The Darkened Calamity... (invitation only...Eman and Zak)

Emanyeru approached the village hidden in the rain with an utmost calm appeal. His hands were placed secured inside of his black and grey cloak. His eyes seemed to be unfocused to the fact of not paying a great deal of attention to his current surroundings. His demeanor showed that he was not worried but mentally he was keeping note of every single life form that entered the expansion of his mind. His current range of focus was up to 200m in a complete sphere allowing him to be ready for any sudden attacks. His chakra hemisphere was also in place but stretched slightly farther to 350m keeping him alert to any sudden attacks on his persona.

His cloak fluttered slightly as a small breeze passed through the road he was traveling on causing him to stop in his tracks. He sniffed the air noticing the scent of several nin's up ahead just outside of his tracking zones. He frowned slighly before sliding Naiya Sochi from its sheath and leaping into the air extravagantly. He soared just above the nin using the glare of the sun to block his position from being spotted as he held out his clear blade for the rays of sunlight and radiation to gather inside of its cool surface.

"Solar Release: Radiation Downpour!" He shouted as his blade glared with light, radiation and heat. He held it back behind him before slashing down towards the nin below giving them no prior warning to his attack as his shout had be drowned out by the prevailing winds of the higher atmosphere. The radiation reached the men in seconds and bathed them in Alpha, Beta, and Gamma rays that were 10X more potent and destructive than normal.

By time they had realized the attack it was already too late. The radiation and heat took its toll on their bodies and the surrounding landscape leaving a slightly darkened circle in the ground filled with wilted plants, and charred bodies of small animals who's cellular structure had been destroyed by the radiation onslaught. The nin's bodies had holes where the radiation had completely destroyed all traces of flesh, bone, and muscle. Their eye sockets were gaping holes as their eyes had been melted by the intense heat. Their brain fluid flowed out of their nasal and ear cavities and formed a pool of gray viscous liquid around their scared black skulls.

Emanyeru smirked and frowned at the same time forming a corrupted scowl that sang volumes on how displeased he was at the relatively easy kill, 'Ninja should always be prepared...if they are not prepared then they deserved to die...' He floated down from his position in the sky and stepped on to the slightly charred path and sniffed the air. The radiation was still present in the wind and was currently being absorbed by the resident plants and animals that had survived the initial onslaught and were sure to die slowly and painfully from radiation poisoning. "Lets hope the village does better than this...", He sighed deeply as he continued on his way after sliding Naiya Sochi back into its sheath.

The path he traveled on became slightly smoother as he got closer and closer to the village. He noticed that it had actually been worn down so much that it was lower than the surrounding land. At some points he noted it was around two feet lower than the grass at the edges. He arched an eyebrow at this discovery, 'Interesting...I've never noticed a path so worn down before...Must be an important trade route or something'. He came upon a small trading post and sat down in a cross legged position just outside with his back against the wall.

Several seconds later two Ame ANBU nin dropped down from the roof in front of Emanyeru with their blades drawn and ready, "Emanyeru Kouseitan'i, AKA The Crimson Darkness. We have a warrant out for your immediate arrest, should you choose to resist we will kill you". Emanyeru blinked mentally and sighed, ANBU get more and more robotic each generation...' He stood up slowly while slipping a diamond kunai out of its pouch. He looked at the two nin with a blank glare that slighly unnerved them both. "So if i resist you'll kill me right...?" He had wanted to make sure before he struck so he wouldn't be wasting his energy on such a pointless battle.

The two ANBU stepped back slowly while reaching for their respective weapons. Emanyeru smiled with glee as he noted their tense but loose postures and stood at ready. His feet were planted firmly with his left leg plant forward at an eighty degree angle and his right leg behind at an seventy-eight degree angle. His arms were placed slightly out from his chest with his left hand forward with his fingers slightly curled but not fully and his right behind him with the kunai loosely hanging from his palm. He tensed his muscles lightly while studying both of their positions realizing that they were expecting a direct assault, 'Too bad its the wrong preparation...'

He sprung forward with light precision in his step causing the two ANBU to slide their blades out quickly and lunge forward at him. He quickly noted their descriptions while jumping to the side quickly dodging both attacks. The one on the left had a tiger mask on with black hair that shot out from the side like spikes. He wore a black body suit with a black vest and had an ANBU tattoo on his shoulder. He carried a Wakizashi that had a silvery dragon inscribed in the blade. It glowed blue showing that it was capable of conducting chakra.

The second ANBU had a hawk mask on with no visible hair from the front though from the side it looked as though she had her hair in a ponytail. She wore a similar outfit to the first but she wore loose black pants and a tight fitting mesh bodysuit. Emanyeru thanked the god of death for having her black vest block his view of her breasts as he continued studying his opponent. It seemed to him that the female carried tonfa blades and scowled, 'Damn...fucking tonfa blades...'

