—kage dinner. [event thread]

[zuka]

OOC: I noticed Beltran cleverly left out the limit of the Bunshin no Jutsu. Luckily, I already knew the limit myself and checked your bio for the proper requirements. I thought it was a bit odd, and sure enough I found you have no perceptions. Therefore, Beltran's clones do not actually exist and were never created.

--------------------

IC:

Now that the first blood had been shed, the crimson liquids staining the ground, the tension would break and all at once reform. Receiving no word from the Amekage, he would watch as what was apparently the true Ame nin speak and come forward. Embarassed at this mistake of his, the Aburame would find himself curling around the mass of clones, taking place closer to where Netami had once stood within her guards defense. Within him the insects stirred, restless and defiant against his will. They wanted to devour, to destroy, to kill.

Alas, he would refrain, containing the Kikai within. There would come the time when he would need to aid his fellow Kages, but now was not the time. For now he stood, hands together before him as he looked at both Netami and the group of Amekage's. The nuke-nin had, at this point, returned to the room. He seemingly challenged them, as vengeance was surely the desirable goal in this situation. Who would let the Kage die in such vain? He who wanted to instill the presence of other nations in the world, and now dead because of a rude interruption.

It was a risky situation. The sword that he carried leaked blood, as it so seemed. Yet, the sanguine fluid contained a corrosive ability. Surely they could all die in this very room. Would things be allowed to escalate to that point, though? Fairly outnumbered, he still stood with extreme confidence. It was surely that blade of his; perhaps it could have been his own ignorance to the odds against him. Nevertheless, it was not yet the Takikage's business to intrude. The look of fear in his eyes no longer resided. Rather, awe and curiousity stood glaring at the man with the blade. It would truly be a fight worth seeing.

[jenzo]

Jenzo smiled weakly, performing such a powerful technique had drained most of his strength away. Officially, he should be considered easy picking to his enemies. However, he was considered one of the most powerful Suna Warriors in all the lands. Even with half his strength depilated, he still had more power then most of the individuals in this room, but strength didn’t always equal victory. It was determination. If there was anything he learned in the many years he traveled, it was you can never judge a book by its cover. It was an experience he normally learned the hard way.

His smile grew as the faint memories of his past surfaced.

It didn’t last long when everyone began to speak to one another. His attention turned towards the Amekage. He seemed somewhat amazed that the crustacean was talking to them. This was normal to him, Jenzo had one-sided conversations with his own companion who would only simply snarl and moan. His attention slid towards the crab who addressed him as ’Buff-san’. The creature was asking around for any sweets. Trying to comply with the strange creatures request, his hands began to rummage around his pockets in hope to find some candy of sorts. Eventually after a few moments of searching, he pulled out a small lollipop. Normally, he cared jawbreakers with him since they lasted a lot longer then any other candy, while he was working in the lab. But it seemed he accidentally picked up a lollipop by mistake and forgot about it.

His eyes fell upon the creature once again, he listen to her with a faint smile and tossed her the sucker gently.

“People in Suna use doors, but the Kazekage like to be a little eccentric at time and rush without thinking” He said with a bit of a chuckle. Her other question went unanswered for a moment, his eyes shifted towards the door and gazed outside watching the darkness. “I turned it into a corporeal being, a mirror image of myself to be exact.”

Silence…

After speaking with the crustacean, the battle outside fell into silence. Jenzo had already knew who won the fight, his mind was linked with his double ganger. They conversed shortly after the Mizukage feel, guilt washed over him. There was nothing he could have done for the Kage in time, he should have leaped into action and took the Mizukage’s place in combat and let him continue on with the meeting with the others. But his curiosity got the better of him once again. Though the Mizukage told them to leave the matter to him, he should have ignored his interest of seeing the Mizukages skill.

When the Nuke-nin walked into the room asking if anyone would avenge the Mizukage. His eyes flared wide open, his muscles began to tense up. He was infuriated with the man, he wanted revenge, but he bite his tongue and remember the small promise he made to the Tsuchikage. He wouldn’t leave his seat. However, the thought of bashing the man over the head with the chair did cross his mind.

Jenzo slowly began to clap, applauding the man after everyone had spoke to him.

“I Commend You Nuke-Nin” He said with a big grin on his face, “You barraged into a meeting of high ranking people and defeated the man who brought us all here. Either your very brave or very foolish.” His head titled towards the side as he arched back to look at the individual.

“Now tell us the reason why you so boldly come here for?” Jenzo had to admit he was curious of the man’s action.

While everyone was focused on the Nuke-nin. Jenzo’s double ganger along with Kitsui walked out of the darkness to follow behind the Nuke-nin. They didn’t step inside, but merely lingered in the buildings light watching everyone from the outside. They didn’t try to hide themselves this time, they just stood there in the open staring at everyone like wolves stalking there next pray.

Sad Kitsui thought as he saw the Mizukage’s body.

[The Heron]

More men came still, my nostrils flaring and ears twitching, absorbing the information when my eyes could not. My fury had abated somewhat, tempered by my contempt for their cowardice. Perhaps the intricacies of politics had dulled their warrior spirits? A few, I observed, where not so given to inaction, but they too, seemed ruled by diplomacy. And, in a category all her own was the Tsuchikage, as she sauntered over, hips swaying from left to right. It was an astute observation to make in the midst of men who had intentions to kill me, and one that I took great pleasure in making.

