Roku's palm began to glow black as the other's began asking for their various tattoos. The teen started with Seika as she was the first to approach him with a drawn out face and everything. With a touch of his palm on Seika's arm, a tattoo would appear, exactly the way it had been drawn on the piece of paper he was shown. As he placed the tattoo, he listened to what Seika's plan was and figured it would be a good plan. Mina piped up with her own plan as well that seemed to be a good idea but, after looking around a bit, Roku realized that plan was pretty much busted as it seemed that they already were sticking out like a sore thumb. Maybe if they left the village in some more common clothes it may have been easier to hide where they were from.
Roku waited to see who was next for a tattoo as he wasn't going to force it on anyone that didn't want it. The teen looked down at the ground as a bird hopped it's way over to him then stuck it's leg out. 'I could have just summoned a bird to keep look out so she wouldn't be stuck in another things body.' Roku thought to himself as he bent down to place a tattoo on the bird. It would be just a small tattoo of a black circle. Wouldn't be noticeable for anyone looking at the bird unless they were really close to it. After finishing the tattoo on the bird it was Mina's turn. The girl hadn't really mentioned what she wanted so, he placed a rose on the back of her hand cause girl's liked roses right? At least his mother liked roses. Worst case if she didn't like it he could change it to whatever she wanted. That's around the time that Roku noticed that he no longer felt the chakra presence of one of the people that were with him before.
One of the Kotori's had suddenly disappeared. After some searching, Roku found the girl's chakra signature in the middle of the crowd... right next to the priest. 'What is she doing?' She thought to himself as any semblance of a plan was suddenly gone. Before Roku had the chance to even say anything, Mina ran off into the village. 'Great.' Right after she ran off by herself, Roku figured it would be a good time to activate his technique, granted he hadn't gotten a tattoo on Kotori yet but, he could do that in a bit. Roku preformed a series of handseals with his right hand before suddenly everyone's minds would be linked. One thing Roku had failed to mention was that they would be able to feel each other's emotional states as well. Kotori seemed fine, Inohachi was nervous, Seika was Shy, and Mina was scared. 'Mina are you okay?' Roku would speak in her mind, whether or not she replied would determine his next set of actions.

Roku would receive a genuine smile of appreciated from Seika, her head tilting a little as she did so before taking in the new tattoo with a secondary gaze of appreciation and happiness before attempting to return to her game face. It was quite clear how pleased she actually was, now watching the little bird Inohachi go to collect its little dot tattoo, watching Inobirdy and her flight training progress was much amusement as this entire routine was rather cute, that is until the little crash that made Seika flinch a little with worry. Alright then back to the mission, Kotori was standing with them yes, however didnβt she make a clone? Wait then if only one Kotori was here then the other Kotori was.... with the crowd and priest in the middle of the village... Mina had apparently noticed this before Seika and was in pursuit of her friend. Clicking her tongue with explicit annoyance at this, her expression showing a tad bit more concern than irritation that the sound might imply. βWell then, I suppose the plan is now flipped into an attempt to win their hearts immediately....I will try and gain information whilst doing so, Iβll leave my clone with you to look after Inohachi.β She said to Roku in a defeated tone as she signalled to her clone to hand her the backpack it carried, turning to follow the others at a brisk pace, leaving her clone to hang around with Roku, the remaining Kotori clone and the limp Ionhachi.
Striding after Mina went from brisk to much faster as something unknown to Seika seemed to intensely afflict Mina with fear, despite the fact that Roku was mentally checking in with Mina about her condition with a question. This check-in did not stop Seika from locating and rushing over to the disturbed genins side and tapping her on the shoulder as she arrived at her side before grabbing Mina to turn her towards herself to force her attention in her own direction βLook at me, look at my eyes, youβre ok! Now inhale slowly, count to three and exhale! Now what wrong?!β She spoke firmly yet with a soft voice, her brow furrowed in concern as she contemplated testing to see if she was caught in some illusion. Why her comrade reacting like this Seika did not know and that was why she looked concerned to the point of wearing a bit of a frown, was this connected to the town?! Someone attacking peopleβs emotions with illusions or some other effect that could afflict people in a similar manner would be a serious and infuriating issue, easily an explanation to why this town would be so restless and just the idea of such made Seika a little angry!

