Terror Strikes [Open]

[Katsumaru]

Jiyuu wanted to have no more of this. The two clones reached the swordsman and female Hyuuga by now, and during their run, formed hand seals in a flash, fingers moving in a dance almost too quick to follow. From their figures, paper fluttered forth to form into five miniature grenades, each imbued with the fierce property of explosion, a deadly tactic favored by the Shikigami. At the time, ten explosions rang, each six meters, their fiery roar at an ear splitting volume. The Hyuuga charging Kohana met his doom before the woman was close, for the paper moved at a rapid speed. The thugs performing the hand seals, too, met their end before completion.

______________________________________

The Hokage’s castle burned, flames illuminating the surrounding grounds. Truly horrid, the situation, as men and women alike scrambled desperately, carrying buckets of water to douse the flame. A crowd formed by now, many curious gazes glancing at the situation in both disbelief and shock. Truly, it was frightening. If the Hokage’s castle became victim to assault so easily, was Jiyuu to be trusted? He was their leader, but could not even keep his symbol safe. Jiyuu descended, black wings dispersing.

”Eeeeey mates.” a voice roared from the crowd. Moments after yelling, a thin, narrow, gaunt figure stepped forth, cheek bones revealed. With sunken eyes, bald head, and pale skin, the man seemed rather ill, but in the contrary, was quite fit as evident with his quick, hastened step. A wicked smile spread across his face. Truly wicked, the man’s face carried combination of narcissism, sadism, and sheer delight. ”I’m with them.”

[/i] he said boldly.

He spoke, voice almost a hiss,”There is no use in fighting here anymore. I propose to you a game. A game you must play. There are twenty hostages held in a house nearby. Exploding tags cover the house. But you will have to decide. These grounds, too, are covered in exploding tag. So, what will you do? There is not enough time to find both.”

The crowd erupted into a frenzy. Horrified screams ran out as men, women, and children ran desperately for cover. Unfortunately, due to the many that gathered, they ran into one another, stumbling and falling. Truly, this was a chaotic situation. The man who made the threat was nowhere to be found anymore. As quickly as he came, the vile serpent disappeared.

Jiyuu stood motionless. He was afraid. It seemed as if he failed completely and utterly in protection of Konohagakure.

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify][/font]

[~Kohana <3]

Kohana was going to revel in the fact that she could utterly tear apart a Hyuuga insurgent. Not specifically because he was an enemy, but more so because he was a Hyuuga. It would be a joy to her like no other, imagining her father's face on this man as she would silence him forever. Or at least that's how she wished it was. Instead Jiyuu sent clones forward bombing the rebels and essentially 'saving' both the samurai and herself for the assailants.

As much as she was thankful, she was also a little upset about it. Of course, this wasn't exactly the time to worry about that though. Jiyuu descending down from his perch on black wings and she quickly joined him. Her eyes scanned his body to see if he was injured, sighing in relief when she couldn't detect any.

"Jiyuu, I'm so glad that your alright, thank you for back there." She murmured this, just so he could hear while her eyes, still focused and buldging from her Byakugan, scanned the perimeter.

However that's when he stepped forward. The man claimed to be with them, the attackers, and quickly propositioned them. Twenty hostages in a house with exploding notes, as well as notes surrounding this area as well. In a flash, he used the mob that broke out to disappear from their sights, and there were just too many chakra signatures and people lumped together for her to keep track of him.

This is bad, really, really bad....but....

The Hyuuga looked over to Jiyuu and frowned. She could tell he was afraid, but did he feel defeated too? As much as Kohana was scared for the lives of the people in Konoha, that didn't mean action wasn't to be had. Taking a step closer to her Hokage, Kohana rested a hand on his shoulder and tried to smile, just a little, for him.

"You have me, remember? Exploding notes give off a chakra signature, you know. I'll take the samurai with me and we'll save those hostages." Her smile widened, though just a little as she gave the man's shouldera squeeze. "And this is your castle, Jiyuu. You're the Hokage. Show these guys what that means."

As much as she knew she shouldn't, the Hyuuga gave the Shikigami a quick side hug before retreating away from him and gesturing for the samurai to follow her. After all, the man said they didn't have much time, so every second from here on counted. Any more delays and those poor people may not make it.

"Let's go."

With that, she sped off hopefully with the Samurai tailing her. Her eyes buldged while beginning her search for the exploding tags. If anything, at least if the hostages were saved that would help lift some of the burden that her Hokage surely was feeling.

Don't worry Jiyuu, we'll succeed here. I promised you that from the very beginning and I'll see to that happening...

