Description: Team Black, you are the fourth party to leave today, you are expected to arrive at the gates and depart late this afternoon. The sky is a vividly orange colour, the rain that occurred earlier this morning has completely gone, though little puddles can still be seen about you and the grass is still lightly wet, the leaves of the surrounding trees also. Along with the absence of rain, the breeze has softened to but a gentle whisper through the air, gently caressing the trees as they emanate a harmonious whistle. After several hours of dashing through the forest you’ll stumble upon a cliffside which has somewhat of a side-view of an actual castle building attached. Though the structure is rather peculiar, 4 large vertically aligned doors, the first being the bottom floor with the fourth at the very top approximately 20 yards above. Each of the paths seemed to lead deeper into the cliffside, strangely enough; the large metal door at the bottom seemed to have scorch marks, evidently revealing that others have attempted to force the door open, yet to no avail. Yet as you step forth, you’ll come to notice that the topmost door would exhume some laser-like mechanic which sought not to harm, but to rather detect whatever presence remained just outside the base, for the door would only open once a minimum of 4 people have been hit by the scan. Any attempts to avoid the scan would prove detrimental as the entrance would be delayed in opening, yet should it come in contact with the base minimum of 4 signatures, the top most door would seem to unlatch, smoke emitting from the door as a metallic staircase descends. Upon entering through the door, the door would swing shut swiftly and anything caught within the middle would be crushed by the pressure of the 2 metallic doors, the door would only shut once everyone had entered. The interior of the cave would seem technologically advanced for this day and age and from the walls, to the roof and even the floor would be covered in purely metal, attached to the walls are and endless amounts of glass cases within each would seem to be an abomination of technology, failed robotic structures, each appearance varying from one another. With every step you’d feel the ominous sense that these robotic beings are staring up at you, though whenever you turned back they would seem deactivated and instilled as they were when you first entered. Slight boxes separated 10 yards apart would prove to be your light source, which would glow every time a presence was sensed and deactivate once the 4 nearby presences have left, limiting your vision to only the objects in your immediate space. Edited by HokageSenju 22:49, March 27, 2016 *Clownfishie For such a promising look within the sky, she felt indifferent with a dash of nervous—Finalized and last, standing before the gate, the snowy-white haired female known as Kinshi Senju waited for her team to appear, her naturally being early. Looking up the sky, it was rather beautiful, the orange and peach painted behind the white clouds that were formerly grey looked so lovely, too bad it stopped raining but maybe it was best for the mood of everyone.. Rain made people feel depressed. After listening to the recording of details of the mission, the details of just about everything the descend enemy Shinobi had to offer, she was unsure the outcome of what could happen. From her normal ware and all her gear she naturally had, she was as prepared as she could be.. But noone could ever be prepared for what they were going to be dealing with. It was almost concerning what could happen, but atleast she knew what she was working with and what possibities she was going against—Team Black was the final team to leave and needed to advance to the cliffside through the forest, so she was told. She almost felt a bit better when she remembered the faith intrusted to her by her father, who was being more of a father than the Hokage at the moment.

Waiting the three members of her team, she would have told them the following '‘I am Kinshi Senju, the jōnin of the team. I wish everyone luck and a safe return’'—Awaiting any questions in return. Zeshin made these things look easy, but she was concerned about everyone and everything.. What happens if she wasn’t good enough..? She didn’t show it on her face, but she was just nervous, she was a just that type of person, she always had to be her best. Remembering a few things to ease her, she was a ninja of the Senju clan, she was a rarity that could use ‘Wood release’ and she had information about the forces she was going to go against.. The Leaf was strong and held a thing called the will of fire.. No mater what, they would win over impossible odds, the leaf will be strong and will always rise. 18:49, March 28, 2016 A splash of water flew up around his feet with each quick step over the rooftops of Konoha; his figure like a raven dancing in the wind with how his long black robe swayed around his lithe frame. It looked effortless how he pushed off the edge off a roof and flew through the air, arms out wide, and made landing on a lower roof close to the large gateway of the hidden leaf. He had already seen her as he dashed one final time and vaulted through the air before landing on one knee, a fist touching the ground while his long bangs floated past his face and he looked up at her from the corner of his eyes.
 * HokageSenju 

Unforeseen reasons had made it impossible for them to do what they had agreed upon, last night, but a new plan was already set in motion. Though that didn’t matter today as the Leaf ninja were sent out to face a much greater threat than personal problems.

Kei’s disinterested gaze turned away from Kinshi, as he stood up and brushed some dust off his robe. Not a word shared in conversation as he waited for their ‘Team black’ to gather.

 As the wind toyed with his low ponytail he’d close his eyes and inhale with a deadly calm. –Two Chokuto, two scrolls with shuriken, two smoke bombs, two explosive bombs.- With everything in order his eyelids parted to reveal emotionless precision as he’d be ready and set to leave at a moment’s notice. Edited by HokageSenju 19:31, March 28, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga The sound of rushing footsteps accompanied her every movement as she rounded the corner of the shop. Her heart was racing. She was excited and nervous at the same time. The morning had been a glorious rain storm that made her smile. She had played in it earlier and felt refreshed. She remembered the spar that she had with that boy in the rain that one time. It made her smile slightly thinking about it. The bruising around her eye had faded to just about a yellow color and also the bruising at her chin was about the same as well. She couldn’t wait for those things to be gone. Now her footsteps splashed in the puddles while her black hair was in a high pony tail that bounced off her shoulders.

She rounded the corner and came to a sliding stop as the smile that was on her face slid slowly off. Seeing the black hair. The black jacket. The chokuto. It caused her to sigh a bit. Both times she had seen this boy, she had been the one that had come out on the losing end. He was the one to give her this bruising that was taking so long for it to go away. Wrapping her arms around her chest, she took her slow steps towards the boy and the new woman that she hadn’t seen before.

With her hand up, she smiled softly to the both of them and waved to them. ‘Good afternoon.” Her mind went through the items that she had packed. four Kunai, eight senbon, and her first aid kit that she had freshly repacked for this trip. She had packed one extra thing, a pack of eight pork dumplings for later. Her eyes looked from the boy she had known and the woman she didn’t know. 20:16, March 28, 2016
 * Saiko Reborn "Laaaate! WE ARE SO LAAATE!" howled the male as he rocketed over the fence separating the fores of death from the rest of the world. he was dressed in a grey trench coat, much like the one his brother Tsukikiba wore. His hair was monochrome white compared to Tsu's dual toned black and white but just as wild and unruly. Encircling his left eye, in the pattern of a five-point star were scarlett Inuzuka fang-shaped markings rather than on each of his cheeks. His shinobi arsenal was the same as his brother's : one kunai, one smoke bomb and one paper tag. Tey each carried two ration pills and two shuriken. And while they each carried a pair of chakra enhanced claws only Tsukikiba carried a pair of echo speakers.  Over his shoulder was a squirming, writhing rucksack that he delivered a few swift punches to until it stopped moving. "Shh, this is for your own good.." murmured Hoshitsume. As the male darted through the town his pale flesh caught the light and seemed almost translucent. His feet, bare as they were, didn't leave a single foot print in the dirt as he ran. It was almost as if he were gliding, but who knew?

"Crap!" cried out the canine-like shinobi, his emerald gaze scanning the human road block. " Gah, it had to be market day, right? Really? C'MON ON!  I..do NOT. HAVE. TIME FOR THIS!" bringing up his free left hand, the male made a single half seal and began sinking into the earth. Within moments his hiding like a mole jutsu had him completely submerged. He couldn't tear his way through them, so he'd go under.

Knowing the route to take, he emerged with fifteen minutes to spare and deposited the sack on the ground with a heave. A loud 'oomph!' could be heard from within. Stepping away immediately after cutting the cord that bound the sack shut, Hoshi turned to greet the others on their hunting party, "Heya folks.." he started, his voice low and almost a growl. Dropping into a crouch and bouncing on the balls of his feet the male pulled the sack down around it's contents to reveal his brother, dazed, but ok.

"He was looking for his flute. I told him we were gunna be late, but now, he just had to have it. so I bopped him on the head, stuffed him in the sa--urk!" Hoshi was cut off as an ebony-sleeved arm snapped out up and grabbed him by the throat.

Clearing his throat, Tsukikiba rose to a crouch to mirror Hoshi's while retaining his grip, " As my idiot brother was saying, whats going on? A Senju? Whoa..you must be a real badass at ninjutsu! I hear you clan has some of the only people to ever master all five basic natures..thats so wicked!" His golden hued gaze shone with excitement as he took in the team. "Our favorite Hyuuga, A Senju..and..*sniffsniff* I'm not sure..but I think I just may have heard of you through the genin grapevine. Zeshin Uchiha? From the descriptions I've heard..that is the cloak.. Man I'm on a team with some of the most powerful clans in Konoha..I kinda feel a little overwhelmed, ehe~ Anyway, whats our main objective? Any particular rules of engagement or can we go wild? I'm eager to get started!"

His grip remained on the other male's throat during the entire conversation and Tsuki couldn't help but wonder if Kinshi had read his file, if she knew what his brother really was. it didn't matter either way, but it made for a great prank.

"Urk-urg S-Sorry.." came the grunted apology from Hoshi, triggering his release. Rubbing is throat he smiled over at Hitomi and gave her a wink, bringing his index finger to his lips and giving her a silent 'Shhh'. 21:14, March 29, 2016
 * Clownfishie Black team was made of a total four, one was Kei Uchiha, One was hyuuga she read about, one was a mutt user and than there was her, as the leader—Upon her waving, greeting them with the words of her name being, she would brief about their mission. “We are leaving the Leaf to stop a foe, there may or may not be innocent bystanders—Use your best judgement for the situation, understand we have to protect Konohagakure at a cost, remember that. Stay close, let's go.” She said, being the best words she could give them—She wasn’t telling them it was okay to kill, but she was telling them there maybe hard choices for them. Upon these words she offered, her aqualit eyes looked to each one of them as she nodded, with that nod she turned her back to them as the gate before them opened for them to depart. With Kinshi leading the way in a dash that even the slowest on the team could follow, awhile not being too fast to where they tired themselves out—Or anyone else for that matter. From dashing through mud and puddles, through tall grass and up rocks, they were on their way to the checkpoint they had to destroy—Brushing along their skin, bushes still holding droplets graced along the bodies that rushed through. In this moment, she was questioning her faith within herself and her team, attempting to get all this out of her system before it was to be the end of her—Every-so often, she would pulse her ability to sense chakra or life rather, to make sure each one them were following accordingly.

It would’ve been quite a few hours in their travel, but it seemed the end of their adventure was near as the team would see in the distance an end in the path—A cliffside that appeared to hold a castle-like built into it, being both unique and weird in structure. Taking a moment to pause, this moment for all of the team to get a moment of breath, like a four second breather—As soon as this breather was allowed, Kinshi looked upon around even more to take in more detail, there were four weird doors. It was technologically advanced beyond the normal means of ‘technology’ in this day and age, atleast she noticed when she walked closer—Motioning towards this door in a slow and careful pace, she spotted scorch marks, no doubt from someone else trying to bust in before them, but this was on a higher door. She didn’t quite know what to expect and she didn’t like walking into the unknown, she desired not to get everyone killed, but they had to make progress—As she moved closer, she was greeted by a red laser light that beamed down towards her and almost caused her to have a heartattack. “Seems we are here..” She said, expecting everyone to be near her and follow her. Thankfully, she didn’t know how to scream and also knew how to keep a composed facial expression, because she would’ve appeared shocked and maybe screamed a little—Little to her knowledge it required everyone to be near it, so if all four members of the party, even the mutt(who counts as a four), the door would open. As each people was to group by the door, everyone, as a team would advance in with Kinshi leading the way into the pretty spooky-poor choices she was making in her life—Upon Kinshi stepping her first foot through the door, she instantly reached her back to her pouched and grabbed a kunai with a paper bomb wrapped to it, leaving her with three, if she wasn’t mistaken. The heel of her boot would grace the metallic flooring, her pace would not be slow, but careful and her pace was considered moderate and compared to casually walking. Her hearing listening out for anything abnormal, as her ability as a sensory-nin would sense for any signs of life abnormal from her group—Her nervous nature would cease, as her instinctive nature of a ninja would kick in. This was a foreign area, no doubt enemy territory and the last thing she wanted to deal with is being off guard. 03:17, March 30, 2016
 * HokageSenju Walking into the unusual metal hallway, Kei looked dead ahead as he followed behind the others. He took the sheathe of one of the two Chokuto on his back, in his right hand, and moved it to his right hip where a sword would normally rest. Then, while placing his left hand over the hilt of his sword, Kei would activate his Sharingan while looking around at the random structures that graced the wall. He remembered that the information provided to all teams spoke of a foe with a metal body of sorts; almost like puppets but far more advanced.



