Well, the circumstances appeared to have escalated rather sooner than expected. With little room to even consider throwing up a decline, Unki felt bound to answer the woman's desperate cry and assist in the rescue a child. After taking a glance to Shiro, she would speak: โIโll stand ready and assist with the net in the meantime.โ Unki would then break from Shiroโs side and trails behind the woman to along the river. The someone in question holding the child hostage was a sour looking brute who was clearly disorderly and busy shouting obscenities.
"Good thinking on the net if sheโs thrown in! I am a pretty good swimmer too- used to dive- and I can jump in if need be.โ The girl would grab the other end of the net and help stretch the net to itโs fullest extent. It wasnโt anything extravagant but she felt being there and ready to leap on the fly placed a positive imprint itself. There was another who was making the stride to help the girl, but should they fail, there was still herself and Shiro to try to help.

The crowd was getting thicker by the minute, and it seemed that no one was responding very well to the crazy man's tactics. The situation was tense, to say the least, but that tension was broken when the little girl pulled off one of her shoes and whacked Chet with it using all the might her tiny, terrified body could muster. It wouldn't hurt, for sure, but it smelled like a filthy boat and foot fungus and was probably really dirty.
Now, the adults in the area were probably a bit more desperate than they were letting on, because as soon as that tiny shoe hit Chet, half a dozen weighted fishing nets were thrown at and around him. They weren't trying to hurt him, at least, but who knew what he would see.

"Dunno how far out, but Wata's probably the best man for the job if you're lookin' to go. He's a chipper lad, he is. Likes to hang out on his boat down at the docks. Now what is all that racket...?"
It seemed like most of the village was now gathering around a section of the river, where a delusional young man was holding a small child hostage. The situation was getting dire.

The boat swayed under the weight of Wata's crew--two each of the strongest men and women he knew--and their armaments, including nets, harpoons, enormous cages, and a phenomenal amount of rope. There would be little space for the shinobi to sit in such cramped conditions, and the trip was likely to be rough. If either of them needed to do something before departure, this would be the time. Just as they were about to shove off, Wata would perk up and look toward shore.
"You forgot one of your pals," he'd scold them before calling out to the new arrival.

The lady Shinji accosted seemed to be in a hurry to get to the river area, but stopped just enough to solve his problem.
"Oi, Wata!" she shouted, spinning the boy around to face the docks and pointing at a ship that seemed about ready to disembark. He seemed to notice and stalled the vessel in response, prompting the woman to shove Shinji toward the boat. "Run, kid!"
It seemed like Wata, his crew, and a conspicuous teenage couple were in the middle of shoving off. If he ran, he could make it in time to join them.
Indefatigable Interloper
Sho seemed momentarily taken aback by how well this customer was keeping up with her, then started ranting in tandem, filling the shop with a wall of disgruntled words. Hammers in the sky, strange balls that got bigger as they rolled over things, boomsticks, omnicidal d8 dice, vile mathematical representations of probabilistic effects at a subatomic level, and castle-dwelling men who had truly the fiercest batch of insults possible for random gaggles of knights, all were topics of "conversation" that the woman pulled out faster than a Speed Release auctioneer.
"Gimme250Ryou," she demanded after glancing over the pile of groceries. The sum was slightly less than what the price tags had read, though that could have simply been the woman's poor memory showing.
Hurrak
"You and me both," the woman responded to the diver comment, making what in any other situation would be friendly banter. Her voice was grave, though, and her expression stone cold.
The brute seemed to be getting even more agitated, and almost the entire village had poured itself into the area. Then all hell broke loose when the hostage winged her shoe at the crazed aggressor. That was followed by a hailstorm of nets being tossed by fishermen.
"Get ready!" the woman told Unki, lowering her end of the net down into the river. Her footing was a bit shaky, but she had her eyes on the girl and wasn't taking them off.

Jay bowed in thanks to the man for his information. "I appreciate the information, sir. If I find myself back out this way ill be sure to stop by!" He turned and left the room just in time to see nets flying towards Chet. With some frustration in his eyes he had a decision to make. Either he could ignore the current situation and go towards where the man had said he could find Wata, or he could go and see about helping with the intense situation. There were nets involved though and lots of water. Lucky for the people Jay and Jeon were also well versed in the way of the water. Where they're from there are lots of still water and rivers, deep and shallow, babbling and roaring. Jeon chimed in as he started moving towards the dock and, instead of continuing, he puffed a bit of hot air from his nostrils and altered his course, now standing on the water just barely in range to run and deliver a powerful flying knee as soon as he saw the little girl was free from the madman... who didn't look too much older than they were. He was also now in sight range of his squadmate, and he gave a nod towards them.

