when 5 minutes turns into 3 weeks kek



Kinda delayed this as I wanted it to be mah 1000th post.

Kek.

AND IT'S NOT A SHITPOST

faggits.

Let us begin.


Armament: "The weapons and supplies of war with which a military unit is equipped."


Last Time

Spoiler: show
Kamiko and Taiga escape their cells and meet Diamond Lee.
Itsuki avoids Hachemon and makes his way to Squad 3.
Kenshi manages to drag Kuria's body back home, fainting on arrival.


Part 13

"Oi, Sasaki can you hear that?" Sasaki was shaken awake by the new recruit.

"Wh..wha?" Groaning and stretching, Sasaki opened his eyes to deal with whatever situation the newbie had conjured up this time. The pair were on guard duty, a job that Sasaki had practically slept through for 20 years. This new intern however had only been here for a week and whether it was nervousness or a desperation to impress, he was adamant that every noise was an attempt to escape.

"Sasaki! Sasaki! Can you hear that! There's someone coming!" the intern pulled the visor that acted as the only method of looking into the dungeons. Convinced that newbie was losing his mind, Sasaki stretched back into his chair and closed his eyes. Several seconds passed and he heard a body hit the floor.

He opened his eyes and saw that the intern had been on the receiving end of a fire jutsu, the upper half of his face was completely charred black. He rushed to his feet and the second he placed his feet on the ground he jumped back up; the sheer temperature of the metal floor had melted his shoes instantly. He sat back down in his seat as the chair beneath him began to melt into the ground. Panicked, Sasaki let out a cry, shouting for any assistance. However the only response he got was the sound of his own voice echoing back to him. Squinting, he could see a rotating sphere of Wind encompassing the entire guard area. He paused for a second to admire the level of skill it would take to cast a Wind Sphere from the other side of the door. The jutsu was normally used for protection, but he knew that no sound waves would be escaping from within this one, the sheer speeds of the wind sent out a mildly strong breeze, aiding the heating floor in raising the temperature.

As the intern's body began popping and sizzling in the heat, Sasaki snapped out of his thoughts, the ground was far too hot for him to walk on, however he was forced out of options as the seat beneath him made contact with the ground. He jumped unto the interns body, the sheer heat radiating through the body was already scalding his feet. He stretched towards the alarm on the opposite wall before he heard a voice say.

"Found him...he's standing on the body" Sasaki looked towards the door and saw a pair of dark eyes on an even darker face staring back at him. "Increase the temperature Kamiko" the pair of eyes said.

"You...don't...understand how difficult this is" a gasping female's voice responded. However the temperature increased nevertheless, with the winds picking up speed Sasaki was forced to hop onto various parts of the dead interns body. He stretched forward, wrapped his arms around the alarm and pulled.

There was no reaction.

Ordinarily, lights placed along every metre all the way up the stairs will flash on and off and several hundred sirens would blare. He looked past the wind sphere, but not a single light had even come on. He looked back at the alarm and saw that seveal of the wires that should have been sealed were exposed and melted. Sasaki realised he was sweating intensely and he placed his feet back onto the chest of the intern. However the interns chest wasn't there anymore. Sasaki's hopping had only helped push the body into the ground, leaving him with nothing left to stand on besides a steaming pile of organs and red hot bones. Sasaki slipped in a desperate attempt to find some footing and internally cursed his luck for having only unlocked his primary chakra nature. 

The next 24 seconds were his last, all of which he spent screaming in flaming agony.
 


After almost 10 minutes of walking and a 15 minute pause during which Konohuro scared an intern shitless; Nanami and Konohuro had finally reached the top of the large, nameless building. Nanami had been walking behind Konohuro, sulking that he had let Taiga live. As they passed several unidentified shinobi; Nanami wondered just how many people Konohuro had under him. She paused, thinking she had heard something. She glanced at Konohuro before turning back to the shinobi she had just passed before remembering that none of them had hearing ability akin to hers.

