March 'Til Dawn Brings Death

Xzelaxer look around not getting a single clue what's going on. He notice some strange and likely dangerous technique that he never seen before. [colof=violet]"I guess i have many thing to learn..."[/color] mumbled Xzelaxer. He doesn't sheath his Katana yet just in case someone attack him but it's not likely. He assume that at least his foe would say hello...in a cold way. He notice that one of the Kumograkure ninja is making him move. He's making many clone of himself going different way. Some are attacking and one of them pace to defend the guy who has one of his eye cover with hair. "Multi-Task?" murmured Xzelaxer giving off a sight chuckle. And at the very next second he realize it. One of the clone is pacing toward him and it's too late to realize. The clone travel at very fast speed that Xzelaxer tried to keep up with it but couldn't. "He's so fast for just a clone. This guy really is something...perhap he's not an ordinary genin after all" All of a sudden, it appear behind him and grab his neck tight. "Argh! This is unexpected. So this is how he say hello" mumbled Xzelaxer grinning his teeth, struggling to break free. He raise his Katana slightly poiting the pointer toward his back. He forcefully attempt to stab the clone.

[Nash dead.]

Evens saw the Hokage dead.
Killed by the Raikage. A smile appeared.

He then thought about the Yonbi inside of the Hokage.
Is the Yonbi dead like the Hokage he thought inside his head.
His anger to die was little now but the battle for Kumo wasn't finished.

There was still some other Genins left.
He knew he was needed to help.

Evens saw the genin(Xzelaxer) getting loose. He then formed the ram handsign to get close to the leaf genin with Body Flicker.

While in the fast and untraceable speed rushing against the genin not too long away.
While running he held his hand behind him and charged chakra into it.

His hand was glowing blue, but then suddenly, the glowing sparks disappeared.
Evens was very close and aimed for the solar plexus of the genin.

((OOC: Was told to do my Joining Post again, since it got voided due to the Yonbi Unleashing Post being Voided. So, here it is.))


Kursiu had been doing his routine training deep in the mountains outside of Kumogakure no Sato. While an intense battle had taken place between the Hokage and the Raikage, he had no idea what was going on, completely ignorant of the destruction being laid down on Kumogakure, his home. He’d been training for what seemed like hours before the battle grew intense enough to draw attention from outsiders. Sounds of loud explosions echoed throughout the mountain range, the sound of swords clashing, kunai clinging off the ground, and shuriken spinning through the air made him turn around to see what all the commotion was about. The most puzzling thing was a glowing red chakra that he could barely see from where he was at. He didn’t know about the power of Jinchuriki nor did he even know there was one fighting at the village who just happened to be the Hokage. ’What the hell is going on over there’ he thought to himself looking back at where Kumogakure no Sato was at.

He was a little taken aback by the scene coming from the village, Kumogakure no Sato. The large part of the village around the Raikage’s office seemed to be intact, probably only taking minor infrastructural damage due to the explosions from various types of jutsu that were being sent out. It was indeed a high level shinobi battle, but at the time he didn’t know the Raikage and Deputy Raikage had been battling against the Hokage himself, the leader of Konohagakure no Sato, a village he hated with every ounce of his body and soul.

He dashed forward, hopping onto mountaintop to mountaintop, getting closer to the village. Once he was only a few hundred feet from the village, he could see a lot more detail of the battle, and getting on top of a mountain only 50 feet from where the Raikage’s Office was at he could tell exactly what was happening. He may not have understand every detail, but he could see the Deputy Raikage using Lightning Release Armor, meaning that the opponent had to be strong. He finally caught sight of the Hokage, clearly visable by his Kage outfit and Konohagakure headband. He felt a surge of anger overcome him, remembering how Konohagakure was responsible for his parents death, today he’d get his revenge somehow or so he thought. In a matter of seconds after getting close enough to see the battle that was unfolding, the Raikage killed the Hokage. ’He did it…’ his thought trailed off, looking at the man he fully held responsible for the death of his parents, being killed by the man he admired so much, the Raikage. He wished he had been the one to take out the leader of Konohagakure, but it didn’t matter who did it, so long as the Hokage died in battle against Kumogakure. He sort of smiled a little at the thought.

