Patch Up

"Woah! Woah! It's ok! It's ok Uriko! I'm a Mission Hound. I get nicked and bashed up all the time! I'm fine honest!" Azarea assured the wailing girl having never really been good with the waterworks. Her face showing that abject terror of someone who themselves had never received much in the way of comfort and now was attempting to improvise offering the same to someone else in emotional distress.

"Look! I'll uh... I'll go sit down on that stump and peel my jumpsuit off and you can take a look at my back and patch me up a little. Then we'll just scout the area a bit and head back. I know this mission should have taken two days, but really they just wanted us to make sure the area is clear and we've done our jobs. No need to worry." She explained holding her hands up palms out as she tries to calm the other woman before very quickly going and grabbing a seat on the stump as she undoes the zipper on her jumpsuit pulling it down till and shedding the sleeves as she ties them about her waist leaving her bare skinned saved her chest bindings as she turns to let Uriko inspect the damage.

Thankfully for all the jacket had died a horrendous death it had done Azarea one last service. Though the area was very red and rapidly turning ugly colors with bruising and a possible fracture to her shoulder blade the strike hadn't broken the skin from the initial look of things.

Uriko was mildly surprised at Azarea's response to her alarm; if this had been a less critical situation, the green-haired girl would have probably even laughed. It seemed the Kumo nin was not particularly used to people showing much care, which Uriko thought was a pity. Everyone was supposed to have someone that would worry to death over them; there was no one in the world who was fine with not being cared for, even if some people were good at hiding that natural desire. And for Uriko, her worry was intensified by guilt at having been indirectly responsible for Azarea's injury, even though it was arguably not her fault.

In any case, the Kumo Genin's offer to sit down and let Uriko check her over was enough to mollify the worrying girl. Again, Uriko would have laughed, if she hadn't considered the situation to be serious, due to the speed with which Azarea moved over to the log and seated herself, like the tough Kumo nin was scared of being doted over. Uriko quietly got behind her and examined the injury. There was no broken skin, though there was a bit of subcutaneous bleeding, which fortunately would clear after some days. There was the possibility of broken bones, though, and Uriko did not want to take chances with not properly discerning the nature and extent of Azarea's injuries. She gently placed two fingers on Azarea's shoulder. "Ikkou Gazou!" For a moment, she was quiet, then the Konoha nin said, "You've got a hairline fracture on your shoulder blade, and you're going to hurt like crazy for a bit, but there are no severe broken bones or major blood vessel ruptures. If there's going to be any heavy lifting, I'll do it from here on, until we can get your injuries looked at by more qualified medical personnel."

Uriko's tone did not sound like she was giving a suggestion, but more like a mother half-consoling, half-upbraiding her child.

NAME: Ikkou Gazou
RANK: E
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [Medical]
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 0
REQUIREMENT: Chakra Control SA
DESCRIPTION:
Developed before more advanced medical technologies were around this is a technique where one is capable of creating a incredibly accurate 3-D mental image of a target's internals. Similar to a palpation exam, the physician is capable of performing this by pressing their index and middle fingers against a target and releasing a simple wave of chakra where they then mentally map everything the chakra comes into contact with with precision detail. While this technique is considered far more accurate than many modern technologies is it only useful for the user and is only as good as their knowledge. User can map out around 1ft diameter around the area of contact.

Hive

Azarea relaxed a bit at Uriko's assessment allowing the tension to bleed from her shoulders though the motion left her wincing. However as Uriko's jutsu washed over her the woman would notice something incredibly disturbing. The genin's bones where nearly hollow. Tiny tunnels running through them and her skeleton, muscles, and the lining of her organs within natural seals forming nearly unseen by the human eye along set points in her skin like hidden entrances to an ant hive... and within the woman thousands of chakra signatures matching her own seemed to move and swarm. Azarea in her haste to mollify Urikohime having forgotten that her hive was detectable with medical ninjutsu.

"I'll be sure to leave any heavy lifting to you Uriko. Besides other then surveying this area we should be able to wrap up and head back before nightfall now that the main issue they were having in this area is taken care of." The Kumo nin murmured the woman clearly having experience with being healed given she didn't shy away from Uriko's hands, but there was a tenseness to her as if most touch was something usually accompanied by pain. As if contact initiated by someone other then herself was a thing to be eternally wary of. In a life of a shinobi though she wasn't wrong to be conditioned such a way.

Uriko, when she detected the more-than-normally hollow bones of her companion through her technique, did not say anything about it, although she was quite surprised that Azarea possessed such a strange physiology. Still, there were a lot of strange things in the ninja world, so such things were not to be altogether unexpected. All the same, things began to make a lot more sense now, seeing as Uriko was a rather intelligent person, and could easily infer correct opinions from less available information than the average person could. Even though technically, her jutsu could not detect chakra, Uriko could easily identify the strange things moving within Azarea's body, and quickly came to a conclusion. Azarea had insects living inside her, much like the Aburame of Konoha. In fact, it was very likely that the older girl was Aburame. It all connected now. From her apparent affinity to bugs that Uriko had witnessed when they had first met, to her scouting abilities on their first mission, that could be the only conclusion.

