James would wait until the last second to suprise the man, and then only rise enough to launch two of his poisoned needles at the man's forehead and throat. whatever the needles struck would immediately suffer paralysis as the neurotoxin launched to work like the bite of a desert cobra. from there(two post later) it would spread across the body. without treatment the man would die (10 post) The forehead needle would shut down the frontal lobe of the man's brain, throwing his reasoning and reaction out the window. the throat shot would end any speaking and complicate all throat functions.
James readied to act if the needles failed.

Siniku, after opening the Southern Gate Commander's door, would softly walk towards the Round table and after getting to the front of it would release the Transformation Jutsu and show his true form to the Commander, His white Kitsune Mask hiding his face, but his bright fiery hair still showing from behind it, and his Desert Camouflaged Armor.
After releasing he would immediately bow towards the Commander and when he would rise again, remove his Kitsune Mask so that the very muscled man on the other end of the table could see his face, as hiding his face behind a mask to some people would make them think he may have something to hide.
With his violet hue's looking towards the table rather then right at the commander he would finally speak, "[Greetings, Commander of the South Gate, My name is Siniku Yoshimitsu, I am the Captain of the Sunagakure Black Operations Unit.]" he would say in a soft, respectful tone. "[I have come to Request your and your fellow commanders help in driving ... or eradicating... the Jashin from your beautiful city. My Village has been fighting these people for months now... I, myself, have fought them on my previous mission.]" he said before looking down at his still somewhat injured leg, "[And I only recently was able return to my village... I was in fact still recovering when I made the commitment of coming here and speaking to you...]" he added softly before returning his look to the table top. "[With your great strength combined with our own we can wipe the face of our world from their kind once and for all. We already have operatives around the city ready to strike... and some... already striking... the Jashin that threaten us all. If our cities can work together there is nothing that can stop us.]"

Lucas assimilated the remainder of his arm and sent a large bladelike shape towards the jaishin. the blade was composed of high speed oscillating sand particles. this would make cutting through the body of the jaishin easier. the blade moved at high speeds.
"James. i just need to find some jaishin and i'll give you the exact location."
Lucas remained against the ground the entire time this occurred.

  ◆◈◆◈◆"My sands will be your end"◆◈◆◈◆
San's vulture alerted him of the location of the guard with the magnifying glass. The Iron Sand particles field was thankfully not on dementional, and made its way all the way up to his location. Forming some of the particles into 5 50cal ballsdirectly infront of the guard, San used his magnetic minipulation to hurl them like a shotgun blast at the man, aiming one specifically for the lense he had formed. The balls would hit the man with enough force to penetrate skin and cause severe injury resulting in almost an instant death, especially with the ninja completly unknowing of the technique.
Literally as soon as the bullets where launched San would mayfly into the ground and rise to the left of where the man was standing. His particle jutsu would be able to tell him if there was more.

"San, Im going to see if I can check out this building over here, its not right." Howaido moved his cart along with him and pretended to come upon the lines for the first time. "Hello, can I interest any of you in some of my goods?" If that didnt work he had other plans,"San, take a look inside that building while I work some magic."

In the Southern Gate's storage room was the cart confiscated from the earlier people rejected by the guards at the front Gates, as well as a few crates of what seemed to be ritualistic weapons taken from Jashin that had failed to give the password.
Bast reformed and Anima released her transformation to help search the various crates scattered about the room, finding a large number of empty baubles of the variety used by Mamoru, and several baubles filled with what seemed to be cheap imitations of the weapons used in the past by the same. Along with these items was the discovery of a large shipment of the materials that went in to the variable marbles sold at Bast's shop. Bast paused here and filled some of the empty baubles from other crates with the variable marble material, and then sealed the baubles. She tossed a few of these final products to Anima, and held on to a few of them herself.
With the luggage wreaking havoc outside, Anima had plenty of time to use Henge on the door to the storeroom to match the wall around it, on the off chance that anyone would see the door and decide to interrupt during the reign of terror outside. However, because of this, a great portion of the little light entering the room disappeared, much to the fake-lady's dismay. Using the new variable marble material containers, the lady created a bright chain of lanterns that lit the room quite nicely, and cast light upon a previously unnoticed container of food. She opened it and beckoned Bast over, and in a few minutes the two had a nice, hot, steaming meal of grilled meat, heated on a few rocks that had been sitting out in the sun for a while. Their bellies full, the two then set about searching the rest of the room.

Ganchou thought for a moment, then went north. Entering the room, he paused and looked around.

