The crowd heard the words of the worried shinobi as Seika landed in their midst, but the riot was quick to roughly pull the kunoichi away from the old man as if she had been trying to assault him. Still, no further attempts were made to hurt her, though she was restrained at each bicep by a civilian. Eirene and Sugichi's words fell over the crowd more considerably than Takao's, and there was murmuring among them about the diversity they had already overcome in the riot -- it was true that yokai, oni, kemono shinzo, and humans alike had bonded over a mutual distrust of the APD. The concept of togetherness had clearly lended the riot its strength, but the companionship between them did not extend to the soldiers of Arashigakure standing before them. It did not take long for the considerable murmuring to be interrupted by a more decisive and louder rioter. Some angry man in the front of the riot was quick to shout at the shinobi. "TOGETHER, EH? SO YOU LOT 'ILL 'ELP US TAKE THE VILLAGE BACK FROM THE POLICE STATE? OR IS YOUR TALK DIRT CHEAP?"
More chimed in: "YOU SHOULD BE HARASSING THE APD AND NOT US!" "IF YOU'RE STOPPED BY CIVILIANS, HOW CAN YOU STOP A CORRUPT APD?" "WE'VE GOT THEM SHIVERING; KEEP THE JUTSU COMING!" "IF THEY WERE WITH US, THEY'D STAND WITH US!" More scrolls were unfurled, releasing chaos among the shinobi and civilians alike. How long before an unlucky scroll was unlocked?
โฐ Rock Pillar Prison Technique [ Ganchuurou no Jutsu ] | Rank B | Variable @ Sugichi The user forms the required hand signs, creating prison bars with a solid roof that expand over a forty foot area. This prison requires an A Rank potency to break through form within while the outside is treated at B Rank. This technique may be executed at higher ranks, doubling the size of the prison and increasing it's durability rank by one per rank increase.
โฐ Cutting Whirlwind [ Kamaitachi ] | Rank C @ Eirene Creating a blast of Fuuton chakra the user launches a tornado at the target. If making contact with the target the tornado not only does its rank in damage but will also lift the target thirty feet into the air and leave them trapped in its winds for up to two posts. The winds may be overcome with same rank amount of chakra, however, targets will need to use some kind of slow fall or suffer broken legs when making contact with the ground. While trapped in the winds and for up to one post after the target suffers from the vertigo status.
โฐ Incinerating Hail Technique [ Kaen Hisame no Jutsu ] | Rank B | Variable @ Takao The user releases chakra from their hands as they lift them to the skies. From thirty feet above them a barrage of eight baseball sized fireballs rain down from the sky. Each of these fireballs rains a ten foot expanse of burning tier three upon striking a surface. Additionally, this technique may be executed at any rank above this one, doubling the number of it's fireballs each time.
Basic Combat | Restraining/Constricting Movement | Rank B @ SEIKA
โฐ Ground Shaking Technique [ Rikujou Douyou no Jutsu ] | Rank D @ NO ONE; released near the front of the riot, so it's forcing about twenty civilians to lose their balance, though any shinobi standing immediately in front of the front line may also suffer The user slams their open hand into the ground, sending chakra outward in order to cause tremors within a twenty foot range from all sides of the user. As the ground shakes about, the target is denied all reflexive bonuses within it's range and required to activate the Act of Surface Walking in order to retain their balance.

Takao couldn't tear his eyes away from where he spotted Seika in the crowd lest the crowd move and he lose her, but he heard the sound of a technique whirring past him and he swore he heard Glass Boy grunt as he took the brunt of it. His fists clenched as he struggled to manage the anger boiling in his veins; after killing Hiroshi and bringing him back with iryojutsu until his own knuckles were bloody and worn, he knew violence wouldn't cure his complicated emotional hang-ups, but a part of him desperately wanted to fight the civilians into submission.
Still. Glass Boy was right. He needed to be the hero he wanted to be - the one he needed when he was young. When his body was sacrificed in service to Jashin by his parents, when he was turned into an unwilling incubator for Chomei as a child and his childhood was ripped from his small hands, he had learned to run rather than stay and fight and risk losing everything, especially control. He had made the mistake of standing his ground against Saiko in the attack on Arashigakure, and he had nearly lost Chomei and his life in the process. But running wasn't what heroes do. It wasn't what he needed as a child. He'd needed someone else to share his pain, to share his sacrifice or take it off of his tiny shoulders instead.
And so, not for the first time, Takao was rendered sacrificial lamb as he dodged the fire hail heading his way, then, once free of them, charged forward -- the three men in front of him flinched back as if Takao was moving forward to strike them, but green supersonic chakra channeled to his feet instead, allowing him to step on the air as if he were using chakra to walk on water. He walked a few feet above the crowds' heads until he was deep enough to land in the small circle of space given to Seika, the old man, and the two men holding her. "Seika," he said without looking at her, staring down each man that held her instead. "I'm going to heal you and look over the old man. Then I can get you back on the other side, yeah?" He turned to look at her, feeling a little relief at being this close to her without being attacked by civilians, though the wide berth they'd given felt suffocating anyways, and the bewildered, angry stares he got from the crowd felt heavy like a touch. "I already broke the rules," he said quieter. "I can get you both healed up and flicker you away, eh?" He held his hand out to her, and one of the men loosened his grip on her arm automatically so she could take his if she wanted. "Let me do this for you."
1. Dodge 2. โฐ Supersonic: Sonic Step [ Chล Onsoku: Sonikkusuteppu ] | Rank E | Spiritual The jinchuuriki's feet glow with neon green sonic chakra and allows them to walk on the air in the same fashion as the Art of Walking on Water. Additionally, this technique increases the user's speed by [2] and grants them an additional body flicker for the technique's five post duration.
A man near Sugichi stepped out and shouted at the boy, spit flying from his mouth and landing on Sugichi's cheek. He challenged the boy's words and made clear his distrust, something the student couldn't really blame him for. In response, the boy relaxed his expression and responded loudly so as to be heard, but not aggressively so. "I think we all agree a government that's lost sight of its people is not one that can continue as it stands. But destroying it in its entirety will do more harm than good! We need to start with-" Further shouts and chants quickly rose above his own voice, questions ringing out faster than he could process, demands for more violence. "No! Please stop using-"
The ground along the front of the crowd became to shift and rattle, disrupting the footing of many people at once. A woman near Sugichi lost her balance quickly and toppled forward toward the shinobi line. Sugichi made an attempt to prevent her fall, but barely maintained his own footing before stone rods erupted from the ground around him. In an instant, the stone bars connected and anchored themselves in place, trapping the academy student inside a stone prison. "Oh come on!" The teen slammed his shield into the bars in an attempt to break free, but the hit did nothing more than make the metal disc ring for a moment. With a sigh, the boy attempted to reason with the crowd once again. "If we can all take a few minutes, catch our breath, and get our friends taken care of at the medical zones, then I think we can all talk about this easier, and with better information. I want to change the APD, but violence won't help do that. This is a ninja village, there will always be secrets, but the police should be for the people, and we need to reform the APD to reflect that. To do that we need people that have that as their priority to work with and within the APD. I want to be one of those people. But we need an APD to fix, and continuing this way won't leave that opportunity."
With his monologue over, Sugichi took a breath and stepped back from the front of the cage, knowing he was stuck until either the technique wore off or an ally rescued him. As he stepped back and crouched to rest, Sugichi spotted Takao make a dash at the crowd and hop over them, possibly after the shinobi who had launched their self into the crowd earlier. He floated above the crowd for a while, clearly channeling chakra to do so. "Oh... Somebody's gonna get it when this is over..." Sympathy oozed over his thoughts as he considered the penalties of disobeying the kage.