“Kaniwakai,” I intoned, ignoring their questions, though I had offered a mocking ‘thumbs-up’ when the Kazekage’s guard went so far as to commend me. “Report.”

She crushed the late Mizukage’s table in a bid to shuffle closer. “Meh,” she started with a shrug, “they were alright before.” She paused, bobbing one of her stalked eyes in the direction of the men behind me. “That’s the shadow I spoke about – Buff-san made it.” She paused again – I recognized her stance as a thoughtful pose. “It was the Tsuchikage who ordered them all off – but you probably heard,” she added in an aside, “and the Kazekage ran through the wall to get outside and watch you fight, supposedly. I think he was just scared.”

I accepted her report with a brisk nod, somehow calmed by the raging energies of Mudhalara still coursing through my veins. I wondered if any of them knew how close to death they were, if they knew the ease with which I could spin and fend off both front and back with speed as such that few of them could match. I’d probably die too, in the midst of killing them, but I had not yet fulfilled my goals, and death was not a venture I’d like to partake. If this were a war it would be best to end the leaders of so many countries here and now, but alas, I was not yet at war.

“I came to see the new Kage, having been expecting the previous; a shame he had to die,” I ended with a sardonic grin. “Tsuchikage, Amekage, Takikage – I’ll be seeing you. “ I had no words for the Kazekage – he knew what I thought of him, wherever he was.

“Bye Buff-san, Shadowbuff-san, and random-dude!” Kaniwakai waved her pincers at the two, clearing the space for a Sugizou and a shunshin…

And on that ominous, awkward note – I left.

[—suzaku.]

The Suzaku turned hesitantly towards the fleeting Hiromasa, stimying his urge to pursue the vagabond and instead turning back to the Kage gathered around him. He acknowledged them with a curious tip of his head, and then collapsed into a puddle of water, which nestled itself lethargically between the splintered remnants of the dinner table.

"You'll have to forgive me," came a voice from around the fractured corners of a wall that the Kazekage had become all too familiar with in his moment of weakness. "...I don't believe I've introduced myself."

The figure which followed the voice around the corner looked identical to the bunshin that had confronted the nukenin. He wore a long kimono which drug along the floor's surface, and a porcelain mask covered much of his face.

"I am Kou Takeda," he continued, gently pulling the mask from his facade, "..Sannin of Kirigakure."

He offered the Kages a warm smile, then swept his arm across the room. When it returned to his side, he took a step deeper into the office. It was at this moment that he made a soft pivot, and glanced out to the garden.

"Allow me to apologize on behalf of the late Mizukage; it appears whatever message he wished to deliver shall forever remain unknown--though, I hope we might find it possible to salvage this meeting."

[Beltran]

Leaping down from the rooftop, Areno landed upon the spot of sand he created. Punching his feet into the ground as jumped, he quickly absorbed a large amount of sand he transformed from Mist's area. "Hiromasa... as the Kazekage... as the voice of reason and justice... You will be punished accordingly" he softly spoke to himself. With a guttural scream, Areno began to shoot in height and weight, to two feet higher than he previously was. Walking through the hole he created shouting loudly, he broke the silence that fell upon the summit. "You... have no words for me Hiromasa?! He shouted in annoyance and anguish. Who was this fool who refused to take him seriously. With the extra sand he had absorbed, As he walked, he raised his right fist to the sky, his right hand grew tremendously large, thrice it's original and normal size. His henge dropped, standing before his fellow Kages, the ivory Sandman. Featureless, as if god himself had stripped him of humanly features.

His massive fist ripping through the top of the building, leaving a path of destruction in it's wake, he would attempt to smash the Nukenin with the mixed colored sand giant arm smashing the spot that Hiromasa stood. "I am your Judge Hiromasa! I am also your Executioner!" he screamed in a high pitched tone as Heki took control of Areno. "I hope you're not planning on going anywhere by foot! You'll be leaving in a body bag from Kirigakure!" He screamed in the laughter of the insanity that overtook him. The only thing running through his mind... death to the Bloody missing nin.

Baka wa shinanakya naoranai. It was an appropriate sentiment, given the situation. I realized the Kazekage’s intentions even before he bellowed them – before he could be as stupid as to crush my innocent afterimage, and, with a casual leap, graced still by the raptures of Mudhalara, I flicked Suijin in an artful arc, unleashing a blast of air to blow the Kazekage back out of his stupid hole onto the grounds below. {If he remained somehow unmoved by the force of the wind, he'd find himself under swift assault by the acidic blood mist I seemed to be waving about happily - no, better to hope that he moved than face the agony of Chikiri.} Aptly, I followed him out, adding more vault to my jump to carry me further. Kaniwakai, in a show of sudden intelligence, poofed away, no doubt off to tell her kinsmen of what had transpired.

I continued to vault further away still, amassing enough distance for the idea that was blossoming in my mind. I took a moment to appreciate the sheer strength of my ears and nose, able to discern so much - I gave half a thought to Kyouku, waiting out in the country, thankful that I'd left the prideful wolf their. He'd be more hurt than help.

I immediately turn to face the Kage Office, should any of the ninja chase me out, deactivating the Initial gate in the same breath. There was strength in numbers, and I was severely short on them – not for long. Within moments I’d summoned Kanibosu, and from there it took only seconds more to bring Kanisoku and Kanikei into the fray. Experienced and battle-hardened, they needed no instruction.

“Kaniwakai only had time to tell us that you counted four kages and their retainers amongst your enemies.” Kanibosu erupted in a roaring bass; he who towered over all.

