[Hōzuki Kyōka]

We are violence As a puddle, Kyouka would shape herself so that she could sign to Sanji that he would be taking on the blonde girl, which the mosquito promptly acknowledged. Meanwhile, Kyouka would continue as a puddle, heading towards the individual who was nearby, following the blonde. She would move as quickly and sneakily as she could, for her goal was to sneak attack the individual with all her might. Kyouka would close in, and once the person was in range, she would immediately emerge from the puddle with Uemori ready on her hand and, using all of her strength - further enhanced by her Hydrification Technique, specifically the use of the Water Release: Great Water Arm Jutsu - she would attempt to swing her blade to hit the individual's head and hopefully end their life. If she was successful on her attack, she would stop for a moment to assess the situation and the damage caused to her opponent, to confirm the kill or to get ready for a fight. If she failed, she would assume her battle stance and get ready to finish the job one way or the other. Meanwhile, Sanji would try to sneakily approach Taki, and once he was close enough to her, he would put his tiny hands together forming one hand seal. "Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu!" using his Genjutsu, Sanji would attempt to capture the girl in his Genjutsu. The technique would start with a mist that would start obscuring her surroundings. Knowing Taki had a relationship with one of Kyouka's students, Momochi Kasumi, Sanji would try and use that against the girl, trying to make her fall into complete despair. and this is hell N/A 283 words Attack from both

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.

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.

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.

NAME: Suiton: Gosuiwan no jutsu [Water Release: Great Water Arm Jutsu]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Hijutsu
ELEMENT: Water
DESCRIPTION:
By putting the Hydrification Technique into practical use, the muscles of the arm are temporarily enlarged and strengthened. Moisture is gathered from the whole body and compressed into the entire arm, like an instant pump-up. However, because it is essential to properly control the moisture balance inside the body, this technique's degree of difficulty is very high. The technique gives the user superhuman strength, capable of breaking through both rock walls and steel doors with ease.

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.

Enhanced Speed: Sanji is extremely fast. He can fly at incredible speed, and even if he is reduced to running, he is also surprisingly fast for a creature of his size and build. Once he is on the run, it's hard to keep up with him.

NAME: Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu - [Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Genjutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
TRIGGER: Handseal (Sight)
DESCRIPTION:
Activated by the user seeing a handseal, the illusion begins with the user being quickly obscured by some material natural to the location and disappearing from sight once it clears. This material could be leaves, sand, water, etc. A somewhat slower burning technique, it is still quite effective as this is a genjutsu that reveals the fears that dwell inside people's hearts. Everyone has an image of the one thing they wouldn't want to ever see. This genjutsu is a technique that draws forth such an image from within the heart and has one mistake it for reality. First, an imaginary circle of leaves will spin around and envelop the target, falling away shortly after. After a short period, the illusion will begin. This is to make the illusion more convincing, since the user will likely have moved before the illusion sets in. If the mental image is a gruesome one, the shock will be accordingly great.

[Jun Etsuko]

The jounin wasn't by any means an easy opponent, she'd been raised as a weapon and to her life was to fight. Peace could dull the senses, but the sharpness of her blade mattered. Sadly the situational awareness of a sensor was beyond the nibi-jinchuuriki. She was too straightforward and tactless, it wasn't about strategy to her. It was just about being better, so it'd be the first of the blows which landed clearest. It'd also be the strike to make her fully aware of her opponent, she'd almost instantly shift to better face her foe.

A rapid onslaught was thrown her way, it's speed was fierce, but this was Matatabi's host. A catlike gaze locking upon the other kunoichi's eyes, as her arms shifted to better block at first. The way her pupils would shrink would tell the other shinobi at least her blow hit, it was a powerful strike which surged across the jounin's cloak. The fire like fur around her was quickly evident to be more fire than fur for sure. An almost splash of fire burst from the first hit clearly, as though some of the cloak would tear from the woman's body.

Blue flames were some of the hottest, Matatabi's flames weren't ones to be easily extinguished either. However, as the jounin had now locked eyes with her prey, she'd know it was no monster foolishly striking. It was a calculated strike of a fellow shinobi. Key the start of her grin, but also the shift of her focus. Chakra rippled on her cloak, as though to quickly puff out and merge with the flames being shed from the brunette's powerful punch. Yanking them back in line, these discarded flames would pose no threat. Along with that each following strike would seem to hit more or less condensed chakra and recoil better to the strikes.

The attacks were fast enough to not let the jounin immediately retaliate without it being catastrophic. They weren't fast enough to be unpredictable to evade Matatabi's reflexes. 'Grab her foot and I'll make some cuts.' Etsuko would relay to Matatabi, who'd give a quick nod as a hand of chakra emerged from Etsuko's chest to block the oncoming kick. Attempting to grasp the foot and anchor herself to the girl to deliver probably four slices from all her held swords. In her mind she'd mentally draw the lines her swords would cut.

Her thoughts however would be immediately diverted, as she'd feel a sudden and overwhelming force. 'Her other attacks weren't this strong!' Etsuko would think with wide eyes, as the chakra arm which was summoned would begin to crater upon her. She couldn't recoil this strike, so she'd detach the created chakra arm. Causing all the burning condensed chakra to explode in a vicious blue cloud of very hot flames. The jounin would be launched into the air as Asuka planned if the attack was held through, however it'd not ruin the jounin. She'd hack out all the air in her chest from the hit, but she wasn't flying this vessel stand alone. Matatabi and Etsuko were a two in one package.

So as soon as the woman's body was launched, her tails would shoot down and behind her. Catching the ground to anchor herself and not be launched to high, but to also give her relative control and maneuverability despite her hands and feet not being grounded. Gasping in pain as she'd instantly regret underestimating her opponents power. However wind was 'her' element and catching a breath wouldn't be hard. As soon as her tails anchored, she'd charge chakra through her swords. Swiping first the ones in her hands to unleash an x shape of cutting chakra, her tails seeming to pull her back down and away from Asuka. Immediately upon regaining her footing on the ground though, her tails would emerge from earth also channeling chakra and unleashing two more cutting lines of chakra. The second attacks aimed to either side of the first attack, as if to bait the girl into being hit by at least one of these attacks.

Jutsu:
NAME: 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.

NAME: Chakuraāmu [Chakra Arms]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
DESCRIPTION:
When a Tailed Beast or Jinchuuriki taps reaches into their Version 1 Chakra Cloak, they are capable of using the bubbling chakra which surrounds them as an extension of their body. These chakra appendages can be freely manipulated for almost an infinite distance as a result of its lack of joints. Additionally, they can surge at opponents at speeds that even the most highly trained of shinobi would have trouble reacting to. These appendages can grow in size and form, but only those who have control of at least half of their form (starting at Version 2 Chakra Cloak) can create any number of chakra arms they desire from any part of their body. Just like the original chakra arms, these extra arms can be used as grappling hooks, for grabbing opponents/objects, defense, or offensively. Unlike the original arms, these chakra arms are much thicker, and darker as a result of Version 2's advanced nature. For those who have minimal control, all chakra arms will always cause burns to those who contact them. (can be made cool for those with good amount of control). In the case of the Ichibi Jinchuuriki, these chakra arms will be in the form of sand.

