Our Second Castle Caper

Mission:

A black lake in the middle of this otherwise plain floor caught Nakaba's eye as he watched it ripple eerily. Though his team was still searching on the other parts of the floor, his guts told him that down beneath the depths here was where the next tag lay in waiting. Saying nothing to his team, the genin dove head first into the depths. As he crossed the threshold a strange realization spontaneously manifested in him. Either I can't fathom the bottom of this or it truly doesn't end. Now that he was in it he could see endlessly down as the light never diminished as if the water itself was glowing.

With everything on his person, he honestly expected to sink, but Nakaba got the sense that this body was too deep to be affected by gravity. He repeated the nonsensical thought, so he could dispel it. It's too deep to be affected by gravity. Shaking his head Nakaba would begin to swim down along side the shaft of this mysterious pool minutes seemed to pass faster than Nakaba could keep track of, but he felt as if he could hold his breath endlessly. Finally he saw it. His reflection, looking at him from an eerie rectangle on this sheer, cliff like wall, waved at him smiling almost too wide. It held a tag in its hand.

With a quick motion it would break one of its fingers and Nakaba's same finger would shatter. It would pull out a nameless sword as its smile would grow larger still. The blade would slowly rise up to its throat as Nakaba was paralyzed under the influence of whatever was happening, only able to watch helplessly. With a quick SHWIP, both of their throats were slit as Nakaba watched vitae and air flee from his body. Nakaba woke up gasping. He had actually broken his finger while under the jutsu's spell. He arose though with a tag in hand the lake now no more shallow than a mere puddle.
