▰▰▰ |SHINOBI • INFO| ▰▰▰ • Shigeko, Tsukasa | E | Amegakure | Academy student | Bloodline | Medic | Steam Oni ”Hmmmgrhhmmmmm The Oni sighed out as she was instantly struck with buzz killing irritation, the Onis more casual and what could be considered friendly demeanour clearly taking an immediate shift toward that of annoyance. Shigeko rolled her eyes and straightened up to her full height look at Poppy for a few seconds with a rather deadpan but slightly annoyed stare, breaking the look to glance at Sute when she spoke up. Shigeko wasn’t blind and didn’t miss the armour transformation on the other girls hand before it had been released, which by itself spelled volumes of the distance between them… still she was an Oni. ”Thanks Sute… but you don’t need to get involved….. right then ********!, If yer tryna ********’ start somethin’ with me by them comments…. I’ll play ball.” She bluntly responded while glaring at her, tone irritated and serious as she felt like this girl was challenging her and regardless of their difference, Shigeko wasn’t one to back down from a challenge.(which can be said of most Oni really.)
OocsadI don’t like you bullying me with a stated character :p, not like its hard to provoke an Oni!!! Just want to beat yet another of my characters XD!!!)

▱▰▱When Satoshi stepped through the academy doors, an entourage of agents arrived. The teachers and other faculty of the building met with him in single file. "My Lord." They all spoke in unison and bowed as if they had seen a god. Their eyes reflected their complete awe of his presence. Some other people would arrive as well but they were clearly from the reclusive enclave of wealthy Sky Sector dwellers. "Only the strongest shall graduate from this academy and join our forces. With their power they'll protect the interests of their kage, ministers, and investors. May this lead to prosperous cooperation between the sky sector and my glorious regime. Worry not, your children will be certain for victory." From the way Satoshi was speaking it was clear that what was to come was quietly in the works for a time. A teacher would announce over the intercom as Satoshi would step into the courtyard of the education center with Soyeon now on his arm. Suddenly, Satoshi would snap his fingers in quick succession before conjuring an arena with multiple small doorway entrances leading from the academy into a tournament of sorts. The illusion grid allowed him to form an illusion based on his imagination. He led Soyeon up to the highest seating area where Satoshi sat down as the grand spectator. Yogen flew off Satoshi shoulder to lead Toso to a third seat behind the couple. Satoshi held her hand and enjoyed his front row seat with Toso a few feet behind him but still with good vision of the goings-on below. Yogen leapt from Satoshi's shoulder and would land on Toso's in order to keep him company. As Yogen did so, they could hear the instructor's voice giving instructions to the students over the intercom. "Children meet in the courtyard and step through the door that has your name on it. This is mandatory by the command of the great leader." Agents would lead the students who were corralled into the series of doors. The Amekage could see every student from where he was seated. Once the numerous students were gathered there would be another announcement from a well-dressed woman standing on a platform in the arena. "Welcome all students! You have been selected for the honor of demonstrating your skills that you've learned all year to the great leader, Lord Amekage." She then turned around and obsessively bowed multiple times to Satoshi and Soyeon who were seated on a protected platform above her. "We love you, dear leader! Our students are training so that they may fight for your glory!" Once she was done with her sycophantic display, she turned back to the students. "The glorious genius Amekage has instituted a new policy. From here on out, one of your requirements for graduation is to fight to the death. If you succeed, then you'll be able to become a shinobi. All students who die will be rendered unworthy of serving our new regime who will lead us to a bright and powerful future. Before we begin, supply yourselves in the Sky, Earth, and Cistern armories depending on your social class. Once you are done, return to your placement and then the games will begin!" The woman was immensely excited as she pointed toward the various armories that manifested from Satoshi's mind. Sky Sector students would gain access to the finest weapons and armor, Earth Sector students received brittle and weak weapons with no armor, and Cistern Sector students could choose between only basic ninja tools such as kunai. Once the students were done in the armories then they would be required to return to their stations and begin their matches. "Wow, your son's forcing children to kill each other for his amusement. You must be proud, huh pops?" Yogen squawked up as he sat with Toso and spoke hurtful words with a grimly mocking tone. His purple eyes then flashed with brief inspiration as Satoshi's crow eye did the same.
Weapon Specs ▰ Weapon Name: Kagekiken no Gensō [ 歌劇剣 の 幻想, Illusory Opera Sword ] ▰ Weapon Type: Cutlass ▰ Weapon Size: 27 inches long/1 inch wide ▰ Bukijutsu Classification: Medium Blade ▰ Weapon Weight: 3 lbs ▰ Stats Increase: +2 Agility, +2 Speed ▰ Elemental Affinity: Miasma, Fire ▰ Description: Kagekiken no Gensō is a haunted legendary blade that is infamous for "making fictions real" with a three-act drama that is based on illusory genjutsu and manifests as simple games. The first act represents a great hero who embarks on his journey but is forced to confront the darkness of his own psyche and that of his traitorous companions. The second act represents when the hero overcomes the betrayal and hides from the beast he was sent to kill. The third and final act details how the hero slays the beast, defeats the dark forces, and saves the kingdom. All genjutsu manifested by Kagekiken itself are holographic in nature meaning that everyone in its presence who detects the trigger including the wielder is subject to the rules of the play unless they release themselves. All performances are choreographed games meaning that there is a determined fate behind what occurs and it is not a gamble.Kagekiken has a dark blue katana hilt and bronze tsuba that deceptively indicates that it is a katana when sheathed but when unsheathed the blade is revealed to be a cutlass. ▰ Ability Summary: Act I: The Shadow Game [ Dai Ichi: Kage Gēmu ] | Rank X | Genjutsu [ Miasma ] | Cost [ Spritual ] ▰Category: Illusory ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: Touch, Sound ▰Base Duration: 10 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Acknowledging Miasma From Blade ▰Source: Holograms ▰Status Effect: Insanity ▰Description: The wielder creates a thick "curtain" of purple miasma generated through the blade. If the miasma is viewed, inhaled, or acknowledged in any other way then they are placed under the rules of Kagekiken's shadow game including the wielder, allies, and enemies alike. The shadow game is that anyone whose shadow is stepped on by another player becomes insane. One tier higher insanity compared to the rank of the genjutsu is applied to those whose shadow was stepped on. Players can hide in their shadow and shrink it down to half its size or grow it to double its size. The shadow of Kagekiken can cut the shadow of another to seemingly cause the same injury on their actual body. Those who lose the shadow game become more insane and susceptible to additional fictions. Act II. Hide and Seek [ Dai Nii: Kakurenbō ] | Rank X | Genjutsu | Spiritual ▰Category: Illusory ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: Touch ▰Base Duration: 10 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Acknowledging Violet Light From Blade ▰Source: Holographic ▰Status Effect: Mental Stress ▰Description: The cutlass is covered in haunting and blaring violet light that when acknowledged begins the second act of the opera. All players including the user start with the first tier of mental stress. Expending 10 chakra allows violet light to consume any player including the user and opponent to cloak them in invisibility. Using combat actions causes the hider to be revealed. Invisibility does not consume an action so players can weave in and out of invisibility with ease. When a player makes physical contact with another it makes the other player "found" and raises their tier of mental stress by one. The player that reaches the fourth tier of mental stress first loses the game and is affected by genjutsu at [1] sense higher for the rest of the battle. Act III. Make Believe [ Dai San: Itsuwari ] | Rank X | Genjutsu [ Miasma ] | Spiritual ▰Category: Illusory ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: Sound, Touch ▰Base Duration: 10 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Acknowledging Illusory Fog ▰Source: Holographic ▰Status Effect: Insanity ▰Description: A purple fog (can be substituted for miasma) originates from Kagekiken over the entire area (topix) and acknowledgment of the fog begins the game. Because of the illusionary nature of the fog, it can be blasted away but will cover the area immediately and seems to constantly replace itself. In the fog's denseness, there are passing phantoms of monstrous yokai. While in the fog, players can create [1] X-Ranked monster per post of their own imagination using their own chakra. The created monster can use basic combat attacks against another player's monster. When a player's monster dies a tiered amount of insanity based on the chakra rank of the monster inflicts the creator. If a monster harms a player's body they believe the injuries are real.
