[Hōzuki Kyōka]

We are violence Kyouka wasn't very fond of Yuga no Shima - or Yugajima, as she liked to call it. She found the people there too arrogant for their own good, thinking they could live an independent life from the rest of Mizu no Kuni. She also thought they were a bit looney, thinking an octopus-looking sea monstear was some sort of god. "Idiots." she would think, but notwithstanding her dislike for the place, she found herself going there, once again in the company of the Mizukage. She was starting to think that, despite his cold and collected behaviour, Toru was somewhat appreciative of her work and efforts. Maybe because she was one of the strongest and most reliable in the village? Or maybe because the others were too unreliable, which was almost ironic, considering her true self, but for now, making his reign as Daimyou and Mizukage aligned with her current interests, and she wanted to make the Mist great again, one way or the other. Rumor said that their stupid oracle had pissed off some strong people, and they were thirsting for theirhead. Well, Kyouka would love to see the bastard skinned alive, but again, it would be in their best interest to save them. Their mission? To go to Yugajima and investigate the rumors, protect the oracle from any harm, and destroy the potential enemy, thus improving the relationship between the island and the village, pushing them to rely on the village and support it financially as well. She had to admit, coming to the aid of those who shit on the village so often was a bold decision, but so far it had been paying off. She didn't travel with Toru this time, she was supposed to meet him by the harbour on Yugajima, and since she could just travel through the ocean thanks to her Hijutsu, she did just that, arriving at the harbour a little earlier than her companion. Instead of emerging from the water, she decided to just chill in there, while she waited for the sight of the Mizukage; she wasn't looking forward interacting with those lunatics just yet. and this is hell Kaguya Toru 370 words A-Rank Mission

Toru had no feelings about where the two were traveling, and did not think that the rumors of a giant octopus in the center lake were totally bogus. He liked the idea of there being mythical animals all around them, though he was skeptical in some regard, there was a giant beast in him so he couldn't be too skeptical. There demonic beings all around them, living among them in some cases - like himself - and so he wasn't one to dismiss the idea entirely. But, that was neithere here nor there. The people of this area were quite isolationist, Toru didn't agree with it, and he wanted to be certain that they loved Kirigakure no Sato... Like the rest of the country, slowly falling into place.

A smaller Suiryu Butai ship arrived, one of the navy, with Toru on it. Once they docked, he would hop off and very swiftly find Kyoka. Glancing to her briefly, he didn't greet her. He was an all-business type of person, and frankly, this was an all-business type of situation. They had to make sure they protected that beloved oracle from whoever was coming.

The sun was shining, not all of Mizu no Kuni was all gloom and doom after all. Though many seemed to believe that was in fact the case.

"Let's go." He would state and begin walking down the harbor towards the center of town, and up the staircases built into the large seaside cliffs, where the oracle resided in a big pantheon type structure.

"W-WHERE ARE THESE SHINOBI!"

The oracle had been on edge ever since they found out that they were a target of some very powerful people they gave a reading to about a week ago. Per usual, a request was sent in to the village of Kirigakure to send some help over to protect them from the people he suspected might be after them. His readings were absolute, but for whatever reason they weren't happy with the results they were given and was looking to take it out on them.

Oddly enough, the part that pissed them off was something he couldn't account for in his reading because it had nothing to do with the person he was doing the reading for. Regardless, it lead to an aftermath that he did not see and now they wanted him dead. He was given word that they were supposed to arrive today, but between having to account for all the time it took to get the word out and them getting here was nothing but stress.

At any point he could have been assassinated, but fortunately for him they had not reached him yet. "Sir, there here!" Out of instinct the oracle ran behind his desk and begin quivering in fear. On the outside of the building Toru and Kyoka would be greeted by some of the Oracles personnel and would quickly be let in. Upon their entrance into the building and their eventual arrival to his office they would be met with the feeling of the ground shaking and whimpering sounds.

"H-HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S NOT THEM?!"

"Sir, they have official documentation from the village as proof they are Mist Shinobi. One of them is the Mizukage themselves."

"H-huh? THEE MIZUKAGE is here? Whew. Thank Kami." The old man spoke proudly before standing up and dusting themselves off. Almost in an instant they went from being what most consider a coward to the man everyone expected them to be. "So glad you could 'finally' make it. I am the oracle, Haruya. I take it you ma'am are the Mizukage?" The oracle asked politely while looking awkwardly at the boy he was surprised to see there.

