Academy to Tower

[Kuro]

As the Jounin would take control, her orders passed out the bird would fly up high while the red haired Chuunin had gone to close the gates. The bird would see nothing more than the Village skyline at first. The grand Raikage's tower would stand tall and glorious in the midst of this war. There was a straight major street running directly from the side of the academy to the Tower. This would most likely be their best bet. The distance was roughly one kilometer, eight city blocks, at each block was a cross street and a chance for trouble. Though for now the street seemed empty. Golden transports would be dropping men in various locations along the path but none on that street.

"If we can move these kids all at once we'd be better off getting it done quickly. Though I understand that taking the risk of moving such a large group at once. I'm under direct orders to follow your orders," the Teacher would say as he would remain nervous, constantly worrying about the twenty kids he had within the Academy. If they had to absolutely remain in the building they could, but it was a beacon to attack.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

Her avian companion flied down from the building a minute later or so. "What did you see Daiki-kun?" inquired the female. "The bad news are that there is some aerial thing that seems to drop off people around in the village" started Daiki with a somber voice.
Her eyes widened in fear after hearing the news. Were these people being dropped off by something that flied in the AIR!?

"The good news are that there are no people at the main road that goes to the Raikage tower from here. But maybe the men will arrive soon" informed the animal. Marii started to think about what they had to do to get the kids out here.
'All right...we've closed off the gates now plus that we know a little about our enemy. Not to mention that the main road is free for now' thought the young woman.

"If we can move these kids all at once we'd be better off getting it done quickly. Though I understand that taking the risk of moving such a large group at once. I'm under direct orders to follow your orders," informed the older male.
"Well, I think I have an idea that may work. Come a bit closer please" told the Jounin with a low voice.

One of her kage bunshins gestured Okuda to come closer as well. "I have a summon contract with a family of large birds. Each bird can easily have four kids plus one of the ANBU's on their back.
All of the large birds are quite good at ninjutsu as well as taijutsu or genjutsu. I thought we could use smoke bombs combined with strong genjutsus to confuse the ground soldiers" started the female.

"Daiki-kun also told that there was some machine that dropped soldiers out in the distance. If we have to, it will be easier to destroy them if we're in the air. The bad news are that birds at the size of a large cart won't be very discreet.
One option will be to escort the kids at the ground and then have the birds attack soldiers approaching us. The downside is that they may attack us at all angles" continued the brunette.

"Those are the best plans I can come up with now. At least on such a short notice. I am however willing to listen to your plans...I don't enjoy to act like a bossypants" laughed the young woman.
She remained silent until the other two came up with their opinions or suggestions. Three minds worked better than one after all.

Okuda then noticed one of those in ANBU armor approach him and signal him to go to where Marii-san was. When he got there he listened as she explained the two plans that she had thought up to the group, and whilst he knew they were good they were doomed to fail, at least as far as he could see. “Marii-san, your plans are good, but a distraction would be a good idea to, I think if I were to go and attack a large group and draw them as far from the path we’ll take then we should be able to get the kids to safety.” Okuda looked at those around him, he knew that it sounded like he was being overconfident, but in reality he was signing up for a suicide mission, the chances of him surviving weren’t too high, but as far as he knew the enemy had no aptitude for anything but hand to hand. Okuda let his left hand and arm rest along the length of his Katana, his senses focused everywhere and nowhere, keeping an eye out for any approaching opponents. Okuda knew that the chance of Marii or the others coming up with something better was slim to none, and he knew that they would most likely end up going with his plan.

[Kuro]

The group would begin to formulate a plan, though the time was of the essence. The red haired swordsman offered to martyr himself for the cause, though the woman had not spoken of the clear path yet. "The idea seems solid, we haven't seen any air born attacks, just transports," the teacher would say. His voice seemed worried as if each passing second would make the male that much more nervous.

Sorry for the delay followed by the crappy post.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

((OOC: Feel free to tell me if you have other ideas Okuda. PM me if they are lengthy!))

