The End of it All (Village Destruction)

He was mighty thankful to have someone with the Byakugan on their end. Knowing what their enemies were doing as it was happening made it easier to adjust and counter. While the opposition had been meditating and even copying Kizmaru's play, Ibari had wondered what would come of this. Either way as Souji finished giving them the heads up, Ibari would finally drop using the Limitation Removal technique. He could feel the negative effects of it starting to take hold, but he was not done here yet. As the technique ended another would immediately take its place. From within a large well of Nature Chakra would emit from his body, creating a cyan cloak an inch off of his body and causing a single protruding horn to pop out of his head. At the same time the chakra was forming, he would begin to whistle and surge chakra through his Iron Sand to form two things. His Iron Sand armor and two 5 meter by 2 Meter hands that would float just 2 meters above him. The ground would ache and moan under the pressure of the battle as the opposition took a book out of Kizmaru's shoes. What a life to play copycat, but in a battle beggars could not be choosers. Ibari's own eyes could see the massive beam coming toward them. Even with the speed of it, they still had some time to respond. Within Ibari's left eye a power would emerge and churn forward, the power being invisible to the eye but with all of the doujutsu about it still would do nothing for them. As the beam continued to barrel forward it would pass through the wave emitted by his left eye and Ganesha would take hold of it, weakening its power by 70.

With that he could feel the chakra of Kizmaru wane and then weakened, his head only turning slightly to see his body begin to fall. With a single mental command the left iron hand would swiftly move to grab and cradle the Kiri ninja to prevent him from falling, while also moving underneath Souji and Keita. The second chakra to fade would be the other Kiri ninja, the result of the oncoming beam and some technique spouted from Souji. With everything going on the best bet for them would be to retreat.. Running was never an option for Ibari, but this would be the only and last exception. Jumping onto the right hand that had been under Souji and now the dead Keita the hands would move away as the body of Kizmaru would be deposited onto the right hand and the left would hover above them, creating a shield that would prevent any falling debris from hitting them. The two would escape as the left hand clasped over them creating a perfect circle that would retreat over the cliff and away from the village proper. Just in case, Ibari would have made a slot within the Iron Hand sphere that would still allow him to see the battlefield just in case someone had came for them.

Going to state it is impossible for Jaye to exit as you can't fly higher than 50m from your start point. He is 100m from the ground of a 300m cliff. Which they slid off of at best he reached 150m high on the cliff. His options are left and right since he kind of just went up he is still entirely visible.

With the golem falling apart it was time to act. Activing sage mode and weaving seals for the ninjutsu amp followed by seals for Kanzeon Lotus King. His own golem would spawn (250 power, speed, and health) The golem forming under the Terumi its arms outstretched to pick up its allies if they desired.

It would then fire beam a beam (250 power and speed) from its head composed of lightning natured chakra at the group flying using iron sand. The beam hitting where they suddenly stopped as if they could not climb higher.

At the same time these beams were fired the giant would start moving toward the cliff. It didn't need to run with its massive frame to close the distance quickly it avoided his allies in terms of stepping on them. Activating his EMS he could see the duo and have the Kanzeon point to their location using one of its many hands on the back. Unless something happened the giant would move to the base of the cliff follow the floating pair and shield the Terumi with its highly defensible hands leaving enough gap in its fingers to allow sight of the opposing group, but not enough for falling debris to rain down on him.

Spoiler:

A huge cheer echoed through the valley behind the line of defense at the gates. Hoshigakure ninjas of all ages and ranks were positioned there. The bulk of the army crowd was made of pikemen, sworders, knights, and men-at-arms, one in ten blessed with the ability to harness chakra. But they were the village's people, and all had shown up to defend it. Kages were nothing without the men and women that gave them meaning.

The strike was a success, with the opposition's golem crumbling upon impact with the beam—the blue light of the chakra signatures of the two combatants melting away into the darkness. Another Titan belonging to Akabayashi Terumi rose.  Ayato walked to the wooden arm that reached out for him and was elevated to the top of the golem's head, 2 meters behind the Terumi and slightly to his right.  He believed that Yamato, who he had spotted in the crowd, would also make the distance. Fu’s return wasn’t interrupted, and she made it safely to the Kage’s site. Ayato would expect her to join them.

“You know, when you said you wanted to open Hoshigakure to the world, that isn't what I had in mind,” Dusk yelled from the top of his lungs so that the wind wouldn't silence them.

“What did you have in mind?' 
“Shinobi Olympics. Maybe an Ichiraku Ramen.” Dusk would move his Kanzeon out of the way with a quick sidestep to avoid the Vulture’s Titan ramming into Dusk’s. He would take this round to keep his distance and charge another All is Suffering.

