[Earth Victory - Graded][Earth Country Attacks] Battle Site 3

Post by Ace Trainer » Wed Dec 28, 2022 10:46 pm

About 200km west of the border from where Heart Empire has now claimed the previously named Gold Country, a partially mountainous region sits in the center of the westernmost state of Wind Country (20i). There, the mountain range declines into a hilly area, encircling what was once a small mining town. With tall grass and short trees, the town consists of 47 buildings arranged in essentially two straight lines going from east to west. At the end of the two straight lines now stands a tower 75m in height, built of sandstone. As the sun sets over the town, the tower casts a long shadow that eventually covers both rows of homes, a signal to the townsfolk that the work day has come to an end.

The land to the west of the tower (so opposite from the town), is flat, but to both the south and north, the land gradually grows into the small mountain range, with small hills moving up and down for roughly 250m until it becomes flat, with just enough space to nestle the two rows of buildings in. Beyond the hills directly to the north and south the mountains reach approximately 350m in height, and slowly move together to the east until they join into a single mountain roughly 620m in height. On the mountain exists snowcaps, but the rugged and broken terrain prevents any avalanches from reaching the town, truly placing it in the perfect position.

On the ridge of the tallest mountain roughly three hundred sixty five meters above its base and just above the tree line, Kotaru stood overlooking the mining town below. Their target lay ahead on the other side of the town. The tower looked out of place and was clearly built much more recently than the rest of the structures in the area. He stood among his squad members, jaw clenched as his gaze briefly fell on Enzaragi. Whoever placed a missing ninja of Iwagakure with a bannin whose job it was to hunt them certainly had a deranged sense of humor. Luckily his sister-in-law Natsumi, one of the few people in the world the man truly trusted, was also on his squad. Kotaru performed two sets of seals, one after the other, in preparation for what was ahead.

"Cover your ears," he warned as a large sphere of chakra formed in his left palm, "or do whatever you need to so you don't hear this thing explode. Draw them out and cover me." With that, he channeled a small amount of chakra between his shoulder blades, and his eroshiin - his wings - blossomed behind him. In the next moment he dropped down from their perch with his wings tucked, briefly gaining speed as he descended while avoiding the sparse trees and jagged cliffs. As he flew toward the town his speed slowed to nearly a complete stop, and when he was thirty meters above and east of the closest building he rapidly clicked his tongue against teeth, listening for further details of the area - and what may be hiding there.

Prepared JutsuShow
Burst
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the needed hand seals, Kotaru a creates large sphere of chakra roughly half a meter in diameter. This sphere can potentially be launched at up to [Control] speed and hit with [Control] strength, or be detonated with kai. Upon impact or detonation the sphere will burst, exploding and causing a damage area only 2x2x2 meters. The resulting explosion will sound like a chorus of small explosions, able to be heard up to [Control]x3 meters away.

Temple of the Abyss
S-Ranked Warp Genjutsu
This is a technique that allows the user to affect a large body of people. After performing the needed hand seals, Kotaru performs Burst; anyone who hears the resulting sound will fall under the genjutsu. Once the genjutsu is activated, the targets will see a dark fog on the ground that slowly swirls upward for three posts. Due to the nature of the technique, if a target realizes this is a genjutsu they only need a Willpower stat of 25 to break out of it. Otherwise, the targets will fall into a state of unconsciousness at the end of the third post.

~Basic Formation: Eroshiin
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Channeling chakra to their shiin, they cause it to inflate, fully forming into its full glory. Taking the form of wings, they are incapable of flight on their own, however are very aerodynamic, allowing for the user to slowly float down, based on their prerequisite taijutsu. The Eroshiin has a strength equal to 3/4ths the user's strength.

--------------------
Trained Ears
B-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Perception] Concentration
Kotaru’s sharp senses allow him to pick up on slight sounds within a 40 meter radius of himself. This can range from the sound of a weapon being drawn, a projectile in flight or subtle footsteps and sounds of light breathing. In terms of eavesdropping he can discern a conversation at such a range as if he were standing next to the person whom is speaking.

[Echolocation]
S-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
The user has learned how to utilize sound to provide them with a form of sight. Mimicking the echolocation of animals such as bats and dolphins, the user has learned how to use coughs, clicks, and other noises they produce to “see.” Each time the user makes a noise, it travels 80 meters and provides them with a mental 3D image of the surrounding area. They can detail size, shape, surface details, and density but cannot see such things as color.

I Am of the Void
S-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Kotaru has completely mastered the art of moving completely silently while using his full speed. Whether walking, making slight or grand maneuvers, or running, he is able to move completely silently even during combat. His opponent needs a specialized [Perception] hearing technique of equal to perceive the sounds of his movements.

When the group arrived in the town, it seemed deserted. Noeru immediately decided to go and take shelter in one of the homes. He made his way to one of the windows and stood as to minimise his silhouette, and hopefully not be seen. He performed a string of hand seals and concentrated on his mokuton chakra, shaping it into the technique which he wanted. He was not sure exactly where the others went but this technique would not affect them in any way. He was going to create five of these contraptions. With a very little known to him about the opponents, it was best to remain hidden, acquire intel, and eventually fight back in the correct way.

A moment later, five constructs would erupt from the ground around the buildings. This was one of Noerus handier jutsu. They were able to track the opponent, or opponents, and fire bursting projectiles in their direction. And it was not long until there was one in sight. To Noerus surprise, this guy had wings and was flying through the air. The five mortars simultaneously fired a projectile towards the flying target. And Noeru realised that he would have to move from his current position to another. And so, he dashed through until he was in another building in the wester direction from his original position. There he would take another defensive position by the window, where he could keep track of what was going on outside.
JutsuShow
Light Artilliery Mokuton, Sensory C-Rank Ninjutsu
This jutsu creates a canon the user can utilise to shoot shells at the target. Thanks to having sensory mechanism imbedded into it, it is able to track the target without the user having to direct it. It is capable of shooting out up to five shells which explode on impact into a 5m diameter burst of splinters. Once the five have been fired, the construct has to be recharged with chakra, however the user does not have to be in contact for this to happen. The jutsu forms at a speed equal to the users [Control], and has the same durability. The shells have a strength and speed equal to the users [Control].

Yozei had been surprised when Konoha had called on him for aid. He had his own responsibilities now, ruling over the people of Dragon’s Breath and Dragon’s Touch; the new Southern Provinces of Fire country. As a Prince, typically his royal duties presided over his obligations as a Jounin of Konoha. But then again he was still the Hokage’s son. When his father had personally asked for his help defending Wind country, Yozei couldn’t refuse the chance to fight alongside his dad. Unfortunately, as it turned out he was deployed elsewhere, fighting instead alongside his long-time friend and comrade from the war; Gerudo Zakuro. He supposed that reunion was reason enough, despite the haunting memories of some of the atrocities they had committed together while leading Fire country samurai in their conquests. Perhaps then, he could atone by helping to defend a land instead of committing genocide.

And so, defend he would. There was no telling who their opponents would be or what their capabilities were. Though he suspected that if it was known where he would be that his old rival, Akari Kotaru would make it a point to seek him out, as he had always done. Such an opponent was daunting and he knew he was still no match for that man. Perhaps only in their first meeting as kids had they ever been each other’s equal. He had briefed Noeru and Zakuro about the possibility of encountering Kotaru and his genjutsu, but that had amounted to little more than the warning to be wary of being caught as a group with sudden sounds or visual distractions. That was why they had made it a point to split up and keep a significant distance between each of them. Noeru was in the town, hidden amongst the buildings some 100 meters from the tower itself, where Yozei peered out a window near the top of the structure. Zakuro would likely draw attention to himself and take the fight to them, which left Yozei to protect the structure.

He glimpsed the figure descending from a distant mountain. “Come and get me, Kotaru” he whispered, smirking with anticipation even as his heart raced and he formed handseals. Closing his eyes he moved away from the window and kept his back against the stone as the ground rumbled from his jutsu. The 15-meter diameter tower would begin to rapidly sink into the earth, the 75-meter-tall structure being swallowed up by the ground at a speed of 40 as suddenly it would be completely sunken underground. Next, he would harden the ground, forming a dome over the tower and the section of lowered earth before similarly hardening the ground around the tower as well. Now, consumed in darkness and with the dense earth to act as a sound barrier, Yozei would be completely isolated from his comrades, but also he would force his opponents to utilize their most powerful techniques to have any hope of damaging the structure let alone destroying it.
Jutsu UsedShow
Doton • Moving Earth Core
B-Rank Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user places their palms on any earthen ground, channeling chakra into it allowing them to lower or raise any 5x5 meter (increased to 15 meters) segments of the ground within 40 meters at [40] speed and strength. The maximum distance the segments can be lowered or raised is 40 (increased to 80) meters. The user must keep their palms on the ground during the course of the jutsu. If they remove their palms at any time, the jutsu will end and they will not be able to raise or lower them any further without redoing the technique.

[Earth Element • Earth Dome Prison]
B-Rank Ninjutsu
After forming a series of hand seals the slams their hand or foot on the ground causing the earth to form at a speed of [30] into a large dome; up to 60m in diameter, 25m high and 10 meters thick. Imbued with chakra throughout the dome and the floor beneath, an opponent cannot simply tunnel their way out with earth-style. So long as the user keeps in contact with the dome, he can supply additional chakra in order to make any necessary repairs. A Strength of [50] is required in order to break out of the dome.

Doton • Harden Earth
C-Rank Ninjutsu
After channelling chakra the user places their palm on the surface of a body of earth, channelling chakra into it and increasing the density of the earth in a 25 meter (increased to 80 meter) radius around whatever they touched. This earth is extra resilient to digging and takes strength stat equal to [50] in order to even dent. Falling on this section of ground without a proper landing could also potentially increase damage.

The climb up to the ridge of the mountain was not what Natsumi had intended to be doing in this war. She had expected to be playing the part of Tatsuo's backup as usual but found herself with Kotaru, no issue there, and some guy from another nation down south who also had an issue with either Fire or Wind. Whatever, the more the merrier. The sparrows flew about them as they had climbed to make sure if any did fall they were there to catch them and place them back. Thankfully, they hadn't been needed for such a task. As they settled into the ridge, Natsumi was constantly channeling chakra and placing seals on the others in the team. Kotaru received the most with a [Directional Seal], [Mind Communion], and [Fight the Power] seal placed upon his body, the last taking up some 90% of his skin after it had been placed. She had marked herself with the [Control Seal] so she could provide aid to the bannin as needed and the [Mind Communion] seal used her as the main conduit. Enzaragi received only the [Mind Communion] seal as as their front liner the [Fight the Power] seal would just be a waste of chakra.

