The Final Step Begins![IO;NK]

[i was done with my post and it got deleted so sorry for the lazy post >.<]

Nero was nearby, on the rooftop of a close building. He jumped down to the ground, to the front of the 3 Genin. "Hello to you all." he would say, "Yukio, Raijin. I will inform you, if you do not know it already, you are now both a part of Suna Team 0, which is led by me. We will have a team meeting soon with a 3rd Genin. And Kojin, I've been informed that you're one of Kyosuke's students. Good luck with him, I do not think he is the rather... "Warm"-type, but he is a great person to be a teacher. Anyway. We are not here for this talk, are we ? Let's start... The last step. But before that, a warm up.".

Nero would grin, an scorch would come out of his hands and feet, throwing him to the skly with an enormous speed. When Nero reached the highest point possible, and before he started falling, a huge amount of scorch came out of him, bursting around and turning, creating motives and stuff, like fireworks (some blue, some green, some yellow and some red). He would scream "A Threeee Waaay BATTLE ROYAL !!!!", as these fireworks were flying. He would then fall down on his feet, and use the tree climbing technique so he would not be hurt by the fall. He would then once again straighten up and keep talking "I am the judge, of course. Now, start fighting right now. The last one to stand wins.".

[Don't mind possibly killing each other, I will save you if it is necesssary.]

yukio had finished his game of wack a mole with orochi and decided to lay on his head while he rose him in the sky "ahhh so comfy mmmm comfy time hahaha" kurai had laughed "your to relaxed and layed back my friend but i do say this is a good day hahaha "kurai looked at kojin and was very interested in his book" hey what you reading buddy can i have a peak?" kurai would be nosy and just read along with kojin " ah this is a good read hehehehe " yukio yawned and fell asleep on orochi's head and orochi lowered himself to rest as well snoring and hissing at the same time “orochi boy your snoring again “ he pouted his snout and smiled sleeping then heard a faint voice in the distance “huh nero sensai?” he looked around looking for him “so you come late and make a ghost appearance huh sensai!” he still began to look around then caught a small glimpse of him in the distance coming from a small rooftop as he came closer and closer “well well well afternoon Nero sama” nero would explain to the yukio and raijin how he was apart of his squad “oh yes we became quite very acquainted but what about our third teammate ?” nero would then explain to kojin that his sensai was very hard headed and not a push over so for him to be careful perform well “so basically your leader is a complete ass and if you screw up he will chew your ass up hahaha “ he looked at nero as his sensai had shot in the air blowing scorch from his hands and feet “you know in a certain part of the world I think what sensai is doing is copy right” yukio laughed joking about a american comic book character “raijin what is he doing is he trying to make it up to us doing a show or what” as nero was at the highest point he would descend and release a huge amount scorch in the air creating fireworks of multiple colors “um what is going on because I feel like things are about to get epic “ as he spoke nero shouted a single phrase “WAIT WHAT BATTLE ROYALE 3 WAY DUEL!” yukio snapped his fingers for kurai to come closer to him “boy set up” nero would explain that he is the judge and everything is fair game “okay fair enough soooo um yea “ he turned to raijin and kojin “well lets um get the party started you 2 “ yukio and kurai would burst off with speed and catch kojin and raijin in a cirlce “kurai boy you know the formation !” yukio performed his four legged technique to increase his speed and power and performed their jutsu claw swift wolf fang clawing and biting the two ninja with pure might !

Kojin rose an eyebrow as Kurai went over to him to read his book. He smiled a little when he complimented on the guide. "Of course it's a 'good read'! This book was written by Echo-sama himself! Truly pages of wisdom!" he grinned as he continued to read the words in his book. He snapped it shut once he saw Nero arrive as well. He did a small wave at the jounin. He had to admit, it was nice seeing him again. The boy shoved the book back into his pocket and stood straight up. "Actually, Anko-sensei is really nice! We had a team meeting the other day and he was totally awesome. Plus, that fire jutsu of his is really cool" he replied. The topic of his leader was forgotten as he saw Nero go up into the air and how scorch exploded around him.

Kojin smiled and clapped his hands at the display. It was very colorful and amazing to him. After all, stuff like that didn't happen much in the village. The smile on his face broke out into a full grin at the mention of a battle royal between the genin. "Alright, let's get ready to rumble!" he exclaimed as he put his fist into the air. It was time to show them the results of his training, he wasn't weak like the last time they had met! The boy narrowed his eyes when Yukio and Kurai started to circle him and Raijin. "Hey Rai, since this seems unfair at the moment why don't we team up?" he suggested. If Yukio and Kurai were going to work together, why couldn't he and Raijin? Before they could even slash them with their claw, he had performed his Lightning Vanishing jutsu and was outside the circle.

The genin stood a meter away from the group. He crossed his arms and started to think of ways he could attack. 'I don't want to use that move... or that one. Might just want to refrain from going over board' he thought. Kojin turned his attention back to the ninja left in the circle. He didn't have any jutsu he could use to get him free, but he wanted to see if his friend could escape. "Rai! You better get out of there!" he shouted at the Uchiha.

