The Haunted Forest

The Haunted Forest, as the name implies, mostly consists of expansive taiga woodland covered in snow. Despite the cold most of the trees still retain their crowns, and they are packed so tightly together that the snow often blocks out the sun entirely in some locations and makes it hard to navigate everywhere else. Some logging villages are located near the forest’s edges, but few hunters venture in there, despite its relatively rich fauna, because of its bad reputation.

Following the rampage of the Shogun Takauji Ashikaga, there is little left in the way of fauna in the Haunted Forest. In fact, the entirety of the forest has been glassed over by a titanic vortex of flame, leaving behind nothing but rubble, sand, and soot.

Following the moon fall, the haunted forest is similar to the howling plains in terms of terrain. There's no forest left and the soot, rubble and sand hide the chunks of moon rock making it look like coal and other sorts of rock formations

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
-Explore a landmark(1)
-Trail an individual without being detected(2)
-Investigate the history of a landmark(3)

Summary: Desmond seems to be the 1st of the Reapers to arrive in the territory, and so takes it upon himself to explore and learn of the land. During this process, however, a strange person is seen to which Desmond pursues.
Arriving at a village Desmond looked around, only to see a bunch of unfamiliar faces So Ax and Seji haven't arrived yet. Proceeding to walk further into the village Desmond began to talk to some of the villagers:
Excuse me. Hello, I'm new to the area and was wondering if you could help a guy out. said Desmond whilst smiling and scratching his head.

Village Male: Sure no problem. What would you like to know?

Well first, is this the only village in this land? If not, how many are there? And is there a capital?

Village Male: Whoa slow down lad...

"Lad? If only he knew my actual age..." Desmond thought to himself

Village Male: Now no we aren't the only village I would say I know of at least three others. As far as a capital there isn't one we all govern ourselves and trade amongst ourselves.

Interesting what might be the names of these villages and is there a chief, mayor, or village head of some sort?

Village Male: Yes, you are currently in Culufan dead center of the northern border with the Aisu Bay Beach. Then there's Cactus on the western border, Crescentia on the eastern border, and Chebika on the southern border. As for leadership, each town has a village head.

What do you all do for trade?

Village Man: Well, all four villages are primarily lumber villages but those close to the Aisu Bay also trade in sea goods.

Whats the name of that forest? Is that where you get your lumber? Does it have any game? If so do the pelts and meat also sell well?

Village Man(demeanor changes): That is called the Haunted forest... we get our lumber from the outskirts and while there's plenty of fauna within it very few, travel further than the outskirts.

Why such a name?

Village Man: Because all who enter the forest never come out and at night you can hear the moans, screams, and calls of the ones who vanished. Sometimes calling for loved ones luring them into the forest to never be seen again.

Thank you for your ti... Desmond hears a strange noise and looks up to see a young girl walking towards the forest. Rapidly dashing to the girl he wraps his arms around her and in doing so saw a shadowy figure looming just out of sight. Jumping back to the man's position Desmond handed him the girl and two photos one of Ax the other of Seji. Take her away from here! And spread the word if you see either of these two men tell them to head into the forest! the man left Desmond watched as the shadowy figure took off deep into the forest. Making sure no one was watching Desmond put on his Reaper gear. Upon doing so he activated his byakugan and ran after the figure.

(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of hand seals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.

To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop their unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.

Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month having passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks away while those of sage rank can see as far as three away, but this doesn't extend beyond an ocean landmark.
Upon entering the forest it was easy to identify the shadowy figure as a man due to his byakugan and also thanks to this he was able to track him from a far enough and not be seen. Whilst traveling high in the trees Desmond marked several them with kunai to make it easy for the guys to follow if they came. He also took note of all the wildlife and noted the massive amounts of snow and little sunlight due to the tightly packed and fully flourished trees "This is almost perpetual darkness within the forest. It would be easy to get lost and confused within." he thought to himself. After several minutes Desmond saw the man enter a gate; stopping out of sight he used his eyes to investigate and saw an encampment with one female guard and a ninken posted at the gate with about twenty others inside; he also saw what looked to be holding cells with people chained up inside. This explains the missing villagers and the echoing noises through the forest at night. Wanting to wait for the rest of his group he began to draw a layout of the fort in case Ax or Seji showed up and wanted to take action.

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
-Lend a helping hand in one of your landmarks(1)
-Build something for the Clan(1)
-Destroy a large group or settlement(5)

Summary: With no sign of Ax or Seji Desmond decides to take out the criminals, free the captives, and utilize their defeat to benefit the Reapers.
Having waited several hours Desmond still had no word of either Seji or Ax "Maybe they got lost or just arrived in another city?" he thought to himself. Standing up he developed a plan to take out the bandits and use their deaths to benefit the clan. Vanishing from his current location he reappeared directly behind the female and her ninken and released a surge of raiton paralyzing the two as they went to turn around. This action would also be followed by the immediate drawing of his right hidden blade and a 360-degree spin utilizing the blade to sever their spinal cords from their brain stems causing death. Rest in peace. he said as he knelt down to close their eyes.
(Raiton: Chidori Nagashi) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds Current
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short (Mid if channeled through a medium)
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A (+10 if used to boost weapon damage)
Description: This jutsu allows the user to generate non-focused electricity from their body. It can be used as an omnidirectional attack or be channeled through weapons, the ground or other conductive mediums. Because the electricity isn't focused, it doesn't kill on contact, instead, it has great numbing and paralyzing effects. To channel Nagashi through a medium, the user needs to focus the technique into one of his hands which will then be put in contact with the medium and can only choose to either do a widespread attack throughout his whole body or to channel it into something; he cannot achieve both usages at the same time. Despite not having many destructive or damaging properties, Nagashi can be used to destroy low rank earthen and wooden structures and even negate chakra on the ground to stop high ranked earth and wood techniques. It has also been noted that Lightning Specialists that have mastered Lightning to the highest degree can resist total paralyzation, although they still feel the pain and numbing effects.
Note: Paralyzation lasts 1 turn if successful but is ineffective against bios who have a primary Lightning Specialty
With the gate guards down Desmond recanted the remainder of the traffickers "5 sleeping in the tents, 4 sitting by the fire, 1 pissing, 4 guarding the captives, and 6 drinking in the back." he thought as he used the moister in the air and snow to create a thick mist blanketing the encampment. Utilizing the cover Desmond dashed towards the fire dowsing it with water; this caused almost complete darkness leaving only the little natural light in the forest. This caused the bandits to panic just a little as they stood up and grabbed their weapons, Desmond unannounced to the ones by the fire had remained crouched in the fire pit. Weaving a single seal he created and an orb of what above himself and immediate after started projecting his voice randomly throughout the camp. This caused a widespread panic as the bandits began to talk The forest is actually haunted!, Demons!, God save us! it appeared that they began to believe the rumors them themselves created.
(Kirigakure no Jutsu) - Hiding in Mist Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: D
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 10
Damage: N/A
Description: This displacement technique creates a thick mist to spring forth by lifting up some water from either a pre-existing source or expelled from their mouth, then goes in and out of sight at will from within the pearly-white realm. The mist's thickness is controlled by the amount of chakra kneaded into it. It can't fool the Byakugan, but, due to the mist being created with the user's chakra, any Sharingan and Rinnegan-user will see the mist coloured by their opponent's chakra, which will effectively hide the user from the dōjutsu.


Note: Can be created through releasing from mouth or manipulating a nearby water source.


(Suiton: Suiryūben) - Water Style: Water Dragon Whip
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: After performing the Tiger hand seal, the user creates an orb of water from which several sharp whips of water emerge. Those whips can then be directed towards one or multiple targets, impaling them on impact.


(Utsusemi no Jutsu) - Empty Cicada Shell Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Forming the needed hand seal Ram, a shinobi can project his voice to a different area to hide their location and the number of allies at their side. It is an excellent complement to stealth tactics.
As all this was going down Desmond would utilize his byakugan to pinpoint the enemies locations allowing for dead accurate whip strikes from the previously created orb as he ran around taking out others on his own. All that could be heard was weapon fire, running, blades clashing, kunai/shuriken hitting flesh and trees, and deafening screams as the mist slowly turned a blood red. Time passed and the mist dissipated, the captives who had heard the commotion and seen the crimson mist form now saw a tall dark figure with an animal's skull for a face and glowing green eyes covered in blood and surround by bodies, limbs, guts, etc.. Walking over to the captives began to scream, Desmond upon arriving at the cage took his blade and broke open the lock opening the door You have been sparred... Go... Home to your .... Families. he said as he pointed to a path he marked on the way into the forest. Still shocked they all stared, NNNNNNNOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!! Desmond yelled in the most blood-curdling voice he could muster. The group ran for their lives Desmond watched from a distance to make sure they made it back to Culufan.

Once they where safe Desmond wove four seals and used his chakra to create a 5m deep tunnel just behind the entrance to the bandit camp as he liked the feel it gave. Walking down into the tunnel he reached the end and channeled his chakra into the ground once more creating a 20mx20m cavern 15m below the surface. He then created several pillars throughout the cavern to provide structural support preventing the ceiling from collapsing in followed by several reinforced walls to further increase the structure's integrity and create several rooms.

(Doton no Jutsu) - Earth Release Technique
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: D
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Descripton: Creates small pillars of earth, small tools, and small shields of earth

(Doton: Ton'neru chika no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Tunneling Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: The user after performing the required hand seals Ram → Dog → Rat → Bird is able to create a wide tunnel in the ground, this cannot travel through rock though or anything with a high density. The large tunnel that is created allows the user to transport others without detection.
Note: The initial entry of the technique is short range.

(Doton: Tajū Doryūheki) - Earth Release: Multiple Mudwall Technique
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: Like the parent technique, it creates a reinforced wall of earth to be used as a defensive mechanism. However, the technique works in a different manner. Using a pre-existing source of earth, it allows the user to create multiple walls of earth, further fortifying their defense instead of forming a single wall, by slamming his hands on the ground.
"This would be a good place to start to grow our clan." he thought to himself as he rested along the wall next to the entrance to see if either of his allies show.

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
-Meet with a major faction representative(4)
-Negotiate for or speak on behalf of your clan(3)
-Defend yourself from wild beasts(2)

Summary: Desmond still alone in this land decides to spark up some negotiations to benefit the clan.
Waking up from a slumber Desmond reactivated his byakugan which upon doing so he simply saw what was there before Was I so exhausted that I passed out? he said as he stood up and dusted himself off. " I need to talk to the village head." he said to himself as he left the hideout. Not in a rush, he took his time walking throughout the forest but of course not to far into this stroll he heard growls in the distance. It, of course, turned out to be a pack of dire wolves You've got to be @#$%ing kidding me! Desmond exclaimed as the wolves pounced.

Biting his lower lip to draw blood over his tattoo Desmond summoned Cynn in a poof of smoke. Reading Desmond's mind Cynn swiftly took out the three hounds with a triple dynamic entry. The Wolves began to whimper when Cynn invaded their minds Listen here mongrels. I beat you all in one fell swoop and decided not to kill you lot. For this Kindness, I expect you to see him as your new alpha. The wolves knelt before Desmond and he in return pet them on the heads and gave them treats. Cynn, tell them that they are free to do whatever they want in the forest as long as they don't attack or harm anyone I grant entrance, inform me of new persons entering, and spy on unknown people. nodding in compliance Cynn relayed the message. The hounds howled and took off, Cynn proceeded to subjugate all animals within the forest and relayed the same message to them as well as Desmond continued to the end of the forest.
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Cynn) - Summoning Technique: Cynn

She stands about 7ft tall when standing on two legs and can be ridden when on all fours. Unlike most of her kind she was born without a mouth but granted the ability to communicate telepathically to those she trust. She has also been Keji's personal summon since the day he first discovered the species. Due to this they've trained side for years granting her more tai prowess compared to her peers(+10 to all tai) and has since matched Keji speed(w/o leg weights).

(Toripuru Dainamikku Entorii) -Triple Dynamic Entry
Rank:B
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user uses Dynamic Entry on the opponent and then appears behind them to use it again. They are blasted into the air where they use a third Dynamic Entry to knock the enemy to the ground with great force and speed.

Nearing the forest edge he deactivated his byakugan and changed back into his civilian clothes. Now changed Desmond made his way to the village head's residence and knocked on his door:
Culufan Leader: Yes, hello?

Hiya, names Desmond and I'm pretty new to town but I wanted to talk to you about some important matters in private if you would.

Culufan Leader: Erm, yes sure come in.

Enters home

Culufan Leader:
Now what is it that you wanted to talk about?

As you know the disappearing villagers have returned from the forest.

Culufan Leader: Yes they explained that they had been captured by bandits this whole time. They also said that the rumors about the forest are true. That this deathly figure appeared within a mist of pure white that shortly after turned a crimson red revealing his figure to them. They mentioned that they were scared for their lives but the spirit actually freed them and let them escape.

Interesting will I'm here to confirm their story. It's all true and I was that deathly figure in the mist. You see sir I am a shinobi from a distant land and I am also apart of a clan called Reapers. We've come to this land seeking to make it our home but while I can't speak for my counterparts I personally would like a peaceful agreement between us and the villages.

Culufan Leader: Oh you don't say. *begins to laugh* You expect me to beli...

Desmond interrupts the man by projecting his killing intent upon him,
As you can see now that I wasn't lying maybe we can get back to negotiations. Desmond released the intent.

Culufan Leader: Wow... I guess you are indeed who you say you are. So what are the terms of this proposed agreement?

In exchange for your loyalty to the clan and keeping our secrets we'll help build your wealth, offer protection, and eventually make you apart of something bigger than anyone could imagine. All I ask is that you allow the rumors of the haunted forest to continue to spread like wildfire but also let your people know the truth about us Reapers and that we are here. The only ones that don't need to know we exist are outsiders.

Culufan Leader: Hmm, very well I accept these terms Mr.?

Desmond, call me Desmond but if you see a figure with an animal's skull for a face and green eyes call it Grenth.

Culufan Leader: Very well. How will we be able to find you if need be and what are your plans for now?

We are located dead center of the forest making us an equal distance from all four villages. Travel south until you see an entrance way made of dead tree branches and lined with skulls. A few steps beyond that the descent into or base, note you should send word ahead so we know to expect you guys without causing you harm. As for now, I'm going to walk along the beach.


Culufan Leader: Very well. Thank you for this meeting and let our alliance forever stand Desmond of clan Reaper.

Desmond stood and bowed showing respect and gratitude
Likewise. he said with a smile before leaving for the beach.
(Sakki) - Killing Intent
Rank: D - S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: N/A
Description: Killing Intent pertains to the ability of the user giving off their pure killing intention and having it affect their opponent and others around them up to the point of paralyzing them. When the Killing Intent is particularly strong, it can even give the victim visions of their own gruesome death, nausea, pain, etc. This can cause the Killing Intent to be confused with a genjutsu, despite not being a genjutsu at all; simply a showcase of intention and power. The target will feel as if facing an overwhelming enemy and, even if not a sensor, will suddenly feel the pressure of the users chakra and its magnitude, making the effect that much more dramatic. To effectively be used, the user needs to focus on his target and concentrate on the killing intent towards it, meaning that one must see the target and be focused on it. The strength of the Killing Intent is dependent on many factors and go through several levels. If a difference in rank smaller than 2 ranks exist, the enemy will feel only the pressure and the ominous presence of their dark intentions. Its enough to lose your grasp on a weapon or stay clinched to it (depending on the situation) or even to hesitate in an attack, stumble or mess up a handseal, all depending on the situation and proximity. The effect is small and normally not that significant but can be effectively used to pressure enemies into making a mistake. If a difference of 2 ranks or more exist, the enemy will be frozen, almost unable to move as the overwhelming killing intent dominates their own conscious and riddles them with nightmarish versions of death. The paralyzation gradually weakens as time passes and can only be maintained while the user is focused on the target. The further away the target, the weaker it is and it can only fully paralyze a target within short range. Similarly, the more targets one focuses on, the weaker the effect is in each one (divinding the effects equally between the number of targets). Lastly, the stronger the user is in relation to the target, the stronger the effect will be. The target can counter Killing Intent directed at it through pain, "mind cleansing" techniques or their own Killing Intent.
Note: Intensity of technique depends on the rank of the user, distance to target and number of targets one is focusing on
Note: Can only be used once
Note: Lasts only while the user is focusing on it and while focusing on it the user can't mold chakra

This post marks the beginning of my (A-rank) mission using these storyboard elements:
  • DISPERSE A MOB
Summary: Arriving to rendezvous with the Reaper Clan for the first time, Seji confronts a mob of his own making.




What a pain?! I shiver from the chilly air breezing on my pale, inflame face. The thin cloak was barely keeping me warm under my fine-collard shirt. The ice sickles forming under my nose was proof. "Man--! This darn weather would kill me!" I was sure to die of frostbite or hypothermia any second. How long has it been? Hours. It felt like forever walking in the endless snow. I was getting aggrieved-- Oh, boy! Just thinking about my skin boiling and face turning red was soothing right now, but I had to keep a cool head, or my sense of direction would be screwed making matters worst.

Am I lost? I furrow through the heavy snow to keep track of my footsteps. Though, I could barely see the trail as the crown of the trees became a deterrent from the sun's rays. They must be against me. Countless of the trees were tightly together, making it difficult to navigate. Even seeing was tough. I peer through a dimly lit space that spans like a mist of shadows. I was looking over my shoulder hallucinating something was there, you would think I was a lunatic-- Well, I am one, but in my defense, that is plain crazy even for me. Despite those obstacles, I somehow manage to clear through the Haunting Forest-- I understand why they call it that. Anyhow, I survive. I was lucky-- Yeah, dumb luck.

Dumb luck indeed, I thought sarcastically. As I reach the forest end, there were two figure's approaching. Old men, from the looks of it. They totter in the snow side by side. Beyond them was a row of small log houses and a larger one at the end. I was astounded; not because there were people, but-- Warmth! I inched closer with my arms stretched out into the air, fantasizing about feeling exuberant sitting next to a cozy fire and snuggled in big blankets.

"They returned!!" An old man yelled, his voice strain. His face was bare and wrinkled. He was spooked. I didn't realize I was that terrifying (of a person). I mean, of course-- I'm not, I'm small. The old man is senile.

"The bandits have returned!!" The other old man whose face was smooth and styled with a Fu Manchu mustache had bolted into the direction of the village, screaming hoarsely as if about to have a stroke.

"What is the meaning of this?!" I asked, no, demanded an answer, but they ran away. I was perplexed. I was furious-- That's right, I could be angry now; "Hey, get back here!!" I shriek.

Seconds later, a crowd of people assembles - mostly burly middle-aged men and their plump wives taking the frontline to their grandfathers and grandmothers who stood behind them with young children and grandchild sparse throughout. Those two old men had one hell of a rallying cry. It was a lionhearted bunch, not their first rodeo it seems. They were layers of fur clothing: bear and fox. I was thinking how they packed into those homes; it was hundreds of them-- A mob, huh?!

They carried pikes, pitchforks, shovels, saws, ax, hammers, among other things. I was taken in awe and fascinated as I gazed upon their unruly faces. They were shouting and pointing. I just stood there unsure what to do. My hands were twitching to kill, but my brain was telling me to show them mercy. After all, this land was supposed Reaper territory. I need the command from the Leader-- my leader now.

"Leave this place!" A woman in the middle of the crowd shouted.

"I cannot," I shamefully responded.

"Why the hell not?" A grumpy old man standing in front of the crowd said. He had one tooth and a long beard, carrying a hammer. He had little patience. He grips his hammer tightly while giving me the stink-eye.

I sighed while clenching my fist. And then my voice boom for everyone to hear.

"I am from the Reaper Clan!!"

There was dead silence; I couldn't read their faces. The mask, I thought. The skull mask was evident I was part of the clan. I push away my cloak, revealing a skull mask tie to my waist. I reach to put it on my face for all to see.

"You should have said that in the first place," A herculean man said, breaking the silence. Their faces turn to smiles and cheers. I'm not the first, I suspected. They pat my back and shook my hand. I was unexpressive-- I wanted to kill them badly. After greeting me, the group disperses and left to their homes or back to their duties. It was surprisingly peaceful.

I was looking over my shoulder hallucinating something was there, you would think I was a lunatic-- Well, I am one, but in my defense, that is plain crazy even for me. Despite those obstacles, I somehow manage to clear through the Haunting Forest-- I understand why they call it that. Anyhow, I survive. I was lucky-- Yeah, dumb luck.

Dumb luck indeed, I thought sarcastically. As I reach the forest end, there were two figure's approaching. Old men, from the looks of it. They totter in the snow side by side. Beyond them was a row of small log houses and a larger one at the end. I was astounded; not because there were people, but-- Warmth! I inched closer with my arms stretched out into the air, fantasizing about feeling exuberant sitting next to a cozy fire and snuggled in big blankets.

