[･･･] The high-pitched ring in his ears blocked out any words Taylor may have said to Inka before her departure. But seeing her dash away was all he needed to make him feel he had least given her a chance, depite whatever failures he had done before their death... Red eyes widened, Inka's breath stuttering to a halt, at the sight of his doppleganger, reaching upward - "No, ********, don't-" Inka gagged at the combination of the pain that shot through his jaw and the sigh of himself, lower jaw hanging loosely, swaying on sinew and muscle. If it wasn't for his own strangled gasping, Inka would have thought his own jaw really had imitated the self-harm in its entirety - but his panic meant his gasps proved otherwise, despite the pain and the disgusting, gods-be-damned vibrations of his bones grating against each other. "********!" He wheezed.
"Stop it!" He cried, horrified as the attacks continued. The ******** is he meant to do?! Everything Inka knew would only backfire onto himself - his bull roarer! ******** A - he might actually have a chance at this. The dagger twirled in his hand before returning to his sheath, allowing himself to breath chakra into both fists. He waited for the explosive insects to be far enough away from his other self so that their combustion wouldn't cause... whatever ******** trickery it is that is going on to injure him further. All the while, Inka was backing up, granting them both more distance, before throwing both the balls of energy from his fists into the maw of the gaping form the insects had made out of themselves. What little, tiny blast the jutsu caused, it would hopefully be enough to cause the chain reaction of all the others. As soon as the katon chakra had left his hands, Inka was reaching for both his bullroarer and his smoke pellets. The instrument was being spun as soon as it was drawn, filling the air with its metal howls in a short, fluctuating song, channeling his energy as smoke burst and rose from his feet, obscuring him - until the dragon-insects exploaded, sweeping away the smoke and revealing nothing there.
Inka threw the bullraorer at his opponent's back, its straight projectory meaning it moved in near silence compared the bouncing echoes of its recent calls. The Jounin had moved himself from being in front of his doppleganger to be at his back, with enough distance between them to give Inka enough time to flee again if this plan, what would probably be his final plan, failed. As the sharp edges of the bullroarer impacted into his clones back, Inka would gasp in pain, but still his left hand held onto the rope that connected himself to his other, all the while his right hand was again tirling the dagger, channelling chakra down and into the clone, and simultanously pulling near double of the amount out. The chakra being pushed in, right near the enemy's spine, should be enough to paralyse him enough from disconnecting their link...
Essentially a very simplistic jutsu that requires only two hand signs, Kihatsuseu is performed by the user by breathing a small amount of Katon [ Fire ] chakra into each hand, keeping a closed fist. The user than combines these two balls of energy by various means; dropping one on the other, slamming the two together, throwing them up into the air. However, the result this jutsu causes is minimal, enough energy to light a candle wick, or blind someone [ 1 post ] if done directly in front of the victim's face. Minor burns and scrapped skin occurs if done the two elements are combined on someone's skin. The after burn of the technique can also keep a dark area lit for a short time [ 1 post ].
The user will bring a smoke pellet to each hand, twirl them to an easily thrown position, and then slam the two against the surface beneath them. As the smokescreen rises, they will perform a hand sign, sending a quick surge of chakra throughout their body. In almost an instant, the user will escape any dangerous situation. To simplify, this is like a substitution jutsu that requires a smokescreen rather than an object to change positions with. Can only be used three times per battle. If the user is already in a smoky area, this technique does not require the use of smoke bombs.
Ishibari [ Stone Needles ] | Rank [ X ] | Cost [ 40 ] | - : -
Ishibari is a Ninjutsu technique used by Aoba. To subdue his opponent, Aoba will hurl special kunai tied with string which will penetrate into the skin of his opponent. Chakra will then run from his body into his opponent to paralyze them. This allows him to then interrogate the opponent or set up the target for a comrade's attack. Because the wire allows for the movement of chakra, it can be used by a skilled chakra absorption ninja to draw out Aoba's chakra against his will to weaken him. The technique requires a chakra weapon to be thrown, & a wire/line/thread to be connected to it. Upon impact, a surge of chakra will flow into the affected area (be it flesh, clothing, walls, etc), generally disrupting movement & paralyzing. Once contact is established with a chakra entity/source, the user may draw out an A-ranked amount of chakra per post from the target to sustain the B-ranked paralyzation cost.

