❝

Man this swamp sure is something else, there's a village hidden out here

❞

Another day another adventure, today our hero finds herself within the swampy lands of Bonchi no Kuni where she is sent to locate the illusive Takigakure a hidden village that unbeknowst to many has only ever been found by those who live there, with an entirely fake locale having been completely fabricated in order to falsify its true location a fact that Fuu would only ever learn if she actually managed to make it there in one piece.

The girl had faced down all manner of wild animal and strange creature that served as a natural defense against most things within the lands and is now currently looking for a place to take a break, as the girl made her way through the trees in her tattered pants which were practically shorts at this point, she'd look for a space through her binoculars.

Out to the east she'd spot a large snake seemingly taking its time devouring a crocodile. "No way not dealing with one of those again..." she'd then turn towards the west only to see a bonobo ape in the process of "greeting" another member of its species which disturbed the young woman who would quickly turn away. "Oookay...?" she'd then turn her head once again and find a nice spot that seemed devoid of anything too out of the ordinary the girl would make her way over to the spot near the inconspicuous rock and would observe the environment for a moment before opening up her map.

"Okay its nearly sundown...I think." she genuinely couldn't tell as the forests trees blocked out most of the sun and seeing as nothing was poking through all that much she figured the sun was almost down. "The nearest town is about another 2 or so miles away maybe if I keep going I'll eventually make it there and perhaps someone could get me some information on how I could find this hidden village and request an audience with their leader." she'd say to herself looking over at the strange rock, her blue eyes scanning it for a moment something seemed odd about it. "Is that thing moving...?"

Fuu had, for all intents and purposes chosen the wrong area to get lost in. Hotarubi himself had also exit the large portion into Bonchi no Kuni's wilderness from the Fake Takigakure and well out of the way of any possible shinobi presence, and was about to cohesively ruin the area and every animal's day - just so that he could leg it afterward and pretend it wasn't him that did all the damage. Hotarubi needed a lot of space away from the village to practice what he wanted to practice: and even though he was within the 2 kilometers, and frankly:

Hotarubi didn't know if he even had enough power, or chakra to perform what he wanted to do. Sat there in the human shaped rock. Yes - he knew things were around him and yet still opted to perform it. He had for a while been sitting there, knowing and visualising what he wanted to do and look like. How to hold himself together, it was just a larger version of himself right? He had been progressively getting larger and larger with his creations but the devastating clan technique - was a challenge. The reason for doing it was relatively simple. If he could do it now, then in his mind: he had perfected all of the teaching of the Yamakira and there was little else he couldn't conquer. And there were a few things after that he could accomplish.

So - before Fuu was able to offer any words or reach out to Hotarubi, the rock shaped object would form into him: and would distinctly become human, faced away from Fuu as the earth itself began to shake, causing a mountainous rage of volume - the rumble beneath her feet would be immediate as everything in the nearby area began to draw into him, pulling trees, animals, and all earth: Fuu had freedom to do what she wanted, but in the short time it would be monolithic with the speed which the being formed- if she grabbed on, she would find herself being pulled and dragged to the top of the newly created mound, rising well above the canopy, the trees: and then becoming the largest thing in the area as she would get a view of the surrounding countryside for at least thirty miles - that was, if she didn't end up being pulled in and crushed by the forming compact monster form.

Jutsu used:

SPOILER: Click to show

NAME: Ōka [Assimilation of New Territory]
RANK: S
CHAKRA USAGE: Very High
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Doton
HANDSEALS: 0
REQUIREMENT: Large Chakra Reserves
DESCRIPTION:
This jutsu is the most powerful one in the Yamakira’s arsenal and is the one that earned them their surname of Mountain Killer. A much more powerful variation of Dōka, this allows the user to pull in a massive amount of stone and earth from their surroundings using the same principle as the Dōka. The sheer amount of substance pulled in enables the user to become massive enough to rival a mountain in size and rival even the gigantic boss summons in strength and durability. They essentially become monstrous engines of destruction that can flatten villages in a single stomp. Unfortunately, it takes them a while to form this body (2 rotations) (1 ROTATION DUE TO HOTARUBI'S SAs) due to the sheer amount of substances being pulled in, rendering them completely open to attack while they are coalescing the earth.

