As she waited for a response, she noted that it took this unusual girl a few moments to really acknowledge her presence before smiling and staring a bit at her doll, a rather childish thing that didn't really suit a girl her age or height, the boots she wore didn't help either. This woman had a spear though and started to twirl it around before pressing a finger to her lips as if trying to say 'shhh', making Alice blink at first, however, after placing the pole arm on her back the woman then pointed to Alice and started to mouth her name before pointing at herself and then mouthing her own name is a very slow and deliberate manner to make sure even an idiot could understand what she was trying to say. Realizing then what was wrong, she smiling and nodded to the girl. "Betori. That's a very unusual name, yet elegant in it's own way." She commented, showing she understood as the other was about to point to something before stopping herself. She seemed to become lost in her own thoughts then, seemingly in deep thought for a bit, though Alice wouldn't want to pry, and noticed the girl's slightly confused body language. Given the lack of ability to really communicate, it was understandable that she wouldn't be very sure on what to do now, but Alice simply smiled and spoke again. "That's such a troublesome condition you have there Betori. But luckily for you, I've spent a good teal of time learning how to read lips and I am actually very good at it. If there's anything you want to say, just say it and I'll understand you." She told her rather plainly, though likely expected the girl to be near ecstatic at the fact that she had just met a person that would be able to actually communicate with her directly without need for writing or body language in the least.

xxxxxxxx☁☁Betori Quielle the Doragon☁☁xxxxxxxx Fire | Wind | Earth | Lighting | Water
Getting distracted, the Doragon would glance at the doll again only to hear her name. She would watch Alice a moment, thinking. Read lips? She could read Betori's lips? That was wonderful but... Betori would open her mouth before closing it. She only knew a little English. Just enough to understand people. As far as being able to speak it, she'd never been taught. She was mute primarily because she could only communicate with animals effectively. For some reason that's all she could ever manage. She would open her mouth again but nothing would come of it. Thinking a moment she would come to the conclusion that there was only one thing to do. She would have to try and use all the moth movements that Alice had to form a sentence. She didn't understand much; therefore, she couldn't say much, either. For now this would have to do. "Name Betori. Alice read mouth?" As soon as she would mouth this a dog would wander over to her and sit down. She would glance down at it before pulling her spear from her back. Was she going to harm it? She taps the ground with it before getting really close to the creatures ear.
The honey colored dog would bark a few times, as if responding to her before whimpering. She would then move in front of him and mouth everything that Alice had, even when she wasn't seeming to have been paying attention. The dog would bark, scraping at the ground, before whining. So that's what all she said. She would return to whispering into his ears before he would respond just as before. Only this time he would move his mouth as if trying to speak. "Hi. We have not met..." She would look to the hound again before turning to Alice and going on with her mouthing. "For me Alice is weird... strange... not usual, er, unusual. For me Alice is unusual but fits you. Dog will tell me how to respond. He's been with many people." She felt more confident in the dogs words than her own. They weren't very confusing but enough so that he had to be aiding her in speaking at least mostly human. Dog waits and soon Betori moves so that she can still look at Alice but can also pet dog as well. She strokes his fur gently across his head a moment before digging deep with her nails. His tail waging gives her a sign that he likes it so she proceeds to test other areas to find his scratch spots and his rub spots.

Alice blinked and tyilted her head a slight bit curiously as the girl would open her mouth to speak, only to shut it again. She would repeat this once more, parting her lips as if to say something before closing them shut again as if having forgotten what to say. Was she at a loss for words? Though when Betori started mouthing a sentence and Alice read it, she realized then that this girl must not have really learned proper English due to her lack of ability to even speak in the first place. An understandable problem, but she nodded in response to the crude question, wondering if there was a way she'd be able to make this conversation go a little more smoothly. It was right about then that a stray dog came running up to them both and Betori seemed to perk up a little, kneeling down to speak into the canine's ears. Alice watched rather curiously as the girl seemed to talk to the dog despite having been seemingly mute at first. It was a little confusing, the dog whimpering and barking a bit in reply, pawing the ground before she stood to face Alice again, mouthing a much longer, though somewhat crude sentence with her lips. What she said surprised Alice though, the girl seemed to be able to fully communicate with animals despite her lack of verbal speech, and through that, she has managed to learn how to say words with her lips she did not know before thanks to what this dog knew. The mere idea of this was actually quite fascinating and she was becoming more and more intruiged by this woman and her unusual ability, wondering if she would be able to figure out how she does it. She does give a simple nod to show she understood what Betori had said before responding. "That is a very interesting ability. Talking to animals, it must be useful." She said, smiling a bit and trying to refrain from using too many long or excess words in her sentences. "Where are you from?"

