[/font] The man spoke as he looked at the duo. Yuki clearly didn’t like how she was addressed as she whimpered quietly at the statement. “It’s Ok girl” he said to her with a gleeful smile on his face, as he kneeled down next to her and gave her a pat on the head. After reemerging, he addressed the blue haired ANBU member. “How likely are we to actually run into a foreign shinobi?” he inquired, just making sure. Remus wanted to confirm his thoughts.[/font]

"Silent fang" said the redhead. He then ignited a cigarette and puffed out a cloud of smoke. The ANBU agent cleared his troat while facing the duo.
Silent Fang? James thought. That's a weird name, but of course James knew ninja weren't always the most uniform in naming their young. A lot of clans have odd naming traditions. It could, of course always be a title. Nevertheless, it was unimportant how he received the name, only that that is what James should call him.

"Hello. I'm glad you two could accompany me on the tunnel patrol" started the man.
James nodded his head. He couldn't help but feel giddy at being able to work with a real ANBU.

"We're going to patrol the southern area of the tunnels. Make sure you stay next to me at all time. The tunnels here are a maze and it's very easy to get lost.
What we're looking for are things that should not be there. Cracks, vermin, foreign shinobis plus leaking pipes are the major concerns" continued the agent.
James wasn't real concerned. There is a lot of metal or and pipelines around for him to guide him in such an instance that he should find himself lost. James didn't exactly care much for the cracks and vermin. He was much more excited about the chance to battle with an enemy shinobi, and test his skills out.

"Please follow me. This mission should not take long since you two aren't little kids. The dog can come with us, but it has to be quiet. Any questions?" finished the male while looking at the duo.
"How do we deal with cracks or leaks? Fill them up with Silent Fangs dog treats?" James voiced his concern due to him being only trained in the ninja arts of fighting and espionage. "I can deal with vermin, and any enemy shinobi will be badly hurtin." James added the last bit to practice more with his assonance. He was a relatively new Hyoushi, thus was not yet a master of the rhyme.

((OOC: I will reveal in the next post what kind of creature you're looking at. But you may have figured it out already))


"How likely are we to actually run into a foreign shinobi?" inquired the younger guy. "Not very likely. Most of them get lost in the forest or get caught by security patrolling the entrance section" told the male in a reassuring voice.
"How do we deal with cracks or leaks? Fill them up with Silent Fangs dog treats?" inquired the other teenager.

"No, we got plumbers for those" replied the ANBU in a somewhat dry voice. He had to smile however when James started to rap. The older guy was actually a fan of hip hop and rap music.
The tunnel was dimly lit and very quiet. But that was about to change when the agent turned a corner.

"Stop" muttered the male while holding out his right hand a little. He had spotted something in a corner. The ANBU then pointed at something that was quite far up the wall.
That 'something' had golden eyes that glowed in the faint dark. But due to the faint light, they could not see what it was.

"Don't use any explosives or jutsus to hit that thing. It's hanging right under a major sewage pipe" whispered the man. He was right; there was a thick water pipe leading into that corner.
How would the duo solve this situation? They could not attack it head on given its location.

[Deleted]

[/font] The ANBU spoke, trying to reassure both of the youths that were standing in front of him. This confirmed the boy’s theory. So overall he wasn’t too nervous about the mission at all. It didn’t take long for his partner to open his mouth. “How do we deal with cracks or leaks? Fill them up with Silent Fangs dog treats?” Remus wasn’t sure if he was trying to make a joke at his expense. If that was the case, his tolerance was growing lower with the other shinobi. The rapping didn’t really head. A headache was beginning to develop from the brown-eyed individual. ‘What are the odds, I get partnered with this idiot.’ Remus thought to himself as he blew out the remaining smoke from his system. Throwing the butt of his cigarette on the ground before they had entered the tunnel system.

It took a few moments for the boy to get used to the dimly lit environment. But to be honest, he wasn’t exactly blown away by the interior of the tunnels. As the anbu turned the corner he motioned for the two gents to stop. Remus took an extra step to analyze what was in front of them. His eyes darting around, examining anything his eyes could see.

