Konoha Legends: (Hidden Waterfall Village)

kane rubbed his wrists, as the gloves hebe had given him were sealed inside.  Standing up, he unfastened his cloak, hanging it from a nearby tree so as not to get it all dirty.  Then, without waiting, he fastened teh harness in place.  Then, with a heave, he slid the 2 war axes in place, leaning backwards for a second with the new weight, then corrected himself.  After everything was in place, he donned his traveling cloak once again, this time, 2 handles peaking out from his shoulders.

"Hmm, you burrow, then i destroy?  That sounds like a job for kyoufuu,  but he's been pissy with me lately.  So feyrbrand should do fairly well."  He said, smiling wide at the last to arrive of the trio"  Stealth suits you perfectly" he said gripping jacks forearm, with his new black gloves, careful to not squeeze his finger tips, as they were now similar to claws.

"I think i'll walk with you garret" he said, turning his attention back to their other partner.  "They'll think its strange if you're here by yourself, and my dragon will be more successfull, if he doesnt have to  ferry me.  He can be quick and fierce, when the setting is right.  Plus, we need to be able to watch each others backs, in case something goes wrong.  I know jacks got our back, but if he's keeping his distance, while staying hidden,  his possibilities become limited." 

With that said, kane made a few hand signs, after pullign a glove off. He'd have to remember to cut out enough leather to allow him to use summoning jutsu with his gloves on. Then summoned feyrbrand back into their midst.  The dragon wasnt alot taller then any of the 3, but he was very long.  His wings were wrapped up, and resting on his back.

"aw man! i was just getting into some good sleep too.."  he said, standing up, from his nesting position, and stretching out.

"I know, I know,  but theres trouble ahead, and we need your expertese"  kane said calmly, as the dragons fierce gaze met his two teammates. "Oh, this is garret, his dad is bedes, who i got the contract from, And he.." he said, motioning toward the 3rd teammate. "Is jack, together we make squad one, the demons of konoha"  kane had taken to smiling again, he loved that little nickname of theirs.  After the introductions, he proceded to explain the plan to feyrbrand, who seemed to agree, and actually looked forward to the task ahead.

"so, when do we head out"  the dragons voice echoed through the trios mind.  What was unique about dragons, was the fact that they didnt speak like normal creatures, rather they spoke with their mind, to those they wished to hear. 

Raising his hands Garret began to form summoning seals also, his fingers moving quickly before pressing down on the ground at his feet sending up a large puff of smoke. Once more the three Hunter Rabbits appeared striking a cheesy cool pose as they stood back to back in a triangle.

"Back so soon? Sup Garret?"

"This is a mission for Tsuchi, I want two to stay with me keeping out of sight for the usual. Tsuchi, I want you to burrow through the canyon walls to weaken the sides so that on a heavy impact they will collaps." They nodded and the one with the largest paws vanished in a hail of earth. The other two jumped down the same hole leaving things all quiet.

"Ok things are in place... Feyrbrand was it? Your roll will be to wait and watch as we walking into the canyon, when we are about a third through you nee dto fly out and blast at the walls right along colapsing the entire thing. My rabbit will have burrowed enough space to allow you to take out allot of the cliff edge. When that is done use youre discression as the best course of action. other wise for the rest of us its usual possitions, try not to get too close to eachother and allwo them to overwhelm us. Its been a long time since we've shown our faces so lets give them something to remember."

Brushing his red claock to either side he drew out a scroll and tucked it under his sleave ready for the battle ahead. "Lets give them hell." Turning he walked to catch up to Kane the fiery red cloak rusteling around his black armour.

"you said there are 7 shinobi eh?  Well they will most likely have a limited amount of data on me, i've been in this area far too long."  Moving his hands again, he hit the ground a second time, a poof of smoke lifting, revoutward appearance.ealing a smaller draggon with a decent wingspan for its size.  The dragon quickly fluttered up to kanes shoulder, taking up his spot on kanes shoulder.  "They've most likely noticed how often he is with me, and expect him.  I Ussually send him away for battles, but i dont want to bring any suspision before needed." 

With that, kaisen set out, moving forward, his hands behind his head, as one played with barret, the other gripped his neck.  For all onlookers, he gave off the signs of a peaceful, unsuspecting victim.  In reality, his eyes were changed, golden amber, and vigalant, taking in all his surroundings, even through his hearty laughter, and relaxed attitude.

Then, after some walking, they came upon the pass, the rock walls shooting up on each side.  Kane kept moving with only slowing pace for a second to look mildly interested, but to see nothing to prevent him from entering.  Garret was nearby, and he knew they were both ready.

Since kane was taking his time, it was a bit longer then would be expected to reach the 1/3rd point.   But once there, a thud reverberated in the area, then another, And before the beast even came into sight, a fireball lurched forward from hidden behind the clouds.  Then another.  They crushed into the canyon walls with echoed force, caving them in, thanks to the rabbits burrowing.

Then, with a terrible roar, the beast appeared, tearing through the cloud coverage, before turning in its flight path, before taking out the other side of the wall.

