The final chapter of the War with the Recluse. Unnamed Chuunin leads a team to hold back and watch for anyone escaping.
Poster's note: foul language filtered in obvious places.
"The Recluse War - End Game (Team D)"
Land of Fire
Weather-wise, the combined forces of Konohagakure and Kumogakure couldn't ask for a better day. The sky is clear and the air is cool and crisp, without being overly freezing. A staging area was set up by the Uzumaki Fuinjutsu team, who was sent here both as an apology and as support to help with the traps made by fuinjutsu. Of course, given the three known entrances into the complex, this team would be stretched rather thin, but they would be able to supplant the hidden villages' own recourses. Uzumaki Tenken is here, directly leading the Uzumaki force. He gives a basic reconnaissance of the area. The enemy is holed up in an underground bunker which has two "somewhat visible" entrances, and a third sealed entrance. It is likely the third entrance is either an escape route, or given the nature of the seals present, an access point for Hironubo, the Uzumaki in actual charge of the Recluse.
There's some strange signs of what perhaps is a rally point between the first two entrances (though the second entrance is actually designated 3 because its the one with all the heavy seals), though no one can figure out what that area actually is for. The entrance dubbed #2 is directly opposite the main entrance, while opposite the entrance #3 is a large lake. It is unlikely the Recluse would escape via that route, or so the recon evaluation shows….
Hirosu, a Konoha Chuunin, is leading the Genin shinobi to help clean up any strays that may get away. He looks over the group of Genin and nods, "Alright, we should be good. If you get into trouble call out, don't put yourselves in over your heads, got it?" Once that's done he turns back to look at the compound which they are a good distance away from at the moment.
Tatsuo has good reason to be here, ending the Recluse. Even if most don't know it. The young Nara is nervous about the whole endeavor but who wouldn't be? The Recluse are a bad bad group of people. But they're prepared to take them down for good, and they have a lot of strong shinobi to do it! He's just glad to help how he can. He nods to the Chuunin at the statement given before watching carefully.
Shinobu glances over to the Chuunin and nods quietly. Kame is standing next to the girl on her blind side, and both of them send a surge of chakra through their bodies as they get ready for everything. She isn't quite sure why she's here, but Konoha's forces were pretty much all deployed for this mission. The girl gulps silently, obviously nervous as she watches the fort in front of her for any movement… Good thing she's near the back.
Liao is uncomfortable, though she refuses to show it visibly. Her first real mission, and she didn't even have a Genin team yet… It wasn't like this was meant to be anything more than run-of-the-mill seek and destroy, she had practiced the scenario in her head over and over… Holding up a finger, she let her emotionless eyes fall upon the bug on the tip of it, whispering in the Aburame way to the beautiful little beetle. She would be her eyes and ears, a tracking bug, but where to send it…? She took another look at the map they were utilizing of the area, before she raised her hand to the sky, the little beetle taking flight off in the direction of the lake. You could never be too careful, with ninja… If anyone wanted to take the unexpected route, she would know. Nodding in her readiness to the Chuunin, she shifted her weight onto one foot, the long sleeves covering her arms blowing gently in the slight breeze.
Malik is here on loan from Sunagakure. The Recluse had been deemed one of those groups dangerous enough to warner the attention of the Kazekage. So he had been sent to provide ranged support for this particular group. Sinbad the Falcon preens himself while perched on Malik's shoulder. This is the first time he's ever worked with any shinobi other than those from his own village, but he's excited to be here while experiencing it all. With his mask firmly secured, obscuring his lower face, and his hood up to keep the sun out of his eyes, he's ready to go. His chakra surges through his body as he slips his recurve bow off his back and into his hand.
Both Hinori and Hoshimaru are here as well, the dark pup atop the Inuzuka's head while the Inuzuka herself was hiding in a nearby brush… this was only the second time she'd seen real combat… if combat actually happened… but while she was terrified of the prospect of fighting a group as powerful as the Recluse, she was also excited! Excited to show how powerful she'd truly become! How much she'd trained! And if she fell… then it just means she would never have been a good Kunoichi anyway. She waits in silence, while Hoshi just gives a low, muffled whining. ~It's too quiet…~ hinori could only nod in agreement at that as she just awaited the explosion to occur.
Excited isn't quite the word for it. Kajiru is SUPER excited, "Yeah! This is gonna be great!" She declares as they arrive. She bounces this way and that as she shows up, already she is focusing her chakra and preparing to change. She bounces a little, her heels moving up and down against the ground as she peers around at the others here. If it was quiet before, it isn't now! She grins, "I'm Super gonna kick some butt!" She declares and punches the air before blinking and stopping, "Though I suppose I claw things and not kick things." She chuckles before grinning and rushing right up next to Tatsuo and peering at him and then at Shinobu, "You two ready? I know I am!" She then turns to face their leader and points, "I'll be betting those recluse morons will be the ones calling out for help!"
Nozomi is back in the back, probably near Shinobu. She's a little nervous, but as she slips her flute out of its case, her fingers run across the bone structure and a steel determination enters her eyes. These people took away something precious to her. And even though it enabled her to grow and reach new heights in her jutsu, the emotional pain she still feels has left deeper and truer scars than even the scarring on the face and neck would show. Even her hair would grow back, but that last connection to a dear departed friend was priceless, though she would be certain to collect as much payment as she could today…
Kyu looks around at the others. He had no strong feelings against the Recluse. They attacked the village, so of course Kyu knows they deserve punishment of some kind, but he hasn't been directly affected by them. He looks up at the sky briefly before looking back ahead. He is a medic and his skills are usable from a distance. So he tries to position himself in the back.
The Chuunin seems to get some information or perhaps sees a signal that he was waiting for. He turns to face the group once more, "We're going to head to where they expect an escape route might be. Check your supplies and make sure you're prepared to go. Remember to watch yourselves, watch each other, and call out if you get in too deep." The Chuunin takes a moment to focus his own chakra after the mini-schpiel, then he starts moving swiftly and silently towards the clearing.
Tatsuo listens to all that's said by the Chuunin and nods himself, swallowing nervously as he takes a moment to focus and prepare himself. He wasn't sure what all this would entail and could only hope that he would be useful. As it was, he stayed mid-pack as they started moving, not wanting to be one of the first to meet up with whatever it was that would be coming. He also looks to Kajiru when her over-hyped self arrives before shaking his head a bit. "Not…really…" And then he's moving after the Chuunin.

