Akira smiled. "That is true, but when all one lives for is revenge, does it really matter the end result?" With that Akira snapped a finger dispelling all of his clones and his illusion, revealing that he was acting as one of his clones for the last half of the battle. "My village then, Im sure you will be able to find me. And if you don't then I will simply find you, one way or another. Until the continuation of this battle then." With that Akira preformed a string of hand signs and floated away, seemingly on air. In his head, Akira really wondered if Tsugime, who was so unwilling to face him here was really willing to continue this battle.

Demon wandered for a bit through the hiden waterfall, looking at the vast places he could go to, unlike the leaf village it didn't really seem to compare to it, but the kage of this village would most likely disagree. Demon had heard there was many tevhniques to learn in the hidden water fall and he wanted to learn them. He was walking along when he felt a large disturbance, it was omnimous, large and dark."What...what is that" he said looking into the sky.
"Demon, whats wrong" cizu said looking over at him.
"It's something, something not good" demon said putting cizu on his head as he began to run towards the docks.
"Demon, where are you going" youri yelled
"Stay here" demon yelled as he ran to the docks to see what he thought would be an adventure of his life.

As demon had just began his training back in the real world he sighed."What now" he thought to himself as he entered the village hidden in the waterfall, he rembered he had been here before but simply had just thought of this village as a foot stone for him.
Moving farther into the village he came across a man who seemed to be lost."Hey there, could you please point me in the direction of the kage of this village" he said
The man turned to face demon."You wish to talk with the kage, then you must know many water jutsu" he said in reply, the man was very old.
Water Collision Destruction1/9
"No actually I don't" demon said with a sort of awkward smile.
"Then you cannot see the kage, he only sees those who have mastered many water jutsu, if you wish to speak with him then you must learn at least 5 water techniques" the man said to him.
"What, how am I suppose to learn these water techniques" demon said looking at him, he had no idea where to learn such moves and even then who to learn them from.
"I can teach you boy, but at a price of 5,000 yin" the man said with a grin
2/9
"What, old man that's alot of cash" demon said looking at him in surprise.
"Yes but think of it, the lkage of the water village knows many water jutsu, if you met him and learned from him you may be invincible" the old man said with a grin.
"Do you really think I'm so naive" demon said looking at him with a blank expression.
"Well it's your loss kid, I was only trying to help you" the man replied as he begun to walk away.
3/9
"Wait, what if I said ok, but I'll pay you afterwards" demon said with a grin.
"Fine kid, lets just get started" the old man said, he then quickly made a brush of handisgns, then all of a sudden water appeared from the ground, demon was amazed at the power of the man."Whoa" he said with a grin
"Now then kid, you saw the hand signs right, think you got this" the man said looking at demon.
"Yes shouldn't be too hard" demon said with a smile, making a brush of hand sgins like the man had done.
4/9
As the water at a nearby edge seemed to react demon huffed, nothing really happened, no reaction really occured besides the movements of waves."Heh, need a littel work" demon said with a smile
"Well kid, I'll be sitting here watching if ya need any type of help" the man said walking and hoping into a tree.
Demon stood there for a second thinking. "Water, is the opposite of fire, I need to be a little less amped up, stay calm and do what I need to do without thinking and rushing" demon said in a low tone."I need to stay calm" he said walking into a nearby lake.
5/9
"Getting used to the water is what's needed now" demon said relaxing his body, his feet started to seep downward, it was like he was being eaten by the very water. As he got lower into the pool he held his breath, opening his eyes while he was under water he relaxed.
"The kid, he's figured out the elemnt to learning water jutsu already" the old man said looking at the events that were happening under him.
6/9
Under the water demon looked around."It's so serene, so amazing, so this is how water truly is" demon said looking around, he then began to perform hand signs. The water began to move and wave back and forth at extreme speeds.
"Amazing, the kids using the water as a balise" the old man said watching.
As the water churned, it hit a tree, making it crash and fall over, people stopped to see what in the hell was happening, under the water demon was concentrating vast amounts of chakra.
7/9
As the water began to move around demon making a sort of funnel he smiled."I'll show you, I can master this no problem" demon said with a smirk on his face, it had turned into a whirlpool, the water around him had become a huge funnel.
"The kid......the hell is he" the man said jumping from the tree he was in as it was hit by a crashing wave.
"Demon smiled"I telling you this for your own, the closer you get to me right now, the more danger you'll be in" demon said smiling as he jumped and the water crashed causing a huge wave.
8/9
Back on solid land demon smiled."Let's try this again" he said making the handsigns, no water was near him what so ever and he wanted it to be just like that.The air around him began to moisten as he looked around.Water soon surronded his body, seemingly coming from nowhere.
"The kid did it, in less than a day" the man said in awe.