It was pandemonium, as 6 figures fought not to be crushed in the crumbling masses of rock.  Kane had already cleared out of the area, his eyes sharp, as he watched the 6 chunin struggle, 3 on either side.  No doubt to ambush them with 2 on 1 odds against each teammember.

The fight had begun.

The plan went flawlessly causing chaos on every side of the canyon as it collapsed inward and sent up a giant plume of dust into the air blocking what was happening from the last shinobi waiting at the end of the canyon.

With a flurry of his hand the hidden scroll was thrown into the air where it unravelled and exploded into two large puffs of smoke. Reaching out either hand he was now charging straight for the nearest recovering Shinobi, two large blade swords with jagged, violent edges landing in either hand before then exploding in a torrent of screaming electricity that jumed around the blade, that was then slashed downward with all the speed he could muster at that point.

As the rubble settled Garret coudl feel pressure agaisnt his two blades, the Rain shinobi dressed in grey and cream with goggles pushed back against the two swotds with two Kunai, the blades edges spinnign with wind imbued chakra.

"Shit." Garret knew what this would mean for him, after all he ahd been fighting a wind alingned oponent for the last year. "Raikou! Tsuchi! Uindo! As he brough his swords around in a spin a ribble moved outward from his arms dragging the Kunai out of the Shinobi's hands before a pulse pushed away from Garret sending the Kunai flying back toward the Shinobi he ahd just stolen them from but also pushing the shinobi away from him.

As his blades came aroudn full circle they intercepted a strange thin blue serrated edged blade that crackled with lightning and pushed against Garrets own two heavy swords. As he pushed against the shinobi and took her blue clothing with a metal mask that covered over her eyes three brown and white blurs jumped up from the ground landing on the scroll on his back and pulling it away into the air where it unraveled as two pulled on the ends and the other sat in teh middle.

With adrenaline kicking in Garret pushed his blades downward into the ground and kicked to teh side aimed to the womans gut, however this shinobi seemed equally as skilled, her foot coming up to meet his and forcing them both away from eachother.

Skidding backward and pulling his sowrds form the earth, the large scroll above his head exploded in smoke as the three rabbits vanished to be repalced by a larger shadow over head. Taking in teh two styles of his opponents Garret moved on the offencive once again agaisnt the womman his blades coming around and together in a pincer movement, their heavy edges bouncing off her thin and nimble two bladed sword that was quickly twisted in a circle to push and trap both blades.

From behind the wind shinobimoved low a Kunai in hand gathering up chakra for a deadly stab into Garrets back. With a heavy clang of metal and then several more in quick succession the kunai was blocked and then forced to defend as a man sized rabbit with pink fur and shinobi liek clothes appeared, four Ninja-Ken held in either paw and in the long ears that seemed to have a dexterity of their own pushing back against the rain shinobi with equal vigour as Garret had started with.

Jack moved slowly as Kane rushed forward into combat.  He placed his hand upon the ground and focused.  A summoning circle formed around his palm and he called out.  His words were steady as he said, "Summoning jitsu: Strider The Rider Chameleon..."  He didnt like the odds and knew that there might be a need for support.  Out of all his summons strider was the most useful and well equipped.  A larger summon who was roughly the size of a war horse.  He had with a long powerful tail and huge horns.  Strider carried most of Jack's weapons on his back and other goodies.  He was also very strong offensive and defensive weapon. 

Yet that wasnt the best reason to bring him out.  His eyes sight and size made him ideal for this situation.  Jack jumped on mount riding the beast and readying for battle.  He smiled as both of them went invisible.  Jack used a simple enough earth jitsu and his summon used his chameleon abilities.  The warrior couldn’t easily see the battle but smiled and said, “What is happening Strider hurry up and make haste.”  The summon rushed forward moving quietly and swiftly even for a creature its size. 

The only thing jack could hear was his soft voice.  The summon said, “The one called garret is battling two ninjas.  He called forth a summon for support.  The first was a man rain ninja using the element of wind.  This poses a problem for him sense he is using lighting.  The other a woman with a mask was using lighting imbued chakra technique.  She seemed skill and able that makes up two of the six that we must take down.”  While one eye was fixed upon Garret the other eye was fixed upon Kane.  As the creatures eyes focused he said, “The second called Kane is fighting two warrior ninjas.  One using hand to hand techniques with lighting chakra added to them.  The other ninja is supporting his comrade as well. The last two have yet to make a move but will most likely move to help.  They are forming seals and calling upon ninjitsus.  Most likely from their distance and movement they are mid range fighters.” 

Jack nodded know that information to be as close to correct as possible.  He sent ahead to keep an eye on Kane.  This way Jack could provide much needed support at a moments notice.  On the other hand Garret was in a tight spot too.  Jack just kept smiling as they drew close.  His plan ready and his mind set for battle.  Strider jumped forward as Jack jumped off his back.  He became visible as he made two wood clones in the air.  The last two ninja jumped out of the way of the falling summon.  It horns crashing into the ground and sending up rubble.  The summon used that as cover spinning its tail around to attack. 

