Caldera lake is the fountainhead of all the waters that pour through Uzushiogakure. Sitting in the caldera of the volcano it is a massive body of water which is created by a fuuinjutsu powered spring. Water is brought from the ocean through an area of natural filtering in the volcanic rock before it finally emerges with a pink hue into the caldera. To accentuate this hundreds of cherry trees are planted along the coast of it such that in springtime they bloom in pink just like the waters of the lake.
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2018 8:53 am
__ The Caldera was Tetsuhiko's absolute favorite place in the entire village. The constantly blooming cherry blossom trees and the pink water inspired numerous paintings. However, as he approached, he knew something was wrong. There was intense flooding in the area hurting the beautiful cherry blossom trees. This kind of ugliness would not be tolerated by the God of Beauty! As he approached with Chie by his side he spoke up. "Disgraceful. This is the work of Team Aqua, a thieves guild of pirate rejects who specialize in water ninjutsu. They like to flood vulnerable areas of the village and take the treasure left behind. Looks like the Caldera is their new base." The Jounin spoke in an irritated but also analytical way. "Since I'm a Jounin I have clearance to engage them and if I say that I'm your squad leader I can bring along a lowly Chuunin like you as back up. I wouldn't want to get in trouble with Lady Sanae. Deal?" Tetsuhiko asked as they approached. He eventually had to look down and notice that his legs were being covered by the water. Now they could see a gargantuan cyclone in the center of the caldera. There were ten of them total, two who were tampering with the seals that regulated the water flow and the rest spread out along the lake performing water ninjutsu to exacerbate the flooding.
Tetsuhiko opened his mouth as if to begin singing but the only sound that came out was that of pipe organ music that he was playing from the instrument in his chest as if it were a muscle. It was a simple melody that cast a magnetic field over the entire caldera. With all of the waves and cyclones, it was too dangerous to get too close at the moment. Suddenly, a large amount of iron sand was unsealed from the storage seals on his arms. The ebony sand cascaded over the area gorgeously at an incredible speed before creating a wall formation around the cyclone lake starting in front of where he and Chie were standing. The wall was then enhanced with chakra allowing it to block the water ninjutsu. The land was now no longer flooding and the water was contained in the lake once more. "Ay, what gives?!" One of the guild members said as he noticed that the flooding was no longer working and the black wall that had formed. They had hoped that being in such a secluded location would allow them to avoid Uzushiogakure ninjas foiling their plan before it could be fully executed. Tetsuhiko silenced his instrument before turning to Chie and speaking. "Now let's see what your ninjutsu is made of! If you could bolster my iron sand wall with earth then they've got no chance." After the walls were set up, then they could jump in and get this show on the road.

Chie sobered as they approached this camp of thieves. It was her looseness through alcohol that caused her to just blindly follow Tetsuhiko to this location. When she approached the destination, however, and her eyes were able to properly process how dangerous the mission was, she was alarmed. This was not something which she should be doing on her own. She was only a chuunin of the village, and a group of this caliber required at least a jonin of Uzushiogakure to take point in the attack. But, since Tetsuhiko was a jonin, Chie allowed him to take the lead. When his mouth opened she instinctively covered her ears to block out the awful organ sound that came out of his mouth. He truly wasn't human. It was then, however, that his grand plan of taking control was to box the entire group within walls of iron sand; like some sort of bowl.
"Well that's one way to make Uzushiogakure great again." Chie said mockingly. Inside the bowl the eight grunts who were not messing with the seal each formed handseals and performed a C-ranked water stream ninjutsu against one spot of the wall. Although Tetsuhiko's sand was reinforced, the sand was starting to be pushed away, and a crack was beginning to form in the defense. "If these guys break out of your trap then they can escape and gather more forces." Chie said as she kept her focus on the wall. Her two hands rose and two arcane symbols appeared in front of each palm. The symbols pinged a few times various seals in a synchronized way. Then, when the two were finished, Chie placed both palms together in front of her chest, and four inches in front of her pressed hands the two symbols merged into one. A towering earth wall then rose and surrounded the entire internal parameter of the iron sand wall. The water attacks together then had no longer any effect. "You know Tetsuhiko. Earth and lightning are the two elements which make up magnetism." She said as her her looked at him and her eyes were sharp. Her arms folded in front of her as she said, "If you just used earth ninjutsu from the start then you could have easily made a trap these hydrophiles couldn't have beaten on your own." She said critically. It was her feeling that the reason why he used iron sand was because of aesthetic purposes, and not because of the efficiency. As someone who wanted something as dangerous as this done as quickly as possible, she was annoyed that the leading Jonin did not appear to be taking this as seriously as she did.