He planned out his next few moves carefully as he stepped around the ANBU slowly as he stayed in his stance throughout the entire encirclement noticing that they faced him where ever he circled around to. 'Good...they stay ready and focused and wont allow me to get behind them...This will be fun...' He leaped at them slowly giving himself time to change direction forcing the two nin to shuffle into guarded positions while making sure he didn't go to the side like he did before. He dropped down low allowing himself to pull out three more kunai before leaping into the air and flinging said kunai towards the two.

The two ANBU acted accordingly and blocked the kunai before smirking, "Seems like the Crimson Darkness isn't as good as he seems", Hawk Mask taunted. He readied his Wakizashi and rushed Emanyeru full on not realizing Emanyeru had slid Naiya Sochi out of its sheath in mid leap. He currently held it so that its blade was invisible to the eye while holding another kunai out in front of him.

The nin descended upon him with his own blade held high and slashed downward at Emanyeru aiming to cut him from his shoulder to his hip while his partner rushed in low and slashed out at his legs. Emanyeru did the most sensible thing at that moment with a double tandem attack and jumped forward while doing a front flip dodging the slash at his legs. He held out his kunai allowing him to stab the female in the arm while lashing out with Naiya Sochi slicing the males side open with the blade.

The male landed in a heap and instantly held onto his side from pain as the woman gritted her teeth and ripped the kunai out of her arm. She felt her arm go limp and noticed that it was now disabled. She scowled behind her mask before rushing at Emanyeru once more forgetting about her severely injured partner and rained blow after blow at Emanyeru aiming to slice the man to ribbons. Emanyeru deftly dodged and blocked most of the blows receiving two cuts on his hands and one across the chest from rogue hits.

He arched an eyebrow at the rage produced by the young woman and lashed out with his left leg just as she came in close for another barrage and caught her in the side with a crushing blow. She flew to the side from the heap and landed gasping for air. Emanyeru watched both for signs of aggression and squinted his eyes at the feeling that the battle had been to easy.

He cursed at himself wildly for letting his guard down as two more nin dropped down from the surrounding trees and surrounded him just as the female was getting up. Emanyeru scowled at the trapped feeling and noted that the first male was breathing harshly from his wounds. He saw the two pace around him as the female limped over to the male and pick up him before shunshining away from the scene leaving Emanyeru with the two that now surrounded him, "Alright then..." he spoke as he settled back into his fighting position ready for the oncoming assault.

Emanyeru leveled a glare at both as the one in front of him pulled out a pair of nunchaku and began to bounce lightly on his feet. The other, after making a quick backward glance pulled out a pair of bladeless tonfa and held them at ready. Emanyeru, seeing as both were carrying non lethal weapons slid naiya sochi back in its sheath and slid down into his fiery domination stance and ignited the air around his hands and feet with the fire chakra that flowed from his tenketsu.

The two ANBU units edged away from Emanyeru slowly not taking into account this unorthodox fighting style before realizing that the style could not be as deadly as the weapon he had used earlier. They both rushed at him, counting on the fact that they were much more seasoned than the two younger units that had approached Emanyeru earlier and swiped and lashed at Emanyeru with a flurry of blows.

Emanyeru ducked and weaved through the attacks trying with earnest to not get his ass beat by the two well rounded ninja as he brought his foot up to kick the one to his left away while trying to slap the other to the side with his fist. Both attacks missed their targets however as the ANBU in front grabbed on to his arm and tugged Emanyeru closer to him causing him to lose his balance momentarily. The second ANBU capitalizing on the grogginess Emanyeru now had struck him twice along his spine disabling him for a few seconds allowing the first to toss him away like a rag doll.

Emanyeru rolled along the ground roughly for a few feet before standing up. Showing no physical signs of being hit, he stretched out his body allowing himself to be more limber in his movements. He began to bounce lightly on the soles of his feet gaining momentum with each consecutive tap on the ground. He glared at both of them from behind his flaming fists and motioned them to come to him.

He felt he had the advantage at this moment as he was now no longer surrounded and leap upward just as the two came towards him and lashed out quickly with his left leg while spinning allowing him to kick out with the other leg through the turn. The two ANBU completely caught off guard by his quick recovery fell victim to the attack and slid back several feet after being hit. The two nin cursed their incompetence and quickly regrouped themselves.

Unfortunately for them Emanyeru was quickly upon them both. In their confusion he had created a darkness clone allowing him to fight them both on equal grounds. He and the clone worked together fluidly as though Emanyeru were controlling the clone himself as they jabbed and weaved at their disheveled opponents. The two ANBU continuously fought back against the onslaught but quickly fell victim to the tandem attack.

As Emanyeru and the clone pushed them back to back limiting their available dodging room, they realized that they had underestimated him before attempting to get out of this dire situation. The first one made a mistake however and looked Emanyeru in the eyes in time for him to implant and activate a devastating genjutsu. The ANBU froze in place causing his partner to look at him worriedly while attempting to get away from the clone that was increasing its attack on him.

Inside the genjutsu world the ANBU stood at ready, anticipating a sudden attack on his mental defenses. He was not anticipating, however, Emanyeru to walk towards him with a kimono draped on his frame. His hands were inside the robe concealing the presence of any weapons that he may of held. He approached the tensed nin with a smile that hid the massive devilish grin that Emanyeru truly held on.

