 "Ugh.. That was a far too useless imaginary war..." Akai Kaguya says as he walks slowly into his normal village. His cold gray eyes watching what was around him, as he frowns slightly. "This is all there is to do..." He mutters as he sighs slightly, passing into the village with a slow and delibrate grace as he crosses hos arms over his chest. The blades on his body shifting and moving against his body. Doned in his usual plain white haori, and graying samurai styled pants. He moves a hand in a flicking movement, as a kunai almost appears in his hand. [103 Total::1320]

The wind blew a powerful current once more as carbon dioxide, sent from a lonely figure, resting against a powerful trunk of an oak evaporated immidiatly into the boring background. "Quite a place to be meeting, comrade...". The boy's newly worn bright grey hood sloly shifted, mimicing his eyesight that moved it's restless eyes towards Akai that was on the road a little off the boyhimself. Zat, slightly noticing the offencive position that Akai had intaken, swiftly prepared himself as one of the hands that were before lazily hangind down from his body now moved on, barely touching the tiny shealth that rested on zat's side. The painful whispering that before was as faint as the sound of the miniature insects, crawling below in the tall grass was now louder and more constant, almost as the voice and its commander were awakening deep inside his mind. He, obviously thinking that it was the cause of his nstability, was soon proven wrong as the source of the voice was a path of sinister chakra that led all the way from his mind towards....the wretched blade...The legs moved forward, the body followed the motion...towards Akai

"Great, just someone else I have no interest in speaking to..." He says, as he turns his head to the side and looks at Zat rather emotionlessly as far as facial features were concerned. The only thing that was noticeable, if it could even be seen. Was the ice coldness in Akai's gray eyes as he turns to fully face Zat, his movements flowing in the Kaguya's fashion as he throws the kunai with a sweeping fling of the wrist. It's sharp edge aiming for Zat's heart in whole. Akai clearly was not playing around with this boy. Frowning now, he moves forward, an almost unseen bone sliding from his wrist. The Dance of the Achlys skill allowing for him to summon such a pretty much invisible steel hard weapon even while he moved forward. Just as swiftly, his mask formed across his face. The mask made cleanly of bone as he smirks slightly, unseen beneath the plain looking, skull like mask. This was the Honekamen Hensei ability. Which allowed for him a decent amount of control over other bones aside his own. So using such an ability, he gestures with the same extended hand towards Zat, causing the bones in his joints to swell a little, making it painful to walk. Akai now smirks, beneath his bone made mask.

"Speak...". No intention of speaking could be seen in such a conflict. The Call of battle has been sung. As he attempted to run towards Akai to lessen the contact between them, immidiatly the cripling pain appeared around his anckles, his enemy seemingly attempting to tackle him off. He had two targets to eliminate and so, with a simple flick of a wrist, following the other motion his opponent had gave, five finger bullets left his fingertips, traveling at a higher speed then the kunai that was discarted towards his torso. Swiftly the boy lifts a hand, already gripping it in a quick bunch of handsighns that initated Mind Poision. Hopefully the coordination of Akai has been slightly altered for the incoming move. Wihhc gave zat enough time to bring up his tainted defence, which rested on his waist until now. A quick draw might as well saved zat, as he raised the blade, whipping it backwards before unleashing it onto the sprinting Akai, attempting to cross his blade with the kaguya's wrist. He did not yet see, the concealed steel-like bone that rested in Akai's hand, but nevertheless, his wrist would be more important then the weapon that held by it.

Frowning slightly, he makes a series of hand signs, and uses the Gift of the Wise God technique, in order to throw himself into a blind and deaf scenario. Smirking slightly beneath the mask, he twists his hand slightly, using the bone to block the attack easily, even while the pain in Zat's joints spread, to make it painful for his entire body to move. Plunging his other hand forward, a long blade of bone, just as thin and almost invisible as the first, juts form his wrist and plunges it at Zat's stomach. Smirking slightly, he waits for the blade to pierce his opponents soft fleshy stomach. While using these techniques, he then uses the Action taijutsu technique, to thrust a series of swift thrusting motions along with some kicks at Zat's torso and throat. Using the Kaguya's normal fluid movements to keep them in time, and make them more deadly then they normally are when used by other ninja.

