Axel sighed low as he flipped through the medical journal he had procured from those who had cloned him to attempt the very ritual he was going over. While he set the book aside for Rosalie as she made the preparations for the surgery for him, he had given her the Ryo so she could reconnect with the staff and gather all the equipment that would be needed.

As the Rain hit the window and the dark light filtered through the window Axel couldn't help but cringe but he knew Rosalie would succeed where they failed, she was the greatest medic and had total faith in her. With his soul finally at rest now he focused his chakra and began to weave seals while awakening his soul.

Once enough chakra had been gathered he would pull it apart creating a copy of himself on the bed as he stood up on the counter. While he had absolute faith it felt stupid for a shinobi to take a risk without a back up plan. Although both of him were equally real the pile of wire in the antiseptic still brought a cringe to him. Soon he'd be the sum of an almost uncountable number of lives and his thoughts were running in his head like a typhoon.

-100,000 ryo for Wire Ritual obtained in What Was Lost. (cost of NPC included)


Bringer of Cthulhu (Ritual of Wires)
Rank: "S"
Effects: Replaces the whole body of the recipient with wires. Every one of the users organs, including the brain, as well as bones and muscles will be replaced by thin but durable metal wires. The only remaining organ is the heart, and because of the structure of the body, the recipient is now able to host up to five hearts in their body at one time (including their own). The wire allows the recipient to mimic nearly every bodily function, including but not limited to breathing, digestion, muscles, as well as tendons.
Special: ---
Description: Must have the materials needed for the procedure. Once you do, the medic that is doing the procedure will lay you upon an operating table. This table will be in the middle of a big seal upon the floor. This can be drawn by anyone, however it is required that chakra be poured into the seal for two turns. Some of the recipients chakra is then placed into glass globes, which will later become their eyes. Once this is done, the procedure is ready to begin. The medic will use a type of drug to knock the user out, inducing a coma. It is critical that this be done correctly, as the user will eventually have to wake up from this coma. The medics now begin once the seal is ready. They cut multiple incisions upon the body in the arm and leg areas. A multitude of wire is laced in the users body quickly, as tendons and muscle tissue is cut. This process is long, but eventually bones are removed as well. Finally the skin is replaced by planks of wood. The medics then manipulate the wire to sew the planks shut. extra wire hangs out of the head, which will soon become the users hair. The chakra After this, the seal activates, attaching the wire to the heart, and turning the wood into flesh, and the wire hanging out of their head into hair. Their hair takes on the original color of their hair. The seal links the recipients eyes to their chakra system, allowing sight after they wake up. Wooden masks are set about the body, 4 to be exact. One in the upper left corner of the back, one in the upper right corner of the back, one on the lower right back, and one on the lower left back. This allows room for multiple hearts to be placed. The users real heart, the only thing left still alive about them, is left to where it normally is, hidden behind a mask now. The user body will appear normal, as if only to have multiple stitches among it.
Drawback: Must sacrifice all knowledge within Genjutsu. The ability to utilize, and be affected by illusions is lost, as the brain is also lost within this process as well, and the brain is a key component in using Genjutsu. Also, during the procedure, when the Medic is attempting to restore your heart, there is still a 20% chance of death. 1-20 Die roll, you die.
Placement Requirements: 50,000 (To Hire a Medic) Ryo or B class PC Medic, 300 meters of Ninja Wire. Must be obtained through an Event. Must sacrifice a Fighting style slot, as well as a Clan slot to obtain.
Cost: 100,000 Ryo (Not including cost of Medic.)

After a fair amount of waiting Axel sighed low just as the door opened and a young blonde haired woman entered stunned briefly by the appearance of two of the wolf man before shaking it off, he was one of the previous Takikage after all. "ex-excuse me sir Takikage."

"Wow... no one has called me that for a long time, you almost seem to young to know of that time." The red head would comment with a half smile making the girl blush deeply.

"I graduated the Academy while you were in office, along side Lady Rosalie, she asked me to be here as her attending for your operation." She seemed to regain her composure rather quickly and the news she was a classmate of Rosalie's made him sober up remembering just how young she should've been if she hadn't been captured. Although her absence was still unnerving him a bit. "On that note, it's been an hour since she asked me to be here so I believe she wanted me to perform your surgery."

Despite the girl's warming smile Axel felt cold, almost frozen as both copies looked at the floor. It made sense that she wouldn't want to see him become the grotesque thing he had asked her to turn him into. Maybe that was the final nail for her after everything he had been through... "Sure... Here."

With a quiet move he would toss the journal toward the nurse which she would quickly read through muttering something about augmentations causing both of him to wince before she shut the journal and set it aside. "Understood Sir Takikage I assure you you're in the next best hands under Lady Rosalie. Would you please dispel your Shadow Clone?"

"Not a clone, we're both real, go ahead." He watched her as she blinked looking between both of him before the Axel on the bed would lay back allowing the girl to begin administering drugs to knock him out. Once he was, the girl took a deep breath and began to work slowly cutting through his body with the scalpel like she was flaying him. The Axel on the counter to the side just watched wondering if this was what the others had gone through or if theirs was far more painful and archaic.

Once it seemed like all of his body was cut open from his arms legs and torso, she began to work the organs and upping the drug's doses to insure the quality of his heart. After each organ was placed in a jar of liquid she started to shear his muscle and flesh from his bone removing it in chunks while using a brush to coat his skin making it seem more life-like than flayed skin. Now was probably the half-way mark as she had finally removed everything but the skeleton and heart that was no being kept alive through a combination of chakra and drugs; she began to move the wire around the skeleton forming it in thick bunches and cords like she was recreating his entire musculature system.

