The Fox watched as Coda used her technique and changed into a falcon. The woman brought her clipboard once again and scribbled a few notes onto the paper as Coda off into the skies. Once her notes were complete, the clipboard was rested beside her waist once again.
From Coda's position in the sky, it would be clear that the forest was not actually as large as it may have seemed from the ground. It was truly only about a mile long and across in a perfect square. Quite obviously this forest hadn't been grown naturally in any way or if it was, it was created very carefully to be the shape that it was. The canopy of the forest however was completely covering anything that may have below it all the way across. Wherever the compound may have been, it would be hard to tell from this vantage point.
Whilst Coda was gathering this information, a pair of falcons suddenly broke from the canopy of the forest. The pair of falcons appeared to be heading straight for Coda. When reaching about 50 feet away from Coda, the birds would suddenly change their flight path. Their path seemingly becoming parallel with Coda's own. Perhaps they were watching Coda because Coda was in their territory or perhaps they were watching for the Fox or even they may have been spies of the enemy. If Coda were to decide to change her flight path, the falcons would follow suit immediately, never straying more than a fifty foot distance away from the recruit.

Coda held her trajectory for a moment, but she had to assume the falcons were some part of this rather than just reacting. The alternative was being put in a very disadvantageous position. Besides, it was clear her bid to scout the forest had failed to yield the advantage she hoped for, so there was no real advantage to staying aloft other than wasting time hoping to find intel. Either way, the falcons needed to be shaken off. A sudden tuck sent her hurtling towards an opening in the canopy about halfway to the center of the wooded area. She zipped through like a bullet, wings unfurling just in time to dart around a nearby tree and release the seal that held her form. She slid to a stop on a nearby branch, eyes searching for some sign of the falcons or anyone potentially involved with them. Not an idea use of the technique, but not everything worked. If the birds came across her here and it was a simple case of territoriality, then she'd be no worse for ware. If they weren't, then her position was already compromised anyways.
She wasn't about to wait for the birds to prepare for a fight though. A single held seal channeled chakra into her hands, time she spent examining her immediate surroundings. The last guy had triggered a trap, and she could be standing in one without realizing it. One of the hazards of such a swift motion. She also had to form a response to the other potentialities depending on what was going on around her. Luckily the limitations provided by the test proctor actually made the planning easier. It didn't really matter if there was a tamer, or a sensor like a Yamanaka in the group that allowed for their counter scouting to have worked purely by function of total perception, her limitations were the same. She tucked a note in the back of her head about potential strategical alterations to her original approach as she continued to carefully survey her surroundings.

The falcons seemingly didn't follow Coda once she broke through the canopy. However, as Coda was surveying her surroundings she would notice a woman walking along a tree branch on her hands almost like an acrobat. The woman truly wasn't that far from Coda. She was even looking directly at Coda as she balanced herself on both hands. "Hello little mouse." The woman would say with a smile before she disappeared behind another tree.
Almost as if they were commanded, the falcons broke through the canopy once again. Immediately the pair of falcons both sent a wave of wind at Coda.

It seemed that Coda's hopes for something along the lines of an intricate puzzle box of a trap were not to be. Instead she got some weirdo and the damn birds. Far less dramatic than she'd hoped for, and she couldn't exactly let loose here. But for the moment she had at least brought this particular confrontation into a level field of play. Flame engulfed her right hand, condensing into a ball. A swift motion sent it arcing to meet one of the falcons' attacks as her tattoos shifted formation. A fresh tattoo glowed on the palm of her other hand, intricate and angular, as she snatched the blast of wind from existence. If she was lucky the blast of fire would cook up one of the two pesky predators. That didn't mean she was in a position to go on the offensive though. Her Bakuton was basically out of the picture, and she wasn't about to go rushing blindly after a mostly unknown target without the close range deterrence it provided. While the katon technique certainly wasn't quiet, it was significantly more so than her normal open fighting style, and she didn't want the other targets to get antsy.
Speaking of which, she needed scouting again, a problem solved by a trio of bats flitting out from their spot in the new tattoo formation just under her left arm. They flitted about at a rapid pace, each with its own orders. One traveled on a path that best matched the longest possible vector she could come up with based on her initial scouting flight, as straight as possible. The second zipped around the trees wildly as it made its way a few meters beyond the point at which it was reasonable to see continuously. There it'd fly arcs through the forest, trying to find anyone else hiding in it and give Coda the potential to find the others before they found her. The last darted after the strange woman from before with a simple objective: fly directly into her face as fast as possible. None were very strong, they weren't meant to be, but Coda made another mental note about the potential of the little creatures to alter her initial approach.