[･･･] Inka had no plans beyond this point, his doppleganger pinned, and the prospect of escape hampered by the fear that this darker version of himself will just self-inflict more pain to them both. "What..." He gasped, continuing the siphoning of chakra between them both to give him the time needed to figure out the next step. "What do you want from me...? This some kind of ********' test? I don' get it!" He hissed the last words at himself more than... the other self. The seconds were draging themselves by their fingernails, and Inka's thoughts were a complete mess. But to hear a voice, neither his own or the distorted version of his own from the pinned demon, was not what he was expecting. Inka's breath hitched, and he dared to tilt his head enough to the side to peer at two figures under the gate's massive arch.
"Syy...?" He whispered in disbelief. Inka swallowed around a sudden knot in his throat. "Minowa?" The Jounin faltered. "I, I don't..."
"'hey're ah. aho' oh ie is." The disfigured gargle of Shadow Inka with his dislocated jaw was enough to irritate his gag-reflex. <********' 'ell... The Jounin's body flinched, as if he was about to wretch. It was enough for the p***k to dislodge himself from the paralysing technique. Instead of attacking, however, he just shoved his jaw back up and grinned that blood-split grin of his. "They ain't real." The monster repeated. Red eyes turned to glance back at Syy and Minowa, seeing the figures waving at him - waving him over to them... "You gonna throw it all away for a dream?"
"This is a ******** nightmare." Inka shot back, glaring.

[･･･] Nightmare Inka just stared the Jounin dead in the eye and spat out a laugh filled with cockroaches and blood. "This is what you refuse to face." It spoke, teeth smeared with ash and fluid. Inka blinked, feeling his heart shudder. "Sypher is gone, Minowa has changed, has faced the world's dark belly, and you just keep on ignoring what you really are." Inka shook his head, feeling the air leave his lungs.
"I know, all that...!" He gasped, red eyes clenched shut.
"Then face it!" It hissed, suddenly right next to Inka's ear, spit and slime coating the soft shell. Inka turned, flexed away out of instinct, shuddering as arms wound themselves around his torso. "No more daydreams, Killer." It whispered, soft, a mockery of a love-song tune. "Say it," It licked its tongue into Inka's ear, the red-eyed shinobi flinched away, his struggles a mockery of what he could actually do. "Say it!"
"Stop..." Inka gasped - only to be shaken, a clawed hand roughly gasping his chin to make him face the distant figures - so familiar in shape...
"Not until you say it." The nightmare version nipped at Inka's jawline, causing intimate memories to flash across his mind's eye. "You want to keep it all locked up, Inky-chan~? Then you gotta face the fact; your unstable bullshit will get people killed." Inka blinked, not even realising how tears streamed down his cheeks, shoaking the claws gripping his chin. "It already has. We both know it." It whispered, gore-covered lips brushing streaks across a tan cheek. Slowly, Inka leaned into the weight supporting him, giving in to the hissed whispers against his face. "Thatta start... keep going..." It encouraged, continuing to whisper a mock of loving endearments, spattered with violent glimpses of truth and stabs at his own weakness... their weakness. "That's right, my little honey drop, us." Inka shuddered in a breath.
"... How is this possib-"
"Concentrate!" It hissed before running a gentle finger over Inka's lips. Inka blinked, vision blurred, tears running silent down his face still. Again, he breathed in, lung rattling.
"You're..." The Nightmare Inka whispered an encouraging murmer into the Jounin's ear. "Me." He choked out the word, the arms wrapped around him suddenly squeezing, hands roaming to pet him. "You're me." Inka gasped. The Shadow part of himself began rocking him, gently, taking more and more of the Jounin's weight as Inka let all the words and pain flow out, finally breathing in the open air. It was exhausting, and extensive, all the while the shadowy figures of Syy and Minowa were waving him over, just out of the corner of his eye. The monstrous form of himself craddled his head under its chin, laying bloody kiss and whispering cockroaches over his skin, hand constantly carressing. And Inka let it. "I'm lost..." He admitted.

