As Yuhwa continued to listen to the Kusa-Nin while at the same time balancing the words of her temporary ally, her mind contemplated on deep thoughts. By taking bits and pieces of information she knew about Hidden Villages, scrolls, ANBU, and the sort, she'd formulate sentences that would be serve her purposes when replying to the Nuke. As words foamed out of the mouth of the Kusa-nin, a small grin began to formulate on Yuhwa's face before she'd begin to chuckle every now and then as the Nuke talked. Following the full explanation of his master plan and explaining what she might gain out of the endeavor, it took Yuhwa a moment before she'd click back into reality and react to the proposed plan.

From her silence came a low and low cracking thunder or so one could say as they listened to her clap in applaud of the Kusa-nin. At that very moment, it seemed as if things would go just as the Kusa-nin wanted. "Wow. Just wow. You're so cool. That plan has got to be the . . . WORST fuckin idea I have ever heard in my entire life. I mean, could you be anymore dumb? Do you even know how a Hidden Village works? Jeez." There would be a momentary pause as Yuhwa allowed her words to sink into the Kusa-Nin's head before resuming. "Let me start off by saying that ANBU are not so weak that we can so easily barge into the Village. Hell, you got caught by me and me alone and I'm just an Academy Teacher. ANBU are way stronger than me." This was, however, a lie as Yuhwa could easily handle your average ANBU and could probably take on an entire village alone if she so wished.

"And ANBU won't just abandon their post cause of a commotion in the forest. They will send out a search party comprised of other ANBU or Shinobi -- not the ones protecting the damn gate. Please, get your facts right." Yuhwa couldn't help but rip this man a new one as his plan was ludicrous and it had failed to capture her interest and only her disgust. She began to doubt if she could even use this man to her favor seeing how idiotic his idea is. "You also say that all you need is a distraction to steal the scrolls and burn the tower down? You, one man who could not even escape me, want to barge into the tower and confront ANBU, Genin, Chuunin, Jounin, and the Hokage and expect to win? What the fuck? Are you an idiot? I swear, did you even spend two seconds to think this plan out?"

Before Yuhwa could go on any further, she'd cease her talking and take a deep breath to calm herself. If she had gone on any longer, she might have killed the Kusa-Nin for being so utterly useless in her eyes. Truly, she felt it would be best to just end the life of this man and move on. At that moment, his inanimate weaponry seemed more valuable than his life to Yuhwa. She would, however, stop herself from acting rashly and took a moment to think all of it through. After a moment, she looked to the Yuki-Nin who had taken the chance to rest and speak her plan. "You're absolutely right. This plan is just dumb. We're heading to Suna and he'll be a prisoner. Perhaps the Kazekage can make use of him. Oh, and we never introduced ourselves. My name is Tae." Though Yuhwa is her first name, they were nowhere on friendly terms so he'd be presented with only her last name. With that, she'd turn to the Kusa-Nin before using her two snakes to inject him with poison; prevent him from attempting to escape.

With her remaining three snakes, she'd use them to completely wrap around the Kusa-Nin to the point even his eyes are covered. The only portion of his body visible would be his nose so he could breath and not suffocate to death in his little prison. Once done, Yuhwa would essentially drag the man all the way back to Suna where the Kazekage may have use for him.

Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Special Bloodline Technique / Nintaijutsu
Range: Self
Chakra/Stamina: High
Special: Adds a unique poison to all Kage Hebi related techniques and strikes. Highest rank known determines amount of time needed for bite to sustain before poisoning is successful. Poison comes from a unique snake venom, leaving struck victims to suffer a variety of effects based on its strength (highest rank known.) The only known antidote for this poison is literally the blood of a Kage Hebi being commingled with one's own - the blood of the one that inflicted the victim with the poison has a 90% chance of negating the effects of the poison; the blood of an immediate relative has a 50% chance; the blood of any Kage-Hebi has a 10% chance.


D: Dizziness; lack of focus [1 turn]
C: Nausea & diarrhea; uncontrollable twitching [3/4th's of turn]
B: Poor balance; minor hallucinations [Half of turn]
A: Intense vomiting; mini-seizures [1/4th of turn]
S: No balance; unresponsive limbs [Near-Instant]


Description: Snakes are one of the most venomous creatures of the animal kingdom, an important attribute for survival and dominance. In the case of the Kagehebi, this trait has not been overlooked. With intense training, the clan member can learn to produce a uniquely strong poison which can be added to their clan jutsu in order to leave their victims helpless.
Drawback: Kagehebi.

