Clear Skies [Going Missing]

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

Traversing the foreign lands was an item the Medical Sennin once upon a time contemplated, however the dream would pivot into reality far sooner than she had originally anticipated. Flowing in her wake the ivory medical coat, wafting on the stray zephyrs cascading downwards from the Phoenix Gate's drafting sections, and instinctively her gloved hand firms holds the bill of the Hokage hat adorning her head. While it was true it wasn't a true genuine article, the Leaf elders had given her a temporary when she was coined temporary village leader in the absence of Takeshi, and a souvenir Mikasa would not part from.

Leaning her head back, ever so slightly, the kunoichi's tundra orbs focus on the drifting puffs of ivory above. Various avian's grace the airways, yet a single young Hawk struggling to find the proper slip stream found itself with gaining a silent prayer. "Continue to do your utmost best, soar across the paths lain before you." the maiden whispers, becoming alerted to moisture gliding down her wrist and catching against the brilliance of the beams of light above. "I wasn't aware it was supposed to rain today.." she mumbles, as the droplets continue to silently rain down on the perfectly clear day.

Lowering her head, the Sennin hastens her pace. Various letters would be written at a later date, yet could not stomach remaining. Her pathway for the younger generation stained in crimson waters and cries of agony. The one promising precious sound of laughter long silent, the very leaves themselves dulling. To linger on further regrets would only halt her advancement, for now she had to stay on full alert, despite her choice of clothing.

One final tug on the brim of the hat would be enough to shadow her facial features, except for the stray so called droplets of rain on the gorgeous day.​

[Nanjirou Soku]

The weather was nice on this day. She liked the rain, although at times it could be an bearer of ill omen. Finsihing her tour of duty on the gates, she walked towards the pathway stopping at the eys of a figure approaching. The hat covered the persons feature but her eyes narrowed. The hat was interesting in itself, it seemed similar to the Hokage one Takeshi had. She held a hand up to the figure.[color=#00040]"StangerI pray you halt and tell me your purpose for this trip."[/color]She said peering at the indivdiual. It was an strange time to be out and about."Passport if you will."She said adjusting her blade. The Captain usually did not attend to gate duty but the one time she did, it seemed like someone had decided to grace her presence. With the threat of Frost, she had been more vigilant and this person was giving all her all sorts of reasons to be suspicous. The hat drawn down low, unreadable features and who would be traveling in such horrid weather?"I do not believe you to be the Hokage, admirable as the hat is, pray identify yourself."She said her voice growing sharp.

[Kairyuu]

Maki watches as the two women make themselves kbown, a frown forming on hos face. This was getting to be a bother, people fleeing the gates like this. As the rain falls, he too makes himself known, to these two.

"And we seem to be busy. So, who is going where, why, and whats with the hurry?" Maki was wearing his typical samurai armor, a distinguishing feature if he had one, but the missing limb and eye helped show who he was also.

[Catch]

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

Halting a familiar voice calls for the maiden to cease her traversing. A faint wisp escapes her lips as she pivots about to face the shrouded ANBU kunoichi, Mikasa's digits pressing upwards on the brim of her hat to reveal the features beneath. "My passport? Surely you jest." she replies, wiping at the moisture gathering on her cheeks. Concerning the weather, a perfectly clear day, yet she could have sworn Mother Nature was berating the soil beneath her open arms.

"I will not show you one, ANBU-san. I am taking my absence and I suggest for the gate's safety to allow my traversing. Place a bounty of my head once I leave, I care not." she remarks with a sorrow grin, her usual tundra optics faintly hued with crimson to indicate her disposition. Removing the temporary given hat, platinum locks flow downwards, "Tsukasa Mikasa, Medical Sennin of Konohagakure. Rather, merely Tsukasa Mikasa." she continues before turning around to continue with her traveling.

Once more, additional familiar vocals voice themselves from the shadows the Phoenix Gate cast, Maki-san, always a pleasure.."

[Uchiha Asuka]

Asuka looked down from on top of the gate, well this was interesting to say the least. It seemed as though a party was coming together. Teleporting down in front of the group Asuka simply hugged her big sister from behind. "Big sissss!" She said smiling with a cheerful tone. "It seems as though you came to visit me at my work place."


With a turn of her head she acknoweldged the presence of the Hokage Advisor. "Well. well. well." She spoke clapping her hands together. "It seems as though we got a party going around here."

With a stern but happy look at the girl in question she sighed. "Unfortunately." Asuka sighed scratching the back of her head. "Would like to know why you're leaving Mikasa-sama. With frost coming over, shitstorm brewing, etc... etc... I'm guessing your hospital needs you."

