Within the Abyss {P,NK}

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe it is best for us to show our hatred to the others, and now that I think about it, even if the village were to be revived, it would not have any of its original inhabitants..." He pauses shortly before continuing, "I really like Tengakure no Sato, though it isn't as fun as Kiri mainly because it seems too peaceful for comfort at times. I guess I can blame my laziness on the fact that life is so easy here. Don't you think so?"

"Peace is the enemy of battle. Without battle, you can't improve your fighting proficiency.. It is fun to stay in Tengakure No Sato for a short while, but it exceeds it's usefulness as a place of relaxation and becomes a burden very quickly if you can not balance your activities." He looked off to the side from the roof, peering at the distance from which he could fall.

"I agree, I think I've lost a bit of my edge from staying here for so long. Even in places like this war is still inevitable, eventually it will happen, but I'm afraid when it does we as a village, will not be prepared." Kenchi says this with calmness, and absolute concern for the village of Tengakure. He was deeply concerned with the villages security, and their experience as-well. Hopefully this would be dealt with soon.

The demon's eyes widened momentarily, betraying his confusion to Kenchi. It took him a few seconds to reply, "You are afraid of a village you do not belong to's demise?" It was clear that the way of the bloody mist was evaporating from Kenchi, sad news, but it was inevitable.

Kenchi finds himself stunned for a few seconds, due to the mans response. "My allegiance now lies with Tengakure No Sato and as a member of the ANBU, it is my duty to protect it 'till my dying breath. Have you forgotten the place that brought you Sanctuary in your moment of despair? This is the village that let us in, with open arms, don't tell me you've forgotten so quickly." After saying this he glares intensely at Xyxer, his hand instinctively falling onto the handle of his sheathed ANBU sword. A natural defense mechanism of his. He measures the distance of a meter between them before continuing. "I understand what you're thinking, but Kirigakure is gone. It'll never return. The only thing left for the few of us is the the blood which flows through our veins, that of beasts. The strongest, and most ruthless of them all. That is all we have..."

The look of confusion quickly transfused into one of unbridled rage, unsheating his ANBU sword once more he aimed it at Kenchi, looking over the back of the blade towards him. "This village was not our saviour, mewling quim. Sameonna Hoshigaki was, and her blood stains the grounds around here. This village was the demise of the second greatest shinobi to ever come out of Kirigakure. Soon, it will be stained with yours." He frowned once more twisting the sword in the air as if he was trying to disect Kenchi with his eyes, "You seem to believe yourself superior to me now, Kenchi. You seem to feel the need to try and educate me. I wonder, is your brain as disfigured as your body is about to become?" And with that last sentence, he moved at a jog towards Kenchi, sending his foot towards his head in a testing manner.

Kenchi listens to the man's barbaric rant, before finally responding. "I guess we'll have to find out then, won't we?" After he finishes this sentence, he notices the man's approach. Kenchi immediately enters a quick-draw stance. His right hand now holding the hilt of the ANBU blade, while the mid-section of the sheathe is gripped tightly in his left hand. His first thought was to simply catch the man's foot, but he ruled this out, as he was sure the man had a few tricks up his sleeve. Similar to the one earlier where Xyxer seemingly teleported. Taking note of this, he decides to use his sword. Something he was more comfortable with anyway. So, he waits until instant the man's foot enters his range, then Kenchi lashes out. His sword leaving the sheathe with the swiftness of an expert, creating a faint ringing sound. The sword, moving at full speed, is on path to sever the foot of Xyxer if he doesn't dodge.

Naturally, Xyxer was not unprepared when he had sent his foot in such a blatant attack, and he did expect retaliation. That was why, as soon as he had heard a faint ringing he had activated his plan; three thin senbon-like needles forged of water seemingly appearing two feet from the man's foot, roughly one foot from the males head, they were aiming to hit the male directly in his eyes with the middle one hitting him directly in his forehead if he was not to dodge it. Xyxer could lose his foot, but he was in comfort knowing that his adversary would lose his life.

As expected, it would not be so easy to harm Xyxer. This was evident by the three needles coming towards him, aiming to kill him if he did not dodge, and abandon his attack on the man's foot. So, faced with no other choice besides death, Kenchi withdraws his blade from the Xyxer's foot. Pulling it towards the path of the needles, he would attempt to cut them in half before they reach his eyes, and forehead.

If he was successful, which seemed highly likely due to the speed his blade was moving in comparison to the needles, he would immediately begin his next attack. Which is a simple slash attempt across the man's torso from right to left. While this slash is being performed, Kenchi draws a kunai from his ninja pouch on his left hip, with his left hand. The kunai in his hand serves to parry whatever weird projectiles Xyxer may send his way.

He could hardly see it, but he saw the faint splash of water and he knew something had interfered with the needles he had sent. "That should be game over." He stated, although he allowed the needles to dissipate instead of continuing as they could do. Xyxer enjoyed playing with his meals. Seeing the seemingly slower slash, he stepped back from it simply, allowing the man to hit thin air, although he unsheathed his blade should he step forward to him during the slash. His other hand moved down onto a kunai, unsheathing it in his spare hand as he stepped forwards once more with a simple thrust to the male's right shoulder with the kunai held in his left hand.
