Konoha - The Next Generation

Tengoku would feel a solid connect. His attack to her ribs was quick. Still his arms were a little numb from blocking those attacks. He was surprised at the jump in power in her strikes. He had thought he could just knock them to the side but it sure was a surprise to feel pressure like that. Still he would blink as she would yield. Had he gone too far? Well he was going all out...he had to in order to fight her. Still he would let his ears lower as it was time to get serious. The fun of fighting fading as the crowd cheered. He would cross his arms and frown as they began to stream out. The crowd satisfied with a potent fight. His gold and black eyes would glance to the two Kiri nin leaving the arena. He hadn't expected them but it was good they had seen all that. Sure they saw some techniques and fighting styles but they had seen something else too. They had seen just what Konoha was capable of. Their fight had sent a message hopefully that Konoha was strong. Strong allies were less likely to turn into enemies over silly impulses like greed.

Still he would let his ears twitch once more as she mentioned preparing for the mindscape. A fight indeed. Still he would listen as she ordered two individuals to the arena. Two rival Uchiha. Though Kimiko was a few steps ahead of Ren in that regard. They both saw themselves as leaders. Both as the rightful heir to the clan head. The Uchiha were potent to be sure but so much energy was directed at themselves. It was a frightening thought to consider just what they were capable of. Including repeatedly taking the hokage hat. He had been an oddity without a clan at the time to take the seat. Removed from clan politics till that point. He had watched over them and attempted to bond them in squads. Hyuga, Senju, Uchiha all in his squad. It hadn't lasted of course but Airi had taken the hat now. The Hyuga were in charge. And Tengoku...well if today went well it meant his retirement could be cushiony. Not only would his sister continue to get the long term care she needed but he could focus on himself again. Step away from silly things like politics and maintain his goal of becoming the perfect fighter.

For now Tengoku would settle his adrenaline from the fight. He could feel Roen within him. The being had surfaced a little but that would be the last time. He was going to conquer it today. Still he would use the toe of his shoe to hook each ring and flick it back up. Perfectly flying up his arm to his upper arms and wrists before he would flick the last two across his ankles. His armor returned to him. His hand reaching out as the sword belt flew to it. His ability to draw his wakizashi to him helping with the other sword strapped to it. He would quietly fit the belt back on before finishing by putting on his armored gloves. He was fully back together again with only a couple of yellow bruises on his forearms. He would roll his shoulders before settling into a sitting position. Settled onto his knees and sitting on the balls of his feet. His palms resting on his lap as he would sit straight backed. A picture of serenity as he calmed his mind. He was allowing his aura to settle as well which lured Roen to a sense of exhaustion.

He could feel the beast gradually going to sleep. Unaware it was to be conquered. Like a wolf stalking its prey and remaining quiet. He didn't intend for this to be much of a fight. He had felt its power and measured it against his own. Roen was strong but he was too. With allies next to him the beast would have little chance. He felt another pulse though. His hand shifted to his wakizashi and rested on it. The weapon...it was as if the beast shirked away from it. Almost as if it flinched. His Wakizashi could cut virtually anything. Did Roen sense danger within it? Still his ears would twitch as two others arrived soon after one another. A slight break in his concentration. But he would let Airi explain since she had the knowledge and ....well Tengoku was along for the ride. Roen would be his to master and utilize to keep Konoha protected. Still he would return to his focus. Allowing his senses to retreat to his chakra...to where Roen seemed to almost latch onto it. Like a green chakra invading his own. Within his mind he would stand at the edge of the forest with the mountainous wolf cave in the center.

"Lets see who wins old chum."

