A big event was happening on what appeared to be a global scale, and during such times very unlikely things in the world. One of those very unlikely things is friends becoming enemies, or in this case it was actually the reverse. As this event was happening it appeared that all the nations have come to the aid of the Hot Springs Country. Yuudai wasn’t particularly fond of the idea of working with the enemies of Amegakure but for now they were to be considered all on the same team so he would comply.

For this mission he was to serve as part of a scout unit to check out some strange metal pillars that were acting as lighting rods. Nobody knew where the rods came from but they were definitely part of this chakra zone nonsense that was going on. Yuudai didn’t really care about the details or anything like that, he just knew he was going somewhere to punch some metal beams. It sounded crazy if said outlaid but to him it made perfect sense, although he was very aware of the other factors and potential dangers that could arise on the mission.

He knew he was supposed to be meeting two others for this mission and they had a prearranged meeting point just outside of the chakra zone. He would be the first to arrive and so he would decide to find a nice spot nearby that was tucked away from prying eyes. This allowed him to see anyone before they ever seen, and such a spot was ideal while he waited for his allies for this mission.

[Tetsumaki Kai]

Kai came into view, a handsome, and muscular young man with an agile and athletic build. He wasn't wearing his special ops armor for this mission but had all his other normal equipment.  As he stepped forward, his sharp gray eyes landed on the figure he was meeting. His bangs fell lightly over his eyes, which some might find was adding an odd intensity to his gaze. With a swift, fluid motion, Kai approached the spot where his Yuudai was positioned. "Kai Tetsumaki," he introduced himself in a low, calm voice. "Looks like we'll be working together on this mission soon as the last one arrives." It was an obviously statement but it served to break the silence and ice of meeting someone from another village, and hopefully any animosity.  Kai's demeanor was composed, almost detached, but there was a quiet intensity about him that hinted at the power he held. He inclined his head slightly, acknowledging the other's presence without breaking eye contact.

"I'm here to help deal with these metal pillars," Kai continued, a hint of curiosity in his voice. "From what I've gathered, they’re acting as lightning rods. Any idea what we're up against?" Since Yuudai was first to arrive he figured there was a chance he had scouted ahead, but if not it at least showed that more than likely he wasn't too impulsive, or a loner and might work well in a team dynamic. His question was genuine, and despite his composed exterior, there was a readiness in his stance, as if he were prepared for anything that might come their way. 

[Nawo]

Truthfully, Nawo had little understanding of what was happening. It all sounded like wizardry and sorcery to her, or perhaps the gods of this land overflowing with wrath. But she wasn't the kind of person to refuse others who were in need, as long as she could help. And, besides, it would be good for the Siwnin-Suma and the Kur-Hekaci to be known as generous and gracious - if distant - neighbours.

The talk of payment had confused her, but she understood a little of how she could help. The terrain was unpredictable and dangerous, and these metal stakes were far from civilization. Nawo could assist with that much, at least.

She murmured a prayer to the mountain, then stepped into the clearing where they were supposed to meet. Though her clothes were fairly colorful - and distinctly both foreign and not of any hidden village - she stepped lightly. Between the bow, quiver of arrows, and sword and knife strapped to her, she was clearly prepared for combat, should such be required.

She overheard the conversation, and stalked closer, seeing that the others were keeping a low profile.
"Irankarapte," She greeted quietly but cheerfully. She indicated herself with a hand. "I am Nawo. Of Siwnin-Suma. You are..." She looked thoughtful, trying to remember the words. Her accent was thick, and it was clear that the language of these lands was not her native tongue. "Ram-Shiroshi-Aynu. Ah..." Her brow furrowed, then she struck a fist into an open palm. "The shinobi!" She seemed proud of herself, and placed her hands on her hips, before her expression grew more serious.

"The iron-sticks are problems. I can lead. But I do not know about iron-sticks. When we find... what do you do?" If these "lightning rods" were causing problems, or concern, perhaps they should be removed or broken. But if they were the work of the gods... Nawo only followed Kim-Totto-Kamuy, but it wasn't as though she sought to disrespect the divinities of other lands or people's.

It would take little to no time for the rest of the group to arrive and begin to speak to each other. The first to arrive was Kai Tetsumaki, and judging by his name it would appear that he was a ninja from kumogakure. The next member of the team to arrive was a young girl who clearly was not from anywhere close to the other two. Her accent was thick and she clearly did not speak the same language as them, natively anyway.