"Marii-san, your plans are good, but a distraction would be a good idea too. I think if I were to go and attack a large group and draw them as far from the path we’ll take then we should be able to get the kids to safety" suggested the younger male. "The idea seems solid, we haven't seen any air born attacks, just transports" informed the older guy.
'What to do now...' thought the female while she closed her eyes. Her brain was working as hard as possible to find out a plan that could work.

Okuda was a taijutsu specialist that had speed as well as strength on his side. But their enemies were clad in armour plus that they were probably quite good in taijutsu too. Chances were big that they would use their strength in numbers in order to overpower him.
'I need to find a way to get all of the kids out here without them attacking us or killing Okuda-kun. But how should I get to the Raikage tower without them attacking us!?' thought Marii.

An idea then started to form in her head. "I think I have an idea of how to get the kids out of here. Please come closer to me Okuda-kun" told the young woman while the closest kage bunshin gestured the guy to come closer.
"I thought I could summon four or five birds that would carry me and the kids to the Raikage tower. But we're not doing that until stage one is completed" started the Jounin.

"Stage one is when my troop members are placing long-range genjutsus around the gate. This should hopefully confuse the enemy long enough to load the kids onto the birds. Stage two is when some of my troop members and yourself will scout the area.
My troop members task is to use long-range genjutsus on the road to the tower to confuse the enemy. Since you know about the illusions, it will give you a massive advantage in the fight" told the female.

"My birds are going to use a genjutsu to keep themselves more hidden or looking different. I should be able to tell you where the enemies are since I'm flying above. Daiki-kun as well as Shiori-chan are going to assist you from the house roofs" finished the brunette.
She would then look at her avian animal companion. "How did the road to the Raikage tower look like?" inquired the young woman.

"Uhm...it was not very long really. I could see the tower clearly from where I was. There were however some smaller roads that crossed with the big one"[/color] replied Daiki.
"Did you see any enemies close to us?" asked Marii. "No" said the Coopers hawk.[/size]

[奥田 (Okuda)]

[atrb=width,450px,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][bg=d43e49] By Naota When Marii had told Okuda to come closer, he did she took the time to listen to his suicidal plan, and he owed her the same respect, and not just because she was his direct superior in rank and experience. Okuda then listened to her two stage plan, it was heavily based on Genjutsu and in theory should work if the enemy didn’t realize what had happened too quickly. “Marii-san, might I suggest you have a Genjutsu that makes them think a large armed force is charging down the path? It might dissuade them from attacking or at the very least confuse them into not knowing what is real and what is fake allowing me to better fight them and give you the time you need in order to get the children to the tower safely.” Okuda then looked at the people in the small huddle, they didn’t have long before the enemies would come and break in to the area, whatever they did would have to be done soon. Okuda then waited for the final word from Marii. ((Ok, I will, also lets get this show on the road lol, we’ve basically got the enemy standin’ at the gates twiddlin’ their thumbs! Lol, so shall we start this with a bang?)) SPOILER: Click to show Kokoromanako and Jissentoku are still active

[Kuro]

The plan would become more known to the group as Marii would devise her attack ideas. Okuda would throw out his own opinions of the idea. The Teacher would remain quiet for now, his nervous composure stayed the same, though he would have faith in the plan. He just feared what these monsters might do to the defenseless children, should they ever get an opportunity. For now their path would remain vacant, no patrols had crossed the road, perhaps now would be the best time to take the plan into action.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

((OOC: Since kage bunshins can bleed, I assume they can summon too. I suppose there are about 100-120 metres between each crossroad due to the distance stated previously. PM me if I'm wrong please. Sorry for the long post!))

"All right guys. We're going to summon one of the smaller birds plus four of the larger ones. Then, we're going to plant genjutsus all over the main street that goes to the Raikage tower. Those dunces wouldn't have an idea of what hit them" muttered the female. She prayed that this idea would work since this was the best option to get the kids to the tower.

