Armand was satisfied to see his plan begin to form, but it'd take a bit longer to execute. Especially with those two kids down there. What a pain. Unfortunately, their craft was now being boarded by one of Sunso's creations. Armand's sharingan had seen it forming as he approached, and was ready as he turned around, watching it grab the tail of the bird and begin to eat away at its construction. Without any handseals or indicator, blades of wind would cleanly cut away the "infected" part of the bird, as well as the sand wraith. Another burst of acceleration from before would get them quickly away. As it fell, Armand's sharingan observed it carefully, understanding its interesting chakra patterns and constructions. It might prove useful later, but not here, high in the sky. Armand and Hana rocketed away on the bird before approaching one of the end walls, then turning sharply and ascending.
Armand doubted if the two on the ground could hear him, but he tried to call out through the rushing wind that they should continue to press their attack. There was more of them, and there was strength in their numbers and firepower. They just needed to focus. He'd hope they wouldn't spend too much time in dealing with their Sand Wraith. However, he didn't want those two dealing with both the Wraith and Sunso at the same time. Better to draw his fire. Armand made another pass on the bird, summoning with two handseals a great salvo of fireballs down upon Sunso's position. Their burning power was great, and contact with any of them would prove deadly.
Despite feeling like she was going to be sick while riding the rocketing bird, an experience she'd never been unlucky enough to have to experience before, Hana somehow mustered a sigh of relief when she heard Masako's voice coming through. She was alright and hadn't been caught... yet. Not much, but it was still something.
her thoughts quickly focused themselves. The genin didn't have the confidence the Amekage had. Probably because she could sense acutely the gargantuan chakra differences between the main players in the barbarian forces and the main players in the village.
With the sand wraith that had clambered on board taken care of, Hana had little else to but continue to keep Armand up to date. She shouted some more observations, "The enemy's chakra easily dwarfs ours. We need to finish this quickly or else he'll just outlast us!". The idea of generating a chakra scalpel just in case a living being clambered on board passed through Hana's mind but she doubted such an event will come to pass. Not when the opponent could just conveniently summon sand wraiths as he pleased, and a chakra scalpel wouldn't do anything against sand-based constructs.
xxxxxThe loud speaker inside the cage cut on once again, blaring a good deal of static before Masako's voic filled the air again. "I'm sensing two additional chakra signatures inside the dome with you. They don't seem to be clones. Both have an independent chakra system of the main barbarian. You need to get out of there, you are out matched."A moment later, the speaker would cut off abruptly as the barbarians cut the power to the main communications building. Armand and his team would now be cut off from any outside help as Masako readied herself to face her own battle. Five new chakra patterns had entered the building, most likely in search of the source of the mysterious broadcasts that had been helping out the Amegakure shinobi. It would only be a matter of time until one of the stumbled upon the broadcast room and attacked her. Masako however, wasn't going to be wasting any time. With the door still blocked by a desk, Masako placed a simple looking gas canister on the ground with a tripwire hooked into the door. Once the door opened, the gas would begin to flow rapidly, and would be more than enough to fill the small room in a matter of seconds.
xxxxxMasako then jumped up onto the control panel, grappling with the air vent until she managed to pull it free of its lodging. Slowly, she began to pull her way up into the ventilation shaft, just as the first barbarian reached the door. He didn't seem to be a fan of knocking with his hands. Instead, he preferred a large axe. The blocked door would only hold for a few more seconds under his steady assault. Masako scrambled to pull herself further into the air vent. With her left hand, she grabbed onto the wall, and with her right, she dug into her pocket, puling out a simple lighter. In this rather short period of time, the barbarian had finished hacking open the door and was now forcing it, and the desk in front of it aside, triggering the wire that was attached to the gas canister. Soon, a yellowing smoke would fill the room. The effects would be almost instant with the barbarian already on his knees, coughing heavily. The mixture would take several minutes to kill him, and Masako couldn't afford for one of his comrades to come save him, so she flicked the lighter in her hand, creating a small flame and dropped into the gas cloud. The resulting explosion was a bit more than she had counted on, shaking the entire building and reducing the barbarian and much of the room into ash. The fire, which burned in excess of 8000 degrees removed any trace that he had ever existed.
xxxxxThe blast rocked the surrounding neighborhood. Naturally, the barbarians already in the building rushed to investigate the explosion like vultures to a kill. The next few moments were important as Masako continued to slink her way through the ventilation system quietly. It would only be a matter of time until they decided to just tear the whole building down. And even if they didn't, the fire she started would soon reduce the building to ash. Already, small flames had begun to form in the surrounding rooms of the broadcast room. She had only a handful of minutes until the entire building was going to be clouded in smoke. As the smoke began to rise, Masako sought out the lowest floor of the building, hoping to beat the barbarians to the exit. She finally popped out in what appeared to be a large conference room. She scanned the building, locating a row of windows along the far wall that she charged through, escaping the building.

