Once more the entire scene that unfolded before your very eyes returned to what seemed to be the area's natural state darkness. Once more the alabaster lights that outlined this entity's body remained with you still 5 meters across. However, something happened before you very, eyes, so quick, so sudden that it seemed unreal, but after experience everything within this alternate universe the unreal hadn't seemed so unrealistic. Its face and body, began to melt and slowly mold itself into what appeared to be a human being, a man, naked and his skin just as equally bright as the light that surrounded him. He stood up and turned around, giving you his back with perfect, smooth, bare cheeks as he looked back over his shoulder.

"Good souls within the world? With all of the chaos that has been spreading not throughout your own land, but the entire world itself, there is no room for 'good' souls. Perhaps one might perform an act of 'good' merely to selfishly gain the satisfaction of doing something good and productive when it is nothing but an illusion. Making yourself believe that all the sins you've committed will simply be washed away. You ninja are trifling creatures. I've talked to a great many others like yourself who preach about the 'goodness' of themselves or others, yet, they're the very beings who turn around and wage war against neighboring countries.

. . .So, Anemone Umeko, have you also fallen victim to this age-old, self-inflicted illusion? "

Ao stepped back to allow room for the newly presented Shinobi who seemed to have entered the fray with a extensive knowledge of Fuuton chakra. With furor, he let loose a destructive gust of wind which appeared have their opponents names written all over it, however, it seemed as though he had something else planned. It was at that point that Ao realized he could help further the shinobi's plan without putting himself in harms way, nor his brother!

Ao took this time to gather chakra within his lungs as he watched his brother curve around towards their opponents.

Ao, standing upon his hind legs like that of a human, with his next breath he released a large stream of fire from his parted maw which traveled 24 meters (8mps) in 3 solid seconds. However, before they flames themselves reached their desired length, a bright, quick-second flash erupted over a short distance, nothing that alarmed Ao. Nevertheless, those rushing streams of flame separated into four separate streams (each with 5m inbetween) which then began to alter and mold into a carbon copy of Ao himself! Four clones, comprised purely of Katon chakra now stood in a assembly line, shoulder to shoulder with only 5 meters of space in between and only 18 meters in between them and the closest opponent (Bit). Immediately after having been given the privilege of life, the duplicates began to channel and gather their own chakra along with Ao.

Given his size, paralleling himself about 48-50 meters from their righter most flank had been far from difficult considerin' that a bear their own size could move much faster

Simultaneously

Dayo, who previously took off to his own left to curve around to his opponents right most flank on all fours, now at his opponent(s) immediate rear (Eiichiro being closest to him), made a sharp 90 degree angle turn. Although he managed to hide, a bears sense of smell remained uncontested within the animal kingdom which in turn allowed Dayo to pinpoint the location of the nearest prey, namely by a hint of sulfur coupled with his bodily scent. With that he merely closed the distance between Eiichiro and himself to about 20 meters, traveling at a max speed of 6 meters per second. The man was a fool if he expected a family of bears, whose sense far exceeded their own in every conceivable way, would fall victim to such elementary forms of trickery.

Prep w/ clones _________

As the wall reached its maximum height of 100 meters and toppled over with the topmost part of the wall leading first, a series of assault was waiting for him from above. Before all of that, a fairly large hole had been blown through the walk exterior, large enough for the airborne opponent to slid through unharmed. Even from their distance Masuyo managed to hear the mans words albeit barely. He hadn't been obligated to answer him nor divulge into the reason why he had been doing this, if anything he'd have placed this blood upon Shiju's hands. Were his Sensei over the Sage arts not so vague in terms of 'completing an impossible task, this could have been prevented. With his village destroyed and trying to save his sister, what impossible task was there to actually complete. He had been willing to put his life on the line to destroy this capital in hopes it would have granted him the power of being a true Sage!

