Swirling the circular end of a kunai around his index finger, Soraru made his way to the village gate, constant thoughts running through his mind. This will be my first actual mission. The last one was kind of...sudden, and not legitimate. It's C-rank so it shouldn't be too taxing, I just hope I've prepared enough. Hokori-san too. I wonder how he's taking to this whole thing. The young samurai believed he could handle himself, however the timid glassmaker was a different story. With the amount of confidence Miko let out, he imagined she could hold her own as well. She was made the team leader for a reason after all. With all the equipment Soraru had at hand, it was highly unlikely that he'd end up falling behind. Custom ordered gear with small little tricks and tidbits that gave it a unique touch. The blend of black, white, sky blue, and steel grey that adorned him all had a personal feel. Most threatening of all was the katana at his left side, and the wakizashi hidden away beneath cloth on his right.
Drawing closer to the gate, he decided to stop spinning his kunai, placing it back in the lower back pouch of his flak jacket. Would just distract his company in the end, and he'd have to put it away at some point. When he actually scanned the front of the gate though, he blinked in surprise at who he saw. Miko was talking to Hakanai and Shu, two beings he had some previous contact with. The animal had been with him and Axel back in the cave, when they left the village to follow the creatures who killed a chunk of Kumogakure's population. Hakanai was there to feed the less fortunate with him back in the soup kitchen. Both those things just had to happen in the same day, but that's how long he'd been a Genin in the first place, before being put into that cave. He hoped it wouldn't lead into any aggressive or awkward encounters with the animals owner, since he heard she apparently stabbed someone while her pet was away. He could only assume it had to at least partially deal with her partners disappearance. Which could partially have something to do with Soraru.
Either way, it seemed that they were busy interacting with Miko, so he merely stood to the side, waiting for Hokori to join up with the group as well.
Torso - ○ Black, thick shirt. Long in both sleeves and vertical length. High, round collar, covers down to the hip on the right side to conceal the wakizashi. The left is bunched up behind the hilt of Reito Kumo, the katana. Has a hood attached, lined with white fur. ○ Kumogakure white flak jacket [x] ○ Tosei-gusoku*
Legs - ○Black harem pants, wrapped [x] ○ Black shinobi sandals, black tabi, cherry blossom pink silent soles. ○ Tosei-gusoku*
Hands - ○ Nitinol alloy gauntlet, left hand. (Taser Knuckle installed) ○ Chakra Dispersal glove, right hand. (Snap Lighter installed)
Hitai-ite location - ○ Neck
* Tosei-gusoku - ○ Doesn't wield the full set. Uses han kote (steel bracers) for the forearms with a sode (large rectangular shoulder protection made from iron and or leather plates.) covering his right arm from the shoulder to the bracer. The sode is a steel grey with multiple plates of such a material, tied over a chainmail sleeve that's fitted over Soraru's shirt with sky blue, durable cloth material tying the two together, showing as very small ribbon-like ties between the steel plates. Has shin guards made from iron splints connected together by chain armor (kusari) and sewn to cloth and tied around the calf, also called suneate. Using his hitai-ite as steel protection around his neck, he connects two smaller steel plates underneath to form a proper yodare-kake. Lastly is the thigh armor on his left side, which are made similarly to his sode. made from cloth with small iron plates of various size and shape, connected to each other by chain armour (kusari) and sewn to the cloth. The cloth, like on the sode, is sky blue.
༺ Honō Hokori༻ [ "A supplement to all others, yet weak on its own." ]
༇ So it was witnessed...
Honō would arrive in a flurry of grey robes and flushed cheeks. Scrolls were holstered around his hips and the hunting knife gifted by Wanryoku was resting in the small of his back, its glass sheath hidden under a fold of his clothing. Glass beads were knotted along a length of thick rope, tucked into the folds of his hakama.
"I'm so sorry...!" He gushed, voice soft. "I made you all wait..." He morned, green eyes looking up - only to be caught on the sight of Shu. Suddenly, his previous sullen-looking features brightened, energy sparking up his spine in glee at the sight. "Oh!" He smiled. "It's the handsome cat again!" The tall genin was almost bouncing on his heels in delight, his earlier shame being swept away by the sight of the magnificient creature.