Nanami Kirishima, aged 68, was one of the the rare shinobi to abandon their natural elemental affinities in pursue of Sound Chakra. Normally not powerful enough to be considered actually dangerous, Nanami had lived to an age where experience had granted her the ability to release Sound waves for hundreds of metres in all directions. And while there was no fatal Sound jutsu, disabling your opponents in such an aggressive manner was still a useful enough ability to have awarded her the role as The Hidden Snow's Kage.

"Konohuro...I think I heard something..." Konohuro had met up with a pair of medics and was in deep conversation with them, both of them nodding vigourously and latching on to every word he said. He was discussing rapid medical treatments to get Ken Himitsu back on his feet again and had a look on his face that said he did not want to be disturbed.

"Tsk..." Nanami turned and decided to head back to investigate. Whether or not there was actually worth looking into, she didn't plan on letting Taiga Himitsu live for what he did. The image of her only son flashed into her head as she stalked to the staircase.

"At worst, I'll lie and say he attempted to escape" chuckled Nanami to herself as she shifted into a jog, moving as fast as her aged legs would let her.



"Sooooo is he dead?" laughed Taiga as Kamiko retched into an nearby, supposedly empty cell. Kamiko turned and glared at Taiga, letting him know exactly how she felt about his 'joke'. In all her years spent in the ANBU, Kamiko had always had a particular distate for disfigured human bodies. Having used Fire Style: Furnace, she probably should've expected the result but nothing could've prepared her for the sight she saw. Glossy, stretched human skin laying loosely against cracked amd bones with a distorted expression of torment and pain that was far more disturbing than it should have been. The red steam rising from where the eyes used to be was the clincher and she'd had no choice but to hurry over to the nearest cell and empty her dinner.

Taiga took several deep breaths as he stopped his laughter and brought his focus back to the topic on hand. "Okay okay, so how do we get out...the keys are definitely gone, unless you want to check."

Kamiko backed away just as a green hand swung at her. She didn't even have time to process his latest joke.

"W-woaah"  From the cell Kamiko had just puked in appeared a short, hunched over elderly man. From the waist up, his skin was green and side effects of malnourishment were plain to see, his skin was plastered to his bones, making his hunched back and bony ribs even more evident. Perhaps more surprising was the contrast his lower body had, wearing nothing but knee long shorts, the calves of the man were pale in colour and laced with muscle. His calves would've rivalled even the strongest of taijutsu users and completely rid away any thoughts of malnourishment. The individual was an clear survivor of a series of illegal experiments to mix the genes of an animal with that of a human. The animal used in this case was unclear but from the age of the man, it could've likely been one that was long extinct.

Kamiko and Taiga took in the appearance of the man before sharing a look and a worried glance to the still sleeping figure of Diamond Lee. Without a single word, Taiga cast Wind Style: Twin Wind Scythes to free him. He held up his two hands with the palms completely flat; refined wind chakra whistled throug the air as he sliced his hands against the bars.

However before he could even make contact, the bars absorbed the chakra out of the jutsu. He hit his hands painfully against the bars. He shared another look with Kamiko, this time, a look of confusion on her face. He cast the jutsu and tried again. The same result. He rubbed his hands to ease the pain. The elderly man had retreated back in his cage, but looked on with desperate curiosity.

"Try adding more chakra to it, the wind sphere you kept up from earlier could've drained you more than you realised" suggested Kamiko. Taiga nodded, and cast the jutsu once more. He poured half of his chakra into it and had to put his hands together to control the refined chakra. Twin Wind Scythes was a powerful jutsu, requiring an impressive amount of control over wind chakra. Single Wind Scythe, on the other hand was a far easier jutsu to learn, and was often the gateway to the former one, a trick not known to many however was that once the Twin Scythes were mastered, the Single Scythe could be utilised for a far more ddevastating attack.

