The Gate; Yuki no Kuni

[Deleted]

The Gate To Hell.

This Demonic Gate leads to The world Known as the Shadow Fire. It has been compared to Hell, many times, by the people who survived it's wrath. Outside of these Gates, the Sky would be a Blood red. All trees and snow, obliterated by the sheer power of the fire of this world. Several Clyanfixx and Scryopixx would be spread out upon the large area. Along with one Spirikaxx and Dreodrixx would be spread out as well. That would be outside. Come and face your Doom.

--

For this Event. Plot Advancement requires 3 Scryopixx and Clyanfixx's to be dead. 1 Dreodrixx and 1 Spirikaxx to be dead.[/b]

The plan would still be edged into the Sakurai’s mind as him and his team separated from the two snow shinobi that were to aid them in the rescue of two Cloud shinobi that wandered into Yuki No Kuni and got trapped within the mountains. Due to this being their home country and them knowing the terrain better, he two snow ninja would continue the rescue mission while Kira, Shinobu and their leader, Tieren Drasani, would head over to the abnormal patch of land.

Leading the group, due to him knowing the location, they would arrive a small while later. As the travelled, the land would begin to change, the snow disappearing, the sky changing from the light blue to a scarlet red – the signs. Soon enough, the portal would come into view and the creatures as well. Here; Kira would stop the group, turning around to hear their opinion on the situation.

They were a ways away from the beats, most likely out of the immediate threat area.

(9 Days Remaining)

Tieren would stand there in awe at the sight of the giant portal as well as the red sky. Seems hes done quite a few things involving odd things like this. With a sigh, Tieren looked to his team and said "We dont know what lies beyond that portal, or what we might have to face. So, be on your guard and stick together. The last thing we need right now is to get separated from each other and having someone die. So stick together, and if you need help with something, then say it. We are a team for this mission, and will have to look out for each other."

He then looked back at the portal and wondered how to approach this gate. It was a surprising thing, but he knew that they had to take care of it. He then took his staff out of its holster and kept it retracted. He then looked back at his teammates and said "If any of you have something to say, then say it now. If not, then lets go." Tieren would then wait to see if they had something to say. If they did, then he would wait and listen, then answer. If neither of them did, then Tieren would walk forward, getting a bit close to the portal, but not actually going into the portal just yet. He needed to see what he might be able to see.

[Zerocloud]

As Shinobu and his team raced to this "portal" his mind tried to grasp what the hell it could be. Shinobu was unable to do so and so prepared himself for anything. Either way, he was confident in Kira, Tieren and himself to defend Snow and themselves against any threat. But Shinobu never anticipated, even in his wildest nightmares, a threat like this.

As the Cloud team approached the gate the sky gradually turned hellish red. Trees and snow were soon no where to be found as the snowy terrain which this country was accustomed to was seemingly destroyed by something. Soon the team came to a hill which was just in seeing distance of the hellish portal. Shinobu couldn't help but to be frightened by the sight of the demonic gate and what appeared to be its inhabitants scattered around it. These creatures appeared to be blood thirsty demons. Although this was unlikely, them being friendly visitors from another planet was even more unlikely. A nervous bead of cold sweat dripped down the side of Shinobu's cheek.

As Shinobu blinked his eyes an instantaneous flash back occured which lasted no more than a few seconds...

Deafening screams pierced Shinobu's young ears. In a panic Shinobu rushed to his window as his brothers and father rushed through their tiny home; preparing for war. When Shinobu looked out though the window there was a heavy snowfall. There were also men dressed in strange outfits. Houses burned bright orange as their flames lit up the night sky, allowing young Shinobu to witness these men slaughtering the people of his village. They were like helpless cattle as these men hacked away at these people. Suddenly, powerful hands pulled him away from the window and spun him around. It was his father. Shinobu had a ton of questions but asked none. Instead the two locked eyes for a second and his father began to talk. "I might die tonight Shinobu. There are powerful men out there who for some reason are set on destroying this village in which we live. As a shinobi, it is our duty to protect our home against anything; no matter what. Even if it means risking your life. You are to young to help in this Shinobu but remember for when you are older- grow strong so you can protect your home and those you love. With that his father joined in sons on their charge towards the reaper.