RP: Shinobu transforms into KAME'S-HEART.
COMBAT: Shinobu attacks target 1 with OMEGA'S-BARK with a roll of: 37
Shinobu glances around at the different people who are with her and hopes that no one gets hurt. She makes a few handseals, and a genjutsu washes over the team. Kame yips, and those who are not Inuzuka might be a bit surprised to find they understand her. ~I'm ready! Let's go for it! I wanna beat 'em all up for hurting my friends!~ she yips a bit angrily.
COMBAT: Liao focuses 2238 stamina to turn it into 2500 usable chakra!
Taking a second to finally steel her nerves, the Aburame lets her chakra flare all the way from the base pool, controlling it to spread it's way throughout her body, feeding the insects hidden all over her form. Liao then nods, checking her connection with the beetle that would serve as and early-warning system in case of an unexpected escape toward the lake, and falls in like right behind the Chuunin and the other two Shinobi whom are already willing to begin.
COMBAT: Malik focuses 1970 stamina to turn it into 2200 usable chakra!
RP: Malik transforms into SINBAD.
Malik blinks rapidly when he realizes that he could understand the dog. "Did I just…huh. Konoha is weird, bro.." He comments before holding out his arm. Sinbad hops from his shoulder to perch on the leather vambrace on his forearm. Malik looks at the bird. "You know what to do. And no heroics." Sinbad squawks and then lifts off from Malik's arm to circle above them in the sky. He notches an arrow and begins to follow along behind the group.
COMBAT: Hinori focuses 3305 stamina to turn it into 3500 usable chakra!
RP: Hinori transforms into HOSHI.
Alright… go time. Jumping out of the bush she was hiding in, with Hoshi perched on her head still, Hinori followed along with the group as she charged her Chakra reserves after keeping them as low as she could before this… just on the off-chance there were Sensory-Type Ninja amongst the enemy combatants. Hoshi was ready to go as well, and he seemed to be rather eager to get this underway as well! A yipping noise came from ahead, and Hinori recognized Kame, as well as the wave feeling from Shinobu's Genjutsu. She just chuckled a bit at it. Hoshi's heckles raised as he started growling some. ~Right there with you, Kame! We'll get them for sure!~ Hinori just sighed. Once he got like this, there was no talking him down until the end. So she just focused on syncing her abilities with Hoshi to make their actions as fluidly smooth and fast as possible!
RP: Kajiru transforms into FIERCE-WOLVERINE.
Teeth sharpen into daggers, fingers gain claws, ears move up into furry circles, and a tail sprouts out of her. Even her toes are sharpened. She looks around and then grins at Tatsuo, "Nonsense!" She declares and then points, "We got this!" She then follows after the chuunin. She grins back at Kame, "That's the spirit!" she then rushes forward.
COMBAT: Kajiru focuses 2227 stamina to turn it into 2500 usable chakra!
Nozomi doesn't have any special transformations, but she grips her flute more tightly as she stands ready to fight with everything she has. She starts to focus chakra into her system in order to store what she needs, and her only remark is via… song? "For the fallen, we fight today."
Kyu follows behind the group calmly. As he walks, he activates the Sharingan, two tomoe appearing in his now red eyes, looking over the many chakra levels in front of him. After a moment of examining them, he focuses his own chakra, causing the air around him to become more intense and heavier. He keeps walking calmly, red eyes scanning the area silently.
RP: Kyuketsuki transforms into SHARINGAN-II.
COMBAT: Kyuketsuki focuses 6155 stamina to turn it into 7500 usable chakra!
Zori wanted to end the Recluse as well, but the main reason he wanted to go on this mission… was to have some fun outside and play before having to go right back to jail. Zori walked out his jail cell as it opened. He walks over to Atsuro, arriving in front of the Inuzuka. Zori grins at him. Atsuro says "Your right back to jail after your done with this mission.. and im taking back your wires." Zori snickers. "Fine..whatever" Atsuro reaches out his hand revealing the wires. Zori snatches the wires out his hand. Zori turns his body away from Atsuro "Dont expect me back too soon. Hehe" Zori walks out the Police headquarters. Jumping unto the nearest tree branch up above, he then travels from branch to branch till he arrived at the Mission meet up point. Zori glares at the other Shinobis from up above. There they are..Hehe. Zori then jumps off the branch landing on the ground far away from the group. He performs handseals and transforms into a squirrel. Zori then catches up to them scattering about right behind them. Zori is wanting to be as quiet and stealthy as he can. He doesnt want the others to be aware of his presence.
RP: Zori transforms into FRENZY.
RP: Zori uses HENGE.
COMBAT: Zori focuses 5720 stamina to turn it into 7200 usable chakra!
Despite their distance from the compound, that being a good hundred yards or so, the group would hear the statement that was made from the area as the ground gives a slight tremor. "So you have come at last to your doom. Come, /Inuzuka/ and currs, come to your destruction. Today will mark the beginning of a new era…" With that the battle ahead starts in earnest and explosions signal likely traps that had been revealed. And also with that a trap door is revealed at the opposite end of the clearing that people begin piling out of. People intent on escape. This is what the team is here to do.
The Chuunin sees the people begin to come out of the trap door and begins making handseals to start attacking. "Alright team, this is what we're here to take care of. Let's show them what happens when they mess with our Villages!" With that the Chuunin shoots bullets of fire out towards the opening and the people coming out of it.
Tatsuo looks around at the group as things are getting ready, wondering if everyone is as excited as the Inuzuka pups and Kajiru. For sure he isn't! But he was going to help regardless. When the men start pouring from the trap door and the Chuunin orders the attack he doesn't wait. A single handseal and little needles of water begin shooting out towards the group as they try to escape.