Shinji took off once he was thrusted in the right direction, speed being his field of expertise shown as he practically leapt to the ship as fast as possible.
In a flash he waa on board, out of breath but on time at last.
Enter from [โ] || Rising Tower || .:Academy | Dojo:.
Xion arrived at the exams at her own pace. Many had walked right in. That was the fastest way. Xion, however, hadโฆ gotten lost on her way to the exam location. She was well traveled, but not much of it was to an actual destination. Getting lost was the norm for her. Good thing, though, was that getting lost was the norm for her, so she knew how to remain calm and carry on. Despite ending up in a different town, she managed to this town by the good graces of a friendly fisherman in said different town who pitied the blind girl. He took her to the town she was actually supposed to be on his boat and the two parted in good cheer after the simple but pleasant conversation they had together during the trip.
Upon finding herself back on solid ground, Xion's first order of business was to find a corner of the docks where she would be left unbothered. She pulled out her trusty can to navigate the treacherously unfamiliar landscape and found herself a place that seemed like it would work: between recently emptied crates that no one was bother to move yet. Sure, it smelled very fish, literally, as the crates had been holding fish, but she was unbothered by it. It was sort of like how she was unbothered by being in a completely unfamiliar location. Yeah, she knew it was a disadvantage, but she didn't care enough to be scared or disgusted.
After having found herself a nice corner to concentrate in, Xion brought her hands together. Thisโฆ the place where she was dropped off in was clearly a fishing village and not a location dedicated to the chuunin exams. That much was obvious just from the conversation she had with the fisherman as well as the snippets she heard from the people milling about on the docks. How strange that was considering that she hadn't been given any further directions to more specifically locate the test location. Something suspicious was going on hereโฆ or maybe it was intentional. Xion couldn't tell, so when in doubt, she tried to sense her way to the answer. Her hands flashed through the seals for a sensory technique known as the mind's eye. What she searched for? She did not know. Maybe something regarding a large mass of chakra? It wasn't likely that this simple little village naturally had large chakra signatures, so any large chakra sources would be unnatural; therefore, suspicious; therefore, possibly a hint. She was honestly sort of winging this.
The least that could be said about Xion's winging it, though, was that she was doing it smartly (for once). She did not go all out with her sensory technique, using its lowest setting, and even at that it was a whopping 8km range of detailed chakra sensoryโฆ At least, it should have been. Xion did a double take when she could not manage to exceed a sensory distance of what felt like around 100m, . She held the shortened sensory range as she performed a quick pat down and felt her distinct clothes--a maid uniform--to confirm that she had not changed bodies. Well. This is this, I guess. No helping it. How strange, though,> came her perhaps too lax reply as she worked with what she had. Her chakra senses extended a mere 100m, but maybe there was a clue within those hundred meters?
I am tied to...
Normal connection Custom connection
My chakra is at...555 / 560 My stamina is at...75 / 75
The things I do with thinking are...
Kagura Shingan [ Kagura Mind's Eye ] E [ Official Description: Kagura Shingan is a Ninjutsu technique used by Sound Shinobi Karin. Using her innate ability to sense Chakra, Karin can determine the location of her opponent, the size of an approaching unseen force and their Chakra capacity. ] [ Guild Description: See official description. User must remain still for one full post before technique takes effect. Starting at two [2] kilometers at E-rank, range is increased by two [2] kilometers per rank. Information gained from technique is fairly vague and limited to location and chakra capacity unless the user has the Resolution discipline, in which more detailed information such as elemental affinities or bloodline can be determined. Technique remains active until the user moves. ]
The things I do without thinking are...
Specialist Medical [ The user, choosing to specialize in healing medical techniques, gains a great boost to their chakra control in that area. At Chunnin, they gain a -5 chakra reduction to perform techniques in their specialty. at Jounin, -10, at Konin -15 at Sannin -20. To clarify, they they gain a -5 chakra reduction every rank, to a maximum of -20 at sannin. All medical jutsu are still learnable by both sides, but the chakra control only applies to the chosen side. ]
Zoom Sensor [ The user has a vast eye, able to quadruple the range of a given sensory technique, often allowing them to sense things even outside of the given area (across threads). This vast range, however, makes it difficult to detect fine details. The user is only able to know that chakra is there, or that chakra is being activated. Things like type of technique, rank, element, ect, are unknown to the user. ]
Blind Resolution Personal Attribute [ Xion was born blind, a curse placed upon her for her parents' faults. For that reason, she will never experience sight. No ocular implant can restore her vision and even genjutsu cannot imitate the sensation of sight for her. In exchange, being blind has rewired Xion's brain to enhance her other senses, primarily the ability for her hearing and chakra sensing to pick out minute details (but not necessarily an increase in what both senses pick up) but also her smell and even touch to gather what little details they can. Using very basic echolocation mixed in with other minute details like the feel of the air on her skin, Xion has a rough idea of her surroundings up to 5 meters away; e.g. enough to pick out someone/thing rushing to her but not enough to understand the details of the approach beyond size, general shape, distance, and direction. Furthermore, she gains the Resolution sensor class discipline, overwriting the limits of resolution and zoom (if she has both) for their strengths. ] Live to Serve Personal Attribute [ Even compared to other Miyamoto clan members, Xion has a terrible body for combat. On top of the fortitude decrease from her bloodline, she also has a moderate physical strength decrease. However, where she lacks physically, she makes up for spiritually. All of Xion's Seirei no Hogosha ability increasing techniques are a limit-breaking moderately more potent. ]
Mukei Enko [ Spiritual Connection ] E // Seirei no Hogosha [ The most basic technique of the Miyamoto clan in which all other techniques are derived and operated. Through a whim and moment of physical contact, the user creates a connection between themselves and the subject. This connection is the Miyamoto tactic; it opens a gate to healing, strengthening, and many other benefits that cannot be brought out by one person alone. Once a bond is formed, a tie with no true physical form is created between the parties. It cannot be seen or severed without special and specific means. This connection can, however, be broken if the user runs out of chakra, becomes unconscious, or the connected party leaves the general vicinity. ( Any form of skin-to-skin contact while using the technique forms a connection. Additionally, a willing target can have this connection created through any form of contact, even through clothing. ) โข Maximum Links Per Individual: [2] โข Maximum connection range: Two Miles โข As you rank up, your connections will receive added benifits, connections are limitless, but be aware each connection will drain an E-ranks worth of chakra until your body has grown accustom to the clans techniques and be also aware that this stacks on top of [Mukei Enchou] extensions. As your body hones itself you'll find that you'll be able to distribute and handle as many links as you desire without it being as mentally draining.
Genin: No reduction to channeling costs. The cost of channeled Eiseijutsu is [Rank Multiplied by # of Recipients.] Chunin - Jounin: Reduces the amount of chakra required to sustain established links by half. [Excluding Extensions] The cost channeled Eiseijutsu is [Rank Multiplied by # of Recipients.] Konin - Sannin: No chakra is required to sustain established links [Excluding Extensions]. The cost of channeled Eiseijutsu is [Rank Multiplied by # of Recipients.] ]
Mukei Nokori [ Spiritual Residue ] Training :: Trained as C // Seirei no Hogosha [ As ability increasing techniques are continuously performed, the effects of those techniques seem to begin to last longer- though at a reduced potency. ( After an ability increasing techniqueโs duration ends, its effects continue for two [2] additional posts at 50% potency.) ]
เนเนเนเนThe boy who hopped onto the ship Wata pointed at and mentioned something about. Staring blankly at him, blinking twice within the exchange of glances Hideo looked back at Wata and then at the boy. He had no visible village headband on, and Hideo had promised a troupe of shinobi and shinobi only as his escort out to sea. If the boy was honest with himself, it didn't hurt to have an extra shinobi on hand. He didn't have to risk either of their lives, and could focus more on reconnaissance work for him and who he was with. Staring at the boy Hideo said aloud, "I'm sorry Wata, it's just me and the girl. Unless my village sent another ninja I didn't know about."
There was an air of silence as Hideo turned to look towards the boy. It wasn't that he would dispute the other genin being on the vessel, however he did indeed speculate enough to force the boy to show his headband as Hideo had already agreed to a shinobi escort and nothing less. It would have been odd for him to bring anyone else otherwise. He forced the newcomer into an awkward situation, and it seemed only appropriate for him to introduce himself and prove he was indeed a ninja.