Raijin sat there patiently, allowing his friends to relax; he didn't want to keep blabbering about his crush. Instead he counted over the flowers in the heat. They were the most beautiful plants that so happened to belong to Sunagakure. 'You got lucky Rai. These were the last flowers in stock. It's a good thing I was there at opening time.' Raijin giggled and set the flowers on his lap. He stared into the heavens and pondered about his future. Would he be able to become the shinobi he envisioned himself becoming. Snapping out if the trance he looked at Yukio. Him and Orochi were relaxing it seemed; actually, Orochi was sleeping. How cute did that look? Kojin and Kurai were reading a book together. It was something about Echo. Maybe it was the handbook! "Hey Kojin! I have the same book!" He smiled and gestured towards his goggles, which were strapped onto the belt of his bag. Guess they were both followers of Echo the Invincible!

From a nearby rooftop Nero had jumped off, catching the Uchiha's attention. He looked delighted to see the man who had begun their training and the man who also became their sensei.. "Why hello there Nero-Sempai. It's good to know that you're going to be our sensei from here on out! Oh, do you know who that third Genin is? Or-" Looks like he was cut short for Nero had introduced the plan for today, the fourth step! Raijin watched him fly into the air, sending crackles of the colorful scorch out from beneath him. They were so beautiful! It looked like a celebration with fireworks. "Woooow." But behind this well orchastrated display was a surprise. Their warm-up was going to be a batyle royal!

Raijin looled at the other two and put on his serious face. Yeah, he wasn't going to hold anything back. "Let's do this!" He activated his Sharingan just about at the same time Yukio rushed in. The Mad Dog moved with Kurai, circling them. Kojin had suggested that they team up but this was a battle royal, not a handicap. As much as he wanted to he chose to act on his own. "Sorry Kojin but this isn't really a handicap! Kurai is a part of Yukio! They act as one!" The boy traced Yukio's movements. When Kurai and him attacked Raijin he jumped up, drawing two kunai and deflecting their claws. The force from the clash pushed Raijin away from them, where he'd continue to leap away from them two. "Not that time Yukio!"

Nero smiled. The way Kojin acted was far from Nero's point of view on the way of a ninja. "What part of "Three-Way Battle Royal" did he not understand ? There were even fireworks and shit. And he just outright tries to form a team with Raijin. 5 points from Kojin...". He was even more suprised by the way Raijin acted. "He... Does not accept it, as he was meant to, but. He just outright declines it ? God. They are still boys it seems. It is good actually, they are not dead like me and they still live, as themselves. But... That is the sacrifice ninja make. Their life is not theirs and it belongs to the village. Uhhhh. It's helpless. 10 points from Raijin.". Nero then took out a notebook and a pen, noting the points taken away from the boys. He had a few words to be spoken with them after the battle royal was over. But for now, he kept on watching this fight. He activated his sharingan to watch it more clearly, and get a clearer view on the abilities of the boys.

Yukio and kurai watched as kojin easily dodged their attack “hmmm you think that is easy huh no mind you I will get to you in a moment “ yukio had deflected raijins shurikin with his claws and smirked “nice nice I like where you two are going with this “ he smirked then heard kojin offer raijin a partnership “so now we are forming alliances now I am going to get at you now kojin, you have another thing coming! “ yukio grew angry and lightning would surround his body out of anger. Each jolt grew fiercely around his body “yukio calm down my brother remember anger is the ninja's worse enemy it will blind you and defeat you “ yukio calmed down and looked at kurai “thank you are right “ orochi would stand by nero side cheering the boys on with his tail shaking the rattle and hissing “nice we have a fan now enough talk “ kurai would jump on his back as yukio performed the man beast clone techniqiue “lets go boy!” as one yukio and kurai would charge at raijin and kojin. Yukio would fight kojin while kurai would take on raijin fighting them hand to hand at first. At the last second they both would flip back away from their opponents and perform tunneling fang at first appearing to hit them forward and then curve their bodies to actually hit them upwards “thats great boy now for the final blow!!” if they could not hit their opponents upwards they had a counter measure to hit them with their combination jutsu! “now lets do it WOLF FANG HEAVEN!” they would hit their opponents upward with their increased power and speed clawing and slashing and biting till they came to a close and criss cross slash their opponents down. The two ninja would land on their feet and watch kojin and raijin “we are not the same as before we have brushed our skills time and time again but something is bothering me that I have noticed about you two.....you guys are holding back! If this was a real battle to the death you guys would probably be dead based on the fact that you do not want to show off all your moves, the objective of the mission is to win with your team in tact holding back would mean you cost one of your teammates life now would you feel about that!” kurai looked at yukio and wondered what had gotten into him “raijin I know dam well you are better than this becaused I trained with you so I know you have something up your sleeve I mean for god sake we have the same power you and I! “ yukio and kurai would once again charge at their opponents with more power and aggression in a attempt to kill just as nero had instructed them to do!”ahhhh!!!!!!” the battle had just begun and their powers were not yet at their peak no one knew what to expect from these boys at all

