Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lightning was not a good choice of attack methods. The bolt of lightning connected directly with his palm, but had no affect at all. The lightning just seemed to vanish as it entered the influence of the area of Absolute Zero. Lightning based skills were all based on the rapid movement of electrons towards a specific target and the Absolute Zero skill was developed to halt all molecular movement thus neutralizing the summon's attack. Falling earthward the glow fading from his hand he preformed a short set of hand seals activating the Double Vision genjutsu. As Akuma hit the ground it would seem that there were now two identical copies of Akuma. Akuma charged forward with all the speed of a mizu activating the Hien skill on the fly increasing the viable range of his blade marginally.

(( It would seem that way, Akuma is kinda crazy...))
Akuma paid him no heed, charging forward preforming even more hand seals. Akuma howled brushing his fingers across the ground. "Avalanche Talon." ice spread out from under Akuma in mere moments the whole battlefield would be covered in it providing a zero friction surface. Akuma's speed only increased as he shifted the flow of his movements so that he was balancing on the edges of his wooden sandals the metal inner soles creating a perfect skating surface. "Vanish!" Kama drew both blade katanas slicing in a horizontal x pattern purposefully making it seem like his blow wouldn't land, but the added blade length of the Hien would put his opponent in range.
3/8

Never one to be entrapped by one of his own clan skills Akuma jammed the slightly bloody katanas into the earth. Akuma formed two speedy set of hand seals. Suddenly Akuma had replicated 50 times the real Akuma disappearing in the resulting poof of smoke. This simple subterfuge of Bunshin no jutsu plus his underground fish projection skill had effectively hidden him underground. He knew just what type of drain the demonic ice mirrors could have a Mizu, his current opponent had just finished another battle it would only be a matter of time until he ran out of chakra. As Akuma flowed under the earth like a fish in water he began forming hand seals prepping his next two techniques.

Drago looked and he sighed slowly as he saw the first Heartless minion destroyed.

"We need to get out of here...they are to strong..we need to form together and defeat these beast or at least see were they are coming from. Together we stand..divided we fall."

Drago said slowly as he scratched his head.

His opponent had fled, luckily for Skye, Akuma's blood lust had all, but faded as he began to regain control over his bodily functions. The part of him that was made from Kama's subconscious was regaining control locking away Shukaku's rage. Akuma began to rise above the ground again, his tired body to fatigued to much to do more then remain in a kneeling position. he heaved a heavy sigh of relief as he was restored to himself the effects of the Hero's fury finally fading. Akuma felt a slight jab between his shoulder blades. "So are you just going to sit there all day or

are coming with?" Akuma turned to find the barrel of Shiro's rifle repeatedly poking him in the back to goad a response out of him. "I don't understand..." Akuma was still a little out of it and still felt slightly drained. "We got a world to save yah know? I can't imagine that something like that would just attack one village. I bet most of them are under attack and with a trick like the one you pulled back there were going to need your help. So buck up and lets go." Shiro turned heading for the docks. It seemed that Shiro wasn't acting as crazy as normal, he seemed almost calm as he

walked away his blue uniform in tatters fluttering in the breeze. Where had he seen this before? it was strange, but for a moment he could almost see Kama-kun walking in Shiro's place. "So what is your name? I never got a chance to ask before...." Shiro turned giving that crooked smile so reminiscent of Kama "The name is Shirokarasu Howard, Shiro for short. How bout' you kid? You got a name?" Akuma stood dusting off his pants. "They call me Akuma Mizu from the village hidden in mist." They began
walking toward the docks Shiro looked thoughtfully at Akuma rubbing the

stubble already growing on his chin. "Yah know.... Have I ever met you kid? I have a distinct feeling that I know you from somewhere..." Akuma just laughed. "I've got the same feeling, weird ain't it? Shiro just nodded rifling through his jacket for something. "Well whatever, yah see I've got this lil voice in the back of my head an it's naggin me to give this to yah. I can't make heads or tails of it, but maybe you came make sense of it. " Shiro tossed Akuma a tattered rag of paper. Akuma halted unfolding the scrap of paper, no, it couldn't be? Could it? If Akuma was reading this right... Kama had drawn a map to where he had hidden Charon's claw. Akuma turned to thank the man, but he had already disappeared in the mist. Akuma knew what he was going to do now, if Shiro was right then mist would be under assault now and he would go to their aid. "Thanks Mr. Shiro... wherever you went..."