༒ Aspects
Strengths :
• Evironmental Lens: Is able to accurately estimate the weaknesses and viable exploits in the surrounding environment. Be it the stabilising pebble at the base of the wall, or the angle needed to fell a tree where needed.
• Soldering Teammate: Honō will support his teammates by means of supplying weapons, tripping up the opponent, or manipulating the environment to his allies' advantage. Honō will watch his teammate(s) to get familiar with their tells, thus becoming more and more accurate in reading their intentions.
• Sleek Steps: Due to his training in the Hari clan, Honō has no difficulty traversing slippery surfaces, even over uneven terrain.
• Latticino Hands Honō's work has gained him steady hands and the ability to perform minute, detailed work. Finicky work, such as the setting up even the most intricate traps, holds less trouble for him.
Weaknesses :
• Cracks: Honō was never trained for proper combat, and as such has a tendency to flee instead of fight, especially when out numbered. When hit with an attack, his urge to flee only increases.
• Jewelled: Honō's choice in clothing marks him out from other shinobi; restricting his movements slightly and hindering most chances at stealth.
• Fragility: Trained in his work instead of his responsibilities as a shinobi, Honō lacks the strength most individuals garner from their everyday training.
Fears :
• Broken Shards: Knowing he isn't the most skilled shinobi in the village, Honō fears his teammates will leave him behind if he fails to meet their expectations.
• Shattered: Honō was never the strongest, or masculine, individual in Kumo. He fears this makes him a target of assault; verbal or physical. Whenever he leaves the workshop he is constantly anxious and alert of his surroundings, misreading the words and reactions of the people around him to negatively apply to him.
Class Disciplines :
• Legendary Smith The user is able to gain a 5th title rank from every applicable smithing tree. 'Training' for Legendary takes 10 posts of crafting work, provides an additional 1 post off of crafting times, and gives a Grandmaster NPC (of the same area) for usage. In addition, any item solo crafted (without an npc helper) is non-reproducible by non-Legendary titled smiths.
• Balanced Master Any jutsu learned can be paid for with either chakra, stamina, or a mix of the two. Any further chakra types are also subject to this. Recovery amounts for chakra and stamina are doubled while working, and working counts as relaxing.
• Lifetime Disciple This discipline is for those wishing to gain from a lifetime master, never to be one themselves until their master is deceased. Gaining knowledge from over the course of their studies, the disciple will receive twice the benefits from each of their master's smithing trees (up to their completed titles), while in the living presence of them. After their master's death, they will successfully pass on a permanent, one-quarter of the benefit to their own Lifetime Disciple, if any. (round up to the nearest applicable number, as designated in the smithing thread)
Reductions :
• Glassblowing : Two [ 02 ], out of every four [ 04 ] posts, reduction for jobs • Woodworking : One [ 01 ], out of every four [ 04 ], posts reduction for jobs
Personal Attributes :
• A Natural's Touch: After long study and a certain knack at birth, Honō has what many people call a "natural talent" for creation of glass objects. Because of this, every third creation is exceptionally superb, granting a 50% increase to profits made from that item.
• Black Glass Mentality: Honō's years of training with Katon [ Fire ] jutsu and glassmaking and mainpulation jutsu has helped him learn a deeper understanding of volcanic glass. As such, his experiments with enchanting any volcanic glass with Gellal has been cut by half.
• Uncanny Aim: Preferring to create and maintain distance between himself and the enemy, Honō has spent a considerable amount of time crafting range weapons, especially throwing weapons. From this he finds himself creating double the expected number every second attempt without the extra cost of material or time.

Miko Tengoku || Kumogakure | Genin [C-rank] || Class :: Puppeteer/ Sensor || Chakra :: 675/675 || Stamina :: 240/240
✰ Just as Miko was getting into making head way with getting to know Hakanai or at least establish a stable way to communicate with her the last two of her party had finally arrived. It was funny to think these two had been on her squad loner but were the ones that arrived latest. Though considering the time and how close she'd pushed her own luck with last minute training Miko wouldn't complain. First was Soraru who appeared on the horizon with a swirling kunai on his finger. As to weather he was doing this in practice of his handling or just simply cause it looked cool or it helped him think Miko would smirk at the sight folding her arms over her chest assuming a coy posture. His gear and preparation seemed up to par for Miko's plan given the situation but a on sight assumption of the area once they reached would be required before Miko would lay things out for the team. Hono appeared in a flustered wave of apology upon noticing he was the last to arrive, but he'd seemingly lost all nerves once he'd seen the large cat Shu that was Hakanai's partner. Guess he's got real thing for animals. this is the second time I've seen his mood turned because of a furry pet...well I guess more like this time it's a furry shinobi but all the same.
Sighing and stretching her hands over her head Miko would still have her body facing Hakanai by three quarters and the other half facing Sora and Hono. " Well nice of you guys to show up. Also good to see that you've got all your gear squared away in time for the mission. I don't know if you know who this..." Miko would pause to gesture in Hakanai and Shu's direction. Though seeing as how familiar Hono seemed she'd figured he might know, but formal introduction seemed to be in order to break whatever ice there might be. "Is Hakanai Yuki, and her shinobi animal partner Shu. Not sure what kinda animal he is but he seems ta be a big cat. Hakanai, just for formality I'll introduce these two. The one with the blue eyes is Soraru Harrite...think I pronounced that right. The other with the doe like green eyes is Hono Hokori of the Hari clan. Now Our squads officially assembled. Let me just bring you two up to speed on what me and Hakani were just about to get into before you two graced us with your attendance. Hakanai here talks with sign language and I was wondering if she'd teach us some on the way. Thoughts? "
A bit rough around the edge but Miko managed to get her point across and do what she felt was the least she could do to get everyone on the same page. Though once she was settled in this matter the mission had to begin and the had to walk out the gates across the ridiculously long bridge.
Appearance
(( Miko's appearance has been softened a bit by a more colorful arrangement of clothing and certain portions of her hair being dyed green to give it some contrasting color to her favorite hue "Indian Red" Thick leggings, and boots with hight sock peeking over thing wrapped and bound with holsters for knives strapped to her. Matching the color of her signature red shawl/scarf she still wears like a hood over her head and hat. A baggy U-neck sweater had replaced her usual short cut robbed vest she used to wear and yet still shows the same level of room for her to bundle up her hands into her sleeves with ease. A black feather lined black skirt holding a number of bobbles looped through color strings are attacked to a thin studded belt at her waist. Wool finger-less sleeve length gloves are used to keep hidden a number of seals on along her arms. Her another bag with a poison apple symbol was added as an extra means to carry items she might pick up other than those in her mainly used Baroque designed waist strapped back on her back. ))

