Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kuro and Aka both uttered wordless growls of annoyance as the explosion from Saizo's Ash Accumulation technique swallowed them up. The actual fire and explosion wasn't really enough to hurt them, but it was enough to deflect their own attacks from reaching the Youki. Was Saizo in fact an ally of their prey, was he defending him? If that was the case, Saizo would have to be dealt with first. so be it. Kuro and Aka split up, one arrowing off on a tangent to change her focus to Saizo, while the other remained focus on the Youki.

Aka, who had turned to punish Saizo for his actions, had sensed him go underground to either escape or try a different method of attack. She could go after him, but she paused. Instead, she would wait for him to surface, and then attack in turn. Humans were cowardly creatures, sacred of anything and everything. Including being buried under the surface of the earth. Perhaps it made them think too much about being buried once they inevitably died? It didn't matter to her, it just told her that Saizo would eventually surface. Then she would strike.

Kuro had stayed true to her target and gone after the Youki, though she didn't know that title. Names were irrelevant, he would be devoured soon enough no matter what he was called. He was pulled underground for only a moment, before he manifested more of that strange energy and freed himself. Even after being freed, he continued to attack the ground. It seemed he was still intent on attacking Saizo, too. She didn't expect that would be enough to distract him from her, however. In fact, she was counting on it. She had conferred with her sisters, she was waiting for him to try that same attack he had used on her earlier. She had a plan...

Now, since there were a few underlying ideas behind the opponent's current attacks, it made things more interesting that what they were trying to do was to cast him on fire once again? A pointless effort, he hadn't even the need to look forward into the future and watch the opponent as they did these things. With the measured up effectiveness of his Doujutsu combination, Crius Akasun simply needed to observe his opponent as they went around the basic ideas of their battle, before he could fully put together the correct means to which he would be able to defeat an opponent like this without much of an issue. Now that he had taken the time to watch, observe and plot out the necessary means that were required. Crius found it much easier to plan his current attack in the effects of halting the opponent in their place of defense. With a simple gesture of his hand, he had the hood of his cloak up and over his head once again. Successfully shadowing his face from view, even though the sinister glow of his eyes would show beneath the edge of the hood. With this item's effect, Crius' very position would become invisible to any senses other then that of sight. Therefore, the pursuit driven bubbles that were on their way after him, would actually stop in their position, since there was no opponent for them to follow. Chuckling now, as he casually takes a single step forwards towards the opponent, Crius instantly appeared to vanish from sight, as a thick unsettling haze covered the sky where they stood. Grinning from his now completely invisible location thanks to the use of his Shivering Haze:: Art of Concealment technique, Crius would soon be upon his opponent from the left side, and slightly behind them. A special blade slipping outwards at such a close distance in order to slash out at the opponent. The blade known as Gaidoku. This weapon possessing an interesting ability, which allowed it to be highly effective within close quarters environments. Leading the opponent to be even less likely to block the already seemingly non-existent opponent that was reaching out to strike them down once again, with a single slash that ranged from the upper arm near the neck, to the base of the spine, in an attempt to completely cut the opponent in half. Or at least close to being in half, as it stood.

Akira sighed when the dark came upon him. He wondered how people dealed without being an Orimara. It was also about this time that the Rokubi decided to speak up. "End this fight, boy. Just use some of my power already and stop playing around with him." Akira knew this was right as he felt the demon chakra envelop him. This was not the demon cloak technique that he and the Rokubi shared, but it's unrefined form. The blue chakra could be easily seen by the naked eye as one tail was formed. Hs wounds up till now meant nothing, not wth the demon's power released. He also reached into his pack, bringing out the One Winged Angel keychain and adding it to his katana, transforming it and releasing it's abilities.

Now it was time to start his offensive. Akira quickly poured chakra into his blade and waited. Then it happened. The swing that broke the air and disrupted his chakra aura. He brought up the blade immediately to block the attack at the last second before jumping to the side. He then quickly brought out his soaring shortswords and attempted to blow the haze away with a peacock whirlwind.

As fate be told, the man reacted just as Crius himself had predicted. Using a weapon to raise and block his blade named Gaidoku. The blade itself extended a decent twenty feet past it's already long length, almost like a snake at full strike. The weapon actually lashing out in order to not only slip directly over the opponent's guarding weapon, but also wrapping itself around the blade just after it's inevitable strike would be driving into the opponent's body so easily. Now that the strike was underway, the effects of the weapon's true ability would come into effect, a poison which would cause the nerves of the point that it struck to begin working against Akira, tightening muscle and loosening muscle at random, and sending severe pain across the afflicted zone while the zone is trying to be used. Of course, with the man such as this moving forwards in power and tapping into the chakra of their tailed demon, Crius shook his head slightly, while the effects of his attack would have brought the opponent into what they believed to be an offensive position, with this unexpected entanglement by Crius' blade, and then the all too sudden tug, as Crius attempts to rip the katana completely from the opponent's hands. Interestingly enough, his opponent was attempting to move back and switch weapons. A sad feat indeed, when switching weapons meant releasing the tight grip on the current weapon in hand. Causing a tug of the whip like blade, through Crius' inhumane strength. To most likely be enough to rip the blade from the opponent's hand even as they attempted moving backwards. But why give them the satisfaction of being able to move back and away in order to attack again? Instantaneously after the opponent attempted moving backwards and away from Crius. The effects of the Spirit Prison technique would take effect. This technique creating a cage of spirit energy that would be used to completely trap the opponent within an unbreakable cage, for the most part.Though this cage was a double edged sword, in the sense that no attacks could leave, but also no attacks could enter upon the cage fully enveloping the opponent. Though the fun was only beginning, from the flick of Crius' wrist when he slashed with the weapon he had chosen for his latest attack, a secondary series of particles had entered the air around the opponent. Though not too noticeable at first, these particles would soon find their way to be trapped within the opponent's cage, with them.

