Where theres smoke...

As Axel walked along the path in the middle of a field he felt slightly more irritable compared to normal, there was no way he was suffering from withdrawals was he? He didn't even have lungs or a blood system to get addicted to nicotine. It was probably some sort of quirk in his thinking that just made him feel calmer. With a silent shrug he would continue on the path looking for anywhere he could buy a pack of cigs.

[Enter]

The boat abandoned, Justice "Just" A. Scrubb staggered into the Land of Fang. He had on his usual attire of a button down shirt with crumpled collars and a bunny mascot apron on top and below, a pair of long, baggy pants and bulky sneakers. His headband, the only possession marking him as a Waterfall ninja, was stowed away in the deep pocket of his pants. Given the hurried circumstances of his departure, Scrubb had none of his weapons and shinobi equipment on him.

The lanky teen was merely a shell of his formal, happy-go-lucky self. He had obviously been drenched in water from head to toe, his dirty clothes sticking like wet rags on his thin body. His hair was uncombed and wild from the winds of the storm. Most shocking, though, was his blank, sallow face, devoid of the smallest comfort or happiness. His eyes stayed wide open and unfocused. The boy kept muttering to himself at no one in particular, and any who laid eyes upon him would know that this was a mentally unstable individual.

Scrubb had never known sadness all his life, and in his simple mind there was nothing to digest grief. He knew he had no happy life to return to, now that his uncle was gone. The grief turned to madness as the boy stumbled across the field, looking for his uncle, who he believed must surely be alive, and any that the boy might dump the blame for his guilty sins upon. The field was largely bare, and as Scrubb swayed this way and that along the path he saw a red-headed man, about as tall as he was and with an unreadable expression.

The boy peered at the man suspiciously. Though the man's face flickered into his uncle's for a moment, the fiercely colored hair made it obvious he was not the man Scrubb was looking for. Already this man angered him. "MOOOOOOVE," Scrubb bellowed, quite pathetically. If Scrubb was of a clearer mind, he would see that the man was about ten [10] meters away.

As a figure appeared on the path Axel tilted his head a bit but shrugged and moved to one side. Although as he got closer the boy suddenly shouted for him to move, with a confused glance around Axel couldn't tell what the damn kid was talking about. After shaking his head he continued forward and upon reaching him would nudge him a bit to the side to make room on the path.

"Get lost kid."

The man said something to him, and Scrubb from the corner of his eye saw his mouth moving. But words didn't mean anything to him anymore; his head was too loud. Something sank into his side, and something in the boy snapped.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!"

There was little distance between the two, as the man had closed the distance and nudged him lightly. As fast as he could, the boy made the appropriate handseals and brought forth an earthen coffin large enough to comfortably contain the man. Then, angling himself so that the man was in between the boy and the coffin, Scrubb swung his fist at the man's right cheek. He hoped that the force of it would make the man fall to his grave, but even if the hit connected the strength would be far from enough, as the punch wasn't affiliated with any taijutsu technique.

Nothing was in Scrubb's mind except that, for some illogical reason, he wanted to hurt the man as badly as possible. It was rather telling that, of all the techniques he had trained, the earthen coffin was the only one he remembered now.

Technique Used/Attempting

Doton: Tsuchi Reikyuu no Jutsu (Earth Release: Art of the Earthen Coffin)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a box made out of the earth that, with the repetition of the technique, will return to the Earth.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: The box must maintain the proportions of a rectangle of 3x length to 1x width to 1x height. The technique cannot be performed more than once per turn.
Description: A technique that has been used by the members of Iwagakure for a long while before the secrets of the technique spread. The technique is useful for a multitude of different things, from hiding treasure to burying the dead, saving the user the difficulty of having to dig. When the handseals are performed, the earth will rise out of the ground in the shape of a box, with the target location acting as the bottom of the box. This process takes one turn to complete. Then, when whatever the user wishes to secure is within, the user will perform the technique again, and the box will slide back down into the earth, pulling whatever was within the box down with it while leaving the area appearing as if it were completely undisturbed.
Limit: Must have Doton no Jutsu.

Then the punch connected...

Axel's eyes would narrow and without so much as flinching from the punch black wire shoot out from his body piercing through the boy's wrists before tying them and lifting the boy off the ground. With the boy essentially immobilized Axel would raise his arm placing it at the boy's solar plexus before his wire pushed into him searching and moving up under his sternum to find the warm beating heart.

Attempting.

Soshi Settou (Element Sealing) (120)
Rank: "S"
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: User learns how to steal someone's heart and make it their own.
Special: ---
Drawback: User cannot use any other jutsu during this technique. Any shorter and the heart will be damaged and unusable.
Description: Using their tendrils coated in chakra, the user can cut and rip into the opponents chest and cut the arteries. This allows the user to steal the targets heart and make it their own. The user then, takes the heart and protects it with their tendrils as they move it throughout their body and into a set area. The body with this ritual has a set number of spaces for hearts, five. Without this, the user cannot add additional hearts to their body, rendering most jutsu useless.
Limit: Bringer of the Cthulhu


Advanced Tendril Control (60)
Rank: "B"
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user is capable of knowing how to use their tendrils for ranged combat and other things through much practice.
Special: Without this, wire movement more than 3 feet away from the body is impossible.
Drawback: The limit for how far your tendrils can travel is one hundred meters.
Description: The user has learned to control their tendrils for ranged combat and other things such as wrapping them around other objects, constricting opponents, etc. He/she has also learned to use them to grab and choke opponents. Learning this technique allows the user to extend his/her tendrils past three feet away from his/her body.
Limit: Bringer of the Ckathulu

For a moment, some sane part in the boy's mind was surprised that the man had actually allowed the punch to connect, despite looking almost bored. Then the genin was surprised for a second time as his fist hit what felt like . . . metal?

The man's eyes narrowed, and a shiver ran up the boy's spine. Scrubb stood paralyzed with fear as something stabbed his wrists and lifted him off the ground. The boy's eyes merely widened as another thing stabbed his chest and reached for his heart. The pain and the black tendrils were too fast for the boy's mind to even process. His heart pounded rapidly like prey.

[Wolf of the Falls]

"It's nothing personal kid, you just chose the wrong person to play crazy with."

The wolf quietly spoke before his tendrils pushed into his heart working along the pathways until Axel's chakra began to circulate through it. Once it was the tendrils would slice through the vascular system where it was still connected before beginning to pull it out making the entry wound larger. Once the new heart was free the stitches along Axel's arm would come free and open wide to take in the new heart before restitching shut. Once the boy's life was gone Axel sighed and looted his body taking any gear money or... Shit. Axel grumbled as he pulled out a headband form the boy's pocket seeing it was from Waterfall.

"Well, age old rule, if no one saw, it didn't happen." Axel breathed out and once he finished he would wrap the body in wire like a black cocoon and sling it over his shoulder like a traveler's bag before heading towards the water to get rid of it.

Once again, he saw the man's mouth move. The words were lost on dying ears. Scrubb's vision darkened, and the boy breathed his last.

[Skulking Shinzu]

Death approved.
