Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hateshi wakes up in a dark room. He activates Issekigan trying to find a door, [What the?] He looks around frantically. Ouja speaks on the other side of the wall, "Looking for a door?" Hateshi gets back then notices someone else in the room. Ouja tells him, "Dinner." He Inyus into the room. Hateshi flash steps trying to strike him but Ouja grabs him by the wrist, "You're in no condition to be attacking me." He squeezes hard breaking Hateshi's wrist. Hateshi screams in pain dropping to the floor.

Ouja grins, "I wonder how long you can go without blood when you don't have this?" He dangles the suppressor shot in front of him. Hateshi gets up with his wrist healed, "I'll die before I drink her." Ouja laughs, "Sure you will." Hateshi remembers his training, [If only I could use Haradokei.] Ouja asks him, "Haradokei? Hehe what's that? You're secret weapon?" He uses his psychic power on Hateshi who wriggles on the ground in pain, "I hope it's good because you better not be wasting my time." Hateshi yells, "Get out of my head!!" He flash steps at full speed attacking Ouja. Ouja rapidly blocks and dodges, "Hey! You're faster than last time." He punches Hateshi's fist breaking it then throws him into the floor, "Keep up the good work." He pats him on the head, "I'll be back in a little bit." Hateshi lies on the floor unable to move, [I don't have enough ryoku to get out of here. Kuso.] He coughs up blood and deactivates Issekigan to save energy, [If I use Myaku I can break through the wall.] His stomach grumbles, [How long was it since I last ate? How long have I been here?]

Tahei flash steps quickly, [Come on Hateshi keep going. We're coming.] Nisemono was following him, "This isn't good. He stopped using ryoku." Tahei says, "I know. At least we know he's this way." Below them at street level a news reporter was on TV, "Latest news. A very dangerous ninja from the Hannin Prison named Ouja Chishio attacked a hospital a few days ago. There is a missing patient named Hateshi Hashi. This is a picture of him the night he was at the hospital. An URA squad has locked the place down so that no one can go near it but we've managed to get some information from the Kusane." They show footage of the interview with the Kusane who tries to calm them down, "It's nothing to worry about. We're on it..." Someone asks, "Why can ninja such as Ouja take patients out of hospitals just like that? Do you have *any* kind of security measure in place to prevent this...?" The Kusane answers, "Yes we have security measures. Don't worry the rest of the patients are safe. Hateshi was specifically targeted..." Another asks, "Safe? This is hardly safe! My wife's in there!" The Kusane flash steps out of the crowd and the TV goes back to the news reporter, "There you have it. Are ninja "protecting" your hospital? Do you believe you're safe? Visit our site where you can cast your vote on our new poll, "Ninja - Protectors or Posers?" "

Ouja comes back, "Ah. I see you got thirsty." Hateshi stands there looking at the girl. Ouja giggles, "Now, it's time for a blood bath." Hateshi turns and looks at him giggling. Ouja grins, "Sounds like fun huh?..." Suddenly Hateshi flash steps punching him in the heart breaking his ribs sending Ouja flying through the wall. Hateshi falls to his knees having trouble breathing. Ouja brushes himself off and spits out blood, "Eh. It seems you still resent me even in this state." He flash steps punching Hateshi in the face then grabs him by the throat, "You listen to me. Don't *ever* hit me like that again. Got it?" He throws Hateshi into the ground then starts walking, "Enough messing around. Come here!" Hateshi gets up and struggles following him. Ouja tells him, "See you're weak right now. That's because you need blood. We're going to go get blood. Understand?"

*meanwhile*

Tahei gets up, "Wait. Is that?" Nisemono nods, "Hateshi is using ryoku again." Tahei yells, "Move it!" They start flash stepping as fast as they can towards Hateshi. Tahei has so much rage Nisemono has trouble keeping up with him, [Keep going Hateshi. We're coming.]

They pass a TV billboard. A newscaster was on, "This just in! Two vampires are slaughtering people in the Kajengu Block! Anyone near there needs to evacuate immediately! Police have already been dispatched and... wait! The police dispatched there have already been wiped out! Ninja are being dispatched as we speak! I don't recognize if they're Kumojou but hopefully they can stop them."

