A Shaking Start

## EARTHQUAKE! 8-28-15

DivineZiel: -With some time passing while he kept his stride, he began to see the villagers of Konoha rummaging around while they went along their daily lives. Nōzan though kept going towards the closest tea house to get a cup of his favorite tea. As his sandals clashed against the dirt roads of Konoha, he finally reached the tea house and sat down to wait for a waitress. Not even giving a second thought once one came up to him with a bright smile and asked "What could I get you tod-" Nōzan stopped her from asking as he said "A cup of black tea, thanks." Once she heard him, she went on her way to get the cup of said tea. Looking out of the window to the left of him, he then sighed slightly while his eyes closed halfway, showing he wasn't as amused by the surrounding area but, he couldn't do anything about it. After a couple of minutes passed, the waitress came back with a cup of black tea and sat it down on the table in front of him, offering him another smile while he then looked towards her then to the tea but then let his eyes shift towards her and said in his slightly deep, cut voice that sounded as if he was bored "Thanks." Once he said so, she left to go and wait on other customers while Nōzan reached to the cup with his left hand, placing it on the top of it, cupping his hand over the opening and clamped one side with his fingers and the other with his palm. Lifting it up, there was a little space to allow him to sip it. Raising it to his lips, then sipping it. After he got a taste of the beautifully made black tea, he then sat it back down as he kept his hand covering the cup while the owner of the tea house began to walk over to him. With his right thumb, Nōzan had it run over his bent middle finger as he pressed into the top knuckle of it and cracked it while he then saw the owner from the corner of his eye. Speaking lightly, Nōzan said "What is it, Roku?" The rather young and large busted female sat down across from him and said "Well, it's nice to see you too, Nōzan." Giggling a bit after so, she then said "I just came to ask you something, that's all." Nōzan looked out the window to his left, seeing the people of Konoha walking around and said "What is it?" Roku then said "Well, this cat came by and he has a name tag. I've asked around, basically all day for two days straight and nobody knows who it belongs to." Nōzan then said "And?" While Roku then said "I wanted to ask if you could take him, he's rather violent to mostly everybody but, I can't keep him." Glaring over to her, he then said "So, you want me to take a cat home with me?" Roku then nodded while Nōzan then said "Let me see the fucker first." Roku giggled again as she then said "Okay, let me go get him." After getting up quickly, she ran to the back room of the tea house while Nōzan sipped his black tea again, the same way and she came back out with the cat in her arms, trying to claw at her chest. Her blonde hair swayed until she came to a stop and sat him down on the floor, next to the table as the cat immediately went towards Nōzan and sniffed his calf. The fat, gray cat then rubbed its head against him and began to purr as Roku said "Well, I guess he likes you." Nōzan let go of his cup while he bent his body down a bit to pick the cat up and set it in his lap. Seeing the name tag dangling from its collar, the name was Jehberjerack. The cat then began to purr as it initiated itself to force him to pet it by rubbing its head against him. Still looking over the cat, it had scars running along its face and back. Beginning to pet it himself, Jehberjerack's tail began to sway side to side. Looking over to Roku, he said "Sure, why not." Roku then gave him a big smile and said "Thank you, Nōzan!" He then nodded as he looked back to Jehberjerack and said "What the hell happened to you?" As he asked the cat such, Roku began to walk away, not wanting to bother Nōzan a lot since she knew how he was. The cat though..seemed to know Nōzan or mistaken him for someone else maybe. Reaching back to his cup, he lifted it and drank the rest while he sat it down and tossed down some ryo for the payment while when he went to get up, Jehberjerack jumped from his lap to the floor and meowed in a low tone. Pushing himself up, he started to walk out of the tea house with Jehb following him closely.-

Sublucia:Walking around in the flower shop, Misaki struggled to hold up 3 boxes of special vases. She could barely see what was in front of her, she looked like a munchkin beside the boxes. To be honest it didn't really bother her… being a very selfless girl, she offered to help the old lady Haruko who owned the store to unload new merchandise. The old lady always loved her help and sometimes gave her some tips, but most of the time Misaki would not except any form of payment. Finally placing the boxes on the front counter she began to unpack the cases, looking at the many beautiful flower vases. Some had amazing designs that would seem like it took months to do, wiping the dust off she placed them on their selves and went to another box… For some reason this box didn't look like the rest. It was a dusty shoe box, looking like it would be a sort of memory box. Picking it up carefully she decided it was probably private, So she turned and went to place it in the back where her office was… But at she turned she bumped into the old lady and the box dropped to the floor having everything that was in it scatter on the wooden floor. “OMG I’M SOO SORRY… I WAS MEANING TO PUT IT IN YOUR OFFICE!!!” Mistake began to freak out. “Tis fine M’dear, Just some old letters and accessories” she smiled kindly. Kneeling down Misaki started to pick up the letters gently, putting them back into the cardboard shoe box. Misaki smiled as most of them said love letters on the front, after picking up all the letters at the bottom she noticed too necklaces were on the floor. They looked like a those kinds of army necklaces, Picking them up the old lady smiled. “That was me and my boyfriends necklace. We were about your age when we got them, on the back it says ‘love has no bounds’.” The old lady seemed as if she was remembering old memories. “Thats sweet, where is he?” Misaki stood to hand her the jewelry. “We got married when we were 18… He was a Shinobi, just like you. About 5 years later he died on a mission” She seemed calm but sad. “Oh I’m so sorry… These must mean a lot to you” Misaki dropped the jewelry into her hands. “They did.. They still do. But I want you to have them” Haruko held them out to Misaki. Misaki’s eyes widened and she stepped back, shaking her head she looked to the ground “No I couldn’t possibly take that away from you.” The old women laughed and grabbed her hand, shoving the jewelry into Misaki’s hands “Hunny you always work so hard here… You never want anything in return. I’m only get older and I’d rather you put them to use then stay in an ole’ box. You have a boyfriend don’t you?”. Misaki nodded softly blushing. “Then give one to him and keep the other” The old lady patted her head softly. “We haven’t been together long, I think it would be too much” Misaki blushed as she looked down at the beautiful gift. “Who cares? You never know what can happen tomorrow. Give it to him… Goo you helped far to much. I’ll talk to you soon” Haruko smiled and pushed her off. Smiling Misaki nodded and got her stuff running out the door, “I gotta find him… where could he be…” Looking around she began to skip through the village in search of Nōzan.

CadetHipster: Akemi jumped a little when she heard Lagi speak. "Oh my" Spoke Akemi now standing up and putting her book away. "Nice to meet you Lagi, You already know my name." Spoke Akemi now chuckling and dusting herself off. "It was nice to speak to someone for a while, Let me know when your training next and i'll come join, I-If you want me to, I mean you dont have to" Spoke Akemi now bowing and running off towards the village. Akemi got to the known ramen place and leant against the wall breathing heavily while her cheeks were flushed red. "D-Damn" Spoke Akemi now limping into the ramen place, "How could i train on an empty stomach, I just had to fall asleep earlier" Thought Akemi now walking into the ramen place and taking a seat while waiting for a staff member. She swung her chair around and opened the curtains a little bit now watching the villagers and ninja's walk past. Akemi was about to turn around when she spotted a ninja and a cat walking side by side, Akemi chuckled at the picture of a Ninja living a domestic life with a cat. She just sighed and rolled her eyes now turning back and ordering her food and pulling out her book now reading it again and letting her hair cover her face.

DivineZiel: -During the time that Nōzan had been walking around the village from the tea house, he looked down to his feet and sw Jehberjerack walking beside him closely and occasionally rubbing his head against his ankle. Nōzan began to think for a bit while he was back in the tea house. When he looked into the cat's eyes only for a second, he didn't feel right however, Nōzan shrugged it off, thinking it was just some stupid things in his head. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a female looking towards him, looking as if she laughed or something but he didn't think anything of it. Continuing his stride, he turned the corner as he said "Wonder if Misaki is done, considering she only helps with a few things and then is sent on her way." Nōzan then saw a figure in front of him while he didn't catch a glimpse of his face but they then bumped shoulders with each other. Nōzan looked back towards the guy that had on a straw hat covering his face as a deep voice came from the shaded head "Keep your eyes open next time." Nōzan nodded as he said "My mistake, something caught my eye." The man gave him a slight nod and turned to stay walking. Nōzan did just the same while he turned back to look ahead and noticed that Misaki was skipping. Giving a slight smile, he then made his way towards her as Jehberjerack stayed by his side. Once he got about five feet away from her, he raised his voice and said "Misaki!" Not bothering with waving since he knew she'd be able to see him even with the people around, he then began to walk towards her and said while looking down "So, I was given this cat by Roku from the tea house, he's quite the little looker, huh?" Chuckling a bit, he then saw that her hand was closed while the other one was open and said "Watcha got there?" Looking back up to her as his pink fire eyes caught her beautiful blue optics, he still kept a slight smile upon his lips.-

BaransuKenzai: Lagi simply gave the young woman a brief nod before putting down the set of dumbbells and seeing her sprint off into the distance. He soon after came to a stand and dug underneath the cloth belt that remained around his waist and removed a pair of metal hora that fit perfectly to his hands. The very moment he had placed the pair over his hands he’d make his way towards the training dummy to begin practicing. The same sweat that covered his body soon became his weapon of choice. In passing Lagi began to focus drawing his own chakra forth as it began to flow over his toned physique. His muscles began to show how cut they were as he drew the sweat from his torso and brought it towards his fist. The moment this happened he’d through a single punch and with that it was as if he’d swung a blade at the training dummy. If one were to be observing this action they could find that he had used those same droplets of sweat as a pressurized blade having sent it hurdling through the wooden dummy with ease.

Sublucia: Skipping about, Misaki heard a familiar voice calling her name. Looking in the direction of who called her, she saw it was Nōzan. Smiling brightly she ran over to him seeing there was a cat beside him, hearing how he got him. Smiling she looked down at the grey cat, “he’s so cute.” Hearing him ask about what was in her hand, she remembered about the wonderful gift. “OH well, I was at the flower shop and I found them. The old lady gave them to me… I felt bad but she insisted. They were hers and her husbands when they were young. She gave me the idea to give one to you” Misaki giggled and went to hand him on of the silver necklaces, “It has a cute saying on the back”. If Nōzan turned the necklace on the back it would say ‘Love has no bounds’. “Hey please just leave me alone” a sheepish voice begged. Turning around Misaki would see a little boy curling up around some older boys. By the looks of things Misaki already knew what was going on. Having an unpredictable personality, Misaki could go from happy to extremely pissed in a matter of seconds. She was already fuming with anger, “HEY! Punks! Who do you think you are!” she stomped fast over to the 4 boys crowding the smaller scared boy. “Just go away girl. You might break a nail” The boys chuckled and Misaki’s right eye began to twitch. “You… You Stereotypical-lowlife-Scum… YOU PISSED OFF A DRAGON!” Her voice was quiet then bursted out like flames. Reaching over her back to her battle axe, Misaki gripped it tightly in her hand and swung it close enough to at least scare the bullies. “WOW! Okay SHE’S CRAZY! LETS GO!!” The boys ran for their lives. “Don’t dare try to hurt him again!” Misaki yelled putting her axe on her back again. The little boy looked up and hugged Misaki’s waist tightly, you could see the the flooded tears. “Hey don’t let anyone pick on you okay… I know your strong, your heart beams with strength. You just need to embrace it” Misaki smiled and the boy nodded running to his home seeming much happier. Misaki sighed and turned back to Nōzan wondering if he liked the gift.