Strider felt contact as it tail struck on of the ninjas but quickly found out that it was a replacement technique.  The two ninja were most like placed in that position to prevent any more surprises.  Luck for jack that he wasn’t stupid ether.  The two ninja said, “Suiryuudan no Jutsu - Water Dragon Projectile Technique”  The two dragon a rose from the ground with out water around them.  The reared up and spend out at him ready to take him down.  Jack didn’t have time to be impressed by the jitsu or the fact that they did it with out water present.  

He did smile as his two wood clones supported him saying, “Mokuton no Jutsu - Wood Release Technique…”  His wood clones were much more useful than any other clone type because they could use Mokuton techniques too.   Two large wooden javelins shot forth attacking the water dragons head on.  The two long and very large javelins were ripped and torn in the torrent of water.  But they did their duty of driving the attacks away.  His two clones pressed forward at the confused ninjas.  They drew forth wooden short blade and slashed at the ninjas.  The two rain ninjas jumped backward away from the attacks. They had never seen such a technique in there lives.  Jack then smiled as his summon turned invisible again and jumped upward.  Nodding he kept an eye on garret and Kane knowing they might need support at any moment.  But for now he would keep these two minds focused on him.

He then said landing on the summon saying, “Is that it…”  His voice faded as he turned invisible with the summon.  Jack landed soundlessly as his wood clones fought the two keeping them busy.  Meanwhile jack laid in wait for the moment to strike.

(you edited your post ... bastard -_-)

`The ground heated around him, as a man with red hair came billowing forward, letting loose a jet of flame where kane had originally stood.  When he had finished, his partner came on with full force, hands crackling with lightning shot out, threatening to electrify anything in reach. 

Kane on the other hand had avoided the fire, deciding it best not to pit his fire jutsu against an enemy just yet.  He knew the knowledge of who was stronger in that aspect could be a dangerous piece of info to give the enemy.  Instead, he had shifted back a few rocks, before jumping again, watching the rock he had stood on moments before explode in a blast from an electrified fist.

Opting to leave some cards up his sleeve, he reverted to an attack that they'd know he had.  His fist clenched, as he skipped passed the lightning individual, and headed straight for the fire bastard, his fist connecting with what appeared to be him, before a puff of smoke, and a torn to shreds log revealed it to be a replacement.  At the same time, from above, the lightning style shinobi was assaulted by a jet opf flame from barret, who had left his perch on kanes shoulder as soon as the fire started.  He opted to stay closer to the fire, finding it soothing,  and in its absence, his annoyance reigned supreme, and his desire to cause damage was directed solely at the 2 shinigami now locked in combat with kane.

Scanning the area, it was not a moment too soon that he found the flamer, as the bastard was loosing another great fireball attack.  Kane quickly ducked low, smashing his fist into the ground, and launching rubble upward to make a makeshift shield.  With that firmly in place, he edged around it, avoiding the flames and came in low, an uppercut aimed to close the bastards jaw, permanently.

(its coz things changed so wanted to leave it more open for you but no matter now aye.)

"Looks like we've evened the odds a little here. Still we don't have allot of time!" His shout was aimed for his friends, they had to take care of these guys before the ring leader got involved and completely ruined the balance they had managed to form, though it was bad enough just fighitng two chunin who were obviously just as strong as they were.

Panting slightly from the continued effort of parrying and countering with the woman who didn't seem to tire, Garret choose a new tactic that he hadn't used since the chunin exams. As a stab and swipe came in from the strange shaped sword he stabbed his large blade into the ground using its angular edge to trap the blade before then throwing the seond one downward at another angle and locking the other side forcing the woman to tug at it as he jumped upward into the air.

Drawing out his second huge scroll he bit the tip of his finger and launched the scroll open above him as he sprayed a slather of blood over it releasing the seals. Grabbing the first two weapons that came to hand he launched a spear and a long sword downward at the women forcing her to jump away from her weapon to dodge them.

The attack was shortly followed by a shower of weapons around him as the scroll released its contents of black bladed metal upon the battle field below him. Landing he held out a hand toward a Katana that pulled itself from the ground and swung into his opened hand.Swinging it outward in a slash the women jumped back and grabbed one of the weapons for herself.

In an explosion of metal shards Garret grinned devilishly as the women was flung backward by the exploding weapon her hand bloodied and torn from the fregments that also stuck out of her arm and side in places.

"Please dont' do that, it takes me a long time to make these weapons you know and its such a waste to blow them up." He had one hand held up in the release gesture that he had detonated the sword with. Not wasting any tiem he began his attack again, the women now forced into the defence whislt her partner was still taken up by the time taking ninja rabbit.

Jack summon saw the woman on the defensive.  He let loose a high bitch yell that was issued forth.  Of course only a creatures with its own unique hearing would understand or hear the scream.  Moving the summon attacked aiming his tongue like a spear at the girl.  He was behind her and attacked from the top of a rock.  He aimed his attack at the right knee to immoblize the warrior.  With out of ability to move she would be in a world of pain.  He moved quickly attacking in an instant.  He then retreated after the attack turn back to his original invisible state.

Rider told Jack what was going on and nodded.  Knowing full well that he had to act quickly.  His clones were suddenly taken back by a rush of wind.  The chakra was pushed into there swords lengthening the blades.  Their bodies splintered from the overhead slice, easily cutting there weapons and bodies to pieces. 