Shinobu watches as some Recluse appear, and she looks to Kame for a moment. Then the two seem to be on the same page, all with that one look, and chakra flows through their bodies. Suddenly, they're spinning and heading… straight for the Recluse following after Tatsuo's water needles. The two come at the group of Recluse of either side, seeking to crush them in a bloody mess.

With a sudden grin underneath her high collar, she watches as the others leap into action, a barrage of attacks of fire and water pinning her targets for her. This would be easier than she expected, if this kept up, it would be a cakewalk. Just after the Inuzuka leaps forward toward the group of enemies, she felt the beetles begin to pour out from under her skirt, crawling along her legs and slithering on the ground like a massive shadow. The subtlety involved made it far easier to latch to a distracted group of enemies, and as soon as the first barrages claim their targets, she begins to outstretch her arms, and, circling them inward, clenches a fist to seal the deal. Her chakra commands her insects, and they rise like a swarming tide, bent on devouring the chakra of her enemies, pouring over their bodies at will.
When people come swarming out of a trap door, Malik reaches behind him to withdraw one of his specialty arrows. "Hide your eyes." He announces to his comrades before he fires at the group. The arrow explodes with bright light and loud deafening sound to disorient the enemies. Quick-drawing another arrow, he fires it right behind the first, attempting to use the confusion to his advantage. "Don't sweat it, bros. I'm a master at shooting into melee combat. Feel free to get up close and personal."

Contact! "Hoshi, let's serve em up! Fastball special!" Hoshi jumped up from Hinori's head and curled up in a ball, for Hinori to hold in her hand! "EAT THIS!" A straight shot overhead to the nearest group of runners, allowing Hoshi to easily pinball between them and knock them flat on their asses for her allies to take down much easier! On the last hit, Hoshi would push off back towards Hinori to get ready for another attack!

Grinning as she rushes into battle, Kajiru frankly is going to make one person truly regret their life choices. The others might be rushing after multiple targets but she simply picks one out. She rushes at that recluse member, leaps into the air and then lands on them. Her claws and teeth attempt to slam into them and she is immediately clawing and ripping with her teeth. It's simply recommended not to watch Kajiru attack.

Nozomi knew there was a reason for her to be back here, and as she sees the oncoming wave of flesh, she knows what she has to do. Lifting her flute to her lips, she starts to play music, opting for quantity over quality at the moment as a series of nine notes starts off the musical accompaniment for the day. Three invisible swords fly out to strike at the enemies.

Kyu sees the targets come out and nods, he does two, simple seals to trigger the same effect twice. All who are affected by the Genjutsu would feel a tingling sensation flood their bodies, and stay there. If they couldn't get rid of it they would feel their eyes getting heavier, and their minds getting rapidly fatigued. It's almost as if they hadn't slept the night before if they let it run it's course. And it happens twice!

The sudden explosion cause the ground to shake up underneath Zori causing him in his squirrel henged form to fall over on his backside. What the heck was that? Seconds later the enemies appeared. Zori grins as he stares at them. The Transformation justu ends in a poof of smoke. Zori's wires lash out from underneath the sleeves of his purple hoodie at 3 of the targets slicing and slashing at their bodies.

