Whispers of War [E]

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Hitora was walking with Jasmine towards the cathedral, it was then that the new Genin walked up to him and her after figuring that the lizard person wouldn't like him, it was then that he tried to strike up a conversation but that was soon overshadowed by the Lizard man's comments about Jasmine. Hitora quickly broke from Jasmine and the Genin, he approached the lizard man and stood in front of him, he then said "You will watch what you say about my girlfriend you scaly asshole! I will end you next time, the only reason I've yet to attack you right now is the mere fact that the mission has priority, but after this mission if I see you again I will hurt you."

Hitora then scowled at the man to show he wasn't joking, he then walked back to Jasmine, and kissed her cheek before grabbing her hand gently again. He then said softly to her "Sorry about that, I couldn't stand what he said about you dear, I'd have actually done something but I need to save my strength for the mission, if those who were in the prison are here, we'll need all the strength we can get for it...." Hitora then continued to walk towards the cathedral that was growing ever closer in the rain.

The Greed of Dragon

Was someone cutting me off? That long haired loser asking all the stupid questions, how dare this fool cut me off! Agitating little man. "End me you say?" my mouth produces an amazingly large and devious smile. "You wish to end me?!" My voice grows higher as does my level off anger. I was getting more and more pissed off by the second but I let it all go. "Ha, boy I'd like to see you try!" Why was I getting angry? This annoying punk was a weakling, I could end HIM at any moment I chose, and perhaps I would chose to end him. We were on a dangerous mission right now, were we not? It wouldn't be so surprising that he would die now would it? Beneath me, this fool was beneath me. Then the idea came to me. Rather than killing him. I'd kill that little girlfriend of his. That'd make him very upset. I do enjoy these little endevours of mine from time to time. I'll be sure to end her in one of the most saddening ways possible. I make it look like he was the one at fault, like it was his fault she died. He'll be so sad he'd kill himself. Wouldn't that be grand. That said, I knew I couldn't particularily control my anger. If he got in my way again I really will kill him. I'll warn him, but just once.

"Weak brat I tell you this. Get in my way. I'll bethe one ending up. Get in my way, I will cut you down. We don't need you here. You not being here, does not hinder the mission in any way. Remember that." Again I grip the sword at my hip tighter as I continue to walk toward the cathedral[1]. I grip it so tight the veins in my arm begin to pop, not literally, but they become much more visible. I've gotta kill something soon...
If I reach it this time:
Upon reaching the door to said okay cathedral I smirk proudly. Now was the time to shine. kicking it right open after taking my right (opposite) hand and squeezing the hilt[2] I shout loudly so that anyone near may hear me. "Knock, knock!" I call out, my voice booming. Time to get started.

Preparations for battle

T

he group was one of the most dysfunctional groups he had ever been in, it was as if they were two or even three different factions within the same group. Emi rode slowly around the group whilst they traveled towards the cathedral. A little now and then a few faint light appeared in his mind as the eye scouted the area, but none of which seemed to be of any threat nor belong to the cathedral. When he heard about two of the individuals threatening each other, he was a little ahead of the others, but immediately turned around with his huge friend. The duo dashed towards the hostile teammates and stopped a few meters away.

Seriously, we're on a mission....

He sighed a little as he looked from Glaurung to Hitora.

As the highest ranking member of this group, I hereby order anyone and everyone to focus their attacking force towards our real enemies. If you want to kill each other, I can arrange the arena after the mission is done, but for now, I will have anyone disobeying that order put into jail.

Emi didn't like to force the leading role, especially since he had been forced to lead the entire village for almost 3 months. When he saw that the duo had calmed down, a little at least, he rode on a little ahead again, to scout the area ahead of them. Itk didn't take long before he noticed the five auras. He raised his arm to indicate that the group would need to stop, at least briefly.

There's a small group of five individuals up ahead. They might be part of the renegades, but I would like to find out before we attack them. Glaurung and Hitora, I would like you two to scout from two different sides of the group, to see if you can find any indications on the loyalty of the group. The rest of us shall scout from that building.

He said and pointed towards a building that was quite large and on the same road as they were, about 30 meters away from the group.

