New "Friends" Meet at Hoshi Borders [Invite only]

(Sorry if this is just a friendly thread, but honestly I should have entered this a lot sooner xD)

He was finally here, the village of hoshigakure. But he would not dare to pass the gates that stood over them. He would simply watch from a tree that stood near the gates as the many travels came and went.

Denkiteki's wood clone had just arrived at the gates when the boy threw the kunai. Why had Den's clone come here? Well some guy with a high chakra was hanging out right outside the gates, so the guards had informed Den so he could deal with the situation. Den was busy in his office however so he created a wood clone to deal with it.

The gates were only 10 meters from the tree Near had fallen from, and Den's clone was standing right underneath the gate. Other than the tree and bush that Near was close to there wasn't anything else outside the gates that would inhibit someone’s line of sight, the rest of the landscape was rolling hills like what one should expect from Haven.

The clone would seem to appear out of nowhere to both shinobi, having just been moving at a speed of 235 to reach this location.

The clone would arrive before the smoke bomb was even removed from the Kaguya’s pouch. If the two stopped what they were doing the clone would look towards Near and say, "What's going on here?"

If Near did use his body flicker he would find himself in a lot of pain. Den's clone would Blink directly in front of Near if the smoke bomb hadn’t been thrown, and unfortunately due to how the Body flicker worked Near would be unable to stop the motion as the flicker would not end until he had reached the position the smoke bomb was thrown at, and Den's clone was between near and it. Positioned to ensure Near's weapon wouldn't somehow accidentally strike him during Near's flicker the clone would disappear from beneath the gate and appear directly in front of Near, having teleported in order to do so.

Near would have traveled a meter by the time Den’s clone would appear exactly a meter in front of him. Den was a few emters away from the Kaguya.

Because Near's tree was to the right of the road Near would be to the clone's right when he finished the teleportation. The clones's right hand would move at a speed of 110 to grab Near's weapon arm, which was likely in an awkward position because Near had used the Ram seal to use Body flicker which required two hands. Den’s clone would grab Near's left wrist before the man would collide into him at whatever speed he was moving at. Near's chest would collide with the clones right shoulder and the missing ninja would likely feel a sharp pain from the collision. The clone would be un-phased by the collision.

“What’s going on here?” the clone would ask after Near’s flicker had been stopped, unless of course the missing ninja attempted to assault him. The clones chakra senses were also on full alert. The clone would also catch the academy students kunai with his left hand if he ended up in the path of the weapon, and would use it to deflect the shuriken if the kaguya still threw them.

If the smoke bomb was still thrown and Near still body flickered, Den’s clone would throw a shuriken from his own pouch at Near, aimed to hit him before his weapon would connect with the academy student. Den clone could still see Near’s chakra through the smoke. The shuriken would be aimed at Near’s head.

Wood clone jutsu used by Den

Sharingan used by clone
Body flicker used by clone
Blink used by clone if Near continues the flicker and smoke bomb isn’t thrown.

If clone throws a shuriken it has 120 speed

Taiyo barely has any time to react when the new contender comes between him and the white-heaired man, his name still unknown.

His hand stops before he drops the smoke bomb onto the ground, his only action as a result of the new shinobi's arrival. The speed of his movement catches Taiyo by surprise and his sudden appearance, despite Taiyo's resolve to keep from talking mentally outside of anything that has to do with the battle in front of him, makes him wonder "how'd he move that fast", "isn't he the village leader", "I'm talking in my head again", and "wow, where can I get a ninja vest like his".

Taiyo refrains from speaking as the situation before him unfolds and after seconds pass, he takes multiple steps back, putting his smoke bomb back into his ninja pouch.

Near would suddenly stop every motion as he noticed a man appear. He had an overwhelming force felt from his chakra. As near would use his Scythe to stop the incoming attack and then he would quickly stand up and laugh a little. "Hello good sir... I was not here to cause harm to anyone. I am a traveler from the land of iron. I would like to speak with one of your higher ups if you don't mind." Near would say as he put his scythe away and covered his body with his cloak.