RPCOMBAT: Tatsuo defends against with a WATER-RIBBONS…32
It's quite obvious those that were trying to escape did not believe their path would have been identified, but it had been and they're paying the price for it. As the first few people head out they're assaulted by all kinds of nastiness. Almost every variation attack hits at least a few people, others are lucky enough to have someone in front of them take a blow before diving away from the next attack. And the line of people just keeps coming, though this time they know trouble is ahead. Because of this the other trap doors are used, two more opening a short distance away from the first as people charge out and start attacking the Genin.
The Chuunin shoots more fire at people as they come in, leaving behind a fire clone in one instance to avoid an attack. But then he finds out just how unlucky he is as someone managed to sneak up behind him and knock the poor Chuunin out.
Tatsuo is somewhat surprised at the effectiveness of their attacks. Since it bottlenecked the unexpecting people in it was kind ofepic. But then they finally get on track and prepare their own attacks. An arcing bolt of lightning races towards the young Nara and he quickly draws on some water to take the blast. After that it's another handseal before a large lance of water shoots at the person, followed by a second.

Shinobu squeaks a bit as suddenly some Recluse dude tries to attack her with a fist covered in flame. The girl ducks as she comes out of the combined Tsuga with Kame, and the attack goes over her head. Then she shifts a bit and slams herself into the man's abdomen to try and knock the wind out of him while Kame comes in for the kill with a Tsuga of her own, the pup spinning in a whirlwind of sharp claws and teeth to try and rip this dude's throat out.

RPCOMBAT: Liao took 100 damage.
Not quite expecting the ambush, from perhaps a lack of experience, the Aburame girl reacted in surprise, insinctively calling her kikaichu back to her, falling back a couple steps as the tension started to get to her. She felt helpless, she only knew how to use her insects, and only hosted one type, her ancestral heritage was all she knew. There were so many jutsus going off, it was chaotic… She didn't know what to do! The taijutsu specialists seemed to be holding them back, but suddenly, out of the corner of her eye she caught a bright flash, and turned, fire gushing straight for her. She wanted to run, her eyes wide, but as those balls of fire arched forward, she suddenly found confidence, their beauty catching her spirit enough that she reached toward it, the kikaichu seeping up her body, to defend her. But it was to late, they couldn't stop all of it, and the sudden flare of pain in her side had her quickly doubled over with a yelp of pain. She fell to her knees, feeling lucky to be behind the front line, and even luckier she wasn't dead. Slowly breathing with the pain as she was taught, she slowly rose, peering back at the one who had done that.
He. Would. Know. Pain! Glaring him down, she rushed forward, reaching for her kunai. Pulling three, she lept up, giving herself an angle over the front-line fighters. Two kunai were sent back at the man who had singed her side, a roar of rage coming from her as she summoned her rather meager strength to surprise him right back.

Staying behind the group like a good ranged specialist should, a sharp cry from Sinbad from above alerts him to the arrow coming towards his way. Malik leans backwards in a display of acrobatic prowress as the arrow harmlessly passes over where his head used to be. He gives a quick thumbs up to his feathered brother in the sky. "Thanks for the warning, bro." He calls out to him before drawing another arrow and firing. Then he sends another arrow right after that one. The second arrow hits the first arrow, sending them both careening off into opposite directions towards the center mass of two of the baddies. He jogs forwards a little to adjust his position for better future shots. "Is there no end to these sand worms?"

RPCOMBAT: Hinori defends against with a DODGE…24
Hinori could see the heavy, slow axe coming towards her as she just grinned and placed a hand against the axe's flat as it was swung sideways as if to lop off her head… she had a solid placement of her hand as she just pushes herself up, allowing the momentum of the axe-swing to carry her body up through pull. As she does this, she also pulls out a couple of Kunai. She shouts out "Now!" as she signals her companion, who had taken the opportunity to jump from her the same instant she was maneuvering around the axe… and using a tree trunk, Hoshi charged forward with another Dog Tackle, while Hinori used the spin she gained from the axe's momentum to fling both the Kunai she'd held alot faster than she'd normally would have otherwise, one of them targetting her assailant, and the other going to another enemy a distance away.

The club smacks Kajiru in the side as she tries to get out of the way. She growls as she slides to hte side and then turn and growls. Her claws click together for a moment and she attempts to dive at the club swinger next, screeching out a roar. She attempts to maul him next.