Even if you two are on different sides, I want you to stay within 100 meters from the rest of us, so backup can come swiftly if needed.

3^rd Prisoner | Hamada, Sasaki

Sasaki scratched his blond head, groaning to himself at the deplorable behavior caused by the first fellow to have come. Certainly others couldn’t be far but this first guy that just seemed to be deplorable or just mad definitely pissed Sasaki off. His eyes narrowing at the individual that did such. “Hey you wanker. What do you think you are doing breaking down a church door? You think you are some all-powerful being or something? Think you be the god of this here church, boy?” He only kept increasing the danger of his voice the more he spoke, patting the set of swords beside him in that moment while standing.

The pack of swords remaining on his hip while he held one sheath, his stance matching the wanker lizard boy. The fighting and anger that had happened outside these doors of course were unknown to the muscle man himself as he glared all the same. The man however sighed lightly to himself, “If there are more of you coming, just bring them on in as well. You can have them walk down that tunnel there and if you defeat me you can take the tunnel on the other side with my key.” There it was, the many tunnels linking the different rooms and such for the building itself was set as such. Two tunnels were available, Sasaki’s key being capable of opening the locked tunnel itself.

Outside the area however the other shinobi were doing their gathering and plans. But no matter how much investigation of the building were to happen, it would only appear to be that of an old cathedral like normal. The other four individuals not yet seen is not among the top floor at it were to seem. That much as quite unnatural but the chakra senses for Emi were not going to lie, the signatures were underground, many meters down that digging itself is a fruitless tactic to perform. However, with what Sasaki was saying inside it was up to the group to decide if they knew what was said at all in the first place.
OOC: It is sorry to see this by Lady Jaz is no longer capable of being in the event as you have been IIC'd twice. No worries, there is no auto to your character or penalty to it as a whole as nothing has occurred to do that. As for that reason, [Calibretto] may join in Natsy's place. Cali, if you choose to accept you will find a letter mailed to you by a raven giving you directions to the cathedral and then also reckoning description of the situation to the point of now.

• No die roll made for observation, as there was no opponent sneak attacks planned. Sorry but I don't run that way, I don't ever do sneak attacks nor should you plan on it. I am too direct for that.
  
• Everyone but JiMmIyZ - Tak may take the exposed tunnel in the cathedral downwards if you all so choose, however only one may go down the locked tunnel upon Sasaki's defeat. Trust me it will be more eventful that way and no worries you all will meet back up eventually.

[tekoro]

He was left completely unnoticed. Ignored by his allies, he again felt the sting of being the shadow that meant nothing to anyone. This twinge of being ignored was a familiar sensation for Saruka as he decided the he would instead of doing anything, would stay back out of the way and just wait to see what would happen. His foot steps were hollow reminders of how alone he was, and would probably always be. He felt less obligated to stay with the group. "You all's social skills suck..." He sighed as he noticed the cathedral appeared a anyone would expect. It was fairly plain except for the door that was now opened to reveal a pretty scary looking dude. Saruka would not be messing with that guy.

He also noticed the small opening that appeared to be unbarred. This peaked his interest. Taking a few steps forward so that he could get a better look, he pulled on of his Kunai knives out from his back best slots. As he did this, he tied to get a better look at what challenge they were now faces with. The scary looking blond was obviously going to pulverize him if attempted a head on assault. Saruka decided to sit back and let the others handle it, while he prepared to keep them alive.

Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Hitora walked past the two muscle-bound idiots, their fight was unimportant to him. The blonde guy seemed nicer than his own teammate, shame he had to die eventually for his crimes. But for now, Hitora had his own agenda here, supposedly the killer of his clan was located within this group, Hitora wanted to make sure that this fool got what was coming to him, his anger was beginning to rise and his gait and even demeanor was changing slightly, he knew that he was unready for this. The man would definitely have access to the Sharingan whilst Hitora did not, that would put him at a large disadvantage in this fight, hopefully though he’d be able to handle it.

