Just a confirmation?

[LmnDrp]

The man flying overhead noticed them despite Itsuki's attempts to evade perception. "Fuck," he thought to himself, just then the entire environment around them turned into some sort of theatrical battleground. Is this a jutsu of this guys?! I've never seen anything like this, where do these nukennin's keep coming from?! he thought to himself as Takeo passed him, asking him to analyze the opponent. "On it... um, ew... his blood cells, scratch that, all of his cells are somewhat rhombus shaped. This dudes a freak of nature!" As the man engaged and disarmed his teammate, Itsuki kicked into action, attempting to get beside his ally. "Here," he handed Hakahori to Akimoto, "lose my baby and I'll kill you before this bastard gets the chance." Armed with his Ishuu, Itsuki waited for the rogue shinobi to approach again.

Itsuki is the greatest in the world, woo-hoo!!! BRY of W&&R, ADOX, and PIXP

"ENOUGH." Akira yelled.  His body was nearly seared before he disappeared being replaced by a puff of smoke Kemuri Bunshin.  The searing orb of flame scorched the smoke causing it to dissipate.   Hishigata.  Kemton: Doku Kitai - Smoke Release: Poison Gas.  Akira started to approach from one of the far corners of the battle field.  About fifty Rhombus shapes blades floated above his head and smoke poured from his mouth bathing the space around him in smoke as he approached.  Kemuri Ittou  As a final protection Katana made of smoke started to levitate and rotate around Akira.  A torrent of blades was not levitating around him as the smoke enveloped his person.  He waited in the darkness for a moment before preforming a sneak attack Kuro Hashiru - Dark Dash  Akira disappeared into the shadows of the newfound battlefield before flipping down in front of Takeo making four strikes with his smoking blades.  As he finished his attack, he threw ALL of his throwing Rhombus at Itsuki in a double helix pattern.  The blades twisted and REE'd as they approached him.

---

Akimoto watched in fear as the attacks were made.  When Akimoto noticed Akira throw his Rhombus at Itsuki he noticed an opening for an attack.  Akimoto sprinted into Akira kneeing him in his chest and punching him in the face.  Akira looked stunned and pissed off.  Akimoto used that moment of pissed off ness to kick him in the face one last time.  "I knew it!" Akira said.  "I knew you were from that god forsaken lab.  After we capture that Bijuu.  I'm coming for your head... Akimoto."  Akimoto froze as memories rushed back to his head.  He remembered the laboratory burning.  He was just an infant.  His parents rushed him outside as explosions went off in the background. 

[Takeo]

Kokuun

Takeo

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions."

Takeo's jutsu made contact with Akira and the chuunin took a mental note of its effect. Despite successfully landing his attack the nukennin seemed to avoid it with kemton jutsu. Before he knew it the rogue ninja was practically vomiting smoke out of his mouth. That smoke is filled with his chakra, worried Takeo as he held his breath to avoid the smoke. The chuunin continued to back away from the permeating smoke, but his Sharingan trained in on a mass of dark chakra dashing at him. The teen took a short breathe before Akira flipped down attempting to attack Takeo. In response to the flip, the chuunin used Raiton Chakura Moodo. With his enhanced speed the Takeo retrieved his gunbai from his back and used it to block the four attacks. Akira followed his attack on Takeo by launching shapes at Itsuki. Akimoto successfully intercepted the evil man and not only punched him but kicked him in the face as well. Takeo used his raiton cloak and the opening created by Akimoto's kick to dart at Akira. While the stranger was speaking as if he knew his teammate Takeo went to grab Akira by the throat with a quick movement. Immobilizing the man for a moment would allow Takeo to use Magen: Kasegui by making eye contact with him. This genjutsu would replicate the world surrounding Akira but drown out everything but one sensation. Large rusted spikes will be continuously driven into the man's skin while he's trapped inside of Takeo's illusion.

