Clash of Swords [P: Raito; Nkill]

Haru Zye stood upon the smooth and tough stone surface of the statue on the outside of Konohagakure no Sato. This was no ordinary statue though; it stared across a large gaping waterfall which poured down into a massive river some hundred meters below, and on the other side of the waterfall was the other statue that the one he stood upon was facing. Each Statue extended from twenty five feet above the watery surface of the waterfall and extended down to the looming ground below hundreds of meters below just above the surface of clear water near the roaring growl of the waterfall impacting the start of the river. The statues themselves were a representation of the long and extensive history of the shinobi world, the one that he stood on was that of Madara Uchiha, a one powerful and proud shinobi of the famous and at times, infamous Uchiha clan. On the opposing side was the legendary shinobi, Hashirama Senju who Madara Uchiha had fought against which was rumored to be the battle that ripped the area apart and formed the entire scenery that he was present at, still standing on top of Madara Uchiha’s rock and stone type of structure. His spiky silver hair blew around in the light gust of air that swept over the area.

There was meaning for him being there at the time, he was there to spar against one of Konohagakure no Sato other swordsmen, Raito Yamaki a fellow kenjutsu user. He didn’t know much about Raito other than that he was a kenjutsu user and was a fellow Jounin of Konohagakure no Sato. That was enough knowledge for him to be willing to agree to take the man on in a simple spar to test the mettle of the blades together. Steel against steel, the quick and complex movements of using skill kenjutsu techniques, it was something that he longed for and desired to partake in. It would be a pleasant spar, or at he hoped that it would be that way, it was clear that many different fates of countless shinobi had changed in this area, here at the Valley of the End, the site of the clash of a Hokage versus a Uchiha clan member. His right hand reached backwards and brought a simple grip to the hilt of his blade, Decaforce, The Ten Commandments, giving a quick and simple pull at the blade, he unleashed it from its simple sheath. A light sound of a cling was heard as the blade softly hit the ground of the statue’s surface, the tip of the blade resting on the stone structure. His cool green eyes locked on the visage of the statue thirty feet away from, he awaited the sight of his new sparring partner, Raito. Perhaps at this end of this spar, the two would become friends and break the strange and fateful cycle of fighting that lead to broken bonds here at the Valley of the End, something that only time would decide.

(Current WC: 505)

Raito had been waiting to enter this spar for a while now, he had been standing on top of the head of Hashirama Senju, he wondered why the other Jounin never saw him but Raito saw him, this was weird in so many different ways. Raito then stood there and unsheathed his normal katana and was ready for anything that would come his way. "Yo are you Haru!!!" shouted Raito as he was just making sure that this man was Haru and not some wanna be kenjutsu user. Raito didn't want to release his Bijuu in this fight so he decided before the fight that he would just use Raven Style that allowed him to fly. This would be one clash where bonds don't break but come together, that was what Raito had been planning for. He let the blue like chakra envelope over his body and wings formed around him. This was his famous KKG that he would always use in battle no matter what the costs.

Raven Style:

He shifted the weight of his balance off to the right just ever so slightly, shifting just a couple inches to prevent himself from losing his balance completely, while the front of his body tilted forward only a couple inches to lean in the direction of Raito. He was hoping for some type of intense spar, after all this place, this “Valley of the End” was a host to incredible shows of power and strength, battles worthy of being told in the future as part of history. This needed to be a nearly historical type of battle in order to satisfy his urge to use his sword and train it to become stronger. It was his thirst for a challenge and his desire to protect his village and save lives that made him so eager to engage in such an intense type of spar. To make matters more interesting, he had yet to be challenged by another kenjutsu user, having laid claim to being the best Kenjutsu in all of Konohagakure no Sato. He let his deep green eyes lock their ocular visage upon the entire form of the male Raito Yamaki. “Yeah, I’m Haru. Sorry if I seem a little eager, but I haven’t had a real sword fight in a long time, so I’m ready to start this now.” He answered back to the male, trying to make it clear that although he was not holding back in this fight, he had no intention of going for the kill. He watched as Raito seemed to have a trick up his sleeve, a strange level of chakra emitting from the man’s body and wrapping around him almost in the same way that a Bijuu would have its chakra envelop a Jinchuuriki in its chakra. Wings seemed to burst from the back of the man and were made out of the same chakra that was covering the male, making him realize that this was going to extremely challenging just to get to the male; he would need to make sure to get to Raito before he had a chance to take to the air. Other than that fact, he noticed that Raito seemed to somewhat underestimate the situation at hand, seemingly using nothing but a normal katana, but he wasn’t sure if the katana had some type of special power.

