Naruto: The Untold Legacy [First Arc/Started/Accepting Via OOC Thread/ADV/PG-16/IC]

[ANBU]

[spoiler=[b]OOC[/b]] the clones was a full clone, physical until hit with force, therefore it had used the technique of Shado's to move at high speed through his kekkei Genkei but this had quickly weakned it as it neared the village (I've added why the energy was quickly draining in the post to show)

 

 

Daku looks over at Sen seeing Seiryu continously attacking the ground next to her, "Sen, get back, gather yourself I should be able to hold it back for a little while" he says looking towards Seiryu. Daku throws an explosive Kunai at the hole in the ground where the creature had just struck before looking directly at it. "Shado, I should be able to handle it for now, that fight took a bit out of you, rest brother.." he whispers looking towards Seiryu a slight anger present on his face. Daku then Activates His Lightning Release Armor before starting to run towards Seiryu throwing the remainder of his Kunais and Shuriken in an array so that if it dodged the explosive a couple of these would most likely hit it, all charged slightly with electricity. Shado then jumps back into a tree laying on the trunk whilst on his back so he could watch the fight "lets see if he was paying any attention when I showed him how to take the stronger Opponenent's out" he thinks bafore starting to rest his eyes closed slightly.

[Hotaru987]

Sen glanced at Daku and nodded jumping out of the way, and instantly collasped onto the ground once she didn't have to fight. I owe Daku-san for taking over for me. Sen thought then looked over at Shuuhei who was being held down by Beast Path. At this point I wouldn't be able to help him. I'd be in the way if I go over there now....I just need to regain most of my chakra...At least enough to re activate me Kekkei Genkai.

[ryuujinn]

Seiryu glanced towards the set of kunai heading towards him and waved his hands, producing a strong current of wind. It blew away the sets of kunai back towards Daku, and if the exploding tags were real, they would explode near him instead. Seiryu has a serious look on his face. Something was worrying him, and it wasn't Beast Path. He glanced towards Shuuhei. Something was not right. Why isn't the Akatsuki resisting Beast Path? It was then that he saw Shuuhei using only one hand to perform a familiar looking seal behind the line of sight of Beast Path. It was the same set of seals Beast Path used to summon Seiryu.

 

"Impossible!" Seiryu roared, swiping out Sen before heading towards Shuuhei with full speed. He punched Beast Path out of the way, much to the surprise of the Council member.

 

Shuuhei was now flying in the air. He has nearly finished his seals, and is now taking out a piece of scroll, the same scroll he used when Sen and him were in Amegakure. He dabbed his fingers on the blood gushing down his forehead, then smearing it on the face of the scroll. Seiryu's eyes widened as he saw a poof of smoke appear from the scroll. He wasn't expecting the turn of events.

 

"Summoning Guardian of the Northern Winds Technique!" Shuuhei shouted.

 

From within the cloud of smoke, a flash of light suddenly erupted, hitting Seiryu squarely on the stomach. The flash of light then flipped and landed in front of Sen, clutching an unconscious Shuuhei. He flung Shuuhei towards Sen, hoping that she's strong enough to catch him. He then gave Sen a familiar wink. It was Byakko, the white tiger who sealed Sen's Kekkei Genkai in Amegakure.

 

"You look a little better, kid. Take care of Shuuhei for a while. He's used up all his chakras to summon me. Let me take care of this feisty dragon." Byakko remarked, blowing some smoke from his pipe.

 

Seiryu gave Byakko a stunned look, as if he wasn't expecting the tiger to show up. He stood up gradually from the ground, clutching his mid section.

 

"Damn.. You.. Byakko! You really don't know how to mind your own business." Seiryu roared, charging at Byakko and launching an array of punches and kicks.

 

"I came to say hi, and to tell you not to pick on this younglings." Byakko grinned, exposing a set of fangs. He blocked each and every punch and kick Seiryu threw at him, while launching his own counter attacks.

 

The two were evenly matched. Their movements were already a blur, and is impossible to follow without a sharingan. Shockwaves of energy were flying from them, destroying the ground underneath them, and forming a small crater. It was clear how Seiryu and Byakko were two strong summons, both clearly at the peak of their game.

 

Meanwhile, Beast Path was also stunned at what Seiryu did to him. It was uncalled for, and definitely an atrocity towards him. He was also surprised at the sudden appearance of Byakko, who seemed familiar with. Beast Path stood up quickly, and noticed Daku and Sen standing on the other side.

