The lands of Claw had been dotted with forests and several mountain locations. Within a large area lay large hives full of hornets and bees. A single young boy stood at the rendezvous area as he awaited the four persons to find him in the wilderness. He had no shirt on and wore baggy brown pants. His skin tone was tan and he wore a red bandanna around his head. 

---

... Deep within the area was a man hidden within the environ. He was the true pest and had to be exterminated before this Country could be freed of its antagonist. His actions were his own, yet it seemed that a higher power controlled his objective motives. Something sinister was coming.

Hatsu had finally reached the general area specified by the crude map that came with his mission details. In truth, he regretted not having a quality map made of the area as he was not a “skillful” shinobi as of yet. He had been notified just yesterday by a messenger bird that he had been promoted to Mizukage. This message came with some fancy looking kage robes and a nifty hat, which Hatsu wore since he had no better place for them.

Aside from the robes, Hatsu had three red poles about one foot in length each and an inch in diameter. They had buttons at the center which, when depressed, would extend the poles up to three meters (power poles ). He also carried a world map and a compass since he would be hopelessly lost without them.

The Genin would wander around the area, turning around and looking for any signs of danger every few seconds as he did so. He was looking for the client, but he didn’t want to get jumped by any bees along the way!

[Muu]

Land Of Claw/ /Something Is Buzzing In The Air!

        
[Enter]
Jumping off the low rock ledge into the forest area below, Muu landed in a crouch and gave the area a look. He couldn't tell anything apart, he wasn't use to such green, full foliage and he wasn't particularity enjoying it. Muu's lazy looking eyes picked up the occasional buzzing insect, but as of yet no bees or whatever he was here to see to. Sighing, he blinked, best not to go chasing for trouble he thought, he was sure to find it soon enough anyway.

The green short green haired boy rose up and started walking again. His fully stocked butt bag moved slightly as he did, full of his standard ninja shurkien, enough for one slot, some portable lights, two smoke bombs, as well as a small scroll, his world map which had gotten him this far. He wasn't absolutely sure where he needed to be, but if he recalled correctly he had to be in a forested area to meet his contact in Tsume no Kuni, the client that had requested shinobi aid. Muu idly wondered what kind of bee or bug problem would require the aid of ninja, but that too he guessed he would soon find out. He felt the comforting presence of his tanto, strapped beneath his coat to his lower back as he progressed in the trees, and the wire holder hanging next tot his but bag, the spool only mildly full. The familiar weight of his kunai holster, filled with two knives, on his left leg also made him feel more at ease. At least if anything did happen he would be well prepared at least.

He put his hands in his pockets as he moved on into the wilderness, his headband hanging from his belt and the odd dress of the boy not exactly fitting the environment, but Muu was bothered by it mostly. He did find it a little to hot for his liking, and occasionally pulled at his collar. Small beads of sweat formed on his head and he hoped he would find this person, this client soon. He didn't know how much more of this wandering he could take.

Tadao managed to leave the pirate vessel he traveled on through the ocean route to make it this way. Lucky he had his gyro compass along the way with his tentative smile that creeped all those pirates out to no extent. He only grinned and moved on with his wayward feelings while looking and expecting this region. Along the coast it wasn’t much of anything, this land of the Claw. He knew nothing really of such a place while traveling, or during his travel. However once he found a path more inland, he followed it, quite lost in this foreign land yet basic instincts guiding him. Some sort of bee trouble or something was going on but he barely paid attention to the pamphlet that led him this way. Moving more towards the inland was the goal though while using his compass to utilize the true north direction to the path of which he was set to find.

Clothed in flamboyant red clothing, matching his scarlet hair he truly stood out like a flower. It was the eventful extra large clay bag on his back that made any difference to his frail appearance as his smile remained, both hands gloved in the traditional butler glove made to hide his extra mouth. It was necessarily a normal day, and one he hoped to survive to the fullest in some extent while moving outwards and onwards with a steady sense and bated breath passing him by. However there was only one thing that made him afraid for the moment, truly afraid and that was, there weren’t any sounds. No buzzing in his area for bees, no whispers of a man’s breath, and no love song from the birds. It was just wrong when he walked through the area and just heard nothing but the crunching gravel beneath his feet along the pathway he walked. He started to twirl the monoscope camera in his hand with all its features in one just feeling it was there while walking gave him something to do.

