Despite Shouri's questioning Noud only stared forward with a puzzled expression, and in fact the only indication that he was paying any attention at all to his disciple was the momentary ceasing of his scrolls rustling. "Hum.. If I recall correctly there are a couple of ninja who possess the Sakkakugan bloodline, but as far as being high-ranking? Well only one comes to mind there. I believe Miss Lahlil was her name? Bit of nut that one." An earth-quaking thud interrupted his own sentence as the admiral laid out the massive book he always kept at his side, revealing a near endless lists of every kind of jutsu imaginable. "My only experience with her was to find her sobbing on the steps of the academy, to which she promptly responded to my consoling with threats to rip apart my ribs. Still credit where credit is due, I've heard her skills as a ninja place her on par with Lady Chie herself. If you like I can take you to meet her once we get to the village, however." Hand reaching out to hand the book to Shouri and tap the open table of contents with two scruffy fingers. "You won't be impressing any ladies unless you get to training. I'll be here if have any questions."

__"Lahlil." Shouri repeated the name to himself to make a mental note of it. When Noud described her behavior he gulped in anxiety. The sakkakugan was rare and if she was the only person with mastery over it and was a total wacko then he was not sure how much she could help him. Although he would never admit it, he had enough mental challenges of his own to deal with and that the dojutsu was likely to make it even worse. "Why is everyone with these eyes so messed up?" Shouri lamented this and considered just ignoring the Sakkakugan and focusing on his Sharingan instead, but he did not want to be a complete family disgrace so that was out of the cards for him. His head was awhirl with apprehension until Noud joked about him wanting to impress her. A vein popped in his forehead and he tried to hold back his face flushing. "Shut up! It's not like that! I just need a few tips on how to figure this bloodline out." The rash dragon Uchiha did not even know what she looked like or who she was aside from Noud's characteristically cynical commentary. He then snatched the books from him and stomped off to begin training.
Shouri started voraciously reading the book on genjutsu. His eyes went over the text. Every single word. He read those words so hard. He now knew the techniques.
Magen: Kokuni Arazu no Jutsu [ Demonic Illusion: False Surrounding Technique ] | D Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu [ Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique ] | D Kokuangyou no Jutsu [ Journey into Black Darkness Technique ] | C Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu [ Sly Mind Affect Technique ] | C Jubaku Satsu [ Tree Binding Death ] | B Nemuri [ Sleep ] | B
Shouri continued reading from the genjutsu book. He looked at various technique descriptions and decided which ones he wanted to learn. He found that he could learn even the most complex illusions merely by reading how they worked. Perhaps his genetics made it easier for him to grasp genjutsu's complexities.
Niseshi no Gijutsu [ Art of Fake Death ] | B Musebu no Jutsu [ Smothering Skill ] | A Sakkaku no Meiun [ Vision of Doom ] | A Mental Barricades | A Mugen Yami [ Sight of Darkness ] | A Kibaku Zetsumei [ Exploding Death ] | A
Shouri read through some more genjutsu and focused more on the voice techniques. Each one scaled in its ability to influence others which may come in handy. Although, he was not comfortable with the idea of suppressing one's free will unless absolutely necessary. Having knowledge of such powerful techniques would also make him less likely to succumb to them.
Chissoku [ Suffocation ] | A Karada no Rinchi [ Beating of the Body ] | C Dokuji no Onsei [ Voice of the Peculiar ] | D Jouho no Koe [ Voice of Compromise ] | C Tokitsukeru no Koe [ Voice of Persuasion ] | B Eikyou no Koe [ Voice of Influence ] | A
Shouri read through some more illusions. He wanted to practice them but did not want to use his teacher as a target. He read through them in detail to understand the fundamentals. Eventually, he mastered the genjutsu.
Dusk Crow Genjutsu | A Shibirekan [ Numbness ] | A Kin'atsu no Shujouteki [ Emotional Suppression ] | A Buin no Senkusha [ Harbinger of Silence ] | A Itai Kanetsuki no Jutsu [ Painful Ringing Technique ] | B Ataeru Kanjoo no Jutsu [ Inflict Emotion Technique ] | B

