Welcome to Gaia! ::

(meh I'm going to do something really stupid now, but I'm tired of following)

Aya snarled under her breath at the shinobi before Hinata-san. These people were just getting in the way, and from what she studied Hinata-san was just trying to get to that tower before them. Well, it was time to help. 'I won't let anyone else destroy my home, villiage, and the ones I care about.' she thought. Yes it was true, despite Aya's outward appearance, she did care deeply for the ones who took her in. As for those who had first found her, only a few were still alive. She visted them every so often. Reaching inside her wrist guards she hooked her fingers around the fine wire there. Flicking her eyes to and fro she studied her surroundings, lets see, the best way for a trap here would be a distraction. Standing up very slowly she started to hop from ridge to ridge flicking out her hands to wrap the wire around different rocks, some looser than others. Twitching her fingers she lowered the wire as well as some kunai tying them below. Smirking, she studied her trap. With a slight pull some of the debris would tumble down on the enemy shinobi, if they dodged it fine, because in all the directions they could run to, there was a thin wire easily broken but still strong. As soon as they made movement in that direction kunai would instantly shoot at them. Infusing it with the slight chakra she had, even if they started to use a technique that used thier own chakra, the trap would activate as well as the wire which would wrap around thier bodies as a magnet. Aya couldn't help but be slightly proud of herself, she felt she was quite good at traps.

Glancing down at Hinata-san and the boy, she just hoped they were good to act fast and quickly. And move back. Then smirking, she pulled the wire.

**The string of chakura around his neck dissipated. Tentu walked into the clearing next to Kotai.**

"Alright. Just remember, I don't like being spied on. "

**Tentu then turned to the new nin.**

"Just to let you know, I wouldn't have killed you."

::now there was flying rubble, Hinata grabbed the nin that had falen into her and bursted out of the way of a falling rock, she trusted Kitsune to be fast enough to do the same::

::She let the other one go, hoping that he too would be able to dodge the onslaught. She concentrated, watching some of the enemy nin get hit and some dodge out of the way, she kept searching and finally located the figure that seemed to have caused all this::

Friend or foe? ::she shouted over the noise of falling rocks, hoping the term wasn't too ancent that peopole wouldn't know it::

::her white eyes narrowed as she gave th person a quick once over, her entire body tense and ready to move::

I hope I can beleive that...

::as she turned to check on Kitsune and blast landed between her and the person who had just set the trap, exploding and sending even more rubble into the air and causing Hinata to scramble backwards in an attempt to get out of the way::

::sharp peices of rock launched all around, scraping any revealed skin of any of the party members around. A laughter could be heard even above all the noise, female and not all together sane::

::Hinata looked up, eyes a bit wide::

Great....now what....

(ooc: mwahaha for adding more evil characters. Sorry Laijin but I decided we needed some more fun action)

Aya frowned slightly hearing Hinata-san's conclusion, 'I guess she doesn't recogonize me, all the better for me, so she doesn't make me stay back.' she thought. As just as suddenly the rocks erupted, springing from her crouch she flipped backwords, catching a rock for a handstand before landing behind another rock. Looking foward at Hinata-san her eyes opened wide as she saw the other kunoichi shielding. Ninja could do that? There was still so much Aya didn't know. She had heard of samurai stopping attacks by forcing thier fighting chi, but this...this was completly different. Hearing the laughter she looked up to where it might have been coming from. Crouching down further she watched, and waited. If the person revealed herself, than she might be able to sneak attack.

**Tentu heard the explosion and felt the earth shake. he shoook his head and began to walk the direction of the explosion.**

"It seems odd how Hinata ALWAYS seems to find trouble."

Somewhere across the Village:

A permeating scream reached the Kuraisennin's heightened hearing, giving him a moment of pause. During this moment of hesitation, the group of enemy ninja he was fighting decided to rush him... but a scant instant later he found his body pierced through with various kunai and shuriken as three nin in the back prepared their hand seals for a joint jutsu. "This is bothersome... away with you!" With hand seals so impossibly quick that it appeared his hand had never moved at all a burst of black Chakra wrapped itself around the nins' fingers, twisting the digits off of their hands entirely.

With the same wave of black energy, a ten-foot long scythe was formed from the pain and darkness absorbed from his enemies... with a grunt, the sage swept the intangible blade through the entire group of Death, Stone, and Cloud ninja. "Yami Minori no jutsu!" The bodies of each ninja dropped to the ground as the entirety of their Chakra was instantly drained into the shadowed scythe. The Sage dropped to one knee for a moment as the technique gained him Chakra but strained his extended Chakra Coils painfully.

The new infusion of different Chakras would take a few minutes to be fully converted into his transcended form of energy, and in the meantime he concentrated on repairing his shadow body, ejecting all of the blades from his form and filling in their wounds with new Chakra "patches" to keep his essence in place. "Now, for that scream..." If the Sound ninja were attacking too, he would be infinitely upset... Making two seals with both hands, =Usagii, Torii=, Komm Kage performed the Path of the Ninja. "Kage Kawarimi no jutsu!" His body melted into the shadows and began speeding across the Village, his presence and vast Chakra masked by a network of ancient jutsu, even as the mother-of-pearl mask covering his face glinted in the moonlight...