"They returned!!" An old man yelled, his voice strain. His face was bare and wrinkled. He was spooked. I didn't realize I was that terrifying (of a person). I mean, of course-- I'm not, I'm small. The old man is senile.

"The bandits have returned!!" The other old man whose face was smooth and styled with a Fu Manchu mustache had bolted into the direction of the village, screaming hoarsely as if about to have a stroke.

"What is the meaning of this?!" I asked, no, demanded an answer, but they ran away. I was perplexed. I was furious-- That's right, I could be angry now; "Hey, get back here!!" I shriek.

Seconds later, a crowd of people assembles - mostly burly middle-aged men and their plump wives taking the frontline to their grandfathers and grandmothers who stood behind them with young children and grandchild sparse throughout. Those two old men had one hell of a rallying cry. It was a lionhearted bunch, not their first rodeo it seems. They were layers of fur clothing: bear and fox. I was thinking how they packed into those homes; it was hundreds of them-- A mob, huh?!

They carried pikes, pitchforks, shovels, saws, ax, hammers, among other things. I was taken in awe and fascinated as I gazed upon their unruly faces. They were shouting and pointing. I just stood there unsure what to do. My hands were twitching to kill, but my brain was telling me to show them mercy. After all, this land was supposed Reaper territory. I need the command from the Leader-- my leader now.

"Leave this place!" A woman in the middle of the crowd shouted.

"I cannot," I shamefully responded.

"Why the hell not?" A grumpy old man standing in front of the crowd said. He had one tooth and a long beard, carrying a hammer. He had little patience. He grips his hammer tightly while giving me the stink-eye.

I sighed while clenching my fist. And then my voice boom for everyone to hear.

"I am from the Reaper Clan!!"

There was dead silence; I couldn't read their faces. The mask, I thought. The skull mask was evident I was part of the clan. I push away my cloak, revealing a skull mask tie to my waist. I reach to put it on my face for all to see.

"You should have said that in the first place," A herculean man said, breaking the silence. Their faces turn to smiles and cheers. I'm not the first, I suspected. They pat my back and shook my hand. I was unexpressive-- I wanted to kill them badly. After greeting me, the group disperses and left to their homes or back to their duties. It was surprisingly peaceful.

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
-Facilitate a major peace agreement(5)

Summary: Desmond wanting to modernize the land goes to get approval from the Leader of Cufulan.
Returning from sea Desmond saw that the villagers of Culufan where going about their day to day business without a care in the world now that the random disappearances had stopped. As he walked through the town he saw Seji standing there in the town square. Yo. said, Desmond, as he made his way to Seji. I've set us up an operations post in the center of the forest. It's not hard to find just keep traveling straight and you'll eventually come across a sort a gateway made out or dead trees decorated with skulls. Beyond that is an entrance to an underground cavern which leads to the hideout. Feel free to go there and pick a room to claim as your own I'm going to meet with the Village Chief and do some more exploring on my own. Also, if you would keep an eye out for our other member so that he doesn't get lost and help him set up a room as well. Desmond carried on waving his hand signifying he was moving on.


Arriving at the leaders' manor once more Desmond knocked upon the door:
Village Leader: ~Opends Door~ Ah Desmond hello! Please please come in. What brings you here? Does it have to do with the miss understanding with your friend?

~Enters Home~ Misunderstanding? Please explain.

Village Leader: Recants the events of Seji's arrival

~Laughing~ Well glad to see nothing went array and that you all are starting to protect yourselves. Also, I must apologize for my haste last time we met I forgot to as your name.

Byoto: Ah that you did the name is Byoto current Village Chief of Culufan.

~extends his hand out~ Nice to officially meet you Byoto of Culufan. Anyways what brings me here is that I want to discuss possibly forming an alliance with the other three villages of the Land. Would this be something you'd be interested in?

Byoto: Hmm well our current situation is pretty decent we all tend to ourselves but what did you have in mind?

~Leans against the wall~ I wanted to turn this land into a central hub. Utilize your connections to the Bay to make and bring in goods from the other towns to turn this into a potential port/market. Ideally what I would like is have the for major villages unit to form a council comprised of the four leaders and a reaper representative. From there we would work on developing the land around the forest connecting all the villages to form a city. This city will, of course, have a new name but will also have four districts dedicated and named after the four major villages.

Byoto: ~Placing his hand upon his chin~ I see so essential you want us to develop from individual villages to one major Seaport City. I like the idea and since you've done helped us I agree with the plan, but I don't know how the other village Leaders might welcome the news.

~Leans against the wall~ Good point. I guess I'll visit them but before I take off do you have any information about the other leaders that may help me win them over?

Byoto: Well to the Eastern border is Crescentia, their village head is a woman named Chi. She tends to have a bad attitude but that's due to the having to constantly fight off raiders from the Kori caverns. On the southern border is the village of Chebika, surprisingly enough their current village leader is a kid named Alistair. His parents have recently died leaving the 15-year-old to inherit the title though there have been rumors of a group trying to overthrow him. Finally to our West is the village of Cactus, village leader is a man Named Kira. He tends to be on guard a lot but I believe that has to due to his bloodline. You see he is of Hyuga decent but doesn't bare the brand, this is because his ancestors
though the war was over thought having the brand was still wrong and fled to these lands.

Hmmm, I see. I'm sure the bandits I exterminated in the forest wrought havoc on their villages as well and so I'll use that as an opener for negotiations. I believe I can appeal to Kira, Chi I might be able to win her over by helping her bandit problem, and Alistair I will help by snuffing out this revolt.

Byoto: Those seem like sound plans. I look forward to hearing good news upon your return. Oh and before you leave
take this seal, it will vouch for my approval to this agreement which means all you need to do is get the seals of the other three.

I appreciate it Byoto. If
Seji or any other members
of the reapers come looking for me do let them know of my plans. See ya soon. ~ Leaves the building~

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
-Facilitate a major peace agreement(5)
-Meet with a major faction representative (4)
-Explore a landmark (1)
-Lend a helping hand in one of your landmarks (1)

Summary: Desmond continuing his goal to modernize and strengthen the land goes to get approval from the Leader of Crescentia.
After a couple days of travel through the forest, Desmond arrived in the village of Crescentia. Upon his arrival, however, due to his grenth armor, a young girl and what he had assumed to be her parent shrieked in horror and fled into the village. "Damn I should've taken the armor off before walking out of the woods..." thought Desmond as he scratched his head. After taking a few more steps into the village he heard the unsheathing of a blade to his back right activating his byakugan he saw a woman's figure and swinging a katana at his head. Desmond crouched ducking the blade followed by a swift kick to the solar plexus knocking her out. Being polite he'd catch her now limp body before it hit the ground and lay her down gently placing her blade down next to her. Shortly after that Desmond noticed the arrival of several other females via ground and rooftops of the surrounding buildings; at the front stood a woman bluish hair, green eyes, pale skin, and wielding a giant clever.

Woman: Kill'em. ~said ever so calmly~

On her command, 5 women charged two from above and three from the ground in a triangular formation. Smart. said, Desmond, as he prepared himself. Not wanting to harm the women and mark himself as an enemy Desmond would refrain from using ninjutsu; as they entered short range Desmond channeled chakra into their minds placing them in a genjutsu. In this illusion, they would see several explosions go off and the ground seemingly collapses around them, they all proceeded to scream in fear of falling into the now bottomless pit when in reality they all had simply fallen to the ground screaming in fear.

Woman: Bastard. ~said ever so calmy~

The woman who seemed to be in charge and who Desmond assumed was Chi dashed at him with great speed arriving 1m from him clever already mid-swing in the blink of an eye. Luckily for Desmond, he had the byakugan allowing him to track her and react accordingly by transforming his torso into water just before her blade hit its mark. Desmond half expected her to lose control due to its massive size but she effortlessly redirected the blade towards Desmond's head. "Shit!" Desmond thought to himself but alas the blade stopped as he and the woman heard a girl's scream and a man voice in the distance. They both looked to see a burly looking man trying to run off with a young girl, Desmond's adversary dashed towards the man, however, she didn't notice the trap laying in wait.

As she closed in on her prey several explosive tags went off sending her flying backward. The man turned and laughed as the woman's legs were now damaged and he had nothing to fear. Several seconds later other men looking as deplorable as ever started to surround the village.

Man: We've finally got you, Chi! ~laughs hesterically~ You and your village of women will fetch us a pretty penny on the market and those we don't sell... Well... I guess we'll find some use for you. ~said with a perverted smile~

Chi: I'LL KILL YOU ALL! ~said in anger and desperation~

After hearing such disgusting words Desmond projected his killing intent across the whole village. The wind began to howl, chills went through everyone present, the women of the village all clenched their weapons tightly but their legs quivered unable to move, the men surrounding the village slowly let go of their hostages, dropped their weapons and pissed themselves. Chi felt the chill of death and her hands trembled for the first time since she was a child turning. All who looked towards Desmond saw only a man engulfed in an aura of death.

Man: Wha... what is that...?!?!?!?!~voice of despair~

Villagers of Crescentia... close your eyes...

Unlike her subjects, Chi kept her gaze upon Desmond eye's widening after every kill he made. She watched as Desmond took his time killing the men that attacked, some he gauged out their eye's others he skinned, some lost limbs while others organs. It was something out of a horror story, Chi began to believe the forest was truly haunted and that the man or creature before her was really some type of demon from hell. Desmond blood stained walked towards Chi.

Chi: Ple... please... take me and spar my girls! ~tears flow from her face~

Desmond walked past her and went to the man holding the girl at this point he'd pissed himself, shit himself, and vomited all over himself.

I'm going to let you live so you can go back to your boss and tell him of the horrors you saw and that the demons of the Haunted Forest are real.

Man: Tha... thank you oh merciful spirit!

Merciful? ~evil laugh~ I'm not showing you mercy you're simply just the messenger wishing for death!

Desmond lifted his mask a to show his deranged smile and white eyes of his byakugan just before surgically removing his genitals. Releasing his killing intent the man ran crying back to his hideout.

Turning back to Chi Desmond saw that all of the villagers had surrounded her weapons drawn ready to fight to the death for their leader. Desmond looked at them all, deactivating his byakugan Desmond removed his hood and mask revealing to their surprise very human face.

I'm Desmond of the Reaper Clan and I have come here to have peace talks with your leader Chi. I am also a medical shinobi and would more than willing to restore her legs back to normal in exchange for a civilized conversation. said Desmond with an oddly friendly smile on his face.

The women let him pass but kept blades literally on him as he treated Chi. First activating Teikouryoku he sterilized his hands and body, followed by giving her a BRP. He then sterilized her legs before placing his hands on them one on each and channeling yang chakra into them. This caused a green aura to form around them and around her legs rapidly healing the tissue. With her legs restored, Chi proceeded to stand:

Chi: Stand down sisters I will see what this one wants. In the meantime please see to the children and clean up the mess left from the ba... battle. ~Chi hesitated as she knew that was more of a one-sided slaughter than a battle.~ Follow me.

Desmond followed Chi to a building in the center of the village.

Chi: Alright. What is it that you want?

Well, it's quite simple. I want to unite the four major villages as one.

Chi: And why would you, the other leaders and I want that?

For one if we united we could turn this land into a central port of trade for the Badlands of Earth increasing the money flow here. In your case, that means the development of defensive walls to keep out unwanted parties and of course more bodies to help defend these walls.

Chi: Hmm, and how do I know you aren't just trying to get me to sign myself and my girls into slavery or worse?

Chi... if I wanted to kill or harm anyone here I would've. As you can see when fighting you and your girls I used non-lethal force and when fight ones who threated my potential allies... well yea. All I want is to modernize this land and create a safe prosperous home for all who live in it. If it's of any consolation I plan to have my clan expand past these borders to bring in more territories which means even more security and the annihilation of the bandits that trouble you.

Chi: I can't see any reason to doubt you but you must understand why I'm uneasy about trusting you. You come out of the Haunted forest dressed as a spirit/demon then proceed to turn hardened warriors into frightened children before massacring them.

Yea I thought about that just after I walked out of the forest but let me ask you something. Have you recently been united with girls you had thought lost to the spirits of the forest?

Chi: ~confused stare~ Yes. Why?

Did they mention a demon/spirit freeing them from bandits that held them captive?

Chi: Yes...

That was me. Like I said before I and the Reapers have made our home here and would like to have working alliances with the people of the land.

~Desmond pulls out the seal of Cufulan~

As you can see the people of Cufulan already trust us and with Crescentia's help I'm sure I could get the other two villages on board as well.

Chi: Hmmm. Alright, I'll trust you for now but if I think anything is astray I won't hesitate to kill you or your clan. By the way, what was your name again?

Desmond and it's a pleasure to officially meet you Chi of Crescentia. ~extends hand~

Chi: ~Places seal on the scroll and shakes Desmond's hand~ There its official. Now get out of here I have a village to tend.

Desmond smiles, placing his mask and hood back on as he leaves and disappears into the forest once more.

Jutsu:
(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of hand seals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.


To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop their unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.


Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month has passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks away while those of sage rank can see as far as three away, but this doesn't extend beyond an ocean landmark.


( Genjutsu: Iwa Kōka Genjutsu ) - Illusionary Arts: Rockslide Genjutsu
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage: N/A
Description: This is a technique that can be cast on multiple targets. The user creates an illusion where their target(s) experience several explosions going off near and around them. The ground around and beneath the target(s) will begin to collapse and cause panic and mental damage from the perceived reality of the explosions. The technique, however, is weak when cast upon multiple targets as it only takes one individual to release the technique for large groups of people.
Note: This technique can be cast on multiple targets but when done it only takes one person to release the technique for all parties involved with genjutsu kai. However, all members need to be within short range distance.


(Suiton: Mizu Kawarimi) - Water Style: Water Replacement
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: The user can freely transform his body into liquid. This form allows him to avoid taking direct damage from many physical attacks but can not attack while in this form.


(Sakki) - Killing Intent
Rank: D-S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: N/A
Description: Killing Intent pertains to the ability of the user giving off their pure killing intention and having it affect their opponent and others around them up to the point of paralyzing them. When the Killing Intent is particularly strong, it can even give the victim visions of their own gruesome death, nausea, pain, etc. This can cause the Killing Intent to be confused with a genjutsu, despite not being a genjutsu at all; simply a showcase of intention and power. The target will feel as if facing an overwhelming enemy and, even if not a sensor, will suddenly feel the pressure of the users chakra and its magnitude, making the effect that much more dramatic. To effectively be used, the user needs to focus on his target and concentrate on the killing intent towards it, meaning that one must see the target and be focused on it. The strength of the Killing Intent is dependent on many factors and go through several levels. If a difference in rank smaller than 2 ranks exist, the enemy will feel only the pressure and the ominous presence of their dark intentions. It's enough to lose your grasp on a weapon or stay clinched to it (depending on the situation) or even to hesitate in an attack, stumble or mess up a hand seal, all depending on the situation and proximity. The effect is small and normally not that significant but can be effectively used to pressure enemies into making a mistake. If a difference of 2 ranks or more exist, the enemy will be frozen, almost unable to move as the overwhelming killing intent dominates their own conscious and riddles them with nightmarish versions of death. The paralyzation gradually weakens as time passes and can only be maintained while the user is focused on the target. The further away the target, the weaker it is and it can only fully paralyze a target within short range. Similarly, the more targets one focuses on, the weaker the effect is in each one (dividing the effects equally between the number of targets). Lastly, the stronger the user is in relation to the target, the stronger the effect will be. The target can counter Killing Intent directed at it through pain, "mind cleansing" techniques or their own Killing Intent.
Note: Intensity of technique depends on the rank of the user, distance to target and number of targets one is focusing on
Note: Can only be used once
Note: Lasts only while the user is focusing on it and while focusing on it the user can't mold chakra


(Iryō Ninjutsu: Kirei Tomo) Medical Technique: I clean all of me
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The medical shinobi fills his palms with small amounts of extremely aggressive chakra and runs them over the areas of his body he wants to clean of any microorganisms, harmful substances, etc. The chakra will eliminate any inert harmful substance or microorganism present in that area. Normally this technique is done on the hands and lower arms just before having contact with a patient but can be applied to the whole body in specific situations (before performing surgery, if the enemy is highly contagious, etc). After being done, the chakra automatically turns back to his regular, non-harmful and calm one.


(Ketsueki no Zōka Piru) Blood-Replenishing Pill
Type: Healing
Description and Background: Contains high concentrations of amino acids, iron, and mitosis inducing enzymes designed to turbo boost the production of erythrocytes from hematopoietic stem cells in the human body. This pill alleviates and cancels the symptoms of blood loss after one turn. These pills are a basic medicine medical ninjas use or administer in combat and are essentially dark red small round pills which are swallowed and absorbed through the mucosa in the stomach
Description of Side Effects:
-Taking 2 pills leads to increased blood pressure, and increased the likelihood of blood clots forming, especially through trauma.
-Taking 3 pills overstresses the cardiovascular system and causes an aneurysm after 4 turns.


(Iryō Ninjutsu: Kirei Itto) Medical Technique: I clean all of him
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The medical shinobi fills his palms with moderate amounts of semi-aggressive chakra and runs them over any areas of the patient’s body he wants to clean of any microorganisms, controlling the chakra flow constantly so it doesn't become too lethal. The area affected is 4 times the area of the users' hands. After being done, his chakra automatically turns back to his regular, non-harmful and calm one


( Iryō Ninjutsu: Shōsen Jutsu ) - Medical Technique: Mystic Palm Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: D-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 mainly Yang chakra onto their hands, forming an aura of greenish healing 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 deal with poisons or toxins, though it can heal its damage. Additionally, perhaps its more severe drawback is the chakra cost, which, as the technique stands as a jack of all trades in terms of medical ninjutsu, 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, specially in internal injuries.

My mission is tied to these previous missions:


This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
-Facilitate a major peace agreement(5)




Summary: Desmond wanting to modernize the land goes to get approval from the Leader of Cufulan.
Returning from sea Desmond saw that the villagers of Culufan where going about their day to day business without a care in the world now that the random disappearances had stopped. As he walked through the town he saw Seji standing there in the town square. Yo. said, Desmond, as he made his way to Seji. I've set us up an operations post in the center of the forest. It's not hard to find just keep traveling straight and you'll eventually come across a sort a gateway made out or dead trees decorated with skulls. Beyond that is an entrance to an underground cavern which leads to the hideout. Feel free to go there and pick a room to claim as your own I'm going to meet with the Village Chief and do some more exploring on my own. Also, if you would keep an eye out for our other member so that he doesn't get lost and help him set up a room as well. Desmond carried on waving his hand signifying he was moving on.





Arriving at the leaders' manor once more Desmond knocked upon the door:
Village Leader: ~Opends Door~ Ah Desmond hello! Please please come in. What brings you here? Does it have to do with the miss understanding with your friend?
Mission using these storyboard elements:


Assassinate the enemy commander
Destroy a large community
Safely transport highly classified information
Experiment with very advanced ninjutsu
Facilitate a major peace agreement
Guard someone very important
Establish control over a hostile area


Summary:





~Enters Home~ Misunderstanding? Please explain.




Village Leader: Recants the events of Seji's arrival




~Laughing~ Well glad to see nothing went array and that you all are starting to protect yourselves. Also, I must apologize for my haste last time we met I forgot to as your name.




Byoto: Ah that you did the name is Byoto current Village Chief of Culufan.




~extends his hand out~ Nice to officially meet you Byoto of Culufan. Anyways what brings me here is that I want to discuss possibly forming an alliance with the other three villages of the Land. Would this be something you'd be interested in?




Byoto: Hmm well our current situation is pretty decent we all tend to ourselves but what did you have in mind?




~Leans against the wall~ I wanted to turn this land into a central hub. Utilize your connections to the Bay to make and bring in goods from the other towns to turn this into a potential port/market. Ideally what I would like is have the for major villages unit to form a council comprised of the four leaders and a reaper representative. From there we would work on developing the land around the forest connecting all the villages to form a city. This city will, of course, have a new name but will also have four districts dedicated and named after the four major villages.

Byoto: ~Placing his hand upon his chin~ I see so essential you want us to develop from individual villages to one major Seaport City. I like the idea and since you've done helped us I agree with the plan, but I don't know how the other village Leaders might welcome the news.




~Leans against the wall~ Good point. I guess I'll visit them but before I take off do you have any information about the other leaders that may help me win them over?




Byoto: Well to the Eastern border is Crescentia, their village head is a woman named Chi. She tends to have a bad attitude but that's due to the having to constantly fight off raiders from the Kori caverns. On the southern border is the village of Chebika, surprisingly enough their current village leader is a kid named Alistair. His parents have recently died leaving the 15-year-old to inherit the title though there have been rumors of a group trying to overthrow him. Finally to our West is the village of Cactus, village leader is a man Named Kira. He tends to be on guard a lot but I believe that has to due to his bloodline. You see he is of Hyuga decent but doesn't bare the brand, this is because his ancestors

Hmmm, I see. I'm sure the bandits I exterminated in the forest wrought havoc on their villages as well and so I'll use that as an opener for negotiations. I believe I can appeal to Kira, Chi I might be able to win her over by helping her bandit problem, and Alistair I will help by snuffing out this revolt.

