Saekki gave himself a rest for a little bit. He needed to preserve his stamina if he didn't want to run low. Well, stamina and chakra. Saekki collected his thoughts and analyzed the situation at hand. [rest]
He got bored with thinking real fast, and went to destroy some more buildings. With a fluourish of sleeves and several slams of his feet, Saekki sent four waves of scrap metal shuriken flying in different directions. Each wave of C-ranked force collided into and collapsed a different building. [x4 destroyed]
Then he rushed forwards and, with his fists, punched through several other buildings, flying out on the other side where there still was no Honey. [x4 destroyed]
Folding his hands into his sleeves, Saekki stood contemplating once more. There was nowhere to sit, or else he would. The debris and general mess not only cluttered the place, but also filled it with dangerous objects. Saekki was bound to get cut or stabbed if he sat anywhere. [rest]
Of course, that was mostly his fault, to be honest. He was the one going around destroying everything. However, in the first place, the buildings shouldn't have been in the way. Whoever had created all of this... Saekki was pretty sure it was that pretty boy. [rest]
Yes, that pretty boy who had made that shack first. Saekki closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, trying hard to remember any details about that pretty boy. Nope. He had maybe vaguely seen him? But he was too busy fighting. [rest]
He had been walking in circles while taking a breather and thinking. At least, that was what he meant to do. However, when Saekki surfaced from his thoughts, ready to beat up more walls, he found himself in a completely clean alley. Not a sign of destruction anywhere. [rest]
He had really lost himself while walking in directions? Well, no matter. He still needed to find Honey. Saekki gathered the water in the air and used it to create a sword in his head. One strike with the aquatic blade sliced through a building. Subsequent slashes with it did the same, and as the blade lost more and more of its form, Saekki just reused the technique to replenish the water that it was made up of.
A pattern formed. Form blade, slash with the technique to form blade, slash two more times with physical strength, rinse and repeat. Well, it would have been a pattern, except, in the middle of the third rotation, Saekki's arms felt like jelly and he couldn't even raise them even a little. He didn't give up, though. His legs still had a little bit of strength in them. He pivoted on the spot and, three times, stamped the, once again, debris filled ground. Sharp, metal rubble raised into the air the first two time. The third time, Saekki's stomp was more of a flop of his leg, followed by the rest of his body falling down in suit. [x10 destroyed]
He had, once again, collapsed out of sheer exhaustion, so much for conserving energy. His body fell to the floor heavily, and all that debris that wasn't good to lay on? Yeah, it cut and pierced through his skin and clothes. Light scrapes and cuts. However, Saekki was sleeping like the dead. [rest]
However, that was it. That was the end. Saekki had done it. Now, no more of Alain's buildings were left. It was just his luck and terrible sense of direction that he could only find Honey after breaking down the very last building.
What a sight for Honey that must have been, if she was paying attention any. Losing Saekki, then seeing buildings fall all throughout the artificial city, only to see the last one fall and Saekki collapse right along with it.

The Lahlil clone only frowned at the news. Yet another person believing she was in charge? It was beginning to get much easier acting like the boss whenever everyone already believed as much. Expect now she was forced into the role of making serious choices on the future of the village. Should she even bother responding? She knew that while it had all been a terrible mistake, they had sent forces into the village and denied them in their time of need. It left a terrible taste in her mouth. Would she be damning her own village though? They could see this as proof in their legitimacy for war, or at the very least would cut off aid that they could provide. In the end the choice felt clear to her, she was no war monger or isolationist. She might come to regret sending her people into battle so soon but that would have to be something she answered for later, all she could do now was her beat and hope that it is enough. "Tell your Arashikages that I will send whoever I can... Just... don't expect an army. We lost a lot already." Turning to Sadayo Lahlil continued. "I know I just sent you off on a mission, but this sort of takes precedence. As one my best shinobi, would you be my ambassador in Arashigakure?"

Away from the crowd, Hikari had been exploring for a bit. She figured that she should also use this time to learn some techniques. Right at that moment, she saw a man writing. The dark mossy green hues caught on what it was; he was doing some Fuuinjutsu. Not a bad way for her to start off with learning. Sat down by him, she remembered that people liked to be asked instead of demanded. "If you don't mind, will you teach me?" The man was slightly thrown off because she wasn't using a sweet voice like most women would when asking or demanding. It was just... a question if anything. The man was happy to help another shinobi however, maybe it could help restore Konohagakure to it's former glory. The first one she was to learn, the Fūnyū no Jutsu. Carefully, she watched him write down the kanji. The glass by the scroll was vacuumed into the scroll. He passed the scroll to her and let her try with a different object. He placed a pencil by the scroll. With that, she wrote down the kanji and focused, not too ong after, the pencil was into the scroll. The next step was easy, she was to learn how to bring the objects back. The man explained how to unseal it as the glass appeared right on top of the scroll. Hikari attempted the same and the pencil appeared. Interesting. It was certainly different.
[ Fūnyū no Jutsu [ Enclosing Technique ] & Kaifū no Jutsu [ Unsealing Technique ] Learned! ]
The man asked Hikari if there was anything else she wanted to learn. There was one more she remembered, the Fuuin Tsunagu. With a nod, the man unrolled a bit more scroll to show her how it works as well explaining it. It seems when she activates one, the other one was to be activate as well without a moment hesitation. He sealed both the glass and the pencil and unsealed them as he explained along. With a nod, Hikari did the same and it went very well. She thanked him without a smile and got up to move on. What a curious girl indeed.
[ Fuuin Tsunagur [ Seal Connection ] Learned! ]
Going down some stairs, Hikari glanced around at the people. Some were just talking. Some cleaning. Some baking. Hmm. Baking. Some of the sweets smelled good. Her stomach rumbled. Hikari made a mental note to eat later but not right now. She had plans and she wanted to finish first before taking care of herself. It was at that moment that she saw a female practicing Kawar Shuriken. Approached her, Hikari requested if the lady doesn't mind teaching her the technique. It didn't seem that she does mind at all. Why were people so friendly and willing to teach? What was the point? Doesn't that waste their time? Oh well. Hikari can simply use this to her advantage. The lady showed her the hand seals that was needed and that she needed to stay focused and in control for the roof tiles because if she didn't, they would just hover and then fall onto the ground. With that in mind, Hikari did the hand seals and sure enough, five roof titles were levitating. Focused and made sure not to become distracted, she moved them a bit to the left, to the right. The woman explain if she spent more chakra, the harder they would been thrown as well faster. Hikari decided to test that and what do you know. The woman was right. She thanked the woman and carried on.
