The war raging within himself abated, at least momentarily, when Tsuki arrived. Her medical ninjutsu and her presense were like the strongest painkiller in the world to him. While he knew she was an extremely capable and powerful woman, it was still a desire of his to protect her- even if she hadn't numbed his pain the desire to do so would have pushed him forward regardless. Nonetheless, the lessening of his pain was a welcome relief. As he rose, he took her hand in his and squeezed it gentle before releasing her "Thank you, Tsukina" He said through gritted teeth as the last wave of pain faded. Taking a deep breath, he continued "I wasn't sure it was going to work- it certainly wasn't anything like I expected. Time will tell if it was worth it but I certainly feel...more. Like an extra limb has been added onto me." Belamos would start walking with his wife by his side, exiting the battlefield "Lets head home. Aurelia is probably furious at us for both being gone so long"
Letting out a sigh the woman fell in beside her husband,"You dont have to thank me for that idiot. And Aure is mad at YOU for being gone so long. Not me, I already bribed her with a nice new dress and some quality time with mommy." She couldn't help but chuckle a bit at her words.
A odd figure strode about the fire and smoke of the ruined village- surveying the scene. He walked over the stone ramparts until he came upon Hajime. Stopping, he would shift his gaze to the boy and speak "Are you the one who fought beside, and serves, Lord Karna?" The tone in his voice was pleasant, almost hopeful. Why was he asking? Who knew.
Haji'd decided to stay and help with the rebuild efforts and help the citizens how he could. He'd make it back to Belamos when he made sure everything was good to go with the citizens. It was probably going to be a couple of weeks, which was fine. Though, a while after the fight, that strange man showed up. He'd been watching him even before the man approached himself. Haji, put a hand on the pommel of each of his blades keeping his guard up. He didn't like the way this guy was talking, he seemed way to nice. Both his blades pulled out of their sheath about half an inch. "This place was under attack within the last hour, state your business here first, then I'll think about answering the question." He responds, his eyes locked on his, if he gave an answer he was unsatisfied with he'd tell him to leave, if he seemed hostile, he'd try to catch him off guard with a double Iaidō.

He crossed his arms, apparently displeased by the answer given "I am a man who has traveled far and sacrificed much to study at the side of a the Sun God. You are in my way" He lifted an outstretched hand towards Hajime "Die." A raging inferno sprouted from the man's fingertips and raced towards Haji, scorching the ground as it traveled
At that he drew his blades both at once, immediately attacking with that Double Iaidō. That was as Don's hand raised, he took a deep breath, he'd handle this with one go, or so he thought. He used his weapons to channel his chakra, as the fire grew he exhaled a boiling canon of water at his fireball, hopefully canceling it out, though he'd keep it going after that. He continued forward with his blade attack, two horizontal slashes towards his chest, to be exact, going opposite directions.
Iaidō [ B ] With a single unhindered and swift motion, a true samurai can unsheathe his weapon and strike at the exact same time. This can provide an elegant, yet effective way to catch your opponent off guard, or as a means to interrupt handsigns. Note that this ability only shows true effectiveness upon the drawing of a weapon from its sheathe. Losing some of its element of surprise after being used once and then resheathed. ( This attack's rank mimics whatever stage of Tetsu no Ryu you are in. For example, if you are in Stage 5, this technique is considered rank A. ) Activation DR: [ +0 Strength || + 0 Speed || +0 Reflex || +0 Fortitude ] ↵

If Hajime thought he had won the battle in such an expeditious fashion he would be sorely disappointed. He would find that not only did his boiling water not overwhelming Don's fire, but the two were continually matched in a standstill. Haji's blades made contact though...or so he thought. Rather, the blades seemed to cut right through Don. Instead of digging into flesh though, the weapons sliced through flames. It was as if the boy himself were composed completely of fire! "I am a Son of Helios! Do not underestimate my power!"
'Ka-Boom!'
A pillar of fire would erupt out of the around behind Hajime, arching up and over in an attempt to crush the boy beneath a torrential rain of hellfire.
He easily hopped to the side a few feet, dodging that blast, he'd learned that lesson just earlier today from Belamos. It was obvious this was no puny opponent. He would be low on chakra soon, so he'd use some Jutsu, but once he found this hot head, he'd make it close and personal. He ran chakra through his blades, performing a smell genjutsu, Kuuden, to try and mess with his hearing, if he was in range. If he could throw him off his game and at least distract him, he could get some physical blows in before he tried to char the kid. For now he'd do that and examine his surroundings, looking for the so called, Son of Helios.
Kuuden [ Static ] [ D ] This Jutsu targets the sense of hearing of a foe. While under the effect of this skill, the victim constantly hears the sound of static in his ears, making it difficult for one suffering from this affliction to hear sounds over the annoying noise. Often used to hamper communication between foes, as well as a distraction. The effect is increased by one rank iif the target is wearing/using a communication device.