Shinji gave the group a smile and reached into his back satchel. From it he pulled out his head band and put it on his shoulder. It showed he was from the sound village, a single note in the center of the metal.
"That'd be because I'm from sound. Only one that I know of as well. Don't want to cause any trouble either, been running all over the place trying to find out where this island might be. Sorry to jump on board like this sir but if you have enough room I'd like to come with you. I can provide any help you'd like in exchange for a ride"
The last part was of course directed at the ships owner Wata, a respectful bow following the apology. Hopefully this wasn't a false lead but it was better then standing around wandering in circles in his mind at least. If the other pair of shinobi tried to read him Shinji seemed quite genuine with his statement, and well his clothing didn't give away his expertise a careful eye would spot his conditioning. He had made it to the ship surprisingly fast and his hands showed lots of signs of sparring and scrapping in the past. Putting two and two together could lead to an assumption he was either a taijutsu practitioner or someone who really liked to fight.
For the most part since having arrived in the village, Shiro simply followed Unki's lead on this one. This was a fishing village and she was from a fishing village so, to him, if anyone of the two had a better chance of spotting something off it was definitely her. However he certainly wasn't going to leave this one all up to her. Pulling his hood up over his face he pulled his left hand into the sleeve of his jacket and formed the seal. Remaining where he stood his vision expanded all around him until it hit the edge of the village. Interesting that his view was limited to the village. So while the others attended to the situation before him, he concentrated his efforts on finding their true location. First turning his attention to the village as a whole. There was no way in hell that this village would be able to host something like this but then again that was a known fact. Next he turned his attention to the various groups of ninja wandering around the village and their dealings with the villagers. Most were doing their own thing but two of them he chose to focus on. The two in question were getting back onto a boat... why would they get onto a boat unless they were going somewhere? Did they know the location of the exams? They couldnt be giving up, not this early.. They had to know. Severing the flow of chakra he smirked a bit,"Pain in my a** numbers one and two! Mermaid. I know the rally point."
Upon arrival, Hatsu would thank the ferryman for the ride, and make her way to the location. Something was off, however, as there wasn't any sort of large structure in sight but rather just a small outpost that seemed to be manned by a lone villager. Upon seeing her cloud headband, the villager would hand her a letter, explaining the mistakes that were made. "Well, that's not good." Turning to the villager who handed her the letter, she would grab his attention. "You wouldn't happen to know where the Chuunin Exams are taking place, would you?"

