| Under the eclipsed sky on the outskirts of Iwa a young boy with a puppet appears out of what can only be thin air with 10 shinobi coming out of similar portals each one appearing behind the young male shinobi all of the 10 shinobi wearing masks and the uniform found in Kiri. Once the shinobi had left the portals each one closed up the rift in the air closing behind them like a door sealing shut a little ahead of the group they saw two people each one dressed in long black clothing with hoods hiding their face along with the dark eclipsed sky nothing of them could be seen none of the shinobi recognised the clothing apart from the young genin Kensei. The shinobi behind Kensei had been given strict orders to follow his commands he was the commander of the operation and his word was law no matter what he said the loyal soldiers or perhaps they were more like pawns would follow his every command. Kensei had been given his orders by the one he works for only him knowing what or who his real target was the others being there to make sure that everything went as planned their master being a cautious one leaving nothing to chance. Kensei had also been given his treasure that he had requested for the task at hand ((scroll you wanted you now have)) for once it seemed that Tenshi had placed his trust in somebody else to get the job he wanted done and Kensei knew this was a test to see if he was worthy to work for Tenshi. “So you are the new boy they are all talking about...interesting.” One of the hooded figures spoke while lifting his head up to look over at Kensei and the group that had just arrived his face being that of a young man his hair being a dark black color with his eyes holding the soft brown tone to him everything else being hidden by the cloak and the dark sky while he gave off a mysterious aura it was clear he knew about Kensei and his task while he also meant no harm. A slight chuckle escaped his lips as he turned away from Kensei and the group behind him as he looked towards the giant walls of the village his tongue running over his lips like a predator gazing towards his prey ready to bring it down and feast. Yes it was clear to Kensei now that the people who worked directly under the man he was with currently were no ordinary people they viewed life as something different to them good and evil did not exist in their world right and wrong meant little and all they cared about was accomplishing the goals maybe they were also their goals or maybe they were just that loyal to their master that was to be seen and hard to figure out. “We should get going...our friends await us.” The mans low chuckle came to a stop as he spoke again and began to walk towards the village his hands being placed under his cloak while his words held warmth and coldness all at the same time he had familiarized his targets to himself something that a shinobi had been taught never to do. Yet it was something he seemed to take great pleasure in doing with the way he walked lacking any sort of stealth it was just a simple walk towards the village like he cared little if he was seen or not. The group did notice some sort of barrier that enveloped them all including the man that was walking ahead of the group with the other cloaked figure appearing to walk behind the group and Kensei. The sides of the barrier being a soft blue color before fading away changing into a transparent color as it faded into the background of the group the barrier serving to conceal the group closing them off from the outside world they could talk and walk and nobody would hear anything or see anything from outside the barrier. It served as the perfect closed off space allowing them to approach the village without worry still it was about 20 or 30 minutes away at the pace they were going with the cloaked figure turning his head once more to catch a better look towards Kensei. “So...he told you why we are all here then?” |
| High above, slightly to the left of the small group yet another portal split the air. It created a vertical slash, that spun, and as it spun a hellish light boiled forth. out of that light stepped another figure, garbed in a cloak of the darkest black. the figure looked down, seeing the group just as they disappeared from sight. Keeping an eye upon you little manipulator shall be a bit more difficult then I had once pressumed... no matter, what tenshi says goes... With those thoughts, the figure swooped down like a bat to the ground below. The now open portal spun, turning back in to a horizantal slash in the sky, quickally disapating. the figure ran low to the ground, folowing the group at a discreete distance, reading the signs of passage in the slightly disterbed earth. Being a former tracker, made the job so much easyer. |
 ◦It feels so close to me, yet i can't grasp it even if i extend my hands. Even so ... Even if i cant reach it ... there are things that will stay in my heart. Being in the same time and looking up at the same sky, If i can remember that, then even when we are apart from each other, I believe that we can be together. I will run forward now. If i set my goal far enough, then someday .. I'll be able to reach what I aimed for. Emiya Shiro (Fate/stay Night) |
| Where Kensei now stood, the large white scroll bearing the sigil of Monzaemon Chikamatsu covering most of his back where it was strapped with leather bindings, he gave of the aura of a jonin-class ninja as he turned towards the one addressing him. "Yeees.. Once in a while, the objective of a performance isnt awe. This time, our show will have a greater purpose." He said, walking towards the village well hidden beneath the groups barrier. With his prize already in his posession, the completion of this mission was a sign of Loyalty from Kensei. He couldve just as well taken the scroll, and abandoned the group. Yet there was an urge within him, a wish to please Tenshi, and as of such he had descided his best interest laid in obeying him. Closing in on the village, Kensei now observed the hightened security from outside the city-walls. With the other villages falling all around, it was to be expected, and Kensei didnt mind the added level of challenge. "My objective differs from yours, "friend". However, the means to which we fulfill our ends are the same. With strength in body and mind, we will remove iwagakures mantle of leadership, starting with the Earth-Shadow" His eyes were a flaring testimon to Kenseis will. Burning with determination and confidence, his being didnt radiate even a shred of insecurity. His arena was in front of him, the pieces put in his posession, and the rules of the game all lined up for him. His greatest stage to date. With the eyes of his new master eagerly watching, Kensei turned towards the group as they reached the gates of Iwagakure. He eyed them all from under his cloak, darkness covering his face from the nose and up. From left, to right, and back again he gazed upon the chesspieces he had been granted before Kenseis wicked grin finds their eyes. "Dogs of the Angel of Death, for this night only i will release your collars. Go to the citizens of Iwagakure. Fill their hands with labor, bottle up their heads with plans, bring the flare of Combat to their spirits and most importantly, put their kunai to use against you. In their effort to save and protect, they will fail to protect what truly matters.." "Go wild, and go strong! Only then, will i strike.." |

| “hehehe...indeed we all have different tasks yet at the same time we are all part of the larger plan...” A chuckle escaping from the man as he spoke it was clear he was taking great enjoyment in his task knowing full well that he would cause countless number of deaths indeed to the man this was some sort of game and one he would enjoy to the fullest no matter what happened. From the way the man spoke it seemed he knew Tenshi very well or at least knew him well enough to have a grasp on his methods of only telling each person their specific task, none of them knew what the others were about to do and the reasons for Tenshi using this specific method were a mystery or t least something that the man hadn’t really put much thought into. Turning his head up towards the top of the village walls the man smiled as he saw guards standing on multiple towers the security had been increased something which he had expected and it seemed Tenshi also expected such a change in the security. “It would be a great help for us if you took care of the towers before you leave Ki...” The man’s smile being cut short as he looked towards the other hooded figure that had accompanied him the persons glare cutting the man short before he could finish speaking. Never the less the hooded figure nodded signalling that the guards would be taken care of as the figure slowly faded away in some sort of flash of light what followed was the three no four guards falling to their knees inside the towers as their throats were ruthlessly and efficiently slit open the blood running down their bodies and onto the tower floor it was hard to say whether they died a quick and painless death or a slow and agonizing one all that could be said was they didn’t scream in pain but then again with their throats being slit in such a manner they couldn’t even scream if they wanted to. Licking his lips the man chuckled once again as he watched the show from the hooded figure it seemed to bring joy to the man watching the people die in the manner they did. “ohh how I would love to have Kiri...shame she belongs to Tenshi.” The man spoke while sliding a kunai along the palm of his right hand the blood slowly escaping from the cut in his hand until his palm could no longer be seen the blood covering it up entirely apart from runes that had begun to glow a soft reddish color or perhaps this was the blood giving them the color either way something was clearly happening with the man. Kneeling down to the ground he had become silent for the first time since Kensei and the others had seen him with his hand touching the ground ancient text had begun to unravel it was a red color the same red color of blood. The words themselves seemed to float over the ground around them spreading out gradually until locking themselves in place creating a circle like platform with the man being at the centre of the platform, within moments of the ancient text locking itself into position it begun to pulse ever so slightly a soft fain pulsing red lucky enough for the man he was concealed inside the barrier for now not that the pulsing was strong enough to draw attention anyway. “Now then...let the games begin.” His words being directed at Kensei and the others indicating that it was safe for them to begin whatever it was they were sent to do. He had already begin his task and the one called Kira seemed to have already begun her task as well leaving only Kensei and his task meaning at the very least this was a three part plan. |
| Kerushii watched as the ten minor shin obi split to the right, and the left seeming to appear out of thin air. She watched carefully as they began to fade in to the darkness. She stared at the empty spot from which they had appeared, knowing that there lay at least three other operatives of tenshi’s. She remembered her orders perfectly. “First, because a distraction, that no one will ever forget… then keru-chan, keep an eye on my little genin… he may not be quite up to the task that I have given him, but… its no matter. If you think he needs help, inter fear, and lend a hand.” She looked to one side, trying to judge the best distraction. Would it be a water wave that took out the outer wall? Or perhaps creating a water reservoir right in the spot where the front gate to Iwa lay. … No, there was only one possible answer that would alert all iwa residence to her return… “Frost style: twin water dragon dance!” Two purly white dragons irrupted from the ground, as water gizors. Quickly, do to her entence freezing ability, with the temperature, and the low freezing point of water, the dragons turned in to giant beings of ice. Each towered forty feet high, and twenty feet wide (wing spans) they took off in to the sky, sending out screaming challenges to the sky. A telepathic link was established to kerushii, and she directed them gently to the gates of iwa. Now my lovelies do it now! Obitorate the gates!” With a thundering sound, the gates imploded inwards as both giant beasts slammed in to them, first with shoulders, with all their body wait, and then pulling back sending an icy torrent of water that nearly froze upon impact on the gate; quickly followed by more bashing. Kerushii smiled as she sat watching, then she ran forwards still tracking the hidden shin obi, who strangely were leaving a foot path trail, that pointed right at them. The dragons shot back in to the sky, unleashing another long, drawn out cry to the heavens. |

