Rokubi's Plight: Slimy Yet Satisfying [Plot Thread/Open]

[Deleted]

Thick smoke filled the cripst night air, foot steps, armour, clanging weapons it filled the surrounding forest with unremarkable sounds. Sounds that weren't normal of the forest, despite it's nasty reputation. The forest of terror as it was known, held many of different kind of beast that made a all kinds of sounds. However, the only sounds that could be heard tonight was the sound of man. A great blaze had been ignited deep within the forest, in parts that even the strongest shinobi dared not to go. The area was covered in a thick slim, so viscous that it covered the trees and ground below, turning them into monuments of sludge. Since the creation of the forest. There have been numerous accounts of the slime having a corrosive or acidic property. This information had spread through the continent, from Oni no kuni all the way to the Sora no kuni or the Sky country. Just like Oni no kuni, all of the fledgling nations that surrounded the country wanted to capitalize on this seemingly natural occurrence.

The shinobi, who had illegally entered the nations and came from the Marsh Country. They marched on this area to recover the slime for use in om hope to create their own Hidden Village. As they moved through the Forest, they would set it ablaze, while collecting their sample. This was to ensure that no other nation could get their hands on the slime, and once they had gotten to the source they would take it back to their nation and create their own Forest of Slime. The slime was fairly flammable, it didn't take long for the blaze to be uncontrollable, even for the shinobi who started it. It was in the moment that the blaze had reached it climax, did the source of the slime awaken. Small white slugs could be seen the deeper the shinobi went into the forest, at first they were only on the ground, but soon they could be spotted on the slime covered trees, within the slime covered bushes and even in a large lake that was once pristine waters but now made of extra thick and viscous slime. The shinobi had realized these slugs were the cause of the slime and would start to collect them instead of the surrounding slime, as they went deeper into the forest.

They were cold and pragmatic, treating the small animals as nothing more than mindless bugs. Some would even lose their life in the capturing process, either by being accidentally crushed or by the shinobi retaliating from being burned by it's slime. It wouldn't be long before the group of shinobi make their way to a clearing withing the forest, in the middle of a large mound of slime, or so they thought. Walking closer to the mound, the three shinobi would make one of the greatest discoveries and the last of their lifetime. The giant mound moves and twitched, two long antennae like eyes grew from the giant mound, blinking ominously at the intruders. As the large mound of slime begin to take shape it spoke to the shinobi, " Humans? Why are you attacking my forest?" the beast moved and turned, it's body moving in a fluid motion as it stood up from it's resting place. Now fully visible, the invading shinobi all watched in awe.

The great beast in front of them, was one of the tailed beasts the world had been talking about. Since the first sighting of the tailed beast within Hi no kuni, to the recent attack in Kaminari no kuni, talk of these monsters composed entirely of chakra had filled the information highway, even the shinobi underground, albeit a recent underground... wanted to get their hands on such creatures. This particular beast resembled a large white, with a slight light blueish tint, bipedal slug with stubby arms and feet. It is covered in a slime like substance that corrodes the very ground itself and has six mighty tails sprouting from it backside. "It's no use now... I'll have to kill you and rebuild my forest... I shall make it bigger... I will take this land as my own. You humans have showed me that we cannot coexist so allow Ore-sama to remedy the problem" the tailed beast said in a light and high pitched, voice. The shinobi closest to her tried to attack, hover the the Rokubi would open it's hole like mouth and release a pink gas cloud, instantly melting the rather average shinobi who had dared to destroy her home.

Using the slim covered ground as a way to move at high speeds, the Rokubi would move quickly throughout it's forest of slime, using her water release chakra to fill the area with refreshing water, while also putting out the ravaging flames. The water would mix with her slime, making it even harder for the fire to continue to burn. It wouldn't be long before the beast had reached the edge of her slime forest, opening up to the actual forest area, known as the Forest of terror.