If anything, though, Uriko was not annoyed that Azarea had hidden anything from her. Azarea had shown that she did not wish harm to Uriko, and that was enough for the latter. But Uriko did not like keeping secrets from those she considered friends. She knew Azarea's secret. It was only fair that she let her senpai know that she was aware. From Azarea's stiff body language, it seemed obvious that this woman was no stranger to pain, and Uriko wondered what had happened to her to cause her to be like that. "I hope you won't be offended with me, Azarea-senpai," the green-haired girl said gently, walking round so that she was in front of Azarea, and squatting so that they were on eye level. "But you're Aburame, aren't you? Or something close. But don't worry, if you don't want me to tell anyone, I won't. I don't know why you didn't want to tell me, but I don't think any less of you, and I will gladly keep your secret if that is what you wish."

Half-Truths

At the mention of her former clan Azarea tensed. Those pale eyes searching Uriko's face with obvious wariness as the woman calculated what damage control needed to be done to get out of this situation with minimal complications and issues. "I'm not an Aburame." She stated and her words were not a lie. She was no longer truly allowed to use such a name unless she took back her position within her clan with her own two hands. Such though was a far fetched dream for now and the reality was that she could not afford to be too bold.

"But I am an insect user," She admits allowing Uriko to know that much at least, "I'd prefer if you did not spread such information around however as many shinobi do not like bugs. I would find it much more difficult to get joint missions and jobs if others knew. The Aburame clan of Konoha are powerful and have backing to discourage others from discriminating against them. I do not." Azarea explains and hopes Uriko understand. The girl herself came from a clan so there was no telling if she had witnessed or understood the difficulties civilianborn shinobi or those without prominent backing went through if they were ever considered distasteful in some fashion. Standing up once more Azarea tugger her jumpsuit back on all the way. Zipping it back up to her neck as she stuffed the ruined remains of her jacket into her pack.

"Come on. Let's finish our scouting and head back." She suggests, the womans temperament having taken a slight turn for the more solemn.

Uriko could see the wariness in Azarea's eyes as her senpai seemed to be calculating what to say next. Eventually, she spoke, declaring herself not to belong to the Aburame clan. Uriko was not going to try to argue. She did not know much of the world after all, and she did remember Azarea mentioning a clan of bug users in Kaminari no Kuni. There were many possibilities that could explain Azarea being a bug user without being Aburame, and Uriko had no interest in finding out whether Azarea's control of bugs was similar to those of the Konoha-based clan.

The more important thing on her mind now was making Azarea lose her wariness, not because she wanted to pry more secrets, but because she did not want the Kumo nin to feel uncomfortable in her presence. Even though she and Azarea were quite different in behavior, she felt that under Azarea's sharp exterior was a really nice person with whom she could become good friends. "I did not wish to make you uneasy, Azarea-senpai," she tried to explain, looking like a child who had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. "I just thought you might feel like I was hiding things from you if you later discovered that I knew you used insects but did not let you know I was aware of that fact. I am really sorry for bringing it up, and I will tell no one about this."

Hopefully, Azarea would not begin to avoid her from here on. But the thought of that possibility made Uriko glum. There was little else to do except check the area to be sure nothing else was amiss. Performing a few handseals, Uriko formed a translucent wall, which she used as a launchpad to get to the branches above without having to head for the tree trunks. From her elevated position, she was able to command a good view of the surrounding region. All seemed clear. Uriko turned to look down at Azarea. "All looks good from where I'm standing. Let's head back."

NAME: Kekkai: Kabe (Barrier: Wall)
RANK: D
TECH TYPE: universal | Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: None
CHAKRA USAGE: Very low - Very High depending on size of wall/ Very Low to maintain
DESCRIPTION:
The user creates a solid wall like barrier that appears almost instantly anywhere within a 15ft radius. The wall itself is highly durable and requires D ranked jutsu power to shatter anything lower would simply be ineffective against the wall if not outright break after coming in contact with it, with weapons would need to be empowered with chakra to do any damage though that are not are ineffective with projectiles harmless clattering down to the ground. The wall can be sprung up in a moments notice and the shape and size of it varies depending on the users preference and chakra use (anywhere between 5ft and 15ft tall). As many walls can be made as the user wishes to make (or have the chakra to make) however the plus side is that once the walls are created they take no chakra to maintain. Requires three hand seals.

Note: I have trained this technique, and am just waiting for it to be approved by Staff, so hopefully it's fine to use it here.

Success

The Kumo nin relaxed a bit as Uriko promised not to mention her condition to anyone. The likelihood of her old clan catching onto her then before she could get back to safety was slimmer if they never knew when or where she'd be or where directly her missions would take her. Her erratic schedule a boon in avoiding notice. "Thank you Uriko. I appreciate it." Azarea murmured and giving the girl a small round of applause she she formed the chakra barrier and used it to get a birds eye view of their surroundings. Trusting the green haired girl's assessment she agreed to move on.

"Well let's get moving before the adrenaline wears off on me and I drop." Azarea half joked half seriously stated as channeling chakra back to her feet she ambled up the tree trunk and gestured for Uriko to take the lead. The two Kunoichi's journey back to Konoha thankfully relatively peaceful and quiet for all the excitement of the day. The pair writing out their reports, Azarea's which she handed to Uriko to turn in, before eventually parting ways.

"It has, as always, been a pleasure working with you Urikohime." The woman quipped offering Uriko a lopsided smile as she headed off to get herself seen by a medic.