If he’d see any chakra signatures he wouldn’t warn the team but instead kept focus on what it was, trying to discern possible danger. If not then he’d just keep on walking and de-activate the Sharingan. Waiting for whatever was to come on their path as surely someone was waiting for them and expecting them due to the scanner outside

He wasn’t really startled by the closing of the door behind them. In his eyes everything had a weak point but he guessed that the best choice to find a way out was by going forward. 20:11, March 30, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The Hyuga child was happy to have her dog-boy with her on this journey. She trusted him with her life and knew that him and Hoshi would be at her side and at her back should she need them to be. It was nice to have members of her team with her. Her eyes then looked back the rest of the group and she had taken a deep breath while they walked towards the unusual metal hallway. At least now she knew how two of the people in her group were able to fight. She was not a fighter. It had been apparent with everyone that she had sparred against. They were all able to beat her. Even her training had been harder to just make it so she could try and make it through things and get out of it alive.

<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps it was because she was scared. Perhaps it was because she wanted to know what was in front of them, but her hands became a flutter of seals. Eight of them to be exact. She had been able to activate her Byakugan slowly with less and less hand seals. A fact that she had been proud of. Yet for some reason, she held off on making the last seal. She knew that if she activated it, that would be an indication that there was someone there. Like the many times that she felt when Dante had or when he felt her activate it. *Steady…* She thought to herself. She heard the movements of Kei and looked to him for a moment before she looked to her side and felt the small reassurance of Tsukikiba and Hoshi being there.

<p class="MsoNormal">Silently she looked to Kei and felt that in some way she was expecting to be treated like the annoyance by him like her brother had countless times. However, that thought left her when she heard the slamming of the doors behind them. Her eyes went wide and she jumped startled. It took everything she had not to let out a slight scream. She felt embarrassed about it. How was it that everyone else in her group could be so indifferent about a situation that was truly terrifying? She continued to look about. Her hands still at the ready to create that last seal that she would be needing to activate her Byakugan.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Her thoughts then went to her brother. Did he take the first aid kit that she had put together for him? The extra food just in case? Was he alright? Her lips pressed together as she then pushed those thoughts from her mind. Things like that would get her killed in a situation like this. She had to remember that. Once more her eyes looked about. It was beginning to look like a creepy puppet show gone horribly wrong in this place. It made her feel very uneasy and she stepped a bit closer to Tsukikiba just to try and settle her nerves a bit; hoping that the friendly presence would help to soothe her a bit as they continued to move forward. 09:51, March 31, 2016
 * Saiko Reborn <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">The Inuzuka brothers were silent te entire journey to their destintation save for a few low growls and grumbles that one could only decipher as animal speak. Dog-speak maybe? They had lost track of time, taking in all the scents that had passed on this very route.

Tsuki was hoping to pick up anything that might indicate traps ahead while Hoshi kept their back clear. It was only once they came to the doorway that the boyz felt anything. For Tsu is was determination to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible, meaning minimal screw up and distractions. With oshi at his side however, he was going to have o worry about his Twin's habit of hunting for excitement and adventure! What the human inuzuka didn't realize was that his brother shared an exact and opposite opinion. Hoshi considred himself the responsible one and Tsu the fool.

No sooner at the doors slamemd just did both wide children drop to all fours. Hoshi began hunting for a sent along the ground, his ear to the floor as he crawled about on all fours, moving like some kind of mutated hunting crab while Tsu flell to Hitmoi's side to place a clawed hand upon her shoulder, mumblng a single phrase, " Focus on the mission..." As if he could read her throughts. Infact, this was not true. He'd simply vaught sight of her hand seals.

"Activate that ability and you show our hand, Lady Fumaaa." came Hoshi's voice from the ground, having picked up what his brother was trying to do. "We don't want them knowing we have a fuin jutsu ecpert with us.if the find out that we are here for the.." Hoshi was silenced by a growl from Tsukikiba, noting the 'scene' was over.

"SIlence, you know that my and your presence here is in an observational status only..we aren't allowed to get involved if a fight breaks out...so shush, are you trying to bring the plce down on our heads?"

He spoke low, but loud enough to be 'overheard' by technology or jutsu that gave one clairaudience in an attempt to disguise their true purpose. That door had opened either automatically or after given a signal from within. That meant there was ab out a fifty percent chance that their presence was already detected. UNless the entir eplace was automated, in which case he'd feel like a fool.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Slipping from Hitomi's side to join his sibling, Tsu took in the airborn scents of the place. It was almost antiseptic in its sterile nature. Stale aire? Or maybe just an infrequently used catacomb? or worse yet, were his nerves finally getting to him? This was his first real mission, and he really didn't want to die, so for now he and his companion positioned themselves so that one stood just behind the Jounin and one took up the rear after pulling up their hoods, leaving the only distinguishing difference being the color of said coats, all but undiscernabe in this gloom. 15:13, April 1, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Something seemed peculiar as both the Jounin and the Uchiha analyse their surrounding area, what seemed most peculiar was the faint chakra surrounding them, each of the glowing cubic light sources consisted of chakra, of course, though within each of the technological abominations there was a faint signature of chakra within also. For those observing the abominations without the purpose to analyse for any suspicious means, each machine’s face plate seemed to express emotion, though gloomy and unhappy it seemed far too humane for just mere machines and every so often, they’d make a sound familiar to someone groaning in pain, whilst the scarce few others seemed to have a hand or claw placed along the glass casing as though they’re reaching out for help.

<p class="MsoNormal">As for the dual Inuzuka siblings, throughout the sterile and stale air there’s but a light mixture, though almost impossible to ascertain exactly what the mixed scent might be, it is somewhat familiar, the scent itself is a mixture of blood amidst the clean, fresh and sterilised air, which to those without the capable nose of a hound or a sense of smell similar to that of a hound, it’d be impossible to discern. Aside from the depressing scenery of unhappy machines almost pleading for help, the sounds of faint metallic clanking can be heard, although too faint to comprehend what it might be, it is the only significant clue amongst the metal hallway.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> 22:18, April 1, 2016
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Maybe, this wasn’t serious to the two genin, but it appeared it was serious enough for Kei and herself—She was not fazed the doors closes behind her, but it’ll make an escape problematic, specially if this place was going to crash down, which wasn’t ruled out. As a sensory-nin, she felt each source around her, from the light that held itself dim to even the abominations whom held themselves as strong as a flickering flame—Painted upon their face, sorrow or despair was found and thus, Kinshi did not believe they were ‘merely’ technological abominations; like humans made into puppets, maybe these machines were once human beings. Holding her paper bomb wrapped kunai a bit tighter, it was disappointing and inhumane, the idea of others using beings for test subject annoyed her to no end and, she felt as if these abominations may become an issue. As her aqualit eyes scanned around her in the areas she could see, the neverending dreary and depressive scenery of silent pleading of help—As to where she couldn’t see, she allowed her ability to sense to filter through in fourty feet in radius, she didn’t quite like surprises, in this case, she would really hate one. As far as her sensory skills go, Kinshi didn’t over-cast her range nor under-cast it, between her teammates and herself, she already had a ‘feel’ for them and tracked them accordingly, however, anything other without proper means would be noticed within her sensory ability, as per anything around her that was now the fou--Five of them, she’d take notice.

As each one advanced deeper into the unknown territory of the enemy whom homed itself around technology, Kinshi had assumed that with all that around her, no doubt someone knew they were here, but it didn’t mean they should be loud and should simply expect anything, hearing faith sounds of something.. Something like metallic clanking and being the direction they were going—As Kinshi was the lead in this, she didn’t desire to travel too far within the depths of this place, without an idea of what was possibly before them, and limited on some aspects, the best thing she found herself doing was testing the ninkin’s ability. As her moderate pace slowed down, she looked over her shoulder to the Inuzuka; her aqualit eyes staring towards his general direction, her pale lips parting as she spoke towards him.'“Hoshitsume. You are a ninkin, and most importantly an animal with higher senses in aspects of me. If you hear or smell anything that stands out, being abnormal or interesting, no matter how ‘silly’; you need to share it. If you have yet to do so. I desire you to use your senses to point out anything that may seem different or off within the distance; the longer we are here, the worst things will get. You may have to focus on a scent, I requirement you focus on the differences. Thus, in the end. You may need to lead the way.”' Kinshi had stated, her voice being low in tone, but loud enough for the Inuzuka two to hear, and possibly the latters such as Kei and Hitomi—Keeping her attention focused around her, both in hearing, sight and sensory.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Giving the pair an option, if they desired to do as Kinshi requested, the team would be following the ninkin and it’s ‘owner’ towards whatever they smell or hear—Within the same orders, she found herself giving Kei a bit of mind within an ideal plan for an exit, by far she was not the type fo flee, but she couldn’t expect everyone else to be on point like her and thus, she took their lives in consideration. '“Kei. You have an easier time in seeing things I cannot; also keep an exit in mind. Also. Hitomi. If you feel fearful, scared or nervous, just know I won’t let harm come to you, so long as I breathe, however I need you to be focus and calm, not just for your sake, but those around you.”'Knowing that Kei could use Sharingan, due to being a witness of the good ol'fun genjutsu, but as a user, he had the ability to register things a bit slow, despite how fast she was and, with her faith in Kei and, see things alot different; she also didn’t feel the instinctual need to keep him in his mind as much as Hitomi, Hoshitsume and Tsukikiba—Going as far as to make Hitomi feel a bit better about the depressive-situation and the possible dangers; ensuring her safety. As the team motioned deeper into the depths, Kinshi found herself trying to be prepared for anything and everything, but she could everything was impossible, but being ready kept people alive. 22:26, April 2, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">“Yes Sensei.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Kei nodded in simple compliance with his superior’s orders as a Genin was supposed to do and kept his eyes focused on their surroundings in order to try and find out anything being out of the ordinary; as far as ordinary goes in this mecha-maniac house of horrors.

<p class="MsoNormal">He’d also make sure to look behind him every now and then to make sure they weren’t followed by something like an army of the small robotic beings that held a look in their eyes not all too unfamiliar to Kei.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I believe there might be more to these creations than the eye can tell. There is chakra inside them and their expressions are like humans. I’m guessing they are self-functioning puppets or perhaps something far more dark.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Keeping further thoughts to himself, Kei continued to follow along and de-activated his sharingan for the time being so as not to overexert himself before it was needed although he’d be ready to re-activate it at a moment’s notice whenever the situation called for it. Plus with all of the other sensing abilities in their group they should be able to sense whatever lay ahead way before encountering it. For now this seemed like a waiting game, which Kei didn’t mind, as he patiently walked along with his cold stare focused dead ahead. 00:19, April 3, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The Huyga child felt the hand of her friend and smiled a bit. The words from Tsuki and Hoshi were what she needed. Slowly, she placed her hands down but kept them ready just in case they were needed. The uneasy feeling was not seeming to go away though. Her eyes then looked to the Jounin that was leading them. Pressing her lips together, she gave a nod as she looked to her. She felt like the weak person on the team and looked to her team mates a moment. They each were so sure of themselves. But she gave a nod and looked up from the ground.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Her eyes looked to the abominations and she couldn’t help but feel sorry for them in some way. They looked so sad. It tugged at her heart a bit. “why are you so sad?” She just about whispered out loud. She’d move to stand in front of one that held its hand on the glass and tried to keep herself from reaching out to touch upon the other side of the glass. The painful groans only added to the idea that they were unhappy and the young Hyuga tilted her head a bit. She heard Kei and spoke softly. “They could very well be. But a puppet wouldn’t be sad or sound as if in pain...” She turned and looked to Kei with a tilted head. “…would it?” Her eyes looking to the rest of them as if posing the question to them as well. 01:43, April 3, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">“H-h-help…” a soft pained voice spoke from one of the surrounding glass cases about you, yet if anyone made the attempt to find the source of the voice, you’d find but a mere multitude of these peculiar creations pressing hard against the glass, all of which reach out towards you. Their features still pleading, their eyes, although dry you’d be able to tell that if they could, they’d be weeping, constant pained groans emanating from each, all of which seemingly desperate to be saved. Then, the glass shatters on one, the creature within falls onto the floor and crawls over towards your team, arm outreached.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Help” it’d speak in its cybernetic voice, the metallic screech could be heard as it dragged its poor, almost immobile body across the floor, its own metal plating scraping against the metal floor and its expression seemed to display sincerity. However, something peculiar about the machine, something within its core there is a bright, vivid, red light illuminating, flickering so as it continued to hobble closer. As it continued in its endeavour to catch up to your team, the floor shifts, beneath the Inuzuka brothers, it simply opens a chasm from which they fall and the further they fall, the less you hear from them.

