POST

-- On the Road to Nokoribi --

With everyone having gotten their fill of rest, the group was prepared to move out. A resting period of Yoshikata would more than fulfill any need for it later and with the wolf guard of Kaede present at the rear, it would leave Chisai to handle the front of the cart as the Sage steered it alongside the elder blacksmith.

Having decided these roles, or given a moment to discuss it further, the party would continue their venture once more towards their destination.

The road would remain relatively peaceful, the lands showing the signs of progress in the roads to the paths that seemed to split to multiple locations. But in the end, the group would have a hard time being lost with their acknowledged goal in reaching Nokoribi. Life continued to move around them, the wind's gentle breeze picking up dust and pollen with every step the oxen made. The bumps of the wagon would make the journey a little discomforting for rest, but not impossible for Yoshikata considering the degree of exertion it took to summon a creature such as Gameken.

In the end, with the weather being pleasant, the group could take this time to reveal possible information on their missing target or perhaps even learn a bit more about each other.

FROM THE FLAMES OF BATTLE I WAS FORGED, FROM THE ASH LANDS I BECAME ANEW, MY SOUL STANDS UNYIELDING TO THE CHALLENGE AHEAD


The Lioness did the best she could to rest and gather her strength. Checking her injuries from the fight as few as they were. Pain was a reminded that she was alive after all and even when the battle had gone to her favor, it was closer than what she liked to admit. The scores that had singed her flesh had been taken care with balm and bandages, the ache that had being left from the fight had become lessened as a time to recovery had been allowed to her. She still remembered the man that she had fought though.

As she raised and felt the faded pang of pain going through her. He had died on his feet, and it made her think that there wasn't a finer way for a warrior to die, shinobi or not. As she moved, hearing the scraping of her boots on the soil she allowed herself to ponder for a brief moment about what had transpired and decided that it would make a worthy addition to her personal saga. Turning to the blacksmiths as they spoke about them ready to start moving again, the blonde just gave a weary nod. "Sounds like a plan." She heard herself say in a quiet tone, turning to see where her companions where so they could begin again.

As the others woke and began to move, Yoshitaka made sure that everyone was set up and ready before dismissing Gamaken and settling into the wagon himself, "I will need some time to rest myself now, I'm content to continue on now however, as long as the two of you can hold down the fort while we travel for a bit," he directed the comment to his two companions as they ate.

Assuming the other shinobi had no issues with that, the male Honō settled himself down into what he would call a meditative posture, but others would almost certainly think of as 'sleeping sitting down' as he finally allowed himself some time to recover after the previous day's fight. Just because he was better off than the others didn't mean he wouldn't benefit from some rest after all.

Who knew what other problems would come as they continued to travel. One of their attackers had gotten away, and it was impossible to tell how many more might come for them. There was no indication of who was trying to stop them, and what resources they had. A frustrating experience for someone who was so used to having the information at his fingertips.

Combat Info
Relevant SAs

Yōton Master
Yoshitaka is one of the few members of his clan capable of manifesting their Kekkai Genkai. By combining Katon and Doton chakra, he is able to produce a number of dangerous and corrosive substances, ranging from his preferred use of burning lava to acidic quicklime and defensive rubber. Yoshitaka's focus on ninjutsu and his skill with elemental jutsu makes his Yōton techniques something to be feared.

Chakra Reserves
Like many of his clan, Yoshitaka has incredible chakra reserves, allowing him to perform many more jutsu than an average shinobi of his rank. With his level of skill, and his training, his reserves are high enough to throw around ninjutsu like other shinobi throw kunai.

Speed
Despite his relatively bulky frame, Yoshitaka is lightning fast even amongst Elite Jounin. Able to move far quicker than one would expect, he is capable of dancing across the battlefield to attack and defend.

Fast Handseals
Even amongst ninjutsu specialists Yoshitaka is quick to form handseals, his muscle memory and dexterity allowing him to rapidly move through the symbols and get jutsu off far faster than your average shinobi.

Elemental Master
As a ninjutsu specialist, Yoshitaka's ninjutsu are far more powerful than others without his focus, yet he has gone above and beyond this skillset when it comes to his use of Elemental Jutsu. Yoshitaka's elemental ninjutsu are significantly stronger than even those used by other ninjutsu sole specialists of his rank.

OOC Note(s):

Kaede arose from where he had slept on his giant wolf for the night just past allowing the sage to stretch himself out having slept so well it left Kaede feeling hungry but as luck would have it the blacksmiths seemed to be handed out rations for the group, as a blacksmith handed Kaede his portion he would start to eat his meal sat down on a local tree stump on the ground making a good seat. Don'yokuna meanwhile had gotten up from the ground himself to go hunting in the woods behind them while it was probably not normal for him to do so the large wolf was hungry himself and would go hunt himself some food to keep his strength up like Kaede he had been put to sleep as well so the big boy needed to eat. "Thanks for your help again old friend." He said towards Don'yokuna on his way into the forest it wasn't loud enough for the large wolf to hear, but as a sign of respect to the wolf whom he had spent along time by his side Kaede respected him a lot.

After making his way back a short distance from his location the blacksmith who had brought him some rations led him to his companions and the other blacksmiths. The group had packed up and seemed ready to press on, not far to go now. Yoshitaka needed to rest it seemed, Kaede would take control of the Oxen cart if there was no complaints from the others. "I can take control of the cart, while Yoshitaka rests. Don'yokuna will guard the rear with my other two wolves and Chisai up front like before?" Leaving the question open Kaede assumed there would be no complaints as the ground pressed on forward.



[IC COMBAT INFORMATION]

[Skills/Traits In-Usage]:


Incredible Chakra Reserves

Kaede was not born into a powerful clan. He has no special Kekkai Genkai, no family Hijutsu, or anything of the nature. He was, however, gifted with a wealth of chakra. Though it is uncertain just how much he is fully capable of, as he does not commonly use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, it is painfully obvious he has reserves capable of far outlasting the typical shinobi. When he combines his natural reserves with that of Nature based Chakra, he is capable of using multiple Senpo Arts back to back without showing signs of fatigue.