Version 1 - Can attain up to 20 Chakra Arms dependent upon Control. With max Version 1 tails being 20 and half of one's tail equating to 10. Etc.

Version 2 - Unlimited Tails


Chakra Shroud [1 Tail]
Etsuko: In the event of a tailed form being obtained something has to of clearly gone wrong. Etsuko can control herself in an enhanced state like the 1 Tail shroud, but she can only obtain this power if Matabi offers it to her. Matabi isn't doling out chakra on a regular basis though, if Matabi feels Etsuko's enemy is beyond her Human potential, then she'll offer power to Etsuko, but typically only the amount of power needed. Etsuko's one tail cloak appears like a denser blanket of blue flame around her body, it's less ghostly and behind Etsuko is now one fluffy neko tail of sapphire blue fire. Matabi's cloak in one tailed form allows Etsuko almost twice the boost to speed as her no tail cloak, it allows her to effectively be swift while still using a more Katon based combat style. However the flames are also hotter now and weapons often start to sizzle in grip and prolonged combat with them seem to almost double their durability lost. Another reason Etsuko carries her Seven Katana's sometimes an extra arm or two never hurt. Etsuko also gains the ability to wield one blade from her chakra cloak tail, Etsuko's chakra cloak isn't capable of expanding or morphin, beyond it's initial shape.

Chakra Shroud [2 Tail]
Etsuko: In the situation of a trap or a fight between those clearly beyond Etsuko's regular Bukijutsu, as well as beyond being able to pacify with a one tailed releases aid. The difference between Etsuko's first and second tailed release is the flames which cloak her now burn brightly like a living flame than a chakra veil, it appears to be a denser flame around her clothes, so that her facial and human physical features are still noticeable. The obvious second tail is added to Etsuko's back side, she'll often arm both tails with a katana, as despite not being able to extend her chakra cloak freely, Etsuko is now able to encase her weapons in the Nibi's Cloak. Englufed by the chakra the weapons no longer wear like in the first tailed form, but the weapons now encased with chakra lose their cutting edge, but gain a hotter, stronger strike instead. The speed boost granted by the second cloak allows Etsuko to move at the pace of her S-rank, as well as gives her the kicking force to lunge or jump as far as one stride of Matabi in her full release form. Faster and Stronger, Etsuko gains the ability to take on stacked odds with a greater ease, but it'd only be against those stacked odds she'd be allowed this power.

Weighted Training #2
Relying almost entirely upon her CQC skills Etsuko doesn't take her training lightly, she in order to improve her natural strength as well her human speed, has spent the past nine years weight training with a specially designed cloak. In lesser situations she'll even wear the cloak into combat, as it's material is quite durable and the weights hidden inside it act as armor. Half of the weights in her cloak have been broken due to her wearing it into battle, though she's made it habit to remove the cloak before winning a fight. It being an all white cloak she dislikes it getting blood, but once removed the girls speed seems to double and the fact she can wear the cloak all day unhindered, she also free's up enough carrying strength to carry her whole team once the cloaks removed.

Amazing Swordplay #4
Etsuko had trained long with a katana as it was traditional a genin start with base weapons like a standard blade, however proving she was beyond the weapon in recent years hasn't stopped her from wielding them. Her speed beyond most allowed her even to beat a highly skilled samurai in her youth, she didn't devastate the samurai, but she proved her inherit blade skills and past training turned into into the amazing sword artist. She now carries seven Katana's which she can fight until their destruction, or as she prefers to do, throw them as if they were kunai. Etsuko never felt the killing potential behind a kunai or shuriken, so in her recent years and acquired strength she'd just about nailed down the art of whipping a sword as if it were meant to be a thrown projectile.

Nibi Jinchuuriki #5
Etsuko is well known in her village for being the Nibi Jinchuuriki, her eyes are that of the cats and her hair naturally stands in two cats ears at the top of her head. Even as a child without any ability to call upon she was noticed for her kitty similarities. Etsuko however has been mostly in denial of her potential power limits, even knowing Matabi as a giant chakra structure Etsuko has always seen the two-tails as more of an idol or friend, than a means of power. Her natural element feeding Nibi's flame but not being Etsuko's own personal strength, so instead of brandishing cloaks of fire she remains normally quite unchanged ability wise. Her weapon usage even means she understand little if any of her ability to extend her nails into claws, but the Nibi didn't leave her unblessed. Etsuko being the Nibi Jinchuuriki has granted her speed beyond most others. Her reaction timing most importantly being above par and even many elite jounin's capabilites. On top of her speed Etsuko has gained a larger chakra pool than most, but she can only tap it with Matabi's approval most of the time.

if i'm a danger to myself Just think what I could do to you Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku Taki Okada Takeuchi Rentaro @enri Asuka Waruichi Hōzuki Kyōka Jun Etsuko

Time continued to move forward, as it often did. And whilst maybe no one really noticed, but their prowling around in the darkness and fighting would yield only one result - dawn. The island was relatively small by most markers in Mizu no Kuni, but it was not tiny. The majority of the travels had taken the majority of the night, and now the combat that ensued between at least two pairs - one that had only just begun - was not instantaneous. Though, Asuka's and Etsuko's could be considered quite blisteringly fast. It was nothing to scoff at.

Kuni went out of her way to destroy a ration pack and place an explosion tag in that area. She would then begin to travel north towards the blue zone unknowingly.

Enri would smartly move away from the conflict, circling the area. Ultimately she would remain in the trees, as opposed to entering the precarious conflict-ridden beach. If she was careful in her search, she would find a ration pack IN a tree branch, but it would be a bit of a climb to get to.

Taki was moving West and unsummoned her ape. She could potentially see Kyouka's scouting mosquito. Pausing about mid-way through, the northern part of the purple zone to growl. She would notice a humanoid figure moving below her, not her growl grabbing its attention but rather her unique scent. The creature would snap its head up and move towards the tree to try and shake her out of it.

Unfortunately, Kyouka would appear as a puddle at first and then as a full-fledged humanoid, attacking the creature to totally destroy it. It would let out a horrifying screech before collapsing. It was fast, but could not measure up to an elite jounin. The mosquito was now trying to sneak up on Taki to cast a genjutsu, but if Taki had noticed it earlier perhaps it couldn't quite sneak up on her?

Rentaro just narrowly avoids both monsters, before summoning a wall to help with the bijuudama. It doesn't really totally nullify the blast, it instead spreads it just behind the wall annihilating the monsters and creating a huge crater as the energy redirects itself vertically. He throws down a smoke bomb and body flickers away into the forest from which Etsuko came.

Asuka, in the meantime, redirects her attack to Kyouka, flickering past the bijuudama towards Etsuko to begin an unforgiving onslaught. Etsuko defends against Asuka's onslaught. Launched into the air from Asuka's attacks, retaliating with her own attacks.

