Ranmaru sighed as Jyn asked why the ninja have not often seen the yokai. "That's a bit... complicated to answer." He said with a disgruntled shake of his head. "It would be easier to explain at your base of operations to be sure. As two major descendants, Sumire and I are expected to be representatives to the will of the samurai, while Seishirō served as our former squad leader and our retainer. It is our duty to explain to your... Uzukage I think you call them?" He paused as he was unsure of the terminology ninja used. In the samurai kingdom the society was ruled by the five major clans, where one clan every hundred years took over as the head faction. "Whatever it is you call them, the urgent danger that the ninja world will shortly find themselves in, unless we act quickly. We will gladly follow you back to your village. Since you were the first ninja we met on our voyage, I assure that you will be present for the historic negotiations." He said, assuming that the commoner would find great honor in being part of such a landmark breakthrough.

Jyn took one last, lingering glance at the 'New Veralas' they were meant to visit. While they didn't quite finish the assigned mission, they had stumbled upon a new one of diplomatic nature. Ranmaru raised some good enough points that they felt it was appropriate to lead them to the village gate, though they didn't have the authority to authorize their entrance to the village and would require the kage or a guard to look them over properly.
"Allow me to lead the way to Konohagakure, then. I am sure Lady Hokage Lahlil will be delighted to hear about these Yokai."

It was an odd relationship she had with these two. Politically they outranked her by the fact they were nobility. Yet she was in charge of protecting, escorting, and making sure they didn't do anything stupid. Letting out a sigh she made he way to Ranmaru while taking her bow down and relaxing it. Lowering her voice she began,"I am getting paid either way. This just means hazard pay. That being said, I cannot protect you from an entire village should they chose to do something crazy. Well, not with company anyway, alone I could get away. However I do think you should report this to the Shogun before advancing. We will literally be walking into a lions den."

A young man with a box hoisted over his shoulder carefully approached a rowboat that was stationed to sail off into the lake on the other side of New Verales. Once he was close enough, he lowered the box down onto the boat as gently as possible, though his actions still caused it to bob and the water to ripple as if it'd been woken up. It was old and he was sure it was built sturdy once, but lately it seemed to waver against the test of time. Once it seemed like it was in a good position, he stood up and dusted off his calloused hands. A job well done.
Takeda was just about to go back to his client to receive payment when his pale red eyes caught sight of the two ropes holding the boat to the dock. They were loose, which was likely why the boat bobbed so much in the first place. His task was to only deliver the box to the old thing and return, that was true. It would probably hit the ryo he was making though if it drifted away after he was the last one to mess around with it. He knelt down where the nearest rope was and went to work on tightening it. "Jeez. Did he just waste a second on this knot before entering town? I'm surprised it didn't break loose already." He muttered to himself and finished tightening the first one.
While it would have been easy to just walk around and do the second, he was overcome with a desire to test his body. It'd been some time since he left OASIS. Long enough to establish a false identity while he recovered the tendrils he lost in order to be saved. He'd been getting closer to reaching a twelve foot extension with his tendrils over the last couple of days, but the pain that came with pushing his body so hard would end his attempts. It should be about that far away. He extended his hand in the direction of the other rope and a black line appeared on his palm. That line grew in size until two thick tendrils appeared and moved towards the rope. They moved with his will and did so without pain. He'd taken the last of the woman's medication that morning, so maybe it had something to do with it. The knot was tightened and that was that.

He'd planned to go back to town in the usual manner. With his face obscured by his hood and preferably away from any groups. Tension was something that could be felt in the air when in New Verales, and he wasn't looking to start anything. Unfortunately for the hooded young man, trouble had its way of finding him. He'd just left the docks and turned the corner when he felt a hand push up against him. It was large, and attached to a fairly muscular man, but all that man ended up doing was pushing himself back. "Well, looks like things're addin' up. I get a panicked 'seeker' up in my face not a minute ago sayin' "someone's using jutsu by the docks". Turns out it's our new 'fixer.'" The man's breath smelled faintly of ale, though such a scent could only be barely grasped through the almost overpowering odor of smoke that came off of the brute known as Shear. His dark brown hair was tossed back and his patchy attempt at a goatee was poorly executed at best. He wore an outfit with plenty of superficial badges and whatnot that probably meant something to the bandits in New Verales but didn't mean s**t to the hooded man.
The only response Shear received was a pale red glare from eyes that belonged to a face he couldn't entirely see.