Quote:
Everything happened so fast while she was learning how to fly. Right now, she can only hop from one branch to the other. More like gliding. This was so weird. She was not used to it. After almost falling off the branch again, her wings ruffled for a bit as she glanced back and saw Roku was holding her body. Now, if she was human, her cheeks would be red. Thankfully, she was just a bird. She heard the nickname Bee as Inohachi froze and glanced down at Mina. How did she know about that nickname? This... brought back memories. She was suddenly sad. She misses her family.
Without a blink, Kotori disappeared. Well one of them. Then Mina chased after her. Then Seika. After she left a clone to defend her which, to Inohachi, was a bit of an insult. Inohachi can't help as she stood there, on the branch, flabbergasted as her beak was open and there was a surprised look on her face despite being a bird. She glanced towards Roku as she wanted to sigh but birds don't sigh. Shuddering a bit, she spread her wings as she glanced up at the sky and took flight. Slightly sloppy and struggling a bit, she was able to finally glide around the town. This.. was a sad sight. She should come back here after the mission to see if there was a way to help them. Finding the second Kotori, she landed on a branch nearby as she was also keeping her ears out for anything she might hear from them. 'I found the other Kotori. I'll k-keep an eye...' She informed the group. She felt bad for Roku, having to do body duty but since everyone ran off, not much of a choice for him. 'Roku. Thank you.. I-I'm sorry.' Course the entire group would be heard it as she tries to apologize for the group while listening and watching Kotori as well the Priest and the people.

The sudden burst of wind that erupted near the priest drew a collective shocked gasp from the crowd. Many grew unsure or anxious when they saw Kotori's headband glitter plainly on her head, while others shouted in a panic. "A ninja from the leaf! Don't let her kill the priest!" Grunts of approval from a few of the burlier men arose as they started to move up onto the stage before being silenced preemptively by the speaker himself, and by a single wave of his hand no less.
Even looking over Kotori, the man showed not a sign of hesitation, unlike the others. In fact, his face was nothing but smiles, even a chuckle here and there at the plucky ninja girl's antics. When next the priest spoke it as with a level head and cool words. "Be calm my people. There is no need for violence yet. After all, if there is no room in our hearts for peaceful speech, how can we expect there to be room in theirs?" The mummers of discontent continued, but none dared cross a direct mandate from the priest himself. "Liam, if you would, please add the shinobi's offerings to the plate to distribute to the hungry."
The creak of the floorboards ricketed under the weight of a giant of a man who stepped up from the priest's bodyguards, presumably the aforementioned Liam. The giant grunted as he passed Kotori but was otherwise as respectful as the priest had been, moving through the crowd in order to retrieve the food that had been thrown to the floor. Though even when it was offered properly, not a soul dared eat of it. Whether this was because it was gross or because Kotori wasn't one of their own remained to be seen. "We don't waste food here, we can't afford to." The priest spoke offhandedly, answering before it could be asked. "But that's not why you're here I'm sure." With special enthesis placed on this one particular sentence, the verbal jousting had begun! "Now what was it you asked? What's going on here? Why I am simply offering peaceful recourse to my fellow man! What interest is that to the leaf hm?" As he spoke, the man placed both scarred arms behind his back, purposefully leaving himself in a vulnerable stance.

__ Kotori had looked up at the priest while the people of Veralas chanted in his defense, 'Kill?' The thought dispersed like dew on a hot summer morning. She glanced about at all the sheep in this shepherd's flock while he soothed their defensive bleating and eased their tensions. Kotori looked about when someone was called to collect her gift for the masses. Then she saw him. Liam. "Oh no!" Her body began to sweat and rattle as the fear suddenly grasped her. "B-" She shrank back to appear even smaller than the little already was. Her eyes never lost focus from the source of her terror. She kept stuttering under her breath as she stepped back away from the approaching hairy hulk. "B-bea-" As Liam approached, Kotori quickly slipped away to hide behind the priest from him, burying her face into the back of his garments and clenching her hands together like she herself were praying. She reigned her stuttered babbling back into her thoughts, 'AAAAAAA! BEARD! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!' Kotori managed to somewhat suppress her hyperventilation to a softer but still rather rapidly paced series of breaths. Since she failed to stick around for a tattoo from Roku, they'd still lack a telepathic link so he could stay focused on Mina's own traumatic episode.
