Welcome to Gaia! ::

"So be it." Ifuuki snapped. With her left hand she threw a black bag into the air and with her left she threw a scalpel at it. It burst as she ran at Onryou with more scalpels in her hands and it spewed out an acridic purple smoke that spread quickly.

Eiju smirked at Akira as he said, "A true warrior knows his limits."

Eiju's eyes flash for a second as he stood perfectly still in the face of the oncoming wind. Kasa made a few seals as he disappeared underground.

The wind hit EIju ans seemed to pass right through him. That was until his image blurred and became a many Eijus moving in an erratic arc before they all disappeared from sight.

"Apparently you don't know yours," Eiju said, suddenly behind the now aquatic Akira. His face no longer showed the playful amusement that he had previously had. It was replace now with kind of insane, vicious fervor.

"You should know better than to challange a master of the Sekireigan (Eye of the Wagtail). You can't hit what you can't catch" Eiju had barely finished speaking when his hand seals were done.

A torrent of electrical energy flowed forth from Eiju's hand as he said, "Your death courtesy of many dead Outatsu, nothing can escape my eyes!"

Eiju thrust his hand forward so fast it seemed in two places at once, aiming to fry the now watery Akira

Asakura swerved around in 0.53 seconds. In that short amount of time, Asakura's tattoo blazed with the same erratic chakra that caused the water around him to boil but in that same moment, his chakra paths became visible through his skin, as if they were channeling the light of the sun. The light grew stronger as it moved up through his belly and traveled into his finger tips. The light vanished as soon as it came. He extended his index finger to stop the fish.

Bishamon-ten...

Space rippled around his finger and Asakura rendered the fish inanimate.

He climbed out of the bay.

"Why didn't you do that in the first place?" Sabu replied between deep breaths. "I thought you were conserving chakra like me."

The ground burst open in front of the last water clone as Kasa came fromt he ground, his sword pointed to deprive the clone of it's chest....

Eiju saw the clone run and Kasa burst out to kill it. His eyes darted around for a moment before he smiled and became a swirl of wind.

Then, a moment later Eiju appeared next to the last Akira, his kuani glowing in wind chakra as he poised it next to Akira's throat. "Definitely a very interesting ninja. Too bad you have to die..."

Eiju was cut short by a third ninja landing about ten yards away, black and red robs billowing for a second before they settled. "I see you haven't lost you touch Eiju," said Tenka as he brought his gaze upon the two, his eye almost all white except from the thin line of an iris and his pupils.

"And I see you still feel the need to interfere in matters that are not you own Tenka." Eiju said as he kept his eyes on Akira.

"Boy, what business do you have here? Speak the truth," Tenka said to Akira, locking his eyes with Akira's.

The Observing Akira gasped, Kasa's sword shooting through his chest, his eyes widening, blood spraying ********..." he gasped, reaching to grab onto Kasa and hold himself up.

Meanwhile, the Fleeing Akira stood still, Eiju's knife at his neck, without flinching, without moving.

"So, which of us is the bunshin, Genius?" Akira grinned, leaning towards Eiju, the blade cutting into his neck, blood trickling down his neck and chest.

"Because that guy over there, he's bleeding to death, but I'm still alive." Akira smirked, pointing to where the other Akira stood, Kasa's blade passing straight through him.

"And if he's the original, I should be gone now, right?" Akira beamed, stepping back and turning to the new arrival.

"You want the truth?" He winked, moving to him slowly.

"The truth is this. Your friend here, this guy," Akira smiled, motioning to Eiju, "he's nothing but an egotistical idiot, and I've been playing him like a flute for God knows how long now."

"And Kasa," Akira motioned again, "Another moron."

"To be honest, I can see why they fear you." Akira smiled, turning back to Eiju.

"So much power, and so much ******** stupidity in one body." He chuckled, moving closer to him.

"You really are ******** pathetic." Akira smiled, moving right up against Eiju and winking.

"This is what you and your eyes failed to see." He laughed, exploding into a rain of water.

As this happened, the Akira that had been stabbed by Kasa smiled, his eyes cast to the sky and his lips curved gently, eternally.
He toppled sideways, slammed onto the floor and burst open, water spraying upwards in a fountain like motion for several seconds.

The illusion ended.

Seeing that her tactic proved unsuccessful, Ifuuki tuned the reflexes in her legs and timed a forward flip as the spikes shot toward her. With unbeleiveable accuracy she flew forward and caught the blade with both her palms while avoiding a painful impaling. Her normal games would make no appearance against such a skilled opponent, as a single mistake could mean disaster. She grabbed the sword by the hilt and pointed it at Onryou. "Don't consider this battle simple. You may not be fooled by my tricks, but believe me, you are going to get much more than you bargained for."

Sifu walked up to the east face of a large building and froze it with a touch of his hand, and in the next instant shattered the wall with a massive blow. "Where is she," he asked himself as he walked the halls of Headquarters looking for Yinko destroying everything as he went.
