Eventually, the path led to a smaller village, still encased by trees. It was almost a relief for Karina to see civilization, yet it wasn't the safest place to be. She was hungry and needed a place to relax, and it seemed that the forest didn't really offer those luxuries. When she tried to rest here in the forest, she was ambushed! She didn't expect to be treated like that in a village, but that didn't mean she could let her guard down.

Upon entering the village, Karina kept her head down a bit. There wasn't many people, and it seemed quite peaceful. The sun was slowly dipping below the horizon, giving the sky a red tint to it. Karina was getting tired herself, and now looked for an inn to stay at for the night. At least there she could get some decent sleep, hopefully without being disturbed.

There was a small inn that Karina came across after wandering for a few minutes through the village. When she entered, all she could see was a young boy behind the desk, looking bored. Certainly he wasn't the one to ask if she could get a room? Although, there didn't seem to be anyone else around, so she would just have to talk to him. She stepped up to the desk, glancing at the keys that hung on a rack behind the boy, then she glanced at him.

"Can I stay in a room for the night?"

Karina asked, instantly getting a rude stare from the boy. He yawned, then sat up tall in the chair, crossing his arms. He shook his head a few times, then leaned forward again, crossing his arms immaturely. Karina blinked, not understanding why she couldn't just have a key and quietly go off into a room. Wasn't that what an inn was for?

"Nope! Papa's not here! Now get out!"

The boy shouted, extending an arm and pointing a finger back to the door. Karina glared, not appreciating the boy's outburst of rudeness. Now, if he had said that his father wasn't in, and that she should just wait for him, that would've been fine. She wouldn't tolerate the boy snapping at her and telling her to leave, just when she only asked if she could stay for the night.

Karina huffed, then moved her hands to form the rectangle hand seal. Well, if she could just make the boy get her the keys, then that would make her life easier. She didn't want to resort to violence, and she didn't want to jump over the boy to grab some keys and make it quite obvious she was stealing. No, she would be sly about it and just hope that she could get away with it when his father returned.

She held the hand seal up to the boy, then concentrated on him. A wave of confusion overcame the boy, and a startled expression took over his face. When he seemed disoriented enough, the female began to take control of him by first making him get off of the chair. She thought about making him turn around and grab a set of keys off the rack, and she watched as her thoughts came true; he obediently took some keys, and set them on the desk.

Karina realized she couldn't release the hand seal, but she needed to grab the keys. If she ended the jutsu, the boy would regain his senses and easily be able to take the keys back. So, still keeping the hand seal in tact, Karina bent down until her face was right against the keys. She carefully bit down on the ring that held the key, and gently raised herself so she was standing tall. She grinned, still seeing the boy was under her command.

The female stepped slowly, hoping the keyring wouldn't slide from her mouth and drop on the ground. The hand seal still kept the boy possessed, and quite unaware of what was going on. Before she would flee, Karina made the boy sit back in the chair and shifted him into the same position he was before; arm held out, and a finger pointing at the door.

When she was nearly out of sight, Karina released the hand seal, dashing down the hallway where all the rooms were. She found her room, pulled the keyring from her mouth, then unlocked the door. She entered and closed the door behind her, making sure to lock it. She listened to hear if the boy was storming about outside the room, but she heard nothing. Sighing with relief, Karina walked over to the bed, and laid down on it. Well, that worked out quite nicely. She took off her clothes, grinning the whole time, then got under the blankets of the bed. She closed her eyes, thinking about what she could expect tomorrow when the father that probably owned this place had returned...</sub>

Sunlight penetrated through the inn room that Karina resided in the following day, shining right over her Ryuugan eyes. They slowly flickered open from the brightness, and a yawn escaped from the female's mouth. She felt quite refreshed and relaxed after a proper night's sleep. Although, a new day brought new troubles, and Karina recalled the incident of last night. She was surprised no one tried to break down her door and take her away. She remained cautious though, just in case.

