To capture a Demon-Beast! [YONBI]

[King]

The land was shaking.

To the weary traveler, it might have seemed as though the entirety of Kusa no Kuni was coming undone. Tremors and quakes spread across the namely grassy meadow of a country for miles, shaking the foundations of what few stable structures remained in the nation. What very few forests occupied Kusa’s country side were being ravaged, reduced to nothing more than splinters of wood and trampled leaves.

It had been seven long years since the Second Great Shinobi war, yet its affects reached further into the future than any of its mortal participants could have imagined. The first of several others that would surely awaken in due time, the Yonbi had risen from the depths of land. A monstrosity of lava, flesh, and uncontested chakra, the fiery-red furred beast made his presence known with inhuman roar.

“It appears as though the age of the ninja has passed,” he mused aimlessly into the empty sky. The lack of retaliation thus far was testament to the fact that the world had, as he suspected, changed a considerate amount. “Then I shall succeed where the others could not.”

Presuming himself to be free of any opposition, a massive palm came crashing down upon one of the many rolling hills that surrounded him. His fingers bit into the earth several meters, his fist curling to yank a chunk of the soil from its bed. With a sudden snap, even the boulders and bedrock were reduced to dust in his palm. “Let the unraveling of this world commence!”

OOC: This thread will be under a very strict 24-hour posting window. Participants will be able to extend their window by an extra 24 hours once throughout the course of this event. Posting orders will be decided once all villages have entered, starting with the first village and their ninja (I.E Konoha's ninja will post as a squad, in a specific order by their event leader; they will then be followed by the next village, etc) based on who enters this thread first.

Ue's blood boiled as his weighted footfalls marred the mounds of earth of Kusa no kuni. This land was foreign and unfamiliar to his senses, and truthfully had this beast not been aimlessly wandering the countryside trying to feed its insatiable lust for destruction, he might have enjoyed this little escapade. Enveloped and protected fully by his iron clad armour, his strides were slow, yet long and progressive, but this was all thanks to the fairly large scroll that horizontally suspeneded just above his lower back, hanging from his shoulders with sturdy wires from both ends. He could feel the tremors of earth beneath his feet as he trekked through columns of trees and apex's of hills.

("This creature is sure to be insanely powerful, though I hate to admit it we'll all die if we approach this beast incorrectly ")

His heart was racing as the tremors and quakes grew in magnitude with each step that drew him closer and closer to the majestic being of pure chakra. Though his countenance and emotions wwere unable to be viewed upon with the normal eye due to his clothing, but beneath it all he was quite frightened, never before had he even thought to argue powers with a mythical beast that seemed to only appear in children's stories.

("The weight of this scroll is killing me, but it can't be helped, if we are to subdue this mighty beast then we'll need to pull out all of our strongest techniques. I'm pretty sure anything less will be damn near ineffective.")

He mused intensely as he watched his rushing comrades speed past him, as far as he was concerned this was for the best, his opponents would be able to scout ahead and not only this but begin their attack as a means to distract the beast itself. True enough Ue has his own strategy plan, one that came to fruition with a simple set of seals that birthed three

duplicates, all comprised of raiton chakra. One was summoned a single meter behind him with the other two 1 meter to his left and right as to form a small equilateral triangle. With that the gigantic silhouette came into clear view as Ue and his clones watched from 65 meters while continuing their slow, but steady walk.

"Stay alert Konoha! Things will get serious from here on so watch yourselves so we can take this damn thing down!!"

It seemed the gods wouldn’t smile upon humanity today, they had exhausted all patience. As such, for perfidious sins committed across the many lands of the world itself, the Village Hidden in the Grass would become the first to atone for its undoing’s. Compensation coming in the form of fear and crimson bloodshed; a sick reality that would surely force the planet itself to succumb if none brave, or ignorant enough stood up to counter such an oppression. Konohagakure would be the first of hopefully many to arrive and salvage land which belonged to the Human race.

Crimson oculars peering off into the distance, eyes rivaling the clarity of any deity clearly focused in on the malice that transpired. The earth itself weeping s tremors of distress echoed radically out of control. Solid footing and a strong body being the only two factors keeping the Hokage afloat. Armored in resistant steel, a gift from his profession, the Fire Shadow looked on from alongside his companion. A small, though elite contingent of enduring souls ventured days and miles, advancing upon oceans and conquering all climate changes that occupying such a journey. Hopefully their efforts wouldn’t be wasted on such an important and perilous day.

