Mad Fumes [Private | Crafting]

Yumi grumbled as they departed from the Kirigakure hospital. They had been delivered to the white walls of hell after th training session with their team-mates. One team-mate had dropped them off in order for the lolita to have their broken left arm looked at. Left in the care of the medics, Yumi set the bone back into place himself with a loud snap before having the medic heal the damage up restoring it. The arm was currently wrapped in plaster as an added precaution. The arm was useable but Yumi would just have to be careful, not that it mattered to the illusionist they had better things to do.

After checking out Yumi headed to the market district before heading out, pulling out his little book of chemical concoctions it was full of. Flicking through them Yumi made a mental list of the ones he would create and the ingredients needed to do so. Stopping off at a pharmacy, a grocery store and a few other shinobi supplies along the way, Yumi gathered up all the materials needed. With bag in hand, the medic retreated to their humble abode to begin cooking up their next creation. Humming a soft melody made time pass shortening the distance to his apartment complex.

Heading up to his room, the trap designed to look like a lolita worked in closing the door behind him. The genin walked to his chemistry lab just opposite the bedroom and placed the bags down on the workbench before retreating into his room. Grabbing the sash around his waist, Yumi threw it off allowing the Yukata to fall down around his knees, showing off pristine white skin. Walking over to the closet, Yumi slid the door open, grabbing a white lab coat and slipped it on. The coat was to big for Yumi's frame, falling over him.

Heading back to the lab Yumi got started, the first item was a tea made from the leaves of one of Mizu No Kuni's native plants. Fishing it out off the bag, was a small jar of water filled with light green leaves with ice blue veins. Taking the leaves out, Yumi set them on a drying rack with a bunsen burner beneath it. The rack was up high enough to ensure the flames wouldn't touch the leaves. The rack was enclosed in a glass box, design to contain the heat and dry the leaves out faster. Turning the gas tap on, Yumi grabbed a match and lit the burner creating a bright red flame. Turning the burner the flame went from red to bright blue.

Timing the process, Yumi gave it not twenty seconds before turning the bunsen off at the gas tap. The heat was contained within the box as water vapour clung to its sides. The heat that remained would dry the leaves out. As the leaves dried Yumi began preparing another item.

Yumi moved around preparing another provision, she was intending to make lemon squash with a little extra kick. Yumi wasn't going to use any old lemon's, but special lemons that grown on the Purple Leafed Mist Lemon Tree, a tree native to kirigakure. These yellow and purple lemons have a unique property, when consumed they stimulate the body boosting speed. Eating a lemon on it's own would give a minor speed boost, but when refined and mixed with sugar and water would produce an even higher speed boost.

Getting to work Yumi began to squeeze the yellow and purple lemons, putting all their strength into it, squeezing out every last purplish yellow drop of fluid from said lemons. After squeezing out three lemons, Yumi got a small container of sugar and began measuring out spoon fulls adding it to the mix. Stirring it up, Yumi poured the mix into a beaker and placed it on a bunsen burner at low heat, to help fuse the mixture together.

While that was happening, Yumi extracted the tea leaves and placed them into a ceramic teapot and placed it over another bunsen burner. Turning the heat to the maximum, Yumi set a timer for three minutes to go off and alert her when it was finished. GOing back to the lemon squash, Yumi used tongues to remove the beaker and pour the chemical mixture into a one-litre beaker, filling it up by 400mls. Yumi then added 600mls of water and stirred using chakra to spin the mixture. The chakra would fuse with the mixture to help bring out its properties. Yumi let it sit and waited three minutes as the alarm went off.

Removing the teapot, Yumi took a whiff of the aromatic scent that calmed her body. Yumi grabbed four 200ml heatproof bottles and poured the tea into it. The tea had a light greenish blue colour to it. With this Yumi had concocted the Water Spring Tea. A tea that had the ability to restore one's chakra reserves by a small portion.

