The Village of Ko [Mission]

[Deleted]

[/i]; I pushed past them roughly, teeth gritted, slightly frantic as I heard the sound of splitting earth and groaning machinery; my comrades were ahead of me, and they were already fighting, by the sounds.

Yet when I surfaced, I found that there was no sign of anything, just a giant ass hole in the middle of the street. I was almost disappointed. I had heard the sound of combat, I was sure of it, yet I hadn't gotten a chance to participate. Also, who had created the hole? Ginko? Isabella? They could both manipulate the earth, from what I'd seen. Was the big ass boss sitting at the bottom of that pit?

Isabella was making announcements to the remaining villagers and calling for Ginko, which was fucking weird, wasn't she standing about like, everywhere? Maybe they were all clones. 

The earth was trembling, rendered unstable, no doubt, from all the stress placed upon it this day. Shit, those people couldn't stay underground like that, the building would collapse upon itself, though everyone else seemed to have recognized this fact far before me; now people were flooding at my back, and I had to move out of the way. Also, that hole was completely cutting off our exit route, yet we had to get the people out of here somehow.

I approached the rim of the pit and found that yep, there the thing was, sitting at the bottom of the hole, having deactivated (ostensibly) for its massive fall. Uh, was it me, or did it sort of look like the Mechinist himself? Man, how fucking cliche'd was it for the guy to create his most powerful bot in his image? If not for the gravitas of the situation, I might have thrown my head back and laughed.

But uh, shit, was the ground that unstable? The hole was like a dozen meters deep, at least. Fuck. Was everyone going to die? I hoped not.

There were other exit routes, we'd just have to travel through the crumbling buildings. That carried with it its own risks, but it's not like we could exactly walk over the abyss. 

My role in evacuating the survivors would, I suppose, be to spearhead the whole operation by shoving aside any debris we came across through the detour. Other than that, most of the concluding process would be up to my friends. I wasn't any good at shepherding people or anything.

Daibu Fundo 大部憤怒 (Greater Rage) [SUFFERING DRAWBACKS]
Rank: "A"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique that temporarily enhances the user's strength, movement capability, as well as their capability of enduring blunt, and bludgeoning attacks for a brief amount of time depending on how strong the user is in class level. This technique is stronger then that of Fundo 憤怒 (Rage) to where the user is capable of performing more.
Special: User grabs their head as they push out their chakra in a blast form, pushing their adrenaline throughout their body as they scream outwards becoming furiously raged.
Drawback: This technique lasts only so many rounds and is capable of performing so many times per day depending on how many times the user knows this technique. The user becomes fatigued greatly for an amount of time depending on the strength of the user, they loose movement capability, strength capability as well as endurance capability against bludgeoning and blunt like attacks. The user is incapable of performing high concentrating Chakra techniques. These Techniques are considered as NinJutsus and GenJutsus, the user is only capable of performing TaiJutsus while in the state of Fundo 憤怒 (Rage). They are incapable of thinking in an intellectual manner because of the understanding of Rage. The user's movement decreases by two movements per round for the remainder of the battle. The user's strength decreases by 25%. The endurance capability of Blunt and Bludgeoning techniques decreases by One rank.
Description: The user becomes a raging fury. Their capability and their power increases somewhat dramatically. Their Strength Increases by 100%, as their movement increases by three movements per round. Their Endurance capability towards Blunt and Bludgeoning like attacks becomes one letter below then the true capability of the technique. This technique lasts only as long as three rounds plus the Class Level the user is. This means that if the user is a "C" Class Character which one would have to be in order to learn this technique, it would be five rounds that the technique is capable of lasting. When the user reaches "B" Class the technique is capable of lasting up to six rounds. This technique may only be performed once per battle for every class level the user is starting at "C" Class. This means that when the user becomes "S" Class, they are capable of performing the technique four times per battle. Depending on how many times the user is capable of using Fundo 憤怒 (Rage) a day they are capable of using this technique that amount of times per day.
Limit: Must know Fundo 憤怒 (Rage) three times.