Kaiiaki: ＿φ(￣ー￣ ) Nakara couldn't help but give a last glare at the villain. The anbu black ops were taking him away now. He would be interrogated until he started to spill the beans. Through means that might be less than the orthodox way of doing things. And for threatening her people and village...there was no way she would let this one get off easy. The way he spoke to her. With threats of Orochimaru and himself tearing the village apart. One by one. It really grated her gears. Making the fire within her soul rear up and threaten to burn the whole building down. With the perpetrator inside of it. He was lucky that she didn't kill him right then and there. But logical thought overtook her fighting spirit. She was Hokage now. She couldn't just kill any threat that came into her presence like before. It was smart to find out what this man knew. If he had learned anything about them at all by the time he had been non-successfully trying to spy on her. It was also important that she find out what this man knew about Orochimaru. What he was planning this time. Whatever it was, it seemed that he was obviously a bit shorthanded. Due to the fact that he had only sent one man. Nakara wondered what Orochimaru had been thinking, sending one of about chunin strength to spy upon her. Was he underestimating her? Was this some kind of joke? Or was this his way of trying to be subtle without rising too much suspicion? Whatever the reason, she would find out. She wasn't going to let this man just walk up into her village and do whatever the heck that he wanted to. No, he would pay for this. He would pay dearly for it. When the Anbu Black Ops took him into the interrogation room, Nakara followed alongside Bakku. She opened her mouth to speak to Bakku. But then thought better of it. He knew no more of the situation then she did. If nothing else, less. "You stay out here for now Bakku...I will call you if I need you." Nakara didn't wait for his response. Stepping inside the room, her heels clicking upon the floor of the building. Then there was no sound at all. As there was nothing inside of this interrogation room. A room of nothingness. Nothing for the villain to grab on to, it might as well have been a genjutsu. Yet it was a windowless black room. A special seal upon the door prevented all but herself and the certain black opop's chakra signatures to be used within it. This intruder would not be able to use any of his chakra now. He was trapped. The Ops members had chained him to the back wall of the room. Using a special cloth wrapping jutsu that would immobilize the figure. It was used back in the 3rd Great Shinobi War when Nakara's relatives had used it trying to capture deceased Akatsuki members. Brought back to life using a forbidden jutsu. And now it was being used again, to subdue a certain enemy. The sedation should be wearing off within about 3 minutes. Nakara's sage mode began to wear off. And she could feel her strength returning to normal levels. Although it didn't quite matter if she had it now or not. She was going to interrogate this fiend until she knew everything he knew. And if he didn't want to talk, then that's what the Yamanaka Anbu Black Ops member would help with. "Alright you villainous snake...SPEAK!" Nakara's alto-toned voice spoke out with force and authority. Her now regular aquamarine eyes turned over from the Sage pupiless ones that were showing less than a minute ago. They burned with such an intensity. That one that was home to the village of Konoha might refer to as, "The Will of Fire." φ(￣ー￣ )ノ

DavidMason533: -Kaiko woke up to villagers chattering outside and merchants advertising sales. It was a sound he was used to since he lived on main street. He then sat up and climbed out of his bed and made it. Straitening out every little wave he smashed and tugged at his covers until they were perfect. Kaiko walked into his bathroom and turned the knob that made cold water come out, took some into his hand and splashed it on his face to wake himself up. He looked in the mirror and saw his thick black hair was pointed in every different direction. He did what he did everyday and opened up a container of hair gel and brought it all together and pulled some of it upward. Kaiko walked back into his room and opened his dresser drawers grabbing a black jacket with steel plates on each shoulder, black pants,grey and black boots, and a black shirt and put them all on. He went to the other side of the room where he kept his pouches and weapons. Kaiko then slid his black pouches onto his belt and tightened it. He walked into the kitchen retrieving a small white rice ball eating it on his way to the door where he finished it, and retrieved his mask from the wooden coat rack, putting his mask on he opened the door and walked out closing it and locking it behind him. He began to do his daily exercise of running from roof to roof and scaling up walls (not using his chakra) for this was great exercise. After an hour, he was done and the sun was bright in his eyes making them water. He was on the other side of the village from the Hokage's office which is where he started going to, wondering if the Hokage had anything she needed to have done.-

JaeAre: Hearing the subtle noise of clacking similar to horse trotting around fading in and out as he began to open his drowsy eyes, not knowing what had happened or where he was. As he tried to open his eyes it felt as if each eyelid weighed about ten pounds as he slowly but finally managed to open them. His vision was blurred to that of a drunkard who had been drinking all day, as it was hard to see what was around him at the moment and at which that time he tried to wipe his sleepy eyes but noticed he was being held motionless again. Finally, after about two and a half minutes his vision would come back to a point that he could finally see what was around him and where he was at. It was fuzzy but he could see as he looked down to see he was bound by a special chakra infused cloth rendering him motionless yet again. "Scared... they must be if they must bind me every chance they get..." he would say in a soft yet sadistic tone of voice. His eyes would dance around the room like bee's going flower to flower gathering pollen on a warm summer day, but to his surprise it was a room of nothing... a dark room with one light bulb that flickered on and off every 3 or so minutes, no windows, plain concrete walls, and one entrance door.... yet a weird room to be bound in something felt much more strange to him. He tried to rip through the cloth by trying making his ribcage poke out of his torso grunting and moaning trying his best to release chakra, yet nothing happened. He would be motionless and his chakra would be suppressed by an known presence that he could not tell of which it was. He kept hearing the horse like clacking getting closer and closer as he would just close his eyes waiting for the arrival of what he figured to be the interrogator that would try and scare information out of him. About 15 seconds later the clacking noise stopped and the door slammed open with violent intention as it slammed against the wall adjacent to it making parts of concrete crumble from the wall into a small dust pile. He would lift his head slowly much like that of a turtle poking its head from its shell and open his eyes revealing the ghostly white eyeballs which would lock themselves onto his interrogator. Yet... to his surprise it was just the Out spoken Hokage looking at him with the intention to kill, as if it was going to scare him. It was to little effect if she thought death threats and harsh tactics would get any information out of him, for she would be looked upon as a coward to try and take his life as he were not able to fight back. To him she seemed scared of what he were capable of, as to why she called the shinobi named Bakku to subdue him instead of trying to deal with it herself. He would do the same thing to piss her off as he did most of foe's, as he locked his eyes on to her's as tight as seal she had put on the room they sit alone in and let off a devilish grin ear to ear. She was not very fond of this as not 4 seconds later she would yell in a violent tone at him " ALL RIGHT YOU VILLIANOUS SNAKE...... SPEAK!". As he would respond "Oh I will speak alright" as he would let out a loud devilish chuckle as he kept his eyes locked on her. "What all would you possibly like to know?" he would say with quite the smart ass tone as he kept chuckling at her.

HikaruAkumuRyu: -After awhile of sitting at the food stand Yuri took the last bite of her bowl of ramen, Soon after gulp down the last of her ice cold drink. Once she was done she would stand from her seat and bow politely towards the man at the stand, Thanking him once again for the food she got. ”Once again, Thank you very much “She bowed just before she went on her way towards the near by Library to do some research on several things connected to her clan, In hopes of getting some clues on how they we’re and the skills they acquired.“Next stop, Library” She mumbled as she made her way towards the library which was near by, As soon as she walked away from the food stand she notice through the corner of her eye a few other shinobi’s roaming around along with another girl making her way towards the same location but soon after turn her attention in front of herself to be on her way. As soon as she got towards the library she asked for a certain book but the lady at the library said it was already taken by a young man earlier ahead of her. Yuri would sigh a little and decided to look for another for the meantime. “Lets see, What should I read..” She mumbled as she thought on while looking through the books.-

Kaiiaki: ＿φ(￣ー￣ ) A sarcastic tone, that's how he wanted to play it. ~Well two can play at that game~ Nakara thought to herself. "Oh, I dunno. Just everything you know about Orochimaru and this village. But if you start now you might be able to finish by next week." She winked at him. Showing that she wasn't afraid to play his own game. And neither was she afraid to beat him to a pulp. Which she could easily do if she wanted. She was not intimidated by him to say in the least. He could think what he wanted about her. Considering the source was that of scum. Since he was in the hands of Orochimaru. Nakara snapped her right fingers. A flame instantly igniting from her fire chakra within. "Many people choose to snap when their faces are being melted off." She took a few steps forward, extending the burning flame towards his face as she walked closer to him. Now within 4 feet in front of him. "You're not as good as you think you are if you could as easily captured as this. You have already failed your "Lord Orochimaru's orders. So you might as well give it up and tell us your story. You won't live if you return to him without your information anyway. You know he'll kill you." Nakara spoke in an even tone. Clipping off her words with enunciation. She moved her hand towards his face closer, within 12 inches of his face. He would now begin to feel the harsh burn of the flames. Pelting at him harshly. Threatening to melt his face as if it were made of wax. "So what's it gonna be?" She said, almost in a cooing type of voice. But just then, Nakara felt a rumble, beneath her feet. A small one. Like someone had just moved something heavy across the room. In her mind, she was wondering what the hell was going on. But she didn't so much as flinch in the face of her enemy. Maybe he hadn't had noticed it. Whatever was going on, Bakku needed to come and report it to her as soon as possible. But she wasn't just going to leave this fiend in a moment like this. She stood absolutely still, waiting on his response. φ(￣ー￣ )ノ

Sublucia: Standing in a battle stance, little Misaki Uchiha stood in front of a training dummy that had several kunai’s punctured in its chest. It was early afternoon in Konoha when she decided to leave Nōzan for a while to go and train. Being very dedicated to getting better at her aim, Misaki was sweating bricks. She would jump from tree to tree angling herself in may ways including; side ways, backwards, forward, upside down… Any possible way you could think of she probably tried it. Challenging herself has always been a must in her training sessions, Misaki did this to figure out her strengths and weaknesses. With the goal to be one of the best Kunochi’s Konoha has ever seen, Misaki promised herself she would train every single day at least a couple hours… Who knows… Maybe one day she could be one of the stone faces. “Misaki, come eat something. You haven’t eaten since breakfast” Her mother called out in a sweet tone. Stopping Misaki barely realized her stomach had been rumbling this entire time, “COMING!”. She ran into the house to see some tea prepared with three rice balls on the kitchen counter, just the aroma began to make her mouth water. Grabbing the dish and cup, she moved herself to the dinning table where she ate her yummy food. Finishing she kissed her mother on the cheek and ran out the house with her weapons in the direction of the village. Having nothing to do the young Kunochi decided she’d adventure out into the streets. Doing so she sat herself on top of a small building and watched as many villagers went on with their business. “Im bored… Lets see what can I do…” She pondered her mind looking around at her surroundings. Snapping her head to the left she had something catch her eyes immediately, a long clothing line hanging down like a rope to swing on. She grinned jumping up, running up to the rope she grabbed it and launched herself off the building thinking she would swing to the other side of the street… Sadly it didn’t. Looking up she noticed the rope wasn’t tied and ended up swinging her in the direction of the Hokages office. Having her eyes widen, she swung through the streets yelling out “LULULULLULULULULU.” Everyone on the streets stopped to stare at the young girl, having most of them think she was a bit insane. Letting go of the rope she was flying through mid air, about to land on the second pant were there was a window to the Hokages office. Falling into a summer salt, Misaki slipped forward on the tips of her toes slat on the window like a fly. Twitching she slid down the window slowly hearing the window squeak. Knocked out instantly by the impact she passed out on the side roof, hoping someone would find this goofy child.

