Those Who Loiter(P NK)*This means YOU

Eiji standing in place listened to Fai's words, "Hey I know you like to play with water, but let's step it up. Pick up the pace before I lose here." Eiji was annoyed by the boys arrogance, but he let it blow off. "The name is Eiji, by the way. And you are?" he said. He looked up at the sky dark clouds were coming in, here could here thunder and see lightning not too far away and it started to sprinkle and then shifted to a fast paced shower. Eiji was relieved he hadn't come all the way to the mountains for nothing. He had actually gotten to feel the water. He looked back down the man by the name of Kuro was looking at him and had sent three dark looking tentacles toward Eiji. "That is really, really funny. I have something quite similar to that," said Eiji to Kuro. Eiji reacting immediately shooting his right arm out turning it into a tentacle as large as three coming toward him put together using the moisture brought down by the rain. He sent his arm, tentacle, flying towards the others causing them to disappear. Eiji's tentacle was still elongated towards Kuro. He changed the end of the tentacle back into a hand and shot it straight at Kuro who wasn't too far away. If this move were to be not deflected it would grab the shady man's face and start to absorb whatever liquid the man had left in his body leaving a dry mummified body. If this were to not work Eiji would just allow the elongated part of his arm to fall off and hit the ground with a splash leaving him back with his normal sized arm awaiting calls from little Zeus over there, so that they could work together and fight this man. "I'm ready for anything you have up your sleeve, big guy," he sarcastically explained to Fai.

Kuro's grin did not waver, but his hair covered his eyes. It was within the second before the attacks wouldve connected that he vanished, letting the attacks collide. His disappearance was caused by him using more of the platforms of darkness, using what he liked to call Kuroi Shunpo. He reappeared infront of Fai, doing a handstand on the ground, legs bent. He pushed forward with both his legs and his arms, aiming to kick Fai in the chest with both legs. Meanwhile, he lifted his hand, creating a line of darkness on the ground, which went towards Eiji, forming a box on the ground. If Eiji did not get out of it, it would rise into a cube, boxing him in. When it did so, it would launch hundreds of senbon from each side of the cube. Kuro's attacks and speed were at full power. He doubted either of them would dodge, but the area Kuro had targeted on Fai would spread the blow, lessening the damage, but not the pain. Meanwhile, Eiji had proved he could already liquefy, meaning a few hundred senbon would at most annoy him.

Kuro knew the attacks wouldnt kill the two children, but they would likely be in great pain, for Fai at least, and somewhat low on chakra for Eiji. His plan was simple, have some damn fun. It was always his plan, after all, he was a mad man, someone who cared little for anything more than fun, other than his master, but thats just not fair using her in such a comparison. Kuro's attacks could kill, but he knew they wouldnt. The two children had proven themselves too sturdy to die from such attacks, so he could relax and fight all out. He always hated restricting himself to certain levels of power for fights, even if it did prolong the fun. He never really got a chance to face someone at his exact power, the fight with the Mizukage was a joke, a slight error and the mizukage died, the bijuu he simply dodged, no real attacks. Even his last fight against his master had been flawed, and short at that. He briefly pondered what would happen if he used a vacuum attack, but ignored that path of thought, saving it for later.

AS Kuro would dodge his attack he would have no idea what happened but it would not deter him from his goal, hit Kuro and contunue the fun. Kuro disappeared from Fai's field of view and reappear faster than he could react, as he threw a kick at him and judging from the speed dodging was impossible, so Fai did what was conisdered a "cheesy" tactic as he turned his right arm to Kuro making the chakra dense as the blow hit him. He would fly back about ten meters as his feet would blow up dust around him as his time was up. The storm would reach them as a bolt of lightning came down and struck exactly where Fai was standing but that was the least of the groups problem.

A loud roar would come from where Fai was as his chakra could be seen and the lightning would dance around him as a maniacal laugh as his arm would begin to glow even brighter," well you all have certainly made this fun but now its my turn. Friend or Foe it doesn't matter both will be sacrificed," as he would roar. He would dash directly at Kuro his left hand extending as he launched off of the ground directly above him as the same rift would open above him shooting a large blast of concentrated red lightning at him. During this lightning would strike the ground around him as if his lightning was calling it down. Looking at Eiji he would smile," you are next," as he shot a blast of lightning at him. Fai was not himself and someone like Kuro could easily notice this as he stood up cackling.

