Shinigami Games-I

The First Edition of the Shinigami Games, registrations to be done here.

The Arrivals
Kiba Uchiha looked from his Mansion in the Village he could feel the burning flames of the Shinigami Games Edition I. Everyone was busy as the people got busy in the streets trying to make the visitors feel like they were in paradise. The Hotel's cleared out rooms for the contestants to lodge. The Hospitals were equipped with a the latest facilities. Rin Batsu and Kyōki Bakuretsu were near the village gates  to welcome the visitors.

Approaching the gates of Reikaigakure, was the Sannoto Senju alongside his companion, Akihiko Senju. The two were both Senju clan members, the descendants of the, and they both were exceptional shinobi, and both were smiling. The anxiety and the thrill of getting the opportunity to battle. "Don't be a loser, Akihiko", Sannoto teasingly suggested, taking a jab at Akihiko's shinobi skills, to which the Senju responded with a playful jab to his arm.

Seconds later, if not moments, Sannoto and Akihiko reached the two shinobi; both Rin and Kyōki. Are they competitors in these games, Akihiko pondered as he studied to the two. "Greetings", Sannoto peacefully stated. "We're here for the Shinigami Games. It's a funny name for a friendly competition actually, but nevertheless we are here. So, do you mind telling us where we sha'll go from this point?".

Rin smiled at the two men, "As I though you two are here for the games aren't you ? Please show us the invite card and sign up your name and village, also specify your rank and any Shinobi group you are a member of." Kyōki said. Rin motioned a ANBU member to come to the place."A, I need you to guide these young men to their resthouse" She said to the ANBU. Rin then looked at the two men," He is your guide to your camp here, there is still time for the tournament, you can relax or go sight-seeing till then" She said.

Raido X and Raizo Ozunu both made their way toward the designated area ... Raido X The legendary Dark Slayer..and Descendant of Izuna Uchiha of the Now extinct Uchiha Clan... and to his left Raizo of the lethal Tsuki no Ai group.. and no less lethal than Raido himself both made their way toward the gates.. I see a few friendly faces here Raido X said looking over the area and a few news ones as well. How about out you...I couldnt care less.. I wanna get started.. Raizo said putting his hands in his pockets... these people here are my targets.. and im looking to see who my first one is Raizo Smiled

Sayotsu Uzumaki alongside his ex-team mate and rival Kurokishi Shinto appears nears the gate "we are sorry for being late,so who are our rivals?" Sayotsu noticed Raido x and commented "well its going to be interesting!".

"Well, we surely got busy !" Rin commented looking at so many ninja's. "All of you, give me your invite cards and sign in in your name,village, rank and organisation if any" Kyōki commented.

A mysterious dark Shadow hiding close-by laughed at the start of the show.

Sayotsu and Kurokishi submitted their invite cards and signed their name.

"Thats it, Thank You !" Kyōki said to Sayotsu and Kurokishi, as he ordered another ANBU member to escort the duo to their rest-house.

"Invitation cards?", Akihiko questioned, seemingly unsure of what the shinobi was asking for. "I don't think we recieved one of those. Do we really need it though? I mean, without us the fights simply wouldn't be interesting", Akihiko added. The Senju was obviously kidding around, but not all people could tell that.

Sannoto, who was more on the calm side of things, simply reached into his pouch and pulled out the two invitation cards. "Here you go. I held on to the both of them. After all, our village did only recieve two cards. It would be a shame if someone", Sannoto tilted his head towards Akihiko, hinting that he was that specific someone, "would have lost them."

"Anyway", Akihiko dragged, changing the direction of the conversation while also snatching the cards from Sannoto, "Here you go." The Senju handed the two invitations to Rin and proceed with filling out the basic information. Afterwards, the two walked into the marvelous village and was simply smitten by the beauty that it displayed. In fact, the two were so excited to walk into the village and to begin their tournament that they were had forgotten all about their ANBU escort, who grunted in the background. "Follow me this way..", he muttered in a irritated sort of tone. The ANBU member didn't seemed pleased that he was placed on a mission of this sort, and the two Senju sure didn't blame him. No one wanted to escort strangers, and possibly enemies as villages never stayed allied, to their rest rooms and further into their village, which itself held precious secrets which needed to be guarded.

From the distant east, a pair of young looking adult were seen walking towards the entrance of the far north-east land, Reikaigakure. Although they were away from the gate roughly hundred meters, the guards were able to notify them as the invited contestants by their notable appearances and characteristics.

"Akiko... are we there yet?"

The long white hair lady who walked pretty slow, whined at her companion who was only a meter from her.

"Stop your complaints and never lower your guard, even after you reach the finish point."

A quick reply was sent by a slightly shorter close friend of her, who has a purple short hair and a pair of aurora eyes, literally.

"It seems... we are finally here."

Akiko told her dying friend with a tone filled with anxiety as she heard a small noise from the crowded village located hundred meters away from her. The sound of the crowd from the village grew louder and louder as they approached nearer to the gate. Both of them were greatly attracted by the noise, especially Shinrin, who initially looked like a dead fish.

Sayotsu commented, "These guys are kinda weird you know". Kurkoshi said "Ya sure whateva I still don't get it why do I have to form team with you!"

Rin and Kyōki greeted Akiko and Shinrin as they signed in their applications and gave their invite cards. Another group of ANBU guide them to their hotels.

※※※※※

With a flashing light two shinobi appeared infront of Rin and Kyoki and greeted them one saying "Sorry we're late I got caught up training and forgot the tournament started today".

Of Gingagakure walked up Yoshitsune Uchiha and Yamaren Seija. "Lord Genkage, is it wise to leave the village, what if it though you are more about fun than the village?" Yamaren asked his leader. "The village knows I just want peace to ensure with Reikei. Reitō is fine being in command for a little while, besides I plan on finding a replacement soon enough." Yoshitsune explained as they entered the village.

"Welcome welcome, please be calm and sign up" Rin said to everyone entering the the village. Kiba Uchiha could sense Yoshitsune's arrival as he arrived near the gates in the jiffy. "Lord-Genkage, I wish I could give you a Kage's respect in this village, but for now you are like everyone else a competitor. Hope you make yoursel fcomfortable" Kiba said greeting Yoshitsune.

"Alright then. I have no qualms with not being treated as a kage, just ensure paperwork doesn't hint me down." jokes Yoshitsune, earning a laugh from Yamaren. The snake summoner went to sign up himself and Yoshitsune who was still speaking to Kiba.

A faint blue seal design etched itself into the air several meters in front of the gate at head height. Turning horizontal, it moved downwards, a person appearing from the top down in its wake, his shock of red hair the first thing visible. As the seal reached the ground, Anjin Uzumaki stepped forward as the seal repeated the process, this time generating an armored red-haired teen. "Anjin Uzumaki and Toshiro Uzumaki for the Shinigami Games, please," the elder calmly stated.

Sayotsu sensed Yoshitsune and rushed towards his whereabouts,he reached near the gate and finds Yoshitsune and Kiba.

"I sure hope these people are strong" said Ken as he walked into the village with Daiki Kaito."Don't let your garud down for any one" said Daiki as he took out his Bubble Blower.

Yami Denkō arrived near the gates, "Rin-sama the hospital needs you, I'll take care of our guests here" He said as Rin immediately followed his words and ran towards the hospital.

A large Torii appears in the distance form Reikaigakure and lit up. Chika and Kuro Nakatomi both stepped from it before it disappeared in the same manner it appear. "Well this is going to be interesting" smiled Chika "I hope we get to fight some strong ninja" she said as he happily walked. Kuro looked at the village "don't forget why we are here Chika" he said as he began walking after her. "We won't, we remember, but can't we at least have some fun" she smiled as she quickened his pace. Moments later the two waking into the village.

As the two mysterious shinobi got closer it was odvious they were alittle nervous, Mazoku Mao walked in first and handed the man his invitation without as much as word but as [[Kenshi Tachiro stepped in he said, "sorry about Mazoku he is alittle tired from our hike here" as he handed the gate keepers his invite and walked at a brisker pase to catch up with Mazoku.

Mingling
Walking towards the village, two of the contestants Kuhaku Mugen and Tayoshi approched the gates and handed in their invitations. After they were shown their rooms in the hotel, they went to a Dango shop near the stadium. "Now listing Tayoshi, the other contestants aren't going to be pushovers, so keep on your guard ok? said Kuhaku. "Man you're a buster, these opponents are going to be pushovers. I don't care who I get to fight against, they're all the same easy targets." said Tayoshi stuffing his face with dango. Kuhaku looked at him with disbelief.

Rin was passing by as she looked ta the two stuffing dango's, "Hey you two must be here for the Games and that must have been a long journey from Konoha" She said at the two.

Sayotsu looking at Yoshitsune said "hi there old friend!". "Hello Sayotsu." Yoshitsune said. Yamaren was now talking around the village, as to get we to the surroundings.

Mazoku looked back at Kenshi and told him he would head to the hotel and rest so Kenshi parted ways with him and went to the dango place he had heard so much about. As he looked around he saw alot of people he didn't know anyone it was so lonely if only someone would talk to him.

As the two walked into the village Chika looked around, "their are some beautiful bodies here" she replied with a perverted grin on his face. Kuro sighed "don't get carried away" he replied as he contiuned walking. Chika started walking "we won't, but you have to admit what we said is true" she smiled.

Kenshi turned around as two new people walked into the plaza he then went up to them and introduced himself "hi my name is Kenshi it is a pleasure to meet you", he said as he reached out his hand for a handshake.

''Sayotsu, Sannoto, and even Yoshitsune are here.. Raido X commented to himself.. just a few of the strongest fighters ive faced in the past... I thought this would be a waste of time but.. I think im feeling motivated already'' Raido X said as he posted up on the wall in a relaxed stance. Seems like we got our work cut out for us Uchiha.. Raizo said as he walked up to Raido and did the same.. ''I cant wait to see what this will offer.. not to mention the money I can get off the bountys of the guys here''

Chika stopped and looked at the man that approched him, she looked him up and down for a moment "we are Chika, nice to meet you" she replied with a smile on his face. Kuro watched the two, but didn't say anything and contiuned walking.

Daki blew a streme of bubbles that caught evyerones attention."I sure hope my opponent is not an idot." said daiki as Ken was siting on a tree branch.

"Chiks that is a very pretty name miss I hope we will see more of each other in the future ", said Kenshi as he walked away looking for the training grounds and an opponent to fight before the matches start.

"Look who we have here. If it isn't my favorite Uchiha in the entire shinobi world", a slowly approaching Sannoto claimed. "Raido, it's a pleasure to see you once more. The last time I saw you, we were traveling the shinobi world for wonderful additions to our revive village. Speaking of additions, where is your partner, Kohana? Don't tell me she didn't come to fight. She's the fiercest person I've met", the blonde Senju said, chuckling a bit after his statement. He loved watching Kohana fight. Her unique fighting style almost made for an interesting battle.

"Hey Sannoto" said Ken as he walked up to his uncle. Yoshitsune, near Raido and Sannoto, heard Sannoto's comment about Kohana. "Try seeing Yuzuki Kaguya, not pleasant. She takes 'I've got a bone to pick with you' to a whole new level." Yoshitsune joked, referencing Yuzuki's Shikotsumyaku.

If she a nutcase in battle like Kohana is ill pass.. Raido X said fixing his posture... Kohana uses nasty medical crap and I can see this Yuzuki of your use Shikotsumyaku.... that ability can turn a good day bad quickly Raido X said laughing along side them.

I thought this would a be a carefree time... but two of my most powerful rivals from the past are here.. this cant be concidence.. what about this attracted you guys to be interested in this Raido X said fixing his sleeve looking at both Sannoto and Yoshitsune.

"I was bored", Sannoto honestly said, shrugging a bit afterwards. "I was actually surprised that you two would be here. But, I guess it can't be helped. I'll have to exert a little effort after-all". Sannoto always had a tendency to show off, and this event was no different. "Who knows though? Maybe there is someone else here that can even best us in a fight. I doubt it though. Well, I doubt they can be stronger than Raido and I", the Senju teased, leaving Yoshitsune out on purpose.

Kiba Uchiha stood on a raised platform, near Raido and the others. "Well, its good to see you people, especially Yoshitsune leaving Gingagakure alone there" He said making everyone's attention fall to him.

"Good to see you Kiba. What was that Sannoto? You seem to forget are last fight. Maybe being knocked around turned your brain to mush." smirked Yoshitsune, as Yamaren walked up to his leader and bowed respectively to Kiba, Sannotom and Raido. "Hello it is nice to meet you." the snake summoner said to the three.

"Eh, If I remember correctly I pulled you around like a ragdoll. Too bad we couldn't finish the fight..", Sannoto recalled before looking up at Yamaren. "How's it going? You must be a shinobi of Yoshitsune's village. Well, I'm Sannoto Senju", the Senju smirked. "You've probably heard of me."

"I really did turn that brain to mush. You were the one getting beat Senju, don't confuse our fight for our ancestors." Yoshitsune jabbed again. "Only a little. Your a pushover for a Senju's standard in Yoshitsune's words." Yamaren said with a laugh.

So good to see so many friendly faces... Raido X commented as he greeted Yoshitsune and the rest and then turned to Yamaren... The names Raido X,, to some I am the dancing fighter, others the Dark Slayer depends on what you heard and where.. he said greeting.... I thought I would win this easy but I see that out the window with you guys here.. unless you all have been getting rusty on me.. after all this time. Raido X playfully teased looking at each ninja.

"Hey whats with all the commotion over here" said Kuhaku approching them along with Tayoshi.

Kenshi could tell something was up so he went over to the big group starting to form to introduce himself. "hi everyone my name is Kenshi and I am looking forward to getting to know you all", he said as Mazoku appeared next to him in a small fiery burst out of nowhere.

Chika and kuro stood in the distance and watched as other ninja began grouping up, Chika turns to Kuro "what do you think?" she smiled. "We think this will be a fun little adventure" he smiled, Kuro contiuned to look on "it could be, I wonder if that person is going to show up" he replied as he scanned the ninja.

Yamaren nodded to Raido and quickly looked around the village. In the distance he saw Chika and Kuro and took interest in the strangers. Departing the group he walked over to the two. "Hello there." Yamaren said with a smile.

Kenshi couldn't believe that they all had ignored him even though he was part angel it made him mad so he tried again to say what wanted, " it is a pleasure to meet you all I am kenshi".

Chika looked at the man with a perverted gaze then grinned "Hello, we are Chika" she replied then pointed to Kuro. "This is Kuro" she stated as Kuro looked at the man and nodded, before turning away.

Mazoku could feel the anger building up inside of Kenshi it was wierd because since he was angel and mazoku was demon it was funny to be able to know his feelings. "everyone please be polite kenshi has been trying to meet new people he doesn't have any friends because of a certain accident".