| (Note: It's a hefty read, but only the second "Mission Day" part is important for the thread. The first half will also be posted in the team thread.) Continuing from the events in the Team Hasaki thread: 24 Hours Earlier.... Industrial District, Amegakure "Eh? Amane Fusieshutsu? Never heard a name like that before and check out that getup, what, you a hero or something," the red haired mechanic asked the shinobi whom had entered her shop moments ago. "Oh no, nothing like that," he stated while chuckling, not being able to keep his composure due to her humorous tone. She would in return introduce herself, but the reception was not so complimentary. "Nekki Kousoku you say, sounds like a name of a pet," an analysis which prompted an immediate frown by her. "Thanks for the compliment asshole!" She blurted out while simultaneously tossing the rag she was cleaning her hands with at his face. “Oi, oi!” He shouted in response, quickly swatting the rag away. The two had just met while Amane began to roam the city. His attention was drawn into a small mechanic's garage that seemed to be a family run business. It was only her, and another young man present when he first entered, so he felt no harm in asking for directions to the nearest pub. Amane was more akin to following these types of businesses because the owners usually were friendlier, or so he thought. Previously Amane lost his way, trying to find the nearest hub of information due to the expansive variety of Amegakure’s businesses. So he decided the best course of action would be to ask the locals for information, but what began as a simple inquiry for directions, ended up becoming a major involvement in future battle. Coincidentally, Nekki was taking her leave from work, an opportune moment to go for a drink, of course provided by the patronage of the gentleman standing before her. “You know, normally I should be the one asking you out for a drink,” he told her as she began to take off her jumpsuit. “Well, I’m hardly anything close to normal, so get used to it,” she replied in a witty manner. He continued to wait for her, until she was ready. To his surprise, she would look nothing like the former mechanic he met. Her red hair was down to her shoulders, and much of the soot on her face was gone, revealing her tanned skin. She sported a white tank top down to the base of her navel, with a set of brown shorts. She also wore what looked to be a big pocket as part of a belt around her waist, the length of the pocket stretched down to just above her right knee. Amane found himself staring at her figure for a lot longer than needed. She tilted her head to the right slightly, while looking at him in an odd manner. “Is something wrong?” She asked him. He blinked twice, stuttering his speech before he could answer her by saying, “Oh, uh, no…not at all.” Her head centered back, but still held the puzzled look of before. She walked passed Amane, lightly tapping his right shoulder as a signal to follow her. The two would then make their way across the busy street leading up to the most popular pub in the area, The Rainy Devil. The glass cup she held in her hand softly landed on the bar stand, causing the ice cubes in the cup to bump against each other, and onto the side of the glass, triggering a small chime that indicate her round was over. Maybe it was the way the edge of the cup pressed against her lips, or the position she held while swishing the liquid around in her cup, or the way she looked at him every time she awaited the answer to a question she asked. Amane without a doubt was enchanted by her presence. Introductions aside, the two began recollecting small bits of background information on each other. “Sunagakure was leveled?” “Yeah, just like that…,” she said in a soft melancholic tone. Their backgrounds weren’t very different from one another. Their villages shared the same fate at the hands of an unforeseen enemy. Sharing common ground however would not be the only revelation scheduled for the night, as Amane would soon discover another twisted fate on the verge of unraveling. “That’s the word on the street. Iwagakure is the prime source for Ishidourou, a type of stone used as a combustible fuel is located in one of their largest mines. The substance inside of the stone just may be what I need to create a new fuel source. My leads tell me something big is housed in one of their mines, and I bet its the Ishidourou. I dunno how I'm going to get it done, but I'm going in to check it out.” “Why pit yourself in the middle of enemy territory? Do you have any relations with Iwagakure?” “No, far from it, but I can't pass up the opportunity to get my hands on some of those stones.” “And you’re going at this alone, I presume?” “Yeah….it’s a one way ticket to hell, free of charge too.” “You’ve got to be out of your mind, either that or you’ve had too much to drink already.” “Shut up Mr. Hero. You and you’re 'safety precations', you don’t understand any-, hey wait!” Amane already began to stand up from his seat and head towards the door. He did not see any further effort be needed in the conversation. Unfortunately Nekki was not the type to be walked off on, and so she gave chase, causing a scene as she yelled out his name continuously until he turned around with a menacing stare, that of which commanded her to quiet down immediately. Momentarily she would, as he escorted her home, out of fear that she would continue to spout his named on the streets once more. Her antics would prove to be costly though, as a trio of unidentified men began to walk behind them. Nekki quickly identified them as bounty hunters and apologized for shouting his name like that, not knowing why he was being chased after. They would soon arrived at her home, a small shack above the garage he came to before. Nekki had a preference for living close to her workplace much like in Sunagakure, and in Amegakure she lucked out as well. “Up the stairs,” she ordered, seeing as the bounty hunters were still giving chase. The entrance to the home was located in an alley between buildings. They turned into the alley and entered a door to the right which Nekki closed immediately after. She offered him the place to stay for the night in order to dodge the patrol. He had no choice but to comply as the hunters continued to survey the area. She did her best to prepare tea, but dropped the cups when she carried them to the living room. She apologized, lowering down to pick up the shards, but Amane came to help her out. With the cups easily disposed of, providing a sobering experience for the two, it was at that time that they began to stare at each other, standing still in the middle of a dimly lit kitchen. They’re sights were fixated upon one another, for several seconds, until Nekki stepped in, enclosing her lips with his bottom lip, both of her hands resting atop his chest. Amane froze in suspense, and it took him some time before he could reciprocate the kiss back to her, but he eventually did, caressing her body as his lips moved in response to hers. That night, the two would spend together, living in the moment as if it had been their own. The following morning, Nekki was first to open her eyes, the back of her body softly nestled against Amane’s own. As her eyes adjusted to the morning light, she saw on top of the dresser, his head protector with the insignia crossed by a slash. At first she thought her vision was deceiving her after a night of heavy drinking, but when her eyesight fully adjusted, the confirmation was there in plain sight. “You’re a missing-nin,” she whispered to herself. He nudged backward and began to wake up, having the temporary time of joy quickly fade away when he realized her eyes remained fixated on the head protector. He frowned slightly, but new that eventually this side of him would be known to her. “We all have secrets better left unscathed,” he said while stroking her hair. She however did not need an explanation, for she had secrets of her own which were better left untouched. “I’ve made up my mind. Tomorrow, I’m going to Iwagakure,” she stated seconds later. “Are you sure?” “Hell bent,” she assured. “I see, well then there’s no use convincing you otherwise.” “Guess not……hey can I ask you something?” “Yeah what is it?” “Why go through all this, why go rogue, leave everything behind, and become a target.” Amane let out a sigh, not wanting to dwelve upon the subjecy he had been asked about over and over again. This time did not seem too different from the others, and he would answer her inquiry with the same level of passion and commitment he had answered previously to those whom had asked him before. “Because, life isn’t just my village, there is an entire experience outside of our villages that we haven’t lived, and until I've experienced that, I won’t know whether or not I’m truly alive.” “Heh…..you're such a dreamer.” “And still dreaming,” he confirmed. ~End Scene~ Mission Day They descended down to the garage. Its doors were still sealed since the business had not opened yet. She laid out a map on top of a work bench of Iwagakure. Indicating which areas would be of interest on the upcoming mission. “Here, we’ll be coming in from the southern cliffs around the border of the village. Climbing equipment provided, we’ll take the high road for reconnaissance. Once we reach the top and the coast is clear, our objective is to gather intel on the mine’s location, not to get involved with the village folk. We’ll sneak into the mine to gather the Ishidourou, and then we leave.” “That’s it?” “Yeah, that’s it,” she replied. “You’ll be serving as insurance in case things get a little complicated,” she added. “Complicated? Oh right, espionage,” he sighed in disbelief. Nekki decided to contract Amane as backup while she performed surveillance over Iwagakure. The price was fair due to her economic situation, and the reward would be enough to keep the group sustained as they ventured out of Amegakure, so he decided to comply, on the condition that they would abort should the situation become life threatening. They were to leave towards the evening, under the guise of the night. Nekki and Amane would travel by one of the sand bikes she kept under development in Sunagakure. This model however was ready for travel and rarely used unless for extended travel. Amane came back to the slums where the group was staying at, through the early evening. He made sure to sneak in through one of the home’s windows so as to not cause a stir. He would retrieve his equipment and leave a letter to the Genin and Senken, apologizing for his recent disappearance, as well as to leave Senken in charge of the group. He also provided them funds to take care of any food expenses until he returned. He met with Nekki back at the shop, the gate was still closed as it seemed that the business was shut down for the day. This wasn't the same Nekki he met before however, as her appearance would change once more. Her hair was tied up in a manner that made it look like she had shorter hair. She also wore clothes similar to a kunoichi, complete with a makeshift brown jonin vest across her chest. Nekki readied herself, securing two backpacks onto a large motor bike, the likes Amane has never seen before. The machine astounded him. Every little detail down to the paintjob was perfectly executed, mystifying him as to what the true identity of the woman he had just recently met. "So I'll be in charge of reconasance for mission right?" "With the granting of a few liberties yes," she answered. "So no involvement with the villagers?" "No, it's understandable given your situation. The last thing we need is your head on a silver platter. Remember our main focus is to find the Ishidourou." "And then what? "Well, we take it of course." "Typical, are you mad? There's no way the two of us would make it out of there alive." "Then refuse the offer, it's as simple as that. I'll go at it alone." After a brief moment of hesistation Amane accepted the offer, reminding her while he confirmed, "Just don't do anything stupid, for your sake." "Right, for my sake." The engine of the motor bike roared loudly like a savage beast when she inserted a key into the ignition. She walked back over to the work bench, looking for a certain mechanism that would unlock the garage door open. As the metal shutter began to rise, Amane felt himself tense up some. Nekki swung her right leg over the seat of the bike until she found a suitable spot to sit in. She used her body to lean the bike in alignment with the door. Once the ideal location was met, Amane sat behind her as the engine continued to roar. "So, why is it you need this Ishidourou for anyway? It seems to me that you have quite the fuel source for this thing," Amane inquired. "I never did tell you why I needed that fuel source did I? Well, let's just say that this bike is child's play compared to what I have that fuel source in mind for," she answered while reving the enging one last time before the zoomed off into the streets of Amegakure, en route to the Land of Earth. |

| The sound of the gate being smashed by a powerful jutsu rang across the landscape. Its delighful tint of destruction reached Kenseis ears, who adorned a wide grin. "The Serenade has barely begun, and already the fans are rioting~" He said dreamingly. He turned his attention to the one which had addressed him earlyer, still hiding his face beneath the cloak given by Tenshi. "You have front-row seats to the spectacle my friend. As every performer knows, a good backup can save even the greatest failures of shows. I expect you to stay close.." He said, indicating in his tone that he would not take no for an answer. His task was daunting, and despite his arrogance he was not stupid, this disciple of Tenshi's would become useful should Kensei fail. With elegant motions, Kensei curled his index finger on both his hands, causing two scrolls to come flying out of their chest-straps into his hands. Crossing his arms, he unfurls both scrolls in a cross-pattern. With two consecutive poofs, Kensei is joined by the Takezo Twins; Arachne and Scorpus, both having been fitted with cloaks identical to the one Kensei was now wearing. "My lovelies, shall we?~" He said, nearly singing it. The only thing he needed now, was chaos. Nodding towards the talkative one of Tenshi's disciples, he motions for them to move out and proceeds to leap ontop of the wall with his two puppets. The hour of Shattered Rock was at hand. |

| It’s been a sleepless night for Sayu. She kept waking up to a cold sweat every now and then while still trying to force herself to sleep in her small rundown home that she managed to get a hold of. The outside was quiet as any other nights, but something didn’t seem right with her. It was an unsettling feeling she could not comprehend. To rid herself of the feeling, she climbed to the rooftop over looking the dim lighting that lit the village. The cool wind had dried up the sweat that coated her skin and she felt it cracking apart as she made facial expressions out of boredom. She was hoping laying down on the roof shingles high above ground was gonna do her some good with more sleeping hours as it seems these past few days, she’s been suffering from insomnia. It really didn’t help. She finally gave up on the thought. The day was already approaching too and it’d be a waste if she spend anymore time pondering her lack of sleep lately. She crunched down preparing to jump off. It was then that her attention was focused on a loud, shrieking roar. It was so distinctive but felt so far away too. “What the hell was that?” She asked herself while looking straight ahead in the surrounding areas and from behind her. She couldn’t pinpoint the direction it came from but it definitely wasn’t something she could ignore. And she knows the patrolling shinobis are investigating it as well. Leaping off from her rooftop to another, she had to make sure what it was. Her speed accelerated as she continues on, keeping close focus on all parts of the village heading towards the front gates of the village. If anything, it’d be the front gates that perpetrators would be able to come through. A few minutes later, an explosion of some sort was heard with loud clinking noises coming from the metal and wood pieces that held the gates together. And she was right there to see it. Her heart sank deeply, as she halted her movements looking at the front gates where frozen ice was spread everywhere and finally thinning out. Cold air was floating just a little above the ice area but filled the entrance completely that she wasn’t able to see what it was that crashed through. Were her unwavering feelings tonight predicting this outcome? Not that it was relevant anymore. As the images before her went into a blur, and voices from all over became part of the background noises, she stood still trying to fit all the puzzles together. Is there something going on that our village is not informed of? Enemies? How was it possible to have something strong and probably big enough to walk through the paths to the entrance without getting noticed by the guards? As questions piled up in her head, she came to the conclusion that she needed to check where the guards were. At least then, it will give her some sort of clue if they were being attacked from outsiders |

| The crash at the gates alerted Mariko that she was out of time. She herded the last academy student into the shelter and then hurried to assess the situation and begin the defense. Mariko was surprised to feel a familiar presence and turned around in time to see the blur of a girl and hear her name cried out as Kaori threw herself into a full body hug, grappling and almost toppling her. When she had regained her composure, squeezed back to try and comfort her anxiety and Kaori had let her go she immediately questioned why Kaori was in the village. She hadn't seen her since the last Tsuchikage had been in power and was shocked to find her back now on the brink of a battle for the village. "What are you doing here?" "I came to help silly." Kaori replied. Mariko sighed. "You'll burn the village to the ground before you help anyone..." Kaori's face was struck with a sharp pain the reproach forming tears in the corner of her eyes. Mariko immediately regretted what she had said. The tension was getting to her and she had taken it out on Kaori, who needed delicate treatment, like a child. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean that." Kaori sniffled and the budding tears were stopped. "Really? So I can help?" "Of course..... just, try to be careful, okay?" Kaori nodded her head and sounded her agreement brightening up immediately. Mariko's mind wandered back to the sound at the gates and formed a plan. "Kaori, can you go defend the gates?" She nodded again, the same wordless noise uttered in compliance. Mariko hadn't noticed it at first, but it was steadily becoming clearer that something wasn't right with Kaori. She didn't seem like the same girl as before who was childish and irresponsible and incompetent at everything but killing and eating people, but she could not tell why. It was something about her, the way she acted and spoke, or didn't speak. Mariko did not know what had happened to her since she had seen her last but something definitely had and it had changed her greatly. Mariko was drawn into another hug, this time it was less energetic. "Goodbye Mariko" Kaori leaned back to give Mariko a kiss, landing half on her lips and half on her cheek, she squeezed her once more and whispered to her "Stay safe." Mariko saw something she had never seen before in Kaori as she turned, summoned a dragon from her Hellfire and headed off to the gates, saying goodbye with her eyes but not her hands. Mariko's chest suddenly felt tight and she saw Kaori's goodbye as a final farewell and she now felt like crying. As Kaori flew on top of her dragon to the gates Mariko paused to whisper the farewell that she had been too slow to give before. "Goodbye Kaori" her throat caught as she tried to add 'Stay safe' and she stopped herself, a lone tear running down her cheek as she turned her back on the gate. |

