Safe For The Moment....

Ejiki figured heading into the city was a hell of a bad idea, and instead kept running, her sight coming back about half-way to Taki. She looked around, everything in her peripheral vision slowed to a crawl and the color red and black. She had to find somewhere quick, lest she drop here. Though she didn't want to, she ran into the swamp, trying to find a clearing of some sorts she could set her family down.

She stopped in the middle of the swamp, and set her family down. It was then she noticed that Uson's entire body was shocked. Badly. Oh god, she had to do something...Wait. She could.
"Oh, please forgive me for this."
She quickly dropped to her knees, her breathing heavy from running so much, and stared down at him.

Oh, please let this work.

Ejiki pressed her lips against Uson's, the feeling vaguely familiar, and began forcing the lightning chakra out of him and into her, being careful not to take any of his chakra. Once this task was done, she sat up, and felt a sudden bang in her body. What-

"Oh shit."

Those two words were all she managed to get out before she keeled over. She had too much lightning in her body and no way to discharge it, so it was attacking her system. She closed her eyes and bit down on her lip as her heart started slowing down.

Well, isn't THIS a bitch?

'You got that right...'
Well, she went down helping him, she guessed. Not too bad a way to go down. Ejiki looked up at Uson as her Mad Rush ended and smiled.
"...See ya. Be a good father, and sorry for what I did."

The shock combined from the excess lightning her headphones couldn't absorb along with the sudden rejection from her Mad Rush's aftereffect combined. Ejiki stopped breathing, closed her eyes, and dropped.

Well, well, and well, wasn't this annoying.
His entire body was racked by quite a few rather painful and annoying shocks and here and there. An embarrassing hardness in the pants as a result that had absolutely NOTHING with being carried around, yep nothing at all.
Well when this rather unfortunate encounter was over, and Kaku had finally got the strength to open up his little eyes he looked upon a different land.
So what was new? He had a means to get our of this rather sticky situation they'd gotten into. Chakra was their problem right? He had a certain pet that couldn't get enough of the stuff. So where was this useful creature?
The answer was within him, and now he would allow it free rein for a while, he'd let it leech off his chakra and hopefully take out the nasty stuff that was keeping him here.

Now a single piece of paper would flutter forwards, drifting from Kakus body. On it's surface was inscribed a symbol, with nary a flick of thought, the paper disappeared from view as it was consumed with white smoke.
Perhaps a small smile creased the boys forehead as he recognized the familiar chuckling, and from this cloud, came the form of the legendary sword. The most fearsome of the Seven Swordsmen; Shamehada.
The little piece of paper latched itself to the handle of the great blade, and directing it through this connection the sword was brought over to Kaku, although the sword was doing more of the moving then the paper.

Regardless it soon reached Kaku, and once again at the paper's direction began to latch onto Kaku, with this method he would let the sword drain out the paralyzing chakra and through the swords connection with the paper, re-consume the chakra the sword was willing to give up. Although that wasn't much, besides the sword would soon be sealed within him again so it was no biggie.
Very quickly movement began returning to Kaku's limbs, which previously had been like stone. Using some of the amount he had remaining, re-sealed the chakra hungry sword, within himself.
Although as soon as the paper piece rejoined Kaku it became apparent that he still had a fair bit left, enough to cast decently ranking Ninjutsu, would it fall on him to defend his currently unconscious family?

Yup.

Xin Li Hyuuga eyes stayed wothdrawn from the illumination. His anatomy was sore and a tad bit strained. He heart was warm as he could hear the sound of two beating hearts one significgantly slower. The breath becoming lighter with each second until it washed away in the breeze. His son had removed the chakra from his body effectively making every foreign chakra neutral. Xin Li opened his eyes and reviewed the death of his kin. Indeed the beast that attacked his family had given a wrath of maleovence in his heart. An orb of white chakra renounced itself from Uson and injected it bio into Ejiki. Uson could once again hear the heartbeat of his dynasty as two hearts instead of one. The female Hyuuga would be resurected before them in perfect health her time was not over. The Tatanari would be a victim soon. Only time would remain as Xin Li was not yet fully recovered Uson felt his lips and noticed lipstick upon him. He looked at Kakushin and began to laugh as the ground below them shook violently from joviality.

