Naruto: Extinction ( Rising Dawn Arc / Accepting)

[namelessk]

Kizashi leaped from the tree he had just been in a few seconds ago, and quickly twirled himself in the air. He then landed lightly on his feet and quickly stood up. He began following after Aisu and Kris once more, not wanting to get too far left behind. He picked up his pace to catch up to them, and when he did, he began walking. When Aisu asked him if he could see anything up ahead, the veins on the sides of his eyes bulged. His vision increased, and he could see many formed in front of him. His vision then zoomed into the village more. He could see the smoke all around and the burnt houses. Then, his vision panned in on three figures with high chakra levels. One of them had chakra levels that were off the charts, that which can only belong to shinobi who had a Bijuu sealed within him, a Jinchuuriki. Kizashi had not seen them before, but had heard tales of them. He had heard of their massive chakra levels.

 

"There are three figures in the center of the town. One seems to have the chakra levels of a Jinchuuriki. The other two....wait!" Kizashi said, his eyes widening in shock. "I can recognize his chakra signature. I remember it from last time. Mikami is there. He looks badly injured. He's fighting someone who also has incredible chakra levels." Kizashi said to Aisu. "Yeah, I'm on it." Kizashi added to Kris's statement. His vision then panned outside of the village and moved around him once more. He looked around him, but could see nothing.

[Champster]

"What the hell is going on..." Aisu thought, his eyes now opened and was slightly taken aback when he heard Kizashi spoke of a person with the same chakra levels as a Jinchuuriki. Last time he heard about them they all mysteriously vanished after the events with Uzumaki Naruto and the previous Akatsuki organization that had occurred years ago before Aisu was even born. He suddenly had doubts about coming here, but as quickly as they came, he shook the thought out of his head, shrugged and pressed onward. He couldn't just abandon his friend, and knew reasoning Kris wouldn't work on him this time. Something told him that he had to go and see whats happening in the village. "Just don't overdo it, guys. We were assigned on a mission to find Renzo Tatsuki..." Aisu sighed. "...There is no need to enter an unnecessary battle unless we need to defend ourselves".

 

As they drew closer, the black smoke and fiery clouds made it as though it was night when the group eventually arrived at the crumbling gates of Konohagakure. Dozens of burning corpses lying on the ground made Aisu disgusted with the person responsible for all of this. "What the hell..." He whispered, though Kris could hear him clearly. Small children were also amongst the deceased. "They tried to escape, but had no chance at all...". Aisu clenched his fist, he needed to know who did all this and why. As they continued the group then saw three figures, as Kizashi mentioned earlier, having a conversation with one another.

 

"Stop right there..." The old-looking man suddenly said, snapping his fingers together. The invisibility technique Kris created earlier had been somehow neutralized and the three were now visible and stopped walking any further. The defensive mechanism deep underground of Konohagakure had been turned on the moment Renzo snapped his fingers, which restricts any individual from using jutsu's within the inner walls of the village. "So that's how he was able to use techniques...he was able to turn it off. But how? does he have it under his control? Telekinesis perhaps?" Mikami growled at the thought, his teeth clench and his eyes now fixed on the new group.

 

"Aisu Arashi, Kristan Dervoncorley...and what a surprise, Kizashi Hyuuga" Renzo turned his head slightly to his left and gazed upon the group as he spoke, a smile plastering across his lips. It took moments for Aisu to recognize this old man and suddenly became shocked when he did, his eyes widening in disbelief. "I-Impossible...Renzo?!" His voice barely heard by the others but Kris and Kizashi could hear him clearly. "The Akatsuki welcomes you, Shinobi Remnants" Renzo spoke once more. His way of speaking has always been kind and polite, even if they were enemies of his. Hideki, meanwhile, glares at the three one by one before assuming his regular, calm yet serious demeanor. Both of his hands were resting in the jet black Akatsuki cloak as he carefully scans the group and then glances at the injured Commander back and forth.

[Magnet Soldier]

"Heh, what a co-incidence, Renzo. We were just looking for you. And this is an immpressive mechanism. Though no doubt created by the samurai's not you." Kris said, drawing one of his Muramasas. "Like this blade? It's a Samurai's. Meaning it's unaffected by this barrier. So, ready?" Kris asked, though it was rhetorical. As soo as he had finished the sentence had finished, a shockwave was sent towards Renzo. When Renzo went to counter it, it jerked and went towards Hideki, catching everyone off guard and sending Hideki flying backwards.

[namelessk]

As the group headed towards the village, Kizashi looked around him and saw all of the black smoke which billowed upwards from the destroyed homes and buildings. Who could have done all of this? This was his old home, even though he had been kicked out by his clan and forced to run away by the Samurai. Kizashi gritted his teeth to prevent himself from saying anything out of anger or show that he was upset. When they reached the village, he looked around at all of the corpses around them. He had the same feelings which Aisu had when he saw the dead bodies. What monster did this?

