The area in which a rogue member of the Sons of Helios given the name 'Honey' resides the floor is covered in metallic plating reminiscent of honeycombs. What currently lines the ceilings seem to be large glowing sacks of yellow liquid. What's inside is anyone's guess but this would be where out hero Kagerou Kiritani would find herself landing.

There it was. That word again. Kagerou could only give an inwards sigh. The only sign of such being a prolonged blink. There it was, that word again. It was... how many people already? Well, she had come to terms with it back when it was used to describe her the first time. Logically, at least. Emotionally, it still pricked her at times, the past haunting her with whispers. However, that was emotionally. She could only allow emotions to control her so much on a subjugation mission.
If Kagerou was to say she was surprised with what happened next, then she would be half-lying. This was always the risk of being even the slightest bit soft, being taken advantage of and having the tables turned. Though, at least this time, it didn't appear too bad.
Honeycomb designs lined the floor in metal and hanging from the ceiling above were sacks that appeared to be filled with honey. Although, Kagerou knew better than to assume. Her smile had been replaced with an "oh" of mild surprise, but now, her lips quirked up again. All this place needed were a few sunflowers and she'd be reminded of Nozomi... Nozomi... now no longer of the same village as her. Village patriotism. Shinobi paranoia. Well, Kagerou had already spent so much of her downtime deliberating over such subjects, now wasn't the time. She could just be glad that this organization, if Green could be believed, and she did believe him, wasn't evil.
She had to guess that she was in Honey's domain right now. That assumption... it wouldn't be a terribly dangerous on to make, right? Honey the medic?
Speaking to the room in general, Kagerou asked, "Mm. Well, nice to meet you Honey, I presume? Were you able to hear the conversation we we having with Green? Do you also like puns?". It wasn't like the fight had started yet, so might as well see if Kagerou could somehow see eye to eye with her opponent, especially since it was said that Honey was a medic.

Class Disciplines ____Support Specialist → The user is capable of conferring a moderate stat boost to any ally that they desire. This stat boost can be what ever the medic wishes, however it can only go on one ally for as long as the medic wishes. Additionally to this, the medic is able to use healing eseijutsu on an ally from a distance as opposed to having to touch them. The range for this is fifty [50] feet. ____Inscriptions of Power → Through tireless study and practice ninja of this discipline have learned to create fuuinjutsu that is stronger than those of their peers. Gaining the property of overwhelming all fuunjutsu will defeat techniques of the same rank unless they also overwhelm same rank, in which case they will cancel out. Universal Attributes
• Kiritani Heritage - The Kiritani, the maternal side of Kagerou's family, have a long tradition of serving Kirigakure from the shadows and high standards to match. Being able to cast techniques without hand signs is what they consider the bare minimum, and they expect no less from Kagerou despite her Uchiha surname. Kagerou can replace hand signs/seals with equivalent gestures and motion from the wrists or fingers of one hand. • Hippocratic Oath - Whatever it takes from her, Kagerou is determined to save every life she can, more so than taking any. When a healing eiseijutsu is used, a single healing or situational eiseijutsu of lower rank can be supplemented onto it for no extra cost in chakra or activation. This includes augment techniques. • Nightmare Veteran - There's really no place like home. Even genjutsu struggles to match hellish nightmare created from the mind of an exhausted Jack, and this experience, along with several others, has left the already naturally calm Kagerou even better suited to remain composed in the face of any pressure. She is adept at seeing through genjutsu, and even when she can't (or if the horror turns out to not be genjutsu at all), she's still incredibly difficult to ruffle to the point that once Kagerou recognizes the genjutsu, it loses much of its potency. A recognized genjutsu of lower rank than Kagerou cannot inflict real injuries on Kagerou, and while her physical body within the genjutsu is still affected as normal--being pushed, pulled, bound, or what have you--emotional and other strictly mental sensations have no hold on her. • Inkapocalypse - You thought this was a pun on Inka, but it was me! Dio! Bad jokes aside, the PA really isn't about Inka. Dissatisfied by her cluelessness during the Sero pod event, Kagerou spent days researching sealing, and through sheer repetition, it's become easier for her to use seals. She can write seals up to her body rank on the fly, using even her own chakra manifestation if necessary. Writing a seal takes up the same activation as using it, and in the case when her chakra manifestation is used to form a seal, her chakra becomes visible to the naked eye and she can only extend her manifestation as far as 1m away from her body. For the purposes of this PA, Fuuinjutsu includes the Kuchiyose techniques. When a chakra manifestation seal absorbs something, said something is considered to be stored within her chakra manifestation until it is later released with the appropriate technique. • Blood Moon - In the light of the blood moon, Kagerou maintained her calm and spread it to others. Since then, such a practice has imprinted itself into her eiseijutsu. Targets of Kagerou's eiseijutsu can korabo their kai with the eiseijutsu technique, increasing the strength of their kai by one rank. As per korabo rules, the eiseijutsu technique and kai must be the same base rank.
Medical Job Attributes
• Iryo-nin I - Kagerou can retrain [Medical] jutsu into those with a [MEDIC] tag on the end of them. [MEDIC] jutsu exhibit healing properties equal to their rank and are considered to be [Medical] and eiseijutsu. • A Sound Mind I - Due to her training in the psychiatry medical field, Kagerou knows when someone is deceiving her. Note that this does not mean she knows the details of the deception, such as how she is being deceived, what she is being deceived on, to what extent the deception goes, etc. This PA can be countered by either an opposing PA and a higher rank in the psychiatry medical field or by a technique above or at Kagerou's body rank that can obscure truth and lies. • A Sound Mind II - Due to her training in the psychiatry medical field, Kagerou is adept at deceiving others. She doesn't give those telltale signs, down to even the smallest detail, that others use as indicators of truth and lie. This PA can be countered by either an opposing PA and equal ranks in the psychiatry medical field or by a technique above or at Kagerou's body rank that can discern truth from lies.
Kagerou wouldn't get a response. In fact, after she'd spoken, she would start to hear soft weeps echoing in the room. If she followed these sounds she'd find huddled in a corner what appeared to be a female clad in armor, not unlike the green ant holding her knees up to her chest as though in a fetal position. It begged the question if she was crying where exactly were those tears going. "I can't believe he said he had no friends here. *whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine* What am I chopped liver. *whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine*" It seems one of Kagerou's questions was answered. She had indeed heard the Green Ants conversation. It was kind of a pitiful sight to be fair and honest. "I'll never make another ant pun again. I'm going to ANTagonize Green til he dies. *WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE*"
If Kagerou approached for well, the endearing motherly reasons she often had as soon as she'd take another step forward something wouldn't feel right. Her personal ability to have a sound sense of mind as it were would blink red. As convincing as this act would have seemed to be to a normal shinobi it was laden with deception. If she'd look up a massive grouping of those yellow pot looking things would be above her but it would have to be a quick glance or it would rouse suspicion. Far outnumbering those that were casually scattered around the area. One of two scenarios would unfurl here. If Kagerou went against her gut instinct she could continue playing the fool and try to outfool the one trying to fool her or if she took too long or garnered too much suspicion the following would occur.
-Branching Path-
Honey if coming to the realization her super great plan failed to succeed would simply say "Oh poo." to where the sacks above Kagerou would burst, but not with liquid, instead they would be filling the room with what could be considered something akin to the hidden mist justu only... yellow and stickier as the tiny particles clung to the skin creating an icky feeling. Honey would then stand to reveal hidden rather well on her person was a spear that initially was 1/4th its size before extending fully to a length that would have been in range of Kagerou for easy impalement had she only come closer, yet there would be no visible hostility from the armored woman despite her clear attempts at deception when she stood with her spear at the ready.

