Kagerou had been ready to fight for her life, but as everyone else jumped into action--commands, warnings, and other information criss-crossing the room--she stood frozen in abject terror. Swarming through the door and pressed against the windows (including, no doubt, the window that was kept covered by a swarm of bugs) were faces of people Kagerou loved and respected. Each and every one of them was accurate down to the smallest detail save for the grotesque scars and twists that disfigured them into monstrous forms.
Leading the pack: her mother and father. Her mother's beauty remained even with the two gashes that tore her mouth open into an eternal smile and the empty eyeholes that gave a peek into the gray matter held within the skull. Her father's face, on the other hand, was mercilessly torn asunder. His nose was completely obliterated, his ears shredded, his eyes looked like someone had shaved right over their surface (even taking the eyelids), and his tongue was scarred beyond recognition. Still, though, Kagerou could not help but find it strange that her father had yet to stumble in his merciless advance. Although, maybe that was because his ribs had formed another pair of legs so now he had six legs, instead of just two, to keep himself steady.
Following right behind her parents, were many others Kagerou recognized. Her uncle, her uncle's deceased wife, all four of her grandparents, the charming lass that had acted as her mentor when she was just learning how to row a gondola, all the people she got to know in detail while everyone worked on reconstructing Kirigakure, and even those neighbors who had died in the great flood. They came in like rolling waves, crawling over each other, each grossly disfigured face showing itself before quickly being overlapped by a monster bearing another face. There was no end to the people Kagerou respected and cared for. Some may she was too nice.
Just seeing made Kagerou shake terribly. She could think well enough to know that this could just be an illusion. However, she couldn't know for certain. After all, weren't the wooden monsters that attacked months ago actually humans encased within a monstrous wooden body? Didn't Kagerou just meet someone, Tetsuya, who was a human turned into a nightmare? Even before that, didn't the white demon claim that it held the spirit and body of someone who Nozomi knew? Everyone had just mysteriously disappeared, what if this was what had happened to them. She didn't know.
Hearing made everything so much worse. The voices of everyone Kagerou knew twisted into a massive howl of mixed emotions. Kagerou could pick out her father's voice, shouting loud warnings and telling Kagerou to run and save herself. Her mother's voice was the exact opposite and it spoke in a gentle, soothing tone, but that made sense. Her mother couldn't help but make everything an act, so her voice didn't need to make sense. The face of her uncle's wife wailed and moaned, grieving for her death and the death of her child. Her uncle, so unlike his usual self, called frantically for his wife and would repeat over and over how he just saw her. Kagerou's grandparents on her mother's side berated Kagerou for standing there unable to do anything. Kagerou's grandparents on her father's side were completely off topic with their offers of sweets and insistence to look at how pretty the flowers were. There was more babble, and even as it meshed into a giant wave of noise, Kagerou felt like she could pick out what each voice was saying. She couldn't hear herself think over the voices. Even if she could, what they said were proving successful in distracting her. It was all so surreal, but so was everything about this nightmare.
Kagerou was in bad shape to be reasoning herself out of the panic. She couldn't think straight. If she had been calm, then she would have realized that there was a danger she had to react to as much as she didn't want to face it, so it didn't matter if the monsters were actually her loved ones. She didn't want her fears to be true, but if they were… Just the thought alone made Kagerou tremble so hard that she couldn't keep a firm grip on the kunai she had pulled out for self-defense and it clattered to the floor when she dropped it. She wanted to run. She wanted to throw up. She wanted to scream. She wanted to cry. What she should have been doing was listening to all of the information being tossed around the room, orders on the formation everyone should take and alerts on the actions of the monsters among them, but she couldn't do that. She was frozen in place, mentally pulled in so many directions that she wasn't going anywhere.
It was Inka's fire that thawed the emotional freeze entrapped Kagerou's mind. When he roasted the approaching threat, the faces and voices of those Kagerou would have done anything to save, she let out a terrified, "NO!" at the top of her lungs. That was it, though, because the "no" that left her lips brought her to her sense. the fragments her mind had been pulled into slowly collected together to fix itself, She blinked, shook her head, and moved back, having taken a step forwards when she shouted. The monsters were still monsters and she still felt a pang of pain when she saw the faces burning in the flames. Kagerou had not stopped shaking, nor had her fear abated even the tiniest bit. However, she could think again and she could differentiate between what was important and what was futile.
Kagerou had collected herself in the nick of time because just then Nozomi came bursting in with orders from Jack. The just calmed medic was still a little slow after her recovery, so it took her a bit to recognize "Jack" as the name of the Mizukage. That was fine, it wasn't like these directions required all that much action from Kagerou because she was huddled right near Miki, the center of the fallback point Inka had decided on. Barring any unpredicted movements from Jack, there wasn't really anywhere Kagerou could go to "stay out of Jack's way."
Then she saw Jack. His entrance had been heralded by a bubble of twisting darkness that burst into golden light. It felt like something that should precede the heroic return of the handsome hero just in the nick of time to save the day. Most of that probably actually did apply, but definitely not the handsome part. Kagerou had been expecting the Mizukage, who was anything but the figure of a hero, but she couldn't expect the Mizukage looking quite the way he did: gem-like eyes, bulging muscles, strangely proportioned fingers. She should have been helping the others, whether it was by continuing to heal or helping the ponytailed girl hold the table against the window, but for the second time in no more than five minutes, Kagerou was mentally shocked into doing nothing but stare.
Jack looked unreal, but Kagerou still recognized him, and at least this time, she had enough of her senses about her to be receptive of the rest of the world. The monsters ran in fear. This was certainly the arrival of a hero, but he looked anything but heroic, or at least the pure type of heroic that the light bursting from darkness would suggest. If Kagerou had to guess, he looked angry. A very scary kind of angry that she had seen maybe only once before. About what, she could only guess until he lay down the bundle ever so gently and she saw that it was a human. A sentimental touch, and her guess became that much more likely.