 

Then, all of a sudden, he was stopped in his tracks and Kris's invisibility jutsu was deactivated. He stared before him, at the man who had helped to kick him from the village after he was banned from the Hyuuga clan. Slight hatred showed on his face, but he calmed himself and listened to the man as he spoke. He saw Kris begin his assault, and used this opportunity to look around the village. They wouldn't stand a chance with that machine on. He needed to give them a chance by finding it and then creating a distraction so that one of them could go and destroy it. His Byakugan zoomed in on areas around the village, scanning them and searching. Finally, he saw something that looked interesting. His Byakugan zoomed in on a large building that had yet to be destroyed. Housed inside of it was some sort of machine. That might be it! "Aisu. I think I found the machine that cancels chakra. It's about 40 feet from here inside of a large..." Kizashi began whispering to Aisu but then was cut off when he could no longer see far away. What happened? My Byakugan shut off on it's own. Did that machine cancel it since it uses chakra as well? A shocked expression was visible on his face as he tried to reactivate his Byakugan but couldn't.

[Champster]

Hideki balances himself while in midair and begins to glide backwards the moment he touches the ground and eventually coming into a stop. His akatsuki cloak flutters in the wind the duration of Kris' gust shock wave, which slowly begins to dies down. Aisu, meanwhile, hears Kizashi whispering to his ear but stops before he finishes for some unknown reason. "Whats wrong?" He asked. Hideki's eyes narrowed and tries attacking Kris with a lava technique, but was ordered not to by Renzo. "Gentleman, gentleman! There is no need for all this..." Renzo chuckled lightly and with a simple snap of his fingers, the machinery canceling jutsu's immediately deactivates and shuts itself down. "You should of just asked politely, and I would of simply turned it off. The only reason why I activated it in the first place was so that I could see your faces" He added, his smile never vanishing from his face. He didn't blame them for trying to attack him for what he did five years ago, and simply smiles even more at the thought. "The Remnants and Akatsuki have a common enemy, and we, without a doubt, wish nothing more then the complete annihilation of the Order-..." Renzo's words were suddenly cut short when Mikami roars loudly, "You talk too much!" and quickly dashes forward with his sword in his right hand, attempting to kill Renzo with one blow from behind.

 

At blind-motion speed, a seal opens from behind Renzo's neck and unleashes a devastating force that catapults Commander Mikami backwards and crashes into a crumbling building. Renzo slowly turns over to look at the hole Mikami had created with his body upon impact and couldn't help but chuckle. "Thanks to my past experiences from five years ago, I no longer need to watch cautiously from anyone attacking me from behind. As you can see, I've hidden a seal that releases an incredible force once an unfortunate soul comes from within a specific range from behind when they attempt to surprise me" He explained as he turns back to face the three of them once more. Meanwhile, Hideki walks towards his master and stands next to him -- his attention focused entirely on the group as the old man started talking once more. "I met your father once, Kizashi Hyuuga..." Said Renzo, simply. "Would you care to ask a question to the person responsible for the deaths of your entire clan five years ago? Now's your chance to ask Commander Mikami, who led the attack on the village and slaughtered your clan".

 

Mikami, coughing, slowly comes out from the hole he made and stares angrily at the man responsible for his humiliated actions just then. His ribs were fractured, and his left arm was gone from earlier before but that meant nothing to him. "Damn you..." He growls, his head filling with rage as he forms a single hand sign with his right hand alone. "Release!" He uttered one word...

[Magnet Soldier]

((I originally meant invisible as if the chakra was unseeable, but both will also work.))

 

Kris smiled, sheathing the sword. "How did you detect me anyway? My technique hides our chakra untill a high level technique is used by one of us. Actually, there's no need to answer that. There's more important things going on." Kris stated, walking forwards. He approached Hideki, and looked him straight in the eye. Hideki was a little unnerved at first, then Kris' eye's flashed. Hideki jumped backwards, shocked, and Kris smirked. "You're not a worthy Jinchurikki. You got scared at a little flash?" He chuckled, turning to face Renzo. "You're impressive. If I hadn't sided with the Shinobi remnants and originally the hidden leaf village, I would join you right now." Kris said, laughing. "Luckily for the Remnant's my village has already pledged it's allegiance."

 

"I wouldn't do that." A clone of Kris said, as Mikami started the hand seal. "Or else I might just kill you. Remember me?" The clone said, smirking from under it's cloak as it grabbed Mikami and threw him at Renzo from the side, with a force that would break bones.

[namelessk]

[spoiler=OOC] Random Dude wanted me to help him get reintroduced into the RP. I couldn't think of any other way to do that besides saying Kizashi saw someone coming. That will be Random Dude's character whenever he posts.

 

 

Kizashi was slightly surprised when Renzo deactivated the machine. It meant that they wouldn't have to destroy it themselves. This made it alot better. Plus, he could now use his Byakugan once again. He quickly activated it, this signaled by the veins popping out on the sides of his head just behind his eyes. His vision increased and zoomed in once more on the machine. It showed no signs of activity. They would probably still have to destroy it just incase Renzo did turn it on again. His attention was then turned to the battle once more as Renzo told him that it was Mikami who had actually slaughtered his whole clan. "What?" Kizashi said, anger flaring up in his voice. He turned towards Mikami and stared at him, his hand going to the staff-pole which he had sheathed behind his back. "You destroyed my whole clan? Why? I was looking for them all this time to be accepted back in. Now, I'll never be accepted." Kizashi said as he stared at Mikami, anger now showing itself on his face. "I should kill you!" he said. He wanted to destroy this man so badly, but he had to hold himself for now. If he attacked, he could get attacked by Renzo as well. He didn't trust him at all. "Tell me! Why did you do it?" Kizashi commanded. Meanwhile, while he stood there, he saw out of his Byakugan's 360 range, someone approaching the village. He didn't pay much attention to this because he wanted answers from Mikami at the moment.