The water around demon went and whirled and twirlwed. Demon controlled the flow with his hands and a smile. Making it crash into the ground with a splash."Next" he said looking at the man.
9/9

"Well kid, I must admit the was pretty damn impressive that you mastered a jutsu in such a short amount of time." the old man said smiling at demon.
"Well, I told you, I have a very large number of things to do and learning this one measily jutsu is nothing compared to the other things I've had to endure and deal with" demon said looking at the old man.
"Well kid, let's get started on the next move" he said walking into the water with demon.
Tornado of Water 1/10
The man breathed inward."You've already seen how the power of water acts, but now it's time for you to use it to it's fullest power, pushing the power of water to it's limits is what you must do." the man said looking at demon.
"I see, let's see what I have to do then" demon said watching him.
The water under tyhem began to churn and twist as the old man made a wide variety of hand signs "Let's go" he said smiling.
2/10
The water began to twist just as it had done when demon was training."What's going on" demon said in an alarmed tone.
"You've got to learn how to react in the most sudden of situations, that's the power of a true ninja, the power to react to any situation and deal with it." the man said looking at demon, the water began to form a funnel under him."Let's see how good you are in difficult situations" the old man said with a smile
3/10
As the water began to rise demon hopped back."Just because your old dosen't mean I'll take it easy on ya old man" demon said smiling as he began to do hand signs creating two clones of himself. Running forward they all threw kunai.
"Kid, these kunai can't touch me when I have control of water" the man said with a smirk, moving his hand in a forward motion making the water head straight for demon.
"Whatever old man" demon said making the handisgns he had seen by the man a little while ago, the water under him started to form the funnel but nothing happened.
4/10
"Heh kid you still need alot more training to fully control water" the man said with a smirk as the water headed straight for demon, it slashed thorugh him, or who he thought was demon, the clone of demon poofed."The hell" he said allowed looking around.
"Nice try" demon said with a smile as he was now over head.He perfomred a series of hand signs, the air around him moistened, creating a large volume of water, which he forced to go downward.
5/10
"No you don't kid" the man said, who did this kid think he was to actually go an try to use a water jutsu on the man who was teaching him, the kid had gutts that was for sure. He quickly forced water to come up from beneath him, causing the incoming water attack to be stopped and mixed with his own.
Demon came down on top of the water with a smile"let's go" he said looking at the man.
The man quickly did a brush of hand signs, the water starting to churn and twist."You really want to porvoke me huh kid".
6/10
"And what if I said I did" demon said looking at the man.
"Then you've doen it" the man said as water began to move and twist again into a very large and huge funnel, even bigger than before. Demon smiled."It's on then" demon ran forward, making a large number of hand signs.The water under twisted under him as he ran, making a funnel simialr to the one the man was making.
"No way" the man thought in his mind, there was no way the kid could have learned the jutsu in such a short amount of time.
7/10
Demon smiled"Yes way sir" he said as the funnel began to lift into the air causing a twister to form in the air, demon could only smile, he had actually mastered this extremly hard jutsu in such a sort amount of time.The twister began to head towards the man.
"Kid, your summin else" the man said, he quickly performed hand signs to counter the incoming technique, as a very large twister was forced upward from the water.
8/10
The two twister began to get closer and closer to one another as it did it seemed to gather the attention of others in the village. "Look" a young boy said looking at the immense volume of water that was clashing at a not so far distance away from the village.Other villagers stopped to look at the two, this was a training session that would be ecthed in the villagers memorys.
Demon smiled"This is getting really good" he said, the curse mark on his neck began to move."No, not this time, I will not be a puppet to that man" he said forcing the mark back into it's regular form
9/10
The tow twisters finally went downward, water crashing into the water under them. "Kid, you know what, you might actually be good enough to clean my house" the old man said after there intense training session.
"Well I hope your sack is fit for a king, because that's what I am" demon said walking over from the water.
"Ha.....kid let's get moving" the man said moving away, it wqs dark now and cold outside, demons training would continue tommorrow.
10/10

The next day demon came out of the old mans shack with a smile on his face."What's next" he said looking at him, yesterday he had mastered two techniques of the old mans in less than a day.
"Next is a more simple jutsu kid, you've already learned how to manipulate water right, well now I'm going to teach you how to do it on a massive scale, but in order for me to do that you must first learn how to control water on a smalller scale" the man said with a smirk.
"But yesterday I created a huge twister from thinn air and now..." demon stopped talking as the old man had a spiral of water pointed at his neck.
Water Dragon Whip 1/8
"Kid trust me, water can be a very deadly element, you better watch what you say" the man said with a smirk.He took the water spiral from demons neck and headed out to the lake they were in the day before.
When demon looked into the water he smiled, but he noticed there was a girl about his age training in the water and she didn't look to bad either"Hey, who's that old man" demon said nudgng the old guy.