It felt like she was swimming. Swimming in black, nothing to see. The feeling was somewhat familiar....

Wake up!

...What the fuck...was that?

Wake the hell up!

NO. OH GOD NO. WHY WAS THIS DAMN THING HERE?! Hadn't she had ENOUGH done? Ejiki blinked as she saw light, bright and warm and all around her.

Wake the fuck up, ya goddamn idiot, and apologize to your cousins for accidentally hurting them/turning them on!

....Say WHAT?
Lightning coursed through Ejiki's headphones as it jump-started her body awake, and her eyes widened as she jumped up, taking a few rapid breaths as she looked around a little frantically. What the...
"...Huh...?"

How was she still alive?! Her system had failed....And then she heard it. Like bells, like something precious and something she thought lost. She heard Uson laughing. The ground vibrated with the noise, but still it was there.
"...Thank. God. You guys are alright..."
It was said more to herself than anything else, and though she was in perfect health to stand, she didn't want to at the moment. She just simply wanted to lay there, taking a moment to indulge in the joy that he seemed to have. It was a little contagious. What she failed to notice was her lipstick on Uson's mouth.

What was it about near death situations that played havoc with your sense of humor? Well it certainly came into play right now. Did that mean when those dead soldiers saw the Pearly White Gates they broke up into screaming laughter? Maybe so. Maybe not. He'd find out one day though, Kaku would either live forever, or go down in battle. It was his way of looking at life.
Well now they where all back together, and each of them seemed pretty healthy despite their recent exposure to daemonic shock therapy. Kaku was never going back to those places again, these cramps where annoying.
Anyway now Kakusan was sitting up again and looking around, indeed walking around, and he was bright eyed and bushy tailed as the saying went.
Now he had one question to be answered, why the heck was Father's lips red? Turning his body around he looked for this mysterious kisser, before alighting on the girl who had saved them. His cousin. His Father's Cousin. Go figure.
Kakusan collapsed in a heap his mind thinking over the texts on incest. You had to take pity on him, he was beetroot red and breathing very heavily.
Was getting kissed[raped] a cause for laughter? Kaku hoped not, otherwise he had no idea why Father was laughing or indeed himself as he began to chuckle, a light sounding trill that quickly escalated into the sort of laughing that makes you pound the ground with your fists and your ribs feel like they're going up your throat.

So what would happen now? It looked like they where somewhere different, and OMG! Was that a mosquito on his hand? The vile critter PAY! Slamming his hand onto the blood sucking creature, Kuku looked at the red liquid flowing from the vanquished bug. And once again the giggles over took him and he was once again on the ground laughing his guts, and anything in the stomach out. Not that he was going to throw up or anything.
Not at all.
Although it would be a good idea for him to breath sometime soon, Shinobi can only go without breath for a limited time.
But it was cause for celebration after all, wasn't a little light-headedness acceptable?

The hollow eruption of Xin Li audio melody began ebb. The underfooting returned to a dormant state. Uson's birth of chortle was indeed still alive. His son was a little more erect today. He had something known as morning wood or prehaps something else. Uson visage held beam captive upon his lips. His palms covered his mouth as he desperately tried to suppress his laughter once more. He couldn't help but notice his lips were scarlet like Ejiki's. His renosance of joviality had been exsponged as he peered at his kin. Xin Li's eyes bulged and he blushed heavily with fear. His mouth opened and Uson went into a method of abash. He could no longer move his body physically. He just stood there in freeze frame.

" She... did it.... she did it AGAIN! The hell is her problem! She is just made pact with me again... AND OMG my son has a boner!"

The Head Hyuuga's legs began to give out and he fainted hitting the ground. It would take a while to sink in. A water tech would help bring him back to reality.

