__ Once Kenshin escorted the diplomats to the CORE Compound he ordered his guards to toss them in their cell. He filed the charges against them away for the justice system to attend to later. "You two. Keep an eye on the Uzu ninjas I brought in." He then had the guards posted on both sides of their cell. They were political detainees for the moment being and skilled kunoichi from what he observed. "I wonder how long it'll take them to realize that they can't mold chakra in there." Kenshin thought with spiteful amusement before sounding the alarm for the village. There was a demon attack and he wanted emergency precautions to be taken within the village to protect the citizens. He then dispatched a high number of police squadrons to each village district. The justiciar of Arashigakure left the CORE Compound to aid citizens in evacuation to the emergency tunnels.

Tsukina arrived at the entrance to the CORE compound, her familiar blade hefted upon her shoulders. She knew there was an attack going on, and while she considered herself retired she could at least support her husband by guarding this vital area of the village. Aurelia was safely being tended to by her godmothers, so with that taken care of she could fully commit herself to the task at hand

__ Zhi arrived hanging a mile high over the CORE Compound with her attention fixated on the imprisoned diplomats' location. "No time to waste, but oh boy is this only going to make things worse." The young bug seasoned kunoichi held her hand out down toward the area far below while still adorning her VORTEX attire. Her chakra finished masterfully focusing with just that simple movement and she sighed, "My orders were to bring them back under any circumstance..." Considering the threat of conflict was already made apparent due to Masato being controlled, she expected this would be the cherry on top that might guarantee it. The thought of war once again ravaging the world after just over five years ago deeply troubled her. 'Papa...' Her body's composition shifted from fleshly to wooden and the compound began to violently shake, 'I will do my best to protect my friends and home with this power you gave me.' This solemnly withheld promise would be the pulling of the trigger. It was at the end of these thoughts that a puppet from that Kogarashi Scottsman had apparently managed to have follow her this far. It exploded against her transformed self but hardly did much damage. "Really...?" Despite that, Zhi did find herself a little annoyed that the puppet tracked her down just to blow up.
The cell where Lahlil and Rinka currently were held became encased in crystalline roots just before countless other roots of vastly varying sizes as well as an incredible overgrowth of flowering trees wove throughout the compound. The precursory earthquake hadn't been much warning for this massive natural energy fueled Senju technique which would actively avoid direct interaction with any personnel besides barring off access to the Uzushio diplomats. "Just in case..." The majority of the massive Senju technique was also enhanced by bakuton chakra so she could hold the area so near the Arashikage's ten-story tall headquarters building. The flowers lining the roots and trees inside and out of the entire complex began to release massive volumes of pollen which only Lahlil and Rinka would be safe from thanks to their crystallized confines. While the pollen acted to render all in the area unconscious other roots dug out the crystal structure the two other kunoichi had been placed in. They'd be raised high out of the ground until they were at the same altitude as Zhi herself and then the crystal would peal away until only a platform for them stand upon remained. "Hey again! Sorry... uhh.... I'm here to bring you both back to Uzu. Ready to go?" Shortly after asking this there would be a series of explosions from deep within the compound. She was unfamiliar with the layout of the complex, and apparently had caused many gas leaks throughout. As a result, she'd triggered a chain reaction which would ignite the pollen and also detonate the entire volatile forest she had created. It was only a matter of time before the area would literally go nuclear. It was also only at this moment that she started to fully understand how great her new powers were, and how she might not have been as much in control of them at this point as she thought. "We have to leave, now!" Zhi's previous question was promptly overridden with a new tone of urgency. She'd control the crystal platform and they'd fly south to leave the Hidden Storm Village from their unprotected airways. They'd make a quick and direct return to the Land of Eddies and avoid more trouble with Arashigakure than had already been caused. If Arashigakure failed to contain this blast then it would reach the Arashikage's Spire in moments.