<p class="MsoNormal">As for the Kinshi, the plating on either side of you, in front and behind open up, a multitude of tethers shoot forth from these openings the instance they open in an attempt to latch onto you. For Kei, metallic hands sprout from either side of you, hoping grasp at your ankles whilst in front of you, arises a machine, unlike the other abominations, this one appears more inhumane, aside from its 2 humanoid arms on either side of it, from its back protrude 2 limbs which at each end consists of claw-like tools. Its arms reach to grab at you whilst if captured, the tools would reach forth to remove your eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal">Something similar occurs with Hitomi, though from behind and in front arises 2 machines whilst the side shoot forth the tethers, which attempted to latch onto the Hitomi whilst the one from behind attempted to restrain the young female and in the one before her would seek to retrieve her eyes. If the attempted restraints failed in their attempts, the machines would disengage and enter into more of a combative state.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Die here” spoke each of the more inhumane machines whilst the one upon the floor seemed to freeze, its expression no longer that of pleading for assistance but more so frightened of what has arisen from the floor.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> 22:21, April 3, 2016
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">It wasn’t left to assume and as far as Kinshi was concerned, the creations around her were unknown and thus considered a problem or a tool for the enemies means of tiring the group out—As she trailed behind the mutt and it’s owner, Kinshi heard the sounds of someone, or rather something, pleading for help; Kinshi being the type who believed anything outside her squad would be a problem, wanted to ignore such sounds. It appeared they were coming closer to the sound, which was followed by shatters of glass and a creature scraping across the floor to make it towards her team—This is the moment Kinshi’s attention had turned towards this robotic voice calling for ‘help’, a call for ‘help’. “Don’t go near tha—....” She said in a haste, but had stopped—She didn’t trust it at all, before her eyes could rendered the events unfolding before her, the Inuzuka brothers fell into a hole of some. As simultaneously as the two of her team had fell, Kinshi heard the sounds of platforms opening—Before and behind her, holes opened that unleashed tethers to entangle her. As a means of pure reaction, Kinshi kicked herself off the floor, jumping upward into the air; with all her strength and speed, which may have been enough to dent the flooring and make herself look like she was a speeding bullet—She didn’t allow it to process as it should’ve. Her body was launched upward, in both speed and force—She didn’t quite pay attention to the ones behind her, but she hoped they would entangle with eachother, as the time she launched off, they were already pretty close but just in case any of those choose to hook onto her. She’ll simply have to slash them with all the strength her arms offered, and sever them. Somewhere within her high jump, Kinshi would’ve extended her free hand with chakra glowing off it to stick to the ceiling and than use her feet to stand upon it, with her chakra flow channeling as a means of sticking here there as she looked towards the ground—She had means of breaking out of the entanglement if she had been caught, but she didn’t want to burn out her chakra. If there were too many, Kinshi would be forced to turn into mud(Mud body technique), which would consume a bit of her chakra, and she’ll have to reform on the ceiling; having her mud body basically faze around and out of it’s grab.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">By means of her sensory senses, she could already tell Kei and Hitomi were having their own issues, but before she could offer her help towards them, she had to deal with the problems coming towards her. between Kei and Hitomi, Kinshi had faith they could deal with themselves—As per the two that just perished, well, there goes her guinea pigs. It was within the moment Kinshi ‘landed’ on the ceiling she heard the that friendly voice say something on the lines of ‘die here’. It was no longer friendly, which caused a bit of concern. 02:35, April 5, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;margin-top:0px!important;">Kei would find himself grabbed by powerful hands that didn’t feel human; they were cold. Thus he was effectively kept in place while an unusual apparatus arose from the ground and moved to grab his arms only so two additional claws could come for his eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;">He’d simply stand there, seemingly waiting to be finished, until in the last possible moment his eyes flashed red and the sharingan came into activation as his chakra set out to do what it usually did during a genjutsu, though things went a bit differently this time around.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;">Whereas he normally infiltrates the targets cerebral nervous system, he now entered the electric circuits running through these machines. Just like the human nervous system, these creation would be controlled through electronical impulses. However, unlike the human nervous system, there would be far less of these impulses and also they’d move in a far less chaotic pattern which made using genjutsu fa easier. Not only that, but all of the creations seemed to be linked or controlled by a mainframe, if so then Kei would access this mainframe rather than just the robot in front of him, before using his genjutsu to completely paralyze it in human terms while in robot terms it’d simply be known as –Error: 356, server shut down.-. The usage of the shackling stakes technique allowed Kei to perform it without eye contact although eye contact would most likely be sufficient for him to enter the robot in front of him due to the complexity being a unthinkable amount less than that of the human brain; but if not sufficient he’d merely use the technique without eye contact which would drain him of a good amount of chakra and sent a sharp pain through his eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;margin-bottom:0px!important;">He then took his sword out of its sheathe and channeled wind chakra through it before cutting himself free and jumping up to the side to stand on the wall in order to not have to deal with anymore holes in the ground as he waited for the others before moving on. 15:34, April 5, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">No sooner did the words come out of her mouth as a question, did Hitomi see the metal creature pull its self across the ground. It caused a startled gasp to come across her lips. The sound of help tugged at her heart but still she took a few steps back from it.

<p class="MsoNormal">Then a sound that caused her eyes to go wide and a slap of fear shoot through her like nothing else. The yelp of Hoshi. Her hands went into a flurry of eight seals and upon the last one, she spoke firmly. “Byakugan!” The corners of her eyes strained as the veins enlarged and her pupils dilated giving her near 360 degree vision. She’d watch her best friends be taken from her. Her mind started to scream while all that came from her was the quivering of her bottom lip and two tears that streamed down from the corners of her eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal">Clamp! Clamp! That sound was enough to knock her out of the haze of emotion that she had been sucked into. *Focus on the mission…* *Hitomi, if you feel fearful, scared or nervous, just know I won’t let harm come to you as long as I breathe, however I need you to be focused and calm.* Her mind played out those two voices while she saw the flashing of metal coming towards her. She’d take a slow breath out and begin to focus. *I’m being counted on…* She thought to herself as she counted backwards silently. *''Four. Three''.* She waited and watched as more metal came out from around her. She’d feel her arms be tethered at different points. Each point focused upon while her eyes kept forward towards the one bot that was coming towards her with the intent of retrieving her eyes. Her chakra continued to build up as she remained calm and focused as she was told to. *''Two. One''.* Closer still the robots had come and at the very last moment with them as close as she could bear them to be, she’d perform One Body Blow, forcing chakra from her body at a tremendous force to collide with the binds. From the tether points around her arms, she’d hear the snapping and splitting of the metal. The shackles at her ankles snapped at the hinges and flew off her ankles. The metal clanking as it hit the ground.

<p class="MsoNormal">With her small frame and agility, she coated the bottom of her feet with a thin layer of chakra and dashed from between the two robots. She’d reach into her side pouch and pull out six senbon. Her eyes focused upon the robots and tried to work out how their electrical system would relate to a nervous system. *There has to be a ‘brain’.* Her eyes looked over the machines and a smile crossed her lips as she had found the main juncture where all other points led to.

<p class="MsoNormal">Using the same technique to coat the bottoms of her feet with chakra for added speed, she did that with her hands. She needed these senbon to move fast enough that they would penetrate through metal. With well-aimed throws, she’d throw the senbon one at a time towards the two robots. Her hands moving in a blur of motion while she ran one over the other, launching the metal spears through the weak points in the robots’ metal armor. Each aimed to the main juncture point with the intent of frying out the system and short circuiting them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She’d then leap onto the top of one of the robot’s cases and look to Kei a moment. Her expression walking the line of asking him if he was alright before looking up to their leader, Kinshi. 17:52, April 5, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The 3 inhumane machines had come to a halt, whilst the one crawling amongst the floor seemed somewhat confused why they had come to a standstill, the 3 robots were connected to a single mind, though not quite the mainframe, was a hive collective Artificial Intelligence which manipulated the 3, upon the Genjutsu’s activation, not only did the machines come to a stop, but the tethers beneath the floor seemed to have been rendered inactive as they slowly descended back into the holes from whence they came. However, upon the activation of the Byakugan, other than noticing the inactive machine beneath the floor, attached to the multitude of tethers, whilst behind the walls along the side you’ll come to notice that whilst not all, the majority of the abominations are tethered to a machine behind them.

<p class="MsoNormal">Upon the deactivation of the machines, every third abomination’s head shot up simultaneously, standing upright and away from the glass, their optics would turn red, you’ll also come to notice that down the hallway a multitude of red lights symbolising the abominations that continue down the hall have also done the same. Each of the machines reaches out to shatter the glass with their fists, stepping from their glass confinement, Hitomi would notice that they aren’t attached a collective hive mind as the previous 3 were, but are instead programmed by the machine they are tethered to. Yet the sheer immense numbers swarm the team of shinobi, each charging at the group with the intent to capture the Genin of the team whilst attempting to kill the Jounin.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Die” the word would echo along the dark, despairing depths of the hallway.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> 23:34, April 5, 2016
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Upon the tethers retracting back to the ground, she hopped down from the ceiling back to the ground, doing a flip to land feet first and landing infront of Kei—Her aqualit eyes staring towards Kei and then Hitomi, it seemed both could handle themselves well.. But before she could find herself getting their status, she felt moving within the distance and she guessed they weren’t going to give breathing room; her sensory skill paying heavy attention.“Absolutely fucking not.” The Senju said being hostile, her two hands coming together has the kunai was pressed between her palms as her fingers formed the ‘snake’ hand seal, her body turned to look down the hallway, the sounds of glass breaking had echo’d—Upon the word ‘Absolutely’, chakra had started to expelled from her body in a form of dozens dancing showy-white ribbons. Almost in the same instance, around Hitomi, Kei and herself, from the floor to the walls and this place’s ceiling, it started to shake—Below Kinshi’s feet rose many thick tree trunks, from the walls were many thick like vines and from the ceiling were blossoming flowers in the color of pink, red and blue. Staring against the aqualit eyes of a Senju calling upon a forest, a sea of many red eyes found themselves about to be bound by the force of her ‘wood release’. Increasing the area of ‘Wood Release: Nativity of a Sea of Trees’ to yards beyond her and it’s speed of growth, she was going to cause every object to get bound by limbs of the forest; vines or trees, didn’t matter.. She was going to stop them from getting close.