Resolution: The user is more determined to get fine details from his sensory techniques, but in order to get this type of clarity the user's range of the technique is reduced by half. The user is able to discover type of technique that is about to be active (fuuin, genjutsu, ninjutsu, custom jutsu, complex tai and buki), even specifics such as Bloodline type and rank. Additionally, the user can gain similar information about any chakra source in their sensory technique's range, including what bloodline the person possesses, and how large their chakra pool is.
Technique Name: Buraindotacchi: Douteki Giketsu [Blind Touch: Kinetic Resolution] Rank: X-Rank (E-S) [Only E-rank right now] Type: Taijutsu_Training Element: Taijutsu Description: A trained physical sensory ability that is an extended and refined blend between ones muscle memory and a heightened sense of touch. Trough training one can “read” and remember kinetic motion of physical objects around themselves as long as some form of motion (vibration) is happening around them, and there after differentiates them specifically committing the sensation to memory. (New sensations are responded to vaguely if not committed to memory/identified already.) This ability has only a 6-yards [3-yards] cubic range, and works better on the ground/in water. Where vibrations are involved mid-air sensing isn’t exact. The practitioner retains a slight increase in reflexes over their current Rank standard from this ability, and when retrained this boost also increase from slightly, to mildly, to moderately and etc. Though passive this ability drains stamina when used to dodge equal to the rank of the technique being avoided with in the trained limit!

My arm was slightly stil sore. Shu and I had got our tattoos done. For easier summon. Mine was slightly obvious and was on my upper left shoulder. Shu, however, was hidden. He had his done on his paw with red ink and then covered with black, to make it look like it's just an ordinary birthmark. I felt bad for Shu, he was in a lot of pain but he put on a brave face. I could tell. Speaking of Shu, he rose his head and started to sniff into the air, as if he sensed something or someone. His head turned into the direction and I glanced over. A female, maybe about my age or younger? Was started to head towards the gates and at first, didn't acknowledge us. For a moment there, I thought that she wasn't there for us. I was wrong when she turned on her heel and faced us, as well extended her hand towards me. I glanced towards it for a moment, unsure. My previous experience with teammates had not been good but I had to try. Bitterly, I reached out and shook hands with the female. She started to talk.
Why was it that everytime someone knows that I'm deaf, they all assume that I can read lips? I can catch things but I cannot read lips. Frustration was already starting to build in me but it went away just as fast when I remembered my time away from Shu and the world. My hand reached over to gently rest onto Shu's upper spine, between his mane and his shoulder blades for comfort. I could feel the soft silk between my fingers and it helped to calm me down. All I caught was Miko. So that was her. And of course, I caught my own name, seeing that being used by different lips over time, Shu, I also got that. Welcome to.... something? Get along... okay... without... sound good? I was confused. My brows were furrowed as I sighed and my body language went straight into withdrawal and defensive. I could feel a low growl from Shu as I gently nudged his massive paw with my foot to shut him up. We don't need to have problems. I started to dig into my bag for my notebook and pen, I felt Shu's head nudge my arm which meant I need to pay attention. Glanced up, I already missed the first part. My head started to hurt slightly. Reading lips were always a pain. Sign language... teach...? Yea, pretty sure she said teach... useful... and everything else, I didn't catch.
Meanwhile, Shu noticed a familiar scent as he eased up some. He gave a friendly purr towards the male. WHen they first met, Shu wanted his limbs for dessert. But now? Nah. Soraru had passed Shu's test. Though, does it mean Shu trusted him 100%? No. But trust was always something to work on. He can work with Soraru, yes, but not trust him with other things. With his life? It depends. I felt Shu nudge me again as I just pulled out the notebook and pen, I glanced up and gave Soraru a friendly smile. He was someone I remembered. Back when we helped Soup Kitchen. My heart became heavy. Those people that we helped... were they even still alive? I started to scribble onto the notebook, and for a moment, Shu's body language started to relax when another familiar face for him had shown up, but it didn't last for long as I felt another low rumble from Shu. My head immediately shot up as I noticed another newcomer, but Shu wasn't upset at him, no, it was at the woman who was called Miko. She started to talk again as I frowned slightly. Shaking my head softly, I noticed Shu became defensive and was, a bit grouchy. I understood. I can't imagine the same thing happen to other people, I would act the same way. Shu was very close to me, his side was up against my back as his head and frontal body was at my right side, his grey hues watching Miko carefully. The other two, he obiously trusted. I finished writing down on the notebook and handed it to Miko for her to take.
My handwriting wasn't nice, but it was readable, "I can't always read lips that well. It's taxing and there's always miscommunication 99% of the time... why not call for ANBU interpreter and get this out before we leave and once we do, we will be on our own." I waited to see what she would do. I hated ANBU interpreters honestly. Deaf culture and sign language, we rely on body language and facial expressions. Facial expressions are thrown out of the window with those ANBU masks they have.