Karina sat up from the bed, stretching her arms and legs. She slipped out of the bed and put her clothes back on. She gathered her belongings, then left the room quietly. She glanced down the hall, only seeing a maid and a customer peering out from his room. The maid looked pretty intimidated, with a worried look on her face and her hand close to her mouth. The man looked furious as he violently pointed at a cup of tea in his hand. Karina wasn't sure what was going on, but it didn't seem good.

"This tea is too cold! I demand you make me more!"

The man shouted at the maid, who apparently brought him the warm liquid. They had room service here too? Karina would've liked a cup of tea this morning, but now seemed to be a bad time to ask. The maid trembled as the male spoke loudly close to her face. Karina didn't appreciate the rudeness, but she couldn't start a fight here. However, Karina still approached the two.

Their eyes turned to Karina when she was close, and both observed the rectangle hand seal she was forming. Karina glanced over at the man, holding the hand seal towards him. Suddenly, he looked confused and lost, forgetting about his argument with the maid.

"I suggest you get out of here so you don't have to deal with him."

Karina advised to the maid, who looked at the missing ninja timidly. She simply nodded, then hurried down the hall and away from the scene. When the maid was no longer in sight, Karina made the man gently place his tea down on the ground outside his room. She forced him to stand up straight, then close the door in front of him. This was more difficult though; his fingers trembled a bit as Karina tried to make them wrap around the door knob. The female had to concentrate a little more to get the task done, but she grinned with satisfaction as the door closed properly, and the man was no longer in sight.

Karina relaxed her hands, then quickly picked up the tea. She took one whiff of it, then sipped at it. Well, to her, it certainly wasn't too cold. Either way, she wouldn't complain; she got free tea. She took another sip as she wandered down the hallway, moving fast in case the man came back to his senses and wanted his 'cold' tea back.</sub>

Karina entered the main reception room, glancing around cautiously. She could see three people huddled around the front desk; the boy from last night, the maid that she just helped, and another man sitting on a chair, with a husky structure. When Karina entered the room, all three pairs of eyes fell upon her. The boy looked angry, the maid looked happy, and the man looked somewhere inbetween those two emotions. He sat up from his chair, then stepped over to the female. She gazed up at him, figuring he was the boy's father; the shapes of their faces looked quite similar.

"I know you stayed a night here without getting paid. However, you did help one of my maid's out of a potentially rough situation. I like that, but how did you do it? What these two have told me so far doesn't make any sense..."

The man questioned, with a hint of curiousity in his mind. Well, if someone was able to possess another person without explanation, then of course it would be perplexing. Karina stared for a moment, then watched as the other two approached her. They probably wanted to know how she could do that too.

"Well, it's no big deal. It's a technique from this clan I'm apart of. It goes like this..."

Karina started, then turned towards the boy. She set her cup of tea down on the floor before proceeding to demonstrate her technique. He stared at her nervously as she moved her hands into the rectangle hand seal, holding it in his direction. An expression of confusion washed over his face, and all of his muscles went stiff. Both the maid and the father stared in amazement as the boy began to dance around uncontrollably, simply because Karina sent her thoughts to make him do that.

"I can possess someone just by doing this. As long as they become disoriented like this, it seems to work."

Karina explained as she watched the boy involuntarily make a fool of himself. The maid looked amused, clasping her hands together and giggling. Even the father chuckled a bit, entertained by Karina's little trick.

The female released the hand seal, and the boy stopped dancing. He glanced at his hands, then watched as Karina grabbed her tea, and finished it off as it was starting to cool down. He now hid behind his father, who patted him gently on his messy and short black hair.

"I see, that's interesting. Now, if you can do a favour for me, then I'll let you get away with staying here for free."

