Empty House... (Private, Pm only)

With a sharp Kunai to the abdomen, blood would stream out from Kotomi’s gut. The kunai would rip through her stomach, leaving a large gash in that would rip into her diaphragm and gullet. The pain alone would cripple any other person at that moment, and most likely kill off a weaker ninja. Kotomi however was no such mere ninja. She was a medic, and was capable of absolving any harm dealt to her from almost any attack. At the same time, she was still entranced by the young girl, mesmerized to the point in which she ignored the intense pain coursing through her body.

In the moment of the kunai ripping into the young woman’s stomach, Kotomi would relinquish her grasp from the shoulders of Yori and create two chakra scalpels. From the shoulders, crossing downward to both hips, Kotomi attempted to shred the internal organs of this young woman with one quick swipe. If allowed to, her scalpels would cleave pass the aorta, lungs, diaphragm, and throat of her little foe, without even breaking the skin of Yori.

Her hands would then press into her stomach swiftly, producing a healing green aura, synonymous of the Shoshen no jutsu (healing hands technique). Kotomi would dump the remaining amount of movements should could produce into healing the wound left by the young girl, who would be bleeding internally now from her pervious attack. Lastly, Kotomi would cease any further bleeding with her Ketsuki Gyouku (blood coagulation technique); preventing any further bleeding.

If the young woman before her had no further response, Kotomi would undo any and all damage to her, and she will continue to fight if need be... All for the sake of understanding why this woman caused her to function so.

Now fully healed, Kotomi would take the lifeless body of the genin with her. This was a act of self defense, and so she would not be persecuted in any court. With the corpse, Kotomi would experiment and analyze the body... finding any and all secrets it held.

Extending limbs
Rank:Genin and up

Special: Can be placed on any limbs of the puppet. Including the head.
Drawback: If improperly used, the limb can be chopped off by the opponenet. Grade material effects the delimbing as well. the size of a puppet also plays a major role. Larger puppets (B-ranked and up) might have difficulty with control. A large limb is heavier, less mobile and more costly, thus the reason for the difficulty.

Minus the sword ^^


Class: C-Ranked

Grade+Slots: "B" Grade Material/20 slots

Weapons:

"Chakra Gear"
Rank: All ranks
Type: Puppet supplementary weapon, seal based
(Consumes 1 slot)
Effect: A special gear placed inside of a puppet, which is used in conjunction with other weapons. Chakra creates rotation in the gear. (see more below)
Special: Maybe placed anywhere on the inside of a puppet. Must be used in conjunction with other weapons that require the chakra gear.
Drawback: ---
Description: The chakra gear is a very special gear that is roughly the size of a large, flat golf ball. The gear looks just like any ordinary gear (ex: like the ones within clocks), with the exception of kanji markings placed on the face of a gear. The kanji markings are a seal placed on one side of the gear that translates to “rotation”. The seal grants the gears the ability to generate momentum. Only a very small amount of chakra is required to allow the gear to rotate very fast. The gear can generate very efficient amounts of speed/torque for the chakra placed within it, and can even rotate object that are well over 10 times its own size. The purpose of the gear is to be used in conjunction with other weapons that require its ability to rotate. A puppeteer must merely send there chakra through their strings and into the gear, thus activating and rotating them.
Limit: Sold to only puppeteers. Puppeteer must have at least 100tp in puppet techs.
This item cannot be created in any way or form (you cannot start with it what so ever). It can be bought in any general store, but I repeat, it cannot be created (via puppet slot creation or other means). Only the members of the “Banraku” family (My family) can create the gear (valued creation = 5 cp)
Cost: If bought in a store, a single gear costs 500 Ryo
(covers the cost of seal and the gear as well)
Placemet: 2 gears. 1 in each Drill Blade {2 slots}

"Drill Blade"
Rank: Chunnin and up
Type: Puppet weaponry, 1 “Chakra gear” required
(One slot per size, plus the 1 chakra gear)
Effect: A special weapon used with chakra gears. Used to pierce and drill through enemies.
Special: May be placed on any limb of a puppet, Must have 1 chakra gear placed with it to use.
Drawback: (see below)
Description: The blade appears to be a long pipe and with a moderately thick drill type body and curved screw head. The chakra gear is placed directly behind the drill blade and allows it to rotate very fast. The blade can slash and cut well, but it is specially designed to pierce and drill through and opponent. With enough force, the spinning drill blade can easily be pushed through light armors, skin and harm internal organs. The drill blade continues to spin, regardless of what surface it makes contact with. This may be a very good quality or a very bad quality for the drill blade. Over usage and heat may cause the blade to break and shatter. in addition, sufficient force to the blades side may damage the entire thing (though very rare). While not in use, this weapon maybe stored within the puppet and spring forward from its compartments when needed.
Limit: Must be a puppeteer.
Cost: 250 Ryo per size of puppet (excluding chakra gears)
Placement: 2 in hands {6 slots}


