Kusanagi

Yep, balls of steel.

It begins as the man closes his eyes to sleep, the scene becomming that of a swampy marsh within his mind. Judging from details in the area, it looks to be deep in the water country.

terrain:

The trees look to be dying, charcoal in color. No grass can be seen in this particular area. Many cave networks can be seen throughout this land if traversed. The ground is uneven, dipping into seemingly bottomless pits of water and sludge. The mixture of wild life is unlike many other countries. Long whiskered fish can be seen in the ponds, along with small flat ones with orange tink. Frogs are in an abundance, along with different brids, mostly crows in the trees to the east and west, their eyes upon him as they stay silent.

If the man begins to make his way through this area it would begin to disturb the wild life, birds flying from the trees with echoing wing flaps and chirping. It is strange however, a single bird if observed drops from the sky limp, splashing into the water below about 50 ft north east of the man as it make its way to the east. After splashing into the water it disturbs the creatures within as a feeding frenzy begins that would rip flesh from mone in seconds. Aside from the wildlife, no beings seem to exist, no chakra can be felt, it is as if the boy is fully alone in the area, or so it seems,

Mako would find himself in a realm, one like he had never experienced.  The lines of reality and fantasy fading, though the experienced Shinobu knew how to handle such odd occurences.  By focusing on the smells and sights he was able to conclude that no matter how he got here this are was indeed real.  It was true that the wildlife and area was quite hostile, though one thing wasn't, Mako would not be here alone.  Mako was a sage of the weapon monkeys of Naya, and when venturing into unknown territory summoning his allies was almost instinctive.  So now as the sage stood on a large harmless dead log that arched over the water, he would look back at his previously summoned friend, Genma the current king of the monkeys, the ancestor of the monkey used by his own ancestor.

Mako could not see well, beyond the vicious detracting of a dying bird, but the ominous feeling he felt made the dark hairs on his neck stand on end.  He would not be caught unaware.  Doing a quick equipment check Mako would guarantee he still wore his flak jacket and had his multiple swords on him, the ash blade at his left hip, the army katana just below forming a daicho, and his heavenly sorrow ninja to strapped to his leg with his Konica headband.  He also had all of his tools in pouches.  The check only took seconds, afterwords, the monkey king would reactively place it's hand on his right shoulder while they both stood safely on the driftwood and prepared several nature stacks, continuing to draw on the natural energy in the area until he had reached 4 stacks, provided he was not interrupted in this process in which he would be stopped at 2.  
Mako would then smile looking at curious about why he was here and take a large drag from a freshly lit cigarette and blow it out.  He was ready for whatever beast this marsh might hold.

-150 for previously summoning, and acquiring 4 nature stacks, unless interrupted, then only gaining 2 in that case.

The night holds many secrets as the sun vanishes in the distance, the area cooling down.  The on guard summon that struck the bird already making its way underground, it's orange and yellow scales sliding through a tunnel in the earth before emerging into an underground laboratory in one of the cave networks.  It's master is within.  The mans pale skin is accented by purple markings by his eyes, yellow eyes peer at vials and tubes along the walls. His gaze however changes as the summon slithers upon his arm...they have a visitor.  His chakra supressed from before, like that of his summon.  Feeling out the boys chakra he feels something deliciouse, sage energy, and its familiar presence of Enma.  Did Hiruzen Sensei let someone else have access to the king of the Monkeys?  Very interesting, very interesting indeed...  The boys location is directly above him, he should go pay a visit.  He walks as to not give away his position through chakra sensory, making his way through the caves before reaching a pool of water.  Perhaps it was arrogance that led the man to let him charge up and gather the sage energy, he wanted to see what it could do.  Intrigue that he is even going towards the man as he enters the pool of water.  His grin widens as he swims through the muck and up through the water, destined to come up from one of the pools in the surrounding area.  The underwater caves being the way into his laboratory. Whilst 50 meters away and where the caves start to branch off he weaves the seals for the shadow clone jutsu, a blip of chakra forms for a split second giving away his position below him, still 50 beters away.  Both forms of the man supressing through chakra now as they swim.  The original breaking to the right, and the replica going to the left.  The original moves through the pool of water with the skeletal remains of the bird, the fish leaving his form alone.  The replica however wishes to make a suprise test attack.  As it gets 5 meters from the pool the man is meditating before his legs merge together into a serpant like tail as his speed is increased, seals woven for a replacement that does not yet come to fruition.  His body ejects out of the water at a diagonal angle, launches towards the man as his right hand draws back ready for a palm strike upon his chest, fingers curled like that of a claw, or like that of a snakes maw ready to strike.