Walking down the tunnel, Hitora could see that this place hadn’t paid its electric bill in some time, or at least the wiring in this tunnel was in need of a check. Hitora then reached into his utility belt and pulled out a small tube that was closed on both ends. He then grasped it in both hands and bent it, activating its chemicals within. The liquid then began to glow and shine around him as he walked through the tunnel, he wondered where Jasmine had went, but decided that it would be best if she weren’t here. He wouldn’t know what he’d do if he lost her here.

No, it was best she were gone, he would be able to fight full on without needing to worry about her. Hitora wondered just how long this blasted tunnel would go on for, his hair still wet from the rain outside, plastered to his forehead, he just wanted to find Ryuuzaki and end his life. Regardless of if any of his team had followed him into this tunnel he would walk, alone if need be to fight with whoever was at the end of it…

The Greed of Dragon

Emi seemed to have taken command of this operation, flaunting his chuunin title about. How proud I was to have a brother like him, wasn't I great? He ordered me to scout out the side of the building, to which I consented but I quickly grew tired. He said something about attacking after scouting as well, right? That was enough scouting, right? With the thought I ran up and kicked the door in. Big mistake on my part as something horrid appeared before me.[1] 'What the?' I thought to myself. What was up with this guys accent? I didn't like it. It seemed far to lower class for me to even begin to acknowledge as even existing and yet, here the god damned thing was. Stabbing me in the ears with the horrid sound. Stabbing and stabbing. "Urk! Your voice makes me want to kill something..." I berate of my opponent as he takes the stance I had already taken. Was this guy a copy cat? Mimicking my moves. Honestly I'm convinced now, this guys entire reason of existing was just to piss me off. He has to die. IN my hands I feel my sword begin to ache, or was that the balls in my groin? Eh, didn't matter. I was asking myself a lot of questions that didn't need answers.

As the man stood around twenty meters in front of me I spoke to him. "Just die." More words of annoyance escape my lips though this time they were spoken with my own sense of power, my authority over the people around me. Would he not listen to my orders? That's the way it always was. My voice issued command over everything. I'd ferociously draw my blade and throw a blade of wind in his direction[2], one that would threaten to take his head of or at least open up his throat. At any rate, death was upon this fool. Picking a fight with me was idiotic. The battle had begun.

Divided team

T

hety had barely even reached the building before Jasmine had left the group. Her destination was unclear but her intentions appeared to leave the mission behind. Emi had never seen any ninja leave a mission before, and even though he had cut one short, he had made sure that the mission was in safe hands. But he quickly changed his mind as he knew that they had technically not been ordered on the mission, but invited for it. So he tried to remain focused on the task and follow his teammates with his inner eye. It did however not take that long before they had changed direction from their brief scouting and headed through the main door. Emi sighed and waved to the only one that was still with him, the newly graduated ninja.

Social skills sucks? You do realize we haven't even been properly introduced?

he said and turned his head towards the boy.

I am Emi of the Hoshigaki clan

Even though it was a fairly simple greeting, he avoided to shake hands, as he didn't feel obliged to do so. The door appeared to be a fairly safe passage, so Emi just walked through it and headed to the aura of the lizard-boy. Zetsubô tried to follow him as far as he was able, but his great stature was a hindrance in the building. It seemed like they all had different objectives from the start, or maybe at Hisoka boy wasn't to be trusted? He thought as he kept a watchful eye on the aura of the unknown boy. The echo of the rge man was heard before e even saw him he did, he stopped for a short moment and looked at the beast of a man. A little intrigued to see his newly found friends real power, he stayed back a little, but reached with his left arm for the umbrella while his eyes scouted the area and mind's eye the entire building.

