Cleaver sword

Moving at his full momentum, Darui's clone veered off his path and towards the earth clone that was aiming to fight the lightning beast. Before the clone would reach it before it could lift its sword to fight the lightning beast. Darui's clone would be within two meters of the earth clone due to the differences in speed of him and the beast, and without stopping, he would make a slash at the clone's hips with the sword, cutting the top from the bottom once he was a meter and a half away. Moving past the clone he would slow down slightly, veering off to the left and back towards the other clones, where he would pick up his pace once again. Since the other clone had disappeared into the rain, there was no real way for him to confirm its location until it showed its face again. Instead he focused on his original target, the clone that had raised his sword in preparation to fight him. Moving in, once he made it within range, presuming the clone hadn't done anything as of yet, Darui's clone would swing in a diagonal swipe from the target's shoulder to it's hip, bisecting this clone as well. If it attempted to block with its katana, which it had no reason not to, the katana would snap from the sharpness and weight of the Cleaver sword. If these two clones were finished, he would deactivate the legendary power granted by the weapon and chase after the Kouse who popped out of the ground before running off towards the woods. Couldn't let this fight go away or anything like that. 

Having had his eye on the clone, the jounin would be aware of that it had used the hiding in rain technique. Since the clone he had killed couldn't move until it reformed, the second that the clone began to do so, Darui simply pulled a kunai from his weapon pouch. The kunai already had an explosive tag wrapped around the handle, as another one had. The third explosive tag was sitting on the inside of his flak jacket. Lighting the fuse on the kunai in his hand, he tossed the weapon into the reforming pile of goop and darted off a meter to the right. Before it could finish reforming, he would activate the fuse on the tag and blow the clone up for a second time. The second the clone that had used the hidden in the rain jutsu revealed himself, Darui would pick up on the chakra source as soon as it popped up thanks to basic sensory. 

Gripping the handle of the real cleaver sword, he spun around and unsheathed it as he did so, smashing it through the clone with all of his strength before unfolding it in case the clone decided to go for round two. If not, he would turn his attention back to the other clones. (Provided the clone continues through with the action of showing himself in an attempt to punch Darui, since he originally only did this when the reforming clone shouted at Darui.)

[Darui: 165 AP

Darui's Clone: 210 AP

The moment the clone facing the lightning beast realised his opponent wasn't going to come after him. He would stick his sword into the ground,over a meter(150cm) to his right to enable him perform a large scale ninjutsu attack at the lightning beast but that was when he noticed daruis clone charging towards him..immediately performing the necessary hand seals for the substitution technique, and the moment daruis clone slashed down at him with the cleaver sword, the clone switched positions with the sword..the instant said clone appeared at the swords location,his hand would point at daruis clone, releasing an arrow from point blank range and straight into daruis clones ear.

The clone facing daruis clone was a bit surprised when said clone suddenly changed directions, rushing towards Kouse's other clone. For some reason the lightning beast had stopped 10 metres short of the clone it was supposed to attack, but now daruis clone had left its original target and rushed towards the lightning beast's target.
The clone that had been snubbed by daruis clone quickly performed the ram hand seal. With sword drawn, it would make use of the bodyflicker jutsu, moving at speeds of 200 after daruis clone. As daruis clone got to within two metres of Kouse's other earth clone, so did the clone, stopping at just a metre behind daruis clone, the moment he stopped he would leap a few extra metres towards daruis clone whilst swinging his sword towards the neck of daruis clone at his full speed of 100, cutting right through the body of the clone,from top to bottom ,cause daruis clone didn't stop moving even as he went in for the kill. King chame made a slow and quiet journey until he got to within 30 yards of the real darui then he would halt, moving not straight through, but in a wide arc..putting at least 28 metres gap from the lightning beast at all times all the while still in its camouflage mode,and while darui was busy with other things,it would be difficult if not impossible to notice him.

Somewhere hidden in the trees, kouse put the distance to 700 metres, he would completely change positions..constantly moving to the right as he moved farther away from the battle, no need risking his life and dying for no reason.

