Open All Warefare is Deception 4 - ‘A Konoha Adventure!’

[Yong]

After breaching the village gates Kiko had moved with haste in the direction of the Hokage’s most likely location, to which simple deduction now pointed her to the tallest building in the village hidden in the leaves…the Hokage tower.

She moved like a ghost, her Sunan disguised puppets sealed away until they were required again, for now though she required stealth rather than the ultra violence displayed at the gates. The small patrols of village shinobi did not seem to be on edge yet, word of her slaughter at the gates having not yet reached them.
Now, as she could see the target building in front of her she found her progress slowed by a small group, far more on allergy than the groups she had bypassed before them. She now stopped deathly still, like only a human puppet could, her inhuman eyes rapidly taking in each detail of the small group. The squad consisting of three younger looking shinobi, mid to late teens, and a much older Jounin, obviously the squad leader and the reason for the youngsters alertness.
“Stay vigilant, the lives of the villagers may depend on it.”

Kiko hugged the shadows above them, her dark chakra flowed through her wooden body, causing an overcharged form of Active Camouflage to hide her presence from the unaware group. Each of the young shinobi scanned the dark area, blindly overlooking her concealed position, though one of the shinobi’s eyes strayed to long on hers before the young man turned to his squad leader, tapping him on the head with the back of his hand. Had she been seen?

“There is nothing there Sensei, though the mannequin did catch me off guard. Ha, clever.” The older shinobi turned to question the young man when his headset crackled into life, a static laden voice crackling over the airwaves.
“This is Sennin Soku. I need every available shinobi at the gates, there has been an attack. Engage emergency protocols."

The squad leader instinctively reached his hands onto the handle of the large blade slung across his back before the message had finished. Too late did he notice the shadows descend down on him, bladed hands sinking elbow deep into the older shinobi’s chest cavity through a gap in his shoulder armor. The man looked startled at his students for a second before sputtering out his last word in this world with a shocked realisation.
“Run!”

The shadow figure lifted its head unnaturally, as the now deceased shinobi slumped lifeless to the ground, a wet, sucking noise accompanied the gravity assisted removal of her hand from the corpse, visceral chunks slopping to the floor from her fingertips. The shadow swayed strangely, gleaming red eyes standing out through the shifting silhouette of the camouflaged marionette. The mouth split open like a hinge joint covered in wet tar, distended jaw closing and opening though not quite in time with the words it now spoke, at first in a feminine, monotone voice though rapidly changing through pitch until it settled on a voice startlingly similar to that of their recently inhumed squad leader…
“No don’t run… I will make it hurt if you run.”

Almost on queue the three young shinobi of Konoha ran…

She made it hurt…

Primal screams of pain echoed through the quiet village, a trio of synchronised agony, then cut off in sudden unison. Once more Konoha soil tasted the blood of Leaf shinobi, the dismembered and eviscerated bodies lay scattered unceremoniously where the pieces had fallen. Just as the killings at the gates, this was a message to Konoha, and if all went to plan, Suna would get the blame.

Now to find the Hokage and take her head.

[Nanjirou Soku]

She had assigned Team Naha for the day, it was an honor for any squadron whether it be a genin team or any other to take up the honor of protecting the residence of the Hokage for any amount of time. Soku had not known there would be an attack, if she knew, this would have never happened.

Almost immediatly, the familar scene hit her first with the odor than the remains of what had been their prized shinobi. Soku slowly walked forward not uttering a word as her two ANBU guards fanned on either side of her blades drawn as the Sennin uttered an single command.

"Search the complex, get any villagers out of there and detain anyone else."

Merely nodding, the operatives moved towards the Hokage Mansion itself bursting into the door as their footsteps faded away gradually searching this way and that.

Soku paid no attention to it slamming her sword tip first into the ground so that it stuck up, she had eyes only for the team of ninja that had been doing their duties when they had been murdered, she wondered how long it would have taken? Someone mentioned they had screamed, it was painful then.

A thud as the woman fell to her knees overtaken by emotion and something else, the ground in front of her moist with her tears as they rolled down her cheeks one hand shaking as she reached out to close the eyelids of one of the slaughtered, they were beyond recgonizable as it was as she inhaled a deep breath.

Who? Why?

The target was clear, she couldn't afford to lose Asuka but she realized the horrible truth, if they had brought her here, she could have been dead. It was better to be on the move.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" She screamed out hoping something would reveal itself.