Don grimaced at the sight of his attack being dodged. This runt was elusive but weak. It was time getting to be time to put him down. He stood quite still as the boy launched his Genjutsu- one that only served to momentarily annoy Don before he used the Genjutsu Release to get out of it. "You are not worthy to stand at the side of a living God" Don raised his hands to the sky, a look of utmost concentration upon his face "I will kill you, O apprentice of the Sun. I will take your place as the right hand of Lord Karna and serve as an instrument of his Righteous Will!" Something formed- floating in the air above Don Ricky's raised hands. It was small but slowly grew until it formed a miniature Sun. The Soul of Helios- an attack created and perfected by Belamos Karna himself. Hajime had seen it used numerous times, namely in the destruction of Otogakure. He knew of its destructive power, and while this copy may have been smaller, it was hardly less lethal "Behold a taste of this Divinity!" Don, now frantic in his ideological beliefs, would hurl the Soul towards Hajime. It was time to put up or shut up

"Enchantee tres bien. Magnifique. This cave is perfect yes." A trek into the mountains Trèfles was busy occupying himself seeking out precious minerals to further his skill in the workfield that was smithery. A pickaxe in hand whose tip was rightly and readily polished for the task at hand. While the other miners he'd accompanied doubted him they lack an eye for finding true diamonds in the rough as it were. "It has been awhile since I have done fieldwork bon. It is likely within my best interest to start small. Monsieur Tosokurui is likely in a poor mood today. It is best I avoid the hustle for now." Using his keen eye for veins of the mineral kind and such deposits he would begin chipping away at nearby rocks that had a sheen to them. Surely enough contained inside were gemstones and geodes. Particularly useless for most metal work aside jewelry. So it was ultimately a failure in a sense for weaponsmithing. Something of which would require further refining of his talents. Although as Trefles toiled finding simple geodes he would stumble across a vibrant line of something. "Ohohoho. What have we here. Straying from the pack has done me some luck has it?" With a few more taps the earth began to chip away and what else would he find but what appeared to be an iron vein. "Tre bien. How nicely this will do...and here we are so early into the expedition!" He would then proceed to inform the others of his findings. Ascertaining a cut of the resource for personal use to be sent to him at later date -Polish Supplies D -Basic Gathering D -Basic Kits +1
Where there was iron there was bound to more materials on this mountainside cave. Although it would require him to go ever deeper into its depths. Swapping out one pick for another provided by a fellow miner he'd ask for a lantern. It would of course be best to aptly prepared before further spelunking. Additionally he would bring with him rope and an additional flask of oil just in case. Deeper into the cave did Trèfles go to find another shining line so very thin. A dark crease it seemed although upon inspection it was not metallic in anyway. Still with the calling of craftsmanship came the inspection of every nook and cranny and this would be no exception. Holding the lantern close to the vein he would place a finger upon it and rub as though a house maid would a dusty counter top. "Oh non non non. This is coal...unacceptable." Placing a finger on his chin however he cocked his head in thought what could he make of this situation. "Hohoho." Snapping his finger together he began to chip away at the rock until the vein was fully revealed. He had no use for coal but the miners here likely would as a trade resource. It would prove to be a bargaining chip one could say for whatever materials the other men would have scrounged up since he revealed to them the iron vein. -Polish Supplies D -Basic Gathering D -Basic Kits +1
Ah it felt good to stretch the old muscles again, as few muscles as he did have. Although...a thought came to mind upon finding this vein of coal. Where there is coal there is likely a potential for there to be...diamonds. Cracking his neck and his knuckles he'd snap his fingers once more and proceed to look for the nearest mine shaft that descended. Using his semi-versed knowledge of geology if diamonds did exist they would be lower compressed from the pressure. This was the beauty of travel and the knowledge it imparted. Well, it also helped his adoptive father was quite well versed in cartography among other things. Geology, Zoology, Herpetology, Botany, Field Triage. All of these things felt second nature thanks to his influence. A trip down the shaft an the next floor was reached. This cave had been hit once before as evidenced by said shaft but it was clear whomever did the mining operation failed to truly seek out anything other than common minerals. Whistling a merry tune he could continue to walk down the dimly lit hallways. Until finally there he would see across what appeared to be a ravine a sparkle."Oh? Did by chance I find my beauty amidst this dank maze of precious gems." Getting a running start a agile leap across the ravine that no mere civilian would be capable of. All the years he had spent walking and venturing with his adoptive father had made his leg strength one of his best features. Although his upper body left a decent amount to be desired. Raising the lantern in hand to the sparkle he would smile beneath his mask. A firm strike from the pick in hand and the earth around it crumbled. "MAGNIFIQUE!" the wall glimmered and shined like none other. This material was indeed a special find...although his measly pick would be of no help in acquiring it. It was best he retreat to the mining crew to tell them of the good news. They had doubted his mining prowess due to his choice of attire but now they would have no choice but to acknowledge him for the talent that he was. -Gathering Special B -Special Kit x2 -Apprentice Miner Achieved
