Mazuku's eyes widened as he say the burst of chakra from an activated jutsu from Reizo's direction. "Riku's-" His body disappeared and landed back where he had been standing when he had preached to them. He looked up at where he had been, where a long, thin blood pillar stuck from the ground, if Mazuku hadn't moved, it would have pierced his chest. He looked down, seeing a line of chakra move towards him under ground and ran forward, another blood spike shooting up from the ground where he had been standing. Reizo was definitely Riku's kid. He had complete and precise control over the the pillars. With every step that Mazuku took another blood pillar would raise behind him, if not for the Sharakugan, he'd be dead.
Reizo ran towards Karasu as his blood clone remained crouched a finger in the ice, controlling the jutsu. He had moved quickly, quick enough that he had reach Karasu in seconds, "Hey! You okay Kara-Kara?" He said quickly, watching Mazuku dodge the pillars.

Karasu lie there, her eyes wide open. So much powerful chakra had coursed through her body that she was in a temporary state of shock. she vaguely heard Reizo approach, and even at her side he sounded like he was a ways away. She blinked once, and came out of her shock. She pushed herself up with her arms, and stood. Her hands were burned from where the contact was made. She stared at them and cursed. "Not again.." she shook it off, and looked at Reizo with her lavender-colored eyes. "We need to take him on all at once.."

Reizo nodded at his partner, "Your right." He began, "Right now he has to focus on the blood pillar jutsu... if he let's up for even a second I'll pierce him. Now is the only chance to attack him without him escaping using his 'Flying Demon King' Jutsu." He explained. He looked at Mazuku, his movements were flawless, he seemed worthy of his title now. He looked back at his partner, "But it's hard..." he breathed, "It's hard to control my clone and use that Jutsu. I'll have to back you up after you attack him..." He said, as they devised a plan.

Karasu nodded. "Understood." She disappeared behind a flash of sickly purple chakra/smoke, and reappeared behind Mazuku. She ran directly at him, and as she was a sort distance away, she flung her arms, and out of each sleeve flew ten exploding ravens. She continued to dash towards him, well-hidden by her barrage of large birds.

Mazuku scoffed, the kids were using there head. He guessed Reizo devised this, after all Reizo had more experience on how he fought. He inhaled deeply, feeling the chakra in his body flow fast as he unlocked a chakra limiter, a chakra gate, His body began to move faster, his feet were moving faster then the pillars. However, doing this gave him less control of his body, making turning difficult. Making avoiding the birds difficult. He looked back and acted. He turned around and lounged backwards, the spikes slowed as he lifted, staying under him, resulting in two birds hitting them and exploding. the other eight followed him up. He looked at them and thought about how to deal with them and the spikes below as he felt his body begin to drop. He looked down at the ice and smiled, "Ice..."
He crafted the tiger hand sign with his hands and inhaled deeply, "Fire Style! Fire Ball Jutsu!" He said, his voice seeming to echo. He shot his head down and exhaled, releasing the blaze at the glacier below. The fire hit the large island of ice and a hissing sound followed by a large cloud of steam took place. Mazuku plunged down into the steam, Reizo couldn't see inside, so, the pillars couldn't follow. His head looked up and he saw the chakra signature of the birds, surprisingly close. He had miscalculated. One bird exploded, Mazuku had lifted his arm to block himself, but the explosion had knocked him back. He scoffed as he skid back, he felt his left arm had been burned and was bleeding, the birds were not to be trifled with. He blinked as he felt water hit his cheek, his eyes widened and he looked down, the water had blown up the explosion! He used his Chidori Nagashi technique, a much smaller one, once again. The aerial water being shocked and creating an effective barrier.

The explosion from the bird that had made contact with Mazuku's arm had blown away the steam that the fire had created and he was now visible. He peered over the ice and stood straight, looking at the two who opposed him. He couldn't help but throw them a confident grin as he rose his injured arm and waved the injury at them, as if showing the burnt and bloodied arm off at them.
"See? Team Work." He lowered his arm and shrugged his shoulders, "You managed to land an attack on the Onikage. You should be proud." The smile that his lips had twisted into faltered, only for a moment and quickly returned to him, "I suppose you two still want to kill or capture me? Give it your best shot." He bent his knee's a bit, preparing himself for the duo's next barrage of attacks.