 

"You are mine! GRRR!" Beast Path growled angrily, pointing a finger towards the Akatsukis opposite his direction.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Kusabe frowned a little bit at Reinako. He's not too comfortable talking with her, and definitely not going to enjoy any talk with a foreign ninja. However, it was the Hokage's order, and therefore, he cannot disobey. He would have to suck his pride up, and perform his duty. He rounded towards Reinako and gave her a very obvious forced smile, which was looking extremely awkward.

 

"Ah. Yes. We are not close friends, that's for sure. So let's just talk inside. A tea would be good too." Kusabe said, opening the door with the touch of his hand.

 

He quickly made his way around the room, inspecting for any bugs or surveillance devices inside, then proceeded to watching the windows, looking for any signs of attackers and possible traps. He also took note of several exits from the inside, and possible blind spots. Once he determined the room safe, he took a seat on the most secured position he could find, the corner of the room.

 

"I'll have tea. And don't try to poison me. Poison do not work against me." Kusabe said sternly, giving Reinako a slight glare, before forcing himself to smile again. He waited for Reinako to start the conversation. After all, he's not really the sociable type.

[ANBU]

Shado's Eyes flick open as the Beast Path says this, it bringing him out of his rest hearing the voice angrily he jumps from the tree his body charged with electricity. Shado land right infront of the tree, half of his eyes almost covered in Lightning as he then runs appearing infront of Daku and Sen within not more than a couple seconds as he looks up at the Beast Path. The anger obvious on his face and seemed to be the only thing keeping him from being slowed by the amount of difficulty he faced in his last fight as he looks up at the Beast Path. "You will not touch Daku" he says coldly before starting to run at the Beast Path, using the true speed of his Lightning Enhancement appearing just a couple feet from him within seconds before jumping Electricity covering his body as he flips, Attempting to heel kick the Beast Path. Daku falls down as he sees this only having just felt a push that Shado gave when he appeared infront of him and Sen, seeing the anger in Shado's eyes now much more than that when he was in the Mist Village "He's not going to seriously going to Explode this guy is he??!" Daku thinks before scrambling to his feet and grabbing Shuuhei from Sen's hands, Daku's eyes showing fear, as he then holds him over his shoulder, as he starts to run, grabbing Sen's hand as his Lightning Release Armor turns off looking towards the tree Shado came from an 'X' drawn there. "If he misses with what he's going to do and I think he seriously is going to do it, the look in his eyes and the use of the true speed of Lightning, If it hits us when he uses it instead of his target It could possibly finish us.., Shuuhei is out cold so he wouldn't be able to save himself from it anyway...". Daku then looks at the trees, getting closer to the tree line as he looks remembering the way to the cave.

 

[spoiler=[b]OOC[/b]] At this speed Shado will have to rest every 2 posts..

 

[Hotaru987]

Sen caught Shuuhei with a grunt, relieved that her senpai was no longer in harms way. "Thanks Byyako." She muttered still trying to manipulate Shuuhei's body into a more comfortabl position for the both of them. She finally settled and looked up to watch the battle between Byyako and Seiryu. Suddenly Shado came from the trees and appeared in fron of her, Daku, and Shuuhei when Beast Path declared an attack.

 

Next thing she knew was that Daku tossed Shuuhei over his shoulder, grabbed her hand and took off into the forest. Her legs screamed in protest, but she didn't want to be dragged to where ever so she continued running, being pulled along by Daku. "Daku-san! Where the hell are we going!?" She yelled eyeing the way he was carring Shuuhei. She didn't want him to be hurt any more than his is.

 

=======================

 

As soon as Kusabe went into the room she dropped her smile, and glared at nothing in prticular biting the inside of her cheek. It's a good thing Kaito is asleep. I don't even wanna know what kind of trouble he would start with Kusabe. Reinako thought walking into the room closing the door with a soft snap behind her.

 

When she came in she saw Kusabe sitting down in the corner. She smiled politely towards him, as he made a comment about his tea. "Please me, poison you? Unthinkable." She said sarcastically walking over to the miniture kitchen to make some tea.