The mining process was taking a good sum of time of course. Hauling mine carts and the like among other things. Trèfles would return to the home camp to get some rest. He would later be interrupted by an old man wearing a cliche miner's hat. He would express his gratitude and go on to state that in all his time working the mines there was never a person who had the eye for veins as he did. The last man who did was a Hyuuga he said a hyuuga that lost his eyesight with old age. He would stare blankly at trefles empty white eyes. "So what say you be my apprentice?" The man would ask the loaded question which brought a coal covered hand to the chin of Trèfles. There was still much to learn in the world of mining after all. As such he would accompany this old Hyuuga but what happened then would likely have been entirely unexpected. The Hyuuga went on to explain the intricacies of the pickaxing arts but surprisingly it was Trèfles who would be teaching him. Trefles would go on to explain the intricacies of spotting and what to look for and in doing so would come across another vein of diamonds. Albeit it was just likely the original vein from earlier the two likely connected. But the old man did indeed show him something. A technique as to how one can remove even the hardier materials with a carefully primed pick. -Gathering Special B -Special Kit x2
Back at camp night was beginning to fall however, there was still plenty left to do in regards to the iron ore vein, and as for the diamond vein barely a dent was made. Trefles being the gent that he was would aid in their endeavors by keeping the camp tidy and making sure the appropriate tools for the job were up to snuff. In exchange he would only like to request that he gain access to some share of the ore when it was processed as with the prior arrangements. Of course quick to please the man who'd essentially gave them access to an alleged 'motherload' in a single day it would be a small price to pay. The old hyuuga miner would turn in for the night as Tresfles checked the time. It truly was a grand collection of resources today. Trefles would having gained a second wind would exclaim to the stars "Ohohoho I shall never tire! I've a legacy to uphold! I shantst cease until this cave has run try of all that is precious!" Tresfles would thusly head back into the caves and assist what was essentially a second shift of mining worker moving at almost a terrifying pace comparably. "Ohhohoho! These pathetic ores are but mere stepping stones to my grander goals bon!" flecks of iron, dust and the like kicking up into the air causing the nearby miner to cough profusely. Single handedly...well almost single handedly he would wipe the sweat from his brow. A pile of iron ore made faster than the carter could collect....well that was of course there were carters still present. Which there was not. Many of the workers had turned in for the night at their tents. 3 am. It was dangerous to be mucking around in caves this time of night but that would discourage Tresfles. The pile of iron he had made was but a small accomplishment compared to the future plans he had in store. -Polish Supplies D -Basic Gathering D -Basic Kits +1
Of course mining could not all be fun and games. That was something Tresfles would find out soon enough. He perhaps didn't feel it yet but he would undoubtedly be sore come time he finally did sleep. Well, there was that and something else, something else that was bound to happen sooner rather than later. Seeing as Tresfles did not find the iron pile produced sufficient enough to satisfy his desires. Customers would not be so entertained by the mundane. True enough the diamonds were a fine prize this night but what he sought would be something quintessential to future thoughts that spun around in his noggin. A new pickaxe in hand, a newly lit lantern, it was time to go deeper still. As he descended what he was looking for in particular was none other than something highly conductive. A material used in several electronic products of the modern day. Ah, assuming he lived in the modern day which we didn't this was the land of ninja magic but technological marvels would still undoubtedly require this material. That material in question of course was copper. That wonderfully conductive material used to make electronics. Deep, Dark, Darker, and Darker still he continued down the shafts. He could not find that of which he desired on the earlier levels. It only made sense of course. Strike gold once and you'll find all you'll find left is dirt later. The lights which had formerly lit the shafts suddenly ended at the point Trefles had reached. This was the deepest they had dug and no doubt the furthest the mining crew had gotten. Suffice to say his venture here wasn't all for not...he found more iron and even some steel on his route here of which he'd make known to those above late but nothing of what he truly desired. -Polish Supplies D -Basic Gathering D -Basic Kits +1
With nothing but the light of his lantern to guide his way he would follow the tunnel downward until finally he would come to large...dark...foreboding room. His thoughts racing with not fear but anticipation. This area is unexplored. This can only mean that the resources here will be profoundly abundant. Ohho Bon I could not be luckier..oh what..what is this? Bringing the lantern to the side of the wall a reddish hue revealed itself. Excitedly he would proclaim to caverns which echoed in return..."I HAVE FOUND IT I HAVE FOUND THAT OF WHICH I DESIRE! NON! MORE SO!" Additionally to the reddish ore something else alongside it caught his eye. Silicone. The perfect pairing for technological marvels. Then suddenly when the echo quelled...the sound of rustling. Or perhaps rather than rustling the sound was...skittering. "Aaa?" Looking up above him that is where he would see it. What appeared to 5 large spiders roughly the size of bears began to descend slowly. The roof of the cave he could