Village Defense (Training)

[Waru]

A few days have past since her battle with the Necromancers. She wasn’t too clear on why they decided to attack that village, nor could explain their sudden disappearance from the battlefield. It was a peculiar event none the least. After their sudden disappearance everyone who participated in the battle seem to go their separate ways.

She rubbed the shoulder which was pierced by the undying necromancer. The wound was nearly closed now. It was rough for her as she had very little medical equipment at hand, however she manage to pull enough resources from the village remains to bandage herself up. She sighed within herself at the idea that wound was going to leave a scar. The idea of having a scar left upon her body made her feel uneasy. She took pride in taking care of herself and having form of blemishes such as a scar made her feel distorted. Trying not to focus on the damage upon her skin she shifted her attention towards the dirt road she was traveling on. She finally manage to leave the providence of Karminari and was making her way through Yu, the land of Hot Springs.

The idea of being her place her in a bit of high spirits. She normally doesn’t tolerate heat too well, but once in a while she did enjoy taking a dip in natural hot springs. The idea of having a bath in the hot springs cause her to perk up a bit and have a skip to her step now. As she made her way further down the dirt path, she pick up the scent of something burning. The smell caused her to stop her in tracks to look around for the source and noticed a earie red glow coming over the horizon. Curious about what could be happening she went over the hill to see what was going on.

As she made her way over the hill she was a bit shock to see what was going on. A village was on fire being overtaken by fire that spread through it streets. She wondered what could have happen and notice something odd. There seemed to be no one around fighting the flames. This caused a bit of concern and provoked her to take a closer look.

Waru made her way through the streets of the village. As she suspected their was no signs of life around as she maneuvered around the village. After a few minutes of running through the street and cutting in and out of alleyways she finally spotted a person off in the distance. Curiously she called out to the person trying to figure out what was happening, ”Hey! What is happening here!? She moved closer to the figure to see what he was doing. When she finally could make the figure out through the flames of the village she notice the man was dressed in white garbs with an emblem displayed upon his back she knew all too well.

Without hesitation she drew her blade and dashed towards the man cutting him down before he had a chance to respond, her blade cut deep causing a fatal wound. The man fell to the floor gasping for air, Waru reset her blade back into her sheath What are you doing here! She cried out clasping her hands around the man’s robes pulling him up.

”What are the Purist doing here? Where are the villagers! The man laughed as she finally saw the woman’s face. He knew all too well the snow witches face,”We…ha..have come to cleanse this land….Th…There is no hope for yo….. The man fell silent as he slipped away from this earth.

She shook the man out of fury demanding more answers, but it was too late he was no longer part of this world. As she released the man from her grasp she heard a voice call out from the distance, ”Looks like this little girl killed our handler. A large man appeared from the shadows of the alley with another person cladded in dark robes. Immediately she reached for her weapon ready to withdraw it if needed. There was a moment of silence between to the two parties as if they were sizing each other up. She noticed none of the men dawned an emblem of the Purist, ”Who are you guys suppose to be?. When she spoke, she noticed the hooded individual moved his arm. Without realizing what had happened a small puppet emerged from behind her ripping her blade from her hands and returning it to its master.

She tried to reclaim her blade, but ended up jolting back when she saw the large move towards her. She found herself at a major disadvantage now. Her blade was gone and the fire raging on around her prevented her from summoning her ice. ”We were hired by the Purist for protection. Seems they been having troubles with a rouge group foiling their plans. Never expected we find the Snow Witch that has been giving them the most problems. Must be our lucky day.

”Damn” She should have expected this day to come. It’s only been a year, but her and a band of other bloodlines have been taking the fight to the Purist. The other must have been pushing the Purist back far enough they need to seek outside help and judging from her opponents they had to be Ex-Shinobis.

”Your employer is dead no need to continue this senseless violence” motioning to the body beneath her feet. The large man laughed, cracking his knuckles as he moved in, ”He was just our point of contact on this mission. He had no value to us other than that. However, we were given special instructions if we were forced to encounter you. A wicked smile appeared on the large man’s face as she bolted towards her.