[Sorry, I wrote the wrong name, since I was thinking of something else. Does the same thing, just the wrong name. My bad.]

((Reaver: I know how you hate these things so I tried to be as precise as possible. I looked through all of your techniques multiple times around and through most of the techniques in the villages and I could not find a Spirit Prism. I could find a Spirit Prison that sounds mostly identical. Can you point me in the right direction?))

Saizo was nearly caught by surprise. But he noted that He could only keep track of all but one of the slime girls. He looked back in time to see one of them coming at him to attack. He didn't even have enough time to attack. If not for the Mangekyo, he probably would not have had enough time or space to defend himself, deflecting the Slime girl's punch with the side of his sword. "You have got to be kidding me. You are in my village and you attack me?" Saizo had to keep track of how he moved and what he did. With the mangekyo sharingan activated, he was . . . better, but he had to deal with a greater chakra drain than he was used to. That was not something that he ever looked forward to. Within a moment he disappeared in a cloud of leaves, the body flicker technique. He actually only moved about 100 yards away behind the Hyuuga. He looked at him and his eye began to bleed. He casted the Amateratsu on the back of the Hyuuga's head. He honestly hoped that this would be enough to take out the Hyuuga but he still was not sure how the technique that the Hyuuga was using worked, so he was not sure if the black flames would work.

((Yes Maam))

"You're finished."

Was the only thing he managed to mutter as now the wave had completely started to glow over his body. The Golden energy started to raise around him as he pointed his fist towards her. As he focused the golden energy started to turn red.

"I didn't want to tap into this..but it seems as if you won't die...like humans.."

As he started to strike towards her midsection and face only the red section of the energy would attempt to connect to her leaving his own body away from her. He would then lean in with the red energy and start to spin as fast as possible. Creating a Gentle tornado. e would try to suck her up in his vacuum of red and blue energy hopefully. Causing er pain and cutting her off from energy of chakra. This blob of slime was getting in the way of his revenge.

Akira was surprised about the blade's whipping movement. Honestly, he was lucky he had planned out his defense the way he did. He had jumped sideways to the moment his blade was hit. THe blade gave him barely a scratch. His body immediately heated in extreme levels, but fact of the matter was that this was a poison, not disease. He could burn a lot of it, but not all of it. Even with the demon chakra released in his body, he was still going to feel some of the effect of the technique over time, at least until it was completely run through his body. However, the blade wrapping around his own sword, not so simple. blade weakened to the point that it was that flexible wrapping around a blade charged to the point that it could cut through anything, it was like clay wrapping around a copper wire. Still, once Akira realized that it was wrapping around his blade, his reflexes booted up and he whipped his blade out at a speed that can only be described as a blur. Akira gritted his teeth as the nerve agent began to take affect. It was localized in his left arm around the cut for now, hopefully his body could keep it there long enough to finish the battle, but he doubted that. Still, he had another thing to deal with. As his opponent attempted to lock him up a bright flash appeared and the spirit prison closed around nothing. The alchemy sign on the kunai that Akira used to destroy the simulated gravitational field. That was not the only sign that was on the kunai. The Flying Thunder God technique. Still another techinique that he had hoped he would not have to use until much later. Using a single sign, Akira closed his sight down to enhance his other senses. At the cost of his sight that was already lost for now, hearing, taste, touch, smell, all were increased exponentially. He smiled. He could smell the smoke and ash on Crius' sleeve from the flame attack, and the toxic smell from the poison on that blade. He could smell all that now.

The mass of substance below the Youki's feet continued to try to surge upwards, but the energy radiating off of her prey was still too new to her. She was having difficulty learning how to ingest and process it. But so, too, was the energy having a difficult time destroying her. The two forces seemed evenly matched for the moment, making the balance delicate at best. For now, the ground beneath the Youki's feet might seem stable, but if he let his concentration falter, left even a small aspect of his energy projection unfortified, that might prove all the opening Kuro needed to attack and consume. She was focusing on her task, as well, doing her utmost to shrug off and avoid the worst of the energy's effects. Like oil and water, the two seemed mutually disinclined to one another. She could not absorb the energy, but it seemed it could not harm her very much, either.