Held through the comfortable apertures that allowed the potent flames of agni to expel, a durable, porcelain mask found refuge in a right-handed grasp. Resembling that of a mighty wolf, its bearer would embody their code of hunting which allowed success for generations past, and generations to come; move in a pack, and assault as a single unit. “Listen everyone, I understand the dangers that come with such a responsibility… but remember, and we’re not just doing this for. But for everyone who has, and would be affected by this beast! Fight as if you were fighting for your loved ones, your home, and yourself. I’m proud of you all, move swift, and move with vigilance.” A brief dialogue to inspire the small masses, the Uchiha found his hand motioning upwards, sealing his face from view with the very mask he once held.

A simple three meters to Ue’s rear, the beckoning of Thunderous duplicates didn’t go without notice, for the Sharingan embedded into his eyes focused on their progression into reality well before they arrived. Needless to say, he would progress with them, some ways still distancing them from the fight ahead, but it would be covered soon enough. Eight years since his last encounter with a monster of such a magnitude, Ryūsuke could only hope that his luck favored existing past this day.

It had been several long years since Reisuke last did anything for his village. After being promoted to Chūnin, he left and begun traveling the world; training himself and honing his skills. Having recently returned, he had been seeking to prove that his loyalty to Konohagakure still existed. And what presented a better way for him to show this allegiance than helping with the capture of a tailed beast? Most likely nothing, and so, for the sake of his village and Kusagakure, he would subdue this monster—whether his comrades and the other villages helped or not.

Standing about five meters to the rear of both Ryūsuke and Ue, he would silently trek across the land behind them; his being shaken minutely by the immense tremors below his feet. With a faint motioning of his arms, bringing them to his front and spreading them out, he would inaudibly command his own army to come forth. And with that, a vast accumulation of minuscule insects would percolate through his skin and reposition to his exterior, completely surrounding him. They could serve many purposes in this fight, and he was going to prove it.

“Y’all ready?” he said, speaking in the direction of his two comrades that stood close by.

Destruction Bug Technique

[Katsumaru]

The very world had been spat upon as fury began to manifest. Chaos had stricken the world years ago, but terror arose anew in the form of a beast born from the nightmares. Certainly the monstrosities control over lava was greater than that of Touketsu, who found himself so close to battle with a being greater than he. But he felt no fear, no dread, for to stand here was his duty. As the seven years passed, the Airontoku declared that no more will his every breath go to waste; no more will he be idle. Whether that drastic shift in persona shall cause his death in time to come, Touketsu knew not, and quite frankly, it was of little concern as the thrill of approaching battle was all that mattered.

Atop the rustling grounds a man stood, figure clad in a deep brown cloak. Upon his chest was a surprisingly light steel chest plate, along with bracers for the arm and guards for the shin. Crimson eyes rested beneath a mask, its image crudely shaped after a cat. Curiously, a hole had been cut into its mouth, revealing thin, narrow, dry lips. An ebony hilted blade hung on his left hip along with a pouch on the right, the latter contain a variety of armaments from kunai to wire. Touketsu’s ruffled, deep black, lengthy hairs sprouted forth from beneath the mask giving the figure a rather grizzled appearance, worsened by the stains upon the clothing.

Silently the Airontoku prayed. The Vigilant God will watch over me. My every breath, until my last breath. I find myself here, a challenge so much greater than I, but I must not fail. Will not fail. Touketsu referenced a false deity he begun to worship several years after Konohagakure met her doom. Introduced to him by a wandering priest, the Airontoku was completely unaware that the deity was a simple creation of the mind. The comfort provided was all that mattered, be it delusional or not.

Touketu’s boots left imprints within the grass as he positioned himself two meters to Ue’s right, standing several inches over the master of ration. The very earths would soon feel an unmatched fury, and the Airontoku stood prepared to face whatever the tedious rampage shall cast upon them. Standing still, his heart began to breath and lungs expanded with each breath.

[Bombshell]

An unpredictable fruition of the violence which past but seven years ago this occurence was. Before this grave day, the world seemed to be freed of the might of such, grotesque creatures such as this. Now it had seemed to come about out of nowhere. No omens, no warnings, and no time for precautions. This thing, the Yonbi as they call it... disturbed the restoration of Kusagakure, and ultimately tested the strength of the Great Five as a whole. Had Uchiha Kouketsu's actions been in vain? It would all be proved today.

