Autumn Event, Tuski Style

Takeshiyama and the purple haired man seemed to ignore the two kunoichi as they entered the scene, but thankfully Oda was kind enough to fill them both in. The two smiled and returned Oda's greeting, then walked on either side of him after they left the shop. The trio of Tsuki ninja followed the two Ronin toward the house as Oda explained the situation to them. Hana was quite skeptical however Hasumi found herself intrigued by the tale. The young raven haired girl pondered what made the lantern function, but was to afraid to actually want to test it out. She made sure not to get to close to the seemingly cursed object as the group walked through the streets, her blue eyes however remain fixed on it in fearful fascination.  

"Did it seem like some sort of Genjutsu, or is it some weird Fuinjutsu message... thing?" Hana inquired, her lack of knowledge into the art of chakra manipulation showing as she struggled to consider what sort of techniques could cause such a phenomenon. Despite her lack of understanding Hana was unbothered by the intel the other tsuki nin provided, she figured whatever it was couldn't be to dangerous if the shop keeper had come out of the situation alright. Illusions were certainly annoying to deal with but Hana figured she was tough enough to endure them, and if it was a message that just meant they were dealing with a weirdo.

As the group of shinobi arrived at the house Hasumi found herself shivering, the hair on the back of her neck stood up and goosebumps prickled along her arms. Hana was unaware of the negative energy that seemed to permeate from the building but Hasu found herself sensitive to it for some reason. "There's something wrong with that place." Was all the girl could muster as she stood outside the building with the others. The white haired Oni looked past Oda and at the young girl she'd been charged to protect after the girl made the remark, wondering what she was on about. After briefly looking at the frightened expression on Hasu's face the Oni bodyguard rolled her eyes, figuring the kid was just spooked and making things up.

The taller kunoichi turned back to look at the building and noticed that the purple haired guy was approaching the back door. She raised an eyebrow as he seemed to produce a crowbar from the trash, wondering if he really was just a common thief or if he was just doing a bit. The Oni crossed her arms and waited to see what happened, meanwhile Hasu only got more nervous.

The raven haired girl slightly flinched at the sound of the door being broken open, though things seemed fine at first. Hasumi continued to try and convince herself that nothing to crazy was going to happen, that the lantern was just some form of message like Hana had suggested. The young kunoichi wasn't sure if she could handle another dangerous mission, she had offered Oda assistance hoping it was just going to be resolving a dispute between two guests of the village.

Hana and Hasu couldn't see much of what happened as the purple haired man walked down into the basement, but they heard him yell and saw the strange green glow that seemed to emanate from the doorway for a moment before spreading into the rest of the house. Hasu took a deep breath as she watched the house seem to come to life, wondering if whatever was inside was going to come out and attack them for trespassing. She slowly brought her hands together, ready to do so some hand seals if she needed to escape quickly. Hana on the other hand stood frozen, the only noticeable movement she made as the green light appeared and took the form of the rat was her arms dropping from their crossed position to hanging limply at her sides. She did her best to keep a stoic expression as she witnessed the supernatural event, but the façade fell and was replaced by wide eyes as another larger display of supernatural light suddenly overtook the property.

The two kunoichi watched the large rat silently as it told it's story to the group, both quite unknowledgeable in necromancy. Neither of the girls had a clue as to how to free the spirits trapped within the house, or if it would be safe to go inside and make an attempt. As the spectral display faded away and vanished the two remained still, unsure as to what to do. The Wounded Oni brought the two back to reality when he addressed them, commanding them to gather supplies for what they guessed would be an exorcism. Hasu was quicker to respond, turning to the Oni and giving him a nod as she refocused onto the task at hand. Hana on the other hand took a moment, her brow furrowing as she tried to understand just what had happened and why the other Oni suddenly needed salt.

As the two were about to turn back to the market Oda addressed them, informing them that he was heading into the building as well. Hana was slightly taken aback by the Genin's bravery, but smiled and gave him a nod before turning and heading toward the market.

Hasu's eyes looked at Oda with concern as she glanced between him and the building, "Be careful, alright? Me and Hana will try and return as quick as we can!"

With that the girl turned and ran toward the market, though she wasn't fast at all. As she passed Hana the white haired Oni took up a jog and kept pace with her as they headed to the market. Hasu ended up getting several sacks full of salt that she made Hana carry as she went through the market buying up a bunch of charms as well. By the end of it Hasu's arms were laden with all sorts of vaguely religious jewelry and trinkets. As her and Hanan headed back to the property they even had a priest in tow, or at the very least a man who claimed to be one. The man had heard Hasu talking to shop merchants as she had gone through and bought just about everything and had offered his services.

The two kunoichi and the priest hurried back to the building at the priests pace, hoping they made it back before anything to crazy happened to the shinobi who had stayed behind. Upon arriving the 3 of them would look around and try to find the others outside before heading within the building to look for them. Upon spotting Takeshiyama they'd present the sacks of salt and assortment of charms.

"We also grabbed a priest, figured it wouldn't hurt."