From the first two rows of robots to even thing about advancing towards the group in a charge would be caught by the following, the strong trucks grown before Kinshi would motion forward by the dozen, gift wrapping any robot it came across and bind it in a squeeze, from any robots behind these rows would find themselves having the very ground underneath them shooting limps up in a four inch vine to bind them in their place, squeezing whatever life they had to a stand still—As for the vines on the walls around Kinshi, they would simply grow to the point any robots behind the glass would be bound in place to cease any possible conflict within many meters. Activated in sheer seconds, filled by the chakra, control and determination of Kinshi, she increased the range to be yards down the hallway and speed of growth being seconds—She didn’t mind the amount of chakra she was blowing, if she had to use ‘wood release’, she was going to use it to it’s fullest; destroying and claiming all in her way. In simultaneous events, circling around Black Team, thick tree trucks rose and circled them like a tent, a home of protection with little gaps to allow views between the team and everything outside the ‘tent’, a single opening being infront of Kinshi—Guarding them from all angles behind the one Kinshi watched, the tent would attempt to wrap around anyone that came close, even her teammates if they were to touch it from the outside, entangling anyone in vines and limbs with a force to almost crush.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">In the end, this hallway was nothing more than a jungle that Kinshi had just claimed with her ‘wood release’—Within seconds, this hallway would become a forest. Fully bloomed trees ‘merging’ with the robots, to the flowers shining so blessedly along the ceiling and the vines along the walls claiming those in a sleep to stay that way; even patches of grass could be found—Around the team, Kinshi held herself trying to protect the two members she had left; using the power of a true Senju. As for consequence of doing what she did, the amount of chakra used for this technique was not on the level of a ‘A-rank’ anymore, it was now a ‘S-rank’ and was far lesser in power to that of hiden jutsu of the Senju, she just had to modify it to fit this—Sweating from her body, it was the purest form of water awhile her hair became soaked and droplets of water fell from the ends of her hair due to the collection of water; she looked like it almost got done swimming, but in actuality, this was just something her body did when so much chakra left her body at a time. It almost seemed flawless in her usage, but in actuality, she may have to pay the price for using this too soon—'“Kei. Your go.”' She said, in a shaky voice, she wasn’t sure if she got them all, maybe missing one or two; falling forward on a knee, her hands separated with her palm pressing against the patch grass that formed under her, panting in heavy breaths at first. 21:36, April 6, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;margin-top:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Kei quickly formed a set of handseals before holding his fingers in front of his lip while making the tiger seal as he told the others to “Move back.” Before spewing out a large flamethrower of wide flames that moved dead ahead through the narrow hallway while incinerating all of the trees and wildlife to completely melt and destroy all of the robots and most likely a prime part of their surroundings as the flames would continue to feed on the life-giving wood.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Eventually the heat would also come back towards them and send burning roots falling down. One of them almost landed on the dark-dressed boy who unsheathed his sword and cut the root into seven smaller sections within a short moment of time as he was then seen jumping through the ashes and black smoke.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;margin-bottom:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">He knew that they couldn’t afford wasting more time as everything burned down around them and he began dashing through the nightmarish route ahead. Dashing left and right to avoid the falling tree limbs that fell down before finally using the body flicker in order to move his body under a large root, with enough speed to kill some of the flames, and he re-appeared at the end of the hallway, out of the burning carnage that’d continue to deliver wreckage to the area behind him; possibly causing everything, including the roof, to completely collapse in which case he’d continue to move in order to remain safe while burning objects rained down from the ceiling 18:31, April 7, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Hitomi was in awe at what she saw under the floor and behind the walls as she jumped down onto the floor.. “It’s all a giant machine..” She said as her eyes looked up to the sound of breaking glass. In an instant, she’d seen the forest come up around her and the others of her group. Her eyes looked to their leader and watched her bring forth a forest around them. It was something that she had never seen before. But she’d talk about it later with her when her attention was brought back to what was going on hearing Kei.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">She’d take a few steps back and stand behind the boy as she watched him send a flame from his mouth and engulf everything that was around them. Her eyes went wide seeing everything burning. Branches falling. Roots being uplifted. Then Kinshi being on the ground on her knees with everything that she had done. The place was beginning to come in around them and the fire was burning hot. The Hyuga child ran to stand next to the woman and began to spin. Faster and faster the child spun until her features to the onlooker would be nothing but a blur and then she began. Evenly and steadily, she began to expel chakra from all points of her body to create the shielding orb around both of the females until the woman on the floor could stand on her own without worrying about her legs giving out on her. Branches and roots fell on the orb and was flung away with it’s spinning. Clanging and smashing was heard from the debris that flung off the spinning protective orb.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">The globe of chakra spun faster and faster as the child continued to spin causing a vortex of wind to move about her. With the more wind circling about her, the less the fire was getting. Within a few minutes, the fire that was near her and Kinshi would have been snuffed out due to lack of oxygen to feed it.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Hitomi’d come to a stop and she’d open her eyes to see Kei before them. Standing still near Kinshi, she’d hold her hand out to take Kinshi’s while she coated the bottom of her feet once more with chakra. She might not have been a strong child, but she was fast and with chakra coating the bottom of her feet, she’d be faster still. If the woman took her hand, she’d dash forward with an alarming speed dodging to the left and right as her byakugan would see things falling around them faster and would allow her to react just that much faster. She’d (They’d) stop at the end of the hall where she’d meet up with Kei once more. The young Hyuga would breath a bit on the heavier side from the activity. 19:31, April 7, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">Each of the machines were then enveloped with the swiftly summoned roots and trees, the applied crushing pressure snuffed out each of the red lights along the hallway, visible signs of electrical sparks could be seen as each of the metallic machines were crushed by the trees themselves, what proved to clean up the remainder of the mess was the large hurling ball of flame working in accordance with the trees to reduce the machines to ashes. As Kei dashed through the hallway before the other two, he’d come to an open door with a man, half machine, half man at that, merely applauding the Uchiha and the others once they arrived shortly behind him.

<p class="MsoNormal">Besides the obvious cyborg, there lingered a mysterious robed individual who seemed peculiar, little was known about this figure, and perhaps it was the leader? Little was known about the leader so the assumption would be safe to make, though something did feel quite, mysterious about the figure. The cyborg stretches about before yawning and stepping into the middle of the room, apart from the obvious differentiation from the usual shinobi, attached to the cyborg’s forearms are 2 switchblades with the blades folded, attached to the end beside the cyborg’s wrist where the blade would land when protruding out are 2 barrels which clearly intended to shoot forth some kind of weapon.

<p class="MsoNormal">Along the sides of the cyborg there are 2 thin cylindrical tubes, on the right, it is labelled with the Kanji for Katon and the left vial labelled with the Kanji for Raiton, running his fingers through his vivid orange hair the cyborg bows, welcoming the trio that remained.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Sorry about your 2 friends madam Senju. Don’t worry, he’s being taken care of” the shinobi teased with but a mere chuckle then facing the barrels towards them, out from the barrels shot 2 minuscule scrolls which then expanded into the proper size of a scroll releasing  a pair of giant balls of flame which then joined together, combining into that of a ferociously massive fireball which intended to impact the trio before they could make it through the doorway.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> 21:18, April 7, 2016
 * Andikins <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">{Hooded figure something or other}

Along witht he cyborg was a figure clad in robing, someone that kept their face and entire body covered despite holding up a set of four scrolls. As the cyborg's trap activated and sought to incinerate the intruding trio, though with the resourcefulness of ninja it was better to play safe than sorry.

The figure dropped two of the scrolls from its left hand and as they rolled open, a plume of smoke followed with the sound of something being summoned. What came after that and in the midst of the smoke was the sound of inhuman clacking of wooden parts against one another.

As soon as the fire dissipated, a flurry of frenzied fliers would rush forth from the smoke of the summoning. They were all bound to the robed figure's hand as the miniature pupets were able to be controlled with a fraction of the power needed for a single chakra thread.

They would all fly forth (an amassed number of forty baseball sized bird motif puppets) and open up compartments within their bodies whenever the neared any of the trio.

Inside the birds were folded up rotating blades coated with a corrosive poison that was attuned for chewing through organic matter rather than metal. And as the blades rotated, the flung acid off willy nilly while the machinery in the room was to remain safe. The hooded figure tried to focus birds on the jounin, seeking to pincer the elite ninja and force them backwards where the amount of birds were poised to puncture the well promoted ninja with theirp poison tipped senbon beaks. This figure was dedicating half of its bird force to the attack on the jounin leader and the remaining twenty to the other two of the team.

Meanwhile, the hooded figure was being encircled by a massive centipede inspired puppet with armored plating around its outside while leaving holes for the figure to watch and manipulate its attacking force with the birds. The remaining two scrolls lie on the ground, still wrapped up and waiting to be opened with a kick of the foot. The figure was remaining in place, waiting for an opening to attack and eliminate the targets with its ace in the hole.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">{Hooded figure something or other} 21:55, April 7, 2016
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Just a second, she just needed a second. Where this second was found and given, she found her trust well placed in Kei, the Uchiha she promised to help and even Hitomi, the Hyuuga she said she’ll protect—To the forest she made, it was set aflame by a fire jutsu she prayed Kei had; burning, to the ashes and the floating embers, nothing was left in this hallway but the steady falling petals and leafs from the celling, the wood being consumed by the flames. It had been just a moment, the fire getting more intense causing things to fall, awhile Hitomi took the moment to safe guard a ‘fallen’ Kinshi—The very moment Hitomi offered a hand to Kinshi, the fires fading around them due to skill the Hyuuga used to protect Kinshi, Kinshi simply would have to thank her later; grabbing Hitomi’s hand, Kinshi forcefully pulled the girl, causing her to no doubt fall forward. Where Hitomi would fall forward, Kinshi would allow Hitomi to fall over her right shoulder, Hitomi’s stomach or waist would be against Kinshi’s shoulder, awhile Kinshi kicked herself in a stance, dashing forward—Without the usage of her body flicker, Hitomi would not only bare witness to the physical strength of a frail looking female, but be impressed by her speed; equal to almost a body flicker, if not one, Kinshi’s body made itself way down the hallway. Held in her left hand was a kunai wrapped with a paper bomb, she held on to it for so long, by usage of her right arm, she used it to hold Hitomi to her shoulder, so no slipping for her—Branches falling, to ashes rising, Kinshi didn’t think to dodge the branches that fell before her, she simply altered her course; running and leaping, the few ember bound branches and legs offered her the ability to use them like stepping stones. Dashing to the left, the right, hoping over things and spinning, it seemed like a dance in hell, the burning flames that wanted to consume her and everything else; for a moment, she felt like she could hear the crying of a fading forest made by her hands and will, did this mean she felt a bit of herself die within this fire?

Painting her clothes, ashes were found against the black of her baggy pants and over her cheeks, arms and exposed stomach—Reaching the nigh-end of the hallway, she had a view of Kei, a glowing view of someone whom was far from a friend, this presence of a person being with another, both of whom was about to witness the displeasure of a young Jōnin trying to control herself; she didn’t have to see him, she felt him the moment he got within her range of sensibility. Where near the end, Kinshi ceased stopped her foot work, causing a slide against the metal flooring, which she took this moment to set Hitomi down, kneeling downward a bit to slip Hitomi to her feet, awhile Kinshi’s body motioned forward to line up next to the right of Kei—A cyborg ninja, how lovely, and even better, he wanted to try and converse, there was nothing to talk about, she didn’t want to hear anything, he lost his respect and the ‘rite’ of speech. Her aqualit eyes offered him only a mere second, which she used to address the information before her, so no doubt, the ass amount of robots they just burned hotter than the devil’s hell hole resulting in ashes, were his and the robed person behind him was some type mysterious shinobi that she’ll address later—Kinshi was ready for whatever bullshittery these two were about to offer her, she may have been young, but she didn’t get to her rank by simple means of her father wanting her to be there and assuming she was ready for such, na, she had to work and now, she was about to show these two the power of the leaf; Kinshi of the Senju, Hitomi of the Huuyga and Kei of the Uchiha, the only three of ‘five’ that made it this far. Did this cyborg ninja think he was fancy? He was far from charming in the Senju’s eyes; then again, she was considered a lesbian. What about the robed one? Was he like the leader and boss? It didn't matter, he'll get his turn. As the word ‘sorry’ dared to cross his lips, it made an error to believe the Senju he wanted to address gave the slightest fuck in which he spoke in a mock, in which, she failed to desire to hear anything more after and acted—May she be impulsive or impatient, her hand lit up with white chakra, holding the kunai wrapped with a paper bomb flicked forward, her arm motioning forward awhile her wrist flicked as her fingers allowed the Kunai to slip through her fingers; too the normal eye and to the distance, it was a mere kunai being through out of poor control over a Senju's emotions, she did after get annoyed and murked up his hallway with ashes.

