Ongoing footsteps, shielded in silence with the proper footing, would allow the creator to successfully continue his trek from behind the lot while the doppelganger faced their attention. Position did not matter however, for the dopplegangers main purpose would have sealed all their fates in one moment.

Had they been more anxious to notproceeding in engaging in combat with the Root Clone, they would all have been spared. In fact – a chance had been given to them the moment he’d appeared. To the clones back, only one kunoichi stood out of sight of the doppelganger whilst the others faced his left and right – but, neigh, it mattered not.

The first reaction, coming from the dopplegangers left, would be noted from two locations. First and foremost, the doppelganger would have noticed the movement of the arm coming from his peripheral, which had not been cut off from view from his porcelain mask, in fact, being that he chose to stand in the center of the lot, around 2 – 3 meters or so away from each of them, he would have seen even the slightest of movements without even moving.

Secondly, from a diagonal standpoint the creator of this doppelganger would have seen it all coming as well. The first motion, the upbringing of the nodaichi blade with a sack attached to its bottom, would have given Oashishu probable cause to engage; knowing that these men and women were lethal, and needed to be dealt with immediately was the only trigger the doppleganger needed to proceed.

Whatever it was the lot of them were planning for reaction to the appearance of the doppelganger would have all been halted within the second the blade had been risen into the air. With but a single seal, originating from the doppelganger itself, a mighty explosion would take place covering a 15 meter range enveloping them all within a cataclysmic boom. So swift that none of them would be able to react quick enough to have escaped.

The explosion itself has said to bend metal and destroy forests at whim, and being that the clone had managed to make it so close to them it was hard to say what condition they would be in within but seconds of the aftermath. Their bodies would surely be rendered useless if they weren’t already torn limb from limb. The creator, the Hokage himself, mirrored the doppelganger in every way within it’s first appearance. His footsteps would slowly but surely have dragged him closer to the group of vigilante whom were surely laying dormant around a pile of charred log and cut leaves.

Zzt. “Get the rest of ANBU down here. I have some bodies to dispose of.”

¹ Bunshin Bakuha (Shadow Clone Explosion)
Rank: A
Type: Offensive / Ninjutsu / Kinjutsu
Range: 15 meter diameter explosion
Chakra: Very High
Special: Initially, only one clone can be detonated at a time. When re-learned, one additional clone may be exploded simultaneous with each purchase. Forfeits all forms of chakra return from clones to user.
Description: A follow up technique to the regular Kage Bunshin, Bunshin Bakuha is an advanced ninjutsu technique utilized by highly skilled and ranked shinobi in order for them to detonate a regular Shadow Clone at impressive levels. Once a normal Kage Bunshin is created, the user can detonate the clone at any time to form a very large explosion. The entire amount of chakra left within the clone forms the energy behind the blast, and although it lacks fiery properties, the sudden blast and subsequent implosion/explosion phase is enough to blast through rock easily, leaving serious dents in steel/metal creations
Domain: Kage Bunshin.

Akumu's fear-driven reaction accidentally flung what would've been their food for the night towards the mans face. In noticing his mask, Yokai quickly realized that a small protion of his vision wouldn't been cut off, namely the corners and his peripheral vision. Nevertheless, he noticed the openingand channeled his chakra with a speedy gate while his right hand looped around from his back and pointed all four fingers in its direction.

First and foremost, the doppelganger would have noticed the movement of the arm coming from his peripheral, which had not been cut off from view from his porcelain mask, in fact, being that he chose to stand in the center of the lot, around 2 – 3 meters or so away from each of them, he would have seen even the slightest of movements without even moving.

ooc: The first thing your doppleganger notices is the arm coming from your peripheral....somehow in the near pitch black night without the use of your Sharingan....but word. If that's the first thing you notice....even though that arm moving, as is stated, occurs AFTER Yokai notices me fling the rabbit, reacting to it in the time frame you present, becomes impossible. Since the explosion of the doppleganger is done by that same clone, and you already stated that the doppleganger had time to notice Yokai's arm...that means that logically, it couldn't have noticed the arm before it formed the seal to detonate itself....as it would have already been detonated. Derp. Meaning my rabbit, flung from only 2 meters away from you and aimed to

intercept him just beneath the chin, a little bit above his hands.