“Hai. All of them may not fight – some of them seem subdued, as they’ve been rendered impotent, their balls snatched away… and some content to ignore their fellow Kages plight in favor of their own protection. Prepare for them all, and hope that some of them show reason.” My hands clasped, fingers itching to move, flowing into a pattern as easily as if it were natural.

Grimly, each summon prepared their respective devastating abilities.

My eyes sparked open.

A Sannin was among us! And a seemingly humble one at that. It was interesting that a man of such reverence would be found at a meeting of village leaders — it seemed more likely to find a Sannin stopping an erupting volcano or fighting hordes of demons. Interesting indeed.

A slight grin formed upon my face, for I felt as though this was fate. The man before us held the title that I aspired to claim.

"Harukani Sakurai — Future Sannin of Iwagakure."

An intense gleam of determination radiated from my eyes; my dream would become a reality. Believe it.

[Deleted]

The Kazekage was right. How could I let this man get away with this murder before my eyes? I wouldn't. As I watched from inside the room, I could see his chakra build up, and a summoning was about to be preformed. It looks like he didn't intend to leave peacefully. Not that I'd let him. Myself, and all of my clones would walk outside, and as I did I would warn all of what was coming.

"It looks like this idiot isn't finished. He's summoning something else. Be ready."

[/center]


As he was summoning the last of the three, I would jump up to the roof, making sure I had area's behind me in case I needed to move from any technique. My clones of course followed me. He would know not of which one was the real me. I completed a few handseals, and the clones followed my exact movements. I did this of course, do he would know not which one of me was the real one. Soon, a strong mist filled the area. Unless he had MPGs or some chakra seeing eye, he would be blind. Though this may hamper the other kages, I don't really care at the moment. Should things get dicey, I could always dissipate it.

[yeahyouknow]

She was completely ignored, something that Netami, or Koushoku had never been before. It seemed that Hiromasa had no interest in answering their questions. Netami's hazel eyes wandered away from the Nuke-nin for a moment as he scanned the room. Soon the man decided to leave, welcoming all of them to take a look at his back. Who did he think he was? Barging into the meeting, killing the man that had brought them all here, and for no reason? He would simply leave without a response. Koushoku would not take this lightly, she could not let him leave after what he had done, she would eliminate him, or at least help in his fall. Walking forward behind the Amekage she would stop before the large door by which both Hiromasa and the Hidden Rain's leader had left from.

''Harukani, my lance!'' She declared, turning towards him and waiting for him to throw her the weapon.

Yet something would happen, a shift that went completely unnoticed to the men within the room. To them the Tsuchikage was simply staring into the air without reason. As quickly as Koushoku had wrestled her way out of Netami's protections, Netami would do the same. The real Tsuchikage took control once more of their body, the demon being sealed once more within her. The emerald-haired kunoichi had been aware of everything that had happened yet she said nothing, she did not want to upset any of the people, her personal demon had been a secret only known to her, she was not even sure it truly existed. Waiting for Harukani to throw her the Gamyusa Mori, Netami spoke out loud, her leadership qualities were finally being displayed toward everyone present.

''Souzen, Harukani, let us aid the Amekage, let us protect him and block anything that is thrown towards him by our enemy. Let us not have the Mizukage's death go unpunished. Let us fight as if this was Iwagakure.'' Netami explained her voice clear yet only audible to the people within the room. Hopefully the other shinobi within, for example the Sand Sannin and the Takikage would want to aid them in helping the Amekage.

[ryo]

Her Lance? Combat? Now?

I hadn't the time to figure out why lady Kishiyagi was straying from the usual, peaceful tactics that Iwagakure seemed to uphold.

"You got it, milady!", I said, grinning, as one of my hands shot from within my Kimonos' sleeve and grasped the tool tightly before sending it airborne to the Tsuchikage. No sooner were orders issued - I was liking where this was going. My objective? To aid the Amekage! Souzen and myself were put on defense, and were to block anything coming toward him.

'Exciting!', I thought, again with the smile as my hands returned to their previous position. No sooner did I rush to the rooftop of the building, and immediately was enveloped in a dense fog. Almost automatically, my eyes - Sansuegan - made a transition; I could see things more clearly now. I stood at the Amekages' right flank, leaving a good 3 or so meters between us - we all needed our own space, y'know?

"Harukani Sakurai"

Even in the midst of battle, I showed the courtesy that was instilled within the very fiber of my being. Surely my grandfather would be proud.

I would watch apathetically as my lady dared to venture forth from my protections to admonish the bloodthirsty wretch who lay before us. Yet, he would not even give her a moment of his time, instead he would summon forth vast crabs, no doubt his allies. Lazuli occuli would narrow in disdain, did he dare to even harbor the notion of harming Netami? Oh yes, I could feel the bile rise in my throat at the sickening thought of such a depraved act, even as the air outside turned to billowing mist.

It seems I was stuck between a rock and a hard place when my lady uttered her commands. Fluidly my hands would clasp together in a intricate medley, conforming the zodiac twelve to me as I walked forward. Reaching Netami's position I would once more envelop her within my cocoon of water and whirling flower petals. Should Harukani move beside he would likewise fall under my protection.

Hand seals completed a massive orb of water would form above my head. A orb of water would form above my crown, and from it thirty whips of water would shoot out. These would form another protective layer, even as my hands formed more hand seals. However, even as that happened I would attempt to discern the Amekage's location in the mist, but it would prove futile. How could I protect him if I could not see him?