[[Calibretto]]

A cloaked figure with hood pulled up and over the face, to prevent easy identification as she didnt feel it a good idea to wear her AnBu mask yet since she's still in training, bounds down the roadway towards the inn. The wind flipping the ends of her cloak madly as she dashes like a school-girl late for class on the first day. Her body leaping and rebounding off the ground, trees and any other surface that helps her reach her destination faster. Michiko kept her headband tucked away in her BDU trousers which only covered her from waist to ankle, her steel torso hidden under the cloak had strategically placed exploding tags (15 total) attached to her metallic skin, and to an outsider one who could see them would think her a suicidal freak but to anyone who knew the steel clan ability of launching or detaching metal from their bodies might actually piece together the real reason behind their placement. Thankfully the cloak obscured normal vision from seeing anything except her feet when she walked and her hands when she reached out from under the cloaks sleeves. If she removed her cloak she would be only wearing a pair of pants but the steel ritual which converted her body from flesh and blood to mostly metal gave her the appearance of either being a metal statue, or of wearing an extremely skin tight silver suit. The utility belt she kept strapped to her waist and positioned behind her at an angle for quick grabbing action held a baseplate compass, 15 hira-shuriken, 2 nearly full slots of exploding tags (140), 40 locking tags, 25 ice tags, 25 incendiary and 22 lightning tags all compartmentalized in an organized fashion to allow for easy access if you knew where to grab. She also wore a butt bag carrying 10 kunai and a wireless radio positioned on the opposite lateral side. Her cloak held the letter she was given with detailed instructions leading her here. Making great progress the cloaked figure made great strides reaching the INN and making her way towards the cathedral. The letter contained certain specifics but was still slightly vague about who she'd be working with. This only partially concerned her, she knew what was needing to be done and she also knew she preferred detailed dossiers on anyone she was going to work with though sometimes that's asking a little much. For a moment she'd almost spaced out not realizing she'd reached her destination. Just ahead was a group of people entering a cathedral. Thankfully she'd seemed to have caught up to them fast enough that they were still alive. Taking a running leap the cloaked figure soared through the sky directly towards the small group going into the cathedral. It appears as she got closer she could see a shirtless man with a sword approaching what looked like probably the most over-bulked old man with a single curl of hair that Michiko had seen... probably ... ever. Though the shirtless man appeared to be scaly he wasn't quite as interesting as the gray/blue tinted figure that was standing next to the brown haired rather normal looking man. The skin tone wasn't one she'd seen amongst those of her steel clan and she cant recall the last time she saw this color of skin, if at all. Landing just twenty to thirty feet away from the inconspicuous man and the gray/blue skinned figure Michiko attempted to approach as non-threatningly as she knew how. Left hand empty and right hand clutching the letter delivered by the raven, which she assumed everyone on this mission received, Michiko approaches the scene calmly but with hood still up obscuring some visual recognition just incase these individuals are someone she needs to escape from rapidly.

Hitora being the only one going down the tunnel for now noticed nothing out of the ordinary, in fact it can be quite unsettling how obviously ill prepared the area is to infiltration. However with goal in mind the tunnel just keeps going, and appears with the low light available by the glowstick that the tunnel may go on forever. Bend after bend the trail leads onwards, but there is one good thing that comes of all this. You at least are getting your exercise and thoughts to yourself while the noises of what happen above slowly dim the further in you go down this tunnel.

Lizard boy finally stepped up to the plate it seemed, having produced a technique that his opponent knew all too well having an intimate knowledge of the techniques and the like they possessed. He only chuckled at this attempt to take his life, as pitiful as it may be, but gave the boy credit for having some spunk to him. All it took was a simple Keihatsu Ryuu: Kagenui to move the body in fashion of what can appear as just a single step with the boundaries of the shunshin available to him. This technique traditionally used to pivot into an enemy’s boundaries yet not quite used in this fashion, rather it was simply utilized to dodge an air attack.

“Are we going to sit around all day, or are we going to…” A brief pause before a banshee yell of the final word, “fight!?” The question posed in the air and rippled it all the same as he only smiled while remaining in calm stature to then resuming his stance of the drawing blade where he simple had a hand touching the hilt of his sword. His eyes now scanned to see what was affected by his shockwave of sound, the sound shuttering along the air in fluid physical form and not only targeted the one foe, but all those others dumb enough to stay behind and not accepting his invitation to go ahead of this lizard boy.