Buttoi Jouhi (Thick Skin) [0]
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: An elemental resistance towards the body as the body gains a certain style of tough skin, as the bones grew tougher, the muscles grew tougher along the whole body to where elemental techniques are numbed down slightly.
Special: ---
Drawback: They must have endured great pain before hand. Things such as broken bones, broken ribs, ripped muscles along the body. If there was nothing that has happened, no broken bones within learning other techniques, if the Brawler was never harmed, then this does not occur. This technique only resists to Elemental techniques. If the technique slashes, and pierces it still goes through.
Description: Ever wondered why a man could not drown, or someone being execution by electricity and yet still being alive. This is where this technique comes into play. This technique enables the Brawler the capability of withstanding elemental attacks as their body becomes greatly adaptable towards on coming attacks. When the user learns this technique the user is capable of withstanding "S" Rank Elemental attacks reducing the power down by one rank. It is capable of reducing "A" Rank techniques 1.2 times reduced, "B" Rank techniques down to 1.4 times reduced, "C" Rank techniques down to 1.6 times reduced and "D" Rank techniques 1.8 times reduced.

Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Brawler

Damēji Heri (Damage Reduction) [10, 10, 60: 80]
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"

Special: ---
Drawback: Does not work on Slashing, Piercing attacks, or attacks that are not solidified, that hits in a mass amount.

When the user learns "C" Rank version of this technique they are capable of reducing the "C" Rank Bludgeoning, Blunt, and Solidified Attacks down one Rank as well as as "D" Ranks go down 1.2 times reduced capability. When the user learns "B" Rank of this technique the user is capable of withstanding "B" Rank Blunt, Bludgeoning, and Solidified attacks reducing the power down by one rank.

Rank: "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The Outside Fighter are the Tacticianist. They like to stay on the outside space of fighters letting the fighters come to them while using their foot work to avoid attacks. The Outside Fighter has two effects. First Effect is that they hit faster than normal fighters. This means they can hit more times in a single movement then a normal fighter. The second fighter is because they need to use their foot work and since they like to stay along the outside of fighter’s circles they have a higher experience in blocking. This means that an Outside Fighter's blocking capability becomes stronger than other fighters.
Special: ---
Drawback: This Mastery does not stack with other masteries dealing with attacking multiple times in a single movement. This Mastery works only on striking techniques using only the Fists. This Mastery works with Universal Techniques, however does not stack with attacking multiple times in a single movement Techniques that increases the user's striking mobility. This Mastery only works if user has a good footing and proper stance, as well as the guard that's being used.
Description: When the user learns this kind of mastery, their blocking abilities become better, while their speed increases as well. This is done because the outside fighter needs to be able to block hits, following with a quick counter, or be able to hit the opponent multiple times wearing him down. When the user first learns this technique every boxer, or every fighter that fights in hand to hand combat is able to attack with their left, and their right to take up a single movement.
"B" Rank Mastery - Gaining 500 Training Points - User is able to attack two additional times with their lead hand (the hand that jabs) while they are able to attack one more time with their strong hand in a single movement. The blocking capabilities increase as well by .2 per rank.
"A" Rank Mastery - Gaining 1000 Training Points - User is able to attack one more time with their lead hand, and another time with their strong hand. Their blocking abilities increase as well by an additional .2 per rank.
"S" Rank Mastery - Gaining 1500 Training Points - User is able to attack an extra time with their lead hand, while an additional time with their strong hand. This would give a user a total of 4 times with their jabbing arm, while three with their strong arm. This gives them better capabilities of creating fiercer combo, while their blocking abilities increase by an additional .2 per rank.

Limit: Must have mastered Bokushingu (Boxing) by gaining 500 Training Points. Every 500 Points extra until they reached 1,500 Training Points the user is able to pick either Mastery: Outside Fighter for greater speed and blocking ability, or user is able to pick Mastery: Inside Fighter to become a Hybrid Fighter.

Heightened Perception [20, 60: 80]
Rank: "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: By analyzing and keeping an eye on the opponent's shoulder and foot work the user is able to predict movements and grab a feel of when attacks are going to come by making the Boxer a more proficient fighter.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of predicting movements’ one rank below then what they have learned. The user is only capable of predicting movements that are TaiJutsu Based. Any other type of movements cannot be predicted.
Description: The way this technique works is that the user observes certain points of areas of the opponent's body such as the shoulders, thighs, and hips. Since attacks are focused on these points they are capable of making educational guesses towards points of contact that may occur within these certain points. This type of technique is a study where the user is capable of watching an opponent's movements for a brief moment of time predicting TaiJutsu techniques. When the user first learns this technique they are capable of predicting techniques of "D" Rank capability. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "C" Rank capability. When the user learns the "A" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "B" Rank capability.