| (this part is only significant to Motion but you can read if you want:P) 2 hours before the attack on Iwagakure Several hours had passed since Yukio had taken his leave from Konagakure. His only sleep had been while on Terry which was an uncomfortable sleep and at best he had only gotten five hours of sleep. His eyes began to open as the sun had began to rise or what resembled a lighter shade of darkness. He stretched out his body while letting out a deep sigh. I can't believe Kona is gone...... I did my best and helped quite a few civilians get out but it wasn't enough to prevent anymore deaths.. I just hope I can get to Iwagakure in time to warn them.. or at least help them try to repel there attack. he thought to himself as he finally stood up. "Sleeping beauty awakes.. I must say that six hours of silence was some of the best time I have ever spent with you." Terry teased. "You seem to be in a good mood Terry, Did you wake up on the right ohhh that's right you didn't get any sleep." he retorted playfully "You know I could always do a barrel role and launch you off of me." the bird replied unamused. "Ohhh come now Terry no need to be such a sore sport." he said in a high tone as he lightly prodded Terry's back with his foot. The bird just sighed as it didn't want too argue with him further as Yukio and continued to fly on. He spotted something out of the corner of his eye and it looked like a small dust devil but it was moving faster then any dust devil he had seen. As he got closer he could make out the thing and it appeared to be a vehicle of some sorts. "Hey Yukio check out that vehicle ahead of us... Rather peculiar don't you think? Yukio quickly spotted the vehicle and wondered if it was a possible attacker headed for his beloved village of Iwagakure or just a regular traveler that just happened to be headed towards his village. Either way he was going to find out who they where. "Terry take us down... I want to find out who this is." he said calmly. Terry just nodded and began to descend rather quickly. A large winged shadowed quickly passed over Amanes bike. It looked like a large bird and they could barely make out a blonde figure on top of it. The bird landed a good 100 yards ahead of Amanes bike. As they approached closer they could make out a teenage boy that was about the age of Nekki. Time of the Attack Deiji had trained rather hard the day before with her brother Daisuke. She was exhausted and had slept in later the usual. It was rather nice as it was peaceful and she hadn't a care in the world. A loud ear shattering shriek could be heard and this woke her immediately. What the hell was that? she thought to herself as she rubbed her eyes. She looked over at her clock to see that it was later in the morning and realized she had overslept. "Fuck... I overslept... This isn't good." she said with a sigh as she lazily got out of bed and began to get dressed. Daisuke intern came barging into his sisters room. "Deiji wake up an explosion has ju..." he stopped immediately as he had saw his sister in nothing but her underwear. Deiji immediately covered up and menacing look came upon her. "Daisuke get the fuck out of my room!!!" she said angerly as she through a lamp at him. He immediately ducked and ran out the door as his sister continued to through various objects at him. "Sorry sis I uuh..." he was immediately cut off. "You could always knock you prick!!!!" she shouted "Sis I'm sorry... You can beat me later but something has happened... There has been an explosion at the gate... We don't know what it is exactly but dad said it could be a possible attack.. Both of them have headed for the city gate." he said frantically. Deiji was caught off guard by this and didn't know what to say. All she could do was get dressed immediately. Within 2 minutes she was ready. There's no way there could be an attack here.. I mean we are safe right? I mean who could have the oddasity too.. No keep calm we don't even know if this is an attack or not.. All we can do is get to the gate and see what is going on she thought to herself as she walked out the door to see her brother leaning against the wall with a distressed look on his face. Daisuke wasn't one to show any emotions and this worried her. "Daisuke are you okay?" "Yeah... I'm okay just a little worried about what has been going on.. I mean Kiri and Suna don't exist anymore and I heard Kona was attacked several hours ago what if.." he was cut off abruptly by Deiji. "Don't worry little brother.. I'm sure it is nothing. Now lets get to the gate and see what is going on." she said in a reassuring tone. "Hey don't call me little... You are only older then me by a minute!" he retorted. "Now there is the Daisuke I know... Now lets get going and see what are orders are." Daisuke nodded and with that they headed off towards the main gate. |

| The usually talkative man went silent for a bit seemingly ignoring both the loud explosions from the front gate and what Kensei was saying this only served to show how focused he was on the steady glowing seal he had placed on the floor the pulsing from the seal in itself was sort of an alluring color and noise it was just a shame that nobody could exactly see it yet. After a moment of watching the seal the man rose back to his feet his long black cloak looking very similar to that of the one Kensei wore only that the man’s looked like something a rich and powerful noble would wear. The cloak had ran across the ground as the man rose back to his feet a smile of excitement forming on the man’s face as he let the words Kensei spoke sink into his head he was about to see what Kensei was here for and even better still he would see it first hand, his day couldn’t get any better everything was going along perfectly for his amusement. “Hoho this is going to be rather interesting.” The chuckle escaping the man’s lips as he followed behind Kensei and his puppets, the puppets only served to make Kensei more interesting since it seemed puppet users were now a dying breed and he had only heard stories of how powerful a puppet user could be. With the shinobi being drawn to the grand ice dragons it meant very little security remained to obstruct Kensei and the man still though as much as he seemed careless truthfully he was very cautious and the barrier still remained up sealing the presence of them both inside it. Problem was both him and Kensei still needed to remain on guard in case anybody was to step inside the barrier this would cause them to be able to see both Kensei and himself also projectiles could still pass through and hit them its only purpose was to keep them concealed and that was all. “I wonder if Kira is here to cause a distraction as well...” The man shook his head while smiling unlike many he took great pleasure in not knowing everything it gave him more excitement this way seeing as if he knew everything then it would be boring since he would know how everything would turn out, yes not knowing everything was much better it was much more fun this way. The fact that Kira had gone silent was of no importance to him seeing as they had the person that created the large twin dragons was acting as a distraction for now and they did have the group of shinobi that had been ordered to draw attention to themselves. For now they had plenty of distractions besides if they all went off at the same time the distraction could be over before it ever truly began. ((@psy: are you going to control the shinobi NPC on our side?)) |
| Kerushii was crouched down, at the base of the wall to the left of where the gate once stood. She was hiding in the shadows, trying to think. She wore the black cloak that signified that she was with tenshi, but underneath…underneath she wore her old iwa jonin outfit. She still had her head band as well, which she was now wearing. Regretfully, she let the cloak slip from her shoulders, to pool like a shadow at her feet. She moved, running out in to the open yelling at the top of her lungs, at a group of iwa chunin. “You! The hell do you think your doing? Get your asses that way, and alert the tsuchikage that the front gates have been destroyed!” she waved her hands rapidly. Just seeing her jonin out-fit, they obeyed with out question. Kerushii smiled, turning to face the inside of the village. Framed with the gate above her, or what was left of it, she gazed at a site that made her physically sick. A bright light, with in the village but high above was rushing down on her location. She new that hellish light, she new it well. It belonged to an old friend, the girl who had trained her to become a jonin. The game would be up immediately when Kayori saw her… Well… this creates a sort of change of plans I would say… I will need to deal with Kayori, before I can help the little boy complete his task…My lovelies, fly high, join the heavens and swoop down when I call…Stay out of site, until then… “What on earth is she doing in side the village? … Did the new tsuchikagu not get the memo, that what ever Kayori touches she breaks…ah well; the chore of destruction will be that much easier with her around…” Kerushii whispered to herself, gazing up at the light coming fast. |
| ◦It feels so close to me, yet i can't grasp it even if i extend my hands. Even so ... Even if i cant reach it ... there are things that will stay in my heart. Being in the same time and looking up at the same sky, If i can remember that, then even when we are apart from each other, I believe that we can be together. I will run forward now. If i set my goal far enough, then someday .. I'll be able to reach what I aimed for. Emiya Shiro (Fate/stay Night) |
| Mariko dashed in between the smaller shelters and made plans for everyone to move into the main shelter in the mountain side and then she made her way towards the center of the village to meet up with the main defensive force and to tell the Tsuchikage her plans. Before she had got halfway to her destination she froze. There were suddenly a large number of cloaked figures in the street in front on her. They felt dangerous and she froze as one of them turned to look at her. She opened her mouth to shout "INTRUDERS!" causing the entire party to turn towards her, she turned to run. --- --- Kaori spotted the ice at the gates and sniffed the air curiously, her head snapped to a certain location on the ground and her eyes narrowed as the hellfire dragon began it's descent. Her eyes were cold and harsh and held only the piercing glare of a hunter about to kill. Kaori raised her head to the sky and let loose a hellish battle cry, the voice of the pit fiend substituting her own and turning her falsetto shout into a deep thundering bass that rumbled and shook the entire village, the ice crusted on the gates and outer walls was cracked and began to fall apart. All the Iwa shinobi posted at the gates and outer walls, not yet dead, fled at the sound back towards the safety of the inner village. They all knew who Kaori was and were not going to commit suicide by being anywhere near her when she was about to fight. The hellfire dragon Kaori was riding on shot down towards Kerushii as Kaori jumped off in mid air, a pair of black leathery wings sprouting out of her back to keep her airborne. With a flash of hand seals Kaori summons a raging ball of hellfire behind her, nine snake-like limbs forming and ending in a threatening maw. The heads fanned out around Kaori protectively, swaying back and forward, appearing restless but not yet making a move. |

One Hour Before (Due to the spirits residing in Hen’s body when Havoc is not ‘possessing’ her the spirits take control of her body and as such Havoc locks her in a cage so that she cannot go out to roam/destroy the world.) ‘Current Location: In Havoc’s abode beneath Iwagakure, specifically inside Henrietta’s cage.' *Our voice echoes throughout the empty halls, like a breeze flowing through an abandoned stronghold.* “She built her home in tear drops And gave her heart to the sky. She tied up leaves Around her sleeves And pretended she could fly. One morning in mid-Winter On a day that felt more like Spring, She opened her ears To the sound of tears And imagined she could sing. Overhead the birds would sweep In sunshine or in rain. Part of a crowd They were happy and proud And ignorant of her pain. With a final farewell to teardrops She climbed the tallest tower... In her silent voice She made her choice Knowing freedom was in her power. With her gaze up to the heavens She felt then only peace, As she took one step more That trailed across the floor She finally sought release. The world lit up in sun beams As she soared high on makeshift wings, And the birds gathered round Because they had found They could hear music when she sings.” *We stop singing when we hear the sounds of footsteps following after our song down the halls.* Kaori: "Hey, Hen, are you in there? I'm going to let you out, but you have to promise to be good, kay?" Hen: “Sister Hen isn’t here now but we are here sister Kaori, we will be good.” Kaori: "Okay, but stay here and don't cause any trouble until I call for you. Can you do that?" Hen: “Yes! We want to help our sister, she is like us.” *As soon as sister opened the cage we had to get out, we don’t like to annoy sister but we don’t like being underground* Hen: “We will wait in the sky for you sister, we will answer your call.” Current Time *High above Iwagakure flying among the clouds on the back of the gale dragon we hear the bellow of the pit fiend. The time has come and we have been summoned, our demon sister is calling for our aid and we shall answer her call. We dive immediately, we must not be late, and we must help our sister. We halt our descent rapidly, a large gust of wind howling downwards and into the hydra fuelling the fire, and hover (One with the Wind) next to our sister, her tails of fire blazing brilliantly, displaying her power for the mortals to see.* *The dragon of wind (Gale Release: Gale Dragon) we had been riding continues on after we halt, catching up with our sisters fire and intertwining with it, increase its volume and size, its destructive power increasing exponentially.* (Appearance: *The newly arrived girl’s hair billows about her, not as if a wind was blowing it but as if she was the wind, her hair being softly blown away from her body. As the girl starts to speak her voice is light and wispy, like it would drift away with the wind.* “We have come sister, we are so delighted to be free of our prison, we wish to see destruction with you, and to show these mortals that we are the queens of this world.” (Starting cp = 250cp Dragon = 5cp One with the Wind = -15cp Remaining cp = 230cp) |