As soon as he spoke, she stopped running. She held her hands out in front of her, and glanced back at Reizo. Mazuku was right, they did land an attack. She sighed a little, knowing this would be a great challenge to bring this man down. She leapt backwards until she was at Reizo's side. Her hands were still out in front of her. Above, Kurai was circling the fight, watching. Surely, Reizo and Karasu had grown closer... they were getting along now, at least for the moment.

Reizo turned his head, looking at his partner as she skidded to a stop beside him, "Pretty cocky, isn't he?" He said, quite cockily himself. His arrogant smile faded and he looked towards his step-father. He examined him and lightly chewed on his bottom lip in thought, how could the two of them possibly defeat this man? His Sharakugan gave him zero blind spots, his Hionishin jutsu gave him an amazing countering ability along with dodging. He almost wanted to say that it was unfair, but seeing as their was two of them and one of him... he felt his teeth dig into his lip and his mouth slowly fill with thick blood. He scoffed and spat, staining the white snow crimson and then looking at his partner.
"More of what we just did..." That was all he said before continuing, "We need to keep him moving and then attack him from all sides..."
Mazuku smiled, how nice... they were planning something. Unfortunately for the two of them... he knew that they were snared in his jutsu. He could trail this along as much as he wanted, until both of them were exhausted. He bent his knees, he had a plan, he was going to push these kids to their limits- beyond their limits. His eyes shut and he thought of the small area between them and then a few feet in front of them. He inhaled deeply, it was his turn to go on the offensive. When he opened his eyes, his body had vanished in a snap of purple chakra, he had appeared balancing himself on his hands before them. He shot his feet back, each foot directed towards both of their stomachs.
How would they react?

"You got it.." Karasu said softly. She glances at Reizo, her lavender eyes cold and intense. When she looked at where Mazuku was standing, he was gone! She hopped into a defensive stance, and cursed under her breath. Where could he be?! Her eyes widened the second he appeared. She swung her arm forward, firing 5 exploding ravens. His foot impacted her stomach, and she reached out, hoping to secure him for even a moment.

Reizo felt the foot sink into his stomach and grunted as he two reached forward, also grabbing onto Mazuku's leg. His arms wrapped around Mazuku's long leg and held it tightly, though it didn't seem that the man was struggling. He shut his eyes and concentrated, molding his chakra without hand signs and channeling it into the ice beneath his feet. The ice creaked and cracked and a blood pillar shot up under Mazuku, sending a spike to impale his chest.
Mazuku smiled, they had took the kicks and used that opportunity to secure his legs. Very good. He chuckled at the idea of giving people who were trying to kill him was amusing. It was a good reaction, grabbing his feet like that-- It was a great reaction to grab him and then sen a blood pillar upward. He inhaled sharply and disappeared, leaving the blood pillar impaling nothing. He appeared behind them, his palms shoot forward, towards both of their backs.

Karasu growled as he disappeared, her hands hitting each other after gripping his leg. Nothing was no longer there. She took the full impact of his palm in the center of her back, sending her forward for a couple of feet on her face and chest. She groaned and got up quickly.

Mazuku moved his hands on to waist, showing his confidence in this situation. His head tilted and his hair moved accordingly. His eyes didn't leave them as they fell to the ground, they were out matched.
"Are the two of you done?-- You can't win." He asked nonchalantly, as if this was a casual meeting between the three of them. He chuckled a bit.
Reizo stood roughly, his body jerking up as he did. He stared at Mazuku with malice filled eyes. He ground his teeth as Mazuku taunted them. He jerked his fist a bit, directing his anger into his fist and into the air.
Steam rose from the cold sea around the large glacier in which the three of them fought. A third member of the Hakumei Seidei had arrived, Reizo and Karasu's commander had arrived. He walked up the glacier and stared at the two of his protege and then the purple haired man across from them. "It looks... like I should lend you two a hand..." Kaseo said calmly as he moved beside them

Karasu leaped to join her partner. She, too, was glaring down Mazuku. She saw Reizo's hate filled reactions, and firmly placed her hand on his shoulder. "Don't let him get the best of yo--" she was cut off because she noticed the steam. It was Kaseo! She took her hand off of Reizo and bowed, acknowledging her leader.
When Karasu put her hand on Reizo, Kurai flinched. "Whaaaat?!" He said to himself, "She willingly touched him??" He sighed to himself, and landed nearby. Flying was starting to wear him out. He then landed on Karasu's shoulder.

