Mini Event: What Lies Below

[Sunaku Harupia]

Haru did as signaled when Reiko motioned for him to remain silent as they moved forward. he wasn't sure how he felt the presence before them but he did. In return, he seemed to follow his nonverbal ask to remain calm, in spite of the fact the rumbling of the earth jutsu was becoming more and more obvious, enough for him to point out it could probably lure in whatever beasts befall on their team again. It was becoming clear that for whatever reason, be it the sustained injuries making him delirious, or events that transpired before they came, were making him not exactly trusting. He was fighting his instinct to try and tell him to and down, him raising his voice probably wouldn't help much. He was trying to think of a way to try and calm him down or see how much he could counter the other Earth Jutsu before another voice came.

It was a voice which seemed to calm the red-haired Shinobi, though the fact it seemed to be mostly due to surprise was a bit unsettling. Did he think the person had fallen? If so, what happened and how did he survive in the end? Was that actually the person the red-haired Chunin though it was? He did call out the women's name before succumbing to his wounds, though he couldn't tell whether it was fatal or him simply losing consciousness. He did recall the name though. "Niji...we saw you in Ataru's Snapshot when you were debriefing the team..."

She seemed to be better of than the rest of her team, if bearly, her entire hand covered in a bloody cloth. At least she was stable enough to walk and hold her peculiar blade, as well as talk with them. Harupia lowered his arms as well, assuming a relaxed position as he spoke "Ateru made it out to the desert, and had enough strength to send a signal flare and a distress call. I and a few fellow Shinobi answered" he would say, his tone calm as he adjusted his posture "Ateru was alive, but fading, so two other Shinobi had taken upon themselves to escort him back, while I and my companion came here to investigate what happened with the rest of his squad. My name is Sunaku Harupia, a Jounin of the village. You can check whether I am using anything to disguise my true form if you wish, but were are here to help" he finished, attempting to make a step forward while rising his arms to show he was also not hostile. He somewhat curses himself for not taking something of Ateru's which could show they have seen him...though he couldn't help but feel whatever happened here, it would make it hard for the members of the squad to drop their guard. And while that wasn't unwarranted, they would need to work together to try and get out of this mess.

[Mikaboshi]

NPC: Masashi Reiko

Their attempts to talk down the wounded chuunin seemed like they might be working until he slid suddenly back into a place of aggression and for a moment it looked like he might attempt to attack his would-be rescuers. His blood dripped freely from his clothing and his body and Reiko was keenly aware of each drop that fell through the air and pooled on the floor beneath him. It was a good thing that his eyes were covered as his eyes were not centered on Akito but rather tracing the movement of the various drops of blood as they fell to the ground. Swallowing hard as it looked like they might need to physically subdue Akito, a voice called out to them and did the subduing for them as Akito's hostility immediately smoothed out in the presence of the new arrival. No, smoothed wasn't the right word for it. The young man collapsed into the slowly gathering pool of his own blood as Niji appeared on the scene and challenged Harupia and Reiko for their intentions.

"Who are you? Did Ataru escape? Did you kill him?"

Reiko barely heard her questions. His eyes were still on Akito as he struggled with the instinct to pounce on the collapsed young man. The only thing standing between Akito and the ravenous teeth of Reiko's bottomless hunger was his not inconsiderable amount of willpower that strained against the weight of thousands of years of predatory instinct and desire. Akito was wounded. He was bleeding. And now he was vulnerable. Reiko couldn't explain the urge to steal away with Akito into the darkness of the cavern and rip him apart but the feeling was stronger than ever even despite the newly arrived Niji. He would die soon and the Hunger wanted to taste his blood while it was still warm.

My name is Sunaku Harupia, a Jounin of the village. You can check whether I am using anything to disguise my true form if you wish, but were are here to help"

Harupia's voice helped pull him out of the distraction that Akito's vulnerable state had created for Reiko and finally he turned his head towards the stone-faced Jounin that had arrived to challenge them. It didn't escape his notice that she was wearing a coat of blood as well nor the blood stained cloth covering her hand but Reiko found himself still too distracted by Akito's shallow breathing and weak heartbeat to think it through much.

"Your companion's heart is about to give out. He will die soon if you don't evacuate him."