The nin arched an eyebrow from behind his mask as Emanyeru bowed to him, "Welcome to my world..." he said calmly as the nin finally realized that he was inside of a giant flowering orchard. He frowned at the calmness of his surroundings and clutched onto his nunchaku tightly, "Why are we here...?", he asked, uncertain of his opponents true intentions. Emanyeru simply smiled and turned to a giant screen that formed in the air that showed the battle going on in the outside world, "We are here to simply observe for a moment no worries. After your team mate is eradicated I will deal with you..." The nin didn't really like the sound of that as he turned to the screen as watched as well.

The battle on the outside was turning worser and worser by the second for the ANBU as the clone landed consecutive hits on the man. The mans shinobi gear showed the signs of the repeated hits as burn marks covered his arms and scorched clothing covered his more vital parts. The battle suddenly turned more deadly as the clone grew out its claws and directed more of the fire towards the claws turning them from deadly slicing objects to weapons that could cause major damage.

The nin's eyes grew wide suddenly as he jumped back from the clone just as its hand smashed into the ground where he once stood. Even though he couldn't see it the clone had released four of its twenty-eight pairs of chakra restraints that it had in its mind and body. The clone quickly disappeared from view once more as it sped towards the man who was now watching with fear as the battle's tide had turned drastically. He felt a sudden pain in his chest and looked down with fear evident in his eyes as he watched with horror as the clone impaled him with its blazing claws. He felt the fire and cried out in pain as his insides were burned horribly, the thick smell of his own flesh burning causing the man to almost drop from pain and shock.

The clone pulled its claws from the mans chest and licked the blood off of them as the man watched with a horrid expression on his face. He didn't notice the clone reach up and smash his mask or notice it reach toward his eye and begin to pluck it out slowly. He did however feel the pain of his eye being ripped from its socket followed by optical nerves. His pupils dilated suddenly as his passed into an unconscious state from the pain and stood there like a stone. The clone smirked grandly as it shifted its form into a large hulking beast that looked like a cross between a golem and a slasher demon. The beast gripped onto the man's shoulder with its claw like fingers and pulled to the sides slowly ripping the man slowly in two as it gripped his cranium between its horrendous molars.

He awoke suddenly after smelling something that was terribly vile and looked up and screamed terribly. He could feel his body being torn apart and panicked and lashed out with his legs trying to escape but couldn't. Suddenly with a sickening wet rip the man's body was separated in halves as his head was ripped from his shoulders. The beast chewed on the man's skull with content as he held onto the now empty halves of the man's body, his internal organs already laying along the ground soaking it in blood.

It sorted out the organs carefully and began to feast on the remains of the mans body. His partner sat on the ground with a completely shocked and horrified expression on his face as his partner was seemingly devoured by this grotesques beast. The man cried terribly as he realized that his partner was dead, "Bro...", he weeped as he pulled off his mask and glared at Emanyeru. Emanyeru noticed the tears in the man's eyes and kept the smile on his face making the man even more furious.

"You bastard...", the man whispered as he stood up slowly. His black eyes leveled a furious glare at Emanyeru as he flashed through handseals and attempted to draw chakra but realized he couldn't. A worried look crossed his face as he wondered why he wasn't able to use chakra when Emanyeru laughed with an extreme amount of mirth from the man's plight while slide Nai Sochi from within his kimono. "Don't try it...you'll only fail...", he said as he walked towards the man. The man's eye's widened as he stared at the pitch black blade that seemed to reflect no light. The only recognizable identification of the blade was a long scratch that stretched the entire length of the blade.

He noticed that this was the only mark on the blade and wondered what the blade was made of as Emanyeru stood in front of him and placed the cool flat surface of the blade against his face. He felt something sloshing around inside though he couldn't tell what it was before feeling indescribable pain coming from where the blade touched his skin. He felt as though his soul was being slowly being sucked out of his body via the blade and noticed his skin growing paler. He attempted to jump away from the blade before realizing he was rooted in place. He heard Emanyeru chuckled and looked at the man as he finally noticed the whiskers and fox ears and looked at Emanyeru with wide eyes, "Your not human are you...?" he asked finally.

Emanyeru smiled as he pulled the blade from the man's pale face. He noticed that the man was significantly skinnier than before and incredibly, "You are correct..." he said, "I am a Kitsune Youkai. One of the last remaining ones in the human realm besides my children and siblings. You are now trapped in my genjutsu, the Kitsune Kenbu: Shinikajuen - Fox Sword Dance: Orchard of Death. I just sucked out a large part of your soul and copious amounts of your blood and respiratory fluid which is why your feeling very weak at the moment. Luckily i will put you out of your misery now..." He pulled his sword arm back before giving the nin an acknowledging nod and stabbed the man through his chest shattering his rib cage and crushing his heart.

