Hare's nerves were tight as the sight of Rouran displayed itself before them. It had only been a short time since his last mission here, and the sight below horrified him. At James' words, his nerves steeled and he readied himself in true ANBU fashion, giving a curt nod at his orders. The prey was indeed waiting... and he'd find them, for sure. At Shiroi's words, he smirked and concentrated. "Summoning" he intoned as he slammed his palm to the ground with a trace of blood. Two Buune popped up, noses in the air, and with a few whispered words they grew larger to carry the two. "Hop on, and stay alert" were Hare's words of caution, before he leaped onto his Buune, a kunai in each hand.

Racing into the city, the Buunes nimbly dodged civilian and guards alike, keeping their noses to the air, and senses alert. They'd make sure their riders wouldn't miss anything. On Hare's end, as soon as they entered the city he pumped some chakra into the air, using the heat of the fires to spread his "sight" to it's maximum 100 meters. Most of his concentration went into analyzing the map in his head, trusting Shiroi and the Buune's to watch around them.

For the ninja who entered the city, it was anything but simple. The populace seemed crazed, enraged, and seemed to be the ones mostly responsible for the damage to the city. People were throwing Molotov cocktails, having aggressive arguments, a few all out brawls were happening in the streets and in buildings. Once inside the city, the ninja would begin to experience a small sense of euphoria, possily even hearing voices in their head. All Logic would be thrown to the wind, and they would simply wish to fulfill their greatest desires. However great these desires were, they knew...they simple knew and understood...everyone else was out to stop them! They had to, monsters, traitors, liars and cheaters! Their desires was to watch them fail! They needed to be dealt with, and dealt with swiftly and without mercy.

Shiroi, although young, would feel this pull slightly familiar. In fact, she would actually be able to resist it slightly, if she wanted to, and push it out of her mind. But why did she know this? While her and her Bunne were traveling through the streets, to her right she would see an alley way with 2 kids cowered and crawled up, holding eachother with tears running down their faces crying "Mommy why!" A Lady approached them, carrying a broken bottle in her hand, crying out hysterically, with true and real terror in her voice. "What have you done with my children! Why...WHY DID YOU KILL THEM!" In a Flash of light and smoke, the alley way would be obscured. But when their vision returned, the women would out cold, slunched on the side wall of the alley...and the children gone. She would hear a voice, like an echo, speaking to....well it could only possibly be speaking to her right? "Its the orbs.....You must destroy the orbs.....on the towers....."

To everyone else, they would find fighting this urge greatly difficult, but not impossible with the right fortitude and mentality. But the real mystery....what was causing this feeling...and what if the populace tried to attack the ninja?....Or the ninja the populace? They didnt have much time to....do what exactly? They only had one clue....

Hare was yanked from his perusal of his map by a sudden, horribly overwhelming feeling. His hand twitched with the urge to throw kunai as his temper, his weak point, began to mount. Desperately trying to reign it in, he knuckled his brow, and dismounted next to Shiroi, who had stopped for some reason at an alley with an unconscious woman. "What... what is it?" He held his head as the pounding rose, and for an instance he felt the urge to take her down, to stop her before she stopped him.

The moment passed, and he focused once more on his surroundings, the whispers and mounting temper pushed to the back of his mind. The kunai in his hand twitched back in forth as he looked for a target, and behind him the summons looked at each other, then back to their summoner with concern. They knew something was off. "What are you looking for, Shiroi?"

Once the big man James entered the city, the most peculiar thing began to occur. His Biosense, a passive medical technique that required his brain structure to be altered, began to....misread things. A heart beat here, the wall having hypertension (high blood pressure), and the man stabbing a knife into a pillow was apparently pregnant. Something was....apparently messing with his brain....the horrible feeling, the pressure, the urge to defend their dreams was beginning to get too overwhelming. The only thing his diagnose would pick up on him was lots of epinephrine, heightened levels of norepinephrine, and messed up brain chemestry....

Doc would not find his power of resistance helpful, but more a false sense of security giving him mere seconds. The feeling was back, and he was staring down a man carrying a bloody knife, breathing heavily and speaking to him in an angered tone. "Give me back my money...." In a sudden burst of motion, the man was slashing for the gennin with his knife in wild unpracticed motions that would seem slow even to a lower level ninja. But Doc would feel an unquenchable need to get his puppy back....mother ******** took his puppy and needed to pay....

