The Dark Melody Saga, Part 1 [Event]

[Nara Raian]

Raian watched as his and his allies’ attacks seems to strike home, the resulting impact producing a variety of effects as they hit they unknown targets. Well, until the light began illuminating, revealing them to be quit non-human. Plant spirits? Now…this was rather unexpected, but not disappointing in the slightest. Shaking his hands as the sparks left them, he began moving, his chakra molding around the air as he tried to follow up his assault, however it appeared he had choice the wrong target, the gravity assault missing the fog creature, leaving him open to assault as he began moving once more to distance himself.

As he moved, the light showed bright, his eyes passing a glance at the clients, pausing a moment as the seemed to shift from focus. Whoever was utilizing this jutsu, he’d make sure to buy them lunch when this was all over. So, focus had they been on the potential threats their clients had warned them about, they hadn’t even considered that these farmers were less than truthful about their intentions. They could have even had a hand in the previous group incident. For name, the appeared harmless, but keeping another eye on them might be the best alternative as he focused on the fight.

Kneeling he moved through his hand signs quickly, the beast of nature branches shooting past the place where his head had been moments ago. Finishing the jutsu, he began gathering the chakra armor, his form beginning to blend in with the background as he took a moment to gather his thoughts on the current matter. Two threats, with the possibility of the two “fake civilians” either aiding should the tide turn or fleeing if matters got worst. The fog seemed to be the weaker one, but also the one with the most coverage, providing the large creature more chances are wrecking there alright unorganized position. Splitting the focus on either one of them, allowed the other one to attack unopposed, while focus on both weakened the assault, but allow for both threats to dealt with simultaneously.

Pausing for a moment, he reviews the actions of his allies, thinking of the best use of his skills in this assault, using another chakra intensive attack like the cannon might not be the best choice for a prolonged combat. However, he if could stop the wooden creatures’ moments for a few moments, if could allow for a few moments of breathing room for his team to plan for the following seconds. There was also the odd couple, he needed to keep his Crystal eye on them, just in case anything unexpected happened.

The lines of his thoughts coming together, his hands began moving as he began to test the waters once more, hopefully a bit more successful in this pursuit.

[Mishiku]

The battle had begun and Mishiku didn’t know what to make of the situation at all and everything had happened too fast for his brain to comprehend what exactly was going on. He originally was brought here to help save a civilian’s daughter and parents from some monster that lingered in the forest but to his bewilderment the farmers looked as if they were part of the problem or a part of this paranormal activity that he had been experiencing. Regardless, he had to focus on how exactly he would put an end to these new foes and get back to prepping for his first ANBU mission which was tomorrow!

“Well this will definitely be good practice…..haven’t done a real battle in awhile.” Mishiku thought to himself as he swiftly created 2 clones of himself and slapped two explosive notes to the back of them. He had no intention of fighting in close proximity to either the large plant monster or enter the menacing mist but he would send his clones in for a glorious death by explosion! The clones immediately went on the offensive, blasting the mysterious fog monster with lightning jutsus, Mishiku added onto the onslaught by spraying the battlefield with his Scalding Ash Cloud jutsu that looked as if it critically hurt the two monsters. The other shinobi were doing well too, it looked overall that they had the upper hand so far in the fight and with the plan that Mishiku had, they would secure the win and save the farmers.

[Seijin]

Information overload . . . that's what Musashi felt. Though he had "fused" with many different sort of persons and beings before, never had he actually done so with an Uchiha. In a word, it was exhilarating, but also in the heat of battle, it was the most vomit inducing thing that he'd ever witnessed. The Uchiha kid asked what they ought to do, and frankly, Musashi wasn't exactly sure himself. They could pursue that lead, but then they'd be potentially opening themselves to further attack from the tree and the fog. "We probably need to get a good consensus with the team about this. That searchlight on the farmer and his wife . . . it helped but we're still no closer to the truth of the matter. If this is an ambush then they just picked the wrong team." Mentally smirking, Musashi summoned his twin Tsukumogami contracts, Kin and Gin.