A whisper came from the ANBU, "Don't use any explosives or jutsus to hit that thing. It's hanging right under a major sewage pipe." Remus’ eyes scanned down towards the golden eyes in the distance. The boy finding it a little difficult to completely see what the creature was because of the dim lights. But he took his superiors advice. He knew he had nothing that could take care of the vermin from such a distance and so precisely. So he had turned his head towards his companion hoping that he could do something in this situation. “Hey, if you can get it out of from under the pipes, Yuki here can finish it off” he spoke calmly and quietly as to not frighten of the creature in the distance. As he spoke, his canine took a few slow steps forward. Now being a bit ahead of both the younger shinobi. But right by the ANBU’s side.

"Stop" muttered the male while holding out his right hand a little.
James halted his movement. He wasn't exactly sure what was going on, so he began his sutatikku nagare jutsu(on for 25 turns). Four white dots appeared in James eyes as his bloodlimit took hold. With this jutsu, he could sense all metal in the area. The pipelines, while intricate, were easy to follow. James turned his head to the direction the ANBU was motioning towards. What looked like a pair of golden eyes were sitting on the pipeline. Because it was dark, James was unable to make out what the creature was.

"Don't use any explosives or jutsus to hit that thing. It's hanging right under a major sewage pipe" whispered the man.
"So we just need to avoid the pipeline? I'll keep that in mind." James whispered to the ANBU. He knew he could avoid all the pipelines in the area if he kept his field active, telling him where they were.

“Hey, if you can get it out of from under the pipes, Yuki here can finish it off” he spoke calmly and quietly as to not frighten of the creature in the distance.
James was certain that he could do just that. Throwing a kunai would just startle the creature, and make it run away. The only sure fire way to make the creature move was what they used on dogs all the time. Electric fences. "Okay listen, You need to all stay real still. I'll herd the creature to yuki and she can go in for the kill. Wait till five feet away to move at least, or you might suffer the safe fate as the beast." James then focused on the area around him. He formed little pockets around himself and the others. The last little pocket made would be a direct path from the golden eyed creature to Yuki. The air would electrify causing everything not in the pocket to be electrified with a B rank amount of damage. James would hold this field open until the golden eyed creature was five feet feet away from the dog. If the creature tried to move out of the designated path, it would be shocked with a B rank amount of damage each time.

Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current)
Rank: "C"
Skilll: Kekkai Genkai Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to manipulate electrostatics and electric charges.
Handsigns: Rat, Dragon, Ram, Tiger, Monkey, Dog, Horse, Rabbit once per 5 turns.
Drawback: Objects must be visible. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Only metallic objects or semi-metallic objects can be manipulated.
Description: Allows the user to manipulate and control electrostatic, which is by definition electricity at rest. This gives the user the ability to move around both positive and negative charges on objects, which, in the end, can result in the ability to either repel or attract objects to and from each other. It must be noted that this jutsu strictly follows the concept of the Conservation of Charges. That means that without influence, all charges within nature are balanced at zero. Only when acted upon do these charges change. This ability is a requirement for all members of the Kyoudo Clan. When the user first gains this ability, they have only the ability to affect one object at a time within five meters of their person. At maximum, the user may move 10% of an object’s positive or negative charges to another object. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Due to the relative electrical field produced by every person Kyoudo cannot affect people, and due to the low electronegativity of non-metallic objects, only metallic objects can be affected. It is only through mastery over the element of thunder that one can obtain this ability.
Limit: Kyoudo Clan only


Sutatikku Nou (Static Awareness)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows a member of the Kyoudo blood limit to manipulate and control electrostatic charges even out of their range of sight, in their personal static field.
Special: -
Drawback: One can only use this ability if it is in the range of their own electrostatic field. Only useful if one has trained Kyori Keiko a number of times. All manipulation of sensed objects is still, of course, limited by the other Kyoudo techniques.
Description: Normally one can only use their Sutatikku Nagare ability on objects they can see. However with much training and experience eventually a member of the Kyoudo become so attuned with their static field that they can 'feel' objects around them. All objects in nature carry an electrical charge even if it's at zero. An experienced Kyoudo can sense such things and manipulate them as long as it is within their own static field. This grants the user the ability of complete static awareness in their field. This is directly correlated to the amount of times one has learned Kyori Keiko (Distance Training).
Limit: Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) ability, 500 tp in the Kyoudo clan. Once you have 500 TP of Kyoudo jutsus, this is automatically "learned".