Ejiki sighed, a bit of a smile trying to pry at her lips. Well, today couldn't get any worse. She stood up, only to feel a sudden shock and noticeably twitched, lightning crackling around her.
"...."
She kinda hoped that wasn't noticed. She immediately felt her head twitch again, and made a small noise of discomfort. The lightning was still coursing through her at a rather...unsettling rate. Not enough to kill her anymore, at least. To test how bad it was, she curiously touched a nearby mosquito and freaked out as the poor thing was zapped, murdered within a second. Oh yeah, she could NOT touch her family at the moment.

And then Uson went face-first on the ground.

"What the fu-"
She stopped herself as she found her body moving to help him, and mentally slapped herself.
"...I take it...neither of you are in condition to move at the moment."
She figured that out through two things.
One, they just had the crap tasered out of them.
Two...Kakusan had a noticeable lump somewhere she was not obligated to say.
"...Stupid question. Uhm....Right, what to do...."
She failed to notice that any and all insects that happened to get within four inches of her were zapped, and fell to the ground, smoking. Touching her was NOT the best idea at the moment as she rubbed her temples trying to figure out what to do about getting them out.

Well what was this curious lump? It had suddenly appeared and was feeling rather....constrained within his tight Victoria garments.
So now he had to get rid of the availing lump, and he couldn't even look under his shirt to get a decent look at what was causing the said lump.
But with the rather unexpected twitches of a few parts of his body now and then, he decided that it was caused by the remains of the electrical chakra injected into his opponent. So now it was mostly gone, but still some remained, and look at this, the butterfly given to him by the nice girl Arashi was still here.
Wait a second, stay off ma lump! He picked it off the said lump and put it back on his shoulder. What was that girl doing? Her thoughts where followed by the butterflies, and her thoughts where now on lumps in mens trousers. What was she doing?
The thoughts weren't comfortable and soon persisted into nothingness.

A noticeable thump brought Kaku back to RL, he turned his head and saw his Father on the ground. Well he could take a nap that was fine. Looking back at his lump he frowned, puzzled by it. Why wouldn't it go away. Whenever he tried to force it down with his mind all it did was twitch. So damn frustrating!
Eventually he simply dissolved the limb into paper, thus nullifying the threat of a poking attack.

He stood up and addressed his cousin, "What do you believe our next move should be cousin?" As he waited for her to reply he promptly ground-spear-tackled his Father, rolling them both over. Hopefully the sudden impact would wake him up.

Uson body felt a sudden conflict with his solar plexus. His soon had dive-bombed into his torso. Uson gasped as the air forced itself from his lungs. Hyuuga,Uson stood erect and began a metamorphis into a shinobi. Uson assumed his son wanted to learn a new jutsu. As a puppet master Kakushin was naturally gifted for mid to long range combat, but what was Kakushin skill in close combat? Uson didn't have a clue what Kakushin could do but, was about to find out. Ejiki was goong to learn as well. Uson began forming a set of handsign and produced a light green sphere of chakra. The orb dashed forward zipping between Kakushin legs. The enity vanashied and reappeared beside Ejiki. It was a wind clone. Uson custom technique. Would his child be able to master this jutsu? Uson prefomed the signs slowly so Kaku could repeat.

Four hours had passed and Uson had been training Ejiki in a simple breathing technique he had developed. Maybe she could make use of it? All Xin Li could do was show them. The rest was up to them.

Ejiki had NO time to comprehend what just happened. Between Kakusan turning his erection into paper, dive-bombing Uson, Uson standing up and forming handsigns, then launching god knows WHAT at V, and then a clone of him appearing next to her, she was completely stupified. She debated running off when Uson suddenly began trying to....teach her. A breathing technique? What?

She had been confused beyond words at first when Uson was teaching her. It seemed pointless until she started feeling her senses sharpening. She could feel the things around her, and heard their heartbeats through her headphones, the music drowned out. The sensation was...nice, to say that. And she had managed to keep her damn mouth shut the entire time, which was an accomplishment, considering how her conscious loved to antagonize her. She mumbled a thanks to him, aware that he was still trying to train his son. This...could actually help with her deformity. She wouldn't be completely handicapped like before.

