Causing Chaos!(mission, cyph, pino, Dana, Ichi)

It appeared the young woman going by the name of Dana couldn't wait to spring into action, a smile on her face as she almost became ecstatic from finding out they could do some damage to the place. After all, the letter didn't mention anything about how they had to stop the poison and presents .. "Alright love, show us what you got" Sebastian said in response to the kunoichi expressing getting rid of the building would be no problem. With her remarkable accent and interesting way of speaking the female shinobi warned the rest of them, implying it was about time she made her move as both hands were being put together as a means to form a couple of hand seals.

Before the kunoichi activated any technique she would call out to those still inside the building, warning them it was in their best interest to come out unless they wanted to get buried underneath. "Ha, look at those ears" the berserker shouted as he witnessed multiple elves leaving the place, surprised and in awe of the view. "I never expected the day I'd see creatures like this" the young Tau spoke under his breath only for those close to him to hear. Coming to Moon Country had already been worth it, although the temperature could have been much better those elves would make up for it plenty. With his nickname of Ogre, given to him by Souji, it would've been funny if he saw one of those coming out as well, it would give Seb another story to tell back home.

Now that everyone seemed to have left the building and Dana's countdown ended it was time for the woman to finish her set of hand seals and activate the technique she had in mind to bring complete and utter destruction to the place. After picking a point of origin the kunoichi's jutsu started to appear in the middle of the shop before it quickly expanded, causing the place to collapse as a result of her actions. Sebastian recognized the technique which had been used as one he possessed as well, Swamp of the Underworld. Very effective when dealing with situations like the ones their group was in, that much had been proven. "Well done", with a smirk on his face the former mercenary looked around, noticing Dana already transformed whatever was left into a forest.

By then the most talkative out of the bunch had taken the word, suggesting they moved on to the next task at hand. For some reason the boy decided to strike a conversation with Sebastian, talking about his martial arts mentioned earlier. "Ah yes, Kirigakure. Haven't been there before" the Tau simply replied, wondering if everyone else were the strange ones or if they thought the same about him. Anywho, assuming no one disagreed with Pino then the group would be headed to their next destination in order to complete the second task, a shop where toys with bombs were made. "I guess we have to avoid it becomes an explosive sale" the berserker voiced out loud.

In the meantime, as they were making their way over, the talkative boy had begun explaining a handful of techniques to the girl named Aki, sharing his knowledge with the young female. First up would be the Twin Rising Dragons, showing her the required hand seals as he continued the explanation, making sure she was able to see everything. Once that one was out of the way a blue light appeared, a sign the second jutsu was being covered and from what he could hear that one would be named Samurai Sabre. "Sounds like something I'd get at the snack bar" Sebastian said aloud. After a couple of minutes they finally arrived at the shop, Aki the first to speak up. "I suppose we could, it worked the first time". For now the Tau would simply wait for them to reach an agreement on how to proceed and handle the situation at hand. 

(WC: 668, TWC: 1391)

"Just wait till ye see all the animals we have around Kirigakure," Dana said in response to Sebastian's amusement at the small elves, "I heard the Mizkukage has a penguin for a butler." This was, of course, completely being made up on the spot by Kirigakure's second crazy Senju. She had no clue if Murata even had a butler, but if she did, then it'd definitely be a penguin. Or maybe even one of those super-monkeys she had seen running around the village. Damn, Kirigakure really was the coolest village; where else would you find hyper-intelligent monkeys?

Regardless, Dana would skip along behind the group humming silently, pale green eyes scanning the environment and taking as much as possible in. This 'Moon Country' truly looked quite beautiful, and in a rare moment, Dana was content to simply remain silent and observe. Well, disregarding the massive potentially fatal demolition job she just did; that was just normal Dana stuff, nothing particularly noteworthy. She did, however, continue to listen to Pinochio blabber on about all the techniques in his arsenal to the other Kirigakure kunoichi who Dana had never met before. In case she actually remembered all of it this time, Dana made a mental note to go meet the girl and hang out sometime. The big guy who didn't seem to be from Kirigakure- judging from his comments - was pretty cool also. Dana would definitely try to seek him out later.