This jutsu requires a massive amount of earth and stone as well as chakra in order to perform and can only be performed by a skilled and experienced Yamakira clansman. Its requirements are so massive that even the Yamakira are hard-pressed to supply the move with enough chakra and that most others trying to create a similar move would kill themselves from chakra exhaustion from a single use. As it is, it is only advisable for those with massive chakra reserves to only use it once in a battle and under the most dire of circumstances because of how long this takes to do and how much chakra this form eats up, lest they die trying to make a second one due to lack of chakra. After usage of this technique, it is advisable for the user to immediately withdraw from the battle because they will be heavily weakened after it.

The girl would take a look over at the rock that would seemingly transform into a human and would look away from her. "The rock it transformed." after a moment it would launch a powerful technique and would find herself being dragged towards it. "I'm under attack!" the girl would say as she swiftly rushed through a few handseals and would attempt to cling to a tree using her soft body modification technique to try and grab leverage onto a trees and once she was firmly planted would keep herself attached too it much like a spider.

And would watch how everything would get swept up by his maneuver and watch as it began to grow. "Whoa..." the girl would say as she continued to notice it, she figured the man before her was some sort of Shinobi perhaps he could help her figure out where the hidden village might be located but also wonder if there was anything in the pathfinders guide to combat in order to deal with people who techniques like WHATEVER that must be.

She'd only ever seen the few Doton based techniques that her clan was able to craft in order to sink buildings and break a few things here and there but never anything of that particular magnitude as it continued to grow in size she wasn't fully sure what to do was she under attack, even if she wasn't it was better to keep herself safe.

"Okay pathfinders guide...to combat...Chapter 16...one handed seals." she'd attempt to formulate one seal to utilize the body flicker technique however her panic ensured that she didn't travel as far as she would've liked. "Hey I did it..." however it wasn't far enough as the creature would grow even further and since she couldn't get away in time she'd send some chakra into her feet and would attempt to cling to it whilst it grew.

The noise and form of the crunching trees, the groaning gravel and the land growing quiet in the shape of an apex predator forming would be the crowning achievement of his use of the technique. Eventually- Fuu would have the supreme glance of the landscape and what a beautiful sky it would have been. Hotarubi felt mightier than he had ever been, first feeling the strain of the amount of chakra he had used. It definitely did not tickle: but - it had been done and he did feel like he had gas in the tank to spare.

Shaped in the form of a giant oni almost connected to the ground: he was visceral, massive, black and looked exactly like the ultimate form of a Yamakira. All Yamakira allegedly who used the technique took unique forms, took unique appearances that could distinguish them from any other, and Hotarubi had chosen his long ago to be the form of a bakemono - no longer looking like him but a warrior of mythic proportions. It felt mighty, strong, powerful.

What Hotarubi had not actually taken account of, was the strain: and his sensory abilities. The way he had excelled at it was working against him - and now, gargantuan and large the earth he'd moved was the equivalent of turning his head into a bouncing ball of stimulus that gave him a splitting headache as he tried to get his bearings. This was good. Maybe this was chakra exhaustion? No. He knew what chakra exhaustion felt like.

The monster itself groaned, and it appeared that it was every bit of Hotarubi still but in a large form, which meant the capability for talking. "Hurts..." The voice was drastically altered, and a hand would come up to touch against his head. The man had not yet even clocked the wandering ninja on his head, with now the enhanced perceptions of seeing so much around him.

And man - what a beautiful scenery? It wasn't something that he had ever seen before. In key motion: the monster in time would open up his clawed hands, looking down at its own hands that mean Fuu would need to transition with the scenery to maintain her position on the crown of the monster. Checking out his movement abilities. Huge hammers: the claws changed and while it was taking longer, the effects were massive. Hotarubi was a fan of using these enhanced things: how quickly the tide of battle would change against any unwilling foe who dared stand against it.

As the girl would be pulled towards the massive statue she'd find herself a top the head of the large golem like creature uncertain of what to do with herself but for the moment that she was up there she was able to at least observe the beauty that was the land of Takigakure itself she'd never been this far out before and found the vista to be quite breath taking.

But it wouldn't last long as the large creature that she had stood atop would become quite rowdy and would after a moment manage to buck the girl off, thankfully she was able to find something for herself to actively cling onto with her outstretched limb but found herself in the thick of it as she made her way back towards the ground trying to figure out what the best course of action would need to be given her current situation, she would attempt to flee but given how massive it was, would it find her?

