[i]"So Seiro is still in captivity? Well I guess he proved to me he really was as weak as I thought."[/i] Kyo looked coldly at the one named Hanzo. "Uncaring of the death of an ally? Well I can't say I'm too different from you. I care for my own survival only, same as you. But I know we don't seek a common goal. I am an avenger. I exist to avenge my clan's massacre. But there is another reason I live. It seems people don't realize the only way to achieve peace, is to kill the ones who look to break it," Kyo looked up at the sky,"I will become Kazekage, and I will use my position to declare war on Kumogakure. When that happens, I'll end the Raikage. Everyone will think that I'm doing this in retaliation for the past. But no one knows that Kumo is not fully, if at all at fault for the end of my clan. And no one will after I end you. After I destroy Kumo, I will go after the true killers of my clan, after I find them of course. Slowly, I will kill all the powerful shinobi of the world, until I have become the most powerful. Then people will fear me so much that they dare not defy me. This way, I will keep peace in all villages on this planet." Kyo looked back at Hanzo, "Tell me, do you know a man by the name of Jino Raimi?" Kyo asked.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Raphael turned to see the man who dragged away, apparently his brother, earlier today. "Keh, yer brother almost died because he was weak and foolish; and your seeking revenge for his foolishness is just as foolish." Raphael quickly unclipped the kunai from his belt and through it just past the armored ninja's face, but unfortunately for the man it was only a distraction as Raphael was now gripping his shoulder. "Temporary Paralysis Technique." He recited, with his left hand's pointer and middle finger facing upwards to from a hand-sign and his right hand gripping the man's shoulder. "Your different though...your trying to attack out of anger and a sword of angry intent could never shatter a sword of calm and level-headed intent." Raphael quickly drew his blade and used it to break the armored ninja's sword swiftly and accurate so that the piece flew off and stabbed into the ground behind him, Raphael then sheathed his blade. "Your not worth my blade, your not worth my time, and your certainly not worth caring about for more than a second." Raphael walked over to the wall of the barrier and grabbed his kunai out from it and then walked over to the man and positioned it about his neck. "Your brothers only sin in this world, was not dying when he should have." Raphael said and then swiftly pulled back on the kunai in an attempt to kill the man quickly...

[I]This guy must have some connection to what had happened in the Hidden Leaf or he would not of attacked me in such a way?[/I]

-Jinn-Tu’s assumptions seemed to be running high as he jumped from tree branch to tree branch? He was no shinobi from one of the nations that he knew about. In fact, as far as he could eyes could see there was no head-band of any kind. So it had to be somebody else that was putting the pressure for the Hidden Leaf Village, and sending unknown figures to attack completely random Leaf shinobi. Jinn-Tu wanted to get to the bottom of this, and the only way he could figure that out was to use his byakugan to investigate that explosion that happened about ten maybe fifteen minutes ago. However, before he could perform such an action he had to meet up with Naoki and Shuro.-

-Coming in quick through the brush; he knew well he was getting closer as he saw two figures that were facing away from him towards the large building in the center of this forest. Jumping from a tree branch; Jinn-Tu emerged planting his feet on the ground. His right knee arched only enough to hit the ground while he left fingers lightly touched the dirt ground, and his right arm over his bent knee. Looking up he sensed a strong notion of chakra coming from these two individuals. Jinn-Tu did not need his byakugan to tell that these two people were in fact Naoki and Shuro. As he rose to full height both Naoki and Shuro spun on the heals of their feet, and drawing kunai knives out ready for an attack. Jinn-Tu simply raised an eyebrow knowing that they should be on their toe’s considering what has been going on around here the past couple of minutes.-

[COLOR="Blue"]”Relax guys it is only me.”[/COLOR]

-Jinn-Tu explained approaching his two teammates.-

[COLOR="Green"]”Oh, Jinn-Tu it is only you,”[/COLOR] –Came the voice of Naoki.-

[COLOR="Maroon"]”YEAH! What took you so long? We said if we ever split up we would meet here?”[/COLOR] –This came from Shuro.-

-Jinn-Tu could not help but raise an eyebrow on how Naoki acted. This was only about the two scrolls needed to make it into the next round of the Chunin Exam’s. It seemed that Naoki was only making things all the much worse for him; only considering that he risked his life to keep this scroll safe? Lowering his hand down he reached into the bag that held other necessities. Pulling it out he tossed it into the air and caught it in the palm of his hand.-

[COLOR="Blue"]”Say that to the person who risked his life to keep this scroll safe.”[/COLOR]

-Tossing it up he caught it again before placing it back in the small bag.-

[COLOR="Blue"]”But there is a problem? After I was separated; a mysterious shinobi began following me. He was able to attack me in some open space and managed to defeat my clone by using some kind of mysterious weapon that he summoned with a scroll.”[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Maroon"]”And you lead him here?”[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Blue"]”Well you know well that teamwork is one of the ways to accomplish a task?”[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Maroon"]”Hearing this from a branch family Hyu---“[/COLOR] –Shuro was then cut off by Naoki.-

[COLOR="Green"]”Knock it off Shuro, at least he made it here; now that were whole we will have a better chance of fighting with teamwork.”[/COLOR]

-Just then a medium-size noise erupted through the area which they stood. Shifting his gaze almost upon instant Jinn-Tu scanned over to where the noise was coming from. Lowering his hand down he to his tool bag he was prepared to pull out a kunai in case it was the same foe, and boy did Jinn-Tu have a strong hunch that this was that Hatori fellow? Only this time Naoki and Shuro were with him to as teammates should be?-

[Navras]

Aimi looked back at the way that the shinobi was headed towards them a cursed to himself, [i] What do I do?[/i] Aimi thougth. [i] Do I leave Li here to die or be killed by my adversary? No, no, that defeats the purpose of being team mates! But if I don't do somehthing, we'll both die, or if nothign else we'll fail the chunin exams. Damn it, I have to go on. If I can make it to the end, maybe they'll allow my team mates to advance with me, and if nothing else...[/i]
Aimi reached into his right hand side pouch and pulled out the green food pill he had taken from the fallen shinobi earlier. He looked at Li and said, "You want this?"
"Wouldn't do me much good," Li said. "I doubt it'd give me enough energy to get out of here anyways. You keep it. I'll stay here and defend myself until th exam is over, if I get enough strength, I'll catch up with you at the tower."
"You're sure?" Aimi asked.
"Yeah, at least one of us can pass this suicidal test." Li smiled and said, "Well what are you waiting for? That guy's still coming you know."
"Yeah, I know," Aimi said, standing up and swollowing the food pill. He looked down and Li and said, "You'd better survive," befor ejumping off to another branch to try and find a place to defend himself against his unknown adversary, unaware of the poison inside of him.
[i] First thing's first,[/i] Aimi thought. [i] I've got to get this wound cleaned up in a river or something, it's slowing me down. [/i]

[Champster]

[Kyo Yami]

Hanzo paid attention as the member of the Yami clan explained his intentions to him. He was suprised to hear the exact same motives he and Kyo shared and their experiences in the past. And then he began telling Hanzo of how he'll gain peace through sheer force and dominance, killing those who he deemed powerful enough to cause wars and hatred. And those who dared to defy him. [i]An impossible dream[/i], He thought. "I find this somewhat amusing. You say you and I do not seek a common goal. But believe me when I say this; You and I share the exact same purpose in this life. Could it merely be coincidence? Or has fate entrusted peace unto us both? You choose to gain peace through brute force, assassinating thoses you believe are hindering your way of creating harmony and cause constant fear to the rest of the world from tearing each other apart. But what happens after you die? After the end of your tyranny the world will resume back to its constant state of barbarous acts filled with hatred, countless innocent deaths and wars. You are still a child. You know nothing of this world and its brutal nature. You've only seen a glimpse of it. A mere fraction compared to what I've witnessed" Hanzo began. He looked over to the ridge and saw figures fighting one another. [i]Such disease much be purged[/i], Hanzo thought, [i]The world will only than gain true peace[/i]. "Tell me, do you truly seek to break the infinite chains of hatred and do what is absolutely necessaryto achieve peace? Then join [i]me[/i]. Together we will destroy the Five Great Shinobi Villages who ravaged these lands for decades with warfare and lust for power. Their so called [i]Justice[/i] is nothing but a plague, and has awoken an even greater evil. After we've accomplished our objectives and destroy those who oppose us we will recreate the world in our image and install true justice. And after decades - if not centuries - finally obtain peace!" He continued as he set his focus on the boy once more. "Join me, and I'm certain of this, we'll find the man you've been seeking; [i]Jino Raimi[/i]".