Because of the fact that he was killed in his mind and not his body, his outward appearance was still the same for a few moments before his body broke apart and shattered like glass. Emanyeru's body returned back to its normal condition shortly after and was treated to the site of the beast finishing its meal, "Good boy..." he cooed as he patted it on its shoulder, "Be sure to dispell yourself when you finish..." He turned and walked away from the scene just as the hulking demon swallowed the last pieces of flesh and turned into black sludge before fading away into the earth. The blood stains and shattered skin still there, the only evidence of the four nin that had fought the fox demon.

Emanyeru sighed and he looked towards the sky noting its position in the sky as he approached the gates of the village and frowned, "Nearly night time...gotta be quick..." He walked up to the ninja at the gate and stated his name and showed his ID allowing himself access to the village. He didn't care to notice if anyone was following him though he was pretty sure a few members of his organization would be here soon, 'Soon this will all be history...' he commented mentally as he stared at the magnificent village of Amegakure.

Emanyeru inhaled deeply as the moisture in the air increased dramatically before the downpour began. He scowled deeply as the cool raindrops evaporated after contact with his heated skin. He placed on his hooded jacket quickly before looking around to see who was out and about. He noticed a few small couples as well as singles, and busy bodies. He sighed as he counted down the seconds before anyone actually noticed him and felt massively disappointed at the detection skill the village possess, 'For a place that's supposed to have the best tracker nin's this sure is pretty bad...'

He walked ahead some more before entering a relatively empty tavern and looked around. He noticed a few off duty shinobi around and smirked as he walked over to the bar and ordered a few drinks for himself. He sat down at the counter and counted of in multiples of 5 while waiting for one of the half drunk nin to notice him. He knew how liquor dulled a ninja's senses and refused to drink any of the viscous liquid that was poured for him.

The bartender noticed Emanyeru's suspicious behavior and approached him slowly, "Hey buddy are you going to drink that or what? I don't have liquor to waste..." Emanyeru lifted his head slowly and looked the bartender in the eye, his irritation evident in his eyes, "I paid you for this glass of liquor did I not...why would it matter to you if I drank it or not..." The amount of malice in his voice scared the bartender slightly causing him to inch away from Emanyeru, "Okay then...enjoy your drink..."

Emanyeru sighed deeply as he twirled the golden brown liquid around the glass and downed it quickly. Several seconds after downing the drink he felt two taps on his shoulder and looked over his shoulder. He noticed it was one of the off duty nin and frowned, "What do you want..." he said harshly as though he didn't care if the guy was half drunk and could probably do anything at the moment.

The ninja frowned and grabbed Emanyeru by his shoulder and attempted to squeeze it, "Watch who yer talkin to kid...I-I'm a ANBU for this village...and i'll...kick your arse if ya keep this up..." Emanyeru blinked at this guys alcohol level and sighed, 'This guy is drunk off his ass...' he thought sadly as shrugged the guys hand off his shoulder before elbowing him harshly in the gut forcing him to lean over the counter.

Emanyeru reacted quickly before his companions could realize what was happening and hopped out of his chair while looping his arm around the mans neck dragging the guy with him. He balanced his heels and ducked slighly swinging the guy over his shoulder flipping him into a table breaking it in half. The other nin stood up quickly after realizing what had happened and rushed Emanyeru full on without thought and attempted to jump him.

The battle however was quickly decided as Emanyeru leaped into the air and smashed both of their heads together via a kick to ones head. He landed in a crouch and swiped out the legs from beneath one and kicked him up into the air before he landed and delivered a quick five punch combo to the mans stomach and spine before grabbing him by his legs and swinging him around for a rotation before flinging him out the window.

The other two quickly regrouped after their comrade was thrown and charged at Emanyeru once more forcing him to lash out with both legs striking them both in their guts. He didn't really feel like dealing with this and therefore ended it quickly by flashing through handseals while both of them were clutching their sides and inhaled deeply. He compressed the air in his chest and heated it with his fire chakra before exhaling it valiantly from his gullet while igniting it with a flame from his fingertips.

The resulting action was a grand dragon made of fire that flew at the two nin, crashing into them in seconds flinging them through the wall into the room that housed all of the liquor. Emanyeru's eyes widened knowing what fire plus alcohol meant and leaped out of the window quickly just before the fire set the alcohol on fire creating a giant fireball that set off a great chain reaction that ignited the gas tank causing it to explode blowing the build to splinters killing all of those who were still inside.

Emanyeru sat up from his spot on the ground and looked at the burning building that wasn't even affected by the downpour and sighed, "Can't even get a drink without blowing something up..." he stated as he dusted himself off and stood up. He looked around and noticed the onlookers and scowled, "What are you looking at...!", he growled scaring the bystanders off before leaping into the while stuffing his hands in his pockets.

He landed on the roof of another building and looked over the village with a sigh, "Time to burn it down..." He looked out over the gates and wondered how long it would take before anyone noticed the village was gone and shrugged, "Eh...it wont matter..." He sat down on the room in a cross legged position and began to meditate softly for a few moments while he gathered his thoughts before beginning his assault on the village.