[Guest Random Dude]

Kotaro ran up the wall that surrounded the village. There were a pair of armored samurai on top of the wall who immediately drew their bows and pointed them at him. They fired at him and he put his armored arm up to block the oncoming arrows. He swung his right arm in a wide arc and tore one of their helmets off along with giving him four deep gashes across his face. He jumped up and landed on the remaining samurai and continued his run towards the center of the village. He had reached it and saw his old comrades from the leaf at a standoff with Renzo. "You guys could have told me about the plan here you know." Kotaro said slightly annoyed about having been left in the dark about the attack on Renzo.

[Champster]

As Mikami was thrown towards him, Renzo immediately disappears from where he stood in an instant, reappearing just a few feet away from Hideki. Commander Mikami's body, meanwhile, crashes into a small burnt down house and explodes into white smoke upon impact. "A clone?" Aisu thought, surveying the battle from a distance along with Kizashi beside him. A whip-like entity suddenly then lashes at Kris' clone from behind, exploding upon impact. "The nerve!" Commander Mikami slowly comes out from the same hole he had created earlier. His attention was focused entirely on Kizashi now when he spoke of why he killed his entire clan in the first place. This made Mikami grin devilishly.

"Why you ask?" Laughed Mikami. "I'll tell you". Commander Mikami begins regurgitating a sword and grabs hold of the handle with his right hand and pulls it out of his mouth slowly. The sword then releases a strange chakra that heals him and his injuries at an incredible rate. "Years ago, the Uchiha clan were slaughtered because of what they were planning to do to Konoha. One of those two responsible for the massacre of the Uchiha clan's reason was for revenge" He explained, his fractured bones began reassembling themselves. He groaned slightly, his ribs were no longer broken. The sword he held was capable of such a feat, and another dangerous, offense one, too. "But that person had another reason, as well. Uchiha Madara was the only individual who knew about the Order and its goal, and had the opportunity to kill his entire clan and take their eyes" He added. "If that were to repeat with the Hyuuga clan, we would of lost our chance of using the Artifact. You see, the three primary Dojutsu; Sharingan, Byakugan and Rinnegan. These three were needed to activate the Rikkudo's Artifact in order to unleash its full powers. A power to purge every chakra-able person on this planet".

 

"Realizing this, Uchiha Madara killed and took the eyes of his entire clan that day years ago. With the Sharingan now gone, and the Rinnegan no longer exists in this modern day world, the Byakugan is the last remaining Dojutsu capable of releasing the Rikkudo's Aritfact power" He explained. A monstrous-looking grin then plastered across Mikami's lips as he continued, "I killed your clan and gouged out their eyes one by one and stored them safely so that we could use the last remaining Rikkudo Artifact".

 

Meanwhile, Aisu notices a commotion over to his right and sees Kotaro running towards them. "Kotaro..." He whispered, surprised to see him alive after all these years.

 

"Do you not understand?" Renzo said. "The Samurai Order was given a task from the Rikkudo Sage himself, that if the Shinobi could not find peace in Ninshu, and that war never ceased, they were to purge everyone capable of using chakra. Uchiha Madara should be praised for his actions. If it were not for him, we, the entire shinobi, would of disappeared along with the rest and no longer cease to exist". Renzo had been waiting for this moment. Perhaps now he could get what he wanted. "I spared Commander Mikami's life so that you could avenge your clan. All I ask in return is where is Izumi Hana, Kizashi" Asked Renzo with infinite patience.

[namelessk]

Kizashi listened to all that Commander Mikami was saying, and all it did was make his blood boil. It enraged him to hear Mikami talk of his clan and their eyes as if they were nothing. Just simple tools that he could use for when he needed them. Kizashi stood there for some time, motionless, his eyes blank and staring forward. The expression on his face was one of horror as he sat there with thoughts of his family and his clan running through his head. Then, all of a sudden, he snapped. His face contorted, taking on an angry scowl as he stared at Mikami. Chakra began surging from his body, and he slumped over slightly. "I..will...KILL YOU!" Kizashi shouted, the anger definitely present in his voice now. He was no longer going to hold back his anger. His clan was gone.

 

Kizashi quickly unsheathed his staff pole and was gone in a blur. In a matter of seconds, he was in the air above, his staff pole extended to it's full 5 feet. Wind chakra surged through the staff, increasing it's slicing ability. He slammed the staff down on Mikami's body, mainly aiming it down onto his shoulders. Anger could be seen in the contorted expression which he wore on his face. He pulled his left hand from off of the staff, gathering chakra into it. He was ready to attack Mikami again if he countered his downwards strike. Kizashi put all of his force into the strike, wanting to wound Mikami badly.

[Champster]

Commander Mikami had already anticipated kizashi's reactions and readied himself to counter his attack. His attention on the Hyuuga never ceased as the boy vanished from where he stood and reappearing just above him. "Hmph..." He uttered, his giant monstrous grin never leaving his face. A strange chakra whip-like entity, stretching over 4 feet long, quickly then slithers out of Mikami's katana and prepares to lash at the Hyuuga onto his left side when he was within range. Suddenly, the Commander's katana was instantly slashed in half and no longer its whip-like entity present. His grin disappeared as his eyes widened in shock. "Renzo, you bastar-..." Mikami barked angrily, but before he could finish Kizashi's staff had hit its mark. A limb fell to the ground with a thud as Commander Mikami quickly backed away and only realized now that his entire right arm was sliced off. This came as a shock to Mikami as he turned his head to his right and saw his injury, from near his right Clavicle bone down to his upper true ribs were partly showing. He screamed in agony for a moment and then glared at the two responsible for his injuries. Blood was gushing out everywhere and he simply stood there breathing down heavily, a clear testament of his immortality.