[Hōzuki Kyōka]

We are violence Toru was just as sweet as a brick of sea salt, and upon seeing Kyouka emerge from the water and greet him with a respectful bow by the harbour, the only thing he said in return was 'Let's Go'. Kyouka smirk's widened and she stared at him with her narrowed violet eyes. "A pleasure seeing you in good health, Mizukage-sama." and this time she didn't bother hiding the tiny hint of sass in her tone, but alas, they had things to do now, and after saying her words, Kyouka started following Toru on his path to centretown. It didn't take long for them to get to the building where the Oracle was located and they were greeted by his personnel. Kyouka responded to the greetings with polite - yet brief - bows, letting them inside so they could finally meet with the Oracle who, much to her expectations, looked like a foolish old buffoon. "Fantastic..." she thought to herself, keeping the friendly smile on her face. It was funny, however, how the man thought Kyouka was the Mizukage, which was quite the reasonable assumption; she was older, more experienced and looked overall more capable. However, underestimating the brat, as much as she disliked him, was a terrible mistake even Kyouka could admit. Shaking her head following her bow to the Oracle, she pointed her hands toward Toru. "Haruya-sama, you flatter me with your words, but Mizukage-sama is here." she said, pausing for a moment to let the old man take in the shocking news. "I am here to assist the Mizukage as one of the Mist's elite Jounins." she explained. and this is hell Kaguya Toru AP™ 285 words A-Rank Mission

Toru noted the sass, the hint of it anyway. But, didn't respond. It wasn't worth responding, as everyone on this green planet seemed to be under the impression that sass was going to get them somewhere, forgetting entirely that he had the power to demote just as quickly and easily as he could promote. Being respectful was a good trait to have, and not allowing true feelings to seep through, was an even better one. But, it didn't matter in the situation as they had a job to do. An important job no less, Toru wanted things to go off without a hitch.

They arrived at the doors after a long climb up a cliffside, he gave a brief bow. Not very low, mostly just a head nod before they were escorted to the oracle. A silly old-looking man. As to be expected, he wondered if the premonitions were to be truly believed. Perhaps it was a mind-over-matter situation. Manifesting realities simply through the power of belief. Some people were capable of doing that. Some.

The oracle called Kyoka Mizukage, and slowly his gaze wandered to her to see if she would confirm it, in her own ego. She did not, and pointed instead to Toru, who didn't express anything in regard to the comment, just quietly stared a moment before seemingly deciding to get to work.

"There is not a lot of time to discuss all of this, but we must squander you away somewhere... And I will take your place for when your assailants arrive. We must make it seem like you are completely unprepared and unaware."

There was a pause and he looked to Kyoka to see if she would have any arguments towards what he said.

"So, you should dress differently and hide your face and go down into town."

Then he would look at Kyoka and motion for her to do something, but then he spoke directions.

"Make one of your clones to escort the oracle around town, transform them into a civilian so draw even less attention."

Toru could make a clone, but his were quite costly when it came to chakra so he was a bit more conservative with using them.

"H-HIM."

The old man stood in shock, eyes glued to the boy as the older woman stated that she was here to assist him as an Elite Jounin. So many thoughts begin to cross his mind as he tried to gather how someone so young could be the leader of an entire village. He couldn't think of anything like this in recent memory to compare. All he could do was assume at best that the woman standing beside him would be enough to protect him from any harm coming his way.

"W-well.. I guess that'll have to do." The man was clearly disappointed in who was sent to protect him. He paid a lot of money for the help he requested, and in the event this went wrong he would see to it personally that the village pay for their disrespect. Nevertheless, Toru remained unfazed at the mans ignorance and begin setting plans in motion to protect the man from danger. The plan from what he could comprehend seemed to involved Toru taking his place instead in favor of him hiding in plain sight.

"Hmm, not such a bad idea kid.. Hmmmm." In the midst of Toru explaining the rest of his plans Haruyo begin holding his hands out toward the boy as he tried getting a reading on him. He made sure to take in all of what he saying, but he also wanted to see what kind of future was in store for the boy standing before him. "Ah... I see you will bring about great change for your people, but not without causing pain and suffering in others.. Including making deals with the Devil I see.. Hehe! Cleva boy!"

Toru would no doubt be confused by the mans words, but his prophecies were known to hold true, but only to the person he gave the reading to. There was no way for him to truly account for the outcomes of the people surrounding him. "I will adhere to your request, although I'm not sure how easy it'll be to hide this handsome face of mine.. Would you mind holding my piercings pretty lady?" The old man asked as he begin taking each of them out of his ear.

"These are quite valuable." He stated firmly before placing them on a table and heading into a room to change his cloths, and while he was at it he would even go out of his way to trim his mustache and beard so that he wouldn't be so easy to pinpoint in the crowd with the rest of the towns people. When he was done he'd come back into the room in dramatic fashion. "How is this for a disguise?!"

[DISGUISE EXAMPLE]

[Hōzuki Kyōka]

We are violence Toru almost had no emotion, and that was one of the things that she hated the most about him. Being a dark empath, Kyouka was used to reading people's deeper thoughts and body language to know how to properly adapt and make the most out of the situation. Well, she couldn't do it with him. It was an almost invasive feeling whenever she was with the boy, but she was slowly growing used to it. He was ready to go down to business as fast as possible, and Kyouka couldn't blame him for that; just looking at this oracle's face was enough to make her want to break his neck, but she just kept the kind smile on her face, letting the Mizukage do most of the talking, and nodding in acknowledgement when he asked her to make the Water Balloon Clones, which was to be expected since - as far as she knew - he couldn't create any clones other than the basic one. With a single hand seal, she promptly created two Water Balloon Clones, and they immediately used the Transformation Technique to disguise themselves as random thug-looking civilians from this backwater place. The Oracle's words were intriguing, and if the rumors were true, they held some truth to it. "If this geezer knows what he is talking about... The boy-kage will cause people to suffer, well... I can definitely live with that, as long I'm not the one." she thought to herself, without giving any hints. Widening her smile upon the man's request. "Not at all." a polite tone and nothing more. Kyouka grabbed the piercings and placed them in the safety of her leg holster. Then, when he came back in disguise, she looked at Toru and nodded.

