The Final Step Begins![IO;NK]

Kojin grinned a bit when Yukio was surprised by his jutsu. "What? It's one of the cool jutsus I learned" he replied. His attacks on he Inuzuka missed since Yukio had replaced himself with a boulder. Unfortunately, his clone had tripped over it and was going straight for the original. Kojin sighed and caught his clone, almost tripping on his feet in the process. "Thanks" the clone mumbled. The genin nodded his head and helped his clone stand up again. He performed a single hand sign and his doppelganger disappeared in a cloud of smoke. The Shadow Clone jutsu was handy, but he could use it later on. It required you to split your chakra evenly between your clones, that was the only part the boy disliked a lot. He was lucky that he had a lot of chakra to spare.

Kojin grit his teeth once he saw his opponents coming for him. "If that's how it's going to be then fine! I'm going to go all out Yukio!" he exclaimed. Before the duo came close enough, he already started to activate his Denki Bodi. His hair began to spike up slightly, and his eyes turned into a bright yellow. Lightning soon started to spark around his body. "Let's go!" he shouted. He silently groaned in annoyance once he saw Yukio plant smoke bombs around the area. He honestly had gotten sick of this tactic, but was going to deal with it. The boy quickly pulled out his Kunai to counter the slashes his opponents sent as him. Using his speed boost, Kojin dashed to the left still blocking attacks with his weapon. The genin eventually made it out of the smoke and put away the kunai in his hand.

'Those things only cover the area so far...' he thought. Thinking his opponents were still in the smoke, Kojin pulled out an explosive tag and threw it in the last spot Yukio and Kurai had attacked him. The boy pulled out another explosive tag and held it in his left hand. He kept an eye on Raijin as well, just in case he tried something on him.

{WC: 359}

Raijin found himself kicking Yukio instead of Kurai. 'How'd he? Damn.' Stuck in the air he had no way to maneuver fromYukio. The boy's ankle was grabbed by Yukio, making him an easy target for Kurai's Fang Over Fang jutsu. What more could the boy do now? He was going to have to take the hit! Raijin held out his arms to block his face and was drilled into the ground by Kurai. "Ugh!" When it was all over he was left there in the small crater, his clothes a bit ripped. If that were Rotating Fang Over Fang he would have been done for. "Damnit...I need to get back into this " The boy turned over and stood up from the sand. Now was his chance to step it up himself and begin his attack on the two Genin, who were currently battling each other. 'So they're forgetting about me eh?'

Raijin moved in closer, watching them go at it with their attacks. Amazing how they were able to clash in the smoke! The Uchiha decided to move in the direction from which Kojin had exited the smoke cloud. He performed hand seals and released a black smoke into the area. This smoke had blanketed the area and unlike a regular smoke bomb carried some abilities. [i]'Now that I have them there.' Raijin, to escape the smoke himself, took some leaps back. He was closer to the exit anyways because he directed the gas in front of him. Once he was out he crouched down, now observing the field. Maybe they needed something more to deal with! He went through more hand seals and expelled several fireballs into the smoke, hoping to catch the boys with this attack.

Ash Cloud Technique and Fire Phoenix Jutsu were used.

Nero's sharingan was stil observing the fight. After all, there needed to be a fair judgement. The Lightning Release Jutsu used by the boy named Kojin especially drove his attention. "Interesting..." he has thought to himself, "A supplementary Raiton technique... An armor of lightning release chakra ? Hmmm... That seems useful. I can use that some time later, I suppose. Hmmm... Now that I think about it, a technique this... 'Advanced' would probably require Lightning as one's affinity, and not an additional element. Anyway, I suppose I would not require such a thing anyway, I am more of a long-range fighter, am I not ? Now... Let's see how the other are doing.". Nero would then watch as the Uchiha create a dragon out of fire. "Oh !" Nero thought, "Me Likey Likey !!!". He copied the technique with his sharingan, like the way he has copied the Raiton technique used by the Inuzuka. "That should come in andy some time.".