Kotaru channeled his chakra and the bubble for [Burst] took form, a small portion of glowing sparrows flew around his lower body and charged him with their [Negative Charge] as another countermeasure in case his fight became close range instead. Once Kotaru leapt from the ridge, Natsumi directed half of the flock of sparrows to follow from the ledge and stay behind him. She followed behind them at a slower pace, casting small barriers on a downward diagonal angle from the ridge towards the edge of the town.

As Kotaru and the sparrows came in range of the town, five blasts of cannon fire rung out across the area. The sheer sound of the cannons was loud enough to immediately deduce their location and Natsumi directed the flock to fire a hail of [Railgun Feathers] as a smokescreen between the two while she stood past the edge of the town on her floating barrier some 30m above the tree line. Two of the projectiles collided with the feathers and were struck off course while the other three continued towards Kotaru at a breakneck pace. Natsumi wasn't worried; he would either dodge or handle them in some other way. What did surprise her however was the tower sinking into the ground itself. She blinked at the sight in momentary confusion before focusing once more on the town in front of her. So this was going to turn into a brawl first and foremost, it seemed. Hopefully this Enzaragi fellow could prove his worth as she had heard brawling was what he was good at.

The scent of nicotine filled the air around Zakuro as he exhaled some smoke from his cigarette. The armor clad shinobi sat atop the rooftop of a building adjacent to Noeru. He was looking out to his surroundings, vigilantly watching for any signs of a vanguard approaching to take the tower.

Before the fight, he had a brief talk with the two other shinobi that were with him. Yozei had given good intel on an Iwa shinobi by the name of Kotaru, as well as a few simple identifying factors. They might not meet in battle, but the information could be useful. During this discussion, Zakuro went over some strategy with the boys. He would try and take the brunt of their attention, pulling them in to fight, while the others fought from relative safety. They were capable ninja, able to hit hard with ninjutsu, but he feared their endurance wasn't enough.

Zakuro had also warned to be careful during the fighting. They had evacuated the buildings, and ensured no villagers remained, but these were still the homes of hundreds of people. They needed to be careful not to destroy a whole community.

Zakuro saw a few figures atop the ridge line of the nearby mountain. The human silhouette is easily recognizable on a mountain's ridge. These people had no intent on sneaking in. They must be confident in their abilities, prioritizing intelligence over surprise. Zakuro put out his cigarette and adorn the helmet that was resting beside him.

He stood up, watching the group cast jutsu and descend the mountain. There was also a large sphere of chakra in one of their hands. Also wings. Shinji? No. It didn't look the same. It could be one of Iwa's renown Akari. He only knew of two. Tatsuo, and thanks to Yozei, Kotaru. Both of which are elite ninja, perhaps even stronger than Zakuro. It looked like the Akari was searching out the air. No doubt he would very quickly find Zakuro as he was out in the open. The man prepared himself for the resulting attack, but he could do little but wait from an opponent to come in close.

He could feel the piercing gaze at the back of his neck, the gaze was filled with disgust. Much of the same emotion that Enzaragi felt towards Iwagakure a militaristic have that enslaved people and forgot about him left him in the dust to fuel their war machine. But as much as Enzaragi hated the idea of working with Iwagakure as their ideologies regarding slavery differed greatly. Setsuzoku had managed to broker a deal with the Tsuchikage assisting them on this border dispute.

A handsome reward was all a mercenary organization needed in order to be called to action, and as much as he hated it. Damn... Chikara what have you gotten us into? Now was not the time to point fingers. He was rather disappointed he wasn't stationed alongside his friend Chikara. So now his job was to act as a frontline fighter, destroy the tower, defeat the hostile forces and assist Chikara.

Enzaragi did as he was told and covered his ears. Getting the seal, so they could communicate properly before hopping along the barriers that was suspended in the air ready to assist when the time was right. Of course, they can fly, and I have to hope along these barriers. Enzaragi was rather nervous facing unknown combatants, but he was ready in case any attacks would come his way and he could "jump" on the air in case the barriers underneath him were to somehow break.

Enzaragi followed along, ready for an opportunity to attack as the frontline fighter.

As they returned to him, Kotaru's clicks gave him a more detailed view of the area. The bannin received a clear image in his mind of the village, the buildings, and what surrounded them. It didn't take a special technique to see that one enemy stood on top of one of the buildings, completely out in the open. That one was either stupid or confident. Perhaps both. Either way, a target is a target.

Just as Kotaru raised his hand to fire the Burst, the sound of cannons exploded in the area which immediately put the Akari on alert. Five projectiles flew toward him at breakneck speed, quickly closing in. Natsumi's swarm made quick work of two of the projectiles, leaving three to deal with. Kotaru was far enough away that he had time to react by tucking his wings close to his body and falling into a steep, nearly vertical dive. He flew between the two nearest buildings with only moments to spare, the whistling wind from the projectiles whipping his hair violently as they sped by.

Kotaru rolled in midair and flew back above the buildings, turning back toward the position of the lone figure he spotted earlier. He raised his hand and fired his jutsu, and it barreled towards Zakuro and then burst into a chorus of explosions, adding to the symphony of blasts that erupted just moments before.

It was only a brief moment until the mortars fired. He watched the projectiles hurl through the air towards the target, some of the would be intercepted by one of his enemies opponents. The young Senju realised that this would not be as easy as simply firing a couple of exploding projectiles as the first enemy avoided the remaining projectiles. They exploded a moment later but it seemed the opponent was outside of the range and proceeded unscathed.

A gentle sigh escaped his lips. It was time to dial down the power of the mortars, otherwise he would be out of energy very quickly. With a flash of hand seals, the youth converted the power of the mortars to one fifth of their original strength. The speed would remain the same as he figured at this point it was more important to just actually land some damage on any of the enemies. Now it was time for him to pick his enemy. It appeared it was three on three. And after he took a moment to remember his conversation with Yozei, this first enemy to descend from the mountain range was the renown genjutsu user - that was not going to be his enemy.

For a moment he scouted the area until his gazed fixated on the woman who seemed to by flying along some sort of platform, made from the same stuff that was used to intercept the first two projectiles. The Senju decided the he simply had to redeem himself for earlier. This would be his opponent. And with that, the youth waved a sting of hand seals and a moment later mokuton chakra would begin to coat his body, slowly forming into samurai style armour ([50] str & [1] spd). Once it was formed it was time to chase down his opponent and he would dash out of the building on its southern side. And make his way around, close to where his enemy was. Once there, he’d simply wait to see what the woman did.

Yozei exhaled slowly and wiped the back of his hand across his forehead. He was already beginning to sweat lightly, his defenses were powerful, but they came at a high chakra cost even for someone with his near-perfect chakra control. He had some time it seemed to rest now and wait for the enemies to come to him, but he knew better than to underestimate his opponents. He had faced S-ranked shinobi on many occasions before, and knew it was better to err on the side of caution. Perhaps then, one more jutsu and then he could catch his breath and wait. He would perform handeals as he found himself barely able to hear the muffled explosions occurring outside of his earthen barriers. He had no way of knowing how his comrades were faring, but he would have to trust in them and keep himself focused on the singular task of defending the tower. He had been told this structure was key in securing a stronghold in this region, if it fell, they would be forced to retreat and regroup.

But with him here, that was unlikely to happen. His chakra surged as he completed his handseals, emerging from the ground around his dome and hardened earth would be an entity of truly awe-inspiring, colossal proportions. He had designed this jutsu to destroy villages and strike fear into the hearts of any enemy of Fire country. But in this case it would act as an ultimate protector, a humanoid construct that rose well over 100 meters in height, even as it kneeled down over the dome. Its massive legs would form a V formation, completely surrounding the submerged tower. Its arms would move into a fighting stance, aiming to swat the flying Kotaru out of the air with its massive left hand, about 10 meters in diameter, while with its right hand it would attempt to squash Enzaragi like a bug. Its instructions would be simple Defend this location and crush anyone that wasn’t a comrade it they came within its range. It was easy enough to visualize Noeru and Zakuro, both men he was quite familiar with, so too would the titan recognize its allies and allow them to pass by unharmed unless they were to attack it or the tower. Breathing more heavily now, Yozei would sit and attempt to rest, allowing his construct and his comrades to do the bulk of the work from here on out.

Natsumi was quick to cover her ears as Kotaru dove and before he even came up from between the houses. He fired off his [Burst] and the accompanying genjutsu tied to it towards the man on the building top. The noise would ring far and wide throughout the town and buildings; those who hadn't covered their ears would soon begin to see a dark fog roll through the town as the genjutsu started. She could only hope the youth behind her would be smart enough to follow her actions especially after Kotaru's warning on the ridge and also cover his ears otherwise she might be stuck Kai'ing him free of the genjutsu. The portion of the flock she had directed to follow Kotaru broke off from him during his descent to go after each of the stationary cannons. They'd come low from beneath the muzzle of each of them before pushing from below in an attempt to flip each of the five creations right on their backs. Once successful, they'd lap back around to Kotaru to aid him in whatever battle he'd gotten himself into.

Natsumi stood atop her perch at the far end of town from the tower directing the half of the swarm accompanying Kotaru with one arm while scanning the buildings below her for anyone who decided to come meet them head on before being surprised. A massive stone golem spawned from the ground where the tower had previously been and sat on top of it before attempting to strike at Kotaru in the air. Adding onto it, one combatant did come forward and then just stood there patiently waiting. Apparently the genjutsu hadn't taken him out yet or his resolve was just too high for the genjutsu to be effective. She'd leave him to Enzaragi.

She continued to direct the swarm accompanying Kotaru this time towards the stone golem and up the arm it had used to swat at the flying bannin. A surge of chakra was channeled through the starlings as they did so before touching a combination of wings and claws against the arm of the construct to imbue it with [Permanent Negative Charge]. The next time the hulking figure would go to strike at Kotaru, it would find its limbs repelled away the moment it got close. The flock would once more glow with chakra before diving for the ground between the golems legs and infuse the ground itself below it with a [Permanent Negative Charge]. If successful, the golem would be forced upwards into the sky before crashing back down towards the ground where it would be repelled again into the sky then crash down then launch upwards on repeat.

Enzaragi followed alongside his allies, getting closer and closer to being able to join the fight, he saw a massive stone golem that was constructed from one of their opponents attempting to swat away and attack those in the air before it got launched in the air by Natsumi's technique. Looks like this was turning into a proper battle. His nerves were rising both from fear and excitement, hoping that Chikara was doing his part and staying alive.

The scorpion and Iwagakure go on the attack!
phpBB [video]

Enzaragi noticed that Natsumi had left a stray for Enzaragi to take care off, which Enzaragi was happy to take care of now he could some action. Keep yourself alive, Chikara. I'm going in to kick some ass! Enzaragi leaped down towards the ninja, ready to jump on the air in case he would retaliate in any way.