NAME: Mizufūsen Bunshin [Water Balloon Clone]
RANK: B
REQUIREMENTS: High Chakra Control
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Water
DESCRIPTION:
A clone that is created by using the Hydrification Hijutsu of the Hozuki to alter the user's own cells into water. The clones can be as simple in function as a vaguely human shaped bubble for use in the Body Replacement Technique or a completely mobile and sentient clone capable of utilizing any jutsu in the users repertoire. the clones themselves have the ability to travel far from the user and are able to communicate with the original.

Moreover, since the clone has the ability to merge with any existing water source, it is also great for reconnaissance missions. By directly touching the clone with their hand, the user can either absorb the clone back into their body or change the shape of the clone.

Unlike other clone techniques, the Water Balloon Clone doesn't disappear when hit and takes the damage to a certain degree. This makes it the perfect clone technique that makes it nearly impossible to see through. However, the clones are inhibited by the actions of the user, so if they are preoccupied with other tasks the clones will not be able to act to their full potential.

Toru sighed at the disguise, it wasn't great. But, it would work well enough if he was just walking around in the crowd with a bunch of other people. In this case, clones that were dressed a little more roughly. Which, wouldn't necessarily stick out but the area was known for its monks and priests so hopefully their drab clothing would be enough. Of course, Toru also highly doubted that they would be looking in the main city, once they were tied up in battle with the two shinobi, well, they wouldn't really be able to do much else other than battle.

"Yes, good enough," He grumbled in response. "Now, go out the backway, or if there are any underground passages. Take the clones and go into the main town. Don't stop moving, but act normal." It would be hard to convince the eccentric oracle to do so, but hopefully since his life was at stake he would take it a little bit more seriously.

Once the man was gone, Toru would form one hand seal to turn into the oracle himself. He would remove the swords, and move up to the altar and hide them there as offerings before sitting down.

"Go outside," He would speak to Kyouka. "Under no circumstances do you come in here. Stay outside, draw the battle there. We must make them think that there is only one shinobi standing guard outside. That they are at an advantage. I'll sit here, and if they try anything... It's game over."

So, he sat where the oracle would sit, his legs crossed in meditation. Once Kyouka left to stand guard at the main door, he would form a hand seal within his sleeves and fall into a trance.

Are you ready?

I'm not sure, I was thinking maybe we play without me today, hm? I'm sleeeepy~

Tsk. And if I need you?

Well if you need me then I suppose, I SUPPOSE it's no problem.

Right.

Toru would be able to smell anyone who approached without warning or in stealth, so there was at least that going for him. Not that he needed to smell any new arrivals.

Jutsu Used:
Henge
x1 Unknown Prepared

『Masterful Kenjutsu』
Toru had a great deal of knowledge when it comes to weaponry, but his love lies in swords. As a jounin, his skill and movement with almost any blade are that of a seasoned master or prodigy. The sword is just an extension of his body and who he is. When a blade is in his hands he strikes his enemies down quickly and doesn't seem to hesitate when he does so. The form of his body is that of someone who has trained in the art for quite some time, and it is no surprise when he is able to go toe-to-toe with elite jounin with seemingly little issue.

『Tornado Speed』
Toru uses his lithe frame to move around quickly and his training with kenjutsu combined with his desire to be faster has brought to the point that he is at today. In top physical form, he is much faster than not only the average jounin but can parallel the speeds of elite jounin going at their very quickest. As a bukijutsu specialist, few can match his speed, although a few jounin that are trained in speed can keep up.

『Demon Reflex』
Toru has impeccable control over his body and muscles, to the point that he appears as if he might be dancing around his opponents with mockery. Not only quick on his feet, but he also seems to have the reflexes to go along with his speed. It takes a similarly lithe and feline-like opponent to land a proper hit on the small boy. An elite jounin with similar speed and reflexes - and proper training - can tire Toru out properly enough to do so, or perhaps a jounin although it may take longer - as long as they have this same training. Toru is a slimy opponent and is difficult to pin down.

『Sanbi Jinchuuriki』
Toru is the host of Isobu the Sanbi and is thus gifted with a series of powers. His chakra pool, in its default state is already quite abnormally large, it has now exponentially increased outmatching if not totally dwarfing the majority of shinobi, in truth only rivaled by other jinchuuriki. Alongside this, he also is granted passive access to different abilities - manipulating coral and coral techniques, in which the coral is harder and more resilient than naturally occurring coral being one of said abilities. Though the most outwardly noticeable trait, is that Toru seems impervious to certain levels of attacks. This is due to a substantial boost to his durability, his skin now being coated in a thin layer of iron-like durability making him capable of minimizing damage from various jutsu and weaponry as well as stopping attacks that are weaker than him almost entirely.