Opening it's mouth wide, the Rokubi would focus a large amount of chakra in front of his mouth, mixing a 8:2 ration of negative chakra and positive chakra of the tailed beast, he would use one of the strongest jutsu and the strongest ability of a tailed beast to lay waste to the surrounding forest. The slug fired the small Bijuudama, the ball moved at impressive speeds, taking out a bit of the trees by momentum alone, before exploding in a massive blast of chakra. The beast roared as the dust cleared, trees... animals, rocks, even entire rivers were completely wiped away in the wake of the blast. While the destructive power was unimaginable, the blast radius wasn't large enough to take the entire forest, still clearing out a nice chunck of land however. Once the debris had finally fallen, the Rokubi would layer the area with it's unnaturally thick slime, before moving on to it's next target pushing ever closer to Yamigakure and it's shinobi population.

"...Then this old man showed up and he starts going on about his rightful place in his village and next thing I know he's creating a sandstorm to blind me. Me." Kempachi shook his head as he stirred his bowl of Ramen. "So I introduced him to my fist reminding him that stuff doesn't work on me. That was the stupidest thing someones tried to do to me."

Kempachi spoke to his Genin. Treating them after a training session he introduced his genin to his families ramen shop. Each with their own order Kempachi had the teriyaki beef. The bowl was halfway empty or halfway full it just depended on how you looked at it. Seated at the counter Kempachi went to reach for another slice of beef when he heard a soft 'thum'. Turning his head towards the exit it was a few seconds after the noise all of his mothers kitchen utensils started shaking.

A sense of dread washed over Kempachi as he heard the vibrations from the massive explosion. Dropping his chop sticks Kempachi grabbed his giant sword and quickly moved outside dragging the blade behind him. Standing outside some others had gathered from the surrounding buildings. Kempachi could hear the trees snapping in the forest something bad was coming. "We need to get to a higher point. Somethings moving through the forest. Something bing." Kempachi said as he placed his sword on his back and leap to the nearest rooftop climbing to the highest point he could to see outside the forest. "I need someone to be my eyes to tell me what we are supposed to be afraid of?"

and mould men

Souzen sat crossed legged before the statue of his father. This was the first time he'd gotten to do so all week, having been so busy with his duties as Lord of Yamigakure that he'd neglected the one to one time that he usually tried to spend with the remains of the former Lord of Yamigakure. He sat there with his eyes closed, envisioning a sort of conversation between the two beings that were in the room together. Souzen envisioned his father first reprimanding him for the little sparring match that he had with the Mizukage Sesshoukage Genkaitamesendo. He would tell him how foolish it was of him to even show any bit of his strengths to the Mizukage when he came looking for a fight. His father also reprimanded him for allowing him to get under his skin so easily as well. But his father also congratulated him for standing up for the people of Yamigakure as well as having some integrity for his people. But their conversation was suddenly cut short as Souzen's facial expression changed to that of one showing mild confusion. Something was off, really off. He could feel a massive chakra source to the southwest with a few quickly dissipating smaller signatures around it. Opening his eye, he stood and moved over to the nearest window that gave him a view toward the southwest. As soon as he flung open the window, a hawk landed on the windowsill, it's wings flapping as it steadied itself.

"Souzen!" The bird spoke.

"Is this about the disturbance to the southwest? I felt something just now..." He spoke in a calm voice, he didn't make eye contact with the bird, but did reach out to stroke his hand along the feathers of it's back. In the distance, he could see what looked like smoke coming from the southwest.

"Yes, Souzen! Whatever it was those ninja woke up is infuriated and is heading straight for the village! The attack is dealt to the forest alone was...horrific!" After having said its peace, the brown hawk took off from Souzen's windowsill, flying into the sky sounding is caw.

An urgent pounding sounded from the door to the room he stood in, already aware of the reasoning behind it, Souzen swiftly opened the door to be met by Yojimbo standing there panting from the speed he'd used to run here as fast as he could. Huffing and puffing, his right hand gripped firm to the handle of his sword as he did his best to stand upright and deliver what news he had. He opened his mouth but Souzen abruptly raised his hand to silence him before he could even utter a syllable. "I full well understand the danger headed for us, you needn't worry about my response. Mobilize the clans, have the Onigumo and Kuroda aid in evacuation outside of the village to the North. Have the Kageyoshi and my clan deploy immediately, their forceful abilities should prove useful in holding off this beast for the time being. Have all available Jonin level ninja report for battle as well. That is all." With that, Yojimbo immediately set off to spread the word.

