Welcome to Gaia! ::

*throws dark star*

Kuraiyume cursed silently when his bolt was uselessly hit the ground where the beast had stood, and cursed again when the beast appeared right in front of his face. He was now face to face with the enemy, eye to eye with near-limitless power. He could feel its chakra pouring out of its body, as if coaxing him to take his hand.

The fact that he could see its chakra though was a rather fortunate thing to be able to do when one is so close. His mind shuffled through the choices he could make, narrowing them down to just two. Either run and continue his useless assault, or try for a gentle fist attack knowing that he would probably die.

Then his mind narrowed that down to one possibilty; if he was to die this day, then nothing he could do could prevent destiny, so there was only one possibility: attack while you can.



Kuraiyume stared right into the beast's eyes and said, "I could ask you the same thing: who might you be to stand up to me? You fight for yourself, and inevitably, any creature will die," Kuraiyume said assertively. He must have been possessed by a spirit of insanity to do it too: he was staring death in the face and laughing. "I, however, fight for an idea," he continued, and then slowly and purposefully he finished, "and ideas... don't... die."

As he finished, he reached out to try to land a touch on the beast's chakra release points and disrupt its chakra coil system, and in it all, he realized that this was the reason that the gods made him born a Hyuga.

Sign-up sheet:

Name: Goji Rukko

Age: Unknown, thought to be at least 80

Gender: male

Land and village of origin: Land of earth, small unknown village

Rank: S-class

Appearance

personality: Goji is a very wise man, taking his wisdom from previous encounters, being able to recollect memories from childhood, which leads many to assume he is very old. Indeed he is, but his age has nothing to do with his strange, carefree personality. He is often found speaking in proverbs, usually twisted rambling that have a very strong meaning. Seldom is he very serious, but when he becomes so, he becomes very strong. Either way, he is determined in battle.

Weaponry: Goji's main weapons is a very long, slender katana, about 6 feet in length. The katana, named "goji", is usually colored like a standard sword, but using his chakra when in battle, the blade becomes long and sharp, and glows a neon red color, becoming very hot, able to cut through things with ease, like a modern lightsaber. His wood arm is also a weapon, able to open up several "doors", housing katana, poison needles, explosive tags, etc, firing them from various parts on his arm.

Fighting Style: Goji uses a strange type of taijutsu, consisting of many unorthodox attacks and movements, including the use of his wooden arm. He also uses ninjutsu.

Elemental style: Wind, and Fire

Jutsu:
Deathcopter: Spins his sword rapidly like a propellor, and is able to sustain flight, and fall back down to attack
Meditiation: Focuses, allowing him to open the gate held in his body for a short, unpermanent time, as in allowing for a quick burst of speed
Blaze Siphon: His sword becomes inflamed, and slashing with it projects fireballs
Warp: Teleports
Diving shadow: Becomes a living shadow, and is able to reappear in regular form whenever he pleases
Wind Dragon: Slashes the air, creating a large tornado, shaped like a dragon
Flash palms: Uses a clone jutsu of his fists to attack the enemy multiple times
Spiraling wind sphere: Creates a large four pointed star of pure wind energy
Ghost swords: Creates clones of his swords, to attack the enemy
Cry: Turns his sword into a double bladed staff, and cast a dark mist around the area
Chime: Turns his sword into 2 swords, each with a chakra chain connected to his arms
Roar: Turns his sword into six smaller daggers, all connected by chakra chains to Goji's back
Reject: Turns his sword into three large daggers, which connect into one of his hands
Intwine: Clones his sword into 100 fragments, which can be willed to attack the enemy.
Finish: Creates a wind sphere around himself and opponent, then turns his sword into thousands of fragments, which explode on contact.

Clan/Kekkai Genkai: Goji has a sharingan in his right eye, but it remains a mystery how he got it. The sharingan can see moves and copy attacks, but not replicate them. Goji is part of the Manji clan, which was known for it's intricate chakra control. This allows him to use a prostectic arm with such ease, and can even manipulate the arm, without it breaking.

Background: Unknown for the most part, but is said to be in partner ship with the Zongetsi.

"You are brave, but you also are confused, your thoughts clouded, misguided. You cannot hope to defeat me with such trivial attacks, or techniques that I have fought against for centuries. No, I shall not be defeated by such wasteful techniques, and until you learn of things such as this, you will be nothing more than a fruitless warrior, being crushed under the feet of those who fight with their mind and body. You are not one of those people, and never was one of your empty clan, whom shall be massacred, along with this village. What shall you say to that, false warrior?"