Tsumetai [ Cold to the Touch ]: The skin of each Shinsetsu clan member is chilled; producing a refreshing, almost intoxicating aura. This aura does not stretch far from one's person, and only the Shinsetsu and those in direct contact with him/her can truly appreciate the feeling. Because of this attribute, humidity is a foreign concept to the Shinsetsu, and only the most extreme of heats will cause those within tsumetai's effect to break a sweat. Additionally, this consistent cold has weathered their skin and innards, providing an internal and external resistance to freezing temperatures. Although not exactly topical, it should be noted that thanks to their relaxing aura, the Shinsetsu are considered some of the most desirable lovers in the world.

Kisuke continued walking with the mountain men."Oh really? sounds tough to catch...Is there a specific area you guys go to to hunt? Or are they all like that." Kisuke walked slowly as if he was searching for a table as he heard some noise over his radio that was connected to Fang."There's supposedly an island that has cropped up offshore. Fisherman Wata agreed to take us out to catch shrimp in exchange for our help as shinobi, apparently the men are too scared of some of the things they've seen out there to venture any farther out to sea and therefore closer to the island without any muscle so I had to let them know we could handle it. I'm thinking that island might be where we need to go, but we've gotta get close enough to do some recon work on it. One more thing, don't be alarmed, but you have a chakra string attached to you." Island? recently cropped up? They could have created the island using doton jutsu and then begun construction. Is that why Fang picked up the freshly churned earth smell? It seemed his information and this new information lined up pretty well. Kisuke choose a table and had the guys sit down as he excused himself."Alright, it seems to be a rumor but matches up with everything else. You should return fang we will figure something out with the island later." There was a a short pause for a response."What do you mean your already on the boat!?!?!"Fang confirmed being on the boat and then mentioned that the person they are meeting is actually a dude and smells like ramen.
Fang followed the duo as one of them stopped to stare at him, he then petted fang. This place was pretty nice everyone was petting him even a random boy came to pet him. Fang was very well behaved and allowed all to pet him. Fang stopped at the edge of the dock before getting on the boat. He probably shouldn't go with them. Since he really didn't know where they were going. Then the boy with the white eyes turned to him and spoke. Oh s**t, he said it. It actually said it. He said the word "treat" That got fang excited as he also jumped on the boat. He made sure to step onto the boat with his right foot and not his left. Fang looked over at the captain Wata, he gave him a small bark. Basically asking permission to stay aboard. It was still his ship. Fang then turned his head and face the village. He let a a mixture of low whines and growls with some small barks inbetween. It sounded like he was...talking? But to who? He was just staring out at the open sea. He then stared back at the crew. It now appeared it was three genin and a doggo.
Blam. 250 Ryo was slapped on to the counter unceremoniously, which seemed a pretty good price that she had no concept of Ryo at all. Heck, even a million Interstellar Credits was chump change, so who knew anymore. Keeping the bottle tucked betwixt her pillows she scooped up the packs of noodles and made her way out of the shop and on to the streets, armed with some clues and a means to get her way. Just according to keikaku*. There was a visible and audible commotion just up the street, which Shiori was going to stay far the ******** away from. Yeah, this chef carried a sword, but that was for decoration, much like milk chocolate Miltons, so she wasn't getting involved. A large number of ninjas seemed to be heading toward the docks, so they either knew something she didn't, or they were all gullible as heck. She'd make her way back to the inn, flapping her hand at Yado and heading on back into the kitchen at the back of the inn.
First thing was to get this place in some kind of working order, so she set about tearing about the drawers and cabinets to find literally every item Yado had described to her. Every utensil and piece of cookware was dropped into the sink and was doused in warm water, soap being added by hand. She'd have to personally be sure that every knife and pot was clean, because if not, something bad might happen, so dishwasher she was, rinsing everything off she intended to use. Having everything cleaned, she left the water running when she moved on. [1/3]
Next was the dust. DUST. It looked like a Battlefield game up in here. All of the counters and surfaces she was going to use were being wiped down with that wet soapy cloth. She'd be able to use them to cut and chop on, and in general get messy without having to waste more time on cutting boards and preparatory pans n such. Besides, if she was going to poison people, she'd rather make sure she did it on purpose and not accidentally. So burners were cleaned, grill irons wiped off, and surfaces brushed off. [2/3]
The final bit to getting this kitchen started was drying off an setting out all of the pans and pots and such. Knives laid on cutting surfaces while a pot was filled with clean water and set on the burner to boil. Some smaller cups and bowls were taken down and set aside, to be used for mixing and storing and stirring and the like. She held the knives up to her face, inspecting the blades, and deemed them adequate. Her work space was clean and prepared. Now all that damned chopping and cutting was to come. [Kitchen Preparation: Complete]
The eggs that Shiori had available were dropped into the small pot as it was beginning to boil, not having yet mastered just how much time it took to get the eggs just right. Generally once the water started to boil, the eggs were done. Putting some of the water into the wok, she'd open up and drop the noodles in, letting those heat up and soften. It was just now she realized she had no vegetables or stock, so that meant her ramen would be lacking. What even was broth? [1/4]
Well, it had to be made, so she'd figure out some sort of substitute without the veggies. They'd go to waste anyway if google was to be believed. The large pot was filled with a bit of water, followed by a menagerie of spices and seasonings. Shiori cut the chicken as best she could into strips, then started picking the bones out of it, dropping all those into the pot itself to boil. Maybe she was supposed to drain the fat after cooking first, but with a lack of carrots, this would have to be enough. [2/4]
But hey, it didn't need to be all ramen, right? Shiori had more chicken, so she'd start to cleave and carve more mean from the bone, dropping the latter into the pot. The idle bowl would see the eggs cracked into it, and some of the spices and pepper dumped in with it. A second bowl had flour poured in, just by itself. Her bottle of sake was set aside next to the pan, which was heated up to a low heat, all ready for some simple breaded and booze grilled chicken. [3/4]