Zero was curious as to who the man was he saw and followed them until they walked into a tavern, this guy wasn't a resident of this village that he was sure of, his attire was different then those of this place.After trailing him successfully without being noticed he entered the bar shortly after he did and sat in an empty corner table and kept a close eye on the man, he was certainly responsible for the bloodshed he saw earlier and this could be someone very interesting to him.
Soon he ordered a drink and he received it but he did not drink, he just seemed to sit there and examine the people around the bar. Not to long after ordering the drink the bartender seemed to talk to him about something and then seemed to be in fear of the man.An ANBU of the village approached the man, obviously drunk from his mannerisms and his actions. The man then laid him out over the counter and before he knew it a fight began. Afterwards a fire started, Zero stood up quickly and walked out of the bar before he was to get caught in this. If the man died in there he would not exit, if he survives he will follow him some more to find out who he is. Sure enough as Zero thought the man came crashing through the window and an explosion was heard. He smirked at how much destruction happened in a short ammount of time. The man was at the top of another building now. Zero jumped up onto another roof far enough to avoid suspicion of his trailing him. He followed him to an area where the man seemed to meditate. Zero then jumped down nearby. "That was quite a show back there" he said with slight amusement in his voice.

As Noctis was nearing his destination he was caught in the middle of a village known as the Rain Village. He had to pass through here to reach the area he was told his family could have been.As He neared the south gate he could see a building on fire and two people jumping from roof tops. "Heh..Looks interesting" he smirked and jumped up and chased after the two of them and soon they came to a stop and the one with a scythe had jumped down in front of the other one. He watched them carefully from the roofs.

He breathed in calmly as he meditated closing out his mind from any outward intrusions and slowly fell into a deep trance. He sat like this for a few minutes before another person appeared in his sphere of awareness and began to actively speak to him. He didn't register the first few words that he said but he did catch the last few words, "-quite a show back there". He blinked a few times before looking up seeing a person he hadn't seen before and sighed, "What do you want? Can't you see i'm meditating...?"

Emanyeru was one of the types that didn't like to bothered during his meditation and made it quite frequently his practice to kill anything that interrupted his meditation. He sighed deeply however resigning the fact that he wouldn't be able to pay homage to his deity of choice, the god of death, the shinigami, and decided that he would do so later. He uncrossed his legs and stood up feeling the dampness of his clothes from sitting in the rain and growled as steam rose off his body slowly drying his clothes even as the rain continued to dampen them.

He frowned at the feeling and decided to finish what he started here quickly so he could begin to rebuild the area in his vision. He turned back to the younger nin and stared at him momentarily before looking up in a separate direction away from him and spoke in a normal tone that the other nin would still be able to hear even in the rain based on the tone he used, "You hiding in the roof. Either come here or leave before your body ends up not being found..." He knew his threat wouldn't go unnoticed and banked on the fact that like any young nin today the kids pride and arrogance would drive him to come out of his hiding place and prove himself, 'And thats when he'll be caught...' Emanyeru thought with a strange grin on his face.

Zero smirked as he could see the man was annoyed with his presence. Annoying people and getting on other people's nerves was something he found amusing some times and this one was one of those times. "I Don't want anything in particular" he smirked "Just wanted to see how much more interesting things you might cause to my amusement." he explained. "But it seems-" he was cut off by the sound of something above him. "Another visitor , I must have gotten careless if I didn't notice him earlier" he chuckled.

Noctis felt a little anxious as he watched them and made a small foot movement that went over a rock and made a small noise. Shit, No Dont hear that! he thought to himself and his face went pale as he heard the mans voice. He knew he was caught so he had no other choice but to jump down from the roof top. He put more strength into his legs and jumped down hitting the floor with a bang and sword clanged against the floor as he hit the floor. His legs shrunk to they're regular skinny size and he looked up at the two of them with a strong silent face. "....."

Emanyeru turned back to the other boy with a raised eyebrow and shrugged, "Suit yourself. Just get out of the way before your blown to pieces..." He kept his eye out for the other person while making sure that no ANBU had spotted them. Unluckily for the three of them, Emanyeru's wishing skills were very, very, very, poor. He felt two new presences approaching fast and scowled deeply, "Hurry up kid."

He sized the new comer after he dropped down and frowned when he felt a particular aura about him. He was sure he was wrong but like all people he had to make sure, "Who's your parents?" he asked quietly keeping track of the ninja's who were approaching as the number damn near quadrupled. He was sure he could take them all but knew that the other two probably wouldn't live to see tomorrow, 'Eh...no qualms off my back...' He thought quickly as he pulled two diamond kunai from his kunai pouch and turned away from the kid before he would even be able to answer.

The first two nin would land on the roof shortly after he turned and stare down at Emanyeru and the two others as though they were the most villainous creatures to ever walk the earth, "You three come with us quietly or we'll be forced to kill you..." Even though they knew what had happened to two of their comrades and felt the fate of the last two was very bleak they still felt that they had strength in numbers and were sure enough granted that strength when a small squad of ANBU appeared behind them.