Saruka sat for a moment before he realized that he would be safer following the dark haired fellow down the tunnel. "Why is it always me?" He asked charging towards the tunnel as a loud screech rang out. feeling an intense pain in his ear drums, Saruka began to feel his bodies balance fail. His body swayed as he reached the tunnel only to tumble down into a pit of darkness. He felt his body falling for only a moment as he fell forward to begin rolling down the slope. "Ahh..." He grumbled as he rolled to a stop in the dim light of resonated beyond from where he was now laying.

His sore body ached as he pushed himself back to his felt. "Ah, what the hell was that?" Saruka asked as his voice resonated in the cavernous tunnel. He could make out a faint light in the darkness, yet he couldn't make out anything else. He felt his body beginning to chase the floating glow that seemed to drift away like a Spector. What was he doing? Floating lights are rarely a good thing. He sighed as he pushed the thought aside and continued downward in hopes of successfully catching up the the greenish glow.

Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha) its your go

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Hitora was far enough down the tunnel that the scream in the last room was watered down a great deal, he still heard it but it had no real effect on him all in all. He wondered just how long this blasted tunnel would last, though in the end he had no real choice but to keep going for he knew that if he went back he would only get caught up in a fight he had little chances of winning. Seriously, that man was a mountain not a man, was he made exclusively of only muscle? No, Hitora knew that he had to keep going forwards and trust the mountain back there to the rest of his team despite the fact that he heard another walking behind him Hitora showed no intentions of slowing down nor the desire or will to open another glowstick for the person following him.

The Greed of Dragon

My attack aimed true yet my opponent was crafty. He almost disappeared before my very eyes though reappeared very quickly, having avoided my attack. He was fast, I would award him that. It was unfortunate that he wasn't that smart however as right as I sheathed my sword and prepared for a great battle I was met with a force unlike any I had faced before. I was quick to throw my hands up to my face to protect myself but I was swept up in a tidal wave of sound that shook me to my core, throwing me about like a doll. I was pushed back about fifteen meters. Thrown through the air I tumbled backward yet caught myself at around the ten meter mark, my feet coming to stop my momentum as I slide across the ground kicking up dirt and mud in the process. I was bruised and battered across my anterior, my lip was bleeding a bit as well. What on earth kind of technique was that? It was as if his voice managed to cause the air around myself to attack me. Terrifying that a technique like that could exist but as I mentioned this man was not the brightest of the bunch.

For someone so quickly to scold me for kicking the door of the chapel in he seemed to have qualms about destroying the place. At his call the whole building would be rocked. His voice would cause the shutters to quake, the walls to smash outward, and the ceiling to cave in. This chapel was no longer a building, it was soon to be rubble. My eyes were upon the man who had managed to shake me, my hand upon my sword as I once again took hold of the hilt.[1] I was on the defensive now, I had to answer to this attack. I'm... Hurt...

Once upon a time there was a... FIGHT

E

mi had followed the aura that approached them for quite some time, curious on what individual was coming towards them. The signature of the chakra he perceived was unfamiliar to him, despite that it was one of the strongest ones in the area. When the individual got closer, Emi noticed that there were nothing stealthy about the girls approach, which calmed him down slightly. It wasn't anyone hostile. But he was barely able to give the girl a quick glance with his real eyes before the opponent moved. It was one of he quick motion techniques he knew all too well, and he had to stop his body not to counter the movement by instinct. "I cant intervene in his fight" He thought and drew the umbrella instead.

The boy was not in the immediate danger zone of a taijutsu fight, and would with ease be able to move further away, but he wanted to be able to avoid any unnecessary stray attacks hitting him. The large umbrella was however in passive position along with himself until the moment when he saw the shock-wave the large man's voice created. The power was clear as everything in front of the man was immediately pushed back from his massive scream. Emi's heart began to pump around adrenaline into his body as the battle had begun and his defensive instincts screamed for him to hide. But instead of running behind a pillar or anything like that, Emi raised the metal umbrella and shielded himself with it by going into the bear stance he had practiced so much. The pushing power in the scream was so great that Emi had to use his entire weight and power to avoid getting knocked back. How could that man even muster such power? Emi slowly breathed out when the shockwave had passed.

Since this is your fight Glaurung, just tell me if you need any assistance...