This post marks the beginning of my (A-rank) mission using these storyboard elements:



  • DISPERSE A MOB







Summary: Arriving to rendezvous with the Reaper Clan for the first time, Seji confronts a mob of his own making.










What a pain?! I shiver from the chilly air breezing on my pale, inflame face. The thin cloak was barely keeping me warm under my fine-collard shirt. The ice sickles forming under my nose was proof. "Man--! This darn weather would kill me!" I was sure to die of frostbite or hypothermia any second. How long has it been? Hours. It felt like forever walking in the endless snow. I was getting aggrieved-- Oh, boy! Just thinking about my skin boiling and face turning red was soothing right now, but I had to keep a cool head, or my sense of direction would be screwed making matters worst.




Am I lost? I furrow through the heavy snow to keep track of my footsteps. Though, I could barely see the trail as the crown of the trees became a deterrent from the sun's rays. They must be against me. Countless of the trees were tightly together, making it difficult to navigate. Even seeing was tough. I peer through a dimly lit space that spans like a mist of shadows. I was looking over my shoulder hallucinating something was there, you would think I was a lunatic-- Well, I am one, but in my defense, that is plain crazy even for me. Despite those obstacles, I somehow manage to clear through the Haunting Forest-- I understand why they call it that. Anyhow, I survive. I was lucky-- Yeah, dumb luck.




Dumb luck indeed, I thought sarcastically. As I reach the forest end, there were two figure's approaching. Old men, from the looks of it. They totter in the snow side by side. Beyond them was a row of small log houses and a larger one at the end. I was astounded; not because there were people, but-- Warmth! I inched closer with my arms stretched out into the air, fantasizing about feeling exuberant sitting next to a cozy fire and snuggled in big blankets.




"They returned!!" An old man yelled, his voice strain. His face was bare and wrinkled. He was spooked. I didn't realize I was that terrifying (of a person). I mean, of course-- I'm not, I'm small. The old man is senile.




"The bandits have returned!!" The other old man whose face was smooth and styled with a Fu Manchu mustache had bolted into the direction of the village, screaming hoarsely as if about to have a stroke.




"What is the meaning of this?!" I asked, no, demanded an answer, but they ran away. I was perplexed. I was furious-- That's right, I could be angry now; "Hey, get back here!!" I shriek.




Seconds later, a crowd of people assembles - mostly burly middle-aged men and their plump wives taking the frontline to their grandfathers and grandmothers who stood behind them with young children and grandchild sparse throughout. Those two old men had one hell of a rallying cry. It was a lionhearted bunch, not their first rodeo it seems. They were layers of fur clothing: bear and fox. I was thinking how they packed into those homes; it was hundreds of them-- A mob, huh?!




They carried pikes, pitchforks, shovels, saws, ax, hammers, among other things. I was taken in awe and fascinated as I gazed upon their unruly faces. They were shouting and pointing. I just stood there unsure what to do. My hands were twitching to kill, but my brain was telling me to show them mercy. After all, this land was supposed Reaper territory. I need the command from the Leader-- my leader now.




"Leave this place!" A woman in the middle of the crowd shouted.




"I cannot," I shamefully responded.




"Why the hell not?" A grumpy old man standing in front of the crowd said. He had one tooth and a long beard, carrying a hammer. He had little patience. He grips his hammer tightly while giving me the stink-eye.




I sighed while clenching my fist. And then my voice boom for everyone to hear.




"I am from the Reaper Clan!!"




There was dead silence; I couldn't read their faces. The mask, I thought. The skull mask was evident I was part of the clan. I push away my cloak, revealing a skull mask tie to my waist. I reach to put it on my face for all to see.




"You should have said that in the first place," A herculean man said, breaking the silence. Their faces turn to smiles and cheers. I'm not the first, I suspected. They pat my back and shook my hand. I was unexpressive-- I wanted to kill them badly. After greeting me, the group disperses and left to their homes or back to their duties. It was surprisingly peaceful.

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
-Meet with a major faction representative(4)
-Negotiate for or speak on behalf of your clan(3)
-Defend yourself from wild beasts(2)




Summary: Desmond still alone in this land decides to spark up some negotiations to benefit the clan.
Waking up from a slumber Desmond reactivated his byakugan which upon doing so he simply saw what was there before Was I so exhausted that I passed out? he said as he stood up and dusted himself off. " I need to talk to the village head." he said to himself as he left the hideout. Not in a rush, he took his time walking throughout the forest but of course not to far into this stroll he heard growls in the distance. It, of course, turned out to be a pack of dire wolves You've got to be @#$%ing kidding me! Desmond exclaimed as the wolves pounced.
(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of handseals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.




To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions, and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop their unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.




Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month having passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks away while those of sage rank can see as far as three away, but this doesn't extend beyond an ocean landmark.
Biting his lower lip to draw blood over his tattoo Desmond summoned Cynn in a poof of smoke. Reading Desmond's mind Cynn swiftly took out the three hounds with a triple dynamic entry. The Wolves began to whimper when Cynn invaded their minds Listen here mongrels. I beat you all in one fell swoop and decided not to kill you lot. For this Kindness, I expect you to see him as your new alpha. The wolves knelt before Desmond and he in return pet them on the heads and gave them treats. Cynn, tell them that they are free to do whatever they want in the forest as long as they don't attack or harm anyone I grant entrance, inform me of new persons entering, and spy on unknown people. nodding in compliance Cynn relayed the message. The hounds howled and took off, Cynn proceeded to subjugate all animals within the forest and relayed the same message to them as well as Desmond continued to the end of the forest.
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Cynn) - Summoning Technique: Cynn

She stands about 7ft tall when standing on two legs and can be ridden when on all fours. Unlike most of her kind she was born without a mouth but granted the ability to communicate telepathically to those she trust. She has also been Keji's personal summon since the day he first discovered the species. Due to this they've trained side for years granting her more tai prowess compared to her peers(+10 to all tai) and has since matched Keji speed(w/o leg weights).




Notes:

(Toripuru Dainamikku Entorii) -Triple Dynamic Entry
Rank:B
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user uses Dynamic Entry on the opponent and then appears behind them to use it again. They are blasted into the air where they use a third Dynamic Entry to knock the enemy to the ground with great force and speed.




Nearing the forest edge he deactivated his byakugan and changed back into his civilian clothes. Now changed Desmond made his way to the village head's residence and knocked on his door:
Culufan Leader: Yes, hello?




Hiya, names Desmond and I'm pretty new to town but I wanted to talk to you about some important matters in private if you would.




Culufan Leader: Erm, yes sure come in.




Enters home

Culufan Leader:
Now what is it that you wanted to talk about?




As you know the disappearing villagers have returned from the forest.

Culufan Leader: Yes they explained that they had been captured by bandits this whole time. They also said that the rumors about the forest are true. That this deathly figure appeared within a mist of pure white that shortly after turned a crimson red revealing his figure to them. They mentioned that they were scared for their lives but the spirit actually freed them and let them escape.




Interesting will I'm here to confirm their story. It's all true and I was that deathly figure in the mist. You see sir I am a shinobi from a distant land and I am also apart of a clan called Reapers. We've come to this land seeking to make it our home but while I can't speak for my counterparts I personally would like a peaceful agreement between us and the villages.

Culufan Leader: Oh you don't say. *begins to laugh* You expect me to beli...




Desmond interrupts the man by projecting his killing intent upon him,
As you can see now that I wasn't lying maybe we can get back to negotiations. Desmond released the intent.

Culufan Leader: Wow... I guess you are indeed who you say you are. So what are the terms of this proposed agreement?




In exchange for your loyalty to the clan and keeping our secrets we'll help build your wealth, offer protection, and eventually make you apart of something bigger than anyone could imagine. All I ask is that you allow the rumors of the haunted forest to continue to spread like wildfire but also let your people know the truth about us Reapers and that we are here. The only ones that don't need to know we exist are outsiders.

Culufan Leader: Hmm, very well I accept these terms Mr.?




Desmond, call me Desmond but if you see a figure with an animal's skull for a face and green eyes call it Grenth.

Culufan Leader: Very well. How will we be able to find you if need be and what are your plans for now?

We are located dead center of the forest making us an equal distance from all four villages. Travel south until you see an entrance way made of dead tree branches and lined with skulls. A few steps beyond that the descent into or base, note you should send word ahead so we know to expect you guys without causing you harm. As for now, I'm going to walk along the beach.





Culufan Leader: Very well. Thank you for this meeting and let our alliance forever stand Desmond of clan Reaper.




Desmond stood and bowed showing respect and gratitude
Likewise. he said with a smile before leaving for the beach.
(Sakki) - Killing Intent
Rank: D - S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: N/A
Description: Killing Intent pertains to the ability of the user giving off their pure killing intention and having it affect their opponent and others around them up to the point of paralyzing them. When the Killing Intent is particularly strong, it can even give the victim visions of their own gruesome death, nausea, pain, etc. This can cause the Killing Intent to be confused with a genjutsu, despite not being a genjutsu at all; simply a showcase of intention and power. The target will feel as if facing an overwhelming enemy and, even if not a sensor, will suddenly feel the pressure of the users chakra and its magnitude, making the effect that much more dramatic. To effectively be used, the user needs to focus on his target and concentrate on the killing intent towards it, meaning that one must see the target and be focused on it. The strength of the Killing Intent is dependent on many factors and go through several levels. If a difference in rank smaller than 2 ranks exist, the enemy will feel only the pressure and the ominous presence of their dark intentions. Its enough to lose your grasp on a weapon or stay clinched to it (depending on the situation) or even to hesitate in an attack, stumble or mess up a handseal, all depending on the situation and proximity. The effect is small and normally not that significant but can be effectively used to pressure enemies into making a mistake. If a difference of 2 ranks or more exist, the enemy will be frozen, almost unable to move as the overwhelming killing intent dominates their own conscious and riddles them with nightmarish versions of death. The paralyzation gradually weakens as time passes and can only be maintained while the user is focused on the target. The further away the target, the weaker it is and it can only fully paralyze a target within short range. Similarly, the more targets one focuses on, the weaker the effect is in each one (divinding the effects equally between the number of targets). Lastly, the stronger the user is in relation to the target, the stronger the effect will be. The target can counter Killing Intent directed at it through pain, "mind cleansing" techniques or their own Killing Intent.
Note: Intensity of technique depends on the rank of the user, distance to target and number of targets one is focusing on
Note: Can only be used once
Note: Lasts only while the user is focusing on it and while focusing on it the user can't mold chakra

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
-Lend a helping hand in one of your landmarks(1)
-Build something for the Clan(1)
-Destroy a large group or settlement(5)




Summary: With no sign of Ax or Seji Desmond decides to take out the criminals, free the captives, and utilize their defeat to benefit the Reapers.
Having waited several hours Desmond still had no word of either Seji or Ax "Maybe they got lost or just arrived in another city?" he thought to himself. Standing up he developed a plan to take out the bandits and use their deaths to benefit the clan. Vanishing from his current location he reappeared directly behind the female and her ninken and released a surge of raiton paralyzing the two as they went to turn around. This action would also be followed by the immediate drawing of his right hidden blade and a 360-degree spin utilizing the blade to sever their spinal cords from their brain stems causing death. Rest in peace. he said as he knelt down to close their eyes.
(Raiton: Chidori Nagashi) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds Current
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short (Mid if channeled through a medium)
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A (+10 if used to boost weapon damage)
Description: This jutsu allows the user to generate non-focused electricity from their body. It can be used as an omnidirectional attack or be channeled through weapons, the ground or other conductive mediums. Because the electricity isn't focused, it doesn't kill on contact, instead, it has great numbing and paralyzing effects. To channel Nagashi through a medium, the user needs to focus the technique into one of his hands which will then be put in contact with the medium and can only choose to either do a widespread attack throughout his whole body or to channel it into something; he cannot achieve both usages at the same time. Despite not having many destructive or damaging properties, Nagashi can be used to destroy low rank earthen and wooden structures and even negate chakra on the ground to stop high ranked earth and wood techniques. It has also been noted that Lightning Specialists that have mastered Lightning to the highest degree can resist total paralyzation, although they still feel the pain and numbing effects.
Note: Paralyzation lasts 1 turn if successful but is ineffective against bios who have a primary Lightning Specialty
With the gate guards down Desmond recanted the remainder of the traffickers "5 sleeping in the tents, 4 sitting by the fire, 1 pissing, 4 guarding the captives, and 6 drinking in the back." he thought as he used the moister in the air and snow to create a thick mist blanketing the encampment. Utilizing the cover Desmond dashed towards the fire dowsing it with water; this caused almost complete darkness leaving only the little natural light in the forest. This caused the bandits to panic just a little as they stood up and grabbed their weapons, Desmond unannounced to the ones by the fire had remained crouched in the fire pit. Weaving a single seal he created and an orb of what above himself and immediate after started projecting his voice randomly throughout the camp. This caused a widespread panic as the bandits began to talk The forest is actually haunted!, Demons!, God save us! it appeared that they began to believe the rumors them themselves created.
(Kirigakure no Jutsu) - Hiding in Mist Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: D
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 10
Damage: N/A
Description: This displacement technique creates a thick mist to spring forth by lifting up some water from either a pre-existing source or expelled from their mouth, then goes in and out of sight at will from within the pearly-white realm. The mist's thickness is controlled by the amount of chakra kneaded into it. It can't fool the Byakugan, but, due to the mist being created with the user's chakra, any Sharingan and Rinnegan-user will see the mist coloured by their opponent's chakra, which will effectively hide the user from the dōjutsu.








Note: Can be created through releasing from mouth or manipulating a nearby water source.








(Suiton: Suiryūben) - Water Style: Water Dragon Whip
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: After performing the Tiger hand seal, the user creates an orb of water from which several sharp whips of water emerge. Those whips can then be directed towards one or multiple targets, impaling them on impact.








(Utsusemi no Jutsu) - Empty Cicada Shell Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Forming the needed hand seal Ram, a shinobi can project his voice to a different area to hide their location and the number of allies at their side. It is an excellent complement to stealth tactics.
As all this was going down Desmond would utilize his byakugan to pinpoint the enemies locations allowing for dead accurate whip strikes from the previously created orb as he ran around taking out others on his own. All that could be heard was weapon fire, running, blades clashing, kunai/shuriken hitting flesh and trees, and deafening screams as the mist slowly turned a blood red. Time passed and the mist dissipated, the captives who had heard the commotion and seen the crimson mist form now saw a tall dark figure with an animal's skull for a face and glowing green eyes covered in blood and surround by bodies, limbs, guts, etc.. Walking over to the captives began to scream, Desmond upon arriving at the cage took his blade and broke open the lock opening the door You have been sparred... Go... Home to your .... Families. he said as he pointed to a path he marked on the way into the forest. Still shocked they all stared, NNNNNNNOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!! Desmond yelled in the most blood-curdling voice he could muster. The group ran for their lives Desmond watched from a distance to make sure they made it back to Culufan.




Once they where safe Desmond wove four seals and used his chakra to create a 5m deep tunnel just behind the entrance to the bandit camp as he liked the feel it gave. Walking down into the tunnel he reached the end and channeled his chakra into the ground once more creating a 20mx20m cavern 15m below the surface. He then created several pillars throughout the cavern to provide structural support preventing the ceiling from collapsing in followed by several reinforced walls to further increase the structure's integrity and create several rooms.

(Doton no Jutsu) - Earth Release Technique
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: D
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Descripton: Creates small pillars of earth, small tools, and small shields of earth




(Doton: Ton'neru chika no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Tunneling Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: The user after performing the required hand seals Ram → Dog → Rat → Bird is able to create a wide tunnel in the ground, this cannot travel through rock though or anything with a high density. The large tunnel that is created allows the user to transport others without detection.
Note: The initial entry of the technique is short range.




(Doton: Tajū Doryūheki) - Earth Release: Multiple Mudwall Technique
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: Like the parent technique, it creates a reinforced wall of earth to be used as a defensive mechanism. However, the technique works in a different manner. Using a pre-existing source of earth, it allows the user to create multiple walls of earth, further fortifying their defense instead of forming a single wall, by slamming his hands on the ground.
"This would be a good place to start to grow our clan." he thought to himself as he rested along the wall next to the entrance to see if either of his allies show.

Summary: Desmond seems to be the 1st of the Reapers to arrive in the territory, and so takes it upon himself to explore and learn of the land. During this process, however, a strange person is seen to which Desmond pursues.
Arriving at a village Desmond looked around, only to see a bunch of unfamiliar faces So Ax and Seji haven't arrived yet. Proceeding to walk further into the village Desmond began to talk to some of the villagers:
Excuse me. Hello, I'm new to the area and was wondering if you could help a guy out. said Desmond whilst smiling and scratching his head.




Village Male: Sure no problem. What would you like to know?




Well first, is this the only village in this land? If not, how many are there? And is there a capital?




Village Male: Whoa slow down lad...




"Lad? If only he knew my actual age..." Desmond thought to himself




Village Male: Now no we aren't the only village I would say I know of at least three others. As far as a capital there isn't one we all govern ourselves and trade amongst ourselves.




Interesting what might be the names of these villages and is there a chief, mayor, or village head of some sort?




Village Male: Yes, you are currently in Culufan dead center of the northern border with the Aisu Bay Beach. Then there's Cactus on the western border, Crescentia on the eastern border, and Chebika on the southern border. As for leadership, each town has a village head.




What do you all do for trade?




Village Man: Well, all four villages are primarily lumber villages but those close to the Aisu Bay also trade in sea goods.




Whats the name of that forest? Is that where you get your lumber? Does it have any game? If so do the pelts and meat also sell well?




Village Man(demeanor changes): That is called the Haunted forest... we get our lumber from the outskirts and while there's plenty of fauna within it very few, travel further than the outskirts.




Why such a name?




Village Man: Because all who enter the forest never come out and at night you can hear the moans, screams, and calls of the ones who vanished. Sometimes calling for loved ones luring them into the forest to never be seen again.




Thank you for your ti... Desmond hears a strange noise and looks up to see a young girl walking towards the forest. Rapidly dashing to the girl he wraps his arms around her and in doing so saw a shadowy figure looming just out of sight. Jumping back to the man's position Desmond handed him the girl and two photos one of Ax the other of Seji. Take her away from here! And spread the word if you see either of these two men tell them to head into the forest! the man left Desmond watched as the shadowy figure took off deep into the forest. Making sure no one was watching Desmond put on his Reaper gear. Upon doing so he activated his byakugan and ran after the figure.

(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of hand seals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.




To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop their unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.




Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month having passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks away while those of sage rank can see as far as three away, but this doesn't extend beyond an ocean landmark.
Upon entering the forest it was easy to identify the shadowy figure as a man due to his byakugan and also thanks to this he was able to track him from a far enough and not be seen. Whilst traveling high in the trees Desmond marked several them with kunai to make it easy for the guys to follow if they came. He also took note of all the wildlife and noted the massive amounts of snow and little sunlight due to the tightly packed and fully flourished trees "This is almost perpetual darkness within the forest. It would be easy to get lost and confused within." he thought to himself. After several minutes Desmond saw the man enter a gate; stopping out of sight he used his eyes to investigate and saw an encampment with one female guard and a ninken posted at the gate with about twenty others inside; he also saw what looked to be holding cells with people chained up inside. This explains the missing villagers and the echoing noises through the forest at night. Wanting to wait for the rest of his group he began to draw a layout of the fort in case Ax or Seji showed up and wanted to take action.

Summary: Desmond continuing his goal to modernize and strengthen the land goes to get approval from the Leader of Crescentia.
After a couple days of travel through the forest, Desmond arrived in the village of Crescentia. Upon his arrival, however, due to his grenth armor, a young girl and what he had assumed to be her parent shrieked in horror and fled into the village. "Damn I should've taken the armor off before walking out of the woods..." thought Desmond as he scratched his head. After taking a few more steps into the village he heard the unsheathing of a blade to his back right activating his byakugan he saw a woman's figure and swinging a katana at his head. Desmond crouched ducking the blade followed by a swift kick to the solar plexus knocking her out. Being polite he'd catch her now limp body before it hit the ground and lay her down gently placing her blade down next to her. Shortly after that Desmond noticed the arrival of several other females via ground and rooftops of the surrounding buildings; at the front stood a woman bluish hair, green eyes, pale skin, and wielding a giant clever.




Woman: Kill'em. ~said ever so calmly~




On her command, 5 women charged two from above and three from the ground in a triangular formation. Smart. said, Desmond, as he prepared himself. Not wanting to harm the women and mark himself as an enemy Desmond would refrain from using ninjutsu; as they entered short range Desmond channeled chakra into their minds placing them in a genjutsu. In this illusion, they would see several explosions go off and the ground seemingly collapses around them, they all proceeded to scream in fear of falling into the now bottomless pit when in reality they all had simply fallen to the ground screaming in fear.




