Doing some Missions [Private]

Xuro would begin following nero upon his instruction. The 3 ran across the desert trying to locate the enemy. It was good for the brotherhood to be finally in action once again. Nothing big had happened in Sunagakure after the attack except for the new Kazekage being appointed. There wasn't any new missions to do as well. Now since there were new missions available it was the Brotherhood of Light consisting of Nero, Xuro & Vergil to complete them and ensure the safety of their Kazekage & their village. As they ran in the open desert Xuro looked at his two best friends & comrades. They were the only people he new so well. He had met and trained with other people in Sunagakure, other people who were also part of the brotherhood but now unfortunately they all are gone... Its only them three left. And Xuro was sure they were the strongest ninja in Sunagakure, although not much ninja actually remained, and he was also certain that the bond they had that is the Brotherhood of Light was an unbreakable, indestructible bond that holds this village together and keeps its still standing and there is no foe out there that can touch the village once more without having to go through them. They were the 3 supporting pillars holding up the village.


Vergil stopped them warning that there was 3 chakra signatures nearby. Xuro would follow Vergil lead till he lead them right to the three men. They definitely seemed dangerous and pretty strong. Vergil and one of the men would begin fighting, Xuro followed up and attack the second guy. He striked the man with his eartanic blade but the man ducked it. The man then threw kunai with explosive tags attached to them at xuro. He quickly threw his blade at a few to block them and then jumped over the others. He landed safety as they exploded a fair distance away. Xuro then used a smoke bomb to hide his location while he quickly went to recover his blade. He then jumped over the smoke, while in mid air infusing his blade with lightning chakra as it could be visibly seen due to the blue sparks of lightning follow around the blade. He then slashed the sword with all his might at the man. The man managed to move out of the way a little but got his arm cut completely off. As he scurried in pain, Xuro dashed at him and performed one final slash, slicing the man's head off clean. He then searched the dead carcass and to his luck he found the intel that was stolen from their kage's office. He looked at Vergil and saw that Vergil had succeeding in defeating his foe. Xuro hoped Nero would also do the same to his one. He then shouted at the two, "Hey I found the intel. Looks like we stopped them just in time. They would have probably gone and gave it to some other missing nin or something if we didn't stop them. Mission accomplished!!"

Nero would hear the sound the other two members of the Brotherhood of Light made when they were moving forwards behind Nero to follow him. Nero, not even needing to look at his back to assume they were following him, both due to the sound they made when stepping on the sand, increasing a huge amount of sand from the ground with their level of speed, and also due to the reason Nero trusted these men more than anybody, maybe even more than his capabilities... "My brothers..." Nero thought to himself, "The letter I sent to the Tenkage... I don't know what to do now... I believe, now that both of them are here, there is no point in continuing my quest and heading to Tengakure now... I might have asked them to come with me but what would the point be ? The three of us have gotten used to the village and the villagers have gotten used to have us around too... I guess I will stay here for quite some more time...".

"Three chakra signatures up ahead."... Vergil's words would make Nero grin... Three simple words, but such, that they rushed Adrenaline through Nero's veins, his eyes looking more alive, looking more open and careful, his body itching to move with his whole speed, his chakra itching to rush out of his body, become a part of the technique to cause destruction upon the enemy... The three simple words, the only three words needed, to inform not only Nero's mind, but also his body of the oncoming battle... A battle... A real, fatal battle, that could only result in the death of one of the sides for Nero to be satisfied... Something that the Goka clan member missed, his body and mind being created for one, but him not finding any chance to participate in one for such a long time...

His face would turn out to be more crimson than his usual color, with his blood rushing through his veins with an even grater pace than before... Yes... This man was not sane... Even the likeliness of killing someone or being killed in his hands, even the thought of a fatal battle, caused this man to get excited... Nero would have then realised that one of the three man the Hyuuga clan member brother of his Vergil informed the other two about enter the battle, fighting against the Hyuuga boy himself. In Nero's eyes this would have been the proof that the fatal battle to death had already started between the 6 men, 3 man in one side and 3 against them... 3 ninja of the Brotherhood of Light, protectors of the Village Hidden in the Sand, against 3 possible suspects for being the missing-nin who have stolen the info from the Kage's office...