"Nobody around at this time a' day, No glory in killing ya. Can't be havin' spies from Konoha lurkin' bout though so me and the boys'll shatter yer limbs and leave ya on a road o' yer' choosin'. Fair, Jack?" By "the boys" Shear surely meant the two coins-for-brains guys standing not too far behind him. One tall and lanky, the other stocky but short. How iconic for a trio of useless bad guys. As for the name "Jack," it's just what Takeda decided to go buy during his stay in the derelict town. "Nobody in this town is too bright, Shear, so I doubt you'll listen to an explanation. Just take my advice. Get out of my way before you embarrass yourse-." Well that sure did the trick. He could clearly see the right hook coming at him from a mile away and moved to the side enough to avoid it. He grabbed Shear's oversized and overextended right arm with his own right hand. Gripping it tight, he lunged forward to shove his left fist into Shear's midsection in a solid punch that lurched the man forward enough to be completely vulnerable to an uppercut with the same hand right after.
The large man grabbed the knife holstered on his chest and quickly slashed out only to meet air. His target was gone. Spinning around wildly in a desperate attempt to protect his blind spot, he found "Jack" sliding on the ground away from him while pocketing a very familiar looking coin pouch. He tried to run forward after the apparent thief only to trip over his own fallen pants.
Having sufficiently embarrassed Shear, Takeda ran past the man's "backup" with hardly a scratch. They swung their weapons, of course, but their strikes were reflected off of his hardened body, only managing to put some tears in his outfit. He ran right past them and towards the "fixer's desk" where he knew a coin pouch would be waiting for him for completing his initial request. If Shear showed up so quickly after he left the dock, he doubted that others knew about him being a Shinobi. With that in mind, his escape path was clear so long as he moved faster than the goons he'd just walked all over
He snagged the money off of the counter once he passed by the fixer place. It wasn't bad work, and he actually enjoyed the company of some of the other fixers, but it wasn't a life for him. It wasn't his purpose to waste away in a town full of bandits. He'd planned on leaving once he regained full control of his tendrils, but present circumstances expedited his departure. The roads weren't too far out and he had a good idea of where Konoha was. He'd start making his way there. Continue to recover. Find a purpose. He exited the gates quickly, ignoring the single guard who honestly didn't do all that much. He was out. His journey would begin anew. [5x C-rank Escape New Verales Complete] [180XP & 1800 Ryo]

__ ⊳ Maric walked through the door, bringing his cape closer to his face. The guard at the door didn't bother him much as he was sleep on duty. Shameful. Thought Maric. How could the inhabitants of this beautiful city blessed by the hope of Sol expect to feel safe when the faithful lax? He would have work to do here.
Going deeper into the city, the waste and filth made its presence known. The prostitutes plowed their trade in the streets and Maric saw more than a few assaults in the alleys. The more he saw, the more his heart burned with righteous fire! It couldn't be clearer why he had been called here now, he had to act. Pulling a cardboard box into the center of what passed for a market here, Maric threw down his cloak in a dramatic fashion so that he could call out to the townspeople. "Good people! I beg you to spare only a moment of your time! I come from a distant country to bring you the word of the Most Holy Lady, Sol. Our goddess heard winds of your distress and saw worthy of not leaving you in despair, but of sending his faithful to repair and rebuild your life! Come! Please join me! Join me in the sun so that everyone can bask in its warmth! " Maric's words would not go without proof as he was not a fool, these people would surely reject him after being used to their ways for so long. If he could only convert a few, that would be enough. All around his body, hot twinkling stars of pure light formed in the air. Slowly, they searched their way through the crowd of passers-by and tried to get their attention with warmth and light of hope for a better life.

Mission Exclusive - Protect The Escort: Finale _____× Lasting Memory - David vs Goliath
INDENTTreacherous winds blew ever colder. Dawn crept across the slumbering lands like a spark to cinder. Aeleus, alongside Tanaka and the immobilized Sanada made their way through a secret pathway to New Veralas. Intended to sneak their way passed enemy territory and straight into the City's Capitol. A road known only to a select few gave the Trio a false sense of confidence. *Twitch, twitch.* Little Red's nose wiggled, catching the off putting scent. Sapphire hues tensed. Right arm thrust to his side, signaling the carriage to stop. Left, right. Eyes bounced to and fro. "S-Someone's here.. I know it." Such immense blood lust..Intent to kill plagued the very air he breathed. This wasn't the same assailant from earlier, no. This was a whole different beast entirely.
INDENTAlert eye's flexed. Aeleus instinctively responded to the imminent threat. Although his eyes couldn't detect the strike, his inner senses could. Kunai in hand, left palm supporting right fist. "Wha-" Staggered kunai shuttered in a defensive rage, against... nothing? An massive uproar of wind hurled Aeleus off his feet. Try as he might to combat it and keep a solid footing. His attempts were for naught. "What's going on!?" Elegantly the youth acrobatically preformed a series of flips to realign himself admits the air. Hands touched together for a brevity before feet touched ground. Kunai twirled around his index finger before fancily grasping hold of it with a reverse grip. Whirling winds came to a slow but sure settle. Revealing a massive silhouette ten feet in front of the entourage. Doubling Aeleus in size, it's massive eight foot tall frame cast the entirety of Little Red in an all consuming shadow.