Shinobu then opened his eyes and stared at the portal. Reaching back grabbing his long bow Shinobu now faced these demons with a new resolve. Not an ounce of fear sat in his body as he was ready to put his life on the line as he engaged in battle. After Tieren spoke Shinobu would continue to stare and the gate and the creatues as he thought We are a team. Cloud shinobi. I trust these guys with my life. I have nothing to fear He then said, "Let's go."

[M$]

With the movement of his leader, the Sakurai would let out a long sigh, for knew that battle was not far away. He watched as the many creatures roamed the land. They weren’t normal and there was no way for the boy to know what their intentions were, but to have an effect on the land by just appearing here, they were sure to be a threat.

Placing his hand upon the hilt of his Rezeweie Katana, fleshly lids would slowly place the ebony orbs in a momentary darkness before they were introduced to light once more, although in a much more noble form – The Sankakugan.

Advanced to the level of the Nikaku, Kira’s eyes would serve him in the battle to come. Although they were mainly meant for tracking, the details that they noticed would play a key part in the battle to come. The two ivory triangles would peer forth, noticing the way the grass bent as tone of the creatures continued to walk the lands – how marvelous these eyes were.

With the Nikaku activated, Kira would walk forth, following the lead. He hoped the battle would start soon, for his hands itched to draw his blades.

[Deleted]

And at that moment, two Fire Bolts would be released at the Anxious Shinobi. And in between the two, would be A Clyanfixx. The beast would move, slightly faster then the moving fire. The beast at 50 Mph, while the Fire at 39 Mph. Snapping it's jaw and laughing, a Dreodrixx would have left Kira's eyes. For it ran past him, at Shinobu. While the Spirikaxx would move forward somewhat the release a Holy Wind Jet at Tieren from Ten Meters away. There was nothing to be picked up on the way to Tieren, so, It would most likely be invisible all the way. These beast acted on their own. They may have not looked smart, yet, these beasts were masters at combat in their world. Like their other counterparts.

And as it laughed, the Dreodrixx would cackle and release some words.

"Come On Boy! Shoot Me and See if It Sticks like Your Flesh with to my Teeth!"

[M$]

Watching intently through the power of the Nikaku, Kira would watch as the creatures ran forth, as well as the two fire bolts being launched at him. The fire bolts would attract little attention from the boy, for he had planned to take both the bolts and the creature tagging along with them out.

Removing his tendrils from his blade, he would wait until the beast was about eight meters away before beginning a series of hand seals. Upon their completion, a small time would be bypassed until the two fire bolts were in range and then in one blazing fury, a fireball would be unleashed from the boy’s mouth.

The flame would burn the creature’s body to a crisp, as well as neutralize the threat of the two bolts.

Claiming one kill for him, Kira would spy to see what his comrades were doing. One creature had charged straight at Shinobu; Most likely he would be able to handle this himself. Shifting his gaze to Tieren, the Nikaku would pick up Ninjutsu trails, signs of a technique.

“Tieren, Move.”

Although he could not tell what it was, he knew better than to overlook it. Speaking forth in a solid tone, he would begin to make his way over to the Spirakaxx while distracted and when close enough, a simple use of Sugizo would render him close enough to jab his Chokuto through the creature’s neck.

Through the action, he would be sure to watch his back - he knew better than to leave himself vulnerable.

[Zerocloud]

From a far distance Shinobu peered down at the creatures with absolute focus and bewilderment. What the hell could these things want... he wondered to himself. At the moment though; this was irrelevant.

Suddenly, the monsters struck. Two fire bolts as well as a small demon with a shield for the head charged at Kira but Shinobu's attention was on the creature charging towards him. For a very brief moment Shinobu locked eyes with the demon. He saw absolute hate and bloodlust as it was obvious that this creature wanted nothing more than to taste the blood of this young Genin.

"Come On Boy! Shoot Me and See if It Sticks like Your Flesh with to my Teeth!"

