The Leviathan's Labyrinth [Northern Sea]

[Nyanki]

In the frigid waters north of Waterfall Country and east of Earth Country lies an island. It is unknown when it was built, but some sort of monument sits upon it. Somewhat of a building of sorts.

Circular, it appears as though a serpent is wrapped around it, although it is just part of the stony design. On the side facing west and towards Earth Country is a giant head. It looks like something between a dragon and an eel. (Image (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/SamuraiPizzaCat/talknaruto/RPG/eeldragon.jpg), will make a better one when I can.)

Someone awaits before the rock monster's face. It is Ojisan, a middle-aged man who seems to be the one who knows what's what here. But what is this place? All we know is from the following announcement that was sent throughout the Ninja land:
Interested in prizes? Fame? Glory?

Then come to the island of the Leviathan, east of Earth Country and Iwagakure. The first to make their way through the Leviathan's Labyrinth is the one to win!

Do you have what it takes? Do you?

Edit: For now, the Leviathan's mouth lays wide open. It awaits those who wish to take the challenge.

So far of the inside, this is a simplified map of what rooms have been come across already, with the first room being A0 (and the ones with monster fights in them are marked):

Ah! The sea's air is fresh! Once again the leader of Tsumi stepped through his portal, Pure white cloaks and masks followed, the rest of the organization. There was the tall man, who no one knew. And the young boy, with grey hair. Their masks made it so nothing could be seen, besides their eyes, their hateful, evil eyes..

Oh god.. The brilliant blue eyed shinobi was speaking to the wind..

This is going to be great! Who wouldn't want fame and fortune? And I bet we will meet tons of new people! The white cloaked Kaguya obviously forgot he was a part of an evil group, whose masks meant death to the victim who saw them. He didn't have a care in the world.

I guess we just wait.. The leader layed next to the statue, dozing off. His dreams would be exciting to say the least.

[Nyanki]

(ooc: Need to make this thing move!)

"It seems the message was sent out alright," echoed a voice through the air. A man suddenly appeared before the giant mouth of the stone monster. He appeared to be middle-aged. His hair was black with mixes of dark gray, especially noticeable in his beard. His facial hair ran from beneath his nose, around his mouth, and to his chin, ending in a slight point. The man's clothes were that of a dark blue keikogi-like shirt and black regular pants. On his feet were igusa zori sandals.

[Anbuhaku]

A bat came flying from no where swooping down and landing. cale fell off of it in huff. the cut's on his back and leg were bandaged up and he layed down spreading his arm's out wide. "ahh." he fell into a deep sleep the bat sat there next to him a little uncomfortable liking to be upside down more but he would sit and watch over his master.

[Cliche]

One of the Tsumi looked at the bat and then looked back to the sea, not paying much attention to him.

Another of the Tsumi, the leader in fact layed his gaze upon the owl.. The hell.. The leader stood up and walked silently to the owl, his enormous blade in hand already. he then simply poked the owl with it, not hard enough to hurt. His curiosity was peaked. And he poked again.

The last present member of The organization, and the youngest of them just exclaimed Ooh! Its so soft!! by then he was also poking the bat..

[Jetkid]

'Thank God, I've finally found it!' Mamoru had been searching for hours and she was now extremely exhausted. She saw several men in odd uniforms, and an older man who didn't look like a shinobi. The uniformed men put her on edge, and she chose a spot farther away from them and closer to the old man. "Is this Leviathan's Labyrinth? And who are you?" she asked the old man as she took a seat on the ground, leaning her head against a rock. Her eyelids felt heavy, and she fought off sleep, waiting for the man to answer her.

[shadewolfshikamaru]

ooc: hey is it all right if i join you guys my character is already posted up in the characters list all you have to do is find shadewolfshikamarus character

[Nyanki]

There were so many people. It was looking good. "Yes, this is the place," the man answered. "Some call me Lotan." He turned to everyone. "But you all may call me Ojisan."

He looked to the people before him. "Is it safe to assume that all of you are here to take...." The man paused.

Suddenly, he jumped to his left. Ta-tat-tat went his sandals against the earth. The man threw out his arms, then twisted his waist toward the Leviathan's head, making his right arm point at it. "THE GREAT CHALLENGE AND WIN SOMETHING FABULOUS!?" It was all in the tone of an excited game show host. Who really was this guy?

[Anbuhaku]

OOC:you put owl instead of bat for the leader..

IC: the bat shifted over awkwardly. cale opened one eye and looked at the person and kid "they're lucky it's Ariel rather then Ares ( The biggest and eldest bat) other wise they'd be eaten" "You don't need to poke you can pet.. though he's not a pet and can eat you freely. His name is Ariel" he looked at the kid. the bat nodded in agreement and opened it's mouth showing a vast arrey of teeth and very large inscissors. though cale was evil to some that didn't mean he was evil to all. What are your names? this time he looked at The man, kid and past them to the one sitting alone.
----------------------------------
Cale then looked at the Older man who was shouting about a fabulous prize and nodded at him to show he said yes

[Cliche]

That's what we're here for. Can we get on with it? The leader spoke for the rest of the infamous group, his smile never faltering. The rest of Tsumi looked at the crazy man as if he were infact just that, crazy.

Though they were all cloaked in white and wearing masks, they all gave off different aura's. The leader, a chilidish demonic one. The other man, a complete mystery. And the kid, innocence. No names. The leader smiled beneath the mask..

[shadewolfshikamaru]

Leo: *whew* finally made it

[Cliche]

Ooc: might want to read the rules, shadewolfshikamaru

[schrodinger]

Zuruuk was now thoughroughly ticked off...he was on the damn island.....if he didnt find the head soon......he silently promised himself that when the ordeal was over, he was going to make some damn maps and post them....there was nothing like a helpfull "YOU ARE HERE" Zuruuk grumbled....and then realised that he was staring directly at a small crowd of people...... "Oh.....so now i find the f***ing mouth thing...." he said grumpily......

[Jetkid]

ooC: Rofl xD
Nyanki, can you use a different colour? I can hardly read that blue >.<

IC: "Ojisan, why you bring us here? And what is here? What we doing?" Mamoru was having a very hard time staying awake, let alone forming coherent sentences. "And where I sleep?"

[schrodinger]

Zuruuk looked critically at the crowd....then at the still posing man.... "Is he some dumbass statue? Or are we waiting for him to talk?" Zuruuk asked, no one in particular...... Zuruuk was not in a good mood...not in the least......this was partly because he had missed breakfast, and mostly because that idiot rakki had shown up at his house and half dragged him to this god damned island. Zuruuk contemplated why he hadnt just punched rakki in the face.....he sighed....oh well...too late now......zuruuks only pleasing thought was that rakki was now hanging upsidown from a tree with leaves stuffed up his noze......

Just then however, rakki emerged from the brush.....couphing slightly, and rubbing his noze...... "Was that really nessasary?" Rakki asked zuruuk, seeming a bit put out.....

[Anbuhaku]

cale stood up recharged from his long nap on the bat's back but still cramped he stood up and stretched. Thank you Ariel with that the bat poofed away. Cale looked at the man in the mask was a good four inch's taller then him he was far enough back where he didn't need to look up. he gave a sly grin then looked away from the man. his whip was destroyed in the fight with the Kage so he would have no primary weapon for sometime. he frowned kushaku destroyed by that Dick stupid Kaze kage he muttered. "he didn't like anyone who hurt girls he rememberd the kage sayin. well any one like that is obviously sexist and thinking girls can't handle themselves in a fight. " he wished he had said it then but had only just thought of such a good come back. he looked at the man, and kid's in there matching outfit's "do you jave some sort of club or somethin?" seeing how the man stood like he was top dog made Cale a little annoyed so he purposely choose those words to test the man's reaction

[Jetkid]

"Alright, we've arrived." Minori informed his team. He expected an uproar from his team, but even Kamiko was too tired to say anything. All five of them unrolled their packs in a circle pattern, just as they had done on their month long survival training trip when they became genin. Minori's three students fell asleep the moment their heads hit their thin pillows, but Minori stayed awake, listening to the conversation the other shinobi were having.

[Anthony Sky]

On the edge of the island stood a man wearing a White cloak with golden leaf embroiled on to the shoulder that reached down and across his chest. The man slowly removed his hood. It was Tokuzen Moto his feathery black spiky messy hair thrashed in the winds of the sea while his golden tanned skinned glistened in the sun. His sharp and handsome brown eyes looked forward scanning the area. 'Well this seems to be interesting" He said as he walked forward that slowly turned to a jog then a run. Tokuzen soon saw a middle-aged man with sharp black and gray beard. Tokuzen soon came to a stop as he was only five or so feet away from the man. Tokuzen stopped in the back of the group his Konoha head banned around his forehead seemed to stick out. 'I hope I have not missed anything yet" Tokuzen said to himself as he looked to the others. Tokuzen looked around notice the people in matching white uniforms and laughed a little to load 'What losers wear matching clothes" Tokuzen said under his breath when he was really thinking something else "Tsumi..." Tokuzen was powerful and well knew shinobi and he was also very good at collecting information and filling in the blanks.

[Cliche]

The leader appeared within feet of the man. His sword about a centimeter from his forehead. Yes you could call us that. Want to buy some cookies? His devilish grin concealed by the mask made him seem emotionless, of course his words were just the opposite. Full of cheer and laughter. Not a care in the world. But of course, he was the leader of Tsumi and not to be under-estimated.

The other man similiar in build and height was another opposite of The Leader. Completely serious and calm. His cloak flowed cooly in the breeze of the ocean, cool, swift, and crisp. Just then he turned, he noticed another presence. But decided to keep it to himself, for now.he then turned back to face the leader and the other man. No fights. Not yet.. He muttered under the mask to Toko. Of course the leader knew that, but wouldn't falter under the words of the other.

[Nyanki]

ooc: hey is it all right if i join you guys my character is already posted up in the characters list all you have to do is find shadewolfshikamarus character

Leo: *whew* finally made it
OOC MOD: Oops, didn't see your post. You have to type in paragraph form, which is the style you see everyone else doing. So, you could instead do something like:

Leo arrived on the island. He had borrowed a boat and sailed all the way to it. "Whew! Finally made it," he said as he stepped onto shore.

^I made up a way you could've gotten here, in case you can't think of one.

Also, is Leo the first name of your character? Because it only says Wolf on his profile in the Naruto list.

Anyway, just fix that up, and continue!

(ooc: lol Jetkid, I will only change the color because this is an event. But know you can just highlight the text if you have trouble seeing it.)


Ojisan could sense a tension in the air, one of those with a bad attitude. But it was being balanced by those with more positive ones. He came out of his pose and stroked his short beard. "This is quite an interesting bunch. So the outcome will be interesting." A smirk appeared on his face, with a shine in his eyes.

He reached into his sleeve. He saw that there were some newcomers. "You are just in time. You can call me Ojisan."

From his sleeve, the man pulled out three scrolls. "Within the sea serpent lies a maze. If you can find your way through, you will win quite the prize. And if that isn't enough for whatever reason, you will still have the fact that you beat everyone in all of the ninja world. Especially those here."

Ojisan looked to each face in the crowd. With three flicks of his wrist, Ojisan tossed the scrolls in different directions. To his front, his left, and his right. "Don't be greedy, take only one. But those who get it are those who get it." They each hit the ground with a light clack sound, then rolled slightly. "If anything, do not open it yet."

[Hauclir]

Jiran had arrived with Autarii flying overhead, he was just in time to hear the current instructions, exhausted he dawdled over to the scrolls grabbed one, and heaving a great sigh he collapsed onto the ground..He reached into his pocket and retrieved a military ration pill, he popped it into his mouth, sat up and lazily looked at Ojisan awaiting further instructions.

[Jetkid]

ooC: Thanks :D My minimouse broke (I use a laptop most of the time), and it's hard to scroll/highlight stuff with the touchpad xD

IC: Junichi covered one scroll in sand and moved it over to their group, in the hands of Minori actually. Junichi hardly ever slept, and he felt bad for his teammates, who would have a hard time staying awake, let alone concentrating enough to get through a maze. He looked at Etsuko's beautiful face and smiled. He had given her his pillow, knowing he wouldn't sleep anyway, in hopes that she could at least be comfortable in her rest for a few minutes. Junichi loved watching Etsuko sleep, when her face was calm because all her problems went away in her dreams. A single tear slid down his eye as he sat up, preparing to wake his teammates as soon as Minori told him to.

Ojisan could sense a tension in the air, one of those with a bad attitude. But it was being balanced by those with more positive ones. He came out of his pose and stroked his short beard. "This is quite an interesting bunch. So the outcome will be interesting." A smirk appeared on his face, with a shine in his eyes.

And if that isn't enough for whatever reason, you will still have the fact that you beat everyone in all of the ninja world. Especially those here."

Ojisan looked to each face in the crowd. With three flicks of his wrist, Ojisan tossed the scrolls in different directions. To his front, his left, and his right. "Don't be greedy, take only one. But those who get it are those who get it." They each hit the ground with a light clack sound, then rolled slightly. "If anything, do not open it yet."

Tokuzen simply smiled at the man and his blade for Tokuzen tracked his every movement so there was no shock in his speed. 'You know that would be great but I am in training , so no cookies for me' Tokuzen then walked casually by the man and his blade 'Good luck" Tokuzen said as he mad his way to one of the scroll and picked it up and waited for further instructions.

[Cliche]

Likewisee~ Toko's sing-song voice was nothing but insane, he then jumped onto the head where the labyrinth man was. The scroll still concealed, he wanted to open it, and the man telling him not to only made him want to that much more. Damn.. He was pretty bored and wanted to hurry up and claim the prize.

The others just sat around the leader in a traingular formation, and though their joking and don't seem like it. Tsumi is a force to be reckoned with.. but the other man. The newest member.. who was he? And just how powerful? The truth was he was probably stronger then even the leader of the group. But of course no one knew that.

[Jetkid]

'Dammit, I didn't get a scroll! Being tired is no excuse either, damn I need to train with Byakurai on concentration or going without sleep or something!' Mamoru had lost focus and missed an important opportunity, but that didn't mean she couldn't make up for it. Walking over to the Suna squad, she said, "Hello ally. My name is Mamoru, I'm a member of anbu from Konoha, as you can tell by my mask. I suggest we team up, it would greatly benefit all of us." Mamoru hoped they didn't think she just made this proposal because they had a scroll.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen stood clam and relaxed with peaceful smile and his brown eyes showing warmth that was nearly comparable to 10th Hokage. 'So I have the Tsumi , A bunch of Suna shinobi , A Iwa Shinobi Jounnin maybe higher , A Exkumo Shinobi and A Mamoru Uchiha from the village....This is not going to be easy" Tokuzen thought to himself as he let out a deep sigh from scanning and scouting out his opponent's. The true feeling he was getting through was excitement just like he had when he competed in the Grand Shinobi Tournament but unfortunately he was unable to finish the tournament do to it being canceled from the threat of the devious and most powerfull group of rouge shinobi sense the first Akatsuki . The Tasogare. As a Jounnin Tokuzen had personally fought there leader Keisu Myakkan but failed to kill Keisu do to exhaustion and low chakra from fighting his group of experiments.

Tokuzen smiled and even started to shaky lightly from his excitement 'This is going to be fun' Tokuzen said to himself.

[Nyanki]

"These scrolls," began Ojisan once the three were picked up, "each allow you to escape the Labyrinth. But only one person. And should you want to come back, you must start from the beginning all over again." The man shuffled his feet against the ground as he readjusted his stance. "Some say the Leviathan is alive, others say cursed. One reason is because its walls are impenetrable by any and all jutsu."