Coda was certainly quick on her feet. So quick on her feet that the birds really weren't expecting the flame to overtake their wind technique. Something odd happened however, the birds almost didn't even bother to stop the flame from hitting one of them. It would be a rather unexpected thing, but as the flame struck the birds they would both explode into a large gust of wind that threatened to knock Coda out of the tree.
The first bat to be sent on a straight forward path would have a long way to go. Roughly three quarters of a mile before it would be able to reach the end of the designation. In the beginning of it's path it wouldn't find anything of significant value. It was rather clear that the entire forest was actually alive. There were plenty of animals running about and noises coming from every which direction. The second bat would fly around for awhile itself before it would find almost an open clearing. The canopy still covered the entire top of the forest, but somehow no trees had grown in this little area. As far as the bat could tell, there was nothing here. Further investigation would likely be needed for this area. The third bat would make its way to where the woman had disappeared, but no matter how hard it searched it wouldn't find any trace of the woman. That was until the woman suddenly appeared from behind the tree again, a couple hundred feet from where she had disappeared originally. "Gonna have to try harder than that mouse." The woman would say, once again walking on her hands and out of sight.
Wind Creature Explosion [ Kaze Ikimono Bakuha ] | Rank B x2 A deadly attack formed by modifying any wind created construct, clone, or dragon as long as it is semi-sentient and can act on its own. Upon its destruction, the wind that is used to create the construct suddenly explodes outwards with great force. The results can be deadly, especially to those around the clone, as only those with analytical doujutsu are capable of noticing the technique before its activation. In the case of multiple creations of a construct, this jutsu may affect all copies that it is paid for. (i.e three clones require paying the chakra three times over for each). Because this technique releases the wind used to create the clone this effect also has the added potency of potentially disorienting the target. If used against an airborne target this wind explosion may cause vertigo based on the rank of the original technique as opposed to this technique rank for up to two posts.

The wind was a bit on the unexpected side, particularly in that it seemed to ignore her flames entirely. A quick reaction with her bakuton allowed what could mostly be called an escape, her hands propelling her away such that she only caught the fading edge of the technique. Luckily the response of the flames to the force tipped her off that the attack was coming. It still required her to brace herself against a tree as she landed, peering around it to watch the woman again as her vision settled from the close call. Not ideal, as the crack of the explosion would undoubtedly alert any others in the forest. However, with the way this first target was moving around, it seemed likely there was some plan behind this encounter. Meanwhile, the first bat would be continuing its trajectory, with the second destroying itself upon finding something noteworthy, and the final redoubling its efforts to chase down the opponent.
The information allowed the Oinin prospect to draw a few more conclusion, but little else. Coda wouldn't totally rule out genjutsu - her opponent moved like a circus performer and the only shinobi the young Yozen had ever met fitting that bill all used the movements for other things - but it seemed unlikely. The question still remained, if that was the case, what exactly she used it for. The distance could be explained by a handful of things, all equally unconfirmable with the given information. Mokuton, body flicker, an elemental movement skill, complex fuuin.
Quite an interesting predicament. Chase an unknown target or scout a suspiciously empty clearing. Fight, potentially jeopardizing the mission by getting lured into a trap, or seek, potentially finding nothing or worse, find a trap having abandoned pursuit of a target. The rude fox had been quite specific in the focus of the mission, however. Rescue was the premise under which the action was occurring, but capture was the goal. Rescue without capture was as worthless to her as allowing the VIP to die or dying herself. It was vital that any response considered both information about her targets, their abilities, and how they interacted with the current environmental variables, as well as her own abilities, and how she might ne forced to respond by the actions of the others. There was still a wealth of information to be gained, and they'd already forced her to use her ignition release once. They also had no directive about what constituted acceptable escalations, as far as she knew. The only reasonable approach was to create pressure and try to force them to slip up and reveal something more valuable while she attempted to gather intel about the forest through more reliable approaches.
A handseal shifted the woman's tattoos once more as she prepared for her side of round two, her chest now sporting a single large bat and her shoulders a pair of sealing formula resembling Coda, but with crazy transformations covering her skin. Once again a tattoo pulled itself off the Chunin's skin and she began to transform a moment later. It was time things got a bit more aggressive. A larger, sturdier bat flitted out from behind Coda's tree this time, heading for the clearing chirping its echolocation. This one would be more suited to finding detailed information, or even bringing in one of the summons for scouting purposes. When Coda finally appeared from behind the tree, she looked like a different creature entirely; jagged stone ringed her head like a crown, climbing down elongated arms and finally transitioning into deadly claws that looked more than capable of turning normal taijutsu into a razor's kiss. She began her advance through the branches rapidly, following the bat's lead, intent on making sure the woman's next appearance was met with a response. Ideally her stingy application of chakra to this problem would pay off with a more clear understanding of how to continue, because her approach was currently unbalanced by function of necessity and things would need to kick off if she were to avoid being beaten purely via attrition.