"Hello People as you may already know my name's Kiba Uchiha, but they call be the Fang, anyways good to see so many high ranked ninja's here, this games turned out to be more successful than I imagined and you there,.... aren't you Seija the snake summoner nice to met you. If you do like him, meet Kuchinawa he is one of our snake guys in here" Kiba said as Kuchinawa arrived to the scene.

"Kuchinawa? Interesting indeed", Sannoto said, glancing over at Yoshitsune. Something didn't seem right. The games seemed to be working well, but too many elite shinobi were popping up. Was this some type of attempt to force elite shinobi to kill one another? Thus eliminating all threats for Kiba and his nation. This was indeed frightening.

A Cloaked Shinobi walked up to the group and stood among them looking and assessing each shinobi; staying to himself.

Yamaren payed hardly any attention to the perverted look from Chika. "I am Yamaren. Nice to meet you." Yamaren greeted as he turned to look at Kuchinawa. "A snake summoner, huh? Alright, interesting." said Yamaren to Kuchinawa. Yoshitsune noticed Sannoto's glance and wondered what he was thinking.

"that's it!!!", thought Kenshi as his angel wings sprung from his back and turned as black as night then his eyes turned a dark blue as spiderweb like veins popped out and ran along his face.

Mazoku didn't know what to do so he grabbed Kenshi and kept him still from hurting anyone but now the secret was out that he was an angel good thing no one knew that mazoku was a demon or he would be in trouble "maybe no one will notice him", thought Mazoku as he tried to move kenshi away from the crowd.

"Nice to meet you Yamaren," Kuchinawa said as he looked at Yamaren in the face. "So my friend, how did you come across our serpents?" Yamaren asked, wanting to learn about his fellow snake brother.

"Its somewhat a sad past, rather not talk about it !" Kuchinawa said in a sad tone remembering his days in Orochimaru's prison. "What about you ?" He added

After seeing Kiba Raido departed from the crowd and made his way toward kiba.." if it isnt my very own student... tell me" Raido X inquired as he placed his hand sin his pocket and got in a relaxed stance.." How have you been since we last parted ways... YOu finally ready to lace up and face your sensei if the situation calls for it" raido X asked in a cool but relaxed tone of voice.

"Well sensei, nice to see you didn't think I would meet you here, but don't think I'll go easy on you just because I was training back then, you are now a member of the Black Knight's right ?" Kiba said.

Kuro began walking away from the group of gathered ninja "lets go Chika, we have work to do" he stated. Chika sighed and began walking behind him.

"Well, Kuchinawa, I didn't have a family growing up. I was a lonely child so i wandered about. EVentually, I felt out of a cave, which I felt stronger do to my mother's . I walked in to discover the Ryūchi Cave. The  gave me a home." Yamaren explained.

"So our fate was the same, loneliness to light !" Kuchinawa commented feeling sad for their fates.

"I have my reasons.. but its a temporary thing.. I dont really do the whole team thing just not my scene but for now I need their help with something".. Raido X commented shifting his stance.. "Easy on me" raido said... "I look forward to your best.. we will see if your Bite is truly as strong as your bark" Kiba.."theres a reason the place the word legendary in front of my names." Raido X said smoothing his his hair back.

"Well, calm down and save your energy for the fight, I am not participating in it or anything ! I have a lotta other jobs to finish" Kiba said in a calm tone.

"I think Raido have the right idea..", a smirking Sannoto said, before looking over at Kiba. "It's just a little spar. Even you have five minutes.."

Kenshi had finally calmed down and returned to normal and no one seemed to notice so he thanked mazoku and said "is it ok if I join in on your training battle?

Rin Batsu appeared near Kenshi and Mazoku, "hey you two ? whats up ? why are you away from that big crowd ?".

Raizo took notice of the outburst of this shinobi and decided to make his way over...... "Your unique ina different way then the rest of the shinobi in this little group here.... That is something i can respect.. tell me where are you from what do you do" Raizo asked being curious he he took note of the shinobi for his own personal gain.

"I guess so Kuchinawa. Perhaps that is why I have no qualms with following Yoshitsune." Yamaren said as he sat down.

Kenshi didn't know what to say this new woman who suddenly appeared in ront of them he wanted to keep the fact he was an angel a secret but it was probaly too late for that so he said "I was getting some space away from them I needed time to calm down and regain my composure also I am half angel and come from a alternate reality where I was a prince called the sotarian empire".

"Thats Cool, Can you tell me how is it like there ?" Rin said smiling.

"Half-Angel? That's an interesting ability indeed..", Akihiko Senju, a fellow companion of Sannoto, said as he approached Kenshi. "I don't suppose you won't want anyone else from discovering your identity.."

"yes it would be a big problem if alot of people found out I am not only an half angel but I come from an alternate reality due to a accident in my fathers lab". He went on to explain to rin and the two men about how angels, demons, and humans lived together in a world where ninjutsu didn't exist but special powers were abundent in many different ways he told them about their technological adavances and about the schools he attened to learn about his powers and how to cope with it.

"Interesting." Yoshitsune and Yamaren said in unison.

Kenshi knew he had said too much when people outside of the conversation were beginning to say words under their breath or look his way good thing they didn't know he could perform miracles which was his special angel power from his mothers side of the family.

"Hmmm..." mused Anjin under his breath. "This place is loaded with strong chakra signatures." Removing a small scroll, he halfway unrolled it and tapped it gently, unsealing a SD version of him. "Go forth, Chibi Clone, and cause mayhem! Say hello to all the strong ones!"

The mini-Anjin toddled forward several steps before streaking towards the people clustered around the Uchiha and Senju on their raised platform. Giggling, it placed a seal on the side of the platform, and it rippled darkly to splash into water, the legendary shinobi on top keeping their balance with one or five falling unceremoniously into the water. The Chibi Clone brushed imaginary dust off of its coat before, now the center of attention, stepping forward in all its cuteness and extending a hand to the group. "Anjin Uzumaki and Toshiro Uzumaki send their greetings, big people!" it cried.

Sayotsu walked towards Raido x and said "i need to talk with you for a moment raido".

Rogen Toriyama versus Tayoshi
Result: Judge: Rin Batsu Landscape: A Arena filled with water upto 10 feet deep, only two stepping stones prest on the western and estern side of the arena.

"I'm up first? Oh well, saves me the time of waiting." said Tayoshi as he entered the arena. He jumped to the nearest stepping stone on the west side of the arena. As he cracked his fingers and shoulders, he gets ready for the match. "I hope this guy is worth fighting, the first rounds are always boring." he said.

Rogen walked through the corridor running at full speed stoppign before he fell in the water and said " Sorry i'm late i over slept" and then nodded to Tayoshi symbolizing that he's ready.

"Well he's one heck of a late ninja. Likes to make an entrance too. Oh well, no time to waste." said Tayoshi as he summoned his bow and fired an arrow at Rogen.

Rogen took notice of the bow and countered with Wind Release: Turbine Storm and said "You should really meet my friend you two would get along great"

"Listen kid, save it to the end of the match, then you can go on about your friend." replied Tayoshi as he fired two arrows made of fire chakra which he then fired, countering Rogens wind technique and each formed into a dragon which was coming at him from the right and above.

"Kid?? come on now we're at LEAST the same age!!" Rogen said using diving into the water swimming as deep as possible adding air to his lung's so he can breath.

"Wrong move kid!" said Tayoshi as he used Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder to electrocute the water, causing considirable pain to Rogen.

Rogen jumped out of the water as fast as possible to avoid more damage and said "didn't know you had lightning release too guess i'll have to watch from now on" then used Wind Release: Wind Seeking Missile's

Tayoshi coated his bow with fire chakra and deflected the attack. "Is that all you got? I was hoping for a challenge." said Tayoshi.

Rogen then shot himself into the air as fast as possible right above Tayoshi and used Wind Release: Vacuum Drilling Sphere right into him.

Tayoshi applied chakra to his feet and ran across the water to evade the attack. He then proceeded to launch a large amount of fireballs at Rogen in an unpredictable manner.

Rogen flew straight the fireballs dodging them charging his hand with Cyclone blade attempting to hit Tayoshi in the shoulder.

Tayoshi threw a wire string which wraped around Rogen's left arm and pulled him into landing onto the water.

As Rogen was falling he activated his Shūgan and made eye contact with Tayoshi but hit the water and went straight down to the bottom of the pool and breaking the ground a little and then used Earth Release: Earth Dome to protect himself.

"Really? He's going to drown himself doing that! said Tayoshi as he conducts electricity down on the wire which broke through the earth dome, electrocuting Rogen. He them pulls him up to the surface.

As Rogen came up to the surface pushing air in his lungs he grabbed the wire's himself and pulled Tayoshi towards him aswell and once laying on top of the surface he blinked once activating Shūgan: Shattered Souls

"A genjutsu? He's planning to make me submit. Hmmm.... I looked into his eyes, so it must be something like a sharingan gejutsu. If I concentrate hard enough I can stop the surge of chakra in my body then apply an even stronger surge of chakra to break myself out. I have to be carefall not to look into his eyes again." said Tayoshi as he concentrated on stopping his flow of chakra while enduring the pain from trauma. He stops the flow of chakra then applies an even stronger surge of chakra. He breaks himself out of the genjutsu, taking care not to look into Rogans eyes and breaks the wire string.

Smart move stopping the genjutsu with your chakra but i promise you it wont work the next time" Rogen said as he used Wind Release: Rotating Shuriken doused in liquid heading towards Tayoshi's arms and legs.

Tayoshi grabbed a couple of shuriken and coated them with fire. Aimming carefully for the open circles in the opponents shuriken, he fired them, successfully pinning down all the opponents shuriken up against the wall behind Rogen. He then fired an arrow that took form of a lightning hound, hunting down Rogen.

rogen quickly bit his thumb and used Summoning Technique: Toads and summoned Gamarosa and landed on top of him and said to Tayoshi "i'm gonna let Gamarosa here handle you for a little bit" then jumped inside Gamarosa's belly. Gamarosa then swung his giant sword down on top of Tayoshi.

Tayoshi ate a Military Rations Pill and unleashed the Eight Gates. He then picked up the giant toad and tossed him aside, creating a wave that splashed water into the first five rows of spectators, though without causing any injury. "That'll cool off the spectators from this heat." said Tayoshi. He was preparing a certain jutsu.

Gamarosa got up and said to the kid " listen kid Rogen's not here right now and there's nothing you can do to get to him, and your Eight Gates has a limit even with the Rations pill" as he quickly used Water Release: Water Bullet on tayoshi.

"If he won't come out, I'll just have to force him out." said Tayoshi as he launched a normal arrow with such force that it overpowered the water bullet and pierced Gamarosa's shoulder, causing him extreme pain which he teleported back to Mount Myoboku. "Now where is he?" said Tayoshi.

In Sage Mode Rogen basically flew right at Tayoshi landing a punch in his midsection then spinning around and stabbing a kunai right into his shoulder and then used Body Flicker Technique to appear right below Tayoshi and used Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere aiming right at his legs.

"Heh, I didn't feel a thing!" said Tayoshi as he pulled out the kunai. He threw a wire string attached with a kunai that pierced and got stuck in the wall and pulled him out of Rogens attack. "Ah. Looks like it's ready" said Tayoshi as he launched four arrows that landed on the water near Rogen with Tayoshi activating a barrier, trapping Rogen. "Theres no way to escape. Give up and I'll let you live." said Tayoshi to Rogen.

"Eh just give the poison a few seconds to run it's course, first your arms and legs will start going num, then you wont be able to use your chakra anymore, then the rest of your body will be paralyzed and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it cause the dose i gave you is more potent than the dose that's already in the air" Rogen said as he just stood in the Barrier in Sage Mode.

"Smart move kid. But your the one that will break first! That barrier sucks chakra at accelerated rate, stregthening the power of the barrier." said Tayoshi as Rogen lost all his sage chakra and was forced out of sage mode and felt exhasted from chakra. "Not only that, but I can also do this!" said Tayoshi as lightning started electrocuting Rogen, causing extreme pain. "If you don't submit, the barrier will kill you, even if i'm dead." said Tayoshi.

Rogen fell to his knees and said "the barrier may suck chakra but i'll just keep absorbing your chakra so mine will never be depleted right now you should be feeling all the side effects of the thalium.

"Your a stubborn one, but like I said, your efforts just cancel each other out with the only exception is that it's power increase's. If you won't submit than I'm just gonna have to kill you. I can get treated after the match, the next electrocution will be so great that you Shūgan won't cope, with the Sage chakra of yours making it more lethal. Good Bye!" said Tayoshi as the lightning electrocuted Rogen so greatly that his skin got burnt and he lost control of his nervous system. Within seconds Rogens fell onto the water. "Pity. This was a good match. Too bad I had to kill him in the end." said Tayoshi as he fell to the effects of the poison.

Rogen smirked then right before he was electrocuted he activated Shūgan's Flight that in the flash from the electricity Tayoshi didn't see him escape the prison with the last bit that he was able to absorb from Tayoshi to appear behind him. And then replied "too bad no one knows how to make an antidote for it except me. You cant feel your body and cant even use chakra so i dont know how you thought you'd draw up enough lightning chakra to shock me" rogen said as he fell to one knee.

"Guess the poison took effect and after all that time. Remember when I grabbed you with the wire string? I not only electrocuted you, but the wires are coated with my own brand of poison. The poison brings paralysis, chest pains, uncontrolable chakra and if not treated, Death! Only I have the antidote. So if you want to live. Then submit." said Tayoshi as Rogen came down with the symptoms.

Rogen limped backwards away from Tayoshi and took a Military Rations Pill OR (a) we can both surrender and give eachother the antidote (b) i can kill you with the technique ive been working on since the match started or (c) i can crush your soul with my genjutsu since your already targeted with the kekkai genkai your choice kid" rogen said leaning up against the wall.

Tayoshi also took a military rations pill and limped backwards. "A: How can I trust you? B: Your chakra is uncontrolable so it wouldn't work anyway and C: Same as B. Even with your Dōjutsu you still need good chakra control. It would simply waste chakra and your Dōjutsu wouldn't activate." said Tayoshi as he was having trouble standing up.

The answer to B is wrong atleast for the technique cause i can cut off the chakra flow to it at anytime i want and (a) *Rogen pulled the antidote out of his back pocket* here's my antidote, now where's yours?" And then announced out loud "IF ANYONE IN THE STANDS WANTS TO SURVIVE MY NEXT ATTACK I SUGGEST YOU CLEAR THE STADIUM"

"Look." *Tayoshi pulls out antidote* "Here it is. Even if you used your attack to destroy everything you'll get disqualified. Besides I've got more powerful techniques so it will just counter it." said Tayoshi.

