Naruto: The Battle for the Sacred Scroll [PG-13][ started][Now accepting][Advanced]

[Dark Lightning]

"Not really..." he yawned once more and leaned on a tree "So tell me about you..."

[Shadow Zero]

Hogosha's orb of sand survives the blows and next moment starts to twist and shrink, part of it forming an undulating sand shield, the rest of it mixed wit some of Hogoshas blood, making it all but impossible to escape from. "You poor man...giving yourself over to the darkness.... whatever reason you think you might have, there is no reason good enough for becoming a personage of pure evil." the large part of the sand surrounds Tekashi and traps him, leaving not even a fraction of an inches worth of movement. "sand coffin." Hogosha looks over at Haro and Dark, who had just showed up. "I have the answers i was looking for, now we just need to figure out what to do with him. He says that he means no harm, but the darkness is not something that you can control."

 

--and Tekashi, you literally cannot break free from this sand jutsu. if you don't believe me, just look up the part of Naruto where they talk about the 3rd Kazekage while fighting Sasori.

[Necro Pheonix]

"hm...wow...now who wanted to kill him before? that's right, ME! Now get out of the way Hogosha! I will kill him myself!"

[Shadow Zero]

"Wait." Hogosha moves part of the sand surrounding him to move in front of Haro. "Do you really think that it's wise to try and do that? It may well be that with the power he gained from the scroll that you're no match for him anymore." Hogosha wasn't going to try and argue the point of Tekashi having crossed a line, but the fact remained that if he was attacked, it could very well start s massacre. Hogosha knew this, and wished to avoid it as the others would only end up dying if thy faced Tekashi as he was now.

[Necro Pheonix]

"I don't care. I'll never know if i don't try. Besides, if he does kill me, i can at least weaken him enough for my friends, NOT YOU, to kill him. I swore to the Hokage that i would complete my mission, and i will."

[Shadow Zero]

"Huh." Hogosha removes the sand that he was using to hold back Haro and backstepped a few times. "Fine then. On your own head be it. If that's really how you feel though, then you won't need me to interfere at all, will you?" Hogosha removes the Iron sand from around Tekashi and walks away as all of the sand he used pours into the gourd on his back. Let's see just how far you can get without having any help. I bet it won't be all that far though."

[~Final_Ryeden~]

-Ryeden sneaks up behind hogosha and hits him on the back of his head and he faints- "i'm sorry but i have to do this."

[Shadow Zero]

As he faints, the Hogosha that Ryeden had hit dissolves into a sand clone as Ryeden is hit underneath the base of his skull...hard. "What did i tell you about doing stuff like that you moron?!" Hogosha says as the momentarily stunned Ryeden is enveloped in the Iron sand coffin. "Give me one reason that i shouldn't have you sent to the hospital again!" Hogosha surrounds the back and sides of himself as well as creating several out of sight shadow clones so that he won't be taken by surprise again.

 

--you cannot escape from the iron sand coffin. it is one of the most powerful sand jutsu in exsitence. for reference, look up the third kazekages jutsu.

[Necro Pheonix]

Haro grabbed Hogosha by the neck and liffted him in the air. "Let him go! I will kill you right now!"

[Dark Lightning]

"Wait so, you guys both wanna kill Tekashi?" he chuckles "It's impossible, you see, because Tekashi" he pauses "Is even stronger than me" he ends with a small smile "

[Shadow Zero]

Hogosha simply glares a Haro from where he is lifted off of the ground, then delivers a sharp kick to his chin that forces him to let go and sends him flying. "Know your place. Ryeden was the one that tried attacking me. You think i am going to give him a chance to do that again? Now Ryeden, explain yourself. Why did you try to attack me?!" Hogosha glares at Ryeden, waiting for him to answer.

[~Final_Ryeden~]

-as ryeden is envelpoed in the ironsand coffin, he uses a....- "Summoning illusion jutsu!" -ryeden uses a genjutsu as hogosha talks and he is hit by my two animals, then ryeden breaks from the iron sand coffin because not enough chakra was put into it so it was weak-

[Shadow Zero]

Hogosha is blasted backwards a bit but doesn't go to far due to the enclosed sand wall behind him. Hogosha manipulates the sand so that it encircles around the animals torso and rips them away, tossing them back at Ryeden as Hogosha summons numerous shadow clones. "Here's a jutsu from the book of the hokage!" Hogosha yells as he punches Ryeden in the face and sends him flying backwards into one of the clones that kicks him into the air where the other clones have jumped to, knocking Ruedenn from one spot to another as Hogosa himself jumps into the air to deliver the final punishing blow. "UZUMAKI BARRAGE!!!" Hogosa delivers a spinning downward kick that slams Ryeden back into the ground as the sand gathers to form four pillars and a raised platform for Hogosha to land on not a foot below from where he was more then 20 feet in the air, the sand at the base of the pillars churning yet more sand to trap ryeden in another sand coffin that envelops his entire body before he can escape. "Now STAY DOWN!"

[Necro Pheonix]

" Ryeden!" Haro slammed his hand on the ground. "Fire Style: Dragon Fire Bullet!" Two dragon bullets came out of the ground, hitting Tekashi and Hogosha.