The group soon arrived at the next mission location and began to discuss what to do next. Again, Dana decided to act out of character and she simply shrugged, "I'm always up for destroying buildings but if any of ye want a shot at it I won't mind." She said excitedly. Part of it was that Dana was somewhat curious as to the abilities of her companions. She knew Pinochio was monstrously strong and fast from that time when he'd hit her a billion times in that one spar, but Aki and Sebastian were complete unknowns to her.

"They're just so short am I right cool new friend?! Imagine being as short as these shorty short short people." Have you ever seen when a teenager is trying way too hard to look cool around one of their friends but it just comes out really sad and awkward? If yes, then you understand the position poor pinochio was in. He tried his best to stand clear of where the elves were running out, hopping up on a bench that was conveniently placed to make him seem definitely taller than the small people who would normally match him toe to toe. 

"Please feel free to come visit some time. I'm sure we'd love to have you! Great village honestly. The mizukage is so nice from what i've seen. Theres some wierdos like. dancing and singing but you can totally just avoid them. OTher than that, plenty of strong shinobi." It took him a while to actually pick up the convorsation with Seb. They needed to move quickly with the first target taken care of. When they finally approached the shop, Pino put his game face on, adressing the group again. 

"Alright. Get ready team! WE gotta basically just repeat the same ole same ole. Aki. See if you can get glass shard swing to work on this one okay? I want you to enhance it with one of the two techniques I showed you and if anyone comes out that door blast em good and propper. now. uh. " Had he really not gotten their teammates name?! Play it cool Pino. YOu got this. "Uh I didn't get your name BUT if you have anything big, would you like to take lead on the demo this time? Dana, Do what you do best of course. New guy... show us what you got!" She set up just to Aki's left, outside of the reach of where her technique would hit. He didn't want to get hit by that shit. Bump that. 

As destruction would start raining in, Of course plenty of elves carrying boxes would rush out of the two entrances. Looping around, Pino would cover the back as Aki took care of the right. Forming seals as he expected his young pupil to, He prepared his temple style: discovery of an incomplete truth, and just as the line of rushing elves reached the ten meter mark he thrust his weapon forward. 

A flash of blade tips glowed across the square area where his Kachu tenshin amaguriken formed. A wall of solid physical energy rushed foward, engulfing the mass in an enormous box of get fucked. As he stood, watching the chaos, the sounds of screams quiety but the flashing of weapons within the box never ceased. He knew any who decided to take this exit were paralyzed by the power of the anything goes style's strongest technique. There would be no evil bomb elves left to rebuild this time. 

"Keep it up team. Lets leave nothing left behind! We're saving the world today!"

(TWC 1821 first and second mission done, 429 left for final mission! )

Aki pokes her head into the conversation with Seb as Pino mentions something that sounds suspiciously similar to Saya's group. "You should at least check them out first, don't avoid something before you try it and all!" She picks up her pace to match the rest of the group, having been slowed down by passing through mounds of snow that from a much shorter height would have been decently sized snowmen. "I liked them anyways."

She jumps over the last tattered remnants of the small snowman family as they reach their destination. "I'll try my best! Just, don't expect anything amazing, this is probably my first run with it and all." She felt that saying that made her a disappointment already. She swallowed that thought as quickly as it came, not now.

Aki imbibes deeply of the winter air. She listens closely to her own breath as its rhythm errs closer to the rhythm of her heartbeat. Focus Aki, lets get this done. She pushes down her instinctual irritation at the blaring of alarms, resists flinching as a chunk of something heavy lands just a few meters from her,  then she unsheathes and moves her blade in one swift motion as the patter of footsteps rises to a fever pitch.

'Slash so hard and fast that you seem to break the air and shards of air pressure shoot towards a target.' She kept Pino's instructions at the front of her mind as she made her move, and hey it worked pretty well. There was a whistling in the wind as shards of air her eyes were closed to hit their targets. It was probably most of them judging by the odd squelches and gurgling she heard once her blade completed her arc. As she opened her eyes slowly more of Pino's words rushed back to her, 'I want you to enhance it with one of the two techniques I showed you'. Shit she entirely forgot.

