In the center of the city's walls is an enormous iron gate that is heavily guarded by samurai. It is considered an honor to guard the Zaishin City walls so highly skilled samurai are often seen patrolling around the iron gate. Foreigners beware that the samurai guards are not accustomed to welcoming outsiders.

Sheva walked through the second pair of gates and looked around, this place was different then the other villages. There were men clad in samurai armor patrolling on a constant; once again she was approached by two men:
β Who are you and what are you doing here? β
She tried to keep her remarks short and to the point, thus this far the samurai werenβt too fond of her presence here. She handed them the document that said that she may enter the Land of Iron.
β These documents are my identification and I wish to speak to the Shogun. β They looked at each other and laughed, tossing the papers to the ground. Sheva didnβt flinch and looked at the pair that stood in front of her β Iβm just here for information. β
β Make your visit quick rouge. β
They walked away, leaving her to pick up the documents and continue to the Shoguns Palace.

"All dem demons attacking folks jus ain' right."
Even though his dad had warned him against getting involved with the Oni because of his condition, he couldn't just sit by yeah. I mean sure the Samurai would have eradicated the issue shortly, but wouldn't it be even cooler if he did it himself. it would show his father that he could face oni and not be overcome! And then y'know, maybe he would forgive him for not being able to take on the family fighting style. Couldn't even have their name afterall, maybe it's the curse of being rokuro.
tabβThatβs definitelyβ¦ odd.β Suga looked up from her kneeling position and out of the window as the flames in her hand extinguished themselves. As the young samurai watched from her meditative position, the whole sky filled with blackness and muted crimson. Watching the eclipse wrapped Suga in a feeling of unease. Even with the faint red glow of the world all the girl could see was the faint outlines of her room, her window sill. The feathered form of Tsuki perched on the window sill. She could make out the movement that her birdβs head made, twisting almost mechanically to try and make sense of the dull images he was seeing most likely. Something in the girlβs senses was just pulling at some strings in her instincts. Humanβs never grew into the darkness, as evidenced by the yelling and running forms of the citizens of Zaishin that passed by her window. But something about the eerie red glow pushed that fear just a little bit more. To the point that the young samurai was starting to feel her panic start to clench at her heart. She needed to fix this. So first, with her arms trembling, Suga formed a hand seal and focused her chakra to illuminate something, anything, in the room. The chakra came through her body and then justβ¦ fizzled. No light came from her Light chakra and now Suga was both scared and confused. βWell thatβs greatβ¦β She sighed, but her voice cracked a little as her heart started to pound. Suga looked at the bird shadow in the window. βWhat do you think, Tsuki?β
βCaw!β A crow call came from behind the girl, the familiar noise of her partner not coming where sheβd thought it would. She whipped her head around and saw, faintly in the darkness, the glowing red coming from Tsukiβs white feathers. The girl had only enough time for her to wonder yet again what was going on before another caw came, but this time from the bird in the window. Suga took a pensive step towards it and, as the bird moved in the red light, she could see glistening black feathers and the eye of the crow. Even in the darkness Suga could see the depth of this birdβs eyes and she had to watch as it peered into her soul. She could feel her heart racing faster now as a sense of familiarity rose up in response to this creature. Memories flashed to the front of her mind, quick as lightning, of a wooded area filled with similar birds to Tsuki. Suga let out a groan as she tried to steady herself. The flash of memory made her head feel light for an instant. And while she didnβt know what any of this meant, Suga did know one thing.
She had a place to start!
With a burst of enthusiasm Suga rushed off to grab her cloak. She draped the black full length cloak around her before pulling the hood up over her face. She finally had a hint about her lost memories! βCβmon Tsuki, weβre leaving for the Sage Lands!β Suga said with an enthusiasm that didnβt fit the scene around her. Both birds squawked as Suga lifted her hand and, with her chakra, molded the darkness around her into an oval shape just a foot taller than her. Suga and the crows stepped over the threshold of the molded darkness before it closed behind them all and disappeared back into nothingness.