[Nanjirou Soku]

Her pupils widen for a moment as the kunoichi gazes upon the familar features of the Medical Sennin. Her demeankr had changed and from her intial refusal to show documentation, it was clear what her intent was."It's treason then, Mikasa-sama.."She asked giving the woman a sad smile of sorts, a tear running down her cheek as her Sharingan meets those once vibrant eyes of the med-nin. A voice interuppts her and she nods acklowneding the former ANBU Sennin's presence."Maki-san. Right on time."She said giving him a glance."I was simply inquiring to Mikasa-samas reason for exit yet so far, she seems quite adamant about leaving despite lack of proper documentation, I am afraid to say."The Captain was tired of it. Everything. It was like her world had crashed down around her. She had served Konha tirelessly, spent her blood for this damned village and this was the end result. She did not blame the woman in front of her, to Soku, all hopes for surviving a war with Frost was lost with the way they were proceeding. Yet, she remained for her family. She looked at Mikasa, the tears staining her cheeks as her hand dropped to the hilt of her Storm Blade."I am grateful to you. I still recall that procedure you did which saved my shoulder so many years ago. I trust you Mikasa-sama, we have known each other for a milennia. This is a route I do not want to go down. I implore you to reconsider your actions."

She felt arms wrap around her and looked around to see Asuka. She simply ruffled the girls hair not taking her eyes off Mikasa."You are someone I respect, Mikasa but I will not hesistate to protect the security of Konoha."She said her voice hardening. Inside, she was laughing inwardly at herself. Protect the village? What was there to protect if there was no unity? No support, an incomptent leader. Yet, she stood here giving up her time and risking her flesh for this dying population. The Captain was drained morally and physically, but if things were going to erupt, now was not the time. After all, she still had those family that she had to take into consideration. "I say again..stand down."She glances to Maki and Asuka. At least she had backup, an veteran with some limbs missing and an Uchiha. She sighed to herself. Conflict no matter the era.

 

[Kairyuu]

He bows his head in a nod towards Mikasa, not taking his eye off her as he does. Maki knew the other was not to be taken lightly, all of the shinobi Leaf sent to that tournament made it on to the follow up round, and that alone meant he would not let his guard down around them in a tense situation. As Soku begins speaking, Maki’s brown orb seems to shift colors with each blink, finally settling on a soft blue color. So….this was it then.

”I am not aware of any missions outside of the village that Takeshi would have sent you on, and indeed with the state of this village right now, I cannot imagine there is anyplace Konoha needs you more than within her heart healing the wounded.” He sighs softly and looks up for a moment, letting the rain hit his face.

”Following the footsteps of Migoya and his group? While I can agree with their sentiment that something is wrong, I cannot agree that fleeing the village is how to fix it. That is the coward’s way out, to leave the problem behind instead of remaining, trying to heal the sickness. What kind of mednin sees a wounded entity like their own home, and chooses to run away?”

He looks back at Mikasa now, his face set. ”We both know this is the wrong way of handling things.”

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

Santaru Soku removes the guise to display herself to the Medical Sennin, although guessing from the vocals, Mikasa knew the identity for the most part. Gradually she lessens the distance between the kunoichi and herself, "Treason to take my leave from a village where children are slaughtered instead of correcting behavior? Where we are allowed to brutalize our own comrades? Surely you are the one mistaken, ANBU-san." she retorts, "In fact I retract my statement, it is treason that I failed to take sufficient action to aid those who are supposed to learn and surpass us to elevate the village to greater heights." the maiden murmurs.

Regrettably the Santaru's tears would fail to convince, yet she understood the current fabrication of emotions tormenting the poor lass. "It pleases me to no end that your trust has been placed in me throughout my years of service. I ask that you have it remain for another moment longer, although I am unsure if I was deserving of it initially." comments in a bitter sweet vocal, replacing the wide brow hat on her head once more.

Uchiha Asuka would inquire various items from her superior, however she would not answer them minus one particular, "Those of the Konoha Medical Corporation are top notch shinobi and kunoichi. I would not worry, they been trained thoroughly over the past years and are able to perform their duties to the level excellence that is expected of them." the medical nin corrects with a faint grin, dismissing any further questions from her for the time being. Azure optics shimmer, glistening in the rays of sunlight and command for Mikasa's immediate attention. Leisurely her own gaze shifts to greet Maki's.