"Please tell the kids to line up in four lines. Place the five smallest kids in one line while the others can be mixed" told Marii as she looked at the teacher. "Tell my clones how many crossroads there are" said the young woman while looking at her avian animal companion.
He nodded before he soared towards the sky. She then removed a kunai from her weapon pouch before she whispered the name of the summon that each kage bunshin had to summon.

Four of the kage bunshins turned around a second later, now standing in a circle. All of them received a cut in their thumb just moments after. "Stand back everyone!" yelled the Jounin while her kage bunshins did an identical sets of handseals.
"KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU!" stated four of the clones before they slammed their hand into the ground. Four gigantic puffs of smoke appeared moments later.

Each puff of smoke cleared up within seconds to revealing five enormous birds. A great-horned owl, a white-tailed eagle, a snowy owl as well as a gyrfalcon appeared moments later. "What is going on?" yawned the smallest owl while he looked around.
"This is an emergency. Kumogakure is being attacked and I need help to transport the children here to the Raikage tower" explained the female while she stood behind one of her clones.

One of her clones turned towards the children while her animal companion landed in front of one of the kage bunshins. "I counted the crossroads. There are eight of them in total" informed Daiki.
"We better go guys...you too Okuda" told one of her kage bunshins while she looked towards their male teammate.

Four of the clones would then jog towards the gate with her male teammate. They were going to set up the genjutsus while the brunette was preparing the children.
"PLEASE LISTEN UP KIDS! I WANT THE LINE WITH THE SMALLER CHILDREN TO CLIMB UP ON THE SMALLEST OWL HERE!" yelled the brunette while her kage bunshin pointed at the great-horned owl. She tried to not speak TOO loud in case the intruders were getting close.

"LINE NUMBER TWO ARE GOING TO RIDE ON THE LARGE OWL. THE THIRD LINE WILL USE THE GYRFALCON AND LINE FOUR ARE USING THE EAGLE! NO FIGHTING UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO KICK YOU OUT OF HERE!" exclaimed the young woman as her kage bunshin pointed at the two other birds.
All of the giant birds sat down so the kids could climb up on them. Hopefully, this would not take long if they did as they were told.


At the other side of the gates.

The quartet of kage bunshins had jumped over to the other side of the gate. There were nobody there so far.
"All right...here's what we're going to do. I'm going to cast a genjutsu that will create a pattern that makes our enemies unable to move. The illusion will have a range on 50 meters and I am going to hide close to the gates" told the clone.

"My companions are going to plant an illusion at crossroad three and five. Those illusions makes them see horrifying creatures and has a radius of 40 meters. Those creatures are going to look like zombies or something along those lines to make it more scary" told the kage bunshin.
"The genjutsu we're planting at crossroad seven is the same as crossroad one. This should confuse our enemies enough to let you attack them easier" finished the clone.

All of them then did the same hand seal combination before they vanished. Four of them would run towards their crossroad right afterwards while covering themselves in the shadows. The first kage bunshin would form the hand seals for her genjutsu immediately while clone number two would plant her genjutsu thirty seconds later.
It would take two minutes until the third genjutsu had been formed.
Four minutes later, all the genjutsus would have been casted.

Each clone would hide near where the crossroads met the main road. The redhead would hopefully have found a place to hide by now. He would most likely be immune to them for two reasons.
One: he knew about their existence. Two: the male was quite a brave person who were not affected easily by illusions.

Magen: Narakumi no jutsu (Demonic illusion: Hell viewing technique) [kage bunshin 4 and 5].
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Genjutsu.

Hitoku no jutsu [kage bunshin 2-5].
Rank: “D” Rank.
Skill: Genjutsu.
Effect: ---
Special: “Handseals”.
Drawback: ---
Description: A basic ANBU genjutsu, this causes the user and the area immediately around the user (within one meter) to change in ways that would better aid the user in hiding. For example, in a darkened area the shadows will seem to converge on and around the ANBU, further hiding him from sight. In a forested area, the technique would discolour the user to better blend him in with the surroundings, as well as altering the plants in the area to better shield him. Note that all of these effects are purely illusionary; the shadows in the first example, the discolouration and the plant alteration of the second example. The jutsu works primarily because it is subtle, taking little chakra and having a small localized effect, even those who could pierce the illusion rarely give it enough notice to do so. Depending on the level of the character's genjutsu depends on how strong the jutsu.
Limit: ANBU only.
Division: Universal techniques.