Poison Specs ▰ Drug Name: Yorujozo (夜の醸造, Yoru no jōzō, Night Brew) ▰ Drug Type: Poison ▰ Drug Tier: Legendary | Tier 4 ▰ Drug Form: Liquid | Gas ▰ Narcotic Description: Yorujozo is a violet alcoholic brew created by the Shadowfoot Tribe of oni who live in the black forest (Kuro Shinrin) of the Land of Fire. These oni are born with gray skin that turns violet from the amount of Yorujozo they consume. Regular consumption of Yorujozo can turn the lips violet while constant intake dyes the body's skin. Yorujozo is highly toxic and hallucinogenic. The Shadowfoot oni consider the liquid sacred because consumption of it gives them otherworldly visions which aid in deciphering prophecies, a central aspect of the tribe's culture. The brew is highly sedative as well and helps the consumer sleep while also delivering the typical effects of alcohol. The brew is made from the inky purple leaves of the black forest's trees. Newborn Shadowfoot oni are fed a single leaf to allow them to consume Yorujozo without harm. Those who ingest this rare leaf become immune to Yorujozo's toxicity while retaining the psychedelic and alcoholic effects. Yorujozo is a viscous liquid of violet coloring that flows like honey and creates illusory fumes. It tastes as foul as ink when it hits the tongue but has a sweet and pleasant taste when swallowed. It can easily be made into gas and applied to miasma techniques. Yorujozo when it poisons a target is highly sedative and reduces speed greatly. It causes insanity and intense hallucinations psychologically. Physically the poison turns the skin violet and necrotic while causing the eyes to shake and is intensely disorienting. The rare black forest leaves that are used to brew this poison can be used as an acutely efficacious antidote.
• Reduces speed by 8. • Subtracts 160 chakra and stamina from reserves. (If cured immediately, this effect does not apply.) • Continually Deducts 40 chakra and stamina until cured. • Because it is an oni brew all status effects are one tier lower in effectiveness against oni: • Insanity | Tier 4 ▱▰▱• Reduces agility by 8 until cured or the insanity-inducing genjutsu is dispelled. ▱▰▱• The caster can add [4] phantasms (sensory hallucinations) to any additional genjutsu until cured or the insanity-inducing genjutsu is dispelled. Cannot go beyond the [5] sense limit. • Disease | Tier 4 ▱▰▱• Bukijutsu and Taijutsu are 1-rank weaker. ▱▰▱• Increase the cost of all techniques by [40]. • Vertigo | Tier 4 ▱▰▱• Evasive maneuvers cost [80] additional resource. ▱▰▱• Shunshin can be used but are disoriented and cause the user to end up somewhere else, Shunshin and Kawarimi cause nausea reducing activation and additionally causes the user to fall on the ground.
Personal Attributes ▱▰▱ Crow Eye | When a young Satoshi looked through the lens of fate to see his prophecy, his right eye was taken as a price. This eye has been nicknamed his "crow eye" because it was cursed by the crow king Yatagarasu in exchange for the prophecy. This crow eye is connected to the eyes of Yogen, the personal summon of Satoshi who has been fate bound to his summoner. Satoshi's crow eye and Yogen's eyes will often glow in unison. The crow eye's appearance is a ghastly violet that glows when it is not covered by an eyepatch. When the sharingan is used through the crow eye it appears to have blackened sclera and glowing purple tomoe and pupils. When the crow eye is in use it causes throbbing headache pain and is more susceptible to blindness. Mangekyo skills used through the crow eye are reduced by [1] use before the blindness status is inflicted. For example, if a technique can be used twice before blindness happens then in the crow eye it could only be used once meaning that the eye goes blind faster. However, the cursed crow eye is maddening when gazed upon as when a genjutsu is cast through it the eye glares with extremely bright violet light and inflicts insanity equal to the rank of the technique. ▱▰▱ Demonic Shroud | When an E-Rank amount of chakra is applied to Satoshi's natural chakra materialization it becomes even more realistic and haunting. Viewing the fog acts as the trigger for genjutsu and counts as eye contact for sharingan genjutsu/hypnosis if his sharingan is active. Alternatively, if no genjutsu is cast then viewing the shroud merely causes first-tier mental stress or insanity. This is not a technique and does not cost an activation. ▱▰▱ Illusory Prowess | This attribute allows any and all genjutsu to be cast through eye contact with the Uchiha. In addition, the genjutsu cast in this manner have the sight sense added to them at C Rank body. At S Rank body, the user's genjutsu are given the chakra sense. Also, mental stress or insanity can be added to any genjutsu cast through eye contact for an additional fifty percent chakra cost. ▱▰▱ Genetic Palette | With intensive genetic therapy and strong blood, this character is able to possess more than one transplant. This allows the character up to two transplants total, of any of the three categories. Illusory Prowess: This attribute allows any and all genjutsu to be cast through eye contact with the Uchiha. In addition, the genjutsu cast in this manner have the sight sense added to them at C Rank body. At S Rank body, the user's genjutsu are given the chakra sense. Also, mental stress or insanity can be added to any genjutsu cast through eye contact for an additional fifty percent chakra cost. ▱▰▱ Get Thee Back into the Tempest | Satoshi is granted the wind element. ▱▰▱ Phantom Master | Satoshi is able to add an additional sense to the illusory images created by his signature style of Phantom Slayer and custom techniques based upon it for a maximum of [2] senses. The images are sight-based and thus always have that sense but [2] additional senses like touch and sound can be added. ▱▰▱ Amaterasu’s Cloak | All fire based techniques produced by the Uchiha are considered bloodline techniques.The flames are turned black and fire based techniques are reduced by 5 chakra per rank with a minimum of 5 chakra to be paid for a technique. For each rank of a technique, it's flames burn actively for one post or one additional post if a limit is given. ▱▰▱ Melee Prodigy | The user obtains a [1] point increase to agility while their sharingan is active for each body rank they have obtained. In addition, the user's first physical offensive activation every three posts gains a [1] point increase to speed per rank of their body, also requiring the eyes to be active. ▱▰▱ Mirror Master | Satoshi is able to add an additional sense to the illusory images created by the Mirror Image Art taijutsu style and custom techniques based upon it for a maximum of [2] senses. The images are sight-based and thus always have that sense but [2] additional senses like touch and sound can be added. ▱▰▱ Lore of the Crows | As a crow sage, Satoshi is able to read the ancient written crow language in the crow contract scroll and learn the secrets of their genjutsu. As a result, in combat, non-instance genjutsu cast by Satoshi in combat last for one post longer for no upkeep cost for each actively summoned crow on the battlefield (maximum of 5) as long as he is the contract holder. ▱▰▱ Violet Delerium | The user excels at Genjutsu that is used with the clan's miasma. The user gains 4 additional genjutsu per body rank. In addition, their genjutsu cast by using the miasma as a source or trigger may add an additional sense to the illusion. The user gains an additional 2 custom slots to be used for Genjutsu involving their miasma. ▱▰▱ Touch of the Boundless | The Uzumaki can create any and all seals, and therefore cast any sealing technique - no matter how intricate or complex - upon a single touch of their palm without handseals. This alternative method for Fuuin must still adhere to the alternative jutsu casting clause as chakra must still be gathered to accomplish a technique as a seal isn't instantly created. In addition, with one-touch and one action, the Uzumaki is able to summon up to three creatures from a contract for only the chakra cost of the highest-ranked creature summoned. ▱▰▱ Holy Conversion | For every RPC converted to the archpriest's religion they gain an endgame reward of their choice. The endgame reward can only be up to 2,000 XP in value. This PA is only obtained by archpriests and is automatically obtained once that title is granted. ▱▰▱ Plunder of the Vagabond | As a globally feared villain, you will forever be able to obtain Endgame perks with only three-quarters of the experience required.