 

"Renzo-Sama, you should not be using that technique so lightly" Hideki spoke with concern in his voice. The ground below their feet suddenly became cold and when Renzo and Hideki soon noticed this, they leapt into the air as the ground below soon crystallized in ice. While in midair, Renzo turned his head and glances at the corner of his eyes and sees Aisu had jabbed his sword into the ground and was channeling his Ice element into his blade, instantly freezing everything from a 10 meter radius around where both Renzo and Hideki stood earlier. As they landed softly from a distance away, Aisu slowly pulls out his sword and stares at them with a killing intent. "Tell me..." He spoke, gripping on his blade with two hands now. "Who killed these people...".

"Does it matter?" Replied Renzo, his smile never vanishing. "Answer me!" Aisu growled and prepared for another assault as he stood in his fighting stance. "I stated this earlier, did I not? Akatsuki has one and simple goal; Mainly to restore the Shinobi world as it once was several years ago. And of course the complete liquidation of the Samurai Order" Renzo answered with enthusiasm. "These people have been punished because they allied themselves with the Order. They made their selfish decision to affliate themselves with the enemy, and simply watched as our brothers were slain mercilessly" He added.

 

Aisu then kicks off the ground, blasting towards Renzo with his sword ready to cut him in half. A sudden force rammed Aisu on his left side and knocked him to the ground, shoulder first. His blade clattered on the floor as it was thrown away from him by Hideki. He was covered in cloak of fiery-red chakra and had one tail behind him. Aisu groaned slightly and glared at Renzo as he began to speak, "We are not the enemy, Aisu. Our methods may differ from the Remnants, but we seek the same thing. To destroy the Order". Aisu spat out blood and slowly stood up, his right hand now covering his left ribs as he wobbles closer and closer towards his sword. "All I'm asking is where is Izumi Hana..." Asked Renzo. His eyes began narrowing as he turned to the rest for a moment and paid his attention back at Aisu, whom eventually grabbed his blade and faced the two of them. "Go to hell..." Aisu answered and slammed his sword into the ground yet again, channeling his ice element into his sword once more.

 

Meanwhile, while this was happening Commander Mikami was clearly at a disadvantage. He knew when to continue his fights and when to flee, and with no arms at all he had no choice but to fall back. "I'll be sure to remember you, Hyuuga" He said, humiliated and showed anger. He stares at Kizashi for a brief second with a killing intent and quickly turns and leaps from the top of a nearby building. He dashes away whilst fiddling his tongue something inside his mouth, a seal of some sort, just in case he was being followed.

[namelessk]

As Kizashi came down, his eyes noticed the movement of chakra coming from Mikami's blade. He was fearful of it, for he could do nothing if it was an attack preparing to hit him. But then, all of a sudden, the chakra was gone, and Kizashi's attack was connecting, eventually slicing off Mikami's arm. As Kizashi landed, he stared at Mikami and then jumped back slightly. He still had the look of fury and anger on his face, but now he was a little shocked that he was able to even harm Mikami so quickly. "What are you doing Mikami? Why did you let me connect my attack on you?" Kizashi thought. He stepped back a little more and it was then that he noticed that Aisu was having trouble out of the corner of his eye. He turned his attention to his ally, but when he did, Mikami had spoken once again. When Kizashi turned back around, Mikami was already leaping away from him. "And I'll be sure to remember you Mikami." Kizashi thought. He was going to avenge his clan, one way or the other. He was going to defeat Mikami to do this.

 

Kizashi then turned his attention back to Renzo, Hideki, and Aisu. He was gone in a blur and appeared next to Aisu's side. "Are you okay? Need any help with this guy?" Kizashi asked. He twirled his staff and then shifted into a defensive position. He held his staff with both hands, pointing it forward a little while his left leg was a little forwards and his right leg was behind. His eyes zoomed in as he glanced towards Hideki. He saw the massive chakra within his body. "Just how did he obtain a bijuu?" Kizashi muttered to himself. He was a little shaken by the bijuu within Hideki, for he knew that he did not have enough power to defeat Hideki on his own to get to Renzo. He wasn't even sure that the four of them together would be able to take down Hideki. If they were going to, they had to work together. But it would be even harder since Renzo was also there and he would not simply let his Akatsuki be destroyed by the four of them.

[Champster]

"I'm fine..." He replied, though he spat out more blood before he was able to talk any further. He almost lost his focus on channeling chakra into his blade, which made the atmosphere slightly chilling, but managed to shrug it off and continue onward. "...And yes, I'll be needing yours and everyone elses help with this...Jinchuuriki" He finally answered him. His chakra was already drained in half earlier when he used his attack earlier. But he didn't care. These people, he'd thought, must be avenged. Meanwhile, Renzo looks over to his shoulder and sees Mikami retreating. He was disappointed in Kizashi for not killing the fool. But would he of even told him of Izumi's whereabouts? His smile disappears and frowns slightly. "Such disappointment..." He whispers to himself and releases a heavy sigh. Much to Renzo's annoyance, the four of them would not tell him anything even if he forced them to.