Upon landing, Enzaragi would draw out his Ω blades and rush towards his target, upon getting into range he would attempt to throw both his blades towards his enemy aiming to inflict as much damage in a short time as possible. His first step was to destroy the armor before dealing real damage. First he started with the aim to cut into the armor by throwing both his blades while ignited to make sure it got impaled causing additional damage before pulling the ninja towards him and kicking him in the chest and performing a sweeping maneuver with his chain blades as he would fly away from the impact wrapping around the ankles and yanking it to trip his opponent on to the ground. From there he would use the wrapped chains in-order to swing his own body violently to pull his opponents towards the air, jump up and slam his opponent towards the ground, likely ending this very short-lived fight if any of this were to land in the first place.

If this were to be successful, Enzaragi's instinct was to rush towards the dome or deal with the other two combatants some way. But instead he would wait for what his allies would do, so he could respond accordingly, making it a much more coordinated attack.

Soon after he released his burst, the man began to glow faintly - the telltale sign of chakra channeling. The man standing in the middle of the abandoned town hadn't moved. Kotaru wondered if he was waiting, observing, trying to get a better feel of the flow of the battle before making his move. He didn't plan on giving the man that chance.

As his half of the flock made work of the cannons, the ground rumbled and shook as a gargantuan golem took shape just over the spot where the tower sank into the ground. Kotaru looked on coldly, his scornful expression unchanged even as this new obstacle manifested. It moved its hand in an attempt to swat him, but the bannin flapped his fleshy wings powerfully and tucked his body, barrel rolling midair. The stone construct passed below him, missing him by several feet.

Natsumi truly outdid herself. Her support was superb, and they knew each other well enough that they could coordinate their movements with minimal communication. Thanks to her, the golem likely wouldn't be able to touch him. With that in mind he turned his attention back to the man, still unmoving despite all that was happening around him. As the towering golem struggled with Natusmi's Charge, Kotaru aimed his next attack towards his surprisingly stationary target. He inhaled deeply, and when he exhaled a fiery serpent flew forward, aiming to surround and bind him. As his Snake Trap roared and raged, Kotaru flew into seals, preparing his next jutsu.

He would raze this village and every enemy within it.

The stream can be maintained continuously for up to 7 posts so long as he holds the final seal; during this time, Kotaru can halt the flames and start them back up again at will.

His plan soon ended. His movements were intercepted by another nin. This one wasted no time and went into attack mode right from the moment he was in sight. A rather interesting tactic. Utilising heated blades in a chain to wrap them around the victim. A decent move Noeru thought. It was time for a counter attack. There was only a little bit of time the young Senju had before his armour would perish, and he utilised it wisely. Channeling his chakra throughout his body, he activated a rather basic technique, but one that had saved him many times before, and would save him many times more during his life time.

With a poof of smoke, his body swapped places. What the man would find in Noerus stead was one of the canons the youth created earlier. And Noeru, now with an idea what the man was capable of would begin to concentrate on developing a counter strategy. It seemed that the guy in the air was the main opponent. For a brief moment Noeru wondered whether it was wise for them to split up like that. He doubted his skill was high enough to be able to defeat this man on his own, but the best he could do was buy time for the others to win their own battles.

He turned around. It was time for him to head back. As he did so he began channelling chakra into both his hands. He activated a jutsu with was useful at both ranges, long and short. Another simple jutsu, but it was a jutsu which would deal great damage if connected. With that in place, he dashed at full speed towards where the man was, standing on the side of the building, he fired off one of the bullets at the centre of mass, trying to maximise the chance of the projectile hitting its mark. But as soon as the projector left, the youth would not simply stand there, he dashed away along the roof of the building, jumping down into the alley ways between the houses, constantly turning around to see if the man was following.

Natsumi continued to watch over the battlefield from her post atop the ninjutsu barrier. It was finally time for the platform she was on to disappear and as it started to break down into chakra and float away on the wind, she channeled and cast the technique again. Another small blue barrier formed right below where the previous barrier had floated and she fell the few inches onto the new one.

Meanwhile on the battlefield, Kotaru's [Burst] struck the golden haired youth true. It exploded against him and the building he had been standing on with earth shattering force. The building crumpled under it and the man fell into the hazardous debris below before Kotaru fired off his [Snake Trap] intending to bind and burn the man in place among the rubble while glowing with intent to fire off another jutsu.

Elsewhere, the stone golem had been Magnetized by half of her swarm and was now bouncing throughout the air. Each time the golem would come close to the ground, the similar magnetic charges would stop the golem in mid air before it could do so. Then, the golem flew back upwards and repeated the motion. The starling swarm half responsible for it circled back around past Zakuro and Kotaru's area and towards Enzaragi and Noeru from behind.

Natsumi watched Enzaragi's onslaught from her bird's eye view and was surprised when the Konoha shinobi had the smarts to use a Substitution of one of his cannons. The flipped cannon landed upside down where Noeru had been previously before rotating 180 degrees in his own direction to find the chakra signature of Kotaru it had locked onto earlier and away from Enzaragi. Natsumi watched as the boy glowed fiercely with chakra and directly communicated with Enzaragi's mind through the Fuuinjutsu from earlier.

'He's channeling something with a lot of chakra judging from the intensity of the glow. Coming back in a straight rush. I'm chasing him from behind as well, I don't think he knows it yet.'

The half swarm from earlier caught up with Noeru from behind just as he fired off his first Splinter and begin to furiously strike at his now un-armored body with their powerful wings and talons before he had the chance to dash away between the alleys. Between the genjutsu, the starlings, and Enzaragi, Noeru would be sure to fall soon.

'Shit' Zakuro mumbled as he felt the blast plow into his body. The air left his lungs as smoke and debris filled the air. He gasped, breathing the shit in, causing a sputtering of coughs.

That fucking hurt.

He very quickly tested his body, putting weight on each foot, moving his arms and neck. He was stiff, in pain, and struggled to breathe, but that was it. A broken rib or two was a small price to pay for letting himself get hit. Suddenly the heavy dust and dirt that was slowly settling around him was lit ablaze. The head of a snake lunged towards him, dashing through the air at ridiculous speeds. Zakuro reacted much faster this time, dashing to his left, and bating the snake to follow. He would smash right into the last wall standing of the building, causing it to collapse onto this fiery jutsu.

Seeing how hard that blast hit, this was no novice shinobi. The building collapsing would likely only slow down the beast, but frankly that was all he needed. Once through the wall, Zakuro would jump back up onto the roof tops, and quickly scan for his opponents. He would spot the flier, floating in the sky, readying another set of hand seals. Noeru in the distance, getting assaulted from the front and ambushed from behind, and a ominous black smoke lingering around the landscape.

Zakuro reached into his pouch, grabbing a large handful of throwing knives, and sent two flying towards the snake. He would continue moving quickly towards the direction of Noeru and his assailants while sending his next few throwing knives up into the air. As he threw the next four, he spun his wrist with an intense velocity, one after the other, causing these throwing knives to weave from side to side at the flier's position, while watching his movements to attempt to predict any dodges or other movements as he threw them. Finally, he would attempt to intercept the woman coming at Noeru by turning and running full sprint in-between the two. If he was able to get between them, he would send a barrage of throwing knives at her, bouncing multiple off the rooftops, ground, and other obstacles to try and stop her from back pedaling while he closed in for close quarters combat.

The assault seemed to be successful, his blades logged into the shinobi's armor, but as he pulled him in for the kick he disappeared, replacing himself with a cannon before trying to run away and channel a counter-attack. It was a massive amount of chakra that he could not only 'feel' but also see because of the glow that radiated from the Mokuton Shinobi.

This was a proper fight, the flying missing ninja hunter was firing down upon someone the observing man was currently fighting now and would try to intercept Natsumi's mutual assault.

Enzaragi received a comms warning him from a potential attack, which he had already spotted, but a heads-up did help him in timing how they would proceed with their attack.

'Yeah I can tell with my eye' Lets pincer 'em. He ain't walking a while after this one! Enzaragi responded a bit sinisterly, adrenaline was pumping fear and excitement. His focus was dialed in and him anticipating the massive surge in chakra and Natsumi's communication made him dodge the splinter with ease if the swarm caught Noeru from behind then Enzaragi would move in with a dual spinning sweep Iaido slice towards the legs. Hacking each of cleanly if it landed square this time, making sure to put him out of commission, hopefully he would survive, but this was war, Enzaragi couldn't take many chances but shinobi were resilient he would live.

If he landed this blow, Enzaragi would direct his attention towards assisting Natsumi's swarm by sheathing his swords and jumping over Noeru and attempting to Slash Zakuro across the face as he flipped over the swarm. If Zakuro were to react or try to attempt to swat Enzaragi out of the air, then Enzaragi would be ready to not follow through on his attack and jump on the air thus canceling his attack and jumping to safety landing behind the swarm whilst also readying himself for any potential retaliation ready to dodge or block if needed.

This Discipline reduces the gap of time between a practitioner recognizing a potential opening for attack and launching the attack to exploit said opening to almost nil.

Iaido • DEM LEGS Aimed towards Noeru's legs below the knee shin area.
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 20 speed
An Iaido attack aims to slice off the legs of their opponent. When Enzaragi gets close enough. Enzaragi sends out a quick snap of tension and torque through his body, then doing a little crouching spin to slash through his opponent's legs. He then stands up and quickly sheathes his blades. Opponents will not see the slash unless they have a speed equal to or greater than a half of Enzaragi's Speed stat.

Iaido • Helmet splitter Aimed at Zakuro's face
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite:Acrobatics 20 speed
A different type of Iaido that Enzaragi made himself. Enzaragi rushes at his opponent's telegraphing with a purpose to catch people by surprise. When he gets close enough, He forces a very quick snap of tension and torque through his arms and legs. But instead of drawing and slashing. He draws then Side flips over the opponent/s head aiming to split their head open. This technique is less powerful due to him not being on the ground, but it can still deal with High damage with enough power.

Prepared jutsu: Double jump! Ready to hop on the air in case Zakuro were to react to try to attack Enzaragi in any way
B-rank Taijutsu maneuver
Prereqs: Heavenly body
After Enzaragi has jumped, he can actually jump again in the air, allowing him to gain more height or avoid attacks. He can jump with full speed, distance, height, and efficiency midair. He can do this up to 6 times because it can be taxing on his stamina. This technique can be done in any direction as is not restricted to only vertical movement.

The blond Konoha shinobi dodged to his left, coaxing the fiery serpent to follow him. The beast opened its mouth, hissing with the deafening sound of roaring, swirling flames. It followed the shinobi, leaving a trail of burning debris in its wake. Just as it was closing in, the enemy shinobi smashed into the wall, sending the entire face of the building crashing down on top of it.