“I see your powers of observation are about as strong as your smell.” Poppy spoke to the Oni. Her mouth made an upward twitch, which was the closest thing to emotion she’d shown since she got to the Academy. There was something about the taunting phase of a fight that she found enjoyable. Like just the right kind of sauce that accentuated the flavor of the meal. And it always made her victory that much sweeter. But before the two kids could throw down they were soon interrupted. The young girl soon found herself assaulted by a much younger child, wearing mostly purple. Sute’s positioning in the Junsei’s personal space made the stoic girl lean back. Poppy placed a hand on the child’s face and pushed her away by a full arm’s reach. “What? No, it’s my gum, get your own.” She said with mild irritation. “Anyway, it’s not mean if it’s true.” Poppy continued. She turned her golden eyes back to Shigeko and looked her up and down. “People like you need to be knocked down a peg or too. And lucky for you, it’s a service I happily offer for free.”
Just in time to keep Poppy and Shigeko from killing each other, a voice came from the intercom. Poppy tilted her head as she listened to the announcement before casually making her way to where she was told. “Looks like someone’s gonna beat me to it. Oh well, try not to die.” She said to the two as she walked away with a lazy wave. The gear that would be presented to Poppy was rather shitty, for lack of a better term. She made sure to grab a few shuriken and kunai pouches just in case, but the girl was more than certain this would be because she was from the Cistern sector. Not that it mattered; the young student wasn’t going to lose to anyone here. She’d been through this type of thing before. Once she was ready Poppy made her way to the arena for her fight.
Soyeon would saunter alongside Satoshi and Toso as the three of them would walk through the entrance of the academy. Like always, the faculty of the academy would line up to greet her beloved's entrance. Among them would be the village's upper echelon, all awaiting to see their children prosper in this first of many bloodsports to keep the village's forces at their peak condition. With a few simple snaps, a grand arena was constructed before the group's very eyes, conjuring what was to be the students' stadium of battle. The party ascended the stairs to the highest viewing so that they may catch the perfect view. She took her seat as did the other two and smiled upon feeling Satoshi's hand interlock with hers. "I'm hoping for a good show, darling." she cooed, her lavender lips perky while looking down at the announcement being made to their little soldiers below. They all crowded into the courtyard as the lot of them would be corralled into their respective areas to gear up for the fight ahead. Her golden eyes looked over to face Yogen as he would pester Toso, her own chicks rumbling around in her own boar that hung around her shoulders. "I have my eye on a few of the students here that may hold potential. So I apologize if I become too rowdy for your tastes, my Lord." Soyeon smiled so sweetly as Satoshi. For as refined an image as she would prefer to keep, the woman had her moments when she let her emotions slip out of her grasp.
Toso and the merchant went their sperate ways. What would become of the man who showed him self love was just as important as loving others would carry out no doubt the rest of antiquing career in Ame where he could die in peace within an illusory life. Toso himself following Satoshi would take his seat behind his son and while still not aptly described as such, daughter in law. Although if we were being semantic and legislative nephew and niece in law. He'd fold his hands on his lap and maintain a stoic expression. The same he always had with the faintest hints of what could be a half smile. Surprisingly Yogen would perch himself on his shoulder and begin some snide mockery. The two of them were always at ends with each other to some degree and it seemed that didn't change...or did it. "blooblooboo." Toso would laugh a forced laugh at Yogen's remarks. Only, this was not the forced laugh Yogen was used to that Toso often did toward his snide remarks in the past. No this was an almost unsettling forced laugh.
"Ah, Yogen there would have been a time that those words would have truly stung. However, as I've come to realize..." Toso's Ikakugan made itself known as the camera like lenses inside of them opened and closed like a shutter whilst his eyes remained entirely open. They would function like binoculars enhancing his perception of the goings on and focusing in on the 'faceless' children. "Despite how hard one may attempt to dissuade an individual the roots of this society, the enamor of the concepts of 'shinobi', they have been ingrained into the souls of these children. Ultimately they stake their lives here as their choice. They have the choice to flee. If they die from that choice they may curse their own weakness. As with every choice, comes consequence." Toso's focus would then shift to Yogen his eyes reflecting in the ex-Arashikage's artificial ones. While Yogen's shone with that of a follower of fates elaborate threads the squids would shine with an absolute vacancy and emptiness a veil of an unsettling nature, a fate impenetrable as it was indecipherable.
Then for once, the man who often preached that it was ones choices that defined an individuals path on not predetermined destiny he agreed with Yogen something that the crow likely never would have believed they'd ever agree with. "but I will agree with you on one thing Yogen there is an existence of a fate that is unavoidable. Our existences and all existences are ephemera. Forced to face the inevitability of the listless void, no matter the entropy that comes before it, whether it is predicated by fate or choice. All will end. All will cease to matter. When that is, is irrelevant. All surmounts to nill in the grander machinations of the enigma that is existence and even the gods which hold the strings of the mortal marionettes, too, will inevitably succumb to vacuous eternal void of nothingness. bloobloobloo." Toso would end this tangent of his the same laugh. This conversation with Yogen spoken quietly enough that amidst the raucousness of the arena it would have been difficult to hear from his position behind Soyeon and Satoshi but what could be drawn at least from first impressions was that the two actually seemed to be getting along.
Toso would continue to converse with the bird to such a degree it was almost jarring how much the beliefs of the squidman had seemed to change. Hand under his chin in deep thought he'd actually now defer to Yogen more of his feelings towards the concept of these children fighting to the death. To which Toso wasn't as silent but wasn't directly addressing anyone aside Yogen."Truthfully I see the merit in granting boon to Sato's supporters and the wealthier confidants as its almost a requirement to maintain proper financing for maintaining a village. However, if this was for entertainment, it would be a rather dull showing as I'm more for the unexpected type of showing. Yes, the privileged always coming out on top is a tale as old as time. No, what would truly be entertaining would be to have those born with the silver spoon in their mouths who were coddled in their youth be given nothing while the poorer of the lot were given the superior advantage. Doing so would reveal those with actual promise among the wealthy elite and sift out the pathetic who would weep the moment they lost their 'toys' in true battle all the while the typically disadvantaged no doubt high on their newly given edge could reveal those who have streaks of rebellion in them. Ah, and no doubt the grudges they have against certain families in the upper classes. bloobloobloo. Of course seeing someone from the dregs one up someone more well to do is always entertaining should it happen so I'll likely be keeping my eye open for those scenarios ideally. Honestly if this is what's typical of societal standards those in the upper echelon needn't even try less they wish to be executed. Which makes for a poor show indeed."