[･･･] Inka was on the ground by the end, body craddled and being rocked by the darker side of himself made flesh. As Inka had become lost in admitting to all of his sins, in finally working to accepting what he was truly made, and capable, of he had become numb to the fondling ministrations of Nightmare Inka's hands. The nails would smear blood as often draw it with nicks and scratches, cockroaches falling from its mouth with every gush of cooing endearments. Inka had buried so much so deep, and it had all left him feeling physically drained. Sated, calm, but so tired.
"If you can hear me," Inka blinked, red eyes gazing into the foggy, distorted distance. Whose voice was that? "I need everyone who has a puzzle piece to come to the office." Oh. That's right. The challenge he had heard on his arrival to this warped world. Shadow Inka purred and hummed, layed kisses along Inka's jaw as the Jounin pushed himself upright. That's right - Inka still had things to do. Turning, red eyes met black, and it was Inka's turn to grasp the other's face, leaning in without hesitation to kiss his darker side on the mouth, lips brushing with a mouthed 'thank you.' The Shadow broke into dust to be greedily inhaled. That's right. Inka looked up to the bleeding moon. Things to do. With a lethargic, unhurried air, Inka rose to his feet and called out a name.

___A crack boomed from above as the shadows came to life around Inka, the darkness twisting and screaming as they reached out for him from all directions. But it all fell to whispers as a split in reality appeared before him, tearing apart to form the triangular form of one Bob Sigma. The top hat looked crushed, burned even, and his eye looked somewhat...reptilian as he stared at the freak show before him. "Oh,look,it'sthefagagain!Ithoughtforsureyou'dbebusypoundingawayonthattomboywhenIcameback.Whatdoyouwant?Bettermakeitquick,causebigbossiscomintatownsoon!"
[･･･] As soon as the name had left his lips, the sky overheard screamed as if in retaliation. The world shuddered as the giant pounded its foot. Inka braced himself down on his knees, hands flat on the stone path while narrow red eyes remained heavenward, even as a pain-lanced voice filled the void. For a few moments Inka could only stare, trying to work out what was coming down towards the village, until it struck him as lightning - a hand. A massive palm pushing through space towards them, disturbing the air and buffetting away the thick clouds of smog, revealing sharper lines of living shadows all around. Red eyes blinked and the Jounin stood to face the source of another voice - a now all-too familiar voice.
"Mhmm," He hummed, head tilting to the side. "The way you go on about me, sounds like your looking forward to somethin'." Inka replied, voice even, eyes dark. "I'm looking for a 'key.'" He went on. "'m hoping you might know how I could get one, or where to find 'em."

___A small cane appeared in Bob's hand as he began to twirl it around, for the moment giving no shits as to Inka's tone. "Youknow,kid,liketheother'syousuckatlistening!Bigbossgaveyouinstructions,andhonestly,themoreIdealwithyouthemoreIfeelmyinsanityfallingtogether!Sohowaboutyoucuttheshitandaskthequestiononyourmind,eh?" Eye squinting in menace, the whites turning black as the black became red, the world around them grew a tiny bit louder and more chaotic as the shadows began to tear where things within them fought to sunder the barrier between them and Inka's warm, tasty flesh.
[･･･] Inka tilted his head, red eyes regarding the floating triangle before him with a small smirk. "Ya really got a hard on fer me, don'cha Darlin'?" He purred, stepping in close - Inka's right hand dashed up, blade in his grip, to bash right into the triangle's face. It's rediculous top hat flew up into an arch, its image blurring from more than just fast movements. Like a mirage fading, the hat morphed and warped, the rim of the article of clothing growing fat with a shudder, and slidding part-way up the length that shriveled, and grew shiny, like obsideon - a blade. A strange, wave-rippled blade was falling out of the air in replacement to the talking triangle's hat and the Jounin easily caught it by the hilt, red eyes trained on Bob Sigma. "A courtin' gift? I'm blushing." Inka grinned, all white teeth speckled red from his previous battle. The look and shade of Bob Sigma's yellow form was enough to tell the Jounin all he needed to know - Inka had the key he was looking for. A crushed smoke pellet in his hand and Inka was enshrouded in smoke, the key twirling in his hand and a surge of chakra taking his form elsewhere, away from Bob, and away from this... birthplace.