Special: ---
Drawback: Joints do not get the benefits of this technique.
Description: The stronger the bones, the less likely they are going to be broken. Ever hit an opponent in which is able to withstand more capabilities then normal? Ever hit an opponent or been hit and wondered why a bone did not break when it normally would. This is by bone Density. This technique reduces the techniques power that has bone breaking properties behind the technique. When the user first learns this technique the user has a five percent less chance of his/her bones being broken by techniques with bone breaking properties. When the user learns the "C" Rank version of this technique the user has a ten percent less chance of his/her bones being broken by techniques with bone breaking properties.

[Futabatei Ginko]

SPOILER: Click to show

better late than never

At the shift of the earthen plates, a smirk jolted across the face of the young Genin. The massive automaton, perhaps from its massive weight, had encouraged the ground beneath its feet to give way; the approach of her Mud Clones increased this bulky load, and therefore aided in the deterioration of the quasi-stable land. As a second quake ripped through Ko Village, Gin's muscles quickly furrowed; her sly smile was replaced with a hard frown. The prisoners were now in a place of danger, and, given that the path leading towards Takigakure had been obliterated, perhaps even further danger down the road. Knowing that her two Chunin commanders had been still inside the bunker, Gin worried little about the effects of her technique on those within the metallic confinement.

"Damnit." She made sure to punish herself for acting critically in this situation, but all had happened accordingly. Having had her doppelgangers fall to into their grave with the automaton, Ginko had managed to gain a modicum of her chakra back, but not anything worth much mention.

Isabella emerged from the steel staircase and ordered Ginko to perform something that she currently was incapable of. "Sorry, Isabella-san, but at this moment, I cannot create the needed clones." Her head turned to the left, where lay the automaton; Kaoru, too, seemed to free herself from the steely encasement, and now Team Taki stood ready to finish their mission.

Despite her fluster that led up to the destruction of the Mechanists' personal mechanoid, Ginko still was capable of thinking with some clarity, and thus, hand seals were immediately implemented as she simultaneously thought of a way to remedy the situation. Utilizing what small, yet manageable scope of chakra she still possessed, the kunoichi smashed her fists into the ground; their immediate striking gave way to a massive wall of earth that erected about a meter in front of Ginko. In lieu of using the Mud Overturn as a defensive wall, the low-ninja had instead thought to use it as a bridge to cross the large hole that she helped create. Had the Doro Gaeshi proved capable of transporting Ginko at the very least over its surface, then she would quickly encourage the others to do so.

In the event that either her spiritual reserves were not sufficient or the Doro Gaeshi could not handle the weight of the moving caravan, then she would look to her Chunin superiors for support. They were her leader, after all.

Doton - Doro Gaeshi (Mud Overturn) 00
Rank: "C" "B" "A" "S" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user slams their hands down against the very ground as the ground pushes up in a massive like creation to become a defense against onslaught like attacks.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: "C" Rank and "B" Rank versions are not perfect, a strong drilling/piercing like attack is capable of pushing through the attack. For Techniques of "A" and "S", Rank Version a strong technique of same rank in a drilling/piercing fashion must be used in order to get through.
Description: The user uses their chakra and concentrates greatly along the very attack. The user slams their hands down against the very ground after performing a few hand seals as the user concentrates to push up the ground up in a small distance. The distance of the technique is ten meters per rank of the techniques known.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release.

[Natsy]

After everyone had successfully exited the bunker, Ginko’s quick thinking would enable the entire group to cross over the automaton while it remained temporally trapped in the hole Ginko had created. Upon seeing the makeshift bridge, the survivors would make haste over it, following the genin while the two chuunin assisted them. Fortunately for the team, the wall of mud was sturdy enough for the entire group to move over it.