"A sentence is like skirt length. The shorter the better, but it has to cover all of the important bits" - Some guy, learnt from Tali |
| Kerushii looked up, her eyes never leaving the blazing sky. Her eyes were riveted upon the fiery-form of a one time ally, now a furious enemy. The figure bellowed in rage, matching the sound that the icy dragons had unleashed just before the appearance of the girl. As her stead bucked her free, and began its noble charge down upon kerushii, another figure appeared in the sky. The hydra, which intwined itself around kayori, grew larger, becoming a second sun to keru. The flying dragon bearing down on her? It was now a giant, being increased by the gale winds produced by the other girls mount. Kerushii blinked in astonishment...how on earth, would she be able to defend herself from such a fearsome duo? Tenshi, I am sorry... I believed, the task you have assigned me is quite impossible...however, I will buy your servant enough time to complete his task...the barter, being my life...my lovelies, I want you now, be more silent then the wind, stir not the air as you descend...descend though, and do it swiftly! Kerushii moved, using her incredible speed to her advantage. The dragons in the sky bearing down upon her were quite fast, but even so she would have enough time to move out of the epicenter of the blast. she flashed hand signs together rapidly, looking upwards. Her genkai activated, the temperature dropping rapidly, frost appearing on her skin. "Please, let this work...Water release, great waterfall basin technique..." Around kerushii, water from the air solidified, dropping to the ground in a giant rush. Out of her mouth pored water as well, being summoned from god knows ware. With in a matter of moments of the jutsu being activated, a block of ice stood where she had been, fifteen feet high, by six feet wide. She lay at the bottom of it, eyes closed skin a deathly pale. The dragons would hit the top, probably melting the entire block of ice; but no matter how hot fire was, with enough water it would be doused. Of coarse, do to waters low boiling point the water would be hotter then hell, in more ways then one. Just as the block of ice was formed, two glittering blurs appeared from the clouds directly above kayori. Hurtling down out of the heavens, silent as death came four tons of water filled ice dragons, headed right for kayori's back, which happened to be the hydra at this point in time. When the dragons hit they would explode on impact, sending out a giant ice cold wave of water. (The dragon’s bodies are about fifteen feet in diameter, you decide how much water can be contained with in them; there bodies are filled with it, it’s what powers their water breathing jutsu) ((Starting CP=267 -10 for ice dragons way back in second post, -10 upkeep for two posts, -1 cp for basin -10 for temperature drain extreme, cp= 236)) _______ "Ah, the smell of blood is in the air, it reminds me of the hunt...Only if the master had told me I was aloud to partake in havoc...in the destruction freely...but no, I am to make sure that that brat Tenshi's plans do not go wrong...Fucking brat...He is so lucky that I do not tare his throat out..." The voice wavered in a sharp growl. The eyes peering out of the depths of the cloak were a strange yellow color, almost as if they belonged to a wolf. The figure was slightly hunched, gazing at the walls of iwa. He had been a bit late, not being able to be transferred in to the village like the main attack force...after all, he was a spy not one of tenshi's little slaves. Mei, his master had assigned him to look over the mission that tenshi was accomplishing. After all, tenshi was new at the destruction of villages. It had been years sense the last time that He had been in this area...It brought back old memories. He wondered briefly if his beloved still lived in side...but only briefly. His thoughts were on food, the blood from near by amplifying the entence hunger...The screech of the initial battle cry of the dragons did not faze him at all. His attention was completely riveted upon the path of the child, and his partner. He followed it quickly, but not to quickly. When kayori let forth her battle cry, he glanced up is sharp predator eyes taking in the shape above the village. He did not know the person up there, but it did not bother him. IT must be hunting, if it was yelling like that, and sense it was hunting, it must have found its prey. "I hate birds...they are so loud on the hunt... can not it just strike and eat...fucking..." He turned his attention back to the trail. he brought his cloak up, leaving only his eyes visible, slipping in to the shadows...the targets were just in front of him...possibly by five feet...No jutsu could Pearce the barior erected, and no eye could see them...but when you do not shower for a week, a wolf will always pick up your cent. |

| Three hours into the journey, the pair were well into the hear of the Land of Earth. The guise of the night seemed almost too perfect for them to zip past the open road connecting Amegakure to Iwagakure. However, their location could be compromised at any moment due to the headlight of the bike shining brightly against the darkened road. A crisp, spring time wind brushed against Nekki and Amane as she cranked the throttle up to top speed. The wind had seemed to have kicked up some, but what had really happened was that the two were being followed. Not from behind, nor from either side of the bike, but from up above. Amane could sense the presence of a profound source of chakra via the Five Tails, and warned Nekki to slow down. "Nekki, we are being watched, easy on the throttle. I can't sense malintent by the chakra," Amane informed her. "There you go being all Mr. righteous again," she responded while letting go of the throttle some. The engine of the bike roared before quieting down some as Nekki changed gears. Seconds later, a large bird like creature flew past them, making its descent several yards in front of them while a lone shinobi rode on its back. As they drew closer, they could visibly see his band from Iwagakure while he prompted them to stop. "Slow down," Amane asked her, and after sucking her teeth, Nekki brought the bike into a smooth halt about ten feet from the shinobi. "I'll go talk to him," Nekki told Amane, after she turned off the engine to the bike. The bike's headlight remained own however, so that there was enough light for vision. Nekki climbed off the bike, and began walking towards the large bird like creature until she stopped right under the bird's beak. "I suppose you're the border patrol?" Nekki asked the shinobi. |
| Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? ~Senjougahara Hitagi |
| "No... You have it backwards... I am on the way back to Iwagakure as I was in Konagakure several hours ago. There was an attack and the village is gone.. I am now on my way to Iwagakure to warn them as I have a bad feeling that Iwagakure might be next.." he said with a sigh as he puts his arm down. "It is a bit suspicious though that I run into you guys in this part of Iwagakure where there is no road.. Also I see you guys a driving a contraption that I have never seen before. It leads me to wonder if you two are enemy shinobi.. I travel these parts and no normal traveler would ever take this route unless they didn't want to be detected.. So enlighten me as to why you two are out here?" he said calmly. |
| (Of course, this is an utterly blatant lie~ xD) "Worry not," she said with a smile as her hands now rested at her hips. "My husband and I are a pair of archaeologists from Amegakure. They reason we came up here is because we've heard rumors of a stone called Ishidourou located in Iwagakure. It has been said that it's contents can be used as a fuel source. We're here to confirmed that hypothesis." She pointed behind her with her thumb towards Amane, when she referred to his scroll, "That large scroll on his back is used to record our findings, the rest are supplies used for excavation. We were hoping we could get permission from the Tsuchikage in order to do so, but meeting you here seems to be a run of luck for us tonight. I don't suppose you could help us out some?" |
| Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? ~Senjougahara Hitagi |
| Yukio laughed as he hadn't heard a lie that bad in awhile. If he wasn't so easygoing he would have found it insulting. When his laughter subsided he looked back at the her and smiled. "I havent heard a lie that bad in awhile because if you were archeologists you would have stuck to the main roads and an Iwagakure shinobi would have been sent to assist you." He then pointed at Amane and giggled a bit. "As for the marriage I'm pretty sure that is a lie as you are about my age saying he was your boyfriend would have been way more believable." he then composed himself and looked Nekki in the eyes. "Sooo would you please tell me what you are really doing here? I have enough on my plate as it is and would like to avoid a fight but I can't do that unless I know the reason you two are here." he said in a honest tone. |
| The smile on her face quickly faded away when the nin began laughing out loud. She despised being laughed at, be it unintentional or not. Her arms gave off from her hips as they swayed at her sides. At the same time, Amane got off from the bike, sensing something had gone wrong by the way the Iwa nin began to laugh. She went silent for several seconds before she could respond to him. "I see, so you saw through the bluff," she said softly while cocking back her left hand in a fist. "Too bad for you, for guessing righ-" her fist sailed towards the front of the nin's face, but before any contact was made her arm was caught and stopped by Amane. He seemingly appeared in between them in an instant, a trademark of his swift release. "Don't do it," Amane told her in an assertive tone. "His chakra isn't tainted," he told her again while letting go of her hand. Amane then faced the nin, expressing a stoic look. "Right now, the two us can easily take you out. It's unfortunate that our paths meet, but what is done is done. We are here for the stones, like it or not we are going for them. You either comply with us here, or have you're fate sealed in this darkened road," he proposed, using another bluff to get inside the head of the Iwa nin. |

| Kaori did not bat an eyelid as Kerushii defended against her hellfire dragon. She may not be smart or good with tactics but she had good, solid instincts from a lifetime of fighting and after having fought Kerushii before she was not even mildly surprised by her actions. Before the dragon, joined by Henrietta's own wind dragon, had melted through the block of ice Kaori was already weaving together her next move with hand signs. The ice block was hit with the full force of both dragons, each feeding the others power to create a firestorm on impact that ravaged the frozen barrier. The block of ice melting under the assault, but not before taking the full force of both dragons with it. All that was left of the clash now lay in a pool of super-heated water and steam clouds around Kerushii. The attack did not appear to have had any effect on her herself but the evaporating sea of almost molten waters made it difficult to control the temperature of anything but her own body. Kerushii was granted no respite, as soon as the first attack was over the second had begun. A large fireball in the shape of a dragon's head exploding out from the ground underneath her. It was joined almost instantly by five more, rising up to form a pentagon around Kerushii's position. A wall of fire rose with them, intertwined between each dragon's head to form the shape of a pentagram in which Kerushii was placed at the center. The entire attack was executed in a split second from the time the first fireball burst forth. A tribute to and result of the mastery Kaori held over Ninjutsu and her ability to use combine ordinary jutsu into something incredibly potent.  As the dragon fire balls rose fully out of the ground and the wall of fire leaped to its full height the inside of the pentagram created was ignited and a pillar of fire rose upwards from the ground high above the village, a beacon of destruction. The air being singed and shimmering with heat hundreds of meters away from the blast. One nearby building was almost completely destroyed while several others were roasted with a charred black ash. It was lucky that the village hidden in the stone was true to it's name or there would be nothing left but cinders. ~In the Sky~ Kaori took no notice of the dragons above, it was not clear if she did not know they were there or simply did not care. However, she was finally prompted into action when she saw Henrietta make her move, now there was no question of her knowing they were there. Kaori lazily ordered the hydra to deal with the problem for her. Eight of the nine heads moved in an efficient and organised manner, snaking out above to intercept the dragons. The heads split into pairs with each pair closing in around and encircling one dragon, the heads moving up past the dragons as they came down and spiraling around to wrap and pincer the dragons with their fiery necks. The ice quickly begins to melt under the pressure of the choking grip and soon loses shape to break apart into the water that formed it. One head from each pair losing it's flame to the frigid ice and tracking back to the core to split in two and regrow. The water in the sky was released to a cloud of steam as four of the hellfire hydra's remaining heads clashed with it in the air. |

| ~In the Sky~ *As sister used her tails of fire to melt the ice a large amount of water began to fall. We moved quickly; winds howling all around the area, a storm being brewed (Howling Winds) as dark clouds begin to cover the sky. The fires of the hydra being fueled by the constant refreshment of oxygen but that what not be enough to stop the water. Without any hesitation two large hands (Violent Gale Palm) were formed out of air, the compacted air moving so tightly within the form of hands that they were as if the wind was solid. These hands shot upwards, 'punching' the water before it spilled out of its original shape, the force of the wind palms blowing the water back upwards and crashing it into the above above resulting in an 'explosion' of water. The water spreading out all around so as to fall in a rain rather than a column, any droplets getting near the hydra being turned to steam.* ~On the Ground~ *We leave the ground to sister for our and focus protecting the sky however the dragon heads and walls of flame on the ground begin the flare with life as they are fueled from the swirling winds (Howling Winds from above paragraph), fresh sources of oxygen being continually pushed into the flames* (Howling winds is like a 'terrain' jutsu. It does not harm anyone however dark clouds cover the sky as gale force winds blow through the area. Any wind or fire techniques used while the wind is blowing are stronger.)

"A sentence is like skirt length. The shorter the better, but it has to cover all of the important bits" - Some guy, learnt from Tali |
| "Hey I recognize you... Could it be? Ohhh my god it is... You are Amane the Jinchuriki from Kirigakure. I must say it is rather random running into you here." he said cheerfully as he was not intimidated by Amane at all in fact the thought of possibly fighting a Jinchuriki excited him as it would give him a chance to see how his gates would fair. "The fact that you guys think you could beat me sooo easily hurts my ego a bit but then again I have just barely started making a name for myself so it is understandable that you would think I'd be a typical drab shinobi, Well anyway let me introduce myself, I am Yukio Shizuoka and I am the youngest of the lords of the underground. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." he said with a smile as he offered Amane his hands. "You want those rocks? I have a preposition for you but you would have to do something for me as well. I mean I could get you into the village and you wouldn't have to sneak in." he said calmly as he awaited Amanes response. |
| He was slightly startled by the fact that the young nin immediately recognized him. His eyes opened slightly then he became visibly upset for having to interject between Yukio and Nekki. His identity had been compromised, which did not help the mission at all. From here on out, the outcome came down to two decisions. One, dispose of the nin right here and proceed, or two, cooperate and hope that he is telling the truth. Nekki also fell into alarm quietly whispering into his ear, "Amane, this is bad.....," "But killing him here would surely prove disastrous. He is part of an elite group, they'll come looking for him eventually," he responded. Amane hesitated to shake Yukio's hand, because of his years of experience and dealings Iwagakure. Instead, he cross his arms in front of his chest, awaiting to hear this proposal. "We don't shake hands until we've accepted the offered. So then, let's hear it." |
| Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? ~Senjougahara Hitagi |
| There was no doubt in anyone's mind now...the village was under attack. The alarm went off, thousands of shinobi took their battle stations and the kage would be taken to a shelter undergr-...wait...where did she go? |
 |
| He sighed and retracted his wrapped hand. He wasn't surprised by Amanes reaction at all as he was an Iwagakure ninja and thanks to the old regime a lot of shinobi still hold them with such disdain. He had hoped the younger generation that had nothing to do with the various acts of aggression would be looked at differently. He was dead wrong but was optimistic to show through his actions that there are still honorable shinobi left in Iwagakure. "Well I know for a fact that an attack on Iwagakure is imminent.. I witnessed the Kazakage destroy Konagakure with the Kuromachis.. The fact of the matter is the old regime left us in a bit of a mess as we lost quite a few shinobi fighting this pointless wars with Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure. I personally only fought in the conflict in Sunagakure... But that was about it.. I would hope that you wouldn't blame me for the sins of the shinobi that came before me.. The fact of the matter is my village needs as much help as it can get.. If I help you get you into the village and get that rock you need, would you help me defend my village? I will also help you in whatever future endeavors you might have as I know my request is a big one and a couple rocks can't simply be enough. " he said eloquently as he offered his wrapped right hand to Amane. |