Namyeol himself, who, regressed back to a more 'natural' positioning upon all fours, had not been one to sit back and do nothing. As a warrior and the leader of the bears for centuries, the principles and integrity he established would not have been broken so easily, not by meager pieces of paper. Masuyo, along with Namyeol and his trustworthy earth titan watched the aftermath of the wall and the man merge from it as near-invisible objects began to plummet from the sky. The first line of spikes struck the apex of the titan's head, but only strong enough to chip the surface. A following layer continued to pelt its body from above which caused its left hand to form a cup and raise over its shoulder to cover Masuyo, keeping him from harm. A small opening was still enough to allow some light to come in, which also had been enough for Masuyo's voice to travel through the crevices of his Titan's fingers to warn his companion.

"NAMYEOL SOMETHINGS COMING FROM ABOVE!!!"

Alert and warned, the chakra that he harness moments before came to life as his paws slammed into the ground which caused a spherical orb of intense flames to outwardly spread in all directions with him as its center. Controlling his own flames, he allowed it to span outwardly in all directions (including along the ground) with a fifty meter range

This battle, this attack, this war, to the civilians there had been know concievable way that it could have gotten any worse than it was. Remarkably wrong they were. The sounds of screaming men and women running in terror never stopped as the sound of destruction followed suit in its own right. Ao and Dayo could see the fight with their father continue as they themselves carried out actions of their own while greeted by a puny shinobi who seemed to have stepped in-between them. He made a proposal to offer his help in exchange to meet the very man who caused such destruction, Masuyo Kekkai. The merely smiled and nodded their heads as they continued on with the fight at hand. The fact that the smaller ally was stringing handseals was a tell-tale sign he had something up his sleeve

They were quite impressed at his proposal truthfully, finally realizing that Masuyo hadn't been the only shinobi they've ran across other than Kouketsu and Shiju who had the balls to further their own goals with uncontested power. Both brothers looked back out upon the battlefield as Ao suddenly jerked with pain, experiencing a quick-second jolt of electricity where he only seemed to have caught the edge of the technique. The pinch of pain only occurred within his feet and seemed as though it had been unable to travel any further. An annoying 'tch' escaped from Ao's lungs as a explosion seemed to have rocked the earth far into the distance, followed by cloud of billowing smoke. The sound and physical indications had roughly been about 38 meters to Ao's own north-west direction, up and right.

"That could be that ash spewing ninja.

With the new ally directly inbetween Ao and his brother, judging form the position and where the opponents position was now reveal, Ao had actually been in the smaller shinob's way, and with that he'd simply take two giant steps back, which placed him 10 meters back (48 from bit & vega, 10 behind sohyo)

"To your north-west seems to be some commotion, we can't sense anything but I have a hunch that, that is where they are positioned at. You seem to be ready to attack, so lets see what kind of power you can show us."

Having stepped back to give the smaller man room for whatever it is he planned with a strenuous series of handseals, Dayo - who was on the left of the smaller ally- sheathed his nodachi and reverted back on all fours (now about 10 meters tall) as he began to curve around in a circle while not actually reducing the distance. Given his size, paralleling himself about 48-50 meters from their righter most flank had been far from difficult considerin' that a bear their own size could move much faster, Dayo, was on a entirely different scale. To Dayo there had been no point in actually sticking with Ao now that both maintained a visual upon their location.

Having known their positions, their presence's could be seen as well, given the height of Ao and the keen sense of sight that that dwarfed humans which accompanied most predatory animals. Ao took this time to gather chakra within his lungs as he watched his brother curve around towards their opponents.

All the while Ao stepped back to observe momentarily, he noticed off into the distance back where his father and Masuyo were, a 100 meter high and wide wall of earth sprouted from the ground, casting a shadow from even where this battle had been taken place. However, the shadow was short lived as it seeme to have fallen over to lay waste to 100x100 meters of land. Impressive.

[OOC: Given that the others have moved to a different district to avoid clutter, posting order just follows Katsu and Myself]

As the earthen titan emerged from the bowels of earth itself, it taken the shape and appearance of its creator, Masuyo Kekkai. The titan was identical to its creator in every conceivable way, all except for the weapons that the smaller of the two housed within his packs and robes. Having stepped around to Namyeol's righter most flank, the built in defense from the earth itself coupled with the base defense the titan itself totted allowed it to have easily withstood the burning ash plume until it faded. Its massive body in height and width was used to bring cover to Namyeol to keep him safe which to Masuyo was of primary concern. Given that Masuyo stood firmly upon the titan's shoulder, chakra laced to the bottom-side of his feet, it was safe to say that he himself was safe above (height of ash plume never really clarified).

