Fifty feet form the tree mists become barely more than a smudge upon one's vision, but the further out from the tree one goes it becomes difficult to see anything without the help of "Mist Goggles".

InaraOjima Civilian l Kirigakure l Pirate l Tactician Chakra - 415/415 l Stamina - 145/145
By the time she reached the streets she was getting tired again, her legs ached more than they had in recent memory, the only time she recalled ever feeling worse was when she was adrift after the events of the last six months, the events that made her lose everything. Within her, she felt her chakra stirring as it pushed her forward when she herself felt like she could not continue to run, it stabilized her and gave her the push she needed to continue when she felt she like all she could do was stop, and drop. From the side of the draw bridge that connected the market with the general streets, she saw the mist that rose from the water, obscuring it from her view. When she could see the water, all she saw was deep black pools that lead down to an abyss. In about ten minutes, she cleared the winding bridges and arches that made up the street, and she found herself in the Mother Gates of the village. [3/5]

...and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid."
Elle approached an empty island, walking onto the surface as she got a feel for the various materials in the area. She walked in a slow wide circle around the place, dragging her feet a bit while looking at the ground. Her head was pounding a bit. Her own fault, as it throbbed throwing her focus in only one direction. She looked to the center and tapped her foot twice, letting a small cloud of dust stir around her leg. She formed a few handseals and clapped her hands together, focusing enough chakra to cause guards around the village to potentially become interested in what was going on. ( 6/10 )
The ground rumbled as a massive rectangular section of earth and stone would be lifted from the ground. It would shoot up into the sky, 40 foot then 80 then 120 as it took up the entire islands landmass. She stopped when she could see the entire village from her perch on top of the stone. She lifted her arms in a slow motion, drawing loose dirt and sediment from the stone that she had lifted from the earth, causing it to swirl around the object in a large mass. She was left with an oddly shaped lump and mass of rock to work with. ( 7/10 )
She shut her eyes, focusing her mind on a single image. The one from the hospital. She didn't even know her name currently. But she could vividly see her body in her minds eye. Albeit clothed she had the dimensions decently enough figured out. ( 8/10 ) The sand she had collected made a large pass of the rock then impacted it with an audible clash, the sand biting and abrading as she controlled the streams. The grinding sound was real. Making her skin shiver as she focused on tuning it out to complete her task. She could feel the sand taking away layer upon layer of rock, making more sand for her to use as she took shape of the object. She stepped out onto a cloud of sand and had it float away from the rock so she could watch her work rather than relying specifically on feeling the contours of the rock.( 9/10 )
The entire process would take some time. Each ounce of carving bringing more sand to work with. The main focus of the efforts was a large statue of Kagerou with her arms currently unfinished but reaching down to about chest level to an uncarved piece of rock. The sand suddenly plowed into unmolested rock, cleaving it into a diagonal plane to work with instead of an equal lump of rock. The sand renewed its assault, carving deep as it worked on a second figure. ( 10/10 )
The second figure took a while to form correctly. All the while Elle floated around the mass of rock, watching the angles as she formed lines and rebuilt areas that needed to be larger, cutting away those that needed to be smaller. The only good thing about her mental issues was that when she was focused on something, it could become quite detailed. As the shaping of the rock finished, she floated back to look at it. The result of her efforts was a massive statue to be seen throughout the village. ( 11/15 )It depicted a woman with her face buried in another ones shoulder, mask held in a hand limp at her side as Kagerou held her tightly. When Elle was satisfied she took the sand and separated it into the finest grit that she could and ran it over the statue as a mass, smoothing out anything that was sharp until she could touch the rock and it would be smooth as her own skin. When she was satisfied with this, she floated back, her gaze directed at the statue as her heart pounded as if she had been in battle for hours. She smiled behind her mask. A genuine smile that couldn't even be seen, though still a rarity for her. ( 12/15 ) She would then float over to the head, sit on the top of the statue and hug her knees, drifting off to sleep for a short time as the sand fell to the ground at the base of the statue, inert for the time being.