Nero's grin would have became even closer to the grin an insane killer would have made when looking at his prey. Seeing as Xuro also acted and attacked one of the 2 other missing-nins that were possible suspects to the investigation they would have been running. Nero would lay his eyes upon the 3rd man that was left free by the other two. Nero would have dashed towards the man, as he would create 3 orbs of Scorch Release from the chakra that has been finally been released from his body, Nero itching to do it for quite some time now. The man would try jumping backwards, Nero stopping dashing, as the orbs would have been sent towards the man. The man would have held his hand in front of his face, doing the Tiger handsign, commonly used for Fire Release Techniques, as the man fully covered in black clothnig created a huge stream of water from his mouth, catching so quickly that the orbs were based on Fire Release.

"Smart." Nero would have thought to himself as the man did this, "But not enough..". The orbs would have been extinguished by the Water Stream, but only because Nero let him extinuigh them, because due to him not finding the chance to participate in a fatal battle for quite some time now, he wanted to play with his prey... The orbs, when they were extinguished, created a huge, thick mist, that would have covered a large area, at least of 20 meters. Nero would have then disappeared and reappeared behind his prey mid-air. He would then create another single Scorch Release orb that would have been only 5 centimeters in diameter. The orb would have pierced through the man's brain with a great speed. The area would have then been cleared by the mist, revealing the Goka clan member, and the body of the man with a small hole in the middle of his forehead. The ground would have been turned into a small lake of the man's blood. Nero would have grinned... But his smile would have been dispersed... By something else...

Nero would hear Xuro's words, but he would spot another scroll on the ground. "I guess this..." he wouldn't have found the time to finish his words, when the blood that was flowing from inside the man's head reached to the scroll Nero spotted, that probably fell off the same man while he was mid-air. Then, a huge puff of smoke would have appeared, covering an area of 50 meters. A terrifying sound of a scream would have been heard by the three... The scream resembled a sound of mountains crushing, thunders roaming and a dozen of lions roaring at the same time... The smoke would have then cleared out, revealing... The monster...

The monster:

Nero would have been amazed by the look of the gigantic monster... A beatiful beast, roughly 50 meters from head to the end of its tail, mostly yellow, except some of the it, like its stomach, that seemed to be covered by brown armor-like shells. It had 4 wings and an extra 4 arms, and 2 long legs. Its tail had brown spikes on them, looking more dangerous than the rest of his body. "A... dragon ?" he would have thougth to himself... "Xuro... Vergil... Do your best, and don't get killed...".

The beast would have then levitated from the ground with a few movements with its wings. It would have been heading towards the Village Hidden in the Sand. "No !" Nero shouted, "We must stop it before it reaches the village !!! Xuro, Vergil, do something to drive his attention to us...". Nero would have then tried to do the same thing, to drive the attention of the giant beast to the three, instead of the village it was headed to. "It's moving with such a great speed..." he said, "But not that great compared to ours...". Nero would have then created a Lightning Release Shadow clone that would have used the transformation technique to create wings and fly, to go in front of the beast's face, and attack it.

The clone, once it was flying in front of the dragon's face. It would create 5 Scorch Release orbs to attack the dragon's face. The dragon would stop moving, as its four hands would make some gestures, and an amount of sand would be raised up to cover the orbs, not leaving any air to keep the orbs fired up, so they would disperse. Nero would have been amazed by both the beast's talent and its intelligence... The dragon, fortunately, would have landed on the ground, now focused on the three men instead of the village...

The real Nero, by the way, would have looked for the other two bodies, because the one he killed got pierced in his head. He would find the body of the man that Vergil has killed, because it seemed to be not damaged too much in its brain... Nero would then use the Mind Reading Technique to read the mid of the missing-nin that died in the hands of Vergil Hyuuga. Nero would try to gather as much info on the dragon as he could... He would learn that the dragon was created in an experiment using the Chimera technique, forming many monsters together... The dragon's DNA seemed to be altered with Ichaku, the 1 tailed beats's DNA for the monster to be able to manipulate sand like the tailed beast could. Fortunately, due to the monster being a fake, its sand manipulation wasn't nearly as strong as the tailed beast's... Nero would have also learned that it can create Wind and Fire Release streams from its mouth and many other thing, and that its yellow parts are weaker than its brown parts (well, Nero could tell this even without reading the dead man's mind).

