Kisei sighed weakily at the sight of the slightly worse for wear slums. While they had been glassed a bit during the attack it wasn't in the direct line of sight nor did it get in the way or try to avert to crisis so they remained largely unscathed. It was a humbling site, to see that this was all that survived such a terrorfying assault. Kisei recalled the former Kage's words, "The slums are the worst of what the Sunagakure was to offer."

The Ushinatta sighed again, now this place was the only thing left of his home. When he had been forcefully exodized, when he was forced to move to the Konohagakure he had heard stories of the deteriorating state of his beloved home. In all honesty Kisei should have been able to piece together the puzzle. But, it's hard to judge a place like the Sunagakure too much when your last home was hell. Kisei quietly sat down against one of the sandstone walls trying to suppress those memories. The sad, the happy, the terrible. Alpha had been the best he could, single handedly keeping Kisei and others under his watch safe from the brunt of the chaos of the real world. But he knew, Kisei knew as well. In that world, in that time and place, death and chaos walked among humanity. By the age of six, Kisei knew what it meant when a person went to sleep, and never woke up.

He had hoped that this place would be different, and it was, the people here looked actually alive. They were happy even when the conditions around then weren't ideal. But, turns out humanity is just as flawed here as it was back there. It just wasn't as noticeable beyond the smiles, full bellies and handsome ninja.

The Ushinatta was snapped out of his stupor by the sounds of dull metal clashing from inside one of the buildings. Kisei ignored it, passing it off on a dropped item. Then it happened again, and again, a third time. Each discordant screech assaulted his ears. Eventually he couldn't just stand by. Something suspicious could be going on. Kisei reached need to him for his umbrella, his pinwheel already strapped around his back. Heading inside one of the hollow buildings.

As he got closer, the sound got louder, sending chills up his spine with each echoing clash. The ninja stopped around one corner, the sounds emanating just a few steps away from him. Deftly switching his umbrella to his right hand before intercepting.

As he turned around the corner he questioned. "Now do you mind keeping it down, some of us rather our midday siesta not be interrupted."

Lacking. Everything was lacking. She was lacking decent sleep, she was lacking a proper training place and lacking in her skills. The Jugo blood caused her to lack proper control over most of her chakra, either impatiently interrupting it or letting it burst in a massive display of uncontrolled rage and power. Not only that, her taijutsu felt lacking as well. Too limited. Unarmed combat was not what bothered her since she actually loved to get close and personal to beat up her enemies, but the body seemed to be about the only medium where her chakra could express itself. It felt redundant, as the medical training given by Lamya already covered that and more, whereas her Jugo blood allowed full-fledged transformation and mutations.

Seeing Lamya and Daremo alike express chakra in an external form of a different sort than the chakra manipulation of iryojutsu made her envious. It made her feel less than whole when it came to the possibilities before her. A contradiction to what they saw, their envy being the Jugo's naturally affinity to senjutsu chakra. So in an attempt to make up for what she was lacking, Laïs had picked up her senbon with sudden obliged interest and was now figuring out on how to improve her weapon skills.

Senbon would be thrown with vigour and fury at the practise station. At this point, the Jugo was rather venting her frustrations rather than actually practising, indulging the Raging Beast that she was despite the otherwise calmer attitude she maintained. Senbon would clatter wildly next to the target mark, scraping against metal walls that held it up. Nothing too bad in sound. Until someone else was of a mind to start scraping metals together, or whatever it was exactly, in the building right next to it. The first time, she'd ignore it, but after a few more times, there was no longer holding back the Jugo who was about to frenzy and beat the living life out of the idiot.

With a seething anger, amethyst eyes turning claret as blood lust was rising, she picked up her senbon and moved over to the wall that was shared by the two buildings. With a loud roar, her chakra infused fist would find the wall and clobber a hole through it before her leg would do the same. As she crawled through the newly found 'door', whatever whoever was doing would instantly cease. But it would not be her question which would require an answer. From the other side, through the door like every normal person generally would do, a guy would step in and start shouting at the origins of the sound.

"Now do you mind keeping it down, some of us rather our midday siesta not be interrupted."

It didn't happen often, but the Jugo's mouth opened then closed as she was about equally surprised at the timing of it all. A mixture of annoyance for the new perpetrator denying her vent of rage and a need to burst out in laughter as her own annoyance was being shared by a total stranger, she would just stand there watching to see what would happen after that.