"A bit salty" was Bei's reaction to his bowl of noodles he didn't really like noddles he like to eat meat it helped with his clan abilities especially because he did not have a twin to do half the work for him like almost everyone else in the clan. He continued to eat the noodles because to him saying the noodles were too salty was not an insult just a point of fact and one that would not stop him from enjoying a free meal. However, the fact that things started shaking would, Kanbei reacted almost as fast as his sensei did drawing his tanto and looking toward the noise. The readiness of war never truly leaves no matter how young you were and how little your duties were. He was combat trained for war and when his sensei dashed to the roof Kanbei was right behind him.

He couldn't believe what he say "I think its those chakra beast everyone was talking about its large and looks like a slug maybe we can pour my bowl of ramen on it and it will go away". although he was joking Kanbei never cracked a smile and his voice never differed from his monotone he had a serious deadpan humor that takes some real getting used to to figure out "I am sure Souzen-sama will instruct you to engage with the beast with your abilities you are quite the asset sensei, and I am sure that you being a responsible adult will want to tell us to go somewhere and hide, or tell us to watch over the evacuation but I am sure that Souzen-sama already had people  on that I have fought ten tailed clones before at war we can do this". He did not wait for his sensei's response as he did not wish to be ordered away from battle instead he rushed off simply stating again his his monotone "If you two wish to become stronger this is how all true shinobi become shinobi through battle and not mock battles but life or death battles, stay if you want but I will not run from my duty of protecting this village".

The Rokubi had devastated a large portion of the forest before it had even reached the outskirts of Yamigakure. It’s physical features were obviously child-like, however the raw chakra and the mentality it possessed surpassed that of any human adult let alone a child. The Rokubi like all the tailed beast to form were in actuality, children. However, this did nothing to hinder their destructive capabilities. Soon large lizard like creatures could be seen flying overhead, “so they have attacked? I won’t stop until the debt is repaid” the Rokubi thought to itself. While she held no ill-will towards human’s she would not let their treason go unresolved. The flying reptiles would go on the offensive shooting bolts of lightning from their mouths, some even covered themselves in flames.

Opening her jagged hole like mouth, the rokubi would shoot globs of acidic slime into the air, purposely missing the flying creatures. Thinking the beast was mindless and without good aim the creatures would effortlessly dodge the globs. However, once the globs had lost their momentum, they would rain back down upon the dragons, burning hole into their leather wings, which were thinner then the rest of their scaly skin. This caught the creatures off guard and would cause them to come falling out the sky, slamming into the sticky slime. The slime itself was now 1 foot off the ground, it seemingly pulled the large creatures into its sticky trap. Resuming its forward approach to the hidden village, the rokubi would coat it’s own body in a layer of acidic slime for added defense. It seemed the humans were more resourceful than she thought.

As she moved closer and closer to the village, sliding with great speed on a trail of slime. The Rokubi would take a massive punch to it’s side, the impact was strong enough to send the gigantic beast flying into the nearby debris. The Akuma clan had joined the battle, a deranged looking man with an arm mutated into a piston like chakra cannon by Senjutsu chakra had attacked the Rokubi. Lifting herself from the ground, the beast would smile, if her mouth hole was even able to. Her body had sustained no injury from the man’s attack, being immune to physical damage. However, the chakra the man wielded made her cautious. The Rokubi would split its body into a myriad of smaller slugs. Moving quickly throughout the foliage she had crashed into, all but one of the Rokubi's slugs would disappear into the forest, resuming its forward motion to the village.

The remaining slug would latch itself on to the akuma ninja who had dared to attack the Rokubi. Once attached the slug would explode in a cloud of highly corrosive gas, instantly turning the man into a lump of smoldering flesh. The Rokubi would reform it’s original form once it had reached the wall of the village, its large white body with six tails could be clearly seen. “You human’s… I will have this debt re-paid” the beast said as she shot a massive glob of slime into the giant wall creating an opening. Once the opening was made the Rokubi would shake off massive slugs from its body. The slugs were extensions of the Rokubi's main body and as such held a portion of it’s chakra and could use it’s abilities. These slugs would then make their way into the village using the whole the Rokubi had created, she planned to take their home as they did hers.