Orochimaru:

2,000 AP Total

(OK vipes shits getting real, I'm at work tonight I am not risking making a mistake on my phone, so will post in the morning)

You're good take your time!

Mako had just finished the acquisition of the stacks needed, he now had the maximum amount that his body could handle without gaining any negatives.  During the process of drawing the stacks the chakra sensory would be high.. So when the beast in the marsh used the shadow clone it would immediately alert the Monkey king, and though he could not see Orochimaru exit his laboratory Mako would know he was not alone in this wasteland. 
 
"Someone is here," The Monkey would state with his right hand on the shoulder of the Sarutobi.  Mako would respond with a nod while investigating the area.  He could see slithering below in the marsh but he could not make out what it was.  So when Orochimaru's clone sprung up from the water for his attack Mako would spring into action.  The monkey king would step back to the end of the drift wood making his transformation into the Adamantium blade at the speed of his RT (140), with the front of the blade sticking out of the wood.  Mako would also swing about with his right hand on the ash blade, he could feel the channel from the blade enhancing his speed.  So when the snake form of the monster sprung forward with its attack Mako would bend his knee to allow his angle to be perfect.  So when he snapped the blade from its scabbard it would come across intercepting the beasts out stretched hand.  The attack would easily slice clean through the hand,  and any other part of the clone that would be caught within the blades slice.  The blade would come across at a total speed of 190 since the quick draw ability was meant to perfectly enhance an attack's speed.  Immediately following the attack Mako would prepare for a counter attack should the absolutely powerful slice fail to do the job.
 
If his attack would hit and wipe out the clone Mako would retrieve the  Adamantium sword and place it on his back waiting for the true villian to show his face.  Hanging on to the nature stacks for the real show.  I
 
125 speed +25 to swing speed.  +40 to strength and speed from battoujutsu.
Sharpness would be 150 base + 145 from booster capping at 295 Due to sword ability.

did bad math it should be edited let me know if you see anything wrong

The clone is seemingly struck by the mans blade, smoke erupts from it as a splash it audible form within the smoke, something dropped from the smoke into the water below. The chakra signature shifts locations, the transportation done whilst the boy is in mid swing causing an opening for which the serpant to strike. Slithering from the ground towards the log, emerging from his substitution jutsu only two feet from it, thanks to a falled tree which served as the perfect medium for his jutsu. his momentum is kept allowing him to hit full speed on this turn. Slithering up the log his "clawed" hand strikes out to grab the adamantine weapon, but not in a manner to claim it for himself. In actuality his fingertips are all that make contact, his thumb on one side of the blade, his four fingers upon the other, blue fire seeming to cover them as the blade, if contact is made, would erupt into smoke of desummoning due to the five elements seal causing Enma to slip into an unconsciouse state. The smoke serves to hide the serpant again as it begins coiling around the log twice over, his form ending under the log. His right clawed hand moves up to grasp the boys left leg as his entire body constricts the log, its current state making it easy to destroy and make the boy destined to fall into the water along with the serpant. The flaming finger tips ready to end this battle.