A smile crept across Airi's face as she saw Ren before he formally addressed Tengoku and herself. She nodded her head and hooked a finger towards Tengoku.   Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga Yes, please lay a hand upon Lord Hokage's shoulder. We've got a monster to fight. She said with a bit of a sigh. She was a bit worn out from the last couple days' worth of excitement. Ren had come to see her last night and she had promised to go on a date with him tonight. Though, she would need to go home and go to the bath first before she could even consider doing so. Maybe later tonight, she might get lucky again. It was at this time that she felt the presence of another. A small woman of great renown that she had yet to meet -- Lady Kimiko. The one that he assassinated Ryujin with. She gave her a friendly smile, turning her head towards her. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga Nice to finally meet you, Lady Kimiko. I apologize for calling you out here today, but I heard you were quite the formidable shinobi. I've heard several stories about you. Pardon me taking up your time, but I have called you here to assist with helping Lord Hokage tackle a menacing beast. If you agree to help, please place your hand upon Lord Hokage's shoulder. she said with great caution. She had never met Kimiko, but knew she was terrifying and one of nearly unmatched combat prowess. Not knowing if this woman was volatile or not was the reason she walked on eggshells around her. However, pleasantries were fulfilled and she had only one remaining thing to do in order to combat this monster. She turned to look towards Tengoku, waving her hand over his face. He seemed to have already moved into his mind. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga Lord Tengoku, I need you to focus. And I need you to show me your seal. I need to place my hand on that thing again. she said with complete and utter disgust. The last time she touched that seal, she was filled with pain and hunger -- a feeling she really didn't want to feel again, but alas, this would be the last time she'd have to feel that. Placing the seal upon Tengoku felt like a violation to her self and her psyche. Such a dark and disturbing creature Roen was. She turned to look towards Kimiko and Ren for a moment. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga All you have to do is maintain contact with Lord Tengoku. Once I have access to the seal, I will perform another seal called the Ring of Combat Seal. It'll form a ring around the Hungering Seal and it'll pull all of our consciousness into Tengoku's mind. All three of us need to participate because this creature is not one to trifle with. I implore you, no funny business. And don't get jealous because I'm touching Lord Hokage's body, Ren she said with her eyes darting directly to him.

Not entered yet. Will enter next round.

"Sure thing Boss," Ren replied with a wink to Airi after she explained why she called him and Kimiko here. Though on the outside he manage to maintain his calm composure, on the inside he was freaking out. Not out of fear, though it was there, it was not what got him so worked up about. It was excitement, the thought of a fight against this beast was sure to test his own abilities. After Kimiko arrived and Airi fully explained the situation, Ren would move to Tengoku's side and place a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, Lord Hokage. We got this." Ren said with a smile to Tengoku as he readied himself for what was to come, Ren wasn't sure what to expect so he had to be ready for anything.

When Airi explained how it was that she was taking them to Tengoku's mindscape, ending with remark for Ren not to get Jealous, Ren would let out a small chuckle. "I will do my best to contain my jealousy," he stated sarcastically. There was no reason for Ren to be jealous, not after last night. Besides, it was him that she was going on a date with later not the Lord Hokage.

"Sure, I wasn't doing anything else anyhow. May as well help out. Nice ta meet ya Airi Hyuuuga."

Kimiko extended out her pronunciation of the word Hyuuga, dragging out the u's, giving a bit of an informal salute. She rarely ever wanted to stand on ceremony, even at the best of times.

Picking up her hand, Kimiko dropped it on Tengoku's shoulder, waiting for whatever, chuckling to herself at the wording of Airi's sentence. 'Place her hand on that thing'. She didn't comment on it, but the chuckle was enough of a comment for her to get the joke across without having to say anything.

She noted the conversation with Ren and Airi. Seemed like they were a thing. A Hyuuga and an Uchiha, almost unheard of, they often hated each other. She could see what was likable about Airi though. Short but powerful women. She could relate.

Maintainin Sensory and Sharingan

All the players have assembled. Airi turned to the other two, looking rather haggard from her previous engagement with Tengoku before taking a deep breath, closing her eyes and holding her breath. The last time she touched this seal, she felt a monstrous presence within it as if it was attempting to take her over and taint her. She quickly formed a series of handseals before her left hand began to glow. Using her other arm, she lifted up Tengoku's shirt before placing her hand upon the Hungering Seal. She grit her teeth as she began to inject chakra into the seal, causing a ring to surround it. The ring began to take shape slowly before injecting a bit more chakra into it, causing the entire ring to surround it. Those who maintain contact with Tengoku would fall unconscious as they enter into Tengoku's Mindscape.

Tengoku may begin using the previous Control Fight Rules.

