Two children giggled merrily as they stood beside the river, throwing stones and sticks in to see which would float the furthest.
One child grabbed the other one's shoulder and pointed upstream, a series or ripples emitted from the water, a strange bubbling was to be seen.
"What is it? Some kind of a monster?" One child screamed, hiding behind the other.
The water began to part, the riverbed showed clearly as the water rose from the river, suspended in mid-air. From the bottom of the water came a hand, it slid out gently, followed by an arm and a shoulder, then a head, another arm and eventually an entire body.
The person stood there, his crimson eyes locked on the two children. He moved slowly, his body ached terribly, one hand forced some kind of ring onto a finger, his entire body strained as he pushed himself out of the river bed and motioned with one hand, the entire river dropped back into the canal instantly.
"Uncle Akira!" One of the children yelled.
Akira locked eyes with the child and licked his lips.
"How is your father?" He chuckled, forming a single seal.
"He's goo-" the child began. Akira swiped his hand across suddenly, the boy's chest tore slightly a small cut opened.
Akira formed a few more seals and his fingertips glistened, his Soul Lines had taken root in the child's chest.
"You...your father... everyone..." Akira smiled psychotically.
"I AM THEIR DESTINY!" He grinned, yanking back his hand, the strings pulling tight and all of the moisture in the boy's body being ripped out harshly, his entire being dehydrating instantaneously.
The second child screamed, turning fast to run, but not fast enough.
Akira's arm was across the boy's throat, with a sharp jerk the child's neck snapped in half, leaving him dead on the riverbank.
Akira looked towards the large walls of his hometown, his eyes glistening.
"It's so good to be home..." He smiled.

String_Theory [[The whole "massive tug to free itself" didn't work huh? I'll send you a pm about the swords]] Onryou looked as though he was done for. As Ifuuki slashed through him though his body faded and was immediately replaced by a new Onryou behind Ifuuki, his blade poised to stab the back of Ifuuki's head and come out her face. Onryou offered no explanation for his sudden burst of speed or his body being unaffected by the poison. In fact he offered no explanation at all, but one thing was certain, he had played Ifuuki like a fiddle. ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ Akira looked incredibly annoyed at Chiyo's deceit. "You said no funny business lady, I don't like liars." ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ Taki move quickly and quietly through the landscape on her personal mission. She carried with her two swords that were not her own. They were heavier than the weapons she normally used and longer than were usable in her line of work. Still she knew the man who had used them was incredibly skilled with them, more skilled as a kenjutsu user than most she had met, even at his age. She was shocked at her luck when she came upon the man and ninjas traveling with them. She was still a fair distance behind them when the ground underneath the ninjas exploded and a spider grabbed one of them. the man who's sword she had and a lizard summon managed to move clear of the spider but they seemed to be at a stand off. Taki decided that it was time to revert to her stealth training and began moving as quite a humanly possible as she began weaving a genjutsu to make her blend into the surrounds and inched closer to the developing situation.... As Onryou's sword stabbed toward her head, Ifuuki vanished in a puff of smoke revealing a log where she was standing. "Some of the oldest tricks are the best." The sword in her hand continued to pull away from her and would prove to strain her muscles if she hadn't exerted control over the area. "Fast aren't you? Then I suppose escape is out of the question?"

Silly Genji Dragon Sneeze Silly Genji Dragon Sneeze Nova Blancke Nova Blancke (( Since noone payed attention to it ima using mah hax! xD)) "Almost there" Tobasu said to his team as they dashed towards their destination. They were already close by. The group reached the back of the temple. There was a lot of chakra in the air along with alot of water vapor. "Damn...what's with this vapor?" Ganeni said as he looked around. "It seems I was right...this is were it is..and this is were everybody is. There have been many fights nearby..." Tobasu said as he was brainstorming every possibilaty of what could have happened here. "Masayuki, Ganeni, Issui, scout the area but stay in range of eachother. I think Ifuuki-chan is here...I will take care of her. Don't worry about me...I'll be fine" Tobasu said as he gave the order and dashed to the front of the Temple. Masayuki nodded and shot forward. The landscape was dotted with evidence of battle and the ground was wet as if a great storm had passed. He kept his eyes open. Chiyo whispered into Shinji's ear. "Do you know the differance between a caged bird and a free one?" Shinji instantly though of his clan's ritual. "Yes." Shinji said, running next to Akira. "What are you getting at?" Lifting up her shirt, she revealed a summoning tattoo itched on her stomach. "You live in a cage Shinji-chan. Allow me to open the door." She activated the tattoo and the ground exploded below them. A gigantic woolly spider shot up much to the suprise of the group. Chiyo ended up on the back of the spider who had just finished wrapping Shinji in web. Sensing the intervention of the other nins, Chiyo spoke. "Hold. Unless you want Shinji-chan crushed by Ichimoto's jaws." The spider held Shinji, who had been wrapped up to his neck in web, in its powerful mandibles. Shinji struggled as he could, but to no avail. The spider had a firm grip of him. In any normal situation, he would've send a co-ordinated slashes of chakra, utilizing the jyuuken arts, into the web thus neutralizing it. However, it would seem his chakra was disoriented, due the amount of chakra relaxing drugs he'd had pumped into him. Chiyo turned to Akira and scoffed. "There is nothing funny about this business. I am simply freeing him. I am freeing my son." With that the spider jumped impossibly high and landed on the nearby tree canopy as if it weighed nothing. She had him sped toward where she felt Ifuuki, her master. Anyone wanting to follow them would have to be very fast.