Another cling sound would ring through the air and echo through the area in an ominous manner, this was the start what could possibly prove to be one of the best clash of blades that would be seen at the Valley of the End. Lifting the sword off into the air as it slashed along the surface of the stone structure erecting from the ground in the image of a statue in the form of Madara Uchiha, he reached the edge of the statue form just about to step into the rushing and wild currents of the water below that turned into a vicious and powerful waterfall. In a split second his sword gave off a nearly unnoticeable, in the bright sunlight from the intense sun above, glow and changed into an entirely new sword altogether. Different from the first form of Decaforce known as Eisenmeteor, this sword was much different, commonly nicknamed as the Sonic Sword, it had a blue colored handle area at the base of the sword, with the tip of the sword becoming more of a slant and gaining only one cutting edge than before. In one lethal jump into the air, his speed had increased immensely, being charged by the power of the sword itself, he seemed to almost give an instant flash towards Raito Yamaki.

Landing in front of the male, he quickly spun his body around his muscles tensing up and constricting to make the grip on his sword even tighter. It was only a half spin, rotating his body around from the right and over to the left, crossing his sword towards Raito’s upper body, beginning at the left shoulder area and with intention to cut across the surface of the skin. Due to his incredible speed bringing him within range of Raito, he was almost worried that he had gotten there too quickly and attack almost too quickly, there was a chance that this simple swing of his lethal blade could in fact bring death to the man, which was something he didn’t want but he felt that if this man really was a powerful Jounin then this attack was not going to be enough to take him down and probably wouldn’t even hit on the first try. His leg muscles tensed up as his brought his body around, the cold metal death object swinging at full force, with his body getting ready to quickly bounce backwards in order to avoid any type of counter that might happen.

Raito had seen the man come up to his face,He had quickly shifted to the right and put his katana in the way so that it might block it and was bounced away, He had fell of the top of the First Hokage's head and was falling at a very fast speed towards the ground which in many cases could be fatal, he then tapped into the seven tails chakra and floated towards the ground, after that he stopped using the chakra and looked at the man and Anime sweat dropped "That was way to close.." said Raito as he unsheathed his Ultima Sword in its first form which was dubbed the Ultima Blade by his parents and friends. He then began to think of the events that just happened here, right now. He had had the image of his katana breaking going through his head the whole time, maybe that would happen to his Ultima Blade, but he had faith in it and faith won't be changed at all that was the way of Raito Yamaki the one and only survivor with his cousin Asukari of the Yamaki clan so far, Raito then thought of the idea that would help forward the Ultima Blade's forms, He then climbed to the top of Madara Uchiha's head and stood there. He then ran to the edge and jumped he then activated the seve tails chakra so that he could fly to the other side and take the fight to Haru, he then reached the other side and ran towards the man at full speed, Raito's jacket blowing in the wind and the hair flowing into his eye's, Raito wanted this move to be as complicated as possible so he faked the first slash and then went in for the original. This cut was no ordinary cut, this cut would not scare the outside of a persons body and will only cut there insides and cause internal bleeding. If Haru gets cut then he would unleash his most favorite of jutsu and that was the Chidori, the chidori was one of the Jutsu where you preform the hand seals turn around and slam the person in the chest and shock the hell out of them. This was what Raito loved doing, if Haru dodges the attack he would then use Chidori Sharp Spear and still shock the living hell out of him in any case, the next part of his plan was to then either push him of the top or take him on a nice long journey that would please him, Raito more than Haru.

He got impressed with Raito’s quick thinking, making it apparent that the man was obviously a Jounin for a reason in the fact that he used a clever move in order to use the speed and force of Haru’s own attacking swing to prevent a damaging attack from happening. His cold steel caught a strike upon the steel of the katana and pushed Raito right off the top of the statue of the First Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato. At first he was somewhat worried that his attack even though it had not hit flesh and ripped into Raito, there was always a chance that throwing him off the side of the statue he could easily have killed him depending on what the man was going to do. He was in store for quite the surprise as he thought there was a chance that the chakra cloak that was once on the man Raito would end up making the fall be useless and not kill Raito. Even though the fall ended up not killing Raito, it was how he was able to prevent the fall from brining an untimely demise that threw Haru off and made him question what type of power the man actually had.