[Raphael Yaida]

The man, though unable to, grinned. "You really should mind your surroundings before you speak cocky, Kumo-Nin!" A voice spoke coming from behind Raphael and instinctly jumped sideways. He evaded a fatal wound but not without receiving a small cut on his cheek with a shattered blade. A blade Raphael believed he had tarnished and broke it and nearly killed its owner. Skidding along and eventually coming into a stop Raphael set his focus on the other man, whom released his ally that was currently in paralysis, and stood side by side. "You're..." Raphael uttered as he recognized the individual earlier before. The one he faced and defeated him with ease. And through that victory he received the Heaven Scroll. "This time you can't win. You will not! You see, we fight best when we're together". "Looks like Raphael has his hands full, no?" A voice came from behind Niiro, which made her jump. She spun around quickly and drew a set of kunai knives, each one between her fingers, and lowered herself in a fighting stance. "Careful now. You wouldn't want to get yourself cut from your own weapons, do ya?" The man said, his sharingan-like eyes staring down at the female. Raphael noticed the commotion where Niiro was and saw the man earlier before. The blue hair with sinister red-like eyes, pale skin and wearing dark clothing similar to that of an ANBU Black Op. Amagai. "Is he behind all this?" Raphael thought to himself as the duo stood in their fighting stances. "Who are you?" Asked Niiro, her eyes never leaving from the man and her pose remained the same. "Just a spectator, really" Amagai answered as he watched the fight starting once more. The armored ninja Raphael fought before moved exactly the same thing he did earlier. Moving the blade around him in a circle the armored shinobi began creating this unknown red essence floating around him that was being released from his torn sword. "Brother" He said before doing anything else. With a simple nod the armored ninja moves his sword in the same fashion, a trail appears from the sword's path, covering the acid mist. The trail turns into dozens of blades, each one containing a small amount of acid mist which would burst once a blade strikes its target and consume it. Or in this case, Raphael. With a simple movement of his sword the blades rains down on Raphael in rapid speeds.

[Jinn-Tu]

"Oh my, what have we got here?" This voice called out as he approached the three figures near the tower. "It would appear as though I have been blessed with two more individuals to kill" He sneered. Jinn-Tu narrowed his eyes the moment he saw Hatori holding the mechanism in his left hand. A strange weapon capable of dispersing a clone with relative ease. "Is this him?" Noaki asked, her hands turning into fists. "Yeah. Watch out for his weapon he's currently holding" Jinn-Tu replied. "Weapon or not, he's going down!" Noaki yelled as she rushed at the man named Hatori. "Noaki! Wait!" Shuro called out. Hatori quickly raised his arm and fired a much smaller version of the weaponry he held and propelled diretly towards Noaki. "Too easy!" She smirked as she catapulted herself upwards with a huge jump and quickly lands on the ground, all the while avoiding Hatori's attack. "Look out!" Shuro shouted. Noaki turned her head slightly to her left and looker over her shoulder and saw the fired weaponry quickly turning back towards her. "Wha-...?" She thought as it striked her behind her neck, which made her tumble forwards until coming to stop beside Hatori's feet. "My, my...it works!" Hatori smiled, his gaze lowering at the female besider his feet. Drawing a sword strapped behind his back Hatori began attempting to kill Noaki, whom was immobilized by the strange weaponry attached behind her neck. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!" Shuro roared as this giant sphere of flames rocket its self towards Hatori. Narrowing his eyes Hatori raised his arm yet again and held the machinery at shoulder height. "Hitomane!" He'd whisper. Only this time, nothing happened. With a few seconds to spare Hatori jumped upwards to avoid the attack and lands on a nearby tree. "Jinn-Tu, get Naoki!" Shuro ordered as he performed another set of hand seals. "[i]Ho...[/i]Must need some time to charge before it can function again" Hatori thought quietly to himself as he looked at the machine in his left hand while holding his blade on his right.

[Aimi Arisato]

It was decided. Aimi left Li to hide momentarily to gradually himself, fix up his wounds and once prepared, face off against the unknown adversary. He was to find a river or any source of water nearby to clean his wounds. He had little time to patch himself up before his opponent arrived. Dashing quickly throughout the forest Aim soon found a river flowing gently and focused healing himself first before doing anything else. As this happened Li hid himself inside a cavern close by. "So, your friend knew he was being slowed down by you and left ya here. Heh, makes me wonder why you bothered to team up in the first place. But then again If I were in his shoes I'd do the same. In fact, I'd booby trap my comrades just to give myself an advantage over my enemies. What an unfortunate turn of events. Oh well, two down" This snake-like voice spoke behind Li before he'd scream. Birds flocked away from the position as Aimi stood and looked up to see them. "That voice..." He muttered. Aimi feared the worst. Was Li killed? The chuckling menace of a familiar voice slightly made Aimi jump and looked over to the direction where he heard it from. "Are you frightened, child?" The man from earlier before said, his figure coming out from the darkness of the forest. "What have you done to Li!?" Aimi asked, his hands forming into fists. "What do you think I've done. This is the Forest of Death, afterall. It beckons for life and will not be satisfied until it feeds on the living" He smiled, sinisterly.

Kyo thought about what Hanzo had to say? He realized he sounded like a fool? He had not even thought about what would happen after he died? Hanzo seemed to know what he was saying, and what he was saying sounded very correct? "So what if I come with you, what if your not strong enough to create this future and your guidance leads me to the wrong path? What if it's not enough you and me? How can I even trust you to begin with, how do I know your not just completely lying about you goal and only wish to decieve me to strike at me when i'm unprepared? What you say tempts me a lot, but you what does joining you do to help me? How will I get stronger? Hanzo, do you really think your order has a better chance at changing this world than all of Sunagakure's shinobi combined? If you can give me the answers I want, I will join you.

[Navras]

Aimi ground his teeth together and took a grip on his last kunai. "You... you fiend! I'll make you pay, I swear it!" Aimi yelled as tremendous a battle cry as he could before charging his nameless adversary. He saw the man chuckle a little bit to himself and couldn't help but slightly smile; luckily for Aimi, he had fallen for it. The yell and the supposed suicidal charge was an act. Although Aimi did feel true anger at the loss of his team mate, it wasn't as if they had known each other sense they were children. Aimi had been placed in Li's team as a last minute decision, there was no special bond between them, but the shinobi didn't know that. So Aimi would play the role of the enraged team mate for a little bit, and when the time was right, he would strike.
When Aimi was no more than ten feet away from the shinobi, he threw his kunai at him but didn't stop running. Ignoring whether or not Aimi's enemy blocked the kunai, Aimi bent down quickly when he was no more than a couple of feet away from the shinobi and aimed a kick up towards his head, if his current plan worked, the kunai will have distracted him enough that this will connect. From there, Aimi would improvise for a while.