Kyu looked at all the chakra being thrown around and the predictions of techniques flooding into his minds. It's a tiny bit overwhelming. Not fully used to having the Sharingan translate this much information, he caught the clone aimed to attack him, but he also caught a rather powerful earth bullet attack being aimed at… Wait, wires?… Zori. He does handseals, but he got distracted by the fact Zori was here. The clone gets too close and he ends up getting engulfed in the burst of fire and getting burned, despite this, he simply resets and begins doing different seals, the one he predicted the fire bullets coming from would have his seals interrupted, as a light seemed to just snap into existance, bathing him in a soothing relaxing warmth. He finds his muscles are a bit too relaxed to quickly do the seals, slowing him down. Not only that but to him his head gets a mind of it's own, turning and looking at the feather. "Zori, move!" Kyu calls out. Having distracted the one aiming for him. The second the goon fires the bullets the feather would disappear, allowing him to see he had missed. Kyu had also spotted that someone got injured, besides himself. He makes a note to do something about that after this is over. For now, he goes through two hand seals, "Saru, Hitsuji." A group of the enemies, if not all of them, would feel the tingly sensation of Sleepy Jutsu, but it doesn't end there. Four more seals, "I, Saru, Tori, Hitsuji!" If the goons couldn't get out of the Genjutsu before that final Ram seal, they would feel the tingly sensation shoot straight to their heads, and they would believe they have lost all their senses. This includes their sense of time. The following round of attacks, most likely won't be remembered. Kyu wants they to believe they simply blinked, if they lived.

Zori growls when his wires missed his targets. How did i miss! Zori looks around the battlefield. Zori's eyes zone in on Kyu when he is struck by the fire. Hehehe.. Sharingan and you still cant dodge these little attacks. Zori hears Kyu call out his name telling him to watch out. Zori's eyes dart over to the recluse that was aiming at him. But Kyu jumped in the way and replaced himself with a feather. Zori seen this Genjutsu before, so he knows exactly whats going on. Zori snickers "I suppose i could help you out some" With that Zori moves beside Kyu while he was performing his Black out Dream Genjutsu seals. "Heh" is voiced out softly as Zori's wires lash out at the sleeping baddies slicing and slashing at their bodies.

Hanami was all ready to take down the Recluse, put an end to this mess. Sure, she wasn't in it deep like some of the others, but this group needed to be stopped and she was going to do her best to make sure that happened. As the enemies surge she gives a grim smile, inhaling and exhaling a fast moving vortex to hopefully slam into the group. She follows it up with a flash of hand signs, sighting one of the targets hopefully hit by the vortex. If this attack hits the target will find themselves trapped by whipping winds slicing into them with a razor's edge.

RPCOMBAT: Tatsuo defends against with a WATER-RIBBONS…39
Now that more of the peoples are pouring out of the trap doors things are going to start to get tricky. There's a lot of them, definitely far outnumbering the Genin. But luckily none of them are at all talented. In fact it's really kind of sad. Tatsuo is out of luck as neither of his water lances are successful and instead he gets to deal with more incoming lightning.
Shinobu does have success, the type that happens when a human knocks into another human and leaves said other human open for attack. Such attack being a small bundle of fury and sharp pointy things. The poor guy gets shredded and just ends up flopping over, bleeding all over the place. He's quickly replaced however with another, this one with a kunai that swipes towards Shinobu.
Yay, he hit that wretched bug girl! That's what she gets for eating some of his friends! Oh look she's going to try and attack. Fire dude just smirks as the first one goes right by. But the second one is misjudged and hits him right in the neck. Oops. Should've paid better attention. Someone else merely takes his place however and charges at the bug girl with a spear in hand.
Poor, poor baddies. They never saw it coming. At one point they're just kind of trying to escape and the next thing they know they have arrows sticking out of their chest's. They didn't even do anything wrong! And they were only one day from retirement! The other archer continues his rain on Malik, seeking his revenge!
The axeman is not pleased that his axe was used as a boost of some sort and though he manages to sidestep the flying puppy he's not so lucky for one of the kunai sticking out of his shoulder. He lets out a roar of anger before he chases down the girl, slashing at her again!
The man who had attacked Kajiru is in for a treat! And by that treat I mean he's pounced upon like some sort of lizard by a cat and clawed up to shreds, rendering him at least unconscious if not actually dead. Seeing his buddy go down another dude comes at Kajiru with something a bit sharper. A shword!
As two men are climbing out of the trap doors one is hit by a sudden sharp piercing sounds that causes him to pretty much have a seizure and fall back down the trap door, hitting a few others along the way. The other man just sticks a pinky in his ear because he thought he heard something. The lightning user is still perfectly aware of the little flute girl however and throws another charged attack her way.
There's something to be said for taking a nap in the middle of the fight, but sometimes you're just so freakin' tired. Oh right, and genjutsu. The ones targeted easily become pray, just kind ofstanding around for the moment. Luckily the fire user wasn't one of those and since Kyu liked one fire clone, maybe a little more fire is needed. How about a little fire scarecrow!
Zori was saved by his friend, luckily, and didn't have to eat that bullet. But that doesn't mean it ain't gonna happen again! While one man falls to Zori's wires the earth user shoots another attack at Zori, trying to take him out!
The baddies that Hanami had spotted end up not being very bright, or perhaps just not seeing the girl. From one moment to the next they're caught up in a vortex of wind, and then there's blades slicing through the wind! Needless to say it's not much good to try and escape because they can't. Soouch man. Another wind user that just escaped a tunnel returns the favor, however, shooting wind towards Hanami.
Tatsuo manages to block away the next lightning blast with more water. Despite the fact that his attacks missed he's not giving up. A strange feeling might be sensed among those close to him as he pulls on some strange chakra. There's no visible change except those who might see his eyes. They're red. Two more lances of water are created and thrown towards the baddie, hoping to finally hit him.

