She stood there in her home. There had been a lot of memories with this home. Especially after everything she had done. This was her stepping stone and this was her roots. She would never forget this, although she was not one too be sentimental. But she didn't want to forget where she came from.

Taliyah sat there on her knees. Blind. The world around her moved and she could sense it with everything else but sight was not one that she was capable of just yet. Most Kedoin children in the clan didn't actually get their senses till about the age of eight till ten. This was because they weren't strong enough to will their own senses together and try to achieve them. However Taliyah did not have time to sit around and just wait for her senses to come to her. She was eager, and hungry, and with all of her senses in tact other than sight, her goals were literally just around the corner for her to come into fruition.

She sat their on her knees and began to do the work that he blood lineage was meant too do. The focus of her chakra began around her face. The first step as always was too form the right systems and the right parts. One couldn't just simply will their way into it. They had to have an understanding of how the ocular system works and the way that images actually enter our central nervous system. The first step is for Taliyah too make her eye and her retina. She began forming the cells around her face to create eye sockets and hollow cavities to form there. The shaping of her face took some time and concentration which was the biggest issue for Kedoin

The cells began to slowly place themselves around her face and hollowing out the way her eyes were going to make. It was like a craft after all. It took time and effort and detail for it to be made sure that no mistakes were made. Taliyah was a perfectionist after all. The sockets couldn't be too big considering that she wasn't planning to have overly massive eyes and they couldn't be too small that the average size eye ball wouldn't fit. She began to carve them both smoothly and at the same pace, making sure that every inch was identical to the last. Soon she would have caved it out perfectly and the cells around her face began to slow down. Concentration was key and she was in no rush to finish just yet.

Next was the actual growth of the eye. This was the tricky part because of all the nerves and the intricacies of the eye that needed to be perfect. The humanoid body was complex and deserved all the respect. No greater craft can be made than the human. First she began shaping the eyes, particularly the eye balls. The cornea was the first to shape, which was the clear outside part holding everything together. Taliyah could feel it forming from within her and she began to feel the cells moving in her eyes as the cells formed into circles around the sockets of her eyes. She wanted to make sure that they were identical and perfect. Imperfection on her was no tolerated. Soon enough the retinas where solidified and perfect spheres were formed in her eye sockets.

Next came the conjunctiva. The whites of her eyes began to form and were a lot harder and took a lot more attention. This needed to be filled in properly or the whole ocular system would just fall apart. Taliyah also took the time to make sure that the nerves also began to form for her as well. She wasn't fully connecting it to anything just yet but she was making sure that nothing was going to be missing. The cells in her eyes began to clump together and she changed the pigmentation in her eyes just a slight bit so that they were able to fade to an off white just slowly. She wanted to look as normal as possible and that wasn't going to help if she had mismatched eye colors. Surely enough the cells in her eyes would begin to turn that shade of white that she needed and she would be on her way.

She wanted to get her iris done before taking a break because she felt like she could push just a bit longer. Forming cells around was exhaustive work and she didn't want to be left behind by having the need to not have it. Plus she already knew that her eye colour would be her favorite part of her eyes She had dreamed of what that color would be in her head, although in her defense it would only be described to her as best as she could. The old ones had ways to put images in your head but she knew the color. She could feel the color. She began to change the pigments in her eyes to darker shade, blackening her iris to have a cold dark color. Not pitch black but a little bit lighter than that. She wanted to make sure that her eyes still seemed welcoming even though there was nothing but cold interior behind it.

The finals steps were approaching her and she could not wait to see the fruition of what she had worked on. The last part of the bit was the eye wall. This would give slight protection to the eyes, although still remaining to be one of the most sensitive and vulnerable parts of the body. She began to form the eye walls around the eye, hardening the cells just a little bit more than usual and before. She obviously didn't want too make it too hard since it was suppose to be very liquid and moist which would entail having very dry eyes all the time which would simply just be irritating. Once having the eye walls set up and everything put together she can move onto the most important phase. The connections and wiring to her brain.

