Operation H.I.V.E.
High Intensity Virus Execution
The top political officials of each village, Daimyo's, Kages, and Commanders, would each receive a simple note of paper that stated 'Operation H.I.V.E. you have been warned.' This meant nothing to anyone, thus the letter was mostly ignored. Time went on and eventually a war between Fire and Wind would spark and cause the needed chaos to deflect what was really going on within the world.
*Kogyo Village*
A number of shinobi wearing specialized gas masks made their way north, towards the mines from the south-lands. Leading the pack was a familiar face cloaked in shadows, sporting a straw hat, and sipping from a glass of wine. Ashido Aburame smiled as he looked up at the sun. "What a beautiful day to change the world..." He said out loud, but more-so towards himself. The shinobi behind him seemed like a rough bunch, all shapes and sizes but one thing stood out... their skin seemed to be the color of gun metal. One of the members spoke up towards Ashido;
"Sire, are you sure this group... the Ketsueki, is what we should align with? We have come at your beckoning but we also are left outside of the loop. Not doubting your knowledge of course... we are loyal to you without a doubt, however..."
Ashido cut them off "I understand your concerns. You are walking a blind path and not fully understanding where it will take you. Only a fool would not question such... Shishio is the son of Genzai. Whom you all know was one of my best friends in the years prior. We shared the dream of how the world should be, and he has said drive. I do not have the patience to deal with systematic leadership. I need those beneath me to handle those beneath them so that I do not have too. He will prove to be a good leader to you, all of you. And my efforts is to support him... that's why you all are here now. My most powerful weapon is those of your traits... those of Steel Release. The countries here know nothing of your kind, of your powers, and it couples so well with my poisons. We will reform these lands in no time. The Ketsueki are our name, and we all share the same dream. Don't we?" He asked, allowing the question to hang.
"Correct sire. If how the villages work is how you have explained, they are flawed. No wonder war is always a revolving door here. Foolish children playing as adults it seems. We should have little issue dealing with these individuals. Our capabilities with steel release trumps all elements.... well... iron sand is a close contender but not so many of those anymore." The group chuckled as if that comment was an inside joke.
Ashido smiled and sipped from his wine. "Indeed.... conquer or kill your counter."
The man paused then said "Heh... as you have done with us?"
Ashido halted just outside the mines and turned to face the others. "Just as I have done to you..." He walked up, reached out his free hand which was now covered in nano bugs, and ran his figure along the steel skin of the man before him. The nano bugs had no effect.... Ashido smiled and turned back towards the mines. "Today is the day... enough bodes have been compiled."
A few swift one handed seals was cast and then after about forty seconds a massive explosion could be heard from beneath the game. The explosion caused an earthquake throughout the land of Kogyo. This caused a shift in the landscape, a secondary entrance to the mines was formed which was the location of the underground explosion. Poisonous gas flowed everywhere. It clung to any and everything throughout the land. The gas filled the air and was so intense it hung. Civialians across the lands gasped and one by one began to die. Kogyo village was now a death zone for those not wielding the same specialized gas masks that the followers of Ashido held.
"Step two... complete." Ashido said.
Across the land, individuals with a high amount of spliced genes would find themselves suffering from a debilitating effect. Their vitality struggled to keep up as the different genes within them reacted in different ways, almost like they were constantly fighting against each other.
-----------------------------
***Kogyo village now is surrounded in a poison mist that deals -5 damage per turn to any shinobi caught in the area without a specialized gasmask.
***Characters with 3 or more spliced genes now suffer -1 vitality for RP purposes. They should GM help for their 'Tainted Genes' perk. Individuals who fail to do this with 3 or more spliced genes will receive an amplified version of the tainted genes perk instead, once discovered by an admin.
***Players can now request to DR into Aburame OR Steel Release Rogues should they wish too (Per the story line). Upon approval of said request, they would be forced to follow the RP of the Ketsueki.