Inhuman Stamina

Many believe Kaede when he says that he was raised by wolves. And though this is due to many things, one very noticeable attribute he has to the creatures is his immeasurable stamina. Though Kaede will sweat and fatigue like everyone, he seems to have no off switch when it comes to just how far he is able to push himself. He claims it’s from "running with the wolves” so to speak, but this might not be far from the truth. One grand testament to this trait is that in his youth, Kaede would quite literally run for days on end for his training. When he first became a Genin, his Jounin sensei told him and his teammates to run until they no longer could. Though all three of them managed to run for hours on end, Kaede took the challenge quite literally. At the young age of only eleven, the boy managed to continue running for nearly three full days before he finally exhausted himself.

Genius Among Geniuses

Kaede’s mind is an incredible thing. He has the perception and intelligence to understand almost everything he touches, and if he can’t figure it out, he becomes obsessive until he can. From a young age, Kaede loved to learn, but more importantly, Kaede was also conscious of how to learn. Don'yokuna has the wisdom of generations. He trained Kaede as one of his own, and gifted him with the means of a much greater cognitive development than what he would have otherwise received through his Sennin Training. Though he was always smarter than what he led on, with his advanced thought processing, Kaede has become something of a genius. He can develop battle tactics on the turn of a dime, and seemingly read an opponent's movements through the patterns they display. Kaede is constantly thinking about hypothetical's of whatever situation he finds himself in, theorizing about nearly every possible outcome to find the best way to proceed. Though it took him years to develop this heightened awareness, the gift of learning became especially useful during his practices as a sage. The ability to balance Nature Chakra with his own was not exactly an easy feat, but with a combination of his natural talent, his ceaseless perseverance, and his unnatural cognition, even the sage arts became just another obsession for him to overcome.

Sennin Modō - Perfect Sage

Kaede began his training of the sage arts when he was around fourteen years old, and has spent the last twenty plus years perfecting his sage abilities. Though he is capable and then some with the likes of Taijutsu, Bukijutsu, Ninjutsu, and the other ninja arts, Kaede was found to have a pure talent of harnessing and utilizing Natural Chakra. Through years of hard work, training, and dedication, all paired with a little bit of talent, Kaede is now one of the very few to perfect the art of sage mode.

While in Sennin Modō Kaede would once take on many physical aspects of the wolf, from doglike ears, sharp claws and teeth, and fur covering portions of his body. However, after years of mastering his abilities he now hardly changes from his human form and his appearance only has a few wolf like features. The sage’s ears become pointed at the ends, and his canine teeth elongate slightly. In addition, his eyes begin to almost radiate light, and his right eye will change from his normal golden color to an intense icy blue, matching the Wolf King Don'yokuna. During sage mode, blue-green pigmentation will also form on the bottom half of his eyelids, leading to points just before his hairline.

For every round that Kaede maintains perfectly still to gather nature chakra is he able to gather it at the ratio of 40 pts per post. His threat cap is 130 pts and his stone cap is 400 pts

Ōkami Senses - Passive [1 pts][Active]

Kaede gains access to many wolf-like attributes while utilizing sage mode. When natural chakra is coursing through him his perception is increased, in addition to him gaining heightened senses of hearing and smell up to a kilometer's distance.

One with the Pack - Passive [1 pts][Active]

Kaede has been taught everything he knows about being a sage by the wolves of his contract. He has had no former sage to teach him and as such, gathering Nature chakra has always been done a little differently. When Kaede first began his training, he would meditate to gather the energy, but as it was necessary to remain immobile during the process it seemed impractical. So, after forming his unbreakable bond with the wolf Renji, Kaede is able to combine with him. Kaede is then able to fight and move without the necessity to remain motionless and gathers the chakra himself, as Renji can meditate for him and transfer the energy gathered to Kaede. While the chakra gathered this way is often slower than what Kaede could gather through meditation, [20 pts] the ability to move during the process creates an invaluable tool. What makes this bond special is that Kaede and his wolf Renji don't need the Senpō: Ryōsei no Jutsu [Sage Art: Amphibian Technique]. [His wolf Renji also has the same special ability.]

Note: Normal Meditation is still required for the initial entry of Sage Mode.

Sennin Genso Ken - Active [4 pts][Not active]

Kaede is a practitioner of a special fighting style known as Genso Ken, or Elemental Fist. With this fighting style Kaede can channel elemental chakra to his hands and feet to amplify the effects of his strikes with Raiton based chakra. Because the fighting style is a direct byproduct of Sēji Ken, the training allows him to apply nature chakra while under the influence of sage mode to his physical attacks to increase the range of his physical attacks as well as the effectiveness of each strike. While the additional range is not much, only about a foot in diameter around his hands and feet, it does allow him to damage others even if direct contact is not made. By adding Raiton chakra into the mix, the element produced this way become much stronger, and changes color with the influence of Natural Chakra, turning the lightning black in color. Additionally, it can be utilized on any taijutsu technique Kaede has knowledge of adding the 3 pts to the cost of the original technique. Not only does this add great speed and strength to his taijutsu, but also adds the elemental effects of lighting respectively, shocking whatever he strikes. Can be turned on and off when required to maintain pts for other sage techniques required.

Maelstrom Techniques - Active [4 pts] [See individual Jutsu][Not active]

When Kaede was in his youth, he trained under Ryujin Takanashi. As member of the Ryujin clan the man was gifted with the Ranton Kekkai Genkai, a combination of Suiton and Raiton. The techniques fascinated the young Kaede, and in his training with the Jounin, he would learn about how combination elements came to be. Though he was not gifted with the clans legendary Kekkai Genkai, Kaede used the knowledge he learned from the man to use the two elements in tandem. It seemed near impossible at first, but with the influence of natural chakra, Kaede was able to produce a series of techniques he would later call "Maelstrom Techniques.” These jutsu did not produce the same effect as Ranton, however, it did allow him to influence his water techniques with lightning allowing the water to conduct the element to add to his techniques destructive force. While true, most of the techniques he created can still be used with just Suiton, the addition of lightning to these jutsu would add cutting strength to the water, in addition to shocking the target. The active part of the senjutsu required for these is added on to the jutsu so doesn't remain active at all times.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Don'yokuna
ABILITIES:
Ōkami Kenpō: Despite not having hands, the wolf king is an incredible swordsman. He has trained nearly his entire life as the guardian of a legendary blade, known as the Greatsword of Artorias. Due to the weapons size, Don’yokuna has developed impressive strength and speed through practice with the weapon, and as he holds the blade with in his jaw, the force of his bite has also grown much more powerful than some might expect, making it incredibly difficult to disarm the creature.