-Senei Ta-Jashu

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Don't leave me, my Kage-Hebi brotha!

- Changed Slithering Snake Mode to that of a Tai Primary so it is not on the level of gates but a significant speed boost. Increased Rank.

- Changed Gathering of the Snakes so that a severed head cannot be reattached. Limbs/body parts that are reconnected are able to function normally after reconnection.

- Reduced base duration of Scalehide by one turn.

Kamaitachi (Cutting Whirlwind)
Rank: C+C+C +C +C +C +C +C +C +C ( -500 )
Type: Offensive / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: 10+ meters
Special: Size of tunnel opening measures 5 meters, and wind blasts can travel 10 meters; each time relearned, the mouth grows by 5 meters and the blast itself travels an extra 10 meters..
Description: This jutsu was brought to fame by a legendary Suna shinobi from long ago, and was named after a mythical creature able to command the winds on a whim. After channeling wind chakra at either their weapon or limb, the user swings it around and brings forth a most intense tornado, coming out from the weapon/arm. Once it strikes the user, the tornado tips upward and takes the user up, keeping them imprisoned by the strong currents, and delivering multiple waves of cutting/slicing damage onto their bodies, as well as dropping them hard onto the ground afterward.
Domain: Fuuton.

Contrary to popular belief, a 50 meter wide fuckin tornado does make a sound easily able to cover the noise a slender reptile makes when parting dirt. And contrary to popular belief, ignoring actions done onto you result in the hit being an auto-hit.

Thus, as the wind wielding man attempted to strike, he'd find his own blade smacking him in the face before the snake sank its fangs into him. Injecting lethal poison, he soon found himself able to do anything but puke his guts out until a massive snake emerged from the ground and wrapped itself around him; squeezing him to death while being dragged underground.

Kahime used shunshin to escape into the trees. Narrowly escaping the snake, he didn't know was behind him. Hearing the snapping jaws of the snake however, he was alerted their presence.

He jumped down from the medium sized tree.and landed right next Shizuka, to his left and a few feet behind him.

Despite unknowingly escaping the clutches of death, there would be no way the Nuke(Ga-in) would be able to hear the snapping jaws of a snake as they make no noise when biting. Thus, he'd have no idea his life was being targeted by snakes but he would be able to see his ally killed by one. By attempting to move to his ally, Ga-in placed himself in the most defenseless position seeing as how Shizuka(Sohyo) resided 40 meters from the treeline, Ga-in's jump was not a small one but one that required a great amount of strength and time.

This allowed her to easily set up a defense by bringing forth 7 large anaconda-like snakes that would wrap around her and the branch she stood on like a dome.

With her heat-seeing ability still active, Yuhwa wasted no time in securing the kill which had eluded her. Using two of the large snakes which had defended her, she sent them after the Nuke who had just taken flight. By being in the air and having no means of dodging in mid-air, it would literally be impossible for the Nuke(Ga-in) to dodge the snakes that traveled after him. Moving at 6 meters per second, they soon caught up to him and wrapped themselves around his body; constricting his body until death.

As soon as Yuhwa had caught her airborne prey, she jumped from her perch atop a branch and toward the beings in the middle of the field. While airborne, she'd send three of her large snakes into the ground where they moved with utmost haste to secure a few more valuables. Two of the large snakes would make their way to the Hoshigake(Kisarazu) from below and emerge; wrapping themselves around him and dragging him beneath to crush him into pulp. The last made its way to the deceased Nuke(Yuuza) and wrap around not his body but rather the short sword(Ardemus) he possessed. Yuhwa had seen the abilities of the blade and was interested in its abilities which lead to her stealing the object from his dead body. Quickly wrapping itself around the weapon, the snake only took a moment to secure itself before ripping the weapon from the dead body and underground for momentary storage. The last two snakes would wrap themselves around Yuhwa to act as a shield to protect her from the weak but large tornado barraging the battlefield. From her perch atop the branch, she'd land about 30 meters from where the rest of the fighters(Hotarubi, Spade, etc) are.

Last but not least, the attempted stealing of a kill by the Non-Ninja. Though he tried his best to take the head of the Nuke(Hop), his efforts were in vain as by the time his blade would have cut through the nukes head, the large snake had already covered it; leaving the Non-Ninja to cut the snake but barely leaving much of a wound before the snake made its way underground with the body.