He felt betrayed. He needed to lash out. Shinji sucked up the pain that groaned throughout his body and slashed open the web with co-ordinated chakra released in a swift motion through various tenketsu. Pain stirred throughout his entire body, get more violent with every movement. Shinji would be damned if he showed it, though. He planted of the spiders gargantuan head on to it's abdomen with a kunai drawn. He decided it would not be wise to use anymore Jyuuken. "Chiyo. Stop this madness," Even Chiyo would be shocked to hear the how faint his voice was. Weariness rang though every syllable. Weariness and determination.

Akira had kept goo pace and when Shinji freed himself he was next to Shinji within seconds after he stood with his weapon drawn. Akira took up a taijutsu position next to Shinji and said, "I can take her from here Shinji-san, I've done it before. I'll just have to go full speed again."
Taki waited beneath the spider as the battle started, she would make her move when she deemed it right, until then she would remain hidden and silent....

I will follow this spider's general direction to Ifuuki." Shinji wheezed, quite relieved. "Try not to hurt her too much. Also, your friend is here." Shinji jumped down, turned around and flashed a tired grin at Taki before he dashed away.

Akira found himself drawing closer and closer to the gates of his village, his body moved almost on auto-pilot, his mind blank, his eyes fixed on the place had called Home.
The gates groaned and creaked as they opened, and the villagers welcomed him back, some hugging him, some kissing his cheek, some saying a few words, but all left no impression upon him, none of it mattered any more.
Akira found himself drawing closer and closer to the Shinyuudai Tower, a small structure with only three rooms, each room occupying one of the three floors, the bottom room was his. The second was his brothers and the top floor belonged solely to his father.
Akira moved further, entering the building and trecking up the stairs, passing his own room and moving up, drawing closer to his father's rooms, ignoring his brother's for now.
He entered the room, his father sat to one side, drawing calligraphy dexterously, not looking up when Akira entered.
"You have returned early." The man nodded.
"You haven't left the room since I left." Akira replied, noting that his father's shoes were in the same place, and no futher indentation had been made upon them.
"Still such keen eyes."
"Father..."
"Worry not, come and embrace me. I have missed you, son."
Akira froze, this had never happened, this was never supposed to happen.
"Father, I have come back to tell you of Ifuuki-sama."
"Oh, yes, what of her?"
"She is useless to me."
"To you, perhaps, but to the clan?"
"The clan will not miss out on much."
"Is she not as brilliant as they say?" His father asked, lowering the brush and looking up for the first time.
His eyes shone a fantastic blue, a sign of his own heritage, his father's Kekki Genkai differed vastly from his own.
"I bested her, and I fooled her companions." Akira spoke, trying not to smile.
"You went head-to-head with a Kabuku?" His father asked, almost in disbelief.
"Yes, I did."
"Then you did not fight fairly. You did not give her time to act."
"Why would I?"
"Because that is how a Shinyuudai fights, with honour and dignity. You and your brother, you're so different. He would never fight unjustly."
"My brother is nothing, he is weak and he is an imbeci-" Akira hissed, but was quickly cut off.
"You will hold your tongue, less I cut it from your mouth, boy." His father scolded, he was at Akira's throat, his movement had been so fast, faster than anything Akira had ever seen.
'Even Eiju was slow compared to that...'
"You have dishonoured me once again, Shinyuudai Akira." His father spoke, turning away.
"Well, let it be the last time." Akira smiled.
"Excuse me?" His father asked, turning back again.
Akira had begun to form seals, his father's eyes widened, his own hands racing to form the neccesary seals to stop his son.
"Father, I've no more use for you." Akira smiled, forcing out a hand and smiling as his father's skin tore open slightly, as he felt his chakra connect with his father's body, as he felt himself attaching to the water within.
"Akira, stop." His father said, stopping the seals and lowering his hands.
"I'm not sorry, and I'm not going to stop." Akira sighed.
"You must. You cannot defeat me."
"Father, I have been able to kill you now for 5 years."
"Lies."
Akira drew back a hand and smiled, water poured from the cut on his father, the old man's eyes widened, beofre shrivelling and decaying.
"Is it really?" Akira grinned, kicking the body of his father and laughing as it burst into a cloud of dust, his clothes dropped to the floor, his remains carried from the room by a gentle breeze.
"Rest in peace, old man." Akira smiled, a single tear of joy tracing his cheeks.
"Your legacy will be mine." He nodded.
With this, he plucked a single object from the objects left by his father and turned to leave.
"Brother..." He said. A familiar face stood before him, a look of shock and disgust painted over his face...

