Stone District

[Okami Kitsune]

Out of all the participants, it would be Okami Kitsune who awoke first the moment the simulation ended. Opening his eyes, he would look around and allow his mind to quickly discern the truth of his and his fellow Genin's situation even as he climbed out of the tub his body had been placed in, removing the cords from his body none-too-gently. Their bodies had been stripped down to all but their undergarments in order for the cords to be placed on them, and as such the first thing he did was locate his own clothes and dress himself. The next thing he did was allow himself to properly regain his bearings, locating the large scroll on the wall that clearly listed the names of each Genin who had failed to advance - whether it was from complete lack of coordination or simply not being given the chance to give the higher-up's a proper showing of their abilities, it mattered little to him. The exams were hardly the only method of gaining a promotion, after all. Unsurprisingly, the entirety of the team he and his own team had just finished facing off against were among the names listed, though he was curious as to why they were listed all the way at the top... Considering this scroll listed the names of those who failed to be deemed worthy of Chuunin rank for the time being, that didn't necessarily mean anything good.

Ultimately Okami decided that it wasn't any of his business regarding the finer details of why those people didn't pass, and would therefore settle for being thankful that his own showing had proven sufficient - as was that of his own team. Off to the side of the room, he noticed the various scrolls resembling doormats with the insignias of each Genin's respective village and/or district. The Fuinjutsu practitioner in him demanded that he use his keen eyes to commit every last bit of the seal leading back to his own homeland to his memory to the point he couldn't forget about it even if he wanted to (which he didn't) - which was an instinct he naturally obeyed, internally swearing to reverse-engineer the seal for his own purposes at a later date on his own time. With that done, he would step onto the seal that would take him back home to Ouza Island - to Yokugakure.

Shinomori
The Necromancer

A cloud of smoke appeared, obscuring the figure of Shinomori as he hid himself in a hooded cloak, confined to the shadows. He traveled aimlessly with one singular goal - to find the jinchuriki host of the Four-Tailed beast. The identity of the host was no secret, having been showcased globally in the Chunin Exams.

Using chakra suppression techniques, Shinomori masked his presence, avoiding detection. But even if he was somehow sensed, the Stone District kept their gates open widely, a critical mistake they would soon come to regret.

"Hanako, use your Byakugan to locate the Four-Tails host," Shinomori commanded the controlled Hyuga sternly, expecting him to find the jinchuriki in his homeland.

Shinomori waited patiently in the darkness. The chaos and destruction he hoped to unleash here was merely preparation for his true goal - to gain access to the tailed beast's power at any cost. He stroked the cursed seal on his arm unconsciously. Power was the only thing that mattered, no matter how many casualties lay in the wake of his ruthless quest.

With the reappearance of the esteemed Hyuga puppet alongside her allies, she first remained hidden within the confines of the shadows but remained at a higher position to bettwe survey the area as she traveled. Her own chakra signature was heavily supressed to avoid any detection from the forces of the stone district, though she did soon come to a stop once she received the order from Shinomori to search for the four tails host.

Hanako then rested against the warm bark of a tree, blending further into the darkness as she activated her Byakugan. The veins around her eyes bulged, turning a distinct shade of lavender as her vision pierced through obstacles, revealing the chakra networks of everything around her. The Byakugan granted her an extraordinary field of vision. With a sweep of her gaze, Hanako scanned the entire area, picking up on the smallest chakra signatures. The Stone Village unfolded before her eyes like a detailed map, every living being casting a unique chakra signature that she could decipher. Her attention focused on a particular cluster of chakra signatures emanating from the center of the village. Among them, she detected the distinct and erratic pattern of the four-tails Jinchuuriki. A predatory glint entered her eyes as she honed in on the target, a silent determination settling over her features.​

Yona's gaze dropped from Itami as she eyed the girl when she bowed, giggling as if she's known the sandy haired girl forever, she said politely, "What's with the formality? We're all friends here, whether old or new!" She turned to Itami again still feeling giggly, a slight laugh escaping her mouth as she began again, "I'd love to see the men and women in action, as for the Embassy, I hope you can spare someone to send a message to my assistant in the Moonlight District, I think I will make myself comfortable here for a while"

She sighed happily, daydreaming a little bit, she thought to herself: This is it. All though still alive, this is what her father wanted all along, and Yona's dream is to make her father proud. She knew deep in her heart, that she was making the correct decisions not only for herself, but her members of her district. She is excited to establish an embassy in the Stone District, with hopes of expanding to more Lands.​

Masaru's thoughts were consumed by a singular idea – the destruction of the former five great nations. As the Sato-Osa of the Waterfall District, he harbored a deep-seated resentment towards those nations that once stood ahead of his beloved land. His disdain for their past dominance fueled a burning desire to see them crumble. In pursuit of this ominous goal, Masaru found himself in the company of Hanako Hyuga and Shinomori, individuals whose motives aligned with his own. United by a shared vision of reshaping the geopolitical landscape.

