on the wings of an angel [travel, open]

[Cedany]

Knowing she had a long ways to travel, the brunette packed it pretty light. Over her shoulder she carried a small bag with a couple changes of clothes, all her actual equipment either her butt bag type one except for the two soldier pills within her front right pocket. That small bag was only partially filled as well, merely containing six kunai, twenty-eight exploding tags, four smoke grenades, twenty senbon, two wireless radios, a compass baseplate, and a pair of sniper goggles. For those goggles she had a few lenses as well: zooming vision times five, underwater, night, and antiflash.

When she reached a fork in the road after leaving the village, she pulled out that small compass and went generally opposite of where it pointed north, knowing that the exams were to be held on a tropical island far south of her. Haha Island, was where she wanted to go. The young woman merely wore a thick beige jacket and warm dark grey leggings, having thigh high brown boots and a dark red sweater that reached down to her mid-thigh and covered that butt bag from view- save for the bulge it created, of course.

It only took a couple hours or so before she reached a port town since she remained on the road, having hitched a ride with a traveling caravan at some point to speed things up. There she found a ship that was planning on going down to the Land of Fire, which she figured was good enough. Sure she tried to find one that would take her all the way to her destination, but was unable since none of them really wanted to make such a long trip just for her.

Later that day the ship set sail and she was aboard it, the sturdy vessel meant mostly for cargo. Besides her, there was only two or three other passengers besides the crew itself that manned it. Quite commonly her olive green eyes dropped down to her compass to make sure they were still heading Southeast towards the Land of Fire, not entirely trusting the captain of the ship.

astern Hi no Kuni, this was the birthplace of some of the best tea of the country. It was rumoured that it was the birth place of the best smoked tea in Hi no Kuni. Which is what had drawn the Godaime here. He had come prepared for anything despite his peaceful intentions, carrying 16 kunai, 4 smoke, 14 frag and 4 stun grenades and 20 senbon,of which ten had explosive tags wrapped around them. Then there were his items that were not weapons, 3 blood clot pills, 2 soldier pills, 2 small scrolls, an amazing quality world map, a lensatic compass, 9 zipties, sniper goggles with anti-flash lenses, lie detector lenses, X-ray vision and Conditions Viewing Vision built in, and manacles with impossible locks. All of these were still hidden out of sight, spread out between his cobalt haori and a pouch, a butt bag and a triple scroll size pouch all attached to his sash at his back. The sash itself contained his superior quality battle fan and gasmask with E-type filter. Then there also were his two wireless radios.

It was winter and snow started to blanket the world, thus he had put on his white kosode and hakama with a purple trim to contain as much heat as possible. His headband, attached to a long blue strip of cloth was tied around his forehead, the two long ends of the headband cascading down in his ivory hair. The only thing he had changed about his outfit is that instead of blue shinobi sandals he now wore blue snow boots. Not that he ever walked anywhere. Gosei sat on the back of his huge arachnid, Sir Pounce’a’lot, comfortably reclining as the creature made its way through the forest to a little port town. Passing the time a bit he played with what looked like a cobalt and gold ornate bracelet around his left wrist. Few however knew that inside the bracelet 57 senbon were neatly arranged, ready to be pulled out for battle or acupuncture at any given moment.

The best tea in the Land of Fire was exported because the prize went up exponentially in other countries where the herb was not widely available or only of inferior quality. In such places the superior Hi no Kuni merchants could gain wild profits if they were not outdone by their kin from Cha no kuni. It was this that brought the former Hokage here, to buy some of the best quality tea before it would be shipped out. A quick round of questions near the gates of the town learned the Kazeraikou that he was on the late side, the tea preparation was done and the tea had been moved to warehouses in the harbour to be shipped off. A friendly town watch gave Gosei the address of his brother in law, who had not moved his cargo onto a ship yet. Deciding to test his luck there the Godaime moved to the docks.