After walking around for a bit Zion decided he knew too little of this Kumotake to be able to hunt him down, not that he really needed to find them right now. "Wait", the burning hatred forcing him forwards had dissipated. "Why was I gonna kill... Kaneko! I can't belie-", as his actions up until this moment rushed through his head he wondered what exactly had happened to him. For someone who liked to live and let live even his own actions seemed to.. Much. "I really need to apologize to Kaneko, hopefully she doesn't assume that's the kind of person I am. But more importantly, I need to make sure she's ok, whatever effected me seemed to have.. No! Head out of the gutter!"
Still, he didn't know his squad well enough to even guess where they might've headed, so he might as well continue his search for his mentor, "I'm sure they'll want to meet this person as well, maybe Kumotake'll have an idea where the others might be". Sighing he continued his way across the current bridge he was on, "If I remember correctly, the academy teachers said squads bunked together. Maybe I'll find Kumotake waiting at our dorm?" Zion continued towards the apartments, carefully looking about to see if anyone was watching him, a feeling he seemed unable to shake. "Guess it hasn't completely left my system. Or maybe... Wouldn't put it past the ANBU"
Zion didn't get very far until he was pestered by a flying spider. "Stupid little! When I catch yo-", chasing after the spider only seemed to lead him back from where he came. "Huh, guess I was being followed", he thought as he let out a sigh of relief, his senses had full returned to normal. "Guess it's some kind of messenger, but why you'd pick something so creepy is beyond me"

Here she was. Kagerou stepped to the base of the giant statue of herself. Up this close, it was hard to tell, but she knew. This uninhabited islet wasn't in the ferry's route, so Kagerou had to jump off the boat mid-trip and water walk here.
Kagerou circled the base, which was quite the walk considering that this was erected within the span of not even an hour. The ground was a strange texture. Like it was supposed to be dirt, but there was also sand mixed in unnaturally. At least, it seemed unnatural to Kagerou. She'd never felt ground like that, but she was also no dirt expert. What she did not know was that the sand she felt were the remains of the large pile that had drifted to the foot of the statue when it was first finished.
She couldn't see a person in sight. she pondered the dilemma. She had been hoping to find the creator of this statue and apologize to him or her. However, they were nowhere in sight.
Curiously, Kagerou's eyes trailed to the top of the statue. It was night. Up that high, it would be windy. All in all, it was a cold perch. Admittedly, a great perch to stargaze from, the size of the statue guaranteeing there would be enough space even atop the round head. The Sero was taller, but it's great foliage blocked the stars directly above. There was a chance the creator was up there. Not a great chance, but certainly a possibility. At the very least, Kagerou wanted to see what the night sky looked like from up there. Take a moment to breathe and relax.
Kagerou stretched. Then, with a running straight, she ran up the side of the statue, channeling chakra into her feet to carry her across the vertical surface. The natural shape of the human body dictated that Kagerou would find it easier, at times, to switch from chakra running to free climbing and then back, and she did this with supple dexterity. A part of her was disappointed in her movements. They had actually gotten a little worse from back when she was in academy, when she still wanted to follow her mother's path. However, she didn't pay much mind. Her natural advantages in agility were something she had always been ready to sacrifice when she decided to become a medic. Her chosen specialization on top of six months of absence from active duty, even if she did try to keep fit regularly, made it a given that she was going to lose some dexterity.
By the time Kagerou reached the top, she had gotten a good workout and a good gauge on her current ability to move. Her entry wasn't great. Pretty normal, actually. The curve of the head made it simple to just keep on running until she finally reached a part of the statue where she could stand without chakra. Once she reached that point, Kagerou slowed down and doubled over. The statue was a long way up, and that entire time Kagerou either had chakra channeling to her feet or was using the rest of her body to pull and climb. Deep breaths and the chill wind felt refreshing on her heated, sweating skin.
Once she caught her breath, though, Kagerou looked up straight to the skies. There they were, beautiful stars. She smiled at the sight, enjoying the view. However, she also remembered the more important reason for being up here. Kagerou's eyes descended from the night sky to survey the head. Under the soft glow of the star and moon, it wasn't long before she spotted a small figure, huddled right at the softly rounded peak of the head.
As quietly as possible, Kagerou walked to the small figure, almost certain that this was the person she was looking for. Her footsteps padded quietly on the solid rock and so long as the figure remained still, she would kneel gently besides the long-haired child. At least, she seemed a child by Kagerou's definition, which was pretty much anyone in their mid-teens or younger.
If, even after kneeling so close, the mystery child did not yet move, Kagerou would begin to sing very quietly, trying to wake her without startling her. It wasn't a great song. In fact, it was just "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," sung quietly and at a slower tempo.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky."
Kagerou's voice was good at least. She had her mother's musical talents, and a pretty comprehensive training from her family on top of that. It wasn't beautiful. It was more of a pretty than beautiful.

