Helshgate: A Castle that had popped up one day near a small village near the land of tea. Locals had reported strange noises and missing people ever since it had appeared. Sending off request after request to any village that would listen to their plea, Several months have passed since then and no ninja or mercenary who entered has come back out alive anyways....Recently the request have stopped most of the villagers have accepted the horror that has come over them.
The castle is made using the Stone Castle Creation just rank at S... The user forms the required hand signs, causing the earth within a two hundred foot area to take the shape of a castle to the user's designs. This castle may be as complex as desired so long as it is formed from rock alone. These castle walls require techniques of S+ Rank to destroy them and are permanent fixtures. The castle has been equipped with a rare yokais body to help the castles owner to monitor and act using their skills and minions as they see fit. Due to the eccentric nature of the owner they have hidden clues items and other dangerous and helpful things around.
Front gate: A large courtyard where ninja and mercenaries may enter. The will find it to be littered with bones and corpses of past guest. The stench of death strong yet things as colorful banners, tables filled with fruits and wines placed all around could also be seen. intact corpses could be seen sitting at these tables arranged as if at a dinner party. Past this would be the large double doors With a opened scroll pinned to the left door.Behind the scroll would show a strange shaped key hole.Appearing to be circular "Welcome to my home...If your reading this you must have come to join the party...Well if your hear for that or not does not matter anymore..Do make yourself s at home you might be here for awhile ehehhe....Well anyways if you do wish to leave i suggest going up...but be careful little ones a short cut can really leave your head rolling...Now i must be rambling Eye for and eye that is key."

"What edge lord built this crap hole? Bet it was one of those eye perverts." Sumika said as she stopped just short of the threshold of the courtyard. It was unlikely any of those bodies were a good candidate for puppetry, enticing as that might have been, and she wasn't so stupid that she'd be the first one stepping into an obvious trap. First one to an obvious trap, sure. First one setting an obvious trap, definitely. First one in an obvious trap? Just plain gauche. Now of course she'd gladly follow when the others got here.

Roku approached the front gate, feeling rather uneasy that he had been brought here. The first thing that really got to him was the smell. It was absolutely the worst thing he had possibly ever smelt in his life. As he approached the gate, he noticed that someone else was already here. The boy eased his pace a bit to walk a bit more carefully in case the person was an enemy or gasp an undead creature. His attention quickly changed to the many bones and bodies in various states of decay. 'Now they better remain that way.' Zombies always freaked the boy out. At the time, the boy decided it was best to remain quiet. This was about to be a weird field trip and he didn't want to get in anyone's way.

Nami approached the area, singing softly to herself. Her job was to investigate and see what's up. Though part of her wondered if they wanted her out of the area just for a bit to give them a breather. Back home, they started to call her workaholic and she doesn't understand that. Pale grey-blue glance over the corspes and skeletons. Shame. Some people believe that burial was important or cremation. What happened here that people can't bury or rather, cremate them? The smells wasn't that bad. Considering she had live close to the waters, the occasional massive amount of dead fishes or even a huge whale wash up on the shore, now that was a smell to gag at. Fat whale rotting carcass. Blue hair flowed as she smiled, remembering the memory of how tourist were complaining of their trip being ruined and the people in the village? Nah. They weren't bothered. Sometimes, on purpose, they would leave it to rot to be tourist free until they finally decide to throw the carcass into the ocean so nature can take care of it, or burn it to ash. Upon approaching, she found a familiar face and a younger face who she had not yet met. "Hello Sumika!" She called out with a wave, her umbrella currently closed as she was holding it with her other hand. "Hi there little one." She then glanced up towards Sumika, "I did not know you had a child!" She leaned forward slightly, her hands on her thighs, "Hello little one. What's your name?"

tabTrying to find Helshgate Castle had been an adventure all on it’s own. Hailing from the Land of Iron, Sugakuda’s trip was anything but short. But the samurai had to be certain… The girl reached into a pocket on her hooded black cloak and pulled out a folded note. Tracing the paper with a black gloved finger she opened it open to examine its contents: an invitation to Helshgate, addressed to her by name. Which struck her as odd because, aside from Miss Ikiomi, no-one else really knew her. Unless whoever hailed the summons knew something about her rather blank past. It seemed like a longshot, but Sugakuda seemed at least a little hopeful and she wasn’t about to let the chance slide by. She replaced the letter back into her pocket just as a loud squawk came from somewhere overhead. Inside the white cloud of thick fog that surrounded Suga from every which direction, the source of the noise was almost invisible. Almost. To the more trained eye was Suga’s pet bird, a white crow named Tsuki. A flap of its wings gave it away before it let out another squawk. Suga rolled her eyes, a motion that was invisible under the shadow her hood provided. “We’re not lost.” She leaned her head back to yell up at the bird in an annoyed tone, the tassels that hung on either side of her hood jangling. Tsuki would call out again and it almost seemed like he was taunting his master. “No, we’re not. I know exactly where we are! See?” Suga jabbed a finger at a tree passing by that had a deep gash in its bark. “I know exactly where we are! That’s the same tree I marked so we don’t get… lost…” Tsuki would let out a laughing caw as Suga sighed.
It was only a few moments later that Suga emerged from the woods to face a group of three other travelers. And while Suga could clearly see two women and a child, all they would be able to see was a hooded figure with a black cloak and a shadow for a face. Quick, be cool Suga! Introduce yourself!“Hi, I’m not lost.” She said awkwardly. Smooth. There was a small pregnant pause before Suga tried to cover it up. “He started it.” The words rushed out of her mouth as she pointed to Tsuki, who was gliding down to perch on her shoulder. She mentally groaned. “And you...are?” She asked the group with a tilt of her head.

