19:38 - Outskirts of Amegakure no sato.

The village of Rain was much like one would come to expect. The innermost central hub of the village was in prime condition, seeming almost futuristic in some regards. Pipes and drains were controlling the flow of the ever downpour within the country. For this day, it seemed that the sky was crying its heart out. In the distance, towards the north and beyond the gates and walls of the village, a storm was approaching. Thunderous lightning was splitting the night sky, and every booming echo could be felt to the deepest recesses of any citizen's hearts. Tonight, this very evening, the events that were about to transpire would determine the future of the entire village. The centre of the village was slowly coming to a halt as the lateness of the day was felt by the general populace. The trade district was slowly reaching a standstill, and several of the shops were clossing down, or had already closed.

...On the outskirts of the village however, things were very much alive. A couple of days ago, a high profile target - an Amegakure village elder by the name of Tamiwara, had been moved to an abandonned healthcare building. Around the building itself was an overgrown wall. Vines of different sorts were creeping over the stones, and a strange aroma of ruin was ever present. By the gate entrance to the asylum itself, a near fully rusted iron plate read the name of the place. Glades Asylum, Mental Healthcare and recuperation. The building on the inside had an array of shattered and overgrown windows. The paint on the walls was cracked and unkept, and if not for the specific knowledge that the ANBU members of the small incursion force had of the place, it would've been impossible to guess its true purpose. The entrance to this abandonned asylum was where she was waiting for her comrades. There had been so many unfortunate incidents in the past few weeks. There had been so many inconsistencies and strange occurences. That is why she had gathered allies to investigate any and all clues that had been given to her.

What she and her closest allies had learned, was that things were far more dire than they had initially suspected. Although information was still pretty scarce, they knew with certainty that the elders of the village had been preparing an ancient ritual, that supposedly had the power to wipe out an entire country on its own. They would dare use this power to spite a new war amongst the nations, plunging the world into an era of chaos, all for their own personal gain and desires. Thus, the girl had made a decision. This was dire enough that any means would be used to prevent a disaster. It was only because she and Ryosuke had been to Sunagakure, that she had known exactly who to contact for a little assistance. Having arranged their arrival, a group of Sunagakure shinobi had promised to give her their assistance. Now all their eggs were in one basket. They absolutely had to succeed in their raid on this Crimson Prison. Looking around for the others to arrive, she would've lied if she attempted to claim that she wasn't nervous. This was something that she was taking full responsibility for. If they failed here, it would be considered treason. If they succeeded, it would be considered liberation.

The victor would write the history. The girl herself was wearing her standard ANBU outfit, except for the obvious lack of a mask over her face. In the belt around her waist she carried two katanas. Clipped into the belt aswell was a series of different grenades. Smoke and incendiary being the main ones. In a compartment behind these, she had a full slot of exploding tags, excellent for breaching and entering should they find any closed doors. In the containers that were her buttbag she had all of her medical equipment. Several blood and soldier pills, including several doses of the all rare dreamfoil. These doses could be used if someone was to lose their life. Over her back, she held an enormous gourd filled to the brim with sand. Regular, plain, sand. All in all, the girl was armed to the teeth, and mentally, she had prepared herself that this endeavour could cost her her life. For now, she was biding her time, waiting for everyone to arrive and be ready.

[Molokai]

The moment of truth.

Turin al-Sahar glided through the rain-soaked village, his footsteps blending with the hammering rain, illuminated only by the lightning. His new dark vision had opened up to him new avenues of travel. Through blackness, he moved to meet with the mission that would mean his triumph, or his downfall. He wore no disguise tonight; there was no need for it. If he succeeded, there would be no question who he was. If he failed, it wouldn't matter.

Yoshi had provided him with the location, and it was there that he spotted her, clad in black, waiting by the entrance. The wall that she leaned against was overgrown and crumbling, the building beyond even more so. Nobody would ever think it held anything other than ghosts, and for that reason Turin wasn't surprised at all that the ANBU sheltered there. As he approached, he slowed his run and allowed her plenty of time to see him. He dared not shout out for her attention, so he remained silent until he was within quiet speaking distance of her.

"Just us?" He asked between cracks of thunder, not actually expecting an answer. He would never admit to being nervous, but as strong as the two of them were, he knew they would be vastly outnumbered. Hopefully she had some backup in mind. But, if not, Turin was prepared to do what he had to.

As usual, his equipment was sparse to prevent being overburdened. In his hands was his 140lb-draw rifle crossbow, optimized, stabilized, and supporting a scope with a ten-times zoom and thermal vision. In his quiver, hanging from his left hip and fully exposed for ease of access, he carried only a hundred and fifty bolts. Seventy of them were standard, unmodified. Fifty were razor-fletched, and the final thirty bore explosive tips. Within the folds of his shirt and jacket were a total of twenty knives, all concealed. Within the butt bag that he held on his right hip, he carried his compass and world map, which wouldn't do him much good; a fully-stocked, twenty-piece lock pick set; five glass cutters; and a spare wireless radio.

His other wireless radio was already on his neck. The infiltration of Tamiwara's mansion had desperately wanted for them, and he was not about to make that same mistake. At the mansion, the lack of communication had been inconvenient. Inside the ANBU headquarters, it would be fatal. Not seeing anybody else, he offered the second one to Yoshi, "Do you have one of these?" He asked as he held it out, overhand to protect it from the rain, "If not, take this one. We'll need it."

Overhead, the sky continued to open up. It pelted them with dime-sized drops that battered his hood like they were trying to break in. The weather was once again on their side, it seemed. The cacophony would mask the sound of their approach, and the thickness of the clouds made it even darker than usual. He had to hand it to Yoshi, she had impeccable timing. Once the radio was accepted or denied, there would be nothing left to do but wait. So, he would close his eyes and steel himself for the trial ahead.

Defensive Shot
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: A technique in which if the user has his sights set on a target ready to attack, the senses of the Marksman is so in tuned with his surroundings the user is unable to be flanked.
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 Marksman 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. 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 cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Marksman.

Speed Reload (Rifle Crossbow)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: User is able to load their Rifle Crossbow more rapidly than normal.

With this technique the user's 5th Range increment for this weapon is 75 meters. This increases the user's mobility attack as well as the stationary attack allowing the user to shoot at further distances without worrying too much about close combat.

Rank: "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: Allows the user to see through darkness and simple smoke.
Special: ---
Drawback:
Description: Maintaining visual confirmation of a target is one of the most important hallmarks of the Marksman.

The user trains in obscure locations within darkness and Smoke so that their eyes may be able to adjust quickly to the different changes. This technique does have a minor drawback as it takes 2 movements in order for the eyes to adjust to the change in environment.

Amira slowly made her way through the village. The obvious downpour had probably scared Isamu back into his raincoat. As she found herself jumping from steel building to building, eventually the young Kazekage noticed someone who appeared to be of one of the AnBu divisions. Remembering that lady Yoshine was a member of the black ops, Amira didn't hesitate to approach as she jumped down, landing right beside lady Yoshine and in front of the other fellow. "It's good to see you in one piece my friend." Amira said keeping her head down so that her wide brimmed hat covered her eyes from view.