Thud!

The Kazekage would collapse to the earth with a mighty crash, his form dissolving as what was once human had turned to sand. The earth flowed up from beneath him, creating a crater as it turned to sand, adding to his form and increasing his size. This behemoth raised a fist, no longer the Kazekage in his eyes but some kind of demonic spawn. Yet, for whatever hellish creature had birthed this sand-man, he still had the righteous heart of a God. He claimed judgement on the nuke-nin, and soon the battle had begun.

From the moment that behemoth touched the earth, Iizuka's hands would already be twisting around themselves in the intricate zodiac. Chakra coursing through his veins, his eyes would alight with bloodlust as he glared at the earth below both Hiromasa and Areno. Gaea herself would collapse underneath his will; the footing beneath the two ninja would soon be forgotten as the pit was created. The massive orifice that now rest in the earth would soon be the bane of the Chikiri, as well as the Kazekage's form.

There would only be a few feet of earth left before the doors of the Tower that had not collapsed, the Takikage walking forward and past the others to look into the deep crater. Immediately, the insects would begin to erupt from his body, swirling about his entity as they began to amass just above his own head. The dark cloud expanded continuously, Mushi invading the air space and thickening the shadows below. He would await there as the mist would soon be closing in, moving back again to look towards the other Kages.

"Let him suffer for his actions."

OOC: Note that your summons have not been summoned due to the timing of my technique. By preventing chakra flow, you are not able to summon them.

For each Difficulty class the User is the larger number this distance becomes. Each Difficulty class after C The distance increases by Ten meters. This means that if a user becomes S Rank in Difficulty Class and learns the S Rank Version of this technique the user is capable of formulating Rock within a Seventy-Five meters Radius.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release

Iizuka, you’re in the pit with me – read the effect and description of your technique again. Also note that the techniques used below are taijutsu based. EDIT: I deacitvated the gate after I sprinted away from the tower - seeing as how that's been interrupted, I still have the gate open. Just in case some of you thought it was vague.

As I vaulted from the room I felt the ominous pressure of Tartarus against my back – I knew the sensation immediately, as I was well-versed in its use. I turned to face the fool who’d thought to capture me, and as I spun I released a jet of Chiyoku from Benihime, drenching the unfortunate Takikage. Despite the depth and size of the pit, he wasn’t so far away that I needed any more than four blood beads to cover him.

Still blessed by the wonders of the Initial Gate, as Benihime danced through the air, I wondered if it'd be worth it to simply slaughter everyone in the meeting. Undoubtedly, in the following moments, as the blood tornado burst into mist and fell over the Takikage, the chakra restrictive nature of the pit would fall and I’d be able phase into the stone of the pit and disappear, still wondering...

SPOILER: Click to show

Chiyoku (Bloodbath)
Rank: "C" "B"
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Causes a burst of blood to drench an area in front of the user.
Special: Slicing horizontally towards the target area. Uses a number of blood beads as determined by the user.
Drawback: The amount of blood capable of being created by the technique is dependent upon the rank of the technique. Need to know other Chiyoku techniques before this one is capable of doing anything besides drenching an area with blood.
Description: Chiyoku (Bloodbath) is a basic attack meant to cover an area with blood. This blood can be used with other Chiyoku techniques to attack the opponent. In order to perform the attack, the user will focus their chakra within a number of blood beads, with the number being up to the user. Then, slashing horizontally with Benihime, the user will release a fast-moving wave of blood that splatters a cone area in front of the user. At "C" Rank, each blood bead is capable of completely covering one meter. At "B" Rank, each blood bead is capable of completely covering five meters. At "A" Rank, each blood bead is capable of completely covering ten meters. The movement is incredibly quick, making it difficult to dodge.
Limit: Must have Settouchi.

Chiyoku: Kigen (Bloodbath: Rise)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Causes the blood splattered upon the ground by the Chiyoku technique to rise within the air, up to five meters.
Special: Performing a vertical slash from the ground up with Benihime.
Drawback: The height that the blood can rise is dependent upon the user's difficulty class. It rises one meter in height for every rank the user has in Difficulty Class.
Description: Chiyoku: Kigen is a technique that is fairly simple to comprehend. By slashing horizontally, from ground to sky, the user will cause the blood that was splattered by the Chiyoku technique to rise off of the ground. It is capable of rising one meter off of the ground for every rank of Difficulty Class that the user has achieved [D=1, S=5]. This technique is used in conjunction with other Chiyoku techniques.
Limit: Must have Chiyoku.

Chiyoku: Arashi (Bloodbath: Storm)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Causes all the blood that has risen into the air from Chiyoku: Kigen to harden and rapidly spin around the opponent.
Special: Twirling Benihime around above the user's head. The twirling must continue for the duration of the Storm.
Drawback: The user must continue to twirl the blade above their head for the duration of the technique.
Description: After the blood has been risen from the ground following the Bloodbath technique, the user will then raise Benihime above their hand and begin to rapidly twirl the blade. The motion of the blade, combined with the user's chakra in both the sword and the blood released by Benihime will cause the risen blood to rapidly begin to twist and twirl, creating a sphere of rapidly moving blood that can be used to trap an opponent within its' confines. Because of the motion of the blood, it requires a "B" rank attack or higher to penetrate the Storm and allow freedom. This ability is capable of being combined with other Chiyoku techniques.
Limit: Must have Chiyoku: Kigen.

