Just as with all their other attempts up until now, the ghost did not respond to the kai of Ichika. The only tangible effect that could be seen was a slight rippling across the artist's body, but his movements returned to normal after a fee seconds. So he would remain until young Mina began rummaging around in the discarded chest that lay collecting dust in the corner.
For the first time since they had gotten there the man's pale white eyes noticed that he was no longer aline in the room. "Oh dear! sahrry ahbout zat but I hahve a tendency to lahse myself een ze ahrt you see ahnd I.. ahhh wait a secahnd. you ahre here fahr one of my painteengs ahren't you?" Placing his hand on his chest the ghost threw his head back, laughing in a self assured manner. "Do naht deny whaht ees clear to my eye. I knew zat juju would send sahmeone eventually. leesten, I know zat he must be eagair to see my wahrk but I would be deestraught eef I deed naht ahsk fahr you ahsseestahnce right now. Zese pahmpous fools upstairs nevair ahppreciated me een life ahnd even less so een death! Zey ahlways prahmised me zat zey would hahve my ahrtwahrk een ze gahllery upstairs but now eet just seets here cahllecteeng dust! Eef you could do ahn old ahrteest a fahvahr.. I would hahppeely trahde you juju's painteeng eef you were to frahme my wahrk een zat chest ahnd plahce eet upstairs weethout ahnyone seeing you? zey would surely tahke eet down otherwise." The more that the ghost talked about his plight the more a sadness overtook his words. This was his life's work and here it was to be locked away forever in some rotten basement. Buuut on the other what problem was it of these children to try and solve a dead man's problems anyway? These paintings clearly meant a lot to him and if they didn't feel like it they could probably extort to poor fellow... "Oh! One mahre sing you must mahke sure zat ze frahmes fit weeth ze right painteengs ahs well! I will naht settle fahr ahnytheeng less zan perfection fahr my cheeldren." Near the end of sentence the host's words started to cut in and out like he was talking from far away. More than likely hinting that the artist wouldn't be able to hold his attention here for mich longer as he was draw away by some supernatural force.
(( In the chest is as follows:
1 blue frame 1 white frame 4 green frames 4 pink frames 4 black frames 4 brown frames
1) Picture of two dirty looking miners. Both working very hard. One appears to have found a rare looking gem while the other seems to be grumbling to himself with his hands on his hips.
2) A woman dressed in a long white robe, her expression is very sad like she has been crying profusely. She is sitting down with her back against a tree and a lake in the background.
3) A blonde girl in a blue dress. She looks like she is in a cemetery and she is running away with fear on her face from a ghost that is raising from the grave behind her.
4) A family portrait all celebrating what looks like a birthday of a very elderly (grandma) woman. She looks very excited and happy to have all of her family around her. ))

Ichika nearly jumped out of her skin as the ghost spoke to them, finally recognizing their presence. She listened to his tale with a mixture of horror and apprehension. However, she had to trust Sensei Jujubean and she had to trust her own ambitions to become a legitimate ninja. "Um, okay, we can definitely put those paintings around the museum."
She looked at the chest and the frames. "Can't we just put all black frames on the paintings?"

He was clunky now, as if he was trying to fight back against some kind of spell that forced his body back to conforming into it's shape Despite this the artist managed to force his neck to face Ichika with a look of pure horror. "N-oo! zey must be ahbsahlutely perfect or ze soul behind eet will be destroyed!"