Hecate had arrived during daylight at least, docking in hew rowboat, her muscles worked but not sore. Her blood pumped though, the want, the need, to fulfill her gods wish was burning a hole in her soul. Off into the woods she set foot, glancing around, traveling several meters at a time, coming across recently trampled ground and stopping immediately. Perhaps this was her reason to be here?

[Requesting a tracking roll, if applicable.]

The ground looked recently traveled, and upon following it she found that it led much further into the forested area. On her back was a Rapier, a double bladed scythe and six scrolls wires to her back by two meters of ninja wire. Beneath one cloak was 2 meters of rope and two butterfly yoyo's. On her face, masking her pale skin and green eyes, was a single filter gas mask, the filter empty, built in anti flash goggles. She had 1 A and C filter tucked in her cloak, two multi tools and one 8 inch flashlight.

"Where are you going little rabbit..." she murmured, taking out her scythe as she followed the tracks. Death was in the air...and bee's. fucking little annoyances.

[Tracking Tadao, seeing he is the only one to mention traveling by sea and I did as well.]

{Tracking: 57; Advanced. Determine certain attributes of creature(s) leaving tracks (approx. weight, recent injuries, etc.); recognize tracks or prints of a species the tracker is familiar with. [I.E Human footprints}

"Hey, mister!" screamed the young boy who had been stationed in Tsume Kuni, in search of the four explorers who would rid his peoples of the infestation. He waved his hands toward Gohan as he approached him. Only when he got within about a meter of the man did he realize that he was from a foreign land; perhaps he hailed from Mizu Kuni, the boy thought, noting the man's blue and white robes and hat that bore the kanji of water.

"Hey.. you don't look like you're from around here.. I bet you're here for the mission!" The young boy would nod before motioning for Gohan to follow him: he turned westward as he sought out the others, guiding by some knowledge of the lands and his growing Sensor abilities. It didn't take too long to find the next participant, as the incessantly buzzing of wings only amplified in this area.

"Yo, Vomit Head!" he called out to Muu with his hands cupped over his mouth, trying to amplify his voice over the droning. Had the Yuki ninja not heard him, then he would see the boy waving him down alongside Gohan. The duo had wanted Muu to join them, obviously.

Elsewhere, a young red-haired man had gotten a decent lead on the woman who tracked his footsteps. From about a twenty meter difference, Hecate would follow Tadao's trackings; the direction that the two had been going in wasn't too far off from the loud droning and the other three males. They both would be upon them in no time, had nothing perilous befell either of them...

Hatsu had been wandering around for about thirty minutes before some kid seemed to find him. He had no idea how the kid had done it, but Hatsu wasn't one to complain about getting out of work. It was difficult to hear him, however, since there was a buzzing noise coming from what seemed like the entire area. It was quite unnerving!

"Yes I am!" Hatsu would reply with a smile. He would follow silently as the boy looked around for others and soon found them. IT seemed as though he was really familiar with the area, or just had some way of detecting chakra. Hatsu would keep up his vigilant and periodic inspections of their surroundings. He didn't want to be surprised if something came out of nowhere.

[Muu]

Meeting Up/ /New Acquaintances

        The insensate buzzing of insects around him was growing steadily slowly. To say it was irritating Muu was an understatement. He knew what bugs were, but being from such an arctic location he didn't often have to deal with this many. His mood was growing more annoyed by the moment as he scanned the area with his lazy, droopy eyes looking for something that didn't seem to belong or anything interesting.

When he heard a shout, somewhat distant and droned out slightly by the buzzing, but Muu was sure it was meant for him after a quick glance around. There was no one else around him, so when he finally locked eyes with the source of the shouting, he saw a young boy, near another figure in a white robe and hat from what it looked like. Muu stopped and blinked. He guessed this was who he was suppose to be meeting and if not well then maybe at least he could get some directions.