Lastly, what should she do with the fish that these people hadn't eaten a million different times or ways before? Just encase, she snatched and twirled a knife and cut the heads off the fish, dumping that in the trash. Next, came the tails, which were also dumped into the trash. The knife ran along their stomach, carving into side the cavity to remove the organs and other garbage she wasn't about to serve, and as much of the skeleton as she could removed. The scales were peeled away in a few quick strokes, taking the outer layers of skin with it, but enough enough so the meat ended up mush. [Food Preparation: Complete]
What everyone was shitting their pants over, Ramen. That was going to be easy. Already, the eggs were good and prepared. Boiled hard on the white, but nice and runny on the yellow inside. Cursing, she plucked the eggs from the near boiling water and set them down. She had enough faux chicken broth for a single, albeit large, bowl , so she used a clean, thin cloth to drain the bones and meat bits from it into the bowl she was going to serve with. The larger portions of meat were saved. [1/3]
The now soft noodles were scooped with with a spatula and dropped into the serving bowl. Half of what she'd seen the chefs at Ichiraku do was all about presentation. Their food was great, but not orgasmic. The noodles were stirred to absorb a bit of flavor from the stock, layered over one another. The saved boiled chicken was placed on top of it, side by side in layers. Hell, a little bit of fish meat was tossed in to give it something else to taste like, but in the time it took for the warm water to cook the fish, it'd taste like chicken anyways. [2/3]
Last bit was the eggs, which should have cooled down a bit by now. Shiori gently cracked the outside of the shells with a fork, then began to gently peel away the shell and outermost membrane. If she did it right, which was never, it would come off easily enough, but it was not to be. Dozens of small bits littered the counter. Keeping the egg in one hand she used a knife and split it in two halves, relaxing her fist and letting them land yolk up int he bowl, floating around all runny and nice. A bit of salt sprinkled over and the chicken ramen was finished. [Special - Actual Cooking (E): Complete]
The middle dish was going to be more of an experiment. Yes, and she was ready to take down some notes on this one. She uncorked the bottle of sake, and poured some of that in a pan along with a bit of the chicken broth she'd made, letting that warm up. She was not about to try this stuff, since it looked and smelled like rocket fuel. As long as it was a high temperature without boiling, she put a lid over the pan to come back to it. [1/3]
The messy part came next, grabbing the raw length of chicken and dousing them in the raw eggs that she took a minute to whisk up with spices and booze beforehand. Yes, this attack was going to be twofold, and look obscenely American. Once each strip was covered in egg, it was rolled around in the flour as a cheap breading, Shiori repeating this process a few more times for each strip, and setting those aside as well to make sure they didn't drip. It certainly reeked of booze now, but cooking it would change that. [2/3]
Well, not really. Dropping the breaded chicken into the hot pan of broth and rice wine, her intent was to fry it up just enough to look gold on the outside, but be partially cooked on the inside, which should soak up enough of the cheap and potent sake in the meat and breading to create a food that would give food and alcohol poisoning. The sizzling from the dish could be heard even in the foyer of the inn, a cloud of steam burning away excess moisture, locking in the demon topping. A mental note was made on hazards to write down later. Food Poisoning: Don't cook it all the way. Alcohol: Buy some. Special - Actual Cooking (E): Complete]
Well heck, she was going to make a name for herself with ramen, so to finish off this little excursion she'd take out another bowl and dump the last of the chicken broth into it. Next came the last of the noodles, dipped gently into the broth after being shaken free of excess water. Since salt didn't make much sense to her on a fish dish, she threw another pinch of spice into the broth, over the noodles, and did her fancy layering of them with the spatula. [1/3]
The death chicken pan was washed out and set back on the burner, set as high as it could go, and the perfectly preserved and cut portions of fish were plopped into it to quickly sear, if only to get things over with on that front. It took a lot of concentration when he'd flip the filet over so it didn't break apart. At least ocean fish seemed to hold up better, because salmon just fell apart because it sucked. Thankfully, golden-brown did the meat become, and direct from the pan to the bowl did she slide the fish on to the noodles. [2/3]
Finally was the egg. Much the same as last time, she had to peel the egg's shell off and brush away the sticky bits that clung to her fingers. At least this time they weren't burning hot in her hands. Getting rid of the scraps by sliding her knife over the counter into the trash, she'd use the same dulled knife as before, as this was an egg, not dragon hide, and cut it into two halves, placing each half up in the ramen, poking them with the end of the knife so just a bit of the broth ran over the top and soaked into the runny yolk. [Special - Actual Cooking (E): Complete]
Shiori went to wash her hands, and looked about the kitchen. Her hazardous breaded chicken was wrapped in paper tightly and stuffed into her sleeve for later use. The two bowls of ramen were grabbed and rushed off to the front of the inn for Yado and Meshi. Let them try her food before she served whoever was coming over to eat."Here ya go. Try my chicken and fish ramen. Did what I could with what I had."Leaving the owning couple to sample her creations, she'd scan the others in the foyer for her target. Thankfully, he had shown up. But he was two others instead of just coming to the back to meet her. Guess he had his role to play too. Then it was time to improvise.
"Can I take your orders, boys?"She'd ask in a chipper, sing-song voice to the two sailors that Kisuke brought along with him. It didn't matter what they did order, she'd just repeat it back to them as a way of feigning that she was indeed paying attention, making sure to flash them a little cleavage by leaning at the waist even though they were taller than Shiori. When it came to Kisuke she paused and grinned at him, making to sure wink under her bangs so that from that angle, only he could see it."But you're already ready for desert, huh? What do you say? I live right upstairs..."What little she knew about tamers was they shared traits of their partners, and if she didn't smell like ramen, she didn't know what else. OK, sake and cigarettes, but not recently. She could use a smoke though. She'd giggle for effect and slink off upstairs to the room she'd rented, leaving the door ajar and standing in the corner, lighting up a cigarette to smoke while she waited.