Rogen then lifted his left arm and snapped his fingers causing a funnel cloud in the sky to start circling, then he slammed his hand on the ground making a cyclone zip down right on top of tayoshi hitting him and destroying the field right to the edge barely touching the stadium. Rogen took cover by hitting the ground and hanging on to the edge of the water's edge.

Before Tayoshi was hit, he launched an arrow at an astonishing speed into the air, hitting the cyclone and causing a big explosion that expanded, barely touching the stadium (only causing a mild shockwave) with the spectators in awe and Tayoshi surving Rogen's attack. A whirlpool was then formed from the combo of powerful attacks, threatning to suck in both competitors to there demise.

Rogen then threw a box into the whirlpool and activated the tiger seal and the box itself opened sucking everything into the box including the water and started to suck Tayoshi into the box aswell. Rogen then said "i guess i'll just have to seal you in that box"

Tayoshi threw a Kunai equipped with a wire string that hit the side of the arena. He reiled himself away from the boxes suction power. He then swung around, behind Rogen and kicked him into the vortex. Tayoshi grabbed the wall to avoid getting sucked in.

Falling Rogen reached in his back pocket and swallowed some pills and used Shūgan's Flight and teleported behind tayoshi wrapping his arms and legs around him and saying "Too bad we're both bout to get sealed" then with a chakra finger he wrote the kanji 土 along with an elaborate pattern and the pattern started releasing chakra waves into the air and the earh spores started falling out of the sky attaching themselves to Tayoshi and Rogen.

Tayoshi unleashed strong bursts of lighting chakra from his body, breaking free from Rogens attack. Tayoshi then grabbed and charged a kunai with ligtning chakra and stabbed Rogen, purposely missing his vital organs. "This is what it means to be a shinobi." said as Rogens body wen numb and he was completly parylazed, not being able to move.

With his grip still on Tayoshi's shirt he used Shūgan's Flightand teleported them both inside the box letting go of tayoshi in the box then using Flight Technique to fly out.

Tayoshi threw another wire string which tied to a railing in the arena and reiled himself out of the box again. "Child's Play! but that box is gonna be a problem." said Tayoshi. He then stood at the very edge of the arena and launched another destructive arrow into the box, limiting the power so it doesn't destroy the stadium. He fired, which the arrow went into the box and created a grand explosion, again barely touching the stadium, which destroyed the box and stopped the vortex once and for all.

Smart move kid, Suprised you destroyed the box" Rogen said as he got at the bottom of the stadium now that the water was gone then used Earth Release: Golem Dragon Technique sending the dragon right at Tayoshi.

"You've seem to have picked up my personality. This match just keeps getting better and better" said Tayoshi. He withdrew an arrow. charged it with lightning and launched, becoming another lightning hound that destroyed the earth dragon and hunted down Rogen.

Rogen then countered with Wind Release: Wind Dragon Bullet Technique to collide with the lightning. Then used Wind Release: Rotating Shuriken sending multiple shuriken at Tayoshi.

Tayoshi created and launched several fire arrows that destroyed the shuriken from a combination of the arrows immense heat and it's lethal explosive capability. More arrows honed in on Rogen at an immense speed.

Rogen countered with Wind Release: Wind Seeking Missile's to collide with the arrows then used his speed to hit Tayoshi with Fujin's Palm

Anjin Uzumaki versus Shokatsu Shinrin
Result: Anjin Uzumaki due to Shokatsu Shinrin using a mass destruction technique. Judge: Kuchinawa Gekkō Landscape: A Ice filled Arena. Slippery.

The red-haired man in blue strode out to the center of the arena, coat snapping behind him, followed by the girl with long blonde hair. Quickly scanning the icy arena, he thought, "I really really hope she doesn't carry the Ice Release..." Standing across from his opponent, Anjin made the Seal of Confrontation and bowed to his opponent. "Let us have a good match, kunoichi-san." Drawing his sword Dusk, Anjin settled into a loose crouch, sword held horizontally in front of him. "Whenever you are ready, proctor." His eyes narrowed slightly as the kunoichi still stood relaxed. Everyone here has some special strength... I'll have to be wary... He tapped several places on his body and his muscles eased up.

"Aye" Rin said looking at the red haired man, she then looked towards Shokatsu and asked whether she was ready.

The blonde hair young lady hailed from Rōran moved her head around, swiftly analyzed the surrounding. As she finished her examination, she shifted her vision to the young man. Holding her long hair with her left hand, she sent a silent bow of greeting towards the man. As she raised her head from the 60 degree bow, she finally replied to the judge question, "I am ready." Waiting for the judge to begin the match, she took a few step backwards gently on the slippery ice arena and equipped herself with a bow.

Anjin blurred forward, his first several steps rather uneven before he began using chakra for traction, his sword couched by his side for an attack. He carefully watched the movements of the girl's wrists as she brought up and drew the bow. Knowing this group, it would probably be six feet long or something else crazy.

Suddenly, Shinrin disappeared from his sight of vision by quickly leaping to the air using her impressive leg power. The high jump evaded the attack and without showing any sign of hesitation, she shot five arrows at once through her pale golden bow towards the young man during the mid air. The arrows split slightly apart from each other as they traveled together in the same direction.

Keeping a wary eye on the arrows which probably did something else crazy, Anjin just stopped the chakra flow giving him traction and just slid for ten meters, making handseals the whole time. "She's got to be less maneuverable in the air..." he muttered as he spat out a testing Lightning Release: False Darkness.

As expected from Anjin, Shinrin couldn't evade the assault in the mid air. However, she mimicked the same hand seals made by her opponent and launched her Lightning Release: False Darkness. Both lightning dispelled each other and exploded, creating a large scale of smoke in the process. Before the smoke was cleared, a few arrows popped out from nowhere towards Anjin.

Anjin weaved in between the fast-moving arrows and hurled a double handful of shuriken into the cloud while sliding around behind it. ''So she can use a bow and fairly high-level lightning manipulation. False Darkness isn't entry-level. Otherwise, I got nothing.''

Gliding along the icy surface, she evaded the shuriken with an elegant move. Holding her fully decorated long bow down for a moment, she muttered to herself in her mind, "This is boring, stop hiding your true power."

"Hmm... Perhaps this will make you change your mind."

Her train of thought drove her to show one of her signature move. Backing a few steps, she leaped to the air and molded a large amount of chakra into the form of a tiny blazing arrow. Equipped on her long bow, it was immediately shot towards Anjin as she shouted "Fire Release: Fiery Dragon Arrow" The tip of the fiery arrow slowly took the shape of dragon after it was shot outward.

Feeling the great amount of chakra concentrated into the arrow, Anjin gave a feral grin and brought Dusk out in front of him. Leaping into the air, he swung the blade at the rapidly approaching arrow. But as he hit it, it erupted into a dragon's head of flame, knocking him backwards even as the explosion hurtled back at its creator. Bouncing upright, Anjin exclaimed, "That was awesome!" ignoring the facepalming sweeping through the audience. The only response of his opponent was a slight widening of her eyes as the flame came roaring back towards her.

A smirk suddenly emerged from her face. It surprised her companion, Akiko who was sitting on the huge Colosseum with many heated up spectators. Shinrin thought to herself, "This is quite interesting but not enough."

As the smile disappeared from her face, immediately, dozen of arrows were pulled out from her quiver and were quickly loaded onto her bow. Without wasting any second, she launched her arrows outward one by one while gliding around the icy ground.

"Enough of this!" cried the Uzumaki as he sped through a string of handseals, ending on Dragon, and announced "Storm Release: Laser Circus." as bolts of pale chakra intercepted the arrows and continued on towards the girl.

"Storm Release!?" Shinrin was shocked by the jutsu and accidentally fell due to the slippery ground. On the dead end, she was forced to unleash her true power, "Ray Release: Infrared Arrow" An invisible arrow was shot against the laser circus to slow the attack down so she could evade the attack. Though, the explosion damaged her a little bit.

As she got up from her feet, she raised her hand upward and molded a large invisible Ray Release chakra on her hand and equipped on her bow. As she pulled the string backward, she shouted "Ray Release: Infrared Dragonic Arrow" before unleashing a stronger version of her invisible arrow.

"I have no idea what she just did. That is never a good thing at this level." panicked Anjin. Picking the simpler option, he dived to one side, sliding and rolling to his feet many meters away. Vaguely sensing the chakra's progression, he noted, "Some sort of light-bending technique? Hiding with Camouflage Technique or some sort of Light Release? Either way, this is really bad." Breathing deeply, he placed Dusk in his his left hand and brought up his right hand to cover the right side of his face. Then he spoke again. "Blind Sight Seal." A webbing of condensed kanji glowed into view around his left eye as he jerked suddenly at seeing the arrow blazing towards the arena wall. "Radiation... I am lucky I finished this seal." Removing his hand from his right eye while keeping it tightly shut, with a look of intense concentration on his face, he once again blazed through handseals. "Storm Release: Light Battery." Forming a circle with his hands, he created a membrane of chakra inside the circle. Without any other warning, a beam of focused greenish energy ripped from the membrane to speed towards Shokatsu Shinrin.

"I guess I will do the same.", Shinrin thought to herself as she dashed to the right side to evade the great beam. However, the destruction was so great to the extent of affecting her balance and made her fell on the slippery surface. "This is painful, darn it." She complained silently on her mind as she double checked her precious bow.

Shinrin stood once again, took a deep breath before channeling her chakra towards her whole body. The chakra was so concentrated on her body that it became visible to the naked eyes. "Ray Release: Blinding Ray" she shouted as she released the great intensity visible light to blind her opponent. Within a single second, she quickly drew out her bow, equipped her arrows with lightning chakra shrouded onto them and shot them towards the man from different direction while circling on the ice surface.

Anjin gave an inchoate yell as his vision, enhanced in his left eye by his Blind Sight Seal, was blinded by the flash of light. Dropping to his hands and knees, he was late in registering the lightning-enhanced arrows. Rolling, ducking, and dodging to the best of his ability while half-blinded, he evaded a majority of the arrows, receiving several superficial cuts that caused numbness. Then, as he came out of a difficult evasive maneuver, the last arrow thudded into his shoulder, causing him to collapse again from the renewed shock causing his muscles to stiffen up. "Damn..." he bit out, before forming a dragon's head of chakra about his right hand and flicking it at the kunoichi.

Totally out of Shinrin's expectation, the man was still able to cast a technique while being greatly injured. Needless to say, Shinrin had not sufficient time to evade the attack. Trying her best, she blocked the attack using her bare hands but was electrocuted instead and knocked back to the edge of the arena. Spilling out the blood within her mouth, she stood once again steadily and slowly.

"You got me there."

She murmured silently as she focused her sight of vision on the man. She despised losing, she hated being defeated. "I want to win!", she shouted loudly before she took a gentle leap to the air and shot a dozen powerful arrows towards the ice surface. The large consecutive explosions rocketed her towards the sky and drew vast attentions from the audiences, including the judge.

Still flying upwards, she smirked as she raised both her palms to absorb solar energy from the sparking Sun. The huge amount of solar energy slowly emerged with the shape of a glowing sphere.

"Kōsenton", she spurted the word slowly.

At this stage, the sphere was small but was already rotating vigorously. Despite its size, it is pretty hard to stabilize it any longer. Shinrin had no choice but to stop the charging process and slowly migrated her hand towards the arena.

"Taiyō...", a long pause was followed before she completed her sentence, "...Nagare". A few seconds was needed in order to shoot the ultimate beam after finished the chant. During the delay, she finally remembered one thing that she shouldn't had forgot. This technique was labelled as S-rank technique due to its destruction. Battling in this small arena, the beam can easily wiped out the innocent villagers.

Finally getting back to her sense, she tried to raise her hands towards the sky, hoping that she would be able to shoot the beam at another direction, but it was too late. A strong, thick and powerful beam was forcefully blasted from the sphere towards the arena. It traveled very quickly, too fast for the people to react. Nothing could stop it, a genocide was inevitable... or so she thought.

Before the beam reached the ground, it was engulfed by unknown means in the mid air, literally. The beam lasted a couple of seconds but not even a small crack can be observed on the fragile icy ground. Everyone was left confused and shocked, it can be clearly seen by their facial expression, including the user herself, Shinrin. "What happened..." she said numbly.

"How many times I have to tell you not to use that technique in such crowded place?", a blonde hair with silver circle highlight young teenager appeared on the arena without the realization of many people until she spoke. Her hair was tied in the form of a long ponytail and her beautiful appearance made everyone thought she was a woman.

"Eiden?!?!", Shinrin was stunned by the sudden appearance of her friend.

The judge of the match showed up and stopped the battle due to the interruption from the unknown young woman. "Hey miss, you are now allowed to jump in like that!". The judge shouted, however, the young lady, shielded with a steel plate on her forehead, didn't reply a word but instead moved towards the broken ice surface.

Shinrin finally recovered from the surprise and realized she was falling. "Well, a few arrows will guarantee a safe landing", she said calmly towards herself. Unfortunately, there were no arrows left in her quiver. Her calmness was immediately broken as she quickly attempted to call for help.

"Save—"

A sudden embrace from her back halted her words. It was the blonde and silver haired woman, she leaped to the air and caught the falling and helpless Shinrin. As she landed on the icy ground with a fashionable way, she glided towards the judge and said, "she wishes to pull out from the tournament."

Without waiting for the judge to answer, she quickly turned her head around and created a portal. With her injured friend, she left the arena without a single trace, but not before leaving a message behind.

"By the way, I am a man, call me mister."

Daiki Kaito versus Havoc
Result: Daiki's Victory, Havoc out due to being late. Judge: Yami Denkō Landscape: A grass covered Arena.

"Lets get this over with" said Daiki as he looked at his oppponant. Yami Denkō grinned, "Your opponent hasn't arrived yet, so you win via opponents disqualification".

Ken Uchiha versus Chika Hikaru
Result: Judge: Kyōki Bakuretsu Landscape: A Misty arena, low visibility.

Chika walked into the battlefield "Well this is going to be fun". She looked around the battlefield "well the visibility isn't that good, but that's not problem for us" he stated as a smiled formed on his face.

"O so my opponant is a girl" said Ken as he walked into the misty arena.

Chika looked at the man that entered the arena and sighed as she looked at him "We are Chika Hikaru, nice to meet you" he said as she got into a fighting stance.

"lets go" said Ken as he used the Shadow Sewing Technique.

Chika glided on the ground, she then jumps up and spins around releasing three Crescent chakra waves at ken before landing on the ground.

Ken used the Wind Release: Vacuum Bomb on the waves causing an exslposion.

Chika smiled as her attack was countered, she gathers yang chakra into the palm of her hand. He then shapes it into the form of a Fūma shuriken. She releases it in the direction of Ken, she then gathers chakra into his mouth, moments later a small vibrating blue orb appears around the base of his lips. As the Fūma shuriken traveled, she let out a high-pitched scream, in the form of a wide blast of wind. The Scream, not only increases the speed of the shuriken, but being rip up the ground after it.

