The irresistable force meets an unmovable object!

[itachuchiha]

zaneku glares angrily at onikaru as black flames engulf zaneku's entire body. zaneku's body began to float as his eyes resembled the flames of hell. "no more running it ends here." the sun over poison is covered creating a solar eclipse. as the sly turned a dark blood red zaneku began to chant in an ancient language. suddenly the sky began to break open as black lighting shapes emerged from the blood red sky. black flames began to rain from the blood red sky covering the entire village in an internal flame. zaneku slowly floats back done to the ground as his body begins to denigrate into ash. seconds later zaneku's ashes flew at onikaru.

sasimaru looks up as the black flames begin to fall. as sasimaru was distracted by the fall of the flames the spikes pierce his skin. sasimaru shows no sign of pain as blood begins to flow down his chest. sasimaru jumps back as the spikes rip from his chest and blood squirts out of his chest like a fountain. sasimaru then pulls out a scroll that zaneku gave him as his blood makes contact with the scroll a black chakra shield covers sasimaru's body protecting him for the black flames.

minari grins as the black flames begin to fall, "well Bitch time for me to put on my lovely black shield that lord zaneku gave me. minari lets down his swords and jumps back as he pulls a scroll from his back pocket. min air then bites the tip of his finger as blood falls and makes contact with the scroll. as a black chakra shield covers minari protecting him from the black flames. (zaneku gave ochiro a scroll for protection as well)

[Moongem]

Onikaru ignored the ash and looked around, his face similar to his fathers when Akuma was attacking Oni. He closed his eyes and thought, what could he do!? He ground his teeth together as he thought. Thoughts and scenario's flowed through his mind before he turned quickly and ran after Ryuu, his feet slapping against the ground as the flames began to fall He reached forwards, grabbing towards her.

Shiro looked at Sasimaru as he jumped back and the now bloody crystal receded. He looked up and clapped his hands together. His body quickly sank into the ground and reappeared underneath Ryuu and Onikaru, grabbing both their ankles, "Onikaru!" He snorted angerlly, "Focus!"

Onikaru's eyes widened as his sempai from Akatsuki spoke to him. He had panicked. Suddenly, transparent rain drops began to fall from the sky and a pop of chakra exploded from Onikaru's left. Minzuri! He put his burnt hands together and began to do handsigns. He finished and the three of them turned transparent and the fames passed through them as though they were not their.
Onikaru turned quickly, "Minzuri!" He said quickly. Shiro grabbed Onikaru's wrist and shook his head, "Shes injured, unable to activate the Dark realm transfer, and worst of all weak. Unable to help us further. Shes just a liability from here."

Onikaru stared at Shiro, a clear panic in his eyes, "But! She did the rain! Were only safe because of her!" Shiro squeezed Onikaru's wrist, knowing he was weakened and he would get away with it, "Onikaru. She's not worth it." Onikaru looked around, the worry clear in his eyes, "I can't just leave her out their!" He said pulling his hand from Shiro's grasp, "I wouldn't leave you! I wouldn't leave her! and I refuse to leave her, refuse to let her die when I can do something about it!" Shiro scoffed at his, 'leader', "You sound like your father, Onikaru-chan." Onikaru's eyes widened as he looked at Shiro with now hate filled eyes. "Fine." Onikaru said as he lowered his head, his hair covering his eyes, "We'll leave her..." He said, almost to himself. Shiro looked at the places where the enemies had been, Only on had the dark element. Zaneku. The white thorn in his side. He sighed as he waited for his opponents next move.

[Rinko]

Ryuu heard the footsteps coming towards her. She whirled around. "Onikaru-san?" He looked panicked.. She moved to she side as Shiro appeared. Confused, she looked at them as they spoke back and forth. Suddenly, she felt a huge explosion from far off, knowing that must've been Minzuri.. Or her attacker. Ultimately, she did not plan on leaving her friend behind. Deciding to take a chance, she spoke. "Shiro-san! Oni-san! We can't leave her behind!" She turned to Shiro. "Call me weak, call me whatever you want, but Minzuri is my friend! I don't care if you kill me, but do it after I save her. I can go get her; and take her to safety. I can get her out of there."