"There is only a single solution I have been able to conclude towards, Maki-san. The tree is rotting and has been for a significant amount of time." she proceeds to explain her disposition, "It has been long overdue to cut the limb before the roots become irreparable. Due this mentality, it is not safe to have me dwell in the village." while she had witnessed the power of the shinobi before her, his current state was a mere fragment of the fighter in the tournament.

Tonkon Maki was indeed a formidable opponent, however she was unsure to what degree with is current limitations.

Spinning on her heel, leisurely continues trudging forward.​

[Edit: Grammar.]

 

[Uchiha Asuka]

Asuka scratched the back of her head listening to everyone exchange words. At first here sisters words made sense, although it seemed she was showing respect Asuka felt it was more dissapointment. Maki on the other hand went straight to the point, nothing about beating around the bush but simply saying what he was thinking. She admired that.

Mikasa's response was on point, no wonder she was chosen to be Medical Branch Sennin here words uttered wisdom, although she didn't exactly agree with it, but it was respected. Although she was a bit tired of the exchange of words, time being wasted. Asuka threw a Kunai in front of the walking Mikasa, letting her know she couldn't walk any furthrt. With a slight pinch of her nose Asuka sighed. "Pretty much letting the tree die instead of helping saving it. But enough of the chit chat, let's stop wasting time." She spoke, a bit annoyed. "As you probably heard Mikasa-san. Takeshi gave a village wide headset call for all Sennin to report to his office. So, you got a choice. Either present yourself to that meeting and speak, which I'm sure Maki-san will happily escort you too, or try and get through us and leave the village. Take. Your. Pick."

 

[Nanjirou Soku]

She watches as Asuka flicks forth a kunai embedding it in the ground in front of the rogue Sennin, if she could even be called that. It hurt her to address her as such. The Captain inhaled sharply steeling herself for this exchange of words she hoped it didn't come to blows. That was something she did not want to get into with this woman, not after how long she had known her. Maki spoke, his voice reaching her ears, she watched the man, his eye shifting color before settling on one. She pushed the thought to the side focusing on the mess in front of her. She twitched her fingers into a handsign sighing deeply as the medic-nin trods towards the gate."So be it, then, if that's how you want to play this."A clone appears in front of the kunoichi, Soku's duplicate looking directly into the Sennin's eyes, the Sharingan swirling to form an Mangekyo."I will ask you one final time, cease your intentions and stand down, trust me, I have an simpler way of solving this but it is not as peaceful."Soku was internally screaming, this was tearing at her. What was she doing? Was this right? She did not trust herself to speak. Her hand gripped the hilt of her blade as it began to come loose drawing it. She shook her head, this village was lost, it had lost more than it had gained and frankly, she did not want to worsen the situation. She agreed with some of Mikasa's viewpoints but frankly, she had not gained the conviction to do something so blatant.

She glanced at the samurai warrior, even with some limbs missing, the dude was terrifying."Your call."She said. The Captain refused to start any act of aggression towards someone when they could resolve this with words or so she hoped. She would leave that choice for the highest ranking among the three to make. A part of her urged at her to stop, stand up for what was right, forsake this hellhole known as Konoha.Cut.It.Out.She told herself firmly. She had just been enjoying a lovely chat with the guards a while ago, and now this. Could she not have one day in peace? That was something that tended to be rare these days. The clone began to walk towards Mikasa, a kunai in it's hand as it got closer and closer."Listen, I don't know what is going on inside your ingenious mind but Maki-san is right. Fleeing the village is a coward's way to express themselves. You are far above that. If you have any qualms or opposition to the village, voice your concerns. Perhaps not all will agree with you but people need you Mikasa. Do it for the villagers at least. Frost is at the doorstep, people are dying. Your medical staff needs someone to guide them and that is you. Are you saying you would rather watch those people die by doing this?"She was so getting punched for this by the woman, she assumed. Anything to keep this god-forsaken village on it's feet."If not, then show us."She slowly held out a gloved hand tensing for the reaction.

 

[Kairyuu]

Disappointment is one of the more powerful feelings. It starts off small, maybe unnoticed amongst the other emotions going through one’s head. He had hoped his words would be heeded, but instead they were cast aside as if barely listened to. And thus did the seed being to sprout. As Mikasa walks further towards the gate, disappointment would slowly grow stronger in his mind under, with a sigh, Maki forms a few seals and the gate itself becomes blocked off on the other side by a large wall of rock. While the other could certainly break through, it would not happen before she was set upon.

”There have been enough people fleeing this village with cause to return later and cause harm. You have been given your ultimatum, Mikasa. Either come with us, or attempt to go through us. There is no alternative at this point.” He had failed to stop some of those people already, Maki had no desire to let more out. Not someone who could still be of use to the village.