He then returned to his own training. "Anyway." he has thought to himself. The molding of the chakra and adding the rotation as the Shape Manipulation did not take long until Nero easily mastered it. "Now..." he thought once again, "It is the time to go for the second part: The Shape manipulation of sharpness. Hmmm... Should I try it seperately first, or should I try adding it to the rotation ? I think I should go step by step, shouldn't I ? Okay. Then only sharpness it is.". He then once again molded chakra around his hand. "Hmmmm. Now. How to add the sharpness ? Where to add the sharpness to ? Should I shape it as a blade, a knife, that is sharp on the side and perhaps the end, but not over my hand itself ? Or should I shape it as a cone, that is sharp at the and only the tip, when the sides and the chakra around my hand would be too weak to harm an opponent ? Hmmm. Since I amgoing to add the wind chakra already, and that it has to match with rotation, I suppose the cone shape would be better. I mean, a rotation would not be well-suited with a blade shape. But it would be better with a cone. Oh. Perhaps I can make it like a "driller". Yes. That would be good. Thousands of little wind blades going over each other, rotating around my hand, becoming less and less, and smaller and smaller towards the tip of my middle finger, and there is an edge on the end. Yes. I suppose that would work out as the best situation possible.".

Nero grinned. If the boys have seen him like that, they probably wouldn't have known what he was smiling for, and would have found that either stupid or perhaps, creepy. But Nero was sure they were focused on the fight more than the judge. He once again molded chakra around his hand, and started the rotation. A while later, when he put the rotation into a well tempo, he started to manipulate the shape of this spiralling sphere even further so it was not a sphere anymore, an a cone that possessed a rotation, a driller of pure chakra around Nero's hand. Of course, the chakra itself was not enough. In this form, it wouldn't have caused any damage to a target. It was time add the final touch. It was time to infuse the chakra with wind. It was time to pass the last step of the creation; adding the Nature Manipulation into the form. It wouldn't have been a lot hard for Nero anyway. Just like how the Lightning Release armor-like technique was too advanced for Nero to use since Lightning was not his affinity; this infusion would have been as easy for him, Wind being his main element, as well as an element that added up with Fire to create the Scorch Release, the signature of Goka, and the Jounin shinobi's clan element. Nero focused on the rotation and the sharpness. They needed to be perfect so it did not scatter once Nero infused it with his main element. Seconds later, the form started losing its raw-chakra appearance, that seemed like only a blue aura; and it startyed gaining a form that was more solid, and that was more... Alive... It could now clearly be seen. The technique... It was finally invented. Nero smiled, showing his teeth. He could hardly keep his arm where it stood, this "driller" trying to drill the air and push Nero forwards.

"Finally done." he has thought to himself, his heart beating faster after the feeling of victory.

[um its been there for a while it says yukio stats]

Yukio and kuari's technique was blocked again by kojin in some unknowing fashion :/. how did kojin know where they were going to attack, as well as how did kojin know to block his front and back side so easily with no sharingan like raijin :/ “dam it once again he knows things before we do it”kurai noticed a bright light in the smoke. It had to be kojin using a lightning jutsu they have not heard of “yukio be prepared for anything move okay brother “ yukio and kurai backed out of the smoke then noticed a explosion in the smoke and the blast wave sent them back a few meters further “ow what the hell, was that a explosive tag!” he check kurai “boy are you okay?” he nodded and they readied themselves again. Kurai then noticed the smoke was larger than it should be once they had exited the fray “yukio something does not feel right why is this smoke larger then usual did you use more then one smoke bomb?”just as he spoke kurai and yukio felt a strong sense of heat “kurai looked out!” the ninja's then separated quickly as the area around was being target by several fire balls “the fuck raijin and his dam Phoenix flower jutsu!” the explosions from the fire balls did not hit them directly but the impact into the ground sent ruble at yukio and kurai striking their bodies. Yukio deflected some with his kunai but his legs were hit pretty bad “fuck its bruised pretty bad!” kurai and yukio noticed kojin trapped in the unusual enlarged smoke “kurai where is raijin!” kurai scanned the area to look for raijin while they both protected their body. Yukio pulled out explosive tags of his own and wrapped them around his shurikan throwing several into the smoke and igniting them hoping to catch kojin in the blast” kurai I have a idea “yukio created simple clones in the smoke to confront kojin in a confusion to stall him while each attack from yukio and raijin would attempt to attack him. After wards yukio would gather chakra into his feet to run up a tree and gain ground to over see the fight area “ yukio can you see anything up there?” yukio scanned and noticed a small speck in the distance “their you are raijin!” he threw kunai and shurikan at him from a distance since he is distracted on kojin