A rather strange looking young woman crested the horizon, moving calmly towards the gates of Zaishin. An ash colored, tattooed hand reached up as she drew closer, pulling back her hood to reveal a skull pattern of forming grey material over her face, and a similar pair of horns beginning to emerge from her green hair. Within moments the same material began coating her forearms, lower legs, and torso. She rolled her neck around casually as if prepping for something, until she was just close enough for the guards to realize that she bore the symbol of no village, and then she was shot out of a cannon. She'd be in the midst of the exterior guards in what would seem like an instant, the crack of an Ignition Release technique propelling her. A single hand shot skyward as she skidded to a stop, and with it went enough force to lift at the very least those guards outside the wall skyward, if not also those atop it.
This was exhilarating in a way Coda had never really felt before. She'd released the Awoken stage of her Blessings of O'Inari in training, of course, but she'd never matched against other people in the field. Never used it all out. There was little time to revel in her strength, however. Her right hand charged chakra again, this time sending six orbs of energy towards the gate itself. It'd almost certainly be more than enough to take the massive barriers off their hinges, or at least fling them open and usher her in. She took a fleeting moment to consider how quickly the exchange had occurred. It was an exceptionally rapid exchange, and it required so little effort on her part that she had a bit of extra time to prepare a bit of defense, considering she was walking into the unknown. Her Kaiser armor would be the timer. No staying longer than the first application's maximum duration, consider leaving if anyone here broke it. The mission was, of course, to cause disruption behind enemy lines, not take on all of Zaishin alone.
"I am a Cer, of the Ceres, gods of death and dying, here to return to the Samurai the gift they have unleashed upon the world." Coda had been careful in her initial strike to not do anything too broadly destructive. She was here for the samurai, not the people who glomed onto their status and structures. The armored cretin represented a competent stand-in for shinobi and the woman's own religion, as the UHV had before them. The Samurai might not have brought the axe down on the woman's own corner of the Yozen world, but they were as callous and indifferent to the suffering as everyone else outside of the Land of Fire. As hungry for power and death. As unjust and dishonorable in their stratification of the society they fostered.

β±β°β±Ikebatsu stepped out of his office of central command at the Naiheki Gate to see the incoming Yozen. He squinted and began inhaling deeply and feeling the natural energy that flowed through the area. The nearby Seinaru Enjo temple of the eternal flame fueled much of the nature chakra that he was filling his body with. The fire sage's eyes continued to narrow as he watched his men being butchered at the lower level of the gates. The sting of his failure to stop the shinobi invaders at his primary post at the Iron Wall still resonated with him. He felt his shame carving inside of him like a knife. The past few days made him realize that his failure triggered the massive war that the samurai were having with the entire world by now. The general would not allow himself to fail to protect Zaishin again. He intended to return to the Iron Wall for the second half of his day of active duty but it seemed that was not going to happen.
He finally released his deep inhale as he walked out and onto the top of the wall in the center. Fiery nature chakra coated the master flame sage's skin and armor. "Not again." The seinaru enjo clansman mumbled in his usual grizzled tone as he manifested a fiery orange katana in his right hand. It was common for the greatest of samurai, such as the generals and the shogun and clan heads, to master Reiken no Michi. However, he questioned if he was even still worthy of his spirit sword after his failure. Ikebatsu was relieved when he saw its manifestation again, tried and true. This general of the great iron wall and the naiheki gate was the man who commanded the forces to protect his people. It was a position that he held in high esteem above even his own flaws. He stomped his foot firmly before he created a massive wall of crackling fire enhanced by sage chakra in front of the gate to protect against the orbs. "And I am an old sentry. Proud of my country, my clan, and my people. We're protecting ourselves." He responded to Coda's arrogant statements and raised his sword. Ikebatsu agreed with the shogun going on the offensive after he witnessed the horrors that happened first hand when the shinobi attacked them. Ikebatsu was like an old lump of coal that burned brightly at one time but now was burned and cindery. "You've butchered my men and I must destroy you." The warrior achieved the sixth virtue state and accepted the true sincerity of his service to his people. His eyes glowed with potent incandescence. He manifested a massive detached samurai arm holding a two-hundred-foot katana that resembled his spirit sword. The samurai swung his arm from his standing on the wall as the arm and sword mirrored his movement. He used this extension of his own arm to close the gap between himself and Coda.