She would end up crouched before the canine aiding her in speaking to Alice. She would scratch him roughly behind the ear, making him howl and tap a hind leg. He really liked that! Betori hugs the dog, calming the both of them some, as Alice would speak. To the Doragon it would sound very foreign and even echoed in her ears at times. Ability... Animals.. Talk... Those were the words that stood out. Betori would listen as the dog would translate and she would nod mostly to herself. She would look at Alice now, listening as the dog would continue on, and then she would look down at the dog. She would furrow her eyebrows a moment before seeming to whimper into the dogs ear. Upon closer listening, the most that would be heard would be sighing and hushed huffs from Betori. Rather than speaking, looking to whisper to the dog, she would simply be breathing the words almost. The brushing of her lips together also provided some indication of what she was saying. If it weren't for the dogs keen hearing even it would find it difficult to communicate with Betori. She would look at Alice out of the corner of her eye quickly before returning her attention to the dog.
Roughly translated, the dog was telling her that Alice wanted to know her home; where she was from. Betori urged in response that her village was not one she could speak. In response the dog would explain that she could lie or she could tell the truth. That only left her one option. "Hidden Heaven. You?" When she told Alice of her home villages she mouthed it very quickly and without emphasizing the words very much. It was as if she didn't want it to be announced. Her tanned skin would ascent the fur of the dog as she would clutch the beast tighter to her. In the event that Alice was a native and got hostile, she would have to protect her friend as he helped her a lot. He was a good dog. Suddenly Betori would look at Alice and then hop to her feet. She would make a snapping gesture and then her and the dog are suddenly running away towards the forest.

“Can you help my child?” The woman sat in front of her fire, not answering her unwanted visitor behind her. She had spent a lot of time staying away from people. She didn’t want nor needed anyone around her. “You led her to me Juuri. I told you that I didn’t want my location revealed…” She her the little Ichzuki sigh a little, like she knew she was in trouble. “But Master Yuriko… This woman’s son was brutally attacked by the neighboring village’s ninja… and no one in her village has a medical specialist-“ Yuriko waved her hand and Juuri talked talking. “Bring the boy in.” Juuri smiled and nodded as Mother came in with the hurt boy. Yuriko turned towards the other, the hood from her cloak hiding her face. She didn’t want anyone seeing her. She had done nothing to deserve the love from others. She had failed in protecting her home on multiple occasions. She didn’t blame the village if they hated her. She looked at the boy that was hurt. She was surprised he had lived that long. She ran a hand over the boy’s body, using her eyes to watch the boy’s chakra flow. He had just as much chakra as he did blood in his body. “There’s nothing I can do for him. He’s too far gone for any help… It would be a waste of chakra to try to save him now…” She didn’t look up as the mother stood up, her hands in fist. “He’s my son! Please, you have to save him! He’ll die if you don’t!” Yuriko closed her eyes, and took a long breath. “He’ll die if I try. There’s nothing I can do. His injuries are too severe-“
“Coward… You’re nothing but a coward…”
Yuriko opened her eyes again as the mother took the kunai from her back pocket and lunged at Yuriko. Yuriko grabbed the woman’s hand, hitting the chakra points on both of her arms. She then threw the woman on the ground, next to her dying son. “You’re nothing but a spineless coward…” The mother sobbed as she watched her son dye before her. “Even if I were to save him, he would have no use for his arm and his leg. He could never become the ninja he wanted to be, or the protector he wanted for you.” The mother sobbed again and turns her head up to Yuriko. “But he would be alive.” Yuriko stared at the woman and let her go as her son took one last breath. “No! Not my son! No!” The mother crawled to her dead boy and dragged the body into her lap and wept for her son while Yuriko packed her things.