[atrb=width,450px,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][bg=d43e49] By Naota With a simple leap, Okuda would be over the gate and landing softly on the ground alongside the four ANBU clad Kage Bunshins, Okuda then listened to the ‘lead’ clone as it spoke of the plan, though Okuda didn’t know that those he was with were clones, he listened intently as the plan was laid out in hushed tones so the enemy couldn’t hear them. When it was time to implement the plan, Okuda ran towards the space between the first and second crossroads, where there was a small point that the genjutsu wouldn’t cover and hid himself in the bushes, though this hurt his pride as a swordsman it was necessary for the defense of the village. Okuda would lay, or rather stand, in wait. Waiting for the enemies to get into the genjutsu and be easy targets for his blade. SPOILER: Click to show Kokoromanako and jissentoku are still active

[Kuro]

As Marii's plan began to truly take action the kids would get to see one of the grandest techniques a shinobi can learn. The summoning of the great birds would probably inspire hope and courage into the young academy kids. Though Marii would quickly create order amongst them call for the line up to first have the smallest and then after that they could mix up the sizes. All while this was happening the Kagebunshin and Okuda would head off to their location, though they had to make their movements swift. Thanks to their concealment techniques they'd be hidden from site far better than the random patrols could ever hope to notice. As they all reached their position they would await the proper timing to use the techniques that they had agreed upon before setting out.

Meanwhile back with the children, the lines had formed rather quickly and orderly, they weren't talking much due to fear, but at the same time they seemed confident that the Village of Cloud would protect them. Soon enough the children would all be loaded up onto the birds "The children are all loaded up Ms AnBu," the teacher would say with a respectful bow. He had a smile on his face to see this plan starting up, the kids really did have a chance to make it out of this strife alive. It wouldn't belong before the caravan would set out it seemed and it was just at this point that a patrol would arrive at the 2nd crossroads. Three grunts katana's held in their right hands. They'd be coming from the left side and head towards the right. This path was not encased by Genjutsu, so it would be a prime opportunity for Okuda to lash out and show the AnBu what being a samurai was all about.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

((OOC: Cue MY theme: Action!))

"The children are all loaded up Ms AnBu," told the older guy before he gave her a respectful bow. 'Really? That was quick' thought the female as she looked at the four birds.
All of them were loaded with Academy children who looked a bit uncertain. There was however a glimmer of trust in their eyes...she better not prove them wrong.

Her avian companion then landed in front of her. "Everyone has lined up" stated Daiki with a clear voice. "Good...I would like you to assist my assistants if necessary" replied Marii with a small smile at her face.
He flied off while the other animal companion climbed up a nearby tree in order to get out. Both of the animals would then hide near the kage bunshin that was near the gates.

She ended her genjutsu while her kage bunshin climbed up at the smallest owl there. "Please use your invisibility genjutsu to hide my helper Keiteki! Don't attack unless you have to!" told the Jounin as she seated herself at the neck of the large bird.
The great horned owl nodded before he touched the kage bunshin. She disappeared completely from sight moments later.

"Here are the orders. We're going to fly to the top of the Raikage tower. Those of you who know taijutsu MUST stay alert!
Keep an eye on the ground and DO NOT hesitate to attack if you see any threats! The only exception is for my assistant who must try to avoid the jutsus at all costs" informed the female.

"We're going to fly in a V-formation. I'll be at the front, Yuki-san is at the left while Ryoushi-san will be at my right. Keiteki is going to be at the middle between us" ordered the brunette.
The birds used a minute to regroup until they were ready. "We'll be twenty meters above the ground with seven meters between each bird" stated the young woman.