[ Kawara Shuriken [ Roof Tile Shuriken ] Learned! ( Learned as E, X-rank) ]
Hikari heard rumbling sounds but it didn't seem to bother anyone. Odd. She went to go investigate what the noise was. Headed up the stairs, she glanced down and saw some shinobi was using Doton for sure, which was one of her elements. Yet, she doesn't even know what he was doing. He was moving the ground and the buildings, ruined buildings that was, just crumbled and fall onto the ground. Hmm. Maybe she should learn this. With that, she glanced around and didn't want to walk all the way to the gate. Instead, she hopped down, be sure to use chakra as she landed safely and approached him as she asked him if he could teach her the technique. Again, he was happy to help. Was everyone like this? So friendly? Hikari still does not understand. Honestly, if someone asked her for help, she would say no because she had errands to do first. Perhaps on her free time and if it's beneficial for her. The man was kind enough to show her the hand seals and explained where the chakra was going as he gestured for her to try. Hikari nodded. With that, she did the handseals and placed her palms onto the ground and the ground had shifted slightly. The man had explained that if she put in more chakra, it will increase. She did so. The man thanked her for helping out as she was confused. She... was helping out? Huh. He brought up another technique that might help her, called Tsuchi Gunjikoudou no Jutsu. "Can you show me?" Hikari requested, she doesn't remember hearing that technique. The man nodded as he did the hand seal and just 'dived' into the ground. Whoa. Okay. This was pretty cool and it may help her. When he emerged, "If you don't mind, will you show me the hand seals?" He once again doesn't mind. Seriously, does asking nicely seem to make people always say yes? Oh well. He showed her as she performed the hand seals and sank into the ground as she wasn't quite yet comfortable just to dive. With that, she emerged and started to brush the dirt off of her body and her hair.
[ ER Tsuchi Gunjikoudou no Jutsu [ Earth Military Movement Technique ] & ERX Tsuchi Tou Tou [ Swift Earth ] Learned! ]
Hikari noticed a small group of people were heading to get water, judging by the jugs they were carrying. Decided to go with them, she likes being around water and maybe it could give her a peace of mind. Kept her distance because she doesn't know how to talk to them or even approach people, she heard the stream of water. Oh. Nice. Her head turned towards the small keep as she made sure she wasn't getting too far in case something was to happen. Hikari decided to recall the training of some martial arts she was taught back in Uzu before the destruction happened.
The first one was Art of Eight Limbs. She made her way to a nice clearing. Closed her eyelids she starts to recall what her teacher started to teach her. She lifted her right leg up to her chest and then extended her heel in a straight kick, made sure to slightly turn her hips so it would be less impact on her body but more power expelling outwards. Slowly, she bent her knee to her chest once again and lowered it onto the earth below. What was the next one... her teacher died in the destruction. The odd thing was, she doesn't feel sorrow or anything. It was more of, oh he died? Okay. She remembered the next one as she bent her elbow and struck backwards into the air. Brought her arm around she used her left arm and did a downward strike into the air once again. After all, not like she could find anyone to work on. The next one, she figure she could use a tree. Walked up to a tree, she grasp her hand around it's rough bark as she brought up her knee to where it would've struck someone's torso if the tree was a human being. She was slow and fast, so that way she doesn't hit the tree but gently press up against it. Once she brought down her foot upon earth, she opened her fist as her palm was outwards, she struck right onto the tree with her palm, gently of course.
[ Stage One & Stage Two of Art of Eight Limbs learned! +2 DR ]
The next one her teacher showed her was the Gentle Art. She liked this one. Hikari was an unusual one, she doesn't have a style she loves the most but they were all beneficial in their own way and she knew it. Hikari grasped the air as if someone was standing there and she grasped the collar with her right hand, slightly under the collar bone. Her left hand reached over to grasp the sleeve just below the elbow and tighten it. With a short burst of imaginary chakra that she would've done if she had a target in her hands, she raised her hands slightly as if the target was above the ground. While still grasping, she turned, placed her small back against the imaginary torso and did an explosive force to slam the imaginary air target onto the ground. With an exhale, Hikari stepped back for a moment and took few breaths. Does she miss her teacher? Perhaps a little. It wasn't missing, it was more of... disappointment of not being able to be taught more. What was next was made for someone that was her height and perhaps, taller. She grasped the imaginary collar with her right hand, furhter back on the neck that they can't reach. Her left hand reached for the sleeve, below the elbow and yanked the imaginary body towards her as she can imagine he or she would lose their balance. With that, she came around with an elbow strike. Next one was fun! She loved doing this at the dojo but then her eyes glanced down at the ground. Okay. Dojo had comfy mats, Earth? Not exactly comfy. Oh well. Wouldn't hurt to work on it, after all in a real battle, there wasn't going to be any comfortable mats around. With that, she slightly bent her knees, and stood up, slightly bent her knees again and brought her strongest leg from behind, doing a flip as she landed on the ground and at the same time, her arm was extended as she slapped onto the ground. It was how she learned. Resting for a moment, the dark moss green hues glanced up at the sky as she remembered the next one in her mind. It was when she grasp her teacher sa they step side by side and then straightens out her teacher leg out from underneath and threw her teacher as he plummeted onto their back as her leg was lifted off the ground to avoid falling onto the ground.