now only take notice was covered in webs...not only webs but dessicated corpses...dessicated corpses wearing mining gear....it was then his questionable Aaa became... "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" the cave shook for the moment and like that of a school girl Tresfles began to flee backwards from whence he came. He had a long tunnel of which to run down as the sound of skittering chitin legs clambered behind him in chase. He could only thusly attempt to calm himself down with lantern in hand being his only source of light. "Think. Bon everything will be Bien. What would mois père do...you are but a simple man. Yet it is your mind that is your greatest asset. Shinobi have jutsu you have your ingenuity...ingenuity. Haha!"" He would feel across his belt loops to feel for the extra lantern oil from earlier he had brought in case of emergency, and such this was indeed an emergency. Upon finding it he would cradle it in his free hand. The lights to the shafts lift coming into view. "Indeed...they will likely follow moi up the shaft but to do so they would first gather together." As he began his run he began to liberally pour the oil on the ground. The spiders being the creatures they are thinking nothing of it. Finally upon reaching the shaft he would get in and turn around to see the horde hot on his tail. Quite literally mashing the button for the lift to begin its ascent. "Hurry yes...please....quickly now quickly moi has no more time to spare!" Suddenly the lift began to move and on its ascent Tresfles would look down to the group of arachnids. "I do believe this is au revoir. My friends." Tossing the lamp down to the grown the flames and oil ignited. The chittering screeches of the spiders echoing in the cavern halls. However there was one thing that he did not account for. Flames in mines more often than not...due to certain conditions...combust rapidly and...explode. A resounding boom shook the elevator as it suddenly started a rapid descent back to ground level. In this moment he came face to face with a face melted clinging to life arachnid and the scorching heat. In would then attempt its last hurrah to bite down on the mans head. "NON! NON! NON! NON!" With his arms in the air before the shaft elevator began to move up again and the creature crumbled. Never had he ever felt such a relief. Although the creatures that had hindered their progress likely before were now rid of. It was also the beginning of Tresfles considering taking up learning jutsu and combat. Advanced Gathering: C Advanced Kit: x2 Veteran Miner Achieved
The terror that was instilled inside him filled him with an unprecedented amount of adrenaline. The adrenaline fueled Trèfles to continue his pursuits. Perhaps it was a vim or perhaps it was just the fact that he need to calm his nerves. Suffice to say a truly amazing thing he'd discovered. The explosion from beneath the caverns had caused the upper floors to reveal more than what meets the eye. A stream of water was revealed to be leaking forth from one of the floor. A few ticks and and tacks and Trefles would discover behind it sandstone and flecks of gold. Certainly not enough to report but it could prove a useful material down the road perhaps. -Gathering Special B -Special Kit x1
Although the flecks of gold enticed him. This cavern was bountiful in riches it seemed even if they were in scarce amounts. If there were flecks of gold then it would be right to assume that there was gold in its entirety somewhere. His search would lead him to what appeared to be another small darkened cave. Though significantly smaller than the spiders doman. Here he would discover gold...although not a lot. In fact it was a negligible amount. Perhaps enough to make a single bar if anything. What did strike his eye however...was the room was abundant in QUARTZ. "Tres bien. This could not have been a more fruitful venture." Copper, Silicone, Quartz, and some Gold. All wonderful items to caste wonderful things. -Gathering Special B -Special Kit x1
Returning to the mining camp the others were starting to awake at 5 am. "Hey masked fella ready for another go around?" With his soreness catching up with him the exhausting mental event that happened that night he could only muster a few words. "Thee crawlies on the lowest floor, I have ridden them. Aaah..due save some of the ore there for me yes." "Holy crap man! You killed them spiders! I think your more than entitled to some of that ore down there as a reward in fact how about uh...sir?" Tresfles had already collapsed in a comatose like state in one of the camp tents...he wouldn't awake until later bordering on 3 p.m. when he did he would be cleaning up camp weakly before approached by the same miner earlier. "Hey you alive buddy? Sure did a number down there. But the guys are rarin to work ta dig deeper now thanks to ya. We figure we'd give you a cut of more steel we found." Almost zombie like in motions Tresfles nodded giving his approval. "You really did us a major favor guy. You're always welcome back in out book" Another nod of affirmation and a sigh. A lot was done in this one and a half day. He wondered how his boss was doing. Unbeknownst to him he also had quite the full day what with killing a Jashinist cult leader and all. Tresfles would then leave with his last hurrah being assisting the group of miners with their loads for the day. In short he could not wait to return home. Actually more over he could not wait to return home and enjoy a fine glass of wine. Today would indeed be the first of many days Tresfles Coeur would recognized as an asset to Arashigakure. -Polish Supplies D -Basic Gathering D -Basic Kits +1 -Master Miner Attained + -Grandmaster Miner Attained
The mess of brown hair that was Tokiyama made his way onto the aftermath. The land had been sent a mess from the lava sides that destroyed much of the natural terrain. To add to that it looked like rebuilding either hadn't been started or perhaps this place was never destined for that in the first place.