[That Guy]

Just before the enemy was able to reinitiate his battle with Amon, the clone of Amon sprinted forward with impressive speeds forming hand seals as he moved. Upon completion the clone spawned a speeding paper ball from his own essence that shot forward colliding with the enemy immediately engulfing him in an explosion warranting an early painful death.

Amon stopped himself mid run and smiled puffing gently on his spliff during the moment of respite. He had struck down the fool's clone already so he had had the pleasure of some action rather than no action. As far as Amon was concerned though the Hokage had just saved him some stamina and quite frankly effort. Oh, Amon felt compelled to help the village and its citizens surely, but it was not his village and it was not his home so he found it hard to muster the fierce loyalty these shinobi had.

Turning around to watch the castle burn the swordsman almost joined in to fight the fire when a man strode out speaking with an air of self importance. He explained the situation about the hostages and the bombs everywhere but before Amon could even move to draw his sword again the man disappeared in the panic stricken crowd.

The woman strode forward towards the hokage and spoke to him reassuringly. She promised him that she and the samurai would take care of the bombs and save the citizens. Amon would have taken issue with her just volunteering his services up without asking him first, but then she also mistakenly called him a samurai which sent him on his own internal monologuing ego trip far too large and pointless to be written here.

As the woman sped off Amon dropped the end of his spliff on the ground grinding it out with his heel before looking around at the flames of the castle and the panic. He looked at the Hokage with a forced grin trying to be as cheerful as he could.

"I suppose you've got enough fires to put out right now without me making more from carelessly discarded cigarettes. Don't be yourself up yet though sir, there will be a time for that later. You need to look forward and decide what you will do with the time that is still given to you."

He turned after the woman and sprinted off without waiting for a reply as his steel geta thundered down the road after her. She said she could see the tags making her the utmost important person between the two. Amon would follow her and protect her at all costs so she could focus on saving the citizens before time ran out.

Sorry for the wait. Inspiration was low. Won’t happen again.

”You could have handled them yourself.”

[/color] Jiyuu said softly, steel gray eyes staring at Kohana. ”But there was simply no time to waste.”[/i] The Hokage knew the Hyuuga’s ability. She was truly a formidable warrior, but Jiyuu grew weary of the many battles in which he fought. With a snap of the finger, the two bunshin dispersed.

As Kohana spoke to him, he listened with slumped shoulders, not even giving a reply to the hug. This was not out contempt or anything in the like, but rather, the weight of his title, the Hokage, weighted upon his shoulders so heavily that he obliviously oversaw Kohana’s interest in him. Jiyuu was a fool, after all. Two body flickers carried him to the remaining thug, and upon appearing, paper manifested around his right fist as it struck outwards forcefully, tearing into the flesh of the abdomen. Groaning, the curmudgeon collapsed. With a slight shrug and nod to Kohana, Jiyuu’s black wings carried him through the skies towards the castle, beginning his search for the exploding tags.

____________________________________________________

Meanwhile, Kohana’s sensing eyes spotted a rather large gathering of chakra in a structure thirty meters to her right. A closer inspection revealed that a series of exploding tags covered the outside wall. Inside, everything was silent. Not even the delicate eyes of the Hyuuga could see the inner workings, bizarrely.
[/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify][/font]

[~Kohana <3]

Kohana sighed as her Byakugan watched Jiyuu fly away towards the castle. The Hyuuga felt bad. After this was all over she would have to figure out a way to bring his spirits up. After all, as Hokage he needed to be the pillar for the people. Even with such a tragedy taking place, the opponents were other shinobi. There was no way to truly defend against this when it came out of the blue.

Regardless, that wasn't the matter at hand. Her eyes picked up a gathering of chakra plastered along the side of a building. It was obvious to her eyes that they were the exploding notes. However, what was strange was the quiet surrounding it. Nothing could escape her eyes. Even as she strained, there didn't seem to be anyone inside.

There were a few conclusions.

The more likely was that there was some sort of cloak or shield technique shielding the people inside from her view which would perhaps make her leave them. Thus, their lives are forfeit. Or, it was all a trap to begin with in order to separate them. If she and the samurai went closer, the house would blow up and kill them. A small victory in the insurgence's eyes.

What to do, what to do....

That's when it hit her. As a Hyuuga, her Jyuuken strikes nullified and sealed chakra. Smirking, she began closing the distance between herself and the house, using a body flicker as well in the process to cut her time. Once in range she leaped forward with her eyes pulsating as well as chakra gathering into her palms and fingers.