It charged at Shinobu with such ferocity that in any other moment his body would have involuntarily shook with fright. However, in his current mind set Shinobu's body did not quake.

Instead he quickly performed two simple hand seals. Chakra then began to flow into his right hand as he immediately reached behind his back and grabbed a single biting arrow. He knocked the arrow and drew back on his bow as quick as he could without losing any accuracy. The whole while Shinobu was instilling chakra into the arrow, enhancing it into a far more dangerous arrow.

Due to the beast charging straight at Shinobu his shot was far more likely to strike on target. He aimed his biting arrow directly between the eyes of the beast. In every moment the beast came dangerously closer but more than 35 meters away, giving him just enough time to fire his shot at a safe distance. Once Shinobu was finished knocking his bow and aiming at the creature he was about 20 meters away. He took a split second to make sure his aim was perfect. Once the beast was about 10 meters away Shinobu fired, creating a loud whistling sound which echoed through the area. His special Seiryokushittou no Jutsu would spin this arrow with such velocity that it would slice through the air with much more force and speed than any normal arrow. Aided from his jutsu, his arrow will surely penetrate the flesh of the beast as it can penetrate almost any substance and perhaps it may even send the beast spiraling backwards. If the arrow did penetrate, the structure of the biting arrow will cause it to tear into the flesh, grabbing onto the interior of the beast and biting them apart, causing extreme pain.

Seiryokushittou no Jutsu (Force Shot Technique)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user draws back an arrow and instills it with chakra. When the user releases the arrow, the chakra within the arrow will cause the arrow to spin in a rapid fashion, increasing both velocity and trajectory and allowing a forceful entry into the opponent. The arrow spinning is so strong that it could easily puncture through wood or a thin layer of metal.
Special: Horse, Dog seals in that order.
Drawback: The spinning arrow makes a lot of noise. A high-pitched whistling noise can be heard from a fair distance and provides a high amount of warning for the opponent. Not effective for assassinations.
Description: Gathering chakra as an arrow is knocked and drawn, the user fires the arrow. The chakra causes high spinning and a high noise, but allows for easy penetration of almost any type of substance. It is extremely damaging and due to the winds being drawn along with the arrow, can cause a forceful push backwards for the target when struck.
Limit: Anybody can learn.

(The link to the Dreodrixx isn't working so a brief description would be much appreciated)

[Tieren]

As the attacks were made, it was time to fight. Tieren watched the battle ensue, waiting for something to come at him... and it did... As the others dealt with other attacks, Tieren saw the creature running toward Shinobu thrust his hands forward toward him. That in itself made Tieren move quickly to the right, missing the attack. But it was also Kira's words that made him move as well. Tieren knew that Kira had a Doujutsu that could see things like that. But Tieren was never one to take chances. Just the sight of the creatures hands launched at him made him realize that it was time to move.

Though Tieren's teammates had seemed to have taken care of the creatures that were there at first. So Tieren just said aloud "Keep your eyes open!" while extending his staff to its full length (5 and a half feet). He would then wait for more creatures to stand there as well as keeping his eye behind him. He wasnt about to let others overtake him. He had come close to death many times before and he wasnt about to now.

[Aero]

As Cross had wandered through the Land of Snow he felt the temperature begin to raise, and the surroundings seem more durable. He looked around to see the snow gone, and the ground baren and seeming to be burned. He then spotted it, a large object before him, about two hundred meters from where he stood. A grand object, it looked like some gate of fire. He then spotted a battle, he grinned as his situation grew more and more interesting and entertaining.

"It's not freezing, and a fight. My day has finally gotten better," he thought to himself as he unzipped his jacket slightly, slipping his left shoulder out from under it. This would aid in his ability to draw upon his bones. The small white haired boy would gaze upon the fight at first trying to grasp a good idea on who he should attack and who he should aid.

As he watched he took note to the fact that three regular humans seemed to be being attacked by a larger group of enemies. He would even the sides as best he could, choosing to aid the humans. He also was annoyed at the grotesque sight of these creatures. He would rid the world of these things. His white hair hung down the red beaded bang stayed in place as his green eyes took note to every ounce of the fight.