༺ Honō Hokori༻ [ "A supplement to all others, yet weak on its own." ]
༇ So it was witnessed...
Honō tilted his head, his joy ebbing at the obvious displeasure radiating both the cat and his human partner. From little the glassblower could recognise, it appeared they wanted nothing more than to let be - a very different turn to how Honō last met the white cat where it literally demanded attention from the tall Genin. Green eyes blinked, turnin to give Miko their attention as she introduced the new pair; Hakanai Yuki is the woman, and Shu the large beast - ah, it was nice to actually have a name! Honō didn't want to be so rude as to not address them properly. Again, however, Honō blinked at the association Miko put between himself and a doe, unintentionally just falling in with the comparison as he kept his head at the slight tilt, gaze open in wonder. Did he really appear so? He has been called many thing previously, but being likened to a doe was... quite nice. It brought a gentle smile to his lips and a more serene air to his stance. Sign language? Honō glanced to Soraru and then addressed Hakanai.
"Oh! Uhm, I'll do my best." He bowed his head forward, as though in acceptance of some higher-up's task. When he raised his head back up, he saw Hakanai passing over a small notebook to Miko. The Tamer appeared... frustrated, and Honō just didn't have enough knowledge on her to know what she might want to alleviate some of that frustration.

Miko Tengoku || Kumogakure | Genin [C-rank] || Class :: Puppeteer/ Sensor || Chakra :: 675/675 || Stamina :: 240/240
✰ As she spoke Miko could read the frustration on Hakanai's face for a moment an her brow raised in a mirroring fashion as it started to dawn upon her that Hakanai might not have adapted reading lips when it came to dealing with people who didn't know sign language or know that she was deaf. Miko would tilt her head as she'd hear the growl coming from the big cat, but she wasn't even really sure what to do about that. Miko's personal experience with tamer shinobi was limited so her knowledge on how Shu was trained or his level of competence for what she was saying was lacking, but Miko's understanding of pets for the most part dogs...though sh e knew Shu wasn't a dog was that they sometimes respond from the emotions they picked up on from their owners. So though Hakanai's expression and posture showed she'd relaxed Shu's tense and focused disposition kind of told her that maybe Hakanai wasn't as calm as she seemed. The laser like focus on Miko in particular from the large cat made Miko wonder if there was a reason he seemed to be ignoring the other two, but when she gave it a moment o thought Shu and Soraru were the people likely involved in that whole chase mission. Miko didn't have the details nor anything substantial other than relative approximations for peoples attendance and appearances after the incident and assembly. So the cat knew ole blue eyes, and he seemed to be not bothered by the easily approachable Hono. "So the cat's got a particular issue with me. Not new people just~ me, Fookin great." (note: the italics are just thoughts)
As Miko looked at her rag tag team and tried to asses if anyone was really listening to what she'd said, which didn't really seem to get a rise out of anyone. She would notice Hakani had taken out a note pad and Miko would take said pad to read what Hakanai had written. "I can't always read lips that well. It's taxing and there's always miscommunication 99% of the time... why not call for ANBU interpreter and get this out before we leave and once we do, we will be on our own."
Hmm, Okay... Miko would digest the information and sigh as she'd tap the pad to her fore head and would reach into her own back pocket retrieving a charcoal pencil. It was a little item she use when wood working for drawing out measurements and designs on pieces she was crafting. Miko would take a moment but would pass the note pad to Hakani and wait for a moment for her to read her words. "Alright then, that seems like a good idea, but we'll be heading into the wild together and we need to develop way of talking more fluid than this and we won't have the interpreter i think it's better we struggle through adjusting now cause we won't have much time to that other than on the way to the mission site. If you don't mind I'd like for us to walk and tal...write and just pass this note pad back and fort a bit to figure things out between us. You have to know I was noticed of your presence on this mission very last minute. So I'm not aware of your full skills ability or current rank et cetera. I've gotten the small talk out of the way with the boys but for the most part your the newest recruit on this squad, which isn't saying much given that we were formed maybe a week ago or so. So if you're okay with that and telling me about yourself just give me a nod and I'll start leading the way. I'll tell the boys too. "
Miko stepped a bit out away from hakanai to give her some air to read what she'd written and Miko had to get the mission moving forward now. Though very little time to put her team together into a productive or a reliable coordination she could feel secure with. Her Paranoia about all the things that could go wrong on this mission from misunderstandings and miscommunication abounded but she'd swallow her nerves and keep a straight face believing that maybe she might be able to scrap by with what skills she had and maybe if she could get a sense for these people.

Appearance
(( Miko's appearance has been softened a bit by a more colorful arrangement of clothing and certain portions of her hair being dyed green to give it some contrasting color to her favorite hue "Indian Red" Thick leggings, and boots with hight sock peeking over thing wrapped and bound with holsters for knives strapped to her. Matching the color of her signature red shawl/scarf she still wears like a hood over her head and hat. A baggy U-neck sweater had replaced her usual short cut robbed vest she used to wear and yet still shows the same level of room for her to bundle up her hands into her sleeves with ease. A black feather lined black skirt holding a number of bobbles looped through color strings are attacked to a thin studded belt at her waist. Wool finger-less sleeve length gloves are used to keep hidden a number of seals on along her arms. Her another bag with a poison apple symbol was added as an extra means to carry items she might pick up other than those in her mainly used Baroque designed waist strapped back on her back. ))