But the victory was short lived as his summon came crashing down again.  Rubble issued forth at them and the ground cracking.  Jack was riding him holding his katana in hand.  As the summon became visible both warriors managed to attack with their wind imbued blades.   The blade quickly sliced through the air cutting down the warrior.  But then in a poof of smoke was issued froth it was a clone.

A hand arose from the ground as he shouted from the earth, “Beheading Buerial…”  Pulling one warrior under the ground he arose from the earth.  It was almost humorous how much the armor Garret gave him helped.  He was able to move through with little to no chakra usage.  Pulling the man down and raising from the ground he said, “Shikomi Shindan - Prepared Needle Projectile…”  Jack attacked sending the needles into the man’s chest. he never stood a chance of seeing it coming.  His summon spun around striking the man in the head with his tail.  Jack didn’t give him time to break loose.  Blood splattered everywhere as his head cracked open like a melon. 

The other man crumbled like a rag doll the poison on the needles coursing through the warriors veins and taking effect instantly.  Jumping up he mounted his summon again looking back.  He needed to move in order to be in position to help his friends.

the bastard was slippery fast, kane noted, as the flame user moved just of reach at the last second, but the beads of sweat forming at his brow hadn't gone unnoticed, and kane knew damn well being a fire user himself, that he wasnt sweating from the heat.

He didnt have much time to think however, as sparks flew behind him, a bolt ripping at the ground as it quickly closed in on his location.  It wasn't the lightning fists this time, rather a bolt seeming to generate from between the lightning users hands.  Unfortunately for kane, it was fast and accurate, following his movements as he did his best to avoid it.  It turned out unavoidable, as he felt the lightning connect, and surge through his body, sending his limbs ablaze, as he stood his muscles tensed on their own, and left him immobile temporarily.

In his moment of paralysis, the fire user had made his return, the sweat seeming to fade, as he formed his hand seals, then sent a jet of flame forward.  He was close, and as the paralysis wore off, flames washed over kane, charring his cloak, and destroying his hair.  Then, without seeing what happened, the fire user was blasted, cuting whisps of flame ripping into him, lighting his own outfit ablaze, as the fire around kane faded to reveal him with a hand raised, minimal fire damage done to him, his cloak unharmed due to its fire retardant coating, and whisps of wind fading away.  The great breakthrough although not as powerful as a stronger gust, had been enough to tear through the flamethrower, and bring the pain back on the fire breathing bastard. 

This triumph was short lived, as the electric ninja erupted from the ground, fists once again shrouded in lightning, tearing up through kanes shirt, and leaving its bloody streak up to his chin where the connection lifted him from his feet, and launched him several meters back, where he rolled, crashing to a stop against a decent sized boulder.   His cloak was undamaged, laying next to him.  But as for everything else, from the waste up it was torn in a singed line straight up the front, and now lying in pieces along the path he had rolled.  Now his demonic tattoo was plainly visible to their enemies, showing his allegance, and dedication, as a demon of konoha, the dragon demon. Unfortunately, it didnt inspire the fear in his opponents it was meant to, instead they laughed at him, what a joke, lying beatin on the floor, when he had such a reputation to protect. 

Amidst their laughter, they had appearantly not noticed the moving outstretched arm, pulling back in, and his appearantly broken looking form pulling in closer, to push up from the ground.  Showed what little they knew,  kane was far from done.

Whilst his friends met either victory or defeat Garret met a constant wall of counter attacks. It was as if he fought himself but refused to release the power that boiled beneath his skin have now released his first two swords, his fists were impacting into the woman's guards ad then knocking into her wrists to stop her sword motion as she tried to counter attack.

In a cross lock he found himself once more at a stalemate with this blind metal woman from Rain, her fighting skills reminded him of both leaf and grass, perhaps his enemy had fought both. That experience put him at a disadvantage. Ruby at his back was feeling the same pressure as her Rain opponent drew back a step and then countered forward with the thrusting power of wind sending her two steps back.

Grumbling under his breath Garret was trying his hardest not to use any of his reserve energy at his point. Perhaps with Jacks help he could turn the tide but from one fighter to the other this woman was a force to be reckoned with.

That fact, alone made his eyebrows furrow as his feet skidded backward along the ground sending up of plume of gravel and dust before coming to a halt fists raised and blood trickling down gashes to his arms and legs. It wasn't that he had not been hit anywhere else but rather those where the only places that didn't meet metal armour.

With a screech of metal sweat rolled down Garrets body, his attacks had hit but not seemed to make any effect to these opponents. Slightly lent over he took several deep breaths, the jagged blade of his enemy parted the air as it cut toward him.

A final ditch attempt sent both enemy and rabbit ally scattering into the walls either side of him, their weapons scattering about them. Quickly Garret recovered the weights that covered his body dropping off like flies and releasing his full power as he spend into the metal faced women that had hounded him so long.

Blood splattered across his face, a grunt followed and then both he and the woman relaxed for some unseen reason. Blood trickled down Garrets chest as he stared wide eyes into the blank metal plate of his Rain enemy.