Ojisan put his hands behind his back and had his hands clasp each other. "There is no teleportation, no X-Ray vision. No, none of that. The special walls prevent it." He looked up a bit and tilted his head slightly as he thought. "I guess you could compare it to a barrier of sorts." The man chuckled a bit. "So that means no cheating."

He turned back and looked up to Toko, shaking his head. "You shouldn't stand up there," he said, as the eyes of the statue head began to glow a bright white.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen slightly leaned to the left in pose kind of thing 'So it begins" Tokuzen said as he watched the eyes of the mighty stone serpent glow bright white. 'I will complete this venture with honor and grace not just for my Daughter and Wife but for my Clan and Village" Tokuzen was ready to go just like when he was a mere Jounnin in the Grand Shinobi tournament.

[Cliche]

There was something missing from Tsumi. By far their strongest member.. said to be of the five great Kumo warriors. And yet, the youngest of them. He dropped from the sky, his own white cloak flowing wildly. His aura was so dark and intense any low level nin would easily be frozen with fear. He didn't say a word, only stood next to the Tsumi.

Ok weirdo. the statement was meant for oji, as Toko jumped down next to the man who had just joined. Oh, thought you were gonna miss it. Toko smiled once again under his mask.

Now who the hell was this man? It was obvious he was stronger then the leader, and probably even the other man. Was he Tsumi?

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen jumped back stumbling backwards on too his butt. As the man laned on the ground from what seemed to be nowhere "Whe...wher...where did he come from" Most people who have not seen Tokuzen before would be asking themselves Could this man really be a Shinobi let alone a Konoha Shinobi. Tokuzen got back to his feet and brushed off his clothes and re gained his composer. But it was strange such a goofball of man that was shocked and even fell on to his butt yet was somehow unaffected by the guys aura in the slightest bit.

[Nyanki]

"Tch, tch, tch, tch, tch," sounded Ojisan as he shook his head in response for the new person. "No respect for your elders." He smiled a bit, as that was the way of the young people.

He clapped his hands and rubbed them together. "Why don't we start this thing already?" Ojisan looked to the crowd and snapped his fingers.

Suddenly the Leviathan's mouth began to open. The sound the statue made as it moved was screechy, making it seem like it was letting out a roar. Slowly, but surely, it opened wider. And wider. Steam poured like winter breath from it. The opening continued until the top of the mouth was at an angle of about 75 or 80 degrees. Not too far from pointing straight up.

In the back of its mouth, where the throat would be, was a doorway.

"You may begin. If you need me, just call." He examined each of the faces who were waiting to go inside. Which one of them would make it? Or would a newcomer take the prize? Only time would tell. "But do keep in mind that this is no ordinary maze. No, it is much more."

(ooc: OK, no crazily running through and going through several rooms/passages. If you guys have played the old Zelda game for NES (or one of the remakes) this is going to work similarly to that. You take this one room at a time.)

[Cliche]

Let's do it! The leaders sinister laugh echoed as he walked into the mouth, opening the door to all. Finally Was all the other man said in response to Oji. The new comer didn't say a word. Not yet. He simply walked behind the Tsumi. And the youngest of them spoke up. Were going to go all the way! His eyes glinted with happyness and content.

None of them knew what layed in the path ahead. But a lot could be acomplished with three S-class Ninja. And their little chuunin.

[schrodinger]

Rakki pumped his fist up and down... "YESSSSS" he said happily......zuruuk sighed, and walked to the door.....and, his one hand on the hilt of a blade, he opened the door........ "it was dark.....zuruuk grumbled some more then shouted at oji "Hey, you.....does this place have lights by any chance?" he asked..... "Or are you waiting for a dramatic cue....." zuruuk finished with a glare that clearly said, 'im pissed either way'

Rakki on the other hand grinned from ear to ear...... "This is gonna be awsome...especialy in the dark." he said......he was like a little kid.......an exessively powerful little kid.......

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen did some funny stretches and jumped up and down a few time as he got himself ready like some fool. 'Lets go' Tokuzen said to himself as he walked forward into the mouth of the stone beast. 'I should keep my eyes open , For someone might jump me to keep from completing this mission of mine" Tokuzen my act like goofball and idiot at time but he was a pretty strong shinobi , So maybe his behavior was a simple mind game.

[Hauclir]

OOC: How big is the inside of the maze?

Autarii flew down to Jiran and alighted his shoulder, Jiran after pausing as some others entered, headed to the door and entered annoyed, knowing that enclosed areas are not his forte.

[schrodinger]

Though touzukens behavior might be a fake....rakki's certainly wasnt......he tok a running jump ito thedoorway. Zuruuk followed, rolling his eyes......

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko flickered into view, he arrived just in time to watch the maze open, it was pretty neat. He waited till everyone else had walked forward, then he began to enter slowly, but very quietly. As he walked he ran his fingers along the stone of the wall, it was smooth, and felt cool.

As he walked he looked around seeing if he could see the others, but he didn't see them. So he continued his walk, what lied ahead, well he didn't know, but he was surely ready.

[Nyanki]

(ooc: It's not about the timing of the RPG. It's how far you made the opening passage seem. Then making it sound like a bunch of hallways lead to that room. Anyway, it's now fixed, so shall we continue?)

The maze began as a long hallway. It was no longer than half a block though, or so it seemed. Once through to the end, there was a room. This room was rather large. It was almost the length of a basketball court. But there was a dim lighting to it. A normal person would have a hard time seeing, but ninja would not.

In the far corners of the room, however, darkness lurked. The only way out of this room was to go straight to the other side. And this gooey blackness was seeping out from that end. What was it?

[schrodinger]

zuruuk walked into the room, and huffed angrily..... "Where are these so called tsumi idiots?" he asked the room in general..... "Good question." rakki agreed from beside him....... Zuruuk glowered at him.... "Do you have somewhere else to be?" he asked... "No...not really..." rakki said with a shrug....

[Hauclir]

OOC: ^ I think they still count, but now are being interrupted by whatever is inside this room.

IC: Jiran walked into the room and immediately detected a threat closing in from the other side of the room. Autarii circled above awaiting orders. Jiran flipped back onto the wall behind him he leant back so his knees were pointing forward and his back rested against the wall. He studied the area as he waited for whatever the next move in the situation would be.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko walked into the room, his guard up. He could see like it was daylight, but the darkness set him off a bit, especially what was up ahead. How was he to get through this? It was obviously a test of some sort, well this is what he saw it as, a test to weed out the weak. His fingers limply reached for the hilt of his blade, but he never truly grasped it. The other hand he pulled out in front of him, he was waiting, but for what?

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen made is way into the dim large room. He could sense some other high level chakra's what were at least Jounnin but he knew for a fact more then two were S-class. 'Well shall I see whats across this" Tokuzen said to himself as he causally walked forward into the darkness of the room. He did not look it but his guard was up , He being such a high level shinobi he was good at making himself look like he was just standing around but the fact was his guard would be up.

[Nyanki]

(ooc: Jetkid, they still count, it was fixed. I was going to leave Kimi-kid/Cliche's one post up until he posted again to show he read my response.)


The ooze began to rise in columns, one by one, until there were ten. From each of these, a pair of white eyes glowed. Arms sprouted from them, reaching out toward the other side of the room. Legs appeared as the beings began to walk. They weren't very fast, but they were moving, and heading at the ninja! Instinct said these creatures weren't the friendly bunch, as wide, gaping mouths appeared and a deep belching sound erupted from their throats, in a tone that could be likened to zombies.

(ooc: May the monster fighting begin!)

[Hauclir]

Jiran immediately threw a kunai at one of the ooze monsters merely to test their durability and structure. Autarii spiralled down to land on Jirans shoulder eyes set on the apparent threat.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko didn't even hesitate, he pinpointed one of the monsters and jumped into the air, his blade sliding off his back as he drew three shuriken from his waist, his exploding chakra flowing into them, he was going for the same attack he had used on the Raikage. As the shuriken whizzed forward, he spun so he was standing on the side wall his blade in his left hand and his right hand pulled together in a handseal. The others would probably do other stuff, but Hiko wanted to see what these things could do before he wasted a lot of chakra.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen eyes narrowed at the sight of the strange zombie monsters 'They cant be friendly' Tokuzen thought to himself as he drew a Kunai from his side. Tokuzen slowly walked forward slightly picking up speed until he was running directly at two of the zombie monsters. He lunched his Kunai at the knee of the right one while he jumped froward feet first.

The Kunai his the right zombie monsters knee making it fall to the ground on one knee. Tokuzen jumped over it landing behind it and spinning around so he faced the backs of the two zombie monsters. He then drew his last two Kunai he rushed froward slashing the back of right zombie monster , The left Zombie monster was turning to face Tokuzen but Tokuzen was two fast and slit it throat before it even new what happened. The Two monsters fell two the ground. Hopefully dead. Tokuzen stood straight up casually holding his two Kunai in both hands 'I hate taking any kind of beings life , please forgive me" Tokuzen thought to himself. He still had his guard up.

ooc: I hope I did this right. I not sure if you are controlling all ten or Trusting people to keep it honest and fight on there own. Also sense you said zombie I let it open for them to come back to life.

[schrodinger]

Within a few short seconds, the monster that had been aproching zuruuk was cut into three peices......zuruuk had already sheathed his sword before it fell.....zuruuk looked at the thing distainfully..... "These things arent exactly up to par...are they....." he complained..... "They need some daggers....mabe a few armor plates on the upper arms....then mabe they would be less pathetic...." he said......he was quite literaly thinking up ways to make armor for the things that were his enemies......

Rakki took a diferent aproach, weaving three hand sighns and thrust his hand at the thing...encasing it in solid rock......then, with a swift punch to the face, the stone sculpture shattered......along with the thing inside.....rakki rubbed his knuckles.....muttering.... "Why the hell did i go and punch it for..." he asked himself.....

[Nyanki]

(ooc: Good call Anthony. :D We're going to start this thing out simple. A mix of me controlling a little bit and you guys doing it this time. As we go on, things will shift.)

The projectiles made their way through the creatures. Although there was some lag, they went right through. And with the deeper cuts and scrapes, pieces fell off. The heads of the monsters that Tokuzen had attacked at the throat had fallen off.

However, something wasn't quite right. The things kept moving. Ooze stretched from the wounds and binded the cut pieces back to the main body. The ooey gooey monsters were soon finding their way to stand up.

But the gooey creature Rakki attacked hadn't seemed to be coming back together. Something was different. What was it?

Whatever it was, nine creatures were standing now. They moaned and turned to their attackers. Their mouths opened wide as they stretched their arms out, extending them at their targets.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko, was now observing, as an arm came towards him, he flipped over it standing on the ground once again, but now he was standing right next to Rakki. He smirked and whispered over to him. Hey Rakki, do me a favor, and do that rock thing with that monster right there. Hiko pointed slightly then waited for it. Though, if what he thought was right this wouldn't be so bad, if not, then he had no ideas.

[schrodinger]

Rakki binked......"Um.....i did it...." he sounded almost dissapointed......"Can i have another one?" He aked Zuruuk glanced bnack at the reforming thing......"Figures......i guess cutting them wont do much......fine then"....... he said..........then, taking a deep breath, glass like stuff completely enveloped the creature compressing it and compressing it till the very friction of being compressed would cause it to go molten......that was zuruuks style...simple, but unmercyfull......

[Hauclir]

Jiran sighed miserably as he shut his eyes and leant his head back..Realising there wasnt much he could do against these beings, he stayed where he was and watched the others from the wall.

[Anbuhaku]

Cale had followed quietly and slowly behind the pack. When the zombie's appeared he leaned against the wall's behind everyone, they formed a sort of barrier blocking the zombie creatures from reaching him. he bit his thumb and smacked the ground a small puff of smoke appeared the smallest bat apeared the size of his palm he placed it on his shoulder "hello artie. mind if you help me see through the darkest of corners?" the bat had a high pitched voice that of a small child. Sure thing Boss! Cale watched the people's moves quietly waiting to follow them when they were finished. once he got the chance he would turn and go on his own.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen sighed as the monsters he had just beheaded started to move once again. He jumped back but keeping aware of his surroundings he know only had count of 9 monsters not 10. 'Kill all once all but one come back meaning we would have to kill them all 10 times before there was none left" Tokuzen was just theorizing at this point 'But that ooze seems to be the healing component , so no ooze no heal" Again Tokuzen was just theorizing. But was doing all this in mere seconds and the monsters were no facing him.

Tokuzen stood clam as he took both his Kunai sling them both forward at the knees of the monsters aiming to disable there mobility. He was getting ready for his next move.

[Cliche]

Ooc: Hope this is good.


Ic: The members of Tsumi shrugged at what had happened before they made it to this room, the weird ooze things.. though Tsumi was the last to enter the room, they had an idea of what was going on. Hey guys, what's happening? The leader smiled brightly and raised his arms in excitement. He then sat down cross legged..

The member that was formally flanking his left, the one that had fallen from above looked around the room, seeing some attacking these beasts, and some merely watching. Pitiful.. he dare not speak yet, so he thought to himself instead. There had been no real reason for words anyway.

The man who had been silent just the same scanned the room, no one knew of these two's unique powers, and hopefully they never would. But of course they would have to sooner or later. And to tell the truth, all of the Tsumi was looking for a fight. With other shinobi, but they might have to get a little dirty and fight these things

As for the young man, he looked a little creeped out under his mask. So fear wouldn't show on the outside, but the same could not be said for what he was truely fealing.

All members of Tsumi were standing around the leader who was still sitting cross legged in the middle of them. In the corner of the large room.. they seemed to be waiting for something, though they didn't really know what that was. So they'd wait a little while, and start the fight soon.

[Nyanki]

(ooc: Weren't your chars already in the room?)

The monsters Tokuzen hit fell to the ground, but just as before, they began reforming and started to rise to their feet. Well, not feet per se, but the sludgey bottoms of their gooey legs.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen made some noraml speed hand signs as he dodged to the left so he was on the side of the two Monsters he put out his hand and in his palm it started to glow and crack with lighting 'Lighting Cannon" Tokuzen said as ball of lighting formed in his hand , It shoot out smashing through the two monsters sides at there lower abdomen cutting them in half and burning there oozy insides. What was Tokuzen doing , Was he testing the ooze to see if it was burned and destroyed that the monsters would no heal?

[Jetkid]

ooC: Tsumi was walking out of the room into a hallway and my group had just used a katon jutsu on them. I think we should just completely ignore our encounter and start over, and I think that's what Cliche decided too. I'll put an IC after I'm done with the football game :3

[Cliche]

Ooc: What Jetkid said, I'm having Tsumi just now enter the room as if they were the last to enter the maze.

Ic: The leader layed his gaze upon one of the Shinobi, it was Tokuzen. He was obviously one of the stronger ones, not to say most of them weren't formidable opponents. He then told the plan to the rest of Tsumi, they all nodded in response.

The youngest of the Tsumi and the weakest as well was sent into battle, he lunged forward, his kunai in hand. Hoping to catch him off guard. But he wasn't attacking the monsters. He was attacking Tokuzen! His kunai was being slashed at Tokuzen's chest, with a good amount of speed.

Was Tsumi that evil? To try and kill the opponents? It would give them a higher chance of winning..

[Anbuhaku]

Cale saw the movement of the kid towards the leaf shinobi, he wasn sure why but maybe from instinct he lunged at the kid so he would knock him against the wall with his before he could get a chance to stab the other nin. this kid was obviously not as fast or skilled as the other's wearing the mask's. by going out against the smaller nin he would indeed make a new enemy he predicted. As he was about to make contact he felt Artie cluch its feet into his shoulders for balance. Cale was so used to the feeling it didn hurt. Also having left the border of people around him to get to the kid he was open to attack's from the monster

[Cliche]

The leader was grinning from ear to ear under his mask. The young man looked back and the leader nodded.

