Bells chiming in a light summer breeze during the morning sunrise, filtered into his ears, bringing a small smile across his otherwise stoic face, lone eye twinkling with hidden merit and head lolling to the right, looking at the form of Iyata who was chuckling at his previous statement. Like a rise furnace, a soothing and welcoming heat bubbled up from the pit of his stomach, and wash over his body, bringing him with a sense of joy and happiness. The reasons for the strong emotions being because of the woman beside him. Nanashi has always prized himself in figuring out individuals through their body language alone, a byproduct from being a Geisha. And it was because of such a skill that he had noticed that during their previous mission that she had seen to be distracted by something or another, her eyes had a distant look within them and the vibe that she gave off wasn't the one he was accustom to, it was hard to explain, it just felt wrong. There were other warning flags that he has noted throughout that mission but those that were mention were the more prominent ones. He would have brought the subject up to her while doing the mission, but at the given time it would have been inappropriate to do so. He would have brought it up to her after the mission but again the fact that she didn't seem to want to talk about it talked him from doing so. Whatever was distracting her was her own problems, her own personal demons which she would have to slay, they weren't his and thus he didn't feel like asking. Of course he would have offered an ear or two if the woman did want to talk about it, but apparently she did not. It didn't concern him that much for the silver haired man would have asked her after they had finished the missions, upon arriving back to the barracks, anyway. But thankfully something like that wouldn't be needed for whatever was eating her up had apparently vanished and she was back to her normal self, something that he was glad about.
Oh you care now, since when?
Nanashi tried to annoyed the disembodied voice that lurked within the deepest cesspools of his subconscious, but it seem like the voice wouldn't have anything of that.
You know you don't care. You are a sociopath, you lack human emotions.
That wasn't exactly true. Yes, he was a sociopath, something that he had accepted along time ago. That didn't mean that empathy wasn't possible for the man, for in fact it was highly possible. As evident by his mother who Nanashi took a lot after, he was able to experience a wide range of emotions like any other human does. While they might not be as strong as others, they were still there, which was the only thing that matter in the end. He could feel. He could cry. And he could be angry. He was not emotionless. . .
Hmpf. . . You and your emotions, why not strip them away?
Was the question really needed to be asked? The moment that he stripped away his emotions in the moment that he will become nothing but a monster, needing to be put down. The only times that Nanashi allowed such things to occur is doing missions, and in this case doing the war. Those were the only times that he ever allow himself to immerse into the darkness. Then again it was something every shinobi did, and while many got lost within the blood they spill, he did not. He knew exactly how far he could go before he became nothing but a feral monster. Nothing but a beast that days were numbered.
So is that why you joke with her?
Yes, that's exactly why Nanashi tried his best to joke with Iyata or anyone he is teamed up with for that matter, not only to give them some normalcy but also to bringing him back from the darkness when he overstayed his visited. Luckily for him he has never been to far gone as of yet, and the few times where he was also there, he had Iyata to unknowingly bring him back. The Aisu woman was someone who he can count on to bring him back when he wanted to become the beast and rip everything in his path to shreds. Of course he would never admit this to the woman beside him, not because of fear, but because he knew that she already knew about it. That's if she had paid any attention to the one time he gave a small motivation speech to a small platoon of Anbu on the rooftops during one of their missions.
Hmpf. . .whatever.
Nanashi couldn't help but to mentally chuckle at the being retreating to the deeper pits of his mind. That was a first for him, the leader of the bestial humanoids that plagued his dreams talking to him. That never happen before, and despite that it didn't bother him the slightest. There were other pressing matters at the time.
Doing the sprinting towards their next location, Nanashi had allowed Iyata to take the lead, she having a better understanding of Kirigakure no Sato than he did. The idea in doing so was something that he had planned from the beginning, for what a better way in getting to a location than by having a native take him there? Launching from one branch to another, Nanashi head lolled from side to side, eye scanning for any potential signs of an ambush that becomes an increasing concern the closer they got to the location. The high ground, in the world of a shinobi one should always travel in trees when possible, not only does it allow them to get a drop on other shinobi – they not having a tendency to look up – but also allowed them to bypassed in tripwires on the ground alone with given them a bird's eye view of the place. Of course this isn't always true, there have been a few times were enemy shinobi had rigged tripwires within the trees in a given radius, catching those who aren't expecting it off guard, and it was theses that Nanashi was looking out for as they entered a darker part of the forest.
The burnt and scorched trees in the surrounding area was a dead give away to the fighting that either had come through the area or was continuing a little bit further ahead. It was than that the sounds of chaos ranged within his ear like a music symphony which made him realize that the battle was still ongoing just ahead of them, and with a slight turn of his head in the direction he took noticed of it for himself. The sheer, utter chaos of shinobi both enemy and ally a like flinging incredible jutsus and weapons at each other, lighting up the surround air with explosions of various magnitudes was beautiful to say the least. Nanashi watched impassively as bodies both intact and not hit the ground, providing the thirsty and hungry earth with much needed food. And it seem like he wasn't the only one who were taking in the chaos that was assuring ahead of him. . .
