Arena Seven: Shinobi Showdown

[Rokubi]

This arena sits atop a giant castle's roof top, the arena has a tiled floor and it rains just about every second. Similar to the area where the Third Hokage fought Orochimaru. Therefore no one person has an elemental advantage over the other, this place is perfect for team battles or single showdowns. Close range fighters and long range fighters will be at equal strength here as-well, its an arena with no disadvantages. It is night time on the rooftops, the only light is the moon which vaguely shows through the rain clouds. Time for a Showdown ;D

[Rokubi]

Takeda stood on the roof top, his slick black hair dangled across his face. His red overcoat flapping in the wind of the coll evening breeze. Takeda was positioned on the opposing side of the castle roof, his partner Gekisen was right beside him. His opponent was once again his new teammate Naraku, seemed like he fought him more than anyone else. But he did not question Kenji's decisions, he was not one to complain. This time would be much easier with Gekisen by his side, he waited for Naraku to make his move so the fight could finally get underway.

[Gekisen]

Gekisen along with Takeda was waiting for someone to make a move. As her hair waved in the wind it turned a bright red from the Naien lighting up rising heat along with it. She picked it up lightly and started to raise it up like it was saying something. She rembered while she was young that the Naien glowed to her feelings. Like when she was excited it would glow red, when she was happy or calm it would change pink, with the many feelings of her than it would change a diffrent color. "I think its reacting to me agian." * waits*
OOC: remeber!!! I'm just an Acedemy Student!!!!

[Shobu]

OOC: yes we know...but that doesn't mean I'm not going to go any easier on you than I normally would...ok well i might start easy on you but then you better be ready after i take down Takeda

Naraku starred at the ground on the opposite side of his opponents. 'The last time I fought like this it didn't turn out like I planned...but this time...will be different.' He looked upward, hair hanging over his eyes. He brushed it out of the way and he glared at both of them...an intention to defeat them... "Takeda is in the Deadly Stone Assassins...so I can't kill him...but...' He scanned over the woman and her wolf. 'No one said I couldn't kill her and her over sized poodle...' He looked back at Takeda. 'Takeda will be more of a threat than her...so I will focus on him for the time being...'

Naraku let out a soft chuckle as he looked back at the ground. "Whenever your ready...you too...whenever your ready..." His gaze shot up in the direction of his opponents, his nearly indestrucible bone armor ready to defend.

[Rokubi]

Takeda looked over at Naraku, his eyes showed his patient misdemeanor. This time he had Gekisen by his side, and although she was there to help Takeda feared she might turn out to be more of a target than a partner. If so then he would have no choice but to defend her from naraku's attacks, so it was a bit of an extra training objective. His mind cleared of all space and time, he stood calmly as the dark clouds formed around the sky, blocking out the moon. They were fighting in little light, but still they each stared at each other with a burning passion.

This fight was also different in the fact that he had his Katana by his side, 'Noen' was his Katana and it was a mystical sword. One of the few legendary blades that were made from the same metal and scattered around the world, Kenji's blade was one of them and Takeda thought that Gekisen's blade might be one too but he never asked. The blades had special properties, but no one was made better than the other even though they were made in different ways. Such as the fact that 'Noen' was much longer than Gekisen's 'Naien', and the fact that Gekisen's glowed red and the 'Noen' glowed blue.

Takeda decided to save his blade for latter, it had the ability to cut through even bone if the right amount of chakra was put into it, which would be useful against Naraku's close ranged combat. The rain began to fall hard on the fighters, each one determined to come out on top. With one last slow breathe gone Takeda took out his Wakizashi that was at his side and ran toward Naraku with great speed. The fight has begun!

[Gekisen]

Ichamaru was standing above everyone tring to hear what they were saying..." That's one thing I hate about being huge..." Gekisen looks up and sees Ichamaru is haveing a hard time figureing out what's happin'.So she crawls up him to talk, " Ichamaru, were having a 2 aginst 1 fight.... were on a team with Takeda.... so don't attack him..." (he likes to attack people who are on a arena whith us... he's like that.....-_-..) Ichamaru looked like he now under stood what was going on. then Gekisen turns her head getting ready.

OOC: I'm not going to be the one to start the action....0.o

[What happened Takeda]

OOC: Okay but me and Kaj agreed to let me have the sword....so long as I said it was made by the same forgers as Kenji's sword. So yeah....the sword stays

[Shobu]

His gaze gradually followed Gekisen up to the head of her wolf. How big it was...he didn't know, but how it is able to get up on this castle was beyond him. He glanced back to Takeda who was charging at him. The rain beat down on him making his hair hang in front of his eyes. Brushing it away he felt the sword make contact with his shoulder. His bone armor, layers upon layers of calcium enhanced bone was near hard as diamond...nothing mere charkra could slice. Not even Chakra could slice through so many layers of bone, enhanced bone at that. Unharmed by the sword he atttempted to grab Takeda's wrists and bending them backward so he couldn't move them. Raising his arms into the air, He grew six new arms, animated them with chakra. They erupted from his skin sharply, the pain soothing him to a degree. The arms flailed wildy...and He cracked the knuckles of his newly formed arms. "Hoishi isn't going to come out so early like in out last battle." He then repeatedly sent punches toward Takeda's stomach.