It almost looked like a dance as she send out waves of chakra with each strike, while moving with grace to strike at each of the exploding notes. Thirty two strikes later she spun on her heel and backed away as to keep the whole house in her view as well as the samurai.

"Now what is wrong with this picture...?"

Kohana didn't want to storm the house quite yet. She needed to make sure that it was safe or that whatever was blocking her view inside the house was still apparent.

[That Guy]

Amon followed the ninja to a building watching her as she suddenly put on a burst of speed streaking around the construct in a graceful pattern her hands aglow with chakra. As she flowed her hands seemed to lightly snap and either tap or strike the walls. Most likely she was striking the explosive notes they had been warned of, and so Amon waited momentarily as she soon finished her fluid dance backing away from the house and looking up.

"Now what is wrong with this picture...?"

Amon looked back to the house with a quizzical look on his face for a moment. Nothing seemed out of place and the woman had presumably disabled the explosive traps. The building now stood silent just as before and too the swordsman nothing had changed. That's what was wrong with the picture.

"What's wrong is there are innocents inside and we're just staring at it worrying about our own skins. What's wrong is I've been standing idly by this whole time waiting and hesitating. Time to make amends."

Amon took a step back before charging headlong towards to door. He would ram it with his shoulder in a blunt charge to try and break the door down. He didn't want to waste any more time than he already had chances were good that he would get hurt. There also was the chance that the ninja's silent dance had removed and disarmed the traps without them being noticed so perhaps the brash charge in would be unprecendented.

[Katsumaru]

While Kohana’s strikes were fierce, thirty two blows did not suffice in destroying every single tag. Three tags remained, and upon the commotion, all three erupted, but thankfully their explosion was stifled by the surrounding rocks as they have been positioned rather amateur. Nonetheless, they succeeded in taking out a small, five meter part of the roof, tiles and stone falling into the structure beneath. Screams rung out from within. Then everything fell silent again. With her swift action, Kohana caused the death of some of those gathered within. Friend or foe? That could not be determined from out here.

Amon fiercely rammed the door and succeeded in breaking through. A five meter hallway awaited ahead, two doors leading to the right and left respectively with an additional door directly ahead. Amon heard cried from the entrance. ”Oh no, Hasan, Imari, get back up! Get up! Get up!”

[/color][/i] weeping followed as an obviously devastated woman wept louder and louder. It seemed as if the explosion took out several innocent folks.

All of the explosives had now been disabled. The three which remained erupted, and the building was safe – only from the tags, that was. Further trouble awaited, for three men stepped forth, one from the left, one from the right, and one from the door directly ahead.

Man from the left

This man was quite short, at only five feet and six inches, but build surprisingly well with thick bulky arms and a well defined chest that bulged through his brown trousers. He lacked any notable weaponry but carried a pouch from which the handle of kunai extended. Judging from the appearance of the pouch, more awaited within.

Man from the right

Strangely, this man was covered in a set of ANBU armor, clad completely, his figure hidden. All seen was a pouch and a lengthy blade upon his back, only several centimeters shorter than his two meter shape. His steps were quick, silent, and fluid despite his massive stature.

Man directly ahead

This man was yet another Hyuuga, two meters and ten centimeters with palms twice the size of Kohana’s.

Elsewhere

The Hokage hovered above the castle, his fingers a rapid dance as wave after wave of paper flew forth from his body, exploding once close to the foes. Numerous assailants plagued the area surrounding the castle, and he showed them not the slightest mercy. Jiyuu loathed taking lives, but it felt almost natural – he did so with a disturbing ease. What has happened to this man, for him to lose his way so? Without Kohana, or anyone nearby to keep his fury in check, he simply let the demon within free.

[~Kohana <3]

The Hyuuga couldn't help but glare at the samurai. Saving their own skins wasn't exactly the priority on her list either. But, if they were reckless in their assault, than those within the house would be in just as much trouble as they would be. And if it was a trap? It left her Hokage to fend for himself since it seemed the rest of the village had become too scared to even attempt to help.

Her thoughts were abruptly quieted as an explosion echoed otuwards the part of the house was taken away. There were tags still left, tags she had missed or hadn't noticed. What had truly hit her were the screams. Screams of someone. If insurgent, good riddance, but she had the sinking feeling that it had been civilians.

Please let everyone be alright...

She was a medical ninja. Her job was to save lives, not take them. Especially when it came to civilians. The anger that boiled deep within her sent her whole frame shaking as her eyes bore after Amon as he slammed his way into the house. With the door open, she could see straight down the hallway.