All of the summons took a couple steps backwards. "3...2...1...FLY!" shouted the female. The four birds flapped their wings while they ran towards the gate. Kaiou flied towards the skies with the other three right behind.
The quartet would be twelve meters above the ground as they flied over the gates. They were gaining height fast and all of them were ready for possible attacks.

All of the kage bunshins down below were ready for fight. But the downside was that the jutsus had already taken a toll at their chakra. Hopefully, their taijutsu skills plus the genjutsus would be enough to kill them.
Both of the animals started to hiss as they heard the enemies at the second crossroad. 'Here they come...!' thought the kage bunshin at the Academy gate as she prepared herself.

Jutsus used:

Kaiou and Ryoushi:

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense).
Rank: "A" Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
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 Brawler 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. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. 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 can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Brawler.


Keiteki:

Invisibility.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Genjutsu.
Effect: The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from dark vision.
Special: “Handseals”.
Drawback: The jutsu ends if the subject attacks any creature. If the user who performs the technique attacks, the invisibility sphere ends.
Description: The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from dark vision. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, that vanishes, too. If the user casts the jutsu on someone else, neither you nor your allies can see the subject, unless those are capable of seeing through genjutsus. Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. Light, however, never becomes invisible, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no visible source). Any part of an item that the subject carries but that extends more than 10 feet from it becomes visible. Of course, the subject is not silenced, and certain other conditions can render the recipient detectable (such as stepping in a puddle). Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the jutsu. Causing harm indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge, remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so forth.
Limit: Must know Glamour Perception of genjutsus. Must know Limited Invisibility.

Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of going into this depending on what type of animal helper they have.

Limit: This technique must be known multiple times. The user however must have a helper that is according to the correct speech. What this means is if the user has an animal helper of the canine breed, then they are capable of communicating within a speech form towards that type. If the user has a helper of the birds of prey breed, then they are capable of communicating within a speech form towards that type. Must have completed all basis of the animal helper performance.

Heightened perception.
Rank: “S” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: By analyzing and keeping an eye on the opponent's shoulder and foot work the user is able to predict movements and grab a feel of when attacks are going to come by making the Krav maga fighter a more proficient fighter.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of predicting movements’ one rank below then what they have learned. The user is only capable of predicting movements that are taijutsu based. Any other type of movements cannot be predicted.
Description: The way this technique works is that the user observes certain points of areas of the opponent's body such as the shoulders, thighs, and hips. Since attacks are focused on these points they are capable of making educational guesses towards points of contact that may occur within these certain points. This type of technique is a study where the user is capable of watching an opponent's movements for a brief moment of time predicting taijutsu techniques. When the user first learns this technique they are capable of predicting techniques of “D” rank capability.

Sekondo nen (Second sense) [10+20].
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
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 Brawler 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. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. 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 can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a brawler.

[奥田 (Okuda)]