Clever spider spins a thread
To make a trap we call a web.
Clever spider knows that she
Will have some insects with her tea.
Humming the rhythm of the poem as it resounded in his head, Kumo stepped off of the Docks and gazed up at the countless rows of rice paddies as well as the trees that surrounded the area around them. "Thinks haven't changed at all..." He whispered to himself, already allowing a rather nostalgic feeling to come over him as he gazed over his homeland.
How long had it been since he had last come here?
Too long. Far too long.
Yet, even if Hidden Sound had hardly changed, the Kidoumaru had had quite a bit of growth in the last couple years, going from a Genin, to, recently, a Jounin. Even if he lacked the vest to signify his current rank, the idea remained that Kidoumaru Kumo had finally earned himself a place amongst the 'top ranks' of the Shinobi. Yet... Even if Kumo had finally ascended to this rank, something didn't feel quite right. The Otonin nin didn't feel strong or powerful or anything like that. He was cunning, yes... But he was far from being on par with the majority of the Jounin, or even some of the Chuunin out there. In fact, the only reason he had survived the bloody exam was because it was more of a mental challenge than a physical one.
None the less, now was not the time to think about all that.
He had his reasons for returning home: the birth of Team Rhapsody.

 Kyoshou Kinuta..."Oy! Kumo-kun! Congradulations!" Kyoshou said with a tackle hug. It didn't seem to bother Kyoshou that he had failed in the first round. He figured that he could always try for the next one. He got up letting Kumo recover as he said "Otokage-sama gave me the approval for Team Rhapsody. He even gave me the responsibility of picking its members! Naturally your my first pick" He said with a wink. "We havn't been given any orders so why don't we go train in the nearby forests? We can think up some neat battle combos!" He suggested enthusiastically. ...of the Twilight Sonata

And so... The peaceful bliss of Otogakure no Sato was broken as the passionate Kinuta collided into the Kidoumaru, knocking him off of his feet. In a moment, Kumo felt the solid ground against his back as he let out a mild gasp of surprise. Using his arms for support then, he pushed himself back onto his feet, rubbing the back of his head as the dull pain soon faded away. "That's great," he replied softly, his nature not quite as outgoing (or loud, for that matter) as the other boy's. As he considered the rest of the Chuunin's words, he paused.
Training? Already? He hadn't even been back for five minutes and already more work was required?
"Sound's good," he then let out a soft snicker. "Just don't whine if you get hurt."
Turning towards the forests then, he started off towards the desired area.

Kyoshou Kinuta... The light had hit Kyoshou so that his shadow resembled that of a fox. Kumo's comment about getting hurt caused the shadow to shudder with laughter. Apparently the thought of getting hurt was a joke to the Kyuubi. Kyoshou merely chuckled at the comment. " I think your forgetting I'm a medic nin." With that they ventured into the forest. After they'd gone deep enough Kyoshou turned and said " Here's good. So now that your a Jounin Elite, do you plan on specializing in anything? ANBU? Hunter Nin division?". Kyoshou was rather curious on his abilities in Taijutsu. He had never really practiced. What better way than fist fight someone with six arms? Kyoshou pulled back his sleeves so that his hands were revealed. After making a string of hand signs, he mumbled " Chakra Scalpel." He then crouched down into a fighting stance waiting for Kumo to ready himself and answer his questions. They were rather important if he were to be a member of Team Rhapsody. Kyoshou was already a medic nin so they didn't need another. ...of the Twilight Sonata

Slowing to a stop, Kumo allowed his eyes to wander around the forest as his mind pondered in his response. "Either... ANBU or a Hunter Nin," the Kidoumaru declared several moments later as he too, got into battle mode as a layer of liquid gold began to pour out from his skin pores. Evidently, the Armor of Sticky Gold was already coming into play. Of course, this was merely to counter Kyoshou's Chakra Scapel; the Six- Armed Jounin would need to protect his body from the irritating attack.
"I want to protect my village, but I think my skills might be well suited for hunting down felons too, ya know?"
By the time his gaze finally settled on Kyoshou, his entire body was covered, leaving only his eyes revealed as he then turned his body to face his comrade and sparring partner. "I take it we shall begin unarmed for now. Kyo-chan?" He inquired smoothly, but instead of waiting for a response from the Chuunin, he leapt up into the air, his leg extended as he descended down upon Kyoshou with the Bruising Sky Leg technique.

The pain slowed his movements, but nevertheless didn't break them. The boy makes a slight step forward, placing his foot on top of Akai's, as his chakra pattern slightly changes a small plug like bolt winds town into Akai's trapped foot. As the forward step set him into motion, zat uses the momentum to slightly shift his torso to the left of the main stab that aimed towards his stomach. The initating portion was done, and as the terribly pain inside of him begins to pressure on, zat grabs his opponents wrist pulling it backwards, straight behind him, also placing Akai's chest awfully close to him. Such a move spins the boy a little bit and while attempting to go with the force, zat forces bones to conjure out of his body, attempting the dance of cactus. Seeing as how the foot was trapped, the escape out of this scenario would be hard on Akai but Zat did not go unpunished for the responce, as the taijutsu action puncutred his left side, chipping the bony insides that were in quite major pain already. Whatever justsu was causing this uncontrolible feeling it had to be stopped before the fight would come to his own loss...