Reizo almost flinched when his partner touched his shoulder, but he shook his head and quickly regained his composure. He stared at Mazuku, not noticing the steam until Kara pointed out Kaseo himself. His head jerked to the side and his eyes rested on the man. It was really him... he was here to help them. His pride told him to tell the man off and say, 'they didn't need his help' but Reizo was smarter then that. He looked at Mazuku and gritted his teeth.
Kaseo followed there gaze onto Mazuku and then spoke to the two, mostly Karasu, who didn't seem completely over taken by rage yet, as Reizo did... which was expected. "Yamochi..." He said slowly as he looked around, "I'm here to offer my assistance. Let's see if this monster can handle the three of us..." His head turned towards his subordinates and he looked at them for a moment, as if thinking about his next words, "You two did good. You held off a Kage level monster..." He acknowledged them.

Karasu nodded. She glanced at Mazuku again, her lavendar eyes bright, but as cold as the ice under her feet. She titled her head towards Kurai to show him affection. He reacted be rubbing his head against hers. "This beast will die," she said icily. She regained herself and took an offensive stance, with her arm out, the one covered in scars.

Kaseo acted first against the Onikage, who was still wearing his confident smile. Reizo grinned at his partner and then looked at his partner, "Get ready, Kara. Kaseo's never failed a mission without at least heavily injuring the target... we might have a chance." Kaseo suddenly exploded, blue flames covering his body and the ice underneath melting almost instantly. He reached the Onikage and spun around his elbow being directed towards the man's chest. Mazuku flinched, he had felt the temperature rise before the new guy was even close to him, when he was about to be elbowed, he had a very familiar feeling... this was like Amaterasu...
He leaped back, avoiding the elbow but not the heat. He looked down, this man was dangerous; he wasn't a rookie like the other two... and he seemed to have a nasty kekkei genkai to boot. Kaseo stared at Mazuku for a moment before standing straight and extending his arm at the Onikage and showing him his palm "Secret Technique: Azure Bullet."
It happened almost instantly. The explosion of blue fire that expanded from his palm. The area where Mazuku had been standing was decimated almost instantly, leaving the entire glacier behind were he had been melted. The large glacier had now been about cut in half. Mazuku stood behind Reizo and Karasu, a now serious expression on his face. Although he was close to Reizo and the bird girl, he looked at Kaseo.

Karasu nodded at Reizo. "Let's hope injuring him badly is that least that happens.." She watched Kaseo melt the ice, and Mazuku's reaction. "This man," she thought, "is going to be difficult to take down.." Her glance shifted to Reizo, then to where Mazuku landed. She closed her eyes and focused her Chakra. This needed to be done quickly. She disappeared beneath a cloak of black feathers, and appeared behind Mazuku's right shoulder. She drew her katana and swung it at an angle towards his neck.

Reizo acted alongside his partners. He turned on his heel and lunged at Mazuku, his hand covered in a dripping bloodied spike. He launched his hand forward, Mazuku's chest the obvious target. The blood from the spike moved off of it, creating smaller blades that were directed at various locations among Mazuku's body.
Mazuku's eyes widened as he saw them both attacking him. Reizo was playing on Mazuku kindness and fondness of the young... he had intentionally attacked Mazuku from the front were as if he dodged, his bloodied needles and spike would be directed at Reizo's partner. His eye shut and he inhaled, it would be a close one... he wouldn't come out unscratched. A few needles lost themselves in Mazuku's lower chest, he felt the warm blood move down his chest and he clenched his fists before disappearing in a flash of purple. He hadn't moved far, directly under Reizo. He slide under the boys and tugged on his legs, tripping him and moving the girl from his attack radius. He let out a sigh of relief and looked forward, the flame man hadn't moved, he was simply staring at him and the two children. How strange.

Karasu grunted as she hit the ground, narrowly avoiding Reizo's attack. She was frustrated. Why had the man they were trying to KILL save her from her own partner's attack? She shook her head, and held out her arm where she was, not even bothering to get up. she beckoned to Kurai. It was time for him to come in as well. She glanced at Mazuku. Blood. good..
Kurai landed on the forearm of Karasu, and took a bit of her Chakra through his feet. As soon as he took the amount needed, he jumped off of her arm, and took to the sky, directly above Mazuku. Kurai was now a homing missile. He began to twirl in the air like a drill, and spiraled for Mazuku.

