blue for a moment before returning to the deep purple state she was in. Grinning at the Captain's failed advance.

"...The sorrow in your eyes. It's beautiful... OH THATS IT! That will be my name!"

The Captain let go of his blades and thrust his hands above his head after performing a bunch of hand seals creating a giant lightning sword above his head from both his palms. Lena looked up with a grin at the blade as he brought it down on her, she raised her hand and spoke,

"Call me Lord Sorrows."

From outside of the Town hall the lightning exploded as it impacted Lord Sorrows, the building almost exploding completely, but only the windows shattered and wood around it splintered allowing the energy to vent from the holes left in the town hall. The Captain was breathing heavily, but Lord Sorrows was in front of him with a smile on her face standing up straight a hand on her chin.

"Oops. That's a shame. Let me show you mine."

Lord Sorrows opened up her arms like a mother welcoming a hug, before she radiated in chakra and unleashed a blast from each of her tenketsu. A Wave of Dark chakra decimated the area around her, leaving a massive hole in the Town hall and blowing away the Captain. He was dead, the town hall was a bit dead, what was left was the bell town and the entrance, the walls between and roof were destroyed. She left a silhouette of the orb that had destroyed it in the structure. Though it looked as though if one were to touch it it would collapse in on itself. Lord Sorrows had a pair of dark wings erupt from her back with two dark orbs at the center of both wings. She flew up into the air high above the village to get a good look at what was happening.

"Hmm, seems like Zeri and the rest of the Villagers have joined in on the fighting. The villagers of Oka-Wan might've just saved Mori, bye bye soldiers. No fun left to be had, and I've only just arrived." Sorrows turns to face the sea, "The boats have all been dealt with too!? Aww Damn, I guess I could finish them off."

(Jiongu: Kuro Ito) - Earth Grudge Fear: Dark Threads (A-Rank)
Rank: C-S Rank
Type: Attack/Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15-40
Damage Points: 30-80
Description: The basic technique of Kakuzu's unique Kinjutsu Earth Grudge Fear it allows the user to manipulate the threads that compose his body freely with each use. The user can not only alter his own body form and structure but also use the threads to attack or defend from incoming techniques. As Kakuzu's skin is still stitched to keep his humanoid form when not used, he can take advantage of this technique to propel his hands or limbs at great distances and grab a target. Its also this technique that allows Kakuzu to detach his masks from his own body to form the "animals" which he uses in combat.
Note: Can only be used by Kakuzu

(Meiton: Mikoto no Yabun) – Dark Release: Lords of the Outer Night
Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will focus their chakra into the mark on their hand to release their dark chakra from within it. It will pour out and momentarily coat their body before fusing into it. The purpose of this is for the user’s body to undergo an elemental conversion, namely a transformation into dark chakra. The dark chakra will be condensed to the point it behaves as “solid” similar to techniques like Water Release: Sword of Draining and so they will be susceptible to attack from solid elements such as Earth Release. The violet-coloured form they assume will possess all of the traits and attributes of Meiton such as the ability to absorb chakra and certain elemental techniques. They will be capable of absorbing attacks following Dark’s elemental S/W (B-Ranks for weaknesses, A-Ranks for neutrals and S-Ranks for strengths). If the user is struck by an attack that exceeds this such as A-Rank water, they will be forced out of their transformation and sustain the full damage of the technique which struck them. Even solid elements such as Earth or Steel will be capable of interacting with and harming them in this form due to it’s previously mentioned tangibility. Upon contact with living beings, the user will be capable of siphoning chakra from their body (20 per strike). The real utility of this form is exhibited when certain conditions are met. For each technique absorbed while this is active, all of the user’s techniques gain +5 damage per absorption and the duration of this transformation is extended by two turns. While this is active, the user can only use Dark, the elements which compose it, any CE based on them and non-elemental abilities.

Note: Lasts four turns and can only be used twice per battle
Note: No A-Rank or above Dark on the turn this ends
Note: No A-Rank or above Fire or Lightning on the turn it ends
Note: Cannot be used whilst restricting the opponent's Earth Release in any way.

