Chie watched as clones emerged. This would do well for her plan. Meanwhile, Jun’s uprising would be met with a security guard, a bulky man of over six feet, approaching her. “Mr. Oode does not take personal questions.” The guard tried to say to appease the minor protest. This was when Masamune, however, became overwhelmed with shame. He hunched over and fell to his knees as he began to cry. “Mr. Oode!” Another security guard shouted as he ran to the side of the leader. He was about to carry the man away when one of Zehara’s clones started to cause the protestors around him to start directing their attention towards him. “Everyone remember who the enemy is. We can not afford to fight each other now.” The security guard shouted at the crowd while he whispered in his ear piece to take Zehara’s false persona out of the group. This disorganization gave Chie the perfect in.
First came the mist. A dense mist overtook the residential area out of no where. To most people the area was impossible to see through. For Chie, however, it was child’s play. She had a perfect view of the area as her hands flashed a few more signs. The security guard next to Ooda was suddenly unable to move. It was a simple ninjutsu, something which if he had any ninja training then he could easily break out of. Chie was willing to bet since they were following this whack job, however, that they were hired more for brawn than brains. Either way, Jin and Zehara have their chance now to extract the target without the situation escalating to violence here. The question was whether or not they took it. ◆￤ CHAKRAx 920/ 920x◆￤ STAMINAx 675/ 675x◆￤ RYOx 2,900 x◆￤ ACx 17,300 ◆￤ Ninjutsu / Ninjutsux◆￤ B-RANK x◆￤ Geninx◆￤ KONOHAGAKURExxxxxx

Jun took one look at the clone standing next to her shouting out dissent and recognized it as Zahara. It was his signature, popping up on her mental radar a few times. Maybe he had picked up on what she was trying to do and offered to join in. It worked in her favor. The more real life coincided with the image her illusion was attempting to paint the stronger it would feel. She tried taking a step forward to climb on to the stage as the man she was targeting dropped to the ground in tears. Burly men shouted out in surprise and worry at their leader, one even stepping right in front of Jun to get her to back down. Jun kept talking, carefully lacing her chakra in her words to keep her target down. "Exactly! Remember who the enemy is! Brother and brother shouldn't be the ones fighting each other. We just apparently survived an attack from outsiders. Fighting on the inside will only weaken us further!" Jun figured that was what someone who seriously cared about the cause would say. She was trying to imagine herself as one someone equally as zealous, only on the other side. A little bit of patriotism could go a long way here. And then a serious mist rolled in to the crowd and shrouded everyone. There was a cry of confusion from the crowd and Jun found herself being shoved forward from behind. She stumbled just past the big security guard and grabbed on to the stage, hoisting herself upward. She froze for a moment when the other guard came in to view, but he wasn't moving. "It must be hard, seeing your world fall apart before you. I remember what that's like, so I'm sorry it's happening to you. Maybe if you weren't being a tool it wouldn't have happened." Jun was talking to Masamune as she grabbed him by the arm and gently pulled him to his feet. If he tried to resist she wasn't much for physicality and would do her best to hang on and keep him subdued.

The emotions imparted can be anything from ecstasy, despair, overconfidence, grief, etc.
It seemed to have gone to plan as of now as Zahara lurked underground, skulking like a shadow as he could see the presence of everyone on the ground level. The world all around him was white washed in a sea of grey except for the occasional colors of chakra within the people in the streets. he couldn't linger forever in the rock, having a need to eventually resurface for air and to make his strike while the opportune moment was making itself known. He recognized Jun, speaking to one person but he sensed the chakra networks of different people were disturbed -- he guessed she was weaving her own trick among the sheep.
The disturbance was something that took his eyes a minute to notice, everyone had a specific mark but when the same disturbance occurs from person to person, it wasn't a coincidence. A heavy chakra signature flowed over now in the streets that seemed a bit too coincidental to be a natural occurrence, mist filled the air and quickly thickened enough to create a commotion among everyone.