[ Stage One & Stage Two Gentle Art Learned! + 2 DR ]
Hikari got herself off the ground as she dusted herself for a bit. It was then she realized she doesn't hear talking anymore. Her eyes darted to the stream and she doesn't see small group of people she followed. She glanced back towards the keep and saw them walking towards the gate. Oh. Oh well. There was a bit more for her to practice. Her teacher had mention to always practice and it would be fine just doing the movements every day so the muscle can remember what to do and she wouldn't have to think about it anymore. When she was done dusting, she shifted her left foot forward as the right slowly drags to behind her, her arms close to her body and the palm outwards. Her hands were tight and solid. Knife hands. The next one, she started to hop around, using chakra as she was going around the tree. To the left, right, front, back, left, right, back, front, back, left and she did that for couple of more minutes before she was feeling a bit of a burn. She didn't want to harm trees on the next one so instead, she faced a bush. With that, she faked a straight kick and a powerful gust of wind pushed the bush as it rustled underneath the force but there was no snapping or popping of a sound. Good. Even though they may clear this area, she wasn't in the mood to break nature, clean up its mess or hear someone complaining. For the next one, she imagined someone had attacked her and she caught it as she spun the attacker around and slam them onto the ground. With a soft exhale, she kick her right leg straight up while the other rests on the ground as a gust appeared above the air. Her teacher had mention that this could help protect her from ninjutsu or projectiles and it was nice. Stretching, she popped a few joints as she headed back inside.
[ Stage One and Stage Two of Kyotoryuu learned! + 2 DR ]
Her stomach growled once again. Hikari had to pause for a moment. Can she continue with her errands or does she have to take care of herself? It was at that moment, she had remembered a lecture from a teacher of how important food was. With a defeated sigh, Hikari made her way back inside the keep as she tried to remember where that bakery was. She could use something sweet. After few flight of stairs and several turns, she had found it, just by following the scent of smell. Ah. Perfect. Hikari ordered some food as she sat down by the table and started to eat a thick looking sandwich and off on the side of her plate was a big cinnamon roll she was saving for last.

While appearing soft on the outside, Kagerou's eyes keenly observed all the little movements and ripples on the face of the introduced leader's face, not moving nor looking elsewhere until she received her full reply. There was hesitation and reluctance, two roadblocks that were playing slightly bigger roles than she had expected them to. However, it appeared that there was also acceptance of the facts, and eventually, a loss of tension as Lahlil relented.
"Arashikages...?" Kagerou answered, gently smiling upon hearing the approval, "I see. Due to reasons not yet released to the public, our new Arashikage is Tosokurui Ashi Hojo."
The green haired kunoichi paused to consider. Breaking perhaps the most basic rule, she spoke her bare thoughts, "By no means were we expecting any sort of army... In fact, when I proposed this idea, all I expected was a handful of people with even my best efforts. An army, we already have. What I'm looking for is heart, take that as you may." Certainly, a confusing way to put it. However, Kagerou didn't have the time to dabble on philosophical and ethical musings. Dipping her hand into the pouch at her hip, Kagerou twisted her fingers and unsealed two blank playing cards. She withdrew these without difficult and handed one to Lahlil with the explanation, "Please, once you're ready, communicate with this. It has a scroll communication technique embedded onto its back. I will create a means of transporting however many you've chosen. Just have them gather at this exact spot and I will be ready for them within a few minutes." This was the last matter of business. "I hope, once this battle is over, I will be able to return to this new village and assist you with your wounded. It is the least I can do."
Now, all that was left was to return home. Kagerou turned to look at Sadayo and gave her a polite nod, "Miss Sadayo. I believe you've already heard my name. Unfortunately, I must ask you to accompany me immediately.". As ever a smile, and maintaining her appearance, Kagerou didn't show the slightest signs of difficulty when she weaved hand signs and cast open a rift the size of two doorways directly behind her. "This rift will take us to the edge of the Fire Country," Kagerou explained as she stepped halfway through, "and then I will create another that will take us to Arashigakure," her last words came as she stepped completely through the portal, "I can keep this rift open for a few minutes at most, in case you have any others to send immediately after me. Otherwise, as I said, please contact me via calling card.
Exit to border of Lightning Country
▰ Yomotsu Hirasaka | Rank A | Spiritual The user is able to form an invisible rift that is up to 100ft wide within the fabric of space which allows them to instantaneously transport theirself or other people/things to different locations within their immediate (same topic) or surrounding (same sub-forum) location. They are also capable of transporting portions or sections of something by only partially entering through the portal. One of the paired portals must always be in close proximity to the user (within 10ft), but the other can be anywhere in the aforementioned range (same topic/sub-forum). Whatever enters one side will instantly exit through the other, like a paper-thin doorway, leaving no room for anyone/anything to be left behind if passing all the way through. The portal can be sustained for no more than 3 posts. This technique cannot be activated more than twice per post (cost paid for each use), and cannot be reactivated for two [2] posts.
There was nothing more embarassing than causing your ally to literally fall. Well, probably there are some other slightly more embarrassing mishaps but Sadayo's attention grabber took the cake when it came to mistakes. It didn't matter they had a probable diplomat present what mattered is that Sadayo messed up and plucked a tired clone off her feet. The Lahlil-attention grabbing string was cut from that point on. "Sorry..." Sadayo voices her regret sheepishly with a pained frown. Her face was perhaps turning red with embarassment for her errot and she turned her neck away for a second only to ultimately remind herself of the rabbit at ease on her shoulder. There was no where to hide; Not even crawling into the pangolin puppet's mouth could save her. And so Kagerou spoke. Her tale seem to bring Sadayo to a slightly more leveled state about the awful affairs within the ninja world. Isn't the old saying "third time's the charm"? Depsite a complete lack of charm this was technically the puppeteer third, potential, bout with an immense threat. This time, she thought, there was a chance she could add in her "charm" and actually do something instead of having to opt out with a strategic retreat. A part of her felt indebted to stay, however, rebuild and wait. On the other hand, it was ultimately Lahlil who wedged a request between Sadayo's internal clash of choices. Sadayo wanted to be reluctant but any allies at this point for the collective rebuild as a valuble token that could bare fruit in favor of the survivors. She knew herself to be dignified and well mannered enough to stand as a voice for the remnents of the Islands. "Has there ever been a soot sullied ambassador?" The puppet asked in jest of her own worn appearance before she nodded and stretched her shoulder to egg the rabbit away. "Hop down now. Go on." The pangolin puppet was dimissed on the grounds of seeming too awkward to pass through Kagerou's portal. Yuutsu would creak and fall in line behind the puppeteer. The Gishin puppet, to follow suit, would begin its departure with slow and gentle motions of sinking and attempting to pat the rabbit on the head. Kagerou was even egging, if not pressing, Sadayo on at this point too. She couldn't show any uneasiness for the situation and was making strides to mentally prepare what she might come up against and potentially on her own. Nodding, again, to Kagerou and watched the exchange of the enchanted scroll before Sadayo turned to Lahlil. She didn't bother to hide the look on her face that paired well with the awkward uncertain feeling. "I feel like I should leave you with something." Sadato cleared her throat and looked back into the crowd. "An apology. I suppose. I was trying to ring in that so n' so with the sword. They might be hard to see but I wanted to get their attention to bring with me to look into the previous matter. I know it's unfair to send off a less experienced somebody to address the issue to the east. Maybe they will be more use than what I saw- uhm assumed- on the surface. " She spoke and tried to be vague with information Lahlil herself encouraged to keep quiet. "I can only assume if the others want to follow you then I can try too." The truth of the matter was that Sadayo wasn't certain what to say. She couldn't treat this as parting words but one awfully important matter still ached at her. It was hard to speak the words at first since this feeling all still very much bottled up from showing to others. "If someone comes looking for me," Sadayo furrowed her brow, blinked, and looked at the rabbit. b]"Tell them I made it. Yeah." The puppeteer nods to herself and looks back at Lahlil one more time before turning to follow Kagerou's lead.