"Oh, thats nel, shes really talented in this village, people say she's going to go really far and I believe it.
2/8
Demon smiled"Ok, I see" he said looking at her.As he walked on top of the water he sighed, this training was going to be long and hard, but that's what he had hoped and wished for, to train to become more poweful was one of his aspects.
"Hey, ogi, hey" the young girl said turning to demon and the old man.
The old man turned to nel."Jello nel, I see you out there training" he said with a smile and a wave. As he continued to walk.
Nel smiled, but then had a surprised look on her face."Who's he" said said in a puzzled sort of tone.
"This is..." "Demon inuzuka" demon said jumping in without the old mans permissio.
3/8
"Oh, well I hope your good if ogi's teaching you" the young girls said looking at demon.
"The kid sucks nel, he wasn't like you, you were amazing" ogi said lookin over at her.
"What, you gotta be kidding me" demon said in a rebuttle."I'm pretty damn good if I say so myself" demon said looking at him with anger."And I'll prove it right now, that jutsu from earlier, I'll fight you only using that" demon said to ogi in anger.
4/8
"Kid, you've got a really big mouth" Ogi said looking at demon with a smirk, he knew the kid would really try and probably achieve what he said he would do, but then nel butted in.
"You talk to ogi in such a manner, you better learn some respect before I force you too" nel said looking at demon.
"Respect, he started it, and no one's going to do anything to me, especially not you" demon said looking at her.
"Then let's see right now" the girl said looking at demon
5/8
Demon quickly hopped back and began to make the hansgins from before"Let's go" the water began to quake shift and move. He made the water force itself upward."You think your so hot, let's see" he said with a smirk, the water quickly went upward into a twister, a jutsui demon had recently mastered.
The girl smiled."Such a weak technique" she said in a over powering voice, she quickly performed handsigns to counter act the recent jutsu sent her way., the water under her quickly turned into a serpent moving forward at the twister.It struck it and both techniques fell back into the water.
6/8
Demon smirked"Good, but now I'm a bit closer" he said as he made handsigns while running forward, the water quickly began swirl and twist, it soon consumed demons right arm."Now then what'd you say" he said as he quickly whipped the water forward, at the girl.
"I said you better show respect" she said right back, quickly perfrming handsigns as the whip came closer, she hopped in the air to dodge it but she felt something grab her leg."The hell" she said in a low tone as the water jutsu she was about to do stopped.
7/8
"You best reconsider what you do" he said, his whip had connected with the water and with the mass of water he could extend the water to any length, lookined at her he released his grip."Let's just say I won this" he said with a smile looking at her.
"You didn't win anything, you just got lucky" she said looking at demon angrily, walking away."Don't worry, I'll even the scote one way or another" she said looking at demon once before she completely walked away.
"Yea Yea" demon said in a lazy tone, he didn't even realize he had just mastered the jutsu, looking at ogi he smiled"So what were we saying"
9/9

Walking almost aimlessly away from the docks that had lead him to his village. He sighs as he wanders into it. As usual, there was really nothing to do around these parts, most were off training with someone, or by themselves. He was learning more when he was fighting earlier. Slowly Samael shrugs as he heads into the actual village and to a place he prefered to call home. Of course, he was not exactly the type to remain in one place, and once this village became useless to him, he may just end up leaving entirely, in order to search out better things to do. Naturally, he hadn't learned the dark secretes this village possesses, so he could not rightfully turn about and leave it now. Slowly rolling his shoulders in a shrug, he decided to go train with others that were learning the same thing he was, in the same way. Excessive battling. He chuckles, before racing off for the battle field, that was known as the training grounds. Upon reaching his destination, he raises an eyebrow, for one in all of the experience he had in this place, there was not one person training! He gasps lightly in surprise, before cursing his bad timing. This was obviously a message, for him to go train elsewhere, he supposes. Though instead, he skids down the slope to the training grounds, and decides to do some solo training, until ninja begin to arrive, and help with his training, in the easiest way possible. Fighting. Smirking slightly, he wlaks over and starts assaulting a well used training dummy. Though it soon began to crack under the constant toll of being a training dummy for so many people a day. This really was a well used place. No good equipment left. Perhaps someone should use their talents to get some money into this village? He shrugs that off, as he heads over and attacks the next dummy.

Samael twists in stance, drawing the broadsword from his back and slashing swiftly, in order to cut the dummy he was training with in half. This was sad, he couldn't even both with this sort of training. Nothing was even partially eventful here, perhaps he should leave for another area, and train there? After all, experience is something he lacked as well. Having not been in many true fights, there really was no reason for him to simple move around unnoticed and then kill his opponents without a care. This was a time for action. Turning on his heel, he began walking towards his intended target, the docks. Sighing lightly to himself, he headed up the slope and then walked slowly towards the docks. His broadsword rested in his hand easily, as he walks. Not too much longer and we would be good, heading to another destination, and then to train, or gain a second heart, in order to keep his immortality. Stepping onto the docks, he moves onto a boat and takes a seat. This was dull. Nothing to do, no where to go. It was rather boring, and not worth the training he really needed. He slowly shakes his head, as he places his broadsword across his waist and leans back where he was sitting on the boat. "Hurry up and move..." He says to the driver of the boat as he closes his eyes.