Sadayo needn't worry about Genjutsu landing because almost as if a shock to the system. In the beat of a heart time seemed to stand still. Not for Sadayo but..for Demetrius and his sister. A look of abject horror spread across his face. Had Sadayo's genjutsu struck true? No that wasn't it at all as if in a panic what seemed like prankish ploy turned into screaming agony. There was a mark on the boys face. One he shared with his sister. It, with no warning, seemed to start reacting in some sort of way. A sort of way that was causing the former dancer excruciating pain. His face turning red and assuming a shade of red. He'd clutch his face with both his hands tensed with eyes wide calling out to his sister. "DDD.DEMETRIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"Nyyyyyyyyyygyaaaah!" shifting one's attention to the sister she too was suffering a similar plight... pained words coming from ragged breaths... the secret agent bit she was attempting had all but failed as she was on the ground floundering clutching her face in expressive agony. "H..Ellz goin o.....Auuuuuuuuuugh!" Something of a transformation it seemed was occurring. It was as if the gods themselves had altered the very beings that were the delinquent duo themselves. Was this righteous punishment? Who knew but if anything it was as if their entire bloodline or the bloodline they had once had before and a full understanding of was in real-time changing and their bodies were having a confused if not negative reaction to it. Their very cells inflaming.
There was no need for further combat, because in short the problem was solving itself. Albeit in an unsettling fashion that would make individuals who weren't hardened to the terrifying and grotesque unsettled. "D..DEMETRIAAAAAAAA! I'M..I'M SCARED!" on the floor was the brother almost like that of a terrified dog whimpering. "De-me-tri-s where! Wa... aer yaou! I NeD yaO! I DONT WANT TO BE ALONE!" and the sister beckoning equally with fear in her voice cried out the same for her beloved brother. If a person ever watched that one movie about the boy named Akira and the horrific sight that occurred in said film to the same degree was happening to the duo on a smaller scale. Their cellular structures were like pustules and misshapen dough as their voices became more and more indiscernible becoming more like gurgles than words.
The two would make sounds akin to crying. Genuine terror emitted from their shambling abominable shape from both inside them and to those with the stomach to watch in the room. So desperately did the duo try to move towards the other's voice...until they finally would meet and the stranger occurrence occurred of the abomination fusing into one singular mass of skin-colored globulous cells. The cells expanded looming over Sadayo and Usagi like a pillar of flesh as what sounded like a scream shook the very foundation of the building....then collapsed in on itself like a ruined souffle. Slowly did it coalesce...and there, unconscious on the ground, was a Demetria with ruined eyeliner and a face almost as flush as a tomato from pain and emotional distress.
Mina jolted at the sudden movement of the ghost, the young girl almost leaping out of her skin and on to the ceiling. Shaking with her nerves and her eyes wide, she turned the face the painter. It took a few moments for her to catch her breath and calm down, but she did start to listen to what the man said. Or try too, anyway, as some of the instructions went right ito one ear and right of the other.
"So we just have to not get caught, right?' Didn't the curator say something about some hooligans earlier? The red head asked, eyeing the picture frames as well. "But sir, if they have to match up, is there any way you can tell us how to match them? Like a hint?"

Ichika put her hands on her hips as she pouted. How stupid! She would like to see the art just put on black frames and hung up willy nilly but it appeared that the artist was not going to allow that to happen. "Uh, ok. Brown frame for the miner, white frame for the white robe one, blue frame for the blonde girl one, and um, maybe we give the birthday one pink? Done." She shrugged at her shot in the dark. She didn't know color theory or, really, art at all.

Struggling against his restraints, the artist tried to twist his head towards both Mina and especially Ichika as she offered up what frames to put on the paintings, yet all was for nothing. The only thing that the painter could muster was a muffled hmpf! in protest. Though who could rightly expect an artist to truly be without words? Not so when they had their trusty paint brush in hand! Whether the group of genin would notice was not for him to say, but a careful eye would see the colors on the canvas appear for slightly longer than previously. Pink, green, white, and blue all flashed in sequence but for no longer than a few extra seconds. The previous few seconds of brilliance!

All previous excited squirming had stopped, replaced by a stillness that was previously unknown to Usagi. What was happening? Had Sadayo done something to the twins? She had to have; why else would they be crying? This wasn't a game anymore. People were getting hurt, and she had to do something about it. Determined to be by her boss' side, Usagi morphed into her rabbit form, slipping loose of the bindings as she did. With a quick hop, skip, and a jump, she was darting off into the cultural center at a breakneck pace, stopping only once she made it to the twins. Usagi watched for a brief moment, scoping out the scene. Her nose gave a few satisfied twitches as she slowly approached the unconscious duo. Hmm... what to do?
Mina paused and just watched Ichika work her...magic? She wasnโt sure what to call it. The paintings and colors seemed atrocious and like... โYou just did that at random didnโt you?โ The red head scolded as she placed her hands on her hips. โYou really donโt know much about art do you? O glorious leader.โ Mina scoffed and walked over and knelt down beside her. Or she almost did as soon as the painting man freaked out. The girl let out a yelp and jumped almost to where she started. The room seemed like it had filled with a miniature storm of intensity as the ghost was rugged away to... somewhere else. Somewhere Mina didnโt want to think about. She gulped and watched as he seemed to fight, seemed to speak out against some invisible force. But whatever it was he was saying, she couldnโt make it out. Then his arm flashed an colors briefly painted the canvas he was working on, showing up in sequence. Pink, green, white and blue...?
โHere.โ About a minute after everything calmed down, Mina walked over to Ichika and this time knelt down beside her and gently held the paintings and frames. โI think youโre on the right track with the blue one and the girl. Sometimes blue symbolizes the warding off of evil, as well as it really makes the girls hair stand out. I think green should be fit the miners though. Green can represent money, like the miner who go his treasure. But also envy, like the second guy. It also could mean greed, which is the case for both. I feel like white should go for the girl in mourning; it complaints her dress, and also white is used for death and mourning rituals in some cultures. Which would leave... pink for the birthday. Pink can be considered a shade of red, which can represent love.โ She turned to Ichika with a great big smile on her face. โAnd it looks like sheโs certainly surrounded by live, doesnโt she?โ As Mina spoke, she gently placed each painting in the frame she mentioned. While she spoke and framed, Mina made sure to crouch in a way that Yui could see her and read her lips, speaking slowly and clearly for her friends to understand.