tab Ferrah turned to face the little demon girl.. Rinka was her name? At least she was partial certain. Her memories during Lahlil's time felt a little fuzy for some reason. Face locked behind confusion and thought Ferrah neglected to answer the girl's question. She needed to figire out a way out of this and fast, there was no way Lahlil would survive that another go through a prison and keeping her asleep for long periods of time.. well that could work at least partially but there's no guarantee what that amount of lost time would do to her. She wasn't strong like she was, even now she could feel the little girl sleeping curled,up in the back of her mind.
All of this was interrupted however, by massive crystal eoota erupting from the ground all around her. Instinctively Ferrah couched and started making handseals before she realized it was useless in her current state. Thankfully it didn't seem like she needed to though as the crystals formed more into a protective dome than anything else. This crystal dome lifted them up into the air to the maaked ninja from earlier, which Ferrah now recognized as the Zhi girl from her old village. Lips curling into a smile Ferrah gave a thankful nod and then looked back just in time to watch the destruction burn. She couldn't hide the satisfaction she was feeling right now and to be honest? She didn't want to.Well, that will certainly do..
In the seconds after her reassuring gesture towards the space almost next to Lahlil, Rinka had a true, blue brain-blast. A plan clicked into her gnoggin as the gears started to turn. It was a plan... a devious plan... the most deviously devious plan ever devised by devious minds. However, the world started to shake around the blind oni just as she was about to enact this fool-proof plan of escape. The sounds of rumbling erupted around her as some force wrenched the cell from the very earth. Then... a voice called out, then an explosion filled the air. Rinka didnt look at it. Cool guys dont look at explosions.

Tezumari flew through the air, their hands still behind them as they guided their way towards where the tree stood. A sudden glint off of some crystalline structure caught their eye. Those on said crstalline structure would be surprised to hear a loud whooshing noise, followed by an ever louder, "Weeeeeeee!"
Suddenly, a strange form would drop down from the sky and roll across the crystal floor. Stopping at the edge of the crystal in a ball, Tezumari would spring up with their hands raised towards the sky. "Ta-dah!" They exclaimed as they turned to face those on board. Taking a few steps forward, they bowed deeply as they gripped the right side of their face with their left hand and tore it away, spawning a copy of themselves on their left. A second bow, conversely this time, spawned a second copy on their right. All three saying simultaneously, "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. What a lovely audience."

It is also able to attack using Taijutsu; however, its ability to attack is around 1/10 the user’s. In return for this weakness, its attacks deliver shocks of electricity to the opponent's body.
tab As a loud whee rang in her ears Ferrah turned back just in time to watch the most bizarre of displays, a young clown? Came tumbling in right from the sky and roled onto the crystal platform. She squinted her eyes trying to determine the beings gender but found she was unable to through all of the makeup. Even their mannerisms were gender neutral. Ferrah kept her face impassive right up until the end of the clown's performance, where then her lips curled into smile and she gave a light applause. A kind gesture used to mask the real intent of using her eye movements to cast her genjutsu, also it was rather impressive considering how high they were. Her genjutsu would take effect the moment that they heard the words roll off her lips freezing them in place. "Now That was truly a marvelous performance, but do you mind if I take the stage for a little bit?" Ferrah made sure to string her words together to keep them in place until her brilliant crimson Sakkakugan finished weaving even more seals. All the while she spoke Ferrah made sure to dig a kunai along their cheek. It was mostly for the intimidation until a devious thought entered her head. I wonder.. Collecting the small amount of blood the dribbled forth she continued. "You see that crater down there? It sure made an awful mess. Go down there and help any survious in your village until you're so tired that you collapse." The moment Ferrah stopped speaking the first enchament ended and the adorable little clown would find themselves able to move again, and compelled by her seemingly honeyed words.

The two clones watched as the original didn't move. Perhaps they had a plan, but as they dragged a Kunai along the cheek of Tezumari, They sprung into action. They ran forward with the intention of tackling the blonde being. They slowed to a stop as the sweet honey worlds filled their head.