Sadayo may have intended for Usagi to not follow, but this was getting interesting. As the pair of ninja dashed off towards their objective, Usagi would follow close behind.
Tucked away in a room in one of the newly formed buildings of the budding village that he now called home, Ueki sat alone. Laying before him were several scrolls, open and scattered about as he rotated between his reading. He had been in the library of Uzu's academy during the final moments of the village and was fortunate enough to have saved them before fleeing, thinking they might come in handy. If nothing else, he could at least say he managed to save something.
Training posts
【Misson: Learn a Jutsu {x3}】 【Learning: Water Manipulation; Hidden Mist Technique; Mist Vision Technique; Water Prison Technique】 Beginning first with a scroll marked with the symbol for water, Ueki began his studies by looking into suiton techniques. Of course, before he learned any of the more advanced techniques, he first studied the Water Manipulation skill, which he felt was essential for any shinobi who intended to make use of suiton. From here he read up on the Hidden Mist Technique and figured if he was going to use it in battle, he should also make sure he understood the practice of the Mist Vision Technique as well. Wouldn't make much sense to summon concealing mist if he couldn't see in it himself. He also took a moment to look over the Water Prison Technique as well, thinking it might come in handy one day. 【Learning: Water Manipulation; Hidden Mist Technique; Mist Vision Technique; Water Prison Technique】✔ 【Misson: Learn a Jutsu {x3}】✔
【Learning: Water Shuriken Technique; Evil Windmill Water Shuriken】 While these were all interesting and useful skills, the technique Ueki was most interested in was the Water Shuriken Technique. Possessing a pension for thrown weapons, this was a jutsu that was right up his alley. True, the use of thrown weapons was a basic one that all shinobi learned and was considered trivial by many but he didn't care. He personally felt they were underrated and had a lot of hidden potential in battle. Reading a bit further ahead, he was excited to find that this technique had a more advanced form, Evil Windmill Water Shuriken, that would allow him to form a single large Fuuma Shuriken rather than several small standard shuriken. He was all for versatility. 【Learning: Water Shuriken Technique; Evil Windmill Water Shuriken】✔
【Learning: Wind Clone; Wind Levitation; Projectile Control Technique; Retrieving Wind Technique; Vacuum Sword】 From suiton, Ueki next set his eyes on a scroll containing fuuton techniques. Starting with the basics, he first looked into Wind Clone. He had already learned a cloning technique during his time at the academy but this clone seemed to have far superior functionality since it could actually perform attacks. On the subject of functionality, he also took the time to read up on three skills that would allow him to better perform with his projectiles: Wind Levitation, Projectile Control Technique, and Retrieving Wind Technique. With these, he'd be able better control his projectiles and retrieve them with ease. He also read through the Vacuum Sword technique. He preferred to keep a kunai in each hand for the sake of balance but definitely wasn't opposed to the idea of stashing one in order to give him access to another technique should ever be needed. 【Learning: Wind Clone; Wind Levitation; Projectile Control Technique; Retrieving Wind Technique; Vacuum Sword】✔
【Learning: Gale Surge; Wind Release Stream; Propelling Winds; Low Air Pressure Technique; High Air Pressure Technique】 Moving on to some more advanced fuuton techniques, Ueki first looked into Gale Surge, thinking it would be good to add a defensive technique to his arsenal. He also wanted to add some mobility to his skills so Wind Release Stream and Propelling Winds caught his eye. Wind Release Stream would give him better control over his body should he ever find himself in the air and Propelling Winds seemed like a good way to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. Further diversifying his skill set, he thought it might be a good idea to pick up the Low Air Pressure Technique and High Air Pressure Technique, giving some control over his environment. 【Learning: Gale Surge; Wind Release Stream; Propelling Winds; Low Air Pressure Technique; High Air Pressure Technique】✔
【Learning: Lightning Clone; Flickering Light; Static Strings; Electrical Resistance Training; Current Transfer Technique】 Turning his attention towards the field of Raiton techniques, just as he had with Fuuton, Ueki began by looking over Lightning Clone. Like with Wind Clone, this seemed to be a more advanced form to the clone technique he learned in the academy, with this one having the added effect of having its attacks, although weaker, by comparison, deliver a shock upon contact with the opponent. From here, he came across Flickering Light and Static Strings. While they may not have been powerful techniques, he could definitely see the value in knowing them. He also dabbled a bit in the area of Electrical Resistance Training, thinking it would be a good idea not to electrocute himself whenever he made use of any of these techniques. The technique that most caught his eye though was the Current Transfer Technique. This would definitely help him spice up his projectile game. 【Learning: Lightning Clone; Flickering Light; Static Strings; Electrical Resistance Training; Current Transfer Technique】✔