Whoever they were, they we're dangerous, this wasn't a normal thing to punch through walls. Kisei noted immediately the kind of destruction they caused. It was a tempting thought to just whip out his pinwheel and vivisect this unstable threat, but perhaps, perhaps, they could spare the bloodshed today. Hopefully. Especially considering that his weapons might not work too well against this kinda person. None the less, he had to try and settle this.

"If ya want to release some stress, there's a desert just a kilometer out. That's where I'll be if you wanna have a good time. Unless you got a better place in mind?" He suggested softly, shrugging. If they had no suggestions Kisei would whip out his umbrella and tap it on the ground before jumping ontop of a repaired building. The stone shifted slightly under his weight before settling down. Kisei sighed in relief, moving his eyes towards the main exit of the Sunagakure, leasurely jumping off from building to building towards his target. Making sure to give enough time to allow his possible companion some time to catch up if they weren't as fast as they were strong.

Eventually he landed upon the real desert sand, finding himself not too far off from the entrance. The landscape around him, thankfully so. The refugee relocation efforts were located inside of the walls of the Sunagakure, away from the one following him, hopefully. The Ushinatta flipped his umbrella open overhead, blocking the sun, before taking a seat in the sand. He'd give them five minutes at most before heading back and looking for them. Kisei analyzed the situation to see what, if anything, he could deduce about his 'friend'. Try as he might he could not see anything past rage, 'inconclusive data' he settled. Kisei didn't know enough about the situation to make an accurate assumption. Either way, he could just hope that this didn't end badly.

Whoever this guy was, she had no idea. On top of that, he found it necessary to suggest a place for her to vent her frustration. Amethyst eyes would narrow in disbelieve, not all too sure how this guy was aware of her frustrations and even less why he would offer a practising area in the middle of the blistering desert when she already had a place to begin with. He seemed rather uncaring about the whole ordeal though, shrugging his shoulders at his own offer. As if he wasn't aware she was a Ryujin. Or the fact there was a war going out on there with four crazy Nations out to get the whole of Sunagakure and trample it under their boots for no other apparent reasons but blind hubris. And Lamya, of course.

Another possibility popped into her mind. He could be an upstanding member of one of the Nations, trying something non-hostile to induce a false sense of security, lure her away and execute a sinister plan with hidden allies... Knowing she had recently suffered such an assault, the Jugo wasn't keen on the casual approach.

"And who are you exactly...? Do you believe me to be so naive as to blindly follow a stranger?", she'd ask him, annoyed at his sudden suggestion. She'd place her hand on her hips, looking at the boy with the umbrella and wondering why exactly he needed that for? Protection against the sun sounded likely though she hadn't met many who used an umbrella for that purpose. Mostly simply wore a scarf, perhaps a turban or something of that sort.

As her eyes rested on the boy, analysing his words and actions, senjutsu chakra would start flowing internally and alter her perceptions sufficiently for her to perceive his aura on top of that what normal people would be noticing. His aura would reveal a bright colouring of yellows and white, betraying the presence of his raiton and fuuton affinity. Two elements. An unusually low amount compared to what she was used to see these days, so used to walk with the giants of the world that three and four elements had almost become the norm while in fact, she could only manipulate two herself. The most important aspect of such hidden information was mostly a strategic one rather than one of bragging rights.

"You're a smart one, nah, I don't expect you to do anything you don't wanna do. Also, while it's true you shouldn't follow strangers, but isn't also true you shouldn't attack a stranger's house?" Kisei shrugged at his retort, he didn't really care either way about what he said, well, expect for the stranger's house thing; though it was more important to contain the threat of another attack.

Kisei looked at the lady for a second before answering the question. "For your information, I happen to be a very prestigious member of the this fallen home of mine." The Ushinatta winked. He went with the neutral path, knowing that while that was true people would link him up with the crazier of the Leaf Village shinobi working here if he said anything suggesting a partnership with them. So yeah. It sucked to have been caught in another conflict, but thankfully Kisei served more in the capacity of supplies management and delivery dude because of his speed.

That and it wasn't a wuss who wasn't loaded with six types of deadly long range weaponry on his person at all times. Except for now, right not it was down to three. Back to the main topic however. They seem to have calmed down somewhat thankfully. Let's see if he can keep it that way.

“But anyways, if you don't wanna follow me. Why don't you lead us somewhere to sit at least. My knees aren't quite as they used to be.” He joked. It was a bad joke but they do say, the best weapon against aggression is humor. Cringe humor is even better. Who knows, maybe under that mask of rage there was a fellow jokester in hiding.