Yuudai would speak addressing them both by saying "Yuudai Shiba, chuunin. I haven’t gone ahead I just decided to sit here and enjoy the beauty of the chaos filled environment. Everything in life has a certain beauty to it no? As far as what we do when we find the pillars its easy, we just go ahead and break them.” Yuudai’s plan seemed very straight forward and logical but, of course it was going to be easier said than done.

Yuudai would hear Nawo say she could lead however he did not think it was wise to pick a formation lead with no information or insight on the members of the team. He would look to them both before saying "Maybe we should decide who takes point by skillset, I’ll go first. I am a nintai specialist, meaning I use a lot of taijutsu supported by my fire style ninjutsu… I also have this sword and with my kkg I am afforded super strength. Unless one of you is built like an actual tank I think its best for me to take point.”

[Tetsumaki Kai]

Kai listened carefully to the introductions and the brief exchange between Yuudai and Nawo. He appreciated Yuudai’s straightforwardness and Nawo’s willingness to assist despite her clear unfamiliarity with the local customs and language. Taking a moment to assess the situation, he decided it was time to introduce himself and share his own capabilities. "Kai Tetsumaki, Chunin of Kumogakure," he said, his voice calm and steady. "My specialization is taijutsu." I'll keep the gates under lock and key for now. No point in divulging all my secrets to someone who might be an enemy one day. Kai then looked at Yuudai. "Your strength and ability to take point make you a good a choice as any for the front. I'll take the role of support and flank. I can move quickly to any position that requires assistance and ensure we aren't caught off guard. Nawo, you stay between us and provide ranged support with your bow if needed."

He paused, considering their next steps. "As for the iron-sticks, or lightning rods, we should approach with caution. If they are causing disruptions, breaking them might be necessary, but let's make sure we understand their purpose and the potential consequences before acting. We don't want to inadvertently cause more harm." Kai's gray eyes looked to the group, to see if they agreed. 

[Nawo]

By Nawo's blank expression, she clearly did not understand much of what had been said. Her grasp on the language was tenuous at the best of times, and the specialized jargon was simply incomprehensible to her. She could guess at some of the meanings, but she believed she got the gist of it.

"I know how to walk the land. That is what I mean." Nawo wasn't sure exactly how to convey her meaning, but wanted to avoid misunderstandings, if nothing else. "If strength is good for the point, then take it." She smiled at Yuudai, trying to communicate a lack of irritation or malice. It didn't really matter to her, she just knew her skills rested more in travel and hunting than sorcery and the miracles of foreign gods.

"Let us go. Time is dying." Awkwardly stated, but the meaning was comprehensible, at least. Nawo glanced up at the sky, and remembered what she had been told. As long as she had a direction and a view of the sky above, she was confident in her ability to find these pillars. She had, after all, navigated the oceans to arrive here at all.

Despite her earlier conceding the van, it was clear that she did not understand what was meant by the point, and took long, rapid strides to guide the others to their destination.

Once Yuudai had voiced his concerns about the group’s formation for the mission, kai would speak on his skillset and say that he was fine being on the flank. Nawo would seemingly say she was fine with Yuudai taking point, however the language barrier became more clear as she would instead still decide to take point. Yuudai would simply laugh a bit as she ran off after saying time was dying. He would simply look to Kai and say "She is a energetic little dudette. We should probably catch up.” With no more words he would make his way to his feet, before beginning to follow after the girl.

As he began to follow behind Nawo, Yuudai would look up at the sky just in time to see one of the strikes of lightning come down to hit one of the rods off in the distance. Seeing this he would say to his team "We should probably go in that direction. Seems that lightning was unnaturally guided to that spot. Its most likely the spot that the rods are at.” Just as Yuudai would finish talking though, sounds could be heard a short ways away from them off in the brush. The sound would immediately catch Yuudai’s attention causing him to simply stop and hold his ground, while looking in the direction of the noise.

[Tetsumaki Kai]

Kai kept pace with the group, making sure to scan his surroundings as they moved. When Nawo suddenly took the lead, despite the earlier discussion, he couldn't help but respect her determination but also found it a little funny and would smile. He caught Yuudai's comment with a small nod, though his focus was already shifting to the task ahead.

