Ninpocho Chronicles

Ninpocho Chronicles is a fantasy-ish setting storyline, set in an alternate universe World of Ninjas, where the Naruto and Boruto series take place. This means that none of the canon characters exists, or existed here.

Each ninja starts from the bottom and start their training as an Academy Student. From there they develop abilities akin to that of demigods as they grow in age and experience.

Along the way they gain new friends (or enemies), take on jobs and complete contracts and missions for their respective villages where their training and skill will be tested to their limits.

The sky is the limit as the blank page you see before you can be filled with countless of adventures with your character in the game.

This is Ninpocho Chronicles.

Current Ninpocho Time:

Murder? [OPEN]

[col]The outsider had been, thus far, civil during her stay in the Wind Country. Why wouldn't she be civil, after all? She was in country, not of her own, with laws and customs foreign to what she was often used to... aside, of course, from the universal laws that were oft dictated by common decency and common sense. By all accounts, she had been a law abiding citizen contrary to the stereotype that mercenaries and missing shinobi were otherwise.

But, oh, of all the people to make her break her good behaviour was this detective.

Logically speaking, out of many a context, it would make sense for her to be one of the suspects. But from the woman's point of view, suspecting her was idiotic. And she did oh so hate being accused of something she was not guilty of. Add to that that she was being blockaded off from an investigation, from learning of the truth. Well, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned- especially one who knew many things about the human body that she could very well make you sick with a touch.

"I'm a suspect? I'm suspect? No, you and that ugly caterpillar on your lip is suspect. I've no reason to murder someone I barely know. I understand that you're only doing your job." she hissed, her tone cold and furious as opposed to her usual warm demeanour. Colder still, than the tone she took when she only laid out the medical facts.

Without even a by your leave, she snatched the notepad from the man's hand and scoffed. "But I am also doing mine. It is obvious that your investigation is sloppy at best. Suspicious blonde child, seemingly nervous when questioned? Of course she's nervous, she's a child! Seemingly? Suspicious blonde child? Ask her for her name, fucking hell! The body's been dead for three hours? You can infer such a thing from sight alone? You didn't investigate properly! Not even a physical examination of the corpse. I ought to put your license and training into question, detective," she spat the title, jabbing a finger into his chest.

That simple touch hid her true intention however. Even if the man were to try to stop her from that simple act by say, grasping her by the wrist, she had already been preparing to keep the man where he stood. Earth grew, like creeping vines, from the ground and from where the woman made contact. Hopefully, it would keep the stupid man in place and leave the doctor to actually investigate as none of the three policemen had so much as opted to examine the corpse closely.

"Shut up. Don't move, don't speak, don't breathe. I'm trying to think. Detective, face the other way, you're putting me off," she drawled in a malicious tone before turning around and making her way towards Lady Moto's body. Her gaze was like a basilisk and she was just daring Ryuu and Kon to try and stop her. "Arrest me for assault against a policeman. Arrest me for contempt of the law. But you can do so, after. Unless you want to fight me? I promise, I won't go down easily. And I won't kill you, oh no, but I can make it so that you spend the rest of your life in a hospital bed wishing you were," she smiled, gesturing idly to the metal walls trapping them all in here with her.

Her mind was already working a mile a minute, even if she was only on the approach.

「 Female victim. Lady Moto Sakura.」

「 Died at age... forty seven. Odd. Weren't there rumours that all of their line die at this age?」

「 Some kind of curse? Don't be ridiculous. I'll find out more with a close up examination.」

  • Well, Nanami's mad. In more than one meaning of the word.

    Summary:

    Used Petrification (Mastered) the Earth Ninjutsu on Detective Yagami

    Will cast Petrification (Mastered) the Genjutsu to whoever tries to stop Nanami

    If the targets of petrification manage to resist the effects, two Medical Clones will come to life to do the autopsy for Nanami while she fights off the local police trio... I don't think we need to do a thorough autopsy anyway, beyond a cursory and basic physical examination?
[/legend]<FONTFACE fontface="monospace">[/col]
 
The guard was taken aback by her Dojojitsu but still did not heed Sai’s warning about trying to take her somewhere else. He pulled a vial from his wrist and sprayed some unknown contents towards Sai’s face seeing how this was not really planned out to well by the guard. Sai made quick work using a Stunt double (master rank)