INDENT"G-Goliath....." dreadfully muttered Tanaka. The sheer awe that was felt went deeper than one could verbalize. "B-But how.. you're supposed to be.. they said you had..." "Died? No, but you will. I'll end this, unlike our last encounter, ay' Tanaka." Sanada's body twitched in a feeble struggle to aide his pupil. "A-Aeleus.. Battle strained he'd cry out to his student.. "Rodger!" In that instant Aeleus bolted forwards. Taking the offensive. A much different showing than the night before. "T-This time.." Kunai struck broadsword, sparks flew spark the two warriors. "Brash pest!" Loudly the ringing of metal echoed throughout the forest. Their clash resulting in a gridlock. "This time.. I won't hesitate!" Hesitation went against his shinobi way.. To seize the moment, combat for combats sake. It fueled the youth in a way nothing else could. The battleground was his home, how could he escape it.. Fear evaporated from his body like a raindrop in the desert. His movements began to match Goliath and his speed started to even out rival that of the monstrous beast.
INDENT"Pfft. Don't get confident.. You think this is playtime.. I'LL DESTROY YOU RODENT" Aeleus admitted an aura and demeanor that was foreign to even Sanada. This, was the child's true-self. A vessel of potential fueled by passion. Instincts and intuition guided the child, nothing more. Seemingly always one step ahead of the giant. Mightily the beast roared as his sword slashed powerfully through the tiny child's body. Victory had been seized, and his ego readjusted... At least momentarily. Debris, a mixture of logs and soil poured from the 'body' of Aeleus. "Now!" Goliath dropped his guard and Aeleus wasted no time in punishing the overzealous giant! Tiny in comparison, his foot slammed against Goliath's chest. Propelling the brute skyward. Aeleus positioned himself on all fours, with one sudden 'pounce' he'd vanish from his position along the ground.
INDENTEmerging behind the airborne Goliath. Aeleus swiftly movement undetected by the Brute. Konohagakure's ACE displaying why many rumored his potential. Entranced in the sheer thrill of combat. Powerful his tiny body latched onto the massive oaf. "G-Get the hell out of my way!" Legs locked Goliath's head in place. Downward they'd go, plummeting to the ground with immersible speeds. Aeleus plowed Goliath, head first into the harden moss ground. Mightily the ground shook. Several scattered cracks began to erupt throughout the meadow. Deftly flipped backwards. Creating a gap of three meters between him and the collapsed Brute. Heavily Aeleus would exhale, it wasn't so much the technique taking a toll as it was the effort it took to inflict pain onto such a giant. It took every ounce of strength he had to move that stupid beast! "H-He weighs a ton.." Silence crept it's way into the airways. Our youthful Genin watched in earnest for any signs of movement.."He's.. fin- GAH!?" Arms lashed out defensively, crossing over one another in the shape of an 'X'. Powerful winds shredded Aeleus' clothes in various locations. His arms specifically left naught but his gauntlets in tack. Blood droplets danced a eternal dance with the howling gale. His arms badly gashed.
INDENTForcefully winds launched Little Aeleus skyward. Hands craftily slung themselves forwards. Lacing a seal briefly before launching a onslaught of kunai and shuriken. Goliath's wind manipulation was quite impressive. The magnitude of control the Brute held over his jutsu was something Aeleus found admiration in. "You're finished boy!" Growled Goliath. "F-Father.." The powerful uppercut struck Aeleus' left side, the giant's fist nearly the size of his whole body. Further Little Red had been blasted into the morning sky. The rising sun splashing its divine rays onto it's earth born child, Aeleus. Gravity's terrifying grip urged Aeleus ever downwards. As Goliath ascended for his final strike. "Play times over boy.. YOU'RE FINISHED!" That same build-up of chakra began to emit from Goliath, he was channeling that annoying wind nature once again but this time.. This time, Aeleus was ready. Sapphire's flexed savagely, showing a burning desire to survive. Now was his chance, this was his time to strike!
INDENTGoliath had fallen right into his trap! Like a month ensnared by the spiders web the oversized brute would find himself tangled by a frenzy of wire. The varies shuriken and kunai he had thrown prior was merely a ploy. The true assault had yet to come. "What is this!?" Two windmill shuriken came hurling themselves at the restricted Goliath. Aeleus continuing his plummeting decent. Both spiral passed Goliath, looping about the great oak tree and coming back around to stab both the giant's arms. Pinning them to the massive tree. Hands slapped together, the wire laced around his fingers had become apparent. Even betwixt his gritted teeth. "Yoton" Scuffed words fell on deaf ears. Goliath roared and squirmed both in pain and frustration. As the massive brute attempt to express the wind chakra he had gathered the area had sudden taken a dramatic turn in temperature. It was time to put an end to this.. "G-Give me strength!"