Cosmic Chakra Well: Don’yokuna has an incredible wealth of chakra at his disposal. So much so, that when he is summoned, his Chakra seems to radiate about him, creating a visible Aura around his body. Whenever the wolf utilizes his chakra, this aura can also be seen forming around whatever his chakra affects. When combined with a sage via the Amphibian technique, the effect of their two chakra's mixing has also been known to create a noticeable cloak of Nature Chakra.

Steel Fur: The wolf has trained for years with his blade, and in doing so, he has suffered from many wounds all over his body. Don’yokuna’s hide is naturally thicker than most wolves, which is especially useful when it comes to his combat abilities. His tough hide allows him to shrug off weaker attacks as if nothing happened. Most standard attacks and weaker jutsu that collide with the wolf will seem to have no effect on him, however, chakra imbued attacks will still damage him like normal, and stronger jutsu seem to have the same effect.

Incredible Speed: Don’yokuna is a legendary creature, and is said to be one of the fastest wolves ever known. He is capable of moving at nearly blinding speeds, making it difficult to track his movements without the help of sharingan or similar abilities.

Special Equipment:

Greatsword of Artorias

ABILITIES:
Chakra Reactive: The Greatsword of Artorias is highly reactive to Fuuton chakra, and without such chakra channeling through the blade, it seems to be a simple, though gigantic, sword. Without Fuuton Chakra channeling through the weapon, the abilities the greatsword offers it’s wielder are rendered unusable, and as such, requires a constant stream of chakra (Low Per Post) to keep active. Active low cost

Wind Sever: Should Fuuton Chakra be channeled into the blade when the weapon comes in contact with flesh, it will glide through like a hot knife through butter. At first glance, the flesh will appear unscathed, spilling not a single drop of blood. However, this effect is short lived as the fuuton chakra imbued into the blade cuts so incredibly sharp and fast that the wounds do not seem to appear when the cut is initially made. When the wound finally appears, the cuts made tend to be far deeper than what would normally be expected, as the fuuton chakra adds to the cutting strength to the blade. Active low cost

Wind Scar: A strike so great it is said to be able to slay armies with a single swing. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, for this ability has rarely been used. By channeling a great amount of chakra (High) into the blade, the wielder will swing the weapon with incredible strength, unleashing a torrent of wind. The wind released from the attack creates a tornado like tunnel, and is capable of tearing the target to shreds from the wind pressure alone. The wind channeled from this attack moves incredibly quick achieving rates of 100mph, and its direction is determined from the swing of the weapon. The winds are released in a cone shape upon the swing of the weapon, reaching maximum distance of 100 meters deep, and 50 meters wide.

Requiem: Don'yokuna is a fierce practitioner of the Cleaving blade style of fighting, and the greatsword he uses is perfect for the practice. While using jutsu of this list with this weapon, the attacks seem to be stronger than normal, increasing the damage of all techniques B Rank and below by one rank. This is due to the fuuton reaction the blade is capable of. While channeling fuuton chakra through the blade, any technique of the cleaving blade gains the wind's cutting power, allowing the weapon to cut through even the toughest of armor. However, doing so does come at the cost of additional Low chakra in addition to the cost of the technique.

The road to Nokoribi seemed to be one of danger having felt the force of the last attack from the missing ninja they had faced well, that was Kaede assuming from the way they had been attacked. Other clues had given it away from the puppets that had been used reminding Kaede of a certain individual he had some knowledge about it was likely important to share this with the group, but considering things it was unlikely that he would be returning to the action anytime soon. Kaede had been sloppy with his defense though and had gotten caught with poison lucky for him it wasn't toxic on this occasion, but there could be a next time that could prove to be a fatal end for the sage, he needed to not get sloppy next time.

The bumps along the trail on the dirt road were quite bumpy in places so bumped the group around a little, but with everything going on everything seemed to be quite still with no further signs of enemies around them at present, Kaede's wolf guard had not howled at any foreign presence behind them. Kaede would speak for a moment talking to the blonde Kusa girl. Since the older male was resting in the back of the cart. I thought I would mention that the enemy I faced was a puppet user, I think he was originally from Kumogakure, some of the puppets he used were trademarks from his time in the village. While I cannot be hundred percent sure about that, I feel it was important to mention and I don't think he will attack again." Kaede said while making sure to keep the cart on the road ahead of them stable.

Don’yokuna’s hide is naturally thicker than most wolves, which is especially useful when it comes to his combat abilities. His tough hide allows him to shrug off weaker attacks as if nothing happened. Most standard attacks and weaker jutsu that collide with the wolf will seem to have no effect on him, however, chakra imbued attacks will still damage him like normal, and stronger jutsu seem to have the same effect.

Incredible Speed: Don’yokuna is a legendary creature, and is said to be one of the fastest wolves ever known. He is capable of moving at nearly blinding speeds, making it difficult to track his movements without the help of sharingan or similar abilities.

Special Equipment:

Greatsword of Artorias

ABILITIES:
Chakra Reactive: The Greatsword of Artorias is highly reactive to Fuuton chakra, and without such chakra channeling through the blade, it seems to be a simple, though gigantic, sword. Without Fuuton Chakra channeling through the weapon, the abilities the greatsword offers it’s wielder are rendered unusable, and as such, requires a constant stream of chakra (Low Per Post) to keep active. Active low cost

Wind Sever: Should Fuuton Chakra be channeled into the blade when the weapon comes in contact with flesh, it will glide through like a hot knife through butter. At first glance, the flesh will appear unscathed, spilling not a single drop of blood. However, this effect is short lived as the fuuton chakra imbued into the blade cuts so incredibly sharp and fast that the wounds do not seem to appear when the cut is initially made. When the wound finally appears, the cuts made tend to be far deeper than what would normally be expected, as the fuuton chakra adds to the cutting strength to the blade. Active low cost

Wind Scar: A strike so great it is said to be able to slay armies with a single swing. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, for this ability has rarely been used. By channeling a great amount of chakra (High) into the blade, the wielder will swing the weapon with incredible strength, unleashing a torrent of wind. The wind released from the attack creates a tornado like tunnel, and is capable of tearing the target to shreds from the wind pressure alone. The wind channeled from this attack moves incredibly quick achieving rates of 100mph, and its direction is determined from the swing of the weapon. The winds are released in a cone shape upon the swing of the weapon, reaching maximum distance of 100 meters deep, and 50 meters wide.