That's when she saw them; three men exitting from three of the hallways doors. Her eyes narrowed as she took a step forward, but stopping. Kohana glanced at Amon and then to the three in the hallway. "Amon, step back and lead them out here!"

When the three would come out, she immediately inhaled and let a cloud of poison erupt from her lips. With such a small window of oppurtunity for them to escape the shroud from the doorframe as they exitted, the chances of success, hopefully, were high. If she could paralyze any number of them then it would make the battle so much easier.

If any one of them fall, a swift punch to their stomach will incapacitate them. However...

Kohana's eyes were trained on the giant of a Hyuuga male. If all else failed, she would have to attempt and get close to the brute of a man and take him down by any means necessary. Even if she had to put herself in a position where she'd give herself to him, she would.

Jiyuu, I'll make you proud..!

[That Guy]

Amon heard the ninja behind him give direction to bring the men out, to lure them. That was fine with Amon anyway, a little more room to swing his blade would be a good thing. With a snap of his wrist he withdrew and threw a two kunai down the hall way to make sure he had their attention. Without waiting to see whether or not the kunai would succeed he spun around on his heel and leaped back out onto the street away from the doorway.

As he leaped he subtly dropped a weapon he had never found a use for, his makibishi. The small spikes fell quietly to the ground trailing the swordsman as he ran back towards his ally. Coming to a stop and spinning around beside her to face their enemies he held his katana aloft before him. Preparing to strike at the men as soon as chance presented itself.

The men in question had all seemed strangely peculiar, certainly some of the men from before had some ninja talent. But this group seemed even more deadly, perhaps the giant with the same eyes as the ninja beside him was what made him think this way. Perhaps it was the strangely dressed one, complete in his ANBU attire. After all weren't the ANBU special tasks of the ninja? Why would they want to aid in this terrorist attack?

[Katsumaru]

Thug Directly ahead

The thug’s fingers moved in a flash, much quicker than the tempo Kohana’s seals could amount to. For but a moment he held the seals, until Kohana completed hears, and upon her release of the poison, he countered with a fine manipulation of chakra, the formation of fuuton. With extended hands, he send forth a wave of wind that reversed the poison cloud. She had already fought near the Hokage’s castle and information spread – using the same technique again was a rather foolish move for which Kohana was aptly punished by returning the cloud to her. The burst of wind also send the makibishi flying backwards towards the door.

Efficient Sealing II

Kazekaeshi (Wind Return)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Defensive / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Very Low - Very High
Special: Effective in blocking and returning ninjutsu and taijutsu of equal rank. Push-back distance is equal to the user's 'Kiroku Gaijuu'. Cannot block jutsu whose attack power has been increased due to retraining or mastery, as those simply would pass through.
Description: No one knows the power of Fuuton more than a Fuuton specialist, and this technique was designed by those that met reality sooner than most. Varying by skill and rank, this technique allows the user to take hold of any offensive jutsu used upon them, as along as the attack’s nature allows for whatever is thrown to be controlled. With a great burst of chakra at either their hands or weapons, the user quickly returns the technique back at the opponent, in full effect.
Domain: Fuuton. Kiroku Gaijuu (Blasting Winds Reach) of equal rank.

The man clad in ANBU armor spoke, his tone deep and intimidating. ”You’ve come here to rescue them lads and lasses, eh? As long as you want to do that, you cannot fight, because we will destroy the building. You know we can do that, don’t test us damned bastards. So, if you want those damn things to remain alive, give us your sword, warrior. And wench, give us one of your eyes. A reasonable trade for the lives of many, eh?”

[/i]

Despite Kohana’s previous offensive and Amon’s use of the makibishi, the scoundrels did not stir aside from the one that had released the wave of heat. Their means of extortion were rather grim, utterly disgusting, considering that they wished an eye and sword for the trade of many lives – how low must one descent. Yet, despite their lack in morality, the ones with revealed faces grinned, wicked smiles upon their face. They were confident. Most importantly of all, they were amused.

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/font][/justify]

[~Kohana <3]

She saw it all happening but was too late to stop her own actions from continuing. As she performed her hand seals for her poisonous mist, she could see the thug doing seals of his own then holding it. He was waiting for her attack, like he knew what she was going to do. Though her mist was successful in creation, it was hardly successful in purpose.

With a Fuuton technique he had reversed her attack back towards her. That was easily dismissed with a simple turn on her heels and a spin, creating a dome of chakra to disperse the incoming cloud of poison. Though they were safe from that, they were hardly safe from the men's arrogance.