Appearing as clones of him, they looked to the Nara and other Uchiha , bowed to them, and then forcefully fused with them, bringing themselves, the two, and then Musashi and Ryuichi. It was cramped, it was messy, and ultimately it sucked but it was the only way to equally distribute his power and allow him to play the role of the commander instead of taking a back seat to things. With his contracts on the field, he could do a lot more to give them the extra umph that the party would need to end the threat. Speaking to all three, Musashi would be brief and to the point. "This is 126 . . . I'll focus on the defense, you all focus on the offense. We need to lock down this entire area, I don't so much as want a bumblebee escaping from it!" Did the farmer and his wife know that their illusion was slowly being undone? Were any of them actually seeing what they thought that they saw? Only time would tell, but time was something that could be manipulated all the same.



OOC: Soul Regalia with two Tsukumogami used on Mishiku and Raian (chosen at random). They both get +1 to their stats and access to Medical, Slashing and Photon (let's keep it extra simple and just say that you get access to the whole tables for this event). They may choose Weapon, Item or Accessory when it's next their turn . . . (yeah I'm late Q_Q)

[Daigo]

In the dead of night as the battle raged onward, a figure was flung an few feet back by an wooden tendril. His landing was gracious however thanks to an log taking the brunt of the hit. A few rolls and an tumble then he managed to roll onto his feet while planting the edge of his sword into the ground to stop himself. He slowed inhaled then exhaled to calm his mind. In the midst of chaos, an kaguya’s mind as often rumored to be most calm. With a few hand signs, Daigo made sure to record everything that would transpire this night. Another wooden tendril found it’s way along Daigo’s backside and the shinobi was flung an few feet once more. He casted a crystal eye jutsu to get the lay of the land from an bird’s eye view, mostly watching his team fight admirably then he casted a search light jutsu to find the enemy.

This is where things took an strange turn. The light shined all around the battlefield and on a passing glance, Daigo noticed that the farmer and his wife that he was so concerned about appeared hazy or blurry. They appeared as if they were apart of some visual genjutsu that was slowly being resisted. Daigo could believe what he was witnessing. Now an snap decision had to be made and there was little time to decide. He could contemplated assisting his team with medical, offensive, or defensive support, but there was also the farmers which needed to be investigated. He wanted to correctly confer with his team and their leader about the proper procedure in which to handle their situation. The idea struck him as hard was the newest wooden tendril behind him. Flying threw the air once more, Daigo created an clone or two to play the decoy while he investigated and help his team.

WC: + 314 is 1,134 in Total.

Spoiler

Fog Subtype
Monsters with the Fog subtype take -20% damage from Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, except B+ rank attacks of the wind element, and any non-genjutsu damage is dealt to the user's CP pool rather than HP Pool. They are immune to suppression, bleed, and called shots.
- Critical hits become normal hits.
- Cannot Stealth
- Spiritual damage redirected to the Fog Subtype’s CP pool is non recoverable as how it normally is with hp.
- AoE attacks may target creature multiple times for a bonus +2 to hit and +15% damage for each target usage beyond the first.
Example: So say an attack could target 3 creatures at +0 for 100 damage. If the Fog subtype is targeted once, it remains +0/100 damage. If instead of attacking another monster a target opportunity may be sacrificed to grant the attack against the Fog Subtype +2 accuracy for 115 damage. If you use all three target opportunities on the Fog Subtype the attack gets +4 to hit and deals 130 damage. Both of these bonuses are still subject to caps.

-All gain an additional 5ap “Bonus Round” in addition to their next round due to the Mod deeming this an excellent use of RP.

2s~Mishiku uses Hypnotic Suggestion to have the Treant remain motionless! (Crit)
-This was a Natural 20 which normally would add certain effects but Hypnotic Suggestion isn’t a typical genjutsu either. For the sake of –THIS- event and until we can get a rulling in Bmodland, the Treant will be “motionless” for 3ap (which for it will be 3seconds)
2s~Gin uses Living Artifact on Raian!
- Metabolic Stimulant
2s~Treant uses Ingrain!