"COME OUT AND FIGHT LIKE A WARRIOR, COWARD."

Striking from the shadows, hiding behind death, she would not let these crimes go unanwsered.

[Minamoto Daisuke]

Daisuke knew there would be something more to this as soon as the call came in regarding the gates. There was always more to a situation that it first seemed in the world of shinobi; that was the reason why his response to the call hadn’t been to provide potential backup at the gates, but instead to make his way elsewhere. The safety of the village, and by extension the Hokage, was always his prime directive. As such it was only natural for him to vector himself towards the location here the village figurehead would most likely be located, the Hokage mansion.

The cold air rushed past his body as the teenager ran, the eyeholes in his mask let two constantly chilled streams wash over his face. If his physical activity didn’t make him warm already then this would be rather uncomfortable – either way he would be able to bear it and continue on towards his objective. Rooftops came and went under his feet as he ran, the pearlescent blue hue of his iris’ flicked from side to side in an effort to scan the terrain for intruders that may happen to cross his path. There was no luck to be had, even as he brought two fingers up in front of his face to aid in extending his sensory abilities. Daisuke’s teeth ground together in slight frustration before he recomposed himself, there was something afoot and it wasn’t going to be something simple. This was one of the times he had been preparing for as a shinobi. Potential death.

The death he encountered, however, was not his own. The bloody and mangled corpses of shinobi caught his ye as the distance to the Hokage mansion became shorter and shorter. He took note of each one, it appeared to be a regular shinobi team with some members around his age, possibly older. He shook his head at the waste of life, though he knew it was not senseless violence, there would have been a reason behind this – just not one he knew at this moment in time.

Then he spotted Soku, her sharp words surfaced soon after. Clearly, if Soku was frustrated then the opponent was not to be underestimated. Even while the young shinobi as descending to the floor, he continued to look around and take in as many details as possible. His landing moments later was almost completely silent, as he had trained himself to do for some time now. Without wasting any time, the ANBU strode forwards to meet with the Sennin.

“Makara reporting in,” he paused for a moment to allow Soku to take in his sudden presence. “Your orders Lady Soku?”

[Yong]

She knew the Leaf shinobi would be on her trail in short order but as she sped through the corridors of the Hokage tower her ultra fine, mechanical hearing picked up the Sennin’s challenge. Though she could hardly resist a challenge from a Sennin, her training reminded her that she was still on a mission and needed to act professional, even in the face of a challenge.

She quickly moved to the middle of a seemingly empty room with a window overlooking the scene or carnage below. Her body rippled with unnatural chakra as her physical form bulged and distorted. She moved with haste towards the window, her rapidly altering form settling into a stable state just as she dramatically leaped through the closed window with a loud bang.

The red headed, muscular, male meat-puppet hero-landed in the street surrounded by a poetic crescendo as the falling glass shattered around the human puppet’s Sunan disguise. She had landed within talking distance of the pair of Konohan shinobi, though far enough away for her style of combat. Her disguise was perfect, even down to having a sample of the man she was impersonating’s blood, for all intents, a perfect doppelgänger of an ‘innocent’ shinobi now stood on the streets of Konoha, still soaked in the blood of the fallen shinobi around them.

The muscular Sunan Anbu known as Kaen (meat-puppet) stood blocking the two Leaf shinobi’s path, his muscular bulk fully concealing the marionette puppeteer completely within.

The puppeteer spoke, the words moved through meat vocal cords and vibrated the air at the correct frequencies to mimic the Sunan’s true voice (as demonstrated by Akkuma), the words spoken loud and clear, flames enveloping his open, though tensely held hands as he spoke.

”I am Shinku Kaen of the Sunan shinobi corps… but this information will do you no good… neither of you are leaving here alive!”

[Nanjirou Soku]

She lifted her eyes from the eyes of the crippled shinobi to rest on another shinobi that had arrived on the scene. His voice was unmistakable, the very same young man she had elevated to the ranks of the ANBU who now went by the moniker of Makara as her heart began to pound. No more loss, she was a Sennin, people needed help and it was on her shoulders to keep this village in order as she rose to her feet taking in a deep breath knowing all too well that more was immnient, they were not out of the woods yet and no one should think so as well.

As she opened her mouth to issue instructions, they were cut off by the sound of shattering glass, almost like a window breaking and the only words that left her mouth were- "Move!" The Sennin leapt backwards as glass shards hit the ground her eyes scanning furiously to see who had dared to announce themselves in such a blatant manner though it was painstakingly clear as the mysterious figure settled on the ground before them.

