What does the fox say?

Koroshi wanting nothing more then to end the person in front of him, flings himself through the air as if he was shot from a cannon, his body being projecting at his full speed stat, so by the sheer speed alone would cause Koroshi not to hear anything that is around him or that is said, picture opening the window of an air plane and trying to hear the person next to you. due to this any sound that would be made from the robe would go unheard, thus canceling out the Genjutsu, as you cannot effect the target with audio based Genjutsu unless they can hear you, with this being said Koroshi would continue like a bullet through the air, unhindered as he aims for the mans chest. Seeing the man move his air up to defend it as he forms the Susano'o around it, does not stop Koroshi in his goal to take the man down, along with the newly freed demon. If no other actions are done in this very short time frame, and Maku's actions remain the same, then Koroshi's foot would strike the mans forearm, Koroshi's strength being higher then the Susano'o's, his arm is forced inward toward the man who summoned it. Due to the health of the armor being 200, and the total sharpness of the claws being 247, it would stab through the armor, thus piecing through not only it, but the mans right shoulder, thus stopping any attack he had planned with that arm. The kick itself after making impact with the mans arm would cause a very loud crack, filling the battle field with a sonic boom as an unstoppable force, makes the unbreakable object.


Koroshi right after the kick, and while the sonic boom is still echoing loudly through the battle field, kicks off the man's arm, pushing it deeper into his shoulder to the point it is almost going all the way through, before Koroshi launches himself the the other direction, having already built up his max speed by preforming his Taijutsu move, Koroshi goes at max speed away from him for 20 feet, before landing on the ground in a run, to which he would then try to circle around, attempting to flank Maku from his wounded right flank. Once getting there, which would only take a matter of seconds, Koroshi would begin to unleash a flurry of punches toward him, his very fist catching fire due to the speed in which these punches are taking place, a total of 31 are thrown, each one ripping through the air as if an eagle was screeching loudly due to the speed, as well as making a loud sonic boom for each time the hit lands on the man. The first ten being aimed for the mans wounded shoulder, hoping to injure him even more to cause him to stop fighting, while the second ten aims for the mans ribs, hoping to break as many as her can, and finally, the third group of ten would be aimed for the makes face, being thrown at him from mainly Koroshi's left hand so that he can hit the man dead on, on the center of the mans face, before one punch that seems to be drawn back more then the rest, lands on the mans face, hitting him square on the nose, before sending him flying toward the 9 tails demon behind him. Should everything go as planned the mans armor would be shattered, and his body being broken and on fire, due to the heat that was coming off each punch, as well as the sheer force of Koroshi hate and desire being put into each punch.


(7th gate, second turn, EMS 4th, plus Morning Peacock, totaling in 180 actions used. Koroshi speed and striking force when using these two 210 speed, 215 strength should be enough to break the armor, as well as the mans body. Claw sharpness is 150, sharpness buff from my speed and strength kicking it into your chest would be 96.25, rounded up makes 97, thus making the total sharpness 247. Strength of my kick being 195 against the Susano'os 150 making it so the defending arm would be kicked backwards into your chest, atop any logical bonus' given due to the kick moving at 190 speed as well.

extra about genjutsu breaking:

)

Failure, it was an inevitability. Like breathing, or gravity, or when you have a hankering for chips so you walk to the supermarket in the rain, just to get there and notice a line.....then you wait in that line and find out they are all out of chips. Yes indeed, inevitable. Wait what was I talking about?

O yea, failure comes for everyone at one point or another, and in the life of a shinobi there is but one thing you can pray for. When you meet failure it doesn't result in your death. This was one of those moments when Maku had to deal with his own failure, and while internally he could feel his heart race, it wasn't from the prospect of death, but the excitment of life. This was what he had always lived for, the thrill that only putting your life on the line could bring. Flirting with death, flirting with the prospect of being defeated no matter what he may try. Honestly, he was having so much fun if everything went well he'd have to buy Koroshi a drink after.

His genjutsu for whatever reason had failed. His attempts at tai, as he should have known, had failed. Now it was time to pay the piper. The kick connected and the sound was practically deafening. His arm thrust back his own blades bit into his armor. As this occured, Cracks splintered from the impact. Koroshi was playing the tentative foot, and Maku the thin ice on a lake. Splintering throughout, Maku felt the force jar him to his core. One thing was obvious, this could not occur again.

