Dark Ages
♠ Shuniji Fuku



Left foot, then right. Left foot, then right.

This was the mantra Shuniji used on himself to push himself through the Otokage's teleportation jutsu. Space-time manipulation and the flames of Amaterasu were never fun and combining the two could have been disastrous for the unprepared. Shuniji, however, managed to remain calm and focused on moving forward.

He pushed through the boundary surrounded by the rest of his fellow Sound-nin. It was an empowering feeling as he and thousands others proudly strode through the portal of black fire. It brought back childish dreams of being a general or war hero.

Shuniji wondered if his parents were among their ranks.

For once, the fire flaked harmlessly off of Shuniji's shoulders without much fanfare. Their foreboding heat was replaced by the internal flush of adrenaline as the breeze circling the tower hit his skin.

Everything seemed to vibrate with life. Shuniji couldn't wait to tear into it.

"Urrrg....." Seika groaned lightly as she stumbled through hell. Between the pent up pressure stabbing at her sides and the random teleportation through some HELL INFERNO. She felt a bit nauseated, but it was safe to say she'd shake it off. You'd think "sudden" changes were something a Sound ninja would be used to. At least her orders were still unchanged. It was always.."Kill this guy, ******** that queer up. Curb stomp this mouthy b***h." Okay, maybe not in that context...but it was always related to killing some poor unfortunate soul.

She took slow, deep breaths and calmed herself before straightening her posture. This was it. The greatest battle she'd ever take part in. Maybe even her last...Seika wondered how Shun felt. He didn't seem bothered, but his mind didn't seem to wonder as much as her's.

A sharp pain in Seika's side caught her focus once more. At first she seethed...it hurt, everything hurt...it was endless. She needed something to quell that pain, she needed to stop thinking and start taking more action. Yes...this was a better route.Thinking about everything at once was painful, but focusing on one thing, and one thing only....

"Kill them, kill them all...right?" Seika's lips curled into a disgustingly sweet smile as she slid her fingers lightly against the edge of her scythe. 'Sounds like a plan~!' She never smiled like this. Ever. Maybe she had a drive, a reason. She was going to fight for her Otokage, all her comrades, her only friend!


Seika's smile receded into something more smug as she slid her way through the crowd. She paused only a few feet beside Shuniji. "Oi, Shun~! Let's play another game." She offered. "Let's see who can kill the most assholes stupid enough to get in our Lord's way...but before we play the game, we have to set up the "rules", right? Let's have a change in scenery..." Seika cooed with a sharp giggle before retreating back a few paces. "It's all yours, buddy." She was smart enough to get out of his way at least.

Seika was back on board now.

Akeru had to admit things didn't look good and they were just starting. Not only did she not have much in the way of help thanks to those black flames, but the one sound ninja that hit the ground with his fist seemed extremely strong. To be able to do so much damage with so much ease, Akeru knew that taking damage from him wouldn't be a good thing. Luckily for her, she was best at fighting people indirectly with her illusions.

As Shuniji hit the ground and pulverized the majority of it, Akeru was luckily at the top of the stairs to the very sturdy temple. The force of the attack didn't do enough damage to make that collapse, however, the shaking was enough to cause Akeru to lose her balance and tumble forward, nearly falling into the moat-like hole that was created. She was lucky enough to regain her balance just before she would have fell, the last thing she needed to do was get closer to him and land face first at his feet to boot. Her survival rate already wasn't looking too good. But now, after seeing what he could do, Akeru knew that she needed to negate his strength somehow. Luckily she had the perfect technique for it. She activated her tenraigan.

"I hope you two weren't planning on me just standing here while you play around..."

The sound ninja with the pink suit and multi-colored hair was well within the range of Akeru's chakra network. It might only be temporary if he or one of his allies knew the genjutsu release, but if she could throw them off their game, it could buy time needed for her allies to return and aid her. She made quick hand seals, her chakra travelling through her chakra network and reaching Shuniji, reaching his mind and interfering with the control of his muscles. To him, it would seem as if gravity's force was doubled on him, making it harder to do everything, including moving and fighting.