He rushed forwards to a man dressed in blue and yellow, keeping his distance still. He would get the man's attention. "Need help!?" he shouted as he approached quickly. Stopping roughly five meters from the boy. He didn't truly care, he just wanted to make it clear who's side he was on.

[M$]

“Kill Number 2.”

The boy would grip the hilt of his blade tightly as he removed his Chokuto long blade from the creatures neck. The blade smelled of rotted flesh and its once pure blade, was not tainted in the creature’s crimson liquid. Watching as the Spirakaxx fell to the ground, Kira would place the blade back into it’s sheath, spiting upon the corpse as he turned away.

Turning to see what the results of his fire technique would yield, he would; turn to find the creature no where in sight. All that he would see would be prints left within the earth below, as well as scorch marks.

With both his threats neutralized, Kira would begin to scout out yet another creature to claim his own. He would remain on the defensive, however, for the creatures had the advantage of numbers. He would slowly make his way back to Tieren and Shinobu, as it was best to move as a team.

He would notice the newcomer, but would say nothing. He would leave it to Tieren to handle him, as he continued to watch the gate.

Ooc: Shinta has missed the IIC.

[/right]

[Zerocloud]

Shinobu's arrow screamed through the air as it reached it's target in a near instant. The arrow, aided with his force shot technique, pierced the beast's thick flesh. Blood exploded as the arrow forcefully entered the creatures body, creating a rather large entry wound. As it dug deeper into it's flesh the biting arrow latched onto every single piece of flesh it touched and ripped it apart. The entire arrow sunk into the creatures skull; tearing a very large whole into the creatures brain. As soon as the arrow struck the creatures eyes widened from the sudden shock of the attack. However, it continued to run and charge towards the young Bowman.

Shinobu simply jumped a few feet in the air to avoid the beast. He did this with ease and without fright for it was obvious the beast was no longer alive. It continued to run as though it was a chicken with no head. A few feet after it past Shinobu it fell to the ground and skidded in the rubble. Dead.

Taking care of his threat; Shinobu went and rejoined his team, as well as this new comer. As long as he's on our side Shinobu thought to himself. But still, Shinobu felt like making a little small talk. While keeping his eyes focused on the three remaining creatures in front of him he would say, "Hey Tieren, who's the new kid?"

After doing so, while recieving his response, Shinobu would reach into his holster and remove a wooden arrow and knocked it onto his bow. They had the advantage of numbers so Shinobu felt confident. Yet he made sure not to overlook these demonic creatures.

(4 days remain)

Watching the attacks connect and kill off their enemies, Tieren noticed someone else come up, asking if the 3 needed some help. Tieren looked at him and noticed no headband on his body. Wondering at it for a second, Tieren then stated "If you wish to assist us, go ahead. For future reference, my name is Tieren Drasani. I am a Chuunin from the hidden cloud village. Do what you can. Aid us, and we'll aid you." Tieren would hope that this would continue to be a good choice on their part. But they didnt have much else they could do. And Tieren wasnt about to take up the oppertunity for more help.

Tieren then looked toward Kira and Shinobu and said "Stay on your toes. We've still got some more creatures to take care of." Tieren then turned to the newcomer and said "So, lets see what you can do." Tieren then kept his staff out, fully extended, and moving forward slightly, though not quickly, expecting an attack from every angle.

[Deleted]

Actually there are two left. New Dreodrixx Image up.

---

Seeing the Boy in Blue and Yellow was distracted for a moment, The Claynfixx would dash at fast speeds. At the two conversing, paying no attention to the other two Shinobi. While the Scyropixx would release another Fire Bolt. This time a Shinobu. This was a last attempt, pretty much for the Beasts Guarding this Gate.

[Aero]

OOC: Shinta you shouldn't have skipped over me, but that's your loss now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cross would hear the words of the boy in blue as he kept his green eyes focused on the beasts and the ninja before him. But when he heard the words of Cloud Village, he grew angry, but it was only to lead to more of a hatred towards these beasts. His eyes spotted a fowl beast rushing the boy named Tieren. Cross would quickly push the bone out of his left shoulder where his jacket no longer covered. His right hand would grip it tightly and rip it free from his body. "The name's Cross!" he shouted as he would then launch off quickly towards the approaching beast. Bone clenched in his right hand, trailing like a small katana in hand.