As the woman advised, Unki would copy the act of lowering her end of the net. The villagers were rallying in numbers and nets. The weight of the nets could be enough to boggle their capture for a moment. It was the aftermath and Chet's reaction to being caught is what began to worry her. None the less, Unki was ready to do her part to safe the girl.
Another entered. Clearly, someone who was versed in the use chakra based on how they were so easily standing on the surface while Unki chose to soak her sandals in the current. A wide straw hat obscured their face but didn't obscure the nod given to Unki. Shiro called.Mermaid-? He must mean me. But "one and two"? I only see one person? A sense of relief came from the assumed knowledge of the "rally point". Seems as if turning up a little later had it's benefits.
Chakra Cost: Thoroughbred Chakra Refund: โข ; "Additionally, when you perform bloodline techniques above Rank D, you are refunded {05} chakra or {05} stamina, depending on which energy was used." = # Chakra Remain Techniques Used: โข โข โข
Oh boy, and just like that there it went. No hero moment for Raichi, all because of a retarded thing called Formless Style and it's rankings. Chet tossed Raichi like a little pillow, yessiree he did. Skadoosh. Raichi tumbled over and over before coming to a halt upside down with his a** in the air against the side of a building. He sighed. If there weren't any bystanders or innocents nearby, he would have went to give Chet a Mokuton smackdown, but he refrained himself for the people. After righting himself and getting up to his feet, the young Senju dusted himself off before shoveling his hands into his pockets and walked back over towards Chet. "Tatsu (Dragon), Tora (Tiger), Ushi (Ox), Hitsuji (Ram)," these words slipped out of the Senju's mouth as smooth as if the Devil said it himself.
With his evil incantation invoked, five thick roots sprung forth from the ground in a circle around Chet and his hostage that snapped at the air, knocking away the nets as they came close. "Listen here, how about making a deal with the Devil? Let 'er go and I'll give you what you desire.." How ironic that Raichi was playing the part of what Chet envisioned him as. Meanwhile, Kisuke seemed to be having a one-sided conversation in Raichi's ear. The earbuds were pretty useful, getting live information like that even though they were separated.