Kotori peered around the priest, keeping a close eye on the object of her fear until he slipped away into the crowd to distribute food to the masses. She sighed heavily then looked up to the priest when he turned to face her again. Kotori looked over her shoulder to see where Liam was once again then went back to the nameless mister. "Re-what?" Her head tilted to the right shoulder a little as she tried to remember what the word meant, or if she ever knew it. Everything seemed to catch back up with her as she left the matter of phobias aside again. Kotori raised her left hand and hopped in place while exclaiming, "Oh oh! Peace! That one! Kotori knows that one! Everyone seems so sad here, so Kotori wants to help with the peaceful re-whazzit, please~!" She stopped hopping in place to just wave her hand about with a big stupid grin. Kotori didn't mind his defenseless posture or the scars on his arms. Maybe the others would care about one of those details, but she'd met lots of people like this priest among the Soren tribe's people a few years ago. He just spoke different, mostly.
Meanwhile, back at the edge of Veralas:
Kotori watched as everyone disbursed into the shanty town to chase after the shadow clone she sent to scout ahead. She scratched her scalp as the simple smile on her face became somewhat wrought with deeper confusion. "Kotori really should read the mission scroll..." She started walking into Veralas with that very document becoming gradually more unraveled as she browsed its contents on the go. Maybe late, but she had to start somewhere. Hopefully everyone was going to be okay.

tabβMa..?β was all that Mina could breath out. She watched the woman fade in and out through the crowd like she was the only person in the world at the moment. The long, wavy pink-red hair stood out as the only color the redhead could see and she watched it flow like he was hypnotized. No, that wasnβt her Ma, Zakaki had black hair. Then who was it? And why did Mina think βmotherβ reflexively? Her real mom, and her dad, were both dead. But this person seemed so familiar, more than just someone who looked like someone. Not that Mina would know. How would she, when she had no memories of her birth parents in the first place? All she could remember was living with Zakaki. A memory even pulled up from Minaβs mind of the two of them playing basketball together when she was seven!
Then it changed. Suddenly and filled with static, like her mind was a television and someone had changed the channel. Blood. Lots of blood and lots of bodies, barely visible in the dark room she was in. They were very clearly corpses, with only one body in the room not among them. A woman, with red-pink hair, glowering down at Mina with harsh disappointment. Her mouth was moving, but there wasnβt any sound in this memory. Mina remembered scuttling back from ehr, just before one of the bodies twitched. Then more. Soon all of the corpses started to move, clawing their way along the ground towards the girl. The woman still spoke, but nothing came out. The corpses, with their dried fingers gripped at Minaβs legs and reared their heads back to bite her, showing her their eyeless heads and jagged toothed mouths. The sound returned just then.
Mina screamed.
She hadnβt meant to scream out loud as she stood in New Verales. But she also hadnβt meant to grip her head as pain started to wrack its way through it. Seika was talking to her and her words managed to cut through Minaβs panic. The ninjaβs breath came in short and harsh as she wildly looked around. Looked for that woman. βWhere is she?!β Mina blurted out as her gaze shot from face to face of the citizens around her. But there wasnβt even a trace of her terror. The redhead did her best to follow the medicβs instructions while her own mind raced at a million miles per hour. She followed the finger and then made eye contact with Seika. Mina took a minute to take in a deep, deep breath and held it with her eyes closed. At the same time she took note of what her senses were telling her. The smell of the rather run down village. The sound of the hustle and bustle of people going about their lives. The gentle touch of her comrade placing her hands on Mina to reassure her.
The girlβs heart rate and mind slowed down. She was still visibly trembling but the girl seemed fine. βDid you find Kotori?β She asked. Mina gripped Seikaβs hand and the two continued through New Verales. The red head wanted to play off her attack as a minor stress about Kotori. She was lying, everyone with a link to her knew she was lying, and she also knew that they knew. Mina wiped cold sweat from her brow as the two girls walked.
