Takumi walked along the halls among the guards as they went about their business preparing the prisoners. They were to be armed and put into an arena where they would be given the chance to kill their way through their executioners. Takumi was going to ensure that didn't happen.

He had no real feelings on the killing of these men, after all they had chosen their paths. As if they needed any more advantages to aid them in their undeserved fight for freedom they were going to be armed with their old weapons they were on some level renowned for. So essentially it was going to be a fair fight, there was no reason to pity these fools and their fate. The only feeling that he could claim to experience was anxiety to begin the fight and see these soldiers in action.

As an added bonus for the prisoners side, they would outnumber their executioners with an extra man. Takumi's partner was somewhere in the complex most likely making his way down here now. But even with him they were only two shinobi against three. What the prisoners were not aware of, was that Takumi and his partner had worked together before so they had familiarity with each other techniques.

[enzan]

Agito marched throughout the complicated systems of hallways and cells. He was upon the upper levels, his fist was placed squarely into and officials face which had landed him into this type of detention center. He was forced to stay there by the Mizukage, it was so he would get all his aggression out in a single cell. It only served to piss the wild child of to the maximum his very ears were steaming and his veins were throbbing. he wanted to utterly annihilate the people who were drawn out for this mission.

As he made his way towards the area, he got a glimpse of his partner. It would be Takumi the aburame which had helped him out on several occasions. The missions speculations, there would be three close quarters opponents with one who was mid to long range. They will always try to get in close to get death blows but anger was fueling him on and he wouldn't give up until he destroys them down to the atomic level.

[The Dude]

Takumi turned and waved Agito over resectfully, noting how angry his partner seemed to be. Perhaps this mission wouldn't take long at all with Agito driven into a blood rage, but all the same it would be important to make sure he didn't get too carried away. After all there enemies were used to working together as a team as well, if there was an opening that blind fury left open Takumi would be watching it. He couldn't allow his partner get hurt after all, it would look bad on his record.

"Agito, sir, over here. The guards are getting the prisoners ready for the fight. We'll get in, cut a bloody trail through them and be done with it. They may be tough, but they're no match for us."

Agito had been on a few missions with Takumi now, and perhaps the mizukage was doing it intentionally to test their compatibility as team mates. If that was the case, the Aburame was oddly ok with it. He and Agito didn't get along well at all really, but they both took their work seriously and were dangerous genin for their rank and age. If they were partnered together they would both be vaulting up the ladder in rank faster than anyone would expect.

[enzan]

I was fuming my anger exploding as I walked down a small incline. My eyes met Takumi's his mouth appeared to move yet my fury left me impaired. I reached outward at the officer who apparently had my beloved puppet within his hands. My chakra strings quickly attached to the main gears which worked all over the puppet. I yanked using both of my hands and as if alive Sanu danced from his grip. I could feel the gears turning and the grinding though the strings as if I was one with my creation.

My eyes reviewed the arena the space alloted seemed to be 50 meters by 50 meters. Such a wide coliseum would seemed to me that my beloved kiri was as viscous as stories that were once told it. I saw blood and some skulls on the ground, they had fed what seemed to be weaker prisoners to the bunch in and attempt to get there killing intent to the max. I smirked clearly at them, I would see them into the ground before anything else. I swung my hand to allow my puppet to flow onto my shoulder to sit. The battle to decided ours and there life was about to begin.

" It's fucking game time!!!!!!! "

[The Dude]

Takumi folded his arms across his chest chest as the prisoners were marched in and their weapons were returned to them. Nearly the entire kikai swarm flowed out from under his clothes forming an angry buzzing curtain behind the two shinigami silhouetting them intimidatingly before the prisoners. It was important that the prisoners realized who and what they were facing before the fight began.

The prisoners were released and their weapons set at their feet as the guards fled back out of the way too allow for the match to begin. The prisoners dove to their equipment picking up their weapons swiftly. No sooner had the archer picked up his bow than arrows whistled rapidly towards the two shinobi with incredible speed. While the archer hailed arrows down upon them relentlessly, the spear rushed Agito while the brass knuckles charged towards Takumi.

[enzan]

I saw them charge at me with as much speed as they could. i didn't event care at the stuff that was charging at me. I thought it was retarded to charge at a long range specialist with no defensive capabilities at all. I invigorated my body with chakra and side stepped about 10 meters to the left once I was within the arena. I dodged all the attacks and the spear man was confused and looked towards me. When he finally found me I had already began sealing at amazing speeds and held my last seal. Raiton orbs began forming around me. The orbs then became five sparrows which flowed around me endlessly. I pointed my finger in the direction of the spear man. The two of the sparrows launched at the spear man as two more launched directly towards the archer. I wanted to kill them both as horridly as I could. I had to hold the seal so I could completely control the crows, in my haze I decided to go for the kill immediately. Yet my ability with my skills meant a counterattack could be chosen before they hit there mark.