Requiem: Don'yokuna is a fierce practitioner of the Cleaving blade style of fighting, and the greatsword he uses is perfect for the practice. While using jutsu of this list with this weapon, the attacks seem to be stronger than normal, increasing the damage of all techniques B Rank and below by one rank. This is due to the fuuton reaction the blade is capable of. While channeling fuuton chakra through the blade, any technique of the cleaving blade gains the wind's cutting power, allowing the weapon to cut through even the toughest of armor. However, doing so does come at the cost of additional Low chakra in addition to the cost of the technique.

FROM THE FLAMES OF BATTLE I WAS FORGED, FROM THE ASH LANDS I BECAME ANEW, MY SOUL STANDS UNYIELDING TO THE CHALLENGE AHEAD


"I found a man too stubborn to die." The blonde mused, her eyes darting from side to side on the road, even when all seemed pleasant, experience told her that there were close to danger when they less expect it. "Or... more like he was looking for an honorable death in combat." To be so lucky. She left unsaid as she continued to guide the cart, her features becoming a quick wince whenever her injuries chaffed against the bandages she had applied.

Nothing that would keep her from battle, she knew how to ignore the pain and as long as she kept the wounds clean and changed the bandages until she could be seen by an allied medical shinobi or a proper apothecary, then she could soldier on. Death had been close to her and the thought of the axes made her skin shiver, the mere mention making the memory return as if she could feel the electricity upon her flesh. "He seemed to almost enjoy being burned alive... Never met anyone so eager to feel pain." Chisai observed. She had fought so many shinobi and that had felt wrong and out of place.

Curled up in the cart with his eyes closed but keeping himself somewhat alert as all high level Shinobi could as he rested, Yoshitaka listened to the other two talk but did not participate in the conversation himself. He was by far in the best condition of the trio, but it was important to regain as much energy as he could because it meant the next conflict would likely be one he needed to take point on due to that factor.

Things were peaceful for now, which was good, and that meant taking the right amount of time to recuperate. Still, he couldn't help but wonder what might come next, there was undoubtedly going to be more problems. Unfortunately at this point the man couldn't hope to guess what they might be.

They would need to be ready for just about anything, but for now he would enjoy the relative peace and quiet that was provided in this trip. With the mad old man and the puppeteer from Kumo defeated, taking what time that could be gotten to relax was definitely the best use of his time. Kaede and Chisai could handle the escort duties for the moment, and while really could use a cup of tea he would make do with what he had.

POST

-- On the Road to Nokoribi --

A man whom had been eager to feel pain and the release from a warrior's death and a master of puppets whom had perhaps been from Kumo. These small details may have seemed disconnected, but perhaps there remained a link within their fragmented stories. In the end, it was also possible that such a union had been nothing more than circumstantial and that was all. A rare thing, but such could happen within their world. Often the most random of partnerships could only have been possible with a bit of exchange. Be it information or profit. Still, the time for such guess work was nearing its end.

As their journey continued into the sunset hours of the day, the party would once again rest as they could see the vision of their destination in their heads. The smiths were already at work collecting possible plans and tools, insuring that their work was ready to be shared with their new partners. They all had high hopes with such a joint collaboration and each wanted to be sure to show their best. Expectations were high, but the belief only that their path was now clear of trouble gave a sense of rest to everyone whom had traveled this far.

With their shinobi guards on watch, the Elder blacksmith would approach them with a calm expression.

"Gotta say...I didn't imagine we'd make it with what I'd seen back there...but you folks came through..."

A weak smile crossed his lips as he then nodded his head.

"We ain't at the end yet, but I wanted to let you know that we do appreciate everything you've done for us...all of us...hard to believe this might be the last time I get to travel like this...getting too old for these kind of trips...but you've certainly made it an exciting one for this old man...."

Yoshitaka’s thoughts drifted as the cart rocked gently along the uneven road. He mentally reviewed their last battle, analysing every detail, every move, and every potential flaw in their strategy. The old man’s crazed laughter and the puppeteer’s swift, deadly strikes had been formidable challenges, but they had overcome them. Still, he knew better than to let his guard down. The road ahead was unpredictable, and the world they lived in was rife with dangers waiting to strike at any moment.

His senses remained sharp, attuned to the environment around him despite his relaxed posture. Every rustle of the leaves, every distant birdcall, was cataloged and assessed. He could feel the subtle shifts in the air, perhaps a sign that a storm might be brewing in more ways than one? Yoshitaka was, at least for now, a man of few words, but his mind was a whirlwind of possibilities, contingency plans, and what-ifs.

As the cart continued its slow journey, he allowed himself a rare moment of personal reflection. The path of a Shinobi was one of constant vigilance and sacrifice. Moments like these, where he could rest and simply exist, were fleeting and precious. He would cherish this peace, no matter how temporary it might be.

But he remained silent for the time being, resting as he was the others could handle their charges for the moment.

As Kaede continued to drive the cart he listened to Chisai speak about the warrior she and Yoshi had faced when Kaede had been occupied with the puppet master. Chisai mentioned that the man they faced seemed like he wanted a warrior's death or perhaps didn't know what he wanted, but in the end, he did and seemed to enjoy feeling the pain caused upon his body as he was burned alive. Kaede could see why the warrior they battled seemed to act this way if he had been alive for a long time, it was probably something he had been looking for from fighters stronger than himself. Kaede wondered to himself about his death and what may come of his fate one day, not knowing how or when just knowing it could come at any time even more so with being a shinobi.