These bad guys are all very troublesome! Shinobu didn't think a baddie could take another's place so quickly, and she scrambled back, only to get sliced in the arm. Owwie! Kame growls faintly, the growl echoing around for all the baddies closeby to hear. It gets louder and more threatening, effecting the bad guys' sense of sight. Wolves would step out into the clearing, then lash out to tear into everyone's throats. Not really, but this false death might have a lot of the bad guys reeling. Shinobu, too, adds to this genjutsu, sending a wave of the illusion towards the men that were attacking her allies/friends.

RPCOMBAT: Liao defends against with a KIKAICHU-COLUMN…23
RPCOMBAT: Liao took 100 damage.
Liao, feeling a bit helpless, is rather confused when one man takes the place of the other she had just killed, and, pushing the fact that she'd just literally killed someone out of her head, she moved to control her bugs again, letting them swarm about her feet. As he got close and attempted an attack, they swarmed to her defence, pushing at the spear as she tried to deflect it out of the way. But she had underestimated his strength, and as he broke passed the wall of bugs, the tip of his spear caught her along the shoulder, slicing deep enough for another cry of pain to fall from her lips. Drillit, she was a Shinobi, this couldn't keep happening!
Summoning her courage back yet again, she let herself fall to her knees, distracting the man and making him think her helpless… But as he would approach to take advantage of that, her insects would begin to swarm once more, coiling over his feet, along his legs, attempting to devour him hole. She sent more out, stretching her hand up as they flowed along her sleeve, making the long piece of cloth into a tunnel directed straight for the man's face. She wanted to cover him from head to toe in the chakra-eaters, to sink him to the ground in the swarm!

RPCOMBAT: Malik took 150 damage.
Sinbad squawks at Malik again, but this time he's a little slower in movement. An arrow slams itself into the thigh of his leg and Malik grunts from the pain. He was moving towards Liao, perhaps to give the Aburame girl a hand with her opponent, but the arrow stopped him in his tracks. Reaching down, he breaks it off instead of trying to pull it out like most people would. For now, it's the only thing stopping him from bleeding out. Luckily, he doesn't have to be near Liao to give her a hand. He draws an arrow from his quiver and fires, making it strike someone's sword, richochet off another's axe, then move towards his intended target. With that done, he withdraws another and pulls it back as far as the bow will let him, adding to the power of the shot. Then he lets it fly.

Slipping quickly to the side, the girl is well…lets just say that Kajiru doesn't exactly look like a PG-13 sort of person right now. She shakes off a little and flicks some of her previous opponent on the ground as she grins at the sword wielder, "You really should run." She then rushes at him and attempts to pin him down next and rip him to shreds. Kajiru is not a kind person when it comes to her attacks. Warning, Kajiru's attacks contain violence, mauling, and general flinging of body parts everywhere. Viewer discretion is advised.

This wave of people seems never-ending, and Nozomi is getting slightly frustrated by it. As more and more people attempt to escape, and more attacks start coming her way, she tries focusing more chakra into her perceptions. For a while now, she's been working on her clan techniques, and her frustration breaks through the last hurdle. Suddenly, half of her vision range gets the sound overlay! She smiles at this and turns toward the lightning user, almost eager to see what her newly-won eyes can do. First she sends a sound wave to disipate the lightning, then she gives him a dose of what she just gave the escapees, followed by a three-string sword to the gut!

Kyu seems to be burned by the fire user. And Kyu smiles at him. "You know. I've been trying to figure out how to create a Fire Clone. You've unintentionally shown me the correct way to do it. I'd like to thank you. And also." Kyu calls out loudly to the fire user as his new burns (and only the new ones) appear to simply fade away completely. He goes through a few rapid handseals ending in the snake seal, and the fire user would feel the ground underneath him shift oddly, and further investigation would reveal chains peeking out of the ground, if he didn't break the Genjutsu the chains would fire up out of the ground and wrap around him and hold him still. Kyu then goes through handseals, the ones for his signature clan jutsu. "I suppose you've earned punishment, so I don't have to feel bad for this, and I'm not breaking my principles." Kyu leaps into the air before firing a huge ball of fire through a ring made by his index finger and thumb down at the fire user, and anyone who happens to be close to him.

Zori watches Kyu as he goes through his handseals for the Great fireball technique. Zori grins as his eyes dart off of Kyu and over to Kajiru. It would seem Kajiru is doing ok.. for a cat. Hehe. Wolverine my butt. Zori snickers as his thoughts go through his mind insulting Kajiru. With his attention distracted from the heat of battle, The Earth bullet smacks into Zori's back knocking him to the ground. What the Heck! Zori slowly gets up, eyes moving over to the Earth user. "Very Well..Hehehe" is said in a dark tone. Zori puts his hand into his pocket and pulls out a kunai. With one motion he slashes his left arm with the Kunai. Blood pours down his arm, slowly dripping unto the ground. Zori looks down at his bloody arm. Moments later Zori head drops tilting towards the ground. Zori's huge grin widens showing the top and the bottom row of his teeth. Zori glares up at the Earth user with a crazy look on his face. He laughs maniacally. The wires lash out this time in a more aggressive manner at the Earth user. The wires would try to wrap him up then twist and squeeze him.