[Warrior_Tal]

-Jinn-Tu never stopped analyzing the situation at hand. Even after Naoki fell by the hands of Hatori's strange weapon that suppressed chakra; his eyes were quickly following the movements of what was going on. In fact, he seemed a little shaken when Hatori pulled out his sword and went for a killing blow upon his teammate. That was, until Shuro utilized one of the Uchiha clan's most promising moves: Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu. Only after did something click inside of Jinn-Tu on what had occurred? However, he quickly came back to reality when Shuro told him to go get Naoki while producing several more hand seals for another jutsu.-

-Pushing his foot back he jumped up disappearing in a slight blur, and then re-appeared next to Naoki who stood motionless with a smaller version of that strange weapon coming from her neck. Moving his hand over the weapon he gave it a slight [b]love[/b] tap. His eyes moved back up to Hatori who held onto the strange weapon with his left hand while the sword was firmly grasped in his right.-

[i]That weapon can suppress chakra, but it looks like it needs time to recharge before it can be used again.[/i]

-Taking a hold of the smaller version of the weapon within his grasp that was showing itself within in Naoki's neck; Jinn-Tu tugged only slightly on the weapon removing it from his teammates neck. Reaching down he grabbed a hold of Naoki's arm an hoisted her up. By the looks of it she was out cold from the strike to her neck? A possible pressure point that the weapon pierced into? His gaze moved up as Shuro completed his hand seals and jumped into the air closing the distance in between the two a little more. His pointer finger and thumb moved over to his mouth while the rest of his fingers where slightly away.-

[color="maroon"]"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"[/color]

-From Shuro's mouth spout out several small fire-balls all aimed towards Hatori. At that very same moment; Jinn-Tu moved over to keep Naoki standing upright. Arching his knees he jumped into the air and disappeared in a blur. No more then a fraction of a second later he re-appeared next beside one of the tower's walls. Kneeling down he lowered Naoki down until she was leaning up against the wall.-

[color="blue"]"Stay here, Naoki?"[/color] -Jinn-Tu said calmly.- [color="blue"]"Allow me and Shuro to take care of this foe."[/color]

-Closing his eyes Jinn-Tu turned back over to were the fighting was going on between Hatori and Shuro so far. [b]((Whether or not the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique worked or not))[/b]. Shuro landed on the ground and quickly backed flipped three times away from Hatori.-

-Standing up to full height; Jinn-Tu jumped away and landed next to Shuro? His gaze moved upward observing the strange weapon that Hatori held like a hawk. His byakugan was still inactive, but he was figuring the details out by the way the weapon worked. It suppressed chakra and seemed to absorb it weakening the opponent even more? However, a major flaw was that it took a while to recharge from an earlier use. And considering that it was able to suppress Jinn-Tu's lighting release clone gave Hatori a chance to have the weapon recharged and ready for the next encounter.-

[color="blue"]"I think I figured that weapon out, Shuro?"[/color] -With those words; Shuro glanced over to Jinn-Tu.-

[color="maroon"]"Great! How do we defeat it?"[/color] -Shuro questioned.-

[color="blue"]"It's not that easy. I fought that thing with a lighting release clone, and it was easily defeated by that thing. What I noticed is it suppresses chakra to a point where an opponent hit with it won't be able to hardly use chakra. It's sort of like the Gentle Fist combat that I use. However, there is a major flaw in the weapon and it's use."[/color] -Jinn-Tu's eyes shifted over to Shuro.- [color="blue"]"It can only be used once, and then after that it needs to recharge for another use. So you see that weapons greatest strength seems to be its greatest weakness?"[/color]

[color="maroon"]"Okay, so how do we defeat it?"[/color]

[color="blue"]"If I am correct; that weapon is already recharged. So the next time we use any kind of jutsu that involves chakra it will repel and absorb it for his own use. So what we will have to do is grab his attention with one of mine or your jutsu's and then attack him when he is blind."[/color]

[color="maroon"]"Sounds good. So who should go in?"[/color]

[color="blue"]"Well considering that I can suppress chakra flow through Gentle Fist; I think the safest bet would be for you to use your Great Fireball Technique and then allow me to come in with my Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four palms to stop his chakra flow."[/color]

[color="maroon"]"Alright let's do this."[/color]

[color="blue"]"Shuro, be careful; and please don't use your sharingan as I don't know if it can absorb kekkei genkai techniques?"[/color]

[color="maroon"]"Got it. Ready when you are."[/color]

-The conversation that Shuro and Jinn-Tu held was quiet enough so that Hatori could not hear it. Jinn-Tu could tell that the weapon suppressed chakra just like the Hyuga's Gentle Fist technique. However, Jinn-Tu was going to attempt to stop Hatori's flow of chakra through the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four palms ability that many Hyuga members knew. Shuro prepared himself with the same hand seals that he used the first time of attacking Hatori with his Great Fireball Technique while Jinn-Tu prepared himself with the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms style. If this was pulled off then Hatori would not be able to use any chakra to operate that weapon. It may cost Shuro some of his own chakra but it seemed well worth it to stop Hatori's chakra and gain an advantage of defeating him at that.-

"You'd like to know how the Order intends to accomplish all this? How we can achieve peace? That seems reasonable" Hanzo replied as he turned to the slowly smoldering village of Konoha below. Its people defending themselves against the attacking Kumo-Nin made Hanzo pity them how they're easily manipulated into fighting one another. [i]First step has been completed[/i], He thought, [i]War is now inevitable. Now onto the next phase[/i]. "Because every time a nation - be it one or the entire Five Great Shinobi Villages - reaches the pinnacle of its decadence we, the [i]Order[/i], return to restore the balance". Hanzo looked down and memories of a certain tragic events resurfaced. Memories he chose not to forget until he accomplished his goals. Not until he was satisfied that the entire world would live in harmony once more. Turning to Kyo yet again Hanzo continued, "You see, once, I had a wife. My great love. She was taken from me and our unborn child. As I searched the person responsible of their deaths I soon found out that a ninja hailing from this very village took their precious lives from me. And like you I chose the path of an avenger. But I didn't blame the lone shinobi who killed them nor this village or its inhabitants. Instead, I focused my gaze at an even higher degree and there lies the origin of the innocent deaths of my family; [b][i]Shinobi[/i][/b]!".

"The ninja world is beyond saving and must be purged of its suffering and injustice. It is one we've performed for centuries since the dawn of time when man first killed his fellow brother. This is the most important function of the Order" He continued, explaining to Kyo the foundation of the Order. "And how will you become stronger if you join the Order? I know the rage that drives you, [i]Yami[/i]. Your need to satisfy yourself with vengeance. That impossible anger strangling the grief, until the memory of your loved ones is just poison in your veins. Your anger gives you great power. But if you let it, it will consume and destroy you as it almost did me. And under my guidance I'll train you to hone your skills to a degree that is equal, if not exceed them, to that of a kage-ranked ninja!" He said as he turned to Kyo. He took a step further over to Kyo and held out his hand, a gesture of sort, motioning Kyo to join his organization.

"For I am [b]Hanzo Muirera[/b]! [i]Grandmaster[/i] of the Order!".