He made his way over to the duo, nodding to them both as a form of greeting, before settling his lazy eyes on the younger boy. "Hey, Kid, do you know about any sort of problems around here or know of anyone waiting for some shinobi?"

His question was blunt, but he didn't want to waste time babysitting if this wasn't the person he was suppose to meet. He let his eyes float between the small boy and the other robbed stranger. He was right about the clothes he noted, white just as the hat with the symbol for water, maybe this guy was from one of the villages associated with water, maybe the Mist or Waterfall. He figured it'd come out sooner or later, but for now figuring out if he was in the right area was his concern.

[Celti Hyūga]

Tadao’s walking consisted of examining the fauna and enjoying the aromas of this very quiet, sadly so, area. His eyes scanning while moving along before noticing something up ahead, a group of individuals all up ahead. One of which he recognized from the hospital who seemed more safeguarded for pudding than anything else did that seemed important at the time being. Tadao himself did not remember the name while the second of the three stood out more so than anyone else. Dressed in the white robes with blue symbolic lining with the hat that proved to be the Mizukage’s own. How did a youngling like this become a Kage, was the only thing that Tadao wondered about while moving towards the grouping, having curiosity track and befall upon his thoughts all at once while noticing something about the youngest of the mixture as it was just a small child of his own making.

The red bandanna there as well as Tadao’s ears picking up the upcoming noises of what can be possible surrounding. He waved up onto them as he smiled kindly with approaching smiles. “Ahoy there, hope you all are doing well.” He certainly had a vibrant enthusiasm to himself, looking at them and enjoying a possible enjoyment as his eyes looked at all of them before approach and nodding off to the boyish mizukage, “Pleasure to meet the Mizukage as well, though I thought things like this may be beneath a… man of your position.” It was not meant to be snobbish, but it was perhaps meant to be a possibility that for someone so young, there was envy in Tadao’s voice most certainly. Already he was feeling himself far too outside his element here, and wondered if the individual who seemed most empowered was in charge, or the youngling who called them all there was the one in charge, whoever it was Tadao would have to be careful of them.

[💀]

The tracking was steady as she goes, taking Hecate through a slew of trees and other fauna and flora. The longer she walked the more she felt the pull of anticipation. Just who was she tracking though? The footsteps were precisely human, about 5'9 maybe 5'10 from he length of the stride. They werent heavy though, very light, lighter than herself, possibly 100 lbs give or take. With a few steps she was in a clearing, on line of trees separating her from another opening, when she heard voices. Voices meant people, people meant sacrifices. Sacrifices meant pleasing her Lord.

He didnt make herself known yet, instead she remained behind the trees listening, keeping still, the mentioning of a Kage piquing her interest. "Praise Jashin..." she murmured, brandishing her scythe and wiping the expression of happiness from her face. With brutish heavy strikes she plowed through the overgrowth, her eyes downcast, looking up at the group of, now 4, as if she had no idea they were event there. "Oh, good day!"

She called out to them in a manner that she hoped sounded like true surprise. Rolling her scythe around her wrist before putting it away. "By chance, would any of you know about a...bug problem?" She emphasized this by smacking a bug that had landed on her neck. Without looking at whatever she had killed, she wiped her hand on her robe and smiled broadly. Looking deeper it was obvious something was off about her, a twinkle of the eye that was always just out of perception to those without aided observation.

She then looked from the green haired individual, to the native boy then to Gohan. The robes he wore, they were unlike any she had seen before. She had never seen a Kage, barely knew the identifying markings of ninja headbands. But she knew them well enough. The green haired boy was from Yuki, a snow nin, she had never seen snow before. The boy, Goahn, wore special looking clothes and had the "Mist" Kanji inscribed on his hat. Clearly the Kage. The one she had been tracking though? He didnt seem to have a headband, least that she knew of, considering she had only seen him from the back. Surely if she used what little observation skill she had, she could see the cloth tie in his hair signifying that, if he turned around, she would see his headband identifying him as another Yuki nin.

They were all beneath her, she believed it too. That her purpose transcended anything that mere man could appoint to her. It was with this proud aire of bravado she carried about her, that she dare approach them without the slightest hint of fear. The skies would rain red today of Jashin willed it to do so.