Darui didn't even let the earth clone to completely reform itself before he blew it to hell. This made the clone hidden in the rain reform itself exactly 30 metres away from darui.
"Alright..I'll have to say..your a real tough one and right now I've got no surprises left" the clone that just reformed would look up straight at darui with his sword drawn. "Alright let's end this by seeing who's sword and taijutsu skills are better, no more tricks,let's end this". The clone would say, making a stance and awaiting daruis reply and his action. He knew he wouldn't stand a chance against that huge sword, he knew darui was smart enough to know he'd win if he accepted the challenge, but kouse was never the type to admit defeat, he'll go down swinging, well his clone will anyhow.

[Just wanted to make a few notes about stats and such. Jumping speed is a substat. Since this clone wasn’t moving prior to the jump, the equation would be half of the average of speed and strength. (speed + strength/2/2) Also you seem to be ignoring the momentum rule. A character cannot move at full speed when running or jumping unless they were moving in the post prior to this. When it comes to weapon swings and what not, those can happen at full speed and all that.]

Right before Kouse’s clone could finish sticking his sword into the ground, Darui’s clone was already upon him. Considering how he wasn’t swinging down, but horizontally, Darui’s clone would hit Kouse’s clone relatively easily. But how does this happen you ask? Well speed is a fickle bitch, and it obviously favors Darui this go ‘round. The clone, not quite as Darui had planned, would instead wind up being decapitated since the earth clone ducked to slam the sword into the ground as he continued to sprint past. Using chakra sensory, he had known that the only other nearby earth clone had body flickered a meter behind him when he was two meters from the target clone. Since he had kept running, Darui’s clone would instead be on the other side of the decapitated clone as the one that had jumped at roughly the same time it had jumped, since the jumping clone was nowhere near as fast as Darui. As he slid to a dead stop while turning around and raising his hand to let forth a Black Panther while the other earth clone was still in air. This left the clone in air with no way to avoid the attack, and the panther would smash through its midsection, bisecting the clone. 

If these two reformed, Darui’s clone would already be pulling out two kunai wrapped with explosive tags from his pocket. He would then light both fuses and toss them into the clones while backpedaling to put just a bit more distance between himself and the blast radius although it was unnecessary. The second he had exited the blast zone, he would manually detonate both before going after the real Kouse, whom he knew had taken off to the trees. 

If the two didn’t reform, he would simply chase after the Kouse that had gone to the trees. He wasn’t sure exactly where to look, but he had an approximate area and some chakra sensory, it wouldn’t be that hard to find him. 

As previously stated, Darui had known the summon was moving about, but he let it go since it was fairly harmless up to this point. Since the clone that was reforming itself had decided it best not to reform once more, lest Darui blow it to hell again, he focused on the clone that had decided to reveal itself from the rain. Being the man of few words he was, he would simply nod as the clone had to say whatever it was he had to say, remaining aware of the surrounding dangers. Namely, the summon and the other clones, provided other Darui hadn’t taken care of them properly. As this other and probably single remaining earth clone took a stance, Darui struck a similar stance and unfolded his Cleaver Sword. 

That’s not to say he accepted the challenge vocally, he had just risen his sword so that if this earth clone attacked him back, he could defend himself.

Kouse's clone watched closely as darui held out his sword with only a nod. But what got his attention was the body language of darui. He wasn't attacking but waiting for kouse to attack first. Then it hit him.. Hard. Darui wasn't the aggressor here. He was. Without finding out who he truly was, he had listened to his guts and had attacked him. He began to doubt his actions, whether it was right or wrong. 
Bits and pieces of their encounter so far began pouring Into kouse's clones head. 
'So the leaf is still standing? That's good to hear. Maybe Kumo is still going strong..... I'm darui-'. 

Kouse's clone realised that all darui had been doing so far was defending himself and he had been the one attacking. Kouse's clone would take a gamble and would drop his sword slowly on the ground beside him and slowly raise both hands up showing that he was unarmed. He would Surrender. 
He would speak up. "hold on... You didnt rush towards me to finish me off just now even though you knew you had the advantage, why is that?". 

He wanted to know if he was right to attack darui after all or wrong. He would pause to wait for daruis reply before going on. "Also I would like to know who I'm fighting with.. Name and what village your from..my apologies for previously stopping you from telling me,I previously thought you were a rogue ninja or something and would kill me the moment I let my guard down...but I would like to know now". 
King chame would move to stay in front of kouse's clone before he began talking.Kouse's clone would keep both hands up as he said all this. 

Kouse 200 meters away would wait it out in the trees.