Taiga took several steps back and advised Kamiko to do the same. With both of his hands together, he moved them up over his right shoulder. In a single, downwards, diagonal motion, he brought upon the cage the full power of the Single Wind Scythe. The chakra left his hands and moved forward at high speeds, tearing through the metal of the cell and that of the neighbouring cell. Taiga rushed forward to push the beam out of place but to his astonishment saw that the metal wasn't even completely cut through. The cuts glowed as the bar worked at instantly restoring itself. Sighing, Kamiko appeared at his side.

"When I said more powerful I didn't me-" she was cut off by her surprise and held the bar in shock. Immediatly she pulled back her hand.

"Taiga. The bar is absorbing my chakra." As she finished her sentence, she looked over to him only to find him pointing and looking upwards. At the top of each and every single bar was a complicated string of letters, similar only to that used in sealing and summoning scrolls.

"Our cells didn't have that," Kamiko stated. She glanced at Diamond's snoring body, propped up against another supposedly empty cell and covered in Kamiko's coat. "and his didn't either."

Taiga stepped towards the dungeon entrance, a large metal door over a foot thick stood in front of them, he took a sideways stance and began casting the Single Wind Scythe again. Kamiko was about to interrupt him when she noticed that the door lacked any obvious sealing inscriptions either. After several seconds of gathering chakra, Taiga lunged forward with even more animosity than before. The foot thick door was cut in half diagonally and blown back several meters, the walls on either side cracked from the sheer force. The sheer damage invoked by the jutsu was only a remainder of the inescapability of the sealed cells.

The fact that they could escape so easily made it pretty clear that Konohuro casting a jutsu earlier was no mistake. For the third time in the past 5 minutes, Kamiko and Taiga shared a look. This one, a look of unspoken distress.

As the smell of burnt human flesh hit them in unison, so did a sound that turned their distress into full blown panic.

'clop, clop, clop, clop'

The sound of leather combat boots rushing down stone steps.



Standing alone, surrounded on all sides by treacherous mountains, shone the Hidden Snow Village. A village carved out of a mountain itself and reinforced with tremendous ice and metal gates; it prided itself on its impenetrable defense. On the surrounding mountains were splatters of blood where dead shinobi lay.  Both in and out the village were silent, streets and roads completely deserted and almost devoid of life.

Almost.

Outside the village, a single shinobi stood in combat facing against just under a dozen. With a shield of visible chakra surrounding her body, Shishida Amigake stood at her full height, showing off the might of Senjutsu. Her green and brown Amigake-clan armour glowed as it assisted her in absorbing Nature Chakra. Across from her, panting from their efforts were a group of hired mercenaries, who circled the brand new Envy of Katakiuchi, Crono Sabaku.

Skilled in kenjutsu and bukijutsu, the mercenaries were hired by Crono to help defend the Genjutsu specialists who were vital to Stage 1 of StarShizen's plan. Of course, their betrayal also wasn't expected. Shishida's blood boiled at the thought of having to go back to the Hidden Forest and explain to so many people's family what had happened to their loved ones. Roots spread out from underneath her as she began to attack, she would not let a single person live. Not for what they did. The roots wrapped around her legs, lifting her up and towards her opponents with a single motion.

Crono looked around in a panic, he had the ability to escape at any given moment but had been given very specific warnings as to what would happen were he to waver from the plan. And this being his first mission as Envy, he was desperate to impress. He jumped out of the way of as an arm shaped of wood grabbed at him from underground, he barely had time to raise his arms in protection as he was slammed into the ground by a swinging trunk. Kicking away the trunk as it peeled back to shape itself into spikes, a mercenary rushed to his aide and sliced the trunk in two mid-transformation. Crono barely managed to dodge 2 others, hiding behind a mercenary that took the blows that were headed his way. He finished casting a jutsu as another mercenary flew past him, blood pouring out of where both his arms should be. He cast an earth dome, knowing full well he had barely a second before it was broken through. But with carnage outside, a second of relief was more than enough. Crono's mind raced with ideas of how to slow down this assault, with the rate that this Sage was obliterating the hired mercenaries; he wasn't even sure if he'd live to see this plan through.