Hanami watches the various combats going on with quick glances, keeping her senses alert for anything out of ordinary even in this chaos. As the wind user blasts her the wind is at her call and she darts out of the way without much effort, smirking at the failed attempt to use her own element against her. She takes a moment, drawing wind chakra into her causing her eyes to flash and now leaving a permanent breeze surrounding her; shifting hair and clothes, stirring up dirt lightly. Charged she eyes the wind user and any nearby allies. Hands flying through the signs she releases the jutsu as the air would turn heavy around them, pressing any who don't avoid it into the ground abruptly. She follows this up by molding a chakram from wind chakra and sending it whizzing with deadly force for the wind user.

The flow of people has finally slowed down, leaving just lots of really beat up and dead people. Of those still standing they continue their assault. Assault in their attempt to flee. This time the water lances that Tatsuo threw at the men pierces them and kills them instantly.
Aww look at all the cute furry wait what was that noise? That howling in the distance. Scary. As it gets closer it's even scarier! Before they know it there's some nastiness killing them! Or so it would seem. The genjutsu brings the men to their knees as they imagine themselves dying.
Those bugs can sure be nasty. And the guy who is leering over Liao has no chance when he realizes, too late, that she's just foolin'. He lets out a scream of pain as the bugs quickly drain him of his chakra, dropping him to the ground in only a few seconds.
Man those arrows bouncing all over the place really are impossible to keep up with. This time the arrow finds the other archer right in the eyeball! The man drops instantly to the ground while the other arrow whistles right overhead because, well, he's already dead.
Again that pouncing bloody mawed wolverine baby girl is at it! Death comes to her next victim who succeeds only in getting out a pained scream of surprise before he bites the dust.
The lightning use ends up not doing all the swell when the shrill piercing sound reaches his ears and causes him to shout in pain before the sword of sound silences him as it sinks deep into his stomach, causing him to topple over ded.
As Kyu shoots his giant fireball it heads right towards one of the escape hatches just as a group had exited, frying them all pretty much instantly. On top of that they kind of toppled over on top of the door, forcing it shut and keeping it that way.
The earth user was quite caught up all of a sudden as wires wrap themselves around him. He mutters and tries to free himself but to no avail, sadly. Instead he just gets to feel the pain of the wires, crying out as they slice into his skin and cut him nastily.
The wind user isn't exactly caught off guard, it's just that he's too slow to avoid the stunning blow of wind and the following injury causing attack. Not only that but a few people nearby get struck down too, leaving them stuck where they are for the moment
Anyone that's left is now running in random directions, no longer wanting to face the shinobi. A number of them remain where they are, stunned from previous attacks and ripe for the picking. There really aren't that many of them left in general. If people wanted to take a few cheap shots they could, otherwise they were generally successful in stopping the majority from escaping.
Tatsuo shoots a few more lances after fleeing people before his eyes return to normal and he lets out a soft sigh of relief. They'd made it. They didn't die. That was good. And on top of that they did what they were supposed to and left lots of dead Recluse behind. Thank goodness. The young Nara turns to look at the others to see how they're doing, blinking at the bloodied Kajiru and looking elsewhere quickly.

Shinobu and Kame spring into action as soon as they realize that their targets are stuck in the genjutsu. Kame takes one side while Shinobu takes the other, both of them turning into a raging whirlwind of … well, fangs and claws. There's a slightly feral look in her eyes despite her usually timid nature, and Kame looks pretty fierce too. It's a shame that the bad guys can't see the look on the two genins' faces.

Deciding it would be best to consolidate after the shock of that ambush and the pain of her wounds, Liao finds herself quite shaken by the experience, and has fallen silent. Clutching her side, she takes a look around, realizing that her fellow shinobi are okay, and that they had won the battle. She stays out of the rest of the fight, instead recalling all of her Kikaichu and checking in with the scout-beetle she had sent toward the lake. So far, so good… Deciding it best to feed her beetles, she flares out her chakra once more, recovering what she'd lost in the fight.

Malik watches as the group begins to retreat. As they leave, he begins to rapid fire arrows, changing direction almost randomly. Afterall, if the situation were reversed, they wouldn't allow them to leave unharmed. Not to mention, it's just not how the Hayate clan does things.

People retreating? Perfect time to use that new technique, Kyu does rapid seals and seems to do absolutely nothing, but the others would notice the path the ones retreating is changing, instead of running in a straight line, they curve, and eventually end up coming back at the group. If the Genjutsu held, they would only realize they got turned around when it's too late, and if they turned to run again, they would find themselves get turned around again! No escape! Genjutsu! He does the technique twice, trying to trap as many people in the Genjutsu as possible. The first aimed at one group of five, and the second aimed at a different group.

