"He very well may become scared. But that is something out of our control. Ariella answered the doll. She didn't sugarcoat her response. From what Ariella could tell is that Kimiko is kind, well part of her is. Kimiko has mentioned a few times now addressing concern for frightening others. "If we are afraid of frigthinng others. Might I suggest asking the merchant in helping with that. After all we are commissioning him for a new body, aren't we?" Speaking with her usual smile, except with Kimiko her smile is genuine. Typically, the constant smile displayed on her face had no emotion associated with it in the slightest. The smile was just for sure. But with Kimiko, there was something about her that actual warmed her heart. Ariella just stood behind the doll as she approached the man.
The voice within Kimiko changed once again. This time, to her more serious sounding voice. She was short and straight to the point and requested a combat ready body. knodding to the doll the merchant opened up his top drawer, pulling out a measuring tape. Pulling the end of the tape measure the merchant extended the ribbon and started to get the measurements on Kimiko's existing body."Interesting. Very Interesting." He would say. "No chakra threads. Tell me, how are you controling the body? Or making it speak for that matter/" The merchant looked directly at Ariella, asking her questions under the assumpting that Kimiko was a puppet. "Great question! Kimiko here, is no puppet. Rather, they are an artisful creation unearthed from the ground beneath my feet." The merchant just stood there blinking at Ariella as she answered his question by not answering his question. "If it was a secret that's all you had to say." The merchant complained, fullying unaware that Ariella was speaking the truth. Walking back around his counter her jotted her numbers down and did some calculations."You're probabaly looking at around 480 Ryo." Ariella wasn't super pleased to hear the news. She didn't have anyway close to that amount on her. Not only that, but the commissions she received from D rank missions weren't really worth all that much."Thank you. If you could kindly start construction we will be sure to return with payment in full." She said and would bow to the man in politeness. Turning around Ariella would start to leave the shop before turning back around to beckon Kimiko to follow."Come Kimiko. We have much to do." And with that the pair would leave to star some missions to earn the money they would need.

The man had seemed to mistake her for an actual puppet as he spoke with Ariella instead of her own. While the option to tell the truth was probably the most optimal thing to do considering he was one of the few who could make puppets in the village, there was little reason for him to suspect that they would be telling the truth. The owner studied her carefully while her friend would rush and tell him about how they had met. Unearthing a centuries forgotten puppet was one matter, but it was another entirely to believe such a story. The owner would look at her in disbelief before assuming that it had been a lie. Kimiko shook her head but would understand. Much easier to explain being her puppet than a doll that had come alive. She kept quiet while Ariella would ask about the price. A hefty 480 ryo, a considerable amount if things still went by the era of economics that she had been in before. They agreed on the price while Kimiko began to follow, but stopped. She turned back to the shopkeeper before then adding, "I would also like to request the body look not as scary as this." she said, trying to do her best impersonation of Ariella as to not freak out the owner. After adding that part, she wandered alongside Ariella, ready to udnertake her first mission!

Irelia had been tracking her target for some hours now. It would appear catching him alone would not be an option, but for the Goldenbaum heiress a little blood in public was something easy to bury. Their family was not above sullying others in lies to protect themselves. After all, the lives they've destroyed since escaping Kirigakure is a mountain so steep that it was virtual insurmountable. What was one more sin? A sin to take the visual prowess of a pathetically weak fellow shinobi. One that did not deserve such light, such gifts. Something Irelia could utilize far better than he. Without any hesitation, she would first form a handseal and surge forward, dashing in a speedy aggression with Wind Style chakra manipulation to invoke the Wind Fury. In an instant she would descend from a nearby building dropping a Hook Fissure into the back of Sugichi Rakuro's skull, his helpless body would start to fall forward as she spun her own body and struck him in the chest and back with a Triple Fissure. Each kick crashing deep with each strike cracking bones and severely bruising the areas. The final kick would throw him down to the ground as it swept his legs. Upon the third kick landing, Sugichi was mostly unconscious if he had any sense of awareness remaining at this point.
Activating Kaiser Armor, Irelia was now grabbing the grounded Sugichi by the neck, so he could face Irelia, pulling him upright, she focused all of her chakra into her right fist. "No, no, no. You need to look at me when you die, worm. You don't get to sleep just yet. No, you get to enjoy this Hell. This is because of your weakness. A weakness that all of Arashi has endured... It's too bad the Tyrant let this happen to you. Simply tragic." Then she would crash a Kaiser Fist into his face, crushing and twisting it with intense power. Blood flowed, and the crunching of bones seemed to echo in the area. Quickly tossing what remained of his body like a sack of potatoes over her shoulder, Irelia turned to anyone who was an audience and privy to the scene, before exclaiming, "As far as all of you are concerned, Rakuro-kun here had a bit of an accident and fell. Right? It would be a shame if you had accidents too." And with that, she would use the Mist Instantaneous enhanced by her Hyouton to disappear with Rakuro in her arms, leaving a small flurry of ice and snow particles in her wake.
If Rakuro miraculously was still alive, he would feel all of the areas struck suddenly overwhelmed with Tier 3 Frostbite. There was no chance he was living through this, but his body would be ideally preserved for the implant process. Something that Irelia had covetted.
Bingo Book Data: Active XP: 7000 Body Rank: S Title: Genin Ninja Classes: Taijutsu-Taijutsu Kekkai Genkai: Hyouton Elements: Water Style + Wind Style - Fūton

One second Sugichi was adjusting his stance for practice, the next he was one the ground struggling for air. Of course his Byakugan had tracked the target before impact, but his mind and body didn't have nearly the coordination with his eyes to stop the assault. The onslaught was so sudden and so forceful his body went into shock immediately. It was probably for the best; the brutality was awful enough to experience through dulled sense. Before he faded into frosty death, Sugichi looked over the face of his murderer in his swimming vision. The face of a total stranger.