“Raikage!” He yelled down from the mountaintop he was on, not far away from the area where the Raikage killed the Hokage. “What’s going on?” he asked, unaware of the circumstances surrounding the fight. At this point he figured Konohagakure had fully declared war on Kumogakure and it had to have been without warning. What he did wonder though was how the Hokage was so powerful and what was that red chakra he’d seen the Hokage using, clueless about the fact the Hokage was in fact a Jinchuriki of the Yonbi. “What can I do?” he questioned the Raikage and Deputy Raikage, intent on doing anything he possibly could to help out the village and make sure the battle ended quickly, noting that the Konohagakure ANBU seemed to still be attacking, and there was even a Genin. With the Hokage dead, the battled seemed decided though. He figured that with the Raikage and Deputy Raikage here to fight, and no Hokage to battle them, they had indeed won. Little did he know, or even some of the other ninja present, that something was about to happen. Hopefully, the Raikage or the Deputy Raikage had enough knowledge on the Jinchuriki to understand that the Bijuu was going to revive soon and be on a rampage, which was something neither the academy nor his family had ever taught him, something that most shinobi never bothered to learn about. Kursiu simply waited to hear what the Raikage wanted him to do, no matter the cost he’d protect the village with his last breath.

Xzelaxer's relieved he broke free from the grip. He glance at the the guy with one eye's face, then the deputy raikage, then the guy who send out clone and kill Nashua, and he notice tha another guy just join the battle. The situation is too intense for him. He's not match for any of them, and he need to get Nashua's body back. Another guy charge with him in some swift speed. He noticed the guy doing some technique and suddenly he appear in front of him. This guy is too fast and he can barely keep up witht he movement. All of a sudden, a fist came his way as Xzelaxer hastily drew forth his sword and barely block the attack. The force is strong too. Xzelaxer jump out of the place after the impact. He roll over a few time gettin nearer and nearer to Nashua's body. He finally attempt tongrab his body.

Leon waited patiently a bit further down the mountain from Xzelaxer. He hadn't really known what was going on. Xzelaxer rushed him out of the village without much warning. Just as Leon was thinking he heard Xzelaxer yell "Peace!" and he knew that he would have to start running soon. Xzelaxer sprinted at full speed and Leon quickly joined in except a little behind him. It would be better if Leon died as a medic ninja than kept himself alive and failed as a medic ninja. that's the last thing the village needed. As Leon was running he noticed something in Xzelaxer's hands. Xzelaxer was carrying the dead Hokage, Nashua. "So that's what this was about..?" Leon was a bit in shock.. he decided that getting out of there alive was more important than asking questions.

[Ok, I have no idea what I'm doing now :/ ]

The Raikage had done it. Nashua was dead. But there was another problem - he had fought with the first tail of the Yonbi, meaning that he had the Bijuu sealed within him. This was a problem, not just because it was powerful, but also because it could now escape at any time due to its host dying. At least its unleashing wouldn't be immediate - he still had some time.
With his Armour still active, the deputy Raikage pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, formed the Bijuu seal upon it and dived forward, slapping it onto Nashua's body. This bought everyone a few more seconds in which they could decide who was to be the next host.
"Whoever wants to be the next Bijuu host, get over here so I can seal it in you!" He called out, hoping someone would take on the burden for the village.

(Note that Impudent and Leon's Posts are slightly void. They cannot simply take Nashua's body and leave all in one post. Meaning they are simply attempting to grab Nashua's body, therefore Lost's post about placing the seal is valid although you could say that is an attempt also. Just clearing things up, both Impudent and Leon can still take Nashua, but they must actually succeed. That being said, here's my post I hope it puts this topic back on track and removes any confusion along with make all recent posts vaild enough to not be deleted or anything. .-.)

He’d been watching the scene unfold rather quickly before him, having just arrived back into the heart of the village, just near the Raikage’s Office, on a mountaintop barely 50 feet or so away. His eyes slowly scanned the entire area around the village, trying to pick out every specific detail he could see. He witnessed villagers being killed off by ANBU from Konohagakure no Sato, his anger towards Konoha growing even more intense. Continuing to scan the area he caught sight of a fellow Kumogakure Genin attacking a Genin from Konohagakure. Within seconds, the Konohagakure Genin seemed to deflect the attack by the Kumogakure Genin, and then just after blocking off the attack, the genin from Konohagakure jumped off in the direction of the Raikage’s Office area, the spot where the Hokage’s dead body laid and where the Deputy Raikage seemed to be trying to do something. He had to do something quickly before the konoha genin did something to make things worse.