Ken dodged the shuriken and used the Shadow–Neck Binding Technique.

Chika breathed out a large amount of mist the mist added to the already existing mist making sight near impossiable. "Let's see what you can do, when you cannot see" she replied.

"Yor crafty" said Ken as he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.

"That's not going to help you much" Chika said as she kicked a crescent chakra wave in ken direction. "Though I can see you as clear as day" she stated.

Ken dodged the attack and went in Chika's direction.

Chika glided, disappearing in the mist. "Are those fancy eyes of your just for show, or can you use them for something" stated Chika as she released another crescent before disappearing again.

"O you sure do talk alot" said Ken as he took out his Sumi and used the Lightning Release: Green Tiger on Chika.

"We am talking in order to get this fight more interesting", Chika copied the attack and returned it at Ken's attack. The two attacks collided giving off a large static surge, "But we have grown bored of this fight" Chika stated as she stepped out of the mist."Me too" said Ken as he enterd his cursed seal form.

Miyami Uchiha versus Toshiro Uzumaki
Result: Judge: Meiro Uzumaki Landscape: A raised platform 15 feet high, one drop down and you are a goner.

Toshiro Uzumaki inwardly grinned at the choice of battlefield. No large-scale ninjutsu, just precision, taijutsu, and bukijutsu- what he excelled in. This would be fun. Striding out onto the platform, he waited for his opponent to come out.

Miyami Uchiha strolled onto the arena, and looked at her opponent with a mixture of contempt and apathy. She was well aware that the stage on which her battle was to take place was extremely precarious, and was beginning to feel just a smidgeon of acrophobia as she assumed a combat stance.

"Damn Sharingans. Hate the things." "Ready?" he called, drawing Dawn and settling into a combat stance.

"Hellooooo?" questioned Toshiro, lowering his sword and waving one hand in his opponent's face. "You there?" Seeing the lack of response, he poked her. "Hello? Heheheh. Boobies." Still nothing from the Uchiha.

"Ready when you are," came Miyami's reply as she offered a slight smile to her opponent.

Toshiro resumed his combat stance and called, "Proctor?", "Start" Meiro said in a grin.

Miyami stood motionless, the crimson circles which were her eyes analyzing Toshiro for any sign of weakness. In an instant, she formed several hand seals and spewed incredibly hot flames from her mouth, which she manipulated into a searing wall of fire, aiming it at Toshiro.

Toshiro Flickered through the flames, clearing a narrow, oh-so-narrow path ahead of him with his sword Dawn. Even as the speed of his passage sucked flames after him, he showed up much closer to the Uchiha and opened with a downward sword strike.

Drawing a kunai from her weapons pouch, Miyami deflected Toshiro's downward slash. "You're not half bad," she said with a grin, before releasing a potent blast of chakra in all directions.

"Joy. Sealless Katon," deadpanned Toshiro as he jumped with the shockwave, returning to his earlier position near the other end of the platform. A blue crackling aura tripled the length of his blade, racing at the speed of chakra flow straight at her neck.

Miyami countered the lightning with a draconic wind technique, the two attacks being completely nullified upon their collision with each other.

And Toshiro was back in close and personal, a side cut coming in at speeds extremely difficult to duplicate, leaving no room for handseals.

Raido X versus Sannoto Senju
Result: Sannoto disqualified, winner is Raido X (For usage of clone techniques during the round which is against the rules). Judge: Daikoku Landscape: A Lava pit 10 feet below the arena, In between them are 15 poles strong enough to support a man. This certain makes for an interesting terrain Raido X said as he viewed over the arena.. Finding his advantages based on this his style.. ''This is more so in my favor than I would have thought.. and right off the bat Im up against Sannoto.... Didnt expect to fight the Top Dogs around here so soon''. Well Sannoto.. looks like this one cant end in a draw.. We gotta show up and show out Raido X said as he analzyed the envirnoment enough to be confident in his approach.

The Senju, who was capable of manipulating Iron, was extremely excited. He was in a perfect environment. He could manipulate the Iron in his lava to shape the battlefield further into his favor, and the poles could be used within his own fighting style. "You're right, Raido. This cannot end in a draw. Let's just promise to give these people a good show, okay?", Sannoto inquired as he leaped down to into the arena and prepared himself for the battle to come.

Well we both have a unique problem you are familiar with my Freezing Release as where im use to your Iron... .. YOU are familiar with the Advanced Ice aspect of the move.. but today I show you its other capabilities Raido X said as he used Freezing Release: Frostbite Rage which he shot of in the form of a Dark Blue pulse wave which contrary to the name didnt not create Ice but psychically decelerate the motion of particles, rapidly cooling or freezing the targets motion

Seemingly in an instant, the Senju activated his Iron Migration Technique and, barely avoiding Raido's technique, teleported to the left of the Uchiha, by locking onto the poles; which presumably, (I assume) contained some form of Iron within their structure. "Nice trick, Raido. But now, it's my turn to attack..", Sannoto claimed as he removed his Shakujō from his back. Afterwards he swung the staff towards Raido and, because it was made of remnants belonging to a certain blade, shot a wave of intense flames towards the Uchiha.

Great Moves Sannoto but you just this fight much harder for yourself Raido X said as with his right hand he instanly summoned Reapers Edge and swung to block the staff but since he was using the Yang Portion of the blade he utilized the Severing: Phantasm Zero which shoot out to Giant crscesent waves and cuts the chakra of whatever or whoever it hit by damaging the Chakra Network system.. the first wave collided with the Fire wave Slicing its in half due to its chakra cutting porptions.. the Next Giant Crescent Slash head diretely at Sannoto as he collided with Raido X ethereal blade.. Gotcha old friend Raido X said as he instantly used with his left hand Yang Release: Crescent Moon Slash which shot another 2 giant Crescent slashes that would once again cut and damage Sannotos chakra... making it even harder for him to conjure up chakra in battle and at this range with thier swords clashing Sannoto would have little to zero reaction time..

In a quick motion, Sannoto swung his staff towards one of the crescent slashes, and with his amazing strength, he forced on of the attacks into the other; as the technique could only slice through a chakra network, and not anything else at the moment. "Nice technique, Raido. You almost bested me, but you almost forgot that your technique can only slice through chakra and not an object. That's its weakness", Sannoto said, as he placed his staff back onto his back. "Now, its my turn to strike; and my time to strike hard." In a few handseals, Sannoto activated his Armor of Iron, which enhanced his physical capabilities beyond all measures.

Using his new capabilities, the Senju quickly charged towards Raido; reaching him in a few seconds, and threw a rapid barrage of strikes his way. His great strength was enhanced to all levels. With that, not even blocking could save a person from his deadly strikes; the only option to avoid his blows were to simply dodge, however that wasn't as easy as it sounded. All it would take was two strikes. Two of his hits would send the Uchiha out of commission.

''I see what you did there.. Raido X said trying to make me rely on the Kamui as their no time to dodge or block.... easy as that is Sannoto Ive got something your going to like a different Approach'' Raido X using the abilities granted by the Reapers Edge he morphed the ethereal Yang blade into a large ethereal Gunbai and used Uchiha Return which doesnt just block but nullify the effects and momentum of an attack and returns that force back to its user and guided path.. with immediate sudden force.. allowing Raido to reflect Sannoto's momentum and power right back to him and with a massive Force...

Sometimes old friend the strongest weapon and the strongest Shield both prove each other wrong, and contradict their names.. I wonder which of yours is the lie.. Raido X said smiling as due to Sannoto, incoming force and the abilitites of the Uchiha Return the Senju wouldn't escape so easily this time around

I didn't think I would have to do this, but..., Sannoto thought as he activated his special technique moments before he was smitten by his own power. He went tumbling across the battlefield, before stopping himself a few feet from the edges. "No more playing around, Raido. I'm going to have to end this buddy. My apologies!", Sannoto claimed, creating two clones of himself. The original Sannoto, placed his left palm in the Uchiha's direction, and pulled him towards himself, by locking onto the Iron within his body. Using his left hand, Sannoto manipulated the poles around them and sent them flying towards Raido. In a moments, no seconds, Raido would be struck by these large poles, while the other two of Sannoto's clones begun forming their handseals to prepare their next attack.

No apologies needed.. Raido X said as his sharingan glowed extremely bright red as he was pulled in ... This is all in good sport besides you already knew you can't fight me and not have your best in your back pocket but your forgetting something very important Sannoto as Raido X used Amenoukihashi in everything of his line of sight as the poles went back to their oringinal configuration and were never moved.. See another mistake you made as The Iron Release can be affected by my abilitites since it in itself is not a Living sentient being.... the jutsu also Affected the clone as they were dispersed from the battle field by being sent back to the past since they too possessed Iron in their bodies.. their jutsu was dispelled along with them as well. Now Sannoto... I believe it is just you and I again. Raido X said as he stood tall at his 6 ft 2 stance.... challenging even Sannotos best moves and tactics..... We both represent some of the best our clan has to offer..
 * there is no way around it.. you and I are equals.... However I can't let you hold a win over my head.. as your rival I refuse.. im just not built for second place as Raido stare met Sannotos,The stillness in the air as it seemed as though it too was drawn in on this unprecidented battle of 2of some of the generations best.. The crowd in it self were on their feet as goose bumps were passed around their bodies as they eagerily anticipated the rest of this prolific battle...

Daikoku moved his body in between the two brave warriors. "The Wiinner of this round is Raido X" He said in a smirky tone.

What is this.. Raido X said looking confused at the judge.. I didnt even earn the win yet you gotta let us finish this... Ive been waiting for a while to finally win one over Sannoto rather end in another stalemate.. you gotta let us finish this right

"Did I hear someone complaining, I don't care about you nutty fight or whatever, for this man, his journey in this game as come to an end" Daikoku said smiling Raido.

oh well cant be helped Raido shrugged off the judges remark and looked at Sannoto well bro looks A hollow victory I dont count this fight due to the judge's call but when I see you agai on the outside we wrap this up once and for all Raido X said giving Sannoto a thumb ups.... meanwhile he makes a leap off the platform

Yamaren Seija versus Kusari
Result: Judge: Tōka Kazan Landscape: Arena full of Sand.

Yamaren entered the desert-like arena and breathed in. Well I guess we meet again... thought the snake summoner to himself with a smile.

Kusari could not help but chuckle with derision as she laid eyes on her opponent. And they say lightning never strikes twice in the same place...

Now standing center in the arena, Yamaren looked a Kusari. "Good to see you again, I'm sorry that you probably drank your troubles of missing me away." Yamaren said in a flirtatious manner.

"Actually, it's the sight of you that makes me want to drink," rebutted Kusari.

"Your words, how they wound me." Yamaren said with his hand over his heart, acting in pain. "I guess this is the only way we would ever remeet so, let's enjoy this." Yamaren said as his right arm became an axe. Yamaren's skin darkened on his arm and spread to part of the right side of his body, with his right eye gaining gold iris and his sclera turning black. "Don't worry, I have control of myself, for now."

"That's good, because it would be no fun to defeat a lunatic for an opponent," said Kusari, as she formed a string of hand seals.

"Defeat? I guess you can live in that little fantasy for awhile, but I'll pull you to reality." Yamaren said as weaved one-handed seals to preform the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

"A man who alternates between pacifistic tomfoolery and frenzied madness is hardly someone who should be lecturing me about fantasy and reality," said Kusari as a shield of rock formed itself around her, deflecting the fire.

"Pacifistic? Sure you can say that, but I will fight for fun like this, or one I am needed." Yamaren said as his fist became a piston and quickly punched the wall, shattering it completely. In the close range Yamaren used the Wind Release: Dust Cloud Technique in a close range, and quickly jumbed back as to avoid Kusari striking back. Landing on the ground, Yamaren closed his eyes to focus. Opening them again, the man entered Sage Mode.

Kusari jumped backward, evading the wind technique. She allowed her lips to form a twisted smile as a massive earthen head erupted from beneath Yamaren and swallowed him, the technique which she had initiated with her hand movements. Kusari then pointed her hand at the airborne mass of earth in which Yamaren was being held. She discharged a flaming volley of arrows, igniting it.

Morphing his arm, Yamaren turned his right arm into a small wall of cannons and blasted the earthen head apart. Yamaren fell to the ground and landed in a sand dune to soften the blow. Quickly he used the Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes, sending the high number of serpents towards Kusari who quickly ingulfed her. Seeing his plan work, ten tiny serpent now latched to her, and used one of his greatest techniques, the Serpent Illusion: Hymn of the World's End Technique.

Kurokishi Shinto versus Kuhaku Mugen
Result: Kurokishi disqualified, winner is Kuhaku Mugen (Well, playing two chances at a time right ?, without giving the opponent to react ?). Judge: Hei Kurogane Landscape: Snow covered Arena

"Guess I'm up, I wonder who I get to face in this battle." said Kuhaku as he walked onto the snow-covered battlefield. "I wonder who would be my opponent?" said Kurokishi as he came across a Shinobi in the snow-covered battlefield.

"Hey you too, get ready for the showdown", yelled Hei who who shivering with cold. "so you are supposed to be my opponent? just look at you,you're shivering with cold" said Kurokishi in a low tone.

"He's not your opponent, he's the judge fool. I'm your opponent and I'm not even cold." said Kuhaku. "I was kidding anyways so Mr.Opponent what was your name again?". Said Kurokishi to Kuhaku.

"Kuhaku Mugen. Yours?" asked Kuhaku.

"The name s..,Kurokishi-Kurokishi Shinto!" replied Kurokishi.

"You cold or something?" said Kuhaku.

"Naa..,lets get this fight started! lets dance shall we? " replied Kurokishi.

"Okay. Let's dance." answered Kuhaku. He threw a couple of explosive tags attached to kunai at Kurokishi.

Kurokishi waited for the explosive tags to approach near him then he simply dodged them at ease and appeared behind Kuhaku saying "what was that supposed to do?"

"To catch you off guard." he replied. Kuhaku grabbed him by the neck and threw him into the snow.

As Kuhaku tried to throw Kurokishi his arm started hurting Kurokishi easily removed his arm and threw him away into the snow then he punched the ground creating a huge crater and causing the earth to shake ,"to be able to beat me in hand to hand combat is a nice dream but this was a light punch just imagine what would happen to that delicate body of yours if i beat you for real" said Kurokishi.

Kuhaku suddenly turned to snow and suddenly appeared behind Kurokishi. "I may not be as skilled in Taijutsu as you are. But I am skilled. Don't underestimate me!" said kuhaku. As he launched frozen shrapnel at Kurokishi from a safe distance.

Kurokishi flickered away and appearing above Kuhaku used Water Release: Water Encampment Pillar on Kuhaku followed by Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder with the intention to throw him away and get electrocuted badly.

Kuhaku mearly absorbed it as if it were nothing and sent it back at Kurokishi with even more power.