Her double took the hit in her place as she dashed over to where he stood Readying her famous jutsu to counter him. Obviously this guard took his eye off the ball there since he directly attacked her first. Forgetting once again where they were. She slapped a Tsuihouton Tag (rank 3) On lookers would see a sealing tag slap on to the guards back and in a split second a large metal coffin wrap around the guard and slamming shut. Seeing how this guard wasn’t to smart Sai also made sure he wouldn’t come at her again by reading another tag, “One more time I posed no threat to anyone here and wasn’t even attacking anyone. You then proceeded to try assault me I am merely defending myself. I give you another warning you continue your assault I will be forced to defend myself. This will not end well for you so as of now your in time out Baka." "Now be a good little guard and stay put I don’t want to hurt you but you are currently forcing my hand. Sai kept a eye on the other guard making sure he didn’t move towards her.


Sai also noticed the ole bat yelling orders just grew a bit more heated. Now she went as far as trying to tell the cop how to do his job. She couldn’t hear what was said between the ole bat with the detective but whatever it was neither was happy. Sai rested in close proximity to the body still but this time she was a bit more cautious as to what was going on around her. She did catch the part on where he wrote a time of death without even looking at the body. Normally a detective would have waited for the medical team to declare time of death. Sai found this to be a bit suspious. Seeing how angry the older shinobi was it only made the suspsion worse. Sai then glanced over to the mistress seeing how she wasn’t crying and having a fit. Sai also gathered that this was a bit odd as well. Saieko had a few possibilities in her head currently but wasn’t going to let the cat out of the bag until everything was settled here with Tweedledee and Tweedledum here. The two other little girls that were at the party were either hiding or Sulking in the corner. Maybe they also saw something as well.

Sai once again got wrapped up in something that really was annoying to say the least I mean all she wanted to do was maybe drink dance partake in some party festivities and go home with a few rich peoples wallets and or purses in tow. Now however there was no way to take a few purses and wallets. Because someone else caused another larger ruckus making it impossible to pickpocket a few people, she still however glanced around looking at few targets and noticed some elaborate jewelry and fat wallets judging by the bulge’s in their back pockets.

MFT:WC:570
 
Things seemed to be going from bad to worse for Yumi, at least that was how she saw them. When she was no longer the subject of Nanami or the detective's attention she made quick steps to the side and moved to dissapear into the crowds of people. The loud sound of the coffin slamming shut around the officer caused Yumi to retreat even more. She was no shinobi, she was only a child after all!

Still clutching the remnants of the present box she did her best to try and remain invisible to anyone who looked like they might have any remote interest in her. The exit was blocked, but surely it couldn't stay there forever? Surely she could leave unharmed and without being arrested if she just tried to be quiet, small and just blend in...

((OOC: Sorry for the huuuuuge delay =x Could think of what to do when I had a chances to post. Please do continue on without me. ^_^ ))
 
Daichi tried to keep to the side-lines herself. It was only sensible, considering how she bowled under some higher class twit well enough to send him tumbling down. Eh, Dai might have sent him down. Admittedly, the girl didn't look back at all while fleeing. Hopefully, the youth could keep herself in the background long enough for this matter to be settled.

OC: Sorry for the delay, my muse was butchered in a way much more grotesque than that woman.

IC:
It was time to scatter. Time to flee. Daichi and Yumi were not the only ones thinking about running away, onlookers were growing increasingly weary of the public debates and the displays of power and authority. Those with power, money or influence always seem to think that it also gives them the right to be in charge. It has almost become thematic of the world setting. There were walls of earth and stone blocking the exit of Daichi and Yumi by a power this author could not harness. Nanami, however might allow them leave if her walls were to recede for just a moment.

“One more time I posed no threat to anyone here and wasn’t even attacking anyone. You then proceeded to try assault me I am merely defending myself. I give you another warning you continue your assault I will be forced to defend myself. This will not end well for you so as of now your in time out Baka." "Now be a good little guard and stay put I don’t want to hurt you but you are currently forcing my hand.</B><i></i>

The young girl. The same young girl that stabbed a dead woman with the end of her blade. The same young girl who had to audacity to resist being taken away for questioning by security or proper authorities, to be held accountable for her actions and her her rudeness. The same young girl who is now claiming self-defense in a room full of witnesses who had seen her previous actions. The girl slapped a tag, apparently not considering the fact that the guard could have evaded her attack. He did not move out of the way for one reason or another one could suppose, the seal flashed with chakra briefly before six walls surrounded Kon.