Trying to fight it more than likely wasn't her best course of action but it was killed or be killed and for now she'd attempt to get out of it's range scurrying away as far as she could her body after a moment becoming engulfed in her gummy fluid that would protect her head and upper extremities from harm. "What is that thing and how can I take it down?" she'd think to herself.

"I don't think the path finders guide to combat has an article for giant monsters! Is this one of those...legendary Beast things, what was it called again...a Kaiju?" she would continue to turn the page in her path finders guide to combat finding a page that reads. "Pathfinders Guide to Combat: The Kaiju and you." and would begin trying to skim it over as she made a break for it.

Feeling on top of the world: in spite of his somewhat vertigo and the new perception of information was the opportunity to actually test what the body's movement was like: the area for at least some distance had been ruined (sorry wildlife) so it was a few spaces for him to travel, at least to get some idea of how fast he was.

So: Hotarubi, as his monolithic oni-form would do some movement: and what he didn't realise was how the perception changed. From his big old eyesight, seeing that he was passing vastly bigger distances in a single step, but it seemed slower as he moved. His own steps were causing ripples of thunderous noise into the distance, since he wasn't holding back as he tried to move with quickness. Then shadow boxing the open sky and the clouds: the fist attacks were a bit faster, and that was likely on account of his

What Hotarubi didn't realise was the tremendous pressure of externalising his chakra like this. It was an effort to keep himself together, keeping a ruthless focus. He certainly couldn't make use of his sensory abilities like this, because every movement was like rattling the inside of his brain. That was an exchange he would have to put up with.

And so - eventually coming to a stop after those movements had completed, Hotarubi was ready to tuck tail and run, and the process of the beast beginning to fall apart: being inserted back into the land, albeit without the greenery as it had once been, as it began to recede.

After a moment of sprinting the girl would keep turning the pages in her book. "So when confronting a mythical Kaiju your best option is self preservation, such creatures are best confronted with a team if you find yourself in the presence of one, unless you find yourself capable your best bet...if you aren't knowledgeable in the arts known as Fuinjutsu your best bet is too...run." as she got to the last sentence she'd take a deep breath.

"Fuinjutsu...I think I remember one of the other members discussing that...its like shinobi finger painting." the girl would say tapping her chin as she looked back towards the giant creature. "At least for now it looks like..." eventually she would notice that the creature seemed to be shrinking, or seemingly getting smaller. "Uh...oh..." as it shrunk the girl would watch as the land around her began to shift and parts of the area that had been there were now seemingly destroyed, and shifted around.

Looking at it all the girl wasn't certain how to feel the area around her had been seemingly terraformed the trees were somewhat uprooted and the ground looked malformed. "What has this creature done...? It has the ability to shift but also destroy nature, and its a massive beast...?" it would seem it returned to the form of an inconspicuous rock once again but what exactly was it, she wasn't sure if she should study it or run...what if it transformed again.

"Maybe I should go...eventually if I find Takigakure, maybe they can tell me what that thing is maybe they even know how to defeat it." with that the girl would head away before the creature had time to transform yet again pulling out her map and trying to potentially find a new way around, taking out a small brush and marking a note on her map to steet clear of this particular bog.

Soon enough, the earth sized earth body had returned to himself and instead was standing there - looking at the damage he had caused. Damn. It was not without its drawback but he supposed power came with responsibility, and it was for him to make the judgement, but when in matters of self preservation - it would always win out.

That was good. A glow of internal warmth, of being pleased flooded into his system. He had done it. the Yamakira arsenal was his - a master of it. It had not yet been that long since passing out of the academy and he had lived up to his potential now. Nothing could stop him. As he closed his eyes and began to meditate, at least what was the closest guidance he could have since his talking sessions with Akio - something perturbed him as he recognized a cadence that was not animal.

That was - His eyes opened and he turned toward the direction of the familiar pitter patter of movements moving away from him.

"Hold the fucking fuck up-" Hotarubi gritted his teeth and spoke to himself as he recognised what that meant. He had been spotted - there was no fucking way he hadn't been spotted. Ironically, the individual was moving toward Takigakure and had chosen the right direction, but Hotarubi had quickly thought of that as being another shinobi of the village. Had he been identified? That would be a stern talking to.

Shit.

Hotarubi raced - toward the source of the movement and at speed, ejecting the normal additional six hundred pounds of extra weight - giving him that bit of oomph and speed.

❝

Oh no this doesn't look like a battle I can run from!