(OOC: It's been 48 hours now, so I'm going to post.)

Quickly, Taiyo understands that what is about to happen is greater than him.

"These shinobi are much more powerful than I. This started out by the simple act of lending a helping hand. Now, things have become edgy..." Taiyo think, taking another step back. "I don't know if these two are about to fight or not. But, either way, I think leaving would be the best course of action to take right about now."

"I'm going back into the village, Lord Denkiteki. This is beyond me." He says before leaping back into a tree and jumping from branch to branch back to the village of Hoshigakure.

Near would smile as he watched the boy try to run from the area, Near would quickly run toward the boy before he jumped and swung his blade into boys stomach through an upward motion. Near was going in with full power and strength. He didnt like it when people tried to run from him especially when things were just getting good at that. The swing would seemingly slice through the air right over where the boy would try to jump up. His aim was his stomach but any thing else that got in the way would be okay as well.

[Stopping Taiyo's exit]

Luckily for the Young Taiyo, it is at this time that Arthur speeds down the path, a mere ten meters away having redirected his path upon sensing a large chakra signature, returning from the borders and while upon his steed he see's a man approaching a young Hoshigakure Shinobi from behind, he hops from his steed and suddenly bursts forwards to intercept, the young man jumps and with the drawing of the Master Sword and the earlier activation of a Hero's legacy he too bursts forward and swings downwards, wind spreading along the blade to extend it's range, from an upper diagonal angle as the Enemy Shinobi's arms are drawn backwards..Passing underneath the man's lunging motion and short distance making it possible to cleave through the side of the head, the arms and the outstretched leg of his opponent so he can save the Bold Shinobi of Hoshigakure.

Unfortunately for the one known as Near and fortunately for the one known as Taiyo, Near cannot reach his maximum speed in a single moment...The Silver Dragon can achieve this feet and so at a blinding speed he intends to cleave the man in two wind enhancing his muscles and pushing him along, if all goes as planned he has saved the Life of a Hoshigakure Shinobi with one dash and a swing of his blade, he skids to a stop and spirals to face the if all goes as planned bifurcated body parts and blades which now collapse limply and harmlessly to the ground..
The Silver dragon pauses for a moment observing the perhaps corpse of the strange looking man before his eyes flick to the two Shinobi before him. "Are you well Shinobi of Hoshigakure?" He questions, flicking the blood from his blade before he sheathes it. "Another pawn of Grima..?" He questions his eyes now upon the, if all goes as planned, corpse of the attacker.

As all of his focus was on the fleeing young man, and the Clones chakra is much higher than Arthur's it would be unlikely but possible that the one known as Near could counter attack, especially as Legendary Agility has allowed Arthur to reach full speed instantly.

Spoiler:

Den's clone hadn't responded to the guy because, well, he hadn't given Den's clone a proper answer to his question. Why had those two been talking, why had that student thrown a kunai at him? Why had the guy been sitting on the one single tree that was outside Hoshi's gates watching travelers if he had business in the village? The clone still had very little clue as to what was going on here, and that didn't really make the clone want to let Near in.

As Taiyo went to leave the guy stood up and started running towards the academy student at an extremely slow speed for a shinobi, but still fast enough that the clone could tell the man had some sort of ill intent meant for the academy student, or perhaps he simply had a death wish? Upon Near taking his second step towards Taiyo the clone would, taking all actions at max speed,  unsheathe its sword and activate the blades ability as it made a simple upward swinging motion with the weapon, firing a blade of energy that was aimed to bisect Near vertically, fortunately for Taiyo if this maneuver was successful Near would be dead before he got close enough to make any sort of melee attack with his weapon.

Neither Arthur nor Taiyo would be in the path of the blade of energy blade as it quickly moved through the air at a speed of 152, and if it reached its target would pass through Near before the knight would have reached the charging missing ninja. The sharpness of the energy blade is 170.