The user will bring a smoke pellet to each hand, twirl them to an easily thrown position, and then slam the two against the surface beneath them. As the smokescreen rises, they will perform a hand sign, sending a quick surge of chakra throughout their body. In almost an instant, the user will escape any dangerous situation.

A heavy sigh escaped the redheads lips. So far it had been four days since she crossed the border into the land of water. At first it wasnt bad, lots of trees and different landscapes then she was used to in Kumogakure. It almost reminded her of when she was touring before she became a shinobi. That was right about the time that the fog had set in, the perpetual, annoying, stupid fog. More than once she had found herself at the top of a tree with a map and a compass making sure she was still going the right way.
All of which compiled into her current situation. Stuck in, what she guessed, was the middle of a gi-freaking-gantic bridge. Letting out a heavy sigh she brushed her hair back over her ear and out of her face as she looked around her. According to her map she was in the right place to meet with the Mizukage's people to finish her transfer but all she saw was a metric ton of fog. Not even normal fog at that, it was dark and eerie. Something inside her screamed to run but she could not pin down what it was nor why she should run.
Taking a deep breath she absently rubbed her arm as if she was cold, wait. Why was she cold? It was supposed to be warm here so why was she so freezing cold all of a sudden. Her thoughts turned inwards for a moment, Ninjutsu? Could ninjutsu even do that? There was some reference to cold based clans she had come across during her search for information on the Uzumaki but they were all supposed to come from the north.
Shaking her head absently she nodded rubbing her shoulders again. First she needed to deal with the freaking fog then whatever came after that. Closing her eyes she formed a seal quickly and opened her eyes. As her soft sapphire eyes began to glow softly, the fog before her began to clear. In that instant she regretted that choice more than anything she had ever done.
Her arms fell to her side, her shoulders loose and limp. Upon her face was a look she had never worn before, fear, true and pure fear. Everything was wrong, the bloody clouds, oh and she somehow manged to miss the giant hand that covered literally every aspect of her view. It looked like it could have been moving towards her but she couldn't really tell simply from the sheer scope of the thing.
Though the wind that came next certainly answered that question for her. When it hit it tore at her hair and dress pulling her hair free from the band that held it causing it to fan out behind her. Adjusting her stance she endured it easily enough. After all she was used to the ridiculous storms and winds that always seemed to permeate Kumogakure. That was just another day in the park. Though when she opened her eyes back up she, again, wished that she had not. The bridge she stood upon was like something out of a nightmare, a pure fear filled, horror-scape made just for one.
All around her she could see the frozen bodies of the dead civilians in Kumogakure. Stepping back, mouth agape, she bumped into another frozen man. This time it was the man who she had tripped on, the first dead man she had ever seen. Falling onto her rear she quickly dug the heels of her highheals into the bridge and scrambled away from the man.... Only to bump right into a pile of bodies. The pile she had made when she was trying to gather up the dead. The blank looks on her faces brought naught but terror back to the young woman. Instinctively she let out a shrill scream as she attempted to clamber away from the bodies.
No matter where she went she simply kept running into more and more bodies, more and more ghosts she had tried so damn hard to bury. Sitting up she curled her legs up to her chest and through shaky hands attempted to form a seal and stop her chakra. It HAD to be a genjutsu, thats what this was. Some sort of horrible attempt at a sick welcoming party. Once she managed to stop her chakra she opened her eyes once more to find naught but the same horrifying scene before her. "Its an illusion it has to be!" Pulling up the sleeve of her arm she bit hard on her right arm causing the sickeningly sweet copper taste of blood to seep into her mouth.
Letting out a soft whimper of pain she again opened her eyes. As before, naught but the same horror-scape. Another whimper escaped her throat as her entire body went soft and she slid down onto her side curled up into a ball. "It's real. Its all real again... it cant be real but it is real...."
From her little red ball a small sound escaped her lips. Forcing her lungs to give voice she softly began to sing, though the tone and pitch were shaking just as much as her,"I get so deep inside I don't think I'll be coming out alive. I tell myself that everything's all right but I can't believe it when I know it's a lie. All of reality starts to disappear again when I'm stuck inside my head. Someone get me out of it!"
It was now that small strings of tears began to streak from her sapphire eyes as she repeated the words again and again hoping beyond hope that something could stop this. That her hell would end.
So it was that seconds stretched on to minutes and minutes became hours. Though even from her position curled up and in tears she could see the brilliant light coming from the center of the village. Its waves washed over the ground banishing the darkness and shaking everything ruthlessly.
When the skys finally parted, she finally gave in to the first and foremost desire of her body, to sleep. Right then and there on the spot alongside the road. Normally she would be far to "proud" to ever even consider it but right now, she just wanted to sleep. To shut down her mind and body for a time and to attempt to even process the events that had just unfolded around her. Within the confines of her mind she began the long slow process of sorting through the events of the last few hours. Part of her knew that what she had experienced was unnatural and indeed terrifying but her training dictated how she should have dealt with it. Instead of remaining calm and rational she allowed her fear to get the best of her and it shut her down for it.
After a time she finally managed to gather up the strength to push herself up off the ground. Once she was back on her feet she took stock of her surroundings and, was way off on her previous estimation of her location. Letting out a light sigh she quickly set about fixing her hair and her makeup as well as smoothing out her dress. Now that she was "presentable" she progressed forwards towards the utterly titanic gate. Thought the first odd thing she noticed was the fact that said gate was wide open, immediately after that thought she noticed that the place was entirely devoid of people... So slowly walking through the gate she took care not to do anything that would cause anyone that might be in hiding to consider her an aggressor.
Once she was now firmly on the other side of the gate she continued forwards towards the docks. To her understanding there was a giant tree in the center of the village which held her objective. With nobody to commission a boat from she simply walked to the end of a dock and stepped lightly into a row boat. Letting out a soft sigh she took the oars in hand and began to row her way towards the giant tree and whatever awaited her inside.

