KONOHA FINAL DAY

[ino]

[Today's the day! The time for battle has arrived. Hopefully you got a little sleep last night at some point, because you're going to need your energy.

Everyone's got some important jobs to do to keep everyone alive, so let's get to work! And try to ignore the rain, it's just sprinkling a little bit. No big deal!]

VALLEY OF THE END

[ino]

[Hope all of you fighters are ready to roll. You've had time to gather what weapons you can find -- and luckily, there's a lot of sharp pointy things and exploding tags to be had -- and Intelligence has informed you before you moved out that these soldiers are capable of what's known as the "Mayfly" technique. This means the soldiers are capable of merging their body with the ground and flora to travel distances without being spotted. Keep your eyes open!

It looks like they're going to be pretty obvious about appearing at the Valley, though, lining the cliffs surrounding the Valley with all ten thousand soldiers. Whoever is leading them is nowhere to be seen, for now, but you miiiight want to get ready to fight for your life.]

[Since I'll be NPCing all of the enemy soldiers, PLEASE LET ME KNOW SOMEWHERE IN YOUR COMMENT IF YOU ARE OPTING IN TO THE GENJUTSU/ILLUSION, AND WHO THEY WILL BE SEEING! Thank youuuu ♥]

[wilder]

[Zelos is there, and looking on this sight he has one very astute thing to say about their entire situation as he gets ready for the fight]

Wow. I get it now.

These guys must hate us cause we're prettier. [a tsk tsk sound]

[fistfullofmagic]

[Dhaos can't help but give the redhead a look that says he's either questioning his sanity or thinks that was a particularly dumb thing to say. Either way, he doesn't verbally comment.]

[heal_theworld]

[Martel, standing nearby, actually snorts at that and looks over.] I don't know, it actually reminds me of home. [Ugly zombie monsters from home, at least.]

[cheerupemoborg]

[Hank had stayed back at intelligence long enough to get a gander of the sample of flesh that was brought in, but despite his instincts telling him to do science to it, he'd decided to head out to the front lines instead.]

Goodness. Look at all the cannon fodder.

ooc: Hank will be seeing his wife, Terri!

[konohafy]

[Cannon fodder indeed! But as the soldiers begin to rush down into the Valley to attack, he might notice something is off. One of those soldiers is looking awfully familiar -- a woman with dark hair, with a dull look in her eyes as she races down towards where Hank is standing.]

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

[Now that Rapunzel is faced with imminent battle, she's feeling a lot less uncertain. I just don't have a proper icon. She knows she can do this... For the most part. Oddly enough, as far as weapons go, she's opted for a...

Frying pan.]

(ooc| GENJUTSU/ILLUSION PLEASE. She'll be seeing her mother.)

[konohafy]

[Looking sassy, Rapunzel! But there is one amongst the crowd of soldiers that can take that sass and stomp it into the ground, and that is a woman with dark curly hair and a red robe. She seems to pause as the other soldiers race by her, looking Rapunzel in the eye.]

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine stands ready, armed to the teeth with not only ninja weapons but also spells (or their ninja equivalent). She's feeling pretty confident, despite the overwhelming odds.]

((Genjutsu obviously. She'll see her mother, and maybe her sister Nita later.))

[konohafy]

[Good, you're going to need that confidence, Dairine! The soldiers all look pretty gross and inconspicuous, but there is a tall, red-haired woman among them that sticks out like a sore thumb. She doesn't even seem to notice Dairine, she just follows the other soldiers as they spill into the Valley]

[not_mafia]

[And Tsuna is in hyper will form, floating a few feet in the air with the aid of his flames. They might be able to travel through the ground, but that won't be of much use if their target is airborne. He regards the opposition coolly and waits for their first strike.]

(ALL THE GENJUTSU. He'll be seeing this ridiculously optimistic and easy-going guy or/and this guy who admires him like crazy and calls him "Tenth". This one's for if you want to really throw him for a loop. D-don't feel like you have to do all of them, though orz||)

[konohafy]

[Whoa, Tsuna, lookin' like a bamf right thurr. The opposition looks pretty boring, for the most part - lots of gross-looking plant dudes all over the place. But what Tsuna might not have been expecting is two voices behind him.]

Yo!

Tenth!! Tenth, is that you?!

[Blue will be Yamamoto, grey will be Gokudera :3]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He's really not sure how he ended up here. He'd really rather be hiding away. After all, he can't even defeat a tiny little dog let alone people who have actual fighting abilities compared to his...well, non-existent ones.