Once she finished each area she would use that very same wire to restitch his body closed. Having reached the heart she began to carefully thread the wire into and around the heart carefully as if she was weaving an elaborate design and once she was done she restitched his arms and torso leaving the skull left. Completely without warning she cloaked her hand with chakra and swiped across the skull causing a screech that made the other copy jump as the top of the skull fell open clattering on the table as she removed his eyes then brain form the skull eradicating the cells along the spine to help removal of the organ. While the rest of the operation was what he expected this part made him gag and force him to hold his mouth and stomach to keep his food down before she reattached the skull and applied the stitching that only seemed to appear from his lips to the sides but his hair seemed to fall away after the scalp had been peeled.

With a shudder Axel would look over the new body that had undergone the surgery, it looked far better than the ones he had gave peace in the laboratory and the stitching was so clean it almost wasn't visible, the same could be said for the skin it looked healed together already and healthy as his own skin.

"Now for the moment of truth..." The woman spoke a loud before touching the new body's chest and pushing a pulse of chakra through it to jump start the body and flush the drugs free.

dice roll please, 20% chance of death

Human Wires
Rank: C
Skill: Movement, Supplementary
Effect: Once trained, because of the odd nature of the wires, the user is able to fully control the wires in their body.
Special: Must have had the Ritual of the Wire performed upon to learn.
Drawback: ---
Description: Upon completion of the Ritual of the Wire, and the user has survived, the user finds that they are not as able to control their body as they were once able to. Through basic manipulation of the different wires within their body, the user learns to manipulate them similar to the muscles in the human body, enabling them to better control themselves. This grants the user the ability to appear normal, without the risk of someone noticing that the user has been altered by the aforementioned ritual.
Limit: Must be learned directly after receiving the Ritual of the Wires.

As the pulse surged through the body the soul copy on the counter would vanish as his breath sucked in violently sue to a habit he no longer had. He would jerk up breathing heavy as a deep blue glow would come from his eyes and the wire within his body jerked and twitched as it all became his new body slipping and slithering under his skin looking like snakes were moving under his skin until the ends of the wire found the stitching and slithered out.

The black tendrils would retreat briefly after touching the could metal of the table slowly slithering about the plain metal surface as Axel felt everything they did as if his body had been splayed further out on the table. A soft gasp drew his attention to the surgeon making the tendrils halt briefly before renewing their movement. Towards her.

As his tendrils came into Axel's field of vision, he watched as they reached from the table to the surgeon's legs slowly coiling around them as the heat of her skin reached him while they would slowly travel up her thighs the twisting motion slowly growing over her thighs feeling her shape as they vanished under her skirt. While he couldn't see them her squirming and her heat was like he was touching her directly as the tendrils moved further along her body now visibly slithering up over the skin over flat stomach feeling one tendril dip against her naval at the same time she squeaked at the feeling.

While the young surgeon had seemed frightened her eyes were glued to the black cords as they explored her body. After reaching her stomach the tendrils would split apart more branching as they slipped around her back, between and over her breasts earning more squeaks as the tendrils grew warmer from both her body heat and his own. Axel's eyes watched the tendrils quiet and blank as they moved, his mind not having returned to rational thinking after the reboot. Although as they coiled down her arms the young woman looked like she wore laced demonic battle gear beneath her clothes and it was then that he came to and in an instinct like pulling his hand away the wire would tighten around her body earning a moan as her eyes became half lidded and her posture slumped now only being held up by his own wire.

With a deep blush he would slowly untangle his wire from her body and pull it back into his body before trying to move it slowly finding the same rhythm his body once had. Slowly and gently he would shift to the edge looking down at her as she breathed heavily with a bit of wetness on her thighs blushing as he slowly knelt beside her and lifted her onto the counter his copy had been sitting her on. "I-I'm sorry, I don't know what I was doing."

With a deep blush he would wipe the blood from his skin before getting dressed again as the wire unconsciously grew from his scalp dyed red becoming the hair he had once again.

+5. And that's being generous. The majority of this training was unconscious movement as the body (or rather lack there of) adjusted to it's new form. It wasn't until the last couple of paragraphs that things were actually being put under Axel's control.

As he left the hospital he found his movement limited to barely a brisk walk as Axel breathed deeper out of impulse feeling the difference in his heavy body. With a quick look around he would move to the south to the natural parts of the village slowly building up more speed as he pushed the wire in his body harder just like they were the muscle that had been inside him before crouching low under a tree using the momentum to build up energy before finally pushing off the earth. But he missed, just narrowly enough for his fingers to brush against the branch. 'Dammit just a bit further!'

As if on command he heard slithering and a sharp whip before his fall stopped and his gaze looked up at the tree. The wire within his body had been fired out and around the branch catching him before he could fall back down. From the angle he could see the wire had flooded out from between the lines of his hands and fingers. Focusing on the wire he would pull it back into his body while keeping the wire wrapped tight around the branch until his hand could grab hold of the branch allowing him to climb onto it.

With his sense of balance shaken he would slowly push the wire from his hands and feet allowing him to grasp the branches easier like claws. Looking to the next tree he would rock his weight on the branch back and forth to help get a boost on his jump before leaping out. Despite his best efforts though he only covered roughly two thirds of the distance as he reached out toward the tree zeroing in on a specific branch before willing his wire again. This time his stitching would unravel and his arm would stretch before the wire rushed out creating a web in the tree before Axel whipped the wire pulling himself into it.

First his arm would retract to normal and the wire would restitch his skin before the web would slowly unravel allowing him to find footing within the tree once more. He could feel every shift to his wires now that he'd felt them moving within and outside of his body, they had become his body now.