__ Tetsuhiko immediately looked at Chie with a twisted sardonic expression. "Really, Chie? I didn't know my own kekkei genkai required lightning and earth. I bow before your wisdom!" He spoke with theatrically dramatic sarcasm and mocking before the living masterpiece lifted up on his heavy iron body with magnetism. This allowed him to fly through the air as if he were weightless. "Now it's time for you to see how it's done." Tetsuhiko then winked and smiled with incredible confidence as he levitated above Chie. He then gracefully flew over the walls of iron sand and earth to stare at the goons below. His eyelids were typically half closed giving him an eternally aloof expression, however now they were wide open for the intimidation factor of perceived insanity. "Gentlemen! While I do enjoy a water show, you're destroying the beauty of nature and that just won't do!" Tetsuhiko then opened his mouth widely and battered them with the loud music of a pipe organ. They covered their ears before Tetsuhiko snapped his fingers. With the snap, a puff of smoke emerged atop the sealed pipeline and revealed the Amazon Queen. While the two Team Aqua peons were busy tampering with the water seal the suddenly appearing puppet ambushed them. Ten chakra threads were attached to her from where Tetsuhiko's was floating across the pond as she impaled the first man through the jugular with the longsword in her right hand. The other man performed a C-Rank suiton water jet technique that the puppet jumped over with ease after Tetsuhiko enhanced its movement with chakra. The puppet then stabbed him through the stomach with the short sword in her left hand. There was a sense of precision and elegance to her movement supplied by the puppetmaster. When both men collapsed the marionette shook the blood that stained her blades off of the steel and stood guard over the fountain. The water levels then substantially dropped as the flow was returned to normal. The eight remaining men watched as their comrades were killed and began to panic. In the panic, they ignored Tetsuhiko and continued to attempt to hammer away at the walls in order to escape the puppeteer's trap before he could finish them off. Their techniques were getting stronger out of desparation and beginning to break through. Hopefully, Chie would have an antidote to this malady of events.

Tetushiko was cute if he thought that he could simply fly into the air to avoid her. Chie performed a few handseals and then ascended into the air with the power of wind ninjutsu. She used her flight in order to ascend where the puppeteer positioned himself. It was there that she was able to watch the devastation the puppeteer performed on the crowd of two rogues who were tampering with the water seal. The puppetry on display was of incredible terror and power. Tetsuhiko was truly someone of incredible talent to be able to use such finesse in the puppet's movement. As she noticed his skill, she also noticed that the other surviving members are trying more frantically to break through the barriers which hold them back. "Let's see how much these guys really like water..." She said to herself as her hands easily breezed through the seals of an incredibly high ranking ninjutsu. A massive serpent of water appeared from the water beneath her and absorbed the attacks the rogues were using, thus increasing the technique's own bulk. The slithering water apparition roared as it then consumed four of the guards and slammed them into the earthern wall inside. Not only did the force easily knock some of the victims out cold, but it also allowed Chie to absorb her own water ninjutsu into her earth ninjutsu, which meant that the power of her earth ninjutsu was promptly amplified. Chie's mastery of ninjutsu was truly nothing to scoff at. At such a range there was little her opponent's could do to stop her.