She began to grow the nervous system from the previous nerves she had made earlier. Simply elongating it slowly so that she would be able to connect it to her brain. This would also prove to be tricky considering that she didn't want to connect it to the wrong parts of brain which would change the function of her eyes completely. The chords moved through her skull and found its way up to her brain where she had to pause for a second to think about where to put it it. It was a little ironic considering that she was using her brain to connect her brain altogether but it wouldn't be too long. She slipped the nerve ending together and began to meld them together and she could feel her brain reacting to it. She was very aware of her body and very aware of what was going on. Her brain began to feel out the new system that had just joined her.

Then she began to form eye lids and immediately her excitement could not be contained. Soon she would be able to see. Once the layer of skin had been made she took a deep breath. She let a bit of electrcity to generate within the nervous system and have it all get ready for her at the same time. She could feel her nerves connecting and working for the first time. They were weak and not used to it yet, thats why she took it very slowly. Even the pitch blackness of her eye lids were too much for her eyes at the moment. Se didn't want anything more than to just rip her eyes open but she took it slowly, not wanting to damage her eyes before she even had the chance to use them. She began to lift her eye lids slowly, allowing a bit of light in bit by bit. Slowly but surely she was there and when she felt comfortable enough she pushed herself, not being able to hold in her excitement anymore and she opened her eyes and for the first time she could see the world as it was.

A knock on the door had disrupted Taliyah's train of thought. She got up out of her spot and walked over to the door to find two Ame police officers waiting for her. They weren't ninja per say but they were there to keep the peace for the civilians. Taliyah smiled and put on her face. "Why hello there officer. What can I help you with today?" The officer didn't seem fazed by her flirtatiousness and spoke. "We are here to investigate the death of Hashira Yamanaka. Can we come in?"

Body Of lies
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Lie detecting skills and abilities do not work well on the user.
Special: ---
Drawback: Complex movements and techniques, usually of the "A-ranked" and "S-ranked" nature will break the concentration needed for this technique. Movement enhancement techniques (IE: Chakra gates) will cause this technique to end.
Description: This technique is often used to control the body in such a manner, as to deceive others attempting to peer into the body or read some kind of bodily function from the user for the purposes of lie detecting. If the heart rate, temperature, smooth muscle movement and breathing are being read to detect lying, the user can fool on lookers by maintaining consistencies within these automatic body functions. Rather than sweating, breathing heavily or having your heart race, the user can maintain a normal base line within all body functions, which fools on lookers. Control over these autonomic functions can be overridden by the user's cellular control nature. With this, the user may appear as if they are telling the truth, with no inclination of lying. If die rolls are used, the opponent automatically lose 50% on all die rolls. If a ranking system is used, then the user is considered a user one rank above their opponents. Animals are affected by this technique in the same manner. It takes 1 post to alter and maintain consistent body functions.
Limit: Kedōin Blood Line.

"I hope this is enough. I haven't gotten the chance to get my things together just yet" Taliyah said as she poured tea into a cup the two officers over the dining room table. They both nodded in gratitude as they took a sip of the cup. "Thank you" the one officer said. "We just had a few questions for you. When was the last time you saw him?" Quickly, flashbacks of Taliyah coming in that night and gagging and hanging Hashira came to her mind. The old man was weak and didn't put up a struggle that she couldn't handle. She began to control her breathing and her heart rate. Taking full awareness of her body she began to speak. Although they weren't ninja they were trained to spot a fake and this was not going to be the moment where they realize that she is a liar.

"Oh my. Well it would have been right after I left the night for my graduation party. I went out to go have a couple drinks and I cam home drunk. I don't actually even remember where I went that night. All I remember is going to bed and waking up there" She said as concerned and traumatized as she could. She controlled her heart rate so that it would spike just a little bit. She needed to sound at least a little bit concerned and being completely stone cold would not be helping her case. In this scenario she was a victim. The man that had helped raised her and took her in was dead. It just so happens that she was the one that killed him but no one really needed to know that.