And yet. A tiny stubborn part of him won't let him abandon his friends. He doesn't get it, really. He's not especially selfless. Not in the least. But... they've looked out for him. Even when they didn't have to. And being here with them seems to be the right place to be

He doesn't look comfortable though. Yep, he's probably going to die. At least it can't get any worse]

((ooc: It'll get worse. He'll be seeing the Lorax. I WARNED YOU BRO))

[konohafy]

[Seriously, Once-ler, are you sure it's a good idea to be here? Especially since you stick out like a sore thumb amongst all the other warriors. The soldiers just thunder down the cliffs, some slipping into the ground only to re-form above ground a few feet ahead. It's kind of an intimidating sight, don't you think?

But maybe worse than the sight in front of him is the sound behind him. Hanging off a branch behind him is a small, fuzzy orange creature with the voice of Danny Devito]

Something tells me this isn't a good idea, Beanpole.

[both_neither]

[Well, this isn't exactly the type of battle Gren is used to, but it seemed wrong to just leave everyone to fend these things off alone, especially when there was a village full of people who needed defending.

He's got a ton of exploding tags attached to kunai ready to go, along with a determined expression. BRING IT CREEPY DUDES.]

[konohafy]

[Well, not too thrilled about the exploding tags, but they don't seem to care enough to back away! Have a few soldiers coming straight for you, reaching out to grab at him to hold him down]

INTELLIGENCE

[konohafy]

[With the help of some very sneaky ninja, you've been able to get a little more info about these soldiers that are attacking. You've already figured out his Mayfly technique which allows them to merge with the ground and travel within it. But someone has just come in with a sample of the flesh of one of the enemy soldiers! Time to analyze.]

[Characters will find that the flesh sample matches the DNA of a certain Hashirama Senju, a famous figure in Konoha history. Hashirama Senju was best known for his plant-based techniques that could create trees, seeds and flowers. Combine that with the description "half-man, half-Venus flytrap" and … basically, these dudes are mindless plant-based zombie clones.]

EVACUATION CHAMBER

[ino]

[So … anything cool going on in here? A ninja stops by periodically to report the condition of the battle, and a station's been set up for medics once injured soldiers begin to come in, but other than that, it's pretty dead in here …

Maybe someone should start a game of tag or something.]

[If your character is hurt in battle they can be brought here (either by NPCs or by friends)!]

[pharaohlighting]

[Well, this sucks. He'd started to like this village and then all of a sudden he's trapped in this cave or whatever until this battle is over or they all die.

So maybe he's started spit-balling the wall to distract himself.]

I hope we get to go back to the castle soon...

INO'S MESSAGE

[ino]

[With the help of the intelligence crew, Ino's gotten herself hooked up to some broadcasting equipment in the Intelligence Division building. This is because she's realized something really devastating is going on on the battlefield -- a widespread Genjutsu. She was able to break it, herself, but she knows that most others will not have the experience to do so.

So she uses the broadcasting equipment to send out a message. The sound of her voice can be heard in every soldier on the battlefield's mind as she speaks:]

Everyone, listen! I don't have much time -- but right now, an illusion is being cast on the battlefield! Those soldiers are not your friends, or your loved ones! If you can just concentrate for a moment and disrupt your energy flow, it'll cut off the illusion and you'll see! Fight them off as best you can -- they aren't that tough to beat!

[... She doesn't have much experience with such a trying technique, so that's about all she can get out before she has to stop, blood dripping from her nose. People at the Intelligence Division building are welcome to react in person.]

[cyan_maid]

[Holy crap-

HOLY CRAP.

She's not even going to bother asking how you did that because WHOA BLOODY NOSE HERE HAVE A BUNCH OF TISSUES IN YOUR FACE.]

[pocketmage]

[ Yep, have a Genis looking at you worriedly too, trying to see around Jane because well yeah, that's kind of crazy. ]

Ino? Are you okay?

AKATSUKI

[konohafy]

[Wow, these soldiers sure are annoying, aren't they? But they don't seem to have much will of their own, there's got to be someone else behind this ... right?

Yeah, it's this masked guy. He's standing at the top of the waterfall, wearing a long black cloak with red clouds, chuckling a little to himself. You might not have noticed him, but he'll make himself obvious now]

They'll just keep coming until you surrender--!

[not_mafia]

You're the one who should surrender.

[Tsuna hovers in the air, several feet away from Tobi. He's in a fighting stance, but he won't make the first strike.]

Re: AKATSUKI

[cheerupemoborg]

[Okay, that? That large, semi-spherical object headed his way?

Is a boulder. It's sailing through the air at an impressive speed, and its thrower looks kinda upset.]
