♚ Only Fools Rush In ♚
A pity it was that two men had let pride take over them to the point of sheer ignorance and utter disarray. If they truly were innocent men then why gather chakra atop the Kage's building instead of seeking an audience with the people to explain their side of events? Why make a spectacle and attack the Raikage in public? The answer is simple. This wasn't a case of “cause and effect”...the Marechi brother's attempted onslaught was merely the inevitable. They were traitors, honorless men who spat on their nation’s values out of spite. For if peace was truly in their hearts, they would've asked their brother, the Kazekage, to smooth things over with the Raikage. Alas, evil does what evil is. The Marechi brothers were obviously no different.

<From my previous post> ~ Previous techniques still active, C had also...~

Fortunately, they were stupidly careless. A frailty that had ultimately cost them both their lives and their reputation. Ignorance. Recklessness. Either meant death for any soldier. Having them both? Well that only guaranteed voluntary suicide via a natural inclination to do something tremendously stupid. For example: attacking the Raikage in front of several armed witnesses.

C was the same dangerous clone ready to commit homicide or suicide at a moment's notice due to the Raikage’s extensive battle preparations. Thankfully, the latter wasn’t necessary since, as stated previously, C had arrived with several jutsu and preparations still active thanks to the abundance of chakra left by the Raikage, both a Jinchūriki and a descendant of both the Senju & Uzumaki clans respectively. The most important one being the Raikage's original jutsu, Rinpun Himitsu. A sensory jutsu which displaces spores into the surrounding atmosphere in a predetermined range with the Raikage at the center. Before arriving here, C had extended the range of her spores to 300 meters. The lavender powder is still well spread, far enough not to be noticed especially in the darkness but close enough to grant sensory perception. This jutsu held the key to a precise counterattack as Unmei rushed right into it. His speed may have been bolstered but the Raikage with her own enhanced mental processing had little difficulty keeping up with the telltale shinobi and those tells were ironically told by Unmei himself. His dramatic use of senjutsu and bio-electric chakra permeating his skin was instantly detected the moment he entered the range of her spores. The Rinpun Himitsu allows C to sense anything that enters its range whether it be movement or chakra. Like a homing beacon, impulses of incoming danger pulsated in her mind, alerting her of Unmei's approach yet it happened so fast C attacked based on instinct...the result a “scattershot”.

Kongō Fūsa | Adamantine Sealing Chains

Intercepting Unmei from a hair’s breadth away, were countless auric chains impaling the individual at a speed equivalent to the bullets that would've been fired earlier. Using an attacking method called “funneling”, the chains all simultaneously attacked from various angles. Left, right, above, below, front, behind, left/right diagonally, etc. a web of chains pierced every inch and every orifice, {except for the face} of the Marechi's body. This attempt at a counter should be extremely successful as Unmei had moved with too much momentum to veer of course plus how could one even dodge an attack happening at so many angles all at once and at practically point blank range {75 μm} so very close to their body? As for how the Raikage did this? Elementary, Kongō Fūsa is a jutsu that can be summoned from either the user's torso OR “anywhere in which the user's chakra resides”. With the spores being in the ambient atmosphere but formed from C's chakra at their core, it was child's play to mentally conjure chains using the spores as a medium. But pending succession, things were far from over.

The cluster of chains served not only to impale but also to restrict both body and chakra. The Uzumaki clan was notorious for their sealing jutsu and the Kongō Fūsa, was by far one of their strongest, capable of nullifying the chakra and holding back even the Nine Tails. Therefore, the Marechi's entire chakra system {senjutsu included} became obsolete the instant he was penetrated by the Raikage's fūinjutsu. Even if the counter was a success, it was still a close call as Unmei's hand hung 27.94 centimeters from C's obscured visage with a chain straight through the palm. Free hand dropped the hood of her cloak, revealing a hidden defense, one that would've protected her even if she hadn't conjured the chains. Emerald hair framed a complexion no longer porcelain but very much sable:

Shinra Banshō Dōka no Jutsu | Assimilate All Creation Technique

The aforementioned jutsu allows the user to take on the properties of a nearby object, material, or substance, and any of its special characteristics. Before coming here, C not only expanded the range of the Himitsu technique but also used her mother's Carbon ring as a template for the Shinra Banshō. Up until now, the cloak had hid her sable skin to ensure that when she exposed her Carbon defenses it came as a surprise to the attacker. Luckily, the enemy had made things easier by bringing the fight directly to her. Or in other words..never mind she'll say it. One last thing had to happen as C gave a sinister smirk as digits clenched the wooden pike with hushed rage. A second would be the only elapsed time from Unmei's capture to C thrusting the pike straight through the Marechi's mouth. Splinters in his throat were the least of his worries as C immediately made a single hand sign.

Mokuton: Sashiki no Jutsu |Wood Style: Cutting Sprigs Jutsu

The wood thrust in the man's mouth, rupturing his throat, expanded...slithering while still inside his body until jutting out as six additional spikes that re-punctured lungs and obliterated what little was already left of his spine. It was then that their gaze ACTUALLY met for the first and final time as hazel eyes watched life wilt from Unmei's eyes. The Raikage never took pleasure in taking a life but for a traitor she’d held no regrets. A dirge came in the form of dialogue delivered as both a taunting song and a soft whisper. The last words that only Unmei would hear before the C forcibly twisted the pike with a mere flick of her wrist, further severing already ruined organs and arteries in his body.

“♩ You did this to yourself ♪ ”

This moment represents Winry's very nature: she is the retribution of the Uzumaki and Senju clans. A branching of two powerful clans now forgotten but still formidable.