Itsuki ran through the empty streets towards the where he hoped the Hidden Snow Academy stood. He paid little attention to how empty the streets were. With each step he made, the sound of his boots echoed along the cobbled ground, only reminding him of his isolation. As he turned into a residential area, he was certain he saw several curtains pulled shut. Not wanting to be victim to a surprise attack, he channelled chakra into his feet and began scaling the walls in an effort to shorten the distance. Normally he wouldn't have used such a method as it made his presence all the more obvious to any shinobi he was approaching, but he decided that there wasn't much he could do. He'd already cheated death once. He would let fate determine whether he could do it again.


The Hidden Snow Academy was in ruins, torn apart by a last-ditch jutsu used by a dying Lava user, smoke and steam rose, acting as evidence of the stone and ice used to construct the building. Standing side by side were 2 shinobi wearing brand new black cloaks. Despite their freshness, they were splattered in blood and covered in a thin layer of ash. All around them were bodies strewn on the ground. At a height of 5' 6" stood the proud Sloth of Katakiuchi, his well maintained cloak pridely displaying his emblem. To his right was a man only 1 inch taller, with plain grey hair and a small frame that denoted a lack of adequate taijutsu practice. The emblem of Greed was partially covered in blood, but was recogniseable if enough attention was paid to it. Unlike Arashi, Hishiro Nakai had only recently joined Katakiuchi, a large deposit of gold was more than enough to have him leave his clan. Floating around the taller man were 5 kunai, each brightly with radiating lightning chakra. As they scoured the wreckage for any survivors, a kunai would fly from the man's side and pierce any suspected movement.

"Awe come on Hishiro, leave some for me" joked Arashi. As their mission was all but done, he was taking the time to recharge his large chakra pools. He didn't mind that Hishiro was finishing up the job but he had wanted to see just what made the silent man of such importance to Konohuro. He'd asked him several times what jutsu he could use but so far, but had simply been ignored, to further pique his interest, Hishiro had only stuck to Armament jutsu. Several more kunais zoomed from Hishiro's side, one of them travelling far further than the others. Upon hearing the sound of metal upon metal, both the Sloth and Greed turned their heads to inspect who had deflected the attack.


Itsuki had just arrived on the roof of an adjacent building when he was assaulted with a kunai.. He barely had time to get out a kunai and deflect it, and even then  his shoulder had been grazed. In front of him was what appeared to be the Academy, however a good 3/4 of the building were gone, wooden wreckage and 2 figures stood in it's place.

"Oh, fuck!" Itsuki could barely take in the sight before him before being attacked with 2 more kunais, each just as fast as the one before. He deflected one and failed to dodge the other, he gritted his teeth as it sank deeply into his right thigh. His pain was compounded as a wave of electricity passed through his body, forcing him to his knees. He opened his eyes to see 2 more kunai flying straight at him, and a half-laugh escaped his throat as he thought of the irony.

"I guess no one can cheat death"

Last Time

Spoiler: show
Taiga and Kamiko realise their escape is not as fortunate as they once thought.
Crono stares death in the face in the form of Shishida Amigake. He refuses to give in.
Itsuki stares death in the face in the form of Katakiuchi's Sloth and Greed. He accepts his fate.




Part 14

"Why won't I die?"

Itsuki posed the question to no one in particular, the response and especially it's source made him doubt as to whether he was even alive.

"Ahaha, guess today's just your lucky day" replied a familiar voice, Itsuki tried to open his eyes, but the intensity of the dark blue chakra was too much for his untrained vision to bear, especially at this proximity. He felt his stomach lurch, infact his whole body experienced an odd sensation and before he knew it his feet were placed on a patch of wet, heavily charred ground. As he shook his head to clear his thoughts and vision, he felt himself being grabbed and dragged to the side. He initially attempted to fight back, but the familiar voice told him not to worry, before the sound of thunder, but on a smaller scale  surrounded him.