__ He chuckled when he saw her flying next to him. He supposed that if they were both able to command the sky above the battlefield that would be of immense strategic benefit. Tetsuhiko was impressed by Chie's use of ninjutsu. The serpent of water was truly breathtaking as it annihilated four of their foes. "Now those are water effects!" Tetsuhiko deeply appreciated the aesthetic of the attack. Immediately after her assault he twitched his fingers and transferred chakra through the indigo threads into the heels of his marionette. Her speed was instantly doubled and she soared across the lake like a bullet. With a series of six very precise slashes from her long sword and her short sword, the four remaining men collapsed and sank into the water with blood mixing into the typhoon. As the water settled, a giant blue whale rose from the bottom of the Caldera attracted by the smell of blood. It was so massive that it made the lake look like a kiddy pool. It roared at Tetsuhiko and Chie as it maneuvered to consume them both with its large teeth. Before it could get close, however, Tetsuhiko instantly sprang into action. The king of the iron funeral collection appeared in front of Tetsuhiko and Chie with five strings attached to his back. It crossed its arms defensively as a spherical shield of chakra covered the three of them. The powerful shield then repelled the monster with ease as it slammed back into the water. "Got any Suiton for this thing?!" Tetsuhiko asked with urgency.

Chie watched as Tetsuhikoβs puppet made quick work of the remaining guards. She greatly disliked his perference for murder over subduing. That must be a Sunagakure thing. Then again, San and Kya were also not oppose to killing. Maybe it was just her behind the eight ball. Lost in thought, however, she could ready no counter as the massive blue monstrosity leaped out of the water. She was truly grateful when Tetsuhikoβs puppet appeared and erected a barrier around them. The fish was repelled, but an incredible shockwave resonated within the bubble because of the sheer force of the attack. βIβll try to hold it down.β She said as she already prepared in her mind what water ninjutsu to cast. Before she started the seals, however, the monster fish rose to the surface of the water. A ring of water materialized around its head as a dozen blast of water fired from the ring in a horizontal level. This caused each blast to collide to the walls, easily bursting through them like they were tissue paper. Rock and metal flew haphazardously into the air as the area began to flood once more. Now it was the creatures chakra which was causing the location to flood.
βThat blast would have to be S+ ranked power for it to so easily break through both of our walls.β Chie remarked. This made her immediate have to rethink her battle strategy, since there was no way her water ninjutsu could hold a chandle to this fiend. βI got an idea. I hope you know how to make Sushi.β She said before she dive bombed down to the fishes location. The monstrous fish noticed her as it fired another barrage of water projectiles. Chie flew by each of them until she landed and submerged herself into the water below the fish. Her hands materialized her incantation seals as she used her wind ninjutsu to propel herself quickly to underneath the fishβs belly. When both seals finished she clasped her hands together and two disk became one. Chie then raised her hands and placed them on the fishβs body. Her chakra transferred to the enemy which drastically reduced its weight. With an underwater βchaβ She used wind ninjutsu to levitate her out of the lake. She held the fish above her head as she rose as high up as quickly as she could. βNow!β She shouted to Tetsuhiko.

__ Tetsuhiko stammered at the force of the bite entering the chakra barrier. The water monster then destroyed their barriers with ease. It was like watching a bullet fly through paper. The power of its water ninjutsu was truly frightening and he agreed with Chie's assessment of its potency. Tetsuhiko saw the currents flow out and flood the area some more. Now the monster was the one causing the incredible flooding with a new source. "Team Aqua must have kept it in a water prison under the Caldera while tampering with the seals to fill the village with enough water to release it." Now he fully understood what their plan was. He watched as Chie jumped in, dodged the water jets, and submerged herself with the power of youth. "I may be immortal, but she isn't. She's got heart!" He admired as he watched her shoot the whale up in the air from below.
Tetsuhiko knew to follow her directions on this as the Chuunin impressively took the lead. When the fish was out of water Tetsuhiko immediately gained magnetic control over his iron sand and sent hundreds of iron spikes towards it. The spikes were enhanced with a great deal of chakra to increase the overall effectiveness. They all hit their mark and pierced through the whale before it disappeared in a puff of smoke. "A summon!" Once the beast vanished the water finally settled to its normal flow and composition. Before Tetsuhiko could declare a mission accomplished, however, a man rose to the surface. He had been at the bottom of the lake in a vortex with his summon the entire time creating the powerful cyclone. "Who are you?!" Tetsuhiko asked at the top of his not-lungs. "I'm Archie, the Leader of Team Aqua!" The man spoke with rage as he stood drenched in water. "Your goons and your monster are gone, just give up and come quietly!" In a fit of rage, the guild boss fired hundreds of potent water jets towards Tetsuhiko and then attempted to create a water cyclone prison to drown Chie. Tetsuhiko created chakra shield over his skin from the mechanism in his chest that successfully blocked the powerful and quick attack from doing damage, but the force sent him back a considerable distance.