Their culprit had been in the Hokage Tower all along. Sunan, he said as silence allowed the two Leaf shinobi to process what had just been said. "Sunagakure, eh?" Soku said toying with the hilt of her blade not making any move though her tone was cold enough that it would probably freeze any sane person in their tracks.

This was however no sane person having commited such blatant murder.

"You have a lot to answer for and we will see to it that you are brought to rights for your actions here today. If you indeed claim to be from the HIdden Sand, you and Sunagakure have a lot of answering to do."

What sort of village couldn't even reign in their own ANBU although she wasn't liable to take the words of a murderer at plain sight if she was being bluntly honest. "You are not even worthy of this steel, you hide behind corpses, that digust me." Her hand fell from the handle of her sword, no, she would opt for something more painful as her eyes glittered a dangerous red before she spoke again.

"Makara, with me."

With that, the Leaf shinobi engaged in a desperate attempt to preserve the life of Lady Fifth and their own.

[Minamoto Daisuke]

Daisuke did as he was bid, almost before the command had left Soku’s mouth, the young ANBU was on the move. His bright blonde hair stayed clamped to his head thanks to the mask and dark robe that he sported. Though it didn’t take long for the fabric layer to be shed in one fluid backwards handspring, revealing the specialised gear assigned to each member of the ANBU black ops. Even without the mask it would have been difficult to pick any emotion from the boy’s face as he shot away from the immediate area of danger. The slight skid that brought the Minamoto boy to a stop left only the feintest tracks in the dirt, and an even less obvious patch of dust in the air.

A keen eye would notice that at some point during his summersault, his right hand had suddenly acquired a number of shuriken that sat primed and ready to be used. There was no talking that the boy needed to do, Soku could handle the ‘social’ aspect of this confrontation – Daisuke would take all the time he could to analyse the target and focus his senses on the individual that went by the name Shinku Kaen. Interesting that such information was disclosed so freely. The blonde boy had never fought anyone from outside of his village, but even so he had taken as much time as he could to prepare for the inevitability that was combat with a foreign representative. This one seemed rather confident too; if it wasn’t for his training Daisuke might have let a smirk creep across his face. Maybe this was the time he’d finally feel what it was like to be hit.

There was no time for thoughts like that though. Not only was Daisuke visually scanning the target, but his other senses reached out to provide as much of an image of the battlefield as he could muster. His mind raced to make the most of each passing second. A variety of stratagems flooded his consciousness in that moment, though many were not suited for combat with a partner, he had to recalculate and go with something new. Ideally, he wouldn’t have tried this in real combat, but it was the best path forward if he were to even attempt some sort of synchronisation with the Sennin.

With his chakra freshly amassed, Daisuke stood ready and waiting. He had to time his first move perfectly – he may have been inexperienced but that wasn’t going to rule him out just yet.

[Yong]

The shinobi of Konoha drew their weapons with almost synchronous timing, their intense focus falling on to Kiko, she could feel the power emanating off of these two, not dim lights like the others she had killed… no, these two shone bright. Though her opponents could not see anything but the angry demeanour of the Sunan puppet, Kiko’s concealed face split in to a wide grin.
‘Finally, a challenge!’ Kiko thought, her excitement barely contained within her artificial body.

The Kaen-meat-puppet flashed forward with blinding speed, the flames around his hands trailing behind him as he quickly closed the distance. Weaponised hands sliced through flesh with little resistance and deadly precision, both leaf shinobi struck multiple time by the blur of Kaen-puppet. The puppet slid backwards, creating distance once more as the leaf shinobi reacted, the human puppets cursed chakra pulsed through her victims thoughts, warping their individual perspectives on the world.

The Konohan Sennin responded in kind, her whip(?) blindly lashing out towards her assailant with unerring accuracy, cutting deeply into the Kaen-meat-puppet.
‘Perfect!’ She thought as she purged the stores of blood given to her by Akkuma. The blood splashed outwards from the wound in the puppet and across the hard pavement in front of the Hokage Tower.
If investigated later, this blood sample would indeed be the actual blood of the ‘innocent’ Sunan shinobi she impersonated, Shinku Kaen.

This is where the two leaf shinobi’s realities diverged…

To Soku, the Sunan shinobi would gnash his teeth in frustration before making an innocuous hand signal as if to the shadows and then, in a flicker of speed, completely and totally disappeared. A group of shadow appeared to land in response to the departure of the redheaded meat-puppet! To the Leaf Sennin it must have looked as if the Sunan had called reinforcements and fled the scene.