Tengoku would stand in the woods within his mind. He felt it was more livid than before. He could feel the warm breeze on his skin. Hear the rustling of of the leaves. His ears would twitch as he took a deep breath. Even from here he could smell him. Roen was the only dominant creature here. The only scent. Soon enough however he would feel them touching his person. Hands being placed on him as he was still conscious. However as Airi placed her seal that would end. He lost the sensation of the real world. Delving deeply into his mind as the other three would seem to appear in front of him in a blink of an eye. He would nod to each of them before his golden eyes shifted back to the wolf shaped mountain...the cave it lived in. He would take a deep breath before he would speak to them. His hand resting on his wakizashi as he in his mind equipped all his gear. His armor spreading as his typical warm smile would fade. He would nod to the mountain before speaking to them. Sharing his plan for assault. If they followed it Roen could not win.

"Roen is within that mountain. He knows we are here already and likely is waiting there to consume us. However I will not allow this. I will tame this beast. With your help Konoha will remain secure as long as I live. Or I will die protecting it. Once Roen is within sight...I will raise something called the field of defiance. I will also be loaning Ren some of my power. Press the assault until Roen surrenders and is defeated. Once he gives up we should be freed quickly. Ren, come here."

With that Tengoku would make the rooster hand sign before black chakra ink would spread from his golden eyes. If he was allowed to he would reach out as the chakra ink reached his fingertips. Touching Ren where it was allowed and distributing the power to him. Granting him a two tier boost to strength, speed and coordination. With that Tengoku would enter into sage mode as his golden eyes would shift to blue. His hair to black and his appearance younger. He would nod to the three of them and turn to head straight for the mountain at full S rank speed. The forest a blur around him before he stopped in front of the mountain. It would seem to crack and split open as Roen seemed to force his head out of his confines. Snarling at him as it sent tentacles flying out of holes smashed through the mountain. Planning an assault on Tengoku. However Tengoku would form a snake seal. The tattoos emerging once more and spreading across his skin and out from under him in a thin veil of transparent ink three hundred meters wide. Every bit of Roen being caught in it. The opposite of what had happened to Ren containing Roen now. Dropping his strength, coord and speed two tiers.

Now that Roen was virtually a sitting duck Sage Tengoku would begin to contain the tentacles with his wakizashi. Hacking them as quick as they could regenerate and cutting them apart. Allowing openings for his three companions with Roen having no real way to attack with his tentacles all being contained by one opponent. It would be a simple matter for the others to land solid blows and deal some real damage before Roen could take no more Collapsing with heaving breath and glaring but too tired to fight back.

"You win boy....but one day...one day you might not be so prepared...I will still be here waiting....a walking nightmare."

Just as Ren was starting to wonder what Tengoku's mind would be like, Airi would touch the seal and Ren would find himself in surrounded by trees. A Forest, of all things to find within someone's mind, though considering the man whose mind was, it seemed appropriate. The presence of the wolf was unmistakable even before Ren would look towards the mountain, there was a powerful being within that cave. It was a presence that made Ren question if the four of them would be enough, but he would quiet his nerves and turn to Tengoku as he began to explain his plan of attack. Ren would nod as he listened to the man, a simple and straight forward plan, an all-out assault. This was Ren's preferred method of approach to most situations, so there would be no objections from him.

Stepping forward when Tengoku beckoned him, Ren would allow Tengoku to place his hand on his shoulder before feeling a sudden rush of chakra flow through him. He felt strangely stronger as well as lighter, as though he could move faster. With a final nod as Tengoku would go to move towards the cave entrance, Ren would quickly move to follow him. Activating his Sharingan as he moved, Ren would ready a technique forming two strings of hand seals activating Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet and Lightning Soaring Thunder Dragon as he ran. Creating a Dragon of Fire as well as a Dragon of Lightning that he would be able to use to attack Roen. Tengoku was faster than Ren, even with the increased speed he was granted from whatever it was Tengoku had done to him, so the other man would get there first, but Ren would be quickly behind him. Ren had more destructive techniques than what he was using, though they were widespread and uncaring of allies. Considering he didn't want to hurt the others, nor did he want to get in the way he simply did his best to help where he could. He thought about summoning one of the Dragons from the contract but was not sure if it would work considering they were inside Tengoku's mind, so he resolved to striking Roen with the lightning and fire of his two techniques. He wasn't sure what the others were doing other than the fact that Tengoku seemed to have done the opposite to Roen that he had done to him, which made the beast slower. There would be more openings then Ren thought there would be, it was possible that the four of them were overwhelming it or it could of just been from Tengoku's technique, but they were winning. It wasn't long before the beast would surrender to Tengoku, and Ren would let out a sigh of relief as it seemed the four of them was enough after all.