Nero would have shared this information with the other 2 jounin as quick as he could, through the telepathic link between them. "Xuro, Vergil, listen... This is a beast created in an experiment... It was created to destroy the Sand Village... Anyway, no time for stories... Its DNA is altered with Ichaku's DNA so it can manipulate Sand like the 1-Tailed Beast could. Dortunately for us, the manipulation is not as strong as the beast's though... Now, it can also create wind and fire release streams from its mouth, and the yellow parts of his body are weaker than the brown shells, as I think you might have realised... Now... We have to kill it right here right now...".

[WC: 1562/7000]

Still staring at the deceased body of the man he had just killed, Vergil would be caught off guard when he heard Nero.

"A... dragon ?" he would have thougth to himself... "Xuro... Vergil... Do your best, and don't get killed...".

It was as if the beast had jumped from one of the ancient tales he had heard when he was younger. Seeing such a thing up close was indeed frightening, but Vergil knew that he could not let the creature harm the village. The people within the walls of that place had already been through enough. He could not let their hearts bear anymore sadness. Vergil would stand up and begin to run along the flank of the beast sprinting quickly. The beast was indeed fast, but as Nero said, it could in no way compare to them. Vergil would watch as a clone of Nero's flew up into the sky, intercepting the path of the monster. It was a perfect strategy, distracting the monster from the village. Soon the beast would be on the ground, a level which Vergil would rather have then have the beast flying at heights he could never reach. Though it's attention was now focused on them.

The beats lay on the ground, ten meters in front of Vergil. Vergil knew that he was a close ranged fighter. So attempting to attack the beast at a large range would be futile. He would have to close in, where the odds of landing attacks were in his favor. Vergil would dash towards the beast as it lay on the ground. The monster would sit up, it's back feet pressing against the sand. The monster would wave both of its left hands. Immediately shells of sand would be launched towards Vergil as he ran. Vergil would spin in a circular motion, releasing chakra from several points in his body, soon a shield of chakra would be formed around him. The shells would slam into the shield and be reduced to several grains of sand. Vergil would stop spinning and continue on a steady path towards the beats. He would draw a single kunai and throw it towards the beat, aiming no place in particular, his kunai would be reflected off no damage done to the monster.

"Xuro, Vergil, listen... This is a beast created
in an experiment... It was created to destroy the Sand Village...
Anyway, no time for stories... Its DNA is altered with Ichaku's DNA so
it can manipulate Sand like the 1-Tailed Beast could. Dortunately for
us, the manipulation is not as strong as the beast's though... Now, it
can also create wind and fire release streams from its mouth, and the
yellow parts of his body are weaker than the brown shells, as I think
you might have realised... Now... We have to kill it right here right
now...".

Vergil would stop moving while he listened to Nero. Whom would create a monster to destroy the village? Thinking of this made Vergil angry, but as he listened on he figured out why his attempt at attacking the village was futile. It seemed that the monster had some weak points. Vergil would make sure to use this to his advantage. Performing the ram hand seal he would body flicker at a dangerously close range to the beast. The monster would swing with one of its hands, in a single attempt to hit Vergil. To Vergil however, it seemed to him that the monster was moving in slow motion. He would duck, easily evading the attack. At such a close range he could think of little to no ways for to attack the beast. He thought it best that he just neutralize it, prohibiting it from using its sand manipulation.

Vergil would reach out, slamming his palm into the side of the beast. He would begin to enter a groove, his first palm would slam into the side of the beast, though the beast itself would show no signs of being in pain. Though hurting the monster was not what Vergil intended to do anyways. He would continue to slam his hands into the side of the beast, his byakugan activated he could notice that as each strike landed the beasts chakra network seemed to be depleting. The beast was the perfect target, large it was hard to miss. After striking the beast quickly twenty times(Beast takes a loss of -100 chakra). At this point the monster would stop moving slouching onto the ground. Vergil would leap away, ten meters. He was tired and fatigued, though at least for now the monster did not seem to be too much of a problem. It was immobile at the moment due to losing so much of its chakra. Vergil would mentally say, "I need a breather, I trust you guys to finish it off." He would kneel over placing his hands on his knees resting. If the beast had time, it was certain that it could regain it's chakra.

[2281/7000]

Xuro would watch Nero defeat the last of the three missing ninja and had completed their mission. Xuro watched Nero use his specialty. His clan's signature scorch release orbs. It truly was an amazing technique. It was beyond being just fire. It was indeed scorch. Their joy of the success of their mission was soon brought to an end but a tremendous rumble followed by a huge puff of smoke covering the whole area. On the clearance of the smoke, there was this huge beast. Something that Xuro had never ever seen before. He didn't even imagine a beast that looks like that... He was completely struck in awe. The beast had 4 wings as well as 4 arms and two long legs. It was huge but what made even more deadly was that it could fly!