Emanyeru frowned deeply before looking behind himself at the two, "Okay...i don't know or care about you two...but i'm not going to die...so if your coming with me...lets fight...if your going to sit here and play with your toys...thats fine two...if your going to sit here and act like retards and run around screaming like idiots...be my guests. Just don't get in the way". And with that he leaped off just as the new ANBU approached him with their blades drawn ready for battle.

Zero looked at the newcomer boy. He didn't look much older then he did though if the boy was here and this whole thing could be a trap for him. Perhaps following this man wasn't a good idea. "Heh.." but the man didn't seem to know who the boy was either and even asked him who his parents were but not before warning them of on coming forces. Zero could hear them coming as well, they were careless to get here. If they really planned to kill someone they would have gone about it with more care. Zero gripped the handle of his scythe and jumped up to where they would be and smirked. "Come get some" he said to them and lunged forward with a very quick step. After he seemed to appear next the ANBU and swung his scythe at them getting a small cut on the mans arm. The ANBU thinking nothing of the little cut just backed away from Zero and examined his behavior and tried to find a strategy to beat him.
Zero smirked and walked into the center where the man was meditating before. His eyes seemed filled with pleasure as he licked the blood from his scythe. His skin turning a pitch black with skeletal marks on his body. He stabbed his hand with a retractable spike he pulled out of his hoodie and let the blood flow to the ground. He put his foot to the ground and drew the symbol that was on his necklace. "Preparation Complete" he shouted with excitement and stabbed his arm with the spike and smiled as he saw the ANBU above him fall to the ground with pain gripping his arm."Hahahaahaha!" he started laughing.

Noctis was a little scared as the man approached him and then embraced him and asked him of who his family was. He was hesitant in answering the question because he just met the new person. Soon he was told that there were enemies or maybe allies in this case if this man became hostile. "My Family is Kouseitan'i" he muttered quietly as the man backed off from him. Hoping he heard his response to the question he asked. Before he could react to the ANBU's approach an ANBU member slashed at his torso. As soon as he felt contact with the blade to his should he turned into water and fell into a puddle onto the ground.He then after a few seconds returned to physical form and grabbed his sword and tried to defend himself from the attacking ANBU members, he may have had the strength to fight them off but his pacifist personality went against it. He was backed into a corner defending himself from constant attacks. "Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck!" he said over and over Until he felt the need to attack rise. He put water into his arms and pushed them back. "Get Away!" he shouted and then rushed towards them and swung the beheading blade at the anbu's vest cutting the surface of the vest as the ANBU attempted to back away.

Emanyeru watched the two from the corner of his eye as he parried and slashed continuously at the two ANBU in front of him. He tried to keep one from getting behind him and was pretty much successful in that area into a surprise kick jolted him from his thoughts and sent him tumbling away. He frowned indignantly and swiped a blood speck from the corner of his mouth and spat out the remaining blood that was pooling just behind his lips from where the surprise kicked landed.

He scowled deeply feeling that he should have been more prepared for that kick and shrugged it off, 'Need to start training more...startin to get a little slow...' He upped his chakra weights and gravity seals feeling them drag down on his body even more making it difficult for him to stand. He smirked slowly making the ANBU edge away from him as he slid three diamond kunai from his pouch once more before running at them both.

They both noticed his speed was a little slower than before and decided to capitalize on that fact and began a second double tandem attack in which three other nin jumped into. Emanyeru swore darkly at the persistence of the nin and began to fight rapidly testing his muscles to the fullest. He knew that if he slipped up for just one second it would be all over as he ducked and weaved around the multiple attacks while lashing at out the five with his own. He decided to even the playing ground and jumped into the sky and flashed through handseals.

A nin seeing this jumped in the air after him but was caught off guard when Emanyeru inhaled suddenly before exhaling a massive blast of wind knocking him into the roof cracking the hard cement. The other nins backed away slowly from the fallen nin and looked up at Emanyeru and he flashed through another long stream of handseals. He focused the chakra in his lungs and heated it up with his fire chakra before moving his fingers in front of his hand and exhaling powerfully releasing a massive stream of fire from between his lips. The fire whipped and stretched as it flew towards the fear laden nins.

Emanyeru kept his fearsome anger laden face up as he blew the stream of fire at the men. 'Katon: Kaenho-Shaki', He mentally screamed the name as it crashed into them burning those who were caught off guard severely. The other who happened to jump away at the time escaped unharmed except for a few burn marks here or there.

Feeling confident that he had disrupted their attack, he charged at them from the air engaging them one on one in close combat. Using his Electric Static style of the Kouseitan'i Taijutsu, he was able paralyze two of the nin's before the others joined in. He scowled as they fought back fiercely. Blades swinging, fists fly, legs thrashing, the bodies of the two nin's fought in tandem with each other as they tried to force Emanyeru to yield. Unfortunately for them Emanyeru was beginning to get used to the weight and gravity that was pressed on him and began to use it to his advantage.

He jumped back and slid into the Earthen Domination Style of the Kouseitan'i Clan. He mixed it with another rather destructive taijutsu style of his, the Dragon Claw Style, and rushed nin head on. He ducked and weaved slowly under attacks while capitalizing on their disgruntled attacks and struck one in the chest with a crushing haymaker sending him tumbling. Emanyeru knew he wasn't rising from that one and spun around slowly to deliver a death blow in the form of a massive upper cut to the chin smashing the man's jaw and sending several bone fragments into his brain killing him.