Waru flinched back as the large man approached. He had his right arm cocked back giving the appearance he was going to throw a hook. However, that was a feint that caused her to drop her guard against his intended action. The large man tackled into her causing her to spiral into the building behind her. Her body crashed throw the window sending glass everywhere.

Waru rose from the floor a bit dazed. The man clearly possessed the strength that dwarfed her own. She staggered a bit trying to reclaim her balance, she noticed there was a group of eyes upon her. Startled she turned around in a defensive position ready to fight. What she found was a group of children tied together by rope staring up at her, scared and terrified. ”They were burning the village down to kill the captive villagers.” The thought of what the Purist were doing here burned into her mind, enraging her once again.

She made her way to the children in attempts to free them from their binds, ”Don’t worry I’m here to help” Even though her intention were good the children flinched back in fear of the stranger. She noticed one of the children had different colored eyes, one who possessed a blood limit. She kneeled down beside the young boy and smiled, ”I’m just like you, ok. Her eyes flared red showing the tomes within her eyes. The young boy stared for a second, seeming a bit confused. Then a smile crept across his face, “You have eyes just like nana.” The mere mention of the name “Nana” brought the children some comfort. They stared at waru more fondle now. She smiled giving the young man a pat on the head and began to work untying his binds, ”Lady they took all the children and scattered us in different buildings and the adults are at town hall.” A sense of relief came over her, she still had time to save everyone if she could avoid fighting these mercenaries.

After releasing three kids she turned her attention back to the broken window. She saw the large man was almost upon her and the children, ”Help the others escape and head towards the woods. Whatever happens remain hidden till I come and find you, Ok?” The child with the bloodline nodded in agreement as he worked quickly to free his friends.

”Found you. A raspy voice came from behind her. She turned to see the large man was in the doorway staring down at her and the children. Waru screamed for the children to run as the large man reached down grabbing hold of her and tossing her into the wall. The impact caused her to lose her breath, gasping for air as the man made his way towards the children. The children screamed in fear on the approach of the man. Waru screamed at the top of her lungs, drawing the man attention back towards her. Without realizing what she had done, waru thrust her hand forward casting an Ray of Ice at the man’s face. The ray was weak, but it caused enough damage to the man to whirl him back in fright and temporally lose his eyesight. Waru was dumbfounded on what she just did. Casing her ice spells would have been impossible in this environment. However, she manages to cast something out of thin air. She cried out to the children once again to flee as she got back to her feet and tackled the large man out the window.

[Waru]

Waru quickly regained her footing after tackling the man outside and began to flee down the streets. It seemed the hooded figure that accompanied the man had withdrawn to somewhere else. She quickly made her way down the alley, weaving in and out of buildings looking for more children. Waru could hear the large man breaking through buildings from behind her. It seemed he finally was able to shake the ice from his eyes and begin pursuing her.

”I need a weapon to defend myself," she muttered under her breath as she felt the large man was gaining on her. In a swift motion of her hands, she performed a series of seals trying to cast forth her ice. For a brief moment, she felt the cold well up inside her before dissipating. She felt the cold inside her, but the heat was finally taking its toll on her. She tried once again performing a series of seals in attempts to summon the cold. As she strung together the series of handseals, the large man appeared once again grabbing hold of her face with his massive hands, ”I’ve got you now!"

Waru abruptly stopped her seals to grasp on to the man’s wrist in attempts to break his grip. However, she lacked the required strength to break free. The large man was about to slam her to the ground when he suddenly released her screaming in pain as he felt the sting bite of the cold attack his flesh. His hand was covered in frost and causing continues pain, the man rushed over to the fires engulfing the village and slammed his hand into the embers. Waru had managed to call forth the cold to protect just in time. A thin layer of permafrost was now encasing itself around the woman’s body. Her lips iced over with a thin layer of white frost. An aura of cold now permeated itself around her, causing the damage to the man’s hand when he grabbed hold of her,  "How!? How are you able to summon ice!?"