Round Note(s):
-To make it easier on me, if at all possible, link to the jutsu in use and clearly state how much AP you’re working with/how much ap something cost.

-Remember, when you have Duelist and attack a different person/entity than what you originally called Duelist on, you lose Duelist if that person/entity isn’t KO’d/dead, etc.

-When choosing to attack multiple targets, please clearly state the split or else I’ll be forced to go with the first requested target unless a jutsu clearly states that only X number of hits can affect a target.

-Mishiku, you have to explicitly state when you want Raijins Vengeance to strike or else it won’t be modded correctly, if at all, in a true PvP.

- Concerning the Bonus Round AP, it is 5 . . . by itself. It should -NOT- be combined with your normal AP. They are separate pools of AP.

-Somebody recently asked how long it took me to do this particular mod. Today, this round took me 5 hours, if anybody cares to know, lol.

-DM/PM me with any questions.

 

[Byakko Yukiin]

"This isn't a real battle, this is poorly organized reconnaissance..." Yukiin muttered indignantly, also catching the remark about wanting to keep the area confined but uncertain if the speaker really understood what that would mean on his end. It would be wiser to see what his associates had in their arsenal, if he had to press the issue and use his mirrors then things would get messier much more quickly. He'd thus far avoided injury thanks to the intervention of his allies and all parties were, near as he could tell, unharmed but poisons and Genjutsu were subjects that weren't always easy to discern. He would have to give everyone a proper examination, to the best of his abilities, once things calmed down. For now, he had a mission to see to completion and that mission did not involve killing potential information.

"If you can understand what I'm saying then listen carefully, you're in a poor state and it would be in your best interests to surrender yourselves into the custody and care of Kumogakure; I can promise at the very least to cure the multiple poisons coursing through your vascular system and render other medical care. If you choose to ignore me or you choose to continue on in this high-risk activity then I have to assume you're not sentient or not in control of yourself and in those cases you're not safe to leave alive. I won't repeat myself and will take any further aggression towards myself or my companions as a failure to accept."

Yukiin's tone altered, slipping something into his words much like an interwoven venom, a virulent braid of intention that spoke of something vicious and coiled in the shinobi's blood, more sound that carried thought than words that conveyed meaning, as he made his declaration as clear as the ice. "Decide to comply or decide to be dead."

Under the effects of the truth serum there was no room for misunderstanding or deceit, that was a tool only in his hands. As a show of good faith, however, he made no further aggressive acts as he, his weapons, and his clone halted themselves. He would divert his efforts towards potential response to a violent counter-attack, as he exposed himself to such a thing, but if they mistook him for weak or unaware of the dangers of his choice of action then they would be greatly underestimating him. A medical shinobi sought the solutions which accomplished the missions set before them and ensured the greatest safety and least damage to Kumogakure, most especially to its shinobi, and thus Yukiin acted in this role, his role.

Still, he could be outplayed. If these things were merely figments, Genjutsu of one sort or another, but he suspected eliminating them would cancel the effect regardless. With his limited information they appeared to be as flesh and blood as he was, albeit not belonging on this plane, so he anticipated that he may have been in the process of being deluded or distracted but couldn't afford to focus on two wildly divergent ideas. Thankfully since he was withdrawing, momentarily, from active combat he could give the other option some attention and conjured out a lantern to observe things with added clarity.

Shinobi, as all weapons of war, were not always drawn, sometimes a weapon at rest was sufficient.

[Otani Ryuichi]

​

Ryuichi took a deep breath and took a step back for just a moment to get a grasp on his thoughts. '126. Don't go looking through my head for a moment, okay?' he casually thought to his fused partner, not knowing the extent of the mental link that they shared at the moment. He followed his statement by closing his eyes, and focusing...His inner mind stood perfectly still, without a single thought drifting through his head. Instead he focused intently on his drive...