The elder of the blacksmith would then approach Kaede at the front of the cart speaking to him and Chisai. He expressed his gratitude towards Kaede and the rest of his allies for guiding them this far and keeping them safe. Kaede bowed his head while maintaining good control of the cart as he spoke. " You are most welcome. We need to stay vigilant though even though we are close, anything could go wrong. Its the life of the shinobi world and nowhere is safe. So let's stay on guard. "



[IC COMBAT INFORMATION]

[Skills/Traits In-Usage]:


Incredible Chakra Reserves

Kaede was not born into a powerful clan. He has no special Kekkai Genkai, no family Hijutsu, or anything of the nature. He was, however, gifted with a wealth of chakra. Though it is uncertain just how much he is fully capable of, as he does not commonly use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, it is painfully obvious he has reserves capable of far outlasting the typical shinobi. When he combines his natural reserves with that of Nature based Chakra, he is capable of using multiple Senpo Arts back to back without showing signs of fatigue.

Inhuman Stamina

Many believe Kaede when he says that he was raised by wolves. And though this is due to many things, one very noticeable attribute he has to the creatures is his immeasurable stamina. Though Kaede will sweat and fatigue like everyone, he seems to have no off switch when it comes to just how far he is able to push himself. He claims it’s from "running with the wolves” so to speak, but this might not be far from the truth. One grand testament to this trait is that in his youth, Kaede would quite literally run for days on end for his training. When he first became a Genin, his Jounin sensei told him and his teammates to run until they no longer could. Though all three of them managed to run for hours on end, Kaede took the challenge quite literally. At the young age of only eleven, the boy managed to continue running for nearly three full days before he finally exhausted himself.

Genius Among Geniuses

Kaede’s mind is an incredible thing. He has the perception and intelligence to understand almost everything he touches, and if he can’t figure it out, he becomes obsessive until he can. From a young age, Kaede loved to learn, but more importantly, Kaede was also conscious of how to learn. Don'yokuna has the wisdom of generations. He trained Kaede as one of his own, and gifted him with the means of a much greater cognitive development than what he would have otherwise received through his Sennin Training. Though he was always smarter than what he led on, with his advanced thought processing, Kaede has become something of a genius. He can develop battle tactics on the turn of a dime, and seemingly read an opponent's movements through the patterns they display. Kaede is constantly thinking about hypothetical's of whatever situation he finds himself in, theorizing about nearly every possible outcome to find the best way to proceed. Though it took him years to develop this heightened awareness, the gift of learning became especially useful during his practices as a sage. The ability to balance Nature Chakra with his own was not exactly an easy feat, but with a combination of his natural talent, his ceaseless perseverance, and his unnatural cognition, even the sage arts became just another obsession for him to overcome.

Sennin Modō - Perfect Sage

Kaede began his training of the sage arts when he was around fourteen years old, and has spent the last twenty plus years perfecting his sage abilities. Though he is capable and then some with the likes of Taijutsu, Bukijutsu, Ninjutsu, and the other ninja arts, Kaede was found to have a pure talent of harnessing and utilizing Natural Chakra. Through years of hard work, training, and dedication, all paired with a little bit of talent, Kaede is now one of the very few to perfect the art of sage mode.

While in Sennin Modō Kaede would once take on many physical aspects of the wolf, from doglike ears, sharp claws and teeth, and fur covering portions of his body. However, after years of mastering his abilities he now hardly changes from his human form and his appearance only has a few wolf like features. The sage’s ears become pointed at the ends, and his canine teeth elongate slightly. In addition, his eyes begin to almost radiate light, and his right eye will change from his normal golden color to an intense icy blue, matching the Wolf King Don'yokuna. During sage mode, blue-green pigmentation will also form on the bottom half of his eyelids, leading to points just before his hairline.

For every round that Kaede maintains perfectly still to gather nature chakra is he able to gather it at the ratio of 40 pts per post. His threat cap is 130 pts and his stone cap is 400 pts

Ōkami Senses - Passive [1 pts][Active]

Kaede gains access to many wolf-like attributes while utilizing sage mode. When natural chakra is coursing through him his perception is increased, in addition to him gaining heightened senses of hearing and smell up to a kilometer's distance.

One with the Pack - Passive [1 pts][Active]

Kaede has been taught everything he knows about being a sage by the wolves of his contract. He has had no former sage to teach him and as such, gathering Nature chakra has always been done a little differently. When Kaede first began his training, he would meditate to gather the energy, but as it was necessary to remain immobile during the process it seemed impractical. So, after forming his unbreakable bond with the wolf Renji, Kaede is able to combine with him. Kaede is then able to fight and move without the necessity to remain motionless and gathers the chakra himself, as Renji can meditate for him and transfer the energy gathered to Kaede. While the chakra gathered this way is often slower than what Kaede could gather through meditation, [20 pts] the ability to move during the process creates an invaluable tool. What makes this bond special is that Kaede and his wolf Renji don't need the Senpō: Ryōsei no Jutsu [Sage Art: Amphibian Technique]. [His wolf Renji also has the same special ability.]

Note: Normal Meditation is still required for the initial entry of Sage Mode.

Sennin Genso Ken - Active [4 pts][Not active]

Kaede is a practitioner of a special fighting style known as Genso Ken, or Elemental Fist. With this fighting style Kaede can channel elemental chakra to his hands and feet to amplify the effects of his strikes with Raiton based chakra. Because the fighting style is a direct byproduct of Sēji Ken, the training allows him to apply nature chakra while under the influence of sage mode to his physical attacks to increase the range of his physical attacks as well as the effectiveness of each strike. While the additional range is not much, only about a foot in diameter around his hands and feet, it does allow him to damage others even if direct contact is not made. By adding Raiton chakra into the mix, the element produced this way become much stronger, and changes color with the influence of Natural Chakra, turning the lightning black in color. Additionally, it can be utilized on any taijutsu technique Kaede has knowledge of adding the 3 pts to the cost of the original technique. Not only does this add great speed and strength to his taijutsu, but also adds the elemental effects of lighting respectively, shocking whatever he strikes. Can be turned on and off when required to maintain pts for other sage techniques required.