Panting heavily, Nozomi's eyes scanned the area behind the hood. Okay. He said west... her eyes went over to the rising sun. The opposite of the rising sun. She used this common knowledge to help her find the way. Her hands started to pat down the wall to see if there's anything different. "Please," She called out to the bugs to the surrounding areas, "If there's a hidden way to the path where I can take... let me know..." Honestly, Nozomi was nervous. So many times she failed and the Mizukage was giving her this task!? Why did he pick her?! Jack could chose Inka, someone with more experience.... or or... someone who did screw things up and nearly killed their own ally by accident. Her heart twisted with guilt but she shook her head, no time to think about that. She continued to look for any signs of a small gateway as well listened for the bugs of the area to give her any hints.
Butterfly Kisses - Nozomi is able to cast her genjutsu, if they are touch based, through her insects. She makes the handsigns, but the jutsu is delivered by the insects. Example, if Nozomi have six insects on six people, all would be affected by her genjutsu. It would cost 2 ranks less per person to use. Such as if the technique is A-rank, it would cost C-rank chakra per person. While the cost of the technique drops two rank, so does the power.
Class Discipline/Personal Attribute:
Mother's Heart - Nozomi is able to communicate with anything living that is of the Arthropoda phylum order. She can gather Intel from the Arthropoda phylum creatures that is within 10 meters radius, usually used to track someone down.

A small hiss would be her first hint that something nearby had changed. This was hastily followed by a malignant sounding crack as the stones of the great wall near her shook free from molded borders to release the door between. A large set of double doors, intricately carved with imagery that twisted and boggled the mind, hurting the eyes of those who gazed too long, the mortar fell away as it shook and, slowly, opened before her. Within she would find a darkness with the scent of old dirt, otherwise described as "dank", though from appearance the place seemed made of white marble. Within she would see a strange, ugly design etched into the white stone that spread off into tunnels on either side as tall as a man stood, though where it let was unknown. Darkness was all the answer she would receive that direction. As for the strange etchings on the surface, however, it would appear to be written in some sort of dark, scarlet color that had been drawn with a careful hand, despite the narrow band being at least four feet across and the lines nearly three inches thick throughout. What it could do, what it was meant to do, remained unknown, but the darkness of whatever fell ink it used seemed to burn with the internal head of a demon.

