Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Please, kid." Slade's dark side begins, before being cut off by his light side. "Does it look like I have a weapon, that I could possibly defend myself with, against your katanas? Besides, you are actually so up tight about someone who eats another person." He sighs, shaking his head slowly. "First of all, I don't kill and eat people. I do not even start fights. All I get, all the time, are random shinobi entering my village, and starting fights. If you wanted to come here and learn jutsu, then go learn your jutsu. I did not leap to my feet, and tell you to leave. Nor attack you. And I am certainly not the one standing here with a weapon pointed at your chest." Slade's light side says, speaking logically as he frowns slightly. "Now, I am telling you to leave. Because unnecessery blood shed is not welcome in my village. So I will stop it before it even starts. Get out." Slade then says, as he raises a hand and points towards the gates in the distance. He would not have any random fighting starting, because of some shinobi's ideals. This shinobi did not seem Slade entering their village, and demanding all people of this clan should die, because they're different.

"Don't make me say it again. You're not wanted here... Leave." Slade says, as his frown deepens. His hands coming together as sleeves fall away and making a few hand signs, before the projectile is knocked back towards Ekuamous by an unseen force. Thanks to the abilities of Psycho Reflector. He had told the truth though, he did not exactly have weapons that were suited for battle. After all, his abilities centered more on espionage then on direct conflict. With a dark sigh, Slade soon speaks again. "Not even your pathetic taunts, will make me want to fight your miserable hide. Get out of my village, I will not tolerate fighting, in such a peaceful place as this." Even while he fought, he was gathering information on his opponent. Remembering what he saw and keeping track, as was his way. It made for everything that was fighting, to be easier. Keeping his hands together, he makes another hand sign, just in case it were to be needed.

A barrier technique! Well that was something new, and unexpected... Moving one of the shields from his Spinning Turtle Formation in front of him to knock aside the deflected shuriken, Eluamous was now somewhat annoyed that this opponent wasn't even trying to fight back... Even with the dark side more awake it wasn't fighting... Either this was a really weak dark side or the good side had it suppressed so much that it had taken on an image of the light side. 'Looks like I'll have to find another one of these half breeds elsewhere if I'm to get a challenge from one... pity that he of the sound ninjas is dead' Backing off a distance, but still keeping his guard up, Eluamous's head turned towards Slade, speaking simply; "Who is the strongest member of the Zetsu Clan, and where may I find them? It's obvious I need to find another one in which to test my strength against... so I might as well try taking on the strongest one." Eluamous had an uneasy feeling in his stomach, something was telling him that the Zetsu he saw in front of him was the strongest one left; and either he was holding back, or really didn't understand Eluamous's concepts of battle. He was constantly seeking strong opponents, types of opponents he'd never fought before; the more battles the Spartans had, the stronger they became; and recovering from near death injuries oftentimes increased their power tenfold. Thus, Eluamous constantly went out of his way to test himself further than he'd prior done; each opponent stronger than the last if he could help it... And if he did lose; then he would redouble his training to find the person who had defeated him and then rechallenge them... It was how he'd become stronger, how he'd become the human tank he was now; and now that he'd seen a Zetsu close up and in person..... or in plant; he was determined to test his strength against one... One of his shields moved automatically in front of his head as the girl threw three senbons towards him, a glance from his eyes moved towards her... An interesting surprise... he'd not expected someone like her to have struck towards him.... perhaps she was the one who was the violent one... Would she pose any more of a challenge?

Nodding to Slade before moving his aim towards the girl, Eluamous grinned, "Hmm... my calculations were correct... she's the violent one... Meh, there's no fun in fighting a guy who won't fight back... and this little b***h seems to have already taken the liberty of giving me a reason to fight her...." He flipped around one of his summoned shields and pulled out the three senbons she had thrown, examining them; "Hmm.. that's a pretty good throwing arm, but can you dodge?" Eluamous quickly made the hand signs for boar and dragon, his eyes glowing a faint red as a massive cloud of ash flew out of his mouth and surrounded the girl. Leaping back as he condensed the ash around her, Eluamous quickly struck the two hand seals together clicking his teeth by clamping his jaw shut, and the entire mass of ash suddenly exploded... Deciding that since they were plants, he would utilize the fire element to test out just how much they were like the plants they were a part of. Needless to say he'd also chosen an explosion style attack; partially because one of his hidden powers was that of combustion; a power that could only be increased further if he were to kill others. Thus, following the tradition of challenging and defeating opponents, Eluamous had slowly become aware of the power; and by his estimates he was about two kills away from increasing this power further... Well, one kill away assuming the girl was unable to avoid the explosion...

Yuan had wasted no time. He had been prepared for battle since the explosive confrontation had begun. Yuan was a strategist and good at calculating in such situations. He had been assessing the situation before him, trying to scry out the newcomer's intent. He seemed dead set on doing battle with one of the zetsu. And when Azami had thrown her shuriken, Yuan knew who it would be. Slade, being his predictable self, had retreated from the battle, but the girl had not. She stood no chance. As the so called spartan had been making his attack, Yuan had been making his own. He slid on the grassy field as he jumped in front of Azami. Fuuton: Great Breakthrough! Yuan covered his face with his right arm and swung it out, blowing as he did. A massive wind swept across the plain seeming to reach from Yuan himself. The wind was so strong that it ripped trees from the ground and rolled boulders from their resting places. The wind blew back the explosive cloud of ash, an attack that Yuan himself had mastered and was all to familiar with. As the cloud swept back at it's caster, Yuan made a quick hand seal or two. An orb of flame about as big as a head formed in the center of the wave of wind. The orb suddenly exploded in a massive burst of flame. The entire wave of wind burst into flame, cascading over the entire field where the Spartan stood. As the wave burned everything in sight, Yuan took advantage and advanced.

Azami saw the cloud coming and was about to use her new jutsu, but was saved the trouble when the new boy intervened. "Thanks" she whispered to the boy as he launched his next attack. She stood back and waited for her chance. He was clearly after a fight, she knew she had no chance of defeating him, but damned if she was going to let him get off scotch free. As the boys fire attack disappated she saw the boy in a sort of bear hug. "hmm" Azami dashed forward her flytrap jaws snapping down towards the man's torso as if to sever him in half.

Tiger, Ram, Tiger, Dragon, Tiger; with the remaining shadow clones covering him; the real Eluamous shielding behind them in case yuan should throw the shurikens; and as he completed the last seal; six swords of light suddenly stabbed into Yuan down to the base of his spinal chord. While the swords were unable to draw blood; they stuck down into the base of his spinal chord, and their energy temporarily rendered the opponent unable to move or use their abilities for a short period of time... The one drawback, he had to make this free hit count... It was a good thing he'd ordered Fai Ryu to circle around them; deciding it best for the dragon to unleash his finisher attack to ensure no slip ups. Eluamous signaled as the massive black dragon landed in front of him, Eluamous leaping backwards as the dragon fired its finisher move, the Hell Flame Sphere, at Yuan; a deadly attack that would kill on contact...