Maelstrom Techniques - Active [4 pts] [See individual Jutsu][Not active]

When Kaede was in his youth, he trained under Ryujin Takanashi. As member of the Ryujin clan the man was gifted with the Ranton Kekkai Genkai, a combination of Suiton and Raiton. The techniques fascinated the young Kaede, and in his training with the Jounin, he would learn about how combination elements came to be. Though he was not gifted with the clans legendary Kekkai Genkai, Kaede used the knowledge he learned from the man to use the two elements in tandem. It seemed near impossible at first, but with the influence of natural chakra, Kaede was able to produce a series of techniques he would later call "Maelstrom Techniques.” These jutsu did not produce the same effect as Ranton, however, it did allow him to influence his water techniques with lightning allowing the water to conduct the element to add to his techniques destructive force. While true, most of the techniques he created can still be used with just Suiton, the addition of lightning to these jutsu would add cutting strength to the water, in addition to shocking the target. The active part of the senjutsu required for these is added on to the jutsu so doesn't remain active at all times.

NAME: Don'yokuna
ABILITIES:
Ōkami Kenpō: Despite not having hands, the wolf king is an incredible swordsman. He has trained nearly his entire life as the guardian of a legendary blade, known as the Greatsword of Artorias. Due to the weapons size, Don’yokuna has developed impressive strength and speed through practice with the weapon, and as he holds the blade with in his jaw, the force of his bite has also grown much more powerful than some might expect, making it incredibly difficult to disarm the creature.

Cosmic Chakra Well: Don’yokuna has an incredible wealth of chakra at his disposal. So much so, that when he is summoned, his Chakra seems to radiate about him, creating a visible Aura around his body. Whenever the wolf utilizes his chakra, this aura can also be seen forming around whatever his chakra affects. When combined with a sage via the Amphibian technique, the effect of their two chakra's mixing has also been known to create a noticeable cloak of Nature Chakra.

Steel Fur: The wolf has trained for years with his blade, and in doing so, he has suffered from many wounds all over his body. Don’yokuna’s hide is naturally thicker than most wolves, which is especially useful when it comes to his combat abilities. His tough hide allows him to shrug off weaker attacks as if nothing happened.

The wind released from the attack creates a tornado like tunnel, and is capable of tearing the target to shreds from the wind pressure alone. The wind channeled from this attack moves incredibly quick achieving rates of 100mph, and its direction is determined from the swing of the weapon.

POST

-- On the Road to Nokoribi --

While there was indeed wisdom in Kaede's words, it did much in regards to being a reminder of the situation. While they were closing in on their destination, there was still the lingering sense of danger that wavered in the air. Only time would tell how long such smooth a transition would last. Yet with the start of a new day, an answer would come in the form of a scream.

Though the wolves would likely had made their presence known, it was the scream that would alert everyone in the camp of the coming dawn. The signs of panic traveled throughout the caravan as many of the smiths had only begun to meet the morning after such a festive evening of planning and celebration. Still, with this sudden shriek, this all changed within an instant, leading to everyone gathering at one of the tents.

As the dark haired female would back away, she'd then stare down at the bed of the old man whom laid within it, prompting her to point towards it with horror in her eyes.

There laid the elder man, his body limp, his eyes wide to the surface of his tent, and what appeared to be a trinkle of blood having managed to slip passed his lips. He appeared to have passed in his sleep, though it was clearly not a restful departure. Further investigation would show a small puncture wound against the side of his neck, a thin yet near invisible needle standing upon the depths of his skin.

How could this have happened when everyone had been so secure last night? A murder within the night...and by whom?

Alert in an instant at the sound of the scream, Yoshitaka was moving before his brain even considered it, scanning their surroundings for any dangers and finding nothing out of the ordinary. Or at least, nothing until he found his way to the location with the dead body, the old man laid out and nearly completely untouched but for the blood coming from his mouth. 

Silently examining the body, the Honō quickly found the thin needle in the man's neck, a slight frown spreading on his face as he considered what had happened. How had someone managed to sneak in and kill someone while three Elite Jounin were present? Why was it that this one old man was the only person killed? Did they have some sort of suspicious imposter amongst the group? It was still difficult, but it would have been easier to do so from within the camp rather than sneak in...

Looking over the needle, Yoshitaka tried to see if it seemed familiar in any way, whether he could place its point of manufacture one way or another. It might be hard to tell, but he had been the Spymaster of the Daimyo for a long time after all, so he might be able to make the call.

There had been a death in the camp, but how that didn't seem at all possible with the three of them being on guard. Kaede's wolves had also been on guard, if it had been an outside attack it would have likely alerted the wolves' presence, but it might not have if that had a means of covering their tracks. Yoshi had been the first one to respond to the death of the old man quickly doing the best he could with the information at hand an investigation. Kaede would signal for Gaara one of the three wolves he had summoned earlier to see if he could get a scent of anything from what seemed to be the murder weapon. Gaara had an enhanced sense of smell so might be able to track who or whatever had killed the old man. "Gaara see if you can pick up the scent of who might have done this and we might be able to track them down."

Kaede looking saw it was the same man he had just recently talked to while he was in charge of driving the carriage. It had been a shame that Kaede's last words were about them being not out of the woods yet, maybe Kaede should have used a different set of words, as it only seemed to serve as bad luck, but the damage had already been done and nothing can be done about it now, accept catch the murderer.



[IC COMBAT INFORMATION]

[Skills/Traits In-Usage]:


Incredible Chakra Reserves

Kaede was not born into a powerful clan. He has no special Kekkai Genkai, no family Hijutsu, or anything of the nature. He was, however, gifted with a wealth of chakra. Though it is uncertain just how much he is fully capable of, as he does not commonly use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, it is painfully obvious he has reserves capable of far outlasting the typical shinobi. When he combines his natural reserves with that of Nature based Chakra, he is capable of using multiple Senpo Arts back to back without showing signs of fatigue.

Inhuman Stamina

Many believe Kaede when he says that he was raised by wolves. And though this is due to many things, one very noticeable attribute he has to the creatures is his immeasurable stamina. Though Kaede will sweat and fatigue like everyone, he seems to have no off switch when it comes to just how far he is able to push himself. He claims it’s from "running with the wolves” so to speak, but this might not be far from the truth. One grand testament to this trait is that in his youth, Kaede would quite literally run for days on end for his training. When he first became a Genin, his Jounin sensei told him and his teammates to run until they no longer could. Though all three of them managed to run for hours on end, Kaede took the challenge quite literally. At the young age of only eleven, the boy managed to continue running for nearly three full days before he finally exhausted himself.