Her light tan Sunagakure headband hung relaxed around her neck to match the color of her long sleeve shirt that had the sleeves rolled up to about her elbows. Her sand colored tactical best covered her torso and bust, giving her a modest appearance. Her under clothing consisted of a comfortable betting that definitely made moving around in all of the gear more comfortable. Her tan cloak covered her body down to her wrists. The shinobi standard issue pants and sandals finished off her appearance, giving her the stately look of both a shinobi and a Kage. Her dark hair was slightly visible out from under her hat and her scar that ran across the bridge of her nose was barely visible from under the hat as she allowed herself to be seen by the pair plainly. The young attractive Kazekage awaited her team's arrival before she decided to inquire any further than what Yoshi was willing to give her. "So my friend, what is it that brought me to you today?" Amira asked with a kind smile as she awaited to hear what Yoshine had to say about the whole situation.

Isamu followed the Kazekage from rooftop to rooftop his eyes scanning the horizon and streets below, peering through the rain. Isamu had retained his short military cut black hair and brown eyes from the start of their journey in the Land of Wind. The black raincoat that Isamu wore had a hood pulled up around his head and extended down to his ankles. Underneath the coat was a tactical vest, over a black t-shirt, with six kunai and the pack for the Genin's communication device. The earpiece for the device was in the Sadojin's left ear and on his back was a large tan gourd filled with sand. Isamu also wore an olive green pair of cargo pants and a standard pair of shinobi sandals. On the Genin's left hip was his katana and on his right hip was a pouch with twelve shuriken. Isamu's Sunagakure headband had been moved from his right arm to his forehead so he could be identified with his jacket on.

Two figures in the street below caught Isamu's eye. One had a gourd on their back not dissimilar to Isamu's own. The Kazekage had seen these two as well and the group quickly changed direction alighting on the street alongside the two shinobi. Isamu immediately took stock of the group. The shinobi with the gourd filled with sand and twin katanas, was dressed as a member of the ANBU but did not wear the traditional mask. The other had a large crossbow in his hand. Isamu had no idea what was going on and was beset by a feeling of unease. Isamu did not like being in the dark but his face betrayed nothing as he stood ready to defend his Kage. The Kazekage addressed the kunoichi as a friend but Isamu remained silent and impassive behind her. Hopefully someone would fill him in shortly.

[❥ cannibble]

A dark figure followed Amira and Isamu without difficulty or hesitation. The figure sported jet black cloak that was frayed at the ends showing signs of wear and tear. His name; Masao Kunishige and his face was hidden behind a black gas mask fashioned in the shape of a dimgrey skull. The cloak’s hood would conceal most of the appearance of the mask and would hide the fact that he wore bandages over any flesh that would otherwise have been exposed. The filter was not attached to the end but could be done so very easily due to the ends of both the filter and the mouthpiece of the mask having pressure based clips. The filter was actually located in a pocket on the inside of the cloak. The eyes of the mask are made of a clear and strong plastic that was reinforced from the inside that meant even if they were to be broken the plastic would shatter outwards rather than into his eyes. Behind the glass one would be able to see the piercing, blood hungry grey eyes of the Masao.

Underneath the cloak his athletic physique would be obvious but he would not unbutton the cloak till they were indoors. His arms in particular were unquestionably dense and well defined. This was made even more obvious by the wrapping of the bandages that covered his body head to toe excluding the hair and eyes regions on his head. On his hands in particular the bandaging was made denser due to his tendency to use his fists in combat. This would in no way hamper his hand movements as it was only enough extra padding to lessen the force against his hand when throwing a punch. Masao’s headband was wrapped tightly around his right arm positioned so that the symbol for Sand was facing outwards.

The man’s outfit was actually pretty standard issue for a chuunin though it would be immediately obvious that he had seen a lot of combat due to a number of factors. The ends of all of the items of clothing he wore were frayed. In particular the vest saw the most tattering as it also sported a number of burn marks which were the remnants of close encounters with fire users. Oddly enough the back part of the vest seemed to be void of any blood stains as the front was almost entirely covered in them hiding the light brown that the vest once was. The maroon colour directly the result of his actions and not as a result of his own wounds as there weren’t many to speak of. Certainly none of them were ever major as he always took a very cautious approach to combat. Under the vest a dark brown shirt was worn with the sleeves torn straight off at the shoulders. The same red was lightly splattered across the shirt due to the way he positions his body in combat. His pants were the exact same colour as his shirt and showed signs of wear as well. They also showed signs of poor sewing skills used to close holes in various places. On each foot was a dark black military boot that had the ends of the pants tucked neatly inside.

In the left pocket of his vest contained 2 blood clot and soldier pills. There are two katanas strapped to his belt one on either side allowing for quick draw techniques from whichever side he needed as he found himself to be ambidextrous with sword fighting. Attached at the back were his two gauntlets with the opening positioned upwards and on an angle for easy access. Each of these gauntlets had an attachment; the left contained an enhancement while the right contained a shock one. These were not active as to not kill him by merely wearing them. Masao’s cloak was lined with a total of nineteen kunai and also a wakizashi which was more than likely not going to be used whatsoever. In the cloak also contained a compass and a single multitool that were directly next to the filter for his gas mask.

Masao was pleased when his Kage finally located who they were looking for as running in this rain was not a smart idea especially when they were going to be going on a mission shortly. He knew he had to conserve his energy so he slowed his pace when the Kage began her descent toward the two and he came down with a single jump to the ground and into a position in which his body would be able to take the force of his weight. After landing he positioned himself in such a way that he was not in the way of who Amira was speaking to but he would be in between the two. This was to allow him to stop any attack that could potentially come towards her. Masao’s body language was clearly that of a guard and though they would not be able to see due to the large cloak he wore over the top of his body he had his hand firmly on his right sword with the blade drawn a single centimetre.

A

small pat on the head was the only indicator the bulette needed for him to realize that his master was prepared to join the group they had observed for a few minutes. So he dashed across the rooftop and jumped down to the ground a few meters down. The wet ground made the huge beast skid with his back-legs until he came to a stop close to the leader of the group. Zetsubô smelled the air by drawing in some air a few times before turning to look at the sand shinobis. Their smell was unfamiliar to him. Emi sat calmly on the head of the huge beast during the whole time, a small figure dressed in a long ANBU-like robe with the hood up, hiding all of the face but a pair of glowing navy-blue eyes. On his back there were a large crossbow with a scoop, a full magazine and a quiver containing 15 bolts. Their heads were boreworms, their shaft was a normal balanced one and the fletching was made to have the bolts rotate. On the young boy's left side, he had his great pride, the blade Frostbite. Since the kage hadn't received it before vanishing, Emi had decided that he himself would keep it. In his hands, Emi held a large umbrella over his head, both to cover himself from the rain but also to cover himself in shadows. Hidden from the plain sight of view, Emi had 7 slots worth of perfected kunais in his buttbag, all whom had the seal of his hiraishin on them. He also had the whole slot of crimson tears in his robe pocket along with 3 clot pills, a lock picking set and 2 soldier pills. Under his robe he had his full body corset on, something that he had intended to use immediately from the start, but as the scenario had changed and they would be on a head on assault, he just kept it just in case.

Tamiwara's head is mine, agreed?

He said with a quiet yet aggressive voice. The meeting between the two had been really frustrating for the young boy and he had all the intentions of devour the man's flesh as a compensation. It had been a long week for him and his loyalty had been dwindling lately, which made him eager to get going regardless of the orders of the woman. So he gave away a small whistle, making the huge beast to turn to face the building instead of the suna ninjas.

This civil war has been tearing this village apart for a decade, so how about we just end this right here, right now?

The words weren't aimed towards the amekage, but Turin Al-Sahar. The sand shinobis weren't along his list of allies and he still doubted the new village leader. "How was she even appointed" He thought as he swiftly looked at her before having his eyes going back to the building.