The reason for the monsters' retreat was quickly made obvious. While Kagerou's was still curiously eyeing the laid bundle of human and the normal flooring beneath him, she saw, in her peripheral vision, Jack's cloak open wide. In the next instant, it wouldn't be exaggeration to say that everything went to hell. First power then a cold. Already, monsters were dying left and right. Then the storm hit and the office tremored as nature itself seemed to echo Jack's anger. Kagerou pivoted quickly, keeping her balance despite the rumbling of the ground. she gave the concern a fleeting thought before setting it aside as a problem she could do nothing about. Through the broken windows, the wind and rain streamed through relentlessly. She could only see that a storm raged in their immediate vicinity, but her intuition told her that it probably covered the entire village.
As time passed, the shaking only got worse. Before long, Kagerou would be forced to a knee if she didn't want to hit her face. Although, she didn't want to have to stop here. "Keep Miki safe and get her to a hospital asap when this is all over," she told whoever was listening. Miki wasn't stable yet but there was nothing more Kagerou could do that someone else couldn't. All Miki needed now was someone to keep her safe from the quaking. It was hard to accept, but she couldn't let herself tunnel vision. There was already someone else unconscious in the short time she had spent obsessed over a cause she couldn't do much to help.
Kagerou stumbled as quickly as possible to Inka and Shadow. Although, she didn't quite make it, what with how it felt like the earth itself was trying to topple everything atop it, and she ended up falling flat on her face about a foot from where the two kept themselves steady. By the time she picked herself up, though, the shaking had already stopped. Kagerou hesitated for a moment, and the slowly growing light drew her eyes to the window where she could see the first signs of daylight since this nightmare began. she wondered if the nightmare, the outrageous show of power, the storm, the shaking, if everything was over.
However, she didn't finish that thought. The nightmare may have been over, but the fight was not. Not for her at least. She crawl-walked the final few steps to Inka and knelt close to him. "Excuse me," she remembered that this was her superior she was talking to and tried to have some patience, "I have a little medical training. Could I please see him?". A hospital would be great right now, much better than what Kagerou could offer, but before moving him anywhere, it would be best to make sure he should be moved in the first place.
While her voice was measured, her arms were reaching out impatiently, ready to either receive Shadow or examine him while he rest in the other's arms. Her eyes were in an even greater rush, their attention wholly on the black-haired teen. She didn't recognize him (when she entered the office, she had been too concerned with Miki to even finish looking for the voice that gathered everyone) and was fairly certain she would if she knew who he was. He had cat ears and a tail. That wasn't normal and, if circumstances weren't so dire, she would have immediately wanted to pat them. Right now, though, the only thing going through her head about the extra appendages was the hope that they were the only thing different from the default human body. There was also a wooden(?) arm with some sort of glowing inside that could be seen through a splinter in the outer coat, which Kagerou could recognize as a puppet arm from watching her mother but knew nothing more about. She didn't know what to do about the mechanical attachment, but she did know to look at where it connected with flesh to check for any signs of irritation or damage from hard material budging against soft flesh. Other than the anomalies, the only thing Kagerou's eyes could make out was, strangely enough, frostbite. She wasn't sure how it got there, which made her wonder if maybe it wasn't some sort of dusting darkening the skin, but it certainly looked like frostbite. Nothing told her why the male was unconscious. That meant the problem was probably internal, either physical or mentally.

• Specialist -The user chooses to specializing in healing medical techniques and gains a great boost to their chakra control in that area. At Chunnin, they gain a -5 chakra reduction to perform techniques in their specialty. at Jounin, -10, at Konin -15 at Sannin -20. To clarify, they they gain a -5 chakra reduction every rank, to a maximum of -20 at sannin. All medical jutsu are still learnable by both sides, but the chakra control only applies to the chosen side.
• Grand Performance - The user can perform both types of arts (ninjutsu and genjutsu) through their performance or instrument, often casting them at the same time (must pay for both techniques). Can perform D rank techniques through instrument at gennin, C at Chunnin, B at jounin, A at Konin, and S at Sannin.
• Learn Medical techniques one (1) post faster.
• Learn ninjutsu (1) post faster.
• Learn genjutsu one (1) post faster.
• I'll think of a name later - Through the use of custom techs, Kagerou can swap between the normally limited abilities and techniques for her sharingan, potentially giving her access to all eye abilities and mangekyou techs. She can never have more than the written limits at any one time (e.g. access to all eye abilities but cannot use more than two at a time). In addition to learning the required custom and whatever additional requirements that custom might have, Kagerou needs to fulfill certain conditions for a safe swap. Each Sharingan ability or technique swapped must be retrained and adjusted to, a process that takes twenty [20] posts at first for each Sharingan ability/technique, is reduced by two [2] posts every time the Sharingan ability/technique is safely retrained, and can take a minimum of six [6] posts per Sharingan ability/technique. If necessary, Kagerou can perform a riskier, instant swap on the fly without the readjustment period, but these swaps can only last for up to five [5] posts and disables the Sharingan, which needs to recover from the strain, for twice [x2] the number of posts that the swap lasted for. Techniques learned with the 'To Copy' Sharingan ability, which can be swapped out, are not forgotten but must be retrained every time Kagerou safely swaps to the 'To Copy' ability. Instant swaps to the 'To Copy' ability give Kagerou all of her copied techniques without needing to retrain them. For every time Kagerou safely swaps to her 'To Copy' ability, her copied techniques take two [2] less posts to retrain, going down to a minimum of one [1] post to retrain each copied technique.
• Miracle Performance - Kagerou can perform healing eiseijutsu through her performance/instrument as if it was ninjutsu of the same rank. When performing healing medical techniques, she can target anyone who can hear her music with the jutsu. I.e. she no longer has to be within touch range of the target to use healing hands.
• The Good Host - 1/2 off all implant chakra requirements.
• Mind and Body - A sound soul resides in a sound mind and a sound body. To ensure the health of all three, Kagerou must master every aspect of medicine. Kagerou gains an additional medical field type. The additional type needs to be trained separately from the first.
• Evergreen Growth - Life always finds a way, especially when it's helped by someone who truly cherishes it. Plants cultivated by Kagerou grow as if the soil they are nourished by is +1 grade higher than it actually is. Unfertilized soil yields crops in 2 rl weeks. Low-grade fertilizer yields crops in 1 week. High-grade fertilizer reaches a new level of fast and yields crops in 4 days. (Post-acceptance note: I just realized that there is an Evergreen religion in this guild. I did not mean for this to be a religious PA in any way. It's just botany. I hope that's not a problem.)