The man spoke, now sounding more serious. Karina gulped at the tone of his voice, hoping she wasn't about to get into some deep trouble. She wasn't using her Yamanaka technique for great evil; she only used it to get past the boy and stop the customer from wailing on the maid.</sub>

"I need you to retrieve some goods for me from someone who lives beyond the forest. They're important and I need them soon. If you do not return with them in three days, I will report you to the authorities for pretty much breaking into my inn."

The man explained, staring straight into Karina's eyes. The female stared back at him, but with a look of fear. She couldn't afford to be taken away by any authorities, as they would most likely kill her. So, this was a task that she couldn't afford to not do, simply for her own safety.

"The man's name is Ren Yamaguchi. He's well known down in those parts, so it'll be easy to find his house if you ask around. Just tell him Kenzo sent you, and he will know what to give you. Now remember, three days..."

The man concluded, then returned to his desk. The maid took the empty tea cup from Karina, then wandered off to continue her duties. The boy stuck his tongue out at the female, then followed behind his father. Karina sighed, glancing at each person as they returned to their daily lives, then quietly exited the inn.

The sun loomed high in the cloudless sky as Karina wandered through the village. It was refreshing, but the pressure of getting the needed goods on time was putting a damper on her mood. Normally on a day like this with nice weather, Karina wouldn't have a care in the world. However, these could be the last few days of her life.

"You're the girl that stole my tea!"

A voice boomed, causing Karina to turn around to the sound of the noise. It appeared to be that customer that was giving the maid some grief, and it seemed as though he was outraged that she took his tea that he probably wasn't going to drink anyways. Karina sighed, wanting to get rid of this pest once and for all. She couldn't kill him though, she would just knock him out and flee.

Karina made the rectangle hand seal as the man charged towards her, holding up a closed fist. Her stared deeply at the man, grinning when his expression of anger turned into disorientation. He slowed down momentarily, but then Karina made him speed up again. It seemed as though he was going to run right into her, but a simple sidestep put her out of that danger. He continued to run at full speed as Karina directed him towards a tree.

There was a loud crash, and the man had collided into the tree. He fell on his back, seemingly unconscious. Karina flinched and released the hand seal after the impact, giggling quietly as she approached the man. She knew that as soon as he felt the pain of hitting that tree, he would be free from her possession, but at least he was knocked out. Karina tapped his chest with her foot to make sure he was out cold, and when she got no response, she turned away and began to follow the path that twisted through the forest.

"Serves him right."</sub>

<sub>{20/70} Previous Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Training

Karina began to wander along the path she had followed before, somewhat recognizing the scenery. All the trees looked that same, but Karina knew to expect a flower shop where the Yamanaka girl taught her that mind technique coming up at one point. She hoped that she wouldn't encounter anybody along the way to slow her down. She didn't want to be engaging in any fights like she did the last time she came through here.

The female paused for a moment, then an idea came into mind. She could create a couple of Kage Bunshin to survey the area before her, and alert her if there were any people in the distance. She grinned and held her two index fingers up so they formed a cross. Two puffs of smoke formed on either side of Karina, and two figures took shape. They were exact copies of her, right down to the paleness of her skin. The female glanced at each of her clones, looking satisfied. This time around, the clones weren't so frail and zombie-like.

"You two, I want you to go ahead and tell me if you see any suspicious looking people ahead. Report back to me if you see any."

Karina explained, and the two clones nodded. Both of them jumped into nearby trees, then leapt forward from tree to tree. Karina watched as they dispersed into the distance, and once they were out of sight, she continued down the path. Could she really trust two clones? They may look like her, but who knows if they would act as reasonably as she usually did...

Meanwhile, the two clones jumped down from the trees when they spotted a person walking towards them. One clone shoved the other clone into a bush, then followed behind her in there. They stared and watched the innocent person travel in silence. One clone looked quite eager to ambush the person those.

"We should kill that woman!"

The clone exclaimed quietly to the other, rubbing her hands together as the person, distinguished as a female, neared the bush. The other clone shook her head, shoving the ambitious copy a bit.

"Are you crazy? She didn't do anything! We should just tell Karina!"