"A shinobi twat"</B><i></i> A metallic voice echoed from inside the coffin. "Shinobis have this terrible habit of thinking that they can do whatever they want,"<i></i> Kon added from inside the iron tomb. It was true, a shinobi has come to think of themselves as the authority. That they could have their pick of patients. They they could insert themselves into an investigation. That they are the law and the voice of the land. How often they forget that they are basically mercenaries with a consistent home base. If they betray their group, defect, fail to bring a profit what would be their fate? They would be an enemy of their peers. They would have no refuge among them, the civilians either. Always pushing people around, acting superior. Giving warnings and causing collateral damage, ruining lives as they satisfy their blood lust and need to reinforce their superior battle prowess. How often do they even give the people, these civilians they claim to serve a second thought. She was not their better, she was a spoiled little brat that knows how to mold a little bit of chakra.

There was one additional problem with her choices. Shinobis are not the only ones who can defend themselves and this box only lasts for 10 seconds.

* * * * * * * * * *

"I'm a suspect? I'm suspect? No, you and that ugly caterpillar on your lip is suspect. I've no reason to murder someone I barely know. I understand that you're only doing your job."

Diamond District Private Police Office, Inspector Tsueno Yagami flipped to a fresh page in his notebook and penned a fresh note as the irate assumed shinobi ranted. Deflecting statements made by a woman with the skillset of at least an intermediate-level shinobi. Already attempting to dispute motive. There was something unique about Sunagakure, the storm that encircled the village did more than keep people in, it also kept people out. A stranger and a shinobi such as she, already coming here to this village demonstrated a fortitude greater than what most possessed but further the fact that she came here at all. Sunagakure was not a tourist hub, the sandstorm ensured that. SUnagakure was not a rich community, Soons Haven was. There was little reason to come to Sand simply out of idle curiosity or boredom unless you had a reason. Killing a socialite seemed to be a good enough of a reason for him.

"Those are not for you," the investigator protested as Nanami snatched his notes from his hand.

"But I am also doing mine. It is obvious that your investigation is sloppy at best. Suspicious blonde child, seemingly nervous when questioned? Of course she's nervous, she's a child! Seemingly? Suspicious blonde child? Ask her for her name, fucking hell! The body's been dead for three hours? You can infer such a thing from sight alone? You didn't investigate properly! Not even a physical examination of the corpse. I ought to put your license and training into question, detective."

He tried to rip the book back from the woman's grasp but he noticed something quite curious on his index finger. It looked like a pebble. A small, almost wart-sized bit of rock. "The hell?" Yagami gasped as the stone seemed to grow in size, reaching and crawling down his hand, freezing his fingers in place. It made its way down his forearm, his wrist twisted in a strange manner as that was where it had froze. Some of the spectators gasped as the inspector appeared to be consumed or perhaps turned into stone.

"Shut up. Don't move, don't speak, don't breathe. I'm trying to think. Detective, face the other way, you're putting me off." The inspector could not even if he tried, his body already like a statue. His face twisted into a visage of fear and pain. "Arrest me for assault against a policeman. Arrest me for contempt of the law. But you can do so, after. Unless you want to fight me? I promise, I won't go down easily. And I won't kill you, oh no, but I can make it so that you spend the rest of your life in a hospital bed wishing you were."

"Fuck no," Ryuu muttered as he slide himself between Nanami and the late Miss Moto. <B>"I have no idea who the hell you think you are, barricading everyone here is a form of false imprisonment. Something I was willing to overlook because everyone here is a suspect. BUT just ebcause you can do ninja-magic does not make you the authority here and it does not give you the fucking right to treat people the crappy way that you do. You do not have to agree with what Tsueno-san had to say, but you were rude and you ASSAULTED him and you seem to think it is OK to insert yourself into an investigation because... because WHY. Because you said so. Because you are a fucking ninja."<i></i> Ryuu was not going to take any of this bullshit any longer. She could try to hurt him, make him think things are happening to him, but not every civilian is made of paper. Ryuu resisted the insult to his mind, blinking away the thoughts that tried to creep inside.