Right now there was a beast that needed killing, and a mystery that needed solved. In a situation like this he knew he had to give it his all in order to bring this threat down. With one more deep breath a massive amount of chakra converged into his eyes, and his inner mind began to shake with memories of his training and determination to move on, all of them within a fraction of a second before his eyelids shot open to reveal that his sharingan were both missing their tomoe. Instead a black pattern flew across his heterochromatic eyes, and blood ran from his lower eyelids to reveal.... "Mangekyo!" He said, not wasting a second to jump forward.

He flew through several handseals, and took the precious few seconds before it was ready to look over the treant. He was able to scour every split in it's wood, every result from their attacks, and the chakra that may escape it's body when attacking all within moments. He then dug into his mind once more to try and communicate with the other kumo nin in a way almost entirely unlike his previous demeanor, and behavior. '126. I can only control these eyes for about a minute and a half. We need to find an opening, and the enemy who caused that sound jutsu earlier....sir.' With that he slapped his palms together and allowed burning hot chakra to build in his hands.

With another brief moment he held them out, and a huge wave of searing hot aura shot from his palms to assault the treant, leaving several small scorch marks across it's form. Ryu's unmatched visual prowess then let him completely exclude the treant from his focus to glance throughout the fog. This could cause problems. With such a think cover there could be many more enemies hiding, and they still don't know who the hell caused that sound before. Luckily, Ryu had just the plan.

Stepping back he went through several more handseals and allowed wind chakra to course through him. He slid his mask to the side slightly to hold his chakra-infused fist against it, and blew....yet despite the massive gust of wind that was strong enough to make nearby trees rustle in one direction, the fog didn't budge. 'This is really gonna get out of hand....' he thought as his clones made a new round of countless fireballs. 'plans plans plans....got it!' he thought, preparing himself for another

assault. He had no time to waste with his chakra being drained like this. His still crimson sharingan eye rotate 90 degrees to the right to signal that he had placed both the treant, and whatever else was in that fog under a genjutsu that could help him get closer with little risk. Now he had more to do, and had to find a way to deal with the mist after the tree guy was down for the count...

'126. I can only control these eyes for about a minute and a half. We need to find an opening, and the enemy who caused that sound jutsu earlier....sir.'

. . .

Musashi wanted to face palm so hard. What kind of fail boat Uchiha had he found himself partnered with? Even worse, the kid was calling out his techniques. Nobody with any clear idea what the word "shinobi" stood for ever did that. "Is there a particular reason that you say your jutsu out loud? Are you a witch of some sort, muttering an incantation?" If he could shook his head, he would have but instead he decided to be a nice guy instead of a total jerk to the kid that was young enough to be his own child. "Never mind that talking bit . . . about that sound . . . no idea honestly, but that Farmer couple is weird and I don't like it. It seems like we have the tree thingie on the ropes. How about we just go ahead and-" In mid statement, suddenly both he, Ryuichi and probably about everyone else on the battlefield was mentally invaded by a thought more powerful than their own. Apparently the eager beaver puppet dude had made first contact.

"Decide to comply or decide to be dead? Child . . . you do not know what sort of forces that you deal with! Bend the knee to our Queen and King or it will be you who will die!!!"


As if emanating from the fog itself, the odd weather phenomena grew larger and more imposing. Though the words seemed to be heard audibly, it more came across that each word was conveyed with a picture. Pictures of other creatures, other monsters, another Kingdom totally separate yet equally as fearsome as anything that Kumo could muster up. Yukiin had attempted the "Hail Mary" and had come up woefully short. Apparently playing democracy with a monster just wasn't in the cards. Before anyone could react, the fog creature reached out with tendrils barely corporeal and grabbed a hold of Yukiin, breaking through his seemingly pitiful attempt to even provide a barrier of cover, binding him in place and causing him to lose his hold on chakra. Lifting him high into the air, the fog creature swung him around to and fro and threw him towards the farmhouse.