The fangs had pierced the susano'o, and bit into him. While his armor beneath the susano'o kept him from actually taking significant danger, it still hurt and his face would become a grimice. He was certain that within the sound of the impact had been the slightest cracking of his forearm. Nothing to stop him, but nonethless he would be surprised if there at least wasn't a hairline fracture running down his ulna. The crimson of his eyes held Koroshi in his view, and a split second before it happened he knew what he was going to do.

The power of prediction, watching the opponent's body, their muscels, the fine details of their movements, this was what he most appreciated with his eyes he had gained in the cold of Yukigakure. The way his thigh tensed, the way he was prepared it was clear to Maku in an instant that he was about to use his arm as a springboard. Which wasn't cool, if there was going to be spring boards there better be girls in bikini's jumping into pools, and lets face it...Koroshi and Kurama are no girls in bikinis.

As Maku saw him prepare to jump, and could feel the coil he would vanish into thin air (290speed). Well to be honest, he departed that plane entirely and moved himself into the in-between that he had created for himself. His robes sliding his body away, preventing him from being used. Never let someone turn your body into their tool, a valuable lesson.

This was for a singular and very simple purpose. To disrupt the momentum and end all the sonic booms. As long as all this occured, then the action to spring board off Maku would end, and seeing as his initial momentum had been stopped by colliding with the Susano'o, and no stimulus to spring off of, Koroshi's foot should extend into nothing and leave him suspended in air.

As soon as he entered the in-between Maku blinked forward 5 meters to be behind him. Then he would re-enter the world. This would all occur at almost the same moment. (This is due to 290 to enter, blinking mastered and doing it instantly, and then coming back into the world at 290.) Koroshi suspended 5 feet in the air Maku hoped he would have the chance to land a deffinitive strike. (I got that number cause Maku is only 5''4' so it is reasonable to say he is 5 feet based on the previous details).

The sonic boom would have ended, and Maku's left hand already at the level of his eye would move the short distance to reach behind him and grab his hilt at max speed (150). The moment his fingers graced the hilt of his blade a loud blast of music would occur. Even if the sonic boom was still echoing the sound of the sword would soon overcome the deadening echos before his fall could take him to the ground. This one was for you Koroshi, it was your song. Should this happen, then the world around them would seem to disolve, the mountain scape quickly traded for something far diffrent.

Around them where there had been mountains would be waterfalls. Maku's most powerful genjutsu, created as a boy when he had first learned of the Uchiha's prowess in genjutsu. His entire being would be behind it just as it had been when he had created it. Koroshi and Maku would be sitting cross legged across from eachother. Unable to move, Koroshi could only sit locked in his position confined to the genjutsu. "Now, like I said before we could just chat. Names Maku boss."

Together just the two men would be. A small grassy island over a monstrous waterfall. The water splashing up, almost refreshing after the excertion. The rumble of moving water, Maku would wait and see what the man in front of him would have to say.

(So I'm on my phone atm. Will add links to abilities and item used as well as AP expenditure as soon as I have a comp)

This is what I move should have been The human body as far as height, most of it is judged by the legs, someone being 5'4 their legs would be 3 feet of it, from the toe to the hip. The center of someones chest if they were 5'4 would roughly be 4 feet even. Koroshi in this case since he is 7 feet tall, and with the legs taking up more the half of the height, would be 4 feet, being that half of 7 is 3.5. Where as half of 5.4 would be 2.7 feet. All of this math and measurements having a point mind you, because if Maku is indeed 5'4 then his center chest would roughly be 4 feet, Koroshi's legs would be roughly 4 feet long, Koroshi once Maku is no longer there, having teleported behind him, Koroshi is going to kick the ground as hard as he can with his right leg by twisting his body while in mid air,  Koroshi moving at his top speed when he does this action, which would happen before Maku is able to draw his sword from his sheath, thus making a very loud boom and destroying the ground under him. This would cause yet another defining shock wave of sound to echo across the battle field, drowning out any other sound,  while sending Koroshi flying upward, away from the battle because of the force that he had hit the ground with "190". 