But her parents still would never accept her, would they? Never take her back in. Never call her their daughter. The thoughts were incredibly depressing, enough that she teared up a little. All she wanted to hear from them, all she had ever wanted was three words. Three words she would never get. Not from them, nor anyone else.

Get your act together. You don't have time to have the world revolve around you.

'It doesn't, but I am damn well ALLOWED to wallow in misery every now and then. You can't drown me in guilt ALL the time.'
Ejiki walked a few ways off, getting just out of [what she assumed was] hearing distance of the two. She felt like screaming. So, she did something similar to it. She slammed her fists on one of the trees, lightning coursing through and murdering the poor thing as she channeled all her rage into it. The bark instantly turned black and the leaves withered into tiny crisps of their former glory.
"...Fuck my life..."
She rested her head on the tree, a few tears coming out as she gazes out into the swamp. It felt so hopeless sometimes. So absolutely hopeless. Anguish was the word, maybe? Was there any way to fix the stupid things she had done? It wasn't presenting itself to her, if there was.

Well now, what was this? Father and Son performing a feat of strength and balance, for as Uson had risen up, the Son has no relinquished his grasp. And now was performing a gravity defying feat, with his body parallel to the ground. He held it for a few seconds before a very large quiver went through his body and Kakusan collapsed to the ground, his frame shaking slightly.
Suddenly sensing the situation he was in, Kakusan clambered to his feet, and the young child like person who had recently been huggling his Father, was no more. Standing in his place was a shinobi powerful in his own right, and proud to be so, proud to be standing next to his Father, and somehow managing to look dignified with most of his face covered in dirt.
He watched in macabre fascination as he looked at what his Father was doing, the avatars of the zodiac creatures flashed momentarily, at least a few of the animals where shown, the rest stayed hidden.

Now something wondrous happened in direct continuation of zodiac creatures. Whirling around was a small sphere of green chakra. Green was generally produced from wind chakra, or Fuuton techniques, so Kaku deduced that this must be so. He glanced at it critically for a second, the only other option open to him was Medical Ninjutsu, but since he wasn't skilled in those areas he didn't see the purpose of the ball of wind if it was indeed Medically inclined. Since his Father was kept in rather constant updates about his son's progress, Kaku doubted that Uson didn't know such. So it must be a Fuuton Technique.

A small grin flashed across his face as he saw it dance and then vanish through his legs. It stopped next to his Cousin and Kaku laughed as it turned into a replica of his Father standing next to his Cousin. So it was a clone, the usual Clone Jutsu with Wind Chakra, but as soon as Kakusan tried to replicate the hand seals he knew something was off. Frowning he looked at the feeling and decided upon something. It took a while as he repeated the seals over and over again, until he knew the feeling for sure. It was like a dry well; the sound it makes. This happened as soon as he was finishing the first few seals, roughly mid-way. The reasoning behind this was simple and made him especially grateful for the use of Hand Seals. Hand Seals where there to control the amount of chakra molded and how it was molded, and there was a familiar feeling as the use of the hand seals pulled up the chakra required, sort of like filling the mold that was going to be baked. Half way through the set, he found he didn't have enough clay, if he'd tried to bake it, he'd have died.

"My Chakra supply isn't large enough to perform the Technique Father."
Tied within his voice was the disappointment of failing to meet his Father's wishes, his expectations.
He stood there, awaiting his Father's disciplined silence to ring upon his ears. Perhaps Kaku could be taught whatever his Cousin was learning, he didn't mind brushing up on close combat anyway.

Uson's clone continued the breathing jutsu with Hyuuga Ejiki. She seemed to be understanding the basics but was far from mastering the technique. Fuuton Uson could hear the the slight sobs of the Hyuuga vixen as the streams of inundation rolled from her optics. He began to tap his sound melody speaker attempting to see how great her hearing was, but in her low state of depression it would be a wonder if she was even able to notice, if he was there.