He was called here to assist in a series of rescue missions. Some shinobi and a few merchants had fallen trapped to the areas unforgiving nature and Tokiyama took the job for cheap. The shinobi would be first to receive assistance, being caught up fighting wildlife and trying to help stop a fresh lava flow. With a bit of guidance and assistance in landscaping with his wood release, the lava flow was redirected away from the rough camp that had been set up. (Rescue Complete)
Next was the merchants. They had only been stranded since the morning but a nasty mudslide had trapped their cart and they had been unable to move forward. Just getting to the location was difficult for himself, he couldn't imagine how bad it had been for the merchants, so by the time he got there he was swift to provide them with a wooden bridge to escape with. One last hefty shove of the cart got it onto the bridge and on their way, Tokiyama waving them off with a bright smile. (Rescue Complete)
The last mission was another merchant. Sort of. It would have been better to call them a noble as when Tokiyama arrived too another stuck cart. Instead of a bunch of men trying to dig the mud out from the wheels however there were obvious servants in robes attending to a man sat in a buggy. There had been no attempt to dig it out and Tokiyama guessed that they just sent for help and weren't going to pitch in anymore then they had to. One thing Toki was good at though was putting on a smile so he got them free and on their way regardless of the few complaints were slung his way in terms of how long it took. (Rescue Complete).
With the missions done Tokiyama vacated the area, having spread a bit more greenery to the destroyed lands.

Makara skulked through the plains of the lands surrounding her home...new home. It brought back memories of when she had first escaped from confinement. Her path was tiresome and lonely, a combination that when paired together, was quite lethal in its own right. She sat down on a comfortable looking rock and laid down to sunbathe as the memories all came back.
The leaves crushed underneath her mass, the beast's weight hurrying across the grounds in search of food. Her hunger had only increased since coming here and these small animals weren't doing it anymore. After chasing and killing the fifth rabbit, the creature caught wind of a meeting with a large group of people. They wore dark handbands and cloaks, though her eyes wouldn't be able to discern what the meant. All that she saw was food. She prowled closer while the massive tail underneath would shift around as she drew closer. Some might have heard her approach as they turned their heads just in time to strike at the smallest member close by. Her sharp teeth found their way in his neck, biting down with an audible crunch.
[ Mission: Assassination {S-Rank} Completed! ]
Delicious crimson liquid flowed into her maw, releasing her bite to lick it from her lips. The rest of the group went on the offensive, attacking her with projectiles and ninjutsu which she dove back into the surrounding lands to avoid. Unfortunately for her she didn't bring back enough to really make a meal out of but the opportunity presented to her was one she would take fill advantage of. Hearing the approach of a single pair of feet, she would lie low on a brush of thick grass and snap back at his approach, clawing at his feet. He let out a cry before it was silenced. Good. They would come. She helped herself to a quick snack while waiting for them to come.
[ Mission: Assassination {S-Rank} Completed! ]
After a few minutes the group would all gather close by to the bush where the grass and reeds were stained with red. Signs of a struggle were obvious, though the fallen comrade's body would be desecrated. The leader called them forward gave them orders. Split up into groups of three and search. Don't come back until the beast is dead. The many groups split up and left the leader. He would look at the corpse for a moment too long, his gaze cast aside at the blue of white rushing over to him and soon fading as his last moments were seeing a pale humanoid lunge at him.
[ Mission: Assassination {S-Rank} Completed! ]
They both landed with a thud, with the creature ripping whatever came off and swallowing it with a content murmur. Her nose came to the ground and would smell the scent of several of his kin. They would need to be disposed of as well. The long tail would snake around and lower into the sea of grass as she stalked the next victim. The first group hadn't gotten too far. They sat around a fallen tree and were speaking when Makara would strike. Her left hand fall on the first of the three, pressing down on him as the other two stepped back out of surprise. Her massive weight would slowly drain the life from him, hissing at the other two as their friend would struggle in his final moments.
[ Mission: Assassination {S-Rank} Completed! ]
A volleyball of arrows came at her quickly, feeling as a few would pierce her hide. She let out a pained Yelp and leapt towards a tree and then skittered up the trunk and into the canopy above. Behind the other two were searching for her. She could sense it. Good. She tree carefully above and kept her tail hanging just out of reach while positioning herself just right to fall upon one. When they stepped close, Makara lunged out of the tree and slammed into them, fangs finding their way into their flesh and dragging them down.
[ Mission: Assassination {S-Rank} Completed! ]
The final one of this group would take out a weapon, sharp. The blade caused the creature to tense up somewhat and let out another hiss. A slash was sent her way which just barely scraped her side. In retaliation her tail rose to smack the sword away. Both clattered against the tree nearby. Her pretty scrambled to get the weapon back but was too late. Makara had picked it up with the tail and soon impaled him with it, the blade lodged in the tree.
