I looked out over the barren and rocky landscape of our home. Really, i had no attachment to such a mundane place, and yet, found myself returning here once again. Our encounters in the land of lightning had been intense, and definitely useful, but we had been drawn inexplicably back here. The new order of iwa, the corruption and intrigue it now offered, i couldn't help want to get involved. The new tsuchikage was an interesting man, and although it wasn't so much a sense of loyalty that made me want to help iwagakure, i couldn't just do nothing anymore.

"Darling, just what are we doing?" I said, not even turning to look at my companion. My gaze was almost melancholy, as i observed the lands, arms crossed over my chest and bright red lips set in an almost pout. I couldn't help thinking back to the eight tails, now and again. We had encountered it, barely survived, and then just left, despite my assumption that we would be accompanied by the tall, masked acquaintance of Kain's. Rummaging in my handbag, i produced a carton of slender cigarettes, followed by a bright pink lighter. I didn't really indulge this habit too often, the smell lingered too long, even with my perfume, but once in a while, it calmed me. Lipstick already staining the filter as i held it in my mouth, a quick flash of fire set the cigarette smoking, and i returned the items to my handbag as i exhaled heavily.

The one constant, the one thing i was sure of, stood mere feet away from me. Kain. The violent, crude and uncultured killer, my everything. I turned my head, looking at him with an ambiguous smile, before turning once more to stare out at nothing. I took another long drag, smoke twirling lazily skyward. Perhaps my plans and ambitions were far from being realised, but my man was still beside me.

I didn't fancy the energetic approaches the other shinobi employed. Upon reaching the drop, i merely let silk drift from my hand, descending slowly and gracefully upon the gleaming threads, until my heels landed delicately upon the water, barely rippling as my chakra sustained me. The tsuchikage was already talking as i landed rather later than the others, and apparently i was now working under this Kamitsuki fellow. He made himself known, and i looked him up and down. He looked rather younger than i, but his hair was quite nicely styled. So, the pirate girl was to go with the kage, while me and two other males were accompanying Kamitsuki and a shadow clone. I winked at my new leader, running a hand through my blonde locks.
"You may call me Coco. I'm sure you'll find my tangled skills useful, darlings." Was all i added, before placing my hands on my slender hips.

So we were to investigate the situation at the gates? We wasted no time in proceeding, following the tsuchikage and his companion until we parted ways, us stopping at the three corpses, with him and the girl continuing onwards. I supposed the first thing was to determine cause of death, although i had no medical instincts in my body.
"There doesn't appear to have been a struggle. These three look like they were merely in the way, and were disposed of like last season's prints." I observed, nudging the smallest body with my stilettos.
"This one's terribly young... Probably merely assisting his sensei on gate duty. How tragic." I murmured. From the looks of things, something, or someone, had passed through here just moments ago, cutting their way through the undermanned gate shinobi. I'd guess whatever happened, those entering iwa were powerful, as i recognised one of the shinobi laying here.
"And this one's a jounin. He was a classmate of mine in the academy... Not a weakling by any means, i'm rather concerned he was taken out so easily." I continued. I felt rather old, having been to the academy with such a person, while those around me were probably quite a few years younger, but still.

Producing a compact from my handbag, i began touching up my foundation. I couldn't really glean much more from the situation, and besides, i couldn't do much more without waiting for word from our current captain.

We were earth shinobi, i supposed. Yet, i couldn't help wonder if getting myself involved in the politics of our village was wise. After all, i had no qualms with abandoning the place, just a short time ago... Regardless, i found myself trailing behind an eager group of shinobi, led by a rather mysterious man with an intimidating persona. They must all be ninja of iwa too, but what exactly was the purpose of this excursion? Having returned to iwa after our rather prolonged absence, what we'd found was merely ruins, some remnants of a battle, perhaps? Curiosity naturally got the better of me, and i decided to tag along with these silent misfits. I kept up with them well, my familiarity in these skyscraping heels leaving me barely disadvantaged. Today's ensemble consisted of a form-fitting black dress, only minimally accessorised with a decadent black gauze shawl. Stealing through the shadows as we were, i considered myself rather appropriately dressed, for once.

We stopped shortly, apparently our destination was this waterfall, cascading down beside us. The sound annoyed me, although our 'leader' made himself heard quite clearly. However, as clearly as i may have heard him, his words rather unsettled me. Everything i held dear...? Members of the shinobi alliance, the darkness order? As barely patriotic as i could be considered, i held myself and my fashion in much higher esteem than any such organisations. As he produced outfits and accessories from his bag, i was just about ready to strut away from this farce. I truly hoped he did not expect me to dress in such a manner. The garment i pointblank refused. It was completely unflattering, and not at all stylish. The mask however... I saw its merits. Rummaging in my handbag, i produced a small lipstick, giving the mask a charming crimson pout. Fastening it carefully about my face, so as not to smudge the original's makeup underneath, i placed my hands on my hips.