She shrugged her shoulder and smiled, ”Blessed I guess." Without another word, she bolted off down the alley continuing her search for the villagers.

[Waru]

Waru bolted down the alleyway knocking over anything in her path to block the man who pursued her. It manages to slow his progress for a bit, however, his determination to murder the woman who had caused him harm was far too great to let little obstacles slow his pursuit. She turned out of the alleyway and shot straight for a house. She quickly made an observation of the area to locate anyone within. When she ended up empty she leaped out the back window and continued her search.

She finally made her way to the main street where she encountered another man wearing a black suit with odd shape hat. It seems the man was part of the group who came with the Purist member as he was lighting houses on fire with his breath, ”Damn another one. she cried out, catching the attention of the man.

The man pivoted around with his attention now on waru. With a quick series of seals and a deep breath, the man launched a fireball towards the girl. Waru reacted in reflex performing a series of seals of her own. Imminently she dropped to the ground summoning for an Wall of Ice that blocked the fireballs approach. As the smoke cleared, the wall of ice still stood strong with mild burns upon its icy surface. The man was left speechless at the feat of the young woman.

The larger man who had been pursuing her found himself standing in his alley as they both stop to watch the wall of ice, ”Shinzo! Is the little girl behind that wall?” The large man shouted infuriated that intel about the young woman was incorrect. They were informed if they placed her in an environment of heat and removed her weapon she would be easy prey. The man known as Shinzo looked at his large companion and nodded, ”Yes Bart. She is hidden behind that wall of hers.” The men slowly made their approach to the wall to gain the upper hand against her in numbers. However, upon their approach, they couldn’t help overhear her muttering to herself.

[Waru]

The men’s advancement was halted when the ice wall was washed over by a tsunami of snow spilling over the top. The men tried to rush back out of its path but were caught up in the snow storm washing them down the street. Before that had occurred waru had taken refuge behind her icy wall trying to perform another series of hand seals to summon forth her stronger ice techniques. However, she didn’t possess the amount of strength yet to call forth such powerful techniques in this environment. She began to curse her abilities to perform techniques she needs and decided to try her luck with Call Avalanche. After performing the series of required seals she placed her hands down on the ground, causing an eruption of snow and ice to explode from the ground behind her and swim its way over her wall.

She listened to the men curse as they were swept with the current of the snowy wave. The large man named Bart manages to catch himself along the way, by performing his own series of hand seals that summon forth a spike of earth that protected him from the snow. His ally, on the other hand, was swept down the street and around the bend from his sight. Once the avalanche made its way out of the area, Bart summon for the earth around him to wrap around his hands making stone gauntlets.

Waru didn’t want to waste any more time fooling around with these people. She swiftly performed another series of hand seals calling forth her weapon of ice she called ”Evermore”. Its appearance was similar to the katana that was taken from her. She placed the blade in the sheath of her old weapon and proceeded down another alleyway making her way to the next building. As she made her unseen escape, Bart approached the wall of ice sending it crumbling to the ground with one mighty swing. He stepped over the remains looking over the area to find the women, but he was at a lost on her escape.

[Waru]

Waru quickly scanned through the buildings with haste. She didn’t have the luxury of thoroughly searching each and every building as she would have liked. The flames that were consuming the village were quickly spreading. When she was about to enter another building, she heard the yelling of someone in the distances. She quickly rushed over hoping it was some of the villagers. She cautiously went inside the building where she heard the yelling. As she approached the doorway she could hear the rattling of chains and screaming sounds of one young man.

She entered the building to find a group of children tied together in rope and one young man bound in chains on the floor. The young man was trying with all his might to break the chains that bind him. Waru walked into the young man screaming at her in protest, ”Free me monster so I can bash your skull in.” Waru flinched back as she remembered those eyes the young man possessed from someone else. A smile appeared on her face as she realized who this young man was, he was a Kamyuja with boundless strength. ”You seem to be a little stuck there young one. Need a hand? The young boy was enraged more than ever. But when he saw waru kneel down beside him with those red eyes, his rage slowly subsided, Nana has those eyes.”