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

Fortunately the broad brim of the hat prevents the maiden from averting her gaze towards the Sharinigan wielding ANBU Captain, "You are not a child, Soku-san, nor are you the victim in this situation and thus I kindly inquire you to cease acting so." Mikasa murmurs. The weight of the pairs shoulders colliding is a dull emptiness, "The Medical Branch will continue to thrive, more so than any branch in the village of Konohagakure." the kunoichi whispers one final time, further ignoring any additional statements pertaining to the profession she dedicated herself towards for numerous years.

Erupting from the earthen terrain, a jagged structure blocks the route in which the woman dedicates herself to traversing. "Ironic, don't you think, Maki-san? You who returned with Takeshi-san from Sunagakure to join New Konohagakure when he was ANBU Sennin is giving me no ultimatum to leave?" she calls back, the aiding of her vocals echoing off the chakra infused wall. Delicately her ungloved fingertips graze along the smooth texture in swirling motions. "No matter, our views differ significantly. I find no shame in understanding I require a leave of absence versus the generalized conception of fleeing a cowards notion. What I do find baffling is that the previous groups left with zero difficulties." she shakes her head, in turn causing the loose strands of platinum to sway to and fro.

Shame, she would have never fled with those she never fully knew, outside of Migoya, however the diligent gate keeper of Uchiha Asuka sure dropped the ball on that specific case. No matter, she had expected to not leave without a hitch. "I apologize that you all are hell bent in dragging me into Konohagakure on a stretcher, however that is less than appealing." utilizing her index finger, she props the brow upwards to reveal her tundra optics, and in turn a thin grin spreads, "If you all wished to truly halt my adventures, you should have brought sufficient force to do so. I do not wish to harm anyone, so please, look the other way."​

[Uchiha Asuka]

"I gave you a choice Mikasa-san." Asuka sighed scratching the back of her head. Her words were full with dissapointment, she didn't want it to come to this but it seemed as those it was going in that direction, with a stern look at Mikasa. Asuka simply spoke. "Hell bent? Huh.... I was hoping to avoid a fight. But your choice is obvious."


Asuka took a defensive stance. "So, you got one last chance to stop this! Either go by yourself, or I'll drag you to Takeshi myself."

[B-mod called]

 

[Kanagawa Nozomi]

Welcome to a Moderated Battle!
I will be your B-Mod -- Kanagawa Nozomi!​

I will be asking for the following:
+ Username
+ OOC Rank
+ Character Level
+ Custom Class
+ Stats (Tai, Nin, Gen, Stam, Agi, CC -- Order isn't important)
+ Bloodline/Core Ability (Provide a Link)
+ Kinjutsu (if applicable) (Provide a link)

+ As with above, if you are using something from a particular augment, link that. If you are using something from your bloodline/core ability/kinjutsu, link to that table. If you are using something from a particular ability, link to the particular ability!
+ When doing calculations, don't calculate damage or CP. I'll do that myself.

+ If there are anything that might modify your actions -- such as if you have +25% ninjutsu damage and you're doing a ninjutsu, stating it there will help me remember those buffs.
+ Make your actions clear and concise -- a wall of text makes it hard to read your actions even if you are comboing.
+ Keep your conditionals in mind. Only things you'd know IC can be used as conditionals.
+ You have exactly 48 hours to submit an RP and send actions. Failure to do this will result in being placed in Defensive Mode and doing nothing else. (other than smart actions)

+ Label all round actions by the round they are for. so Round 1 actions -- Label the PM "Round 1 Actions"

Read Me!​

By approving this mod, you agree to follow the stated rules above.

Good luck to the competitors and FIGHT ON!

NOTE: First round will take a little while to put up due to having to compile all numbers together and all that -- so be patient with round 1.

IMPORTANT: I do not entertain "RAW vs RAI" arguments. If a thing is modded a certain way, that's how it will be modded. If you have any gripes about how it's modded, please make a suggestion to get it's wording fixed.

 

[Kairyuu]

Due to it being the holiday season ontop of some offline issues in my life, I will not be able to keep up with the 48 hour rule.
I will be requiring the following of RoE on this, 5 days as long as I have not been active elsewhere on NC.

Sending actions and doing RP shortly.

Maki’s face sours as Mikasa speaks, his single eye shifting once more in color to land on a vibrant red shade at the words given. ”Sufficient force?” His voice was little more than a growl, but it carried well enough. ”It’s not enough that you turn your back on the home that needs you now, more than it has ever before. Now you insult those of us willing to help?” As Asuka takes up a stance, Maki himself simply stretches out, and the prosthetic on his stump of an arm falls away, revealing the skeletal limb hidden under the metal, giving it the ability to move as well as a real limb could.