Kyoudo Enjinboruto (Intense Circle Bolt)
Rank: “A” Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Sends a powerful electrical current throughout the entirety of the user's Sutatikku Nagare field.
Special: “Hand Seals”- Ox, Monkey, Bird, Rat, Dragon, Rabbit, Dog, Ram, hold Tiger.
Drawback: The user must remain still while using this jutsu. Moving more than half a foot while this jutsu is in effect will cause the user to become shocked, too.
Description: The user performs the hand seals, activating a much more potent version of the Enjinburato Jutsu. Channeling electrical current throughout the entirety of their Sutatikku Nagare field, the user becomes capable of releasing a powerful electrical current within their field. Because the Tiger handseal is held, the user is capable of creating tiny pockets within their field that will not be shocked, allowing for allies to rest within the pocket to avoid taking damage. However, if they move outside of their small field while the technique is active, they too will be susceptible to the technique. Causes a "B" rank amount of damage to anyone caught within the field.
Limit: Enjinboruto Required



5x Kyori Keiko (Distance Training)
Rank: E, D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Kekkai Genkai Training Method
Effect: Allows the user the capability of having a wider-ranged Sutatikku Nagare.
Special: ---
Drawback: The training of these techniques are unaffected by difficulty class.
Description: Allows the user’s Static Current ability to effect a larger area. Every time this ability is trained, the user is then allowed to manipulate charges at a longer distance. The additional distance is dependent upon the rank and number of times this technique has been learned.
E Rank increases the number of meters that the user is capable of manipulating by one for each time that the training is learned. Must be learned two times before the user may learn the D Rank.
D Rank increases the number of meters that the user is capable of manipulating by one for each time that the training is learned. Must be learned three times before the user may learn the C Rank.
C Rank increases the number of meters that the user is capable of manipulating by two for each time that the training is learned. Must be learned five times before the user may learn the B Rank.
B Rank increases the number of meters that the user is capable of manipulating by three for each time that the training is learned. Must be learned ten times before the user may learn the A Rank.
A Rank increases the number of meters that the user is capable of manipulating by four for each time that the training is learned. Must be learned fifteen times before the user may learn the S Rank.
S Rank increases the number of meters that the user is capable of manipulating by five for each time that the training is learned. The S Rank may be learned an infinite number of times.

Limit: Must know Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current).



5x Houkou Keiko (Direction Training)
Rank: C, B, A, S
Skill: Kekkai Genkai Training Method
Effect: Allows the user the capability of effecting up to one additional object per training.
Special: ---
Drawback: The training of these techniques are unaffected by difficulty class. Only metallic objects can be manipulated.
Description: A specialized type of training meant to be combined with Sutatikku Nagare, this ability allows the user the capability of manipulating the charges of additional objects so that the user can more quickly cause distinct polarization of objects.
C Rank allows the user to manipulate one additional object for every time that the training is learned. Must be learned five times before the user is capable of learning the B Rank.
B Rank allows the user to manipulate one additional object for every time that the training is learned. Must be learned five times before the user is capable of learning the A Rank.
A Rank allows the user to manipulate two additional objects for every time that the training is learned. Must be learned five times before the user is capable of the S Rank.
S Rank allows the user to manipulate three additional objects for every time that the training is learned. May be learned an infinite number of times.

Limit: Must know Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current).

4x Nintai Keiko (Endurance Training)
Rank: Initially E-Rank, can be learned 19 times.
Skill: Kekkai Genkai Training Method
Effect: Allows the user to go longer without having to perform the Handseals for Sutatikku Nagare.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Each time trained increases the time before the user must re-activate the Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) ability by 5 turns.
Limit: Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) ability.


6x Kyoudo Keiko (Intensity Training)
Rank: D, C, B
Skill: Kekkai Genkai Training Method
Effect: Allows the user the capability of more quickly manipulating the charges in an object so that they become polarized at a greater rate.
Special: ---
Drawback: The training of these techniques are unaffected by difficulty class.
Description: A training method designed to be used in conjunction with Sutatikku Nagare, this ability allows the user the capability of manipulating charges at a faster rate in order to more quickly polarize an object. The percentile rates work in a manner of seconds, meaning that if the user has not learned this ability, they can manipulate the number of charges in an object by 10% of total polarization in one second. In order to completely manipulate an object of the user's choice they must have 100% polarized it. This means that unlearned, it will normally take a Kyoudo ten seconds to get control over one object and for every time they learn this it will take one less second.
D Rank allows for the user to manipulate charges 10% faster for each time that the technique is learned. Must be learned three times before the user is capable of learning the C Rank version.
C Rank allows for the user to manipulate charges 10% faster for each time that the technique is learned. Must be learned three times before the user is capable of learning the B Rank version.
B Rank allows for the user to manipulate charges 10% faster for each time that the technique is learned. May only be learned three times, which puts the user at 100%.