Rubble fell for several seconds, eventually coming to rest in a smoldering heap. But mere seconds later, the fire serpent burst from the bottom of the ruined building, sending flaming debris flying outward in all directions. Chunks of burning brick and wood crashed into surrounding buildings, setting them on fire as well within minutes.

Meanwhile, still perched above, Kotaru completed his long set of hand seals, his hands still holding the final seal. The bannin watched as the katon snake erupted from the ruined building and immediately turned toward the enemy to continue its attack. The Konoha nin threw two kunai at the beast. Intitially Kotaru thought it would do little against the flaming snake but the first strike hit its belly hard and, surprisingly, the snake reared back from the force of the blow. The second hit, equally as powerful, disrupted the jutsu completely, and the snake bubbled and sizzled at the point of impact. Kotaru sucked his teeth, knowing the jutsu was only moments away from falling apart. It was a small consolation to watch the two kunai burn up completely as the snake condensed into an enormous ball of fire and then explode, sending countless small flames flying. The flames landed haphazardly over an area just over a hundred and fifty meters from where the snake once stood.

Kotaru smirked, and a low, staccato chuckle sounded in his throat. Thanks to the path the snake took as it chased the blond shinobi, several buildings of the village were already on fire and slowly covering the village with black smoke. And now with its explosive destruction it wouldn’t take long for every one of the forty-seven buildings to be in flames. His green eyes found the blond shinobi as he started to make a mad dash toward his ally. Then, in a fluid motion, the man quickly unleashed four kunai. Still holding the final handseal, he flexed his eroshiin - his wings - and started moving evasively. He dived a few meters then dodged to his right, then his left. There was enough distance between Kotaru and his opponent that he had room to dodge, but the weapons moved at such a velocity that each of the four kunai flying towards him was a close call. One of them managed to slice the tip of his left wing, making him wince, but it was far from a debilitating wound.

He kept his eyes on the blond shinobi as best as he could when he went into a full on sprint towards Natsumi's swarm and the other Konoha shinobi. Kotaru flew forward and up so he was just under a hundred meters behind the man. And then the Akari inhaled, his chest growing hotter, and then he exhaled a powerful stream of flames directly into the blond shinobi’s path. The katon quickly expanded, becoming several dozen meters wide to separate him from his ally and Enzaragi.

Jutsu UsedShow
Watching Closely
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Perception] concentration
Possessing immense battle sense and perception, Kotaru is aware of even the most subtle details around him, to a point where he can even pick up on the slightest tension changes in an opponent’s body allowing him predict their movement before it is complete or even read what someone is writing by the way their pencil moves. At times his eyes seem to move on their own will, rapidly tracking an amount of movements equal to his [Speed]/2.

Muscle Control
A-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Kotaru has mastered moving his body in such a way that he is able to control the way his muscles tense and the way his body is positioned. Unless the opponent has a perception technique of equal or greater rank, Kotaru will not seem to telegraph his movements at all, and they will find it near impossible to predict him based on his muscle movements and body positioning alone.

Finished from last post:
Dragon's Breath
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the necessary hand seals, Kotaru takes a deep breath and expels a large stream of flames from his mouth. The stream moves at speed up to [Control] and can hit with [Control] strength. It can reach up to 100 meters long, and is thin for up to 5 meters immediately in front of him before expanding up to 70 meters wide. Due to Kotaru’s impeccable chakra control, he can alter the size of the stream at creation and at any time thereafter. The stream can be maintained continuously for up to 7 posts so long as he holds the final seal; during this time, Kotaru can halt the flames and start them back up again at will.

The Senju stood in place as he began activating his technique, but soon he realised that his chakra reserves had ran too low for him to be able to carry out the technique. Realising he had over done himself the youth had to think quickly on his feet. With the noisy swarm of birds approaching from behind and the shinobi coming at him head on his options were limited. The armour would most likely offer him some defence for a while but he did not know exactly how strong the birds were and how much damage they could do to him. He decided to ignore them. Fighting a swarm with such little chakra would not get him anywhere, instead his focus landed on the shinobi coming for him. His sword was still intact, although he was not much of a close range combatant. His weight shifted a little to allow him to place all his weight behind the swing. And when the opponent approached with his own attack, Noeru would slash at his face, aiming to essentially cut it half. If he was going down he was going to make sure he would leave his comrades in the best possible situation, even if it was futile considering his skills at close range.

After carrying out his move, regardless of what happened, he would begin falling unconscious. Not sure what it was that was affecting him. but he would find himself falling to the ground. With so little chakra he was worn out, even if he had realised it was the genjutsu affecting him it was unlikely he would have enough in reserve to actually break out of it. Especially under the circumstances he was in right now.

Yozei took his time underground, standing atop the buried tower. He was able to effectively catch his breath and recover some of his chakra, enough that he felt like he still had over 80% of his reserves. He was surprised that he hadn’t detected any sign of anyone trying to break through the dome above him or the hardened earth surrounding it, including underground. Perhaps his defenses had been too strong and the enemy had instead focused on defeating his allies first. That could be a problem. Zakuro was a close friend and mentor and Noeru was a talented younger boy that he had learned had become friends with his younger brother Takeshi. He wouldn’t be able to shoulder the guilt if either of them died while he was hiding away underground, even if it was their plan for him to prioritize the mission objective of defending the tower. There didn’t seem to be any danger to the tower so he was free to emerge and assist his allies.

Utilizing his Terrakinesis with his chakra rich dome above him he maneuvered his arms, creating a small opening above him which he leaped up toward before closing it beneath him. He was surprised to find it so dark out and then suddenly realized his stone giant was nowhere in sight. His instincts urged him to look up and sure enough the massive creation was being flung high above him. As it began to fall he grounded his stance, waiting for it to come within range of his control before straining himself to redirect its path at least 50 meters behind the dome toward the open field. He moved his foot and arms in unison and focused more on redirecting the massive construct than slowing it completely, letting it crash into the ground but still manage to get its feet under it and remain intact. He wasn’t sure what kind of jutsu could have sent it flying in the air and didn’t see any opponents in the immediate area. The town was in flames and a massive jet of flame steaked through the village. His training allowed him to easily see through the fire and smoke, noticing his comrades in danger.

The Titan would stabilize itself and remain in defense of the area, ready to swat any incoming attacks out of the air with its massive palms. The red-haired Jounin furrowed his brow, “You guys better hang in there” he said to himself as he formed hand seals. He was able to make out a swarm of birds and the ongoing fighting about 100 meters away. That was a bit on the edge of his range for his liking so he would leap to the base of his dome, now about 85 meters away as he finished forming his hand seals. He knew his comrades were in trouble between the fire, the birds and the enemy shinobi but he would attempt to at least save Noeru, causing a tunnel beneath the ground to form between them and then a large Dragons head to rise up out of the ground, mouth open beneath Noeru, attempting to swallow him up to protect him. He had seen Zakuro running toward the Senju, “Get in!” he shouted as loud as he could, and if Zakuro was close enough to Noeru he would direct the Dragons maw to maneuver toward him and swallow him up as well before closing shut and sealing them in with 50 Strength. The maw moved with a full 50 Speed, hopefully being enough to capture his allies safely before clenching its jaw shut around Enzaragi, attempting to bite him in half.
Jutsu UsedShow

Having achieved notable mastery over Doton, the user is capable of shaping, directing, and manipulating existing bodies of the element without the need of hand seals or an existing technique. The range at which the user can manipulate the element is equal to the user's control times 2 metres. While the user can freely manipulate this element, they cannot produce the element naturally.

Honō no Kokyū • Eyes of Fire
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After years of training and study, the practitioner has significantly increased their visual acuity. The practitioner can now accurately see out to a number of meters equal to their Taijutsu score in foggy, misty, or cloudy conditions (such as while in the effect of a smoke bomb), at night or other low light vision, or through the natural distortions caused by the heat emanating from flames, fire, and mirages. The practitioner's range of sight is doubled in normal or favorable conditions.

Doton • Dragon’s Maw (+60 meters= 105 meter range)—attempting to swallow up Noeru and Zakuro and close them inside
B-rank Ninjutsu
Yozei will form hand seals or channel chakra into the ground, causing a large Dragon’s head made of stone to rise up from the ground within 45 meters of him a speed of [50]. The mouth acts as a tunnel into the ground, allowing the user to redirect large projectiles in the ground through its up to 70 meter long ‘throat’, or come up below an opponent, biting its mouth closed to trap them. The head itself is 10 meters long 5m wide and 3m tall. The stone head itself impacts, bites and traps with a strength of [50], the tunnel structure also containing the same strength.

Knives bounced around the area encompassing Noeru and her swarm thrown by the blonde Konoha shinobi. Five of the knives had struck some birds but not enough to put more than a dent in the furious mass of beaks and wings while others had come dangerously close to the boy. Meanwhile, a smirk overcame Natsumi's face as she watched the young Konoha shinobi slump over while attempting to slash at Enzaragi. Finally, Kotaru's genjutsu seemed to work. Rather than continue to strike at the boy as he fell limp, her starlings swirled around and under him before lifting him up and away from the about-to-clash duo of Zakuro and Enzaragi right before the maws of a dragon made of earth appeared in an attempt to swallow the boy. The swarm of birds brought the boy to the canopy of the trees below her and placed him upright against the thick trunk. Here, he'd be safe and away from the fighting. Well, unless someone targeted her with an area of effect jutsu. She had no intention of killing the boy but he was still an enemy and a hostage was better than no hostage.

Kotaru's fire barreled down the hall containing Zakuro, the dragon head, and Enzaragi as the dragons maw erupted from the ground and washed over them all. Unsure of how it had caught Enzaragi and Zakuro, it was, however, plain to see how the fire had washed over the dragons head and melted it from behind.

'Destroy the rest of the head!' Natsumi mentally called out to them through the fuuinjutsu link as the partially-there dragons head tried to bite Enzaragi in half with its massive, powerful jaws.

So, the third team mate had finally shown himself. Across the village and perched atop the dome of Doton, a young man with hair reminiscent of Tatsuos stood in defiance with the stone titan no longer bouncing but now guarding the previous spot albeit from a different, more backed up position. If it tried to move back to the same spot it had been bounced from, it would find it impossible to do so without being repelled from the same-forces interacting. The best part? He was no longer under ground and Kotaru could use his most effective asset: genjutsu. The previous one had been unable to penetrate through the thick earth but now that he was out in the open it was a night and day difference.

'You're on point against the red headed bastard, Kota. Watch for the golem and keep in mind I can help you through the [Control Seal] too. Enzaragi and I can deal with the blonde if he isn't already finished from the genjutsu and the flames.' Natsumi once more told the pair as the swarm of starlings swirled and chirped around her as she kept her eyes peeled for any signs of Zakuro on the ground below.

