Kurayami watched from a distance, her puppet hugging her back, the wood giving her a feeling of comfort. This puppet was family. Sighting Sasori, she inwardly debated on whether she should go down and assist or watch from a safe distance. The decision was made quickly- she was going to help. Silently and unseen, she made her way to Sasori, her own puppet pulling itself from her back and coming beside Sasori. A signal she was there. As she grinned loftily, her puppet extending its many arms infront of itself, long blades erupting from the arms, she came up beside Deidara and smiled. "I though I might assist. You and Sasori seem quite busy." Turning her attention back to her puppet, veins appeared around her eyes. The Akatsuki leader had not deprived her of knowledge of her clan after her first kill.
Looking to the left, she caught a chakra signature hidden behind a rock, and frowned. "It appears we have an onlooker, Sasori. Behind a rock... Odd." His chakra was evidence- he was a demon holder as well. She couldn't take him on alone, and so she remained beside the two she pledged most allegiance to. Her puppet waited upon her command, and she looked to Sasori. "Who is our target, master?"

[Rokubi]

"I'm taking care of it right now", Sasori said with a blank stare, he lunged his tail toward the boy. He then followed with a few more hundred needles from the mouth. This child did not know what he had gotten himself into, "your going to die, but first I will take that Bijuu from you". His first attack was still underway and k=now he would have to counter this on as well. He then noticed Kurayami making her way here, she had come to help and spoke of an onlooker. "Take care of this spy Kurayami, Im busy with my own prey at the moment", Sasori said with a harsh look in his eyes.


Deidara looked over at Hidan, "What a wild way to start an attack.....yeah", he said with a sigh. His focused returned to the boy, his bird of clay glided down to the ground and Deidara reached into his pocket in order to pull out three more spider shaped clay models. With the addition of chakra they grew to about the size of a cat or dog, and walked over to the boy's position. When they hit they would explode, sending the boy hurdling into the air, or so he hoped. "Aww I'm running out of clay for my art......yeah", Deidara said with sigh once again.

(sorry its kind of short, Shika gave me no time to post!)

[alianne]

Kurayami nodded. Although doubting herself, she would not disobey Sasori. She and her puppet moved behind the rock. "What have we here? A little boy?" Despite her doubts, a grin appeared very suddenly, white eyes gleaming with anticipation. "A little boy with a secret..." the words were playful whispers, her eyes laughing. And then her puppet lashed out, spinning rapidly, a tornado of blades aimed for the boy. She would not fail to carry out Sasori's orders. She would satisfy him. She had to... "I don't care how powerful you 'demons' are supposed to be. You're all the same to me. You all have blood running through your veins, and that's all I care for." Her puppet reminded her of a music box she had found in the possesions of a little girl she had killed. The token on the inside twirled and twirled and twirled, endlessly. And in her blood stained hands, it looked so amusing she had laughed. And now she laughed again. She may not have perfected her art just yet, but she enjoyed it just as much, and dreamed of the day she would accomplish the level that Sasori had reached. Although that seemed nigh on impossible, she still dreamed.
And fighting for the master's causes, the dream felt closer.

(wow this battle is getting big)

Yuan returned the cold look Hidan gave him. It was time to stop joking around and get serious. His eyes went from playful to cold in a second. They gave a look of death to his hunter. His glowing spear still faced his hunter.

Don't you dare allow them to kill you boy for if you die I die

The Shichibi told the missing ninja, Don't worry I won't lose, not as long as I your power, Yuan replied to him still watching the hunter. Part of him began to wonder why they wanted him was if for the Mist? No they didn't carry the Mist's symbol. Oh well he'll ask later. Bring on you bastard, Yuan replied with a cold voice eyes watching everything.

The missing ninja swung his spear blocking the scythe and spun it around his body bringing it in time to just barely block the kick. He pushed Hidan off his spear jumping back to the roof of the building behind him to get as far away from the scythe as possible. He didn't know what this guy could do so he felt it was best for long distance attacks.