Woman: Bastard. ~said ever so calmy~




The woman who seemed to be in charge and who Desmond assumed was Chi dashed at him with great speed arriving 1m from him clever already mid-swing in the blink of an eye. Luckily for Desmond, he had the byakugan allowing him to track her and react accordingly by transforming his torso into water just before her blade hit its mark. Desmond half expected her to lose control due to its massive size but she effortlessly redirected the blade towards Desmond's head. "Shit!" Desmond thought to himself but alas the blade stopped as he and the woman heard a girl's scream and a man voice in the distance. They both looked to see a burly looking man trying to run off with a young girl, Desmond's adversary dashed towards the man, however, she didn't notice the trap laying in wait.




As she closed in on her prey several explosive tags went off sending her flying backward. The man turned and laughed as the woman's legs were now damaged and he had nothing to fear. Several seconds later other men looking as deplorable as ever started to surround the village.




Man: We've finally got you, Chi! ~laughs hesterically~ You and your village of women will fetch us a pretty penny on the market and those we don't sell... Well... I guess we'll find some use for you. ~said with a perverted smile~




Chi: I'LL KILL YOU ALL! ~said in anger and desperation~




After hearing such disgusting words Desmond projected his killing intent across the whole village. The wind began to howl, chills went through everyone present, the women of the village all clenched their weapons tightly but their legs quivered unable to move, the men surrounding the village slowly let go of their hostages, dropped their weapons and pissed themselves. Chi felt the chill of death and her hands trembled for the first time since she was a child turning. All who looked towards Desmond saw only a man engulfed in an aura of death.

Man: Wha... what is that...?!?!?!?!~voice of despair~




Villagers of Crescentia... close your eyes...




Unlike her subjects, Chi kept her gaze upon Desmond eye's widening after every kill he made. She watched as Desmond took his time killing the men that attacked, some he gauged out their eye's others he skinned, some lost limbs while others organs. It was something out of a horror story, Chi began to believe the forest was truly haunted and that the man or creature before her was really some type of demon from hell. Desmond blood stained walked towards Chi.




Chi: Ple... please... take me and spar my girls! ~tears flow from her face~




Desmond walked past her and went to the man holding the girl at this point he'd pissed himself, shit himself, and vomited all over himself.




I'm going to let you live so you can go back to your boss and tell him of the horrors you saw and that the demons of the Haunted Forest are real.




Man: Tha... thank you oh merciful spirit!




Merciful? ~evil laugh~ I'm not showing you mercy you're simply just the messenger wishing for death!

Desmond lifted his mask a to show his deranged smile and white eyes of his byakugan just before surgically removing his genitals. Releasing his killing intent the man ran crying back to his hideout.




Turning back to Chi Desmond saw that all of the villagers had surrounded her weapons drawn ready to fight to the death for their leader. Desmond looked at them all, deactivating his byakugan Desmond removed his hood and mask revealing to their surprise very human face.




I'm Desmond of the Reaper Clan and I have come here to have peace talks with your leader Chi. I am also a medical shinobi and would more than willing to restore her legs back to normal in exchange for a civilized conversation. said Desmond with an oddly friendly smile on his face.




The women let him pass but kept blades literally on him as he treated Chi. First activating Teikouryoku he sterilized his hands and body, followed by giving her a BRP. He then sterilized her legs before placing his hands on them one on each and channeling yang chakra into them. This caused a green aura to form around them and around her legs rapidly healing the tissue. With her legs restored, Chi proceeded to stand:




Chi: Stand down sisters I will see what this one wants. In the meantime please see to the children and clean up the mess left from the ba... battle. ~Chi hesitated as she knew that was more of a one-sided slaughter than a battle.~ Follow me.




Desmond followed Chi to a building in the center of the village.




Chi: Alright. What is it that you want?




Well, it's quite simple. I want to unite the four major villages as one.




Chi: And why would you, the other leaders and I want that?




For one if we united we could turn this land into a central port of trade for the Badlands of Earth increasing the money flow here. In your case, that means the development of defensive walls to keep out unwanted parties and of course more bodies to help defend these walls.




Chi: Hmm, and how do I know you aren't just trying to get me to sign myself and my girls into slavery or worse?




Chi... if I wanted to kill or harm anyone here I would've. As you can see when fighting you and your girls I used non-lethal force and when fight ones who threated my potential allies... well yea. All I want is to modernize this land and create a safe prosperous home for all who live in it. If it's of any consolation I plan to have my clan expand past these borders to bring in more territories which means even more security and the annihilation of the bandits that trouble you.




Chi: I can't see any reason to doubt you but you must understand why I'm uneasy about trusting you. You come out of the Haunted forest dressed as a spirit/demon then proceed to turn hardened warriors into frightened children before massacring them.




Yea I thought about that just after I walked out of the forest but let me ask you something. Have you recently been united with girls you had thought lost to the spirits of the forest?

Chi: ~confused stare~ Yes. Why?




Did they mention a demon/spirit freeing them from bandits that held them captive?




Chi: Yes...




That was me. Like I said before I and the Reapers have made our home here and would like to have working alliances with the people of the land.




~Desmond pulls out the seal of Cufulan~




As you can see the people of Cufulan already trust us and with Crescentia's help I'm sure I could get the other two villages on board as well.




Chi: Hmmm. Alright, I'll trust you for now but if I think anything is astray I won't hesitate to kill you or your clan. By the way, what was your name again?




Desmond and it's a pleasure to officially meet you Chi of Crescentia. ~extends hand~




Chi: ~Places seal on the scroll and shakes Desmond's hand~ There its official. Now get out of here I have a village to tend.




Desmond smiles, placing his mask and hood back on as he leaves and disappears into the forest once more.

Jutsu:
(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of hand seals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.








To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop their unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.








Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month has passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks away while those of sage rank can see as far as three away, but this doesn't extend beyond an ocean landmark.








( Genjutsu: Iwa Kōka Genjutsu ) - Illusionary Arts: Rockslide Genjutsu
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage: N/A
Description: This is a technique that can be cast on multiple targets. The user creates an illusion where their target(s) experience several explosions going off near and around them. The ground around and beneath the target(s) will begin to collapse and cause panic and mental damage from the perceived reality of the explosions. The technique, however, is weak when cast upon multiple targets as it only takes one individual to release the technique for large groups of people.
Note: This technique can be cast on multiple targets but when done it only takes one person to release the technique for all parties involved with genjutsu kai. However, all members need to be within short range distance.








(Suiton: Mizu Kawarimi) - Water Style: Water Replacement
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: The user can freely transform his body into liquid. This form allows him to avoid taking direct damage from many physical attacks but can not attack while in this form.








(Sakki) - Killing Intent
Rank: D-S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: N/A
Description: Killing Intent pertains to the ability of the user giving off their pure killing intention and having it affect their opponent and others around them up to the point of paralyzing them. When the Killing Intent is particularly strong, it can even give the victim visions of their own gruesome death, nausea, pain, etc. This can cause the Killing Intent to be confused with a genjutsu, despite not being a genjutsu at all; simply a showcase of intention and power. The target will feel as if facing an overwhelming enemy and, even if not a sensor, will suddenly feel the pressure of the users chakra and its magnitude, making the effect that much more dramatic. To effectively be used, the user needs to focus on his target and concentrate on the killing intent towards it, meaning that one must see the target and be focused on it. The strength of the Killing Intent is dependent on many factors and go through several levels. If a difference in rank smaller than 2 ranks exist, the enemy will feel only the pressure and the ominous presence of their dark intentions. It's enough to lose your grasp on a weapon or stay clinched to it (depending on the situation) or even to hesitate in an attack, stumble or mess up a hand seal, all depending on the situation and proximity. The effect is small and normally not that significant but can be effectively used to pressure enemies into making a mistake. If a difference of 2 ranks or more exist, the enemy will be frozen, almost unable to move as the overwhelming killing intent dominates their own conscious and riddles them with nightmarish versions of death. The paralyzation gradually weakens as time passes and can only be maintained while the user is focused on the target. The further away the target, the weaker it is and it can only fully paralyze a target within short range. Similarly, the more targets one focuses on, the weaker the effect is in each one (dividing the effects equally between the number of targets). Lastly, the stronger the user is in relation to the target, the stronger the effect will be. The target can counter Killing Intent directed at it through pain, "mind cleansing" techniques or their own Killing Intent.
Note: Intensity of technique depends on the rank of the user, distance to target and number of targets one is focusing on
Note: Can only be used once
Note: Lasts only while the user is focusing on it and while focusing on it the user can't mold chakra








(Iryō Ninjutsu: Kirei Tomo) Medical Technique: I clean all of me
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The medical shinobi fills his palms with small amounts of extremely aggressive chakra and runs them over the areas of his body he wants to clean of any microorganisms, harmful substances, etc. The chakra will eliminate any inert harmful substance or microorganism present in that area. Normally this technique is done on the hands and lower arms just before having contact with a patient but can be applied to the whole body in specific situations (before performing surgery, if the enemy is highly contagious, etc). After being done, the chakra automatically turns back to his regular, non-harmful and calm one.








(Ketsueki no Zōka Piru) Blood-Replenishing Pill
Type: Healing
Description and Background: Contains high concentrations of amino acids, iron, and mitosis inducing enzymes designed to turbo boost the production of erythrocytes from hematopoietic stem cells in the human body. This pill alleviates and cancels the symptoms of blood loss after one turn. These pills are a basic medicine medical ninjas use or administer in combat and are essentially dark red small round pills which are swallowed and absorbed through the mucosa in the stomach
Description of Side Effects:
-Taking 2 pills leads to increased blood pressure, and increased the likelihood of blood clots forming, especially through trauma.
-Taking 3 pills overstresses the cardiovascular system and causes an aneurysm after 4 turns.








(Iryō Ninjutsu: Kirei Itto) Medical Technique: I clean all of him
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The medical shinobi fills his palms with moderate amounts of semi-aggressive chakra and runs them over any areas of the patient’s body he wants to clean of any microorganisms, controlling the chakra flow constantly so it doesn't become too lethal. The area affected is 4 times the area of the users' hands. After being done, his chakra automatically turns back to his regular, non-harmful and calm one








( Iryō Ninjutsu: Shōsen Jutsu ) - Medical Technique: Mystic Palm Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: D-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 mainly Yang chakra onto their hands, forming an aura of greenish healing 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 deal with poisons or toxins, though it can heal its damage. Additionally, perhaps its more severe drawback is the chakra cost, which, as the technique stands as a jack of all trades in terms of medical ninjutsu, 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, specially in internal injuries.

Summary: Deep within the forest, Ax experiments on several hunters that ventured into the woods. This lead to hunters tasking themselves within their cults to remove the curse of the forest. They set adventures into the forest which Ax takes advantage of it, as he kidnaps the hunters for his experiments. With several hunters using Ax's presence in the forest, they decide to do also take other hunter's belongings. Little does Ax know of the Desmond's actions, he sets out to see what was being conducted. New run through the land of the Reaper clan and Seji. Desmond becoming the head of the land, soon the reaper clan is noted to by ruled by him. Ax meets with Desmond and Seji but rather in a distance, only revealing himself. Ax heads on to finalize his technology advancement and plans on meetings to occur.


Tinkering with equipment, he moves through the lab, selecting several documents on human-Shinobi-autonomy. With his white coat, he sits back into his 4-wheeled chair looking at the screen he monitors the experiments reacting the the technology implants. Standing up once more to look for another book, he returns with a drink and the book: Endless Machine. Jumping through pages he reads through several chapters fast without focus, as he then stops as something within the book had caught his attention.

"'...colors blind the eye, sounds deafen the ear that's not of metal. Numb of taste they speak, can't see as they cry. Losing desires of the heart, as I the master. Observes their world, I only trust my inner vision. It allows things to come and go, for perfection. Open to the sky, no hurt feelings. I must continue.'" saying to himself as he read, his alarm goes off. Looking to the camera TV, he sees hunters. 'Perfect, I need more supplies.' as he stood to walk out, he grabs his in-complete mask and camouflage coat. Then suddenly sees Desmond, 'Oh? His back already?' thinking as he stands to see what happens.

Deep into the forest, Ax’s lair hid along with the trees. Underground bunker would open to allow access to the base. Blending with the area’s vegetation it would appear to the naked eye as some sort of ancient artifact from the past. Like monster-sized tunnels in the ground, connected like a web. This all leading to a center, where Ax would be located he kept his most important subjects their so that they could be for experiments.

He returns to sit down and watch the TV, with the camera in the forest he saw things within the forest. He’d return to formulate an operation that he feared his test subject would fail surviving thus losing many resources. He stand up to move into the operation room, he foresees the test subject. With his automated machines and a few humans by side working on the project he looked at them to see the result.

“AHHHH!” Watching as the subject enters the room. He decides to make notes of this operations with high hopes. ‘This young girl was able to stand up to after me knocking flying into the tree. She seems strong willed, much worth a reaper for sure’ thinking as they start to set her down, calming her with a shot to her neck. The robots move on to move behind the human doctors who begin the operation.

“Hel-lp-ahh…”

Hours later, she’d suddenly started to lose her heart pause on the monitor, Ax would stand annoyed that the test subject no-longer responded as her body failed the brain transfer. That infuriated Ax as he’d thought the subject was strong enough to withstand the process, scrapping his notes he moves about man, then calming down suddenly. Bracing his forehead, as he inhaled slowly he gestures to the machines below. He looks down at the operation room below him, making eye contact with the doctors. In that upside-down circular like-dome, it allowed him and others to walk around on the platform up above the scene of the experiment.

“Bring in, Patient #230…” as he walked around, he says in a melancholy voice. The room shuffles down below as they prepare to bring in the next subject and as well sanitize the area. ‘I need more money, that’s right, one of my friends is a doctor. The question is whether he’ll approve or help me.’ Thinking as he throbbed his chin leaving the operation room.

He turns to face the Tv, after getting back, he switches channels as he sits down. ‘Where did he go?’ wondering of the location his friend has taken. “I doubt he’d been done in by some local.” Saying as someone knocks on his door. He turns around to face the door. “Come on in” saying as a Doctor came in scared of his presence. He watches around to see the room, being his first time to ever step into the room. “I have done your experiments sir, do you think I can see my family?” requesting of Ax. ‘I see…his broken.’ Thinking as he then stood to face the doctor.

“It’s no problem sir, I’ll go do wwwork.”

“You. Don’t leave unless I say so.” In that simple remark Ax then simply moved out of the door leaving the doctor in the room. Heading to meet the woman who sold people of her village. ‘I hope she has someone strong from me today.’ Thinking as he was outside now.

Racing off to meet her into the forest, he stood as the meeting place where she’d been. ‘It seems she’s not here.’ Thinking as he then remember Desmond had arrived, ‘wait…’ laughing as he figured she’d mostly like be dead by now.

Summary: Desmond continuing his goal to modernize and strengthen the land goes to get approval from the Leader of Chebika.
~exiting the southern end of the forest~
Is this the south side? Hmm, maybe I took a wrong turn somewhere... Excuse me, sir, might I ask what village I'm at?

Man: Chebika... Whats with that get-up? Are you a merc or something?

"Get-up?" Desmond thought to himself when he realized he just walked out of the forest in his armor again. You mean you don't think I'm a ghost or demon? he said pointing to his face.

Man: Ghost? Demon? ~bursts out in laughter~ You're funny, the forest isn't haunted and I know that for a fact. It was a bunch of rumors made up by a group of bandits that kidnapped people for human trafficking.

Really now...? Desmond said whilst crossing his arms and holding his right hand up to his chin as if pondering. What makes you so sure of that might I ask?

Man: Well, you seem like the type of guy to keep secrets; I used to be a part of that outfit. Me and a couple others left when we heard that some kid had inherited control of this village. Luckily we did cause about a week ago several villagers came running out of the forest screaming about some spirit that slaughtered all of our old crew. ~laughs a little~ Poor chaps bet they wished they tagged along at that... ~mans facial expression is that of someone who just put 2 and 2 together~ A spirit killed everyone... and you asked...

The man turned to Desmond just in time to see himself be stabbed in the neck by a hidden blade. Desmond would leave this blade in place to somewhat slow the bleeding and take the man into the shadows of the forest. This blade was also laced with a truth serum that rapidly flowed through the man's bloodstream.

Now listen here, I need the leader of this village to ally with me and you and the rest of your trash allies are interfering with my plans. Now your gonna answer a few questions for me right?

Man: Yea, sure whatever you need.

Good. Now how many of you are there?

Man: At the current moment only five not including me.

How do you all plan to overthrow the young ruler?

Man: Well this plan has been set in motion for some time now. Our goal was to infiltrate the manor via taking up various positions. Then we planned several different ways to kill the lad and install our leader as village head.

What are the positions that your men have taken over and how do you plan to kill Alistair?

Man: One is a gardener, another an attendant, one guard, a cook, and our boss worked his way as the boy's adviser. The current plan was for me to seed some deceit into amongst the villagers forming an anti-monarchy faction; which I succeeded in doing. The next step would take several days but the attendant would then purchase poison from the black market and sneak it to the cook. After the cook made the lads breakfast the attendant would deliver it. The poison would be slow acting so it wouldn't take effect until lunch. Soon after I was to lead the anti-party to the gates of the manor where the gardener would start a commotion claiming false accounts of the young masters' abuse and torture of his servants, sparking a riot. As the rioters stormed the manor and broke into the audience chambers the guard would attempt an attack. This will, of course, be blocked by our boss but just enough to leave the young one with a scratch. After that, the royal guards would apprehend our guard and quell the riot but then the poison takes effect kill the current leader leaving our boss in the closest position to take over.

You aren't the stupid lot I thought you out to be... When is this plan supposed to take place?

Man: ~begins laughing profusly~ I was taking a smoke break from walking to the manor when you showed up!

Desmond looked up to see a large gather of people walking towards the center of the village. Shit! he said ripping his blade out the back of the man's neck severing his spinal cord in the process as he began dashing from roof top to roof top to get ahead of the crowd. Landing on the roof of the manor Desmond saw the gardener speaking to the mob. Acting quickly Desmond wove a single seal placing all in attendance in a genjutsu where they would see feathers fall from the sky. After a moment the mob would all lay sleep outside the manor gates the gardener, however, would have his spine severed before Desmond moved to enter the building.

Having seen what happened outside the cook and attendant took it upon themselves to go warn their allies. As burst open the doors to the audience chamber:

Cook/Attendant: Kill the boy!

Seeing their allies they knew something went wrong the guard looked back and with a swift nod from his boss turned to charge the cook and attendant. The other royal guards followed suit and as the last one passed the advisor began to draw his boot knife to assassinate the lad. It was a simple task as the poison already started to take effect preventing Alistair from defending himself.

What do you thinking you're doing!?!? The adviser looked up to see Desmond standing by Alistair's side engulfed in an aura of darkness. Desmond also spoke loud enough to cause the guards to turn in his direction to see what was about to happen before projecting this aura upon all of them. All would completely freeze but only the royal guards would pass out, the four left standing well Desmond proceed to throw three kunai wrapped with explosive tags into the throats of the would be guard, cook, and attendant. These tags would explode shortly after hitting their marks sending brain matter all over the place; before Desmond could finish the advisor he saw Alistair muster up the last his willpower to stab him repeatedly. After collapsing to the floor Desmond picked up the boy and took him to his room, laying him down in his bed Desmond wove the single seal causing several mosquitoes of water to form and begin to suck the poison out of the lad's body.

He would experience some pain in the process but the lad showed promise as his eyes opened to see Desmond there watching over him, focused if you will and these insects
swelling with toxin. Hours later the royal guards had woken up to see four of their own dead and their liege missing. After a few moments, the burst into his bedroom and went to impale Desmond when Alistair spoke.

Alistair: Stop! This man is saving... or better yet has saved my life. Let him finish his work.

The guards stood down as Desmond continued Thanks, kid.

Night fell and the mosquitoes flew down a sink drain and into the sewers below the city before dispersing. Desmond tired fell back into a chair removing his hood an mask to make it easier on himself to breath. Alistair sitting up began to speak:

Alistair: I thank you for saving my life but who are you, why are you here, and how'd you know I needed saving?

~sitting up~ Well I'm Desmond and I'm apart of a clan called the Reapers. We come from a faraway land and aim to make this land our new home. In order to do that I wanted to unite the four major villages to form singular city where all who call this home benefit from each other and strengthen each other. I happened to stumble upon this coup de ta when exiting the Haunted Forest, a man was shocked to see me and explained he used to work for a group of bandits that used to take up residence with it.

Alistair: I assume you are the spirit that rescued my people from those bandits judging by the armor you are wearing and how I can see you being mistaken for one in such a dark forest.

~smiles~ That I am young lord.

Alistair: So tell me about this plan of yours.