"Did he show any signs of being suicidal?" Taliyah pretend to think, feeling as if she was flustered and confused. In reality, the old man wanted the complete opposite. He wanted to live more. He wanted to explore, and be out and take on the world. He was only seventy five but he felt like he was brand new. "Well he was a lot more depressed than usual. He felt cooped up in this house. He used to talk about his old ninja days" Taliyah lied through her teeth, causing small sparks in her heart rate. "But nothing about killing himself... no" She began to control her tear ducts to well up just the slightest bit. This would push it over the edge just a little.

The officers eyed Taliyah for a while after she spoke. They were trying to get a read on her but she knew it wasn't working. They had no solid evidence and they couldn't get a read on her which was the worse part of them and they know it. "How have you been since his death? I know he raised you. It must be hard." The officer who had been quiet the entire time spoke up this time, almost as if he was daring her to mess up. He went for the emotional card. It was very close however. Taliyah brought back the urge to smile. She knew what they were doing and what they were trying to accomplish but she wasn't about to let them get away with it. She was better than them, smarter than them and they weren't going to be the reason that her journey ended here. No fway.

"I've managed but it's been hard being in the house. That's why I've been out so much. Everything reminds me of him so I try not to think about it too much" Although it was a half life it was harder than just straight up lying. It was hard to amintain the balance of her body while trying to keep a straight face. The added elemnt of the partial truth made it very uneasy for her and she didn't expect the difficulty. This prompted a sudden increase in her heart rate and her breathing which she tried to control as fast as possible but sadly it was too late. Her sudden change and the shift of her eyes was noticed by the second officer and promted him to begin speaking to the first one. Damn Taliyah thought to herself. But she tried to maintain her composure. The battle was not lost just yet.

"We would like to bring you down to the station to talk... if that's okay?" The officer asked which Taliyah nodded and agreed to. If she didn't come witht hem then it would just prove to be suspicious. She kept her heartbeat steady and her breathing normal. She didn't want to show them that she had a reason to panic even though this slowly became an unideal situation for her. She stood up and walked with them men out, one of them standing behind her still analyzing her body movements and how she acted. She tried to regulate her body and make sure that nothing was out of the ordinary. The important part of people who were telling the truth is that there would be no reason for them to get scared because they had nothing to hide. Taliyah needed to convince them of this or this would be all for nothing.

Once they arrived at the station the officers wasted no time. They brought Taliyah to a room where she was sat and waited for the officers to come get her. The thing about pretending to be someone is that it never stops. Unless you had arrived in your safe place and knew that no one was watching then you always had to assume that someone was watching. It was the life she chose and it was the life she lived so she had no choice. She kept her cool even under the lights and even though she was by herself. She knew that they were watching her beyond the wall of the room and she didn't want too seem too particular about it either. She couldn't let them know that she knew of their watching. Not too long after, the two officers and an older man came into the room with a machine.

They began hooking Taliyah up to the machine and she already knew what it was. It was lie detector. It was a way for her too really test her limits. Once she was hooked up they didn't waste time. "Did you kill Hashira Yamanaka.?" Asked the older gentlemen. Yes Taliyah thought to herself but her mouth spoke right after. "What how could you ask me such a thing?" She allowed her heart rate to go up just a bit because that was the right thing to do. Anyone would have a raised hear rate after hearing such a thing. "Please answer the question yes or no only. And calm down first". She didn't waste any time either and she controlled her emotions just a little but kept elated. "No". I would have never hurt the man who raised me"

The charts began to react however it was nothing that wasn't normal considered that she wasn't exactly calm. They began to ask her more questions but she wasn't going to break. She was smarter than them. She kept her body modified and regulated but it took concentration. The machine was her enemy and it was just as cold as her. It wasnt figurative and had doubts. It was pure scientific fact and that would only prove to be detrimental for her. After 3 grueling hours of questions the officers knew that they had nothing. The older gentleman and tje first officer left leaving her with the second officer that seemed to not fall for it at all. He got up and left but before he did he turned around to look at her and said "You have them fooled and you have them convinced But not me. I will catch you" And he left.