❞

Fuu would keep running as quickly as she could but would notice that the individual in question was onto her frantically she'd keep running. "Come on, come on, come on." she'd attempt to craft a few series of handseals and would turn and fire off a few blasts of Wind from her mouth and attempt to smatter against his body, however she'd only get off about 3 of them.

"Stay back!" the girl wasn't certain who or what she was aiming at but knew she was aiming at...something, but as she did so the girl would cheer as she looked down at her monstrous hands.
"Hey I did it...! Progress!" the girl would say almost tearfully having been working on the technique for quite some time but despite this she'd look back and notice that they would fizzle out shortly after dispersing.

"Uh oh..." quickly she'd attempt to try and formulate another quick series of handseals preparing to let out a paralyzing scream to keep him at bay. However Mr. Rockman was gaining fast and there was a good chance she wouldn't be able to make it work before he managed to get towards her, but she'd still give it a try and if successful she'd let out a shout. "I SAID STAY BAAAACK!" the girl would shout hoping to shut him down with a debilitating scream.

He might've had to shed his excess body weight but he was catching up at speed - and she would attack him. That was a choice, certainly - "stop!" Hotarubi would call. He didn't want to have to use his techniques on her, much less if it was a Takigakure shinobi. Though the winds passed through what would be 'earth' stiff hair, however unlikely the aerodynamics, he would eventually be at a point where she was going to be in grabbing distance in the next few seconds till she turned - and she didn't seem dangerous till she opened her mouth as Hotarubi wouldn't stop his movement, but move laterally to her in a circle; not that it would help him.

"Mother -fuck-" Hotarubi would cover his ears. He could hear, so sound techniques would hurt all the same, even if it wasn't physical damage, the body needed to be connected to whatevet the Yamakira equivalent of the nervous system was, and when it entered his ears it made him grunt - and pain. Shocking his nervous system - and not to mention the physical airwaves hitting him like a brick against his sensory abilities that dropped his gut and made him feel like he needed to shit.

Then the ringing began - he couldn't hear shit. He could see her; and she didn't bare the markings of Takigakure, so she was a bandit. Hotarubi's face sneered as he tried to speak. "You fusking bich-" when you couldn't hear yourself think, even your voice tended to react as he shouted loudly - in an effect that she would have seen on other people affected by the technique.

Was this another Genjutsu like he had used on him during that mission with the Kirigakure shinobi? Hotarubi would need to perform the Kai technique, but he didn't want any more chance of her using a Genjutsu again. Fuck that shit.

So he instead performed some handseals, and all of the hands he could stomach would pull from his chakra reserves into the earth, snaking around the disrupted ground and the knocked trees and seek to stop her in her tracks: to end up rolled like a burrito with her hands well out of any chance of performing any more techniques.

Then he would get his hearing back, and the punishment would be severe, if she was so caught by it. Once that was done, the Kai technique would be up next.

The stone hands are reinforced with the user's chakra and are insanely hard to break out of. The user has full control over the hands and can use them to hold their opponent fast or even squeeze said opponent to death if they want. If they chooses to kill their opponent the hands act much like boa constrictors, breaking the opponents bones and pressing them into the earth.

As the girl would throw out her attacks surprisingly they landed and after she had landed her loud scream the girl would make a break for it running along the ground at breakneck speed or as best she could trying to run from the creature that was chasing her but after a moment she'd find the ground below her turning to what looked like mud as she frantically attempted to scurry away from the man that she had encountered.

She'd keep moving but after a moment she'd feel one of them clutch her leg and hold her in place however with her body being flexible she'd attempt to use her soft body to peel herself out of it as best she could but with every motion there was yet another hand that was keeping its grasp on her.

"Gaah, Ha, Euugh." went the girl as the stony hands clamped at her as she tried to free herself looking like an odd human octopus that was mangled before repair, eventually resorting to simply squirming about, her legs taking the worst of it as they were pulled and dragged along the jagged rock unable to handle its course surface despite her body having soft properties everything below her waist was still quite human as evident as the hems ofher pants would rip the more she moved.

"Lemme go...!" the girl would cry trying to once again form some kind of a handseal in an effort to break the appendages with wind jutsu, but thought she made progress the situation she was in still had made it somewhat difficult for her to actively achieve her goal.

That was good - though she tried to pull herself out and move beyond, in a way that contortioned that rivalled Hotarubi's own earth body, he would happily try the next technique.