Ah, so that was it. The stranger before her had showed up because he believed this building wasn't hers. Technically, he wasn't wrong. The building didn't belong to her. On that matter, Laïs didn't have any sort of building belonging to her in name. But this building did fall under Ryujin territory and thus belonged to her mistress Orochi Risu. As the apprentice of aforementioned person, she merely made use of it as she saw fit until her mistress would indicate something to be off limits. The fact she had crashed part of the wall... That was the downside of being 'naturally attuned to senjutsu chakra', like so many others came to generalise the Jugo in quiet awe for their atunement. Unfortunately, they were not aware of the headache-invoking, rage-fuelling side effects of that senjutsu affinity.

Taking a glimpse backward at the damage she ha done, the Jugo was rather impressed about herself having put up such destruction with a single fist, but she guessed the boy before her had a point just as much. It still irked her that he thought himself to be in a position to berate her for her actions, and such she'd only frown in annoyance, the flicker of battle madness seemingly flaring up just lightly in the claret hue of her enlivened eyes. To add insult to injury, he'd claim himself to be a prestigious member of this fallen home. She couldn't say if he was jesting or being serious, throwing him a sceptical look instead.

"If this is your home, how come it remains empty of life as it does?", she'd try. If he was joking, the joke would practically have gone over her head as her foul mood didn't leave much room for silliness currently. If he was bluffing, she was calling his bluff to see what else he could come up with to wriggle himself out of her annoyance. And if he was serious... well, too bad for him it belonged to the Ryujin now.

Maybe unintended, but his ruse would be revealed as he asked her to lead her to a place where he could sit down. She'd fold her arms. She had other things to do at this point than wander around for his sore knees. She had training to do, and her mistress had urged her to improve upon her chakra control. Thinking about it, perhaps this meddling guy could serve as a punching bag.

"I'm afraid I have other matters to attend to than to guide the lost of this land", she'd reply to his suggestions to find another place. At the same time, her pallid skin would slowly turn into a slate grey as she allowed her Jugo nature to surface. The Beast Within would be as a panting dog eager to tear through the target it had barked at this entire time, her eyes now gaining its full claret colour rather than remaining as a flickering flame. "But since you're so attached to this home, perhaps you could stop me from tearing it down in full? I'd be fine venting my frustration on a living target rather than dull puppets for a change."

Her nails would grow into claws and sharpened talons would reveal themselves on her elbows. From the shoulders of the now blackened woman a dozen of senbon feathers would sprout, finishing the basic combat transformation of the Jugo Beast. Through the slate grey of her skin a shimmer of pearly white teeth with break into a smile, revealing the beginnings of the battle madness that was seeping into the girl's mind with every sentence the strange would utter in hopes to stop her. If he wanted her to cease, he'd better have the power to make her do so. Without any further hesitation, she'd run up to him with full combat intent backing every of her cells and ready to rake her sharpened claws across his body.

"Not sure. Might have something to do with with the repairs we have to run everywhere?" He shrugged witlessly. A slight smile hung on his face without reason, but behind it was building aggression. He didn't like where this conversation was heading nor was he exactly prepared for it. They didn't want to relax or go somewhere safe to release their pent up emotions, it was like dealing with a child's dilemma: There was something they wanted to do, but they didn't want to do it either. Sooner or later this would evolve into a tantrum, more realistically in this case a fight. Was he prepared? His updated weaponry held a fine edge but who knew what other tricks this lady had, Kisei would need to keep a careful eye on this one.

Though, with all the things happening around the encampments he wasn't able to work on improving anything else, so he was behind on combat training in terms of physical ability.  That didn't mean he wasn't going to give his best, but he wouldn't be able to guarantee anything-

He couldn't be certain but it resembled a certain clan he had read about before. Many clans and families practiced some art or form of berserk rage, but this transformation was  characteristic to only one that he knew of.

"But since you're so attached to this home, perhaps you could stop me from tearing it down in full? I'd be fine venting my frustration on a living target rather than dull puppets for a change."

Like that her entire appearance shifted into that of what could only be called demonic as she lunged forward with harmful intent. Kisei didn’t have time to deliberate whether she was intending to kill him so he went into the best option. Full battle mode. This should be an interesting day.