Earth Mastery
Rank: [B, A], S
Skill: Passive
Effect: Causes earth based techniques to develop a natural hardness, more so than what the standard ability would allow.
Special: ---
Drawback: This does not negate the natural effects of enemy attacks. Example: While a fire jutsu may not instantly destroy something created, it can still burn it.
Description: Earth Ninjutsu, typically, are based around defense. After much time and dedication, the user understands how to enhance these defensive capabilities even further, hardening their techniques to, at times, and ridiculous strengths. At B-rank, the users techniques harden to the point of iron, and are capable of withstanding a C-rank’s worth of damage before the damage begins to affect the technique. At A-rank, the techniques retain the hardness of steel, capable of withstanding a B-ranks worth of damage. At S-rank, the techniques become as hard as titanium, capable of withstanding an A-ranks worth of damage before they are affected as normal.
Limit: Earth Release. Once the user has gained 500 TP in Doton Ninjutsu, this skill is gained automatically. A rank is gained when 750 TP has been obtained, and S rank when 1000 TP has been gained.

Rank: D, [C](3), B, A
Skill: Ninjutsu, Passive.
Effect: Increases the number of creations that the user can create at once.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Increases the number of animals the user can create at once. The user can learn the D rank four times, the C rank three times, the B rank twice and the A rank once.

Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Clan Mastery
Effect: Allows the user the ability to perform water based techniques as if their chakra cost was reduced by one rank.
Special: Passive, automatically gained when the user obtains 500 TP within the Hoshigaki Clan.
Drawback: Even though the chakra cost has been reduced, the cost of movements and the time spent performing the techniques remain the same. Defensive techniques that require the user to expend the same amount of chakra in order to block a technique are unaffected by this mastery.
Description: There are few clans out there that can rival the Hoshigaki when it comes to their use of Water-based Ninjutsu. Because of their constant use, individuals of the clan have developed a keen sense of how much chakra is truly necessary to perform the technique and as such may perform water-based ninjutsu as if the chakra cost of the technique were actually one rank lower than the technique's actual cost. However, just because the user can perform the technique for less of a cost doesn't mean that it takes any less time to perform them.
Limit: Requires 500 TP within the Hoshigaki Clan.

Suichuu Binkatsu (Underwater Alacrity)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: Passive
Effect: Allows the user to move underwater just as well as they would above it.
Special: Passive ability that is always active.
Drawback: N/A
Description: The Hoshigaki Clan are very much used to fighting underwater; their whole fighting style is based upon flooding the field and then forcing the opponent to fight underwater, where the user will have the advantage. Because of their constant fighting underwater, they've learned how to move and manipulate their own bodies while submerged, making them terribly difficult opponents to match when they're in their element. This ability, once learned, allows the user to fight with grace and ease underwater, to the very point that it seems like they were fighting naturally above it.
Limit: Must have Same no Gishiki.

Kowai Shiryoku (Frightening Eyesight)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: Passive
Effect: Allows the user to have naturally enhanced eyesight in both the day and the night.
Special: Passive ability that is always active.
Drawback: As with all forms of enhanced senses, they are also more susceptible to their perspective weaknesses.
Description: Sharks have amazing eyesight. Since they often swim the depths of the ocean, where it is dark and what little light that comes through the water is distorted, their ability to perceive minor changes is particularly excellent. Members of the clan learn to mimic these enhanced perceptions, able to peer through the darkest of night as if it were noon and the ability to notice subtle changes like the fluttering of a specific leaf in the wind.
Limit: Must have Same no Gishiki.

Chi Kaori (Blood Scent)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: Passive
Effect: Allows the user to use their sense of smell to hunt down opponents who have been injured.
Special: The user must cut the opponent and allow them to bleed.
Drawback: Cannot tell differing scents apart.
Description: After injuring an opponent, the Hoshigaki will generally try to force an underwater fight by flooding the field or trapping someone with some other water-based techniques. However, that is not necessary, it just makes the hunt easier. The user is then capable of using their sense of smell to track the scent of the blood of the opponent, making it much more difficult to hide from them.
Limit: Must have Same no Gishiki.

Buttoi Jouhi (Thick Skin)
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.
Limit: Must have mastered Kentoushi by going into five hundred training points into it. Automatic after five hundred training points.

Damēji Heri (Damage Reduction)
Rank: ["D", "C", "B", "A", "S"]
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: This technique is similar to that of Roll With the Punches, except that this technique works on a stacking manner to Roll With the Punches, as well as it works against Blunt, Bludgeoning, and Solidified attacks. The user is capable of withstanding more then usual as their body becomes adaptable towards broad attacks, where the muscles harden making the Brawler durable.
Special: ---
Drawback: Does not work on Slashing, Piercing attacks, or attacks that are not solidified, that hits in a mass amount.
Description: When the user first learns this technique they are capable of only reducing the damage of techniques of Bludgeoning, Blunt, and Solidified Attacks of "D" Rank one rank below then its capability. 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.

Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The Brawler at this stage knows no fear. They embrace fear as if it is one of their own. They no longer truly fear what is in front of them or around them for when battle comes they charge forth with all of their might.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Fear is not the option. The user pushes themselves past their limitations as they are not afraid no more. They are not afraid of being broken, of being threatened, of others being threatened. They live for the moment as nothing phases them. The Brawler becomes fearless, their moral does not go down. As soon as a user learns this, nothing can stand in their way of objective. If a person is "S" Class, or "D" Class it does not matter to the Brawler, if they feel that they can win, they will push forward without hesitation. Because of this technique, because of the fact that Brawlers become fearless, the effect of Fearful GenJutsus does not work against those of the Brawler class. Reasons why is because how can you place fear upon the fearless.
Limit: Must know Chouba (Taunt), Must have at least two Hundred Training Points before going into.

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense)

Soldier Pill x 2
Location: Every Region
Preparation: Ingredient include: Ginseng, Gariig. First you will need to take the Gariig found only in desert regions and ground it up with a mortar and pestle. After it has become fine sand like substance, you will need to set up a bowl where you will then place the Ginseng leaf in. After grinding the ginseng up and mixing it with the ground Gariig, you will need to make the two into a pill. To do this you just mix the powders in water then let them dry molding it into a ball/pill like shape.
Special: Can be made by finding things in nature based off of the ingredients rarity, or found within any medical item shop.
Description: Soldier pills are used to increase stamina as well as chakra, but have the downside of once they wear off (after about 3 days) the user will suffer from severe fatigue and anxiety (probably due to the fact that soldier pills are like supercharged speed). Essentially, after taking a soldier pill, whatever chakra/stamina you have remaining is doubled. It does not increase your chakra/stamina past its maximum, and if you take one when you have full endurance it will actually negatively affect you by giving you a mild seizure. For example: you have 40% chakra left, after taking this pill it increases to 80% left.
Drawback: the effects of the pill will wear off after the thread it was used in is over, or 3 travel days, at which point you will suffer from anxiety and fatigue. The fatigue will make it so all of your movement abilities are halved and you will not be able to perform any techniques equal to or higher then your class level. The fatigued effect will wear off after 10 IC posts. If you take a pill when you have full chakra/stamina, then you will suffer from a mild seizure because the excessive hormones within your body will cause an odd overload in some of your systems which will cause a type of shockwave to your brain. The seizure will incapacitate you for 5 posts, and you will still suffer the fatigue drawback caused by taking the pill normally.
Cost: 3,000 each

[Yoshi [Lynx!]]