Looking at his female partner, Nanashi watched as she touched down on the outskirts of the chaotic battle, nodding back at her as their eyes locked onto hers “Good Luck.” The words were barely a whisper, and it would probably be drowned out by the noise that surrounded them, but nevertheless he said it anyway. Maybe she would hear him anyway.
There's movement!
The sound of leaves rustling caught his attention, as he spied a pair of long rang puppeteers perched not that far from his position, their puppets armed with what looked to be senbon launchers, aimed at Aisu woman who was heading to assistant a barrier team. Oh hell no! Acting quickly Nanashi summoned five inched chakra senbons before letting them rip through the air, they piercing the side of the each puppeteer skull, a small spray of blood oozing out of the wound, bodies falling from the branches and neck breaking upon impact with the unforgiven ground.
Jumping down from the tree that he was stationed in, Nanashi founded himself surrounded by three enemy shinobi who had just now taken noticed of him and were preparing to launch their respective jutsus. He wouldn't give them the chance to do so, katon chakra began to pour out of his body taking on the all familiar form of three flaming cats, which wasted no time in attacking the three shinobi, latching onto them before exploding, the last thing being heard was their signature 'meow'. Nanashi looked from behind a tree, that he had stationed himself behind upon forming the cats, at the scorching corpse of the three which attacked him.
"Three down, more to go. . “ He mused to himself, walking further into the assuring chaos, before taken notice of a group of injured allied shinobi that were being advanced up by a small platoon of enemy shinobi. He wouldn't make it in time to act like a buffer between them, and it would be counter productive to do so. Instead the man began going through a set of hand signs, his silver hair getting increasingly longer before harden, his technique was released with a simple whip of his head, hundreds upon hundreds of hair senbon flew towards the advancing shinobi, riddling them all into nothing but a pin-cushion. There wasn't any time for them to escape, for no sooner at the first one fell it was already to late. Their bodies would have more holes than a sponge and death was a given.
The sudden massacre of the advancing shinobi caused the injured shinobis to look in the direction of where the jutsu came from. Nanashi began making his way over towards the small group, they automatically relaxing when they saw who it was “Is there a medic within this group?” He asked, receiving a nod from one of the members.
“Yes, I'm a medic. But I'm to hurt to heal the others.” Nodding at the man's words, he kneel beside the downed man, summoning a red senbon “I'm a medic as well. What I'm going to do is heal your wounds and help you with healing the others as well. Okay?” not waiting for the man to answer he plunged the senbon into the wound, getting a small whimper from the individual which soon changed to a sigh as the effect of the needled took over. Being a Guanyin, Nanashi had a lot of different usage for senbons, the most prominent being able to heal others with them when needed, and that's exactly what he doing for medic. the healing itself didn't take that long and within a minute or so the man was back at full health.
“Thank you for helping.”
“There's no need for that. Lets just finish healing up the rest.” Nanashi stated, and thus the two medics began tending to the injured, another barrier team having arrived to their location and erecting one around them as they focused on the injured. Roughly twenty minutes later, the barrier fell from around the group allowing Nanashi to emerge from it, with the once injured group following him.
“Well I need to find my partner and make sure she didn't get into any trouble.” He said with a chuckle before heading to the direction of where he last saw Iyata.
Appearing beside the Aisu woman, Nanashi couldn't help but to whistle in approval of the chaos that she has caused “Damn. I think I'm in love.” He said with a chuckle. Looking around he noted that there was still another but small group of advancing shinobi that were heading towards their direction “How about – “
“Void! Void! Come in! We need you and Iyata to come to – “ Whatever else would have been said on the communication system was cut off, as static overtook the system.
“Fuck! Iyata. We have a problem. Got a message from the sector leader about needing us somewhere else, but before he could tell me where we are needed, the communication device went dead. And there was sounds of battle in the background. We need to head to that section and figure out what is going on.” He said looking around at the numerous of ally shinobi that were flooding into the area, taking note of a Iwa Shinobi with a rhino?
“We are no longer needed here. They can handle the rest on their on. But we need to get to that place now!” He said, before sprinting through the forest, with Iyata beside him, the pair heading towards the location of the building that housed the sector leader.

Name: Needle Hell
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: A +1
Type: Offensive
Element: N/A
Range: 35m Long/ 50 degree cone (at max)
Specialty: Ninjutsu(A-Rank)/Medical(B-rank)
Duration: 1-3
Cooldown: 5
Description:
(Requires B rank medical for hair growth, without it, this can only be used once per thread.)
This technique essentially hardens the hair on the user's head and shoots it continuously at the enemy until the user is temporarily bald at 10 needles per square foot per round and at an an 50 degree angle at 80mp/s. At the same time that the user kneads the chakra needed for the jutsu and firing their hair as needles, they activate and repair their own hair roots with medical energy causing the hair to grow at an accelerated rate, thus making repeated use possible without balding for long periods of time, once the cool down is complete, the user's hair has regrown to its full length! The sharpened points of the hair can turn the target's entire body into a pincushion with 6" needles, penetrating to the centre of bone, or 5" deep, potentially pinning the victim to whatever surface they're near. The major Danger for the victim however, is the sheer speed of the technique as well as having a large, adjustable hit diameter.