Later stages of Sanbi he is also granted access to shell techniques, and his durability grows with each stage of influence he has over the beast. Toru also has access to special powerful Suiton when in any of the shrouds.

『One-Handed Seals』
Toru has created a way in which he is never disadvantaged by not having his sword in hand - by learning to create hand seals with only one available hand. He does not need to have both hands to perform jutsu. As long as one hand is free, he is always capable of performing or setting up a jutsu against those he is fighting making it so that even if he is pinned in an unsavory situation he can still unleash jutsu to get him out of those situations as quickly as humanely possible.

『Silent Killing』
Toru through quite rigorous training has learned how to blend in with his environment and passing by his targets undetected. His movement and breathing is unnaturally silent, and when focused on a task at hand he is able to appear as a ghost, unheard and unseen, as a result he is able to take out his targets or opponents without alarming those around him with a discomforting amount of ease.

『Scent Hound』
Taking inspiration from his wolf familiar, Toru has developed a keen sense of smell. This sense allows him to easily determine where someone is due to a unique scent profile, and he is able to perform tracking duties by only needing to pick up a trail. This ability allows him to continue 'seeing' when he cannot actually see or hear - 400m passively. Focusing chakra to his nose he can enhance the radius of scent picking up to a formidable 2km, though the scent locations are less precise at this distance. The one downfall to this ability is overly intense foul smells that are closer to Toru may become overwhelming to a generally debilitating degree where only plugging the nose will help alleviate the incoming need to vomit.

[AP™]

The old mans face quickly shifted from upbeat to blank upon hearing the immediate request from the Mizukage. If there was something he was certain of it was that they weren't nice, or any fun. The Elite Jounin woman was definitely more his type, but nevertheless he would oblige as his life was the most important part of what was going on anything. He would take it the boys attitude was more about his protection than how he felt about him personally. After all he did just give him a free reading.

"There is definitely a back way out, but unfortunately no underground passage. I mean, who would want to kill a lovable old man like me."

Haruya added just before he left the scenes with the clone. He made sure that his usual clumsy and mysterious act were put aside in favor of the disguise he put together. A more serious and intelligent old man that no one would bother thinking did predictions and readings for a living. While he was out he would try to enjoy the town just like everyone else and would hope that all the work being done behind the scenes would be accomplished.

---

"So, this is where he is supposed to be hiding out eh? Stupid old man.. How dare he think he could lie to me and get away with it!"

The man speaking had lost an eye due to a miscalculation on a prophecy provided to him by Haruyo. One that not only cost him a lot of money, but his eye as well. Still, he was one of the more formidable fighters in all the land and he was going to prove to him once and for all why he wasn't someone to be played with. He'd take his payment in death, and of course by taking control over all the mans riches and assets. This mans name is Daishin, and with him were a number of strong Shinobi level personnel ready to do his work.

"Boss, we scanned the area and it seems like he has no idea whose coming after him. I mean, only a woman stands before his building."

"Fool.. If this isn't proof he's a fraud than I don't know what else will.. Kill her, and then bring him to me out here. I'll execute the man myself and then have his head on a spike for everyone to see."

Three men would be sent out to approached the building to take out the woman and then of course bring Haruyo to Daishin. It wouldn't take long for them to arrive at the location where they initially scouted his security, and once there the group would opt out to take the woman out silently so that no one inside would know what was going on. In the threes nearby a barrage of Kunai would be sent flying out toward the woman. Six to be exact coming from different trees surrounding the location.

The group expected that she would not see anything coming at all, but if she were able to spot them she would probably be able to identify where they were located. One was in a tree 8 o'clock from her location, another was in a tree from her 5 o'clock, and another was in a tree from her 3 o'clock. Each of them throwing 2 kunai a piece aimed toward areas that would give her a quick death. 2 to the head, 2 aimed to the heart, and another 2 aimed for the eyes.

[Hōzuki Kyōka]