Statistics: [โข] Bloodline Specialist [Senju] [โข] 440 Chakra [โข] 340 Stamina [โข] Genin - C rank
Techniques Used: [โข] Ki Eda no Jutsu [ Tree Limb Technique ] Rank C The user summons forth five thick tree roots from the ground. These roots can then be used to shelter, shield, or impale, depending on the user's whim. Unfortunately, they don't stretch too far. [โข]
Passives: [โข] Can cast jutsu by saying or mouthing the names of the seals instead if hands are occupied. You must be able to speak the words, and your jaw/lips/tongue must be in no way impeded. This would mean that if gagged, you would still be unable to utilize the technique. Simply mouthing the words will not suffice. Keep in mind, too, that this in no way increases the number of Activations you receive per post, nor the overall speed of the techniques themselves. [โข] -20 Chakra cost for Bloodline techs to a minimum cost of 5 [โข] hen you perform bloodline techniques above Rank D, you are refunded {05} chakra or {05} stamina, depending on which energy was used. [โข] Your bloodline techniques possess greater power, allowing them to overwhelm techniques of the same rank, and preventing them from succumbing to elemental weaknesses of techniques the same rank. Can cast bloodline techniques through one-handed seals. [โข] The user becomes more accustomed to upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions. Speed of all Bukijutsu employing small arms is mildly increased. [โข] With this training, the user is able to more comfortably switch between upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions in a pinch. The user's reflexes are mildly increased. [โข] The practitioner has developed a greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the hilt with ease. Confers a slight reflex bonus to the practitioner. [โข] The practitioner has better developed their ability to pull their blade straight from its resting place to an offensive slash. Slightly increases the speed of strikes made when drawing a small weapon. [โข] The practitioner is now accustomed to performing techniques they have mastered with either one or two knives. Once per post, the user may use a single D-Rank or lower technique from this Style without paying the cost. [โข] The practitioner, already acquainted with many techniques in the style, has finally realized that with a little bit of personal training, they are able to increase the precision and speed at which they lift and press their feet. The practitioner's footsteps are rendered silent to all who do not have enhanced hearing, and the footsteps they leave in soft ground are shallow. This not only assists their ability to sneak up on people faster and quieter, but also helps when running from trackers. [โข] The practitioner has developed an even greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the tip with ease. Additionally, some projectiles, such as shuriken or kunai, can be caught by their tip. Confers a slight increase to the user's reflexes.

Wata looked between Fang, Hideo, Yuna, and Shinji, then shoved off as soon as he heard that the newcomer was from the Sound. It was all the same in his book.
"And away we go!" he exclaimed. "Welcome aboard, one and all. We're hunting prawn today. If you've got any problems with each other, save them for when we get back to shore. Play nice or the doggy will eat you for a snack."
It wasn't his dog, but it was on his boat, and as long as it stayed out of the way and away from the tackle box, he'd have no problems with it. It was less likely to cause any mischief than the shinobi, anyway, and it had a nice coat of fur to boot. Wata made a mental note to get a dog if he ever had a chance.
The town and all its commotion would fade away as Wata and his crew guided the boat out to sea. After an hour or two of traveling, one of the sailors would signal the others and they would loose the cages off the back. The rope attached thereto would quickly unspool and pull taut, then start shifting toward one side of the boat. Wata would steer the vessel so that it pointed in the opposite direction of the cages, then slow the motor. They would gradually begin to drift backward toward a dark spiral of water, a whirlpool that had been practically invisible under the light of the stars.
One of the cages would rocket up out of the water. The entire crew shouted for everyone to get down and hit the deck just before a big, meaty claw would swipe across it. The shinobi would have just enough time to duck if they were paying attention. If not, they were probably going to get walloped by a claw that could reportedly punch a hole straight through a boat. One thing was for sure: this had to end quickly, and they might not get away if it attacked again.
The claw was attached to a long, spindly arm that had emerged from almost the center of the whirlpool. At the other end of it was a massive prawn, the visible part of which was easily three meters across. If anyone had experience dealing with shellfish or other aquatic creatures--or knew of an iceberg's size distribution--they would quickly deduce that this behemoth of a prawn was probably at least ten meters long. House-sized, indeed.