"S#@t! What in the hell was he doing? We need to get the heck out of here dude, let's grab and go! He was our freaking medic!" Frantic to keep the team safe, Musashi began to relay the same command to Kin and Gin. There simply was no way that they were going to defeat these two creatures today and without further information, they were only going to be an easy slaughter. Hadn't Daigo helped them to gain enough intel on the creatures? Surely he'd also caught other key details about just what they were up against. Even though it cost him, wasn't even Yukiin able to prove that the creatures were susceptible to certain key poisons? Even if brutal the creature spoke a truth that weren't fully able to comprehend. By venturing on this supposed easy mission, Kumo had accidentally stumbled into a war against royals who weren't keen on peaceful negotiations. If they died, there'd simply be no warning for Kumo and that was the only thing worth sacrificing life and limb for.

OOC #1: I actually rolled to see what would happen concerning Yukiin going the peaceful route. That being said, he may post again with half of his normal AP due to being bound with chakra and thrown towards the farmhouse.

[Mishiku]

Fusion


“What the hell!” Mishiku said as some being began to fuse with him without any warning, he attempted to fight the thing off but it was no use as the being had completely fused with Mishiku’s body. Suddenly a burst of chakra and strength flowed through his body, he felt as if he had been reborn into a completely different person, the feeling was indescribable, he felt with this new found strength he had the power to take on both of the monsters with ease. Mishiku looked at his hands and with the help of his sharingan he noticed small photon like particles coursing throughout his body.

“Alright!” Mishiku said as he tensed his fist and began to increase his chakra to heights he never thought was possible, the photon like particles began to exit Mishiku’s body, the temperature started to rise and his chakra began pouring out of his body. His personality had changed significantly from the fusion, he was thrilled by being in the heat of battle and excited with the challenge of facing off against powerful opponents. Mishiku created a sphere of white light that was the size of a bottle and tossed it over to the two monsters, a burst of bright light erupted from the sphere blinding both the monsters. His clones burst into action, darting towards the large tree monster, dodging it’s large blind steps in an attempt to ward off any attackers trying to take advantage of it’s temporary blindness. The treant soon began to regain it’s eyesight and vaguely saw the clones rushing towards it, the treant cocked it’s massive arm and shot it towards the clones, before it was too late Mishiku used his sharingan and mentally controlled the monster, the monster froze midway through its attack and stood still as a statue. Mishiku swiftly made handseals and suddenly dark clouds began to form around the battlefield, Mishiku raised his hand to the sky and pointed it to the two monsters, in the blink of an eye a massive bolt of lightning fell upon the two monsters, the treant howled in pain as parts of its body were obliterated.

Mishiku smiled, he knew the monster didn’t have much strength left and that victory was assured for the team. “I’m going to turn your ass into firewood by the time I’m done with you!" Mishiku shouted, still drunk with the power he obtained through the fusion with the being. Suddenly as if the monsters responded directly to Mishiku’s threat a voice boomed through the mist,

“Child . . . you do not know what sort of forces that you deal with! Bend the knee to our Queen and King or it will be you who will die!!!"

Out of nowhere the mist formed some sort of ghostlike arm that shot into the forest, grabbed one of Mishiku’s teammates and threw him into the farmer’s house. “Now it’s getting fun!” Mishiku yelled as he geared himself up for another round of battle but suddenly his team leader's voice boomed inside his head, telling the whole team to retreat and that they were unprepared for this battle.

“Hmph... Why do you have to ruin my fun?” Mishiku said, disappointed from the command that the leader had given out. Technically the man wasn’t even Mishiku’s leader as he really wasn’t part of this team. Mishiku contemplated on disregarding the man’s command and felt the intense urge to want to continue the battle but deep down he knew that it was best to inform the village of what they encountered, not to mention inform his ANBU captain. “Alright fine, I’ll cover your escape while you guys get back to the village.” Mishiku yelled out while forming quickly forming a set of handseals. He looked back to the monsters and smiled, still resisting the urge to want to finish the battle they started.

“Your king and queen better bring your A game if they think they can contend with us.”