☥Noémi would probably say she had seen everything after that had happened, but when the man going by Jack entered into the room with the shinobi fending for there lives she'd have to amend the statement. While everything about the mans appearance was wrong in some way, just looking at him seemed to unravel the knot in her gut and fill her body with hope. She couldn't explain it because of how wrong he look with his elongated fingers and gemstone eyes, he was just as bad as the beast stealing memories at a glance. The grip on her weapon tightened when the man dropped the crumpled up shape of her hero on the floor. With how he took out that eldritch abomination she was struggling to imagen what could have beat him. The man who was fasting wide arcs of flames and explosions scooped up her hero at the gemstone eyed mans command. She would have moved to see what was wrong if her legs weren't made of jelly and her spine rigged as the gemstone man began what she would dub his domination over the thieving shadows. Her instincts started kicking in, while he filled her with hope before he was filling her with nothing but warning sirens now. She stumbled on her jelly legs to the window the black haired mop had covered with the desk. "I believe it is time for the cover now?" She half asked half demanded, gripping part of the desk and using it as a shield for whatever was coming. "Are you sure I am not still asleep in my bed?" She looked over at the mop of black hair and smiled. What followed was a blur for her,; it rattled the marrow in her bones, it made her feel like her teeth where falling out, and it momentarily blinded her. The buildings fell apart around them, her only solace was desk she was hiding beneath. At some point her jellyed legs had given out on her, bringing her face to hard tile below. pain radiated from her nose as she tried gripping onto the floor as the world shook. When she opened her eyes she was greeted with the sight of the floor speckled in blood from when her nose made contact with it, her ears ringing, and the overwhelming need to just call it a day and try this whole shinobi life some other day. "Merde..." She cursed, looking over at her partner in crime the black mop of hair. Chakra Pool:: [255 //255] Stamina Pool:: [245 //245] Kikaichu Pool:: [0,000 //2,000]
Quote; "It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect." :: Patrick Rothfuss Noémi's Theme; Control :: Nightcore Version
Taylor had got to a standing position since a few moments before the horde started crashing through. But her mind was on the screams of her oldest friend and companion. She heard her in absolute agony and saw her fly past the window on her way to the ground where she would lay; her final resting place. She didnt quite run but certainly wasnt walking as she moved out the door, bumping shoulders with someone in the room, not really noticing who it was or the fact that it nearly made her lose her balance and fall.
She lifted her mask off her head, her hair a bit sweaty and frazzled as she knealt beside her many legged friend as she rested a gloved hand on her head. She couldnt do anything here. She bit back the tears as always, her jaw set and willing the pain back into her stomach it took her a minute to shove away her feelings. Shen she would wait for her friend to close her eyes, draw her stiletto knife and plunge it into her companions brain, ending its torment.She kept a quiet vigil over her now deceased friend. Her mind drifted to the laws of nature. It would have happened eventually but she had somehow thought that she would keep grue safe, at least long enough for her brood to carry on her lineage. The silence around her gave way to the sounds of chatter from inside. However she had a few more grim duties. She would carefully remove the fangs of her friend, having her kikkaichu reproduce in bulk as she delved into her task, placing the fangs both into a backpack strapped to one of the many legs of her friend. She would unbuckle this and turn her head as her kikkaichu flowed over her now deceased partner, devouring all traces of toxin and carapace. She wouldn't move until this was finished.
As the air shifted to one heavier Kumotake's focus deterred to what could only be considered jack as motes of light played their ballet of brutality. IT wouldn't be long before any if not all of the looming threats were eviscerated and while most were caught in a sense of awe at Jack's visage Kumotake found it too flashy in his opinion as he found discomfort in resisting the pressure it emanated. Kumotake took it upon himself thusly to order Sukoso to withdraw and withdraw he did as he leapt back. Only seconds later did the Kikai manning the window shift their attention to providing cover for the host and accomplice with the added bonus of all who were behind him in the event of stray crossfire. It might as well have smelled like an insect orgy to say the least. Picking up pheromonic signatures from at least three other Aburame and Jack literally producing a bukkake special all over the air.
Haunted no longer he looked in Kirama's direction to make a snark agreement with him about an far earlier remark he made. "The feelings mutual we didn't have to deal with this kinda s**t in Konoha. Still if I were to weigh my options I'd rather be here than there." Kumotake's kikiachu would thusly disperse some returning while others having done their service in the field passed away becoming dust in the wind crumbling into the great beyond. "So what now?!" Jacks overwhelming success had purged the nightmare but Kumotake voiced what was quite possibly still on everyone's minds. Where do they go from here? Kumotake took this moment to look out a window and visibly cringed. WE JUST FIXED EVERYTHING, and low and behold with many a unenthusiastic woohoo inside his head he was not looking forward to MORE got damn reparations.
Kagerou made a bee line for the downed shadow and Inka looked bedraggled and more or less just damn well pleased it was all over. That feeling he knew for certain was indefinitely mutual. He didn't know where that freakshow of nin was but he could only guess their Mizukage came through and dispatched of him. This was a bag of asses to say the least and speaking of bags. If the party was truly finally over he wondered what was in those damn things as he and Kirama and the unconscious Miki had yet to crack the things open during this s**t fest. Cool entrances aside Kumotake's black met with the Mizukage's emerald expectant of orders or something. At the very least some affirmation that it really was all over.

P a s s i v e s : : > •Venomous Union: Kumotake and Sukoso share the inherent ability with each other to produce venom from fangs. Their bond has granted Kumotake with a set of poison glands to accompany them. His poison is weak in comparison to Sukoso's and isn't lethal...truth be told he prefer not to use it unless absolutely necessary.
> • One Among Many: Sukoso and Kumotake had shared a bond so close that Sukoso sought a way to stand out from the other spiders and demonstrate it's strength to compensate for Kumotake's weak demeanor in the face of danger and abuse. The result was Sukoso freely able to manipulate it's size among three categories. Minuscule enough to retreat into Kumotake's body which was it's original form, slightly larger as a normal spider, and finally large enough to be ridden. It takes a full post to change in size, There's a cooldown of at least 1 full post, must be in physical contact.