| "That's a bold move you made just now young man," Amane stated in a cautious tone. He sighed again, taking a moment to look back towards Nekki who shrugged at the offer. He knew however, that to her, this opportunity was too good to pass up on. So he proceeded to answer the nin. "Those attacks weren't pointless, for if they were, then they would not have taken place. The world is filled with those whom wish to carry out their intentions in a brute manner, which often results in pointless bloodshed. I will not blame you for what happened to my village, nor claim revenge for it, because that would make me look as fickle as those whom caused us harm." After a quick nod towards Nekki, Amane gripped Yukio's hand firmly as a sign of acceptance. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend or so they say. Let us end the cycle of hatred tonight, and carve a new path for the future generations to follow!" At the brief moment when the two hands met each other, a simultaneous string of explosions rang off in the distance towards Iwagakure. A vibrant display of jutsu filled the air as a signal that the invasion had already begun. |

| "Well said old man... I look forward to bringing this blood shed to an end and to protect those dear to me." he said with a smile. He then let go of Amane's hand and began to walk toward his condor Terry motioning them to follow him. "We should take Terry, he will get us to the village faster. Also your little girlfriends taijutsu form is a bit weak... You might want to train her on that as that punch looked like it was coming at me from slow motion, basic sunagakure form of taijutsu by the looks of it." he teased as he jumped onto Terry. During the attack Deiji and Daisuke rushed through the streets headed for the eastern gate to see what there orders were. Everything was a mess and the village was in panic. Many villagers trying to escape through the villages eastern gate. Deiji and Dasiuke had never really been apart of the main conflict and most of there missions had been mild at best. They were a bit lost without there brother as he tended to know what to do in these kind of situations. They continued until they ran into a familiar face as Deiji accidentally ran into the back of Sayu accept it did nothing but sway Sayu a little forward, while Deiji bounced off her landing a on and landed on her bottom. "Sayu!!! What the hell is going on? Me and Daisuke where at home sleeping when we heard a loud explosion go off... Can you tell us what is going on." she said a little frantically as she popped back up to her feet. Daisuke just remained silent as he awaited Sayus response. |
| [During the attack: Shadow/ender] Securing the bike in a safe location outside of the village, Amane and Nekki decided to take to the skies, as part of the coalition to help Iwagakure. Just as they formed their treaty, so did the chaos. Amane would be the first to be set down in the war zone, when he immediately spotted two warriors with an all too familiar chakra. Two consequent slashes tore through pillar of fire rose that upwards from the ground high above the village. From the side of the pillar closest to the village, two figures lunged out as the flames floating just above their skin until the fires completely extinguished. One was the kunoichi Kerushii, held by the belly, wrapped around another shinobi's arm. The other, the white haired nin, sporting a long red scarf around his neck, and an enormous sword? No it couldn't be described as that, not with the horrifying appearance the weapon resembled. A blade is comprised from a series of downward facing scales running along the entirety of its length until its hilt, at the base of which is a small skull, and located at the tip of the blade, was its mouth. This was Samehada, one of the legendary blades of Kirigakure. The blade continued to feast upon the flames of the previous attack while Amane set Kerushii down onto her feet. Amane was visibly taller than Kerushii yet the two were nearly equal in strength. Kerushii however, was particularly excited to see Amane, nor was he, nevertheless, the two were former comrades, and Amane was not the type to leave one to die. "Senpai, you've lost your touch," he stated to her as the large blade of Samehada rested on his right shoulder. After the blade finished its meal, a loud shriek emitted from its mouth, lusting for the desire of another snack. "I'll be back for you when this is over," he would go on to say as he began walking past her, towards the center of the village. |

| (I was hoping you would still control it, kinda shadow me and stay hidden ready to extract me should i fail) Once more, cloaked beneath the shadow of chaos, Kensei made his way through the streets pursuing his goal. Wrath, and ruin seemed to follow him wherever he set foot, as a number of prominent shinobi now used Iwagakure as their battleground. It was perfect~ A few minutes of sneaking, keen observation and plan-recital, Kensei and the cloaked Shinobi stood before the Kage manor. The tsuchikage's office clearly visible high on the building. He had noticed the heightened level of security now protecting the village-borders, but that wouldnt be a problem until later. After all, he was already within their walls when the chaos erupted thanks to the cloaked figures barrier. "Stay hidden, and observe the full extent of my art. We will now proceed to remove Iwagakures mantle of leadership, ku kuu~ Be ready to extract me should the show become too vibrant and risky, my survival is worth more then the completion of this feeble task~ Do not fail me." He said in a strange tone, as if he was trying to make a threatening point but was too excited to stay calm enough. A wild grin was on his face, and his eyes locked on the windows above. He curled his fingers, and the two puppets grabbed Kensei and the cloaked figure. "Lets raise the curtains~" With a snap of both his index fingers, the puppets sent the shinobi-duo hurdling into the air. As he approached the wall beside the furthermost window, he grabbed two kunai and lodged them into the wall as he hit it. Having aquired safe footing on the side of the building, he attached himself to the two kunai with a wire extending from his belt, allowing him to turn around away from the wall and use both hands to send the Puppet-twins flying towards them. It took only a moment for the puppets to catch up with the duo. Hovering in the air before them, they joined hands and hugged for a moment before crashing through the wall as a single wrecking-ball. Kensei lept inside in the cover of the dustcloud, and proceeded with the true goal of his mission. "Prepare yourself, Tsuchikage! Today you will become a part of my eternal show, behold my performance and be.." He shouted dramaticly, until he froze. He had made a mistake, a catastrophic mistake, something only one so inexperienced could make. Out of all his calculations and plans regarding this mission, he did not account for this possibility.. "He's... not here.." He said coldly, clearly angry and dissappointed in himself. No, it was more like he still had not accepted that he made a mistake, and tried desperately to think of a way to rationalize that. His two puppets kneeled in defeat, and Kensei did not move an inch from where he stood, alone in the Tsuchikages Office.. |

| The force of the puppets smashing through the wall was enormous. So huge in fact that the vibrations alone caused a series of unfortunate events to begin. A marble fell onto a track from on high, magnetized just enough to keep it from falling off it followed the track at great speed, soon it smacked a domino, which fell onto another domino, which fell a third domino. The domino trail wasn't long and the final domino hit a rigged the lighter. The lighter burned through a wire keeping a hammer from smacking a 7 ball which rolled into a button rigged to a fan. The fan blew at a wooden car with a sail and caused it to move and smack a coo-coo clock, which had a knife on it. The knife cut through a rope and caused a brick to fall from a net. This brick fell onto a banana and squished it forcefully onto a pane of glass which brought attention to what was attached to the glass: an automated wiper with a string attached. The wiper starts up and pulls a bucket inch by inch off of a scale. The bucket wasn't of much importance or so it seemed. The bucket fell off of the scale with enough force to send a marble flying into a fan on the ceiling which smacked it into...wait, what was that? It was a mass of paper bombs. The contraption was a distraction and the real goal was to hit a paper bomb and cause it to explode, causing a chain reaction of these bombs that would destroy the office, a good portion of the manor, and anyone inside of it. And just that is what occurs but not before the person or persons inside could see a message written on the wall with these bombs: Have a nice day! A brilliant and massive explosion rocks Iwagakure as half of the kage manor is taken out in one fell swoop. It was a brilliant show to say the least... |

The journey through the village had been a rather easy one this was good for their task but the figure couldn’t help but a bit disappointed surely despite the distraction even if it was on a grand scale somebody would have put up some resistance or actually been on guard and patrols yet the village seemed like it was run by a bunch of fools that knew nothing. Just as the figure was becoming bored Kensei began to talk to him he was barking orders not that figure minded he had been told by Tenshi to listen to Kensei while at the same time to observe him in case he was to do anything stupid and even more importantly to the figure Kensei represented the most fun and interesting think in the village. “Relax boy and go wild...should you fail or start to fail then I will step in.” The figure smiled slightly things were about to finally get interesting and the boys target must be the Kage of Iwa this in itself was highly amusing for the simple fact that Tenshi had sent another shinobi a new shinobi to the group to take out such a high ranking person, even if it was some sort of trial it was crazy but that only made it all the more fun and exciting. As Kensei exploded out of the barrier with his puppets something happened a person had managed to actually walk into the barrier by accident. The girl had sealed her fate as soon as she stepped inside the barrier but even more so after she had attempted to shout for reinforcements it had sort of forced the figures hand not that it had taken much forcing but that was beside the point. “Earth release: Binding coffin” With the girl attempting to move or flee from the figure she found herself trapped and frozen to the spot but it was not from fear but something of a physical nature as she looked down towards the ground she could see her feet being ground in the earth itself and slowly it had begun to move up her body providing her the sense that she was sinking into the earth itself. Eventually the earth had covered the girls body as the figure licked his lips death was certain to follow now but it wasn’t going to be quick the figure was bored and now the girl represented a form of entertainment and he was safe to do as he pleased inside the barrier. First the earth around the girls legs squeezed in tight compacting together and in doing so crushed the girls legs completely blood had begun to run along the floor from her legs her screams sending chills of pleasure through the figures very core and this torture continued. From every small part of the girls body that was crushed by itself a louder and more painful scream bellowed from deep inside her body until she had stopped screaming altogether and it was at this time that the figure crushed her body completely leaving her face and head intact as it become the only recognisable part of her body, the earth that had covered her body slowly leaving her as it returned back to the ground it had came from the blood from her body quickly rushing out like a small river running around the figures feet as he chuckled to himself. “hoho so much blood for such a small girl...shame she died so early though!” Yet the figure had no time to bask in scene of his work something more pressing was happening well nothing was happening that was the main concern. Even if Kensei had taken out the Kage silently he would have expected to hear some noise...no from the way Kensei entered the office it could not have been a silent kill meaning something must have gone wrong or the Kage was no longer here. The Kage hiding somewhere wasn’t that surprising from the information Tenshi provided the Kage was a sly bitch and a coward. The sound of explosion soon followed perhaps a fight had started between the both or maybe it was a trap setup by the Kage. The way Kensei had entered the office was that of a young and stupid shinobi but yet still amusing to say the least however fighting like that he would not last long against the Kage. The rocks that fell from the building were met with a dome of hardened earth brushing them to the side of the figure and as the rocks stopped the dome reverted back to the ground like it was never there but now the question was where was the Kage hiding. “Part one complete...” The tone of the figures voice changed drastically it was more sinister than ever before and as he spoke the words the pulsing seal outside the village expanded rapidly with a deep red barrier exploding outwards until it covered the entire village everything in the village and surrounding area had been sealed inside even underground tunnels that could not be seen had been sealed inside the barrier. The people in the village had become trapped like rats in a cage with the figure laughing like a mad man the fun was only starting to begin and the hunt was now on. The barrier itself had some sort of ancient texts engraved onto it the text constantly moving around on the barrier it was clear for all that a barrier had been erected trapping everything inside it. What was less clear was the seals that had begun to slowly cover the ground that was inside the barrier the seals slowly flowing from inside the pulsing seal that the figure had earlier planted with nobody really noticing the seals on the floor as the barrier emitted a soft pulsing noise a sort of Genjutsu masking the seals on the ground. If one knew to look for the seals then they would clearly become visible however others would just ignore them like they never existed by now the seals had covered about quarter of the village itself. |

