Ten nodded in agreement to Mina. It wasn't like they could just turn around at this point. They had made the trip all the way here, and now they knew there was a civil war breaking out around them. Whether they'd be of any actual use in this situation or not, abandoning the temple and the people of Zaishin wasn't much of an option. This fire sage seemed fairly confident that restoring whatever flame they intended to resurrect would give them the edge they needed to win, but something about it seemed off. Perhaps it was the way she chose her words, or her overly confident claims regarding Konoha. Ten shook those thoughts away. He wasn't in any position to cast judgement on this stranger; and, even if he was, it would be a biased perspective. It'd be best for him to leave those kinds of details to their leader.
As he walked towards the temples entrance as she instructed, Ten cast one last narrowed gaze over his shoulder. 'Her mom?' After he was outside, he continued walking forward until he was a couple of meters away from the opening. "Now we just keep watch, huh? That's easy enough. What do you guys think about all of this?" Ten was already skeptical of that old hag, but if Fumiko and Kuchi had different opinions on it, he would just chalk that up to his own personality flaws.

Fumiko went and watched as Mina would step up to the plate for her family's sake while the older woman and co would be busy talking about saving the temple or something, Fumiko kind of zoned out at that point, but popped right back in when their squad leader had been ordered to step out and focus on helping relight the temple's fire. The red haired oni walked to the fire and tossed a couple of artifacts inside while Mina continued to focus her efforts on maintaining the flame. But after that, Mina would send the squad away from her to go and keep an eye around the area of the temple to make sure nobody would try anything funny. Fumi shot the other girl a look, as if to show concern, but would eventually walk over towards another side of the temple to keep watch. She huffed and walk alongside the group. "Stupid Mina just sending us off like that." she murmured underneath her breath. Ten and Kuchi were busy outside with her just as a woman of flame would rise from the ashes and begin talking about Mina's family while the three had just petered off by that point. The smaller Akimichi shifted her weight onto her right leg in thought. "Sounds like a buncha lies, to be honest. I'm not to keen on this anyway. I thought Zaishin was ruled by 5 clans instead of one, but here some spooky fire girl is just telling us that she can just end this war and have their stupid fire flan rule." She looked down to Kuchi and back to Ten before then spinning around to face them. "Do you guys think Mina's in danger or something? They could just use her as something to feed the fire, and then boom! No more Mina. Just her stupid little flame family member and old hag."

The other members of his group seemed to be at least a little bit worried about the situation happening in the temple. Though they had listened to their orders as they were told, Kuchi himself had a bit of a bad feel about it. Fala did too, the small green bird looking particularly unhappy with the situation they found themselves in right this moment. The green haired young boy looked at Fumiko who rather openly voiced her opinion on the matter. Pointing out something that Kuchi also was a bit worried about. However Kuchi had a different feeling about it. "I uh, I don't know if she's lying....but that's why I feel bad about it." He exclaimed, looking at Fala and patting her head a little. Stroking the small bird's beak in order to calm her down a little bit. "I mean...Miss Mina can handle herself. I just don't think that this fire lady is a good person. Or maybe like...they think they're being a good person but really they're doing it in a really bad way? Should we say something to Miss Mina?" The young boy asked his two companions.
"Smart girl," Aiyamina spoke as Mina seemed to resolve herself to help with the cause that Aiyamina spoke of. "As I said, you will be her battery." The woman said, motioning towards the motionless figure that exuded an aura of flames. "She is powerful, but needs a lot of energy to keep going in her current state. You will be providing that power for her." The figure Aiyamina was speaking of during the entire time seemed to not speak in the slightest. Standing there motionless, almost as if she wasn't complete for some reason. "Strong enough to deal with any of these fools who stand in the way of justice and order. Allow me to demonstrate her power from what she's already taken from you." Aiyamina spoke, motioning her hands upwards causing the flaming figure of a woman to rise along with Aiyamina and Mina herself. A hole being punctured through the roof of the temple as they would float above the temple. The three Mina had order to keep watch outside of the temple would be able to see the three of them from where they were now.