Once was enough, but twice? What was up with people and touching Sute's face? The girl seemed stunned as she was shoved away by the girl. 'The next b***h that does that is getting their heart ripped out.' Sute thought to herself as she stared at Poppy, her hands curling into fists. Almost at that exact same moment did the intercom buzz to life. "You just better hope you don't have to fight me, ********> Sute said in a certainly more deadly serious tone than she had adopted previously. "Shigeko did you see that?" Sute would say as she looked at the red girl again. "I stood up for myself just like you!" Sute nodded with a bright smile on her face. "You don't think.. that they're gonna kill us... right?" Sute said, minor tears welling up in her eyes as she got closer to Shigeko and gently held her hand. "I don't wanna die Shigeko..."
If allowed Sute would hang onto Shigeko all of the way to where they would have to separate for their individual doors. Sute would quickly get separated from Shigeko by the various other students and teacher's pushing them in the correct directions until she found her seat. Her hands rested in her lap as she watched the woman speaking to all of the students. Soon enough they were once again being corralled to various weapons and armor. 'This s**t is all bad. How are we supposed to fight with this?' Sute thought to herself as she sifted through the various items that were clearly the worst of the worst. Sute sighed and picked out some kunai that seemed like they might work as well as some senbon. 'They really want us poor people to die.'

T S U N E O - K U R O S A W A
A woman's voice rang through the intercom, drawing Tsuneo's attention from the scroll he was reading. A deep feeling of dread welled up in the pit of his stomach, as he headed to the courtyard as instructed. He initially thought of this place as a 'jail' for children in the disguise of a school. Having kept mostly to himself since he got here to avoid the clique-y nature of the classroom, he spent a lot of time reading, drawing, and learning. Never would he had thought that he'd have to fight another student to the death. He looked around, watching a majority of the children going along with the entire thing as if this were normal. Tsuneo started to wonder if any of them were even children at all, at this point. This leader, whoever they were, sounded absolutely terrifying to the young thief. You'd have to be some kind of monster to force children to fight for their lives.
To make matters worse, the armory was heavily favored towards students of the Sky Sector social class. Tsuneo took his items from the cistern labeled armory, supplying himself with kunai, shuriken, senbon, and steel wire. He tied a kunai to both ends of a lengthy piece of wire, and stored it on his hip. Observing some of the higher classed students walking out with better quality items left him worried. There was no doubt in his mind that the Amekage was trying to get rid of the Cistern class students. He didn't want to die, not here. Tsuneo had spent his entire life since his father was taken away from him, surviving. His eyes glanced towards the nearest exit, happened to be guarded by members of the police force. If he were to run, there'd be a chance he could end up dying anyway. He was brought here with a death sentence to begin with, and he knew that a few of the police members were watching him specifically for some reason. Escaping wasn't much of an option for him here.
Clutching his father's ring that he managed to steal back from the instructor when they weren't aware, he returned to his station. If he wanted to find his father, then staying alive was his only choice.

A lone Genin, who had been given the advantage of her superior breeding and wealth, stood not too far off from Tosokurui. His words on the ones with the advantage of the very things her family had used to get her the best education the Academy could offer, along with the best tutors, and a guaranteed win in her private exam stung her ears and caused her heart rate to increase slightly at his remarks. 'What could the lowborn bastards of the lower sectors really offer?', she thought as her Sakakugan eyes seemed to peer at the Hojo with great intensity. Who was this man to cast such doubt on the power brought on by superior upbringing? She intended to find out, but her tongue couldn't stay silent. "At the risk of sounding insolent, for which I will accept punishment, in this life we are taught that nothing is fair. We bite and claw with every advantage afforded us. We rip and tear at the weak, and consume the worthless so that we are stronger. Some are born at the apex, and some are just bottom feeders who sometimes get lucky...", Achana remarked with a slight paused as she inhaled through her respirator.
She was the daughter of the Sonozaki Family, a branch of the Kurama Clan that had settled and been accepted into the Sky Sector's upper crust for their wealth acquired through their skill in gambling, and the...less than scrupulous entertainment trade that they operated. Achana was raised with said silver spoon in her mouth, but she was not allowed the pampering that came with it. Once it became apparent that she inherited the Sakakugan, she was subjected to intense training and mental abuse in the effort to offer her up as a potent genjutsu weapon in service to whomever was in charge, which just so happened to be the Amekage at this time. It was her duty as a wielder of those potent eyes, and one she had been groomed to accept from since memory had found her mind.
Achana then looked back to Toso and over with whom he was speaking. It seemed evident she either needed the respirator or just liked it for some sense of fashion, or mayhap it was to filter out the smell of those around her. She did hate the scent of those from the Cisterns. "I am Achana Sonozaki, Genin, and my nindo is that 'If you're too stupid to survive, then you deserve to die.' ", She said in introduction.
Her eyes closed a moment as words of a challenge of sorts came from her mouth and through the respirator she wore, "... but, if it would interest you, and my Lord Amekage. I have a proposition of sorts. I would like to fight one of the low-born students that survives in a non-lethal exhibition. If they accept, the terms of the match would be simple... If I win, they will get down on their hands and knees, kiss my boot, and admit they're lowborn scum lucky to be alive. If I lose, then their family will be elevated to the Sky Sector Caste." She then offered over to Satoshi with a humble bow of her head before raising it back up to the Hojo with those strangely intense eyes. They seemed to be mirrors into a soul of hatred, confusion, and predatory intelligence. It was clear that Achana had been bred, born, and raised to be a living weapon...but, what would the neurosis inflicted by her own bloodline do in tandem with it? It was clear that the Genin seemed well-mannered to her superiors, even if she was also trying to impress a future instructor and also gain the favor of their Village's Kage.
▰▰▰ |SHINOBI • INFO| ▰▰▰ • Shigeko, Tsukasa | E | Amegakure | Academy student | Bloodline | Medic | Steam Oni The short and dangerous seeming ones provocation was most definitely working, the fingers of Shigekos hands flexing and tensing the fingers before balling one hand and beginning to grip the edge of the desk she was beside with other hand, the fact she was about to react very obvious by the long exhale she made that growled from the back of her throat. Shigeko stayed silent for a few seconds as Poppy responded to Sute with blunt refusal and an unneeded push, voicing her refusal to go back on what she viewed as true, voicing her enthusiasm to such activities as cutting the arrogant silver spoons of the village down to size. This all mounted to push Shigeko well past her point of restraint, this little punk knew nothing about Shigeko and how her life was in this village, her class was almost nothing more than a pretty label to keep her safe and protected until she was ready and of age for her so called adoptive “father,” and only stood with her head held high for the sake of her pride as an Oni and for her own mother sake, for this she was ostracized but low and high class people of the village and it was exhausting and infuriating.
The table she gripped slid away and flipped over onto its side as her voice beginning to raise and her posture readying to step in toward Poppy ”Yeah? Well I’ll be happy to give you your opportunity then little f…hmm???!?..” Her words and actions were cut short in their place from the sudden and unexpected announcement that began to play out for the entire school. As much as she wanted to act on the white hot agitation that was out pacing her buzz as this point, it seemed that she could not as the entire body was being summoned to the courtyard. The snide comment from poppy was met with little more than a sneer, Sute choosing to throw the verbal closer on this interaction with surprising fire which was almost didn’t fit her age and was rather brave in her eyes. The adoption of the Shigeko style insult was a bit unexpected but she was to annoyed to feel like she’d taught the girl something bad, reaching a hand out to par her shoulder and praise her enthusiasm. ”Yes you did! Very brave of you! Still, don’t fight with her until you are stronger… I prolly couldn’t match her by the looks of things…. She sighed as she spoke honestly, clearly annoyed but trying to not aim her irritation at Sute unintentionally, also adding in some likely sound advice at the end as she followed the young girl to where they were called.