A cargo ship was moored here. Gosei was too late however, they had already unloaded the other cargo and were in the process of hauling the new crates on board. Surely he could no longer buy some of that. Not many people had seen an almost ten meters long spider before and thus many heads turned when the creature crawled on the dock. They had to keep working though and thus many just gaped as they moved with a wide arc around the creature. Standing up on the carapace of the arachnid he would look for someone who looked like a manager, someone who could point him to competitors to bother. For the first time Gosei noted that the ship flew the colours of Yuki no kuni. Well, wasn’t that an interesting coincidence?

He looked at the ship’s occupants from his elevated position, nudging Sir Pounce’a’lot with his foot to move alongside the ship over the dock. From the back of his spider and standing Gosei could look over the railing onto the deck. From the ship however they could only see the upper half of his body, floating along the ship. Most occupants were not interesting. Mostly sailors and every so often a person looking for a cheap trip. Then he suddenly nudged the creature below him to stop.

Here on the deck there was a girl. She too was clothed for cold weather, though more so than the Godaime. Typical for those from Yuki no Kuni. As a pretty being she had already caught the Godaime’s eye, for some reason he particularly liked her boots. There was however one thing that set her apart from the other passengers. She had a bulge under her dark red sweater. One where most shinobi carried their butt bag. Placing his left hand on the handle of his battle fan the man would address the girl. ”Hello there, what news is there from the Yukigakure?” He asked. There was no reason to hide it anyway. They had made Gosei their enemy against his will when Ace was the Yukikage and due to Gosei having been Hokage for six years he no longer had the gift of anonymity unless he disguised himself. If she was from the Yukigakure she would probably instantly recognize their number one enemy.

[Cedany]

The brunette was more concerned with her conversation with the captain, paying the man the second half of her fare now that they arrived at their destination. It seemed to be just after she handed over the remaining ryo that a voice caught her attention, mainly because it was mentioning Yukigakure. For a moment, olive green eyes went wide as she froze up, near instantly recognizing the man she had heard so much about back in her homeland. She was sort of glad her village’s headband wide tied around her waist and out of view, but it seemed like he already suspected her allegiance.

“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Cedany lied through her teeth when she snapped out of it, likely obvious thanks to her initial reaction. The genin could feel her heart pounding away in her chest as well, yet she still tried to at the very least appear calm. Of course she’d love to take down one of her village’s greatest enemies, but not when she was alone- not when she was in this foreign land. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some business to attend to,” she insisted as she walked over to the temporary drawbridge leading down to the dock, feeling a sense of dread swelling within her when she got a good look at the thing that the white haired man rode. She wasn’t particularly scared of spiders, but this could definitely be an exception.

Soon as she got off the boat she’s start walking in the direction opposite of Gosei, wanting to put as much distance between them as possible. Despite her back being to him she didn’t worry, a fine mist surrounding her at a ten meter radius. Within that mist she'd be able to sense his movements and she was concentration more on him than anything else within that ten meter radius. Only if he let her get that far away would she look back in worry, to make sure he wasn’t going to pull anything.

is voice clearly startled the woman. She froze in place, giving the Godaime time to activate all of his sensor senses. Immediately this revealed the specific chakra signature of the woman and that she was of B-class. That and she was lying. Gosei nudged the creature under him again with his foot, prompting the animal to start chewing. ”I am sorry to have bothered you then.” Gosei replied with a smile, feigning disinterest until she started to move, watching how she walked to the gangway. When the girl stood on the gangway, he would poke his animal companion again.

She was a mere eleven meters away from him at this point, just outside shunshin distance. The spider would rear, spitting out a four meters wide web, with the centre aimed at the girl. She could go left or right to dodge, either onto the docks or back onto the ship, if she was fast enough to see the attack coming from the man she was trying to ignore. Or she could jump into the water, that would complicate things. ”I just wonder why you are lying. I would like to talk about that with you.” It was an extremely sticky web, if it caught her she would find herself entangled, pinned to the gangway by the sticky blanket. The more she would move, the worse her situation would become.