[For the record: 1.5 antnadoes, 7.5k normal green ants total, sealed in a scroll.]
The ringing of the bells on Kagerou's wrist, sounding out each step, suddenly stopped. Seeing the weeping girl made Kagerou pause. She... had been expecting an enemy. She had been expecting possibly another kid. She hadn't been expecting an enemy who was so defenseless, and not because of anything serious like being scared to fight, but because the one above had refused to acknowledge her as a friend. Now, Kagerou wasn't trying to say being neglected as a friend wasn't important. It very much was. However, this girl was either incredibly emotional or setting a trap to be crying and wailing over such a slight when she knew full well an enemy, a dirty, evil shinobi who has no qualms with mercilessly killing her, was coming to her.
Other than her overexaggerated acting, which Kagerou admitted actually could fool some people. After all, the voice was a perfect match for the loud, conventionally annoying cries. Anyways, other than that, what caught Kagerou's eye were the cluster of honey bags hanging directly above the girl. Sure, they were everywhere, but not as grouped as they were in that one little section.
In fact, the act was so obvious that Kagerou kind of didn't even want to deceive the deception for deception inception. Of course, didn't want to didn't necessary mean that she wasn't going to, and of course, she wasn't going to be needlessly mean just because she had to fight the girl.
The pause in her steps when she was just close enough to confirm that what she was seeing was a teenaged temper tantrum would hopefully be taken as an innocent reaction. After all, at least half of the reason was genuine and unrelated to Kagerou assuming that this girl was setting a trap for her.
The ringing of Kagerou's bells resumed as she walked closer. Perhaps the girl would see Kagerou reach sneakily into her projectile pouch. For a... kunai? Shuriken? Paper bomb?
No, for a green coin, and with a bit of comical difficulty. Kagerou had to struggle with pulling her wrist out a couple times, presumably because her bells were getting caught in her pouch because, when she pulled out the coin, the bells were nowhere to be seen. Kagerou, having paused her steps to struggle with her disobedient bells, took the opportunity to give a casual flip of the coin and catch it. She stood, perhaps incidentally, perhaps intentionally, out of a good prediction of the explosion ranges of the golden sacks hanging above the ceiling. "Now now," the brown-haired kunoichi spoke gently, her voice lilting lightly, "That there was a dec-ant pun. You guys exchange coins for those, right?". The coin was flipped in Honey's direction, and unlike the rude ant from before, Kagerou did aim so that it would be easy to catch.
Secretly, the coin flip was... just a coin flip. Nothing would happen if Honey caught the coin. There was nothing on the coin. However, what had happened before the coin, while Kagerou's hand was digging in her projectile pouch, were a serious of finger taps that cast a technique, and what happened as Honey watched the coin flip through the air was the placement of said technique, Echo of Lament.
"I'm a medic, and a certified psychologist. Let me see where it hurts..." Kagerou gave away while she still stood still. Soothing assurance, but if Honey saw Kagerou as an enemy, then she should be pushed to action by such a valuable warning, "Attack me before I can touch you."
One step. Two step. Kagerou had just entered the danger zone. "Cling." "Oops?" with a delayed reaction, Kagerou turned to look at what had fallen. One of the green ant's coins. She'd already taken two more steps by then. Blushing sheepishly, Kagerou scratched her ear. The wiggle of her finger set another genjutsu on the place she stepped. Iwa no Jutsu [ Rock Technique ]. Then she turned back around and crouched down to pick up the coin she had dropped, turning her back to Honey. In the blink of an eye, with just the rotations of her wrists, she had jotted down another seal, which, when she stood up, would be hard to see behind her feet. Fuuinjutsu: Shunshin no Jutsu [ Seal Release: Instant Movement Technique ]
You know, assuming she was allowed to stand up in the first place. She may have only been on the edge of the cluster of sacks conspicuously placed above Honey, but a turned back is a turned back.

"Like, oh my gosh? You know the code? It's soooo dumb. Can't believe Oka-san made it mandatory." Honey watched and caught the coin in her free hand and looked down at it only to question Kagerou. "Really? Only one green? Geeze you're hard to impress huh. Decent..DecANT..but its spelled ..Dec..ant. Was that your attempt? You know to decant something means to like drain like a thick booze right? Two points. You don't get a honey hex for that as one honey hex is worth five greens but I guess it fits what was going to happen." Honey would then watch as Kagerou genjutsu'd herself to fall over. "Uh oh. Well oh well. Can't tell em to stop now." as soon as Kagerou fell into the range of the honey sack looking things they'd all burst. Flooding from above would be an ocean of sticky yellow substance. Its purpose was to well, prevent Kagerou from moving, it was likely when she would be made unable to move earlier honey planned on straight stabbing her dead then and there in one clean execution. That may still very well have been the case. If she looked up right after these sacs burst she'd see they were more than just mere sacs, they were sacs belonging to ants. A huddle of six above looking down before burrowing into the ceiling.
If it missed the honey would spread across the ground covering a vast majority of the tiles below in their substance. Kagerou would have to use here water walking skill quickly here less she became entrapped by the gooey liquid practically cementing her shoes to the ground. "You're a psyche huh. Neat. I'm a neurosurgeon. Or rather was a neurosurgeon." In the time Kagerou would need to have molded the chakra to walk atop the substance unhindered Honey was still standing behind her but of course out of sight. But from the sticky substance, Kagerou would then feel...a crawling sensation. Eyes moving to the honey what looked like little bee larva cracking out of their tiny prisons wiggled out sifting through the honey to start crawling up her body. They'd start to invade her person looking for areas and openings for which to crawl into. Then would come the feeling of several tiny stings on her body. The sound of their wings would beat, the sight of them would not leave as they naturally appeared to be coming from the liquid in droves. It wasn't hard to believe that inside this substance insects were being cultivated. Green's giant green ants had to come from somewhere. Something had to have been producing the army. Would it be so hard to believe that Honey was more than a medic but the mother to the insects? That factoid was true but what Kagerou was experiencing was not but would she be able to discern that fallacy in time. Yet it would beg the question of how was honey applying this technique that would normally require an individual touch a target. Why that was simple. If Kagerou somehow evaded all contact with the sticky yellow liquid none of what was stated earlier would happen. She'd be simply standing over a large puddle of sticky liquid facing Honey face to face only having just been informed of her previous career. A neurosurgeon at what sounded like the age of a teenager? Kagerou despite the girls earlier whines would have been facing a prodigal child...and had her earlier attempts made contact with Kagerou...honey would say the following.
"Have you ever wanted to be a mommy? Maybe it's pretty harsh, doing this after giving me a green...but right now. You're going to be one soon. Did you know? Some insect stingers are ovipositors? Those aren't bees. They're a thing called parasitoid wasps. I think you can draw to your own conclusions based on that." Of course she'd have no reason to say it if Kagerou wasn't under her influence.
Combat Data:
Combat Medic: Combat Medic: Shinobi of this discipline gain the ability to pay for their simple taijutsu using chakra. This does not alter its strength in collisions in any way from a standard simple technique. Furthermore medical learning reductions gained from this class, also count towards taijutsu learning reductions and the shinobi gains two tai slots, one at D rank and the other at C rank. The user also gains access to this technique:
Technique Name: Strength of a Hundred Rank: S Type: Fuuinjutsu Description: This Technique is the absolute pinnacle for a medical nin. With almost perfect chakra control, the shinobi is able to begin storing chakra in the center of their forehead and seal it there. This takes shape in the form of a pink diamond. The shinobi is able to seal away 250 chakra for later use. When used it battle, it causes black bands to wrap around the user and release the chakra back to the user. At the same time the user gains super regenerative powers, capable of surviving almost any attack, though you cannot regenerate from your head being removed, or your body being entirely destroyed from the shoulders down. Other methods of lethal injury that may not involve direct physical damage, such as having your soul sealed into a Shiki Fujin, also cannot be healed through. This lasts for 4 posts and can only be used once per battle.
Inception: With Genjutsu, realism and the sensory ability of the target factor heavily into the ability of the victim to realize they are in a genjutsu. With practice and discipline, the shinobi may select one [1] genjutsu Sense that may be added as a Secondary sense to any technique, as well as choose one Sense of Choice that will forever cost one [1] rank less in cost as long as the casted genjutsu's primary sense is the chosen sense. Once these two [2] choices are made, they cannot be switched, so choose wisely.
Techniques Used: •Used By Ants: Honey Pot Ant Secret Art- Sticky Business Rank: S For each honey pot ant contributing to the technique the techniques overall rank increases by [1]. The honeypot ants abdomen releases its stored honey like nutrients in a flood of sticky syrup like waves. When making contact the target loses a [Slight] amount of [Speed] per rank of the technique and becomes bogged down significantly by the heavy syrup like substance making movement incredibly slow and difficult. It also floods a terrain should it miss reducing [Speed] by half the total descriptives that would have been lost on direct contact if attempting to walk atop it.
• Sasori Muragaru [ Scorpion Swarm ] →→Rank: B →→P/S. Sense: Touch // Touch - Applied Sound - Applied Sight →→Base Duration // Upkeep: 2 Posts // 15 Chakra →→Source: Original →→Description: A Genjutsu that makes the target believe they have dozens of black scorpions crawling all over their body. On their head, face, feet, inside and outside their clothing, everywhere. It attempts to make them freeze out of fear, and if the user decides to make the scorpion's ‘sting’, the idea that they have been lethally poisoned can make the opponent actually break out in cold sweat and raise their body temperature to a feverish state. This “stinging” can be triggered by an additional C - ranked cost. • Musebu no Jutsu [ Smothering Skill ] →→Rank: A →→P/S. Sense: Touch // - →→Base Duration // Upkeep: 2 Posts // 45 Chakra →→Source: →→Description: The victim suddenly starts to experience acute claustrophobia, followed along side the feeling of suffocation, which oppressively tricks them into not breathing. It becomes ineffective as soon as the victim passes out. Unlike other similar jutsus that have an end case of paralytics, this one tricks the target into believing that they are or have become paralytic, freeing the user from having to solely focus on the jutsu.