Eventually it reached its maximum distance, just short of Namyeol, and by that time the airborne opponent managed to ascend even higher into the air itself above the speeding balls of flame. It was during this time that the possiblity of a counter-attack would be launched, but in the form of what?! From that distance and height, Masuyo couldn't tell what it was exactly, however, something had definitely came his way and refused to hesitate just to find out. A quick stomp from his much larger doppelganger, without the need of hand-seals or build-up time. A gargantuan wall of earth propelled upwardly from the ground and into the air. The wall itself seemed to have spanned horizontally across the land by 100 meters, matched that same distance in height.

Although the paper moved at alarming speeds, so did the rising wall of earth, however, one ball managed to make it over the wall before it blocked off the others. How? At the last minute a arched ball of paper managed to make it over the wall with inches to spare, gunning for Namyeol. Whatever that was it couldn't have been good at all which led to the titan's hand to upon its creators behest, reaching out with its left hand (open palm) in a lateral fashion. Considering the height of the titan, it was safe to say that its arm length as a whole expanded well over ten meters, which allowed it to ultimately catch the ball even without fully knowing its contents.

"I've got your back old sage, can't imagine what shiju would do if I'd have gotten you injured because of this."

He expressed a few words as his Titan's respective arm reached out to the wall that had been within hands reach. A powerful push from a powerful entity caused the wall to tip, and eventually fall over. A remarkably huge, encompassing shadow (from the mud wall) foreshadowed the imminent destruction of a large portion of the capital if this method of destruction would have gone uninterrupted. Not only would it have possibly smashed the air born opponent if he continued to ascend, it would have also taken the lives of hundreds if not thousands of civilians within a 100x100 meter area.

Meanwhile

Alert and ready, near-instantly Namyeol reduced his height to a meager 30 meters, namely by simply returning to his natural state up movement upon all fours. The Sage bear watched as the wall fell, which gave him time to accumulate time for more acts of destruction.

With only 10 meters of space separating the brotherly duo, they looked to each others and broke off into a series of laughter and looked at one another. Their heads turned back towards Masuyo watched Masuyo express his extensive knowledge of the doton arts off in the distance along side their father, Namyeol. The two were fairly confident that with Their fathers power alone combined with the determination Masuyo displayed during his Senjutsu tutelage with Shiju-sama, they had high hopes for the young lad and refused to hesitate in helping.

"Heh, who would have thought a puny little Akadou boy like him would have come so far. Very impressive."

Dayo mockingly said as he continued to grip the hilt of his sheathed nodachi.

"Yeah but regardless, we have a job to finish."

Dayo nodded as he looked out upon the chaotic battlefield with a heightened sense of sight that no human could have possibly exceeded. Additionally given his high it had not been hard for him to see through the alleyways and streets between building, but even then they still managed to become an eye sore. Dayo, who stood to the left of his brother- turned and faced his own leftward flank while concurrency releasing the gigantic nodachi from his aching sheathe. Standing at a approx height of twenty-five meters, it was safe to say that at minimum his arms length spanned out to be roughly 10 meters long. His humanoid like legs crouch to get closer to the ground where his sword horizontally slid across a portion of the city.

Dayo's own nodachi was customized for his own size, its blade forged to be as thigh as a small buildings in comparison to a humans own. The blade itself, powered by Dayo's immense strength, uprooted buildings, trees, and layers of earth alike Meanwhile Ao's lungs filled with Katon chakra as he blew forth yet another 90 degree cone of ash that spread across a 20 meter expanse within 2 seconds. Making use of a addition 2 seconds, his head turned to his head to the right to cover a even larger (another 90 degree) area before clicking his teeth which caused a second napalm like explosion. Within seconds he layed waste to a even large section of the city than he did in his previous attempt.

This battle only happened in a matter of seconds, truthfully it hadn't been that long since the attack itself started. Civilians were still present; out of the thousands or possibly billions that resided within the capitals walls, all could not have evacuated in a matter of seconds. Cries and screams filled the air as the smell of burnt flesh and blood billowed into the atmosphere.