Alright this was new and almost entirely up her the young Seikas interests, save for one important detail, this was real and not a work of fiction. ”Hah, normally I’d find this imagery pretty cool... not so much now.” She said to nobody in particular with touch of concern in her voice. She spoke this as she arrived at the entrance to this questionable location, taking in her surroundings and gulping when she caught sight of the silent and still corpse party banquet. Whelp this was great, jumping onboard to serve as medical support on an obscure seeming request had turned sour quicker than milk on the Sahara. Pacing over to the group of gathered people and pulling off the large backpack she had been carrying to place it on the ground at her feet when she came to a stand still at the mouth of the courtyard where the only other warm bodies seemed to exist. Reaching down delicately into a side pouch on the backpack she produced a nice teal coloured fan, snapping it open and waving it casually to cool herself down after lugging her bag so far, releasing a long exhale she did so due to a pang of dread that the visuals were making her feel. As there were people not from the Konoha present and it’s not like she knew any of the others from her village on any personal level she decided it would be prudent to throw a name out and a question ”Hi, yeah ‘m Seika, ummm do you happen to live here....?” She asked tentatively, pointing her fan at Sugakuda, as their Ringwraith-esq garb was particularly synergistic with the current environment that surrounded them, Seika easily able to imagine this one yelling in some horrifying voice and the corpses rising to drag them all to their graves... she really regretted having an active imagination at this point and instead and tried to rid herself of such imagery with a quick shake of her head that she tried to play off as trying to reposition her hair.
Sumika was minding her own business when she heard a familiar voice at her back. She turned to greet Nami, but as she did she came face to face with the boy who had gotten right up next to her without making so much as a sound and absolutely lost it. "HOLY s**t FU- DEMON!" She practically levitated, and had she had the lesser self-control of her younger iterations, she might have encased him in jiton on the spot. Her expression softened a moment later though. "Just some creepy kid, huh? Oh god, there's more." She said to no one in particular as more people came out of the woodworks, quite literally. "I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE WEIRD ONE!" The woman shouted as she stamped her feet childishly at the arrival of the bunch of oddballs before hastily biting her thumb, wiping the blood across her opposing palm, and forming a handseal.
A moment later a large rat, at least by the standards of normal rats, appeared in a poof of smoke next to her. "There's a scroll on the door Barnabas. Grab it for me bud." Easily the most agreeable of the rats, Barnabas squeaked a reply and scurried off up to the door as the puppeteer went back to examining the courtyard. In the meantime Sumika busied herself animating a nearby skeleton and making it wobble across the court yard in front of the group. Clickety clackety clickety clackety, skeleton noise skeleton noise. Barnabas returned shortly with the scroll, squeaking something about a keyhole as she retrieved the item of interest and scanned it quickly. "Uppity bullshit." She said as she haphazardly tossed the scroll over her shoulder. "Seventy five percent chance the key is in one of those dead dudes, twenty five it's in the fruit just to screw with us."