JaeAre:As she began her antics, he would not give in this easily, "You want everything I know eh? Maybe if you ask a little nicer sweet cheeks" He would say bursting out in a hysterical laughter. She kept the same stern look on her face as if it were chiseled from stone. As she began what she thought to be torture, she would snap her fingers like a normal human but the sound was anything but that. It sound as if a mini-cannon had been fired as a flame emerged from her pointer finger's tip. She slowly started moving her finger towards his face threatening to melt him away if she didn't give her the information she wanted. As she was trying to make him believe she was throwing down straights, he knew it was all just an elaborate bluff for she knew nothing of the threat that loomed over her and her village as it would come swift, silent, and bloody. She would stop and hold her finger about 12 inches from his face enough for him to feel the immense heat and start to break a slight sweat and a bead of sweat rolled down the center of his forehead down the bridge of his nose. "Fire does not scary me woman, melt my face away, hell set my whole body on fire and see how far it goes hahaha....". She would glare at him with lethal intent in her eyes and make one last threat as she would throw it in his face of how easily he was captured and how even if he would make a break he had failed master Orochimaru and would be killed upon return to him so he might as well spill whatever he knew, that statement sent him into a burst of laughter. Finally getting himself back together after her recent statement he would sarcastically blow the flame on her fingertip out and reveal the true plan "You think he would send just one person to scout an entire village? You insult the intelligence of the man who has looked over me my whole life. I was meant to be captured, to get inside of the village, and to see the best points of attack as I was once inside." As he would continue to try and hold his laughter back, she would reignite the flame of her finger tip and start to bring it closer inch by inch every second or so giving it about 10 seconds before any flesh would start to be burned. But what she didn't know is Kaguya feel no pain, so even if she were to try and melt him away he would feel nothing and she would get no pleasure out of it. But, what she was also failing to realize is he would be able to regenerate his flesh due to his unique Kekkei Genkai. But, as soon as she brought about 4 inches from his face he could feel a small rumble similar to that of something heavy being dropped down a flight of stairs. He could tell even though she kept the same stone face and that her eyes never left his that her attention would be averted to the disturbance outside of the room. Ban, still looking her eye to eye as if they were staring into each others souls would sit and wait for her next move. Knowing that it had a great possibility that it would not be towards himself he would just sit, eyes locked on her in complete silence

DavidMason533: -Kaiko was now three-fourths of the way to the Hokage's office when he stopped at a ramen shop and ordered a small bowl of pork and beef ramen. The man at the stand quickly fixed up a bowl and set it infront of Kaiko. He pulled down his mask and the heavenly smell filled his nose. He picked up his chop sticks and dug in. The meat went first because of its protein. He picked slices up and they would drip yellow broth into the small white bowl making small splashes. About 50 seconds later the meat was gone and he began slurping down his noodles. Kaiko paid what he owed and left a tip for good service. He sat up and pulled his mask back up on his face and left the small stand. He continued to the Hokage's office when he saw a child swinging along on a clothes line. He thought to himself, : What is she doing and why is she making that ridiculous noise she reminds me of how I used to be: He was ten feet away from the entrance of the office when he watched the wild child smack into a window and lay there. He then climbed up the side of the building moderately fast. to where the child had landed and attempted to bring her back to consciousness continuously saying, "Hey, kid wake up."-

Sublucia: Dreaming up a storm, Misaki Imagined herself leaping through fields of candy flowers and rice balls. She was in slow motion and as she looked up her sky was filled with marshmallow clouds. You’d think a dream could not get any better than this but you’re wrong, within the field was a giant white rabbit with a black top hat. “Mister easter bunny is that you??” her voice sounding like a child on christmas day. “Yes, would you like some chocolate and tea?” The rabbit showed her a tea set with a basket loaded with chocolate. Misaki was in heaven, “I thought you’d never ask…” she ran in slow motion… Before she started to hear foot steps. Looking around she heard talking. “Hey, kid wake up.” The voice was so loud in her mind she jumped and looked at the sky, “God? Is that you.” But before she could her eyes snapped open, her sight was a bit blurry but started to clear after a few seconds. Looking up she say a guy, he was tall… but he was probably around the same age as her. “W-what happened” She sat up rubbing her sore forehead. Looking around she noticed where she was and started to laugh like an idiot. “OMG THAT WAS AWESOME! minus the me getting knocked out part” She jumped to her feet staring up at the guy with her hands on her hips. “Thanks for waking me up, The East bunny was trying to make me fat… You can never truly trust them” Misaki chuckled already forgetting she smashed into a window. “Anyways! I’m Misaki Uchiha, Soon to be amazing Kunochi. Nice to meet ya” her voice was excited. Being the social butterfly she always has been, she smiled to the guy and offered a hand shake.

DavidMason533: -Kaiko chuckled at what she said about the Easter bunny making people fat. She has a good imagination. He thought. He saw her reach out her hand to shake it and so he shook it and said, "Nice to meet you Misaki. My name is Kaiko Hatake. By the way be more careful next time. " He reached in his first aid kit and pulled out a mix of herbs that ease pain and gave it to her since she was probably having a terrible headache. "Take this it will make your head feel better." he said putting it in her small hand and then he walked up to the window opening it climbing in and closing it behind him looking around for his cousin ,the Hokage of the village,. He went off into the long hallway looking.-

BaransuKenzai: Moments after Lagi had finished delivering a severing blow to the training dummy he could be seen replacing the weights he had been using. In passing he could be seen simply leaving the training grounds with little hesitation. He tucked away the pair of metal hora he had continuing about his. He’d simply let out a brief stretch before slipping into one of the many restaurants that rested around Konoha.

Kaiiaki: ＿φ(￣ー￣ )This one just wasn't budging. And apparently the little rat didn't feel any pain either. Probably due to the fact he had most likely been experimented on by Orochimaru. Or the villain could be bluffing about he could feel no pain in order to get her to stop. Either way, she wasn't backing down. Not for anyone and especially not for him. "I'll give you one last chance before I burn a  new asshole for you." She paused a moment to let that sink in. If he was bluffing about feeling no pain, she was going to find out now. She moved her hand even closer to his face, now within a few inches from permeating his flesh. "What's it gon-" Nakara's words were cut off by another rumble. But this time, it wasn't so small. The ground shook beneath them, ripping upwards like the ground wished to rip their bodies in half. The sound of it was deafening. An ear-splitting 'CRACK!' filled the air of Konoha. Within just a few seconds, Nakara was in the air. Falling forwards toward her enemy. Her enflamed hand too close, pushing towards the man's face and pressing against his flesh. She drew back her hand from his face, trying to catch her balance. As the earth shook and within a few more seconds ripped the Hokage's mansion in half. Nakara and the anbu members being in one half. The intruder being scattered among the rubble below. Nakara infused chakra into the soles of her feet. Hanging on to the Kage's building that was left standing. Her feet gripped to the floor, until the rumbling had stopped and the damage had been done to her precious village and people. "BAKKU!!!" She screamed out, her main priority being his safety and her people's safety. She needed to know where he was at if he was still alive. With hearing no response after a precious few seconds, she turned toward the anbu members. "Take care of the intruder. If he is still alive, make sure he doesn't get away. We aren't through with him yet." Without another word, she brought her right thumb to her mouth. Piercing the skin layers with her teeth and drawing forth blood. She then placed her right hand against what was left of the wooden floor. "Summoning Jutsu!" She cried out. Watching as the Great Slug Nana appeared moments later. "Nana." Nakara stood up, brushing her Hokage coat off in the process. "I'm going to need your help. We have a lot of those injured out there." (´∀`) The great slug glanced around the village, taking note of the destruction. The torn buildings. People lying about in the streets, crushed by debris and earth. It was a horrific, almost apocalyptic scene. "Yes Lady Haruno." The slug nodded before splitting into several hundred slugs about the size of a parrot one could have on their shoulder. Each individual slug rushed off to find an injured person to heal them.(´∀`) Nakara didn't stop to watch Nana split into hundreths. She was now searching the village for any medical ninja to assist the injured. As well as healing anyone she saw in the process. Pouncing from building to building, street to street. Never staying too long in one place. φ(￣ー￣ )ノ

StevieSkies: [🍂]  He followed along silently with the ANBU and Lady Sixth. Interrogation was about to begin for the Kaguya boy, and it will be brutal. Nakara isn't a woman who holds anything back, so with her leading it would surely be a scary sight inside. Something was bother Bakku. The information he had learned from the Research Center was of great importance. "But Lady- " He tried to inform her as she entered the sealed room, but it was too late. He only had to hope nothing would happen to the village while the Hokage was occupied. Of course he'd be wrong. Bakku leaned up against the wall his hands behind his head and he relaxed with his gray eyes closed. A small breath of relaxation would escape from between his lips and he entered a state of peace. Though, he was slightly disrupted by a small rumbling sound. "Wow..she must be really letting him have it. " The Nara said with a small snicker, only one eye opened to glance around before returning to normal. Though, in the moment's passing, his peace, along with the peace of the village would be shattered. The large magnitude earthquake the Research Center had predicted had struck at the worst of times. The building was being split in half. His ears rung with the loud cry of Lady Sixth calling his name. He was floating on top of a piece of the wall, chakra flowing to his one foot as he clung onto the piece. He let out a small sigh before flipping off the wall towards Lady Sixth, landing softly next to her. " As I was saying..The Research Center reported a large magnitude 6.8 earthquake. One that can easily wreck buildings.." He said, feeling a bit disappointed he didn't have the chance to say so earlier. He watched as she summoned Nana, amazed at her ability to do so. "Woah.." He mumbled slightly. "What shall be our next course of action Lady Sixth?" [🍂]

JaeAre: The Hokage showing major bravado started moving her hand ever so close to his face again, as he would just stare at her eyes never losing sight to show her that she was not dealing with a normal suspect she could just rough up and get her way with.  She would begin to speak.... but before she could even hit the second syllable of the second word she was cut off, as a huge crack permeated the air like ten bolts of lightning had struck from the sky at once to create such an impact.  Before they could even take in the loud, ear deafening sound the ground beneath their feet would rip up as if it were trying to drag them to the fictional underworld with a vengeance, leaving the Hokage off balance flame still on the tip her finger she would fall on to Ban as the flame would instant touch his face. Once it had made contact the skin in the middle of face, more specifically his nose area, looked like an old cathedral candle melting away at an altar.  That did not bother Ban as he felt the Hokage push off of him and take a backwards jump towards the other half of the Hokage building that still stand somewhat upright two Jounin at her side. Ban, still bound to the wall would soon be in what some would consider trouble, as he felt his side of the building start to crumble from the foundation as it started to sway slightly as it collapsed freeing Ban of his bindings as the wall behind him cracked and started its descent towards the ground. Seeing as Ban and the Hokage were at the top of the Hokage's building at the speeds he would be traveling down would leave him with about fifteen seconds to react. In that fifteen second time window he would do as he did when he was initially captured, form a skeletal membrane right underneath his skin at the hardness of titanium to absorb the impact of his fall and anything that would land on top of his body to protect him from being a mangled messy corpse. Falling with his eyes closed and a smile of his face he would finally hit the ground  and be covered by the debris that came soon after his descent to the hard ground. Not but maybe 4 seconds after impact and being buried by what was once half of the Hokage's building his would punch his hand through the top of the debris pile like a zombie escaping it's eternal slumber from the graveyard. Young Ban would pull himself out of the rubble skin torn leaving muscles and bone visible around his rib cage, back, shoulders, and especially his face. The right side of his mouth was totally exposed... the skin was completely torn leaving about ten of his teeth from his bottom and top rows visible... not to mention his nose was completely burnt off due to the Hokage's finger tip flame.  He would kneel on one knee as he brushed himself off still mostly covered in powered rubble as he looked in a puddle on the ground. He would see what he felt he had become on the inside, a monster and an evil human being. He started to weep slightly thinking of his parent's and how they kept him away from his clan, as he had become everything they had protected and even died to try and prevent this transformation in to such an evil being of flesh. He would focus his to flow through his body regenerating his skin and muscle tissue within two minutes. He would glance one more into the puddle at his normal self as a tear would drop into the small puddle as he would punch down into it cracking the ground making the water fly everywhere, as even though he had seen himself regenerated... he still the monstrosity that was still living within. He would look up at the Hokage building as he could faintly hear the Hokage telling the two shinobi at her side "Make sure he does not escape out interrogation is not over". He knew he would have to move in a swift manor. He would conjure a bone clone by altering his calcium output tenfold causing the clone to protrude from his body in a grotesque fashion. Making it lay near the rubble pile to at least give him enough of a head start to throw the leaf shinobi off his tail to make a final run back to Otogakure. Clone in place he began running through the ruins of Konoha bodies laying everywhere helpless as most of the building were barely standing, starting to fall, or already in pieces of rubble laying on the ground.  He would finally weave his way through the village to reach the eastern most wall, focusing chakra into the soles of his feet he would run up one of the only remnants of Konoha that still stood. Reaching the top he would take a graceful jump and dive like a graceful swan into the clearing of trees never looking back as he would run through the forest of fallen trees to report back to Lord Orochimaru of the natural disaster that had consumed Konoha.