Pain shot through Seika's system after a few minutes' worth of delay. She suddenly cried out in pain, falling to her knees while surrounded by the crowd around her. The wound in her chest was deep, bleeding profusely as she felt her arms being raised beyond her control. Two of the civilians held her above the ground, with the samurai's skin growing more and more pale as the face that she had saved mere moments ago would be dancing on the air above the heads of the rioters towards her. Takao looked at the people surrounding her while she'd be busy just...feeling awful. His plan was fairly simple: to heal both her and the old man, then to take her back to safety. The Seiryu smiled weakly, wheezing a little as she'd be able to feel some of the constriction around her arm lessen enough. Seika went to slide out of the man's grasp and reach out to Takao. Her soft fingers interlocked with his own, smiling to him. "Get...the old man first. He's more important than me."
She'd wait until Takao would go to her while the samurai huffed, her hand resting over the wound in her chest. "It's pretty bad, isn't it?" she smirked at Takao. "I didn't want you to get hit with something like that. Better that an outsider like me take the hit than a native." Seika leaned into him a bit, awaiting healing while he'd muse about breaking the rules. The woman smiled, motioning to the old man. "That makes the two of us. There wasn't any way I would have made it, but nobody needs to know that~"
Modifiers: โฑโฐโฑ Book of Water | The user's complex sword strikes from styles as well as basic combat complex sword strikes can expel a thin five foot blade of water per rank of the technique that follows the path of the physical blade. In addition, the user gains access to 4 ninjutsu slots to be used for the Water Element only.
โฑโฐโฑ Gift of Perception | The clan's naturally keen sense of smell is not always the gift granted to the clansmen. Occasionally, the clan members are gifted a different sense to be heightened, multiplying the natural abilities of that sense by ten. This allows hearing to pick up on even muscle contractions and friction inside the body. Smell now gives away gender, body rank, class and killing intent as well as it's previous tells. Sight grants visibility to micro-movements of muscle groups, sight spanning the entire topic within a straight line. Genjutsu effecting the heightened sense are able to be detected upon being casted, causing one tier less in mental stress.

Eireneโs both big and small heart was beginning to tighten and sink in her chest. The words she said were heard and even considered by some, maybe many but it just didnโt have enough of an effect. Her smile was faltering and she inhaled through slightly clenched teeth, eyes continuing to dart over the crowd and over to her current protector Kagerou, listening to the returning comments to try and learn what she might need next say. She returned to responding to their yells as scroll started to unfurl, though she was beginning to sound a little desperate.โWe arenโt fighting you because we donโt want anyone to get hurt and we arenโt even allowed to fight back if we had wanted to! Thatโs how seriously the Arashikage is taking your feeling into consideration, we are working on reformation of the APD, we are trying to help the victims and route out all th-AHHHHH!!!โ Her words were ended by a sudden a pitched shriek of someone small suddenly exposed to serious pain, said shriek magnified as was the rushing sounds of the assaulting wind. As she spoke a wind distortion crashed into her tiny frame, missed by her protector and blowing her shark hat off for her head as cuts and chunks were torn from her skin and clothes.
Eirene had been totally taken be surprise by this, unable to react at all she was struck from her feet, surrounded, slashed and yanked, heigh into the air by the unsealed Jutsu. Now she was a tough idiot in the long run, able to shake off a hit without much complaint beyoud an โowieโ that another might complain about with some actual gustoโฆ and what just happened here had really hurt, creating burning sears of pain across her form. She realized she had lost the ground opening her eyes that hand been closed from the pain, realizing sheโd been yanked pretty heigh and was basically trapped in a current of potentially cutting winds, slowly being rotated like some off angle roast. She was a combination of hurting and slightly scared as she wasnโt allowed to use chakra and without it or a kind soul willing to catch her, this would end unfortunately for Eirene. She could see Takao had made his way over to help Seika and the older gentleman, breaking the given protocol but she wouldnโt hold an ounce of judgement over his choice.
Another younger shinobi had been caught and trapped within a stone prison, the strangely dressed one talking about heroics and a more stern face blonde had all been struck and injured, others collecting them to pull them to the safety of the hospital. Even worse was a scratching at the back of her psyche, lurking deep beneath her kind and bubbly self was beginning to make itself known as the pain and drawing of her own blood set off instinctual warm bells. The constant rotation and buffeting air keeping her aloft was beginning to dizzy her, a minor problem when compared to the rest, Eirene forced into squinting to try and focus a little better. The small miracle was that despite all the negatives, there was a positive in the form of the megaphone that had not left her grip and so she rose it to her mouth. The forearm of the arm holding the megaphone and device both got buffeted and gouged by the dangerous winds, making the first thing to radiate from the device a pitched whimper. โP..please stop, why canโt we talk? You are hurting me and other, I donโt understand why you are doing this to those here when we donโt want to hurt or dismiss anyone, letโs talk this over as friends, we will help. Hyunnnn.โ She ended this on a noise of pain as being shook about by the wind was unpleasant, her tone betraying her distress and concern as by now, those with a keen eye could see patches of her blue outfit and legs turning dark as blood seeped from her wounds.
She would then bring attention to Takao as she didnโt want his activities to be hampered, Eireneโs voices strengthening as she asked a huge favour of the crowd. โmy Friends, Iโm asking as a favour of goodwill that you let the shinobi floating over there help who heโs there to help and donโt attack him, heโs rendering aide to the injured so Iโm beginning you, please donโt use anymore scrolls right now, at least until they are out of the way if you really must.. please Iโm beginning you! A lot of you are listening and some are even hearing me, we want to listen and to hear you, but we canโt sort anything if we are all attacking one another, violence doesnโt fix things it just ends them or makes more problems, please you all have to believe me! Right now you all have great power in your hands, with that power you all have a lot of responsibility and will all have to carry the legacy and weight of what happens next if one of those scrolls carries a great techniqueโฆ and I donโt want any of you carrying that burdenโ She gasped as she realized that the airspeed and amount she was talking was providing her less oxygen than she might need, head getting lighter. The child sized shinobi was dizzy but needed to keep going, the loss of blood was more significant than she understood and the combination of abuses and effort on her part was making things worse, he next words showing this declining energy and liveliness, her tone sounding defeated as she took a large risk. โIโฆI donโt know what I can say to make this situation immediately better, Iโฆ we canโt fix what you want fixed, we came to try but canโt talk if all you do is want to hurt someone because you yourselves are hurt and scared. We arenโt telling you to disarm and go home, we are asking that you sheathe your weapons for now and try the harder option with the shinobi here right now, not the APD, just us here, your friends who donโt want to see anybody hurt.โ Her heavy breathing was audible as this point, all her words gripped by the amplified sounds of the wind technique she was being made to suffer through, the bubbly girl now sounding ever weak and more pathetic, words becoming disjointed by sobs and waining consciousness. โIโllโฆ scrollsโฆ youโฆ show you allโฆ.what violenceโs, result isโฆโฆ Thisโฆ isโฆ my.. choiceโฆ not your fault, pleaseโฆ stopโฆ because this might happenโฆ to lots of youโฆ if the wrongโฆ scrollโฆ please, no more!โ Eirene spread her hands out and drop the megaphone, letting out a pulse of chakra in her half conscious state a second or so later, releasing her from and dispersing the oppressive winds that kept her aloft. The megaphone that was release zoomed to the ground and itโs flight magnified until it struck the ground, the speaker projecting the impact for a fraction of a second before it broke with a resounding finality only a few meters ahead of the rioters, Eireneโs body beginning its journey a second or so later barely conscious, to suffer a similar fate as the megaphone and offer an up close and in person example of what the rioters actions would cause if none of them chose to discard their animosity and try catching her small form, the rioters unable to expect Takao to catch her, whoโs efforts where focused elsewhere. Should the rioters chose not to help the shark would impact with an audible and heavy thud and crunch to those nearby, striking the ground on her side, blood trickling out from her twitching from, short hair strewn about and breathing heavily.