[itachuchiha]

as the black flames rain for the heavens building begin to turn to ash as the black flames minari still watching over minzuri with a dark grin on his face. "is it getting hot out there, i see your flesh meltign from the bone like cheese on my nacho chips when i get home after this" minari takes a cookie from his back pocket and leands back to relax and watch minzuri's body turn to ash.

sasimaru poofs next to zaneku again, "lord zaneku are we going to let the village burn ot the ground?"

Zaneku grinned, "we will do what we need to, to get rid of my brothers mistake of a child" zaneku then sense minzuri was still in the earth realm and not protected in the dark realm like onikaru and the others. "i see the mistake has left the weak to die well lets to and watch the weak ones fate" zaneku and sasimaru appear next to minari watching minzuri as the flames reach the top of the trees behind her turning them to ash

[Moongem]

A shadow cast by his hair covered Onikaru's eyes as he looked down. Shiro was right, going after Minzuri was definitely something 'father' would do, despite the fire, and he refused to be similar to HIM. Onikaru quickly looked up at Shiro, a deep hate in his eyes. His mind raced, he didn't want to abandon Minzuri, he thought of excuses that would justify a rescue attempt without comparing him to HIM. It struck him,

"Shiro. You'll stay here. Ryuu and myself will leave and go get Minzuri." Onikaru stated bluntly. Shiro opened his mouth to object, but Onikaru was quicker, "She's still useful, only a fool would let a Uzumaki die in vain when they're on their side". Hate was Onikaru's strength, and Shiro had aroused it and it had given him power, "Try to stop us." He glared at Shiro with glowing crimson eyes.

"Ready?" He looks at Ryuu.

[Rinko]

Ryuu stood firm, and was glaring at Shiro, not with hate or anger, but with determination. Her hand was gripped firmly on the hilt of her chained blade as she listened to the two go back and forth. Even if Oni-san wouldn't let her go, she'd find some way to help. A small smile of relief spread over her face when Onikaru turned her her and asked if she was ready. She nodded fiercely, and cracked her whip, which sparked to life with crackles and sparks of lightening chakra. She was born ready. "Yes!"

[Moongem]

((Goin before Itach because, at this point, all he could do is wait))

Onikaru looked at Ryuu with a look of agreement and acceptance as she spoke and before he nodded his head. A door opened in the dark realm and Onikaru moved the two of them out of the dark realm and leaving Shiro in it. He looked back at Shiro's transparent image, "Are you sure your not gonna come with us?" Shiro answered by looking away. Onikaru shook his head and turned away, towards Ryuu. Onikaru's eyes glowed red, absorbing any of the flames before they could touch either Ryuu or himself. "Stay close to me..." He instructed.

Minzuri stumbled under a tree, temporarily shielding her from the falling flames. She was unaware that Zaneku's group had been watching over her. She unclasped her hands as she had earlier activated the dark rain jutsu. She breathed heavily as her back ached from her previous encounter with Sasimaru and, unknown to her, the hair on the back of her head, in all entirety, was covered and matted in blood. She leaned against the tree and then slid down the tree and hugged her knees. She sat, slowly repeating, "Karu-kun... Ryuu-chan..."

[Rinko]

Ryuu looked at Onikaru, her eyes wide. She moved closer to him, making sure not to make contact with him for some unknown reason. She didn't want to touch him. she was getting erally strange vibes from him. She gripped the handle of her chained blade, ready to go save Minzuri. Ryuu could almost feel her friend suffer. She hated it. "Lets go, Onikaru-san.."