Souji used that area of effect hellfire as a defense. Ayato had seen that strategy before. Down to the letter, you were even sacrificing your compatriots if it meant saving your skin. The two who survived the blast were attempting to escape—using a series of jutsu that Ayato had never seen before. Massive arms were formed out of what appeared to be Earth Release, but one could never be too specific. 

The mysterious shinobi used these gigantic hands to launch himself from what remained of their Golem’s head far into the sky. But not far enough. Even though the golem had given them a good head start 50 meters from the ground, the arms launched them an additional 50. They traveled one hundred meters of the 300-meter ridge before their ascend came to a sudden halt. It was there that the Akabayashi beam of lightning targeted them.

On top of the Titan, Ayato activated his Snowraven Sage mode to fly 50 additional meters in the cloudy sky, 100 meters from the ground. The diagonal beam of lightning dozens of meters below Kage would move towards his targets. The Hyuuga stopped when he was 20 meters away and horizontally from Ibari. Ayato would select a point within his line of sight and begin executing a set of handseals for a jutsu with his right hand and a different set with his left. The spawning point for Nageki was created 3.1 meters behind Ibari, engulfing the two hands made of iron sand and the surrounding area in its space-time chakra. The aim was to weaken the health stat of the iron sand hands by 50.

Ayato would fire a beam from his right hand towards Ibari and a charged Thaumostellar Moralltach. The finest weapon the Archives had to offer. The Kage was watchful of his surroundings, preparing to react accordingly.

Spoiler:

Watching the titan fall, Yamato abandoned his post as he would not let the opportunity pass him by to get close to finish the fight. Whether it meant killing, taking prisoner, or even running the invaders away…the end of it was quickly coming, and he was starting to show that Terumi attitude as he smiled, knowing that a more personal battle was now near. When the hand of the titan was outstretched for Hoshigakure’s allies and Kage, he was quick on the uptake and hopped on it and then the new titan’s head as he watched the titan move quickly. Ayato was quick to join them as well, as he looked ready to end this. When the titan continued to move and then fired off its attacks, he noticed Ayato taking to the sky, and he was not going to miss out on the attack. He activated the seal for the Peacock Blessing jutsu, and he felt his chakra and power grow with sudden ferocious power. He took to the sky, moving to attack the side that Ayato was not targeting. However, first, he needed to get close enough as he needed to be within 30 meters of his target.

Flying like a mad dragon, moving at a speed of 240 he would continue his assault as soon as he was within the specified striking distance from above yet on Ayato's 3 o clock activating the seal used for the Spellbinding seal once within 25 meters of Ibari. As long as he was not attacked or interrupted during this transition, he would choose the target of his spellbinding seal to be the iron sand hands, with the power needing to be beaten would be 250 power. Anything under would be absorbed. While following through, as he outstretched his right hand aiming down towards Ibari, he would whistle the seals needed for Empty Disaster, immediately firing upon his position; the beam of 25 meters would fire off at a speed of 240 and 240 power. This lethal move ensured that he would finish this fight, but he also felt the pain from Peacock hitting him, and it stung.

Jutsu, skills, AP, Stats:

The wolf would witness as the tides of battle seemed to have shifted. A concentrated beam of chakra slammed into the position of their adversaries. There would be some sort of defense mounted as one of them would spout flames to collide with the beam, an effort to stop it from colliding with the remaining members of the assault team. 

The wolf felt his cloak jutsu fade to nothing and would no longer fuel the other, his position now being readily viewable to any and all that looked in his direction. The enemies remained aloft in some capacity, to which the wolf would just huff. He was geared for up close and personal combat, not this flighty combat of mages flinging magic at one another from fields away. Still, the others in the defense team were far more prepared for such a style of combat. Surging with chakra pumping through all of his body the wolf would quickly reposition himself towards the enemies, aiming to finish off any targets that the others could swat from the sky. 

All parties seemed to press the attack. The wolf kept his senses about him, ready to capture - or if need be execute - those that decided to assault the village he calls home. He doubted that the Doctor would allow for any such mercy, but perhaps the "Kage of Second Chances" would permit them to live. Such a decision was ultimately out of his hands... unless an attacker directly forced the matter. 

Finding himself near the bottom of the cliffs, positioned in such a way that he wouldn't be caught in any of the falling rubble nor was he directly underfoot of any of the towering wooden giants. Should the attacks of the others remove these adversaries methods of keeping afloat, the wolf was ready to finish this.

This had not been the first time that Fu had witnessed Ayato and company defend the village of Hoshigakure from outside threats with no remorse. The first time, she had watched a man and a child be wiped from the face of the Earth. She may have felt that it had been overkill in the moment, but she had later found out that the man had been a S-Rank Missing Ninja from her home, Konoha. This situation was no different. Fu watched the beam of light, that had been produced by her own ally’s golem, decimate the oppositions, causing it to crumble.
 