Tezumari watched as their audience appreciated their style. Unable to move, they watched them approach. Ninjutsu or Genjutsu? Nothing seems to be physically holding me, so I would be inclined to believe Genjutsu. Why can't I break it though? They mused until a Kunai cut into their cheek and brought their focus back onto the person they were facing. Help people? No. no no. no. The initial genjutsu released and Tezumari immediately grasped their head.
All three Grasped their heads, and seemed to stumble about. Beginning with a mutter until their voices rose to a crescendo, "No. No. No. No. Don't put their lives in my hands. No! No! No!" Tezumari stumbled back and tipped over the edge falling off of the platform still screaming in terror. The two clones unable to resist the honey words, torn by the original's intense fear, and pre-programmed with instructions, did the only thing they could do to escape the mental terror that gripped them: They Detonated.

Dendou Bakuhatsu no Jutsu [ Electric Explosion Technique ] Rank: C Official Description: After creating the needed hand seals, the user causes all Lightning Clones that are under his or her control to explode in a burst of electricity, shocking anyone that happens to be near them and inflicting tremendous pain. Guild Description: See official description.
Quote:
Kaze Bunshin Bakuha [ Wind Clone Explosion ] | Rank B A deadly attack formed by modifying any bunshin that requires the usage of wind during creation. Upon its destruction, the wind that is used to create the clone 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. The clone detonates with the force of three exploding tags, enough to cause serious damage to any unprotected person caught within the immediate radius of the blast.
__ Zhi had sensed another small chakra signature rapidly approach but was a little constrained with controlling the crystal platform with the Uzu diplomats atop of it. The youth, likely a novice shinobi of Arashigakure navigated onto the platform to put on a show of some. 'This timing...' She was rather wary if only because he had gotten so close to the two she was rescuing. However, Ferrah invoked a rather potent illusion on the clown-like child, inflicting a similarly disturbance in his chakra to what Masato suffered from that mysterious woman out in the Land of Floods. Zhi's brow furrowed slightly when she saw chakra welling up in the clones and held her hand out toward the diplomats. In reaction, crystal grew and molded into a defensive formation of likeness to her known Mokujuheki technique. The paired elemental blasts would be entirely warded away from the eyeless, one-armed girl with horns and the illusionist with little effort. Zhi's own enhanced form would also resist the damage with relative ease. The increasing number of explosions about a mile below would continue to catch all of the Arashi personnel who had been caught in the pollen, including the legendary Sword Maiden herself who had been caught in the mix of everything. If nothing was done, Tezumari would also risk the same fate. "No more bloodshed." It was too late to stop what she had started, but she could at least try to prevent more casualties. A long branch reached out of the massive trunk that had originally raised the crystal platform into the sky. It would catch Tezumari and throw him as far away from this area as it could. If nothing else, landing elsewhere raised his chances at survival exponentially compared to remaining here. It wouldn't be long now before this whole location was a smoldering crater and the nearby Spire was left to fall too. "And enough distractions." Zhi could detect others advancing on this location. More interference would mean that more people would be caught up in all this destruction and limit the chances of at least completing her mission. Zhi resumed her flight and controlled the crystal platform to follow closely. They'd all depart promptly through Arashigakure airspace toward the Land of Eddies.