Techs:

Everything changed the moment she opened her eyes. Lush, verdant grounds with a single cave, appearing similar to the Senju Woods, but different at the same time. Her eyes began to focus for a moment before taking in the air, looking around for the others. A wolf-shaped mountain, the maw of the beast. She looked around and nodded her head about the serenity within his mind marred with this twisted prison. Airi cleared her throat as she adjusted her kimono, covering up her cleavage. She looked to Tengoku out of the corner of her eyes as he went over the plan. The dense and gross feeling she had when she sealed Tengoku started to well up within her. Revulsion and darkness was what she felt coming from that cave -- a familiar feeling, one she hoped she wouldn't ever have to revisit. It was at this moment that Ren was given some power by Tengoku. Her eyes turned downwards to notice the chakra ink upon his fingertips. She didn't understand how he was capable of producing chakra ink like this -- questions for later. Something about that ink was... different. She raised a brow as Ren was given an additional boost in strength. Did he just believe in Airi and Kimiko more or something? Interesting. As Ren was given a power-up, she activated her own Sage Mode briefly, her appearance changing to something a bit... different. Still human, but different. She quickly turned her head to Ren and winked at him flirtatiously. Airi Ohara, The Eldritch Sage Hey, pretty boy! she said with a bit of a flirty mannerism. She hadn't shown Ren this form yet -- nor did she show Ren the more vicious and more monstrous form yet. Actually, this would probably be the first time he would have seen her as a Sage to begin with. But that would be something for later. As the mountain shifted, the creature reared it's ugly head out of the mountain with Airi taking a deep breath in and quickly performing an Unrelenting Fury (Sage Enhanced), causing a Vacuum Shell to smack the creature in the face right as it appeared, giving it absolutely no time to react. Using something brand new, two invisible arms -- well, not for present company as their doujutsu would let them see it, would appear from her back. Large hands zoomed in to punch the living daylights out of the creature. Airi Ohara, The Eldritch Sage Raging Crimson! she shouted out -- the name of the technique. The hands started to wail upon the large beast's face as Ren began to assault it with various elemental ninjutsu, surrounded by a dome. These giant hands moved up and over the creature, interlacing their fingers before bringing down a double-hammerfist smash down to it's skull. With the barrage from the group, the creature gave in, allowing Tengoku to now maintain full control. The seal that Airi had placed upon Tengoku -- the Ring of Combat Seal began to erode, disappearing off of Tengoku's body before ejecting all of them out and back into the real world. Groaning and moaning, Airi disengages her Sage Mode before taking a deep breath and looked to Ren. She might be tired, but she was energized enough to go and talk to him. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga So! We got our date tonight right? Yeah? Yeah? Well, I'm going to go home, go to the hotspring and probably meet you at about 7? she asked with a rather giddy attitude. She was bouncing around a bit out of excitement -- as were her breasts. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga I'll seeya tonight, okay? she said as she placed her hands upon Ren's arms and boosted herself up on her tip-toes to kiss him on the cheek. She had to do other things before leaving like wishing Tengoku luck and thanking Kimiko for showing up. She walked up to Tengoku and bowed to him. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga Well, now that you have Control over this monster, I think my job here is done. I'll see you later, Lord Hokage. she said before moving over towards Kimiko and gave her a deep bow. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga Thank you for showing up, Lady Kimiko. I know you're probably super busy and all, but it was nice to meet you. Perhaps we can talk again sometime? she asked, her voice getting more and more sped up as she wanted to get through all of the niceties and get home to get prepared. She turned and waved to Ren before running home. Oh, she would've just Flying Thunder God'd herself home, but she was actually quite tapped in chakra so she had to go the old fashion way. Airi fumbled with her keys upon reaching the front of the house before the door swung open, leading into a darkened house. She slowed down a bit as this was usually quite odd. Her mother would be preparing some tea right now and the one servant the house did have would be preparing dinner. But there was nothing but darkness in the house. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga Ummm.. Mom? Kanzaki? she called for her mother and the single butler of the house. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga What's going on? Why is it so... Airi asked, turning on the lights as her blood ran cold. Her breathe ceased as she witnessed something dreadful before her. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga Oh. The Elder Gods are messing with my mind again, right? Right? she asked with no response. Usually they'd afflict her with hyper-realistic and gruesome scenes. She looked around and waited for a moment before it began to settle in. Her eyes grew large for a brief moment before falling to her knees and vomiting upon the floor. The tatami mats were stained red as she started to scream hysterically, finding her mother having committed sepukku. There was no letter. There was no reason. All she was left with were grief and questions.