To Daisuke however, the ANBU would feel his muscles atrophy, skin beginning to rot where the vicious strikes had made contact with his body. In reality it was a Genjutsu, but to the Konohan ANBU it would feel all too real. Kiko was impressed with the speed the ANBU seemed to react to the mental onslaught, slipping out of the human puppets visual awareness with a jutsu she herself had used only minutes earlier to ambush and slaughter his countrymen… Active Camouflage…

As the Sennin struck their assailant with her attack Daisuki would see the whip(?) tear flesh, though no blood would come from the wounds. The man would then raise his hand before seeming to rot away in a split second, leaving a small, lithe female form stand and take his place.
Both the Konohan shinobi could now see their new assailant plainly, her skin looked almost porcelain white, as the new figure flashed towards the Sennin, six copies of the woman flashing into existence, each striking out at the Sennin before fading into nothingness moments later. What came next was unexpected for the Puppet Assassin, Soku struck!

First, ignoring the attacking clones her whip once again found its mark finding the one real body within the blur of clones. Second, the Sennin used a technique Kiko had never seen before, striking out to thin air… at first Kiko thought the attack had been unsuccessful but then she felt the impact, the strike flicking her puppet body through the air and tumbling into the street!

‘How did she see me?!’ Kiko thought, changing her stance and sliding to a stop ready for the continued assault, but it never came! It was then that Kiko realise the Sennin still did not know her true location!
‘An attack that can hit your enemy like that… the utility of such a thing is endless!’ She thought, her unnatural eyes studying the Sennin with a new respect.

She lingered too long though, the hidden ANBU used her distraction to his advantage, tendrils of steam striking out from the mist seemed to clasp on to her real body, she felt the resistance as she tried to move, the steam clinging to her like a living thing! She was in trouble as she now realised she still had no idea where her attacker was… was this how the Sennin felt?

[ooc - will send actions once the round is finalised ]

 

[Minamoto Daisuke]

Daisuke had never fought any shinobi on par with or better than his skill level, but it seemed that would change in but a few seconds. And by a few seconds, it was exactly 1.25 from that thought when the blur of movement from the Shunan shinobi made impact, not only with Daisuke but also Soku. From that moment on, Daisuke knew he should not underestimate the opponent in any sense.

The pearlescent blue of his eyes glanced down at the wounds he had just received in an effort to evaluate the damage done. To his surprise the bright red that he had expected from a fresh wound wasn’t present, instead a deep purple-brown gash was set into his upper right arm. It oozed ever so slightly with every beat of his heart. The Minamoto boy’s teeth ground together; this was clearly not normal – maybe it was some sort of poison that he wasn’t familiar with. It would make sense as he felt some sort of corruption spread through his being. His strength had begun to degrade, that much was sure. Even so, he still had to do his duty.

He took a breath, focusing on his target while manipulating a layer of chakra over his skin. His form shifted, becoming obscured by the rays of light that were manipulated around his body. He watched on as Soku was attacked by some sort of less than savoury worm creature and then a copy of their opponent. However, his focus was not to be broken by the seemingly targeted onslaught against the sennin by an ever-increasing number of opponents.

A few moments later, he was ready. Daisuke wove a flurry of handseals and poured his chakra out into the surrounding area. Miniscule water droplets began to condense into three additional figures, each of which formed into a perfect copy of the ANBU. Hopefully this would make it more difficult for who or whatever he found himself fighting to target him. But in an effort to make his odds even more favourable, Daisuke took the opportunity to silently reposition, hoping that his clones would cause enough of a distraction.

Despite the shifting numbers on the field, Daisuke’s eyes tracked the two targets that he deemed to be the most likely sources of harm. One had to be the shinobi that had caused this chaos. With that in mind his watch continued.

As Soku continued her push forward, it seemed as though she was specifically targeting one figure over another. Her ratio of attacks landed was rather high, and it was safe to say that Daisuke was glad to be fighting alongside her. Her target would be his too. The Minamoto felt a smirk begin to creep up the sides of his mouth, he enjoyed a challenge, and this was like nothing he had faced before – but he had to make sure that his focus remained to take advantage of any situation that presented itself to him. And soon it did.