"Now, I evoke the power of our ancestor spirit of flames. She who has given us this power to use and to rule with." With those words, the flaming figure's hand would raise. Facing a portion of Zaishin nearby, a place that seemed to have a clash of Nobles, Rebels, and Yokai alike. Clearly not the main force of any of these armies. The flaming figure glowed, Mina would feel the familiar draining of her chakra from moments before. Then flames roared forwards from the tall figure being used by Aiyamina. The flames washed over the nearby war....washed over the entire area of Zaishin that portion of the war had been going on in. Then when the bright flames were gone....nothing. Even the other three would be able to see the trail of ash and smoke that had come from the flames that Aiyamina demanded be fired. Mina herself would be able to see much farther from her above position. Buildings turned to ash, burning bodies, smoke raising from a portion of Zaishin...and according to Aiyamina this was only a portion of what the form was capable of. But....she spared...no one. All those...noble, rebel, yokai who were within that area....could they even have survived such an attack? "I will use this power...to make sure Zaishin remains a state of order and protect it. As soon as I deal with ALL of these insignificant scum who dare take advantage of chaos to get their ways."

More sweat formed on Minaβs brow, beads of cold dripping to the floor of the temple. It was all she could do to keep herself together as her grandmother began to explain her plot. The creature of fire was continuing to drain the Jonin of her chakra, and it felt like Minaβs blood was running cold because of it. The womanβs breaths began to shudder more and more violently with each exhale. How long had it been since she connected to the flame? Had it only been a minute? That was impossible. It had to have been far longerβ¦ right?
Mina felt a wave of nausea wash over her as the three of them were slowly lifted into the air. She was already light headed, and the rising altitude wasnβt helping. She didnβt, or couldnβt, pick herself up from her hands and knees as they came to a stop, using the wind around them like a solid platform. Aiyamina was continuing her talk, but Mina was hardly processing any of it. It was when the fire woman held her hand out, and gathered flame in her palm, that made Minaβs head shoot up. βYou canβt be seriousβ¦β she breathed as she traced the targeted path with her eyes. Then, just as the woman predicted, the woman shot a massive ball of flame off into the distance. It crashed into its intended target, exploding into a massive dome of crimson and gold flame, before fading into a blanket of fire.
The display left Mina speechless. Any thoughts, any emotions, had all but left her as she stared on in horror, jaw agape, at the destruction the creature caused. That Mina had caused. Even from where the three of them floated, she could hear the screams of people burning. But whether they were real, or ghosts of New Verales, was hard to say. Trembling, Mina clenched her fists, digging her nails into her palm, as panic hit her like a brick. The destruction was indiscriminate, ignorant to things such as friend or foe.
βWhat is wrong with you?!β Mina found herself yelling, screeching actually, as loud as she could. She shot to her feet and whipped around to face her grandmother. A movement she would instantly regret. She stumbled, and it took all of her effort not to fall to the ground below, as her vision tripled for a few seconds. She was gasping now, holding herself up by pressing her hand to her upper thigh. βArenβt you trying to help?! You donβt know who was over there! They couldβve been allies! Or people that couldnβt even fight!β Mina took a second to catch her breath, panting as she did her best to stay vertical. Despite her exhaustion, her green eyes carried an emerald fire as she glared at Aiyamina. βYouβre insane.β

Fumiko listened to the other boy's words, thinking back on that wording. "I mean, maybe? They seem like they're hiding something, but i dunno what it could be. Wish Mina's stupid head would figure that part out. Instead, we're just waiting for something to happenβ¦" The girl paced back and forth with an impatient gait, looking between Ten and Kuchi each. She eventually would sit down with a huff and just wait for things outside to boil over. Of course, things seemed to go sideways as a mysterious figure would while the Akimichi looked to the sky. If the other two were to do the same, the trio was looking up at Mina, her grandmother, and the other fiery woman with them. "What the hell are they doing?" Fumiko asked, squinting her eyes upward at the women above them.
Suddenly, an inferno washed over the surrounding area, setting an unknown amount of the city on fire. The heat could be felt for what felt like miles, and Fumiko jumped to her feet in surprise, pointing up there. The two were now just having fun scorching entire districts worth of fighting and battle, even the nobles were not spared from this fate. "You know what, Mina can suck the yolk out of a spoiled egg roll. I'm going up there and getting our teacher down." she said, putting her left fist into her right palm while looking back at the two behind her. "Whoβs coming with?"