"Keeh it up'alscrush you." His hearing was not back and his volume was shot a bit. But now caught, he would take on a much more softer form as he would perform the Kai handseal - and... nothing. It frankly took a lot more chakra than he was used to taking for what was supposed to be an 'elementary, academy/genin' level technique.

The ringing did not stop. He would press his temples. Ugh.

But then - he hadn't known the importance of the Kai technique till that mission. It had most certainly ruined his day. But it wasn't doing anything - even as past the Kai and he had blown a bunch of chakra on it, his body felt heavy. Heavier, obviously - the pull of chakra exhaustion after a few plentiful techniques, enough to make him already conserve it - the next technique he was going to use was to kill her if she so deigned him with difficulty.

"Gimme a- MOMENT. FUCK. I just wanted to talk you ingrate!" Hotarubi would shout. Maybe there was something to gain, but right now? If he killed her? He would bury her ass eighty feet into the earth and nobody would find her.

As the girl found herself trapped the panic in combination with her lack of control would cause her to spasm whilst inside thrashing about to be let out hoping the sheer force her body could break the stone but given the nature of it there was no avail and all she was doing was wasting chakra, but at the same time to influx of emotions was disturbing her chakra network causing her to lose all sense of co-herency and at this point she would more than likely pass out from exhaustion as the chakra left her body and she simply kept trying to break free. "LET...FUU...GOOO!" the girl would start referring to herself in the third person.

"LET...FUU GO...NOW!!!!" with whatever limb she had she'd attempt to reach out and try to grab the man pulling her body to the limits of what she was normally able to do in her efforts to do something since she was quite soundly held in place by the man's limbs.

Noises would come out of her mouth but she was more like an out of control animal rather than a human being based on the way she was actively behaving she'd even try her luck at forming some kind of a hand seal but her lack of mental coherency made whatever she was formally practically useless since her chakra network was going haywire due to a variety of different factors. "Mmmhppf...Graah...Raaaaaaagh!"

Hotarubi had never, quite ever worked so hard against himself and for someone else to keep them alive. While she turned freakish (sort of cementing that she was from this land, given the fact that she was another monster.) he would grunt as he summoned more arms to completely cover her, sans her face from breathing. There wasn't going to be any breaking out of it.

But, given she was in no place to defend herself - she would get smashed in the temple by a hammer created by him. "Shut the fuck up." Hotarubi ordered, hoping he had hit her hard enough that she would go unconscious. If she didn't...

Well, he would hammer that nail again until it was down.

And later, she would awaken again - and he had designed a more specific prison for her, the arms: curling around her very body, her torso - arms and legs as she was held captive above the ground to stare down at the Shinobi. If she started to look around, she would see herself as being hoisted in the middle of a circle that eclipsed around her. Strangely, her mouth was still left free. He had been standing there for ages. "Ya there?" Hotarubi would call up to her, waiting for her to focus on him.

"If you scream at me again, the next thing that will happen is you won't have any arms or legs. That is a promise. If you don't answer my questions, you will have no limbs. That is a promise." his patience had worn off in the time she had been out. He had briefly checked her for items, enough for him to identify her as not being from Takigakure: and those items were by his side. "What's this?" Hotarubi would hold up the tanjo headband at her. It was not a village he had held up.

After the girl continued to struggle Fuu would find herself trapped wtihin the confines on a large stone cage her belongings gone and having been rummaged through as the girl would awaken she'd find herself shocked by the position that she found herself in and would look down at the man in front of her, her muscles ached from being held in this position for good only knows how long.

"Hey, lemme goo!" the girl would say trying to squirm and squiggle but would find herself tuck her body tied up like a pretzel. The mean monster man would give her orders and as he held her bag she'd find him holding her bandana in his hands asking her who she is.

"Hey! Give that back...it's the flag of my organization w-we're called the Tanjo! B-but that's all I'm telling you!" the girl would say not exactly shouting by loud enough that he could hear her, she wasn't sure just how much to divulge this man was a stranger and while he knew the name he wouldn't know where to find them and once the denezins of Takigakure got a handle on who he is was surely they wouldn't want to work with someone so unscrupolous and hardly noble just a big mean ol monster.

"Why is it that every time I leave the country I find myself in a pickle." she'd think to herself as she helplessly hung about. The unfortunate tale of bad luck the young girl had was almost enough to make her cry but she's survived quite a bit surprisingly and hopefully this particular situation was no different or at least she'd like to hope so.