Necrose:-Toki sat in his chair his chin resting on the palms of his hands as his elbows laid on the table propping his head up. A yawn escaped his mouth as he read over the jutsu scroll his eye lids getting heavy and starting to fall. As his eyelids feel and his chin began to slip of the palms of his hands the gorund under him began to move. The ground under him rippled like the surface of a pond after a rock had been thrown in. He was flung back wards from his chair, the sudden movement shaking him awake. As he feel to the floor he realized what was happening, "Earthquake." he thought to himself as his body hit the floor and rolled backwards. Once hitting the floor and comimg to a stop he felt something hit the top of his head, looking up he noticed small pieces of the roof falling down. Fearing the whole building was gonna collapse he got to his feet as quickly as he could, as he stood his body began to flicker as though it was a light being turned on and off quickly, due to his Body Flicker Technique. He reappeared next to the old woman who worked the front desk of the Library and wrapped his arms around her waist then began to flicker again completely dissappearing from the area. As the building starts to collapse Toki and the woman reappear outside of the Library seeming to barely make it out. "Shit, I hope noone else was in there!" Toki exclaimed as his feet hit the ground. He placed the woman sitting on the ground making sure she was ok. "What should I do?" He thought to himself as he looked at the now crumbled building. The thought of his fmaily quickly came to his mind then he shook his head, "I'm sure they are fine, my duty as a Shinobi comes first." he said to himself. He ran off after checking again if the old woman was alright checking surrounding villages for other villagers in need of help.-

BaransuKenzai:Although lagi had stepped into a restaurant for few hours when he left he could be seen carrying a small package. The earthquake that shook the earth beneath his very feet during his lifting session made Lagi a bit unsettling as he felt there was more to it then some simple natural phenomenon, but that was for another time. In the wake of his visit his father was there who in turn delivered that same small package he could be seen leaving with joined paying a visit to one of the restaurants in konoha when he was inside he. Once he took his leave he could be seen making his way onto the rooftops of konoha only to unpack his gift and find a pair of weighted gloves. Each glove donned a metal plate on the back along with a basic sealing formula, which currently wasn't attached to any particular item. As a few moments went by Lagi would begin about his way and begin heading towards the Kage’s office.

Sublucia:Hearing his chuckle he shook her hand, “Kaiko Hatake… I’ll be sure to remember you. Who knows when you can save another from the easter bunny. Don’t worry I’ll make sure I tie the rope before I swing” she laughed scratching the back of her head. Watching his movement he pulled out a couple of herbs, Handing it to her. Hearing his words she watched him walk off, putting them away she smiled “Pain demands to be felt.” Standing on the side roof of the Hokages office, she looked out into the vast scape of the village smiling. “I wonder were my brother is…” she wondered to herself, About to jump off the roof she stopped and started to feel the building beneath her start to rumble. Immediately she knew that it was “EARTHQUAKE!!!”, It only took seconds for the buildings roof to crack and crumble. Everything was so sudden it was like everything was in slow motion… All she could think off was “that guy went into the building… OH NO!” Like nothing pieces of building snapped into the air and the building began to crash to the Earth. Misaki had to act quick before she would get caught it all the falling buildings and rubble. Looking around It seemed that a building beside was about to crash down, “thats it!” Concentrating Chakra into her feet she breathed out softly, relaxing her muscles before she launched herself onto a building on the left of the Hokages office. Once her feet touched the buildings side surface, she ran up with all her might… Pieces of the building began to fall in her direction making her dodge countless times until she reached the rooftop. Standing there she could see her beautiful village crumble to pieces in front of her eyes. Her eyes began to water, she was stuck… Frozen in time. All she could think of was her brothers whereabouts… Was he safe?? What if he was caught in rubble? Her heart began to clench at the thought… Misaki was so blind in thoughts she lost her balance as the building she stood on was beginning to fall the ground. Fighting to regain balance she slid down the roof of the building, It was like she could see her own death. But just as she was about to fall off the edge she grabbed onto a roof tile. “NŌZAN!!!!” She screamed for her dear life, trying to climb up the falling building. Tile after tile she looked around, tears flowed down her cheeks. A memory of her, Nōzan and Toki hanging out together… It was one of the best days of her life. All she could think was… ‘would this be my last image of them… I CAN’T DIE NOW! I HAVE GOALS! Please… Nōzan come save me…” She continued to climb until she reached the top holding on tightly, hoping he would find her and help.

DivineZiel: -After a while when Misaki and Nōzan both met back up after they went around on their own, Nōzan was handed a military type necklace that had a saying on the back of it which he then began to hold dearly at that point. Not even hours later when Misaki went to train, Nōzan found himself going back home to show Jehberjerack his new home, that was until the earth began to shake and stir, the sounds of people crying in fear and panic rang through the streets. Quickly looking over to Pinku and her assistant, he said "I have to go find Misaki, get into the shelter, I'll be back in a bit!" Directly after Nōzan said that, he ran out the opened door to his home. As he began to run through the streets of Konoha, shoulder checking villagers that ran in panic, he thought to himself "Misaki! Where are you!?" As he thought of that, he then noticed small buildings were caving in, pieces of buildings were falling apart but that was until he saw a little girl merely standing next to a building, crying for her mom and dad. From the top of his eyes, he saw a piece of debris beginning to fall towards the small being. In an instant, Nōzan ran towards the girl and picked her up, continuing to run while the debris crashed into the ground. Hearing a crying mother yell out "My baby!" as she held her hands out, Nōzan ran towards her and swiftly handed the little one to her and continued his way. Almost about to scream outloud for Misaki, he heard her cry once he got closer to the Hokage building which was rumbling with everything else. Looking to his right and up, he saw her holding onto roof tiles just to keep herself from falling. Yelling out quickly while he ran towards her "I'M COMING, JUST HOLD ON!" At that point, Nōzan concentrated chakra into his feet once he jumped, forcing his feet to plant against a building across from her. Pushing himself up once against, he leaped to falling debris with his chakra still focused until he made it to the where she was and quickly grabbed her hand, pulling her up and into his arms. Beginning to cradle her, he then felt the building falling more as he then lost grip and control of his chakra. As the two began to fall, Nōzan then said "I got you.." In a calm voice to Misaki as he gave her a small smile. In an instant after he gave her that very small, the chokuto laying across his lower back began to break apart into cherry blossom blade fragments. Controlling them with his mind alone, he made a bed small cloud of them while the tiny blades pierced his back but not too deep. Nōzan winced to the pain but kept it going until they were only a foot from the ground. Once they were, he had them push his body up while he kept her in his arms and landed on his feet. Suddenly his chokuto began to put itself back together at the seems where it was before. The reason for this happening was Nōzan's Kekkei Genkai, Senbonzakura. Quickly dashing to the side where there seemed to be nothing falling towards that general direction for now, he set Misaki down on her feet and asked "Are you okay?" The necklace dangled from his neck while he placed his hands on her shoulders, wondering if she was, the small holes in his back began to seep tiny streams of blood that ran down the jacket and his skin.-

Kaiiaki: ＿φ(￣ー￣ )"So much destruction..." Nakara spoke out. It was all around her. The wounded. The dead. The demolition. It was almost overbearing. Especially the cries of the injured. Moans of agony pierced her eardrum like a spike impaling through her ears. That was the worst part of it. The screaming, the crying, and the moans. Almost like the dead and dying were crying out to just Nakara alone. Begging her to save all of them at once. Even if one stayed in one place, the sound was overwhelming. Jumping from building to building along with Bakku behind her. Something needed to happen. And it needed to happen now. Nakara signaled over to Bakku. Motioning for him to stop. Her own feet gracefully coming to a rest on a nearby tile of a rooftop. "Here is what our next course of action will be. Go around and recruit any Jounin you find to go and rescue those trapped in their houses and under debris. Recruit any chunin to escort the moderately and severely injured into the hospital. Recruit any genin to account for the dead and to set up a temporary shelter for the homeless. Any genin medic is to heal the minor injuries." I will be making the ground stable with any earth users I can find. Now go!" As soon as Nakara gave the order, she sat upon the tile of the rooftop. Once again crossing her legs into the familiar position. The pointer and middle finger pointed upwards towards the sky, while the rest of the fingers curled into a circle. Nakara's other hand lay stretched upon lap. As soon as she was in position, she felt all muscles within her body relax. Her mind took a precious moment in tuning out all the screams and cries for help. This will only help them more Nakara had to keep thinking to herself. Until she finally convinced her mind to settle into a blank state. In order to gather Nature Energy into her body. Being an incomplete Sage, she didn't have the talent to gather into Sage Mode at a moment's notice. It would take her a few precious moments to gather her chakra together, and mix it properly with the Nature Chakra. Nakara stayed still. Gathering the chakra within her system. She needed the speed and chakra sensory of Sage Mode to find those Earth Users. She could also help more with the strength of Sage Mode to lift small buildings without breaking a sweat. φ(￣ー￣ )ノ

StevieSkies: [🍂] The duo was on the move, jumping roof to roof. His grayscale eyes glanced around at the chaos caused. Such irony to have struck on such a hectic day in the Hidden Leaf. Bakku though about his father and sister in the Nara Clan residence, but knew that he'd have to serve the village first over family specifically. He'd notice Nakara start to slow down and would do the same, his getas skipping across the roof, making an uncomfortable noise. The great slug Nana was already out preforming healings on the general public, but that wouldn't be enough to ensure safety. He listened closely to her as she explained what to do. He nodded only needing to hear it once in order to remember it. It was a perk of having such a sharp memory. He flipped off the roof onto the tattered street and gave a look around. He noticed a group right by where he was. He rushed over to them and gave the two young genin a look of importance. "Hm, you two have very important roles to fill. I need you both to take care of your families and get them to the shelters as soon as possible. Then I need you to do the same with other families within the village. It's a very important role that I need you and the other genin to fill, I'm sure you both can do it." He'd say offering a light smile to them. Bakku knew that this had to be hard for everyone, but especially the young. He'd quickly give them a small nod and continue of his path towards the rest of the village. He'd use his Sensory Jutsu to head towards larger sources of chakra. Jonin were playing their roles nicely, as he could see that they were escorting and rescuing, while Chunin followed by guiding people to the Medical Clinics. He then noticed a genin heading towards the Hokage building. The boy was going rooftop to rooftop, but there was something bugging Bakku about it. He was starting to head his direction when he saw a small rockslide about to fall on him. Stepping into action, Bakku leaped in front on him and slammed his hands on the ground. "Earth Style: Rock Shelter!" He'd call out as the ground raised up like a half dome, protecting the two from the blast of rocks and debris. Bakku would kneel down and look at the child. "You alright?" [🍂]

Necrose: -Toki moved from roof top to roof top scanning the area for people in need as he made his way towards the Hokage's office building. He failed to pay attention to rocky areas of the village, unknown to him a rock slide was making it's way down on him when suddenly a man appeared ahead of him. Toki quickly placed one of his legs forward twisting his body sideways, his butt falling onto the ground as he pushed the foot onto the ground begining to come to a sliding stop a small trail of dust thrown up from the ground behind him as he almost collided with the man hearing his words as a half dome of earth surrounded him stopping the falling rocks from crushing him. He stood up and and dusted off his rear looking to the man. "I'm fine." he said answering his question,"I was too worried about others to think of looking out for my self." He brung his hand up to his face swatting it back and fourth fanning dust from the rocks impact away from his face. As he stood near the man he looked around the village noticing the destruction letting out a sigh and speaking. "I didn't notice things were this bad." he said towards the man. He knew the man close to the Hokage so he waiting around hoping the Hokage had given him instructions for the Shinobi of the village.-

BaransuKenzai: In those same moments Lagi found himself making his way towards the Hokages office. He was in turn met with a set of orders from lady sixth herself. Some of those same buildings that once stood tall were left in ruins from the earthquake that found itself shaking the very foundation of konoha itself. As time went on and Lagi scoured the ruins he’d begin helping some of the elderly to the near by shelters in turn securing their safety. He’d soon form the tiger hand seal and send a series of 3 water clones out to do the same. The chains of buildings that consisted of restaurants were key locations and the same could be said for the market places. The clones began to fan out gathering up women and children delivering them to the shelters. Any buildings that found themselves on fire would be put out with the use any burst water mains and with that these fires would find themselves doused with ease. Lagi came to a roof top of one of the taller buildings that managed to withstand the aggressive shaking that had taken place hoping to spot any other genin that had been taking up these same endeavors.