Regardless of the answer, Fumiko would cast a few hand seals as her body would begin to grow upwards. Her massive form was gaining pounds and weight, with her torso growing exponentially larger. The girlβs height would reach seven foot, eight foot, ten footβ¦It kept growing until Fumiko would reach the height of the three women. "Hey Granny!" Fumiko yelled, puffing her chest out while scowling at her, Mina and this flame woman. "Whatβs your problem?! We came to help out YOUR stupid clan, not to help turn this place into a bonfire!" The genin said, pointing at Mina before looking over her form. The student would panic at seeing mina so weakened and drained. "Thatβs it, screw your stupid family, weβre outta here, and youβre buying us lunch on the way back." Fumiko said, moving to grab Mina and pry her away from her grandmother and friend.

Ten nodded in agreement with Fumiko and Kuchi in turn. βYeah, we probably should. I donβt know if Minaβs in any danger or not, but Fumikoβs right. Thereβs definitely more to her request than that old hag is letting on.β Ten picked up Fumikoβs pacing after she sat down. The waiting was the worst part for him, and every second that passed felt grating. It wasnβt until Fumiko spoke again that Ten realized that something was happening. He traced her line of sight up into the air. βThat doesnβt seem good,β Ten whispered to himself.
The heat of the blaze they had sparked brushed against the back of his neck and sent a shiver down his spine. As the Akimichi expanded her body, Ten climbed his way as high up on top of the temple building as he could. With his hands resting against at his sides, Ten pushed small bone pellets through the tips of his fingers, preparing for the backlash from the psychotic fire sage. βCareful, Fumiko. We donβt know what sheβs capable of.β Ten agreed with the plan to separate Mina from Aiyamina, but he also knew that she probably wouldnβt let them secure their leader freely.

The green haired genin stared up towards where Mina and her grandmother floated to. Then watched in a mixture of awe and horror as the flames from the other woman scorched through earth, structure, and person alike far enough off that fortunately he wasn't able to see exactly what had happened....but he knew what something along those lines could do. It was his job to know the dangers of certain things such as this, the destructive power and burning that it could cause. Had he been closer to the area scorched perhaps he would be much less composed. "F-Fala..." He uttered, his allies were already making their moves in response to what had just happened as well. The small bird only needed the single word from Kuchi in order to know what she was required to do. Flying quietly up to Fumiko's shoulder as the small girl grew to an enormous size. Then as Fumiko reached out to grasp Mina in order to separate her from her grandmother the small bird flew out towards Mina as well. The bird's body glowing and as it would come into contact with Mina would envelop Mina in a green glow in order to sooth Mina of any mental stresses she might have had from the situation at hand. Then at the same time creating a shield of wind that pushed Mina away from her grandmother and the other female form. Giving Fumiko an even better opportunity to grab Mina and get her further away from the two. The determined look on the young green haired boy's face as he stared up towards them.
"Our flames are ones of purity," Aiyamina began as she looked at her granddaughter. "Purifying them so they and Zaishin may rise from the ashes is helping them." The woman spoke calmly and with no doubt of the words she spoke. Which only served to prove Mina's statement of her being insane. The large form of the small girl Aiyamina would look towards. "I don't need you, child." Before she could do or say anything else though the shield of wind that separated her from Mina gave the girl the time to grasp Mina. A bit of anger showing on the woman's face. Looking down towards the green haired tamer and man the other genin who she was sure was going to try something but she didn't know what. Then to the girl who now had separated her from Mina. "Insignificant Children, you do not know the importance of anything. You merely get in the way of things you don't understand and impede on our progress." The old woman would point down towards the two still standing at the ground. The flaming figure near her firing flames down upon the two with the full intention of engulfing them in fire. "If you wish to be purified by our flames, so be it." She spoke at the same time as this was happening. She spoke calmly, eerily so. As if nothing she had done to now had fazed her. Nothing she caused would do anything to this woman's mental. She was, insane.