In real-time, as the beginning of dawn would arrive a horrible sound would pierce the air. Like the moaning and groaning of the siren from before, but more high-pitched. It did not necessarily affect anyone immediately, but something definitely changed.

Would they choose to continue fighting, or would they all take pause as the familiar playful voice broke through?

"Hm, hm, hm! Dawn already? How time flies when you're having fun, huh? HAHAHA! Oh shoot are some of you in the middle of something? WELL! I'll make it quick, huh? You see, originally this stage wouldn't be closing for until it became dark again. But you guys are such good sports, battling it out and all that, we thought we'd make it a little interesting. How does that sound?" There was a pause, once more giving a chance to stop and listen." The sound echoed before continuing.

"So! Congrats on surviving stage one - not Day One yet though so don't get ahead of yourself! Unfortunately, it only gets harder from here. Well, naturally. You must now find a way to reach the checkpoint at the center of our island! Except it's locked, to unlock you have to find the objective! Here's a lead - It can speak, its tongue tied to a ball, but it can not breathe, it has no lungs after all. As some of you may have realized, you could not cross the border into the other zones of the island. This restriction will be deactivated during the day. ” A small pause and then he continued.

"Welcome to Stage 2!"

Stage 2 Begins.

The voice would disappear, the buzzing of all electricity disappeared too. The shinobi were free to continue their fight - if they did not through the announcement - others might hide and find a place to relax. Perhaps some would focus on finding the objective to get off the island?

[Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku]

@ a lot

...

We're no hero inside, we're the monster you need.

Continuing forward, Kunikunosaku scanned her field of view periodically to not only try to figure out her location but to scout for any runners, deciding it was best to pick off the panicked and the injured first before going up against even fiercer opponents. The Mikatakujira didn't know who her opponents were or where their abilities scale compared to hers, yet, she needed a plan of action for the worst-case scenario. Ultimately, her best trump card could also prove to be her greatest liability. Her reliance of her abilities was a dual-edged blade, she had a good strength, one capable of destroying all of her opponents; but if she is sloppy even once, her boon could be a gateway to her torment and destruction.

Most of her plans revolve around continuous onslaughts, a steady stream to tear her opponents apart but that strategy only worked against a certain focus group of opponents. She knew she had to fight smarter, stealthier, faster if she wanted an inkling of a chance to complete success. At her current state and knowledge, she couldn't anticipate anything concrete, not even what she's up against even though one of them could potentially be her former sensei. She never fought against her full abilities, while she was an obvious opponent, Kunikunosaku had no clear way to even take her on alone.

She continued on before a familiar voice startled her back into a defensive battle stance, halting her progress forward. Dawn? Gotta move! The Kunoichi realized, taking off in the direction she was originally going, listening to the voice for the flash news of the moment. Stage 2, you mean that was one? Interesting. Kunikunosaku continued the way, she was eating time and couldn't risk her opponents a chance to recover. The mention of it getting harder brought a smile to the girl's face as she gripped the hilt of her dagger she had taken out earlier even tighter. However, the lead for the objective struck her oddly.

Is... is the objective me? Kuni thought as she slammed a hand against her chest, attempting to command the threads to move her hearts faster in the game of pong in her body. Wait, there were restrictions? Things began clicking pertaining to the slow start. At the end of the announcement, Kuni simply nodded her head as she kept her eyes forward. Well, time to make a name of myself. Kuni thought when Stage 2 began, now that the real event started, Kuni started moving at her uppermost limit, driven to see the end of FEAR.

SA(S) USED:
Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear

After having to recycle the roots that ended up killing the previous Apprentice just to transfer Jiongu to Kunikunosaku, the mass of black roots recollects most of its abilities from the Apprentice previous while forming new ones with its new master/host, Kunikunosaku. As far as the roots are concerned, like any organism, it desires to feed and survive, all else is not required, nor necessary to function. As for the Symbiotic Relationship benefits Kunikunosaku can control the thread-like roots however she wishes. The thread are quite versatile, acting much like surgical threads they can be used to sew up wounds stretch, or harden for attacks akin to squid tentacles, as well as being equally flexible and significantly dexterous. In time, Kunikunosaku will learn that as long as they keep a heart attached to at least some of the roots making up her body at all times, she is functionally immortal, only dying once all the threads are completely removed from any living hearts, and is unable to be poisoned. Because all of her vital organs and their corresponding systems are gone, Kunikunosaku has no need to breathe, eat, or sleep. The roots are sufficiently maintained by storing hearts that are pumping and living, in turn drawing sustenance from them. These roots also allow Kunikunosaku to utilize the inherent nature of any hearts she adds to their body, allowing them to perform jutsu of that element as if it was their natural affinity.

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism

After gaining knowledge on how Jiongu behaves and acts, Kunikunosaku developed a strong bond with the Jiongu entity. Accepting both live in her now; that both are what makes up Kunikunosaku. As a result of this understanding and bond, Jiongu aids her in combat - despite being a small boost. When conditions are met, Jiongu can provide an aided strength boost to Kunikunosaku during combat. It is still relative to her natural strength at the time. While this has no speed benefits, this boost of strength can put her up to par with the max strength of her peers at the same rank level. As she matures and gains new skills and new statuses. So too does her strength grow.

Symbiotic Bond: Strong Mind, Strong Body
As Kunikunosaku developed a stronger relationship with Jiongu, the creature bestowed Kunikunosaku an additional gift. That which is bestowed grants her the body as strong as her will. As long as she has the will to fight and keep pushing forward, Kunikunosaku has attained a sense of a strong body. She can still feel all the pain she receives, however, her will will push through it; literally making her body push through the pain and maintain functionality despite the egregious wounds she may receive. Overwhelming pain at one time or other will breaking input can debilitate the girl's will-driven tolerance to falter to the degree of an average shinobi, opening her up to common pain. It is this will that allows her to force the tendrils/roots/threads to repair themselves from injury or stitch back together. This will increases with her skill as she becomes more confident and driven to satiate both her needs and Jiongu's.

Power of a God:
After a great time learning how to control Jiongu, Kunikunosaku has learned to store chakra in each of her threads so long as they continue to be attached to at least one of her hearts. This extra storage capacity allows the girl to amass greater amounts of chakra within herself, expanding her reserves beyond that of the normal shinobi her rank. As with many other abilities, this ability continues to grow as the girl does through the ranks and years.

Cursed Master:

As a reward for attaining a greater deal of control over her symbiotic relationship with Jiongu, Kunikunosaku acquired the keys to the gate of mastering her abilities. This new boon allows Kunikunosaku to double the impact of her EGF ninjutsu. In addition, a passive boon is the ability to completely negate Jiongu's manipulation to consume more hearts. These boons together allow Kuni to further manipulate Jiongu against its basic natures, improving her unique utilization. While still young and unrefined, the ability is expected to grow as their bond deepens to even further levels.