She hadn't genjutsu'd herself to fall over, but if that was what Honey thought Kagerou was doing when she crouched down, then so be it.
Anyways, going down had led to an attack like Kagerou expected. Two things happened in that instant.
Echo of Lament activated, making it appear like Kagerou had taken the attack. From head to toe, the visual illusion had her drenched in honey, the sticky liquid making it hard to move. Though, it didn't move after long, instead freezing, stuck between freezing in fear and itching at the stinging pain. Pupils contracted. Breathing became irregular and shallow. Honey didn't know Kagerou, so Kagerou milked that for all it was worth.
Meanwhile, the real Kagerou had... shunshined to the ceiling, hanging on with the wall climbing technique as she watched what Honey would do. Well, more like, collected herself. She found herself shivering and short of breath all while painful stings wracked her body. This... was she poisoned?
Maybe if Honey hadn't started talking, Kagerou would have jumped to her own conclusions. Maybe. Kagerou's strong point was her intelligence, after all (sometimes). Bugs from the honey. Ovipositors. Those were the explanations, and those explanations didn't fit. Realizing one genjutsu wasn't an illusion, she could bear the painful pricks while dispelling the notion that they were toxic... or impregnating her... Also, not to mention, wasps? Kagerou was pretty sure she saw ants climbing back into the ceiling. A little disappointing. She had been hoping for bees, a little bit. Would have reminded her of Nozomi.
The other genjutsu, was more difficult. It swelled an unfamiliar sensation of panic in Kagerou, but she couldn't discount its symptoms as not being some sort of airborne toxic. Regardless, she was sure it was an artificial emotion she felt. She focused, and her mindset shifted appropriately.
Silently, with a few subtle motions of her hand, Kagerou cast and aimed Suishouha [ Water Collision Destruction ] at Honey, sending forth a deluge of water. The sheer size of the attack, despite being so blunt and simple, made up for any lack in delicacy.

Shunshin no Jutsu [ Body Flicker Technique ] Rank: D Official Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. The Shinobi will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly. To facilitate the movement the Shinobi will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance. As such, an 'air' or 'feeling' will pervade the area before usage. Guild Description: See official description. Maximum of 1 mile. Further mileage requires 1 D-ranked per each mile. Shunshin no Jutsu [ Body Flicker Technique ] in any form can only be used three [3] times per battle. This technique only works in regards to transporting oneself from one place to another. This technique cannot allow someone to attack someone in a body flicker.
Kinobori no Waza [ Act of Tree Climbing ] Rank: X (Learned as D-ranked) Official Description: Kinobori no Waza, the art of tree climbing serves a dual purpose. Taking part in Kinobori Shugyou [ Tree Climbing Training ] helps a Shinobi learn how to focus their Chakra. It also teaches the Shinobi how to run up trees and walk on vertical walls. The training helps the Shinobi learn how to focus just the right amount of Chakra to a particular part of their body. The amount needed to climb is small but it must be precise. The feet are regarded as the hardest location to master Chakra focusing. So by gaining the art of this skill, the Shinobi will have any Jutsu available (theoretically) because they will be able to focus their Chakra as needed. Guild Description: See official description. Does not take up space on the profile, but must have listed. Requires an E-rank upkeep cost per post of use. From there, the user can utilize the technique to effectively anchor themselves to a surface to prevent losing footing and falling, for an amount of chakra equivalent to the technique they are anchoring themselves from.
Suishouha [ Water Collision Destruction ] | Rank S Using large amounts of chakra, the user creates water from thin air and forms so much that it creates a mini-tidal wave. The water then does not dissipate for the duration of the battle, thus creating an arena where the user has a large advantage. If the climate is exceptionally arid, such as a desert, the water only lasts for a short while before draining into the sand. The depth of the water once the wave has settled is anywhere between 8 to 10 feet.
Iwa no Jutsu [ Rock Technique ] →→Rank: E →→P/S. Sense: Instant // - →→Base Duration // Upkeep: Instant (1) // 10 Chakra →→Source: Triggered Trap →→Description: A simple Genjutsu that makes the victim see a very sharp rock protruding out of the ground, causing the victim to trip over the “rock” and fall in avoidance. This effect requires a set location, and triggers by someone stepping on it. The next step taken will have the rock.