[atrb=width,450px,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][bg=d43e49] By Naota (Okuda's combat theme for now: link ) Okuda would see the trio of enemies running up the alley h e was guarding, they all had Katana’s in their hands and were combat ready, or at least as far as Okuda could tell they were. He wasted no time, and charged forward once they were in range of him, he ran at them straight down the middle and unsheathed his blade at a speed that can only be described as beyond god-like, aiming to slice all three of them in half. If they blocked the attack or barely dodged it, he would spin around as a sudden vacuum began to fill with air. As the space once occupied by not even air would fill in the three men would be drawn in closer and he would finish his spin, slicing through the three of them. If any of the three survived the attack Okuda would turn towards the person or people and sheath his blade so fast that it would create a sound so loud that if they weren’t beyond fifteen meters they would be stunned for a short period of time. Whilst they would be stunned, Okuda would remove his sheath from his waist and charge once more. Once he got close he would unsheathe his blade at a speed that was slower than before and slash at the those who survived, this time his sheath trailing it by mere seconds, though the opponents would most likely not notice the sheath as most fighters who use swords don’t use the sheath in combat. SPOILER: Click to show Gosei Ryuu: Battōjutsu Ōgi - Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki (天翔龍閃, Ōgi - Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki) Rank: "S" Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: The Amakakeru Ryū No Hirameki must be faster than a regular battōjutsu in order to hit the opponent. Special: --- Drawback: User could cut off their own leg since they are stepping with their off foot. Description: The secret behind the technique lays in an additional step with the left (off) foot. This single step alone adds instantaneous acceleration and weight to the sword changing the god-like speed of Burēdono Kenseijin - ブレードの剣聖人 - Blade of the Sword Saint to "Beyond god-like speed". However, this extra step is difficult to take as one of the fundamental teaching of battōjutsu states that one should step forward with the right foot as to avoid cutting their own foot with the attack. As such, the additional step forward with the left foot can spell certain death for the swordsman, as it takes precise timing to coordinate, as to not lose any momentum while drawing; it requires the utmost concentration that can only be obtained by one's desire to live. There is another secret to this technique. If the initial strike is avoided or blocked, the force of the unusually fast slashing motion displaces the air around it, generating a vacuum in its wake and sucking the opponent in. As this happens, the body is spun around for a second strike, the previous action adding force and momentum to the swing, making the subsequent strike far stronger. This is the true power of the Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki. This technique is so fast that its implementation can be successful even when the enemy's strike has actually reached the user's body. This technique may be learned multiple times. Each time learned it increases in power adding an extra "S" Rank of power. Limit: Must Learn from a Master of Burēdono Kenseijin - ブレードの剣聖人 - Blade of the Sword Saint, Must know Gosei Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade), Must have mastered Burēdono Kenseijin - ブレードの剣聖人 - Blade of the Sword Saint After if anyone survives the Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki Gosei Ryuu: Ryūmeisen (Dragon Howl Strike) Rank: "C" Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: When the sword hilt connects with the sheath, the god-speed sheathing produces a sonic boom that temporarily stuns an opponent's auditory nerve, impairing their hearing and equilibrium. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: The user sheaths their blade with such speed that when the hilt connects with the beginning of the sheath it emits a strong sonic wave that temporarily stuns an opponent's auditory nerve, impairing their hearing, and messes with their equilibrium disrupting their balance. When the user learns this technique it is only capable of emitting the sound within a distance of 5 meters radius as it may disrupt balance and hearing impairment for an amount of 2 rounds. For each class level the user is higher than "D" Class the distance increases 5 meters in diameter however the amount of rounds of displacement does not increase. Limit: Must Learn from a Master of Burēdono Kenseijin - ブレードの剣聖人 - Blade of the Sword Saint, Must know Gosei Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade) Gosei Ryuu: Battōjutsu Soryūsen (Art of Sword-drawing, Double Dragon Strike) Rank: "C" Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: As Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade), but with a follow-up attack utilizing the sheath as its secondary strike. This second swing covers the period of vulnerability left after a normal battōjutsu. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: A variation technique. The user does not have their sword attached to their belt but holds the whole sword with one hand near where the sheath begins, just a few inches away from the hilt of the sword. The user then performs the Gosei Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade) technique however continues to swing as they swing the sheathe as well aiming to slam into the opponent with a smaller amount of destructive force that is equal to this rank's technique. It is a less destructive technique, however it helps negate the drawback that Gosei Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade) comes with. Limit: Must Learn from a Master of Burēdono Kenseijin - ブレードの剣聖人 - Blade of the Sword Saint, Must know Gosei Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade) Kokoromanako and Jissentoku still active

So it would begin, the owls would begin to take flight, fully loaded with kids and Marii. The teacher would remain behind in case of any stragglers looking for safety. Though just as the birds would leave over the gate, Okuda would launch into action. His first lunge would be successful to cleave through the closest two, they had been moving in a pyramid shape. Those two would hit the ground, severe blood loss would take their lives within seconds. Though as Okuda landed the third grunt would slash towards him, they were only a meter apart if even that. Face to face, just then Okuda would use a technique erupting an ear shattering sound. Though the grunt's attack was already in progress. The quick strike technique would slash from left to right in Okuda's perspective, though it wasn't a hopeless position. Should he continue with his onslaught of techniques he'd take this hit for sure.