INDENTGentle brown locks rose from the immense pressure created by the sudden arrival of flooding magma. Molten liquid bequeathed itself throughout the varies wires that had been hoisted by the Pyro's teeth. Fanning outward until it covered every wire that was interconnected and lead back to the hub; Aeleus. He stood boldly atop the colossal tree's branch. If it wasn't obvious before it became all too clear now, Goliath had been outwitted, snared and defeated. "I-impossible, children can't use fire nature .. i-it takes too much chakra!" Wrong on both fronts. This was more than mere fire. Boiling Lava wasted no time in transferring the web Aeleus had created. Blending into one torrential assault. Such before the wave of magma scorched Goliath, it personified that of a dragon's head, swooping in to claim its prey. Deathly screams poured from the once arrogant Goliath, "Even Giant's look up to the Sun.." Exhaustively the champion professed. Blurred vision became a distorted mess. Consciousness seeping in and out of reality. Aeleus had put his very essence into that assault. His energy was low and his chakra borderline depleted.
INDENTLava coated all before him, watching the flames of his onslaught burn ever brighter. The screams of his for continue to ring in his ears. Try as he might to remain steadfast the boy succumbed to the inevitability of his collapse. A comforting darkness cast over the child guiding him into a well deserved slumber. Tanaka could not believe his eyes, Goliath, toppled by a mere child.. No, that was wrong. Aeleus was much more than a child and Tanaka could now realize it. Goofy mannerisms covered up a hidden savagery. Smirking the elder made haste in collecting the child, taking this moment, along with the slightly stable Sanada to depart from the cataclysmic battle scene and into the Capitol of New Veralas!
INDENT"A-AH!" In a bolt of realization Aeleus arose. Hurling his upper half from the deep slumbering stiffness. Anxiously eye's darted back and forth scanning the environment before him.. But wait, he wasn't in the meadow.. In fact he was no longer in the parting lands. "W-Where am I" Sights swayed to his bandaged hand, its wrappings traveling up the entirety of his arm. Only then did he feel the thawing pain from his chaotic battle. Left eye winching shut from the overwhelming pain that shoot throughout his being. "I would take it easy, if I were you." Appearing just to the left of the boy, was his beloved Sensei, seemingly completely recovered from the venom's turmoil. "S-Sanada-sama!" Dry tears of joy wept from Aeleus to see his sensei was unharmed. "Y-You saved me, I'm.. I." Sanada's arms crossed confidently gazing unto his student. "No Aeleus, you saved us." Such praise gave the boy's such overwhelming emotions, specifically pride. "U-Us? .. S-So Mr.Tanaka, then that means!" Sanada couldn't help but smile happily, the boy seemed to always get that out of you. "That's right.. Mission, complete."
__ Kotori led the way for the rest of her teammates on the way to the shantytown of Veralas. It smelled. Mostly bad, but a lot of it was scents she'd never encountered before. The dull roars of an excitable community could be heard deeper in. Kotori's gaze fell on the one guard that was standing posted outside of the little village, but they seemed overall disinterested with the goings-on. "Hmmn... okidoke then." She formed a ram hand seal and focused chakra into her closed eyes, "Byakugan!" Kotori reopened her eyes with veins disappearing to the sides of her face behind her bangs. The whole village became visible to her, inside and out. "Oh. Oh? OH! OH EWWWWW!!!" She quickly deactivated her dojutsu after getting several eye-fulls of scenes she wasn't emotionally or mentally braced for. "Gross." Kotori muttered while covering her eyes for a moment. She shook her head then looked back to the others, "There... was a priest-looking guy further in with a bunch of angry people. Just normal but mad people. Pretty sure that's the mission objective?" She'd wait for a consensus and for anyone to come up with a strategy. Now that Kotori saw them, she was pretty sure that none of them seemed like they'd give any trouble to fight. Most of the people were actually just normal civilians.

Roku followed closely behind Kotori as they came closer to the village. The teen was able to sense around pretty much the entirety of the village much like Kotori could with her Byakugan. His eyes moved over to Kotori as she deactivated her byakugan after seeing something she apparently didn't want to see. Kotori mentioned a priest looking guy. "Hmm. He may be the mission objective however, I feel that whoever is instigating the riots is likely within the crowd itself. It's likely the priest is just speaking for his people." Roku would say to her, not really sure himself. Roku looked towards the others in the group. "Would anybody mind me putting a tattoo on you? It'll allow us all to remain linked telepathically as well as allow us to share our chakra and resources if we need to. The tattoo can look however you like and I can take it off painlessly at the end of the mission." The teen figured this was a good idea seeing as some of the group had little to chakra and it would help the healers keep healing. It also allowed him to do other things but, he hoped it wouldn't come to that as he didn't want to fight anyone if he didn't need to.