Ouja giggles, "See. Blood is so great isn't it?" *slow motion* Tahei comes in behind him with a giant sword. Ouja grins as the sword comes crashing down at him. Ouja appears on the edge of the hole that Tahei made, "Wow. I wonder how much that's going to cost?" Tahei raises his kodachi then says with pure hatred, "I don't care." He rapidly swings the sword everywhere trying to hit Ouja who flash steps dodging everything. Nisemono approaches Hateshi, "Hateshi. It's me. Come..." Hateshi giggles, "Bakaera." Nisemono looks mad, "Hateshi! Don't...!" Hateshi flash steps and rapidly attacks Nisemono. Nisemono has trouble blocking then disappears. Hateshi looks around sniffing, "You playing hide and seek again? Hehehe." Nisemono tells him, "Hateshi! Wake up! You've already killed a lot of innocent people!" Hateshi thinks for a second, "That's right. There's a way to see you." Nisemono knows what he's doing, "Ya kuso." Hateshi rapidly switches between different levels, "I found you!" He reaches full speed beating up Nisemono. Nisemono flash steps away, "Damn it! Don't make me hurt you!" Hateshi punches him through a building, "Komonakaa!"

Nisemono gets up, "Tahei! You want to handle your student or am I going to have to fight for real?" Tahei yells back, "Go ahead!" as he continues fighting Ouja. Nisemono takes the Hitoro stance, "Get over here so I can knock some sense into you!" Hateshi flash steps in front of him taking the same stance. They both start switching stances until Hateshi tries to kick him in the face but misses. Nisemono strikes him in the ankles, grabs him by the feet then throws him through an office building, "You can't beat me in a Kamae Lock." Hateshi flash steps trying to punch him in the face. Nisemono tilts his head to the side, strikes Hateshi's wrist then knees him in the stomach sending him flying back again, "You're going to have to try something else na. I've studied Kamosu Kai longer than you." Hateshi flash steps kicking him up in the air, flashes then kicks him down, "Pound it!" Nisemono crashes into the street and a few cars that were evacuating swirve out of control crashing into each other. Nisemono gets up, [What the heck was that?] He sees Hateshi executing hand signs then the road breaks up trying to crush Nisemono. Hateshi giggles, "Come on! Stop moving around so I can squash you!" Nisemono was sticking on the side of a building, [When did he learn Earth jutsu?] Hateshi starts launching blocks of concrete at him. Nisemono strikes each one breaking it into little pieces, [Oh no... He's using Ouja's jutsu!] Suddenly a shadow grabs him by the legs and slams him against the buildings.

Nisemono fires Myaku blasting off the shadow then flash steps onto a building, "I'm bringing you in." He takes out his cell phone. Hateshi giggles, "Over my dead body." He calls and the Kusane answers, "What?" Nisemono tells him, "I need Sleeves at my location asap." Kusane asks, "Uh... wait. Nisemono?" Nisemono says, "You want me to authenticate?" The Kusane says, "Oh no it's okay. I'll tell him." Nisemono hangs up and puts his cell phone away. Hateshi starts giggling hysterically, "I don't think Sleeves is up to the job na."

Hateshi flash steps pounding away at Nisemono, "Let's see if you're still alive before he gets here!" Nisemono notices, [What the... He's executing jutsu and hand to hand simultaneously!] A block of bricks comes out of the building hitting Nisemono from behind. He turns to the side defending against Hateshi's attack from both sides, [I didn't know he was capable of using this level of Kamosu Kai.] Hateshi laughs maniacally and Nisemono looks at his neck, [Myaku!] Then punches him away. Hateshi's neck heals and he flips around and lands sideways on a building. He stops for a second smiling, "Ooh. Sleeves is here." Nisemono looks at him, [How does he know that?] He sees a helicopter coming in, [Finally.] Sleeves is standing at the door, "Over there!" The heli turns heading towards Nisemono. Hateshi executes hands signs and Nisemono flash steps canceling his jutsu, "Get over here now!" He fights Hateshi as Sleeves shrugs, "Close enough." He jumps out and the chopper flies away.

Sleeves lands and Nisemono tells him, "We're bringing him in alive. Ouja's got control of him." Sleeves nods then flash steps towards Hateshi. Hateshi flash steps punching him in the face. *slow motion* Sleeves bandages fly out tying up Hateshi's arm. Hateshi tries to pull away then takes out a kunai trying to cut it. Sleeves shakes his finger, "Caught you."

More bandages fly out from his arm and Nisemono flash steps behind Hateshi striking him all over the back then the bandages wrap around Hateshi. Sleeves sighs, "Okay we got him." Nisemono looks at Hateshi, [He can cancel atten attacks?] Hateshi struggles trying to break out but Sleeves laughs, "Good luck." Nisemono strikes Hateshi in the back of the neck knocking him out, "There. Take him back..." He quickly raises his hand deflecting Ouja's kick, "Go now!" Sleeves grabs Hateshi and starts running for it then takes out his cell phone, "I need that chopper back!"

Ouja starts beating up Nisemono then Tahei jumps in, "Initiate Kaisuu!" Nisemono flies back and disappears. Tahei continues fighting Ouja then uses a air jutsu to blast him back, [We can't fight him much longer. Especially if he activates his full power...] He sees Nisemono, [Oh no.] "Run!" Ouja sees him too, "Running low on ryoku are we?" Nisemono flash steps away as Tahei tries to hold Ouja off.