He watched closely as Raito seemed to have completely lost the enveloping cloak of chakra that had once wrapped around his body and even had provided him with wings. He began to question the skill of the technique that the man Raito Yamaki had just used previous in order to create wings and a chakra cloak, yet he seemed to just be passively flying without any visible type of chakra cloak or wings or anything. The air didn’t even seem to be blowing differently, this was a type of power he had never seen before or even heard of anywhere. Somewhat shocked, he still didn’t falter, if anything he was actually more motivated towards the fight and more interested in pushing the limits. With the fight proving to be interesting, he needed to make sure that he used his speed to its full benefit; he knew that if Raito could just unnaturally fly as if he was magically without reasonable cause. He wasn’t sure what other types of surprises that Raito was going to pull out and use against him, but he needed to be ready for anything to happen. He gripped the hilt of his sword more tightly and watched as Raito rushed at him, this was going to be easy to deal with, considering the clear difference in speed that was being made obvious as he moved back from the fake slash and quickly ripped his right arm into the air, flinging his wrist upward. This movement he made slapped Raito’s blade upward into the air and out of his way effectively stopping the actual slash attempt that was made. The clashing of steel against steel created a loud cling sound and gave a very small flash from the intense impact of the powerful blades impacting each other. It was rather clear that while his sword, Decaforce, the Ten Commandments blade, had legendary power, Raito the flying man, seemed to have his own special type of blade that was going to prove to be one of the first challenges of a sword against Decaforce. His curiosity increased, and he was about to ask about the sword until Raito continued the assault.

In a matter of seconds, Raito seemed to freely create a powerful concentration of lightning chakra that gave off the strange sound of what seemed like birds. Not even did it only sound like birds, it was the fact that it sounded as though the birds were chirping loudly in the air which was a type of sound he had never heard be created from something such as some type of lightning chakra attack. He felt as though the attack sounded familiar, like a type of technique that he had heard of in history books about an old legendary Uchiha shinobi from ages and generations in the past. Things stepped up instantly, with Raito seeming to extent out the lightning chakra into a long spear type of shape towards his body. Clearly this was going to be a little more than just some sword fight between the two of them, this was going to involve some powerful types of jutsu, but Haru didn’t have much need for using Jutsu, for now the time had come for him to test out Runesave.

Quickly he slashed his Decaforce blade at the lightning chakra that speared itself at his body, the Decaforce blade took on another quick and nearly instant change, becoming jagged along the sides and gaining a faint green color throughout the entire form of the blade. He knew that this was the exact type of situation to bring out this sword, a sword that in any other type of situation would probably be rendered useless against something, but in this case it was exactly what was needed. He quickly slashed into the lightning chakra, and at first contact the lightning chakra split down the middle as it traveled, the blade’s power slicing through the lightning and chakra itself, but it activated its main power in order to prevent the attack from making its way to Haru. Within seconds the sword gave a light blue glow from the lightning chakra as it seemed to suck in the power of the lightning chakra that was being sent at him, going as far too seeming seal the entire jutsu attack within the blade itself. Taking the lightning chakra all the way from where his blade had impacted the chakra and cut into and bringing the chakra from the center of the man, Raito Yamaki’s hand and into the blade itself. It happened in a flash, the blade had sealed away the entire form of the lightning chakra and remove the attack from existence entirely, there was no remaining lightning chakra after his blade gave off one final crackle of powerful lightning power before the lightning was no longer present or seen at all.

With that he held the blade, Decaforce, still in its Runesave, the sealing sword, form. He brought the visage of his green hued eyes to meet with the man Raito, looking at the man and acknowledging the fact at this was going to be quite the fight, he was too tempted to ask a certain question before they full continued to deal with this intense spar they were involved in. He nearly wanted to ask just how the man was able to just fly through the air like it was nothing and no actual evidence of a jutsu or chakra. He refrained from asking that question, as it seemed rather clear that someone would not just openly reveal some big trick that could be replicated into another person flying, so for now he had to ask the other question that mattered to him at this point. “What is the blade that you are using right now? Seems to be rather powerful and if I took a guess I’d say it might legendary like my own sword.” He questioned to the man about the sword, tilting his head to the side in reference to his own sword, Decaforce when he had finished his sentence. He would have attacked and continued the fight, but he was more interested in learning what kind of sword he was testing Decaforce against. Within the confines of his mind, the knowledge of Decaforce’s next form revealed itself to him. A small glow came from his crystal structured necklace and seemed to fully activate his knowledge of the next sword, Blue Crimson.