"Your comrade begged for his life as I carefully removed a dagger from its sheath before I maimed him with it. That's right, [i]Begged[/i]. Like a dog" The nameless armored shinobi teased as Aimi threw the kunai knife at him as he ran. With a simple sidestep maneuver the man had avoided Aimi's thrown kunai knife with ease. But what came after that surprised even a captain-rank such as him within his organization he belonged. Aimi's ideal moment presented itself before his eyes as the man evaded the attack. "Wha-...?" He'd utter as he focused his attention back at the Konoha-Nin, shifting back in his general direction forward to face him. But it was too late to react. The timing when Aimi threw his weaponry and the distance he took to take a moment to position himself for a kick to the man upwards was perfect. And not a moment too soon, either. His feet connected to the mans chin and struck him hard. Which slightly sent him upwards into the air but backwards, nevertheless. As gravity played its part the man fell to ground on his back with a large thud. Aimi had a few moments to take another critical offensive strike at the armored man before he'd recover. "Dammit!" He growled to himself as he slowly gradually picked himself up.

[Jinn-Tu Hyuga]

After explaining from what Jinn-Tu learned of Hatori's strange device to Shuro, he quickly called out his jutsu's name for a strategy they would use against him. A strategy they both hoped would become successful. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!". The roaring sphere of flame, deriving from Shuro's mouth that was being expelled from it through channeling his chakra into his fingers, quickly hurled its way to Hatori. Hatori meanwhile watched, whom stood idly as the blazing orb made its way to him, with a widening grin. "[i]Fools[/i]. Have they not figured out the abilities of Hitomane yet?" He'd whisper to himself as he raised his arm yet again at shoulder height, smiling at the two with such a foolish attempt. Then he realized something. Were they able to figure out the ability of his weapon that needed to recharge before fully activating it yet again? This made him concerned. But nevertheless the weapon he held and its odd shape triggered and was activated. The giant sphere had dispersed immediately the moment it was within the radius of Hatori's mechanism. "You see how pointless it is to attack me with such trivial-..." He spoke but was forced to stop when he no longer saw Jinn-Tu beside Shuro. His eyes quickly widened when he heard a voice behind him yelling, "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four palms!".

"What?!" He growled as he turned to look over his shoulder. From what he could see was the Hyuga in a Gentle Fist stance and begins punching at him behind his back with a multitude of continuous strikes. The moment Jinn-Tu hits him with his first strike of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms he notices something out of place. His chakra in his fingers were being suppressed and unable to close off the chakra points inside his foes body. Shuro had disappeared immediately when he noticed something wrong too and bolted at the man. Hatori quickly used his sword to take a swipe at the Hyuga while Jinn-Tuu was at a loss for moment as the man went to deliver a finishing blow. Just before he slashed at Jinn-Tu Shuro rammed at him using his shoulder, striking Hatori in his ribs which sent him flying. The man tripped and stumbles but quickly uses his sword to take a jab at the ground to straighten himself up in order to stand upright. "I'm impressed. You two were able to deduce that the device I hold needs time to fully recharge before I could use it again" Hatori smiled. He looked down at his sword and continued, "Your plan to surprise me would of worked had you not forgotten about one little detail. The [b]sword[/b]. The blade also has properties necessary to suppress chakra within a limited radius of its use. Had you two taken into the account of such thing perhaps things would of turned out in your favor" He added, chuckling afterwards. "You alright, Jinn-Tu?" Shuro asked as he looked at the corner of his eyes before focusing them on the man before them. "We should of used our Kekkai Genkai to make sure his sword couldn't operate in such matter before attacking him".

Kyo's eyes widened at this Hanzo's speech. Their lives were very identical. They both had someone they loved taken from them. Kyo knew this man was not lying about his intentions now. He looked straight at Hanzo's hand, which was reached out to him. He shook Hanzo's hand with his own. "I will join you. Your vision is just like my own, together we will save this world from the evil it has created. Teach me to become like you, so that I have the power to do this with you," Kyo said. He saw himself in Hanzo. He really believed that with Hanzo, Kyo could become powerful enough to carry out his vengeance and kill Jino. He believed he would be powerful enough to rip the evil straight out of this world. "Hanzo-sama, I accept your offer..."

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

"Fools..." Raphael strung together some hand-signs and then slammed his had into the ground. "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough." Raphael said as he created a sudden gust of wind, but instead of like before where it just blew away the smoke it mad a spear of wind around Raphael the not only redirected the blades back at the two armored ninja the speed of the projectiles was also upped. Raphael then through his shurken into the mix but they were charged with lightning chakra. "White Light Blade!" Raphael shouted and poured out a good amount chakra and the lightning was now surrounding all of the blades and not just Raphael's shuriken....

[Warrior_Tal]

[color="maroon"]"You alright, Jinn-Tu?"[/color] -Shuro questioned after using his own strength to push Hatori back.-

[color="blue"]"I'm fine, thank you Shuro."[/color]

-Jinn-Tu stood up straight wondering how they were going to be able to fight against an opponent who could suppress chakra with the strange weapon that he held. It seemed as soon as he was able to figure one out another came into play with the same kind of properties. Hatori had a back-up plan. While one recharged he could use the other to stop the flow of chakra without a problem, and the only thing that Jinn-Tu was able to establish was the use of Gentle Fist.-

[i]As soon as I figure one part of the solution out another seems to shoot up in it's place? How am I to use my Gentle Fist combat if he can simply suppress my chakra with those weapons?[/i]

[color="maroon"]We should of used our Kekkai Genkai to make sure his sword couldn't operate in such matter before attacking him."[/color]

-That seemed a little out of the ordinary to use the Sharingan or the Byakugan to figure such a problem out. If neither of them where careful; there was the possibility of ending up unconscious like Naoki without any chakra to help them out. For the moment Jinn-Tu closed his eyes seemingly out of ideas of what to do. Granted the Sharingan and the Byakugan would help them out in this sort of problem, but it was hard to tell if Hatori had a way of stabilizing the use of their kekkei genkai. Both forms were extremely difficult to combat against which made both Shuro and Jinn-Tu a well placed team.-

[color="blue"]"We are fighting blind, Shuro. I have a feeling that this guy wants us to use our kekkei genkai. I am starting to think that if we use it then there is a greater chance that he has some kind of jutsu to suppress the usage of the byakugan or the sharingan."[/color]

[color="maroon"]"But we have no other choice, Jinn-Tu. In order to defeat our opponent we will have to eventually use either one of our kekkei genkai. It maybe the only choice to find a weak spot in him?"[/color]

-Shuro seemed to have a point in the matter? If either one of them activated their kekkei genkai there was a good chance to spot that weakness in Hatori and to exploit with ease. However, the downside would be to expose themselves to an attack by the man that would stop their respective dojutsu. Jinn-Tu's eyes shifted over to Shuro who waited in on his answer of what to do. Jinn-Tu seemed like the only one of the team that was able to get things down before anyone else.-

[color="blue"]"Okay."[/color] -He finally said.- [color="blue"]"I'll use my byakugan to find the weakness of him. I'll guide you and help you to bring him down."[/color]

-Shuro nodded in approval; although, he really did not like the idea of Jinn-Tu putting himself in harms way. But that was the way the Hyuga did it. He seemed to always want to keep his teammates safe while putting his own life on the line. There was really no stopping him at this point? Exhaling a small breath of air; Jinn-Tu closed his eyes while performing four nearly perfect hand seals: the rat, the boar with nearly straight fingers, the dog, and finally the snake with only his right index finger straightened perfectly. No more then a half of a second later his eyes shot open. The pupils now more visible with veins appearing around his eyes and the temples of his face while uttering the words.-

