The Beginning of my Mission starts here;

-Survive a near-death situation

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.

Alicia sat on the pier of Mori, her legs dangling over the edge as the water rippled towards her. The Docks were busy today, a clear day great for sailing. Her father was had taking her out on the ships a few times now and she had loved it, she was even starting to learn more of the lingo of a sailor - "port" and "bow", very curious words. And even though her father had been managing to spend time with her even with his duties to keep the village up and running, communicating with the other fisherman villages along the coast and all that boring stuff. She still missed something, she missed her big-sister taking her out on secret adventures. The air of mystery and danger, there was something unique and thrilling about it that clutched at Alicia's soul. The little girl looked from her reflection in the water to the sky straight ahead of her, nought but distant birds flying towards the shore.

"Huh?"

Alicia squinted and her head pushed forward. Something wasn't right. What looked like clouds erupted around the black speck in the distance which slowly grew bigger and then quicker. The other specks she mistook for birds were slightly further back from the initial, and then more recognisable explosions appeared in different areas in the sky around the speck. Alicia stood up quickly, her hand resting against a wooden column so that she could lean forward more to try and get a better view. IT was more clear to her now however that there was a chase, a pursuit going on. The Speck being chased was indeed a bird, but a very large one which was getting closer and bigger. The other things chasing it, she couldn't really make out. Alicia looked around to see if anyone else was seeing what she was before concentrating back on the scene before her, in the moments she looked away it seemed to have gained some distance and was almost right above her.

"Songbird!?"

The Mechanical looking bird shot overhead, smoke trialling from the large bird-like creature. Explosions erupted above her causing the child to recoil and cover her ears. Though she wasn't in harms way, the pursuers shot over her head next in hot pursuit throwing Fireballs in the direction of Songbird. Alicia ran across the pier towards land in the direction Songbird seemed to be descending in.




Songbird was making great haste, though he was struggling and hurt. Lena looked back at the creatures that had been pursuing her from the Great Wind Desert relentlessly, she then looked at Songbird's damaged tail-feathers and wings, smoke billowing from them. A cast explosion almost rocked her off the bird as it strafed to the side to avoid serious damage. Their accuracy was getting better. Another explosion under Songbird's wing rocked them both, the bird spun around and flew lower coming towards the shore, what looked like a fisherman village. Songbird shot over it, the village passing under them both with a barrage of explosions following after them.

Songbird was forced to strafe more and exert energy into more dramatic flight manoeuvres. The villager was gone from below then and the terrain became trees and grass and this got Closer, Songbird was running out of energy and plummeted towards the ground at high speed, the earth and impact came quick as it smashed with the hard ground. Chunks of mud and rock splintered and broke from the ground, a dirt picked up as the bird left a large deep groove where it skid across the grass and then halted. Lena had been thrown off the bird and she lay on the grass, her body sore and distant from her companion. She heard the beating of wings, though her vision was still fuzzy from the crash, she could clearly hear the pursuers surround her and then suddenly the wings stop beating.

Lena shook her head and slowly got to her feet, one of her arms was really hurting - her left. Her vision cleared and she saw men with bows, pointed towards her, standing beside their large flying beasts. The men's attires were almost rags, like usual sand or desert bandits wrapped over their body and around their heads. Lena quickly looked back at Songbird, the creature was slumped in the ground, resting. She turned back to her opponents and saw nought but an arrowhead fly towards her and a searing pain erupted from her neck, air seemed to become much harder to come by. Lena's hands clutched her neck as she fell to her knees. She curled over, gritting her teeth, trembling. The men got closer, surrounding her.

"átta"

A couple of the men tilted their head, wondering what she had just uttered. Their bows were still at the ready.

"Speak properly Creature."

"skulu eigstayeðr á þinn beasts!"

Lena's head shot up, an evil grin on her face. Her hands took a strong stance on the ground and she pushed of the ground, rocketing her into the air at one of the bandits, an intricate, ornamental wooden hand axe produced in her right hand as she brings it down against the man's neck, burying the hatchet. She stood in front of him, her head tilted to the side as his did limply; blood spurted from the wound. Lena hissed as a searing pain shot through her back, another arrow under her left shoulder blade. She spun around and whipped her hand in his direction a metal card finding a nice cosy spot in his skull. Lena took the bandit with her axe in him and spun around him, using him as a shield from an incoming barrage of arrows from the other six. The body fell to the ground, but Lena wasn't behind him nor was her axe buried in his neck anymore.

There was a moment of quiet and then suddenly from out of the earth she dug her way through Lena pounces onto the back of another Bandit, her legs wrap around his torso and she repeatedly hacks away at the bandit's neck, head, shoulder- wherever her wild axe swings find she repeatedly cuts him down all while letting lose the masks from her body. Four of her threaded creatures shot towards the flying beasts as they were being rounded up, some even began to take off - but their forms wrapped around the summons' heads and suffocated them until they dispersed from this world, one summon was high enough in the air that when it disperse a bandit fell to his death. Lena lets the body of the man she hacked away at fall to the ground, sitting on his back now she looks around, five of her pursuers left - most were struggling to get their suffocating summons in check, a couple were trained on her, one near on the right songbird and another a bit closer to her left. She lunged, sprinting forward whilst strafing left to right dodging two arrows. She headbutt the closest bandit in the gut at the end of her sprint, sending him stumbling back. She stands up straight and slowly walks towards him, she grabs the back of his head and throws his head down to her rising knee. Another arrow flies towards her, but this time it's red pulsing it explodes engulfing Lena and the KO'd bandit. The Archer standing beside Songbird knocks another arrow getting ready to attack again, however from the smoke left behind from the explosion the wooden axe emerges spinning towards him and crunching into his chest, the bandit falls back with some force struggling to breath.

Lena's masks retreat from the dispersed summons and find their way back into her body, morphing in through her stitched back. A bandit turns to face her, a little despair in his eyes as he realises he can't escape on his winged beasts anymore. As he does turn around he is met with Lena diving at him, tackling the man to the ground and sinking her teeth into his neck, tearing a chunk of his flesh out of his body. She doesn't spit it out. As she stands up she gets punched really hard and feels slight paralysis run through her body. She rolls across the ground facing up, the bandit with lightning pulsing in his hand stands above her and then brings his lightning imbued hand through her chest. Lena manages to struggle against the weak paralysis and holds her palm up, activating her dark mark absorbing the lightning as it comes into contact with her. She clutches the fist and pulls the bandit down closer to her, using her free hand to yank the arrow out from her own neck and drives it into the bandit's temple, twisting it till his eyes roll back white. Lena feels another pain shoot through her arm, an arrow straight through her right bicep it goes limp.

"AAAAAH!!!"

She slowly gets up and looks around, her eyes locking onto the last bandit. Who looked slightly terrified, her appearance, bloodied and monstrous. Though they got themselves into this. She stumbled towards him, clutching her limp arm. The bandit backed up slowly, Lena growled as she limped closer. He shoots her, the arrow explodes but as a flash-bomb. Blinding her. Lena grits her teeth, her eyes shut tight as she tries to shake off the temporary blindness. She feels the wind get knocked of her next, an attack with a breeze connecting to her stomach - she through the air after getting hit with a fuuton attack and lands on Songbird, gasping.

She opens her eyes and notices the bandit running into view, standing above her with a blade raised above his head ready to drive it down onto her. Lena spits out bloody flesh she had bit out of a victim earlier into his face and brings her knees in and thrusts her legs out, kicking him off. She pushes off Songbird with her elbow and using what strength she has to leap forward and clutch his neck with her left hand, suffocating him slowly. The bandit slowly falls to his knees looking up at this bloody woman strangling the life out of him. Eventually he dies and she throws his body to the ground, screaming out.

"AH!"

She spits on the corpse and looks around, taking in her surroundings, where songbird had taken her. She limps up to her summoning companion who was slightly restless, but okay. The Threaded devil walked towards where the shore was, seeing a group of people who must be from the village she passed over.

Alicia was with a few other villagers going out to see the ruckus. Smoke rising from what looked to be a down Songbird at the end of a deep groove in the earth. A figure was walking towards them, she looked really hurt, covered in blood. Alicia covered her mouth as she noticed it was Lena, though she looked slightly different and quite ferocious.. scary even.