Now that all the preparations had been completed, it was time to move out and head to Konohagakure. As the young girl picked up all of her belongings and cleaned up the scene, she would move out towards the village. She needed to conceal herself again and move through the forest to not be spotted. Once she got closer to the village, though, she would let up her technique and make her presence known. She didn't want to cause the village any kind of concern. She would make sure to sport her Uzushiogakure headband visibly once she reached the gates so that they would know she was an ally.
And eventually, she would make her way to the gates of the village and stand before them. She hoisted up her headband and waited to see if anyone took notice of it before speaking. "I am from Uzushiogakure on an assignment to check for invading forces. I found some and took one prisoner." That would be enough information at the gates so as to not give out every piece of what might be happening.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ ooc: Hey Eva! Whenever you post to Ozy, Zoe is at the "gates" of the village, lol. ]
For scenery around here most everything is going to look as if it was destroyed and then rebuilt poorly
At first nothing would respond to the to the shinobi girl request although a rustling would reveal that there must have been at least one person on top of the patchwork gates. This fact was only proven when a male Uzu shinobi was lifted up as if he was standing on the gate looking down. "Ahem. Yeah uh.. fellow uzu shinobi here. I've already checked it all out and there is no enemy forces here so you'd better just head home." Surely this would be a fine and dandy response for Zoe to go on her way no? Except of course if you didn't count the fact that this body had been very clearly dead for a long time. Whoever was puppeting him didn't even have the smarts to move his mouth to match the words! Instead his tongue was hanging out with the occasional fly landing on it.

When the display finally came and the words spoken with it, Zoe seemed to almost feel the dumbest expression she had ever felt on her face. It was so strong that she thought she had actually made it. She blinked once and then composed her own thoughts. "I see.." she started, by clearing her throat before the next few words. "Well it would be irresponsible of me to not at least investigate before I head back." From all of the investigating she had done over the last few weeks, she wasn't about to just turn around with such a sad display. Though she was a little worried about what kind of ninja would move the dead. Even with the constant adjustments of her eyes, she couldn't tell what was moving the body that was so obviously dead. She would have been lying to herself if she thought she could take a whole group alone, too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ ooc: Ooooo! Thanks for that! That was a cool entry! (Also, PS, I don't know how to fight in the guild yet with the DRs and activations because I don't understand them.) ]
It had been some days since Shisui departed from the demolished academy. From the fight. By the time he would eventually return the fighting of the titans would have hopefully passed. For now, he would await the wreckage to be cleared and adventure out into the world, no harm right? His adventures had taken him far from Uzushiogakure. Far from the island where his family had been laid to rest. This. This was the mainland. He had wandered through the thick forests for what seemed like days, hoping to find some civilization. Finally, a road made itself known to him. " Finally. No way I can keep pushing it at this rate." he murmured to himself, landing upon the clearing in the road. As he landed, not far ahead were the clear markers of something he had never seen. The gates of Konoha!
He stepped forward, taking in the sight. His splendor quickly turned to a sinking pit in his stomach. ' That...that smell' he said, cupping his hand over his mouth for a moment to shield the memory from bursting forth from the smell. The decay...the old rusted taste in the air. There were corpses nearby. Shisui looked ahead, seeing a young girl standing at the gates, looking up to what was clearly a body being manipulated...somehow. Shisui's jaw clenched as he thought of the desecration of the dead. Was this how the people who had slain his family treated them before he arrived home? Wait. Did this girl know what she was walking into? Shisui would approach hastily, attempting to intervene under the assumption the girl was a civilian. "Excuse m-" he stopped as he reached her side, seeing her headband tied tightly. He would exchange glances with the girl, returning his gaze to the man at the tower with his tongue still sticking out. She would clearly see his newly obtained headband tied to his forehead, it's long tails flowing behind him. The Uzushiogakure emblem boldly displayed. Surely she'd receive the message based on his expression and his eye gestures towards the man above. Shisui's first instinct? Strike first.
Seiko's pale blue eyes narrowed in on a hazy, purple ball. It bounced along in front of her, seemingly leading her along one of the many coastal pathways that wove through the land of fire. To anyone else, it would appear that the young-nin was out for a leisurely stroll, but in her own reality, she had been following this purple bouncing ball for what seemed like ages. Although her curiosity had worn out ages ago, she followed the illusion out of sheer habit. It wasn't the first time her mind manifested itself and it certainly wouldn't be the last.
A short while would pass before the purple ball took it's last bounce into the air and just stayed there. Seiko stopped abruptly in her tracks, her tunnel vision adjusting to take stock of her suddenly unfamiliar surroundings. The Uehara girl had traveled much farther than she realized, but what held her attention most was the figure the hazy purple shape had manifested into.
Although she was still a short distance away, it wasn't hard to discern that the figure was that of a person. The longer Seiko stared, the easier it was for her to see the crumbled remains of what may have been a large gate at one point. And, if she was being thorough, there were more bodies than just the one that belonged to the purple head of hair. The girl sucked in her teeth, debating for the moment if she should be acting on the tricks her brain played on her or not. At this point, it wasn't like she was invisible herself and at any moment she could be noticed, so for now she simply just watched.