Class Disciplines ____Support Specialist → The user is capable of conferring a moderate stat boost to any ally that they desire. This stat boost can be what ever the medic wishes, however it can only go on one ally for as long as the medic wishes. Additionally to this, the medic is able to use healing eseijutsu on an ally from a distance as opposed to having to touch them. The range for this is fifty [50] feet. ____Inscriptions of Power → Through tireless study and practice ninja of this discipline have learned to create fuuinjutsu that is stronger than those of their peers. Gaining the property of overwhelming all fuunjutsu will defeat techniques of the same rank unless they also overwhelm same rank, in which case they will cancel out. Universal Attributes
• Kiritani Heritage - The Kiritani, the maternal side of Kagerou's family, have a long tradition of serving Kirigakure from the shadows and high standards to match. Being able to cast techniques without hand signs is what they consider the bare minimum, and they expect no less from Kagerou despite her Uchiha surname. Kagerou can replace hand signs/seals with equivalent gestures and motion from the wrists or fingers of one hand. • Hippocratic Oath - Whatever it takes from her, Kagerou is determined to save every life she can, more so than taking any. When a healing eiseijutsu is used, a single healing or situational eiseijutsu of lower rank can be supplemented onto it for no extra cost in chakra or activation. This includes augment techniques. • Nightmare Veteran - There's really no place like home. Even genjutsu struggles to match hellish nightmare created from the mind of an exhausted Jack, and this experience, along with several others, has left the already naturally calm Kagerou even better suited to remain composed in the face of any pressure. She is adept at seeing through genjutsu, and even when she can't (or if the horror turns out to not be genjutsu at all), she's still incredibly difficult to ruffle to the point that once Kagerou recognizes the genjutsu, it loses much of its potency. A recognized genjutsu of lower rank than Kagerou cannot inflict real injuries on Kagerou, and while her physical body within the genjutsu is still affected as normal--being pushed, pulled, bound, or what have you--emotional and other strictly mental sensations have no hold on her. • Inkapocalypse - You thought this was a pun on Inka, but it was me! Dio! Bad jokes aside, the PA really isn't about Inka. Dissatisfied by her cluelessness during the Sero pod event, Kagerou spent days researching sealing, and through sheer repetition, it's become easier for her to use seals. She can write seals up to her body rank on the fly, using even her own chakra manifestation if necessary. Writing a seal takes up the same activation as using it, and in the case when her chakra manifestation is used to form a seal, her chakra becomes visible to the naked eye and she can only extend her manifestation as far as 1m away from her body. For the purposes of this PA, Fuuinjutsu includes the Kuchiyose techniques. When a chakra manifestation seal absorbs something, said something is considered to be stored within her chakra manifestation until it is later released with the appropriate technique. • Blood Moon - In the light of the blood moon, Kagerou maintained her calm and spread it to others. Since then, such a practice has imprinted itself into her eiseijutsu. Targets of Kagerou's eiseijutsu can korabo their kai with the eiseijutsu technique, increasing the strength of their kai by one rank. As per korabo rules, the eiseijutsu technique and kai must be the same base rank.
Medical Job Attributes
• Iryo-nin I - Kagerou can retrain [Medical] jutsu into those with a [MEDIC] tag on the end of them. [MEDIC] jutsu exhibit healing properties equal to their rank and are considered to be [Medical] and eiseijutsu. • A Sound Mind I - Due to her training in the psychiatry medical field, Kagerou knows when someone is deceiving her. Note that this does not mean she knows the details of the deception, such as how she is being deceived, what she is being deceived on, to what extent the deception goes, etc. This PA can be countered by either an opposing PA and a higher rank in the psychiatry medical field or by a technique above or at Kagerou's body rank that can obscure truth and lies. • A Sound Mind II - Due to her training in the psychiatry medical field, Kagerou is adept at deceiving others. She doesn't give those telltale signs, down to even the smallest detail, that others use as indicators of truth and lie. This PA can be countered by either an opposing PA and equal ranks in the psychiatry medical field or by a technique above or at Kagerou's body rank that can discern truth from lies.
Honey would c**k her head. "Odd..most people would panic right about now?" Her eyes were fixated on the 'illusory' Kagerou in front of her. The image cast of her made it clear the attack hit but it wasn't doing much else aside. Taking a step forward finally she'd look down momentarily. A rock? On floor made of primarily metal? That didn't make much sense..that didn't stop her from near tumbling over it quite simply due to how clumsy she was. She'd fall in her own pool of honey, but it seemed her suit granted her immunities to the sticky substance as it slowly slid off as she got back to standing again slowly but surely...only it was then that she'd notice a torrent of waters coming down from above. "Poopie." She was still a bit shaken from her fall so to produce an attack fast enough in response would prove too difficult. "Guess I gotta..." Honey would touch something on her belt and what appeared to be a bubble would surround her. The water then flooded the cave having no place to escape washing away the honey that was presently partially flooding it as it diluted and became indistinguishable between the waves.
That wasn't the issue though. If the real Kagerou was suffering the effects of her prior Genjutsu it meant that even if her attack hadn't landed in full force as it was intended she had indeed made contact with it. This meant that part two of Honey's ploy would be able to follow through. Emerging from the waters would be the armor-clad girl floating to the surface. The bubble disappearing. As Shion had stated earlier the UHV were in possession of these 'shielding' devices that would spare them injury, but they would also have an undisclosed length of time before they could be used again. The former bright yellowish pink on her belt dimmed. Landing delicately on the surface of the waters the cave which she inhabited and called her domain was half full. She would certainly need a lot of that honey substance but this also made the distance between her and the real Kagerou closer than before.
Although what came out of Honey's mouth showed she wasn't shaken. "I wasn't lying you know. Oka-san gave me the name honey because my jurisdiction falls under all insects that produce nutrition. Honey-pot ants are just one of my species. I can prove it and make you BEElieve me." A majority of her tiles were now covered in water. Although there were some that were on the edges of the walls that hadn't been immersed. She fiddled with a contraption on her arm and these hex like plates opened to reveal they were actually doors. Inside there were large bees, in some hornets specifically of the hymenopteran genus, some cells filled with honeycombs. Raucous buzzing filled the room when these doors were opened only for Honey to close them again.
"I don't know for sure if they got you or not. Since you pulled a sneaky on me. But, I was serious when I said you'd be a mommy if they did." Likely now at this point or perhaps as soon as Honey started talking she would feel it in her tummy. A squirmy feeling. The sound of something writhing inside her. The taste of blood on the tip of her tongue a sign that something was not well inside her. A crawling feeling stacked atop the feeling of suffocation that would make a mind go numb adding to the realism of the situation unfolding. The reasoning that honey only dealt in ants could no longer serve as an appropriate counter logic. Based on the reasoning she did, in fact, keep bees and anyone who knew insects would know that Honey-pot ants needed to gorge on something to produce their 'honey sacs' and what they were being fed was the honey being produced by the bees and hornets. In a sense, the bees were the method of production, the ants the method of transport.
Combat Data:
Combat Medic: Combat Medic: Shinobi of this discipline gain the ability to pay for their simple taijutsu using chakra. This does not alter its strength in collisions in any way from a standard simple technique. Furthermore medical learning reductions gained from this class, also count towards taijutsu learning reductions and the shinobi gains two tai slots, one at D rank and the other at C rank. The user also gains access to this technique:
Technique Name: Strength of a Hundred Rank: S Type: Fuuinjutsu Description: This Technique is the absolute pinnacle for a medical nin. With almost perfect chakra control, the shinobi is able to begin storing chakra in the center of their forehead and seal it there. This takes shape in the form of a pink diamond. The shinobi is able to seal away 250 chakra for later use. When used it battle, it causes black bands to wrap around the user and release the chakra back to the user. At the same time the user gains super regenerative powers, capable of surviving almost any attack, though you cannot regenerate from your head being removed, or your body being entirely destroyed from the shoulders down. Other methods of lethal injury that may not involve direct physical damage, such as having your soul sealed into a Shiki Fujin, also cannot be healed through. This lasts for 4 posts and can only be used once per battle.
Inception: With Genjutsu, realism and the sensory ability of the target factor heavily into the ability of the victim to realize they are in a genjutsu. With practice and discipline, the shinobi may select one [1] genjutsu Sense that may be added as a Secondary sense to any technique, as well as choose one Sense of Choice that will forever cost one [1] rank less in cost as long as the casted genjutsu's primary sense is the chosen sense. Once these two [2] choices are made, they cannot be switched, so choose wisely.
Techniques Used: • Boufura no Ekirei [ Plague of Maggots ] →→Rank: S →→P/S. Sense: Touch // Sight, Taste, {Sound Applied} →→Base Duration // Upkeep: 3 Posts // 90 Chakra →→Source: Original →→Description: A highly disgusting but effective Genjutsu. Upon performing a few seals, the opponent will feel a slight squirming in their belly as if they’ve been infested by live maggots. After a moment the squirming will turn into sharp pains, as the “maggots” will begin eating their way from inside their body. Sharp pains will turn into agony as the user can feel every tiny mouth ripping and eating the skin tissue and tendons until finally, they break through. Hundreds of fat white maggots will spill out of the torn stomach and writhe on the ground, usually resulting in the user collapsing unconscious from pain, shock or horror. • Sasori Muragaru [ Scorpion Swarm ] {Upkeep} →→Rank: B →→P/S. Sense: Touch // Touch - Applied Sound - Applied Sight →→Base Duration // Upkeep: 2 Posts // 15 Chakra →→Source: Original →→Description: A Genjutsu that makes the target believe they have dozens of black scorpions crawling all over their body. On their head, face, feet, inside and outside their clothing, everywhere. It attempts to make them freeze out of fear, and if the user decides to make the scorpion's ‘sting’, the idea that they have been lethally poisoned can make the opponent actually break out in cold sweat and raise their body temperature to a feverish state. This “stinging” can be triggered by an additional C - ranked cost. • Musebu no Jutsu [ Smothering Skill ] {Upkeep} →→Rank: A →→P/S. Sense: Touch // - →→Base Duration // Upkeep: 2 Posts // 45 Chakra →→Source: →→Description: The victim suddenly starts to experience acute claustrophobia, followed along side the feeling of suffocation, which oppressively tricks them into not breathing. It becomes ineffective as soon as the victim passes out. Unlike other similar jutsus that have an end case of paralytics, this one tricks the target into believing that they are or have become paralytic, freeing the user from having to solely focus on the jutsu.

Kagerou doubled over with the strange sensation. She could doubt now, but her thought process pierced straight through the settling fog. Like this, whether she believed or not, she would not be able to fight. Her mind could use as much reason as it wanted, her body would still be pulled and messed with according to the whims of genjutsu. The prickling pain all over her body was just a minor annoyance, but when paired with an almost crippling pain in her stomach and the effects of partial asphyxiation setting in, Kagerou knew she needed to recover.
Her fingers clenched against her stomach and convulsed with, seemingly, pain. She cast Diagnosis [ Shindan ], and just in case as she heard Honey talking, Kiyomaru [ Cleanse ], to discreetly rid herself of any honey. Even if she was lying about the grubs. The results revealed no foreign objects in her body, poisonous or otherwise. Okay, so she wasn't being eaten inside out and she wasn't poisoned... unless it was a genjutsu to lull her into a sense of security and this was all a big illusion inside of an illusion... The way she had been trained to approach Genjutsu always made a fight with it such a pain.
This pain wasn't real. Take it and endure it...
Though, uh... not being able to breathe was slowly becoming a problem for Kagerou... The more time she spent unused, the greater her disadvantage became. Even then, Kagerou let Honey talk her heart out. Only part of the reason was so that Kagerou could buy time to finish her diagnosis.
Kagerou's eyes locked with Honey's. There were a lot of expressions she could have pulled. Deadly serious calm. Unsettling smile. Convincing fear. What Kagerou did instead of anything that would give her an edge, however, was to force a smile. "A good pun," she'd comment. She couldn't comfortably get out any words in her current state, but she did so anyways, "So you do use bees... Reminds me of a friend back in Kiri. Nozomi. She had honey colored eyes and liked sunflowers." Her words halted every now and then, Kagerou not having enough breath to carry through the sentence. To ease the pain in her chest, a hand moved up, wrist gracefully lifting, to hold at her chest and throat. However, despite the alarm bells going off in her brain, her body's natural reaction to the lack of oxygen, she was sure she could continue functioning appropriately with this level of light-headedness.
She didn't even need to consider if she wanted to tell Honey that her genjutsu had been seen through. Kagerou didn't have the breath to spare to do so. While gasping, she clasped her hands together in the obvious signal for "Kai," to release the Asphyxiation technique. While she could use another technique, she chose to just continue the conversation. With hands clasped in front of her in a ready position, she spoke in the same tone of voice she would use if she was, say, at a picnic (and having some insane period cramps at the same time), "This is a bit of a long shot, but hey, Honey, ever thought about returning to neurology? No, not at Arashi... I've just also been thinking that the number of skilled medical professionals outside of the villages is really lacking."