[Rokubi]

After Takeda's weak attack was blocked he threw a kunai in the opposite direction, he then used a replacement jutsu to swap with the Kunai to get a good distance away from Naraku. "Bone is hard for a regular blade to brake, but my Katana is not a regular blade. It is completely identicle in strength to Kenji's blade, because it was made by the same people. 'Noen' is one of the twenty-one legendary blades, I thought I wouldn't need it last time but I was wrong to under estimate you". Takeda spoke in a calm voice, he put away his wakizashi and took out his Katana the 'Noen' that was strung on his back. He used his chakra to increase his strength and speed and sped off to send multiple strikes at Naraku's bone arms, attampting to cut them all off.

[Gekisen]

Gekisen didn't know what to do. She didn't want to interupt Takeda's attack's so she waved out her Naien hoping maybe it could give her an idea of what to do in some way. As it rose she started to run forward to attack with Ichamaru following behind her. Then she stoped waiting for the right time to attack. As the rain poured down she said " Maybe I should wait"

OOC: I know its not much.......

[Shobu]

Naraku looked at Takeda to his wet hair which hung down in front of his eyes again. He let out a soft laugh. "You don't need to lecture me boy on something you don't fully understand...your tiny butter knife doesn't even compare to Kenji's sword...even if it was made by the same creator." He sidesteped Takeda's first swip at one of his arms and rammed him elbow toward his stomach and jumped backward to keep their distance. He continued to dodge his sword before he pushed it away with his hand, leaving Takeda wide open. He brought his foot up and atempted to disarm him of his sword by kicking his wrist. He placed his foot on his hand and used the leverage to jump into the air. He spun around and did a spinning kick toward his face. He jumped backwards again to give them more distance. "Your lack of power is painful for me to tolerate...so I guess I will just mess around with you before I finish this." He let out a molevoltent smile as bone claws punctured through his nuckles on each of his hands. He looked over at Gekisen. 'Heh, she's smarter than I thought...but if she doesn't jump in soon then this is going to be most boring...' He let out a deep sigh. "I'm ready when you are Takeda!" He motioned his hand for Takeda to hurry up and attack again.

[Rokubi]

Takeda moved his sword from side to side blocking all of the incoming strikes, he was surprised that Naraku's usually thunder was a bit....lacking at best. If his sword strikes did not break the bones in a single thrust then they surtantly chipped them to to point in which they became obsolete. "Ignorence is bliss is suppose, my blade is second only to Kenji's. Even if its second, it can still cut through your weak bone defence."

Takeda had much distance from him but to safely secure a victory in this battle he jumped back to the point where he was right next to Gekisen, "Are you fighting, if so then let us charge him together. After all he's not that powerful, not as he claims anyways". He stared over at Gekisen, her sword and wolf would be most useful in this battle. That is, is they got a proper opening for her to use them.

Takeda sheethed his sword, he did not fully unleash its true potential, he was saving that for later. He lifted his hand into the air and started to collect water, as the water came down it froze into ice. The ice spread all over the area in which he and Gekisen were standing, the bitter cold began to sink into the night sky. Takeda was not cold, his body was practically numb from his constant ice jutsu anyways. Takeda would wait for Naraku to strike first this time, he would wait, watch, and listen.

[Gekisen]

"So Takeda what's the plan?"

OOC: Agian its not much but i'm kinda in a hurry... and I was thinking that Takeda had a better plan than I...

[Rokubi]

"The plan is tough but it sould work, your sword should be able to cut through his bone armor almost as much as mine. We will both charge in at the same time, be warned he can make clones out of his bones. And he can summon a Dragon of bone, in which we will need to use Ichamaru." Takeda was done freezing the water, in a couple of hand seals he used his Ice Release: Swallow Snow Storm to send hundreds of razor sharp ice peices in the shape of birds at Naraku. "Now charge in, we catch him off gaurd", every time Takeda stepped on a wet tile the tile would freeze into ice. He was hoping that Gekisen would listen and charge at Naraku with him.

[Shobu]

"You don't seem to understand the capabilities of Kenji's sword..." Naraku's hair fell in front of his eyes again as the rain beat down upon him. Frustration filled his body. 'I've had enough of this.' He reached up and cut the bangs off of his head. He carlessly tossed them aside. "Let's end this pointless discussion and get this battle over with." With that he left them to do their plan peacfully and calmly waited for a chance to attack.

The next thing he knew hundreds of ice swallows swarmed toward him. "Heh, is that REALLY the best plan he could come up with...?' He pulled up one of his arms as bones slit out in to form a sheild. He placed it in front of his body as the ice swallows hit it. Before he knew it the swallows ended. "Common Takeda, this is pitiful...is your summon the only reason you almost beat me last time? Your going to fight harder if you don't want Kenji to kill you..."