(Ooc: This isnโt a post to dip the event, sheโs still involved and what happens with her next post depends on what happens here :p)
Chakra 1700/1700 | Stamina 1410/1410 | Clan Sage 623/623
The telltale rumbling of a doton technique traveling through the ground. A whirling fuuton technique blasted in hiss direction. Incinerating hail from far above. A rumbling of the earth beneath her that was but trivial to a dancer of his degree. Kagerou's eyes darted between all three, smile inscrutable. He took a breath as he readied herself. Luckily, the target of the hail of fire was a higher rank shinobi like him, who also appeared to share his train of thought regarding the ban on chakra techniques; he would let him deal with it using his methods. At the slightest hint of the doton technique turning out to be a harmful attack, Kagerou was ready to retaliate with his own doton to stop it, but fortunately, it turned out to just be a cage. Undesirable but acceptable. However, this whirling wind headed straight for Eirene was another matter. Kagerou wouldn't let that touch the genin behind him.
Another attack, another lesson in table manners. Kagerou, happy to be just an observer and protector in the middle of this situation whipped his pair of chopsticks out at the incoming tornado. The wooden sticks blurred with speed as they reached out... only to crack with their own strength as they came in contact with the whirling winds. Mental reevaluation as Kagerou registered the mistake he had made: overestimating the durability of a pair of ordinary chopsticks. Mental alarm as he looked over his shoulder out of concern for the child he had just promised to protect, shutting down the thought that he had failed to protect again.
Kagerou quelled the thought. Quelled the emotions. He could hear Eirene above him speaking, putting in all of her effort to bring that megaphone to her face despite the whipping winds and speak with what little breath she could manage to bring into her lungs for the sake of everyone in the crowd. He would not risk Eirene's life, but neither would he risk this moment she had found for herself. Waited with bated breath, watching for the moment when the main character would need a supporting cast, Kagerou watched.
He watched only Eirene, eyes steady on the small body falling, clothes in tatters and discolored with blood. Not even the crash of the megaphone upon the ground brought a flinch out of the shinobi, who smiled even now. Scarlet eyes gleamed as he watched, the faintest of glows shining from the imperceptible spinning of his eyes. The chance Eirene so wanted, he would give her, but at the very last instant, should none of the shinobi gather to catch her, he'd intervene. The shark idol was, after all, just one shunshin away. A body flicker to wherever she might fall in the middle of the crowd was all it would take Kagerou to catch Eirene comfortably in his arms. After all, no message was worth delivering at the risk of the body, and children, even the children that were shinobi, were meant to be protected. At least, to whatever extents could be allowed.
Whether the case be that Kagerou needed to act to save Eirene from her self-inflicted fall or the crowd would finally come to their senses and catch the young one, Kagerou would softly sing under his breath, "You did well, good job," while releasing the pair of shattered chopsticks he had continued to hold all this way through, "May your wounds mend and spirits heal." Chakra carried through the song in his voice, weaving through the air and throughout the area. However, the healing technique the performance carried would appear to originate from Eirene instead, a faint blue glow coming from her chest as the technique activates. A healing technique that would heal everything from the most trivial to the most devastating of injuries, including injuries gained from even before this riot. If now, right after a selfless sacrifice from a woman who didn't even know if she belonged, a reckless show of camraderie from a man struggling to be his best, a call for sense and sensibility over madness from a budding hero, and a heartful speech from one of the youngest, was not the time for a small miracle to occur, Kagerou wasn't sure when would be. Hopefully, and she truly hoped this, that Eirene's plea would turn the hearts of the mob to see that the shinobi in front of them weren't their enemies, nor were they all that different from them.
And even if now wasn't the time and that the end was far from over, well, then as Takao so aptly put it: she already broke the rules. Quietly, while the healing caught the attention of the mob, Kagerou tapped her hand upon the ground and, with a finger, plucked as if it was a zither. Through the earth, a surge of doton chakra traveled to Sugichi to countered the wall that had built up around him, freeing him from his prison. It was the same technique that imprisoned Sugichi, but the intrusion of the newer force against the older would render both prisons obsolete. Hence, freeing him.

Insight: Confers a [2] point increase to agility, and the user can see any movements that happen within their field of view, with an acuity that is akin to precognition.
โฐ Medical Release: Instant Movement Technique [ Iryojutsu: Shunshin no Jutsu ] | Rank D Nearly exactly like the Maruton version of Shunshin, when utilizing Shunshin, upon arrival, or before leaving (choose one), those within two feet of the user's arrival or exit point will be restored of one tier one status. Usable thrice per battle, including the other versions of Shunshin.
โข Hippocratic Oath - Whatever it takes from her, Kagerou is determined to save every life she can, more so than taking any. When a healing eiseijutsu is used, a single healing or situational eiseijutsu of lower rank can be supplemented onto it for no extra cost in chakra or activation. This includes augment techniques.
โฐ Mystical Hand Technique [ Shousen Jutsu ] | Rank S Uses chakra to mend any and all wounds. Any stamina lost through any tier of trauma is automatically restored to the patient. If this technique is used on a target which has not endured trauma then they gain stamina double to the cost of this technique. If this technique is used on oneself then the stamina is only equal to the rank of the technique.
tabA technique modified by this manipulation changes its point of origin to anywhere within line of sight and 320 meters. In exchange, employing this manipulation takes an amount of chakra equal to one rank lower than the base technique, down to 5 chakra at lowest. When manifested with this manipulation, techniques give a telltale a sign, a brief indication in the instant that they activate. It could be the spark of a building katon technique, a lazily drifting bunch of chakra manifestation leaves to herald a futon technique, or even a deceptively cheery ball of bright energy that hides a harmful eisei technique within. tabThis is a manipulation to a base technique, and so takes zero activations to use. The element/type of this manipulation for the purpose of chakra reductions and the like is determined by the base technique. Multiple manipulations may be used on one technique. This manipulation cannot modify Taijutsu, Bukijutsu, or anything not wholly paid with chakra.
tabA technique modified by this korabo changes from its original shape into a controlled burst centered on the user that can spread in all directions up to the maximum range allowed for the rank of the base technique. E: 10 m D: 20 m C: 30 m B: 40 m A: 50 m S: 100 m S+: 200 m tabThis is a technique meant to korabo with another technique, known as the base technique, and so it has skewed values. When used alone, it acts as a rank weaker an simply releases a burst of concussive chakra at the ranges prescribed above. When koraboed with another technique, it acts as a rank higher. The element/type of this korabo for the purpose of chakra reductions and the like is determined by the base technique.
โฐ Rock Pillar Prison Technique [ Ganchuurou no Jutsu ] | Rank B | Variable The user forms the required hand signs, creating prison bars with a solid roof that expand over a forty foot area. This prison requires an A Rank potency to break through form within while the outside is treated at B Rank. This technique may be executed at higher ranks, doubling the size of the prison and increasing it's durability rank by one per rank increase.
With Sugichi trapped, Seika injured after saving the old man, and Eirene narrowly saved from crumbling to the earth by Kagerou, unease finally surged through the crowd. Dissonance grew within it as rioters began to take to two different opinions, that this wasn't the best method to get what they wanted or that this was all a trick to make the rioters give up the power they had rightfully gained. "Let them through!" One rioter had yelled to others, urging them to move away from Takao, Seika, and the old man. "It's a filthy trick!" The angry father up front shouted. "The APD will get here at any moment, don't give up the scrolls!""No, we need to put an end to this before more of us get hurt." Voices of anger, reason, and fear erupted throughout the crowd as it lost some of the unison it had previously experienced.
"Enough! We can't give up when we've gotten this far!" Someone yelled in the crowd before unfurling a jutsu, which immediately shot into the sky and darkened it -- the change happened fast enough that the crowd almost silenced at once, looking up and the daunting and lightning-riddled cloud that threatened to destroy the slums indiscriminately. "What were you thinking?" "Open another scroll to fight it!" "Don't open any!" "Yer gunna kill us!"