The other clone scowled, knowing that Karina didn't instruct them to kill anyone. The ambitious clone glared at her partner, then shoved her over. That started an argument with the clones, and they emerged from the bushes to start fighting with each other. They swung fists and kicks, right in the open where the passing woman could see. She stared at the two exact copies in disbelief. She shook her head, rubbed her eyes, then quickly moved on; the clones didn't even notice her leave.

It wasn't long before the woman met up with the real Karina, who blinked when she received the confused stare. The woman stepped up to her, once again rubbing her eyes.

"You are a freak! I swear I just saw you fighting with yourself back there, and now I see you standing here!"

She exclaimed, then hurried off, leaving Karina just as confused as she was. The missing ninja pondered for a moment, then sighed. Well, obviously her clones weren't doing their jobs very well. She would have to create more obedient and calm clones next time. Karina picked up her pace, wanting to stop the clones before they got into more trouble.

"Useless!"</sub>

Karina had caught up to the two arguing clones, and stared when she saw them on the ground, having a bit of a cat fight. This was embarrassing; how could she trust two people exactly like her to screw up like this? Well, they definitely didn't seem to be exactly like her, mentally. One clone looked like she was beating the other clone senseless, who looked like she was about to cry. Karina slapped her forehead, then stepped right up to them.

"Look, can't you stop fighting, please?"

Karina asked, and the two stood up to address her. The ambitious clone looked flustered, while the quieter clone rubbed dirt off her face. Karina figured that it would be best to only keep one clone now, so the aggressive clone vanished in a cloud of smoke. The remaining clone stared, then hugged her creator.

"Thanks! She was nuts!"

She cheered, then stepped away from Karina. The two of them wandered side by side down the path, passing the flower shop and the area where Karina defeated the man with her lightning sword. Dusk was approaching when they reached the other village at the end of the path, and the female was growing a bit tired. Having the clone with her seemed to drain her slightly.

"Okay, I want you to ask around and find out where Ren Yamaguchi lives. If you find out, find me."

Karina explained to the clone, then headed off in a different direction. The clone watched her leave, then wandered off in the opposite direction. Karina trusted that the clone could do something as simple as ask people where one person lived; apparently he was even well known in the area.

The clone stopped at the first person she came across; a young man with a small dog. The man looked at her curiously, then smiled. The clone gave a friendly smile back, then proceeded to ask him the question.

"Do you know where a man named Ren Yamaguchi lives?"

The clone inquired, to which the man shook his head. She bowed to the stranger, then darted off without speaking another word. The man shrugged, and continued to wander along, with his dog staying close to his side.

A few minutes later, Karina encountered the same man. She paused before him, smiling a bit. The man looked confused, but he just assumed it was that clone he saw not long ago.

"Do you know where the man Ren Yamaguchi lives?"

She asked him, but got a confused stare in response. She blinked as the man's face changed from soft to angry, then she stepped back. What was this guy's problem? She was only asking him a simple yes or no question...

"Look, I saw you like, two minutes ago. Do you think I would know in that time frame?"

He scowled, then quickly walked away. The dog growled at Karina, then returned to its master. Karina watched him leave, then realized her clone probably asked him already. This wasn't good, she didn't know who the clone was talking to. This was embarrassing, actually. It made her look pretty stupid to be asking the same question twice. She began to run now, searching for her clone.</sub>

The clone had asked a few people about the whereabouts of Ren Yamaguchi lived, but the answers were always negative. It really seemed as though no one knew where he lived. Although, the clone wouldn't give up; she didn't want to disappoint Karina. It wasn't long before Karina caught up with her copy, sneaking up right behind her. The clone gasped at the sudden appearance of her creator, and a brief smile surfaced on her side. Being unsuccessful with Karina's request so far caused the smile to fade though.

"No one knows where he lives."