Aki sheathed her sword again and threw a handful of blades in the direction where the door had previously stood. That'd probably deal with stragglers.

Sebastian's eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing about the Mizukage's butler. "A penguin?". Rubbing the palm of his hands together he couldn't wait to get home and look for a strange creature himself, his own mysterious companion. If anything, perhaps it could help the young Berserker deal with his loneliness. And who knows, maybe it would even improve his lack of social skills, the awkward being that he was. He could already imagine the looks on people's faces if they'd see him walk around with something as a sloth, bear or even a red panda. However, for now he still had the three missions to focus on.

As they continued making their way to the next location so did the conversation between Seb and Pinochio, the latter hopping on a bench as not to get lost between the elves. "Yes, yes. Very short. Now try not to get mistaken for one of them" the Tau voiced as he motioned the Kirigakure shinobi to keep walking. By then the boy had brought up his village once more, claiming it to be full of strong people but also ones who spent their time singing and dancing. "And where do you fit in?", it wouldn't surprise him all that much if his companion suddenly decided to put on a performance as their group tried to find the next destination. 

When they finally arrived at their intended location it was basically the same as before, almost a repetition of what happened earlier. The young shinobi took the word again, explaining and encouraging Aki to demonstrate what she had learned during their walk, making mention of the Glass Shard Swing which then could be enhanced by one of the other two techniques that were shown to her. "Fine, I'll do something as well" the former mercenary replied, forming a couple hand seals before transforming a small portion of the ground into mud which then rapidly expanded and took on the appearance of a river completely made out of earth. "Can't have anyone get away, can we?". With a smirk on his face Sebastian proceeded with the following course of action.

Forming another set of seals and using the previous technique as a source for the next, the young Berserker created an earthen construct in the shape of a dragon's head with an open mouth out of the existing mud. A total of ten projectiles would then be fired off, all headed into the same direction where upon hitting their mark a devastating impact took place. Multiple elves came running out, Pino covering the back while Aki took care of the right. The moment the Kirigakure shinobi had a clear line of view he'd thrust his weapon forward, aimed at the moving targets trying to get to safety. Something akin to a wall of energy made its way to the elves, effectively paralyzing each and every single one of them.

Last but not least it was Aki's turn to demonstrate everything she had learned up til now, the kunoichi unsheathing and swiftly moving her blade as multiple shards of wind were created due to the girl's rapid slashing. "Hm, good job" the berserker complimented her as he witnessed her technique successfully hitting its targets. "Alright, lead the way little boss" Sebastian voiced, implying Pino could take them to their next and final destination.

(WC: 557, TWC: 1948)

Dana snorted loudly and then brought a hand up to cover the smile blossoming on her face at the sight of Pinochio hopping on a bench and the subsequent comment from the new guy. Even here, in a totally different country among totally different people, it appeared that being Pinochio was still suffering. One day the poor little guy would catch a break, but that day was not today. As they walked, Dana fell into step beside Pinochio and patted his shoulder consolidating. Hopefully, he wouldn't let it all get it down. He disliked Dana patting his head - to the point of savagely trying to attack her every time she did it - so Dana couldn't help but wonder if giving him a shoulder pat would have the same effect. Either way, it wasn't like a couple million punches were much to her anymore. She could probably just tank them with that damage reduction shield, or heal all the damage afterward.

Once they were at the mission location and Dana had stated she'd sit back for this one, watching her team do such a tremendous job of destroying the building was almost enough to bring a tear to her green eyes. There was just something about mindless destruction of large objects that really brought out the Senju's sensitive side. Despite her saying she was going to stay out of it and let the others have a shot at destroying it all, Dana couldn't help herself and she ended up doing the handseals Tiger - Ox - Monkey - Rabbit - Ram - Dragon. What followed was a big cylinder of water spraying out from her mouth and leaving a large gap in the building, after everyone else had had their shot at destroying it. This was the best mission ever! They got to destroy stuff, and they were technically saving the world whilst doing it. They really were the noblest of heroes.