Kinobori no Waza [ Act of Tree Climbing ] Rank: X (Learned as D-ranked) Official Description: Kinobori no Waza, the art of tree climbing serves a dual purpose. Taking part in Kinobori Shugyou [ Tree Climbing Training ] helps a Shinobi learn how to focus their Chakra. It also teaches the Shinobi how to run up trees and walk on vertical walls. The training helps the Shinobi learn how to focus just the right amount of Chakra to a particular part of their body. The amount needed to climb is small but it must be precise. The feet are regarded as the hardest location to master Chakra focusing. So by gaining the art of this skill, the Shinobi will have any Jutsu available (theoretically) because they will be able to focus their Chakra as needed. Guild Description: See official description. Does not take up space on the profile, but must have listed. Requires an E-rank upkeep cost per post of use. From there, the user can utilize the technique to effectively anchor themselves to a surface to prevent losing footing and falling, for an amount of chakra equivalent to the technique they are anchoring themselves from.
Kiyomaru [ Cleanse ] Rank: E Official Description: It is not always possible for a medical nin to practice basic hand washing and other procedures. This technique has the effect of instantly removing bacteria, dirt, blood, and other contaminants from the user’s hands, lower arms, and face. It also insures that any breath that comes from the user’s body will be free of any bacteria or infectious disease. This technique can also be used to clean the wounds of others in order to prevent infection from bacteria. In the event that the medical nin is using this technique to prevent infection of an injury that has been inflicted upon them, it is used in the same manner as if the shinobi were using it on somebody else. Guild Description: See the official description. Holding one's hands out, simply concentrating on removing the foreign substances activates the jutsu.
Shindan [ Diagnosis ] Rank: E Official Description: The first step in treatment is understanding the problem. With this skill a shinobi uses their hands to carefully probe a patient for problems. This technique is preformed by kneeling over a patient and slowly running both hands over their body, looking for signs of injury that may not be visible to the naked eye. It can detect things such as internal injury, improper heart rate, non-apparent bone fractures, poisoning, and disease. A ninja of higher body rank has learned to use this technique to perform a rudimentary examination of a body to determine cause and time of death. A D - rank (Genin) using this skill takes several minutes of work to determine the nature of a problem, a C - ranked (Chuunin) takes less than a minute and a B - ranked (Jounin) requires only a few seconds. Guild Description: See the official description.

Honey stopped and listened for a moment...then when Kagerou finished her head cocked to the side. Without warning almost instantaneously her spear was thrown at Kagerou. 'At Kagerou' was a bit of a stretch because based on its trajectory it embedded itself near her. The earthen wall she was using the climbing technique on starting to crumble from the explosive force of which the spear was thrown. The honeypot ants taking residence inside falling into the waters in crashes. With her hand out, the embedded spear, as if magnetically, pulled itself out and returned to her. Then what sounded like a mild irritation was expressed in a dainty like tone as she cocked her head to the opposite side. "Oh...you said NOZOMI. I thought you said NOEMI. Thank goodness we cleared that up. I get enough comparisons to whoever that b***h is from Oka-san and I'd hate to start hearing it from someone else." What Honey had thought Kagerou had said struck a nerve it seemed.
Her head leveled itself. "That sounds like a pretty interesting offer I might've considered buuuuuuuuuuuuuut, Kiri huh, so that's where you're from, that's also where Oka-san is from or rather WAS. HE ALSO HATES IT." behind the metallic mask her eyes seemed to grow fiercer. Her pitch seemed to also grow higher."Aaaand, Anything that Oka-san hates, I hate. So if you're from a village that he hates, then I guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuess that means. I HATE you." with her free hand Honey would press something on her palm discreetly. This was how the UHV molded chakra, through their armors and devices, without them they'd typically have a significant inefficiency when it came to reproducing jutsu as many members of the UHV were poor at molding chakra less they were former ninja that defected. Likely the lack of handsigns would have come to a surprise as Honey appeared next to Kagerou wherever she ended up after her footing was destroyed. In that moment several thin cuts would appear on her clothing and some on her skin adding to the already irritating pain if only distracting stings. This would strike familiar. Dark Eiseijutsu.
Without so much as a moment's hesitation, another press and Honey would attempt to drive her flat palmed strike into Kagerou's spine upward. This was not to inflict damage outright. No. This was to intensify all the more the pain Kagerou was enduring. Being a neurologist Honey knew, the spine was one of the densest collection of nerve clusters and dendrites, the focal point of the nervous system. That made the technique she had aptly intended to embed into Kagerou all the more effective should it land. Shinkeitsuu [ Neuralgia ]. The spine would serve as the conduit, where the technique would otherwise only affect one particular area. This would ensure the insurmountable pain would echo throughout Kagerou unbearably to the point where it would take mountains of fortitude to remain conscious. It was always assumed Honey was a medic and now she was using those skills to make Kagerou's life hell. But...it begged the question. Why wouldn't/didn't she just kill her then when it seemed she had an advantage? It was almost as if these villains they were tasked to assassinate were well...human and not just meat fodder for some metaphysical record of determining ones strength as a shinobi.
If somehow Kagerou endured or even if she fell unconscious from pain. Honey would simply stare at her downed body and wait until she regained consciousness. Of course, if that would take FAR too long she'd feed her to the ants after draining her domain of water.

Techniques Used: • Longinus {Intentionally misses but destroying Kagerou's footing} Rank: S :: Complex Description: The user sharpens the blade with Chakra, increasing its piercing power tenfold. Armor is practically useless against the blade after it has been sharpened this way. Also called the “Raised Stake” because someone used the technique to skewer several people and pin them to a tree. Strikes ignore non-custom armor that hasn't been reinforced with a technique, and are treated as spiritual against armor techniques. Lasts for three posts. • Eiseijutsu: Kuro Shunshin no Jutsu [ Medical Release: Dark Instant Movement Technique ] Rank: D Official Description: Nearly exactly like the Maruton version of Shunshin, this one causes small cuts/abrasions/tears/etc, E - rank in damage to those within arms reach when either vanishing from nearby, or when appearing nearby. Guild Description: See official description. Usable thrice per battle, including the other versions of Shunshin. • Shinkeitsuu [ Neuralgia ] Rank: S Official Description: This technique creates unbearable pain. In order to use this technique a medical nin first gathers chakra in their hand and then touch any point on the victims body, the nerves in the immediate area will be assaulted with a pain so severe that it’s debilitating. It is not possible to withstand this pain and targets of this technique will often desperately clutch at the inflicted area while screaming. The pain inflicted by this technique fades but the area affected remains extremely sore for at least a day. Guild Description: See official description.

"Ahaha..." Kagerou silently made a note to not talk about Noemi for the time being as she laughed while Honey spoke. She had been simple, and simply dodged quite a ways to the side. It wasn't like her guard had been down, and she recognized that, despite Honey's dainty appearance, that spear had some fierce force behind it. Of course, she had underestimated the sheer power behind the spear, and it broke off more of the ceiling than Kagerou had expected.
Waaaay down she went until she landed on the water herself, executing a graceful flip and twist midair to land on her feet.
She was becoming accustomed to the pain. However, it hadn't cleared enough yet for her to make the connection that someone who knew Noemi meant that they had met her. Only when Honey mentioned outright that her boss was from Kiri, did Kagerou's eyes go wide. While Honey's resolve set itself, Kagerou's mind suddenly had to deal with several more possibilities. Perhaps in her usual condition, she could come to a conclusion within the time it took her to blink. However, in her current pain, she had yet to skip across trying to figure out who Oka-san could be.
That didn't mean Kagerou wasn't watching. She was watching, but she was watching for telltale signs instead of her usual keen observation. Honey made no hand signs, something that Kagerou wouldn't be caught off-guard of because, and Kagerou failed to prepare herself for the sudden shunshin that followed because of it.
Tears and cuts. Minor damage. Kagerou's eyes squinted. With no time to prepare, her body moved on its own. When the enemy strikes, create distance. Kagerou didn't have time to do that, not when her body felt like it did right now. Then, minimize damage. A medic could kill someone with a touch. Kagerou twisted her body, so that whatever flesh rotting or heartbeat stopping technique was being used would hit her shoulder instead.
"KGH-AHHH!" a scream of pain. Even she had her limits to how long she could stay silent, and while it wasn't her gut that was exploding with even further pain, her shoulder was still feeling like it was being stabbed a million times over.
An ant appeared out of nowhere (from her chakra space) between Kagerou and Honey. A very familiar ant. Big, green. Yeah, it was meant to take the hit, but too late. Now, it just gave Kagerou cover to jump backwards and get the distance she wanted. A normal person would be cursing, or even if they weren't angry, at least retaliating with an attack since the fight had so clearly began anew. However, Kagerou was too cautious to just jump right in, even if she wasn't such a bleeding heart.
There was no damage done to her body. At least, none that she could feel, and a strike like that should have done some significant damage even if she had evaded the worst. Her shoulder wasn't decayed. Even if it was painful to touch, which she did to make sure her flesh and bones were okay, nothing was broken, nor did it move improperly. She could definitely still feel her shoulder and her tenketsu hadn't been shut off, if the lack of any abnormalities when she summoned the ant was anything to go by. In fact, while her shoulder hurt like hell incarnate, the rest of her body save her gut felt a lot better. There was no more stinging. Although, this last part, Kagerou considered the chance that it was just because the genjutsu had worn down.
The validity of these observations was left up in the air. These were all details Kagerou noticed as she dashed away, not some in detail diagnosis she had come up in a comfy office.
Even though she couldn't smile, Kagerou remained positive about the situation. With one eye squinted in pain and even a bit of spittle hanging from her lip from when she screamed earlier, she looked like she had been very much in pain. Her shoulder still felt sore even now. "Symptoms of the Neuralgia technique," she observed, "Ah, sorry about the ant. I tossed it out in a panic. Is it... uh... okay? Anyways, your mission is to kill killers. You have far more lethal tools than this," the way she spoke was a little more long-winded than she intended, but she needed the extra words to focus her train of thought until she reached the point, "Why do you want to keep me alive?".
"Oh and," before another pain-murder attempt was aimed at her, Kagerou wanted to know something, "Your... mother? Okaa-san? No, you said 'he,' so it's a name... So Mr. Oka, why does he hate Kiri? Why did he leave? Who was he?".