[Nara Raian]

Raian frowned as his attempt to track the farmers couple was met with failure. That was not a good sign, even with his allies shedding light on the strange individuals, if they could make more sense of what was going, they would be in trouble should the two get tired of simply watching. Lost in his thoughts, he barely registered the re-appearance of 126, glancing at him for a second before jerking backwards as 126 forced a connection with him.

Having another entity forcing a fusion on the shinobi was not the most pleasant feeling. As a chimera, his body was already partial filled with a secondary bloodline and while this sudden fusion contained no pain, having something else apart of his body was not an ideal feeling to the Nara. Taking a single step back, he felt the pinch of something coursing through his veins before a surging burst of energy flowed through him. Well, this was something he could get use too. Feeling the lighting align with his hands he looked at the beast, his calm smile revealing a dangerous light under his mask. Feeling the voice of 126 speak into his head, the shinobi simply nodded before releasing his assault, the lighting striking the Dryad, before the blast from a second of clones covered the spirit in flames.

His heart in his ears he watches for his moment, the Treant approach coming closer with each massive step. With a breathing he focused his hands on the creature, the oppressive force of gravity pausing the creature, making the smile on the Nara face wider. At least it would hand the creatures wooden tendrils not continued to move, a marble texture beginning to pour from its wounds. Bending his knee, even felt his connection with his shadows expand, his own tendrils strike forward, a few missing but some clearly making their mark.

In his excitement of the assault, it appears the Treant began to move in full force, the being massive trunks tossing a glowing mass towards the Nara. Branching himself, the suddenly stop of the material prior to impact gave him a minute’s pause before he began backing up, once again putting distance with himself and the creatures. That was foolish, so caught up in the assault, he was making mistakes. Whatever was injected in the Nara was making his caution lower itself. The Nara growled, the feeling of wishing to strike a damaging of blow, still making his blood howl.


"Decide to comply or decide to be dead? Child . . . you do not know what sort of forces that you deal with! Bend the knee to our Queen and King or it will be you who will die!!!"

And in an instant, he felt his priorities do a 180. The world shifted around them, and images of even more dangerous beings flashed in the skies. They had been under the impression that it was a single set of spirits, but a kingdom of them? This ANBU within him snapped the blood-lust out of him for a moment, watching as the fog creature struck forward with a speed it had not displayed earlier. He and his allies barely had a change to react as their lone medical found himself soaring through the air and towards the farmers house.

"S#@t! What in the hell was he doing? We need to get the heck out of here dude, let's grab and go! He was our freaking medic!"

Feeling the frenzies words past through them, Raian gritted his teeth as he agreed. They had already been ambushed and caught with their pants down in the first encounter, and even with the damage there were displaying again the creatures, it was becoming clear that they need to get back the lost advantage. Looking toward Daigo, he spoke even, has he felt the energy from 126 connection begin to form with him.

“Decay! We’re pulling out, get the medic and scatter!”

Shouting the words, his hands began moving as he shifted his plans once more, the knowledge of additional abilities dancing amount his thoughts as he begins to prep for the departure.

[Daigo]

As stressful and dire as the situation appeared, Daigo found himself at peace. Despite his attempts at appearing to be an better person than he actually was, he was an slave to his inner nature. The battle, the carnage being inflicted on the opposing monsters brought him an ounce of joy. This was the way of the kaguya. In fact his nature was only subsided by his cautious and inquisitive nature. He raised his bone blade, still not dripping with the enemy’s blood or sap, and asked a simplistic question that surely was on everyone’s mind.

“Before any more of those wooden tendrils whip me like I stole something, I have questions. What in Raiden’s name is going on here? What the hell is this all about?”, he asked the farmers. He doubted that he might get an answer. But he asked anyway, for the sake of the snapshot he was taking. Stabbing his bone sword into the ground and watching it disintegrate; he conjured shadow servants to relay information between his team and himself. After tonight, Daigo would never again forget his radio at home. He learned of recent events like the fusion of human and spirit, their spiritual nature, their mental link with certain members of the team, and the captain’s orders to go on the offensive and lock down the area. Like an good mempo, he followed his orders. The interrogation would have to wait. He charged off towards the battle at high speed. The sweat from his brow wrapping around his head as the wind and debris washed over his face.