Meiton: Shinki Chūmon - Dark Release: New Order
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: S-rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: Invented by one of the most well known Dark users in the Ninja world, New Order deals in the user spreading his dark chakra throughout his whole body after having first absorbed an enemy's technique using the inhaling maw jutsu. This means that every tenketsu in his system will be occupied with the dark chakra, making each chakra point glow in a purple-like glow. With a mental command, this new accumulated chakra will come out from every part of the user's body in an unfocused Dark burst, in the form of an omni-directional 'blast' of dark. The sheer force of this burst will have enough force to knock an adult male over and do internal damage to their body should they be within the range of this attack. The main use of New Order is to actually "refresh" the user's system chakra and in order to do well in combat against heavy Genjutsu users. Once the user finds a logical reasoning as to why he's caught in the Genjutsu, the burst of Dark chakra will give a "new order" to his chakra system and thus effectively breaking out of the illusionary technique. This will only work on A-rank and below Genjutsu techniques and can only be used twice a battle, due to the exhaustion the technique provides.

Note:
-Cannot be used consecutively, as it has a two turn wait before using again.
-The technique can also be used even when there is no Genjutsu put on the user. The offensive capabilities of the technique are qualified enough to kill a human.
-Can only be taught by Klad

(Metion: Giji Oni Uyuko) Dark Release: Pseudo Demon Wings
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 40(15 per turn)
Damage: 80
Description: After having absorbed the physical and spiritual natures of a jutsu before hand through the means of any dark absorbing based jutsu, the user will released the newly found power in the form of dark chakra that travels out from both of their markings on each palm. The chakra will travel from their palms to their upper back and take the form of large self sustaining pitch black demonic wings that allows them not only flight(flight speed is the same as the users speed) but also other abilites. The wings themselves span 7 ft across and have 2 purple/black medium sized, condensed orbs of dark chakra at the center of each of them making a total of 4 orbs. The orbs located on each wing can be shot off one at a time or multiple at a time, and with simply hand gestures of the user they can be controlled how the user sees fit. Upon impact, the orbs have enough force behind them to break bones, rupture organs, and knock the opponent backwards as the orb(s) erupt into a maelstrom of violent flames that reach up to short range, but have S-Rank power.

- Can only be taught by Albel
- Can only be used once per battle
- The wings being self sustained drain 15 chakra points per turn.
- By using one of the allowed 3 moves the user can use the wings to evade a jutsu within reason, and can only be done once per turn
- No dark jutsus in the same turn the wings are made and none above A-rank the following turn

930 -15 -30 =885

885 -40 -15 -20 -30 -30 -40 -40 -40 (885 - 255) =630

Smith, well his secondary personality stood atop the wall lost in a wash of pride, arrogance and pure self-importance. He was so lost to it he didn't realize how easy this all was. How every shinobi fell before him, how every Hangurian Black One died so quickly. How the bears and birds fled without a care. He thought he was that good, that strong, no longer the weak child who watched his tribe be eaten while his village burned.
He thought this was already over when in fact it hadn't even begun in truth. That was when Smith watched the general begin to break to dust. Smith watched as Lena gripped the man by the collar and shook him as parts of his body fell to the ground a mess of dirt, dust, and ash. Smith's eyes furrowed further in anger, contempt and a swelling rage. The primary personality called out to him through the moment of tension.

We don't have the time for this egotistical bullshit.

GO NOW! LORELEI!


The primary personality barked out to himself, it was vocal and guttural like a cornered beast or animal. He assumed he was in control, but he wasn't. All that work, all that thinking, and he was outmaneuvered so quickly. Then the thought pierced into his mind. How could a Goliath with no formal education out think an army with some of the best strategists in the civilized world!?
He could sense them now encroaching upon the shore. It seems like they had come by sea. How could he not see this? He would have done something similar. He had failed again, all he could do now was clean up his mess. It was just like that day, so distracted by himself he let something slip past his guard, past him and into the place he was supposed to be protecting. He thought about how these people and how Lena must think of him. His primary personality was too busy thinking of how best to damage control this situation.