Tahei struggles to defend himself. Ouja giggles, "Getting tired already? Pathetic." Tahei feels himself slowing down, [Kuso. I won't last much longer.] Ouja launches a fireball at him so he uses an air jutsu to deflect it, [At least I saved Hateshi.] Ouja flash steps going faster and faster, "Tell me. Can I outrun it?" Tahei gets hit around 100 times then drops to the ground.

Ouja appears standing next to him, "I would drain every last drop of your blood then gain your idensai... but I'm waiting for Hateshi." Tahei asks, "Why?" Ouja grins, "I had a vision with him in it. I noticed something about his eyes that were different than all of you previous Hashi. I think he's able to access something greater than Level 15 Issekigan. If so I'll wait for it." Tahei hurts as he laughs, "You really think that's a good idea? You wait too much then he'll just beat you." Ouja grins, "He can't kill me. It doesn't matter. 100 years. 1000. He can't catch up to me." Tahei tells him, "You forgot our clan was bred to evolve faster than what other humans are capable of." Ouja says with anger, "Don't EVER call me human!" He uses his telekinesis crushing Tahei into the ground. Tahei starts choking, [Kuso. I can't go down like this damn it...]

Suddenly hundreds of blades of grass come out of the ground and Ouja flash steps away. Tahei takes a big breath. The Kusane shows himself, "I'm taking Tahei with me." Ouja giggles, "Excuse me? I'm not done killing him yet." The Kusane executes hand signs, "I may not be able to kill you but I can tell you, you will be in a lot of pain if you attempt to assault us." Ouja recognizes the jutsu he's about to use, "Aka no Kenwa (Circling Blades of Red). Nice choice but you're not fast or strong enough to fight me." The Kusane asks him, "You may be fast but can you outrun my blades?" Ouja thinks for a second, [The jutsu he utilizes are said to be the fastest physical attack based jutsu in the world... And the Kusane's jutsu execution speed is usually quite fast too...] "Let's see who's faster..." The Kusane finishes the jutsu creating hundreds of blades of grass surrounding him and Tahei. Ouja was in the middle of flash stepping, [What the f*@k?] He stops just before touching the blades. The Kusane asks, "What? You thought you could flash step fast enough to get near us? Try again?" The blades go back into the ground and Ouja thinks for a second, [There's no way it's that fast... there must be some kind of optical illusion to this...] He flash steps at top speed and comes nearly close enough to hit them.

As he's almost there the Kusane executes the jutsu and hundreds of blades pop out of the ground and back before he can dodge them. Ouja drops to the ground bleeding. (( Wish I could insert cool music here lol )) The Kusane picks Tahei up, "You cannot outrun my blades. They're far too fast for you." He turns away and Ouja gets up, "Where the hell do you think you're going?" The Kusane grabs Tahei , "I already told you that." He flash steps and Ouja gets pissed, "Hahaha! Now I'm going to kill the both of you!" He chases after them launching random jutsu at the same time.

Hateshi wakes up in a hospital, "Ejowa..." He gets up feeling fine, [What am I doing...] He has flashbacks of the people he's killed and starts feeling sick, "Ya kuso..." He pukes on the floor and a nurse notices, "Oh my god. You're a ninja. You could at least puke in..." Hateshi asks, "Where is everybody?" She answers, "Who's everybody?" Hateshi says, "Where's Tahei?" She picks up the phone, "I don't know honey. Wait you mean your sensei?" Hateshi nods and she says on the phone, "Oh hey. A patient just threw up on the floor. I need a janitor up here please... Okay thanks." She hangs up, "I think Tahei was in here last night. I'll see if he checked out yet..." She turns around and Hateshi sees too. Tahei was walking towards them with crutches while drinking sake, "Nah I'm still here." The nurse smiles then leaves.

Tahei slowly sits himself next to Hateshi, "You're a pain in the a** you know that?" Hateshi giggles, "Sorry na." Tahei takes a sip, "You know I almost died back there." Hateshi looks away, "How did you...?" Tahei answers, "Kusane." Hateshi was amazed, "HE got you?" Tahei takes another sip, "Yeah. Been a while since I've seen him fight myself. Was surprised he could take on Ouja." Hateshi asks, "You think he could beat him?" Tahei laughs, "No! You crazy na." Hateshi giggles, "So everyone's okay?" Tahei says, "For now."