Pulling back Garret staggered backward grasping his chest. A Kunai was clutched firmly in his hands twisted at an angle, the blood on the blad epointed away from his body.

Trying to say somethign blood ran from the lips of his enemy a brief moment of triumph came over him as his attnetion turned to the oehr enemy and his summon struggeling for control over the few weapons they had around them.

Reaching out a clawed hand, pointed whisps of wire unraveled from the holes within the knuckles and tips of the gauntlet striking forward toward the man locked with the rabbit summon. In a moment a mass of deep black wire was wrapping around the man passing before the rabbit until a scream echoed and blood splattered across the front of Rubies light brown and white fured chest, the man droping to pieces cut like cheese through wire.

standing up, Kane was nowhere near finished.  His blazing narrow pupiled eyes showed his fury as the lightning fisted ninja fired another blast of lightning at him.  This time, he dropped low, rolling to the side completely avoiding the blast.  It was a peculiar attack indded, not many could simply fire lightning like a gun.  There had to be a trick to it.  But that didnt  matter now.  Kane wanted to face the man up close, not from a distance.  So, springing back to his feet, he kept low, zipping in an arching motion.

The opposing ninjas fists shrouded themselves in lightning, the sparking sounding like a crackling chirp.  But this time, kane was ready with his own counter, his fists whistling, as they were shrouded in wind, taking on the form of dragons claws around his hands.  The 2 met, lightning clashing with wind, neither wanting to give. But in this little game,  the wind had the advantage, ripping through the lightning, before the ninja pulled away, his fist coated in red, at the numerous cuts inflicted by the last encounter.

Without a pause, it was covered in lightning once again, making the blood appear almost purple behind the bright light.  This encounter was different.  Kanes blow was deflected, the lightning fist worming through his defenses, and finding purchase in his gut.  Another blow cam quick, and colided with his face, a singing screech echoed as the lightning tore at his skin.  But kane found it hard not to smile, as the lightning shinobis realization hit.  He wasnt the only one that connected with the others face.  And unfortunately for him, the blow that hit his own face, was all about the shredding.

Blood erupted from the side of his neck, as it was revealed just how much damage was done.  The dying shinobis head lopped over, the cut going clean through his spine, and stopping only a few inches from a clean break.  The last strands of muscles and vessels held his head on his body, but that didn't do much for the rest, now hanging limp on a shoulder.

"NOOO!!!!"  his partner yelled out.  He knew there would be trouble, for his partners death.  he didnt want to be the one to tell ... her.

"I'll kill you for that!"  he shouted from his up til now hidden vantage point.  Unfortunately, he let his emotions get the better of him, and that cost him the element of surprise.

Turning just in the nick of time, he saw the wave of flames coming at him.  Now was as good a time as any to finally compare their fire wielding abilities.  With a few quick hand motions, the wind died away, before he sucked in, his chest puffing.  The alterations in his face surged with agony, the charred flesh on his cheek cracking as he released a jet of fire, crashing against the incoming flames.

The 2 pushed against each other neither giving way, that was  until kanes hands starting moving again.  The best part about the last year of wandering, was the fact that everyone he trained with seemed to want him to focus on his control.  As such, with his overwhelming chakra levels, he was able to perform this attack.  His hand thrust forward, a great blast of wind launching out, meeting the flames.  The extra little push was more then enough to overpower the flame mans flames, and engulf him, before exploding violently.

The man stammered from the clouds of smoke, his clothes  torn to shreds.

"What the hell?"  he asked, leaning against a rock for support.

"You shouldn't have messed with the demons."  he said, before a gust of wind overtook them both, and the flaming man was quite surprisingly gulped up by the white dragon

"mm tastes like chicken" the beast said,  laughing before taking flight once again. 

Wires dragged along the ground as Garret made his way toward his friends, slowly they began to recoil back into the gauntlet he had used them from. The black metal of his armour now showed from his unbuckled red robe which he then redid as he drew close pulling a Katana from the ground near by him.

"Six down one to go." Shouldering the Blade blade against him with a clank he looked to his two friends and their summons, his rabbit bouncing along to land next to him as he came to a stop between them. "This is the one who separated us... We should thank them."

With a grin the dust and debris from the destroyed cavern cleared to reveal a lone figure walking toward them. It was obvious to all, even Kane that this figure in the mist was the attacker from before. The shear scale of killing intent that flowed from them might have made any lesser shinobi cower. With his friends beside him however Garret felt no such fear, in fact after the last battles his adrenaline rushed through his veins.

Finally the details of their enemy could be seen, their enemy was obviously female and dressed in a tight fitting purple top and a short black skirt. Long purple leggings reached up from her black boots decorated in a pale pink scale like pattern along with a scarf like belt tied about her waist so that three parts hung down behind her the two ends decorated in the same scale like pattern.

Bright green eyes were brought out by a smattering of what looked like opaque scales under them like some strange eye shadow.

"You killed my friends! KILLED THEM! did I miss judge you? Konoha shinobi rarely kill their opponents and you certainly weren't that strong before." Her attention turned to Jack for a moment as she seemed to look at his summon with a curious glance. "I'd like to knwo where you got that summon from. Still it doesn't matter no one can stop Rain now, thanks to all the countires attacking eachother our strength has been slowly growing spredding into the larger river country."