The bat searching for its target would be searching for awhile. However, eventually it would find it's target. The woman popped out behind a tree and shot a gust of wind from her mouth at the bat. It wasn't a very powerful blast, but the woman figured it would be enough to get rid of the pesky creature. As the creature dealt with the attack, the woman would suddenly fade out of sight. Almost no time passed by the time she appeared close to Coda again. Immediately the woman formed a few hand seals and released a blast of wind from her mouth. If the technique were to hit Coda, it would raise her up into the air and throw her to the ground.
Meanwhile the bat going straight would eventually come upon what seemed to be a miniature castle. A wall surrounded a large building made of wood. There was 4 watch towers one each corner of the walls.
Great Breakthrough [ Daitoppa ] | Rank C After bringing a hand to their mouth, the user blows a large blast of wind while simultaneously using their chakra to greatly increase its oxygen count. The result is a highly flammable wind ninjutsu that, when paired a katon ninjutsu, gains a two-rank increase when used in a katon korabo instead of the normal one. Conversely, this jutsu also suffers a two-rank strength loss versus katon ninjutsu when used by itself. May only be korabo’d with up to a B ranked katon jutsu. When used with a katon technique this technique does not cost an activation to use.
Violent Whirlwind [ Ressenpū ] | Rank B The user performs a simple hand seal and blows across it to produce a powerful stream of wind from their mouth. If this stream of winds lands, in addition to dealing with it’s rank in damage the resulting attack is capable of lifting people or similarly-sized objects up into the air and preventing escape for single activation worth of time and allowing for a follow-up attack to find it’s mark. It is important to be noted that the opponent is by no means paralyzed and is capable of performing ninjutsu to defend themselves. As with most techniques, body flicker is also able to escape this technique.

Coda received three bursts of information in rapid succession as her layered adapting of plans finally turned up the info she required. It also gave her analysis a bit more information for refinement. The long range bat poofed back with a more significant point of interest and bat Coda immediately shifted her trajectory. Bigger and more powerful, this form would likely get her to that castle a bit faster. The trick she'd left behind and her other remaining bat relayed their details quickly after. The woman she initially encountered also showed little versatility beyond her chosen element as she blasted the copy cat Coda back to its place in her tattoo formation. It was unfortunate that she didn't get a chance to mark the woman, as the Seal of Ō-Inari she activated ticked to the halfway point in its duration, but it couldn't be helped. It was pointless getting bogged down in that fight when there was still a VIP to secure and two other combatants to find. She'd at least forced a bit of wasted chakra and ditched that particular hurdle for the time being.

The woman sighed when the realization struck that she had only hit some sort of clone technique. She really wasn't sure what she hit, but she did know it wasn't Coda. The woman took a moment to activate some sort of technique before looking around and disappearing into the forest.
Coda would have really no trouble at all finding the exact location while also getting there faster due to her bat like form. As far as she would be able to tell, everything looked exactly the same from what the bat had experienced. The 50 foot wooden wall partially obscured a large portion of the area it surrounded. That was except for the building it was protecting and the four watch towards that pointed toward each cardinal directions. Although due to the mission brief, it was unlikely that these watch towers were actually staffed with any people.

Coda flapped a few more times and rose up above the wall, circling around the watch towers and searching for a place to get in. Every now and again she chirped, searching the space with her echolocation. This was going slower than she expected, but there was no helping it.

As Coda rose above the wall, everything within the walls was much easier to see. On the north end of the wall, there appeared to be a large gate that could potentially be used for entry. However, it was also reasonable that Coda could just fly directly up to the building if she saw fit. As she went around the various watch towers, there wasn't much to be seen. Each of the watch towers held no guards of any sort and seemed mostly abandoned. With Coda's echolocation, it was clear that each watchtower had a staircase that lead to interior of the tower and to the exits at the bottom of each tower. There didn't seem to be anything notable other than that. It was potentially another entrance into the compound if Coda didn't want to approach the gate or fly directly to the building. The building itself had several windows on each side, some opened and some closed. The only clear doorways into the actual building itself would be found on the north and south ends of the building. Directly east of the building there was a small green house approximately 10 feet by 10 feet. Through it's transparent material, it was easy to tell that it was an upkept green house. For how upkept the green house was, there was a suspicious lack of people anywhere on the grounds of the compound.