As soon as Shisui showed up the body on top of the gate seemed to disappear behind the covered portion of the gate even though it's head hadn't even bothered to look in his direction. After a few seconds however it popped up back up. Seemed whoever was controlling the body was starting sweat under the pressure. "Uhh NO! nonono haha you see I uhm.. well I just can't seem to.. uh find the way to open this gate! So you and you're little boyfriend over there better just head back. Now that I think about it I had a partner who went missing so maybe you could search in the forest behind you?" To exercise his point the dead man's arm flung to point off in a random direction, but only really managed to noticeably break the bone at a weird angle. Obvious lies put aside, it was clear no amount of prodding would get the puppeteer to open the door.

As someone else approached from behind her, the young girl's eyes moved from the gates and over towards him. He displayed his Uzushiogakure headband quite clear. This made her feel like the kage had sent someone to check on her. Though it made sense, it did come off as she couldn't be trusted to finish the task alone. The worst part would be what happened next: the person on the other side of the gate, who was obviously an idiot, confirmed her suspicions quite clearly. They even mentioned the man who just showed up. She sighed heavily and turned her attention away from the Uzu shinobi and looked back at the gates. "That makes sense," she said quickly as her hands rose to her chest and weaved signs. "Luckily, I can absolutely help with that."
The young girl brought her hand up to her mouth and unleashed a straight blast of wind towards the gates. She tried to do this tactfully, but it hasn't worked out that way. She couldn't calculate for other people very well it seemed.

Shisui, who was standing with his attention turned on Zoe would take note of some commotion to his left. He shifted his eyes but for a moment to see another Kunoichi. ' another ally...or enemy?' he wondered, keeping note of her locaiton while turning to the body which seemed to have temporarily shrunk behind the gate. Upon returning to visibility, it was infuriating to Shisui. The mockery of the dead. This person was....playing with the body. He moved his hand to the generic looking Katana at his side and gripped it tightly. Just before he would move to scale the gates, the girl at his side acted. With a great blast of wind, she aimed to topple the already damaged gates. Shisui's eyes widened as he had not expected such a strong attack. He drew the weapon, stepping forward as he was unsure of what would come from the rubble and debris of the collapsing wall.
The longer the young genin watched the trio at the base of the crumbled gates, the harder it became for her clarity to remain just that -- clear. A putrid stink couldn't quite reach her nostrils, but it rose from the body furthest from her in the form of wiggling green lines. Seiko scrunched up her nose, the color of her eyes shifting to a milky pink hue. Dead men truly didn't tell any tales. The trio just ahead of her was actually just a pair. The one that had placed himself before the gates was merely a manipulated body, lacking a shine that the others possessed.
If his behaviors, or the awkwardly broken arm, didn't give his facade away then it would only be a matter of time before whatever was amiss would come to light. For the briefest of moments, Seiko considered just turning around and leaving. Obviously, she was farther from home than she should be, but what was worse? A village being destroyed, or one that already was? An odd grin spread across her lips as she decided that the question was silly and that neither benefit her in any way.
A sigh escaped her lips, "The walk back is too far.." Seiko rolled her shoulders, stood up a little straighter and walked closer to the pair as Zoe attempted to huff, puff and blow down the gates. She'd stop when she was a few meters behind them, hoping to see something interesting after the dust cleared, "Huh.. That was pretty clever."