As the kunai left her fingers, she simply said “Denied.”, she said mockingly, with a mix of egoistic and annoyance with his time wasting hers; just give her the check and she’ll see herself out, this wasn’t a dinner date nor this a dance, but she may make an expection for the two. With both her physical strength and speed she could offer, the fine point of the Kunai would rip through the air and be aimed forwards the cyborg’s mid-torso or rather, upper stomach, the force she used to throw would no doubt allow it to stick stab into him just a bit, but that was not her plan—There was a good fifteen-twenty feet between Black team and the cyborg, the kunai was tossed towards cyborg sadly wouldn’t made it the whole distance, due to the fact it wasn’t an impact paper bomb, it was timed one; a second or two and a half. A half a second to toss, a second for it to fly, which is why she had to put all her speed and strength into it—By the time the kunai reached three feet of mark-distance of the cyborg, it’ll simply explode, it’s range covering seven foot radius. This would cause him to not be able to do whatever he desired to do after he spoke, due to the fact, he would instantly realize Kinshi didn’t want whatever bullshittery he was selling. As soon as the Kunai left her fingers, however, Kinshi found herself already with a plan—Black team held three members of power clans that lived in ‘harmony’ within Konohagakure, two of which, held Dōjutsu and Kinshi with her Kekkei Genkai nature of ‘wood release’. Channeling through her body, the familiar visual of white chakra held to a dancing ribbon form, it shined brighter, almost like a sheet of white was glowing off her clothes and flesh—By means of her mood and chakra flow, water droplets collected around her, even along the floor below her feet which formed a puddle, the soaked clothes of Kinshi along with her hair did not drip a single drop and barely dried, even though she just ran through a fiery hell; she didn’t miss the fact of words that hinted to him being a Raiton user as well, she caught wind of that too, she could see a good distance.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">In was almost in the same instance as the kunai left her fingers, her hands pressed together awhile her body channeled chakra—Forming the Snake seal first, she skipped a handseal, making another seal, skipping another, making the final and pausing, it was just a hand clap to activate; Tiger → Snake → Dragon “Water Severing Wave”, due to her two skips of healseals, she allowed her chakra to kindle inside her body, kindling the water jutsu until she really needed to use it. By the time the bomb went off, the smoke would be in place, making a screen that wouldn’t allow eachother to see one another, unless means of special sight or an item, in Kinshi’s case, she was a sensory-nin. If any means of destroying this kunai and burning the bomb, Kinshi would no doubt have to counter would the jutsu she had in motion already, clapping her palms together—A deep breath in, she would simply exhale, spewing out a massive amount of a stream of water, that is held in a high pressure enough to cut through his fire jutsu, putting the center mass out and moving onward. Upon the technique colliding with his, the fire he dared to use against them was forced and directed to the left and right walls of Black Team, causing them not to be harmed. As this happened, it would also move in a directly straight and center, severing anything within it’s way, example and aim point being, such as his arms, torso or body, maybe his head or y’know, kill him, and the birds, would destroy those if they were in the way, they would be rendered in-half, shattered, broken or inactive; the range of such she could extend over forty feet. If he did not somehow charge through the kunai, and changed his course of planning, Kinshi would have no used the jutsu. She only thought about it more a moment, she needed to keep in mind the limits of her other teammates, over her own stamina and strength, she may be strong, but she will need them for this—She indirectly hoped it wasn’t false, she wanted him to use some type of raiton jutsu on her, her water release asked for it. For the moment, in which he did, they were going to have a ‘blast’. Edited by Clownfishie 20:05, April 8, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;margin-top:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">As expected, Kinishi took it upon herself to both attack and defend the group while shooting a furious wave of water throughout the door opening; causing nothing but smoke to arrive on the Genin side of the wall.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Rather than trying to waste his efforts Kei dashed 5 yards to the right, away from the door opening, and pressed his hard to the ground before summoning seven regular white cobra that were about 2-4 yards in length.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">The snakes looked perfectly obedient while Kei crouched down and placed an explosive tag  each of the serpentine summons before sending jumping back another two yards, in the corner between the wall behind him and the wall beside him that held the door opening 7 yards away.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">This meant that the seven kamikaze cobra were 2 yards away from Kei, and 5 yards away from the door opening, hissing quietly as they waited for something to come through the door opening or for Kei to command their movements.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;margin-bottom:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">One of the Cobra was sent to slither up on the wall and wait directly above the door opening; ready to detonate whenever anything foreign came through. 19:38, April 9, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Being placed down, Hitomi didn’t have time to think about much before she saw the two individuals that were in the room beyond the doorway. The words spoken, she simply moved back as the Jounin began to fight the fire on her own. However, that did not stop the clacking of the wood that drew her attention.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Turning her head, the Byakugan allowed her to noticed the strings of chakra that were tied to the forty birds that were now coming their way through the smoke and steam from the bombs and the water putting out the fire. Biting her bottom lip, she knew she didn’t have that many senbon on her or that many weapons period.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">She’d feel the water that puddled upon the floor touch upon the bottom of her toes through the sandals and look to see it coming from the Jounin. *That’s it!* She thought to herself.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Bending down, she placed her hands into the collecting water as she saw the snakes coming up behind her. They were definitely a failsafe if any birds had come through. Her eyes forward, she focused on her chakra. It was not but a few moments that in the water on either side of her hands formed vortexes within the water. Her eyes focused on the birds that were coming towards them and much like the sniper with a high powered rifle, she’d take aim at the closest ones. Steadily, one by one from each of the two vortexes came fast needles of water that held the destructive force of a senbon being fired towards the incoming ‘birds’.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">She counted to herself as the shots fired off and would strike at the wooden puppets. Each needle would hit the wooden creations with the force to break them in some way. The head to fall off. The loss of a wing or both. Cracking through the puppet as a whole. Each needle fired off would damage  these birds with the hope of stopping the assault of the puppet master.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">After firing off at least fifty shots, knowing that some would have missed with their movement, the puddle of water that she would have been using would begin to deplete. Her brows furrowed as she focused as hard as she possibly could to keep these birds from coming towards them. 23:27, April 9, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">The words were spoken, the scrolls launched and though the scrolls were shot forth the instant his words had come to an end, an approaching kunai came into sight, his left mechanical eye remained focused on the kunai as if analysing the projectile whilst his spare eye stared towards the 3 shinobi. Once it became clear to the cyborg shinobi that the kunai was attached to a paper bomb, it had reached its 3 feet marked distance. Widening his eyes in surprise that it was in fact a timed bomb, he kicks off the floor backwards, rather than forward to join at the robed shinobi’s side, not before the explosive force sent him by the shinobi’s side on his back with the metallic plating on the front side of his body covered in scorch marks.

The shinobi coughing profusely slightly embarrassed as he arose to his feet, still trying to impress the masked group yet frustrated at the skill Konoha’s shinobi had displayed, even more so as the hurling ball of flames came to a halt and a stream of water shot from the other side of the ball of fire, clenching his fists, the man’s arms raised, barrels aimed towards the shinobi. One shot a scroll forth, though it would do no harm mid-flight and no doubt remained obscured by the mixture of smoke and steam though the scrolls wielded a faint sign of chakra within, though the byakugan would no doubt see through the mixture of steam and smoke and notice the minuscule object flying towards them.

Upon landing on the floor, the scroll would expand, the seal upon it glowing and releasing another jutsu, the 'Lightning Release: Spider Web' almost instantaneously sprouting out multiple lines of chakra which engulfed the entire room and upon contact would electrocute each and every person, though only paralysing them, those who remained by the puddle the Senju had seemingly conjured would receive a greater force of the electrocution, more so the Jounin who was covered in water, the electrocution proving more so fatal.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">"My apologies. I will not repeat the same mistakes" The cyborg said in regards to the robed shinobi, still somewhat embarrassed by the entire ordeal. 01:05, April 10, 2016
 * Andikins <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">{Robed asshole or something}

As if speaking in some language that was not understandable to those outside the realm of knowing it (go figure with foreign languages), the robed man conveyed to the cyborg that it was a trite matter.

The figure dropped its other two scrolls and kicked them opened, and from the plume of smoke came the crackling of more wood, but from these was something different than the easily dismantled birds. There were actual chakra signatures coming from them? Andthe killing intent behind them as well?

The centipede around the figure retreated into the shadows at the back of the room while the robed figure dropped the robe, revealing itself to be a puppet that was controlling the other puppets through a relay of sorts from one to the other. That was when it became known that the real puppet master was hiding either in the shadows or in a secret compartment within the room all along. And to top that off, the three puppets now facing off against them looked to be a mixture of jounin level shinobi!

One bore the mark of Sunagakure and wielded a giant fan behind its back. Another bore the resemblence with the Iwagakurian symbol. But the one that stood out amongst them was one who sported the Konoha leaf, the one who was robed all along. It turned out to be someone that had been a great asset to the village but disappeared a while ago: former Junrei clan leader Horo Junrei.

Any sensible current jounin in the village had at least heard the name of this shinobi and teh tales of others from other villages having disappeared. These three together were favorites among this puppeteer for their combined skills. And as if by some cosmic cue, they enacted one of their plans with their combined effort. The Iwa puppet stomped the ground with the dog handseal before slamming the ground and causing the grountd o buckle all from where his hands lay to where the trio were standing their ground, aiming to break the ground in four directions to send them into the air or ctach their feet: giving them the option to either get a move on or get caught. Meanwhile the female puppet opened up her fan and spun it overhead like a propellor before swinging it at Foro's puppet form, seeking to send the master water user forth while using the Downpour Scythe nintaijutsu technique. With his body having been hollowed out and filled with a reinforced water tanker and moisture collection system, this reinforced puppet would be able to fight for a lot loner than Foro had in his life.

But with his attack, a massive wave of water came out from the swing of his leg, sending a rushing wave of water out across from one side of the room to the other to try and sweep up the trio of combatants or pulverize them underneath the weight of the water. As soon as the Foro puppet landed, it was already spinning about by the spine that no human should have been able to, flinging its arms at rapid pace to throw water shuriken with the aid of the wind blasts being blown its way by the Sunagakurian puppet.

 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Painting the doorway in water and burns, with usage of ‘Water Severing Wave’ to cancel whatever fire that was, meant Kinshi needed to motion—She sensed Kei moving away, Hitomi stayed near and was thankful for her doing that, the cyborg ninja was forced away, but no doubt by the paper bomb that was a ‘Hello from Kinshi Senju of Konohagakure, I’ll be your waitress for today’. After the moment, ‘Water Severing Wave’ was used, not even catching a breath, she needed to be faster in every aspect and the dancing smoke was about to disappear and Kinshi was not about to be caught in another attack she couldn’t counter or cover. Kinshi set herself into motion, planting her feet firmly against the ground below her, her left hand reached to the left of her to Hitomi, with a strong and tight grip to Hitomi’s shirt collar, Kinshi would the girl too her and also kicked herself off the floor, upward in a strong leap towards the ceiling—Holding Hitomi to Kinshi’s chest, her right hand extended out forward to catch the ceiling’s surface to stand, placing her feet there; standing on the ceiling, both Hitomi and Kinshi were upside down. Walking over to the right side of the hallway, being near the corner area that wasn’t viewable to the enemy unless they walked out that doorway, the Senju started to think of ways to rework this—She was annoyed, she was pissed and most importantly, she wanted to clean the floors with these two, or three, more than likely there was just two.

As the smoke danced lingering within the doorway, Black Team did not advance in and noone advanced out, only mere attacks were exchanged—By the time Kinshi stood on the ceiling, there was more things in play, she couldn’t keep this up, but she had to, she was regretting the forest jutsu now, she had got annoyed and used it, but she would be okay.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">The ceiling was a good twenty-eight feet high, and Kinshi was clung to it—Needlessly to say, everything that was happening before her did not faze her one bit. As means of a lucky opinion of her, she wasn’t hurt by means of whatever lightning jutsu was used, however, the other things did pose a bit more noticeable. Where the ground level shook from the activation of something, this caused Kinshi to crouch down against the ceiling a bit to keep herself from falling, as the wave of water pushed through, she felt a sense of worry for Kei, the wave was about ten feet high and no doubt ‘crush’ them under the force of that water, but Kinshi was not effect—Hitomi would’ve still be in Kinshi’s arms or released at this point, to be on the ceiling with Kinshi or to return back to the ground level. “Okay...” She mumbled under her breath, she took this moment to breath calmly and clearly, not heavily and panicky, but to keep herself calm—She wasn’t sure to express shock or stupidity, maybe they were guessing what was beyond the smoke and thought the team would’ve advanced in.