Another wooden golem would rise on their side, this time, belonging to the Nova that had brought Fu in for breaking the law. Fu followed Ayato closely and the two were lifted by the golem’s arms, along with Shinrei, and were placed on the titan’s head. Now on the golems head, Ayato was 2 meters behind Akabayashi and Fu was 1 meter to Ayato’s right.
 
The Nova’s titan then fired off a powerful beam at the assailants. Fu watched the beam travel towards it’s intended target with a brazen expression upon her face, wondering if this would be the final attack of the battle. She had been lucky enough to return from her initial flight unscathed, but now, she remained still as her comrades sprang into action. Ayato activated a technique which caused him to sprout wings and a halo, then took flight.
 
Following the Hogokage’s lead, a flurry of colored chakra concentrates would burst from Shinrei’s back and then the shinobi would take flight from the golem’s head too, leaving Fu with the Nova and his titan. For the time being, Fu would remain on the titan’s head surveying the ongoing assault with her sharingan, keeping a close eye out for an opportunity for her to intervene if needed. She kept her magnetic flight activated in the case she would need to evacuate the golems head.

Spoiler:

Kaze, in his controlled descent, noticed the build up of chakra around him, as well as beyond. He notice that Ibari chakra was forming something, but that was not the concern to him, it was where it was forming. “You fool! You’re being greedy!” he would shout. Taking it upon himself to alter his course of descending from Ibari at a speed of 240. Moving from where the Anbu’s Jutsu were forming, delving towards the left - being the right from the perspective of those of the village. He would move at such a rate while progressing towards the ground. It was at this time that his Byakugan picked up the another massive build up in chakra coming from another member of the Hoshi team. It carried the same spike in chakra as the avatar that both Kizmaru and Dusk conjured. He knew from that it had to be the same structure. And so it was. The one that was meditating not only summoned such a Jutsu, but also popped an enhancer of some sort. 

This avatar would then fire a beam where he once was, now being 50 meters from where Ibari was and at a much lower air space - 75 meters lower at that. Making him 75 meters off the ground. Kaze would also notice the approach of both Yamato and Ayato towards Ibari’s location. He knew from that moment it was to either capture or land a deciding blow on Ibari if need be. He was far from them, he even assumed that they figured he wasn’t worth the hassle. Being gaining an additional 50 meters and coming into contact with the ground while altering the speed dramatically from 240 to 1 as he did for a safe landing and continuing his escape with a dash at 240. The Hyuuga was now 100 meters from Ibari and the other. Including Sebastian who was waiting at the base not too close to the crumbling avatar of Kiz. 

With keen decision making, the Hyuuga did not collide into anything and his path of choice was without impede. They were all focused on Ibari. Was he really that much of a threat? Kaze couldn’t care less, but Souji deep within his subconscious was pleading for Kaze to not abandon his comrade. He knew what that felt like. Kaze ignored him. The small plateau may have been 300 meters high, but it was only 100 meters wide. With them being at the center before Kiz’s death Kaze only needed to move 50 meters to get around. The additional 50 was for a breather.  

The Hyuuga would note a clear path from where he was back to the boarders. He would dash through this path safely to escape. He does not crash or trip or anything. His sprinting route was not impeded in any form or way. It was safe for him. He would leave Ibari behind. Hos Byakugan still active, a clear scene of his surroundings. It only took him 5 meters of sprinting to disappear from everyone’s view due to the plateau placement. 

With that, the Hyuuga would take his hasty retreat.

The climax of the battle was soon coming to a head. All that remained was Souji and Ibari. Kizmaru and Keita had both fell to the first beam shot, and still they pressed forward. With the hands being made, he could see Souji moving away from them and the words he had spouted caused him to stop his previous action of grabbing the deceased bodies of both Kizmaru and Keita. He was right that it was probably greed that he would try to save them and he should have focused on saving their own lives. Since he could see Souji moving downward, he would use one of the hands to provide support and cover Souji but for a moment. At the same time, Ibari(Moving at 250 due to still being on one of the iron hands) would move opposite of Souji in the other direction to take on the heat of the battle himself for this would be his last stand. This of course would put him 50 meters to the right and 75 meters off the ground but this was fine. The beam that would have been fired where they once were would only prove to miss them, aiming for where they were instead of where they currently were going. Missing one only meant that now was the time to counter. Seeing the others closing in on him, Ibari would smile as he would allow them no quarter to kill him and none to capture. His body would quickly begin to contort and expand as he created 8 vents upon his body. The swelling of chakra within his form would be quick and decisive as he released the beam from his location at the speed of 215, but once the beam had only made it 5 meters he would supercharge it causing it to explode and expand 50 meters in all directions capturing anyone in all directions in its embrace. Of course Ibari knew that also meant himself and as the explosion threatened to take his own life he would release his sand armor and cloak and embrace his final moments. Luckily his comrade would have been out of the way of the explosion and the enemy would have to deal with it first before getting to him. With at least protecting Souji in his final moments he would let out a final sigh as the explosion ruptured his body, destroying it and his items in the process. Maybe now he could get some of that rest that his friends were talking about.