Oh,well Xin Li looked at his prince. His pride was placing an ardus endeavor to profit from this. He failed, he tried again, and failed. Maybe he needed a push. Something to boost him a lil. Reaching into the left side of his pouch Xin Li wirhdrew something black and oval. It was a soldier pill. He tossed the object towards Kakushin expecting him to grasp it. Once he absorbed the provision he should be able to train for three days and three nights. To motivate him, Uson placed an explosive tag upon his before his feet. Fail again? One of them would lose a limb.

Ejiki's ears picked up the noise and she slowly looked up to hear...a rather annoying sound. She let go of the poor victimized tree and backed away, slowly heading back to her kin, and took a deep breath, forcing herself to be composed when her heart spoke otherwise, and sat near the edge of the father and son's training area. This....seemed....dangerous.

Wait, was he giving Kakusan a pill?!

The girl almost lept up, but FORCED herself down. It had to be for a good reason. Uson was a well-intentioned extremist sometimes. She sighed inaudibly and closed her eyes, practicing the breathing technique once more, slightly calmed by the sound of three heartbeats resounding in her ears. It was...nice. Her headphones slowly fell to her shoulders as she sat, legs crossed one over the other, meditating. She could....see, even with her eyes closed, a mosquito landing on a tree nearby. She smiled a little, appreciative of the developing ability.

No need to be a mood-killer now.

Well as Kakusan's head was still down when the pill was tossed towards him, he didn't see it until it was about to impact into the soil. Immediately Kakusan pointed a finger at it, and the pills descent halted. Why? Because wrapped around the pill was a slender blue thread. Which was only visible to the special eyes granted through DNA.
With a twitch of the said finger, the pill slid through the air towards Kakusan, his face one of passive interest. Upon closer inspection he found it to be a Soldier Pill, Father's intention was clear, this gift would allow Kaku the chakra to perform the technique, without dying.

Regaining the poise that benefited someone of his rather lacking height, he without further ado, swallow the pill, crunching slightly on it's bitter taste he felt the carefully cultivated nutrients swirl around him and into his stomach. This wasn't his first time with these pills, much of his earlier childhood had been spent taking these pills.
Glancing towards his King, his Father had raised the stakes, a bomb of paper lay at his feet, most children would have freaked and left, but to Kakusan this was a demonstration of trust, to give Kakusan the permission to the responsibility of both their lives.
He could not fail again.

Taking up a more relaxed stance, the figures of the required zodiac where invoked and lo and behold, the feeling of dry well had gone, instead was a heady rush of energy, and next to Kakusan, a ball began to swirl, this was difficult work as the young Genin struggled to hold it into it's existence, and maintain the elemental and physical composition that where required.
Soon the ball began to cease it's tremors and smoothed out, become more....stable was the word. And with the application of further chakra the ball exploded, and like a figure appearing from a blown mist stood Kaku, who smiled before vanishing once again.
He had not failed, but at what price?

Kakushin had completed and aqcurued an A-Rank Technique. Kakushin had his own shadow clone to help him smooth along his training. He had mastered one of the five jutsu he was going to teach him today. Uson had begun molding chakra as he formed a new existence of handsigns. It gave birth to a dark blue. It swirled with ration chakra. Unlike the fuuton clone this jutsu could not stay in ball form nor was it half as fast. This bushin was for something else. The raiton clone walked over towards Ejiki. Her break was over she was to learn this Raition Kage Bushin. The clone removed her river of tears upon her face he had no need for weakness at this time. She was going to be a head mistress of the clan after all, but not with such weakness.

Fuuton Uson walked over to his master and placed two open palms beside Li's left palm. Uson had already mastered this technique, but the Wind Rasengan. Prefomed by Kaku might need a set of four hands. Hopefully he would catch the hint.

Ejiki blinked as this clone, one she was able to identify as being of her own elemental affinity, wiped away tears she hadn't even noticed remained in existence on her face. She stood up, her meditation over, and examined the clone, tilting her head a bit as she examined the clone carefully. Hmm...It should be simple, as she began trying out the handsigns Uson had created in order to birth the clone.