They were arriving at the scene, one by one. At first she had been assuring Molokai that multiple others would show up and that they were just the early ones to rise and shine. Then, much to the girls relief, came the small detachment of shinobi from Sunagakure. Bowing softly and nodding her head as Amira approached, she looked to the two others with quick glances. It seemed that competent people had been brought along. That was highly fortunate. There were other circumstances that weren't quite so fortunate however.

"Welcome, Lady Kazekage. I'm glad to see you made it here with such short notice, and that you all made it here safely. I was worried they might've tried to stop you at the gates. Your help will be monumental in reclaiming Amegakure." Yoshi replied in a warm tone, greeting Amira with the same kind of calmness and warmness that she herself had been met with. "I will explain quick, as time is precious." Turning around so that she could gesture towards the abandonned building behind her, the girl would begin her explanation.

"What you see before you is the Crimson Prison. Within the kitchen area, you will find a staircase that leads underground. It is in this underground facility that all the worst villains of Amegakure have been imprisoned for generations. Each level of the prison corresponds to the danger of the inmates. The further down you go, the more dangerous it might become." Pinching a paper to the wall, the girl was explaining the drawing. It was  rather well made, yet clearly something that she herself had just whipped up in an attempt to make the explanation go over smoother.

"The Amegakure elders are attempting to summon something into this world. Something that they claim would have the power to bring an entire nation to its knees. I fear that the first nation at the knees of such power, would be ours. The only one we can get to who has the answers is Tamiwara. At the bottom of the Crimson Prison is a final level. It is where our ANBU meet and train. It is where they are sent onto missions, and it is where Tamiwara is being kept, safe from our grasp. Additionally, several key figures of Amegakure have been wrongfully imprisoned within." Sighing softly, she turned to look at each of the shinobi that had shown up. They were a small splinter cell of competent people. If they could not make their way through the prison before it was too late, noone that Yoshi could contact would be able to.

"The mission is clear. We're raiding the prison and reclaiming Tamiwara. Kill him if neccesary, we have ways to interrogate his spirit. Additionally, the hostages taken by the elders must be freed. The prisoners we're especially interested in are Harrar, Rin and Eydis - the Jounin commander." Holding a hand against her lips, Yoshi coughed deeply, shivers going through her entire body. The more she stood there, the more pale she seemed. Looking to Turin, she shook her head from side to side. The girl seemed so much weaker than she had been any other time he had laid eyes on her.
"I'm going to have to ask a favor of you, Turin. I came here, in the hopes that I could see this through... but the birth of my twins.. I can hardly move without feeling pain, let alone stress my body. For this mission, I will rely on you to take the reigns. Emi, you will be second in command. I know you desire to eliminate the enemies of the village and end this war, but do listen to Turin's command. In the meantime, I will prepare a radio broadcast from the centre of the village. Acquire any evidence, interrogate Rin or Harrar, then contact me. The whole village will know of any truth you uncover. Please, I'm counting on all of you."

Handing a small note to Turin with a radio frequency, she gestured for him to crumble it up and destroy it. If there were someone listening in, they surely didn't want any interferrence on the radio signal. With that, the orders were given and hierachy established. It hurt for her to admit, but in her current condition, she would be more of a hindrance than a help to them. It felt wrong relying on the help of another village, but the alternative was far worse. Waiting around for any questions the group might have, she would be answering them to the best of her ability. Afterwards, she would unlock the gate to the asylum, so that they could enter at their own discression. From here on out, things were about to get very, very serious...

[Molokai]

A nearby splash snapped Turin's eyes open. Reflexively, he stepped back from the girl who had appeared, unconsciously moving himself out of arm's reach. She was dressed in all tan and was trying to keep her face hidden with a wide-brimmed hat, while around her neck hung a Sunagakure headband. A Sand ninja? Turin wondered as the small girl greeted Yoshi as if they were old friends, Is she supposed to be our backup? Suddenly, his muscles tensed and his finger found the trigger of his crossbow as two more shinobi splashed down beside her. Her companions each carried swords and wore black cloaks, while one of them carried a gourd similar to Yoshi's. Immediately, the defensive posture that the taller one displayed set Turin on edge.

From the shadows, another arrived astride a massive, four-legged shark beast. From atop his monster, the fourth ninja announced in an unnatural voice that he wanted to claim Tamiwara's head. Only if you get to him first, Turin thought as he studied his face. The umbrella would have hid his face in darkness but for Turin's dark vision, and beneath the black veil his features seemed very young, and very similar to the beast he rode. "I couldn't agree more," he said solemnly to the boy's declaration.

With the gang all gathered, Turin listen to Yoshi's briefing. The Kazekage? he wondered to himself, how did she get involved in this? Yoshi's cough, and the mention of giving birth to twins, caught him by surprise. The times he had seen her she never once looked pregnant, so he wondered how in all the world she had hidden it. The cough wasn't an ordinary cough, either. Turin could see, even with his colorless dark vision, the hollows in her cheeks and the dark circles under her eyes. She was sick, but still she was there to see through what needed to be done.

Placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder, he accepted the paper and said gently, "Don't worry, Yoshi. We'll get it done." As she left, he memorized the frequency then swallowed the paper. Once she was gone, he turned to the group and put on his game face. "Alright," he said in his official voice, "here's the plan: We're going to kick down the front door and kill anyone who tries to stop us. Any questions?"

Assuming there were none, he would continue, "From this point on, everybody who isn't in this circle is presumed hostile and dealt with accordingly. This is a big place. Once we get inside, it's almost guaranteed that we'll get separated. If that happens, maintain radio contact. At no point should it be a mystery what the rest of the team is doing. If anybody doesn't have a radio, I have one spare. If you don't have one, make sure you stay close to someone who does. And one last thing; remember your objectives. We're here to both weaken Tamiwara's forces, and to find a way to stop his summoning. If you have an opportunity to interrogate someone before you kill them, take it, but we don't have time for prisoners, clear?"

If there were any questions, he would take the time to answer them. However, once everyone nodded or gave some sort of indication that they were ready, Turin would offer his spare radio to whoever didn't have one of their own. After it was taken, he would bark, "Move out!" and start heading toward the front entrance at a crouch. Keeping his eyes peeled for traps and his thermal scope pointed at the building, he was ready to react at the first sign of movement. At the front door, he would pause and wait for everyone to catch up before beginning the breach. Hopefully, nothing would happen during the simple crossing of the field, but it wouldn't hurt to be careful.

[Tetsu]

The steady fall of the rain mingled in with Yoshi's words as she addressed the team that had been assembled, Amira did her best to look over the fellow who has backed from her like she had the plague. He appeared simple enough, but seemed to have an air of unease about him. Amira was shocked at how little support Yoshi had been able to muster in her own ranks when Amira suddenly noticed a young man charging in upon some sort of four legged shark. "Holy shit that's cool..." She muttered quietly with a straight face as the young man approached, carrying a very cocky tone. Yoshi seemed pleased with the assembly, but suddenly began to display signs of illness.

Amira instinctively reached her hand out from under her cloak and softly wrapped it into Yoshi's. "We will do our best to liberate your people, you have my word." Amira said determinately as she gave Yoshi's hand a little squeeze before releasing it. "Please, just go get some rest," Amira prompted before turning around to face the fellow who Yoshi had dictated as the leader. He began to go and describe their very, um, upfront tactic as Amira quickly realized that this was going to be a pretty big fight. Soon after that, the fellow offered a communications device, which Amira decided to accept, since she lacked one. She knew Isamu had one so she wasn't worried about all of that. Hopefully things would go smoothly...yet, track record was not on their side.