|
Seika would arrive behind Kotori two time over has on the way she summoned up a shadow clone for extra hands if needed, she intended to have it assist herself or Inohachi when needed and had made it her pack mule considering the mass of things stored in her backpack. She made sure to stay closer to the back of the group with her produced doppelgänger, she was contemplating a suggestion but Roku brought up a very useful idea for more than one reason in her opinion. The first reason was of coarse that it was an extremely efficient idea tactically speaking, secondly this meant she could get a free tattoo! Making her clone turn about and fishing around until she found a drawing pad and flicking through its pages until she found the one she searched for and then removing a pendant and popping it open and showing the contents to Roku ”See the face of the boy there? Can you put that with the numbers I’ve drawn here underneath it on my upper forearm on the left!!!!” She instructed him excitedly as she brandished the two references in front of him before turning her outward thoughts towards work. ”The instigators could be in the crowd but this has been going on for a bit so the priest might be in cahoots with the actual rabble rousers. So ‘m going to propose an initial approach considering the technique that Roku mention being very very useful we should all accept his offer as it will be helpful.”She said as she repositioned her glasses securely with a finger.
”So I have a very reliable stealth technique so what I can do is enter the town without notice or send my clone to and go find out what the preacher is even saying so we can gauge how he affecting things. Depending on if he seems to be making this worse or trying to simply help his people. Whilst I do that I can keep an eye on who in the crowd is saying what, Rokus technique will keep us in communication which is super useful and if anyone else has reliable stealth techniques they could also help suss out if any instigators are within the crowd.” She said taking a breathe and looking around to make sure everyone was following along with what she was saying, she cleared her throat, realizing f that she had just started pushing her own idea on the others but realized that she’d started now so she couldn’t just stop, so she continued from there ”Our main problem here is dealing with mob mentality, whilst our potential targets are currently anonymous, our targets being any instigators and/or rabble rousers. IF we can deal with them, we can deal with probably the biggest part of the root issue here..... But we need to be careful about how we do so, we can’t just waltz in and make ourselves obvious and make demands of them.... as the instigators or even we could turn the mob on ourselves at that point and that’ll be bad. So we should find the dissidents but also discover what the big issues are and try to change the mobs current perception of us as Konoha shinobi.. Meaning we have to keep our cool and watch what we do and say. IF we need to press someone for answers I can use genJutsu well enough to get some answers, I at least have that level of ability with illusions so no violence unless needed.... so firstly who has a mid or upper grade stealth technique and would be able to enter besides myself?” She felt anxious at this point, not wanting to find out her suggestion was stupid or seem e like a bad idea... psychology was actually the area of medicine she was trying by to get into at the hospital, resulting in her wanting she get this done with as gentle and diplomatic approach as possible to avoid unnecessary wounded.
That last thought reminded her ”Kotori! As you took a quick look, was there anyone injured and in need of immediate medical attention or with who appear to have any untreated injuries worth noting, if so where?” She asked, the other girls answer would dictate what she next commanded her clone to do, if there was people in need. Seika would slightly revise her plan but only if there was anyone in desperate need of medical aid. ”Basically if we can find someone who’s a part of the instigators, we will discreetly “borrow” them for some questions... umm anyone else got any abilities or suggestions that might help this plan work better or improve upon it or if you feel it’s just worth mentioning let me know now and I’ll modify them in if my current idea sounds like the approach we should be going with?” Were the last words she said before looking around for other opinions, hoping she didn’t come off as overcautious or as if she was stating the obvious in the eyes of the others. If in the end the group consensus was to rush in gun blazing she would comply although with the displeasure of the fact this would mean an extreme amount more work for her and Inohachi. By this point however she was lighting blushing and feeling shy, despite her straightforward and matter of fact talking manner she felt rather embarrassed to talk so openly with a group of people she’d met that day.

tab Mina felt a smile creep on her face as she watched Koroti run off with Inhachi in tow. The girl had been tense before, but seeing her training buddy be as rambunctious as usual calmed her nerves. She even let out a breath that she didn’t know she’d been holding. And it definitely wasn’t a wistful sigh as she looked at the Hyuuga as her eyes lit up, the smile on her friend’s face making the day seem a bit brighter. Wait, was now really the time for this? Mina shook her head to bring her thoughts back to earth as her face scrunched up in total concentration. Focus Mina, you’ve got a job to do. She mentally chided herself before taking a step to leave.