This Lena, she had the same stitches and eyes, she recognise those eyes. Her hair looked the same too except the odd decoration in it. Though she had new long pointed ears and a few new markings on her body, what she wore was different too. A cropped almost cyan-ish transparent top with no sleeves, under that to cover her chest she had rag like underwear. Around her waist and thighs a similar transparent cloth, tied up on her left and draped over her legs. No shoes, sharp teeth - though Alicia had seen her with them before. The little girl took a step forward, but Lena just pushed through the shocked crowd and passed them walking towards the village. Alicia didn't want to approach her, Lena didn't even look at her. She was scared, worried and then she felt a hand on her shoulder and looked behind. It was Nicola, one of Lena's friends she had left behind to watch the Village.

"Something's up."

Alicia nods her head and goes with Nicola back into the Village. They find Lena on the beach, kneeling in the sand covered by the shallow tide. She was hunched over, splashing water in her face and cleaning herself. Nicola approaches her from behind,

"You haven..."

She was interrupted by a sweep to the legs and a knife to her throat. Lena was on top of Nicola, staring at her.

"Ek veit þú?"

Nicola was perplexed, Lena also seemed slightly confused - but oblivious.

"What are you speaking? I'm your summon, ally."

Lena tilted her head and stood up, allowing Nicola to back off and get up as well.

"Hmm?"

Alicia ran up to Lena, a sad look on her face, "No! You're my Big Sister! I missed you!"

Lena's face frowned, "Sister? Monster has no family."

She walked passed them both and headed back into the village, Alicia was about to go after her but was stopped by Nicola.

"Wait. She's still dangerous, obviously something has happened to her. I need to contact someone, lets go home."

Upon returning home Alicia ran into her room, looking through her things. A determination in her, Nicola found Kiora and approached her.

"Where is Juliana?"

"Shopping."

"Well. I need to send Kuchibashi to Tsumigakure. Lena is back, but something is wrong. Can you go watch her?"

"Lena is back!? What??"

"Yeah she's... forgotten Alicia... and me, though she barely knows us anyway."

"I'll go right now."


"Keep your distance!"

Kiora leaves quickly, taking off to go find Lena. Nicola finds some paper and ink and begins to write a note for Kuchibashi to transport. She goes up to the Raven sitting peacefully at it's perch and instructs it to take the letter, tying it to it's leg and letting it fly through the window. Upon doing so she turns to see Alicia holding something.

"You think she will remember if I give her this!?"

"Rainbow pikefoot scale? Hmm... a token with a lot of memories... maybe?"


Kuchibashi, Messenger Raven travelling to Tsumigakure's Graveyard of Sin and leaving Landmark.

Lena makes her way back to Songbird, her natural passive regeneration kicking in, most of her wounds healing from the multiple arrows she got thrown at her and other bits of hurt. With a body made completely of threads like hers she was capable of taking a lot of damage anyway. As she found herself back at the site of her recent battle, she saw Songbird still resting, still okay. Though something else caught her eye, a lone figure, the bandit she forgot about - the one she knocked out was stood in the the middle of some symbols drawn in blood as he was performing a string of handseals. Lena's eyes widen and her stance does too, she quickly runs for him throwing two metal cards in his direction, he doesn't even attempt to dodge and takes them both - the cards sticking in his body he spits up blood but finishes his hand seals Just as Lena slashes his throat with her sharp calcite claws. A poof of smoke erupts around her.

Type: Supplementary
Rank: N/A
Range: Short
Chakra: Varies (lvl 1: +20 chakra per turn / lvl 2: +60 chakra per turn / lvl 3: +120 chakra per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: Those with the cells of Hashirama are able to use the immense regeneration ability to heal injuries afflicted on them in mere moments. Anyone who has these cells in their bodies are able to naturally use this. This allows the user to heal minor injuries such as cuts,gashes, broken fingers or wrist/ankle and other small bruises.

Level 1: Done passively, this allows the user to heal small to moderate injuries. These include things like small cuts to broken digits and bruises as well as bleeding. These involve injuries that result from taijutsu attacks to minor wounds such as stabs in limbs, some broken bones as well as internal bleeding, slight organ tears. This is for none life threatening wounds and heals up to 30 damage

Level 2: Taking the place of a jutsu per turn, the user is able to make use of the healing abilities of Hashirama's cells and apply them at a greater level, employing the cells to heal large injuries, such as shattered bones, ruptured organs, even regeneration of missing limbs. This requires a large amount of chakra, and can only be done up to 3 times a battle. This can only be used once every 2 turns of Wood SM and heals up to 60 ( or A rank ) damage.

Level 3: Deemed the ultimate regeneration at the cost of a jutsu per turn, the user is able to regenerate even the most deadly of injuries, such as a completely blown away chest or fully regrowing his body after bifurcation. After using, the user can only use one other jutsu the same turn. This can only be used a total of 3 times and once every 4 turns. As long as their head is attached/they have consciousness, this jutsu can be used. After using, the user can only use two other jutsu that turn and the next.

Note: Level 1 can only be used by bios with Hashirama DNA and access to Wood Release. Level 2 requires Wood SM to be active and Level 3 can only be utilized by the Juubi Jinchuriki.

There was a moment, nothing happened.

"Ah!"

Lena keeled over as she was kicked in her knee and then punched across the face, they were both strong strikes. The smoke cleared and she was punched in the face again causing her to fall to the ground. She felt pressure on her head, a foot and it slowly pressed down on her, she began to scream out as the pain quickly took over. Her hand placed against the ground and she manipulated sharp splintered wood projectiles from the ground around her and the target to pierce him. He escaped in a heartbeat, he had a high speed.

Lena gets up quickly, scurrying around to spot her fast opponent. Her stance ready. She locked onto him, a man in armour, there was a wooden spike sticking in the side of his armoured torso, he pulled it out and it seemed to have only slightly pierced his skin. He seemed fine, though she couldn't tell with the helmet covering his face.

Type: Offensive
Rank: D
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: Focusing chakra into his hands or the ground, the user will make 3 to 4 small (kunai sized) projectiles of wood and propel them against the enemy.

She readied her Wooden Handaxe, but in a flash he was gone and she felt a foot crunch into the side of her abdomen knocking her unsteady, she tried to counter - swinging her arm around swiping her axe around. But it just cut through air and she was punished with an elbow to the back of the head, rocking her forward.

The hits didn't stop, she got hit in different parts of her body and a couple strikes to the head. She was getting dizzy and angry, her head throbbing. She holstered her axe on the side of her waist and performed a hand seal, but a searing pain piercing straight through her hands locking them together temporarily and stopping her pattern. Another punch to the gut and then another blade drove straight through her back. An arm locked around her neck. The opponent tightened his choke hold from behind her and drove the blade deeper into her back. She could feel the cold metal push passed the threads inside her body, aiming to poke through her chest. She coughed up blood. IT was a struggle to perform jutsu with such a headache and a daze.

Lena tore her hands apart, grabbed her axe off her waist and flailed her arm back, the axe making a thud sound against the metal helmet - it didn't pierce but it was enough to worry the man and loosen his arm slightly around her neck. Which she used to bite his hand. HE grunted and Lena got free, spinning around after leaping away getting about a two meter distance, throwing the axe in his direction - but he had already moved.

Lena felt her chakra weaken, like she couldn't control or manipulate it. The blade drove through her back was dampening something and she couldn't reach it to pull it out. She struggled and felt very weak, her legs buckling from beneath her as her threads started to slowly not respond.

"I can finally kill you, monster."

The Armoured man stood before her and started to make hand seals, finishing the string of seals his hands part slightly and her begins to create a large amount of chakra between them.

"But I'll leave no trace of you."

Lena's mouth twitch, an anger on her face, a determination to not die. Though the more that energy in his hands built up the more likely to die she was going to be; she struggled to get a control of her chakra and was struggling to put up a defence. Then she saw a figure rise up slowly and quietly behind the Armoured man. Songbird. It thrust it's head forward with quick precision, catching the Armoured man off guard as the sharp calcite beak crunched into the back of his helmet and through his skull, leaving a hole of mush in the back of his head. The energy between his hands disperse and his arms fell limp to his sides; the armoured man just stood there not registering with his brain anymore. Lena felt control come back to her body and she stood up and uppercut him, it wasn't very climactic and he fell back, making a splat sound on the ground - blood pooling out from his head.

Songbird trotted around behind Lena, clutched the embedded blade with it's beak and yanked it out from Lena's back. She gasped and fell forward onto her hands and knees, breathing heavily, regaining control of herself. She snatched the blade and observed it, a form of fuuinjutsu imprinted along the blade. Out of anger she threw it and then she crawled over to Songbird who had lay down or her and sat against him. She was knackered and lost.

"Why here, Songbird?"