We are violence The clones had an open line of communication with Kyouka, so she would know if anything happened with them, thus giving him a tactical advantage most clones didn't have, but she was sure Toru remembered that from their mission at the Red Keep, so he didn't feel like it was appropriate to remind him, especially in the presence of other people. A shinobi should not be sharing the secrets of their techniques, unless absolutely necessary. Her violet eyes met his cold ones as she listened to his instructions, then, with a short bow, she silently accepted his orders. Then, without further ado, Kyouka walked away from the building, placing herself as a guard in front of the facility. Uemori was on her hand and she stuck it on the ground just in front of her, folding her arms just beneath her generous breast and she waited. Her violet eyes were alert, looking around in surveillance as she was hoping to be able to identify the treats as they approached. And so she did. A discrete ruffling in the leaves, against the wind, that was enough for her to know something was incoming. "A ranged attack would make sense if they want to be quick and silent about it." she thought to herself, not moving an inch from her spot. And shortly after noticing the odd movement around the trees, the attack came in the form of kunai. They had precision on their side, which meant they were quite the step-up from the random thugs she had to deal with in her latest missions. Now things were bound to get interesting. Standing her ground, the kunais would seemingly hit the target, but at a closer look, the man would notice that the kunais just phased through her body, leaving just a bit of a 'splash' as they touched her body. They were in for a kill, but that would come to bite them in the butt, for when the Kunais phased through her body, Kyouka lifted both her hands, fingers in the form of a gun, one pointing to the three at 8 o'clock, and the other hand aiming at the three at 3 o'clock. "First... Rude! Second... Mizudeppo no Jutsu!" and as she said that, she first fired the Water Gun at the person at 8 o'clock, shortly followed by another shot at the one at 3 o'clock. The Water Gun Technique was already something very powerful, but when Kyouka used it, its power was considerably increased, as well as the speed of the technique. She was a master of Water Release, and those man would pay the price of attempting to harm her, for her technique was able to pierce through steel itself.

NAME: Mizudeppo no jutsu [Water Gun Technique]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Hijutsu
ELEMENT: Water
DESCRIPTION:
The user mimics a fire gun with his hand and, through the Hydrification Technique, compresses a drop of water in their index finger, firing it with tremendous force and speed similar to a gunshot. The technique is able to easily pierce through solid wood and stone but it has trouble actually destroying it. The average range being about 20 meters.

SPOILER: Click to show

Hydrification Technique
A Protean, whole-body technique whereby the user can liquefy their body at will. This technique completely nullifies all physical attacks making it impossible to receive damage while in this form. From a single hair, to skin down to muscles can be turned into water at will. Be it to evade an enemy's attack during a short range battle, to infiltrate a structure, or to launch a surprise attack in a liquefied state, this technique boasts a high strategic value. Applying this technique, the user can also modify their body parts for suitable situations.

While in a liquefied state the user can freely control their body at will, slipping into cracks in the sidewalk, or underneath the crack under a door to infiltrate an enemy structure silently. If a part of the user's body becomes severed they can easily regrow it with the hydrification technique as long as they have sufficient water to do so.

While the Hydrification technique offers a high strategic value, being completely made of water also has its drawbacks. While unconscious the user suffers from being in a jelly like state, Being made of water also means having an extreme vulnerability to Lightning Release Jutsu. Whenever using this technique the user has to make sure to remain constantly hydrated otherwise they will not be able to use their Hydrification techniques.

Kyouka is a master of the technique, having developed it through her many years as a Shinobi.

Water Release Master
In matters of Ninjutsu, Kyouka is entirely focused on the usage of Water Release, which made her a master of the element. Her Hydrification technique allows her to use Water Release normally, without a nearby water source, as long as she is well hydrated. She can also make her techniques stronger and faster than normal due to her extreme proficiency, which even allows her to perform Water Release jutsu with less hand seals.

Toru remained perfectly still in his spot, though vigiliant even when he started to hear the commotion outside. The kunai, the gushing water. Very easy to hear as the metal hit stone ground or pillars and a roar of water was cast. He knew then that the attackers, their assailants had arrived. But they had not yet found the young man disguised as an oracle sitting where the oracle sat as a total fraud in meditation. One jutsu still maintained as he inhaled in and out, his mind achieving a perfect balance of peace, his heart rate calmed.

You've really mastered this, huh?

It's taken a while, though... I guess in part it's also helped me with keeping in contact with you better.

It has no doubt, helped, Toru-chan.

Toru would be able to smell if the men came inside, so in that sense he was able to easily continue his meditation. Talking to Isobu whilst passing the time idly, his mind having soothed to a low pitch. He would be ready when they came for him. Though, they would not be. The real oracle was long gone by now, hopefully keeping a low profile in town. There would be little to no-way to determine that Toru was NOT the oracle. Unless they were capable of sensory, though, if that were the case their scouting would have yielded something else entirely as an answer.

『Silent Killing』
Toru through quite rigorous training has learned how to blend in with his environment and passing by his targets undetected. His movement and breathing is unnaturally silent, and when focused on a task at hand he is able to appear as a ghost, unheard and unseen, as a result he is able to take out his targets or opponents without alarming those around him with a discomforting amount of ease.

『Scent Hound』
Taking inspiration from his wolf familiar, Toru has developed a keen sense of smell. This sense allows him to easily determine where someone is due to a unique scent profile, and he is able to perform tracking duties by only needing to pick up a trail. This ability allows him to continue 'seeing' when he cannot actually see or hear - 400m passively. Focusing chakra to his nose he can enhance the radius of scent picking up to a formidable 2km, though the scent locations are less precise at this distance. The one downfall to this ability is overly intense foul smells that are closer to Toru may become overwhelming to a generally debilitating degree where only plugging the nose will help alleviate the incoming need to vomit.