Once he landed on the roof the air around Hidan became cold and dense. Lets see how well he can do against this, he said softly doing several hand signals causing a huge storm with shards of ice and wind the storm forming a tornado around Hidan to trap him inside. The shards of ice striking at Hidan.

[Inugami]

The shars of ice struck Hidan's flesh and he caught himself from falling. His hair fell down over his face and a wild smiled appeared on his face. He looked up with a smile and laughed into the air. "I hope you have a stronger attack than that. I LIVE FOR THIS shit!" Hidan enjoyed every moment of the pain and he then started to walk towards the boy again, swing his scythe around. "You can't dodge forever. You'll tire out and I will keep coming." Hidan then ran towards the boy leaving a purple afterphase behind him and twirled on his foot to kick him off the roof. Hidan then follwed up by launching his pike towards him instead of his scythe. The pike part of his weapon had more acuracy and was harder to dogde than his spike. His cold eyes stared at Yuan and he started to laugh again. " You don't get it you little fucker. You can't beat someone who can't die!"

[Kaguya, Zanisha]

(I'm really sorry bout not being on. wasn't able to post before then writers block for a few days. X.X BUT I"M BACK! ;D And hey, what’s Sasori’s puppet made of? Could it be firewood?)

Kohen jumped up to dodge the first set of needles. "Yuan’s right. We can take these guys." he thought confidently before feeling two arms grab him. “What the hell?” he thought before releasing a burst of blue with a hint of green chakra, causing the arms to release him.

Landing on the ground Kohen did an odd hand sign saying, “Katon Bunshin.” Doing this caused a circle of fire clones to form around him, both blocking the needles and tail from hitting him and protecting the young Jinchûriki. ‘Katon Bunsin is a Jutsu of his own creation and causes almost real clones. However, they have low chakra levels, and can't do a lot of things. In fact they can only use any fire jutsu that Kohen knows. Also their skin and clothing is burning hot, so if you punch one to make it poof or touch it in any way, then you will be badly burned.

When the Fire Clones poofed away, Kohen saw the clay spiders coming at him. “Well that’s annoying.” He thought taking a deep breath after doing a few hand signs saying, “Katon: Doragon kokyuu no Jutsu”, Sending slightly larger than fist sized balls of his signature green fire at them. However, as soon as the fire hit the spiders, the exploded, surprising the young Jinchûriki. Flying back a bit, Kohen flipped around in the air and jumped off the side of the house and flipped one more time in the air before landing on his feet. Taking a deep breath, he said, “2 things. 1. It’s not nice to make people wait for an answer. I asked you why you wanted us. And 2. I’m not going to lose to you freaks.”

That being said, Kohen made the same odd hand sign from before saying, “Katon Bunshin no Jutsu.”, causing 3 fire clones to appear around his hunters. Then at the same time, all of them used, ‘Katon: Doragon kokyuu no Jutsu’ to shoot 4 fireballs each at them. Once the did that, the now low level clones jumped up into the air and came down from above sending kicks at Sasori while Kohen made a few hands signs at lighting speed, saying, “Katon Kasui no Jutsu” before placing his hands on the ground sending a stream of the same green fire on the ground around the two of them to hopefully catch them in a circle of flame. “However,” Kohen thought knowing that what he was thinking would probably happen, “The Akatsuki member on the clay bird might fly up again. In that case I’m ready. But what I plan to do could be risky.”

[alianne]

OOC: As a note, no, all puppets have fire wards. Unless you know the puppet exactly as its user does, you can't get past it. Like the only way Sasori could get past Kankurou's poison ward was because he had created the puppets himself.
OK, I'm done...

[Kaguya, Zanisha]

(I kno this post is sort of spam. But ok. In a way that's a good thing, cause then this wouldn't be as fun. Just burning a puppet would be too easy.)