Hedoro

Hedoro listened without interrupting; there was no need to. What he said was pretty clear, the only details that weren't said were the ones that were either irrelevant, or impossible to answer. So she remained silent, giving only a nod of acquiescence once he finished. He vanished then, and she turned to take a moment to survey the village. All that had happened had exacted a heavy toll, a heavy toll indeed. It would take the village some time to repair, and to recover the possible wounded and killed. She felt no empathy, even though it was her home village. She did feel some irritation, that others had stolen what she had planned on doing herself at some point in the future.

But the village was not totally destroyed, it would eventually recover. Her vengeance could wait until then. The idea of waiting until they had finally put everything right, and then coming in and destroying it was very tempting, she enjoyed it for a moment. But there was no time to be wasted daydreaming, even now there were more of those creatures attacking other villages. There were a handful of the smallest ones still here, but they would be made short work of by the other inhabitants. She spent another moment enjoying the sight of the destruction, then turned and walked towards the docks.
(20 of ? )

Hopefully there would be a boat available there. Even if it was scheduled to go somewhere else, all she'd have to do is convince the captain to change their course, one way or another. Even if she had to replace the captain, she felt capable of taking command of a boat if needed. But upon reaching the docks, she found she needn't have been concerned. There were boats leaving for every port of call, many people were fleeing the village, even though the incident was done, and it was now more or less safe. She didn't bother trying to convince anyone of this, it wasn't her concern if they continued to run or not. She had a boat to catch.

Aozame reached the Village Hidden in the Rain with a sprint. After he came back from the Chuunin exams, he was shocked to find his village under seige from the heartless. He had only one option. Flee from the village. It was apparent that his village was completely consumed. There was no fighting the darkness. He felt like a coward but what other option did he have? A soon as Aozame reached the entrance of the village, he collapsed on the roadside. He had been running for three days straight trying to escape from the shadow creatures.

[1/7]

Aozame slowly opened his eyes to realize he was no longer on the ground. He realized he was in a house. He slowly scanned around the room to see umbrellas everywhere. Some were in perfect condition while others where torn to shreads. Aozame had heard about a clan in hidden rain that used ubrellas as deadly tools of battle. He didn't understand why but he was sure he would soon find out. "So your finally awake." Said a voice. Thise startled Aozame. He sat up straight to see a boy in a chair.

[2/7]

No older than Aozame. He had two scars going down his face and two threads going through his mouth making him look like and unfinished voodoo doll. "By the way my name is Shigure" ozame rubbed his eye and said "My name is Aozame. I'm from-" Shigure cut in saying "Yeah i know. Hidden mist of the great Hoshigaki clan. So you must be related to the rogue ninja Kisame Hoshigaki." Aozame was a bit irritated and snapped "Well it doesn't take a genius to figure that out does it? What gave it away my teeth or my gills?"

[3/7]

Shigure saw that he spotted a soft spot. "Sorry. I didn't mean to be rude." Aozame was still a bit irritated and replied "You sure fooled me." He then thought he would change the subject. He looked around at all the umbrellas around the room. "What the hell are all these umbrellas for?" Aozame asked. Shigure took it as an opportunity to show off. "These umbrellas are our clan's greatest pride. Hidden among the ridges are hundreds of senbon needles which we can rain donw from the sky" Aozame was intruiqued by this technique.

[4/7]

He turned to Shigure and asked "Think you could teach me?" Shigure took it as an opportunity to make peace. He nodded and got up. He took four umbrellas that were in the corner of the room. "Come on" he said. Aozame nodded and followed him outside. The village seemed very misty. Right outside of the little house was a tall tree. It was tall but stripped off all the green it could possibly have and had thousands upon thousands of puncture marks up and down the bark. Shigure turned to Aozame and said "Alright. This technique is called the Sprinkling needles jutsu."

[5/7]

"Its very simple but deadly. You throw the umbrellas in the air like this." Shigure said. With a thrust downward the umbrellas flew open. He then threw all four of them high into the air. They began spinning in place. Shigure then began making a string of hand signs and shouted "Sprinkling Needles Jutsu!" Needles blackened the sky as they flew out of the umbrellas ridges. They circled the sky a few times like a murder of crows. Shigure then thrust his hand towards the tree and the cloud of needles changed their direciton. They all came down on the tree at lightning speed.

[6/7]

The tree was now cover from tip to root in senbon needles. Aozame was quite impressed. The umbrellas speared the ground neatly closed. Shigure turned to Aozame and said "Now you try. You use your chakra to change the direction of the needles." Aozame nodded and pulled the umbrellas out of the ground. He flapped them open and hurtled them into the sky. As they spun Aozame made a set of hand signs and said "Sprinkling Needles!" Another cloud of senbon needles filled the sky and covered the already acupuntured tree. Aozame smirked and said "That was easy."

[7/7] Sprinkling Needles.