Raito looked at his blade and smirked. "This blade isn't legendary at all...It was given to me by my great grandfather before my clan was destroyed..My clan had awesome weapons and all the weapons I have are the last of these weapons.." said Raito as he unsheathed his other swords and put them in front of him. He just kept his Ultima Blade in his hand. He was wondering what would happen if he used the key blade to quickly screw with this mans face or something. He decided against it. He then continued, "This blades name is Ultima Sword..It has three forms..I am currently on the first form since I have never used this blade that much..." said Raito as he then sheathed all the swords and sealed them within a scroll. "Let the battle..Begin!!" shouted Raito as he ran towards the man while preforming hand seals. "Chidori!!!" shouted Raito as the attack looked like it would hit the mans torso and yet again shock the man or even worse cause mind scrambling. That was the worst the chidori could do at this moment until he learned to master all forms of the Chidori and then manipulate it to any form that he wants to. If the attack hit Raito would then look like he had passed through the man but would just scrape the man on his rib cage and end up behind him and would then unsheathe his Ultima Blade and use it on the man and try to just get something on the man since there was a huge speed difference between him and this man he would need to be ready for anything so there was going to be alot of dodging going on and Raito would have to cope and at least get a hit on the man. If the man dodged Raito would then cut his finger and summon his most trusted sidekick. It was his Panda Hiraki. He wondered if he could pull this off. the panda would then roll after the man and attack him using the rolling technique that seemed always to work. Raito was getting jump about this and felt that this battle would last for a long time, he wanted to at least get his blade to turn into its second level which it did. The blade then had and overdose of power as it shot Raito back and landed on the floor. Raito then looked at the blade it was now different in shape and color, the color of the metal was purple blue color on the inside and the normal silver on the outside of the blade the handle then made a V shape and the handle in the middle of the V which made it look like an M and then at two short metal poles on each end of the V. Raito picked it up and looked at Haru with eyes undimmed and looked like he was ready to fight anyone no matter how strong he/she was.

It was somewhat surprising to hear that the blade the man was using was not in fact legendary, but rather that it was simply a weapon that was passed down through his family. Regardless of the status of the blade, there was a clear understanding that the blade was in fact still a powerful blade and even though not exactly being defined by the man, Raito Yamaki as being legendary, that blade seemed to give off a vibe of being powerful. He could just feel as though that blade would become a true and worthy opponent for his own blade, the Decaforce, the Ten Commandments sword. Even more evidence of the sword being nearly on the same level as his own sword, Decaforce, was in the name of the blade that Raito Yamaki was using, the Ultima Sword, and the fact that like his own sword had different forms the blade that Raito was using had up to three different and distinct forms in which to use after gaining the access to the forms. What was sort of amazing to him was the amount of separate swords that the man, Raito Yamaki seemed to have in stock to use in case of needing to use any of the swords and none of the swords appeared to be ordinary nor weak in any way, it was a fact that Raito Yamaki was clearly a worthy opponent and was definitely a fellow advanced kenjutsu user which was the perfect person to test his whole set of powers against and truly test out his limits and maybe even gain more access to his sword.

“Well, all of that is truly impressive.” He said in complimenting the man, he felt the need to do that, not knowing for sure if maybe that was simply because of his own personality or if he truly felt as though the amount of swords coupled with the power that the swords appeared to have contained inside of them. Watching the male, Raito Yamaki seal the swords within a sword made it very and highly clear that the battle was about to resume and there would probably be no more breaks in this battle, from here on out it would be a full out serious fight between two of the best, if not the two best outright, kenjutsu users within Konohagakure no Sato and possibly out of the entire Shinobi world. “Sounds good!” he yelled back at Raito Yamaki in order to make it clear to the man that he was ready for the fight to stop being in the warm up phase and that it was finally time to get serious and make the fight a little more interesting than it already was. Within seconds of saying that and the battle actually beginning, it seemed that Raito was attempting to use that same type of lightning chakra as beforehand, only this time the lightning chakra simply gave off its almost pleasant bird chirping sound without leaving the confines of the male, Raito Yamaki’s hand. It seemed interesting that the man was going to try the exact same attack type, yet using a more close range style, the thought of making the man regret the idea by simply slicing the man in half nearly attempted to cross his mind, but he didn’t want to do something like that, and beside that the sword was still in its Runesave form. He quickly jumped off to the right, just barely quicker than the man but it was enough to make the man and his strange lightning chakra attack miss their target of his ribcage area.