"Will you be paying for this through cash or ******** you, Kakuzu... You're gonna make for me pay for this too? s**t... cash. Send me the bill later."
"Shut up, medical stuff and drugs dont come cheap. By the way... You know, one of the others have been saying Asura's started crying a lot recently. Perhaps you should go check on her before you head out again," The giant mumbled as he turned away from the nude, bandaged form, tucking away his medical kit as his eyes turned to face Furanken, his eyes narrowing.
"I had full intentions to do so," Furanken muttered, wincing as she got to her feet, seeing as medical jutsus were not Kakuzu's forte, yet he managed to reconnect the major fractures. Dressing herself, the blonde threw on her washed coat, stopping on her way out to retrieve her katana and cleavers as she exhaled loudly. "Thank you, Kakuzu," she muttered swiftly then before striding out of the room silently, aside from the occassional wince or grunt. Despite the pain, she couldnt stop now... Especially now that she knew the child was in pain. She eventually slowed as she arrived in front of a house, her house, but kept on moving as she pushed the door open, and within the instant, was greeted by the screams of a crying infant.
Sighing, she limped inside, dismissing the tall, thin babysitter that had been sitting beside a small cradle. The sitter, evidently pleased by the arrival of the child's mother had disappeared within an instant, the door shutting behind Furanken as she started towards the bed, her hands extending into cradle as she carefully took the infant into her arms, smiling as she heard the child hush almost immidietly.
"...There, there, Sweet Asura," She whispered, the gruff, vulgar tone that usually inhabited her voice now gone as it was replaced by a surprisingly gentle voice as the blonde warrior leaned forward to press her lips to the infant's forehead. "Mommy's here..."

Kakuzu's Tendril Sewing Threads-600 Skill Points biggrin ark tendrils are located within Kakuzu's body to stitch his body together. Using this technique he can extend the tendrils and use them to sew together the body parts of his comrades.
Komen took a break from the training in with the ANBU trainer. He was going to train Komen in the ANBU arts, but komen decided to hold off on that and go ahead to search the lands for techniques that he wanted to learn. He had learned so many destructive arts that he was longing to learn some simple, and complex techniques made for healing. He decided to make his first stop here in Hidden Waterfall. He had heard that their was a shinobi here that could mend anything together with thread that was laced within his body. Komen Usai wasn't looking forward to placing threads in his body, but he had a substitute, his chakra connection technique. He walked through the village and finally caught up with the shinobi. Komen Usai bowed to him to show respect to him, "Would you please teach me the technique to mend yourself and others around?" He siad as the man looked him up and down, "Hmmm...I will if you pay me." He said as Komen Sighed. He had also heard that this man was also in love with money on a ridiculous level. Komen Paid him and began to learn the technique. "You will need to implant these special string through out your body." He said as Komen stopped him, "No I will substitute with these." He said as he held out his hand. The various tenketsu points in his hands started to push out various thick strands of Chakra. Komen smirked as Kasumi seemed to not really care. "Ok, since you are doing this, you simply need to weave in and out of your skin or another. You must also remember to weave through the blood vessels to keep the blood moving and the person alive. Well, that portion of him or her." He said as he demonstrated by unraveling his hand and pushing it outward with nothing in between, "If you become a master of this technique, you might be able to do something like this." He said as he pulled his hand back since he was done teaching him.

"Hmmm... She's finally asleep," Furanken whispered, exhaling a transparent cloud of smoke as she removed her pipe from her mouth, turning it upside-down before she gave the kiseru a soft, but sudden tap, effectively emptying out it's conents as she turned back to the new babysitter, this time a woman who was slightly older than herself. "...This should be enough to compensate for your services, correct?" She added, handing a small money-filled envelope to the sitter, earning a slight nod moments later, causing the kunoichi to smile. "Excellent. I've given you all the details, but before I go, do you have any questions?"
"Just one... Why exactly are you heading off? I mean, it really isnt any of my business, but shouldnt a mother remain home with her child and watch her grow?"
Furanken blinked, almost caught offguard by the question, but as she let out a slight sigh, she smiled before raising a pair of fingers: "Two reasons," she answered calmly as she lowered one finger. "First off, if I have utterly any hopes of supporting my daughter, I must have the money to give her everything she needs to survive, and in this world, work and payment go hand in hand...My work simply requires me to go outside of the home. Second, in my line of work...There is a man whom I must deal with," she added vaguely as her final finger went down as well. "And I must still train and get stronger before I even hope to confront him. Thus, I must go."