“Master Yuriko?”
“We’re leaving Juuri,” Yuriko said as she tied the top of her small bag and stood up. Juuri grabbed her one bag and hopped on Yuriko’s shoulder. “You’re son… he wouldn’t have wanted to live that way… He wanted to protect you, his friends and his village… I’m really sorry for your lost.” Yuriko said as she started to leave the cave she was hiding in. “Oh I almost forgot…” she said as she took out a kunai. She quickly threw it at the mother, watching as it lodged in the mother’s back. “Master, why did you do that!?" Juuri said as she hopped onto the floor and started to make her way towards the mother, but when she got there, the mother fell over her son, lifeless. “But… I don’t understand… The injury wasn’t that serious… ” Leiko walked over and lifted the little ninja and started out of the cave. “She wasn’t real. She was already dead when she came here and her “son” was dead too… She was being controlled by someone, most likely one of my rivals looking for me. When I looked at her, her chakra flow was different, same with the little boy. Their chakra wasn’t their own…“ Juuri frowned a little as she took off of this in her little head. “Like a puppet?” Yuriko looked down as she walked and nodded once. She then looked up and started walking. “Yeah, something like that. You’re still young, so it’s okay if you don’t know everything.” Juuri smiled and started to kick her legs in the air. “That’s why you’re my master, Master!”
Yuriko knew it was a matter of time before the person controlling the dead woman was going to find them. Juuri had unknowingly led then to her. She thought for a moment of who it would be. She had her fair share of Joker run-ins and didn’t want to see that ugly clown again. There was also the possibility of some other enemy, maybe a survivor of the Angu-what-cha-ma-call-it group she met back a long time ago. Or maybe someone from Leaf wanted her dead. There were plenty of angry villagers that would love to see her head on a silver platter. She even thought of the group she went undercover in to help Akou with his problems. She didn’t think it was Akou himself. He wouldn’t have had sunk so low to control dead bodies. Regardless of who it was, she wasn’t going to give them what they wanted. She started running, then hopped into the trees and started jumping from tree to tree; looking for a safe place she could hide in for the night.

Shikarama Nara, The Dedicated Genius
Shikarama would awaken in his room, his mind blank, and his head throbbing. What had happened, where had he been. He knew not, but the world right now all seemed at ease. He took a moment to stretch before sitting up and stepping out of his home. Then, he felt something odd, something strange. He felt himself being drawn. There was something in the air, something he couldn't quite put his finger on, that told him to go to leave the leaf. village. Just as significant, the image of the moon ran through his mind. It wanted him to go to moon. He would just begin walking, and walking and walking, until he arrived at the gates. Not looking back, he just left, heading to the docks to reach hidden Moon.(2x) Total Cp 73981 Spendable Cp: Words: 131 Reserved : 134 100% Punch: 800/800

Logan Hyuuga, the Blue Byakugan
((Appearance: He has very large blue Byakugan eyes which appear to lack pupils. He wears a cloak, pants, gloves, a shirt, four scarfs, and a mask. They are all black and made of special materials. These clothes make it so only his eyes can be seen.)) Logan sat down within the darkness of what appeared to be a cavern. He would look up towards two stones, each with writing set down on it. He looked on with slightly saddened, yet nearly featureless eyes. He recognized the stones of course, and the names set upon them. Inoicha Yamanaka, and nisshoku Hyuga. He sat there, taking a moment to think as he looked to the graves. Minutes would pass, and he concentrated, almost as if in prayer. Eventually, he would stand up again, turning and leaving. Half an hour would pass and he would enter through the gates of the hidden Leaf Village.
Adell Terumi, THE GREATEST NINJA IN THE WORLD, wanna-be...