Sir Pounce’a’lot:

Name: Web spit
Rank: C
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The spider shoots out a sticky web to capture opponents.
Special: ---
Drawback: takes 3 seconds to prepare
Description: The user quickly molds a bit of spider silk in his mouth, making it extra sticky. Then they spit it out. The sticky web captures whatever it comes in contact with. It is a tad stronger than ninja wire and can only be cut by a C-ranked or higher force. The web burns easily and water can remove the stickiness. The web can be shot in such a way that it can be suspended between several objects. Size of the net and the range of the technique depend on the size of the spider:

Medium, Range: Three meters. Diameter: One meter.
Large, Range: Six meters. Diameter: Two meters.
Huge, Range: Twelve meters. Diameter: Four meters.
Gargantuan, Range: Twenty four meters. Diameter: Eight meters.
Colossal, Range: Fifty meters. Diameter: Sixteen meters.

[Cedany]

Again olive eyes went wide when the woman had looked back after looking back when she passed her ten meter detection radius, but this time she didn’t allow herself to freeze in place. Soon as she spotted the web being expelled towards her, she immediately ran to the side of the dock and jumped onto the water. The kunoichi thought fast and strung together four quick seals during her decent, so when she hit the water’s surface she’d be able to skate and travel twice as fast as she usually would be able to. The water frosted up beneath her feet where she stood, but didn’t solidify into useable ice.

“I haven’t anything to say to you, just let me pass through,” she yelled back as she moved forwards so he’d be within her ten meter detection radius again, keeping herself about half way between the boat she had departed and the dock, about three meters on her left and right with Gosei in front of her now. As she spoke her hands were already moving in a flurry of twelve more seals, which would form about one hundred needles of ice floating half a meter above her head. Another four hundred she created behind her opponents, hanging just a meter behind their backs. It was her hope that they wouldn’t notice them nor wonder what her technique was doing- the one hundred around her a mere distraction.

Cedany wouldn’t even wait for an answer, the woman thrusting all five hundred needles towards the man without warning as soon as they formed. The one hundred from above her weren't aimed precisely, just going for body shots split between Gosei and his pet. The ones from behind, however, were much more carefully controlled. About fifty aimed to make a pincushion of the back of the man's head, a hundred on between his upper chest to nick the heart and lungs, and the remaining three hundred fifty split roughly even into groups of about forty to tear into the juncture between the spider's body and legs.

Q

uickly and deftly the girl dodged by jumping down towards the icy waters, forming a set of handseals. She was not very fast in comparison to the Kazeraikou. He was at least twice as fast, both in seals and in actual speed. Probably stronger too. As was his creature. Raising his left front paw and aiming at the girl as she was bringing her hands together to form a second set of seals Sir Pounce’a’lot would prepare to strike as Gosei jumped down onto the water. The arachnid flexed his muscles and thirty hairs, as long and hard as senbon shot out of his paw towards the girl, embedding themselves everywhere in the front of her body. The spread at this distance of ten meters was large enough to still hit the girl even if she was to jump left or right as the needles spread all the way between the dock and the boat, hopefully interrupting her string of handseals.

The Kazeraikou was unaware of the girls detection system. Not that he needed to. She would be surprised anyway as he moved in near instantaneous speed as soon as his feet touched the water. The synchronization was perfect, in the blink of an eye, directly after the urticating hairs had passed the girl Gosei would appear at her right side, within an arm’s length distance, just outside the field of view of her eyes. His index fingers on both left and right hand primed to strike. The strikes would come at exactly the same moment.

The first would be aimed at a specific point on her right shoulder with Gosei’s left hand. If successful this strike alone would cause great pain and drain a great deal of energy away from the girl, making help feel weak and helpless and probably making the finishing those handseals impossible for the youth. At the same time he would attempt to strike with his right hand, aiming at a specific point on her lower right arm. This one would directly make handseals impossible if it hit by paralyzing the entire right arm. Together however the cumulative effect would be even worse. So much energy would be drained from the girl, making the fight effectively over. She would no longer be able to make any movements, form any seals or do practically anything, basically because so much energy had been taken from her. In addition, every strike would hinder the flow of chakra, making it more and more difficult to perform jutsu.