Returning home from what was a pointless distraction and a waste of her time. Taliyah settled down and began to meditate on what happened. It was close and she definitely needed more time to figure out and make sure nothing bad would happen to her. The last thing she indefinitely needed was for the village to come reigning down upon her. She needed to take the necessary pre-cautions next time. A disguise maybe. She remembered an old technique her people use to do and began to try to emulate the sequence. To her understanding, her people were able to change their appearance, starting off with the skin and working it's way down. It was all just about concentration and making sure that she was in control of her body.

First she would start with something easy. Changing the pigmentation of her skin was roughly decent and would take little to no concentration whatsoever. Taliyah closed her eyes and began focusing on her body and making sure her body would react accordingly to what she needed. First she would try to change her skin to ad arker color. The skin cells in her body began to obey her command and surely she became darker and darker. She wanted to see how far she could push it so she tried to get her skin to the point where it was the density of a shadow. Once that was accomplished she moved onto something different and began changing her skin color to something lighter. She began to get paler and paler and soon her skin looked like the snow of Yuki no Kuni.

The she decided to have a little more fun with it and began doing different things like changing the pigmentation to unusual colors. Her skin began to feel like a hue change machine as her skin began to fade and blend from a pale white to a bright red and then into a darker red. Her cells began to change and absorb colors in different ways as well. She began to think of the color purple and and blue. Her skin would slowly fade into each one of those and soon she had passed through the entire rainbow. Then began the unusual testing. She tried to see if she could split her skin into two different colors. First she would run it as her top half being red and her bottom half being blue. Quickly her cells began to match and change and she began practicing with different color combinations.

Next she would see if she could create excess skin. This was essential because she would be able to essentially just change her entire appearance with this. The amoutnof skin that she had would change her age indefinitely. First she would try to do it with her face. She began to will her skin around her cheekbones and her eyes to extend just a little bit more where she would droop and sag to make her seem a lot older than she really was. It was a quite strange feeling having your skin change and add on. She could feel her skin moving and extending as her skin cells just grew more and more to the point where it almost became excessive and it appeared as though her skin was melting off her face. Although she didn't think it was believable it was a good attempt to see how far her abilities ran.

The next thing she would try would the complete opposite of the spectrum. She began to tighten up the skin around her face area and try to get it as skin tight as possible. The process was a lot slower but that was also due tot he fact that there was a lot going on at the molecular level. her skin cells first decreased and were re absorbed by her body and the normal amount that she had began tightening around her face. It almost began to seem as though she was having her face pulled back for all the masses to see and ridicule her. Once again she pushed it to the extreme to see where her limits stood. It was important to her to know how far she could push herself so that she would be able to operate somewhere in the middle.

Finally she decided to reciprocate it through out the rest of her body. First she decided that she was going to cause her body skin to sag more. Places like her stomach and her thighs became heavier and her breasts began to also sag more. She could see her body shift and change and soon it would make her look like she was a seventy year old woman. The next thing she would do wass to retract all the skin that she now producing. Once again the process to retract was a lot slower and a lot more steady but she easily had no problem with it. Soon she looked like a made up plastic doll that was put on display and her skin was absolutely fake and tightened to the point where she couldn't move.

Finally the last test was to see if she could produce markings and what not on her body. This would come in handy if she was too fake an injury or imitate someone with a recognizable scar or anything of the sort. Fist she would work on body scars. She decided to generate on in the middle of her chest that looked as though she had a gash open on her body. She began to imagine what that would look like and her body began to respond immediately. It started to grow and turn itself so that it would mold intot he scar. The tissue began to separate and do it's ow thing and soon enough she had recieve what look like her taking a sword swung at her chest. It was an open wound that was just missing piles and piles of blood on it.