Adell would leave the building, smiling confidently as he went over what he had learned. He knew now had to remove poison from a body. He understood how to direct his chakra in an instant to a single point, allowing him to produce incredible force. The technique resembled his chakra enhanced body technique. however, it used a single burst of energy, to do even more damage. Of course, it didn't come with the advantages of his own technique. Lastly, he was learning now to use storage scrolls. The time had come for him to leave the place for now. He had to re-establish his place as the kage of hidden Mist. He headed towards the gates, and back to the mist. 84836 SP/chakra Spendable skill points: 0 Word Count: 121 (3x) Reserved: 333 Strong Arm: 700/700 Poison Extraction Technique: 800/800 Medical Ninjutsu: Strong Beam 800/1000 Tobidougu: 800/800

"This isn't a debate Mashira!" that was what Reiko wanted to tell her. The amount of power that Hel possessed...it was something that Reiko could at least match, and possibly overcome with the Phoenix Force. Mashira on the other hand Reiko didn't expect her to even graze the woman. Her full lycan form would obviously increase her strength and speed but if only she was able to see what Reiko saw in that woman. Reiko and Hel were in different categories of power compared to the Lycan. But she did have a point in saying that they were a team; they were more than a team. And if the roles were reserved, Reiko would have reacted in the same way. Power levels, strength levels didn't matter in this situation; Remnant would have wanted them to fight back against Hel. Reiko would have went straight for the portal head first, willing to give out every ounce of energy from his human body in his attempts against Hel. So even if he were to fall he would do so for his friend...his brother.
Reiko just didn't want another person that he cared about to disappear.
And it was not as if he could tell her that; one reason being that he knew she was going to go anyway. Second, was that she actually went in to the portal first. "Heh..." There was no sense worrying about it now as the Phoenix flew behind Mashira through the portal. It was going to be perhaps their toughest fight yet. Not even the Demons from West City had this type of power. But it didn't matter what environment that Hel had planned for them, what type of servants she had under her control to send after the two.
Hel, along with anyone that stood beside her in her conquest would suffer in the cosmic flames on the Phoenix.
"What?..."But something was wrong. Reiko emerged from the portal, floating above ground as his glowing white eyes scanned the area for that Devil. And as he did so, he immediately realized where he was. It wasn't in a remote location, some sort of dimension of gods and goddesses, hell or heaven. And it wasn't certainly wasn't her realm. Reiko looked behind him to see that their entrance had already closed. There was no going back. No going back in and pursuing Hel because they had arrived in the last place they wanted to be after what happened to Remnant. Right where it all began "But how, when we followed her..." Reiko couldn't understand it at that moment, but with the two portals that were opened, his conclusion had hit him dead center in the forehead. "She tricked us....She knew we would come after her..."She had pulled a fast one on them somehow; using a portal to return back to her lair, then switched the location right afterwards.
"Grrrrrrr........" The phoenix was slowly building up a treacherous roar; his hands balled up into a fist full of anger as he soared higher towards the skies until he was above the city. There were obvious differences, but Reiko had thought that as long as they were back in the past it would be more futuristic; following in the footsteps of West City. But it still looked the same as it did before they went back into time. No doubt there would be new shinboi, a new generation of ninjas. Reiko would have been happy to return back to the present...finally. But the phoenix only had rage and destruction on its mind that it didn't worry about taking in the fact that they had got back home.
At first, it looked like Reiko was scoping out the area, just in case she was trying to get the jump on them. His white eyes only showing the anger that was building inside him, preparing to blow past the threshold. Reiko knew that there was no trace of Hel; all that he saw was the result of his powers miles and miles away from leaf; a crater the size of a city, eradicating anyone and anything that may have occupied that spot. "You won't escape me...." he softly told himself, before the powers of the Phoenix became apparent to the entire village.
These asgardians had went to far now. First off it was Loki, and how he took an entire village and Jono along with him to the depths of hell, and nearly killed Lilith. And now it was Hel, who had removed Remnant from existence like dropping a toothpick in lava. People that Reiko grown accustomed to, they were being destroyed in the hands of these asgardians.
