FotUG-Streets of Kiri [EVENT]

It had been a quiet few weeks with Mist- the villagers keeping to themselves and the mist nin keeping themselves scarce. Nothing more than a leaf stirred.
However, an interesting buzz began to run through the village as the rumour of a festival was confirmed. The village folk mingled with a light sprinkle of mist ninja in celebration of the unknown- possibly life, love and leisure. Whatever the reason, people were enjoying themselves rigorously.

Mika had decided to enjoy this day of relaxation, though she felt she hardly earned it the way her training had been going lately. She’d do some tomorrow maybe.

The medic had been in the mirrors maze attraction. She‘d gotten lost many a time and finally emerged on the hand of the attraction-owner. She blushed, thanked him and left the labyrinth, vowing she would never enter one ever again.

Upon leaving the mirror room, the first thing she would notice was the thick smoke that choked the air. She wrinkled her nose and began to look for the source, expecting to find a vendor burning his food supplies. Before she could locate the origin, her heart raced at the shocking sound of a large BANG. The medic’s head whipped over to the village entrance as she realized that the festival’s joyous atmosphere had just been smoked-out and blasted- people were no longer safe. They ran about in panic, families rushing their children home as the village ninja flocked to the scene. It was no secret; we were under attack.

Mika coughed as the smoke thickened and she realized that wherever this fire was it was spreading. She saw a slow sprinkle of ash blanket the festival as she searched and found the roaring orange flame to be at the south end of the grounds- near the children’s playground. She looked quickly and saw a handful of ninja head towards the gates—she knew she would be no help there.

Mind made up, Mika followed the other select few ninja that ran towards the village fire at quick speed. The closer she came to the angry flame the more her skin suffered the impressive heat it produced—this beast was threatening to ride the trees and seize the entire village. She saw through the smoke that the flames were getting awfully close to the village shops—wooden frames and roofs. This fire had to be contained.

The medic searched the grounds quickly- finding a barrel of drinking water with cups dangling from the rim out the front of a nearby shop. She mentally scolded herself at her lack of water techniques; ran over and began dragging the heavy barrel over towards the edge of the flame. As she struggled to drag the drum 4 metres to the flames, she saw one mist shinobi run into the fire-- she was shocked that he would risk himself like that. She quickly shrugged the thought off though-- mist ninja were here for the villagers- it was only natural. Mika tugged at the barrel again as she raised her voice to the shinobi within the angry orange flames “Hey! When you get the villagers bring them here; I’ll heal their burns!” she hoped that she didn’t sound like she was ordering him around, but now was not the time to think of such manners.

As she continued to pull the barrel closer to the fire, she heard a shrill shriek within the orange glow- a child, suffering intense heat and pain. Mika, shaking at the child’s cries of pain, raised her voice. “Hang on!” She then hovered her hands over the water barrel and fabricated two thick rolls of sterilized bandage. Once done she plunged them into the water- soaking them and shoved them quickly into her sleeves. Focusing her chakra into the bandage’s hemming, the medic then shot the soaking bandages forward at the speed of two kunai into the flames. They reached the child, wrapped around her waist and pinned her arms to her sides. Holding the other end of the two bandage rolls, using all her might, Mika wrenched the little girl out of the roaring flames in two harsh tugs- ran over to her and puller her over to the barrel once she was clear enough of the flames. Mika quickly tore the warm bandages from the child’s scorched body and focused her chakra into her hands- creating an eerie bright green glow. She ran the healing energy over the child’s worst wounds, then looked down into the sobbing child’s eyes. “Are you ok now?”

She handed the child a glass of water, who took it feebly, then she stood up and addressed the surrounding mist ninja - “Is anyone educated in water techniques?? Quick- put this fire out!!”