Rough Estimates of Your Chakra/Stamina Levels.

Marii
Chakra Levels - 25% perhaps less.
Stamina Levels - Are affected by the overall use of chakra.

Okuda
Stamina Level - 55% energy left.
Chakra Level - No idea of you're chakra molding or not.

These are estimates to play off for the RP, any questions on it send me a PM.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

((OOC: 25% is fine with me since I've used kage bunshins plus keeping my Ryuugan active for so many posts))

"Kami..!" hissed the female as they started to gain height. All those jutsus had really taken a strain at her small body. She had not felt so low in chakra in a VERY long time.
Her eyes looked down at the streets below them. Her stomach churned slightly when she saw the male cut up three soldiers like they were made out of thin wood.

"How far away are we from the Raikage tower Kaiou-san?" inquired Marii as she looked down at the head of the giant animal. "We are about 900 meters away from the tower I suppose. We should be able to get there in less than ten minutes if we can keep up the speed" replied Kaiou.
"Great...thanks Kaiou-san" replied the young woman with a smile. She then looked over at the kids who were sitting at the nearby birds.

Most of them had a frightened yet an excited look at their faces. Few of them had probably flied on birds as large as these. The Jounin slipped on her goggles to see how her kage bunshins were doing.
'I suppose number one is doing fine since the guards did not get that far. Number two as well as number three are still there' thought the female as she zoomed in on them.

A part of her felt a bit bad leaving her animal companions behind, but it was for their own good. Shiori would not be much use up here while Daiki could not offer much help. They would be better off at the ground in case Okuda needed any help.
'I hope he does not need any though. But he got the kage bunshins in case he gets in trouble' thought the brunette.

She then turned on her communication device before switching to channel 4. "This is Seiryuu calling. Can you hear me?" said the young woman.
"We can hear you loud and clear Seiryuu" replied the man at the other end. "I'm on my way to the central tower with a bunch of chibi shinobis...we're traveling above the ground" informed Marii.

"Wait, above the ground?" exclaimed the man. The female winced since her ryuugan gave her more sensitive hearing. "We have some big friends to help us" replied the Jounin.
'Big friends' was code for 'summons' while 'chibi shinobis' was a bit of slang for Genins or kids at the Academy. "I see...do you need any medical assistance?"[/i] inquired the other shinobi.

"I think I may need some since my chakra levels are really low. We have not been attacked yet, but we will try to keep damages to a minimum" continued the young woman.
"We will get some medics or froggies to pick you up when you reach the tower. Over"[/i] ended the male at the other end.

The fleet of birds were now about 850 meters away from the Raikage tower. They were moving at a steady speed while the kage bunshins were ready for possible attacks.
'We can't afford to drop our guard now. I would not be able to forgive myself if one of the kids lost their life' thought the brunette as she adjusted her goggles. Her chakra may be low, but she had her birds plus her clones to help her out if needed.[/size]

Short synopsis:

- Presumed time lapse: About 2 minutes.
- No attacks have been made so far. The birds are about 850 meters away from the Raikage tower. PM me if the distance should be shorter. Please keep in mind that these birds are quite big and are able to fly quite fast.
- Marii, her birds plus her kage bunshins are prepared for possible incoming attacks.
- Marii is wearing her goggles.
- Her animal companions are with her kage bunshins at the gates.
- The genjutsu near the Academy gates should be working. Same with crossroad three. Crossroad five plus crossroad seven are not covered by a genjutsu yet. PM me if I'm wrong and I'll edit this.
- The kage bunshins hiding at the crossroads are invisible due to the hitoku no jutsu. The one sitting at Keiteki is disguised by the invisibility genjutsu used in the previous post.