"You guys are doing awesome," Dana nodded, taking in the destruction one last time. She turned to the new guy, suddenly realizing something. "Oi, big scary new guy, what's yer name?" She stepped forward and offered a hand - they had yet to be properly introduced despite already destroying a few buildings together, "I'm Dana Senju, Chunin on Kirigakure. A pleasure to make yer acquaintance."

After, assumedly, introductions were done Dana would skip over to Aki and offer a handshake. Whether or not they both accepted, Dana would then turn towards Pinochio and await instructions on where to go next. To be honest, Dana hadn't even read the mission briefs that much. She'd given them a cursory glance when she got teleported, but that was it. Pinochio - or 'little boss' as the other guy had called him - seemed to be at the top of his game when it came to leading a team.

Everything was working like clockwork. They'd completed the first two missions, and now they simply needed to get the star that was supposedly hypnotizing a whole bunch of ninja! 

"Right. So now... See that big tree down the way? THe one in the center of the village? We gotta get the star from the top of it. I'm honestly not sure how to do that. If anyone has any ideas let me know. The diety is supposedly going to be with us for this one though. I think the scross said something about sneaking up to the tree and getting the star to give to whatever her name is. If we get caught we have to do it without her help. Worst case, We can take a more creative approach to stealth. Dana, person who has decided not to give me his name yet, and I can take on hordes of shinobi while Aki sneaks up the tree and gets the star to whatever her name is. Please though. If anyone has a better plan let me know, I'm one hundred percent all ears." He thought back to the dream mission months ago. How had they handled all the stealth required with the cultists? The best he could remember, the super cool shark girl and like. walked up and after a few minutes said the problem was solved. Heck she was cool, shame she was just a dream. 

"So. Another technique I can teach ya kid is called the earthshaker. You slam your weapon into the ground, causing a huge earthquake. Super helpful. " He wracked his brain. Maybe he might have to take a follower role here. He just wasn't sneaky yanno? 

(TWC 2103/2250 for mission completion)

Her heart is racing. It was like flipping a switch and her calm breathing was replaced by a tempest straining against the walls of her body. This was different from simply witnessing the act of destruction like earlier, or reading about it in a text. This was direct participation in something worthy of note, and Aki felt so much more alive at the thought. "That was fun. Oh, erm, thanks! She gives the berserker - Seb was it? - an awkward thumbs up as a sign of appreciation.

She shakes Dana's hand when its offered to her. She hopes her hands aren't sweaty or clammy or rubbery or anything bad, that would be bad and then Dana would hate her forever. Maybe. "Hiya, I'm Aki! Also from Kiri actually, though I'm only a Genin. Nice to meet you." Her head dips forward in a nervous bow after the handshake before she turns back to Pino.

"Wait are we sure stealth'll work now? We haven't been that subtle y'know, I feel like we're attracting attention." She gestures in the vague direction of the factory, which seems to be burning now. The cookie shop or the forest where it once stood also peeks out above the streets. "I can still try of course, but direct sneaking feels like a bad idea."

Once his part of the destruction was finished Sebastian noticed as the kunoichi with the strange accent approached him and stretched out her hand. "I didn't bring any money" was his initial response before realizing she'd merely be looking for a hand shake, another sign of the young Berserker's lack of social skills. He listened as the woman introduced herself to be Dana Senju, another Kirigakure shinobi. Accepting the hand shake the Tau then followed her example as he replied. "Sebastian Mikaelson, Chuunin of Sunagakure". It appeared he would be the lone wolf yet again, the only foreigner surrounded by those of the Mist.

The third and final mission required them to retrieve the star which was stuck atop of a tree not that far from their current location. Pino suggested they'd use stealth in order to deal with the task, something Aki wasn't all too sure about. "Be right back" the berserker voiced before sinking in the earth beneath him. Through the use of Hiding Like a Mole, a technique he activated after forming the required hand seals, Seb was allowed to burrouw and travel through the ground, making his way to the tree as he moved unnoticed. It would only be a matter of seconds until the Tau finally arrived at his intended destination.

