Iri listens to Tobu, looking at him as she does. Then she looks to Lina.
"First off, I wouldn't disregard the words of the dying. But, maybe I'm just superstitious like that. Whatever it is, we'll talk about it, if you don't mind. And then I'll find out when the next solar eclipse is. Definitely gonna find out when that is."
She pauses for a moment, her mouth open like she's going to say something. Instead, her eyes seem to stare off, and Iri appears to be mumbling, though not audibly. Almost like she's talking to herself, and she seems to look out of the corner of her eye in the direction of the Ho Dojo. Then she shakes her head and continues.
"Tobu says he did tell someone. Ren, Kwubara, and Jin. It was that day Nekojiri's people came to the Kaze Dojo. They said they were just there to observe Reeve, but I kept defenses up anyway. It was a weird situation. But, it means I missed what Ookamimaru said. He says he thought he knew the exact date of the full moon, and meant to leave before then, but it came a day early."
Iri says this only to Tobu, as it doesn't need to be said aloud to the others. "Before you transform, I'd like to know about Jin, the dragon. Is what you did to him permanent? Any repercussions I need to tell him about? And of course Ookamimaru will be taken care of. You don't need to worry about that."

H4X "No, I doubt you'd want to know. I figure I'd like to know as well however."
She tilted her head back and closed her eyes. Her expression was strange, not happy, not angry, not sad, but something.
"It's probably nothing just the dying words of a psychic and a former friend. Died doing something that always will be impressive"
She didn't elaborate further. Instead turning away from the group, putting her hands behind her back.
Lina twitched but continued acting normal and did nothing to explain her motion. She scratched at something metal behind her ear for a moment, brushing her hair in the same motion. "Explain why it would be nothing."
Tier wasn't taking what she said lightly after what happened recently. He didn't address the subject of Tobu any further for now. The crisis had passed and there would be time for more questions later.

"It's probably nothing, it could be something. It's really something I don't know. I was told last millennium, and still somehow managed to never find out, always traveling enough to avoid the eclipse."
Her eyes looked back to Tier before turning back.

"I implanted part of my chakra into him, so I could let him do what I wanted.
Now I don't want to kill any of you guys, he won't either. It's save to let him out for now.
But just in case, ...
Ask Ookamimaru, he knows what to do.-"
The moon had dissapeared completely, and Tobu's transformation begins.
The smoke that had dissipated gathers around him, and forms an opaque orb around him.
It didn't protect him, it would only prevent people from seeing him.
The smoke absorbed any light, so it shouldn't be possible to see through.
From the inside, trange sound could be heard.
On one side, sounds of breaking bones, and tearing skin. on the other, the muted yelping of Tobu.
People who could see chakra signatures should be able to see the bright yellow chakra, belonging to Ookamimaru spread into his body again in a pulsating fashion, blending together with the black chakra, belonging to Tobu.
Tobu's chakra didn't dissapear, but it got surpressed until the two chakra's where in balance, though the bright one had the upper hand since it covered the brain area.
After about ten minutes, the orb lost it's shape, and got blown away by a small breeze, dissipating in the air.
Ookamimaru was laying on the ground, unconscious.
He had taken his former shape again, more human, if you don't count his grey skin, claws, pointed teeth and ears, tail, and digitigrade legs.
The pants he had worn was torn, but was still on its place.
In the ground where deep scratches made by paws which wheren't there any more, and the wounds on his arms and legs caused by the chains had started to bleed heavier.
Now there wasn't any fur any more, big burns could be seen on his shoulders, caused by Tobu jumping against Lina's electrical cage.
Both clones resembling Ookamimaru started to melt, and turned into the same oilish drab the rest had changed in.
The drab of the one in wind form, near Iri, wold be released when she cancels the technique.

Tier had turned his attention to Tobu's reverse transformation. He couldn't see anything in detail inside the orb but he did witness the chakra balance change inside Ookamimaru.
After the ten minutes had passed Tier could see that Ookamimaru was on the ground almost lifeless. There was a good amount of blood coming out of his wounded body.
"We have to patch him up before the damages threaten his life. Apparently you did damage that Tobu could take, but Ookamimaru can't."
Tier didn't have anything on his person to treat a wounded person.