β° Temple of the Flame Priest | Rank S | Spiritual | Overwhelming The user forms a single hand sign, creating a barrier of any size up to one hundred feet in width. The barrier is composed of the user's fire but only appears the color of their chakra. Once impacted, the barrier expels a powerful stream of fire in the direction the impact originated from and extends fifty feet before dispersing, causing tier four burning and burns to those caught by it. This barrier can be maintained for four posts before vanishing unless impacted prior. Impact of any sort triggers the barrier's defense. β’ Flames of Strength: The user's flame expelled after triggering the barrier is doubled in size, having an earth shattering impact that not only burns but causes bone fractures.
β° Warrior Spirit: Enlightened Blade [ Senshi no Seishin: Satotta Ha ] | Rank S | Complex When in the sixth virtue state, the warrior swings their sword and manifests a giant ethereal detached arm holding a sword that mirrors the movements of the warrior from above the body. For a maximum of three posts, each swing of the Reiken is amplified with the arm of the warrior's spirit. The Arm manifested is not an exact copy in appearance but it usually looks like a massive samurai warrior arm with the same ethereal energy as the Reiken. The arm and sword combined are one hundred feet long. The user can also execute bukijutsu techniques through the sword independently to increase the scale of the technique.

Coda's lightning reflexes were enough to save her from the sudden appearance of the barrier, and a complementary explosion canceled its response out as she extended her arms forward; a wave of force and fire carving a deep gash in the ground between her and the gate. The Samurai would not be limping home to a comforting sight on her watch. Chakra charged in her arms as crackling Kaiser Armor shrugged off the ever so slightly weaker blade attack. "Explain to me your concept of butchery, proud Samurai." The woman responded calmly as fire engulfed her form, turning her into a whipping, sparking, hellish looking being of primal fire.
The Samurai was free to see this as arrogant - few in this world were not - but Coda's words came not from a sense of self importance, but that of fury on the behalf of others. The ferocity with which she approached her task was a culmination of years of restraint towards people like the Samurai and the leadership of her own village. It was hers, every ounce of it. The act she performed was a small but vital part of her deity's war of deception. She sought to free her path to vengeance, operating under the nose of Konohagakure and with their blessing - and she was exceptional at maintaining the front. All considered, the old soldier's assertions reflected no better on him - the only difference was that he meant what he said, while Coda's expressions were pure theater. To accuse this child of Ε-Inari of butchery, after gladly coveting her family's craft and abandoning them to slaughter, was laughable; though this man and Coda were neither deserving nor stupid enough, respectively, to offer the context. To accuse her of arrogance was even more deluded while prattling on about pride. Her left hand struck out for the gate as she turned her piercing yellow eyes upwards at the advancing Samurai. A moment later an eruption of flame consumed the gate and the area outside of it. The same response would not work a second time. Ikebatsu would not be protecting these gates unless he came up with something significantly more impressive.