Well, you see I want to form a council consisting of the four village leaders and one representative from my clan. Together we would govern the land helping each other strengthening our territory and people. From my clans perspective we want to expand but in order to do that, we need to make sure the people of the lands we assimilate can defend themselves, govern themselves, support themselves and other territories, and prosper when we are not present.

Alistair: Interesting...

It gets better sir, I already have the seals of approval from Cufulan and Crescentia. This treaty would also help you in your current situation.

Alistair: How so?

Well unless you want to waste time and resources convincing that mob out there that everything they've been told is a lie and that the monarchy isn't an evil dictatorship then I would suggest agreeing to this. It will show them that you a leader willing to put the welfare of them and others of the land first by giving up your role as a ruler to unite with a console for the greater good.

Alistair: Hmm, I see. Well, then I guess I have to agree. I Alistair of Chebika approve of this alliance. ~stamps scroll and extend hand~

I'm glad to hear it, young lord! Desmond shakes his hand before placing his mask and hood back on and taking off into the forest. "I should stop by the OP to rest some before heading to this last village." he thought to himself
.

Upon his arrival at the OP Desmond saw Ax another of the Reapers exiting the base, Yo, when did you arrive? and Where is Seji? Did he not meet you?

Jutsu:
Dokuton: Watashi Wa Okoritai) - Poison Ninjutsu: Stick a Needle in Your EyeType: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20 ( +5 to continue producing the poison after activation )
Damage: 20x ( x being number of turns effected )
Description: This technique is based heavily on a range of psychoactive drugs used in an effort to obtain information from subjects who are unable or unwilling to provide it otherwise. The user is able to produce a very potent cocktail of substances that can be administered one of two ways; through a gaseous cloud released from an orifice such as the mouth or nose of the user or created within Short-Mid range of the user with a short range radius or through a liquid that is produced from the skin of the user and injected into the opponent through wounds, cuts or finger-jabs.
To create the gas cloud outside of short range the user must perform the seal of confrontation otherwise they can release it from their body or create it in short range of their self without a seal. Next follows the ingredients of the poison and their subsequent symptoms. First, Midazolam; is a medication used for anesthesia, procedural sedation, trouble sleeping, and severe agitation. It works by inducing sleepiness, decreasing anxiety, and causing a loss of ability to create new memories it also has the effect of putting the poisoned individual into a calm, compliant state. Side effects can include a decrease in efforts to breathe, low blood pressure, and sleepiness causing the poisoned individual to show a visible decrease in their speed and reactions. Next, Sodium thiopental; is an ultra-short-acting barbiturate and has been used commonly in the induction phase of general anesthesia. Thiopental (Pentothal) is used in some places as a truth serum to weaken the resolve of a subject and make them more compliant to pressure as is Midazolam. The barbiturates as a class decrease higher cortical brain functioning. Because lying is more complex than telling the truth, suppression of the higher cortical functions leads to the uncovering of the truth. The drug makes a poisoned individual loquacious and cooperative with interrogators or even their opponent losing the ability to lie and gaining an uncontrollable urge to answer any question asked of them. This can not be used to make them perform actions, only answer questions that they know the answers to.


The neurological effects of the poison are instantaneous making the poisoned individual unable to lie, and they will respond to any question they are asked becoming compliant. They, however, can still fight and act against whatever they say but are stuck answering questions. This technique is very good for use on captured individuals but is also useful in battles as it can force an opponent to explain their tactics, their elements, their ninjutsu and even things as in-depth as their own personality and history as well as what they know about their allies or others. The lowered heart rate and blood pressure also decrease their speed, and rationality reducing both their running speed and their reaction speed (by three-speed levels). This technique works in a similar way as does ( Dokushinjutsu ) - Mind Reading Technique with the questions being asked and answered almost subconsciously. Asking the right question can allow the user to understand what the opponents next move will be and provide them with a better capability of countering and defending against them as well as having them know the positions of their allies, their strategies or various other important information with it being taken directly without consent from the poisoned individual.


Notes:
~Can only be used twice per battle, war, or conflict.
~Due to being created through the use of chakra the user is immune to their own variation of Truth Serum, but will not be immune to other users Truth Serum except Howard he's immune to all poisons created from this technique. Snakes or summoning creatures who can produce venom can create this with their own chakra just as a human can.
~Effects last until cured of the poison, however, if injected the limb involved can be amputated quickly to negate the effects if breathed in or injected into a non-superficial limb this point is moot.

Chakra Cost: 30

Description: The user makes one hand seal, placing all the targets in the area under an illusion where feathers appear to fall from the sky. This slowly puts the opponents to sleep after one turn.

(Sakki) - Killing Intent
Rank: D-S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: N/A
Description: Killing Intent pertains to the ability of the user giving off their pure killing intention and having it affect their opponent and others around them up to the point of paralyzing them. When the Killing Intent is particularly strong, it can even give the victim visions of their own gruesome death, nausea, pain, etc. This can cause the Killing Intent to be confused with a genjutsu, despite not being a genjutsu at all; simply a showcase of intention and power.

The strength of the Killing Intent is dependent on many factors and go through several levels. If a difference in rank smaller than 2 ranks exist, the enemy will feel only the pressure and the ominous presence of their dark intentions. Its enough to lose your grasp on a weapon or stay clinched to it (depending on the situation) or even to hesitate in an attack, stumble or mess up a hand seal, all depending on the situation and proximity. The effect is small and normally not that significant but can be effectively used to pressure enemies into making a mistake. If a difference of 2 ranks or more exist, the enemy will be frozen, almost unable to move as the overwhelming killing intent dominates their own conscious and riddles them with nightmarish versions of death. The paralyzation gradually weakens as time passes and can only be maintained while the user is focused on the target. The further away the target, the weaker it is and it can only fully paralyze a target within short range. Similarly, the more targets one focuses on, the weaker the effect is in each one (dividing the effects equally between the number of targets). Lastly, the stronger the user is in relation to the target, the stronger the effect will be. The target can counter Killing Intent directed at it through pain, "mind cleansing" techniques or their own Killing Intent.
Note: Intensity of technique depends on the rank of the user, distance to target and number of targets one is focusing on
Note: Can only be used once
Note: Lasts only while the user is focusing on it and while focusing on it the user can't mold chakra

( Iryō Suiton: Suika ) - Medical Water Style: Water Mosquito
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A

Damage: N/A ( -20 damage as the poison is removed )
Description: After using the Tiger seal, the user creates water mosquitoes, that can be used to nullify poison in a target's body.

Desmond waited for a reply but Ax stood there blank-faced and silent "... Could he be under a genjutsu? Maybe his cybernetics are starting to malfunction?" Desmond thought to himself before activating his byakugan to check if his allies chakra network was irregular. Upon inspection, Desmond saw no such thing and furthermore, it looked like all of his mechanical parts were still functioning. What the **** is wrong with you man? asked Desmond just before he noticed another set of caverns a little ways away from the one Desmond formed. Desmond quickly became furious as he saw the lifeless bodies and captives within it I've worked too hard to gain the trust of these people and yet you just arrived and your actions would ruin everything I built thus far. Desmond dashed towards Ax's facility once inside he set free all the test subjects, dismantling all of the robots, and placing several hundred explosive tags throughout the infrastructure. Once everyone was a safe distance away Desmond would detonate the tags blowing up and collapsing the facility.

Returning to Ax Desmond gave him one last look of disgust though Ax wouldn't see it due to his mask and spoke. Here's the location of the operation post I set up in this land. This is where you will stay your room will be the 1st one on the left. Desmond slammed the scroll into Ax's chest and departed for Cactus.

(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye(Passive)
Type: SupplementaryRank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of hand seals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.


To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop their unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.


Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month has passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
-Facilitate a major peace agreement (5)
-Meet with a major faction representative (4)
-Explore a landmark (1)

Summary: Desmond finally arrives in Cactus the last village he needed to form this prosperous alliance. Though he doesn't know how their leader will respond.
Finally arriving at Cactus Desmond exited the forest and stepped into the light. However immediately after leaving the wood line Desmond was surrounded by several shinobi. Of course, he saw them coming but he didn't want to waste chakra and he knew the leader of the village was... on edge to say the least.

Anbu Male 1: Who are you and why are you here?!


Well, my name is...

Anbu Female 1: Hands up!

(Desmond raised his hands) ...Desmond. I've come here to speak to Kira.

Anbu Female 2: (Kicks Desmond in the back of the legs forcing him to kneel)

Was that really necessary?

Anbu Female 3: Whether or not it was is none of your concern. (begins to bind Desmond's arms)

Anbu Male 2: (removes Desmond's mask)(shock shoots across his face) We have a situation here!
(shinobi move to see what he meant)(shock strikes them all) He has the byakugan?

Anbu Female 1: He also doesn't have the seal placed on him... How is this possible?

Anbu group: I thought Kira was the only one? We have to report this? What if he is here to capture and brand Kira?
Bind him!

Desmond had a dark bag placed over his head and was now bound by several jutsu nothing he couldn't break free of if needed but for now, he played along and allowed these deligent shinobi to take him to Kira. After what seemed like hours he heard more voices.

Man: Who is this and why is he here?

Anbu Male: Sir,...

(The voices went silent for a moment)

Man: What?!

Desmond's mask was swiftly removed and his eyes met Kira's. Kira's byakugan began to slowly activate indicated by the chakra flow to the eyes, his pupils becoming more pronounced, and the veins around them began to bulge. Placing his right palm over Desmond's heart Kira began to channel a large amount into it:

Kira: Talk or die...

Today has already been a pain so please calm yourself. My name is Desmond and I'm somewhat new to this land. The reason I'm here is to ask you and your village to ally with me and the other three major villages that skirt the forest. I have proof of this in my bag on my back, inside is a scroll with the signatures of Byoto, Chi, and Alistair.

Anbu Female 3: Don't trust him, Kira, he could be lying just so we'd free him!

Kira: (see's the chakra build up) Get back!

Desmond let out a sigh as he released lightning throughout his body breaking the bonds however just after doing so he looked around to see the 5 Anbu and Kira surrounding him weapons drawn. Amongst this, he notices Kira's stance was a little off.

As you can see I'm not going to attack you but Kira, if I may what, were the names of your ancestors that fought in the war?

Kira: War? You mean the Hyuga Civil War? How do you know I come from that tragedy and why does it matter?!

Well, Byoto might have told me a little bit about yourself and I might have known your great-grandparents.
said Desmond with a weirdly sincere smile on his face.

Anbu Female 2: Sir, that would make him around 300 years old. You can't be taking him seriously.

Kira: One way to find out, My great grandmother's name is Hanako.

Desmond's eyes widened before close due to the enormous grin on his face. Hanako Hyuga (whistles) she was sexy and could fight for days if I'm remembering correctly.

Desmond proceeded to describe Hanako as she looked during the civil war and then proceeded to describe some of the missions they did together and adventures they had.
Does any of that ring a bell Kira?

Kira: Those stories where only passed down to oral through my family and the only image of Hanako is locked in a family chest in my manor. The only way you could know this in such great detail is by having someone spay on my family for all these years or... you were actually there.

Kira deactivated his byakugan and the Anbu members put away their weapons. Desmond as a sign of good faith also deactivated his byakugan which shocked the members present as his eyes turned into a dark brown instead of remaining a pure white.

Kira: You aren't of pure birth are you?

No, I am not. In fact, I'm actually somewhat your ancestor. Though my father was a mongrel. Desmond laughed.

Kira: What do you mean?

I'm from a space-faring clan called the Otsutsuki. Apparently, my mother and others like me have been dropping onto this planet since the creation of chakra and ninjutsu. As you can see we have the byakugan which means the Hyuga are our distant cousins so to speak though we don't have access to the gentle fist fighting style you guys developed.

Kira: (looking away) I see.

Don't turn your head I saw from your stance that you haven't had anyone to properly teach you jyuken. I assume it's because of some unfortunate accident that befell your parents... Well, while I may not be able to perform the techniques I can, however, teach you the stances and proper form to which you would have all you needed to master the style.

Kira: (crosses his arms) And why would you do that?

Well, it would strengthen you which in turn strengthens the city that I am trying to form. You could also teach it to your five Hyuga friends here furthering that strength.
(Kira/Anbu looked shocked) What did you guys think I didn't notice the chakra flowing to your eyes as well?

Kira: You are very perceptive... I like it. Tell me more about this city.

Well, once you sign the scroll I would have the acceptance and agreeance of all four village leaders. From there I will send birds to the others and we would all meet in my operations post I created in the center of the forest. Once we are all in attendance we will discuss the furthering and development of the land. I want us five to band together to make this LM something to behold, people from all over coming to see the sights, trade, train, etc.

Kira: Hmm and what part would
me and the village of Cactus play in this plan and how will we determine who will lead it?

Well, I came here cause I needed you but upon entering the village I took note of some things. One being the diligence of your Anbu even though there's only five you lot are trained well. I also notice several catacombs underneath your village, I assume they are escape routes in case of an emergency. These things cause me to believe that if you trained more villagers like you and your siblings trained you all would make a fine Anbu for the entire city! As for governing, there won't be just one ruler. I plan to establish a council consisting of the four village leaders and representatives from the Reaper clan. We all will have a role and if done effectively everything should run smoothly.

Kira: I see. I have one final question. Even though the Hyuga Civil War is over some still opt to get branded. How do you feel about the mark that cursed us for generations?

Well, the current situation is a peaceful one but my personal feelings on the mark are the same as back then. All it would take is for one person to learn the sealing formula and the command to activate it and the Hyuga are sent back to how things were. I believe that if they want to protect the dojutsu there are other ways to do like other seals for example but using the one that could literally enslave people just doesn't sit right with me.
Kira
don't worry you or your siblings won't ever be branded while I'm around and we can actively work on a better solution to the Hyuga seal encase any radicals emerge from the current peace.

Kira: I see. Well then Desmond, I Kira of Cactus agree to this alliance. Now before you go teach us what we need to know to improve our jyuken and maybe one day we'll teach you how to unlock your full potential. (marks scroll with seal and extends hand)

(shakes Kira's hand) Copy that. Now let's go to an open area. Desmond replaces his mask upon his face and sends three birds to the other leaders. He then takes the group to a barren area where he spends the next few days showing them the proper form and technique of jyuken before Kira and himself head back to the leaders meeting.

Kira of Cactus:
You must be registered for see images
Jutsu:
(Raiton: Chidori Nagashi) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds Current
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short (Mid if channeled through a medium)
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A (+10 if used to boost weapon damage)
Description: This jutsu allows the user to generate non-focused electricity from their body. It can be used as an omnidirectional attack or be channeled through weapons, the ground or other conductive mediums. Because the electricity isn't focused, it doesn't kill on contact, instead, it has great numbing and paralyzing effects. To channel Nagashi through a medium, the user needs to focus the technique into one of his hands which will then be put in contact with the medium and can only choose to either do a widespread attack throughout his whole body or to channel it into something; he cannot achieve both usages at the same time. Despite not having many destructive or damaging properties, Nagashi can be used to destroy low rank earthen and wooden structures and even negate chakra on the ground to stop high ranked earth and wood techniques. It has also been noted that Lightning Specialists that have mastered Lightning to the highest degree can resist total paralyzation, although they still feel the pain and numbing effects.
Note: Paralyzation lasts 1 turn if successful but is ineffective against bios who have a primary Lightning Specialty
Chakra: 1900-30-1870

Trunks could see his breath as he and Sado make their way through the snow covered woods. The area was dark because of the blanketed snow, but Trunks somehow managed to navigate the area without making too much noise. This was helped by the fact that he removed the rings of his Shakujo and placed them in his bag so minimize the amount of sounds coming off of his body. The aura given off by the place put Trunks a bit off his game, though this wouldn't be noticable to anyone but Trunks.

Creepy, the people these hunters we're trying to feed must have been bad off to make them come here for the hunt. That kind of desperation could have led them to follow any sign of life any amount of distance, and judging by how much fauna is here, that literally could be any direction. I think we have our work cut out for us here, Sado. What's our first move?

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
Investigate the history of a landmark ( 3 )
Cutsom: Provide medical attention to two or more people ( 3 )

Summary: I had an NPC ask my bio to investigate into the recent disappearance of a hunting party in this area.


Sado felt the chill in the air and noticed the dark, dreary and almost dead atmosphere around the forest. The snow blotted out the sun in places causing dark spots all throughout the forest, this was just what he could see from the outside looking in. He quickly scanned the tree line for any signs of recent foot traffic as he listened to Trunks speak to him. He paused briefly as he noticed two sets of tracks heading deeper into the forest. One seemed to have a longer gait like someone had rushed about in a hurried manner. Sado took several steps toward the tracks in turn creating a set of his own tracks in the snow. Sado nodded toward the tracks as Trunks spoke to him.

Creepy, the people these hunters we're trying to feed must have been bad off to make them come here for the hunt. That kind of desperation could have led them to follow any sign of life any amount of distance, and judging by how much fauna is here, that literally could be any direction. I think we have our work cut out for us here, Sado. What's our first move?
Sado was able to get a better look at the tracks as he approached noticing that the two lead inward deep into the forest. He took a deep breath in through the nose as he got a deep whiff of-... ash and dust. Something had been burnt recently. Sado waved his right hand at Trunks signaling him to follow and to remain somewhat quiet as he didn't know what was here. The scent wasn't like that of a small campfire or even that of a bonfire or funeral pyre. Sado was used to those scents due to his numerous years spent as a nomad.
This scent was heavy in the air as if something big, and complex was freshly burnt not just wood but chemicals, plastics, and other substances and it seemed very near-by. It was harsh and hot to the nose and throat almost like the dispersed smoke was still hanging in the air it was accompanied by small flecks of ash and dust almost impossible to distinguish from the dirty snow. Sado began to follow these sets of tracks taking his time and watching the immediate area making sure not to disturb the tracks themselves taking a lower stance hunched over slightly to reduce noise or bumping into tree branches and the like. He grunted toward Trunks in a low tone, as to signal where he was going. He was used to this it reminded him of the times he was picked for the hunting party for his tribe. It felt strange and familiar.

Additionally he squinted his eyes slightly to reduce the chances of snow blindness by reducing the amount of light that entered his eye line. He knew snow could be deceptively dangerous from his time on the frigid Lightning Mountains. There were small signs of game in the area, rabbit tracks, small birds and nests even a few sets of deer tracks. However as he entered the tree line the visibility of the area dropped considerably. It was a mixture of the bright light reflected by the snowbanks and dunes, and the dark spots created by the dense snow overhead. It created a very dark and foreboding aura with a sense of distress in the air. The animals seemed strange they scattered and scurried away as soon as Sado entered the tree line. That was to be expected, and wasn't the weird part. They all seemed to go in one direction, instead of scattering outwardly in whatever direction they were heading some of the small game literally turned one-hundred and eighty degrees to head in the same direction as the others. Sado noticed this and pointed at it with his left hand if Trunks had listened and followed him into the tree line.

The deep smell of burnt plastic, chemicals and wood became denser the further into the forest Sado ventured. He also noticed several more sets of tracks moving in a southern direction almost from the way he came but a bit more eastwardly than where he came from. They seemed to almost travel in a circle or ellipse as if lost. There were numerous sets, at least four but they were interwoven and disorderly almost haphazard. Could be the hunting party, but they don't seem in the best condition if it is.
Sado thought to himself as he continued inward. He followed these tracks inward as the ash and dust began to become more noticeable. The snowbanks were dyed a deep black from them, caked with dirt, grime, dust and soot. Sado noticed a mound of burnt-... stuff was the only way he could describe it off in the distance. He traveled toward it coming up on it and bending over. He placed his left hand down upon the snow dipping his index and middle fingers into the snow lifting them and rubbing them together investigating the sickly substance. It was ash a lot of it, along with the remains of a building. Lab equipment and glass vials were scattered about. There were shards of glass throughout the area pockets of melted snow, and finally blood. Lots of it, some burnt and browned streaks of blood riddled the area some of the blood interweaving with the several tracks that seemed to originate from here.

There was a fire, it seems like a laboratory. I feel like these people were running from something, or someone. I don't know how the fire started but it let them escape to safety. With the numerous amount of tools I assume some were tortured and tested upon. I noticed several scalpels strewn through the debris. On top of that instruments made specifically to torture it's disturbing. Who would do something that sick and demented? We need to find those people, their tracks indicate that they're lost, starving and most likely injured.

Sado spoke for the first time in a while. His tone was melancholy and depressed. He realized that there truly were sick, twisted individuals in this world, and with how he acted when he became more violent he assumed he might be one of them. He stood up and dusted himself off as he turned toward the tracks and began to follow them. He darted forward now, seemingly moving at a fast pace rushing toward these people. He assumed they needed help, and he thought they might be the hunting party he was sent here to find.
He traveled in a large arc noticing that the tracks did indeed twist throughout the eerie forest. It was strange for hunters they seemed very out of place or lost. As he moved throughout the area he noticed the long spindle like trails of blood in the area. Whoever did this to them would pay, but that was something for later. THESE WERE SADO'S PEOPLE-... he thought to himself almost angry at the thought of someone else stealing them away and hurting them. HE promised to protect them and he had failed, he would enact revenge upon whatever sick **** did this.