The man had been pushed up against the wall by the other shinobi. He didn't say a word, but he sent a punch towards the enemy's face. To make it even deadlier, bones were prutruding from his forearm, dense as steel. It could easily cause a concussion upon impact. If that wasn't enough, the man sent a kick towards his side.

The other members of Tsumi were laying back in the corner. Simply observing.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen looked to the rouge Kumo shinobi combat the Tsumi Shinobi who was coming at him Tokuzen had time to act but he let the rouge Kumo shinobi do what he wanted.

Tokuzen then vanished and was now behind the Tsumi shinobi's who were simply observing 'So why dont you guys call off your little attack ,What do you say" Tokuzen said with small and goofy smile while he rubbed the back of his head.

[Cliche]

What the?? Weren't you just over..weird. Toko stood up, as did the others. They were getting ready for a fight, it was pretty obvious. Once again, a member of the Tsumi looked at the leader, whom nodded. This'll be your opponent! He exclaimed before the man darted towards Tokuzen.

He was incredibly fast, he flashed behind Tokuzen, then to the left, the right, and finally infront of him. He then sent a kick to his chest, with a decent amount of power.
The leaders applause echoed throughout the room, he was completely ignoring the monsters.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen sighed as he eyes narrowed and he put up his right forearm to block the kick but while at the same time he used left hand to grab the man ankle. Tokuzen did this with perfect timing so both his hand and forearm took only half the impact forces of the Kick. Tokuzen then throw the man into the air. Tokuzen lunged backwards giving himself some distances between him and the man.

Tokuzen looked to his opponent with clam yet powerful look "I knew this would happen sooner or later , So I guess I should get ready" Tokuzen said to who ever was listening as he did a bit of stretching and tightened his bandages rapped around his wrist.

[Nyanki]

(ooc: lol you guys should delete your posts and say something next time then xD)


The two creatures hit with Tokuzen's jutsu fell motionless to the floor. There were just a few piles of goop right now. They were defeated. Had the trick to beating them been figured out yet though?

However, seven still stood. And with new people meant new targets. Three of them began going slowly after the Tsumi bunch. They had drawn too much attention to themselves with trying to start fights. Now, they were going to get a fight, although it might not be the kind they intended.

[Jetkid]

ooC: I'm was just watching Harry Potter 4. They just entered the maze when I started writing this xD

IC: The group was observing the others, conserving their energy for when they would need it. They kept to themselves in a corner, but stayed on alert for anything. Each of the Konoha genin took out a kunai and stood in a defensive stance. They had made a plan before entering the maze and they would stick to it, whatever it was.

[Cliche]

The leader sighed, he'd have to take care of these monstery things with the only other Tsumi member not fighting. He gripped his sword tightly, nodding twice to the other.

He swung his blade at the monster cutting it in half. Since he wasn't paying attention the last couple minutes he didn't know if that would even work.

The other member did a few handsigns, and shot a blast of water at the same monster Toko had sliced in half, he too, didn't know if it'd work or not.

The member fighting Tokuzen had been flung in the air like nothing, he then sent himself even higher, propelling himself off the ceiling back at Tokuzen. As he flew towards him, he performed a variety of hand signs. After they were complete, he sent a giant ball of fire towards the enemy. While the white cloaked man was still soaring through the air he grabbed one of his dual katana's, unsheathing it. So if the fireball wasn't enough, Tokuzen would have to deal with this as well.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen watched the fireball come at him he acted quickly and fluently he waited a moment and then jumped up into the air to the left dodging the fireball. Tokuzen then fell back to the ground he watched the man come at him with drawn Katana. Tokuzen conserving energy would wait for the man to reach him.

[Cliche]

It was time for impact, The white masked man had his Katana infront of him he was only a few feet from Tokuzen now, and would easily slice right through him unless he did something. Though there was something different about him now..his eyes. Where the openings were in the mask..revealed not the usual green eyed man. No, now it was the eyes of an Uchiha! The infamous three tomoe'd sharingan would soon make eye contact with Tokuzen..

It was said if you ever encountered the Sharingan on a 1 on 1 battle there was only one logical thing to do. Run.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko came from behind the man with the sharingan, but he wasn't attacking him, he was talking. Hey you dumbass, there are monsters trying to attack us here, and you are more concerned about fighting other people? Get a grip. He brought his hand down aiming to grasp the man by the hair and throw him towards one of the monsters.

At the same time with his free hand he drew a kunai and a bomb tag, stabbing the kunai to the center of the bomb tag, he threw it at one of the monsters, when it hit, it was going to explode and make goop fly everywhere.

[Anthony Sky]

ooc: Guys can you please stop interfering in my battles? please. Thank you.

Tokuzen watched the Kazekage attack the sharingan user . Tokuzen had justglanced at the red eyes for moment seeing red and remember his eyes were once green. Tokuzen had instantly taken his eyes away from the sharingan user , Tokuzen was from the Konoha and he knew well what to do against a sharingan user , That was to look at there v of there neck so one could still follow the sharingan user motions. 'Great a sharingan user" Tokuzen thought to himself this battle had just gotten a whole lot more serious.

[schrodinger]

Durring the entire ordeal, rakki had been contemplating something...more or less ignoring Tsumi for the most part.... "Ive got it.....they are a replication liquid.....if they stop being a liquid, they cant regenerate." he said..... with that, he did a seiries of handsighns...and each of the three monsters near him was covered in flames that erupted from the ground.....the flames were so hot that the monsters might begin evaporating..... "There we go...game, set and match." Rakki said, seeming proud of himself......he wasnt entirely sure it had worked...but hopefully, because gasious monsters didnt hurt nearly as much as solid ones.... Zuruuk on the other hand, had abandoned the monsters.....and headed right at the Tsumi ninjas.... "Hey, team douchebag, who is going to fight me?" He asked, a challenge in his voice and eyes.....

[Cliche]

The Now sharingan user had been interrupted by the Kazekage. As he reached for his hair, the ninja brought his free arm back, attempting to grab the Kazakage's forearm, he would then throw him towards the wall.

The other man walked infront of Rakki. This had turned to an all out brawl, he got into his fighting stance, glaring at the man before him. Waiting for him to make the first move.

The leader stood by the white masked shinobi. Try not to use it. But what was it? no one knew besides Tsumi.. and now each of them were fighting their own battle. Sharingan vs kazakage. Leader and mystery man vs rakki. And the youngest vs the one who protected their original target.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen appeared five feet away from the sharingan user 'Hay Hiko good to see you we have to talk after this , But for now please stand back I need to get back into shape after being on leave for so long" Tokuzen said to Hiko as he looked at the v of sharingan user neck. "So are you ready to continue user of the Sharingan" Tokuzen said with clam yet somehow excited tone.

[Cliche]

He nodded, his sharingan began to spin wildly. Handsigns formed. A small dragon began to form. It was formed of fire, and spun around him rapidly. He pointed his Katana at Tokuzen and the dragon moved to the sword. Fuzing with it..the sword bloomed a vivid red before he lunged at Tokuzen again. His sword aimed at his chest once again.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen took note of the fire fusing with the blade 'Interesting" Tokuzen thought to himself his eyes showed he was now serious. Tokuzen reached under his white and golden cloak showing a Katan strapped to his side. He quickly unsheathed it blocking the attack to his chest so now the two blades clashed if one looked closely at Tokuzens blade they would see it's blade was reversed. Tokuzen pushed off and spun around slashing at the right shoulder of the sharingan user with pretty strong force.

[Hauclir]

Jiran shook his head as he buried his face into his palm..We are in the first room of a Labyrinth and already everyone is fighting..Jiran thought to himself. He decided it would be best if he just stayed away from the whole encounter, Whats the use of tiring yourself out at the very start like that.. He said to himself. Jiran noticed that the group of two had also figured out the way to defeat these monsters. Jiran let out a sigh of relief hoping that the others would catch on and remove the creatures so that he could finally move on.

[schrodinger]

Rakki looked at the man facing him..... "Shouldnt you be fighting him?" rakki asked, pointing at zuruuk..... "Id really rather not exert myself." he said with a shrug.......

[Cliche]

The man had no expression, none that could be seen anyway. He anticipated Tokuzen's movements with ease, he moved gracefully, spinning a full 180 degrees in the air. Coming down with harder force then before, the sword infront of him, it was more aimed at Tokuzen's neck now. Before the motion was complete, he drew another Katana, and brought it down towards Tokuzen as well. Though he did notice something..maybe if he kept him occupied with the swords, he could make eye contact. Which would make his chances of winning much greater.

The leader, with the sword, shrugged. Waiting for the man to come at him.


He was going to end this soon, be it killing the man, or simply fleeing. It was becoming a waste of energy..

Edit ooc: I had a member of Tsumi attack the monster's, but he was challenged by someone else...

[Anbuhaku]

Cale had dodged the punch with ease and caught the kick shaking his head, in amusement. he quickly let go and jumped back he saw The leaf nin fighting another person in a mask obviously more skilled then the one that faced Cale. Cale pulled out several senbon and let them loose towards the person. with remarkable speed he was quickly behind them staring straight at the kid waiting for him to look into his eyes,

[Cliche]

Ooc: Gotcha, I'll edit this post with them attacking after I pm the mods. ^_^ sorry for the misunderstanding guys.

Ic: Toko clapped his hands, in response all of the members of Tsumi looked back at him. Though instead of the usual nod he gave, he shook his head as if saying no.

The sharingan user's Uchiha eyes faded back to green behind the mask. He then jumped up, aiming for a slice at the monsters. It connected, and since the blade was still fuzed with Katon chakra, it melted the monster.

The leader and other member both attacked seperate gooey things, Toko with his blade, and the othe with a simple kick, to determine its durability.

While the youngest of them dodged the senbon, bowing to his opponent and then also jumping up, punching a different monster in the face-ish-thing...

[Nyanki]

(ooc: Just fix the next post you make. Here, I'm responding now.

@Anthony: What sucks is I don't want to post when only one or two people have attacked the monsters, but I will post from now on. I just hate making such short posts.

The thread is not on freeze, but to correct from this point forward with what was happening. And Ryan noticed that little bit. The rest can continue while that is being fixed.)

The leader sighed, he'd have to take care of these monstery things with the only other Tsumi member not fighting. He gripped his sword tightly, nodding twice to the other.

He swung his blade at the monster cutting it in half. Since he wasn't paying attention the last couple minutes he didn't know if that would even work.

While the youngest of them dodged the senbon, bowing to his opponent and then also jumping up, punching a different monster in the face-ish-thing...

The monster sliced in two fell onto the ground, but the pieces spread the gooey substance out until they touched. The monster began reconstructing itself. However, once the jutsu hit, the movement ceased. It stopped moving. It was down for the count.

As for the creature with the tag in its belly from the kunai, although it exploded, the monster merely puffed out like a giant marshmallow. Its gooey body basically absorbed the shock. Six monsters were standing.

But oh, the three that were hit by Rakki's attack? They were set aflame and burned to a crisp, becoming nothing more than piles of ash that once slithered. The monsters were really getting taken down this time around. And now there were three to go. They were almost gone, but they were still there. Still odd, still threatening. But almost gone.

(ooc Edit: Oops, didn't see your edit xD Now I have to add more. And I'm fixing the situation since there are 3 monsters left)

The monster hit with Toko's Katon blade squealed in pain, but it began mending itself after a few moments on the ground. However, a scar was visible from where it was cut. At least for a moment, as the goo moved around and eventually hid it. And with the other monsters that were hit, nothing happened. Sliced, did nothing but momentarily disable the monster until it healed again. The young one had attacked the Katon-bladed monster again, and with the punch, some of the scar revealed, but vanished just as quickly.

[schrodinger]

Rakki saw the three he had taken down become ashes.....this seemed to give him an idea. "That gives me a great jutsu idea...." he thought out loud.... "Whatever, shut up and kill goo monsters rakki." zuruuk said crossly..... "Righto." Rakki said cheerfully...... and then, he did a purely pointless foreward roll to where he could target one of the goo monsters...the one being faced down by the young Tsumi member..... "Crazy mega super Awsome spark!" Rakki yelled...making a complete fool out of himself....that is...untill he did a few hand sighns, and a column of white fire erupted around the goo creature.....then, rakki turned to the second near him, the one being attacked by toko.... "Doublekill!!!" Rakki yelled.....this entire ordeal was obviously a game to him.... "Scuze me bud." rakki said to Toko with a grin.....and with three handsighns a wave of fire erupted from rakki's hand, straight at the creature......

[Nyanki]

Just as the sliced monster began to heal, it found itself covered in scorching flames. The two monsters hit by Rakki were toast, the fire destroying them. As the flames devoured them, the white glows of their eyes disappeared as the fell to the ground as burning dust. Now, there was only one more. Then there would be no more.

[Cliche]

Bully! Toko ran away to the corner away from everyone.

While the other members sighed. They seemed to dislike Katon tech's..so the previous sharingan-user did a few handsigns and sent a pretty good sized ball of fire at one of the remaining monsters.

The other members didn't have a katon affinity, so they stood back for the most part.

[Nyanki]

As the last monster fell to the flames, the pathway out was perfectly clear. Although the ninja did not figure out that the monsters were simply killed by ninjutsu rather than physical attacks, they had still defeated them nonetheless.

Passing through this short hallway lead to another room. It was much smaller than the previous one, as well as better lit. But this time, there were two choices. Left or right. The light source came from above both paths, as if to emphasize that they were there. The rest of the room seemed quiet and empty. Which would each choose? Would people split up?

[schrodinger]

"Left" Zuruuk said "Right" Rakki said at the same moment....... "Left is a better choice...." zuruuk said...... "I dunno...i like the word right......" There were a few moments of aquard silence beteen the two... "You are a complete dumbass...we're going left......" zuruuk said...... "Okay okay.......you dont have to be so mean about it..." rakki said, pouting...... "Whatever...." zuruuk said idly.....then the two walked into the left tunnel.....

[Cliche]

No was the answer for Tsumi, they decided before the even entered the maze that if there was ever a fork in the road, they would go right. All of them. So the leader lifted his right arm, the signal was known by Tsumi, they walked in the V-Formation to the path on the right.

[Anbuhaku]

Cale quietly trailed behind the two who had gone left not trying to hide from them but not alerting them he was following. Artie squeaked and it echoed all the way down the hall making it sound like hundreds of bat's were in there somewhere

[Hauclir]

Jiran was relieved that they were finally gone and he could move on, he dashed from the wall he was on to the next and ran along to the door, he went through it and without hesitation darted from wall to wall down the right corridor eagerly awaiting the next challenge. Autarii trailed behind him flying through the middle of the corridor. Jiran had absolutely no trouble in seing through the darkness, his eyesight was so great nothing could get past his eyes.

[Jetkid]

The group exchanged glances, and with no words spoken they went left. There was no way they wanted to go down the same path as those men who attacked the others. The five shinobi walked at a quick pace, but never were in front. They were in an odd formation, two in front, two in back, one slightly ahead of the other, and the last was in the middle to the left. It wasn't a very standard formation, but it protected them in the narrow hallway.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen looked both ways and deiced he would go with the least amount of people so he followed the Suna squad and the Uchiha girl. Tokuzen white and golden cloak that had the golden leaf of the Moto clan embroiled on to the shoulder fluttered slightly in the air with his movements forward.

[Jetkid]

"Tokuzensan, I didn't know you came to the maze. Would you like to travel with us?" Mamoru had at once recognized the chakra of the famous Green Guardian of Konoha. The entire group paused, waiting for his response.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen smiled at Mamoru 'Thank you for the offer but when I came hear I decided to do this by myself' Tokuzen spoke with warm and kind tone 'You know its funny I found you hear for just before I left Lord Akako had returned to the village , I thought you should know' Lord Akako Uchiha the Head of the Uchiha clan had been gone on a 3 year mission. Tokuzen kept his smile at the group noticing the Suna squad and their Jounnin sensei it reminded him of Kin Kane and Hikoro his students.