He said to the reptile which appeared to be on the defensive in the fight, which was strange for a predator. But since Glaurung appeared to be such an individual that wouldn´t like anyone to interfere with his battles, Emi jumped two times backwards to be out of possible range for another area of effect attack aimed at Glaurung.

Did the girl send you here to assist us?

The question was directed to the newly arrived girl. Emi didn´t look at her as he didn't want to look away from the opponent, but he waved a little with his hand as a greeting.

Another of the already arrived crew made his way deeper into the cathedral all the while the buff lizard boy was squaring off with the overtly large grandpa. Things were already weird, but Michiko was no stranger to the unusual so she simply made her approach towards the soft-blue skinned individual directly ahead of her. No one had bothered to turn to her and thus having the letter out seemed less important, so only holding the letter out a little bit she shrugged and stuffed it back into her spacious cloak. Michiko was given no more time to think when a loud roar erupted from within the cathedral that sent the ground and walls into a shaking frenzy. Ground was being uprooted and structures were crumbling piece at a time as a shockwave of air moved towards her current location. The blue shinobi in front of her readied a not-so-traditional umbrella and braced behind it like a shield as the shockwave poured over and around being deflected like a dam deflecting water around itself. Michiko's body reacted before she could and her previously human-soft metal skin immediately , yet with no “visible” change, became a near impervious armor as she had no time to react dropping down into a defensive block. Michiko's body tucked neatly down to minimize her surface space and her steel fists were brought up in front of her in a deflecting position. Thankfully her body was positioned mostly behind the umbrella weilding individual so little to no real danger actually made it back to her however a kunoichi's instincts can keep her safe even if there is less danger than she originally thought. After the shockwave passed Michiko popped to a stance rapidly and re-took in the surroundings, the cathedral didn't look like it could withstand much more of that. The umbrella toting blue-nin took a couple leaps back bringing themselves much closer to Michiko and waved their hand as they offered a commentary. Did the girl send you here to assist us? Tilting her head slightly listening to the voice Michiko approched calmly while responding. " I received a letter requesting my assistance on this mission, I can presume by the looks of things its not but just started. Do you really think big green there can handle ripped grandpa all by himself?" She stated referring to the lizard boy fighting the overly muscular opponent. " If so then we should probably be on our way I have a sneaking suspicion this onion has many layers to be peeled." Michiko continued before really allowing the blue-nin a chance to respond. Should the blue-nin however choose to continue on Michiko would simply half-bow and gesture towards the area deeper into the cathedral before following in, should the blue-nin however not wish to continue Michiko would simply stand nonchalantly waiting with them.

If at any point the user's Difficulty Class for movements reduces below "D" Rank, they will be considered to have zero movements per turn, unless they are performing the required handseals to obtain a lower Durability. Description: The Koutestu no Karada, or the Steel Body, is the understanding of just how powerful the user's steel has become. The Steel of the body is capable of resisting up to one strike of the same Rank as it before becoming injured. This technique, while not in weapon form, can be modified around, due to the fact that the lower the ranking, the faster that the user is capable of moving with less training.

Special: --- Drawback: Must learn the technique for every rank of Koutetsu no Karada or else the user will suffer from movement penalties. Description: This specialized form of training is given to those individuals within the Seitetsu Clan. Upon becoming an individual with the Steel Body technique, the user's own speeds will dramatically suffer. This training allows the user to act as if they were unaffected by the steel transitions within the body, allowing them to fight normally. Each Rank of this technique reduces the Difficulty Class Movement Penalty imposed by the Steel Body technique by one Difficulty Class, meaning that if the user only has the "D" Rank of this technique but switches to "B" Rank Steel Body, then they will have their movements reduced to the point that they would move as if they were two Difficulty Classes lower than they were, instead of three. If they have the "C" Rank Steel Body, then they will suffer only a singular class deduction with the "B" Rank Steel Body, and the "B" Rank of this technique would allow for no Difficulty Class Movement Penalty for the "B" Rank Steel Body.