Taking advantage of the door he was next to he closed it shut as leaped backwards into the mostly deserted streets perhaps six or so meters from the door itself, alarming a few passerbys but he couldn’t worry about appearances right now. Snaking a free hand into the inside of his jacket pocket he whipped out his sealing scroll, still putting some distance between him and the door should he need to, wary for any attempts of the lady inside to continue her assault. Slamming it to the sandy ground as he crouched, it rolled open allowing him to unseal it’s contents. A puff of smoke appeared around him as he worked his technique, dissipating a moment later to reveal a massive skull of some sort. Large enough to cover his body while he crouched. He produced five strings from his left hand and attached it to his newest puppet, instantly activating it’s stealth option. Kisei wasn’t sure what other surprises this lady had and he was going to play the safe option for now. The difference in both their abilities didn’t seem too great save in a few areas, but he wouldn’t count this fight out of his favor just yet. For now, it was in his opponent’s court to serve the next move.

Before her claws could rake him, the stranger had moved back and shut the door before her. How rude. Not that it would stop her. Stomping through the door with fury, the door would splinter and fly out of its hinges, littering the street a meter further. The people who had previously stopped to watch Kisei would now feel a slight panic rise up as the inhumane looking woman revealed herself. They'd move away, leaving the battlefield to the two of them. Before her at some 5-6 meters away, she'd see Kisei roll open a scroll on the floor from which a puff of smoke would reveal a giant skull.

She'd look at it with mild curiosity. Not only because she hadn't seen many puppets walk the earth but mostly because she wondered how such a thing even moved without legs. She knew about kugutsu and the chakra strings, she knew puppets had a lot of hidden compartments and other shenanigans one would have to pay attention for and she knew they were quite durable. Between knowing and experiencing was still a big difference though, and since the puppet vanished from sight it meant she'd see little of its actual workings. Boring.

"Just for your information... Hiding won't do you much good."

A little push of her abilities. She wasn't actually sure if her sage abilities would pick up the puppet's hidden presence but she certainly would pick up that of the stranger no matter what. Even then, she had sufficient abilities to use or deal with stealth herself. Abilities most likely superior to anything he could bring up, considering she was the carrion crow sage. Abilities which would quickly turn this into a one-sided fight. That certitude established, Lais wanted to fight something that wasn't as dull as training dummies, her Jugo nature already excited by the thought of bloodshed. The boy was currently at an advantage in numbers. A little thing she'd have to change. Claws scraping over her hand as she seemingly formed a fist, her chakra would mingle with her DNA to create a single clone in her image. Nothing too special, perhaps, but the set-up of future plans if anything.

The two Lais' would watch Kisei for a moment, letting the thought of fighting two 'demons' sink in. The fight was about to begin. Each of them suddenly starting to run in a circle around him, opposing directions. One left, one right. Meaning he'd be forced to direct his puppet to one or the other, while dealing with the second Lais by himself. At some point, when they stood exactly opposite of each other, the two Lais would close the gap to strike Kisei. Knowing that one would have the surprise of dealing with the hidden puppet, it was a sacrifice they'd be willing to make in favour of giving the other the advantage of raking their vicious claws across his chest.

Kisei winced as the lady kicked the door down, more damage he would have to fix later. He for the moment was sufficiently stealthed underneath his puppet, it brought a bit of relief to the situation. But the way she kept eyeing his position... It was almost as if she knew exactly where he was. Could she have spotted him before he activated his stealth? It seemed unlikely, even if stealthed there was no guarantee that he was still in the same place. Was there something that allowed her to see him? Right now he was certain this lady was from the Jugo clan, behavior and ability pointed in that direction. Unfortunate for Kisei. Sadly his knowledge on that particular clan was incomplete, they weren't exactly reknown in the Sunagakure. Most to scared to use their powers to ever properly understand them. The most he knew was their affinity for Senjutsu and what Senjutsu could do, but the specifics were missing. 


Kisei bit the inside of his lip as he watched the Jugo clone come to life. He gripped his umbrella tighter. Then they split.


Both of the Jugo warriors started circling around him. His eyes barely able to trace their movements, adequate for the moment but they would not be able to keep up forever. Anticipating a multi-directional attack, or something to catch him off guard Kisei directed his puppet up; having it hover an inch or two off the ground before spinning rapidly. Almost as the eyes of the skeletal puppet were trying to keep track of the situation as well. Meanwhile Kisei whipped back and forth, keeping eyes on as many directions as possible, until they charged him. Kisei had just turned his head when he caught sight of one of the ladies at the edge of his fleeting vision before catching the opposite one. 