Lavished in unadorning garb, locks of cherry blossom tied neatly in a bun fashion, Sora would arrive upon the devastating scene which unrivalled finesse and grace that many were envious of. Her presence? Calm, collected and unwavering, one could even say stoic. She had no doubt that this glorious alliance would indeed prevail, and that this beast would be properly subdued. She stood there, almost directly by her fiance Ue's side, eyeing down the beast with intent vigor and almost arrogance. It would only take a simple command to light the impatient bomb which Sora was right now. Suddenly, her eyes flicked back, though not her head, to gain a visual of her Hokage as he spoke.

(“Listen everyone, I understand the dangers that come with such a responsibility… but remember, and we’re not just doing this for. But for everyone who has, and would be affected by this beast! Fight as if you were fighting for your loved ones, your home, and yourself. I’m proud of you all, move swift, and move with vigilance.”)

A smile creeped upon her face, never once did the Hokage's word lack or sort of, chilling factor. For such wisdom to flow from such docile lips was unheard of. Ue began to move up steadily, and Sora and the others followed in the same fashion. Did Sora regret her choice in being here? No, she wholeheartedly believed that she was here for a reason, and she didn't want to run away as she did seven years ago. It was time she repayed her debt, and she was determined to pay with the head of this monstrosity.

[vegapunk]

The vast flora and fauna which Kusa no Kuni boasted, in all of its beauty and wonder, would come under assault with every passing moment. It seemed as though man's actions of seven years passed had caused this mess. A monstrousity of chaos, a deliverance of hate, would be unleashed on the unknowing Kusa no Kuni. The Gods were finally feed up with the actions of man as their patience had seemed to run ice-thin. Nature had its own way of issuing warnings to though's who would try to destroy it through brash and unnecessary arms and it wouldn't take such action lightly.

The Yonbi

[/color], a true entity of destruction and vengeance manifested into a lava-spiting ape. No-one knew where or when this beast was born or the specific reasons why, but many had their assumptions. Things like this have happened in the past when war and conflict have reached points of utmost despair. Many believed it to be a message from the Gods that enough is a enough, man has gone too far, but Eiichiro didn't know what to believe. The pain and suffering caused to thousands upon thousands in the recent decade would surely have its ramification's but he didn't know what. All he knew was he had to stop this beast before it would cause anymore harm to Kusa no Kuni and further...

Eiichiro arrived on the scene to meet with his fellow Kumo-nin and the alliance. He stood impassively, his jaw hard as stone underneath the brown-black shadow of his tight-cropped goatee. He had dressed richly for the occasion, his stripped loose fitting shirt snapped and curled in the wind underneath his standard Kumogakure issued vest. Goggles wrapped around his neck would be accompanied by his chuunin forehead protector and issued black pants and sandals. Eiichiro had noticed that the air seemed to be incredibly heavy around him as so was the force of the beasts chakra.

The forests which once would have been bustling with life from all manners of animals was now silent, many sensing the danger far before any human, they had all fled to stay in hiding. It seems the animals were in good steed leaving the area. What is this feeling? it is like nothing I have ever felt before Eiichiro thought to himself. Reaching into a pouch which was cut in the front of his vest he would retrieve a packet of cigarette's from which he would take one out, slipping it gently between his fingers before placing it over his lips. Lighting the end he would ignite the tobacco to cause a plume of smoke to lift into the air around him.

However, the smoke which billowed from the end of his cigarette didn't seem to be the only source in the immediate area. Pale flames licked at the grey sky in the distance as dark smoke rose, twisting and curling into the air above. It had seemed the Yonbi[/color] was quick to begin its rampage, perhaps sensing the danger it would soon come under. When the wind pushed it towards the them, the shinobi and kunoichi would blink and rub their eye's slightly. A taste of things to come, thought Eiichiro. Many and more would burn before this ragging beast was done.

He wondered how many of these ninja were truly prepared for what was to come in the hours ahead. Many would have never experienced something of this magnitude before, much like Eiichiro, and this was unsettling to say the least. He himself doubted his own efforts in what would be trying to overpower this beast. From the knowledge that they had received they knew of this creatures power. Eiichiro, being a fellow youton user himself, would stand know chance against something of this creatures raw chakra. Offensively, youton to youton, he would stand no chance. It would be like a boy throwing a bucket of water towards a ravaging tsunami wave of water.