There are no hand movements, no actions, the user simply looks at the target and can simply know how much more life the target has before the soul finally leaves the body. This does not work on undead. This is normally used for NPC purposes. Opponent's cannot state how much life a PC character will have unless they are at the verge of death. Limit: Must be a Soulcaster. =========================================== Kikaichu no Jutsu (Destruction Bug Host Technique) -[10TP] Rank: D Skill: Ninjutsu Effect: Allows the user to control the kikaichu given to him by the Kikaichu Ishoku ritual.

Special: Must have obtained 500 TP in the Clan Jutsu. Drawback: Only "B" rank techniques or lower are effected by this ability. The user still loses the number of movements that the technique would normally require. Description: When the Weapon has learned enough about manipulating their body into different forms of Steel, they gain enough understanding of the transformations to become capable of utilizing those abilities without the use of handseals. In this manner, they will become capable of transforming in and out of different weaponry without pausing between the Human Form. This is primarily used so that the Human Weapon can transition between Weapon Forms while being Wielded by a Human Ally Specialist. Limit: Must have 500 TP in Seitetsu Clan Jutsu.

Father 'Suke I choose you! 

[Father 'Suke]

3^rd Prisoner | Hamada, Sasaki

Those near enough to be caught in the blast (Saruka and Glaurung) can find themselves being knocked back twenty feet with the exceptional knowledge this chaotic muscle man knew. Saruka had made a dive for the gateway yet due to the shock wave hitting Saruka before reaching the gateway resulted in the knocking back of twenty meters. Such distance in and of itself brought forth a hitting of the wall on the far side (in this case the right side of the cathedral upon entering) leaving Saruka still capable of getting to the entry point so long as nothing else diminished or harmed him from getting to it.

Glaurung was shot back but had enough wit to rebound from it halfway through the knockback. Coincidentally the location of Glaurung now was behind Emi and Michiko due to being just a little ways in through the door when first attacking. Glaurung approximately nineteen meters behind the two other comrades whom protected themselves from the attack by the use of an umbrella. However there is a new trouble brewing for all those above ground. Due to the attack of a shock wave the entire building was ready to collapse and yet due to its versatile strength there was a unique fold for it.

The muscle man smiled while he now seemed to only bolster his strength and prowess, a certain necessity for himself as his eyes perked up and a grin spread along his lips whilst he kept hold on one of his many swords by being inside the stance itself. His gripping smile spread and he now spoke, “All but the lizard man can still go, this is your final chance before I make this entire place topple for sure on all our heads.” He knew his last move crippled the structure, and there was a growing chance that the place did crash before he had any chance to killing this fool who damaged the door anyways.

---

The bossman looked to Ryuuzaki with a nod as he spoke to him in a steady smile, “You can go on ahead to the second floor, I have an inkling it won't be long before this is over and done.” His eyes rested on the prisoner he issued the escape for. Ryuuzaki making way to the next floor with a subtle movement to it as he only found his way going there in steady fashion while the upcoming battles ahead were to take place in an easy fashion. Once in the actual floor it was a simple room of ten meter radius as it was a purely circular empty room with a low six foot high ceiling. There rested two exits on the far wall behind Ryuuzaki whom sat in between the two doors and if he chose to stand he'd still be comfortable in the five foot six inch height he possessed. Twenty meters ahead of him was the entry to the tunnels leading to the first floor where Hamada was wrecking havoc more than likely.

Drawback: ----
Description: The final step, this form of chaos was never thought to exist. But here it lies in every Kamyuja member awaiting to be awaken so there true power can shine. This form of chaos is to be known as the most powerful one of all, in truth it has no weakness and will break the boundaries of mankind as we known. When activating the fourth stage of chaos the person seems to have more control then ever before, unlike the three stage they are able to control there emotions and suppress there strength at will. This time around the eyes of the Kamyuja don’t change, instead they stay there original genetic color, though there eye remain the same their eyes do glisten with brilliance while chaos is activated, but there are some cases where the eyes still retain the 'Third stages' color. Meaning someone who had black or white eyes will retain that when they unlock the fourth eyes..