While Koroshi is soaring upward the thoughts of his training with Viper seem to run through his head, how he trained using ninjutsu, and mastering the element of wood, he spent a long time training, and perfecting this new art, and the new jutsu that came with it, but one thing keeps replaying and Echoing in Koroshi mind "You can't protect people with Taijutsu alone"  
These were the words of his brother Viper, he told him that in order to gain more power, and to be able to protect the people that he cared about, Koroshi would have to expand his abilities.  So as soon as he begins to rocket upwards Koroshi hands begin to move rapidly as he begins to form hand signs and charge his Chakra. within moments very large trees begin to shoot up from the ground after Koroshi, and Maku. the trees growing their max distance of 65 meters out from Koroshi position in all directions, blanketing the field, while the tress themselves grow 55 meters in height, this all happening in the matter of seconds as the trees grow at 100 speed. While the trees are forming and growing, Koroshi continues to form hands seals, dumping a lot of his chakra into this next assault, so that he can end the fight with his new foe, as well as catch the 9 tails. from the trees two wood clones form, from the trees nearest Koroshi, each of them the moment after they are formed shout loudly the following "7th gate OPEN!" Before their forms begin to flow with Ki, before each of them kicking off of the tree that they were made from, and would head toward Maku's position within the trees, while Koroshi himself goes toward where he saw the 9 tails beast, he would once again flow his KI and Chakra into himself to launch himself toward the beast, extending his right foot toward him, attempting to land a serious blow on the beast, so that he can drag it back to his brothers world, making sure that if he fails in defeating Maku, that the beast will be trapped, and the world will be safe.

Finger tips a hairs length from his hilt the sound of the crashing limb was immediately evident.  While the susano'o armor continued to protect him from the majority of the damage, a slight trickle of wetness that could only be blood could be felt dripping from his ears.  Hopefully after all this was over he would actually be able to hear the world again, instead of the muffled mess it currently was.  

His fingers would halt as the blast occurred, stopping himself from using his weapon.  Instead both hands would quickly come together at 150 speed.  An odd seal formed, specifically of Maku's own creation.  The golden armor immediately evaporating as his hands clasped.  With no overlap where golden fire had been, a soft blue glow now resided over his flesh.  The trees would be approx. just under 10 meters at this time.  

Reacting as quickly as he could his fingers would slide from the custom seal to one of confrontation (130spd, 290reaction time).  Perhaps such a seal should have been used before this, as neither man could have guessed what a confrontation this would have developed into.  While his fingers slid into the new seal from Maku's eye dark tears would fall as they had done in his confrontation with Echo.  The blackened fire shot down his cheeks and begin to cover his entire form at a speed of 140, forming slender blades covering him, making him into something like a porcupine on fire.  The blades each only being a foot in length  His fingers still moving faster than the trees they would still be 10 or so meters from their full height.

As soon as his fingers had hit the confrontation seal a golden bubble would form around him and rip him from his current location at a speed of 100.  Reappearing he would be 20m from where he had been directly behind himself, so he could once again have Koroshi at his front.  All in all, this was the longest he had gone in a fight without using his favorite new toy.  It was time to change that.

The wood clones form at 65 speed (normally 60 boosted by 5 cause Koro's 70 chakra), so about the time they were 3/4 formed would be when Maku's attack would detonate (seemed legit, but I am up for debate on this).  There would be a brief, brief moment where the leaves and smaller twigs would seem to be sucked in towards Maku.  The pull would be at 90 strength.  As stated this pull would be for the briefest moment, and then the world would explode.  Mentally Maku said an apology for Kurama, but Koroshi was pushing him to the limits and he couldn't bother worrying about the safety of others.  Maku liked having allies, but in the end.....well this seemed to be the only way.

As Maku had appeared, and due to Vacuum bomb being mastered, the explosion would occur setting the immediate area to fire.  The explosion would rip from his body, consuming the trees like kindling.  The clones most likely not being fully formed yet would be consumed in the 180 power and speed explosion.  Due to Koroshi's own intense speed it is highly likely he had already started his movement towards Kurama, meaning he would move into the explosion his momentum carrying him forward.

This marked the first attack that Maku didn't completely control, and was used in a way other than simply resulting in a conversation.  It was becoming obvious that such a tactic was not going to work, and perhaps this fight couldn't have the mutually beneficial end that Maku had originally hoped for.  Or maybe, this kind of attack was exactly what he needed to show Koroshi that he meant just as much business as he did.  Either way the die had been cast, and it was time to see what came up.