[Shadow Zero]

It had seemed that the Dragon bullet had hit Hogosha, but at the last moment he put his hand out and the Dragon Bullet exploded away from him. Having instantly understood how to use the Jutsu due to the Rinnegan, Hogosha forms the hand signs and yelled "Fire Style: Dragon Bullet Jutsu!" sending not 2, but 10 dragon bullets raining down upon Haro. "You moron! don't you know that you can't defeat me?! Furthermore, you are being very ignorant of your mission which you swore to the Hokage you would finish! Do you really expect to be able to finish it by foolishly fighting a loosing battle against me?!"

 

--Hogosha has huge reserves of chakra due to his training. in addition to the abilities that is afforded to him by the rinnegan, he is also able to instantly interpret, understand, and perform any jutsu, even if it is a jutsu that would normally be able to be performed with a specific kekkei genkai.

[Dark Lightning]

Dark watches the fight from a distance "You know, Haro, I wouldn't mind helping you against Ho-What's his face over there..." he yawns "All you have to do is ask..."

[Necro Pheonix]

As Haro lay on the ground from being hit by the bullets, he was bloodied and very furious. "I used to think i was merely a warrior, a weapon of the Leaf Village. I lived purely to serve. Then, a friend told me i was more than that. That i was a person, not a weapon. That i was worth more than that. And, for him, I will not die. I will complete my mission. I will kill you and Tekashi. For my friend. For one of the very few who believed in me. THere are only 3 and one of them is dead. I will protect all that is left. I WILL END THIS BATTLE!" Haro roared as he poured out his chakra. The chakra was so immense if shook the earth.

[Shadow Zero]

Hogosha was only slightly startled. with Haro as he was at that moment, it looked as though he was almost as strong as Hogosha now. Hogosha, knowing that a fight to the death was about to ensue and wishing to avoid it, did the only thing that he could. As he leaped from the platform, the Platform and the pillars swirled in a circular motion as they collapsed to the ground, freeing Ryeden from the sand coffin. Before Haro could attack, Hogosha lands on the ground on his right side with his arm draped across the front of is shoulders. "I also know the pain of losing that which is dear to you, that is why i trained in exile for a time. I did not want to fight, but can you honestly say that you would not defend yourself if you were attacked? besides, Ryeden is still alive and well, i just didn't want him trying to attack me again, that's the only reason why i used the sand coffin on him. As you can see, he is still quite well, see?" Hogosha turns and points towards Ryeden as he walks towards them, a few scrapes and bruises on him, but largely unharmed.

 

--i hope you don't mind me doing that roxas, i'm just trying to end the pointless fighting and all. XD

oh, and Tekashi was rebound by the sand iron coffin when Tekashi and Ryeden were attacking Hogosha, sorry for not mentioning that earlier. XD

[~Final_Ryeden~]

"Haro-sama are you ok?" -Ryeden looks back at everyone and his eyes are all red, no pupils, then he unleashes......-

[Necro Pheonix]

"ill...ill be fine. Hogosha leave now, or i WILL kill you." With amazing speed, Haro ran to Tekashi. "Hello, friend..." Haro punched im the the gut with tremendous force.

[Shadow Zero]

KU! red eyes?! so it looks as though he has a great power as well. i should tread more carefully around these 2. "Woah! hold on there! There's no need to get violent Ryeden, i'm not even attacking anyone, and i never wanted to fight you guys in the first place!"

[Dark Lightning]

Dark appeared sitting on Haro's arm while it was in Tekashi's gut

"Tsk, Tsk, See now, When you mess with my friends...that, my friend, puts you in danger..."

Dark charged his finger tip with lightning and then placed his finger on Haro's arm, shocking him. Dark then jumped off his arm

[Necro Pheonix]

Haro seemed to not even notice the pain. He only glared at Dark. "Leave...now..." Haro grabbed a paper bomb and lit it. He grabbed onto Dark so he could not escape.

[Dark Lightning]

OOC: Dark alreadly jumped off

 

IC: "Mad, are you now?" Dark says

[Shadow Zero]

i think i'll leave for now, but i shall leave the shadow clones and sand clones behind so as to keep an eye on things. Hogosha disappears as he teleports over to Leo's grave and sits cross legged in front of it, staring at the tombstone as he says, "I wonder if you realize just how much trouble your actions caused Leo. that forbidden jutsu of yours that required you sacrifice your very soul, it has made Haro completely unreasonable, and Ryeden has become quite irrational as well." Hogosha smile ruefully as he remembers how he and the members of his squad would often fight over stupid things...until they were killed that is. Then, looking around a bit, Hogosha notices the skeletal corpses of Itachi and Kisame. KUH...! It can't be! Did the actually.......! Suddenly realizing that there might yet be a chance that Leo was still alive, Hogosha uses the sand in his gourd to churn the ground above Leo into sand and move it out of the way, revealing Leo's body. Hogosha lifts it up out of the grave and notices that there is a little bit of color in his face, and a faint heartbeat. Is he actually alive again???