The first thing Shigeko noticed that had to be a result of the recent changes in the village would be the announcer woman, she was little more than walking piece of propaganda in Shigekos eyes and she rolled them as a result. She wasn’t totally against the direction things seemed to be going in the village, though the propaganda gave her the same feeling of a pushy salesman, Shigeko didn’t like pushy salesmen. This roll of the eyes didn’t manage to hit completion as any expectations she had of the woman’s words were blown out of the water, her alcohol heated blood immediately turning to ice as she basically flinched and a look of concern combine with disbelief crossed her face, brows furrowing. A small sound from her side as something just as small took a hold of a squeezed Shigekos hand took her out of her own mind, her head turning toward the young girl and firmly but gently squeezing the girls hand in return. ”I…I’m afraid to say that I think they are serious… but they won’t just kill us Sute. She said with momentary hesitation, managing to sound certain by the end of the sentence for any assurance that would bring.
She turned the smaller girl toward herself to look the girl not half her age to look her in the eyes and squeezed ”You are brave and seem talented, the feelings you had when standing up for yourself, you will need those… but don’t forget to think either…. If you can be smarter than them you can defeat someone bigger or stronger… I don’t know you well but I know you can do it.” She told her with the same certainty her mom used on her, hoping that Sute would be able to take some sort of solace and heart in this dead end feeling situation. Trudging like this was the green and keeping Sute close until the option was no longer possible, sent to where her classes equipment was located, stressed totally sober by this point. Her thoughts were swimming and she felt slightly nauseous as she looked at and impulsively grabbed a bullet proof jacket and put it in on beneath her hoodie, some light gloves and a sword, unaware they had gone as far as supplying enchanted equipment, the weapon holding fire property. The Oni walked out with the other students, almost in a daze as she went as she balanced her morales on a scale in her head…. this job she took required death, so if it was to prevent the other fate that had been set up for her then Shigeko believed she could push herself to doing this. She just needed to do this so she had a real future and so she would, hands gripping tight as they could from the stress, though she kept her passive expression well in check, besides the fact that she now was unwilling to meet any of the other students near hers eyes anymore.
He was late...well late enough. But honestly...who cares? Yoshiyuki sure didn't as he strode into the academy with a smug smile on his face. He always knew he was better than most, but recent events only served to prove exactly that. He didn't waste any time dawdling either, as he made his way quickly through his given door. Although even so, the moment he had made his way into the Academy he was already able to hear the new announcements. A fight to the death and sector based armories. Moving through the given door he was assigned he would emerge and make his way towards the Sky Sector armory quickly. He ignored the other students for the time being, it wasn't that big of a deal to him they were there. A laugh escaping his smug fox-like smile as he would almost immediately not even take any of the weapons from the armory. He cared not for them, he didn't fight with those sorts of things. He would simply move to his place where he would wait to be told he could proceed with his fight.
"Bloobloobloo." The former Arashikage laughed dryly from the genin's introduction. Up until the point of her introduction however, did it seem though, that Toso neglected to acknowledge her presence. This wasn't an aura of condescension. No that would be easily detectable by someone raised by the staunch upper crust who was exposed to it every day. No, rather it was an aura of irrelevance. An aura that while silent screamed 'you are nothing.' Not 'you are nothing to me' but simply that 'you are nothing'. Accolades, upbringing, and efforts irrelevant. A hushed statement of 'your nothing more than a face' like all of the other faces in this arena. When she then addressed Satoshi about her proposition and would gaze at the Arashikage's blank expressionless irises that would cast a reflection of the girl back at her they'd blink like a cameras shutter or a reptile again...that was when the former Kage's head tilted and a invisible pressure that would appear to only be coming down on Sonozaki was summoned. As if the rooms very air had become heavier, staler, for Sonozaki alone but this was simply just the clear gap between the genin and the ex-kage becoming more apparent. Something difficult to overlook but still vastly incapable of being ignored. Toso's almost alien looks also did no favors for this sudden pressure that may border on fear for the weak willed and even make the strong willed flinch slightly. What truly made this pressure even more significant was the now clear look in the artificial eyes and stoic expression that said 'I could kill you now and while it may mean I die to in the long run and my son disowns me I honestly don't care.' the eyes of a man with nothing to loose and had abandoned questioning themselves when making a decision. If the decision ever became 'I feel like killing you now.' There would be no iota of doubt he would, without any good reason what so ever.
Toso had garnered neither fame nor infamy during his time as the Arashikage which only would add to the great unknown that was Toso himself. Despite his innovations the progress and strides he had made, he was only referred to by his title of 'The Arashikage' and kept it that way by making himself as scarce as possible. One part out of privacy the other part due to lack of time for introductions being a self appointed slave of the people...but that was all said and done now. Like a monstrous creature confined to the deepest darkest pits of the ocean being freed from its bindings was the ex-Arashikage and he was much enjoying this newfound freedom. Toso's chakra manifested slightly. Emanating tendrils from all sides with the slow opening of the menacing eyes of a squid from behind his head it was enough to accentuate that feeling of a gap between them even further. It was then the following off-putting scenario happened.
While Sonozaki bowed and looked to Toso who had now met her gaze the mans neck would elongate bearing similarities to a douheki clansmen and other people who fancied serpents. Only, here it was more akin to a rokurokubi's demonic vibes rather than the distrusting allusions to a snake but in either case unsettling regardless. His head would become level with hers only it tilted slightly as if to imply a feigned sense of, confusion? "Punishment? bloop? From me? Perish the thought." Toso's neck would then straighten from its tilt then begin recoiling back until all was normal again. He'd speak but his attention forward. He'd pet yogen then have his hands return to his lap. "You're already punishing yourself more than enough. bloop. As I see it..." Toso paused as his eyes transitioned back to those in the arena whilst almost seemingly akin to dismissing Achana again. "The worthless are perfectly capable of ripping, tearing, and consuming their self on their own. bloobloobloo...it makes me wonder how many years have you lived for someone other than yourself and to what ends could you have spent that time doing something far more fulfilling..A..Cha.Na?" based on the tone of Toso's question and his fixation on the arena there hence, it seemed he didn't rather care if he received an answer or not, almost as if it was rhetorical in nature or if he was more so asking that question not to find an answer for himself but rather for Sonozaki to find her own answer especially emphasizing each syllable of the girls name. As if saying 'is that even your name?' of course it was...wasn't it? Toso was projecting his lack of knowing himself and who he truly was unto Achana asking her without it ever coming out of his lips 'do you know who you are?'
Toso would then chime to Satoshi if he was still debating on the girls proposal. To which perhaps Achana would find it affirming that the ex-arashikage vouched for it...or not. "I would consider you allow miss Sonozaki's proposition. It would certainly be interesting by all means. bloop. I'd say she seems quite confident in her abilities, perhaps give her opponent a slight edge like that I mentioned with Yogen earlier. After all, its highly unlikely she'll lose to someone lesser than herself regardless, yes? bloop. Of course, to lose would lead to a potentially irreparable reputation of not only the upper-class but her family name. Such is an admirable thing for miss Sonozaki to wager. So bold a challenge, to decline it or to back down from it now would be most disheartening. Perhaps make a spectacle of it. Instilling a hope in the lower classes that even they could become an elite despite the unlikelihood" based on how Toso always spoke in the same droning tone by default it was hard to tell if he was being facetious or intentionally looking to shake and or make Sonozaki's life harder. His word choice made it seem deliberate but his presentation made it seem blasé as if he didn't care either way. A single one of his artificial eyes moved towards the corner as if to gauge the kurama's reaction.