The fate of the bijuu was mostly unknown to Maku, but the blast would force the chakra beast back to the edge of the ability.  Pushing him about 100 meters from where Maku currently stood, directly behind him.  The blast would most likely knock the beast out as its own natural ability to heal kept it from dying.  As for Koroshi, well Maku wasn't sure what would happen, but he stood at the ready if his assault didn't work.  His left hand once again reaching up to grab his hilt as the explosion raged forward from him.  The black flames crackling around his form, while around him where an impromptu forest had been, the area would now be nothing but a wasteland, his attack raping the land of any growth it might have had.

With the clones being able to be grown from the trees as soon as there is so much as a twig, they would begin to form as soon as a stick is formed. Making it where by the time the trees are 15 feet tall, the clones would be fully formed, being that the trees grow at 100 speed, while his clones grow at 65 speed, and with the clones growing at half the speed as the forest, it would have to be twice the size of how tall the clones would be. With this being said the clones would form by the time Maku is able to have the black flames form around his body to protect him, only moments after this however Maku would disappear and would appear in front of Koroshi, with Koroshi seeing him, his clones are alerted of his new position. Upon being alerted of the new position of the threat they shout 7th gate before they charge forward to do a combined attack, starting with flowing Ki into their bodies to thrust their bodies forward toward their foe, gaining great speed from this, and allowing them to move at their top speed, they would change their bodies from going legs extend in front of them, to changing their bodies in mid air to extend their right arms outward, as they are flying toward him while flowing even more Ki into their bodies. (Using Dynamic entry to go max speed, and then Lariat to gain even more speed, the clones at the moment each moving at 205 speed.) Once closer to Maku which at this moment would be when he is charging his explosion which for the briefest of moments pulls inward toward him, increasing their speed by another 50 (This is open for debate, with the pull having the power of 100, and with them heading toward the thing that is pulling them, I think it should give them a speed up, and I think taking half would be reasonable, making their speed be 265.) 


The clones after getting this speed boost would collide with Maku's body one from the left, and one from the right as they are attempting to break the man before his explosion would fully go off. The clones making sure to move their bodies in such a way, that they would avoid from having the flame blades go through their hearts, as well as brain, to make sure that they are not dispersed. Should this attack land as planned, then the mans ribs would be fully shattered by the sheer force of the attack, but with Maku's own body being covered in the Sharingans black flames, they would quickly catch fire after hitting their mark. 

Mean while with Koroshi, as the trees are quickly being formed, and the 9 tails comes into view, he would launch himself toward it like planned using his Ki, in an attempt to catch the beast and to get him out of here before anything happens, or if the beast tries to flee, or worse, begin attacking Kumo, or them while they are fighting. With his speed fully built up as he would be only 5 feet from the beast at this moment, being that Koroshi is standing where Maku was at first, and the beast was right behind him. After his speed is built, Koroshi like his clones, changes to where he is facing the 9 tails, his right arm extended outward as he plans on close lining the beast with a total of 205 speed, and 220 strength. The combined force that is made from these two should allow Koroshi to slam into the beast, and begin to carry it away from the battle, just in case his clones fail. Should the hit land like Koroshi planned, the beast would be hit in the throat, and would be lifted off of the tree, and would be carried forward by Koroshi's forearm, which is wrapped tightly around his throat. Koroshi flowing Chakra into his brothers Necklace as he plans on making sure the world is safe from the beast rage. Koroshi knows that the beast just by being within Echo caused him a lot of pain, and caused it to twist his mind from what Viper was telling him, so if he can do that while sealed, Koroshi doesn't want to picture the horror the beast could cause when it is free on its own.  The beast vanishing in a crimson light only to appear within the realm of Asgard if all actions go accordingly.

Appearing and the explosion beginning, Maku would know that he had reached a precarious situation.  Two clones, and the original Koroshi all making their way towards him, and the explosion beginning.  TO make the slightest mistake would mean death, to make the slightest misstep because of this was something he could not do.  

As the clones made their way to crush him, Maku would blink forward 5 meters away from their outstretched arms.  Allowing them to either collide of continue to dash forward, leaving the blackened flames behind.  This would buy him enough time to allow the explosion to rip across the world and not allow himself to be sliced up.  As for the fire, it wouldn't even have a chance to fall as the clones came into contact with it.  Covering their bodies it would begin its slow burn, not only form the outside, but because they had been pierced by the bladed flames it would begin burning them from the inside out, the much softer portion of a body.  