Xuro was still frozen looking at the colossal figure floating in the air. He eyes followed the motion of Nero's clone trying his best to fight with the beast. He eyes then turned and followed the motion of sand being manipulated by the dragon. Xuro thought to himself, "what the f*ck is this thing?! How could it be so huge and powerful and also fly. And how the hell can it manipulate sand?!" Xuro had heard about the one tails being able to fully manipulate sand but how could another creature possess similar abilities? "How are we going to defeat something like this??? What must we do?? What can we do?? Are we gonna die??" Xuro's mind filled with thoughts of the beast and also about the 3 of them, Xuro, Vergil and Nero's fate while he still remained frozen watching the events that unfolded. He snapped out of the frozen status he was in when he heard Nero communicate with them via their telepathic link. Nero must have read the mind of one dead missing nin. The beast indeed have some connection with the one tails. It had some of its DNA that's what gave it not fully but some of the beast's abilities to manipulate sand. The beast could also shoot out streams fire & wind out from its mouth. All this time while Nero spoke telepathically to them, Xuro's hands manoeuvred their way to his back pack tubes and suck out some clay. The rest of his body had still been remaining completely still. His hands came together in front of him and began kneaded some clay. Nero continued speaking, he said that the beast was designed for only one purpose- To Destroy Sunagakure! these words hit Xuro like an avalanche. The brotherhood of Light head band that was strapped firmly across his forehead covering over his left sharingan eye shot open in an instance and fell to the ground. His eyes bulged out as if they were being popped out with giant hand. The blue right eye and red left eye gave off an emotion out of pure anger and fury. Destroying Sunagakure was the one thing that would piss off Xuro to such an extend that he'd show this much emotion. That was the limit. His veins in his body bulged out of his skin. Blood rushed to and from his brain to all parts of his body filled with fury. No one will ever try and destroy Sunagakure again for as long as Xuro lives, no one will even try it or even let that thought pass their mind. His hands twitched and opened up a C2 Dragon which he dropped down on the ground. His body still motionless except for his eyes expressing his anger and his hands. As the C2 dragon (still in its miniature form about a few centimetres) was falling down to the ground, Xuro's hands began performing hand seals as a motionless robot following its programming. By the time the dragon was about to touch the ground, Xuro had performed the last hand seal forming the ram seal by clapping his hands together with all his might and strength fused with anger. When the C2 dragon touched the ground, all huge puff of smoke could be heard and seen. When the smoke clears, Dramatic Naruto musics plays in the background...

Xuro is standing high above the ground standing upon a 10 feet high, 10 feet long and 10 feet wide gigantic Dragon. Its size almost comparable with the beast yet the beast still stands as the biggest. Xuro now had full control over his body and was able to move now out of his frozen status. He stood tall fully ready to defend his village. Xuro upon his mighty beast of his own lifted into the sky. The beast's wings expanded and the majestic creature took to the skies. It was now floating in the air about 10 meters away from the beast which now landed on the ground and diverted its attention to Nero and Vergil who were trying to stop it. Xuro eyes expressed his emotion and sheer determination to stop this beas at all costs till its completely obliterated from the face of this earth.

The Dramatic music now slowly fades away as Xuro's dragon opens its mouth revealing a small dragon 1-2 meters big with its head sticking out of the bigger "father" dragon's mouth. Xuro himself was busy kneading some more clay ready to put his plan into action. He had formed 6 birds (still in their miniature form) he then threw them down the dragon and performed hand seals causing the 6 birds to expand in a puff of smoke. They were now, each bird, 3 meters big. They flew around the big dragon at a very fast speed. He commanded four out of the 6 birds to attack the beast. The birds flew in and as they flew, Xuro launched one of the dragon's torpedoes while it formed another.

So the scene was like so: the 4 birds were flying in a line formation with a torpedo dragon flowing behind. They headed for the beast's face. The beast noticed them coming and opened his mouth and launched a stream of fire at the four birds. The fire stream was so wide that it actually covered the full wide to shoot the fire at all 4 birds just with one wave. The birds were melted to a pulp and dropped straight to the ground. The torpedo dragon managed to fly over the fire wave but the beast wasn't through. He launched a few streams of wind the beast tried its best to evade the wind streams but was eventually got it by a huge stream of wind and it shot the dragon 100s of meters away.