[ Mission: Assassination {S-Rank} Completed! ]
With some time to commit to rest, the creature would rest on her side and gently rip the arrow out of her shoulder, letting out a pained scream as blood flowed freely from the wound and onto the ground beneath her while she closed her eyes and would simply wait. It was a good ten minutes or so before the others would approach. They scouted the scene and tried to piece together what had happened. Some would draw closer to observe the still beast before Makara struck. She swung her tail around the group to catch them off guard, quickly raising and bringing it down on the closest to her as it connected to the head and they lied still.
[ Mission: Assassination {S-Rank} Completed! ]
It wasn't soon after that she fought the other two. They were a bit tougher to take down at first, Makara struggling to even land a hit thanks to their armored bodies. It took numerous attacks to even make a dent though Makara found an opening as she rammed into the plate then clawed at the fabric supporting it. With the defense falling to tell floor, it was soon showered with trickles of crimson while she helped herself to a pleasant snack.

The next opponent who had been waiting patiently thankfully took his shot at her. A sword was sent towards her again. Just a really long one on a pole. Whatever that was called. He thrust it towards the ground where she once. A short hop backwards and a pounce forwards was all it took to getting her nice and situated on top of him. Makara's hands wrestled the weapon out of his hands and then shoved it inside of him.

A last minute entry! Another armored opponent had been charging at her from the sides in a sort of ambush brandishing a spear of his own. A short hop up defeated that point as he struggled to lift his weapon. Makara flicked her tongue at him before jumping onto of him and then tearing his helmet off. Her curious fingers would explore the surface and held the pointed side down before bringing it down on top of his head. One, two, three times. Numbers lost as she continued until he would stop moving. Content with her actions she set the helmet done and got off of his remains.

The final member of the crew showed himself after his friends were dispatched. Brandishing a net and a sword, he threw his lifeline at Makara who got her legs tangled and thrashed around. Unable to shake it off, the creature would try and chew her way out which was unsuccessful. Sword attacks were thrown around wildly as the wilderness was frenzied at the loss of his comrades. The bound creature rolled back and forth to dodge attacks before an idea hatched in it's mind. She stayed put as one attack cut through the rope along with some of Makara. Gritting her fangs, she turned back in time and sunk her claws into his chest.
[ Mission: Assassination {S-Rank} Completed! ]
After that but of fun, Makara let out an exhausted huff and would begin her long trek back home. Her body hurt and she needed a nice warm bath. Her paws hit the ground like bricks as she passed by a survivor and grunted. The snake like tail wrapped around the figure and would increase the pressure being summoned to crush him. This continued until she heard a loud crack and set the body down, continuing her long trek home.

Crashing into a earthen hillside in a flash of lightening via heavenly transmission Toso's body sproinged up and down over and over again like a spring. It was a little discombobulating but he got his bearings straight. It made complete sense how a technique like this could outright kill a person if they weren't careful. When it came to Blood Oxen Toso was well aware of where the territorial beasts could be found. After all while he may not have specialized in red meats it didn't mean he didn't on occasion need to gather them himself for some dishes. As he climbed over the nearby hill there would be a herd of four.
Tails wagging Toso would remove from his coat a collection of wire. "This should prove enough. Ink would no doubt ruin the meat. bloop. Ah...am I talking to myself? Bloop..just like old times." Toso took some time to stop and smell the roses as it were and in doing so did he actually find some nearby roses. Blood roses as they were called. They remained stark red and their petals were known from adding fragrance. It would certainly prove an excellent garnish for later. Unfortunately, Toso failed to realize due to his oblivious nature that as he was rose trimming and admiring gathering them a nearby Blood Ox had taken notice.
Nostrils flaring and eyes turning Bloodshot red the horns of the beast grew spikes as it began to ready an advance on a hapless squidman. You see blood oxen are given their name for their red pelt and also because they seemed to slightly share a similar trait to Saiketsu users in that they could crystalize red protrusions on their horns via blood gathered from things they've gored in the past. That said the territorial beast charged. Call it a stroke of luck "Oh? OH! BLOOOOOOOOO!" his rear primed he was swept into the air in one clean fling. It felt like his rear had been poked with bbq skewers as he bled somewhat from one of his buttocks. Luckily he didn't have a swiss rear.
The Squid would then having ben launched fall into the circle of the herd. All of which looked down on the squid man. The horns of the one that attacked him crew larger protrusions having 'fed' of his booty blood. "I suppose we can't handle this civilly can we bloop?" Toso would say looking up at the beasts as all their horns crew protrusions simultaneously with the sound comparable to drawing swords..."Didn't think so bloop." Toso would frown. As the wire he'd been using to trim rose heads would snap to life. Wrapping the man in a cage of iron wire otherwise known as Kaganome.