[color="blue"]"BYAKUGAN!"[/color]

[Kirimono Murusaga]

"Speechless..." The Raikage said as he looked down on Kirimono. If this were a real war he'd have no trouble in killing him and any other, be it children or the elderly, who stood in his way of victory. "Next time, do not hesitate to attack or flee from your enemies, [i]Konoha-Nin[/i]. No matter how strong or feeble they are. They will not share your compassion. Such actions will definitely and ultimately lead to your death. You must fight them without hesitation, without pity" Said the Raikage, yet another rare feat. This wasn't war, and luckily for Kirimono the large muscular man simply ignored him and continued his way to what he thought was the Hokage mansion near the Hokage monument. Kirimono couldn't believe he was inches away from death if it turned into a battle. But he was spared from its grasp thanks to the Raikage and his intentions. He suddenly remembered what he was doing when the battle began; Find Chizu. "Chizu!" His mind shouted at him and immediately sprinted off to her house. Avoiding fights along the way Kirimono soon arrived and barged right in without knocking. Such a thing would be a waste and time consuming during at this state the village was in. "Chizu!" He called out. No answer. The building across the street lit on fire, which caught Kirimono's attention, and as he looked outside through the open door he saw a note with a kunai on its wooden surface. He rushed to read it and saw its contents.

[Kyo Yami]

Hanzo smiled at him and was certainly pleased with Kyo's decision. He had no doubt that he would become his greatest student, and one that would be standing beside him as they saved the world of its hatred and injustice. "[i]Excellent[/i], Kyo. And have faith in the Order. We [i]will[/i] rid the world of the Ninja rule and the shinobi - for our plan is already in motion and soon enough it will become into fruition" He said, with great confidence. Forming a single hand seal with his free hand Hanzo uttered one word to himself before letting go of Kyo's hand. "Amagai's antics at the Forest of Death have forced my hand. I'll need eyes after the battle here has concluded. And knowing [i]them[/i], it'll end very soon. So, resume the role of a Genin from Sunagakure, Kyo, and when its time I'll come to you. From then on we'll begin your training" He added, a smile in his voice. He grew serious when a sudden bolt of lightning came crashing down on the Hokage building not far from them. [i]Looks like the Raikage has met up with the Hokage[/i], Hanzo thought, [i]I should be going, then[/i]. As he focused his gaze down below he noticed something wrong with the scene. A staff, one that is familiar to Kyo, remained where Miharu had fallen to his death. "If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart" Hanzo said, referring to the incident with Miharu Nerazo. Before disappearing - his figure descending underneath the ground - He continued, "And to whom, you ask? I'm certain you'll know who and what to do when that time comes".

[Raphael Yaida]

The multitudes of barraging blades and shuriken's came rushing at the two with rapid speeds. As this happened Amagai created numerous hand seals for some unknown reason and muttered to himself. "This is not the end for either of us!" The armored ninja yelled. He turned to his brother and both nodded each other once and knew what to do next. With a simple tap of his finger to the hilt of his sword the blades blurred for a moment in attempt to rid of them, which would reduce the damage they'd be receiving. This attempt, however, failed. "I-Impossible!" The man uttered when he soon noticed this. All they could do now was scream as dozens of accelerated weapons were steered towards the two with enhanced piercing capabilities, killing the duo instantly as they rain downed upon them. The moment they died paper bombs all over the barrier simultaneously appeared, but did not ignite nor explode. "You did well, Raphael Yaida. I'd expect nothing less from you" Amagai said, clapping his hands together. Soon enough the barrier shattered and eventually dispersed, allowing Raphael to continue. Niiro, meanwhile, never left her sights on the mysterious man and was constantly ready for anything. "Raphael, you know this man?" She asked, her left hand hid inside her pouch all this time.

[Jinn-Tu Hyuga]

As Shuro and Jinn-Tu discussed each other on what to do next, Hatori couldn't help but chuckle lightly to himself. An idea began forming the moment he realized when his opponents found out he needed time to recharge his strange device - which allowed an individual whom wields it to suppress chakra at an impressive rate - and decided to stop pestering them. Hatori raised his arm at the two the moment Jinn-Tu shouted, "BYAKUGAN!", And fired another but different device at them. But instead of targeting the two the smaller mechanism being blasted directly their position struck the ground below Jinn-Tu's feet and at that moment a pulse from earlier before exploded. "I-Impossible!" The Hyuga uttered, his dojutsu had easily been canceled out. "What is it?" Shuro asked as he turned his head over to Jinn-Tu. "By simply looking at the expression on your face I can tell your Byakugan was suppressed as well, yes?" Hatori questioned, though it was a rhetorical one. "If I can stop the Hyuga's Kekkai Genkai then it is highly likely that I'll be able to cease any other, including the Sharingan" He added, a smile in his voice. A sinister one.
Everything that had transpired here were going perfectly well. Hatori's intentions for fighting Jinn-Tu and his teammates all along were to test out the prototype he was tasked to create, and based on the results, he was successful. "I can see it in your face, mostly in eyes, that you're perplexed as to why I've bothered to attack either of you from the very beginning. Its quite simple, actually. I've been searching for one of the dojutsu clans for almost three days now participating in the Chuunin Exams and finally caught up with a Hyuga. And as I chased [i]you[/i] down I was fortunate enough to stumble upon an Uchiha" He explained. His mission was complete. The mechanism he created worked, but needed some tweaking before he'd recommend it for a mass production to the organization he belonged. One that would change the very foundations of the ninja world and shift its course. "I must be going for I have little time to continue fighting beings of [i]your[/i] caliber. Which is to say, none" He added as his figure descended underneath the ground until he vanished.

"[u]Training Grounds[/u]?" Kirimono asked to himself. He then remembered saying something to Kazuki earlier. [b][u]Kazuki you head to the Training Grounds.[/u][/b] He then looked at the kunai with a lot of focus. He then realized it. "Amagai-Sensei...Kazuki...That's it!" Kirimono then dashed for the Training Grounds, feeling as though he's about to break Chizu's promise to keep Kazuki from Amagai. Let's just hope he gets there in time before something bad happens. Once he deals with Kazuki, he will continue to look for Chizu and finally go back to the Hokage before the Raikage kills him. [i]I have to make it. If I fail now, I'll probably be the outcast of the village, like it would survive.[/i] he thought.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Raphael looked at the man and placed his hand on his sword hilt. "Keh, we've met, if that's what your implying." Raphael said to Niiro, all while not taking his hand off his blade and keeping his eyes locked on Amagai. Raphael took his hand off his blade and smirked before turning his back to Amagai and then recollecting his shurkien and sticking them in his pouch. "So tell me, Amagai." Raphael said and then grabbed both of the ninja's blades and used his White Light Blade to obliterate them from existence. "Why have yer men so easily killed and why have me do it? On top of that, why help me kill them in the end." Raphael said, and then looted the two ninja's bodies for weapons and gear he could use...

[Magnet Soldier]

"You know, I'd rather perish you than that thought. But I'll hold my stance for know. You're too weak for me to kill now, and I dont have the right equipment. I was planning on slowly ending your life with the knife I found sticking out of Chizu's chest, dried blood caked all over it!" Kazuki's voice had lowered into a fierce growl, more bloodthirsty than any body had ever know him. He couldn't understand why he was like this, Chizu was only a Teammate, and Amagai's Betrayel wasn't that bad. He sighed and calmed down. "You dont deserve to live." He hissed, shaking his head, his hair flicking about over his face. Rain had just start to fall, hiding the single tear that fell down Kazuki's cheek. "You betrayed us. Why should I listen to you?" Kazuki asked quietly, knowing Amagai would hear him anyway. "Why would you want want to save Konoha? You've already betrayed it once." Kazuki questioned, louder this time, in a voice that wasn't as harsh as he previous voice, but that hurt much more. Kazuki hoped it hurt, Amagai had been like the father his father had never been.