 

Reinako handed him his tea before sitting down on the chair in the middle of the room. Reinako fetl awkward in the room with Kusabe. He was so quite, and it was obvious his sociable skills were close to none. "So Kusabe-san," Reinako started a light smile on her face, "How long have you been working with the Hokage-sama? It must've been a long while, he seems to put a lot of trust in you."

 

She sipped the tea before looking at Kusabe, "Are you going to taste it?" She asked motioning towards the tea in his hand. "Although...I've never been good at making tea...So if the posion doesn't do you in, then the taste might." She laughed glancing at Kusabe and smiled, "It's a joke. The posion part anyway."

[ryuujinn]

Kusabe gave Reinako a heavy glare. He doesn't take jokes likely, much less jokes regarding killing attempts. He picked up the cup with a grunt, sipping mildly, like an ounce of water, before putting it back down, staring at Reinako. There's something about Kusabe that makes you want to not stay in the same room as he is, especially when he doesn't like you. Its like he's liable to suddenly start stabbing people. Nevertheless, he cleared his throat, and gave Reinako another obviously forced smile.

 

"I've been working for Hokage-sama ever since I can remember. And yes, he trusts me. That is why I cannot fail that trust. You, on the other hand," Kusabe tasted the tea again, "I will blatantly say this again. I have no confidence nor trust in you, at least not just yet."

 

Kusabe stood up and paced around the room slowly, observing the walls, the windows, and the door. His eyes were quickly looking for details. He's always too uptight, always worrying whether someone's going to come barging in and kill him on sight. He quickly bit his thumb, and performed several hand seals, ending it with smearing his blood on the floor.

 

"Summoning Technique!" Kusabe exclaimed.

 

A puff of smoke appeared in front of him, and immediately de-materialized, revealing a German Shepherd dog wearing a Konoha forehead protector on its neck. Its body has several seals around them. It sniffed the air and stared at Kusabe.

 

"What is it, Ichisuke?" the nin-dog asked.

 

"Saiga, scan this room and the entire building for any anomaly. Go back here when you're done, as soon as possible." Kusabe ordered, giving Reinako another silent glare before sitting back.

 

Saig did a quick nod before disappearing once again. Kusabe looked satisfied then rounded back towards Reinako, taking another slight sip of the tea. He was giving her a cold stare now, and was eyeing her more carefully.

 

"You, girl. What do you know about Hokage-sama?" Kusabe suddenly asked, breaking the silence once again.

 

----------------------------------------------------

 

Beast Path easily matched Shado's attack with his own, blocking the heel kick with a full roundhouse, his foot connecting with Shado's heel. He gave a slight growl as he felt the sting of the lightning crawling towards his body, but he immediately shook away the feeling, focusing on Shado.

 

"So you want a fight? GRRR. Fine! Your comrades can wait. I will rip you first!" Beast Path growled.

 

He removed his rain coat, and this time, he exposed what looked like an extremely muscular body that seemed to have belonged to a werewolf. His furs are gray and there are bandages covering several portion of his body, just like any other Council of Six members. He also removed what looked like weights from his arms and his foot, tossing them aside. As the weights touched the ground, they exploded with sheer force, suggesting that the weights were extremely heavy, or at least heavy enough to create a medium sized crater, the size of a two storey house.

 

Beast Path then dug a paw on the ground, focusing energy to his left foot, before moving sideways, disappearing in a blur. His speed has multiplied ten fold, more than enough to match Shado's speed. Its as if Beast Path has unlocked 6 gates already in his body. His movements was causing the ground to explode whenever his foot connects with the earth.

 

"I'll show you what feral speed means. Rrrrrrrrr!" Beast Path growled, appearing behind Shado, crouching low.

 

He then pressed two palms on ground, and kicked upwards, aiming for Shado's back, fainting into a low sweeping kick immediately. It was even faster than the Speed in which Shado attacked Beast Path earlier. It was truly a battle of the fastest.

 

Meanwhile, Byakko was still going at it with Seiryu. By now, the two summons looked already worn out. Both has sustained damages and were panting extremely hard. Byakko looked more composed, however, as he deflected another attack made by Seiryu, landing a counter kick towards his opponent's jaw.

 

"Shuuhei, why the hell did you have to feint right now? I could use that lightning of yours." Byakko remarked as he dodged another attack from Seiryu.