Itsuki lay on his back panting and pondering over what the fuck just happened. He sat up several seconds later, as another lightning bolt landed a short distance in front of him, in the split second, he realised that the familiar voice belonged to exactly who he had suspected. Vuregu, clad in a thick coat of crackling chakra, dropped a bleeding body, before he vanished once more in an ascending lightning bolt. Ghost and Isei Himitsu worked together at dragging the unconscious shinobi to the side, panting in their exasperation, barely getting the injured shinobi away before Vuregu descended with 2 more bodies. This time, neither were breathing.

Itsuki turned away, laying his eyes on the unconscious figure by his side. Star-Shizen, the orchestrator behind this whole farce was covered in swollen bumps, deep cuts and dried, frozen blood. Itsuki scrambled to her side, examining her body for any symptoms of hypothermia. The continued use of Vuregu's lightning radiated a steady stream of warmth, preventing any of the surrounding bodies from succumbing to the dangers of the harsh Hidden Snow climate. As respectfully and carefully as he could, Itsuki began a medical examination of her mangled body.



A groan came fom Hishiro's side and he turned to see his very own kunai sticking out of Arashi's face, burn marks spread around the impact area as the electricity dissipated into Arashi's normally attractive face. There was nothing attractive about it anymore, one of his eyes swelling up several times larger than the other, nearly popping out of it's eye socket. The kunai was almost entirely embedded, completely gone from sight, except for the very end.

"Oh shit!" Before he could help himself, Hishiro had exclaimed in surprise. As Arashi felt his brain turning off, several thoughts ran through his mind.

"So that's what the guy sounds like" was his very last.



"How? how? how? how?" She repeated the question in her head as she awoke from her unconsciousness. How had they planned everything so perfectly? She understood that a gathering of herself, and the two Sages in both Onimaro and Shishida was a tempting prize for any neutral and even some shady village-affiliated organisations. But she still failed to understand how everything had worked out so perfectly against her. An infiltration of such scale, and at such speed was simply beyond her grasp. She had planned everything to exactly prevent such a thing. The Genjutsu users were assigned guards randomly, and the guards were hired from 4 different organisations, each one lied to about the the task. Minimal, and in some cases no details were given to each Squad about what the others were doing.

Stage 1 was to surround the village and lure them into a sense of danger using a large scale Genjutsu. The Genjutsu would soon be discovered by any highly skilled Jonin and the villagers would soon adopt a feeling of calm, thinking they had seen past the trick. At that point, Stage 2 would initiate, where shinobi would emerge from underground; surrounding key buildings in the Snow. Incapacitating those who resisted and subduing those who surrerended. All she had to do was take a quick look around her to see that both Stages had miserably failed. She did a quick mental calculation in her head. 320 shinobi, 80 backstabbing guards and less than 50 shinobi had survived.

She had even installed a Stage 3 incase both Stage 1 and 2 failed. But Yasei was nowhere to be found. She scolded herself for trusting the greedy man from the Kamikiri clan. She scolded herself again for allowing Onimaro to pick Crono Sabaku. She for one had never trusted those Sabaku savages. However the nature of which her plan fell apart made her doubt whether the Dust trash had an important part to do with it. She looked down at the suprisingly round shinobi that was attempting to heal her wounds. He told her to lay back down to ease the healing process, his voice shook from nervousness, fear, or both.

Ignoring the youth, she took the time to survey her surroundings. Every single ninja in the nearby vicinity was wounded, dead or dying, with the only 2 healthy survivors clearing the path for Vreg to carry in more. With thick thunderclouds hanging low in the sky, Vuregu was constantly teleporting himself to and from the Hidden Snow, crossing a distance of over 3km. Each time he brought back wounded shinobi, however from the looks of the latest arrivals, there were no more living shinobi to retrieve. As the grim reality of her failure set in, she searched the snowy landscape for a certain face, or rather, two certain faces.