It was a bit of an annoyance to handle but the real Zahara was able to pierce the chakra-filled fog easier with his Byakugan even from underground. He wasn't quite sure on which man Chie was referring to but with his keen eyes he made out the chakra signature in a shield -- the target perhaps? With the remaining use of the Military Movement ninjutsu, Zahara rose closer to the surface of the ground and then under the cover of the dense mist he broke out from underground in a full long sprint.
Zahara's clones were effectively almost blind in the fog if it wasn't for the Byakugan from the real Zahara. The one clone closer to Jun receded back into the crowd in an anticipation to make a move, "Follow me when you can." the transformed clone of Zahara said in a whisper to Jun right before he dipped out.
Chakra expelled from his body as he blurred right past three other people, slipping under the notice of his prey's entourage of security. The body flicker technique propelled him quicker than any of them would be able to get a glimpse of in combination with his Byakugan, Zahara reappeared next to his quarry in a visual blind spot, behind the right shoulder opposite of the man's shield. His fingers curled into a tight fist as he bent down low in a crouch before rising to a stand with a swift uppercut coming with him aimed square at the kidney. Should he connect, the coiled energy built up in his muscles out erupt out in a explosive concussive force powerful enough to send the man reeling at least twenty feet like a log was being washed away by a strong current. If his strategy was successful, the clone that had broke off from Jun's side would meet with an intercepting jump to the target with an attempt to grab him by the shirt and use a body flicker to transport him at least three blocks away from the crowd.
In the midst of the confusion, regardless of he hit the target or not, the two remaining clones in the crowd used the transformation technique with the mist as cover. The real Zahara's thoughts fresh on the target's appearance, they each mimicked the man with the shield - minus the shield's special properties. "What's going on, what is this infernal mist!? The first imposter yelled amongst the crowd, and the second imposter made himself known with a second shout to draw more attention. "Hold fast brothers and sisters, hold fast! You must believe the devil's fog to be gone with your faith!"
Zahara wasn't sure what he was doing with his two clones other than to create a commotion and even create some hysteria with their target's cronies. Chie seemed afraid of them being rallied, so what if they argued amongst each other? Hard to bolster when the herd has two wolves in sheep's clothing.

Chie was beyond perplexed when she saw Jun taking control of the crowd. Was she truly that skilled at genjutsu? The way she infiltrated the crowd and slid that man, and now the crowd, under the influence of an illusion was astonishing. This was not some lax student like she thought the girl was. This was someone with a truly potent talent for espionage. It made it equally as frustrating when Zehara, who Chie thought could be trusted with a stealth based mission, chose to assault the target rather than simply body flickering the opponent away from the crowd.
"What the hell is he thinking?!" She said panicked as she was sure someone would hear the sound of the punch. Thankfully, Zehara was not as foolish as the girl thought. He attacked from an angle that none of the guards could see him at, and then used his clones to stir up more confusion within the crowd. Thanks to the actions of the two of them, the crowd was losing momentum. Meanwhile, Chie saw Masamune stand up. She was sure the impact of the punch was more than enough to break the man out of the genjutsu Jun had trapped him in. He seemed to realize that his plan was intercepted before it could be followed through with, which caused him to flee into a nearby building. "Time for damage control." Chie said as she moved from the window. She appeared at the town square as she already used the transformation technique to appear as Masamune Oode. As the fake man, she had the mist dissolved as she stood and addressed the crowd.