Settling contently within himself he would stand perched against the bulk truck of a nearby tree. Intertwined with his thoughts he had to think up of someway that his talents would ultimately be useful. His knowledge, perception and mental abilities always came in handy with any but situation he liked to be on the battlefield to access things as they came. He would need to plan ahead though, this was no ordinary mission. However, there was one thing that he was certain of. If they didn't react soon then the feast of flora and fauna that Kusa no Kuni had to offer would soon become a succession of crumbled earth, re-rooted forests, and charred remains.

Pushing himself off of the tree trunk with a single leg arched backward he would propel himself forward at a casual pace, just enough to gather the attention of his team mates. He was not one to take a main leadership position, and nor would he, but he always had the qualities of a leader. The perfect Knight not King. Opening his mouth he would speak with drawn out words sounding so casual it would seem as if they were about to begin a fishing trip.

"So, whats the plan? It seems as though we should get started soon. Judging from the distance it seems like the Yonbi is getting restless."[/i]

[Testament]

A man, a warrior poet, a fucking gift from heaven would appear next to Eiichiro with his hand held out. Is wasn't a formal greeting; these things had been taken care of long before the squad entered the arena of possible death. No, his outstretched hand beckoned for one of the nicotine laced cylinders that Eiichiro currently held between his lips. If one was given it would be placed within the corner of the other man's mouth and lit much in the same way as his comrades. The man had no response to Eiichiro's query for he knew what game plan he'd come to enact and nothing short of a shinigami's scythe would cause him to depart from his path. Death might surely find a foothold amongst the ranks of shinobi this day but its every move would be repelled by the one known as Tenchishinmei Satsui. No question about it.

He stood shoulder to shoulder with the first Kumo nin to make his presence known and both of them would awe at the vision of annihilation that sought to rape both the landscape and the soul. Neither shook, for theirs was the heritage built upon the thunder and solidified by the rolling storm loosed from hell's black gates. Satsui wore his battle gear and little else; the body armor resplendent from neck to waist that covered chiseled form for one could never be too careful when dabbling with the gods of spiritual might. The Yonbi would be hard pressed to find him on the field of battle but only because Satsui's main objective was to test his prowess in healing instead of killing. His mind was sharp and focused to a razor's edge and if need be he would unleash his baser instincts and challenge the heaven's wailing abortion to usher him into the next life.

His right hand was covered in cold metal, the Kiri-Oni Claw at home with its master, while the left gripped steel capable of deliberate evisceration. Kunai were not often the tool of the trade when one sought to repair injured flesh but there wasn't much normal about the situation at hand. His legs, and lower body, were clothed in pure, white linen that held several pockets of varying subtlety but his longsword was displayed prominently upon his back just as his hitai-ate was slung around his neck. There was no question in his mind about what fate held for those gathered in this place of horror and devilish amusement. If they were unable to turn the raging force of pure chakra; if they found themselves incapable of repelling the beast of legend and lore, their bones and flesh would be the first seeds planted in the ground ruled by the Bjiuu and Satsui would not hear of such a travesty. He crouched and brought a hand to his chest as he breathed words, inaudible, to the one his ancestors called in times of great woe for he knew that to battle a deity it was necessary to call upon a power of equal or greater proportions.

CHAPTER to capture a beast!
POST one
OOC event; mission

Four tails waved viciously through the vacant air. Batting wildly at nothing, they could be seen connected to a creature of an awful aura. The pure want to hurt was enough to drive anyone capable of feeling it sick, and with such a powerful aura, most who had come felt it. A warm, aromatic chakra would spread throughout the land, and as the upturned nostrils of Kanja Ibara would envelop them, he could see just how violent this beast was. A curtling want to flee would begin creep up his spine, but was quickly destroyed by the incredible want to best it. Perhaps it was the countless number of defined, rigidly shaped muscles which would cover the beasts body. Perhaps it was the jagged teeth, prepared to cut down and devour anything unfortunate enough to be caught within it's sights. Or perhaps it was the ferocious eyes, staring blankly into the future, studying something rare enough to catch it's attention. This 'thing' whatever it was, was not friendly, nor accepting. This was a time for war, and that had become evident as the rest of it's body would begin to find a target for it's wild flailing. The earth had begun to suffer at the hands of the beast. It's light would dim the sky. It's coat glamorous and vivid, almost emitting an ungodly light that couldn't help but distract.