Itsuki watched as poison began to spew and plume out of the man's mouth and build up around him. Itsuki immediately made moves towards Takeo's position as this occured, imagining that he'd have the superior defenses against such an attack, seeing as he used both Fuuton as well as his Gunbai. Though, in the midst of this he was descended upon by a series of fatally dangerous rhombus-shaped shuriken. Quickly, he launched into an attack, Ishuu no Mai, as to defend himself by striking the incoming attacks before they could do any damage. He succeded, mostly, only getting knicks, cuts and a few punctures from the ordeal, leaving him bloody but standing nonetheless. Alright, FUCK this guy, Itsuki thought to himself as he angrily stomped towards the man and activated his Chi no Yoroi and Saiboutate Henka: Yoroi on the way. Closing the distance as the others delivered a series of blows onto him, he charged forward and utilized the same jutsu, yelling "Ishuu no Mai!" as he did so. As the man was paralyzed from Takeo's attack, this left him vulnerable to this buzz-saw-like taijutsu technique. As the man went down, so did his artificially created battleground. Though with this came another unfamiliar and intimidating face...

Knowledge is power

KAMAKIRI IS KNOWLEDGE

Kamakiri had been travelling with Akira, the two had been deployed by the Mizukage to intercept the nukennin that they had hired to gather intel on the shinobi in Hi no Kuni as well as their defenses in place and protocols, whatever they could get their hands on. However, the worm and the jester weren't compatriots, they were criminal partners, keeping a distance was a given. He allowed him to fight for himself, and fall by himself, giving way for him being able to achieve his own goals, he actually planned on killing Akira out here and then kidnapping the kid but he was glad he didn't have to get so messy. Utilizing Doton: Dochuu Senkou he had been residing underground waiting for an opportunity to strike, waiting outside the range of the young fox's Sharingan purposefully. I have been expecting you, he thought to himself as he emerged and ran at his top speed. As the trio stared down at the beaten Akira, Kamakiri closed the distance between them quickly, arriving about 10 meters away before stopping. He spoke to the young shinobi, "Hey! Oh you guys beat my teammate! Looks like I'm obligated to start pleaing. How about this? Hand over the 9 tails and go back to your village, or I will kill you two and take him! How's that sound?"

Akira fell to the ground after sustaining the blows of his opponents, he was used to Genjutsu but couldn't truly free himself.  He watched the outside world and defended himself slightly from Itsuki's blows only managing to deflect about half of the strikes with his two swords as the iron spikes were drove into his body.  Pain enveloped him but apart of him found the pain satisfying.  He laughed to himself in the Genjutsu.  He laughed and laughed and laughed as the pain only reminded him of how he slaughtered so many people back at the lab.  As he reveled in horror his chakra started to burst inside of him until he became free.  He stood up slowly and realized that Kamikiri had arrived. Did I make a good distraction oh mighty one? Akira tossed aside the petty Longsword and started to levitate while holding his wounds he was getting tired.  "I must rest great wormy!  I'll keep an eye out for reinforcements AHAHAHAHAHA!" Akira started to switch places with nearby rocks rapidly toward the forest leaving behind a series of his signature chakras which glistened in the sunlight before fading away.  Akira found himself leaning against a tree holding his blood in his body.  He chuckled to himself.  I'll find you again Akimoto, and next time you'll be a corpse.

Akira dipped bc he's weak asf currently.

---

Akimoto quickly ran to pick up his Longsword. Yes! I've missed you.  He quickly sheathed it and drew the bow Itsuki handed to him.  He aimed one of the blackened arrows at Kamikiri just in case he tried anything.  "We don't have the 9 tails idiot!  We're just low level ninja on a scouting mission why don't you go crawl back in the hole you came from!" Kamikiri's alien like eyes stared right through Akimoto.  It was like his eyes were listening to him.  This is where the ominous music would kick in.  Kamikiri walked slowly toward Akimoto.  "Hey back off don't make me use this thing on you!"  Akimoto drew the arrow against the string nervously.  Kamikiri stopped and looked back at Takeo.  "You're friend is a fool if he thinks he can bluff his way out of this.  Now what's it going to be?"

Akimoto lowered the bow.  ............ what the fuck do we do now?

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions."