Genius Among Geniuses

Kaede’s mind is an incredible thing. He has the perception and intelligence to understand almost everything he touches, and if he can’t figure it out, he becomes obsessive until he can. From a young age, Kaede loved to learn, but more importantly, Kaede was also conscious of how to learn. Don'yokuna has the wisdom of generations. He trained Kaede as one of his own, and gifted him with the means of a much greater cognitive development than what he would have otherwise received through his Sennin Training. Though he was always smarter than what he led on, with his advanced thought processing, Kaede has become something of a genius. He can develop battle tactics on the turn of a dime, and seemingly read an opponent's movements through the patterns they display. Kaede is constantly thinking about hypothetical's of whatever situation he finds himself in, theorizing about nearly every possible outcome to find the best way to proceed. Though it took him years to develop this heightened awareness, the gift of learning became especially useful during his practices as a sage. The ability to balance Nature Chakra with his own was not exactly an easy feat, but with a combination of his natural talent, his ceaseless perseverance, and his unnatural cognition, even the sage arts became just another obsession for him to overcome.

Sennin Modō - Perfect Sage

Kaede began his training of the sage arts when he was around fourteen years old, and has spent the last twenty plus years perfecting his sage abilities. Though he is capable and then some with the likes of Taijutsu, Bukijutsu, Ninjutsu, and the other ninja arts, Kaede was found to have a pure talent of harnessing and utilizing Natural Chakra. Through years of hard work, training, and dedication, all paired with a little bit of talent, Kaede is now one of the very few to perfect the art of sage mode.

While in Sennin Modō Kaede would once take on many physical aspects of the wolf, from doglike ears, sharp claws and teeth, and fur covering portions of his body. However, after years of mastering his abilities he now hardly changes from his human form and his appearance only has a few wolf like features. The sage’s ears become pointed at the ends, and his canine teeth elongate slightly. In addition, his eyes begin to almost radiate light, and his right eye will change from his normal golden color to an intense icy blue, matching the Wolf King Don'yokuna. During sage mode, blue-green pigmentation will also form on the bottom half of his eyelids, leading to points just before his hairline.

For every round that Kaede maintains perfectly still to gather nature chakra is he able to gather it at the ratio of 40 pts per post. His threat cap is 130 pts and his stone cap is 400 pts

Ōkami Senses - Passive [1 pts][Active]

Kaede gains access to many wolf-like attributes while utilizing sage mode. When natural chakra is coursing through him his perception is increased, in addition to him gaining heightened senses of hearing and smell up to a kilometer's distance.

One with the Pack - Passive [1 pts][Active]

Kaede has been taught everything he knows about being a sage by the wolves of his contract. He has had no former sage to teach him and as such, gathering Nature chakra has always been done a little differently. When Kaede first began his training, he would meditate to gather the energy, but as it was necessary to remain immobile during the process it seemed impractical. So, after forming his unbreakable bond with the wolf Renji, Kaede is able to combine with him. Kaede is then able to fight and move without the necessity to remain motionless and gathers the chakra himself, as Renji can meditate for him and transfer the energy gathered to Kaede. While the chakra gathered this way is often slower than what Kaede could gather through meditation, [20 pts] the ability to move during the process creates an invaluable tool. What makes this bond special is that Kaede and his wolf Renji don't need the Senpō: Ryōsei no Jutsu [Sage Art: Amphibian Technique]. [His wolf Renji also has the same special ability.]

Note: Normal Meditation is still required for the initial entry of Sage Mode.

Sennin Genso Ken - Active [4 pts][Not active]

Kaede is a practitioner of a special fighting style known as Genso Ken, or Elemental Fist. With this fighting style Kaede can channel elemental chakra to his hands and feet to amplify the effects of his strikes with Raiton based chakra. Because the fighting style is a direct byproduct of Sēji Ken, the training allows him to apply nature chakra while under the influence of sage mode to his physical attacks to increase the range of his physical attacks as well as the effectiveness of each strike. While the additional range is not much, only about a foot in diameter around his hands and feet, it does allow him to damage others even if direct contact is not made. By adding Raiton chakra into the mix, the element produced this way become much stronger, and changes color with the influence of Natural Chakra, turning the lightning black in color. Additionally, it can be utilized on any taijutsu technique Kaede has knowledge of adding the 3 pts to the cost of the original technique. Not only does this add great speed and strength to his taijutsu, but also adds the elemental effects of lighting respectively, shocking whatever he strikes. Can be turned on and off when required to maintain pts for other sage techniques required.

Maelstrom Techniques - Active [4 pts] [See individual Jutsu][Not active]

When Kaede was in his youth, he trained under Ryujin Takanashi. As member of the Ryujin clan the man was gifted with the Ranton Kekkai Genkai, a combination of Suiton and Raiton. The techniques fascinated the young Kaede, and in his training with the Jounin, he would learn about how combination elements came to be. Though he was not gifted with the clans legendary Kekkai Genkai, Kaede used the knowledge he learned from the man to use the two elements in tandem. It seemed near impossible at first, but with the influence of natural chakra, Kaede was able to produce a series of techniques he would later call "Maelstrom Techniques.” These jutsu did not produce the same effect as Ranton, however, it did allow him to influence his water techniques with lightning allowing the water to conduct the element to add to his techniques destructive force. While true, most of the techniques he created can still be used with just Suiton, the addition of lightning to these jutsu would add cutting strength to the water, in addition to shocking the target. The active part of the senjutsu required for these is added on to the jutsu so doesn't remain active at all times.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Don'yokuna
ABILITIES:
Ōkami Kenpō: Despite not having hands, the wolf king is an incredible swordsman. He has trained nearly his entire life as the guardian of a legendary blade, known as the Greatsword of Artorias. Due to the weapons size, Don’yokuna has developed impressive strength and speed through practice with the weapon, and as he holds the blade with in his jaw, the force of his bite has also grown much more powerful than some might expect, making it incredibly difficult to disarm the creature.

Cosmic Chakra Well: Don’yokuna has an incredible wealth of chakra at his disposal. So much so, that when he is summoned, his Chakra seems to radiate about him, creating a visible Aura around his body. Whenever the wolf utilizes his chakra, this aura can also be seen forming around whatever his chakra affects. When combined with a sage via the Amphibian technique, the effect of their two chakra's mixing has also been known to create a noticeable cloak of Nature Chakra.