It didnβt take long to find the bright yellow ball of sunshine that was Kotori. The town was small, and a minute or so of (rather quickly) walking brought Mina and Seika to the town square. And, of course, there stood the Hyuuga in the center of it all. Seeing her friend again manage to finish calming Mina down in a matter of instances, bringing a small smile to her face. Yet her heart rate sped up once again; noticeably but not dangerously. She was just glad to see she was okay. Well, relatively okay. Mina could see the burly man handing out something, and then Kotori cowering behind the man on the podium. The red head knew what was getting at her friend: the beard.
βThank you,β Mina murmured to Seika before giving her hand a squeeze and walking forward on her own. She came up behind Kotori and just gently pushed her hand against the middle of her friendβs back, pressing her fingers just enough to let Kotori know that she was there. She didnβt say anything, not at first anyway, so she could listen to the two talk. While they did, Mina looked the man up and down. Also large, standing in a vulnerable way, and scars on his arms. Interesting, and something to take note of. But not pressing at the moment. When either of them had finished speaking, Mina finally realized something: sheβd retained absolutely none of what either of them had said.
Play it cool, play it cool. These guys'll only get violent if you say the wrong thing. No pressure.βWe came to help.β Mina said simply as she looked over at the crowd but only spoke to the priest. Mina hadnβt missed the part about no violence βyet.β She also didnβt miss that none of the people in the crowd had eaten the snacks Kotori gave out. βI apologize for Kotori; she means well but she doesnβt know how to cool her jets.β Mina let out a small laugh, to try and ease tensions, but not even she was feeling it. Maybe because she was still coming down from her experience. βMy nameβs Mina, by the way.β The girl slowly offered her other hand to the priest, showing that she wasnβt armed. βAnd you, Mister...?β

Roku sighed a bit as he looked around the area outside of the small village. All he had with him was a clone, inohachi's body, and another clone or the real Kotori. Roku couldn't tell the difference between shadow clones and the original but, who could? It was an extremely hard thing to be able to figure out. However, as he stood there, he watched as the secondary Kotori started heading into the village, reading a mission scroll. Before she could get too far, Roku would approach her and attempt to put a tattoo on her. "Wait before you go in you got to get linked in with us so, we can have all the information available as possible." Roku would then place a tattoo on Kotori if she allowed him to. Regardless of if she did or not, Roku would return to his position under a tree to watch over Inohachi's body that he was now carrying around. The man seemed content to watch over the individuals via his sensing techniques as well as whatever they said over the telepathic link they now shared. Worst case he could be in the village in no time at all really to help. However, he really didn't like the prying eyes that would likely occasionally look over at him. So, without any sort of flashy handseals, he coated his body in a thin layer of chakra that would cause people to look away from him if they looked directly at him. That way if he did need to create a clone or anything else, he could do so without the villagers seeing it. The teen had already analyzed the groups reaction to Kotori going in and it didn't seem like they enjoyed their ninja magic. 'Careful of any techniques. They don't seem to like ninjutsu so, safe to assume they don't like anything else like that.' Roku would report over the telepathic link. For the moment he would just remain on standby as he didn't have much else to do.

Throughout this Seikas expression of concern was hard to mask with a pleasant and gentle expression as she hadnβt been ready for this in the least and she couldnβt tell what the issue was. Mina had worn a mask of frozen terror and something was seen by her that Seika could not, she didnβt know what she was looking for, nothing stood out to her as notably obvious inducing, the scream and clutching at her head had made it even harder for Seika to even attempt to guess the route cause of this as she wanted to panic herself but had stuck through it until Mina blurted something out then had finally realized Seika was there and started to pay attention, sort of.. the girls eyes had done a thorough search for something. Where is who...? She thought to herself and not the group whilst she had talked Mina through a level of her panic, but definitely not all of it. Mina shook like a cold puppy and asked if she knew where Kotori, a clear lie that Seika didnβt even need the mental link to know, as she let Mina have her hand and squeezed it reassuringly, using her other hand to pat it once and smile at Mina reassuringly, her eyes showing understanding toward her comrade. βOf coarse we have! She ran to the gathering of townspeople, letβs go to her.β She said to allow The redhead her wish of the subject be avoided, Seika allowing Mina to keep a hold of her hand as long as she needed and made sure to gently squeeze to show that she was there. She maybe try and talk to the redhead about this later.. if she let her.... if not sheβd prolly advise her mention it to someone she was close to.. but that would wait till privacy was afforded the two of them in case it was sensitive, which the clear immediate avoidance meant it probably was.