Moving forward through the coldness Sado seemed unaffected by the sheer cold, his anger and rage seemed to keep him warm more than that he was sweating profusely. He rushed onward the tracks becoming less like foot tracks and more like long marks dug into the snow by people dragging themselves. Eventually he began to notice small slash marks etched into the trees. Smart, they began to mark their path like a lost animal.
Sado had seen similar marks when hunting wolves and bears in the mountains. They indicated the creature was lost or marking it's territory. Sado was getting closer. He picked up his pace even further grabbing the straps of his weights and dropping them down upon the ground increasing his speed further. In the distance he heard chatter. He made his way toward it coming into a clearing and seeing a group of people, six of them they were in terrible condition. Sado exhaled heavily as the warmth filled the air around his face creating a wash of steam.
He slowed down, as he noticed the group shutter and begin to move in fear, each person had a terrified gleam in their eye like beaten and abused animals. Sado could see from from here even without using the diagnosis skill the wounds they suffered were intense and on top of that they seem psychologically scarred by the events.

Wait, I'm here to help. I was sent by the people of Forskellig to find you.

Some of the group seemed to soften slightly while the rest became more fearful and even tried to break away from the others and run. It was understandable these people had probably been through hell. Sado didn't know what to do or say to calm them. He lifted his hands into the air at about head height and began to walk slowly toward them.
His demeanor was calm, kind and charismatic. He showed them his coat and how it showed he was a doctor, here to help. For some this seemed to calm them further for others it worried them more than his appearance. As Sado approached he lowered his stance even further trying to show non-hostility toward the group.

I can heal all of you I assume you've been through a lot. I came across the facility you escaped from.

I want information, I'm going to hold whoever did this responsible and they will be dealt with accordingly.

No one hurts those who fall under my protection and gets away with it. Never again.


Sado knelt down quickly summoning several healing instruments and a small hut pulling them out of his coat as if a magician pulling out a card or objects from thin air. Sado motioned for them to come over and a few did, namely three women and a man. Sado nodded lightly and opened the door of the hut showing that it was somehow larger on the inside than it was on the outside. The three women seemed amazed by this while the man was defensive. He spoke with a broken slurred speech, his letters sucking in air and swishing spit and blood through his mouth.

How do we know you are here to help? There was a man like you back at the facility dressed in a fancy coat.

His tone was full of sorrow and torment as if he had been tortured, starved and hurt repeatedly. Sado didn't know how to respond he wanted to help. Originally this was jut to prove a point that Golden Sabbath would protect Forskellig and the surrounding lands.
Now it had became more than that he genuinely wanted to provide aid to these people and get them home. It wasn't just for the publicity and the sake of spreading the name of his clan. It was more than that, he felt obligated to help.

Actions speak louder than words I guess.

Sado said as he performed the diagnosis skill outside of the small tent. He realized the man HAD been tortured. Severely at that, multiple broken ribs, several broken fingers, the fingernails removed from several fingers as well as a tooth or two ripped from his mouth. It was appalling and it only made Sado more furious. Again the thought entered his mind "THESE WERE HIS PEOPLE" louder this time drowning out every other thought.

You have three broken ribs, two broken fingers, and two teeth ripped from your mouth.

The man became even more defensive at this.

Eh how do you know that? Yous one of them ain't cha?

He said in a rushed fearful tone almost ready to bolt.

Sado noticed this and immediately began to explain.

No, I'm trained in medical ninjutsu one of the abilities I learned early on was called the diagnosis skill. By taking my chakra and channeling it through a patient I'm able to get an accurate understanding of their ailments. Sometimes it also allows me to understand their emotions, and feelings. Through it I could sense your outward injuries as well as a few of the inward ones. I know you're afraid, and I know you're distrusting of me but I truly only want to help.

The man paused and lifted his right hand toward Sado.

'Ell if you wanna help. I 'aven't been able to move my hand for days.

Sado noticed the numerous nails pulled from the nail beds and the index, and pinky finger were broken in two places dislocated at the metacarpophalangeal joint and the distal interphalangeal joint. It was as if the fingers were just pulled and twisted until they were dislocated. Sado extended his right hand placing the man's hanging hand upon it as he placed his left hand upon it. He pushed downward with his left hand as he pushed upward with his right causing the fingers to straighten and push back into place. It would have been more correct to reset each joint but Sado didn't feel like there was time as there were numerous more people to heal. The fingers made a cracking noise as they were set into place and he channeled healing chakra into the hand. This additionally healed the nail beds.

There, how does that feel?

Sado said smiling slightly at the man to try and promote a friendly back and forth.

Better.

Sado lowered his right and left hand now placing one on either side of the man's chest. He had two broken vertebrosternal ribs on the left side and one on the right. He pushed inward with a considerable amount of force while pushing upward setting the ribs into place again channeling healing chakra through the body. This allowed the ribs to set and heal properly as Sado spoke again.

There you're all set, except your teeth. I can't do much about those I'm not a dentist.

The man looked around at the group and spoke a little bit clearer now that he wasn't dealing with the pain.

He's alright. I'm Colin, thank you for the help.

To that one of the three woman stepped forward. She was bruised and battered, a black eye, lacerations to the body with patches of flesh missing. It was as if the person doing this was taking samples of flesh. It was strange and angered Sado slightly. It was as if she had been treated like a cut of meat, it reminded him of his own past. There was a large patch of flesh missing from her stomach as she pulled up her shoddy linen over shirt. Blood had soaked through it was a miracle some of these people were still alive. Sado performed the diagnosis skill and placed a palm on each patch of missing flesh increasing the cellular regeneration rate allowing more flesh to be produced thus closing the open wounds. He used isopropyl alcohol to sterilize the wounds as to reduce the chance of infection.

There you should be fine. I need someone to explain everything.

I'll heal the rest of you but right now I'm pretty pissed at whoever did this to you all.

Any information would be useful.


The woman he had just healed began to speak.

My name is Helena, I'm from Forskellig, I traveled up this way with a woman named Aveline and a hunting party she was in charge of the hunting party. One day she just vanished we searched for her until we were all exhausted. We set to rest in a small clearing and in the middle of the night we were ambushed. I didn't see much, it was dark.

The woman began to cry at this point seemingly thinking how best to explain.

I was knocked unconscious and woke up in a sterile white room. It was padded and small like a prison cell. I was there for a few days separated from everyone my only contact to the world was through a metal slit in the door that a man dressed in a white coat passed food through. On about the third day-... that's when it started. The man would take me to an operating table, after sedating me. I was still conscious but I couldn't control my body. Once there a man would speak over a speaker to the doctor who would follow his directions. He used big words, and told him where and how to cut into me. It was painful I couldn't move my body, I was forced to just lay there and cry. Then another man came, a few days later. He began opening the doors and setting fires. He let us all go and seemed rather angry searching through the compound for anyone or anything. We scattered we found a few of our people but some of these people we don't know. We thought it best to travel in a group. Then you showed up and offered aid-... I just want to go home.

Sado listened intently and waited for her to stop.

He seemed even more angered by the story as he looked around for Trunks.​

( Iryō Ninjutsu: Saibō no saisei ) - Medical Technique: Cellular regeneration
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A (can negate up to 60 points)
Description: The medical ninja forcibly controls the cell cycle of the target tissue, causing rapid proliferation of the cells, thereby regenerating the tissue. This is done by infusing the cells of the target tissue with the users own healing chakra, potentiating mitosis and tissue growth. The drawback of this technique is that its not actually a healing technique but a tissue growth technique. It can serve to grow missing tissue but it cannot heal in the truth essence of the word and in essence is a much simpler application of the Mystic Palm technique.

( Iryō Ninjutsu: Shōsen Jutsu ) - Medical Technique: Mystic Palm Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A ( 60 )
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.

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
Investigate the history of a landmark ( 3 )
Cutsom: Provide medical attention to two or more people ( 3 )

Summary: I had an NPC ask my bio to investigate into the recent disappearance of a hunting party in this area.


Sado felt the chill in the air and noticed the dark, dreary and almost dead atmosphere around the forest. The snow blotted out the sun in places causing dark spots all throughout the forest, this was just what he could see from the outside looking in. He quickly scanned the tree line for any signs of recent foot traffic as he listened to Trunks speak to him. He paused briefly as he noticed two sets of tracks heading deeper into the forest. One seemed to have a longer gait like someone had rushed about in a hurried manner. Sado took several steps toward the tracks in turn creating a set of his own tracks in the snow. Sado nodded toward the tracks as Trunks spoke to him.



Sado was able to get a better look at the tracks as he approached noticing that the two lead inward deep into the forest. He took a deep breath in through the nose as he got a deep whiff of-... ash and dust. Something had been burnt recently. Sado waved his right hand at Trunks signaling him to follow and to remain somewhat quiet as he didn't know what was here. The scent wasn't like that of a small campfire or even that of a bonfire or funeral pyre. Sado was used to those scents due to his numerous years spent as a nomad.
This scent was heavy in the air as if something big, and complex was freshly burnt not just wood but chemicals, plastics, and other substances and it seemed very near-by. It was harsh and hot to the nose and throat almost like the dispersed smoke was still hanging in the air it was accompanied by small flecks of ash and dust almost impossible to distinguish from the dirty snow. Sado began to follow these sets of tracks taking his time and watching the immediate area making sure not to disturb the tracks themselves taking a lower stance hunched over slightly to reduce noise or bumping into tree branches and the like. He grunted toward Trunks in a low tone, as to signal where he was going. He was used to this it reminded him of the times he was picked for the hunting party for his tribe. It felt strange and familiar.

Additionally he squinted his eyes slightly to reduce the chances of snow blindness by reducing the amount of light that entered his eye line. He knew snow could be deceptively dangerous from his time on the frigid Lightning Mountains. There were small signs of game in the area, rabbit tracks, small birds and nests even a few sets of deer tracks. However as he entered the tree line the visibility of the area dropped considerably. It was a mixture of the bright light reflected by the snowbanks and dunes, and the dark spots created by the dense snow overhead. It created a very dark and foreboding aura with a sense of distress in the air. The animals seemed strange they scattered and scurried away as soon as Sado entered the tree line. That was to be expected, and wasn't the weird part. They all seemed to go in one direction, instead of scattering outwardly in whatever direction they were heading some of the small game literally turned one-hundred and eighty degrees to head in the same direction as the others. Sado noticed this and pointed at it with his left hand if Trunks had listened and followed him into the tree line.

The deep smell of burnt plastic, chemicals and wood became denser the further into the forest Sado ventured. He also noticed several more sets of tracks moving in a southern direction almost from the way he came but a bit more eastwardly that where he came from. They seemed to almost travel in a circle as if lost. There were numerous sets, at least four but they were interwoven and disorderly almost haphazard. Could be the hunting party, but they don't seem in the best condition if it is.
Sado thought to himself as he continued inward. He followed these tracks inward as the ash and dust began to become more noticeable. The snowbanks were dyed a deep black from them, caked with dirt, grime, dust and soot. Sado noticed a mound of burnt-... stuff was the only way he could describe it off in the distance. He traveled toward it coming up on it and bending over. He placed his left hand down upon the snow dipping his index and middle fingers into the snow lifting them and rubbing them together investigating the sickly substance. It was ash a lot of it, along with the remains of a building. Lab equipment and glass vials were scattered about. There were shards of glass throughout the area pockets of melted snow, and finally blood. Lots of it, some burnt and browned streaks of blood riddled the area some of the blood interweaving with the several tracks that seemed to originate from here.

There was a fire, it seems like a laboratory. I feel like these people were running from something, or someone. I don't know how the fire started but it let them escape to safety. With the numerous amount of tools I assume some were tortured and tested upon. I noticed several scalpels strewn through the debris. On top of that instruments made specifically to torture it's disturbing. Who would do something that sick and demented? We need to find those people, their tracks indicate that they're lost, starving and most likely injured.

Sado spoke for the first time in a while. His tone was melancholy and depressed. He realized that there truly were sick, twisted individuals in this world, and with how he acted when he became more violent he assumed he might be one of them. He stood up and dusted himself off as he turned toward the tracks and began to follow them. He darted forward now, seemingly moving at a fast pace rushing toward these people. He assumed they needed help, and he thought they might be the hunting party he was sent here to find.
He traveled in a large arc noticing that the tracks did indeed twist throughout the eerie forest. It was strange for hunters they seemed very out of place or lost. As he moved throughout the area he noticed the long spindle like trails of blood in the area. Whoever did this to them would pay, but that was something for later. THESE WERE SADO'S PEOPLE-... he thought to himself almost angry at the thought of someone else stealing them away and hurting them. HE promised to protect them and he had failed, he would enact revenge upon whatever sick **** did this.

Moving forward through the coldness Sado seemed unaffected by the sheer cold, his anger and rage seemed to keep him warm more than that he was sweating profusely. He rushed onward the tracks becoming less like foot tracks and more like long marks dug into the snow by people dragging themselves. Eventually he began to notice small slash marks etched into the trees. Smart, they began to mark their path like a lost animal.
Sado had seen similar marks when hunting wolves and bears in the mountains. The indicated the creature was lost or marking it's territory. Sado was getting closer. He picked up his pace even further grabbing the straps of his weights and dropping them down upon the ground increasing his speed further. In the distance he heard chatter. He made his way toward it coming into a clearing and seeing a group of people, six of them they were in terrible condition. Sado exhaled heavily as the warmth filled the air around his face creating a wash of steam.
He slowed down, as he noticed the group shutter and begin to move in fear, each person had a terrified gleam in their eye like beaten and abused animals. Sado could see from from here even without using the diagnosis skill the wounds they suffered were intense and on top of that they seem psychologically scarred by the events.

Wait, I'm here to help. I was sent by the people of Forskellig to find you.

Some of the group seemed to soften slightly while the rest became more fearful and even tried to break away from the others and run. It was understandable these people had probably been through hell. Sado didn't know what to do or say to calm them. He lifted his hands into the air at about head height and began to walk slowly toward them.
His demeanor was calm, kind and charismatic. He showed them his coat and how it showed he was a doctor, here to help. For some this seemed to calm them further for others it worried them more than his appearance. As Sado approached he lowered his stance even further trying to show non-hostility toward the group.

I can heal all of you I assume you've been through a lot. I came across the facility you escaped from.

I want information, I'm going to hold whoever did this responsible and they will be dealt with accordingly.

No one hurts those who fall under my protection and gets away with it. Never again.


Sado knelt down quickly summoning several healing instruments and a small hut pulling them out of his coat as if a magician pulling out a card or objects from thin air. Sado motioned for them to come over and a few did, namely three women and a man. Sado nodded lightly and opened the door of the hut showing that it was somehow larger on the inside that it was on the outside. The three women seemed amazed by this while the man was defensive. He spoke with a broken slurred speech, his letters sucking in air and swishing spit and blood through his mouth.

How do we know you are here to help? There was a man like you back at the facility dressed in a fancy coat.

His tone was full of sorrow and torment as if he had been tortured, starved and hurt repeatedly. Sado didn't know how to respond he wanted to help. Originally this was jut to prove a point that Golden Sabbath would protect Forskellig and the surrounding lands.
Now it had became more than that he genuinely wanted to provide aid to these people and get them home. It wasn't just for the publicity and the sake of spreading the name of his clan. It was more than that, he felt obligated to help.

Actions speak louder than words I guess.

Sado said as he performed the diagnosis skill outside of the small tent. He realized the man HAD been tortured. Severely at that, multiple broken ribs, several broken fingers, the fingernails removed from several fingers as well as a tooth or two ripped from his mouth. It was appalling and it only made Sado more furious. Again the thought entered his mind "THESE WERE HIS PEOPLE" louder this time drowning out every other thought.

You have three broken ribs, two broken fingers, and two teeth ripped from your mouth.

The man became even more defensive at this.

Eh how do you know that? Yous one of them ain't cha?

He said in a rushed fearful tone almost ready to bolt.

Sado noticed this and immediately began to explain.

No, I'm trained in medical ninjutsu one of the abilities I learned early on was called the diagnosis skill. By taking my chakra and channeling it through a patient I'm able to get an accurate understanding of their ailments. Sometimes it also allows me to understand their emotions, and feelings. Through it I could sense your outward injuries as well as a few of the inward ones. I know you're afraid, and I know you're distrusting of me but I truly only want to help.

The man paused and lifted his right hand toward Sado.

'Ell if you wanna help. I 'aven't been able to move my hand for days.

Sado noticed the numerous nails pulled from the nail beds and the index, and pinky finger were broken in two places dislocated at the metacarpophalangeal joint and the distal interphalangeal joint. It was as if the fingers were just pulled and twisted until they were dislocated. Sado extended his right hand placing the man's hanging hand upon it as he placed his left hand upon it. He pushed downward with his left hand as he pushed upward with his right causing the fingers to straighten and push back into place. It would have been more correct to reset each joint but Sado didn't feel like there was time as there were numerous more people to heal. The fingers made a cracking noise as they were set into place and he channeled healing chakra into the hand. This additionally healed the nail beds.

There, how does that feel?

Sado said smiling slightly at the man to try and promote a friendly back and forth.

Better.

Sado lowered his right and left hand now plaving one on either side of the man's chest. He had two broken vertebrosternal ribs on the left side and one on the right. He pushed inward with a considerable amount of force while pushing upward setting the ribs into place again channeling healing chakra through the body. This allowed the ribs to set and heal properly as Sado.

There you're all set, except your teeth. I can't do much about those I'm not a dentist.

The man looked around at the group and spoke a little bit clearer now that he wasn't dealing with the pain.

He's alright. I'm Colin, thank you for the help.

To that one of the three woman stepped forward. She was bruised and battered, a black eye, lacerations to the body with patches of flesh mission. It was as if the person doing this was taking samples of flesh. It was strange and angered Sado slightly. It was as if she had been treated like a cut of meat. There was a large patch of flesh missing from her stomach as she pulled up her shoddy linen over shirt. Blood had soaked through it was a miracle some of these people were still alive. Sado performed the diagnosis skill and placed a palm on each patch of missing flesh increasing the cellular regeneration rate allowing more flesh to be produced thus closing the open wounds. He used isopropyl alcohol to sterilize the wounds as to reduce the chance of infection.

There you should be fine. I need someone to explain everything.

I'll heal the rest of you but right now I'm pretty pissed at whoever did this to you all.

Any information would be useful.


The woman he had just healed began to speak.

My name is Helena, I'm from Forskellig, I traveled up this way with a woman named Aveline and a hunting party she was in charge of the hunting party. One day she just vanished we searched for her until we were all exhausted. We set to rest in a small clearing and in the middle of the night we were ambushed. I didn't see much, it was dark.

The woman began to cry at this point seemingly thinking how best to explain.

I was knocked unconscious and woke up in a sterile white room. It was padded and small like a prison cell. I was there for a few days separated from everyone my only contact to the world was through a metal slit in the door that a man dressed in a white coat passed food through. On about the third day-... that's when it started. The man would take me to an operating table, after sedating me. I was still conscious but I couldn't control my body. Once there a man would speak over a speaker to the doctor who would follow his directions. He used big words, and told him where and how to cut into me. It was painful I couldn't move my body, I was forced to just lay there and cry. Then another man came, a few days later. He began opening the doors and setting fires. He let us all go and seemed rather angry searching through the compound for anyone or anything. We scattered we found a few of our people but some of these people we don't know. We thought it best to travel in a group. Then you showed up and offered aid-... I just want to go home.

Sado listened intently and waited for her to stop.

He seemed even more angered by the story as he looked around for Trunks.​

This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
- Help a friend (2)

Summary: After accompanying Sado to a land looking for lost hunters, Trunks is met with a situation in which he must help Sado figure out what is happening to his people, along with aiding them in the process. To be of use in making peace for these people was Sado's goal here, Trunks' was to assist Sado in anyway possible.




As Trunks speaks, Sado nods in the direction of a pair of tracks in the snow. Something easily missed by the way light shines off of the frozen ground mixed with deep shadows in seemingly the same area. Sado inspects the prints for a while, leading Trunks to do the same. All that he gathers from what he sees is a scurried pair of people making their way forward. It isn't long before Sado begins smelling the air around them. Trunks hadn't noticed before, but there was a strange, yet familiar scent in the air. Smoke and fire, but not normal ones from wood burning, this was electrical. The smell of smoldering plastic and silicate based products was unmistakable.

In a hushed tone, Trunks spills what he knows about the smell.Sado, I've smelled this before. My mother was mainly a scientist, and a few experiments she tried weren't exactly successful. She has two burned down labs to her name.. So far. This is what that smell is, or something really similar. I wouldn't be surprised to find a burned lab around here somewhere.