tab Within the walls of the education center, Otawaru sat alone in one of the many target ranges scattered about the grounds. "Bor-" he lose the kunai he'd been twirling in his hand, watching as it joined the dozen or so other kunai that he had previously thrown "-ring." Letting loose a heavy sigh, Otawaru closed his eyes and allowed himself to fall flat onto his back. In the distance, he could hear the voices of several other students speaking with one another, but ultimately, he paid them little mind. After all, there was only so much entertainment that could be found in watch pigs squabble with one another while mucking about in their own filth. 'Man. When is something interesting going to happen in this place?' he wondered silently.
tab As if some omniscient being had heard his prayers, Otawaru was pulled from his melancholy by the sound of the school's intercom. Apparently they were all to gather in the school's main courtyard and find a door with their name on it. On it's own, this announcement didn't seem all that interesting, but when it was made aware that this request came at the behest of the Amekage, that peaked Otawaru's interest. "Wait. Is the Amekage actually here?" Intrigued by the possibility, he waisted no time and quickly made his way over to where they had been told to gather. Sure enough, when he arrived, he saw the Amekage was indeed with them. 'Finally. Something interesting to shake things up." he thought. After all, the Amekage was a busy and important figure in the village so for him to come to the school in person, there had to be something big going on. Just thinking about it brought a devilish grin to Otawaru's face.
tab Listening as further instruction was given, Otawaru was pleased to find that his suspicions had been correct and then some. 'Oh yeah. About time we got some real action in this place.' While a fight to the death may have been intimidating to some, Otawaru was all too eager to test his mettle against his classmates and he was exceptionally confident in his abilities. He just hoped he'd get to fight one of the swine from the cistern sector.
tab As he was told, Otawaru made his way over to the armory designated for those from the Sky sector and took stock of the inventory. Unsurprisingly, it filled to the brim with all manner of armaments, from simple throwing knives to elaborate armors, anything one could possibly want could be found. Of course, this was to be expected. After all, it only made sense that the most worthy students should have access to the highest quality equipment. Still, even with all the amazing options available to him, Otawaru was careful to pack lightly and not overload himself. His greatest asset had always been his speed and agility, so carrying too many items would just slow him down. Thus, he settled on a single pouch of kunai and a pair of kukri knives. Oh yeah. These'll do just fine.' he thought with a devilish grin, allowing himself a moment to feel the weight of the knives before holstering them to his sides. Satisfied with his equipment, Otawaru then made his way over to his designated door, eager to begin the exam.
Chakra :: 100 / 100 || Stamina :: 200 / 200 ||Jack-Jack|| E-Rank || Academy ||Profile
The pitter patter of bare feet upon wooden floor. A small child entered late, eyes cast down but poise impeccably straight, the habits of an upper class upbringing. The umbrella she had used to avoid the ever present rain on her walk to the facility was swung down with a soft swish and shaken then closed. Holding this umbrella in two hands, horizontal to the ground, the little girl's light blue eyes raised to observe her surroundings.
She looked to the left.
She looked to the right.
She looked back down as she realized the obvious, her thoughts mumbling out loud, "Ah, Lica really is late... Did Lica miss the announcements?". She looked back up, searching to try and figure out what needed to be done. Doors, plenty of doors, some had symbols of the different sectors, some had names. "This is Lica's door, Lica thinks," she muttered as she walked to the entrance marked with her name, only to pause and turn, instead, to the armory marked for Sky Sector students, "But let Lica check there first."
With loosely clenched fist over her mouth, Angelica peered among the various pieces of armors and weapons made available for the Sky students. The simplest, she understood. Others, like gauntlets with senbon launchers hidden within, she didn't quite. Nonetheless, she didn't touch any of the pieces that lay before her. Only watched. She didn't want to get a scolding for touching something with her filthy hands.
To either side of her, sky sector students like her were choosing and outfitting themselves. A number, like her, knew exactly what would happen from their parents. The privileges of those worthy. Not a few were making fun of the earth and cistern sector students for their unfortunate lot in life. This was how a noble member of the sky sector should act. It had always been like this. All that changed was that, with the change in leaders, ruthlessness became only more acceptable. It didn't take much for surface civilities and niceties, only the thinnest of veils to imitate the notion of ethics and morals, to be discarded.
This was how she should act, as a member of the sky sector. This way, she would bring pride to her family and maybe, just maybe love and approval from her family, so that she never has to see a needle. Having seen enough, Angelica retreated from the sky sector's armory and made her way to the station with her name.

✘location♦ Just walking on the streets for now ✘company♦ No one right now ✘feeling♦ Refreshed ✘status♦ It had been a fairly mundane day for the young Amaya, having slowly started to grow used to life in the Rain Village after the last Page would have given his successor before throwing himself off of that building. She would waste the day away, idly scribbling doodles into her notebook while Hungern would lean against the side of her desk, his single eye closed in a peaceful slumber. Ugh, she wanted to do anything but to sit in class all day. She'd much rather be out and playing with her friends or getting something to eat with her trusted black hole of an umbrella. So when it came time for an announcement that required all of the kids to go to the central area of the academy, she was quick to wonder if anything was the matter. Amaya got up and took Hungern while the rest of her class would be taken away to their meeting. There, the Amekage would summon forth a grand coliseum for whatever it was that they were going to be taking part in. She was about to ask before it was given straight to her
"To the death?" she asked to nobody in particular. "So this isn't like our other fights then?" Now the stakes were getting somewhere. She could have a real battle with another person then! Maybe even see what Hungern could do after his little licks and whipping his tongue around. It would have to do, considering that Amaya herself wasn't really one to be paying the most attention in class. Especially to genjutsu things. They were so boring and long winded. She's much rather just do a cool move with something else. But for now, Amaya would wander off into the poor sector and equip herself with the best she could find there that wasn't taken.

▱▰▱The arena's seats were quickly filling once the Amekage sent out his announcement via the Illusion Grid's mass communication systems. Parents of all sectors filed into the seats with the Sky Sector having their own segregated luxury booths just beneath the Amekage's section. The Sky Sector parents were calm and assured that their children would make it through and thus got to enjoy themselves with delicious hors d'oeuvres and intoxicating alcohols. They were not hypnotized and the more adventurous among them would enjoy the attention of exotic dancers. The luxury and disgusting level of decadence in the Sky Sector's booths was truly a sight to behold. The Earth Sector families were thoroughly hypnotized and sat in most of the standard seats. Satoshi was pleased to see them under the effects of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. This was the only way that any parent of Amegakure would allow their child to either commit murder or be victimized by it. The Cistern Sector audience also arrived in the nosebleed seats and were thoroughly hypnotized as well. Most of their children were certain to be killed but they did not seem bothered by it. The Crow Eye acted as the radiant Sun above them all and continuously controlled most of the citizens of Amegakure. The purple Sun had a hypnotic quality as violet rays of sunlight turned the dark, rainy clouds purple. He looked at Soyeon when she spoke to him. The Amekage smiled sinfully at the statement that she might become rowdy during the bloodsports. He leaned in and bit her earlobe before whispering under his breath. "I like when you get like that." He then released her ear from his teeth before looking out over the stadium. The children were marching into the armories according to their social class. Satoshi derived pleasure from the life or death amount of power that his new position in the world afforded him.