Mission beginning of my Mission starts here;

- Lose someone who is tracking you



Lena had a perimeter set up, her Metal Cards spread around the area, some in the grass, some hit against the trees; with Wind imbued within them. Harmless bursts of intangible wind coming from their epicenter, this gave Lena a form of sensory and allowed her to work and relax knowing nothing was in her area. She had gathered all the bodies she had killed and lay them side by side, she went to each individual one - crouched over, looting them or information and valuables.

Type: Defensive / Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short / Long
Chakra Cost: 20 (-5 to sustain)
Damage Points: N/A
Description:
By Fuelling Chakra into a Kunai or similar Projectile(s) in their hand or on the field the user makes that projectile the epicenter of bursts of intangible and harmless wind, the opponent and user will be able to feel these bursts of wind, the bursts of wind fading after 5 meters away from the projectile. The Bursts of Wind do not cause any damage and instead with each pulse senses any foreign chakra caught in the breeze vicinity of the Kunai and sends that information back to the user, basically giving them a form of sensory but in a specific area. The Wind also pushes other projectiles like thrown kunai, shuriken etc. it basically makes any throw weapon useless as it messes with their trajectory and therefore aim - even the user's unless thrown with the breeze.

- Costs a small portion of Chakra to sustain
- If Tool(s) are destroyed then the area will lose sensory
- Max of 5 Tools this can be applied to.
- Can be deactivated at will
- Must be taught by LonelyAssassin

One of the sand bandits had an interesting and nice looking Dagger. Curved, ornate, looked as though it was passed down for a number of years. An amused expression was on her face as she took it for herself. They didn't really have anything worthy of importance on them until she got to the Armoured one. She looked through his person thoroughly and took a scroll off him and what looked to be a letter.

She then piled up the bodies and lit them on fire, sitting against Songbird whilst observing the contents of what she found. She adjusted her body to sit more comfortably and then sensed something, her ear's twitched - she deactivated the wind beacons once she felt the disturbance come from a tagged tree so that the wind breeze didn't give away the fact she was sensing the spy. Lena casually stood up, acting normal she stretched her limbs and looked around, pursing her lips she scratched the back of her head, fluffing her hair. She kept the tree of question in her peripheral and patted Songbird's head/ The large bird shifted and stood up, trotting with Lena towards the North, heading towards a more heavily forested part of the outskirts of Mori.

She saw a figure move from the tree to more cover in her peripheral, this confirmed to her a spy of some kind. Not sure whether it was someone related to the targets she dispatched or a curious member of the village she had passed over she continued over to the trees. As she got to the tree line Lena had Songbird obscure from the vision of the spy and patted it's stomach.

"fjúkminnr sváss"

Songbird took off from the ground, flying upwards into the sky revealing no Lena behind it. She had taken off into the trees, leaping between the trunks. Though she knew the spy was on her tail, a feeling confirmed by the creaking and snapping of branches from someone who was pursuing from above. She kept her cool, thinking for a moment.

Lena then quickly took cover behind a tree, stepping to the side and made an illusionary clone that woulc continue forward, running across the grass further into the forest. She remained against the trunk for a while until she heart the much louder and more obvious foot steps of a Shinobi tracking her across the branches pass overhead. She smirked and let them continue forward before making a run for it to the right.

Type: Supplementary
Rank: E
Range: Short
Chakra: 5
Damage: N/A
Description: A clone made of the user that can move but(cannot use any jutsu)This clone is merely an illusionary projection of the user.

Note:The clone jutsu can be made with different elements and is a D-Rank jutsu under its own element(Mizu/Water Tsuchi/Earth Sumi/Ink)

The clone would reach a clearing and disperse. Lena's Pursuer; Kiara landed on the grass, looking around with her hand on her head, an expression of confusion and slight annoyance on her face that she had been duped by such a simple technique.

"Damn it."


Lena came back to the edge of the Forest, landing on a large branch, waiting for a moment as she sees a figure coming towards the Village of Mori. She didn't approach them and just watched @Howard .

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
  • Help a friend ( 2 )
Summary: Spread the word around, Sado's back in town. Aiming to help Lena of Shinramoto he hasn't forgotten about wanting her to join his village. That offer still stands but right now he's got to prove once more how much of an asset even just one of his clones can be to his friends and allies. Lena being one of the oldest even if he hasn't seen her in a long time. Going to be multiple posts.

( Sandāu~ēbu ) - Thunderwave
Type: Tool
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: N/A ( - 5 per turn when used )
Damage: N/A
Description: Thunderwave is a basic chest plate outfitted with a surround sound speaker system, and a microphone. It can be used to play music or make noises more audible than normal similar to a karaoke machine. It is able to produce sound louder than most techniques or the clashing of techniques and can be much louder than the user or opponent can scream. In essence it can act like the (Utsusemi no Jutsu) - Empty Cicada Shell Technique passively at all times being louder and stronger than even that basic technique. It comes pre-loaded with all of the wielder's favorite songs. In battle it can be used to play theme music or it can make the user louder as it has a built in microphone system connected to the speaker system.
The primary use of Thunderwave as mentioned above is the ability to play music with the offshoot of this being the ability to cancel sound waves with sound waves while playing music. This is similar to the Scientific Ninja Tool: Shijima and works like a noise-cancellation speaker. The system can emit a sound wave with the same amplitude but with inverted phase also known as antiphase to the original sound. The waves combine to form a new wave, in a process called interference, and effectively cancel each other out. This effect is called destructive interference and is able to nullify sound techniques in equal rank. The sound can encompass a short - long range area around the user being louder the closer to the user the people who can hear it are and due to this it has a dampening system as to not harm the users ears or cause them any undue problems. It can be fine tuned to look different depending on the wielder's appearance or preference.
Note: Sound techniques can only be canceled once per turn three times per battle.
Jack strode through the grasslands of Shinramoto as if he knew them like the back of his hand. It was much the same, even with the Red Fever ravaging the world Jack being a clone of Sado hoped that it hadn't gotten here. Though he assumed it had, I mean it had hit even the Village Hidden in Sin.
He felt a bit guilty honestly, with everything he had done he wasn't able to help Lena or Shinramoto as much as he had in the past but he didn't want them to feel like he had abandoned them, he just had so much on his plate. The Fallen Shogun, Takauji Ashikaga, the Primordial Goddess of Life, Tiamat, the Mother Cult, the Children, and Beast of Tiamat. He had been trying his best just to make sure his own village survived. He looked out toward Lena, able to easily pinpoint her via his Yin-Yang Release based chakra sensing.

We did it. Have you heard yet? The Shogun, I got our revenge for us. This was his.

He hurt our people, he drove them to fear, panic, and pain and now he's nothing more than a ghost from our past.

The clone of the Demon of the Badlands lifted up the Men-yoroi that rested on his chest hanging from leather straps that were latched loosely around his neck and shoulders. It was an extravagant status symbol taken directly from the Fallen Shogun himself, to prove that the Village Hidden in Sin were the ones who drove every nail into that bastard's coffin.
Jack extended his hand toward Lena as he approached closely gradually walking toward her. As he got closer he began to concentrate Yang energy through himself until he finally reached out to shake her hand grabbing it if she let him. When and if his hand would touch hers he would course Yang energy through her as the transformative energy would wash through her.
He gave off a warm presence, a different presence, he had always been confident, arrogant, and prideful but this may come off differently he actually had the power to back up that now. The Yang energy acted quickly changing Lena's form.

You sent for me? How can I help?

He spoke with a tone that denoted he only wanted to aid her, but there was still that underlying tone.

He obviously still wanted to bring her and her people into the fold.

( Yoton: Jigoku no Enjin ) - Yang Release: Ring of Hell
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 80 for touch based version/100 for ranged version
Damage: N/A
Description: By channeling copious amounts of Yang energy, the user is able to infuse others with this, temporarily enhancing their physical attributes. This is achieved in two ways, either by direct touch or proximity. The first is more limited to a single person but has greater benefits; those channeled directly into will be able to reduce 35 damage from physical contact and gain physical alterations to their body that the Yang energy 'breathes' into life, such as twice the height or width of their body, additional arms or legs, etc as long as within reason and used solely for physical purposes. Should the user use the alternative release, then he is able to release Yang energy from his body up to Long range away, affecting all allies in the range. This variant allows the user to augment all allies with the same type of changes, ranging from all gaining wings to more. These changes only last a limited time, however; after 3 turns pass, the grown appendages or changes fall and revert back to normal. Depending on the alteration, one of a few benefits might be obtained.
Note: If additional arms, stronger arms or alterations related to the arm are made, then the target will gain an additional +20 to Taijutsu. If the changes target the head, the user is able to grant a 2x tracking. If leg based alterations are made, then the target will gain either +4 levels to his base speed or +20 damage to leg based tai. If changes target the torso, then an universal durability boost of B rank Ninjutsu immunity is obtained and if wings or similar is created, then the user is able to fly at thrice their speed.
Note: The damage and speed boosts are considered Passive and Base Speed increases. The values listed in the techniques are if the touch based variant is used. If the ranged variant is used, then these benefits are reduced by gained on a lesser scale ( +15 to Tai instead of +20, +2 Speed Levels, 1.5x Tracking, or -15 from all physical clashes).
Note: Touch based variant can only affect up to two people per event. Ranged variant creates a wave of Yang energy that affects up to 3 allies and lasts up to 4 turns.
Note: Can only be used three times in total.