Jutsu Used

Sage Enhanced

Unrelenting Fury

Rank: S Power: A (True Damage) Activation Chakra Cost: 30 CP Upkeep Chakra Cost: -- Range: 0-80m Speed: S Element: --   Skill: Taijutsu Classification: Secret Requirement: Byakugan r4 Activated Parent Technique: Vacuum Palm | Mountain Crusher Handseals: --

DESCRIPTION Using the very principles behind Mountain Crusher and Vacuum Palm, the user opens their mouth to expel a large wall of a Vacuum Shell, being 15m wide, 5 meters tall, and 1 meter thick. The speed of execution only requires the user to open up the Tenketsu points from around their mouth and back of their neck to expel an invisible wall, blasting the target, dealing the jutsu's damage as well as launching them backwards 30 meters from when they were hit. Targets hit will also have up to 20 Tenketsu points sealed. WEAKNESS Targets with S+ Rank perception are capable of clearly seeing the invisible wall and would be capable of dodging it. Targets with S+ Rank Strength will be immune to the knockback property of the wall. If the user is incapable of breathing, this technique will not activate.

Sage Enhanced

Raging Crimson

Rank: S Power: S Activation Chakra Cost: 20 CP Upkeep Chakra Cost: 10 CP/Post Range: 0-500m Speed: User's modified Intelligence Element:  Non-Elemental Skill: Ninjutsu Classification: Custom Restricted Technique Requirement: A-Tier Intelligence Parent Technique: -- Handseals: --

DESCRIPTION The user creates up to 4 invisible arms with 4 invisible hands that could easily grab a human (Being roughly 2 meters from pinky knuckle to index finger knuckle and about 4 meters long from palm to tip of middle finger). These arms originate from the user's back and can extend out from 0-500 meters out. These hands are capable of extending out, punching, grabbing, and manipulating an object or person at the speed of -1 of the user's Intelligence -- the user capable of free-form manipulating these hands. These hands are almost completely invisible, making it to where only those with specific traits (such as chakra vision) are even capable of perceiving them. These hands are capable of grasping and manipulating an object or person using the user's Intelligence in place of their Strength. Often seen as Telekinesis, the user is also capable of grabbing hold of a target and holding them in place. This technique may be used with an aura activated. These arms have the same Constitution as the user's Constitution upon casting this technique with ample force (equal to the user's Constitution) capable of damaging these arms and causing that arm to go away. The user is capable of using Taijutsu attacks with these hands. WEAKNESS If being used to grab a target, any target with Strength greater than the user's Intelligence is capable of breaking away. Targets with a Perception greater than the user's Intelligence is capable of seeing this invisible force and will be capable of avoiding anything the invisible force wishes to do. Targets with the ability to see chakra are capable of perceiving these arms and hands. Debuffing the user's intelligence below B will cause the user to not be able to use this technique until their intelligence returns to at least B Tier. These hands cannot perform handseals.