Spoiler:

Heading back to the lemon squash, Yumi began to stir it, helping the materials to fuse together, while continuously pouring chakra in, helping them join. As it settled, gaining a slightly clear golden colour, the medic took out a dropper, placed it into the mixture and extracted a small amount of the fluid. Opening rosy lips, the medic emptied the contents of the dropper into their mouth and swallowed the fluid. A warm sensation filled their body, as a wave of energy came over them, flowing down into their leg muscles. Yumi felt the urge to run and dashed over to the other side of the laboratory, finding their speed had been increased every so slightly, not enough to be overly noticeably and break the barrier to the next level, but it was noticeably none the less. With the lemon squash completed, Yumi started procedure for the next concoction.

The medic walked over to a wooden box, forged from the lumber of a tree found deep in Kiri's misty swamps. It absorbed water filled with chakra essence, growing in a cold environment and could be used to store certain kinds of materials that had ice based properties. It helped to keep them fresh. Placing tender hands on the box, a chill entered Yumi's veins. With a gulp, the medic opened it up. Inside was three lotus flowers, they were icy blue in colour with a thick frosty mist emitting from their body. With a gulp, Yumi gently lifted one of the lotus's feeling the cold on their fingertips. This lotus grew in a cold environment constantly absorbing the ice essence around it, gaining a deadly property. When consumed ice would fill the veins and ones chakra reserves would rapidly restore. Taking two lotuses was fine, but on the third, a curse would reveal its ugly head. On the third consumption, a poison will fill the body inducing nausea and dizziness, even vomiting.

The lotus should be boiled first to remove the poison, but Yumi wasn't skilled enough to do this, so they could only eat it raw. Packing the material away back into the box Yumi sealed it shut. This item, Yumi had collected today had a high price. It wasn't easy to get ahold of.

Yumi went back to work this time to create some pellets to assist with scent-based Genjutsu. Yumi wanted to expand the range of their illusions, scent-based illusions were a must, by using a scented pellet and mixing chakra into it. When smelt the illusion would then take place. The particular pellet Yumi was intending to make was a lavender pellet that would release a gas over a small area that had the scent of lavender to it. The smell would be incredibly miss leading, but by the time they realised it was a trap an illusion would be cast and the foe would be stuck in Yumi's world. The Genin giggled evilly as they went to work, melting down materials, boiling them in word, grinding others into a paste, adding all sorts of chemicals and items into the mix. Once a strange light purple paste had been made, Yumi began rolling and compressing it into a ball, until it was shaped like a small pellet no bigger than a golf ball with a light purple shade to it. Yumi placed them down on a tray before heating over a bunsen in order to harden the pellets.

Waiting ten minutes, Yumi removed the tray, letting them cool down. It would be foolish to grab them while they were still hot. After an after, The medic grabbed one pellet, throwing it up and down before catching it. Channelling chakra into the pellet Yumi threw it into the air where it released a thick lavender coloured gas. The sweet-smelling gas filled the room with the thick scent of lavender. Yumi laughed maniacally at the finished product. In total Yumi had made eleven balls, one was just a test ball so now they had ten to use. Storing them into their pouch Yumi admired their work, before opening up windows and wafted the gas outside into the streets. The streets were dead as many of the residences avoided it like the plague, lest they are caught by one of Yumi's experiments.

Spoiler:

The medic adopted a thinking pose, chin cupped in right hand pondering over what to make next. They were running short on materials and would have to go shopping soon for more, but they had enough to make one more item, but what to make was the question. Yumi already had two provisions, a compound and a drug that could restore chakra. Yumi lacked the skill to make the medicines they wanted and they didn't want to make low-level D rank ones at this point. Yumi had medical ninjutsu to take their place. Tapping their chin an idea popped into place, what about a poison. Looking over the materials remaining, there was enough to make two of them. Yumi was pleasantly surprised, for now, though they would make one, the other could be made after the first.

The question is which to make. A long range, wide poison would be beneficial to Yumi. One that was a gas, but could be thrown as a solid first. The one that popped into mind was a poison Yumi had messed around with months ago labelled Toxin S. Yumi wasn't very imaginative when it came to names. The poison took the shape of a small purple pellet slightly bigger than a grain of rice. It was solid until exposed to chakra. Once expos3ed it would turn into a purple vapour cloud inducing dizziness and disorientation while lowering one's perception. Once chakra was channelled in, Yumi could then throw it at a target before the effect took place.