Xuro had to now think of another plan. He told Nero & Vergil telepathically, "Guys see if you can get his attention away from me so I can finish him. But when you see my dragon falling then get as far away as you can."

If Nero & Vergil would get the beast attention away from him, Xuro would launch his 4 torpedo missiles the dragon had at the dragon. They headed for its neck the weaker yellow spot. They hit it with full force and impact exploding cause a ton of damage to the beast. Its neck sloped down in pain but still not enough. During this time, Xuro was kneading more clay and formed another miniature C2 creature but this time not a dragon! He threw it a few meters back.

He then yelled at Nero and Vergil, "Get Back!!" He then sent the last two birds he had and they flew under his C2 Dragon. The dragon then flew directly above the injured beast. He then jumped off the dragon towards the miniature C2 he threw. He performed some hand seals causing the miniature C2 to expand to 10 meters huge in a puff of smoke. Xuro landed safely on it which was a 10 meter huge clay Rhino! The dragon floating above the beast would close in his wings causing him to fall down on the two birds and falling onto the dragon. Xuro knew he could detonate his dragon but if something else comes into contact with the dragon and explodes it will cause his dragon to explode. The dragon landed straight on the beast's face and neck squashing it while the two birds, at Xuro's command, exploded causing his C2 dragon to explode as well. The explosion was huge with a ton of impact causing the whole beast to be disintegrated.

Xuro standing on his giant Rhino thought it was over but a huge puff of smoke changed his expression. He then looked over at the explosion area. The beast never got blown up but instead got dispersed in a puff of smoke much like what happens to a shadow clone. Xuro mouth dropped open as he watched what was hovering above all of them. "Uuhhhhh... Guys... We got a problem. That was just a shadow clone...." Xuro exclaimed in shock. The real beast was still hovering above them and looked even more pissed off now for destroying the shadow clone. The beast infuriated, performed the shadow clone hand seal. Appeared before them was now not only 1 beast but 5 beasts surrounding them in the air. "How does a beast like that able to make shadow clones?!"Xuro shouted "We in for a very bad day as of now..."


[WC: 3847/7000]

Nero would have dispersed his one lightning release shadow clone, as he had figured out that the clone wouldn't have been any use for him for the next minutes of the battle, him also not wanting to reveal his ability of creating Lightning Release Shadow clones to the dragon, seeming as the beast was more intelligent than he would have thought... Nero would have let go of the dead body, as it was now as useless as the dispersed shadow clone. "Complete nonsense..." Nero would have thought to himself, "What kind of genius does it take to create a doppelganger of a Jinchuuriki, with an equal mass but greater shape ? Can rally intelligent mind create intelligence ? How far can this beast go, when we enter the mental battle ? How focused, how cautious do we have to be in order to survive the battle with no man behind, nor any of our body parts missing ? We can't just jump into battle... We need a proper preperation... The beast can have any kinds of traps set up, not to mention we're in the one place it would have had a huge advantage against almost anyone... The desert... All the sand it can control... I don't even want to think what the beast can do... Fortunately, with Vergil's Byakugan and our mental link, we three have eyes everywhere...".

Nero would have repeated it within his own mind, "We shouldn't attack now... We should let it try to land a hit first, see how the beast thinks, observe it's style in battle, or how his unique brain works, if he has one that is... I guess I'll need further information on it... But there isn't anything else in the man's mind about this particular giant; but about other creatures the "geniuses" or the "crazy scientists", which are not too different from each other in my opinion, created. Should I try to find out more ? Or would it be too selfish, would it be leaving my friends alone in the battle or would it be trying to find info to help them ? This dragon... It's messing with my mind...".

Nero would have decided it took him long enough, and that he needed to act now or never. "It's too dangerous, not too mnetion too selfish, to leave them alone. That is of course undeniable, but I also need further information on the beast, info on the ones who created (or would the proper phrase be, "formed" ? Anyway...) it. Once again, I will use my shadow clones. Well, at least one, but it has to be myself that enters the battle against the dragon...". Nero would have then did the necessary hand seal in order to create a shadow clone, and with a small puff of smoke, a clone that looks exactly like Nero would have appeared, a rare type of a Shadow clone, that differs from the usual ones by having lightning chakra infused into itself, that would take effect when the clone is dispersed.