Spoiler: Gift of Lifehunt

Gift of Lifehunt - Cursed Seal
Lifehunt refers to the innate sixth sense that all beings which have the blood of Orochi possess. It confers on them the ability to sense the heartbeats of living creatures around them in much the same way that a bat uses echolocation to detect objects. Each beat of a heart creates a ripple effect that Lifehunt senses and communicates to Reiko giving him a greater sense of his surroundings and making it much harder for living creatures to sneak around in his presence without his being aware of them. Lifehunt also represents a general sensitivity to the negative emotions created by the mortal soul during moments of hostility which are often referred to by martial artists as "bloodlust". Due to the Hunger he is drawn towards large concentrations of bloodlust like a shark to bloodied waters.
Effect(s):
• Melee Accuracy raised to "High".
• +5% chance of inflicting Bleeding. (2 Points)
• Failed Bleed/Suppression/Called Shot attempts add their % chance to the next attempt made during the same round (bypassing caps); the user's Bleed rank increases by 1 each round, cannot be lowered, and the user takes x1.5 Bleeding damage. (4 Points)
Cost: -6 CP Mod/rnd

"Reiko's right arm is a complex prosthetic limb that encompasses the hand, forearm, bicep and shoulder area of his left side. Crafted from synthetic polymers and carmont-enhanced steel, the arm itself has remarkable durability before taking any of it's other wondrous capabilities into account. With a synthetic chakra-system running through it, Reiko is able to mould and wield chakra just as proficiently as with his natural arm and the steel claws which adorn each of his fingertips are retractable to avoid any damage to his right hand when performing handseals."

Spoiler: CRPJ Information

Name of Jutsu: Gift of Lifehunt
CRPJ's Effect: Lifehunt refers to the innate sixth sense that all beings which have the blood of Orochi possess. It confers on them the ability to sense the heartbeats of living creatures around them in much the same way that a bat uses echolocation to detect objects. Each beat of a heart creates a ripple effect that Lifehunt senses and communicates to Reiko giving him a greater sense of his surroundings and making it much harder for living creatures to sneak around in his presence without his being aware of them. Lifehunt also represents a general sensitivity to the negative emotions created by the mortal soul during moments of hostility which are often referred to by martial artists as "bloodlust". Due to the Hunger he is drawn towards large concentrations of bloodlust like a shark to bloodied waters. The Gift of Lifehunt's effects are generally restricted to a localized area of around 15-20 meters around him.
Example RP of how it will be used: Closing his eyes, Reiko could no longer "see" in the traditional sense but he was still fully aware of those around him. There were two men standing directly in front of him and a third in the room beyond the hall that was attempting to hide his presence. Perhaps if the third man were more studied in the ways of stealth he might have been able to slow his heartbeat or conceal his presence through chakra-based means but as it stood he was a sheep that was unwittingly trying to hide from the sight of a predator that was entirely beyond him. With each beat of their hearts Reiko could feel the rush of blood surge through their blood vessels and each thump caused a surge of anticipation to hit him as the Hunger ached to taste their blood.
Reason why it cannot be used in battle: Gift of Lifehunt is the RP behind my character's Sixth Sense and Cursed Seal abilities. Technically during battle Gift of Lifehunt does not function but Sixth Sense and Cursed Seal abilities do.

Name of Jutsu: Patient Zero
CRPJ's Effect: Having consumed the blood of Orochi and awakened the latent ancestry in his blood, Reiko's body ebbs and flows with the corruption inherent in the Mad Ancient's blood. His lineage and his perhaps ill-conceived choice to drink Orochi's blood have given him complete immunity to the disease but the virus known as the Red Death lingers in his blood and is a threat to anyone who becomes exposed to his blood. Those that come in contact with his blood, saliva or the poisonous black vapor that he sometimes exhales risk contamination. The first stage of infection is an increase in hostile emotions which rapidly transitions to an unnatural feeling of hunger that can't be sated. Finally it manifests in a bottomless hunger for living flesh and blood making a feral "zombie" out of the infected person.

Infection is completely optional by the player of any character which comes into contact with Reiko's blood, are bitten by him or breathe in his vaporous breath weapon. Any character which is bitten, comes into contact with his blood or breathes his poisonous breath is at risk for infection but may be completely ignored if a player so chooses. Players which are infected by Reiko's Patient Zero effects are considered non-contagious and can't pass on their condition to others. In addition, being infected by Patient Zero cannot be used as a reason to initiate a modded battle unless all participating players agree.
Example RP of how it will be used:

!

!! Contamination !! Contact with Reiko's blood, saliva and poisonous breath causes contamination with a mind-affecting hemo-virus. After an incubation period lasting the remaining duration of this thread you will become 'hungry' for human flesh but you will maintain the cognitive capacity to not attack anyone for the next 3 threads you are in. After that you will start to become like a zombie (but with ninja powers) and become aggressive beyond control or reason. You are aware that you are sick almost immediately and can put two and two together but you must do so in-character. There are a number of cures (which you might have to ask around to find as they were developed by in-character medical staff). If you are uncomfortable with this disease process, I will negate this effect because everything I do requires consent from players and i maintain a stance that it would be inappropriate for me to do otherwise. However, this might be an enjoyable story arc for you.

Reason why it cannot be used in battle: Patient Zero has an incubation period and does not happen immediately. If a player which interacts with me chooses to be infected then it cannot have any impact on the battle which is currently being fought.