Range: 0 - 50 meters
Chakra/Stamina: High
Special: Distance and strength of extending snakes depends on the user's understanding of the 'Way of the Snake'. Speed of snakes depends on the user's highest known rank of 'Jatai no Daija'. Initially 10 snakes come forth, with 1 more added for a maximum of 30 each time retrained.
Description: The final evolution within the Senei Jisha tree. Using their snake charming abilities, the Kagehebi can extend large snakes from their sleeves by way of the Senei Jashu, enveloping the target in a flurry of snakes which will coil around the them and bind of impact instantly. The further addition of the user's murderous intent can weaken their target's resolve, and only a giant burst of chakra such as the Gates may break free of the snake's hold, which constricts onto the victim's skin as if the reptiles were comprised of pure iron; digging into the skin and biting, a most horrendous way to expire...
Domain: Kagehebi. Nan-Kaizou 'B'. Must know Senei Ta-Jashu.

Much to her surprise, it seemed by revealing herself to be a Suna Nin, she did indeed get a better response from this man she spoke to who's name she did not know. Almost like sea, the expressions of this man changed ever so rapidly to the point she questioned whether he possessed any real emotions at all. Seeing as how he constantly shifted in emotion, there was no way Yuhwa could every fully trust this man but it did spike her interest a bit. There was only one reason she even remotely cared what this man did and that is because he is similar to herself. This demeanor she wore and showed to others is but a ruse; a lie. Deep down, her actions are made solely for her own benefits and not those of others. She had no qualms about killing anyone as long as it benefit her in some way.

The thought of killing this man did cross her mind but such actions were held back by her desire; desire to test her theory. Soon, her ideas of killing him faded when he revealed a slashed headband to her. This mere item had peaked her interest and she wanted to know more about this man and where he resided from. This was not the first Nuke she had run across but it was the first Nuke from Yukigakure that she came across. From his words, she could already garner that the headband he held either belonged to himself as he seek someone with a similar headband thus the chances of the current band being his were the highest.

This being the first Nuke Snow Nin she had ever met, it was obvious she could not help this man in his search but he didn't know that. Yuhwa had obvious reasons to be interested in the Nuke and she couldn't just let him walk away so easily. Almost instinctively, her mind formulated an idea; a lie. "I have seen a band similar to yours but not for a very long time. The last I laid eyes upon such an object was back home." Yuhwa could have easily said "Sunagakure" and not "home" but she had another idea. By allowing him to think over what she said, he'd formulate his own ideas and reasons to distrust her. By making him distrust her, his actions would be easier to predict as all moves he made would likely conflict with her own -- and there was many reasons for him to distrust her.

For a Shinobi to take an "extended" leave of absence is suspicious enough cause who had heard of Shinobi taking vacations. Then there was also the ambiguous mention of "home." What exactly did she mean by that? Did home not refer to Sunagakure or perhaps her home was really another village? Everything Yuhwa spoke held half-truths and half-lies making it easy for others to distrust her. Surely, this man before her would too lest he be a fool.

The more she tried to contain her laughter, the harder Yuhwa found herself laughing more and more. It was almost as if there was nothing in this world which could make her stop laughing at the actions of this man until she was able to see his reaction to her own. As tears ran down the mans face, her own face reverted back to that same old face of shock and surprise. Her mind, yet again, could not fathom what was taking place before her. "Is he seriously crying? What the hell?" she thought to herself as she watched in disbelief that there still existed such a weak man in this world. Just how had he come to survive in this age where the strong ate the weak confused Yuhwa, however, before she could finish her thoughts his demeanor quickly changed. In her mind, too quickly.

". . . huh?" was her only reaction to his question as it confounded her how he knew she was from Suna until her mind came to realize what he was talking about. Her left hand lifted from her stomach and gently moved atop her head where her hand laid upon not hair but something metallic; a headband. "Crap." See, the headband atop her head represented an idea -- an idea that had formulated in her head not too long ago after her last social meeting. Yuhwa, for whatever reason, believed she might garner a greater reaction from another by revealing herself to be a Suna nin. Thus, the headband came into play when in reality her only identification was a small Suna symbol located on a small crest on her ribbon located on the back of her head.

With a part of her identity revealed to this man, she'd have no choice but to continue interacting with him. She'd use this last endeavor to test out her theory; to see if she truly would be able to garner a greater reaction from another with her identity of being a Suna nin revealed. "Yep, I'm from Suna. I'm on an extended leave of absence. Shinobi take vacations too, you know." she would answer to the lad about the same age as her before rising from the ground. Once on her feet, her hands moved to brush off the dirt on the backside of her skirt before resting on their respective side of her waist.