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

(Senninka: Tsuyoi Uyoku of Illidan) - Sage Transformation: The Mighty Wings of Illidan
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short-Mid (when used to attack)
Chakra: 30 (+10 to sustain per turn)
Damage: 60 (when used to attack)
Description: A member of Jugo's clan uses their Sage Transformation ability to form two fleshy bat-like wings on his back. These wings can sustain flight and can be sustained for an entire battle as long as he remains conscious. The wings can be used to attack the opponent directly using sharp hook like growths from their tips, these hooks are claw-like in nature. Like most of the Jugo clan's jutsu these can be sustained as long as he has enough chakra to do so. The user can create boosters on their back once per battle that last for three turns. The boosters can be used to avoid incoming techniques by quickly changing the user's trajectory and moving them out of the way just like the Jet Booster Jump technique. This can only be done thrice per battle and counts as a move each time but can be done in the same timeframe as another technique. The user flies at their current running speed.

Note: Can only be used thrice.
Note: The boosters can only be maintained for three turns and created once, the wings can be sustained indefinitely.
Note: Courtesy of Howard
The noise cut through the area directly around him as a popping noise could be heard as the bones of his back and shoulders shifted and stuttered sounding like they were breaking and reforming. Two large fleshy bat-like wings forced their way out from his back as he lifted his hands holding his face downward looking toward the ground with his hands buried in his hands.
He gripped his face as if lost to his an inner nature his body twisting and warping as he ran forward taking three steps forward leaping from the wall flying forward with Salazzle hanging on tightly to his neck, shoulder, and collar-bone. He extended his arms outward perpendicular to his body as he rushed forward flying in above Lena flapping his wings in a rushed manner. He used his sensing afforded by Sage Mode to pinpoint Lorelei and as fast as he could he flew toward her his face bent into a stern grimace, as he surveyed the area.

Love, I haven't said anything in a while. Are you okay?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Ohhh you can fly? That's neat but you have to warn a girl next time.


Smith seemed erratic as he flew forward a few feet above the creature Lena had summoned forth and Lena herself He kept a bit of distance but he still surveyed the area thoroughly, noticing the boats approaching from the water and the people as they began to flee. It caused a momentary lapse in his mind as he remembered back to everything he had faced in the past. He thought it was all behind him but every damn day something reminded him of it.
Every day no matter what part of the world he was in or the people he surrounded himself with those small flashes of home, and more than that, the specific day he lost it all. He said something to himself as the group flew directly over the city as he divebombed bringing his arms together and slamming downward toward the ground as he thought back to his bounty from a month ago. You wanted Sado? Well, you got him.
As Smith slammed down upon the ground there was a shinobi directly below his path near the house he was shown earlier where Lorelei was now. The man was rushing up to the house with a blade using a small alleyway to hide his travel while charging forward he extended the blade to swing at Viola who was now at the door knocking on it in what seemed like a hurried and quick pace. With an incredible amount of force, Smith slammed down upon the man in the same armor as the Black Ones. This abruptly crushed him under the weight as the hooked-tips of his previously formed wings ruptured into his back as the wings turned slightly surrounded them both in a dark shroud.
The blade-like growths tore through the shinobi's back and shoulders as he yelled out in pain and terror dropping his sword a few feet away from Viola's left shoulder. The blade clattered to the ground as blood sprayed across a cobblestone wall the whole exchange obfuscated from view by the wings and the dark alleyway. Smith realized that his enemies were already tearing through this small city and again it was his fault for becoming complacent, the only thing he did well, he couldn't do right. He thought that to admit it to others, or even his other personality would make them think less of him but this is where he liked being. He liked watching his enemies be torn apart by his hands, and wings, and any other body parts.
He had fun killing the people who would stand against him, but right now he was so lost to anger he couldn't even enjoy himself to the fullest. The body he had torn to pieces dropped and he stood a fair distance away as he waited a few feet behind Viola looking on for Lorelei as his tattered wings spread open behind him.

Battle of Shinramoto - Wave 3
Of Monsters and Men.

In unison, to Lorelei opening the door Smith scooped up the sword forming two runic seals on the blade of the sword crafting two very basic seals. He formed a large mass of gaseous, and liquid poison as the runes formed sealing away both portions into the blade to be activated later. With the blade in his left hand, he formed two more seals upon the opposite side of the blade that connected to the previous two holding the blade out to Salazzle. Look, I have to go kill a lot of people. I can't take her with me. If she saw half of the things I do-... if someone attacks have her hold out the sword. It'll defend her and it will alert me.
He was speaking to Salazzle but she already understood slightly from their hidden area in the alleyway next to the small home. She grabbed the short-sword which was about the size of her entire body and crawled down from Smith's body jumping outward from the alleyway toward Lorelei and Viola. Salazzle spoke with a stern matronly tone toward Lorelei. Honey, we have to go now. There's no time for this. Smith said go now.