"How befitting of men even beneath that of a commoner."

Her tone had changed some as she took a step forward, holding her hands together in a seal. Just because they wanted to threaten them and try and have them submit due to the lives of innocents was absolutely absurd. People like that didn't know what it truly meant to be a warrior, a shinobi even. Being righteous was important, but what good was that if you were dead?

The Hyuuga finished her seals and 5 crackling sparrows made from lightning hovered above her. However, she did not attack with them, not quite yet. After all, it was obvious that a straightforward attack would do no good. Especially when the three of them weren't exactly stepping fully out of the house. Their cowardice only infuriated her even more.

"I will not give you one of my eyes. And neither will this samurai give you his sword. You say these people will die? Better them then the entire village during your onslaught."

With that said, the sparrows shot forward to hit and explode against various parts of the house in all intent to spark the structure and catch it on fire. After all, it would draw the men out of the house and allow for the samurai and herself to fully deal with them. And, if they were lucky, those trapped inside would make a run for it.

However that was an idealistic situation where everyone good lived and everyone bad died. Already that was clear things didn't quite go that way...

Amon looked up at the radiant birds of lightning that sparked and shone brightly in the night in awe. Truly a brilliant display, the ninja always seemed to find beautiful majestic styles to fight with and whatever she had done was no exception. As the birds floated in the air above the girl called back to the men defiantly with their answer to their proposition.

Amon smiled smugly at the Ninja's retort to the men's offer. She had a strong fighting will, which was good for the samurai wouldn't have surrendered his blade to anyone and he certainly wouldn't let the girl cut out her own eye. It was barbaric that the men would even consider an eyeball as payment for lives. These men were far beyond redemption and saving, the only option left was to cut them down like the dogs they were. They're bodies would join the countless others, that obstructed justice and order in the world, to serve as a reminder to all what fate scum of the earth would share in the end.

He gritted his teeth holding his katana loosely in his hand but held it out to point to the men with his smug smile growing steadily across his lips. He first pointed the tip of the sword at the white eyed thug before shaking his head solemnly, no this one was not his fight. He had the same eyes as Amon's ally, so he would leave her to deal with him since he wanted her eye so bad. He tilted the hilt redirecting the blade's tip first to point at the man in ANBU armor and then the last thug and smiled nodding at both of them. The two had been quiet but they were obviously with the first man and had played a part in this disaster, and so they too would share his fate. They would be Amon's main targets of focus while the girl handled her own affairs with the giant white eyed brute.

No sooner had Amon chosen his victims than the birds took fly and bolted through the air crashing into the house. As they did he bent his neck rewarded by the sound of a multitude of cracking pops. The situation had just taken a step up to a more serious level, this was no longer about just killing them men for their crimes both past and future. Amon would not forgive himself if he lost more innocent lives again and so he resolved that he would need to make quick work of these men and that meant he would be using his Hachimon Tonkou technique.

[Katsumaru]

The cloud of poison dispersed, bursts of chakra sending it into the surrounding, causing it to spread harmlessly. But already as she was spinning, the futon user’s hand formed his next seals, but he came to a quick halt when the lightning sparrows set the house ablaze. In shock, the three men ran towards the door.

[/justify][/font]

[~Kohana <3]

The Hyuuga smirked as the three men ran for the door as the house could on fire. Though she was endangering those that were in the house, this was the only way to turn the table in their favor. With the three of them running down a narrow hall to the door however, it left them all quite vulnerable for attack. Since they already knew of her poison mist, and now of her lightning sparrows she had to be a little innovative.

Kohana pulled a number of senbon into both of her hands and rushed forward, throwing them all into the small hallway. Without waiting for any sort of reaction, she knew that as she neared them the range of her Hakke (5 meters=16.5 feet) allowed her to be able to strike any of the three who weren't quick enough to get behind the front man.

She however tried to target the massive Hyuuga male, but whichever one she hit would make her day. So with her Hakke range extended she disappeared with Shunshin speed with her hands outstretched to strike. Upon impact on the unlucky head of the three man cell, two strikes would hit his tenketsu. Following the two strikes, four more came, then eight, sixteen, thirty-two, and finally a full sixty-four.

With her 64 Palms, whoever she hit would be completely out of comission and would help even out the odds for herself and the samurai behind her. And if they were lucky, one could hold off the two remaining offenders while the other went in to retrieve those who were being held hostage. Which, despite her lust to absolutely destroy these men, she could feel that she was close to reaching her limit.

I've been using too much Souin techniques, I don't think I can take much more of dishing out these attacks...