Reizo watched as the bird launched itself towards Mazuku. Reizo's eyes thinned and he dashed towards Mazuku. His hand once again became covered in blood and became a spike and he lowered his body close to the ground. Once he began moving as fast as possible, he shot his arm forward, knowing that Mazuku couldn't dodge both him and feathers for very long.
Mazuku could see the birds chakra as it soared down towards him. He closed his eyes, able to hear Reizo's feet on the ice and track his movement that way. He placed his hands together and circulated his chakra slowly, and then faster, and faster. He looked up at the bird and smiled as he suddenly vanished. Reappearing right behind the bird a moment before the two would have collided with him. He glared down at them, he worried about Reizo but knew it wouldn't kill him. He looked at the bird, curious if this would hurt it to much... it disturbed him the thought of killing something so he moved his hands apart and landed on the ice promptly and hopped backward turning and unleashing his Jutsu towards the girl.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" He said as he shapped his fingers in a circular position around his mouth and exhaled suddenly, expelling a sudden blaze from his mouth. The blaze danced towards her, not just hot flames, but bright.

Kurai squawked a loud warning to Reizo, knowing he wasn't going to be able to stop in time. Kurai stopped spinning, and braced himself for impact with either Reizo or the ground.
Karasu didn't notice the blaze in time-- she was watching Kurai with admiration and concern. She stood up, and yelled, "Reizo!! MOVE!!" She saw a brightness in the corner of her eye, and turned to see the fire in time to narrowly avoid most of the attack. Her left arm, the one previously burned, ignited with pain. She held it, and screeched. The flames danced up her arm, to her shoulder. It singed her skin again, and she lunged into the snow, in a mad attempt to put it out. the already damaged tissue from Onikaru's flames throbbed with nearly overwhelming pain.

The Onikage could see his childs chakra linger on her arm and he stood straight. Had Onikaru been fighting these guys unhinged? He shook his head of the though and reached into his equipment pouch that was located on his hip. He pulled out a container and hurled it towards the snow where the bird girl had landed. The container landed beside her right as he had planned. Inside was a Uchiha style burn ointment, it would sooth almost any burn so that the victim would endure as little pain as needed while it recovered. Mazuku's reaction time was displayed once again; he vanished appeared in front of Reizo and pushed, his palms crashing against Reizo's chest and launching him back. He vanished again and moved his arms forward, beginning to wrap them around the creature to shield it from colliding with the hard ice below.

Kurai had closed his eyes tightly; he knew this was the end. The ice was seconds away. Suddenly, he felt arms close around him. Who was it? The smell wasn't Reizo or Karasu's. Was it the demon they were fighting? He opened his eyes. Sure enough.. He expanded his chakra into the man's ears. "Why are you doing this?" Kurai said in a young, male voice. "You've saved all three of us from various attacks, when clearly the goal here is for you to die. You know that, don't you?"
Karasu heard something land beside her, and skid in the snow. She looked over. Burn ointment? She scoffed. Why would the enemy help?.. She shook her head, trying to ignore the fact that he helped them. She didn't trust the container, but nonetheless swiped it from the snow and put it in her pocket. She looked up and saw Kurai hurtling towards the ground. She opened her mouth to shout, but before she could, she saw the demon take Kurai into his arms. She stood with her mouth open for a moment. She looked at Reizo on the floor, and rushed to him. Mentally, she was scared for Kurai. She didn't know what would happen.

Mazuku remembered his own summon partner and smiled as he landed on the ice, cradling the bird in his arms and close to his chest. He smiled as he heard the creatures voice in his head and he extended his own chakra with a type of mastery and answered the bird, speaking into its head. "True, your mission may be to kill me..." He bent down and placed the bird gently on the ground and stood straight, "I am under no such binding... I will not be responsible for the death of two children and one of their animal partners." He looked to his, over his shoulder at the other two; the girl known as Karasu and Reizo.
Reizo sat up suddenly, holding his chest. He coughed and looked up, "What the hell is this bastard doing!? He's not even trying!" He worked his way to his feet and looked at Karasu.
Right after Mazuku had finished what he was saying to the bird, he felt that intense warmth again and shot his foot forward, towards the bird, trying to knock it away from him as Kaseo appeared before him. Kaseo shot his hand forward and twisted his fist into Mazuku's chest. Mazuku, in an attempt to move the bird so it didn't get fried, wasn't able to dodge and the burning blue fist sunk into his chest and he was shot backwards, off his feet and in a spinning motion.