The ground began to rumble like it was at the epicenter of a earthquake that would split planets into two, spreading towards any village that was close to it and from there travel like any other earthquake would do. Nearly every village would feel its power. The skies of Hidden Leaf would soon be overthrown with red and black skies; complimented by a monstrous thunderstorm of red and black lightning crashing down in the village. Enormous pieces of stone would be ripped from the ground and the village, slowly ascending towards the direction of the heavens. Unlike the previous times where the phoenix was unleashed, innocents were spared; only those who tried to take a shot towards Reiko would turn to dust instantly. Mashira on the other hand would be unharmed by his powers. He won't see her get killed, not now...
Suddenly, an enormous roar that could be heard from nearby villages was unleashed. "YOU WON'T ESCAPE ME HEL!!!!" The mighty avatar itself, the Phoenix then busted from Reiko for perhaps, the first time since he had acquired the power, making itself seen in the mighty black and red skies everywhere and the chaos continued. "I'LL FOLLOW YOU TO THE ENDS OF THIS DAMN UNIVERSE. ANYONE WHO STANDS IN OUR WAY....WILL FALL IN THE HANDS OF THE PHOENIX...NOW...AND FOREVER!!!!!" The Phoenix continued his roar, letting out all of his anger, while it appeared that Hidden Leaf would slowly join the depths of Hell. He would never use the power of the phoenix like this in normal circumstances, and when he did a bit of him cared about he repercussions.
This time, he didn't'.
And he knew that wherever that Hel was, she knew in the back of her mind that he would be coming for her.
Nappa said as he scratched his head. He looked around the great leaf village. He saw everything for the first time. He took in a deep breathe even the air felt dumb. He crossed his arms as people staired at him. Nappa towered over the fairly small 'ninjas.' He was a large brute of a warrior in a traditional armor.
He grabbed one of the ninjas by the head and shot them an angry gaze.
"where do you people ******** eat?"
The ninja pointed at the Ramen stand. Nappa took the ninja and threw him into a wall.
Nappa stomped towards the ramen bar and sat down at the table. He pointed to all of the people that were there and sighed.
"leave."
Nappa licked his lips and the chef came from the back nervous. His arms shaking. he knees weak. He looked at Nappa and twiddled his thumbs.
"sir.. how can I help you."
"Cook. Cook until I am not hungry anymore."
Nappa laughed as he stopped. He pointed his finger to the stove and the nin started to cook for him. Nappa growled with a bit of intensity. His knuckles cracked and his muscles stretched. He grabbed the first bowl of ramen that the chief put out and slurped it down.
"Keep them coming and I won't have to get nasty."
He said with a smile.

Laharal: Chakratech Orphan Laharal made his way along the busy streets of the leaf village, a black hooded jacket over his form, the hood held all the way over his head, such that his face would be largerly covered, hints of his pale skin along his mouth and chin still visible. He kept to the side of the main road, not seeking to draw too much attention from the populace. On his back was a small black backpack. Around his neck, hidden under his jacket was his headband, hiding the fact that he was indeed a ninja. Laharal would hear a small commotion, however, not too far off. He sped up his walking, to turn the corner, finding, among the villagers, a giant of a man. He spoke loudly and obnoxiously, grabbing one of the people around him and demanding where a place was to eat, before tossing the man to the side once he had an answer. The people around would quickly get some distance, not wanting to involved with the brute. This man would walk right up to the nearby Ramen Bar, and shortly after, everyone else within scattered. Logan would trail from behind, a frown upon his face. It was the clear this man was dangerous, whomever he was. He couldn't ignore it, however. Should he contact the police force...or contact his team? He uncertain. But for now, all he could do was keep an eye of the situation.