The quake and quiver of the performing puppets rattled into a pause. Barely even a crack from Sadayo's watery whip before it sloshed into a plain ol' puddle on the floor. When has her illusions ever worked so well? No? Her illusion couldn't be the star backing this... fiasco. No. Sadayo was fully free from the grapple as Demetrius clutched his face. Her puppets clacking, buzzing about the room in a controlled frenzy. Many of Sadayo's artificial doubles dropping dull and disappearing from play, Dust clouds bursting behind each puppet. in the wake of a boggling horror that Sadayo couldn't find the will to touch. The puppeteer's hands were free and splayed in front of her person. Alarm. She stepped back as her previous captor and his sister were writhing in agony on the floor. Their cries echo. A warbled echo that had Sadayo dropping the borrowed exhibit puppets like useless baggage. Meager fashions of flimsy wood just didn't provide that sense of protection the woman wanted. Needed. Although, really, Sadayo couldn't find herself feeling threatened enough to spring a stronger defense but stuck with nothing. A risk, really, to take in what was happening. - She was stone stiff save for a few steps backwards. Wide eyed. Watching the immense mass once two matching twins forming and deforming slowly into one single twin. The sound of her unsteady breath remained with the fade of the twin's last garlge of noise. Huff and puff. Adrenaline trickled in. Sadayo could feel the urge to respond carry her feet to the wearied twin. "Move," she was stern but droned an order to the little rabbit to make way. The dots about Usagi were only just reconnecting. Sadayo knelt down and pressed her fingers together. She was gentle to roll Demetria's neck for proper access to a pulse. Did she still have a neck? There weren't any celluar globs distorting access to the little space under her jaw, yes? The rampant, conglomerate horror was over? Sadayo's shoulders still felt a little shaky from the adrenaline even as she was generally calm. Pulse? Seemed fine. The color of her face was anything but pale. Also fine, yeah? "I-" Her voice trickled out before any assessment was spoken further. No uhms"I want to say she's okay. Worn out." Sadayo pressed and squished around her finger on Demetria's cheek. Moving one plum tuckered Demetria was one feat the puppeteer keen on doing. Lifting Demetria with her own body? HA! No. Sadayo stood and stepped back a pace or two. A brightly colored scroll was taken from the bag at her waist and peeled open beside her. In no time, one brightly colored puppet was awkwardly scooping up Demetria onto its back. One less hazardous looking puppet for one not-so-hazardous situation. The ease of lifting Demetria from the floor was done so with a slow turn of the wrist. There was one problem taken care of. "Why don't you keep your friend company, little rabbit? I would much prefer the two of you to..." She pauses only for the right word. Suffer together in your punishment. Sadayo gave Usagi a crooked smile with the beginnings of their punishment building together in her head. "Let's get your friends looked at first.
One hand was occupied well with keeping Demetria balanced as Sadayo used her other to at least try to set things back into order. A pair of defiled puppets were dropped into the arms of the first guard who dared to come back. To check on the silence. Oh, good! There you are. Hand those over to the curator for cleaning!" The situation was handled. Mostly. A little pep was in her step as she left with the delinquents.
{Exit. Probably gonna' reopen at hospital.... or police station.}

With little effort the painting cli led into place on the frames almost as if they were magic. Near the bottom of each of the frames there was a writing that appeared along the bottom in a fancy eitched text that spoke to what must have been the names of each painting. Tickled pink under the birthday, and Green with Jealousy under the miners, however it was the scared woman and daughter in morning that neglected this fact. Popping right out of their frames and into the air, it seemed that their colors were chosen incorrectly. A lucky thing at least then, that the remaining options were so limited. With a little switcheroo from young Mina these titles too would appear near the bottom as White as a Sheet, and Feeling Blue~ A bit childish certainly but how many could understand the complicated thought process of a true artist? Now with the first part of their mission complete all that remained was sneaking past the guards in order to hang them up.