Kouse's ap=164
Gentle help - 50=500

Well, I guess we can go ahead and assume that Darui’s clone dispatched the other two that he was being troubled with. With that task out of the way, he would march onwards towards Kouse’s general direction, where he last sensed the boy moving underground. The entire time he strode, his sensory would be active, so there would be little opportunity for a surprise attack. Once he was in range of the boy, the clone would call him out. 

The real Darui, however, had no reaction to any of the words that this clone of Kouse had to say. Seeing as it was the final clone, he was more than likely just going to dispatch it and call it a day. Walking to the clone, he continued to feel out the area for any chakra signatures, and once he was within one meter, he would swing the sword horizontally through its midsection.

Provided the clone didn’t get back up, that would be the end of Kouse’s clones.

[No AP used
Darui: 165 AP
Darui’s Clone: 130 AP]

Kouse's clone watched closely as darui walked towards him. After all he had said he didn't expect darui to remain quiet. But as he watched him walk closer his guts told him to try to defend himself, not to stay vulnerable. But the clone shook away those thoughts. It was his guts that had made him attack unprovoked. He had deceived himself into thinking he was right when infact he had been the aggressor in this fight.
His body screamed to take action as darui got to 15 meters of him but he fought it......then 10 meters. He looked at the big ass sword darui held and gulped. He was just a clone after all.
   Once darui got past 5 meters King chame would push himself up and activate the attack reflection technique.

The moment darui swung his sword at Kouse's clone it would instead hit chame, which he would block..then absorb the force used, sending it back at darui at the same force.
The clone would immediately take out two kunais and throw them both straight at darui's face and neck at speeds of 148...the same moment chame reflected the attack whilst taking steps back. 

200 meters away kouse would hear daruis clone call him out. He wasn't stupid. He could play risky games with his clones. But he wasn't the type to run. He could avoid risks by using his clones to fight while he stretched his legs someplace else. But he wasn't going to run when he was found and called out.

Kouse would walk out from his hiding spot. 80 meters separating him and the clone. His sword a meter beside him where he dropped it.
"Alright you got me" he would shout at the clone. 
If he was going down. He would go down swinging,facing his opponent at least.



-75ap from chame for attack reflection and gentle help upkeep.

King Chame’s reflection technique wasn’t enough to prevent Darui’s sword from cutting through the lizard. As its body slumped over, it would catch the kunai Kouse’s clone had thrown instead of Darui (seeing as the lizard was in front of Darui, enough to block his sword.). The body would then desummon, where King Chame would either be declared dead by the other lizards, or saved if he could be. 

(King Chame’s reflection technique can only block up to 120 power/sharpness/strength. Darui’s sword has a base of 170.) 

With the summon out of the way, he would just dance around with the clone until his own clone had managed to finish off Kouse. No, not literally dance, please don’t try any of that. 

Darui’s clone would close the remaining eighty meters between Kouse and him with a slight jog, coming to a stop at ten meters provided that the boy didn’t do anything. If the boy did do something, he would react accordingly, however. 

Once he had stopped, the clone would bring his hands together to form the hand seals for the Laser Circus technique. Upon completion of the Dragon hand seal, a bright ring of what appeared be pure energy would form around the clone’s hands. Upon its formation, fifteen solid beams would erupt from the center of the ring, five of which would go straight for Kouse. Five would shoot off slightly to the left, and five more would shoot off slightly to the right all at the same time. These were spread out enough so that if Kouse had turned his body to the side, he would fit in the gaps. (That would probably be a bad idea though, seeing as their direction can be changed before they hit the max range.)

[No AP used for Darui.

Darui’s Clone: - 40 AP for laser circus (85 speed and power)
90 AP remaining]

The clone hesitated for only a moment in surprise when chame failed to even block the attack let alone reflect daruis attack. He was going to let go of both kunais once daruis attack was reflected. But on seeing how chame failed unexpectedly,he held on to both kunai for a moment longer. And as king chame de-summoned he instantly threw both kunais at darui making sure they wouldn't get blocked by the sword(seeing as he saw what path the sword followed and that the sword was flat that wasn't too hard to do)with the same speed and at the same locations as was stated before, right through the puff of smoke chame created as he de-summoned. Making it impossible for darui to see said kunais in time. 