The rest of the shinobi followed him through the falling waters, and with a sigh, i walked reluctantly after them.
"If nothing else, you might get to kill someone, darling." I said wearily to Kain, who i hoped had accompanied me. Then i let my arms flash golden, holding them above my head to keep me dry as i too slipped into the darkness.

totally spaced on the new systems, and thought i'd resubmit these to add in chakra costs. also, a few tweaks in the old ones, and a couple new jutsu. hope that's all okay, and it's fine if stuff isn't perfect~

shame there's no love for sasanagiii.


previously accepted jutsu with tweaks and chakra costs;

Web Walking
Rank: D
Type: Clan Ninjutsu; Passive
Range: Self
Chakra: None
Special: Always active, requires no handseals.
Description: Being as close to spiders as human beings can be, the Sasanagi is capable of walking along, hanging from or otherwise supporting themselves on any Kumonenkin or Kumonendo creation. By using the chakra infused into the golden creations, or web, when it was created, the corresponding chakra in whatever part of the body is in contact with the thread responds automatically, and the user can support themselves with ease on even the flimsiest Kumonenkin or Kumonendo.
Domain: Sasanagi, D-Rank Kumonenkin

Golden Barbs
Rank: D
Type: Clan Ninjutsu; Supplementary
Range: Any active Kumonenkin or Kumonendo jutsu
Chakra: Very Low
Special: Requires no handseals.
Description: By pouring extra chakra into any Kumonenkin or Kumonendo in creation, the sticky gold, or the spider thread forms sharp barbs along its entirety, adding a little extra lethality to the Sasanagi's attacks. These barbs are merely an extention of the Kumonenkin, and retain the same strengths and sharpness as the user's mastery allows.
Domain: Sasanagi, D-Rank Kumonenkin

Spider Barrage
Rank: D
Type: Clan Ninjutsu; Offensive
Range: See Special
Chakra: Low
Special: Requires no handseals. The range of this jutsu is the same as that of the Kumonendo, depending again on one's mastery of the Kumonenkin. The projectiles fly roughly as fast as a kunai is thrown.

D-Rank; 10 meter reach
C-Rank; 20 meter reach
B-Rank; 30 meter reach
A-Rank; 40 meter reach
S-Rank; 50 meter reach

Description: While the Sasanagi is already capable of creating almost anything from their dangerous golden spit, this jutsu allows the user to simply spit out their creations in the form of projectiles, flying in whatever direction the user wishes. Whatever the Sasanagi can create from their fluids, can be spat at their target, within reason. Only creations within the same dimensions as secondary weapons, and similar items can be spat effectively.
Domain: Sasanagi, D-Rank Kumonenkin

Spider Clone; Gold
Rank: B
Type: Clan Ninjutsu; Supplementary
Range: Self
Chakra: High
Special: Handseals. Clones move slightly slower than the creator, due to them being heavier and stronger. Up to one clone can be made, with one more per time retrained. Strength of clones is determined by one's mastery of the Kumonenkin;

D-Rank; Can withstand up to one D-Rank jutsu
C-Rank; Can withstand up to one C-Rank jutsu
B-Rank; Can withstand up to one B-Rank jutsu
A-Rank; Can withstand up to one A-Rank jutsu
S-Rank; Can withstand up to one S-Rank jutsu

Description: By continuing to spit out the strong golden substance, the Sasanagi can create replicas of themselves, which are then infused with chakra and able to act according to the user's orders. The Gold clones can take a lot of damage, equal to one's strength in the Kumonenkin creation, and can perform any jutsu dealing with the golden substance.
Domain: Sasanagi, B-Rank Kumonenkin

Spider Clone; Web
Rank: C
Type: Clan Ninjutsu; Supplementary
Range: Self
Chakra: Mid
Special: Handseals. Clones move slightly slower than the creator, due to them being sticky and unable to move without slight resistance from surfaces. Web clones can withstand up to one C-Rank ninjutsu, but cannot be destroyed with taijutsu. Up to one clone can be made, with one more per time retrained.
Description: By continuing to spit out spider webbing, the Sasanagi can create replicas of themselves, which are then infused with chakra and able to act according to the user's orders. The Web clones are incredibly sticky, and should they come into contact with an opponent can easily restrain or immobilise them. They can perform any jutsu dealing with the spider thread.
Domain: Sasanagi, C-Rank Kumonenkin