[Hotaru987]

Reinako put her tea to her mouth, and watched in silence as Kusabe summoned a nin dog to survey the area. She could only shake her head and stared of into space as she retreated to her thoughts. Out of all the people Hokage-sama could've chosen to come along on the mission it had to be someone like Kusabe. He's so....Quiet, it's unnerving. Beggers can't be choosers, and at least he's making some effort to talk. She looked at Kusabe and noticed he still was glaring at her, Ok, maybe not.

 

Reinako glanced at Kusabe when he asked a question, regrding her with a cold expression. At least it's not a glare.

 

"First of all, my name isn't girl. It's Reinako Hyuuga and I refuse to answer to "you, girl." So how about you try that sentence again, and I'll see about answering your question, boy." Reinako said all of this with a tight smile obviously ticked off with how he adressed her.

[ryuujinn]

Kusabe looked rather disgruntled at the way Reinako addressed his question. He wasn't use to be talked like that, seeing as the only one higher than him is the Hokage himself. If Reinako were to belong under him, he would've silenced her without another word, but Uchiha Shuuto's orders were for him to have a talk with Reinako, something he somewhat didn't like.

 

"Fine. Whatever." Kusabe replied, looking extremely annoyed. "Hyuuga, what do you know about hokage-sama?"

 

Kusabe looked extremely annoyed now. There were creases around his forehead, and his eyes were glaring at Reinako every now and then, before staring at her coldly. Twice has he pinched himself to stop his hands from going after his kunai, and go after Reinako. Talking is not one of his best traits, much less talking with a foreign ninja who he doesn't trust.

 

"And by the way, its Kusabe to you, not boy." Kusabe retorded irritatingly, tapping a finger on the table impatiently.

[Hotaru987]

Reinako pushed the cup of tea to her mouth in order not to say what was on her mind, and boy did she have a thing or two to say to Kusabe. He was making it so hard to stay polite when all she wanted to do was gouge his eyes out. Reinako noticed he was also restraining himself from jumping at her, and that only made her angrier. She took a few calming breathes before answering his question.

 

"Well, Kusabe, the only thing I know about Hokage-sama, is what Hyuuga-dono has told me. Which by the way wasn't much. I know that he, along with Hyuuga-dono, work together as the two key peace keepers between the Kages, and that they have a history together. Although Im not exactly sure what that is." She paused for a few minutes before continuing, "Everything else I know about him is general knowladge."

 

Reinako opened her mouth to say something else but decided against it, choosing a different question. "Do you really believe that we are here with some type of hidden agenda that involves Hokage-sama? Or are you always this...uh...weary of ninjas that are alien to you?" She was going to say 'Obsessed with' but 'weary' sounded much better.

[ANBU]

Shado gets hit in the leg as he comes down, expecting such as he saw the beast path dissappear. "you know, if you were truly the strongest you may have noticed this but now, hehe I've got an Advantage" he says, his voice slightly back to normal and sounding as if mocking. Shado then throws an explosive kunai straight up so that it would narrowly miss the beast paths face then spinning standing back up as he then jumps back, running behind the treeline. "If he falls for this it will be too late for him" he says a lightning Release Shadow Clone appearing and running towards the Beast Path as Shado sits against the tree waiting for the satisfying show effect that his clone would produce leaving him just enough time to launch the Beast Path if he could time it right, hoping he could as he closes his eyes, waiting for a sound. Daku lands a part of the forest cleared, a pathway of dirt leading into a nearby cave, "the cave, It will be the only part of the Forest that he will not destroy even if he misses his chance now that one will not survive.. at the same time I fear for Shado's survival the only time i've seen him angry like this was the first day he left.. He is even more reckless than he was then and might try something that could get him..". Daku then trns layinmg Shuuhei down carefully against the cave as he enters it the look on his face grim as he walks through the the back of the cave sitting down as he looks towards the roof of it, then closing his eyes.

[Hotaru987]

As soon as they stopped at the cave and Daku put Shuuhei down, Sen went over to him to see if he was ok. Shuuhei was still out cold, and was still recooperating from summoning Byyako. "I wonder if he..." She carefully searched his robes to find that balm he keeps with him. "Come on...Where is it." She mumbled still searching his robes, ignoring the pain shooting through her small frame. Sen smiled widely when she grabbed it, but then frowned when she saw it was half empty. This must've been the one that he used on her earlier.