She could’ve planned better, but if she hasn’t planned it like it was that jutsu would’ve baked them for sure, and if she didn’t live in impulse, she would’ve been deep fried and water pressure crushed—She felt it, it felt weird.. Her body started to express some form of reaching her halfway point, her chakra level was getting to the mid-point, she only had a few more jutsu to use, then she would need to rely on her physical and item management; most importantly she needed to breathe. Slipping her hand back to her pouch, her right hand grabbed another kunai wrapped with another paper bomb, she wasn’t going to be caught without a weapon atleast. Her eyes kept locked to the doorway for whatever slipped out, no doubt the enemy was unhappy at this point. 03:50, April 10, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;margin-top:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">The floor began to shake.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Kei activated his sharingan to then clearly see a foreign presence of chakra approaching underground, dense enough to picked up upon by his eyes, just after it passed through the door. At this point four of the six cobras still close to him moved up his body; one wrapping around each forearm and one around each lower leg. The two remaining snakes sped forth as the sound of rushing water had not escaped Kei so the snakes move before it had even passed through the doorway  and would spread out to thus also approach him.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Jumping up to the wall behind him by means of a backflip, Kei then made the Snake handseal to deal the two cobras on the ground speeding towards the water in order to hold it at bay with the force of their explosion. This bought Kei enough time to push off and jump up on the wide wall in which the doorway was located. Running up, he came to a grinding halt 26 feet off the ground, directly above the door opening. To his right he could see Kinshi and Hitomi, while below he saw that the ground had torn apart. The cobra hiding close to the door opening then sneaked inside the room where the two villains were hiding and aimed to find a hiding spot where it could sit unnoticed, such as a crevice in the ground.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Kei then also walked on the roof, with the others, standing upside down like a bat. He’d look through the wall, or attempted to, but found himself unable to see any clear chakra behind it.; perhaps because the enemies were too far away. Instead he turned his gaze back to Kinshi, emotionless as ever, an asked her “is there any way for you to break through this wall so we can enter their room without giving them a free target to shoot at as soon as we enter the doorway? Or some of those roots to fill up the ground below so we can engage from the floor level. Although we’d need some strong defense to go through that way.”. he awaited for both of them to have made their replies an would follow into action as soon as one of them had given the green light on either option or another acceptable plan.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;margin-bottom:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">One hand resting on the hilt of his Chokuto, Kei was ready to go. 04:06, April 10, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">At this point, Hitomi was starting to feel like Kinshi’s personal little rag doll with as many times as she had picked the child up and ran with her. Holding on to the Jounin, Hitomi continued to see what was going on behind them in all areas minus the one that was just about the third vertebrae at the base of her neck. She was alarmed to see what it was that was beyond the wall. “A puppet controlling puppets…” She said in a whisper as Kinshi ran with her up onto the ceiling.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Being placed ‘down’ with her feet on the ceiling, she’d look to the two of them. “There’s a true puppet master in there. As in, a puppet controlling the other three puppets so somewhere there’s one more hiding but I can’t see that far. They all are the size of a standard Jounin.” She said softly. The eyes of the child would see the chakra that would be used for each of the element release attacks that were being used by the puppets.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">“We don’t need to break down the wall.” She said softly making sure that only they could hear one another. “A simple transformation Jutsu would be just enough to get us in there without being detected and without using up a lot of chakra. Something small. A mouse or insect. A spider could climb the walls and walk around the corner of the doorway without being noticed at all. Since all living things have chakra, we’d be no different than them.” Her eyes looked to the both of them. “I know it’s not a ‘run in and start swinging sort of plan, however, it is an idea that would get us in there and into a decent hiding place for a better option than standing out here in the hall where we’re trapped on both ends.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">The child then reached into her side pouch and took out a kunai and held it firmly against her forearm. Her eyes looked then to the two of them once more and waited to be told what they were going to be doing. Either way, she’d stay by them. 04:45, April 10, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;margin-top:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">The cheerful jingling continued until the elevator finally came to a stop with a gentle bump. The doors then opened to reveal a long hallway that had been completely devastated.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">The metal walls and roof had been torn apart almost everywhere, as far as they could see. This damage was caused by blackened roots and trees that had remained after an insane fire, the results of which were still visible.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Upon touching many of the roots they’d simple fall apart and cause more of the surroundings to cave in. It’d be a wary path for Lil B and Ari to travel but after moving out a few hundred yards they’d see team black in the distance

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;margin-bottom:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">(Ari and lil B post in after the Dm’s and Team black members.) 05:22, April 10, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The cybernetic man hung his head in embarrassment, despite what was said to him, he couldn’t afford further embarrassment less his risk being removed from the company he found himself far too fond of. From the barrels now pointing downward with his arms residing by his side, 2 scrolls shot down, out from the expanded scrolls on the cyborg’s left side was that of a clone, identical to the cyborg himself whilst to his right was a kind of weapon, though entrapped within a large metallic box that seemed to loom over the cyborg, towering approximately twice the height of the figure.

<p class="MsoNormal">The snake that had slithered into the room went by unnoticed, despite how analytical the robotic eye of the cyborg was, he was far too distracted about the loss of his own pride more so than anything, proving that the snake would now pose a threat to the cyborg as he hadn’t seen it enter. The large metallic box would open and on either side of the box it seemed to be a dispenser of the long thin vials running along the side of the cyborg. Grasping another 4 and placing them into his side, the clone repeating the process, the cyborg’s forearm seemed to rotate. The sound of a reloading gun could be heard from each arm as if the rifle-like weapon attached to each forearm had changed what contents resided within them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">The vials then began sifting about, bubbling slightly, whilst at the end of the barrel glimmered sheen light and the tip of a kunai. The cyborg shinobi’s left eye seemed more so focused this time. The clone flickers its switch blades as they took the place of the barrels, protruding forth and he took a defensive stance, a sniper and his protector. 06:18, April 10, 2016
 * ThisIsBullshit2015 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;">The 3 puppets had remained still lying in wait of Black team, the puppet that held the symbol of Iwagakure stepped in front of the puppet from Konoha, pounding its fists together before, similarly to the clone of the Cyborg, it had taken a defensive stance. However the puppet that bore the crest of Sunagakure stepped forth, retrieving the fan from behind its back its eyes shot to the roof where Black team had settled upon, almost as though it knew where they were, unfolding the fan and rotating the fan round its body once before unfurling a significantly large portion of pressurised wind toward the top of the doorway.

<p class="MsoNormal">Although the blade of wind wasn’t quite powerful enough, the loud ringing of the wall reverberating would possibly damage their ears, leaving the without the sense of hearing momentarily before the puppet proceeded with the continued rotation of its fan. As the first wind blade would make contact, another was formed at a lower trajectory, aiming to cleave through the midst of the doorway so that anything that descended from the roof, intending to land would be met with the unwelcoming pressure of a blade of wind, possibly severing them from the point of contact.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> 06:35, April 10, 2016
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Kei had a point.. But.. Did she really want to this, the first time was already hard on her and doing it the second time.. With her chakra being the level it’s at now would render her almost unable to make another jutsu—It didn’t matter, she’ll still be able to fight, she may not be good at Taijutsu, but she could be smart and held herself phyiscally strong with minor levels of Taijutsu arts, such as stances. Time was ticking, but it only took her a second to think of a course of action, she had been through worse, but she had issues—It was almost in the same instance after the water had cleared, Kinshi hopped off from the ceiling, her right hand sliding down the wall as she meant back with ground level. Right before her feet met the ground, her hands pressed her hands together, she formed a handseal all too familiar, the snake handseal. “I’ll use the remains of my chakra to craft a forest—Get ready.” She said. Pressing her back to the wall, the enemies were on the other side of this wall, but she didn’t desire to go to through the doorway. If anything, they were close and within her mid-range abilities and she simply had to be on ground-level for this to work. As her feet graced the ground, she located herself on the right side of the hallway, her back against the wall of the doorway of the right below Kei and Hitomi, her body already had chakra channeling through, she felt her chakra connect to the world around her, the walls, to the floors and even the ceiling.. This was going to be her last jutsu, she needed to make it count—Within the room of enemy ninja, they’ll notice the flooring below them shake ever-so displeasingly.‘Wood Release: Nativity of a Sea of Trees’ was an A-rank jutsu that could cover a good amount of yards, the enemy was within the twenty feet away from the doorway, doing lord knows what, and thus, within her range of technique that extended happily over forty feet radius and a bit more.

Being simply put, as Kinshi took a second to channel this chakra, the enemies in question would find the following going on below them—She heard a sound, this sound caused her eardrums to hard and at this moment, that simply caused her to crouch down ont he ground, sitting on her knees, she noticed it was time to do this, or die trying, as per-simultanaous as the sound, Kinshi couldn’t let it get to her and put all she had into this final jutsu. The floor would be shaking, not in a wiggle-wave, no, the floor would shake to the point it cracked and within this cracks, vines, bushes and limbs sprout up—Disrupting technique of the puppets and maybe even the accuracy, causing them to cut the upper doorway, causing the puppeter's hands to be unsteady and cause him to nevermind his idea, it didn't matter; this offered also a little window for Black Team to attack, because no doubt everyone inside that room was a bit confused, but she hoped Kei and Hitomi didn't go in, she wasn't going to waste her effort iin trying to keep them from being entangled, no dome would be there to save them. She had no choice up to speed up the growth by using more chakra than she wanted to, but she did not increase the range this time. The vines held in thickness of two inches all the way to five inches, they’d aim to entangle the feet, hands, arms, limbs of the enemies, even the puppets, entangling everyone in a haste to stop whatever they were doing before it was too late, hopefully saving those above her and herself. The bushes aimed to sprout at the doorway’s walls and destroy them as means of growing into them and shattering them, causing them to collapse downward, not harming Kinshi or anyone else, not even causing the ceiling to fall—These bushes grew upward, in bright green leafs to hide the field of view of both them and the enemies, even covering up Kinshi’s presence. The limbs that appeared in dozens found themselves with fine points and with one goal, kill, destroy and claim—They were the worst, they aimed with their fine-points to stab into the enemies by the dozens and it they missed, they simply would embed into the ceiling and cause a few cracks of ceiling to wall downward, hopefully crushing the enemy or atleast scaring them to move deeper into the room, if they lived passed the fact she wanted them dead—The vines were rapid in growth, they required less chakra to boost due to them being a plant, the bushes simply grow fast and the limbs were a mix between rapid and fast. If they tried to jump back, they would be caught by those limbs, if they tried to step backward, they would be caught by the vines and then the limbs would impale them, hopefully, but, some of the aim of the jutsu was a bit random, and she had to go off of her sensing skills, which was only on point to a degree. They would be giftwrapped and crushed by the pressure of these limbs, even by the vines that would limit movement—The forest simply allowed little movement, it wasn’t even a forest, it was almost like a wild jungle, actually, it was kinda like her room that her father always complained about.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">In the end. It was a limited time window. Kinshi was on ground level, she would’ve been fine as she was crouched down to the lowest level and against a walls—Hopefully, she saved them, or hopefully, they rushed in as the ground was shaking, they had doujutsu, it was noticeable for them, than her, she had to sense around. Used on a smaller scale and not in a whole hallway and freely, but just a bit faster in growth, Kinshi found herself feeling some type of way—The completed forest claimed her chakra reserves and she was panting. Her body was tired, it was sore as well, but she shouldn’t end here; she felt like a normal ninja, a villager.. Actually... She felt like a child from her past, the girl who couldn’t form a jutsu.'“Please.. Just fucking perish.. Be a beauitful tree bound fuck spirit thing—Just die..”'She mumbled to herself, her head lowing as her hands fell into her lap—she was soaked, she was tired, but, she felt pretty shitty. But.. It was the perfect time to attack, if they hadn’t already, it was safer now.. Noone would see them.. But Kinshi needed a moment.. Holding the kunai wrapped with a paperbomb, she felt herself slip, but didn’t allow it. 08:09, April 10, 2016
 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;margin-top:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Something, or someone, ha hid the wall behind them with enough force to temporarily deafen Kei who grasped his ears while flinching in pain, feeling some blood trickle down from his ear. And upon moving his hands he found that his hearing ability had become close to zero.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">“One sense down….”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">He couldn’t even hear his own words as Kinshi had fallen down to the ground and used her powerful jutsu that further ruptured through the area and changed the ‘boss’ room into a wild jungle.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">However her trees wouldn’t stop the cleaving slash of wind that rushed through the 1.5 yard wide, doorway, cutting at the roots in its path so that the doorway was open again; just in time to reveal Kei to the enemy Shinobi just as the Uchiha had descended with sword drawn, the blade coated in fire, and cut through the slash of wind so that it passed by either side of him before he raised his chin to look through the chaotic forest and see the opponents. This allowed them, in turn, to see the terrifying gaze of his Sharingan before their lives would be lost in nightmares.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">The flames around his sword then diminished as he made landing on a thick root that had filled up the gap in the ground that had been created by the enemy earlier. He then stabbed his sword right beside him while his hands moved in a flurry of seals.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Meanwhile, the snake still inside the room now found itself blessed with even more of a cover as the room had changed into a mini forest. It sneaked along the side of a large tree limb that coiled around the back of the room in order to stay out of sight all the while approaching the rear cyborg. The white cobra then aimed to slighter all the way between the ‘sniper’ cyborg as it simply waited while surrounded by volatile vials.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Then it happened, Kei brought his fingers up to his lips in the tiger seal before exhaling an orb of fire that was a bit too big for the doorway, and struggled to move through while cracking the walls. However, Kei then clapped his hands together, hard, and summoned up several gusts of gale-force winds that slammed into the rear end of the fireball and empowered it greatly due to the combination of natures, giving it enough force to rip through an additional foot of hard stone around the doorway just as it sped inside the room with immense intensity.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">The wind enhanced fireball then grew in size, heat, and ferocity as it became something along the lines of a controlled firestorm, shaped like an orb, reminiscent of a small sun, that now rushed inside the wood filled room and set ablaze every root, trunk, twig and branch that it it passed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">(From the enemy perspective, the glow in the middle being the oncoming, amplified, fireball.)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">As if that wasn’t enough, Kei clapped his hands two more times to send forth two additional blasts of wind that did not only speed up the fireball which went on a path straight through the room; heading right at both of the cyborgs and any puppets in its way. The blasts of wind also further amplified any wildlife that had been set aflame by the passing orb-shaped firestorm. Even the small roots that only caught a small bit of flame, before the fire had spread, were awakened to burn brightly thanks to the rushing wind chakra.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">All in all, this caused for the entire room to be filed in an ocean of flames that spread far faster, and with more intent, than the fire which had raged through the trees in the hallways when the team fought the army of robots.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">However, the toll of using several jutsu in a row was noticeable on Kei who dropped to a knee while heavily panting and gasping as the four snakes uncoiled from his forearms and lower legs. All of these snakes then rushed to the doorway, two at the bottom and two at the top, before Kei made the snake hand-seal.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Then… BOOM… the entire doorway would come to collapse in a brutal explosion but not only that. The snake which had been hidden in the room, beneath the sniper cyborg’s legs, then also came to detonate just before the fire closed in around the sniper and the amplified fireball sought to make contact. This meant that, while the opponent was focused upon inferno incarnate, a sudden explosion would most likely blow off the Snipers legs while also detonating all of the nearby vials. Kei knew these vials were explosive but he wasn’t exactly sure how much. So before a torrent of sickening energy shot out of the doorway, in case it didn’t collapse successfully, Kei dashed off to the right in order to rejoin with Kinshi; coming to a sliding halt beside her while panting heavily.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Looking down by his side he could see the open floor that led down into a black nothingness. He still wondered which earth jutsu it was that had torn up the ground and was happy that they had Kinshi’s roots to rely on. This was his first time seeing the wood release and he couldn’t deny its power and utility. The power of a Senju and Uchiha combined was more than a force to be reckoned with.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">But the de-activation of Kei’s sharingan showed that everything had taken even more of a toll than he expected. Aside from that, the firestorm inside the room would spread outside before long, especially through the roots they now used as their flooring.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">“We should move… fast.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.75pt;margin-bottom:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Not being able to hear a reply, he’d watch Kinshi and the others for a signal before moving out after them Edited by HokageSenju 18:38, April 10, 2016