"You're not half-bad but too late kid" said Kurokishi as he activates Dark Absorption Seal which he placed on Kuhaku without even making him realize it,Kurokishi began to suck all of kuhaku's chakra and stamina.

Then he rushed towards Kuhaku trying to punch him using Strong Fist.

"Hehe." laughed kuhaku as he activated the Chakra Draining Seal that he planted on Kurokishi from the start when he grabbed his neck. Absorbing Kurokishi's chakra, he evades the attack. "I guess we were thinking the same thing" said Kuhaku.

"Lets go for a manly fight i will cancel my seal you cancel your's we will fight with our skills, courage and strategies stealing chakra isn't really my kind of thing so what say? wanna fight like real man?" asked Kurokishi.

"Interesting proposal, but are you a man of their word? You cancel yours first and i'll believe you." said Kuhaku.

"ofcourse i am" saying this Kurokishi cancels his jutsu.

"I see you kept your word." said Kuhaku as he deactivates the seal. "Now then, lets fight!"

Kurokishi smirked as he activated the seal which he placed on Kuhaku which caused kuhaku to get paralyzed and experience immense fatigue,then he activates three other Dark seal's on kuhaku's body absorbing his chakra with three times greater force and speed causing kuhaku to face tremendous pain " a ninja should be able to see through deception,i already placed five seals on you and i noticed you placed only one on me and before you would place any other seal i threw you".

Hei Kurogane who was sneezing out loud, jumped up and sent his chakra to Kuhaku's body cancelling the seal. He then got up with a stance, "You are Dis-qualified, The Winner of the First Round Snow Round is Kuhaku Mugen".

Kurokishi in a calm tone said "i didn't create a clone,i didn't force my actions on him,i didn't damage the battle field,you mad?anyways i couldn't careless,still i wonder on what ground are you disqualifying me ? perhaps kuhaku bribed you isn't it?,if kuhaku is slow it ain't my fault,if you fail to clearly explain the reason i am afraid something bad will happen here".

"So you are questioning my abilities dear !, that would be bad, for some reason" Hei said lighting his cigar. "Want one smoke ? maybe !" He added.

"Naah! i dont smoke anyways i am interested in big preys like Yoshitsune or Raido not small fries,wateva farewell Kid,you've got a long way to go.." said Kurokishi as he walked away."Hope you dont mind if i have a short unofficial fight with yoshitsune" He added.

"I don't think Chiekage-sama would like that ! You played well, next time its gonna be a victory for ya (maybe) !" Hei said as he helped Kuhaku up. "..Tsk..,you seriously think an internationally wanted criminal is here to play games? you gotta be shitting me" said Kurokishi as he showed his disgust then he walked away.

"You lack paitence and your obsession for power will lead you to your downfall. Remember that." said Kuhaku as he got up. "Here judge, my coat. Your are going to be in here again in the next match. It'll keep you warm. he said as he left the arena to go to the hospital to check any injuries. "The first round might have been a hollow victory. But the next rounds are going to be more impressive."

Yoshitsune Uchiha versus Akihiko Senju
Result: Yoshitsune won the battle. Judge: Hei Kurogane Landscape:Snow covered Arena.

Yoshitsune walked out on to the field and moved towards the center of the snowy arena. "This will be interesting, so this is the one who came with Sannoto." Yoshitsune said as he looked to the stands and saw his son Taifū and his son's teammate Kazumi watching. "That boy better get her soon." Yoshitsune mumbled as he waited for Akihiko.

Slowly, but gallantly, walking onto the battlefield was Akihiko Senju; a pure-bred member of the. "What an interesting match...", Akihiko said as he looked over at Yoshitsune, seemingly examining the man. However, his eyes seemed to be focused on his hips. This was his way of countering Yoshitsune's sharingan. By focusing on his hips, he could predict his movements without being caught in the genjutsu; as all of his techniques, especially Tsukuyomi. Eventually focusing his eyes on Yoshitsune's face, only for a brief moment however, he finished his statement"...Don't ya think?"

"Agreed, though I must ask you something. Why are you looking down? You haven't shown me any worth of activating my bloodline. Don't think I can only fight based off my eyes." Yoshitsune said as he drew Benisawa from its sheathe. "Now show me what your made of Senju."

"I like this guy", Akihiko said, shrugging, still holding his eyes towards his waist. Despite his Sharigan not being active, observing's one's hips was always a better way of fighting. Simply because it revealed much more than the eyes. How could one, with normal eyes of course, predict the movement of someone else based off their eyes? With that mentally, Akihiko pulled the Bashōsen from his back and swung it twice towards the Uchiha, the first time releasing a large wave of fire and the second time it released a large amount of wind, to strengthen the power of his fire; inadvertently melting the snow which covered the battlefield. Removing the snow also removed an obstacle for Akihiko's amazing speed.

Yoshitsune swung his sword, sending a crimson cresent of chakra out and cutting the wall of fire in half, making it pass by him without harm. "Have fun looking at a waist then, because this is a waste. Fighting involves seeing the emotion of your foe, their joy, anger, fear, hate, or anything to make you know why they fight or why they want to. You can not see emotion by staring at someone's waist, you waste." Yoshitsune said, without moving from his spot.

"Why do you fight then? I figured you fought simply because it's a tournament. Is it to show your son the ropes? Are you trying to set an example for your son?", Akihiko asked, with a smirk, as he glanced up at the young Uchiha in the stands. "I don't have any children of my own, so I wouldn't understand this sense of responsibility you have for your son, even I stared it dead in the face", commented the Senju, hinting that scanning Yoshitsune's face would be pointless for his cause.

Akihiko placed the fan onto his back once more, giving the weapon a rest before using it once more. "If you don't mind, I would like to take this battle to a closer range. Unlike Sannoto, I'm more of a Taijutsu guy.." The truth was, most of Akihiko's abilities were to simply create openings for him to strike, but he could do so without techniques. His speed was simply enough. In a instant, Akihiko had disappeared from his spot on the field and had reappeared next to Yoshitsune, with his fist heading towards the Uchiha's face. The range between the two would leave almost no time to strike, especially with the latter's blade. He would have to lift the blade and strike in an instant, and it was no time for that. Yoshitsune's abilities to defend himself with his sword were limited.

As the fist came up, Yoshitsune caught it with a single hand before pulling Akihiko close. "Hello there!" Yoshitsune grined as he slashed the caught Akihiko before kicking him back. Set an example for my son? You are partially correct. The other reason is though, I am not dead yet. I don't want my body to grow weak as my village grows strong. A weak leader for a strong area just does not work. Also, don't underestimate my strength. I am strong enough to have captured punches and even swing the iron idiot." Yoshitsune said, referencing Sannoto. "Don't think I can't fight against you." Yoshitsune said as he resheathed his sword.

Akihiko smirked and glared at Yoshitsune; staring directly into his face. "Ah, I see now. So you aren't just some regular Uchiha. Well, this battle sha'll be interesting", the Senju claimed before placing his hands on the ground. "It's a reason I was chosen to fight alongside Sannoto in these games, and that is because of my unique abilities!" With those words, Akihiko formed a few handseals and pointed his hands towards Yoshitsune. "Are you ready?", he inquired before releasing a barrage of lasers towards his way.

Seeing the lasers coming, Yoshitsune used the melted snow to create a mirror to send the lasers back, canceling the attack out. "Storm Release unique? I know someone with it, not so unique." Yoshitsune said as he fire a ball of fire at Akihiko.

Responding to the ball of fire, Akihiko created a large jet of water which ran through the ground; which subdued the flames. "A fire release user, and a water release user! You've made my day. You are indeed powerful, but are you going to be able to keep up with this!", Akihiko asked forming a series of handseals before punching the ground and releasing larges waves of gushing water from underneath of them; immediately jumping in the air afterwards. "Take this!", the Senju shrieked as he removed his Bashōsen from his back and swung it, sending lightning bolts into the water, which would seek to electrocute the Uchiha member.

Yoshitsune responded by changing the shape of his eyes and forming a chakra skeleton to protect him from the electrically charged water. "I guess I'll show you my other abilities then." Yoshitsune said as he made a lightning wolf charge Akihiko. Using this to distract him Yoshitsune fired a ball of black fire at Akihiko as well.

Responding to the Lighting Release, Akihiko simply swung the fan and countered it with a strong wind gust, forcing the lightning wolf back into the water; once again sending a electrical discharge within the water. However, his main problem was that Fire Release technique. Since he was in mid air, he couldn't manuever unless he used a cloning technique, but that was forbidden in these games. The Senju, however, did have other plans. As the ball approached, the Senju released a dark storm cloud around himself, which absorbed the technique as it approached. This not only saved him, but it also hid him within the air; as he Summoned a hawk to keep him in the air. Using that cloud as a distraction, Akihiko fired an entire barrage of lasers towards Yoshitsune's direction, making sure to control what chakra the cloud absorbed; and confirming that his techniques weren't being absorbed.

Yoshitsune quickly activated his Susanoo in its final form and formed the mirror Taiyōtate which absorbed all the lasers. USing the shields other ability, Yoshitsune made the shield blast a bright light into the eyes of the hawk and Akihiko to prevent him from making the clouds absorb chakra. Taking this chance, Yoshitsune made the final Susanoo grow legs and threw the giant's arm into the air with the Taiyōtate. USing the shield's power, Yoshitsune countered the chakra eating cloud by making Taiyōtate absorb it, as the cloud was unable to absorb the shield with how dense the chakra making it was. Deactivating his Susanoo Yoshitsune summoned forth Kingarasu, the leader of the Sun Crows. Jumping on the bird's back and directing it up, Yoshitsune now flew at the same height as Akihiko. "I command you to burn." Yoshitsune said, pointing his finger at Akihiko to trap him in the Rising of the Ten Imperial Suns technique which did not require eye contact.

Genjutsu was not Akihiko's expertise, and he struggled with it greatly. For a second, Akihiko felt like his body was on fire. His sense of touch was being tampered with; something he didn't particularly care for. Why couldn't he have trapped him in some sort of illusion, which could have forced Akihiko to give up? Either way, the Senju was determined to escape from the genjutsu and to win the battle. He closed his eyes and placed his palms together, focusing his chakra. His chakra control was very poor, and he doubted himself that he could escape the technique, but he HAD to try. Sweat poured from his forehead, and he could barely focus. I MUST, i HAVE to do this, he thought to himself as chakra surrounded his body. He shrieked at the top of his lungs and his body began to shake. He was almost out of the genjutsu, but then....he suddenly collapsed. The warrior was incapable of escaping the technique, and had finally fell to the heat. He did his best, but it still wasn't enough.

Yoshitsune had Kingarasu fly in close and Yoshitsune caught the falling Senju. Placing him safely on the ground, Yoshitsune began to wake him up.

Akihiko slowly opened his eyes, and placed his hand on his forehead. "W-What happened?", he inquired, not actually expecting someone to reply. Was he safe? Did Yoshitsune actually carry him to safety?

"Good to see you awake. Most take longer when I use that genjutsu." Yoshitsune said, beggining to leave when his opponent awoke. "Good match Senju, maybe one day you can beat Sannoto, and with more me." Yoshitsune joked, leaving the arena.

"Heh, he's not too bad", Akihiko claimed, a smirk forming upon his visage as he hauled himself off the ground and out off of the arena. His time to battle was finished. Now, he would sit alongside his partner and watch the rest of the battles; as they both were eliminated.

Yuki Akiko versus Shiki Uchiha
Result: Judge: Landscape: A Plain Arena with bones hanging out from the the ground.

Shiki Walks into the Arena with bones hanging out from the ground Looking around at the Bones with wonder "Hmmm how interesting I wonder how that got there in the first place" Shiki said as he continued to examine the Bones while running his hands along one of them before looking around the Area with a small smile, "I wonder who will be fighting" Shiki mumbled as he leaned on the Bone he was examining and closed his eyes before smirking "This could be fun".

A purple haired lady walked inside the arena with incredibly sicked facial expression. "Why I am battling in this kind of plain arena while my partner is battling on the icy stage..." Nevertheless, she quickly swung her head around to observe the situation and of course, she took a couple of second to scan her opponent as well. "Well, I guess I will look at the situation first..." As the battle began, she quickly unsheathe her long sword and posted a defensive stance.

Hearing The Sound of Footsteps approaching Shiki Tilts his head slightly to the left while opening one eye to see a beautiful young kunoichi with gorgeous face, slender body and tall height for a female. She has a short light purple hair with two long curved bangs on each side of her forehead and a pair of blue-purple eyes, known as Ōroragan or Aurora Eyes, without any special ability. Her common attire consists of a white sweatshirts with light purple sleeves along with a few cyan color pockets attached on it, beneath it lies a black singlets. Turning his Head Fully and Smiling as She Took on a Defensive Stance, "Oh My So my opponent is quiet a Beauty" Shiki Said as he Opens both his Both his Eyes yet Renaming leaning on the Bone with his arms Crossed.

Kuro Nakatomi versus Raizo Ozunu
Result: Judge: Kajō Uzumaki Landscape: Normal field, but with sneeze gas in the atmosphere,... sneezing all the time.

Raizo Ozunu walked up on the battlefield when his name was called and looked up saw the gas and immediately began to sneeze.. what the hell kind of battlefield is this... AChoo Who even comes up with these kind of thing Raizo Said between sneezes.. whoever my opponent I wish they hurry the hell up.. This is insane

Kuro walked into the battlefield and sneezed a little, "so it is this kind of field" he said under his breath. As he walked he noticed a man standing across from him, "I guess this is the guy".

Clearly this is the guy Raizo said with his arm over his nose.. This sneezing is going to get in my way.. but I can actually use this.. Somehow ..

As you can guess Im Raizo Ozunu and you are my opponent now that we got the intoductions out the way.. lets go Raizo said as thrust his hand forward using Lava Release: Fissure Vent Eruption which created a Fissure as the earth spilt open a stream of lava appeared behind the spilt in the form of a Vertical wave at his opponent..

Lets see whether this person is just a fighter or a person of interest Raizo thought

Kuro looked at his opponent attack intensly for a moment then smiled, he make the tiger seal a rampart rises him above the attack, the attacked it the bottom of it causing it to burn. "I am Kuro Nakatomi" he stated, Kuro thrus his hand forward, creating the same attack Raizo used earlier.

hmmm he's a smart ass of a fighter but earth so far.. simple enough Raizo said as he rolled out of the way of his move as it fissured to the ground.. hmm ive got a plan in mind to win this once he got back on his feet he used Lava Release: Rude Awakening to create a mini eruption beneath the feet of kuro which blow him sky high in the air with a forceful eruption

As the attack knocked Kuro into the air he covered himself in diamond hard armor. As he travels though the air he lets out a lightning infused scream toward Raizo before landing on the ground.

