Moyoushi Citadel (Downtown Moyoushi)

[Natsuki Kikkawa]

~The place for City Council members to gather as well as the vault and other citadel access points~

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

Escorted through the city like a dog on a leash, The guard made sure not to let Jin out of sight or reach for that matter. Didn't it look strange one might ask but the citizens dared not to speak or even look. The scant glimpse of the kirigakure headband was enough to know that they were being kept safe from a 'hostile' guest. Some would cheer as they walked by, others would mock yet it was hard to decipher if the rude reactions were towards Jin or just events within the streets. This was the discreet style of Moyoushi citizens, especially when it came on to how they perceived various guests from the shinobi worlds.

Likewise even those in power would deal with guests in a similar manner. Upon being brought inside the Citadel, another set of guards would take Jin and escort him as instructed by the previous guard. Deep within the Citadel, they'd traverse, the flight of stairs never seemed to end until they were underground. He was brought inside a pitch black room. Here he'd be able to converse with the 'President' of Moyoushi.

"Speak Kiri-nin...what business does the Mizukage have with our city."

[zieg]

What a trip it would have been. Jin feeling his footsteps hit the ground, only having the luxury of that sense telling him he was within the city. Well that and his hearing of the citizens mocking him, though he wouldn't be effected by it. It was quite odd that they had to go this far. Some ninja villages probably didn't even do this much. It was madness but it was what had to be done, and thus Jin would continue to be speechless.

He would be exchanged between another pair of guards, as if he were some sort of slave. He could feel that he was now being leaded by some other guards. If they knew, if only they knew that Jin could kill just as well without his eyes. The ears were a beautiful tool to use in such the occasion, but thus he would not succumb to such thoughts.

A long flight of steps were in order, as Jin would continue down them, taking step after step after step, after step. It was nonsense. Complete and utter nonsense. Jin would grow tired of the things he had to go through. Eventually it would end. Eventually.

Jin would be placed within a dark room. Of course he wouldn't know that. The blindfold was quite useful in the situation. He was given a question and then sighed before speaking.

"The Mizukage wishes to show a sign of peace between the two countries. Thus she has sent me to bring you 150,000 Ryo, for you to do whatever you like with."

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

"Ah, so the Mizukage wishes to court the River Country...through one of it's prominent cities no less, charmed." The president didn't necessarily respond with sarcasm, rather his voice was amused...to say the least. Though it would soon become serious, darkness hiding the coy look as his eares homed in on the peace offering; 150 000 Ryo. The City wouldn't pass up such money.

"Very well, we're first and foremost providers of entertainment...being a tourist destination. We will always provide equal oppertunities for the various villages to do business with us. If the Mizukage would like our good favour then consider it done. I shall prepare the special prepare special documents that you can escort back to Mist. They'll provide information about our services and special accomodations that we can provide."

Unlike prior, the President no longer sounded hostile, perhaps a sign of things turning around for Jin?

"Now then, present the offering by extending your arm forward and we shall accept the Mizukage's sincerest wishes. Guards will be escorting you outside of the city once this is complete."

His voice now seemed to trail off for a moment, it raised the question... was the president even there to begin with? Certainly should he extend his arm out, offering the envelope of Ryo, he'd feel someone grasp it from him. There would then be more silence, perhaps to build up paranoia and discomfort within Jin.

[zieg]

Jin would have listened to the supposed president speak when it was his turn. It seemed negotiations went ok. He was willing to accept the offer and was willing to also make sure that documents were made so the Mizukage knew what had went down, and that the money was paid and River and Water were on good terms. A successful mission...or so it would seem. It wasn't quite over. Jin was asked to give the money now and even still he was blindfolded.

He cleared his throat a bit, before smiling and reaching into his kimono. around his chest and finding the rolled up scroll with the Ryo within it. He extended his right hand, with it there, ready to be taken. He would have no grip on it, and such even a child could take it. He was being absent minded. He only wanted out of the city and to return home.

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

Unfortunately returning home wasn't in the deck of cards just yet. Once the Ryo was taken, whomever took it seemed to vanish without a trace but the lights were never turned on. Now then, Jin would begin to be rushed by a group of people. They'd aim to tackle him to the ground where they'd proceed to beat up on the Hyuuga in order to incapcitate him. It wasn't likely that such a group of people, irregardless of their size would be able to take on the ninja so easily. Yet within the confines of the darkness it'd be that much easier for Jin's assailants to launch attacks especially since they could see whilst he probably could not.