Conveniently, once the final person had made it over, the wall crumbled in on itself and buried the large automation beneath it. But for how long will remain a mystery. It showed no signs of breaking free, it seemed to have been stuck. The group was free to exit the small village and make it safely to Takigakure without further interruption. Well done ladies and gents! This mission is finally finished! Woo Hoo! Exit when ready!

[Futabatei Ginko]

Being at the helm, and thus, currently the leader of the unit, Ginko moved quickly through the surrounding forest. At the ready, her steady gaze would scan out ahead of the party, just in case other threats lay hidden in the leaves. Seeing nothing that could cause duress on the venture to the village, she felt accomplished.

This had been Gin's first B-ranked mission alongside two chunin operatives. She felt that she had excelled exceptionally well given the objective. Her leadership qualities fluxed steadily.

[The Roar of the Falls]

With quick thinking a small bridge of mud was created and they managed to used people forward and get them really moving! Isabella headed up the end, likely with Kaoru, and they flitted across, looking down at the machine that lay in the crater beneath them. She had half a mind to blow it up but honestly.... it wouldn't do them any good. Instead she finished crossing, sighed happily and looked up at the crowd of people. "We are going home to take!" with a round of cheers she cast a long and sad look at Kaoru before turning and dashing off to the front fo the group, off towards Takigakure.

[Futabatei Ginko]

The kunoichi, with her male Chunin companion in tow, would re-enter the desolate village of Ko. Taki no Kuni possessed numerous forests and waterfall locations and this village wasn't too far off from either one of these regions. Gin would slow down to a steady gait as Cody caught up to her. The sun had been shining brightly and cast a sharp glare from off of her metallic, dual-filtered gas mask.

"Here again..." she mumbled loud enough for him to hear, yet low enough to not be picked up by an automatons who could be monitoring this area. She got low and began to check her light brown flak jacket. The shuriken, kunai and grenade she carried lay snug inside of her vest; elsewhere, inside a lower slot, rested a stack of tags. "Lets go," she said, picking herself up and placing a pair of goggles over her face. In tandem with her fear of being poisoned, the kunoichi also didn't want anything to get inside of her uniquely colored eyes. 

The fact of the matter was this: even though ~Cody had been a middle-ninja and Ginko, a Genin, she still had more knowledge of this area than he did. The silver-haired girl recognized the metallic bunker that lay near the large hole she had created to capture a large mechanoid. Once more, she looked at what all the mission entailed and proceeded to act accordingly.

SPOILER: Click to show

Name: The Hunt
Rank: B
IIC Length: 24 Hours (2 days)
Difficulty: Moderate
Objective: Scour Ko Village for any further survivors and search for any more labs for automatons.
Description: Now that the survivors of Ko have been rescued. Another threat arises as the Mechanist has begun his work once again. The kage wants a group of up to three shinobi to return to the ruin of Ko and search for any remaining survivors and automatons. If an automaton is spotted, dispose of it immediately. You are also instructed to locate any labs located in the village and destroy the lab as well. Any further information is to be reported to the tower upon return.
Reward: 15,000 Ryo

First, she would motion towards the hole and the bunker. "Over there is where we emerged with the prisoners; that large hole there is the grave of a larger automaton.." Well, the word grave fit the description; although she had sounded a bit uncertain when those words left her lips. Still, she held her belief that the thing had been dead; that, or either immobilized. Her goggle-covered eyes would once more scan the area, as she began to remember exactly where certain things were. Hopefully they wouldn't encounter something so large or destructive that either of them couldn't handle... 

Ginko merely waited to see how Cody assessed the situation with his superior intellect. Perhaps he could shed some light on what move to make next given what little she's told him thus far.

[~Cody]

Cody followed Ginko to the village of Ko. Or what remained of it. A sprawling city with all humanity and decency ripped away revealing its defeated form. It was a lost cause. Who knows if it'd stay this way. Hope is stronger than brick and mortar.

A chunin joined them at this site. Apparently, there was more to be found here than what a first expedition had turned up. Cody was a pair of fresh eyes, fresh muscles, and a new opinion, as Ginko accompanied the first run. A lmound lay before a weird bunker in the city. Ginko recalled a large automaton which they destroyed. Their mission entailed Search and Destroy on any remaining automatons and finding their creator.