[Jetkid]

"Thank you for the good news," Mamoru said with a sigh of relief. "Do you know anything of his condition or of where he was?" The group set out again, though at a slower pace than before. Mamoru seemed physically less tense, as if she had been clenching all her muscles until then.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen kept a small pace in is walk 'Akako stronger then ever and as healthy as a horse , As for the rest is classified , until the Hokage says otherwise' Tokuzen spoke with warmth even when he had to be serious about the information. Tokuzen handsome and peaceful brown eyes looked headed waiting for this tunnel to end. 'So why would you bring your students to event such as this" Tokuzen asked the Suna Jounnin.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko followed the path that Tokuzen had went down. As he jogged to catch up he looked around, examining for traps every step of the way until he caught up with Tokuzen and the others. Hey Tokuzen! Hiko came up beside Tokuzen, matching teh groups pace. I see you met some of the Sunagakure ninja.

[Jetkid]

"Honestly," Minori said turning around to face the Konoha shinobi, a smile on his face, "The Kazekage didn't give us a mission fast enough," he finished with a laugh. "Though if he asked me that I'd tell him I thought it would be a good learning experience. These kids just aren't challenged enough, and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to challenge them." Then Minori saw him, and his face went blank. "Well, hello Kazekagesama, pleasure to meet you here."

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hello Minori. He had come up on the end of the conversation. He was going to say something, but decided not to. As they walked down the tunnel he wondered how long it would be till they came to another room. So, I saw you guys back there, you seem to do well working together. I have a mission for you guys when we get back to Sunagakure. Before Hiko left he had received a request for a mission, but he wanted to make sure these guys would be up for it before he gave it to them.

[Jetkid]

"That would be wonderful, Kazekagesama, thank you." Minori said with a sigh of relief. Now he had two high level shinobi around him, if they met back up with that group they should be safe. "Do you know anything about those men in the white cloaks back in that room? They certainly gave me a bad feeling."

[Kuro Nagashi]

The Kazekage laughed. His voice echoing along the passage. Well all I know is they are another scumbag organization, they really aren't all that strong from what I saw. Maybe, three or four Jounin and an S-class or so could take care of them. He smirked, he knew that if they encountered that group again, it wouldn't turn out pretty...... for the group, that was.

[Jetkid]

"That's.... good to know I suppose." Minori replied after counting those in their group. A Kage, a probable S class, a jounin and several chuunin. He wasn't sure if he could rely on the two that were ahead of them, and didn't even know their skill level. Their odds against the organization weren't great, there was serious danger here.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko chuckled. Don't worry, nothing will happen to you guys, not with me around. Or Tokuzen for that matter. He looked over to Tokuzen. So Tokuzen, how have things back in Konoha been since we last got to talk?

ooc:

>_< phail post xD

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen listened carefully to the the Kazekage and Minori who were both older then he , so he would listen until he had something to say and he did 'Hik...Lord Kazekage you should not underestimate them for the Konoha did with the Tasogare at first and suffered greatly because of it' Tokuzen and his team was the first to ever encounter the Tasogare so he would know best about the faults and foolish mistakes the Konoha had made with the Tasogare.Tokuzen had nearly lost his life and lost his students do to those mistakes.' Not sure I have been within the Moto estate caring for my new born girl , I herd of this thing and thought it would be good way to get back into shape before I am put back on active duty" Tokuzen said with clam and easy flowing tone.

EDITED

ooc: Be back later have to go to practice

[Nyanki]

Those taking the left path would find themselves in a room with only one way, and that was to the right. However, those who had taken the right path entered a room with a way forward, as well as left. The rooms were decently lit now, a glowing trim around the edges of the ceiling providing the light.

This was the true start of the maze, for fate had already set the layout of the labyrinth in stone. It was possible that each choice, if perhaps even this one, could forever influence what the shinobi would come across on this journey. Be them dead ends, or having to backtrack through many rooms. And each moment spent going the wrong way could cost them.The adventure begins.


(ooc: I apologize for my absence today. Some stuff came up, so I guess it was just one of those "Life happens," cases. Anyway, here's what's going to happen:

Kuro and Ryan are going to take over these two rooms to help demonstrate the concept of taking turns in this event, as well as new setups compared to the "test round." This will be how this maze is going to work.
Anyone in the Naruto RPG can take up a room, although it would go first to RPers in the maze. The room cannot have one of your own characters in it. This is because fighting yourself isn't fun, and it will prevent people from making their own chars the hero, be it intentionally or unintentionally.
Everyone will get a turn, so long as they want it. Don't worry, there are many, many rooms in this maze. The mods will let you know when it's your turn, as well as provide you with a key piece of information.
Naruto RPG autohitting rules apply on monsters -- We were testing something out this first time, but since people were imposing things on the monsters, assuming certain things would happen and saying they happened (Ex: Attack hit, did this to monster, then monster did that), we're going back to old school. Don't worry, the monsters aren't going to be too hard. Temp chars < Real chars.
I will be in charge of the layout of the Leviathan's Labyrinth. When new rooms are entered, I will come in and describe the layout, as well as regularly upgrading a map to keep people from getting confused on which ways they can go. And it allows for everyone to be able to backtrack whenever without mod assistance. And new joiners can get caught up quickly.

Here's a nice simplified map. Think the old Battleship game! Only with negative numbers. Example: The first room is A0. Letter-Number. A0 is where the first batch of monsters were.

Anyway, thanks guys. From here on out, this thing is going to be interesting, as well as fun. :D)

[Cliche]

Ooc: first post to this some-what confusing system :S so tell me if I need to edit. ^_^

Ic: The Tsumi kept walking until they entered another room at last. They were obviously impatient, as they walked into the room, they all looked around the walls. So I guess we just keep going straight... The leader smiled and nodded forward. They knew what to do, so, they started to walk forward. Not knowing what awaited them.

The young boy's adrenaline was still pumping from the small encounter he had only a short while ago.

As for the Uchiha, he simply dwelled on his thoughts, it probably wasn't a good idea to use his sharingan so carelessly.

And as for the man who had yet to be seen in combat, he was still at 100% so he simply followed in the V-formation, at the far left.

[Hauclir]

Jiran still darting wall to wall, quickly reached the next room, noticing the two passages immediately he dashed down the left passage. Jiran realeased a heavy sigh as he grew impatient with his lack of action. Autarii keeping his eyes set ahead still followed slightly behind Jiran ready for anything.

[TsuHanyou]

Those who had went left and reached the room would find something in their way.
This wasn't something though, it was many things, 10 to be exact.
Rabbits.
Ranging from orange colored to brown and white colored, 10 cute, adorable bunny rabbits were moving around, they seemed perfectly harmless, in fact, one would think they seemed like great food for something bigger, you never know though, this was one of the many things to question about the Labyrinth.

[schrodinger]

Zurruk looked at the bunnys..... "I already hate this and it hasnt even started." he said....shaking his head and sighing.... "Oh cheer up, they are probably only going to murder us. Whats the big deal?" rakki said happily... "Death by bunny......thats about as awsome as it gets!" he continued... "Just shut up...." zuruuk said icily...."Just walk..." he advised......then, the two began to walk across the room....... "I figure, if they dont attack us, we are good....if they do.....well...hopefully these ones stay dead....."

[Anthony Sky]

Rabbits.
Ranging from orange colored to brown and white colored, 10 cute, adorable bunny rabbits were moving around, they seemed perfectly harmless, in fact, one would think they seemed like great food for something bigger, you never know though, this was one of the many things to question about the Labyrinth.

Tokuzen looked at the colorfully bunnies hoping around. 'They are in the rodent family what are rodents good for, test subjects and food' Tokuzen thought to himself calmly 'There would be no need to have test subjects , when we seem to be the first ones hear in well a really long time" Tokuzen closed his eyes slowly as he gently put his hands into his pockets pushing back his cloak and showing the handle to his sword. 'They are food but for what wolves , wild dogs , small breeds of big cats , or possibly snakes" Tokuzen was not sure what the rabbits could be for but he was 99% sure they were food for something bigger and badder.

[Kuro Nagashi]

For the unfortunate people who went right they were faced with something completely different. In their path lay three solid looking monsters, there mouths hung open slightly revealing drool to hang from it. Jagged, yellow teeth could be seen, but this would be the least of peoples worries. Looking into their eyes, they were white and glowing but you would be a fool to stare into them for to long. Their arms, weren't arms at all. A scythe on each of their arms. They gleamed in the lighting of the room. Waiting for something to cross their path.

---------------------------------------------------

Hiko wasn't taking any chances, he drew his blade, it was thinner than his old one, but it would still do the job. He looked right at the rabbits. So Tokuzen, been a while since we got to work together, what do you say to taking these rabbits out?
Then worrying about what would come later? Hiko knew that there had to be something bigger and worse up ahead. That would come later though, it was time to handle some rabbits.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen shrugged 'One should treat others as one wishes to be treated and I think we should apply that hear , lets simply walk through and see what happens , but stay close " Tokuzen started to walk through the rabbits 'So Hiko who is in command of the Suna while you are hear" Tokuzen asked as he walked slowly and causally.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko smirked as he looked to Tokuzen. Lets do it then. He stood right next to Tokuzen as they walked forward, he didn't know what to expect but he had his blade at the ready. Ah, a couple of the stronger anbu are in charge of everyone, but none of them are giving out missions or anything. Hiko kept his answer calm and simple.

[Anthony Sky]

Ah, a couple of the stronger anbu are in charge of everyone, but none of them are giving out missions or anything. Hiko kept his answer calm and simple.

Tokuzen kept walking slowly 'Hiko are you sure that is wise the Raikage maybe old but he was once known for his ruthless actions , Dont you think he would take action to crush a village without its Kage or at least take out its offensive forces do to his honor?" Little did Tokuzen know was that the Raikage had been killed for he had been within his Estate Takng care of Tsuri and there little new born girl.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko let a frown cover his face. Tokuzen, did I tell you the reason I got a new blade? He paused slightly and continued on. The one I had before, is gone, lost in the Raikage's chest. I killed him. Hiko let a tear run down his cheek it was truly sad that he had to kill the Raikage. We should stop walking now, before we get caught in the center of them, and are surrounded. Hiko stopped walking and looked at the bunnies.

[Jetkid]

The five shinobi hugged the wall and slowly made their way across the room, never taking their eyes off the bunnies, and never showing them their backs. They needed the exit, but waited to see how the others would deal with them.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen stopped in his tracks as his eyes grew wide , He would go one diplomatic missions to the Kumo with Kaiyo and his grandfather all the time as both young child and Chunnin and Kaiyo always told him "The Raikage is the most honorable and skillful shinobi of his generation , he is one of legend" Those words kept repeating through his mind. He knew the Raikage and the Snow Sannin had declared war on the Konoha and its allies one being the Suna , but he never thought that the Kages would take action to assassinate one another so soon in the war , but this was not the thing that had Tokuzen caught up in accepting the death of the Raikage it was the fact the Raikage was always a good to Tokuzen and treated him as grandson after his Kiyoshi passed away , the fact was the Raikage was good man and Tokuzen never got to question the Raikage about declaring war and now this war has cost him his life. 'I see , Now is not the time to speak of such things" Tokuzen said as his face grew cold and empty focusing on his mission at hand.

[TsuHanyou]

The bunnies stopped, each of their eyes on a different shinobi.
Their was silence, then...
"LAlaLAlaLaLaLAALALALAlalLALALALA~'' The bunnies began to scream these words, the loud, high pitched, scratch noise piercing their ears and echoing off the walls.
Then, the bunnies split up, 1 group of 4 and 2 groups of 3.
And as they continued to scream, metal wings unfolded from them, and they shot off at a speed of a normal shinobi, bouncing off the walls like balls.
At the same time, the 1 group of 4 aimed for the 5 shinobi going across the walls.
1 group of 3 aimed towards Tokuzen and Hiko.
and 1 group of 3 aimed towards Zurruck.
Each group of bunnies opened their mouths, and as they continued to let out that awful noise, shot out balls of fire from their mouths.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen acted quick he had predicted something like this might have happened that's why he had Hiko stay close. Tokuzen quickly drew his blade and looked to Hiko as he dodged left , Hoping Hiko would go right. Tokuzen successfully dodged the fire ball and would wait to see Hiko's move to fallow accordingly.

[schrodinger]

zuruuk grunted and drew a sword with incredible speed, whiping it through the flames, extinguishing them, and then, he was on the bunnies......and he aimed a lightning fast srike towards them, so as to kill every one at once, like a big evil bunny shishkabob. At the same time, rakki did a few hand sighns, and needle sharp rock spikes shot from the floor and ceiling, ready to spear any bunny not killed by zuruuks strike.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko did just that, jumping to the right, his blade already in hand. Really? This is going to be annoying as crap. Hiko let a wave of chakra flow trough his blade, but this was his famous explosion chakra, from his second stage of his Kekkei Genkai. He swung forward, the black wave headed for a bunny. Eat it. He turned his head to look at Tokuzen Let's take these guys out.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen nodded with clam and emotionless expression as he made a string of hand signs he put out his hand as he said "Wind Palm" Tokuzen sent out a bullet of wind at the bunnies that would take care of any that Hiko failed to destroy. This jutsu was new but weak B rank at most and trully un perfected.

[Jetkid]

The bunnies stopped, each of their eyes on a different shinobi.
Their was silence, then...
"LAlaLAlaLaLaLAALALALAlalLALALALA~'' The bunnies began to scream these words, the loud, high pitched, scratch noise piercing their ears and echoing off the walls.
Then, the bunnies split up, 1 group of 4 and 2 groups of 3.

1 group of 3 aimed towards Tokuzen and Hiko.
and 1 group of 3 aimed towards Zurruck.
Each group of bunnies opened their mouths, and as they continued to let out that awful noise, shot out balls of fire from their mouths.

Mamoru activated her sharingan and used Kahen Tonsou no Jutsu (Flower Petal Escape Technique). Her body dispersed into a shower of flower petals, then she reformed behind the flying bunnies, kicking one with extreme force and lashing out at another with her fist. Junichi moved his sand to surround the two other bunnies, attempting to use Sabaku Kyuu (Desert Coffin).

[Anbuhaku]

Cale ducked leaning against the walls and come towards him they began to spit fire from their mouth's he did quick hand signs and spikes hot from the ground at a few of the bunny's. he did more hand signs and more spikes shot from the walls at them

[Cliche]

The group known as Tsumi entered the room with the 3 weird looking things. They each looked at a seperate one, it was obvious a fight was going to break out. This was their kind of maze after all. Hey you, scythe..armed..things.. The leader called out, his sword pointed in their direction. You wanna tell me how to kill you? It'll be easier for all of us. He smiled under the mask yet again.

The other members kept their guard up, watching the beasts.

[Kuro Nagashi]

The beasts just looked at the oncoming people, and let out a large roaring grow from their mouths. Their spit covering the floor. As their scythe arms scraped against each other they were looking forward to fresh meet. They just stared at the newcomers for a while waiting for a hint of movement.

[Cliche]

That's just un-sanitary. Toko grinned, this was Tsumi's chance to get ahead of the rest of the Ninja in the maze. His sword glowed for an instant, before releasing a burst of fire towards the beast in the center. We'll all take on this one, unless the situation changes. His grin widened as he laughed, it echoed throughout the room.

The two S-class nin were performing handsigns simultaneously as the young man watched.

The one on the left finished, a fireball began to form, and was shot at the monster that the leader also shot at. As the man on the right finished, a sphere of water was created, and then sent with a lot of force towards the same monster.