β±β°β±The general stared up from the gate as his enlightened blade clashed with Coda's lightning armor. The blade bounced off the crackling lightning, a clear indication that he needed to use higher-level techniques to make any impact. He was not underestimating the lone invader but it was alarming that this level of skill was being used to attack his gate from one foreigner. "Senselessly killing guardsmen who had nothing to do with the ongoing war. They are countrymen, mothers, and fathers who are serving loyally at their shogun's command. Why wouldn't you target the shogunate for your little rebellion without a cause? This is just butchery." Fire reflected in the general's eyes as she loosed another massive explosion to attempt to destroy the city's fortification. Forming a single-handed sign he inhaled deeply. Intense heat welled up in his breath before he exhaled outwards from the wall. The massive display of crackling fire would immediately clash with Coda's attack in an attempt to destroy it and leave the wall and gates safe. This was the full display of the fire sage's power that he utilized to protect his city and country. The Seinaru Enjo then released several streams of potent sage fire toward the target directly. As he breathed out even more fire he raised his spirit sword again, prepared for close-quarters combat if necessary as he tried to keep her off the wall. "And under exactly which self-righteous pretense are you committing this atrocity?" He asked as he breathed out the fire toward Coda. The woman was vague with her intentions and he hoped that he might be able to dissuade her into taking up knitting or jousting or some other outlet for releasing her angst at the world in a more constructive manner.
β° Fire Release: Great Flame Annihilation [ Katon: GΕka Mekkyaku ] | Rank S+ | Spiritual | Overwhelming The user inhales deeply, gathering chakra in their lungs before exhaling with a mighty breath. With their exhale, an immesurably intense flame is produced that creates a massive one hundred and fifty foot wall of flames that spans out in a wave before the user and washes over anything in it's path. This technique does not suffer elemental weakness to water when colliding with techniques A Rank and lower. Those contacted by the infernal wave suffer tier four burns and the entire topic is subject to burning for six posts following the attack.
β° Hellfire Gale [ Jigoku no Hi KyΕfΕ« ] | Rank S | Spiritual | Overwhelming A technique requiring the wind element in addition to the fire element. The user forms the required hand signs, creating six streams of flames that jettison out forty feet in a star shaped pattern surrounding the user. These flames cause tier three burns upon contact. After expelling the flames, the user manipulates the wind with an additional hand sign that causes the star shaped burst of flames to become a cyclone of flames that reaches one hundred feet in height with a forty foot base, expanding upwards as it rises. Targets caught within the burning cyclone have tier four burns applied. Both the star shaped burst and the cyclone require separate activations to evade, both at A Rank minimum.

This was becoming a bother. The Yozen's time was running, and every second wasted was more bodies that would not be added the coming pyre. She fizzled from view, reappearing just out of the path of The Great Flame Annihilation. The hand that struck at the gate caught the other incoming attempt at a counter attack, and a sealing formula glowed crimson as it was stored away. Though Coda got some slight backlash from the process. She had thus far been afforded some modicum of protection from the forces involved by countering with her explosives, but this could not last. She was already more than halfway through her reserves, she'd be exiting with her Kaiser armor intact now. "The Samurai's hands are as blood stained as any other. You used the Land of Tea as a play place once upon a time. Your proud warriors maimed and terrorized just like your shinobi brethren. Spare what's left of my memories your facile moralizing." If Coda was a butcher it could only be in a more nuanced understanding of the world. That of a person skillfully, precisely applying a trade. She was certainly not slaying innocents, nor was she doing so for sport - the latter in particular a penchant of the very group her wrath now fell upon.
The samurai had unbalanced this scale when the woman was but a child, and all this conflict would do was delay the inevitable. Here at the gates or alone on some path somewhere as she moved like a silent spirit between her Oinin duties, it made no difference. The villages would face her wrath otherwise unaware, like a drop of arsenic in a wine barrel. The samurai got the better deal. She had not hidden. Not approached in friendship. The deception here was not one that tipped the scale of the battle. They were getting their honorable fight against a woman whose small little settlement of tea farmers they'd gladly harrowed and then refused protection to. A woman who watched the slaughter of her little town, and the burning of its tiny tea grove as the constant bending of her people final broke their old ways and welcomed devastation. The woman at the tip of the spear that was the reformation of the Yozen. She simply struck more decisively. She played their game better. And now this one whimpered in self-anointed persecution. Coda had been careful not to use her right arm in the previous attack, or in countering the general's response. As the flames faded from her form she continued her assault, the fizzling inferno revealing the explosive chakra underneath as she subtly shifted her stance.