And falling right into the small pond Kotori had just been in. With a SPLASH Mina’s head rose from the water just at eye level, a small pattern of bubbles forming on the surface as she huffed indignantly. Mina tried to play it cool as she stepped back to dry land, but there was absolutely no coming back from that massive blunder. With a long sigh steam started to rise from Mina’s body as she used her chakra to dry herself off. At least she could make it look nothing had happened. The Genin had just hoped that no-one was around to watch her. Hopes that were quickly dashed as soon as Seika started to talk. “Yeah, that’d be fun!” Mina beamed at the medic, internally relieved that she didn’t comment on her fall. “My other friends are big into sports. Except Kotori, but she doesn’t play so uch as she just hits the ball as hard as she can.” Mina graciously took the snacks as the two started to discuss basketball, also going through the motions to the guards on her way out.
After just a few minutes of travel, Mina also managed to find her way to the goal: New Verales. The Genin tried her best to keep her and her squad out of sight of the one guard, which didn’t seem too difficult as it looked (and sounded) like he was sleeping. Mina took a step up next to Kotori while the Hyuuga tried to spy into the village, but failed due to some traumatic vision no doubt. Mina wanted to laugh but couldn’t because she had started to snack on the sports bar. The redhead looked up and around the rooftops of the buildings, the energy bar Seika had given her half unwrapped and hanging from her mouth. A muffled “hmmmmmm” escaped past the sports snack as Mina put her hands on her hips. While everyone started to talk, Mina was piecing together a few more pieces of information.
New Varles was way outside of Lahil’s influence, and being that the five of them were Genin, Mina doubted they’d be recognized out here. Going in stealthily was an option, but that probably just meant not going in all at once. But even with telepathy, they’d need some kind of way to keep watch. From this one spot, Mina didn’t want to rely on just the Byakugan for lookouts. Mina’s eyes narrowed when she spotted some birds sitting on top of one of the gates. To anyone near her, they would hear muffled talking as Mina spoke out loud to herself through the protein bar. Without really looking down, Mina untied her headband from her neck, her Dormant Forbidden Seal visible in the left curve of her neck, and stuffed it into her pocket. Then she made a sign and the gourds on her hips, and her other assorted ninja gear, poofed into a cloud of smoke as she sealed them away with Lightning Sealing; sealing them away into her clothes.
“It might be worth it for us to do some scouting inside, too.” She said as she turned to the group. “If we split up, I think people would be less suspicious of us ‘cause we won’t be a weird group of five coming in all at once. Since Seika is volunteering, I think I should go with her. That’d leave one Taijutsu specialist for each group. If Seika and I went in by ourselves, it’d leave Kotori to back us up with her Byakugan, who can alert us with the telepathy of Roku’s seal. And since he’d be on telepathy duty,” Mina turned to Inohachi, her expression thoughtful. “Inohachi, d’you think you could mind control those birds?” She asked, pointing to what she was talking about. “It wouldn’t hurt to have a pair of eyes over the town, and you’d be able to scout more freely while the two of us can talk to people. And that way Kotori can also stay alert to protect you guys, too. Once it’s safe, we can give an all clear signal and use Roku’s telepathic link to guide you inside safely. Thoughts?”

Quote:
They arrived and Inohachi was being quiet. She was nervously looking around and seemed ready to bolt any second. She honestly looks like a nervous cat that would yowled and jump high up into the ceiling rafts, clinging onto for dear life if a vacuum had gotten out of the closet. Kotori started shouting really loudly as she did jump, the color drained from her skin as she ran up to Kotori, thinking she was in danger when really, she was fine. A soft breath of relief exhaled as she was trembling. She honestly thought that Kotori was in danger. A priest? And mob full of angry people? Inohachi was honestly a bit nervous. Why were they angry? And the scary part about being mad was that people become extremely irrational. Faster than one can blink.
The male, who she hasn't had the proper introduction yet but had rather colorful tattoos. Inohachi was in awe. Needles, despite being a medic, scared her so how did he sit there and take up all the thousand of jolting stabs into the skin? She heard that needles from medics were worst and the tattoos were nothing. Was it really true? As if the blow from earlier that they had a medic wasn't hard, Roku mentioning that he can give them 'tattoos' and have them link telepathically. Why. Why was she here? They had a medic and apparently, this male before her had the ability. As a medic Yamanaka, Inohaci was slowly seeing that she had no place here. Maybe she was meant to be here as bait? Perhaps they would throw her in first and see how the mobs would react? The medic was rather excited at the idea of tattoo and went on even in specific detail. It was as if she had this in her mind for a long time and wasn't sure if she wanted a tattoo or not. Inohachi glanced down at her ebony skin as she tried to think what kind of tattoo would look good for her. Sure enough, the medic had mentioned mob mentality as she felt herself getting smaller and smaller. She was the size of a frog by now. At least the medic offered to volunteer herself to go into the village with one other. Was she really that much of a coward that she rather send her?