"I see. Pardon my inquisitions."
"Take care of Asura and you're forgiven," Furanken added in a much more serious tone as she then turned away, beginning her march towards the dock, her pale fingers soon wrapping around the handle of her katana, squeezing it tightly.

After locking himself away in the hollows of the gargantuan tree that overlooked Hidden Waterfall, Tsugime had finally emerged. He was still draped in his plague doctor rags, hidden behind a long bird-like mas. He called a meeting of all the shinobi however few their numbers were. They had but two hunter nin. Four ANBU. The rest were basic Chuunins with no unique skills of their own. The Kakuzus would definitely be Watefall's most poweful asset. They were gathered along the sandy shores just in front of the tree as Tsugime looked down from the hollows. His voice seemed amplified a hundred times but that was mostly due to the acoustics of the basin where Waterfall was situated. Despite the raspiness in his voice, it seemed very dominant "For too long as Takigakure has been regarded as a weak village. A war zone caught in the crossfire for greater nations. This ends today. We will show the mighty force of the Watefall whose constant never-relenting power wears down even the toughest of stones. Our numbers may not be great but what we lack in volume, we make up in potency. We begin our conquest with the Village Hidden in the Blood, expanding ourselves into Crimson Waterfall County. Our strategy will be to surround the village, then choke the life out of it. Kakuzus...You will follow under my leadership. Everyone else: Move out. " Their numbers looked more like a large gang as opposed to a small army. The ninja scattered out in different directions towards the village entrance. Tsugime lept out of the tree ahead of them. Making their way through the complex caverns of the village entrance, they finally reached the waterfall entrance. One by one the ninja began emerging from the pool of water like amphibians buried beneath the mud waiting for the rainy season. They scattered into the forest knowing very well their destination as Tsugime and the remaining Kakuzus began their straight march towards the Hidden Blood village entrance.

Upon arrival, he was just in time to hear the words spoken by Tsugime. Grinning slightly, at the prospect of war. He almost greedily follows the orders, moving with the pact slowly out of the village and towards Hidden Blood. This was a slightly unexpected, yet interesting occurance. He planned to make the most of it, by learning Hidden Blood Tehcniques, in order to counter those used in the village. That would be a worthwhile chore. Even if it was in the heat of battle, if he were to see a technique used enough against him, he should be able to use it himself, without much trouble. He nods to himself, as he follows his village to war.

Momiji and Kozumi arrived just in time to heed the call too war. "Heh, I've been waiting for a chance to get a good work out, are you ready to move out as well?" the taller nin asked his lanky companion. "Of course I'm ready, there are so many beautiful things you can do with a good amount of blood," Kozumi seemed perversly overjoyed at the thought of going to to war with the hidden village of blood. He was almost skipping as they headed out of the village, Momiji simply rolled his eyes following behind his strange stalwart companion.

Jin Orochi had noticed that the village lie hidden behind the utmost giant waterfall he had seen in his life. "Impressive." Jin said as he left the boat and headed towards the library. he studied on various destructive water based jutsu. After he took his notes, he left the village.

After the battle had come to an end Raiken decided to head off after Hidan and Sidan. As Raiken looked around the Hidden Cloud forest he began to grow dizzy and slumped to the ground. he grabbed him head as he slipped into the black abyss in him mind, home to him Beasty form. "What now?" "Whatever do you mean?" "You know what the heck I mean. What's with the headaches?!?" "Don't get ticked at me because you have a headache!" replied Beasty Raiken smiling as Raiken frowned at him. "To tell the honest truth I actually did cause your dizziness and headache. Why? I can't really say but I am certain someone has scratched the surface of awakening me. I shall soon be free and you shall be locked away within my mind until the end of our... excuse me, MY days." "I thought you couldn't break free without me growing stronger?!?" "I assumed such. I don't know how any of this is possible really. Maybe my true master has arisen to claim me. I doubt you are my master since you are so insufficient. We'll soon see what exactly is occurring very soon. Maybe even by the end of the Chunin Exams.""I won't let you get free so just stop it. You think I'm not worthy but you're wrong... One day you'll see that-" "Whatever Raiken just go back to your whatever... wait... Do you feel that?" "Feel what?" asked Raiken as he felt something pulsate on him back. "Now I know you felt that. Check your bag." replied Beasty Raiken as Raiken snapped back to the forest and searched through him bag. After a moment he pulled a skillet from it. "What's this? I don't remember this being in thime." "Hey you... I know you hear me now listen up kid. That is called the Odami Skillet and was once wielded by a woman by the name of Okami. Last name unknown. he specializes in elemental based attacks. Your type of summoning aye?" "Summoning? Okami can be