James & Lucas's attacks would be useful for the moment, as the Jashin was caught off guard, he only had time to raise his right arm slightly as James's poisoned senbon dug their way into him. His momentum continued still & Lucas's blade sawed through his lower left leg, severing it off almost nearly. Landing upon the top of the dune, the man stumbled forwards & fell face first as he yelled down to the other 4. One of them bent down to the ground, activating 'Doton: Jihibiki Kansei no Jutsu'. "2 enemies, sighted near the top," he commented. At this, one of them sank into the ground using Moguragakure no Jutsu, another formed handseals for Ganchuusou to spring spears up around the genin, & the last performed a Kamaitachi to blow away the sand around the dune in question.
[ Yoshimitsu-san, we only have enough units to patrol the city & the gates. If we stray too far from them, even more vagabonds will get away with dishonorable acts. ] Presenting him with a small symbol upon a piece of paper, the Commander's signature was just below a heiroglyphic of two people fighting. It was, of course, meant to allow Siniku to temporarily borrow guards in certain areas to help him with a simple flash of the document. [ I am afraid that this is the only thing that we can do for you currently. May Anubis guide your path. ] The door swung open with a creak, & a decrepit old woman holding a lantern peaked into the room. Motioning to continue down the hallway with the lantern, she offered it to the ANBU Captain. Several paths lay ahead at an intersection, which allowed access to fake sewer grate covers all around the city.
San's finding of the hidden man was odd, but accurate enough. With the lens jutsu going haywire from the loss of control, it swept a swath of destruction across the city, lighting several districts afire before cracking hard enough to begin shattering. As the pieces descended, their focusing power, although diminished, produced several smaller layers of light, significantly heating the blackmarket district to obscene levels. A cultist in another tower noticed the commotion at the first & without warning fired a volley of explosive tagged arrows that way. He would continue to fire volleys until he ran out of ammunition or the first tower fell to the ground below, killing everyone in the area. Howaido & his father along with the line of people were in the blackmarket district, in the direct line of fire.
Howaido & his father would feel the effects of San's repercussions, & soon would need to find shelter or obtain a very unhealthy sunburn. A woman in the line of people would decline their offer of goods, replying, "Eh, sonny? I'm in line for 500 smack-a-roos! After that, I'll take a good look at your wares. You do accept Katanga Crosses, right?" Wiping her brow, she complained about the heat just before she exploded from a line of swathing light.
With the luggage rampaging outside, it was a funny sight to see cultists getting devoured left & right. Om nom nom.... nom... nom? Inside the store room, the previously confiscated cart rolled forward from an explosion outside, coming to rest at one of the walls. Hitting it, several materials fell out, of which looked like cheap knock-offs of the seven swordsmen swords.
As Ganchou went north, he would enter the previously described room. There wasn't any quartz in here, so the light was non-existent, but a flare or such would show that the room was filled to the brim with gold & jewelry far beyond description. At the far end of the room, a path would wind through the delicious treasure to another wooden door. Beyond, a slight rushing of water could be heard.

◆◈◆◈◆"My sands will be your end"◆◈◆◈◆
San, alarmed, notified Howaido to find shelter. Angry at the fact that the lense technique was going on, San's sensory technique alerted him of the Jashin firing the arrows. Using his mayfly technique once again, he moved to the next building top that wasn't in the fire of the lense.
"Howaido, get to cover, i ******** up. Get the guy shooting the explosive arrows for me while you at it. Anyway, in the building the peopels chakra are coagulating on certain locations. I cant tell exactly what it is, but it cant be good. Im continuing my path, Meet up when you can."
San's vulture continued the recon, looking for more signs of activity.

Post 1/1 for Ayametori: Level 1 Upgrade
As the explosion blew through, Anima simply let it pass without shifting her stance to allow for the shockwave. Instead, she simply sent Chakra to her feet and rode it out without much difficulty.
When the "cheap" swords clattered to the ground, Anima was the first one to investigate, as Bast was busy messing with other things in the cart. The lady bent down and picked each blade up, remarking upon the odd, but strangely realistic weight of each item before sliding them back in to the cart.
Bast, shocked by the explosion's power, wondered briefly what was going on outside and if her claimed loot was going to be negatively affected by all of the commotion. She was distracted by the clatter of the swords, though, and immediately made her way over to the cart. She threw the tarp off of the top and ogled the materials underneath, imagining the sort of havoc she could wreak with such materials under her command.
Shoving the crates of materials to one side, the woman made room for the other items in the room. She shoved the blank baubles in between the materials (including the variable marble materials) and the loaded baubles, and then stuffed as much padding as possible around the latter before tying everything down and securing everything. With this done, she strolled over to the transformed door and cracked it ever so slightly. Spotting a sulking Jashin that was trying to hide from the luggage, Bast pulled out a length of wire and held it vertically. The Ayametori that would come from it, if undetected, would slice the Jashin in half vertically along his spine.

