Encounter 5: The Descent

Arahitogami reaches the belltower, but quickly finds the insects inside his body going haywire. Some begin to have convulsions, others feel as though they are waging war against his body in some desperate bid to escape. His body is wracked with pain, and, doubling over, he vomits. Clutching his shaking arms, he flips onto his side, arching his back and wailing in pain. The deep, subsonic frequencies of the bell toll over and over, and with every rumbling oscillation they drive Arahitogami closer to self-destruction.

This is the sight that Yumiko sees as she cautiously approaches the belltower. A lone genin, like her, in the throes of excruciating pain.