【Learning: Escaping Skill; Shadowing Stealth Technique; Substitution Technique; Body Flicker Technique】 Setting aside his scrolls on the various elemental ninjutsu styles, Ueki was able to shift his focus to the branch of ninjutsu that most interested him, Maruton. While universal in nature, being able to be learned by anyone, he felt like many viewed them as basic and thus underestimated them. However, Ueki believed that they had great versatility and could be quite formidable with practice and dedication. Beginning with the basics, he first looked into the Escape Skill, definitely something that could come in handy in a pinch. From here, he studied the Shadowing Stealth Technique, since being able to hide effectively was key to being a shinobi. For more combative skills though, he also looked over the Substitution Technique and Body Flicker Technique. Can't hit what you can't touch, right? 【Learning: Escaping Skill; Shadowing Stealth Technique; Substitution Technique; Body Flicker Technique】✔
【Learning: Eye Mind Reading; Astral Projection Skill】 Shifting back to non-combative techniques, Ueki looked into Eye Mind Reading. It was one thing to read an enemy's body language and demeanor, but to actually be able to see into their mind? That was definitely something that could come in handy. He also read over the Astral Projection Skill. This was another skill, he definitely wanted to have up his sleeve. 【Learning: Eye Mind Reading; Astral Projection Skill】✔
【Learning: Nadeshiko-Style Deep Crimson Dance Performance; Dance Performance: Second Step; Exploding Puppy; Manipulate Advancing Blades】 Looking into some of the more of the advanced techniques, Ueki came across a selection that involved the use of kunai. These were definitely right up his alley. The first one he saw was the Nadeshiko-Style Deep Crimson Dance Performance, which, aside from being quite the mouthful, seemed quite graspable. His accuracy was already impress but being able to increase to near perfection through the use of chakra seemed like the perfect technique for him. Seeming to be the quantity version to the quality of the Nadeshiko, the Second Step took the opposite approach, spraying a barrage of kunai in many directions as opposed to one precise shot. Both seemed like they'd come in handy so he was happy to learn both versions. His reading further led him to a technique called Exploding Puppy. While crude in name, he certainly saw the value in this technique. Between this technique and the Second Step, it seemed quite likely any conflict he'd encounter was likely to litter the battlefield with projectiles. As such, he made sure to pick up Manipulate Advancing Blades, allowing him to further utilize the projectiles he used. 【Learning: Nadeshiko-Style Deep Crimson Dance Performance; Dance Performance: Second Step; Exploding Puppy; Manipulate Advancing Blades】✔
【Learning: Chameleon Skin; Camouflage of the Peculiar; Hidden Assassin Technique; Shadowmeld; Shadow Swell】 Having created quite the arsenal of ninjutsus, Ueki saw fit to spice things up a bit further by looking into Genjutsu. While not his specialty, he could certainly see the advantage trickery could give one. Beginning with a simple technique, he first studied Chameleon Skin, something that would help him better blend into any given environment he may find himself in. In line with this thinking, he further studied the Camouflage of the Peculiar technique, which seemed to be a more advanced version of Chameleon Skin, and the Shadowmeld technique, which would help him blend into any shadows in which he attempted to hide. While on the subject of shadows, he also picked up the Shadow Swell technique, thinking it could make for a good way to hinder his opponent's perception and give him an advantage. Finally, he looked into the Hidden Assassin Technique, a great way to misdirect an opponent. 【Learning: Chameleon Skin; Camouflage of the Peculiar; Shadowmeld; Shadow Swell; Hidden Assassin Technique】✔
【Learning: Signal Flare; Echo; Hunting Dog】 Picking up the final scroll he had in his possession, Ueki started looking over an assortment of Sensory jutsu. A field specializing in the gathering of information, these techniques held a great fascination with Ueki, as he believed the more intel one could gather, the more successful one would be. Thus, Ueki eagerly dove into the scroll to learn all he could from it, beginning with two of its most basic techniques, Signal Flare and Echo. With Signal Flare's ability to create something of a beacon and Echo's allowing a user to map out distant terrain, both seemed like keen navigational techniques. Along with these, he also read over Hunting Dog, another technique that could be used for navigation, though also with some tracking capabilities. 【Learning: Signal Flare; Echo; Hunting Dog】✔
【Learning: Dragon's Tattoo; Whispering Walls; Door Guard】 Reading further into the scroll, Ueki read up on the Dragon's Tattoo. Through the use of a tattoo-like marking, the user could strengthen the bond between themselves and whomever they place the said tattoo on, allowing them to work more effectively with the person regardless of a lack of training. From here, he came across techniques that dealt more directly with the gathering of intel, something he definitely wanted in his arsenal. First reading over Whispering Walls, he found it quite intriguing that one could discern information simply by touching an item. Door Guard similarly piqued his interest, although this technique allowed the user to gain information from a person they touched, rather than an object. 【Learning: Dragon's Tattoo; Whispering Walls; Door Guard】✔
Concluding his reading, Ueki took a deep breath and slowly released it with a low sigh as he leaned back in his chair. It felt like he'd been sitting at this table for days, trudging his way through all these scrolls. At least, he had vastly increased his knowledge of techniques from a wide spectrum of fields. Of course, he wasn't done yet, he still had far more he could learn, though he definitely needed to get outside and get some fresh air before he attempted to dive back into his collection of scrolls. Thus, he gathered up the various scrolls and placed them back where they belonged before exiting the room and making his way out of the building.