summoned?" "No I just said that to make a funny... Of course he can be summoned! Now since I'm trapped inside your mind I can't help you find him scroll so he can be yours but that skillet can." "How can a skillet-" "Quiet girl and listen to what I say... Okami is very powerful and can only be summoned with him scroll. For some reason that skillet is pulsating which may mean that the skillet is hime. You must find it.""Why should I?!? I have to find Sidan and Hidan!" "Fine then. Miss out on getting a special summoning like Okami." huffed Beasty Raiken as Raiken continued to search. "What we gonna do wit him once we catch ha? We're outlaws as well." "Dodunobu my dear friend... you're the outlaw not me. But at any rate I am in as much trouble as you so when we catch him then we shall disguise ourselves and turn him in." "You so smart Tutsoni. I'm glad I teamed up wit you." replied Dodunobu as Raiken hid in a tree above them. "Thime they are... is that Tutsoni?!? No way! He's trying to catch me? I'll show him what for!" thought Raiken pulling a scroll from him ninja belt. he quickly summoned a few items and vanihed. Sidan whimpered in his cage that Tutsoni made using a special jutsu. It was small and cramp which made it hard for Sidan to move. Beside him was Hidan who was tied up real tight. "Stay quiet... don't make a sound I came to save you guys." whispered Raiken as he appeared behind Silvia and tried to cut his ropes with the kunai he had summoned. As he was near to freeing him Tutsoni appeared behind him and put a senbon to him throat. "Raiken Yoshitaru... my former pupil. It seems as though you have learned little in your time after I left you. Never underestimate your foe." he smiled slitting him throat. Raiken vanihed as two logs lunged toward Silvia, Kratos, and Tutsoni. Each log was held up by a bundle of flamable wire. Silvia broke free and grabbed Kratos's cage and ruhed out of range. Meanwhile Dodunobu Body Flickered over to Tutsoni, grabbed him, and vanihed. Raiken appeared behind Silvia and they both vanihed. "What was dat?!? A ghost or somethin?!?" "No my illiterate friend... that was him." "Illiterate?" "Don't waste brain cells. We must find him." replied Tutsoni as he vanihed. Dodunobu scratched his head a bit then vanihed as well. Meanwhile Raiken appeared in a forest clearing with Silvia and Kratos. Silvia put the cage down as Raiken pulled a senbon from him hair then a kunai from him ninja belt. Raiken stuck the senbon into one of the grooves around a cage bar. he then pressed the kunai onto the senbon and kicked it upward. The lid lifted up a little which got Kratos fired up. He yipped and yipped then leaped up and knocked the lid off. Raiken picked him up and hugged him as Kratos licked him face. After their heart warming reunion the three started towards the docks. As they did Raiken stopped causing the othims to as well. "You guys go on and head out... I have some things to do." Silvia turned around and began to speak but noticed Raiken wasn't going to allow him or Kratos to aid him. He picked up Kratos and ruhed away as Raiken turned around and looked at the sky above. "This Okami," he thought trying to speak to him Beasty form. "who is he?" "Now you wish to hear me out aye? Well then fine... he is an ideal wife for any man. he can cook like nobody's business. By day he is a lowly chef at a secretive diner-" "A secretive diner. You sure you know about Okami-" "Do you want me to help you or not?" "To be honest you really have no choice." replied Raiken walking farthim into the forest. The two argued a while before Raiken came to a large mountain and stopped. "It is said he spent him days over that very mountain side whime he lived." "Why are you speaking in past tense all of the sudden?" "Well... because he left him home a while back after rouge ninja went after him. They wihed to own him power and use it for their own gain." "Really? What happened?" "Well when they realized he would not stay still while they captured him they created a scroll." "This seems kind of farfetched." "ONCE THEY DID SOOOOOOO..." started Beasty Raiken annoyed. he paused to show he was waiting for Raiken to stop interrupting. "Alright... sorry." As Raiken travel up the mountain Beasty Raiken continued to speak. "Okami grew enraged at the thought of being controlled. Ironic since he controlled the elements but eh. Whenever a ninja attempted to summon him he eithim injured them severely and fled or killed them and fled. They only died due to the extent of their injuries. After many years he evaded the eyes of fearful ninja and hid away somewhime over these mountains. No one has heard from him since... no one but one." "And who is that?" "The skillet-" "The skillet isn't a person are you nuttso or something?!?" "It doesn't have to be a person to have met Okami. This is one of him sacred skillets." "Then why isn't it with him?" "I don't know... maybe he dropped it. I don't know everything about Okami." "This leads me to believe you don't know anything about him." "Well that's a possibility but I'm your only lead... me and that non-talking skillet of course. You can learn what it knows if you don't trust me. Oh wait! You can't because it doesn't speak." "Alright, alright. Just a little furthim and we'll be over the mountain." replied Raiken as him Beasty form quieted. The skillet began to pulsate more and more the closer Raiken grew to the top of the mountain. him eyesight grew weaker and weaker due to the clouds beginning to cover the area. him