 

"I grow weary of this. Hideki...!" Growled the old man. He turned to the remaining part of Konoha that was not yet burnt and continued, "Burn this place to the ground!". Without hesitation, Hideki turns and quickly grew yet another tail and extends his left arm towards the villagers still fleeing while others attempted to put the fire out. One of the two tails behind Hideki dug deep into the ground and remained there, and with a simple movement of his fingers he began creating small fissures all around of whats left of Konohagakure. Smoke eroded and Lava quickly rose from said fissures, engulfing people and buildings in flames. The six of them could hear screams of horror and agony as they could do nothing but watch. However, Aisu thought otherwise...

 

"Ice Release: Crystallizing Frozen Field!".

 

The air drops and becomes bone-chilling as a tremendous amount of ice deriving from the ground underneath releases and instantly freezes fires and lava itself. The fires ceased around them and no longer buildings were burning. Those burning were also instantly frozen, spared from their tormenting, scorching pain. This technique was meant for Renzo and Hideki, but he had no choice but to save the lives of the villagers of Konoha. The technique he used just then was his most powerful one, but it also had its side effects. His chakra was nearly completely drained and could not stand on his own two feet. He felt exhausted and immediately fell towards the ground face first. Before he could even hit the ground, however, Aisu vanished the moment Renzo's figure blurred, his sword still remaining stuck onto the ground beside Kizashi.

 

"Impressive!" Renzo spoke, his lips bearing a smile once again. Aisu was now lying beside Renzo's feet, unconscious. "Even with two tails, he succeeded in stopping Hideki's fiery lava" He added. Meanwhile, the tail that was dug deep into the ground retracted and now remained behind Hideki, whom now focused his attention at Kizashi, Kris and Kotaro. Renzo then kneels on one knee and lays his right hand on Aisu's head for a brief second, his eyes closed as he did this. "Interesting..." He grinned as he slowly opened his eyes and stood back up. "Mission complete. Izumi Hana has been located".

[Guest Random Dude]

[spoiler=OOC]I added new jutsu on my app

 

"Hideki truly is a monster, he might even dethrone me as the Fiend of Konoha. I can't let that happen." Kotaro began to focus his chakra, making it nearly visible. Kotaro gave off large amounts of pressure from the chakra being released "First gate: Gate of Opening." His first Chakra gate opened, at the same time he realized he would not be able to finish without someone to stall Hideki and Renzo, but he figured that Kizashi and Kris would catch on to what he was doing and keep them distracted long enough. I need at least the third gate open to be able to finish these two. He thought to himself. He continued to focus his chakra "Second Gate: Gate of Healing." Another gate opened. This last one is going to take time. "Third Gate: Gate of Life." His chakra became visible as well as a small crater beginning to form under his feet. I'm only going to be able to keep this up for a few minutes, I hope that my regeneration helps me keep it up longer.

[namelessk]

Kizashi's eyes widened as he heard the order for the rest of Konoha to be burned to the ground. "No!" he shouted out. But his yell was not heard, for Hideki burned down the village anyway. He was relieved, however, when ice formed on the burnt buildings to prevent them from burning anymore. He looked to his side as Aisu, knowing that it had been he who had created the ice, but when he looked, he saw Aisu falling. He was about to reach out and catch him, but Aisu suddenly disappeared. Kizashi was surprised at this. He wasn't sure where Aisu had gone. Then, he heard Renzo's voice and turned to face him and saw Aisu lying unconscious at his feet. Kizashi twirled his staff and was about to attack when he saw out of the corner of his Byakugan's field of vision a massive surge of chakra building up. He turned around to see Kotaro gathering chakra. "What is he doing?" Kizashi wondered at first before looking into Kotaro's chakra network with his Byakugan. He saw the first gate released, and released that kotaro was attempting that. He then saw the second gate within Kotaro's body release, and realized that he may have been attempting to release more gates in order to defeat Hideki and Renzo.

 

Kizashi had to make a distraction so that Kotaro could continue to build up his chakra to enter his third gate. Kizashi quickly turned back towards Hideki and rushed towards him. He twirled his staff in his hand as he came and then flipped into the air. As he came down, he sent wind chakra through the staff and slammed it into the ground. The wind chakra channeled through the staff and entered the ground, only to become a huge slicing wave of wind which was now moving towards Hideki. Kizashi then pulled his staff from the ground and charged towards Hideki's right. He twirled his staff once more, gathering wind on the tip. He then slammed it into the ground in front of him as he was running, blasting himself up into the air. He was now over Hideki, looking down on him. "Come on. Follow me. Take the bait." Kizashi muttered to himself while in the air. Then, when he landed feet behind Hideki, he quickly took off, hoping that he would follow him. He was going to lead Hideki to the generator to have him destroy it himself. There was no telling if Renzo would betray them and turn it back on again, and so Kizashi was only making sure.

[Champster]

Curious, Hideki watches Kotaro caustiously as he began building up chakra for something while standing next to Renzo. A third tail slowly started to grow next to the other two behind Hideki and sees Kizashi running towards him and jump flips upwards into the air and as gravity plays itself, he comes down and slams his staff-pole into the ground, which in turn releases this wave-like wind attack aiming towards him. Hideki immediately bends down and now stands with four limbs. There were now three tails. After growing the third, he grew twice his original size and took the form of a miniature Four-Tails. In this form, the Four-Tails' bones begin to form out of the intense chakra around his body, attached to the body with several thick chakra ligaments. Its chakra was fiery red and those close enough could feel the intensifying, scorching heat.