More training posts
【Misson: Target Practice】 【Learning: Formless (Kunai and Shuriken)】 Once outside, Ueki made his way to a nearby grove of trees, a remnant of the former landscape. While he certainly appreciated the scenery and shade they provided, he had other plans for them. Pulling a collection of assorted kunai and shuriken from the pouch on his lower back, he lined himself up with one of the trees and began hurling the objects at it. As usual, his aim was impeccable, aside from a few stray shots here and there. He'd blame the wind for those. Still, in no time at all, he was all warmed and ready to get serious about his throwing. 【Learning: Formless (Kunai and Shuriken)】✔
【Learning: Straight Shot; Mirror Shot; Snare Toss; Shadow Sling】 Wanting to step his game up, Ueki began to experiment more with his tosses. Changing his grip to hold one of his kunai like one would hold a dart, he threw it forward in a Straight Shot with far greater speed than a traditional shot. He then grabbed two shuriken in each hand and began practicing his Mirror Throwing, feeling his speed improve with each toss. Further enhancing his throws, he grabbed an additional shuriken in each hand and began throwing a series of Snare Tosses, using the shuriken to create a pincer maneuver. Of course, while adding more projectiles to his tosses was impressive, there were also ways to improve his skills with a bit of cleverness. Rather than continuing his tossing of numerous shuriken, Ueki instead grabbed a single kunai and formed a single hand sign. He then tossed the kunai and watched as an illusionary formed ahead of the actual projectile, creating a Shadow Sling. 【Learning: Straight Shot; Mirror Shot; Snare Toss; Shadow Sling】✔
【Learning: Retrieval, Orbital Projectiles; Bang Shot】 Having thrown many projectiles at this point (and not wanting to take the time to collect them by hand), Ueki performed the necessary hand seals and performed the Retrieval technique. This released threads of chakra out at the fallen projectiles and pulled them back to him. Definitely a handy skill. Wanting to further his exploration of the more ninjutsu oriented skills of the throwing arts, he focused his chakra into his hands and holding his arms out in the air to his sides. Doing so caused the assortment of weapons he had just retrieved to rise and begin rotating around his as Orbital Projectiles. Quite pleased with himself, he took aim for the tree once more and coated two of the orbiting kunai in chakra. He then released a Bang Shot, sending the two kunai soaring towards the trees. Upon colliding with the tree, the two kunai then detonated with great force. More force than he had been expecting, actually. To his surprise, the truck of the tree was completely shattered, causing what remained of the tree to fall to the ground with a mighty thud. The surprise of this event caused Ueki to lose his concentration causing the remaining projectiles that hovered around him to fall to the ground. "Maybe that's enough target practice for one day....." 【Learning: Retrieval, Orbital Projectiles; Bang Shot】✔ 【Mission: Target Practice】✔
【Learning: Upward Repel; Assisted Jab; Knife Flow; Sleight of Hand; Knife Trick】 Wanting to shift to perhaps a more controlled style of weapon use, Ueki gathered his projectiles and put them all away, save a single kunai. As if is battling an imaginary opponent, he began swinging his kunai in an Upward Repel, practicing parrying attacks from various angles. Of course, what was a parry without a counterattack? With this in mind, every few parries, Ueki shifted his stance to perform an Assisted Jab, using his chakra to enhance his speed. As he ran the maneuver over and over again, he could feel the movements become easier and more natural as his Knife Flowed through the air. He even began tossing his kunai from hand to hand, practicing his skills with Sleight of Hand and went on to perform a Knife Trick every so often, tossing his kunai into the air and making a quick dash before catching it a short distance away. 【Learning: Upward Repel; Assisted Jab; Knife Flow; Sleight of Hand; Knife Trick】✔
【Learning: Swift Shot; Dirty Reflection; Two-for-One; Knife Hand】 With his confidence returning after his previous blunder, Ueki felt comfortable with practicing one more throwing technique, a Swift Shot. Infusing his kunai with some of this chakra, he tossed the blade at a nonfallen tree and watched as it soared through the air. However as he observed the kunai, it passed through a beam of light that reflected off the blade and into his eyes. He'd have to remember this Dirty Reflection for later, putting it to use for his own benefit. Retrieving the kunai he had thrown, he prepared to move on to the next step in his training, effectively utilizing two blades with the same amount of effort that was required to use one. A Two-for-One special, if you would. However, rather than pulling out an additional kunai to use, he instead sought to turn his own hand into a blade. Focusing his chakra into his hand, he watched as an eight-inch blade seemed to materialize from his fingertips, effectively turning it into a Knife Hand. With this he was able to continue his training, running through his earlier drills but now with two blades. 【Learning: Swift Shot; Dirty Reflection; Two-for-One; Knife Hand】✔
Feeling he'd put in a good day's worth of training, Ueki made took a seat in the shade of one of the trees. He'd earned at least ten-minute break..........maybe twenty.
As much as Lahlil had wanted to keep it a secret, an unknown ninja from the storm appearing from thin air had already sent the crowd that hadn’t entered the castle yet on edge. Would they be attacked again after only just escaping by the skin of their teeth? It didn’t help either that the Jounin and Lahlil clones were now scouting for volunteers from among the crowd that spoke of war to even the blind.
Noud in particular however, had his eyes set on one violent little kid that was busy causing a muck among the newly created village homes. Well, kid was really only used as a term of playful sass that the older ninja showed with everyone. In reality whoever the ninja was, he was older than any genin he had seen in the village for some time. Smiling when his body collapsed to the floor from exhaustion the admiral pulled the attention of one of the local nurses to assist the boy.
From underneath her feet Honey could only let out a pitiful yelp-roar in surprise at the sudden lifting of her form on a tower of black metal. So much so, that her attack ended up missing although with her balance thrown out of wack and causing her to bump her snoot on the ground. Instinctively her mind went to Saekki and in a desperate stumble did the Kodiak bear throw herself off the skyscraper before all she ended up finding was a body.
Thus, it actually worked out when Saekki himself had ended up demolishing the buildings in a display of power that Honey only ever seen from those of her kind. Both impressed and seeing her human in a whole new light, the bear ran her heart out to be reunited with her tamer. By the time that the nurse had come Honey had turned desperate enough to allow them to work on him without interference. She could do little with her useless paws anyway and she had witnessed the miracle that the clever little humans could work before.
It was clear that Noud had earned his Jounin title by skill and keeping a level head when the man didn’t even flinch at the sight of a two ton bear charging at him. He had seen the bond tamers and their pets had shared before and honestly, he could understand where the concern and love came from, probably on a level higher than most. “He’ll be alright darlin don’t ya worry.” Noud doubted that the animal could understand his words exactly, but the comforting tone should at least convey the idea that the two uzu ninja were here to help. ”Honestly Noud, you should have stopped him before it got this bad.”“Ahh sue me I wanted to see just how tough the kid really was.” Taking the berating in stride, the male ninja squatted down as he waited for the boy to wake up.