Quick as he possibly could he made the ram hand seal, using Shunshin no Jutsu, he instant travelled in front of the Hokage’s dead body where the Deputy Raikage was at, putting himself in the way of the konoha genin. He quickly made the snake, monkey and dragon hand seals, pointing his index fingers towards the chest of konoha genin that had tried to make a move towards the dead Hokage and the Deputy Raikage. ”You better retreat now.” He told the genin, as lightning orbs formed on the tips of his index fingers. He was prepared to use his Raiton: Shikoku Raikyuu no Jutsu, and at this close of a range, it would be very difficult for someone like a genin to dodge both of the orbs, although he was sort of hoping the genin would simply turn around and leave. He didn’t feel anger towards the genin as he wasn’t alive during the time Konohagakure no Sato killed his family, meaning that the genin was more or less innocent and didn’t truly deserve to die; however Kursiu didn’t plan on hesitating if the genin made even the slightly move towards the Deputy Raikage or the dead Hokage’s body.

It was then that the Deputy Raikage had yelled out something about needing someone to take on the burden of being the host for a bijuu. He’d read the legends and heard the stories about Jinchuuriki and the power they had; although he’d also read and heard about the tough and sad lives that the Jinchuuriki had lived. There was also the risk of losing yourself to the beast within or even being hunted down to be killed for the Bijuu’s power, even the risk of being used as a weapon for war. The risks entered his mind, but he tossed the thoughts out, know all too well that if the Deputy Raikage was asking for someone to take on the Bijuu, then Kumogakure no Sato was obviously in grave danger. The idea of a Bijuu rampaging in the village was incredibly horrible, taking into account the damage that Kumogakure had already sustained so far, if a Bijuu went on a rampage the entire village would indeed be completely wiped off the map. Realizing all of that, he knew what he had to do, in order to save his home village from being destroyed he had to take it upon himself to carry the burden and risks of being a Jinchuuriki and provide himself as the vessel for the Bijuu.

Never taking his eyes off the Konohagakure Genin in front of him, still threatening the young man with his lightning based chakra orbs on his index fingers, he acknowledged what the Deputy Raikage had asked, and spoke with full confident and complete clarity “Deputy Raikage, seal the Bijuu in me. Do it quickly!” he never faltered in his words, seeing the path before him and realizing his true purpose in life. He was going to take a heavy burden and save Kumogakure no Sato. He could only hope and pray now that the sealing of the bijuu would succeed, and that it wouldn’t be given a chance to rampage. He was saving more than just Kumogakure though, he was also saving many ninja from Konohagakure, including the genin in front of him. If released, everyone here would be dead from the power of the Bijuu, this was his only choice, this was the only way that the battle could end without more death and bloodshed. He decided to speak to the Konohagakure Genin. “Do not interfere in this, if you do there’s a high chance that you will die along with everyone else here and the beast will not stop, if you’ve read any of the legends and know of their power, then you have to understand that it will not stop and it could very well end up making its way towards other villages, even Konohagakure no Sato, and destroy them all!” he yelled hoping that all the Shinobi would hear him. He hated Konohagakure and really wouldn’t mind seeing them die, but this issue went beyond fighting for one village, he was trying to save countless innocent lives from being taken away, and all the shinobi present needed to understand that fact more than anything else, even in war he planned to try and make temporary peace with one of his mortal enemies, for the sake of a better future for all shinobi. If the bijuu was released and did all that damage, then the war would be between more than just Kumogakure and Konohagakure, and that was something he would not be held responsible for.

Leon stood a fair distance away from the Cloud shinobi. He glanced at Xzelaxer and whispered, "Look he has a point. At our levels we can't hope of containing the Bijuu. We have to let them do the transfer or else we will all die. The most we can get is getting the body the moment after the transfer is done." Leon held a kunai in his hand as he looked the Cloud Genin. From the looks of it, he was prepared to attack. Leon analyzed him and concluded that from the looks of his stance and lightning jutsu, it was a close range attack. If Leon used Chakra Scalpel then they'd be pretty evenly matched. He turned back towards Xzelaxer, "What do you think?"