As the powerful flames streamed down towards Ten and Kuchi, a crackling sound could be heard by the two of them from the sides. Ten and Kuchi would feel themselves being lifted from their positions and quickly soaring through the air. Lightning pulsing around them, then they would find themselves placed upon the enlarged Fumiko's shoulder. A large masculine form, probably the size of if not larger than the flaming figure that stood next to Aiyamina, floating next to Mina Squad. Lightning like aura pulsing, eyes featureless and glowing and hair of a similar color to his blue lightning. "Huh, that's odd. She isn't usually destructive." The figure's voice boomed out, like thunder as he spoke. "Child, what have you done to my sister?" He asked. Clearly referring to Aiyamina as he spoke....addressing the old woman as a child, and seemingly the figure of flames as his sister. Which considering the similarities of the two of them. Large figures who practically looked as if they exuded lightning and fire respectively from their bodies.

βYouβre justβ¦ culling anyoneβ¦ that isnβt on your side..β Mina managed to gasp out between heavy breaths. She tried to rise to her full height, but the motion made her woozy. The Jonin swayed and stumbled, nearly falling off of the edge of this invisible platform. She could feel her chakra continuing to be siphoned from her into the bottomless pit of chakra that was the woman made of fire. Still, even not in her top condition, Mina still tried to give her grandmother a hard look. It felt like her very lifeblood was being pulled from her veins every second, and the edges of her vision began to darken the more she tried to fight unconsciousness. But, even still, Mina could feel the heat of the flames that just incinerated a portion of Zaishin. Or it felt like she could anyway. She wasnβt going to let another innocent person burn, especially not by her own fire. Never again.
Before Mina could formulate her words, her squad was already at her side to back her up. Sheβd actually forgotten her kids were there. While the Jonin was going to give them an earful for ignoring orders, she was thankful to them for doing so. Maybe the earful would be lessened. Still, what were the three of them able to do? Fumiko attempted to grab Mina, but the red headβs dizziness made her lose balance at the worst possible time. The Akimichi went to grab andβ¦ missed, as Mina fell over the side of the platform and careening to the ground roof of the temple. Mina crashed into the wood next to Ten and groaned as she pushed herself up onto her elbows. Her body was sore from the fall, but at least Fala was able to calm her mind. The soothing jutsu washed over Minaβs psyche like a bucket of cool water.
βYou four need to get out of here,β she managed to say after a long second. Even from this distance, somehow she could feel her chakra continuing to be drained. βIβll hold her back, but she doesnβt need you. If you fight her, she will kill you.β Mina struggled as she shakily rose to her feet. Not even a second later, Ayamina rained fire down upon the group of Genin. It left Mina with no time to think, and just barely enough time to act. The Jonin jumped in front of Ten and Fala, her arms spread to either side against the infernal storm, wincing as she braced for the incoming pain.
After another long moment, Mina cracked her eyes open as she realized that the searing pain wasnβt coming. The flames had been dissipated by crackling electricity, as another man now hovered in the air. βIβ¦ wasnβt expecting that. Is he on our side?β She breathed, blinking with wide, confused eyes.
Ten watched stunned as Mina fell and landed beside him. After he heard the cracking of the wood, he rushed over and offered a quick apology for not catching her. 'This rescue attempt is going well so far,' he thought sarcastically. As Mina told the group to leave, Ten snorted and turned to look up at the flaming entity Aiyamina was controlling. "You know we won't do that. We leave when you leave, and we ALL are getting out of here alive," he said flatly.
As Aiyamina directed a torrent of, as she put it, "purifying fire" towards himself, Mina, and Kuchi, Ten brought his hands together in a flurry of hand seals, molding his chakra and taking a deep breath. However, before he could release the technique he was preparingβ¦. He felt his body leave the ground and a moment later was standing on Fumiko's shoulder.
"What the hell? How'd I get up here?" He glanced around quickly, not wanting the crazy old lady currently burning the land around him to be out of his sight for longer than necessary, but still wanting to figure out his sudden transportation. He made a face after spotting the floating man. Inferring that he had been the one to lift him up to Fumiko's shoulder, Ten returned his glare to Aiyamina and pointed held his hands in front of him, bone pellets still prepared to fire. "Zaishin is so weird," he muttered before calling out to check on their sensei. "Hey, Mina! You alright?"