”As stated, you’re not giving us a choice in this matter.”

(Sending Stats and actions)

 

[Nanjirou Soku]

"You are acting like a child and quite frankly, I don't see any other alternative as you have made clear yet so far, Mikasa."The Captain said rather coldly dropping the honorific "Sama" by which she used to address the Sennin by. She shook her head to and fro as there was ring of steel on leather and her blade came unsheathed to point at the woman."You have no idea...no idea how much it pains me to do this, one by one, it seems like my comrades, my friends, my family are fading away from me. You are all under this illusion that perhaps your problems will go away, be resolved. Have you ever though of the grief you inflict on those you have made bonds with here? It..is...not...all...about...you!"She spat the last word as she advanced towards the woman spinning her blade to and fro between her hands."This village may not be seeing the best of times and you have a right to express your views but this is just like disregarding those you have bonded with. I swore an oath to protect this village and I will uphold that, you have no idea of the isolation I felt in this village but I did not flee because of this. I fought against it and look where I am now."She said gesturing besides her to Asuka and Maki. Soku would never dare speak so blatantly to someone like the woman in front of her but something in her had snapped, her hands were shaking as she gripped the blade, sweat trickling down her back.

"Konoha is my honorbound home and I will not live to see it ruined by people such as yourself. If I am beaten a hundred times over and left for dead at the gates, I will still do my best to ensure this village stays on this feet and I do not care what rank or power you hold, Sennin or no Sennin, once you come to these gates with an intention to desert, to betray those who have had your back all these years and to disregard the pleas of your allies then woman, I have nothing more to offer you other on this living plane."Stop it, are you crazy, what are you doing?!Soku was internally screaming her grief and pain as lightning began to flow through her hands."Today is the day that will ring with sadness, sadness of the highest degree. I will enjoy that one moment we shared upon the Hokage Rock. I have nothing more to say to you, foe."With that, she clammed her mouth shut and broke out in a run at the kunoichi.
[Actions sent]

 

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

The terminology of choice was wasted on the Medical Sennin, for the previous 'fleeing' individuals pressed forward with hardly any difficulties. Truthfully, it appeared that the trio was utilizing specific phrases to cater to a situation which had been ignored for a significant period of time and flavored for convenience sake. No matter, Mikasa wasn't going to judge any further and would merely release a wisp from her pursed lips, "A far cry from insulting, merely speaking truthful words; however read into it as you please." she replies in a cheerful tone.

"If you believe that if I walked backed into the village to be allowed my leave under different circumstances, than we have other issues at hand here." Mikasa further iterates, pressing the tip of the brow upwards to reveal her tundra optics. "It is baffling that you are considering me a foe given the past years events."​

[OOC: Sending information and actions.]

 

[Kanagawa Nozomi]

The five day maximum wait-time has expired. Any who have yet to submit information or actions will have their information sent to me from the admin and will be placed into defensive stance.

 

[Kanagawa Nozomi]

So... WTF happened?

BMod Notes:
- Uchiha Asuka was forced into Defensive Stance due to not submitting their profile nor submitting their actions to me. The 5-Day wait was installed and they failed to send me either. An admin had sent me their current profile and they will be using that for this fight. If there is any complaints about this call, please ask Shiori.
- One of Soku's actions wasn't allowed to be performed. When submitting Kinjutsu items, you MUST also state what abilities you have for the Kinjutsu. This is just like a Core Ability where you MUST state your kinjutsu and the abilities you have -- a link to the entire kinjutsu is not allowed. If there is any complaints about this call, please ask the Head BMod.
- A few of Mikasa's actions couldn't be completed due to Conditional Activating and Suppression.
- A few of Soku's and Maki's actions couldn't be completed due to one of Mikasa's hidden actions. I cannot tell you the reason why as it is a hidden action.
- Any harassment towards me, on any medium, will be reported to the admininistration.
- Any harassment towards any of the combatants ought to be reported to the administration from the one affected by the harassment.
- Any questions in regards to this mod may be directed to me via on-site PM. I will not entertain anything said to me over discord or any other medium other than the site.
- You all have up to the RoE to send next round's actions and post an RP. Failure to do so will result in Defensive Mode. Even being a minute late with submitting actions will result in Defensive Mode.

Changes:
- Forgot to add Duelist bonus damage towards Mikasa via Water Whip. Damage updated.