The information possibilities gained from the Roku-Inohachi information network was amazingly invaluable, Seika didnβt have much time to marvel on this because her attention was focused on something of greater importance than intrigue. Now she and Mina were walking to the town centre, Seika had a moment to consider its usefulness, compared to her one way messaging technique this was some next level stuff, possession and telepathic/empathic links were some serious stuff she was beginning to realize. Approaching the town gathering a color stuck out unfittingly in the form of Kotoris yellow... and she was on the podium... using the priest as a shield? Seika almost gawked at this, particularly stunned with complete and utter bafflement at the Ogress and her behaviour. Seika snapped out of it when Mina spoke, turning her head toward her quickly and again giving another gentle look βYou are welcome, Iβm here anytime.β She murmured to Mina, squeezing back before Mina let go, releasing her as well so she could to go to her friend.
Kotoris current fear combine with Minas now has Seika extremely suspicious of this village, this priest with scarred arms made her a slight bit more, the food distribution would have made her any more suspicious if not for the Ripped van muscleman, who if under the same dietary restrictions as the whole town would probably not be so swole. So Seika had to opinions on the fellow which was that either he was there under the villagers wish, having been hired despite the fact the money spent to hire a guy like that could bring much food to many tables.. if he was there for what Seikas mind had already suspected, then he was working directly for the priest, enjoying food meant for the people and that there was a power hold on this town in the guise of helping them, deflecting the focus of blame toward the Konoha.... these were however mere suspicions she was currently contemplating. There were other people who still had good amount of muscle mass and so Seika would have to try and find any proof before acting on any suspicions... admittedly her current paranoia was induced from erratic behaviour that she didnβt know the basis for in her teammates and could only assume that it was the towns fault somehow.
Following Mina after the other genin had gotten ten or so steps ahead, Seikas expression a lot more passive now that she was thinking her thoughts of suspicion. She however veered away from the other the redhead took which was toward the priest and instead walked toward the crowd, trying to visually register how healthy these people looked and specifically looking for wounded, sick or malnourished looking, specifically children and the old. Her priority here was getting to look over the people in the crowd for those in need, she did in fact keep an eye(ear) open for potential pattern in if the spectators added comments/agreed with whatever the priest might say to help enforce the mans words and if the same people kept doing so, although splitting her attentions might make doing so a little more difficult as getting the general condition of the people took precedence.

The emotions were getting worst and Inohachi was doing everything she could to stay calm. Her heart was racing. Wait, was it her heart, or was it because she was in the bird's body. She tried to do breathing exercises but it didn't work well because of the difference in the lungs. Just like that, it went from panic to ... another kind of panic but then she started to calm down. With relief, she continued to keep an eye out as well trying to look... 'normal' as much as possible. She would move her head and ... ruffle her feathers a bit with her beak? She had seen other birds do the same so she was trying to keep it up. The villagers did not like them and not to mention when Kotori did a ...rash appearance, they were not keen at all. Looking around, she sees trash. Rags. She waited for a bit of pause with the others when she saw an opening, 'Let's try helping out by picking up trash.. maybe it would help them feel better. I could go back into my body, somewhere where they won't see and could help them with the sewing of their clothes? We should report to Lahlil that they need resources, not medical kind. Actual resources.' Inohachi corrected herself. 'Such as clothes. Home. Anything better than this. No wonder they are not happy...

The priest's mouth was left hanging agape as he was taken for quite the surprise when this ninja, one whom he had assumed would have been the best of Konoha's verbal jousters, defaulted into acting like a young child. And all over the sight of... a beard?
The priest's mouth turned upwards, still holding his smile even while he wasn't sure what to make of the situation. From the crowd, a boastful jeer from one brave soul seeking to earn teh respect of their peers. "Ha! Looksy at em fancy sods now! Hiddin cuz em knows wez stronger in numbers! They gotta um respect us now!"
The shouts and applause were contagious, so much so that the priest speaker was forced to raise his hands again just to get a word out above the noise. What he couldn't stop, however, was what the sounds had been gathering, attention. At the speed of a gentle trickle, more and more townspeople were drawn in to observe this: the staging battle between the Konoha shinobi vs the collective of those who lived outside the gates. Even to one not so skilled in matters of negation would surely begin to understand now that they did were not just addressing the people of New Verals anymore. Word would be carried by any survivor, and with each mouth that it passed the truth would be grossly twisted.