β±β°β±Akaran walked with Samatha and Seika toward the eternal fire temple. His heart was heavy after listening to what Seika was going through. "I promise I'll protect you if anything bad happens with your family." Akaran gave her a sincere and comforting smile after he made his promise. He had some ideas for ways that he could help but he wanted to give it some time first. He turned his face back toward the road as light snowflakes began drifting to the ground. "It's starting to flurry again." Akaran's smile grew as he caught a snowflake on his tongue. Despite his stress and responsibility, he still had an innocent way about him. "Oh and, thank you again for taking me to the hospital after the battle back then. I'm happy for that, Say-ka and Sa-ma-tha." The oni turned his head and smiled at both of them as he could feel the heat from the temple warming the cold mountainous air. That meant that they were getting closer.
β±β°β±Akaran stopped on the steps and looked up as he heard the light footfalls of the all too familiar Seinaru Enjo elder. "Hello Akaran, Samatha." Eiji spoke flatly and refused to refer to Akaran as the shogun. However, he was much less openly hostile than the last time Akaran was there. He was relieved for that much at least. "Hello. I seek entry as a restorer of the great flame and clansman of the Say-na-ru En-jo." Akaran spoke highly formally as he read the writing that was on his right palm. He wanted to make sure to use the formal terminology he had learned days earlier. "And, uh, as Asaryu..." Akaran went off script momentarily as he looked up at the old sage. "Stay your tongue! You know nothing of the Asaryu! People are telling lies." Eiji shouted and stomped so loudly that his voice and foot echoed through the front courtyard of the temple, which he was facing. "It's not a lie. I don't lie." Akaran spoke truthfully in that he believed that he matched the description. Eiji then scowled at both Seika and Samatha, Akaran's companions. "Do either of you even know what he's talking about?!" Eiji shouted again with all of his fiery might before sighing and continuing. "You might remember it from your children's tales. It's not a real thing. Asaryu means "the morning dragon." The tale says that a half-samurai and half-yokai man wields the lost eternal flame sword in his soul and wears the mark of the familiar. It's said that sword helped light the first fires of Eien Hono Temple thousands of years ago but disappeared. Fools think that the sword will one day reappear from the soul of AsaryΕ«. But it's all nonsense, I've studied the flame for my whole life, it's powered my yokai essences and natural energy, nothing more and nothing less." The elderly man ranted before completing his tirade in a huff. "I appreciate you restoring the fire but by making these claims, you're an apostate. I'm not allowing you entry." Eiji turned around on his heel and began walking in. Akaran reached a hand out and then turned to his friends for advice. "What should I do?" Anxiety overwhelmed Akaran as he thought of what to do next.

β±β°β±Moving silently from the shadows of the streets, a young boy who wore a plain beige Yakuta with no other accessories aside from a long scarf wrapped around his neck tightly several times that still flowed behind him. The boy was no taller than 5'4 and looked as though he would blow away with the wind at any moment. His brown hair blew in the cold wind as the faded brown eyes stared blankly into the distance, never giving sight to the boy. For being blind he moved remarkably well through the streets and alleys to have caught up to the group ahead of him. He would approach as quietly as possible, but not intentionally.
He would finally make himself known as he neared the man who denied Lord Akaran entry. " Your heart is beating at an irregular rate. Either you're about to have a life ending emergency or you're nervous. Do you have some reason to be nervous of letting someone prove their claim? You would deny Lord Akaran his passage that does you no harm besides proving indefinitely that your children's tales are false as far as you know. " He sighed, smiling as he bowed to Akaran while standing to his side. " Apologies for the delay, Akaran-Sama. I have only just completed my training. " He smiled toward the elderly man who barred passage but his smile seemed hollow beneath the physical appearance.
_______________ βOut Of Contextβ Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β― Enter.
When we scream, our lips don't make a sound We march, with feet on solid ground We walk, where no one wants to go, on this untraveled road
To see Akaran being shut down, spat down on, and be left to overwhelming anxiety by Eiji with such fierce unbelief to his story. She remembers it happening back in the castle, the great golden dragon flames devouring Machigi with nothing left but ashes. She had never seen anything like that so vastly and comparable to the Black flames of the Uchiha. "Eiji, if it wasn't for Akaran and him aiding me on the mission you assigned, the flame wouldn't of been returned at all. Shelter here at the temple during the civil war would of been for naught and many more would of died. .... I lost my one student, the one person i swore a promise to get stronger and for her to live her dream. The dream of becoming a great Samurai, that's all she wanted, and yet as her teacher, i failed to protect her. Akaran did more then i could ever do, specially at the Castle because of the Asaryu."