[atrb=width,450px,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][bg=d43e49] By Naota As the third enemy attacked Okuda, he had already started his Soryūsen with a deft movement of his sword Okuda would catch the man’s blade on his own and bring his sword to the man’s neck in an attempt to shatter the neck between cervical disks on his neck. The man’s stunned status would make all of this easier for Okuda. The stunning attack of the Dragon’s Howl Strike would make the man’s continued attack slower and less coordinated as any experienced swordsman or even fighter would know. The man wouldn’t notice Okuda’s subtle changes in his body. Should his plan have worked and Okuda shattered the spinal disks from C2 to C4, the man would be paralyzed from the neck, and in a world of pain like no other. Okuda would then walk over to the man’s body that would have crumpled to the floor and take his Katana and put the man out of his misery, by shoving the blade first through his chest and pulling the bloodied sword out and then slicing the man’s head off ending his life in a sudden manner, so sudden that the blood would simply pour out of the area with a great fury, like a river. Okuda would swing his blade, sending the blood on his blade to the ground, and then he’d sheath his sword, letting it rest at his side. The man would have shown great potential as a swordsman, but it was his bad luck that his opponent that day was Okuda, someone considered a Master of his style.

[Kuro]

Sorry for the inactivity that I've presented to you throughout this event. Overall your strategy has been flawless as a team and you would succeed to carry the children safely to the Raikage's tower. Consider this thread complete, and I'm sorry for how long it has taken.

Check out the OOC for an update.

((OOC: FINALLY! Thanks for the good event Kuro. Great job you did there Okuda))

"Keep up the speed guys! We're doing great!" yelled the female as they came closer to the Raikage tower. All of her birds were flying at a steady speed while they kept an eye of what was happening at the ground.
It was not a pretty sight to behold since several of the guards had gone mad or been sliced up. They were now about 30 meters above the ground level.

'An altitude like this should keep us out of the range of the swords men and their weapons. They won't be able to hit us with weapons or their arrows at this height' thought Marii. She then glanced at the children behind her.
Most of them looked a bit scared since they had probably seen the soldiers. Others were more excited due to the fact that they were flying on giant birds.

"How are you doing down there?" inquired the young woman as she turned on her communication device. "We're doing great down here! They're falling like flies" replied her kage bunshin.
"Tell the kage bunshins to get to the Raikage tower immediately to report what's happening. Make sure my animal companions are coming with you" ordered the Jounin.

"Roger" finished her clone before she turned off her communication device. "There are two ANBU's on the roof Marii-san. Both of them are wearing frog masks" told Kaiou.
"Thanks for telling me Kaiou-san. I think we should start to descend now" said the female when she realized how close they were getting.

All the four birds started to descend as they approached the tower. They were now in a half-circle position that would make it easier for them to land. "HOLD ON KIDS!" shouted the brunette as the summons were spreading their wings.
Kaiou flapped his gigantic wings as he landed on the rooftop. The other three birds followed suit, all the kids clinging on to them with a somewhat scared expression.

The four summons then sat down like sitting hens so the children could climb off them."Hello kids. Please line up here so we can check you're all right" told the frog ANBU with a white cloak.
All of the children lined up in two lines while the two masked shinobis checked them. "Everyone can go down to the second floor and wait for your parents there" told the ANBU after everyone had been checked.

After the children had left, the masked shinobi looked at her. "Excellent job there Seiryuu! I suggest you get a rest at the hospital before we have a debrief" stated the frog ANBU.
"Thanks. Oh, I almost forgot something" laughed the young woman. She then turned towards the birds who was now accompanied by her kage bunshins.

"I would like my kage bunshins to use 1000 ryo each to buy some good fishes for the birds. They have truly deserved this" stated Marii. "YIPPIE!" shouted Kaiou with a happy voice.
"I'll go to the Raikage office. Tell Okuda-kun that he can meet me there...I'll go to the hospital after that" stated the young woman.

Her five kage bunshins disappeared while her birds went into cover. She then went down the stairs to speak with the Raikage. 'This should be interesting' thought the Jounin as she looked at her animal companions next to her.
Her legs were shaking a little bit while her heart was beating quite fast. Just WHY were those soldiers invading Kumogakure no sato?