{Puppets} - Training Wooden Puppet [Attuned Training] [D-rank]
Musunde Hiraite, the coveted child of the Hakemoto clan, the heir to the Iron throne. On a C-rank mission with an animal, a deaf kunoichi, a fragile boy and questionable girl. Nobody above the age of twenty, or with any monumental skill to watch over them, as they'd all be looking after one another.
Ojii-chanmustbedoingbackflipsinhisgrave. He thought with a small smirk plastering itself upon his lips, eyes watching the interactions of his teammates. Miko introducing everyone to one another, Hono was going through his own mix of emotions it seemed, while Hakanai gave off the barest tinge of frustration. Wasn't surprising. Wonderhowshehandledthingsbackthen,duringtheattack. He remembered their small interactions in the Dojo, along with her evident turmoil. What he didn't know was if it was due to her pet running away, or if she had a feeling of uselessness, something that could eat away at anyone. Then again, it also seemed like she had a personal problem with Axel back then. Maybe his assumptions were all off the money, but there was definitely turmoil. She'sprobablygoingthroughalotjusttocompensateforherlackofhearing.Provethatashinobidoesn'tneedittocompletemissions,ortoexistthroughharshtimes.I'llhavetogivemyfairshareofrespectforthatalone. The boys mind continued to work, his examination of the surrounding people continuing on. Such an examination was interrupted though by a nudging feeling at his shoulder, turning to see that it was just Shu pressing into him. It was almost funny that such a thing was even possible then. Upon first meeting, he'd be at full alert around the animal, never taking concentration off. After time in the cave, he supposed there was sort of a mutual trust, something that was easier to form with an animal than a human given his circumstances.
"ImetHakanai-sanandShuonthesamemorningthatthevillagegotattacked.Sheendeduplendingahandwithmyfirstmission,smallstuff,helpingintheSoupKitchen.WewerealsotogetherintheDojowhentheattackactuallyhappened.WhenIwasleavingwithaChuuninnamedAxel,Shufollowedhim,makingusapartyofthree.WhileIhaven'tseenShufight,IknowHakanai-sanisprettygoodwhenitcomestotheuh...iceNinjutsu." It should've been quite obvious from his tone that he wasn't familiar with the actual name for the kekkei genkai. The inspiration from his swords name came through the actions of a hyouton user, though the Iron country had vastly different names for those gifts, names completely remote and foreign compared to the ones taught by the Shinobi Nations. In terms of her being good, he recalled that she decided to go in and rush down the creature of ice that was attacking the dojo, helping when it came to the finishing blow against the creature. She wasn't exactly hesitant in her actions, and he didn't associate that with someone who didn't know how to fight.
"Hey,Hokori-san"
His attention turned to the white-haired boy, stepping over to him at a lazy pace. "Onthewayover,weshouldtalkaboutseals.I'mmoreexperiencedthanyouincombat,soifthere'sasealthatisabletobringmetoyou,weshouldtakeadvantageofthat." There was no denying that he was a bit worried for Hono when it came to combat. Yeah, he had a weapon, but the possible opponents out there were around Wanryoku's size, they might have even had his strength. Maybe more. Where Hono didn't stand a chance, Soraru did. They had a size and strength advantage, but Soraru had his own talents in speed and versatility. At the very least, if things got bad, he could defend his teammates long enough for them to make an escape. He didn't mean for it to come off as arrogant thinking, but he was pretty sure that he was the most capable of fighting the opposition in their group. A sword with exponential potential, a Bukijutsu style that nobody else knew a thing about, an arsenal of Genjutsu and Ninjutsu which made him a force to be reckoned with in the air, on the ground, or below the water. Add that to his arsenal of tricks and dangers that he picked up from the Blue Dragon, and you had one deadly combatant.
༺ Honō Hokori༻ [ "A supplement to all others, yet weak on its own." ]
༇ So it was witnessed...
Honō was happy to quietly follow as Miko and Hakania started their departure - he was delighted to have received a purred greeting from the large cat. Green eyes turned bright as he watched Shu roll his head down the length of the glassblower's arm, his fingers giving a scratch to skin hidden under the thick mane in return. Looking up, Honō blinked at the sight of the two women still exchanging notes, with Miko turning to speak over her shoulder at Soraru and himself, introducing Hakanai's abilities. Honō tilted his head, watching - until Soraru spoke up beside him, calling his name and thus attention. Again the Hari clan member blinked wide green eyes at his teammate before a smile overtook his delicate features. He bowed his head, still walking.
"Thank you for looking out for me." Honō tried not to grin. "Uhm," Honō took a second, fingers hovering over the several scrolls attached to him, before retrieving the one he was after. I little puff of air was the only sign he still worried he hadn't picked the correct one. "I have a scroll ready for such a thing." Unrolling it, Honō revealed the blank space that needed to be filled for the contract between himself and Soraru to be made.