"My sons and daughters, please! Quiet down now. We can discuss the bravery of those in the capital at another time, now is meant for the discourse between us, our chance to be heard." With a gentle hand, the priest removed Kotori from his robes. His attention shifting fully away from the hyuuga, and solely on Mina as she approached him. His gaze waveringly bore itself into the black sof her eyes as he listened to her attempt at peacemaking. He smiled. "Grady. You may call my Grady. So, tell me Mina! What can this, humble speaker for those without a voice, do for you? What in our tiny home has managed to draw the eye of the enforcer of fire, hm?"
Current Public Opinion:
25 // 100
(( The group has grown from the actions you caused! Word will now be spread to every town outside the gates and not just New Veralas! ))
(( Minor approval gain: Kotori was cute and the people responded to not thinking that they were small ))

__ The Kotori back with Roku, the real Kotori, was stopped and reminded to get one of those special tattoos that he was offering the others before. Neverminding that her mother would probably lose her mind just hearing about it, or that Roku could remove it to be as if it were never there, Kotori gladly accepted the offer. She got a little red perched bird on the back of her right hand. Kotori thoughtlessly followed Roku back over to his clone and Inohachi's soul-vacant body that he was guarding. She was too busy admiring her new tattoo to remember where she was going. "It's so cooool..." Once she was done admiring Roku's art she just sat with them and went back to reading the mission scroll.
Meanwhile, Clonetori timidly remained hidden behind Priest Grady's back until Liam departed into the crowd. Grady gently shooed her away when Mina approached with Seika in tow. Kotori was really glad to see Mina again, elated even, but her growing smile diminished from behind the scarred older man who was managing to keep the masses amicable. 'What did Kotori do wrong this time?' She was genuinely confused as she thought about her actions. Kotori could understand them being mad about her going ahead, but she didn't do anything but help since she got this far. A small pout lingered across her lips and her gaze moved out to the crowd when a one of the many loudly (and grossly) mistook her fear for their advantage in a fight. She bit her lip as her eyes honed in on that specific individual, fighting the urge to accept the challenge since very very few of them looked like they could actually even fight properly. Her attention snapped to her shared thoughts with Inohachi having the mental stage to suggest some community service work. 'That's a great idea! Kotori can lift and move the heavy stuff with shadow clones!' Kotori poked Grady on the shoulder to try and get his attention again, "Excuse me mister? Are you sure they don't have a voice? Kotori just heard a lot of them talking and shouting..." She tugged on his sleeve to get him to look again. She then enthusiastically offered, "Kotori can help them with stuff they're took weak to do!" Kotori let go of Grady's sleeve to beat her chest once with her right hand like a sort of salute, and added, "Kotori is super strong and stuff, believe it!" She confidently chuckled a heh heh from behind her massive grin. Of course, the offer for more food was still available. 'Hopefully papa will give me more to- oh right!' Then another option came to mind as she realized she'd have to replace her snack stash eventually. "Oh! Kotori can also ask her papa to help these people too! Supplies, food, and stuff so everyone can be happier! That'd help, right mister Grady?" Kotori tilted her head curiously and forwardly seeking a compromise. Her father being the first heir to the Fire Nation's Hyuuga clan left her more resources than she really knew. All that ever mattered to her was how much her grandparents spoiled her and her sister since they didn't have many cousins. She didn't understand complicated things like politics, but people suffering because they needed more stuff was easy enough for her to process. She just wanted to see if getting that stuff was enough to make things better for them all. The part of Inohachi's suggestion to just go back and ask the Hokage was also quite sensible.

tabEnforcer of Fireβ¦? Mina had to take a second to let that one settle in her head for a second. On one hand, the more excitable Minashiba thought it sounded like a badass nickname. So much so that she contemplated putting it in her back pocket for later use. But more presently, and weighing more heavily on her mind, the name didnβt sit well with her. Given the circumstances, the language that Grady chose passively made her and her squad (let alone the entirety of Konoha) into the bad guys right from the start. That meant she had to bite back her immediate response to try and argue with that sentiment, else sheβd seem too defensive. And with so many people slowly gathering, Mina was starting to feel like whatever happened next would be like tiptoeing around a field of eggshells. A field of angry, mob mentality eggshells. Something about how every eye was focused on the moves that her and her teammates made the ninja feel a particular way. She wasnβt scared or anything, and she wasnβt mad, per se. A small sense ofβ¦ something started to tap at the back of Minaβs mind. Was she nervous? Was it nerves? Yes, that was it.