As he rushed he would raise his left hand, aiming his fingers towards the beast that he rushed at. The true aim at the beast's legs, as suddenly four small bones would launch out of the tip of his fingers, flying at blinding speeds through the air at the beast's legs. Should the beast attempt to dodge the bone bullets, Cross would quickly catch it off guard with his bone sword that he gained using his Tsubaki no Mai technique. The blade of the bone would tear through the beast like there was nothing to it.

Tsubaki no Mai (Dance of the Camellia)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique known where the user takes their own bone along their arm, and uses it in a dance formation attacking all those around, while still moving giving them the agility speed to evade certain capabilities.
Special: ---
Drawback: The first initial movement of taking out the bone costs as much as a normal "C" Rank due to its extreme size.
Description: A bone extends from the shoulder, what can be seen in the beginning resembling what appears to be a hilt, the rest of the bone still within the flesh. As the Kaguya pulls the bone from his body, it is instantly replaced with another bone in its stead, so as not to cause the Kaguya any form of discomfort. The bone itself is more katana-like, however the bone itself is less refined than that of Yanagi no mai, but that does not make it any less deadly. Lacking in the fluid grace to the extremes like that of Yanagi no Mai, the Kaguya is usually continuously on the move, making him quite the difficult target for enemies. Even though it no longer has the grace, it makes up for this loss with its impressive speed, normally striking before the opponent even has time to react. This is the Second Dance of the Kaguya.
Limit: Kaguya Bloodlimit, Must know Bone Pulling, Must know Yanagi no Mai (Dance of the Willows)


Hessendan (Finger Bullets)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique that enables the user the capability of contracting the muscles and nerves within their body to where it begins to build pressure within shooting them off with such speed to pierce the human body and some minor defenses.
Special: ---
Drawback: Whenever used the user undergoes the capability of disease under effect increasing the calcium within their body which makes them closer to dieing unless gaining medical treatment.
Description: A technique that launches finger bones in a projectile like form. The Muscles and the nerves contract against one another greatly to where they somewhat spiral in within the body. When the user constricts their fingers in such a way they begin to push the bullet outwards as the bullet begins to gain pressure from the way it is constricted until the bone is projected out of the human body spiraling at high speeds being sent off towards its target.
Limit: Kaguya Bloodlimit. This is the basic of basics and must be known in order to use other Jutsus of the Bloodlimit. Must know Bone Pulling

[M$]

The boy’s ears would ring as he heard the Kaguya scream and shout out his name, as he sat upon the throne that ruled these lands. Kira’s eyes would shift over to the Kaguya as he charged forth, attempting his attack at his intended target. With him charging forward like that, Kira assumed the boy knew what he was doing and sheathed his blade. If the Kaguya got rid of this creature, there would only be one left. Four against one- which side would you choose? The Kaguya boy seemed rather small to fight in a battle like this, but Kira could only smile as he watched the boy fly forward. He would notice the other creature release the fire bolt, but he would do nothing about it; for it wasn’t headed for him. It seemed as if the creatures had been backed into a corner and were relying on last efforts. Surely, Shinobu would be able to handle this single creature and if he couldn’t, why was he here?

Hopefully, the Kaguya would finish off his prey and Shinobu would take care of his, and the team could be on their way. For now, however, Kira merely watched the events unfold. If one needed help, he would interfere, but he saw no need as of yet.

[Zerocloud]

From their distance Shinobu would be able to see both creatures launch their attacks. He would react accordingly and pay little attention to the one attacker Tieren and the others for one of the demons had just launched a bolt of fire towards him. The bullet of fire was shot directly at Shinobu at high speeds but Shinobu was immersed in the instinct of battle. He reflexes were sharp and he quickly dodged to the left, avoiding the fire. As he dodged he shot his arrow which he had loaded towards the creature.