After two tries without a spark, the third one sprung, lightning molding and forming and breaking off, turning into a being of its own. Ejiki smiled as the sensation happened, then looked over to her side as the new being took shape, forming into a mirror version of her. She turns to the clone, taking a step back, and watched as it mimicked perfectly. It had taken more than one try, but she had gotten it, and with this in mind, looked back over towards the clone of Uson, awaiting judgement from either this mirror image or the real one.

She felt more positive, that was for sure. And as she slowly put her headphones back on, just out of habit, she watched as Kakusan was being bea- ....trained, to master a Rasengan. THAT....would prove interesting.

Hmm, Kakusan turned his attention to the hovering ball of wind beside him, it's depths seemed so close yet so far. He vaguely wondered how this would feel if he placed his palm within the ball. He never had time to commit to the stupid act as once again, Father's sheer presence in this lonely world beckoned his attention.

Now within the void of Uson's palm, a ball similar to the one hovering beside him, came into existence, there where no Hand Seals needed for this, Kaku noted, it was completely based within one's chakra control. He clenched his fist tight as he memorized the pattern for the way in which it was formed, now it was time. Placing his own fist in front of him, his clone sprang into existence, two young grins as they stood there, as Kakusan slowly began to project chakra into his palm, this was going to be a very tiring process, indeed Kakusan would be dead by now without the support from the pills.
The clone began to move it's hands in a motion similar to how Uson's Clone had done, and then Kakusan began to add his own chakra affinity to the mix, forcing it into existence.
However this didn't appear to work as with the sudden rush of chakra, the thing was moved aside and exploded, Kakusan's Wind Clone simply went with it before reappearing, Kaku had kept his feet by sticking them to the ground with chakra.

This time he repeated the process, using the clone, and adding one crucial element. Paper. Paper swirled of his hand and added to the ball, using this as additional stabilization, the ball now was taking shape a quicker rate. And after a few minutes of carefully adding layers of chakra, the final version stood there, ready to blow something up.
To an observer it would have appeared suddenly, as the paper obscured the view.
Kakusan's next thought was....'Where do I get to smash this?'

Xin Li smiled. Everthing was going as well. Kakushin and Ejiki were showing much promise. His youngest seemed to express joy by stating he didn't know what to blow up. Fuuton Xin Li transformed into a shpere of light green chakra and dropped directly 5 meters from Kakushin. It resumed it second metamorpis. It withdrew it right palm and attempted to smack the back of Kakushin's cerbal cortex. Hopefully he was fast enough to destroy the dopple ganger with his new jutsu. In order to strike the clone in a counter strike he might have to turn around to do so. Uson walks over to Ejiki as he lives the young prince and his clone to deal with the new threat.

Xin Li closed his eyes and listened to the beat of Ejiki's heart.

"They are progressing well. Especially Kakushin. He has mastered so much. I am proud of both of them.

Xin Li wished he could bestow his tongue upon them, but with his voice it wasn't possible yet.

Ejiki dissipated her clone as she watched Uson use his clone as a means of a challenge towards Kakusan, and watched with her arms crossed. Uson stood next to her, a bit of a surprise, and she forced her heartbeat to remain neutral. If she could hear other's pulses, he could as well, and she didn't need him knowing-

That you're in love with him?

Ejiki remained neutral and took a deep breath as she watched Kakusan.
'You know...you're really fucking annoying.'

I feel so complimented. AND you didn't deny it. WELCOME TO STAGE TWO.

Ejiki felt her annoyance spike up a bit, but kept it down as she lowered her head a little, muttering.
"Sorry, Hyuuga-sama. And thank you for teaching me."

Well this was unexpected, but it was deal-able with nonetheless. With this new technique, it was probably a one shot at destroying the clone that was now rapidly intercepting it's palm towards Kakusan's dead, at least that was what he presumed from what his Clone had mumbled at him in fast talk at his auditory receptor.
So now, Kakusan quickly handed the Clone the ball of energy as the Clone proceeded to kick his owner out of harms way, and attack directly from the side, and showing an aptitude for quick thinking, Kakusan was coming at him from the side he'd previously came from, in boxing in the clone, it was a tight thing to pull off, and if it worked Uson's Clone would be reduced to a lower body.
If Father's Clone managed to avoid the movement from Kaku's Clone he would find himself on the remissness end of Kakusan's own recently created rasengan, the paper still providing support for the structure. Admittedly this was very difficult on Kaku, even with the Solider Pill enhancing his system.
His breathing was heavy and the slight sheen pf perspiration was clear on his brow.