Cody trailed as he checked himself once more. His pistol crossbows lay at his sides loaded with full magazines of bolts and two full mags on his waist. His crossbow lay on his lower back. Bolts were affixed to the weapon. Including his cigarettes and lighters buried with his ninja tools, he was fully stocked.

"This sounds heavy. Did conventional weapons work on this automaton? Are they weak to any particular jutsu?" Cody wasn't sweating or acting nervous in any way. But flexing himself to his situation. Cody doubted a complete assessment was don't on these things but any insight would help.

If any details were shared he would turn away but catch himself and face the group.
"I figure that you don't mind if I smoke," He had a lighter poised to a cigarette in his mouth. "Since you have that heavy duty gas mask on. But I'll ask anyway."

[Futabatei Ginko]

Standing near Cody despite the awkward feeling that she got when in his presence, the kunoichi noted his weaponry. He had been a marksman? She wondered how good. When he had set forth his inquiries, she respected the tangents in which he came from, as she never considered them before.

"Not that I know of. The Chunin Kaoru is ridiculously strong and used her fists alone; I only have Doton to rely on and it's effects were moderate on the machines. Maybe another release would work; or a perception of an illusion..." This latter suggestion didn't dawn onto Gin until now. To use Genjutsu on an automaton.

The woman's eyes trailed back over towards the opening of the bunker as her partner turned away momentarily. "Do whatever," she responded, "But follow me..." Silently, and with supreme lithesome movements, she moved towards the door that led into the metallic basement. She did remember a room full of automatons down here, perhaps something else lay hidden in this bunker? Before they would delve into those hollow depths, the kunoichi would perform hand seals. Seconds later, two earthen replications of herself began to emerge from the sediment. These would be escorts into the lair and would advance before either human did to ensure the safety of Gin and Cody.

A low drumming noise echoed throughout the tunnel as they descended. "Be careful, an earthquake ripped through here earlier." Her voiced sounded robotic itself from behind the metal gas mask.

[~Cody]

"Thank you, kindly." He drew heavily pon it and puffed curly smoke into the air. "Dunno why I asked I got no releases. Only these..." He pat his holsters and swords at his waist. "Hope we see something, I need to work 'em out."

Cody followed Ginko, matching her step for step, in silence and agility. It wasnt as cold here as he expected from Snow Country. They passed through a basement door, he wiped beading sweat from his brow. SHe worked out a few handseals, he flapped the jacket inviting a breeze into his body. "Whew, I don't need this, fer sure."

Two clones of hers advanced ahead. She was weary of something here. He drew on his cigarete idly the orange cherry lighting his face. She warned of a hazard. Her voice reminded him of an announcement in the tunnel.

"I'm right behind ya."

[Natsy]

As the group had neared the area where the large automaton had fallen into Ginko’s hole, any trace of it was gone. Only the gaping grave remained. However, if either of the group members had ventured near the actual grave, they would see large marks suggesting that the automaton had crawled out of the hole and had ventured down the street past the bunker in which the group was on the verge of entering.

Tori, stood to the left of Cody approximately 50 centimetres away from Ginko as she stood at the opening to the bunker. The chuunin wore typical DBU trousers beneath a robe (type 6) and carried 4 fragmentation grenades and 12 kunai inside the robe and 6 blood clot pills and 8 kunai in his trousers. A large shield (heavy) was strapped tightly to his back. “Good idea in creating the clones, Ginko. Evangeline had spoken rather highly of you once she read the report of your latest mission. Despite I am the highest ranking shinobi on this mission, I am delegating the leadership role to you.”

Tori’s voice was deep and sure. His posture was straight and his shoulders broad. This man was well organized and held the air of authority. Yet now that he had given that task to Ginko, how will the kunochi handle this mission as the squad’s leader? As a genin, was she ready for such a task? As the clones ventured down into the bunker, the sounds of the footsteps echoed throughout the area but nothing else happened. The group was able to enter into the actual bunker without problems.

However, inside the room, the mess the prior group had made was still present and the parts of the automatons that Kaoru had ripped apart were scattered everywhere. It was clear that the room had not been touched since it was last used.

[~Cody]

Ginko led the trio through the bunker. Their chuunin forfeited his authority to her, which, seemed odd to Cody. A moment later they entered a room littered with odd parts.

"Are these the automatons?"