Eiji would notice a darkness increasingly slithering towards, he this short amount of time to take note of his surroundings. Although it was raining Eiji had never been bothered with the water in his eyes he could see clearly through it, it was besides the point that he was a Hozuki he had trained himself in rain as to use it as a regeneration advantage. First thing he noticed was a couple trees that had fallen down due to the increasing wind patterns in the sky, they were going about sixty kilometers an hour north, Eiji supposed this was because they were in the mountains because it never felt like this in the valley. The second thing he noticed were many large puddles around all the dirt covered areas, in fact he was standing in one of the largest of them right then. While he was looking down he saw that the darkness had reached him and was forming a box around him quickly he did the necessary hand seals and flickered around ten feet to the left of Kuro, enough for two point blank shots with his water gun jutsu, he thought that if he was closer and shot for the neck, a vital point in the body with not many bones, he could penetrate whatever armor the man had. After taking his two shots, he noticed that his supposed partner had turned into a maniac, as if he had recently broken out of an insane asylum or something, but it didn't matter he was charging Kuro after shooting a lightning blast at Kuro, he shot one at Eiji. But Eiji was already prepared to be a attacked by Fai, the way he had said "partner" hadn't sounded to convincing to Eiji. As the lightning was coming towards Eiji he leaped to the right and put a little bit of space between him and the others. He was now standing about thirty feet behind Kuro and the maniac.

Kuro felt the cracking of bones in Fai's arm, and had to laugh. As soon as the blow connected, he launched himself back towards Eiji, going behind him before he could react. He placed his hand on the ground, creating a wall of darkness which curved in on Eiji, with an open hole which was right at the area where the lightning would hit. Kuro had nothing to worry about seeing as Eiji was much more conductive than him. Kuro stood up, and pushed the wall towards the lightning, as hard and fast as he could. Time for games was over. This turned into a fun fight, sure, but it was getting old fighting someone who was immune to physical attacks. Although, he was sure that Fai would be fun to fight, he had wanted a taijutsu match, something to really get his blood flowing. Instead, he was granted with a water user and a lightning user, who, if they teamed up correctly, might be a decent warm up.

Truth be told, there was very little he had expected from the two. Sure, maybe a decent kekkei genkai user, maybe a decent sword user, those were getting more common, but he was slightly impressed by the two. A hozuki was a rare find, definitely a good fight, but not for a physical fighter like he was. On the other hand, he had never seen anyone use lightning in such a manner as Fai had. He had to chuckle momentarily as he heard Fai go insane. He frowned slightly. Killing was fine, hell killing innocents was fine, but killing comrades was different. If they deserved it, by breaking a law, or causing it themselves, they got it, but to simply discard their lifes? That was tactless, and needlessly violent. He had no qualms on killing, none at all. To kill an ally though, it was foolish, and foolishness was something he despised.

Kuro felt rather bored with the current status of the fight. Fighting one person was usually fun, but two people at the same time often got boring, especially when they wouldnt work together. Were they idiots? Fighting him, an S ranked ninja, without working together? It was a stupid idea. He was a true fighter, adapting to the moment, using everything as an advantage. While he had no real style about it, he was even more dangerous without one. It was his reflexes and adapting ability that allowed him to be a truly fearsome opponent, especially when in a taijutsu fight. He just hoped these two wouldnt bore him more than they already had. Straight forward attacks, no real combinations, no teamwork. These two children were messes, but even a mess can become the shiniest spot in a house. Kuro reminded himself he wasnt good at making comparisons with shit like that, and finally pressed "Send".

Inside of Fai's mind he could hear the seal speaking to him,"This is the first time in a while you've pushed it now i get to have fun," the voice of course was his inner bloodlust as on the outside he would be jumping back for a moment pulling out a clear wire and tossing it to and fro. Neither enemy would see this coming as he stood back and cackled," Theres so much of it here," as he slammed his hands onto the ground. The wire would conduct the lightning on the ground as it went into one of puddles near Kuro making taps around both Eiji and Kuro. From that point Fai would dash forward, jumping over his own trap as he still held the wire whipping in around him he would land three meters to the right launching it at both Kuro and Eiji.

The lightning would strike the ground around him again as his seal pulsated on his hand. In own mind he would be doing battle with himself trying to regain control of himself. It was a losing battle at first until Fai would remember what his father told him," Embrace the hatred and bloodlust in you and you will conquer the seal," On the outside a huge surge of lightning would erupt from Fai's position as he finally calmed down. Fai would look at Kuro," okay now lets try this again," as he drew his sword and an explosive tag. He would look at Eiji and give a wide smile," Coordinated attack, you will know the signal," as he body flickered to the left of Kuro, sendind a vertical cut to his left side.

Fai knew this would never work so he tried a new trick, as soon as Kuro would move to dodge he would have already prepared the substitution technique as he flickered behind Kuro planting the tag on him. His smile would turn into a grin as he sent a quick bolt through the seal causing it to explode, but by the time it had exploded causing Fai to substitue with a nearby log. From that point he would appear by Eiji's side," Now would be the signal," as he smiled.