[Moongem]

Onikaru began towards the tree of the woods that were now ablaze, he made sure not to make contact with the tree's as they had been caught on fire by Amaterasu. His feet padded in the forests soft, lush grassy surface. He looked back at Ryuu, "Is everythin all right? You seem-" He wouldn't have time to finish the question as they soon came upon Minzrui. She was battered. Her coat was ripped, her hair was matted with blood. Her face swollen and her posture made it seem like her may have been broken. Onikaru knelled, "Minzuri!" She was unconscious.

[Rinko]

Ryuu looked back at him, her eyes wide with fear. She was glad he didn't finish his question, but her heart sunk like a stone when she saw what he was looking at. "M-Minzuri!" Ryuu ran for her, and collapsed at her side. "Minzuri!!" Ryuu buried her face in her bloodied shoulder, shaking Minzuri lightly with her other arm. Never had Ryuu shed a tear for anyone else, and with pain in her eyes, she lifted Minzuri. She refused to show her face to Onikaru, so she let her head hang with her hair in her face. "Let's.. let's go.."

[itachuchiha]

a crimson sword appeared at the back of ryuu's head close enough to cut a bald spot on the back of her head. a pair of swords crossed over the back of onkaru's shoulders in a x aimed at his neck. as sasimaru appeared the ground around onikaru and ryuu surprisingly grabbed at both there feet. a dark voice slowly echoed in both onikaru and ryuu's ears. "welcome back you took longer then i expected i almost feel asleep, so what shall we do to you and your little friends onikaru-baka. should i stab my sword clean through your little girl friends head ,or maybe have her watch as minari decapitates you. oh and to make sure you little friend shiro doesn't interfere i set up a dark realm barrier around us so if he tries to enter this area or you try to leave it will suck your soul clean from you in a sense and render you helpless."

minari snickered, "i would love to cut the head off of this corpse and make it back to the cave in time for cookies and milk. we did get more mild right sasimaru..."

sasimaru sighed, "yes minari i does believe we have a applicable amount milk."

minari giggle like a little school girl, "YAY TO LOVES MY COOKIES AND MILK ALMOST AS MUCH AS I LOVE MY FUDGE... AND IM A PUDDLE THAT LOVES HIS CHOCOLATE FUDGE!!!"


zaneku glared at onikaru almost piercing through him with his eyes, "onikaru this is the end what are your final words."

[Moongem]

Onikaru's lips curled into a evil grin as Zaneku spoke of his final words. He snickered slightly, that snicker transformed into a laugh as he looked as his uncle. He remembered his father in his childhood. He remembered Mazuku speaking of how much Onikaru reminded him of his 'Onii-kun'. Onikaru laughed at this because it was absolutely right. He stopped the laughter and stared at Zaneku, "We got along SOOO good uncle Zaneku when I was little and now you want to kill me... I finally figured out why... were the same in almost every way!" He smiled at Zaneku.

[Rinko]

Ryuu clutched Minzuri tightly as she felt something cold against the back of her head. "Oh, this isn't good.." she thought. She stared wide-eyed at Onikaru. Had he lost his mind?! All she could do was stare at him, considering she was facing his direction. Her tears for Minzuri had dried, and her fearful grey eyes stared right ahead, hoping he wasn't picking up on any of this. A sword at your neck wasn't the best feeling in the world, especially when you're trying to help out a friend who's out cold. Ryuu dared not to speak.

[itachuchiha]

zaneku showed no emotion as he looked at onikaru with a emotionless expression

"when you were younger onikaru it is true i saw my self in you but as time progressed you lost any sense of loyalty and feelings for you own family. you have tainted the uchiha name with your rash chooses and have fallen of the right path to a path of no return. to say we are the same is true in some sense when i was younger i did leave my clan and discard them and i fell of the face of the world. but i returned and faced my judgment just as you are now. the only difference is your judgment is in my hands and i have never been know to make choices that will better the world i have just made choices that removed thorns from my side. your team does not have to die i only wish for you to fall to ultimately your death as i did the first time i saved you from the grip of the burning clouds assholes. i will remove my sword from your team members skull and allow her and minzuri to leave no more harm shall come to them. but in return you stay in the barrier and face your final judgment."

zaneku lifts his sword from her head and stabs it in the ground next to his feet the ground under ryuu returns to normal.