She would go up closer and stands her ground once more and further speaks. "I may have not known the tales back then as a child but as a adult, i know them to be true and Akaran is it. If you won't trust him, then trust me and the words i have spoken to you. You can trust someone who isn't a half or even a full Yokai can't you?" Proposing such a question, her Sharingan almost felt like it ached a bit, not physically but its like emotion is gathering up in her single eye. Sadness, care, love, grief, and loneliness, her eye could explode with all of that emotion in her Sharingan. Could it advance and get stronger because of the stress she feels herself underneath confronting Eiji with everything that has happened? If possible, is it because of the strong love and care she has about Akaran that she can't stand to see a man turn him down so badly as if he just gave him a beating? Does it remind her of how the Commander treated her, considering even then, she was following the Bushido code like she should of? Its like almost relieving the very moments of that from a month ago dealing with Eiji.
So hold on for a moment, if we're not scared of opponents Then with what we have we can own it, we'll just plant the seed and keep growin' it And when that light shines in the mornin', they'll still be waken' up yawning But we'll be smilin' like we expected, with sweet victory one method
Chakra Pool: 3,890 Stamina Pool: 3,690 Nature Chakra: 1,500 Class Specialization Passives:
First Class: Bloodline β±β°β± {Dual Ancestry} β {Dual Ancestry allows you to have full access to two bloodlines upon creation including all techniques, abilities, and personal attributes associated with them. For biographical purposes, your secondary bloodline may be genetic or implanted at your discretion. This discipline gives you [4] bloodline PAs to be used only for the bloodline attributes of your dual bloodlines on top of the [2] personal attributes you receive at base for a total of [6]. If two elemental bloodlines are chosen then the primary bloodline's elemental affinities become your base elements and you gain full access to those elements while your secondary bloodline gives you locked elemental affinities that you cannot learn ninjutsu techniques from but you gain full access to the secondary bloodline. Locked elemental affinities can be unlocked through methods such as ninjutsu class or personal attributes. Elemental affinity personal attributes are automatically allotted to locked affinities. Jiongu users do not have access to Dual Ancestry nor can they be chosen as a secondary bloodline. Dual Ancestry users do not have access to the implant system including the Genetic Palette personal attribute. If you use multiple techniques from both of your bloodlines in the same post without Korabo then those techniques are increased in effectiveness by one rank. This discipline cannot be taken with the Elemental Mastery discipline from Ninjutsu Class.} Second Class: Genjutsu β±β°β± {Lasting Hypnosis} β {The user's genjutsu prowess has achieved a heightened level of potency and lingers for longer. The primary sense of any genjutsu that was released using Kai lingers for [1] additional post. This residual effect is minor because the manipulation of the target with the technique has ended. For example, a complete darkness sight genjutsu that was dispelled may leave the lingering feeling that the world is still a bit darker than it is in reality. If a genjutsu used a mental status effect then it will linger for [1] post longer at one level below what it was before at a minimum of level one. Originally level one mental status effects are too weak to linger. The base duration of your genjutsu are increased by [1] post at E-C, [2] at B-A, and [3] at S and above. Instance genjutsu are not affected by an increase of duration but instead cannot be dispelled by kai and only by pain. Genjutsu upkeep lessens by [5] Chakra per body rank and non-Instant are applied with overwhelming up to S Rank, requiring lingering genjutsu to use [1.5x] the resource to Kai.} Third Class: Taijutsu β±β°β± {Battlefield Presence} β {The user's powerful presence on the battlefield strikes terror into their foes. Opponents are able to sense the user's terrifying fighting spirit five feet from the user per body rank of the user through chakra sense. Those within range can have this radiating fearful aura become the trigger for genjutsu, allowing genjutsu to be cast by acknowledging the user. In addition, should an opponent be targeted by a melee technique that is greater in rank than the target's body rank that target has tier two paralysis applied to their legs, requiring it to be broken by Kai equal to the user's body rank, costing the target no action for that specific instance of kai.} Signature Style: [ Light Touch Style ] β±β°β± Cross Class or Specialization: β Bloodline β Genjutsu: The user is able to combine their bloodline techniques and genjutsu together for one action by using the bloodline technique as a trigger by effecting the target's senses. This ability has a three post cool down. Bloodline Techniques and Genjutsu cost five chakra less per rank of the technique.