“I doubt they might have told me anything anyway. So what do we know now. Clearly this is an set up. The clients lied to us”, he thought with excitement. Most of his time was spent poorly trying to play detective while his comrades did the heavy lifting, but now things had changed. A full on assault was ordered and he had every intention of letting loose. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out ninja wire and chakra bombs. Mercury poison covered walls were used and sinkholes managed to help trap the beast.

“Decide to comply or decide to be dead? Child . . . you do not know what sort of forces that you deal with! Bend the knee to our Queen and King or it will be you who will die!!!” the creature said. Daigo and presumably his team were then bombarded with images of other creatures and kingdoms. Then an sneak attack on their only medic was performed.

“S#@t! What in the hell was he doing? We need to get the heck out of here dude, let's grab and go! He was our freaking medic!” he heard someone else say. Daigo was a medic years ago, Having a fondness for the medical branch, he chose to take that attack on Yukin personally.

Meanwhile from his crystal eye in the sky, Daigo witnessed everything; every action, every reaction, every jutsu, every trap that was prepared; everything. And yet he was not prepared for what came next. It never crossed his mind that the opponents his team were facing were sentient beings. He privately speculated an powerful genjutsu, or spirits angered because someone built an farmhouse on their land, but never did he even consider that the beings were organized nor that they had an hierarchy.

A final order was issued to Daigo and though he was not eager to follow it, he would. Truthfully, he believed that if every coordinated their attacks, they might have defeated at least one of the monsters much sooner. However he also knew it was the right call to regroup and plan for an better assault. He ran over to his comrade and performed an medical jutsu to help him, then he would prepare to leave.

[Byakko Yukiin]

The situation had been radically altered with the addition of his injury, bones buckling under the weight of the construction that he'd half hoped, careening through the air like some sort of not-bird, was not built up to code and will crumble like balsa wood. In this case, the balsa wood was him and the building had not only been properly built but in his mind seemed to have been built for the express purpose of causing him pain. Whatever had happened, the power surge was unexpected and having either of these things punch through his defense so easily left him reeling in a mental sense, as well as a physical one. Shutting down his chakra network prevented him from shielding himself as one would normally do, the endurance of a shinobi was largely chakra based after all, so that was the most dangerous part about it. How did it do that? Could it do it again? Was its power always on that scale or was it a one time thing?

There were still questions and he still needed answers. Peeling himself off of the ground, strings of chakra erupting from an unbroken hand to snap the bones and muscles of the other back into swift position, Yukiin could only think that if Osuteno hadn't been delaying him so long he'd have already been beyond feeling any of this. Pain was a human concern and it was one he didn't appreciate dealing with, it didn't seem to bother them either since the poison wasn't shutting them down yet...but maybe that was only a matter of time, one of them clearly worked. As far he knew, they were both monsters-in-training, compared to the visages that had been pushed onto his mind like a molding press they seemed small, weak, insignificant...but they were important for information. That was what mattered here, they could break his bones another dozen times and he'd smile at the end if it was more data.

Kumogakure thrived whether or not he was ground to a paste and if they'd misjudged their power then they were all at risk, it would be difficult to escape if they were capable of doing that sort of assault repeatedly. No, he needed to know...they all needed to know and they also needed to get out of the area if that wasn't a fluke.

His pride had also been wounded and that had a unique effect, chakra pulsing like a beast's hot blood as his flushed face and exposed teeth were not signs of injury in a physical sense. His puppets were recalled in a swift throw of his hand, resealing them in their scrolls as his claws slid into view. Yukiin was fully intent to continue his reconnaissance' and split them to ribbons, exactly as promised.

"I hope you can do that twice twig..."

The application of medical chakra to his system sent another surge of pain through him. The mending of flesh was an unpleasant experience, especially at an accelerated rate, and it had been quite a while since he'd endured this level of bodily damage and even longer since he'd treated it a non-manual fashion. The call for retreat bounced through his ears like a hail of bullets through his instincts, the conflict being evident on his face even more so than the pain of his flesh.