Chie felt relief as the oceanic monstrosity was eliminated by Tetsuhiko's collaborative strike. The two made quick work of the fish fiend. As it popped, however, Chie was stumped. She did not anticipate that the foe was a summon. Tetsuhiko's trained eyes beat Chie's to the final opponent, a man known as Archie. As Chie turned around in the air to face him, it was already too late. The vortex of water aimed at her was already wrapped around her foot and swiftly dragged her into the lake. She hastily gathered her breath as she was submerged. Her wind ninjutsu was doing her no favors in getting her airborne. It wasn't like the fish that couldn't retaliate because of her actions. This thing had a deep grip on her, and she needed to think quickly.
Panic filled her as she looked around. She was getting deeper into the lake. She knew that Tetsuhiko wasn't going to allow her to die, but she didn't want to be dependent on his assistance either. No, she was a proud ninja of Konohagakure; of Uzushiogakure. She needed to prove her own worth. It was then that her eyes caught a glimpse on an anchor directly beneath her. Handseals formed faster than lightning. The anchor became channeled with Chie's chakra as it was propelled toward her. Chie reached for the anchor as it darted by her. The force of Chie's chakra easily allowed her to hold on and escape the grasp of the water vortex. Within moments she returned to the surface and caught her breath. The anchor continued to fly to the far right of Tetsuhiko, approximately thirty feet. As soon as Chie was airborne her wind chakra allowed her to fly, and chakra molded into her right hand. The object in her hand became weightless as she held it by the handle and pointed it at Archie.
"Team Aqua Leader. Know that Uzushiogakure does not allow terrorism of any kind." She said with power in her voice as the anchor as held away from her. "For your crimes against our nation, you will be arrested and held in a court of our land. Surrender now or face the combine wrath of Suna and Konoha." She demanded. Archie gritted his teeth as he weaved the symbols of the raging river force. The width of the technique would easily collide with herself and Tetsuhiko. "Tetsuhiko. Let's finish this." She said as she tossed the anchor toward the middle of them. With her right hand extended for the throw, her left hand formed handseals. They were meant to be in mirror sync with Tetsuhiko, however, as she opened herself to make a Korabo bond with the man. Despite his perceived shortcomings, Tetsuhiko has proved himself to be a prominent shinobi and an excellent team player. Their ability to play off of each other has shown off a moderate amount in this match. Now it was time for them to combine their talents. (Training: Korabo A-ranked)

__ Before Tetsuhiko could fly off too far he caught himself mid air using magnetism. He was worired when he saw Chie forcibly submerged. Before he could move in to save her, she flew out of the lake with an anchor. "Interesting power. I don't think she has Jiton." He speculated, but he was thrilled to see her safe in any case. Chie was an impressive kunoichi for sure. He performed the hand signs and acted in korabo with her using a lightning ball. The anchor would then be grealy enhanced with conductive electric power. Just before Archie could form his final handsign, the electrified anchor collided with him and he collapsed into the water. Tetsuhiko cheered and high fived Chie. "Now that was an electrifying performance!" Tetsuhiko continued his theatric showboating before he looked around at the devastation. A group of VORTEX police suddenly arrived to collect the corpses and arrest the living criminals. "Good work, Jounin Hanzo, we'll take it from here." They bowed to him and then Chie before taking their leave with the men.
Now that the flooding was over there was still an excess of water on the banks and in the cherry blossom forest. He used a massive amount of iron sand to scoop the water up and move it into the lake. Thankfully, the Caldera had an installed system to deal with massive flooding such as this. He then controlled Caesar and Penthesilia to do the heavy lifting for him.
He used Caesar's strength to put trees back into place and Penthesilia's speed to help the water along. The iron sand was doing its job in beautifying the area as well. Tetsuhiko wached from the sky as it was starting to come together. Chie would certainly need to help as well because this once beautiful area was currently a devastated mess.
Caesar continued to do landscaping work while Penthesilia helped the water drain. The lake was beginning to even out now. Tetsuhiko was grateful to have puppets so that he would not have to lift a finger. It all seemed so much more efficient this way. Around the lake there was some terraforming that needed to take place on the land, but he would leave that to Chie.