In addition there was no way for the Hyuuga to confirm the number of attacks within the dark room, he'd have to hone his ears as best as he could.

[zieg]

The money would be taken from Jin. He sighed from relief knowing that it would soon be over...or would it? Just as the money was taken, and Jin started to finally relax a bit a group of men would have ambushed him and assaulted him, beating him to the ground. Jin attempted to hold his ground, balancing himself on one knee, while holding his arms up to protect himself from any fatal blows to the head, that might have taken him out. He grit his teeth hard as he could feel he was being assaulted and battered by several people. So many fist flew at him and connected that he couldn't take a decent note to how many there was.

While Jin's arms were busy protecting his head one blow would get to his left rib cage and bruise it, causing some decent pain that would make even him flinch. Once this was done Jin conjured all of this chakra and in a mass burst released it, knocking away everyone whom was near him. He stood up, holding his left rib with his right hand. He grit his teeth and attempted to look around, only to see more dark. The blindfold had been knocked off. It hung wildly around his neck. He would try to sense or hear anymore people nearing him.

Hakkeshou: Sekishokyuu (Hands of the Eight Divinations: Barrier Sphere)
Rank: C
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user releases a mass burst of chakra from their tenketsu, stopping Taijutsu and physical projectiles.
Special: --
Drawback: Does not protect against Ninjutsu at all.
Description: The user releases a mass burst of chakra from their tenketsus, forming a dome-shaped blast with a diameter of about one meter. Any foe or physical caught within the blast area is stalled or completely stopped by the counterforce. This technique, however, cannot stall Ninjutsu attacks. Also, because it is stationary, it requires more chakra than the Kaiten.
Limit: Must learn from a Jyuuken teacher or at the Hyuuga Mansion. Must be a Hyuuga. Must know Jyuuken Advanced Stance. Must known Hakkeshou: Nankan.

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

Jin was prepared to go out with a bang or so it would seem. He sent all his assailants backwards with a burst of chakra, no doubt expected from a ninja. He'd already suffered quite a few noteworthy blows but surely he had much more chakra within him than that. It'd take a clever mix of physical torture and mental torture in order to exhaust him of both his supplies. The next step in such a plan soon came to fruitition.

It would start with those precious ears that he'd cling so dearly to. From an unknown area within the dark room, at least unknown to Jin would a piercing scream commence. The assailant was actually directly infront of him, spaced back by enough to be remotely safe yet placing him within 1/3 distance away. The scream was only a shriek from hell itself, serving to deafen the Hyuuga and no doubt paralyze him as well if all things went as planned.

Jigoku Himei no Jutsu (Hell Shriek)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: This is the advancement of the Himei no Jutsu in which gives longer range and more effects then that of the normal technique.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user takes hit by the exact type of technique. Read Descriptions in order to gain a better understanding.
Description: As the Himei no Jutsu there are three seperate tiers for the opponent. Depending on the very range of the attack and where the opponent is what matters for this type of technique. The user's difficulty class is what seperates the magnitude of the attack as well. The technique has a range of forty meters for the basic D Class Ninja. When the user opens up their mouth they concentrate on the very vocal chords of their throat and push forth in all directions a massive scream capable of great damage is thrown out. For every difficulty class the range increases by five meters with a maximum of sixty meters for S Class. For any opponent that is within one third of distance from the user the opponent is unable to hear for six posts, feels nautious for five posts, and can not move for four post. For any opponent that is within two thirds distance from the user the opponent is unable to hear for five posts, feels nautious for four posts, and can not move for three posts. For any opponent that is within three thirds distance from the user the opponent is unable to hear for four posts, feels nautious for three posts, and can not move for two posts. No matter what Class the user is in the user is unable to hear for four posts. When this technique is used glass within the distance shatters.

Though the fun wouldn't stop there, after the horrifying screech, more assailants seemed to come for the Hyuuga. Four of them in particular would gather around him within a three meter radius. From there, they'd unleash a powerful bolt of electricity in the air intended to stun the Hyuuga and permanently paralyze him before the situation would get anymore dangerous or so they hoped.