Steel Fur: The wolf has trained for years with his blade, and in doing so, he has suffered from many wounds all over his body. Don’yokuna’s hide is naturally thicker than most wolves, which is especially useful when it comes to his combat abilities. His tough hide allows him to shrug off weaker attacks as if nothing happened. Most standard attacks and weaker jutsu that collide with the wolf will seem to have no effect on him, however, chakra imbued attacks will still damage him like normal, and stronger jutsu seem to have the same effect.

Incredible Speed: Don’yokuna is a legendary creature, and is said to be one of the fastest wolves ever known. He is capable of moving at nearly blinding speeds, making it difficult to track his movements without the help of sharingan or similar abilities.

Special Equipment:

Greatsword of Artorias

ABILITIES:
Chakra Reactive: The Greatsword of Artorias is highly reactive to Fuuton chakra, and without such chakra channeling through the blade, it seems to be a simple, though gigantic, sword. Without Fuuton Chakra channeling through the weapon, the abilities the greatsword offers it’s wielder are rendered unusable, and as such, requires a constant stream of chakra (Low Per Post) to keep active. Active low cost

Wind Sever: Should Fuuton Chakra be channeled into the blade when the weapon comes in contact with flesh, it will glide through like a hot knife through butter. At first glance, the flesh will appear unscathed, spilling not a single drop of blood. However, this effect is short lived as the fuuton chakra imbued into the blade cuts so incredibly sharp and fast that the wounds do not seem to appear when the cut is initially made. When the wound finally appears, the cuts made tend to be far deeper than what would normally be expected, as the fuuton chakra adds to the cutting strength to the blade. Active low cost

Wind Scar: A strike so great it is said to be able to slay armies with a single swing. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, for this ability has rarely been used. By channeling a great amount of chakra (High) into the blade, the wielder will swing the weapon with incredible strength, unleashing a torrent of wind. The wind released from the attack creates a tornado like tunnel, and is capable of tearing the target to shreds from the wind pressure alone. The wind channeled from this attack moves incredibly quick achieving rates of 100mph, and its direction is determined from the swing of the weapon. The winds are released in a cone shape upon the swing of the weapon, reaching maximum distance of 100 meters deep, and 50 meters wide.

Requiem: Don'yokuna is a fierce practitioner of the Cleaving blade style of fighting, and the greatsword he uses is perfect for the practice. While using jutsu of this list with this weapon, the attacks seem to be stronger than normal, increasing the damage of all techniques B Rank and below by one rank. This is due to the fuuton reaction the blade is capable of. While channeling fuuton chakra through the blade, any technique of the cleaving blade gains the wind's cutting power, allowing the weapon to cut through even the toughest of armor. However, doing so does come at the cost of additional Low chakra in addition to the cost of the technique.

NAME: Gaara
ELEMENT: Raiton
TYPE: Wolf
SPECS: Taijutsu Primary, Ninjutsu Secondary
RANK: C


APPEARANCE:
Gaara is a peculiar looking grey wolf. Mostly covered in grey fur with a white muzzle and underbelly, the wolf laso bares a few tribal marks of blue over his face, shoulders, back, and tail. The markings across his body are nearly identical to the icy blue color of his eyes. Gaara is rather slender in appearance when compared to his packmates, with long legs in comparison to his body. He is also the fastest wolf of the Hunter Pack because of his long stride. From ground to shoulder, he stands at three foot four and weighs around 120 pounds.



PERSONALITY:
Gaara has a very stalwart personality. He hides nothing, seems incredibly blunt, and tells everything as it is, or at least how he sees it. He is never one to sugar coat a situation and can be trusted to tell you the things you don’t want to hear. Because of this, he is known to be quite abrasive, and often comes off as rude or disrespectful, when in fact he is quite the opposite. Though he cares not for proper manners and social norms, Gaara does have a high respect for the fellow wolves of his pack, or his direct alpha, whoever that may be.



ABILITIES:
Tracking
Gaara acts as a member of the Hunter Pack as their most skilled tracker. He has an excellent sense of smell and can stay locked on a specific scent to track it for 15 kilometers, even through rain. He also has very acute sight for things out of place, noticing in small detail if items have been disturbed from their norm, further improving his ability to detect where his target might have gone. Though these abilities are far from perfect and Gaara can sometimes be wrong, or even lose track of who or what he is tracking, though this is very uncommon for the wolf.

Pack Mentality
A trait that all five of the "Hunter Pack” have in common. The group of wolves all have a pack mentality and almost seem to operate under a hive mind. They are able to work together as a solid unit, each of them able to adapt to situations seemingly without flaw, as if they wolves were able to read each other's minds during their given task. It is because of this mentality and their ability to work together that these wolves are so dangerous when they are all in a group.

FROM THE FLAMES OF BATTLE I WAS FORGED, FROM THE ASH LANDS I BECAME ANEW, MY SOUL STANDS UNYIELDING TO THE CHALLENGE AHEAD


The Lioness frowned at the idea of an assassin slipping by three fully trained Jonins. Yet the proof that something like that had happened was before her. Both her and Jiro had been on watch and therefore it was on them that this death had happened. Yet there was something strange about it. Chisai looked at the area, trying to find footprints something out of the unusual beyond the shape of the prints left behind the travelers they were escorting, those of themselves and even those of their summons.

"Someone get a hold of her." Chisai would say coolly as eyes of lilac starlight would narrow in contemplation. "Just one... with the cover of night they could've killed more..." She turned to look at her kin. "They could've aimed for Yoshitaka as well..." Indeed why would an assassin ignore such a valuable target. It would cripple their ability to defend the rest of the smiths in the caravan, and it would sow even more panic to see one of their defenders undone.

Her glare would look at the smiths, still panicking, still worried that they would be the next and wondered if one of them had been the culprit. "All of you." She said, raising her voice, looking at them. "Saw anything strange? Anything different before you went to bed? In which tent did you sleep and who was in it? Went out to take a piss? One at the time, tell me." She would order them, wondering if she was being paranoid or if her gut feeling had some actual merit. They were after all skilled smiths and any of them could create a weapon capable of inflicting such injury. She needed to know if there was a traitor among them.