Sublucia: After screaming out for Nōzan it wasn’t long before he found her, “I’M COMING, JUST HOLD ON!” his voice filled her ears. Holding on tightly she felt her fingers slipping off the tiles making her heart skip a beat. But just before she lost her grip, he grabbed her hand and pulled up up into his strong arms. Almost numb from how scared she was, she was cradled in his arms looking straight up at him with thankful eyes. “Thank God… You’re okay…” she whispered leaning her head on his chest, closing her eyes. Almost immediately after she snapped her eyes open again feeling like he lost balance, but she relaxed when she heard his calm words. Soon enough he brought her down to safety and asked her if she was okay. “Yeah I think so… Just a bit shaken up I guess” she looked down at her shaken hands from holding on to the roof tiles for too long. Hugging him tightly she felt his back was wet, looking his back was bloody… “OMG ARE YOU OKAY??” she looked at the wounds. Worried she looked over them and took out a hand sized towel and began dabbing off the blood, being as gentle as possible. Hearing footsteps she looked to see a Jonin heading in their direction, giving them specific instructions on how to help. Nodding she turned to Nōzan and handed him the towel just in case, “You should get those healed… I have to check on Ms. Haruko, she lives on her own in the flower shop. If you see Toki tell him I’m okay.” Misaki sounded worried for the elderly women. With that Misaki Jetted off in the direction of the old ladies flower shop, she’s always been like a grandmother to Misaki. Growing up, Misaki would always be in her shop helping her and she’d spoil her with her favourite white roses. Sometimes she’d even give Misaki advice and be the one to comfort her when she was sad. They truly were like Grandma and Granddaughter… a great pare that shared laughs and tears. Something in Misaki’s heart knew something wasn’t right… Like she knew and felt that Toki was most likely still alive. However when she’d think about Ms. Haruko her stomach would curl. “Oh please… Not her, Please let her be alive” Misaki, looked about making a few stops to help people to safer areas, but quickly went back on the way to the flower shop. Once she arrived, her heart stopped… It looked like half the roof of the flower shop had come down from the earthquake. She ran towards the shop looking for an entrance or signs of life, stopping she turned to her left and saw little hole big enough for her to crawl into the shop to see what was there. Doing so she crawled her tiny body into the small entrance, making it into the shop. It was so dusty she began to cough slightly… it was so dark but thank god she knew this place inside out, so she made her way to a closet a metre away from where she stood and felt her way to the nob of the door grabbing a candle and some matches. Lighting the darn thing she started looking around and stopped in her tracks at a horrifying scene. “HARUKO!!” She cried and ran to her, the old lady had a large block of heavyy roof on top of her. All you could see was her head, everything else was under heavy rubble. “Don’t worry! I’m going to get you out of here!!” Misaki fought to conceal her tears. “No child… I’m going to die here, I can barely breath… I can feel the weight crushing my chest. I need you to listen to me” the Old ladies words were low but clear. Mistake refused to let her die and tried to lift the heavy blocks of roof… Sadly being too heavy for just her, “No! I-I can’t leave you here!!!” She fell to her knees letting the tears fall to the dusty floors. “Misaki, You have been more of a friend to me then most friends I’ve known in my entire life… I consider you my daughter. Please do not be sad, in turn I want you to walk out of here the strong girl I know you are… Continue to train because believe me, you will be one of the best Kunochi’s Konoha has ever seen. Maybe not only for your strength but because of your big heart. I leave the flower shop and all my belongings to you… My will is in my office. Misaki, don’t let anyone stop you from living your dreams… I love you Misaki…” Her voice slowly faded with her wisdom. Sitting in front of her dead corpse for about 5 minutes, her eyes widened and her heart broke. Before she could let out more tears… she let out a scream the echoed throughout the streets of Konoha. “NO!!!! HARUKO NO!!!! PLEASE WAKE UP” she ran her tiny hands through her short grey hair letting her tears create a puddle from beneath her. Closing her eyes she stopped crying, there was complete silence in the destroyed flower shop. Something else was awakening in her… something much bigger then she had hopped for. Slowly opening her eyes, there was a flash of red. Misaki had just unlocked her sharingan, standing she looked over her dead friend and pulled both of her hands up then smashing them into the roof that held her down. Within seconds its broken into multiple pieces… Just enough for Misaki to pull her out of the flower shop. Doing so she let her down in front of the shop and hugged her to her chest letting tears fall from her new eyes. She was crumbling, the sadness she felt was traumatizing. Kissing her forehead, Misaki stood and started to walk in the direction of her home to make sure her parents were fine, looking almost zombie like. Arriving her parents ran out and hugged her… looking up her house had minor damages like the roof breaking apart, since it was further from the main villages striking point. “OMG MISAKI!!” Her mother hugged her tightly not noticing her new eyes… However Her father noticed right away. “WHERE’S YOUR BROTHER!” Her father yelled thinking he was the one who unlocked her eyes. “I dunno… I think he’s okay… Haruko Dead mommy…” her voice was getting weaker before she fainted in her mothers arms.

DivineZiel: -Once Nōzan set Misaki down and heard that she was okay, he hugged her back while she heard her begin to worry about his back and start to dab at the wounds with a hand towel. Looking off to his side, seeing the Jonin coming towards them and speak about instructions on what to do, Nōzan then sighed while he heard Misaki's words that came afterwards. Being handed the bloody towel, he then watched her run off while he looked down to the towel and sighed softly, turning towards the same area Misaki was heading. Beginning to walk slowly, he then threw the towel off to the side and let the blood seep from the wounds as he then began to walk down the road. Complications in his mind began to rise forward with no warning as he then lifted his right hand slightly and cracked the middle knuckle to his middle finger, then instantly, Nōzan planted his feet and darted off. The tea house was his first destination to make sure Roku was alright. Little time passed by the time he actually got there and noticed that the entrance was fine but the inside was a wreck. Running inside, there was a piece of debris in the way that slanted up. Jumping only in a perfect amount of time and at a good height, he planted his hand against the top of it and swung his legs around the right side, only to land on the other side, perfectly on his feet. Looking around, he heard a cry for help and then went off to see it. Nōzan came about the backroom where all of the herbs were held for the tea and multiple other things as he saw Roku laying on the ground, crushed at the legs by a chunk of rubble on top of her. Seeing the seen, his eyes widened while he walked over to her and squatted down. Roku then smiled up to him while she said "You were always my favorite customer, Nōzan and for that, I-" She paused while she coughed up a bit of blood onto a small box in front of her and pushed it towards him "I want you to have this and only ask you for two more things.." Nōzan listened while he grabbed the blood covered box while Roku said "I know I've asked you for a-a lot since we met bu-but that's because I felt like I could cou-count on you." Looking down to her, Nōzan then went to speak but let Roku do so while she continued "First thing..please..rebuild this tea house and make it in your eyes..let it live on.." Nodding slightly, his eyes began to water but did not let out any tears while she said "Second thing..I'm not going to ma-make it out of h-here..This last favor..I ask of you..is something I can only count o-on you for.." Nōzan didn't feel right but kept listening "I-I want you to end my pain, Nōzan..please.." Hearing her words, he began to shake his head while he said "No Roku, I can get yo-" She stopped him and begged "Kill me now, Nōzan! Please! End my pa-" She coughed up more blood onto the ground "pain.." Knowing that she was serious..he then set the box down and said "If that is what you wish.." After saying so, Nōzan turned and plopped his ass near her shoulder and wrapped his arm around her neck. In a final moment, Roku said "T-thank you for everything..Nōzan.." Right after she said it, she placed a smile upon her lips and Nōzan squeezed his arm and turned it quickly to the right, snapping her neck and ending her life in an instant. A single tear then slowly slid down his cheek, down to his chin, letting it drip into her long blonde hair. Pushing himself up, he then picked the box up and opened it slightly to see a couple of notes inside. Pulling them out, there was a will and the deed to the tea house while under it were black tea leaves. Looking down to her, Nōzan then began to walk out of the backroom and jumped over the large rock in the way until he exited the shop. Looking towards the side, he saw Misaki walking but it didn't seem like her as he then let it go, figuring it was something she had to do but he felt a bit uneasy by it. Clasping the box tightly in his hand after he put the papers back in and closed it, he then darted off to his home where Pinku, her assistant and Jehberjerack were. Once he returned home, he noticed that most of the house was collapsed and broken. Jehberjerack then meowed as it hopped up on a large chunk of wood and swayed its tail then turned away and jumped back down to the floor. Nōzan shook his head as he said "No.." With that, Nōzan ran over and jumped over the wood, only to see Pinku impaled through the stomach and her assistant crushed. Blood ran along the floor while he walked over to Pinku's body, only to drop to his knees, letting the blood splash a bit. Bending down, he grabbed the sleeves to her kimono and laid his head on her chest while he continued to say "No..no..no.." Tears now flooding from his eyes, Nōzan felt broken. Rocking back and forth on his knees, still holding onto her and crying, his voice became louder "No, no no no no NO NO NO!" Pushing himself up, he grabbed ahold on the thick piece of wood that was through Pinku's stomach and pulled. Not even making a dent in it, his tears kept rolling out while he then let his chokuto turn into cherry blossom blade fragments. As they did, he had then cut away most of the wood in an instant as he picked Pinku's body up, cradling her close as he took her outside. The cherry blossoms still stayed as he then let them all drop down around him and Pinku's body while he dropped to his knees again. Holding his great grandmother close, he said quietly "Please don't go on me..it's not time..please, Pinku..please.." Rocking back and forth while the cherry blossoms glistened from the metal they really were as he said "Mom..please..I have nobody like you left..you were there for me..you were always there.." Not even a single sound from the area around him stopped him as he then realized she was gone. Laying her body down on the ground, he then kept crying as he began to make handseals starting with Horse while it then went to Monkey then, Snake then, Boar. As he did so, the amount of cherry blossom blade fragments around him multiplied, shortening their blades. Doing the same handseals about three more times, he was using Cherry Blossom Multiplication numerous times to only lower down the damage the metal would do while he then stopped and had the now, non sharp cherry blossoms slither under Pinku's body and around her as they lifted her up. Pushing his body to stand, he then let one last tear fall as he then began to walk out of the space of which was his home. Looking over to Jehberjerack, he said "You can follow or stay here, either way, you'll be safe. With that, Nōzan bent his right wrist backwards as he unsealed his second chokuto, holding it in his hand, he then began to run towards where he heard cries. The cherry blossoms carrying Pinku's body stayed behind him while he ran and added a cover over the whole body, much like a coffin made of cherry blossoms. Diving into the danger of this earthquake, he went on to help numerous villagers get to a safe shelter, all while holding his great grandmother behind him, making sure to keep the body saved for burial. Having a good thought that Misaki was fine, at least physically. Pushing himself to continue helping, he ran along the streets of Konoha, helping anybody he could.-