Thunder Clap Technique
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The jutsu will stun and immobilize a person by sending an electrical current through the air. The people affected would be immobilized for one turn.

An invisible electric current is sent out, radiating outward from the user. It will stun and immobilize anyone in a 3 meter radius, long enough for the user to attack or escape.
Limit: Must know Lightning Release

[zieg]

Jin was blinded unfortunately. His eyes were nothing now. A perfect setting to attack someone with the Byakugan. Even now it wouldn't help completely. Though he could have used it earlier he really wished not to kill these men, but it seemed if he wanted to survive they would have to die. A flip of the coin it seemed. On one side someone dies, on the other someone else dies. He had to make the choice.

His thoughts were broken as a extremely loud shriek would have overtaken his ears, and rung loudly, shaking his entire body. His eyes shot open in pain as he felt it all. His body twitched a bit, as the pain set in. He wouldn't yell. No. No matter the pain. Though now his body would feel somewhat weak, and would be unable to move. But it got worse. Before anything else could be done an electromagnetic shock would set and hit Jin, causing him to freeze, not hurting nearly as badly as the sound technique used against him.

He fell to his knees and his head shot down. His arms both fell to his sides like a ragdoll, as he couldn't hold them. His muscles were being held and he had nothing more he could do. He wondered what would happen now. He was already at a disadvantage, but now he was here without his ears and the movement of his body. He was a sitting punching bag. Not a lot could be done, as he could have easily been killed now if they wanted.

His mind still pondered to make sense of this while scenario and why it happened.

Damn it. This isn't good.

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

The harsh reality of the situation was winding down now that Jin was paralyzed. His assailants would once more jump him but instead of using the young man as a punching bag, they instead began to drain his chakra to no ends. Being a Hyuuga he certainly had a fair bit of chakra as it was so they'd alternate between beating and draining his chakra. Throughout this time, he'd probably have lost consciousness if he hadn't earlier.

As Time passed....

The punching bag Hyuuga was soon dragged out of the dark room. Once more blindfolded two guards would insure that he was out but he'd have a good departing gift, the documents and information needed to confirm the peace treaty with Moyoushi. So why then had they beaten the man down? Should this be a trap from Kirigakure, they wanted to make sure the ninja would have little to no recollection of the events that had taken place, except know that he'd completed his mission.

This allowed them to feel safe knowing that no harm would come to their citizens as well as their safety not being jeopardized.

|Exit with Jin (5% chakra reserves currently)|

[zieg]

Jin had been taken care of by the Moyoushi citizens, unable to defend himself from their jutsus taking effect on them. They even went farther and drained him of almost all his chakra. He felt weak and unable to move. Something not to be favored by any taijutsu specialist. The body being weak was something that required a lot of work. He wondered what would make them want to do that?

Either way his lifeless body would be dragged outside of where ever they were. His hair was scattered about, but mainly in his face, covering it. He laid along the ground, waking up and opening his eyes. He looked around. Blood stains had been on his face and some bruises among other things. He had grown really annoyed with this city.

"Argh....stupid." He said, as he worked his way slowly to his feet, struggling as he did, shaking on his way to his two feet, depending on them to stand. He shook his head, as he started walking, or rather limping to where he wanted. He wouldn't be able to travel through two countries in the condition he was in. He needed to rest somewhere. He started to search for a resting place. He wouldn't go anywhere conventional, as the city proved to be full of odd people and another encounter with a stranger wasn't desired.

[EXIT]

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Enter Sector Seven

Hikumi had lead the group to Moyoushi Citadel, the place where the government of this city resided. Here they had the chance to speak with the 'President' of the city, along with Hikumi. The first thing Hinagiku did was explain to the President her current situation, to which she explained she was simply a retired ninja wishing to raise her family. Being the one whom initiated the peace treaty would hopefully bring the man's favour upon her. However what really shinned was the information pertaining to the former President and his ties. This news would surely bring shock but more importantly; another offering was put on the table.

"This is the final offering I give to Moyoushi City in return for becoming my new home and my family's home. I present to you this safe from Kirigakure. It contains 320 550¥ as well as the Village Scrolls. The latter of which you can use to barter to other shinobi villages to gain favour and take part in your services, I'm sure."