( Han'you Fūin ) - Generic Sealing Technique
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary , Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique is a standard ninja skill which allows a ninja to summon an assortment of items or weapons that have been stored using Fūinjutsu,typically they are stored within scrolls. When needed, the owner will activate the seals releasing their item or weapon of choice. Scrolls can also be used as ammunition for other weapons. The items themselves are unaffected by time. This Technique allows the user to seal any weapons they wish being their own or opponents.
Note: Cannot seal opponent's custom weapons, or the special weapons of a particular character ( example: Samehada or Kubikiribocho ).
Note: Can only seal corpses, and not injured people regardless of the extent of their injury.
( Fuinjutsu: Sairentoarāmu ) - Sealing Arts: Silent Alarm
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30 ( +3 to the caster when broken )
Damage: N/A ( 60 if an element is sealed away )
Description: A seal that does exactly what the name suggests creating a silent alarm when triggered. The user is able to place a seal upon a surface such as a weapon, a door, a window, a tree, or a circular area within range on the ground that has a five meter radius. This seal has an intuitive link to the creator through their chakra signature and their chakra supply itself similar to a shadow clone, and when broken has similar effects to the dispersal of a shadow clone as explained further in the technique. Until the seal is broken an alarm alerts the caster whenever a creature touches or enters the warded area. This is similar to techniques like (Kyōkai Kekkai no Jutsu) - Boundary Barrier Technique but doesn't require the user remain inside the area of the barrier or seal to know when it detects something. This is a mental alarm alerting the creator when the seal is broken. When the seal breaks it will merely return ten percent of the chakra used to create the seal to the user along with all of the information of what has happened in the warded area including things that have entered the area or techniques that have been used. The seal breaks when the alarm is triggered to facilitate this action, and can even be accompanied by a barrage of sealed weapons or a substance such as ink, water, fire, or poison to combat the intruder. If done in this way the user must seal the substance with ( Han'you Fūin ) - Generic Sealing Technique beforehand, they can then create another link connecting the Kanji of that seal with the new Silent Alarm seal. What this means is when the alarm seal is triggered the released chakra will instantly activate the other seal as they become intertwined in a sort of "push" and "pull" relationship. Contrary to this if someone breaks the ( Han'you Fūin ) - Generic Sealing Technique seal to try and "disarm" the trap, the alarm seal is instantly triggered as well alerting the creator. The seal breaks when foreign chakra, natural energy from a person, or a touch should the alarm try to be nullified. This action is passive and is the seal itself activating the trap meaning if the person who created the seal is nearby they could attack in tandem to it. The aim of this is to give the seal creator time to react to the intruder or even produce an offensive should they have the time. Upon breaking the connected seal will release what was sealed inside of it in a large mass roughly the size of the Water Prison Technique in a forward torrent releasing an A ranks worth of the substance (follows S/W) upon the person who broke the seal.
Note: When initially using ( Han'you Fūin ) - Generic Sealing Technique to seal a substance a move is used, but the seal activates it passively afterward
Note: The user can place and have three alarm seals active but only two can be trap based
Note: The opponent will always have time to react to the sealed element/substance
(Doku Sōzō) Poison Creation
Type: Offensive
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A (60 possible physical damage on impact, rest depends on the poison)
Description:
The user is able to take an existing sample of a given poison and manipulate it with his chakra, increasing is quantity and replicating it. Basically, much like one does with water release an a water source, the user is able to use a small sample of poison to, from it, create waves, projectiles, etc if the poison is liquid or a dust, clouds, gusts, mists, etc if the poison is a gas. This technique, however, cannot create poison out of nothing, only manipulate existing poison from a sample or source.
Note: the original sample or source needs to be within short range of the user.
As Salazzle did that Smith burst back upward into the air away from the home, he couldn't see Lorelei right now. Even with the seal in place separating his personalities they were seeping together. At least that's what he told himself to keep his stoic and violent demeanor. He flew through the streets picking up a few Black Ones who had begun tearing through anyone in their path and with one in each hand he flew high into the air roughly mid-range from the ground as he slammed their bodies together like cymbals crashing them together and then dropping them down upon the ground. Their twisted mass of flesh and bone slammed down upon a third shinobi crushing him under the weight. As thie happened he heard a loud echoing "CRASH!" as a cannonball tore through the home a ways away by now.
As this happened something snapped in his mind finally as his entire body began to warp and twist, his body becoming a mangled form of sharp points, blades, and deformed flesh and bone. Both of his eyes were pitch black as his body completely shifted to the form of a demonic creature. Through all the struggle with the attack upon Lorelei's current position his control over himself and the natural energy flowing into him shattered as he lost all control. He immediately saw where the cannonball had erupted from. His eyes pinpointed a boat off the side of the harbor while his muscles and bone continued to buckle forming into numerous vent-like protuberances. A strange nature began to gather at the vents as a noise could be heard high in the sky like a charging weapon. Smith concentrated a vast amount of chakra and natural energy through the booster-like vents as finally, the repugnant green energy slammed forward with a booming noise cutting through the entire battlefield garnering a large amount of attention from the Hangurian Black Ones who had been tearing through people that stood before them. HAHAHAHA!
He was laughing, in a boisterous tone as the energy whipped outward through the air toward the boat but there were tears streaming down his face. The only thing he was created for and he had failed yet again, his life was nothing but a culmination of many failures. His only job was to protect that woman and gather information and he couldn't even do that. The beam of energy tore through the boat as it splintered the wood and tossed several of the canons from their position nearly vaporizing a dozen or so Black Ones as the ship began to capsize sinking rather quickly taking down with it a few dozen Hangurian Black Ones.