Jack's chakra:
1454 - 5 ( Thunderwave ) = 1449
1449 - 80 ( Ring of Hell ) = 1369

Remaining chakra:
1349

Well that was curious indeed. The Figure seemed to spot her, or at least be aware of her instantly and started to head towards Lena, she tilted her head as he got closer and so confidently spoke in her direction. Like he knew her very well, she hopped out of the tree, landing into a crouch she rose slowly her head tilting again to the other side as if to observe the stranger. "Shogun." This word was familiar to her and this man's looks - it scratched the back of her brain, and it felt like trouble.

He got even closer, no backing down. Lena's head slightly recoiled back at how bold this man was being to her. Though she leaned in, her hand coming out to shake his. As soon as they connect, her grip was tight and strong and she yanked the clone closer, whipping her other hand from behind her back; she had unsheathed the knife she had stolen from the dead bandit and pressed it against the Clone's neck. Her voice followed, demanding and foreign,

"Hverr eru þú?!?!?!"

A Strange feeling breathed through her as she shouted, her neck twitched as it washed over her from when she touched his hand. A Trap? She let go of his hand and grabbed the strap of his cloak and pulled him even closer.

"What YOU Do!?..."

Her hand was trembling, not with fear or anything of the like however - it was control, or the lack of. She wanted to make the man bleed a deep red, stain his skin and his attire. Though the whole fact of the matter was, something held her back, that scratch in the back of her head. The whole thing seemed rather suspicious upon arriving here, Little girl had claimed to know who she was and this nonsense talking man was so comfortable with her.

The knife was pressed against his throat and his hand had been gripped tightly. Jack, the clone of the Shogun-Slayer's response was merely to lock eyes with the threaded woman peering deeply into her eyes, he didn't see "her" there anymore. At least what he would consider as the Lena of Shinramoto he fought alongside during the Battle of Shinramoto and the Razing of Degarashan.
Was she more broken then he thought? It's okay if she was, he was broken too, Tsumigakure was a place for broken people. He knew about that other entity that resided within Lena, Sorrows was what it had been called, he didn't think this, was that. The entity Sorrows was like his secondary personality something Lena had trapped away.
His absence from her life had left him unfamiliar with her changes, but she was still his friend he would help her. He should have known from the changes to her appearance really. Her eyes, ears, teeth, and nails all were sharper. She seemed to be different both physically and mentally. There wasn't a hint of fear in his eyes, posture, or tone, as he gazed into her eyes, his dark eyes appeared to glass over emotion fading from him. There was no fear, in those eyes, no anger, nothing but a monotone calm that showed a willingness to let it happen if she were to plunge the dagger into his throat since he was just a clone. A tone that denoted he was here to help.

I empowered you. Strengthened you. Gave you a temporary boon. It's what friends do, they give each other gifts.

I am your friend. What happened to you? Who changed you and how? What have I missed?

If I have to put every brick back into this broken thing we built, together, I will. I am Sado Yasutora, and it's nice to meet you again.


He began to perform the diagnosis skill using his right hand that was locked firmly in her grip, gripping back as firmly to send his chakra through his body and into Lena's as he lifted his left hand. He rested his left hand on her body above the chest but below the throat as he gradually and gently altered the flow of her chakra trying to bring it back down.
This would have the effect of soothing and pacifying her if she let it happen. Any pain she was feeling, and stiffness or rigidness should fade away as the clone tried to restore balance to her body. It may have little effect but he had to try something to help her remember who she was, or help her come to terms with who she has become. He watched for her reaction to his words.

Where are you, now, Lena? Are you there, inside, screaming to get out, fighting with all you have to be set free.

Or have you changed completely from who I used to know, and is this who you are now?


( Iryo Ninjutsu: Modosu Heikō ) - Medical Technique: Restore Balance
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: When facing a patient with a chakra disturbance or an abnormal chakra flow, the medical ninja will place his hand on the patient's chest and use his chakra to calm and retore the normal flow of chakra of the patient. This technique can essentially dispel chakra abnormalities and allow for healing techniques to work better. The result is leaving the patients chakra in a calm and healthy flow. Additionally, as a side effect, this technique leaves the patient complete calm and relaxed, without pain or stiffness. It can also be used to dispel Genjutsu the patient might be under the influence of, including Doujutsu Genjutsu and pure Yin Release techniques. The medical ninja, however, cannot use this on himself nor on Forbidden ranked Doujutsu Genjutsu/Yin jutsu.
Note: Can only be used by medical ninjas.

Friend. It's what this man described her as to him, but to this Lena it was hard to believe that she'd have friends elsewhere, it wasn't easy for a monster to make one especially one wrapped in such savagery. A single tear fell from her eye, a clash within her just stopped her from gutting this wretched man and would allow him to do whatever he needed to help.

She looked down at the hand coming to her chest, her arm stayed stiffly where it was with the dagger. Though she didn't react, she let him 'treat' her. As the chakra took a hold of her body and cleared through her pathways, lowering, calming and restoring normality untoward them. Lena's legs shook and for it a moment it looked as though they were going to give, her arms relaxed and she let go of Sado and took the Knife from his neck bring his hands to her face.

"Uh..."

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

Her eye peaked over from her behind the dagger she held, red and surrounded in tomoe, her eyebrows arched, looking as though she was angry, pissed in fact. Before her face softened and her hands fell beside her completely, the blade clattering to the floor.

"Sado? er at really þú?... I mean... is that really you?"

She stood for a moment, staring at him, her sharingan examining him as if she needed more than just his chakra signature confirmation. And if he were to speak his first sentence she'd interrupt it, her hands reaching for the sides of his face, planting a long kiss on his lips, it seemed quite eager and she really missed him.

She gently separated from his face, her eyes slowly opened as she looked him over again.

"Sorry."

In all honesty, he didn't know how to react, he wasn't the sentimental type. He wouldn't stop her though, as he felt like she may need the catharsis brought on by the action, and her face, posture, and tone had softened back to a semblance of the Lena that had known. He had been able to bring her back to her usual self, or at least let a portion of it resurfaced as it didn't seem as hostile. He let the embrace go on for a while before Lena separated from it and her eyes opened once more revealing her crimson eyes.

What had happened while I was away? Are you okay?

Did you lose your memory, or?


The clone didn't exactly appear phased by the embrace moreso he seemed a bit more interested in what had happened to her. Things like what had caused the change to her appearance, personality, posture, and memories. The memories were the most important thing he thought because they were what made a person who they were.
All of their experiences and thoughts tied into what had happened to them, and how that changed them fundamentally. He wanted to make sure that she was alright, well as alright as she could be at this moment. He was also quite interested in what has happened with the people of Shinramoto. How had they fared during the numerous onslaughts that befell the world?​

Lena relaxed slightly as Sado spoke, her arms rested on his shoulders, her expression concentrating on what he asked. He seemed worried about her.

"I've been in the Great Wind Desert ever since the last time you saw me..."

She looked at him sadly, a bit of guilt built up from the fact that she invited Smith to come with her all that time ago and then just left him hanging around without any explanation. It was wrong of her, but she did have an explanation - she made a mental note to speak with him when she could.

"I... I got trapped. I had to limit what I knew of myself to protect everyone close to me so that it couldn't be used against me. I became someone else and eh, it was kinda fun... but dangerous... though when do I ever disappoint with the danger?"

Lena was still sifting through the memories that had flooded her mind, like she was sorting them back into a library.

"I tried making allies over there, and I had a few, but I was constantly hunted. Most people I got close to... died."

Her voice trembled slightly, a crack in her emotions. Though she calmed quickly, regaining her composure, there was a lot going through her mind and it was a struggle to keep up.

"I've been alone for a while since then. I trusted Songbird to take me somewhere that'd bring me back if things became too much... Alicia!"

