Dragon Sneeze The Kohr Nova Blancke The Kohr Dragon Sneeze Matsuda eyed Sokitsu and Ion and laughed. "Please. He looks like he's about to pass out and the other is just a child. I understand I'm intimidating but don't insult me." She shifted her weight and smirked. "Fine, I'll make it easier on you. This fight will have rules. You pose one and then I will. Any rule will do, handycap me as much as you like." "Fine then,"Musashi looked off in the distanced and touched his chin he thought hard on this matter, " No regeneration." Ion thought to himself being a bit proud of himself. Musashi looked at Ion and winked. Matsuda gave him a sly look. "It seems you know more about me than I of you. Very well, accepted. As for my rule..." She produced two small daggers from a pouch and tossed him one. They were delicately detailed and slightly curved but looked very strong. "We only attack with these." Musashi caught the blade and looked it over and spun it around in his hand as if he had it for years. Great bladed weaponry, not my best but better than genjutsu or ninjutsu. Would have prefered hand to hand, wonder if she could tell?"Alright, I agree to your terms." Hey looked at Yinko. Alright kid this is for you. Musashi dashed towards Matsuda with the blade set to pierce he shoulder. His eyes were different colder.

Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Issui was silent for many minutes before he spoke again. "I am at a loss for words,....how many of the group still now live? My father and you of course, but how many others?" Kisei shook her head. "We agreed to minimize contact between us so I do not know. It may be best to ask the council, but I ask that you be descreet. This secret must not be released. Ifuuki has many spies." "What would you say then if I told you I plan to find the sword? And that I also plan to recover the Tenken from wherever it sleeps and use it to finally destroy the Kusanagi, once and for all?" Issui paused and again after this, looking down as he said, "It was always Shuutaki-sama's wish that someone find a way to destroy the sword and truly kill the demon within. It was even a request in her final will that whomever did so would be given dearest treasure. It is said that she slew the demon, if only. She was merely able to wound it gravely enough to allow for the sealing method. My ancestor's powers were great, but no human could even hope to completely erase a force of nature at its most powerful. She hoped that with the beast's form and spirit split and sealed that it's life force would be sufficiently weakened so that it might be destroyed by another. The Tenken was forged with a purest of all chakras and intents and the greatest hands ever to work metal, its power alone should be able to annihilate that accursed weapon and the spirit sealed within forever." Kisei nodded. "I would not have told you this without assuming your intentions." She poured more tea for herself and turned to Issui. "In fact, I intend to help you. Discussion of the sword's destruction was a hot topic with the council, but in the end it was decided to hide it instead. I believe however that if a sword as powerful or more than the Kusanagi welded by an Oowaka and Tondaime together would be enough to destroy it and vanquish the demon. There were doubts on my theory but I believe it to be true. If your Tenken is such a sword than we have a suffucient goal ahead of us." "I believe it to be so. It was made by the combined skill of Masamune and Muramasa, the two greatest smiths to ever live and great rivals of each other. They forged it for the greatest ninja to ever walk the land of Kadou, Kama Eiju-Dono, Kama Onryou-sama's older brother. "When Eiju-dono died it was his will to pass the sword to Onryou, but Onryou felt himself unworthy to carry the holy blade and instead became its ward, waiting for someone he felt ready to take the trials to claim the blade. It is the most prized artifact of the Kadou region, above many other powerful objects. It was said that in the hands of Eiju-dono, those cut by the blade were burned away by the purest, soul cleansing chakra, eradicating even their essence. such is my hope for the Kusanagi." Issui took out one of his flasks of water and took a rather large gulp from it before continuing. "Rio-kun and Akira-kun will be coming with me, they are my brothers as far as I am concerned. They want to see this through as much as I, if only for my sake."

The council members will most likey be more disposed to speaking with me than you. Though we should venture to your land to speak with your father. No doubt he may be the easiest or the hardest of our targets." She added a smirk, "And we know where he is." She began to clean up the area and motioned for the door. "Meet me by the Sacred Sakaki Tree in an hour. We should leave immediately."