Kouse's clone had taken a step back from chame before darui hit it with the sword. But had hesitated for a moment seeing chame unable to reflect daruis attack. But when he did throw the kunais...he had just taken another step further away from chame. So he had thrown the kunai from just over 2 meters from behind chame and with darui just a metre in front of chame, the total distance of travel would be just about 4 meters. Seeing as the puff of smoke would make darui unable to see directly in front of him.

King chame watched as darui slowly but surely covered the last remaining distance separating the summon from darui. He didn't know why he moved so slowly though, maybe he was confident that no matter what Kouse's clone or he could throw at him he could counter easily and sufficiently. King chame wasn't the type to get scared in front of an enemy but he knew that darui shouldn't be underestimated. He would block,absorb and reflect the incoming attack. That was the plan. 
Darui finally arrived. Taking his sweet time. The sword swung slowly but surely towards him. He braced himself. The sword hit the invisible barrier that was supposed to reflect the attack but apparently darui had enough strength to go through it without breaking a sweat. The moment he realised blocking said attack was an impossibility and with darui swinging so slowly he could de-summon himself just before the sword could cut him too deeply. Meaning darui had not yet gotten through half way of his sword swing when chame de-summoned. So in addition to him not being able to see he would still be swinging his sword when both kunais where launched.

The instant daruis clone began moving, kouse jumped into action. Performing the necessary hand seals to make a water clone. Once done kouse would then perform the hiding in the rain technique, blending into the rain as fast as he could.
The moment the water clone was created it would immediately start moving towards daruis clone and would stop after moving 15 metres towards Daruis clone. Kouse's clone would challenge him with sword drawn. He would just hope daruis clone wouldn't realise too soon that Kouse's clone was far weaker than he.


Kouse..-20ap for clone,-30ap for hiding in rain....I didn't add the ap of the clone that got blown up..+24ap...=138ap.

Mid way through his swing, Darui’s right hand would let go of the weapon, while the left carried it through the rest of the motion. Registering the smoke from the summon de-summoning itself to be some sort of poison, he would throw said arm up to his face as he lowered his head just in time for one of the kunai to pierce the skin, but not the whole arm. The other would glide past his ear, snagging the cartilage as it flew, due to the changing position of Darui’s head. The boy’s first direct hit on the jounin had landed, due to arrogance. Almost immediately after the kunai struck his arm, he would return his attention to the opponent and thrust his injured arm forward, his palm pointed directly at the clone’s mid section. Just as Kouse’s clone was setting his feet down, a lightning beast similar to the one used moments ago would come forth from his hand, forming near instantly. After it had fully formed, the hound would already be in motion towards the clone, ramming through it and electrifying the body. Considering the short distance and difference in speed, there wouldn’t be many ways out of the attack. 

The lightning beast would of course, only be used if Kouse’s clone hadn’t moved after throwing the kunai. Should Darui look up to see that his opponent was definitely going to avoid the hound, (such as moving out of the range or what not) he would suppress his chakra before it would leave his hand.

Darui’s Clone would come to a full stop fifteen meters away from and hesitate slightly at the sight of yet another clone. At this point, he thought of them as no challenge, and would continue to slowly walk towards the clone to close the distance, keeping his mind on Kouse. As he walked, he would bring the sword behind his back and slam it into its sheathe, drawing forth two kunai with explosive tags wrapped around the handles with his free hand from the a pocket in the same place that the real Darui had drawn his kunai from. At ten meters, he would toss one of the kunai to his left hand, which was previously holding the sword and catch it. Exhaling, he would continue to approach the clone.

[Skipping since it's been over 48 hours, and an attempt to reach him had been made.]

Seeing as how the clone paused in its movements, the mass of lightning that came from Darui's hand would pierce the body, thereby causing the clone to do as the other earth clones had. Should, and only if the clone were to stay down, he would begin to make his way over to the real Kouse, the water clone, and his own shadow clone, stopping thirty meters out.

At about the same time that Darui had launched the jutsu at the earth clone, Darui's shadow clone would begin to run towards the water clone. While doing so, he would grip his cloned version of the Cleaver Sword tight in his hands. Once he neared three meters, he would begin to position the sword so that it was over his head for overhead strike. About this time, Darui would have made his way over to his destination.

With a downwards swing he would bring the sword down over the head of the water clone, which up to this point had stood still. (of course max speed and strength and what not)