Using the internal chains of the puppet he commanded the teeth to pop out as the puppet itself spun itself in circles. Normally he would've pressed his attack, however right now he wasn't aware which one was real and which was fake. So until the real one was sorted he would have to play more defensively then usual. Kisei would watch carefully during the whole event to see how this would transpire, knowing the adaptive abilities of the Jugo, they would have something to deal with this. For now though as the chains expanded outward to strike his foes he would charge it with electricity to disable them if hit.

Twenty four invisible chains, of which one was infused of raiton. All of them invisible and soundless. Despite having sufficient prowess to deal with the relative slow pace, the multitude of chains would leave Laïs and her clone unable to properly dodge and dance through them. The clone would be flailed to non-existence without much ado and Laïs would find herself forced to substitute herself out of the assault. The chains would find themselves entangled around a rather large piece of ruined wall rather than the Jugo woman, who was now standing outside the area in safety, an annoyed scowl crossing her face. Whatever he had activated, she'd be forced to reveal its presence through the use of her own technique. As the occultist's sight was enhanced by nartural chakra, she could instantly see all the puppeteer's hidden secrets as her ability unearthed his chakra signature hiding in the compartment of the puppet, the chakra flow he was using for the string and the chains, as well as effortlessly pierce through the cloaking device as it was not fuelled by natural chakra. The twenty four flailing chains would be laid bare before her superior eyesight, the single chakra enhanced one running thick with the puppeteer's energy.

"You're puppeting a skull? I'll admit I like your puppet more than your approach in a fight. Twenty four chains, one of them raiton enhanced, and if the rumours are to be believed, I shouldn't be able to get through that sort of quality material. And here I was hoping to fight something that was not as boring as a training dummy...", she'd fold her arms, claret eyes assessing the situation for a little longer. Her chakra flow training was far from over so she was at a disadvantage in dealing with an object of that sort and her medical techniques would do little against an inanimate object. A pity, but it didn't look like she could do much against him in her current state.

"I guess I'll have to consider this your win so go ahead and restore your house. I'll make sure I'll have the means to crack open that skull of yours by the next time we meet, so make sure you have other tricks up your sleeve for when you find yourself without your floating bastion. So... Ta~ .", she'd blow him a kiss despite the fatigued, pallid face she bore and would almost instantly after vanish from sight as if she had been but a ghost taking on a physical form. Under the guise of her own stealth, the Jugo would move away from her selected training area to find something else to do. Perhaps she'd bother finding a different spot to train her chakra flow. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to perfection her undead techniques. She'd have to see what came up first.

Kisei felt a this and then a weightlessness through his strings. Must have been the clone he thought hopefully. Another thud, Kisei whipped his sights towards the tangled chains. He bit his lip. Finding the real body outside of his reach. Kisei with a flick of the wrist retracted his chains and the toothed tips back to their respective places on the jaws or the horns. Oriening the eyes of the puppet to stare down his opponent while he turned, slowly, to center the lady in the middle of his sight. 


"You're puppeting a skull? I'll admit I like your puppet more than your approach in a fight. Twenty four chains, one of them raiton enhanced, and if the rumours are to be believed, I shouldn't be able to get through that sort of quality material. And here I was hoping to fight something that was not as boring as a training dummy..."


Kisei shrugged at the insult(?)  While technically his jutsu should have charged the entire puppet he was still working on combining his skills in puppetry and jutsu, so imperfect results were expected. "I mean, there are better ways to get a proper fight than destroying buildings. Obviously." He retorted half heartedly. Kisei was aware of the incredible offense and defense his puppet afforded him, maybe his opponent wasn't as strong as he was expecting. Thank goodness if that was the case.




"I guess I'll have to consider this your win so go ahead and restore your house. I'll make sure I'll have the means to crack open that skull of yours by the next time we meet, so make sure you have other tricks up your sleeve for when you find yourself without your floating bastion. So... Ta~ ."


And with that his opponent would disappear from sight. Yet Kisei would not remove his puppet, not yet knowing whether or not his opponent was still lingering for an opportunity to attack. So he kept it up as he did a brief inspection of the structural damage cause by that lady, and taking some quick measurements of the door that was blasted off its hinges; he headed back to the encampment he was assigned to for the moment. 
Placing the massive puppet on the ground he channeled chakra into it, twisting it into motion like a wheel at he blasted off towards his temporary home. 


Now speeding along the sand dunes on a massive skull puppet with no reasonable means of movement was suspicious, so he kept the stealth feature on the whole time.


Yeah. He had an interesting time when he finally arrived back at home base.