Fuuton Uson had almost smacked the back of Kaku's head, but his clone moved swiftly in response. It gave a powerful side shuffle kick to the puppet master. The girl beside Uson tried to lower her heart pace. She was trying to hide something. Xin Li released a jutsu of authority easily takinh out the fuuton clones in one large invisble sphere of chakra. They were gone leaving a whisk of zepher pulling in a mass of emptiness. Xin Li stared at Ejiki and Kakushin. He released his former jutsu creating a space for them. This would be the last jutsu they would be forced to learn. Uson preformed a ram seal placing it towards his chest as his opposite arm went towards the ground. A very bright avatar appeared around Uson. It held 1000 arms and seemed to be in a trance. Preforming more signs a mass of 20,000 clones appeared around Ejiki and Kakushin. One Uson stepped forward and blew up in a mass of kinetic energy. Uson got ready to blow Ejiki and his son up, if they couldn't destroy the clones with the 1000 Armed jut

Ejiki saw the technique, and then the...ridiculous amount of clones surrounding them. Then she saw the intent surrounding Uson. ...HE WAS GOING TO BLOW THEM UP?! DEAR LORD, This man was a BRUTAL teacher! She quickly turned her headphones on, forcing herself to concentrate as the lightning coursed through her body. She copied the exact motions her cousin had made, forming a Ram seal to her chest and placing her opposite hand on the ground. As the chakra began flowing out, Ejiki practically screamed at her body to make it work.

Determination is something I haven't seen in you in a while, you know.

The chakra lit up, forming into an avatar slightly different from his, but ending in the same result as thousand armed guardian its eyes closed and its hands hugging its body. The Avatar looked like...someone familiar, as if looking at oneself in a mirror, seeing something foreign yet feeling the sense of recognition. It resembled something or a broken Saint, glowing in a radient light, but resonating off...guilt. Ejiki, her demeanor switching to annoyance for the scenario was quite familiar from a nightmare she had had many a time, motioned for the spirit to attack. Immediately, the Saint changed from its angelic state to that of a demon, resembling something of a crow, black feathers flying around her as the thousand hands lashed out and Ejiki brutally destroyed her half before Uson decided it'd be fun to overcharge her system again.

Wow, now look at all these Clones of Father. It looked like he'd suddenly spawned a ton of babies. 20,000 babies was impressive indeed.
But now Kakusan had a technique to deal with all of them, at least so he thought. However, unlike Uson and Ejiki, he didn't have the vast amounts of chakra they could draw on at a moments notice, he was still struggling to properly utilize the Solider Pill, as all the other times he'd been given the, they where little more then something to keep him alive for a little longer.
Now he was doing it all over again and he'd come to a realization, he'd die if he completed this jutsu, there was that dry feeling towards the end. He was definitely running out of chakra. So what to do? Improvisational talent was a strong point for Kakusan. If you couldn't hit it with your hands, you just got a tool to hit it with. And since the jutsu Uson had just shown them was based around 'hands' he couldn't really find the resolve to toss his own version of the spirit at them. He would in a second, but not just yet. That was of course assuming there where any left after he unleashed his next attack.
Within a second after the appearance of the clones, Kakusan's left arm released a small paper, on it was inscribed a symbol. A Generic Sealing Technique, no more, no less. And immediately afterwards, a mighty red dragon was release from the paper. Ten strings of chakra latched onto the Puppet, mobilizing it and giving birth to a the apocalyptic event that was about to occur. The dragon threw all four of it's wings forwards, they roared in the direction of the mass of clones and from their tips was breathed a breeze of death and destruction.
And this gale would sweep upon the Clones, attempting to destroy each of them, he made sure to live up to his Father's wishes...in part. As after the tormenting gale was unsealed on the poor clones, he too made the Hand Seals required to bring forth the avatar of his soul. This wasn't by any means as beautiful or as majestic as either Ejiki's or Uson's, indeed it reflected the torment that played within the young boy's heart, and unleashed it upon the front rows of the remaining clones, for it didn't take the appearance of one animal, but twisted in writhed it it's own agony and seemed to lash out with sharpened feathers, hooves, claws, talons, teeth. It's form was constantly changing as was it's method if attack. It was terrible to behold and mighty to perceive. Gathering himself for one last assault he left forwards, screaming his own war cry and the demon followed suit, the dragon too, rushed forwards, it wings beating again and again. Creating tormenting twister after another.