Then Sado grunts, confirming that he is going to follow the tracks, to which Trunks follows. Following the tracks, the pair would notice the nearly orderly march toward the direction they were headed, a very strange occurrence that one would not expect to find in nature, or even with a hunting party. Moving forward more, the pair stumble across the ruins of the lab. Sado once again inspects the site while Trunks looks about hoping to not see fallen victims out of his helps reach, which luckily there is none. Sado then begins to speak, noticably the first time he's done so since they arrived.

There was a fire, it seems like a laboratory. I feel like these people were running from something, or someone. I don't know how the fire started but it let them escape to safety. With the numerous amount of tools I assume some were tortured and tested upon. I noticed several scalpels strewn through the debris. On top of that instruments made specifically to torture it's disturbing. Who would do something that sick and demented? We need to find those people, their tracks indicate that they're lost, starving and most likely injured.

Sados thorough analysis of the debris leaves little to the imagination, Trunks concedes. He's probably right on all fronts. The only thing worrying Trunks is the manner of torture that these people had to endure. There was little medical ninjutsu could do to help one escape mental scarring. We should find them quickly, I'm sure they are ready for the warmth of helping hands. Trunks says as he and Sado move forward.

Taking in Sados body language, tone when he spoke, and nearly absent-minded movements, Trunks could tell that this was really eating at him. Sado truly cared for his people, so the thought of them suffering was causing him pain, something Trunks could completely understand. I know you don't want to hear this, but breath it out Sado. We will find them, and when we do, we will help them. It is not a matter of if, rather than when. Just like when it comes to serving the perpetrator justice, a matter of when rather than if. Trunks says in a calm tone. He knew that his words would most likely go in one ear and out of the other, but if even a bit of what he said brought Sado any amount of comfort, it was worth the breath.

Before long, they stumble upon a group of six individuals, where Sado immediately gets to work healing them. As he takes the first patient, Trunks moves to the others, resting their minds towards his intentions as he does so.

My name is Trunks, and this is Sado. We are medical shinobi here to help, I promise that nothing we do will be malevolent in nature. There will be no pain of it can be helped and you guys will be fit enough to go home in no time. Trunks says with a smile, noticing an obvious tension being released in the faces of some group members. As Sado speaks to a man, Trunks looks after a small child, who seemed to have suffered minor injuries compared to the rest, scrapes and bruises mainly, a couple of puncture wounds. Placing his hands on his stomach, Trunks pumps healing chakra into his injuries, healing them on the spot.

Moving onto the next woman, Trunks sees more of the same, a puncture wound, scrapes and bruises. Growing curious, Trunks asks the woman about the puncture. Through sobs he can make out that one doctor ran experimental treatments through her for a disease she didn't carry. To make it worse, she didn't know anything about what was injected into her body. Taking his hand and placing it in the center of her back, Trunks runs his chakra to gain a diagnosis of the issue at hand. Very quickly he realizes that this woman, as we as the others more than likely, were colonizing bacteria. Something that a rigorous run with healing chakra could fix, but if even a small amount were left behind, it would cause the colony to return. Knowing this, and assuming Sado knows the same due to the run ins he has had thus far, Trunks does what he can to scrub the microbes out of their system by inhancing their own immune system with his chakra. Returning to the boy he does the same thing.

Once everyone is out of fatal danger, Trunks nods toward an area not far but out of ear shot of the group that he walks too, expecting Sado to follow. I don't know what the **** they were doing to these people in that lab, but at least two of the people here had massive infections when I started treatment. I fear that the infection could return worse later though, so hold things down here for now, I need to see if I can't find something. Trunks says running back to where they seen the burned lab.

Once Trunks arrives, he begins the process of studying the floor patterns. These doctors were sociopathic sadists. What Trunks was looking for would only be in one spot according to that psychological profile, somewhere close incase of an accident. After a few minutes of searching, Trunks finds what he is looking for, an office attached to a lab. Moving around debris, rocks, and half burned lumber, Trunks eventually finds a floor safe under what use to be a desk. Ripping the corroded front face off of the device, Trunks reaches in and pulls out a hard case with a snapping cover, and a handful of folders. Opening the case, Trunks sees various vials filled with clear liquids, marked as different drugs and medicines. Looking at the files, he sees a picture of the kid he just treated, assuring they were also an important find to Sado and his people. Grabbing these thing in hurried fashion, Trunks tears a path back to where Sado was with the group.

Upon arriving, out of breath, Trunks would look at Sado with a look that said mission accomplished. Walking up, he would hand Sado the case of vials and records that he received. I believe these to be the files those monsters kept on these people. It should outline every horiffic thing done to them, including drugs and other foreign bodies they were subjected too. Knowing these things, we can help them now Sado, we just may have to recreate some of these to go around.

Trunks says in a hushed tone, so that only Sado can hear him. Sado seemed to have a grip on the situation, Trunks even found a few smiles among the group as he looked. Still, Trunks feels like having the complete story would benefit everyone greatly in the long run, even though the rage from it would cause even the most hardened of men to shed tears.

Sado felt the chill in the air and noticed the dark, dreary and almost dead atmosphere around the forest. The snow blotted out the sun in places causing dark spots all throughout the forest, this was just what he could see from the outside looking in. He quickly scanned the tree line for any signs of recent foot traffic as he listened to Trunks speak to him. He paused briefly as he noticed two sets of tracks heading deeper into the forest. One seemed to have a longer gait like someone had rushed about in a hurried manner. Sado took several steps toward the tracks in turn creating a set of his own tracks in the snow. Sado nodded toward the tracks as Trunks spoke to him.



Sado was able to get a better look at the tracks as he approached noticing that the two lead inward deep into the forest. He took a deep breath in through the nose as he got a deep whiff of-... ash and dust. Something had been burnt recently. Sado waved his right hand at Trunks signaling him to follow and to remain somewhat quiet as he didn't know what was here. The scent wasn't like that of a small campfire or even that of a bonfire or funeral pyre. Sado was used to those scents due to his numerous years spent as a nomad.
This scent was heavy in the air as if something big, and complex was freshly burnt not just wood but chemicals, plastics, and other substances and it seemed very near-by. It was harsh and hot to the nose and throat almost like the dispersed smoke was still hanging in the air it was accompanied by small flecks of ash and dust almost impossible to distinguish from the dirty snow. Sado began to follow these sets of tracks taking his time and watching the immediate area making sure not to disturb the tracks themselves taking a lower stance hunched over slightly to reduce noise or bumping into tree branches and the like. He grunted toward Trunks in a low tone, as to signal where he was going. He was used to this it reminded him of the times he was picked for the hunting party for his tribe. It felt strange and familiar.

Additionally he squinted his eyes slightly to reduce the chances of snow blindness by reducing the amount of light that entered his eye line. He knew snow could be deceptively dangerous from his time on the frigid Lightning Mountains. There were small signs of game in the area, rabbit tracks, small birds and nests even a few sets of deer tracks. However as he entered the tree line the visibility of the area dropped considerably. It was a mixture of the bright light reflected by the snowbanks and dunes, and the dark spots created by the dense snow overhead. It created a very dark and foreboding aura with a sense of distress in the air. The animals seemed strange they scattered and scurried away as soon as Sado entered the tree line. That was to be expected, and wasn't the weird part. They all seemed to go in one direction, instead of scattering outwardly in whatever direction they were heading some of the small game literally turned one-hundred and eighty degrees to head in the same direction as the others. Sado noticed this and pointed at it with his left hand if Trunks had listened and followed him into the tree line.

The deep smell of burnt plastic, chemicals and wood became denser the further into the forest Sado ventured. He also noticed several more sets of tracks moving in a southern direction almost from the way he came but a bit more eastwardly than where he came from. They seemed to almost travel in a circle or ellipse as if lost. There were numerous sets, at least four but they were interwoven and disorderly almost haphazard. Could be the hunting party, but they don't seem in the best condition if it is.
Sado thought to himself as he continued inward. He followed these tracks inward as the ash and dust began to become more noticeable. The snowbanks were dyed a deep black from them, caked with dirt, grime, dust and soot. Sado noticed a mound of burnt-... stuff was the only way he could describe it off in the distance. He traveled toward it coming up on it and bending over. He placed his left hand down upon the snow dipping his index and middle fingers into the snow lifting them and rubbing them together investigating the sickly substance. It was ash a lot of it, along with the remains of a building. Lab equipment and glass vials were scattered about. There were shards of glass throughout the area pockets of melted snow, and finally blood. Lots of it, some burnt and browned streaks of blood riddled the area some of the blood interweaving with the several tracks that seemed to originate from here.

There was a fire, it seems like a laboratory. I feel like these people were running from something, or someone. I don't know how the fire started but it let them escape to safety. With the numerous amount of tools I assume some were tortured and tested upon. I noticed several scalpels strewn through the debris. On top of that instruments made specifically to torture it's disturbing. Who would do something that sick and demented? We need to find those people, their tracks indicate that they're lost, starving and most likely injured.

Sado spoke for the first time in a while. His tone was melancholy and depressed. He realized that there truly were sick, twisted individuals in this world, and with how he acted when he became more violent he assumed he might be one of them. He stood up and dusted himself off as he turned toward the tracks and began to follow them. He darted forward now, seemingly moving at a fast pace rushing toward these people. He assumed they needed help, and he thought they might be the hunting party he was sent here to find.
He traveled in a large arc noticing that the tracks did indeed twist throughout the eerie forest. It was strange for hunters they seemed very out of place or lost. As he moved throughout the area he noticed the long spindle like trails of blood in the area. Whoever did this to them would pay, but that was something for later. THESE WERE SADO'S PEOPLE-... he thought to himself almost angry at the thought of someone else stealing them away and hurting them. HE promised to protect them and he had failed, he would enact revenge upon whatever sick **** did this.

Moving forward through the coldness Sado seemed unaffected by the sheer cold, his anger and rage seemed to keep him warm more than that he was sweating profusely. He rushed onward the tracks becoming less like foot tracks and more like long marks dug into the snow by people dragging themselves. Eventually he began to notice small slash marks etched into the trees. Smart, they began to mark their path like a lost animal.
Sado had seen similar marks when hunting wolves and bears in the mountains. They indicated the creature was lost or marking it's territory. Sado was getting closer. He picked up his pace even further grabbing the straps of his weights and dropping them down upon the ground increasing his speed further. In the distance he heard chatter. He made his way toward it coming into a clearing and seeing a group of people, six of them they were in terrible condition. Sado exhaled heavily as the warmth filled the air around his face creating a wash of steam.
He slowed down, as he noticed the group shutter and begin to move in fear, each person had a terrified gleam in their eye like beaten and abused animals. Sado could see from from here even without using the diagnosis skill the wounds they suffered were intense and on top of that they seem psychologically scarred by the events.

Wait, I'm here to help. I was sent by the people of Forskellig to find you.

Some of the group seemed to soften slightly while the rest became more fearful and even tried to break away from the others and run. It was understandable these people had probably been through hell. Sado didn't know what to do or say to calm them. He lifted his hands into the air at about head height and began to walk slowly toward them.
His demeanor was calm, kind and charismatic. He showed them his coat and how it showed he was a doctor, here to help. For some this seemed to calm them further for others it worried them more than his appearance. As Sado approached he lowered his stance even further trying to show non-hostility toward the group.

I can heal all of you I assume you've been through a lot. I came across the facility you escaped from.

I want information, I'm going to hold whoever did this responsible and they will be dealt with accordingly.

No one hurts those who fall under my protection and gets away with it. Never again.


Sado knelt down quickly summoning several healing instruments and a small hut pulling them out of his coat as if a magician pulling out a card or objects from thin air. Sado motioned for them to come over and a few did, namely three women and a man. Sado nodded lightly and opened the door of the hut showing that it was somehow larger on the inside than it was on the outside. The three women seemed amazed by this while the man was defensive. He spoke with a broken slurred speech, his letters sucking in air and swishing spit and blood through his mouth.

How do we know you are here to help? There was a man like you back at the facility dressed in a fancy coat.

His tone was full of sorrow and torment as if he had been tortured, starved and hurt repeatedly. Sado didn't know how to respond he wanted to help. Originally this was jut to prove a point that Golden Sabbath would protect Forskellig and the surrounding lands.
Now it had became more than that he genuinely wanted to provide aid to these people and get them home. It wasn't just for the publicity and the sake of spreading the name of his clan. It was more than that, he felt obligated to help.

Actions speak louder than words I guess.

Sado said as he performed the diagnosis skill outside of the small tent. He realized the man HAD been tortured. Severely at that, multiple broken ribs, several broken fingers, the fingernails removed from several fingers as well as a tooth or two ripped from his mouth. It was appalling and it only made Sado more furious. Again the thought entered his mind "THESE WERE HIS PEOPLE" louder this time drowning out every other thought.

You have three broken ribs, two broken fingers, and two teeth ripped from your mouth.

The man became even more defensive at this.

Eh how do you know that? Yous one of them ain't cha?

He said in a rushed fearful tone almost ready to bolt.

Sado noticed this and immediately began to explain.

No, I'm trained in medical ninjutsu one of the abilities I learned early on was called the diagnosis skill. By taking my chakra and channeling it through a patient I'm able to get an accurate understanding of their ailments. Sometimes it also allows me to understand their emotions, and feelings. Through it I could sense your outward injuries as well as a few of the inward ones. I know you're afraid, and I know you're distrusting of me but I truly only want to help.

The man paused and lifted his right hand toward Sado.

'Ell if you wanna help. I 'aven't been able to move my hand for days.

Sado noticed the numerous nails pulled from the nail beds and the index, and pinky finger were broken in two places dislocated at the metacarpophalangeal joint and the distal interphalangeal joint. It was as if the fingers were just pulled and twisted until they were dislocated. Sado extended his right hand placing the man's hanging hand upon it as he placed his left hand upon it. He pushed downward with his left hand as he pushed upward with his right causing the fingers to straighten and push back into place. It would have been more correct to reset each joint but Sado didn't feel like there was time as there were numerous more people to heal. The fingers made a cracking noise as they were set into place and he channeled healing chakra into the hand. This additionally healed the nail beds.

There, how does that feel?

Sado said smiling slightly at the man to try and promote a friendly back and forth.

Better.

Sado lowered his right and left hand now placing one on either side of the man's chest. He had two broken vertebrosternal ribs on the left side and one on the right. He pushed inward with a considerable amount of force while pushing upward setting the ribs into place again channeling healing chakra through the body. This allowed the ribs to set and heal properly as Sado spoke again.

There you're all set, except your teeth. I can't do much about those I'm not a dentist.

The man looked around at the group and spoke a little bit clearer now that he wasn't dealing with the pain.

He's alright. I'm Colin, thank you for the help.

To that one of the three woman stepped forward. She was bruised and battered, a black eye, lacerations to the body with patches of flesh missing. It was as if the person doing this was taking samples of flesh. It was strange and angered Sado slightly. It was as if she had been treated like a cut of meat, it reminded him of his own past. There was a large patch of flesh missing from her stomach as she pulled up her shoddy linen over shirt. Blood had soaked through it was a miracle some of these people were still alive. Sado performed the diagnosis skill and placed a palm on each patch of missing flesh increasing the cellular regeneration rate allowing more flesh to be produced thus closing the open wounds. He used isopropyl alcohol to sterilize the wounds as to reduce the chance of infection.

There you should be fine. I need someone to explain everything.

I'll heal the rest of you but right now I'm pretty pissed at whoever did this to you all.

Any information would be useful.


The woman he had just healed began to speak.

My name is Helena, I'm from Forskellig, I traveled up this way with a woman named Aveline and a hunting party she was in charge of the hunting party. One day she just vanished we searched for her until we were all exhausted. We set to rest in a small clearing and in the middle of the night we were ambushed. I didn't see much, it was dark.

The woman began to cry at this point seemingly thinking how best to explain.

I was knocked unconscious and woke up in a sterile white room. It was padded and small like a prison cell. I was there for a few days separated from everyone my only contact to the world was through a metal slit in the door that a man dressed in a white coat passed food through. On about the third day-... that's when it started. The man would take me to an operating table, after sedating me. I was still conscious but I couldn't control my body. Once there a man would speak over a speaker to the doctor who would follow his directions. He used big words, and told him where and how to cut into me. It was painful I couldn't move my body, I was forced to just lay there and cry. Then another man came, a few days later. He began opening the doors and setting fires. He let us all go and seemed rather angry searching through the compound for anyone or anything. We scattered we found a few of our people but some of these people we don't know. We thought it best to travel in a group. Then you showed up and offered aid-... I just want to go home.

Sado listened intently and waited for her to stop.

He seemed even more angered by the story as he looked around for Trunks.​

Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A (can negate up to 60 points)
Description: The medical ninja forcibly controls the cell cycle of the target tissue, causing rapid proliferation of the cells, thereby regenerating the tissue. This is done by infusing the cells of the target tissue with the users own healing chakra, potentiating mitosis and tissue growth. The drawback of this technique is that its not actually a healing technique but a tissue growth technique. It can serve to grow missing tissue but it cannot heal in the truth essence of the word and in essence is a much simpler application of the Mystic Palm technique.

( Iryō Ninjutsu: Shōsen Jutsu ) - Medical Technique: Mystic Palm Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A ( 60 )
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.
This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
- Help a friend (2)

Summary: After accompanying Sado to a land looking for lost hunters, Trunks is met with a situation in which he must help Sado figure out what is happening to his people, along with aiding them in the process. To be of use in making peace for these people was Sado's goal here, Trunks' was to assist Sado in anyway possible.




As Trunks speaks, Sado nods in the direction of a pair of tracks in the snow. Something easily missed by the way light shines off of the frozen ground mixed with deep shadows in seemingly the same area. Sado inspects the prints for a while, leading Trunks to do the same. All that he gathers from what he sees is a scurried pair of people making their way forward. It isn't long before Sado begins smelling the air around them. Trunks hadn't noticed before, but there was a strange, yet familiar scent in the air. Smoke and fire, but not normal ones from wood burning, this was electrical. The smell of smoldering plastic and silicate based products was unmistakable.

In a hushed tone, Trunks spills what he knows about the smell.Sado, I've smelled this before. My mother was mainly a scientist, and a few experiments she tried weren't exactly successful. She has two burned down labs to her name.. So far. This is what that smell is, or something really similar. I wouldn't be surprised to find a burned lab around here somewhere.

Then Sado grunts, confirming that he is going to follow the tracks, to which Trunks follows. Following the tracks, the pair would notice the nearly orderly march toward the direction they were headed, a very strange occurrence that one would not expect to find in nature, or even with a hunting party. Moving forward more, the pair stumble across the ruins of the lab. Sado once again inspects the site while Trunks looks about hoping to not see fallen victims out of his helps reach, which luckily there is none. Sado then begins to speak, noticably the first time he's done so since they arrived.

There was a fire, it seems like a laboratory. I feel like these people were running from something, or someone. I don't know how the fire started but it let them escape to safety. With the numerous amount of tools I assume some were tortured and tested upon. I noticed several scalpels strewn through the debris. On top of that instruments made specifically to torture it's disturbing. Who would do something that sick and demented? We need to find those people, their tracks indicate that they're lost, starving and most likely injured.

Sados thorough analysis of the debris leaves little to the imagination, Trunks concedes. He's probably right on all fronts. The only thing worrying Trunks is the manner of torture that these people had to endure. There was little medical ninjutsu could do to help one escape mental scarring. We should find them quickly, I'm sure they are ready for the warmth of helping hands. Trunks says as he and Sado move forward.

Taking in Sados body language, tone when he spoke, and nearly absent-minded movements, Trunks could tell that this was really eating at him. Sado truly cared for his people, so the thought of them suffering was causing him pain, something Trunks could completely understand. I know you don't want to hear this, but breath it out Sado. We will find them, and when we do, we will help them. It is not a matter of if, rather than when. Just like when it comes to serving the perpetrator justice, a matter of when rather than if. Trunks says in a calm tone. He knew that his words would most likely go in one ear and out of the other, but if even a bit of what he said brought Sado any amount of comfort, it was worth the breath.

Before long, they stumble upon a group of six individuals, where Sado immediately gets to work healing them. As he takes the first patient, Trunks moves to the others, resting their minds towards his intentions as he does so.

My name is Trunks, and this is Sado. We are medical shinobi here to help, I promise that nothing we do will be malevolent in nature. There will be no pain of it can be helped and you guys will be fit enough to go home in no time. Trunks says with a smile, noticing an obvious tension being released in the faces of some group members. As Sado speaks to a man, Trunks looks after a small child, who seemed to have suffered minor injuries compared to the rest, scrapes and bruises mainly, a couple of puncture wounds. Placing his hands on his stomach, Trunks pumps healing chakra into his injuries, healing them on the spot.