Unlike before, where the Kamyuja’s nocieptor’s would shut down so they wouldn’t be able to feel pain no longer applies. Now the nocieptor are still active allowing the Kamyuja to actually feel pain when they are in this stage, this would seem to damper there ability but in truth it actually increase it. The pituitary gland works more proficient then before, allowing it to produce an absurd amount of endorphins while they are in this stage. They are able to negate fifty percent of all damage done to them making any physical damage done to them that was serious feel like a minor wound. Though they don’t posses the ability not to feel pain anymore they do have the ability now to negate most of the damage done to them, this also proves useless for them now since they no longer have a time limit like before.
Limit: Must have the Kamyuja Bloodlimit, In order to obtain this the user must have 500tp within the Kamyuja Clan and must be role played out to obtain.

On the turn it succeeds there will be 1 second of the 6 seconds for the round that you can utilize to get into the tunnel. You have been warned...
  
• Due to Hamada being B-class the knockback is 5 additional meters, so not 15 but rather 20.
  
• Saruka, due to you not getting into the tunnels before saying you "heard" the noise you were affected by the shockwave. Whether you have broken bones, loss of air, or whatever else from hitting that wall is up to you but you have the luxury of not being killed by it.
  
• Hitora, next turn you will be in the circular room with Ryuuzaki.
  
• Any questions or concerns PM or Skype me.
  

Sorry for the wait, I was moving RL in with my fiance so there you have it. Now then I believe you are up now, tekoro

Saruka chased the fellow in hopes of
Catching up to him. "Wait up..." He muttered hoping to get the attention of the fellow who seemed to give less then two shits about Saruka. He hated when people acted this way, but it was to be expected. How could such a lowly fellow like him do anything more than annoy the much more powerful fellow with the glow stick in his hand. Using the light as a focal point, Saruka continued to follow the fluorescent glow. It was one of the few things he could do at this point. Otherwise he was probably dead meat. He looked around him and only saw blackness and disparity. He longed for some light somewhere. He awaited the response of Ryota as he did his best to catch up.

OCC: sorry about the length, but not much to write about

Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha) its you

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Hitora continued to walk through the hallway; it was still as dark and dank as it had been these last few long minutes. The walk was annoyingly long, and the younger male trying to make conversation or having him slow down was beginning to wear on his nerves a good deal. Hitora sighed, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel was now beginning to brighten, and grow closer soon he would be in another room and likely challenged by another opponent, hopefully the bastard from the Uchiha Clan known as Ryuuzaki. Hitora then reached into one of the pouches on his utility belt and pulled out a senbon, he then hid it behind his hand, wrist and arm for easy use in combat. Hitora then approached the threshold of the hallway that lead into the next room, looking for anything that might be in the room so he can quickly react to it.

Rank: "E"
Skill: Skill
Effect: This skill focuses certain powers of observation - sight, smell, hearing, and touch.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Can be learned by an Animal. A failed check indicates that the character is oblivious until the thing is pointed out to him. This skill is important for ferreting out advancing enemies or ambushes, generally real-time events and actions occurring, versus scrutiny, which covers static objects or areas. A Game Master may roll an Observation skill check for a Character any time there is an NPC, monster, event or happening that a character might notice, even if he did not specifically state that he is monitoring his surroundings. Characters are capable of noticing any event within their perception. Observation reveals only facts, not motivation. Each time learned user gets 1 die roll to increase the skill. If you are Schooled in Anthropology you gain a +10% synergy bonus with Observation checks that involve noticing disguise checks.

The Greed of Dragon

So this bastard felt like facing me one on one? Tedious work but now that Emi had spoken about it being MY fight, well my pride got in the way. Fuck! How annoying. Breaking my stance for a short series of hand signs I strengthened my skin as my opponents eyes changed colour and I walked a meter ahead, returning to my stance immediately as I finished[1]. God forbid this guy have some kind of Dojutsu, the last thing I needed was for this annoyance to turn out to be proficient with Genjutsu as well and send me into a trance. "Just die." I repeated my former words as my agitation began to grow. Injured as I was I was unable to take the chance I had previously with my striking first. I felt as though I was out of this guys range now so that was something at least but just where was this battle going to go? I needed to be wary. I'm not going to do something embarrassing like die against this idiot.