Slipping into the shadows, Knives would find centering himself to be helpful, like some how breathign deeply would help control the urge. Hadn't San just given a lecture about the connection between breath, chakra, and life force?
Yet in the shadows, Knives would hear a major commotion out of his alley. Apperently four other people decided to jump and stab one man, and the brutal continued, the multiple people stabbing the now bloody corpse continually. He would then hear a voice in his head, distorted and statticy like it was trying to fight through strong interference. "Well? Arent you going to do sommmmmmmthing."

Shiroi's sensory skills, as well as genjutsu prowess, would be the Suna teams saving grace. Her sensory skills would feel chakra flowing, and if she concentrated just slightly, she could even see the dark red waves moving through the air. If she followed the waves, she would find what the voice was talking about. On several towers, almost on the highest levels, she would see high density chakra sources in the shape of a sphere....maybe those were the orbs? there were five of them (one in the center, the market, the forum plaza, the barracks, and the domestic areas...where the damage was the worse) spread throughout the city. The farther the waves traveled, the weaker they became...but the closer to the orbs they became...the stronger the waves where....But she knew exactly what these waves of chakra were and why she could see right through them. Genjutsu....

Al's troubles seemed to be expressing very quickly and rapidly, almost more rapidly than any other Ninja of the Suna squad. If Shiroi looked a little....he would also be the farthest into the city and the closest to one of the orbs. He would feel a raging temper towards Shiroi for calling him Hare. Didnt she know that he was a birdman? How dare she call him a freaking bunny....his chakra pattern was completely out of whack.

Something was terribly wrong.

Al couldn't help himself: He lost his temper. He had no reason, no logical explanation for it, but he was suddenly, uncontrollably furious. And, unfortunately, the closest target to vent his fury on was the youngest of their entire team... Shiroi. He heard her words, her explanation of the situation, but they wouldn't register, for all he could see was red. As she turned to him, he gave a scream of rage; a terrifying, inhuman sound that seemed to reverberate through the area around them. With her eyes active, Shiroi would probably see a chilling sight: the waves from the closest orb were converging on him.

In an instant, the kunai in his hands would seem to burst into flames, and with his mind in a fog of anger, Alvard would charge towards Shiroi, intent on causing horrible, painful injuries. As a jounin and an ANBU, his speed was quite above Shiroi's ability to react... luckily for her, she didn't need to. Her Buune, her faithful transport, leaped in front of the vicious attack, taking it in place of her.

At the same time, Alvard's Buune would tackle him from the side, launching him into the alley wall, and causing him to drop his kunai. As the flames died from the cold metal, Shiroi would find her leader and comrade pinned to the wall beneath his own summon.

The Buune that saved her gave a sigh of satisfaction, glad that its purpose for being there was fulfilled as it slowly faded out of existence. It's summoner had given it one simple instruction, after all. From fur it was born, and to fur it returned, the Hare Sage's words softly echoing:

Protect her

Once Kamiya entered the outskirts of the city, he too would begin to feel the effects that everyone else was feeling. The euphoria, the confusion, the anger, the happiness. The more he traveled into the city, the worse the feeling would get. As he entered one of streets, the warrior would stare down 3 people brawling in the street.

"Clear your mind! Stop your chakra!" James would hear a voice in his head, or think it was in his head. Either way, it was a voice trying to help him. Down his spotters scope, the konin would see sheer chaos. People fighting in the street, fire, enough smoke that he would have enough issues seeing much of anything. But high on one of the towers he would see a purple glow....

Shiroi while activating her doujutsu would actually be able to easily track the children. They were up high on a tower, a tower only a ninja could climb. Yet with them, was another taller and much stronger figure. Yet in a split second, the figure was gone, and the children seemed safe. But it was her that wasnt safe. Al was having issues controling his temper, and the genjutsu was begging to effect him. Her faithful transport dissapeared after taking a blow for the 9 year old, and it seemed the chase would be on. She had to eliminate the orbs to protect her and other citizens....

For Ken, the situation was more the real. He would rememeber his training in the academy of kai, and how to free himself from a genjutsu that Wolf had just explained to them.