After creating the blade of energy the clone would sheathe its sword, however its sharingan eyes would remain on Near in case the shinobi was perhaps hiding his abilities and he could somehow manage to dodge. The clones chakra senses would also remain on alert for any other shinobi, but so far other than Near and Taiyo he only detected Arthur's approach and Shina's presence on the gate above the clone, as this whole ordeal was occurring right in front of the gates.

-50 ap from clone for using Sword of Slashings slashing ability (Shapeless is currently in its 'Sword of Slashing's' form)
-1 for sharingan
So far the clones used 63/634 AP
Clones speed is 110

Dens used 80 of his 634 AP to create and maintain the clone

(OOC: So, does Arthur's entrance still happen if Near was stopped before he could reach me? Or does he enter but just miss because Near is not where he would have been?)

Taiyo hears the slash of the energy blade. His heart skips a beat and he stops in his tracks to look back at the battle field. Truly, he cannot decide whether or not what he sees makes him glad or upset.

"That man... he had no good intentions. Really, he could have killed me. But Lord Denkiteki stopped him." Taiyo thinks, most of his body still frozen in fear. His legs begin to tilt towards the direction of the village gate as he regains his movement. "Of course, this means that I can't tell a criminal from a simple person..."

Arthur's intercept between the path which Near would have taken and Taiyo's position occurs. The wind from the blade wakes him from his thoughts.

"Right, running!" Taiyo tells himself, glancing for a short moment at the shinobi who had swung the sword and made the gust of sharp wind.

As Taiyo leaps through the trees and passes the village gates, Shina can be seen atop them.

"Another Hoshigakure ninja? Something big really is going down here." Taiyo whispers to hmself. "The farther away I get, the better."

A deep chill runs down Taiyo's spine as he leaps deeper into the village, homebound.

[Alright, pretty clear what just happened, later Near, better luck next year.]

For some reason, as Arthur skids to a halt, eyes running over the weapons and armor briefly of the corpse, he blinks in surprise and feels like this situation is reversed?
He blinks once more as his blade disperses and the knowledge of the weapons of the slain run though his mind and join the countless others in his Blade Works..What a cruel creature this young man was, to be filled with such vile sociopathic intentions..
Arthur shakes his head in regret for a moment before he watches the other Shinobi flee and his eyes roam over to a familiar face.
Which prompts a smile from the Silver Dragon and he steps towards him "Denkiteki? Is that you?" He questions briefly before he laughs in delight and perhaps in a show that would make the Clone a bit uncomfortable a pair of lean arms wrap around his comrade in a tight brotherly hug, lifting him from the ground briefly before setting him upon his feet, of course Denkiteki should be more than capable of stopping him if he felt the need. Hands clapping him on the shoulder "Well met indeed! Are you of Hoshigakure now?" He questions, looking curious for a moment before he shakes his head. "No, no! Not here, we must catch up! Drinks! A feast! Songs!" He exclaims, latching onto this reunion with..perhaps a slight hint of desperation, maybe some would pick up on the fact that Arthur is doing this so he has a reason to smile.

His smile dims and he glances back towards the corpse now. "Ah, but we've business to attend to first yes? Let's bury the young man, he was vile in life, but all are equal in death.." He mutters for a moment before tracing a weak shovel, easily shatter-able by even the weakest of Shinobi. "..Though.." He pauses, the shovel dispersing in his grasp. "..Perhaps we can find a better place to put him then..?" He gestures around, now, all of this in conjecture and perhaps Arthur's nature has simply caught Den off guard for a moment, but now may be a good moment to interject with any concerns or questions.
But perhaps, Denkiteki may overlook certain things, as Arthur Pendragon is currently wearing a sigil of the City of the Stars along with the Pendragon symbol...Though a Sunagakure symbol is also visible on a pendant around his neck.