As the arrow sailed towards its target, Shinobu anticipated on the creature perhaps dodging it. And so he threw his Long Bow back over his shoulders and began to summon forth what little water was still remaining in the air around them. As the water quickly collected in front of him Shinobu formed the handseals needed for his technique. As soon as Shinobu finished the handseals he would shout, "Suiton - Haretsu Mizu-mari" and the single sphere of water in front of him would split in three fist sized balls of water. Using his hands, Shinobu orchestrated these deadly chakra infused spheres of water to attack this monster. Due to being able to control the ball's direction, if the beast dodged the single arrow these spheres would follow wherever he dodged to. Two would go to either side of the creature and the remaining one would soar high above it before quickly crashing onto its skull. All of the spheres would meet at the same time and as they did Shinobu would detonate them, sending many shards of shrapnel into the creature.

Shinobu was unaware if the beast was dead or not so for a few seconds he stared at the creature, searching for any signs of movement. If there were any then he would have to launch another attack so that he would make certain it wouldn't get up again. If the beast did stay down then Shinobu would look towards his comrades and see whether or not they needed any help.

Suiton Soushi (Water Creation)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user who is part of the Haku Bloodlimit takes this into consideration to where they are capable of forming moving and molding water techniques without great effort. The Chakra consumption for using their water techniques that is used is smaller then that of a normal water ninja.

Description: By taking the molecules within the air the user is capable of taking shape and form of techniques within the air to create a formation of water. By doing so the user creates and conjunctions of water so then the user may use their techniques for any type of form that they wish. This is in conjunction for any other technique that user needs in order for the user to use their techniques. In conjunction with this technique a user can do from creating a ball of water around the palm of their hands to even create a large typhoon if needed.

Once formed the user will use his/her will to move the orbs towards a target or group of targets and use his/her chakra to detonate them. When they explode they will send out shards and shrapnel of chakra-hardened water in all directions.
Limit: Water Release, Requires a water source

[Tieren]

So... It seemed that what Tieren had hoped for had actually happened. Tieren actually wanted someone to attack from behind so that the one who had just revealed his name to be Cross would be able to take care of it. Quickly spinning around as Cross passed him, Tieren retracted and holstered his staff, pulling out his Naginata. In case Cross happened to miss the demon that had attacked, Tieren would be capable of initiated a back-up plan. Tieren soon followed Cross, to where if the demon had dodged the attack, then Tieren would swing his naginata.

Due to the fact that it would be done immidiately after the dodge occured, unless the demon had incredible reflexes, he would no longer have a head. Though he was careful to watch out for Cross and not hit him should this have to occur. Either way, chances are, the creature is dead. So Tieren would look back to Cross and say "Nice work, Cross Kaguya." He was able to infer the last name due to the fact that he was able to manipulate his bones. But something bugged Tieren. Cross had gotten angry the moment that Tieren had mentioned the village. Now it could just be mere coincidence because of the impending attack on Tieren, but he had a feeling that that wasnt quite it.

If the two would have a chance to talk again in the future, Tieren would ask him about that. But for now, Tieren looked around, trying to see what else was there, as he held the twin bladed weapon in his hands, ready to strike at the first sign of enemy movement.

[Edit: In terms of EST (my time zone), I have 2 days left before I leave to a friends house. Ill be gone for a week and a half, though I am unsure as to how often I will be able to get on. I know I will be able to, but I dont know how often. So, in the event that I miss the IIC time while I am gone, I give someone, anyone, full control over my character (Besides Shinta...) If there is a problem, Please PM me so I can know so this is cluttered with anymore OOC stuff.]

[Deleted]

Sadly, the last attempt at killing these folk were cut short by Shinobu and Cross.

Then the gate would send a Blast of Heat outward.

This Gate was now open, and ready for the four shinobi to enter. Would they not enter, or would they?

Posting Order: Shinta, Kira, Shinobu, Tieren, Cross.

I was posting this to tell Kira it's his post. I will delete this after posting resumes. Shinta and I talked about it via pm so please Kira go ahead and post.