* * * * * * * * * *

"Tsk..." The former bodyguard of Lady Moto sounded. With the flick of his wrist, a kunai shot through the air between Ryuu and Nanami. His side not apparent but he seemed unconcerned. "Squabbles get us nowhere..." he uttered, his eyes watching for sudden movements and assaults on his person. Three additional kunai's emerged from between his fingers. Kimura held his hand up near his face, apparently ready to release them on a moment's notice.

"Yeah, throwing knives in a crowded room. Great plan," Itsuke announced sarcastically. His stumpy finger pointing at the trio of known shinobis: Kimura, Nanami and Saieko. "This is what they mean by despotism!"<i></i> Itsuke accused. <B>"These shinobi were going to force their way, force their agenda, take control of every situation they enter blameless in what they do!" Itsuke accused, eyes looked at them, all three of them. People in the crowd had hardened expressions. The sentiment was rarely uttered and for good reason, when a shinobi is mad, offended, fails to get their way what do they do? How do they react? They fight, they damage, they bully and they coerce. Mutterings hidden among those in the crowd echoed this for a moment, but most held their tongue.

"I do not have to answer to you," Kimua answered cooly, his eyes never even bothering to look at Sato. "Heard your son was a doctor, maybe there is a little but of 'shinobi magic' in your blood after all. Not like just a bit of education and hard work can make him into a man of value here. So get off your high horse, you are just jealous because you made a worthless shinobi." His face twitched slightly, perhaps it was a deviant smile but whatever it was it was fleeting. "Not that you ever even tried. No let the woman work." He commanded, a single kunai cocked in his fingers as if he could toss it without notice.

"STOP IT", Kimura's wife hissed as she slapped his hand down with her own. "You are making everything worse," she accused him as she captured his weapons and stuffed them into her pocket. Kimura glared at her and shrugged revealed three more. He was not backing down, but he did love her. "I have had killed men for less,"[/b] he reminded her with a cold tone.

The young heiress Moto Shigemi screamed "leave her alone!" and tried to slap Nanami. A mistake as she was assaulted with the same genjutsu that she tried to use on Ryuu and failed. It worked on Shigemi. She froze in place, her eyes wide and her hand still raised as if she would strike Nanami, but she was still... for now. Her eyes darted side to side, she could see, hear, sense but could not move.

"Days like this make me love my job..." Ryuu announced, a strange expression on his face. "Putting your kind on the same level as us makes my day worth living." Ryuu was undeterred by Kimura's knife attack or Nanami's display of might, it only seemed to increase his desire to fight back. Nanami created a pair of clones, more hands make less work or so it has been said. It would not take long for the clones to find something amiss, a strange aspect of the corpse was the fact that it was hollow.

What Happened?
  • Kon is in a box - may want to get those stats in order because we are rolling next round. He will be hitting back. List your passives and link to your stuff man.
  • Tsueno is frozen in place due to Nanami's ninjutsu Petrification.
  • Ryuu resisted Nanami's genjutsu Petrification.
  • Ryuu is going to attack Nanami next round, give me your passives and a link to your stuff as per the usual woman.
  • Kimura tossed a kunai, it hit nobody.
  • Heiress Moto Shigemi is petrified (genjutsu)
  • Clones discover that the corpse was empty.
  • Author does not stop Diachi or Yumi from leaving but in the end, departure would be up to Nanami. I will, however, consider you gone for the sake of this moderation.
 
Sai , Stood there in the center of chaos (well semi center lets be real here.) She had just put a two bit hack into a coffin, she knew the timer on the coffin. He yelled “Shinobi twatt” “That was so Classy, that even a fourth grader could come up with a better one liner then that, what do you think should I give you more time to think of a better on ah yes must be why you’re in the fuckin box . Sai rolled her eyes, she glanced over at the dude who was obviously tossing knives. Seems like everyone is throwing things might as well join them. Sai flipped the katana up like a javelin and chucked it across the hall and let it land in-between the two that were arguing. Saieko then turned back to the guy in the box his time out session might be almost up. Seeing how she didn’t have her weapon anymore, Saieko flipped out her wrist blades.