A little girl broke free of her father in the front and surged to Eirene's side, carrying an octopus plushie and wearing a mermaid sticker on her cheek. "Are you OK?" She asked with utter concern and wet eyes, worried for the shark girl and her green-haired friend.
"Don't touch me," the old man said to Takao and Seika, though his complaints were tired and lacking vitriol. "You bastards are to thank for all this, outside-inside doesn't matter. You hurt where the government tells you to hurt. Don't matter if you're a shinobi or an officer. No one serves the people no more."
"The shinobi are gonna arrest all of us with the APD's help in a minute! We need to finish them so we can scatter!" Despite the growth in sympathy for the shinobi, a majority of the crowd was uncertain or angry enough to side against them, still.
โฐ Raidenโs Fury [ Raiden no Moui ] | Rank S @ everyone / doesn't attack until next post The user forms the required hand signs, ending in a seal that resmbles the Yamanaka's signature hand sign. While focusing on a target through the formation of this seal they are required to hold throughout the technique for the remainder of their post and cannot be interrupted until the execution of the technique their following post. This causes the skies to turn black as a powerful lightning storm begins overhead, causing a down pour. Upon the second post, a beam of white lightning that is fifteen feet in width strikes the target, destroying anything of it's rank or lower in potency without leaving any remains within five hundred feet. This technique causes degradation as though it interacted with an object five times and tier two paralysis to those within range.

Takao's heart melted at Seika's sentiment, partly hurt that she still considered herself an outlier and partly enraged that all of them had ever been put in this situation to begin with. He could only rectify so much at a time. "Don't touch ya? I can manage that," he said unkindly, scooping up Seika in his arms and flickering back to the front of the riot [ Healing Body Flicker ]. Back by Eirene, Kagerou, Sugichi, he finally realized how slim their numbers had gotten. His expression was grim for only a moment before he focused up and healed the gash in Seika's chest [ Healing Hands: Major | A ]. "You did good, Seika," he said earnestly, though his attention was solely on her and not the thunderous cloud growing above them all. He rested his hand just below her collarbone thoughtfully. "You bled for the Storm. You aren't an outsider. I'm glad I get to call you my brother in arms. Er, sister. But same sentiment, yeah? You jumped in front of that water drill for me without hesitation." He clasped a strong hand on her shoulder, shaking her a bit as a big grin showed on his face despite the grim reality around them. "I owe you a drink when this is over."
He paused only to look at Eirene and Kagerou and Sugichi, sobering a bit. "Are you all alright?" His eyes stayed on Eirene, and he became immediately aware that Kagerou had used iryojutsu here. "You too?" He looked to the medic with a conflicted expression. Still, he knew Kagerou couldn't possibly get kicked out cuz, y'know, that was Kagerou. If he thought the Arashikage didn't have eyes everywhere, he'd totally cover and say he'd done all the jutsu here. But if the fallen around them had been swiftly taken by ANBU once struck, it was clear there were ANBU around with strict instructions not to interact with the crowd. To Kagerou, specifically, he hoped for some guidance. As a village elder - or whatever passes for one of those, these days - there should be wisdom and direction pouring out, right? He confessed: "I, um, I don't know when this'll end. Have you ever seen anything like this?"
1. w/e its that healing shunshin im not quoting it cuz it dont matter 2. healing hands w/e u know what it is
Seeing the concern in Takao's eyes, Kagerou chose to make one thing clear over anything else, "Yes, me too. It was my intentions from the start. No matter if the Arashikage strips me of my rank or even banishes me, I have a home and family outside of Arashigakure. When my punishment is more like a retirement, it only makes sense that I should soak up as much of it as I can," and more importantly, rank and residency in Arashigakure meant far less to Kagerou than the lives of all who stood here in the slums, on both sides.
A small child rushed from the crowd with eyes only for Eirene, and feeling the small body in his arms stor, Kagerou gently set it upon the ground. Cold as the streets were, he needed to stand, and he was sure that Eirene's answer alone would satisfy all of the child's worries.
Scarlet eyes moved from to the clouds and crowds next. He didn't survey the damage on their side, such an action unnecessary when he had been counting the bodies as they hit the floor. The pain would not leave the body and they would not awaken so easily, but the medical technique he had used earlier should have wholly healed all of those present. The dark skies stormed, with lightning imminent. Kagerou knew the technique used, yet he laughed, not at Takao's question, but at the first solution his mind devised. "Ahaha," after getting his emotions out, Kagerou answered Takao's question, his voice as surprisingly light hearted in the face of so little time as the earlier laughter, "Not at all, but tackling the unknown is part of the job description, right? For shinobi, doctors,... and even heroes, alike? And if you're looking for an answer like your eyes seem to be asking me, I don't think either you nor I will like the method I believe will be most effective." There was no further explanation to be given of this mysterious solution."On the contrary, I think we can both agree that storm needs to be stopped. Takao, if you have the fuuton element at your disposal, allow me to help. We're both going to be in for it with the Arashikage for disobeying orders, anyways, so how about we stick together and partner up to make sure no one gets hurt while the rest works out the peaceful resolution we all want to see?".
His gaze grew solemn following that optimistic plan, and though her smile did not disappear, it too grew somber. The plan, she still believed in it, but she also needed to make sure those still up among the shinobi understood what else was at stake here. "The civilians are the greatest danger to themselves, and it is because they perceive incorrectly the meaning of power. They think that if they can wave around techniques as we do, that they stand on equal footing with those trained in such arts, but that's a fallacy built upon insecurity. Perhaps it speaks to a more deep-rooted fear and misunderstanding they have of the power we hold. Regardless, we need to keep in mind that trust is difficult to build when one side feels threatened by the other, and unfortunately, if this is the case, then it will likely take many, many such situations as this before trust can be wholly established." Not everything was going to be peachy roses by simply quelling the crowd. There could be a bigger issue at play here that had no real solution. The power disparity between shinobi and civilians was very real, and who knows how much of the fear in the crowd now was fueled by that difference? An entire village leveled by a couple handful of terrorists? Then, immediately raised and restored by a single man? The residents of Arashigakure, certainly, had plenty of direct and up front experience with that terrifying scale of superhuman powers in these past few months.

Eirene didnโt fully notice her fall getting stopped as she was barely conscious in that moment. Still it wasnโt long that the kind shinobi released a healing force, spreading across and repairing her body and pulsing from their location to affect the crowd and everyone in the immediate area. โUwah that really hurtโฆ.. thank you for looking after me, I feel a lot betterโ The blue clad shark expressed to Kagerou, looking at her ruined hoodie and patting it off as if that was going to do anything, her tone rife with a combination a drain from the prior pain and appreciation for the help. Eirene looked up from herself and over to the young girl who so kindly came over to her side and offered her worry, Eirene beaming at the girl with a reassuring grin. โI am ok, Sharks are real rough didnโt you know!โ She said whilst pulling a spare shark hat from her slightly ripped backpack and put it on the girls head, giving her a pat and continuing. โThere we are, now you are a strong shark too! Please try not to worry, we are all here to help and we wonโt let anyone else get hurt, I promise!โ She expressed and gave her a comforting pat, looking up at the impeding Jutsu building up to unleash from the sky. Eirene recognized the type of technique incoming, this was something her dad or long lost uncle might create and it did bode well.