The Hyuga clan ninja was playing right into the beast's hands, releasing his emotions. Little did he know, the beast fed off such strong emotions, despite having good intentions at this current time. No matter, the beast thought, his anger would take advantage of him in due time. For now, it was the beasts job to flesh it out.....and he was doing a great job.

Easily dodging the attacks of the man, the beast focused his chakra, evenly distributing it throughout his person, making his chakra points of no use to him, or the ninja. He could attack them all he wanted, it wouldn't matter, he would simply transfer chakra, with or without a point. After all, he was the tailed beast, and centuries of training didn't amount to just good chakra control. Pushing his palm forward, the beast propelled a large jet of wind energy at the ninja, hopefully causign him to jump back, right into his plans.



Hizaki was fed up with waiting. He was flying overhead, surveying the scene playing out below. All those cowardly ninja, hiding in the shadows, waiting for a chance to attack. They didn't understand that death for them was inevitable, and nothing could change that. No one here could stop that beast, not even Hizaki himself, at least not alone. They would need much more help than a group of wounded soldiers, and that was exactly what was lying in this forest. What a shame. He glanced at Rokkaku, who, of course, was lying with his eye closed, the large sword laying dormant for quite a while.

Hizaki sensed something. Looking down below, he saw a masked man with a wooden arm, holding a long, green sword. Instantly he knew who it was, Goji, the killer bushido. Hizaki smiled, and instantly knew a battle was going to happen, and jumped off of his hawk, falling to the ground, impaling Rokkaku into the earth.

"Hey, you with the mask. Goji, long time no see. I'm glad to hear your still alive, cause I wanted your blood on my hands, and no one elses. Heh, it must be my lucky day, cause here you are, and here I am. What do you say we settle this, once and for all!"

Well, so much for that plan, Kuraiyume thought as he saw the beast easily dodge his attack and then saw its chakra coils change rapidly into a more stable and regulated system. His gentle fist style was useless.

As the beast let out a wind blast, Kuraiyume channeled his chakra into his feet and withstood the wind blast and stayed in his perch atop the branch, the beast right in front of him on the same branch.

Kuraiyume thought for a moment about the beast's words. You cannot hope to defeat me, with such trivial attacks, or techniques that I have fought against for centuries, and realised that this beast was right: this battle would not be won on strength, skill, or technique, for the beast's powers in all of these aspects were ten times his. There was only one way to get to the beast--through its mind--but how could Kuraiyume hope to say that would even phase it? He was pitting his 27-year-old psyche against something that was a hundred times older, but perhaps the creature was naive in spite of its experience.

Kuraiyume deactivated his Byakugan, put his hands at his sides, and sat down on the branch. He closed his eyes and began to meditate. If the beast decided to attack, then Kuraiyume could rely on his sense of hearing.

Then Kuraiyume began to speak, softly, calming himself completely, speaking barely out of a trance in a light, easy tone. "You say I am brave. Perhaps, but perhaps I am simply a fool who knows no fear. You say I'm confused, and perhaps I am, though I seem to be thinking clearly. You say I am a fruitless warrior, but you don't realise that I have won, for as long as you sit up in this tree and wait for me to die, you cannot attack my village."

What the hell is he doing? Hayaiko thought, watching him from afar.

He's mad! Taiyouhi screamed in his head.

He's... a genius. Chi Hana realised.

Kuraiyume continued his speech. "I am not a false warrior, beast. I fight for honor, for love, for the protection of life... morals you do not possess and will never understand. You are the false warrior, fighting for nothing, killing without reason, destroying everything for no purpose."

Kuraiyume took a deep breath and finished his monologue. "Only one of us is a fool, beast. Only one of us is a fool."

When he was done, a dead silence fell over him, and then the entire battlefield, watching for the next development in the battle of the sage and the fool, still not sure which was which.

((I don't either... I hope I didn't just kill the RP sweatdrop I don't know where I got the idea either, but it definetly made Kuraiyume's introduction come full circle.

I mean, I didn't expect your dude to reverse the seal, or make the ground turn into quicksand, but I found a way. This isn't improv, we have time to think. You're a damn good roleplayer; you'll think of something.

Just take some time to get in character. The answer will come. I'm gonna get into another character now, sleep, so I can't help you. Goodnight.))

((I'll post later today. I have thought of something, but its rather drastic....i'm still thinking of everything I want to do. Don't worry, you didnt kill the rp.))

((I was gonna make a really dramatic post but if you already have something planed meh i think i will wait))