Lucas almost emediately returned all but the disc of his that was within the city to his body reforming it and assimilating the rest of his body. that was when everything else hit and the sand around him was blown away. he now stood out like white on black. he quickly decided that he and james definately needed to coordinate their attacks but he would need to be able to have james help with that. for now Lucas simply drew out his knife which hadn't assimilated and was therefor still steel he then got into a fighting stance and waited.
his disc of sand within the village located a unique vendor who seemed to have highly powerful weapons on him. lucas wasn't one to condone stealing but he knew that at least one of these would be useful and he was sure he could at least return it later and pay for it's use. the disc gave up on it's search for the others and slunk in towards the weapons shop locating what seemed to be a katana but unlike the others it was strapped into it's sheath. he guessed it held a lot of poweful abilities otherwise it wouldn't be worth the straps. the disc silently formed into two hands and silently took it off the shelves. the people looking into the shop would see what looked like sand stealing the sword but it would be over with fairly quickly. the disc would then head up into the air and bring the blade to where Lucas would need it.

James launched himself over the front of the dune, knowing that they had been made. letting his Valkyrie fall into an ice sling, he closed behind the injured Jashin and unleashed his Extreme Decapitating Air Waves technique. The blast wave of wind from his forearms would send tons of sand flying and the Jashin as well. James then Body flickered back 50m behind his original position.
"lets get them Lucas!"

"[This... Will do nicely, Commander]" said Siniku rolling the peice of parchment up and tucking it in his Scroll Pouch, "[I hope this is just the beginning of a wonderous relationship between Sunagakure and the Old Capital. My warriors will not let your people down.]" he said giving a final bow before the old woman entered the room and beckoned him.
"[Until we meet again Commander. And thanks... We will need all the help we can get.]" the ANBU Captain would say before following the old woman.
As he walked beside her he would ask, "[Would you happen to know where the Jashin are the most consentrated? If they aren't distributed through out the city equally that is]." he asked putting his mask back on and thinking the old woman more important then a simple escort.

Entering the dark room, Ganchou lit a simple match. Staring at the sparkling treasure, he moved towards it, reached for some... and stopped, laughing. "As if" he muttered, before continuing along the path making sure not to touch anything. Approaching the door, he heard the water, and sighed. Grabbing the handle, he opened it, swinging out to the side along with the door.

San's burning tower crashed to the ground below, crushing innocents left & right as the district continued to catch fire. Up above, the cultist continued to let loose volleys of fire arrows, but he had run out of the explosive kind. "Kuso!" he swore, as he had forgotten to go on an ammo run earlier in the day.
Bast's fun with the sulking cultist was becoming downright hilarious. He had been split nearly down the middle, & his seperate halves wriggled around on the ground. Each with their independent thoughts, they reached out to try to keep themselves together. Hobbling out into the street, one half gave way as the luggage skittered about the corner & gobbled him. A shopkeep, shocked at this display, dove for his fruit cart to get out of the way. He had reason to get to his cart anyways, as the raging fires had begun to affect the southern entrance district, toppling a nearby set of office buildings.
Further out of the southern district, Lucas & James's precarious position had given way to bedrock. With Lucas being the closer of the two, the 4 cultists above ground all pulled out their Ishibari (Stone Needles), fanned out to better surround him, & then launched their special kunai from a mid-range distance. The one travelling underground would pop up in front of James, slice horizontally at him, & then pop back under the ground directly after the attack, whether it succeeded or not. Whack-a-mole anyone?
[ You may have seen the low-level Jashin already drinking, like they normally do. The others are all around the city, except for the castle at the center. The citizens do not go near the castle out of supersition, but I am not aware if the Jashin use it, ] the old, senile woman replied. [ Sometimes they try to set up shop in the black market district, & people suddenly start to disappear for a few weeks. Lately, a large amount of people have gone missing. Even if they're beggars, vagrants, & vagabonds, they don't deserve whatever the Jashin are doing to them. ] Stopping for a moment, she pointed towards a certain ladder, indicating that it went to that particular district. Heavy smoke could be smelled, & the old woman coughed rather roughly. [ From this intersection, you can also reach the southern entrance district, ] she hoarsely commented, covering her mouth to stem the tide of fried carbon.
Ganchou's door opened with a crack, & the door handle fell off in his hand. Moving forwards, he would find the river that he heard earlier, & the quartz had returned. It must have been a natural phenomenon particular the river, as a large gathering of it had covered the path leading away in front of him. Overhead of the river beside him, a well hole had been dug to access it, & heavy smoke choked the air from the raging fires above. Leading up the well, it would come out at a plaza that was burning to the ground on the northern side of the blackmarket district. If Ganchou decided to move onwards over the quartz path, his way would meet an intersection of paths to more intersections of paths. In such a way, the Sunagakure shinobi had found the underground labyrinth.