Suddenly, a wave of fatigue hit Zakuro like a train. He felt sluggish and more tired than he ever felt. Either he was hit with some sort of poison strong enough that even he couldn't endure, or this was the effects of a Genjutsu, the more likely option. He fought the urge to pass out, but he could tell it was only a matter of moments before he could succumb. He could hear Yozei shouting distantly. He barely believed it to be real. "Get in!" he heard. Turning his head, Zakuro saw the head of a dragon, open mouthed and racing toward him. To his left he noticed fire begin to pour out from the flying shinobi.

Zakuro turned back towards Enzaragi and Noeru. Noeru was being airlifted away by the enemy. It pained Zakuro, but there was nothing he could do now. Enzaragi, however, was now completely in the open. With whatever strength he could muster, Zakuro pulled out handfuls of throwing knives and started throwing them at Enzaragi at lightning speeds. Even in a dazed, nearly fainting state, Zakuro's arm could muster incredible feats of strength and speed. He lacked the dexterity to utilize any special techniques into his throws, but a swarm of 33 throwing knives flew towards Enzaragi in quick succession. While throwing his knives, Zakuro could hear the dragon head approaching. He began to walk backwards towards it, ducking down into it's mouth. As the head closed shut, he threw one more knife behind him, hardly aiming, but putting everything he had into the throw in the direction of Natsumi and the building below her feet. He hoped he could partially collapse it and slow her down enough to give Yozei a fighting chance. In the darkness of the skull, Zakuro's eyes shut. He did what he could with what little time he had left. Putting pressure on his opponents and potential harming the taijutsu user was more important in Zakuro's mind than using the energy and time to warn Yozei that he was being put under. Hopefully he'd be woken up soon.

It seemed as though everything was going according to plan the heads-up and the ANBU ninja's charging allowed Enzarargi to dodge the splinter effortlessly it whistled in the air passed him and as he closed in the distance for the kill the ninja tried to attack back against Enzaragi which was futile. Not only because of how weak it was but also because of how much faster and skilled Enzaragi was blocking it effortlessly but instead of following through with cutting the ninja known was Noeru he simply blocked the move as he fell asleep and followed through with his plan.

Jumping over the ninja and slashing the bannin across the eye before sliding back and using his chains to rapidly create a field of blades 10 meters from his body blocking as many of the projectiles as he was able to as he ran in order to minimize the damage as much by changing position and catching and burning the projectiles with his blades. The man was then swallowed whole by the dragon before getting targeted by it as it barreled towards him with immense speed. Enzaragi rushed for the sides narrowly avoiding it chomping down on him before Kotaru's fire stream smashed into the Doton dragon damaging it. As the voice called out to him Enzaragi knew what to do. 'I got it I'm hitting it with a dragon of my own!' He quickly answered back as the mercenary took advantage of his scarily close position to the dragon range. Performing his rising dragon fist technique aimed under its jaw as it tried to escape hopefully destroying it before making his way towards the man on the dome as Zakuro had passed out inside its maw.

If the two attacks proved strong enough to destroy the stone dragon. Enzaragi would proceed with the mission at hand and run towards the dome which was where the tower was buried. Getting ever closer to finishing this mission if it all went smoothly allowing him to rotate and assist his partner in crime. If allowed or ordered to. But right now he didn't have the time to think like that it was time to focus up things were getting more and more dangerous and that dragon that nearly chomped him in two was proof of that.

Against an advancing target, the user quickly draws their sword horizontally, stopping the blade mid-draw in front of them. Then, placing their hand on the sword's hilt, they push forward. As the attack collides with the moving target, the technique's power will turn the opponent's own inertia against them, amplifying the damage.

Everything in a 360° bubble around Enzaragi extending as far as his blades and chains allow for will be burned and shredded if they were to enter its range including projectiles such as arrows kunai and even ninjutsu. The sheer speed of his and the chains movement require an equal amount of speed to Enzaragi in order to be perceived and equal amout to predict the chains and blades exact location.

Rain nor Mre accounted for Kao's Katon fired in the previous round.

They're aimed in the path of Zakuro to cut him off from saving Noeru per Kao's post not near Noeru or Enzaragi. The Katon isn't aimed at the dragons head as it wasn't even cast yet when Kao targeted and fired the Katon the previous post.

Rain's post doesn't address the flames cutting Zakuro off at all. It has the dragon head appearing before the flames arrive when the flames were past the point of cast and already generated before the dragon head was even cast for. Yozei notices the flames already streaking through the town then casts his Doton. Enzaragi is cutting Noeru's armor and then flipping into the area as the flames aim to cut off Zak.

So flames impact cutting off Zak and ahead of Enzaragi with Doton behind Zak. Flames would bathe the area before Zakuro even goes to throw his projectiles.

Going forward:

Zakuro: Flames hit and burn Zakuro as he moves forward to engage with Enzaragi before he moves into dragons mouth and falls unconscious due to genjutsu

Enzaragi: Flames hit, burn, and blow Enzaragi off into the forest before Zakuro even releases his projectiles

For a few moments confusion gripped the shinobi below. Kotaru watched with interest, fire still streaming from his mouth, as enemy and ally alike struggled with seemingly no regard for the inferno raining down on them. He reveled in the sight of the blond man becoming burned, and despite the fact that they were allies for now, Kotaru took great pleasure in seeing Enza jump foolishly into the roaring flames. Somehow Enzaragi blundered spectacularly enough that he was sent flying into the surrounding forest. The Akari briefly glanced at the missing nin as he rocketed away, and he rolled his eyes in exasperation before turning his attention back to the task at hand.

The blond, it seemed, had been rescued at a fortuitous moment. Kotaru squinted at sight of the stone dragon engulfing the man, allowing the flames to engulf the dragon's head to see how resistant it was to the intense heat. But as fun as the prospect of roasting him alive was, someone much more interesting emerged from the earth and Kotaru halted the stream. The shock of red hair and defiant countenance was a familiar and welcome sight. The Iwagakure bannin grinned wickedly and burst into a cruel cackle, small flames escaping the corners of his mouth, as his rival since childhood finally revealed himself.

"YOOOOOOZEEEEEEI!!!"

In an instant, Kotaru sent a shock of chakra to the small of his back, and the eight tentacles of his melashiin bloomed behind him. They spread out behind him, fanlike, and undulated threateningly as the bannin started a new set of seals, flying through them with blinding speed. Few things could rile up Kotaru. The thought of facing Yozei after so many years sent a shockwave of adrenaline and excitement to the very tips of his fingers, and as he finished the set of seals he began to cackle once more.

Now it was time to have a little fun.

Yozei watched as his stone Dragon seemed to arrive nearly too late. Noeru was whisked away and Zakuro seemed to bathed in flames for a brief moment before retreating back into the safety of the Doton tunnel as the mouth closed shut. The other combatant had taken a worse flame lashing at least and was sent still smoldering and flung toward the forest. It seemed likely that both he and Zakuro would be out of the fight which left Yozei alone to fight against two remaining Iwagakure shinobi. One lone Jounin against two Bannin level opponents. It was a futile match, but retreat was not an option. He wouldn’t abandon his comrades. Instead, he would fight with everything he had.

He had already suspected that the winged, fire-breathing man might be Kotaru, his lifelong rival. The two seemed fated to meet each other and whenever there were international events or situations in which Iwagakure and Konohagakure converged he felt as if there was some otherworldly pull that brought the two together. Forming handseals, Yozei would create a thin aura of Katon chakra around himself before forming another set of seals as the observed the Bannin flying toward him. The ground around him would be further saturated with chakra, already brimming with Doton chakra, now traces of Youton would spread throughout it, ready to activate if the winged man were to set foot and engage Yozei in close quarters. It was only at this point that he heard the man scream his name.

Despite the danger, to himself and his allies, Yozei felt his body surging with exhilaration. It felt like he had been preparing his entire life for this moment. Despite having always fallen short to Kotaru in the past, Yozei felt as if he was strong enough now to at least put up a fight. He had held his own in a match against the previous Kazekage at the age of 16, fended off the Mizukage in Soul country and sparred with multiple Konoha Bannin on numerous occasions. His prodigious chakra control and natural talents with Katon and Doton had managed to get him through many dire situations in the past. But he knew in his heart that this was a poor match up for him, where Yozei had always felt his Katon was superior to Kotaru’s, his rival was a Genjutsu specialist in truth and had always been able to utilize that decisive advantage. In equal parts stubbornness, laziness and simply a lack of aptitude, Yozei had never developed effective means of combating mental manipulation. Perhaps now he would finally suffer for his hubris, but he still naively believed he had a chance.

The Prince stood defiantly in front of the stone dome that covered the tower Behind the dome, the enormous titan construct took two steps forward, leaning forward slightly as its massive arms surrounded the dome and prepared to bat Kotaru out of the air as he approached. The left hand was still imbued with the jutsu that would cause the attack to repel but the right would be able to strike true. And it would aim to slap Kotaru straight into the ground at 40 Speed and 50 Strength as soon as he came within 20 meters of the dome, utilizing its roughly 80 meter long reach. It would continue to alternate hands and be unrelenting in attempting to swat the man out of the air and smack him into the ground at every opportunity. “KOTARU!” Yozei bellowed back as his left hand surged with chakra, forming a layer of Youton, before his right hand followed in kind being surrounded in an aura of Sankaton. It was only then that the powerful genjutsu would be initiated. Immediately Yozei was struck with fear, paralyzed in place. But before the full effects could even set in, Yozei’s consciousness slipped away. His defense mechanism had been activated and the spirit of the Dark Prince that had latched onto his soul had awakened.

Glowing cracks split through his skin while the rest of his skin darkened and his eyes became alit with flames. From his left arm a black chain of solid chakra emerged, wrapped around as if protruding from his flesh itself, at the tip of the chain was a large spear tip. Whereas Yozei had been effected by the genjutsu, the Dark Prince was an entirely separate consciousness that laid dormant within him until awakened by extreme stress. This being cared not for Kotaru or Yozei’s allies and its only interests were in self-preservation and domination of others in its pursuit of power. “Ah, Kotaru” it growled, recalling the man from when he was a teenager. It had been one of the first times the being had manifested from Yozei after possessing him during Sunagakure’s spirit outbreak. Possessing the same abilities as Yozei, it would begin to channel Sankaton chakra into the tip of its chain weapon, attempting to impale the man if he managed to get within 30 meters and past the Stone giants defenses. Wherever Kotaru dodged to, so long as he was within range the 50 Speed and 50 Strength chain would follow him, directly controlled by the will of the Dark Prince as he attempted to kill his opponent and remove any threats to his own existence.
Jutsu UsedShow
Katon • Ripple
C-Rank Ninjutsu
By channeling katon chakra into their body, the user can store this charged katon chakra for up to 5 posts before releasing a burst of flame around their entire body, coming outwards from them. This sphere of roiling fire pushes outward with Strength and Speed equal to the user’s control. the flames extend up to 25 meter from the user at their discretion, able to be reduced to a shorter range to conserve chakra. Due to the fire pushing outward the user remains unharmed.