Chiyoku: Henge (Bloodbath: Transformation)
Rank: "A" Rank
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Causes all the blood that has been created by the use of the Chiyoku technique to transform from regular blood into Chikiri (Blood Mist).
Special: Performing a horizontal cut, followed by a vertical cut through the center of the horizontal cut, and then resuming whatever motions the user was performing before they performed this ability.
Drawback: The strength of the attack is directly limited by the user's rank of Nake: Chikiri no Kabe (Sing: Blood Mist Wall).
Description: A technique that is usually performed while the opponent is caught within Chiyoku: Arashi, this ability transforms the regular blood released from the use of the Chiyoku technique into that of actual Chikiri (Blood Mist). This is used as a final attack, and is difficult to escape from, although the strength of the attack is limited to the user's rank of Nake: Chikiri no Kabe.
Limit: Must have Chiyoku: Arashi and at least Nake: Chikiri no Kabe "B" Rank.

Doton: Iwagakure no Jutsu (Earth Element: Hiding in Stone Technique)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to phase in and out of rock in order to evade attacks or track opponents.
Special: ---
Drawback: Can only be used on stone. Cannot perform handseals or attacks while phasing through stone.
Description: By applying the principles of Underground fish projection, the user is able to quickly sink in and out of stone on a whim, avoiding virtually all damage. By simply focusing doton charka through their body, the user will briefly change the same color as the surrounding rocks before vanishing from sight. As they travel through the ground, no other skills can be performed, but their movement speed is dramatically faster so long as the user stays within stone. This skill is only usable 5 times a day once trained; however, this jutsu can be retrained in order to obtain the ability to add another usage.
Limit: Earth Release. 500 TP in earth release. Underground fish projection.

[Beltran]

As Areno leaped down from his perch, little did he know that the nuke-nin had read him so quickly. The cone of wind did little to him, blowing a layer of sand from his body and blowing him backwards through a wall and squarely into another. Down and spread eagle on the ground, he struggled to get back up, pain upon his face for the first time in god only knows how long. His heart had jostled within his body upon impact. He began to lose consciousness, slipping into darkness he raised his hand in a desperate attempt to command the sand on his back to strike back upon the man who had lashed out at him. "Desert... Coff..."

It was a futile gesture, in mid gesture his sand fell from the air, his hand beginning to shut. His body began to shift and slowly fall apart. A massive burst of chakra surrounded the Suna Hito, protecting his body at all costs. Sand was drawn in like a vacuum from around him from the pit of Sand he created, to the sand in his gourd. It compacted around him in an extremely hard box, protecting his heart from damage and death. From within, he slumbered.

Suna Sensu: Saishuu Suna Hako (Sand Style: Ultimate Sand Box)
Rank: "S"
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary.
Effect: Upon loose of control of the users character, or falling unconscious, sand around the user charges towards them forming a protective box to safeguard them from further harm.
Special: Must be knocked Unconscious or loose control of your character for this to work.
Drawback: Does not work without an outside source of sand. Use it automatic, cannot be controlled, is used against the users will to protect them.
Description: ::Picutre:: Sand around the user immediately surrounds them encasing them with a protective barrier of sand when ever they become unconscious or loose control over their own body, their chakra flares around them, causing all nearby sand to almost magnetis' to their being, forming a sort of sand box. The box looks like a butterflies would, however is stronger in a way to protect the user. The body reacts to preserve life at all costs. User automatically sends a shock wave of "S" Rank amount of chakra out of their body to do this. If the user gains control of their character, the box breaks open, as sand falls harmlessly to the ground, as does the user, mixing in with the normal sand along the floor, making it seem as though the user has vanished, even though they did not. Only lasts a 48 hour time period before the box disperses either way. The box is as hard as Mythril and can withstand Two "S" Ranks worth of damage before being pierced and broken.
Limit: Must be a Suna Hito, Must Know Karada Souran "B", Must have 500 TP within Suna Hito Techniques, once you do this technique is automatically gained.

Well, you've assured your death, iizuka. I told you not to use tartaru's pit, and you did it anyhow. You should have listened to me D=
__________________________________-

That movement.... My eyes could see that movement again. My Sharingan gave me an edge. Three seconds before he would finish his movement (Hiromasa) I would summon a puppet. Already being 30 meters away, I would be at a safe distance from what was to come. The puppet quickly made it's way there, and just as the blade was about to release the mist, Hiromasa would stop. I would have control over him. A chakra string controlled his body, allowing me to force him to do as i pleased. He was strong, so it would only last another 3 seconds, but it did not matter. This was plenty enough time. Right as I would gain control of him, I would pull the string attached to the Eyeball puppet.

"BOOM!"

[/size][/center]


As Hiromasa could not move, he would be hit by the brunt of the explosion, and the shrapnel. This would most likely kill him. Unfortunately for the Takikage, it would most likely kill him as well. The explosion traveled out 24 meters from the point of origin in all ways, and the shrapnel traveled out 28 meters. I was out of range by only 2 meters, but it was enough.

"Arrivederci..."