 

She didn't know if he had anymore on him, but decided she'd just have to use what she found. Sen dipped her hand in it and administered the balm the same way he did to her. "I hope I did it right..." She said removing her cloak to use as a rest for his head. "There ya go Shuuhei-senpai, all comfy." She smiled, before looking over herself wincing at how her skin looked.

[ryuujinn]

Kusabe raised an eyebrow towards Reinako. He was rather taken aback by her last question. To be honest, there were few people in the world who can take him by surprise in terms of question, and Reinako just did that. He stood up and paced the room, making sure no one was going to just suddenly barge inside unnoticed. He tapped a foot impatiently on the ground, waiting for something.

 

"All clear, Ichisuke." Saiga said, appearing suddenly from out of nowhere.

 

Kusabe gave a brief nod before rounding back towards Reinako. He has a colder gaze present around his eyes, and his body language suggest that he's still tensed and not relaxing. He still has a level of distrust with regards to Reinako.

 

"If it makes you feel better, Yes. I do feel each and every foreign ninja that comes within 10 meters of the Hokage has a hidden agenda. And no, I am not obsessed with you lot. I am simply trying to avoid anything bad happening to him." Kusabe said bitterly, giving Reinako a shot of cold stare.

[Hotaru987]

Reinako placed her empty tea cup down and smiled at Kusabe completely ignoring the cold look her sported. "I see.....You know you remind me of the Main Branch of the Hyuuga clan. You stand there looking at me with those same eyes. Distrust, hatered...Do you think they trust us? The ones from the side branch?" She laughed coldly, glaring angrily at the wall in front of her. "Of course not, if they did then they wouldn't have felt the need to curse us all with this damn jutsu. Every single one of them holds our lives in their hands, and without any effort they could kill off even the strongest of the Side Branch. They wouldn't care as long as their precious Main Branch is safe."

 

She waited a while before smiling calmly at him once again, "If I were to do anything wrong, they could kill me before I take another breathe. As much as I value the lives of our great Kages, I also value my own. It would be foolish of me to throw it away at an attempt on Hokage-sama's life."

 

"I cannot die right now. Not until my promise is fufilled." She said to herself, mindlessly playing with her empty tea cup. Without looking up at Kusabe she asked, "Would you like to continue this talk, or are we done for the night?.....It's getting quite late and I am tired..."

[ryuujinn]

Kusabe was taken aback by the reply from Reinako. He never anticipated her to say something like that. His eyes stared back at her with a higher level of curiosity, giving her a calculating gaze. Kusabe has met a lot of people before, and knew when someone is lying to him immediately. Unfortunately for him, he could find no traces of those in Reinako's answer. Perhaps he was wrong about the ninja. Perhaps. He needed more than a few touchy words to be swayed. But at least he will give her a chance.

 

"Alright. Go rest. I've had it with these conversations anyway." Kusabe said, making his way to the door and opening it quietly. "If you're late tomorrow, I'll kick you and that boy out."

 

He closed the door rather quietly too, which was a surprise, because anyone would've been sure he would slam it in disgust. However he didn't. Instead, Kusabe closed the door quietly, and stood there, facing the wall opposite the door.

 

Hmm. Whatever. Kusabe said, smiling a little, before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

 

---------------------------------------------------

 

Shuuhei coughed a lot before finally waking up. The first thing he saw was an earthen ceiling of some cave. He quickly tried to stand up, but a shot of pain suddenly erupted from his chest. He remembered being in a fight, and then it hit him. He scrambled towards the edge of the cave, towards the entrance, and looked over at the horizon. He remembered summoning Byakko. He gazed around and saw Sen along with Daku. Shado nor Zenosuke were nowhere to be seen. His stomach gave a lurching feeling.

 

"Where are the others? What happened?" Shuuhei asked, clutching his midsection. He was in pain, but he was alive.

 

Meanwhile Beast Path was still fighting with Shado. When Shado threw out the explosive kunai, Beast Path was already a blur. He disappeared already from his spot, and was now going towards Shado's lightning clone head on. He was fast, and his steps were explosive. The earth around them was already cracked and battered, mainly from Beast Path moving around. He approached the clone, and punched the earth in front of it, causing massive debris of earth to hit the clone squarely on the stomach.

 

"Is this it? Rrrrrr! If you're going to fight with clones, you're wasting your time!" Beast Path growled angrily, kicking the ground beneath him, causing a small crater to form around him.