__ His tensed white eyes forced him to watch as events unfolded before him with no way of stopping it. He moved like a bullet in a desperate attempt to stop this. He watched the series of detonations brought on by the Whirlpool kunoichi. The pollen made short work of a number of his agents as a series of detonations enveloped the complex. "No, no, no!" He yelled angrily before coming to a stop as he watched the final explosion. The sky above what was the CORE Compound was on fire. He felt the heat wash over him as he watched the emissaries and Zhi fly away. "God damn it!" The police captain yelled into the sky as he felt the heat energy emanating off that colossal wreck singing his skin with an acute sharpness. He collapsed to his knees as he stared into the fiery oblivion before him. So many of his subordinates that he was sworn to command were gone in an instant. He spent over half of a decade in this center of justice in Arashigakure. The CORE Compound was the eye of the storm. No matter the chaos that surrounded it, it was the storm's calm, it was the source of order. "So many good people." The man who once stood tall, proud, and righteous fell to his knees as tears welled in his eyes."I failed them all." He could not help but vocalize his thoughts as he sobbed uncontrollably into his hands. His hands covered his face in shame. So much was bottled up in him from years of suppression. There was no dignity at this moment, only despair. The police force was all this man knew. It felt as if the foundation beneath him was torn asunder. Darkness surrounded Kenshin Kosei and a piece of this man died with his comrades. "I should've perished in their stead." The face of every police officer in that building came flooding into his mind one by one. He untied his cravat and wiped away tears in the cloth desperately as he gasped in the ashen air. The captain was meant to go down with his ship and that was a code that Kenshin adhered to. His state of grief caused his mind to drift in a way that was beyond his control. He remembered when he was promoted to Konin and advisor by Jay. The ephemerality of the happiness and pride he felt in that moment was fully realized now. The Hell he was damned to now was one of recognizing his own failure, cowardice, and desperation.
After it seemed as if an eternity passed, Kenshin prayed and pleaded with his higher authority. "I never doubted, not once, that the law and justice would prevail. Lord, let me smite the Whirlpool with all of your retribution." Kenshin's voice was trembling as he felt his eyes dry out from the heat. The man stood and rose from his knees once again with a new resolve. He unsheathed his rapier and pointed it toward the sky above. "I...will...not..rest till those men and women of justice are avenged. I swear by it!" The police captain swore this oath to the higher power above. He did not know his Lord's name, but there must be someone who wrote the natural laws and governs the universe, this Kenshin was certain of. There were dark and chaotic forces in this world that rebelled against this Lord's great order. Kenshin would forever live within the light. His rapier was sheathed once again at his hip before walking away from the area. The explosion also toppled the massive Spire and it fell into the CORE Compound's crater as he marched toward a new destiny.

Tezumari fell in the grips of genjutsu they couldn't focus enough to counter. It was a little known fact that Tezumari was self-aware of their own capabilities and desires versus the responsibilities of the ninja life. They thought of the whole world as an audience and wanted to put on the best show possible, but knew that came with risks. While they could accept them, Tezumari did not want to put those risks on others. They were afraid it might cost friends their life. It was a crippling fear, which is why Tezumari simultaneously cared tremendously about others and cared very little in the same instance. Help them. No, I can't. Help them! I can't! Shaking their head even as they fell, Tezumari made a sudden, jarring impact with a swiftly growing root. While it launched Tezumari off course from the now exploding compound, it simultaneously knocked them unconscious. Tezumari's body, now limp, went hurling through the air on a collision course with the ground.

The route to CORE was like second nature to Shion; she had walked the path so many times that it had been etched into the foundations of her memory. Being such a familiar route, Shion wandered her path with closed eyes, taking in the ambiance of the village hustle and bustle as much as she could before being forced to get back to her actual job. The young CORE-hopeful dodged her way deftly through the crowds, allowing an almost preternatural sense dictate her flow of motion all the while ignoring the murmurs and banter shared by the obviously anxious crowd over what had happened. It was too much effort to be concerned over what the general folk discussed. Too much of a distraction. It's a shame, really. Maybe if Shion had paid a little more attention, she'd be prepared for what lie in wait for her at the end of her walk.
The first thing that hit her was the smell of smoke. A little odd, yes, but the enhanced senses her new roommate granted her could be to blame. The next thing that struck Shion as odd was the panicked shouts of the survivors fleeing the scene. Ugh, people these days were so dramatic. The full weight of it all didn't actually set in until Shion was hit by the full force of the unbearable heat given off by the inferno that was the CORE compound. The girl's eyes flung open to behold the untold horrors committed by... well, she didn't know exactly... but she knew what she was going to do to them.