She informed Karina, and the female nodded. The Kage Bunshin vanished in a cloud of smoke, then Karina surveyed her surroundings. This wasn't turning out so well, and she was wasting precious time. The sun was descending from the sky, signifying one day had almost past. She only had two days before she would be reported to authorities.

Karina weaved through the streets, asking the few people who lingered about outside. She mostly got shrugs or rude answers; with each passing minute, she became more discouraged. However, she couldn't give up now, someone must've known around here. In her haste, she crashed into the back of a young man, falling backwards and landing on her back. The male spun around, alarmed and concerned.

"Are you alright? Wait... Karina!"

The man exclaimed, leaning down and holding out a hand to help the female up. Karina's eyes studied him for a moment, recognizing that it was Daiki, the male she had met on the boat to the Moon Country. She smiled as she grabbed his hand, and he pulled her to her feet. What a relief! It was nice to see someone so kind-hearted again.

"Thank you, Daiki. Sorry I ran into you, I'm trying to find someone by the name of Ren Yamaguchi."

Karina explained as she smoothed out her kimono. When she glanced back at Daiki, he simply chuckled. The female was slightly confused, watching as he placed a hand on her shoulder. This wasn't exactly a laughing manner, she really needed to find him.

"Well, that's my father. Here, I'll take you to my house."

Daiki informed, and Karina looked shocked. This was quite the coincidence! The smile widened as the male started to wander off, and she stayed right by his side. Maybe things would start brightening up for her.

"So, how's your control with lightning coming along?"

The male questioned, with a playful tone. When they first met, Karina shocked with him by accident, due to bad control with a new technique. Karina's cheeks flushed with a bit of red, then she nodded confidently.

"I have! Check this out!"

Karina retaliated, then stopped in her place. Daiki stepped back a bit to give her some space, just in case whatever she was going to do backfired. Karina decided to show him her Zeus' Bolt, and prove to him she had a better grip with her control of lightning.

The female stretched out a hand, having her palm face the sky. Her eyes closed, and she began to concentrate and focus her chakra. She kept her mind clear of the stressful thoughts she had before, not wanting to embarrass herself by forming a wimpy lightning bolt.

Chakra was pushed into her palm, and small sparks began to dance in the centre of it. Daiki watched curiously, seeing electricity bounced off her hand. Well, so far things seemed to be going fine. No damage had been done... yet.

Quickly, the lightning stretched out into a length of three feet, and Karina gripped it tightly. She opened her eyes, seeing the flawless lightning bolt crackle in her hand. She grinned, then held it towards Daiki. The male nodded, pleased with her efforts. Certainly this was more contained than the lightning that shocked him on the boat.

"So, I guess you're right! Sorry I ever doubted you!"

He spoke, laughing a bit. Karina couldn't help but giggle a bit herself, then she focused on the lightning bolt in her hand. Now, what to do with this? It would burn her hand if she held it for too long; she could feel the heat against her hand already. Finally, she tossed it into the air, watching as it crashed into the ground several meters away. It exploded into sparks, dispersing instantly. Daiki clapped, and stepped close to Karina, knowing it was safe now.

"I'm impressed, how did you do that?"

He complimented, wondering how she could tame such a fierce element. He knew there were ninjas out there that went into the Raiton release, but she didn't seem like a ninja. He didn't see she had a headband anywhere on her.

"It takes some chakra control and focus. Once you get used to it, forming little lightning bolts like that's easy!"

Karina explained, feeling proud of herself. It was pretty fascinating to harness electricity. It had proven itself worthy in many situations. Perhaps this Zeus's Bolt would be handy too. It was easy to form, and with a good throw, it could reach a fair distance.</sub>

"Alright, this is my house. You'll find my dad inside, and I'm sure he can give you what you need."

Daiki informed Karina as they reached a small house that was somewhat away from town. He had lead his friend there since she needed some goods from his father. It wasn't a long walk from where they had crossed paths, but Karina was relieved she finally found this place. As the male opened the door, Karina slowly entered, studying the tidy state the room was in.