CadetHipster: Akemi was still reading her book now about to finish her meal, Just as she was about to finish her meal when she heard people screaming in pain, Akemi ran outside to see the village now destroyed and villagers in pain. Akemi ran back into the building and grabbed the owner and chef by the wrists now pulling them into another building and checking them over for injuries she could heal. "S-Stay here" Spoke Akemi now running back out and noticing how the Ramen building had now been crushed and was now a pile of rubber and wood. Akemi sighed and pulled her hair up into a ponytail now walking around and finding people she could help. "HELP ME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD" Yelled a villager now screaming as they were trying to get away from a building. Akemi ran to them and looked at them noticing they had a few broken bones, Now grabbing there arms and waist she moved them into the make shift shelter from another old building. She let the villager sit down now checking on their wounds. "Ok so this might hurt" Spoke Akemi now handing the villager a peice of wood to bite on while she prepared a make-shift splint now setting it in place and snapping the leg bone into place and putting the make-shift splint in place. "AHHHHHHG" Was all Akemi heard and then it was silence, The villager had passed out. Akemi left the villager in the hands of the Ramen shop owner and chef. "Keep him alive" Spoke Akemi now running back out and stopping as she heard someone run around talking about orders from the Hokage. Akemi noted that she would have to account for the dead and help those with minor injuries. Akemi walked through the houses that seemed safe for now jotting down on the back of her book the names of those she knew who had passed on. Akemi gulped as she walked into the houses looking at the trashed houses and the families on the floor in either pain or dead. Akemi had managed to save a few but she had to keep them where they were due to her not being able to bring them to the make-shift shelter she found all by herself. Akemi stopped outside a house and turned around to see a family mourning the death of a relative, Akemi gulped and walked closer now looking down at her feet but managing to catch their attention. "S-Sorry for your lost, M-May i know her name for the records" Spoke Akemi now looking up and seeing the family wipe tears and give her the name. Akemi nodded and ran off putting the name down on her book. Akemi had stopped at an abandoned building feeling tired and drowzy, she had managed to get hurt without knowing. Akemi looked down at her legs and noticed her left one was now swollen and her right arm looked a little broken and she had a few slashes on her back from the crumbling buildings she walked through. Akemi went to stand up but hissed at the pain in her leg and arm, she fell back down now accepting that she was harmed. She sighed and looked into the sky smiling. "Mother, Father. I think today is the day i either make you proud of me or i make you mad" After saying this Akemi stood up and walked a few steps before she fell to the floor and the darkness had consumed her. Akemi layed face first on the floor of a crumbling building.

Kaiiaki: ＿φ(￣ー￣ ) Like a match igniting into a sudden flame. Nakara's eyes burst open. Now showing the color of pupiless aquamarine eyes. Piercing eyes full of power, revealing a firey soul within. "It's time..." Nakara pounced across the village searching high and low for the earth users of the village. She knew Bakku was one of them. So he would have to meet up with her after delivering her orders throughout the village. She stopped but only the few seconds it took to her to tell each earth user of any rank to meet her in the heart of the village; Main Street. The street that led up to what was now left of the Hokage's Mansion. When she had successfully rounded up all the Earth Release Users across the village, she gathered in front of her small army of about 14 in all. "Alright o-" Before Nakara could get signal the earth users to stabalize the ground. She saw a nearby building collapsing right beside of her. The door was open. Upon the ground lay a young girl, it looked to be as if it was a red-haired genin. "Not this one...she's still breathing" Nakara at once sped off in the direction of the genin. Flitting inside the building at the speed of blurred eyesight. "HOLD ON!" Nakara screamed out, picking up the girl and cradling her within her arms. Like a precious treasure she could not bear to lose. This girl was a ninja of Konoha, her legacy. The village's true king. Nakara flitted out of the crumbling building just as soon as she had entered it. Landing upon the ground outside of the dying building. Safely. She adjusted the girl's almost motionless body within her left arm. Holding her safely from harm. "EARTH USERS! NOW!" Nakara yelled through the village. Nakara placed her right palm against the ground. Pumping her chakra through it, combining it along with the other Earth users. She mixed it into the cracked areas of the ground.Pushing it with all her might to fill earth into all the unstable areas. Mostly off towards the northern region of the village where the Earthquake first occured. Although she could sense that something was off about a spot about 200 feet to the north in the forest. It would need to be checked out once the village was stabilized. Nakara contiued to pump her chakra throughout the ground. Aiding her chakra for a good 15 minutes. Making sure that every weak spot was covered, before she took a deep breath. Exhaling slowly, speaking the words, "It is done now." She lifted her right hand up from the ground. Smiling at her small army as they slapped each other on the back. Cheering as they had just won a major battle. Their joyous cries almost covering the sound of cries for help. "Long live Lady Sixth!" The ninja cried out with victory on their lips. Praising her and her Great Slug Nana. "Nakara kneeled upon the ground, placing the young girl in front of her gently. As to not jostle her and cause any more possible injuries. "What were you thinking..." Nakara whispered softly. Even though it looked as if the girl was still unconcious and most likely couldn't hear her. Her hands flipped the handsigns: Ox → Tiger. "Mystical Palm Technique." Upon doing this, Nakara moved a moderate amount of chakra throughout her chakra system. Flowing it out through her hands. Immediately, a burst of mint-green color appeared from Nakara's hands. Glowing with a soft light, illuminating her hands. Signifying the jutsu was ready to use against the poor girl's injuries. She quickly did a scan over the body to make sure there were no internal injuries. However, the problem seemed to be a broken bone in her right arm and a few slashes upon her back. "She must have passed out from the pain." Nakara shook her head back and forth before getting into a totally concentrated mode. The moderate amount of chakra would do at this point. They were only moderate injuries. And it was important to match the amount of chakra to the degree of injury. Nakara closed her eyes, now concentrating on speeding up the genin's natural healing process. The first thing she did, was focus on healing up the scratches upon the girl's back. Closing them over by encouraging Platelets and Fibrinogin to the site of injury. Causing her blood to clot enough to the point where the wounds would scab over. Next, she would focus on the broken bone. She gently accelerated the girl's heart rate, moving her heart rate up to the maximal normal rate of a Human Heart, 100 BPM. This would force blood to be pumped throughout her system faster. Speeding up the process of general acceleration. Nakara now concentrated her chakra upon the actual bone portion now. Focusing on pushing osteoblasts to mature into osteocytes. Builiding up the membrane within the bone, up to the Diaphysis, and finally the Epiphysis. Covering the split within the bone, and forming an outer layer. Originally bigger than the first. With the ossification process completed in over 10x the normal speed, Nakara was at her limit with how she could help the injury. It would be shakey for a week but at least it would be usable. φ(￣ー￣ )ノ

CadetHipster: Akemi couldnt hear a thing or see a thing, She only saw darkness and the images of her father rushing through her head. "Im sorry i failed you dad" Spoke Akemi in a whisper. She was about to let the darkness consume her when she heard the building around her crumbling. Akemi tried to move but she couldnt feel anything. She thought she was dead for a moment until she heard someone scream at her. Akemi couldnt make out the words or who was speaking them all she knew was that the person was female. As Akemi was letting the darkness consume her mind and body she felt a surge of energy rush through her, She felt her bones and scratches become fixed and patched up. She felt her blood rush through her body so fast. She knew only one person who could do this kind of medical technique. "H-Hokage?" Whispers Akemi now opening her eyes and trying to sit up but falling back to the ground. Akemi let out a little hiss as she felt her back hit the floor. "D-Did we win?" Questioned Akemi now smiling and looking up at her Hokage. "I-I M-Managed to save some people. T-There in the shelter i found by the old ramen shop. A-Are they alright? I need to see if they made it." Spoke Akemi now trying her best to stand up and not look weak in front of her Hokage and inspiration. Akemi managed to sit up but not stand. Her arms were weak, her whole body felt like it was being weighed down by a ton of bricks. "T-Thank you for saving me" Spoke Akemi now looking at her Hokage and smiling. "Long live Lady Sixth" As Akemi said this she smiled a genuine smile towards the Hokage and her inspiration for her training and for her medical training.

BaransuKenzai: Lagi’s clones had taken up their orders and had done just that. They’d soon begin using some of the lesser-tattered tarps that were apart of some of Konoha’s vendors and began to setup several nearby tents and with that they had dispersed. If one were to be in the same position Lagi was in they’d find that the tents his clones began to setup were be used to tend the injured citizens who couldn’t be moved to a hospital right away. In passing those tents would soon be filled to brim with bed padding and medical ninja. Lagi simply let out a sigh as he could see a young man who’d been carrying a coffin at a distance it didn’t stand out much but Lagi would decide to investigate a bit more. After a couple of seconds he made his way down the side of the building only to make his way to that same young man he had his eye on. The moment this happened Lagi wouldn't bother to speak yet he’d tilt his head and attempt to make eye contact with the young man giving him the ‘Well what is it’ expression.

HikaruAkumuRyu: -As Yuri read more of the book She began to make her way towards the lady at the main desk of the library in order to confirm that she was talking the book she held in her hands with her. “I’ll take this one” She said to the lady who nodded as she wrote on a note pad which confirmed Yuri permission to take the book with her. “Bring it back in a week” The lady said to Yuri who did not say a word but nodded as she made her way out from the library. Yuri really didn’t paid much attention to her surroundings since she was so focus on what was said in the book she held, Suddenly she bumped into a few people who yell at her to watch where she was going. “My apologies” She said with a polite bow to the people she bumped into then went on her way towards a more nice quiet place within the Konoha itself. “Now where should I go to read this?” Yuri mumbled as she looked around and wondered what place would be suitable for her to read the book. After a moment of thinking she felt a rumble beneath her feet, Her eyes would widened as she was a bit surprise that an earthquake was happening before her. “Earthquake? Great just what I need..” She mumbled, Feeling slightly annoyed that what was going on. After several moments she notice a falling building about to fall down towards her so she made a quick run for it, Going through an ally way which no one else could go through but her since she was rather small. ”Good to be small” She said as she tried to catch her breath for a moment, Soon after she continued walking towards the other side of the ally way.-

Sublucia: Opening her eyes slowly, Misaki set her eyes on the sky. Still numb from her fainting, Misaki had forgotten what happened… But as soon as she sat up and noticed she was on her front lawn. “MISAKI!!” Her mother yelled and ran up to her. “Mom? What happened??” Misaki began to rub her eyes as she looked upon her mother. “I guess you were really traumatized…” her mother spoke and moved out of her way to show her the neighbourhood. Confused Misaki looked upon the neighbourhood she lived in… Snapping back into reality almost instantly she saw mostly all that houses were destroyed. She remembered everything… Nōzan saving her, the death of Haruko, unlocking her sharingan and making it back home with all the pain in her heart. However it hit her harder this time, because now her mind registered grief and loss. Having her eyes water, her mother hugged her tightly. “No… I’m not going to cry…” She whispered holding in the heart breaking pain. “Hunny… You should relax please. You seem overwhelmed” her mother insisted but Misaki shook her head. “There are millions of villagers stuck beneath homes and buildings. I’m going to save as many I can, I don’t intend to sit and do nothing” Misaki sounded serious… almost cold. She didn’t know what to feel at the moment, her village was basically destroyed and she lost someone dear to her. “I’ll be home late…” Misaki mumbled before taking off to multiple houses, pulling people out of the rubble and to the medics if they were alive. Also helping children bandaging their small wounds so they weren’t infected, Once more help arrived Misaki left towards the city in hopes of crossing with Nōzan… But in the meantime helped people to shelters making sure they were healed and taken care of. Be surrounded by death it was beginning to down on her… So much crying, screaming it was a lot to handle. Sneaking away she ran to the training fields that seemed pretty empty since everyone was out helping. Making sure she was alone, she leaned herself against a tree letting her tears come out. She hated to be soft but really she couldn't hold it in anymore… Reaching back she grabbed her battle axe and pulled it off. Holding it tightly in her hands, closing her eyes she opened them to her new sharingan eyes and turned to face the tree she leaned on. Filled with anger she began hitting the tree multiple times without stopping… having tears flow down her eyes.