"I can probably patch him up well enough. I'm going to drop and neither of you are going to want to touch me after I finish if nobody has one of those restore ki, chakra, whatever, pill things."
Lina started running her hands over her arms, pulling out something dark that didn't feel like anything. But still gave most people a feeling of something being extremely wrong. Whatever she was pulling out was pooling behind her for several moments before she started making somewhat forced looking and strange hand signs.

"There's a pill that restores ki?"
Iri looks interested in this idea. Then something occurs to her, and she holds out a palm. An amethyst the size of a dime appears, faintly glowing.
"How about this? It's energy I've collected, saving it for a time when I may need it. Unless there's compatibility issues, I don't mind you drawing from it."

"Speeds up the rate we regenerate it somehow. Raided a few from supplies when I first got here. Can't say what they were called though."
She looked at the offered energy then shook her head.
"With all I've used tonight I would rather not bring another person's energy into the mix. I could manage with a Rai user just because electricity is easy to filter between people."
Her hands finished her signs and she started putting the minimal amount of effort into healing him. The smell of burning flesh came from one of Lina's arms, something black dripped down the arm as she continued to heal him with her opposite hand. Bandages sliding down her arm and out from under the sleeve of her outfit. The material that made the bandages was rotting rapidly.
She dropped to her hands and knees.
"He should be safe to move, it took a bit less then I thought."

Kansou let out a bored sigh and aimed for Tier's head. She fired.

The bullet ricocheted off Tier's head as a flash of yellow chakra rippled across his exoskeleton. His single yellow eye immediately turned to the source of the gunshot as if it was second nature.
His exoskeleton was still at 90% output from the Tsuchi Dojo incident. Bullets were ineffective.
Tier spotted Kansou's chakra signature in the distance on a high tree branch. He formed several handseals and moved his arms in strange motions, "Krähetechniken: Schatten von Korruption (Shadows of Corruption)"
Tier went into a run towards Kansou's position as he fell to the ground in the form of a shadow.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!"
Kansou launched herself off the branch, letting the rifle fall to the forest floor. She gained speed and then stopped to drift. She would eventually stop, hidden in the canopy and using no justu whatever to hide her signature. After sufficient inactivity her body temperature would drop drastically and she would be nearly invisible.

"!?"
Iri turns and looks in the direction from which the bullet came. She sends a quick pulse through the air, this creating the same sense her air spies lend her, and recognizes Kansou before she hides.
"F*** me! Again?"
The amethyst in Iri's hand disappears. Then she takes a knee and scoops up her student in one arm. Though he's probably bigger than her, Iri doesn't seem to strain at all. The Fury looks down at Lina with concern.
"Thank you so much! I need to get Jin and Ookamimaru home now. Erm..."
Iri looks around. Now that she's disbanded her orbs, her security system isn't working so well. And neither are her senses. So...
"Reeve? Where'd you go?"
"I want to make sure you're safe first, though."

Lina stood up, shaking for a moment before her Ki completely extinguished, seemingly replaced by nothing. Her body stabilized and she looked serious. Her eyes wandering back tracing the shot's path, based off angle, sound etc, back to Kansou. Lina's eyes pointed at and followed Kansou casually. This target was simple to track with her Rai sense locking onto the brain's impulses.
"Get them out of here. I'll be fine."
Fumes were starting to rise from where the black liquid coming from Lina's arm dripped.

Iri nods, looking a little flabbergasted.
"Erm, if ya say so. And be careful!"
Both wings snap open and Iri takes off, debris kicking up with the wind stirred by her flight. Though the sun hasn't quite begun to rise, the Fury navigates her way through tree branches with ease. Then she's off in the direction of her home dojo.

The shadow traveling across the forest ground had added the shapes of two hands forming handseals against each other. Tier reformed with his back against a tree. He memorized the last area where he saw Kansou's chakra and thermal traces vanish. Tier's mouth seemed as if it were being bloated.