The figure shifted, their appearance fading away to meld into the form of what appeared to be a pale skinned woman. This was a jutsu that Daisuke had never seen before, something fascinating yet clearly after all that had been said earlier something was amiss. A point for interrogation later. But for now he had his target, after another swift array of seals the air began to condense once more into a spiralling tendril of steam that whipped out to grasp at the newly transformed individual. It seemed to work. Now was the time to press the advantage.

[OOC: sending actions]

 

[Nanjirou Soku]

Soku had almost become one with her weaponry, years of refining her skills had come to fruition finally with the whip that tore into skin and blood over and over again seeking vengeance punishing this criminal for the lives of many shinobi who had given their all. You could say it was pure adrelinane and energy that drove the Sennin as she attacked relentlessly and she managed to deliver her fair share of pain as well but it came at a cost. No fight was flawless and Soku grunted and hissed in pain every time the foe landed a blow, her own blood running down her arm as she withdrew for the time being, her eyes going this way and that.

"You hide behind illusions? Truly a coward."

There were too many, she had a fair inkling of the orginal form of this puppet master and the Sennin had been under enough genjutsu to know one when she saw it but that didn't make it easier. Their friend was hurting and she shot a glance to see how Daisuke was holding up, he seemed to be steadily holding his ground, the clashing and the sounds of battle was sure to send shinobi running but she would not allow them. No more death, no more tragedies, she would gladly lay down her life for Lady Fifth if it was required of her.

"Petty tricks, you hide behind these games of yours and call it a fight? Allow me to educate you on what it means to fight, be a good student and take notes because if you fail this lesson, there isn't a re-take."

Mood Music ~

The misplaced confidence of the Sennin, did she think this was a game? Had Konoha become so weak in their hubris that they would underestimate an enemy so out of hand? Or was it fear that spoke the brave words, bravado in the face of an enemy far exceeding her ability to overcome?

Kiko tilted her head in a mechanical motion, locking her head at a fifty degree angle as if to consider the Sennin’s words.

The Sennin sheathed her weapon, bringing her hands together in a rapid series of handseals. Kiko recognised them, though she knew that the Sennin had failed yet again, her genjutsu control still firmly imbedded in the Sennin’s perception.

The artificial eyes of both Kiko and her doppelgänger visibly flashed a luminous pale blue for the briefest of moments before both Kikos, in perfect synchronicity, flickered away in another display of unnatural speed.

The attacks rained down of the Sennin and the three ANBU like a butchers knife, chakra-enveloped hands striking again and again, slipping past the Konohan defence over and over and tearing both flesh and chakra off of her opponents. That is until she struck the ANBU, her strikes dispersing the watery clones.

’Fakes?!’

No, not all of Konoha had become weak, the ANBU showing greater skill than the Sennin, embracing the shinobi way, appearing to use strategies when presented with an overwhelming force. As one Kiko kept focus on the Sennin, the other Kiko scanned the battlefield searching for her second enemy’s concealed location. But it was to no avail as a precise and massive drill of chakra infused water cascaded into a Kiko’s chest, splintering her into a thousand porcelain pieces before she completely faded to nothing… a clone…

Still, even with her deception to draw her attacker out, he had not revealed himself despite the ferocity and lack of subtlety of the attack…

’Impressive… Dangerous…’

Kiko slid away from the Sennin, the puppets white porcelain hands now slicked red with the Soku’s blood as she completed her barrage of deadly strikes. Now, to see how the Sennin responded.

And respond she did as she lunged forward with a series of strikes of her own, quickly drawing her whip once more, much faster than the average shinobi could ever hope to achieve. The wicked strikes lashing out at the human-puppet before her. Artificial Byakugan quickly assessed the attack from two angles, finding a weakness and striking.

The whip would spin away from the Sennin’s grip as Kiko’s chakra infused hand viciously gouged through the weapon, leaving a large, visible chip in.

The human-puppet moved in uncomfortably close, her white face tilting again, this time only inches from the Sennin’s face. Then Soku made a break for her weapon, vicious blows striking down on her as she moved.

Another brutal water jutsu spiralled from the concealed ANBU once more, though this time the puppet had been ready for it, her chakra infused hand slicing through the dragon shaped water as it hurtled towards the second Kiko. Somehow her attacker still remained concealed from her…

’Clever boy…’

The Sennin, reclaiming her weapon struck out once more, cracks appearing on the porcelain skin as each attack found purchase. Kiko’s head tilted once again, this time to look at the damage, a highly viscous, light blue fluid leaking from the cracks.