Masaru, fueled by a relentless desire for destruction, saw no reason to hold back his chakra. His approach was direct and forceful, a stark contrast to his usually calculated and decisive demeanor. Shinomori, by Masaru's side, shared a similar inclination towards unrestrained power. With their combined strength, it was as if they wielded the might of a tailed beast, a force to be reckoned with in the pursuit of their destructive goals. The two formed a fearsome duo, each complementing the other's strengths and enhancing the overall potency of their alliance.

Adding to this formidable partnership was Hanako, whose adeptness and strength rounded out the trio. With her skills, she brought a level of finesse that balanced the brute force of Masaru and Shinomori, creating a synergy that made their alliance even more formidable.

As they moved forward on their path of chaos, Masaru's intentions were clear – to leave a trail of devastation in their wake. The prospect of bloodshed and inflicted damage excited him, and with the power at their disposal, the trio posed a significant threat to anyone who stood in their way. The unfolding saga promised a tale of power, conflict, and the consequences of seeking to reshape the world through force and destruction. Beside Shinomori, Masaru anticipated for the destruction to begin soon.​

Shinomori
The Necromancer​

Shinomori continued to roam stealthily throughout the Stone District, his face concealed by a black hooded cloak, his piercing eyes carefully studying those he passed. Simply observing the everyday citizens was proving fruitless - if Shinomori wanted to flush out his true prey, he would need to cause a significant disruption.

Stopping in an empty alleyway, Shinomori clenched his fist, his gloved thumb pressing sharply against the edge of his palm. He watched intently as a small trickle of crimson trailed down his arm - just enough blood to enact the summoning jutsu. Raising his hand toward the rocky ground, Shinomori swiftly traced a large, stylized Kanji symbol with the blood from his self-inflicted wound.

As he completed the character, pressing his palm firmly against the ebony stone, the Kanji began to pulse with mystical crimson light. The air around Shinomori grew heavy and charged as his chakra surged. This area of quiet stone streets was about to become a scene of chaos - the perfect bait for anyone in hiding to reveal themselves.

As Shinomori completed the summoning jutsu, a enormous plume of white smoke burst forth, momentarily obscuring the alleyway. As the smoke rapidly dispersed, an massive eel was revealed, towering stories above the surrounding buildings.

The giant summon began slithering through the streets, its thick, heavy body easily crushing shops and homes caught in its destructive path. Cries of panic and alarm erupted from the citizens as they fled from the devastating creature.

High atop the eel's head stood Shinomori, having effortlessly ascended the body of his summoned ally. Accompanying him were his followers, Hanako and Masaru. From the distant perspective of those on the ground, the three shinobi appeared miniscule and ant-like perched atop the serpentine beast rampaging through the stone streets.

Shinomori's cloak billowed in the wind generated by the eel's immense bulk sliding through the narrow district. His face was impassive as he surveyed the chaos unfolding below. The trap had been set - now he had only to await whatever prey emerged to challenge his wanton destruction. At his side, Hanako and Masaru tensed, ready to defend their master against all who opposed him on this day of reckoning.

Kaminari was attuned to the normal tremors that frequently shook the earth in the Stone District. But these intense vibrations felt anomalous, reverberating through the rocky terrain without warning. Glancing upward, Kaminari spotted a massive summoned creature resembling a colossal leech emerging above the skyline, dwarfing even the tallest mountains. Immediately her shinobi instincts kicked in. Forming quick hand seals, Kaminari employed the Elasticity Transference technique - harnessing her chakra to reshape the physical landscape. Solid stone and soil stretched and contorted into trampoline-like surfaces beneath her feet. Using these elastic gradients, Kaminari gracefully bounced her way up the altering terrain, ricocheting off boulders towards the location of the Tsuchikage Itami and the visiting Moon District Priestess Yona. Upon landing deftly beside them was Yudoku Kamizuru, the young head of the Kamizuru insect-user clan, also responding to the crisis.

"Lady Yudoku, are you unharmed?" Kaminari asked urgently. Receiving assurance, her focus shifted to the dignitary under her clan's sworn protection. "Priestess Yona, please stay close to me. We must get you to shelter immediately!"

Glancing upwards once more at the towering summoned beast, Kaminari felt destiny swirling around them amidst the chaos. Both her stone-shaping talents and the Kamizuru clan's revered insect techniques would be vital to handle this threat. The Stone District's safety depended on their quick action.

[YudokuKamizuru]

The sudden and continuous rumbling of the ground beneath her, caused Yudoku Kamizuru of the Wasp user clan, to spill the wasp toxin she had been cultivating all morning. "What the hell is going on?!" Akuto and Yokina, her wasp companions become tense and quiet, a very rare occurrence to happen. A big chill ran down her spine. Something was wrong. She quickly grabs all the necessary items she might need, stocking up on her poison tipped senbon and kunai. Lastly she pulls out the Nigiyakana Yoru goggles that belonged to her father. Her grip tightening as she held it for a moment, thinking of the strength and courage the man who once used them before another wave of the earth shaking, brought her back. She takes off her ninja headband, wrapping it around her arm tight before pulling the googles onto her head and fixing them on her forehead. She looks back at Akuto and Yokina momentarily, "You Ready..?" With a nod, they leave the compound in hast.