[AP™]

The group as a whole would be surprised by what transpired before them. They were prepared for their attacks to land without failure given their assassinating abilities, but they most certainly wasn't prepared for their attacks to phase right through their target. They were under the impression she was just a regular guard like anyone else levels below them in combat ability, but it appeared as though they were wrong.

Unknown Person for now: Given the sudden shock of what transpired it wasn't a surprise that they would be caught off guard by what came afterward. The opposition would do their best to try and avoid the attack, but given the surprise nature of it and its unnatural speed they could only avoid so much. The water gun would land without resistance in the shoulder tearing most of it off before they'd yell and fall out of the area they were hiding in. Given the chance he received backup from the other two they would make a run for it back to Daishin.

---

Emon: The second water gun was shot in their direction, but given the timing of it all they would have bigger window to get out of the way than their comrade. Of course given the limited space for hiding it would reveal them in full affect to the opposition. From an appearance standpoint they would be covered in an all black full body suit, tight to the skin. The only place that wasn't covered was their face, and strapped to their back was a Wanjiandao sword. Emon wasted zero time after landing to start preparing an attacking of their own, unsheathing their sword and imbuing it with chakra before slashing twice at the woman. The Sabre Technique was an attempt to force her into blocking as avoiding them would send projectiles strong enough and capable of damaging the building behind her.

Saaberu no Jutsu - [Sabre Technique]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
ELEMENT: N/a
DESCRIPTION: Employing the use of chakra flow, the user runs chakra through their swords, extending both the reach and cutting ability of the blade while allowing the user to fire crescents of chakra whenever the blade is swung on command. This released chakra is capable of great destruction as these projectiles are capable of completely penetrating large stone pillars and still travel in their intended direction.

Hide: Fortunately they had the advantage of not having to worry about neither attacks seeing as none of them were fired in their direction. It was clear to them immediately that the woman they were up against was no ordinary woman, but he couldn't attack just yet. Not after Emon had already revealed themselves and was using an attack of their own. Instead, Hide would simply play the back up role by revealing themselves as well, but not making a move until after Emon Sabre technique. Their clothing was an exact replica of Emons signaling that they were definitely apart of an organization rather than being a group of random bandits or rogue warriors. Hide also carried a Wanjiandao, and theirs would be unsheathe before coming out of hiding as well.

[Hōzuki Kyōka]

We are violence "Hahaha! That, right there! I love it!" she exclaimed when she heard the scream of pain of the man who got hit by her water gun, having his shoulder partially destroyed. His career as a whatever it is he was was probably over now, but he was still alive, and she would need to fix that real soon, well, as soon as she dealt with the other little worms who were still around. One of them came down from the tree and immediately started making his way toward her, preparing his own sword attack. Well, the building was behind her, so she couldn't just phase through it, so instead, she grabbed her Uemori and used the legendary blade to try and block the attack, using her incredible physical strength to not move away from her spot. If that worked, she would quickly point her free hand towards his face, now that they were up close and personal, once again in the shape of a gun and aim to hit him right in between his eyes with her technique. "Let's celebrate by painting the floor with your brains, alright? Mizudeppo no Jutsu!" she exclaimed, as she once again relied on the incredible speed and piercing power of her attack. From their movements, they seemed like capable Shinobi, but nowhere close to her level, so this should be enough to get rid of them. And although she wasn't really too concerned about conserving a lot of chakra, giving the fact that she had a huge chakra pool, it was better to not go all out when she didn't need to. With the corner of her eyes, she would keep tabs on the other one, not failing to notice that he seemed to have prepared something. "Interesting..." she thought to herself. and this is hell Kaguya Toru AP™ 315 words A-Rank Mission

NAME: Uemori [Hungering Forest] | Bokutō [Woodsword]
RANK: S
CLASSIFICATION: Offensive
ELEMENT: N/A
REQUIREMENT: Kirigakure Shinobi
OWNER: Hōzuki Kyōka
DESCRIPTION:
Appearing closer to a wooden club or a saw than a sword, Uemori has an octagonal main body, with various sharpened spines much like teeth sprouting from two opposite sides giving it a double edged serrated ‘blade’. The entire sword itself seems to be made from a dark wood, lacquered to have a maroon hue, much like dried blood. The Sword’s teeth vary in size and seem to be wooden teeth sharpened to a razor’s edge. The sword is rather large, being four feet in total length with half of it being the blade and half being the handle. Along the sword’s body various engravings can be found, most depicting worms and various plant life feeding on warriors.

ABILITIES:
Made of a special wood that grew naturally in the Waruichi’s old homeland, Uemori is a very unique sword indeed. Still technically alive, the sword is carved from a tree whose wood acts as a natural anti-coagulant, this is coupled with the various bladed teeth being razor sharp. When the blade is used to cut someone, usually being slammed down and dragged through a person in a sawing motion, the sword’s teeth will splinter and break, leaving themselves inside the wound, ensuing that any attempts to remove the razor sharp splinters ends up making the wounds worse, and making the already heavy bleeding heavier. Being still quite alive, the sword is capable of quickly regrowing the lost teeth, often taking no longer than a few seconds. However if the sword was to be damaged or destroyed, it takes longer for it to grow back to normal. Of course to keep its regeneration active the user must let the sword soak up sunlight and water for an hour each day, or it will go dormant and cease to regrow until it is given sun and water.