Next she would try to emulate tattoos. First she would see if the one she had on her chest was move able and began to have it disappear and re appear on her body. Once that was done she began to attempt to create a bunch of tattoos across her body. Words and print began appearing. Skulls on her chest and on her face and arms. She began to grow full sleeves on both of her arms with drawing of anything from a rose to a skill and crossbones and even the symbol of Ame. She certainly felt very comfortable in practicing the skill. This would help her in very many scenarios indeed.

False intentions
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Reading the alignment or nature or the user is harder.
Special: ---
Drawback: Same drawbacks as "Body Of lies". Only hides outward presentation. Literally mind reading, or physical contact that produces the same end results as mind reading cannot be deceived.
Description: The deceptive qualities of the Kedōin are so powerful, it even influences how the mind and body functions in terms of outward emotional presentation. Common reflexive manners, the physical appearance of emotions (such as fist clenching in anger, or relaxed shoulders in elation), and even how the neurons fire during certain emotional states can be overridden by the user's cellular manipulation abilities. "Micro expression", the involuntary facial expression shown on the face of humans according to emotions experienced can even be controlled by a conscious Kedōin, which are often the expressions pick up by animals. Animals and users with the abilities to read these emotional states will view the user as the way the Kedōin desire. For example, a evil killing intent and anger can be hidden behind a smile, which can normally be sensed by animals. The user's alignment is hidden as well, matching the current presentation they desire. When a murderous Kedōin is trying to portray a chivalrous hero, it is very difficult to tell the user is putting on an act. It takes 1 post to alter and maintain consistent body functions.

After their training, Taliyah decided that it would probably be in her best interest to continue on with her training. She kept remembering the officer who had vowed to get her and make sure that he exposed her as a fake and a fraud. He was somehow not convinced by her which was outstanding considering that she never gave an excuse as to why they wouldn't trust her. She had been the same person and been the same persona, but for some reason the officer could smell the intent behind her actions, or at least caught a very small glimpse of it. This would not be okay for Taliyah, as she wanted to make sure her facade was true and fool proof. She began to work on it just a bit more.

She sat in front of a mirror and looked at herself some more. It wasn't entirely a "I'm vain" moment but it was so that she can analyze her body structure and her positioning when she tells lies. She knew she had tendencies to scowl with her eyes or lock her jaws which wasn't the best intentions for her. She needed to remain completely still and completely at ease as to show no signs of malice or evil intent in her eyes. As she stared at herself she noticed that those intentions were a lot more prevalent than she thought. As she was talking she would notice her eyes squinting and turning a darker shade and she could see her jaw locking in a menacing manner.

This would not do. She began to try to relax her face and take a deep breath and start over. She began to control her body and concentrate on it just a bit more so that she could stay hidden and discreet out of all things. She needed to keep in mind of her body at all times and do everything that she could to make sure that she wouldn't be found out. Without talking she seemed to have been able to keep all of her tendencies in check and aligned which was a good thing considering that she wasn't doing a very good job before hand. She began to talk again and without fail her body began to to do all of the things she didn't want it to do. This suddenly became the hardest task for her to date.

It would seem as though hiding her malicious nature was a lot harder than she expected and this was apparent to her how they one officer seemed to not believe her at the time. It was difficult to believe someone and think that they were vulnerable and weak when their face looked and seemed as though they had just killed someone. She began to get very frustrated with herself as this was the first time that something liket his had happened to her. She usually was able to pick up the techniques of her people a lot faster than this and she was able to do it at the very first try but for some reason this one technique was just giving her so much more difficulty than it really had too.

She began to concentrate just a little bit more. Her frustration was key because although it made it harder, she became more accountable to everything. She decided that it would probably be best to start off with something smaller, like smiling through her frustration and having it look genuine. Taliyah absolutely hated the fact the she needed to do this and have herself indulge in the act of needing to make sure that had to start on an "easier path" but she needed it. She began to regulate her body once more, her heartbeat going down adn even her hormones and stress levels began to regulate themselves instinctively. She could still feel the frustration boiling inside her but her body wasn't reciprocating.