"Brothers and sisters, I must apologize to you all." Fake Masamune said. His eyes and voice showed sincere signs of remorse. "This young lady, this future of Konoha, has provided questions which shake the very foundation which this protest was built upon. We are stronger as a whole. Although we are all torn and all in pain, we must unite now more than ever. We cannot afford to run from the problem." Chie made sure to put an extra emphasis on the word run to signal her teammates about the fact that Masamune made a dash for it, assuming the two were not aware. "No, we must all not go to the Hokage's office, but instead go toward the path of our united destiny!" Fake Masamune pointed at the building Oode fled to as Chie kept up the facade. She hoped the two would catch on, since she was not particularly sure how many more hints she could give. ◆￤ CHAKRAx 900/ 920x◆￤ STAMINAx 675/ 675x◆￤ RYOx 2,900 x◆￤ ACx 17,300 ◆￤ Ninjutsu / Ninjutsux◆￤ B-RANK x◆￤ Geninx◆￤ KONOHAGAKURExxxxxx
Things hit the fan like immensely quick after Jun thought she defused the situation. One second she was helping Mr. Oode to his feet and the next Zahara had practically put a fist through him and then there were so many false men running around that Jun just nodded her head because this all made pretty good sense. "Yeah, that's fair." Jun pushed her hands in her pocket and watched the play between all of the false Masamune's. She couldn't help but laugh at it and shake her head. "You guys are so funny." Jun was completely getting the picture. Yeah totally. Masamune Oode had gone away and Chie was trying get the crowd to calm down. The genjutsu had been released and Jun was feeling like the job was pretty done. "I know this may seem wild but I am actually hungry again. I think I'ma go for some food again. See you guys later!" Jun waved at Chie and gave her a proper thumbs up and a wink before walking off. If it hadn't have been for a sudden surge of chakra appearing on her mental radar she would have left entirely from the area. The sounds of the crowd receded from her ears as she unknowingly pursued Masamune through the building he had run through.

Success, the blowback of chakra rippled through Zahara's body as he felt his fist connect wonderfully. Though his plan didn't follow what he had wanted too closely as his clone failed to intercept the man. Bugger, that was going to complicate the mess as he sunk into the ground again. It was the first clone of his to give pursuit instead of the real Zahara who used the military movement technique to move ahead. In his mind he swore a bitter curse and wished the shadow clone could've caught him from the punch and body flicker - now not only was he broken from the illusion but was scurrying away.
His other clones were still in the crowd, though now they poofed once their use was no longer required. Each stepping away from the crowd to fade away so Zahara was left with himself and now the final clone. Through the building, the shadow clone gave pursuit as Zahara followed closely behind, though trailing Jun instead, Byakugan active to keep the clone, Jun and target on his radar.
Jun pursued Masamune from the southeast side of the building with the real Reiko beneath her while Reiko's clone entered through the North east side. The man ran panicked as he tried to flee as fast as possible. When he caught in a reflective surface that the two were still on his trail, however, he sighed. He knew that he failed. His employer was going to have him killed. Since he knew death awaited him, he might as well do what he can to dismantle Konoha now. "You sabotaged me!" He shouted as he turned around, twenty feet away from both. He planted his shield in front of him as the center of the shield glowed bright with electric sparks. Two balls of lightning fired off from the man. One aimed straight at Jun's chest, while the other was aimed at the Reiko he thought was the real one. Meanwhile, fake Chie was still in the midst of trying to calm the rioters, who were slowly departing from the area. Once they all had left without any major threat of re-occurrence, she would join her squad inside. ◆￤ CHAKRAx 900/ 920x◆￤ STAMINAx 675/ 675x◆￤ RYOx 2,900 x◆￤ ACx 17,300 ◆￤ Ninjutsu / Ninjutsux◆￤ B-RANK x◆￤ Geninx◆￤ KONOHAGAKURExxxxxx
"Not on my watch." The clone said aloud as it made its move, soon its use would be expended.
Zahara moved through the underground quickly as he anticipated the target's path, his byakugan being the key to his next strategy. The clone above ground leaped aside of the first electrical ball sent for him, he used the body flicker to propel him to inhuman speeds as he dodged the first but intercepted the second. The fake clone of Zahara was struck square on, the transformation dropping his civilian appearance and revealed the garb of a shinobi for a lingering second as he dropped to his knees. "Heh." he smiled for a moment "I got you lass, better move on." and soon it exploded into smoke, the facade had been released.
Zahara now emerged once more from the ground, using the smoke from his clone as cover. He picked his way out of the ground like one of the walking dead, arms pulling him from the cold earth and springing out into a full sprint. Out from the fading smoke of the defeated clone, his foe would see the same defeated man that been hit by the lightning ball now charging him but now with pure white eyes of the Hyuuga. In the mid point with the distance between his target and where his clone once was, Zahara stopped mid-run so he was at least ten feet away.
"I sincerely dislike people like you using religion to twist people to be your puppets!"