Youton • Molten Minefield
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user will tap their foot on the ground charging an area up to a 25-meter radius around their foot with explosive chakra at a Speed of [Control]. For the next five posts if anyone other than the user steps within the area [Control] Strength explosions of lava with detonate, blasting upward in cone and spewing chunks of rock and lava within a 10-meter radius. The many globs of lava will burn for 4 posts before hardening.

Youton • Melting Touch
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Channelling chakra into their hand the user will coat their hand(s) in a protective chakra before enveloping it in youton. Anything the user touches over the next 4 posts will have the melting passive applied to it, weakening any physical substance by ¼ of the users [Control] and similarly inflicting burns equal to strength of control. After three posts the coating will harden and become brittle, crumbling away.

[Deadly Touch]
D-Ranked Sankaton Ninjutsu
The user will channel chakra, causing Sankaton to form around one of their hands. The next time their hand comes in contact with something, the Sankaton will spread through it, causing burns on contact, and eroding up to 0.5 meters of material with [Control] Strength. This jutsu can be risky as it's possible for the user to accidentally touch themselves with the Sankaton.

[Annihilation: Depth Charge]
C-Ranked Sankaton Ninjutsu
Rather than use a normal method of volume eating, this jutsu uses another method of Annihilation Sankaton chakra. Channelling chakra, the user coats a small weapon in Sankaton chakra. Whenever this projectile/piercing tip hits something, it immediately erodes the material in front of it, boring holes up to 1 meter in depth in front of the weapon, and eroding/weakening structures by [Control} Strength.

Ability Used:
The Dark Prince
While hunting Spirits during the Sunagakure outbreak Yozei was unknowingly cursed by an ancient spirit, part of its chakra merging with his own and laying dormant within him for over a year. Either at will or whenever Yozei finds himself in a critical situation, suffering extreme injury, stress or emotional turmoil this chakra will consume him causing his skin to darken as his skin seems to crack, these lines glowing with the appearance of flames as his eyes too glow like flames. His chakra color will change to black with a red outline which undulates like flames. When entering this form Yozei loses 5 Endurance for the duration of the thread, not to be stacked if he was to enter the form more than once. This grants him Regeneration based on his control. Additionally, he will be able to manifest a long bladed chain composed of dense black chakra with the same red outer aura. This chain can manifest from either one of his arms, wrapping around his forearm and able to extend up to 25 meters in length. At the tip of the chain is a pointed blade 8 inches in length. The durability, Strength and Speed of this chain is equal to Yozei’s control, capable of manipulating the chain with his chakra. While in this form Yozei will lose access the the [Sword Weapons] Concentration and instead be able to utilize techniques requiring the [Chain Weapons] Concentration, able to perform taijutsu with this weapon while utilizing chakra to manipulate it. Yozei can remain in this form for a maximum of 8 posts after which there is a 2 post cooldown before he can enter it again. While in this form Yozei’s personality shifts, removing any sense of emotional attachment or empathy as his actions become more ruthless and detached in nature.

The area below her was empty, besides the flames. They licked at the houses and at the trees ringing the area. Although Kotaru had stopped them, if they were left unattended they'd burn the spent and slept boy to death. Whatever had happened to the blonde, he wasn't on the ground and wasn't moving. Enzaragi had been blasted off from the force of the impact towards the imposing titan standing guard. Hopefully the boy would be able to hold his own against it. She began to channel chakra as Kotaru hovered in one spot in mid air and spoke to the figure guarding the tower.

Sometimes he talked too much.

The titan reached out towards him in an attempt to strike and a chain flew towards him. Even if the bannin went to dodge, Natsumi would release her [Space Time: Dominion] from the [Control Seal] she had placed and chakra would ripple through the air. The un-magnetized hand of the titan and the incoming chain would be frozen in place as the space-time chakra affected the world surrounding the two shinobi. Once it was released, she would once more begin to channel her chakra.

'I'm taking this kid into my realm, the fires are getting a bit too hot. If you need assistance, you need to let me know. I won't have vision on either of you.'

The chakra Natsumi had been channeling was used to rip open a portal the woman took herself and Noeru through. The boy was a mess. Not only was his chakra spent and chakra exhaustion wracked his body but he had fallen victim to Kotaru's genjutsu as well. Dragging the boy behind her, as she continued to channel chakra, through the halls of her Hospital Realm, Natsumi lifted him onto a surgery table within one of the operating rooms.

The woman wasted no time and skipped making sure everything was clean or she had assistants. Her entire ploy with saving the boy was to use him as a hostage or kidnap him due to the very obvious Mokuton jutsu he had used. Seeing as the fires had prevented her from just taking him with her, this would be ner next option.

Her hands each glowed green with chakra as she picked up a scalpel and flipped the boy over. Natsumi's left hand went to the boys head and applied the anesthesia; with his reserves at zero there'd be little hope for the boy to even muster the chakra to attempt to fight it off. Her right hand, holding the scalpel, made an incision above the boys right kidney before placing it down and letting the Chakra Scalpel do the rest.

The blond woman worked her hand into the boy's body and sliced free his kidney. She stopped the bleeding once it was out and quickly stitched him up but it wasn't her best work. It'd have to do. She took the kidney she had removed from the shinobi and placed it into an iced storage container for later use. Natsumi already had the perfect candidate in mind for it.

Now, how were they faring outside.

Her hands still bloody as she had forgone to even glove up, Natsumi channeled chakra once more before grabbing the boy and ripping open an exit portal back to the battlesite. Flames continued to rage below her in the field and through the forest. Natsumi directed the starlings to drop the poor off on the roof of the nearest, not-on-fire house before once more directing her attention to the boys.

Just how had Kotaru faced against the red head and Enzaragi against the stone behemoth he had been thrown at?
SpoilerShow
Open Space: Seeking Truth
A-rank Jikukan Ninjutsu
The user channel the needed chakra, then reach out into the air in front of them and physically grab “space” pulling apart their two hands to tear apart Space right in front of them up to 3x3 meters. This tear is new, and will cause the universe to self correct and make a personal realm for the user. This technique is required for the user to have any techniques that involve the use of a personal realm. This technique can only be used once to create a personal realm, but can be used repeatedly in order to enter that realm. An Architect using this technique within their realm will merit no reaction, while using it within someone else’s realm will allow the user to enter their own. Specifics on the Realm can be found within the Jikukan spoiler.

[Expand Time: Cease and Desist] - Realm has this applied
A-rank Augment Fuuinjutsu
The user has inscribed fuuinjutsu along the edges of their personal realm and infused them with their Jikukan chakra. This technique once activated creates a formation across the sky of the entire realm. This formation slows down time within the personal realm and in turn slows down the rate at which the realm consumes chakra when someone is within the realm with its creator. This drops the CP drain down to one [1] stamina per post per person.

[Close Space - Dominion]
A-Rank Jikukan Ninjutsu
Prerequisite:
The user will channel the required amount of chakra before releasing it into an area of 100m. The user will be able to close space around any object or projectile within this area for 5 posts at [Control] Strength. They may regain their momentum and continue on if moved with a higher [Strength] than they were closed with or at the end of 5 posts.

Forcefully Putting Under
A-rank Iijutsu
Prerequisite: Putting Under Technique
After forming the necessary hand seals and focusing chakra on a willing patient, the user is able to heavily sedate them. This sedation technique is used to perform deeply invasive surgeries on patients, preventing them from moving while under and also keeping them deeply asleep. This technique lasts for up to ten posts, and must be reinforced on the eighth post after performing this technique, or else the patient will wake up at the end of the tenth post. If a patient wakes up during the procedure, they will find themselves, depending on their personality, mentally scarred from the intense amount of pain the surgery causes, and their vitals will go insane while they are awake, markedly hard to control. Depending on the surgery and the patient's reaction, the stress could cause death. Note that this jutsu requires steady focus and proper supplementation of chakra to perform. Unwilling patients require greater or equal Control than the user's Control to fight off the sedation.

*Clamp Technique
D-Ranked Iijutsu
While performing surgery or other types of healing jutsu, the user is able to use his chakra as a makeshift clamp to close off blood vessels which have been cut and prevent further blood loss. Lasts three posts.

*Delicate Hands
D-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: Arts of Medicine Concentration
A simple medical jutsu, the user is able to handle things with great care, minimizing the risk of bruising or tissue damage, and also of breaking a delicate object they may be holding. More a passive manner of holding things than an actual jutsu, this technique requires no chakra to use, but by utilizing it, one may handle with even greater care.

*Careful Cut
C-Ranked Iijutsu
Pre-requisite: Chakra Scalpel; 30 Control
While Chakra scalpel is in use, the user is able to precisely control his/her chakra in order to make cuts in patients exactly where they need to be made. This allows the user to separate soft tissues with a brief touch, and, in the case of surgery, allows the user to cut only what needs to be cut, in exactly the way it needs to be cut, ensuring that the user may remove, heal, or focus on only the tissue in question.

*Tissue preservation
B-Ranked Iijutsu
After forming the needed hand seals, the user is able to place a large amount of chakra into a given organ, removed from a fallen shinobi. With this chakra, the cells of the organ will be kept alive for an extended period of time. The user will load it with chakra every day, until the organ in question is implanted. Because of this, until the implantation is complete, the user dedicates one point of stamina to this technique, loading the organ with chakra at the start of every day until the implantation procedure. This may also be used to prevent necrosis in live patients.

*Organ Removal
B-Ranked Iijutsu
Prerequisite: Careful Cut
A more complex move, the user is able to coat an organ of their choice in chakra, while surgical efforts a made near or on the organ, the chakra will prevent damage to it, allowing preservation.

Open Space: Seeking Truth
A-rank Jikukan Ninjutsu
The user channel the needed chakra, then reach out into the air in front of them and physically grab “space” pulling apart their two hands to tear apart Space right in front of them up to 3x3 meters. This tear is new, and will cause the universe to self correct and make a personal realm for the user. This technique is required for the user to have any techniques that involve the use of a personal realm. This technique can only be used once to create a personal realm, but can be used repeatedly in order to enter that realm. An Architect using this technique within their realm will merit no reaction, while using it within someone else’s realm will allow the user to enter their own. Specifics on the Realm can be found within the Jikukan spoiler.