Eirene looked around and back to her fellow performers and made a hand signal, before pulling out a microphone, which was connected to the speakers her friends had set up by this time, tugging on Kagerouโs sleeve and saying โI think we kinda gotta drop the now chakra thingโฆ if you can weaken or stop that technique, Iโll create a barrier for the people with music and bonds!!โ She announced as she stepped back a little and climbed ontop of some of the damaged ground to gain a little height, lifting up a hand with three raised fingers that she lowered as she counted before bursting out into song as instruments blared into life to create the fast paced but pop style song they were improvising on the spot. โBUBBLES N PEP, LETS BEING THE MAGIC!!! One, two, three GO!!!โ heyyy, why donโt you look at us, standing together and sharing trust, surrounded in a dome of our magic loveeeee! When we together, nothinโ gonna take us dowowownnnnnnn! Nothing can get through the strength of our uni-ty, just try and get through you will see, that together as one no thundercloud can put down Arashigakureeeeee!!โ There was a shift in the rhythm as it took a more repetitive and chorus like, Eirene turning to the crowd, several other members of bubbles n pep joining in at this point in unison with the lead shark. โSo come on and show us what you got, as it will never, never break us! So come on, come on, come on, come on, we will show you what we got! Come on, come on, come on, come on and sing along with this song, weโre stronger together!โ The lyrics would persist along a similar note as a see through, multi-coloured dome started to stretch up and around the entire district and almost beyond, the same coloured effect lighting up on the buildings and even produced as an aura from anyone participating in the song itself, whether as band or person paying attention, a calming wave like effect was produced by the combination of instruments, nothing manipulative of the senses and simply soothing as she didnโt want to cross any lines but an explosive panic could be devastating. Eirene would signalled to the young girl to join her as the band continued singing the chorus as Eirene spent the moment showing the other girl the hastily created and convincing her to signing along with her on the next run on the songs verse, there only being one as this again, was made on the fly.

Active Techs n timers Act 1: The stage is set S-rank (Used to create protective dome thatโs appearance looks stronger and more colourful the more people signing, will shift the sounds of thunder when the attack strikes and blunt a portion of its forces, visually absorbing the lightning into the dome into an even more impressive light show.) Act 2: Act 3:
โฐ The Stage is Set [ Sutฤji ga Settei ] | Rank X | Cost: Chakra The cornerstone to set the ideal scene for the performer, this ability changes the entire thread it is used in, as prevents any other jutsu at the rank this was used at below from altering the thread once it has been laid. Similar to a keystone, this ability takes three effects of the user's choice to allow to the story. This could mean something like creating a swamp and then having that swamp has sticky properties to those that travel through it, requiring chakra paid to free oneself, whatever is desired. While being used this way, these effects may be korabo'd into the user's performance korabo for free, creating a three-way korabo between the jutsu. The limitations of this jutsu are listed below:
* โข This jutsu must follow a storybook progression. Unlike a true keystone, this ability cannot have all of its effects active at one time. Instead, they must follow the progression order of a beginning, middle, and an end. When transferring to the next part of the story the previous part loses its power but can remain after, as an aesthetic effect if desired. Meaning once you reached the next part of your story, the swamp would lose its sticky power but could remain behind as a means to set the โsceneโ without breaking the flow of the reading. Each separate effect cannot last more than [3] posts. * * โข Storybook created items lack elemental properties that the performer does not possess when they interact with real-world items and beings. For instance, writing that a fireball falls from the sky will only deal blunt force trauma as opposed to burning, unless the performer possesses the fire element. Ninjutsu users may apply their enhanced element effects to these storybook creations as well. * * โข Much the same as other custom effects, no storybook created effect may be written so that it is a direct auto-hit OR write the death of a character that isnโt initially part of the story. As in, you could not say: write that that their RPC starts out poisoned, but instead write they are traveling through a poisoned cloud. * * โข Similar to other song jutsu, performers may utilize either your squad, or the assistance of other class performers, or even yourself, this ability may have its current effect duration increased by one post each time that performance is written in their post. Doing so costs an activation (or all activations in the case of a squadron) but no chakra, and can only a maximum of one activation may be spent this way at a time. Performance assistance from multiple sources does provide more than a single post increase but does improve your chances for upkeep this effect uninterrupted. * * โข Kai may be used to free oneself from a storybook effect but does not end the use of the story jutsu itself. This freedom counts as immunity from all story effects for up to one post after the kai isu sed. After that, if the performance has been upkept, they are subject to its effects once more.
โFuuton? What dโya take me for?โ Takao gave Kagerou a confident wink and a thumbs up. As he spoke, a small gust of wind began to swirl around him. โIโd be a shoddy Seven Tails host if I didnโt, now wouldnโt I?โ After weaving a quick set of handsigns, Takao guided the emerald wind up into the sky. It was strong by itself, but should Kagerou choose to work with him, the two jutsu would be more than enough to disperse the lightning. However, the clouds mysteriously didnโt fade, but Takao wasnโt as concerned with that as he was with the rioters in front of them. [Wind Stream Rank A, possible Korabo with Kagerou to S Rank?] The man could feel a bead of sweat drip from his brow. The villagers before them were wound up enough as it was, and he knew that firing a jutsu sent a bad message. But he couldnโt just let them all die from the Raiton jutsu, so he figured heโd take his lumps like an adult and everything would sort itself out. Besides, it wasnโt like Miyuki would do anything to him that was worse than heโd experienced already.
Before the ramifications of firing jutsu came from the rioters, the two groups were suddenly separated. A giant wall made of ice formed in the road, blocking one end of the street all the way to the other. The wall was massive, taller than most buildings in the immediate area, and it divided the small group of shinobi from the swarm of angry citizens. As soon as the wall formed, Musica slid down from the top, collecting loose frost at her feet as she landed on the rioters side of the wall, facing them. โSorry Iโm late,โ she said over her shoulder to the shinobi. Musica could see the wounded Seika out of the corner of her eye and she could feel righteous anger welling up inside of her. Her good arm trembled as she clenched her fists, but she did her best to hide it otherwise. Lashing out wasnโt going to save anyone, and she knew that. And on a level she knew, too, that this riot had been her fault from the beginning. Musica had let her pride cloud her judgment when taking in Hiroshi. Sheโd favored a personal vendetta over the lives of the very people she was sworn to protect.
โMy name is Musica Knote,โ she said to the rioters. Her blue eyes lit up like tiny storms fueled by her determination. โAnd Iโm the chief of the APD.โ This news sent waves of whispers among the crowd of rioters. The police chief? Here? Now? The disbelief would soon shift to rage as Musicaโs appearance fleshly lit the fires of rebellion.
โI told ya theyโd come! Quick, scatter! Before she arrests us!โ
โOh, all of us? Thereโs only one of her, genius! We can take her down right now! Kill the problem at its source!โ
โQuick, letโs get out of here-!โ
โWould you all shut up?!โ Musica yelled, cutting off the rioters. She could feel her frustration taking over, but she refused to lift a finger or form a sign still. โListen.โ She took a breath and her tone was league more calm. โI know itโs hard to trust us, but the shinobi of this village are dedicated to protecting you. All of you. And some people twisted that system and used it for their own, ill gotten gain. And no amount of work will be able to undo the damage theyโve done." Musica paused for a second, letting her words hang in the air, before continuing. โMy predecessor did some messed up s**t with his position. Irreparable damage to the people he swore to protect. The best thing I can offer, as his replacement, is to take full responsibility for his actions.โ Musica thrust her hands out to her sides, a motion protecting the shinobi, and the village, behind her. โI only ask that you take that frustration, that anger, that hate, and take it out on me and me only!โ
There was silence from the rioters before they began to whisper among themselves. Was she serious? Musica stood, unflinching at the mob, and told them that yes she was entirely serious. One of the men was the first to break from the crowd, a hate filled grin on his face. โWell if yer offerinโ.โ He pulled a wooden bat from one of the scrolls he carried as he towered over the young woman. โThen who am I to refuse?!โ He snarled before swinging the bat down on her head. Musica made no move to stop it, and the weapon cracked her over the head with enough force that the weapon split into two. The man got a few more shots in, randomly placed blows that forced the Jonin to stagger. Filled up with the fire of anger, inspired by the one man, more of the crowd gathered around the white haired shinobi, each taking their own turns pummeling her.