In the room, several bookshelves leaned against the walls, and family pictures were scattered here and there. Sitting on a comfy couch was a tall man with a well-kept mustache and glasses. He looked like Daiki, if the male was thirty years older than him. The man looked away from his book when the two entered, eying the Ryuugan particularly.

"Ah, welcome back, Daiki. Who did you bring with you?"

He asked a bit suspiciously, inspecting the strange female carefully. Karina gulped, hoping that this man wasn't too intimidating or mean. Well, this must've been Ren then; he looked pretty proper. The female glanced over at Daiki as he put a hand behind her back, and lead her forward.

"Hey dad, this is Karina, that electricity-welding girl I was telling you about. Apparently she needs something from you."

Daiki explained, then the man chuckled. He stood up from the couch, set the book down on the table before him, then approached the two. Well, he appeared to be much more friendly now, as he smiled brilliantly as he came towards them. He stopped before Karina, staring into her Ryuugan eyes.

"What brings you here, young lady? I've got something I want to show you, as I can control lightning and electricity as well."

He asked, with a smile. So, he trained in the Raiton release too? Perhaps he could teach her some stuff, but right now, she preferred to get the goods and get her task done before it was too late.

"I need some goods for Kenzo. Apparently you're the man I'm looking for, because you're Ren, right?"

Karina questioned, sounding a bit nervous. What if she had the wrong person? That would be terribly embarrassing. But, he nodded, then wandered off for a few moments. She sighed with relief, then Ren returned, holding a small box towards her.

"This is what Kenzo will want. Now, would you like to stay the night? It's getting late, and we have a guest room you can stay in."

Ren suggested, hearing rain begin to patter against the house. Karina did want to leave, but she didn't want to be rude either. Besides, she was feeling tired and probably couldn't make it back to the other village. So, she nodded to his offer, giving a thankful smile to him.

"Excellent. Now, perhaps I could show you something that could come in handy with your control of lightning?"

Ren questioned, and Karina nodded once again. With that, he stood back a bit, giving them a fair distance between each other. The room was fairly big, and Karina worried that something would get destroyed while attempting whatever was going to be done. She trusted Ren though, as Daiki gave her a reassuring nod.

"This is called Ridairekuto. When I hit you with this weak bolt of electricity, channel your chakra to absorb the hit, then quickly release it through your hand."

Daiki's father explained, preparing a small charge of electricity in his hand. He released it towards Karina, who braced herself for the impact. When the electricity struck her, the female tried hard to absorb the charge, and with the help of controlling and channeling her chakra, she was able to suppress the impact. However, she didn't release the electricity fast enough, so it ended up sending a few shocks through her.

"Don't forget to release the electricity quickly, otherwise it will shock you..."

Ren sighed, feeling a bit bad as Karina rubbed a hand through her frizzled hair. Daiki rushed up to her make sure she was alright, which she was. So, she couldn't just hold on to the electricity, she needed to get rid of it as fast as she could. Well, if she could master this, then nothing electrical could really affect her, it seemed.</sub>

"I want to try that again. I want to get this right."

Karina told Ren, who looked a little surprised. Well, she had quite the determination, and besides, he hadn't shocked her much. Daiki stepped away from her when she wanted to try again, glad her spirits hadn't been hurt by the unsuccessful attempt. He believed in her, and knew she could get this technique right.

Ren changed a small lightning bolt in his hand, and gripped it tightly. Karina relaxed herself, clearing her mind so that when she was struck, she could focus on releasing it as soon as possible. The man chucked the bolt straight at her, and Karina stared it down as it surged towards her.

When the lightning bolt struck, Karina cringed a bit. However, she channeled her chakra so that she could stand the impact and take control over it. Her chakra was pushed into her left hand, which she held towards Ren. She pushed the electricity forward, and a bolt of lightning shot towards Daiki's father. Surprised, he took the hit, which pushed him back slightly.