Yi Zhi Jingang Fa (Diamond Finger) [20]
Rank: "C"
Skill: Supplementary / TaiJutsu
Effect: The method of "Diamond Finger" is a hard exercise that strengthens the external components. It belongs to the hard force of Yang. When the exercise attains its aim, it is possible to knock a hole in the chest with a finger and injure the internal organs. When mastering this exercise, one should train daily along a wall, or a tree trunk. Other objects may be used as well.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: It is necessary to strike with the forefinger at a wall or other objects, starting with a slight blow and increase the force gradually. Do not interrupt and do not stop training. It is the first stage on the path of mastership. The skin tears off as the muscles and sinews swell and hurt. It is however necessary to continue training for a long time without any hesitation and doubts. The soft skin becomes hard. After dedication of learning and training the finger will become like a tree trunk. If one strikes at some object with their finger a visible finger print is left on it. A blow at a wood can make it hollow from within as a blow along stone can break it. A blow along human contact may inflict a serious wound. Train this exercise diligently and concentrate the efforts only on one matter as the skill will become perfect. One must train within both fingers to make them both perfect.
Limit: Must learn from a master of Dian Xue Shu.

A strike here will hinder the progress of Gu Qi, in which is made from food and liquids. Apart from the immediate effect of the extreme pain in the whole chest area, the long term effect will be that the Gu Qi will not be produced and although an opponent who was struck may be taking in food, the Qi from the food given is going nowhere and so the health as well as one's lifestyle will slowly diminish.

Sir Pounce’a’lot:

Name: Spider hair spray
Rank: C
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The spider shoots urticating hairs as a projectile
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: By utilizing the muscles directly under the exoskeleton the spider makes urticating hairs shoot out like senbon. When they hit they immediately embed themselves in the skin. They have miniscule hooks on the outside of these hairs that hook into the victim, making just shaking off the hairs impossible, they'll have to be pulled out one by one. As long as they are embedded in the victim they cause rash, irritation and a heavy itch. After being pulled out this effect continues for one turn. The range of this technique is 2.5 times the body length of the spider. The spider shoots the hairs in groups of around thirty hairs and they are shot in a cone pattern, spreading out as they go further away from the spider.

Oh, btw, 48 hour IIC I guess?

[Cedany]

(Yeah sure, we'll just stick with the default 48 IIC)

It was painfully obvious he didn’t plan on listening to her request, the brunette cursing beneath her breath as the spider readied an attack. While she was more worried about the man who had joined her on the water’s surface, it was the pet that got her to act first since it attacked first. She could immediately see and sense the wide trajectory of the needles when they were shot off at her, the only safe place she could think of being down since she couldn’t jump up high enough to get away. The woman dropped down into the near freezing water and couldn’t help but cry out at the sudden shock of cold- the sound likely inaudible thanks to the water.

Despite the pain of the salt water she forced green eyes open, just barely able to make out the general form of the man standing above her. Her seals had been interrupted with the shock of the cold water, instead the woman started a new, much shorter string of seals that was composed of a mere four seals as she created five birds of ice up above that would assault her opponent as a distraction while she swam towards the boat as quickly as she could. She knew she’d have to emerge for air soon, but with him directly above her and not having any way to move about in the water quickly, she hadn’t a whole lot of options.

hen he arrived at the envisioned position the needles had already passed, devoid of their intended target. Some floated about, others were stuck in the docks or the side of the ship, but none in the intended target. There was no need to search, his sensor sense immediately revealed that the girl was below him. She had barely sunk down into the water so the easiest thing to do would be to just grab her as she was still just below the surface.

He could not clearly see underwater because her sinking had disturbed the surface. There were however two things he could identify that stood out. One was her hazel hair that would fan out around her head, the other was her right arm. Crouching low he would poke his left hand blow the water surface, twisting his hand around her hair and taking a strong grip over a large part of it. Sending chakra to this hand he would form a bolt of lightning in his hand, which would immediately dissipate crackling to her head since a part of her body was already there where the bolt would form. This was meant to temporarily incapacitate the woman and not to actually inflict permanent harm.

Simultaneously his other hand would grasp around her right arm, yanking it up to prevent the woman from forming more handseals. Just like on her hair he would attempt to hold her with his iron grasp. Taking a hold of her on her upper arm, where her arm movement was relatively limited in comparison to the lower end of the arm. Also, there was another reason why he went for this spot. As his thumb, index and middle finger would hold her upper arm in an almost inescapable grip his thumb would find a very specific spot, pressing down on that point, causing great pain throughout the woman’s body. The added nervous shock would further confuse the woman and hopefully break her resistance. It was already bad once struck once, holding it continuously like this would most certainly instantly end the fight.