Meanwhile the explosion would shred the immediate area, razing the world.  However one thing became immediately evident.  Koroshi had not been one of the beings to strike him, at least he didn't think so as only two had made contact.  Slipping away into the in between at max speed (290) Maku would use his chakra sense to examine the battlefield.  Koroshi, by now Maku had got quite the feel for his chakra would be almost the full 100 meters away attempting it would seem to strike the Kyuubi, had he imagined the beast would come to Maku's aid.  If so he didn't know the beast very well.

In the in between where he was safe to think and consider, Maku would summon the beast using his mastered version of the food cart destroyer.  While Maku had given back the beasts free will, he never would give up all control, as that would be a foolish thing to do.  Like letting your lamp rest next to a cart of dynamite.  The jutsu would be used around 4 or 5 seconds after Koroshi had made contact with the beast.  Still giving him time to summon the beast who had almost unbeknownst to him had been taken to a place he could not go.

After his explosion ended, and the aftermath of any attack occurred, Maku would transition himself back into the world, facing whichever direction he thought Koroshi was in.  He would sit cross legged, and wait for the man to come back.  The beast still within the dimensional in between out of reach.  He had left his blade behind in the dimensional in between, along with his mask and all tools.  In fact the only thing that remained was his cloak, that provided him a way to escape if the confrontation continued.  If Koroshi approached, Maku would allow his boosting jutsu to vanish, bringing him back to his normal levels.  

If allowed a simple sentence would be uttered.  "You win...but I can't let you take the beast."  Watching the man, if he stopped in his attack and allowed his own stat booster to end, he would even allow his sharingan to transition back to the bright blue instead of the deep crimson red.  "Can we converse, and reach an understanding, or do we have to continue in this confrontation, where honestly there will be no winner."

His entire demeanor for the first time wouldn't be the happy go lucky one that Koroshi had originally seen.  instead, he would bear the look of a man who had been defeated.  His first real defeat.  One that had happened immediately after his greatest victory.  Confirming in his mind....he was no great being, he was no immortal.  He was a man, and one that still needed a great many things before he made his way into being anything more.

Wanting nothing more then to avenge his brother, Koroshi decides that if he were to let the pain of Echo's loss over take him to the point that he were to kill another person, it would not right the wrong, it would not honor Echo, in fact if anything that Viper was telling him was true, and if he was tormented by the deaths he had caused, this would only add to the body count, and would disgrace his name, and how Echo passed. 

With this being said, Koroshi views that he must still stop this man no matter the cost, and the main way to stop him would be to capture the 9 tails, and to prevent it from getting into the wrong hands. So Koroshi continues on the path toward the 9 tails, and would the man blinks to the side, his clones having over 300 reaction time can see that he is no longer within the flames, due to parts of his body being shown, such as his eyes so that he would be able to see, and command the flames. So once he disappears and reappears away from them, the clones each kick outward toward the other one, using the legs closest to the other clone, their feet would collide with one another thus sending them flying in the opposite directions at the same speed. 

The clone on the right joining Koroshi to catch the 9 tails, while the one on the left charges head first into the explosion that is going off from Maku, the high amount of chakra that is made into this attack, and with the attack made solely of chakra the clones Sharingan only sees blue chakra, and is unable to see Maku due to the Sharingan being able to see the chakra within peoples bodies, and within jutsu itself.  So for the moment the clone on the left turns it off so that he doesn't blind himself. On the bright side for the clone Maku would be at the same disadvantage, as he had his sharingan active and with his own chakra flowing outward to such a degree he would be just as blind as he was if he were to keep his sharingan on, if he were to turn it off, he would see the explosion forming. 

Entering into a battle for the blind the clone continues in a straight line from where he last seen Maku, attempting to slam his right arm into the mans throat in order to keep him from the fight as this would knock the breath from maku, but on top of that, and having the same medical knowledge as Koroshi, the clone moves his arm to hit him, in such a way that it would not take his head off, would not snap his neck, but would pull and apply enough pressure that it would cause strains on the mans nerves in his neck, and on his vertebra, paralyzing him. 


With the clone taking care of, and continuing the fight with Maku, Koroshi and his other clone would slam their bodies into the 9 tails, one on each side as they slam their right and left arms into the beasts neck, gripping him with their forearms as they begin to carry the beast off, Koroshi using his necklace as he planed to do, to bring the beast back to Asgard  with him, so that they can keep it from causing chaos. Koroshi able to do this safer as Maku would be blinded from his own attack, and would not know his true motives, that and if he spots the clone, and with how powerful the technique is, Maku might mistake the clone for being the real Koroshi, although that is up to chance. 