Akeru kept her eyes moving, trying to make sure to spot whoever was attacking next before they could get the drop on her. She had the high ground, but she needed to use it properly to survive.

Dark Ages
♠ Shuniji Fuku



Shuniji began to straighten himself up as water pooled around his ankles. The simple task was suddenly hindered by a weight settling over his shoulders.

It wasn't unbearable, but it was noticeable--an obvious genjutsu. Shuniji tilted his head up to face the tower where he could hear an unfamiliar voice. There was a pretty good chance this sensation wasn't just Seika screwing with him.

Besides, Seika knew better. This was the Shuniji ******** Fuku who swam from the Land of Snow to the Land of Rice Paddies while obese and towing a boat. He'd just turned the Tower of Pengu into an island five seconds ago. He could handle twice his own body weight.

The crater was filling up quickly. Seika had obviously been putting in a lot of hours training her jutsu. Shuniji kept his balance carefully and let the water carry him back up to ground level like an elevator.

"It's pretty safe to say we hadn't bothered to plan anything involving you at all," Shuniji mentioned offhandedly while forming hand signs.

Water surrounding Shuniji continued to rise, up and out of the crater into the air and clearing what was left of the treeline, while shifting from a clear blue to an opaque black.

"Water Release: Black Rain Technique."

The darkened sky began to drizzle slick, charcoal rain onto the tower and the surrounding field.

Mood: Proud
Status: Affecting the weather
Thoughts: "Wish I'd thought to bring an umbrella."

Seika tilted her head down a bit as the thick black rain fell. She knew this was Shuniji's doing, and could piece together what he was going to do. Her smile could have split her face in half. She was either enjoying herself, or getting really pissed off. It was probably a combination of both. Her smile diminished into a more disappointed look as she spotted the kunai. "Pfft." She spat and kicked the heel of her scythe upwards and caught the stem of it with her other hand. Seika began to twirl it with both hands, faster....and faster. If those were real kunai, they'd be parried by her scythe. As for everybody else? They were Jounin or higher, they could take care of themselves. She didn't have to babysit them.

"The enemy arrives, escape into the night. Everybody run now, everybody run now~! Break into another time~!" Seika sang out loud as if she were at a concert. Her Scythe rang a melodious tone that carried her voice as it twirled, making it much louder than normal.
The song was the foundation for a genjutsu. Siren Song: Genjutsu Binding poured from Seika's lips and the bellowing of the ridges in her scythe. As soon as it struck the air, the toxic melody surrounded Akeru.

The vibrations of the sound waves would become overwhelming, shaking every cell at a different pitch. It would become impossible to move.

"Under the burning sun, I take a look around. Imagine if this all came down~? I'm waiting for the day to come~!!" Her singing got even louder as she continued. Seika was obviously trying to overpower Akeru's genjutsu with her own, pouring her heart into this song, as well as up-keeping the Genjutsu with her singing.

As the kunai with the explosine note hurtled towards the water, it exploded just as it made contact with the surface. The flames from the explosions set the layer of oil on top of the water ablaze, the fire quickly spreading. It had been Akeru's original plan to set the sound nin ablaze as well, but him ducking down into the water, well that worked wonderfully as well. Now she just had to make sure he never got the chance to get out of that water. It would do the job of killing him for her, all she had to do was trap him underneath, and since she could still tell his relative position due to the connection of her chakra network, it made it simple for her to use one of her genjutsu to make that happen.

However, as she began to gather the chakra to use her technique, she began to hear something, someone singing. It was strange for one of the enemies to randomly break into song in a battle, what the hell did she think this was, a musical? She was dealing with sound ninja, so she supposed such things were to be expected of them. However, just as she spotted the one who was singing, she felt her body lock up, completely unable to move. Just what she didn't need, someone explioting her own weakness to genjutsu.

s**t! s**t! This is bad, this is very very bad...