Kojin threw the explosive tag in his hand near the spot where he last spotted Raijin before even more smoke covered the area. He coughed once he accidentally inhaled some of it. "Aw man, even more smoke? This is ridiculous" he mumbled, very annoyed with his view of things being tampered with. However, this could work to his advantage as well. The boy could always do a surprised attack, but his opponents might as well. This thought troubled him very much. "Alright, I guess this gives me time to plan something. Better be on my toes though" he said so only himself could hear. Unfortunately, he felt a weird heat coming towards him and leaped to the right. The fireball Raijin had sent at him hit the ground and exploded, sending him a few feet back. 'Dammit Raijin!' he thought.

Thinking they must know where he currently was, Kojin dashed towards the closest exit of the smoke. However, yet another explosion threw him another few feet in the other direction. 'I know that one wasn't Raijin... must have been Yukio' he thought with a frown. He groaned in annoyance again once he saw clones of Yukio coming for him. He took out a kunai and easily cut through them, one by one. "So all of them were clones" he mumbled. Another explosion sent him flying again, causing a small scrap on his elbow. The genin quickly stood to his feet, jumped out of the smoke and landed near the entrance of the training grounds. He turned to face the large cloud of gas and made a face at it. "Beast Tearing Palm" he mumbled. He then applied chakra to his right hand and swiped a large wave of wind at the smoke, clearing whatever was in front of it.

Without moving his hands, he made sure the wave stayed 18 meters away from him and made it go in different directions. He spotted Raijin and a small speck in a tree from where he was standing and lightly smirked to himself. Kojin threw 2 shuriken at the speck with his left hand, thinking he wasn't close enough to use the wave on him. Instead, he made the wave of wind head for the Uchiha's right side, hoping it would be successful.

{WC: 383}

All was going well! Raijin's smoke had brought in a bit of confusion for the two. The boy smirked and stood there watching his fireballs fall into the cloud and begin sending rubble flying about upon contact with the ground. "Wow! This is getting pretty good." Flames were occupying the area inside the smoke. There was also a little coughing heard in the smoke. Someone must have inhaled the smoke! Just who exactly? Somehow, there were more explosions going on! Was someone else using fire techniques? No, impossible! Yukio did not have any fire styles of that level. He's been training with him twenty-four seven to know this! 'So what exactly is going on now? Wait a minute! Bomb tags? So it must be Yukio doing this!' All eyes wrre on this cloud of smoke; shit was going down inside there and Raijin wanted to know what exactly! Too bad he wasn't able to see their chakra signatures because his smoke was composed of his chakra. "Well isn't that nice."

The smoke before him suddenly began moving away. As if some kind of unseen force was pushing it away. Raijin was confused for a second until he realized that Kojin was the cause of this. Kojin was waving his hands and somehow was moving the gas away. What the heck was that!? He then caught site of Yukio jumping into a tree from his peripheral. Distance was a key in this battle, so Raijin was going to play that game. The boy jumped from his previous location, noticing that projectiles were coming his way. Once he landed he quickly made cut to the right, avoiding the projectiles. At the same Kojin made another attempt to attack, sending a wave of wind at Raijin. Except he was controlling this without any movement. 'Pretty good technique! I have to remember to ask him how he got it.' The boy held his ground and performed hand seals, expelling two large dragon heads made of fire. One traveled through the air in a straight path on its way to Kojin. The other was sent in the direction of the incoming wave of wind, clashing with the wind and being powered by it! Raijin manipulated the second to close in on Kojin from his left. Raijin wasn't done yet! He turned to Yukio and jumped in his direction, swinging his arms back and releasing the third fireball like a lion's roar.