Once there, he proceeded his actions by coming up again, revealing himself but making sure no one picked up on his presence. Forming another set of hand seals he then infused his chakra into the ground, effectively lowering the terrain and the tree with it. When it reached a certain height Sebastian simply grabbed the star before raising the platform again, making it look as if nothing happened. The former mercenary then repeated one of his previous actions as he returned and joined the others at their position. "Here, catch" he spoke, throwing the star at Pino hoping the little boss was able to catch it without any issue.

In the meantime it seemed Pinochio continued teaching Aki a couple of techniques, hoping the young girl would successfully grasp them. With all three tasks as good as completed the only thing left for Sebastian was to wait until they were teleported back to their village again.

"It's nice to meet ye too," Dana said with a pleasant smile towards Aki, returning the bow. The Kirigakure genin seemed a little bit nervous, so Dana squeezed her hand gently during the handshake. Dana wasn't very good at being comforting, but she hoped it was enough to put the girl slightly more at ease. She was a Chunin now, and thus had to be responsible for those of lower thank than her or something. Dana knew frightfully little about what her responsibilities now entailed. Was she supposed to be mean towards Genin, to ensure they developed thicker skin? Dana wasn't sure, but she did know that her friends wouldn't be very happy if she started insulting everyone all the time - though it would be pretty amusing.

"Sunagakure... That's, like, the place with lots of sand, isn't it? I'm personally not a fan. It's coarse, rough, and always gets in my eyes. I don't know how ye deal with all that." Dana rambled on, happy to make a new acquaintance from someone so far away. Dana wasn't exactly the best at geography - or any subject, really - but even she knew it was quite a walk to visit the Wind Country. Hold on, did it really count as making a new friend, if they were so far away? Maybe they could send letters or something, though Dana wasn't entirely sure how that worked. Did shinobi villages audit any mail that was sent? It would only make sense, considering there were shinobi capable of transcribing massive explosions into mere ink. Wait, where was Dana again?

The white-haired Senju blinked and allowed herself to return to reality once again, taking in view of her team. Okay, they needed a plan. Dana was excellent at making plans that always worked, just ask... Wait, had she ever planned anything in her entire life? Huh, it was true. Dana took the saying 'live in the moment' to a whole different level. She barely even planned what she'd eat for the day. Like, tonight, Dana had no idea what she wanted. Maybe a potato? Potatoes were great when she could get her hands on them. You can boil them, mash them, roast them, cut them up and bake them into wedges, fry them in oil to make some really nice chips. Damn, potatoes really were great. Last Dana checked you could even grow multiple potatoes... From a potato. It was pretty great, the best food. It was decided, then, potato for dinner. Did Yuri even have any in any of her cupboards? Dana wasn't sure, but she was willing to go shopping if meant a nice starchy meal.

Dana blinked once again, having blanked out for several seconds. What did she need? Oh yeah, a plan for how to steal the star.

"Okay team, here's what we do: I create a stage over there and Pinochio and I can do a big distracting spar or something. Meanwhile, Sebastian sneaks around the rest of the crowd pretending to sell flowers to steal the attention of any people who aren't interested in the fight. Once that's over, Aki, ye can go grab the star! This is a perfect flawless plan, what do ye guys thin-" Dana finally looked up, having been drawing a stick-figure plan in the dirt with her finger. Despite its simplicity, it displayed a level of artistry that was unbecoming of its physical medium - Dana possessed an unusual knack for art after all.

Anyway, it seemed that, throughout her entire description of the plan, Sebastian had already gone and gotten the star. Wow, that was so rude! Completely ignoring her plan! Well, it was a good thing that Sebastian's home was so far cause Dana would've given him a healthy dose of silent treatment if that wasn't the case.

"Oh, well, looks like we did it. Go, team!" Dana celebrated, grinning happily and getting up off the ground. She dusted her hands off on her shorts and looked around, "Now what?"