She was ready for him he wanted to chuck and jive she would grant him such a chance. Sadly this guy was fully grown and kinda on the big side but hey, all the more reason to knock him down a peg even if it was a little puny girl that would be doing the knocking. For some people they had a pregame ritual before a fight you know a set of actions, or calming of ones mind. Not this girl she just stood there counting in her head till that little bell in her head would (Ding )

All the rucus and yelling Sai wasn’t even paying attention to it, in fact it was all just white noise as one would say as Sai focused on her victim. She would start with him, then seeing how the heiress is rather frozen she would move to her next, I bet theres at least a couple thousand in here just lying around. The orphans of the Pailis need a few meals. Saieko might have been a theif but she was also did have a heart, she knew more then most what it was like to go without. Not knowing where your next meal was going to come from or even if you would have a roof over your head when it got bad out. Nor if you would be able to sleep that night for fear that somone might kidnap you while your oblivious to the world. Whatever the case Saieko , crouched and focused on the target ahead…..that would be money and possibly a few rings a necklace and some to go food . First thoe it would be this shit of a guy in the box. If one would ask sai about this guy she would simply state all Pedo’s need to die a horrible death.

ooc: Sent stuff to ya Shiroi, lets rock and roll :)
 
[col]It was all a matter of perspective, was it not?

No matter how wrong Nanami was, she believed herself in the right. Fact did not change opinion so easily, especially when emotions ran high. And, considering that the woman was used to getting her way as head doctor, she often had a nasty temper hidden under that sweet exterior. Even for a mercenary, Nanami wasn’t all too good with situations such as this, more suited to roles that had her out of the way and working in the sidelines when she was not playing the role of a healer.

trigger_zpsc65gfqzk.gif

“I was hired to watch that woman and her daughter; make sure they got out of this ordeal alive for the interest of the client. Now that she’s dead, the least I can do is figure out the how and the why. I would hate to hurt anyone, truly... that’s just not the doctor’s deal,” the woman hissed. Hand on her hip and head tilted, she smiled; “I’ll give you ten seconds to behave yourself, sonny boy. The doctor might play nice but it won’t be pretty when I get pissed. You’re not as scary as a sandworm or a fucking wannabe god.”

That was when her entire being changed. The look on her face and the tone of her voice was colder, definitely. The soft, kindly edges of her face turned cruel and harsh, especially with such simple expressions. And she was just off, like one who was experienced with death. Dealing it, Pestilence was good with that; unlike the Doctor who prevented it.

As far as Pestilence was concerned, there was only herself and the carcass and blondie who won’t get out of the way. Because, damned if she did, there’ll be a whole lot of trouble with her and so many peo- So many people. Blood, blood everywhere. Nanami cries apologies as she kills them with her bare hands, using the medical arts to spread sickness and disease instead. It’s been perverted, all of it. Wrong, so wrong. Yet, oh so right. Everything gets sick; everything dies. That was just nature.

The two medical clones make quick work of their examination, considering there was very little to do. There was only skin, barely anything else, like snake slough. Made of Nanami’s technique and chakra, they’re unaware of the change, of who’s in control of the body. “Doctor, it’s not a corpse! It’s skin shedding.”

Looking at Nanami’s clone, seeming at ease with talking to herself, Pestilence scratched her head. “Knew there was something fishy going on the moment I stepped up to the plate.” It wasn’t dead... that’s for sure. Her eyes roamed curiously towards the younger Lady of Silk, still petrified by her gaze.

  • Sorry for the wait. Yumi and Daichi can leave OOC. ICly, they're just considered faceless NPCs now. Nanami, Pestilence rather, mentions the sandworm and god because this was listed after that mission in her timeline.

The little crystalline eye buzzed about recording the disarray that came about. The images of this day perhaps forever etched in Nanami's memory. The medical assistants attempted to review the remains of Miss Moto, the strangest thing of note was when they cut into the corpse assuming that they would that it could feel crunchy like cornflakes and tough almost like dried jerky. But once they cut through the flesh, there was nothing beyond the surface. If one of them lifted the body, they would notice that her clothes has been torn from her cervical spine to her sacrum. A gaping hole could be visualized through this long slit, revealing that the entirety of her thoracic and abdominal contents were empty.