The human puppet looked up, her blue eyes locked on the Sennin as she struck again and again, splintering shards off of the Sennin’s weapon and tearing flesh and chakra with every attack.

Let the Sennin speak her impotent words, her blood still dripped from the human-puppets porcelain fingertips and soaked in to Konohan ground.


[ooc: Italic means thinking. Sending actions. Sorry ‘bout that Metsu…]

 

[Nanjirou Soku]

Everything hurt.

No, correction. Everything was hurting as blood poured out of her wounds, her muscles were on fire and Soku was panting at this seemingly unfazed opponet. Granted, the enemy had also gotten their fair share of wounds but the Sennin was in worse state as her whip clattered away from her broken and tattered as she grunted staggering each time she felt a stab, a shove or anything.

Her vision blurred for a moment replaced by pain and fury. She was a Sennin, the kunoichi charged with the responsibilty of the village and the Hokage and she couldn't let this criminal get anywhere near them. Soku realized grimly that she might not live to see the sun set after today but if that meant preventing more death, her life for the village than she would die gladly.

The clashes and thuds were the only sounds that echoed in Konoha and they spoke volumes about what was happening here today. Se was sure that more than one part of her was broken as everything shrieked at her in protest but still, she stood swaying and staggering but the more she could delay here, the more of a chance Asuka could.

A few bystanders, shinobi tried to move forward to intervene but Soku shot a hand out stopping them hissing in pain as she did so. "No! This is our fight!" They hesistated at first, not everyone was content to see the Sennin fall, she had become quite a popluar figure among the villagers and to see the woman crushed would anger a lot of people, Asuka, the people, her peers but she would accept it.

The necklace she wore around her chest, that crystal in the center beginning to crack, a similar one would be around Asuka's chest and Soku wondered grimly if Lady FIfth was looking at it. If she had been, the girl would have been here in no time as another attack tore into her chest and Soku fell to her knees but she rose forcing herself to looking into those murdering eyes.

If she fell, it would be with honor and not squabbling in the dirt.

"Konoha is my witness, I have given more than my fair share of blood to this village and I do not mind giving more. It is time to deliver the verdict now and I will gladly accept the outcome even if it bodes ill for me." She spoke quietly between gasps but audible forcing her body to move to exhaust every last effort.

[Actions sent!]

 

[Minamoto Daisuke]

Adrenaline pumped through Daisuke’s system as he watched on from his shadowed perch. His eyes darted between the identical figures of his opponent and the purple-brown wound that continued to fester on his arm. Thankfully no heartbeats forced more blood to leak from the gash, it seemed though it had coagulated – every cloud had a silver lining, though some were clearly not as great as others. Each breath that he took formed a thin sheen of moist droplets on the inside of his mask, though this did not bother him, if anything the light touch of water was strangely comforting. It did something to his inner self, it brought a strange serenity.

Though the serenity did not last long as his gaze shot up to witness the onslaught that fell upon Soku and his clones. In a flash the watery copies of himself were gone, a trick exploited, thankfully it had worked in his favour – but the ferocity of the attack had completely obliterated them. The sennin seemed to have weathered the attacks for the time being, her constitution continued to far exceed Daisuke’s expectations with every strike absorbed. The precision of the assailant was something to behold, as was Soku’s perseverance.

The battlefield seemed to blur as Daisuke moved from his position, weaving signs as quickly as he could. He turned to face his target. Three sharp pillars of spiralling water pierced what the Minamoto boy thought was the rogue ninja, though it soon became apparent that this was just a clone. Daisuke took a breath in slight frustration as he melted back into the environment around him, his form becoming indistinguishable from his surroundings once more. It seemed as though his ability to stay hidden did not do much help combat the threat, it only bought the boy time. But he was not the experienced one here – he had barely contributed in the grand scheme of things. Maybe now was the time to switch things up.

Three torrents of water rushed forwards to draw the attacker away, yet whoever it was simply intercepted the incoming barrage. So much for being able to help the Sennin. Daisuke’s teeth ground together as his frustration grew and grew. This was no good.

The flicker of rage found substance somewhere deep within. Daisuke could feel his cheek begin to pulsate with burning energy; this was something unlike he had ever experienced before. His father had always warned him of this feeling, yet he couldn’t remember why. The memory was faded, with only the dim light of candles to illuminate his recollection.

No. He had to focus.