[Rokubi]

When the clay spiders blew, they blew hard. The explosion nearly leveled the restaurant that the two jinchuuriki's were once walking through, Deidara gave a slight chuckle at the effect of his own art. The four fire balls flew across the Field, Diedara quickly flew up with his bird and dodged it while sending a tiny piece of clay toward the clone that breathed fire at him. "Your clones are no match for my art.....yeah", Deidara chuckled, He prepared a special piece of clay for his next justu.

Sasori threw his tail in front of the fire, extinguishing it with the wind created by the quick impact. The little jinchuuriki clones came and jumped at Sasori with a kicks, using the tail that was already in front of him he blocked them. The metal from the tail could be heard banging against the feet, after the circle of flame appeared heading toward them Sasori jumped up revealing part of his wooden body. He took aim at what he believed to be the real Kohen and launched his left arm toward the Jinchuuriki, not to farm from the arm the notches and pike like pieces attached to the arm jettisoned in all directions except Sasori's. The notches opened up about half way and allowed thousands of needles to exert from them, sending these needles toward Kohen as well as her clones.

[Rikuda Hao]

A shocked look came on Yuan's face as he saw that his hunter enjoyed the pain. That heck is with this guy?, he thought to himself. Confused. Hidan's kick connected with the Jinchûriki. Since his mind was distracked by how Hidan just enjoyed the pain. The kick caused him to be knocked out the roof Yuan spun his body feet landing on the side of some building. Quickly he jumped to the ground just barely dodgind the second attack. You can't die!?, he said confused. Just how could now make himself immortal?

Well that was something for another time. If this guy was immortal maybe if he cut off the guy's head he would die. Hopefully. Yuan dashed at his hunter. Both hands frimly on his spear. He pretended that he was going to attack with a downward slash with the back of his spear, but he did no such thing. The end of his spear landed on the ground Yuan using it as a pullvolt to get high above Hidan. Once directly above Yuan attack using his spear with emence speed. As he attack he sent mutlible attack the spear itself looked as if it multiplied as it attacked. The is a quick slash he attempeted to cut the hunter's head off and weather or not his attack worked he jumpped back to give distance.

[Inugami]

Hidan saw his attack coming at the last second and ducked his head, barely dodging it. It took a few strands of his hair off and he watched the boy jump back away from him. Hidan looked over to Deidra while throwing his scythe over his shoulder. " Hey, since your here, try to keep this little bastard still for me.. eh??" Hidan usually didn't ask for help, but since deidra was here he might aswell. " Use your so called art to do something about all his moving. When that happens. I'll use the oppourtuinity to get the ingredients for my ritual." Hidan then turned back to his target with a smile. This boy would be the first one to see his ritul in awhile, he should be honored.


Kakuzu watched his fellow Akatsuki members take care of the boys jutsu's. Kakuzu took this to his advntage and ran swiftly out of harms way. He then pivoted on his right foot to spin aroud a few times before stopping behind Kohen. His body flipped into the air and his right foot came smashign down and attempted to knock Kohen hard into the ground. " We don't need to answer any of your questions boy. You should just follow directions and you won't be ki-.." Kkuzu stopped his sentence in the middle of the word and he spoke once more. " You won't be hurt." He ,ade distance between him and the jinchuuriki and watched his next moves with his white Iris.

[Rikuda Hao]

Ritual? Yuan thought wondering what he meant. Looking up into the air at the hunter Deidira. His eyes closly watching him to see if he would go along with what Hidan said. If he were lucky they wouldn't get along, but he never was that lucky. He held onto his spear ready for whatever atack either Hidan or Deidira would do.

[Rokubi]

(Time to stop playing around and get serious!, Deidara cant make anyone stand still but Sasori can)

Deidara and Sasori read each others minds perfectly, with the constant fire jutsu's and demand for an opponent to stand still it was obvious what needed to be done. Deidara had his bird fly over to the soko's location, while Sasori jumped into an ally way and quickly escaped form his own puppet.