These people were already getting on her nerves!
Mina took a second to calm down her minor aggravation by remembering something mom once said to her. A riot is just the voice of a people wronged for too long. No magic, got it. Mina shot back to the group telepathy communication at Rokuβs suggestion.
βItβs nice to meet you, Mister Grady.β Mina replied with her own signature smile. The ninja bowed at the waist, giving the priest the same formal respect sheβd show any higher ranking member of Konoha. Good call, Inohachi! Iβll see what they need!βSir, we from the Leaf Village were sent to see how we could help your town of New Verales.β When Mina rose from her bow she was ramrod straight. If anything she was nervous, maybe visibly so. It was her first mission, technically, and there was a lot on the line. She didnβt want to mess up. βSo weβre here to listen to any grievances you have and offer what services we can. Whether thatβs be clothes, or food, or shelter. We have a medic, a tailor, and extra bodies to help out wherever. Sir.β Mina looked down as Kotori spoke and she felt her lips curl into a small, tender smile. The grin and salute that her friend performed put her at ease, as if the little chuckle was just what the redhead needed to relax her tense body. And for a moment that was what her world became and her heart raced again, just for a second. The ninja moved her hand to the Hyuugaβs shoulder and squeezed a little. βKotoriβs probably the most driven person I know!β Mina added proudly. βSet her out on a task and sheβll get it done right ten times-no, a hundred times- over!β She said. "Right, Kotori? One hundred, at least" She ended by giving her friend a wide grin that made her eyes sparkle.
The first tier of mental stress is mildly distracting for technique durations and wasteful on resources. E and D Rank genjutsu create this tier of mental stress.
β’ Reduces techniques with post durations by a maximum of [2] posts until cured or the stress-inducing genjutsu is dispelled. β’ Increases the resource cost of techniques by a maximum of [10] until cured or the stress-inducing genjutsu is dispelled. For example, a [10] chakra increase for a spiritual technique or a [10] stamina increase for a simple technique or a [5] chakra and [5] stamina increase for a complex technique.

Roku placed the tattoo on Kotori as instructed. "One moment everyone, gonna get Kotori in the loop." The man would say in the telepathy before reactivating the technique to include Kotori this time around since she didn't have a tattoo previously. After he was done reactivating the technique he would pull out a cigarette and casually begin to smoke as he watched the crowds of people start to go into the village. "Looks like we have people from all over joining the crowd. Careful about what you do and say as this no longer will just be New Verales that we're dealing with. Try not to make any promises we can't keep. Inohachi, please keep an eye out above for any trouble makers in the crowd. It was a main cause of concern in the mission scroll. If they would indeed like someone to help with tailoring new clothes we can bring you back and I'll keep an eye on the village with my sensory range. If we need to, I'll send a messenger raven to the Hokage for additional resources for this village." Roku would say in telepathy once again as he leaned against the tree. So far the mission was much more quieter than the man had expected but, they needed to stay on their toes just in case someone really was inciting the riots here.
Mission Title [ Rank ] Mission Info EXP: Ryo: Passive EXP: 5
βοΏ€ Passives
β Flame-Resistance Technique [ Bounetsu no Jutsu ] β Fireproof Technique [ Taika no Jutsu ] β Electrical Resistance Training [ Teikou no Kuntou ] β Fire based techniques are reduced by 5 chakra per rank with a minimum of 5 chakra to be paid for a technique. For each rank of a technique, it's flames burn actively for one post or one additional post if a limit is given. β Fuuinjutsu techniques require [10] less chakra per body rank of the Yozen clansman (maximum of 60 at S+) without losing their potency. β Able to do seals with one hand. β Bloodline techniques are considered overwhelming.