Moving onto the next woman, Trunks sees more of the same, a puncture wound, scrapes and bruises. Growing curious, Trunks asks the woman about the puncture. Through sobs he can make out that one doctor ran experimental treatments through her for a disease she didn't carry. To make it worse, she didn't know anything about what was injected into her body. Taking his hand and placing it in the center of her back, Trunks runs his chakra to gain a diagnosis of the issue at hand. Very quickly he realizes that this woman, as we as the others more than likely, were colonizing bacteria. Something that a rigorous run with healing chakra could fix, but if even a small amount were left behind, it would cause the colony to return. Knowing this, and assuming Sado knows the same due to the run ins he has had thus far, Trunks does what he can to scrub the microbes out of their system by inhancing their own immune system with his chakra. Returning to the boy he does the same thing.

Once everyone is out of fatal danger, Trunks nods toward an area not far but out of ear shot of the group that he walks too, expecting Sado to follow. I don't know what the **** they were doing to these people in that lab, but at least two of the people here had massive infections when I started treatment. I fear that the infection could return worse later though, so hold things down here for now, I need to see if I can't find something. Trunks says running back to where they seen the burned lab.

Once Trunks arrives, he begins the process of studying the floor patterns. These doctors were sociopathic sadists. What Trunks was looking for would only be in one spot according to that psychological profile, somewhere close incase of an accident. After a few minutes of searching, Trunks finds what he is looking for, an office attached to a lab. Moving around debris, rocks, and half burned lumber, Trunks eventually finds a floor safe under what use to be a desk. Ripping the corroded front face off of the device, Trunks reaches in and pulls out a hard case with a snapping cover, and a handful of folders. Opening the case, Trunks sees various vials filled with clear liquids, marked as different drugs and medicines. Looking at the files, he sees a picture of the kid he just treated, assuring they were also an important find to Sado and his people. Grabbing these thing in hurried fashion, Trunks tears a path back to where Sado was with the group.

Upon arriving, out of breath, Trunks would look at Sado with a look that said mission accomplished. Walking up, he would hand Sado the case of vials and records that he received. I believe these to be the files those monsters kept on these people. It should outline every horiffic thing done to them, including drugs and other foreign bodies they were subjected too. Knowing these things, we can help them now Sado, we just may have to recreate some of these to go around.

Trunks says in a hushed tone, so that only Sado can hear him. Sado seemed to have a grip on the situation, Trunks even found a few smiles among the group as he looked. Still, Trunks feels like having the complete story would benefit everyone greatly in the long run, even though the rage from it would cause even the most hardened of men to shed tears.

Removing his mask Desmond arrived at his op with Kira in toe behind him there they saw Byoto, Chi, and Alistair waiting:

Chi: Bout time you got here I almost called this and left.

Alistair: Chi, for a female you are brutish.

Chi: What was that you twerp?...

Alistair:
I said, You. Are. As. Brutish. As. Ever. Maybe now that I slowed it down you'll be able to comprehend.

Chi: :dafq: You little! (cracks knuckles)

Byoto: Now now Chi, he's just a kind and you know what they say boy at that age are mean to girls they like.

Alistair: :nosh:

Byoto: See look at...

Alistair/Chi: SHUT UP YOU IDIOT! (Chi kicks him in the back of the head while Alistair punches his stomach)

Byoto: :stone::beat:

Uh
....

Kira: I'm assuming you haven't seen this side of us have you? We have come to know each other very well and have also grown to be great friends and thus tend to relax around one another as if we're family.

I see. It's good to have friends like this around and if all goes well we will be. said Desmond with a sincere voice and a smile on his face.

Byoto:
On a more serious note Desmond.

Chi: Some of our villages have gone missing again.

Alistair: It would appear as they have been lost in the woods...

Desmond's face got more serious, Yes, I was meaning to speak on that during the meeting. You see one of the members of my clan was apparently capturing and running experiments on villagers that entered the woods during my absence.

Leaders: (Face turn to anger and Kira begins to tense up)

I know how this sounds but this was done without my knowledge and once I became aware of it I took went to this members lab set the villagers free and blew it to hell.

Kira: Then where are the villagers?

That is a good question they should've arrived at their homes by now. Moments after Desmond spoke several wolves appeared and began to growl at the leaders. Desmond stared them in the eye showing a slight seriousness letting them know that they were in the wrong on this one. The wolves began to whimper and bow their heads but Desmond crouched down and extended his arms showing that he wasn't upset. Picking their heads up they began to bark and turn around and at this time other animals began to show up all making noise and turning their bodies in the same direction.

Chi: What are these beast doing?

They are my allies. It seems they want me to go that way but why? Desmond activated his byakugan to see what was going on and in the distance, he saw several of the villagers that he released along with two unknown chakra signatures. I've located your missing villagers and it seems they are being accompanied by unknown persons.

Alistair: What! We must go to them!

Byoto/Kira:
Agreed.

No, you four stay here and go inside
the
op, I'm going alone. My clan is the reason these people were in the forest and my clan is the reason why they didn't get home safely. Also, if something goes array I need you four to be out of danger. If I die your villages and lives continue as normal but if all or one of you dies then a void would be left in this land. The four leaders nodding in acceptance.

Chi: Fine but don't keep us waiting!

I won't. said Desmond with a smile as he placed his mask over his head before he and the animals took off into the distance. As he traveled he'd muffle any sound his body or armor would make with his chakra to ensure the people wouldn't hear him coming. Arriving near the persons in question Desmond stopped in the distance utilizing the darkness of the forest to remain out of sight as he activated the five skulls on his pauldron. Ravens to fly overhead and some began to land on the shoulders of the villager's wings in full spread as
the
kaw'd at the unknowns. The yellow eyes of the wolves and snow leopards began to appear around the group as they slowly walked into the light teeth bore and growling. Just after this, a massive bear appeared along with the green glow from the eyes of the skeletons Desmond released.

These skeletons would form a star pattern around the group still not visible to the naked eye but still moving closer to them. Desmond would weave a single seal and begin projecting his voice alternating between the skulls and animals. What are you doing in our forest?... Why have you held up our people?.... Let... them... go... LEave...

Chakra: 1900-35=1865
Jutsu:
(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of hand seals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.

To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop their unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.

Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month has passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks away while those of sage rank can see as far as three away, but this doesn't extend beyond an ocean landmark.

(Muon Satsujin Jutsu) - Silent Homicide Technique
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost:10
Damage Points: 20
Description: Muon Satsujin Jutsu, the ability to commit a silent homicide, is a technique to dispatch your foe with no warning. Your quick speed and skills will instantly kill them before they can provide a defense. Best tactic is when used with Hidden Mist jutsu. The technique works by having the user focus his chakra and his complete attention on moving fluidly, rapidly but muffling any sound he may make while moving as well as his presence, etc. It doesn't suppress his chakra or hides it but it can make the opponent virtually undetected if he manages to get on the opponents blind spot.

(Utsusemi no Jutsu) - Empty Cicada Shell Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Forming the needed hand seal Ram, a shinobi can project his voice to a different area to hide their location and the number of allies at their side. It is an excellent complement to stealth tactics.
Reference:
(Gurentsu~e) - Grenth
Type: Weapon/Armor
Rank: S
Range: Short(gas/blades)-Mid(Skulls)
Chakra: 40(repair), X(-arm technique used), -5 per turn(Shijima Device)
Damage: +10(blade damage), X(poison dmg), X(arm technique dmg)
Description: Grenth is an armor based on the Tyrian God of Death; it was created by Desmond upon joining the Reapers. It is comprised of an animal skull, dense chakra metal pauldrons/chest plate/vambraces/tasset/greaves/sabatons, cloth lined with a chakra thread mesh, and leather straps. Altogether the armor is able to take up to one S-Rank of non-elemental dmg and up to one A-Rank of elemental dmg within reason. Unless the armor is completely destroyed the user can spend 40 chakra to infuse into the metal causing it to reform.

The skull mask is repurposed to function as a rebreather allowing the user to breathe underwater without making bubbles and a redesigned Shijima device built in as headphones. By flipping a switch the headphones activate draining 5 chakra from the user per turn allowing all chakra enhanced sounds A-Rank and below to be met with white noise preventing the sound from reaching the user's ears. On the right pauldron are five detachable skulls that can be filled with poison gas and tossed like a grenade at opponents; alternatively the user can push a button at the top of the skull sprouting a skeletal body no bigger than a 2yr old allowing the skull to chase down/latch onto enemies before releasing their poison. The vambraces are designed with puppetry in mind and were built to accommodate the use of any arm based puppetry techniques the user may know as well as release poisonous gas. The tasset has three heads and a man being dragged to hell on either side of them molded into it. These are filled with poisonous gas that can be released at the will of the user. Attached to the tasset is a long decorative cloth that has darken blades woven into the seams; due to their coloration, they aren’t noticeable by any means. The greaves have 8in hidden blades in the upper area and are filled with gas that can be released at any time. The sabatons have 8in hidden blades in the frontward soles.

Notes:
~Repairing counts as a move slot and can only be done twice.
~Utilizing puppetry techniques count as a move slot
~Utilizing gas while freeform takes a move slot
~Skulls can each contain different poisons which must be mentioned in bio
~Requires puppetry and some form of med training to utilize those fields
~Can only be taught by Pyro NB

Sado's own voice pierced over the other voice drowning it out. He used Thunderwave to snuff out the opposing voice being louder than it in all regards. He was fed up with this entire situation, he was ready to enact revenge upon whoever hurt these people. With the two people he had healed the few that Trunks had healed in his mind he turned on his right foot in unison calling upon the battery he held in his pouch. He took in the situation surrounding him the multiple animals, the strange constructs and the group of people he was determined to protect.
The battery gifted him a fair amount of senjutsu chakra enough to immediately enter Sage Mode allowing him to sense out the numerous chakra signatures in the area. Passively he noted the location of the individual he assumed was making the noise while also pinpointing the constructs he was controlling. The natural energy swelled around his body creating an intense aura.

Cut the bullshit, these people don't belong to you.

Several of them hail from MY lands the rest are scared, tired and hungry. I won't let you scare them anymore.

If you're the person who hurt them come out now, I owe you their pain ten fold.


As he spoke the three women seemed to move into position hiding behind him as the child Trunks had healed moved toward Trunks for protection. Sado stood firm and tall. He looked toward the chakra signature that he sensed waiting on him to speak again. If this was the person who harmed these people Sado was going to make them pay, and if it wasn't he was going to make sure it never happened again. Even if that meant taking over these lands, and forcing out another clan. He was livid, his eyebrows furrowed in displeasure as he called out again.

Show yourself and explain or I'll seek you out and end you myself.

His voice boomed out over the other voice snuffing it out making Sado the center of attention.

On top of this his eyes seemed to shine and gleam from the Sage Mode and his determination.​

( Fukanzen Hebi Sennin Modo ) - Imperfect Snake Sage Mode
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: N/a
Chakra cost: N/A ( -10 turn to sustain )
Damage Points: 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 immune to C-rank and below damage (unless externally empowered to increase lethality) for the duration of this technique. The user is able to passively sense chakra and his/her perception and reflexes are enhanced. Their ninjutsu and strength increases, empowering taijutsu and other close range physical combat techniques by +20. Additionally, the user is able to break out of Genjutsu, using Genjutsu release technique one rank lower than what he would normally be required to. Lastly, the user gains access to snake anatomy 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.

Passive:
( Kyuu-tsuki ) - September
Type: Tool
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: N/A ( +50 per turn ) ( -50 per turn to an opponent )
Damage: N/A ( -20 to an opponent's technique )
Description: September is a small orb-like self sustained chakra battery that can be pre-charged with basic chakra, or senjutsu chakra. If charged with basic chakra it will be compatible with any non-hostile shinobi. The battery has two capabilities called charge and drain. Charge allows a shinobi to draw chakra from the battery and drain allows the battery to draw chakra from a shinobi or their techniques. The battery has a max capacity of two hundred chakra.

Charge: While in direct contact with the battery or while it is on their person a shinobi can passively absorb chakra directly from the battery through contact. It can be used while still hidden or in a pouch not needing to be pulled out. It allows the shinobi to draw two hundred chakra from the battery at a rate of fifty per turn allowing for them to regain chakra or to supply exhausted allies with chakra. It can also be used to provided senjutsu chakra instead of chakra at a quicker rate allowing them to gain ten percent of their chakra as senjutsu chakra but can only be done once usually exhausting the battery. When exhausted the battery is still able to use it's drain ability.

Drain: Alternatively if a hostile individual tries to use the battery it will absorb their chakra instead of giving them chakra at a rate of fifty chakra stolen per turn. The wielder of the battery is also able to instigate this process passively by making direct contact with the opponent allowing them to instigate the process stealing fifty chakra per turn where contact is made. Additionally through this draining ability the battery is able to steal ten chakra from a technique causing it to weaken by twenty damage. This is similar to the capabilities of the Scientific Ninja Tool: ( Abusōbu Ude ) - Absorption Arm on a much lower and more basic scale. Where that can absorb entire jutsu this battery can only absorb ten chakra storing it in the battery. This portion of drain will cost a move slot, can only be used once per turn and only twice per battle.

Note: The wielder can only carry a single chakra battery
Note: Must state the ratio of basic chakra to senjutsu chakra that is found in the battery

190 senjutsu chakra 12 senjutsu chakra
10 regular chakra
( 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.
Chakra:

1900 - 20 ( Medical Tools ) = 1880
1880 - 30 ( Cellular Regeneration ) = 1850
1850 - 60 ( Mystic Palm ) = 1790
1790 - 5 ( Thunder Wave ) = 1785

Senjutsu chakra:
178 - 10 ( Sage Mode ) = 168

Removing his mask Desmond arrived at his op with Kira in toe behind him there they saw Byoto, Chi, and Alistair waiting:

Chi: Bout time you got here I almost called this and left.

Alistair: Chi, for a female you are brutish.

Chi: What was that you twerp?...

Alistair:
I said, You. Are. As. Brutish. As. Ever. Maybe now that I slowed it down you'll be able to comprehend.

Chi: :dafq: You little! (cracks knuckles)

Byoto: Now now Chi, he's just a kind and you know what they say boy at that age are mean to girls they like.

Alistair: :nosh:

Byoto: See look at...

Alistair/Chi: SHUT UP YOU IDIOT! (Chi kicks him in the back of the head while Alistair punches his stomach)

Byoto: :stone::beat:

Uh
....

Kira: I'm assuming you haven't seen this side of us have you? We have come to know each other very well and have also grown to be great friends and thus tend to relax around one another as if we're family.

I see. It's good to have friends like this around and if all goes well we will be. said Desmond with a sincere voice and a smile on his face.

Byoto:
On a more serious note Desmond.

Chi: Some of our villages have gone missing again.

Alistair: It would appear as they have been lost in the woods...

Desmond's face got more serious, Yes, I was meaning to speak on that during the meeting. You see one of the members of my clan was apparently capturing and running experiments on villagers that entered the woods during my absence.

Leaders: (Face turn to anger and Kira begins to tense up)

I know how this sounds but this was done without my knowledge and once I became aware of it I took went to this members lab set the villagers free and blew it to hell.

Kira: Then where are the villagers?

That is a good question they should've arrived at their homes by now. Moments after Desmond spoke several wolves appeared and began to growl at the leaders. Desmond stared them in the eye showing a slight seriousness letting them know that they were in the wrong on this one. The wolves began to whimper and bow their heads but Desmond crouched down and extended his arms showing that he wasn't upset. Picking their heads up they began to bark and turn around and at this time other animals began to show up all making noise and turning their bodies in the same direction.

Chi: What are these beast doing?

They are my allies. It seems they want me to go that way but why? Desmond activated his byakugan to see what was going on and in the distance, he saw several of the villagers that he released along with two unknown chakra signatures. I've located your missing villagers and it seems they are being accompanied by unknown persons.

Alistair: What! We must go to them!

Byoto/Kira:
Agreed.

No, you four stay here and go inside
the
op, I'm going alone. My clan is the reason these people were in the forest and my clan is the reason why they didn't get home safely. Also, if something goes array I need you four to be out of danger. If I die your villages and lives continue as normal but if all or one of you dies then a void would be left in this land. The four leaders nodding in acceptance.

Chi: Fine but don't keep us waiting!

I won't. said Desmond with a smile as he placed his mask over his head before he and the animals took off into the distance. As he traveled he'd muffle any sound his body or armor would make with his chakra to ensure the people wouldn't hear him coming. Arriving near the persons in question Desmond stopped in the distance utilizing the darkness of the forest to remain out of sight as he activated the five skulls on his pauldron. Ravens to fly overhead and some began to land on the shoulders of the villager's wings in full spread as
the
kaw'd at the unknowns. The yellow eyes of the wolves and snow leopards began to appear around the group as they slowly walked into the light teeth bore and growling. Just after this, a massive bear appeared along with the green glow from the eyes of the skeletons Desmond released.

These skeletons would form a star pattern around the group still not visible to the naked eye but still moving closer to them. Desmond would weave a single seal and begin projecting his voice alternating between the skulls and animals. What are you doing in our forest?... Why have you held up our people?.... Let... them... go... LEave...

Chakra: 1900-35=1865
Jutsu:
(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of hand seals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.

To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop their unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.

Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month has passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks away while those of sage rank can see as far as three away, but this doesn't extend beyond an ocean landmark.

Hearing the voice while trying to hand the files to Sado, the pair turn to face whatever threat faces them next. Immediately, Sado uses his technology to go Sage Mode, a practice he used against Trunks not long before. A practice Trunks knows all too well. Gripping the rings of his Shakujo, Trunks slams them into place while channeling chakra into the staff to separate them from the staff once more. Forming a hexagon pattern with the rings, Trunks then runs chakra through them to make a barrier. Picking up the child at his back side, Trunks yells to the five others Move close to me and fast! We need to get out of here! Trunks yells as he steps into the center of the platform. Begrudgingly, the people make their way to the platform, holding close to Trunks.

I leave the rest to you, my friend, be strong. Trunks says to Sado as he lifts his Shakujo high and away, leaving plenty of room for the ones about to battle.

(Saishi no Uta: Roku-Ten Kanma) Fourth Verse: Six-Point Barrier
Rank: A
Type: Defense | Supplementary
Range: Short (of user)
Chakra Cost: 30 (-10 per turn)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user, after either having their rings already released from the Shakujo for a separate technique, or by releasing them specifically for this technique, will have each ring align itself in a hexagonal formation in front of them. The rings will then release chakra from themselves towards the other rings, creating a thin barrier of condensed chakra with advanced enough shape manipulation that the barrier can withstand up to A-rank attacks. The barrier may be adjusted as the user wishes, gesturing with the staff portion of their Shakujo where the rings, and by extension the barrier, will move, and can even be used to lift the user into the air and hover so long as they wish. The barrier's diameter is wider than the user's height by only a few inches.

Desmond watches as the chakra around the man with the lab coat alters drastically but was then taken back by the loudness of the man's voice. "Not natural." he thought to himself as he flipped the switch on his headset and observed how the lavender-haired man created some platform and took the villagers into the air. The skeletons drew closer now becoming visible as Desmond jumped down from his tree and advanced towards the men. As he drew closer the green glow of his eyes would be seen piercing the darkness just before he entered the light.

Natives: Is that? That is that's the man that saved us! GRENTH! UP HERE! those of the land begin clambering around the edge of the hexagonal shape.

I apologize for the misunderstanding but as you can see those are our people and they aren't afraid of me. he said as he pointed upwards. Desmond and his
skele's now formed a 12m radius hexagonal pattern around the man with the lab coat. If I had known they weren't of this land I would've returned them to you.

Description: Grenth is an armor based on the Tyrian God of Death; it was created by Desmond upon joining the Reapers. It is comprised of an animal skull, dense chakra metal pauldrons/chest plate/vambraces/tasset/greaves/sabatons, cloth lined with a chakra thread mesh, and leather straps. Altogether the armor is able to take up to one S-Rank of non-elemental dmg and up to one A-Rank of elemental dmg within reason. Unless the armor is completely destroyed the user can spend 40 chakra to infuse into the metal causing it to reform.


The skull mask is repurposed to function as a rebreather allowing the user to breathe underwater without making bubbles and a redesigned Shijima device built in as headphones. By flipping a switch the headphones activate draining 5 chakra from the user per turn allowing all chakra enhanced sounds A-Rank and below to be met with white noise preventing the sound from reaching the user's ears. On the right pauldron are five detachable skulls that can be filled with poison gas and tossed like a grenade at opponents; alternatively the user can push a button at the top of the skull sprouting a skeletal body no bigger than a 2yr old allowing the skull to chase down/latch onto enemies before releasing their poison. The vambraces are designed with puppetry in mind and were built to accommodate the use of any arm based puppetry techniques the user may know as well as release poisonous gas. The tasset has three heads and a man being dragged to hell on either side of them molded into it. These are filled with poisonous gas that can be released at the will of the user. Attached to the tasset is a long decorative cloth that has darken blades woven into the seams; due to their coloration, they aren’t noticeable by any means. The greaves have 8in hidden blades in the upper area and are filled with gas that can be released at any time. The sabatons have 8in hidden blades in the frontward soles.