Flying through the art gallery JuJu searched high and low for young Yui. A bead of sweat dripping down his forehead as the weighty worry of losing one of his beloved academy wards burdened his poor heart. "Yui! Oh dear sweet Yui where are you! It is I, JuJu!"
First impressions were something that was considered important, and Sumika's initial impression was that this place was gaggingly pretentious. She had to pause though, in front of the resident fuuin bullshitery to stare at Sanae's name over the door. "So this is where they buried her at, pfft." The woman stifled the scoff outwardly, but Sanae would've hated being reduced to a name over a door. She rolled her eyes at her own sentimentality and wandered off to the puppetry space to practice a litany of techniques. [ Indigo Secret Technique: Tragedy and Comedy, Puppet Summoning, Puppet Sealing, Puppet Dodge, Grapple Hook, Puppetry: Instant Movement Technique, Thousand Hands Manipulation Military Art ]
Just as quickly as she'd started and Sumika was wrapping her training up. As she expected, the puppeteer's handbook had evolved little over the years she'd spent not giving a damn about actually training. She wasn't terribly surprised, as puppeteers tended to lose themselves in their mechanisms and designs over anything else. Then again, she was disappointed that a whole world's worth of them had not come to any better techniques while just her clan had expanded its jutsu half again as much. It was what it was though, and she wasn't particularly interested in ninjutsu based on it anyways.

Coda arrived at the nifty new arts building to refresh her fuuin, ready for a bit of a slog. She'd never been particularly gifted with fuuin, personally. It wasn't that she didn't have the skill for it, but that normal fuuin tended to clash with her perception of how the form was meant to be practiced. The Yozen techniques were little more than specialized sealing, but the method one interacted with them through was so different that she found it hard to not fall back on them in the learning phase.
As a result, Coda learned these quite a bit slower than she did most of her other undertakings. While she had flown through Yozen and Yoton, and likely would fly through her Taijutsu, this was already going significantly slower. She was forced to pick and choose from the scroll on what she could actually manage to wrap her head around, and failed on several jutsu that she just ultimately moved on from.
As she continued onwards, and the formulae became even more complex, Coda found herself drawing the number of viable techniques for her to learn into an even smaller quantity. This was rather annoying, to her at least. Most of her time studying was spent reading through something, only to regularly encounter a concept she had previously failed at and be forced to move on to another jutsu.
[ Summoning Technique, Reverse Summoning Technique, Scroll Communication Technique ]
By the time Coda had reached the A-rank scrolls she found herself completely fed up. The vast majority of these techniques applied theory on top of theory, and she was more than a little annoyed by reading the description of a jutsu, only to move on to the application portion and find a mess of nonsense, at least for her, laying out proper chakra application, order of operations, modification of formulae, and complex preparations. Just not her cup of tea, not right now at least, and perhaps never.
[ Expansion, Summoning: Rashลmon, Summoning: Iron Maiden ]
โ Persistent Modifiers โท Yozen: Fuuinjutsu techniques require [10] less chakra per body rank of the Yozen clansman (maximum of 60 at S+) without losing their potency.
With the shout of her name, the ever present Yui would scurry towards JuJu from afar, giving him a silent nod of the head while scribbling on her notepad. "Sorry for worrying you! I'm here!"

โณ Maladies Physician: Shinobi of this discipline are experts in iryojutsu and are especially well-versed in afflictions. Their medical techniques cure all symptoms of status effects applied to the user, rather than where most of the techniques cure them one at a time. In addition, medical techniques which inflict a status may inflict three different applications of the status, rather than just one. The user's crafted poisons also carry this property. The shinobi also obtains 5 custom techniques for medical ninjutsu as well as a Medical Ninjutsu Keystone technique. Refer to the Keystone Guideline for more information.
โณ Infinite Perception: Your specialty is more in sensory than in sealing or summoning. You are able to discover things such as demon chakra, or the type of technique that is about to be active (Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, etc.), even specifics such as Bloodline type and rank from any active sensory technique. This discipline allows the user to be able to sense their enemyโs ninjutsu attacks and their composition, which grants a -2 rank reduction to dodging with the dodge mechanic X-ranked skill so long as it was used within the range of the userโs sensory abilities. You can release yourself from genjutsu at one rank lower in kai chakra release but with no benefit in pain release. In addition, the user's sensory abilities are extended fifty feet per rank of the technique. As a master tracker, you can advance in the ninja hunter and special ops careers for half as many Oinin Butai and ANBU missions completed. Upon reaching Initiate in Oinin Butai, you gain the Eagle Eye perk innately so you can choose one other Oinin perk as well. When you use a sensory technique with jamming you can double the jamming effect, this ability applies to one technique per three posts.
โณ Med - Scholar Specialist: Able to cast medical and sealing through a simple snap. The user gains an additional 25 chakra per body rank.
โณ Personal Attributes: 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 jyuken strike instead of 1.25. For example, if one spends 80 chakra on a gentle fist technique, the attack robs the target of 120 instead of the 100 normal clansmen would reduce. 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. Physical Prowess: The Hyuuga gains a slight increase to reflex OR speed per body rank. This totals in a supreme increase for one or a moderate increase for both at S-Rank. In addition, the Hyuuga gains a single custom slot to be used exclusively for the gentle fist style and one taijutsu slot.