However, as Ibara would stand tall, his arms crossed as his back would retain it's erect position, he would notice that this light was in fact, quite holy. The rapid, and unpredictable scarring of the land would begin to effect even the massive fauna that this country had become famous for. Loose leaves would fall to their demise all around him. The single, sturdy tree branch in which he stood bouncing up and down with each horrendous blow to the earth's exterior. However, Ibara's stature would remain uncompromising. A tall black collar would surround any visibility to his neck, with two long, black sleeves preventing any visibility to the young man's arms as well. His fingers would dangle behind his elbows as his large, red oak bracelets would dangle loosely from his limp wrists. Even the baggy crotch of Ibara's pants would feel the shock, swaying slightly in the shock wave, while the legs of his harm pants would cling tightly to his calves and shins, only exposing his feet through the standard ninja sandals that most of his kind equipped. The only unerring portion of his wardrobe, would be the tightly wound Kumogakure hitai-ate which would proclaim that the small, oval grouping would signify his village, and allegiance. Exposed only after the shaking would shift his short black hair away from the glimmering hunk of metal, it would quickly fall back into hiding behind his hair.

Birds would continue to collect themselves. Fluttering from the forest and into the sky, why others appeared to be observing the entirety of the chaos from the safety of the sky. Circling around the beast from above, it was almost as if they were aware of the pack of wolves quietly surrounding their prey. Despite it's size, and ferocity, it was a target to a number of men and women that had been trained specifically to kill. No matter how much it's muscles would attack the ground, or how loud it would beckon to the heaven's and it's competitors to fear it; it was still the subject of interest. The ninja world had heard of it's presence, and sent their finest to dispose of it; the victor taking home the spoils in the process. Aside from the Kumogakure-nin that had accompanied him to this country, there were also ninja from Konohagakure, Kirigakure, Iwagakure and Sunagakure with the same goals: capture this beast. While all wolves, they ran with different packs. After the prey had been taken down, the alliance which made them all civil would quickly fade, and the arms race would continue within an instant. The mission stated that the safety of Kusa no Kuni was of the utmost importance, but if the Yonbi could be a weapon of the Cloud's, then it should be.

A quaint smile would begin to emerge from thin, olive lips of the giant, until twisted and deranged.

With one visible eye, a vibrant hazel stare would begin to show his excitement to be within such a close vicinity to such raw power. He had read about this beast in the Kumogakure libraries, and even heard of its activity during his days in the academy, but to think, that he would actually be fortunate enough to face it head on was more than he could have imagined. The grin that crossed his face would begin to transform into an equally twisted snicker that would eventually push a pleasant 'squeel' passed his lips.

"Kore ga tanoshī no 〜 ni narudarou." ["This is going to be fun~."] He would announce silently to himself, incapable of keeping his words to himself.

Clasping his hands together, Ibara would begin to form a short sequence of seals, completing all of them within what could easily pass as an instant. Finalizing his hands into the 'serpent' seal, the sudden burning of chakra would begin to circulate around his stomach. Within an instant a small cell of replicas would begin to form around him; birthed from the very tree he would stand on. They all stood tall, with traits that would make it impossible for anyone to tell the difference. However, the ability to compare resemblance would soon fade, as all five of the tall figures would begin to move. While one would stay close to him, the other four would start to move about in a number of directions. One of which heading down the tree, and joining the rest of his team nonchalantly, as if having been present the entire time, and just in time to hear Eiichiro's inquiry. The remainder of these doppelgangers would begin to make their way through the forest, in a stealthy attempt to both observe who else might be in the vicinity, as well as grow a bit closer to the tailed beast. It would be the original body of the Kumo-nin that would remain solitary however, his arms folding back into his chest as he would keep his eyes peeled, observing every moment that he could from the safety of 67 meters from 'ground zero.'

"Sore wa meihakude wanai? Wareware wa shizuka ni kansatsu shi, kōgeki ni tekisetsuna jikan matsu." ["Isn't it obvious? We observe silently and wait for the appropriate time to attack."] He would blurt out of turn, and more than likely without the question begin directed towards him.

[Ho Chi Minch]

Closer to the border of Kusa, Minch could feel a strong amount chakra within the air this was something that Minch was not use to. He quickly got a strike of fear in his heart as he heard super loud raars and random air blast everywhere it was not Gametime. He hopped down from the tree and began to dash further deeper into Kusa going to the place he was told to to feet his teammates. The closer he could get the more he seen people he had seen before in Kumogakure there he stopped next to a rather tall fellow; as he stopped he waited for the head person for more instructions.