NAME: Mizudeppo no jutsu [Water Gun Technique]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Hijutsu
ELEMENT: Water
DESCRIPTION:
The user mimics a fire gun with his hand and, through the Hydrification Technique, compresses a drop of water in their index finger, firing it with tremendous force and speed similar to a gunshot. The technique is able to easily pierce through solid wood and stone but it has trouble actually destroying it. The average range being about 20 meters.

SPOILER: Click to show

Hydrification Technique
A Protean, whole-body technique whereby the user can liquefy their body at will. This technique completely nullifies all physical attacks making it impossible to receive damage while in this form. From a single hair, to skin down to muscles can be turned into water at will. Be it to evade an enemy's attack during a short range battle, to infiltrate a structure, or to launch a surprise attack in a liquefied state, this technique boasts a high strategic value. Applying this technique, the user can also modify their body parts for suitable situations.

While in a liquefied state the user can freely control their body at will, slipping into cracks in the sidewalk, or underneath the crack under a door to infiltrate an enemy structure silently. If a part of the user's body becomes severed they can easily regrow it with the hydrification technique as long as they have sufficient water to do so.

While the Hydrification technique offers a high strategic value, being completely made of water also has its drawbacks. While unconscious the user suffers from being in a jelly like state, Being made of water also means having an extreme vulnerability to Lightning Release Jutsu. Whenever using this technique the user has to make sure to remain constantly hydrated otherwise they will not be able to use their Hydrification techniques.

Kyouka is a master of the technique, having developed it through her many years as a Shinobi.

Water Release Master
In matters of Ninjutsu, Kyouka is entirely focused on the usage of Water Release, which made her a master of the element. Her Hydrification technique allows her to use Water Release normally, without a nearby water source, as long as she is well hydrated. She can also make her techniques stronger and faster than normal due to her extreme proficiency, which even allows her to perform Water Release jutsu with less hand seals.

Titan’s Strength
Kyouka is naturally incredibly strong, having developed her muscles through years of training. That alone makes her capable of cracking the ground with a punch, and even bending steel. Her mastery over the hydrification technique helps increase her already impressive strength due to the fact that she can pump water into her muscles, allowing to perform incredible feats of strength, such as creating a crater with a strike, and jumping to extreme heights, lifting and carrying heavy objects and people, or even throwing large boulders at her enemies. There are few people who can match Kyouka’s Hydrification strength.

Kenjutsu Master
As one of the Seven Mist Swordsmen, Kyouka is well-versed in swordfighting. The sword is a natural extension of her body, making her extremely skilled with blades and similar weapons. She was a true prodigy, and since her focus is on sheer power, her strikes are donned with crazy precision and strength. Very few people can hold themselves in a swordfight with Kyouka.

if i'm a danger to myself Just think what I could do to you AP™ Hōzuki Kyōka

Toru, in truth, was surprised that no one had come inside yet to try and check out the situation. There were plenty of areas around the pantheon-like building that could be crawled through. There was an entire upper balcony level even and window-type holes that would allow for extremely easy entry. He could hear the fighting outside, but still nothing coming to him to the inside. Would they try to take Kyouka out first, truly? It seemed a waste of energy at some point if one's goal was to kill the oracle, and Toru being the oracle currently would be the primary target. So, he was truly banking on them sending extra resources around the combat going on out front to him directly inside.

He was, also, determined to make sure to not break character. Though the temptation to go out and help Kyoka was there, he knew that the mission was what came first. Kyouka's well-being and his own would come secondary in this situation. The boy kept his breathing steady and even, still swirling around in the water's of his mind, keeping a conversation and connection with Isobu. They had an almost perfect relationship... Soon, the two of them would be showing off their powers in more ways than simply 'testing the waters'.

『Masterful Kenjutsu』
Toru had a great deal of knowledge when it comes to weaponry, but his love lies in swords. As a jounin, his skill and movement with almost any blade are that of a seasoned master or prodigy. The sword is just an extension of his body and who he is. When a blade is in his hands he strikes his enemies down quickly and doesn't seem to hesitate when he does so. The form of his body is that of someone who has trained in the art for quite some time, and it is no surprise when he is able to go toe-to-toe with elite jounin with seemingly little issue.

『Tornado Speed』
Toru uses his lithe frame to move around quickly and his training with kenjutsu combined with his desire to be faster has brought to the point that he is at today. In top physical form, he is much faster than not only the average jounin but can parallel the speeds of elite jounin going at their very quickest. As a bukijutsu specialist, few can match his speed, although a few jounin that are trained in speed can keep up.

