Kama actually laughed a bit tapping his thigh with a small kind of pale hand. You could see the strings streching back to his puppets, but if you looked closely you could see one of the figures standing there wasn't attached to the boy. The other sign that this person wasn't a puppet was the sight of breathing, in soaked conditions like this, it was easy enough to tell who was still living. "Nah, I may have been born on a different continent, but even I know it's whatever vulture gets there first gets the prize. We won't interfere in the dash, but we can scavenge wherever we like, plus we have more friends then you do." Kama stuck out an impish tongue at the man, before leaping backwards in to a nearby tree blending in to the foilage two pairs of eyes watched him for movement.

Rolling his eyes, Crius shakes his head sloly as well. "Well. I hope you swallow that beautiful black liqued while you're off hiding." He says, as he turns and begins walking the opposite direction though in the direction of the fighting anyway. Those that were following Crius, be it puppets or otherwise, did not appear to have even a single string connecting Crius to any of them. Which should give the appearance of not being a puppet at all. Though Crius would not make any means to show if they were or not, as he heads towards the thicket. Staying away from the black puddles of water, but not caring much for anything else as he moves closer at a slow pace towards the area. [125]

Akira sighed, it seemed that he was tangible once again. That was not good. This was not looking good for him, especially if he was not going to be able to use Lunar Phase as a defensive technique. He was going to have to assume that most of his defensive techniques were sealed as well. That meant that he was going to have to do something that he did not like doing. He was going to have to go on the offensive. He hated to fight. He preformed the swamp of the underworld technique directly under Richard. Directly after that he threw a kunai at Richard, making another set of handsigns, using the shuriken shadow clone technique on it, multiplying the one kunai into a few dozen.

Richard watched as the Kunai's started to come at him but that did not stop him. Richard lifted a hand as he used his Rock Control before creating another hollow sphere of solid rock around Akira, laying it so that if he did try to escape, it would not be broken easily. In addition to that, there was already some water within the sphere which would be affected by the already active Symphony of Water which would then converge upon him. As for the incoming kunai, Richard merely lifted his arms to avoid getting stabbed in the eyes as they struck him completely. Some of them flying through the hole that was already in his chest. Richard was bored again. Being undead could be very boring as you really can not die the same way as everyone else. Oh well.

Akira started to hum as the rock control began, Akira thought that he was going to be crushed by it, so he began to hum the ward melody to form a barrier. The rock control did not crush him but it was smart to start humming since that saved him from the symphony of water. Not taking too much more risks, Akira concentrated his chakra into his hand, causing a sphere of chakra. He then quite simply pushed it against the wall of the sphere, using that technique to break out of it. He looked in his pack and was happy that he had brought his kunai. He was not too happy that they were not having the kind of luck that he had hoped they would.

Richard found that the wall was being pushed against by the Resangen technique and started to laugh. He was already at the sphere, having managed to waddle his way through the swamp rather quickly, using the fallen debris as bridges for most of the way. Placing his hand upon the sphere, the Earth Barrier Clay Prison technique from Hidden Sound taking place, absorbing chakra from within so he could use while at the same time and effectively eating away the Resangen while fixing the wall of the sphere quickly. With that and the Symphony of Water still in effect, he was practically as good as dead.

Akira was surprised that his rasengan simply disappeared. He figured that he needed to find another way out of this technique. He made a few clones within the dome. He needed to Find a way out but while he was waiting he decided that he would try the Lunar destruction technique once again. All it would take is a few minutes, about half an hour for the technique to drain Richard. He decided to concentrate on that while the music continued to protect him. In a little while he would have to get out of here though.

((Edited to account for the change in Jutsu Shou))
Richard used a single hand seal, using the Breaking the Habit technique from Hidden Heaven to use the Jutsu Shou technique once more upon the draining technique, negating it's uses for that moment while he then started to clap, using his free hand upon the earthen sphere. Using the technique Encore, Encore upon the Lunar Destruction technique to cause him to use the move repeatedly and nothing else during its duration. All Richard needed was only a couple minuets as he was drawing more chakra than Akira would have expected and since all this guy can use was a halted technique, there was nothing stopping his Symphony of Water to consume him.
((Encore, Encore is in my bio as well and it lasts for 10 posts. It was a technique accepted by Drago. Breaking the Habit is found in Hidden Heaven so you can look there if you want.))

Akira was finally starting to notice his chakra being drained. He was beginning to get scared. At the same time he was enjoying the encore so he had the want to preform the Lunar destruction technique, which he did. Richard was going to begin to feel drained once again. However Akira was getting to a point that he rarely gets to. He would not last too long in this particular mind set, that was his problem.