(Kansei Senninka) - Complete Sage Transformation
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40 (-15 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: Sage Transformation (Senninka) is an ability wielded by Jūgo's clan, which increases their physical abilities and allows their bodies to perform various shape-shifting feats due to their innate ability to passively absorb natural energy. It is a multifaceted ability that permits them to achieve feats ranging from creating various weapon-like appendages to altering their body structure, as well as a general increase in their physical capabilities. The user can fully infuse his body with the gathered natural energy and transform it completely. When he fully transforms, the user gains a massive power boost but loses his mind to his murderous side, signified by a change in his voice. When transforming, the user's body changes color and his sclera turns black. Each member's full transformation appears differently, ranging from different types of horns to stripes across the face. In this full form, the user is incredibly resilient, being able to take Taijutsu attacks up to B-Rank with little damage and being able to function even when severely injured. He can further manipulate his body into suitable weapons and manifest chakra cannons from it to attack with powerful chakra blasts. He can manifest chakra boosters from his extremeties to power his taijutsu moves or to "dash" in speed or even to soften a fall. His physical strength becomes greatly increased, adding +25 to his Taijutsu techniques and his chakra becomes stronger, adding +10 to his elemental chakra. He becomes faster and can regenerate minor wounds easily. His resilience is such that he can take C-Rank Ninjutsu and not suffer hindering damage. Because of his rage and his anger, he becomes unable to use techniques that would otherwise require precise chakra control such as Genjutsu, Fuuinjutsu or similar complex fields/techniques. After its deactivated or deactivates as it times out, the user is left drained of his stamina and unable to use Taijutsu techniques for 2 turns.
Note: Lasts 6 turns and can only be used twice.
(Senninka: Chakra Bakuhastu) - Sage Transformation: Chakra Blast
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80 ( +20 ) = 100
Description: While in his Complete Sage Transformation, the user grows more of his jet booster like appendages, extends them, and then uses them to gather chakra which then forms a huge powerful chakra blast.
Smith already didn't like these people, he nearly hated Takauji but now they had possibly killed his only tether to existence. Without that woman, he had no reason to be, a clone without an objective who had existed for way too long. His body and mind sank into a state of instinct.
He lowered his body to the ground dropping his wings to his sides as several shinobi rushed toward him with blades drawn. They had just witnessed this monster obliterate an entire ship but they were too dumb to realize that there was no thought left in this beast's mind. It was just a mass of poignant aggression and rage. As they approached in a group surrounding him from all sides about ten of them lashed out toward him with swords, bows, and kunai tossing them at him in a flurry of steel and sound as several let loose a slew of bolts. Smith roared outward as the swords closed in and the kunai, and bolts followed behind extremely quickly. As they approached darkness began to surround him as he directed every ounce of hatred, rage, and aggression into a state of thoughtless reflection. A state only accessible to him and his duality of control and instability. It was similar to the meditation needed to enter Sage Mode but it was different it was his body and mind working together in unison a state of self-preservation. The darkness seemed to solidify into a solid substance that rushed outward in a billowing mass as the bolts, kunai and sword strikes hit true but were immediately blocked and made useless.
Smith turned his upper body as his constructed arms whipped outward in a circular manner tearing through all ten of the Black Ones each one being bisected at the waist as they took several steps forward as the momentum carried them forward. The clawed shadowy hands extended out far past his normal grasp a man would have and tore through their bodies. Then in an instant, their top halves sloughed off of the numerous body in a sickly spray of blood and viscera. What was left was a wraith shrouded in darkness and despair the emotions literally becoming a barrier of darkness and hatred Natural Energy corrupted by hate and rage. As the darkness continued to spread outward over the harbor it would choke the life from several Hangurian Black Ones as they breathed in pulling the strange substance into their lungs causing damage merely by being in the darkness he created. His body and chakra would all but vanish from sensors as they'd be unable to see or sense him unless they had some form of natural energy training. Smith flapped his wings three times bolting forward as he flew upward releasing a burst of chakra from one of the numerous vents on his body rushing further toward the harbor moving as a mass of rolling darkness upon the harbor and then the ocean.
The miasma forced its way out onto the ocean surrounding the ships in a blanket of darkness as it continued to choke the life out of various Black Ones as they tried to make their way onto the land to siege the city. With a demonic vigor, Smith roared outward again with a tone of despair and agony. He slammed his hands forward directly upon a ship as the ethereal cloak ruptured through it piercing through the ship as he swung his arms again tearing a large gash in the side of the hull.
The ship swayed upon the ocean as it began to sink sucking in water and pulling everyone and everything on it under the waves. Smith turned to the south allowing the miasma to fade seeing Lena tearing through her own problems. At this moment with his appearance, he could even be confused for a jinchuriki in an imperfect state shrouded in a defensive energy shield similar to that created by a bijuu and their jinchuriki.