Musica never considered herself to be very durable. It was always something she lacked and, instead of working on it, she did her best to avoid getting hit. With each blow she cursed her past self for that choice. Blood flowed freely from the wound on her head as other strikes pushed her against the wall of ice sheโd created. The shinobi behind it would see the ice shake with each strike, but it would never crack. Some rioters would even open some of their scrolls, hitting Musica would bursts of water, blasts of lightning, or jets of wind. She didnโt know how long it would be, but it felt like an eternity, before the first man picked her up by the throat and held her against the wall. โThanks fer yer help, chiefโ he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he sneered at her. He pulled a blade out from behind him with his free hand and pressed it against her chest. โI think weโll be takinโ yer offer to resign. For good!โ
โThat is enough.โ A voice commanded before the man could impale Musica. There was a flash of movement and a splash of ink before the young Jonin was let go. Musica fell to her hands and knees, gasping for breath and bleeding profusely. And in front of the girl stood Miyuki, appearing as a stark silhouette between the battered shinobi and the hysterical crowd. Next to her was the giant Hoshigaki, Thresher, with Kabutowari strep to her back. Miyukiโs Arashikage hat tipped upwards as she looked over her citizens, stoic expression morphing into one of anger and disgust. "This is over," she announced, voice falling over the riot. She could hear murmurs about the kage being present and even picked up talk about launching a scroll at her, but she let it pass without remark. "There will be order. You will not strike the shinobi that lay their life on the line for your security in the face of global threats like the Jashinists or the inter-village threats like human trafficking or the intravillage threats of theft, in-fighting, and cold cases."
A soft uproar appeared among the crowd, with various civilians complaining about corruption, declaring themselves unsafe, or demanding more from Miyuki herself.
"Silence." She pulled her paint brush out, letting the crowd witness how ink dripped from it. In anyone else's hand, it meant next to nothing. In hers, it was like holding the entire village hostage: she could lift the village back into the sky or crush it deep underground with the prowess of her ink. She could drown the crowd in a second, or suffocate them, or pierce their hearts. It would only take a swipe of a brush. And when the threat visibly landed, she cleared her throat. "I am not accepting debate. If you are upset with the functions of the village, you know where the gate is. If you are upset with the functions of the village, you know where to make yourself heard in a more democratic process. If you are upset with me, you know how to spew your hate. But there will be no excuses, no hand-holding, no forgiveness, for further actions taken against my village."
She scanned the crowd, seeing their mixed reactions and sensing the tension in the air. "You will drop all of your weapons and disperse immediately," she declared, "Or you will experience the punishment for treason by my very hand."
Miyukiโs and Thresherโs sudden appearance put a still over the crowd, in a way that Musicaโs had not. Musicaโs had shocked them, but this? With Miyuki and Thresher both staring them down, it was visible just how frightened they were by the Kageโs threats. With all eyes on her, the remnants of the storm would go unnoticed until it was too late. From the very heavens, two threads made of chakra would shoot down into the crowd. The threads glowed with an unnatural energy as they shot through the air towards their intended targets: the young girl with the octopus, and the old man Seika had saved. It was impossible for Musica to tell what these cords were for, but it was obvious they were bad news. There was a blur of motion and Miyuki and Thresher had moved. For all of their grandstanding about treason, the two went to protect the civilians in the blink of an eye, intercepting the cords with their own bodies. The chakra cords passed through them, disappearing like fishing lines into water, complete with ripples that shared a color with the cords. Miyuki and Thresherโs eyes went wide and they suddenly went pale. The very lights in their eyes faded as the cords were reeled back, pulling glowing masses right out from their bodies before the two fell to the ground, limp.
Musica watched on in horror, unable to move and unable to figure out just what the hell was going on. She wasnโt the only one, as many people in the former riot watched with their jaws wide open as the glowing masses rose back up. In the confusion, one more cord would come down, this time shooting right towards Musica. She flinched, readying herself for whatever fate she would share with her Kage, before something shattered behind her. Her eyes shot open in time to see Takao standing before her, the chakra cloak of Chomei covering his body along with shards of ice from the wall sheโd created. The thread aimed for her was stuck right in his chest, but the man just gripped it with his hands and refused to let go. โDonโt thinkโฆ for a secondโฆ that you get to hog all of the glory, Musicaโฆโ Takaoโs words came out in chunks, as he was obviously struggling against the effects of whatever was happening. He was able to stall the effects of the cord, unlike Miyuki and Thresher, due to his nature as Jinchuriki, Musica suspected. โI was wondering what that build up of chakra was earlier.โ Takao continued as the cord tugged, forcing him to grunt uncomfortably. โI thought it was that jutsu that was shot off earlier, but I guess someone was just using it as a distraction. Whoever it wasโฆ they set all of this upโฆโ Takao choked as the cord tugged more, pulling the same mass of energy that was pulled from Miyuki and Thresher. Takao slowly removed his hands and slipped them into his pocket before pulling out a cigarette and a lighter. He lit the stick with a click of his lighter before putting it into his mouth, taking a deep inhale, and then exhaling a cloud of smoke. โHeh, looks like my luck's run out. Musica, you need to get everyone out of here, and then send whoeverโs responsible straight to hellโฆ And Iโll know if you did, โcause Iโll be waiting there for them myselfโฆโ With his last words, Takaoโs soul was ripped from his body like a fish from a lake. He went limp as he fell wordlessly to the ground. Musica could only stare on in horror as the last cord retracted up to the top of a building nearby. With the blood in her eyes and the fatigue from her wounds blurring her vision, the Jonin couldnโt make out too many details. Just a person, draped in a brown hooded cloak, watching over the conflict as the cords of chakra slithered back into their sleeve. Musica struggled to get to her feet, but collapsed just as she saw this figure perform a Body Flicker away. She would mumble something about going after him before sheโd lose consciousness.

Seika closed her eyes, accepting the healing that had been done to her as her entire body would begin to ache. The adrenaline of the recent wound had finally run its course and left the swordswoman with a sheer amount of pain in her chest. Thankfully, Takao had taken care of most of the damage, as the flesh and meat would rejuvenate in force, although not without a noticeable scar on her lower stomach. At his words, the girl would smile weakly, exhaling as she'd painfully laugh to herself. "Maybe sometime soon...I don't think I can get up just yet. I just need some time to relax..." A bit of a bad place to request some rest, but Seika would seem to be all out of luck as the crowd would soon run out. The proceeding events would turn bad for sour the girl.
It began with A giant wall of ice blocking the shinobi from the rioters. The construction of this barrier had caused Seika to slowly standing up, legs shaking as she tried to balance herself. Her sheaths jangled across the exposed bit of thigh her attire awarded her, irises locking onto the creator of this wall. Musica would be standing up to the villagers, her voice booming across the area as the Seiryu would be unable to stop herself from worrying. Once it became apparent what was happening, Seika would suddenly find her Second Wind. "N-No..." she muttered under her breath at Musica. The people took this chance to beat her senseless as the samurai's fists balled until they turned white. She ran up towards the wall, kicking off as she body flickered her way top in a mad dash to the top. Once there, Seika would spot the broken chief on the ground, with the dissenter brandishing a knife. She rushed forward still to try and stop the knife, only to be cut off as Miyuki would soon enter the fray alongside Thresher and sentence the riots away. It wasn't long after that another development would happen.
Threads manifested between several people, including the Kage and her companion. Musica was about to be hit if not for the timely intervention of Takao. Tears flowed out of the girls eyes now, watching the very few people she had spoken with before removed from this world by a hidden hand in the darkness. With the crowd dispersed but the situation just as dire, it wasn't long before the samurai was about to get to Musica's unconscious body. Seika reached down to pick the APD Chief up in her arms, a look of utter defeat and uncertainty as clear as day on her face. What would happen next? The village was left without a leader, its strongest shinobi and now, left defenseless aside from the few shinobi here that could reasonably defend it. She furrowed her brows and would make for the hospital to get her wounds tended to.