[Iizuka]

Listening to that wandering hag back in Kumo, I had no idea what to expect. This "great danger" that her prophetic words had mentioned could have been nothing more than some dangerous animal. Then again, what I was looking upon could have just been sheer coincidence, for it fit her words exactly. Over rolling hills I caught sight of the beast, its tremendous roar echoing through the darkening skies as the Yonbi's hands were cast into the sides of hills, tearing the earth to shreds and reducing it to dust. Even I couldn't have suspected what was to come next. Clearly, however, it was the completion of the prophecy, for as I advanced over the hills of Kusa no Kuni a group of people came into sight.

I quickly increased my speed as I ran towards them. My headband had been long since placed away within the folds of my clothing, completely hidden from view. I was currently approaching from their right, and from my angle I caught the glitter of a headband. Within due time I would come to see that it was indeed the mark of Kumogakure, and so I slowed my approach, hoping to show no sign of ill intent. My arms extended and my palms opened to show that I held nothing with which I could cause harm and I didn't mean to in the first place. My pace would be halted to a slow walk as I came to the ninja.

"Bitsuyo, Atsu of Kumogakure. Please, I have been trapped in this land, have mercy and take my word for it." My eyes glittered with a certain sadness as I approached them, looking quickly around towards the Yonbi to watch as it ravaged the earth with ease. I turned my gaze again to them, seeing that they were clearly here to take care of the beast. I gulped, swallowing my actual fear as I looked up into the eyes of one of the ninja [Satsui], trying to implore for help with just my eyes. "I will help you with that, but please, take me home"

( Enter Atlas )

The destruction was prevalent; the effects of it reaching to the borders of Kusa no Kuni on all sides. Fields of tall grass, its jade green blades dancing as a violent breeze swept through the area, was only upstaged by the sheer tremor of power that coursed throughout the earth beneath my feet. I was entering the heart of a bijuu's rampage, but I would not enter it alone. As my booted feet trekked over green high ground, I would catch sight of the infamous Yonbi. A muscular ape of enormous size and ferocity. Its very manifestation was proof of a power beyond our own, beyond the hidden villages. One that was currently free and untamed.

A porcelain white mask covered the right side of my face. A glistening copper cross hung loosely on a chain around my neck. A black hooded coat buttoned firmly around my torso, its tail flowing behind me as I dashed and leaped towards the location where Kumogakure's ninja had gathered. Though relatively obscured under my dark articles of clothing, the protectorates and armor I had grown so accustomed to wearing were currently on my person. The porcelain white mask, only half of the protectorate that was meant to shield my facial features, would be reunited with its second half once I headed off to face the dreaded beast, and all those who sought its power- allies and opponents alike.

Aside from that, all the accessories and items I had purchased in Kumogakure were currently on my possession, including the weaponry and scrolls I'd felt comfortable with bringing along. Today I would participate in the taming of a bijuu; to stand beside my country and its soldiers, and all of those allied with us. Footfalls carried me to the epicenter of the gathering of Kumogakure's finest. A few familiar faces here and there; and some that I had to admit were relatively new to my eyes. But I was sure that a majority of them (if not all) recognized my countenance then and there. The Nidaime Raikage, the leader of Kumogakure for the past eight years, wasn't someone who could manage to keep his face hidden from his own public for very long.

With the number of Kumogakure agents present, I would assume that we had all finally gathered as the one thunderous force we were. I approached a lonely grass hill at the back of the small group, overlooking the vast plain and outcrop of trees that stood between us and the limbed powerhouse tearing the ground apart in the shaky distance. "That's a mighty big ape." I commented with a grin, half-turned to the monster I was referring to. Shifting my emerald gaze to the squadron of capable Cloud ninja to my side, I continued. "You all know what to do, men. Hit it hard, hit it fast, hit it smart. I want you all alive and well at the end of this, y'hear? And be damn sure this thing doesn't leave Kusa no Kuni without a pretty little leash around its neck."