[Warrior_Tal]

-Overall the surprised look that Jinn-Tu held seemed to not of disappeared. Even after Hatori left them; the Hyuga coud not keep it out of his mind that Hatori was able to use some kind of prototype weapon that easily suppressed the kekkei genkai of the Hyuga clan? The byakugan nex to the sharingan was one of the most well respected dojutsu seen within the Hidden Leaf Village. To see it easily cancelled out was nothing more then a miracle in anyone's eyes. The silence overall was great between the three that stood there. Shuro's gaze moved over to were Hatori had disappeared and then back over to Jinn-Tu.-

[i]How? How could the byakugan be so easily defeated by a mere weapon. That weapon held a strong weakness, but it was easily able to stop the activation of my byakugan.[/i]

-The thought rolled over in his head several times? Soon enough the Hyuga's head lowered down, and his eyes close for the moment. His hands tightened up into fists upon seeing the cancelation of his own kekkei genkai. Shuro's gaze shifted back over to Jinn-Tu who was above all else silent.-

[color="maroon"]"Jinn-Tu are you alright?"[/color] -Shuro questioned.-

-When no answer came; Shuro soon realized that his teammate was pretty shaken up on what had occurred. He had used his kekkei genkai, and it completely back fired on him when he went to activate it. Shuro couldn't help but feel the same way. If he had activated his sharingan then that Haruko characterwould of done the very same thing to stop the activation of his own dojutsu. Letting out a sigh; Shuro's gaze quickly shifted over to Naoki who was slowly waking up. With all that had happened it seemed like this team needed some rest, but they were far from done. Moving over to Naoki; Shuro leaned next to her placing his right knee on the ground while his left hand found it's way onto her shoulder.-

[color="maroon"]"Are you okay, Naoki? Anything broken or in pain."[/color] -Shuro now questioned Naoki.-

[color="green"]"Don't worry I will be fine, Shuro?"[/color] -Naoki answered.-

-Shortly after Naoki's gaze shifted upward landing upon Jinn-Tu who stood motionless with his head lowered. Naoki's gaze moved over to Shuro who rose to his feet and shifted his own gaze over to Jinn-Tu as well.-

[color="green"]"What's wrong with Jinn-Tu, Shuro?"[/color]

[color="maroon"]"We lost the fight, Naoki."[/color]

[color="green"]"What do you mean 'We lost the fight', Shuro?"[/color]

[color="maroon"]"Me and Jinn-Tu were fighting that mysterious shinobi with the strange weapon. The one that knocked you out. Well Jinn-Tu activated his kekkei genkai and well..... his byakugan was cancelled out."[/color]

[color="green"]"No. Are you serious?"[/color]

-Shuro didn't answer just simply nodded his head in conjunction with Naoki's answer. This gave Naoki all the much more surprise that Jinn-Tu's byakugan was cancelled out by a mere weapon. Placing her hands against the towers wall; slowly Naoki wose to her feet.... her gaze remaining on Jinn-Tu who had not spoken since Hatori had left them alone. Knowing that Jinn-Tu was shakened by the event; Shuro knew well that he would have to get over it. If it was another weakness to exploit then both Shuro and Jinn-Tu would have to find a way to over-come that weakness of keeping their dojutsu active in front of this opponent if they were about to face off against him again.-

-Letting out a sigh Shuro walked back over to Jinn-Tu. Lifting his hand up he placed it on his shoulder offering several small taps to comfort his friend. After a moments of silence he decided to speak.-

[color="maroon"]"Don't feel bad Jinn-Tu? You did not know if that weapon was able to cancel dojutsu. Things happen? It is just a better excuse to move on. AND besides that won't be the last time we meet him in battle. If anything he will return to finish the task of killing either one of us off. Let's move on and get into the tower. The next stage of the Chunin exams are calling our names."[/color]

-Hearing Shuro's words caused Jinn-Tu to look up; his featureless eyes moving out past the forest edge where trees remained stacked in a nice neat line. Taking a calm breath of air; he actually had to agree with Shuro on the matter. That Hatori character left without finishing the job of eliminating an Uchiha and a Hyuga. He would return soon even if it was in the battle stage of the exams. It would be only there that either Shuro or Jinn-Tu would face him in combat and hopefully defeat him.-

-Lowering his grip on his hands; Jinn-Tu released the breath of air he took and turned over to Shuro with a nodding approval. Reaching into his black pouch he pulled out the scroll he had been holding onto. Lifting it up he handed the device to Shuro who took it with a smile.-

[color="blue"]"You are right, Shuro."[/color] -Jinn-Tu said quietly.- [color="blue"]"We will meet him again; even if it is in the chunin exams battle round."[/color]

-Both Shuro and Naoki nodded in approval. They knew that Jinn-Tu would want to face this man off again to show him the true strength of a Hyuga even without the byakugan active. However, many Hyuga were trained to utilize their byakugan in battle. Maybe this would be one of those times where he did not use his kekkei genkai.-

[i]And when we do; I will make sure that weapon of his is suppressing his own chakra instead of mine.[/i]

-Watching Shuro move back over to Naoki; Jinn-Tu turned slightly wondering about what had happened in the Hidden Leaf. Now seemed to be the perfect time to investigate it using his byakugan.-

[color="blue"]"Before we head inside, I'd like to check in on something."[/color]

-Both Shuro and Naoki stopped and looked back at Jinn-Tu. Just as they did the Hyuga closed his eyes and created the last hand seal to activate the byakugan. The snake with only his right index finger raised perfectly. No more then a fraction of a second later his eyes shot open with the pupils being more visible and veins bulging out on the side of his face.-

[color="blue"]"BYAKUGAN!"[/color]

-After those words; Jinn-Tu extended his field of vision through his kekkei genkai outward. Moving past several trees, rocks, and soon enough the buildings of the Hidden Leaf Village. He quickly closed in on the explosion site to see what had really happened during his travel to meet up with his team. A perfect chance before entering into the tower to move onto the next round of the exams.-

[BLUR]

[i]"I'm am with the Order now, and they are allied with the Raikage. So I have basically joined the one I swore to destroy. No matter, when the time is right and I am stronger, I'm sure Hanzo will have me get rid of him..."[/i] Kyo couldn't talk with the Hokage, especially since he was currently fighting the Raikage. [i]"I have to find Hana. But she could be anywhere in this big village. At least I'm on the Hokage monument."[/i] Kyo looked down and inspected the area, but he couldn't find Hana in the bloodshed that was ensuing before him. [i]"She might already be dead."[/i] Kyo kept looking still to no avail. Kyo thought of the peace he would put in this world with the help of Hanzo. [i]"But to gain true peace, massacres must be made. I don't understand, was the destruction of my clan to gain true peace? It can't be, that was a betrayal! Jino Raimi looks not for true peace, just power! Although our methods are somewhat alike, we seek different results..."[/i] Taking one last look at Konoha, Kyo spotted Hana. She was on a rooftop fighting unknown enemies(or an enemy). Kyo quickly made his way down from the Konoha monument and headed towards Hana's location...