What the hell was wrong with her? Mina spoke up. Another leader. Inohachi shrank into the size of a tadpole by this point. "Um." She said as she glanced towards the flock of birds. This was scary. Extremely scary. She felt her stomach going up to her throat. Her body was going to be left defenseless with Kotori and someone she doesn't know. Does she even trust them enough to protect her body? "O-Of course.. I can." She managed to get out. She wasn't going to be dead weight but the thought was terrifying. She became quiet for a moment as Roku went to work on the tattoos. With that, she sat down on the ground in front of the tree. Her eyes were focused on the bird as she did the handseals. Her body would look like she went to sleep. The bird she targeted glanced around for a moment as it attempted to hop towards the group. When she got there, she moved the wings but nothing happened. Crap. This was going to take time. Rapidly and fast as she could, she tried to learn how to fly.
HOW DO YOU EVEN FLY!? With that, she started to make angry chirps sounds. With a puffed out chest, she hopped over to Ryoku and stuck out her leg for him to place a tattoo on it. Maybe he could do something that won't notice, like a mole. Or freckle. Once he was done, Inohachi went back to hard at work. Finally, she was able to fly slightly and went up to a tree branch and didn't get the landing quite right as she divebombed into the ground. With a pained squawk, the bird hobbled right back up and tried again.

Even before the team of ninja had entered the tattered shantytown they were beset by numerous dirty looks from those passersby. Clothing, the way they talked, moved, it wasn't hard to pin them as outsiders and outsiders could only mean one. No one came to New Verales because they wanted to, this was a place for those at their lowest point after all. For anyone else? Well, it was obvious to everyone except maybe those in the group themselves that their actions must have finally caught the eye of those in the village.
Deeper and deeper down the dirt path leading passed rotted wood doorways and cloth tents, the depression of the town hung heavy in the air, the collective mood of its residents clawed at its visitors to try and pull them down permanently into its clutches, and yet... there was always something else, a seed a hope chanted in unison by a chorus of souls. A quick investigation by either another use of Byakugan or traveling into the center of the town itself would bring to light its origin. A crowd of the indigent and destitute, all gathered around a single man. A warm smile on his face as he spoke with arms outstretched, arms that were paled by countless scars. "Good people! Please, do not push your brothers and sisters! I have brought enough for all." Evidently, the team of Konoha shinobi must have caught the man at the tail end of his speech.
Current Public Opinion: 25 // 100
(Every action and word that you say out loud will have an impact on how the town sees you. If it ever drops to 0 you will automatically start the failed mission chain and everyone in the town will turn hostile towards you. Increase it to 100 however, and you will have successfully quelled the mob).

__ Kotori first looked up at Roku who was first to reply to her initial scouting report. It was an interesting thought. 'Hm... could that be it? If the priest is just helping then where are the riots?' Now that she recalled, Kotori realized that she didn't actually read the details on the mission scroll which called her to meet everyone at the gates. She only read the part about having a mission and where to go for it at the end. Slightly, Kotori's head hung and she thought, 'Kotori could punch herself at times like this!' There was a pause in her thoughts and then another something clicked into place, 'Oh wait! Kotori can punch herself!' Kotori motioned to form the hand seal to create a shadow clone of her own while Seika was asking for her tattoo then assessed the situation a little herself. In fact, the Shadow Clone was formed while Seika proposed a strategy. Kotori and her clone were standing off against each other, both easily within arm's reach of each other while all the others were discussing among themselves. Kotori wasn't even going to pretend she had a thought-out way of approaching the matter. In fact, her plan would be way, way, waaaaay simpler and more straightforward. Kotori and her clone heard something about a mob, finding a root issue and then they zoned out at the part about using genjutsu to do things too.
Just as they were winding back to see who would hit the other first, Seika yelled their name and they paused. Both Kotori blinked out of surprise at the pink-haired medic and tuned back into the conversation to process the question. "Needs medical attention?" Kotori said, and her clone added, "Untreated injuries?" Since she only spent a few moments to actually look around and focused on where the people were gathered around the priest, she only saw a few other things. "Hmm..." Both of her thought very carefully like one would try to remember the places of face-down cards in a game of matching. Seika suggested borrowing someone from over there to get some answers to their question and both Kotori exchanged another glance at each other. There were cogs turning up in there, that was for sure. You might've even smelled a little smoke too, though. Then again, that could have just been Mina while she was sealing away her combat equipment to take on a more incognito appearance. Mina's suggestion was smart too. However, Kotori could feel a sort of boredom already taking root in her to follow the suggestion. Both of her had more or less given up on punishing each other for now, but a new idea had come to mind which they were both pretty in sync for.