DivineZiel: -The cries Nōzan heard from all around him while he helped the non hurt victims of the earthquake to the shelters around the village, guiding them to the other genin he could find to take them. He then began to count up the amount he saw dead from earlier up until now. Still running through the village, he then felt the ground stop shaking which gave a little more ease to the situation. The yells of the sixth Hokage living on coming from around the corner, Nōzan then stopped his running while he looked behind him at the floating cherry blossom coffin as he then sighed and turned his back to it. Starting to think more of everything, he then started running again, gathering the up the injured one by one and making his way to the medical tents that were being set up. As he did so, he didn't stop. One after the other, begging for help as he picked them up and tranfered them to where actual help could be given. A tragedy for most to see while Nōzan thought of it as nothing more than a mere devastation caused by the earth itself. While he kept gathering them up in the tents, he then saw a young man, possibly around his own age walking over to him and saw the look he was giving him. Nōzan then turned his back to him after a single glimpse of eye contact. What could have been felt by the one across from him was a strike of fire only rising through the atmosphere, if anything was to be felt through the tiny sliver of eye contact. With that, the floating coffin lowered down onto the earth as the blossoms around the top moved a bit to show an old woman's face with blood around the mouth. Speaking softly as his head hung low, his fists gripped tightly as he said "That's my great grandmother..or rather..my mother.." As he began to walk away to go find more injured people, the blossoms covered the face back up and began to float again. Feeling his chakra beginning to become unstable from a bit of over usage, Nōzan pushed himself as he started to run again. Hoping that person would just stay back and continue putting up the tents. Nōzan only worried for Misaki at this point but it couldn't have been seen over a now hardened shell. Amongst the debris from buildings, Nōzan then slowed down as it was the last cry that he could here, at least around him. Seeing that the cry was coming from under a pile of rubble, Nōzan said "Just give me a bit, I'll get you out of here." With that being said, he then heard a cry from a baby and then a little girl's voice as it said "Please help us! My mommy is hurt!" Nōzan then said "Just stay calm, everything is over, I'll get you out." After saying so, Nōzan began to pick up the rubble he could and toss them to the side until he could see a bit of blood seeping from a gap between two big rocks. Quickly, Nōzan turned his second chokuto into cherry blossom blade fragments, the whole metal weapon leaving his hand in an instant as he had them quickly cut the rocks, making sure to keep a higher edge than what it sounded like they were. With the rocks between cut away and the rubble it formed tossed to the side by the cherry blossoms, he then hopped up on top of them as he sqatted down, holding his arms out while the mother handed up the little girl. Having his newly formed blade fragments floating behind him, he set the girl down next to him while she then said "So pretty." Giving a face of aw. The mother then handed the baby up to Nōzan while he kept him in his arms and offered one last hand to the woman and helped her out. Inside the bundle of rocks was the torso and up of the father and he merely turned quickly as they all got down safely. Telling them where to go, Nōzan then began to walk, attempting to listen closely for more cries while he formed his chokuto back. Starting to breathe heavilly, Nōzan knew his kekkei genkai was starting to take its toll. Starting to walk, Nōzan then heard a bit more crumbling coming from above him as a huge chunk of a building had already started to fall. With it speeding down at him, he turned his chokuto back into the cherry blossom blade fragments and had them rise up towards the debris quickly, smashing into it. As he noticed a slight amount of it was cut and let down pebbles, he felt a struggle put on his shoulders as he then dashed out of the way, the coffin that was with him already behind him and not in range while he let off the hold and formed his chokuto again, the ground being smashed against as he then gripped his stomach and started to breathe even heavier. Gripping his chokuto tightly, he then began to walk with a slight limp and his hand on his stomach towards a hill that was just a little away. Seeing off in the distance, a single cherry blossom tree, Nōzan said "Just a bit more, Pinku.." As he began his way through the village, passing the damaged buildings, Nōzan finally reached the hill and laid the coffin down, of course after a bit of walking. Once more turning his chokuto into the cherry blossoms, he had them cut into the earth at a high speed and rate as it made a six foot hole. Letting the coffin slide into the hole and gently down, he then said "I love you, mom.." With those words, blossoms from above him flowed down and onto him as he had the ones he was controlling to cut up the earth to push the dirt down onto it. Cutting off any form of connection to those cherry blossoms, he then formed his chokuto for the last time as he then sat down on the ground and leaned his back against the tree, attempting to recover himself a bit while he looked towards the village, seeing the damage done..the lives lost..he closed his eyes for only a good amount of time to slow his breathing and recollect his thoughts.-

Kurasuke: -Today, to say the least, was an eventful one. Only just a few minutes ago, the ground itself within the village tore itself apart in a great schism as both heaven and soil seemed to become but illusion and here let a darkness settle within the hearts of many. Though it was only now that the situation had come to a rest, there were certain others who did not know of this. Of these people was a young boy who appeared to silently stride through the woods, a boy who had no clue as to what fate had in store for him. Even though the destruction was great within the village itself, outside of the general area, most would have it that at most they would feel a slight tremble (at the least for Ren’s own case). The reason for his temporary absence within the village was due to his own personal feelings drawing him within the dark shade of these trees that held a solemn innocuous nature to them.

Apprehension was in the air, none of the birds sung nor did the woodland creatures make their way as they bobbed and weaved through their natural domain. This struck deeply towards Ren, explaining his slightly pained expression as he just didn’t feel right within the woods at this one moment. His blue eyes, like the skies above, held a great radiance within them which set his being aside from this joyless forest. As forbidding thoughts continued to build and build within the boy’s mind, his pace would slowly quicken but never did he run. There was some reluctance towards his action, conflicted by this strange nature of the forest today or why it was getting to him so easily. Stepping onto the road, finally, Ren found himself on a familiar path. This was the main road which led back to Konohagakure, Ren’s own home where he lived at peace with his small family consisting of just his mother and father. Its roads were not with grass, and instead all that was shown was the barren and dry earth created naturally from generations of other’s who braved these woods and would eventually come to find the village.

The light now without the unrelenting, dark shade of the trees, would pour down upon Ren. His fair complexion seeming almost like that of snow in relation to its tone, perhaps seeming strange for the young man who was a ninja. However, this was in stark contrast with the dark hair that rest atop of his head with the style that of an undercut. Underlying this were his own markings of his clan, the Kaguya. Aside from this, the boy only wore dark clothes making for a dull outfit but given the various tones of both black and gray together at least made for some given differentiation. Such was his own short-sleeved jacket, with its primary color of choice being a dull gray and its sleeves being rather darker like that of the onyx hair Ren had. This in tangent with a pair of baggy jeans, and open-toed sandals made for an uninteresting look. However, such a thing gave better emphasis to the boy’s own charming looks and his fair skin. The trade-off from the dull clothing was perhaps good, but for someone who wore it they perhaps needed a good look about them in order for it to look any proper. Of course, it wouldn’t look very proper as Ren seemed to go from an apprehensive look to what was now like that of panic.

As he looked down the road, he saw that some sort of unknown force had beset a great destruction upon his village. It first started with the shaking, as Ren couldn’t control his bodily functions staring at what was. Then there was the quickening in that of breath, shallow and quick breathing as though the boy was trying to selfishly take in as much air as he could. Finally, he was simply set off as his eyes reddened and he sprinted towards the grim destruction before him. The cries, the moans; they all rung of the injured and some perhaps dead. These sounds twisted around in Ren’s head as fear and paranoia quickly overtook him. The first personal rule of a shinobi is that they must restrict themselves, and save the people and not selfishly look after their own interests. However, such things were quickly broken by those untrained of the mind. Those who had not yet experienced pain, panic, anger, and all of these things that gave temptation to madness.

Ren would speed on until he saw the crumbled streets in which many people he knew, including his own family, were to reside. The boy could only rely on muscle memory now, everything looked so different that he no longer recognized this as a beautiful dream but a twisted nightmare that had ensnared him. It wasn’t until two people, hidden by their own tremendous speed would step out and instantly grab the boy, forcing him to stop. One thing after another, things were just getting worse and only the worse could be assumed by the murky thoughts of Ren as he screamed and kicked about in frustration. While doing so, the boy would wail about, “Let go of me, let go of me, let go of me, let go of me, letgoofme, letgoofme…” Madness overtaking as Ren simply was reduced to incoherent speech mixed in with the screaming of a disturbed child.

However, this was all stopped in but a second as an angelic voice chided at this behavior, “Ren, calm down; everyone’s fine.” Like that, Ren went limp and only silence ensued as the family all hugged one another. Ren’s father would let a gruff hand give a harsh pat on Ren’s back, assuring the young boy, “its fine, Ren, it’s only natural for someone to do what you did. But you should know in the future that there’s a reason you’re a shinobi, it’s because we put you there in the first place.” Like that, Ren wiped his eyes as he took upon a great look of shame for his own selfish actions.

Quickly, the matter was ended and Ren’s mother pointed in the opposite direction, “Alright, Ren, I want you to go look down over there while Dad and I handle everything down here. Understood?” Ren would readily nod and sprint down the street, trying to scope out any stragglers left behind. Fortunately there wouldn’t be any to depend upon the likeness of some basic kid, but perhaps for Ren’s own sake there would be something gained from this. Such might fate have it that he was walking along the same street that the village’s kage had been healing some girl.