• 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.)
Some time after the first stanza, about when the line "twinkle twinkle" came up again, Kagerou had started to lightly pat the masked child's head. However, the child did not move throughout Kagerou's soft singing and patting, and she had gone through the whole rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," including the parts most people didn't know about.
For a few moments after the song ended, Kagerou simply sat silently besides the small girl that created this giant statue. Her hand softly stroked the blonde hair atop the head. Still, there were no signs of stirring.
A silent sigh, and Kagerou soundlessly stood up. Her feet padded softly as she stepped back, and just to give the sleeping girl in front of her one last chance, Kagerou gazed into the night sky. she thought simply, Kagerou's gaze returned to the small figure laying against the hard rock.
There was some shuffling as the genin reached into her backpack to pull out the large hoodie she had worn when she had a masculine body. After a couple shakes to smooth it out, Kagerou kneeled once more to gently blanket the yet unknown kunoichi with the large, purple hoodie.
It was too dark to write an apology note, so the only thing Kagerou could leave besides the jacket was a whispered, "I'm sorry," and hope that, somehow, the lonely child would be able to hear it in her dreams, "It's probably over for you, too, but it must have been so lonely. I gotta go now, though, so maybe we'll see each other again."
Then she stood up again and left, descending the statue as any ninja would: quietly and carefully.

Elle's eyes had remained closed as she heard the soft lullaby being sung by a gentle soul. She wanted to open them, recognised the voice. It took her at least a minute to open them up. She only managed to open her eyes when she felt the warmth of a jacket being draped over her. She felt a tightness in her throat of all places, and her eyes became a bit damp as the girl spoke. It was too dark really to see into her mask. Probably why she didnt notice her eyes open. She knew what elle had felt. crushing loneliness, despair, the feeling of being completely numbed from the tip of her fingers to her toes. The numbness spread to her mind while she sat, unthinking and holding herself back. She clenched the sides of the jacket around her arms, pulling her knees tight under her throat and sitting there in silence for a long time. Strong emotions like the ones she was inflicted with seemed to linger.
She could smell the girl on the hoodie. Shut her eyes again as the cuts from earlier that night sang with the salt from her tears touching them, an agony that only caused more to spill. She sat there in complete silence, the night pressing in on her as she listed to its sounds. Felt she could barely breathe as she sat there. The thinner air wasnt the issue, she already acclimated to that. It was her emotions still, clogging her nose, pressing tight in her throat and causing these damned tears to spill out, dripping off of her chin and onto her normal clothing and robes. She bit her lip so hard she tasted the sweet metalic taste of her blood welling onto her tongue. Of course none of this could be seen under her mask. Maybe the tears dripping off of her chin, dyed light pink by the still leaking cuts on her face. She didnt really bleed anymore, they were closed. But she didn't touch them so the liquid caused some of the coagulated blood to break free of its position and stain the salt water. She waited a few minutes, trying to calm herself then stared out over the dark village. Was it over? No the feelings lingered. Right in her damn throat. Otherwise she wouldnt feel like this. No they were still present. The object. The PERSON of her affections had come to apologize specifically to her. She was a kind soul indeed. She kept the hoodie tight against her body, staring at the sleeve. Almost like she was examining the fabric in her silence. "Lonely" was the only thing uttered from the girl . A repetition of a single word Kagerou had said. She wasnt wrong. She sat there still, staring off into the night.