[attr="class","enri"]The woman’s search seemed to not be in vain. She reached upward, spotting a bag that seemed quite full that had been wedged between the branches of a tree. She remained up high, searching its contents. Water and food. That was a good start. The match kit did her little good, but she took it with odd appreciation. She wouldn’t likely get cold due to her heritage, and the ration bars wouldn’t need to be cooked. You never knew, however, and with monsters running about she perhaps the light would be its greatest use.

Enri quietly unpacked the bag, separating its contents into her shinobi pouch. The kunai would certainly come in handy. The water would likely weigh her down even more, but she couldn’t afford to not have it on person. She took careful sips, wanting to save as much of it as she could manage. She didn’t know how long she would be here. She also quietly ate a third of the ration bar, folding it over before placing it in her bag. Right now, things seemed to be calmed down in her area, and she didn’t know when she would have a safe time to eat or drink again.

Enri would hear a piercingly loud noise disturb the silence in the air. Unfamiliar to the loud pitch, Enri lowered her stance in a defensive response. A familiar voice blared all around her once again. It gave hints in the form of riddles. Enri took a moment to repeat the riddle, breaking apart its pieces to try and figure out just what he was saying. She didn’t manage to break it right away, but she wouldn’t forget it, either.

Her intentions now would be to find the center of the island. In the Butai, she’d gone long hours without sleep. This would be nothing as of right now. Enri sped off, keeping careful watch of her surroundings. She didn’t want to bump into anyone who may be looking for a fight. Though, a part of her knew that a fight would likely be necessary before long.

A loser like you ain't got no guts!

As the youth stayed up in the trees she’d keep her stance as the mosquito’s buzzing would get somewhat louder but she paid it no mind as she kept her eyes focused down on the woman below her. "Wait a sec is zat?” the girl would take a closer look at the human-like figure and would see the puddle of water formulate into the shape of a woman. "No way…” after seeing the woman would drop down from her perch and do her best to try and make a break for it.

She’d seen her fight before and wasn’t going to risk taking a chance at fighting someone with a blade like that, it made mince meat of the monster and she didn’t wanna be next. "Hey I don’t like this…but dat chick she’s…crazy.” the girl would think to herself. Her body would kick into gear adrenaline and fear pushing her forward. She wasn’t fully sure where she was heading east, moving as fast as her body could carry her.

The emotions caused her sage chakra to fluctuate but she needed to remember her teachings and remain calm but with the fear in the pit of her stomach it was hard to do. As she trekked forward she’d remove a small vail from her jacket pocket and would pour a small amount of it’s contents into her mouth as she moved and after keeping it trapped in her mouth as her foot touched the next branch with a clear path she'd body flicker forward through the trees until touching safe ground. Upon heading out she'd overhear the announcement it seemed like things were about to get even wilder and she hadn't found a ration pack or scored any points it's been a real bust thus far for the girl.

MOVMENT TECHNIQUES:

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.

[Takeuchi Rentaro]

Rentaro had managed to successfully leave the place. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have minded fighting his first opponent, but there was no way in hell he would be willing to fight a jinchuuriki, especially this early on. Even if he could possibly keep up with Etsuko in battle, and even with his chakra reserves he would've inevitably run out of chakra due to overusing his Sharingan. He was already experienced as to what happened if he overused it, which resulted in him having to spend the rest of the day on a bed. It wasn't nice and he would prefer it if he could avoid it.

Now that he was on a safe distance away from the two enemies he took a moment to recollect himself. The first thing he did was to take his eyepatch from his pocket and put it back on into his left eye to cover his Sharingan. A few moments later he paid attention to the sound of the voice that echoed through the entire island. The announcement marked the end of Stage 1 of the FEAR Event, now things are going to get more difficult. Now that the voice disappeared it only left Rentaro thinking, he had to get to the center of the island which was not a problem now. However, it was locked, so now he had to solve the riddle. Something that didn't breathe, but was still capable of talking. One of his first thoughts was those monsters he encountered earlier, he could hardly even consider them living beings at this point.

He figured that many of the participants would head towards the center of the island right away after the announcement. Rentaro had the same idea, but it was too obvious to do something like that. The man still had plans to head towards the center, after all, that was the objective, but for now, he decided to move towards the South West, not directly towards the center. For now, he wanted to focus his efforts on at least finding a ration pack to eat something and regain a bit of chakra. So Rentaro continued to move down the forest, southwest, wary of his surroundings as he likely wasn't the only shinobi on the move right now.

Rentaro covered his Sharingan and is now moving towards the southwest looking for a ration pack.

SAs:

Genius Intellect
From a young age, Rentaro has demonstrated to have a high level of intelligence. Although, lacking aptitude in ninjutsu when he was young. He was able to understand ninjutsu theory with ease and has proven to be able to discover possible applications through its knowledge. Scoring the highest in Academy written exams without any issues. Always keeping track of people's mannerisms, strengths, and weaknesses. His remarkable intellect allows him to be several steps ahead of his enemy. Due to this, he is able to see through deceptions and elaborated lies that may fool the average person. He believes that one should get to know their friends, but get to know their enemies even more.

Using tactics that would otherwise be considered be rare and unconventional, is due to the fact he has spent quite some time studying multiple types of combat theory. His intelligence tends to shine through elaborated plans, where he takes into consideration the enemy's strength and the strength of his allies. Followed by resources, time, and other external factors in order to determine the best course of action to deal with the enemy. His strategic thinking mainly relies on small, but quick victories in order to reduce the amount of burnout of his forces and keep the use of resources to a minimum.

Chakra Tank
Rentaro has always possessed high amounts of chakra. One of the reasons why he struggled with ninjutsu from a young age was due to his inherently large chakra pool. Which made it hard for him to initially use jutsus efficiently. Due to the high amount of chakra, he possesses he is able to fight for long periods of time and use multiple jutsus simultaneously without getting tired. This gives him a higher amount of endurance compared to the average Shinobi.

Sharingan
The famed dojutsu of the Uchiha Clan, an ability very few people can achieve. Although, Rentaro isn't an Uchiha, due to the fact that the eye was transplanted to him from a young age. He was able to access the abilities of the Uchiha Clan's dojutsu, despite not having Uchiha blood in his veins. This increases his perception, awareness, and reaction time. Allowing him to read the movements of his opponents and copy any jutsu that is performed by a Shinobi. He has access to all the abilities of the Sharingan.

The Sharingan is truly Rentaro's greatest asset in a battle, but it also acts as a double-edged sword. Due to the fact that he has no Uchiha blood, it means that the usage of chakra for using the Sharingan is much higher compared to the amount of chakra an Uchiha would require to keep it active. Aside from that, Rentaro is unable to deactivate the Sharingan, so it's constantly active. Because of this, he is forced to cover his eye with a black eye patch to prevent the eye from draining his chakra. Through extensive training and battle experience, Rentaro has access to the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Enhanced Agility
Rentaro possesses agility that makes him excel in combat, allowing him to move faster than the eye can see with relative ease. This is the result of his extensive training to improve his agility to complement his Sharingan's ability that increases the user's perception and reaction time. Because it doesn't matter if you can see the enemy's movements if you aren't agile enough to dodge them and counter-attack them.