All the while the original watches and waits, this boy is interesting, a swordsman, much like another he was fond of. His head barely poitioned out of the water along with orange and yellow scales as he gathers intel on the boy. Will he be taken out by something as simple as a Shadow Clone, or will he be able to have fun with the boy?


Orig 975

Clone:
-5 for Substitution
-40 for Five elements seal with 80 power.

905 remaining

Mako would finish the swing and witness the inevitable, as the chakra signature shifted to the ground behind his defenseless monkey summon.  Mako could do nothing to rescue the summon, however Genma was no beginner having fought many battles before and having been raised within a large and hostile forest.  He had been told the tales of the Snake summoners, from his father and his father before him, all the way back to Enma the monkey summon of the third hokage.  So when witnessing the attack Genma knew his only course of action would be to at the very least remove the looming threat of the clone that would be attempting to lock him out of the fight,  though in many cases Genma might desummon to prevent himself from acquiring this seal, in this fight he wanted to be the best for his partner. 
 
 
As Orochimaru's Substitution would occur Genma would meet it with his own form of attack.  The weapon would grow, it would grow quickly, as he could control the growth to occur at his own reaction time, a speed of 140. Growing to 10 times its current size, the sharp blade of the weapon would move outward and upwardly with the back of the blade which faced Mako being the center of the growth it would grow forwardly toward the clone,   the hil would tower up now no longer within reach of his summoner.  However the front of the blade faced the clone so when it grew it would slam into the summoner as well.  He was certain the clone would finish the sealing but not before getting cut and slammed by his own sharp side. The blade was able to grow out to a width of 30 feet which would overlap the clone's forward attack.  So when the smoke would rise from the desummoning of the blade so too would the smoke of clone.  Which would be cut through its hand and body being unable to avoid the blade growth at its momentum.  Orochimaru's clone had jumped head first into a sharp blade (150) and Genma would be sure he realized it before disappearing.
 
Mako himself would simply watch on as the tower of smoke and place the sword back in its scabbard now holding it with his left hand as that was the same side of his body the sword was on.  It would be resting upon it Mako would run into the smoke cloud and now obscured would create his own substitution tech on the end of the log he now stood.  Having learned the snake beast was a clone Mako qwoud prepare for the original or another clone.

The boy was skilled, if it wasn't for the speed of the Serpent it would of been the end for the replica. The movements of the blade warrant a counter clockwise rotation of the being along with his body being pulled up in a manner similar to an air craft makng a sharp turn. This grants the clone a few inches, not much, but enough. His hand impacts the flat of the blade as it attempts to split him down the middle, the summon set to vanish. This however proves to work better than envisoned before, the massive plume of smoke with residual monkey chakra shrouds him as he bursts through it, the log the boy was standing on before cracking and falling into the water at this point. The boy however is not a novice and would more than likely hop off to the next bank before the pool of water, or fall upon the water with acaemy level techniques. Either way the boy lakced the speed to get out of the way, running speed reduced to half due to the lack of momentum putting him at roughly 88 running speed. His most advantigouose action would more than likely be to stand his ground upon the water, knwoing this a frontal attack would be suicide. He now circles the pool of water, its head rears back only to jerk forward and begin expulling a large wave of serpants towards the boy, a collection of thousands of snakes shoot toward him from all directions, their speed 80 as they attempt to overshelm the boy as the serpent circles to see if the snakes will do their hob and overwhelm him as they fill the pond and the surrounding area for a 50 meter diameter resembling a massive breeding ball. Should he be struck by the serpants his speed would take massive hits as they bite and latch onto him. Their speed 80 and strength 75, his putting fang sharpness at 75 + sharkness amplification of +77.5 putting sharpness at 153 rounded up and easily enough to pierce the users skin with the durability of 80.



Keeping the same AP expending for slithering snake as last post as this was just a timeline adjustment.

Clone has 905-45 for Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes. = 860

Those with health less than jutsu power are slowed by half of jutsu power, each time they are bitten after this reduces speed by 10.