To Cody; Automaton simply meant: machine. His crossbow, a machine meant to assist him, was like these things. If exactly like a crossbow, a machine, they were a tool more than sentient beings.
"What were they used for, before they were torn apart?"

[Futabatei Ginko]

Tori reclined and allowed the genin to proceed as captain. The team delve further into the metallic corridor and reached the antechamber of the automatons; here, once past that steel void, the captain Ginko would tell the team to halt.

"They were," she said, turning to gaze at Cody with her azuline eye at a right-faced profile. She would then return to face the area and observe what she could in several movements time. Tori's role would be simple had anything dangerous arisen: strike down the automaton with his Raiton endeavors had they resurrected.

...What did I miss? the low-ninja kunoichi thought as she eyed the environ. To answer the peculiar, fur-cloaked Cody, she replied - 

"I dunno... Kaoru ran in here and rekt the place." Gin remembered the violent auburn-haired woman in admiration. Perhaps one day she would reach that prowess of strength; yet Ginko's own Doton had exceeded any other genin's. The kunoichi's mind returned to the situation before her; "I think they were guardians of the Ko survivors... sentinels at rest awaiting the approach of Takigakure ninja." She stepped towards the debris. At once, her Mud Clones separated into a Y-formation to scan the room. Had there been any doors or things unnoticed prior? The replications would search endlessly.

Ginko herself would then notice a faint, somehow seething past her gas mask, odor. "Cody, get rid of that fucking cigarette." Her first command as leader.

Genin Leader over 2 Chunin: +50 to observation (lel)

[Natsy]

Observation check failed; Link, I've bookmarked this thread so I will be able to keep better track of the posts being made in it. Lets not make this mission last 3 months, shall we?

“The automatons were created by a man called the Machinist to assist the builders. You see, the environment was a bit too hazardous for the villagers to continue working as several builders were injured badly. One or two died,” Tori said, answering Cody’s question in a tone that resembled sheer boredom. “So the Godaime had asked him to build more automatons to assist the workers with the heavier duties. They were also built to create safer blueprints due to the fact that they are computers, and could calculate things more accurately than a human could.

“But the man evidently thought that his automatons were capable of overthrowing the village of its ninja so he infused his chakra into each machine to give it life before sending it against the shinobi in hopes of overthrowing us.” He said, coming to a halt near one of the crumpled bodies of an automaton. He bent down to pick it up to reveal that it was a smaller replica of the machinist himself, but only its torso and left arm was left behind. An example of Kaoru’s terrible strength.

Ginko’s observations would not assist her this round, the bunker appeared exactly as the former team had left it. However, light did pour in from the door where Kaoru had kicked down and injured one of the survivors. A slight rustle would be heard from beneath the door and a shadow would dash across the top of the staircase leading out to the street outside. Tori glanced toward Ginko as if waiting for orders, yet his body was facing the doorway. “How many automatons were in this bunker, ma’am?” Tori asked.

[Futabatei Ginko]

Tori informed the group of the origins of the automatons and the Mechanist's involvement with the village. The genin was not against using them as builders of metropolis-style cities and other innovative construct; yet she was against their maliciousness.

With nothing else standing out to the squadron, Gin opted to turn back towards the outside perimeter; that's when a slight metallic sound was heard and she whipped her head around to see a small figure dash up the steps. Had it been that cat-robot from earlier sleuthing about down here...? Her dual-colored eyes narrowed as she too faced the stairwell. "There were ten.. however, if that was the cat automaton I had seen before, then it must have came down here to survey the area. Lets head back up top and search for clues."

At her command, the Mud Clones would march back up the steps to the outside of Ko Village. Cody and Tori would follow suit, as well as the original Futabatei genin.

[~Cody]

"..."

Cody snuffed his cigarette. He placed the smoldering dog ear behind his own ear. Surely, there'd be a moment to light up. She was the commander in this sortie. Something jet past them and headed the way they came. Ginko remembered an automation she dubbed as a 'cat automaton'.

"Cat automaton?"
"If I may, ma'am, if you say its like a cat, If you can keep up, I can find its trail."

Even if she denied him he'd take a look around for a possible trail of a cat, its alternating tracks, and where they led.