Her Chakra was rising steadily and now exploded into a roaring torrent of blue that charged at the three Konoha shinobi. A Blue glow began to wrap around the womans body as the chakra began to wrap aroudn her forming into a scaled armour and a single spiked tail rising from her back over head.

"Don't you listen lady!?"  kane shouted back, as she was speaking aloud about her teams deaths.
"We're the DEMONS of Konoha!"  As he spoke he last bit, he turned to show her the full tattoo on his back.  "You should have known bett..."  his words were cut off, as her chakra level soared, and a massive blue  torrent charged forward.

Kane didnt stop to worry about his teammates, they'd be fine.  He trusted in them enough to know that.  Instead, he charged sideways, running up the cliff side looking like a mad beast, using both his hands and feet.  then, once cleared of the blue wave, he launched himself from the rubble pile, straight for the rain woman.  His right arm drew back, and as he neared, he swung forward a punch with explosive force, enough to rip the ground apart even beneath himself.   He only wondered how sturdy that armor was,  and what the hell was with the tail? 

The word 'shit' slipped through his lips.  He started to move and his mind was racing. KNowing that the group needed his mind clear in over to survive the next few moments.  He didnt even Look over his shoulder as he shouted , "Scatter now!!!"  Hoping his team hadnt forget the basics that they learened so long ago.  His summon faded into the wood work know full well their own role to play in this drama.  Hiding and waiting it would seem the female warrior wasnt someone to for granted. Hardened by continuous combat the group knew all to well what was at stake.  Being in the shadows waiting held its own advanatages.   He was ready to react he just hoped he could pull this off. The ninja legs were pumping as he was moving closer and his hands were already forming seals.

He said, "Moku Bunshin no Jutsu!!!"  a cloud of smoke enveloped him as three wood clones rushed forward out of it.  Moving in a trianglular formation there was one clone in the front and two behind.  staying unseen Jack kept to the back of the formation making the triangle into a diamon. 

He was doing his best to keep himself hidden.  erasing his presance and using a earth jutsu to become invisable. KNowing full well his summon were close by they could lend support.  It was time for all his training to show right now at this moment.

The first three clones were rushing forward as fast as they could manage.  The front most clone unlease a Moku jitsu (wood jitsu) turning his arms into spears saying,"Moku Shino no Jutsu - Thorn Limbs Attack ".  (if you ref the anime wood clones can do wood jitsu np) The clone hurdled himself into the air and attacked from above.  The spears of wood were rushing forward.  They were growing at rapid rate at there inteneded target.  The second clone dove into the ground, moving like mole through the earth.  He sprouted upward from the earth using his wooden body to entangle the female warrrior from underneath it looked like vines sprouting forth from the earth. 

Holding back the third clone gave off the illusion of being jack.  He even issued out commands to the other clones.  But this was just a trick for that wasnt his body.  Jack focused his chakra into his eyes and gathered himself.  The time that he truly wanted was just a moment. Rushing forward to the area that the rain ninja was looking at.  Logic dictacted that she would be looking at the attack that was coming at her.  Seeing as how that was from the first clone he moved to stand in her line of sight.  Hoping that his clones would do their jobs he was ready.  His body came into sight as the earth jitsu lost effect.  He said quietly, "Sly Mind Affect Technique..." looking straight forward his eye were aimed at hers. His hands pressing together tightly in the tiger seal position.

(hope this is better if not tell me please) nin

Much like his friends Garret bounced upward and then off of the ravines wall so that he was now above the wave of chakra that washed beneath him and his friends. As the chakra settled water began to seep through the ground and sides filling the area with a calm water that gently lapped against the walls.

As the rushing spears skimmed over the distance the woman smashed her armoured hands into the water sending up a wave that encompassed them to vanish and then float to the surface when the water settled.

Kane's fist came flying toward her breaking through the last of the water. As his fist closed in the single tail flipped over like a shield intercepting the razor covered punch like a shield. The explosion sent both shinobi backward skimming over the water. The tail of Chakra had been destroyed and now rebuilt itself from the over flowing power that surrounded the woman.

Several explosions went off around the woman and before her blocking the view of Kane and his friends. Garret landed next to his offencive friend and touched the water lightly with a hand.
"There is chakra runnign through this water. Given that she did not seem effected by Johon's jutsu I would suspect that she has some sort of imunity... There is little choice but to go all out against her and hope that Jack can find some sort of weakness. I'll go first and you bring up the rear with that new powerful attack you have."

Setting off over the water he jumped to the side against a wall to run a short distance before drawing unclipping his heavy red robe. As it fluttered away the black metal armour glinted in the sun light covering most of his body. Arm drawn back a crackle of electricity built up around him before he moved it all into his fist. The smoke cleared and the monserous woman revealed herself with two tails. A hard scale layer had built over her entire body now, he did not have much tiem to take it all in as he was moving at full speed with the sparking arm smashing into one of the two tails. The resulting explosion sent sparks shooting in every direction. Unlike before the tail was real and solid causing Garret to be throw backward liek a rag doll into the side of the ravine but not before the built up current rippled through the water and across the Rain shinobie's body making her twitch nervously as his body became inbedded within the rock.