Sharingan (写輪眼 "Copy Wheel Eye,") 2nd Tomoe
Rank: "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The Second Tomoe Eye can allow the Uchiha clan member to track the movement of an opponent and do some minor copying of an opponents attack. This technique will also allow the user to pierce Genjutsu and see the surrounding reality for what it really is with greater accuracy. The user when learning the second tomoe they are capable of going into other forms of jutsus that deals and consists with the second eye. This can help them tell if a person is trapped in a Genjutsu, or if an attacker is a real threat or merely a bunshin.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user can not copy techniques which are unique to another bloodline. User must have the Release, or Perception in order to copy the type of Release or Perception they wish to learn. The user is incapable of copying a technique that has specific prerequisites such as another technique is needed first.
Description: Sharingan (写輪眼 "Copy Wheel Eye,") 2nd Tomoe The eyes of the user turns red in color with a black pupil in the middle. Two Tomoe (Comma) appears along the opposite ends of the eyes. Each eye gains two Tomoe. At this stage the user is growing more powerful within the capabilities of seeing into what exactly the Sharingan truly is. At this stage the user's eye seems somewhat better as they are capable of piercing more into GenJutsus. At this stage they are capable of predicting minor movements, as well as copying minor techniques. When the user first gains the second tomoe the user is capable of seeing through GenJutsus of "B" Rank and under. At this stage the user is capable of predicting minor movements of the user. The user is capable of predicting three movements. At this point the user is capable of copying techniques. The type of copying does not add into the user's overall Training Points within a Class Level. When a user copies a technique to learn for every regular training point a user gets the user will get an additional training point which is called Sharingan Points. These points allows a user to learn techniques faster, but this affects the user's learning capabilities but not the overall Training Points to raise a Class Level.

Effect: Allows the user the capability of controlling a life being by using chakra strings, by controlling them as if they were a puppet.
Special: Chakra strings
Drawback: Lasts as long as how strong the user is, and how weak the opponent is.
Description: The user wraps their chakra strings around the opponent as they suddenly take control of the body of the opponent in a devastating manner. As the chakra strings wrap around, the user concentrates on the chakra and emits out a pulse to the muscle tissue along the body to change position in a fast manner. While under control the opponent is under control for only a set amount of time, this time lasts as long as how strong the user is and how weak the opponent is. This lasts as long as the rank of the puppeteer and what rank the opponent is. If a user and the opponent is the same rank as one another, such as if two were both B Rank, then the technique lasts for only one post. For every ran the opponent is below the user, the technique lasts for another round. This means that if the user is a B Rank Ninja, and they use the technique on a D Rank Ninja, then the technique lasts for three rounds.

[—suzaku.]

The events following Hiromasa's attempted departure were sudden; in the few moments that passed, the Suzaku was able to discern much about those that stood around him. He learned of their prowess and of their bravery--he learned of their cowardice, and of their recklessness. And amongst it all, one thing stood out to him.

Let us fight as if this was Iwagakure

These Kage put their life on the line for the Village Hidden in the Mist; they took arms against a ninja that by alrights they could have ignored. They would not die. They would not taste defeat. The vermillion bird would not allow it. The Gods would not have it.

"Careful," he said, his voice soft, even in the thickening tides of battle. "Amekage-sama is a bit reckless." Swiftly, the Sannin moved from his position in the center of the room to a point directly infront of Netami and her subordinates. His hands danced swiftly before him, and with a single whisp of his breath, a wall of water was born between them and the oncoming shrapnel, fully protecting the Iwa-nin from any remnants of the Amekage's explosion.

It was beneath the guise of that same wall that the Sannin drew his own blood, and took hold of his flute. To either side of him, and behind him, cadaverous arms reached from the ashen dirt.

"Arise, champions of the scattered wastes; dance to the eternal melody, and find euphoria in the taking of lost souls."

Since all discrepancies have been delt with up to this post, I suppose I'll just begin with the chief conflict. Iizuka & Vel vs Hiromasa

Iizuka: Hiromasa is correct; you are pulled into the pit with him. So...Have fun with that. However, on the bright side, Tarterus pit acted like a giant tampon against the wrath of Benihime.

Hiromasa: Though your Benihime techniques are taijutsu based, they still require chakra to use as does Iwagakure technique. Though you try, the blood wont react to your flailing of the sword and you'll have to rely on other means of dealing with your opponents.

Vel: Puppets wont work in the pit, even if you yourself arnt inside. Once the strings enter the hole, the chakra gets sucked away, making them worthless. Furthermore, your body control technique wont work on Hiromasa because he is 1 rank Higher than you, making it impossible for you to restrain him.

The Scene: Well, despite having massive OOC discrepancies, these are all things that you would need to work out ICly anyways and I feel that these mistakes will add to the realism of the battle. So. Iizuka and Hiromasa are in the pit, Hiromasa figuring out that his chakra is gone. Vel; you can either RP realizing your strings wont work, or you can lose control the E rank puppet, let it fall into the pit, and figure out that chakra wont work in the hole that way. Hopefully this method will disrupt the flow of battle the least, and keep everything running smoothly.

Questions, comments, complaints? Drop me an IM. KGO.

The nuke-nin whipped about, drawing his blade and allowing it to carve gracefully through the air. Alas, the effects of Tartarus were heavy on his weapon, as no results were produced from the flailing blade. Smirking as the insects came forth from his body, they would leave a window of sight for the Aburame to keep an eye on the enemy. He would begin a swift backwards advance, still facing the enemy as he let out a good portion of his swarm. He needed to distance himself slightly from the missing nin, although he was currently about 20 meters away and increasing.