[Tracking Check]

[\font]

[Natsy]

Tracking check Successful! Next time please add the SP to your check..

As the group ventured in through the door leading to the staircase, Cody’s tracking skills would reveal small indentations in the stairs which may have been done by a smaller creature. Judging from the heavy scratch marks and dents in the metal, it appeared as if something weighing a good amount and with claws had scrambled up these stairs and had tried leaping at four at a time as it did so. The marks lead directly up the staircase and out onto the street running parallel to the beginning of the intersection. The intersection itself was shaped like a large T, with the group walking along the top stroke of the T heading left.

Tori would move out along the side of the building to the left of the exit to the bunker. The chuunin’s eyes scanned the area while he glanced in through the windows of the nearby buildings. His location would be strictly 2 metres away from Ginko. As for Ginko, she would notice that the entire section of this street was immaculate in appearance, all trace of an explosion had been cleared up. One may as well think that there was no explosion at all.

The trails from where Cody was tracking the cat would lead them straight to a large building that appeared to have just had a fresh layer of silver paint and clear glass windows. The glass itself shone brightly in the sunlight, but the figure was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps it had gone inside while the group was following it? The building itself was at least 5 metres high and 8 meters wide. It had four large windows, two windows sitting on one side while two sitting on the other. A large oak door stood in the centre of the building at least 2 metres wide and 5 metres high.

The door appeared slightly ajar but nothing else.

Meanwhile the street itself appeared remote and soundless. Ko village was an empty shell it seemed, but the aura surrounding the village itself suggested otherwise.

[Futabatei Ginko]

With Cody tracking the claw marks of the mechanical feline, Ginko and her clones began to rush towards the outside of the bunker. The four three kunoichi had been headed left and noticed that they were actually heading down a path that seemed to end; however, a tangent lay to the south and gave the small street the shape of a capitalized 'T.' She was amazed at how pristine the streets appeared, despite the ruins that they had lain in just weeks prior. It appeared now to be a renovated area and she made sure to tell both her Chunin counterparts of that difference.

Once Cody tracked the trail back to a new looking building, Gin had her three two earth doppelgangers enter into the establishment before an actual human did. Traps lay everywhere and this would be no place to lose a comrade; Ko Village had already suffered enough loss at the hands of a cynical mechanist.

"My clones will scout the inside of the building before we make our move." She then would turn to Tori; "You, did you notice anything in those buildings you were looking in? It's so quiet around here... but I can still feel an aura hanging in the village."

Each Mud Clone would search the first three levels of the building. Had there been survivors hiding here?... Or automatons lurking in the shadows? They would find out, and their reconnaissance endeavors would be reported directly back to Ginko had anything arisen inside the immaculate structure.

[~Cody]

Cody‘s mind seemed to blank whilst he tracks. The intricacies of the trail dominated him. The turned onto an intersection that had seen better days or a relief effort. And a pristine building which the tracks led to.

Cody turned toward the intersection and th rubble. "Before and," he peeked at the building. "After." He chuckled. "Whoever's inside gon' be mad were tracking ruin all over their clean city."

[Natsy]

As Ginko’s clones when into the building, no trap was sprung. It seemed that the village was open to all. Once inside the actual building, the clones would see the regular innards of what appeared to be a regular flower shop. To the left of the entrance stood rows and rows of miniature flowers and pots, some flowers real while some were artificial. A large desk sat to the back of the building, taking up the entire section while the flooring itself held larger pots and hanging pots filled with various flowers.

The flooring was polished wood and was approximately 8 metres wide and 15 metres long while the ceiling stood at 5 metres. The shop itself was empty but various marks littered the floor. Said marks were only readable to a person capable of tracking and were useless to Ginko’s clones. In the far back to the right of the desk was a large door. Said door was closed. The store’s lights were also turned on. But where are the occupants?

Meanwhile outside, Tori would turn his head to approach Ginko with an answer: “The buildings all appear empty aside from a one human-sized box inside each building. No sign of life anywhere.” Tori explained before approaching the building cautiously, stopping at least half a metre away from the right window. However, judging from the look Tori was giving Cody he wanted the genin to stand on the opposite side while Ginko marched in first. But he relinquished his authority to the kunoichi, so what was Ginko going to do now?