Solo or Squad: Squad Minimum Posts: 3 Note: Each post above the minimum awards an additional 50 AC. Each member of a squad must post at least once.
The electrified anchor successfully defeated Archie. As the Vortex police appeared to arrest the criminals, Chie also noticed that the area was damaged by the excess water. Thankfully, because of Chie's water element, she was able to form some handseals and retreat the majority of the water back to the center. Now that it was in the center, however, she had to get creative as to how to disburse the excess water.
Chie's initial plan was to evaporate the extra water. Her left hand held the seal for the water manipulation while her right hand molded new seals. When she finished she inhaled deeply and breathed out an impressively sized fireball. The fireball collided with the withdrawn water and steam erupted from it. When she finished she dropped her seal as the extra water was evaporated.
Now all that was left was to remove her access pieces of the earth element. Chie formed a series of handseals and then stopped. Her chakra inhabited the remnants of all of her earthen walls. With one thought she propelled all of the fragments into the depth of the lake. With how deep the water was, it would easily cover up the relics of her earth ninjutsu. Now she was exhausted. She used an incredible amount of ninjutsu during that fight. Her body was beyond exhausted. Still, she couldn't show any sign of weakness to Tetsuhiko. With her wind ninjutsu still active, Chie flew over to Tetsuhiko. A smile crossed her face as the dripping wet ninja stuck her hand out to him in a thumbs up. "Great job at not sucking!" She said in a congratulatory sense. It was her internal run on joke to credit those she worked with as not sucking, as opposed to saying something truly positive. She especially didn't want to say anything too nice considering the ego this performer had.

__ His iron sand and puppets were dismissed to their storage seals as he felt his chakra levels reach dangerous lows. The purple chakra threads from his fingers also disappeared leaving him plainly as himself. He smiled at Chie when she said that he did not suck. "Yeah." Tetsuhiko said with sapped energy that was far from typical for the exuberant artist. He flew towards the banks of the lake and landed as his magnetic field disappeared as well. Suddenly, he felt overwhelmed by something and collapsed. He let out a loud and concerned screech before falling to the ground unconscious. For some reason the earlier water jet attack that made contact with him from Archie caused him a mysterious amount of trouble. A powerful sensor from miles away may be able to feel his faint chakra presence.

Chie lowered herself to the ground alongside Tetsuhiko. It appeared as though the puppeteer was equally as drained from the encounter. The two of them did take down eleven rogue shinobi and a giant fish. It was a miracle that both of them were able to do so on their own. As they reached the ground, however, Chie's eyes widened with Tetsuhiko's sudden burst of unsciousness. Her arms extended as she wrapped the puppeteer with her grasp. However, because of his metallic frame, Chie found herself quickly drawn to her knees in order to hold the body up. "Tetsuhiko!" She shouted as an attempt to awakened him. There was no response. She tried to shake the body within her arms, but had little success with it. With her incantation circles she molded the seals for the ultra weightless technique. This allowed Chie to hold Tetsuhiko's body as though it was as light as a toy. "Tetsuhiko!" She shouted again as she now gave him a good shake. Still no response. Damn. She needed to get this man to the hospital. Would a ninja hospital even be able to help a human puppet. Maybe she should go to a puppet vendor. 'Don't be stupid Chie. He has a chakra network, therefore ninja doctors can work on him.' She mentally decided on. With the last of her flying power Chie shot herself toward the direction of the hospital. She was going to get this man to safety pronto.

__ Tetsuhiko arrived at the Caldera with Masato and Chie not likely walking far behind. The metal marionette man could now be a strong candidate for the world's angriest investigator award. He ran about the area searching frantically for clues that would indicate who the suspect could be. "There's got to be clues somewhere, I wreckon!"

Masato arrived side by side with the puppet bodied Tetsuhiko. He glanced side to side. " Tell me. What are we looking for exactly?" He asked. While he wasn't eager to utilize his abilities in front of the whole world, he wanted to expedite the investigation so he could confront the responsible attacker personally. His eyes closed, slowly opening to reveal his standard three tomoe variant of the sharingan. This would be enough to find anything left behind, right?