 

The tails all extended upwards quickly and shifted back down and struck the ground with all three, covering Hideki as if they were shields. The wave-like slicing attack bounced off to the sides as soon as it hits Hideki's tails and deflected Kizashi's attack with relative ease. He watched Kizashi through the opening of his tails as he used his staff once more to blast himself back into the air and over him, landing with his two feet behind him with a slight thud and began running off towards nowhere in particular. He turned his head slightly as the tails retracted back and saw at the corner of his gorilla-like eyes Kizashi dashing towards a building that was still intact. "Entertain our guests until I return, Hideki" The old man commanded before vanishing instantly from where he stood. "Understood, Renzo-Sama" Hideki replied, turning back to face the other two. The miniature Four-Tails opens its jaws and fires a multitude of small lava-like balls flying wildly in every direction towards Kotaro. After unleashing his attack on Kotaro, his mouth closes and spuns around swiftly and chases after Kizashi, stampeding towards him with incredible speeds.

 

He suddenly came into a halt and opens his jaw once again, slowly gathering vast amounts of chakra near his mouth in the form of a fiery sphere. Moments later, he then launches it towards the fleeing Hyuuga as a giant wave of burning-lava torrent, exploding upon impact everything it touches and burning those unlucky enough in hot lava. This attack was enough to incinerate and devastate of whats left of Konohagakure, creating a huge gorge that nearly extends over a mile long. The chakra defensive machinery used by the Samurai Order was destroyed during Hideki's attack. He waited patiently, surveying the area to see if the Hyuuga made it out alive. Hideki simply guessed that he did, since he had to slowly build huge amounts of chakra before releasing his attack, long enough for a certain individual to get out of the way of its blast range. Kizashi had succeeded in making Hideki destroy the defensive mechanism that suppresses chakra, but Hideki did not care. He didn't want that machinery to activate once more, otherwise his Demon Monkey Cloak and the Four-Tails' chakra probably would of been suppressed as well. Though this was not yet proven to be true.

[namelessk]

As Kizashi ran, he looked back to see if Hideki was following him. He saw him attacking Kotaro, and he grew a little worried. He hoped that Kris would save Kotaro. He couldn't at the moment, for there was not enough time to reach Kotaro in. He continued running and then felt the ground moving underneath him. He looked behind himself once more and saw Hideki bounding after him. This made him a little worried. He wasn't sure if he would be able to move fast enough to escape. Then, when he looked back again once more, he saw Hideki charging a powerful attack within his mouth. Darn it. I won't be able to escape that. He continued running and began gathering wind chakra within his staff once more. He was going to try the bounding leap once more to send himself into the air, but this time using more chakra to go higher into the air. When he felt as though he had gathered enough chakra, he quickly slammed the staff down into the ground in front of him and kicked off the ground at the same time. The wind on the tip of his staff exploded and rocketed him up into the air. but instead of moving forward, he was going backwards. Once in the air, he flipped himself backwards slightly, but that was when the blast of chakra had created a large explosion. The shockwaves from the explosion blasted Kizashi higher up into the air, and threw him away from the burning buildings. He landed hard on the ground behind Hideki, but rolled to soften his fall. "Crap. At least I got him to destroy that thing." Kizashi muttered. He had broken his ribs slightly when he fell. He tried to get up, but he was barely able to. He hoped that he had made up enough time for Kotaro.

Kotaro barely escaped the blasts fired by Hideki, still he could not completely avoid all of them and received a bad burn on his chest. The wound didn't regenerate and he figured that he couldn't regenerate while his gates were open. I only have one chance to do this. Kotaro moved as fast as he could to wards Hideki and gave him a heavy kick in the chin. "This is it!" He pursued Hideki into the air and unleashed a barrage of extremely fast, but devastating strikes. He punched him downwards creating a visible wave upon contact. Hideki plummeted to the ground, but was caught mid-fall by Kotaro's outstretched arm. He pulled him up as fast as he could and readied himself to deliver the finishing blow. "It's over!" He punched Hideki with all the strength he had remaining. Hideki fell to the ground, creating a small crater at landing. Kotaro fell down outside the crater, barely able to stay conscious after releasing that large amount of chakra in such a short amount of time. "I really hope that was it." He gave a small smirk, then remembered Renzo. He hadn't attacked him since he wasn't the biggest threat at the time. He didn't have the strength to do another Lotus and cursed himself for forgetting him. He remained conscious and tried to release another gate, but was not able to since the three he had previously opened had closed after the Lotus. He slipped from consciousness and lay on the floor, helpless.

"That was some punch he delivered, Hideki..." A deep, monstrous voice echoed inside Hideki's mind. It was dark, and the only visible thing was Hideki's figure floating by himself. But he wasn't alone. "If you haven't covered yourself in my cloak, you surely would of been killed". Hideki, standing in complete abyss, lowered his head and looked down before answering, "I know". He clenches his fists before continuing, "Lets show them our true power, shall we?". Meanwhile, large amounts of smoke were formed around the large crater Hideki made with his body upon impact. Though, he was covered in the Demon Monkey's Cloak when Kotaro kicked and slammed him into the ground. Suddenly, a single large red-furry tail stretches out from the smoke and slams into the ground, creating a rather small shockwave. Followed by a second and a third tail both swinging around the air. Then the fourth and finall tail rises from the smoke and all simultaneously smash into the ground next to the first, creating a larger shockwave that removes the hindering smoke.