The boy would begin panting slowly after the use of the technique. "Take that...Heh."

Great Dragon Fire Technique

[This is Nero, js]

Nero was impressed by the way Kojin had used the projectile-like Wind release technique. "It is rare for both a boy his age and his rank to master two elements. A shame that he is Anko's student, and not mine. Hmmm... Perhaps he would be interested in being a recruitment to the brotherhood of light.". Nero touched his right arm's outer side to make sure his Brotherhood of Light headband was still there, under the Sunagakure headband. "And Raijin and Yukio too of course..." he kept thinking, "none of those three yet have the talent to be a captain, nor are they as advanced as our old members but they all have their potential. Our power is weak as an organisation. Whatever happened to our old puppeeter, and the new one, Hirako too. Our members just mysteriously keep disappearing. First Kiyamo, our posion specialist and old puppeteer, then our Hyuuga clan member captain and very close friend Vergil. Damn it. Anyway. Focus on the present Nero. You can not possibly live the past again, can you ?". After giving it some thought for a while, Nero smiled again, "No. But perhaps I won't have to...". Nero gave Kojin and Raijin 10 point each for the way they were fighting and took 10 points from Yukio. "You know Yukio." Nero would have then said, "You will have to do better to finish the battle, or we're going to be here forever.".

Yukio observed the fight and kurai scanned the ground. He could hear the complaining for kojin as his attack had hit him someone or effected him “hahaha dum ass “ as he smoke he noticed kojin shooting off kunai at him while he kojin also used a unknown wind technique to clear the huge smoke clouds and attack raijin. Yukio barely deflected the shurikan since they were all so sudden but managed and grabbed them in the air “i am going to borrow these hehe” in a instant a large fire ball was coming. It had a lot of power to back it up and roared through the sky “wait what the fuck !” yukio had no choice but to leap out of the tree fast as it came down bursting into flames. Small embers from the tree hit kurai and yukio “ow ow fuck!!! raijin!” kurai and yukio angered at raijin bursted off in a wind of speed. Since kojin was being targeted at raijin and vice versa they would distracted by one another jutsu “kojin has had enough punishment your going to get it!!!” as they ran past kojin and avoided the after math of his wind technique as well as raijin fire balls towards kojin ! “raiiiiijiiin!!!!”kurai and yukio picked up speed. Since kojin had used a attack on raijin and raijin had to retaliate yukio would use this opportunity to attack him with his most powerful inuzuka technique! “take this rajin!!!! Fang rotating fang !” yukio and kurai spun their bodys forward into a buzz saw like form cutting roughly into the ground splitting it wide open! Yukio and kurai would attempt to ram into raijin and after would push off the ground and continue their course towards kojin since their jutsu either collided or kojin dodged it so he would be wide open for a attack as well” we are coming for you kojin!!!!” they would push towards him very close to a impact” ahhh!!!!!” their buzz saw like attack would be powerful enough to deflect any incoming projectiles!

Kojin sighed once he saw the fire dragon's coming towards him. He really should have known better than to use a wind technique, but it was his first time and he wanted to test it out. He never seen that technique Raijin used though, it was very interesting to him. He narrowed his eyes once he saw Yukio come back onto the battle field with Kurai. The boy simply used Body Flicker to dodge the attacks and appear behind a boulder. The rock was large enough to cover his shadow so he wouldn't have to worry much. 'They should be able to see me soon enough though. Crap' he thought. He put a hand on his chest and took a deep breath. His insides were burning, it felt like they were melting even though they weren't. "Dang, why did I have to go and breath in that smoke" he silently complained. Kojin even added a face palm at his stupid mistake.

The genin peeked at the battle field and saw the fire dragons collide with each other, causing a large explosion. His eyes widened a bit before he sat back down. "I really need to rest my chakra" he mumbled. He was positive Yukio's attack on him had missed since he had Body Flickered out of the way. The only thing to do now was recover and see how his opponent's will react. He even has a few ideas to dodge some attacks.