Stretching his legs he would then try to pull the girl back to the surface.

Again her pained cry was nothing more than bubbles formed and breaking on the water’s surface when her hair was grabbed, instantly breaking her chain of seals and reaching up to untangle his fingers from her scalp. The ninjutsu master struggled as best she could to get away, but soon went completely rigid as that shock tore through her. It was only temporary, but when she regained motor control again she found herself in unbearable pain from the iron grip on her arm. It just got worse and worse as well, the girl gasping for air and coughing from some of the water that had filtered into her lungs as she thrashed and tried to get away from the pain on her arm and scalp.

“St-stop! Please, let me go,” the kunoichi begged as she found that her struggling only made it worse, body trembling from the cold and sheer amount of pain. Quickly her thrashing ceased since it only made the pain worse, and the tears building in her eyes weren’t solely from the salt water that had flooded into the olive orbs. Wildly her heart pounded away in her chest, the brunette unable to even concentrate enough to grab a kunai from her pouch and try stabbing him in their close proximity.

S

he was coughing and gasping for air when he pulled her from the water, understandable since he very roughly had disturbed her. ”That option passed when I met you and you lied.” Gosei noted as he lifted the girl up, keeping his thumb firmly pressing down on the acupuncture point. Clearly the pain sapped her will to resist. Tears flowed from the girls eyes as he let go of her hair and wrapped his arm around her waist, lifting the girl onto the docks.

”Resist all you want. You are not getting away from me. Do you even know who I am?” He spoke as he laid the girl on her stomach on the wooden dock, kneeling with his right knee on her back to prevent her from slithering away. With his now free left hand he would reach into his haori, producing his rigid manacles with a nigh impossible to pick lock. Deftly he would lock one of them around the girls left wrist, pulling her arm to the other side to connect it to the other wrist. Checking both sides of the manacles he would check to see if they were on tight enough to prevent escape. The manacles were rigid, meaning that between the two cuffs there was a strong rigid metal part. This had as an added bonus that it not only made escape more difficult and that he had a handle to hold her, but also that she no longer would be able to bring her fingers together to form handseals. And by pinning them behind her back it would also greatly reduce her ability to fight.

Then there was the issue of her butt bag. Reaching for it he would disconnect the bag from her waist and put it in his own sash. He had no idea what was in there but she could have stored lockpicks or knives there. Once again reaching inside his robe pockets he would pull out a single zip tie, looping it around both her ankles and pulling them close and tight together. Forming handseals with some extra chakra to alert him to any unwarranted fiddling with his seal he would press his finger against the zip tie to lock it with a lock seal and then against the clan ring on his right hand to form a key.

There was a reason Gosei wore a sash instead of a belt and this was one of them in addition to making makeshift bandages. He would rip off a strip from the end and rip that into two parts, still pinning the girl down with his knee. ”Now, if you would be so kind to open your mouth.” He said, pinching her nose shut with his left hand regardless until the young lady would open her mouth. As soon as she did he would shove one part of the silk inside it to stifle her cries and wrap the other part around her head to prevent her from spitting it out. Lifting the girl up onto his shoulder he would start making his way towards his spider. ”I will ask you the important questions at a more convenient location.”

Lock seal placement [10]
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Fuujinjutsu
Effect: The user places the lock seal on something.
Special: “Handseals”
Drawback: N/A
Description: The user forms handseals and then channels his chakra into his finger, on which an image will appear that takes the shape of whatever the user wishes it to be, the image will light up in a color that differs from user to user. Pressing the ring on whatever the user wants to seal will cause the black seal to appear and lock whatever it was placed upon. Immediately after this the users finger will glow again as the same image will appear on their finger, but in mirror image. This will become the key, the user must then press the image against the object which they want to be the key, this object must be something that is easy to carry around. (Easy to carry as in that an average six year old can pick it up and carry it around without too much effort.)The image will appear on the object the user has chosen as a key and this is the only one thing that can be used to open the lock seal the user just placed.
Limit:Must be a Sealist. Must be C-ranked.