[TsuHanyou]

The 3 that had went after Zurruck continued to bounce off the walls like mad, 2 being hit by the strike and the last one being killed by the spikes.
However, when each one died they let out a scream so loud it would be sure to pierce the ears of those who heard it, and then they blew up into a small explosion.
2 that went after Hiko and tokuzen were destroyed by the Wind palm and Chakra wave, making the same Screaming noises and explosions, but one blocked the wind palm with its metal winds, aiming for a slash down Tokuzens shoulder.
Mamoro succeeded to defeat the bunny's.
The two surrounded by the sand let out another piercing scream, and exploded before the sand coffin could kill them.
Now, one bunny remained, this one started kicking off the walls, both its metal wings spread out, letting out the most piercing scream while shooting out fire like a flamethrower, the fire bounced off the walls as well, bouncing through all directions at the different shinobi, hiding the 1 remaining bunnie that was bouncing around like mad.

[schrodinger]

Zuruuk rubbed his ears, trying to get them to stop ringing....well that sucked...." he said..... "Agreed" rakki responeded...... "Im getting sick and tired of these things....." zuruuk said factually..... "Well...we could just leave. nothing blocking the door." Rakki ointed out.... "True....true...." zuruuk said...and with that they began walking out the door.....zuruuk gave the rabbit the middle finger over his shoulder....

[TsuHanyou]

The bunnie's fire in fact formed an open door, it deemed the two annoying, for all such shinobi who did not have the will to end a fight were deemed this by the bunnies, and so the bunnie allowed them to pass.
But then it closed, circleing around the rest of the people and preventing them from leaving until this final Wabbit was Hunted.

[Kuro Nagashi]

ooc: when you guys are done, deleted they will be xD

ic:

The creature being attacked sliced right through the ninjutsu, and under the smoke all three lunged forward at a fairly high speed, slicing in rapid movements at the Tsumi ninja. It wouldn't be a walk in the park to land a hit on these guys with those scythes swinging left and right. So it was best you make use of any opening you could get while you had it.

-----------------------------------------

Hiko frowned this sucked. Saw the bunny as it bounced, he had seen it but could he get a shuriken into it. He drew one in a quick motion and whizzed it forward, hoping to connect with the bunny. He didn't have high hopes but it was worth a shot. His ears still rung from the screams, but it would die away after a while.

[TsuHanyou]

"LALALALALALALALAL"-SPLAT

The fire stopped circleing, by pure luck the shuriken had sliced through, and the dead body of the final bunny splattered across Hiko's face.
Then, right there it Let out its awful, extremly high pitched scream of death, which was signal to how it was about to explode.

(OCC: xD.....)

[Cliche]

Water and fire, blossom with with bones. Water 1 Fire 2 and Bones 3. This was nothing more then jibberish to any person besides the Tsumi, they had a code for almost everything, even though they were alone in the room, they still used it.

The young man ran towards the beast, he excelled in Taijutsu, so as he ducked at the scythe in the center, he sent a kick towards its middle, his palms planted on the ground.

The sharingan user was the fastest of Tsumi, he flashed behind the one on the left, infront of it, behind, left, right, his movements couldn't be seen by the untrained eye. He threw kunai in all directions, surrounding it. As he dissappeared and reappeared around the monster, handsigns could be seen. As they were completed, the kunai headed towards it exploded.

The 'Water' Of Tsumi walked forwards. Taking on the beast to the right. He also did a few quick handsigns, instantly, a dragon started to form of pure water. It slid across the room, around the shinobi. It hissed loudly, and suddenly attacked the monster, heading straight towards it.

The leader's plan was to figure out if these things were weak to a certain element, or a certain Fighting type, genjutsu, ninjutsu, or Taijutsu.. or if they even had a weakness.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Beast number three placed both of it's scythes together and sliced outwards into the dragon, it split around it, though some of it caused it to get wet around the legs but not doing any damage. It let out a roar as it lunged forward at the man who had used water, as it swung up and down in the same motion to slice the person.

The second beast spun it's scythes blocking the kunai but as they exploded the beast was pushed backwards, it's arms burnt. How it was still standing now, no clue. It looked shaky on it's knees as it sliced forward that sharingan user and tried to cut his legs.

While the first beast who was fighting in taijutsu, swung his scythe arms at the mans arms at that time the kick hit his chest, and suddenly in a poof of purple smoke the monseter was nowhere to be seen.

----------------------

The blood covered Hiko and he growled, whipping the blood onto his sleeves. Just nasty, well lets get going shall we? Hiko sheathed his sword back over his back and started to walk. He didn't like the blood being on his face. It was overly annoying but he was determined to win.

[Cliche]

The leader noticed that the simple kick destroyed the beast, but far stronger ninjutsu had little effect.. Water and Fire, take on bones. The leader smiled, he was pretty sure he had figured these things out.

As the sharingan user's attack was pitifully countered, he saw the scythes come towards him, at the instant they were inches away, he did a stylish front flip, his leg coming straight down towards the monsters head. His full stregth behind it.

The water user was fast, but not as fast as the other, the scythe skimmed his chest, ripping the cloak and causing some blood to trickle down. Though this only made him more blood thirsty. He charged the monster, jumping in the air, his cloak flowing openly behind him, he spun a 360, his momentum concentrated on his right leg, which was aiming at the beasts chest.

[Kuro Nagashi]

OOC: Okay Hauclir and Sylvester, I moved your guys posts to the Naruto RPG Chat thread in the others section. I also answered there. From now on, any and all pure OOC posts will either be deleted or moved on site, so please refrain from making OOC posts in this thread.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beast 2 shoved a scythe upwards aiming to stab the man through the leg, but the aim was off and it missed by inches, though hopefully it would still cut the leg as the foot came down on its head. Instead of exploding into purple smoke it was orange this time. They sure were colorful.

Now only beast 3 was left. It seemed more dangerous than the other two. It ducked the kick, and swung up with the scythes. It could maybe fight the guy for a second or two more, but it was obviously not on his level.

[Cliche]

The other's stood back as their repective beast was destroyed. Pretty.. The leader smiled a wiked smile as he flashed behind the last beast. He sent a punch towards the beast's back. Hopefully they could move on with this final attack.

As the other man moved aside from the swing, he jumped back allowing Toko to finish the last one off.

Since Taijutsu wasn't the main focus of Tsumi, this had tired them down a bit. Except for the kid, he seemed the most energetic off them all.

[Kuro Nagashi]

The final beast was caught in the punch and was defeated. Its demise was the most astounding. In a puff of rainbow colored smoke filling the whole room and clouding vision it exploded. It would be a minute before the smoke cleared, so either they would stand there or try and find the door in the smoke. Either way there was no real danger present any more.

[Sylvester Nalven]

After several long searching for the massive head of the Leviathan, Karatski had finally arrived, he looked around the island and seeing only one man standing there he wondered if he was too late. "Are you the man who sent out the announcement? and have you any idea where everyone is? Karatski asked with a look of confusion.

[Cliche]

The Tsumi sighed, exhaling all at once. They would wait until the smoke was gone before moving ahead, hopefully the others had to deal with something like that. They didn't need to be behind.. the leader nodded towards the others, signalling for them to go ahead and walk towards the door. What lied ahead of them this time?

[Nyanki]

(ooc: Anyone interested in taking one of the next rooms, PM me, or we will pick someone.)

Ojisan nodded to the newcomer. "No, you're just in time." He extended his hand toward the opened mouth of the stone leviathan. "Inside awaits the Labyrinth. May luck be on your side as you try to reach the end." He smiled. "Just call on Ojisan if you need anything." The man pointed at his face to show he was talking about himself.

As the rainbow smoke cleared, the ways to the next rooms were clear as well. As Jiran entered the room from the left path, he would notice that it was nothing more than a dead end. However, with the path Tsumi had decided to take, that was not the case. This room had one path in it, which led to the left. Something seemed to be blocking this way though. It was like a handle-less door.

Edit:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/SamuraiPizzaCat/talknaruto/event/LL003.png

With the final bunny gone, the maze runners were free to go on ahead. The one path would lead to another room with only one. However, this doorway on the left was wide open and seemed empty. The room beyond that, C+2, had two ways to go: left and right. But these two routes were each blocked by a stone slab of a door. They could go no further just yet.

(ooc: Alright, since there seemed to be a misunderstanding, I'm going to delete the posts that caused this. Dorian is taking room B-2, and Cliche is taking C+2.)

[Anthony Sky]

Beast number three placed both of it's scythes together and sliced outwards into the dragon, it split around it, though some of it caused it to get wet around the legs but not doing any damage. It let out a roar as it lunged forward at the man who had used water, as it swung up and down in the same motion to slice the person.

The second beast spun it's scythes blocking the kunai but as they exploded the beast was pushed backwards, it's arms burnt. How it was still standing now, no clue. It looked shaky on it's knees as it sliced forward that sharingan user and tried to cut his legs.

----------------------

The blood covered Hiko and he growled, whipping the blood onto his sleeves. Just nasty, well lets get going shall we? Hiko sheathed his sword back over his back and started to walk. He didn't like the blood being on his face. It was overly annoying but he was determined to win.

Tokuzen stopped and looked around for minute or two just scanning the event and there results. His eyes still blank of emotion showing the only thought he was thinking was of the mission at hand. He looked over at Hiko and walked up along side him.

[Kaizor]

The Shinobi who had previously dealt with the bunnies would now come head to head with a more powerful threat in their wake. Aligned oddly in the room... were 6 boxes... the boxes had strange hieroglyphic-like writing on them, with funky patterns of color and lines.

One box opened suddenly, revealing a large, shadow thin like creature from out of the box. Its body waved wildly in the air in a frenzy, and its tongue stuck out, its tongue appearing as a razor-sharp knife instead... its hands were replaced by semi-large axes..which even with the intense weight of the axe, they were able to move around freely. This wasn't a good sign.

The creature motioned with its hand for them to come forth. A bloodlusted gleam in its eyes, it was ready for carnage...

[Jetkid]

Junichi moved some sand out of his bag and surrounded his group with it in a semisphere, blocking their backs. Mamoru withdrew a mix of ten kunai and shuuriken, then flung them with amazing speed at the beasts. Etsuko and Kamiko each took out a kunai and stood in a defensive stance. Minori looked forward coolly.

[Anthony Sky]

Tokuzen had dropped out of the maze sometime ago , for he had forgotten he need to be somewhere at a certain time.

Somewhere on the water

Tokuzen rushed forward through the waters 'O boy I hope I make it in time' Tokuzen said to himself as he picked up speed kicking up the ocean waters. He seemed to be heading for Kiri.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko took a step forward glaring at the monsters, he was with a Jounin and three genin. Plus him, this couldn't be an over challenge. Though it would still be tough. Hiko drew his blade and stepped near the group. Okay, Minori, you rush from the left while I go for the right. Etsuko, Kamiko keep the middle clear. Junichi you have the toughest job, keep your teammates defended. Is everyone good with that? As Hiko gave commands like a pro he kept his eyes on the monsters the whole time.

[Jetkid]

Each shinobi gave a response along the lines of 'Yes, Kazekagesama.' Juinchi unloaded even more sand and divided it in several groups. From a stationary position, uninvolved in the fighting, the sand seemed almost to move at the same time as each shinobi it protected. Juinichi had been training more often lately, and it was starting to show. "On your mark, Kazekagesama," Minori responded.

-----------

(ooC: Not sure if I'm keeping this post....)

The members of Tsumi quickly retraced their steps, exiting the maze in a short few minutes. The leader nodded at Ojisan as they departed the area. Several minutes later they joined up with two other shinobi, a man and a woman. They traded looks of conformation, and continued onwards. Their destination was Amegakure, and they would arrive in about a day at their current pace.

[Kaizor]

OOC: I shall be taking over Cliche's position in this labyrinth room. Check post number 143 before reading this one. Well, I guess you don't have to, but it would be wise.

-------
The first creature, the one already appearing out of the box, laughed maniacally... its deathly, maniacal cackle echoing across the darkened walls of the room. Its eyes glared forward, an intense look of bloodlust, a craved bloodshed. It awaited them to make the first move, as he wiggled around carelessly and playfully. It had a playful personality...along with an odd combination of a killing intent.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko looked at the monster and suddenly decided to take a new approach. Okay, same plan only I am going in first to engage him, if I give the all clear, then I want you to continue on with the plan. Also Juinchi continue with defending. with that, Hiko sheathed his sword and drew a kunai, dashing forward in a simple burst of speed heading at the monster from the right side, what would happen?

[Kaizor]

The monster looked from the corner of his eye toward the dashing Kazekage. It opened its mouth, a black screech expelling out of its mouth. The screech was not only damaging to the ears, but it was also a Genjutsu that worked through sound. If the Genjutsu were to work, the targets would be cast in an unforgettable realm, a realm of boiling black liquid, as they would feel their bodies being disintegrated by the liquid slowly and painfully.

After performing the screech, the monster kept its mouth open, shadow-like tendrils rocketing out of its mouth, attempting to trap the Kazekage and restrict movement, while hopefully he was cast under the Genjutsu. Just this one monster appeared to be exceptionally powerful... what of the other five boxes?

[GangstaKage]

OOC: I will be taking over Dorian's room for now since he has been inactive and we need to keep this event moving :D

The heavy door swing open to room B-2. A furious lustful wind blew forward beckoning the brave maze-goers in. It was oddly, soothing drawing them closer. The sweet sound of fresh lillacs and fruitful citrus fruits filled the air. The room was dark, to dark to see, although it would not appear so to those standing in the doorway. A warm light came through shining on them like a spotligt. Bathing those entering with a delightful warmth. Not to hot, so it's uncomfortable, but not to cold either. It seemed like a perfect paradiase.

The roaring sound of a waterfall crashing into the rocks below filled the air. A misty water like vapor came from the room brushing them all with the cool sensation one might get from walking through a dense mist. As it cleared it revealed a large unimaginable expanse of land that seemed to large an area that it could even fit in the labyrinth. Soft rolling, lush green dew-covered hills, medows filled with flowers of every color. There was a gorgeous mountain range straight across from the doorway. In the center was the waterfall. A cascade of water the fell across the tops of the mountains into a wide river that narrowed into a stream until it dissappeared in a forest near the entrance of the room. The waterfall crashing continuously into the wide lake like opening that fed of into the wide river. This created even more frothy vapor-mist that drifted towards them, carrying with it the sweet smell of honey and pine.

Everything seemed so surreal yet it would cast a sense of surreality over them. A very Euphoric sense. As if you could fly high above the world. As, if you had the world but it's throat. You were invicable it beconed them forward. The warm light that seemed like that of the sun accually appeared to be casted by an eye. It glowed with it's white, omniprescent sun-like glare although the eye seemed very happy and welcoming as if it had been waiting forever for the exact people that were now standing in the doorway.

A soft singing soon started from the waterfall, the source of the beautiful singsong voice chanting in some foreign language to a soft harp, was impossible to disern but it was probably the most pretty and happy sound they have ever heard. It was like a Siren's calling. The whole seen was perfect impossible to resist. It was as if they had walked, from the murky depths of the some kind of monster cave into a paradaise.

[Nyanki]

(ooc: Since this place is getting dull and needs activity, I'm going to start pushing it myself. And Kinyoubi is the fairest way to do this.)

Kinyoubi was sitting on what was basically a boat made out of water. Mizubune no Jutsu was a sneaky way to travel. When it reached the shore of the island, Kinyoubi hopped on the land and released the jutsu. The formed water just collapsed into the sea, leaving no evidence of its existence.