Zaneku looked down at ryuu, "child take minzuri and get out of here this fight is not yours."

minari still waiting behind onikaru still holding his swords in the position to decapitate onikaru, as minari's eyes got wide,

"ZANEKU YOUR GOING TO LET HER GO... AFTER ALL THE TROUBLE SHE HAS CAUSED AND YOUR LETING HER TAKE THE Bitch WITH HER... WHY!!!!!"

zaneku looked at minari still showing no emotion,

"yes minari she does not deserve to parish because of my nephews stupidity and that is the final say do not argue my judjment."

minari grunted looking back down at onikaru in read position


zaneku looked back up at onikaru, "tell your friends to leave or they will parish with you."

[Moongem]

Onikaru grinned an insane grin, the fact of any sanity being their was gone. On the inside, he was frowning. He remembered the past, times from his childhood flashed through his mind, his father; his uncle. He looked up at Ryuu and Minzuri; the most unmistakable trait of his father appearing on his face-- eyes determined to save his friends. His lips parted and he spoke to them, "Ryuu... take Minzuri to the Hidden Mist village. There you will meet Shiro. He is in charge of New Dawn now." He closed his eyes and gave a huge grin, at the two girl's Minzuri's eye's slightly opened as the face of the fourth Onikage was shown on his son.

Minzuri was mostly still unconscious but she registered what was happening. Her eye's began to water as he smiled at them; a smile none of his team had seen since their Burning Akatsuki employment. She felt that Ryuu wouldn't want to leave Onikaru here, but Minzuri would never disobey Karu-kun. She pulled lightly on Ryuu, trying to pull her away from Zaneku and his group.

Onikaru smiled at the two girls, "Leave Ryuu. That is an order from the leader of New Dawn, by whom your currently employed." He said

[Rinko]

Ryuu's heart was sinking. Was Onikaru really going to die here?... She looked down at Minzuri, who was barely awake. She could see tears. Tears for us? Ryuu was moved. She, too, wanted to cry. She had to obey Onikaru.. She cluctched Minzuri securely and said, "Oni-san.. Please.. be careful." She tried to return his smile, but couldn't because of being on the verge of tears. She shut her eyes tightly, and painfully turned away. She began to run towards Hidden Mist. Her eyes were open now, brows furrowed, tears spilling uselessly down her cheeks. So much had happened-- what was going to happen now? She looked down at Minzuri. "Are you okay?"

[itachuchiha]

it was as if time stood still once ryuu and minzuri had left zaneku lifted his sword and walked in front of onikaru still showing no emotions.

"it is at this moment were if it was any one else i would save your life and not let anymore harm come to you. but you are no longer my nephew and no longer hold a places in my heart. you are worthless in every aspect of living to me and killing you will only set my soul at easy but my hatred shall fallow you to the deepest parts of hell were im sure i will see you someday and i will finally get my true revenge and wipe you from the world and the after life completely so that you are only a memory."

zaneku pointed his sword directly at oniakru's heart

zaneku looked into onikaru's eyes one last time befor bowing his head.

"im ashamed i ever called you my nephew, to know that you were my nephew scared my name for life and i want to vomit every time i hear that i once loved you as my own flesh and blood"

a swift sound echoed and broke the silence as the crimson red sword plunged towards onikaru's heart with great force. at the same time minari cut simultaneously at onikaru's neck in a x shape. and sasimaru readied the ground to sink once onikarus head hit the ground.

[Moongem]

The last seconds after a head is severed from the body, the brain can still work. Onikaru's lips parted as blood flowed down his lips and chin and down his neck. He smiled at his uncle, in this moment, completely free of Katsmaru's influence, "Tell dad... not to blame himself. And that his son is sorry."