Class Disciplines ____Support Specialist → The user is capable of conferring a moderate stat boost to any ally that they desire. This stat boost can be what ever the medic wishes, however it can only go on one ally for as long as the medic wishes. Additionally to this, the medic is able to use healing eseijutsu on an ally from a distance as opposed to having to touch them. The range for this is fifty [50] feet. ____Inscriptions of Power → Through tireless study and practice ninja of this discipline have learned to create fuuinjutsu that is stronger than those of their peers. Gaining the property of overwhelming all fuunjutsu will defeat techniques of the same rank unless they also overwhelm same rank, in which case they will cancel out. Universal Attributes
• Kiritani Heritage - The Kiritani, the maternal side of Kagerou's family, have a long tradition of serving Kirigakure from the shadows and high standards to match. Being able to cast techniques without hand signs is what they consider the bare minimum, and they expect no less from Kagerou despite her Uchiha surname. Kagerou can replace hand signs/seals with equivalent gestures and motion from the wrists or fingers of one hand. • Hippocratic Oath - Whatever it takes from her, Kagerou is determined to save every life she can, more so than taking any. When a healing eiseijutsu is used, a single healing or situational eiseijutsu of lower rank can be supplemented onto it for no extra cost in chakra or activation. This includes augment techniques. • Nightmare Veteran - There's really no place like home. Even genjutsu struggles to match hellish nightmare created from the mind of an exhausted Jack, and this experience, along with several others, has left the already naturally calm Kagerou even better suited to remain composed in the face of any pressure. She is adept at seeing through genjutsu, and even when she can't (or if the horror turns out to not be genjutsu at all), she's still incredibly difficult to ruffle to the point that once Kagerou recognizes the genjutsu, it loses much of its potency. A recognized genjutsu of lower rank than Kagerou cannot inflict real injuries on Kagerou, and while her physical body within the genjutsu is still affected as normal--being pushed, pulled, bound, or what have you--emotional and other strictly mental sensations have no hold on her. • Inkapocalypse - You thought this was a pun on Inka, but it was me! Dio! Bad jokes aside, the PA really isn't about Inka. Dissatisfied by her cluelessness during the Sero pod event, Kagerou spent days researching sealing, and through sheer repetition, it's become easier for her to use seals. She can write seals up to her body rank on the fly, using even her own chakra manifestation if necessary. Writing a seal takes up the same activation as using it, and in the case when her chakra manifestation is used to form a seal, her chakra becomes visible to the naked eye and she can only extend her manifestation as far as 1m away from her body. For the purposes of this PA, Fuuinjutsu includes the Kuchiyose techniques. When a chakra manifestation seal absorbs something, said something is considered to be stored within her chakra manifestation until it is later released with the appropriate technique. • Blood Moon - In the light of the blood moon, Kagerou maintained her calm and spread it to others. Since then, such a practice has imprinted itself into her eiseijutsu. Targets of Kagerou's eiseijutsu can korabo their kai with the eiseijutsu technique, increasing the strength of their kai by one rank. As per korabo rules, the eiseijutsu technique and kai must be the same base rank.
Medical Job Attributes
• Iryo-nin I - Kagerou can retrain [Medical] jutsu into those with a [MEDIC] tag on the end of them. [MEDIC] jutsu exhibit healing properties equal to their rank and are considered to be [Medical] and eiseijutsu. • A Sound Mind I - Due to her training in the psychiatry medical field, Kagerou knows when someone is deceiving her. Note that this does not mean she knows the details of the deception, such as how she is being deceived, what she is being deceived on, to what extent the deception goes, etc. This PA can be countered by either an opposing PA and a higher rank in the psychiatry medical field or by a technique above or at Kagerou's body rank that can obscure truth and lies. • A Sound Mind II - Due to her training in the psychiatry medical field, Kagerou is adept at deceiving others. She doesn't give those telltale signs, down to even the smallest detail, that others use as indicators of truth and lie. This PA can be countered by either an opposing PA and equal ranks in the psychiatry medical field or by a technique above or at Kagerou's body rank that can discern truth from lies.
Without hesitation as Kagerou asked if the green ant was okay the sound of spraying fluids and pierced chitin would signify it was most certainly not as behind its corpse which soon sunk beneath the water was honey whose spear tip was drenched in the former giant insect's blood. Her voice sounded really cold and indifferent compared to the bratty and aloof nature it gave off earlier. "You talk a lot. Perhaps if you'd gone down I'd be more inclined to chat. But right now your still a threat and so long as you remain a threat, a threat to me, a threat to Oka-san's ideals, and a threat to his mission I don't plan on answering any of your questions."
The pain in Kagerou's stomach would begin to alleviate soon. Seeing as Kagerou did not go down as Honey had initially planned it simply meant that now she verily made aware that any more of her Genjutsu could likely be cleverly deduced. She had also been given enough time to process what had occurred earlier. She herself was genjutsu'd and it all started with that rock. This paved the way into the reasoning that Kagerou was a Genjutsu user or at least had some semblance of how to use it. After bringing up her knowledge of the technique she had just used it also heavily leaned into reasoning that Kagerou was more than a psychiatric professional career wise but also a medical-nin. "And now I realize just how much of a threat you are and I won't be played so easily."
Opening the palm of her free hand upon another instance of 'hand sign' a wave of 'her' chakra flooded forwards towards Kagerou. Itami Gekka [ Pain Intensification ]. This was the fallback if Neuralgia had missed the spine to amplify the pain of which Kagerou would be subjected to. Should that moment of intensified agony occur in that moment Honey would vault herself towards Kagerou to capitalize on that opening and with the same free hand to drive home an additional driving palm strike to the girl's stomach of a technique all too familiar used against those who were behaving erratically in a hospital bed. Had this landed, Kagerou's muscles would stiffen and cramp, said cramps only made all the worse with Itami Gekka. Very likely inducing an unconscious state through unbearable agony. This appeared to be Honey's modus operandi. If the hit connected Kagerou would hear, "Maybe if you can come to fast enough I'll share a bedtime story with you." clearly Kagerou would begin to sink into the muddled mixture of water and honey. One of those scenes played in anime openings where the protagonist sinks into the water where the water is a metaphor for the characters life struggles only later to be pulled out by a busty harem. If Kagerou lost consciousness here she could very well consider, that she'd lost, and that she was good as dead,that she failed, stiff and unable to move in unbridled agony if clinging to consciousness, thoughts racing in regards to the afterlife if not how much of a disappointment in a fight she actually was.
-Branching Path- Read ONLY if you accept Kagerou took the hits and doesn't continue resisting.
When/if Kagerou regained consciousness she'd be incredibly sticky. The effects of the muscle shock having lessened but still lingering. He could move her neck but that was roughly all she'd be able to move. She'd able to blink twice to regain her bearings to realize she was still most definitely alive and she was also judging by the designs on the floor still in Honey's domain. Kagerou would have been stripped of anything and everything aside the necessities of her most basic clothing to where it would be enough to keep her looking decent and evade lewdness ((ahem of course if you prefer you could go that path but I'm saying it currently does not have to be.)) All these confiscated items would then be taken notice to on a nearby vanity folded nicely in regards to excessive clothing and angled nicely if on display.
Further inspection of the area would reveal this wasn't the 'cave' this was, in fact, a 'room' a rather large room but the fact there was a bed and vanity made it a 'room'. There was not much else aside from these two things. At least not visible at an angle in which Kagerou could move her head. Naturally, if Kagerou was inclined to move and retrieve her items she'd come to the realization she'd essentially been 'welded' to the wall with this sticky substance on top of her sore cramp like muscles. Then eventually in the corner of the room a door and as if having just walked in was honey. "Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there." - Her voice having defaulted back to the chipper almost bratty gal tone once more. "Since you're from Kiri. I think Oka-san will find it amusing to kill you himself and give me some major brownie points. Till then I guess I can answer any of those annoying questions you had earlier to entertain me until then." Maybe Kagerou would additionally notice. The small abrasions she had received from Honey's earlier Dark Shunsin were gone, as if they were healed.
Combat Data:
Combat Medic: Combat Medic: Shinobi of this discipline gain the ability to pay for their simple taijutsu using chakra. This does not alter its strength in collisions in any way from a standard simple technique. Furthermore medical learning reductions gained from this class, also count towards taijutsu learning reductions and the shinobi gains two tai slots, one at D rank and the other at C rank. The user also gains access to this technique:
Technique Name: Strength of a Hundred Rank: S Type: Fuuinjutsu Description: This Technique is the absolute pinnacle for a medical nin. With almost perfect chakra control, the shinobi is able to begin storing chakra in the center of their forehead and seal it there. This takes shape in the form of a pink diamond. The shinobi is able to seal away 250 chakra for later use. When used it battle, it causes black bands to wrap around the user and release the chakra back to the user. At the same time the user gains super regenerative powers, capable of surviving almost any attack, though you cannot regenerate from your head being removed, or your body being entirely destroyed from the shoulders down. Other methods of lethal injury that may not involve direct physical damage, such as having your soul sealed into a Shiki Fujin, also cannot be healed through. This lasts for 4 posts and can only be used once per battle.
Inception: With Genjutsu, realism and the sensory ability of the target factor heavily into the ability of the victim to realize they are in a genjutsu. With practice and discipline, the shinobi may select one [1] genjutsu Sense that may be added as a Secondary sense to any technique, as well as choose one Sense of Choice that will forever cost one [1] rank less in cost as long as the casted genjutsu's primary sense is the chosen sense. Once these two [2] choices are made, they cannot be switched, so choose wisely.
Techniques Used: • Soft Formless Physical: A - {Closes The Distance} • Itami Gekka [ Pain Intensification ] Rank: X - {S} Official Description: Pain, the body's way of signaling danger, affects the mind in more ways than one. Intensifying it within an opponent will detract from their ability to deal with situations, leaving you with more opportunities~ Guild Description: At B-rank, all forms of pain become crippling. Lasts for several posts, the effects lessening as time goes on. At S+rank, no amount of non-chakra medication will detract from the effect. • Suji dageki [ Muscle Shock ] Rank: X - {S} Official Description: An ability designed by medical ninja to perform attacks at a lower level so they would be able to defend themselves slightly. This attack simply provides a tazer like shock to an opponent that causes their muscles to tense all at once. This immobilizes them long enough for the medical nin to retreat or launch an attack of their own. Note that the medical shinobi must be touching their target for this to take effect. Guild Description: See official description. The shock lasts for one post, & increases for each rank above E (max +6)