"Erm...it really would be best if you lay down...your head is bleeding quite a bit" Itsuki tried again to urge Star-Shizen to lay down but the young woman blatantly ignored him, and placing a hand to her head, began to heal her own wounds. Itsuki paused, confused as to whether he should continue or not. His hands dangled suspiciously close to her waist and his mind raced at the mini-dilenma. He began questioning whether it was truly a benefit that he had survived when a question from Star brought him out of his daze.

"Have you seen Onimaro, or Shishida?" Itsuki scanned the area. Alot of the bodies were unidentifiable....and the ones he could recognise, he almost wished he couldn't. He got up and began to ask around, healing serious injuries as he went. He gave a silent thanks for having been forced into specialising in support jutsu. His Genjutsu and Medical jutsu had really paid off today.



Onimaro sat a fair way from where Vuregu had began his rescue mission. He'd been collecting Sage chakra for the past 30 minutes and was finally ready to face his opponent. He stood up, took a deep, nervous breath and as his immense chakra pool filled, he vaulted in the direction of Shishida's chakra. He left a crater with every step, reaching his destination in a mere 14 seconds.



There were 2 hired guards left, a pair of hired brothers who were not affiliated with any group, known for several successful assassinations of the Hidden Ash's and Hidden Inferno's higher ranked shinobi. Hanzo and Konishi Shizue, had long been utilised by Katakiuchi, all it took was deftly placed lies and several paid actors and the shinobi were more than prepared to bring down all of Jyuunshin. Together, the two seemed to be holding back Shishida, a feat that almost 80 hired guards had failed at.

"The second one of them dies, I'm out of here. I don't care what kind of Genjutsu Kono puts me in, as long as I'm alive" thought Crono to himself. As if on queue, his patience paid off and Onimaro Himitsu leaped into view. He was travelling incredibly fast and heading straight towards him. Crono barely had time to let out a sigh of relief before he was punched in the jaw, and sent flying at a pace that would have broken his spine, had he not already coated his body with Earth Style: Body Guard.

The momentum of Onimaro's leap still shattered his jaw, leaving him grumbling incomprehensibly as he struggled to his feet. Onimaro was upon him once more and with a simple stamping of his foot, crushed two of his ribs, breaking through Crono's Earth guard. Crono coughed, a wry smile on his face despite his injuries. He would show this fool that mere strength was not the decider of victory. Seeing the smile on Crono's face, Onimaro raised his foot once more and with a panicked look that was half pracice and half rehearsed, Crono Sabaku reached to his waist, unhooking a kunai plastered with a jutsu formula with the emblem of Katakiuchi's Envy at it's handle. Onimaro stopped, his foot hanging in the air, the sound of Shishida and the brothers' conflict escalating in the background as both parties seeked to aide their partner.



"Katakiuchi are a rogue organisation, they have a 7 member council instead of a leader and your son, Kazuki is on it. As well as Konohuro. They call themselves the Yugure and can be summoned at will by each other using a complex series of seals belonging to a forbidden jutsu."

Onimaro thought back to the conversation he had with the Katakiuchi whistle-blower, Zama. It took Onimaro hours of scouring through Godai Temple scrolls but eventually, he had found what he was looking for. The only existing form of teleportation similar to that which Zama described was a blood pact set into kunai, a variation of the existing Summoning Jutsu, allowing the contracted, or any who simply held the blood of the 'contracted' to have themselves summoned to any other who held the similar seal. The use of a jutsu like this, not only removed the doubt he had about Zama but deeply worried him as to the depth and breadth of Katakiuchi's resources. But this was not the time, he placed his hanging foot down as the whimpering shinobi beneath him began to fade from his vision. If not for his currently activated Sage Mode, he would not have had the speed to grab hold of Crono's arm.



Nanami Kirishima had descended into a sprint, the mere thought of taking her sweet revenge raising a long abandoned bloodlust within her. She had just passed the halfway point of the stairwell, glancing at the '600 steps left' sign that marked ones progress. As she neared the sign that quoted '550 steps left', Konohuro appeared before here, practically stepping out of air.  Nanami had to come to a grinding halt, almost knocking over Konohuro in the process. Actions like this remind her that he is the only one who knows where and what this building is.

