Welcome to Gaia! ::

Akira was barely listening as the man came towards him. However, it was a lot simpler to notice him coming when there was no one else would be coming with him. Akira opened his eyes and stood up slowly as the man entered the alleyway. This man was obviously not from Hidden Waterfall, that much was certain. When he drew his blades Akira watched closely, waiting for a point to defend against. It came with his attack. Akira brought out his own soaring short swords and broke through the attack with a cutting wind. It seemed like the defense that would tell the least about Akira. His next order of business was activating his kikuta gaze. He did not want to waste too much time on this enemy.

A technique that he was familiar with himself, it was true that that attack gave away very little about the ninja using it, but for the moment this person's assailant knew all he needed to know about him. As the justsu flew at him he side stepped using the body flicker jutsu to give him time to avoid the attack as it cut his own attack into ribbons before speeding past him to impact across the street. As the winds whipped by this man his cloak flew upwards once more revealing a strange patterned white garb trimmed in black. It only possessed a single sleeve leaving the right arm bare. Patterning the wrist of the right arm of the initial attacker was a series of strange loops and curls reminiscent of the markings that covered the whole of a formerly notorious Fuhrer's right arm only compressed into a single band like some sort of dark and mysterious bracelet tattooed to the skin of this man. Seemingly ambidextrous, the attacker drew a blade with his left hand from the sheath at his hip as his cloak fluttered upwards. "Shine brightly, Nijigasumi." This man of mystery muttered these words his face covering veiling the words from hearing. As he spoke these words the blade let out a blinding flash of light that would stun almost everyone in the area. Normally Akira's sight would return momentarily from a flash like that, but as the white blinding light began to fade, it was replaced only by darkness. Normally the kikuta eye would be able to at least somewhat pierce the darkness, but it was if he had been reduced to being a member of the branch family, his sight completely robbed from him. He would soon realize that his sight hadn't been the only thing he had been robbed of in that flash of light, but his hearing as well. He had been rendered deaf and blind in the conventional terms. Without his ears to hear he wouldn't hear the man speak again from the core of the darkness that now flooded a good sized field around him keeping prying eyes from looking in. "Swallowing Orb of Rainbow Mist" The blade in his hand formerly seemingly composed of a hilt and a length of light energy vanished leaving him holding only the hilt. Then Akira would begin to feel his world close in on him from all sides as a orb of light began to crush him with unmerciful force.

((Your going after me with Koujin???? Thats messed up.))

Akira put his hands up to the barrier that was closing against him. He was not trying to keep the barrier from closing in on him. On the contrary, Akira did not seem to be trying at all. The surprise of losing his sight had long taken its effect and Akira had gotten over it. Now he was working to survive. For a moment his hand would glow nearly as bright as the barrier. Akira would transform the orb that was crushing him into solid wood. With that done Akira's shoulder began to glow as a mark began to form. Akira would wind up a punch before pulverizing part of the orb, enough to make his way out of the thing and made his way through the opening.

[[Has Noir forgotten that Akira is a Jinchuuriki? xD C'mon Val. Don't tell me your going out that easily]]

Tsugime's haze was sent straight back at him as a refreshing breeze swept through him. He was lifted off the branch for a few seconds before planting his feet on it once again. He realized that eventually only one would be left standing and wouldn't waste his chakra attacking both. He stayed up in the tree looking down below at the two Moon ninja brawling to the death apparently. By now the villagers had been evacuated and the exits had been covered. One thing was certain: By the end of this battle there would only be one Moon Ninja left in the village.

((Something is telling me that I am making a mistake taking this long to mount my attack.))

Akira . . . well lets just say that does not need sight and hearing to mount an attack. Akira had began to hum the moment that he had gotten out of the light orb and that was a good thing. The song was barely audible but it would be quite potent. The moon genin's attack would not touch Akira but would simply make a partial dome around Akira, not trapping him at all. The warding melody would also deflect the light swords coming at him. Akira would preform a set of hand signs and a disk of moon light would appear in the air.

Akira was feeling the wind as he preformed two techniques almost simultaneously. The wind was rushing towards him and he was going to have to do something about that technique that was coming his way if he was going to get out of this alive. The first thing he did was simply touch the ice that was around him. He would leave it at that for the time being while he took an emensly deep breath expelling a large amount of iron sand from his body into the air. Simultaneously, the ice exploded into shards that were going in all directions, causing the Iron sand to move a lot faster. Akira completed a hand sign at that point causing an electric current to flow through the sand paralysing all of the Koujins leaving them prey for the shards of Ice. Finally, at the last second, Akira jumped forward and to the side to avoid the clones and Koujin.

Akira had used a reusable technique. That was fortunate for him. The moment that he had heard the explosion and felt the wind fluxuations he made the mokuton sign and conjured up a wooden half dome. It did the job of absorbing the lightning style and stopping the ice slash though barely. Akira took that moment to finally deal with his injuries. He brought his hand up to his eyes and ears and began to concentrate his chakra. He was no real medical ninja but he could fix something like this well enough to make it workable. He could work with what he had none the less.