"Ahh! That's the way! See, it isn't too bad. Just make sure to focus your chakra quickly and release it before it can shock you."

Ren reinforced as Karina rubbed her hand. The shock still hurt a bit, but she was able to get rid of most of it. She grinned with satisfaction, but then a yawn escaped her mouth. She was tired, and she wanted to rest. The two males seemed to understand, as they dispersed from the room. Daiki showed Karina the guest room where she could stay, which looked quite cozy. There was a small bed, a window, and several pictures on the wall.

Daiki left after the two exchanged a hug, then Karina undressed and crawled into the bed. It felt so relaxing to finally lay down and ease her mind. The stress was put aside, as now she had the goods for Kenzo. Best of all, she met up with Daiki again. As she closed her eyes, she thought about how good things were going. She could rest easy now, which was a relief.</sub>

Karina woke up as soon as the sun pierced through the window, instantly remembering the task that still needed to be completed. She really needed to deliver those goods before it was too late. She quickly put her clothes on, and left the guest room. She saw Daiki and his father at a table in the kitchen, both enjoying some hardy bowls of ramen. Daiki motioned her to take a seat in the empty chair, and share his boat of ramen. She nodded thankfully, then joined the two males.

"I'm coming along with you, Karina. Just in case you encounter some rogues out there."

Daiki spoke, and the female gave him a surprised look. He didn't seem much of a ninja, but perhaps he knew some Taijutsu or something. She wouldn't bother to ask, as he could probably hold his own anyways. She glanced over at his father, who nodded in approval. Well, perhaps having someone accompany her would make this more enjoyable.

After satisfying her hunger, Karina and Daiki prepared to leave. She had the goods in hand as she bowed to Daiki's father in appreciation for this generosity and hospitality. He simply grinned until they left the house to deliver the vital goods. He wasn't concerned about them; they both possessed formidable strength.

The two once again returned to the forest path that connected the two villages together. Daiki explained how his father was a medic, and that the goods that Karina had would be medicine for someone. No wonder this seemed to be urgent; Kenzo's wife's life probably depended on this stuff. She wouldn't be nosy and snoop through the goods.

Abruptly, a group of males leapt down from some trees, eying the two maliciously. Well, that was kind of random? It was as if they were waiting in the trees, just for them to show up. The expressions on their faces though looked unwelcoming and menacing.

"You must be that girl who killed our comrade!"

One of them shouted, cracking his muscles. He must've witnessed the fight she was in earlier on where she she murdered that brute. She didn't know he had a bunch of buddies though, which was unfortunate. Would she have to kill all of them too? Daiki looked surprised at Karina, not knowing that she killed a man before.

"Let's get that guy first though! He looks weak!"

Another voice sneered, then a couple of men leapt towards Daiki. He shifted into an offensive pose, but their sheer bulk overpowered him right away, and one of them had him in a headlock. The other pulled out a sword, laughing darkly. Karina's eyes began to change colour, going from a soft brown to an emerald green. Rage swarmed in her, which was unusual for the white-haired female. She could normally keep her cool, but not when these brutes put her friend in a threatening position.

A lightning sword wouldn't be enough against what seemed to be four of these men. She needed something more brutal, something to get the job done quick. She knew very few killer techniques, but now was a good time to try out a new one. With her Ryuugan eyes activated, a sense of greater control over electricity overcame her, and now she figured she had enough chakra control to make this work. From what she read, the Ranpugan was a deadly technique when used right.

Karina's hands weaved through a few hand seals, ending off on the Rat hand seal. The two men dealing with Daiki chuckled, and the one holding the sword brought it closer to her friend. Karina forcefully grabbed her wrist, and chakra began to spiral around it. Her arm became engulfed with condensed lightning that twisted sharply around it. Her Ryuugan eyes pierced into her target's eyes; the man with the sword. Before she struck, she uttered...

"Prepare to die..."</sub>