Now with his left hand pulled back and fingers curled, he thrusted it forward with an explosion of chakra released from his palm so an invisible shell of energy was sent careening for the target aimed for his center mass. Unlike his punch from earlier, Zahara dumped a lot of his chakra into this air palm to equate to a B-Ranked Ninjutsu blast.
The shield moved to intercept the force of the strike. There was a moment when a shell collided with the massive object. Reiko's eyes would see on the front of the shield three illuminated dots in a triangular formation. The moment the attack collided with the shield the first dot blinked out of commission, and then the chakra from the attack was completely neutralized. The shield then moved to the side a bit as Musamune moved his head out of cover to glare down the kid who dared critiqued him. "Children are best to control when they have a cause to believe in. Everyone wants to believe in something bigger then themselves. Can you shinobi scum not say the same thing about your beloved Hokage?" He sneered. His face cleared, however, when he jumped immediately twenty feet back. A beam of lightning blasted through where he once stood, as it then dissipated when the target was not hit. From the door's entrance, Chie Saegahara stood. Her finger rose as a little bit of steam came off her index and middle fingers.
"Yeah yeah, Hokage's bad and we're sheep for the slaughter." Chie said mockingly. Her eyes looked at Reiko and nodded at him for doing a good job with handling the situation. She then also turned to Jun, and smiled at her amazing accomplishments. These two were going to be fantastic ninjas. Her eyes became hard as stone as she turned to face the cult leader. "Tell me something though Mister Enlightened. Why corral citizens with no proper combat training into a situation where they're lining up for mass suicide? The Hokage may have her faults, but I can NEVER imagine her sending unprepared people to fight battles she knew that they would fail at." She's arms crossed. Her icy glare could penetrate concrete.
Musamune growled. He shouted as he raised his shield up and collided it with the ground. Streams of electricity coursed through the earth as they were aimed for Reiko and Chie. ◆￤ CHAKRAx 900/ 920x◆￤ STAMINAx 675/ 675x◆￤ RYOx 2,900 x◆￤ ACx 17,300 ◆￤ Ninjutsu / Ninjutsux◆￤ B-RANK x◆￤ Geninx◆￤ KONOHAGAKURExxxxxx
Words would not defeat their opponent and Zahara had long since abandoned any notion of whatever diplomacy that could be accomplished. Anger clouded him more than before as he felt even more compelled to crack his skull like a rotten egg. As far as he was concerned, Chie would probably need to stop him from outright maiming the target from what he said. A low growl came from him with a clenched jaw, teeth grinding as he concentrated on how to approach his target. He was fit and agile even with the large shield, at least able to take one of his enhanced blows and leap a considerable distance but Zahara's attention was on the odd shield.
Zahara was glad Chie made an appearance which could mean the civilian situation wasn't an immediate problem, or it was successfully dealt with. Either case didn't matter however as a new attack was on its way. Strands of hot electricity shot through the ground and he breathed in with chakra flowing visibly through both his fists and the entirety of the legs. Both of his arms moved together as charmed snakes with him lowering into a low crouch as Zahara held one hand behind his back and the other outstretched before him, palm facing up.
He leaped forward now with bent legs springing him forward in a forward dive just as the lightning careened toward the two of them. Chakra exploded out from his jump as the tension built up from his legs released as he moved quicker than he had before. His hand touched the floor and he was in a brief one handed stand for just as second before he completed the full rotation with the left leg coming down like an axe. From the tenketsu of his heel, the axe kick struck the earth and an explosion of white chakra followed suit as the electrical attack was harmlessly dissipated from reaching either him or his comrades.
Following this kick, chakra still flowed through his legs as Zahara regained his balance and pushed off the ground with the opposite foot. He was once more up in the air for a brief moment as the Seaworthy teaching of the taijutsu style was in full display as he moved across the room with the increased speed as he utilized the Undertow teaching. With the distance closed, Zahara curled his fingers as he raised his palms, ready to strike in rapid succession should he get a clear hit.
"I don't talk to terrorists." Zahara said as he bent down low as he envisoned the trigrams in his mind's eye with his palm strike aiming for not him but the shield the target carried. Come one blow, would come two and then three until the barrage would total out to sixty four individual blows in succession. He just wondered that if one strong blow didn't give way, then a barrage of a thousand paper cuts would be worth a try.