...you're clone is hit by the body of poor Mr. Rabbit, at about the point it tries to form the handseals, constituting the 'solid hit' necessary to disperse it. Of course, even if that's not enough...Asami's thrown shuriken were also thrown

a fraction of a second thereafter

meaning.....as the rabbit hits, snikt snikt my nigga, hello mr. shurikens. Gone clone is gone. I don't see your black of night, mask-on reaction time, especially without that nifty sharingan activated, responding to everything perfectly within fractions of a second. And even if you could....mr. shadow clone is smoke far before he is explosion.

Also; the version of shadow clone explosion you quoted is outdated. Explosion is actually only 10 meters. js.

The clone had disappeared in a puff of smoke.....alas! Hit from both sides it would prove itself to be little more than the shadows themselves, which had thrown their surroundings into a most uncomfortable shade of night. Luckily, the defeat of the clone seemed to bring with it, the slow approach of their true enemy. What in tarnation was going on?! Luckily, Akumu's handseals were already complete, and by the time the smoke now throwing those behind it into yet more cover would dissipate, three clones of the young Akumu, made from pure sound itself, had already sprung into existence, and would begin running towards their foe.

They closed in on him from the front and each side at a diagonal, their hands forming steady seals as Akumu, noting the position of their aggressor, backed up via a blurring of steps obscured by the night itself, tracking his distance via the loud entry of feet breaking twigs that signaled their adversaries entrance into the battle. Akumu would place a safe enough distance between himself the man [10 meters], allowing his next maneuver the appropriate amount of space for its execution, as his own hands flickered together in unison. The end was Nai.

It was almost time!

First off.

[/quote]

I reacted from your very first reaction bro, which was the flinging of the projectile. This is why I hinted at noting your arm move. It's because it would have had to move in order for you to throw the object. Everyone else moved AFTER your first movement, which was my sole purpose for attacking the moment YOU moved, because you were the one to react first. [/ul]

Secondly.

^ This further proves the first point. J/s.

It would of course be fast enough and positioned practically enough for the stranger to catch it, of course,

I'm not coming from your left, bro. It's heading, as I stated, STRAIGHT TOWARDS YOU, It's thrown to intercept you under the chin, above your hands, and i'm about two feet shorter than everyone, excluding Taiga...your 'peripherals' ain't sufficient to notice that. Also...i'm interrupting YOUR speech by moving. To be like "he moved....so i responded to that.." word! But you're getting interrupted first. From 2 meters away...even if for some reason I could only throw the rabbit at HALF kunai speeds, its still reaching you in one second. Meaning.....by the time you think "OH, MOVEMENT" youre hit in the face. No sharingan mang. You're not superman.

With the man being struck by both the rabbit and Asami's shuriken, it was very much the expected outcome with how close he had managed to appear before them in the pitch of night, except that instead of falling to his knees, the strange man dispersed into a cloud of smoke, meaning it was a bushin of some sort. The young girl was relieved at this point, they were out of immediate danger, but she still knew prying eyes were very much upon them. Whislt the clone vanished Asami gathered chakra utilizing one shunpo to close the gap to her family, he was out there, but she didn't know how he knew where she was or how he knew they were dangerous or even shinobi at that, since none of them dawned a hiate in view. Turbulent times she guessed. "We should leave, hes probably still out there, watching..."

"A clone. Clever."

The effort behind Akumu's and Asami's assault spoke for itself as the clone quickly dissipated into a harmless cloud of smoke. Previously used as cover, Akumu called upon a trio of clones that were equally eager to shed the blood of their assailant. Strong in their belief that nothing is above family, both Akumu and Yokai refused to forgive those who threaten their own. Nevertheless, as the clones went live and sprung into action in a commanded formation. Leaving Akumu with his fair share of fun, Yokai had plans of his own, most of which only took a second (or two) to perform. His opposite hand flung around to the front to accompany and merge with its counter part, speeding through through a set of seals in a second (quite literally^{tier 1}). Within the next second conjurations of lightning in the shape of sparrows (5) came to life and immediately took off at blinding speeds, lighting up the darkness with flickering blue lights while sharply steering between trees.