Shion's heart sank into her chest and her shoulders, usually squared with an overconfident swagger, slumped to her sides. Her eyes widened and her knees felt like they were going to give out from beneath her. Then, she laughed. Loudly. It wasn't a nervous laughter, nor the laughing of some crazed lunatic. Her mind hadnt broken from the sheer weight of the grief. No, far from it. Instead, all the rage the Nibi fed into her, all the anger over the little things that never truly bothered her but now offered annoyance beyond compare... All of her malice was suddenly tempered into purpose. Her laughing grew louder and louder before she finally glanced around, giving herself a moment to quell her jovial outburst. "Oh man... who is the stupid son of a b***h who thought this was a good idea?" She say, directed at no one in particular... though maybe someone would answer.
The fire's raged in the ruins of the former symbol of justice. The CORE compound was destroyed- obliterated root and stem. Belamos arrived well after the blast, but was still early enough to see the results of it's primary effects. Survivors milled about- dazed and confused in the wake of such an attack. He was vaguely aware of Kenshin down on his knees in grief, as well as a few other vaguely familiar faces, but paid them little mind. He was here to find the culprit- the blue-haired woman who undoubtedly committed the act. A form of aggression such as this? There could be no doubt...war was here. Belamos walked past Officer Kosei, tuning out the screams of the dying and those who were searching for the dead. Their wails were of no importance to him. He was after vengeance alone. His brief search brought him to the lip of a large crater- undoubtedly the source of the largest of the explosions. While the size paid homage to the aggressor's strength, it also betrayed her ruthlessness. As Belamos stared into the depth of the impression, more out of curiousity than anything else, what befell his eyes caused the King of Otogakure to fall to his knees.
He stared at her porcelain-like cheeks- once so full of life and smiles now naught but a cold marble upon the ground. Her flaxen, golden, hair splayed in a bloody knot around her head. A crimson trickle ran from a mouth that would never again speak his name, lips forever still in a tight expression. He wasn't sure how he made it down into the crater- he moved in a trance as if he were a specter on this earth now. Dead, but unable to pass on and join her. Belamos cradled her head in his arm, wraping the other arm over her chest.
He held the body of his wife in his arms, tears spilling upon the lifeless corpse of Tsukina.
He cried. A loud, primal, noise. Emotion and pain were as plain to hear as the crackling of the fire that raged around them. "No...not again" He sobbed out as he bent over the body of his beloved, the pain of loss wracking his body in miniature convulsions. He did not know why she had been here, why she had had to die...but he knew who caused it. The evil of the Whirlpool and the Weakness of the Storm had allowed this to happen. That woman may have committed the act but it was the system of these villages that had created this situation. Two villages or Five...it made no difference. As long as there were multiple flags than war would exist. His mother had died as a result of the same system...and now it had claimed the life of his life as well.
No more.
He had been slow to realize it, but the lesson was now learned. As he slowly straightened up into an upright kneeling position the pain in his gut seemed to collect and harden into a tight ball of rage. All these years he had played at Shinobi- acted the peaceful part of the devoted husband and loyal subordinate in the name of peace. He had thought it would be different than the UHV- that the wars of the past would stay in the past. He...had been a fool. He had forgotten who he was- what his purpose was. Kagami had been right...the villages, the people who bore these atrocities, needed to be burned away so that something new could arise.
The pride Belamos had always carried with him, the sense of rightoueness...it was gone. The reclusive aggression that had purveyed his actions in the last decade, destroyed forever. The crippling pain of loss that he felt towards the death of Tsukina was even now inconsequential compared to this new feeling. Everything he was was now rage. A wave of unbridled, unyielding anger permeated him.