All the creatures would attack only to collide with this wire and fail to advance angrily. Flaring nostrils abound suddenly the mesh cage would unravel and lash out. Striking the sturdy animals the creatures were rather unphased but pushed away as they all began to bleed lightly from minor injury. "Really now? Were you creatures always this strong?" Toso appearing as the cage fully unraveled rubbed his rear. "Or maybe I've grown weak bloop?" The lead ox with another in tow then charged once more fury in their eyes but this time the squid man was ready. A leap and a bound and the wire would wrap around the beast's necks at the last second. With a sudden and definitive jerk he'd snap both their necks. Land and dust himself off.
He did not like the taking of life. He ended it as swiftly and as quickly as possible. Self-defense would justify his actions as well as the necessity of hunting for the culinary arts. Not a single part of a beast was to go to waste. The other two Oxen fled long ago, something else having caught their attention. Perhaps the sounds of distant fighting...or the scent of large pools of blood which tend to attract them so they may enlarge their horns further. Still with all said and done. Toso would remove one of his scrolls and seal these two entities..but not before getting a face full of red from the subsequent 'bloodsplosion' of the horns returning to normal...thank goodness they hadn't collected enough to be truly threatening. Nature was cruel. But the food chain was something that would never change. Once more he'd rub his rear. "Bloop. I will likely be feeling this later." That said and done. Toso would look at his 'catch' of the day and think he could certainly go for some steak. Looking around for local herbs, Again in a flash he was gone.

Masanori felt like he needed a walk. A long walk, to sort out his thoughts - or at least just not be so... angry for a little while. The aimless journey brought him to a small town in Mudslide Hills. It was here he'd meet a man, one of the residents of the town, who was looking for help taking care of some 'pests' around the settlement. Witnessing the young Hatake strolling through the settlement, he called him over. "Interested in making some quick cash? We're having a little pest problem around here..." The man continued on to explain how these strange creatures were destroying their crops and livestock, effectively hindering their way of survival.
tab▰ Mission Completed (Monster Hunter Career): Hunter's First Steps tab▰ Mission Completed: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Masanori would turn down the offer for the money, but did not mind gaining some experience in dealing with creatures. The man brought Masanori inside of his home in the main room where papers littered the majority of the floor. Towards the front stood a board with various drawings and notes on it. He explained to the young Hatake that they had been studying this strange creature for the past few weeks, having collected enough data on them to make their attempt at hunting them down successful. Masanori took a look over some of the notes, glancing at the various sketches of the creature that were made. It appeared to be some weird dog, bat-like creature that liked to come out at night. Which made sense, as it was the best time to feast on animals and crops, as the the settlers in this town would likely be asleep.
tab▰ Mission Completed (Monster Hunter Career): Hunter's First Steps tab▰ Mission Completed: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
It was then Masanori and the older man heard what sounded like a dog in distress, quickly running out of the backdoor of the house. The first thing they checked were the farm animals in the shed nearby, none of which appeared to have been touched, but were otherwise visibly spooked by the growling, barking, and whining they heard. Masanori guessed it must have been these creatures they were after, but it was only midday. What could possibly cause them to be out so early. The older man went to go check his crops around the other side of the house, and that is when Masanori saw the source of the noise. Outside of the man's fenced-in property, towards the edge of the woods several feet from it, he could see a normal dog and the bat-like dog described in the farmer's drawings, fighting each other.
tab▰ Mission Completed (Monster Hunter Career): Hunter's First Steps tab▰ Mission Completed: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
The dog was fighting for its life against the canine with bat-like features, but it was clearly a losing battle given the creature's much larger size, and wing-advantage. Using its wings to keep the dog tapped beneath it on their back, it was free to bite at the poor dog with its vicious fangs. Masanori drew his tonfa sticks from his lower back, rushing to the dog's aid, slamming both sticks and his full body weight into the creature to knock him off of the dog. They tumbled to the ground, and despite their grave wounds, the dog continued to fight back, biting a chunk of the creature's wing off. It howled in pain, only to be cut short by the end of Masanori's tonfa stick that socked the beast right in the jaw. The boy still managed to misjudge the strength of the creature, which suddenly howled in a mix of pain and a savage rage. It's wings snapped forward, sending Masanori stumbling onto his back, allowing the creature to stand back on its four legs and retreat back into the woods, but not after bearing its nasty fangs at the Hatake and the dog.
tab▰ Mission Completed (Monster Hunter Career): Hunter's First Steps tab▰ Mission Completed: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Not too badly injured, Masanori went to check on the dog, who was now limping in the boy's direction. The farmer rushed in to help, witnessing the entire fight, while also gathering a couple of other townsfolk armed with weapons. Never had they ever had the chance of seeing the beast so vividly in daylight before. A trail of purple liquid - likely the creature's blood - lead into the forest. The farmer rallied up the other armed townsfolk on a hunt. Masahiro wanted to help, but the farmer thanked the boy for all of his help thus far, insisting that he stay here and recover. Apparently these strange beast ran in packs, so if it was alone and retreated, it was likely running back to the rest of the pack. With the blood trail leading the way, this was their chance to rid the pack of beasts messing with their livestock. Using their advanced hunting experience, the group of eight armed settlers travelled into the forest.