Xion wasn't going crazy, or at least not crazier than anyone else who lived in that village. She would notice a cluster of individuals farther in the village, some of whom were clearly normal people and others who had undergone some sort of shinobi training. The situation seemed tense. There were various animals both on land and in the ocean, but aside from that there wasn't much odd about the town. It seemed perfectly normal, aside from the range limits it imposed on her sensory techniques. She would feel the waves lapping at the supports for the docks, smell the ocean spray, and hear the crashing of waves and the creaking of boats. She might even hear a bird flying overhead, circling the town lazily on the evening breeze.

While Shiro watched, the boat would pull out. It was too late to join in the fun, but it wouldn't look like they were headed for anything but a fishing excursion--the harpoons and fishing gear attested to that. Heck, they'd even brought a dog along, and they didn't seem the types to deliberately endanger an animal, at least not at this distance.

The villager handing out letters had changed out from earlier and was now a short middle-aged woman. She initially treated Hatsu rather dismissively, but the cool, chilly aura about the girl would make her relax a bit.
"I don't know too much, sorry," she responded with an awkward smile as she basked in the cool air. "The guy before me sounded pretty suspicious of a new place that had cropped up in the Wind Country, and I know recently there's been rumors of a stadium being carved out in a mountain in the Lightning Country. Personally, I'm more of a sailor-type, and the waves haven't been right recently. Sorry I couldn't be of more help to ya, stranger."

Doein and Zarokku Jonson looked incredibly startled when Kisuke shouted for no apparent reason, but were rather distracted when Shiori came over and started flashing her cleavage their way. They even forgot to order food, so distracted were they by this foreign beauty. Delicate as an orchid, fair as a cherry blossom, the personification of feminine grace and also, secretly, a dude. They laughed and smiled knowingly at Kisuke when she invited him up to her room.
Indefatigable Interloper
Throughout the entire cooking process, Yado and Meshi would keep poking their heads into the kitchen, as though trying to steal the secret formula to her strange comestible concoctions. They had stars in their eyes when they finally received the ramen, and it was with trembling hands and reverent gazes that they offered a prayer to the noodle gods who inhabited the broths of only the best dishes, the purest, most scrumptious meals. And then they began eating it. It was easily the best thing they'd had in a while, but as it turned out, neither of them really liked fish. Go figure.
Doein and Zarokku Jonson were all but literally drooling over Shiori's body. She was showing it off, and by god they weren't going to pass up an offer like that. They even forgot to order food, so distracted were they by this foreign beauty. Delicate as an orchid, fair as a cherry blossom, the personification of feminine grace and also, secretly, a dude.

Yuna watched as the boat started moving away from shore. "Well no point in hiding anymore." She said but it didn't seem to help as much as she though. Yuna removed her backpack and set it down, pulling out all her equipment and strapping it back to her body. The largest pieces being her sword and shield, which attached to her back waist and back. Finally she pulled out her headband and strapped it to her forehead, proudly displaying the Suna logo. "Alright lets get one thing straight." Yuna stated to the new ninja and pupper, a different tone then the love struck girl from the inn. "If we are going to work together, we are going to work together." She said emphasizing the last part again. "I got a sword, a shield, and the flames of hell themselves. When my shield is raised, trust it is in your defense. When my sword is drawn, trust it is to cut an opening for you. When my flames are raging, don't get burned." Yuna said that last part slightly taking away the serious tone of her speech. "Point is, I will pull my weight if you all do too." The girl said, though she had the frame of a teenage girl, you can tell her muscles were toned up and their was muscle behind them.
As the hours went by Yuna stood at the edge of the boat, looking over into the water. The fishing had started and it was then one of the cages rocked up and the crew shouted to hit the deck. Yuna threw herself down onto the deck on her hands and knees as the large claw swiped across. As it moved over her and away she pushed against the deck, jumping to her feet and swung her body to face the threat. She reached behind her, drawing her sword with her right hand, and shield with her left. Her stance was with her left foot point at the enemy and the right foot pointed at her allies, giving her versatility to ether guard herself or guard her team. "Everyone ok!" Yuna called out loudly among the chaos of the attack, knowing the status of the team is vital for counter measures, even one person injured could mark the end.