[acids]

The Pollux youth seemed friendly, but who knew what disposition he truly was made of? With a coy smile and wave, he welcomed the approaching male, and female that stalked him. His Sensor abilities had indeed been increasing..

Just as the final two persons walked up, Muu recieved an urgent letter from the ship captain that had brought him to the land of Claw. Apparently, something had happened with the cargo and he was needed back on the ship. Before he got a chance to talk to Gohan and the red-bandannaed boy, he walked back from the way he came with two men acting as guards.

Yoshi blinked as the red haired Snow ninja made the claim of the first man being the Water Shadow. "..Such skill," he said. His eyes beamed towards the man. "Maybe you'll be able to defeat the enemy by yourself, Mizukage-san!" Whether or not Gohan was who Tadao said he was, Yoshi knew not. He really didn't care either way.

Once Hecate came near, Yoshi tensed up. Her aura seemed different from these two men. He saw how she squashed the bug on her neck and then he laughed a bit.

"It's pretty obvious, isn't it? Can't you hear the hornets?" He turned and waved in an arcing manner, noting how the noise seemed to come from everywhere.

"I'm Yoshimitsu, you guys are gonna clean up these bugs.. I don't wanna get stung so I'll show you all exactly where the hives are. There are six of them, though; and since the fourth guy left, I guess it's up to you all to take on two a piece.. or something like that." He was walking to the east now, as he pointed out locations of the nests. He didn't care if they paired up to take on the infestation. 

"Okay. There is a nest just up there," he said, pointing to his right, "and there are two over there..." his finger then trailed to his left. He didn't have to tell them to be careful -- these were stinging insects that they had been up against.

“The pleasure’s all mine,” Hatsu would respond to Tadao’s greeting, “I’m just a shinobi, no different than you.” It was true, Hatsu wasn’t that developed as a shinobi yet, having spent most of his life in his vapor form. Then came a girl who killed a bug for no particular reason other to make a joke. How dare she kill that harmless insect. He would greet her with a nod and nothing more.

The group of five had just been formed when a teammate had to suddenly leave. It only meant more work for those who stayed, and it wasn't like Hatsu was all too sure of himself to begin with. Well, if they were going to do this, they might as well get it over with.

"If I remember correctly, there is someone controlling all these wasps. Watch your backs."

As Hatsu said this, he gave his teammates quick glances and performed handseals before releasing his chakra. Within several seconds, the air around the group calmed, then suddenly started flowing outwards from their position. The wind would be approximately 30mph and would hopefully make it harder for the bees to fly towards them during their attack.

Hatsu would then pull out one of his power poles and activate it, extending it to its full length of 7 ft. He would wait to see if anyone had a preferred method of attack. If not, he would just go on his own.

Tadao grimaced at the site of the wasps after the introductions were made. He himself had little skill, knowing that his own personal skills were all but useless in this situation as he looked through his monoscope and flared an eyeball through it. He followed after and listened to the Mizukage's voice, hearing what he had to say about the situation and with any luck Tadao could use the others as possible shields for himself, given how all he had going for him was length of sight from his monoscope's attachments. Saying to each of them, "Well, you could probably treat me as nothing but an academy student currently, I don't really know anything about fighting personally." His voice soft and modest of himself as he waved a hand in such simplicity. Indeed, he may be the first to die.

Note: Short post, sorry.

Guided along the island, Hecate made a note that 1 of the 3 had been called away, much to her own displeasure, a pout tugging the corner of her mouth. Perhaps Jashin didnt want his blood? That was no concern, she had the other two, perfect tributes, her eyes on their backs as she brought up the rear of the small trio. Yoshi, as she would come to call him eventually, pointed out three nests, the bees humming loudly in their mindless work. They had no idea they were there, or ere simply paying them no attention what so ever. That was fine by her.

"Lets make short work of this, hmm?" She took out her scythe and shouldered past Tadao, taking two well aimed practice swings before she walked within 8 meters or less of the hives and she felt the moderate wind at her back, smiling to herself as her body began to flicker and she became a blur of motion. In near instant she closed the distance, her scythe at the ready. The typical scythe was 6 ft in length, adding to her 5'9 frame with the wicked 3 foot blade. She swung the scythe fluidly to sever the brace right at the stem of the Hive. The winds were rough, 30 miles per hour, a less sturdy individual might be knocked over. From the rustling of the trees it seemed the wids was all around as well.