One of her hung back with the rest of the group while the other simply vanished into thin air via the wind element shunshin technique. The Kotori that stayed back wouldn't reveal what she was up to, but she probably should. Instead, she just stood there with a rather simple smile on her face. Kotori appeared beside the priest faster than any of the present impoverished, hungry, sickly and/or other common rabble could probably blink. It was like she was already there, but obviously they'd all be able to tell she had not been. "Excuse me mister! If I give you all my snacks, can you tell me what is going on around here?" As she made this request, Kotori presented a pile of various strawberry flavored treats and snacks that she couldn't easily balance in her arms. In fact, she lost her balance and accidentally threw the lot of them into the crowd. "Oops! Haha!" She laughed while sitting on the stage where the priest had been. Her Konoha headband was plainly visible on her forehead as she rubbed her derriere then stood back up. "Oh well! Go ahead and keep those everyone! Try to share with each other!" It was probable that the sudden food supply was going to cause a stir- as if her appearance and broadcasted relation to Konoha hadn't already. Kotori wasn't worried, though. She just looked back to the priest and asked again, "Sorry for interrupting. Can you still tell me what is going on here? I can give you more." She gave him a beaming, naive smile then awaited a hopefully amicable reply. She wasn't offering the most nutritious food, but it was food that these poor folk didn't have beforehand.

tabOne Kotori. The perfect amount of Kotori’s for the redheaded Genin.
“Pffffttt.” Mina’s cheeks puffed and a couple of tears formed from her eyes as she tried to suppress her laughter. Watching Inohachi be indignant, first, was something the redhead had never seen before. Normally such an act outside of her usual timidness would worry Mina, but the fact that she was a small bird made it hilarious. The Genin covered her mouth with her hand and turned away so her friend wouldn’t see her body trembling as she got her laughing fit under control. Without trying to hurt Inohachi’s feelings Mina looked around a little more. New Verales was definitely destitute, it made her wonder what the Old Verales was like. Was it worse? Better, and this version was still recovering? It was hard to say.
Two Kotoris. Not that Mina was complaining about that, but it was definitely a weird thing for her friend to do. The redhead kept her focus on the hyperactive ball of yellow because someone, somewhere, had asked her an important question. And Mina was interested in the answer. But her focus lingered for just a second longer once it was evident Kotori didn’t know the answer. It was her turn for a tattoo anyway. Something quick and easy on the back of her hand, maybe. While Roku performed his magic, Mina looked fondly over at SparrowHachi. “Keep it up, Eights, you’re doing great.” She called over. The usually scared to try Inohachi was doing her best and it made Mina proud of her. Everyone, for that matter, seemed to be doing their best. Mina was even surprised at how diligently Kotori was not blowing their cover.
One Kotori. That was weird. Mina had looked to compliment her also, but saw that one of them was no longer there. But she hadn’t heard the familiar sound of a clone dispersing. The girl froze and it was very evident that some kind of gears were turning in her head, but gears that hadn’t been used in ages and making slow progress. Then, as she really focused in on the expression of the present Kotori, it finally occurred to Mina what the problem was.
“Damn it! Kotori!” She yelled before she also bolted into the town at her full speed without another word. The emotion Mina was feeling was complicated. If she had to place it, it was somewhere along the lines of panic, but combined with that feeling that pet owners get when their beloved creature was eating something it shouldn’t. Without any type of sensory jutsu or doujutsu, Mina would have no idea where her friend would be. And, for better or for worse, Kotori had a one track mind with a penchant for chaos.
Mina turned a corner once inside the town proper, her head wildly swiveling around as she looked for her friend. “Kotori?” She yelled, cover be damned. She slowed her run down to a brisk walk so she could see better. And something did catch the Genin’s eye, but it wasn’t what she was looking for. The crowd in the alley was small, but still obstructed the details of what she could see, but Mina caught sight of something she hadn’t seen in a long time: long, wavy locks that were as pink as the spring cherry blossoms. As soon as she saw it, everything in Mina’s world went black and white except for those locks of hair as they faded away into the crowd.
It forced Mina into a hard stop. That hair seemed… familiar. The girl couldn’t place it, but she remembered it from somewhere. She could feel the answer tugging at the back of her mind, as if it were fighting to escape. She didn’t realize it, but Mina was trembling and her heart rate was accelerating.
Ranmaru sighed as Jyn asked why the ninja have not often seen the yokai. "That's a bit... complicated to answer." He said with a disgruntled shake of his head. "It would be easier to explain at your base of operations to be sure. As two major descendants, Sumire and I are expected to be representatives to the will of the samurai, while Seishirō served as our former squad leader and our retainer. It is our duty to explain to your... Uzukage I think you call them?" He paused as he was unsure of the terminology ninja used. In the samurai kingdom the society was ruled by the five major clans, where one clan every hundred years took over as the head faction. "Whatever it is you call them, the urgent danger that the ninja world will shortly find themselves in, unless we act quickly. We will gladly follow you back to your village. Since you were the first ninja we met on our voyage, I assure that you will be present for the historic negotiations." He said, assuming that the commoner would find great honor in being part of such a landmark breakthrough.