((OOC: Feel free to NPC the source of the smell further down in the post))


"Hey, if you can get it out of from under the pipes, Yuki here can finish it off" suggested the younger guy. Some squeaky noises were heard from the golden-eyed animal that hid in the corner.
"That's not a bad idea. I think it's an animal of some sorts" muttered the man.

"Okay listen, You need to all stay real still. I'll herd the creature to yuki and she can go in for the kill. Wait till five feet away to move at least, or you might suffer the safe fate as the beast." stated the younger male. The ANBU rolled his eyes - he was the one with the highest rank here.

Suddenly, the golden eyed creature flied out of the shadows. It turned out to be a bat with golden eyes. "DUCK!" hissed the man as he knelt down at the floor.
The bat would fly towards the entrance area if the Genins did not hinder it. It was not an enemy, just a scared creature.

"Are you all right? I should have warned you earlier. It's not unusual to find bats or birds hiding in here. They're usually hiding from the thunderstorms or the cold" apologized the agent. He would continue to walk down until the path split in two.

A rotten smell would suddenly make its way through the air. Yuki in particular would find this scent quite revolting due to her sophisticated nose. "Kami...I wonder what this can be" muttered the male.
He looked around to see if he could find the culprit. It could not be far away.

[Deleted]

[/font] The boy spoke with an air of confidence. So Remus didn’t doubt him, he was gonna wait and see what he had planned. However he himself couldn’t see electric currents, so to him nothing had happened after his comrade had woven his seals. The shinobi definitely felt like the guy standing next time him might have absolutely lost it.

However before he could say anything, the sharp “DUCK!” came from the ANBU. Remus followed the orders without question. As soon as his eyes were directed towards the bad, the tension that had shot inside of his body was immediately released. “No point in killing it” he spoke gently as he raised himself back up. “There is probably hundreds of those things down here, it wouldn’t make a difference killing it” Remus declared to the other shinobi after the ANBU had finished as he strolled over beside Yuki.

As soon as he made it by her side, she released a gagging sound. The smell also caught the ANBU’s attention also. “Kami...I wonder what this can be" the man mumbled what seemed more to himself rather than to the rest of the group. Mere moments later the smell had managed to also violet Remus’ nostrils. He quickly covered his nose to protect it from the stench “What the hell is that?” he groaned out to the rest of the group, conveying his displeasure.

Following this, he gestured for his canine to sniff out where it was coming from. She didn’t seem to pleased about having to use her delicate, superior abilities for such a foul scent. But despite everything, she dropped her nose down to the floor and begin to walk towards the source of the smell. Remus and hopefully everyone else right behind them. As they traversed deeper into the tunnels. The smell only intensifying as they got closer. “Sorry for making you do this girl”[/font]

Scent
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: This extraordinary special quality allows a creature to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The creature can detect opponents within 10-meters by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 20-meters; if downwind, it drops to 5-meters. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at x2 the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk, can be detected at x3 normal range. When a creature detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a movement to note the direction of the scent. Whenever the creature comes within 2-meters of the source, the creature pinpoints the source’s location. When finding Herbs and Animals (random), Scent may improve searching for them (must have Scent of object previously before searching). Learning "D" Rank allows the user to search for Common things, while "S" for Nearly Impossible. Each rank user learns increases chance of finding by 2% for the Rank of Herb, and increases per Rank thereafter. Example: At "S" Rank User gains 10% increase chance in finding Common Herbs and Animals but only 2% Increase for Nearly Impossible Herbs and Animals.
Limit: Must be an Animal, Fey, Monster, or Vermin. Innate Animal Jutsu.

“DUCK!” came from the ANBU.
James mid handseal stopped his jutsu. He splayed himself out into a prone position. A bat flew out of the pipe. Not really anything interesting. He expected something a lot more monstrous given the sense of urgency the ANBU spoke with.