[Claiming Death and Destruction of Ibari]

Math:
Multiple Blah Blah Cannons (215 Power/Speed) Expending 2 Nature stacks to bypass Hand seals +50 AP to cause explosion.

We are going to place at less than 50m due to our height on top of my 50m tall giant near Ibari before he "self-destructs" as Souji at 240 moved from 50m high to ground level. 50m over to the middle of the chasm. "Being gaining an additional 50 meters and coming into contact with the ground while altering the speed dramatically from 240 to 1 as he did for a safe landing and continuing his escape with a dash at 240." And "With them being at the center before Kiz’s death, Kaze only needed to move 50 meters to get around." Souji wrote both.  Then we have this written by Jaye: "Luckily, his comrade would have been out of the way of the explosion, and the enemy would have to deal with it first before getting to him." Basically a ton of distance was covered by Souji who is moving slower than me, therefore I would be close to Jaye in some capacity. Yet still slightly less than 50m underneath him as he went up. This is more important for my post.


"Once the beam had only made it 5 meters, he would supercharge it, causing it to explode and expand 50 meters in all directions, capturing anyone in all directions in its embrace. Of course, Ibari knew that also meant himself, and as the explosion threatened to take his own life, he would release his sand armor and cloak and embrace his final moments." The internal damage to Ibari's body didn't happen until the beam reached 5m. That is the important part of what I do.


With his proximity and enhanced vision, Akabayashi immediately recognized the threat of the beam before it moved even a centimeter off his opponent, who was floating about on metal hands. Yet he waited. As the beam reached 3m and 1cm, a green apparition would appear inside the attack, which, unless you had a byakugan, you couldn't see, making it weaken the attack and remove its natural energy. The ghost would duplicate and return to the Terumi to drop off his meal, reaching the Doctor at the same time as the explosion. The ghost inside the attack by Ibari would remain, debuffing its power by 70. Unless the iron sand user knew the attack was diminished, he could not alter his course. What the opponent thought would kill them would only mangle them, putting them into a vegetative state due to its drastically weakened power.


Within that same period after the explosion from Ibari began, at the 5m mark, the Terumi released his fire mask from his body and had it carry him. Holding the ninja up with its monkey-like feet as it flew him away from the explosion and toward Souji at 240 speed, the creature avoided any falling debris. If the explosion ever came within 10m of the Terumi of his 1m long and tall beast, he would weave seals for the Seal of Absorption, place it on himself, and activate it to absorb the blast. (Power 150 for absorption vs. 145 for nonself connected cannons.) To think the doctor would let a valuable body run off was laughable. With the ninja on the ground and the Terumi's beast able to move through the air, this chase wouldn't be long, and the longer this one chose to run, the more painful his death would be. The others, while Akabayashi was close enough, could use his giant for cover from the explosion if needed.

” Since that happened”:

With the attack on the invaders having shifted into its final phase, Yamato saw that Ibari was letting out his last death throw; Akabayashi was quick, launching his little ghost to do something unbeknownst to Yamato. Ibari was all but successful as Yamato absorbed the blast after being fired and debuffed by Akabayashi. The peacock's blessing burned his body again as he watched Ibari’s body begin to fall. He used the peacock's blessing for flight and pulled his katana from its sheath at his left hip, whistling the triggers for the Discovery of an Incomplete truth technique, and following up with the ever-revered Sacred Spear, he brandished his blade in his right hand and aimed for Ibari’s skull. “Rot in hell, you piece of shit.”  He said as he extended the sword straight at him for 30 meters. If it hits the ground, it will penetrate it, leaving his body hanging like a sick-looking statue on his blade after it pierces his brain. His power was 165, and his speed was 190 as he watched the edge do what it was designed to do. Once it was over and the body seemed to start to slide down the blade, Yamato would sheathe his sword before he moved to fetch the body, and the others fell, and then he flew through the air. The deadweight was weighing him down, and he would be forced to land soon. He would reach the ground and away from the Lotus Kings at maximum speed. The objective was complete as he watched his older Terumi clansman move to intercept the runaway. Yamato sighed. They repelled the invasion, and it was time to meet with the kage.