Zahara // 235 Chakra 280 Stamina
Jūkenpō Ichigekishin [ Gentle Fist Art One Blow Body ] Rank: X :: Complex Guild Description: A technique born from their innate ability to expel chakra from every tenketsu on their body, a member of the Hyūga clan can hit their opponent with a blast of chakra that will send them flying away from the user. It was also shown that this technique can be used with pin-point accuracy to target the weak point of a technique exemplified when Neji Hyūga was trapped by Kisame Hoshigaki's Water Prison Technique, and was able to dispel it. Can disrupt Chakra structures. Guild Description: This skill thrusts the palm forward into an opponent and releases a burst of chakra that sends the target flying back 5 feet per rank of the technique. The skill can be treated as spiritual when used to defeat an equally ranked ninjutsu, but sacrifices DR to do so. When used to counter a ninjutsu, the attack strikes such as to completely destroy it once contact is made, and the chakra in the strike also protects the hand of the user from it's effects.
Undertow Rank: D :: Training Description: This training focuses on using movement when you attack, carrying that much more force. After this skill is trained, any attack that follows a dodge is treated as a counterattack, and the user's total bonus to reflex can instead be attributed to the strength of the attack, up to your rank of soft or hard physical formless training (E = slight, D = Mild etc.) Particularly useful on some skills in this style, but applicable to any taijutsu or even bukijutsu attack that follows directly after a dodge within reason.
Seaworthy Rank: X :: Complex Description:With an infusion of chakra into the limbs, a practitioner of this style can backpeddle far more effectively than without. Should the need to immediately disengage arrive, this skill provides a burst of speed equal to the rank of chakra put in for a single movement. Make no mistake, this single step, hop, leap or otherwise will go double to normal length and faster relevant to the paid chakra. This skill, conversely, can also be used to quickly close the distance after a quick movement backwards. The former is a supplementary action, while the latter is an offensive one that can trigger the Undertow passive.
Hakke Rokujūyon Shō [ Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms ] Rank: B :: Complex Official Description: The Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms is a maneuver of the Gentle Fist fighting style. It is reserved only for the Main branch of the Hyūga clan. This technique is used to close off the flow of chakra through sixty-four chakra points of an opponent's Chakra Pathway System. This eliminates their ability to use chakra for quite some time and makes it difficult for them to move.Once someone is within range of Neji's field of divination, he assumes a Gentle Fist stance and begins to deliver the attack: First, two consecutive strikes to make two • Second, another two consecutive strikes to make four • Third, four consecutive strikes to make eight • Fourth, eight consecutive strikes to make sixteen • Fifth, sixteen consecutive strikes to make thirty two • Sixth, another thirty two consecutive strikes in succession to make a total of sixty four strikes. Guild Description: If the first two strikes connect, then the entire combination will continue unabated. In addition, this skill locks a target out of using skills requiring chakra for two posts, up to B rank.
Chie was alarmed at the look Zehara gave. He was not thinking critically. There was something personal about this mission she had not realized. 'Is this why he broke the momentum of the group and made the direct attack?' She thought as she recalled earlier in the day when Zehara broke the formation of the espionage mission and launched a direct attack. At first she thought, given the skill of her student, that he noticed something she didn't and thus improvised an answer to a perceived problem. Now that she saw him, however, she realized that may not be the entire truth.
She was further stunned by the fact that Zehara positioned himself into a position to take both the blows of her attack as well as his. The chakra and stamina tax posed upon him to negate two strikes must have been tremendous. She was sure now he was acting on instinct rather than reason. That this man was so offensive to Zehara's ideology that he had to be put down. This was a particularly dangerous place to find herself in, since she was in part responsible for making sure these two kids made it out of this alive. Still, Chie allowed Zehara to launch his strike upon the man's shield. She too noticed the disappearance of the light, and also figured that, while Zehara was acting on impulse, his pure skills was causing him to pick apart the perceive weakness and overwhelm the opponent with multiple strikes.