The hive crashed and the bees would surely be peeved at the attack, but they would have to catch her first, another flickering of the body as she arced in a wide half circles and swung her scythe once more, severing another branch that held one of the three hives. As it fell she would stab her scythe forward, impaling it them whipping the blade swiftly to cleave the construction into two halves. With less that 10 meters separating her from the group the wind would surely keep her safe for the most part. However, she couldnt trust ninja; they always had their own agenda.

For precaution she would spin the scythe around in her hands, using it as a deflection for any of the bees that would surely attempt to fly against the winds, stemming from the hive directly in front of her. Her footfalls were quick and stealthy, retreating back towards that group as if nothing had happened at all. "Am I going to do everything you two?" she called as she headed towards the group.

Yoshimitsu's bandanna whipped as the winds around Gohan grew in speed.  He was impressed by this technique--something that he'd never seen before. "Wow.." Once the Kirigakure ninja pulled out his red pole and increased its size to over two meters, Yoshi beamed, "I wanna red pole like that!" Red had been his favorite color, obviously.

The group began to go toward the single hive located to their right as Tadao began to reveal the truth about himself. He admitted that he was a novice, yet Yoshi would encourage him on: "I'm sure you know something that could aid in getting rid of these pests."  Yoshimitsu would have sighed and agreed with the boy had he not been the one directing them to their possible graves. What shinobi doubted themselves on a mission they'd signed up for?

---

Apparently, the only member who had true bravado was the female. Once the massive hive, a large one that reached a height of four meters and a meter wide, came into view, she had opted to push ahead of the group. Yoshimitsu could only watch as she performed her scythe work, praying for her safety from such a stupid movement. The vespid creatures that called the large hive their home had been terrible in number. About a hundred or so flew around on the outside, acting as protectors, as hundreds more lay within their honeycomb abode.  The result of her solo efforts would fall back completely on her herself, thus unleashing the full scope of what the hive held to be some three hundred wasps and bees. The explosion would have caused shock to those who had seen how vast the numbers of a single hive had been, instead of attacking head on, perhaps the others wouldn't follow suit of the non-ninjas rashness. Most of their ilk did lack the intelligence to work as a team.

Hecate had chosen to attack the hive head on and without aid from the others. While Gohan's Controllore Dei Venti did protect the group from outside forces, Hecate had moved outside of the safeguard, well within range of the wrath of the creatures she had just made homeless. Her Shunshin kept most of the insects away from her; however, the hornets had came in swarms at her, in more than one direction. The mass swarm -- which was large enough to appear as a single large creature -- would have been more than enough to strike a sense of doubt into those who dared challenge their Legion. A volley of one hundred stingers erupted forth from the bottom of one hundred abdomens, appearing as senbon before those who witnessed the hive-mind attack. Hecate's spinning blades had deflected a majority of the projectiles, but even swift spinning attacks had their drawbacks. 

This would all happen before she had managed to retreat back to the group, who would have either ran away, stood in awe, or offered to aid the woman who had just awakened the nest of 300 vespid drones. If in the event that Gohan's safeguard did extend outward to Hecate, she would still suffer from her rash attack, where she was able to deflect most needles with her weapon, and Gohan's wind technique blocked some as well. Five stinger-senbon would stick into her legs, which had been unprotected in her attack.

Hecate was the only one who chose to rush a head and attack a hive. She would destroy it; immediately after her Shunshin Ko, the wasps pursued her. They would attack from 3 directions: behind, in front and to the right of her. Her spin attack deflected most, yet not all of the Hachi Senbon, leaving her open for exposure to the attack. 5 stingers to the lower body, resulting in weak/woozy feeling for next 2 rounds.