Itsuki sighed slowly. He followed Nappa. he was always so forward. So was his energy. His whole damn people were built on the destruction of worlds and burning down nations. He understood that sometimes a sword would be needed instead of a knife. Nappa and Sally..they were the swords. They were the ones that would cut down anybody that stood in there paths and for that he was happy. He knew they knew their roles better than anyone. However, Nappa was making more of a mess than he thought.
Itsuki looked at Nappa and the destruction of the Ramen bar. Bodies were on the ground. Blood running from the people that Nappa had bullied, punched, thrown, destroyed. Nappa looked happy as he ate the Ramen stand to the death. Itsuki sighed as he placed his hand on Nappa's back. Nappa grabbed Itsuki by the arm and got ready to lifted Itsuki in the air.
"ah...Itsuki. What is it? Do you want one of these bowls of noodles. They call it Ramen. It's delicious."
Itsuki pulled his arm back gently and shook his head no.
"Nappa, Sally says this land will work. They don't use our energy. They use Chakra."
"What is Cha-kra?"
Itsuki shrugged his shoulders.
"I am not sure, it is probably similar to your Ki or my Spirit energy. However the Might Tree should grow fine. She is in some place called The Federation."
Nappa eats another bowl of ramen. He throws the bowl on the ground and he stretches his neck a bit and his fingers cracked. He nodded a bit as he was listening but it didn't matter to him. None of that mattered to him, but he respected Itsuki.
"I hear you Itsuki, but that doesn't matter to me. I am only here to destroy the people who stand in our way. You do understand that?"
"Yes... yes I do Nappa."
Itsuki only stood up and patted him on the back.
"Start a fire. Do what you do best... We are going to need time for the Might Tree to grow."
Itsuki licks his lips.
Nappa only laughed. He then points to the Ramen Stand owner.
"You. I am going to let you live. Because once I get through ******** up this little city of yours..I am going to need more of this Ramen."
Nappa stood up and he started to move his hand around in a circle. He pointed two fingers up to the air. As he stood there a large glow of white energy started to surround him. His muscles started to bulge out more and the earth started to quake. A bright globe of white energy surrounded his fingers and he only laughed.
"Make a scene riot ball!"
He threw the energy with little effort. The ball started to fly through the air with no sound. It was almost beautiful. The energy that could be seen glowing through the air like a meteor shower in the middle of the day. However it was just pure terror. pure evil. It was a monstrosity. As the energy spiriled through the air it picked up speed and crashed through the Kage Mountain. AT first there was silence. Then the explosion. The kage Mountain exploded into a million pieces. It rained down rock confetti. Nappa stood there looking at his work like a proud parent.
"Oh That was a fun little warm up. What's next?"
He laughed. The death and destruction that would come from him. He could only laugh at the thought of this.

Laharal: Chakratech Orphan Laharal watched as another man had joined the tall one, this one not nearly as directly imposing...but he had a nature around him that felt just as disturbing. Laharal took a deep breathe and willed himself to act. He pulled out his communicator, placing it in his ear. He brought his hands together to form a seal, focusing as he watched from behind a corner. Most of the civilians had quickly run from the violent scene. "I...I need help..." He whispered. "The...the ramen stand." He would softly say. And while the bigger one called the smaller one Itsuki, the smaller calling the larger one Nappa, conversing almost casually despite the scene, Laharal focused his chakra, as from the very air, black and clear materials formed around his forehead. Chakra Tech: Visor A visor formed across his face and over his ears, high tech looking, the material appearing dark from the outside, but was rather clear over his eyes. On the visor a small spiraling symbol lit up in the corner. "Loading" it read. Laharal quickly changed seals. Chakra Tech: CPU install programs He adjusted his backpack, glancing back and unziping the top zipper, revealing a small black box, lights flashing along it's form. CPU: Neural Link, Visor, Chakra The program in the CPU activated, and the second program transfered to the visor. The screen now read "download complete." Before him, the image adjusted, as flowing energy around his own body, once invisible, became seen to him, and the air around them was left with less dense clouds of it, and more concentrated over the bodies around the pair, particularly those still alive, and the ramen man behind the bar. Laharal, having finished his basic prep, he listened to them discuss chakra...apparently aware of it, yet not familiar with it. Of course, even more glaring, was the fact that he saw no