Hateshi has a head ache. Tahei puts his hand on his head, "You'll be fine." Hateshi has visions of the fight, "Where's Nisemono?" Tahei answers, "Ah don't worry about him he's fine." Hateshi then sees someone he recognizes but can't remember who it is, "Was there a shadow ninja?" Tahei stops drinking, "Yeah... Shin I think it was..." Hateshi asks, "Where's he at?" Tahei says, "Hmm... I guess he's... over..." Hateshi can hardly hear Tahei then suddenly hears Ouja's voice, "You were trying to escape. If you try that again I will kill you." He sees Shin, "Shin..?" Tahei says, "Hateshi... Hateshi!" Hateshi opens his eyes, "What..?" Tahei asks him, "What did you see?" Hateshi was confused, "I don't know.." Tahei says, "You saw something. You said Shin."

Ouja walks into the room and greets Shin. "So are you ready for your training. I will allow you to obtain the 5th eye." Ouja cuts off his arm and a clone appears. "You will have to fight him while i put pressure slowing you down." Shin takes the dragon style stance and awaits the clone to attack. The clone quickly charges Shin and Shin activates his Akkigan. The clones stops and says seriously. "If you keep using that eye you will never obtain the 5th. Shin quickly releases the Akkigan and begins to try and fight the guy. Shin charges but is moving only have the speed he would be without the pressure. Shin is barely able to block fast enough but he isnt able to put enough ryoku in the blocks to stop him from being thrown back. Shin hits the ground and tries to get up as fast as he can. [I cant keep this up the pressure is over exerting my muscles and this armor is just ******** slowing me down.] Shin quickly throws off the armor and charges in becoming able to lay a hit on Ouja. Ouja smiles and begins to move faster. "s**t!" Shin yells as he begins to rely on his eye. Shin becomes on the defensive once again defending everyone of Oujas attack until he lands and up kick sending Shin flying. Shin slowly gets up from the rubble and charges in.
*12 hours later*
Shin is on his hands and knees panting and Ouja looks at him. "Stand up." Shin looks up and slowly stands up. Ouja activates his Kuriagan and performs a Hitokage Kai. Shin sits there as the stream of energy enters his eye. Shin begins to scream out in pain "LET GO!" Shin quickly performs a jutsu that he had never known but it came to mind. He caused shock wave but the damage on Shins eye had become perminent. He eye had turned into the level above the 4th that was only induced by high vilocity of pain. Shin charges at Ouja and begins to beat the crap out of him. Ouja keeps smiling as he keeps increasing the force and continuing his training.
*another 12 hours later*
Ouja again repeats the process but this time the eye fully changes. The Kuriagan changes the four strips begin to curl more and make little circle before going out across the eye. Shin falls to the ground and blacks out. Ouja picks up his body and laughs. "There you are. You are now faster then Hateshi and can capture him for me. Unlike my pathetic Kiu couldnt." Ouja throws Shin in a new living quarters and shuts the door. "Sleep well we are going to train your new jutsus tommorrow."

Shin wakes up with a spliting head ache. As he rolls he rolls right off the bed onto the floor. Ouja quickly runs in trying to see what was going on. He laughs "So you are just feeling the effects of your new eye you havent quite settled into the new vision. But no matter we need to train some more. Shin stands up and begins to follow Ouja. Ouja pulls out a pure ball of souls. Shin looks at it hungrily. Ouja laughs "Your soul curse is about to eat you alive have this." Shin sticks out his hand and absorbs it quickly. They walk into the room and Ouja laughs "Alright your reyabi is an ancient artifact that has many powers you unleashed one that was only half of its potential. By saying Bankai you allow the sword ulimited power. You should be able to use a unlimited source of ryoku and unlimited speed allowing you to appears as a ghost making you fast enough to out run Issekigan." Shin begins to laugh "Why do i care about out running Issekigan?" Ouja gives him a glare and smiles "Your going to capture Hateshi for me." Shin shakes his head "Are you kidding the kid that i try to save i now have to capture what a load of bull." Ouja laughs it happens when you change bosses." Shin looks at him and pulls out his Reyabi. "BAN-KAI!" Shin becomes completely black and begins to look around in this form. "Wow everything seems in slow motion." Ouja flash steps infront of him and Shin quickly dragon palms him back. "Wow. Last time i fought you i couldnt see it i just had to rely on trying to predict your movements through Kuriagan and now i can see you instantly the whole time." Ouja laughs "Kids and there new toys." Ouja walks up to Shin and places his fingers on his temples. "This is going to hurt just a little." A pulse of information flies into Shin's head. Shin falls to his knees and he begins to have fire drip from his nose. "You now know everything about your clan. I didnt have enough time to train it to you but it should come instinctively now." Shin looks at Ouja and bows to him. Ouja laughs "Get up you need your rest for tommorrow. Thats when your mission will start." Shin stands up and walks to his room. [You guys obviously dont care about me or you would of came and rescued me. So i guess Ouja is now my new leader.] Ouja begins to laugh "Everything is going according to plan. Seiryuu is now under my control and Hateshi will soon be mine."