Purple Lightning
A rare ability to use Purple Lightning, through studying ninjutsu and chakra nature theory, Rentaro learned to use a much more powerful version of lightning. Just like the name suggests, he is able to generate purple electricity in some of his jutsus that have increased power. Rentaro normally uses this to engage enemies from a distance.

[Asuka Waruichi]

JUST REMEMBER , ANYONE CAN MAKE A FIST

While her kicks were successful the youth wasn’t ready for the flames that had burned from off the of the woman’s body her chakra was massive unlike anything she’d ever seen but be that as it may given the burns that were fanning her clothes and the immediate danger from the Jinchuriki's impending attack, she’d roll away from both the anchored arm into into the sand in order to quell the flames by rolling on the ground, and if she managed to do so upon standing she would craft a few hand seals and would allow some of the cloth in her back pocket to re-stitch he clothes back into fighting form.

But as she finished and prepared for her next move she’d overhear the announcement and hear the riddle attempting to pay attention, while keeping her focus on the jinchuriki who more than likely was planning on keeping up the attack and with her bandages slightly weaker than before she couldn’t take as much as before hand.

"That riddle, what does it mean…?” locking eyes with the Jinchuriki she’d take a moment to think Asuka realized that she wouldn’t be able to keep a fight going for long given the powers that her adversary had. And with the amount of chakra she had there was no way it could last for long, thinking quickly she’d dash off with her left foot moving away from the beast and would attempt to escape from the creature, crafting a series of handseals as she began her escape heading to the north.

REQUIREMENT: Any form of Wariuchi Silk

DESCRIPTION:
After crafting 3 handseals the user can use some of the battle ready silk within their inventory in order to repair damage done to their Waruichi Outfits. However the level of repair is dependent on the rank of the silk used to stich the cloth back together. So if a Waruichi were to wear a B rank outfit but only had C-rank battle ready silk the outfits effectiveness would be less than normally intended.

Summary:

Asuka would be caught in the mist and would attempt to strike out at the young girl using the [Silken Fist: Counter Blow] but due to her uncertainty of where to strike her follow through was poor and may or may not have hit her target. However in the process of doing so she was caught with a strike to the gut by her opponent and pushed further into the mist for now she awaits her opponents next move.

Heavy Handed Iron Fist:
With the rigorous training that Asuka had to endure as she honed her body to levels of perfection rivaling that of any martial arts master. Asuka's strength has increased 10 fold to the point where she is able to crush stoned within her grasp and breaks bones of lesser individuals with ease. And while she still has much to learn as a chunin. The youth's power is not one to be challenged lightly, as she is able to perform physical feats that would seem inhuman to even most shinobi.

Hijutsu: Kinu no Eikyō:
Asuka is a member of the Waruichi clan and as such has the ability to control a special chakra infused silk that was forged by a special group of silkworms that feed on the corpses of dead clansmen. With it Asuka can craft and shape the silk to her will and uses it in a mostly supplementary fashion to aid her in battle alongside her powerful taijutsu skills.

Iron Burst:
As a sole practitioner of Taijutsu Asuka has relentlessly pushed her body against itself for spectacular results: her strength carries over into her speed, and as such alongside the control she exerts body in spirit and in mind, she is intensely faster than those of a similar level of strength and maneuvering expertly as if the air were an extension of her own body.

A Disciplined Iron Bull:
During Asuka's time as a genin the youth had begun to realize that in order to excel as a shinobi she needed to learn how to properly utilize her chakra. And while she doesn't posses the greatest of reserves the youth has learned through rigorous meditation how to keep her chakra still and calm. As a result she is now able to wield it with a great deal of control and is able to channel only the necessary amounts of chakra into the few jutsu she uses in order to make the most of their abilities whilst still being able to keep up in a fight.

[Hōzuki Kyōka]

We are violence The creature wasn't even strong enough to put up any sort of fight, and with one strong swing of Uemori, Kyouka destroyed it. She scoffed at that and looked up. Sanji had failed to approach in time to capture the girl in a Genjutsu and looked very frustrated, afraid of Kyouka's disappointment, which was visible in her expression, but before she could decide if it was worth it chasing the brat or not, an announcement came up. "Stage 2, uh? Seems some people have been busy. I need to pick it up." she said to herself, then she glanced over to the mosquito. "Sanji, it's not worth it to chase that girl for now, leave it. Let's focus on the objective." she said, and the mosquito nodded in relief, now that he was off the hook. When faced with the riddle, she frowned her brows. "Intriguing... I don't think it's a living creature. I need to think, but in the meantime..." and with that in mind, Kyouka signed to Sanji to scout ahead, heading north towards the centre of the island, keeping his eyes open to any threads that would be in the way, or any useful tools he could see from up above. Kyouka followed him at a moderate pace, heading all the way north to the centre of the island, while trying to figure out what the riddle meant. and this is hell @Jun Etsuko 247 words Heading North

made by eden @ gs and thq

[Jun Etsuko]

Etsuko had been given a hint of the potential of her opponents, but clearly it was simply that a hint. As her failed attempt to grab her opponents attack wouldn't truly be a total failure. Her opponent caught in the flames would rollout and other than trying to fix her outfit she'd go straight for running. A look of disapproval on her face, as she'd be once again shown the cowardice of those aligned to her village. She certainly wasn't too interested in the 'challenge' of the event, she'd come here for the free for all that'd test a shinobi's bravery.

Well more importantly the interest was brave shinobi worthy of challenging her. She could try chasing the heavy hitter or perhaps give that cooperating shinobi a run for their money. She roughly had an idea of where both of them had gone, but she was very disappointed in... Kirigakure? She'd seen only Kirigakure shinobi so far, at least she'd think that's what she saw from the relatively overly fast paced combat. Oh, well this was maybe turning into espionage territory? She was learning about the shinobi of the other villages. A duty once wanted of her in blackops, but one that never quite fit her style.

She'd let this shinobi like the other simply leave, but with the goal possibly being the center. Etsuko could only hope there'd be more brave shinobi that way and if not maybe a monster worth her time to kill. Once again in a blur of bright blue movement, Sonic the Hedgehog the two tails jinchuuriki would be off towards the center of the island. She wouldn't stop this time though, as to avoid someone attempting to take advantage of her relative ease to find and her relative difficulty to detect the unseen.

Jutsu:

Chakra Shroud [1 Tail]
Etsuko: In the event of a tailed form being obtained something has to of clearly gone wrong. Etsuko can control herself in an enhanced state like the 1 Tail shroud, but she can only obtain this power if Matabi offers it to her. Matabi isn't doling out chakra on a regular basis though, if Matabi feels Etsuko's enemy is beyond her Human potential, then she'll offer power to Etsuko, but typically only the amount of power needed. Etsuko's one tail cloak appears like a denser blanket of blue flame around her body, it's less ghostly and behind Etsuko is now one fluffy neko tail of sapphire blue fire. Matabi's cloak in one tailed form allows Etsuko almost twice the boost to speed as her no tail cloak, it allows her to effectively be swift while still using a more Katon based combat style. However the flames are also hotter now and weapons often start to sizzle in grip and prolonged combat with them seem to almost double their durability lost. Another reason Etsuko carries her Seven Katana's sometimes an extra arm or two never hurt. Etsuko also gains the ability to wield one blade from her chakra cloak tail, Etsuko's chakra cloak isn't capable of expanding or morphin, beyond it's initial shape.