•Adhesive Pores: Kumotake can now crawl or crabwalk creepily on all fours. When doing so he can climb flat surfaces and cling without the need for the water walking jutsu. Still, this is incredibly slow and inefficient for any purpose other than stealth. It's also incredibly unsettling to watch.

Confused, the red haired Aburame sensed another insect pheonomoes. Or rather, her bugs did. It didn't belong to Taylor, Kumotake, or even Jack.. it was brand new. Her honey hues glanced over and she saw her. Miscolored female with bright hues of a hair. No time to think about that. Before Jack exited the door, she heard someone growled her name, her eyes darted towards Inka. He seemed less than please to even see her. He signaled her over and she took a step, but stopped in her tracks. She had a feeling if she did go over there, she would most likely accidently end up in Jack's way as she shook her head at the brunette male. Just in time, he may not even seen her shake her head as Jack was facing Inka. Nozomi grimaced as she closed her eyelids at the sudden bright light emerging the room in bursts, taking care of those shadow creatures. Her hands went over her ears when a thunderous roar shook the room as it was gone as fast as it appeared.
It was quiet. So quiet. Her breaths were shaky now. A warmth crept on her cheeks as she slowly opened her eyelids, the sun's warmth was filling up the room. And not just the warmth, but the light of the rays. The silence was broken when Inka had yelled at everyone and pointing out that they still got injured. She didn't know any eiseijutsu but she will help what she can. Standing up, she was shaking but her eyes went over to the Mizukage. Deeply concerned to ... what happened back there, she didn't dare to speak of it. It was Jack's choice to speak if he wishes, but if anyone asked her, she wouldn't answer. As she made her way over to Jack, it was then, she remembered how young he really was. Nozomi, had forgotten over and over... that he was younger than her. All of this, all of Kirigakure people on his shoulders and his only person he could confide in... wasn't gone but was not the same nor Shadow would ever remember him. Her hand reached out as she gently rest on Jack's forearm and gave it a gentle and warming grasp, "Jack. I will help you. Whatever you want me to do to help you... I'll do it." Her eyes were determined. Jack and her didn't have a close relationship but Shadow and him did, and if it helps Jack to carry Kirigakure on his shoulders easily to get Shadow back as his brother, she will help him.
Butterfly Kisses - Nozomi is able to cast her genjutsu, if they are touch based, through her insects. She makes the handsigns, but the jutsu is delivered by the insects. Example, if Nozomi have six insects on six people, all would be affected by her genjutsu. It would cost 2 ranks less per person to use. Such as if the technique is A-rank, it would cost C-rank chakra per person. While the cost of the technique drops two rank, so does the power.
Class Discipline/Personal Attribute:
Mother's Heart - Nozomi is able to communicate with anything living that is of the Arthropoda phylum order. She can gather Intel from the Arthropoda phylum creatures that is within 10 meters radius, usually used to track someone down.

___The office exploded in a flurry of activity as Jack finally entered the fray, or at least the part of the fray they were all a part of. Considering how wild things got when he arrived, Kirama had to wonder how absurd they were wherever that door led. He also had to wonder what the source of all this was. Where Jack had been and why this had been both so destructive and so prolonged, considering the man was obviously capable of decimating their hellish trap? The only one capable of doing so. ___Violent winds raced as the building shook beneath his feet, a previous entered fighting stance saving the genin from falling as he deactivated his Byakugan for the first time since all this started. The swirling mass of concentrated nonsense screaming about the village was impossible to follow even for him, and not being tempted to try watching it all at once was better than the alternative. Even without his perceptive abilities, the curious teen couldn't help but stare at the man at the center of everything in the village, quite literally. Was he the savior he seemed to be, or was he the cause? ___"Surely this wasn't all just an exercise to glorify himself." A voice inside the boy's head asked, as he watched Kumotake head off towards Shadow. Was the man that lead this village capable of that? Fabricating a tale to inflate his own narrative at the expense of those around him? Harboring something dangerous enough that his existence threatened to literally rip his charges limb from limb? The blood caked-Hyuga wondered as he tore his eyes away, turning to take a seat at Miki's feet. Well, foot. Kirama had very little compulsion to rush to the side of their squad leader who, from his perspective, had sent his newest team member on a wild goose chase to get him out of the way and then abandoned a bunch of green shinobi to their fate in a world that ended up almost killing even him. ___It didn't help that he'd not even been introduce to his squad before everything went to hell. He may have went to sit next to Miki, partly out of a desire to not celebrate what he saw as a poor outcome and partly out of a desire to make sure she didn't feel abandoned, but they hardly knew a damned thing about each other. Their collective communication wouldn't even form a decent length paragraph, and half their interaction could be boiled down to the massive amounts of her caked blood currently covering him. ___A bare, red arm snatched up the bag that had dropped from its shitty little llama, shaking it slightly as he stared, almost expecting it to do something of its own accord. Some last gasp of this hideousness that Jack just drove off.
[･･･] Red eyes blinked and observed the girl crawling towards him, obviously shaken by the recent events. "Sure ya ain't needin' care yerself?" He asked, but otherwise didn't stop the girl from inspecting Shadow. Inka certainly knew nothing about repairing injuries. "Jus dun crowd him if he starts ta wake." He warned, eyes already moving to evaluate everyone else still in the office. Poor Taylor... Inka would let her have her moment to mourn and check on her another time. Soon, but certainly not that second. Others were still trembling or huddled behind him, though the awe-inspiring actions of Jack seemed to get enough of them moving. Inka reached out to ruffle Kumotake's head when he had approached. "Do me a favour," Inka spoke to the lanky Genin. "See who can be safely transported to the hospital and get 'em ready ta do so. And I mean everyone - ain't leavin' things ta chance." With that, he bagn to gently scoot back and lay Shadow down on the floor proper, giving the aspiring medic better access. At a stand, Inka cracked his neck and rolled his bad shoulder, fingers digging into the scar tissue there. Red eyes caught on Nozomi and he set off after her. He allowed her to say her piece, but spoke up almost immediately afterwards.