Her head spun the moment she heard a soft hiss sound nearby. Slowly, she silently placed her foot onto the ground; each step so quiet that even she can't hear her own footsteps. The hiss was replaced by a crack of sound, it sounded like stones were being split apart by a sledgehammer, giving the Aburame quite the surprise. Exhaled softly, she realized that the way was being open to her. The blood red haired female made her way through the darkness, her nose slightly wiggled behind the cloth mask she was wearing from the scent. It wasn't that bad, she just wasn't expecting it. Slowly, she may her way further into the entrance, her honey golds glanced around. White stone. She gently rapt on it with her knuckles. Shook her head, she needed to hurry. Her head goes around and then she found the line that he spoke of. If she was going to break it, she would need to use Doton for sure... but marble... they are tough to penetrate. Got down onto her knees, she placed her hands underneath the line and frown as something... was odd. What... what was that? It almost looks like dried blood. Her head went left to right and up... these are tunnels. It's possible that they go around the village... so all this blood? Jack couldn't do that on his own, unless he used his own blood every two days. So.. what then? Animal sacrifice? In the back of her mind, something dark whispered and her heart dropped. Even after the Sero, people were missing by the massive amounts. It can't be! Jack wouldn't do that! He loves the village.
Was... Was it possible that he loved the village so much that he was willing to take away innocent lives to protect it more? No. He would done something else. Animals. This was animals. It had to be animals. Even then, she doubt it. She knew that there was a lot of people killed during reconstruction of the village but even then, she thought it was odd to how many were killed, not only that, there was so many civilians that moved. Sero could make them move, some people can't handle the horrors and memories that it left, but that amount of people move...? Bitterly, she glanced around as she was afraid she was being watched and had no idea that she was indeed; being watched. Her hands lift up her hoodie to reveal a tight black shirt she wore underneath on top of her firm and toned stomach. Used her nails and strength, she ripped a piece of the cloth and set it beside her. Her body jolted as she jumped when she heard Jack's voice, 'Break the line' A soft hiss exhaled from her lips as she hopes that he wasn't watching, that a message went through by some other means.
A soft inhale and exhale, Nozomi made some hand signs. This, she had seen her parents and even her ANBU cousin made the hand signs. [1] Placed them onto the ground, she felt the ground move but even then, it was a struggle. Pushed her Doton chakra more, she continued to try and grimaced as the marble rumble underneath her. [2] 'Come on...' She thought as her body was getting tired. There was no time to waste! Focus, focus, she mentally shouted at herself. [3] The rumbling was getting louder but nothing was falling because the place was protected by strong white marble. Just exactly how thick this was? [4] This would been easier at the farm, her family made it seem like nothing when they used this. Here she was, straining herself and pushing more chakra into it. [5] For the village. For the people. This motivated the young red haired Aburame as massive amount of chakra went through. [6] Finally! A powerful crack as the ground on her left leg rose and the marble was cracked, finally breaking the line. Panting heavily and breathing as she leaned back in exhaustion, not realizing her body was covered in sweat and that her arm muscles were so sore for pushing down onto the ground so hard. [7. B-rank Doton learned] Her eyes glanced towards the cloth as she quickly grabbed it and wiped the dried blood onto it at the line of the brack, to make it seem like that the crack could corrode the blood, and hopefully no one would suspect anything. Folded the cloth carefully, she placed it into one of her hidden pockets. Still breathing heavily and her arms numb, she waited for her next orders.

It seemed that the Aburame clan member wasn't going have a moment to rest. The room shook and she heard a familiar hissing sound. Her head turned so sharp, that she may have slightly hurt her neck. The door was closing. Mentally cursing as she scrambled to get onto her feet and shot out of the door as it nearly closed, she felt her legs scrap against it. With heavy pants, she noticed that the sky was getting more clear than before. Than she heard voices. Confused, it wasn't the kind that had been around her mind for a bit. Slowly, her head rose and she saw people. They were okay! Pulled herself up to stand, she patted her pocket to make sure that the cloth was still there. It was, but it felt like something else was there. Confused, she started to pull out items. Wire? Where did this come from... pellets, what does- She stopped as the moment she touched them onto her palm, it seemed that instructions and what they are for just came to her mind. Slightly shocked and shaken, and here she thought she had seen and heard it all. Since when do items appear in pockets and have their own dark whispers? Placed the pellets back into her pocket, she got out the collar. No whispers. Nothing. Maybe she has to put it on?
Was it really wise to put on something you found on Kiri, more or less that shows up in your pocket? No. She put on the collar anyways. It tighten slightly to fit around her neck perfectly as she winced a bit in surprise. There was no pain or anything, her heart was pounding so fast. She was anticipating that something was going to happen. Instead, a dark voice was heard in her mind. Nozomi then understood. She was meant to find them. She was meant to use them. Once she had gathered her thoughts, she approached a group of civilians, her hood was down but everything else she was still wearing. Save for the obviously dirty skin, clothes, maybe a blood stain or two, and her hair was a mess. "Is everyone okay?" She questioned towards them as they all became quiet and look at each other before arched their brow as they said they were fine in an odd tone, as if SHE was the weird one. Confused, did they not know what happened? As long they were okay. She turned on her heels and headed to the hospital....