▱▰▱Yogen was surprised by Toso's new disposition. He was somewhat disappointed that he was unable to get a rise out of the Nidaime Arashikage as he would have years ago. He got himself more comfortable on Toso's shoulder as he opined about his new philosophies. "Thanks for the dissertation." Yogen yawned as he lowered his head in exhausted boredom. "Show my father some respect, Yogen." Satoshi chastised his personal summon as he turned away from Soyeon and moved his head around so that he could look at Toso and Yogen. Yogen responded crudely before squawking out another laugh. Satoshi rolled his eye and ignored his crow by listening to Toso. "Aye, but perhaps it's the opposite. What if the Sky Sector students turn out to become the elite soldiers because their families have the wealth to afford them advanced training?" The Amekage responded with a question of his own as he wondered at the possibilities. Toso did raise a point that Satoshi would heed though. The only segment of the population that could threaten his authority would be the elites and perhaps this would be one way to keep them under his thumb. When Achana arrived and spoke to the group of village leaders, Satoshi tapped his chin. Certainly, Toso seemed on board with the idea but Satoshi had to put some thought into it. "And what happens if something goes wrong? What if some powerful Cistern urchin cuts you down and you don't survive? Then I'd have to deal with the ire of your family on top of elevating someone from the trenches. What's your contingency for that?" The Amekage seemed far more opposed to the idea than he actually was. He determined that Toso made a good case for it. Satoshi just enjoyed poking any possible hole in another person's plan purely for his own manipulative enjoyment. The Prophet spent very little time worrying about contingencies as he believed that if he just followed his fate that all events would unravel accordingly.
▱▰▱A siren blared as a list of names were read off. These were supposed to be the first round of battles that were selected randomly from the hundreds of enrolled students who had just finished supplying themselves in the armories. Among the dozens of names that were read for the first round of battles were Sute, Shigeko, Tsuneo, and Otawaru. All other students were sent to the spectator boxes until their names were called. This first round of students would have to fight to the death and once they were done then the survivors were dismissed from the tournament and could wait for it to end in the academy. Once the games were to begin, the students would be sectioned off into their own spots in the tournament. The fighting pits for Sute, Shigeko, Tsuneo, and Otawaru were easily visible to each other through transparent but powerfully reinforced walls.
▱▰▱Shigeko would have to walk through a tunnel before standing out in the center of her section of the massive arena. She could hear the reactions of the audience and see that there were many other matches occurring at the exact same time, including Sute whose fighting pit was adjacent to her right and separated by a transparent wall. Suddenly, a door would open on the other side of the arena in her pit and revealing her opponent. A young girl who was roughly eight or nine years of age would gulp and timidly step out onto the platform. This was Shigeko's opponent as the arena locked down around them and proctors monitored the match, there was no escape. The young girl would be familiar to Shigeko as she was a poor girl from the Cistern Sector that Shigeko would have seen and even helped before. The girl had absolute terror in her eyes as she looked at the much older girl that she was meant to her. "H-hi Shigeko. It's me, Yuna. What...what do we do? Please...I-I don't wanna die..." Tears rolled down her face as she expressed her hesitation to fight. Yuna was raised by a loving but intensely impoverished family who worked in the village's sewage plant. She was wearing her best school clothes but Shigeko could tell that she was still dirty. The young girl kept balling as she tried to run back toward the door. However, her small steps were ceased when two shinobi proctors threateningly raised their katanas at her. With nowhere else to turn she looked over at the audience and saw her parents in their seats. "Mommy please! I can't do this...she's so much stronger! I'll...I'll die!" She continuously pleaded but her family simply looked passed her and clapped their hands in hypnotic encouragement. When her pleas no longer worked, Yuna wiped away her tears and regretfully raised her kunai before running toward Shigeko.
▱▰▱When Sute stepped onto the platform to begin her fight, her gaze would be met by Junichi from the Earth Sector. Junichi had an empty gaze and appeared as a typical middle-class boy in Amegakure. He was fourteen years old and far older than Sute. He hypnotically raised his katana at Sute. He applied chakra to it and it was clear that he got this weapon from the armory. "Listen here, you Cistern trash! You'll be the first enemy I claim on my path to serving Lord Satoshi!" He shouted before charging toward her and slashing his katana at her chest (E-Rank spiritual sword strike). It was clear from his statements and his gaze that he was thoroughly hypnotized by the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Junichi's parents owned a ramen restaurant in the Earth Sector and ever since the Illusion Grid came online he desired to serve the Amekage to an obsessive degree.
▱▰▱Once Tsuneo would enter the ring he would immediately see his opponent standing across from him. Nezumi was a specter of Tsuneo's past as he was an Earth Sector boy who often helped Tsuneo steal from local businesses. Unlike Tsuneo, this boy had no real need to steal beyond his enjoying the thrill of it all. "Hey dude!" He shouted from across the arena as he twirled a dagger in each hand. He was excited to see his fellow thief as his opponent. He was perhaps too brave or too stupid to truly comprehend the gravity of the situation. Once he approached, he would perform an underhanded but playful attack with his daggers.
▰ Assisted Jab | Rank E | Complex x2 The user utilizes chakra to enhance their movement speed by 1 when executed C rank and below and when used at any rank above that increases by 2 points. . The user strikes at the opponent with the hilt of their knife with such force that it catches them off guard, slowing them their next post by reducing their activation count by 1.
Once Otawaru walked out he would see the student he was matched up against across from him. Otawaru would see a quiet and withdrawn as well as impoverished student across from him. His name was Ryunosuke Ido and he wore extremely dirty rags. His face was worn down by cruel poverty in the Cistern Sector. He was filled with fear as he realized that he was facing a student that he recognized as being from the Sky Sector. He knew that this could only mean certain death for him. Ryunosuke was too fearful and shocked to cry or even to take the first move. He waited quietly to see that Otawaru would do next.

The third and final act details how the hero slays the beast, defeats the dark forces, and saves the kingdom. All genjutsu manifested by Kagekiken itself are holographic in nature meaning that everyone in its presence who detects the trigger including the wielder is subject to the rules of the play unless they release themselves. All performances are choreographed games meaning that there is a determined fate behind what occurs and it is not a gamble.Kagekiken has a dark blue katana hilt and bronze tsuba that deceptively indicates that it is a katana when sheathed but when unsheathed the blade is revealed to be a cutlass. ▰ Ability Summary: Act I: The Shadow Game [ Dai Ichi: Kage Gēmu ] | Rank X | Genjutsu [ Miasma ] | Cost [ Spritual ] ▰Category: Illusory ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: Touch, Sound ▰Base Duration: 10 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Acknowledging Miasma From Blade ▰Source: Holograms ▰Status Effect: Insanity ▰Description: The wielder creates a thick "curtain" of purple miasma generated through the blade. If the miasma is viewed, inhaled, or acknowledged in any other way then they are placed under the rules of Kagekiken's shadow game including the wielder, allies, and enemies alike. The shadow game is that anyone whose shadow is stepped on by another player becomes insane. One tier higher insanity compared to the rank of the genjutsu is applied to those whose shadow was stepped on. Players can hide in their shadow and shrink it down to half its size or grow it to double its size. The shadow of Kagekiken can cut the shadow of another to seemingly cause the same injury on their actual body. Those who lose the shadow game become more insane and susceptible to additional fictions. Act II. Hide and Seek [ Dai Nii: Kakurenbō ] | Rank X | Genjutsu | Spiritual ▰Category: Illusory ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: Touch ▰Base Duration: 10 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Acknowledging Violet Light From Blade ▰Source: Holographic ▰Status Effect: Mental Stress ▰Description: The cutlass is covered in haunting and blaring violet light that when acknowledged begins the second act of the opera. All players including the user start with the first tier of mental stress. Expending 10 chakra allows violet light to consume any player including the user and opponent to cloak them in invisibility. Using combat actions causes the hider to be revealed. Invisibility does not consume an action so players can weave in and out of invisibility with ease. When a player makes physical contact with another it makes the other player "found" and raises their tier of mental stress by one. The player that reaches the fourth tier of mental stress first loses the game and is affected by genjutsu at [1] sense higher for the rest of the battle. Act III. Make Believe [ Dai San: Itsuwari ] | Rank X | Genjutsu [ Miasma ] | Spiritual ▰Category: Illusory ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: Sound, Touch ▰Base Duration: 10 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Acknowledging Illusory Fog ▰Source: Holographic ▰Status Effect: Insanity ▰Description: A purple fog (can be substituted for miasma) originates from Kagekiken over the entire area (topix) and acknowledgment of the fog begins the game. Because of the illusionary nature of the fog, it can be blasted away but will cover the area immediately and seems to constantly replace itself. In the fog's denseness, there are passing phantoms of monstrous yokai. While in the fog, players can create [1] X-Ranked monster per post of their own imagination using their own chakra. The created monster can use basic combat attacks against another player's monster. When a player's monster dies a tiered amount of insanity based on the chakra rank of the monster inflicts the creator. If a monster harms a player's body they believe the injuries are real.