Lena patted Sado on the shoulder and leaped off him, hopping in place as if gearing up to run away. She looked in the direction of the village and then to Sado.

"I have to go see her.... I'll meet you at the Tavern..."

Lena bolted. She just ran. Her legs pelted against the earth and her arms swung towards her chest. That little girl, it pained her to suppress those memories and for her to realise what she had done, guilt and self hate struck her hearts. It was a matter of time before she reached the village, she skid across the gravel path and looked around, remembering where her house was she bolted again. As she approached the hous's street it seemed as though Alicia was leaving with Nicola.

"ALICIA!!"

The little girl's head snapped towards Lena's direction, a smile appeared on her face as she also started get her little legs going, running towards her. The Threaded Woman's sharingan decorated eyes filled with tears, they streamed down her cheeks and her lip quivered, she let the momentum carry her as she fell to her knees. Scraping across the path, she skid into Alicia's arms as she dived at Lena - falling into an embrace.

"You're back..."

Lena cradled the girl's head, silent tears as she pressed her cheek against hers.

"Where did you go?"

The was no reply, Lena was just appreciating the moment. She was bursting with emotions she hadn't felt in a while, the usually composed being overwhelmed. As their embrace ended, Lena picked up Alicia and stood up,

"I'm so sorry I ever left you, that I ever hurt you and ever forgot about you..."

"What happened?"

"Ha... well, I have a lot of people to explain that too and you of all deserve the answers."

Nicola approached them, hands on her hips and an eyebrow raised. She shared a look with Lena, and then eventually she stood to attention and saluted her summoner.

"Lena-sama, good to have you back!"

"Thanks for keeping her safe."

"Yessir. A lot has happened since you've been gone. A Fe..."

"Save it. I need to meet with Sado."

"Ah so he did come."

Alicia pinched Lena's face and pulled at it as she spoke to Nicola. The Zombie found it sort of amusing an itch of a smile wavering at the corner of her mouth. Lena put the girl down and crouched to her height.

"I need to deal with something, but I promise with all my hearts that I'll be back and we'll have some fun tonight. Think of some things for us to do."

"I have a list already."


Lena chuckled through her words, "Oooho? I bet. Well I guess I'm in for it."

"Damn right!"

"Spoke like a true sailor... Go."


Nicola patted the little girl's head as they backed up. Alicia's face brightened for a moment though as she quickly skipped back to Lena and handed her something.

"Here! I was going to give you this to remember."

Lena took the scale into her hand and looked it over, reminded of how she got it and when she handed it over. What it did to save Alicia and Lena. The stitched woman placed it against her lips and closed her eyes. Angela... She pockets the scale.

"This is yours and if I leave without giving it back, it's stealing. So I'll be back. Alright?"

"Okay! Tell Sado I said hi!"


Lena just smiled in response and watched as Nicola took Alicia away, not back inside the house however, but towards the dock. Lena walked back to town to find the Tavern.

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
  • Negotiate for or speak on behalf of your clan ( 3 )
  • Prepare what you need to say ( 1 )
Summary: Trying one more to get Lena to join. Going to be multiple posts.
Jack took in the information as he deliberately walked toward the tavern. He didn't move quickly, instead just meandering through the grasslands and into the city proper taking in everything around him. He was thinking about what to say, he noticed the humans distancing from one another. Some seemed sick and symptomatic but not as bad as Sado himself or his officials have been. He knew that this would, however, change soon.
He felt like the Red Fever pandemic would get worse before it got better, and he needed to bring the humans of Shinramoto and Lena herself into, the Village Hidden in Sin. Though, could he really convince her? She had been so stubborn for so long, her humans they were proud, they were rooted to these lands, how could he convince them?

They had no protection from the Shogun, Takauji Ashikaga until Sado and Lena stood up against him he should remind them of this. They had no shelter from the Primordial Goddess of Life, Tiamat until the Village Hidden in Sin stood up for them and the rest of the world he needed to convey that.
They are too far isolated, and removed, almost completely on their own, far from the major world superpower that has their best interest in mind. How could he prove that? That he and his, merely wanted to help them. They weren't safe here. Now the Red Fever was hitting them, not hard yet but well, they had no way to stop it. What could the Village Hidden in Sin do for them? Provide health care, it was the right of every citizen of Tsumigakure to visit and be treated at the hospital.
No need for payment or anxiety about ailments. He could use that, he could point it out. If the humans of Shinramoto kept on, here alone they would get sicker, and sicker, they would lose lives, and time, and loved ones. Yes, Tsumigakure didn't have a cure yet, but they were trying their damndest to find one. At the bare minimum, Tsumigakure offered shelter, protection, strength, and respect to them. He had to convince them of that, and he had to prove to them that they had to relocate and forge a new path.

He had a place in mind, one that fit Lena, one that could help her, learn about what her eyes meant, and what they could do. The Motoi Drylands was a port-based land, similar to Shinramoto. It was home to a faction of Uchiha, which Sado could trust Lena to deal with and keep in line.
It was home to dry grasslands just like Shinramoto, it was the closest thing to Shinramoto he could offer. It would fit everything they were accustomed to, but how could he convince them to uproot themselves and replant in a safer environment? What else could he say to persuade them-... Without realizing he had made his way through the streets weaving in and out of bystanders and now he was standing before the tavern.
There she was approaching in the distance, Lena of Shinramoto he had ideas of what to say but would it be enough? Could he get her to hear him, understand him, and make the decision he believed to be the right, and smart one? Was the name "Shinramoto" too important to her and her humans to leave the Tea Peninsula over? Could his words ring true or would they be hollow?​

This Post marks the beginning of my mission;

- Break and Enter (1)
- Discuss the future of a Settlement with an established village (3)



Lena approached the tavern, her cheeks still wet from the encounter and the skin around her eyes looked slightly sore. Though she approached the entrance of the building with a smooth casualness that would argue she wasn't going through mental anguish.

"Buy me a drink?"

She winked as she clutched the door and tried to open it. The door was locked. She wiggled it in a sort of disbelief before noticing the note on the door she tore it off the nail and read it.

"Closed due to Red Fever until Further Notice."

Lena tilted her head and looked at the door, placing her hand against it she turns the existing wood into many small carved cats that just clatter to the ground. She simply steps over them into the building and makes her way to the bar, vaulting over it onto the other side and disappearing behind it.

Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: D
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: Creates small wood pillars or trees to trap, fight, or defenf with. These can be created from the users own body or from the ground.

She emerges back up with two tankards and slams them onto the bar, blowing the hair out of her face. Though her eyes wander for a moment to the taps, they weren't plugged up to any kegs or anything. They'd been cleaned out. She sighs and whispers to herself.

"Typical."

She spins on her heel and crabs the cork of a keg resting on a stand and yanks it out, the honey coloured ale spills out of it, with one hand she hold both Tankards and fills em both up to the brim, she slides them back onto the bar surface and just lets the rest of the liquid pour out onto the floor behind her.

"So...Red Fever? I'm guessing I missed a lot."

( Sandāu~ēbu ) - Thunderwave
Type: Tool
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: N/A ( - 5 per turn when used )
Damage: N/A
Description: Thunderwave is a basic chest plate outfitted with a surround sound speaker system, and a microphone. It can be used to play music or make noises more audible than normal similar to a karaoke machine. It is able to produce sound louder than most techniques or the clashing of techniques and can be much louder than the user or opponent can scream. In essence it can act like the (Utsusemi no Jutsu) - Empty Cicada Shell Technique passively at all times being louder and stronger than even that basic technique. It comes pre-loaded with all of the wielder's favorite songs. In battle it can be used to play theme music or it can make the user louder as it has a built in microphone system connected to the speaker system.
The primary use of Thunderwave as mentioned above is the ability to play music with the offshoot of this being the ability to cancel sound waves with sound waves while playing music. This is similar to the Scientific Ninja Tool: Shijima and works like a noise-cancellation speaker. The system can emit a sound wave with the same amplitude but with inverted phase also known as antiphase to the original sound. The waves combine to form a new wave, in a process called interference, and effectively cancel each other out. This effect is called destructive interference and is able to nullify sound techniques in equal rank. The sound can encompass a short - long range area around the user being louder the closer to the user the people who can hear it are and due to this it has a dampening system as to not harm the users ears or cause them any undue problems. It can be fine tuned to look different depending on the wielder's appearance or preference.
Note: Sound techniques can only be canceled once per turn three times per battle.
Where to start, geez, I guess it has been a minute.

Let's see, after the Razing of Degarashan the pussbitch Shogun fled east-...waitwaitwaitwait.