As he approached the entrance of the Labyrinth, Kinyoubi could see the man that sat crossed-legged before the stone Leviathan's mouth, its eyes glowing in the night. With a goofy smile on his face, he asked, "Is this the place with all the prizes!?"

The man smiled right back. "It sure is! There's already some people inside, but there's still time left, I'm sure of it." He gestured toward the mouth. "I am Ojisan, and if you need anything, just call." He lowered his head in a slight bow, "But please, go right ahead."

"Thanks a lot, Ojisan!" Kinyoubi ran right inside, anxious of the prizes that might await. It could be money. Or something worth a lot of money, that could be sold for that much money. And hey, it was something to do. It was all good.

When Kinyoubi reached the split path in room B0, he stopped. "Which way?" His gaze turned back and forth. There were two ways. Kinyoubi reached into his pocket, then pulled out a golden coin. "Oh great money, okane, lead me to your family." He held the coin up before him vertically, the edge facing himself. "May reverse point left and obverse point right."

He took the coin back inside his right hand. "Left faces up to balance out my right," he said as he maneuvered the coin upon his thumb, tails-side up. Soon, the coin shot up in the air, spinning until it hit its peak. Then it fell upon the ground.

It was face up. "Then right, it is." Kinyoubi picked up the coin, then headed down that path.


(ooc: I'll stop here, since it's getting long xD. And yes, I'm flipping for real.)

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko recognized the genjutsu right away, though it was to late he was caught it in it. Stuck dead in his tracks. He knew the others would be fine they were close together, they could share chakras saving each other. Hiko would just have to hope this monster wasn't using a genjutsu over B-rank, that was all he would be able to dispell. He brought his hands together in a seal and muttered "Kai." He focused his chakra as much as possible trying to escape the genjutsu, if he didn't well surely he would be defeated.

[Nyanki]

When Kinyoubi stepped into B-1, he saw that there were two choices once again. He repeated the same process, holding the coin before him. "Okane," he said, as he positioned himself so that the forward entrance was to his right and the left still at his left, "Reverse, left. Obverse, forward." Kinyoubi placed it on his thumb, tails up, once again. After a high flip into the air, the coin bounced on the stone floor, landing tails.

Gracefully scooping the coin off of the floor, Kinyoubi headed to the left room. However, as he entered, he saw it was a dead end. There was someone else in here as well, but Kinyoubi wasn't going to waste anytime. The sooner he got to that prize, the better!

Kinyoubi headed out of the room and took the other path, leading him into B-2. It was a paradise within, which made Kinyoubi quickly jump to the thought that he might have won. But before he could give a cheer, he realized that it would have been a bit too easy. However, he began to look for the next route when a weird feeling came over him. Could he be close to the treasure? Who knows. He was under the Genjutsu and didn't know it yet.

[GnomeSoup]

Heri flew through the air over the sea on his cloud, making it go as fast as he possibly could. When he was a fair distance away from the mouth he murmured, "Release," Dropping through the cloud as it slowly faded out. He thought that, at the speed he was going, his inertia would carry him over to the ground in front of the saladragon-thingy's head. Instead, he hit the wall of the cliff, hard and started falling. "Uhhh, Uma, Ushi, Tori?" He said aloud, as he performed them making the cloud and landing on it, flying up to the ground in front of the dragon head thing and releasingthe cloud again. "Phew, thought I was a gonner!" Heri said, then looked up at the man, and just ran through A-0 to room B-0.

[Nyanki]

Ojisan watched the young ninja who could ride a cloud go right on through. "Eeh, he should make it far with a going spirit like that," he said as he chuckled.

(ooc: Since CK and Ryan haven't kept active, I'm killing their rooms so people can move on. I will also be spreading the monster rooms out so there's more maze movement. Should anyone be interested in a room, please contact me. And you must be willing to keep it active.)

In rooms C+2 and B-2, a white haze began to form. A sound of exhaling deeply, like a sound of the wind, could be heard. The white eyes of the creatures in C+2 grew bright, so bright to the point that it would cause a moment of blindness. The same feeling of when a bright light is switched on in a dark room suddenly. When the shinobi inside's eyes would reopen, they would find the room completely empty, and the doorways left and right open.

In B-2, as the mist grew, the genjutsu illusion to those put under it faded. Just as in the other room, a bright light flashed. When able to see again, the room was completely bare. It's one pathway left was open.

And that being the only way, Kinyoubi stepped through it. "Was that a genjutsu?" he muttered to himself, then shrugged it off.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko blinked a couple of times, and wondered what had just happened. As he looked around, he smiled. Everyone is okay it seems. Without another word he took off, heading for the door to his right(D+2), he held his sword, firmly in his hand and at the ready in case he encountered another monster.

ooc: sorry for shortness

[Nyanki]

(ooc: No worries, and updated map. I think I'm only going to update this every other room change or so, so pay attention to what I say.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/SamuraiPizzaCat/talknaruto/RPG/LL004.png
)

Hiko would find himself in an empty room, with a choice of left and right once again. On the other hand, Kinyoubi only had one way to go. The salamander man walked through the right-way path, only to find himself with a choice of left and right.

Taking a coin from his pocket once again, he said loud and lordly, "Okane!" He held vertical so the two sides each faced an open doorway. "Obverse, left. Reverse, right." After flipping the golden coin into the air, it fell and smacked the ground with a tails landing. "Then right it is." With that, Kinyoubi made his way to B-3.

(ooc Edited: lol, forgot tails was right)

[GnomeSoup]

Heri pulled a blank scroll from his pouch and marked down a circle with a 1 on it, and then wrote the word entrance in a circle with a line to room "1", then made a line to the room he was currently in, room "2", then made a line in two ways, but only made one circle, room 3, because that's the way he was headed. He then took off to the left(B+1), the room he marked as room "3".

Edit ooc: I'll take a room. It'll give me something else to do while I work on my next chara.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko looked around and decided that he would make a turn to the left. He walked through the door, his Kazekage robes fit loosely on his body so that he could make plenty of fluid movements if he needed to. As he walked through the door to the next room(D+3) he stopped right after entering to take careful note of anything that would be coming. He didn't want to be caught in an ambush.

[Nyanki]

(ooc: Alright Gnomie, I'll PM you the details in a bit. And you don't have to only move one room at a time. If the rooms are revealed on the map, or through what I say, you are free to go a few at a time.

I'm going to update the map again after the next set of posts.)


Hiko would find himself faced with the same choice again: left or right. The maze was just starting to get twisty-turny. How big could this maze be? What could be the prize? Only time would tell.

Kinyoubi found himself in a dead end room, so he turned around and started to head in the other direction. There wasn't really anything else for him to do.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko nodded and took off to the right, heading for the next room.(E+3) As he stepped through the door he didn't know what to expect. He knew this was to easy, how long could he go without encountering a monster? He walked with his sword held in his right hand ready for anything. He took in every inch of his surroundings in case he needed to make use of them. He stood just in the entrance of the room, and waited.

[Nyanki]

(New map:

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/SamuraiPizzaCat/talknaruto/RPG/LL005.png

Edit: Gnomie is taking over E+1. I'm letting him have his own character be in it if he decides to have the char go that way, and we'll see how that goes. Maybe that might make the maze easier to pass control and stuff.)

--------------------

The next set of rooms Hiko would face only allowed for one direction. It was continue forward, or turn back. However, should he decide to go forward, E+1's only path was blocked. And that only meant one thing.

As Kinyoubi entered the room, he saw that he only had two directions to choose from again. "Okane!" He began the ritual once again. He flipped the coin, and it landed this time on heads. "So left this time, huh?" Kinyoubi said as he strode in that direction. Hopefully, his process of flipping a coin would lead him the right path.

[GnomeSoup]

Ooc: Wish you told me that before! Jeezus... Jkjk lol

Heri ran through to room 3, dribbling on his scroll the whole way, Room 4, no other lines, room 5, two lines... He thought, in room C+2, wondering which way to choose... He bolted down the hallway on the right to D+2, writing a six on his scroll.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko saw the open door, so he took the right turn heading down into the next room, and found another open door heading through to a new room, with a closed and locked door(E+1) he stopped and held his blade ready. He knew that meant something bad from all the other rooms that had, had monsters in them. So he prepared himself and waited for whatever was to come. What would it be now?

[GnomeSoup]

Upon entering, Hiko would see 3 ninja standing there, with bright white eyes. One of them appeared scrawny, with a blank expression on it's face. The next appeared to be a beast of a man, bulging muscles all over, also with a blank expression. It would be safe to assume this one specialized in taijutsu. The next one over was practically a walking hazard sign, with bladed weapons, shuriken, kunai, and the sort attached everywhere on the characters body. This one had a blank expression as well. The room was also different from the others, as if you looked closely enough, you could see that there was a mouth painted on one wall, with eyes painted on an other. One eye controlled the taijutsu tank, an other controlled the scrawny one, and the mouth controlled the weapons master. Secretly, un-noticably, the room was the monster.

Heri had finally caught up with the Kazekage, with his map filled out thus far. Although the instant he walked into the room, the scrawny one formed a few hand signs, placing a genjutsu on Heri, before he even realized that there was anything in the room. Under the genjutsu, he was forced to fight all of the previous monsters that anyone had encountered in the Labirynth, starting with the goo-thingies from room A0.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko watched as Heri was stopped in his tracks by the genjutsu. Forming the Kai handseal he placed his hand on Heri and released the genjutsu, this would make the genjutsu user nearly useless seeing as with two of them they could undo genjutsu fairly easily. Forming another string of handseals he cupped his hand around his mouth and expelled a jet of fire. The jet headed right for the three ninja, filling the room, as it expanded. Soon it was racing from wall to wall.

[GnomeSoup]

Thanks. Heri said simply, forming a single hand seal and using Raiton armor, then ran straight at ninja 2, the taijutsu tank.

Ninja 2 had jumped over the fire, and kicked off the roof in our direction. Ninja 3, the weapons master, had flung hums self to the right, digging some blades on his palms into the walls, grabbing the wall. Ninja 1, the scrawny one, formed a few hand signs and covered himself in a veil of water, blocking the attack, then sent a column of fire right back towards Hiko.

[Kuro Nagashi]

I'll let you handle the taijutsu one, I can take care of the weapons and ninjutsu one. He formed two handseals and pressed his hand out, causing the fire to form into a tight compact sphere around his hand, then he spun and shoved it out at the weapons monster, causing a jet of fire to rush forward right at him. If he dodged the attack would hit the wall. If he didn't move, well he would be burnt to a crisp. Though Hiko hadn't gotten away unharmed, he had burnt his hand using that technique.

[GnomeSoup]

No no, as soon as I'm done with this tank, I'll be on the jutsu one. Heri replied to the Kazekage, not wanting to take his orders in spite, because of the current war. He then made a few hand signs, making his cloud, although it crackled with lightning, and as he stood in it, he randomly shot out bolts with punchs, aiming at Ninja 2.

Ninja 2, the taijutsu tank, simply took the bolts of lightning and continued running at Heri. Ninja 1 formed a few hand seals and pulled some earth out of the wall in front of Ninja 3, effectively blocking the fire. Ninja 3 punched straight at Heri's cloud, releasing some shuriken off his arm going straight at Heri. Ninja 1 then took the scorched wall, with chakra, and flung it at Hiko.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko smiled sending wind chakra through his blade slicing through the wall with little difficulty and then he jumped in the air throwing three kunai right at the ninjutsu ninja, as he did that he ran along the wall moving closer and closer to the ninja that was using ninjutsu against him.

[Jetkid]

So it can use three chakra natures? I know it's different, but is it allowed...? Just bring this to your attention Kuro, just in case....

IC: The group dashed through each room, following the Kazekage. Room through room they went until they caught up with the Kazekage and a new shinobi. "Sorry for falling behind, I hope don't mind," Minori said calmly. "Now, fill me in on these new opponents," he said as he averted his eyes to the three enemies.

[GnomeSoup]

Ooc: In actuality, he can only use the two that he did, because it is the room controlling him, and the room that sent out the wall. But since he use the jutsu sepcialist, the room used him to make it look like he did it.

Heri drove his cloud into the air, allowing the shuriken thrown at him, and the kunai, to be directed at the justu specialist. The tank jumped at Heri, punching in to the lightning bolt, as it shot a bolt at him, draining the cloud of lightning chakra, and putting so many volts in him it appeared to knock him out. Heri released the cloud and dove at the tank, with his katana outstreched towards the tanks face.

Ninja 1 pulled some earth up to block the assorted projectiles, getting them stuck in the earth. He then shot fireball after fireball at the assorted sand ninja. The weapons master discreetly threw an axe to the taijutsu tank, without Heri's notice, so that the tank would catch it before Heri got him.

[Jetkid]

Junichi blocked the incoming fireballs very easily, simply by maneuvering sand in front of them. He launched the other shinobi back towards their own side, then moved his sand in front of the group of shinobi, blocking them from the monsters, which then formed into a wall. "Do it," he muttered to Minori, who moved up to the wall. After forming some hands seals, he drew chakra from his mouth into his chest, then immediately exhaled it into a hole in the wall. Fire streamed from his mouth, which erupted into a large sphere of flames on the other side of the wall. To better manage the flames, hi brought his hand to his mouth. Not only would it hopefully burn the creatures alive, but as he ended the jutsu the hole closed. If the creatures breathed oxygen, they would surely be dead by now. Junichi kept the wall up though, just in case. "Kabe no Suna," they said together.

[GnomeSoup]

Ooc: Thanks. =p
What the hell?! I was about to kill that tank! Why'd you stop me?! Heri asked angrily, knowing fire was the wrong jutsu to use against them. That jutsu ninja has water, earth and fire. That's not going to kill them, and I could have just lessened it, but nooo... Heri's thought process was really working, as was his mouth in pissing off the other ninja. Not that Heri cared. They were, essentially, his enemy.

As Heri had assumed, on the other side of the wall was a solid block of rock, with all three ninja on the side of it, completely functional. Although the tank was a little scorched, weakening his leg. They all stood at the ready, dropping the wall as soon as the fire died down, knowing because of the room's eye. They stood on the other side of the wall of sand, ready to pounce the second the wall dropped.

[Jetkid]

"Mamoru, can you sense any chakra through the wall?" Minori asked patiently. After a brief pause, "Yes, the attack didn't seem to have any affect. Nice combo though...." Minori uttered a short thanks. "This ought to get them," Junichi said as the sand wall suddenly rushed to the opposite wall. "Sabaku Kyuu (Desert Coffin)!!" he shouted as the sand crushed into the wall, now only a few inches thick. Whatever was behind the sand.... was now in it.

[GnomeSoup]

The jutsu specialist covered his hand in both fire and water chakra, and sort of sliced through the sand, jumping through as the weapons master slicing the sand in an arc with a sword, passing through there, and the tank sliced through with his axe, stepping through quickly. They all did this as the sand was moving, and loose. They saw it coming from the wall's eyes. The weapons master flung shuriken at every single one of the ninja, and the jutsu specialist made a few hand signs then turned and shot a few fireballs. The taijutsu tank was rushing at Heri with the axe in his hand.

Heri met the tank with his katana, blocking, and used the axe as leverage, jumping in an arc that flung him into a front flip over the tank, while he shot a type of bolt of lightning at the tank.

[Jetkid]

Kamiko and Etsuko flung kunai at the incoming projectiles, effectively blocking them. Junichi moved sand over the tank's feet, then flung him upside down. Minori wove a few hand signs, then blew an equal amount of small fireballs, which converged with the enemy's.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go," stated Mamoru. She dashed through the separate rooms with no difficulty due to her sharingan. As she jumped out of the entrance, she nodded at Ojisan. Headed towards Konoha, she shifted into overdrive, hoping to get there in a few hours.