Lock seal alert [10]
Rank: D-ranked
Skill: Fuujinjutsu
Effect: The user adds an additional amount of chakra when placing the ‘Lock seal’ which will escape when the seal is opened, removed or destroyed alerting the one who placed the seal.
Special: N/A when forming the first time, “Handseals” when adding after the seal has been placed.
Drawback: N/A
Description: When forming handseals for the ‘Lock seal placement’ technique the user will mold an additional D-rank amount of chakra and apply it to the seal, or if the seal has already been placed user forms handseals and then channels his chakra into the key. The image on the key will light up in a color that differs from user to user. The user presses the key on the Lock seal and adds this additional amount of chakra. When the lock seal is opened, removed or destroyed this chakra will rush out and alert the user that his seal has been opened or destroyed. The user will also get a general idea of in which direction this has happened, though the further away the less accurate this will be, when the user is in a different country he will only get a vague idea if the direction. (North, east, south or west, quite general.)
Limit: Must know ‘Lock seal opening’

[Cedany]

Dread swelled within her chest at his comment, even though she wasn’t entirely convinced that he was telling the truth. Far as she knew, he would have done this no matter what she said. “Kind… Kind of harsh punishment for lying, isn’t it?” She snapped at him through grit teeth as the pain still coursed through her, not planning to be any sort of pleasant since he wasn’t. Still she squirmed a bit even though she wasn’t outright struggling as she was dragged up onto the dock, still shivering uncontrollably as well. She glared weakly at him over his shoulder as she was pinned down on her stomach, unable to muster a whole lot of defiance at this point.

“Gosei,” Cedany practically spat his name like it was a curse, clearly not liking the man from the stories she had heard back in her village. Her resistance was more or less pathetic at this point as she tried to keep her arm away from him and slide out from underneath him, feeling like she was about to black out from the pain. She didn’t even notice how heavily she was panting until he let go of that damn spot on her arm and she found herself unable to slip her hands free from the manacles behind her back. Her struggles picked up more as the pain stopped increasing, but it was far too late and the lingering sensation still kept her out of it for the most part.

Mentally she cursed as her butt bag was removed as well, and despite her best attempts she wasn’t able to kick his hands away as her ankles were ziptied together. She couldn’t see the seal being placed in this position, left unaware of the lock. The genin was completely panicking at this point, feeling like there was nothing she could do at this point. With pleading eyes she looked up at the people around the docks, but the fishermen and tradesmen didn't look like they were about to intervene and risk their own necks as well.

Her attention promptly returned to the silver haired man when he addressed her again, shaking her head and trying to turn away from the fingers on her nose as she kept her teeth grit shut. It was only a few seconds before she had to gasp for air though, instantly regretting it as a balled up strip of silk was shoved into her mouth and then another tied around her to keep it in place. Cedany yelled out protests against the makeshift gag as she was hoisted onto his shoulder and they went towards the huge spider, trying damn hard to roll off his shoulder and away from him- which wasn’t actually that hard now that she felt as if so much had been drained of her.

[Solus]

I

t seemed that this little one was not entirely uninformed. She knew exactly whom he was. As did those around them, making it abundantly clear why they steered clear of what was occurring here. Every step of the way the girl continued to resist defiantly. Quite a willful being, this one would undoubtedly be fun. ”Very good.” He said in response. ”Though from now on you shall call me master.”

On his shoulder she squirmed and squiggled as much as she could producing muffled sounds of protest. ”Sir Pounce’a’lot, two ropes.” Gosei ordered as he approached the arachnid, who immediately started to produce two times four meters of spider silk as Gosei tightened his grip with one arm around the girls ankles and the other around her waist. Taking the spider silk he would mount his creature, trying the girls shoulders with one rope to one end of the carapace and her ankles to the other end, pulling the entire thing tight so she could not try to roll off his transport. ”To Konoha.” he ordered, prompting the animal into motion towards home.