AND OUT OF DARKNESS

came the hands

THAT REACH THRO' NATURE

and mould men

On the order of Souzen, as soon as his message was received by the Black Widow of the Onigumo clan, her clan was dispatched throughout the village moving with a hurried pace as an alarm begin to sound from the oceanfront side of the village raising alarm within the citizens of the village as well as to those out at sea preparing to arrive in the villages harbor. With this ringing alarm, citizens began to panic and began to exit their homes hastily, fumbling over each other through the alleyways as they attempted to escape the village. Children screamed and cried in the panic as their parents rushed had awoken them from their slumber to leave home which they had no reason why. Quickly the Onigumo and Kuroda clans met up on the scene and began to coordinate an evacuation effort, funneling the many merchants and families somewhat like sheep herders guiding them through the safe passages throughout the village so as to keep them safe from the large threat that loomed just beyond village borders.

The sound of wings beating heavily across the night sky sounded overhead, 4 large winged beasts had taken flight from the harbor and raced to defend their homelands without second guessing the Lord's wishes. 4 dragons of the Kageyoshi clan answered the call of Souzen carrying on its large back more than a dozen shinobi, members of the Akuma clan who happened to be in the area. As each dragon approached the large wall of the village, they released a battle cry that echoed into the night sky, the shinobi on their back mimicking them and releasing one of their own. The Akuma clan shinobi jumped down from the backs of the dragons and began to line up in a curved line once they all were adequately positioned on the ground. The large slug-like beast made a few of the clansmen screw their faces up with a look of confusion. "Really? This is what's attacking us? What even is this ugly thing?" One particular member of the Akuma clan asked his fellow clansmen all the while not taking his eyes from the monstrosity approaching them with a moderate speed.


(Skipping ahead to after your post)

Yojimbo stood atop the village's wall as the Rokubi approached, having taken out a few of the flying dragons as well as at least one Akuma clan member by his count, his eyes intently watched the Rokubi studying its movements as well as mannerisms and abilities that it chose to display. The large beast obviously possessed some form of intelligence as it spoke in clear human tongue and actively responded to its attackers that seemed more than instinct of an animal. As it progressed to the villages gate, he gripped his sword's hilt tightly in his right fist, growing incredibly nervous as the beast approached quicker than before now that it had been attacked. What did it mean by debt repaid? Had this attack not been entirely random on the beasts part? Had it been provoked? No matter the true cause of this attack, now that the beast was in the boundaries of the Demon Lord Souzen Akuma, it would have to deal with the Oni sennin and his fellow village members who were more than prepared to lay their lives on the line to defend their lands. He watched as the beast opened its mouth and spewed an acidic slime from its mouth against the impressively built wall designed to protect the boundaries of the village. It didn't take long at all for the wall to corrode away to the acid, and the beast penetrated the last line of defense the village had. "My Lord, the beast has entered the village and has... split into many. The beast itself seems to be largely impervious to physical damage due to its... odd jelly-like structure, and is able to produce some sort of acidic slime from its mouth." Turning to watch as the beast further protruded into the village, he unsheathed his sword and disappeared in a blur as he moved to protect his home.

Souzen exited his home, rushing down the steps as he received word from Yojimbo on the situation at hand as the beast had entered the walls of his village. He could see the smoke arise from the south-western sector of the village wall that had been melted under the beasts power. In order to contain this beast, Souzen would have to act fast and keep it from ever having the opportunity to reach the other sectors of the village. He performed a single handseal and disappeared in a puff of smoke, appearing all the way on top of the wall that had just been breached by the beast. The toll it would take on his chakra to move all the way across the village in a few seconds time was minuscule at best, and only moments after his arrival the remaining Akuma clan members who were on the opposite side of the wall with the remaining members of the Kageyoshi clan who were still on the backs of their dragon companions.