“I was hired to watch that woman and her daughter; make sure they got out of this ordeal alive for the interest of the client. Now that she’s dead, the least I can do is figure out the how and the why. I would hate to hurt anyone, truly... that’s just not the doctor’s deal,”

"I do not care who gave you what orders, but doctors don't take over investigations and they don't start attacking people because they do not have their way. YOU are the top suspect here and you have done yourself no favors bullying your way into this investigation. Barricading everyone in here. Attacking ME. Attacking Miss Moto. I'll do what you failed to do, protect the people if you are really as innocent as you suppose." Yagami protested. He was not a great shinobi or a brilliant mind, he was just a man. A man with a job and with a creed. No amount of intimidation was going to turn him around... probably. Yagami had some skill in illusions, it was by far not what one would consider a master of such things but it was enough to help him get by all these years. Hopefully it would not fail him now.

“I’ll give you ten seconds to behave yourself, sonny boy. The doctor might play nice but it won’t be pretty when I get pissed. You’re not as scary as a sandworm or a fucking wannabe god.”

"I'm not standing down," Yagami announced, his voice resolute and his brow furrowed. "You might be strong, I know you are... but that does not give you license to do whatever you want." Yagami was going to try and stop her, probably fail and die in the process, he knew this when he said what he did but he had to try. He had to try and protect everyone.

Ryuu pulled a small billy-club from his waistband. It was smaller than a toddler's forearm, not much in the line of intimidation but it was all he had and he felt confident enough it would seem. Sato let out a yell and attempted to back away as a fray became obvious. "You see, tyrants... Tyrants each and every one of these shinobi!"</B><i></i> Itsuke was far from a skilled shinobi but he did know a thing or two about ninjutsu skills from his son. He was going to record this incident, tell everyone what happened here. He looked over at the Moto heiress struggling to free herself, beads of sweat dripping down the side of her young face. He then looked over at Kimura, that smug bastard. As he did, a kunai shot through the air, in fact two. Both striking Itsuke in the head. An audible crack could be heard from not terribly far way. Kimura tsk'ed Itsuke quietly as he pulled a second pair between his fingers. Itsuke reached up to his forehead, where a pair of kunai's were lodged and felt the warm sticky blood as it rolled down the front of his face. H-He's trying to kill me!" Itsuke stammered and accused, his finger pointed at Kimura. He pulled out the pair of kunais with a shaking hand, the tips stained in blood worsening the bleed from his minor head injury in the process.

A crash could be heard from inside the iron coffin that housed Kon. His fist broke through the metallic wall. A fag clenched between his teeth, his escape was heralded by a cloud of smoke. Is it my turn?" Kon queried, a pleased expression on his face as he cracked his knuckles.

Vapor started to mingle with the air and wrap around Ryuu's limbs like twisting ivy about a lamp post. Ryuu attempted to pull his arm away, but the steam became taut extending his arm as he tried to bend it. The stream in defiance of his will. Pain surged through his body as the steam scaled his flesh, blistering where the tendrils licked. "You like to cause pain," Ryuu observed. "Well, so don't I!" He bellowed as he raised his billyclub into the air. This was going to be an actual fight or at least resemble one briefly, Nanami in the process of manipulating her shadows when Ryuu attacked, missing her twice but the third hit her solidly in a vital area. The disorienting impact failed to leave Nanami staggering but it would be effective enough in perhaps leaving a mark to later complain about.

"If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead already," Kimura replied devoid of emotion. "I can't deal with your drama any longer, nor can I deal with the recording your are probably making of this fiasco." Again, Itsuke looked over at Shigemi struggling to free herself, making sure that this perfectly recorded memory remained with him until he passed it on to someone worthwhile.

Shadowy appendages reached out for Saieko instead of Ryuu in silence. One curling around her leg, attempting to hold her fast. Another around her throat... her wrist... her waist. Holding her not quite still, but not ably to fully intervene as the Nanami forced her way into the investigation but oddly hit the wrong target. Yagami's genjutsu was working at the very least, but his heart was bounding in his chest.