He abandoned his Hiruko puppet and stuck to his normal Akatsuki cloak and clothing, revealing his red hair. Sasori jumped from building to building until he came upon the grounds in which Yuan and Hidan were fighting. He reached into his cloak and pulled out a large scroll, taking the scroll in his left hand he summoned up his favorite puppet....the Sandaime Kazekage! Sasori used his puppet jutsu to stay at range from the two fighters, he kept a distance of about 40 yards. His puppet moved in close to Yuan and HUGE, MASSIVE blades protruded from his sleeve. The puppet planed to distract Yuan so Hidan could attack, the puppet came in with a strike directed at Yuan chest.

Deidara kept in the air as he continuously pelted kohen with 3 more dove like bombs, "You like to stay at range, but your attacks are nothing against my fine art....yeah", Deidara said with a chuckle as he floated above the jinchuuriki. He had his favorite clay piece ready, just in case this battle turned for the worst for the Akatsuki. At a moments notice he was prepared to use clay model number 18, to destroy the entire village!

[Kaguya, Zanisha]

"Well you haven't badly hurt me yet." Kohen replied to Kakuzu with a smirk on his face. "And if you keep it at this rate then I've got no reason to worry. Or even use the 4 tails' power yet!" Then, Kohen canceled his jutsu in time to dodge the kick coming down on him from Kakuzu by moving to the right. Just as he did this he made hand signs in a blur of motion before saying, "Katon: tengai suibou." Just as he did that, the younger Jinchûriki thrust his hands forward torwards Kakuzu, sending out the same extremely hot greet fire around him to trap him in a dome before collapsing it inwards on him. Kohen had only recently mastered this move, 'Katon: tangai suibou' (Fire dome collapse) and had been dying to try it out in battle ever since.

Not even having time to think about anything except his next move, Kohen looked upwards, sensing danger to see The 'artistic' member or the Akatsuki, Deidara, send down 3 dove bombs it him. thinking fast, he dodged the first one; however, the explosion knocked him off his feet only to catch himself with his right hand before landing on his feet. Seeing the second of the three dove bombs come down at him, Kohen rolled his eyes and made a few hand signs and saying, "Katon: dangan" to shoot a fist sized shot of fire at it, causing it to explode in the air between him and Deidara. Then, as the last bomb came down at him, Kohen's eyes narrowed and his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance at the all the bombs. Quickly, Kohen did more hand signs and said, "Katon: appuku bakudan" before taking a deep breath and sending a net of fire from his mouth out at the dove. As soon as the net hit the bomb, it wrapped itself around it so that the explosion wouldn't escape, then it continued its way towards Deidara to blow up in his face. "Ya bombs aren't so fun when they're used against you." he thought but said nothing. Using all those ninjutsus in a row had taken its toll. and pissing these guys off by saying anything else at the second wouldn't help him much.

[Rokubi]

Deidara smirked seeing the tiring look in the young jichuuriki's eyes, he smirked as he saw the tole the explosives were taking on him. Deidara quickly grabed the explosive in his hand, the clay only exploded when Deidara performed the hand seal at the moment of impact. He crushed the clay in his hand, the mouth on his hand licked its chops as it swallowed the clay piece.

Deidara thought of a plan against the barage of strange fire jutsu's from the jinchuuriki, then it hit him. When the clay came out of his hand it was no longer a doe but an owl, without a word Deidara juped of his Falcon and using his jutsu made his owl into a much larger version. He jumped onto the Owl and watched the destruction that was about to take place, if the jinchuuriki was truly tired then he would have no time to dodge it.

(Warning to everyone, the clay peice i threw is about to blow up the area that Kohen, Deidara and Kakuzu are fighting on. This will not drastically affect the battle between Hidan, Sasori, and Yuan)