The black swarm continued to revolve around him, and it was obvious that Iizuka did not want to continue this fight alone. His want to increase the distance may have indicated this, as he was not directly attacking the nuke-nin. He wanted, and needed, the help from the other Kages and their aids. He could only hope that they would act in time to finish this ninja before he himself had been claimed by his blade. Time was running short for this battle, and so too for the Aburame.

[6th turn in First Gate, if we count the previously interrupted posts as full 'turns'.]

Well shit.

I hoped my folly wouldn't be fatal, for I realized, perhaps a moment to late, that without chakra I'd be unable to release Chiyoku. Bereft of my most devastating weapon, I would have to resort to my martial art, and hope that my speed was enough to bypass the swarming insects. Perhaps it was time to heighten the pressure...

But would the risk be worth it? Yes, I decided grimly, for I hadn't another option.

I made note of the Amekage failed attack with a half-hearted glance, my focus more so on the Takikage.

As the Takikage danced away I focused inward, frown deepening as the veins on my forehead broadened and thickened, arrayed like gnarled branches curling across my brow. Benihime and Suijin left my hands as if they'd never been their at all, and I wondered if the clever Kage could comprehend the speed of my movements.

I swept my hands up across the pouches at my waist and outward as if to spread my arms open to the world, three senbon leaping from each hand. There were chinks in the wall of Kikai, if I remembered their name right, and each one afforded me a well enough visual of the Kage to maximize the damage. One senbon for each bundle of nerves in neck and chest that would serve to slow him considerably.

With the enclosure as wide as it was, I could move out of his line of sight easily enough, and I did just that, leaving behind an afterimage as I dashed northwest, keeping away from the Kikai. I'd crossed fifteen meters without a second step, deviating from a completely linear path so that I would only be close enough to the Kikai to differentiate between each insect, and when I'd completed the triangle, aligning myself outside of the Kage's line of sight, I released another twin volley of senbon through more chinks in the Kikai wall. His left flank would take the brunt of the attack - one, for his neck, one, his shoulder, and the other his wrist.

I moved yet again, circling backward towards his rear, leaving another Sugizou to hold his mind for an extra moment. My next throw went to the tendons behind his knees, and then, throwing all caution to the wind, I blitzed the Takikage, pushing myself ahead of the senbon, testing my speed. It was my aim to meet him in the breath before the senbon struck.

He'd be met with my elbow; it would be weeks before he would be able to speak normally.

Success or no, it would be prudent to deactivate the gates, as I sensed I was nearing the limit. Should the Takikage fall, I'd phase into the stone beneath my feet and promptly retreat.

Name: Second Gate— Svādhiṣṭhāna [ Heal/Energy ]
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Taijutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The body can only go 20% of it's limits naturally, with all the gates on. With each gate, however, the body can go an extra 10% for each gate broken. The Heal Gate enables the user to push forth to 40%. When a user takes the time to break this gate, they become capable of moving .75 times faster than normal. This means that a user who is capable of performing 4 movements would be capable of performing an amount of 7 movements in total. (4 base movements + 3 movements for the ×.75)
Special: The user must concentrate within their inner body for one brief moment in order to bring forth the gate.
Drawback: Simply put, the Hachimontonkou work on a 100% scale. Unlocking the Heal Gate expends 20% of the aforementioned one hundred each round it remains open. What this means is that if you were to perform under the Heal Gate's influence for two rounds, you would have used 40% out of the allotted one hundred. BUT, the moment a user goes over this 100%, their entire musculature will begin tearing apart, resulting in short stints of temporary paralysis accompanied by shocking pains. Repairing this damage requires medical attention with a success rate of 70%.
Description: The Heal Gate is located in the sacrum and is the second of the eight celestial gates. As any taijutsu specalist knows, battle can be dangerous, and if a shinobi is taking a beating they may choose to unlock the Heal Gate which, in turn, allows them to shrug off a good deal of damage and even make their body function better for a while. The rank of any Taijutsu Attack is increased by One Rank.
Limit: Only accessible to Chakra Gate users. Must have at least 580TP in Taijutsu techniques. Must unlock the Initial Gate.

Sanjuu Senbon Tosu (Triple Senbon Throw)
Rank: C Rank
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Throws three senbon at once but very accurately.
Special: None
Drawback: Must be Senbon Taitokue Uchideshi
Description: The user holds three senbon at once with one hand and throws them very accurately no matter how little set up time for the throw. The user can be very accurate and powerful causing minor injuries.
Limit: Must be of the Senbon Taitoku, Must know the Senbon Taitoku Stance


Sugizou [used.. twice, I think.]
Rank: “C”
Uses: 15
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Creates an After Image of Self
Special: ---
Drawback: Can only be done ten times a day after learned due to abuse within Muscles, but each time trained one may do more and more. The user is only capable of making one at a time.
Description: The after image technique is the technique that allows the user to move side to side with extreme speed and towards a general direction creating an after image of the person. When learning this technique a person may only do Ten after images per day. If one wishes goes more then this number tissue has a chance to rip and tear. To be able to do more then ten per day one they must train for each again to create one more. This is the basis techniques for all techniques that may consist or deal with moves that deal with the After Image. This means that if a user wishes to know a technique that uses an after image they must have knowledge of this technique as well. Depending on how many after images a user uses within a technique is dependent on how many times this technique is known.