(Senpo/Senninka: Illidari no Kokonotsu no Toku) - Sage Art/Sage Transformation: Nine Virtues of the Illidari
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 40 (+20 to extend miasma)
Damage: 80
Description: This technique allows a Sage Transformation clansmen to control and use the natural energy they obtain when in Sage Mode by surrounding their body in a dense shell of natural energy corrupted by their intense rage, hate and anger masking their presence in a dark nearly vanta black aura of corrupted natural energy akin to the chakra released by a Curse Mark recipient. To do this the user would need to release natural energy from every pore of their body as they do this it becomes solidified into a corrupted form surrounding their body in darkness masking the presence of chakra making them meld into the natural energy aura all throughout the world making them invisible to chakra sensing, sharingan, and byakugan they can however still be seen by the naked eye due to the visible natural energy just sensing through chakra is jammed. Only those who have trained in natural energy are able to perceive the veil of natural energy as anything other than a dark black cloud of impenetrable mist. The miasma cannot be blown away by wind as it's a form of corrupted natural energy.
This aura works as a corrupted version of the basic cloak given by Sage Mode, but is a more solid variation. It works as a defensive aura that blocks various types of attacks stopping them from making direct contact with the user instead making contact with the natural energy shell that surrounds their body being able to stop A rank elemental ninjutsu and below completely and stalemating an elemental S rank attack once. The aura can also defend from S rank taijutsu, kenjutsu or weapon based ninjutsu and will be stalemated by a Forbidden ranked variation of any of these. The aura can be fed more natural energy to extend this aura out like the Hiding in Mist technique creating a massive black miasma that masks the users presence even further as they visually slip into this miasma and the arms and legs of the aura can be extended to attack from a distance sort of like how a Sage Transformation clansmen can extend their arms and legs. Due to the natural energy being released from their body at all times they are able to sense everything inside of the miasma differentiating chakra sources, people, techniques and animals. The miasma harms anything that is inside of it excluding the user and can fill an entire battlefield. This can only be used by a Sage Transformation clansmen who knows Sage Mode.
Note: Must be in a form of Sage Mode to activate and can be used once
Note: Lasts four turns.
Meanwhile, the cannonball had rocked the house as it tore through it shattering the walls and the home itself shaking it to its core. Salazzle had just made it to Lorelei and had explained what to do with the sword when this happened. It knocked Lorelei unconscious and Salazzle was thrown from her body a few feet away. She rushed back to Lorelei dragging the sword with her. It was heavy and cumbersome. Couldn't he have thought to use something else? Like a kunai or something? Why a short-sword? She scurried up to Lorelei and began to shake her upper body and head it was unresponsive she didn't seem dead but she was surely knocked for a loop. Salazzle continued to try and help as Alicia and Juliana picked Lorelei up and began to carry her through the rubble.
Salazzle clung to Lorelei's left leg holding the sword with her tail pulling it along behind the woman. As Topaz rushed in grabbed Lorelei and tossed her over his shoulder Salazzle noticed most of the people weren't paying attention to her. She didn't have time for petty jealousy though as she tried to remain close to Lorelei as her unconscious body was loaded onto a horse she noticed a man attacking both Topaz and Juliana.
As the man lowered his sword toward Topaz Salazzle spun her entire body three times tossing the short sword outward toward Topaz as it clattered against the sword that was pointed down toward him. As this happened the sigils activated creating a torrential blast of poison first liquid than gaseous that blasted into the aggressor tearing his arm from its socket and poisoning him with the grimy orange poison that clung to his body. The sword landed directly in front of Topaz within arm's reach as Salazzle called out to the man. He knows now!~ Cheers boy~