"Close off the sector that it has breached, we need to contain those smaller slugs as well while our people continue to evacuate, go!" And with Souzen's words, they set off overtop the rooftops, and even through the sky so as to see their Lord's orders out to the tee. Souzen prepared himself to act, while his soldiers would focus on the smaller slugs, he would take notice to the larger slug that had to be the main body of the beast. It didn't take long for large earth walls to begin rising from the earth tall enough to mirror the size of the wall that the tailed beast had broken through just minutes ago. Several stories high and wide enough to block off an entire sector of the village from the beasts access, and cutting off the path of the smaller slug bodies that had separated and scattered in attempts to cause as much destruction as possible. With these new walls created, Souzen began to form a few handseals in a specific sequence, focusing his massive levels of chakra Souzen then hopped from the wall as from the earthen rubble of the wall rose a large earth golem easily equal in size to the tailed beast itself. Crawling from the rubble, as Souzen descended from his fall, his hands quickly formed a few more handseals that blurred together due to his quick hand speed. Inhaling deeply his molded chakra grew super-heated within his system as he prepared a fire release technique. His cheeks grew puffed out before he forcefully exhaled three large fire balls circular in size raining down upon the slug. Once he was close to reaching the ground, his golem had fully formed from the ground and caught its master on his shoulder with ease.

Kempachi smiled as Bei spoke about fighting the tailed beast. His hands shook from excitement at the challenge of fighting a tailed beast. As people rushed through the streets beneath them Kempachi could hear them cry and panic as they rushed away from the beast. "This isn't how you get stronger. This is how you die."

Turning his head towards the creature as it started to melt the wall to the town. "A creature like this isn't just something we can kill in a few slices. A fight like this doesn't come along very often." Uncrossing his arms Kempachi placed a hand on the hilt of his giant sword. A ritual he'd always done to remind himself just who wield that giant sword. "I'm not asking any of you to fight this beast but If you so happen to follow me I can't control that."

Leaping off the roof Kempachi would dart through the crowd heading towards the creature. Kempachi knew this wasn't going to be an easy fight. Pulling off his weights around his arms and legs Kempachi let them fall to the ground. Grabbing the vest around his chest he debated about removing it now or when he needed to unleash his gates. "Hey Beast!" Kempachi called out to the creature.

"Are you gonna go all out at first or are we working our way towards it?" Kempachi didn't want to start all out he wanted to start off small but if his foe would start out that way he'd have no problem going all out. "Sorry but I just needed to know so we could have a fair fight." He smiled as he assumed the Lotus stance. "GATE 3 GATE OF LIFE! RELEASE!"

The explosion of power that flowed through Kempachi made his skin turn red and he was hit with a sudden pain the surged through his muscles and skin. Kempachi let out a sigh as he released the breath he was holding. "I love the rush that comes with this! Alright Bowser! I don't know what reason you had for attacking us but I'm pretty sure we're about to make you regret this decision." Grabbing his sword with one hand he unsheathed the might blade and gave a slash sending a brief and soft wave of air towards the beast. "I'm starting off small." Kempachi bragged well aware of his power in this form.

Out of the broken wall grew a large earthen creature that easily matched the size of the Rokubi. The golem held more physical strength than the slug, however the slug would be able to withstand any blunt damage the golem would dish out. Upon instinct alone the main body would burst into million of smaller slugs at the exact moment the golem would strike. The golem would stumble into the surrounding forest as it’s attack missed. The rokubi was now a large wave of smaller slugs, it would over power any shinobi within the area that wasn’t strong enough to stand their ground. Submerging them in a literal wave of slugs. 

The man who created the golem used a fire jutsu to rain fire down upon the slug. “So you fire wielding humans are so cocky enough to show proof that you burned my forest to the ground” the wave of slugs said in unison. The beast was referring to the fire jutsu used on her by Souzen. Being a newly formed tailed beast, the Rokubi knew next to nothing about humans. She had no clue more then one human within the world could use fire jutsu. That being said she would take Souzen's use of the a Katon jutsu as proof of their betrayal. 

This was happening just as one of the humans would unleash a large amount of chakra, the ability known as the 8 gates. The wave of slugs would instinctively aimbto crush the man under their sheer weight and numbers. The wave rushed over the shinobi aiming straight for the hole it had created just moments ago. Slamming into the opening with great force pouring into the containment zone as if it were water. Almost as instantly as it breached the wall the Rokubi would reform using its mighty chakra to quicken the formation of it’s body. 

While the main body was reforming, the smaller slugs that had latched off a bit earlier would expelled a large volume of thick slime from its mouth into the air. The slime would drench the surrounding land and shinobi should they not find cover. The slime wasn’t truly adhesive, true power of the type of slime the smaller slugs used came from its viscosity, which made it extremely thick and heavy. The smaller slugs would exhaust their limited chakra filling the area with a foot of slime. Their bodies would dry up as they expelled the last bit of slime.