As the explosion echoed through the valley, Kanes hands and feet skidded across the water, trying to slow himself to a stop.  As the water splashed back, and his skidding came to a stop, Garret plopped nest to him in the water.  Having used the water to slide to a stop, kane wasnt surprised when garret announced the source of the waters strangeness.  

As garret spoke his plan, kane simply kept his eyes focused on the clearing cloud that revealed the woman not only still standing, but looking a bit more pissed off.  When his partner had finished, he simply gave a quick short nod to confirm that he knew, and agreed with the plan.  Garret could go first, he would be a useful distraction.  Hopefully distracting enough for the dragon fist to make purchase on the crazy tailed lady.

Kane waited until garret moved to the wall, letting the woman follow him, before he himself took off.  He had adopted a more crouched forward style in this battle, which several times now left him charging forward on all fours.  Not this time though.  This time, he was leaned forward, his arms trailing behind him as he arched along the water, running alongside the wall.  He kept low to keep as little of himself visible as possible.  

As garrets attack landed, kane jumped against the rock wall to his side, he knew better then to be touching the water too close to an electrical attack, hell, any moron knew that much.  But more then to avoid taking friendly fire, the quick move to the rock wall gave him the proper angle and position to launch at the now somewhat nervous looking lady, his fists surrounded in the green sheen that took the form of powerful dragon claws.  With a twist, his left shot forward, the fist whistling through the air, as the telltale sound of wind gave proof that his attack was deadly sharp.  Yet, with those stupid tails in the way, the left was aimed to get in quick, and hopefully grab the tail that would no doubt come up in defense.  Thats when the attack would launch from his right, The second dragon claw fist aimed to cause as much damage as possible. 

The funny thing was, as the battle progressed, kane was gradually changing.  Slowly, his skin seemed to darken, and change shape.  His fangs got a bit longer, and his clans longer stronger nails were pushing out.  Also, his eyes had almost fully adopted the more dragon like ferocity that they held in the heat of battle.  He hadn't fully transformed yet, but at this rate, his control would be fading soon, and the monster that had been seen a year ago would come out once again.

The result of Garrets attacks had left the Rain shinobi open but despite the twitching she did as Kane had planed. The still intact tail came around before Kane to be butted away by his left jab, the explosion reeling it back. Then came the stronger left, crushing into the hosts exposed back the metal and nails caught against something hard that grated.

Pushed away by the blast the first tail regrown came back around, its spiked ends aimed to impail the shinobi as he was caught in mid air. As the spikes grew closer wire wrappeda around its width pulling it tight letting Kane drop back down.

Another blast of Electricity ran along it sending jolts through it into the hidden host clouded in steam. Eventually the wire became slack and the tail pulled free. As the steam settled a shadow loomed over the landed Kane. A giant claw splashed down then another came flying at the dragon shinobi.

A huge three tailed Turtle loomed over them as Garret splashed over the water to come opposite Kane in the ravine. The creature was so large its body almost blocked the exit to the ravine holding in more water and rasing the level further.

"That was quick. She couldn't have had much control over it... What do we do now? Its just going to get more powerful!" With a roar a chakra shockwave buffetted the water and the shinobi creating stormy waves on the other wise calm water.

Garret went on all fours to keep stable on the water beore straightening. His already limmited chakra reserves were draining from all the attacks that he had been trying to get off. This thing had an infinite amount of Chakra, how could the Kage's have fought against such creatures in the past... That being said their own Kage was a host also.

Unclipping a few strapps his armour pealed away from his body dropping through the water like stone. Beneath he was covered in full body weights that he unclipped and let fall away after. They could not afford to hold back anylonger, Kane was looking like he was loosing the plot again. Garret had some power to control him with the wire but that could only lead to harm his friend, something he did not want to do.

Needles shot from a wall imbedding in the neck area of the turtle. With an explosion that shifted the huge body slightly wood shot out form the walls clamping down on the beasts body. Jack, ran along one of the wodden beams drawing back the wrist bow he had saved up. Jumping over the incoming tails that smashed through the beam he was one Jack lept over its head and fired five needles into the top of its scaled head causing another explosion that made it roar.

The resulting shockwave sent Jack flying higher into the air before a pink tongue shot out and wrapped aroudn him, pulling him out of the path of a spiked tail. Garret gave an inwad nod, Jack was right, they had one thing left... do or die.

Holding out both hands he yelled at Kane. "Go now!" Wire unraveled from his arms shooting across the water in giant reams, more wire than he had ever used in one attack before. Wrapping around the giant monster he pulled tight using the strength of his seals now releasing. The result was that the beast became almost hog tied. Its tails pinned down as Garret gave a battle cry and released every ounce of Chakra in his body through the wires.

Electricity jumped across the water and beast sending up steam and the smell of burnt and steam cooked lobster. As it cleared the wires fell away as did Garret falling on his back eyes rolling back in his head.