[Yong]

Kiko could smell the blood dripping off of her enemy, as she backed away once more, the two puppets circling the Sennin like wolves circling a wounded deer.

The Sennin quickly slid her hands into a pair of plated gloves, again with an efficiency far exceeding that of a normal shinobi’s. The porcelain puppets continued to circle, as if savouring the kill. Soku moved through a short but complex series of seals as three copies of the Sennin appeared beside her.

Kiko responded, the two identical puppets flying together with unmatched precision, a momentary warping of reality, similar to a Hutchison effect, the particles fused at an atomic level, and, if one of her opponents had the capabilities, they would see the chakra system of the Human Puppet spread through the newly grafted limbs. Now standing almost eight feet tall the puppet towered over the injured Sennin, a grievous chest wound, clearly broken hands and blood pouring freely from a dozen serious wounds, the monster now moved in for the kill.

Deeply penetrating strikes sliced through the Sennin as if her defences weren’t even there, eviscerated, beaten, bruised and bewildered. The Puppet monster lifted the Sennin off of the ground, slamming her forcefully into the wall of the Hokage tower and causing cracks to appear at the point of impact on the walls hard surface. The monster began striking the Sennin again, driving her into the solid wall with every blow. The Sennin went limp… The monster did not relent, porcelain hands tearing the Sennin’s chest apart, exposed bone and flesh attacked again and again…

Then, as sudden as it had started the barrage ceased, the monstrous puppet simply letting the limp Sennnin fall to the ground as she turned towards her next target, her next victim… but first she had to find him…

She could hear the Sennin’s laboured breathing on the ground behind her as she scanned the Konohan battlefield, waiting like a spider at a light, no matter how good the camouflage, no stealth was infallible.

And there it was, I shimmer in the darkness.

’Gotcha!’

The monstrous puppet moved with startling speed for its size, covering the distance in half a second, porcelain hand penetrating deeply into the concealed ANBU’s chest.

The ANBU quickly jumped away, his hands flashing through a long series of handseal’s as the air around the porcelain giant rippled with heat, the figure of a large other worldly spirit manifesting in the flames, it’s awkward grasp reaching for the giant puppet but finding only air.

Shiriken flew through the flames, finding their target and slicing a small gauge from the monster puppet’s ceramic skin. The puppet looked down at the point of contact before tilting her head in the now familiar mechanical way, as if questioning the ANBU’s attack.

She retaliated ten fold, monstrous hands slicing through the man’s unarmored flesh. The Abysmal Harbinger’s fiery grasp struck out once more, giving the ANBU some distance as as the monstrous puppet moved to avoid the deadly attack.

Kiko turned back to her enemy only to find him once again gone.

’Slippry little fucker…’ she thought, a hint of respect for here enemy growing. But could the ANBU do enough to save his Sennin? Only time would tell.

[ooc: sending actions]

 

[Minamoto Daisuke]

Daisuke never stayed in one position for too long, getting comfortable in a seemingly safe location. A mixture of foliage and red roof tiles had been his footholds ever since the aggressor had revealed themselves. The Minamoto boy paused on occasion to renew his focus and observe the ongoing battle – the battle that he felt barely a part of considering the toll that had been taken on Soku in comparison to himself. She had evidently been targeted as the more senior shinobi, a wise move on their foe’s part; it had more than likely been the correct decision considering how little the recently appointed ANBU had contributed. His eyes flashed over his shoulder and to the right as he moved, watching Soku ready herself to intercept the next flurry. Teeth ground together as Daisuke’s consciousness began to shift, the pain and discomfort within him raging.

He hit a branch. It passed through him, only leaving a damp patch and a few droplets of water. Daisuke could feel himself giving in as his form changed state, from solid to liquid. This had only happened a few times before, but this was the first without his father present – the one who was always able to reverse it. The boy clutched at his blonde hair, fingers digging deep into the unprotected scalp below. Teeth bit down on his lip, bringing the ANBU back to reality as the final monstrous blows were dealt to the sennin by what could only be described as a towering abomination.

Hot chakra gathered in the boy’s chest; he needed a monster of his own – one he could control. His thoughts were interrupted as the creature found him, carving deep gashes into his watery form. It hurt like nothing he had felt in his life before, and even in this state blood began to seep from his wounds. He roared in anguish, both at being stuck and seeing the form of his superior unconscious. Flames spewed forth from his mouth, contorting in the air to form a colossal being born of fire and brimstone. A small puff of smoke appeared within Daisuke’s hand, revealing crimson coated shuriken – through the residual flames they soared, carving a path to the almost-arachnid. Yet on impact they seemed to have no impact, there was no indication that the poison had even been registered – even the most junior of shinobi would have recognised something off from that attack, yet this opponent did not.