Strolling about the Fire temple clad in mostly dark coloured clothing with red lining, these expensive hakama adjacent clothing not fully traditional and holding aspects of clothing one might see in the larger cities outside the lands of Zaishin. Slung across her back was her Odatchi Kujin, the blade over a metre in length and sheathed in an oddly reinforced scabbard that seemed cheaper than anything else she had, the hilt of the weapon tied by two strong, thick pieces of string to signify no intent to unsheathe the weapon. This young woman, Haumea had been spending some time enjoying herself in the spiritual importance and environment of the newly invigorated Eternal Flame, pondering over the legitimacy of such a title when recent events had proven the flame could be put to an end. This left her feeling the name was a bit pretentious but she respected it and the flame itself nonetheless, for there was no value in allowing such an opinion to damage how she felt over expanding her feelings instead. Ever since the war she had found herself here time and time again, why that might be she was not sure but Haumea did know that it involved her needing to be here so here she was. Just as she was beginning to consider some esoteric debate with no one in her head on the contradictory concepts of her appreciating an Eternal flame in comparison to the continuous changes of the forward flow of timeβ¦, a loud noise did catch her attention.
Pausing the contemplation at hand and looking toward the direction of where said noise came from she realised that at least part of what she heard was a raised voice, which wasnβt entirely appropriate unless someone who worked here was being reprimanded for a very foolish error, though it seemed off that such a thing would be taking place at the entrance. With a brisk walk the black haired lass strode toward the commotion, coming up behind the Elder Eiji and though she could hear and understood the lecture he trying to hand out, though he attention was immediately caught by the red haired Half-Yokai who was apparently their new Shogun. Itβs him, the one who appeared at the last minute when we were facing down Machigai, all I could do was slow things, if it weren;t for him I and a lot of others would certainly be dead. He must be why iβve needed to be here, I must offer him my gratitude, he is my benefactor after all. She thought as her face came into view for the other but their eyes would be exclusively on either Eiji or one another, the new Shogun looking rather rattled by the vehement rejection of entry thrown his way. She found this treatment and how it seemed to make Akaran feel unfortunate, it seemed the man was not able to know himself enough to remain confident and push for what he wanted but it seemed he had at least he had others to help mitigate this flaw. First it was some lad, barely shorter than herself, who would step forward to face what Akaran struggled to. The first thing she noticed was his eyes that saw nothing but granted him the opportunity to see the world in other ways, a trait commonly allowing people a greater level of appreciation and were closer to enlightenment, his swords second followed by his modest and plain attire. Due to the cover of being behind Eiji and as such not visually observed by her she could not help but let a little bit of a humoured expression cross her face, the lack of respect shown toward the elder then offered to Akaran and how that made the man feel, even if the lad didnβt matter to him was a rather humorous thought to her. Haumea couldnβt help leaning a little forward to peer at Eiji out the corner of her eyes that were so oppressively blue the pupils appeared submerged and distant beneath the colour, not she about letting these people she didnβt know see her do this and ready to get an earful if the Elder noticed her activities before the smile was corrected and her gaze shifting to the next to speak.
Iβve also seen her before, fighting one of the generals on the rooftop, seemed to wear her heart on her sleeve, Samatha I think the name was, she made quite the name for herself through her actions i believe. She thought to herself as the Samurai demonstrated, Haumea finding what the other was saying to be more intriguing, being as Haumea saw was happened up close and person, yet one thing that she did not remember seeing nor Samatha mention was the actual sword the Asaryu was meant to bring forth(lest iβve missed something). Haumea personally didnβt feel too strongly one way or the other but found how impassioned Samatha was to be admiral and would not fault her unyielding confidence in what they were saying to Eiji. The one thing she wasnβt fond of was the fact that Samatha was here with one of her blades drawn, metaphorically speaking, the crimson red eyes of violence being active left Haumea uneasy but she didnβt expect anyone else to share her views of Samatha having them active might represent. It was true the samurai had done Haumeaβs clan a service so hopefully the Elder would listen, though an attempt to tip the scales in their favour probably wouldnβt hurt.