Meanwhile, Zehara's attack collided with Masamune's shield. As predicted, within the first two strikes both dots disbursed. Logically that meant that the shield would then succumb to the chakra within the finger strikes so that Zehara could neutralize the shield, and thus take care of Musamune. However, that didn't seem to be the case. In fact, as Zehara continued the sixty four palms, with each hit he felt himself losing the chakra the moment his finger touched the shield. When the attack was finished Zehara would find himself especially drained, and a laughing Masamune bellowed from behind the shield.
"If you don't talk, then you might as well listen." He said mockingly. Zehara would then realize that his hand was stuck on the shield. He couldn't remove his fingers from the last blow he struck. Meanwhile, as the connection continued, Zehara would feel more of his energy drained. "You see, UHV is all about destroying the ninja way. The best way to do that, however, is to use your own tools against you. That's where this baby comes in." An electric surge coated the shield, transforming its colors to a steel red outline and a goldenrod color shield plating. "Its code name is Unity Aegis. It was forged by a particularly clever Ninshuu scholar. What it does is that, as long as the same target attacks the shield three times with their chakra, that our chakra pools become synced. Therefore, your chakra based attacks can no longer hurt me." He said as his eyes started to peer from the side of his shield. As it did, two fingers coated in crackling lightning appeared as well. "Of course, this is a one way street. You may no longer be able to attack me with any of those hyuuga tricks, but that doesn't mean I can't hit you with chakra attacks." He said as a beam of lightning was about to fire from his fingers.
It was at that moment, however, that an air pocket formed between Zehara and Masamune. It then burst as it forced Zehara's hand to come free of the shield, as well as propelling him a few feet back. It also pushed Masamune back as well, while also disrupting the lightning chakra with wind ninjutsu. Meanwhile, from the distance Chie was seen with her left hand extended toward the two, and the incantation circle she used to merge the handseals disappeared once the technique was finished. A second incantation circle appeared as her right hand extended, her chakra being molded through the circle as the earth around Masamune erupted into spikes of stone. Naturally the man leaped away from the strike, but the shield he used caused his shoe to be scratched slightly, causing a tear in the leather of his boot.
"Zehara stand down. If what he said is true then you have to get out of the ring before you get yourself killed." Chie ordered as her right hand lowered and the incantation circle faded. She was fairly certain that at this point she could handle the threat herself. After all, the shield already bonded the p***k to Zehara, so as long as it couldn't restart itself she was sure she could outlast the man in a match of stamina and work him down until he exhausted himself. Masamune laughed as Chie tried to steer Zehara's course. "By all means little boy. Run off to mommy and let her fight your fights. I'll be sure to remember you as the child who cowered when he met a true challenge." He goaded to Zehara. He knew that as long as Zehara was giving him free chakra that he could easily take out him and the pink haired girl. After all, all he had was taijutsu and chakra manifestation, right? It's not like he had a big stick to swing as a back up plan. ◆￤ CHAKRAx 870/ 920x◆￤ STAMINAx 675/ 675x◆￤ RYOx 2,900 x◆￤ ACx 17,300 ◆￤ Ninjutsu / Ninjutsux◆￤ B-RANK x◆￤ Geninx◆￤ KONOHAGAKURExxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The plan to overwhelm had been the exact opposite when he collided square with the shield, Zahara felt the drain and taxing effect of its sorcery as final strike collided. With a slight pull, he couldn't move as realization set in that he was stuck like a bug in a web. s**t. Chakra was useless now as he heard the crackle of electricity while his foe explained his faults, after three strikes he was unable to use his chakra to injure him. So that means you can be hurt by your own chakra then? Zahara was almost ready to make the most of his predicament as he stared down the electrical blast before there was a drop in air pressure and a chakra aura - Chie's chakra.
The blast came and Zahara anticipated the wind with gratitude as he jumped back to land on his feet, appreciating the new distance between the two of them. Mentally kicking himself, he forgot he had a ninjutsu specialist to assist him but at the same time he didn't want the help. He was already standing standing up with a series of handseals going when his comrade told him to stand down, Chie would need a little bit of confidence in his skills Zahara thought as he stared right at their foe.