[Navras]

Aimi knew that he only had seconds. His plan was working so far, but he couldn't let up. "That's a lie!" he shouted. "Li would never beg for his life!" While Aimi shouted this at his adversary he was making hand signs. Making the final sign, he called, "Wing style, Petal Dance Jutsu!" Aimi stood still where he was as the wind suddenly blew and petals from asorted flowers joined the wind. With a crazed roar, he threw both of his hands forward, making the petals and the wind fly at his adversary like hundreds of kunai.

-30 chakra. -10 fatigue.

[Magnet Soldier]

Seni jumped to avoid another attack by the mysterious Ninja, and quickly ran behind the ninja, delivering a quick jab to the neck which stunned the ninja. He jumped off the building and followed Kirimono. He managed to follow him to a house before losing him, but noticed a note stabbed into the house on a knife with a similar design to the Kunai Kazuki had given him. Seni read the note, sighing. It said two words, but they said enough. [i]Training Ground.[/i] Seni smiled slightly, jumping on top of the roof of the nearby house and looked in the direction of the training ground. When he was positive he knew where the training ground was, he ran in that direction, blurring from roof top to roof top.

[Champster]

[Kyo Yami]

Focusing chakra onto his feet Kyo quickly ran downwards along the ridge. "Looks like Hana could use some help..." Kyo thought to himself. Upon reaching the ground level Kyo jumped from the ridge, propelling himself into the air, and onto a nearby rooftop and dashes towards her. "This is the end for you, my dear" The man said, coldly. Hana seemed weary and appeared as though she was losing to this armored ninja. Her opponent wasn't from either of the villages and as Kyo drew closer he could tell he was from the same organization as he was. "This could be troublesome...Wonder what can I do in this situation. He probably doesn't know I belong to the same Order as he is" Kyo pondered over his thoughts, puzzled. As he approached the two Kyo remained cautious not to involve himself with the battle between Hana and her opponent, whom happened to be a member of the Order. "[i]Ho...[/i]" The man turned to Kyo and grinned. "Kyo...?!" Hana thought. Kyo remembered what he was told to do. He'd have to fight this man if he were to continue what he was ordered to do. Assuming in his fighting stance Kyo readied himself for an attack from the armored ninja. But the man simply stood there, his attention caught by something else.
"Understood..." He suddenly said, as if he were talking to someone just now. The armored man simply turned and dashed off elsewhere. [i]Strange[/i], Hana thought. For a moment there she seemed to of forgotten Kyo was even there and appeared to be puzzled. For the last several minutes she and that man fought to the death and suddenly when Kyo appeared he went running. "Hana..." Kyo called out to her teammate. She turned and answered him, "Kyo?! I thought you were still fighting that man...But I am glad you're here". Hana stood back up and glanced over to the Hokage monument. She couldn't help but wonder what exactly happened up there with that man and Kyo. "This isn't probably the best time, but what happened between you and that man, Kyo?" She'd ask. Then, it hit her. Seiro was the only person with the information he had that would probably stop the Kages from spiraling into war. "Quickly, we must get to Seiro before this battle is over" She said. Kyo nodded nonchalantly and followed closely behind Hana as she ran toward an abandoned building nearby. Upon entering it Kyo saw it was empty and knew that this was a ruse. "Release!" Hana uttered one word and the Genjutsu that was placed inside the building disappeared. It still remained the same but what was different from earlier before was a knob on the wall. Turning said knob Hana entered into another room, one that seemed to of erected with a barrier and in the middle of that room a blue-haired shinobi was sitting on a chair, his hands tied behind his back. "Seiro..." Kyo thought. At that moment he had an urge to kill this boy, but doing so would mean failure on his part when he was ordered to do what he was doing before from Hanzo.


[Raphael Yaida]

"These men are simply hired mercenaries and hold nothing compared to the organization behind this attack" Amagai replied. "And why did I bother to help you? Konoha and Kumo are at war, Raphael. We have little time for such trivial matters at the moment" He answered, sharply. Turning his head to look over his shoulder Amagai gazed at the ever increasing boiling clouds above the village of Konoha. He needed individuals strong enough to take down the Order, both enemies and allies alike. "I need you to do something, Raphael. The Raikage is making a terrible mistake and believes it was Konoha that attacked your village days ago. Fact is, it wasn't either of the villages, but an organization called [i]Order[/i] that planned and attacked it. I know all this because I belong to this said organization..." Amagai explained. Niiro stood there listening carefully as the man in front of her revealed the truth behind the attack. [i]But is it true[/i]? She thought, [i]And what would this Amagai individual gain by betraying the same organization he belonged to, anyway?[/i]. Turning back to Raphael Amagai would gladly go into great detail as to why, but he knew they had little time. The Raikage and the entire Kumo-Nin were deceived and manipulated into attacking Konohagakure so that the Five Great Shinobi Villages would spiral into another great war. "Then why not go to him directly, or to your Hokage if you want to stop this from happening" Niiro said, curious. Amagai scoffed and replied with an answer, "My ties with Konoha has been severed -- and not to mention during this misunderstanding between our villages, I highly doubt your Raikage would consider even listening to me".

"It is up to you Raphael, or at least your Sensei, to reason with your Raikage with this evidence" Amagai pulls out an envelope from his pouch and hands it over to Raphael. It had details explaining the attack on the village and important background information about a man named Hanzo. "Raikage won't even believe this information, I'm sure, but I know he'll listen and perhaps with a little luck see the truth, and stop all this from happening when he sees the name...".


[Kazuki Nameni]

Amagai sighed with relief the moment Kazuki decided to put their differences beside them and would let him have a chance to talk. A chance that they'd save Konohagakure, and perhaps the entire Five Great Shinobi Villages from spiraling into war. "If I could, I'd tell you why..." He whispered to himself, but hesitated to continue. This was the only way to accomplish what he'd set out to complete. Even if it meant betraying his village - and what seemed to hurt him even more - betraying his students. "Konoha alone isn't whats at stake, Kazuki, but the entire ninja populace" He said as he grew serious. Amagai knew what the Order was capable of and if they weren't stopped here and now it would mean trouble for the ninja world in the long run. "The [i]Order[/i] intends to manipulate the Five Shinobi Villages into going war, and when they weaken each other enough [i]and[/i] least suspect it, they'd tear them apart" He explained. Before he was allowed to even continue both he and Kazuki sensed a familiar presence approaching them. "Kirimono...?" Amagai thought as he glanced over where the person was coming from.

[Kirimono Murusaga]

Kirimono had a lot in his mind. And the two forces fighting amongst each other didn't seem to help at all. He was certain - intuition perhaps - that Kazuki and Amagai were at the Training grounds either talking or fighting to the death. Something he'd hoped that it was the former. "Must get to the training grounds as quickly as possible" He muttered to himself. Kirimono couldn't help but notice that he was being followed and looked over his shoulder. Was it the Kiri-Nin he met earlier before? Or was it someone else. Either way he didn't have the luxury to confront him or her and thought it was best to continue onwards. His follower would be dealt with after the matter at hand is resolved. Something Kirimono promised Chizu from ever happening to a certain person. "Someone's up ahead...!" Kirimono thought as he approached the nearest training grounds. Dashing through a forest he came upon said area and saw two figures...

"Amagai-Sensei...and Kazuki!".