tab▰ Mission Completed (Monster Hunter Career): Hunter's First Steps tab▰ Mission Completed: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
A couple days had passed since the hunt, and the farmer allowed Masanori to stay at their place to heal up, take care of the dog, and help with the farm if they wanted to. The dog had recovered just fine within those few days of resting, returning back to its energetic self. The farmer was shocked with the young boy's experience in animal care. Figuring it was time for him to leave, Masanori offered the stray dog to the farmer as thanks for the hunting experience. However the farmer declined, noticing the dog's attachment to the boy. Since Masanori hadn't taken the payment for helping with the request, the farmer suggested that he leave with the dog instead. Their hunt was successful, and they were able to dispose of the pack that made their home in the woods behind his home. It was likely there would be less incidents involving missing or slaughtered livestock for some time to come. So with that, Masanori thanked the farmer, leaving his home with his new animal companion, Ryo, in tow.

Along the trails of the Lightning Country, a depot would stand out underneath the burrows of the cloudy skies. While typically these stops along a supply chain's path would be filled with containers and crates as far as the eye could see, they were nowhere to be found. Instead, what lied in front of the once great stop along the trade route would be humans. Children that were all chained together as the spare few adults would be overlooking them. Groups would be made, with terrified screams and shouts coming from inside of the interior of tents. Friends huddled by one another, siblings would be fighting with adults in a futile attempt at escaping their fate.
Yet it all didn't seem interesting to the doll.
Among the shadows would the silhouette of a small figure be displayed. It was cold, stained with water and the annals of time. The once pristine exterior had holes everywhere across the skin. The clothing the doll wore was frayed, destroyed. The interior fared far worse that it looked. It would continue floating endlessly while searching for a new master to service. The cries and sounds of children made for an easier time finding people, but their appearance was too freight inducing. Such a struggle to maintain its sense of self, but hopefully one of the mortals in here would desire something.
It began while the doll floated inside, careful not to draw too much attention to itself. A feat easier than considering the circumstances of their current involvement inside of the encampment being less than happy to see them. Although that was likely because of her current status on her body. Precious few kids would spot her eerily swimming up and down in the air while approaching them. Even fewer would listen to her explain her wishes.
"What is it you desire?" They asked what precious few kids they could. It wasn't until the doll came across a lone girl with blonde hair that was cowering in the corner, caked with dirt and blood that would be away from the other groups. Her eyes were absent, instead having a crimson stained cloth wrapped around them. She was crying, or an attempt at such. The adults nearby had only begun to hear the various complaints of the children talking about a doll floating through the facility as the feet behind them would be growing ever closer. The eyeless child would look over with caution. "Wh-Who's there?" in a meek voice. They did not respond, awaiting their answer. After a doubt of uncomfortable silence, she spoke again.
"Please, I just want to go home."
A simple wish. The doll could have smiled had she the capacity. Finally after what felt like an eternity of hollowness was purpose. "We shall give what you seek." A fire began in her belly, the holes in her hollow body beginning to twitch. The footsteps were getting closer and the doll did not but turn around and begin to do as they were tasked with. A man would be peeking into the room as they noticed the odd doll floating before them. “What the hell are you doing out of your room you little brat! I told you-”
The pain was all but absent as a tendril pierced through his heart. His sudden terror came swiftly while he'd look up at the half destroyed doll would find itself looking disappointed. Very little chakra to work with, barely a trace of one element. Pathetic all around. Tendrils lashed out of her arms, further piercing his chest until he grew still. The doll could care less. It turned back to the girl, floating closer so that her hand was grabbed by the girl. "Wh-Where are we going?" "Home." The doll answered. "W-What about the others?" The child asked while being led out of the room with the doll in hand.
Silence came between them while the doll would say nothing. "That is not what you wished. You will come." The girl stayed put. "Not without the others. I want to go home with the other people."
The doll almost debated following such an order, remaining silent again for a moment until it would speak in agreement. "We shall take you home with the others." It didn't have an emotive tone, moreso one that was just one solid, consistent tone.
One by one, the doll would lead the girl towards the groups of the guards and dispatch them. "We got a run- Augh!" One such guard would be scorched alove, the doll's ninjutsu fired at him as the girl would take cover. The doll would take caution not to get the poor girl involved in any fights, simply letting prey come to her. Other kids nearby would be frozen in fear or tired enough to just stare. The doll cared little for what their fears were, they were tasked with their duty.
Chains fell to the ground as the ninjutsu split them apart. Some would actively go to seek out weapons in retaliation while others console their friends and worried about the captors finding out. "Pathetic." The old worn doll continued its slaughter of people around the compound. By the time it was finished, the sound of revolution was upon them. The doll returned to where the child was but found no such girl. Had she been taken by the mob to safety? Caught by the stray guards here?
It mattered little to the doll.
They would wander off as the sound of steel meeting steel met behind her, wandering off in search of purpose. Perhaps the next one would be less terrified?