He's overconfident in that shield now, and he suspects the Gentle Fist style is my only approach. I cannot use any chakra attacks to harm him, so this is bad. Zahara dropped his arms by his sides now as he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as his kimono fell off his shoulders. He was half naked as he stood there without the kimono covering his chest save for the several bandages that were wrapped around his right shoulder. Hesitating, Zahara's hands were shaking and clenched his jaw with his eyes reopening. Pale white eyes still stared back at the shield-man and in his radial view he saw Chie.
"Chie. Do me a favor and keep what you're about to see a secret." His voice was shaky as he clenched his fists as if on cue she would here the sound of cracks and snapping with a slight twitch of his right arm. "This is going to hurt..." He said with a slight grin, uncertain if he was joking to himself or his opponent and then Zahara broke off into a sprint.
My only play here is to go off his confidence and blindside him, father wouldn't agree to me showing this but this is all I got. By the time he was halfway upon reaching his foe, Zahara brought his left hand up to his mouth then as he breathed out a sphere of flame, the great fireball technique. The fireball flew on ahead of him which wouldn't serve as his main attack, but a ruse. With the fireball careening toward his opponent, it hid Zahara from his line of sight more or less and now he ran close behind it.
By the time it would time it would come within range of shield-man, Zahara would jump up into the air so he would be able to reach over the man's large shield. Through the fire and flames of the fireball, if it hit or dissipated, Zahara would come through his own attack with his right arm stretched back and left foot stepping off the top of the shield, the Byakugan helped Zahara pinpoint his movement as the man's chakra network stood out even among the flames. With his palm now coming down, with what seemed like a normal palm thrust of the Hyuuga. But now the cracking reverberated and Zahara's entire right arm seemed to rip itself apart from the elbow down, small white bone sticking out as a cluster of spiked protruding out with a single longer one growing out from the center of his palm like an outstretching lance. The Kaguya bloodline, and now it was aimed square for the man's arm that carried the shield.

Chie felt the sudden need to avert her eyes when Zehara undressed himself. She was usually not so modest, but there was something about the openness of their location which made her initially blush. When Zehara told her to avoid telling anyone what she saw, however, she was immediately concerned. Her eyes looked back as he darted forward. 'That idiot!' She mentally shouted as she readied her attack. As she did, however, her eyes widened. She got a good look at Masamune, and knew that look in his eyes. It was the cold hard stare of a man ready to kill.
Masamune knew what was coming next. Every motion Zehara moved he felt. He was aware now of what was on the horizon for his next attack. And how he was going to end this. Lightning chakra channeled into a hard blade in his hand. He allowed the shield to absorb the fire. He waited then for Zehara to appear above him. As the boy went for his arm, Masamune moved to shove the chidori right into the boy's head. He could live his life without his arm, but he knew this kid needed needed a head in order to finish the fight. All that mattered to him was getting one shinobi dead. Then he could enter the afterlife a hero of the UHV. This kid's pride was going to be the death of him. A death as fast as lightning.
At least, that's what he thought. Chie appeared suddenly from a burst of wind to grab Zehara. The momentum in which she moved caused the two of them to fly over Masamune and avoid his attack. As the two flew over the man, however, his strike missed his mark for Zehara's head, but the side of the chidori slashed along Chie's right leg. The shock coursed through her body as when she crashed alongside Zehara twenty feet away, her body convulsed for a second before she snapped out of it. "Damn that hurts." She groaned as blood trickled from the wound. She doubted she could stand for long periods of time on it. As she sat up, she pushed the boy out of her arms. "You know... I expected this kind of nonsense from a few of my students. Mostly because I've worked with quite a few idiots. But man, I would never have envisioned this level of bravado from someone who presented as well as you."
She picked herself up a bit, but winced at the pain which came from her leg. Nevertheless, she forced herself to her feet. "You had a good plan, don't get me wrong. Reveal something that apparently was so top secret that even I am expected to keep it under wraps after this fight. But let me ask you this simple, honest question. Why the hell are you trying to do this alone?" She glared down at him. She was not amused. The pain also did not do anything for her mood.