Puncturing Cables
Rank:Chunin and up
Type:Puppet weaponry, Comes in three forms (See more below)
~1 cable= 10 slots
~3 cables= 20 slots
~5 cables= 30 slots
Effect: A sharp metallic cable that shoots out from the puppet to pierce and slash opponents (See more below)
Special: May be placed in any puppet limb or head (Chest cavity may not be used for weaponry, see more Below)
Drawback: No weapon may be place on the same limb as the puncture cable. The cable must be stored in the chest cavity, thus no other weapons can be place in within the chest cavity. The cables may be cut.
Description: The puppet’s said limb contains 3 inch diameter holes which quickly launches and deliver the deadly steel cable. The cable is roughly 2.5 inches thick, measures roughly 20 meters in length and is outfitted with an extremely sharp metallic tip. The cable itself is stored with the chest of the puppet, which is the reason why no other weapons may be stored within this area (as they may interfere with the cable itself). A specialize mechanism is used in conjunction with the cables, that allow them to be retracted and expelled very fast. To control the course of the cable(s) the user must merely insert there own chakra into the cables, which can aid in there direction and speed (though this may consume much chakra in the process). A puppet outfitted with this type of weapon may appear somewhat thicker and rounder in the areas in which the cables are placed. Additional cable length may be bought to increase the puppets attacking distance (but consumes additional slots accordingly).
~10 additional meters added to cable(s) = 1 additional slot added to the previous cable slots
Limit: Must be a puppeteer
Cost: Sold only to puppeteers (covers cost of mechanism and all)
~ 1 Cable = 800 Ryo
~ 3 Cables= 1200 Ryo
~ 5 Cables= 1800 Ryo
~ 10 additional meters of length = 200 Ryo
Placement: 1 cable in mouth plus two 10 additional meters of lenght (40 meters in total) {12 slots}

"Expelling Tank"
Rank: Genin and up
Type: Puppet weapon. Comes in two forms:
~Minor Expelling Tank = 1 slot per puppet size
~Major Expelling Tank = 2 slot base, plus 1 slot per puppet size
Effect: A specialized weapon which allows the puppeteer to expel various toxins/substances in Vaporous or Aqueous forms
Special: May only be placed in either the head, legs or arms of the puppet. The chest area holds the main tank, which contains the puppeteers choice toxins or solutions
Drawback: The cloud that is expelled from the weapon, can only travel in short distance, and can be affected by strong wind currents. In additions, the amount in the tank is limited to how much you put inside.
Description: A tank of liquids/solutions is rather small and stored either in the puppets chest or directly behind the release nozzle. The nozzle itself is only an 2in in diameter and sticks out only a few inches. The liquid/solutions are highly pressurized by the puppeteer, who uses his/her chakra to do so. The liquids/solutions in the tank can be released upon command by the puppeteer. Once released, the pressure converts any liquid into a vapor. Depending on the Type, these vapors and gases can cover a limited distance:
~Minor Expelling Tank = 1-10 meters long, 1-5 meters wide
~Major Expelling Tank = 1-30 meters long, 1-15 meters wide

Side note: The solutions in the tank necessarily do not have to be toxic or expelled into a gas form. The puppeteer can modify the tank so that it may expel a wide variety of substances, from sticky adhesives to sleeping gas (which must be stated by the puppeteer). In addition, the tank can expel liquids, much like a water gun, so chakra still creates pressure to expel; which means that only distance applies not width.
Limit: Must be puppeteer.
Cost: (does not cover solutions price)
~Minor Expelling Tank = 300 Ryo
~Major Expelling Tank = 700 Ryo
Placement: Mouth of puppet, "empty" (Minor tank x1= 3 slots used)

The young corpse of the genin was still warm in the hands of Kotomi, as she lifted her and brought her inside her home. The eyes now lifeless and still, Kotomi would proceed to walk forward into her home, and place the corpse onto her table top. She would proceed to examine the young girl's body. With delicate slicing of her chakra scalpel, she removed entered the body of the human being to explore what secrets it had to offer her. Maxwell did not wish to be apart of such examination, and took his leave to his own room where he rested.