Roku turned his head slightly to his left as he heard someone singing to themselves. As the boy turned around to see where the noise is coming from, he noticed a girl older than her coming up the trail. He opted to remain quiet as she walked forward, eventually greeting the girl he had walked up behind. The woman then jumped in surprise to see the boy there. Roku turned back to the woman now know to him as Sumika only to be called a ‘Demon Child’. He would jump slightly at her reaction and move backward closer to the nicer girl who had not introduced herself. ’Did she not notice me?’ Roku turned towards the nicer girl and would say, “I’m Roku, what’s your name?” That’s when suddenly another couple of people came up to the group.
The first figure of a black cloak and a shadow face honestly creeped Roku out. Part of his instincts took over and he stood half way behind the nicer girl, Nami, so he could peek from behind her. The feeling somewhat went away as the figure gave somewhat of an awkward introduction. Roku mostly didn’t notice how awkward it was due to him looking at the white crow that she blamed for starting something. It reminded him of the crows that the Uchiha were famed for. The female voice asked who they were. Was her name Not Lost? That was a bit of a strange name. Perhaps she forgot to give them her real name? ”Hi, I’m Roku.” The boy repeated to the new people after the other girl had came over to them.
Suddenly, a large rat appeared from seemingly nowhere. Likely cause Roku had pulled his attention off Sumika for a moment. However, the poof of smoke that was left behind showed the summoning jutsu she casted. The boy’s eyes would widen out of fear as the skeleton started to walk across the courtyard. Undead things were not his forte at all. The rat brought back a scroll which was then read by Sumika. Roku didn’t bother trying to catch the scroll as it was tossed. ”So, we have to find the key?” The boy said somewhat Shakely, trying to hide how afraid he was and failing.
While the ninja interacted with each other hidden seals would begin to activate a formation jutsu. with no signs of it activating the shinobi children would be unaware of its functions or its existence dust would gather forming eyes high in the sky, down below in the castles dungeons and all thought the area all but alerting the owner to the guest that had arrived. Back in the courtyard and near the entrance where the group was a eye would begin to observe them far out of view. Those with good hearing would be the first to notice the sound of a clock ticking... High above the ground embedded into the castle wall sat a massive clock its short hand stuck on 3 while the long hand moved as normal. at the current moment the clock read 3:58.Back below the the area also seemed to emit a strange sound. ever so silent at first but as the clock started to reach its new hour the sound would begin to become more and more noticeable
Among the many corpse piles a specific rotten body had a unique sitting position, easy to miss and hard to find the corpse would sit. With its right hand holding a piece of parchment which at first could be mistaken for normal leather yet on closer inspection it was clearly made from a much more familiar material. with its left hand however it seemed to have12 fingers with its third pointing down at the parchment. (Hint: to find this corpse one must test their resolve amoungst the mountain of screams...To find the man who laughs is key when the final hour is struck )

The boy introduced himself as Roku. "I'm Nami." Odd. Wasn't it taboo for a young child to have tattoos? Her eyebrow rose as she was mostly thinking to herself. Perhaps he used tattoos instead of seals or was this part of another bloodline that she does not yet know about. Hearing Sumika shriek about a demon, Nami suddenly was upright as she looked left and right, up and down. "Where?" She questioned but it seemed that her eyes were on the boy who was now hiding behind her. Wait. Why was he hiding behind her?!
"It's a boy, not a demon... Unless that's what the tattoos mean? I'm curious. I never have seen such markings or tattoos rather..." She trailed off as if she was mostly talking to herself. More and more people had arrived, she had not noticed them. A girl had approached and she was called Not Lost. "Interesting name. Nice to meet you Not Lost. I'm Nami." Course, it doesn't help that Nami wasn't very good with social situations so she actually thought that she was being serious on the name. A crow had landed on the female's shoulder. Nami was actually used to scavenger birds. Lots of them along with seagulls when there's a dead body washed up on the shores.
Another female. This one asked the group if they lived here. "No, wouldn't dream of it. It's not by a body of water..." Nami love the ocean, lakes, rivers, swamps. Even big ol' pond would satisify this gal. Temporary. Sumika went on a rant how she was supposed to be the werid one as she bit her thumb and summon up a ... mouse. Nami's eyebrow rose as she glanced sideways towards the crow, wondering if it was going to swoop in and get at that mouse. Hearing the boy piped up, Sumire glanced down at him with her pale blues, "Yes. It would seem so." Not taking note that he was scared. Nami wasn't good with emotions. Or body language for that matter. "Alright. Should we split up to find the key?" She questioned towards the group.

tabRight, names. The Samurai silently chided herself. As if he could hear what the girl was thinking, Tsuki let out a laughing call and hopped off of her shoulder as she bowed to the group with her hands folded in front of her. “Ah, please forgive me. My name’s Sugakuda Usamomi, but everyone calls me Suga. And that loud one up there is Tsuki.” As the hooded figure spoke, her pet bird flew down in front of the small child, Roku. He hovered in front of the kid and looked at him as if examining him before the bird squawked and flew up into the air. “Don’t mind him; there’s not too much actually going on up here.” Suga tapped the side of her head as she joked to Roku. Within a few moments more joined the group at the castle and the samurai took a second to look everyone over. Mostly ninja it seemed like. And while they were all introducing each other, Suga included, the girl didn’t take off her hood. These people were all new to her and as such, she wasn’t too warmed up to the idea of showing them her face. “Is it normal for you shinobi to meet with strangers in a haunted castle?” The samurai asked no-one in particular as she took a few steps around the courtyard, the cords of her cloak jangling some with her movement. “Because this place is definitely haunted. Places like this.” She made a sweeping gesture to the skeletons strewn about. “Don’t become like this without a few ghosts. At least not in the books.” Suga let out a small squeak as a rather large rat ran underfoot from behind her.
Within moments the rat came back, and this time Suga followed it with her gaze to see it return to the weird one with the bad attitude. What was her name..? The hooded figure didn’t have much time to figure it out before the contents of the scrolls were read aloud. "Do… do we have to go up?” Suga’s voice trembled comedically. She wasn’t planning on running, but she couldn’t say she was exactly thrilled with the eye of ghosts or zombies flooding the castle. But if the only out was up, then she figured she’d play along. So while the others were talk among themselves, the girl would walk over to the skeletons laying about and examine them thoroughly,