Then she looked in the mirror one more time and began to change her body functions. Without talking she began to smile at the mirror and analyze herself. The smile was a little genuine but still had a wickedness and genuineness to it. She began morphing it jsut slightly, changing the way her eyes met the gaze and changed how the tips of her mouth curled. Soon it turned into a warmer more gentle smile. Then she began to change her body positioning and how her body was laid out before the mirror. Her shoulders became less tense and soon she was looking like a genuinely nice person. Taliyah was still frustrated however due to the fact that this was taking too much concentration for her to accomplish.

This became the final test for her as she stood in front of the mirror. She honestly didn't want this to be a thing but this was a necessary evil for her. She began to talk in front of the mirror. AS she talked and her mind raced with making sure she was sounding cohesive, she also multi tasked and cohesively maintained her body structure and her composure. It was hard and sometimes she felt like she was losing track of what she was actually saying which was one hundred percent okay due to the fact that it added to persona of being flustered and almost air head as one could describe it. As she talked she made sure that any intent in her face was completely masked.

She continued to make a speech and began to think of different things at the same time. This gave it a bit more of an element to it and became just a tad bit harder. She talked about being innocent and vulnerable while at the same time she was thinking for the night that she murdered her orphan father in cold blood. She remembered how she didn't even hesitate in killing him whatsoever and don't even regret it. As she looked into the mirror she realized that nothing had changed one bit.

The new kage

T

he village was in turmoil, the leadership had either turned against them or vanished. The whole situation gave him a headache, but as it was crucial he maintained his calm he just rubbed his forehead a little before he put on his ANBU bear mask. The time had come to rise a new shinobi to be the beacon of hope, but he only felt pity for the chosen. As he reached the front door to the genins house he stepped in under the protection of the roof and brushed the excess water off his crimson rain ANBU robe. His arms were hidden within his bear claw gauntlets and his tail was wrapped around his body. The young man sighed as he raised his right hand towards the door. "Time to ruin a kids hope for a happy future" he thought as the fist knocked against the door.

[Deleted]

A knock on the door? Taliyah was confused. It was unlikely the officers would come back a second time in the same day. What could they possibly have found out. Taliyah rose from the mirror that she was sitting infront of and decided to move towards the door cautiously. She began to regulate her body and she began to keep her body calm. As she turned the door opened and she looked out of it she saw that there was someone there and it wasn't an officer.

There was no mistaking that this person was a Jonin. Their presence alone was outstanding and empowering. Taliyah wasn't sure if it was a man or a woman but the unusual color of their skin was intriguing to Taliyah. She wondered what possibly caused this scenario. "Hello! I wasn't expecting any company today. Can I help you with something?

[~Emi~]

Leaving in a flash

T

he individual in front of him looked as inexperienced as he expected, but the spirit spark was still in the eyes. He smiled behind the mask, maybe the information had been promising after all. But there were not that much time to do any deeper check, so his overall estimation had to do.

Taliyah Rose of the hidden village of Amegakure, during the past couple of years we have investigated you and some of your fellow classmates. The purpose of that investigation has to gather out the most prominent member for future leadership. Today I have to ask you for a hard request, to accept and lead the village from now on.

He then went silent for a short second, just to see the young shinobis reaction before he continued.

Your training will hereby start with one of the harder parts of the coming role, to be diplomatic with other leaders.

Emi then reached out towards the lady with his left hand.

If you feel that you can accept this and are ready for a difficult meeting, take my hand.

The hand that was aimed towards the genin was intimidating as it absorbed the shadows around it and had sharp claws, but as the palm was up it was safe to grab. If the new kage were to grab the hand, their surrounding area immediately changed from the house to the swamp of the ame no kuni. There were a few trees nearby and the gate to the village could be seen far away in the distance. They had arrived at the outskirts of the surveillance gear he had put up.