Meanwhile, the main body had used the smaller slugs slime assault as a distraction allowing for it to fully reform. The Rokubi would then hiss as it expelled a purple dust like substance from its mouth. The dust was highly corrosive being able to cause 2nd degree burns on first contact. Because the slugs had just drenched the battle field with slime, the more one moved within cloud of dust the more the substance would latch on to the person’s body. Mixing with the slime it would then accumulate on various parts of the surroundings and shinobi's body as purple globs of burning half dissolved grit. The dust would cover the area the leader had basically quarantined and wouldn’t spread any further. 

“You all shall die a slow death…” the Rokubi hissed…

Bei knew his role to play as it would be the same role that he played during the war with the ten tails. Which is to say that he would find higher ground and use his abilities as a strategist to instruct more skilled shinobi while making use of his unique abilities to catch his opponent off guard and kill them from the inside. The real problem Bei noticed was not that the beast was immune to blunt force attacks that was one of the minor problems the true issue was all the slime that it had coated everywhere. Bei saw how thick it was and did not think that Suiton would be enough to wash it away. However, he did notice that it behaved much like water did which is to say that it moved to take up space which meant that it could be detained. From his high ground he yelled at those fighting the beast who included his sensei and his Lord Souzen. "If you do not get rid of the slime we will have no chance of defending ourselves from this attack, Sensei use your strength to punch several large holes in the ground a good distance away from each other and the slime will move to occupy the space which will fill the holes with the slime and stop it from spreading".

Bei he spoke in a manner that clearly said that he expected his instructions to be heeded but still with no emotion as was his way. "As for the purple dust anyone with a Futon technique use it to force the dust back at the beast not only will it tell us if the beast is immune to its own abilities but it will also remove it from the battlefield making it easier for us to defend our home". He chose his words carefully as he kept saying defend our home and that they were the victims of an attack because from what the Rokubi had said it seemed like the beast thought that it was seeking revenge for something that Yamigakure had not done and it was Kanbei's hope that painting themselves as the victims would somehow appeal to the beast that he began to suspect was not a beast at all. 

"We stand as one against any who come to harm us, we did not start this fight but we will finish it". His words meant to encourage would most likely fall flat due to the monotone used while speaking but he did not mind that was more for the Rokubi than the shinobi of Yamigakure "Doton users when the holes fill up with the slime make sure to use some kind of jutsu to seal the holes up as we do not want the beast to be able to gain access to the slime and if it can somehow control its slime all we did was pool its ammo together which would be bad, and if anyone knows some kind of sealing jutsu that would stop the beast from removing the lid to the holes that would be awesome". Bei was in his element this was the only thing in life that he was good at seeing a battle in its entirety and coming up with a plan to put things in his control. He waved as he noticed that there were several higher level Shinobi looking at him confused "Kanbei Kuroda" which was all they would get as a means of introduction.

The wave of slugs were something Kempachi didn't see coming or even expect. "Oh..." Kempachi let out right before the wall of Slugs reached him. Taking off at an intense speed Kempachi couldn't take in the area around him for a few moments as he ran. It was always the first sensation of running while in the gates. Keeping ahead of the wall of Slugs the blind shinobi started to climb the buildings he stood on top of his moms ramen shop.

Panting slightly as the wave of slugs rushed by Kempachi turned his attention back to the giant slug.  He could feel the power coming from the wave of slugs that came for him.  It excited him to think about punching the creature.  Kempachi couldn't hide his smile as it spread across his face.  "This is the challenge I've wanted.  No this is the challenge I'VE BEEN NEEDING!"  Kempachi couldn't control himself.  His erge to fight was too great.  No it was his Ego.  

Assuming a new stance he readied himself for what something he'd only done a few times before.  Opening the Seventh inner gate.  Taking a couple of deep breaths he knew he wouldn't be able to hold the form long but he knew it was the most he could contribute right now.  Holding in his last breath Kempachis other gates opened.  His skin turned red as he felt an intense pain serge through his body.  The Seventh Gate

Standing straight up he grabbed his sword and threw it towards the beast the blade sinking into the ground in front of the just outside the entrance to the village.  Standing with a Blue Aura Kempachi would draw a lot of attention to himself.  Letting out the breath he held as the pain corsed through his body.  The pain was almost unbearable to him but he would be able to keep the form for awhile.  