"Aburame Nozomi," Inka growled, flashing teeth and seething eyes. "Do you have any idea how completely irresponsible your actions were?" He spat out, standing tall and furious. "You've abandoned your post, and the people within it, once already, Aburame. Get back in there and get the injured ready to move or get out until your called in for an official reprimand. Understood?" He spoke coldly. He turned his attention to Jack. "Now isn't the time for selfish wants. Not when wounds still seep. Mourn later; the living needs us. Unless you can help heal, Mizukage sama, I'm getting us all out of here and to the hospital." With that, the Jounin turned to face the rest of the room's occupants.
"Everyone! Get ready to move out. If ya can't, the ones still capable of fightin' will stay here until I bring back help. Otherwise, we move as a group." He looked over his shoulder to Jack standing behind him. "On your command, Mizukage." The use of title was deliberate, a reminder that Jack still had a duty to perform; the burdon of leadership was to sacrifice their own personal wants and desires for the greater good of all.

Steady hands received Shadow. Somehow, Kagerou even managed to pull off a smile, a rather good one at that, in silent response to Inka's comment on her own state of wellbeing. In her opinion, everyone needed care, not just her. Even if it was only the most basic care, she wasn't going to rest while there was something she could do, just like how everyone else in the office remained inside, presumably waiting for orders. As Inka walked forwards to guide the rest of the building, he would hear a gentle, "I won't," as Kagerou assured him that Shadow would get his space if he woke up. Her words were only tinged with the slightest bit of weariness, the tipe of the iceberg in Kagerou's case.
While she cradled Shadow, Kagerou's hands swiftly moved from spot to spot, checking his heartbeat for a half a minute before checking his breathing followed up by a pull on his eyelid to get a quick glance below it. There was some miscellaneous but careful poking to make sure nothing was too wrong and then Kagerou carefully lay Shadow down on the ground, doing her best to not move his neck too much just in case. She pulled off her jacket in one smooth motion and quickly rolled it into a passable pillow which she placed under Shadow's head for the time being. It was as Kagerou thought, the only problems were the confirmed bits of frostbite on Shadow's hand, which she quickly fixed up with a few hand signs, a muttered technique name, and some waving of her hands over the afflicted areas. If she could fix them immediately even at her level, then clearly they weren't the cause of his unconscious state.
Kagerou did a second, more deliberate analysis of Shadow's body. There were no anomalies with his heart rate and she determined that his breathing was as normal as she first thought. Nothing appeared to be broken. The neck and head were sensitive spots, but if the way the Mizukage carried him earlier was any indication (and Kagerou assumed that Jack saw the cause of Shadow's state and would know better than to carelessly carry someone that might be suffering from a neck injury), then Shadow's neck and head were fine. The only conclusion she could come to was mental trauma, which was terrible. "He's just a kid," Kagerou mumbled to herself as she sat back after her fruitless diagnosis. It was terrible for a kid to have to go through something so scarring it knocked them right out, and judging from his missing arm, he wasn't a fragile snowflake either. Yeah, she knew he looked about her age, but she also thought of herself as a kid plenty of times. She also didn't know that Shadow was the one that called together everybody. She just thought he was like Nozomi: some genin who slipped in trying to help.
Kagerou only had a moment of rest before Inka's orders cut through whatever chaos might have been babbling about in the room. She turned her neck to look at him as he spoke, giving him his full attention only to take her time once he'd finished. Besides turning her neck forwards, she didn't move for a bit. It wasn't to think. She wouldn't have time for that. She just, inexplicably, wanted to be still for a moment after everything that had happened. A moment to partially collect herself, a stopgap to prevent the building emotions from pouring out. Inka had ended with a pass of command to the Mizukage. Kagerou intended to be the one to carry Shadow down, she didn't want to burden anyone else with the task, but she wouldn't need to prepare much to follow everyone: take her jacket, take Shadow, and then go. She could do nothing until the Mizukage finalized the orders and not lag too far behind the others even with the late start.

• Specialist -The user chooses to specializing in healing medical techniques and gains a great boost to their chakra control in that area. At Chunnin, they gain a -5 chakra reduction to perform techniques in their specialty. at Jounin, -10, at Konin -15 at Sannin -20. To clarify, they they gain a -5 chakra reduction every rank, to a maximum of -20 at sannin. All medical jutsu are still learnable by both sides, but the chakra control only applies to the chosen side.
• Grand Performance - The user can perform both types of arts (ninjutsu and genjutsu) through their performance or instrument, often casting them at the same time (must pay for both techniques). Can perform D rank techniques through instrument at gennin, C at Chunnin, B at jounin, A at Konin, and S at Sannin.
• Learn Medical techniques one (1) post faster.
• Learn ninjutsu (1) post faster.
• Learn genjutsu one (1) post faster.
• I'll think of a name later - Through the use of custom techs, Kagerou can swap between the normally limited abilities and techniques for her sharingan, potentially giving her access to all eye abilities and mangekyou techs. She can never have more than the written limits at any one time (e.g. access to all eye abilities but cannot use more than two at a time). In addition to learning the required custom and whatever additional requirements that custom might have, Kagerou needs to fulfill certain conditions for a safe swap. Each Sharingan ability or technique swapped must be retrained and adjusted to, a process that takes twenty [20] posts at first for each Sharingan ability/technique, is reduced by two [2] posts every time the Sharingan ability/technique is safely retrained, and can take a minimum of six [6] posts per Sharingan ability/technique. If necessary, Kagerou can perform a riskier, instant swap on the fly without the readjustment period, but these swaps can only last for up to five [5] posts and disables the Sharingan, which needs to recover from the strain, for twice [x2] the number of posts that the swap lasted for. Techniques learned with the 'To Copy' Sharingan ability, which can be swapped out, are not forgotten but must be retrained every time Kagerou safely swaps to the 'To Copy' ability. Instant swaps to the 'To Copy' ability give Kagerou all of her copied techniques without needing to retrain them. For every time Kagerou safely swaps to her 'To Copy' ability, her copied techniques take two [2] less posts to retrain, going down to a minimum of one [1] post to retrain each copied technique.
