Welcome to Gaia! ::

Neji took the hit and fell back. he stood up a moment later. that wasn't very fun and it hurt!

Kikyo looked at the fight he better not hurt either of them! she thought, clenching the railing till her knuckles turned white.
"Kikyo-chan" Rin said "calm down!"

Gen'yumaru didn't even bother to stop the trees from hitting the gate. The Rashamons were powerful gates that could resist some of the strongest attacks, this gate was the same one used against Kiba's enhanced Piercing Fang. The gate suffered damage from the trees, but it still stood idle upon its place.

"This gate is Sakon's oldest summon, you'll have to focus more effort in its destruction. By doing so, you exhaust yourself and become weaker as the fight goes on. Indeed, you'll have to be very creative."

The ground under Neji buckled and gave away, two hands emerged and grasped his feet, Sakon's head rised from the ground as well. His body had transformed into its Second Curse Stage and Sakon's skin was red and his head resembled that of a demon.

"Suprise Neji!"

Gen'yumaru's right hand lit up again and he charged towards Neji with that same hand put forward, aimed towards Neji's chest. The whole played death was just a ruse to hold Neji in place for Gen'yumaru's Five Elements Seal.

Sirius whips a wire at the gate, making an odd tone as it bounes off and retracts and returns, "Ok, but for now." He bursts towards Neji, he whips a wire into each of Sakon's hands and he intercepts Orochimaru, using his razor-wire armored leg to kick Orochimaru hard in the knee, forcing one of his legs in front of the other.

Sirius spins the wire rapidly around his leg shredding Gen's hand, it's ultrasonic vibrations could now shatter the fragile hand bones as well as shake off the blood. Sirius notices the gate, "It's either ready or it's shot it's load and is resting, I can relate. But I've got another idea." Sirius uses he kekkei genkai to disappear and reappear on top of the gate, "Resonance." The sound of a thousand tuning forks rings out as he sends a massive tone through the gate. It was concentrated on the weakened portion he struck earlier, but the shockwave could shatter natural rock and metal throughout the arena. He had struck it earlier to find it's natural vibration frequency, now he played it back massively amplified.

Neji cursed under his breathe as he grabbed a kunai. he stabbed his leg with it, hoping to get Sakon out of him asap. "go away!!!!!" Neji hissed quietly, stabbing his other leg "now!"

Kikyo had the railing in her hands and Rin restraining her from attacking Orochimaru. this isn't gonna work! Neji-kun and Sirius-san are dead meet! she though as she gripped the railing even harder.

Neji stabbed his stomach, after his attempts had failed. "get lost!" Neji hissed to Sakon "or i'll kill us both! and trust me, i will too!"

"Kikyo" Rin said, her Sharingan activated so she could see what was being said "Neji is threatening to kill himself and Sakon with him!" Orochimaru is toast when i get a hold of him! Kikyo thought, making a dent in the railing from gripping it so hard i'll make sure of that! she felt a small voice gnawing at her from in her head
"just kill him now!" it said
"no! not now! too many people are watching!" Kikyo replied to the voice in her head "but i will if either Neji or Sirius die! you can count on that!"

"Oh you mean this? Its merely a flesh wound."

Gen'yumaru licked his own blood from his hand, even having a look of pleasure from it as he licked the remains from his face. Sakon was determined to stay within Neji, he didn't back down even with each stab taken.

"Neji, calm down. This is only a duel remeber? With me joined to your body, neither of us can move very well without permission from the other. Gen'yumaru is just putting on a show, so just calm down and watch."

Gen'yumaru stepped up to the gate and started one of his forbidden Jutsu. To summon something that was banished to the underworld was a great feat, even for a Kage or a Sannin and Orochimaru was about to do just that. As Gen'yumaru performed the Jutsu, his form changed back to Orochimaru. Manriki Kin sat idle on his throne, his eyes have shut in a way of boredom. Kodo growled, this was nothing but a diversion to attack Manriki Kin and maybe even Kane.

"Summoning Jutsu: Impure World Ressurection!"

The gate started to tear away and only the portal stood where that gate was, growing larger and more violent each second.

"Come those who have lsot their souls to the Reaper, let yourselves be free to serve me once again. Life, Water, Earth, and Lightning, serve me to protect that you hold above all else!"

With those final words from Orochimaru, four coffins rised from within the portal and planted themselves in the ground. The crowd gasped as a realization of this technique.

"Ninja of Leaf and Sound, its time to strike!"