“No point in killing it” he spoke gently as he raised himself back up. “There is probably hundreds of those things down here, it wouldn’t make a difference killing it” Remus declared to the other shinobi after the ANBU had finished as he strolled over beside Yuki.
"Alright, there'll most likely be more just out of sight." James was disappointed there wasn't some big beast for him to fight. He wanted some excitement at least. Given he isn't technically in the village anymore. All in all James just wanted a chance to utilize his training against a real threat.

“Kami...I wonder what this can be" the man mumbled what seemed more to himself rather than to the rest of the group. Mere moments later the smell had managed to also violet Remus’ nostrils. He quickly covered his nose to protect it from the stench “What the hell is that?” he groaned out to the rest of the group, conveying his displeasure.
James noticed a slight stench, but was not very attuned to those types of things. When the ANBU and Remus both noticed it as well James wasn't surprised. "Well, you see here right?" He pointed to the pipes. "It's probably just feces from the sewer pipes." There wasn't any reason for James to be alarmed considering he didn't smell it that much.

As they continued on their path James flipped a kunai in his hand. He gazed silently at the electrostatic field around himself as they walked. Mapping out the way in his mind in case they get split up. His memory was pretty good, and a labyrinth isn't too hard to traverse if you remember what lines go where. James hadn't expent the chakra on the jutsu before being stopped by the sudden movement of the bat, but he could feel the chakra inside him wanting to escape; like a sneeze stopped right before.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

"What the hell is that?" groaned the guy while his poor animal companion whimpered. "It's probably just feces from the sewer pipes." told the other male.
"No, it's not the pipes. The plumber fixed the pipes here two days ago" informed the young man.

He was right - there was no injury done to the pipes. It was something else further down the tunnel that created the scent. The culprit was a couple of dead rats that one of the guard dogs had killed that night.
Unfortunately, they were sewage rats infested with viruses. How would they get rid of them in a safe way?

[Deleted]

[/font]

---

"No, it's not the pipes. The plumber fixed the pipes here two days ago.” The ANBU contradicted the other shinobi, which caused Remus to smirk. This guy had no idea what he was talking about. With every moment that he spent with him, he was more and more amazed about the fact that this guy was even able to pass the academy exam. It was definitely a mystery.

However the source of the smell was apparent to everyone in the group pretty quick. A few dead dead and rotting mice in the middle of the tunnel. “Good job, girl” the boy spoke as he patted his canine on the head. He definitely wasn’t thrilled about finding these vermin here. ‘Why did I have to pick patrol of the tunnel system and not something else?’ the boy questioned himself in his head. Quite angry with himself. He knew that they couldn’t just leave the rats here. But he himself however, did not sign up for cleaning duty when he took on this mission.

As Remus inspected the rats he could see that they weren’t just dead but infected. Which wasn’t exactly a surprise since sewage pipes ran through these tunnels, that sometimes cracked and allowed for sewage to leak through. A sigh of disgust escaped the boy’s mouth as he tried to figure out what to do. “I guess we have to get rid of these.” he spoke addressing the ANBU. The boy wasn’t aware of the jutsu that the two other men possessed. But he knew himself, and he had nothing that could deal with this mess. James’ sword caught the boy’s attention however. “Well unless any of you have a technique that can get rid of the rats, I guess you can use your sword to shish kebab the vermin. Then we can dispose of them safely after we get out of the tunnels.” Remus spoke as his cocked back towards his equal in rank.

“Well unless any of you have a technique that can get rid of the rats, I guess you can use your sword to shish kebab the vermin. Then we can dispose of them safely after we get out of the tunnels.” Remus spoke as his cocked back towards his equal in rank.
"I am not really a fire user, and most of my lightning attacks are pretty dangerous in a small area like this, but I can try one of my weaker techniques. No garuntees it will light." James was getting annoyed by the menial tasks in a mission that he believed would have more action. Like, he was plenty strong enough to defend himself from most attacks.

James looked over to the area from where the smell emanated. He performed the handseals for the rock clone technique. Creating only one clone, James' clone proceeded to grab the rats, picking them up. The clone continued walking back to its creator. The slow earthen steps creaked through the cavernous tunnels. The stench grew the closer the rock clone got. It was careful not to crush the rats, as that could cause the sickness to spread. He held the rats out for James to perform his jutsu on.