The head of the Oni prince plummeted to the ground, leaving the charred shoulder's of the boy's body. A hissing sound resulting from the loss of Katsmaru's influence over the boy. His body fell to it's knee as the head hit the ground. Soon after, his body fell to the ground and sunk into the ground.

Shiro tapped his foot as the dark realm jutsu around him released him and he became one with the actual world. "So... that was the extent." He turned around, "To the Mist village then."

[Rinko]

Ryuu now slowed to a walk, remembering as a human, she had limits. She was breathing hard, but refused to put Minzuri down, afraid to risk her further injury. She sighed, feeling Onikaru's existance fade. She shut her eyes tightly, and stopped walking. She let her head hang there above minzuri, not able to stop her tears from landing on her. Ryuu was glad to have made such friends, but one was now dead, one was in her arms in grave condition, and the other hated everyone else. Taking in a deep breath, she kept walking.

[itachuchiha]

a emotionless Zaneku stood over the mound of dirt in which he believed onikaru rested a smile crossed his face as the black flames stopped and the sky cleared. zaneku sheathed his crimson red sword as he began to laugh. "well minari we finally did it we destroyed the remaining half of the demon snake now onikaru can rest in peace."

minari snickered, " you did go a bit far zaneku, i mean was it really necessary to put on the whole asshole act. i mean the rest of his group was a bit ... for lack of a better term weak beyond compare."

zaneku giggled, " i did go a bit over board on the rest of his group but they are so damn hard headed it seamed just. how about you sasimaru hows those gapping hold feeling?"

sasimaru smiled, " i didn't even relized i was damaged till you said something. thanks for bringing it up now i have to have kira fix me up when we go home."

zaneku smiled as a voice rang in his ear..... " zaneku i have found the remains of tenchu and he shall be bright as rain before to long."

zaneku replied. "well thank you my lovely now we shall head to see an even older friend of mine till tenchu is brought back from the dead."

minari scratched his head, " do you mean that siver haired old man kuro if so count my out he gives me the creeps and last tiem he was around he ate all my damn chocolate chip cookies speeking of which i bet you little "daughters" back at the cave are finding my stash now ill meet you at the cave when you return zaneku." minair melted into the ground

zaneku giggled. " now to find my little one." zaneku looked around trying to find a giant saber tooth tiger "oh doku or ochiro time to come out of hiding the fighting is over its time to go"

sasimaru vanished away as all that was left was a crater where he stood.

zaneku waited till his little one appeared.

[Rinko]

Doku had since receded into Ochiro, and she had done a fair amount of wandering, looking for something to eat. She was still in forested area, and she heard some rustling in the bushes. She grinned a crazy, toothy grin, and right as she was about to pounce, she could hear Sensei summoning her from a distance. she shrugged. First, she would find something to eat. She dove into the bush, and a small rabbit took off running. It was too slow, however. She leapt on it, and sank her teeth into its fragile neck. She bit down until she heard a snap, and took the rabbit out of her hands. She held it by the feet as it shuddered, taking its last breath. she grinned, blood dripping down her face. She loved the sensation of warm blood cooling on her skin. She put the rabbit in her mouth again, and took off on all fours in Zaneku's direction.

[itachuchiha]

zaneku stood waiting for his little one as he heard little feet and hands running his way he turned as he saw ochiro running right at him. zaneku dropped his sword and opened his arms ready to hug his little one and then head off to moon village to his his once teacher/ master.

[Rinko]

Ochiro dropped the rabbit, as her Sensei came into sight. She lept into his arms. "Sensei! I got you a rabbit!" She climbed off of him, and picked up the poor creature. She stood on her feet this time, and walked beside her Sensei. She gripped the rabbit with both hands, and took a bite out of its belly, entrails spilling out of the creature. She walked beside Zaneku, headed for the moon village.