Taking off in such incredible speeds his afterimage left a trail to where he stood in front of his sword.  His smile remained as he pulled his hands together to make a Tiger with his hands.  The trapped air pressure could be felt in his hands.  Pointing his glowing eyes at the beast Kempachi knew what would come next.  "You're strong and I'd love to have a fight with you one on one but I've gotta protect my home. I hope you understand. Hirudora![/b]"

Throwing his hands forward Kempachi unleashed all the air pressure between his hands. It created a Tiger out of the air force which barrelled into the beast and would lift it carry it away from the village before slamming it down hard and releasing the pressure in a massive explosion.

Kempachi stood panting before his sword as the blue aura around his faded and his skin returned to it's natural color. He let out a laugh as he fell backwards his back resting against the side of his giant "I bet he never saw that coming." Kempachi started to laugh at his own joke as the pain slowly began to surface. Pulling himself up he forced himself to return to the inside of the village before he was left in intense pain after opeining the Seventh gate.

With his golem fully formed, Souzen landed easily on the high right shoulder of his creation, channeling a thin coat of chakra to the soles of his shoes so as to get a better grip on the large rock creature to aid him from slipping and falling off. The size of the golem easily rivaled that of the massive slug before them and stood ready with its powerful arms to fight, even though it was never truly Souzen's intent on using the golem to brute force beat down the tailed beast. Yojimbo had told him prior to the beast breaching the village's walls that the beast seemed to be largely impervious to blunt attacks which would essentially render the golem useless in the physical regard, but Souzen had other plans for its usage. The giant slug had dodged his consecutive fireballs and progressed further toward the broken wall of the village spouting off about how they burned down it's home which earned a confused look from Souzen briefly before a blur appeared at his side on the left shoulder of the golem, Yojimbo.

"Lord Souzen, what is this beast talking about?" He asked. Momentarily the battle had paused in action which allowed Souzen to divulge the little bit of information he could as to just before the attack how he'd felt foreign chakra signatures within the borders of the land of and they are the one's who'd done whatever it was to the 6 tails' home, but they were entirely too dead to tell any such tale in Yamigakure's defense. Beside's whomever they were and whichever budding ninja village they'd come from didn't have to deal with the aftermath of their stupidity like Souzen had to at this very moment. He'd make a mental note to find out just where those ninja originated from and he'd make a point to pay them a visit once this was all over, but first it had to end. In that brief moment of silence, a young voice sounded pretty loud in the night air. Souzen turned his head towards Yojimbo as he opened his mouth to speak, the confused look on his face growing to one of brief worry and minor disappointment.

"I thought I'd ordered for the civilians to be evacuated already? What is this kid doing shouting orders from the cliffside? Bring him to me.." Souzen ordered, Yojimbo disappeared in a blur at once as soon as Souzen finished his orders as he moved to see them through. But the words the boy was saying were in fact true. While Souzen had accounted to quarantine the area that the slug had attacked, he hadn't accounted for the mass of the slime that was being produced within the quarantined zone. His golem began to move, raising its heavy fists before slamming them down upon the ground so as to make the crater sized holes in the ground that the boy had said they should so as to divert the flow of the slime quickly. The beasts flapping their heavy wings above quickly flew out of the area to just behind the barricades of the quarantine and began to flap their wings to produce air ninjutsu that would blow the powder that the beast began to spew into the air back in the direction of the giant slug itself. Whomever this boy was had solid ideas.

The massive surge of chakra caught Souzen's attention easily, the source of it easily just as recognizable as the either gates user within their village. A powerful ally to have indeed, but Souzen wasn't entirely sure if this much power was smart to be using at this time. Especially with such a significant drawback that the forbidden techniques carried with them. He watched as Kempachi opened up the seventh of the eight gates and moved with an incredible speed that even Souzen had trouble keeping up with with his eyes, though so long as he could sense chakra he would never truly lose sight of him. His right hand rested on the hilt of his sword as he watched him intently, wondering just what was his plan of action that he needed to use such power at this early within the fight. Even though he had not consulted Souzen first before going this far, Souzen figured that he could let it pass as this was a crisis situation so whatever one deemed necessary to be done should be, consequences come later if they survived, sometimes even such quick thinking could be what saved a fight or even lives.