James raised his hands preforming another set of handseals. A quick few moments of charging passed, and he was able to launch a bullet of lightning into the rats. If one of the rats alit then the clone would use it to light the other one as well. If neither did, then the clone would eat the rats to contain them within itself. "Thats the best I can do, anymore Ideas either of you two?" James asked the two ninja in the case the rats were unable to be burned away.

SPOILER: Click to show

Iwa Bunshin no Jutsu Rock Clone Technique
Rank: B, C-rank for additional training.
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Using their understanding of the earth and minerals within it, the user is capable of bringing those components to the surface, compacting and shaping them into a perfect clone of the user.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: Because of the dense material they are composed of, the clones are rather slow moving when compared to the average shinobi. A source of earth is also needed. (Meaning, if you are in a ship in the middle of the ocean, you will not be able to use this.) In addition, due to the amount of chakra taken to harden and sculpt the earth, only a maximum of five clones can be created per round.
Description: After performing the proper handseals, the user’s chakra surges into the earth, compacting it tightly to form stone. This stone then surfaces and sculpts itself, becoming an exact copy of the user. When first learned, the user has the ability to create two clones. This amount will also increase naturally depending on the difficulty class of the user. The Clones are capable of using any technique affiliated to their element.
D --- 2 clones
C --- 4 clones
B --- 6 clones
A --- 8 clones
S --- 10 clones

For C-rank training, the user can also increase the amount of clones created by one, up to a maximum 20 clones.
Being composed of stone, these clones are much more stable and durable than most others. Depending on the difficult class of the user, they can take so many hits before losing their form and crumbling. Note that if the attacks these clones take are TaiJutsu, the amount is reduced by one. This means while a clone at C rank might be able to take 2 C-rank Ninjutsu, 1 C-rank Taijutsu strike will shatter it. Unless there is an attack that states otherwise, thrown weaponry and stabbing/slashing weaponry count as D-rank attacks. Bludgeoning weapons (such as hammers or clubs) are C-rank strikes. This is because it is easier to smash a stone then it is cut it. The formula is that for each rank in difficulty the user is, the clone may take two strikes of that level, or any combination, as long as the following applies: 1 S = 2 A = 4 B = 8 C = 16 D. (One difficulty class equals two of the previous) Ex. At B rank, a clone would be able to take 1 B-rank strike, and 2 C-ranks. Alternatively, it could take 2 C-ranks and 4 D-ranks. Many combinations are possible, as long as they add up.
Limit: Earth Release.



Raiton: Raikou Kenjuu no Jutsu - Lightning Release: Lightning Revolver Technique
Rank: C Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: A higher powered variation of the Raikou Yama no Jutsu.
Special: "Handseals".
Drawback: --
Description: Concentrating their chakra to more of a pinnacle point and gathering it in a singular mass, the user can shoot a concentrated ball of lightning with speed equal to that of a weapon being thrown. Unlike Raikou Yama no Jutsu, this can carry some serious damage potential, leaving second degree burns and can penetrate up to one inch of human flesh. The full charge takes four movements to prepare, with one movement removed each class the user is above C.
Limit: Must know Raiton: Raikou Yama no Jutsu

"I guess we have to get rid of these." said the guy while he looked at the older male. He gave him a silent nod in reply.
"Well unless any of you have a technique that can get rid of the rats, I guess you can use your sword to shish kebab the vermin. Then we can dispose of them safely after we get out of the tunnels." stated Remus. The ANBU then looked at the other teenager.

"I am not really a fire user, and most of my lightning attacks are pretty dangerous in a small area like this.
But I can try one of my weaker techniques. No guarantees it will light" replied James. He then performed a couple handseals and made a clone of himself.

'Clever idea' thought the young man while smiling behind his mask. The clone picked up the source of the smell before walking back to them. The agent noted that the bunshin creaked while it moved.
'It looks too solid to be a raiton clone. Maybe it's a doton clone?' guessed the man as the guy performed another set of handseals.

He then shot two lightning bullets into the two rats. Both of them caught fire and burned to ashes. The horrid smell was well worth the effort.
"Thats the best I can do. Any more ideas either of you two?" inquired the Genin.