Akira's brother moved fast, his hands form a series of seal and Akira found himself trapped within a ball of water, his body pressurized rapidly.
Akira grinned, his teeth glistening deviously.
He formed a seal and vanished from the bubble, reappearing in the water that had spilled from his father's body.
"I've become so much more powerful, Brother." Akira grinned.
"What the hell have you done?"
"I've come back to kill you." He smiled, forming a seal and spitting.
The water in his saliva compressed and hit his brother hard, shooting through him with bullet-like violence, tearing a small hole in his shoulder.
"How?" He gasped.
"Simple." Akira smiled, walking towards him and cracking his knuckles.
"What have you become...Akira-kun?" His brother asked, unable to look him in the eye.
"I've become what all Shinyuudai have dreamed of..." he smiled, drawing back a fist.
"Akira, you have to stop now. You can take the head Seat in the clan, just don't kill m-"
Akira swung his fast brutally, smashing his brother's face hard, laying him out on the floor.
He touched the inside of his brothers mouth with two fingers, forming seals with his other hand.
"You've always loved water..." Akira chuckled, forcing his chakra into his brother.
The final seal let loose Akira's suiton, and he watched his brother burst into a small pool of water, blood and s**t.
"You should never have let me live." Akira smiled, rising and retrieving two more objects from the clothes his brother had left behind.
Akira frowned as he made his way down to the street.
"I've really become a monster..." Akira said solemnly.
"Yes, you have..." Ryou sighed.
"Why?" the ring asked, a hint of sadness in its voice.
"Because I'm the only person who can finish what our clan began..." He nodded, accepting himself as the monster, Shinyuudai Akira.
"Now, just one last thing I have to do." He smiled, forming several seals and walking further into the street...

Nova Blancke Dragon Sneeze As Onryou's sword stabbed toward her head, Ifuuki vanished in a puff of smoke revealing a log where she was standing. "Some of the oldest tricks are the best." The sword in her hand continued to pull away from her and would prove to strain her muscles if she hadn't exerted control over the area. "Fast aren't you? Then I suppose escape is out of the question?" Tobasu reached the place where Ifuuki and Onryou were fighting. He regretted to see her fighting actually. But joining in on the fight would only cause chaos. That other fella might consider him to be an enemy if Ifuuki plays it right. Afterall they both knew eachother. So for the time being he watched the fight. He remained hidden but perhaps Ifuuki would spot him regardless. "It would seem my jutsu is ready now," Onryou said, "Watch you step." Flashback At the same time that he spun the sword in the air he brought his hand together in a string of seals that was so fast it was barely visible before he caught the sword the air and said, "Doton: Diamond Minefield" as well as "Doton: Exploding Earth Spires" (no translations for those yet). At that instance, the spot under Ifuuki exploded in a hail of diamonds. if she was caught in it it would surely shred her quite thoroughly. Onryou's plan seemed to be to imply destroy Ifuuki's body as completely as possible so many times that she ran out of chakra to recover and was using jutsus specific to that aim. Behind Tobasu a female voice said, "Amazing to see two people of that level fight isn't it?" The voice belonged to Kira, how stood behind Tobasu with Kasa over one shoulder and her free hand on her sword hilt. "So the question is, who's side are you on?"

Shinji could barely make out a battle that was raging. His Byakugan was dimming. He clutched his shirt and gritted his teeth.
"Damn it."