As they began to deploy, Amira looked back at Yoshi once more before following the fellow. "Tell Ryosuke I said hi," She said to her friend and colleague as she quickly followed the commands given. She quickly drew her binoculars as they began to cross a field, which was probably booby trapped or something. "Isamu, Masao, stick close to me alright?" she said as she utilized her binoculars to scan for traps and or any possible enemies that may or not be in the field. Hopefully their crossing would be successful. Sunagakure was now at the ready for the command to do whatever it was that they needed to do.

[Christoff]

As Isamu listened to the Amekage explain their plight it became clear that this was not a peaceful mission they were walking into a full blown internal power struggle. Looking at the two Amegakure Shinobi he wondered if the Kazekage was backing the right side. If the Amekage could only trust two shinobi was she strong enough to be worth backing? Isamu supposed the decision was moot at this point. Sunagakure had played her hand and now she needed to ensure that it was her allies who triumphed. Besides it was improper of him to question the judgement of the Kazekage, she spoke for the village and her word was final.

The two ninja from Amegakure both seemed competent, indeed the one who's eyes glowed like blue flames struck Isamu as particularly dangerous even without his giant beast. The Genin's only concern was that both of the shinobi wielded crossbows. He doubted how useful the weapons would be in close quarter combat and hoped they were prepared for what was to come. Maybe the ANBU inside would be taken by surprise but Isamu doubted it would be for long, if this wasn't accomplished quickly then they could be overwhelmed by numbers.

The prisoners could provide valuable and additional numbers if they were in a condition to fight, but that was a big if. The Sadojin also pondered how they would react if the Sunagakure squad found them first. He suspected it could be a sticky situation. Isamu turned his thoughts to the plan of attack. Turin seemed to value flexibility over a set strategy. With such a small force Isamu thought that was wise. When the force fragmented it would create confusion and opportunities for them to exploit. They all had their goal... find the elder, free the prisoners, stop the summoning. That would be enough to guide their actions once they were through the door.

The Kazekage asked Masao and Isamu to stick close. Isamu waited for her to finish before responding with a small smile, "Of course my lady. I'll take point, I can spare a few limbs after all." After Amira was done surveying the scene Isamu started out two meters ahead of her. The sand in Isamu's gourd stirred gently as he activated his sand shield. It would serve as an extra layer of protection if he triggered any traps. As Isamu crossed the ground to the entrance he cast his eyes over the field watching for freshly turned earth or a sheen of light from a tripwire which could indicate a trap. He also looked over the building watching for a glint that might indicate a surveillance lens.

[❥ cannibble]

ooc: Just letting you know Molokai that you wouldn't have been able to see his arms or swords I said that in the post. The cloak is large to completely hide everything underneath. Also Isamu is actually taller than Masao just fyi~

Masao took in the view of the blue eyed person making their entrance. He wondered why anyone would make such a grand entrance as doing so it made him seem reckless in nature and in turn unreliable in the eyes of Masao. He could tell that the creature was some species of Bullette because of their common appearance when travelling in Wind Country. This one did not have the usual yellow appearance that the desert dwelling ones had. He noticed that alongside the other Amegakure Shinobi also carried with him a crossbow as well. His opinion on the use of crossbows was much the same as Isamu's. He didn't understand why anyone would willingly use one in an enclosed environment.

The man's concerns only grew further when the person riding upon the Bullette made an outburst out of anger. "Letting anger get the best of you before going into a mission, how pathetic." Masao's body would not turn in order to defend his kage from this particular individual as he did not seem him as a threat on any level. His concerns washed out from him entirely as the Amekage continued talking. She spoke of danger and people who was allowed to kill. The idea that anyone would be left alive long enough in Masao's presence to be interrogated was foolish. The mere sight of blood would put Masao into a killing frenzy and any friend could very easily become a foe if he wanted to continue to be bathed in blood.

At this point Masao had lowered his entirely back into its scabbard allowing it to lock back into place. A visible shaking could be seen from under the cloak. It was caused by the mere mention of getting to kill someone, an intoxicating high was beginning to wash over Masao and his fists were clenched so tightly together that they shook in anticipation. By this point he no longer cared for the lives of anyone near him and wanted to get this talking over and done with as soon as possible. The cloaked man would say and do nothing as the Amekage left leaving Turin to run things. His attention was lost until once more killing was brought up, his pulse quickened and he spoke in response. “The best kinds of plans involve killing everyone in your way.” His voice would come out dark and menacing; not on purpose but as a result of the feelings stirring deep inside at the given time.

Masao did not have a radio as one was almost always provided for him on the site of a job and he usually lost any belongings that did not have a purpose for killing an individual on a mission. His hand would outstretch parting the front of the cloak momentarily to Turin showing the blood covered, tattered clothing enclosed. “Give me one.” It would be visible as his hand extended that shaking was as a result of his hands. Masao hoped the man didn’t catch on that his bloodlust was going to take over at any moment as it was taking the entirety of his willpower to not give in right now.

One last time Masao’s attention was caught by one of the ninja in his presence. This time it was the kid he told to be quiet. The idea that he had a few limbs to spare made him wonder however temporarily, it wasn’t that he was wondering how he had a few limbs to spare but rather how might he destroy those said limbs. The man with the bandages would no longer be waiting for the other Ninja and began to make his way towards the prison provided he got the radio from Turin. His pace would begin slowly at first but if he were to be followed by the others he would break into a full sprint to get into the combat as soon as he possibly could shouting out in a truly aggressive manner; “I finally get to kill some motherfuckers!” All that caution and distrust that he showed before was gone replaced only with the desire to inflict pain on others. It was ironic; he thought less of the man riding the land shark when he showed himself succumbing to emotion but here he was doing the exact same.

[~Emi~]

Moving out

W

hen the woman in their presence began the meeting with greeting a kazekage, Emi turned his head towards the trio with suna ninjas. It was quite obvious which one was the leading character in the group so his eyes analyzed the figure before quietly sighing for himself. During his time as the previous kage's personal guard, he had heard some interesting stories about the mighty male kazekage. Even though he still had no idea if they were true, the disappointment that he was either replaced or hadn't even existed was real. The young boy had been looking forward to see those strong leaders he had heard so much about for such a long time, especially when his own village had been lead by so many frauds. Despite his sudden drop of respect for the kazekage, he nodded as a greeting, late yet necessary.

The information followed was a fairly common briefing so Emi barely listened. What surprised him though was that she wouldn't be a part of it and the kazekage wouldn't be leading the mission. She had been looking quite bad, but the fact that she had replaced the physical capable Suke would indicate that she would fit better for the task? And the disrespect from calling in a village leader and forcing it to be inferior to a chunin, that was quite interesting. Emi looked carefully on the Kazekage to see if there were any indications of being offended, but none appeared to exist. As he briefly thought of the scenario, he realized that there probably was some kind of alternative motive behind the assistance from sunagakure, did they intent to form a new alliance with harsher terms for amegakure? He didn't know, but he suspected that he would need to stay on his toes in the near future, keeping an eye for unfair deals.

So? just head on then? Guess I'll take the lead on this, so hold on to this for me, won't you.