Should everything go as planed, Maku would be stopped, and paralyzed, preventing him from casting any more jutsu, or using any handseals, and the beast with Koroshi and his other clone would be sent to Asgard, where they can seal the beast away from any dangerous hands at the very last moment, and Koroshi not wanting to give into hate, and to bring shame to Echo, or his memories, Koroshi would have his clone only a second before they are being transported to his brother world, to activate his Sharigan once more, and to use his Ebisu technique to heal all of the wounds inflicted to Maku's body, so that he may live out the rest of his days, hopefully in peace.

Koroshi Uchiha wrote: The clones making sure to move their bodies in such a way, that they would avoid from having the flame blades go through their hearts, as well as brain, to make sure that they are not dispersed.

So once he disappears and reappears away from them, the clones each kick outward toward the other one, using the legs closest to the other clone, their feet would collide with one another thus sending them flying in the opposite directions at the same speed.

(To me this would mean they kicked through the amaterasu since it wasn't really mentioned. so that's how I posted. Also for the most part, I think my post would still go through as stated in my last post. However now it would happen even faster due to an added timeline stimulus.)

Maku having already blinked forward would instantly feel a resonation within his body.  The force that the clones had collided with to be able to send them both backwards at the same speed and strength would surely send out yet another sonic boom as so many of the mans attacks had.  However as the clones kicked out, they would be left with a small parting gift.  Having not moved in any other way than to have the blades miss their hearts or brains, a foot long blade would still pierce their legs, as they kicked out where Maku had been and the amaterasu would still remain, not yet having the chance to fall due to Koro's own intense speed.

The blades being spread out along where his body had been like a porcupine would pierce the two clones differently.  The clone on Maku's right would have the blade go straight through the arch of the clones foot just over a foot upwards into his shin.  Due to having to go through the flames to connect with the other clone.  The darkened flames would stick to the outside of his leg starting its slow burn, as well as move upwards from the inside and softer portion of the mans body burning him from the inside out.

As for the clone on the left, the blade would miss the foot, but due to its angle would start its incision just above the ankle.  The angle not so severe as to cut the mans foot off instead would slice about half way through from the Achilles tendon t the middle of the ankle, just allowing the foot to hang on, though after such a powerful kick it was unknown what kind of damage it would do to the hanging extremity.  As with the first clone the fire would stick, and begin its burn upwards.  

All this would of course happen unbeknownst to Maku who had other things to do.  At the sensation of another sonic boom that cause yet another trickle of blood to flow down his ears.  The explosion would have begun to go off in earnest as the clones had collided, and as such Maku tore himself from reality (IE used the cloak as soon as the clones collided) (300 speed, so prior to ever being reached if the clones still can attack).  The constant damage to his ear drums was starting to cause a ringing in his head that he feared would never go away.  

In the in between it was a simple matter to summon the Kyuubi.  Pulling it from the world and preventing his own attack from harming the beast, who he was unsure could survive the force of the explosion (180 power/speed).  The creature was a casual observer in this fight and didn't deserve to be injured in the collateral damage.  The summon would occur just after Koro had made contact with its neck, since Maku's transition to the in between had been sped up by the actions of the clones.  However as the beast appeared before him, Maku saw the creature passed out with ragged breaths.

Its neck seemed crushed in, and its chakra was already converging on the injury to heal the beast keeping it from continued harm.  As the explosion continued to raze the immediate area around them Maku considered his next move.  The man had been Echo's brother, so revenge was natural.  He had attacked the beast, which seemed odd unless the beast had harmed his brother in some way, unless Koroshi simply didn't want Maku to have possession of such a creature.  This only seemed logical, Maku had heard of the bijuu and the power they possessed, so keeping this one, the nine tails away from the murderer of ones kin, well it just made sense.

The idea of peace and conversation, it just no longer seemed possible to Maku.  It had ran through his mind so many times, and had constantly been his main intention when deciding what moves and actions he would take.  Now however, it seemed there would be, well but two options.  To stay and continue to fight inevitably leading to death of one.  To run and shame himself....or perhaps another option.  To return and just see what happened before deciding.  The old wait and see approach.  Well even though that wasn't his normal style in politics, it was good to try new things.