༒ Aspects
Strengths :
• Evironmental Lens: Is able to accurately estimate the weaknesses and viable exploits in the surrounding environment. Be it the stabilising pebble at the base of the wall, or the angle needed to fell a tree where needed.
• Soldering Teammate: Honō will support his teammates by means of supplying weapons, tripping up the opponent, or manipulating the environment to his allies' advantage. Honō will watch his teammate(s) to get familiar with their tells, thus becoming more and more accurate in reading their intentions.
• Sleek Steps: Due to his training in the Hari clan, Honō has no difficulty traversing slippery surfaces, even over uneven terrain.
• Latticino Hands Honō's work has gained him steady hands and the ability to perform minute, detailed work. Finicky work, such as the setting up even the most intricate traps, holds less trouble for him.
Weaknesses :
• Cracks: Honō was never trained for proper combat, and as such has a tendency to flee instead of fight, especially when out numbered. When hit with an attack, his urge to flee only increases.
• Jewelled: Honō's choice in clothing marks him out from other shinobi; restricting his movements slightly and hindering most chances at stealth.
• Fragility: Trained in his work instead of his responsibilities as a shinobi, Honō lacks the strength most individuals garner from their everyday training.
Fears :
• Broken Shards: Knowing he isn't the most skilled shinobi in the village, Honō fears his teammates will leave him behind if he fails to meet their expectations.
• Shattered: Honō was never the strongest, or masculine, individual in Kumo. He fears this makes him a target of assault; verbal or physical. Whenever he leaves the workshop he is constantly anxious and alert of his surroundings, misreading the words and reactions of the people around him to negatively apply to him.
Class Disciplines :
• Legendary Smith The user is able to gain a 5th title rank from every applicable smithing tree. 'Training' for Legendary takes 10 posts of crafting work, provides an additional 1 post off of crafting times, and gives a Grandmaster NPC (of the same area) for usage. In addition, any item solo crafted (without an npc helper) is non-reproducible by non-Legendary titled smiths.
• Balanced Master Any jutsu learned can be paid for with either chakra, stamina, or a mix of the two. Any further chakra types are also subject to this. Recovery amounts for chakra and stamina are doubled while working, and working counts as relaxing.
• Lifetime Disciple This discipline is for those wishing to gain from a lifetime master, never to be one themselves until their master is deceased. Gaining knowledge from over the course of their studies, the disciple will receive twice the benefits from each of their master's smithing trees (up to their completed titles), while in the living presence of them. After their master's death, they will successfully pass on a permanent, one-quarter of the benefit to their own Lifetime Disciple, if any. (round up to the nearest applicable number, as designated in the smithing thread)
Reductions :
• Glassblowing : Two [ 02 ], out of every four [ 04 ] posts, reduction for jobs • Woodworking : One [ 01 ], out of every four [ 04 ], posts reduction for jobs • Tailoring: One [ 01 ], out of every four [ 04 ], posts reduction for jobs • Infusion Artificer: One [ 01 ], out of every four [ 04 ], posts reduction for jobs
Personal Attributes :
• A Natural's Touch: After long study and a certain knack at birth, Honō has what many people call a "natural talent" for creation of glass objects. Because of this, every third creation is exceptionally superb, granting a 50% increase to profits made from that item.
• Black Glass Mentality: Honō's years of training with Katon [ Fire ] jutsu and glassmaking and mainpulation jutsu has helped him learn a deeper understanding of volcanic glass. As such, his experiments with enchanting any volcanic glass with Gellal has been cut by half.
• Uncanny Aim: Preferring to create and maintain distance between himself and the enemy, Honō has spent a considerable amount of time crafting range weapons, especially throwing weapons. From this he finds himself creating double the expected number every second attempt without the extra cost of material or time.

A man, face obscured by what seemed to be a fluttering red scarf would suddenly make an appearance at the gates of the cloud. He donned attire unfitting of most shinobi flashy, white, and stainless. On his back a Nodachi whose sheathe was crimson red and seemed to glow in an extravagant manor. To any within the current vicinity the man had made his entry in a fiery way as he had descended from an above hilltop only after having executed what could be comparable to an ice skaters triple salchow through the air. Upon landing to any within ear shot an exclamatory annunciation of boisterous laughter would erupt forth. "Ahahahahaha!" Crossing his arms he'd point at the nearest individual who would seem to be manning the gates. "What ho citizen of the clouds. Allow me to introduce myself. Hailing from the Hidden leaf. Nakicho Genshukuna. A meeting is requested with your Kage post haste of course you are welcome to take the necessary escort procedures and precautions."
The man therein stood with his back leaned and finger pointed like some 90's greaser asking 'what's happening babe'. Well at least one could agree he was subtle. He stood there awaiting a response from anyone with the appropriate authorities of course there was always the case the entrance being granted would be declined outright. Only after what could be the sounding of crickets did the man regain his composure and stood with his arms crossed his single exposed eye a deep blue taking in his surroundings.

>Baranotsubomi バラのつぼみ (Rosebud) [Triggered, Uses Remaining 2/3] The second form is the neutral state of the blade. The blade is a typical steel silver. However upon attacks self inflicted or otherwise it absorbs the blood of the injured location eventually until the blade grows red. Upon becoming red the blade becomes entirely serrated making injuries susceptible to cause hemorrhaging and muscle tearing. It takes a blood draw from the base of the blade to the tip before becoming red. This can be executed by the user as if performing a blood summoning by running a finger from the end to tip or causing a significant enough wound on the opponent. When red the blade can null jutsu one rank lower than the corresponding styles Rank. Up to 3 times before a new blood draw is required. Each Blood Draw costs 20 Stamina and 20 Chakra if self inflicted.