Let's see if I can do this the right way.


Jack lifted the tankard to his mouth as he down the whole pint in one, two, three massive glugs. Immediately after his tone and demeanor appeared to take a rhythmic shift, as the music began to play out from his person as his Thunderwave technology. He was filing time right now if he could explain the scenario it would give him time to work on what to say to influence and persuade Lena to join his village.
It also was just a story he loved telling because it was about him, his council, his allies, and his village. The rest of the world be damned at the end of the world when Tiamat fought against them all it was Tsumigakure who sealed that bitch back into the void. It was them that risked their health, their vitality, and their lifeforce to wrangle the problem. Sure others showed up, tried to take the call, but in the end they fell off, they stopped fighting. They LOST HOPE! Not the Village Hidden in Sin.
They risked their lives to save this world, the push back not only Takauji Ashikaga but also the Primordial Goddess of Life and her Mother Cult. They gave up everything, and by doing this he could speak on behalf of his clan. Get her to understand everything that has happened and hopefully, get his dear friend to realize it was of dire importance that she and hers joined him.

When the Tsumikage fought! A silver-tongued, Shogun!
With an army of Black Ones, his dutiful sons! At his fortune, they did revel!
They called the barbarian, a demon, he was just another devil!
Afraid that he could fight on their level!
Through the world, they spread deceit
And so cried the Shogun!
"The Demon must be beat!"

They came after him!
When the odds seemed slim!
And the outcome was grim!
The light growing dim!

At the end of the world!
The Demon, he fought with his horde!
They rallied and raised you!
And they brought the Black Ones to mourn!

What they called a "Monster" was willing to sacrifice
Or pay any price to bring you paradise!
But deep below the ocean!
A mass of stirring emotion!
There is always another!
He and his Village of Sin staved off the Mother!

They're the saviors of humanity!
So give them some rest!
Stop putting them, to the test!
Because none can contest or protest!

That’s our epic tale!
The champions they prevailed!
They defeated the villains!
So pour them some ale!

It didn't matter the cost!
In the Valley of Frost!
Or what they could have lost!
In the Valley of Frost!
There was no line left uncrossed!
In the Valley of Frost!


-.... after a pause he realized that he actually had to break it up and explain it. She wasn't here for it, a simple song about what had happened wouldn't explain it in the way it needed to be explained. However, god damn it, he liked singing it. It was probably the third or fourth time he had now. It was a powerful ballad about the Village Hidden in Sin. It was his pride and hubris that called him to use it over and over again. To clarify and tell the world just who saved them.
The further through the world the song reached, the more people who heard it would know of just who stopped Tiamat, just who defeated the Fallen Shogun. It was all just to feed the machine that was Tsumigakure. The more people who knew the wider-reaching Tsumigakure could be. It could be so much stronger with Lena at beside them supporting the growth of the next generation.

Okayokayokay. For real though, after the Shogun fled east he returned. This time to the northern borders of the Village Hidden in Sin. He carved a path through with his anger and his wrath a slave to a god-like entity. He had one thought left in that near-sighted mind of his, the destruction of yours truly. I was able to divert his ire and rage at you and your humans from the Battle of Shinramoto and the Razing of Degarashan and place it square on my shoulders.

I fought that bastard, for three gods-damn days. I used everything I had, but he had power endowed from an extradimensional being. Even warping space and time with high-level Yang Release related abilities I wasn't enough to combat him. I just held him at bay, hoping with all hope that my humans would come. Then on the fourth day they did, and we knocked that motherfucker out cold. Beat his lily-white ass into submission.

With his demise though we opened a gate into another dimension. She came. The Primordial Goddess of Life, Tiamat, the Mother of Beasts was using him like both a door and key to whatever dimension she was trapped in. She rose from the Hokubu Ocean with pure malice and hate in her heart. She wanted to wipe the slate clean, restart this world with her own creations. My humans, and I, well we couldn't let that happened.

Some strong shinobi outside of Tsumigakure stepped up to face her before we made our way onto the scene. They barely even touched her, and we barely dented her as well chipping away at her. We struggled and fought, and nearly died to preserve this world. Then it happened, a bright light rained down from the heavens and coated us in strange energy. My humans sacrificed their health and lifeforce to create bonds to bind her once more and seal her back into that void.

However, the substance she summoned forth and used the Sea of Life it's dangerous. It has mutagenic properties, and well it has made everyone sick. The Red Fever spawned from it, and we have all suffered considerably. None more than my home, my council, and Sado himself who are all dangerously sick but they're still fighting. They're trying to overcome it and find a cure. I don't know how it's going but I know the whole world is in peril. Your human's landmark, Shinramoto, it's-...


The clone stopped for a while giving Lena time to interject and speak. He knew how he wanted to continue. Though first, he wanted to get her thoughts on it. He knew that there was the only option and he had to convince her of it. He had to tell her everything about his village. Everything about what had happened and everything about what they can do for each other. He had to without a doubt make sure she joined them. All of this was a negotiation of sorts. He was laying out what they had to offer. Would she listen to him?​

Lena's lipped curled into a smile as Sado's Thunderwave started to lay down a beat for him to serenade to, oh how refreshing it was to listen to the originality that this man was able to conjour up. She rested a hand on the counter-top and the other against her hip as she allowed herself to be entertained by the King of Bards.

As he came to a halt, Lena swiped up both her and Sado's finished tankards and uncorked another keg; pouring it out into the Tankards and placing them both down. One in front of the male as he finishes his last verse. There was a lot to understand from what he sang, though she assumed he was not done. As much of a spectacle it was, some things had to be communicated clearly.

"Well don't let your throat go dry."

She bent down to lean her elbows on the bar, resting her head in her hands. Watching him go on, catching her up on the news of the world, as ado would of course make such an impact on it. Starting with the Shogun...

...As the story went on a deep pit feeling struck her stomach; the admiring smirk on her face faded slowly into one of more guilt. Sado, Smith, was there when she needed him, when she was at her lowest, when she needed allies to fight. But when he needed her, struggled alone for three days versus a man she despised - wanted a piece of. She could have been there, standing beside him, suffering along with him and his humans. She bit her the inside of lip hard. And she would have continued to stand beside him fighting against this 'Primordial Goddess'.

She felt slightly sad, disappointed that the clone confirmed that he was in fact a clone. Though that was just a selfish desire. It would've done more harm if Sado had turned up with this "Red Fever", so her disappointment quickly faded. And as the leader of a thriving village, the man had actual duties and she was just a girl on the other side of the continent.

But what a twist, the Shogun was a pawn, how pathetic. Lena suddenly recalled what the clone had said to her when he approached her savage form. The boast, what he took for 'us'. She stared at the symbol around his neck, her body slumped further over the bar as she reached the touch it, her hand gently feeling the intricacy of the Men-yoroi.

"I'm glad he's dead and you're not. But I wish I was there... I regret not being there....I should have been there."

Her Uchiha eyes peered back up at the clone, they were sad as was the usual emotion around them recently. As much as it sounded like a horrible, painful time; Lena selfishly thought that it would have been nice, warm even to be beside someone amongst such pressure. She stood back up, taking her hand off his chest to hear what he had to say next.

You had a lot on your plate if you feel like you weren't there for me, or mine, what about me? Should I regret the fact that I wasn't here, or that Smith was pulled away from the goings-on in the Wind Desert to fight Takauji Ashikaga? You didn't do anything to regret, things happen that tie us to specific duties. Speaking of which, I'm going to cut to the chase, after everything I've said, I know, you know, why I said them. You and your humans are no longer safe here. All it takes is one errant shinobi on a day when you're not around for all of this to be wiped clean. It's happened to many during the altercation with the Fallen Shogun and the Mother of Beasts.

The clone, its tone changed completely and became much more serious. He had to finally lay it out on the table in the plainest way possible. He had to implore her to listen to his words and make the final decision. He knew that only she could convince these humans. They would only listen to, respect, and fall behind the Threaded Woman of Shinramoto. The Monster of the Tea Peninsula wasn't enough to get these humans to realize just what they needed to do. Even though he wished it so.​

Lena, I want you to join Tsumigakure. This is something I've offered numerous times in the past. Now though, is different, you regret not being around. So be around. I wasn't able help your humans. So let me help them. A city isn't a home, a home is its people. We have a place for you and yours. It is just like this one. A grassland, with a port, and ships, so much untapped potential but none of my people can tap it the way you could. You have humans that are accustomed to that kind of land.