Looking down at the face of his wife, he wiped the blood away from her mouth before leaning down and kissing her forehead. "What I now do, I do in rememberance of you my love" He said, so softly that even he could barely hear it
A pillar of fire erupted around them as he finished speaking, and when it cleared both himself and the body of the Sword Maiden were gone
"Kenshin!" Her voice echoed away as she approached. Of course she would find him; their fates were always destined to be tied. The voice he heard would be familiar to him, but different. It has aged since he heard it last. However, the sincere click of kindness never drifted from her melody. When she approached him she was different than he would remember. Her hair was grown, and she grew half a foot. Her features were sharpened, and she wore sharper make up. Nevertheless, the former KPD officer Selina Rosewater approached from Kenshin's right. And, like Kenshin, she took a moment to take in the devastation of the destruction before she approached.
This wasn't the first time she saw it. When she was back stage awaiting her concert which was delayed because of a village attack, the television in the breakroom caught first hand the devastation on national broadcast. The destruction of the gates was mortifying, but nothing prepared her for the visual spectacle that was the catastrophe which was the CORE compound. That was what caused her to dust off her headband and leave the stage. It took some rusty ninja skills to traverse to this location, but she arrived. And, seeing the rubble in person, of course her mind traversed to the darkened space within her heart which she desperately tried to lock away. This moment was not able her, however. No, she came here because she knew above all else, someone needed her. And that someone was who she approached.
"Thank goodness you're okay. Ada will have to report back after hearing about this." She said as she moved in front of Kenshin. Her position in front of him, as well as the information she delivered, were intentional. They were tricks the psychologist in her life taught her to move past trauma. First, take your vision off of it. Second, switch your mind to something positive. Selina scanned Kenshin in order to understand where he was at mentally. His eyes were stained with tears, and he wore fury like it was battle armor. Selina felt that, if he did not pull himself back at least to the point where his emotions were raw and bare, that he would end up getting hurt trying to get retribution. "You're cravat..." She said, referring to the fabric around Kenshin's neck which was haphazardly worn. Her hands gently reached for it. She wouldn't touch it yet, however. The two of them had a connection in the past, but Kenshin was in shock. She didn't want to overwhelm him so quickly. "May I fix it?" She asked. In many ways, she was speaking about more than his cravat when she asked to fix it. However, these things had to be one at a time.
__ As Kenshin walked away he saw Belamos appear and mourn Tsukina. She was the most powerful one to have fallen in the massive attack by Uzu. Shion appeared as well with laughter that rattled him deeply. "Stop laughing! Real people are dead!" He shouted extremely loudly before exhaling and seeing the genin who was bothering him at the gates was thrown earlier in the distance. "It was a Whirlpool ninja, she broke those diplomats out after I detained them for questioning. Prepare for war, Shion." He spoke in a more even-tempered tone but was still extremely on edge. His warning that war was looming was blunt and also filled with retribution. He then pointed in a direction that he was not facing and spoke once more. "There's someone over there who I think is unconscious, but alive, go check them out." Kenshin said to Shion before he continued walking. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice shouting his name that he could not place. The long pink hair caught his attention from a distance earlier, but he was not focused enough on the object to discern her identity. He had walked a significant distance from Shion, Belamos, and the rest of the carnage but stopped and turned when he heard his name. He faced the individual who approached and he felt numb. The police captain did not have the mental capacity to be surprised at this moment in time. "Selina Rosewater? It can't be." His thoughts were more organized as he focused completely on her. The man looked broken and disheveled in his appearance. Kenshin always took supreme care of his uniform so this was probably a shock in and of itself to his fellow veteran. "Selina? I thought you were in Kumo." It had been over five years since he saw her. He had to blink twice on her approach to make sure that his trauma was not just making him see things or people who were not there. When her hands touched his cravat he knew that there was no denying who she was. "Yeah, sure.' His hands were trembling immensely from shock and rage so he was unlikely to be able to fix it himself. "What're you doing here, anyway? This is no place for a civilian. It isn't safe." His tear-strained eyes looked into Selina's, but his attention was partially being paid to the demon attack at the Floodgate. The CORE Compound was a crater, the Spire fell, hundreds were dead, and the gates were being knocked down by a bijuu. It felt like his byakugan was watching the end of the damn world.