[Hotaru987]

Sen looked worriedly at Shuuhei before slowly answering his question. "Well...Shado-senpai was fighting the Beast Path when we left, and Byakko was fighting Seiryu. As for Zenosuke-sama, we haven't heard of him since the fight began." She began figiting, "As for what happened....After you summoned Byakko, you collasped so Byakko entrusted me to take care of you until you got better.

 

"However, even though Sieryu was occupied, the Beast Path wasn't. Thankfully, Daku-san intercepted him and bought us some time. Soon Shado-senpai took over fighting Beast Path for Daku-san...Um...Daku-san, said something about Shado-senpai using some type of technique and said we had to get away otherwise we'd be caught in the blast. So he took us here."

 

Sen looked up at the celing in thought, "Thats it....But are you sure you should be up. You hardly rested Shuuhei-senpai..."

 

=====================

 

Reinako didn't know how long she sat there unmoving, before she let out a heavy sigh. "That went much better that I thought it would. I was expecting an all out fight." She laid on the couch, taking up the entire space, and closed her eyes. "I let him get to me....I can't let that happen again. I gotta play it calm, cool, and collected..."

 

Before she knew it she had fallen asleep on the couch, unaware of what was to happen tomorrow.

[ANBU]

Shado then launches himself into the air, an Explosive tag laying where the Clone had stood which would have been noticed by the Beast Path if not for his anger at the use of clones "now for the finishing move". "If you think my use of clones is so weak how about you see through my strategy, or atleast try to find where I could hide stuff.." he says slowly before starting to run. the Explosive Tag Ignites as Shado jumps, aiming to hit the Beast Path with a boot to the mouth after the explosion to launch him higher than the Explosive tag would. "he fell for it.. now if I can get him he should be done for" Shado says looking down at the Beast Path, Feinting that he was going to use Chidori and fly down to try to take his attention whilst he readies the boot. Daku turns from the cave and walks out towards Shuuhei and Sen, "I'm sorry Shuuhei-Senpai but if you stayed there, if we stayed there and he misses his aim of we might have been caught". Daku then turns slightly back towards the cave before sitting "and the anger that was shown on his face, well I doubt he'll leave without atleast one Explosion, that anger was similar to when he left but he was much more reckless in how he started" Daku says, a sadness apparent in his voice before he looks into the cave further.

[ryuujinn]

Beast Path was surprised when he saw the explosive tag on the ground near him. There was less than split second for him to evade, which he did, but he was still hit by the resulting shockwave, plummeting him to the air. He was launched more than 15 feet into the air, his eyes closed and his body quivering in the air. The shockwave got him good, and he was not able to anticipate the explosive tag being on the ground. Had he been in his full strength, he would've easily waved aside the explosion, but he was already near his limits. Summoning one of the guardians, Seiryu, costed him a lot.

 

Meanwhile, Shuuhei listened intently to Sen and Daku's explanations. Indeed, Byakko should be fine holding his own. After all, he's one of the 4 guardian summons in existence. However, he worries about Shado's decision of fighting Beast Path one on one. Members of the Council of Six are strong, and he's seen only three of them appear so far. The other three has not yet shown themselves, especially the genjutsu expert, Ashura Path.

 

"We must go b------ Ugh!" Shuuhei said, trying to stand up only to fall down in pain. He was clutching his abdomen again. From the looks of it, he took more damage than he was letting on. He probably broke a rib or two from the encounter earlier. He was also coughing blood from his mouth, splattering the ground he was lying on with crimson blood.

[ANBU]

[spoiler=[b]OOC[/b]] As Beast Path was still launched into the air from the Explosion, especially near his limits, he would have had little or no chance of dodging the incoming boot

Shado looks at the Beast Path seeing it's Suprise as he smirked slightly before spinning around. "and up you go" he then says his voice still mocking as he flips backwards before using the momentum to plant his boot square in the Jaw of the Beast Path to send him further up. Shado then hits the ground on his back as his speed dissipates the Lightning going from his eyes. Lightning begins to geather areound him as it pushes it's way through to his hands slowly but surely covering them for the Attack which he hoped would end the Beast Path aas it would take too much of his chakra to do much more in battle with him. Daku turns looking towards Shuuhei, the sadness in his eyes turning to shock for half a second before going back to normal as he noticed the Injuries Shuuhei had took. "Sen, Go try to find the closest Village with any Medical Nin, bring their Medical Supplies and try to get one of the Med Nin to come with you, as for you Shuuhei-Senpai you must rest, we are not going to go back out into that battle. Especially with the damage it looks like you've took already" he says his voice sounding calm yet his eyes showing that he was easily not calm but still sad for Shado having returned to the porevious look after Seeing the Damage Shuuhei had took. Daku then sits next to Shuuhei, to make sure he didn't try to get up again.