• Miracle Performance - Kagerou can perform healing eiseijutsu through her performance/instrument as if it was ninjutsu of the same rank. When performing healing medical techniques, she can target anyone who can hear her music with the jutsu. I.e. she no longer has to be within touch range of the target to use healing hands.
• The Good Host - 1/2 off all implant chakra requirements.
• Mind and Body - A sound soul resides in a sound mind and a sound body. To ensure the health of all three, Kagerou must master every aspect of medicine. Kagerou gains an additional medical field type. The additional type needs to be trained separately from the first.
• Evergreen Growth - Life always finds a way, especially when it's helped by someone who truly cherishes it. Plants cultivated by Kagerou grow as if the soil they are nourished by is +1 grade higher than it actually is. Unfertilized soil yields crops in 2 rl weeks. Low-grade fertilizer yields crops in 1 week. High-grade fertilizer reaches a new level of fast and yields crops in 4 days. (Post-acceptance note: I just realized that there is an Evergreen religion in this guild. I did not mean for this to be a religious PA in any way. It's just botany. I hope that's not a problem.)
After more than a few minutes of rowing, Inori finally found herself at the docks which encircled the base of the titanic tree. With, admittedly, an amount of difficulty she managed to get the boat tied off to the dock though the fact she still was wearing her heels did not help her any when she actually stepped off the boat. The moment her foot made contact with the wooden planks of the docks she stumbled a bit and only managed to recover herself after using her bo-staff as a walking stick of sorts. Letting out a soft chuckle in embarrassment she righted herself quickly once more.
Again, as before she took the time to make sure she was presentable by patting down her dress and adjusting her gloves. Once she was satisfied with her attire she quickly addressed her hair which had started fraying from the moisture in the air. With deft hands she pulled a small pearl comb from under her sash and fixed her hair so that it would sit down properly, though for how long was definitely up for debate.
Now that she was overall satisfied that she was ready to meet the Mizukage she headed inwards towards the lifts. On the way there she went over mentally all of the information she had on the man. His name was Jack Snipe, a skilled musician, and oddly enough one creepy person. Despite her desires to get more information that was all she was able to garner before being sent here. It wasnt helped either by the fact that no matter where she looked she could not find any civilians to ask about the matter.
Once she made her way through the docks to the lifts she pushed the button calling the lift and waited.... and waited.. Letting out a little huff she pushed the button again but apparently it refused to even acknowledge her use of the button, an insubordinate lift it seemed. So she went to the next lift and tried the same thing....with exactly the same result. This time she had let her irritation show as she let out an exasperated groan in both annoyance and frustration. Letting out yet another huff she turned and walked a few feet away from the lifts and decided she was going to wait. I didnt matter how long she had to wait for someone to come down that bloody lift but she was going to take it right back up once they did. Either way this lift would loose that was for certain.

It seemed that Inka wasn't going to let Jack respond to Nozomi as her name hissed through his lips. She glanced towards him and was slightly surprised at his anger. Then he informed her to of why he was angry. Her heart dropped. It seemed, whenever she tried to do right, she was always wrong. First, there was Shadow, who ordered her to not show herself in front of the creature. She did not. Yet, he assumed that she did and as a jounin, he was always right. Then there's Takeda, the very boy she had helped taught to learn their language and culture and nearly killed him. By no fault but her own. And now? Inka had said she had abandoned her post. Even told her to get out if needed to be until she gets reprimanded. With shaking hands, she reached to her hood edges and pulls them over her head, so no one can see her face, or even her puffy pink eyes. Jounin... they don't even ... Ugh. They were ordered to close the door yes, but she wasn't ordered to stay. She didn't want a comrade or an ally to face such darkness alone. Pain and frustration clutched her heart but she kept it down. This wasn't the first time the higher ups had pulled this around her. By now, Nozomi had gotten used to it.
As she pulled away from Jack, Nozomi exhaled slowly. Lower ranks were wrong. Higher ups were always right. For example, first by her family, and now her own Kirigakure shinobi allies. Through blurry eyes which no one can see, she inhaled deeply as she glanced over to Miki. Walked towards Kumotake and one other male, who she had not yet met, "We should take her to the hospital. Will one of you carry her, and I'll support?" She questioned towards them, her voice soft as always, not showing signs of breakage. She will be damned if she breaks down here. She had been through so much, she's not going to let Inka bother her. One thing for sure, all of this will remind her to be kind to her students. To listen to them. To hear them to why they did what they did instead of pulling ranks and assuming, pulling them into darkness just as Inka now did to Nozomi. If anyone were to look at her, they may recognize her by her clothing and tattle tale signs of her blood red hair strands, but nothing else, the hood shadows her face.
Butterfly Kisses - Nozomi is able to cast her genjutsu, if they are touch based, through her insects. She makes the handsigns, but the jutsu is delivered by the insects. Example, if Nozomi have six insects on six people, all would be affected by her genjutsu. It would cost 2 ranks less per person to use. Such as if the technique is A-rank, it would cost C-rank chakra per person. While the cost of the technique drops two rank, so does the power.
Class Discipline/Personal Attribute:
Mother's Heart - Nozomi is able to communicate with anything living that is of the Arthropoda phylum order. She can gather Intel from the Arthropoda phylum creatures that is within 10 meters radius, usually used to track someone down.