Technique Used//
Hachi Senbon (Bee Stinger)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Several bees shoot their poisonous stingers at the opponent.
Special: Ram, Dog, Tiger, Ram
Drawback: --
Description: The user forms the hand seals, pushing his chakra into the bees surrounding him. The bees then shoot their stingers at the opponent like senbon. If struck by the stingers, the opponent will be weak and woozy for two rounds as a result of the poison within the stingrs.

Nothing personal of course in any action that I make. You decided to go forward and proceed into battle alone before I was able to describe my post [this one], which would then prompt you all into battle [the posts following this one]. I stated such in my previous post for reference. Of course I appreciate your post, though, as you helped me build my own.

It seemed as though the girl with the scythe meant business. She seemed quick to take advantage of the wind to dash forwards and obliterate one of the hives. As soon as he saw just how many bees they were dealing with, Hatsu decided that it was time to act.

“Take it,” He would say to Yoshi as he tossed the polearm to him. While he did so, the Mizukage would focus and take a second or two to grasp hold of the surrounding wind with his chakra and shift the direction of the winds. Whereas the wind had been pushed outwards away from the eye, the wind now rotated very suddenly in a clockwise direction. This would hopefully throw the bees off a bit and reduce the effects of the bee’s attack.

Whether or not this would work, Hatsu focused and started to disperse into a vapor. He didn’t have nearly enough time in the round to complete this and he would finish in a good six seconds or so. He intended to transform his finger into a wind blade and try imitating the woman's approach albeit a bit more safely. Hatsu wasn’t sure what the third teammate was going to do. He seemed ill prepared to deal with the wasps and didn’t seem that confident.

Forma di Vento (Wind Form)
Rank: "C", "B", "A with signature jutsu trait", "S"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Transforms the user in to a cloudlike vapour substance that is in the shape of their own body.
Special: ---
Drawback: A Scirocco will die if they are crushed by something larger than their maximum normal volume weight.
Description: When the user transforms their whole body as well as all items on them (including clothes) they become a vapour, cloud like substance. In this substance they are able to move around but at this moment are unable to fly, since they are still heavier than the air that surrounds them. In order to fly please look at the Wind Walk technique. Depending on the user's knowledge in the technique depends on the strength of the ability. Their cloud like vapour body is connected by a centralized core that cannot be seen by the naked eye within the cloud like vapour. If the core is destroyed the Scirocco will die. The time it takes for a Scirocco to change into a vapour is equal to the amount of time it takes to form the handseals for a jutsu of the same rank as the rank of Wind Form.
"C" Rank Technique - User is able to transform them self into a cloud like vapour substance within 2 meters by 2 meters by 2 meters of distance while retaining the same amount of mass as they normally would. The central chakra core is the size of a basketball at this point. All Fire Release Techniques and any Earth Defence Techniques have an effect of 3 ranks higher than normal while in this form. TaiJutsu techniques phases through this form however energy attacks do work such as Fire Release and Lightning Release. User is unable to perform TaiJutsu techniques as well as any other techniques that are "C" Rank and higher other than any other Scirocco technique.
"B" Rank Technique - User is able to transform them self into a cloud like vapour substance within 4 meters by 4 meters by 4 meters of distance while retaining the same amount of mass as they normally would. The central chakra core is the size of a softball at this point. All Fire Release Techniques and any Earth Defence Techniques have an effect of 2 ranks higher than normal while in this form. TaiJutsu techniques phases through this form however energy attacks do work such as Fire Release and Lightning Release. User is unable to perform TaiJutsu techniques as well as any other techniques that are "B" Rank and higher other than any other Scirocco technique.
"A" Rank Technique - User is able to release transform them self into a cloud like vapour substance within 6 meters by 6 meters by 6 meters of distance while retaining the same amount of mass as they normally would. The central chakra core is the size of a baseball at this point. All Fire Release Techniques and any Earth Defence Techniques have an effect of 1 ranks higher than normal while in this form. TaiJutsu techniques phases through this form however energy attacks do work such as Fire Release and Lightning Release. User is unable to perform TaiJutsu techniques as well as any other techniques that are "A" Rank and higher other than any other Scirocco technique.
"S" Rank Technique - User is able to release transform them self into a cloud like vapour substance within 8 meters by 8 meters by 8 meters of distance while retaining the same amount of mass as they normally would. The central chakra core is the size of a marble at this point. All Fire Release Techniques and any Earth Defence Techniques have no added effect while in this form. TaiJutsu techniques phases through this form however energy attacks do work such as Fire Release and Lightning Release. User is unable to perform TaiJutsu techniques as well as any other techniques that are "S" Rank, but is able to perform all Scirocco techniques.