After the explosion had completely ended, Maku would turn to the now healed Kurama.  "So, I take it this guy isn't happy with our company aye?"  His tone was still jovial, yet his face was ever slightly more serious.  Dried blood stained his ear lobs, its crimson color staining the white of his shoulders.  His left arm throbbed with the fractured ulna that ran up his forearm.  More than that, he was a little it tired.  The fight of Echo had only been a couple days ago, and now he was exerting himself to the max yet again.  

"It would seem so.  domination.....that is the kind of control to be had there.  Trapped in prisons, sealed, or kept.  The only reason I am still here, is the freedom you have allowed so far.  If I had to choose....I would not choose a sure prison."  A low growl was his voice.  While the beast would never truly be happy working with any human, it was understandable why given the choice, it would rather have some amount of freedom rather than going knowingly into a prison.  Especially having just been attacked so ferociously.  

"a moment, you can still watch, but you needn't be involved presently."  Maku stated before turning and drawing his blade.  With it in his right hand, Maku would look in the area that Koro had last been.  REaching to his waist where his mask hung, he would place it ontop of his head, turning it so the strap moved across his forehead and the actual mask portion hung across the back of his head.  Making sure he didn't see anything close to him to harm him, he would activate his cloak once again to enter the world.  

He would be facing the direction where he could sense Koroshi's chakra, which he had grown very familiar to at this point.  As for Maku's own chakra signature thanks to the properties of his mask that he had not yet utilized, he would not be able to be sensed for as long as his chakra level was higher than Koroshi's.  Maku was unsure if the clones or whatever they had been had survived, but again he would not reenter the world unless he was sure that when he did he was safe, making sure if they were alive they would be in front of him, making sure all 3 entities where within his range of vision, as well as being able to sense them with his chakra senses.  

"Well then.....must we continue?"  His voice was no longer the jovial expression it had been when he had first met Koro, or when he had just spoken with Kurama.  Instead it held a deeper and more serious tone.  No longer playing around, but taking the situation in front of him as it was.  He had now removed the sole distraction from the field.  It was him and Koroshi, what happened would happen.

(alright, been waiting in a travel topic for who knows how long xD I know Maku's location because of my Sanctuary Pond, I thought I had it pinpointed fairly good before but if Maku's in sensory range from Kumo Den knows his exact location then)

So are we close now? Kokou’s voice echoed within Den’s mind as he and Shou flew above the mountains, of course making sure not to fly so high that Den would have trouble breathing of course. Some of the mountains were so high that Shou instead maneuvered around them, but not all of them were that big.  Den stood atop Shou’s head, anchored to the great dragon’s body with his chakra to avoid being blown off by the shifting of the wind as the massive 150 meter long dragon floated through the sky, now moving at his max flying speed of 110. De’s blue eyes scanned the area in front of them, trying to spot a giant fox seeing as that would be easier than spotting Maku himself.

It would be as he was scanning the area that a sudden explosion erupted, despite its size moving so fast that by the time it was over Den had barely registered what had happened. The explosion was on the other side of a mountain that Shou was traveling towards, both of them only hearing the explosion and not seeing it as their view was obscured.

Worried that this somehow involved Maku, as they were definitely close to his location, Den activated his sharingan as Shou flew over the mountain, his body not coming within 50 meters of its surface. The Dragon’s head would peak over and look down on the destruction below. A large crater would be seen, as well as at least one figure within it. If Koro and any of his clones had survived, Den would likely be on the other side of them from Maku (this is just me trying to deal with the vague distances by using vague distances, basically Den’s entering from the opposite side of Koro from Maku if Koro’s still alive). Den would also be at least 100 meters from Koro, probably more unless he was on the mountain Shou was peaking over. Said mountain was also 650 meters tall, and Shou would keep the 50 meter distance as he flew over top of it, putting him 700 meters into the air from the base of the mountain, which was down below in the valley that had somehow been nuked. He began to circle around the edge of where the explosion had ended, meaning unless stopped he’d be flying in a 200 diameter circle 700 meters in the air while the Gobi gathered Sage Chakra for Den, who was still standing a top Shou’s head anchoring himself with his chakra as he examined the scene.

If Maku looked up at him Den would give him a simple nod of acknowledgement, and if the fighting stopped then Shou would start to slow down and corkscrew downwards as he circled the area, until he was only 100 meters away from the nearest source of solid ground. This would only happen if fighting had stopped by the time Shou had traveled a single rotation (over 600 meters traversed at 110 speed).