There's an Uchiha compound there with an active group from their clan. You have their eyes. They can teach you about them, how to use them, and how to advance them. They can help you and you can lead them. Your humans are going to get sicker, as the Red Fever takes hold they're going to start dying and my village cannot spread themselves that thin. If you and yours were closer, we could offer shelter. Medical attention. Steady food, and income. We have plenty. More than we need and you could make what we have better.

Lena's hands claps around the sides of her Tankard, she listens to the clone whilst staring into the liquid within it. She remembered all the times that he had offered to bring her into the fold, it was a many - numerous amount and she had to wonder if he was getting sick of her stubbornness. Though he had respected her decisions. He'd mentioned the land before and how she could be the only one to bring them in, and he was probably right. She had thought on it a while, whenever she had her head straight back in the Great Wind Desert and she thought of this place it tore her mind apart to come to an answer. But now, the answer was simple:

"Okay."

Her gaze shot up from the tankard looking straight into the clone's.

"You've respected my lust for freedom for a long time, and you're just as stubborn as I. But I see nothing but benefits from this now. There is just a couple of things, I will help develop the area you speak of - but I'm not the leader of these people. Zeri is and even though he's not really a Shinobi, he's smart and would run the economy & goings on there much better than I ever could. Also is this offer open to just the Villagers of Mori? Or anyone else who wishes to come from the other fisherman villages, they did unite to fight against Ashikaga - I believe they all deserve some safety...

And Finally, me. You're the only person I've ever truly related with. And Humans.... they're so bastarding Fragile... Sado has to survive this Fever, he has to live. If he dies. I'll kill everything, I'm sick of losing people I love and I don't care if I go out screaming, because I fucking will. I've more than accepted I'm walking chaos."

The clone understood he was happy to finally hear what he had wanted to for years. His gaze meandered around the bar until she was almost talking than his eyes once more locked with those of Lena of Shinramoto. There was a fire and a determination in them. The look of a job well done, he even picked up on her phrasing. He gave her the time to finish speaking before exhaling slightly and beginning to speak.​
His tone was still serious but a bit more lackadaisical, it softened back up. It was finally agreed upon, he didn't have to worry about ifs, or when, or buts anymore. He was able to convince her to finally join him. He knew her lust for freedom, it was one he had. Though, she didn't have to give that up to join Tsumigakure. All the Village Hidden in SIn wanted to offer each of its inhabitants was freedom, in the purest sense of the word.​
The ability to live free, a life of their own choosing where they were able to make their own decisions, but also not fear things like starvation, dehydration, banditry, an expanding clan taking what was theirs, or any of the other perils this world forced upon them. The non-shinobi had no one to protect them besides people like Lena of Shinramoto or Sado, the Demon of the Badlands, Vegeta the Pride of Tsumigakure, Fuu, Grenth, Mirabelle, Vayne, and anyone else from Tsumigakure.​
These were the type of people who could give the non-shinobi what they needed, and Sado, yes Sado because that's who this clone was, couldn't be more glad that Lena had finally taken his outstretched hand. The clone spoke with a reverence for Lena.​

It's an open invitation to anyone you feel is worthy, and honestly, I get that thought of wanting a non-shinobi in charge. It's how the capital is already run, Sado is a symbol and he leads the shinobi and protects the common men and women but they run their economy and such. Only a non-shinobi can understand the plight of their kind, so that's how it's been run since day one. We have two humans running the day-to-day, just like Zeri does, and would do for you. Lorelei and Catherine.

The smartest women we know, they handle the books, trade deals, economics, and relations between shinobi and non-shinobi. As for Sado, he'll survive, because he can't die until someone else who can do what he does steps forward to replace him. Until the day he stops being the best option for the village, he can't die. Our pride, and our dignity, and our heritage won't let it happen. Through battle, war, sickness, and even apocalyptic calamity, we'll fight on until there is no fight left in the goliath heart that beats within our chest.

Lena crosses her arms and chuckles, "Well my Love, I have plenty hearts to spare... And anyway, what a shit tale it would be if you popped your clogs to a Pandemic."

It seemed Lena had some work to do here now, she was okay with that - convincing her villagers to take the best cause of action would be the next step. After she spends time with Alicia, her next target would be to talk to Zeri to get his two cents on it. Fishermen were stubborn, she wasn't expecting it to be easy. She was never very eloquent.

Lena's mind needed to wind down, she had been very passionate in the past couple of minute and as her Sharingan deactivated a sharp pain shot through her head, a ringing sensation erupting. Her hand pressed against her temple and her face scrunched up, though it soon relaxed as she blinked back the sensation.

"Uh... It's been a hell of a day... My next plan is moving then! Though at some point I'll have to return to the Great Wind Desert to scratch a target off my back; I am in no rush though, doubt they'll figure out where I disappeared to for a long time" An expression of annoyance on her face, it softened when she picked up the tankard and held it out in front of her between the two.

"Cheers, to the future success of another Tsumigakure expansion." She clinks his pint and tips her head back, pouring the drink down her throat until it was empty. Slamming the metal against the wooden bar with a sigh, "I guess I have some work to do... "

This post marks the beginning of my Mission;
- Babysit someone much younger than you (1)
- Plan and start to prepare for the move of Shinramoto (4)


After a few drinks with Jack, Lena had recovered a bit and headed out to the village leaving the Clone to it - He was obviously welcome to stay, she'd enjoy the company but if he was needed to go then he was needed. Lena went back to Zeri's home to go pick up Alicia and spend time with her as promised. Though upon getting there and knocking on, there was no answer. She opened the door and peaked in - calling out.

"Anyone home?"

All she got was a response of silence and so she entered slowly. Guess they were still out. Lena decided to wait for them to come back here and would pass the time thinking of a plan on how she would best go about doing a comfortable move for Shinramoto's residents. Not just the villagers of Mori, but the other fishermen villages along the coast. The Ironic thing of this whole situation was that the transportation was simple and already acquired, the perks of being in a fishing village - there were plenty of ships. Since Sado mentioned the landmark he had planned for the move was coastal, she assumed that they could get there by sea - she would have to confirm on a map just in case, but for now that was sorted. Ships and path were simple. It was just the convincing of the people, and making them feel comfortable and not lost. They also needed to know the perks and their benefits.

"Hmm." She thought to herself, something she did similarly to a location in the Great Wind Desert was make homes with her Mokuton. Maybe she could do that again, on a large scale for her people so that they had relatable locations to leave and come back to, she took out a scroll and her Ink Ninjutsu tools, taking notes. She would write down a list of things she'd need to do; Map out the village or find a map, draw detailed or obtain building schematics for replication, choose important buildings that people know this village for, rinse repeat for other villages.

The door then opened, the click of the door handle mechanisms warning Lena of entry. She packed up her Ink tool and rolled up the scroll; tucking it away. She looked towards the door as Alicia and Nicola walked in, a smile on the little girls' face broadened when she saw Lena there and ran over to her.

"Lenaaaa!"

"Hey little one, you ready to go?"

"Let me get my things!"


Alicia ran into her room quickly, Lena looked back up to Nicola and stood up off the seat. "I have to apologise for being... well... gone... no communication an all that."

"Your will is your own."

"You really have my biggest thanks. Since Viola and Jinx."
She sighs at the memories of her old companions, "You two have proven your worth, I'm glad to have you two at my side."

Nicola didn't know what to say, she just nodded. The Zombie wasn't used to such direct compliments, or any at all as they weren't raised or trained with kindness. She just moved on to the next task at hand.

"What is our next move?"

Lena chuckled, "Well, I guess I will update you tomorrow. Relax for now."

Nicola tilted her head, but nodded. Alicia came running back out with a bad thrown over her shoulder, Lena smiled and held out her hand, which the little girl took as they walked out the house. Leaving Nicola behind in the house. As they moved outside, Songbird was stood there waiting for them across the dirt path, Lena picked Alicia up into her arms and jumped up onto her Summon, sitting her down as Lena took her seat as well behind Alicia so that she was safe during flight. Speaking of. Songbird stretched out his wings and flapped them downwards once and they lifted upwards, a few more swift flaps and they gained even more height.

"So what is the first thing on your list?"

"Uh..."
Alicia took her bag off her shoulder and placed it in front, rummaging through it's contents. She pulled out a list that was rough, scribbled on and ripped, scrunched up. Lena smirked at the sight. Alicia tried to read her own handwriting for a moment an then nodded, "Oh yeah! We was gonna do our big art lessons!"

"Oh. Well is flying on Songbird on the list?"

"Yeah that's...uh... next!"

"Guess we're changing the order, sorry sis."