[The Dude]

Part of the swarm enveloped around Takumi swirling into an angry buzzing vortex at great speed. The speedy arrows were parried aside harmlessly by the bugs before the shield retreated to reveal Takumi as he finished his chain of hand seals before exhaling a hazy purple cloud of gas in the immediate path of the brawler charging him. Should he happen into the gas and breath it in the brawler would become paralyzed.

The troupe of taijutsu users were more advanced than to allow these parlor tricks to catch them off guard. The brawler seemed to burst through the cloud harmlessly in an instant appearing before Takumi and driving his fist into the Aburame's stomach knocking the wind from his lungs and sending him hurtling back along the ground five meters. On the ground and down, Takumi maintained control of the swarm as they descended in a cloud upon the brawler.

The spear fighter without missing a beat had watched Agito's flashy side step and the following raiton jutsu. As the sparrows zipped through the air towards him he planted the butt of his spear into the ground at the same time leaping up to the top of the spear with ludicrous speed allowing the raiton sparrows to pass below harmlessly.

The archer smiled cunningly as the sparrows zipped through the air towards him. In a flash he had strung two steel arrows to his bow and let them fly in retaliation. The steel arrows tore through the birds with incredible precision, becoming charged with the raiton as they hurtled towards their true destination Agito. Should they hit they would effectively not only penetrate and pierce into Agito, they would carry the damage from his own jutsu back into him.

I smirked as they spear man rose from his position in that extremely fast manner. It was smart to say in the least yet I hadn't cared seeing as he would die anyway. I brought a seal to up in facial view commanding my chakra to the raiton crows calling for them to make a sharp angled turn. The sparrow redirected themselves and sped upwards toward the now defenseless spear man. Hopefully there wouldn't be anyway for the spear man to avoid my attack. I had to multi-task which in my pissed off state was seriously hard to do.

I now focused my attention on the archer as he fired off two arrows in my direction. I had no time to focus so my raiton sparrows toward him were gored through by the arrows. The arrows being sent my way weren't of a concern to me they were gonna be rerouted by Sanu. My concern was hitting him so I sealed as fast as I could in the time alloted to me which wasn't that much. Once I was in position I concentrated my chakra in a quick burst to my palms and fired off a bolt of lightning chakra. The blast shot outward and went in between both arrows path in and attempt to hit him point blank in the face.

I smiled as I switched back to my chakra threads there was no time left so I simply allowed them to strike Sanu's body. The arrows hit and stuck to the body of my puppet, it pissed me off horribly and I began to seal prepping myself for my killing blows. My chakra was drained by all my heavy hitting attacks. This next would probably be the last jutsu I used before I tried my best with Sanu to murder and kill the spear man and the archer. The brawler would be taken on completely by Takumi it was strange but I had faith the bastard could do it.

[The Dude]

While the kikai landed on the brawler and began to drain his chakra, the brawler opted to ignore them and continue his charger after the tumbling Aburame. Takumi rolled with the force of the impact along the ground before tumbling back onto his feet leaping back just narrowly dodging the man's fist as it crushed into the ground leaving a small crater where he had just been.

Needing to gain the advantage over this superior taijutsu user he formed handseals swiftly causing fog to materialize in an area that covered him and the brawler. As the view became obstructed Takumi shifted positions silently darting to the left and right weaving in evasive patterns. As he weaved hidden in the fog he began casting his throwing needles towards the source of the buzzing the kikai made to let him know where his target was.

Else where in the battle, the spear prisoner having successfully leaped up above the sparrows prepared for his follow up to complete the combo attack. Before he could even get the proper grip on his weapon, the sparrows changed direction and shot upward through him causing his body to light up in a subtle spark before he fell to the ground beside his spear. Having been caught completely off guard he slowly rose to his feet shaking his head to clear it and figure out what had just happened.

The archer clenched his teeth realizing all too well he would not be able to dodge the blast. It struck him lighting him up in a radiant flash and sending him hurtling backwards through the air smoldering. On the ground the archer spasmed in weak convulsions from full paralysis that was brought on from the direct hit to his head. Weak and in pain, but not out the archer would struggle leaning heavily up on his bow as he hefted his body from the floor weakly.