| So, that is our current situation, Enji.. You alright with your role? Enji nodded in approval, his hands shaking slightly with anticipation. He and the kuromachi maiden lord, Ichirin had been discussing the plan for a good while now, though truthfully they had spent a good deal of time discussing the past, it was not easy to converse properly within the madness that was Meikaikas Soul, so the opportunity to share thoughts and worries was almost irresistible here out in the material world. Enji: I died a martyrs death. If our success relies on it, I will do so again. Ichirin: Don't exert yourself.. There is no need for you to go that far! Ichirin and Enjis relationship was that of a little sister and a big brother, Enji had always been the one other Kuromachi that had truly accepted her as a fellow lord, and like Kuragari, he treated her like a sister, though in a much more brawny direct way than Kuragaris smoothness. Enji:Ive already seen the gates of hell Ichirin.. Ichirin: Even so, there is no need for you to get hurt again! Enji: Ichi! Calm yourself, don't forget what you are! Ichirin:...Your right, I am sorry cousin. Enji: Its sorry "Brother", ok? Enji placed one of his large bear hands on what comparably was a fairly frail shoulder, like Kuragari had done earlier that day. Enji: Don't worry about me, I am strong you know? Ichirin:...I know.. En.. But still I- Enji: This is not about me is it..? Ichirin:..No, I- Enji:Are you still blaming yourself for what happened? Ichirin:..No, I- Enji: Its been close to a millennia Ichi.. How long are you going to hate yourself? Ichirin: No, you are wrong! Thats not it! Enji: Steel yourself, Ichirin! Suddenly clasping his other hand down on her remaining free shoulder, he brought his burly face down to her eye level. Enji:Your task is equally as important as mine, you need to focus! Stop worrying about the past, it will drag you behind! You must focus on whats ahead of you! Ichirin: I know but- Enji: There is no buts, just what you can do! Settle your mind, and focus on your job, like I will focus on mine.. Ichirin: Its not that easy! Enji: Of course its not easy! Who do you think you are talking to!? Ichirins eyes widened as he realized her mistake, she attempted to apologize but Enji stopped her, his finger hushing her as he released his hold on her. Enji: Hating myself won't bring my daughters back, nor will it save my wife.. Aim forward Ichirin, even in this damned state, there is still hope for redemption! Ichirin closed her eyes as she brushed herself off, the dust from Enjis more rough outfit that had gotten into her fine dark silk robes. Ichirin: I wish I had your strenght.. Brother. Enji: You do, do not doubt yourself sister, remember why you attained your noble rank! Ichirin: ..Your right.. It helps, Thank you. I will try. Enji: Trust in yourself little sister.. As Enji spoke those last words a dark gate appeared behind him, slowly consuming his form. For peace of mind! Roared Enji at her as he finally dissappeared into the void of his own soul. And for redemption.. Replied Ichirin, but the nothiness she adressed gave her no reply. Turning around, she faced the destruction of Iwagakure that had been going on for a while now, she knew she had held it up for too long, but the timing had to be right aswell, she felt the wind blow between her hair, the strands of her tied ponytail separating slightly before falling back into form, dragging her hood down to mask her identity, clutching the handles of her twin swords Hakkyou and Shouki, she headed into battle. |
| Memories are the materials of a Soul, it is what makes and defines you. And as such, blood is the currency of the soul, the silver plate of the will. (Work in progress) |
| Mariko fell to the ground as the technique ended, in a bloody, mutilated mess. She had managed to keep her head and most of her chest from being crushed and that had kept her alive. But the rest of her body was destroyed so completely beyond repair, that she did not even hope she would survive. Mariko knew she was already dead. All that was left was to suffer through her last breaths, painful gasps that racked her body with pain, until it became too much and everything was numb. Her mind did not replay her life, or impart great insight in the face of imminent death. It did not change its way of thinking, or feeling or doing. Her mind became calm. For the first time in her life she began to think clearly, without the burden of living to keep her chained down. Mariko's mind flew away from it's earthly cage and all the knowledge in the world no longer mattered. Still struggling to breathe, a solitary tear was triggered and ran it's way from the corner of her eye onto the dirt. The feather she kept inside her obi, the one Miki had given her, began to glow and she felt a strange tug at her heart as she remembered the little girl she had raised and trained and thought of as her own daughter. A second tear from her other eye ran down across her face to join the first. That little girl appeared in front of her now, not as she remembered her, but as a woman. She did not need to feel Miki's mind meld into her own to know who she was. Regardless of how she looked, Miki was Miki and Mariko would always be able to tell, no matter how much she changed. For a brief moment the essence of Miki's mind brushed against Mariko and for a split second everything about the other was known. Mariko felt something she had not sense before inside Miki, fear. When Miki finally withdrew she had now fallen to her knees next to Mariko with tears streaming down her face like a waterfall. The look in her eyes, of her pain, made Mariko's heart break. "P-please... Don't leave me.... Mariko..." Mariko strained to form a smile, resulting in a resigned grimace as the pain began to seep into her body once more. A third and final tear was shed by Mariko. She opened her mouth to speak, "I..." But it fell shut again and then she was silent. |

| "If you can't accept the worst - what else will you accept?" "People like to tell me darkness is the absence of light, so i tell them - darkness can only be found in the presence of light" - Amane Chiyo |
| Kerushii was astonished, and more then a bit irritated. The flames had begun to press in upon her from all sides. She had tried thinking of a way out, but was coming up with nothing. She could only think of a few ways to escape the sure death that awaited her, and...Really, they were rather despite. She had closed her eyes only to be wrenched up and out threw the heat so fast that it had hardly affected her. As she hit the ground, a familiar voice hit her. As amane finished speaking his first words, set her down and began to walk away, she glared at his back. He had saved her yes, but had not really helped at all. It was not his duty however...In this, Kiri ninja would more then likely be against the destruction...against all that Mei and Tenshi represented...But what on earth was amane doing in Iwa? Why wasn't he in kumo with all other kiri ninja…? She was confused, but she called out. "Amane, thank you! Someday, I will repay you for my life..." She turned, gazing up at the two, still air born figures. In order to defeat the menaces, she would need to think. How could she do this? She had one idea, but only one... it was not a definite idea but possibly... She flipped several hand signs with one hand, wile flipping a different set with her other. She called out, her voice amplified and carried to Henrietta, and Kayori's ears by the jutsu. "Kayori, dearest friend...will you not play a game with me? A game, of hide and go tag! The loser’s life is for-fit!" Before kayori could answer, kerushii was using all of her incredible speed to run. She new that if her plan failed, kayori would rake the land where she had stood blowing it to pieces, vaporizing everything around in the area. She also new that if she did agree, it would be best to be moving... because, after all...Kayori would jump in to the game with vigor. She weaved in and out of the buildings, waiting, ever waiting to use the second prepared jutsu. ___________ “Ah, my boy…Reverting to such an explosive entrance, quite unusual…” The figure stood just behind where the boy had shot up from, a good five feet behind the slave of tenshi. He watched as the puppets crashed in to the building, and awaited some sort of results. He expected screaming from above; possibly a smashing sound…but nothing, nothing, and more nothing met his ears. He frowned slightly, confused. He licked his canines, gazing up in hunger. His eyes gleamed, and then he growled coming to a realization, that only came with experience. “It’s a fucking trap…shit…Boy, get out of there wile you still ca…” The explosion went off, throwing bricks in to the sky. They rained down, falling at an insane rate. He looked on in startled meant, waiting to see if the boy made it out alive. He was quick, and could hear the whistling of the bricks as they fell, side stepping them as they came to his level. “You better be alive you runt…or someone is going to be rather pissed with me…” |
| ◦It feels so close to me, yet i can't grasp it even if i extend my hands. Even so ... Even if i cant reach it ... there are things that will stay in my heart. Being in the same time and looking up at the same sky, If i can remember that, then even when we are apart from each other, I believe that we can be together. I will run forward now.

| In the skies above Iwagakure. "Hmm he was rather quick to go join the fray now were exactly is the rock you wan-." he was cut of mid sentence by the loud explosion that took place at the Tuschikages manor. Shit this is bad.. they are already at the Tsuchikages manor.. I must get over there to assist her... This rock can wait. "Hey Ms...err Amanes girlfriend we are going to be making a little pit-stop at the Tsichikages manor.. I want to see if the Tsuchikages is alright. After that I will take you to wherever you need to go. "he said calmly as he prodded Terry to go the direction of the Tsuchikages manor. Within in two minutes they were above what was left of the manor. |
| Nekki K. The chaotic scene was but a distant memory of her past, for the fate of Iwagakure was much like that of Sunagakure. She remained silent for most of the ride, and didn't give in to much thought as why Amane left in such a hurry. He seemed like a man of his word, and if he wasn't, it would come out of his paycheck. "You have other matters to focus on, not on Amane's intentions. He will aide you, just on his own terms." When Yukio addressed Nekki informally, she slowly grew upset with him, responding in the following manner. "First, I have a name, and I would prefer if you addressed me by it. Second, mind you're place, not only am I shinobi, but also older than you. Do whatever you like, just remember you have a promise to keep." |
| Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? ~Senjougahara Hitagi |
| ~~~ Kaori ~~~ The gale force winds that Henrietta had conjured, fanned the fire of the hydra, allowing for the four lost heads to regenerate almost instantaneously, now leaving the hydra with a total of thirteen. Kaori wrinkled her nose at a familiar smell as Amane came to the rescue of Kerushii. She did not seem angry that her attack had failed, but rather impatient that the fight was still going. Kaori heard Kerushii call out for a game of tag, like when they had last fought and the corner of her mouth curled up in a half-hearted smile. She wanted to play tag? Oh, sure, she could play tag. She moved her hands into a seal and no sooner than Kerushii had started to run, Kaori had already disappeared with a flash of fiery brimstone in her wake. She appeared again, along with the full body of her hydra in the path of Kerushii. The hydra's heads curled forward to lance into the ground around and behind her, creating a cage of fiery bars around the two. The space in between was then filled with fire as Kaori completed the prison. A solid ball of hellfire now stood between Kerushii and the outside village. The heat was hellish and rising as the air became heated by the flames. The gale winds buffeting the village flared the prison, swelling the walls to several times their original thickness, destroying a large part of the street in the process. Kaori knew how Kerushii fought. Temperature control, that required cooling the area around her, or more commonly freezing water, but with the prison keeping all of Kerushii's available resources in check it would be next to impossible to use her full powers now. A swell of fire began to form behind Kaori, from the core of the hydra, she raised her hand and extended it forwards towards Kerushii. A dragon's head was formed to the left of Kaori, opening it's mouth to let loose a fiery roar of scalding air. "Tag. You're it." The dragon behind her seemed to react to her words, throwing itself out of the prison and towards Kerushii. A wave of fire pulsing from the outside of the cage inwards to propel it's movement and deal with any ideas of Kerushii trying to save herself. ~~~ Miki ~~~ When Mariko fell silent, Miki froze. Darkness swirled around her, conjured from an unseen void. She cried out, releasing all her pain, torment and fury into the village. It was the sound of a heart breaking. The void that covered Miki swirled ominously as she rose and then vanished back to the unseen dimension from whence it came. Miki's entire appearance had changed, even her hair colour was different from when she had arrived. Miki's mind surged with a sudden influx of power as she released the safety limits normally imposed. The air around her began to feel heavy and small area's of the air appeared the crack and break off to float like debris around her. She located those responsible, ten minds in total, and brought down the crushing weight of her mind down on all simultaneously. Half a dozen, the weaker ones, lost consciousness immediately, what remained of their minds retreating to a dark, unused recess to try and escape the onslaught. The rest fell to their knees screaming and clutching their heads between their hands as the pain tore through their minds and threatened to split their skulls apart. With only four left who posed any slight resistance she maintain the crushing weight on their minds, enough to keep the incapacitated in pure agony as she finished the rest. Going from mind to mind of the six weakest, taking them apart from the inside out she unloaded the fury of her mind into theirs and shattered what little remained of their existence. Their bodies still remained and looked un-touched, but there was no longer anything to be called human about them. They were now just hollow shells. Miki turned her attention back to the four strongest. The earth began to rumble as Miki neglected to restrain her technique, tremors shook the village, giving the appearance of a minor earthquake. The four remaining nin were lifted by their neck, still screaming and dragged into the air until their feet no longer touched the ground. She found the one who had killed Mariko and at that point had no more reason to let the others live any longer. She relieved the pressure on the one mind she wanted to keep alive, just enough so he could witness her next actions. The screams of the other three suddenly got worse as Miki increased the pain, turning into something beyond a human voice, a primal terror. Deciding that they had suffered enough she released them into death. Their heads were crushed and imploded, the sudden forces sending a shower of cranial fragments and grey matter into the air. Tufts of hair and teeth and cartilage littered the ground, several eyes remaining in tact though no longer a part of a head. The last remaining nin was forced by Miki to watch the death of his comrades. She relaxed all traces of pain on him for now causing a swell of relief to roll over him as she blinked out of existence and directly in front of him. She calmly put a hand around his neck as she froze his body in place with her mind. Miki parted her lips, teeth gritted close and hissed at the man, "Feel her pain" She began to re-create Mariko's death. Starting with his legs and slowly crushing them, she held his mouth and tongue, not giving him the relief in screaming but she could hear his screams inside her mind. She worked meticulously, each movement being drawn from Mariko's own memories of the pain as she imparted retribution. Miki had once been told by Mariko, when she was young that an eye for an eye only left the world blind. She had agreed with her then, despite not knowing what it truly meant. Now as she tore the man in front of her apart, piece, by piece she decided that she would gladly blind herself to avenge Mariko. She ended the ritual by crushing his entire body as on, and though at that point he was already long dead she brought a crushing force to his head as well, destroying his face so that nobody would ever recognise the mutilated pile of flesh and bone at her feet as him. When her last enemy was dead and there was no more vengeance to be sought the fury inside Miki abated and she suddenly felt a deathly sickness creep into her stomach. She did not regret what she had done, but she knew immediately that what she had done had cost her far more than she may ever understand. |