Nero would have looked into the eyes of the clone for a brief time, as the clone would have done the same, mirroring Nero's actions. Then, Nero himself would have entered the battlefield once again, his clone going to the other two bodies to gain further information. Nero would have then realised Vergil directly attacking the beast in close-range. "What is this kid thinking ?" Nero would have thought to himself, "Why wouldn't he hesitate doing such a thing ? If the dragon would have just laid his body on the body of the boy, could have been turned into a "Hyuuga Omlette". He knew better than that... He knew we had to analyze its way completely before going on an assault, that shouldn't have been as blind as this one, as the sand manipulation the beast was capable of using, along with the area we're in would give the dragon a huge advantage in a battle that it would have the greatest range, and the opponent is trying to close that range, it's... A low possibility...".

Nero would have smiled seeing as the kid could have gotten out of the close range battle without injury, also seemingly taking away the Dragon's ability to use some of his arms, possibly through the Hyuuga techniques, or the Gentle Fist... Anyway, Nero knew it was time to act. But he would have been stopped by his other brother, Xuro. Nero would have watched every single one of Xuro's movements and moves... Nero would have listened to his comrade's words, "Attract the beast's attention away from The Bakuton user... It doesn't sound that hard anyway...".

Nero would have then created 5 spheres of Scorch Release that ould have kept moving in a spiral way around Nero. The dragon's full attention would have been attracted to Nero, the big yellow eyes of the beast being locked on to the man and his fireballs. Nero would have then done as Xuro said and gotten out of the way of the bomb so it would hit the beast without a problem.

But the war was not yet over, and in fact, it was very much far from it. "Shadow clones ?" Nero thought to himself, "The dragon can create shadow clones ?". Nero would have turned to Vergil, and started talking again, "Vergil, can you sense the beast itself ?". Nero doubted the answer would have been "Yes.", a beast that was this intelligent and capable could have easily hidden his chakra signature, but Nero still had hope that the beast's ability to hide his chakra was not great enough to fool the eyes of the Hyuuga, the Byakugan that saw everything...

[WC: 4788/7000]

Vergil could think of nothing that he could do to directly distract the beast away from Xuro, he was hoping Nero would be able to take the wheel over on this one and he did just that. The five fire balls the man seemed to create out of thin air, would move around the man in a spiral motion. This diverts the dragons attention away from Xuro, Vergil follows suit the moment Nero moves he does also, as to not get caught in the way of whatever Xuro had planned. The bomb slams into the dragon destroying it easily, but it seems things were just beginning. "That dragon is surely skilled. To think that it was able to create a shadow clone. Maybe I've underestimated its abilities.." Vergil thinks to himself as he stares upwards at the dragons above them. He would activate his byakugan, the all seeing white eye of his clan, to attempt to differentiate between the clones and the original. It would not take long for his byakugan to spot the difference between the two. "It's the one in the center, that's the original. Take him down and I am sure the rest of the clones will dissipated, but we should still keep our eyes on the clones, they can prove to be a problem if we only fixate our attention on the original." Vergil says mentally so that he and Xuro can hear clearly.

A single dragon swoops downwards, but it is not the original, it lands onto the sandy floor of the desert and roars loudly.Three other dragons land as well, all of them are clones and seem to be attempting to protect their leader, which is at the moment still flying in the skies above them. "Hopefully Nero and Xuro can do something about the original. The best thing that I can do is take out a clone or two to keep them from getting in their way." Vergil thinks to himself as he begins to run to the right, catching the eye of one of the clones. Vergil knew that he would be pushing it if he were to attempt to fight the dragons once more at close range, but there were two mid-range techniques that he was capable of using and at the moment they were the only things that he could think of.

He continues to draw the single dragon safely away from the others, all the while he is praying for his safety. Though it seemed as if he had the unfortunate luck, as another dragon followed the other. Leaving Vergil now facing off with two dragons. There were still two other cloned dragons near Xuro and Nero, not to mention the original that was still in flight above them. He could tell with the use of his byakugan that the clones were significantly weaker than the original dragon. So taking them out should not be too bad of a problem. A single hit or two would be enough. Although, the dragons still seemed to harbor all of their strength with no hindrances, they were equal to the original as far as that went. Vergil voices this out telepathically to the others, "Xuro, Nero, in case you have not noticed the original dragon is still in flight above us, but the clones it created seemed to be a slight problem. However, I have found something beneficial to us defeating the clones. They seemed to be weak in comparison to the original we can use this to our advantage." Vergil states to the two of his comrades through their telepathic link.