-----[ I ]t seemed at first that Jack was in no way paying attention to anyone, at least, not if one was paying attention to body language. Few could sense as he could, with sage chakra rippling through him, which made it impossible for them to understand what it was he was doing: feeling. The power of the Sage was the connection to the planet, and to the reality in which it rested. It was the power of connection to all things, from the stars above to the molten core at the center of the planet. With it, the Mizukage was doing something that the others had likely already considered, but simply had no means to accomplish: searching for survivors, and any after effects. Moments of silence passed as angry words crackled with negative energy behind him, though the words simply flowed into his memory without being recognized or reacted to. In essence, Jack had pulled back within himself to allow all things to spider over a consciousness guarded by his own mental abilities so as to observe without directly recognizing. This allowed him the time to recognize the survivors still scattered about, from the figure of a woman he had met a few times prior to a child who, from the records he had memorized, had just been returning from his graduation missions. -----But of the aftereffects brought on by both Nightmare and Dream, there was no trace. -----Slowly his translucent wings collapsed, their nature allowing them to overlap perfectly until they spooled around his shoulders, a cloak of vaguely purple and blue color with a shimmering finish. Eyes glowing for a moment longer they, too, changed, those returning to the green eyes that Jack had settled upon long ago. Still the blue lines existed, and his fingers, while longer, only resembled now the graceful, elfen hands of one who worked in places clearly in need of a finer touch than a human's could provide. Still he remained, staring into oblivion, as orders were given behind him, as his mind hastily processed with surgical precision what had passed in his mental recession. -----And finally, at last, breath whistled quietly to fill his lungs. -----Jack blinked. -----Words came from him in the tone of one who had suffered loss, though with a calm that would, hopefully, soothe the others at its sound. Control, discipline, and concern, but strength in spades. "With one change, Inka, I accept. I would have one of you travel to the outskirts, to the walls themselves." Without turning, eyes in the distance, there came a low rumbling as stones and wood below twisted and turned, shuffling to life. "Nozomi, I ask you to do this for me..." Words that carried another weight, one of...an odd emotion that not even Jack himself could describe. Trust, acceptance...hope, even, that she would help while he struggled for control. Seeing her face now, knowing that she knew...it would return the Mizukage to a place where he could not tread: not now. One step at a time, one breath, one beat. "Besides the Father Gates you will find a small gateway, on the west side. Enter, and within you will find...script. When you hear my final orders, you are to break that line by whatever means you deem necessary. I warn you: do not attempt to feast upon the chakra stored there. Do not break it until you receive word." As the stones in the distance began to move, as the buildings and walkways, burned remains and empty homes asserted the demand to return to their former designs, all Jack could do was keep his mind firmly off of why these orders were necessary. It was a necessity he wished never to have needed, and yet had to remain hidden. No one could know, could find out. They wouldn't...understand. -----Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. -----Injecting more authority into his voice, the Mizukage continued, though this time towards the others gathered. "There are two survivors within the hospital. Ensure they are kept away from anywhere the medical shinobi would have stood. Find a storeroom, a cage, and hide yourselves within until the others return. I would not have more carnage upon this land." Slowly, cautiously, the Mizukage turned his head to speak over his shoulder, a soft, green eyes staring firmly at them all with an expression of...neutrality. -----Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. -----"This nightmare is over." -----Though in truth, his had only just begun.

"I Must Drag Truth Kicking and Screaming into the Light"
Kumotake as if having had something in his ears had his pinky digging within as if trying to pull something out. In doing so a single Kikaichu came with it. Resting on his finger the Kikaichu began to speak in what seemed like an eldritch tongue or what could be considered a madman's mumblings in a language seemingly foreign. Rightly just a bit unsettled by this he'd place his pinky nearest his neck in which the Kikaichu returned back inside. It seemed this event had caused a few of them to have rightly gone mad to a degree. Though he would leave them to the care of the others that resided within him.
Inka gave personal order to escort the injured. Nozomi's approach thusly thereafter and requesting assistance aswell left him with an uneasiness. It still remained the same. The two of them had only infrequently and every so often spoke to each other and in recent events her presence had become become even more scarce. It was then Jack decided to give her an exclusive task meaning that Miki's assistance would fall upon them. "Don't worry Nozomi, we'll handle Miki." He'd reassure her making it so she could proceed with Jack's request of her with little hesitation.
"Kirama." He'd say in accentuated voice to rattle whatever thoughts or doubts he was preoccupying himself with. "Let's get a move on." Kumotake would then try to sling Miki's good arm beneath him. He would then attempt to stand..only to realize he couldn't. It wasn't due to his injuries or anything of the sort...he just simply wasn't built for lifting anything with his lack of muscle and Miki was dead weight. "Tch...on second thought." With eyes shifting towards Kirama expectantly it was an embarrassing scenario to a degree as Kumotake laid Miki back in her recovering position. "I'm not really cut out for heavy lifting. You think you could." his black eyes shifted toward his spider. Sukoso was the brawn clearly as he seemed sizable enough to carry a rider or two.
He'd await Kirama's transition of Miki before they would ferry her to the hospital. He'd then make eyes towards Jack. The way Nozomi had spoke to him earlier seemed to cause something to resonate inside of him. A feeling he couldn't entirely explain but suppressing it he'd toss something from his pocket towards Jack. "Not sure how many others have em' but It was sent out before everything happened you wanted these." The useless key was tossed casually in Jack's direction if he was still tuned out, chances were it would have landed nearest him. "I submitted some requests before all went to hell to if you need some busy work to keep your mind off..." He looked briefly as Shadow was being tended to by Kagerou. ...things. he said as if he shared some of the Mizukage's distress although to a much lesser degree for there was no way he could truly understood. Although it might have come off as disrespectful Kumotake spoke to the kage more so as if he was just another person screwed over by this mess rather than the all powerful Kage Sage Man Sama Senpai in which he was usually addressed.

P a s s i v e s : : > •Venomous Union: Kumotake and Sukoso share the inherent ability with each other to produce venom from fangs. Their bond has granted Kumotake with a set of poison glands to accompany them. His poison is weak in comparison to Sukoso's and isn't lethal...truth be told he prefer not to use it unless absolutely necessary.
> • One Among Many: Sukoso and Kumotake had shared a bond so close that Sukoso sought a way to stand out from the other spiders and demonstrate it's strength to compensate for Kumotake's weak demeanor in the face of danger and abuse. The result was Sukoso freely able to manipulate it's size among three categories. Minuscule enough to retreat into Kumotake's body which was it's original form, slightly larger as a normal spider, and finally large enough to be ridden. It takes a full post to change in size, There's a cooldown of at least 1 full post, must be in physical contact.
•Adhesive Pores: Kumotake can now crawl or crabwalk creepily on all fours. When doing so he can climb flat surfaces and cling without the need for the water walking jutsu. Still, this is incredibly slow and inefficient for any purpose other than stealth. It's also incredibly unsettling to watch.