[GnomeSoup]

Ooc: I'll delete the posts, and the only reason I had my character say that is because he had already seen them in action. I wasnt trying to make him a know it all character.


Ic: With the tank being flipped upside down, he had almost nothing to use to dodge Heri's lightning bolt, and ended up getting hit right in the face, and the ninja turned to a statue right there, and walked slowly over to the eye closest to the blocked door to the next room. The ninja touched it and melded into the earth, covering the eye. While all this was happening, the weapons master was throwing knives and shuriken crazily, while attaking the guy controlling sand in close combat, using his insane speed. The ninjutsu expert was forming hand seals, and expelling water all over the place.

Heri made a cloud, jumped inside, and took off, without an other word. He dropped a paper face down as he went. The paper read, "I would usually say peace, but we are at war. By the time your done reading this, you will have exploded. BOMB TAG, BIYITCH!" Yes, he actually wrote the b-word spelt that way.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko had been standing back watching, this was getting quite annoying. He slid his katana into its sheath and drew two kunai. Then he rushed straight forward, right at the weapons master, using the kunai to block the weapons as they were flung at him. Then as he drew closer and closer he spun on his heel stabbing out with the kunai, one for the throat the other right for the chest. He didn't bother with the ninjutsu user just yet, it would be his target next.

-------------------------------------------------

Konata approached the maze. She had a large smile on her face as she walked forward looking to Ojiisan and then into the maze she went. As she entered the first room she saw the open door, she walked towards it looking around her as she went. Seeing as didn't know what to expect. She walked through the door of the first room and came to another room with two open doors.

Standing, and looking between the two doors, she made a right turn heading through the door and into another room. She stood in this room and looked around for a minute. It seemed that bother doors were open so she continued walking straight till she was in a new room again. Now standing in B-2 she stood there for a minute, looking around wondering what was up.

[GnomeSoup]

The weapons master jumped away as quickly as possible when the Kazekage lunged at him with the two kunai, but ended up getting knocked in both the neck and the chest, and he bled earth colored blood. He wiped some of his chest with a kunai using his left hand, still throwing shuriken with his right, and licked the blood of the kunai. He then threw it and pulled out two swords, and started spinning wildly and dangerously, obviously knowing what he was doing.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko smiled jumping above the weapons user weaving a string of handseals. Katon: Haisekishou Expelling a jet of ash over the spinning weapons user, his spinning just drew the ash into a tornado like structure around him. Hiko moved back in his flip, clicking his teeth causing the ash to explode in a cloud of flames. Though just in case he kept his eyes trained on the cloud.

------------------------------------

Konata finished with looking around at her surroundings and she continued to the next room(C-2), there was now only one way to go, so she continued walking, heading into the next room(C-3) She stood looking at the two ways she could go. She looked and made her decision heading to the left into a new room that now had two ways to go(D-3) She now faced a new decision, which way to go?

[GnomeSoup]

The weapons expert grinned as the ash fell on him, melted into the ground, as it made a spinning rod, with middle bits sticking out randomly, as he launched out of the roof with a sword outstretched for the Kazekage's heart.

[Nyanki]

(ooc: o.O ^agreed
Anyway, maze-push time. There's still a good deal of rooms left, so fights shouldn't be dragged out. My goal is to end it by Christmas.)

Kinyoubi sensed the stranger wander into the room he was in. "Hmm?" He turned around to see who, seeing Konata. He shrugged, continuing to his coin flip. He didn't know who she was, and the prize was his goal right now. It pinged as his thumb hit it, the sound ringing through the room. It toppled onto the floor, wobbling until it came to a stop. Kinyoubi could tell the side from where he stood. His eyes knew a coin better than anyone. "Reverse. So left it is." He went over to pick up his coin, then headed toward the left pathway.

[Kuro Nagashi]

ooc: deleting posts now :D

IC:

Hiko saw the monster from above, drawing his katana in a fluid movement as he sidestepped, the cloth on his arm caught slightly he stabbed up, catching the monster right through the neck with his blade. Piercing all the way through he spun cutting a perfect line through the monsters neck. Though as he did this he had been thinking, he knew the monster didn't have the power to come out of the ceiling and the ninjutsu monster had performed no handseals.

Suddenly he remembered the wall from when he walked in. His eyes slanted and he smiled. It was time to get out of this room, but he had to get rid of that wall so it wouldn't protect the monsters anymore. He sheathed his blade and formed rapid handseals facing the wall, he took in a deep breath. Katon: Hibashiri

Two powerful jets of fire rushed right towards the wall aiming to slam into it and kill whatever was helping these monsters.

-----------------------------------------

Konata didn't pay much attention to Kinyoubi, though she had seen him somewhere before she quickly let it slip her mind. She walked forward, instead of going left into the next room. She looked around taking in her surroundings she didn't know what to expect, she was in yet another room. How long did she need to walk.

[Nyanki]

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/SamuraiPizzaCat/talknaruto/RPG/LL006.png

Konata would find herself in a dead end. However, Kinyoubi would have two paths to choose from once again. This time, it was forward and right. However, the paths were blocked. This would be a sure sign to any entering ninja who had gone through the past obstacles that monsters lurked within the room's corners. That is, if they didn't see the monsters first!

Outside of the maze, Ojisan sat meditating before the stone leviathan's mouth. His eyes were closed as he awaited more challengers. "Time is drawing to a close," he said to himself.

(ooc: I'm going to go ask Jetkid if he wants this room.)

[GnomeSoup]

The wall started making an earsplitting noise, as did the jutsu specialist, the last living ninja. It then covered the entire room in water, which made the room mud, and the face on the wall melted away, as did the door, opening to the next room.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko smiled, he had figured it out the wall was the source, with the now open door he ran through the door and looked around examining his new surroundings. Would there be more monsters or would he be walking?

------------------------------------

Konata quickly assessed the dead end and headed back to the room she was just in with Kinyoubi. When she came to that room she took the path on the left entering the room that Kinyoubi was in now. Looks like we do end up in the same room, eh. She laughed slightly and looked at the closed doors this was a new one.

[Nyanki]

(ooc: And I just made that map too xD

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/SamuraiPizzaCat/talknaruto/RPG/LL007.png)

Hiko could travel onward, through several one-way rooms. When he came to G0, he would have the same choices as Kinyoubi and Konata, except his weren't blocked. Now, which way would the Kazekage choose? Forward or right?

Kinyoubi looked back. It was the lady he saw before. "Oh, yeah I guess."

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko decided to make the right turn, he just had a gut feeling, but he didn't know which way he was going. Nobody else did, he would just have to depend on luck. So he walked forward again into the unknown.

-------------------

Konata looked at Kinyoubi, with a chuckle. You don't talk very much do you? She examined Kinyoubi and noticed he had the same attire as Shoda did when she had met him. Hey by any chance do you know a Shoda Hyuuga?

[Nyanki]

(ooc: OK, the rooms with monsters are marked. Yes, those are the things from Space Invaders xD Ryan will be taking H0. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/SamuraiPizzaCat/talknaruto/RPG/LL008.png
)

Hiko walked forward into a room with only one path, and that one path was blocked with a stone door. What lied inside for the Kazekage this time?

"Hnn?" Kinyoubi sounded in response. "Yeah, Skikage-sama. I work for him. For the INS." Unlike the other members of the INS, Kinyoubi actually worked for the INS and its leader. He was only there for as long as he was getting paid. One that was done, he would move on. That was Kinyoubi for you.

[Jetkid]

Those who went left from room D-3 would now find themselves in an open cavern. stalagmites and stalactites hung from the roof and rose from the floor. A strange orb hovering at the top of the 20 some feet tall cave emitted an eerie green glow. The people who entered would see two exit, one to the right and one far ahead and the back of the cave, some 100 feet away. Both were simple and small holes in the cave walls, easy enough for normal people to miss.
The people would soon discover they were not alone, however. There were already ten inhabitants. They were in the middle of the cavern, in a circled taking in the most light from the orb as they could. They seemed to take no notice of the incoming shinobi, what was their hidden power?

[Kuro Nagashi]

Konata stared at the group of people. Being her she spoke up. HEY!! What are you guys doing just standing around, shouldn't we be doing something? Was she stupid just shouting her arrival to a group of people? We would find out wouldn't we? Though as she shouted at the group, she slid her two tonfa off of her waist and held them in a ready position.

[Nyanki]

Kinyoubi just looked around. "This reminds me of Mashin Hiradoma." Mashin Hiradoma was the old hideout of the great baddie Kimen. The INS had left that place as it crumbled into ruins. Kinyoubi looked towards the monsters and ball of light. "Except for that and that." He walked into the room casually, not too sure what was going on. As he stepped into room, Kinyoubi saw one of the blocked exits in the feint light. "Awww, it looks like the way out is covered. I want my prize."

[Jetkid]

The group of strange monsters turned so that they now faced outwards. They were all identical. They were all extremely pale, though their long black trenchcoats, black beani hats, black boots, black gloves, and and black shaded glasses hid nearly all their skin. They appeared human, though sick. They were all deathly skinny, though somehow this didn't affect their taijutsu. They were also all women. They all stared forward, completely still, as if statues.

ooc: Sorry for it being so stale, it's sort of hard to inject emotion into mindless monsters <.<

[Nyanki]

"Are you taking shelter in here or something?" Kinyoubi scratched his head. It seemed like a scene from a rundown village, where people lived out on the streets. Except, this wasn't outside, it was a cave. And not just any cave, but a cave in a maze. It was weird.

Kinyoubi was unaware of the monster-fighting concept of the maze, as he had not had to fight any monsters here yet.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Konata just stood and stared at the women. Hm, maybe they need help. She hadn't to fight any monsters yet either, so she took a tentative step towards the group. As she did, she put one of her tonfa away and held her hand out, speaking in a gentle tone. Do you ladies need help?

[GangstaKage]

As Hiko walked into the next room a wave of heat would hit him carrying with it the stench of dead thing. Piercing, white snake-like eyes hit him from the gloomy darkness. It was all that could be seen. The room was pitch black, except for those horrific white eyes. The glare was enough to strike fear into the hearts of anyone. An eerie scratching sound filled the dark room. It sounded like someone was rubbing large pieces of metal along a rock. By the way the sound traveled the room was huge.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko couldn't see anything except those eyes, giving him a sense of fear. He quickly wove a string of seals. And then blew a small jet of fire from his mouth attempting to light the room. As he let the jet come from his mouth he slowly reached for his blade and held it at the ready, he didn't know what would be coming at him now.

[Jetkid]

The nearest 'woman' to the duo walked forward slowly, taking over a minute to pass a mere 50 feet. She leaned closer to them, now only inches away, and remained still. How would they react to this??

[Nyanki]

Kinyoubi just stood there, raising an eyebrow. He turned to Konata. "Any idea?" He was confused. "Maybe you should talk," he whispered, "maybe it's a female matter, or something she'd be more comfortable talking to you about."

[Kuro Nagashi]

Konata looked at the woman, she was overly confused, so she did what she did best. She talked. Um do you need help with something? If so you just gotta tell me. She stood staring at the woman that was only inches from her.

[Jetkid]

The 'woman" looked to the one who spoke last. She leaned in even farther until she was nearly touching faces with her. After several seconds of silence, she leaned back a few inches. Then she brought her left hand up and went to touch the surely freaked out woman's face. Would she let her connect? If so, she was in for trouble....

[Kuro Nagashi]

Konata gave a quick glance to Kinyoubi when the woman touched her face which scared the crap out of her. She stepped back so the woman couldn't touch her. Then she spoke again. Are you blind or something? If so just say something, use your words woman. Konata was now agitated, if the lady wasn't gonna say anything it just made life even more difficult. Or are you a mute to?

[Jetkid]

Monster 1 had absorbed everything about the woman through the simple touch, and with a single hand seal the information was sent back to the orb which pulsed, sending out a ripple of green light. "I'm terribly sorry," she said with a convincing smile. "I've been stuck in this cave for so long I just couldn't believe another human would come save me. Please take me above ground." She began to cry silently, but was seemingly on the edge of bawling.

[Kuro Nagashi]

ooc: okay, ooc's deleted :D Just be clear from now on :D

ic:

Konata looked at the woman and frowned, she was truly a sad sight. A small tear slid down her face. Okay, come on me and this guy can lead you out. She looked over to Kinyoubi. Will you help me lead these guys out of here?

[Jetkid]

"Oh, oh th-thank you so much!!" Monster 1 shouted as it threw itself upon the woman in a hug. What bad intentions could this woman possibly have???

ooc: I really need to get to bed, seeya tomorrow... ^.^

[Nyanki]

Kinyoubi faced internal struggle. His love of money wanted him to go on, to find the prize. But a string had been plucked by the sad situation and he felt bad. Then, he thought of something. "It looks like this is the wrong way anyway, with there no way out. So sure." He figured he would have to turn around and head out anyway, so why not? It struck him a bit odd that they were all in here. Maybe they were lost in the maze? Kinyoubi didn't want to ask.

(ooc: OK, good night :))

[Kuro Nagashi]

Konata let the woman hug her, and then she slipped out of it. Well then we had better get going. She turned and headed back for the door that they had just came in through. To bad, this wasn't the right way though.

[Jetkid]

The second the woman turned her back Monster 1 thrusted forward towards her lower back with a raiton covered hand, which would instantly kill her if it went through, but shock her system if it even barely touched.

[Nyanki]

Reaction kicked in, and Kinyoubi quickly hand sealed. He opened his mouth wide and a stream of fire shot out across the room, blocking the running path of the Chidori-ing women. He held the seal tightly as he let out a constant enough stream to give time for Konata to turn around and react. The flames made a swooshing sound as they crashed into the wall on the other side.

[GangstaKage]

The katon shot into the room, served no purpose but to deplete Hiko's chakra, because as he walked into the room it was illuminated by many torches along the walls and ceilings of the cathedral-like room. The rocky walls arched up into a large dome above them. In the center of the incredbly large room stood a mountain like structure pointing upwards, like spires of a castle. Perched on the very top point of the mountain was a strange lizard like creature. It was sharpening it's claws against the mountain, which was undoubtedly the source of the grating sound. Large wings uncurled from the back of the beast as it's back arched like some sort of cat. It's tail swung eagerly out behind it. A horrible snarl whiped across it's face showing massive, razor like teeth. To the left of the room was a lake. The surface of the lake reflected the lights of the torch casting a ghostly glow about the dragon's face.

With a blood curtling roar it lepped of it's perch towards Hiko swinging with a large sweep of it's claws. The dragons glare showed the focus it used hunting down it's prey. Sharp teeth gleamed in the light from the torched. It was time to eat.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko watched as the Dragon awoke. Well this will be fun. He quickly sheathed his blade, and felt his kunai holster, he had five left. He then felt in his shuriken holster he had about ten of those left. He would have to be careful if he wanted to get through the rest of the maze. He let a goofy smile cross his young face. The dragon came right towards him. Now he would act.

He waited till the dragon was a second away from striking him and he rolled forward so he was behind the dragon. He needed time to set up what he wanted. He formed a simple handseal and created two bunshins that split away from him trying to draw the monsters attention while he did what he needed to do.

[GangstaKage]

The dragon stretched out it's long neck, turning it so he was now facing Hiko's general direction. The dragon exhaled letting our a torrent of green flames. There was a cackling sound as the flames spread forward attempting to consume the clones. It has a wide range although it wasn't that far. The dragon lifted up it's claws so that it was very close to the green flames that now, spewed forth from it's mouth. The claws caught on fire. It didn't harm the dragon much because it's claws, were one of the most dense parts of his body aside from the tail and wings. The claws were now lit on fire and proved to be even more dangerous at this point.

[Kuro Nagashi]

The first clone was caught, and exploded in a poof of smoke. While the other clone narrowly avoided the smoke, drawing two of its shuriken throwing them up at the dragon aiming to hit it in the eye that it was facing. It was mainly there to buy time.