[For the record: 1.5 antnadoes, 7.5k normal green ants total, sealed in a scroll. 63 green giant ants sealed in Kagerou's chakra.]
Everything from what Honey said to how she said it and the look she gave screamed, FIGHT. How could Kagerou not tell? Consequently, how could Kagerou not ready herself, at least at the most basic level of getting rid of the pain so she was in fighting condition? Her fingers curled, and a technique to suppress the pain spread through her body.
Hearing Honey call her a threat, including the realization that Kagerou thought she had delivered on a silver platter way earlier, Kagerou was already considering her counterattack because she was like Honey. She wanted to talk, but she couldn't afford to be the one to drop.
Right now, she was at a huge disadvantage. This arena, while she had created it, was far more in Honey's favor than hers. The honey had mixed with the water, and she was almost sure that Honey could trigger genjutsu off of touch with honey. Even standing on it with her shoes keeping the water off of her feet, Kagerou wasn't so certain if that was enough to stop the trigger. Right now, she didn't think she was in an illusion, but that was probably just to lull her into a false sense of security. One moment of inattention, and she'd be lost and lose.
Time was also against her. Her bearing didn't show it, neither did her mental state, but Kagerou could feel that she only got a few rounds of fighting in top condition left within her. Meanwhile, she couldn't be sure about Honey. Like her, Honey showed no signs of slowing down. Not to mention,... uh... Kagerou didn't know just what those UHV suits did. Did they maybe also store chakra? That would be bad if they did.
Despite all of that, however, Kagerou didn't want to make the first strike. It seemed, maybe it was just a hopeful thought of hers, but it really seemed like she was slowly getting to Honey. She didn't want to seem like a bad person, so staying on the defensive offensive it was.
The problem with a counterattack, though, was that it required leaving oneself to being reactive. Honey spread the palm out at Kagerou, and Kagerou was simply left wondering what she was going to do? A high-pitched sound tech? Was she about to be blasted with wind? A genjut- AGH PAIN AGAIN. That thing could be ranged? Kagerou learned something new today!
Honey had overestimated the attack, however, or rather, underestimated Kagerou. The pain intensified, but Kagerou had suppressed that pain, and as such, it didn't create the opening to close in that she had hoped for, and if it hadn't become clear enough already, then Honey wasn't the only one able to cast techniques with, at least seemingly, no somatic signs.
With Honey fast approaching her, Kagerou moved with the same speed, kiting her fellow medic. "I don't think you really understand." The other hand reached into her projectile pouch and pulled out a flute, that she wasted no time in bringing up to her lips. "We don't have the time for me to fall unconscious and wake up again." She wasn't aiming for some sort of 1 centimeter, cool to look at dodge. She wanted to get as far away as possible. "You're underestimating the people I came with, especially the one with brown hair."
Her fingers moved across the body of the flute as Kagerou proceeded to play a melody upon it. A tune drifted across to Honey, and if she heard it, she'd find that her knee was suddenly refusing to move like it should. More specifically, a muscle somewhere between her thighs and ankles. Kagerou was skilled and she was practiced at using song techniques, but even she didn't have pinpoint precision at this distance while moving around. This technique modification, while it appeared to affect those who heard it, really only set the origin point of the technique at some point within the range of the sound that accompanied the modification. In short, it was still something that needed to be aimed, and consequently could be dodged, like the original technique.
Through the throbbing but overall bearable pain in her shoulder, Kagerou kept her cool and calculated. What could be going on in the other tunnels? She had tried to give a warning, but could it already be too late? "Just listen to me, please," at least she won't be berated for not trying, "You're going to regret wasting the time to knock me out. I'm already starting to get tired. Do you really think I can do anything if you and your boss work together?".

Kinniku Saichousei [ Muscle Realignment ] Rank: B Official Description: Muscles, core to all movement and control in the body, can be repaired or sent to disarray with great ease. A leg treated with this technique can either restore the ability to walk, or completely obliterate its ability to do so. As the area of effect is small, touching is almost considered vital. Guild Description: Affects muscles within one hand's grasp. At S-rank, the volume of effect increases to two.