Poison Specs ▰ Drug Name: Yorujozo (夜の醸造, Yoru no jōzō, Night Brew) ▰ Drug Type: Poison ▰ Drug Tier: Legendary | Tier 4 ▰ Drug Form: Liquid | Gas ▰ Narcotic Description: Yorujozo is a violet alcoholic brew created by the Shadowfoot Tribe of oni who live in the black forest (Kuro Shinrin) of the Land of Fire. These oni are born with gray skin that turns violet from the amount of Yorujozo they consume. Regular consumption of Yorujozo can turn the lips violet while constant intake dyes the body's skin. Yorujozo is highly toxic and hallucinogenic. The Shadowfoot oni consider the liquid sacred because consumption of it gives them otherworldly visions which aid in deciphering prophecies, a central aspect of the tribe's culture. The brew is highly sedative as well and helps the consumer sleep while also delivering the typical effects of alcohol. The brew is made from the inky purple leaves of the black forest's trees. Newborn Shadowfoot oni are fed a single leaf to allow them to consume Yorujozo without harm. Those who ingest this rare leaf become immune to Yorujozo's toxicity while retaining the psychedelic and alcoholic effects. Yorujozo is a viscous liquid of violet coloring that flows like honey and creates illusory fumes. It tastes as foul as ink when it hits the tongue but has a sweet and pleasant taste when swallowed. It can easily be made into gas and applied to miasma techniques. Yorujozo when it poisons a target is highly sedative and reduces speed greatly. It causes insanity and intense hallucinations psychologically. Physically the poison turns the skin violet and necrotic while causing the eyes to shake and is intensely disorienting. The rare black forest leaves that are used to brew this poison can be used as an acutely efficacious antidote.

Personal Attributes ▱▰▱ Crow Eye | When a young Satoshi looked through the lens of fate to see his prophecy, his right eye was taken as a price. This eye has been nicknamed his "crow eye" because it was cursed by the crow king Yatagarasu in exchange for the prophecy. This crow eye is connected to the eyes of Yogen, the personal summon of Satoshi who has been fate bound to his summoner. Satoshi's crow eye and Yogen's eyes will often glow in unison. The crow eye's appearance is a ghastly violet that glows when it is not covered by an eyepatch. When the sharingan is used through the crow eye it appears to have blackened sclera and glowing purple tomoe and pupils. When the crow eye is in use it causes throbbing headache pain and is more susceptible to blindness. Mangekyo skills used through the crow eye are reduced by [1] use before the blindness status is inflicted. For example, if a technique can be used twice before blindness happens then in the crow eye it could only be used once meaning that the eye goes blind faster. However, the cursed crow eye is maddening when gazed upon as when a genjutsu is cast through it the eye glares with extremely bright violet light and inflicts insanity equal to the rank of the technique. ▱▰▱ Demonic Shroud | When an E-Rank amount of chakra is applied to Satoshi's natural chakra materialization it becomes even more realistic and haunting. Viewing the fog acts as the trigger for genjutsu and counts as eye contact for sharingan genjutsu/hypnosis if his sharingan is active. Alternatively, if no genjutsu is cast then viewing the shroud merely causes first-tier mental stress or insanity. This is not a technique and does not cost an activation. ▱▰▱ Illusory Prowess | This attribute allows any and all genjutsu to be cast through eye contact with the Uchiha. In addition, the genjutsu cast in this manner have the sight sense added to them at C Rank body. At S Rank body, the user's genjutsu are given the chakra sense. Also, mental stress or insanity can be added to any genjutsu cast through eye contact for an additional fifty percent chakra cost. ▱▰▱ Genetic Palette | With intensive genetic therapy and strong blood, this character is able to possess more than one transplant. This allows the character up to two transplants total, of any of the three categories. Illusory Prowess: This attribute allows any and all genjutsu to be cast through eye contact with the Uchiha. In addition, the genjutsu cast in this manner have the sight sense added to them at C Rank body. At S Rank body, the user's genjutsu are given the chakra sense. Also, mental stress or insanity can be added to any genjutsu cast through eye contact for an additional fifty percent chakra cost. ▱▰▱ Get Thee Back into the Tempest | Satoshi is granted the wind element. ▱▰▱ Phantom Master | Satoshi is able to add an additional sense to the illusory images created by his signature style of Phantom Slayer and custom techniques based upon it for a maximum of [2] senses. The images are sight-based and thus always have that sense but [2] additional senses like touch and sound can be added. ▱▰▱ Amaterasu’s Cloak | All fire based techniques produced by the Uchiha are considered bloodline techniques.The flames are turned black and fire based techniques are reduced by 5 chakra per rank with a minimum of 5 chakra to be paid for a technique. For each rank of a technique, it's flames burn actively for one post or one additional post if a limit is given. ▱▰▱ Melee Prodigy | The user obtains a [1] point increase to agility while their sharingan is active for each body rank they have obtained. In addition, the user's first physical offensive activation every three posts gains a [1] point increase to speed per rank of their body, also requiring the eyes to be active. ▱▰▱ Mirror Master | Satoshi is able to add an additional sense to the illusory images created by the Mirror Image Art taijutsu style and custom techniques based upon it for a maximum of [2] senses. The images are sight-based and thus always have that sense but [2] additional senses like touch and sound can be added. ▱▰▱ Lore of the Crows | As a crow sage, Satoshi is able to read the ancient written crow language in the crow contract scroll and learn the secrets of their genjutsu. As a result, in combat, non-instance genjutsu cast by Satoshi in combat last for one post longer for no upkeep cost for each actively summoned crow on the battlefield (maximum of 5) as long as he is the contract holder. ▱▰▱ Violet Delerium | The user excels at Genjutsu that is used with the clan's miasma. The user gains 4 additional genjutsu per body rank. In addition, their genjutsu cast by using the miasma as a source or trigger may add an additional sense to the illusion. The user gains an additional 2 custom slots to be used for Genjutsu involving their miasma. ▱▰▱ Touch of the Boundless | The Uzumaki can create any and all seals, and therefore cast any sealing technique - no matter how intricate or complex - upon a single touch of their palm without handseals. This alternative method for Fuuin must still adhere to the alternative jutsu casting clause as chakra must still be gathered to accomplish a technique as a seal isn't instantly created. In addition, with one-touch and one action, the Uzumaki is able to summon up to three creatures from a contract for only the chakra cost of the highest-ranked creature summoned. ▱▰▱ Holy Conversion | For every RPC converted to the archpriest's religion they gain an endgame reward of their choice. The endgame reward can only be up to 2,000 XP in value. This PA is only obtained by archpriests and is automatically obtained once that title is granted. ▱▰▱ Plunder of the Vagabond | As a globally feared villain, you will forever be able to obtain Endgame perks with only three-quarters of the experience required.