As the seal activated all of the information had been returned to Smith, the fact that Lorelei was alive but unconscious. What had happened to Topaz and Juliana and what Salazzle had been doing. Along with this his demeanor seemed to change as he was tearing through the final ship's hull screaming out like a beast. His etherial hands tore through the wooden hull as the ship began to sink he turned and began to fly toward the outskirts of the city using the boosters on his back and body to increase his flight speed.
As he traveled through the city like a ghoulish wraith he extended his arms outward cutting through numerous soldiers. His mind was slowly returning to him as he killed more and more eviscerating various opponents. He would drag his extended cloak-based arms along the ground ripping rock and rubble up as he tore through a few more of the soldiers.

What the **** is that!?

The boss didn't say anything about a fucking ghost.

Nah man that's one of them jinchuriki.

Two soldiers were running for their lives arguing about just what Smith was. One believed he was a supernatural creature the other thought he was a jinchuriki it didn't matter because as they continued to run Smith extended out his arms gripping both by their backs lifting them into the air. He ripped them to pieces as the gore splashed out sending pieces of them raining down upon a group of Black Ones.
The more squeamish of them threw up in disgust. As Smith continued to fly at a brake-neck pace toward where he knew Topaz and Juliana were in danger. He landed directly in front of Topaz as he looked down upon the man who had shot at Lorelei and the children. He tilted his head to the left as the shroud of darkness did the same tilting it's head.
You must be registered for see images
The **** do you think you are?

Without a word Smith pounced forward using a low stance to jump upon the man in front of him. He used the shroud to begin tearing into him using his hands and shroud to pierce into his flesh. He dug into the man like a beast playing with it's prey. Like a tiger tearing through a kill. His hands swayed and ripped into and through the man creating crevices in the ground as directly in front of Topaz this man was reduced to a mount of blood, bone and viscera. All that could be heard from the wraith-like creature was it's breathing shallow, quick breaths in and out. A somber and scary scene and tone as it looked around for Lorelei seeing she was safe because of Topaz and Juliana.