Unsure how the man before them had managed to jump the mile gorge between the nearest mountains and the gates themselves, the ANBU at the gate watched him warily, albeit unimpressed with his behavior. Once he had finished his introduction to the group, one approached, wearing a plain oval mask that didn't seem to represent any animal, unlike the others. "You will be escorted to the Raikage's office under heavy watch. Please follow." The man's words were blunt, and rightly so, as far as he was concerned. Turning on his heels, he headed back to the gate, waving a hand to signal it be opened.
[You're welcome to puppet the ANBU from here. He won't say much of anything.]
Miko Tengoku || Kumogakure | Genin [C-rank] || Class :: Puppeteer/ Sensor || Chakra :: 675/250 || Stamina :: 240/240
✰ Seeing the Tavern just before the chasm that stretched between Kumogakura no sato made Miko feel a odd pang of homesickness given the likely hour and a half or two hours spent on the mission. It almost made her wonder why she'd felt such a need to leave the village at times in her past. It always was some odd feeling that the defense of the village were equally there to protect and wall in those of the village. Yet a grace seemed to waft over the eternal misty steep. Here was home and they'd somehow managed not to be seen and work effectively in spite of themselves and the virtually scarce team familiarity or training in some parts of her teams experience. It all felt like a crash coare test for not only Miko but the entire team. Something she'd expressed to Hakanai in their traded words on the note pad. A part of Miko wondered why'd they'd test a already ranked Chuunin like this but she also wondered if the ground wouldn't be swept out from under her...again. Miko's eyes would narrow at the thought and the comfort she'd found in seeing her home drifted to the back of her mind and into the past as that moment left her. She remembered heatedly that this was just the preliminaries to a incoming war with monstrous men. She'd played only a portion of her part for her village today, they all did but now they need to make sure they relaid that information in perfect support to any plans that might be formed to give them some ground to stand on when that clash happened.
Miko would remain quite coming up the rear of her squad watching their backs as they would travel in a four-square formation.Keeping them all from a direct line of any projectile assault. Likely at this point the group would notice just how meticulous the crass Miko could be when she was serious or paranoid about their mission. Though the bandages her fingers would need from how much she seemed to bite at her fingers might of given the stress. Miko would change her fingers warping at least twice on the trip home, but she wouldn't allow them to stop walking. the mission in entirety would take about three hours give their speed as Ninja's and the time it took to gather the information and come to a point where walking back into safe territory was acceptable. Coming to the gate Miko would call to the others to officially conclude the Mission.
"Squad! Thank you for your service today! But...we've made it home, and now we've got only one last thing to do. Deliver our reports to the Raikage and then y'all need ta rest up and train, train hard and brace yourselves for the on coming conflict, but don't lose sight of hope and interest in ending this peacefully. Though I'm not gonna drop my guard we've gotta be open to the possiblity that the Village...the Raikage can resolve this. Squad Dismissed! " Miko would call an Anbu down from the gates to translate this to Hakani, and with that the Squads leader would sigh into her sleeve trying to hide her relief as she'd let her team leave ahead of her.
[Heading to Raikage's Tower ]

Title: Scouting the Strangling Cloud Forest Rank: C Solo or Squad: Squad Minimum Posts: 5 each [6/5] [Complete] Your objective is to scout the forest for the rumored invaders--I'm sure all of you have met Wanryoku by this point, and it is a group of people like him that you are looking for. Smoke from fire was reported near the eastern shore, a mile or two within the forest. It could just be campers, but they have been there several days.
As a warning: you are not to engage. Engaging the enemy will result in an instant failure of the mission, assuming you make it back alive.
"Home, sweet home." Soraru muttered under his breath upon approaching the gates, walking in front of the others while Miko acted as the rear guard. Other than discussing the mission and his own occasional humming, nothing of interest happened on the way back to the village, leaving him to basically have a stroll with his temporary team. Temporary... I wonder how the others are going to deal when put on their official teams. I'd ask that Hokori-san stick with me or a capable Chuunin, and I'm sure Miko can take care of herself no matter who she ends up with. As for Hakanai, I imagine it's only a matter of time before her and Shukenja end up leading a squad or going through conditioning for a hunting group. Oinin maybe? She may fit that route better than most. As for me...I suppose I should start looking to complete some prerequisites for promotion. It's about that time. With those thoughts out of the way, he looked to Miko, who passed him to take the lead at the gate and get the attention of the group. She gave a sort of motivational speech that made him grin and cross his arms, finding the whole thing to be quite silly, but...well, a good kind of silly. That was what he read out of her personality though. She seemed to enjoy being the confidence of the entire group, or maybe it wasn't so much out of enjoyment but rather necessity. Hokori, who had never been in the thick of things officially, Shu, who recently suffered what seemed to be a life-threatening injury along with a Hakanai who seemed to be consumed by her thoughts lately, likely due to her altercation with Hatsu. Then even himself, who from anyone's point of view didn't seem to be much of a team player. "Look at you, constantly playing the morale-booster. We got it, MOB. Though can't promise that I won't just sleep until the conflict comes. I'm pretty strong, y'know." Still, with all that to deal with, there wasn't a doubt in his mind that she had her own troubles beneath the surface. Her, who had to lead them, while surrounded by an enemy who could probably break some of the group in half with a single blow. Everyone had their fair share of pressure, but she had to account for all of them on top of her own problems, a fair degree more than the others who just had to worry about doing their jobs and staying alive.
That was worth some respect on his part, enough that he could actually view her as someone he wouldn't mind as a teammate, or a leader.
Walking past Miko, it became revealed that his small little reply wasn't completely done. Raising a hand to gently squeeze her shoulder for attention, he kept his smile. "You are too. Now get some rest, Rashō-sama." He said, teasingly referring to her as a supreme leader at the end, before walking past them and through the gates. "Well, if anyone needs me after we leave the tower, I'll probably be at the Dojo or the Mountain Clover. I'll get you guys a discount on your food if you end up going there." He told the group, turning and giving the group a wave before running forwards into a Shunshin, planning to get the the Raikage's tower as soon as possible.