[Hotaru987]

As soon as Shuuhei sunk to the ground in pain, Sen was instantly by his side asking if he was ok. She then heard Daku's order and frowned lightly. "But Daku-san....The hideout was in the middle of nowhere.....If there is a village closeby then it'll be atleast two days away." She said softly not talking very loud.

 

"Even still, we're the akatsuki. What medical nin would come willingly to help one of us? I am in no condition to fight, and if I use my Kekkei Genkai again, there's no doubt I would instantly lose control and self distruct...I can't contain the lightening right now.....Besides last time I want into a village and got caught Zenosuke-sama was very angry with me." She said still looking at Shuuhei through worried and tired eyes.

[ANBU]

Daku looks at her before standing, his stance that uncertain to read, "Make sure he Stays there, try to stop any bleeding that you can, and the Medical Nin doesn't need to come willingly they just need to be able to heal Shuuhei Senpai. Chack the cave I think I hve enough Medical Supplies to keep him well until I get back, oh and If he triess to get up there's a Scroll above the doorway, a Little Failsafe I made on the cave, It'll Make a Large net Spread over around, It may stop you from moving if you aren't inside the cave but it should stop him from moving. Daku then Activates his Lightning Release Armor, his skin turning slightly darker from the amount of times the Electricity covered his body in that one day but he used it just for the slight Increase of Speed. "I'll be back in about 3 Days, and I'll have a Medical Nin.. Not sure If I'll Bring them conscious but I know I'll have one, just try to keep the cave safe and bring him inside, the Net also blocks the Doorway from escape.. If a Fire Starts there should be some water in the back just keep him As Still as you can" he says before turning. "well Shado always said the Leaf Village was over that way, I guess I better start then.." he says before starting to run in the Direction he was facing then jumping into a nearby tree to go through the trees.

I know. Beast Path wouldn't be able to evade any attack by that time because he was already sent flying to the air, and the fact that his wits was not with him. :D

 

 

Beast Path gave a massive 'Oof!' as he got hit by Shado's boot squarely on the jaw. His eyes was now rolling to the back of his head, his consciousness fading. But even before that, his body was already starting blur in and out of existence. It was the same as what happened with Human Path earlier. He was being visited by Expiration. Blood was now gushing out of his left and right arm, and seals started to appear on his body. He was already lifeless. After a few moments, he plummeted towards the ground, falling in free fall directly towards the solid earth near Shado.

 

"Beast Path and Human Path were both terminated? How so?" A voice spoke from the shadows. It was whispering, which made it impossible to be heard by anyone.

 

"Expiration has visited them. Beast Path was a fool. He shouldn't have summoned Seiryu, and opened the Gate of Limit at the same time. That was literally asking for Expiration to come and visit any of us. Too much Chakra released in one go. Tsk." another voice whispered back silently. "Human Path was a fool too. He used his Decaying World Technique for too long. He was practically using it ever since we left the hideout in the Land of Iron. I don't know if he's stupid or all his brain cells decayed from his technique."

 

"Hmm. Should we go help Beast Path now, Hell Path?" the first voice whispered back.

 

"Not yet. We watch what happens first, Hungry Ghost Path. We must be cautious. Deva Path's absence is alarming. He should've dealt with Zenosuke now." Hell Path hissed silently.

 

Both of them were well hidden in the shadows of the trees around the battlefield. They were both waiting for the right time to strike.

 

It was nearly dawn.

 

Meanwhile, Shuuhei was still insisting on trying to stand up. He was now using his sword as support, and while clutching his abdomen, started to move towards the mouth of the cave. He was coughing severely now, blood was escaping his mouth at every cough. He kept staggering, but he needed to get back and warn Shado. Beast Path isn't one to be defeated slightly, not when the Hungry Ghost was around. He remembered what Zenosuke had to do to defeat the two, and it wasn't pretty. The Akatsuki leader had to sacrifice an arm and a leg, literally, just so he could seal the two with his Judgement Chain Seal.