Yumi went to work immediately gathering the necessary materials, working diligently to make the poison. Sweat formed on the chemist's brow. They had been working throughout the day and was growing exhausted. Time ticked away and after a long gruelling hour, Yumi had finally made the poison, taking the shape of three pills/pellets. Pocketing the pellets, Yumi took a short break to rest.

Spoiler:

After resting up for over an hour, Yumi stood up and began contemplating on what poison to make now. There was one they had been researching lately by studying the venom glands and sacks of the coastal taipan that lives in the coastal areas of Mizu no Kuni. Said to be one of the most venomous snakes in the world, its bite can kill a grown man in seconds. Yumi had been thinking of synthesising their own version of the snake's venom. At the moment the chemist wasn't skilled enough to reproduce its lethal killing properties or even enhance them, but Yumi could make a poison based off of it, but with a lesser effect.

Taking a sample of venom, the medic began analysing and experimenting with it, while on the side developing their own synthesised venom. Yumi moved between the two types of venom comparing and developing. Yumi even tested a small sample of the Taipan's venom on a lab mouse they had, one of many. Within moments the mouse died. Taking a sample of blood, Yumi looked at it under a microscope documenting the effect it had.

Every step helped Yumi gain a better understanding as they worked on the synthesised venom, testing every result. The first nothing happened, but Yumi waited, it took an hour before the mouse started going blind and ran into things. Yumi kept revamping the synthesised venom, some effects induced vomiting others caused intense pain, before the final product was made. When the mouse was injected with the final product it lost its balance becoming dizzy before experiencing piercing pain from point of entry.

Yumi laughed as the venom was finished all that was left was enough liquid for three doses, to coat three weapons in the lethal venom. The medic pondered before grabbing their tanto and began coating its blade in the lethal poison, two doses were left.

Spoiler:

Yumi left the laboratory, but not before spotting one last material. Going over, Yumi grabbed it and inspected it. The material was a type of powder that could be used to boost strength when added to certain ingredients, one just happened to be sugar. Once consumed the consumer would receive a small boost to their strength. Seeing that the medic still had some items left they decided to make one last item, cookies, more precisely sugar cookies. Heading to the kitchen with the jar of powder, Yumi heated the oven to 190 degrees Celsius and while they waited for it to warm up began to make the batter

Grabbing a bowl, Yumi added in a cup of flour, half a teaspoon of baking powder and baking soda with a little milk. The genin started mixing it with a mixing spoon until the texture was right. Straining, Yumi lacked strength, making the mixing process an effort for them. once the mixture was done they put it down and grabbed another bowl.

In the second bowl, Yumi creamed together butter and sugar until it was smooth. As it smoothed out, Yumi grabbed the jar of strength raising powder and dumped it all in before mixing that in until it was smooth. The medic then beat in egg and a dose of vanilla for extra flavouring. Once that was added, Yumi retrieved the first bowl and added the dry ingredients and mixed them in until the dough was ready.

Taking the dough, Yumi kneaded it into their hands. The dough had shrunk in size as the powder absorbed a lot of it. There was enough to make four cookies, but that would be more than enough for what was being made. Grabbing a tray and putting the nonstick paper down so the cookies wouldn't stick, Yumi laid the balls of dough onto the paper. Once all four were in place the medic slid the tray into the hot oven, shutting the door afterwards and began to wait for the cookies to cook. The medic hummed softly as they sat on the kitchen bench, kicking at the air like a little kid. Yumi was so used to their little act it was almost second nature. The male dressed as a girl clicked their tongue against teeth as time ticked by.

Ten minutes came to pass and Yumi hoped down, opening the oven and pulled the tray out with a cloth. The cookies had flattened out, while a sweet smell of vanilla and sugar wafted from them. Licking lips Yumi sat the tray down on the bench to cool. Yumi wasn't going to eat them, but have them stored away. Once finished, any money Yumi had left they would head down to the marketplace to grab a scroll to seal the items up, that way the items would stay fresh. Nodding their head, the medic let time tick so the cookies could cool down. Once cooled Yumi grabbed a container and placed them inside before grabbing the other items they had, the Winter White Lotus, four bottles of Water Spring Tea, four bottles of Lemon Squash, Three Toxin S pellets, the two doses of synthesised venom and the ten lavender pellets. Taking them all Yumi left.