Her hands traveling up to them instantly while her eyes clenched shut for a moment. She'd hear nothing but ringing while looking up to Kei who seemed to have the same issue. It took her a moment to adjust to the fact that she could no longer hear the area around her. But with her eyesight still able to be used, she still had her bearings as to what was going on around her. She'd see Kei's lips moving but wouldn't be able to hear his voice.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">She'd watch as Kinshi fell down to the ground and once more filled the area with a forest to both protect them and attack the enemies that were in the other room. Hitomi was amazed at this ability that she had. Then the burst of wind that cut through the doorway causing the forest that Kinshi just created to protect them to be as if there was a window etched straight to them.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">She'd watch as Kei revealed himself to the enemies. She knew about his Sharingan all too well being the cause of it awakening. Again she saw flames dancing in the wood of the trees as she jumped down from the ceiling and made her way to Kinshi as Kei brought his fingers up to his lips to exhale the orb of fire. Though she couldn't hear what was being said by the Jounin, she saw the look on her face and knew from her time helping her mother that there were just some things words were not good for.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">With the kunai still in her grip, she'd reach into her side pouch and pull out the container of dumplings that she brought with her. She had made them that morning and had been told on more than one occasion that she was a good cook. Granted it was not a situation that one would expect to have just pull out food, but sometimes even the smallest comfort was enough to give another hope and faith that they would make it through the toughest times they faced. Also it would be needed to help replenish what had been used. She'd take out one from the container and would try to almost force Kinshi's mouth to open so she could place the dumpling in her mouth. Then after that, she'd go to reach around the Jounin's shoulders and hug her tightly. A small comfort. A moment that would be needed just to let her know that they were still there and alright for the most part.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Moving from Kinshi if she had accepted the hug, she'd feel the heat from the fire coming through the doorway and look up to Kei. The boy was amazing. There was no other words for it. She'd feel and see the explosion, turning her face from it to keep from various pieces that would possibly come their way. She'd see Kei panting heavily and take out another dumpling and handed it to him. She was not the fighter that they were, but she could do her best with what she had.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Her ears were still ringing and the extra explosion didn't help much so she was not able to hear what he had said. But she'd look to Kinshi and then back to him. Awaiting to see what they would be doing next or where they would be going. 20:53, April 10, 2016 22:50, April 10, 2016
 * JaeJaeTheAirplane <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">As the elevator came to a halt and the cheerful music stopped, B would hear a faint “Ding” as the doors slowly slid open. He would open his eyes to a corridor that had looked as if it had been part of a world war. The metal walls torn apart and the faint trace of fire could be seen as small flames trickled and flickered among the scorched roots of trees that still stood in the after math as ashes flew down from the burnt bark. “Looks quite unstable be careful Ari, see you on the other side.” B would say as his speed was almost unmatched by most ninja of the leaf with his leg weights on let alone off. He would take one step forward before disappearing the blink of an eye a true testament to his speed lightly gingerly jumping off his left leg as he switched between strides “Left, right, left.” As he traveled as quick as possible trying to not touch any of the roots by jumping in gaps between and on the walls. After carefully skipping what seemed to be a few hundred yards he could hear a screeching sound echoing down the corridor, though faint it signaled something was awaiting them ahead. “Turn it up B.” he would say to himself as he upped the pace as he saw light at the end of the tunnel the vision of his sensei Kinshi as well as the Hyuga named Hitomi he had sparred just weeks earlier, this would bring  a sense of comfort to B knowing he had allies ahead.  As B made his way out of the destroyed corridor he would jump forward into a summer salt as he would see a flash of orange light in the corner of his left eye as he turned his head as he fly in mid air, seeing a dark haired boy spitting flames from his mouth like the legendary reptile his former squad had encountered earlier. B would land on his back rolling forward onto his right leg, of which was the good one, as his body came to a halt still he watching the boy unknown to him continue his onslaught on the wooded area. B would then turn his attention to Hitomi and the rather fatigued looking Kinshi “Is she alright Hitomi? What is going on?” he would ask as the explosions in the forest had stopped, as he waited to get an update as to what was going on.

Well that was unexpected, and unpresedented! An entire forest was grown and caught all of his puppets, trapping them as the entire forest within the room was burnt to a crisp and reduced most of everything to ashes. That excluded the man's puppets, but they were all rendered unusable from the flames drying them out so much that they could not move on their own with chakra alone.

Even the hiding puppeteer was left skewered and broiled by the flames and plants, not in that order. So there was no trace of life left in the room save for the still standing puppets who were just standing there not being a threat anymore at all.

When the elevator came up with B and Ari in it, B was the first to step out and greet team black.

Ari got a sight of what they had done and saw the results of what had happened, with a familiar silohuette in the doorway. "Old man!" Ari waved and ran toward the figure he knew only had to be his father. What was his dad doing in a place like this? Well the wide eyed Ari found out as the information was brought to light and it showed on his face. "Old man--no way. You didn't." He trailed off as he just dropped to his knees at the sight of not just his dad having been turned into a puppet but two other shinobi.

What the hell happened or who would do this? Ari looked over his shoulders and spoke to Kinshi, "Hey, what happened here? Did you find the guy who did this at least?"

 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Humorous. Funny. And most importantly, adorable—Team Black seemed to be rather crafty, between the Uchiha and Senju, the combo of fire release and wood release wasn’t to be mocked or messed with. Where Kinshi claimed the room with her sensory skills and control forced known as the power of ‘wood release’, she ripped the room apart, not mattering with Kinshi’s jungle actually entangled and/or killed then—Kei, the Uchiha made sure to burn everything down, leaving nothing left within the jungle, not even a body as he sent fire, turning the forest aflame. The room being a death they allowed themselves the enemy, a burning hell of crushed bodies and broke ceiling, and lit wood, consuming everything—She felt amazed by the effort of herself, from herself to Hitomi, the hyuuga whom asked more like support, but didn’t have much to do because the lack of upclose combat. Within the distance, her narrowing aqualit eyes stared in a dimlit light to the ally-force making their way over—Was that Lil’B and Ari..?

Hugging Hitomi back awhile Hitomi offered just a small bit of food to Kinshi, the dumpling piece was nibbled at then bit into whole with the rising of her head—As each muscle moved, she felt the heavy effort she needed, she was tired. The place around her was blurry, everyone’s figure and face being dissolved within her vision due to her tired she was—The bright light from the flames and the shadows of their bodies down the hallway was one of the things she could make out; she knew Hitomi was before her and she knew Kei to her left. Kei said something, something she clearly heard, yeah.. they needed to move, she even heard Lil’B and Ari.. They were concerned and worried, but only tiredness painted Kinshi’s face—Kinshi didn’t get the full blast of that hearing issue, she only caught a bit to make her ears suffer from temporary effects. With a soft look, she looked up to both Lil’B and Ari, her lips trying to part as she slipped out a few words. '“I’m fine.. And.. What happened...? The guy who did this..? You mean the ashes and burnt down forest? Anything, robot or human, has been slain.. The Shinobi within the room.. They have.. Killed.. Turned to nothing.. Crushed maybe.. Burned to ashes without a doubt.. Rendered dead...”' She said, her voice was soft and almost unable to be heard, but if they were listening carefully, they could no doubt hear her and understand her. She felt like she was hit by a truck, then stomped on by a titan and then ripped apart by it, just to be stitched and healed back up with the pain lingering.

Planting her hands against the cold, slowly heating up metal flooring, she pushed herself to her feet with all her phyiscal strength—Almost falling face first back into the floor, Kinshi caught herself with her right foot and stood up straight; she looked wiggly and off balance, no way she would be able to walk, but she had to. Her body was sore, it was hurting, even though she wasn’t hit, the forest she forced herself to make in massively and more than force bothered her and maybe, it was just her chakra along that caused this.. Maybe because she didn’t take a break, but it didn’t matter, she’d get over it soon. As the water on her body and clothes dipped onto the floor, Kinshi closed her eyes and took a solid breathe in before standing upstraight and in perfect posture, giving off the impression she was fine—Maybe, if she didn’t almost land on her face, she would’ve fooled everyone. Allowing her sight, voice and facial expression to recollect themselves, she simply opened her eyes and threw a slight smile over her lips, despite being deadass tired—'“I’m glad to see you two.. Please show us where you came from..”' She said. Extending her hand out with a weak step forward, she placed her hand on Lil’B’s shoulder as she looked to him, mumbling to him—She wasn’t sure how she felt, just seeing them two, she didn’t really think about anyone being dead due to the easy time she had. The movement these words left Kinshi’s mouth, she smiled to Lil’B, her student, keeping up with her strong ‘appearance’ as a teamleader, but just a bit more friendly and happy to seem him doing well, these missions were dangerous—As Kinshi’s hand was placed on Lil’B’s shoulder, trying not to get him soaked due her, but he sadly was going to be used like a walking staff, due to how weak Kinshi really was, she needed a few minutes to recollect herself, but the burning down and breaking down room behind them wasn’t going to allow it.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">From this moment, Team Black and with the two allies would advance back the way they came, and hopefully meet up with everyone, atleast, she hoped everyone... Hoping most of everyone was alive.. Nodding to Hitomi, then Kei, she wasn't sure how much deaf damage they took, but she could hear... Just had a hurting head and body. 03:51, April 11, 2016

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">The room set ablaze in a glorious display that’d surely grow out and spread along whichever root it could find; which surely meant that the fire would spread outside and soon rush back out through the hallway.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Kei wasn’t going to take the chance of being burned alive, nor did he feel the need to stay behind for his team-mates. After all it was only the mission’s success that mattered.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">So without a word, the Uchiha just turned around.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">One last glance was directed at the appearance of lil B who seemed a familiar face to Kinshi. –Perhaps, that is true friendship?- Kei wondered for a moment.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">But then he dashed off. His feet quick like the wind as he rushed through beneath the half crumbled roots, jumped over sections of the roof that had fallen down, and called up this walls while dashing across empty gaps and avoiding sharp plates that stuck out here and thee.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Arriving at the elevator doors which had replaced the closed doorway through which they originally entered, Kei turned around to see who was able to keep up. He’d wait for a bit, but not for long, as he’d then step into the elevator and press the up button if there were no signs of life coming after him.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">“Friendship… how can it truly be a thing when the importance of success, the important of doing what we’re told to do, is stated by law to outweigh the presence of any bond. What ae we but simple tools? Nothing. That’s why we must be the shadows that pierce the face of light whenever it fails to uphold the glory we assume it to wield.”