"That's supposed to be the difference between scum like him and ninja like us. People like him act for their own self interest, which is why he has to fight alone. It's why no one will die for him. We're not people meant to fight alone, however. All we have is each other. We are stronger because we have unity. So I really need you to remember that, because I can no longer win this fight alone either." Her gaze turned to Masamune, who aimed his shield toward the two of them. Electric chakra charged on the outside of his shield. Chie's right hand rose as her body tilted to her side. An incantation circle appeared in front of her open palm hand. She then held out her left hand to Zehara. "We can still win this. We can end this now. But we can't end it as two individual fighters. We just need to work together." All Zehara had to do was take her hand and the two of them could finish it together. He still had the power on his own to finish this fight, but to do so would put him in more danger. With Chie's lightning ball being charged, she was giving Zehara one chance to join her in ending the foe with one shot. ◆￤ CHAKRAx 785/ 940x◆￤ STAMINAx 675/ 675x◆￤ RYOx 2,900 x◆￤ ACx 17,300 ◆￤ Ninjutsu / Ninjutsux◆￤ B-RANK x◆￤ Geninx◆￤ KONOHAGAKURExxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The crippling strike was ready to strike true even as his foe rose his own arm up, more lightning crackling with the high pitch. A bit of fear settled on him as he realized he might actually die there but in his radial sight, he saw an incoming source of chakra he identified as Chie. Just as she grabbed him, the bone spike protruding from his palm missed it's mark and just nicked him with but a flesh wound. The near miss of the electrical attack aimed at Zahara's head were only a few centimeters away until he was pulled away and the blade instead caught Chie on the leg.
"Damn it!" Zahara shouted instinctively with his attack being ruined, trying to break out of her grasp but the speed of her wind found them both already several feet away and crashing into the ground. Zahara made it a point for him to take the full front of the crash landing with him landing first which only caused him to wreck his injured shoulder followed by a roll across the ground from the sudden stop.
He lain for a second as he let the bones recede back into his arm, blood trickled from where the wounds in his skin. Pain shot from his shoulder and now from where he used the bones, his eyes settling on Chie with his pale eyes and brows furrowed. He was silent as she ridiculed his plan as he rose to his feet as he let the anger fade away but he didn't say anything as she continued.
"Because you had a better chance to strike him head on than to save me" He said matter of fact in his reponse to satisfy the question of why he was acting alone, though it was only half of the truth. Helping her up when she kept the little speech going, which was filled with wisdom, he kept his focus on his chakra and noted that he was running a bit low. "Ridicule me on philosophy when this man's breathing through a tube and without his teeth."
He clapped his hand to her extended left came as he worded his indirect threat to his foe. Anger still burned in the back of his mind and it had been enough for him to ignore the fire burning in his right arm. Now he took the cue with Chie's invitation to Korabo and figured he would use one of his signature techniques. He held an odd stance with his right hand outstretched and palm facing their foe. He brought back his left hand up beside his ear with chakra flaring alive around his left palm. On Chie's cue, he would shift his entire upper body with a single step forward, leading with his left side he would thrust the charged palm and fire off a high powered Air Palm identical to the one he fired before.

"Idiot." She said with a smirk. This kid really was going to be that stubborn. Boy was he going to get hit with a bat known as karma when this was said and done. Till then, however, it was closing time. Despite Chie's disdain in Zehara's life choices, the two synced their chakra perfectly as their body movements moved in rhythm of each other. When the two moved as one, both shot forth their palms as lightning and air pressure merged as one crackling force. The bolt flied forward as a ball of lightning fired from the shield of Masamune. The two forces collide, but Chie and Zehara's blast overwhelmed the attack and collided with the shield, the shield flew from Masamune's grasp as it disbursed into various pieces. "Now go!" Chie commanded as she let go of her grip. Her left hand rose as her right hand moved back, causing another incantation circle to appear. Masamune was stunned in a cowering position as Chie successfully paralyzed his body. She knew it would only last for a moment, but it was definitely more than enough for Zehara to capitalize on. ◆￤ CHAKRAx 775/ 940x◆￤ STAMINAx 675/ 675x◆￤ RYOx 2,900 x◆￤ ACx 17,300 ◆￤ Ninjutsu / Ninjutsux◆￤ B-RANK x◆￤ Geninx◆￤ KONOHAGAKURExxxxxx