It was an order, whether he meant it that way or not, and he wasn't in charge.

He wasn't strong enough to give orders...clearly.

A rush of cold air came up through his lungs and he exhaled it slowly, picking himself up as his natural weapons sheathed themselves slowly, rational mind making the demand of obedience louder than the instinct to eliminate these enemies before him and ensure that Kumogakure had less threats to worry about and more information to fight against them...although these were convenient excuses, he simply wanted to maim them in return.

"Retreat order acknowledged." The puppeteer called out, gritting his teeth as he looked back out at the two beasts. Wherever they went next? He'd find them. He'd kill them. He was a man of his word and he gave them their choice, the next time he had to endure the labor of witnesses their disgusting forms he'd be scattering them to the winds. But for now...he followed his command, taking himself from the battlefield.

Concluding RP:

"Timbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!" Musashi muttered within Ryuichi's mind as they began to turn and exit quickly. It was messy, it was far from the sort of display that one would expect from shinobi of Kumo, but lives were possibly at stake and as they ran, Daigo began to bring up the rear with Yukiin in tow and a forest of bones sprouting from the earth around them. As one threatened to pierce even Ryuichi, Musashi released the boy from the hold of the Soul Regalia technique and appeared behind him as he hit the ground with his palms outstretched on the earth. Releasing chakra into the ground, the bones that normally would have targeted even the Kumogakurian shinobi instead morphed into a protective hallway of sorts around them as the party continued to run.

As they full vacated the farm, the Dryad's Breath that Musashi was sure that they'd destroyed slowly crawled towards them before opting to go and protect the farmer and his wife from the ivory onslaught. Though it was just a passing glance, Musashi could have sworn that the haze that was around the farmer and his wife dropped just long enough for him to see that the wife looked strangely like Yuii. Was he just seeing things? Around him the rest of the party began to pass him as he shook his head and ran faster. Somebody had probably managed to capture a snapshot and that would simply have to do for now. Clicking on his headset, he gave the final mission orders to the team. "Good job everyone, we all made it out safe but we're not out of danger yet. Rendevouz at the backup midway point. I don't want them to know how we got here. 126, out!"

Rewards:

[Mishiku]

Becoming His Own Man


Mishiku landed the last blow to the tree monster that sent it to tree hell, the monster howled in pain as the flames from Mishiku’s fire jutsu engulfed its large body and burned the tree monster to a crisp. Suddenly, Mishiku could feel the entity that fused with him leave his body and with it the immense power that the fusion gave him. “What? No!” Mishiku said as the last bit of immense power left his body. One of the other shinobi slammed his hand on the ground and instantly large boney spikes erupted from the ground and covered the air, Mishiku’s eyes widen and instinctively jumped out of the way and desperately dodged the spikes that were intended to cover the team’s escape. “What the hell kind of jutsu was that?” Mishiku said as he jumped into the woods and began following the team back to the village. Everything had happened so fast and he couldn’t really explain what he had just killed, “A monster? No, couldn’t be.” Mishiku thought to himself as he followed the group back to the village to report what they had just witnessed and fought.


This situation did bring a revelation to Mishiku though, he had joined the ANBU corps only because of it was “required” of him to do so because of his father and brothers who were in the corps as well but deep down that wasn’t what Mishiku was interested in. Sure, there were some aspects of the crops that he liked but those were few and far between. There was some chatter that the Main Branch corps completely revamped their recruiting and new divisions were being introduced. “After this ANBU mission that is coming up, I’ll follow my own path,” Mishiku said, He had made up his mind, he would become his own shinobi regardless of what his father or brothers would think of him. Mishiku was always interested in the espionage aspect of the ANBU even though that aspect of the corps was gradually declining, maybe one of the main branch divisions had something like that. Regardless, these new creatures were a threat to the village and they needed to get all the information they could about them to launch an effective counter attack in case they made through on their threat.

[Officially leaving ANBU and joining KSIS Main Branch.]