The trio's teamwork was impeccable, and without a moment passing they all came together to strike the silver haired man. When the series of blows were delivered to Akira's immobilized state Takeo expected to be done with this mission. Out of the corner of his eye a lanky man approached. He created about thirty feet between himself and the chuunin trio, and the strange man was threatening to kill Takeo's teammates and kidnap him. Meanwhile, Akira broke free of Takeo's illusion and began to float above the group. Of course they're in kahoots, considered Takeo in thought as the two rogue shinobi conversed with one another. Great wormy, wondered Takeo as he starred down the tall man, yet as he focused on the new enemy the old one fled from the gorge. Akimoto immediately began to deflect acting as if the trio did not posses the nine-tails with them. It was as if there was a knock at the door that is Takeo's mind because Kyuubi began to speak to the teen. "From here I can feel this guy's chakra, he's trouble. I'd love to be freed from your mortal coil, but, and I can't believe I'm saying this. I would hate to see you go out in such a painful way," Takeo could feel the odd smile on the fox's face from within his body. "This guy seems to be all sorts of strong, let's get in a defensive formation," announced Takeo to his comrades. The chuunin began bringing forth large amounts of chakra causing the air to pick up around him. Takeo dug his feet into the ground and called out to Kamakiri, "If you want it so bad, come get it!" There was a warmth exuding from Takeo's body that surrounded him and his friends.

He panted, heavily, that was Itsuki's ultimate taijutsu attack and it took a lot out of his physically, it was strenuous on the body not to mention taxing to his stamina. This was why he was stoked to see his attack not only landed but incapacitated his target, causing him to flee. Though, his excitement was tarnished by the near immediate replacement nukennin, some lanky and gangly looking white haired man. "Alright guys, let's get on the defensive! We can do this!" he was confident in his abilities to defend his friends, despite whatever grand strengthi his opponent possed and how badly his muscles and bones ached and felt like they were going to permanently rip and tear. His mind flashed back to memories of defending a very young Takeo during their time in the ninja academy, bullies bothering him, jealous of his natural gifts being a Kokuun. He and Takeo always had the shared quality of being distinguished from those around them, this made them gravitate towards each other and within that bond grew many more similarities and complimentary traits, they were old friends. Akimoto was close to Itsuki as well, seeing him as somewhat of a rival, he was astonished by his physical capabilities; as much as Itsuki was a specialist there was simply things he can't physically do, no matter how crafty he can be. He cared for his teammates deeply. Activating all of his defensive jutsu, Chi no Yoroi, Saiboutate Henka: Yoroi, and Raiton Chakura Moodo he finished it all of by performing Chigiri no Jutsu. As the trio became inveloped in Itsuki's blood, he thought about how weird that must be for his friends and chuckled once, and then dug his feet in the ground with his friends ready to stand his ground.

Knowledge is power

KAMAKIRI IS KNOWLEDGE

Kamakiri simply smiled as Akira left the scene, take your time! I'd rather not be intruded, hahaha he thought to himself. Though, he did happen to hear Akira speaking to himself and this variable changed his intentions a tad bit. He looked at the boy who had picked up the blade Akira dropped and examined him entirely using his Saibougan and Ongengan. "Akimoto, yes, my memory is impeccable. I simply did not care to remember before, thank you Akira for enlightening me! Oh boy, what should I do!" Kamakiri spoke aloud, to himself, entirely ignoring the statements and actions of what he considered to be prey with extra steps at this point. Hm... maybe... maybe I should just corrupt them! Then erase their memory of ever meeting me, seeing as I don't want to kill the nine tails, nor a lost but now found specimen, though this other one may get in my way... Ugh! Tedious! For a moment, Kamakiri caught the boy, Akimoto staring him in the eyes and cast a jutsu subtly, Magen: Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu. He simply stepped to the side, watching as the boy shot an arrow at where the man once stood, laughing. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!", Kamakiri proceeded to create 4 other Kamakiri clones and surround the shinobi. "Sorry boys, all of the shinobi spoke in unison, I intend to make this quick," then the one that was approaching them from the center at a walking pace.

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions."