It seemed the woman before her was avidly avoiding her advances. Something she found most irritating. Honey had expected she'd counter pain intensification with pain suppression. There was no over or under when it came to estimates. Just expectations. When referred to not having enough time for something honey would raise the question only after realizing her legs would not move defiantly. Seeing as she could not move she'd seem to converse albeit with a fierce tone of irritation. "Now why would you s..." Suddenly the entire area quaked. Bits of earth fall from the ceiling from the sheer forces of impact below. Kagerou may not have realized it but 'too late' had already come and gone in this instance.
A loud aggravating BEEEEEEEEEEP would be coming from Honey's wrist. When she pushed it a small holographic 'screen' appeared with a vague shadow looming inside. Like if she had an earpiece she would nod before the 'transmission' ended. Then her spear end was shoved into the ground. It appeared as though she was disarming herself. She spoke again but rather than angry it was a tone of tiredness. Tiredness akin to a 'I knew this would happen' type aura. She focused on the device on her wrist. The color of her belt returning. "We have no more regrets left." she continued fiddling with the device on her wrist as if looking for something. Essentially it seemed honey had deemed Kagerou 'pointless' with whatever came up.
"When Oka-san found all of us. He made it very much apparent, the old lives we once lived filled with our regrets could be thrown away and we could all start over again." The familiar sound of bees started buzzing while tame it filled the room as Honey looked up. What would start to weave around Kagerou was Magen. The Genjutsu many used for creating deceptive scenery. Although it would be used for a different purpose here.
The scenes like that of a slideshow would play out in their surroundings as Honey spoke. "We were all intent on ending it until Oka-san saved us from ourselves." The reason honey was looking up was because the scenery of a cliff and a weeping blonde haired honey-eyed girl was at the edge of the precarious cliffside. Rightly bout to fall a shadow blur placed its hand on her shoulder. She'd then look back at Kagerou, "Some of us were shamed with what we've done or cursed at what we could not do." The scenery changed once more by the side of a river. A man with a bandaged arm, knelt by the waterside, he held a broken sword cradled in his hands covered in blood, his hands quivering, behind him a man dressed in royal attire with the other half of the blade in his chest and several dead guardsmen. Eye wide the blade was washed in the river and the art of what Kagerou would likely know as Seppeku from books was about to be committed by a man that looked immersed in grief holding the blade up to his side ready to slit his cut. Before again the same ethereal shadow placed a hand on his shoulder.
"But all of us were broken in some way." Another man with emerald eyes and red hair held two girls and boy tightly in his arms beneath the non-existent roof of a destroyed house, as the scene of a violent burning of the surrounding house and homes was occurring from what appeared to be barbaric brigands. Suffering a club to the head he'd fall on his side his emerald eyes staring directly at the barbarian that attacked him unable to move. Watching wide-eyed as these children were taken from him. The boy pushed up against the wall and beheaded and the two girls being hauled away by another with screaming expressions. There was no sound but one could read the lips screaming 'DADDY!'
The faint image of the shadow again appearing offering food and drink to the man barely alive from malnutrition and dehydration as once the scene had changed to one where there was naught but corpses and ashes remaining the man having not the will to even so much as move would have very well starved and dehydrated to death. "We live only because of Oka-san. We owe everything to Oka-san. Our lives are hardly enough to repay him for what he's done for us." Honey paused, the buzzing ceased, the scenery ended. She turned around. Somewhere along the line she had either healed her legs or regained the ability to move. When was unknown. "You are nothing when compared to Oka-san...and right now he needs me. Do yourself and your 'friends' a favor and just leave." She'd pick up her spear again. Across the Honey water, she'd walk until suddenly she was gone. Implying somewhere along the line she had replaced her real self with an illusory copy. Then like a HUGE Toilet. The honey water was beginning to spiral in the center of the room. The room was being drained.

With practice and discipline, the shinobi may select one [1] genjutsu Sense that may be added as a Secondary sense to any technique, as well as choose one Sense of Choice that will forever cost one [1] rank less in cost as long as the casted genjutsu's primary sense is the chosen sense. Once these two [2] choices are made, they cannot be switched, so choose wisely.
[For the record: 1.5 antnadoes, 7.5k normal green ants total, sealed in a scroll. 63 green giant ants sealed in Kagerou's chakra.]
Kagerou was left confused and curious. She had, as ever, a complicated reaction to everything that happened, but ultimately, none of it matter. As she stood here, Honey had vanished and the room had eventually drained itself. If the purpose of creating a show was to distract Kagerou, it had worked fantastically. Kagerou was very thoroughly distracted by the story that played in front of her eyes. Forget attempting to end the illusion, she was wholly focused on prying out what lay beneath the surface of the images. Call it intuition, call it a fool's risk, but she didn't think Honey was getting ready to hurt her. She could feel it in her voice.
She hadn't known at first, but by now, she'd inferred that... the first fight had finished, and not in a way that was favorable to Honey. Kagerou closed her eyes in thought. Even the sight of the unmoving ground was proving too distracting for her right now.
She took a deep breath in.
Then a breath out.
"Mom and her entire family are going to kill me..." Kagerou hurriedly walked about, looking for some sort of exit, but not an exit out... Well, to be fair, she wouldn't know which way any of the exits led, actually... "Ignoring orders. Directly acting against orders. Sympathizing with the targets. Assisting the enemy," her mumbling and muttering continued as she listed out, in casual terminology, the various codes she was about to break, "Jeopardizing the mission. Jeopardizing teammates. Though, I'll make sure they're all right." She just kept going down the list, until eventually it ended with, "Possible accessory to terrorism even though I didn't blow anything up myself Ugh. Yeah, at this rate, I can't blame the village for giving me a death penalty." If this had been Kirigakure, at the very least, Kagerou would have regrouped with her team first before bringing up what she wanted to. Unfortunately, this was only Arashigakure, so she forged forwards by herself.

Class Disciplines ____Support Specialist → The user is capable of conferring a moderate stat boost to any ally that they desire. This stat boost can be what ever the medic wishes, however it can only go on one ally for as long as the medic wishes. Additionally to this, the medic is able to use healing eseijutsu on an ally from a distance as opposed to having to touch them. The range for this is fifty [50] feet. ____Inscriptions of Power → Through tireless study and practice ninja of this discipline have learned to create fuuinjutsu that is stronger than those of their peers. Gaining the property of overwhelming all fuunjutsu will defeat techniques of the same rank unless they also overwhelm same rank, in which case they will cancel out. Universal Attributes
• Kiritani Heritage - The Kiritani, the maternal side of Kagerou's family, have a long tradition of serving Kirigakure from the shadows and high standards to match. Being able to cast techniques without hand signs is what they consider the bare minimum, and they expect no less from Kagerou despite her Uchiha surname. Kagerou can replace hand signs/seals with equivalent gestures and motion from the wrists or fingers of one hand. • Hippocratic Oath - Whatever it takes from her, Kagerou is determined to save every life she can, more so than taking any. When a healing eiseijutsu is used, a single healing or situational eiseijutsu of lower rank can be supplemented onto it for no extra cost in chakra or activation. This includes augment techniques. • Nightmare Veteran - There's really no place like home. Even genjutsu struggles to match hellish nightmare created from the mind of an exhausted Jack, and this experience, along with several others, has left the already naturally calm Kagerou even better suited to remain composed in the face of any pressure. She is adept at seeing through genjutsu, and even when she can't (or if the horror turns out to not be genjutsu at all), she's still incredibly difficult to ruffle to the point that once Kagerou recognizes the genjutsu, it loses much of its potency. A recognized genjutsu of lower rank than Kagerou cannot inflict real injuries on Kagerou, and while her physical body within the genjutsu is still affected as normal--being pushed, pulled, bound, or what have you--emotional and other strictly mental sensations have no hold on her. • Inkapocalypse - You thought this was a pun on Inka, but it was me! Dio! Bad jokes aside, the PA really isn't about Inka. Dissatisfied by her cluelessness during the Sero pod event, Kagerou spent days researching sealing, and through sheer repetition, it's become easier for her to use seals. She can write seals up to her body rank on the fly, using even her own chakra manifestation if necessary. Writing a seal takes up the same activation as using it, and in the case when her chakra manifestation is used to form a seal, her chakra becomes visible to the naked eye and she can only extend her manifestation as far as 1m away from her body. For the purposes of this PA, Fuuinjutsu includes the Kuchiyose techniques. When a chakra manifestation seal absorbs something, said something is considered to be stored within her chakra manifestation until it is later released with the appropriate technique. • Blood Moon - In the light of the blood moon, Kagerou maintained her calm and spread it to others. Since then, such a practice has imprinted itself into her eiseijutsu. Targets of Kagerou's eiseijutsu can korabo their kai with the eiseijutsu technique, increasing the strength of their kai by one rank. As per korabo rules, the eiseijutsu technique and kai must be the same base rank.
Medical Job Attributes
• Iryo-nin I - Kagerou can retrain [Medical] jutsu into those with a [MEDIC] tag on the end of them. [MEDIC] jutsu exhibit healing properties equal to their rank and are considered to be [Medical] and eiseijutsu. • A Sound Mind I - Due to her training in the psychiatry medical field, Kagerou knows when someone is deceiving her. Note that this does not mean she knows the details of the deception, such as how she is being deceived, what she is being deceived on, to what extent the deception goes, etc. This PA can be countered by either an opposing PA and a higher rank in the psychiatry medical field or by a technique above or at Kagerou's body rank that can obscure truth and lies. • A Sound Mind II - Due to her training in the psychiatry medical field, Kagerou is adept at deceiving others. She doesn't give those telltale signs, down to even the smallest detail, that others use as indicators of truth and lie. This PA can be countered by either an opposing PA and equal ranks in the psychiatry medical field or by a technique above or at Kagerou's body rank that can discern truth from lies.
There it was. That word again. Kagerou could only give an inwards sigh. The only sign of such being a prolonged blink. There it was, that word again. It was... how many people already? Well, she had come to terms with it back when it was used to describe her the first time. Logically, at least. Emotionally, it still pricked her at times, the past haunting her with whispers. However, that was emotionally. She could only allow emotions to control her so much on a subjugation mission.