Without even faltering as he began to be trapped. He pulls his hands away, making hand signs though not too many, before breathing a swift flash of ice with the Frost Breath ability. In an attempt to freeze Zat solid. Grinning, bone erupts from his foot, in order to either pierce through Zat's foot, or just make him move away. With a few more hand signs he used the Channel ability. Literally using his own chakra to force both Senbon bones and Zat's hopefully frozen form away from himself.

Kyoshou Kinuta... "I think you'd be best as a hunter nin. Ya know. The Sniper, assasin thing you seem to have going there." Kyoshou said with a hearty smile. "Awww your no fun!" Kyoshou teased seeing the crusty golden armor form on Kumo's skin. This would be a lot more difficult if he couldn't sever the tendons and muscles of Kumo's extra arms. Kyoshou kept his ground as Kumo launched himself in the air for the devastating leg strike. It seems he would need to borrow a bit of the Kyuubi's immense strength. He began flushing the 9 tail's chakra into his arm muscles getting ready to counter the attack. He held up his arms in a defensive 'X' form. His strengthened muscles were just the padding he needed to absorb the shock from the powerful kick. Kumo's leg connected with a loud but hollow boom. The attack definitely hurt but Kyoshou was already braced for the attack. "My turn!" He jeered. With one hand, he grabbed Kumo's leg which was still planted on the other arm. Kyoshou's buffed arms swung kumo around his head like a rag doll for a seismic toss. He released his grip sending the spider nin flying towards the trunk of a nearby tree. ...of the Twilight Sonata

Kumo let out an amused whistle as he gazed down at the jinchuuriki that had blocked his attack. "Taking it head on? If you didn't have the powers to back yourself up, I'd have dubbed you an idiot, Kyo-chan." Yet, if Kyoshou had said anything in response, Kumo had not received it, as a moment later he felt his body thrown about as if he were weightless... And several seconds later, he was released. In that few seconds before impact, he managed to do several things:
One, draw out a single wad of clay and stuff it into the mouth on his palm. Within the moment, it was spat out in the form of what appeared to be a fat spider. Throwing it in front of him then, Kumo made a seal, allowing it's size to expand to double the size of a cow as it appeared on the tree- side. With that, rather than colliding with hard wood and tree bark, Kumo met the soft feeling of molding clay.
"Not bad... But, speaking of the 'sniper assassin thing'..."
As the clay spider marched down from it's spot with Kumo on it's back, the Jounin gagged as a golden rod protruded from his gullet. Extending two hands to grip it, the Kidoumaru soon pulled the golden bow from his mouth, and an instant later, he had set an arrow into place as well. Drawing the string back, the Otonin fired off the golden projectile towards Kyoshou.

The sense of danger began to flash in zat's mind as his leg was punctured by the rock hard bone summoned by Akai. As he spun immideatly, the frost breath began to slow him down, almost freezing him still. One side of his body did not listen to him at all, but while the other side, still crying from the pain of the bones and the foot that was trapped along with akai's foot all thanks to the foot trap that thankfully came through no matter the wound. Zat makes one last spin, before putting most of his weight onto the injured foot, thus also placing it onto Akai as he recoveres from the dance of cactus, and making a clockwise turn towards his opponent once more. Seeing as how the frost breath was still working, akai would expect zat to be forced off by another jutsu that was made, but seeing as how he was as much trapped as Akai the only intelligent thing would be too keep on attacking. Durring the spinning proccess, the boy rose his still working hand and while feeling the effects of the paintful tortue, his chakra moved up onto the fist, creating an explosion effect. While the exlposion fist was created, zat morphed it into a specific point, thus rendering a blood clot chakra needle in front of the explosion fist build-up. If this backfist landed on where zat projected would be Akai's neck, the damage would be considered as a greater wound, but this was not a killing strike. A small concience was still about zat as he knew that Akai was a part of his own team and nevertheless drago, his leader would not be happy if this battle would end in someone's death. This strike was meant purely for leveling off the battle as his body already felt numb, and the parts that were still active were weeping in pain. He needed this landing and the boy knew if this were to be dodged the only thing that could save him would be him...