Sayotsu Uzumaki versus Yasuki Hatake
Result: Judge: Shikanō Nara Landscape: quicksand. Beware no standing at one spot for you will be buried in the earth

Yasuki jumped onto a rock in the stadium waiting for his opponent.

Sayotsu Uzumaki arrived at the battle field ,looking at Yasuki he asked "so i guess i am your opponent,I am Sayotsu Uzumaki by the way and whats your name?"

The name's Yasuki Hatake, nice to meet you" yasuki said as he put his Brass Knuckles on his hands.

"putting brass knuckles during introduction,Yasuki Hatake you say? umm i heard this name oh yeah Yasuki the Jinchūriki of Kokuo and you happen to be one of the most strongest shinobi's ever produced by konoha..can this day get any luckier?" Said Sayotsu as he jumped and threw his Fūma Shuriken towards Yusuki.

So i'm known for Kokuo eh'" yasuki said as he jumped avoiding the shuriken and then used Lightning Release: Zeus' Gauntlet aiming straight at the Uzumaki.

Sayotsu immediately drew out his White Apocalypse then used Sword Style: Total Reflection technique reflecting Yasuki's attack on him but with three times greater strength and speed.

so you reflected it with your sword eh'" Yasuki said as he landed on a rock and then jumped into the sand nuetrelizing the electricity

Sayotsu activated his Yang Release: Exoskeleton and used Rupture in combination with Samurai Sabre Technique intending to slash Yasuki,said "yup! i guess".

Nice armor there kid!" Yasuki said as he Jumped back and swung his brass knuckles charged with lightning and fire chakra colliding with the sword.

Sayotsu easily matched Yasuki's attack power then he uses Flame Slasher to ignite his sword in pure flames and increase its strength ,tries to Sever Yasuki's right arm.

Yasuki then activated the 4th gate of the Eight Gates and out matched Sayotsu's strength cracking the sword and the brass knuckles at the same time.

Sayotsu instantaneously used Yang Release: Heavenly Cresent Moon Waves with huge amount of chakra which not only is strong enough to cut mountains and its surroundings in halves but due to the pressure applied on the sword the sword it self destroys while sayotsu leaps back thinking that he dealt fatal damage to Yasuki,however Sayotsu was not ready to take the risk so he activates his Sharingan

Out of the smoke Yasuki appeared in full Tailed Beast Chakra Mode and said "So your an Uzumaki that has the Sharingan, impressive" then made 2 Chakra arms come out of his back and started forming the Tailed Beast Ball and launched it right at Sayotsu.

Sayotsu used Gunbai Barrier Technique on the right time therefore the attack had no effect on him,then he used Water Release: Water Trumpet with Lightning Release: Depth Charge  in order to blow Yasuki away and get him badly electrocuted.

Yasuki went out of chakra mode and bolted straight for Sayotsu using the lightning that sayotsu just used back at him with Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder then jumped back and got into a stance preparing for a technique.

Sayotsu used Chakra Enhanced Speed to dodge the technique then he used Lightning Release: Phoenix Sage thunder Technique concealing shurikens in the thunder and from a point blank range on Yasuki making it almost impossible for him to dodge it.

From point blank range Yasuki also used Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder crushing the lightning and also hitting Sayotsu attempting to break the armor along with some body damage.

However due to the fact that Yasuki moved behind Sayotsu and used thousand armed murder ,which happens to be a relatively large technique to be used from a point blank range sayotsu easily noticed it with his sharingan and moved away using his normal speed combined with chakra enhanced speed and then used Chakra Chains binding Yasuki.

Ha! so that didn't work and you actually think that these chains can keep me bound? especially if i go into my tailed beast form??" yasuki said as he increased his chakra and went into the Five Tailed Gobi.

"oh-boy! a tailed beast on a rampage? great now whats next?" said Sayotsu as he used Lightning Release: Great Lightning Destruction followed by Lightning Release: Lightning Dragons Rage Missile on Gobi,and then activated the fifth gate of the Eight Gates.

"hahaha the boy thinks that i'm on a rampage he ain't even seen me on a rampage yet!!" Gobi said as he launched a full powered Tailed Beast Ball to counter the lightning jutsu's and then swung all five of it's tails hitting tayoshi,

Sayotsu used body replacement technique replacing himself with the sand ,then Sayotsu used Water Release: Water Trumpet on Yasuki as a diversion as he charges the jutsu at yasuki,Sayotsu activates his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Yasuki took the hit and fell out of tailed beast mode and fell right into the sand and used multiple Fire Release: Running Fire techniques sending them straight at Sayotsu from the sand.

Suddenly a god like figure appears before Yasuki which is almost at the same size of Gobi,it has three arms and they are equipped with tools like shield,Kangiten Curved Dagger and a orb,then Sayotsu shouts Kangiten which protects him from the technique. Then Charging Kangiten's orb Sayotsu fires several Fire-coated Magatama from the orbs on his Kangiten on Yasuki.

As soon as the Magatama hit yasuki he exploded into steam covering the battlefield in superheated steam then launched Steam Release: Superheated Bullet from inside and outside the steam.

Sayotsu used Water Release: Water Mirror Technique returning the steam bullet back to yasuki,then sayotsu looking dircetly into Yasuki's eye casted Sharingan: Hallucination.

In the Hallucination Yasuki saw his fears; not being able to control the Gobi, seeing all of his friends dead cause of the rampage and the village destroyed also, but that just gave him more resolve and he started increasing his chakra flow to get out of the genjutsu.

Sayotsu interpreted the strength of Yasuki and activated his storm flames igniting his kangiten's sword,shield,orb and chest with the flames and releasing some of his storm flames towards Yasuki,used Fire Release: Lionsault Inferno.

Yasuki countered the flames with Water Release: Five Feeding Sharks then jumped up and used Needle Hell Mountain above Sayotsu.

Yasuki noticed the water instead of putting up the flames increased the strength of storm flames which rushed towards him and needles didn't put a single scratch on Kangiten,Sayotsu grew angry and his Kangiten grew comparatively in size then he swung kangiten's sword ignited with the storm flames and used Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique directly on Yasuki.

Yasuki charges through the water forcing his way with Rasengan then activated his genjutsu

Sayotsu broke through yasuki's genjutsu and barraged him down with storm flames,then Sayotsu swung kangiten's sword with the intention to bisect yasuki.

Yasuki charged an enormous amount of pure fire out of his hands to put between him and the blade.

Sayotsu increase the force pushing back Yasuki,then he used Chakra Chains binding yasuki and tried to finish him of using Lightning Beast Running Technique.

Yasuki countered with Lightling Release: Vultures Discharge and then used Summoning Technique: Wolf to summon 2 giant wolfs to attack Sayotsu jumping from rocks to rocks

Mazoku Mao versus Akurei Ohaka
Result: Akurei Ohaka Judge: Kizoku Hyūga Landscape: Rocky Surface.

As Mazoku walked out onto the field he had hoped for a better enviormental advantage but he could work with this, "so where is my opponent" he said as he got ready for the fight to begin.

Akurei arrived on the field, a large man by any definition of the word. He moved with purpose, and with clear confidence. "I greet you, Mazoku Mao. I hope that our battle will be entertaining for all to watch." Akurei said, giving a small bow to his enemy. From just a look he could tell Mazoku was an interesting sort of person. He could easily sense the chakra around him, and that chakra was like that of a raging demon. But Akurei had faced such foes before. He had confidence in his ability to win.

"it is a pleasure to meet you", said Mazoku as he got into the first position of his zen do kai fighting stance "are you ready?".

"Ready? Of course I am, otherwise I would not be alive." Akurei said, and then he made his move. Forming several handseals in rapid succession, he took advantage of the distance between him and Mazoku. Placing a hand next to his mouth he exhaled, releasing several dragons of fire which soared towards Mazoku.

"so the game beginss...", said Mazoku as he easily dodged each of the dragon in quick succession using his speed, he then turned to his opponent and said, "is that all you got? I surely hope not or this is going to be boring" as he formed a couple hand signs and sent a barrage of bones right at Akurei using bone creation to impale him.

"Such simple tactics... And you have the gull to ask if I'm at my limit..." Akurei muttered, standing his ground. He didn't need to move, for such simple tactics were to him as a fly to a forest fire. As the bones surged forth, he pulled back his fist... And with a single punch, he shattered the bone like glass. Akurei's skin, as tough as steel, and his inhuman strength were too much for the simple bone, and while an intimidating ability, Akurei was not afraid of anything that came from the human body. For humans were frail, and bones were all to human...

"Now, before you end up like that bone, you should surrender." Akurei said, forming a handseal. And then, he inhaled, and then he exhaled. And when he exhaled a purple mist began to escape from his mouth. The mist spread rapidly, covering a large portion of the arena within moments. Akurei stood in the center of the Mist, hidden from Mazoku's line of sight.

"you think is that all I have, well you would be wrong I haven't even begun to fight", said mazoku as he released the seal compressing all his demon energy causing the wind to blow all the smoke away clearing up his view. Mazoku then disappeared in a flash of red above the man and aimed a spinning air kick to his head which was enhanced by his strength stronger then any humans.

Akurei was prepared for the attack, easily picking up Mazoku's foul chakra with his sensory abilities he reacted. Raising a hand to catch the kick he sent a surge of chakra into Mazoku's body upon contact. A simple use of his Pain Amplification technique was all Akurei needed to rely on, and a surge of crippling pain would rush through Mazoku's body. As for Akurei, his increased durability, provided with quick reflexes and inhuman strength lessened the force of the impact, but even he was knocked back several feet. "Impressive speed, but you are nothing compared to a solid tactic like mine." Akurei chuckled. "The modifications to my body make me harder to kill than any other human alive." Forming a handseal, Akurei began to target the earth with his next attack. The earth around Mazoku began to move downwards, trapping him inside a pit of earth.

Mazoku could feel the earth sinking beneath him and that that last attack had hurt alittle bit knocking him off balance but he didn't worry, "is this suppose to stop me it is laughable" said mazoku as he transformed his arm into his demon form and punched the ground sending him flying out of the hole his opponent had created. As he landed he started to spin at an increadible speed sending golden flames flying in all directions but away from the stadium guests.

Another attack, all to easy for Akurei to plan for an evade. Digging into the earth, he moved beneath the flames, protected by the stone of the earth. Hidden once more he moved quickly. The earth around Mazoku's feet began to collapse, and with his great momentum it would be nearly impossible for Mazoku to stop spinning before the earth beneath him collapsed and covered him to his neck. If Akurei couldn't overwhelm Mazoku with pure force he would trap the enemy in earth, stopping him from even moving.

"Too slow", yelled Mazoku while still spinning jumped straight into the air then fired a giant fireball straight down into the hole that Akurei was hiding in to try and stop his movements. He then created a pole made of bones which he swung around until he let go and landed a few feet away to watch and see if his attack worked on his opponent.

Considering the amount of talking Mazoku did, Akurei reacted swiftly. Sealing the hole and moving away, he avoided the fire attack easily. But Mazoku was an interesting foe... Akurei needed to up his advantage. Moving beneath Mazoku, Akurei formed several handseals, and exhaled. A explosion of fire erupted directly beneath Mazoku, a wave so massive that he couldn't dodge it like he had before. With no escape Mazoku would have to rely on his defensive abilities.

feeling the heat eminatting from beneath him mazoku sat and waited as the fire engulfed him but it had no effect he lived in a world made of fire. Mazoku then gathered all of his demonic energy into his fist and punched a huge cratar down to where Akurei was hiding then he began to enhale fire which seemed to come pouring from underground one of his secret techniques hell fire which was hotter then any fire known to man so he shot it straight at Akurei knowing it was going to be hard to dodge in that tight space.

The mistake was thinking Akurei couldn't dodge underground... Because to him the earth was like water, and he could move and control it with ease. Easily avoiding the fire, but even he could feel the heat resonating from the attack. Moving to the surface, Akurei began to bend light around him, making him unseen to Mazoku's senses. For all his enemy knew, Akurei had been killed in that last attack, and wouldn't be expecting an invisible attacker. Moving from behind, Akurei began to reach out towards his enemy. Aiming a punch at Mazoku from behind, Akurei planned to end the fight with a single strike to Mazoku's heart and end the fight instantly. Not even a demon king would shrug off a heart attack.

Mazoku could feel the killer intent coming from behind him so tucked and rolled forward out of the reach of his opponent then transformed into his full demonic form made entirely of bone and a central nucleus with glowing red eye's and standing at 10 feet tall he then let out a roar which caused a huge amount of killer intent to be released trying to phase his opponent long enough to not notice the shuriken he threw moments ago.

Akurei's invisibilty faded and he had a second of hesitation as a wave of killing intent washed over him. The intent to kill was almost palpable, and Akurei took a step back to relieve at least a little stress... And he would have been dead, if Mazoku had actually done something dangerous to Akurei. The shuriken easily bounced off of Akurei's hardened skin, the sensation of touching forcing him back to reality. Now in reality, Akurei breathed in, and exhaled again, another wave of purple mist like before spreading out. The mist spread out rapidly like before.

Mazoku tried to cause the wind to blow it away again but since he had already unleashed his demon form he couldn't so he was engulfed by the mist and had a hard time seeing but instead of paniacking he gathered all of his fire chakra and used fire dragon jutsu at where he thought Akurei was last.

But Akurei wasn't standing still, he was on the move. Running through the poisonous mist he moved silently, forming handseals as he continued to enact a plan against his enemy. Again he used Earth Release: Moving Earth Core against Mazoku, the ground around the enemy rising as it formed a wall around him. The wall would keep Mazoku from attacking Akurei, but Akurei was more than capable of keeping Mazoku on the defensive. Forming another handseal, Akurei used Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld, creating a swamp beneath Mazoku, holding him in place to keep him from attempting to escape. The poison alone would be more than enough to end this battle... Akurei had once more shown that he was beyond most ninja, and he didn't even need to use his ultimate technique.

Since Mazoku was in his demon form it was easy to get unstuck but the poison was beginning to affect his judgement and balance so before he passed out he transformed back into his human and punched a hole big enough in the wall to escape and use his bone technique to get out of the poison gas which he could still feel alittle after effects. "You got me Akurei it was pleasure fighting you", said Mazoku as he passed out ending the match but luckly his friend kenshi entered the field and took him to be healed.

Akurei didn't seem to react to the news of victory, but on the inside he was pleased. The poison would eventually break apart, leaving nothing in it's wake, but then there was Mazoku. The poison Akurei had used wasn't something one could simply have healed... He would need to take care of Mazoku's health. "You!" He shouted to Kenshi. "You'll need this." he said, tossing a small vial to Mazoku. "Make sure he drinks it all, there is a deadly virus in that poison, if he doesn't he's dead."

And with that, Akurei left, smiling at his victory.

And While the games go on
As the battles started, Yoshitsune stood in a booth, watching Yamaren start to walk out. "Good luck friend, I know you'll succeed me in my title." Yoshitsune said, hinting to Yamaren's future position.