Emi slid down on Zetsubô's nose and down to the ground as he removed the crossbow and quiver from his back before handing them over to Turin. As they weighed quite a little for a ninja, he doubted it would be any troubles for the man to have them in case his own were broken or lost, or even instead of his own as the crossbow was made with great precision and knowledge. When he was relieved from the weight on his back, he firmly stood on the stone street and formed the serpent seal. While he did, his body began to absorb the properties of the stone found in the ground beneath him. A small shimmering tone of his skin was the only visible effect of the technique but Emi knew it would make a much bigger difference than that. When it was ready he immediately performed some more seals, which had mud from the surrounding area to merge into a group of rhinos. Their bodies were as tough as iron but their size was a little smaller than normal rhinos.

I have been in the prison before, so follow me if you want the short route.

He said as he dashed in front with his rhinos forming an arrow right ahead of himself with one of them taking the rear. Zetsubô would stay inside the triangle along with the other ninjas, because even though he would never confirm it, he loved his friend more than anything else and would never allow him to die. 

Emi had his umbrella at the ready for any possible sneaky attacks and traps, but his eyes and focus was on the door, his aim was to crush it completely and just trample down everything in their path. 

OOC: You actually need to use disguise to hide a sword on yourself, and how do you even get "He said with a quiet yet aggressive voice" to an outburst?

(OOC: Yo what up guys, I'm taking over now. A post will be up by the end of the day.)

Emi Die roll = failed will save, suffering from the effects of severe nightmares.

[JiMmIyZ - Hel]

The Crimson Prison. It lived up to it's name sake, the place reeked of blood to the point it could be smelt a hundred meters away downwind. This place housed many a horror, many an insane criminal, and many dark secrets. One of, if not the, most secure facilities in the entire Land of Rain any who dared to illegally trespass here were captured and thrown in the one of the not so vacant cells. Patrolled by the ANBU constantly, tonight was by far one of the more active nights to be sure, it was proven by the faint, pained screams of the capture inmates that seemed to echo all the way to the entrance from the inner most depths of this hell. The group of freedom fighters would be free to enter this place via the front door of the mental asylum, where they were currently positioned. From here they would be free to head down through the maze of decrepit halls and eventually make their way down toward the basement and therefore the entryway into the cave.

This cave was there entryway into the Blood Prison that belonged to Amegakure, a place of agony and death. As they'd take their first steps into the basement they'd hear a loud scream that echoed through the darkness of the cavern, rebounding off the walls and replaying over and over until it dropped to a ghastly dead silence so quiet the rebels could hear there own heartbeats over their frozen breaths. To this point they had been lucky, there had been no one to stop the Suna shinobi at the village gates, there had been no one to stop the group from entering the asylum, but from here out it could be construed that there would no longer be anymore luck. As soon as they ventured through that cave, the fight would begin.

(OOC: Eh, first post is a little sketchy. Here's a few things I need you to remember throughout the event.

1. Post all your checks/will saves etc when you make them
2. Post all your techniques related to said save/check, if you don't I won't count them
3. Post your attacks, this ones more a nice thing for me
4. I'll leave easter eggs throughout the event (I do with all my events and stuffs), first one to point them out to me via PM gets a reward.
5. I'm here to kill you all, be wary of even the simplest things as I'm a crafty bugger at times
6. I'll make more notes as we go, also give me a break if I've messed something up in that post, it's unsual for me to start an event like this :S

[Molokai]

The Kazegake was first to accept Turin's spare headset, which suited him just fine. Judging by the attitudes of the other two Suna shinobi, her presence was a blessing. Being in direct contact with her would hopefully reduce the possibility of dissension in the ranks. She pulled a pair of binoculars as she told her team to stick close to her. Good, Turin thought, Team Sand is going to be sticking together. Ideally, this would mean that the assault team could divide into two operational units if it became necessary.

Shortly after this the quiet Sand ninja, who upon closer inspection proved to be the taller of the two, mentioned something about having limbs to spare, which Turin took to imply a healing ability of some sort. It was the other one whom Turin was concerned about, though. Turin had flagged that one from the moment he arrived, and the fact that he had started shaking wasn't lost on the sharp-eyed marksman. The quivering Sand ninja's reproach of Emi hadn't gone unnoticed either, nor had the comment about the best plans being about killing, but they were allowed to slide due to the more pressing matters at hand. Briefly, the large black cloak parted as the well-muscled Sand ninja offered a trembling hand, and beneath Turin could see the unkempt threads that served as clothes. "Sorry," Turin responded to his request for the spare headset, "fresh out. Stick close to your Kage, she's got the other one."

It was at this point that Emi himself slid down the nose of his shark-beast and approached Turin, offering the crossbow and quiver he had been carrying on his back. Unfortunately, Turin didn't have the time to fully examine the crossbow, but he did a cursory inspection while Emi was preparing his ninjutsu. It was much more technologically advanced than Turin's own, shorter and more compact though slightly heavier. It had gears and pulleys resembling a compound bow, as well as a scope and a magazine of bolts, and altogether looked wonderfully well-made. However, it wasn't a type of crossbow that Turin was familiar with, so he didn't know if he could reload it as fluidly as he could his own. For this reason, he stowed it on his back and kept his rifle crossbow in hand. By the time he had finished giving it the once-over, Emi had created a host of earthen rhinos, ready to charge. The marksman quickly slung the quiver over his shoulder, joining the bolts within to his own supply.

Once everyone was ready, Turin gave the order to move out. Then, the charge. Emi's stone stampede rushed the field and careened toward the front door, overtaking the team and easily smashing through the facade of the building. It was useful that Emi claimed to know the place, and for that reason Turin let him take point. Instead of taking the lead like he had planned, Turin himself hung back once he saw the zeal and gusto with which the team rushed the entrance, playing to his strength by not running into melee range.

When not a single trap went off or guard was spotted, Turin couldn't say that he was surprised. For a location that was meant to be secret, having armed guards posted out front was one of the quickest way to spoil that secret. With nothing to stop them, Emi's rhinos would smash unhindered through the front entrance. While the dust settled, Turin kept his thermal scope scanning the upstairs windows while he waited for his team to enter the building. He had no intention of leading from behind, but he knew that utilizing his range would suit them all better. Once everyone was inside, the marksman would watch his team's backs as they moved through the empty building.

Yoshi's directions would prove accurate, and within no time the team would find the entrance. The sour coppery smell of dried blood and fresh death assailed his nose as he approached the basement. Whatever was beyond that door, it was going to be a rough time for all. A scream echoed up through the cavern, reverberating so that the walls themselves seemed to be wailing in agony. His grip tightened on his crossbow as he listened to the silence after the scream, and he steadied his breath to slow his heart rate. With a hand gesture, he signaled his team to move forward and would follow once they had all entered. Once they crossed that threshold, there would be no turning back.