( Za Danshingu Shiro Tora ) - The Dancing White Tiger
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 80
Description: The user assumes a low stance and positions their hands to mimic claws. By pouncing on a target the user is able to deliver tiger claw strikes that can dig into and then tear out a target’s flesh. Though the attacks are extremely deadly against lightly armored targets they cannot pierce through heavy armor.
It reached it's left hand out toward him as it turned and stood up straight. It then lowered it's body and hands toward Topaz and Juliana. With it's hands extended out to them both, even if they tried to move away he quickly placed a palm on them trying to heal them quickly. The arrows "popped" out of Topaz's chest as the wounds closed and Smith tried to raise Juliana to consciousness healing her minor and moderate wounds. By this point the primary personality had been screaming at himself the entire time trying to get the beast to pay attention to him. He wasn't listening it was just a mindless drone. He was trapped within his own body watching everything this demon did. The stories that would be told about him frightened him. He was already being paraded as a demon in the story that had traveled around the world. This would just solidify that in the public's consciousness. STOP! YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH!

( Iryō Ninjutsu: Shōsen Jutsu ) - Medical Technique: Mystic Palm Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A (2x the amount of damage healed)
Damage: N/A
Description: This medical ninjutsu allows the user to speed up the body's natural healing process by focusing chakra onto their hands, forming an aura of greenish chakra which he then sends into a wound or afflicted body part. This allows the user to heal a patient without the need for medical equipment or surgery, making it very useful on the battlefield. It can be used to treat both external and internal injuries. It is vital to match the amount of chakra used to the severity of the affliction or injury. This requires a great amount of chakra control. Because of this, only a few highly skilled medical-nin are able to use this technique. The limitation of the technique is that it cannot regrow missing body parts or remove with poisons or toxins, though it can heal damage by them. Additionally, perhaps its more severe drawback is the chakra cost, which is much higher than any other medical technique. For each damage point the user of the technique wishes to heal, he needs to spend twice as much chakra. Basically, for x amount of damage the user needs to spend 2x amount of chakra to repair/heal. The user can also use this technique on himself and it can be used with one hand or two and even in two targets at a time or while using another technique with the other hand. The speed of the healing is fast but not instant.
Note: Can be used on up to 2 targets.
Note: Can only be used by Medical Ninja.
However he didn't have time to sit around and continue healing as he turned and bolted away toward the city directing people where to go. The secondary personality was completely ignoring the primary at this point. He might as well be screaming at a wall. Most of the civilians were terrified of his form but he was making sure they had their chances to flee as he tried to hold off any remaining Black Ones. The people he had healed would both feel a lot better after he healed them but they wouldn't be completely healed as there wasn't time for that. He continued to tear through soldier after soldier his rage had nearly subsided and he had his wits about him now but this wasn't over.
The light had begun to return to his eyes as the darkness surrounding him began to fade away as did the transformation he had undergone. They were forms only he could take due to his lineage compounded with his training. There was nothing left but one man who was squaring off with Lena. High in the air, Smith flapped his wings returned to his normal form he watched the battlefield. Too much collateral damage he thought. This wasn't what he wanted, this wasn't-... it.
He had plans but they were overturned. However, this was just one ally he had and she and he together could do this much? Takauji was in for it once the real Sado gathered his forces as the fight continued on between Lena and the final shinobi the secondary personality retreated into its mind as it began to communicate with the primary.
Its voice trembled slightly for the first time it wasn't sure in itself. It enjoyed every single moment of what it had done but it was over the top even for him. The numerous monsterous forms were strange and off-putting, showing him just how dark his heritage was.

You know, I had to. They wouldn't have stopped. They would have killed everyone in their way.

Like-... like I do.


In the shared consciousness, the primary personality had seen everything that happened. It had all of the same information the secondary had. He couldn't fault the secondary personality for doing what it had. It was what it had to do. Smith's personalities were torn between what they had done, and what they should have done. He killed thoughtlessly this entire time, just like he was taught as a Goliath.
Finally, the shift happened and the primary personality took control again. It seemed the secondary one was done. It needed to rest and think in its own space. It had things to deal with. I know. Were the only words the primary personality said before it was back in control. Smith waited for Lena to finish her battle flapping his wings high above the battlefield. He looked back down toward Lorelei, Salazzle, Topaz and Juliana. As Lorelei came to consciousness she looked up and they locked eyes for a moment.
Smith broke eye contact quickly and went back to watching everything else at least he didn't seem to be the only monster on the field as he realized just what Lena had been doing in tandem to the things he was doing.​