Kurai replied to Mazuku and said, "I understand. If only our meeting was under a different--" Kurai was cut off because he too felt the heat. He saw Mazuku's foot reach forward, but Kurai avoided it. Just as he took to the air, he saw Mazuku behind him, with a flaming fist in his chest. "Why are we doing this?" he thought to himself. He flew, and landed not far from everyone. He needed to think.
Karasu returned his gaze, and said. "I don't get it, Reizo. What the hell is he doing? Did you see what he did for Kurai? What is he thinking? We're trying to kill him!" She looked at the fight, and saw the blue flames. Her burned arm lay limp at her side, throbbing and bloodied while her good hand was in her pocket, absent-mindedly turning the ointment about in her palm.

Mazuku his the ground and rolled along the ice and skidded towards the edge of the glacier. He skidded off the edge and towards the icy sea below. Luckily, he had been able to catch a glance above Kaseo before he had hurled him in the opposite direction. He inhaled and disappeared showing himself again above Kaseo. His foot fell downwards and Kaseo was able to barely dodge, when Kaseo landed he sprinted in the other direction, as if he needed to charge after each attack.
Once Kaseo was out of range Mazuku fell to one knee, holding the area on his chest where he had been hit and breathed heavily until his lunges caught up with him. Afterwards, he straightened his knees and looked at Kaseo, who was now once again out of sight. He turned towards the other two and waited.
Reizo looked at her with a angry expression, "He's too kind for his own good!" He said, obviously enraged that Kaseo had been able to lay a damaging hit on the man when the two of them had barely been able to touch him. Period. He looked at her, "Don't let it get to you... That kindness caused him to get hurt... it'll be his death." He said.

Karasu merely stared ahead at Mazuku and Kaseo. "Too kind for his own good," she thought to herself. She looked at her charred arm. Any more of this, and she'd end up with one arm, just like Reizo. She held it up, and tried to flex it. The only result was the tips of her fingers barely curling inward, followed by a sharp sting of pain that danced up her arm. She cringed, and let it hang limply. "I'm going to sit out and see how strong this Kaseo really is. If he can't take down this demon, I'm going to train night and day, I swear."
Kurai breathed a sigh of relief that Karasu decided to sit out for a while. He wasn't sure if she did it because she didn't want to fight the demon because of his kindness, or because her arm was severely damaged. He joined her at once, landing on her shoulder. He examined her lavender eyes. Her mind was working.

He watched as the girl's chakra left a battle phase and went stationary. He coughed and then fell to one knee again, relieved the number of enemies had seemingly dropped by one... at least for the moment. He looked at Reizo, whishing that he'd drop out as well... he didn't want to fight his step-son... He stood up again and took his hand off of his injury and looked up in the direction Kaseo had left to and sighed... gone again. Mazuku had a deep curiosity if Rinko was still nearby, or if she had gone to retreat back to camp... He shook his head of the thought before he'd allow himself to think Kaseo had found her.
Reizo looked at his partner with skeptical eyes and then scoffed, "Okay... it's only me and Mr. Blue then..." He threw his arm out and a blood blade once again covered it and he dashed forward. He knew doing the same thing again wouldn't help him... but he had an idea.

Karasu sat down, taking care to not jostle her arm. "Don't get killed out there," she said before he took off. She followed Reizo with her eyes, wondering how much longer he could hold out. "I swear, if we can't kill ONE Jinchuriki.." she mumbled to herself. They're just took weak, or not quite in tune yet as a group. She leaned back on her good arm, already thinking of a training regimen to follow. In her good hand, she clutched the ointment.
Kurai nuzzled Karasu's face with the side of his head, and she reacted by doing the same. Kurai chose to remain silent for now, and watch the battle ahead.

Mazuku refused to draw his katanna against his step son and blocked the assault by grabbing the boy's arm, underneath where the blade was. He turned the boy's body by tugging on his arm and then threw his leg out, kicking Reizo across his chin. Reizo fell to the ground with a dizzy expression. He had never thought how out of control of his body he would be if someone grabbed one... his only one. He laid one the ice for a moment, dizzy and light headed from the kick he had received.
Mazuku's sense took over and he jumped and twisted himself backwards throwing his leg out once more as he felt Kaseo's chakra returning towards him. His foot stopped short and he fell, catching himself with one hand on the ice. He looked up and scoffed as he looked at Kaseo.
"You really are a fool, aren't you Onikage?" He smiled as he held the young blue haired girl by her wrists in front of him. Of course, the girl was Mazuku's companion, Rinko. Kaseo grinned, looking as if he had won, and with good reason. He knew Mazuku would rather die then endanger any of his companions, let alone a young one. Mazuku glared at him with a look that could kill, that is, if looks could kill. "You coward!" Mazuku spat as he worked his way to his feet.