Kojin scratched the back on his head and nodded at Raijin's reply. "I see.. okay! I totally understand Raijin. Guess we'll just have to go our own ways" he replied to the Uchiha. The boy started to think about how to attack while Yukio was still busy with Raijin. He pulled his goggles over his eyes and continued to watch the fight until he saw Yukio's body get surrounded by lightning. He rose and eyebrow, but shrugged at the matter. 'Lightning must be his second element then. No biggy' he thought. He quickly settled into a fighting stance when Yukio charged at him. He managed to dodge some of the Inuzuka's attacks and fought equally with him, until the other genin back flipped away from him. Using this chance, Kojin immediately performed three hand signs and a cloud of smoke surrounded him.

One both sides of Kojin were solid clones of himself, each of them smirking. Two of the Kojins narrowly dodged Yukio's attack, each one of them going into different directions. The Kojin on the right, unfortunately, got caught in Yukio's wolf fang heaven technique, and was destroyed with an audible *pop*. "Ah, crap!" the original yelled as he leaped to where the other clone was located. They nodded at each other and charged towards Yukio. The original jumped into the air and landed behind the Inuzuka while the clone kept charging. Kojin aimed a simple elbow to Yukio's back and his shadow clone tried to punch Yuki's face. He wondered if Raijin was also going to attack, or just fight Kurai. It was also possible that the Uchiha could attack him.

All these thought's had the genin on edge. Kojin wasn't used to a free-for-all, mostly used to sparring only one opponent. It seemed he was going to have to get used to something like this if he was going to become a better ninja...

(OOC: I'm kinda eh on this post, sorry if I did anything wrong. Tell me and I'll edit.)

{WC: 319}

Raijin simply nodded, "Indeed Kojin! Good luck! Same to you Yukio!" The boy crouched down, watching them from an angle where he had everyone in his line of sight. Seemed like Kojin's idea of forming an alliance had angered Yukio. Unfair tactics weren't tolerated by him and Raijin knew that well; but they were shinobi and a shinobi would do anything to win. [i]'There goes that electricity. Now if only he could control himself.' He waited patiently for an attack to come his way. To Raijin's surprise, Kurai was the one who was going to be challenging Raijin. The dog went straight at him to attack with claws, kicks, punches, you name it! Raijin's Sharingan tracked every move, allowing Raijin to easily block his attacks. "You've grown stronger in close combat Kurai! I like that!" At the last second Kurai performed a back-flip to get away from the Uchiha. What were they planning now? [i]'I've been training with you for some time now! I'm pretty sure I know what's coming up!"

Holding a hand seal he waited for the expected attack to reach him before he substituted, replacing himself with a nearby boulder in the sand. The rock was easily shattered by the duo's attack. Itcwasn't surprising. "Nice one." He stood there and watched Kojin and his clone attack Yukio. That only left Kurai as a target, for now. Raijin glanced at the attacking Kurai and moved in as well, jumping up to hit him with a kick to the chest. This was only the beginning of the battle. What was to come would level the entire grounds.

Nero could not help but sigh again and again multiple times, only these times mentally so he did not demoralise the Genin ninja. With his activated sharingan Nero could easily and clearly observe the technique used by the Inuzuka member between the 3 participants of the battle royal. He observed how the chakra was molded, then how nature manipulation and shape manipulation soon occured. The sharingan with three tomoes easily scanned the technique. As another user of the Lightning element, Nero could now be able to use the same technique if it would have been needed. "I see.. okay! I totally understand Raijin. Guess we'll just have to go our own ways". "Indeed Kojin! Good luck! Same to you Yukio!". Nero could hardly keep himself from sighing twice more. It was not the way of a ninja from Nero's opinion. He noted to be taking 10 more points from each of the boys, whereas he would give Yukio another 20 points.

The winner of the battle royale was not going to be the one last standing. No. It was going to be the one that had most points written down when the battle ended (and of course, to be the last one standing would bring a lot of points too). It was not if they won or not n the end, it was how they did it, if they did it right, if they followed Nero's previous lessons. Nero was also impressed by the way the boys were fighting now. "They sure have developed themselves since our last meeting..." he has thought to himself, when he realised his time was being wasted while he was baldly watching the fight. He decided to make use of the time he was going to spend until the battle royal ended, so he decided to get started with his own training that was the invention of a new technique that was at first seen hard to achieve by the Goka clan leader, though nowadays he knew just how he could do it. While the boys were fighting, Nero was working on the circulation, the rotation part of the shape manipulation that this new technique was going to possess. "Oh, it is going to be a great technique that will be talked and used long after this day, if I manage to realise this plan.". He molded his chakra, and started the rotation. The sharpness part of the shape manipulation was going to come some time later, and the nature manipulation, that was the last point of the creation, was going to come after that. By the time, Nero has only molded chakra in his hand that he started to rotate, controlling the chakra.