After arriving and having the medics tend to Musica's wounds, Seika watched as the woman would rest in her bed. Waiting until the coast was clear, the samurai would limp inside, her tired body finally giving away as she felt the warm embrace of the bed approaching. The impact was brief, but she'd slowly just wrap and arm around Musica, leaning her head against the chief's and finally allow her body some semblance of rest, nodding off as the chaos ensued.

โฑโฐโฑKenshin made his way through the area and seeing the chaos that unfolded was disheartening. He felt enraged at himself that he was not here in time. He wondered what he could have done had he been here to support Miyuki. Now she was gone and he needed to determine what to do next. He checked the area for survivors and received full status updates from subordinate shinobi and officers. The sannin checked in with the medical staff before being given access to Musica. She seemed to be healing well but had sustained serious injuries from the riot. It was difficult to see the consequences of chaos, which he spent his entire life fighting against. He stood to the side for a long time, waiting for Musica to regain consciousness. The village was in need of a government and Kenshin was willing to spend extra time in the village if possible to help get it back on its feet. "Musica, how are you feeling?" He asked, wondering if his words would wake her up as he stood to the side. He did not recognize who was in the bed with her but he assumed that they would be introduced soon.

Personal Attributes โฑโฐโฑ Piercing Accuracy | The clansman is more proficient than his fellow clan members at striking tenketsu. One's gentle fist application allows them to reduce 1.5 times the amount of chakra spent in a juken strike instead of 1.25. For example, if one spends 100 chakra on a gentle fist technique, the attack robs the target of 150 instead of the 125 normal clansmen would reduce. โฑโฐโฑ Purest Lineage | The clansman's thoroughbred lineage allows them access to the Byakugan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. In addition, should they unlock the Tenseigan, they may have 50% less reserves to maintain it than other clan members and may also activate the Tenseigan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. โฑโฐโฑ Physical Prowess | The Hyuga gains a [2] point increase in any stat after mastering stage 3 of the gentle fist and another [2] points after mastering stage 6 for a total of [4] rather than [2]. In addition, the Hyuga gains [3] custom slots to be used exclusively for the gentle fist style and [1] taijutsu style slot. โฑโฐโฑ Genetic Palette | With intensive genetic therapy and strong blood, this character is able to possess more than one transplant. This allows the character up to two transplants total, of any of the three categories. โฑโฐโฑ Thundering Justice | Lightning-based techniques used by the Hatake are granted a concussive blast in the form of a sonic boom upon impact. This concussive blast has a range of five feet per rank of the parent technique. Those within the area of the blast have a knock-back effect applied if their body rank is lower than the parent technique. In addition, deafness is applied upon impact for two posts. โฑโฐโฑ Tsunami of Justice | Kenshin gains access to the water element. โฑโฐโฑ Ionic Blade | The user's bukijutsu and basic combat weapon strikes may be made complex to add their lightning element to the attacks. This causes tiered paralysis on contact equal to the rank of the technique it is paired with. โฑโฐโฑ Blessings of Valor | As a world-famous hero, you are forever bestowed with an extra reward in arc, timeskip, and guildwide events. โฑโฐโฑ Short-Circuiting Juken | For an additional amount of chakra that is half of the amount spent for the original technique, Hatake chidori raiton can be applied to complex juken techniques to inject the enemy's body with lightning. The Hatake's chidori raiton inflicts a tier of full-body paralysis that is equivalent to the technique's rank up to the second tier. This paralysis lasts for two posts per rank of the technique at a maximum of six posts. Applying Chidori chakra to the Juken consumes a second offensive activation. โฑโฐโฑ Storm Sage | Lightning techniques cast while in sage mode and when enhanced by nature chakra burn brighter and inflict a tier of blindness that is equivalent to the technique's rank. This blindness lasts for two posts per rank of the technique at a maximum of six posts. โฑโฐโฑ Stern Spirit | Reiken no Michi virtue states cost one rank less in stamina to activate and maintain. The stamina cost of the virtue states cannot be reduced beyond this. โฑโฐโฑ Raijin Drum | While in human sage mode, Kenshin is able to self-korabo one lightning technique, one wind technique, and one water technique into one three-times powerful truth-seeking orb. This consumes the chakra of the three techniques on his nature chakra reserves but only one offensive action. This can only occur once for every three posts. โฑโฐโฑ Conduction Mastery | Kenshin is able to self-korabo his lightning and water techniques more efficiently by paying 10 less chakra when one raiton and one suiton are combined. โฑโฐโฑ The Grand Order | Status effects affect the templar by [1] tier lower at a minimum of tier 1 when defending their religion's faithful and their houses of worship. This PA is only obtained by grand templars and is automatically obtained once that title is granted. โฑโฐโฑ Eye of the Storm | When using techniques or abilities based on the water and-or lighting element, including ranton and other bloodline techniques their rank is increased depending on the proximity to the user. When 20-25 feet from the user, techniques are increased by one rank in strength, when 5-10 feet from the user, techniques are increased by two ranks. โฑโฐโฑ Conductive Destruction | Ranton users are masters of their elements so one Raiton and one Suiton ninjutsu can be self-Koraboed for only one offensive activation. This ability can only be used once per three posts. If both Raiton and Suiton techniques are used in the same post then they are all reduced by 5 chakra per rank of the technique.

Weapon Specs โฐ Weapon Name: Getsuruitล โฐ Weapon Type: Katana & Rapier [ Reiken Spirit Sword ] โฐ Weapon Size: 38 Inches Total | 30 Inch Blade | 8 Inch Hilt โฐ Style Categorization: Medium Sword โฐ Weapon Weight: 3 lbs โฐ Stat Increase: +2 Speed โฐ Elemental Affinity: Lightning โฐ Description: Getsuruitล (ๆๆถๅ, Moon Tear Sword) is a legendary sword that was reworked and merged with the standard-issue Kumogakure Police Department officer rapier commissioned to Kenshin Kosei named Purity. The original form of the sword is a steel and dark blue katana with a bronze crossguard and dragonhead handle. It also has a rapier form that was refined from Purity and is entirely constructed from steel with a dark blue handle and basket hilt. The katana and rapier forms are the same size and constructed of the same materials. Getsuruito was considered a legendary artifact by the people of Seizan as it was wielded by an ancient general. When the rusted blade was awarded by the locals to Kenshin Kosei he discovered that it had the unique ability to merge with and empower one other weapon. When the katana was reworked to its fullest potential it had the abilities of his own weapon in addition to incredible lightning abilities. โฐ Ability Summary: Righteous Sword of the Sentinel [ Senchineru no Seigi no Ken ] | Rank E | Bloodline | Spiritual All forms of Hyuuga techniques including the gentle fist can be used through the sword for the 10 posts that this technique is active. This means that strikes involving the blade cause physical damage including stab wounds as well as seal tenketsu points and any other effects of the technique used through the sword. An additional 5 chakra can be applied to the blade to prevent it from causing physical damage from thrusting but instead seal tenketsu points and inflict pain similar to a stab wound in the area struck but slashing attacks can still cause damage. Half the resource cost of techniques from the rapier style of Sen Gekiretsu Nagareboshi applied allows the technique to carry the tenketsu sealing effects of a same-rank palm strike such as a B-Rank carrying 64 Palms effects. Getsuruito must be in its rapier form to use this ability and 5 chakra can be spent upon activation of this technique to transform it as such. The Righteous Sword of the Sentinel technique has a 10 post duration before necessitating re-activation and costs an E-Rank amount of chakra. The initial activation of this technique consumes an action but all subsidiary abilities of the technique do not.