Spider Clone; Explode!
Rank: C
Type: Clan Ninjutsu; Offensive
Range: Any clone within eyesight.
Chakra: Mid
Special: Single Handseal. Has different effects depending on which type of clone is commanded to explode. Both types of clone erupt in a twenty meter radius.
Description: This jutsu allows the Sasanagi to blow up one of their clones. Should a Gold clone be blown up, razor sharp golden shrapnel will explode in a twenty meter radius, easily sharp enough to pierce flesh. Should a Web clone be blown up, incredibly sticky thread will erupt in a twenty meter radius, ensnaring anything caught within range.
Domain: Sasanagi, Spider Clone; Gold, Spider Clone; Web, C-Rank Kumonenkin

Spider Strands
Rank: D
Type: Clan Ninjutsu; Supplementary
Range: See Special
Chakra: Low
Special: Requires no handseals. The range of this jutsu is the same as that of the Kumonendo, depending again on one's mastery of the Kumonenkin.

D-Rank; 10 meter reach
C-Rank; 20 meter reach
B-Rank; 30 meter reach
A-Rank; 40 meter reach
S-Rank; 50 meter reach

Decription: Although the Sasanagi may spit their threads at an opponent, there are more uses to the creation than simply that. With this jutsu, the Sasanagi can create lengths of thread for any purpose, and these may also be produced via under the Sasanagi's fingernails or even toenails. Lengths of thread may be used for their sticky properties to subdue opponents, or expelled at heights to ascend quickly, the possibilities are limitless, aside from the range.
Domain: Sasanagi, D-Rank Kumonenkin

Chasing Spider Strands
Rank: C
Type: Clan Ninjutsu; Supplementary
Range: Any Spider Strands in creation
Chakra: Low
Special: Requires no handseals. The range is exactly the same as the initial Spider Strands jutsu.
Description: Being created from the user, the Sasanagi's thread is incredibly easy to influence with chakra. This jutsu allows the user to control their threads with their chakra, manipulating objects attached to with thread, chasing opponents with thread, simply having complete freedom of manipulation. This jutsu only works as long as the threads are still attached to the user.
Domain: Sasanagi, Spider Strands

new jutsu;

Trapnest
Rank: A
Type: Clan Ninjutsu; Offensive
Range: 40 meter area of effect
Chakra: Very High
Special: Handseals. Snares with A-Rank strength.
Description: Trapnest refers to a woman, most likely beautiful and seductive, who offers you comfort and pleasure in her embrace. However, once succumbing, one finds themselves trapped in a relationship. As is fitting, Trapnest is one of the more powerful Sasanagi jutsu, an almost unavoidable eruption of thread, creating an instant and unforgiving web. Performing the handseals, the Sasanagi presses their hand to the ground, and in an instant powerful spider silk bursts from the ground in a wide area around the user. There is no space to avoid the jutsu on the ground, and even the slightest contact with the web will hold the prey, rooting them to the spot as threads wind their way up the target.
Domain: Sasanagi, A-Rank Kumonenkin

idk. x

I rather enjoyed boat rides, although, the salty wind did tend to play havoc with one's hair. Perched neatly on the side of the boat, i smiled absent mindedly as i felt the spray tickling my legs through my new dress. So, back to earth for our oh-so-wonderful discount, and then elsewhere after we'd picked up our items? In all honesty, Kain's plans were mostly a mystery to me. I couldn't help wonder if he in fact had a plan, or was simply eager to kit himself out with some more heavy duty apparel. I still had my goals. I still had my aspirations and desires... I only hoped they still registered with him. His mind really was difficult. He wasn't convoluted or particularly deep, but his intensity and passion were sometimes hard to place.

"You know how i adore shopping sweetie, but what's the plan? I doubt all you had in mind was new clothes, right? Although i would applaud your new found interest in fashion." Turning my head to him, perched precariously as i was, i frowned slightly through my thick, coated lashes. Sighing quietly, i turned my gaze back over water, our homeland now easily visible on the horizon. We'd arrive shortly. Carelessly, i ran a hand through my hair, tossing it behind me as i watched us near land. I could wait. For Kain, i didn't mind waiting. My maid was carefully organised, expertly laid out, like a boutique designed exclusively to cater to the top clients. In the back, an understated mannequin had been dressed in a simple, shaped dress, the word 'war' printed haphazardly across the bodice. It wore glittering bangles of conspiracy, and its shoes were bold statements of power. I was composed, confident, happy to keep dressing that mannequin everyday, until finally somebody purchased the outfit showcased.

And it would be purchased. I could sell anything, no matter how long i had to wait for the right buyer to come along, no matter how hard i had to drive it.
"Darling, where exactly are we headed after you've purchased this season's battle wear?" I asked vaguely, sliding gracefully back into the boat as we pulled into port. Examining my pristine nails, i turned and walked down the ramp, my feet as steady as ever in my heels, resting now firmly back in the land of earth. We were home.