As Enzaragi rushed in the flames would fly into his body either he or Kotaru miscalculated, or Kotaru wanted two birds with one stone... Enzaragi did not have the luxury to dwell on these things he soared rapidly through the air towards the titan Enzaragi knew that the flames would continue to linger, so he had to put them out as soon as possible or suffer severe burns. Enzaragi would once again jump through the air onto the ground to stop his momentum. The winds would quell some of the flames but not quite enough so Enzaragi quickly removed his cloak and tossed it aside, so he could continue forward without being burnt himself.

Enzaragi looked towards the sky and the dome noticing an open challenge between the red-headed man and Kotaru. The golem would then move to act as an additional defense to the tower before it looks like the two lovebirds are gonna duke it out. Leave the tower and titan to me then! Enzaragi would use the space-time stopping the Doton colossus to his advantage not only rushing towards it but also at a diagonal angle to get a better angle. He would then run upon it's stopped hand before hooking into the golem's shoulder using it as a fulcrum to swing around behind it that he wasn't vulnerable to follow up attacks from Yozei. As Enzaragi flew around behind it "back" as he used his heated up Omega blades to be used as improvised climbing hooks before channeling chakra to his feet to sprint up the giant.

Enzaragi spun his chains blades as he ran up the titan to cause as much damage to it as possible before flinging both blades causing a massive double explosion with equal strength to Enzaragi's own destructive power onto it's left shoulder to attempting to destroy the shoulder and cause it's massive arm to tumble to the ground. If this were to be successful Enzaragi would move onto the next before flipping towards the golems center and causing a final explosion on it's back in an attempt to destroy its torso. If it were to do so Enzaragi would simply jump towards the ground slide to safety and observe carefully before proceeding. If not then Enzaragi would remain on the golem continuing his assault.
Jutsu UsedShow

Enzaragi reels back slamming both his blades into the ground in front of him causing the ground to quake and those within 5 m will not be able to retain their footing unless they have a Strength equal to or greater than the users. Before using the momentum of the explosion and slam to bring it down from either his left or right side twice again causing the same effect before ending the combo with a front somersault slamming the blades for the fourth time causing a [Strength] explosion and the ground to shake from the impact causing the fore mentioned effect within a 40-meter distance

The Dark Prince observed as it's chain was suddenly frozen in place before it could reach the winged Bannin. Similarly the Golems hand became immovable as it neared the man. Glowing eyes scanned for the cause of such a disturbance, Kotaru hadn't seemed to form any seals or glow with chakra. There was the woman in the distance who suddenly vanished along with Noeru. She could be problematic. And then there was the other man charging in with weapons drawn. A close range fighter was much easier to deal with, though it was impressive he had managed to survive Kotaru's flames and keep fighting.

However, Enzaragi's luck would likely soon run out as he charged directly into the molten minefield that had been prepared. As soon as he entered the roughly 100 meter radius area centered around Yozei, lava would erupt from a 10 meter diameter around him, blazing upward at 50 Strength and Speed. At the very least, even if he managed to jump simultaneously his legs would be completely melted away and if he fell within the range of the technique or the crashing wave of lava then the rest of his body would be incinerated as well.

The Dark Prince would sneer at the man, satisfied that at least one threat seemed to be dealt with. The odds were still stacked against him but if the Iwagakure forces were reckless he would prove a deadly opponent. With Kotaru still keeping in the air and out of close range, the transformed form of Yozei would focus additional chakra into the hardened earth around him. Now, he would be able to fully control the earth around him, choosing between either open flow or closed of the hardened ground beneath him and the large dome behind him. All the while his body still surged with Katon chakra and the ground around him remained flooded with Youton chakra. Cutting off the chakra connection to the chain it would remain hanging in the air but no longer attached to his arm as the demonic looking man moved into a lower stance, hands still covered in Youton and Sankaton chakra as he waited to see if Kotaru would approach him. "Don't tell me you're afraid. Aren't you a Bannin of Iwagakure? Come, fight me!" He taunted, his voice crackling like flames as he preprared to clash once more with Yozei's lifelong rival.

Natsumi came back to an almost similar sight. Kotaru was still in the same spot he had been in the air and the other man was still in his spot, albeit he was now transformed. So, nothing had happened between them in the time it had taken her to crudely remove the boy's kidney. Good for her at least.

Her eyes scanned the area leading up to the pair. The flames from Kotaru's Katon jutsu continued to spread towards where the Iwa squad had originally came from but it was no concern to her. She was, however, confused to see a legless Enzaragi and the remains of a lava plume on the path to the lone defender. Remains of sludge-like molten earth eerily similar to the famed Youton release of the Enkouten clan formed a 10 meter wide circle around the area some 10 more meters in front of the mercenary. Yikes. Hopefully he was still alive.

'What the hell did you do? Are you still alive?' Natsumi asked through the mental link to Enzaragi, unsure of the boys answer.

Natsumi channeled chakra atop her platform and pointed at the remains of the lava plume. The Space/Time chakra she had gathered infiltrated the ground and [Deteriotated] whatever had been done to it, freeing the ground of the molten minefield. From there, she raised her other hand once more and split the swarm of starlings flying around the platform into two groups once more. She directed the first group to pick up Enzaragi as they had done Noeru earlier and bring him to her so she could heal him while the other was directed towards the stone golem.

Between her Space/Time ninjutsu radiating 100 meters from Kotaru and freezing the majority of it in place and the Jikiton jutsu still affecting it, the blonde wasn't too worried. The half-swarm of birds rocketed across the sky of the battlefield towards the golem as chakra glowed around them. Once they got within 50 meters of the behemoth, the swarm of starlings fired off a hail of [Railgun Feathers] straight at its exposed chest.

His plan didn't quite go to plan as Yozei had cleverly put a minefield so that he would catch anyone who tried to blindly rush in. And the blindman was now Enzaragi. After he stepped on the ground Enzaragi realized what had happened and tried to jump back but it was futile. His legs were blown off completely into nothing but chunks. And said chunks flew around spraying the battlefield with blood and lava. 'GAAAAAAAH FUCK MY FUCKING LEGS Damn! Hope in Jashin's good name Natsumi is close by.'

The pain was immense but luckily Enzaragi's gathered his thoughts and his experience from various battles sustaining life ending injuries and other painful attacks allowed him to push through. He grit his teeth and groaned in immense pain tears wanted to well up but this was no time to cry.

The explosion and coupled with his jump sent him flying back towards Natsumi and way from the minefields. Luckily the remaining distance was shortened by the birds picking him up and flying him towards Natsumi who had comeback from her surgery. 'Yeah I'm just peachy can't you tell fucking tell!? I'm fine just gotta grow back my legs and I'll pop right back up. But to answer the first part clever bastard put down a minefield. Was too busy with not catching on fire so I missed him placing them down.' Enzaragi answered back humor and sarcasm was a way to deal with stressful situations and him having no legs was truly stressful. 'Would you kindly assist in me growing my legs back! You're a skilled medic right? Soon as I'm back in the fight I'll get my payback I promise you that! The pain the war it all came together. It frustrated Enzaragi to no end. First the fire from Kotaru now this. Seems like fire is his worst enemy. He felt useless and that angered him the reputation of Setsuzoku was on the line.

No matter he would simply have to shake of his frustrated thoughts and proceed as soon as his legs regenerated. Which hopefully Natsumi could assist in. As soon as he was back in the battle The zealot would make sure to pay attention and assist in the assault against the tower properly...

Trough his learning in the ways of Jashin Enzaragi can ignore all forms of pain he can do this while being tortured or in the middle of a fight it doesn't matter. He uses this mostly in the middle of fights in order to keep an attack going.

For the second time, their wartime ally decided to run wantonly into danger. This time he paid for it with his legs. Kotaru was already dubious about the alliance, and now the rogue seemed to be going out of his way to prove himself to be a hindrance. Each minute that passed only bolstered his opinion that an alliance with the rogue would likely prove to be worthless. But again he bit his tongue, his displeasure instead pouring out from his judgemental glare.

Kotaru’s lip curled at his rival’s taunt. Years ago when he was more hotheaded, he might have been goaded into closing the distance between them. But now he was older and more experienced, and since it was nigh impossible to rile up his emotions there wasn’t much that could persuade him into close-quarters combat. “I’m just fine up here!” he shouted, his expression falling suddenly. Most people who fell victim to this particular genjutsu fell apart rapidly and became easy pickings. Yozei, however, seemed to become a different person entirely. Within his voice there were now fire and flames that seemed too vicious for the man, and his darkened skin was conspicuous, to say the least.

He quickly weighed his options. There was a possibility that Yozei had a resistance to genjutsu, and that it was related to this transformed, demonic version of him. But how could he know for sure without a bit of experimentation? He spoke into the comms. “Natsumi. Something’s not right. The genjutsu didn’t work. I’m going to hit him again to test something. Back me up with the birds in case he tries to close in.” The bannin flew into seals, keeping a watchful eye on the man below. His tendrils spread out fanlike behind him, the ends curling toward his enemy and then tensing as if preparing for what would come next.

Kotaru will perform a series of hand seals, and when the targets look at Kotaru’s shiin the genjutsu will activate. The targets will become overcome with fear, becoming dizzy and unable to move whenever they see Kotaru. They will feel their heart racing painfully as if having a heart attack, will feel they are unable to breathe, and will feel ill to the point of uncontrollable heaving or vomiting. This technique lasts 9 posts.

The Dark Prince's face twisted into a scowl and then a sinister smirk as Kotaru refused to be baited by his taunting. But it didn't really matter, the Iwa Bannin was already within his range he just didn't know it yet. Having kept his distance near the frozen chain and golems hand some 20-30 meters away from Yozei he wasn't quite as close as he would have liked but it would have to do. The moment Kotaru began forming handseals, the Prince knew he needed to act. Whether it was genjutsu or Katon he wasn't about to let the Bannin complete his handseals.

Immediately the aura of flames that he had previously created would surge away from his body. Fortunately, he would be able to catch at least half of the bird swarm in it as well as they rapidly approached and made their attack against the stationary stone titan. Flames would erupt in an all-encompassing wave that would set the titan, the starlings and Kotaru ablaze. "Burn" he commanded, eyes glowing as he peered through the fire. Unless Kotaru abandoned his handseals it was unlikely he would be able to evade the sudden sea of flames, and even then they moved faster than he was capable of moving.

And then he would stomp the ground, causing the flaming dome behind him to part way and let him step inside before closing shut again. There was no need for him to overextend himself. He held the advantage here, the Senju captive mattered little to him in this state and truthfully even protecting the tower no longer mattered to him. But he knew they were tasked with destroying it and luring them in was the best chance he had of being able to kill both Kotaru and the woman and make his escape. Assuming he was able to retreat inside the dome before Kotaru could complete his seals the Prince would again take a moment to rest and focus on defense. At this point he had used at least half his chakra reserves and was coated in a layer of sweat. But still neither he nor the tower had taken any damage and he had hopefully managed to impede each of his opponents to some extent. Exhaling slowly, the Princes hands still alight with chakra he would wait for their next move. And if anyone dared enter his domain he would ensure a swift death. "Only two more" he chuckled to himself. He doubted Kotaru would be killed by the flames but it was unlikely he would escape unscathed.