On the way he would have some time to search the helpless woman, fondling every part of her body as he went, occasionally slipping his warm hands under her clothes to search for hidden items. He knew women in this respect, they would put something in a bra, underwear or shoes and think a hidden item to be safe there. Especially wallets for some reason. It was not long until he found a wallet, though it barely held anything. Although the search around her body mainly revealed that she was a pretty thing, the only other items he discovered were two soldier pills. A meager catch in that respect, but then again, the real catch was the woman herself. The most interesting he found however was a headband from the Yukigakure, which had been tied around her waist under her other clothes. Now, he knew one person who would be especially interested in these. Her butt bag was more interesting, containing kunai, exploding tags, grenades, senbon, even more radios, a compass and some very nifty goggles, much like Gosei’s, but with different visions.

Then there was only thing left to do. Forming handseals he would assault the girls senses, taking away all of them if his jutsu was successful. Maybe under normal circumstances the girl would have been able to resist, but maybe he was in luck and she was still too drained to make any effort to resist the Genjutsu. If successful the girl would find herself surrounded by darkness and silence. Absolute nothingness, it would be scarier than it sounded. It would remove the ability from the girl to track in which direction they would be going, as much as it would be a first step on the way to break her mind.

Gosei:

Stealing:

1,700 Ryo

2x soldier pill
location: every region
preparation: ingredient include: ginseng, gariig. first you will need to take the gariig found only in desert regions and ground it up with a mortar and pestle. after it has become fine sand like substance, you will need to set up a bowl where you will then place the ginseng leaf in. after grinding the ginseng up and mixing it with the ground gariig, you will need to make the two into a pill. to do this you just mix the powders in water then let them dry molding it into a ball/pill like shape.
special: can be made by finding things in nature based off of the ingredients rarity, or found within any medical item shop.
description: soldier pills are used to increase stamina as well as chakra, but have the downside of once they wear off (after about 3 days) the user will suffer from severe fatigue and anxiety (probably due to the fact that soldier pills are like supercharged speed). essentially, after taking a soldier pill, whatever chakra/stamina you have remaining is doubled. it does not increase your chakra/stamina past its maximum, and if you take one when you have full endurance it will actually negatively affect you by giving you a mild seizure. for example: you have 40% chakra left, after taking this pill it increases to 80% left.
drawback: the effects of the pill will wear off after the thread it was used in is over, or 3 travel days, at which point you will suffer from anxiety and fatigue. the fatigue will make it so all of your movement abilities are halved and you will not be able to perform any techniques equal to or higher then your class level. the fatigued effect will wear off after 10 ic posts. if you take a pill when you have full chakra/stamina, then you will suffer from a mild seizure because the excessive hormones within your body will cause an odd overload in some of your systems which will cause a type of shockwave to your brain. the seizure will incapacitate you for 5 posts, and you will still suffer the fatigue drawback caused by taking the pill normally.

Sensory Deprivation [10]
Rank: "C"
Skill: GenJutsu

Like hell she’d ever call him master, the woman refusing to even consider the possibility at the moment. She glared up at him because of the mere notion, muttering some insult into the gag as well. Her struggles only got more violent when she heard the command to the spider and realized Gosei was climbing the beast, but in her state there wasn’t a whole lot she could do to escape by this point. Cedany only felt more helpless as her shoulders and ankles were pinned down, especially when she heard their destination. Their villages weren’t exactly on the best of terms.

Visibly she shuddered as his hands roamed over her to search for hidden items, again shouting at him through her gag as she glared daggers up at him. Her face burned red in embarrassment and frustration since there was nothing she could do to stop him, barely even able to squirm thanks to the bindings. Heart pounding away wildly, she let out a relieved sigh when he finally stopped. However she wasn’t able to relax for long, soon on edge again as she found herself blind and deaf to the world. She couldn’t even hear herself yell against the gag anymore, the only comfort she had being that she could still feel what was going on around her- which wasn’t all that comforting since she figured she could probably freeze to death in her drenched clothes in this weather.

Never had the genin encountered genjutsu before, so easily falling prey to this one because she hadn’t any idea that it was even an illusion. Eventually she fell quiet since she couldn’t hear herself, digging her nails into her palms as she clenched her fists just to remind herself that she was still there.
