Welcome to Gaia! ::

Halting his attacks Kaimen said calmly.

"Seldom do I not have an urge to fight, it is only the fact that i sit here, battle after battle, student after student, Demon after Demon, Sensei after Sensei...Shunned and neglected, it is only right that this insatiable urge to destroy things wells up within oneself to the point where he sees that taking it out on inanimate objects of objects easily created and destroyed can never satisfy."

Dropping his sword abit his chakra flared up before dying back down.

"Consequently enough, I have recently acquired the power of a Bijuu. Yes, the 7 Tails Demon, Kaku, The God Of Earth, and So in order to grow that power, I should instead battle, rather than forcefully opening it up and, well, destroying everything in sight."

With a Second Jump of his chakra he said.

"It is not that I don't not plan to control it, or that I cannot, it's just that If I did, now, I would have...No desire to."

Kaimen thought for a bit.

"No...I sought this thing out to test myself. To Proclaim, which was better, one lone man, with the taste for battle, or a Demon who readily kills at a whim."

Clenching his fist, with his mask clearly covering developing tears he said.

"It's funny that you find out, the two are not so different."

Lowering his hand he then began to speak.

"Of course however I cannot help if it has increased my ability to fight, or perhaps even lowered it. When defeating it should I let it continue to wreak havoc on others? Nay, I kept it for myself. a Double Edged Sword Perhaps. But still, it is My burden to bear and no one else's! So If it is here to strengthen me, then so be it, but that was not my intent."

That Move however was what Kaimen was waiting for.

With the Spikes Broken the Shards Soon formed into Stone Clones Of Kaimen, Surrounding Seph in a 3d Diamond Formation.

"Shokubutsu No Jutsu: Kakutasu No Mai!"

The Clones, Like Kaimen, All Had Swords, and began stabbing at Seph, from all angles, however, that wasn't the end of the attack, with each stab 4 needles shot towards the target to account for the directions not attacked. So If one strike was to the far left, the needles shot to the mid-left, Middle, Mid-Right, and Far Right.

Because the clones were made of stone instead of vegetation like they normally are, the attack was not poisonous, and in that sense, not very deadly, with more of a blunt, dull impact that could stun, and perhaps kill if it hit vital points with enough force.

But there was only enough force to stun. It wasn't the full attack.

The Real Kaimen was no where to be seen.

"Hah!"

Kaimen's voice echoed, the stone clones sword may have melted but they, except for 2 were intact. The remaining 4 began to crouch low, as if charging some sort of energy, before rocketing towards Seph.

The Speed at which they were moving was enough to smash through the rock and swirling magma (if any), although they would take considerable damage, and the fact that they would collide causing immense damage, was enough to make one use up more Chakra in order to block the attack.

~Byakugan and the 9 Tails Ey?~

Seph however would find it difficult to completely locate the real Kaimen. He Would soon notice a large mass of Chakra under ground, bubbling there, like his magma, but not moving. In Many areas the concentration was Higher than others, but since Seph was in the Air, this was Kaimen's Chance to reveal himself.

With a Flare of Chakra to the right, first, Kaimen summoned his technique.

"Doton: Nomi Yuma!"

His Infamous Chakra Draining Mud. though, the Draining effect had not been added yet, Soon, concentrations of chakra like Kaimen's began to busrt fourth from the earth, which was indeed his chakra, pressing the mud up and unto the battle field.

Not surprised Kaimen's Second technique took into action, with the magma clearly following his trail he dart under ground more towards the surface of the earth, allowing him to place the tag that started the chakra draining effect. Then, Dashing towards the tree Seph was in. Instead of coming out of the ground however Kaimen went through the roots of the tree, knowing the magma would have to burn through it, and unlocked his next Technique.

"Kaimen No Jutsu: Daigomukin Tate!"

Tossing 3 Scrolls into the air Kaimen's Multi-Composition Armor began a fast shift and forming around his body, though, knowing it would not be complete in and instant, he took the Ten Pan and touched the Red bead.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Taisukeru!"

A Dragon of flame burst From his sword and Engulfed Kaimen, where in Seph would feel a massive increase in his chakra as he had unlocked the first gate, and formed a barrier of chakra with the excess amount.

A Hasty yet effective Defense, that required a gate to proceed.

With that, the mud had bursted up and engulfed the tree Seph was hanging on.

Kaimen, Soon fell the to ground, Armor completed watching his opponent locked in a web of basically death. His chakra would be drained, at an extremely rapid rate.

But Still not enough to kill him, knowing that, Kaimen had no real reason to take him seriously, seeing as how Seph wasn't even really using his chakra.