The frustration and the agony continued to grow, never ceasing for the boy. Both his insides and his exterior were burning in searing pain. He clasped his head again, pulling a chunk of hair out but a moment later and with it a piece of flesh. Dark grey whisps of what appeared to be smoke rose from the wound, as well as those already inflicted.

Daisuke stood still; his eyes glazed over in the deep blue room he found himself in. Something stood before him. Tentacles poked out from within a net made of ropes thicker than tree trunks. Tags and symbols were laced over the ropes which eventually joined together centrally to form an intricate knot. Steam poured out, coalescing into more tentacles that motioned to grab the boy and pull him closer. There was nothing he could do; his mind and body were weak. He let himself be dragged towards the fibre prison by whatever it was that was inside.

Kiko would have been able to see Daisuke’s expression change from frustration to grim excitement in the course of a single second. “Yes. Yes. Don’t stop. He will soon be mine.” His voice was now unnaturally deep, a menacing undertone lingering in the air after each word.

The next few moments passed and it seemed as though the ANBU was almost struggling to control is own body as the strikes hammered in, each one giving way to more dark steam. But soon it engulfed him, only to dissipate to leave no sign of the boy. The last thing visible were the now ever so slightly glowing orbs that had one been the Minamoto boy's eyes.

“Now is my time.”​

[Yong]

She had tasted his blood now, the devouring worm inside her craved more. A flicker of movement foreign to a creature of such size, one of her four large, porcelain hands extended out with lightning reflexes, the fingertips sinking into Konohan flesh once more. The puppet followed up instantly but her prey was worthy, pulling away from her deadly hand and vanishing instantly once more. Her monstrous hands gouged deep scares into the stone walls behind where he had been only moments earlier.

Unliving eyes scanned the battlefield for any signs of the ghost ANBU, as the creature moved her body contorted unnaturally, eyes focusing on seeming empty air… the monster lunged forward once again, and once again hard fingertips struck the Leaf ANBU’s already injured rib cage over his heart, she felt more than heard the wet crack that told her that the man’s injuries were now serious, potentially fatal if left untreated.

The monster marionette pressed her advantage, chakra cloaked hands slicing through the ANBU with little resistance, her cursed strikes drawing blood even from the man’s watery composition, though chakra infused mist did seem to flow from the man now bleeding and exposed in front of the blood splattered puppet, her killer intent dripping from her like the viscera from her clawed fingertips.

Something felt off though, as the man now stumbled before her, he moved differently, like he was now unfamiliar with his body? The conquering worm witching her could taste a new power on the air, a scent of something new. The Kiko monster paused for a moment, watching with interest as the leaf shinobi flew through handseals, though somehow in a slightly different style to those witnessed before.

Chakra infused water engulfed them all with a sudden surge of violence. The supreme aqua realm surrounded them now and Kiko felt the pressure of the malevolent chakra coursing through it.

But the puppet had her defences. Moving through the water like one born to it, leaving speed trails in the water behind her as she swam. This was her realm and the prophet of the deep waters would flex her power before she would take his final breath from his bleeding lungs…

Her chakra now pulsed through the water, greatly expanding the aqua realm with a momentary fury far exceeding its initial creation. The water engulfed the surrounding buildings like acid through sugar, tearing a huge gouge from the side of the Hokage building and completely destroying the lesser surrounding buildings. The building debris quickly disintegrated into fine particles and the now shining water swirled with a new fury lent it by the power of the deep waters, sweeping up the unconscious Sennin as well as the two shinobi she had warned to keep their distance…

As the seemingly possessed ANBU impotently propelled jutsu through the water and his Abysmal Harbinger sent unnatural flames through the waters, Kiko focused on another, one to truly rule this watery grave the Leaf Shinobi had crafted for himself.

And the ANBU’s chakra once again began to cloud the waters around him he would see a shadow loom behind the spider like puppet, dwarfing even her massive form as it rose as if from a great distance. As the shadow loomed a deep rumble echoed through the water, reverberating through every chakra infused molecule and carrying the sound to all those swirling within the realm.

The nature of the fight had changed, this demon now encroached on her domain… and she would put him down with extreme prejudice.