Jack appeared on his chamelion and the long tail extended to rescue Garret from a watery grave as he began to sink. Clasped in the teathless mouth of Jack's summon the wood Shinobi lept off its back to land on the top of the ravine wall forming Seals as he went.

kane felt his clawed, wind covered hand find its target, but whatever it hit, it hadnt punctured or sliced it.  A rare feat when his dragon claw like wind fists were used.  What the hell was this thing made of?  It couldnt have been just her armour.  Still,  he felt a twinge, as he brought his arm up to guard from the tail, but it was a bit late.  Garret had already wrapped the tail with one of his new toys, and was even pulling off an attack with it.  Lucky for kane.

A moment later, a shadow  loomed overhead.  With that realization, came a splash from somewhere.  Looking at the now present paw of a giant 3 tailed turtle, Kane brought his hands up just before getting smashed with another paw, His body feeling the crushing force of the blow, then being launched into a nearby wall.  

The last blow took its toll on kane, a beating being the fastest way to drain one's stamina.  To top it off, he was embedded in the rock wall now, a giant turtle runinng amuck.  This all combined seemed to push kane that last little step.

With an upsurge of chakra, he broke free of the wall, his body finishing its transformation.  He had dark scale like skin now, rough to the touch, and incredibly durable.  His eyes were focused, as his know full length fangs, and talons flexed in preperation.  His body was slumped forward, and his musculature had grown, increasing his destructive power.  The kicker was,  it was so hard to control.  The only thing pointing him in a direction, he followed, And that just so happened to be garrets voice, calling out for him to attack the monster looming before him.

Without waiting for garrets attack, dragon kane charged forward, his ability to run full speed over the water remained. That was a plus.  But his close proximity had him affected by the electrical transfer.  Sparks bounced along his armoured flesh, still he pushed forward, and jumped at the beast.  The electricity seemed to not even phase him, as his right was drawn back, then released, Whisps of wind flaring around his clawed hand as he attacked.  It wasnt a full wind fist, he didnt have the control.  The fact there was any wind at all gave proof to the training he had done, and the level of subconcious ability he had worked up.

It seemed he was oblivious to jack too,  How troublesome.

The wild wind tore at the tied up beast as Kane's fist smashed home. The blast rippled the water sending it splashing around him as the pressure of the beasts strength pushed against him as if he were trying to punch through a mountain.

Eventually as the power of the punch began to wane so did the resistance of the beast sending its giant mass backward. The wires snapped as it gave a roar that sent another wave of raw chakra outward buffeting into Kane. Slamming its legs into the water it came to a stop and opened its mouth wide.

A giant ball of water began to build up spiralling around as Chakra began to pump into it as its tails bent over like a scorpions. The water formed into as whirling ball but as it reached its peek did not launch like a boulder of power but like a vortext of water instantly blasting so large that it would level the entire area beofre it, relandscaping would be an understatement.

A large explosion of smoke errupted before Kane just as the water and chakra was about to crush him. What seemed to be a giant tortoise loomed over him. its mass as large as the three tailed beast they faced. The water crashed around its shell slitting appart so that the landscape was given two new gashes like a fork.

The water poured down the new lines making a new set of rivers. A one legged man stood upon the turtles head his forehead protector was wrapped around his neck, the rain symbol was slashed through. Though the summon faced away from the three tail the man was now. In one hand he held a giant axe that rested on one shoulder, his other hand was shapped into a seal that was likely the end of the summon.

Two more explosions errupted sending smoke up, into the air. They appeared in the land masses between the new rivers. A giant rabbit sat with white pearls running down long ears and a giant crystal imbedded in its forehead. A woman with a grass forehead protector sat cross legged in the rabbits fur she had Garret with his head in her lap. Electricity seemed to be building up around the pearls and jump between them up and into the crystal.

A roar rose from the other land mass as wind beat the water, a giant black dragon rose up into the air. Atop its head stood a shinobi dressed all in black, his forehead protector was that of the fire country with a slash running through it. His eyes were red and seemed to spiral with three black dots.

"You never could control your beast well. You betrayed me for a man who cared nothing for you and now you have been consumed by the beasts power." The three tail seemed to recognize the old man upon the tortoise. It roared sening more raw chakra outward that buffeted everyone like wind.

"Kane! Control your beast, we will fight from here, you are nto ready to face a tailed beast." The fire shinobi looked down at Kane, to see what the young boy would do. "Remember the training, control ti with your own power!"

The woman stroked Garret's hair with one hand. "He is dying, he used up too much of his chakra and his injuries are internal. We must finish this quickly if we are to save him." As she said it the crystal glowed bright white and then with a crackeling roar a large beam of white light errupted form the rabbits forehead ripping the earth before it and parting the water as it impacted into the three tail that gave up its own battle cry.

The dragon gave a roar from above as the sharingan user made lightning fast seals. A giant spray of an acid like substance was proppeled from its mouth just as the shinobi breathed a stream of fire down it. The acid caught fire creating a strange green and red blaze that scattered all over the three tails burning atop the water like ignited oil.

The beast seemed to deflect most of it outwardly but there was a noticable drop in its chakra levels as it used the energy to defend itself.