Kiba intervened Yoshitsune's thoughts as he came behind him, "Hows it going Genkage" Kiba said in a calm tone. "Just keeping an eye on Yamaren. Waiting to see if any of my family may come and watch the games. My crow should return with a response soon." Yoshitsune replied, being pulled out of thought.

"Well, That great ! What do you think about the games ?", Kiba said worryingly. "They seem good so far, I have yet to see foul play of any kind." Yoshitsune responded as a small crow landed with a letter.

"Foul Play ? you say, I am kinda worried about Neo Akatsuki, I heard they are upto go good !" Kiba said as he looked at the small crow. "Not sure on them, last I heard of them is they got into a clash with my chūnin Hōseki. My sweet Yuzuki can't come as she is busy at the school. My daughter is running a slight fever, though it says she well better soon. It appears my son and his teammate are coming with Chikara leading them. Good, I wouldn't want them alone, or with Shiranui." Yoshitsune said, shivering at the thought of his annoying brother-in-law.

"Thats a big family you got there !, but you know according to our intelligence sources, after the death of Tafun one of his close mates with the Byakugan has renovated the..." Kiba was broken down the arrival of Futeki Kihaku, "My My, I don't want you to spread our organisation's secrets like that" He said in a mischievous tone.

"I wouldn't worry to much, to wield the Rinnegan properly one would need both Uchiha and Senju DNA. It is, hopefully the boy can continue it. Kiyomi, no boy would impress me for her." Yoshitsune said with fatherly pride, completely ignoring Futeki.

Kiba half-heard Yoshitsune as he looked at Futeki, "Why are you here ? idiot" Kiba asked in a angry tone. "Well Chiekage and Genkage ! I am leaving but next time you speak about us, it would be the last time you open your mouths" Futeki said as he replaced himself with a spinning top. Yoshitsune laughed the threat off. "He should know, killing us is a tricky task." Yoshisune said.

"I know, he isn't much of a threat to me, but if the people find a member of the criminal organisation in this village, there would be a lot of chaos" Kiba said with a smile. "True I guess. Such things can be a pain." replied the Genkage with a sigh.

"Well, looks like the competitors in Snow Stadium are having fun" Kiba said in a attempt to change the conversation to a peaceful one.

Raizo stood watching over the begin phase of the battle between Raido and Sannoto.. as well as viewing the others... The Sannoto guy is a Senju who possess A kekkei Touta... Not really on my target list but I can add him as well. I need to see the KG of all the fighters here.. I know Raido uses the Freezing Release so he's already been targeted.. now I see to document the rest of them..and make my report Raizo went on

Kenshi knew alot of strong people were here but he needed to make his presense known and win his first match.

Mazoku sat next to the man named raizo to see what his thoughts were on the competitors. "so hey who do you think is going to win all of this?", asked mazoku as he carefully waited for a answer.

Yoshitsune looked over at Raizo and walked towards him, bidding Kiba farewell. "Your the man who came in with Raido, am I right?" Yoshitsune asked the man with interest.

as Raizo noticed two men engaging him he quieted his thoughts and entered the friendly conversation.. First speaking to Mazoku .. To be honest I would love to say I would win this.. but they way im hearing about the sotires of the shinobi hear.. that might be out the question.. Raizo said making sure he kept a low profile..

he then turned to Yoshitsune. sadly... yea Raido and I have a interesting friendship you can say.. I came here with him in order to get a closer look at his abilities.. and make sure I have him documented so when I fight him.. I can build a working plan to combat him Raizo said to yoshitsune....... After getting a better look at Yoshitsune Raizo eyerbrow Raised up..

I hate to point this out.. but you share a few facial similarites to Raido.. cant help but notice.. Are you guy family or some sort Raizo said interested in this new discovery

"We are both Uchiha, and are ancestors were brothers. Well, a friend of... what was it Shiranui called him, ah the Ballerina is a friend of mine. I'm interested in seeing what you can do." Yoshitsune said as he look over to Yamaren quickly to see his opponent walk out.

HAhahaha The Ballerina Raizo laughed as he knew he was refering to Raidos taijutsu based attackes... When the time comes you will see what I can do.. I look forward to your abilities as well.. the uchiha clan even with few survivors have quite the background.. raizo Responded..

Hmm so Raido has distant family.. .. this is a new but troubling discovery.. I cant say for sure if or when we go after Raido this guy will back him up.. btu Im goign to have to keep an eye on this one.. Fa' rao needs to here about this one.. Raizo Thought...

Speaking of which when will it be our turn to get in there and tussel it up Raizo asked Yoshitsune. "I'm not sure. Right now I am waiting for my family and friends to show up from what my message says they are coming." Yoshitsune said with a smile.

Kuro watched the matches "Hmm...it seems we have some interesting fighters here", he activates his gengan quickly before deactivating it. "I wonder who I will be fighting against".

Kenshi felt a strange power activate then disappear as fast as it came he turned around to find a man named Kuro watching the matches with extreme concentration so he asked, "hey what kind of power did you just use".

Yoshitsune still spoke with Raizo for a few minutes until Chikara, Taifū, and Kazumi walk up. "Thank for watching them get here Chikara." Yoshitsune graciously, patting his son on the head. "No problem, I wouldn't want to see your son and espicially Kazumi hurt." Chikara said as he began to return home. "Chikara, you sure do act more like a father to Hōseki and Kazumi rather than a brother or cousin." Yoshitsune said to were Chikara would not hear, though Kazumi laughed at the comment.

"Woohoo! Go me!" cried the Chibi Clone of Anjin, watching excitedly its creator fighting the girl with the long hair that looked really soft. Muttering as an aside, a referee said to Kiba, "Doesn't that violate the no clones rule?" "Nah, it's not even in the arena and was made before the match. But I've never seen a clone like that before..."

Kuro turned an looked at the man now standing next to him "If we fight, you will find out what it is" he replied, as he began to turn away. Someone stops him, he looks around and see Ame appear infront of him, "Have you made any progress yet?" she said with a smile on her face. She turns to Kenshi "hello".

Yoshitsune took the two kids and secured a few seats for the three and continued watching Yamaren. Yoshitsune sat next to Taifū with Kazumi sitting next to Taifū. Kazumi rested her head on Taifū's shoulder and start drifting to sleep, which caused the boy to blush. Yoshitsune knudged his son and gave him a thumbs up, knowing his feelings for the girl. Taifū pretended not to notice in his embarassment.

Kenshi couldn't believe how beautiful the woman who was talking to him was so he calmly releaxed and said, it is a pleasure my name is Kenshi".

Raizo all the while looked over each fighter.... A big turn up.. I need to check all these guys out and document them.. had I known this many would show up.. I would have brought Terrax or Gekido.. raizo Thought to himself..

I have to keep a low profile which as of now works.. no one around here recongnizes me whihch is good... I should run into no problems here then long as my cover isnt blown Raizo thought to himself as he recored the names of the shinobi and profiled them in his Bingo Book

Still in his cloak Yasuki approached Raizo and said "well well well if it isn't my old friend Raizo

Raizo placed his Book back in his signature.. Black and red jacket... and turned to see none other than yasuki...

Ah the Angry Steam release user.. Raizo said in his is own humor... Im not surprised as to why i would find you here.. but I thought we would never met again.. you better hope they dont match us up.. things will be different from that fight we had in the village. this time you have no backup and I dont either so it will be one on no no excuse... and should you lose.. well You already know my what My goal is .....Raizo said fixing his coat and

Shit.. this complicates things.. but I may still be able to keep a low profile round here.. besides Yasuki im still unknown to most shinobi.. I can play this to my advantage... Raizo thought to himself..

"I agree, one on one, no excuses and i know how you work, you dont want anyone knowing bout you and your abilities nor do i for the time being so lets keep each other's abilities a secret wouldn't you agree" Yasuki said taking his cloak off.

I see so you figured out my little ruse here.. Raizo said putting his head down.. Well then for a time we agree .. Lets remain as low as possible then Raizo said.. Think of it as were on the same mission the less others find out about our ploy the better Raizo said smoothing his Black and red hair back..

"Couldn't agree more, Good luck in the tournament" Yasuki said

Seeing his match called up, Yoshitsune got out of his seat and stood. "I'll be back soon, don't do anything idiotic." Yoshitsune said as he left to the arena

At the hospital, the doctors told Kuhaku that he didn't suffer any serious damage and a considerable amount of his chakra was. He would be fine for round two. As he left the hospital, he went for a quick bite and headed back to the arena to continue watching the games. As he went he saw Taifū. "Hey is this seat taken?" he asked.

After his match with Sannoto which ended in a DQ Raido took this time to go back outside and just relax and take it easy until the next match....

Whoever I face next has to be good.. no they better be great id hate to go from a match of this caliber to a lackluster fighter Raido said as he walked around

"Oh, no its not." Taifū said to Kuhaku while trying to not disturb Kazumi as much as possible.

As Kenshi watched some of the matches unfold he could feel the dark part of his soul creeping ever closer, steadly growing Kenshi sat as his eye's turned a blood red and his skin began to turn black starting from his arm all the up "not now", thought Kenshi as surpressed and countinued to watch the matches.

As Kuhaku sat down. He watched Yoshitsune's match. "Man that guy's got skills." said Kuhaku. "That is my dad." Taifū said with pride, though in the process woke Kazumi up. "Your dad's fighting?" the Shima girl asked drowsily.

Raido looked around at the groups of fighters and thought about the quest he about to embark on.. It has been fun but after this Im going on a hiatus from mission, visits everything my own Pilgrimage.. to become a myth of my own and unlock what has eluded me for so long.. I willd find out whether there truth to what he said on my own.. but for now Il enjoy this little vacation im on

Taifū looked over and saw Raido, a famous Uchiha walking by. "He knows my dad. Kazumi, lets go meet him." Taifū said as he began to walk over to Raido, with Kazumi following quickly in tow.

"Oh, well. What are you going to do?", Sannoto said with a sigh as he walked outside, observing his surroundings. He was disqualified for using a cloning technique, which he still found to be absurd, but it was indeed the rules. "I hope Akihiko can beat Yoshitsune though. He seemed to be holding his own. He might be capable of pulling it off, if not than we'll still stick around to watch these battles..", the Senju said to himself, before looking over at Raido, who was peacefully taking a break. However, Sannoto saw that those children were attempting to bother him. In a quick manner, the blonde-haired male intersected the children before they could reach the Uchiha. "What do you kids think you're doing?", he inquired.

Kenshi could tell that something was up so he walked up to sannoto and said, "they just want to visit a family friend name's Kenshi, I overheard them talking and he knows their dad so if it's no trouble can they say hi?".

Sannoto examined the Uchiha's face, eventually recognizing him. "Oh, so you're Yoshitsune's boy! Why didn't you just say that? I'm sure Raido would want to meet you, especially since you two hail from the same clan; or at least partially. Anyway, just go...", Sannoto said, before looking down at Kenshi. "Kenshi, huh? Well, my name is Sannoto.."

Looking at Sannoto, Kazumi back off a little. "Are you okay?" Taifū asked, noticing her seeming nervous. "I-I'm fine, I've heard about this man through Chikara. Mister Sannoto your a Senju right?" Kazumi asked the tall man.

"Mister?", Sannoto laughed loudly, seemingly incapable of containing it. "You're making me feel old.." he playfully replied. "But yes, I am a Senju. One of the finest Senju at that." Sannoto always had a tendency to show off, and this situation was no different.

"Do you remember a man named Chikara Shima? He is my cousin and he said you two fought before along with my adoptive cousin Hōseki and some Uzumaki. Also I come from the Shima clan, who are related to the Senju." Kazumi said to the Senju. Taifū, though he wanted to meet raido, refused to leave Kazumi and silently listened to the two.

"well Sannoto it is a pleasure to meet you sorry for intruding on family matters its just in my nature if I see anyone in trouble or I feel something is up I rush in too help sorry", he said as he tried to have a nice conversation and make some friends other then Mazoku.

"Chikara..", The Senju mumbled, thinking to himself for a moment. He always had is own fair share of battles, so pointing out certain people was always difficult for him. "Wait!", he exclaimed. "The Lava Release user! Yes, I remember him now. He was indeed an interesting opponent", Sannoto reminisced. He enjoyed that battle greatly, even informing others of his opponent. "I'm surprised he even mentions my name. I hope everything he said was good. Anyway, you said that you're related to the Senju Clan? Well, I guess that makes us family; in a sense..", the Senju shrugged and smiled. "So, how about a little battle? A test of skill and will? You're little teammate can join in if he wants by the way", Sannoto claimed, referring to the Uchiha.

"So what dad says is true, you are an iron idiot." Taifū said as he interrupted the two from talking. Despite Taifū being normally confident when fighting with Kazumi, he knew sannoto was differnt, that even Yoshitsune had difficulty fighting the man.

"Iron idiot, huh? He would be the one to name me that, but I guess it can't be helped", Sannoto said, shrugging as he turned and face Taifū. "Well, are you going to keep me waiting? Unless you want me to go first..." The Senju smirked and glared down at Taifū intensely, especially in his eyes. Sannoto was basically begging him to activate his Sharigan. After all, he would need it.

"Hello Sannoto, I would appreciate you to stop harassing Taifū and Kazumi." Yoshitsune said as he walked up after his battle ended.

"Harassing? Come on, Yoshitsune. I wasn't harassing those two. Just the boy", said Sannoto, pointing over at Taifū. "Besides, a little harassment here and there is good for children. He's lucky I didn't bring up anything about his little girlfriend over here. Then he would've really been embarrassed.."

"What do you mean-" Taifū as he moved forward angrily, by was stopped by Yoshitsune. "Don't provoke him further, Indint want to deal with his anger he inherited from his mom. Now leave it at this Sannoto, exposure to my wife for so long I have a bit of a temper now too. Especially when it envolves the kids if my village." Yoshitsune said with a black face. Kazumi looked worried the two men were about to fight.

"Everyone calm down", Sannoto mediated, attempting to keep peace. "It's no reason to get so worked up. With anger issues like that, you're pronged to do something stupid. Something that could potentially cause you your life. Yoshitsune, you know that don't you?" The Senju was always prepared, just in case, something occurred.

"I do, but messing with the children of the galaxy, I can show how I sane man is enhanced by anger." Yoshitsune said, putting a hand on both Taifū and Kazumi's head. "These two will last longer than I will, and carry in in the village when I'm six feet under. They will watch the next generation and so on and so forth. It is a cycle, don't bother it." The Genkage said, now calm and calming both the chūnin down.