SPOILER: Click to show

Pristine Crossbow, Compound: 200 lb. Draw +75% range increment +2 defense against destruction
Rank: "S"
Type: Main, Marksman, Crossbow, Compound
Effect: A crossbow with mechanical aids to help with speed of the projectile while reducing range.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The compound crossbow is a more recent evolution of crossbow. Again, resembling a compound bow, it can have either split or single limbs and also uses a cam system. The compound crossbow is generally heavier than the recurve, however its limbs are much shorter, which hunters find useful when using their crossbow in tree-stands or blinds where space is at a premium. This crossbow increases the projectile by 10 mp/s beyond the normal draw when firing. These crossbows may be used and reloaded in Mounted Combat. The Range Increment of this Crossbow is 25 meters.
Limit: These types of items may be bought inside any Hunting Shop.
Cost: 540,000 Ryo

Ultima
Rank: "S"
Type: Secondary, 0 per Slot, Gadget, Mechanical, Weapon Enhancement
Effect: An internal modification that increases Base Range Increment of a Crossbow.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Similar to, but more extensive than an Optima modification. The Ultima is a difficult craft work commonly performed on a crossbow. Only a Compound and Recurve Crossbow can be effectively modified this way: Pistol Crossbows are too small to incorporate the parts; and the Rifle Crossbows cannot be further strengthened. Excellent craftsmanship, a wide stiff bow, and exact tolerance of the bolt rail allow a greater effective range than a Compound and Recurve Crossbow increasing the Base Range Increment by 50%. Cannot be used with an Optima.
Limit: These items may be bought inside any Gadget Shop.
Cost: 50,000 Ryo Each

Basic Crossbow Magazine (Medium) (Overview)

Limit: These types of items may be bought inside any Hunting Shop.
Cost: 900 Ryo

Crossbow Scope x1
Rank: "C"
Type: Secondary, 2 per Slot, Gadget, Surveillance, Spectacles
Effect: A telescope mounted on a Crossbow, etc, used for sighting
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A scope is a modified non-refracting telescope used to magnify the images of distant objects by passing light through a series of lenses and sometimes prisms; the use of prisms results in a lightweight telescope. If a Monocular has a zoom of 5 it brings objects 5 times closer through vision. The basic vision before adding a Zooming Vision capability is 5. When adding the basic Zooming Vision, it will bring it up to 10. Monocular has enough carrying capacity for 4 types of Surveillance Vision. Does not fit in Scroll size Slots.
Limit: These items may be bought inside any Gadget Shop.
Cost: 3,000 Ryo per Slot, or 1,500 Ryo Each

Zooming Vision x5 zoom
Rank: "C", "B", "A", "S"
Type: Secondary, 0 per Slot, Gadget, Surveillance, Vision
Effect:A vision consisting of a series of lenses and prisms, used to magnify objects so that they can be better seen from a distance.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A vision that is mechanical assembly of lens elements for which the focal length can be varied, as opposed to a fixed focal length. Zoom lenses are often described by the ratio of their longest to shortest focal lengths. Each Zooming lenses it brings it that much closer. If a Zooming Vision is a 5 it brings objects 5 times closer through vision. The basic vision before adding extra zooming capability is 5. Adding extra zooming costs 1,000 Ryo. When total of Zooming is 3,000 Ryo it becomes a "B" Rank item. When item costs 7,000 Ryo then it becomes an "A" Rank item. When item costs 12,000 Ryo or more than it becomes an "S" Rank item.
Limit: These items may be bought inside any Gadget Shop.
Cost: 1,000 Ryo Each + 1,000 Ryo per extra Zoom

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This vision allows the user to see and measure the condition of humans and animals. It gives a reading of the heart rate, and the status of their condition which are, "Calm, Cautious, Terrified, Unconscious, and Deceased." These notations are readable for the user. This vision may co exist with the X-Ray Vision allowing the user to take note of a person's condition through a wall.
Limit: These items may be bought inside any Gadget Shop.
Cost: 9,000 Ryo Each

"Oh brother..." Amira sighed as Masao abandoned all reason other then killing their enemies to go charging off towards the prison. "That guy..." She muttered quietly before signing for Isamu to follow her at her pace. She knew the fellow understood some sign language from their previous encounter in the land of wind. Simply placing her binoculars back into her butt bag, Amira followed suit towards the prison was a sense of caution.

"I wonder how we've made it this far Isamu." Amira said quietly as they crossed the field in the same paths set by the previous people so that they crossed the field without setting off any traps. This whole operation seemed a bit easy. in fact it was starting off well, a little too well when it came to infiltrating AnBu prison facilities. She herself had done so with her own village when she had helped blow up the old AnBu headquarters. That however was not the same situation, seeing as she wasn't instantly viewed as a threat. Here they were enemies...and would be handled and addressed accordingly. "Because I don't like the feeling of this." Amira finished as they finally crossed the field. [Doing a sense motive check here for any suspicious hunches ]

As they reached the entrance, the fellow who had been allocated as the team leader was hanging back and letting everyone else enter first. Amira sighed as she tipped her hat to him before entering the prison like prison. The strong smell of blood and the feint screams of the damned painted the scene as the kazekage entered the God awful place. Amira was glad that her team would be ending things here as they all advanced into the prison so that the real danger of the mission could begin.

_______________________________________
Sense Motive
Rank: "E"
Skill: Skill
Effect: User is skilled at detecting falsehoods and true intentions.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A successful check lets the user avoid from being bluffed or lied to (see the Acting Skill). The user can also use this skill to determine when "something is up" (that is, something odd is going on) or access someone's trustworthiness.
Hunch: This use of the skill involves making a gut assessment of the social situation. The user can get the feeling from another's behavior that something is wrong, such as when they are talking to an imposter. Alternatively, the user can get the feeling that someone is trustworthy. Very Difficult Difficulty.
Sense Enchantment: User can tell that someone's behavior is being influenced by an Enchantment effect even if that person is not aware of it. The usual check is Very Difficult, but if the target is dominated, the check is Difficult because of the limited range of the target's activities.
Discern Secret Message: The user may use Sense Motive to detect a hidden message transmitted by Acting. In this case the Check is opposed by the Acting check. For each piece of information relating to the message the user is missing takes a -10 penalty to the check. If the success is by 20 or less, the user knows that something hidden is being communicated, but cannot learn anything specific. If the check is beaten by 25 or more, the user intercepts and understands the message. If the check is failed by 20 or less, the user does not detect anything. If the fail is by 25 or more, they might infer false information.
Cannot roll multiple times except for each Acting check made against the user. Each time learned user gets 1 die roll to increase the skill.

Effect: A language of indicated by the patterns formed by the hands and fingers without the usage of the mouth.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Initially developed as a series of quick signals and commands for use by military bands sneaking through enemy territory, the system of signs has developed into a complex language all its own. Though it is not as varied or expressive as most spoken languages, it is capable of conveying a surprising array of complex concepts in a relatively short time. The meaning of a word is indicated by the patterns formed by the hands and fingers. Tense and subject/object links are conveyed through the precise angle of the hands from the "speaker," and emphasis and emotion are conveyed through facial expression and body language. Each time learned user gets 5 die roll to increase the skill.

The transformation of Masao unnerved Isamu. The Genin felt there was something deeply disturbed about that man and he was suddenly glad that he had not provoked the Chuunin any further on their travels. Isamu caught the Kazekage's signs and signed back an affirmative answer. He would stay very close to her. Sticking together in the impending chaos would give them a distinct advantage over the prison's defenders as they scrambled to react. The Amegakure ninja with blue eyes had created a formation of earthen beasts to form the tip of their spear and they seemed to do the job though Isamu would have liked to avoid drawing attention so soon in their infiltration.

As soon as they entered the building Isamu shed his rain cloak by swinging his gourd to one shoulder, freeing the other arm, and then switching it to the other shoulder. It was difficult but he was able to do so on the move and left the rain cloak crumpled on the ground behind him. If he couldn't find it again he would need a new one for return trip. Perhaps an ANBU cloak as a souvenier. It was a morbid thought and it surprised Isamu. His life certainly had been taking a darker turn.

As the team wound their way through the halls of the mental hospital it became clear that this place had seen a great deal of darkness. The stains and smell of blood did not bother Isamu as much as he thought they would. These were normal human things and he didn't have the years of memories and experiences with human blood that formed the foundation for visceral reactions to blood. The ooze that seeped from the Sadojin heart had a different smell and was very rarely exposed. Isamu had also rarely experienced physical pain in his life usually it was only felt when the heart stone was jostled. Isamu's best idea of what the pain that had been caused here felt like came from books he had read and the exercise of empathy. No matter how hard he tried this would always be something that was removed from his experience.