| Yukio Shizuoka Yukio was caught a bit off guard by her response and was confused as to why reffering to her as Amane's girlfriend upset her. He had nothing else to go off of as she didn't talk much during the flight and never introduced herself. He just thought of her as Amane's gal pal. Maybe that was the wrong way of going about things... Well I can rectify things now. "I'm sorry but I really don't know what to call you as you never really introduced yourself but then again I never asked for your name. I mean if referring to you as his girlfriend bothers you then I will stop, but first what is your name so I can avoid this kind of mix up. Also you may be older then me but I am stronger then you soooo I really don't see you that high on the chain of command." he said in playful joking way to lighten the tension between the two. He then stood up took off his shirt revealing his various tattoos on his back as readied to jump down and join the fray. Some where decorative while others were there in a vain attempt to hide some his scars. The most prominent one was his clans symbol which looked like a lightning bird. (It's design would look like an aztec tattoo but since were in the Naruto world it looks like a very old symbol.) |
| Nekki K. She couldn't help but feel uncomfortable around the shinobi she met just moments ago. In addition, Amane was undetectable to her. For all she knew, he was lost in battle, sacrificing his life for what? A favor? She couldn't help but feel responsible for involving him in this affair, but what has to be done, has to be done. There was somewhat of an awkward moment mid-flight, as the two approached the Tsuchikage's manor. Specifically in the way Yukio followed-up her response, which prompted her to smile gently. In a manner of seconds however, she then began to stare blankly at the shinobi until she broke out in a small stint of laughter. "Ka ka....," she continued to giggle. "You made an assumption, no.....I'm wrong, you've been making assumptions from the very beginning. Referring to me as someone's girlfriend implies that I belong to someone, when that is simply incorrect. Not only is it rude to assume, but it shows flaws in your character, and yes, continue to inflate your masculinity and assertion that you are strong by taking off your shirt in front of me will showing off that magnificent display artwork all over your body," she responded sarcastically to him. "Nekki Kousoku....of the burning sands, should you chose to address me properly. Now let's go save you're precious little leader before you throw another hissy fit." |
| Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? ~Senjougahara Hitagi |
| Yukio Shizuoka "I'm glad you think it is magnificent, I just thought of it as avaunt-garde at best and a nice way to cover up my scars. I dear say I'm flattered Ms. Nekki that you find me attractive but I dear say you are dead wrong about me doing this to show off my body. To be honest I have always fought like this as it is most comfortable for me. Now I dear say you are the one making rude assumptions Ms. Nekki." he retorted in a playfully sarcastic tone as he turned to face her. It wasn't cold like hers but it was enough to cause a tad bit of annoyance to her. He had a smile on his face that faded in a couple of seconds and his demeanor began to become more serious. This would come as a surprise to her as the you shinobi hadn't been serious this whole time. The fact of the matter was he was putting up a facade.. It was his defense mechanism when something greatly stressed him. The thought of if his family survived weighed heavily on his mind but he tried his best to hide. "Well Ms. Nekki just know this... I am a man of my word and I promise that I will get you whatever you need. See you on the ground." with that he gave her a slight smile and saluted her in a joking way with index and middle finger together. He put his arms out like a cross and leaned back off the edge of Terry sending him hurtling towards the ground. Yukio had done such things before and would land safely. This would most likely startle Nekki a little sudden. Within a few seconds he landed softly on the ground as he released wind chakra in the soles of his feet to lessen the tree fall and allow him to land safely. He looked up at Terry and motioned for Nekki to jump next. |
| The other shinobis lined at the gates preventing anything else from coming through to the village. The confirmation of the village being attacked was in the minds of everyone present so far with the enemy’s position unknown. She had a strong feeling the attack at the gates was more of a divergent than to proceed with another one. But they didn’t have much intell to go on. Who were the perpetrators, what are their motives? After a few minutes of careful reasoning, she halted near the gates and decided to take matters in her own hands. Any direction from the kage right now was not of importance as the timing of reaching anyone of the shinobis in the village was just going to give way for the enemies to trespass further. Just as she was going to make her next move, flashes of fire from a distance lit up the night sky. A fight had already erupted which definitely confirmed that right now the village was unsafe. She immediately instructed the other shinobis to gather all the villagers to safety in the underground tunnels that led to the outside of the village. There were definitely tons of tunnels to hide from any attack but only some were capable of leading them elsewhere in the outskirts of the village. And seeing the aftermath of each attack from the faraway fight, it alerted her the other tunnels wasn’t going to do any good. The enemies were too strong probably already scheming a way for everyone to not be able to escape the fate they set in on them. The shinobis set out rushing families out of their homes and quickly guiding them to the specific underground tunnels. By this time, it was more chaotic than Sayu had expected. Many were reluctant to leave, as they didn’t see the village being in any immediate danger. And with lack of information from the kage, it only reinforced the villagers to not comply. There was simply not enough time to explain to everyone as well that the village was under attack. But no matter what the circumstances were, all the shinobis had to make sure they evacuated everyone. Once everyone accounted for was inside the tunnel, leading the way out was quite troubling. The narrow pass way made it difficult to move about. And with no light leading the way, it only slowed the process. The only thing Sayu was able to do now was encourage the villagers to move at a faster pace, letting them know that they can finally rest assure once they made it safely to the other side of town. It worried her so much unsure of all the uncertainties that lied ahead. Whatever that was happening in the village itself now was unknown to her as she was busy dealing with the villagers escape. After this was done, she planned on finding out the hell is going on. Halfway into the tunnels, things were finally settling down and most was cooperating. Sayu talked with one of the shinobis telling him to continued on with the rest and make sure no one was hurt. A lot of the other shinobis already made it out and is watching over the villagers. Their conversation was cut short as a sudden red barrier came in between them from the ground locking Sayu on the side that led back into the village. It startled everyone who was able to see it that made them increase their pace. “Don’t worry about me.” Sayu commanded. “Just make sure that the rest are safe. I’m heading back into the village to figure out what is going on.” As they both waved their goodbyes, the notion of never seeing each again came to them. Whoever had created the barrier had that intention in mind hoping they trapped all those in the village for good. As Sayu ran back to the opening of the tunnel, she couldn’t help but smiled in relief that all the villagers were now going to be safe. Whatever happens now was purely up to the rest who was trapped inside. As she reached the outside, everywhere was silence. It already looked like a dead place with people’s belongings scattered everywhere as a result of them not letting anyone bring anything. And the barrier, she knew it well that it had covered the whole place up too when it appeared in the tunnel. Only now, she was able to see it clearly and the sight of it already making her lose hope that anything good will come out of it. Once she gathered her strength, she decided to head towards the kage manor. The shinobis that was sent there to protect the kage never came back and it was the best starting place to starting understanding why all this had to happen. |

| “Did you bring the things we asked for?” A cold sharp tone rang across the room until it met the ears of several elders that sat around the table the table itself was fairly normal for what one would expect to find in the room that the elders resided in. With it being old and well built with detailed engravings of various beautiful images running along the sides of the legs all the way up to the sides of the table itself with the centre being the most eye catching in that it was a detailed drawing of the entire village although the current village had gone through changes since the table was made indicating that the painting on the table was one from generations ago. The room itself was mostly dark with a soft faint glow radiating throughout it yet there were no lights on instead the glow was radiating from the girl who had just spoken to the elders, the elders that were sitting around the table had a fiery glare no it was more a glare filled with anger and hatred it represented the feelings that the elder generation felt for one another perfectly but maybe they had good reason for that hatred this time. The closest elder to the girl that was speaking clenched her fists in such disgust at how the girl spoke down to them her anger causing the elder to momentarily lose control as she brought her hand crashing down on the table causing an echo to ring through the room the table itself vibrating for several second such was the force behind the elders hand, such force had caused her fragile body to ache in pain with her face trying best to mask as much pain as possible it was all to evident though. “You dare say you asked...you left us no choice but to give into your fucking commands child!” The elderly woman’s voice roared across the room so loud in fact that it would normally have caused the guards to come rushing through the doors, the problem with that being that the guards had already made the mistake of coming into the room their bodies laying beside the girl as she glared back towards the elder clearly annoyed at something maybe it was the tone in the woman’s voice or the child remark. Whatever it was it had certainly pushed one of the girls buttons the light radiating from her growing in intensity the more her temper flared the stronger the light radiated by now the room was almost blinding like but slowly the light faded as the girls emotions were brought back under control instead she sought to remind the elders who had the upper hand in the current situation and what better way than to send one of them to their death. One of the elders men’s head hit flat against the table that they had gathered around his body gasping for air before he became void of all life and soon the woman seized speaking all together the room had become silent once more. “And I take it you brought her as well?” By now the girl was walking around the room her hand running across the cold stone walls as her black cloak dragged along the floor her hood was down revealing her soft gentle features, her hair was a soft golden color and flowed down to the tip of her back while her eyes were a sky like blue that stood out against her soft pale skin it was hard to imagine such a beautiful girl being part of the attack. As she stopped walking her hand ran across the top of another girls head the one that she had ordered them to bring it wouldn’t be hard to imagine how easy it was to kill the girl yet her hand left the girls head without inflicting any harm instead she smiled gently towards the girl before looking back at the elders as she clicked her fingers a giant cage of light surrounding them all trapping them inside not that they put up much resistance, they knew if they resisted then their deaths would soon follow and that would not help the village at all instead it would cause even more chaos. ----------------------------------- “What is the matter Kallen?” Tenshi spoke while walking from the large double doors that had been swung open his long black cloak finely decorated like something a rich noble would wear reaching all the way down his body stopping just above his feet the girl that he spoke to having a very similar cloak to that of his own. The building he had just left being some sort of temple with the symbol of Iwa proudly plastered for all to see. With one simple look anybody would be able to tell that the temple was really the manner of the feudal lord of Iwa inside was nothing short of a blood massacre. Blood covered the walls on the inside while bodies of guards littered the outside of the manner bodies of the people that Tenshi had slaughtered during the initial attack on the village itself. Despite being in a graveyard of corpses Tenshi still held the calm soft tone as he spoke to the girl yet she had a rather painful look on her face something had bothered her. “My brother died...” Kallen looked up towards Tenshi while kneeing down on one knee it was a position of respect something that she had adopted towards Tenshi a long time ago but her face still held the anger she felt coursing throughout her veins something that Tenshi took note of before looking off into the distance. His eyes being on the large barrier that had erected over Iwa it was clear for all in the country to see and it had brought a smile to the face of Tenshi, the barrier represented part one of the plan complete and the loss of Kallens brother was nothing significant. After admiring the barrier around the village Tenshi looked back down at Kallen while motioning for her to stand as she stood Tenshi spoke with a tone that was beyond calm as it bordered on the line of coldness lacking any emotion at all. “You want revenge for him?” Clenching her hands tight enough for her nails to draw blood from her own hands while biting down hard on her lower lip her anger was whirling around inside her as she nodded while looking over towards Tenshi her wish was clear she wanted the village to be swept aside. It was the response Tenshi had been waiting for up until now Kallen had been holding back despite serving Tenshi. It was more subconscious but now she was exactly what Tenshi wanted she was free from the self imposed restrictions that she had placed on herself. “He was a failure...but still he was my brother. The village promise me it will no longer stand after this...” Tenshi smiled and nodded at the request the promise had been made as they both passed through the red colored barrier Kallen clicked her fingers causing the barrier itself to glow a bright fiery red consuming everything inside it with a torrent of deep red flames the lack of emotion in the eyes of Tenshi being the complete opposite of the fiery rage filled eyes of Kallen. By the time the barrier faded away the flames had reduced everything inside to nothing more than mere ashes, everything from the manner was destroyed and their sighs firmly set on Iwa as their next target with both of them vanishing through a rift in the air before appearing just outside the village as Tenshi rested his hand on top of her head* “Let’s begin phase two.” Before Tenshi could even finish speaking Kallen had planted both her hands onto the earth below her feet her glowing hands sending pulses through the earth itself the barrier reacting to the pulses as it began to change once more. The barrier itself altering its shape on the outside as giant domes surrounded the villagers that had mood it through the tunnels trapping them inside the domes like rats in a cage they were safe from harm with the barrier acting as a shield, on the inside of the village the barrier had darkened significantly as it slowly turned to a black color with the markings engraved into the barrier glowing a bright white like color. In other places inside the village several voids had begun to open up with 4 shinobi emerging from each void this was no longer a small tactical attack on the village but more of an invasion. Within moments of the shinobi appearing out of the voids explosions and flames began to engulf the village the first target that when up in a fiery explosion was the hospital with the academy soon following each one being reduced to rubble the people caught in the blast being blown to pieces some killed with many suffering severe injuries. Various other places were hit hard most of the places being significant each attack was on a place that would cause the most damage to the village the attacks had been well planned and calculated by somebody ruthless and yet at the same time by somebody that enjoyed games the people were pawns with the village being the chess board. |
| Ichirins tied hair flowed with the wind as she appeared within the domed city of Iwagakure, the stone cold beauty gazed out at the furious chaos that had envolped the city, her weapons shaking every so slightly from the weak tremors in her hands. Then, an explosion light up her face with a warm orange sheen, her gaze fell at the source, a hospital rendered to rubble before her very eyes. Civilian targets.. How undignifi- Her head snapped to the right, her eyes locking with the ninja academy, her cold expression turning to anger before she vanished, leaving nothing behind to prove that she had been there, not even a mirage. Ichirin reappeared inside the academy just as the explosion started to expand from its orgin point and outward, threatening to consume the lives of everyone within. She turned mid-air as she threw her hands outwards at the expanding explosion which seemed to be moving in slow motion compared to the girls own movement. Hiden No Jutsu: Kyuujin! Ignorant students unaware of what was happening did not even recognise the sudden apperence before a swirling vortex appeared between Ichirins hands, the vortex sucked and pulled and soon the explosion stopped expanding and instead started to swirl towards her, funnelling into the sucking vortex like a fiery reverse tornado. Further down the hall she had appeared in, stood a lone Shinobi who had yet to even recognise that his Jutsu had been failed, his eyes just then slowly widening in realization, unable to fathom why his explosion had simply vanished. Though, he did realize a few things, the one who had stopped his jutsu must have been the black clothed woman who had just landed on the floor ahead of him, the second thing he realized was that the sudden red glow from beneath the girls hood might not be a good thing, then he realized something else, something pretty profound... His head was no longer connected with his body. "Oh.." He somehow miraculously managed to utter as his shocked expression started to soar across the hallway, his body slowly falling to the ground before the cloaked woman, The twin swords dripping red with his lifeblood. Burn in hell, scum. Whispered Ichirin as she slowly composed herself, her swords lovingly moved into their holders on her back. The Students surrounding her were awestruck, or shocked with fear, all the same they were almost mute until a single brave student spoke up. What.. What is going o- His sentence was cut short as his expression suddenly turned pale with fear from the sight of the woman who were suddenly twisting around to face him, a vortex swirling within her gathered palms. The entire hallway was torn clean of students before she again vanished, reappearing in another room where she repeated the process, and then again and again until not a single living thing besides herself existed within the academy grounds. Don't worry. She said with a warm tone while holding her right hand over her chest. This way you will all be safe. - - - - - - - - - - Looking back up, she stared into the face of a horrified Suna ninja, his life fading from his bloodied eyeballs as she withdrew her blades from his abdomen, the Shinobi who had blown up the hospital fell lifeless to the ground, the burning rubble causing her face to yet again be light up by its warm light. Her hands were shaking from the strain, she had killed around seven Suna nin since she had left the academy about two minutes ago, she had pushed her speed in order to catch as many as possible before they could get away.. In the process she had stopped two more explosions and taken in more than two hundred people. The downside of being so fast was obvious by looking at her current state, her body was lightly shaking, she was short of breath and for a moment she had to bend over and cough violently, a sliver of blood trickling down her chin. She looked exhausted, her silken armored robes were dirty with dust and stains of blood, her hair heavy with ash from the burning buildings, yet she still looked strangely beautiful amongst the hell-scape. It had only been a few minutes since she had decided to take a moment away from her main objective but she was starting to regret it, she had already brought herself far and she knew she would have to push herself further to complete her objectives. She brought her swords down into their holders before she started to look about the battlefield, taking in the situation before making her next move. ((If someone wants to interject her, it has to be done now before she moves on)) |