As they walked, Kai's attention was drawn to a sudden flash of lightning off in the distance. Just as Kai was about to respond to Yuudai, a rustling sound from the nearby brush caught his attention as well. He paused immediately, his body tensing as his senses sharpened. His body prepared and settled into a combat stance instinctively, prepared for whatever might emerge. From the undergrowth, two things shot out with terrifying speed for their bulk. The creatures were about six feet long, with muscular bodies covered in a scaly hide. The scales a sickly yellow green, with occasional large scales of a dark green, almost glowing as if infused with the very lightning that had corrupted it. Their heads were broad and angular, with a pair of glowing, predatory eyes that burned with an intense, electric blue light. Sharp teeth jutted out from their powerful jaws, each one crackling with tiny arcs of electricity. Their legs were thick and powerful, ending in clubbed toes like an elephants. Along it's back were fan plates that seemed charged with lightning.

SPOILER: Click to show

Without warning, the creatures lunged at them.

[Nawo]

Nawo was no stranger to ferocious storms, but the gods of this land were clearly furious, to throw down so many bolts of lightning. Or, perhaps, the gods shielded their people's from the worst of the world's ire? A pity that the gods were not so easily found or spoken to.

Idle wonderings interrupted by the sound of something crashing through the undergrowth. Nawo halted, stance widening as she placed one hand on the hilt of her knife. Ipetam would remain in its sheath - it did not sound like what was approaching them was human. The other hand signalled the others to stop.

As it was clear it was they who were being charged, Nawo dove out of the way, springing off the ground with one hand as she completed the evasive roll. The blade was drawn, but held behind her back, the other hand raised placatingly.

"Please stop! We mean you no harm!" Nawo called out in her native tongue, and it was clear she was speaking to the beast, not to her companions. Her blessing should render her capable of speaking the beasts of all kinds, but she had never seen - or even heard of - one bearing lightning within it

It would take a few moments but Yuudai and company would soon find out what was making the noise, when 2 rather large creatures would emerge and try charging at them. With his quick reflexes Yuudai would begin forming the 4 hand seals needed before flexing his right arm and activating the devil bringer. With the devil bringer equipped he would stand firm and prepare for the impact of having the beast run into him. While it was not smart to engage these creatures in such a way without any intel on what they are or do, he was certain he would be able to handle the issue.

Yuudai would take a deep breathe as the beast came charging and right when the beast was close enough, he would launch an attack. Cocking his right arm back as far as he could he would let out a scream as he delivered a blow using his chakra enhanced strength. The power of the devil bringer combined with the chakra enhanced strength was no match for the large reptile as its body would go limp instantly upon impact. After delivering such a blow on the creatures scaly skin, Yuudai would shake his wrist around while saying "Damn that hurt…”

[Tetsumaki Kai]

Kai couldn't help but wonder why Nawo was attempting to speak to the beasts that were clearly out to defeat them. Her plea for peace, though well-intentioned, seemed hopeless against creatures driven by raw elemental fury. But he quickly pushed the thought aside as he focused on the task at hand. He additionally noticed Yuudai's devil arm and the chakra-enhanced strength he displayed. The sheer force with which Yuudai took down the first creature was impressive, and it provided valuable intel on him as a possible combatant one day. Kai now knew not to take a direct impact from someone like him, but rather to use evasive combat and taijutsu that redirected strikes. Yuudai was someone Kai would love to fight one day, a great match, he thought to himself. The thought only lingered for a split moment.

Years of training had taught Kai to think on his feet, and he knew that using any jutsu involving lightning would most likely be pointless on these beasts. Kai waited for the second beast to charge him, his body tense and ready. As the creature closed in, he executed Subakage-ryū: Sonído [New Shadow Style: Reverberating Turn]. With explosive acceleration, he circled around to the side of the beast, moving with such speed that the ground beneath him cracked from the force. The reptile, confused by the sudden disappearance of its target, barely had time to react as Kai raised his arm. Bringing it down in a swift, precise chopping motion, Kai used Naifu [Knife] to dispatch the beast by cutting down through the base of its neck, severing the spinal cord. The creature's body slide forward from it's momentum before closing it's eyes.

"Nawo, why did you try to talk to them?" Kai was generally curious. He had never seen someone try to talk to a beast trying to attack them before and it had opened him up to possibly being hurt in the process.

[Nawo]

Seeing the creatures slain, hearing their cries of rage and pain caused sadness to well up in her heart. Not enough for it to overflow, but it was always sad when any creature died needlessly. Especially if their deaths were far from painless.

With other tasks to attend to, she would not have the time to butcher the beasts. And they were not her kills, so she would not take any totems from them, either.

She knelt down beside the one Jai had slain, and placed a gentle hand on its side. Her clear blue eyes spoke of nameless sorrow.
"I hear them. They hear me. All children of mountain-shadow speak with beasts." She pressed her forehead to the side of the beast, offering a prayer that, as their bodies returned to the earth, life would flourish from them still. She couldn't expect the others to share her beliefs. Not even the Nishkotoro-Hekaci viewed beasts as she did.