Muay Thai Mastery
Rank: "B"
Type: TaiJutsu
Effect: A Mastery in which a user is capable of hitting with great strength in which feels normal towards the user, however creates a larger impact against the opponent.
Special: ---
Drawback: Does not stack with any other type of combat attacks that is similar towards this type of Mastery. It does not stack up to other power hits that increase through mastery.
Description: There are rumors that state a Muay Thai Boxer is capable of hitting an opponent with such a force, that if an opponent is holding a Gym Bag, the Boxer can hit with such a force along the Bag that is capable of knocking the Bag holder out cold. This is the technique, the usage, the knowledge that enables the user such capabilities. When the user first gains so many training points within the art of Muay Thai, the user punches with the same capability towards them, however to the opponent, it feels as if they were hit with a technique one letter grade stronger then the actual technique. An example would mean that if a user hits the opponent with a "D" rank technique it feels like a "C" Rank technique. When the user continues his training in the art of Muay Thai, learning the Art of Fighting, the user has the power capability of two letters stronger then they are capable of. This means that the user punches with the capability of a "D" Rank technique but the opponent suddenly feels the impact of a "B" Rank technique. When the user gains a thousand five hundred Training Points or higher within the art of Muay Thai, they are strong, they are capable, they are deadly weapons in every way. With that, whenever a user hits an opponent, they hit with the same impact as before, however the opponent feels as if they were hit with three letters higher then the normal technique would show. That means that if a userhits with a "D" Rank technique, the opponent feels as if they were hit with an "A" Rank technique. This technique is capable of rubbing off onto other styles if need be due to similar fundamentals.
Limit: Must have gained 500 Training Points for "B" Rank Automatically. Must have gained 1,000 Training Points for "A" Rank Automatically. Must have gained 1,500 Training Points for "S" Rank Automatically.


Pra Yaikae (Swinging Elbow)
Rank: "D" "C" Variations
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: To Counter Does the same as the tricks in Sok Fan Nah (Strikes the Front Elbow). If the boxer is a left handed fighter reverse the descriptions from right to left.
Description: Picture The Boxer swings up the tip of the right elbow to the opponent's jaws and steps the right foot forwards. This trick is used for attack, defense, or escape. To Protect Wipes the left arm or throws the left arm to the left.
Variations

* Swinging elbow (Horizontal Elbow) - From the basic stance, lower and pull in the hand of the elbow with which you will strike. Raise your shoulder on that side as high as possible to compensate as guard. Your body motions should be the same as for the hook punch except that you must strike with the point of your elbow rather than with your fist. The elbow strike is also done at a closer range than the hook. Again, your hips, shoulders and feet move simultaneously in coordination, otherwise, you will not gain the maximum potential power for this attack. When using the elbow attack, your elbow should be between 45 and 90 degrees angle away from your head. You must hit with the sharp tip of the elbow bone and not the bottom of your forearm. You will want to hit with the bone ridge located toward the inside of your arm. You must lean your body away with more emphasis than for the hook to make impact with your elbow bone while maintaining correct body position. When using the horizontal elbow, it is important to first clear the path and remove his guard because an experienced Thai boxing opponent always keeps his guard up. If your opponent does not drop his guard, you must strike down his guard arm and then strike with your elbow. On the elbow strikes, try to hit your target with just the sharp point of the bone so that it barely yet forcefully makes contact. This is the blow that will cut your opponent's face. It is best to use this technique to strike his forehead, eyebrow, or cheekbone. Alter completing the elbow strike, snap your elbow back next to your ribs and bring your hand to your face to block a counterstrike. When you use the elbow, it is important to follow all the way through with your target. Since the body is already turned after the elbow is thrown, it is possible to bring the elbow back upwards and strike again as the fighter returns to the basic stance. Twist your body back into position and allow the elbow to follow the same path as you return to your stance. Your hips, shoulders, and feet should all move at once. You should try once again to hit with the sharp elbow bone to cut your opponent's face with the bottom of your elbow for a knockout.
Limit: Must know Jod Muay

"Mushi Kachuu no Jutsu!

Warn me of his next strike."

The thought reverberated throughout his mind, the insects swiftly falling into place. The swirling mass of insects had begun a rapid vortex at the moment that Hiromasa would have been drawing his senbon, and as the needles would strike the black mass, they would be blown away. Protected within the whirlwhind of insects, the striking senbon would strike nothing but this swirling mass. His massive strength increase would not at all effect the strength of his senbon.

Protected fully from the flying needles, Iizuka await within his swarm. The winds carried his hair across his face, and it would be only seconds after creation that the insects swarmed with a fury like never before. Their incessant buzzing grew to ear-deafening levels for the Aburame, and this was their signal. The nuke-nin was advancing at this point, and now was the time to make his move. Smirking as the spiraling insects blocked him completely from view, it was time to end this fight.

The weighing effects of Tartarus suddenly vanished, the chakra being put forth into the technique being dispersed. Simultaneously, as the oppressive effects were removed, the Aburame found himself plunging through the earth, but not before his hands had come together into a single form of the zodiac. As he sat beneath the surface, now, he merely waited as the thunderous steps of the ninja bashed overhead. His movements would be unseen due to the insects. Also, their buzzing would have drowned out what little he may have been able to make of it through his enhanced senses.

As he was no longer in the center of his own insects, the nuke-nin would find himself barreling through the insects into an empty circle. Nothing rest there, save for himself, and it would be at this point that the insects collapsed. Coating him with their black bodies, the chakra he had gathered would be drained rather swiftly. The size of the swarm would devour and bite into his systems as they leeched from him his energy; soon he would be dead. Meanwhile, the Aburame, perched underground, listened through the earth to the carnage above.