 

Standing in the center of the crater was a red-furred giant. The Four-Tailed Monkey.

 

"Lets finish this!" He said aloud, his voice booming over the chaos. It lifts both its fists and then pounds them into the surface, roaring loudly as it did. Its roar shatters all the ice surrounding them and then, huge gusts of wind blows towards and whooshes by the three figures facing the great beast. "Intimidating them, I see..." The Four Tails spoke to Hideki within his mind, and simply broke into laughter. Those closest to the giant could feel a burning sensation. The tails rised back into the air from the ground and simply hovered along about. Its beastly eyes glared at each individual lying on the ground with a killing intent before delivering the finishing blow, but his attention was arrested by a needle-thin shaft of light piercing through his black and red shadowed sky. The Four-Tails' eyes followed it to its source, two figures, a man standing and a woman laying on the roof top of a nearby building. The man in the black attire he recognized immediately as the Akatsuki Leader, his master, Renzo Tatsuki. "Renzo...-Sama" Hideki thought.

 

"What is the meaning of this, Hideki" The old man asked, his brows knitted and glances at the figures laying on the ground. "Entertain them, I said. Clearly, you've misheard me" He added, releasing a deep sigh soon after. "But they're alive at the moment, so no matter". He then turns and smiles as the woman beginning to wake up from her paralysis that was cast on her earlier before. Finally, after forty years of this, He'd thought.

 

"We got it...The Rikkudo Artifact is here!".

[Magnet Soldier]

"God. Now I really wish that I had sided with Renzo. Then I would have to put up with such imbeciles." Kris said, stepping forward. "I mean destroying that machine? Stupid. It was our main weapon against the Jinchuuriki." Kris looked at the giant four tailed monkey. "Well, I know when to fall back." Kris stepped forward out of the hole Mikami had made when Kris had thrown him. He had hidden in it as soon as he saw felt the chakra rising in Hideki. He vanished and appeared behind Renzo, a glowing Kunai aimed at his throat. "Leave Konoha, and call off the beast. If you do, I let you live. I could defeat the beast, but I'd rather not end up unconcious aswell, then we'd all be captured by the Samurai's. And I'm not lying." Kris stared at Renzo. "You can see that. But I dont fancy being locked in a chakra proof cell. So all I'm asking is that you leave, and take that monkey with you. Konoha will survive, which will please us. You leave almost unscathed and with the artifact. It's a win for us and a win for you. So, what do you say." Kris removed his Kunai from Renzo's throat, but still had it ready. The tell-tale glowing of his golden eyes signalled that he had a jutsu ready to kill Renzo, also saying Kris was prepared for an attack. He held out his left hand for Renzo to shake.

 

[spoiler=I'm not godmodding.]I'm not godmodding. I had an agreement with Champster, if he remembers.

 

[Champster]

Renzo slightly turned his head and looked over his shoulder and stares at Kris near the corner of his eyes. The woman laying on the ground next to both Renzo and Kris rubbed her eyes gently and sees the impossible. "A B-Bijuu!?" She thought, her eyes widening in disbelief. She turns left and right, wondering for a second where they were and why. But it didn't take long for her to recognize the ruins they were in was once part of Konohagakure, and gasped in horror. She couldn't possibly overhear what the two standing next to her were talking about due to the fact that she was still in shock. "Impossible..." She whispers softly under her breath. Meanwhile, after hearing Kris' proposal, and pondering for a brief moment, Renzo simply smiles at him and turns towards Kris. "Optimism! Ha ha! I love it! Even at a time like this, you continue to remain confident and know for a certainty that this truce of yours will actually pull through" Laughed Renzo. He lowers his eyes and sets his gaze on the overwhelmed woman briefly before looking back at Kris.

 

"But what a coincidence! This was how I was hoping for things to turn out" He added, ignoring Kris' hand and slightly turns to the woman. "Lets go, Izumi". He extends his right arm and touches her by the shoulder and both instantly disappear. "The Four-Tails' form is not needed, Hideki, nor were your actions against Kizashi and Kotaro" The old man said, reappearing beside the giant. "My apologies, Renzo-Sama" Replied Hideki, his form of the Four-Tailed Monkey vanishes at his will and slowly returns to his normal self. "The sole reason why the Rikkudo's Artifact was not found in Konoha was because it was not hidden here nor any other location, but inside a person" He explained, his hand no longer resting on Izumi's shoulder. "Izumi Hana, you'r-..." Renzo added but before he could even continue he was suddenly interrupted by this giant wall of white-colored chakra surrounding them and underneath them, imprisoning both him and Hideki in a impenetrable barrier. "Renzo...!" Said Izumi, her face hard and resolute as she stood up abruptly. "I will see to it that you die now one way or the other!".

"Interesting" The old man replies, a smile plastering on his face. Meanwhile, Aisu slowly recovers and starts waking up from his unconciousness unexpectedly. He feels this intense pain all over him, but he ignores it when he sees the Ninth Hokage standing before this white barrier substance that was imprisoning Hideki and Renzo. "Izumi..." He mumbles to himself. He turns over to his right and sees both Kizashi and Kotaro laying on the ground close to him. "Kizashi! Kotaro!" He shouts to them. "You guys alright?!" He added. He suddenly realized Kris was no where to be seen and thought things turned out for the worst for him. But thankfully, he saw him standing nonchalantly over the roof top not far from the group. He attempted to stand back up but failed. The pain was too great for him to do anything but watch.