Chakra Shroud [2 Tail]
Etsuko: In the situation of a trap or a fight between those clearly beyond Etsuko's regular Bukijutsu, as well as beyond being able to pacify with a one tailed releases aid. The difference between Etsuko's first and second tailed release is the flames which cloak her now burn brightly like a living flame than a chakra veil, it appears to be a denser flame around her clothes, so that her facial and human physical features are still noticeable. The obvious second tail is added to Etsuko's back side, she'll often arm both tails with a katana, as despite not being able to extend her chakra cloak freely, Etsuko is now able to encase her weapons in the Nibi's Cloak. Englufed by the chakra the weapons no longer wear like in the first tailed form, but the weapons now encased with chakra lose their cutting edge, but gain a hotter, stronger strike instead. The speed boost granted by the second cloak allows Etsuko to move at the pace of her S-rank, as well as gives her the kicking force to lunge or jump as far as one stride of Matabi in her full release form. Faster and Stronger, Etsuko gains the ability to take on stacked odds with a greater ease, but it'd only be against those stacked odds she'd be allowed this power.

Weighted Training #2
Relying almost entirely upon her CQC skills Etsuko doesn't take her training lightly, she in order to improve her natural strength as well her human speed, has spent the past nine years weight training with a specially designed cloak. In lesser situations she'll even wear the cloak into combat, as it's material is quite durable and the weights hidden inside it act as armor. Half of the weights in her cloak have been broken due to her wearing it into battle, though she's made it habit to remove the cloak before winning a fight. It being an all white cloak she dislikes it getting blood, but once removed the girls speed seems to double and the fact she can wear the cloak all day unhindered, she also free's up enough carrying strength to carry her whole team once the cloaks removed.

Amazing Swordplay #4
Etsuko had trained long with a katana as it was traditional a genin start with base weapons like a standard blade, however proving she was beyond the weapon in recent years hasn't stopped her from wielding them. Her speed beyond most allowed her even to beat a highly skilled samurai in her youth, she didn't devastate the samurai, but she proved her inherit blade skills and past training turned into into the amazing sword artist. She now carries seven Katana's which she can fight until their destruction, or as she prefers to do, throw them as if they were kunai. Etsuko never felt the killing potential behind a kunai or shuriken, so in her recent years and acquired strength she'd just about nailed down the art of whipping a sword as if it were meant to be a thrown projectile.

Nibi Jinchuuriki #5
Etsuko is well known in her village for being the Nibi Jinchuuriki, her eyes are that of the cats and her hair naturally stands in two cats ears at the top of her head. Even as a child without any ability to call upon she was noticed for her kitty similarities. Etsuko however has been mostly in denial of her potential power limits, even knowing Matabi as a giant chakra structure Etsuko has always seen the two-tails as more of an idol or friend, than a means of power. Her natural element feeding Nibi's flame but not being Etsuko's own personal strength, so instead of brandishing cloaks of fire she remains normally quite unchanged ability wise. Her weapon usage even means she understand little if any of her ability to extend her nails into claws, but the Nibi didn't leave her unblessed. Etsuko being the Nibi Jinchuuriki has granted her speed beyond most others. Her reaction timing most importantly being above par and even many elite jounin's capabilites. On top of her speed Etsuko has gained a larger chakra pool than most, but she can only tap it with Matabi's approval most of the time.

if i'm a danger to myself Just think what I could do to you Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku Taki Okada Takeuchi Rentaro @enri Asuka Waruichi Hōzuki Kyōka Jun Etsuko

The morning would roll on with everyone quitting their fighting - some disappointed by this, others not so much - for something else entirely. The majority now focuses on the objective, though no one had figured out the riddle yet which was vital to being able to exit.

Kuni would continue moving up the map, hitting the blue section of the map somewhere along the way. At this point, dawn would turn into a more full-blown morning. As she moved, she would likely see or feel if she focused on her heartbeats, that nearby was another shinobi - Rentaro.

Enri now with some of her ration pack, allocates it to several spots on her person, consuming a bit of it before she starts making her way methodically towards the center of the island, straight into the black zone.

Taki makes a break for it away from Kyouka, who lets her go, she manages to avoid the genjutsu - by random chance mostly - body flickering further west with no attempt at cracking the riddle. She's ever closer to the yellow zone with her travels west... But before she's able to continue, some way's down a voice would call to her a little ways away.

"Hey... Hey, help me..." Would she stop or keep going?

Rentaro recovers from the battle a little bit away before beginning his movement southwest from his position, incoming straight to where Kuni is moving into the blue zone. The two cross paths within each other's line of sight. Rentaro can likely makeout the sheep house some ways away from where Kuni had just been.

Asuka tries to put out the fires via sand, more or less successful in her attempt. Then makes a dash for it away from Etsuko heading north for the red zone, that once she hits - if she does not stray - she will see a very long building with a tower nestled within many tall pine trees. A chapel?

Kyouka lets Taki go completely, sending her mosquito to scout overhead whilst heading north straight for the center. Kyouka a little bit behind. Her mosquito would reach the center first, but find there is a raiton barrier - that if it's not careful it would hit - and absolutely no way to get through. There was a gate here though, not that there was a way to get out or through it now. Kyouka would find a bright blue light here as well... A flame.

Etsuko would let Asuka escape before barreling towards the center, in essence, she would arrive at the center first but Kyouka would be present not long after. It is possible that they never cross paths if Etsuko determines the center not useful, and leaves it prior to Kyouka's arrival.

All of those moving towards the center or are at the center will find that the trees here seem to die and thin out until they are walking on nothing more than water. The centermost tower is sitting on a lake. The sun shining from the East.

Furthermore, as everyone sets off on this new adventure, they will find that unlike before where there were monsters coming out... And that there were no monsters out currently. The ones killed, if returned to the spot well there would only be noticeable blood splattering where they had been otherwise no corpse as proof remained.

Perhaps it would take them one more round to figure out where the or what the objective was, hm?

Kyouka moves for the center, making it a bit after Etsuko does. Etsuko runs for the center.

OWL

[Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku]

@ a lot

Let's play~

We're no hero inside, we're the monster you need.

The Kunoichi continued her stride forward, expression becoming duller with each moment she didn't see a target to strike. It didn't deter her, however, she didn't really enjoy the fact it was so tranquil. The Mikatakujira didn't want to keep running, yet, she knew doing this had the most optimal chance of success. At least, that was the hope anyway. She focused even more on her surrounding, a chance to pick up what she may have missed. Silence and foliage only greeted her. The Chūnin wasn't too distraught but she learned that violence was indeed something that brought her joy. And her ears perked at the faintest of beats.