Having an enemy with genjutsu abilities on the field made in almost impossible for Akeru to survive. She was completely frozen, with no way to break free, her inability to use the genjutsu release technique or to mentally overpower the genjutsu due to her own chakra network left her a sitting duck for even the lowest level of genjutsu. There was one thing she could do though, to activate her last resort in this sort of situation, the cross state of her tenraigan. Doing so would reverse the flow of chakra through her chakra network, making it impossible to use genjutsu against anyone connected to it. However, it not only took a large amount of chakra to maintain, but it also cut Akeru off from her own genjutsu, which was her strongest weapon in combat. But now she had no choice, she would just have to focus on using her bladed chain in close.

With a sigh, Akeru activated the cross state of her tenraigan, the swirls in her eyes straightening into crosses. Seika and anyone else casting genjutsu in the area around her or on someone in that area would feel thier chakra pushed back towards them, as if it was being rejected. Akeru only gritted her teeth, this was an extremely bad situation, facing multiple opponents without access to her strongest weapon. She would only be able to release her tenraigan's cross state once the enemy genjutsu user was dealt with, otherwise she would be helpless against her illusions.

Gripping her bladed chain in one hand, Akeru began to run towards Seika at full speed. When she was a few feet away, she swung her chain at the sound kunoichi, attempting to wrap it around her feet and pull them from under her. She was far enough away not to be in range of Seika's scythe, in this battle she had the range advantage, she just had to deal with the disadvantage in numbers.

Dance of Thorns
♠ Shuniji Fuku



Shun seized the opportunity Seika had provided him to leap out of the water without being set on fire. He caught himself on the lake's edge and surveyed the damage.

Everything, save a few islands of oil-less environment was ablaze. The Tower itself was beginning to resemble something of a firecracker about to go off. Shuniji was pretty sure a structure of such importance would probably have some precautions taken to assure it wouldn't burn up that easily.

But it sure looked cool!

Honestly, Shuniji had been expecting more of a guard to be stationed around the Tower. If anything, he was slightly disappointed. Perhaps there would be more to do closer to the entrance?

He placed a hand on his hip and turned halfway to face Seika, seemingly oblivious to the flaming hellscape around him.

"Hey, Seika! You gonna be alright here? I'm feelin' like a third-wheel over here. I think I might go knock over the Tower or something if you're gonna keep doing what it is you're doing. Can't have the siege of the Tower Pengu go down without the star player, right?"

Shuniji flipped his hair over his shoulder, but the added weight of the water lessened the effect.

Mood: Proud (but getting kinda bored.)
Status: Standing on the lake of fire
Thoughts: "Seriously. Just watching you do stuff without me is pissing me off."

"Do as you wish; Just don't die." Seika hissed lightly at Shuniji. As much as Seika would love to sit there and listen to Shuniji b***h about not being the center of attention. She had more pressing issues, this other chick trying to close up on her. At first it was hilarious, exciting even! Now she was getting angry. She didn't like people getting close to her, emotionally or physically. Not. One. Bit. There were only a select few she would permit to do that.

However, Seika wasn't interested in fighting this chick head on. She took advantage of the slow progression of Akeru's deadly spin maneuver and performed a quick side flip with her free hand, avoiding the kunai. Then pushed off into an aerial twist flip. A loud splashing noise confirmed exactly where she had landed. She stood on the water's surface, luckily it wasn't the section that was on fire. Then again...it didn't look like Seika cared at the moment. Her glare was enough to make a grown man piss himself.

"Stay out..." She seethed with a vicious glare. "STAY OUT OF MY FACE YOU PERSISTENT ********> Seika bellowed furiously and made a hard punching motion with her fist. Almost instantly a swarm of at least nine white snakes shot out of her sleeve and raced for Akeru, each of them went a different direction, but all of them had the same target. Long blades ejected from each of their mouths, making Seika's killing intent even more obvious.