"Thank you for killing them James-san. I would like to take the - ahem - corpses with me so the lab can analyze them. I think it's time for us to make a pest control check here soon.
I think that's it for today. We'll return-".

"Help!" shouted a voice not too far away. It sounded like a young guy or a girl with a sore throat. The ANBU stepped in front of them after he had laid the dead rats in a sterile bag.
"Careful...it may be a decoy. Do you think you can ask your dog to help us out Silent Fang?" asked the male while looking at the redhead.

[Deleted]

[/font][/i] Remus thought. That was a genuinely smart idea. It kept everyone safe from being contaminated, clever. “I think that's it for today. We'll return-". The ANBU was finishing his sentence as he was cut off a by a cry of help in the distance. A young child. It was difficult to identify the gender, the voice was raspy. As if the person hadn’t drank any water for quite a while. Just as the shinobi thought this was going to be a basic pest control mission. He was glad that he could do something that was a bit more interesting.

Before Remus had a chance to react and do anything, the ANBU spoke once more."Careful...it may be a decoy. Do you think you can ask your dog to help us out Silent Fang?" A air of concern surrounded the seasoned shinobi. The boy took his words to heart, he must know what he was doing or else he wouldn’t have made to be a member of the elite force of the village.

He nodded at the older man in front of him before turning to his canine. “Sniff ‘em out Yuki” he instructed her urgently. Her black nose dropped to the floor, as she began to sniff intensely trying to pick up the scent of the individual that was stranded in the elaborate tunnels of Kumogakure. A second later, she began to move deeper into the tunnel system. Remus kept close to her. Staying alert, his eyes darting from one corner of the walls to the other. Trying to find anything that was out of the ordinary.

Yuki:

SPOILER: Click to show

Scent
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: This extraordinary special quality allows a creature to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The creature can detect opponents within 10-meters by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 20-meters; if downwind, it drops to 5-meters. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at x2 the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk, can be detected at x3 normal range. When a creature detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a movement to note the direction of the scent. Whenever the creature comes within 2-meters of the source, the creature pinpoints the source’s location. When finding Herbs and Animals (random), Scent may improve searching for them (must have Scent of object previously before searching). Learning "D" Rank allows the user to search for Common things, while "S" for Nearly Impossible. Each rank user learns increases chance of finding by 2% for the Rank of Herb, and increases per Rank thereafter. Example: At "S" Rank User gains 10% increase chance in finding Common Herbs and Animals but only 2% Increase for Nearly Impossible Herbs and Animals.
Limit: Must be an Animal, Fey, Monster, or Vermin. Innate Animal Jutsu.

James turned his head toward the scream. It sounded raspy, maybe someone trying to impersonate a woman. Possibly some other form of disguise, but of course it could just be a woman. James searched his field for any weapons, or anyone hiding away out of sight. Also looking for any hint of a dangerous tool on the woman screaming for help. If it is safe James would rush to her aid and ask "What's going on?" If there was weaponry he would wait back behind the others to see what happens.


Sutatikku Nou (Static Awareness)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows a member of the Kyoudo blood limit to manipulate and control electrostatic charges even out of their range of sight, in their personal static field.
Special: -
Drawback: One can only use this ability if it is in the range of their own electrostatic field. Only useful if one has trained Kyori Keiko a number of times. All manipulation of sensed objects is still, of course, limited by the other Kyoudo techniques.
Description: Normally one can only use their Sutatikku Nagare ability on objects they can see. However with much training and experience eventually a member of the Kyoudo become so attuned with their static field that they can 'feel' objects around them. All objects in nature carry an electrical charge even if it's at zero. An experienced Kyoudo can sense such things and manipulate them as long as it is within their own static field. This grants the user the ability of complete static awareness in their field. This is directly correlated to the amount of times one has learned Kyori Keiko (Distance Training).
Limit: Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) ability, 500 tp in the Kyoudo clan. Once you have 500 TP of Kyoudo jutsus, this is automatically "learned".

"Sniff 'em out Yuki" told the guy while looking at the animal. Yuki sniffed at the ground in the attempt to find the source. She went deeper into the tunnel system with the human trio behind her.
The older male kept an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. After all, this could be a setup.