About time someone was near. The Mikatkujira only adjusted her path slightly to follow the direction where she noticed something was amiss. Kunikunosaku readied herself for what was to come, she couldn't gauge beyond they were alive and that was all she really needed to know. Well someone's time had to run ou- ... Wait, time. Tongue tied to balls... a pendulum? It can speak. Makes a noise, alarm? No lungs... no living organs... Is it a clock? Kunikunosaku slowed when the faint beat rattled her brain. Kunikunosaku didn't wait any longer, weaving 3 quick seals to wisps of burning ash 50 meters in every radial direction of her. Kuni weaved a fourth to cause the balls to start burning far more intensely as she looked for the source of the beat.

Seeing a man whose trajectory was toward her direction, Kuni did not hesitate the weave another seal, sending all the wisps of ash to her opponent. As they raced to the man, Kuni followed up with the last seals, feeding them enough chakra to grow in instability, radiance, and danger. Upon the wisps surround the man, all the wisps exploded in a chain reaction close to him. The Mikatakujira simply watched and waited.

"Please just fall over and die, I'd rather you get a quick and painless demise." The Kunoichi stated as she fold her arms over her chest, looking towards the explosion of ash in pure disgust.

SA(S) USED:
Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear

After having to recycle the roots that ended up killing the previous Apprentice just to transfer Jiongu to Kunikunosaku, the mass of black roots recollects most of its abilities from the Apprentice previous while forming new ones with its new master/host, Kunikunosaku. As far as the roots are concerned, like any organism, it desires to feed and survive, all else is not required, nor necessary to function. As for the Symbiotic Relationship benefits Kunikunosaku can control the thread-like roots however she wishes. The thread are quite versatile, acting much like surgical threads they can be used to sew up wounds stretch, or harden for attacks akin to squid tentacles, as well as being equally flexible and significantly dexterous. In time, Kunikunosaku will learn that as long as they keep a heart attached to at least some of the roots making up her body at all times, she is functionally immortal, only dying once all the threads are completely removed from any living hearts, and is unable to be poisoned. Because all of her vital organs and their corresponding systems are gone, Kunikunosaku has no need to breathe, eat, or sleep. The roots are sufficiently maintained by storing hearts that are pumping and living, in turn drawing sustenance from them. These roots also allow Kunikunosaku to utilize the inherent nature of any hearts she adds to their body, allowing them to perform jutsu of that element as if it was their natural affinity.

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism

After gaining knowledge on how Jiongu behaves and acts, Kunikunosaku developed a strong bond with the Jiongu entity. Accepting both live in her now; that both are what makes up Kunikunosaku. As a result of this understanding and bond, Jiongu aids her in combat - despite being a small boost. When conditions are met, Jiongu can provide an aided strength boost to Kunikunosaku during combat. It is still relative to her natural strength at the time. While this has no speed benefits, this boost of strength can put her up to par with the max strength of her peers at the same rank level. As she matures and gains new skills and new statuses. So too does her strength grow.

Symbiotic Bond: Strong Mind, Strong Body
As Kunikunosaku developed a stronger relationship with Jiongu, the creature bestowed Kunikunosaku an additional gift. That which is bestowed grants her the body as strong as her will. As long as she has the will to fight and keep pushing forward, Kunikunosaku has attained a sense of a strong body. She can still feel all the pain she receives, however, her will will push through it; literally making her body push through the pain and maintain functionality despite the egregious wounds she may receive. Overwhelming pain at one time or other will breaking input can debilitate the girl's will-driven tolerance to falter to the degree of an average shinobi, opening her up to common pain. It is this will that allows her to force the tendrils/roots/threads to repair themselves from injury or stitch back together. This will increases with her skill as she becomes more confident and driven to satiate both her needs and Jiongu's.

Power of a God:
After a great time learning how to control Jiongu, Kunikunosaku has learned to store chakra in each of her threads so long as they continue to be attached to at least one of her hearts. This extra storage capacity allows the girl to amass greater amounts of chakra within herself, expanding her reserves beyond that of the normal shinobi her rank. As with many other abilities, this ability continues to grow as the girl does through the ranks and years.

Cursed Master:

As a reward for attaining a greater deal of control over her symbiotic relationship with Jiongu, Kunikunosaku acquired the keys to the gate of mastering her abilities. This new boon allows Kunikunosaku to double the impact of her EGF ninjutsu. In addition, a passive boon is the ability to completely negate Jiongu's manipulation to consume more hearts. These boons together allow Kuni to further manipulate Jiongu against its basic natures, improving her unique utilization. While still young and unrefined, the ability is expected to grow as their bond deepens to even further levels.

RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: 3
REQUIREMENTS: Katon: Shikai
DESCRIPTION:
Developed from Katon: Shikai after doing the handseals the user channels chakra to create numerous floating wisps of burning ash in a diameter of one hundred meters. The size of the wisp is about the size of a golf ball and after being created they don’t do anything more than just float in the position they have appeared in. Since they are made of burning ash touching them could cause minor burn though the special thing about them is that after doing another hand seals the user could ignite them and make them burn hotter allowing them to cause up to second agree burns.



NAME: Hotaru no mure [Firefly Swarm]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: 1
REQUIREMENTS: Hotaru no atsumari [Firefly Gathering] or Hotaru no seichou [Firefly Growth]
DESCRIPTION:
A simple jutsu that when activated as long as the user has the target within eyesight or is able to sense their chakra signature makes the wisps of ash from Firefly Gathering or Firefly Growth home in on the target and float around them.



NAME: Hotaru no Bakuhatsu [Firefly Detonate]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: 2
REQUIREMENTS: Hotaru no atsumari [Firefly Gathering]
DESCRIPTION:
The jutsu allows the user to feed more chakra into the wisp of ash making them unstable and gain an increasingly reddish glow. This causes after a short moment for them to detonate in a small explosion. Due to the size of them each wisp when exploding only deals minor damage and burns when it connects with a target more so if they were previously ignited.

[attr="class","enri"]As Enri made her way towards the center of the island, she continued to ponder on the riddle she had been given. She would be the first to admit this was something very out of the norm, and her line of work often had a straightforward approach except when it came to having to essentially think like the enemies she would try to hunt. She repeated the words over and over again to herself, hoping that by doing so she could further unlock the clue.

"It can speak. Tongue tied to a ball. It cannot breathe. No lungs.” She repeated this several times before shaking her head.

"Nothing’s ringing a bell,” she would think to herself, following immediately by a very annoyed look on her face.

The answer was a bell.

But what did that mean? What did a bell have to do with anything? So, then, did she need to find a bell? The voice over the intercom had made it sound like it was the key to opening the checkpoint in the center of the island. If that was the case, it wouldn’t do her any good to head straight towards the Black Zone just yet…she needed to find this key to opening the gate, so to speak.

There were several zones. How many she didn’t know exactly, but she would only be able to change zones during the day. She would need to choose carefully, and there didn’t seem to be any hint as to WHERE this bell would be. If that was the case, then she would just have to take a guess, as much as she hated it.