Emanyeru panted softly as he stared at the remaining nin and slid back into a relatively light taijutsu style and motioned them on. He knew that if he kept up like this he might lose but he wasn't going to go out without a fight, and that he knew for sure.

The pain...The Pain, this is what Zero lived for to cause pain to himself and onto others. Zero had a sick passion as others would view it as but to him in his mind killing was a sport. Blood dripped from his arm creating a small puddle of blood on the floor, a face full of pleasure painted on him. "Hmhmmhmm.." he chuckled under his breath as an ANBU zoomed in to attack zero and stabbed a sword into his left lung. Zero seemed shocked at first but a smile was on his face. "That wasn't needed" he smirked as he knew the other ANBU would die now he cut the ANBU who was nearby him and licked the blood. The blade still in his lung caused pain to the other ANBU. The man clutched his chest and fell to the ground gasping for breath.
"Stupid Bastard You should have been careful!" he shouted with laughter in his voice. Most of the ANBU were killed off. Zero laughed "Two for the master today" he smiled and turned to watch the young other boy fighting off one of the ANBU.

The Anbu lunged forward as Noctis needed sometime to bring his sword back to him from the large swing. Noctis frowned and used the Water Replacement jutsu after dropping his sword.He turned to another puddle on the floor and fooled the ANBU once more. He brought his arm back to physical form and put all his strength into it and slowly made his whole body once more and swung his sword at the unsuspecting Anbu member. An Unclean cut to the lower torso ripped through the body quickly making disgusting sounds that made Noctis want to vomit.The body of the enemy laid on the floor in front of him in half. "Oh God.." Noctis said as his face turned a pale white. Falling to the ground on his knees then fell forward but caught himself. He huffed and puffed as he felt air getting more contracting. He felt as though he was going to vomit once more. Though he did not vomit, he felt himself slowly getting better. He looked up at the other two people who fought alongside him.

The remaining nin began to spread out in a semi-circle around the three as the ones who lead the remaining group walked forward. The blazing fire seemed to flicker as a reflection on their eyes as they approached Emanyeru quietly. He stayed in his taijutsu style but decided to loosen up a little to see what these men wanted. The men stood in front of Emanyeru and removed their masks revealing them not to be men, but women instead. Looking around Emanyeru had noticed that a good deal of the platoon had been women as well except the two that had confronted him and the ones that had fought the two other guys.

Emanyeru arched an eyebrow as he looked at them then sized both of them up and stood up fully slipping out of his taijutsu stance with reluctance. He sighed and stuffed his hands in his pockets and pulled out a single cigarette and placed it between his lips before snapping multiple times trying to warm up his fingers. The rain didn't really help and he scowled deeply at that fact and held his hand over the end of the cigarette and snapped his fingers once more this time getting the flame he desired. He lit his cigarette slowly keeping his eyes on the females as they stood impatiently in front of him watching him take his sweet time lighting a cigarette.

The leader finally reached her last nerve as Emanyeru took another hesitant puff from his cigarette and smacked his hand away from his lips. He looked over to where his cigarette had fallen and looked back at her like she was insane. The look in his eyes made two of the women shudder from the harshness it held but the rest kept their piercing gaze on him, "What are you doing in our village, assaulting our nins..." the leader questioned. Emanyeru sighed seeing that this was an unimportant moment and pulled out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and slid one out of the box before stuffing it back into his pocket. He repeated the lighting process once again and took a puff or two from it before blowing out the smoke, right into the women's faces.

"Look...i've been getting assaulted by your nin...in your village...ever since i got here...I didn't even start this crap...i should be the one asking you why are your nin attacking me...but it seems like an system of command hasn't even been set up yet. Or else your nin wouldn't have attacked us in the first place". He finished with another long pull from his cigarette that sent her eye brow into a furious twitch as she refrained from wringing Emanyeru's neck into nothingness. He kept his cool as he waited for her response, not really caring if he received one or not, but pretty sure that the response was going to be pretty darn impolite.

And sure enough, he was right. As soon as he placed his fingers up to his mouth to take another drag, she struck again. Luckily this time she had her section leaders to hold her back from striking Emanyeru in the face. He smirked indignantly and slid a single diamond kunai from his pouch and held it out to her causing her to look at the clear, transparent blade as though it were a nuclear bomb. He smirked once more as he flipped his hand over quickly before flipping it back showing that the kunai was no where in sight.

The women all had confused looks in their eyes as they looked at him. Each wondered the exact same thing but didn't feel like risking the silence that the six of them shared together. Finally to ease the calm Emanyeru spoke out to them clearly, "So why are you here...?" His question caught them off guard as they finally decided to look back at him and not at his outstretched hand that once held a surely solid kunai in it. It took them a minute to realize his question before glaring at him once more like he had caused all the problems.