StevieSkies: [🍂] Chaos. The village was slowly drifting towards chaos. After making sure the young genin was alright, he told him the orders straight from Lady Sixths mouth. He was off again like a bat out of hell, knowing much more needed to be done. Bakku continued down his path, relying mostly on his sense on his chakra sensing to guide him towards those who needed to be saved from under the debris. He was almost to his Clan home when he noticed that it appeared to have only suffered minor damage. He took out a small sigh of relief before taking note of a fading chakra signature in a passing home. It appeared to still be well standing, but the interior damage could show to be brutal. Bakku would slide through the cracked window, unknowingly taking a small cut on his forearm. His adrenaline was too high to focus in on a minor pain like a cut. "Hello? Anyone in need of assistance?" He'd call out with cupped hands, hoping to hear a conscious voice call back to him. All he got was a small and agonizing moan of what sounded to be a male. Bakku would bound over the wreckage of a flipped couch, thrown down table, shattered mirrors and knocked down pictures. The Nara was in the kitchen and noticed a large nook dropped down. He had found his injured. What appeared to be a small hand was sticking out from underneath the nook. He let out another small moan, a cry for help. Bakku would quickly grabbed the nook with and underhand grip and lifted it slowly, hearing some of the remaining objects fall down onto the floor. Bakku nearly dropped it when he was surprised with the sight of another body. A woman was laying on top of what he assumed to be her child in order to protect him. Her pale blonde locks were tainted with splashes of red blood from impact. It was sad yet noble, seeing how much she was willing to risk for him. There was no way for him to get it all the way up without risking the fact of broken glass raining upon them, so Bakku paused and hatched an idea. He'd hold it down a bit lower, in order to use only one hand. Keeping it stable, he brought the other hand up to him mouth, letting his teeth bite and tug the bandages he kept around his body free. He know had eight inches of bandage free on both wrists. He once again push it up slowly but surely before reaching a point right before all the glass would fall out. By gathering a chakra flow to his bandages, they would become alive and pierce through the wood and wall in order to hold the nook up. Bakku then dropped to a squat in order to help the family, bandages unwrapping as he went down. He knew it'd be able to hold for awhile, but the boy needed saving. Checking the pulse of both, the woman was deceased and the boy was alive. He'd quickly take the mother off the child and move her to a safer distance before taking the boy and releasing his bandages. They now trailed behind him as he took the child outside and searched for a near shinobi. Luckily, a fellow Nara clanswoman was racing by in her Chunin gear. He didn't recognize her at first, but he took note that it was one of Maiko's friends. She'd call out his name and pull him in for a hug before taking the boy from him. She'd inform him that everyone in the Clan made it out safely. This made Bakku feel like a weight was taking off his shoulders. She was about to race off again, but he stopped her. " There is a mother deceased in the house. I don't care who it is, but the nearest able shinobi should get her out..I must meet back up with Lady Sixth. I can sense her Sage Mode is active, meaning she'll need my Earth Style." She nodded and went on her way as he headed towards her large chakra source. It was like a lighthouse on a dark night to any Sensory Type. He traveled with speed to the location, finding she had already gather a few Earth Style users. It was time to end this. Nakara quickly rescued a young girl before giving the order. He slammed his hands into the ground and began to pulse the chakra he had left in the tank to patch up the shattered ground. He couldn't provide as much as the others, but he refused to give it any less than his all. It took fifteen minutes to finish the streets. By this time he was exhausted. Beads of sweat dripped off his forehead as he plopped back on the ground, he felt exhausted. He caught his breath and watched as Nakara began to heal the young girl she previously saved. [🍂]

Necrose: -Toki listened very carefully as the man spoke to him giving him instructions from the hokage her self just as Toki had assumed.He nodded at the mans after reciveing his instructions then plants his feet flat on the ground bending his knees slightly and darted off in the direction of his home to quickly check on his family to make sure they had gotten out of their home and into some preset up shelters. As Toki made his way home he stopped a few times helping people from falling building bringing them into medical tents being set up all around the village by other Genin. Toki neared the enterence to the Uchiha's housing area of the village and slowed himself down. As he walked near the building at the enterence of the area he heard the shouts of a voice he knew. "TOKI! There you are!," He turned around to be met by his best friend Kai that he has been friends with since day one of the academy. "I got something fo-" His words were cut off as a building on his side began to crumble tossing wood, pipe, and other debris at the child. Before Toki could react he watch as a sharp broken piece of a pipe ripped through his friends chest followed by a pile of rubble landing on his lower body. "No.." Toki said lowly to himself as his friend lay there the upper part of his torso sticking out from the rubble as he gasp for air. Toki was almost frozen in place hardly able to move he slowly made his way to his best friend placing his head in his arms. "Come on Kai you will be o- SOMEONE HELP!" Toki screamed out as he felt his friends body go limp one of his hands hitting Toki's lap. As the hand hit his lap it opened showing a dog tag with a small charm on it. The dog tag had both Kai and Toki's name on it with "Future Super Shinobi." next to each of there names. Tears began to fall from Toki's eyes as he laid his friends head down and placed a marker next to him for accounting for the dead as he closed his eyes. A strange feeling came over Toki as he stood to his feet and opened his eyes and placed the dog tag from his friends hand around his neck the tears still falling down his cheeks leaving streaking in the red paint marks he painted on his face. As he open his eyes, the beautiful blue turned to a deep red and one tomoe appeared in each eye, his Sharingan becoming unlocked. He began to walk toward his home slowly moving along stumbling and struggling fighting the pain he felt, "Misaki..." He said weakly as he tried fighting his way to his home to make sure his sister had not met the same faith his mother and father also on his mind, but it was no use the stress put on his body from seeing his beast friend die and having his Sharingan unlock took it's toll on his body, his vision started to get blurry and his movements slowed even more eventually his bady falling and hitting the ground and his eyes closed as he passed out in front of the gate leading to his home.-

Kaiiaki:＿φ(￣ー￣ ) "The one and only." Nakara attempted a bit of humor when the girl asked if she was the Hokage. Even under such circumstances, he bright personality shone right through. Like sunbeams lighting the earth gently in the early morning of the day. A slight warmth would be felt to her words. Nakara's eyebrows furrowed, her pouty lips pulling into a frown. "I need you to be careful young one." Nakara spoke in a stern voice to the young lady. "You will be taught how to utilize your strength. And become one of the strongest kunoichi in this village. You just need to learn how to use it the right way and you will become unstoppable.
" Nakara sighed softly, the gentle sound caressing the air like a soft blanket rubbed against one's ear. "And one last thing..." Nakara paused a moment to look the girl deeply into her eyes. "Let not yourself be comsumed by darkness...always let the light give you strength." If the girl remembered one thing out of today, she wanted her to remember the saying she just repeated. "I will see you at the training grounds in a few days...Akemi Hatake, my cousin." Nakara then broke eye contact with her as she stood up. Noticing a young boy about Akemi's same age staring at her from down the street. She wondered what could be on his mind. He looked to be particularly traumatized with the scene in front of him. But yet he looked at her like the rest of them did. Like she was a beacon of hope for the Land of Konoha. Like she was able to heal any injury. Cure any disease. Bring back the dead. With a flash, Nakara was at his side in a second. She lay her left hand upon his shoulder. A firm, but solid reassurance. While she faced off in the opposite direction. Looking onwards towards the Village Gate. Even after using so much of her chakra, she was still standing strong. "You have much to offer, young one. You shall not remain unguided. I will be here." Without another word, Nakara was off. Pulling buildings off of people, raising them above the ground and rescuing any that lay within. Many hours continued, the afternoon reaching twilight. The sun greeting the earth, saying goodbye until the next day. It had been a long wearisome day. Since the talk with the genin, Nakara had entered Sage Mode two more times to continue saving the many injured, and performing healings as she went. Nana, had also been a tremendous help. Saving many others herself by performing healings. Providing extra chakra to those medical ninja who needed it to continue healing. And now, at the end of the day, when Konoha had silenced, she needed to make a speech. With the majority of the citizens and ninja on Main Street, she decided to speak there. Under the shattered remains of the Hokage building, Nakara began her speech. "I'd like to say a few words before we conclude this day." She paused a moment, as she watched every eye turn towards her. Giving her their full attention. Looks of admiration, and respect filled their faces. She was glad to see them. It gave her something to smile about. "I cannot convey enough of my sympathy for each of your losses... I know each and every one of you have had a difficult day. Ninja and citizens alike. But I want you to know, that when one has a loss, everyone in Konoha has experienced a loss... We are all connected. We are connected through our hearts. And each and every one of you here tonight has the will of fire burning throughout your heart. It is with that fire that we will put together. And form a burning flame. A flame that will scatter light throughout the darkness, and pull us all together. Giving us a warmth and peaceful feeling in our hearts." She paused. "WE WILL REBUILD!" This time when she paused, she could hear the roar of cheers echo throughout the village. Crashing upon her eardrums like the waves of waterfall. "And this time, we will come back stronger than ever!" With the last bit of strength within her, Nakara used this to genuinely smile at her people. A beam of sunshine throughout the now darkened village. "LONG LIVE LADY SIXTH!" The villagers around her cried out. It was pleasing to her ears. Like a bandaid had been applied to the wounds from hearing all the screams of pain and agony. Today would live on in her memory forever. But thanks to all the people gathered here today. She couldn't have done it. It was them that gave Nakara her strength. And strength to live on. Nakara walked over to her makeshift tent. That was to be her shelter for now until her building was fixed. And she wouldn't let it be fixed until every other home and business was fixed before hers. She could wait. They were her main priority. As Nakara took off her battle garb, laying it gently upon the ground, she thought about her cousin Kaiko Hatake. She had seen him earlier in the day. And was proud that she had seen him assisting in the healings of the people in medical tents. She hadn't had time to stop on by and ask him how he was doing, but she hoped he was okay. Kaiko was related to her through blood, his father being a Hatake and mother being a Haruno. Thus giving him the Haruno trait, their piercing aquamarine eyes. She missed her cousin. And hoped she would get to see him in the morning. But for now, it was time for a well deserved rest. Nakara took her clothes off, lying them on a nearby matching desk and chair in her room. She pulled on her long red Haruno sweater and panties. She didn't have a mirror within her room. But she was sure she looked like she had been through hell. Nakara clipped her hair back into a bun. A few of her wavy curls spilling out of the sides. Her body fell into her bed, nearly collapsing from exhaustion. Within seconds of her head lying upon the pillow, she was asleep. Dreaming about happy times with Hayate, her once child-hood friend, and later boyfriend before he went away on a mission away from Konoha. φ(￣ー￣ )ノ

## Summary: COMPLETED 9-3-15

In the beginning, Nakara and Bakku proceeded on with their plan to interrogate the intruder; Ban Kaguya. Not long into the interrogation, Konoha was shaken by an Earthquake leaving smaller buildings demolished completely. While bigger buildings somewhat surviving the blow. With the distraction of the earthquake, Nakara burned the flesh off the Kaguya's face before he tumbled into the rubble below the Hokage building which had been split in half. She left the sustained capture up to a Yamanaka, Nonota, and Uchiha Anbu Black Ops members. With this she carried on to her village. Nakara summoned the slug Nana as she soon realized that with all the damage, she would need a lot of help in healings. With Nana now assisting, Nakara now took off into the village, and then deciding to go into Sage Mode to help boost her chances of saving even more people. Meanwhile, Nozan rescued Misaki from an almost certain death from a fall to the ground. Luckily he made it in time to use his cherry blossom fragments to lower them both safely unto the earth below. Not long after that, Nakara On the other side of town, gave the order for Jounin to rescue those trapped in the rubble. Chunin to escort the moderately and severly injured to the hospital. And for Genin to account for the dead, and to put up some makeshift hospital tents on streets for the homeless and wounded because of the hospital being overwhelmed and nearly every villager becoming now homeless. Bakku carried out the order, passing on the message to any able ninja he could find. Nakara herself searched for earth users in order to make the ground stabilized and to help with those in need. Meanwhile, Nozan and Misaki were recruited to go account for the dead. So Nozan went to a teahouse to check on Roku. When found, Roku was nearly dead and in severe pain. She asked Nozan to kill her in which he did grudgingly. Roku left the tea house in his name. On Misaki's end, she checked on Haruko the owner of the flower shop. Upon finding the old woman, Misaki discovers the woman is nearly crushed to death because of the nearly destroyed building and dies within minutes of Misaki's arrival. Because of Haruko's death, Misaki unlocked her sharingan. She travels home and faints in her mother's arms. Thanks to the efforts of Lagi Makoto and his water clones springing into action, many other citizens were saved and medical tents were put up on Main Street. With this, Kaiko Hatake was summoned to heal the minorly injured. After Nakara has gathered up the village's earth users, she brings them all into Main Street to do a mass stabilizing the ground with their earth nature. Before she is able to give the order, she finds and rescues Akemi Hatake, healing her just in time. After healing the genin, Nakara gives the order to stabilize the ground with the small earth user army. After about 15 minutes, they stabilize the ground from taking more buildings down and splitting more areas. Nakara then sees a young boy before having a few words with him. Hours later, Nakara gives a speech to the village after Konoha has quieted down. Thanks to the effort of all the ninja, the village is back on its way to being repaired. It will take many days to get it back to the way it used to be, but for now, the village is at rest. Preparing for another day of hard work.