Nawo straightened, and sheathed her knife."There is much path to walk, and no time to cut meat. Let us go."

Nawo took the lead again. If the sorcery in the air was driving beasts to this, she would do her best to resolve it.

Shortly after Yuudai had dealt with the first beast he would see Kai deal with the second, and he would also see Nawo try to… talk to them? Yuudai was a bit thrown off by the girl’s attempt to try and converse with the beast but he chose not to say anything. Being able to tell she was a foreigner he did not wish to say anything to disrespect her or possibly her culture. Disrespecting your team was the easiest way to harsh the vibe of a mission and lead to bad things happening, and Yuudai would like to do his best to avoid having another situation similar to when he was a genin.

Luckily for Yuudai’s curiosity Kai had decided to ask Nawo about her behavior, with the girl saying that her people could talk to beast and they could talk to her. Yuudai did not know if this was actually true but he knew that such a thing sounded interesting all the same. She would then retake the lead and begin to push forward, even though Yuudai did not feel she was fit to be in the lead after the situation they were just in. However Yuudai would simply follow along and say "Nawo I don’t think you should try that again. In all honesty it was probably a bad idea, we know nothing of these types of creatures to even think they can be reasoned with. Mistakes like that can lead to people dying… I’m ashamed to say I’m a bit too familiar with that.”

His mood visibly darkened, as the memories of his old team would fly back to his mind. However he would quickly shake the thoughts, as he needed to be prepared for whatever came next.

[Tetsumaki Kai]

Kai watched as Nawo placed her hand on the fallen creature, speaking words he didn’t fully understand, but he also knew they couldn’t afford to linger. The mission had to continue. Seeing her straightening up, Kai took it as a cue to move on. "We shouldn’t stay here,” Kai stated, his tone calm but firm. He started moving forward, hoping the others were ready to follow. After a short walk through the increasingly treacherous terrain, they finally came upon a series of tall metal pillars, each one drawing down powerful, constant lightning strikes from the sky. The air around them hummed with static energy, and Kai could feel the static in the air making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. The sight of the pillars, with lightning dancing across their surfaces, was both beautiful and daunting. Kai paused for a moment, studying the pillars carefully. The way the lightning was drawn to them was almost mesmerizing, but he knew it was a deadly trap. Getting close to those pillars without getting struck was going to be the real challenge.

He turned to his companions, his gray eyes thoughtful. "We need to figure out how to break these pillars down, but the problem is getting close enough without getting hit by the lightning,” he said, more to himself than to anyone else. Kai’s mind raced through different strategies, but nothing seemed foolproof. He then looked over at Yuudai, the fellow taijutsu fighter, and pondered for a moment before speaking. "Your strength would be useful here,” he acknowledged, "but the question is how we get you or any of us close enough to the pillars without getting struck. There is also the possibility of being attacked by those thunder beasts while breaking down he pillars.” Kai's mind worked through different scenarios, thinking about how they could use the environment, their skills, or even the lightning itself to their advantage. He knew they needed a plan that minimized risk while ensuring success.

"What do you both think?” Kai asked, turning to Nawo and Yuudai, inviting their input.

[Nawo]

Being admonished for simply trying to reach out to the obviously stricken animals... Nawo's hackles raised. Even though her sojourn had been short, it seemed most of the residents of the new world were reluctant to try to understand the minds of animals that were not human.

Surely one did not need to hear their voices to know that they usually only chose violence when threatened or hunting? If anything, those creatures seemed mad with terror.
"I can kill. But this is not a hunt." It seemed her mind was unchanged. After all, even if she focused solely on the imbalance of sorcerous energies, it seemed to her that the beasts stricken by it may have valuable insights.

It seemed Ipetam would remain sheathed. This did not appear to be the work of foul wizards.

"Arrow and knife will not break iron-sticks." Between her weapons and grappling techniques, she really had nothing to destroy or topple the pillars. The couldn't help but wonder at the sight. She had never seen a thunderstorm this strong, this persistent, this focused. But it was dangerous, so she kept her wonder to herself.

"I can... ah... ingara-iyashke-uk. The animals. Make them... look to me." It was clear she was searching for the correct word, and readied the bow as another means of communicating her attention. "And you break iron-sticks with magic." If the animals were truly suffering, she could alleviate it for them, but that was a lot of butchering and skinning to maintain the laws of her god.