| Nekki "I was being sarcastic," she whispered to herself once Yukio landed safely to the ground. She then scanned the immediate area because unlike Yukio, she was not skilled in leaping from great distances. Instead, she opted for chakra control, and once she found a suitable building, she jumped off Terry's back, focusing her chakra to the soles of her feet as she slid down the side of a dilapidated building until she reached the ground. There was panic and terror surrounding the two of them. Painful screams filled the air, accompanied by the chiming of weapons clashing into one another. It was then that she suddenly sounded more human so to say, becoming sympathetic to Yukio's situation. Despite his mannerisms, he was doing what any shinobi would do, protect his/her own village. That alone was worthy of admiration. "Then you have my word as well Yukio, let's begin," she stated before crashing her left fist into the palm of her right hand. (I'll leave it to you to create the battle scenarios, because managing Amane and Nekki is gonna be a tad bit of a pain for meh :P) ========================================================= Amane How long had it been since he last saw Kerushii? He could not recall at the moment, but was somewhat pleased to find her alive and well, despite her engaging in the same antics, working as a sword for hire. However, it was an argument he could not refute because he was presently doing the same. Yet the bittersweet reunion had to be cut short due to the current situation. His advancement into the heart of the village was impeded when his path was cut off by several Iwa nin, whom immediately took him for an intruder. "I'm here as a representative for Yukio Shizuoka, I have no malintent with your people. On the contrary, I am here to lend you a helping hand," he told the group. The group of three shinobi were surprised, even baffled at the fact that this mysterious man was so willing to help them in their time of desperation. They appeared to be young in age, perhaps of Chunin rank even, which worked well for Amane. Unfortunately their conversation was literally cut short, when they were ambushed by Sunagakure shinobi. The Suna shinobi struck from behind, grabbing each Iwa shinobi by the neck as they each dug their kunai across the throats of the Iwa nin. Blood gushed out, as the bodies trembled in overwhelming pain and fear. Next one up was Amane, whom weilded a freakishly big sword on his back, but did not choose to use it for this battle. No, this required far more nimbleness, which prompted him to use another thinner sword that appeared more like a big needle than an actual sword. One by one, each of the shinobi's kunai clashed against the steel of Amane's blade. Each time the weapon's met, Amane retaliated with a direct hit, until the corpses of each shinobi was woven together by the ending thread at the hilt of the sword. This was the signal reminding him that the situation was far worse than expected. He had to prepare himself accordingly, and did so by strapping his blade to his back, accompanying the larger sword as he took off the scroll from his lower back. After unrolling the scroll, four insignia's appeared on the paper. He slammed his hand onto the paper as a cloud of smoke engulfed him. When the smoke had settled, Amane was now equipped with six unique swords, all aligned at different angles on his back. Together the assortment of swords formed the shape of a star. He continued his advancement towards the heart of the village until he approached the academy grounds, which appeared to be more like a graveyard than an actual area of training. All but one figure laid lifeless on the ground. He walked slowly amongst the sea of corpses, drawn in by a sole woman whom looked visibly exhausted, her silken armored robes were dirty with dust and stains of blood, and her hair heavy with ash. She was equipped with two swords, both of which were probably in use because a trickle of blood ran down her cheek. The combination was suspicious indeed, but it wasn't until he was within five feet of the woman, that his suspicision quickly turned into a state of alarm as he realized the striking resemblence between her clothing and those of a the man responsible for the assault on his village. It was hard to check his emotions, and it did take him several seconds to steady his breathing before he could addressed her. His eye lids lowered slightly, making him look almost lifeless as he asked her in a cold manner. "Kuro...machi.....?" |

| Ichirin was about to make her leave as she felt a slight disturbance, quickly drawing her weapons she closed her eyes, feeling out the presence as it approached. It did not take long for her to realize the identity of the presence, she sighed deeply, this was one person she could not ignore, the objective had to be put on hold. Amane: Kuro...Machi..? She lifted her tired eyelid and turned to face the young man, her eyes shone dangerously with a red sheen as her eyes met his, an untentional act, one she could no longer fully control. Soyokaze Amane? Her eyes settled on his weapon, studying its odd shape as she thought through what she knew of the man.. Her mind filed through images of the man, pictures from his childhood up to the current point shot through her mind, he was a famous Ninja, in some circles, legendary. One of the few survivors of his bloodline, and Kirigakure for that matter, he was probably the strongest Ninja from that particular village with the exception of the Mizukage himself.. She bitterly gritted her teeth together for a short moment, she hated herself for accessing the memories she knew through her link with Mei. Why have you come here? To this sad.. sad.. Depressing battlefield.. You Phantom of the hidden mist. |
| Memories are the materials of a Soul, it is what makes and defines you. And as such, blood is the currency of the soul, the silver plate of the will. (Work in progress) |
| Her response through him off guard. She was nothing like the man who made hell rain down upon his former village. What was it that was hiding behind that solemn face of hers, pity? fear? guilt? He became upset, slightly grunting when she asked why did he come to such a place. However, his emotions would soon settle when he was ready to address her. "Fate has guided me here, and with good reason. I come as an ally to the shinobi of Iwagakure, as such I am sworn to protect the village. The look on your face confirms my accusation, which means you have a relation to him. Tell me, maiden of the Kuromachi, what purpose does your presence have in this foreign land?" |
| Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? ~Senjougahara Hitagi |
| So you really do recognise me as Kuromachi.. I am impressed. She said honestly, her pale skin sharing with him a thin smile as her eyes went over his chest and to the place where he might have held some hidden weapons. There are not many who would make that connection, then again, I guess this is also a part of your "fate" She said in a teasing manner, her smile widening slightly before coming back down as she continued to answer his question. Do you really want to know my purpose, "Phantom-kun".. Or are you just looking for an excuse to avenge all those you've lost? Another explosion ripped the air apart in the background, showering them in more orange sheen, causing her outline to glow and her form to darken as her back was facing the blast. |
| Memories are the materials of a Soul, it is what makes and defines you. And as such, blood is the currency of the soul, the silver plate of the will. (Work in progress) |
| His eyes narrowed while he studied her facial expression. He was surprised at how quickly that solemn look had been replaced with a smile, as she examined him from head to toe. There was no doubt in his mind, when he saw her face clearly due to the intense light of the explosion, that she bore a resemblance to Mei. Or are you just looking for an excuse to avenge all those you've lost? He stood his ground, not baiting into her attempt to rile him up emotionally. On the contrary, he would deliver an equally sharp response. "Your death would not exact my revenge. However, I'm sure it would be profound enough to impact Mei, given he holds your life in high regard." The threat seemed almost too wild, and he himself chuckled slightly at the sudden flash of teeth he finished displaying, after which he jokingly stated, "Unless of course you don't mind taking me to him personally...." |

| ((This is going to be weird, because I have never done this before. So, I will put up a disclaimer right now. Disclaimer! I have not announced my tota yet, but according to the stat requirements, she is able to have one. Do to this being her final post, I am going to use it. Now with that said, here we go!)) As kayorii appeared in front of kerushii, kerushii began to speak. Her voice, was in a monotone, picking up a short rhythm, that could be quite hypnotic. As the heat began to build up around her, she smiled. The flames were quite beautiful, and set her in to a trance with their ever present flickering, and dancing. “Temperature up, to combat against the heat…raising body temperature high, above normal fever temperature to make the day feel like spring…Water, to create a sponginess, earth to mold…wind to shove…now, swamp release! Great sucking vortex!” A sweat had built up on her forehead, but the day felt as cool as a spring time day. As she channeled her chakra, the ground began to change color. Beneath her, and kayori’s feet the ground turned black. Slowly, ever so slowly both began to sink. Kerushii smiled as the girl yelled “Tag” and then she closed her eyes. The sinking began to pick up its pace, as the fire ball that kayori made punched right threw keru. It did not leave gore; do to the extreme heat of the flames. It cauterized the wound immediately. As the fire ball sank threw keru’s body, it struck her heart. As her body was hit, the jutsu of the swamp stopped working leaving kayori only sank up to her calf’s allowing her to escape if she wished. ((I took this liberty, because the mud was so sticky it would have been nearly impossible to wrench your foot from it; like quick sand.)) As kerushii died however, do to a jutsu being in effect at the time a great explosion occurred. All of her chakra that had been going in to the jutsu exploded out words in a physical blast that would do no harm, but blow someone over if caught in it. __________ “The fuck?” A growl that was hardly intelligible slipped from the figures lips as he watched a shin obi fall from the sky. He looked closer, as another figure quickly joined him. One, was garbed in an iwa uniform the other, he did not recognize. He moved, silently out letting a spark form on the end of his finger, which quickly elongated in to a string that spread from finger to finger. This pair caught his attention. He pulled the cloaks hood tighter around him, and approached Yukio and his companion. Speaking, in his best approximation of his old Konoha accent, but failing miserably do to the wolfish aspect of his speech, he growled out: “Oy…the fuck is going on here? Need some help taking out the enemy who has been doing this damage?” Grrrr…if these fucking idiots are not suspicious of me, I will need to bite my own hand off…I do not think they will turn down help, but chances are they will not trust me…ah well, all the better…when I stab them in the back, when they are least expecting it… |