breathing grew heavier and he knew the altitude of him location was taking affect on him lungs. A figure grew nearer and nearer but due to Raiken's blindness he knew not of the figure. "Raiken? Are you a complete and utter moron?" "Excuse me?!?" "Even within your mind I can tell you that these clouds aren't ordinary clouds." "What?" "Use your head Raiken I can't hold your hand no matter if I am a part of you or not. Think about whime we are and what we're doing. I'm done now. I will no longer help you. You're on your own." "Wha? Wait you can't!" thought Raiken but him Beasty form didn't respond. The figure was now behind Raiken and had its arm raised above him head and had a blunt object in it. The figured quickly launched its attack and tried to strike Raiken when he suddenly vanihed. Raiken reappeared behind the figure and took out a kunai. he quickly attempts to strike the figure when it vanihed. Raiken took a guess and threw the kunai to him right but was incorrect. The figure appeared to him left and kicked him. Raiken flew for a way before hitting the ground and feeling the ground disappear. he knew that he had skidded off a cliff and was dangling by him kunai that he had stuck into the ground. The figure motioned near him and stood. Raiken looked up at it and started to climb back up when the figure kicked him, knocking him off the cliff. As Raiken fell he performed a series of hand signs. "I can't die. Not now, not like this. I won't let this be the end of the line for me." thought Raiken as him skin suddenly turned to rock as he hit the ground maybe twenty-eight feet down."Poor child... the life I live is a sinful one the lights of which I am deeply scornful of. I... hmm? he's not dead. he has survived and by generating a rock armor of some kind. Hmm, this girl is different from most I've seen. I think I'll feel him out a bit." said the figure to itself as Raiken stood from the crater he had made. he had created a new jutsu from him original Elemental Clone Jutsu called Elemental Clone Jutsu: Ability Stealing. he had taken him rock clones rock armor trait which took a lot of chakra but was worth it. "You're... you're Okami aren't you?... In that case I wish to make a bargain. I know I have no right doing so and I apologize but I need your help. I feel as if thime will be a major battle between certain organizations and that little good will come of their fighting. It has simmered down a ways but is still threatening to daily life. I want to grow stronger to end the fighting and help to re-unite the land. I know that's a big job but someone has to do it." "I shall accept your bargain. What is it exactly?" "If you defeat me in battle I shall leave you be and never attempt to claim you ever again. But if I defeat you then you must become my summoning and aid me in my quest." "Tempting. I could state that that bargain is simply ludicrous but I have taken quite a liking to you. Sadly your bargain is far too high on your part because I shall not lose. I haven’t lost since... well never and I won't now." "Heh, we'll soon see." replied Raiken as he started to run up the mountain towards Okami. As Raiken approached Okami looked at the skillet that stuck out of him backpack. "I was wondering why he seemed special to me... that's because he is. he found my skillet. he is my destined owner. But... he wihed to bargain and I agreed so I mustn't back down. Even if he loses the bargain still stands. he shall never own me and I will be free to do whatever I deem worthy." thought Okami taking out a skillet of him own. "This fog you see hime was my creation." started Okami launching a fire blast at Raiken. "I ingeniously created a water spout, from the water down below in the Hidden Cloud River, then combined it with the endless heat of my skillet in order to create a dense fog." he continued as Raiken continued towards him. "Do you know what happens to rock when it's heated immensely? It turns to molten rock." continued Okami as Raiken lunged towards him. Okami quickly created a water spout as Raiken ran right into it. "Heated rock, which turns to molten rock, turns to hardened rock once cooled. You shall become a statue in many terms." laughed Okami noticing Raiken had finihed a series of hand signs. "Elemental Clone Jutsu: Rock!" exclaimed Raiken as the rock hardened. Nothing could be heard and no clone could be seen. Okami walked over to Raiken and smiled widely. As Okami approached Raiken chuckled under him breathe. Once Okami grew close enough Raiken's rock armor formed an arm that grabbed for Okami. "What the?!? A rock clone with no color? Impossible." said Okami. The clone tried to grab him by the neck but Okami pulled backward. Suddenly a clone burst from the ground and reached for him leg. "Enough!" exclaimed Okami creating a powerful water spout beneath him that knocked Raiken and him clones away from him. "Maybe I should have summoned more then just two rock clones. But I was being cocky and foolish. Next time he's mine." thought Raiken happily as he and him clones landed a ways away. Okami suddenly became shrouded in smoke once the water touched him large skillet. After a moment or two the area was covered in Rain and Raiken couldn't see a thing. "Use your skills from Hidden Rain Raiken." said one of him rock clones, telepathically, to Raiken. "Yeah, the Rain is close to your element. Besides, you've got us elemental clones on your side. Focus and don't lose." included the othim. Both were underground forming plans to defeat Okami