Kusagakure - Gennin - Medical - Body Sacrifice Sensor - Chiru CP: 165/165 Sp:5 Str: 5
Passive: Chiru • Given the ability to change their body, parts of their body, or anything on their body, but not other people, into flower petals for short amounts of time. The petals have razor chakra edges. • Chiru Clan members have higher chakra/natural perception than normal shinobi and better reaction time others as well. Body Sacrifice Sensor • Body Sensors can detect the demons/angels inside of people • Body Sensors can discover the hidden weaknesses of bloodlines like Kitsune, Apocalypto, Prophets, Evictus, Elementals, etc • You can find stealth-based enemies, even when they use chakra stealth • Can find hidden enemies • The best healing abilities out there. You can heal fatal wounds and revive the dead if they've only been gone for less than a minute and a half. (You can revive people who have been totally destroyed, if you can find even one scrap of them) • Are able to learn medical jutsu faster than others (-2 posts) • Can learn powerful medical abilities as nearly any class • Your perception is naturally good, and you have a similar muscle movement detection as the sharingan, although slightly weaker MEDICAL CLASS CHAKRA CONTROL -- Medical shinobi have exceptional chakra control. For this reason, jutsu that shinobi of this class perform have a (-5) chakra point discount. This does not apply to Academy or Genin-ranked techniques. No technique can be free when using this passive.
Atop the wall, it all looked rather overwhelming. The hordes of barbarians hurtling toward the city were one thing, but the three chakra charged leaders....they were incredible. They nearly seemed to be toying with the Ame ninja. Korrin chuckled to himself before stepping off the edge of the wall. The ninja villages always did have a flare for the dramatic. The wind rushed through Korrin's hair as he fell toward the battleground, his black leather jacket flapping behind him. The rush, the thrill of impending doom combined with the roaring air put a smile on his face. Perhaps he really did have a death wish like Rose always said he did. He always wondered if she was right.
However, a more pressing matter was at hand; namely, a losing battle. 'I'm a little rusty. Probably should start with the small-fries.'
Korrin landed into a roll. He sprung straight up out of his roll and whipped a crescent kick right into the face of a barbarian foot soldier. Landing from the kick, Korrin dropped into his Tame Za Kyokudo stance with a knuckled-kunai in his right hand. Korrin advanced through the rushing mob, parrying spears and blades, jabbing and slashing at head and throats, and delivering bone-crushing roundhouses and side-kicks to any footmen in his path.
Korrin's assault was by no means rank-breaking, but he was cutting himself a decent gash into the enemy front. Every side-step, punch, dagger-swipe, and leaping kick brought Korrin unwittingly closer and closer to Escher and his oversized opponent.

Great Job Everyone. Now that we have seen the measure of your devotion and given you something to RP about, here is a brief synopsis of what occurs at the end of the battle and in the years to come. Unfortunately, we lost this battle and have to get saved by someone. And all of your NPC friends are basically dead. So there is that too. But you do all get credit for participation. To see what credit you got, click the spoiler below. Synopsis: Despite the valiant efforts of the warriors of Amegakure and Uzushiogakure, they were no match for the barbarian onslaught. But, just as it seemed all hope was lost, the Shoguns and their armyies appeared, drawing the barbarian's attention away from the villages. Before the barbarian armies could be surrounded, they ordered a retreat, leaving back across the borders, a path of devastation in their wake. The Hidden Villages were all but left in ruin. Only a handful of shinobi from both villages surviving what would become known as the Village Massacres. In the wake of this terrible plight, Amegakure and Uzushiogakure pool their resources, coming under one roof, and with the support of a powerful Shogun, begin to rebuild and rearm for the coming storm.

"For out of the ground we were taken for the dust we are...."
Kaijuu appeared silently and gazed around seeing he was the first to arrived. Not really minding he looked about trying to discern the best course of action to avoid attention and to complete the mission as fast as possible. While doing this a slight sigh escaped his lips. He was hoping for a female to be in his squad maybe even two if he was lucky. He had observed them for some time but never actually talked to one. Though it would appear Kaijuus luck would not yet begin, he was put on a squad with all guys and even their sensei was a male which meant he would have no interaction with a female.
"I should dig, while one of them does crowd control. It should take too long assuming I can get some help." He mused looking around softly for the comrade he desired. After a few moments he turned and saw what he was looking for. Two small trails of unearthed dirt. Kaijuu walked over and gently put his hand into both and pulled out two voles who were anxiously trying to scramble from his grasp and back into the ground. "Shhhh." Kaijuu whispered to them having turned from everyone else so no one would see what he was doing.
The two voles would suddenly relax in Kaijuus hand and his grip loosened allowing them to awkwardly but comfortably rest in his palms. "There is some heirloom buried down there and I need you two to get it for me.... Do so and I will take you to a place where the dirt is nicer." He said softly putting them back on the ground. The two voles looked back up at him and seemed to then walk around as if they were trying to detect where the best place to start digging was.
After a few seconds they broke ground and soon disappeared digging down into the soil after the prize the kage had sent Kaijuu here for.
....and to the dust we shall return."