chakra, not a bit of it, emenating from either of them. They truly had none. It's like they are from another world entirely....ki...spirit energy? The first he was unfamiliar with, maybe having seen the term in a book sometime ago, in a work of fiction. It had been descibed as having many of the same properties as chakra, though more focused on the body. And then the later, sounded like one of the components of chakra itself being made of physical energy from the body's cells, and then the mental and spiritual energies of the mind and soul. The fact that this man, too, showed no chakra, seemed to suggest he only used a pure form of that energy, not mixing it. Of course, this was just a guess. In truth, given that they might very well be from somewhere else entirely, they could be speaking of entirely different things. The conversation of the two would continue, one mentioning the "Might Tree" and a "She" in "The Federation." Could they be refering to hidden Federation? There was no chance to find out yet. Nappa, finishing another bowl of raman would declare his goal, and goal that sent chills down Laharal's spine. Itsuki urged Nappa on in that task for this tree they spoke of. I can't...let that happen. I have to do something. Yet, he remained frozen in place as Nappa declared his intent to the Ramen bar owner. The man stood up and raised his hand, forming a circle with two fingers in the air. A glowing light emerged from from them, the man's expansive musculature tensing, and tremors running through the ground all the way to Laharal, the boy's eyes wide. A sphere of energy floated there at his fingertips. Could this be "ki?" Nappa called the attack, launching it into the air. Laharal's head raised to follow it's path, as it flew silently. It accelerated into the distance, straight at the cliffside of the Kage Faces. After a short delay, and great explosion took place, and the mountain itself was shatter, strone crumbled to pieces flying out in every direction. Laharal was left in shock, his breathe held. Nappa called it was warmup, now, and Laharal shook there, knowing he had no means to match that level of power. Further panic could already be heard in the distance after the inital explosion.
But...what about the people...what about everyone, about the lives to be lost from that level of destruction, and suffering already caused. Come on...don't just stand here...do something. He urged himself, forcing his body to form seals. Chakra Tech: Launcher, Visor: Targeting. Around his right arm formed a device resembling a spring loaded launcher for a toy. Though, in truth, it was significantly more powerful, designed for firing objects at high speed. He pulled out one of his shields, strapped to his left arm.
Laharal loaded ten shurkien into the launches. These, however, weren't ordinary shuriken. They were made from unique materials produced by his abilities. They were quite a bit stronger than the normal steel variety, and actually sharp and strong enough to cut through their original brethren. With that, he turned to run, climbing the fence and moving around the alleyways. If he was to have any chance, he needed to pick his moment. He couldn't just step out and face them.
As she waited for a response, she noted that it took this unusual girl a few moments to really acknowledge her presence before smiling and staring a bit at her doll, a rather childish thing that didn't really suit a girl her age or height, the boots she wore didn't help either. This woman had a spear though and started to twirl it around before pressing a finger to her lips as if trying to say 'shhh', making Alice blink at first, however, after placing the pole arm on her back the woman then pointed to Alice and started to mouth her name before pointing at herself and then mouthing her own name is a very slow and deliberate manner to make sure even an idiot could understand what she was trying to say. Realizing then what was wrong, she smiling and nodded to the girl. "Betori. That's a very unusual name, yet elegant in it's own way." She commented, showing she understood as the other was about to point to something before stopping herself. She seemed to become lost in her own thoughts then, seemingly in deep thought for a bit, though Alice wouldn't want to pry, and noticed the girl's slightly confused body language. Given the lack of ability to really communicate, it was understandable that she wouldn't be very sure on what to do now, but Alice simply smiled and spoke again. "That's such a troublesome condition you have there Betori. But luckily for you, I've spent a good teal of time learning how to read lips and I am actually very good at it. If there's anything you want to say, just say it and I'll understand you." She told her rather plainly, though likely expected the girl to be near ecstatic at the fact that she had just met a person that would be able to actually communicate with her directly without need for writing or body language in the least.