 

"Move it Sen! I need to help Shado!" Shuuhei shouted angrily, trying to shove Sen aside with an arm.

Shado looks up at the body, seeing the Blood that flowed from the Right and Left arm his Electric Chakra spreads back into him, knowing that he didn't hit either of those parts. Shado then Jumps up then falling at equal height to the body,seeing it having appeared as the Human Path had. "hmm.. I think he's dead, or he could be feigning, I'll just let him lie down here for a while" he thinks as they hit the ground, him landing on his feet perfectly. "now for Daku.. where would he have gone.. I know.." he thinks before turning towards the Cave and starting to run, jumping through the trees, his Speed Increasing again as he pushes his body before landing infront of the cave. Shado sees Shuuhei in his weakened condition trying to push Sen out of the way. "Shuuhei.. you don't seem like you should be up.. do you Know where Daku is?" he asks soflty before walking over and getting sen back into the cave and onto the Makeshift bed, having easily noticed the signs that he had been injured. Shado then sits, resting after the Battle he had with the Beast Path.. waiting for Shuuhei's Answer".

"You! Did you kill them? Did you defeated Beast Path and his brother, Hungry Ghost Path?" Shuuhei quickly asked Shado as he sat down.

 

By now, Shuuhei was already calming down. Seeing Shadow back somehow gave him relief. Now, at least, the Akatsuki are safe. Zenosuke can surely handle himself in a one on one fight with Deva, that much Shuuhei is sure. He was waiting for Shado's reply, hoping that it would be what he wanted to hear, that Beast Path and Hungry Ghost Path were both dead.

 

Meanwhile, Beast Path was still lying on the ground. The impact he just received from hitting the ground in a free fall from more than 50 feet into the air would've shattered the bones of even the strongest Ninjas. Somehow, Beast Path's frame was extremely sturdy, and the ground took the full brunt of the force, producing a 4-foot crater with Beast Path in the middle.

 

From the shadows emerged a pair of eyes floated in the air. They were dark and extremely malicious. It's as if the air itself has eyes. From out of nowhere, a dark, rotting hand shot out from the empty air and grabbed Beast Path's head. By now, Beast Path has lost all his blood from his arm wounds and was really dead.

 

"Tsk. You really are careless, brother," Hungry Ghost whispered, a pair of lips appearing from thin air, "Oh well. I can't blame you. These are after all akatsuki we're dealing with."

 

He flicked his arm and threw Beast Path's body towards the silhouette of a big head, which swallowed the body whole. Hungry Ghost then went towards Human Path and did the same thing with Human Path's body.

 

"Next time, we're going to fight with them, Hell Path. I'm sick of doing nothing." Hungry Ghost remarked before disappearing into the forest once again.

Sen shook her head when Shuuhei demanded she get out of his way. "I can't do that, sorry." It wasn't long after when Shado came over and moved her out of the way and onto a makeshift bed. She didn't fight, and was too tired, and laid down on the bed. Shado asked about Daku so she answered. "He fled to the leaf village not too long ago. To retrieve a medical nin for Shuuhei-sen-" Sen was inturrupted by a coughing fit. "H-he said that there maybe some medicen in here some where. A-and I can go out and look for herbs."

[ANBU]

Shado then looks at Shuuhei as he said this, "his brother?.. I only saw the Beast Path the same thing happened to him that happened to that Human Path, you know how he just suddenly appeared dead?". Shado then looks at Sen as he hears about Daku heading towards the Hidden Leaf, "that Idiot.. he could of chose a village that didn't have any Uchihas.. the Medecine is up back, shuuhei lie down, I'll be back in about a Day if i don't collapse about a day and a half if I do" he then says steping out of the cave. "and stay in the cave.. I don't want to cme back to you having hurt yourself more by trying to fight Shuuhei.." he says before turning towards the Direction Daku had Left in Eariler. He then Pushses Electricity into his body and starts running, dissappeaaring faster then the Usual movements he made. Daku was jumping through the trees when he was suddenly moving alot faster, being held by the back of the cllar he notices that Shado had alreadyu caught up to him as they continue their movement towards the Hidden Leaf.