Description: Though very basic, the Hidden Mist Technique allows for the stealthier side of combat to rule. After forming a few simple handseals, the user causes the area surrounding their target to be covered in fog. The low visibility allows the ninja to silently and secretly assassinate their target, as they can move unseen, and if careful, unheard. The mist can be unsettled by a very strong wind based technique (for one post), though it will eventually return.
Domain: Suiton.

A flash appeared on the battle field as my clone appeared lightning chakra crackling around his chakra before he went back to normal. I didn't even have to communicate with it as I tossed over a few senbon and he catches all five easily. He sped off towards the paralyzed archer to kill him with a senbon straight to his brain. I set off into a different direction using my chakra strings to control Sanu and unleash both of the Nodachi's that were within his arms. I wouldn't allowed anymore play time they had to die now as I set upon him. He staggered a bit but was still able to surprisingly stab forward with his spear it hit sanu straight in the chest but I used my strings to point his nodachi arm at his chest. I launched the arm off like a kunai attempting to stab him through either the heart or lung.

While I was playing my clone closed the distance towards the archer relatively fast and wasted no time. He placed the needles along his fingers he was easily able to jump over and land directly in the path of the archer to launch himself directly for the head. If successful he would have stabbed all three into the brain of the archer even when the paralysis wears off he will have been dead for a few seconds anyway. I pretty much was done with my side of the mission all that was left was to leave the gates if all of which was successful and go straight to the desk to check myself out and get paid.

[The Dude]

Takumi slipped silently through the fog whistling his throwing needles at the brawler unable to see if his attacks were successfully hitting their mark when suddenly the brawler figured out where he was. With impressive speed he shot through the fog catching Takumi surprised by the throat and lifting him into the air. But before he could cock his arm back to land the final blow a sudden fatigue over came him.

"Oh I was wondering how long your chakra reserves would hold out."

With a subtle but quick movement of his arm Takumi grabbed the man by his throat. A splash of red blood as Takumi's spring blade burst through his gullet before quickly retracting back into the armlet. The man dropped Takumi immediately reaching for his own throat weakly as the fatigue grew worse and worse by the moment. He fell to the ground to bleed out on the ground too physically weak to get up again.

The mist around them dispersed revealing the Aburame ninja pulling his needles from the dying man as he gurgled and choked to death on the floor. After he collected his needles, assuming Agito had dealt with his pair of ninja they could get the hell out of here and collect their reward. Hell they didn't even have to clean up the mess!

[enzan]

The clone slashed it's wrist and exploded into a shower of electricity fully killing the archer. I smiled as I rose with Sanu and me bloody. I had caught him off guard with the nodachi shot, he blocked it but couldn't block the senbon barrage which was spewed from Sanu. All it took was a quick reflex of my pinkie finger and it activated. He was struck in his eyes allowing me to completely dominate him with a strike to his arteries within his neck. Blood spurted from him and I seemed to not even care as being desensitized from being a fucking ninja. As he dropped to the ground I merely walked back having killed both of my opponents.

It wasn't as easy as I would have liked I tried to hide it but my chakra drained badly. I wanted to faint right there but I struggled towards the gates which the rose when i yelled at the guard.

" Hey fucktard! Open the Kishi Damn Door!!!! "

[/right][/color]

He opened it with a visible snort which pissed me the fuck off. I ran through the door merely speed walking trying not to appear exhausted. Once I was out of visible sight and near the main entrance to the arena I slowed down. I hated expending so much chakra, maybe I needed to get stronger first before I do anything else I thought. I smirked and slammed my fist through the air knowing full well that the money for this mission would be fucking pitiful.

END PHASE INITIATED

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

[The Dude]

Takumi walked out at a more relaxed pace, his neck had a visible mark where he had been strangled and his stomach had a massive bruise that matched the man's brass knuckle's imprinted onto his skin. However he was still full of energy and felt surprisingly energetic as he swaggered out in a good mood. Sure he was in pain, but he had barely stressed his chakra pool and in return drained more than he spent from the battle.

As he left the building, he revealed his hidden wrist blade only to wipe it clean on a guards uniform smiling at him politely as he did so. Having cleaned his weapons and made a total recount of his needles the only thing left to do was turn it in and go grab some ice for the bruises. The mission had been exceptionally short and that gave Takumi the rest of the day to recover and relax.

"Well actually I'm not that tired yet, maybe I'll go find something to keep me preoccupied else where."