Quickly he changed his sword, Decaforce, the Ten Commandments sword, back into its third form which was the sword nicknamed the sonic sword, and his speed increase happened once more, making him nearly uncatchable. He looked at Raito Yamaki as the man seemed to perform some type of summoning jutsu, in which the man, Raito Yamaki, seemed to summon a rather large and furry animal, within seconds becoming obviously clear that the animal that Raito Yamaki had summoned was a panda type of summoning, and he began to wonder just how much the man, Raito Yamaki, could use that was not actually kenjutsu but different types of jutsu. It mattered not to him what it was that was used against him as he was planning on making sure that he won this fight no matter what got in his way and that was mainly from his competitive natural that seemed to be innate in his mind. He quickly used his increased speed to dart off to the right of the panda that rolled at him, which seemed like a rather useless type of attack to use against him, but he had to admit that with his increased speed there was reason for such an attack to seem so simple, yet he couldn’t help but still feel like the rolling technique was some type of joke attack. Having easily and effortlessly avoided the silly rolling attack by Raito Yamaki’s panda summoning, he was able to more easily focus on the situation at hand, the time had come for him to attack and make his move, although it was still with the same sword that he had used to make his original attack, it was still nonetheless effective and especially effect in situations where he was fighting against another kenjutsu user. He quickly rushed forward, chakra flowing onto the soles of his feet as he broke out into a full on run, there was no longer any real point in being on top of the statue and the act of jumping off the statue might make Raito question the plan that the man had, even question whether or not the man was actually going to survive that type of a fall.

Jumping of the top of the statue’s head with chakra in his feet he landed on the surface of the water with relative and undamaging types of effects, and quickly ran from that point with chakra on his feet and ran to one of two different cliff-like rock formations erected out of the front of the waterfall about halfway through, in place for a moment, he reached his right hand into his pouch and quickly shot his right hand out, a few thin sheets of metallic substances flying through the air. With that having happened, he jumped back down to the next rock-cliff type of structure erected from the waterfall and turned back to see as the objects made their blinding speed towards the man standing on the top of the statue of the first hokage, the only man in the area right now that could fly and had swords to use against Haru.

Making one final jump he landed in the water of the river below, just outside of the raging water that was crashing down from the waterfall, yet he was still in the water, with his body being forced to dive fairly deep into the water before just moments later he was able to swim his way back to the surface and use chakra focus in order to pull out of the water and stand on top of the unstable body of water that made up the river. Standing there on top of the watery surface he looked back up at the statue of the first hokage, where Raito Yamaki stood at, wondering if the male would make his way down to the water and fight him head on.


(1351/3000 for 6th Decaforce Sword; 3851 in total for WC)

Raito had watched the man dodge his every move, "This guy is fast.." said Raito to himself as he watched the man move around. He then saw Haru jump from the top of the first Hokage's statue and make his way down. Was feeling a bit uneasy of just jumping down the first Hokage's head. Raito felt the urge to do so and as well just float in the air for sometime he then hit away the thin metallic substances. Raito was worried about what to do next. He then opened his sealing scroll and sealed his Ultima Sword in it and unsealed the key blade and caught it as it was spinning in mid air. "Now the real fight begins.." thought Raito as he put the sealing scroll away and got ready to jump. The wind became more fierce and Raito's black hair was blowing towards the left hand side. He knew that there was only one way to defeat his opponent and that was to double the amount of swords he used at a time. He then walked backwards and then ran forward, He then leaped off the edge and then a blue like chakra began to cover hsi body as the wings began to form from the blue chakra, he then did a diving drop with the wings while he was aiming for the Haru but decided to land a few meters away from him. Raito then stopped the chakra from flowing the blue chakra then disappeared. Raito then held the Buster Key Blade in both hands, "This is my Buster Key Blade.." said Raito with a smirk on his face as he ran towards Haru at a walking pace at first, but the he started picking up speed as he started getting closer and closer to the other kenjutsu, He then swiped at the man with the key blade and hoped that it would hit this time. Raito was not going to try short ranged jutsu anymore, he was going to keep his sword in the way and that would hopefully work.

Raito's panda then disappeared after it touched the water. Raito wanted his panda to join in on the fight and maybe even help him win. Raito would then send a kick towards Haru's jaw if his key blade will connect with Haru's Decaforce, if not then Raito would then open the scroll in front of him and seal his sword and unseal his crystal Buster Sword and then would start attacking with the indestructible blade. The one problem was that Haru seemed ten times faster than him so he needed something to out smart his opponent and maybe even a game changer and Raito knew what that was. He then would run at Haru and preform the Buster Cut and would attempt to wedge or just cut Haru and even do something about his speed.