Hoshiko after stepping off the boat would hear the sound of thunder and beginning the falling of rain against the ground . Opening her umbrella Hoshiko would soon start making her way toward the village . It would have been sometime since she had been home but it seemed that not much had changed . Walking down the road she would gaze around the surroundings and not even a simple smile would graze her face . [ words: 72 , total : 72 ]

Before reaching the village Hoshiko would wonder off the beaten path and soon arrive at a burial ground . With the umbrella still open and over Hoshiko's head shielding her form the rain that poured over the region . She moved with slow steps as she would reach two grave markers . These markers were the resting spot of hoshiko's parents . With emotionless eyes she stared at the markers The only sound that she could hear was the sound of rain drops hitting off the top of her umbrella . " I wont fail you ." Hoshiko whispered to herself as she looked down at the mud . She would then turn away from the graves and make her way back toward the hidden rain . The ost important thing she had to do now was train and train till she had reached a new level of power . [ words : 140 , total : 212 ]

Reaching her area of training Hoshiko would close her umbrella and let the rain splat against her skin . Holding her head up in the air she would close her eyes . feeling the rain hit her face and slide down the side made Hoshiko feel whole and relaxed . Soon she would raise her hands and start to combined hand signs . " Bunshin no jutsu ." She would watch as three clones appeared beside her . " Alright i got that and it's too rainy to use origami style . " Hoshiko was deciding on what she should work on but nothing came to mind . She was lost and what she should do now but that wouldnt stop her she needed to get stronger by any means . So with that she continued to work on her hand signs and chakra control .

Ryuko blinked a few times as she watched the fight continue only to tilt her head to the side, wondering how long it would take. She was slightly worried that they would end up with a cold for standing out in the rain for so long. However, seeing this fight in the rain was just epic.'I give it another hour before it's done,' A small smile appeared on her face as she then turned to the right side only to see two male figures in the distance. They seemed to be watching the fight as well..." Hey Matsuri," She asked with a small paused. "The two men over there. They have fallowers, think it's a cult?" She asked out of Boredom only to have her eyes twitch when seen one of them jump in to a tree.
"Nah there puppets," The child said as she stared at them. Ever since the fight had started she had been watching the other watchers of the fight, just in-case Zeru was still in the area still. However when seeing the two other males with the puppets she couldn't help but to stare at them. They both seemed familiar and if they where from Sand then they had to be. But there where other villages that made puppets so she couldn't tell yet. "We should go see Chiyo and eat ice cream with her after this,.."

Fuka, Zeru Zeru slowly moved across the roof top to which he had been watching the two females, his prey. A slow and twisted smirk coming across his lips as he shifts his gaze to the fighting for only a moment. Should he attack now? WHen they were waiting for it. Or wait and attack when they least expect? Was that even possible? He shrugged shifting and moving ever closer as his gray eyes remain locked on the two's form. [78] Kaguya, Akai Grinning wickedly, Akai shifts in the tree he had been leaning against and looked around slowly. His ice cold gray eyes scanning over the area as he adjusted the black steel-plated umbrella with his right hand as it's shaft leaned against his right shoulder. "This is getting boring..." He mutters more to himself then anyone that was or may be around him even while he looked around. He had been in the fight before, and now it all seemed to be a waste of time for him. Too much rain, it was getting to be too warm for him here. Bringing his right hand up and creating a swift set of hand seals. Before he mutters something unheard by those around him. Suddenly his chakra pulsed and the entire area began to freeze over almost entirely. naturally the strength of the water based technique Symphony of Water was not effected due to the strength of it's caster. The remaining area was soon frozen, aside from the black liquid that continues to flood the area. ANy normal rain, soon became snow as the area grew colder. [185] Akasun, Crius Crius smirks slightly, as he watches a white clad male cause the area to grow cold. it was interesting to watch, but it was just a show to Crius. Smirking darkly he makes his way in a swift movement, towards the two females that were standing not too far away. He could have swore he recongnized one, and that was as good enough a reason to show up before them. With a simple body flicker skill, that was copoed by the two standing on either side of him. he soon appeared before Ryuko and Matsuri. Grinning behind his black, silver horned Oni Mask. The two figures, presumed to be puppets appearing to either side, though the female, known as Maeva looked almost far too real to be a puppet. the one to Crius' other side. Took the clear appearance of a normal puppet. Downed in a plain black cloak. Though no strings connecting the puppet could be seen. [158]

"It's snowing,,.." Ryuko muttered as she placed her right hand in front of her body, hand being opened. She wanted to see if she could catch it. When one fell in to her hand it quickly melted making her left eye twitch from annoyance. 'Damn rain watered snow...' Thinking this as she then looked back towards the fight, waiting to see what would happen next. "If it starts hailing where getting the hell out of h-" Before she could finish her last word one of the males she saw was now in front of them in a blink of an eye. She couldn't tell who he was thanks to the face mask however he most likely wanted to keep it that way.
A large childish smile appeared on Matsuri's face when seeing this happen. She was in awe. She was more then happy to see puppets in general thanks to them reminding her of her older brother who happened to be a puppet user. Even more then cutting people open and seeing inside them.... She then stared at the puppets for awhile, taking in every detail that her eyes could see before looking up at the mask man. He seemed familiar but thanks to the mask she couldn't tell who he was. " Out of curiosity did you get your puppets made by Chiyo, kankuro and Sasori or did you make them your selfs?" She asked, still holding the odd smile. "Sorry it's just that some of their limbs look very familiar,"
A small screeching sound could be heard from the roof Zeru was one. After it the sound of large wings could be heard before a soft wind would go threw his hair. If he looked behind him there would now be a medium sized bat, just sitting at the end of the roof top.