Additionally, the user's clan techniques are considered one rank higher when attempting to break free. ▱▰▱ Tactical Genius | By spending at least one full post studying their opponent the user gains one extra activation against that specific target, to be used only on a Nara Imitation technique against them. In order to properly study a target one must not take any offensive actions against them and should describe in detail things like the opponents fighting style, as well as formulating a plan against them.
Striding down the dust market streets, walking tall with the usual piercing gaze with a calm and measured expression with an underlying intensity. Clad in her usual darker attire if you didn’t count the poofy white furred jacket she commonly wore in the skyward city, a large bag slung over her shoulder bobbed and swayed with each step. In her left hand she was holding and reading an assignment notice, skimming the details of the mundane yet important task written upon it. Apparently an old scroll master had been taken ill despite the requirement to complete an order, though being unwell this was not possible. Unmei found it a bit strange that people were being assigned to bolster a private, self run business, though took no issue with her skills and time being sent in that direction. The store, known as “reliable scrolls and pieces” was somewhere between a ninja equipment store, mainly in the sealing direction of things and even sold and did some forms of art commissions based on the information provided. She was expecting to meet the assistant of the shop owner, a fellow called Iguro who had worked there for a while but by the sounds of things was little more than an apprentice, not someone suited to filling in for the work of a master.
A small building with an almost hole in the wall quality too it came into her view, not exactly in the best area of the gust market but that sort of thing did not bother Unmei. It was wooden from the most part, almost looking like a cottage of some sort, though the blinking neon sign with the store's name on it. Unmei double checked the address before approaching the building while looking at it curiously, wondering if the inside matched the outside but the stained window would not let her see any interior details. Standing in front of the rather nice looking oak door she rose a hand, wrapping her knuckles off of it before stepping back and folding her arms, looking around the area and studying the area, considering the potential dangerous and routes of safety that existed, the best places to hide and other similar things, not one to consider any location or situation not worthy or caution.

While leisurely walking along the bustling pathways of The Gust Market, Baki found herself on the lookout for new sources of inspiration for her upcoming origami project. Having had great success in the past with crafting scrolls and jutsu, she was resolute in her determination to expand her creative horizons and explore additional possibilities. After deep contemplation, she stood before the bustling scroll market. Despite having never ventured to this particular location before, an intuition, seemingly from within, had guided her to this very spot. With a sense of purpose, she set out to uncover the answers she had been seeking for so long, confident that they lay within the bustling market's walls.
As Baki strolled down the dimly lit alleyway, she saw a woman dressed in a pristine white outfit standing still with an air of deep contemplation. Being a confident individual, Baki decided to approach the woman and strike up a conversation. With a friendly smile, she commented on the peacefulness of the surroundings, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the market just a few blocks away " I heard they are staving for assistance lately. "
Noticing Baki approaching from the corner of her vision caused a slight head turn as this wasn’t an everyday person based on appearance. Remaining wary on the inside as Baki made a comment on the surrounding, Izumi’s piercing eyes remaining rather neutral with a bit of a studying expression before she decided to meet eyes with Baki and nod in agreement to the initial comment, responding to the next statement with actual words to the masked person before them. ”Yes, it would seem that way, but does its hunger come from the inability to hunt successfully or due to choosing not to hunt?” She said in a soft and sort of ambiguous manner, a hint of mystery to her tone as she turned her head back to look at the store door as if expectantly. Motioning with a small but purposefully shift of her hand to indicate the shop in question Izumi asked ”Do you find yourself here due to a fluke turn of your journey, or find yourself here with intention as the main cause? I find myself here with a purpose, though due to chance…, or perhaps fate, who can say.” She didn’t hold off on her casual performative approach to this conversation, meaning her words and questions sincerely but seeming measured and rather deliberate. Izumi was curious if this other person would play along or be put off, this slightly roundabout way of talking allowed Izumi more time to study Baki and reconsider earlier plans and precautions from before this person's presence. Intelligent eyes clearly looking for something, though not alluding to exactly what that might be, whilst her mind was busy weighing how much of a risk Baki might be if an actual risk at all. Besides when speaking, Izumi’s mouth always returned to a neutral and unrevealing expression, a thin yet seemingly deliberate frown, not of dislike but more contemplative, giving little away about herself beyond what her deliberate choice of words had to offer. At the back of her mind she was becoming increasingly more curious as to why the door shed knocked on over a minute ago remained unanswered, there wasn't many good reasons for this so it became a mystery she wanted to solve, vague suspicions over why coming into mind, some farfetched ones even including Baki into being related to the cause.