Den was wearing his manipulated fabric (which looks like a jounins gear but black with a brown vest), as well as all of his Sanctuary Stones, his amplification stone a yellow color as it hung from his neck, and his other two as rings on his left hand. His Sword that was capable of firing a projected blade was at his right hip, the other sword having been left in Sanctuary as Den hadn’t come looking for a fight, he had just come to try and find Maku to talk to talk about his own brother ironically enough.

(The time and positioning of the clones have been talked about through skype conversation, and due to the wording in my move we have decided that they would not be effected by the fire one bit.) 

The clones right after kicking against one another would each head for their desired locations, the clone on the left heading right for Maku, while the clone on the right joins Koroshi to back him up. As stated in my move before, The clone on the left would close the gap within less then a faction of a second, slamming his bicep into Maku's neck, forcing it upwards in such a way that it would cause the nerves and tendons in his neck to rip, or to be squeeze in such a way that it would cause them to pop, preventing Maku from completing his actions on traveling to his in between world. (After speaking with both Maku and Den in skype, we found that the explosion going 180 speed could travel 100 meters in a second) Koroshi's clone is going at 265 speed, and is only 20 meters away from Maku, with this being said and with the huge difference between the speed and how far the targets are away, before a tenth of a fraction of a second would happen, Koroshi's clone would be attacking Maku, paralyzing him, preventing him from using any handseals, or moving any part of his body due to the damage to his bones, nerves and muscle tissue from the impact that was done on his bare neck. This being able to happen due to the fact that the explosion would not start until the clones kick one another, and send each other off in their own direction. So with this being said, by the time Maku would begin to feel the pain in his ear, or feel any blood forming, he would already be out of the fight, being stopped by Echo's brother. Regular items, such as the riru no robu, will go off the users reaction time.  This being able to happen due to there are two separate reaction times to factor in, the basic bodies reaction time, and the visual reaction time.  Visual is amplified by the Sharingan, and makes it so you can see things faster, and comprehend visuals.  The bodies reaction time is what happens from a blindspot, so using something spawning off your normal reaction time will be your base reaction time, albeit buffed from your speed amplifications.  Your ears don't work faster because your eyes are better, same with your mind and chakra network, the only exception is Sharingan skills, so speed would only be 190. Easily allowing Koroshi to impact with Maku's body before he would cross over to the other would. While this is happening, the real Koroshi, already having held on  to the 9 tails at this moment would begin to use his chakra to ready himself to transport not only himself, but the 9 tails to his brother's realm so that they can prevent any harm that it may release upon the world. 

Due to the timing in which Koroshi would start bring the 9 tails to his brothers realm, by the time the one know as Den would appear on the scene, the only thing he would be greeted with, is the remnants of the explosion, and the paralyzed boy named Maku, who is at the bottom of the crater. Koroshi thought about healing the boy with his clone although due to him running low on energy, and the treat of the battle continuing, or the risk of losing the 9 tails to the man, Koroshi decides to leave him there to learn a lesson. Should the boy still be there after he had been recharged then he would not mind healing him so that they may fight again, being that he has not paid him back for taking his brother Echo away from him, although that would be another story for another time, as much as Koroshi would leave to dish out a lot more pain to the man, protecting the world must come first, being that he cannot risk the beast that plagued his brothers mind to roam free, as from what he had read, and heard about the 9 tails, it is a beast of nothing but hatred, wanting nothing more then to kill all thus who stood in his way. Another though that passes through Koroshi's mind is that the 9 tails must hate not only Echo for keeping him trapped, but Viper and the Leaf village for placing him inside Echo, and being forced to fight to protect these people, so if the beast went on a rampage, the Leaf village would be the first on the beasts list on people to slaughter. Followed by his family being equally high on the beasts lists, Viper would be safe in his realm, but his niece and nephew are still living within the leaf, and if a beast such as this showed up, he knows that Samuru would try to fight it head on to protect his sister, next of course would be the Sand village, being that the 9 tails would know that Koroshi is the Kazekage, that would be the very next place the beast would strike, to make up for his imprisonment.  Although if all goes as planed Koroshi would arrive within Asgard, letting out a sighing breath as he deactivates his 7th gate, his clone dispersing into normal pieces of wood that still have his shape, without being able to move on their own as Koroshi looks toward his brother, his Sharingan still beaming.