Kotomi poked and probed as minutes turned to hours. She was a mess, was capable of placing all organs and body parts back in place as if nothing had happened. She would abuse the ability of her healing hands technique as well, allowing her to remove any visible marks or lesions she had placed onto the young corpse. With a thorough examination of this corpse, Kotomi could not find anything that would lead her to believe that the body had any extraordinary abilities, which would set her aside from anyone else. She appeared to be a normal person. Nothing more, nothing less.

Kotomi postulated then and there, that this young woman must have some form of genetic variance that bestowed such emotions onto Kotomi. Perhaps it was pheromone? Perhaps a specific chakra signature?... Nothing else could be deviated from this such examination... only more questions. Kotomi would decide to end the examination, and wrap the corpse in bandages she made from water in her sink. She would proceed to cover the woman neatly, and remove any blood left over from the examination. With the corpse neatly wrapped, she would take the body with her and exit the grounds.

"Maxwell" she called out
"I'm going to see someone. I shall return".

With that said, Kotomi would take her leave.

Name: "The Tricky Tunnel"
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Allows a tunneling creature to enter the earth in a veil of dust.
Special: ---
Drawback: Using this technique decreases the length of time in which a tunneling creature can burrow underground. So if a creature can burrow for 3 posts, they now can only burrow for 2. Dust cloud is easy to blow and wash away.
Description: Quickly slamming their appendages into the earth, the tunneling creature can quickly kick up a massive amount of debris and particles. The flurry of strikes does not only serve to get the creature into the earth faster, but also helps the creature kick up a ring of particles, which can obscure sight. The particles created with this technique occupy an area 2 cubic meters in size, perfect for covering the creature and fooling those who want to keep track of where the creature has entered the group. To a certain extent, this technique is like using a "Smoke Bomb" to hide where you go. When the creatures enters the ground, their back legs and appendages can also quickly cover up their entry point into the earth. This makes for a seamless entrance into the earth, where a tunneling creature can fool enemies who try to track it.
For every size category the creature is "C-ranked" and above, the size of this dust cloud increases by 1 cubic additional meter.
Limit: "Tunneling". Animal Helper.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;

It was dusk within the village of cloud, as Kotomi and her troupe of animals followed her home. The newest addition to the group was a very large armadillo, whom Kotomi and Maxwell had just recently encountered. She was found in the land of fire while on a pervious mission, and has hung around the ape and the medic ever since. Kotomi was not sure if the beast acted on the desire for food, or if it acted on the desire for companionship. Regardless, the young medic could always use a helping hand, and an Armadillo would be an excellent addition. Maxwell on the other hand, had an air of dislike toward him. He was protective of his kind and caring master, but also a bit jealous at the fact that Kotomi would accept such a creature so quickly into her circle.

Kotomi would bring the creature outside of her home first, to test the beast if it could be trusted and if it could be of use to Kotomi. With a wave, Kotomi would signal Maxwell to fly away in the meant time, and allow only the two to practice together. With a nod, Maxwell took residence into a nearby tree, and watched the following events unfurl before him. The young medic would unbind her newest collection of puppets from her body, and present them before the armadillo. At the very sight of the mechanical creatures, the beast scoff audible, and crosses her arms. Kotomi could not speak the language of this beast, and so she did not know how to react. Instead, Kotomi would do the only thing she knew she could do at the moment: control her puppets. With a flick of her wrists, Kotomi would send the marionette towards the beast, and analyze how it would react.

Upon approaching the beast, who stood a mere 2 meters away, the beast began to burrow into the ground below. It slammed its claws furiously into the ground, and began to make a rather a large fathering of dust beneath its feet. The beasts natural instinct of self preservation had kicked in, and it was attempting to move away from the puppeteer, or at least get away from the puppet. With a rather soft and melodic voice, the young woman would begin to speak, attempting to quell the anxious creature before her. The beast may have never encountered such a autonomous being before, but Kotomi merely attempted to allow the creature to understand it was safe.

"The object you see before you will not harm you" said the woman aloud.
"This is my art, this is my profession".

The beast slowed its action for a bit, and looked puzzled. It had a mixture of emotion drawn across its face: fear, terror, intrigue... Kotomi would lurch the marionette forward still, which startled the creature once more. It would still continue to kick up dust and attempt to burrow hastily into the earth. Fear provoked the creature to escape, and in doing so, a small area of dust had blanked the area before the young woman. This cloud covered the creature before Kotomi, and made it difficult to see it. A slight silhouette was left in the dusts wake, but the beast was still to large to escape in just one try. With another flick of her finger, Kotomi would lurch the puppet ever so slightly, forcing the beast to dig some more.
