Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hey, watch out~" Thantos yells, as he begins following in order to play this new game. Though as soon as he spoke he made a series of hand signs, and used the Cloak: Art of Threatening Technique, in order to make his opponent paranoid. And believe an attack was going to happen from any unseen angle as they ran. Grinning, he follows in a swift unhindered pace. For anything physically solid that may have gotten in his way, could be easily bypassed by his ghostly form. The wings that were once flapping around him, wrapped around his form to make the hooded cloak once again, granting him an almost realistic look like the Grim Reaper if only glanced at. With a twisted little grin, Than sped himself up a little enjoying this game, as he attempts to make his opponent paranoid. Since there was nothing else, he made a couple more hand signs, and used the Prayers Useless technique. In order to prevent summons from being used by his opponent.

"Ugh.. Massive clone jutsus..." Than says, as he signs and then continues moving after one of the clones. Instead of simple tagging it, like you would expect, he made a series of hand signs and then drew any and all evil energy from the area, even that of his own. With that, and the ability known as Purge. He became both stronger, and faster then he was before. With a gaping grin, he moved fast enough, to slide a closed Windmill shuriken through the first clone, and then the second he came across. Not knowing they were clones, but he also knew that it was at least a two out of fifty chance that it was not. Oddly enough, his weapons seemed to be solid, until he placed it back to where it was held. Though it simply vanished once returned to where it belonged. With a sigh, he went after the next Demon, striking out with a regular hand, to have it go into the opponent and use the Blood Clots technique, if it was the real one, it would hurt Demon, if it was a fake, it would vanish. It was as easy as that.

"A tiger...." He says simply, before he vanishes in a spiral of ice shards cast by the tiger and the lightning striking together. Moment's later, he was behind the first group of opponents to which had attacked him, and with a series of hand signs, he then used the Evil Reincarnate Technique, causing each of the clones to become deathly ill. The technique slowly spreading across the area, to effect the other clones and potentially the shinobi, as Than moves down and attacks the first set of clones with his weapons alone. Each strike effecting them as if he were solid, though the only solid part were his weapons as long as they were in his hands. Than growls, as he turns and uses the unnatural speed of his still active Purge ability, to move towards the other attacking clones, attacking them with the kunai as well, in order to kill these.

"Mud now?" He says, though he stays where he was. The chakra assisted mud attacking him, although as soon as he was touched, his Mugen Kougai took effect, draining the chakra from the mud, and returning it to it's more realistic state. To which allowed him to simply pass through it unharmed. This being something a normal shinobi could not do. Granted him a decent advantage over the others. THough he released his Purge technique's effect. He did not release the Evil Reincarnate Technique's. And now, the entire forest worth of clones and even Demon himself, should be at least partially feeling the wave of physical sickness that would be washing over their body at this very moment. Than frowns slightly, clearly, he needed to find a way to see the opposing ninja. For this way of moving around and trying to find his opponent was not useful. Perhaps, when this was all over. They could have a decent talk. After all, Than had not found an ally as of yet, has he? Shrugging, he begins his search. Hoping the sickness would effect their ability to keep jutsu in the works.

"And now shuriken? Hmm..." He says, though he weaves to the side, and through a tree anyway in order to avoid the shuriken. Grinning suddenly, Thantos Descartes rises up and into the air, soon finding himself looking down at the ground below as he makes a few hand signs and then spreads his arms wide. The folds of the cloak, forming into the mass of demonic and angelic wings again, as he then spins around once. Pure iron sand falling from hsi form, and then instead of just falling, it spreads out around the area of the forest before falling in such a way as to rip though trees, even while it was clumping together to form spikes. This was the Satetsu Kaihou technique, causing small spike like balls of pure iron sand, to rain swiftly from the sky almost out of no where. And gain momentum to be almost literally like a meteor as it would then rip through trees and the ground itself throughout the entire place. This was blunt force at it's best, yes. But it was also needed, if he wanted to finish off the remainder of the clones, and wound his opponent in such a way as to stop this futile effort of hide and seek. As soon as his spinning ended, he looked down, watching with the single shown inverted eye at the area below, as he waits for his opponent to flee from their hiding place amidst the trees. And protect themselves from this lethal rain of Iron sand. Made only more deadly by the height it was given to fall. If even one clump were to strike his opponent anywhere like the head, or torso. It would mean almost instant death. And with the Evil Reincarnate technique causing his opponent and the clones to feel sicker by the minute, Demon's chances were minimal, for he could become woozy if not accustomed to such a sickness, and be thrown off enough to be hit vitally.

Grinning, Thantos vanishes with the use of a body flicker, and simply a second later, he was a few feet from Demon, hovering calmly before him as he then speaks in his oddly echoing voice of another realm. "If you make one more clone, I would happily shake your hand, kid." He says, though not mentioning how this next clone, would be useful in the least towards a ghost shaking the shinobi's hand. Than's single shown inverted eye watching the man calmly, as he crosses his arms across his bare and transparent chest, in a sign of waiting for the male to preform this task for him. Naturally, a clone could be made by Than himself, but it would be as ethereal as he was, and completely useless to the task he wished to preform. The same happy grin was displayed over his lips, as he waited. He was after all, always one to enjoy games. Already the jutsu he had used to cause sickness to his opponent, was gone from the air. So as to not make anything worse, and to keep the side effects from hurting him in the least.

"Ahh.. I see.." Than says, as he strikes the back of the clone's neck with his tangible hand, chakra zaping and knocking out the clone almost instantly with the use of the Nervous System Confusion Technique, before Thantos vanished into the knocked out body of the clone, through his clan's Possession Technique. The clone slowly rose with an odd air about it, before it's neck shifted and snapped at an odd angle. A moment later, the neck of the clone straightened to a correct position, and it raised a hand out to grasp Demon's. Than had easily managed to possess the unconscious body, and was now making the gesture that he had promised to make. A twisting little smile forming across Demon's clone's lips, as Than smiles the same unnatural smile from within, though of course. Everything else was unnatural about Than, so why not his smile? The same inverted gaze though now using the colors of Demon's eyes as a reference instead of the black and white that they normally were when Than looked at someone, peered past the sockets of the Demon Clone's eyes. Awaiting this simple gesture to be completed, even as the clone spoke, with the exact voice of Demon, yet with an echoing effect. "So you've crossed paths with beings such as I before? Or are you just joking around like some people do, when confronted by beings they do not completely understand?" He asks with the same smile.

"Thantos Descartes. Though I normally go by Than." Than says, as he nods slowly upon listening to Demon's reply to his question. Pulling the clone's hand free. He grins and makes a couple hand signs, activating first the Purge ability. And then the Constantine ability. Once the ability was activated, he began shifting features about the body, moving the way Demon looked entirely until it resembled more like a wingless solid version of Than's ethereal form, then of Demon. Although he then canceled the technique, leaving the changes to the clone to stay as they were. Than knew he could only last in this clone for two hours in the longest, so he was really just messing around with his possession capabilites. Before he would have to return to his normal being. "A person, not a being.. You say. Well, what gives you ideas like those?" Thantos asks, as a single eyebrow, the one that could be seen between the part of his now long palely blonde hair to which covered one eye, but not the other.