Musashi dashed towards Matsuda with the blade set to pierce he shoulder. His eyes were different colder. Matsuda stood stock still and caught Musashi's charge with a single deft wrist flick. Blade clashed on blade as she let him roll past her placing a elbow square into his face probly breaking his nose. She let him stagger away and smirked. "I hope you'll be more challenging than this."

Musashi raised his off hand to his nose. A crack was heard, he straightened his nose back. He sniffed, and spit upon the ground. Musashi stared at Matsuda, they effortless retaliation was not as easy as she made it seem, she was so much faster than him. He had not met some one this fast before. I will have to use more of my chakra to inhance my speed"Well well, you are fast and skillful." Musashi said in a regretful tone. "Let's do this." Het took a strong offensive stance, and waved her on.

Issui nodded as he stood, "I must go prepare for our journey." He bow and left.
Once he made his way back to those from his group Issui noticed something was wrong. "What is it?" He asked.
"It would seemed that Kasairyuu has escaped from his cell, aided by Yang Tao Eiju," Onryou said. "The guards were discovered heavily wounded and stated that Eiju attacked them and nearly killed them. Konoha was worried so they checked the body of Ifuuki in the morgue....it's missing. We though for a moment that it was Eiju as well, but the body of the mortician's girlfriend was found impaled with scalpels and the mortician killed in the same way down the hall. It would seem that even one's heart exploding is not enough to keep a Kabuku dead. Next time I will make sure of her death by cutting of her head and incinerating it."
Onryou paused for a moment before he said, "Either way, I expect that you will be leaving soon. Especially with this new information, finding the Kusanagi, securing it and wither destroying it or keeping it safe is even more important. Rio and Akira all already getting ready, they are in their rooms at the place you were staying before all this began."
"Thank you Onryou-sensei," Issui said with a deep bow before he turned and left,
------------------------------
An hour later Issui, Rio and Akira stood ready and waiting for Kisei

She was wearing an old style set of ninja clothes and flak jacket and her long black hair was tied back in two neat pig tails. The most impressive and intimidating thing about her was the giant bladed circle strapped to her back, like a oversized chakram nearly five feet across. When she saw the stares from the group she smiled and placed a hand on the weapon. "This is the marrige sword that Shu created for me when I married into the Tondaime clan as dictated by tradition. It is a bit large yes, but the spirits of the clan design it, Shu only forged it. It is my one true momento of him."

"You are bonded to your weapons aren't you? Can you convene with your blade, feel what it thinks or wants? I have tried many times to sense the nature of my blades to better understand how to wield them, but it seems I still lack that sense." Rio nodded as he said, "The size isn't that surprising, almost everyone in my clan wields large weapons, most of the Bakuhatsu and Kanko clans from Kaibun no gakure do as well. But I've never seen anyone use a weapon of that style, it must be interesting to see you fight." Issui spoke next, saying. "I know it's good to become acquainted with people you will be relying on in battle and putting your trust on the line for, but we do need to leave. We can continue our conversation on the move, Akira can you get us some transportation?" Akira nodded and bit his finger, pressing it against his other palm. Four gecko salamanders appeared next to each of the four ninjas the size of horses, though set much lower the ground. "These are some of my fastest and most agile sommons and can travel continuously for much longer than us, they will carry us to the lands of the Kadou more than twice as fast as we would normally. The three wordlessly mounted and waited for Kisei

Musashi had been focusing his chakra for her assault. A strong torrent of wind blew him into the air making him flip, it was if he was as light as a feather in the air. His flip took him face to face in front of Matsuda. Musashi swung hilt first at the bridge of her nose it was clear his intentions were a nose for a nose.

The commotion had everyone so transfixed on fighting, nobody would have time to react when a cloaked figure hop of a tree and scooped up Ion in a restraining arm-lock before he tapped his foot delicately on the ground, which miraculously sent him propelling a great distance into the air, he began dash across the east wall of Konoha.
"Answer me carefully, are you or are you not Ion Atehameru," He said gruffly into Ion ear.