The scream shattered Isamu's pondering of pain and blood. This was not a philosophical exercise, this was real. The battle against detachment was something that Sadojin struggled with and often succumbed to. There were so many common experiences with humans that they lacked and it was all too easy to leave the standard human culture. That could be a fatal flaw for a shinobi sworn to protect the village and all of its cultures. As Isamu followed close on the Kazekage's heels one thing seemed very clear, blood and sand would soon be mixed.

Masao was a little annoyed that the man had offered a radio only to turn him down when he asked. He wasn't paying enough attention to Molokai to notice if he had actually given out the radio he offered or not and in actuality he didn't care at this point. As soon as it was revealed that he was not getting a radio Masao would instantly return his hand back into his cloak and begin to walk past the man. Due to the slow pace at which he walked the rhinoceroses would form just in front of where he was luckily not behind him. He was lucky because if a single rhino came close to Masao he would have been triggered into his bloodthirsty rage and the original caster of the technique would have been immediately targeted.

As they approached it was revealed that there was an entry way through a cave. The group followed into this cave and Masao sticking directly behind the mud creations was ready for combat. The second they would be inside of the cave Masao would begin to channel his soul. In doing so the man would begin to split his soul into two separate beings effectively creating another version of him within seconds. After channelling momentarily the effect would come into play almost instantly. As if torn in two different directions another Masao formed from the original completely identical in every way. The clone would hold up its hand as if to say hello. Masao would then say something that he was sure would surprise all of the members of their current party. ”If you all gather around me I can give a divine protection to us all. I’m not going to ask twice.”

He wasn’t lying and in fact he knew he wasn’t a good liar or trickster. Everything he did was done without any form of tomfoolery. He never tried to trick his opponent with cheap tricks or outright lies rather he found it more enjoyable to destroy them with his quick wits on the battlefield. If anyone attempted to discern if he was lying or not they would easily come to the conclusion that he was not nor did he have any intention to. The original and the clone would find it laughable for anyone to turn down their offer and would do so wholeheartedly provided someone did. There was a number of techniques they still needed to use but unfortunately due to the lack of training Masao had with chakra manipulation the speed at which he could form handseals was quite limited.

ooc: @ emi: Seeing as we're all allies and it was going to be revealed within a single post I didn't see it as necessary to roll checks. It can completely ruin immersion if rolls don't reflect the actuality of a scenario. I mean I'm wearing a huge cloak and you're suggesting that Molokai can see directly through the material that's closed over? I wasn't stating that masao was even attempting to hide his stance merely that the stance was adopted if this is what you're talking about.

Outburst: a sudden release of strong emotion. Your character showed a distinct hatred for a person and had no qualms about showing your character succumbing to said emotion. So yeah, regardless of the volume an outburst is an outburst. It was sudden because your character basically said it with virtually no reason to. You're willingly giving us information on your character IC when you're supposed to be a ninja so yeah; Masao doesn't trust Emi. Sorry if this came off as rude wasn’t meant to.

Also I need to do these damn buffs! Want my +39 to gen saves! :C

Into the lions den

T

he first entrance they hit on their path down to the prison was less dangerous than he had expected. Dust and some wooden boards were flying around them, but nothing lethal. His steps had hesitated a little right after the impact of the outer wall as he was prepared for hostile attacks, so he noticed that the other ninjas almost caught up to him. But before they did he dashed away into the direction of the descent to the prison. On their way he kept his alert nerves and felt that he was almost hoping to be attacked. It was however calmer than they had been expecting, so when they reached the second door without meeting any hostiles Emi stopped for a brief moment and opened up his inner eye. It would reach far into the prison, so if any ambush was prepared anywhere in either of the building, he would surely notice it. His focus wandered around the area and quickly took note of the different auras he found and alerted the others if any of them were awaiting them or moving towards them.

Surprised of the sudden appearance of a new aura appearing in the middle of the ninja group made him release his jutsu and opening his eyes while facing the direction of the aura. He did not realize that the aura he had seen had been identical to one of the sand shinobis until he saw with his awaken eyes that there were two. "Kage bunshin?" He thought as he remembered the auras appearance. It did however not matter as the rhinos didn't stop and was charging towards the entrance into the prison with full intent of blasting through any obstacle. So Emi ran after them with his umbrella held high to shield himself from possible attacks. One of the two identical beings said something that really caught his attention as they were about to enter the prison, he had some divine power. "Maybe he's a genuine follower of the path of ascension as myself?". Curious of the claim yet eager to see both his and the others strengths against the whole elite stronghold he drew Frostbite with his left arm and lowered his head behind the metal umbrella.

Description: This technique allows the user to sense the various fluctuations in the chakra around them. These fluctuations will allow the user to identify that a genjutsu is in play. The user is able to use this technique with the same distance chart as Mind’s Eye of the Kagura. The user need not be affected by the illusion to see it, meaning they can see if another person is under the effect of a Genjutsu as well as themselves. Also note that the user can only sense Genjutsu of the same rank of this technique. Meaning D rank Illusion Sensing can detect D rank Genjutsu and so on and so forth.
Limit: Must be a Sensor.

[JiMmIyZ - Hel]

The young Ame shinobi, Emi, seemed to be the only one working on progressing through to this prison as he was the only one checking ahead and not comparing their dick sizes with the empowered Turin. Trust was an issue in this unit, Sand and Rain were not yet allies on anything but paper though they seemed to be at least appearing to try to get along. The Daemon Shark of Rain's sensor abilities would allow him to get a grasp of just how grave his situation was as he would manage to pick up dozens of signatures toward the edge of his spiritual vision, some powerful, some very powerful but whether or not they were enemies, prisoners, or allies was impossible to tell just yet after all this was a place for many a powerful criminal. Of interest to him however would be two spiritual powers behind a large steel door, down the cave the entire group of rebels would be standing before the entrance of. These two energies would stand out as guards quite obviously to Emi and could easily be assumed to be ANBU members due to their high chakra levels (B rank). Gaining some valuable information he would almost throw it away as the stampeding rhino's would charge through the cave entrance ahead of everyone else and kick up a lot of the rocks and dust along the cave floor and cause a loud rumble that would echo upon the walls to grow even louder as well as a slight shaking of earth alongside the light sound of a quiet click that would be rendered null beneath the sound of the stomping of the mud creations.

The guards were now well aware that there were some intruders coming and began to immediately take actions to announce their presence to the entire prison as they quickly slammed an alarm button causing loud sirens to sound throughout the prison as a warning to the other ANBU stationed within.

Before they could even break into the prison however they would have to deal with the steel door which barred their path. A thick door, it could easily withstand the charges of the six mud rhino's however they would leave a sizable dint. It would take some more effort to fully neutralise this obstacle, not to mention the two guards were preparing themselves behind the door for when the group were able to charge in, ready to defend the prison with their lives.

Emi's Observation check of the area - passed

Emi is aware that the number of potential opponents number in the dozens, mostly that of B rank individuals. Emi is aware of two guards stationed by the closed steel doors. Emi's observation ability also picked up on a low click that was created as the rhino's charged through the underground tunnel.

Tetsu's sense motive check - denied

Your check was far too vague, you must in the future be more specific with exactly who you are checking over. Amira is however aware that Turin is telling the trust as he is not hiding his motives.

You are all required, apart from Emi who has already passed, to make an observation skill check.