Vergil stops running and enters and immediate face off with the dragons, skidding to a stop 10 meters away from the two of them. Vergil sighs, raising his palm into the air he releases a wave of compressed chakra towards one of the dragons, aiming for the center of its chest a weak point. The Vacuum palm connects successfully throwing the dragon off its feet. The amount of Chakra applied in the Vacuum was more than enough to level a small building, the speed of the projectile (65) was also. This is why Vergil was not so surprised to see the cloned dragon dispel in a poof of smoke. "Just as I suspected." Vergil mutters under his breath. He now stares towards the second dragon in front of him.

The second dragon raises above the ground and begins to flap its wings, till it is raised at a height equal to the original. It begins to fly towards the original in hopes of reaching it to protect it. Vergil, just stares at the dragon. He knows that any of his actions from this distance would be futile. Hopefully, Nero or Xuro would be able to handle the flying dragons, as for the landed ones Vergil felt that he could help to some degree regarding those.

{5611/7000}

[Bump, HAbee ?]

[Its just gonna be me and you, Nero. Since Vergil is dead/left... I'm gonna post in reaction to Vergil post but afte this we'll just post like his not there..]

Xuro would take a deep breathe. Everything around him froze for a moment. He stared at everything now moving in slow motion. He was in a very deep predicament. His own life and also the lives of his comrades now at a huge risk. This could possibly be there end. They could die right here and now. It was definitely a do or die moment. If they 3 were to fall, it was the end of Sunagakure. The 3 strongest ninja of Sunagakure following after their Kazekage Koroshi, were keeping the village alive and keeping it protected and safe and secure. If they were to fall, this huge beast, the terror, the nightmare, the experiment gone wrong, whatever one wants to call this colossal freak of nature. It would make its way to Sunagakure and then it was the end. A destruction even more worse than the one the konoha ninja had done. All his family, his friends, his fellow citizens, they all would be dead....

Xuro thinking of this possible future received a jolt of courage. This wasn't going to happen! It won't happen! They will not fall. Xuro wouldn't fall! He wouldn't let his brothers fall! His village won't fall! They will defeat this beast, it will suffer its painful end. This beast will know not to mess with the Brotherhood of Light. He will know not to mess with Xuro Bakuton and Nero Goka. The Beast will see the Light... The Light in that instantaneous moment of explosion. "The last thing the beast will see is... The Light of my Explosion!" Xuro said to himself with shear determination to defeat this beast.


The slow motion of this event came to an end as Xuro's mind became more clearer. His eyes became focused. His revealed Sharingan eye beamed with bright crimson red gazing with its usual cold stare all around the area. Xuro original blue eye narrowed and kept focused on the beast. Not the clones but the original which he heard Vergil pick out.

He looked over at the one said where one of the beasts had been defeated by Vergil. Now only 5 remain, 4 clones and obviously the king of castle- the original beast. It was being protected as such by the other 4 clones. It was like this beast had a brain. It had plans and strategies. It had methods of defence to say the least.

Xuro was amazed at this ability. How can such a beast have so much intellect and thinking... If someone were to create a monster of destruction, it would be mindless and only programmed with the mind frame to cause destruction. It will just go and smash stuff. But this was the complete opposite. It sort of the strongest ninja and attacked them. Not only that but made them a fool by using the old shadow clone trick. That's something an intelligent ninja would do. But this beast was an exception to the rule. It was always one step ahead of them. It was tactical and cunning and now it got them in the corner. Although they in barren desert but it has them cornered... The creator of this beast had to be some genius. Some crazy, mad insane scientist, a psychopath.... Giving it such powers and abilities. Sand manipulation, flight, incredible size and power. But most importantly, he gave it an intellect, allowed it to think for itself. Gave it a mind of its own. Xuro would pretty much assume that this beast, with all the knowledge it has, all the thinking capabilities, it definitely turned on its creator. Probably killed him the second it was created. Now its free and can do whatever it wants without being controlled. It was time for the beast to do what it does best, destroy. But not just mindless destruction. It was going to do strategic destruction...