[Jinn-Tu Hyuga]

"I-Impossible!" Jinn-Tu suddenly said, shocked. Both Naoki and Shuro turned their heads and looked at one another. Confused. "Whats the matter, Jinn-Tu?" Asked Noaki as she set her gaze back at the member of the Hyuga clan. Jinn-Tu was at a loss of words and couldn't explain what was happening in the leaf. Smoke, fire and death was everywhere. Ninja's from both Kumo and Konoha appeared fighting one another and seemed as though the leaf was losing. Was all this really happening? War? Jinn-Tu was baffled. "Konoha is under attack by Kumo-Nin..." He finally answered. "What?" Said Shuro, surprised. Naoki stared at the ever growing clouds from the village and wondered if it was true. She believed him, but she couldn't believe what she heard. Konohagakure was attacked by Kumogakure for some reason and they needed to know why. Otherwise, they couldn't enter the Chuunin Exams whilst the Jounin's were busy fending off the attackers. "We need to go back to the village, now!" Naoki said, sharply. "No...we should hand these scrolls before going back" Shuro replied. "What do you think, Jinn-Tu?" Noaki questioned.


[Aimi Arisato]

The ferocious gale of wind came crashing down on the man, propelling him into the air and crashes into a stomp of tree. Aimi was certain he was still alive and remained in his fighting stance after delivering that attack. "Impressive..." He said, complimenting Aimi. Picking himself up the man dusted himself and continued, "But you gotta admit, that wasn't much of a technique. You still need to hone your jutsu's before actually one-shotting people like me". The armored ninja cracked his neck, his armor seemed to of taken most of the damage and only received minor cuts where he wasn't protected. "Care to know how he went? [i]Besides[/i] begging, of course" He teased, tilting his head to his left. Giving Aimi this insane look and pose that would frighten most people, the man continued, "I simply gave him a small cut with my sword..." He answered. Aimi lowered his eyebrows, confused and puzzled to what he just heard. "Does this mean Li is still alive?" Aimi thought, a small spark of hope for his teammates life raised. Reading him through and through, the armored man grinned when he realized what Aimi thought. "Of course not! Even by receiving the tiniest cut from my sword, your friend - [i]Li[/i] as you call him - is no longer on this world. He died from its poisonous abilities!" He explained. Aimi soon realized something. [i]I was struck by a shuriken earlier[/i], He thought, [i]Was it also filled with poisonous properties?[/i].

"So you figured it out..." The armored man grinned. Sinisterly.


[Seni Madala]

Seni often ran from rooftops to rooftops, disappearing from one location and reappearing to the next. He had been following Kirimono but lost him at the girl named Chizu's house. Luckily there was a note at the door that suggested where he sent. [i]Training Grounds[/i]. Normally, Kiri-Nin or any other shinobi not from this village would know its location. But Seni wasn't your regular ninja. He wasn't much of a tracker, either, but Seni knew where Kirimono was headed. A sudden bolt of lightning crashed down onto a building nearby and stopped to take a scan. "Interesting..." He muttered to himself the moment he saw two figures. One was a much taller, muscular tanned individual while the other seemed pale, tall but thin. Judging from the outfits and their massive chakra reserves Seni deduced one was the Hokage while the other was the Raikage. "It makes little difference..." Raikage said. Seni couldn't hear those last couple of words and with that, two Kage-ranked ninja's engaged in battle on the ruins of the Hokage building. Seni could tell he would get in the way of their attacks and perish if he had stayed and watched and decided it was best to continue. Avoiding most of the battles along the way Seni eventually arrived near the training grounds where he saw Kirimono standing idly by himself. But as he drew closer he saw two more figures...

[Magnet Soldier]

"Kirimono....." Kazuki muttered, looking over his shoulder slightly. He sighed and placed his hands together, and a ball of fire appeared in his hands, but his body was in the way of Kirimono and the fireball, so it couldn't be seen by Kirimono. He also noticed the other Ninja, Seni, behind Kirimono, and Kirimono seemed not to have noticed. [i]Kirimono musn't interfere. I need to listen to Amagai! It may explain what has been happening. By the sounds of it so far, it isn't good.[/i] Kazuki thought to himself, as the small fireball grew in strength and size. "Fire Release, Roaring Flame Sphere." Kazuki muttered, before shouting over his shoulder. "Kirimono! Dont attack him! At the moment he is not our Enemy!" He was surprised that the words were coming out of his mouth, and not Kirimono's. Chizu would never speak up like this, and Kazuki was too bloodthirsty. Kirimono was always the one who calmed everyone down. Deep down in Kazuki's subconscience, Kazuki suddenly realised how important his teamates were to him, how they helped him from making the wrong move, but was too busy and preoccupied to register it. He looked back at Amagai, but still talking to Kirimono. "Listen to him! He may be able to make all this Make sense!" He looked back at Amagai, who could see the Fireball, but knew it was not aimed for him, but was to protect him.....at the moment.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

Kirimono stopped in his tracks, hearing what Kazuki had just said. "It seems you finally came to your senses Kazuki! I came to stop you from killing Amagai-Sensei, but I guess you finally realize that what you had in mind isn't going to happen." he told Kazuki, looking towards Amagai and back at Kazuki again. "I promised Chizu that if you attempted to kill Amagai for any reason, I would stop you, no matter the reason." He then looked towards Amagai once again. "So you know why the Raikage and the Kiri-Nin have invaded our village do you?" He then began to slowly walk up to Kazuki's side. "If you must, explain from the very beginning. And I would like to ask you a few questions when you're done." He then sighed. He never thought Kazuki would ever have a change of heart and decide to listen to what Amagai-Sensei had to say. This is the first he ever saw this side of Kazuki at all.

[BLUR]

"Seiro! You better listen good to what Hana has to say. Remember that we can easily kill you right now, and I won't hesitate to torture you if need be," Kyo said calmly. Truthfully, Kyo actually did want to use those methods on Seiro but knew he shouldn't. He would fail Hanzo by doing that, and at the time that was the last thing he wanted to happen. He hoped Seiro wouldn't give away to much, but give away something to satisfy Hana. [i]"Seiro, for the first time in my life...I'm counting on you..."[/i]

[Warrior_Tal]

[i]I hate it when they leave the decission making up to me.[/i] -The Hyuga thought.-

-Naoki and Shuro seemed to always pesture on a formulated plan when their sensei was not around as much. What would they do without the Hyuga kid in the first place? He seemed to be the last person they looked over to for answers to questions? Was it the simple ability of him using his byakugan to scope a situation or out?, or was it genuis skills in coming with a plan of attack. Jinn-Tu let out a sigh wondering about the whole thing himself. If they turned and left to see what had occured in the Hidden Leaf; that would leave less of an opportunity to enter into the next stage of the chunin exams. Then again? If they turned in the scrolls then they would probably miss out on something important.-

[color="blue"]"You guys always count on me to make the final decission, don't you?"[/color]

[color="maroon"]"Well you do have better ways of formulating plans."[/color] -Shuro said crossing his arms.-

[color="blue"]"Even though my last plan was turned against us?"[/color]

[color="green"]"Well at least you guys were able to fend that mysterious guy off."[/color] -Naoki spoke out.-

-Jinn-Tu let out a sigh in the matter; their best bet was to turn the scrolls in and then go and discover what was going on in the Hidden Leaf village. Although, it wa their duty to keep the village safe; the side note was if they did not turn in the scrolls they would have zero chances of getting into the final rounds of the chunin exams. The Hyuga's gaze shifted between his two teammates. Another sigh escaped his mouth before deciding to answer on what to do.-

[color="blue"]"Even though we need to figure out what had occurred; we should first turn in the scrolls and then go find out what happened in the village. That seems like our best bet for the moment."[/color]

-The Hyuga calmed down once more; his byakugan de-activating. With little words to go by between the three of them; Jinn-Tu followed forward moving to the center complex. First they were to turn in the scrolls and then go and help out the Hidden Leaf anyway possible if this was a potiental war problem.-