Enri paused to think, hunkering lower, still very cautious of her surroundings.

There didn’t seem to be a way around it outside of sitting and waiting for someone with a bell to show at the Black Zone, something that didn’t sit will with her. Having an eye in the sky was out of the questions, at least during the night. With Hei already being injured, she didn’t want to put another one of her summons at risk. She would beat herself up for it took much.

The decision was made. She would search for the bell herself, but she would start by heading to the center of the island. Others would also likely be headed inward. Enri wasn’t one to pick a fight, but at this point…maybe she would have to if it meant getting home to Shoyo.

A loser like you ain't got no guts!

As the girl made her way and touched down on the ground she’d hear out the riddle and think on it for a moment. "C’mon…that’s uhh…” after a moment the girl would think about it ding ding ding. Oh if she only knew. "Wait, that sounds like…uhhh…” she was pretty stumped but before she had a chance to really come to any further of a conclusion she’d overhear the sounds of someone asking her for help.

It came from a shadowy place and the girl herself wouldn’t be able to tell what was beyond there, she’d contemplate the idea of approaching the shadows but wasn’t sure if it was the best idea, but could she really just ignore someone asking for help? The girl was conflicted but her good nature caused her to cautiously step forward towards whatever was coming her way.

However she’d keep her mist ready in the back of her throat, on the off chance that the person in question had anything funny planned. She wasn’t about to let him get anyone get the jump on her. But after everything she’d seen was this truly the best idea?

[Takeuchi Rentaro]

Rentaro continued going, and the first thing he spotted was a sheep house, which didn't give him confidence. After all, the last house he spotted had some creepy monsters within it and it could very well be the case in this scenario. He didn't let the sheep house get his attention as he continued to look at his surroundings. A part of his mind was also attempting to figure out the riddle, could it be something that made a noise, but wasn't alive. The closest thing that came to his mind was an alarm or a signal of sorts, he just needed to focus.

However, a few moments later he heard something in the distance, he wasn't sure if it was one of those monsters or another person. Rentaro didn't have the time to figure out what it was, for the time being, so he swiftly removed his eyepatch yet again, revealing his Sharingan. His enhanced perception and ability to see chakra managed to warn him from the danger, a group of wisps were coming to him and to make matter worse they were heading in his direction. He performed a few hand seals and placed his hands on the ground, quickly building a rising wall of oozing mud that separated him from the incoming wisps that were about to explode. The mud would help him lessen the damage from the incoming wisps, but given it was coming from multiple directions the quickest option was to stand his ground, he figured by now that it was a jutsu from an opponent.

While he waited behind the wall out of mud he performed additional hand seals, as a clone made out of rock formed right beside him. For the time being, he needed a decoy to throw off his enemy and gain the upper hand. Rentaro waited for a few moments before ordering his Rock Clone to run off towards his left to give the impression that he was trying to run away from his opponent. He hoped his decoy works and if it does then it meant he could prepare himself to counter-attack. It could also give him the idea of the type of person he's going up against depending on how they react.

Rentaro uncovered his Sharingan once again and went into defensive.

Just Used:

NAME: Doton: Dobakutate [Earth Release: Earth Blast Shield]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Doton
DESCRIPTION:
A relatively simple but useful technique, the user will quickly build a rising wall of thick oozing mud between themselves and an explosion. The weight of the dense liquid significantly reduces the impact, plus due to the more spaced out particles of liquids, rather than solids, the explosion effectively becomes harmless to those behind the mud-covered areas, usually causing said people to be covered in mud.

Name: Iwa Bunshin no Jutsu - [Rock Clone Technique]
Rank: C
Chakra Usage: Medium
Type: Ninjutsu [General]
Element: Doton
HANDSEALS: 1
Description
Iwa Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu that utilizes rock to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Iwa Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. If the Iwa Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural rock state. It should be noted however, out of all of the elemental clones the Iwa Bunshin is the most difficult to destroy, often taking extreme amounts of force or raiton techniques to destroy it.

SAs:

Genius Intellect
From a young age, Rentaro has demonstrated to have a high level of intelligence. Although, lacking aptitude in ninjutsu when he was young. He was able to understand ninjutsu theory with ease and has proven to be able to discover possible applications through its knowledge. Scoring the highest in Academy written exams without any issues. Always keeping track of people's mannerisms, strengths, and weaknesses. His remarkable intellect allows him to be several steps ahead of his enemy. Due to this, he is able to see through deceptions and elaborated lies that may fool the average person. He believes that one should get to know their friends, but get to know their enemies even more.

Using tactics that would otherwise be considered be rare and unconventional, is due to the fact he has spent quite some time studying multiple types of combat theory. His intelligence tends to shine through elaborated plans, where he takes into consideration the enemy's strength and the strength of his allies. Followed by resources, time, and other external factors in order to determine the best course of action to deal with the enemy. His strategic thinking mainly relies on small, but quick victories in order to reduce the amount of burnout of his forces and keep the use of resources to a minimum.

Chakra Tank
Rentaro has always possessed high amounts of chakra. One of the reasons why he struggled with ninjutsu from a young age was due to his inherently large chakra pool. Which made it hard for him to initially use jutsus efficiently. Due to the high amount of chakra, he possesses he is able to fight for long periods of time and use multiple jutsus simultaneously without getting tired. This gives him a higher amount of endurance compared to the average Shinobi.

Sharingan
The famed dojutsu of the Uchiha Clan, an ability very few people can achieve. Although, Rentaro isn't an Uchiha, due to the fact that the eye was transplanted to him from a young age. He was able to access the abilities of the Uchiha Clan's dojutsu, despite not having Uchiha blood in his veins. This increases his perception, awareness, and reaction time. Allowing him to read the movements of his opponents and copy any jutsu that is performed by a Shinobi. He has access to all the abilities of the Sharingan.

The Sharingan is truly Rentaro's greatest asset in a battle, but it also acts as a double-edged sword. Due to the fact that he has no Uchiha blood, it means that the usage of chakra for using the Sharingan is much higher compared to the amount of chakra an Uchiha would require to keep it active. Aside from that, Rentaro is unable to deactivate the Sharingan, so it's constantly active. Because of this, he is forced to cover his eye with a black eye patch to prevent the eye from draining his chakra. Through extensive training and battle experience, Rentaro has access to the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Enhanced Agility
Rentaro possesses agility that makes him excel in combat, allowing him to move faster than the eye can see with relative ease. This is the result of his extensive training to improve his agility to complement his Sharingan's ability that increases the user's perception and reaction time. Because it doesn't matter if you can see the enemy's movements if you aren't agile enough to dodge them and counter-attack them.

Purple Lightning
A rare ability to use Purple Lightning, through studying ninjutsu and chakra nature theory, Rentaro learned to use a much more powerful version of lightning. Just like the name suggests, he is able to generate purple electricity in some of his jutsus that have increased power. Rentaro normally uses this to engage enemies from a distance.