Hiko stood back hidden the shadow of the staircase, the five kunai held in his hand it looked like a slew of bomb tags were dangling, at least fourty-five total. He held them preparing. He would have to move extremely fast, once his other clone was done for.

[GangstaKage]

The dragon moved, it's tail quickly lashing out, as it deflected the shuriken. The tail then quickly shot off aiming to pierce the second clone. The dragon waited steadily floating in mid-air waiting. It's wings beat steadily. It obviously wasn't stupid. It claws still gleamed in the green flames that the dragon had previously used to take out one of the clones. The dragons eyes examined the bomb tags on the kunai, waiting patiently, now, on the defensive.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko smiled as his second clone was punctured. He quickly threw the first kunai right through the smoke attaching it to a wall. Then he flipped throwing one under the dragon. He jumped putting two over the dragon, with one right beside there was only one open direction the other side. Which was soon filled by a kunai. He smirked, the Dragon wouldn't be able to breath any flame now or it would blow the bomb tags up, and it was boxed in pretty well. Now he waited to see what the Dragon would do.

[GangstaKage]

The dragon spread it's wings wide open, suddenly shooting them down quickly flapping his wings. This created powerful gusts of wind that shot forward towards Hiko, they had a slicing nature to them comparable to Fuuton chakra . This wind tore off most of the bomb tags infront of him shooting them forward towards Hiko. The dragon ignited the one nearest him as it flew towards his prey. This would create a chain reaction resulting in a massive explosion that was heading strait towards Hiko.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko wasn't expecting that, he quickly formed handseals, as the blast came towards him. Everything seemed to cover him, but then he was over the dragon, he did have multiple cuts on his left arm, as he fell towards the dragon he formed a string of seals. Throwing two shuriken that suddenly grew to over triple their size and aimed to rip into the Dragon's wings.

------------------------------

The second the woman turned her back Monster 1 thrusted forward towards her lower back with a raiton covered hand, which would instantly kill her if it went through, but shock her system if it even barely touched.

Konata turned and scowled at the woman who had attacked her. You little b****! Was what came out of Konata's mouth. Try and help someone and this is how they treat you. You're gonna die for that. She formed a rapid set of handseals and then slammed her hands against the ground causing a set of spikes made from ice to lunge up at the woman who had just stabbed at her.

[GangstaKage]

The dragon dived forward through the air. He was now flying to the left of the shuriken. It grazed the dragons leg shredding a bit of the black scales that covered his body. But it was needed as the dragon swept forth slicing with his flame-covered claws. It would be difficult to dodge since Hiko was in mid-air. The dragon was trying to knock Hiko into the water.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko smirked, he yanked his arms back and the shuriken came flying back for the Dragon. Letting himself drop, the claws flew overhead singing his hair. If the Dragon didn't move and fast it would be pinned to the ground by the two large shuriken. Hiko stood on the ground at the edge of the lake controlling the shuriken, soon it would be a tangled mess if Hiko wasn't careful, he just needed the shuriken to stick into the Dragon.

[GangstaKage]

The dragon dived towards Hiko letting the shuriken soar past him. His sliced the near invisable wires as his floated downward rendering them useless. The dragon broke it's fall so that it was now face to face with Hiko staring directly at Hiko. It was obviously trying to make eye-contact. It's white eyes weren't just for show.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko payed no attention to the eyes, he just needed to finish this monster off. He drew another shuriken leaving him with 7 as he propelled himself over the Dragon and in mid flip he threw the shuriken down weaving another set of seals. The shuriken began to multiply until it was in the fifties if not sixties. When he thought to himself. So this room tries to run your chakra out seeing as it is to big to attack up close.

[GangstaKage]

The dragon curled up in it's wings which deflected most of the shuriken. Although the dragon was cut a bit on it's leg and arm. It unfurled the wings landing on the ground as it expelled five orbs of flames that shot forward towards Hiko. The dragon blew lightly a few times with it's wings making the fire even larger. There was now a wall of massive green flames shooting towards Hiko. Dodging would be very difficult. Hiko's best bet was to block. The dragon was now on the ground.A small crator was formed from the impact of the Dragon's landing.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko looked at the wall he couldn't dodge, so he pushed his hands out and made a wall of his own chakra. The fire broke past in some parts burning his clothing and skin. Though he made it through forming a ball of fuuton chakra in his hand. I'm gonna kill you now! The ball grew in size and he whizzed it like a baseball at the dragon, when suddenly it grew to the size of a bowling ball, to a wrecking ball, to something bigger, heading right for the dragon. It would shred it on contact, and at the speed it was going Hiko thought he had it, he would know in two seconds.

[GangstaKage]

The dragon was surprised. There was no way even it could avoid that.So just as the Fuuton chakra was heading towards him the dragon erupted into A massive wav a lava flying towards Hiko. The wind just served to increase the power of the liquidy lava turning it into a massive whirling tornado of lava that was flying towards Hiko. It would cause major burns if hit head on and it's range was massive so it would be difficult to dodge or block. The strongest of te dragon's techniques....It gave it's life to kill Hiko. Poor Dragon T_T

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko pressed his feet to the wall sending him higher up just out of reach of the Youton. As it hit the wall, and did no harm to him, he fell to the ground landing in a cool crouch. He stood and smiled. Must be getting close, things are getting tougher and tougher. He walked forward not knowing what was next.

[Nyanki]

(ooc: I'm working on the next map, you can have a text description for now. xD)

Hiko would find himself at a dead end. It seemed that this turn was not the correct one. Which way would he decide to go now?

Konata turned and scowled at the woman who had attacked her. You little b****! Was what came out of Konata's mouth. Try and help someone and this is how they treat you. You're gonna die for that. She formed a rapid set of handseals and then slammed her hands against the ground causing a set of spikes made from ice to lunge up at the woman who had just stabbed at her.
After Konata began sealing, Kinyoubi halted the flames. He reached onto his back and removed the giant blade from its holder. "Trying to trick us out of the treasure, huh? Well, we'll get you for this!" Kinyoubi started to get angry. You don't stand between this man and his money. Or money he could possibly get. That was a bad idea.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko turned going back to G0 and walked through the open door leading him to yet another room G+1, maybe this would be the right way. He could only hope or he would have to head all the way back and find a new path, which would take a good deal of time.

[Nyanki]

(ooc: I'm trying to prevent myself from having to make maps xD)

Room G+1 had only one open path, so Hiko would follow it right through. However, upon coming to room G+2, the path would split. Hiko could continue to go forward, or instead turn to the left. Which way would he go? And which one of these many rooms was end? The goal? Where could it be?

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko walked straight forward heading into the next room G+3, he was now just walking, and he didn't like not knowing where to go, but he wanted that prize so he would walk as long as he needed.

[Nyanki]

In G+3, the Kazekage faced another split path. This time, the roads went left and right. An eerie feeling was in the air. Could a monster room be one of these directions? Hiko would just have to make a choice and see. For all he knew, the next move could be the exit, and the prize.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko took a right turn heading into the next room, he had no clue what to expect yet again. Though he could feel the change in the air, what could be awaiting him. He now walked through the door to a new room, H+3

[Nyanki]

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/SamuraiPizzaCat/talknaruto/RPG/LL009.png

Luck didn't seem to be on Hiko's side as he found himself in another monster room. Just how many rooms with these monsters in them were there? There was no need to worry about that right now though, because the Kazekage needed to focus what was right there, right then. After Hiko was done with that, he could go either right or forward.

[GangstaKage]

A boat pulled up to the shore of the Island. A small anchor was dropped into the water setting the boat in place. Hikoro paid the captain the traveling fee. He was finally at this forsaken labrynth. He traveled all the way to Iwa from Konoha because he thought he would take the senic route. DUMB IDEA! Hikoro walked off grumbling quietly to himself as he walked off the boat.

As his boat was leaving a rowboat carrying a strange array of travelers pulled up to shore. Out of this rowboat walked a young girl with a Taki head band and a large scroll strapped to her back. Following her were three flamingo's. One was a bright yellow with a turtle shell on it's back. Another was a bright pink color. The third was large and awkward. It seemed more like an ostritch. Yanagi grinned happily. She stretched taking in a deep breath of the salty sea air.

Yanagi grinned at Hikoro and walked up to him holded out her hand. "Hi! I'm Saichou, Yanagi of Takigakure! You?" Hikoro gripped her hand a bit weirded out by her openness. "Kaname, Hikoro, Konohagakure." he shook her hand lightly as if it was covered in germs. "Nice to meet you Kaname-kun!" she smiled and walked forward unperturbed by the massive dragon head. Her unique array of flamingo followers followed her.

[Jetkid]

"Come at me," Monster 1 shouted. "Unless you're too afraid, bitches!" She didn't even take a defensive stance or pull out a weapon, she slimply stood there.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Konata got a new gleam in her eyes. Like a girl who had just had her hair pulled. I'm gonna beat your scrawny a**!! She flipped her hands the spikes flattened covering the whole ground in solid ice which would make it hard to move, she jumped onto the ice, skates made from cutting ice formed on her feet as she flew towards Monster 1. As she did she slid her tonfa into her hand which formed sharp spears of ice on them. It was on, and like donkey kong, now.

[Jetkid]

All the monsters focussed chakra in their feet to help them grip the ice better, but remained motionless. "Alright, let's see if you can hit me!" Monster 1 broke out in hystarical laughter. Was she crazy, and what was with the other nine???

[Kuro Nagashi]

Konata spun on the ice as she came right into Monster 1, she ducked and extended her tonfa creating a bladed monster. Her eyes showed true focus, she was someone that you knew not to mess with. As she spun ice sparkled around her. Her hair spun. What was she doing rushing into an attack like this? Was it just a pride thing or did she have a plan? If you didn't know Konata most would go with it was a pride thing. Suddenly her spin stopped and she slammed a skate into the ice, causing it to turn into jaded lunging spikes were mosnter 1 stood.

[Nyanki]

"How the hell am I supposed to fight with this all over the ground?" Kinyoubi made a few hand seals and spurted fire from his mouth. A fireball in the dai symbol flew towards the nine in the back. If they didn't move, at least three or four would get hit by it. What Kinyoubi wanted them though was to come closer, but getting hit was still good. After what they did, he wanted them to burn.

[Jetkid]

Thanks. :D

IC: Monster 1 did nothing to block or evade the attacks. The ice shards sunk right through her body, which seemed to absorb them into it. The tonfa's had a similar effect, though due to them still being held by the girl they didn't completely go through, though it made no difference. Monster 1 condensed into a sphere of black matter, then split into 19 sepperate spheres. Each sphere then expanded into another 'woman.' "You can never beat me!!" they shouted in unison as they all launched themselves at the girl.

[GangstaKage]

"I have an idea! We should go through the maze together!" Yanagi exclaimed with a happy face. "Horray for traveling groups!" She jumped up into the air acting like a little child. Hikoro sighed "Bu-"

"Onward to victory!" Yanagi sid adventurously pointing forward into the direction of the cave. She grabbed Hikoro's arm and ran forward into the maze. The soon wre in room A0. "Left!" Yanagi immeditly yelled. Benidzuru, the bright pink flamingo used it's wing to adjust a monocle that rested on it's beak. A big green hat was perched on the Flamingo's head. "I think not, We should go right!"

"LEFT!"
"RIGHT!"
"LEFT!"
"RIGHT!"

Hikoro and the two other flamingoes sighed in unison. "Why don't you just flip a coin?!" yelled louder then he had planned on. Yanagi and her flamingo grudgingly agreed. "I'm tails!" Yanagi claimed even before Hikoro managed to produce a coin. "But I wan-" Benidzuru tryed to argue but Hikoro interupted. "SHE'S TAILS!" he was already frustrated. Yanagi stuck her tounge out snobishly at Beni. The coin landed on tails. It was now his turn to be sticking out a tounge.

This went on for about an hour. Much longer then it should have taken to navigate through three rooms. They ended up going right. Then, without anywhere else to go they went straight then right again. Now there shouldn't be much arguing because there was only one place to move but, they still argued over it. They were now in room C+2

[Nyanki]

(ooc: What about my attack? :huh:

"How the hell am I supposed to fight with this all over the ground?" Kinyoubi made a few hand seals and spurted fire from his mouth. A fireball in the dai symbol flew towards the nine in the back. If they didn't move, at least three or four would get hit by it. What Kinyoubi wanted them though was to come closer, but getting hit was still good. After what they did, he wanted them to burn.

And I thought just getting hit made two, not as many as they were hit, although I guess that's not much of a big deal, it just seems weird

Edit: I'll take the next room for you Kuro, seeing as the only other RPer online now is Terr, and he went already.)



Within room H+3, the Kazekage would find himself up against what appeared to be three tigers. A red tiger, a yellow tiger, and a blue tiger. Their eyes were a bright, glowing white, and they snarled at the intruder, slowly stepping toward him threateningly. Their huge paws pressed smoothly against the cold hard floor of the maze as they approached Hiko.

[GangstaKage]

After about a half an hour of arguing Hikoro&crew ended up going right then left. This put them in a dead end room D+1.

"This is your fault!" Screeched Beni! "Will you just shut up!" Hikoro yelled not wanting another scream fest to start up. He already had a headache from the arguing. They went back into D+2, the room they were just in. With no where else to go but straight. The group went down the hallway into room D+3.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko looked at the tigers with a half interested look. He still had about half his chakra left so he would try to end this quickly. His hands blurred. Then before the tigers could strike he was blowing ash into the room. Soon it covered the area, he didn't know what powers these guys would posses but he didn't want to know. He clicked his teeth as his katana screeched being removed from its sheath again. The ash ignited, and he spun his katana holding it horizontally as he waited for what would be next. Hopefully he got them with one shot.

[Nyanki]

While the other two fell back, the red tiger jumped forward as the ash lit, opening its wide jaws. It inhaled the explosive flames into its mouth, with what didn't get eaten turn into nothing more than a light show. After it finished its meal, it let out a growl and pounced at Hiko. The other two changed their motion and ran ahead so that they would be closer to the action. So they could take their swipe at the Kazekage should the chance come up.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko didn't like the fact it just ate his ninjutsu, that wasn't very good. That wasn't catnip you know. He winked as he rushed at the red tiger, he jumped into the air aiming to pass over the red one, so he would be in the middle of the tigers, and in a fluid motion he stabbed with his right hand at the tiger on his left, and moved his other hand so he could fend off the other two tigers if need be.

[Nyanki]

Hiko was coming at the yellow tiger, who responded to the Kazekage's hit with a loud roar. From its mouth shot a blast of Raiton in a sphere shape almost as big as the tiger's head. The red tiger landed in the doorway, then turned around slowly. It crept back towards the scene, growling underneath its breath.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko smiled, raiton wasn't gonna work with him. Okay Tony time to go back to the box. He channeled fuuton chakra through his blade cutting right through the raiton sphere and continued to stab at the yellow tiger. Now the reach of the blade was longer, despite it not being seen it was the hien technique, mixed with fuuton, so now the tigers would need to be a bit more careful.

[Nyanki]

Upon contact with the Fuuton blade, the yellow tiger let out a crying sound, then disappeared in into a white mist that hung in the air where it once was. It was gone. But behind Hiko, the blue tiger slashed with abnormally long and sharp claws that it extended from its paws. They were about a whole foot in length and looked pretty scary.

[Kuro Nagashi]

Hiko spun meeting the claws with his blade, but not before he could receive a small slash. He winced in pain as his shoulder was slashed. Okay Sylvester, nap time. He sent his fist out, a gust of fuuton chakra centered around it. Upon contact it would expel out and cut the tiger.