Sprinting through the streets, she notices a thick fog spreading throughout the district and the giant head of a leech in the distance, weaving throughout the streets. "This isn't good.." runs through her mind over and over as she rushed over to where the Tsuchikage and visiting Moon District Priestess. She looks over the looming fog thats seemingly engulfing the entire district, for the first time feeling worried.

The Kunoichi that Yudoku met at the tournament, having obviously felt the same tremors appears at her side. "I'm okay, Lady Kaminari.. but im not so sure it will stay that way. We need to get everyone to safety NOW." The Stone District was under attack and it will be up to the districts strongest and most talented Shinobi and Kunoichi to protect their home.

The destruction began by the likes of Shinomori, it was like watchings ones own kin begin throwing strikes and landing blows against the opposition. There was a pride to it, something Masaru soaked in and cherished as it happened. During this time of destruction, Masaru would take in the journey and delight within the demise of his opposition. A very glittery grin came across his face, revealing to those beside who or any who could perceive his figure upon the giant serpent could see he was ecstatic. The surmounting and rallying cries for help, screams of terror, it brought tranquility to the one recognized as the strongest of the waterfall district.

This moment of satisfaction felt as if he was being sanctified, freed from his shackles of being second fiddle to the renowned district. With the vantage point it was the opportune moment to hear more screams. More reverberation of fleeing adults, crying children, and collapsing buildings. None would be spared for what Masaru has decided to commit towards. His right hand he presented in front of his torso, a signal of what's to come, as he formed half a tiger seal. Out of a bellow arose two shadow clones, one to his frontside and the other to his back side. Each being three feet away from him, which both were handed a shrunken from Masaru's left hand while maintaining one himself. In a unified effort, each Masaru used their left hand to summon forth fifty clones. Unlike Masaru who made shadow clones, now he and his shadow clones summoned forth haze clones. Each stationed across the massive serpent, which would surprise both Hanako and Shinomori, as a technique never once shown around them. Now stood one-hundred and fifty-three Masaru's. The stage was set now the plan was to be put into action.

Each clone held upon a single shuriken, launching them upwards into the air that was designed to pivot outwards and land at intended targets several meters below. Aimed at the elderly, adult, children, all whom were civilians or unsuspecting shinobi fleeing or helping at the scene. There being approximately one-hundred and fifty shrikes launched by the haze clones alone. This was bad but the situation was actually worse. Masaru and the shadow clones had to launched these shurikens, aimed upwards in a rainbow formation which caused a time interval between the assault. Each physical presentation of Masaru assault was aimed particularly to cover a 120 degree range, completing the omnidirectional distance surrounding them and the serpent. In addition, with their individual shrunken assault the shadow shuriken technique was embarked causing three thousand and three lethal projectiles to be tossed. In total, the villagers were subjected to lethal assault of over three-thousand and one-hundred and fifty-three shriks. Masaru and his physical clones dropped their hands to the side, while the haze clones would eventually leaps off and present themselves in front of the villagers.

Masaru broke his silence...

"I should have never granted them mercy... and attached paper bombs..."

[Õusama]

Meditating atop the tower he'd sense an disturbance in one of the four corners of the village. Standing up he'd begin ringing the bell to sign the village of danger and to have all villagers evacuate immediately. From a distance he could sense the vibrations of which caused mayhem, the destruction of shops, buildings, and homes. Quickly ringing it one final time he'd begin drawing in the massive amounts of carbon rods, compressing it to form a large kanabo filled with small pieces of unbreakable diamond.

Homusubi

Whether it's a covert ANBU operation or a high-stakes mission as a Jonin, Endō's skill with ninja tools is a defining aspect of his formidable prowess as a shinobi.

​

Uniting the fabrics of carbon around his carbon veil he'd propel projecting and jumping from his mangnetic push changing the frequency to be potent enough to jump from to leap there faster. Flying through the sky kicking off the thicket of the wind he'd land in the middle of the destruction to oppose the intruders who had come to terrorize the village. Sealing unique seals Rhino into Alligator the kabano would begin to glow deep within itself and seemed to continue to grow in heat. Vibrating electricity from within the metal the metal would begin to heat up turning a solar bright white. The metal would have reached temperatures as hot as the surface of the sun.

Swinging the long horse crushing blade a solar wave would be sent down to the eel parading the street, destroying the buildings, terrorizing the villagers. The wave would move at lightning speed and being that there was no water plus the twist and turns of the city it would make it that much harder to evade. On a small scale "White Strikes" is able to knock the opponent back or break guard of shileds and other strong defenses. In this instance his Kanabo is amplified by lightning which heats the inner steel/earth Dishing a powerful strike that burns through the enemy leaving a gaseous explosion if compressed for too long. His attempt was to take down the eel first then focus on the enemy in the area. Seeing that one of the Chunin were getting everyone to safety he'd be soon ready to fight them on his own.