Michael arrived a while before Kaijuu showed up and sat atop the gates and waited. As he waited he would think more about the village and how the power struggle of this world would change. Especially the barbarians and when they would attack again. Yes now the village was two villages strong but being how badly the two were defeated by two armies, this time they would be attacked by double the forces.
After a while he decided to put some signs up to detour others from entering the area. Putting said signs up in busy key areas which read, Warning keep away important business for Lord Amekage. Most people would acknowledge the sign and head the other way, but some kept walking ignoring the sign completely, to which Michael calmly escorting the people the other direction.
When he noticed Kaijuu he would walk over and nod before in a nearly silent voice say. "Hello Kaijuu. I have already made signs and started on the crowd control as I don't use Doton so digging isn't my speciality. And what might your talents be? I am proficient in Raiton jutsu, medical jutsu, and sealing jutsu. I prefer to attack and help from the back lines." He thought asking now would alliviate the trouble later of finding out later on when it could mean life or death.

"For out of the ground we were taken for the dust we are...."
Kaijuu didn't even look back at Michael as he watched the duo of workers he had set loose continue their mission of searching for whatever heirloom was buried beneath the gate. As his comrade asked him a question he supposed he needed to answer or else he would seem rude which was not the first impression he was trying to give.
"CQB, Katon, and Raiton" Kaijuu said not bothering to do anything as a light rain ensued. His attire didn't really seem suited for rain but then again anyone watching would soon get the feeling that Kaijuu really didn't care what was suited for what. His clothes were the most basic and cheat shirt and shorts that could afford. In fact one would probably even guess that the clothes were free which would not be a wrong hypothesis.

Michael would listen and nod as Kaijuu spoke before reaching into his coat pocket and pulling out what looked like a single playing card. Placing a little chakra into said card he returned it to his deck and would then excuse himself. Noticing more people starting to gather he began working on crowd control and escorted people away from the site.
Going to where his signs had been he noticed they were gone and just sighed. He would begin making new ones and this time they would have a little surprise hidden inside of them. On each sign he inscribed the seal for cold and placed a little chakra in each. Once he replaced the signs and his hand left it it would start to get really cold as to detour little hooligans from ripping them down again.
He smiled as he observed his work and watched for who ripped his signs down. After waiting for 5 minutes he watched one young academy student create 3 clones and each head to a sign and reach for it at the same time. When their hand touched the paper though they quickly withdrew their hands milliseconds after they touched it. Michael couldn't help but laugh at the child and his clones reaction. The student noticed Michael laughing and quickly ran away at top speed. Michael smiled and resumed his work.

"For out of the ground we were taken for the dust we are...."
Kaijuu didn't change his gaze or bother to inspect what his teammate was doing and instead merely knelt down the water now soaked through his cloths and hair though for some reason it didn't seem to phase him. Kaijuu had grown up in the forest without any parents or shelter so the natural shifts of weather had no real effect on him.
By the time Michael had finished his sign preparations the two moles returned to the surface with a wrapped bundle in their grasp. Kaijuu nodded softly to them and whispered something before pointing off in a direction and chuckling softly as they dug off headed for better digging conditions. He scooped up the bundle that was undoubtedly the heirloom their Kage requested and walked over to Michael handing him the package without making eye contact before taking a step back and awaiting for what should be done next.
"Just perfect, no female on the squad and one of the members of our squad didn't even show." Kaijuu thought with a phlegmatic gaze to prevent from showing his disappointment. He had a slight intrigue with Michael the combination of his skills were an odd pairing but not intriguing enough to dissuade Kaijuu from his aloof nature.
He proceeded to tilt his head up and close his eyes allowing the rain to gently kiss his face over and over with each falling drop.
....and to the dust we shall return."