『Demon Reflex』
Toru has impeccable control over his body and muscles, to the point that he appears as if he might be dancing around his opponents with mockery. Not only quick on his feet, but he also seems to have the reflexes to go along with his speed. It takes a similarly lithe and feline-like opponent to land a proper hit on the small boy. An elite jounin with similar speed and reflexes - and proper training - can tire Toru out properly enough to do so, or perhaps a jounin although it may take longer - as long as they have this same training. Toru is a slimy opponent and is difficult to pin down.

『Sanbi Jinchuuriki』
Toru is the host of Isobu the Sanbi and is thus gifted with a series of powers. His chakra pool, in its default state is already quite abnormally large, it has now exponentially increased outmatching if not totally dwarfing the majority of shinobi, in truth only rivaled by other jinchuuriki. Alongside this, he also is granted passive access to different abilities - manipulating coral and coral techniques, in which the coral is harder and more resilient than naturally occurring coral being one of said abilities. Though the most outwardly noticeable trait, is that Toru seems impervious to certain levels of attacks. This is due to a substantial boost to his durability, his skin now being coated in a thin layer of iron-like durability making him capable of minimizing damage from various jutsu and weaponry as well as stopping attacks that are weaker than him almost entirely.

Later stages of Sanbi he is also granted access to shell techniques, and his durability grows with each stage of influence he has over the beast. Toru also has access to special powerful Suiton when in any of the shrouds.

『One-Handed Seals』
Toru has created a way in which he is never disadvantaged by not having his sword in hand - by learning to create hand seals with only one available hand. He does not need to have both hands to perform jutsu. As long as one hand is free, he is always capable of performing or setting up a jutsu against those he is fighting making it so that even if he is pinned in an unsavory situation he can still unleash jutsu to get him out of those situations as quickly as humanely possible.

『Silent Killing』
Toru through quite rigorous training has learned how to blend in with his environment and passing by his targets undetected. His movement and breathing is unnaturally silent, and when focused on a task at hand he is able to appear as a ghost, unheard and unseen, as a result he is able to take out his targets or opponents without alarming those around him with a discomforting amount of ease.

Focusing chakra to his nose he can enhance the radius of scent picking up to a formidable 2km, though the scent locations are less precise at this distance. The one downfall to this ability is overly intense foul smells that are closer to Toru may become overwhelming to a generally debilitating degree where only plugging the nose will help alleviate the incoming need to vomit.

Unknown Person/Kota: "D-Daishin... The woman guarding the building. S-she isn't what we thought she was." The man clearly distraught as he approached the man with his shoulder nearly coming off his torso.

Daishin: "So, is that it? I send you over there to do a simple job and you come back like this? Sigh... Sorry Kota, If I'd known you guys would have this much trouble I would have brought a healer, but I did not." A shoulder shrug followed as he sent one of his other two henchman toward Kota. "You fought hard and long for our cause, but I think your time here is up.. I can't afford to waste my resources on trying to save you, so I will end your suffering quickly. Fusao." With a snap of a finger Fusao would quickly appear in front of the man and would stab him through the heart. "I seems he might have actually used that money of his to hire some real security. You two, go see if the others were able to get the job done, if Kota was right this might become more of a nuisance than I hoped."

Emon: Emon was shocked to see that his plan didn't work out as well as they would have hoped, and shortly after the failure of his attack did the woman aim to use the same attack toward him again. Given their closeness in proximity to the opposition dodging naturally would not be likely. Instead they opted to body flicker over to their left to get out the way of the attack. Afterward, they would finally make a legit advancement toward them using the Multiplying Thrust technique coming in from her right side.

NAME: Shunshin no Jutsu [Body Flicker Technique]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
HANDSEALS: 1
DESCRIPTION: By invigorating one's entire body with chakra, a shinobi can seemingly disappear and reappear in another location faster than most people can see. Often times one's movements are disguised with the use of an extra element, be it a smoke bomb, leaves, water, sand, etc. in order to hide the user's trajectory from those with skilled eyes. Though it mimics teleportation, it is important to remember this jutsu merely boosts the agility of its user. As useful as this technique is, it can only be used 4 times in a battle thread, compounding in exertion and difficulty each time. with any more usages beyond that result in muscle tears in the legs from overexertion. The hand seal for this technique must be held until the shinobi reaches their destination, making it impossible to utilize other techniques regardless of any preparation.

NAME: Jōzan Surasuto [Multiplying Thrust]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 0
DESCRIPTION: A fairly simple, yet deadly technique. By flowing chakra to the muscles in their arms the user is temporarily capable of stabbing their weapons with incredible speed, capable of performing roughly a hundred thrusts in just a few seconds. While this can prove deadly to anyone caught within the range of their weapon, it is also limited by that range. Additionally while the user's striking speed is increased, that is the only speed increased. Lastly this technique can only be utilized four times per engagement before the user begins to destroy the muscles in their arm(s).

Hide: Coming in from Kyoka's left side after blocking Emon's Sabre technique, Hide would try to close the gap between using the acceleration technique before attempting to use the Beheading technique just before Emon would close the gap between them to use their own technique. The point would be to ultimately overwhelm her with multiple assaults that would prove to be too much for anyone to dodge.