It was only at this point that he recalled there had been another ally of his who had retreated underground. What had happened to him? "Should we even the odds?" He mused to himself. Yozei couldn't hear him, his mind trapped within but the Dark Prince still considered the other as part of himself. Leaping onto the tower he would run along its length, descending about 10 meters until he came parallel with the tunnel that had created as an escape route for Zakuro. "Zakuro...come on out" he called into the darkness as he began the long trek underground. The tunnel was about 100 meters in length and he had no way of knowing the man had fallen asleep, succumbing to genjutsu. The flickering light of Youton emanating from his right hand and the glowing marks across his body would be enough to partially light the way as he neared closer to his remaining ally. If he heard any sign of the Iwagakure shinobi pursing him or otherwise making the trek problematic he would hastily increase his speed and be prepared to use Terrakinesis to defend himself. But assuming he managed to find the man at the end of the tunnel, the Dark Prince would smirk at the discovery. "Sleeping on the job. Can't have that, can we?" he mused to himself as he approached. "Get up, give me a hand" he insisted, grinning with the look of someone who might take your kidney in a back alley. It seemed Zakuro needed some encouragement. Crouching down, the demonic being grabbed Zakuro's left hand with his own in an attempt to pull him to his feet. Only, as he made contact the Sankaton coating promptly eroded through flesh and bone. Well, that should wake him up anyway.

High above the field, a hawk soared and let loose a series of piercing cries. In a general code known to all shinobi, the message was simple. Towers 1 and 2 had fallen. Now, Tower 3 stood as the lone resistance to the invasion.

Natsumi rolled her eyes as she listened to Enzaragi curse in pain over the telepathy seal. She felt like she had just watched a child touch a really, really hot stove. The swarm of birds deposited Enzaragi on the same building as the still passed out Noeru before coming back to swirl around her once more.

'You're going to have to wait. Watch over the boy. We need to finish up here before this place becomes the center of attention.'

Meanwhile, across the battlefield, the sphere of fire expanded from Yozei and reached Kotaru as the swarm of birds passed behind him. The fuuijutsu covering his body activated upon the flames coming close and reflected them back across the field into the dome and golem protecting it. The hail of feathers thudded into the flaming chest of the golem as the swarm banked hard and away from the golems center mass downwards, dodging its slower swipes, to the flaming dome below. The swarm began to glow with chakra as they travelled towards the dome and dive bombed it, attacking it with their beaks and claws even as the fire spread to them on contact. Several of the birds screeched as they were burned alive but they were dedicated to their mission. Their chakra finished gathering, they released it and magnetized the dome to have the opposite charge of the one on the golems arm. The half-remaining of the half-swarm pulled away from the dome as the arm of the golem would come crashing down onto it like it was trying to squash a bug.

The dome shattered under the combined force of the flames, the dive bombing birds, and the thunderous blow from the magnetized golem arm. Now, the top of the tower was free and visible for all while Yozei walked down the tunnel to finally find and 'wake' up his ally in an unconventional way.

At first Enzaragi had assumed that she was here to heal him up but instead he had been assigned babysitting duty... Great... It bothered Enzaragi to no end feeling as though they found him that useless so they made him defend a sleeping body. Meanwhile Chikara was out there fighting for his own life and trying to assist in the war with the rest of Setsuzoku.

He looked towards Natsumi until he got the word which truly soured Enzaragi's already pained face even more. 'You can't be serious? I'm watching over someone taking a damn nap!? Fine I'll make sure he doesn't decide to wake up from his nap and rejoin the fight. He ain't going nowhere.'

With that Enzaragi was carried to the building where Noeru was located keeping a watchful eye until he could raise again which was sooner than later. Yet incase he moved Enzaragi would crawl a little closer before brandishing his chain blades ready to ensnare the Senju at a moments notice. If he was going to guard someone especially at the state he was in then Enzaragi would make sure that he was a sentinel of this Senju. "Well guess it's just you and me! A legless man and a dreamer. Talk about war heroes huh? Man I hope you don't wake up that would suck for you truly," Enzaragi sarcastically spoke to himself and the sleeping man as a way to ease the pain that was fading rapidly as his legs kept regrowing.

After being dropped off the zealot had no choice but to watch the fighting rage on hoping that he could be off more use. Anger filled his soul keeping a close eye on both the body and the fight incase he was needed and the body of the Senju took less of a priority but he was confident that would likely never happen.

Before Kotaru could finish his hand seals, the transformed Yozei moved to incinerate him and everything else on the field. Had it not been for Natsumi, the Iwagakure bannin would have surely been burned to a crisp. Instead, Kotaru squinted as the hellish conflagration got dangerously close to him, only to be thwarted by his sister-in-law’s technique. Fighting the power indeed, the flames managed to get within three meters before the fuuinjutsu did its job by reflecting them back towards the stone dome and its protector. Kotaru had enough faith in Natsumi that his hands never stopped forming seals; they merely slowed as the flames approached, and his heart raced when faced with annihilation.

At that moment a hawk sounded from above, almost as if validating what he already knew.
His childhood rival was just below him, but it wasn’t him. Whatever supernatural force that had taken over Yozei wasn’t one that Kotaru had any interest in. When the two men had their clash, the true war of fire, Kotaru wanted Yozei to be lucid. This monster wasn’t the one he wanted to crush. Their fight would have to wait.

When the flames cleared his immediate surroundings Kotaru completed seals for his next technique, keeping an eye on the area below. In the debris-laden void where the stone dome once stood, Kotaru could make out the opening of a narrow tunnel. 'Heh. Like rats.' The familiar orb of chakra formed in his hands and he flew down towards his target. He hovered a mere foot from the grown at the tunnel's opening, taking but a moment to peer down its dark depths before launching it inside. He then beat his wings powerfully and flew upward and above the sunken tower. The bannin smirked, a devil's grin, and rapidly performed seals for his tried and true technique.

He roared, unleashing a superheated stream of flames that was powerful enough to melt steel. Without any defenders the tower didn't stand a chance, and the bannin would watch with glee as the visible portion of the tower erupted. The firestorm would barrel down the entire structure, quickly alighting it and turning stone to ash. It would be a victory for Iwagakure, and a surprisingly simple one at that. A fleeting thought swept through him. 'Hope Tats and the others had an easy time as well.'
JutsuShow
Finished seals for Temple of the Abyss

Burst [Control 45]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the needed hand seals, Kotaru a creates large sphere of chakra roughly half a meter in diameter. This sphere can potentially be launched at up to [Control] speed and hit with [Control] strength, or be detonated with kai. Upon impact or detonation the sphere will burst, exploding and causing a damage area only 2x2x2 meters. The resulting explosion will sound like a chorus of small explosions, able to be heard up to [Control]x3 meters away.

Dragon's Breath
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the necessary hand seals, Kotaru takes a deep breath and expels a large stream of flames from his mouth. The stream moves at speed up to [Control] and can hit with [Control] strength. It can reach up to 100 meters long, and is thin for up to 5 meters immediately in front of him before expanding up to 70 meters wide. Due to Kotaru’s impeccable chakra control, he can alter the size of the stream at creation and at any time thereafter. The stream can be maintained continuously for up to 7 posts so long as he holds the final seal; during this time, Kotaru can halt the flames and start them back up again at will.

Eyes of fire stared unwaveringly at the motionless man. Even as Zakuro’s arm disintegrated he remained soundly asleep, well that was unfortunate. For him anyway. The demonic entity simply shrugged his shoulders, “Worth a shot” he commented to himself, his raspy, crackling voice echoing off the walls as shadows danced around him from the glowing coating of lava around his hand. And then came a sudden brightness from the opposite end of the tunnel as the tower was bathed in flames. It seemed Konoha’s objective had been lost. And without being able to use Zakuro as a distraction it seemed fighting would be futile. Therefore, the spirit considered that an offering of surrender was favorable to fighting needlessly. And if they insisted on fighting then he would do what he must to survive.

Channelling chakra into his surrounding earth the prince infused the area for terrakinesis. However, no sooner than he did he heard the sound of an explosion. Naturally, the flaming man stomped on the ground and thrust his arms upward and out, manipulating the ground above them to part way and the ground below to rise. Only when the earth turned over and cleared away the existing flames did the Dark Prince begin to feel some sense of fatigue as the genjutsu began to take affect. Pivoting on the spot he would search for the nearest Iwagakure shinobi. Spotting the winged fire breather in the distance, the closer legless man atop a rooftop and and a glimpse of the woman’s sparrow swarm, he decided to raise his arms up for all to see. “How about you take this guy” he said, kicking Zakuro in the ribs, “And you let me walk away from this? Suna is no friend of mine. I’d rather not even be here” the demon insisted. Though his eyes were beginning to feel heavy and he could feel his grip on Yozei’s body beginning to falter. “Don’t..have much time” he muttered to himself. If they were to make some kind of deal to assure his safety it would have to be quick. Though he supposed if he gave control back to Yozei it was unlikely he could do much to mess anything up in the state he would be in.

Regardless of what the Iwagakure shinobi responded with, the Dark Prince would fall to his knees promptly enough and in doing so his arm would graze against his Katana. And in doing so, the markings across his body began to quickly recede. In a matter of moments, his traits would vanish and the likeness of Yozei would return. Dropping from his knees to his elbows, Yozei heaved and felt a sudden wave of terror and nausea. It felt like the first time he met Kotaru all over again when the boy had shown him his genjutsu and made him vomit all over the training grounds. As strong as he had become, leading armies and conquering nations, even being named a legitimized prince and ruler over a prefecture. It all amounted to nothing compared to Kotaru’s might. “What…what happened?” he sputtered, glancing around and just now noticing Zakuro was with him. Clambering over to him, Yozei checked his breathing and sighed in relief that he was still alive. But he couldn’t even control his own shaking, nor muster the courage to stand. His held his hands in front of him, hastily dismissing the lava around his right hand as it hardened and shattered into pieces. Staring at Zakuro’s missing arm, his eyes went wide and he became oblivious to anything else around him. ‘Did I? No. I couldn’t have’ his mind raced and his heart pounded in his chest. “Kotaru!” he called out suddenly. “Spare them, please! Take me instead. Just let them live!” he pleaded. He couldn’t tell where Noeru was at the moment, but he couldn’t let his comrades die. Especially not Zakuro who was a friend and mentor to him. He would never forgive himself if he was killed under his watch, especially if he had in fact lost control and harmed him in any way.