Kagerou approached the gates, filled out the leave form for the chuunin exams, and then left as one would expect after some filled out a leave form. What was she thinking about as she started this momentous trip? The momentous thing being her chuunin exams. Nothing, really. No time to think. She was late as it was. Although, if there had to be something, then maybe nervous?

• Specialist -The user chooses to specializing in healing medical techniques and gains a great boost to their chakra control in that area. At Chunnin, they gain a -5 chakra reduction to perform techniques in their specialty. at Jounin, -10, at Konin -15 at Sannin -20. To clarify, they they gain a -5 chakra reduction every rank, to a maximum of -20 at sannin. All medical jutsu are still learnable by both sides, but the chakra control only applies to the chosen side.
• Grand Performance - The user can perform both types of arts (ninjutsu and genjutsu) through their performance or instrument, often casting them at the same time (must pay for both techniques). Can perform D rank techniques through instrument at gennin, C at Chunnin, B at jounin, A at Konin, and S at Sannin.
• Learn Medical techniques one (1) post faster.
• Learn ninjutsu (1) post faster.
• Learn genjutsu one (1) post faster.
• D"eye"versity - Through the use of custom techs, Kagerou can swap between the normally limited abilities and techniques for her sharingan, potentially giving her access to all eye abilities and mangekyou techs. She can never have more than the written limits at any one time (e.g. access to all eye abilities but cannot use more than two at a time). In addition to learning the required custom and whatever additional requirements that custom might have, Kagerou needs to fulfill certain conditions for a safe swap. Each Sharingan ability or technique swapped must be retrained and adjusted to, a process that takes twenty [20] posts at first for each Sharingan ability/technique, is reduced by two [2] posts every time the Sharingan ability/technique is safely retrained, and can take a minimum of six [6] posts per Sharingan ability/technique. If necessary, Kagerou can perform a riskier, instant swap on the fly without the readjustment period, but these swaps can only last for up to five [5] posts and disables the Sharingan, which needs to recover from the strain, for twice [x2] the number of posts that the swap lasted for. Techniques learned with the 'To Copy' Sharingan ability, which can be swapped out, are not forgotten but must be retrained every time Kagerou safely swaps to the 'To Copy' ability. Instant swaps to the 'To Copy' ability give Kagerou all of her copied techniques without needing to retrain them. For every time Kagerou safely swaps to her 'To Copy' ability, her copied techniques take two [2] less posts to retrain, going down to a minimum of one [1] post to retrain each copied technique.
• Miracle Performance - Kagerou can perform healing eiseijutsu through her performance/instrument as if it was ninjutsu of the same rank. When performing healing medical techniques, she can target anyone who can hear her music with the jutsu. I.e. she no longer has to be within touch range of the target to use healing hands.
• The Good Host - 1/2 off all implant chakra requirements.
• Mind and Body - A sound soul resides in a sound mind and a sound body. To ensure the health of all three, Kagerou must master every aspect of medicine. Kagerou gains an additional medical field type. The additional type needs to be trained separately from the first.
• Evergreen Growth - Life always finds a way, especially when it's helped by someone who truly cherishes it. Plants cultivated by Kagerou grow as if the soil they are nourished by is +1 grade higher than it actually is. Unfertilized soil yields crops in 2 rl weeks. Low-grade fertilizer yields crops in 1 week. High-grade fertilizer reaches a new level of fast and yields crops in 4 days. (Post-acceptance note: I just realized that there is an Evergreen religion in this guild. I did not mean for this to be a religious PA in any way. It's just botany. I hope that's not a problem.)