"Are you seriously even trying to use my power against this creep," roared Kyuubi from inside of the chuunin's skull. I won't only be using your power, thought Takeo in response to the fox who quickly snapped back. "Well, if there is anything I like about you. It is that stupid tenacity and perfection," chuckled the tailed beast as he began to grant Takeo more of his chakra. The ground beneath the chuunin began to crack and spread apart as Kamakiri walked towards them. Takeo was conflicted with how much of Kyuubi's chakra he could use before he lost control of it. The last thing Takeo wanted was to cause his friends harm, but he knew both of them would tell him to go all out without worrying about them. The teen used Shoki Jinchuuriki Moodo as he continued to tap into Kyuubi's charka. This jutsu formed a wispy cloak around the chuunin; continually, Takeo now had the mastery to use this cloak and not crawl around on all fours. With Kamakiri still walking towards the trio Takeo began to feel a large amount of Kurama chakra gathering in his lower back. Takeo screamed out in pain as he used, Shakuton: Mittsubikou Kitsune summoning three two meter shakuton tails from his lower back. These tail's broke through the three tails formed by his chakra cloak and replaced them. Takeo extended two of the tails to six meters and attempted to smash them over one of Kamakiri's heads.

Akimoto twirled around Hakihori in his arms.  Not bad, this should do.  His flourished the blade in his hands and pointed it at Kamikiri with his knees bent.  He looked at his friends, whom were at his side.  Feelings from the past started to shoot back into his mind.  Old memories, close moments, and the possibility of a future... all of that is in jeopardy.  Akimoto looked at his friends.  He looked them deeply in their eyes as they both looked forward at their opponent.  Itsuki had a fire in his eyes, like he was ready to die,  Itsuki's chakra started to flow, Raiton chakra flew from his very person as well as other enhancing jutsu.  Akimoto balanced Hakihori over his shoulder with the blade pointing at one of the four clones that started to surround the team.  Chakra started to billow out from Takeo, the air itself was moving.  Is this our final battle?  Akimoto often asked himself that question in dire situations.  He looked at Takeo.  He as well, had a rage in his eyes, a cold, and bitter rage.  Akimoto trained his eyes on the opponent.  Green chakra started to flow from beneath Akimoto's feet...

"B-bokuwa Makenai!"

勇敢な-Yūkan'na - Braver!  Akimoto leaped into the air, from above he could see his teammates pulling off their own attacks, Takeo released his bijuu.  NO! Akimoto could feel their chakra melding with his own, as he slammed Haikihori down unto one of the clones, the clone easily dodged his attack by rolling out of the way at the last second.  Akimoto chased the clone floating slightly above the ground as he moved.  "Try getting away now!"  凶 Kyo - Cross Slash Akimoto swung Haikihori like a paint brush slashing 凶 over the clone, only the first two strokes crossed over him before he managed to dodge again.

[LmnDrp]

Itsuki waited within his blood mist, Saibougan activated with a clear view of his target. This creepy individual who posed a real threat to him and his friends. God, can't we just catch a break? We should be fucking Jounin after this! he thought to himself furiously. He noticed as one of the clones approached him from his right side, Itsuki decided to approach him just the same. The two engaged each other in the mist, Kamakiri doned a wicked smile as he approached. Maybe he can sense me in this, that's why he could pin point me so well... no, my chakra should mask that too! He then took a closer look as he and Kamakiri faced off closly with Itsuki's Ishuu and Kamakiri's katana respectively. "Oh shit!" he yelled out as he dissipated his blood mist, "this fucking guy has the Saibougan AND that weird Ongengan thing! Shit! Shit!" he yelled out. Just then, Itsuki was sent flying off of his feet by an unseen, but very well heard, force. It blew out his eardrums, his ears now ringing and bleeding, he lay on the floor in a daze. His Ishuu at the ground beside him, Kamakiri approached slowly. "You have the Saibougan, child? Interesting bunch here..."

Itsuki is the greatest in the world, woo-hoo!!! BRY of W&&R, ADOX, and PIXP

[LmnDrp]

Knowledge is power

KAMAKIRI IS KNOWLEDGE

The whole of the Kamakiri's approached the mist, ready to disassemble whatever defense or offense the group put up to stop him. 1 Kamakiri trained on the brat with white hair that he cared little for nor about, 1 Kamakiri trained on the escaped lab rab, and 3 Kamakiri sent to detain the fox having a temper tantrum.