β Kagura Mind's Eye [ Kagura Shingan ] | Being used a B rank (continuous passive effect) User must remain still for one full post before technique takes effect. Starting at two [2] kilometers at E-rank, range is increased by two [2] kilometers per rank. Information gained from technique is fairly vague and limited to location and chakra capacity unless the user has the Infinite Perception discipline, in which more detailed information such as elemental affinities or bloodline can be determined. Technique remains active until the user moves. Those of the Infinite Perception discipline can use this technique even while moving. β Two Bodies, One Mind [ Futatsu no Karada, Hitotsu no Kokoro ] | Rank C (1/6 posts) For six posts, any target that has had a tattoo created by the user on their person in the past that is within the subforum shares a telepathic link as well as a spiritual bond, allowing them to sense the others resources, emotional states, ect. While within the same topic as one another, these two may exchange resources between one another, giving up to their own body rank equivalent per post. βShadowing Stealth Technique [ Bikou Ninjutsu ] | Rank E The user coats their body in chakra while pursuing someone covertly. The chakra surrounding their body causes anyone who looks directly at them to find their eyes wandering elsewhere. Due to its low cost in chakra, this seldom arouses suspicion to those feeling the prying eyes of the user. This technique must be repaid every three posts. (2/3) β

β°β°β° |SHINOBI β’ INFO| β°β°β° β’ Haruno, Seika | C | Genin | Medical ninja | Bukijutsu Appearance/clothes :
. She is wearing standard medical ninja garb with long sleeves hiding her hands, she has a secondary robe over top of it of similar design and color, itβs sleeves also oversized, the combination of both making it hard to notice the weapons weighing on her sleeves. Wearing a backpack gloves and a Katana Ninjato on her waist. (Basically equipment listed in profile.)
|
Seika decided to get out of the crowd due to its increasing growth, not noticing any suspicious off the hop and the general condition of this place making her feel guilty for the people of new veralas. As a shinobi of the Konoha, if the living conditions of the place were truly the fault of the Konoha she could understand why the people would be so wound up, as this place was clearly in a state of squalor. βHey Mina, I agree with Roku on the fact to be careful what you say and how you say it, Grady seems good and used to talking and I dunno if heβs shady or not so just be on your toes... Inohachi Is right, we need to find out what the need help with, for in the immediate as well as things that need to be resolved fast but is out of our hands that can be relayed back home.... I got some emergency supplies and rations I can give them,, I have some stuff in my bag but most of it is in a scroll and I donβt wanna startle anyone as we arenβt likely to be forced into a situation where we would need them, so Iβd like to donate them! If you can although Iβll wait until more we have learned more and they are a little less on edge.β She thought through the link, thankful for how useful it was, the knowledge that the people didnβt like ninjutsu had allowed her to not do something on reflex, making her thankful for Inohachi in bird mode and her eyes and observations.
Seika then made her way to the side of the stage/podium where one might ascend from and ascended a couple of steps. She did not go up the full flight and instead chose to stop half way up so as to observe the crowd of people, popping of her glasses to get a keener eye on the civilians, still vigilant for if anyone seemed particularly suspicious. A little part of her said that she might be over doing it and that she was being suspicious of innocent peopleβs, however the incident with Mina had left her wary and more on edge and she hadnβt go past the suspicions spawned from that as well as it was better to be safe than sorry and to keep up her guard. Placing her glasses on the neckline of her robes and brushing some stray hairs out of her face she would then habitually draw and unfold one of her fans with her right hand, proceeding to hold it in front of her mouth.

Quote:
Inohachi listened through telepathy as she didn't have a problem with it. Being a Yamanaka, she was used to organizing and sorting it out. If only she was like that in real life. Her little sparrow head glanced up towards the sky as she let out a long mental sigh, separated from the group so they wouldn't hear it. However, they would feel a bit of nervousness underneath all the confidence and suspicious feelings that her teammates were giving out of. 'Okay.' was all she responded to Roku's suggestion of flying high and keeping an eye out. That thought made her nervous. What if she gets chased by a hawk!? What if she gets shot at because they are hungry!?
She needed to stop that. With a shudder of her body, she spread her wings and used the wind to help her glide off the roof and beat her wings when she needed to as she soars a bit higher, dodging the trees as she looks out for any signs of trouble or people that were in need. The little sparrow was soaring away from the group. She was enjoying the feeling of flying, to feel so light and just a part of the wind.