She would step forward so she was more beside the senior Eiji but to avoid stepping ahead of him, placing both hands together in a prayer motion as she bowed and said βAmitabah, well met Senior Eiji, Shogun Akaran and entourage, perhaps a moment of pause is needed for it seems emotions have run high and become complicated over opposing opinions.β She stated calmly and respectfully, her tone playing into neutrality and the intent to peacekeep, lowering one of her hands as she paused, the other staying pointing up in front of her. βI think the initial reason Lord Akaran decided to grace us was to visit the temple over some sort of business, perhaps seeking information about himself of the tale of the Asaryu, which though not confirmed and a tale of old, I had attest to the fact that the man before you is now related to us, not including the thanks and respect he is due for assisting in the Eternal flames restorationβ¦. even if sceptical about his claims, you have studied the flame for so long, is it wrong to study some more and involve him, no stone can take shape without the work of the sculptor or mason and a land deemed inhospitable can become a paradise with research and effort.so can you be sure it is the correct choice to overlook this mystery with presumption and avoidance.β She expressed calmly and not really caring if her analogy was strange, comparing Akarans connection the the Asaryu to an untamed and avoided wilderness made sense to her, the woman looking between everyone to try and get a gauge on them before looking to Eiji and bowing her head βI do mean no disrespect Senior Eiji but what harm could listening to their words of confidence and at least offering Akaran the ability to enter, I think that the future stories that could happen if there is some truth may open up with one or two statements about yourself. Wouldnβt being the man who explored and supported a return of the Asaryu as opposed to reject and delay the unveiling of the truth. Besidesβ¦, taking the time to learning the truth surely could cause no harm or be too steep of a show of appreciation to our clan and the entire countries Benefactor could it?β She left of with that, slinking bad a step and keeping her head lowered and expression passive, choosing to try and set up some bait in the form of potential prestige and honour or merit in being more open to Akaran, even if doubting, Haumea hoping Eiji might bite at the idea. She would now wait with her head staying slightly lowered, wondering if more words from the people flanking Akaran might be of contribution to trying to temper and shape the rigid Eiji, perhaps the member of the great water clan who was present would speak up and contribute to cooling the older man's burning resistance.

"Thank you..." Was all that Seika could say, the samurai walking along with the two towards the fire temple as she crossed her arms with her brows furrowed. So much was on her mind, and any kind of attempt to clear it was just met with more confusion and uncertainty. Yet she didn't bring it up with Akaran out of fear of what he might even think of her for doing so. Seika pursed her lips still and would walk alongside Samatha and himself. Her sheaths gently tapped against the side of her leg, the lavender robes blowing in the breeze as Seika would find herself at the steps of the Temple. She had always heard stories of it from her cousins, just blowing around and such, until the first time she had stepped foot inside. Seeing it again brought a feeling of nostalgia as she looked up at the elder standing before them. The oni tried to gain access inside but to very little collaboration from the man. What she had thought would happen would come to fruition as they looked at Akaran being denied access.
"The Asaryu, I know of it, yes." She said in response to the elder softly, before he went into a rant about the story. It was pretty fitting for the events that had transpired. yet that old bullheadedness of the previous generation burned just as bright as the flames did. Yet Seika would suddenly join everyone in their defense of the man as he was thrown such insults against himself. "You would deny a hero of Zaishin entry into his own blood's temple? I can attest being present when he fell Machigai. His claims to being here are as valid as your own for protecting your sacred fire." She said with a frown as he'd spin back inside. She huffed, turning back to Akaran. "A barring from entry, the typical Seinaro Enjo greeting."
Just as they all seemed ready for another impromptu screaming session, another person would come forth and let their opinions be announced. Acting as the voice of reason, they'd vouch for Akaran as well while playing to the elder's good side. A feat that Seika surely had no real patience for at the present. They'd have to wait and see if their words would have any meaning to him.
Modifiers: β±β°β± 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.
β±β°β± 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.

Genjutsu effecting the heightened sense are able to be detected upon being casted, causing one tier less in mental stress.