(( One female ninja healing you and one Jounin ship captain looking ninja to give you D rank. When you wake up give yourself full chakra and stamina of a D rank ninja because Noud is just going to give you it anyway. ))

Dusting the sleeves of his coat off Gadi let off an annoyed huff. First the state of the citizens and now this despicable dirt mucking about his attire? Why it simply wouldn't do! He would have to hunt down his old dry cleaners as soon as everything settled down some. In meantime though it looked as if he was going to be thrusted into another war so soon after the destruction of his village, it was however, the wish of his Lady and he would follow her wherever she went.
During the tiger's meandering it seemed fate must have set a course for his aimless direction, as he come upon a young man resting near a tree. A pointed squint and the tiger called out to him. "Ah, you there, young lad. Might you be one of the Uzu survivors? It seems that we've been called to battle once again." The lad couldn't have been more than 15 which brought a smile to Gado's face, along with a sort of fatherly desire to watch over him. "If you'd kindly follow me, I can lead you to the portal where we will be leaving from. I have been placed at head of the third strike force and would gladly take you under my wing."

Though he had sat down under precept of only resting for ten to twenty minutes, Ueki was doing little to actually hold himself to this internal agreement. Who knew how many minutes actually passed while he rested in the shaded? Fifteen? Thirty? Maybe even an hour? He certainly wasn't keeping track. He was just thankful to be able to enjoy a moment of peace and quiet, after all the recent chaos in his life. Of course, peace and quiet were both often far too fleeting, as he would soon be reminded.
"Ah, you there, young lad."
A nearby voice caught Ueki's attention, as he did fit that vague description. Turning his attention towards the source of the voice, his gaze fell upon anthropomorphic tiger-man, a rather curious sight. Granted, this wasn't unheard of in the shinobi world, as he'd come across stories animal-human hybrids in some of his reading and had even caught a glimpse or two of this one speaking with Lahil. Still, it was certainly still a rarity. 'Well, this ought to be interesting.' he thought, the tiger-man having captured his attention. Whatever could he want from Ueki?
As the tiger-man spoke, Ueki found it quite interesting how his gentlemanly tone and demeanor seemed to contrast against his more beastly appearance. A good reminder that one must never judge a book by its cover. However, as pleasant as his mannerisms were, the news he brought with him was less than ideal. 'So it's another war then?' he thought with a sigh. Having just barely survived his escape from Uzu, Ueki was still feeling some of the fatigue from the last major conflict. However, he would give no protest or complaints to his drafting. This is was the life he agreed to when he chose the shinobi path.
Rising to his feet, Ueki took a moment to dust himself off before joining the tiger-man. "Well then, commander, lead the way." he said with a grin, offering a somewhat playful salute. Despite the gravity of the situation, he wanted to do his best to keep the mood as light as he could. It helped him control his nerves.

The genin finished eating as she made sure to clean up the table. Stretching softly, she figured that she should train a bit more, mainly her bloodline. With that, she headed back out to the little clearing she had found earlier and resumed training.
First things first, she should work on her bloodline a bit. This one, she cannot practice but she can recollect what it was about. Shishō Tenketsu. She mumbled to herself as she made sure she could find the four points as she gently just touch them above her skin. This technique was deadly and honestly, Hikari hope to never use it. While she may struggle understanding emotions, survival instinct was always strong in living beings. Now it was time to have a bit of fun. Once she did a handseal, her other hand had crystals formed. Small pebble like crystals rested upon her palm. Then she added more chakra. This time, it was big as a basketball. Played it around for a bit before she gently tossed it and added more chakra as it grew massive, tall and wide as her. Her hand gently touched the cool surface as she smiled. She was glad to have a bloodline that matched her. Cold and hard. She knows her crystals can break so can someone break her and have her feel? Time will only tell. Focused on the crystal she made, she slid her hands around and did the handseal as a dome surrounded her. Hikari needs to figure out how to make this faster.
[ Shishō Tenketsu [ Pressure Points of Harm and Death ], Shou Soujuu [ Crystal Manipulation ], and Kurenai no Kajitsu [ Crimson Fruit ] Learned! ]
Having a bit of fun, she focused as needles like appeared between her fingers as her fist was clenched. She threw them at the tree as the pink crystal needles struck the tree and remained there. Took in a deep breath, she did the hand seals as a form appeared at her hand. Wanted a bit of fun, she worked on her footwork and slash the blade around a bit. Exhaling softly, she had the crystal slowly become dust into the air. Hikari shifted her body slightly as she did another set of handseals and this time, pink layering of crystal covered her body. This would be good to protect herself if she needed to.
[ Kurisutaru hasshabutsu no sōzō [ Crystal Projectile Creation ], Kurisutaruburēdo no sōzō [ Crystal Blade Creation ], and Kesshō no Yoroi [ Crystal Armor ] Learned ]
Glanced towards the clearing with her dark green hues, she does another set of handseals as a zone of jagged sharp crystals rips through the grounds as she has it surround her. Added more chakra, more jagged crystals was around her. This would be part of good defense except, it leaves her up underground and aerial. Hikari would have to keep that in mind. Shattering three jagged crystals herself, particles was swirling around her as they condensed themselves into several shruikens as she had it target the crystals below. Last one for her to learn, she used the crystals from previous techniques. Picked a jagged crystal, she had it shattered into needles as it fired to a tree. The poor tree had enough as it fell to the ground. Hikari scratched her cheek. Oh well. Nature will take care of it.
[ Kurisutu no Banu [ Crystal Vein], Shuriken Ranbu [ Shuriken Wild Dance ], and Crystal release: Purpose, Learned! ]
It was time for her to move onto her taijutsu. With a bit of stretch, she once again, decided to use the air as an imaginary target. She can always summon a clone but that was just a bit too odd for her to handle. Her arms went around as if she was going for a hug, but her hand grasp her wrist as it seems she had powerful attack between her arms. The next one, she did a bit of a jump and a superman punch. Now last but not least, she shifted into a supporting stance and did a full roundhouse, which caused her to do a 360 due to the fact that was nothing for her to hit but air.