She had seen his lips moving and frowned softly. “I can’t hear you right now.” Was the only thing that she would say as she watched Kei speed away without even taking the food she had offered to help restore what he had used during this bout. She’d sigh softly and then offer the dumpling to B. Perhaps he would have need of something to eat. What was with most of the guys she knew? They all mostly treated her like she had the plague. She didn’t think she was that bad.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">She’d look to see the expression on B’s face when it came to Kinshi. A smile that was warm crossed over her lips and she gave a nod. “I’ll leave her in your care. Just be careful.” She said as she watched the fire only burning brighter.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">The sides of her eyes were beginning to strain and she could feel the tightness of it from the continuous use of her Byakugan. Closing her eyes a moment, she stood and opened them once more only to speed her way out of the hall and back to where she saw Kei. She’d look to him and only give him a nod with a soft smile in thanks. However, the Hyuga daughter was more like her mother then most people would see. She’d reach into her pouch and take out the container of dumplings once more. She’d then go to take his hand. If she had been able to take it, she’d place the container of dumplings in his hand with a soft smile. He could hate her later for it. At least he’d have food.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">She’d wait with Kei until he moved. Then when he had, she’d get on the elevator with him and ride it to where they would be going. 04:22, April 11, 2016 04:54, April 11, 2016
 * JaeJaeTheAirplane <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">As B looked at Hitomi for answers as the black haired boy dispersed rather quickly back down the hallway B and Ari had just emerged from. Hitomi would nod her head and mutter that she couldn’t hear what he was saying, probably due to the screeching echo he had heard when he was running through the corridor. Hitomi would smile and hand him a dumpling out of kindness, B would smile and slightly nod his head as he grabbed it and ate it swiftly as he reached and patted her shoulder out of gratefulness. B could feel the heat from the burning forest beside them start to become hotter as he turned his attention to his sensei Kinshi. She would be pouring sweat as droplets fall from all over her body onto the metal floor gracefully. He would watch as Kinshi try to raise herself but she was way too weak and almost fell on her face as she caught herself barely before impact. B would reach with his right hand and grasp her arm pulling her up so she could use him like a crutch. “Don’t worry sensei I got you from here, I’ll be by your side no matter what like you are for me.” He would say with a smile on his face to her even if she could barely comprehend what he was saying due to immense fatigue. B would ignore the sweat pouring from her body as his sensei’s safety mean more than his shirt being soaked as he would position her facing him as he would throw her over his left shoulder, her stomach resting on it, as he began to step forward. He would feel major discomfort in his leg, but nothing would stop him from getting Kinshi to safety even if it meant his leg break even more. B would fight through the pain telling Ari “Let’s go.” as he took of with the swiftness down the corridor once again to the elevator which the boy and Hitomi had already headed back too. After a few minutes of weaving through the destroyed corridor he would see Hitomi and the boy unknown to him readying to enter the elevator as he entered with Kinshi on his shoulder right behind them. B wouldn’t set his sensei down upon entering, as he kept her on his shoulder letting her rest as long as she wished. He would take this time to introduce himself to the other genin boy “I’m B nice to meet you bro.” he would say as he extended his free hand towards him for a handshake awaiting his response.

Still looking at the puppet of his father while everyone was conversing, Ari just sat there on the ground with a look of disbelief on his face.

How could anyone even do this to a person's body? Why would they? It didn't make any sense, but there was no way to get an answer about it. Ari sighed and stood up, looking around for something to carry his 'father' in. "Hey before we leave. Do any of you think you could help me? I wanna bury my dad outside of this place." He looked over his shoulder at the genin and jounin with his voice even shaking a bit as if he was holding back rage or sorrow, or both.

It had been solong since he had seen his dad, not since he was just out of being a toddler in fact, and now he got to see him like this, "A scroll would be nice please. Otherwise-" He grunted as he picked up the puppet body of his father, "-I'm just gonna carry the old man's body out on my own."

He declared to them as he walked toward the elevator at a slower pace thanks tot he water that was within his father's puppet body.

 * HokageSenju <p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;margin-top:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">In thought: “Such an unnecessary burden….”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Kei’s movements were halted preemptively due to the words of Ari. Why? Because Ari was a Jounin and the Uchiha was one who respected the rules, which includes ranks and order.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">“Hai.... Sensei”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">After throwing up a scroll, Kei made the seal of confrontation in order to unseal its contents; at which seven shuriken fell to the ground harmlessly.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">The fires grew behind them, they had to hurry.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Kei then caught the scroll in his left hand and turned around to walk over to Ari, placing another hand on the puppet before sealing it inside the small scroll which was then given to Ari.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">It was then that the floor cracked below their feet as they had lagged 20 yards or so behind the others. Whether Ari moved or not, Kei did, and fast.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">Assuming that Ari ran along, the two would be dashing off the floor while everything caved in behind them and with a final leap they were able to get inside the elevator just before the doors closed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">The down button had been pressed by Hitomi, who used her Byakugan to time everything just right, and everyone was safe inside.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;line-height:15.75pt;margin-bottom:0px!important;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:TimesNewRoman,serif;">The same jolly old tune played while the ash covered group stood inside the elevator. Kei was panting heavily as he sat down and fell back against the elevator wall. He was tired, at about a third of his reserves, and physically worn out from all of the running. Still, as soon as the elevator doors opened he’d be on his feet again, showing great force of will. But the ride down would take a while (Full round of posts.) 05:25, April 11, 2016
 * Clownfishie <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">She did so much.. But why did she feel this way? A burden and pitiful—To her student that appeared, he was kind enough, a true friend that appeared to help her though this weak moment.. She pushed her limits, both phyiscally and mentally; she was done and tired... Was she a fool for it? Within her shattered and scarred up heart, there was glowing warmth that held itself proud that Kei and Hitomi were not harmed, but what about that Genin and his dog—It was out of her control and maybe.. She was finally thinking about his death.. What was she going to tell his family? It was pitiful how she clung to her student and motioned in haste with him, he was hurt and wanted to support, being there for his sensei her—For a moment, she started to realize all her past mistakes and how imperfect she really was, despite this, she was really glad to have the honor to be both his teacher and friend. As the two motioned closer to the elevator, she tried not to rely too much on Lil’B and she didn’t want to pressure him more with the struggles he was going through—Yet, she kept her arm around his neck and her side leaned up against him just enough to where she didn’t feel as much pain and have to move effort, trying really hard not to rely on him; her body felt like it was being ripped apart muscle by muscle, but that was how beyond tired she was, felt like the intense workouts between her father and herself.

As they reached the elevator, both walking inside, she noticed that Kei ceased and that Ari wasn’t found, she couldn’t help them and didn’t have the strength to—Her faith was in Kei, he proved to be a really strong shinobi and reliable at that, didn’t mean she could worry though. She wanted to be inconsiderate, but she understood how Ari must’ve felt and wouldn’t bash him too hard, he wanted peace for his family, something Kinshi could relate to if one of her teammates or clanmates died—Resting in the elevator with Hitomi and Lil’B, Kinshi pressed her back against the nearest fall of the elevator as her head leaned back and her eyes closed; her mouth opened to release a loud exhale of breath, as she added words at the end of it.' “Thank you.. B-san.”' She said. She didn’t mean the thanks as just a means of him helping her to the elevator, but for everything from letting her be his teacher from being her friend, just being there for her—She wasn’t the easist and most sane person to be friends with, but she was getting better.

Tilting her head off the wall, she felt something off, within the depths of her mind, she was counting down how long it took Kei and Ari—Opening her eyes to look out the elevator, she saw both Kei and hopefully that was Ari, rushing back into the elevator as the floor was starting to fall. Wow. They really did destroy everything.. Nothing was going to be left.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Upon everyone getting into the elevator, the doors would close and everyone would no doubt feel a bit of peace due to the jolly music—At this moment, this was going to be a while until they got to the floor, so Kinshi took this time to recover and collect herself. After a good second or two, her body slowly started to try and overcome the pain, her chakra pool evening out over her body, despite it being low—Leaning herself off the wall, she had to be confident and suffering was alll about the ninja way. As she leaned off this wall, she adjusted the gloves on her hands and held the kunai with a paper bomb attached between her middle and index finger—She was ready, atleast, she thought. She may have not be able to use Ninjutsu, but, she had speed and had strength, and this paperbomb that wouldn’t hurt her chakra pool much, just need a tiny bit and voila, life saver.. But.. Knowing what was beyond the door on another floor.. It wasn’t going to simple.. She was still soaked in water, from head to toe, she looked tired, but her face expressed confidence and composure; that was a leader being strong, she had to be. 05:53, April 11, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">After every one had been in the elevator and she had pressed the button, Hitomi took a deep breath and finally was able to relax for just a moment. Looking around the small area, she'd take a mental stock of who was in the elevator and what each had needed as she placed the container of dumplings back into her pouch.

First, she'd take her first aid kit from her side pouch and remove the ace bandage from it. She'd walk over to B and look to his leg a moment. Seeing what he had done for his splint, she'd look up to him and speak softly. "If I hurt you, I'm sorry." She'd then go about atempting to fix his splint and make it stronger to support his weight with ease. It would be as if he had a proper splint on his leg and he'd feel the support the moment he'd step on it.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She'd then walk over to Kei. Kneeling before him, she'd attempt to tap him on the arm then gave him her warm smile that she always did. First she'd take out her first aid container and take out some cleansing wipes. She'd then attempt to clean the blood that came from his ears. Her touch would be gentle as she'd swipe the wipe across his skin. Knowing how he had acted towards her every other time they had met, she only gave him a soft smile with a slight tilt of her head. Then, placing the rest of the first aid kit away, she'd take out the dumplings once more. Opening up the container, she'd offer him one. He needed the food. He knew it and so did she. If he'd ignore her, she'd be a bit more forceful with it and actually place it in his hand. Her eyes would stay on him as they held a bit of concern in them for him knowing what he had done while they were in the hall. 06:12, April 11, 2016

Ari smiled happily and took the scroll from the Uchiha who sealed his father's puppet away into it. "Thank you very much. Let's go."

Despite the danger of the situation, Ari had the wherewithall to wipe his eyes of lingering tears and took a deep breath before rushing to the elevator where they could all take it to get the hell out of here.

"Sorry 'bout that. Can't let the legend of my old man die in a place like this." He slid down to the ground and sighed, his eyes looking up at the ceiling of the elevator as it moved and the music played, "I wish I could have talked to him again at least..."

Before the elevator would reach its destination, Ari decided to speak a third time to the group, and compeltely out of his normal character, "I don't care who these guys are, or what they're after.  Every last one of them is going to be buried dead or alive for this and everything else."

Big talk from a man with many fractures throughout his body. But as long as he used his kekkei genkai, he could control the fluids of his body and get the porous inner tissue of the bones to heal faster by getting liquid nutrients to them faster, but it would mean using up a lot of his chakra. Though that would be a last resort thing for the time being, and something he just thought of trying on the spur of the moment as it was something he wasn't even sure he could accomplish.