A second pair of kunai's embedded themselves into Itsuke's face millimeters from the last pair, cracking the skull slightly. The banker fell to the floor in a heap, ending his recording suddenly. The last thing he was was the tip of a kunai between his eyes. "Jiro!" Mrs Kimura scolded, her mouth agape as the banker fell to the floor in a puddle of his own blood. "What is the matter with you! The matter with everyone here, accusing... acting like bullies! You're supposed to be retired!"<i></i> Jiro's wife was red in the face, obviously outraged at the incident but Jiro himself seemed unruffled and perhaps even slightly pleased with himself.

"It has been too long dear, I wish you could understand but you don't and you never will." Jiro sighed. "Shinobis are simply better, we do what we want... what we need to. We can defend our honor... make a point with our might."<i></i> Jiro shook his head, as if reminiscent. "Besides, I am curious to know what they learn about the late Miss Moto... she was a strange woman."<i></i>

"This is getting out of hand" Yagami announced. "Nobody has to like how I investigate but that does not give someone with a shinobi skillset the right to take over an investigation NOR does it make it legal to assault someone to get your way." He was going to make it impossible to make a ruckus. "I have to ask everyone to back away before someone gets hurt." He announced as he tried yet again to gain control of this situation.

Kon ran at Saieko, but Saieko is too fast. A pair of Saieko's in Kon's vision he is temporarily disoriented and attempts to grab hold of the wrong one. As the clone disappears into a vapor, the real Saieko mere feet away slides on a pair of bladed gloves and readies herself for a fight while Shigemi tries once again to pull herself free of her bindings.

Ryuu attempts to strike down Nanami once again, but she glides to the side and evades the attack easily. "Fucking cunt!" Ryuu spat.

"Oi, language," Kimura remanded. A kunai spuin from his wrist and plunged into Ryuu's midsection. Ryuu screamed out in pain as the kunai dug into him deeper as he struggled to move and fought his misty fetters. Blood stained his white buttoned shirt. "I'd hurry up madam unless you want someone to be mistakenly killed," Kimura warned.

Shigemi struggled against the illusionary force that halted her movements. Her mind having a greater fortitude than one would expect from a debutante, the imaginary stone started to crumble away in flakes that soon became pebbles before it came off in large chunks. "Well, this makes it easier," Shigemi muttered lowly as her hands twisted into an unusual pose. From one, came three more making four. There was something off about the trio, but it would be hard for most people to discern. Nanami would be able to tell the difference, it was slight. Almost impossibly small this difference, the glint and the droning buzz that did not seem to belong.

Ryuu tried to attack Nanami, the blade embedded in his body twisted with his movement causing a torrent of pain to fill his midsection. Ryuu gritted his teeth and fought through the pain but he missed Nanami utterly.

"Down Boy..." Kimura announced, looking over at the long-winded investigator as he wadded his kunai's into the palm of his hand, bending the pointed steel projectile like aluminum foil between his fingers and then flung the wad at Yagami hard. Yagami was more agile than he appear, ducking low and avoiding the attack with relative ease. The right side of Kimura's mouth dipped downward at the spectacle.

"Stop this, you are being a bully!" Mrs Kimura hissed at her husband as she moved towards the investigator. "We need to put a stop to this nonsense, violence is never the answer."<i></i>

The investigator cooled at the gaping hole where he recently stood, perhaps there was a spark of fear or uncertainty in his eyes but he never verbalized it. He tried to invade Kimura mind as he had the others, but to no avail. Meanwhile Nanami protects herself as a wall of earth and stone breaks through the once pristine floor, now pockmarked and broken. Cracks running through the gleaming marble.

Saieko slashes Kon, her blade digs into her adversary. Perhaps for a brief moment she considered attacking Nanami, but she was able to overcome this and to focus.

Ryuu went for Nanami again, but there was a wall in his way. He smashed into the wall with his billy-club. "Someone is going to get hurt," the investigator warned, his eyes focusing now on Mr. Kimura.

Again, Kimura crumpled a set of throwing knives in his hand, but this time he infused chakra into the attack and flung it a second time in the direction of the investigator. This projectile hit him squarely, shattering on impact. Chakra-laden bit of shrapnel littered the area around Yagami. His suit jacket scuffed and scant bleeding had started to discolor the space. "Are you crazy!" Yagami accused, he was still on his feet. He was stronger than the average man, in fact most of these people were but it was a long-shot to call him or those guards even with a shinobi. His eyes followed the shrapnel as it dug into Kimura's own wife. "What did you do!"