The one trained on Itsuki engaged him and made quick work of him, though he did find it quite interesting that the boy possed the Saibougan. "A diverse group indeed! The picture of equality, you should add a girl to the group! Any of you homosexuals? I'd wager to guess... the black one, to spice it up!" He continued to goad his opponents.

The one who was meant to face off against Akimoto was actually met with a frontal assault. That's the spirit kid, show me what we did to you and how it affected you! he thought to himself as he spoke aloud as he dodged most of the attacks that came towards him. As he was struck by two swift slashes, he jumped back spilling a bit of discolored blood from his arm on Akimoto's face as he did so. "There we go you little war machine! This is exactly what I wanted you for-- oop! Sorry if that's confusing a little, your parents probably didn't tell you much, they probably compartmentalized the whole things the silly little bastards. I should pay them a visit! Tenkaigakure was it?" As the next swing of a blade came Kamakiri used Doton: Kengan no Jutsu and caught it, shattering it between his two hands. He then swiftly went to uppercut Akimoto as a follow up.

The three clones of Kamakiri watched Takeo closely and intently as they approached with careful steps. The nine tails... thoughts raced through his mind at this moment, but that was at the forefront. All 3 of Kamakiri drew their katana, though only the one in the middle utilized Hien. This was as a way to sort of throw off his opponent through the differing weapon lengths. The original Kamakiri made sure to be a part of this group as they pursued their prey, and incidentally was the one targeted by Takeo's tail attack, though he dodged out of the way in time. The original Kamakiri stood back up after rolling out of the way of an attack and utilized Wameku Ganma, screeching at the top of his lungs attempting to put Takeo and the rest of his teammates under this powerful genjutsu. Though, the real big ticket was the Nine Tails.

[Takeo]

Kokuun

Takeo

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions."

Takeo himself was quite surprised to see the strange man make quick work of his comrades, but Kurama began over exerting his influence. Three versions of the strange man were rushing Takeo and all brandished their katana. The chuunin's Shaingan could see that the one in the middle used chakra to lengthen the blade, but Takeo was struggling to think straight in the current moment. When his two shakuton tails missed Takeo immediately pulled them back and began trashing his three tails around him. The ground beneath him began to melt away and his tails continued to rile about near the clones. Out of nowhere, Takeo's mind was filled with intense screams and harsh noises. They were on max volume and there was no turning them down. Not only did the immense pain affect Takeo but also Kurama. The teen dropped on all fours and his tails extended to ten meters each. They began spiraling around him causing the air to pick up. While on all fours Takeo began channeling a massive amount of the chakra Kurama granted to him and used Bakuyaku To-Chi from his mouth. Like a miniature bijuu bomb Takeo formed a roaring orb of Shakuton chakra. In his enraged state he launched this jutsu at Kamakiri in the distance. The condensed orb launched like a rocket and created a sizeable explosion of scorch release chakra. Meanwhile, the ground beneath the chuunin was crumbled and melted due to his thrashing tails. After enduring the sound genjutsu for so long Takeo completely passed out. He collapsed to the ground, and he could no longer make use of Kyuubi's chakra. His cloak began to disperse along with his three tails that retreated back into his lower back. The teen had minor burns and abrasions on his body.

Akimoto’s body moved as quickly as it could, but he just couldn’t keep up with the clone. His sword started to feel heavy as he was dragging it in the air after kamikiri. When he felt his blade drag across flesh his inner dialogs cheered. The strange blood splattered in his face. “Wha-“ the foreign fluids interrupted his words as he felt a swift literal rock of a fist strike him in the jaw. He flew into the air and twirled before slamming into a tree snapping it in half. He laid on the earth damaged and unconscious. His last thoughts before sleep were of his friends. The names Itsuki and Takeo repeated in desperation to restore his memories of them before his inevitable unconsciousness. The handle half of his sword flew to the side when Kamikiri smashed it, it lies dug into earth ominously next to the unconscious Takeo.