It did not take long until they found the person screaming. A young woman with ivory white hair was leaning towards the wall.
The younger male immediately ran towards her. 'Kami...he needs to be more careful' thought the ANBU.

Women in distress worked as a magnet towards men, no matter their age. "What's going on?" inquired James. She looked up at him.
"Need...water.." rasped the kuinochi. The ANBU looked at the area around them.

He walked towards the duo with a strict look at his face. "All right miss. Tell me your name" ordered the man.
"Hokushima...Masami..." replied Masami. She then held out a plastic card.

The agent inspected it. "Looks valid to me. Are you hurt?" asked the man while looking at the female.
"No...I need water. Too much hyuo-".

She started coughing again. He noticed that her skin looked rather dry and tight compared to most people at her age.
"All right then. Let's get you to the hospital. You two can carry her while I alert the security" told the ANBU while he looked at the two Genins.

[Deleted]

[/font] he murmured under his breath. Before either would move, both of the shinobi scanned the area around them for any signs of traps. It seemed clear from the Inuzuka's side anyways. So he followed the ANBU's lead as he began to approach the female and their teammate. She handed her ID to the senior of the group and stated her name. He seemed satisfied with it. It seemed that she actually was a member of the village.

"No...I need water. Too much hyuo-". Her voice so raspy, that it was quite difficult for the young man to understand what she was saying. "Too much what?" Remus questioned as he kneeled down beside her, trying to get closer to be able to hear what she was saying. Still being a bit cautious, something felt weird about this. Why would a member of the village be stranded in the middle of the tunnel. She knew the protocol of getting in and out, there should be no reason for this.

"All right then. Let's get you to the hospital. You two can carry her while I alert the security" The ANBU spoke once again before the woman had a chance to respond to his question. Remus wasn't one to disobey, so he nodded at his superior and gently placed one hand on her back and the other under he legs. And carefully lifted her, as not to damage her since she seemed to be quite fragile at the moment. "Alright lead the way" Remus instructed to the ANBU. He didn't exactly want to be left in the same state as this girl.

"Alright, lead the way" told the guy. The older male nodded while Remus made sure the girl was all right. The ANBU guided them through the tunnel until they reached the gates.
A cat ANBU plus a falcon ANBU were guarding the gates. But it did not take long until two frog ANBU's arrived with a stretcher.

"Please lay her on the stretcher. I'll sign these slips so you can collect your pay. Thank you for the assistance - especially with the rat plus helping out our lady here" told the man.
He signed two paper slips and handed one to each of the Genins. The frog ANBU's would take the female straight to the hospital for further treatment.

[Mission completed! You can collect your pay at the tower]

[Deleted]

[/font] the superior spoke to both of the Genin as a pair of Frog division members appeared with a stretcher. 

The shinobi very carefully placed her frail body onto the stretcher. He then accepted his form of a approval from the ANBU. Thanking him before turning around and walking away with his companion by his side.

James helped carry the woman. The maze of tunnels were fairly easy to navigate with his static field active. Upon dropping the woman off onto the stretcher, James continued back to the village.

[Enter kage bunshin]

'This should be fun' thought the clone as she approached the gates. She was wearing the same outfit as earlier plus a forest green jacket. It was a hybrid of a rain jacket plus a winter jacket.
The kage bunshin had a field pack that contained 6 kunais, a soldier pill, a gas mask with filter B, 2 dokas, a six inch flashlight, 2 bloodclot pills, 3 voice-recording marbles, a wireless radio, a lensatic compass, a rebar splint, a torsion wrench, a half-diamond pick, a hook pick, a ball pick, a rake pick, a glass cutter and 5 exploding pouches. She had a couple of small water bottles plus an extra change of clothes as well.

Her hip pouch contained 6 kunais, 15 hira shurikens, 2 smoke grenades, 2 hikari bombs, a multi-tool, 2 thermal capsules, 2 bloodclot pills, 11 exploding tags, 40 senbons, a pair of goggles with camera and a map of Kaminari no Kuni.
'She should be here any minute now' thought the clone while she looked around for the girl. It had been a while since she had done a border patrol mission.

The clone showed her ID to the guards before she entered the labyrint. Maybe her teammate had misunderstood and was waiting for her outside. 'I need to improve my communication skills' realized the woman.
It did not take long until the darkness hid her completely. So much for being a shinobi...