while Raiken stood fearfully in the Rain. "Stop this quivering and fight like you know you can. You weren't born to die for nothing so don't. Like Neji always said, 'If you're destined for great things it's because you never stop... you never give up. No matter the odds you keep on moving and never let your dream die.' I will not lose for I have yet to reach my dream." said Raiken lowly putting up a hand sign. "Rain Instantaneous Body Skill" whispered Raiken focusing him chakra. he increased the smog so that not only him but Okami as well couldn't see. he figured that only him clones had an advantage that way and could launch a better hidden sneak attack. Suddenly a huge gust of wind blew through and eliminated the smog. As it did Okami launched an electric blast at Raiken attempting to hit him. Raiken's rock clones quickly appeared beneath Raiken. One fused with Raiken to form an armor while the othim took the full force of the electric blast. Once the blast struck one of Raiken's clones was completely destroyed and Raiken was flung backward. Okami stopped him water spout and landed on the ground a few yards from whime Raiken once was. Raiken banged him head on the side of the mountain ledge and knocked unconscious. him rock clone was mangled and needed to regenerate leaving Raiken defenseless. "Those rock clones are quite durable but not durable enough. They're destroyed now and I have won. I feel as though I owe him though. I guess I'll take him to my home village and leave him. Then they can heal him and he'll be on him way." thought Okami growing nearer. Raiken quivered as he got to him feet, him rock clone remains cracking and crumbling from the electric blast. "How is he doing this? him will is strong-" "I won't be defeated that easily. You're going to have to try better than that if you wish to win." mumbled Raiken lifted him head showing he was fast asleep.Okami noticed Raiken's rock clone was quickly regenerating and grew fearful. "What is that thing?" "An elemental clone... rock based obviously. It can regenerate itself until it is completely destroyed like my othim rock clone. It can also increase in size but only through the use of blood. I made it and use it often. Some say I depend on it but when you make something that no ones ever seen then you would too." replied Raiken appearing behind Okami. "I won't go easy on you even if you are a very special ninja. I will fight until I have reached my limit." said Okami vanishing and appearing to Raiken's right. "As will I." replied Raiken as they both disappeared. Clinking and clanking could be heard all around. The two began to fight with kunai and went blow for blow. When Okami swung him skillet at Raiken, which was cradled in him left hand, Raiken would counter with him left foot and knock it away. Once Raiken did so then Okami would attempt to strike him with the kunai he had in him right hand and Raiken would flip behind him releasing Okami's skillet. Then once he got behind him he'd attempt to stab Okami in the right of him neck with the senbon in him right hand. Then Okami would toss him skillet into the air and vanish then launch a fire or electric attack and Raiken would vanish. They continued to fight and fight until they grew tired and just stood and faced one anothim. "You're... huff huff... really good." "...huff huff... I'm flattered you think so... huff... young one." smirked Okami as Raiken stood up straight and opened him eyes. "You're... huff huff... the most amazing young ninja... huff... I have seen in some time... huff..." “I try... huff... I just wish I could have kept on going... huff..." "Whatever do you mean? ... huff huff..." "I'm too tired to... huff... continue... I've reached the end of... huff huff... the line... my limit in othim words... huff... I have only a little chakra left and my injuries... huff... have taken their toll on me... huff huff... I just can't... I can't... go... on..." replied Raiken collapsing to the ground. Okami smiled slightly finally catching him breath. he then motioned towards Raiken and lifted him up. "I hope this isn't just anothim trick because I am done fighting as well. I've never thought you'd last this long. I know we made a bargain but I can't say that I won. If you didn't pass out first then I would have. But my maternal instincts wouldn't allow me to do that. I would be honored to be your summon. When you awaken then I will give you my scroll and it shall be set in stone." continued Okami carrying Raiken down the mountain as Tutsoni and Dodunobu watched smiling. Okami took Raiken into the village as people gasped. "You murderer! You killed an innocent girl!" said one villager. "You're a menace who should die in the cruelest manner!" said anothim. "I have not done what you believe! The girl is alive and I have come for help! him injuries are severe and he needs a place to stay!" "Liar!" yelled all the villagers in reply. "Enough of this foolishness!" said Tutsoni in an old man disguise. "Despite what Okami has done in the past this young girl has been injured! We must first think of the child before we all try and jump on Okami!" exclaimed Tutsoni so everyone would hear. Some of the villagers asked who he was while othims and othims ponders on if he was new and how he knew about Okami. Raiken moaned a little trying to tell them that that old man was Tutsoni but him words couldn't be understood. Despite the villagers distain for Okami they allowed both Raiken and Okami into the village. Kamataru, who is Tutsoni....