"We got a report that an unidentified male was approaching the village and was preparing to head out before two of our nin had returned badly injured. After treating the wounds we continued to proceed toward the gate when we heard the explosion and decided to examine it", she stopped for a moment to catch her breath before finishing, "Apparently from the katon technique you just used, you must have set off the explosion?"

Emanyeru was caught off guard by the question and generally took it the best way he could, which to simply put it, was to answer it straightforwardly, "Yea it was me, so what about it?" His answer once again caught them off guard. They were used to people denying that they did anything and here comes a guy who outright says he did it. The leader didn't feel to right about it and took a few steps back and turned to another squad leader to begin conversing about it.

This left Emanyeru surrounded by a platoon of mostly female ANBU units with three of them right in front of his face. His kitsune side slowly began to show as he cracked a wide grin at them, "Ya'll sure look mighty fine today..." he licked his lips sensually to add emphasis on his statement causing the women to either blush furiously or scowl deeply. He smiled genuinely to them hoping they didn't take extreme offense to his statement, but knowing the human female population, you could never tell if you said the right thing or wrong thing. So sometimes its best if you just shut up and listen. And thats what Emanyeru did after saying his comment. Was shut up and listen.

Zero watched as the strangers finished off whats left of the ANBU. Soon a couple more of them had shown up and surrounded the one other man here. They all seemed fairly attractive in his tastes but as far as he was concerned they were still the enemy but he wasn't going to steal a fight from another person so he decided to wait until the fight began and finished.

OOC sorry for shortness im on a mental block today

Noctis felt himself calm down back to his normal state though he was still in a little bit of excitement from the fight. He turned around and saw a couple female ninja talking to the other man. They looked not much older then himself. He approached them but kept his distance to a safe location. "Now..Who are you" he pointed to the man in the middle of them, he was a little rude interrupting theyre conversation but he needed to leave soon if he was to find some of his family members.

It had been a long walk, under the noon day sun, from the coast; especially in the still dripping wet clothes, which made a trail of droplets behind the man as he walked. The man paused on the side of the road; he took off his hat and wrung out some of the water onto the ground. A small puddle formed reflecting the priest’s mildly disgusted face. He hated this kind of situation, all dressed up and no where to go.

Down the road a ways, a clatter of wheels on the road alerted the young priest to the passage of a wagon of some sort. With dubious hope, the man walked out into the middle of the road his wet shoes squeaking as he did, but his legs betrayed him. A quick stab in the ground with the end of his staff saved him from the indignity of falling down. Get a hold of yourself! You are the representative of Mael here, get your act together. With this conservation in his head, the priest straightened up and relaxed. It was almost an after thought that his hand went up with its palm faced outward toward the direction of the sound, a seemingly futile gesture to stop.

The wagon was driving hard down the road; it was almost too late before the driver saw the stranger in the road. A sharp pull on the reins, thankfully, stopped the wagon. The two horses ,who were reined together, were less then a foot away from the young priest who had his eyes closed. The driver scratched at his balding with a hand as looked down at the stranger who had the audacity to stop his wagon, “Do you need a ride?” asked the old man in between chewing on some tobacco.

The priest had his eyes shut tightly, hoping to not get ran over by the wagon. At the sound of the wagon driver’s question, the young man opened his eyes, relief evident, to stare at the balding man up on the driver’s seat. “Yes, I need a ride, but first, where are you going?” The balding man figured the youngster was not much of a threat and after spitting a long stream of tobacco juice onto the side of the road answered, “I am heading to Rain. If that’s where you are going hop on.” The answer seemed to satisfy the young priest, “Thank you sir.” He replied back as he walked around to the back of the wagon and hopped on amidst bales of hay. The driver wondered at the foreign accent, but simply shrugged it off and took up the reins again. A sharp crack echoed and the wagon was off again, racing down the road.

The wagon clattered down the road, the balding man squinted in to the distance, attempting to penetrate a sudden fog bank. The priest looked out at the thick fog with moderate surprise. Cover? Looks like Mael has decided to provide his protection to me, his nemesis and yet strangely devoted follower. Maybe it’s because we are so much alike! The fog cleared as unexpectedly as it appeared. Or not so much alike.

The wagon suddenly stopped within sight of the village, a faint whiff of fire, smoke, ashes, and a hint of spilled blood was scented by the priest in the back of the wagon. So! I am not the only invader today! Hopefully the company will be more talkative then the driver. The priest hopped back out the wagon and made his way to where the driver sat, once again scratching his balding head in confusion and concern. “Good fellow, this is far enough. Go back to your family, today is not yet over.” The old man visibly whitened at this remark and with a nervous last look at the village he snapped the reigns with shaky hands and headed back from where he came, faster than he normally would if that was possible.

The priest ignored the wagon as it sped off and instead began to walk to the village, confidence in every step. It was this stride which carried the priest through the fire, the bodies, and all the chaos of the citizenry to the middle of the village where two groups were faced off. And it was this stride that strode past one group into the space between them. He looked at both groups, then planted his staff into the ground by his side and declared, “My name is Amanas Ruse and I claim this village for the sea.”