Of course the new offering was literally placed on the desk infront of her by Tensoku. The only question now was, would they accept her as a citizen here?

|Ryo Transfer, Scroll Transfer, Map Transfer, and Custom Sword Transfer to Moyoushi City Treasury|

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

Favourable. The woman before them, Shinobi or not more than won them over with monitary compensation. The smile on the Presidents face reflected the Cities new found wealth and no doubt a raise of funding from the Daimyo. He'd extend his hand to her before making the necessary documents for her and those around her to stay in the city. It marked the reign of a new Era, Moyoushi City...18 years later.

[Accepted]

[pandoru]

Confirmed o.od Ryo dun

[Arashi Zetsumei]

[Enter]
It may have took awhile, having to discuss and learn about the city with various locals but in time she gained some good information pertaining to the place. It would ultimately lead her to Downtown Moyoushi, where it was easy to arrive at City Hall. Speaking with the receptionist, it would lead to one of the City Councilors being summoned or so they told her. Now she'd just have to wait.

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

The receptionist followed protocol but the person who came down wasn't a Councilor. Rather it was the President of Moyoushi himself. Considering Mikuru didn't actually hold the title just yet, Not until the official elections, he still took care of running the city as a public figure. Of course he was opposed of the Akumu girl succeeding the city, yet he had not found anyone to succeed him. It'd result in a loosing affair should elections come up soon. However now wasn't the time for that, he decided to take the place of the councilor just to get out of the office, something to do. When he arrived at the reception area, he was rather surprised to see a teen, younger than Mikuru.

"So little lady, what can I do you for?"

[Arashi Zetsumei]

She explained the situation concerning the loss of a Moyoushi Citizen, displaying the Visa to him. Then she also commented about the level of Security and the risk that was posed due to the guard system. She hoped that her comments didn't make the official uneasy, thus she averted her eyes thereafter.

"Sorry..."

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

Humble. An interesting trait of this young girl, considering her body language. Of course it seemed she wanted to discuss more issues, ones which where better reserved for an office space. As such, the President would lead the girl to his office for further discussion, should she choose to follow of course. Once in the office, he'd continue to hear her out and see what could be done.

[Ack short >.>]

[Arashi Zetsumei]

Following the President she was surprised at the fact she was even able to get a word in with this man. He was the Leader of this City but no sooner was she in his office, sitting down. For some reason Larene always ended up in people's offices. Just the same, he expected more information from her so she'd start with the Visa.

"Judging from this Visa, the person whom died was Hibari named Kaishin Hibari. He got himself into some trouble in the Shinobi world, upon being interrogated by myself about it, he resisted and we got into a fight. I had to take his life out of self-defense. I didn't realize he was actually just a civilian until I gain possesion of this item. I'm truly sorry for this, after going through the city, I realized how peaceful a place this was...for somebody like him to be so far from home..."

She was choking up on her words now, regret was clearly felt. Though it was the life of a Shinobi, the path of this kunoichi.

"If I can make it up to this city, his family, I'd like to do so."

The last part was added, though she looked away once more.

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

Normally for such an act against one of their people, they'd have thrown her in jail or got her killed. At least, depending on what nation she was from. Yet the President didn't like Mikuru's faction and admittedly knew the boy all too well. Thus he proposed something more suitable. He wanted her to live here and work for Moyoushi City. At least that's what he explained on the outside. On the inside, he was considering to manipulate her much more for his own ambitions. Thus he'd write up a 'job' for Larene, it'd be a rather long one at that:

Name: Moyoushi Promoter
Rank: S
IIC Length: 2 Days
Difficulty: Hard (Death-enabled)
Description: The President has created a new contract job in the form of a Promoter. The focus of the promoter is to give information about the City and it's services to at least three Kages. If more can be done, Bonus pay (from the treasury) will be awarded in the form of 5000 per additional Kage spoken to.
Objective: Promote Moyoushi to Kage's of hidden VillageS (3)
Reward:10 000 Ryo

"Of course, this will mean you'll need a new Visa oh and here."

He'd ring a bell which summoned an attendant. This attendant would bring forth a map. This map contained marked villages.

"Have a look at those and use them as your bargaining tool."

He'd smile after that, awaiting the girl's response.