Waru smiled and patted his head, ”So I’ve been told.” She placed her hands on the chains and summon the Burst of Glacial Wrath within the palm of her hands. The chains slowly began to freeze over, causing them to become brittle. With his own strength, the young man broke free of his binds grateful to waru. ”Now free the others and head for the woods.” The young man protested against her wishes. He wanted to fight these invaders too, but waru dispelled the notion as quickly as he brought it up. She told him that his strength needed to free the others and keep them safe. It was her job to eliminate this threat. The young man was about to protest again, but was silence quickly she gave him a peck on the forehead, ”Won’t you be good for me and save your friends?” The young man blushed and nodded in agreement, he was a bit embarrassed by the little kiss.

After all the children were set free, they made their escape to the woods using the back alleys. Waru set out once again looking through the houses for anyone more children. She pondered on the young boy's aid for assistance for a minute and came up with an idea. Quickly she weaved together a series of seals that conjured her army of six snowmen. She did her best to make these creature resemble friendly snowmen that would appeal to the children of the village. Quickly she instructed the snowmen to seek out children who were being captive and guide them to the woods. She also noted to only engage in combat against those that posed a threat to the children. After her orders were issued, she released her squad of snowmen through the village to complete their mission. Hopefully, the extra help would buy her some the time she needed to find everyone.

[Waru]

In her inspiration to create more allies to aid in her search. She quickly strung together another long series of seals to summon forth her Black Dragon Familiar. The pseudodragon appeared next to her, tiny as a house cat. The incorporeal creature had a bluish black tint to his skin and glowing red eyes. Waru was delighted to see the little creature again, ”Are you ready to help me?” The pseudodragon gave a soft yawn as it stretched itself out before taking flight. She instructed the creature to stay close by and assist her in the search. The creature nodded in agreeance and soared into the buildings passing through the walls. His aid would definitely speed the process of the search.

As she searched through the buildings, she couldn’t help wonder how she was able to summon so many ice creations without the assistance of the element is present. She took a second to snap her fingers together feeling the cold within her. It was almost as if she was the cold element herself. It was a strange feeling to have, but one she would need to figure out later.

Waru and her icy creation scoured the village looking for any signs of life besides their own or their enemies. Two of her snowmen had the unfortunate luck to encounter the large name Bart. Her creations put up a good fight but were no match for the man’s strength. Waru along with her pseudodragon freed another group of children from their binds along with one of her snowmen. The children were hesitant at first to trust the snowman, but after it was made clear of its attention the children welcome the creature as a friend. After freeing the children from their binds, the snowman lead the children to safety in the woods where it encountered the young bloodline children that waru first made contact with. It seemed the Kamyuja and the Onigami child had met up within the woods and were working together to usher the rest of the children off to safety. After the snowman completed its task, it went back to the village to seek out more children in need.

[Waru]

As she made her way through the alleyways; seeking out more children. Her pseudodragon came rushing at her screeching in distress. The creature hovered overhead whirling around in circles trying to grab her attention. It seemed her creation had found some children trapped in a burning building and were desperately in need of some aid. Quickly, she followed the creature back to home the children were locked-in. The building was covered in flames, the structure had slowly begun to cave-in on itself.

She quickly tried to find a way into the building, but all avenues of approach were blocked by the flames. She tried her best to brave through the flames. Instead found herself shrieking back from the heat. All hope seemed lost. However, not wanting to admit defeat and the loss of the children she devised a cunning plan to bypass the flames. If the fires were too hot to move pass, then she would have to cool them down for her to slip by. Her hands intertwined together creating an array of handseals to invoke her technique. Steadily she poured her chakra forth into her icy creation, summoning forth a spell to turn the fires cold. ALmost in a smooth sequence of successful movements, she poured her energy into her technique.