Again all the general would receive was escalation, as the woman continued to find some deeper source of rage to draw upon despite her outwardly calm demeanor, this time in the form of a seemingly impossible combination of techniques. The old man had thus far succeeded only in halting Coda's attempts to damage the gate directly, but the woman had ceded no ground even as the structure itself scorched around her from the dueling Bakuton and Katon techniques. Coming up short now would create even more devastation than if the general had simply let the gate fall and allowed his men face this threat alone. Even stopping it might not be enough to prevent catastrophic damage at this point. Two massive explosions of raw force followed by a deafening detonation waited in Coda's clinched fist as it once again sought purchase on the barricade. They'd turn anything in the immediate vicinity into splinters, along with much on the other side, and she'd be standing in a crater afterwards regardless of whether or not the gate remained nominally intact.

That was it...the war was over. Katsumi had kicked into action quickly after having heard the message. From wherever he was, he and his allies in the previous situations. People who acted through the shadows of Zaishin had come to the surface. Gathering the refugees of the long passed Seiryuu exile and hunts. The people who went into hiding and wanted nothing to do with the politics and happenings around this war Shogun Seizo had started. They all gathered at the gates, the non-warrior caste families from many clans, even those that merely were citizens of Zaishin hiding from the insanity they experienced in the last few months of living here.
Looking at it, one might call them an army of civilians. However they were no army, they were simply a united front. A united front of people that would be ecstatic the war was over. Families that reveled in the fact they could finally return home, not to some place they had to be because of their Clan's actions towards others....to their homes. Katsumi headed the united citizens. However the group of them would have to stop. A battle raged right before the gates, not a surprise considering the situation at hand. The child looking Hogosha made a motion for the group of citizen to go no closer as he would approach with intention of dealing with this.
As he approached, forming a string of hand seals with a single hand. The earth beneath the two combatants would rumble, then soon turned white and rose into a large wall made of what seemed to be liquid like salt at first. However as it would form the wall would curve itself in such a way that if any collision with large salt construct did not somehow cause either of the two's offensive techniques to ping uselessly off it then the destructive forces would be contained an unharmful to any. Mostly done having recognized the way of combat...the explosive fighting style.
The approaching...seemingly child would speak to the two combatants. "I doubt you have heard, as the yokai were used as a way to announce this. I see no yokai around...the war is over. Shogun Seizo is dead, Musunde Raiu is now the new shogun. I request you stop this fight, allow us to pass, and return home. General Ikebatsu...Shinobi Invader." He spoke plainly, and quite outside of what his appearance would indicate his age to likely be. However he stood firm, and with the large group of Zaishin Civilians, Refugees, and others behind him, a ways away and avoiding any potential harm to come to them.

β±β°β±Ikebatsu watched as his fire collided with a wall of salt that was suddenly erected. Hogosha. The Seinaru Enjo clansman thought to himself as he looked up to Coda and absorbed her response. It honestly raised more questions than answers as was becoming typical of the cryptic woman. "What are you talking about? Our country has been isolationist for centuries." The general more or less wrote her off as insane unless she elaborated on her point further. When Katsumi spoke up and requested an end to the hostilities he would respond plainly. "There's no going through this gate until the threat is neutralized." As he spoke he weaved handseals in an attempt to bolster the gate and walls of Zaishin further. The fire sage slammed his hands at the top of the wall. Chakra was channeled through the stone and concrete and into the ground. A massive wall of earth would rise from the ground in front of the Naiheki gate. This rock-based rampart had a high amount of chakra in it and was resilient to other attacks. If the salt wall was still standing then this rock wall would bolster it even further. As it rose from the ground its potent power may have been able to stop the threat of explosions and encroaching flames. "This is your final chance to leave or I will destroy you." The fire sage's glowing eyes glared through his horned steel helmet. If the shogun was truly dead and the war was over then Ikebatsu saw no purpose in continuing to attack her unless she continued attempting to destroy the gate.
