"Hmm~ I see so these people think Chakra is this 'Magic' but clearly chakra is in the atmosphere...….wait what about that energy those puppets are made of and the energy inside the women…..could it be that it's not Nature Chakra but what they called 'Magic'?" Rhya muttered to his self as Torune and Tori watched him with blank expressions.

—

Back with Elvira, Fū had used his family techniques to directly invade her mind to look for information but not before taking precautions as to not harm her.

Taking his hand off the women's head he sorted out the information he had gotten. When he finished he walked towards the rest as they watched Rhya with a complicated expression.

"So what did you figure out?" Torune asked.

"A lot of miscellaneous stuff but from what I gathered what she said earlier is correct the area we are located currently in is between two kingdoms." Fū said.

"And about this 'Magic' and those puppets?" Tori asked gaining nod from Torune as he was curious too.

"From her memory I've seen her use this 'magic' and learned a few bits of information, However a quick rundown of things is Humans have 'Magic' residing within them from birth similar to chakra but what caught my attention was how a person could only use one attribute." Fū explained.

"And as for those puppets she doesn't know who controls them but they act as some sort of guard." He added

"What do you mean?" The trio asked Fū

"Like I said I don't know a lot so we will need to have a investigation, But whatever 'Magic' type they are born with is what they are stuck with like this young lady over here has something akin to Genjutsu or how they call it 'Illusion Magic'." He replied

"Only one?" Torune mumbled.

"Yes she doesn't have any memory of herself or anyone using two different types." Fū answered

"They only specialize in one type of specialty that can be dangerous." Tori whispered

"Extremely. That's why our second priority now is to figure out how this 'Magic' works or if it shares any resemblance to Chakra or if it is Chakra." Fū declared.

"I have a question!" Rhya suddenly blurted out.

Cutting anyone off before they could ask what he wanted to know he spoke again.

"Before that Tori look at her Tenketsu and tell us what you see."

Nodding his head Tori activated his Byakugan and looked at the women.

His eyebrows scrunched looking at the women seemingly confused.

"What is it?" Rhya asked.

"She has Tenketsu but It's like the energy within her has melded with her constantly taking in some from the outside and sending throughout her body then releasing it back out." Tori explained.

"That doesn't make any sense Tori." Fū said.

"I-I don't know how to explain it, It's like the opposite of us while she has Tenketsu the 'Magic' within her body isn't flowing through them, It's simply just flowing around her body rampantly in random patterns."

(A/N: Tenketsu in BC are going to be used as pressure points similar to naruto but they won't transfer 'Magic' throughout ones body like Chakra.)

"That's rather odd." Rhya muttered

"Indeed but this is good for now, some of her information was about some close by villages we can head to be it only information she never had left the forest, We need to bring her back before anyone in her village figures out and calls someone of importance or even the Anbu if they have them." Fū said.

"I agree, for now let's just find a good place to Settle at and then we can continue our search while I research this so called 'Magic'." Rhya said earning nods from the rest.

Placing their masks back onto their faces the group readied themselves as Tori hoisted the women over his shoulder and they flickered towards her house.

Once arriving they entered her home making sure it was empty then released her from the restraints and placed her into her bed. Healing the bruises she had gotten from the restraints the group cleaned up all evidence of them being in the house and left.

As the group followed Fū throughout the forest towards a direction he said a small village should be in they noticed Rhya making a small clicking noise with his tongue while this would have just been ignored by anyone else to them it was a signal used by Root members to secretly notify other members if they are being followed.

Just as the group started to near the edge of the forest they heard a women's voice from above.

"Blood Creation Magic: LifeBlood Scythe."

Jumping in different directions the group watched as a blood red scythe cut through the tree Fū had just been on.

Regrouping, on one tree branch stood the four former Root captains with their weapons drawn,

And on the opposite stood the witch queen with her 2 meter tall blood red scythe with its 3 meter long blade resting on her shoulder.

"Imperfect Creatures invading my forest and kidnapping my people." She spoke with tone full of disgust and arrogance.

Stepping forward Fū tried to deescalate the situation.

"Excuse my ma'am are you the Kage of this village?"

She was confused. 'Kage?' But Sensing the confusion from the mans voice the women spoke.

"I am the Witch Queen and you are in the Witches Forest, My forest."

Slightly bowing his head Fū spoke again.

"Please forgive us we had no intention of doing any harm we simply are lost but have found our way."

"Being lost means you kidnap people?" She scoffed

"Can you blame us? She hated men anyways so talking to her normally wouldn't have done any good. Plus she is unharmed." Fū clarified.

"No men are allowed in this forest, you broke the rule. Then you kidnapped a witch now you simply say you are lost let me guess a spy from the Diamond kingdom again?" She said slowly boiling with anger

"Diamond kingdom? We hold no relationship with that kingdom nor Clover we simply are traveling and got lost in the forest." Fū replied.

"You expect me to believe that? If what you say is true then show me your grimoires." She demanded.

Shit…

"We do not have grimoires." Fū hesitantly said.

With that all negotiations broke down.

"I should have known all of you imperfect creatures are the same."

*Swing*

*Slash*

*cr-CRACK*

*Thud*

The tree above the head of the witch queen was severed and slammed into the ground showing off the insane sharpness of the Blood Scythe.

*sigh*

"Lady Kage we really do not wish to fight simply to be on our way." Fū added quickly hoping to get through to the women.

Instead of answering the women raised her scythe and swung it at him. Raising his Tanto he layered it with chakra as a blue hue appeared around it.

*Ting~*

"Tch, a mere traveler being able to block my magic how imperfect."

Jumping back Fū regrouped with the rest of his team and they took their positions ready to fight.

As did the witch queen.

(A/N: all for now~)