The red-hot flames the danced around the entrance began to shimmer into a blue-white flame till then finally accepted their new colors. The air between her and the new flames where much cooler. It was a nice sudden change of pace from the raging heat the flames exuded. Waru passed through the entrance no longer feeling the threaten by the heat that prevented her advancement. Inside, she found a cluster of children huddled in the middle trying to escape the reaches of the fires dancing around them. Once again she performed a long series of seals to conjure forth her Cold Fire to overtake the flames that threaten her new charges. Slowly the fires flickered from red to icy blue, until they finally were subdued by their new master. The room rapidly dropped from smothering heat to a nice brisk chill. The sudden change was most welcome by the children as the hurried to Waru’s side. Quickly she removed the binds that held them. With a wave of her hand, she beckoned the flames to step aside from the doorway, permitting the children to escape the confines of the building. She recalled one of her snowmen to retrieve the children and take them to safety on the outskirts of town. After all the children were finally out of her sight, she pressed on down the streets seeking more in need of aid.

1. 0/70

Waru continued rushing through the buildings, searching for any more children. She didn’t know how much time she had left. The fires were spreading quicker through the village, no doubt the work of the fire user who accompanied the brute. She paused for a moment to examine the ice around her body. It seemed her Corona of cold was finally dispelling from her body. Not wanting to face the scorching heat of the fire around her, she quickly placed her hands together to start weaving a new series of handseals. Except for this time, she would push her technique to the limit to expand its duration.

Slowly her fingers interlocked with one another creating the seals for summoning her creation. She pushed forth more chakra that was needed to perform this particular jutsu. She even gave herself more time to perform extra handseals for the technique. With each slip of the fingers, the aura of ice around her grew stronger. The permafrost that had dissipated from her body remerged, retaking its former glory around her body.

The warm air the threaten her body was quickly banished from her area, as a cool breeze once again emanated from her body. She took a moment to inhale the frigid air around her filling her lungs with new life. Though the cold she produces was a temporary fix for the situation she was it. Its cold embrace was warmly welcomed as an old friend. She took the next few moments to survey the area around her. Indeed the fire was spreading more quickly then she would have like. She needs to find a way to either stop the fire user or slow the growth of the flames.

[Waru]

2. 0/70

Waru pace back and forth for a bit, pondering on how she could stop the flames from spreading. Eventually, she caught herself staring absent-mindedly at her hand for a second. She was fascinated with the frost the covered her fingertips. Suddenly a flash of inspiration hit her. If she could eliminate one of the three elements fire needs to burn, she could potentially slow or halt the spread of the flames. ”That’s it!” she shouted in delight, ”If I can decrease the temperature of the surrounding area with a cold front it should suppress the flames.” She was ecstatic about the idea. However, she needs to proceed carefully with her idea. If she could amass an advancing cold air with moister it should overwhelm the flames. The opposing for to this idea was if she created powerful winds she could potentially spread the fire even more.

Without wasting another moment she positions herself out of sight from the main street and kept hidden in the shadows of the alley. When she felt the coast was clear; she lashed together a string of handseals to conjure forth her Cold Snap. She paced herself for the rigorous task of releasing her chakra with the technique. She expanded the required seal need to create the technique to gain a longer lasting effect, the consumption of chakra was increased need was offer up to perform the task. Slowly the cold chill trickles out from around her, creeping its way across the land.

Everyone within a mile could feel the sudden change in the air. Many of the children in the outskirts of the village felt the sudden drop in temperature. Even the three men who searched the village for the estranged woman felt her icy touch in the air. Effortlessly she strung together the seals to complete her task, with each movement of her hands she placed a bit of her own soul within the technique. Already the temperature had dropped 50 degrees Fahrenheit and was rapidly decreasing. She did her best to control the flow of her technique, not wanting to bring forth any sudden cold winds that could spark the growth of the fame. So far everything was going according to plan.