Eiji standing behind Kuro would have seen a lightning bolt coming his way before he could dodge the lightning a box of darkness surrounded him with a hole pointing at the direction the lightning, having to resort to last measures he quickly did the hand seals for Substitution Jutsu replacing himself with a dead log he had noticed that had fallen down earlier when he was looking at his surroundings. He was now standing 20 feet to the left of Kuro who was near where the box was which was disappearing now that he probably noticed Eiji had gotten out. The second Eiji had gotten out it had been just in time to notice the lightning boy pull something out of his pouch, but Eiji couldn't really identify what it was until he heard a crackle of lightning that appeared on the ground near him. Then as if out of nowhere the once crazy boy had seemed to calm down and was talking to Eiji, "Okay, now lets try this again. Coordinated attack, you will know the signal." He watched prepared to attack as the boy drew a sword and an explosive tag out and flickered towards Kuro. He noticed the boy placing the tag on Kuro and the second he did so Eiji was one step ahead and shot two water bullets directly at the location at which the tag would explode possibly leaving Kuro vulnerable for a direct attack. The second after Eiji had shot he heard, "Now would be the signal," and the boy was standing at a safe distance away, with a log in his place. Eiji smiled, "One step ahead of you, buddy," then waited for the smoke to clear to see if they had accomplished anything.

Kuro did something that had been unexpected, instead of dodging, he grabbed the wrist of Fai, pulling it by twisting his waist. Before he did so, he had coated his hands with darkness While he did so, he placed his foot onto Fai's knee, kicking forward. If Fai didnt do something, he would break the leg backward, his knee collapsing inward. It wouldnt be a true break, if he could stand the pain, he could move it back, and it would still work, but the pain would be incredible, unbearable to a normal person. Now this was what Kuro wanted. He heard a noise, the same sound he heard when Eiji had shot water at him. He twisted further, dragging Fai with him, the bullets would hit Fai if he had not escaped by then, right in the arm, which would make it useless. If he had moved, then the water would simply fall when it hit him, since the bones protected his body all over. They were finally working in tandem. That was good, much more fun if they could fight as a team instead of two simple children. Kuro then threw Fai towards Eiji, laughing. "Now this is what I wanted!" He shouted happily.

Fai did not expect Kuro to counter as he did but as always Fai would have a counter. As Kuro grabbed his wrist he would go in the same direction as Kuro as if they were dancing. He would pirouet as if this was a dance. He would see Kuro's foot aiming for his knee as he used his own foot as a balance board to flip back, loosing the grip on his wrist. Fai would have already had his substitution ready as he shock the Explosive tag from behind Kuro making a huge explosion, but Fai would simply appear beside Eiji. Smiling he would hear Kuro speak," Well i am one for giving a good show," giving a fancy bow.

As he looked back up at Kuro he would look to Eiji," your Bullet technique,i have an idea," as he put a finger into the air as he spoke. He would point up into the air feeling the rain above," This rain will be the basis for our team attack use it well," as his Seal would now glow red instead of dark red as he pointed his hand towards the sky," Round two Kuro-Sempai," as he opened his hand at him but he was not aiming for him. He would shoot a blast of negative lightning making a huge bolt of lightning come down on Kuro, before the lightning would strike he would look at Eiji," NOW," as Fai smiled.

Eiji would watch Fai as he gracefully maneuvered, but then he noticed something weird about Fai's hand. He looked a little more closely and noticed there was an explosive tag, "What is he up to? I wonder if he is planning to blow it up," Eiji thought to himself and just as he had predicted the boy flawlessly performed the substitution jutsu just as he used a spark to activated the explosions tag's explosion. Eiji wondered what the boy substituted or more importantly where just as Eiji was thinking this he looked to his left the boy was standing next to him and he would say, "You bullet technique, I have an idea. This rain will be the basis for our team attack, use it well. Round two Kuro-Senpai." After saying that Eiji would nod and say, "Got it, so just give me the signal when your ready." With that a flash of lightning would appear from the sky striking the location at which Kuro was standing. "Now!" Fai yelled as he smiled. With the signal given Eiji quickly pointed his two index fingers at Kuro and acurately aiming for one the vital neck location and two the vital groin location. Being hit by lightning put the idea into Eiji's head the the man would be left very vulnerable in already very vulnerable locations. Instead of normally firing the bullets Eiji would absorb the rain around him allowing for a larger bullet making the bullet just as fast, but packing a lot bigger punch than it normally would. Although they would be bigger than normal they would still be the size of a large raindrop making it almost impossible to make out the difference between the bullet and the rain around the three. Eiji turned his head a looked at his temporary partner and said, "I think we actually got him this time what about you?"