β° Rock Shield [ Doroku Gaeshi ] | Rank S The user channels chakra into their hands, gripping the earth below them as they manipulate it into rising before them. For each rank of the technique, the shield expands ten feet in height and width. This wall requires techniques of one rank above it in power to break through it.
Coda glowered at the arriving child, and then up at the samurai, before turning her sights on her own hand as she flexed it. She listened, but reacted little to the mountain of two-faced bullshit as it was moved around in an effort at justification. "A nation is not people, it is structure, and the samurai's ideology is not the sole possession of Zaishin." The woman said calmly as the armor-like plates on her body began to shift. She was out of time, if not for her lack of ability to continue then for the fact that further fighting here was pointless now that this fool had dragged civilians into the equation. They were not her targets. Besides, Coda knew her limits were closer than this general. The gates were a mess, these people could witness the effects of a lone soul and wonder at the forces their leaders had provoked. "Do you think the shinobi are the only reason the Yozen no longer enjoy independence? You cannot be so naive as to believe your political isolation meant you didn't influence the world." The woman's Kaiser armor crackled black lightning over her cursed form as she finally turned from the gate and began a trudge over the uneven ground. She stopped at the small one, intense yellow eyes turning to Katsumi for a moment. "If you think the shinobi will cordially accept, you are fools." As her horns began to recede the hood was returned to cover the green hair once more and she continued her path away from the gates. [/exit]

These additional images do not increase the strength of the parent technique.
Katsumi nodded to the general's words towards him. The situation at hand was indeed understandable. A threat had to be neutralized before they could pass and that was a reasonable thing. With a threat of being destroyed escaping the generals mouth towards the shinobi attacker Katsumi simply watched. The gates were reinforced, the war was over, and there were civilians in tow. Of course he would protect them at all costs, however he simply wished to see this shinobi's course of action with the circumstances. Not only that but....he had no opposition to assisting the general in the situation where she decided to proceed with her attack.
However fortunately...she didn't. It was good, because he didn't wish to be involved with such a thing right now any further anyways. His single hand holding a hand seal shifted once more. The wall of salt slowly disappearing, sinking back into the ground below. Some babble about the Yozen, and shinobi acceptance. Perhaps to evoke a response? It didn't matter to Katsumi all that much. As she left, Katsumi would usher the civilians to come forwards. The battle was over and they could proceed as the general had said. "Thank you for your service and defense in dire times General Ikebatsu." Katsumi turned to look towards the large crowd of people. Before he could even make any more movements there was a bit of a group of the citizens that stepped forwards.
"We'll start helping fix up the gates. We already sent a few people off to grab wood! You and the others go on ahead." One of them said, clearly someone who was of the construction caste. Katsumi nodded and turned to look at the general. "Looks like you have eager helpers in fixing the destruction general." Katsumi said to him as he would hopefully begin proceeding towards the Tetsujo with the refugees in tow.
β±β°β±The oni samurai walked through Naiheki gate as it was being repaired. He was confused as he believed that the war was strictly an invasion. He had a hard time believing that shinobi armies were able to successfully make it through the perilous three wolves mountains. He looked up to see the samurai guards saluting him as they had been informed of Akaran's status as a heroic samurai from the shogun himself. He smiled goofily and returned the salute before walking out of the city.

If two elemental bloodlines are chosen then the primary bloodline's elemental affinities become your base elements and you gain full access to those elements while your secondary bloodline gives you locked elemental affinities that you cannot learn ninjutsu techniques from but you gain full access to the secondary bloodline. Locked elemental affinities can be unlocked through methods such as ninjutsu class or personal attributes. Elemental affinity personal attributes are automatically allotted to locked affinities. Jiongu users do not have access to Dual Ancestry nor can they be chosen as a secondary bloodline. Dual Ancestry users do not have access to the implant system including the Genetic Palette personal attribute.