((ENTER))
Jana would enter the area a ways away after she had heard a lot of noise. She had been out running for days on in and wanted some way to rest. She was tired from her search for the Hyuuga house and didn't have time to even sleep most of this time. She wore her black shinobi outfit with her hair in two strands and her weapons about her body. She kept the letter in hand with a small name of a Hyuuga inside it that she had recieved and caused such a horrid hunt in the first place of her. She would perform a handsign to release her Chakra Sensory jutsu that would allow her to sense things in a 25 meter radius as she would feel clones to the right and ahead along with three people who were not clones as she would run that direction. She would hurry towards that direction focusing her eyes in the direction hoping it were the Hyuuga as she would feel a large mass of chakra matched with two smaller ones as she ran right in the center of it as her purple eyes would look to see the massive amount of clones as she also saw the three people. She would sigh with happiness and quite possibly wasn't noticed by any of them but the more powerful shinobi as she would note the ten or so clones just around her as she would give a proper greeting, that being the 8 trigrams rotation jutsu, as she would then feel the rotation spread to hit at least 20 clones in the space around her as they would either blow up or be flung back and now her presence would be known as she would slump into the ditch she made with her rotation as she had a light smile and eyes that were kind as she would keep the chakra pulsing in her incase she'd be hunted again.

(Ore, SANJOU!)

A simple morning job. Thats all Riku was on. The jog that he did every morning at about 5 A.M. Even if he had to work that day he still did it. But this morning it was different. He had a pretty damn big boulder on his back. He was doing this for two reasons. One: He wanted to increase his leg strength. Two: He reasoned that if he could run fast with a giant boulder on his back, he could run FASTER without the giant boulder on his back. He was doing this so he could become stronger and faster. There was nothing more that he wanted to do more than to better himself. Right now, he was running the entire length of the beach right beside the ocean. He had secured the boulder using some old rope he had found in the back of his grandmothers shop. The boulder had added at least an extra 80 pounds to his body. It hadn't even been an hour since he had start, and his ENTIRE body was already sore, especially his legs. It felt like they were about to explode. The lactic acid buildup in his legs were killing him! But he had to go for another 30 minutes.

But he had also made some trials along the way to help his body. A good run wouldn't do anything without a good challenge behind it. He had cut some logs earlier for his grandmother, and there was some excess. He used a twig system to activate a landslide of logs up ahead, which he had to dodge or get rolled over by the logs. He liked the first choice instead of the latter. Hopefully he would be able to do it. He felt the twig trip and heard the logs (and rocks) falling down the hill, his legs burning like someone had set them on fire, but his tenacity not allowing him to give up. He didn't want to be flattened after all. He jumped on one of the logs, though his legs begged him not to, and jumped from log to log, sweat rolling down his face. They were big logs, but there weren't many of them. But it would hurt like hell to be smushed by a boulder/rolled over by a log. He kept running, finally making it to the other side of the first trap. So far so good. There were several more traps waiting in store for him, he knew it.

But then...something weird in front of him. Twenty clones, and many different people he did not know. The boulder on his back had fallen off, and his clothes were frayed and dirty from overuse. He was sweating, cuts all over his body, his skin having ripped from muscle exertion. Then, his body shook, memories flowing through his head now that his body wasn't working, tears running down his face. He was walking forward with a stagger, unaware of the danger.