༺ Honō Hokori༻ [ "A supplement to all others, yet weak on its own." ]
༇ So it was witnessed...
Honō bowed his head in thanks to Miko once dismissed. Having a clear directive, he moved into the village proper once they were signed in. Although, the mention of 'the oncoming conflict' meant he walked with some anxiety and fear burning in the back of his mind...

༒ Aspects
Strengths :
• Evironmental Lens: Is able to accurately estimate the weaknesses and viable exploits in the surrounding environment. Be it the stabilising pebble at the base of the wall, or the angle needed to fell a tree where needed.
• Soldering Teammate: Honō will support his teammates by means of supplying weapons, tripping up the opponent, or manipulating the environment to his allies' advantage. Honō will watch his teammate(s) to get familiar with their tells, thus becoming more and more accurate in reading their intentions.
• Sleek Steps: Due to his training in the Hari clan, Honō has no difficulty traversing slippery surfaces, even over uneven terrain.
• Latticino Hands Honō's work has gained him steady hands and the ability to perform minute, detailed work. Finicky work, such as the setting up even the most intricate traps, holds less trouble for him.
Weaknesses :
• Cracks: Honō was never trained for proper combat, and as such has a tendency to flee instead of fight, especially when out numbered. When hit with an attack, his urge to flee only increases.
• Jewelled: Honō's choice in clothing marks him out from other shinobi; restricting his movements slightly and hindering most chances at stealth.
• Fragility: Trained in his work instead of his responsibilities as a shinobi, Honō lacks the strength most individuals garner from their everyday training.
Fears :
• Broken Shards: Knowing he isn't the most skilled shinobi in the village, Honō fears his teammates will leave him behind if he fails to meet their expectations.
• Shattered: Honō was never the strongest, or masculine, individual in Kumo. He fears this makes him a target of assault; verbal or physical. Whenever he leaves the workshop he is constantly anxious and alert of his surroundings, misreading the words and reactions of the people around him to negatively apply to him.
Class Disciplines :
• Legendary Smith The user is able to gain a 5th title rank from every applicable smithing tree. 'Training' for Legendary takes 10 posts of crafting work, provides an additional 1 post off of crafting times, and gives a Grandmaster NPC (of the same area) for usage. In addition, any item solo crafted (without an npc helper) is non-reproducible by non-Legendary titled smiths.
• Balanced Master Any jutsu learned can be paid for with either chakra, stamina, or a mix of the two. Any further chakra types are also subject to this. Recovery amounts for chakra and stamina are doubled while working, and working counts as relaxing.
• Lifetime Disciple This discipline is for those wishing to gain from a lifetime master, never to be one themselves until their master is deceased. Gaining knowledge from over the course of their studies, the disciple will receive twice the benefits from each of their master's smithing trees (up to their completed titles), while in the living presence of them. After their master's death, they will successfully pass on a permanent, one-quarter of the benefit to their own Lifetime Disciple, if any. (round up to the nearest applicable number, as designated in the smithing thread)
Reductions :
• Glassblowing : Two [ 02 ], out of every four [ 04 ] posts, reduction for jobs • Woodworking : One [ 01 ], out of every four [ 04 ], posts reduction for jobs • Tailoring: Two [ 02 ], out of every four [ 04 ], posts reduction for jobs • Infusion Artificer: One [ 01 ], out of every four [ 04 ], posts reduction for jobs
Personal Attributes :
• A Natural's Touch: After long study and a certain knack at birth, Honō has what many people call a "natural talent" for creation of glass objects. Because of this, every third creation is exceptionally superb, granting a 50% increase to profits made from that item.
• Black Glass Mentality: Honō's years of training with Katon [ Fire ] jutsu and glassmaking and mainpulation jutsu has helped him learn a deeper understanding of volcanic glass. As such, his experiments with enchanting any volcanic glass with Gellal has been cut by half.
• Uncanny Aim: Preferring to create and maintain distance between himself and the enemy, Honō has spent a considerable amount of time crafting range weapons, especially throwing weapons. From this he finds himself creating double the expected number every second attempt without the extra cost of material or time.

They had arrived. I breathed a soft sigh of relief as I glanced around for a moment and then continued through the gates. Once we crossed the bridge, Shu seemed distracted, glanced off a the far away distance. Unknown to me, he was sensing Axel. I whistled to him in a low pitch as Shu glared at the spot for a moment longer before following me. Odd. I didn't see what he saw. With a soft shrug, must not been important as I gently stroke his mane while we walk to the office.