[ Stage Three of Art of Eight Limbs learned! ] + 1 DR
Now it was time to work on the next one, Kyotouryuu. What was the second defensive stance... She moved her left foot to ahead of herself with her right foot behind the left foot, her arms at her side, elbows bent and open palms. With that, her right open palm did a strike upwards as if it would slammed underneath the target's jaw. Hikari made sure she was breathing right. It was always important to do so. With that, she imagined as if an enemy was coming to her with a sword. With the knife hand, she struck and defended herself with the sword as a vibration should go through and hit the target's limb.
[ Stage Three of Kyotouryuu Learned! ] + 1 DR
Now time to work on her last Taijutsu style. Focused, she does a sudden explosive 'hidden' wind as the lives rustled from the slight surprise of the kiai. The Kiai also helped her felt energetic and ready to go. With that, her left arm went to grap the right collar as her right arm grabbed the left and she pulled them forwards. Who was them? No one but the target in her imagination. Problem with this choke, not a alot of people realized they are being choked because they can still breath. This kind of pressure cuts off the blood flow, 3-5 seconds they would be out. Now the next one, she imagined someone with an outstretched hand as she grasped it and turned it towards her, their arm at her center as she wrapped her arm around theirs and pull it. This would hurt if not taken care of fast enough.
[ Stage Three of Gentle Arts Learned! ] + 1 DR
Now it was time just for her to come up with different things and focused on her breathing. With slow inhale and longer exhale, she did different throws that she had learn. Different parrying that could happen. Mobility, being flexible and fluid. These were all important. Not only that she worked on, also blocking. Striking hard and fast. Made sure her stance were stable each time she shifted around.
[ Soft Physical and Hard Physical Learned! ]
Sweat beads glisten all over her body. With a sharp exhale to exert her energy, she headed over to a tree and sat down underneath the shade for a moment. The back of her head rested against the bark of the tree as she just soaked in everything. The buzzing and chirping of bugs and birds. Trickling of the water from the stream. Hikari was trying to figure out what she needed to do next. Once an outcast, always an outcast, she decided just to hang out underneath the shade of the tree before going back into the stony walls. Several minutes had passed as she hopped up from the ground and decided to take a walk around the keep and to see if there was anything she could do.

Compared to his previous faint-naps, Saekki slept for a long while this time. His body exhausted, it was taking this chance to rest and rebuild itself into something stronger. Something along the lines of twenty minutes passed before Saekki began to stir, and as this was now his third time collapsing and reawakening, he got up with much more difficulty. The nurse had been tending to his body as best as she could, but nothing could really make up for a martially crippled body breaking down 36 buildings within one day. Sluggishly, he propped himself up on one elbow and leaned his weight against Honey to sling his other arm up to hug her head.
Perhaps it was also because he was also taking advantage of Honey being besides him now. Not only did he no longer have to relentlessly search for her, the only reason he was crashing down those buildings, but he could act a little spoiled in front of her.
While Saekki completely entrusted himself to Honey, slumping against her to rest, his eyes remained warily watching the nurse attending to him and the jounin observing him. It wasn't outright hostility or suspicion, but the caution towards strangers that naturally arised in someone who had been betrayed by his own clan and left for dead. He had to admit, however, the lingering soreness in his muscles aside, he really felt a lot better compared to the last time he had waken up from fainting.
"Are you okay, Honey?" Saekki turned his head into the fur right below her ear and asked, his eyes still trained on the other two. He wasn't letting his guard down around the, but they could wait. He had to first make sure Honey was alright. He had left her to fight alone, after all.

Gado squinted again at the poor posture the boy exhibited during his salute but allowed the fault to pass without a berating this once, despite his usually strict opinions on holding oneself to gentlemanly standards. For all anyone knew the two could be marching to their deaths and were that to be the case who was he how to tell someone to live the rest of their life? Of course for as long as he drew breath Gado would never let such a fate come to pass on such a little one. "Excellent. Come, we must be off posthaste."
The trip to the meeting point was relatively quick and alive with activity. Ninja were a buzz all over the zone with teams of three entering a glimmering flat surface before disappearing through it. Throughout all the mayhem Gado was a constant. Impassively searching the crowd for someone while occasionally glancing at his pocket watch, there was a huff in disapproval before he spoke. "Right then, shall we be off?" A curt nod was all he threw back at the boy before leaping through the portal and into the fray.

tab There was a reason the term 'Like a bat out of hell's was coined and boy would those who weren't already used to it's flight patterns understand that before their time was through. Constant lurching and random drops that could make a rollercoaster blush were what made up the travel back to the waterfall. The only solace that could be gained from it all was that it was quick. In no time at all the group was taken back to the pseudo village and more importantly, the glimmering portal outside its walls. The crowd had mostly been cleared now and only teams of ninja, ready to enter battle, remained.
The shadow of the pitch black bat come down with a mighty thud. The moment it did Lahlil slid off her baby's back and summoned more shadow copies of herself to deal with problems inside the keep. She had been fiddling with the idea of going herself on the ride here and for all that trouble Lahlil had only seemed to earn herself a feeling of butterflies in her stomach. There was still so many people that needed her every which way it was starting to feel a bit maddening. Whatever it takes. I'll push it all onto future me if I have to.
Out stretching her hand, Lahlil helped down Shouri out of fear the ride might have frightened him in the same way it had her during her first time. "Ready?" Her tone was kept nothing but motherly and it was at that moment she fully made up her mind. "Time to help our new friends." With one final deep breath Lahlil hopped through the portal and into whatever trouble lay on the other side.

It was quite a trek, draining on hit patience, wandering after the survivors and refugees, picking up the scraps of info they left behind, pointing him right back to the Land of Fire, to this shoddy little castle, at best."Christ. This is where they ended up?"He'd spit at the ground, lighting up a cigarette after, eyes flashing around for some kind of sentry or guard or schmuck coming in and out he could bully into letting him inside. He had sort of unofficially, officially, accidentally on purpose left Uzu thinking he wasn't needed anymore, only to hear within hours of his departure it had exploded and everyone he personally knew dead. No longer could he run from the train heading at him."Don't make me knock, please. My knuckles are made of glass."He'd rear back his head and bellow at the door when what few hear naturally didn't catch his whispered musings."Anyone fecking home?!"