Kimura's wife let out a shrill scream and fell to the floor. She was not a durable woman and from the look on her husband's face the attack was not intentional. <B>"Mako!" Kimura yelled as he rushed to his wife's side, cradling her head in his arm. "Mako, I did not mean to! I'm sorry!" Meanwhile Ryuu continued to bash the side of the earthen wall, attempting to reach the mercenary on the other side.

Notes:
Nanami -- copy-pasting your actions 'tsk =P (RE Storm God)
Saieko -- also going to rec. that you consider using the special action "trigger" when you bind someone.
Too lazy to calculate previous round CP costs
 
[col]A grin split Pestilence's face. "You think that hurt? I'm only trying to slow you down and trying to sit your ass down, boy." The only thing stopping the horseman from an all out massacre was Nanami. Although the doctor was unaware of her other self, of the woman that was formed from an event she could not even remember, the original persona remained a nagging thing at the back of Pestilence's head. It didn't help that, in the here and now, she saw everyone as opposition, merely obstacles. But, as the woman's tone implied, the local authorities' fighting capacity were pitiful at best. That even the horseman struck true to her word, only hoping to disable them rather than do permanent damage.

Besides, all was not as it seemed.

She was distracted with the fall of Missus Kimura and Itsuke. Although it was a mere split second, it was long enough for Shigemi to break free of her petrification and for her to show her hand.

Immediately, the part that was still Nanami had sent her medical clones to the fallens' side with the intent to help. Truly help. And not bull rush through the whole scenario like she had done, in her fatigue and impatience with the days that had passed. There was no one to refuse treatment on behalf of the banker, so one clone had it easy. But the other, on approaching the bodyguard's wife, held her hands up in a non threatening gesture. "I can help."

Somewhere, in the background of their head, Nanami was instructing her clones the best she could. But, at the forefront, Pestilence's grin widened further and she cackled: "Ah, I see how it is." The buzzing, buggy clones and the shedding! To describe Lady Moto's carcass like a snake's shedding was not all that correct. In fact, it was more like a cocoon, was it not?

Her eyes pierced into the woman, deadly, as if she could cut her up through sight alone. She peeled away at very secret, scrutinizing, analyzing with that quick brain of hers. With a hum, and even if she were under the assault of attack, she recited a haiku:

"Hidden in plain sight,
A gray moth on gray tree bark,
Waits for night to fall."

"You're not a graceful butterfly; you're a silk moth. Isn't that right, Lady Shigemi? Or is that not your real name? What is it? Sakura? Perhaps even Lady Sumireguesa? How many times, I wonder, have you shed your cocoon to escape Death?" Pestilence wasn't happy at all. All would join Death, sooner or later. And to flee from it with whatever methods this woman had been using was wrong.

Saieko , loved the adrealine that came with the release of one fighting. Her endorphin's started kicking in and the mungo came out of his box. His initial reaction was to attack the first thing he saw. As that happened Sai immediately caused the guy to attack her other self that she created. Sai then released her lotus flower, Causing several hits but it didnt do enough damage to give him the idea to stop he then went on the offensive.

Her next actions would be a bit more calculated since , This fight rather caught her off guard. She glanced over to the older shinobi she was holding her own a bit better then her but what could you expect since she had been doing this longer then Sai. This guy took advantage of the glance and the memntary laps of reason and focus to the extreme Smacking her around a few times and the punches sent her realing, Her head was spinning but she got back up, losing focus that was a mistake on her part, that wouldn't happen again. Over the years her teacher put her through all types of pain and torture. His words rang in her head his fierce face filled her emotions him screaming GET UP, Her face stung her head was spinning but he would not get another combo off like that again.



Sai, really hated being forced to fight but she literally had no other option here since the place was closed off and the guards went after her, immediately, all for prodding a body with a sword to check for blood. There was a lot of ruckus going on around them apprently not just her fight but the two others were going on one of them kinda ended tragically as a innocent bystander was hit by something and literally dropped dead. Sai's eyes flashed back to the guard. He was about to try to go on the offensive.