"Don't worry, Yoshitsune. I wasn't planning on disrupting that cycle in the slightest. But, allow me to speak with the girl for a few. She is still a distant member of the Senju Clan. It would be wise for her to know a little about her history after all, and I'm one that can educate her in the area. So what do you say?", Sannoto inquired, as he looked down at Kazumi. "Do you want to learn more about your clan's history, but more in your abilities. It would be for a brief moment. Trust me, it wouldn't take long.."

"A-Alright." Kazumi said, wanting to learn about the Senju. Taifū could tell she was nervous about Sannoto, and he wrapped her hand in his. "I'll listen to this too then. Senju are related to the Uchiha just as much as the Senju are related to the Shima." Taifū said; showing he won't leave her alone, causing Kazumi to blush as he held her hand.

A masked man has walked into the seating area he walks to a vacent seat and sits down his name Sykushi Uchiha "no one knows me and my mask looks suspicious what could possible go wrong" he thought to himself

Raido who was lost in his thoughts came back to reality to see the situation unfold... he then engaged the group on his own.... I see there's party over here and you guys werent even going to invite me were you Raido X said walking up... so What I miss.. Sorry about the match Sannoto Hate for a good match like that to get stopped short and worst of all just get handed the win.... Dont worry ill make it up to next time and you can finish losing to me Raido X joked with him... Raido Saluted Yoshitsune and his children as well... Yoshitsune so glad to see that smiling face of yours.. how did your match go.

"Cute..", Sannoto responded, referring to the connection of hands that was going on between the two children. "But you should tag along. Now come..", the Senju said as he slowly started to walk away, expecting the children to follow.

"I won my match with little problems. Sorry for your buddy Sannoto." Yoshitsune said with a smirk. Taifū looked over at his father to see if it was okay to go, and after hgtting approval followed Sannoto, still holding Kazumi's hand as she began to smile.

"I see this is where those who passed the fights have chosen to gather." From behind Yoshitsune a voice sounded... A familiar voice. "It's been a while, hasn't it, Yoshitsune?" Akurei Ohaka said, standing behind the the Uchiha. He smiled as he clapped his hands together. "I apologize for not witnessing your fight, I was busy with a match of my own. Fighting a Demon can be taxing on the clock."

Well then if im lucky and my streak continues who knows you may wind up being my next opponent... just wishful thinking .. just dont make any clones.. I cant take another easy victory. over the onl ypeople who can make this exciting... Raido X said to yoshitsune before he noticed someone behind him.. I think a friend of yours is standing behind.. dont know him and never seen him .. but looks like you should be familiar with him

Yoshitsune nodded to Raido and looked at Akurei. "I understand, I fought you before havent' I?" Yoshitsune said as a joke to the large, purple man.

"Yes we did." Akurei replied, giving a slight chuckle. "I take it you still don't hold a grudge? It would be a shame if that little incident with your brother's corpse still brought bad blood between us."

"Doesn't matter, the corpse is back in its spot.t hat is all that matter's." Yoshitsune said, remembering their battle.

"You're right." Akurei said, smiling at Yoshitsune like a hungry dog. "But, I can deal with that defeat, and I have moved on. I have other plans after all. There are other Uchiha in this world that I can use for my plans."

"Though I disapprove, do as you please." Yoshitsune said.

"I could thank you, but I never needed your permission anyway." Akurei chuckled, folding his arms. "But trust me, next time we meet, I will be that much closer to the power of the Sage of Six Paths."

Private Matters Between Family
Eventually, Sannoto and his two followers had reached a private room in the enormous stadium. The room was well decorated, and their was plenty of food placed on the table. Apparently, this is the special treatment Sannoto received, due to his grandfather being a friend, but more of a mentor, to Kiba Uchiha himself. "Ah, this is better than I expected..", the blonde haired Senju said to himself, before approaching the table and taking a seat; signaling Kazumi and Taifū to join him at the table.

Taking the signal, Taifū pulled out a chair for Kazumi to sit down first. AS she sat, he then sat next to her and across from Sannoto. "Alright, we're ready." Kazumi and Taifū said in unison.

The older male grabbed a bread roll from a basket in the middle of the table and took a bite. "Hmmm? I'm a little surprised that these are still warm", he said, suggesting that the two children should take one for themselves. He watched, awaiting for the duo to take one but they weren't worried about food. "Alright. I guess we should begin. But, is there anything specific you want to know first?"

Taifū grabbed a breadroll for himself, but Kazumi did not. "It's up to her." Taifū said taking a bite of the roll. "I guess the beginning of the clan would be a good start." Kazumi said, glancing over to Taifū enjoying his roll.

"The beginning of the clan. Well, that's an interesting start. I guess I'll start with the very beginning then..", Sannoto said as he took another bite of his roll. "I don't suppose you two know of the, do you?"

"Yeah, Yoshitsune set it as a history course in the Gingagakure Academy. He wants us to know the origins of shinobi and such." Kazumi said, reaching to grab a roll as Taifū finished his.

"Alright. Then you should know that he two children, and each child have separate, unique abilities. The Elder Son was born with unique eyes and inherited the Sage's spiritual energy, as opposed to the Younger Son who was born with a unique body and he inherited the Sage's physical energy. As you can see, the two brothers were exact opposite. However, it wasn't only in power but also in personality. The Elder child believed power was the key to peace, while the younger child believed that love was the key to peace. Believing that love was the key, the Sage chose his younger son to be his successor. This caused a battle between the two brothers, to actually decide who would replace the Sage. Now, can you take a guess in who ancestor was who?"

"The older brother was the Uchiha ancestor." Taifū said as he yawned and stretched. "The younger was the Senju ancestor, as well as the Uzumaki and Shima." Kazumi said before finishing the roll she had.

"Excellent. Now more into the Senju Clan", Sannoto said as he finished his roll. "The Senju Clan had two notable ancestors, who's powers have been referred to as "fairy tales". The first person was named Tishoro Senju, who possessed a unique ability to manipulate gravitational forces. It was actually revealed that he was the great great-grandfather to the second person who's power is considered a "Fairy-tale", Hashirama Senju; my Great Grandfather. I never had the pleasure of meeting him myself, but my mother always said that his powers were vast. He had the ability to use the Wood Release, which allowed him to shape the battlefield to his liking. Even my powers pale in comparison to his", Sannoto admitted, before glancing over at Kazumi. "But since you have a general understanding of the notable members of the clan, I should probably go into detail of where our Clan's hideout is located; shouldn't I?", he inquired.

"Hide out? A hideout for what?" Kazumi asked the Senju with a confused face. Even Taifū was now intrigued by Sannoto's story.

"Hideout for our secrets. The Senju Clan are much more powerful than we're given credit for. We have secret abilities that others don't have. For example, you're Lava Release. But even some of us possess techniques that others didn't even know existed. It's a world of possibilities out there", Sannoto said, as he placed his hands on the table. "Perhaps one day I'll take you to see this hideout, but you're boyfriend couldn't go. He would get killed automatically..", the Senju claimed.

"Alright, that sounds like fun." Kazumi said, growing less nervous by the second. "Make sure Chikara would go with you." Taifū whispered to Kazumi due to how Sannoto acted earlier. Taifū looked slightly annoyed by how he would 'get killed automatically' bit from when Sannoto was talking about this hideout.

"You know.." Sannoto hesitated for a moment, "I don't plan on doing anything to your little girlfriend, she's not my type anyway", Sannoto said, suggesting that he heard the Uchiha's statement to Kazumi. "But it's a good thing your protective of her. That can come a long way, you know. Believe me, I wish I would've protected my Asami. But that's in the past, and we don't have time to dwell on those things", the blonde hair male said, attempting to get back on topic. "In fact, it's essential that you travel to this hideout one day, Kazumi. For you need to continue the family tradition.."

"What family tradition?" Kazumi asked, peaking her curiosity. Taifūū sit back, calming down a bit from Sannoto's earlier acts and the hideout security.

"Well, the Senju Clan usually record their lives down in a book; which has information back from our earliest ancestor. However, his print seems to have deteriorated after time; not to mention he wrote in some weird script, which I can't understand in the slightest. Perhaps you're the Senju we've been waiting for. The one who can understand his script..", Sannoto claimed..

"I guess I could try, Chikara could help too." Kazumi said, wondering about this book. "What do you mean by weird though?" Taifū asked the senju.

"As in weird, I mean unreadable", Sannoto responded. "The letters, simply aren't letters. Instead each letter is an animal. So for example, let's say that I decided to write the letter A. Well, it wouldn't be an A, instead it would be a cow or a horse", the Senju answered.

"A Senju did this? Your clan no longer has the right to call the Uchiha crazy." Taifū said jokingly to the Iron Release user. "There would probably be a hidden key in the book somewhere." Kazumi said, thinking of what she was just told.

Sannoto laughed at Taifū's statement, "Granted. But I do wish we could find some sort of key. However, the books are long gone if they was the case. Long ago, the Senju's hideout was attacked by members of the Uchiha Clan. That's the reason Taifū can't enter now..", the Senju said, as he took another roll and bit into it.

"Kind of wrong to judge all Uchiha passed on a few. What if some like the famous tried to enter. He had the Will of Fire just like the Senju." Taifū said, annoyed at the recently learned fact.

"The issue isn't the fact that he was an Uchiha, however it would be because he doesn't possess any Senju Blood, which is what you need to enter. Potentially, we could have you enter if we drenched you in the blood of a Senju, but you wouldn't want that, would you?", Sannoto asked.

"Not particularly." Taifū said, skin crawling at the thought of being covered in blood for the sole purpose of entering a building. "How would on be able to translate the books if they were long gone though?" Kazumi asked, confused by what Sannoto was saying.

"That's the interesting part, my child", Sannoto said, as he stood from the table and walked over to his pack, where he pulled out a brown piece of paper. "On this paper is a prophecy, which was written by one of our own clan members. He was a blind man, but he could see the future. Anyway, on this paper it states that a lost distant member of our clan would one day see the book, in their dreams. We didn't understand what he was talking about at first, but now I think I do. Kazumi, you may be that person..", Sannoto said, handing her the brown piece of paper.

"B-But why me? Chikara or grandpa Katame would make more sense, they are direct heirs of the Shima, I'd only be in command if he died since he has no children and Hōseki wouldn't be allowed because she is only adopted into the clan." Kazumi said, not liking this weight being put on her shoulders.

"Well, he referred to the distant clan member as a she. So, unless your grandfather of Chikara are hermaphroditic than I would assume he isn't referring to them", Sannoto chuckled, looking over at Kazumi, his eyes meeting hers. His stare was intense. "Kazumi...Don't worry about anything. The dream will come naturally, I promise..", Sannoto reassured, hoping to soothe the young Shima.

"But..." Kazumi trailed off, accepting this as her fate. She took the brown piece of paper from Sannoto and looked at it. Taifū put his arm around his teammate to comfort her. "I'll be here, don't worry Kazumi." Taifū said with a smile.

The Senju smiled and wrapped his arms around Taifū in a goofy manner and imitated his voice. "I'll be there too, don't you guys worry", he said, attempting imitate the Uchiha's voice, somewhat teasing him.

Using his Shikotsumyaku to increase the density of his skull, Taifū slammed his forehead into Sannoto's, using the increased density of his skull to maket he headbutt hurt more before pushing the senju off him.

"Ouch!!", Sannoto shrieked as he grabbed his forehead. "That really hurt! What was that for?!", the Senju yelled, a little angered at Taifū. His face was red from the anger he was feeling.

"Because your annoying." Taifū, barely even degnifying the Senju with a response. Seeing this Kazumi giggled a little at he placed the brown slip of paper into her pocket.

Due to his calm nature, Sannoto's face returned to it's original color and his anger had disappeared. "Alright, I guess I did deserve that..", he said, chuckling a bit. "Not like I can make you think other wise. You were always a little hard headed!", Sannoto yelled, attempting to make a hilarious pun. His attempt was unsuccessful.

"Sannoto... crickets would not even waste energy to chirp at that thing you call a joke." Taifū said looking completely serious, earning Kazumi's true laughter.

"Ah, you kids just don't have any sense of humor. That's all", Sannoto said, honestly believing every word he said himself. "Anyway, we should really get going. We don't want your father storming after me..", he stated, opening the door to the room and signaling the two to come out. "Unless, you two want to stay of course? We could have fun, just with the three of us.."

As soon as Sannoto finished that sentence, Taifū grabbed Kazumi's hand and bolted out the door with her in tow shouting down the hall something along the lines of 'pervert' and 'Second Coming of Jiraiya' before turing the corner out of the hall and Sannoto's line of sight.

The Senju grinned and walked back into his room, shutting the door behind him. "And that's how you clear a room", he said to himself as he looked over at a bed. "Now, I can finally get some sleep.." With that, Sannoto laid down on the bed and rolled over on his side, eventually closing his eyes and drifting off into dream land.

Yoshitsune began to walk towards Sannoto's room to see if he was done talking to the two chūnin were done talking to Sannoto but ended up being tackled Taifū and Kazumi. "How did it go?" Yoshitsune asked as he got up and proceeded helped up Taifū and Kazumi. "Sannoto is wierd." Taifū said, remembering his last remark. "Apparantly I have to decode an old Senju text as a prophecy says a female in a clan related to the Senju will do it. Sannoto says it is me." Kazumi said, pulling out the brown paper. "Agreed Taifū. That is impressive Kazumi, Chikara always said he believed you would do great things." Yoshitsune said, making Kazumi smile at Chikara's praise.

After the Meeting
Suddenly, Sannoto came running down the hallway without wearing any shoes. "Hey guys!", he said, seemingly in a hurry. Moments later, a red haired women came following after him screaming at the top of her lungs, "Sannoto! Get back here!". What had the Senju done now? Taifū stuck his leg out and tripped Sannoto.

Sannoto hit the wooden floor face first, but that wasn't going to stop him. Panicking at the moment, the Senju began crawling but soon was forced back the floor by the red haired woman's foot. "Thought you could get away, huh?!", she interrogated. The Senju attempted to get up, but to no avail. "Uh, sweetie! Let's calm down, please?", he pleaded, hoping to soothe the wrath of this woman. "Oh, no! I will not calm down! How about you calm down?! You could've told me that you were leaving to participate in some game, but nooo", Asami nagged, as she lifted her foot in the air and sent it crashing into the Senju's body directly afterwards.

"This lady is cool." Taifū said, laughing at Sannoto's pain. "I like her too." Kazumi jokingly said with a smile. Yoshitsune nodded in agreement with both of them.

"A little help, Yoshitsune?", Sannoto pleaded, before getting hit by Asami's foot once more. "Leave him out of this! This is between me and you! How about you be a man and handle this yourself, huh?!", Asami scowled, eventually releasing her foot from the man's back, allowing him to get up. "You're lucky that I'm in a good mood, but I expect something for my generosity in return..", the red-haired female commanded before marching off in the other direction. After she had departed from the scene, Sannoto glared down at Taifū. "Thanks a lot, kid.." "Glad I could help." Taifū said with a devious grin.