A quick yelp could be heard as Zoe's wind crashed through the gate and violently torn apart the old wood that made up it's being. Splinters went flying in every direction but thankfully all went flying inward instead of at the group. A truly remarkable display for one so young. With the cloud of dust falling back to settle on the ground the trio would see that inside lay.. nothing! At least nothing directly out of the ordinary, with the lone exception of a dead body laying in the middle of the ground. It's form was much more mangled after it apparently was abandoned and thoroughly smashed in the wind attack.
Now Seiko on the other hand would be quite the different story. The pink hues of her Sakkakugan would be able to catch the faint traces of a life force running into a broken down guard house further on down the road. Strange enough however, was that the life force looked as if it was fragile. Whoever it belonged to was very likely only part.. alive?

Another person walked up from behind her right before she launched the wind technique, and Zoe held herself according to her training. She would not take any action against her, but would keep up her guard. The man had approached and probably have taken notice of her already. Zoe wasn't exactly skilled at sensing people. But with the massive cloud of dirt and dust covered the area, the young girl would draw a kunai with her left hand and cover her face with the sleeve of her right arm to prevent anything from getting in her eyes.
As the dust and rubble settled, nothing seemed to truly be left over. Her eyes moved about the area, ignoring the other two, for the moment. "This used to be a village, but the gates weren't guarding anything, or anyone.." She took a step forward, then glanced over her shoulder to the girl she recognized from Uzushiogakure at one time before. There were two village ninja out here. Hopefully they were support, even though she had dismissed such from being an option earlier. Zoe didn't know what to think of the scene as it played out before her and ended quite the same as her last encounter.
"Dead bodies don't move on their own, do they?" She had asked the question to the other two, though seemingly rhetorical, as she took another step forward. "I probably don't have to say this, but keep an eye out and if that body gets back up or one of our bodies start to move on their own, call it out."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ ooc: Woo for posting! Yay! ]
As Shisui kept his guard raised while the rubble settled, it was clear that nothing of danger remained in immediate sight. He lowered his katana, sighing with relief for a moment. He would move forward as Zoe offered her suggestion for the dead man at their side. He paused, looking to the man. His broken body, mangled and abused. He had been a puppet of the living. Most likely for someone's own twisted ambitions. He grimaced as he knelt at the man's side. He clasped his hands together, palms open and touching. "May this being who drown in his own torrent of suffering enter the presence of gods to attain peace." He clapped his hands twice, raising from his spot as he nodded to the man, acknowledgement of his past sacrifice. " Understood." He said solemnly to the kunoichi. He wasn't sure who exactly she was, less of who the girl behind them was who now stood at their heels. Shisui looked about. " Anybody see where they went?"
As the dust settled from the purple haired kunoichi's jutsu, Seiko did her best to ignore the whispy, serpentine figures that slithered down the abandoned road into nothingness. Even with her Sakkakugan active, the lines between her mind's manifestations and reality still blended together. By now, she was more than used to her hallucinations and the distraction it caused. They affected only her anyway. Most of the time.
Because of this, it took her a moment to process what Zoe and Shisui had said, so her response was preceded with few seconds of silence, "No, they don't." She spoke in regard to Zoe's rhetorical question, but didn't shift her attention toward her. Instead, her visage was settled on a small building further down the road, "Someone else has to do that. And.. would you lookie here."
Seiko stepped past the two, making a small, graceful leap over the dead and decaying body. They could follow her if they wanted, or had the intuition to. Either way, communicating what was on her mind had never been the girl's strong suit. Her stride was deliberate enough to indicate she was going to one of the only standing, though broken down, buildings on the road.
As she approached, her gaze remained glued to the specific area in which she could interpret a very fragile life force, "Hello, hello?" she called to the building with a sing-song voice, her small frame pushing against it's door to pry it open.