Catching speed^(30mps), two sparrows sped in-between Akumu's clones, both of which flew low to the ground aimed for both of the real man's (sohyo) shins. One flew forward, up and over the clones and then back down from straight above their opponent. Lastly, the final two sparrows curved around Akumu's clones, mirroring one another paths of likely travel, so much so that in the blink of an eye, the two managed to converge upon the man's south-east (and west) flank. All sparrows involved were precise and swift in their movements as they attempted to pelt their assailant.

Pausing. This wasn't BM'd yet. Also - you all dont know of my true position, there is no way you could have just blindly attacked me like that.

[marvolous.]

SPOILER: Click to show

First off, I dont know what this documentation shit is, but don't try that crap again. Konohagakure has no jurisdiction outside of the actual village, so there no way you can say everyone entering the entire country is documented for you. That sir, is quite impossible - and honestly quite gay. Anywho, onto the verdict.

I don't see the problem with Sohyo saying he reacted to your arm moving. From what I read, you're standing to the right of Yokai, who also happens to be perched right in front of a fire. Now, while I agree that him instantly reacting to your movement is odd, its not that far-fetched considering he just walked up into a foreign camp and is bound to be at least somewhat paranoid.

Seeing how all he would have to do is make one hand seal to activate the explosion, I'm ruling Sohyo would have enough time to get his technique off. I've talked to others (Genbu) about the rabbit being enough to constitute a hit, and we've agreed that it is not enough to disperse the clone - assuming it even reached him in time. Likewise, considering Asami is also reacting off of Akumu's actions, by the time her shuriken reached Sohyo's KB, he would have already activated the explosion.

Therefore, with all three of you within the explosion radius, you're all likely dead. Any items that aren't metallic (Ryo, kunai, etc etc) are all also destroyed as a result.

[chiatsuki]

OOC: As for documentation goes, Its not everyone and anyone who comes in and out of the country, its more-so along the lines of suspicion. These individuals came in separate yet ended up rendezvousing in the middle of a forest. Actions like that are and will be recorded in the future too.

Above the three bodies would an insensitive glare penetrate their souls as they vanished into the nether. The bodies were charred, faceless and most of the first layer of skin had been peeled off. Being that the explosion had not used any fire there was bound to still be evidence lying on them such as their headbands. The elderly mans carcass would be the first to be inspected. Oashishu would kneel before him with one knee as the other stay propped. From behind and in front of him he could hear the steadfast footsteps procuring from the rest of his ANBU team (2).

“Sir we got here as fast as we could. What do you suppose we do?”

“Search for head bands. If they have them, then show them to me.”

A metallic piece would shimmer from the reflection of the glass about a meter or so away from the body. The first ANBU guard would have picked it up and thereafter would toss it to their commander.

“It’s a rain village headband sir.” (1)

“What of the others?”

“Oh! I found a leaf headband… but.. this one has a scar through it.” (2)

The second headband would also be tossed to Augarumo, whom would place them within his jacket pocket. A temper grew within him as he’d come to the only conclusion that he saw fit. ‘So my own ninja are plotting against me, huhn.’ He’d ponder to himself as the third body was searched.

“Oh…wow… this just became very interesting Hokage-sama.”

“Why do you say that?”

The first of the ANBU would glare to him, holding up yet another amegakure headband, however, this one also held a slash through its center.

“Bring these bodies to the headquarters please, I need a more thorough investigation of who these vigilante were. We need to begin preparing for phase one of our defense protocol. Rally up the rest of ANBU we’re having a meeting, tonight.”

“Yes sir. We will meet you after we’re done here.”(1)

“Agreed.”(2)