Smiting Blade of the Night Watch [ Naitล Otchi no Sumittinguburฤdo ] | Rank X | Bukijutsu [ Lightning ] | Spiritual When this technique is activated it crackles violently with night blue lightning for the entire duration. The electricity from the blade also forms bolts of lightning over the body of the user and appears to supercharge them. Whenever the blade is swung or thrust over the duration the user can fire a concentrated blast of ten bolts of lightning to accompany the strike equal to the rank applied but for only half the cost to initiate the technique. Hatake, Raiu, and Sage enhanced lightning can pass through the blade and apply to these lightning bolts. The bolts cause a thunderously deafening sonic boom and can inflict tier 2 burns upon direct contact with the lightning. Additionally, these lightning bolts can be freely applied to all complex bukijutsu for no action cost to smite enemies. The only action cost is when the technique is activated and all subsidiary abilities of the technique do not consume actions and only chakra. This ability can be used in both forms of Getsuruito.
Draconic Sabre of Moon Sundering [ Getsu Sandaringu no Dorakonikku Seibฤ ] | Rank X | Bukijutsu [ Lightning ] | Complex This is the original ability of the ancient Getsuruito blade and thus requires the original katana form. 5 chakra can be spent to transform the blade to its original form upon activation of this technique. Crackling and thunderous dark blue lightning can be applied to the katana's edge at any rank and the same lightning can form a dragon head formed from electricity over the body of the user for 10 posts. This allows all spiritual techniques the sword comes into contact with to be slashed through and even cut in half at the same rank despite the complex nature of the technique. For half of the original cost to activate the technique a same-rank spiritual electrical energy slash can be sent out from the slash of the blade. This same cost can be applied to any complex bukijutsu to achieve the same effect. The original 10 post activation of this ability consumes an action but all subsidiary abilities do not.

Crashing ice and rage and thunder. As soon as the ominous gathering of dark clouds seemed to be dealt with, a streak of white erupted from the ground, creating crystalline walls that towered over the buildings. Ice or Crystal? Threat or Aid? Kagerou was in the process of deciphering these new circumstances when he heard the sweeping of frost clear as ice. Musica's voice rang with the clarity of determination on the other side of the wall, and Kagerou knew exactly what would happen from the very way the captain of the police stood, distorted as it appeared through the thick sheet of ice. His smile turned into gritted teeth, but his body refused to move to intervene, as if it knew. One beating, two beatings. Blood stained pure white hair and ice alike. He could no longer bear to watch. As bells rang whilst Kagerou raised a hand, he sensed the presence of two additional signatures, large ones, approaching rapidly. Fingers paused mid-snap and eyes slid up to the skies just in time to see two more of Arashigakure's leaders land. A sigh of relief, the body's muscles loosening, as if free once more. "So this is the resolution?" Kagerou thought, convinced, as he watched Miyuki give her speech, Thresher standing imposingly behind her.
If only it had been. If only Kagerou hadn't focused so much on the tempestuous crowd in front of him and looked above at the other tempest brewing. If only he had been more alert, his mind less foggy from sleepless nights, and his sense of caution more acute. He had fallen too easily into a false sense of security once all the power players had shown up. A sense of, "Ah they are here now. Then this crisis of the village is no longer one I need to prepare to apprehend," that swiftly had himr focusing more on his profession as a doctor than his skills as a shinobi. It wasn't that he didn't think he should have so quickly shifted his focus to surveying the damage of all involved and preparing to treat them. He should have been doing that while also noticing the chakra gathering in the skies right above him.
Only after Kagerou heard the telltale clack of shoes tapping off of pavement into a swift leap did the green haired medic realized he had relaxed too soon. Eyes darted up just in time to see bright light pierce the Arashikage and her lover, the targets they had taken the attack for but shadows behind them... No, the little girl and elder were never the targets in the first place. They had been a bait that the true targets had no choice but to take. Face turned up in alarm, eyes focusing on key points of the technique as he stood up. What was this attack? Bells rang, chakra readying just as glowing scarlet irises tracked a third spear of light just as she hopped to the top of Musica's wall of ice, intending to use it to launch herself after the couple's body. Who to go for? The lifeless bodies of the village's top leaders? Or to try and save the one that was yet alive? A sharp turn from her original plans and Kagerou was speeding down the ice wall rather than up off of it. Fast as he might have wanted, though, it was only in time to get a front row seat to Takao's sacrifice. The cloak he generated to protect himself stopped Kagerou from advancing any further while he struggled to fight against the spear... No, it looked more like a cord now that she watched, a rope trying to grab and pull something from the Jinchuuriki's body. The bijuu was the first thought, but quickly discarded. It was too simple and answer that didn't explain why Miyuki and Thresher were attacked.
No matter what he thought, however, it was all useless. Frustration had him biting into his lower lip until it bled while all he could do was watch and heed Takao's final moments. As soon as the Nanabi's chakra cloak dispelled, Kagerou was right besides Takao, catching him as he fell, already knowing that he would feel no pulse from the body he held before it even landed in his arms. Still he searched. Ten minutes. That was the time Kagerou personally allotted for a miracle to occur. Only the mumbling followed by the rustle of clothes as Musica, in her exhaustion, also slumped besides her drew Kagerou's attention away from Takao. A hand was quick to stop the captain from simply collapsing unattended onto the hard surface, but sensing Seika's gaze, Kagerou withdrew his hand once he was rest assured that Musica still breathed and lived. Following that, clones were created to also quickly tend to the bodies of Miyuki and Thresher now that the panicked crowd had grown so disarrayed that they would be easy to maneuver through. He put all of her attention in tending to the lifeless body, trying all he could save his own death to bring them back all to... no avail.
By the time the paramedics arrived, Seika had already taken Musica to the hospital and Kagerou had lain the lifeless bodies neatly in a row. Small squares of white cloth covered the faces of the deceased as she busied herself tending to the injured and yet alive. When she made eye contact with those who came to attend to three who had lost their souls, Kagerou could only shake her head dejectedly before turning back around to treat the concussion of a young, horned child.
When she returned to the hospital, the child with her until he was given to the care of a nurse, there was no rest to be found or free time to be had. Between the two attacks earlier today and the third now, there was a buzz of chaos that he had to maintain order within. No amount of preparation or training to function without direct leadership, and the staff had plenty of it with Kagerou's frequent absences, would have been able to prepare the hospital from losing two of the village's key leader figures and hospitalizing a third. Kagerou, though she had returned to smiling once more, was getting a headache just from thinking about it.
He was too late. He was too late. It couldn't be. Everything had happened so quickly. The riot had turned for the worse and Takao had directed Glass Boy to help the civilians. So, he did but that left him way from his mentor. Glass Boy was supposed to have his back, but he didn't. The boy was running toward Speed man almost as if he were in slow motion. He could only watch in horror as his mentor was pierced in the chest to protect a girl. "NO! Speed Man!" The boy cried out, barely being able to choke out the words. Glass boy fell to his knees as the man gave his final goodbyes to Musica. Then like it was nothing, his soul was pulled straight out of his body. "Speed man!" Glass boy was absoulutely gutted to watch his mentor die like that. The boy forced himself to his feet and began to run after his mentor. Calling out his name the entire time as another woman graciously caught Takao. Once again he would collapse on his knees at Takao's side. "You can't leave me... Everyone else has..." Glass Boy said in a defeated tone as he placed a hand on his mentor's chest. He had failed him. If only he had been there for Speed man then maybe he wouldn't have died. He was fast enough, he knew it. He was supposed to have his back. Glass Boy couldn't stop the tears from pouring down his face. They had only been together for a short time, but Takao had taught him so much and given his mission more of a purpose. He just wished he had the chance to thank him. "I-I'm sorry Speed Man. I'll make it up to you..." Glass Boy said before disappearing in a flash of light. Someone was going to pay for this. And they were going to pay with their life.