Limit: Must be a Scirocco.

Controllore Dei Venti (Controller of Winds)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User can alter wind force in the area surrounding them. They can make the wind blow in a certain direction or manner, increase its strength, or decrease its strength.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: The new wind direction and strength persist until the technique ends (10 minutes per Class Level) or until the user chooses to alter the technique, which requires concentration. User may create an “eye” of calm air up to 25 feet in diameter at the center of the area if the user desires, and the user may choose to limit the area to any cylindrical area less than their area. User may choose one of four basic wind patterns to function over the technique's area. Which are
A downdraft blows from the center outward in equal strength in all directions.
An updraft blows from the outer edges in toward the center in equal strength from all directions, veering upward before impinging on the eye in the center.
A rotation causes the winds to circle the center in clockwise or counterclockwise fashion.
A blast simply causes the winds to blow in one direction across the entire area from one side to the other.

Depending on the user's ability to perform this technique depends on the user's ability to perform this technique.
"D" Rank - Strong winds (21+ mph) make sailing difficult.
"C" Rank - A severe wind (31+ mph) causes minor ship and building damage.
"B" Rank - A windstorm (51+ mph) drives most flying creatures from the skies, uproots small trees, knocks down light wooden structures, tears off roofs, and endangers ships.
"A" Rank - Hurricane force winds (75+ mph) destroy wooden buildings, sometimes uproot even large trees, and cause most ships to founder.
"S" Rank - A tornado (175+ mph) destroys all nonfortified buildings and often uproots large trees.
Limit: Must be a Scirocco. User cannot learn ranks of this jutsu that are above the user’s rank.

<Its an Event, I presume nothing is personal...less there is some underlying guilt? e.e minor discrepancies but I like war wounds.>

Wonderful, the peasants were catatonic. Only Gohan was responsive it seemed, using his wind to stir the airs and guide them under his control. It seemed her was a rather adept wind user. However Hecate was not one for dawdling, making such swift work of the hives as her energy restored and she prepared another shunshin. It was when it started she felt the sting of the inches long stabbing weapons of the wasp embedding in her body. "When the hell.." She groaned, her body flashing, exiting the shunshin, and toppling into a clumsy pile over her own feet. "Blegh."

Sh was no stranger to pain but the poison made her shake, the strength leaving her muscles and the world spinning for a moment. She felt nauseous and unstable, close to hurling but she stood none the less and brandished her scythe like she always did. The stingers stood out in her skin but she cared not for safety, wrenching them free and tossing the organic creations of pain aside. She was withing the vortex of Gohan's ability and used it as a reprieve for the time being, standing on somewhat shaky legs.

"It'll take more than a few bitch stings to take me down." She sneered into the oncoming wave, looking for a weakness within the Legion. Surely Gohan's wind would throw them off course, it was stiff enough to push her in a weakened state, no way an insect could fly through it, but ho long would this haven last? She was more of a one on one fighter, swatting the insects would take...so much longer one on one.

[Shunshin used- 1]

[acids]

The pole that had been thrown to Yoshi would soon afterwards click and extend to its full length as he'd prior performed the seals for a ninjutsu. With a strong swing of the polearm, a vicious gust of wind tore the entire vespid army into pieces. With the aid from Gohan, this movement had been made swift and even more so powerful, since the Pollux boy supplemented Gohan's own winds with his impressive chakra.

"There we go!" he shouted as he pressed the button on the staff, causing it to retract to a smaller form. In the midst of the fiasco, it appeared that another shinobi of Snow had disappeared from the area, perhaps now back on the trail in which he had entered. They would definitely be some of the last ninja selected for the next mission. Yoshimitsu stood beside Gohan as Hecate started to limp woozily. He laughed a bit before he walked away from the defeated hive, now on to the remaining few.