Kimiko was right at home in this style of combat. Ambush and planning were pretty much her usual styles when it came to fighting. Even though she was good on the fly and coming up with whatever she needed to, it was good to analyze the situations as they came at her. Luckily enough, Tengoku, Airi, and Ren seemed more than capable as warriors too, immediately rushing into their own combinations.

Kimiko's sharingan was picking up all the things that she needed to pick up on. She followed what she needed to with her eyes, taking their abilities in quickly. It was always good to know what those around you were capable of.

Simple enough though, it seemed they were just going the brute force method. Kimiko was okay with that. She was fine with them all doing the heavy lifting and mostly just stayed back to offer support where needed. She waited for a tentacle and hit the creature with a Great Heavenly Fire Prison seal, shutting down its ability to utilize jutsu and catching it on fire.

It would take massive damage over time and eventually was forced to give up.

-

As they awoke back up to the real world, Kimiko nodded. Simple enough task for her to assist with, although she seemed wholly unnecessary and a little overkill, but generally speaking, bringing her out for a fight was already a little overkill. Everyone seemed to be pretty tapped though, and eager to go home and rest, so Kimiko wasn't about to stop them from doing so.

Bowing to everyone politely, she turned to address Airi.

"Lovely ta make your acquaintance. Hopefully we meet again soon, and not just when ya need me for something."

She didn't mean it in a snarky way, just a genuine interest in meeting her on non-business related things. She gave a salute to Tengoku and would disappear in a blink as she went back to her home using the seal she kept there. Kimiko was reliable, but she was also pretty flighty in terms of being around situations she didn't really have much interest in sticking around with.

[Exit, shouldn't need to put my jutsu down unless you guys need me to]

Tengoku would sigh at Roens challenge. He had hoped it would subjugate itself once it was beaten. As the wolves he led back at his estate had. However it did not appear to be the case. Instead Tengoku would cross his arms as he contemplated the issue. What animal instinct was it that kept Roen from falling in line? He had established he was the alpha. Yet there was rebellion there. Roen resented him for winning. Which meant his loyalty couldn't be conquered in a fight. But why resist so much? Likely he had never learned he could trust someone since he was labeled a monster from his creation. Tengoku would take a step forward. His hand reaching out to touch Roens neck. Brushing his fur there lightly. He could feel Roen watching him. He could feel the touch pulling his chakra. He resisted it of course to prevent losing too much...but allowed some chakra to be pulled from him. Purposefully allowing Roen to take some chakra but not too much. Blue eyes of his sage mode unblinking as they looked to Roens own. A calm smile on his face as the sky slowly shifted to a star filled sky behind him.

"Rest now....heal up and feel better. I will protect you while you do. We are in this together now."

With that Tengoku had no more reason to stay. He would lower his hand to the side as Roens regeneration was already beginning. Each of them winking out as they left his mind. He was left last. His form would shift back to normal as he dropped sage mode. A smile behind golden eyes was left as Roen watched him fade away too. Unsure of itself or how it felt in that moment...Defeated in so many ways. However Tengoku would open his eyes slowly. Stretching in a slow ache as his bones popped. He felt so heavy now and worn out....A couple of them were looking the same as they took their leave. Kimiko and Airi first. To very different nights. Tengoku would let out a long breath before rising to his feet with a little more spring now. The big stretch doing wonders for him. His eyes falling to Ren as he shifted to the exit a moment. Saying one thing with a smile as his retirement was beginning. Then he would be gone towards home. A meal prepared to celebrate by his staff there.

"Well at least my last day was a productive one."

Returning to the real world from Tengoku's mind, Ren had many questions, mostly about Airi's transformation while they were in there. Though now wouldn't be the time for that, perhaps on their date they could talk about it, chuckling slightly Airi's questioning of the date. "Seven sounds good to me, I'll see you later." He answered with a smile as she leaned up on the tips of her toes to kiss him on the cheek. Not long after Airi took her leave, Kimiko would leave as well, leaving just Ren and Tengoku. Of course Tengoku would be the next to leave, however before he left he said something that Ren found to be rather curious. Something about his last day, Ren wasn't sure what he meant and the man was gone before he could ask what he was talking about. Looking at the time, Ren would take his leave as well, reminding himself that he needed to get ready for his date with Airi.