"Let me make this clear to you. I have plans for Taiga. If you kill him, I will not hesitate to burn your pathetic snow fort of a village to the ground. I know that Ken would love to pay his home a visit." The colour drained from Nanami's face. She may look old enough to be Konohuro's mother, but anyone that glanced at the two in conversation would see that she feared, if not respected the man. Something she would never openly admit, for she was a proud woman, and in an attempt to appear as such, she glared at Konohuro and turned to stalk back up the circular stairwell.

"Wait. I require your assistance, I have set in motion a plan that is about to come to fruition." Nanami sighed internally, she cared little for his elaborate plans, one of which was currently occuring in the village that she was Kage of.

After having unconvered the details from Diamond Lee, Crono Sabaku and several other bribed shinobi; Konohuro had simply told her that he would be using her village as a means of weakening the Himitsu. She had resisted at first, but she truly held no power over the pale skinned man. She turned around, looking down at him from her position on higher steps. Despite the neutral look on his face, she felt as though it was he that were looking down at her, and in a simple voice, akin to that of one used to teach a child; he begun his explanations.



This was ridiculous, she'd been standing outside the war room with Konohuro for the past 10 minutes, with an intense looking aide standing several metres behind them. Despite her old age, she was restless when still and occupied herself with tapping her feet to an old Hidden Snow song taught to her by her father. Konohuro turned to her, giving her a look as to question if she was ready. She nodded, and rolled her eyes the second he turned around. His plan was stupid, bordering on childish, but she both feared and trusted him enough to not question it. At the sound of teleportation stutter occuring, Konohuro entered the room, Nanami Kirishima following, the two delving straight into a rehearsed conversation.



A smile spread across his face, he had originally planned to take the kunai from Crono's dead body, but having the prize presented to him wouldn't hurt. He still intended on killing the scum, or at least injuring him to beyond repair. But having him use the jutsu itself was far far better.

It felt weird travelling through space, an odd feeling that unnerved every cell in his body. And as he arrived at his destination, he struggled to fight down any feelings of travel sickness, even with the added constitution of Sage Mode. He landed in a dark room, with a banner of the Kirishima clan and Katakiuchi hanging side by side.

He swiftly knocked out Crono Sabaku with a punch to the nose, and turned to the door, to face both Konohuro and Nanami Kirishima. The pair were paused, mid-conversation, with a look of surprise etched on both their faces. Onimaro flared his stored Nature chakra, a viscous green layer bubbling out of him, forming a thin, yet incredibly dense layer on his skin. As he took a step towards the still gaping pair, Nanami put her hands together, casting a jutsu with a single sign.

A high pitched scream emanated from Nanami and both Konohuro and Onimaro brought their hands to their ears. Nanami increased the frequency and power and simultaneously her voiced carried in the air.

"Thank You for this opportunity Onimaro, I will set our differences aside just this once as we share a common goal." As she finished, the inhuman screeching came to and end and Onimaro shuddered at how helpless he had been, even with Sage Mode. He took several cautious steps to the door, keeping his eyes focused on Konohuro, who still seemed to be under the effects of Nanami's jutsu. As he passed her, she took out a kunai and gouged it into Konohuro's eyes, eliciting a scream of agony. She then moved her kunai to his other eye, screaming in anger about how he had simply sacrificed her village to further the cause. If Sage Mode were not impervious to Genjutsu, Onimaro would have been convinced that this was all a set up, however the screams of pain and the blood pouring from Konohuro's eyes were evidence enough that this wasn't fake.

He stepped outside and turned to both sides as an agitated looking aide ran into him. The aide jumped back, holding his hands up in defense and began spouting out his innocence. Thanking his luck again, Onimaro used the aide's guilt and fear to extract information from him, prioritising finding the dungeons and freeing any shinobi in there. Satisfied with everything he had received, he knocked him out with a swift palm to the chest. With a grin on his face, he began the long journey to the dungeons.