"C'mon, guys--it's just a few more left!"

He seriously hoped that he wouldn't have to bail them out of trouble again... they were the ones who were getting paid to do this mission, not him.

In Character
-- Tadao is now exited from the event, be sure to return to your travel thread.
-- 2 hives remaining [due to ooc elements, I have lowered their number]

Yoshi Tech
Fuuton - Dai Kamaitachi (Great Cutting Whirlwind)
Rank: "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Can repel any weapon's projectile attack regardless of dodge stat.
Special: User must give a full swing with a long weapon three feet or larger, or arm.
Drawback: Depending on the user's class level depends on the user's capability of using this technique.
Description: The user is capable of using a fan, or a weapon that is longer then that of three feet to perform, or even their arm. When the performs this technique they quickly attack within a distance of forty meters in cone form. The user then blows a concussive wind that is imbued with Chakra. With this technique the user launches an amount of fifteen large win cutting blades within the length of three feet each in a large like arc. This technique is launched in a confined form and used within short distance of five meters when first learned as a "D" Class character. With every class level the user is higher then that of "D" The distance increases by five meters. As the technique is launched it gives out deep cuts into the opponent. When hit against the ground the force of the blades is capable of picking up the ground, kicking up dirt making vision difficult.
Limit: Must have the Wind Release

[Gohan]

It seemed as though hives were breaking left and right and that there were only two remaining. Yoshi had done exceptionally well with the polearm, somehow using it to empower his own wind jutsu. The other shinobi had been pretty unresponsive, for all Hatsu knew, he had fled the battle altogether!

Okay Hatsu, time to do contribute to the fight here...

The Mizukage would suddenly burst into a six meter tall cloud-like representation of himself before leaping into his own winds and forming a wind blade in place of his right index finger. Running as fast as he could (propelled in part by the rotating winds) Hatsu would rapidly approach the nearest hive and slice it in half with his wind blade before letting the wind carry him towards the next hive.

SPOILER: Click to show

I'm assuming I can use wind blade to create a longsword length blade in place of my finger (longsword length). From what I gather, it's just sharpening the wind form. If not, please let me know and I will change my post.

Limit: Must be a Scirocco.

Ridurre Arma Vento (Slashing Wind Weapon)
Rank: “C”, “C”, “B”
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User forms their arms into slashing weapons.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Cannot form handseals whilst this is active.
Description: The user forms handseals and uses their knowledge of ‘Selective Transformation’ in order to change an arm into a blade made out of wind. The wind is as long as a standard overview longsword, and feels as strong as steel. However, due to the fact that it is made out of wind this sword is extremely light, making it extremely agile. Another advantage is that this sword is effectively the users arm, making disarmament impossible, though removal of the arm still works. When learned the first time the user is able to transform one arm into a blade. When the C-rank is learned again the user is able to form both arms into a blade, whereas the B-ranked version enables the user to form blades the size of a fullblade. This technique ends after three turns, or earlier if the user decides to terminate it prematurely.
Limit: Must be a Scirocco. Must know Selective Transformation.

Recovery as needed but it seemed so difficult to breathe now, at least in those few moments. She took deep breaths, Keeping her scythe at the ready. Her muscles felt weak and her stomach would turn for a moment before righting itself. The Kage boy disappeared and exploded into massive wind bodied creature that stunned for for a moment. "He is special as well..." She whispered, feeling her fingers gripping the handle of her scythe, the want to leap into the very body and thrash her weapon was strong, but her survival instinct was stronger.

When Gohan floated forward she ran in slowly, The winds dying ever so slightly the further away that the boy got. That wasnt acceptable, at this rate she would surely lag behind and the wasps from the next nest would be upon her. Now what she knew somewhere in her heart of hearts, was that Gohan couldnt have made that gust that obliterated the wasps. He would have done it sooner...maybe. Maybe he wanted her dead? Did he know what her plan was and had decided to let nature do its thing?

"Prick." Sh grumbled, remaining about 6 meters behind, ready to shunshin and catch up if need be while she recovered. If Gohan was successful in the destruction of the first hive and was moving, she would adjust her rate and angle of movement.