Hanami watches with satisfaction as she showed that wind user who's boss. Yeah yeah, just a lowly peon no doubt but it still felt good. It wasn't over yet though, at least to her. With many subdued or eliminated there were several still making a run for it. And she wasn't willing to let that happen if she could help it. Keeping on the move she uses her speed to try and close the distance between her and the runners. Many start running in circles confused, which makes it easier though she can only suspect it's because of one of her fellow shinobi. Molding wind chakra into chakrams she lets a couple fly trying to tag those she can. The fewer that run away now mean less they have to deal with next time.

It appears that the team has quite cleanly cleaned up the rest of the fleeing types. The few that were out of range come running back as they get all turned around from he genjutsu, only to find themselves dead in various ways. Water lances, spinning dogs, arrows of powa, chakra sharpened claws, musical chairs - er swords - and the sharpness of ze wind chakrams. With that done everyone that could've escaped is now dead.
Tatsuo lets out another sigh of relief as the rest of the escaping folks are put down. Whew. He looks over to the rest of the group, especially the ones that're injured. Not much he can do to help with that, sadly. So…he goes to the poor knocked out Chuunin to try and wake him.
COMBAT: Shinobu heals Shinobu for 318 with FIRST AID.
Shinobu wobbles a bit, tired after the battle, and … flops down where she stands. The good news is that she still has her wits about her. The girl gets out some bandages and wraps up that cut on her arm for the time being. Kame is covered in blood, but it's not hers. The girl then looks up and makes sure that her friends, specifically Tatsuo and Kyu, aren't too bad off after the giant fight.
Exhausted and wounded, Liao finally takes a seat as the last of the Recluse fall, and she sighs heavily to herself, hiding as much as she can behind the comfort of her large collar. Her eyes are rather dejected, she had felt quite helpless at the expense of plenty of her Kikaichu due to failing to successfully defend herself. It was all she could do but to wait for treatment, too, having no idea how to treat the burn on her side.
Now that the fight was over, Malik allowed himself a moment to relax. His shoulders droop as Sinbad comes flying in and lands on his shoulder. The bird squawks while hopping from one foot to the other and flapping his wings. Malik nods and reaches into one of the pouches on his belt and gives him some raw meat, which Sinbad gulps up without hesitation. "There will be more later, bro, but right now I gotta take a load off." He glances around towards the others to see what kind of condition they were in. He winces at the arrow wound in his leg, and finally takes the time to remove it properly, bandaging the wound as carefully as he can until he can see an actual medic.
Finally returning to her normal state, Kajiru flicks off her fingers and chuckles, "That was fun." She states and nods, "Woo!" She declares as she walks back toward the others, "I had a great time, I don't know about the rest of you." She then looks around and hmms, "That got a bit messy though, right?" She chuckles while covered in what could be described as *censored for sensitive audiences*.
Nozomi is mildly damaged, not much more than a scratch really. She shuts her eyes down as the last person falls, then reactivates them just to ensure she can. It's a lot easier now, but she will need to practice using hem in order to utilize them to the fullest extent possible. Finally she shuts them down for now, and looks round and says, "We made it. That was… intense.

Kyu sees the last of them drop and sighs a bit. He then looks around, finding those injured during that fight. He goes to Liao first. Examining her wound. Nothing serious, just a scratch on the shoulder. Kyu smiles to her, hoping the red eyes of the Sharingan wouldn't intimidate her, "I'm a Medic Nin, Uchiha Kyuketsuki. Just hold still and that wound will be as good as gone." Kyu then reaches out and places a hand very very gently on the cut, and then his hand glows with healing chakra. The cut seems to simply fade away as the skin regrows and seems to only leave a light line where the cut had been. After that he notes she seems a bit fatigued. He can do something about that too! Something he hasn't done that much, he transfers his chakra into her, the chakra turning into restorative energy, assisting in the natural recovery process of regaining energy. The fatigue would simply seem to fade away. She would feel energized.
Kyu then stands and goes to Malik… He looks at the bandage and crouches down, "I'm Uchiha Kyuketsuki. A Medic Nin. Don't worry about this wound, it doesn't look bad at all. I'll have it all better in a moment. Especially since you helped by bandaging it." Kyu places his hand also very very gently on the wound. His hand once again glows and the pain from the wound beneath the bandage would melt away. It would close up and be all better. Once that's done, Kyu stands and assesses his own wounds, very mild burns, nothing major. Kyu takes the time to use his glowing hands to heal the mild burns he had as well. Once he's healed too, his Sharingan would then fade out of his eyes, and he would look around… So many dead people. Huh.
Hanami slows down on her return to the group, satisfied with the way things went down. Wasn't too hard on their end really, another clean up job. But at least they were helping get this Recluse problem taken care of. Hopefully the others handing the real muscle were alright. She hoped they returned safely. Once back with the others she assesses herself and finds she's unharmed which is nice. To those that aren't though, she'll offer to lend a hand wrapping bandages and such if needed while everyone takes a moment to recover. "Not a bad mission, nothing too bad injury-wise which is good. I'd say a success."
And that's that. With the Chuunin roused he would bashfully lead the team back to the meeting point to report to the other teams and see what happened. Hopefully everyone was succesful.