"We can't go in hear acting like we run this show, just because it doesn't matter if we are defeated in battle." Metsu would say as his eyes began to strain as the land under him began to shake as if someone was actually causing an earthquake. This had been the first time the Hyuuga would be faced with a real task since the war times, he was more then ready for it thought he just had to make sure he kept an level head while dealing with this whole situation. With a slight turn of his head he would place his eye's on his companion that he had met up with once he arrived in the country of Kusa no Kuni. "Maseo, take this." The prospecting Kazekage would reach into his bag handing his partner a tracker and a radio, "This should be good for you, that way you can increase you're line of sight, while also being able to keep in contact with me." Metsu would say as he his eyes stay focused on the large red monkey that was running about a good 80 meters away from the duo. It seemed if the monster was becoming restless and needed to be tamed by the Shinobi of our great world. 'Well at least we kind of know what we are up against, looks to be a giant monkey comprised of pure Chakra, I think this big muther will be using the Lava element from what I can see.' shou voice would go on to echo through out the young Hyuuga's head as his just barely reached site of the Yonbi. "Well, long story short Maseo I don't want you out here dying so don't anything to reckless try your best to stay alert and watch what's going on around you, you know treat this like war times even when It comes to Shinobi from other villages beware of those from the Leaf and from Iwagakure. They might be the one's out here looking for more then just capturing Yonbi thanks to our glorious Nindaime Kazekage." The Hyuuga would say with a faint smile on his face as he began to move around a little as if he was getting ready to do some dumb shit. "Well I'm going to go camp in these trees for awhile don't mind me." The Hyuuga would say as he started to ascend the side of his tree of choice. "I'm going to scoop out what everyone here along with the Yonbi is capable off using my good old white eyes." the Hyuuga would say as he hid him self in between the branches blending right in with them. Now his eye's were fixed on the battlefield, he wouldn't want anything more to have all of his nin that came here to return back to suna after this done, it's the one goal he set for him self while he came here. "Welp do ya thing Maseo don't be reckless now, you're important to our village remember that." The Hyuuga would say one last time before his focus was changed complete on the topic at hand. 'I hope no one tries anything here, I know there has to be some Konoha and Iwagakure Ninja here, we gotta keep our eyes locked so we don't catch any surprises ya know metsu.' Shou's voice would echo throughout the Hyuuga's head as his eye's wondered watching the Yonbi run rampant and the few people in the surrounding area. "Yeah, I got this shit. But know if we are tested to that point I'm gonna kill someone k?" Metsu would say smoothly as he adjusted his body up in the tree he was standing in. SPOILER: Click to show Radio Tracker.

Thank-you kazekage-dono." I sopke with solace, standing some eighty meters from the beast in the tall grass. I stared upon the radiant creature with both a sense of awe, and dread. We were quite some space away, but even so, I could sense the dark chakra radiating from the beast, throughout my very core. The destruction it had already wrought through the land was beyond description, and beyond comparison. This creature made what had happened to Konoha almost a decade ago look like minor vandalism. I took the transmitter and the tracker as they were given, happy to find the aid of new tools in this fight. I donned the headset swiftly, and reached back, affixing the tracker over Isao's eye. "Well brother, looks like you get to be my range-finder." To be fair, it would be helpful to know just how far he was from me. With that in mind, my archery would be that much more effective, even though I only had a few tricks up my sleeve for a foe of this size and strength. Needless to say, I was already busy preparing them, my hands swiftly affixing the paper to the shafts of my bolts, making sure they were wrapped tight. I didn't want the beast knowing what I was planning until it was too late for it to react. ____________________ "Shoumetsu's right, Masao... We need to be careful. This thing is... scary..." And it truly was. The creature was a monster. A behemoth, even. He moved throughout the land smashing and destroying so much that it was literally frightening. If it weren't for Masao's iron will, I wasn't sure I'd have the courage to face such a beast. The earth shook beneath our feet, as the Sandaime to be had departed, leaving just my brother and I standing some eighty meters from the beast. We weren't exactly near any of the others who Masao could see off in the distance, either, which was fortunate. I didn't want to get caught up with any of them, especially in a place where a death could so easily be construed to have been caused by the creature before us. Either way, my own hands were busy at work, likewise aiding my brother in his manufacturing of his arms. Hopefully they would be of some use to us in this upcoming fight. Sadly enough, I knew that I wouldn't be of very much use at all. I had to trust Masao. "Please... be careful, Masao..." [/style]

I don't think anyone else is showing up for the villages here, so I'm going to let Mist know that it's their turn to post. Once their ninja have had a chance to enter, I'm going to lock entering and begin posting the battle.
