Shizuka quickly skidded counter clockwise, her butterfly knife sliding out and coming into play. She'd stab an unsuspecting figure. The person she held captive would scream in surprise, for he didn't realize what was unfolding before them.

"Apparently we were ambushed, my guess is genjutsu, sorry about that Ei-kun."

She'd then take the moment to serve though some handseals, ending with the tiger. With her senses not blocked off, she was able sense things much more clearly now. This time, she'd try to push further, enabling better reach with her sensory methods. "Gotcha." she mumbled as the chain tightened around her captive. Though her actual target was...stabbed in with a thrown butterfly knife. There was a loud scream when it punctured the chest.

"There's only eight more left, let's clear the way." There was a puff of smoke and Miss Raiden was gone. She'd emerge within the bushes, now holding her butterfly knife. There was yet another scream after that, it seemed her victim had a partner. "They don't look like ninja, are they rogues?" Shizu began to analyze things carefully. There was more to this sudden attack than meets the eye.

"Touch down!" Shizuka exclaimed as her left foot met the docks of Tsuchi no kuni. This port didn't seem to be heavily watched despite the fact that it connected to Kaminari and Waterfall. Regardless, Shizuka pumped both arms into the air, "...FINALLY!" she then began to run across the docks, looking to the left as she saw the beach and it's interesting brown hues. Once she crossed the docks she then walked along the edge of the barren earth, making sure to avoid walking along the sand. It seemed rather...soggy, was it possible the tide came up that far?

"Y'know...this place is kinda...boring." the young Raiden had a slight frown across her features. Her nose scrunched slightly as she took a good hard look at her surroundings. There was mountains within the horizons and barren earth as far as the eye could see. Thankfully there seemed to be a man-made walkway. Thus she rested her right arm along her right hip, her left hand relaxed at her side. She waited for her nakama to exit their boat. The ferry man didn't seem to be in a hurry to get back, though it was possible he was just patient. Truthfully he seemed like a kind old man, she didn't want Echiro blowing up on him, which she was sure Kaoru would feel the same.

"Hmm this land was created with a limited pallete." yet as the raven haired maiden glanced at her surroundings, her perhiperal vision was keeping an eye on the boat. Latent curiosity made her wonder whom would follow her off first. "I bet Echiro's dying to get off that boat." thus the quick transition to her next line. "Hey Ei-kun, this place really suits you, nice and dry." Shizuka was teasing because she knew of Echiro's dislike for water but in her own way, she was just checking to make sure he was okay.

The next thing which came to Shizuka's mind was "...what's next, hmm." Truthfully, the one concern on her mind was the treasury. The group had a combined budget, which then split into allowances. They received a pretty generous allowance in this case because they'd done some good jobs lately. What was this group? They were just a bunch of orphans working for hire. They did odd jobs but recently their "strength" had been comissioned for pay. Still, with the way this group spent their money..."Definitely have to get us going on some new jobs soon, honestly these guys just spend money because to them, spending time is hopeless." that last thought caused her to sigh loudly, things didn't seem good.

Denkou Bunshin no Jutsu (Shocking Clone Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Special: Clone speed matches that of the user, and can go anywhere the user can. Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained. Explosion range covers 5 meters.
Description: With this technique, the Raiton user is able to call upon aid from a perfect copy of themselves. Comprised purely of lightning, this clone retains the user movement speed and can share linked mental judgement. Best of all, due to its flowing essence, many solid attacks pass through the clone, shocking instead whatever was used to strike them. Finally, when defeated, the clone explodes into a storm of lightning that aims to take over the nearest opponent available, taking over their body whole as it is shocked.
Domain: Raiton.

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: DDDD
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Special: Flickering is forward-moving, meaning the user will rush almost instantly to wherever they are facing. The user can flicker once per thread, plus once more each time retrained.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique, it allows a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed - to an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. Such a feat is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds they would otherwise be unable to reproduce. In the end, the user will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly should they need it. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.
Domain: Shunshin - Universal Ninjutsu.



Shunshin-Kawasu (Shimmering Flicker)
Rank: B
Type: Passive / Ninjutsu
Range: Shunshin
Special: Gives the user the option to side-step, curve, shimmy or even shimmer on a whim during a Shunshin, rather than remaining moving forward. Sidestep distance takes away from the Shunshin's total traveling distance.
Description: Although Shunshin is normally executed in a linear fashion, with enough training, the ninja can learn to limit their forward travel speed in exchange for a near-instantaneous sideways move. Useful when evading tricky attacks, or when wishing to confuse opponents.
Domain: Shunshin.



Shunshin-Kakezori (Retracting Flicker)
Rank: B
Type: Passive / Ninjutsu
Range: Shunshin
Special: Gives the user the option to perform Shunshin backwards.
Description: Although Shunshin is normally executed in a linear fashion towards the direction the user is facing, with enough training, the user is able to move perfectly opposite to wherever it is they are looking - that is, a backwards Body Flicker. Its usefulness is limitless, and carry the same rules as the parent technique.
Domain: Shunshin.



Shunshin-Sousuru (Flickering Image)
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: Shunshin/Self
Special: One image may be produced per Shunshin, plus one more each time this jutsu is retrained.
Description: Nearing their Shunshin mastery, the user has nearly mastered all the aspects behind the high-speed movement. Not only can they now move about freely at such impressive speeds with little restrictions, but they are now able to move so fast that copies of themselves are left behind, perfectly resembling their master for a brief moment in order to provide confusion for the enemy. Only chakra sensing methods will be able to discern the faux presentation, but everything moves so fast the opponent is often left without time to react, turning them quickly into a victim.
Domain: Shunshin.