___Kirama stared placidly as Jack transformed back into his more frail form, glancing to the girl as she suggested someone transport Miki to the hospital. It was going to have to be him, he knew it was going to have to be him. Out of everyone here capable of and caring to help her, only Kirama was fit enough for the job. Their lanky a** Aburame squadmate was likely to hurt himself further even trying. But for some reason that he couldn't quite place, Kirama didn't want to. ___ It took him a moment to sort things out again, but he settled in on the idea that he didn't want to cause more damage by being hasty. He'd caused her enough discomfort, even if getting here had ultimately saved her life. Now she was much more likely to be lucid for any painful trip across the village. Thankfully Kumotake came to the rescue. Jacks orders were spread, and odd though they were, Kirama was ready to follow without comment - until he deigned to speak upon the state of affairs for which he was, at least in Kirama's eyes, so overwhelmingly absent and so thoroughly unaffected. Perhaps the failings of a young shinobi too dependent upon and caught up in the legacy of his own abilities. But an impression none the less. ___A derisive snort would cut its way across the lobby, were it quiet enough. It's source, Kirama Hyuga, who casually tied the mystery bag to his waist. ___"Over? Does that look like it's over to you?" He asked their glorious leader, a tinge of heat in his words again as he gestured toward his gravely wounded squad member. How could he even say that? None of this was over, and none of it would be over for years to come. That wasn't how people worked. They didn't get to the end of a story and just get over everything. Their limbs didn't grow back, and their minds didn't snap back right again. ___Hands formed signs and stress returned to the boy's eyes as the Byakugan sprang back in function. He'd need to read their surroundings to get to the hospital quickly, but he also didn't want to miss whatever else Jack had cooked up that would require them to hide a maimed genin who was at best barely stable in the storage closet of an empty hospital. ___ Kirama tossed Miki's box and bag in Kumo's direction as he threw a trinket in Jack's direction. He could carry them, since he couldn't help lug Miki around himself. A moment later his arms were sliding under the Uchiha again, transitioning her to Sukoso as requested. Kirama jogged to the door after he was sure the girl wouldn't slide from her new resting place, his movement slowing for just a moment before he disappeared to scout. [OOC: Since I'm off work for most of the next month, and have no family to distract me from this stuff with holiday things, I'll have Kirama shadow your posts to the hospital so he's not getting there way ahead of time.]
[･･･] Inka blinked, red eyes focused on Jack's still form, brow creased with more than just anger and determination now. Jack had slowly receeded back into a recognisably-human version of himself, but it wasn't until something else occured that Inka realised it had even been missing; Jack wasn't breathing. Was it the use of the power he had just displayed? Inka did not speak against Jack, or at all. He simply stood, watched, and waited. His breathing wasn't right. It wasn't... familiar.
Inka waited until Nozomi had well and truly left, waited until no-one was nearby, walked to the entrance of the lobby where Jack stood, bowed his head to Jack in greeting, and finally spoke.
"Sounds like the hospital to be more of a risk than a reprieve - should we delay the move until the building is cleared?" It wasn't everything that he wanted to say, but they had duties. Suffering was being felt the village over, by the sounds of it, and Inka would do everything he can to not drag it out, including pushing aside emotions. Red eyes blinked, looking back over his shoulder to Kirama. The young man had spoken with heat; something Inke was very familiar with.
"It will stay with you for as long as you allow it." Inka responded with an experienced certainty. Blood and soot still speckled his teeth, but he paid it no mind, accustomed to the taste.

The young Aburame.. well one of them, the redhead one for sure, listened as Jack spoke. He agreed with Inka but it seemed that he had another task in mind. To travel to the outskirts and to the walls themselves. Soon after, her name was brought up. Surprised and shocked, her head turned towards Jack, her eyes widen in shock. He wouldn't see it, but he would certainly feel it. Along with happiness... he would feel fear... fear of disappointment and dread. She listened as if nothing else mattered. She wanted to remember everything he said. Go to the Father gates and find the small path on the west side... and find the script. She will have to wait for his final orders and she was to break that line. Line? Wait, what line? She wanted to ask, yet, the freckled face girl knew that when she gets there, she will know what he was talking about. She nodded as she vowed not to feast upon the chakra meaning, her bugs will be useless for this. "I will await for your word, Mizukage-sama." She turned to look at Inka for a moment, very scared to see what he would say or do. His body language gave nothing. Crest fallen, she smiled when she heard Kumotake's words.
She actually missed him. He was the only one she had the time to hang out with and since everything happened, they have hung out less and less. She nodded as she leaned in and pecked Kumotake on the cheek. "I'm glad you are okay Kumotake. Be careful." With that, she made her way out. Down the stairs, and down the lift. She noticed someone there, slightly surprised, she cautiously approached the female. All the monsters were taken care of.... and like Jack said, the nightmare was over... so this woman couldn't be a monster, can she? Nozomi couldn't leave her alone out here, she doesn't know what Jack was going to do and if people in the hospital have to move, that means this woman isn't safe down here. Not only that, she dressed extremely odd. Could she be a civilian? "Here. Take the lift, and you will find stairs, go up as quick as you can, there's not much time." With that, she waited for the female to get on the lift as she tapped it with her foot along with her chakra, the lift would start to take Inori up. The Aburame does not need to waste anymore time as she quickly made her way to the Father gates....
Butterfly Kisses - Nozomi is able to cast her genjutsu, if they are touch based, through her insects. She makes the handsigns, but the jutsu is delivered by the insects. Example, if Nozomi have six insects on six people, all would be affected by her genjutsu. It would cost 2 ranks less per person to use. Such as if the technique is A-rank, it would cost C-rank chakra per person. While the cost of the technique drops two rank, so does the power.
Class Discipline/Personal Attribute:
Mother's Heart - Nozomi is able to communicate with anything living that is of the Arthropoda phylum order. She can gather Intel from the Arthropoda phylum creatures that is within 10 meters radius, usually used to track someone down.
Kagerou had been ready to fight for her life, but as everyone else jumped into action--commands, warnings, and other information criss-crossing the room--she stood frozen in abject terror. Swarming through the door and pressed against the windows (including, no doubt, the window that was kept covered by a swarm of bugs) were faces of people Kagerou loved and respected. Each and every one of them was accurate down to the smallest detail save for the grotesque scars and twists that disfigured them into monstrous forms.