And with that Songbird now at an extremely high altitude dive-bombed back down towards the ground at high speed, the air hitting the girls' faces and whipping their hair back. Alicia whoops with Joy, a massive smile on her face reflected on Lena's. The clouds part and the Village comes quickly into view; their trajectory is angled until the ocean comes into view and songbird makes a sharp upwards turn so that it's belly skids along the water surface. The liquid kicks up on either-side of him leaving a trail of spray behind. Alicia raises her arms in the air, Lena keeps a hold of her so that she didn't fall into the ocean.

Songbird tilts to the left and turns, a spray of water hitting them both lightly and an eruption of giggles. Alicia wiped her face and looked up at Lena, cuddling up to her.

"I missed you."

Lena nodded and patted Songbird's back, the Bird lifted up and flew back into the sky, doing a loop and a couple spins - quite the acrobatic bird. IT came to land at a port back in Mori, skipping across the wooden slacks of dock slightly. Lena took Alicia off the bird safely and they both walked back towards town.

"That was amazing!!!" Alicia threw her hands into the air, "I have not been able to fly for a long time!"

"Nicola didn't take you flying?"

"No! She said it was dangerous."


Lena pouted a little, but she understood - the way Nicola can fly wasn't on a gigantic bird like structure. They continued to the Town Hall, Lena forgot that it had been destroyed during the battle of Shinramoto - but not it was newly repaired and looked pretty decent. She stayed outside in the courtyard, taking out her Ink Tools - a variety of coloured pots and she turns to Songbird who had been trotting along behind them - taking down three very large scrolls that were suspended on the bird, she stands one upright and unravels it. She creates a thin pole of wood from the ground and wraps the end of the scroll around it so that it was propped up. This allowed Alicia to just go crazy on the surface of the scroll, giving her lots of space to be creative on.

Type: Offensive
Rank: D
Range: Short
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: The user creates a thin pole of wood from either the ground or himself. The pole itself can be used as a hand to hand weapon to strike opponents or as a support tool.

Lena sat on the floor with her scroll, she began to take notes of the surroundings and drawing pictures of the buildings in front of her. The New Town Hall and it's surrounding courtyard, decorations and houses. This would come in handy later when she wanted to make the villagers feel more comfortable if they decide to move to the new Landmark. Using these drawings as a reference through her Ink Technique; Cartography she could accurately recreate the structures out of wood. Though it wasn't just the Town Hall she was going to try and recreate, she was going to try and do the Tavern, the Docks, the Markets and other buildings that held history to the village. It may not be the original thing, but it was at least a reminder.

"What should I draw?"

"How about a Map of the Village?"

"Nah, I'm gonna draw SONGBIRD!"


Lena couldn't help but chuckle, her attempt to get Alicia to help with her workload failed - whatever made the kid happy.

"Pose Songbird."

The Giant bird tilted it's head and then puffed up it's chest and looked into the sky with it's eyes closed. Getting as Photogenic as possible.

Type: Supplementary
Rank: B- A Rank
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: This technique through the inspiration of Earth Style: Wheel Of Fortune, takes a similar twist in its formation in which the user will have pre drawn maps on scrolls in which they can through the use of their chakra bring these maps to life. What it does for the ink artist is allow for them to create 3D models of terrains they have been in before or created through imagination - allowing for them to create mazes, temples and all sorts of terrains through the pre drawn maps. To even further the beliefs of these creations, the user can use differing colors of ink in order to add more life to the creations. The larger the terrain, the bigger the scroll needed for the user to carry in order to draw. The created terrains are capable of being used as a source of the user’s ink creations if needed, thus removing the need for drawing them. This technique must be mentioned in the user’s biography or before battle, while each rank corresponds to how big the scale of the terrain can be. B Ranked scales up to short range, A ranks can scale up to mid range, with B ranks three times per battle and A rank twice per battle. Much like Ninja Art: Super Beast Imitation these creations are capable of existing outside the need of the user’s chakra, keeping an inanimate and realistic look. Lasts 3 turns.

Chakra: 1600 -10

It would take her a long while to get all the details down. How the door looked and the carvings on it, the structure of the wooden beams on the outside how they would feed through and hold up the inside. Of course there would be columns too, Lena took a peak inside of the Town Hall - there was the odd person, she took not of the engravings on the columns and the signs that littered the building. The Balcony that circled around the large room in the centre. This would indeed help her recreate parts of Shinramoto and help the villagers better assimilate to the new area they'd soon be at. She walked around, greeting numerous people who were in the building as well. Only issue is she wouldn't be able to get to every room without being rude and intrusive, though as detailed as she was trying to be she would have to just let it go. Eventually after spending a while inside the Town Hall she moved back outside to Alicia who had stopped drawing on the big scroll and was now playing around with Black ink on her hands, specks of it on her face.

"Oh. Well that's a mess."

"YEAH! Well I had no where else to paint!"


Lena observed the ground which was now covered in black hand prints, she then looked at the propped up scroll and saw the picture of Songbird that was drawn. Definitely by a child but... not too bad. Lena looked at Songbird who had... had hand prints...on him.

"You ruined my bird."

"I think it looks nice, it will always remind you of me!"


Lena's gaze shot in the girls' direction, a smirk curling up on her lips. "Like I'd forget you Tyke."

Alicia's eyebrow rose as she pouted, questioning the threaded lady.

"Well... not for real. I guess he can keep it." Lena then claps her hands together, "So! Ready to go paint some more?"

"Awww but I have other things written down on my list."


Lena would have liked to get these notes down, though she had gotten a nice bit of progress for one day getting the details of the Town Hall and the surrounding buildings she'd be able to create something similar with this. Hm. Maybe it would be best to do something near another landmark Lena needed to draw diagrams of.

"What next then?"

"Fishing!"

"Fishing?"


Alicia gets slightly embarrassed and recoils her excitement, "Well Daddy has been busy.... and when he takes me on ship I want to be useful!"

"Aww, Tyke... I don't know if I'll be a good teacher in that department. But... If things go bad we can just have a swim. You brought suitable clothes?"

"Yes!"

"Alright let's go."
Lena takes Alicia's hand and they go towards the Docks. Lena hires out some fishing rods and bait and they go to one of the longest piers which a bench at the end of it. Lena places her belongings and Alicia's against the bench and then sets up the Rods for her little sister.

"So. The basics are you wait for that little float to bob under water and the tip of the rod bend slightly, means you got a bite - then you reel this." Lena points to the line reel, "Like a mini-tug of war with the fish. Though I;m warning you - it's a patient hobby."

"I will be fine!"

"Fine."
Lena grins, "I'll be watching."

The threaded woman stands up leaving Alicia sitting behind her rod, she walks over to the bench and takes out more Ink and a Large Scroll. The Docks were large, there was a lot to note down. Lena observed all of it - getting the major piers including the one she was on down first; they weren't as busy as usual - people probably recovering at home with Red Fever. She tried to make note of how the piers were built from one she was standing on - plenty of support beams underneath and nice large slacks for the floor. Next there was the buildings than lined the docks, ship hire, ship registration, shops, cabins for the fisherman guilds. Lena knew these buildings well, and so had rudimentary designs of them scratched down. Though she would get a closer look inside later, she wanted this to be the most accurate since this was where the spirit of the fishermen was. Though when she wasn't looking after Alicia. Lena continued to mark down more details for a while, the outside ones - signs, pillars and the odd bit of decoration. She was feeling quite proud of herself and her plan to make a comfortable transition as possible.

"Ah!"

Lena didn't realise how much time had passed, she had zoned out from drawing and note taking. Alicia shouting just now snapped her back into it. The girl was struggling with a bite, tugging as hard as she could and trying to reel it in, but it was tough and wouldn't budge. Alicia was then yanked forward, the girl scream as she was lifted off her feet and pulled towards the Gulf. Alicia saw the Ocean get closer to her as she fell, then suddenly she stopped and was suspended in the air. The girl looked back over her shoulder and saw Lena, grabbing the back of her shirt.

"No."

Lena placed Alicia back on the Pier and looked her over, she was fine just a little shaken up from exerting so much energy trying to fight the bite. Alicia sniffled and rubbed her nose,

"I'm tired."

"Heh. Well home for a rest then?"


She slowly nodded her head, still kind of sad and disappointed.

"Hey. It's not easy and you'll grow up to be big and strong and get that fish another day, right?"

"Big and strong like you!"

"Yeah well... big and strong and broke. Because there goes my deposit on the rod. Anyway. Lets go."


Lena picked up her and Alicia's things and guided the little one home. Returning the fishing gear, well what was left of it. They went home.