 

"This clear whitened chakra, Kijutsu as you call it, derives from the Sage of Six Paths' Artifact sealed within you, Izumi" Explained Renzo. "Its power is enough to bring balance to the shinobi world as it once was, or wipe us all out completely should the Order lay its hands on it". Izumi had no intention of hearing out what Renzo was saying and simply ignored him. She began forming multiple hand signs and prepared to delivering the finishing blow. This technique of hers, however, needed some time to prepare. Something Renzo was not willing to give her. He wasn't just going to stand there while waiting for Izumi to kill them. With a simple reach of his blade, Renzo pulls it out slowly with his left hand and pushes it forward at shoulder height. Before even the sharp end of the blade even touches the impenetrable shield it begins to deteriorate, shattering her greatest barrier in her arsenal. "It may have been five for you but I've waited forties years for this moment and I will not let it end here!".

 

Elsewhere, a strong group belonging to the Order ran quickly towards the ruins of Konohagakure. The markings engraved on their hilts all read, "Commander".

[Magnet Soldier]

Kris watched the fight with interest. He was shocked to hear that Izumi had an Artifact inside her, Kris had thought she was a hostage, and was also interested to see the barrier shatter so easily. "People have to be so stubborn. He knows that I wouldn't be able to defeat both him and the Bijuu and stay concious. Clever man." Kris was about to draw one of his Muramasa's, when a small movement in the corner of his eye distracted him. It was Aisu regaining conciousness. But as he turned his head towards Aisu, he noticed a small cloud of dust approaching the Village. "We have visitors." Kris mused, jumping down towards Aisu. "You need some help." Kris said, allowing Aisu to lean on Kris' shoulder while lifting him up. "I dont think I have enough power to defeat Renzo, Hideki and the group of Samurai's approaching the Village. Yes, we have more company, and by the level of their chakra's, they're all Captains and Commanders." Kris stated, still staring at the figth between Renzo and Izumi. "Izumi! Calm down. There are Samurai's approaching the Village, and we cant allow you to be captured. You're the Hokage, one of the main leaders of the remnants, without you the ninja's will fall apart!" Kris shouted, walking towards Kizashi and Kotaro. "Kizashi! Wake up Kizashi! Kotaro, you too!" Kris said, kicking Kizashi while looking at Kotaro.

[namelessk]

Kizashi had actually just been really hurt, not knocked unconscious. He had kept his consciousness and was wide awake, watching all the events that occurred. When he saw Kotaro deliver the Hidden Lotus to Hideki, he thought it was over until he saw him enter his full Jinchuuriki form. He thought it was all over for them. He closed his eyes, ready to accept his death when he heard Aisu's voice. He was okay! He opened his eyes and looked in the direction where he had heard the voice. "Yeah, I'm okay. Just a little banged up." he said. He then saw Izumi Hana try to seal Renzo, but that was easily destroyed. After that, he heard Kris say something about Samurai coming their way. Samurai Captains and Commanders to be exact. He moved his hand and knocked aside Kris's foot as he attempted to kick him to wake him up. "I'm already awake." Kizashi said. He then tried to sit up, which was all he could do at the moment. Even doing that caused him physical pain, which was visible on his face. Once more, veins bulged on the side of his face, extending from each eye, and his featureless pupil seemed to appear within his eyes. "Ah crap. We're in trouble." he said upon seeing the Samurai heading towards the village with his Byakugan. Fighting through the pain, he tried to stand up, even using his staff as leverage to push him up. Once he was standing, he looked around for Aisu, waiting for his signal on what to do. His legs were wobbling. He wasn't sure if he could even stand up any longer. "Someone should go help Kotaro. He used a lot of chakra back there." Kizashi said as he began to walk over to Aisu slowly.

[Magnet Soldier]

"Okay. Sorry, you weren't moving is all. If your strong enough, could you carry Aisu for a minute while I get Kotaro. He looks pretty banged up." Kris said, lifting Aisu off his shoulder and passing him to Kizashi. "Thanks." Kris said, rushing over to Kotaro. "Kotaro! You ok? Wake up idiot. Your supposed to be the fiend of the Hidden leaf Village, and your asleep." Kris yelled at Kotaro, lifting him off the ground and onto Kris' shoulder. "Come on then." Kris muttered, walking towards Kizashi and Aisu. "What do we do now then? We cant help Izumi, I'm the only one of us capable of fighting." Kris stated, performing a simple handsign. "Water style: Water Bullet Jutsu." Kris muttered, a small blob of water splashing down on Kotaro's face in an attempt to wake him up.

[namelessk]

"It's okay." Kizashi said as he was walking towards Aisu. "Yeah, I got it." he added when he finally reached Aisu. He took Aisu from Kris and put him over his shoulder. He was in pain from some of his ribs being broken from his fall, but he was still able to lift Aisu. "Good thing you aren't that heavy." Kizashi said to himself. He then walked over to Kris and Kotaro while looking back towards Izumi. "This is a tough one. We've got Samurai Captains and Commanders heading this way, Renzo and Hideki are still here, Izumi is fighting alone, and three out of four of us are incapable of fighting at the moment. I can try as best as I can to hold them off, but I'm not sure if I can do much." Kizashi said. They needed a battle plan. He wasn't sure if they could even survive against all of those Samurai Captains in the condition they were in.
