A Quick Pitstop

"Hello there good fellow!" said Guscle Clu- I mean, Giichi Ito, arms tense and curled in, allowing his trapezii and deltoids to excend upwards into the air in a way most telling of raw, unadulterated STRENGTH. Giichi was walking to the gates from inside the village. "Sorry if you have been standing there long, the previous guard had a bit of an incident and I had to rush here to fill in!"

Poor Dai Cho. Giichi knew she had difficulty with being forward while working as a gate guard, and he felt so bad that they had to swap to individual rotations while the village was having a personnel crisis. The young girl had not stood a chance when that right nag had turned up and talked, shouted, and screamed, trying to get by while breaking so many of the rules that Dai Cho was so insistent on being followed. Kurioshiki had at least been there, but was distracted with an inspection off to the side, and had taken quite awhile to notice something was going wrong. By the time he had gone over to help, Dai Cho had started a full on panic attack. Kurioshiki had been able to calm her down enough only to let him carry her, and only after he had driven the the nag away, and back onto the road. Any wares carried in that cart were not worth the trouble of the people that had ridden in on it.

So here was Giichi, walking to the gates, and very thankful that the gates were very... not busy at this time. He would be alone, as Kurioshiki was making sure Dai Cho recovered fine, but he was OK with that. This would not be a double shift, only time and a half. And he would get paid overtime for this.

This Saturday would most certainly be a feast! He would chortle heartily, but he had a job to do, as he finally approached the guard box.

"What can I do for you, friend? If you seek entry, might I see your papers?" It was a simple question, asked in a simple way, as he raised one arm, slightly angled upwards, his forearm pointing straight up, ending in a fist. His other arm would be angled slightly downward, but once again, his forearm would point straight up, ending in a fist.

He leaned ever so slightly, standing outside the guard post, flexing his muscles to the world around him. "Would you like to know my diet?"

Something something you aren't breathing if the only visible change of Paradox is the outline and not the afterimages of a moving chest

The silver outline was strange. The outpouring of hand seals a moment after was enough to get Giichi fleeing back to within the boundaries of the village. There was no real distance he had to cover to do this. Yes, there was some, but it was nearly inconsequential, a few centimeters at most, plus the another meter to not be straddling the line. He jumped backwards, continuing to look towards The Assassin preparing the onslaught.

Giichi's gaze would be one that speaks of death, threatening the person on the other side of the gate to the village with the reality of what happens if he tries anything. Then, Giichi would go red with anger, preparing for the worst. All this in the moments before the snakes were even brought out.

His muscles, prodigious as they were, could stand to stand out even more, exuding great power, slapping one hand and rushing them forward in a most complicated shape similar to a tiger. Or at least, that would be the shape once it were large enough to visualize. This would face right towards The Assassin, launching a wave of pressure in his very direction. This was in reaction to the creation of snakes, it would be only now that he saw their onslaught truly coming, and knew he would need to find some way to deal with them. And that this individual was dangerous.

Though how dangerous a someone he would not yet know. And may never really figure out.

Shin would give a small smirk as the man he had chosen to be his sacrifice gave him a truly cold glare, showing just how little the man intimidated him in this moment. The mans skin turning a deep red caught his attention, although not as much as the intriguing way that a few of the major Tenketsu within his chest were overloaded with chakra to trigger such a state… intriguing indeed. It mattered little though, as none of the man's actions would stop or even delay any of the actions he had performed. The jutsu fired his way was also intriguing, a large tiger formed almost entirely of air pressure… but unfortunately, far inferior to his Wild Hunt in terms of strength, and as such when they clashed, the man would find his jutsu overcome. And, given that he did not move out of range of Wild Hunt, the man would find himself struck by the tidal wave of snakes, a great deal of which would wrap themselves around his body, binding him from head to toe in a ‘coffin’ of snakes, preventing him from so much as twitching without a strength greater than the power of his Wild Hunt. Furthermore, both Shin’s Withering Field and Dampening Field, which had been formed behind him shortly after his jutsu had been launched, would come into contact with him. Withering Field would immediately cripple the man's physical strength and speed, while Dampening Field would decrease whatever gains the man was receiving from his Enhancer.

Shin would wordlessly direct the wave of snakes to bring the man towards him, and as they did so he would form the handseals required for the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation, save the clap at the end. upon doing so a complex jutsu formula would form upon the ground up to 5m from his, with a single large black circle forming in the direct centre of the formula, 2.5m in front of him. Of course, most of this was hidden by the snakes, but his Byakugan allowed him to see it quite clearly, and to direct his snakes to move the man directly onto the large black circle. With his sacrifice in place, Shin would pull an old, withered scroll from his pocket and unfurl it before him, before performing the two handseals required to activate his Storage Displacement, extending his right hand out and grasping the jar of blood he had received from the Kazekage. He would place the jar of blood onto the scroll, and upon doing so would clap his hands… an action which would cause the jar within the blood to rapidly drain until only half of the blood (500ml) remained, with the rest having been sucked directly into the large jutsu formula on the ground, moving through it at great speed (225) and heading directly for the large circle beneath the bound man. Should the blood reach the large circle beneath the tightly bound man a mixture of ash and dust would seep through the veritable coffin of snakes and consume his body, covering it entirely before simply peeling away… but upon doing so, the features of his sacrifice would have instead been replaced by the features of his new summon.. It was only upon seeing this with his Byakugan that Shin would deactivate his Summoning Art: Wild Hunt.

Once this was done Shin would quickly retrieve the half filled jar of blood that remained, before closing the distance between himself and his new summon. The Assassin would place his free hand upon the unmoving shoulder of the summon, before teleporting both himself and his summon far from the ruined gates of Tanbogakure. He did exactly what he had done in Sunagakure to avoid their own Interdiction Seals, and teleported himself and his new summon 1.999km away from the village, right to the edge of the zone protected by the seals. He was tempted to simply activate yet another teleportation technique to teleport out of the country as a whole… but he doubted such action was necessary. At worst, he would simply kidnap whoever came after him and use them as a sacrifice in the future.

[Attempted Exit - Should Everything Go According To Plan]

Yeah I made a mistake when I first read interdiction seals

I thought I'd actually have a dodge but interdiction seals go 2km outside the village, and it isn't even arguable about S/T casted from within the bubble (though you would be recorded by the system, just not stopped, I think).

I'm assuming this is not a mistake. Technically the rules say village upgrades cannot affect areas OUTSIDE the village but if Interdiction Seals are excluded from that, then yeah, Giichi can't do anything to stop this.

So just letting the hits happen and Giichi is powerless to stop it

My bad, Giichi, I misread shit and that killed you faster than might have otherwise happened.