But only thing was that Xuro and Nero was standing in its way. It had to get pass them in order for it to be fully free and to do whatever it wants. But that wasn't gonna happen. It won't because Xuro and Nero would stop this beast. The only way its leaving here is by being a dead carcass or removed from existence in an explosion...


Xuro would now see it clearly. His goal to defeat this beast under all conditions. It was going down. He stood upon his mighty clay white rhino. Taking one more deep breath it was time to fight till either the beast roams free or Xuro and Nero are victorious. Xuro carefully scrutinised the situation. It wasn't a pretty one. 4 dragons standing in a straight formation guarding the original at the back. All 5 steadily floating in the air. Xuro charged head on with his Rhino at the 4 dragons. All their hands risen up causing a huge wall to arise. This wall was the abilities of the one tailed beast- Sand Manipulation. A huge heap of sand lifted from the ground and formed a solid wall 5 meters thick spreading out across all 4 of them still guarding the 1 leader behind them. They were floating about 10 meters off the ground and Xuro was still about 20 meters away from them. He slowly produced more clay from his tubes and moulded 6 birds, 3 in each hand. He then threw them in the air and performed some hand seals causing all the 6 birds to extend in size now each a meter big. All 6 took flight around Xuro as his Rhino charged at their wall. The 4 easts however couldn't see the birds but the leader could, since he was flying 20 meters above the ground. He must have notified them somehow since all of them performed some more hand actions and sprouted out huge spikes from the wall. The spikes were about 2 meters in diameter and extended 3 meters out. There were hundreds of spikes extremely sharp and were now a major factor in Xuro's attack. Xuro tried his best but he knew it wouldn't work so he thought up another plan which would be highly successful...


Xuro charged with his Rhino at the wall aiming for the centre although being the bottom of the wall since the beasts were flying and the wall was high. The rhino launching its mini rhino torpedoes at the wall. Using all five up the bottom of the centre of the wall became weaker. The spikes in that area being dispersed. Xuro then hoped on one of his birds and took off in the air. While two other birds flew to the Rhino's butt. When the Rhino was on at full speed charging, the two birds would pierce each side of his butt and explode causing a major impulse and jerking motion in the Rhino. The Rhino would leap in the air 10 meters at full speed and come crashing on the wall. The wall would break down and the Rhino would collapse on the wall and also on the two centre dragon clones dispersing them immediately and also leaving the Rhino out-of-action. While this was happening, Xuro would fly on one bird while the other 5 flew next to him. They flew over the wall and came into direction view with main dragon. The two dragons on the far sides tried to come and attack Xuro. But Xuro's 3 birds had it under control. Xuro would body flicker off the bird and in an untraceable blur of speed, he landed in the mouthof the main dragon. The birds of his would fly at full speed heading straight for the mouths of the other 2 clones dragons. 2 in each mouth. They would them fly into his stomach whereby Xuro performed the hand seals and detonated them. This would cause the two clone dragons to explode inside out and disperse immediately.


In the mean time, Xuro was right in the mouth of the beast. A very big weakness since the beast could attack him or anything. The beast tried slamming his teeth on Xuro but Xuro evaded them and stood by the back of the dragons mouth right near the throat. This would cause the dragon to seeming start choking and left him helpless on the outside. Meantime, Xuro was busy kneading some more clay. He had formed yet another C2 Rhino. He put the Rhino on the tongue of the dragon and stood on top of it. He then performed hand seals and in an instance the Rhino would shoot up in size. Xuro being positioned on the Rhino's back while its huge front Horn stabbed right through the upper pallet of the dragon. It pierced right through it and shot out through its upper head. Now the huge Rhino in its mouth causes its whole upper jaw to dislocate but it would already begin dying due to the pierced horn through its head. The huge dragon slowly lost balance and came collapsing down. Blood in the form of a green oozing substance shot out everywhere. Xuro covered full of it. The beast now laid resting down breathing its last few breathes. Xuro then jumped off his rhino and climbed out. He formed 10 mini spiders than crawled all around the dragon to detonate it. He then dashed away standing a far safe distance from the fallen beast. At the clap of his hand the last hand seal was performed causing the Rhino to explode in an instance leaving behind a huge white bright flash of light in that split second of explosion. When the smoke cleared moments later, the beast was disintegrated nothing left behind. So in the end, Xuro had made the Beast see the Light...