The chunin figured it was best to get things over with while her most effective technique for solving this puzzle in the required fashion was still active. Besides, she was better in close quarters anyways and her ace in the hole would be far more effective pressing forward. Being too cautious had already dragged out one confrontation, and there was the potential for a bold course of action to remove the only wild card from the field of play. If the VIP was recovered, there'd be nothing stopping her from hunting however she wanted, within reason. A quick roll sent Coda towards one of the open windows and she shifted back to her normal self just in time to land on the side of the building. A quick examination satisfied her that there were no traps on the frame of the portal itself or just inside it, and she acrobatically swung through the opening a moment later - doing her absolute best to avoid contacting anything except her landing spot.

Things seemed rather bare on the inside of the house. There was no pictures on the walls, lighting, or any decorations. The house seemed to have little to no doors along the hallway Coda found herself in. Clearly the building was produced for utility as opposed to comfort. It was remarkably dark within the walls of the house, the only light coming in from the window Coda came from. That was until a single firefly flew into Coda's view at the end of the hall. Then another. And another until there was perhaps hundreds. However, they didn't seem hostile in any way as they danced around in front of the shinobi. More fireflies came and danced along with them. It was almost like the fireflies were putting on their own show for Coda as the beautiful light surrounded coda. The light almost provided warmth and comfort for Coda as it enveloped her. That would be until their flight pattern changed and they slowly formed a person in front of Coda. It was the fox. "You fail." The voice behind the mask would speak before placing handcuffs on Coda. The house would suddenly blur as more fireflies came from beneath the Fox's cloak. The fireflies quickly swirled into a spiral around the pair until they were completely surrounded. Strangely enough the light the fireflies gave off almost gave a glimmer effect in some parts of the cylinder they had created.

Coda was in the cuffs almost before she realized anything was happening. The fireflies were a strange bit of distraction, but they weren't her focus anymore. She was back at the tea farm again, a shinobi standing over her in the pale moonlight bouncing through the open window and illuminated the bindings on her wrist. The door flew open like it always did, and her father struck a blow he was always destined to. The sparks of the flames seeping through the thatch roof drew her attention upwards, and when it came back down everything was empty. Unsteady feet followed the trail of blood out in to the orchard while the flames turned the brilliant while petals black as they fell, like O-Inari himself had reached down from the sky and set the winter snow ablaze with the sheer intensity of his fury. She was sick of this place. Of how getting here was never her choice. The fireflies replaced the falling petals as Coda finished the familiar scene slumping to her knees, staring down at the cuffs as her hands pressed into the floor.
Back then, she'd had nothing except vacant expressions and ash. It had felt like the sky was smothering her with its emptiness as the sun peeked over the horizon. There was nothing to do but pick a direction and start walking. She had no idea how to seek out retribution, no plan, no concept of what she was capable of. The problem here was that, whether it was the Fox or one of the targets, Coda had something to reach for and knew exactly what she was capable of. Her mission was clear, it didn't really matter who got in the way - she'd been given no order to stop short of finishing it. It didn't hurt that her fear was that of something intimately familiar. The telltale seals of a curse mark began creeping out from between her lips, burning like ember even as the hands she stared at concealed the placing of a Yozen clan fuuin on the floor of the building. The lines coalesced into a pattern of black flames as the Chunin kipped herself up into a kick from her position, forming the hand seal necessary to release herself from the grips of the fireflies. Deciding it was in her best interest to not go blasting people through walls, Coda refrained from attacking with an actual technique while she still wasn't entirely sure of her surroundings. She had to give it to this test though. It was stressing her ability to manage her physical state. Compared to her little excursion at the gates of Zaishin, this was an eternity.

With Coda's kai came the disappearing of the fireflies and her return back to reality. Everything seemed the same as before, hardly any light and long hallways with barely any doors. As the shinobi walked through the wooden building, no sound could really be heard for the normal person besides the occasional creak from Coda's foot steps or from the wooden foundations settling. As Coda walked, eventually she would step onto a seal that would be invisible to the eye until it activated at her touch. The hallway would immediately be consumed in a large explosion, exactly like an explosion coda had heard previously before her turn on the course. Although for a shinobi of Coda's skill and body rank, the explosion was likely nothing she couldn't handle. As she was either defending against or dodging this attack, two figures appeared at the end of the hall and released separate attacks, one fire and one wind that combined into a single technique creating a large fire ball meant for Coda. It seemed that the guards within the building as set traps within the building for an ambush just like this. Both of the guards upon seeing Coda were a afraid of Coda's transformation. It was unlike anything they had ever seen before, but this would be hard to see through the masks that they wore.