Michael took the package and was amazed how he got the animals to help him so easily, and decided to ask. "So how exactly did you do that with the voles? I mean you did not need to dig nothing up and you got animals to do all the work. That's amazing dude, but maybe we should head back or should we wait for our supposed "teammate? Sorry for all the questions, just I am curious to know about my squad."
As he waited for his associate's answer he decided to lean up against a pole and run some clans and bloodlines through his head to try and place where this boy's lineages lie. He pulled the boys card out of his deck and began flipping it throughout his fingers while the rain gently caressed the village with its warm touch. There were many many clans in the world. And the ones that could do this were Yamanaka with their mind abilities, the Nara and their shadow control, almost any genjutsu user out there, and then there was one more...but what was it. They are physically strong but who are they. He could not remember but it didn't matter there was to much to do right now and not enough time.
For instance what jutsus should he learn next? Probably some more Raiton or Universal Jutsu to make him better at his ranged combat. Maybe a couple close combat jutsus but they already had a close quarters combatant on their squad. And then there was the mysterious squad mate who did not show, which kinda irritated Michael he would not lie, but he had never seen the man nor his combat style to warrent his style at all. Damn it's hard to keep up with everything.' He thought to hsrlf

"For out of the ground we were taken for the dust we are...."
He heard the barrage the questions ensue and a small sigh escaped his lips. It was not an irritated sigh but rather a tired one. Kaijuu had a lot of interaction today especially for his standards but it seems there was more to be had. Deep down he was rather pleased with this wanting to overcome his reclusive nature, or at least some part of him did.
"I am part of the Jyuugo clan. It is why I was given the name Kaijuu. It means monster. Part of that allows me to communicate with animals." He said his eyes still closed as the rain fall on his his face seemed to almost calm his mind; making this conversation all the more easier for him. "What clan are you a part of?" Kaijuu inquired asking his teammate the first question he ever had. Kaijuu was a little curious but in reality he was more curious to know if he was doing this small talk thing correctly.
As Michael asked about returning or staying and waiting Kaijuus eyes now opened and looked upon Michael for the first time. They were calm but strangely ominous as if Kaijuu was fighting back something internally. "I am not qualified to make that call. Waiting or going is not my decision to make." Kaijuu declared concisely deferring the decision back to Michael. This was not a passive nature surfacing but just a general lack of interest in making the decision. If they stayed Kaijuu could remain in the soothing embrace of nature, but if they went he would likely be able to begin training so all in all he didn't particularly care which Michael chose because both options had their positives and negatives.
....and to the dust we shall return."

Michael nearly kicked himself for forgetting Jyuugu, the cursed clan. Then he was asked about his Clan and smiled. "Oh where are my manners? My name is Michael Uzumaki-Uchiha, and as my name suggests I am of the Uzumaki Clan and of the Uchiha bloodline. Hence why I chose Ninjutsu and Sealing, the medical is for helping my teammates being I'm always on the back of the squad. But I am reconsidering the medical possibly as it spreads me to thin in my capabilities. What would you suggest dude?"
As Kaijuu spoke about the choice was basically his he spoke again in his soft quiet voice. "I say we wait five minutes (posts) and if he doesn't show we head back. Sound fair?" In all actuality he wanted to learn more about his teammate and now was a great time to find out

"For out of the ground we were taken for the dust we are...."
Kaijuus eyes narrowed when he His teammate stated he was both an Uzumaki and an Uchiha. "Quite an interesting combination." Kaijuu said remembering from his reading that in the past those two clans were often in conflict with one another. Not as much as the Senju and Uchiha but still. "Medical, Sealing, and Ninjutsu is pretty wide spread." He noted Michaels wide array of skills thinking in his head that the two would mesh well together.
His eyes returned upward and closed allowing the rain to once again clear and clam his mind. It for some reason making this conversation easier. As if not seeing who he was talking to and the soft touch of the rain helped keep his mind off of it. "I am going to be a Taijutsu and bloodline/clan specialist. Specializing so narrow seems a bit risky but I believe it will yield a truly powerful result." He spoke softly more like thinking out loud instead of talking but regardless it was the most he had said to anyone in well ever.
When Michael spoke about waiting five minutes Kaijuu simply nodded in agreement.
....and to the dust we shall return."

Michael would nod in agreement as he looked at the card he was flipping through his fingers. The Uzumaki would notice that he didn't have his bloodline just his clan. "So you say you will become a taijutsuist and a bloodline Clan user only? Then what if you don't mind me asking, is your bloodline is?" As he felt the rain hit his face he would tilt his head back and enjoy the warmth the water brought with it.
After a moment of enjoyment he would turn towards Kaijuu again and decide to get to know him better. "So Kaijuu are you originally from Amegakure or are you a refugee as well from Ushigakure?" He knew he had asked a question that was real close to home and felt a little bad about it.
As the card danced through his fingers he did wonder about their other missing squad member. What was he like and his skills and abilities. He wanted to get every ones info on his cards in the village, but especially his squad mates. He already had the Amekage's card in his deck as he saw him fight first hand three years ago. In fact he had gotten many of his cardsin info that day as he had seen many different battles rage across the village, his sharingan capturing them all for his brain to remember.
Then he came up with an idea to pass the time. "Hey Kaijuu you said you wanted to train back up at the Amekage's office right. Well how about a friendly little spar to pass the time, I mean this way we can gauge our strengths and weaknesses?"