With his attack launched at the beast, the drawbacks that Souzen had mused over seemed to take place, he'd shot his load too quick and seemed to be down for the count despite having stood up a few moments after. Another one who needed saving. A soft sigh escaped him as from the giant golem rose a mass of rock equal in height to Souzen, it began to mold itself into the shape of the man beside it taking on his exact likeness once the transformation process had completed. A rock clone. The clone jumped from the shoulder of the rock golem and quickly rushed to the side of Kempachi for support of the weakened shinobi. "It isn't smart to exhaust yourself so quickly in the fight. Let alone to be causing injury to yourself when we don't even know if such an attack would work. Not to mention this explosion your attack causes could risk more widespread damage, or had you not taken into account the acidity of this beasts slime?" It spoke in a condescending tone just as it's creator would at this very moment. They awaited the aftermath of his technique.

As Saiken layered the battlefield with its corrosive dust,the earthen golem would render its slime useles, if that wasn’t enough the dragons overhead had sent her own dust back to Saikem as if it would harm her. The beast fixed its jagged maw to smile. “my slime and dust isn’t created from chakra. It will not harm me because it is apart of my body”. She spoke in a matter of fact tone, explaining that her abilities were purely biological and wouldn’t harm her like ninjutsu would. Suddenly one of the human’s would unleash a terrible power. The feeling had immediately caught the beasts attention well before the man would launch his attack. He would throw his sword at the entrance of the village before revealing himself, clad in a blue aura of intense chakra.

Before Saiken could react the man would make his move, his speed was exceptional creating an after image were he once stood. Saiken couldn’t keep up. Suddenly a massive force of air pressure in the shape of a tiger slammed into the slug's gelatinous body. It held its ground for a few moments before losing its footing. “Damn you… You are only a hairless monkey!! You goddamn beast” Saiken exclaimed as the blast lifted it into the air.

As a last ditch effort the beast would desperately separate parts of its body as the blast hurtled it up into the air and out of the village. It would then explode in a large dome of air pressure. The pieces of the slug body fell to the ground within the village as white sludge like material. The material would lurch and twist, bubble and pop as Saiken quickly reformed itself. It’s decreased size and fatigue was easily noticeable once it regained its original form. “WHERE IS HE… THAT BLUE BEAST!!! I'LL SHOW HIM A DEVIL” Saiken had completely lost all rationality at this point. That last attack not only weakened her dramatically but could’ve killed her if she hadn’t separated parts of her form before the explosion.

Expelling highly corrosive slime on the ground and buildings around her to keep the humans at bay, Saiken would focus her tailed beast chakra within her mouth and release a ball of highly compressed destructive chakra. The immeasurably destructive tailed beast bomb had been unleashed upon the humans. The ball of chakra dwarfed its usual size due to Saiken's lack of available chakra, which had also stunted its blast radius. However, the impact and resulting explosion would be deadly. The ball soared through the air with no particular target, the slug has descended into rage and let the the ball loose indiscriminately. It soared towards the army of humans with an eerie sound as it cut through the air.

Kempachi was breathing hard when the Kage had come to help him back into the village. Kempachi let himself be carried abit as the Kage lectured him. Kempachi was let down to sit on the roof of a building as his attack connected with the beast sending a gust of air over the village that he could tell was his after effect of the Hirudora.

Kempachi used his sword as a brace to keep himself upright as he panted. His muscles twitched and he let out a grunt every time they did as he came down from his massive adrenaline high. "Well you seemed pretty fond of standing around and watching." Kempachi teased and let out a chuckle. "It was the challenge I needed. It's skin would have melted my hands away within a few punches."

Kempachi let out a gasp as a sudden surge of pain washed over him and he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly trying to stay standing. "Lord Kage I'm sorry I went all out but I needed to prove myself here. That there is nothing I can't ever land a hit on." Kempachi smiled widely as his Ego showed. Suddenly his giant sword would fall over and hit the ground with a thud followed shortly by it's wielder left motionless as his skin felt like it was on fire and any touch would bring him intense pain.

Kempachi still smiled though. Despite the pain he was satisfied with himself. He'd knocked a tailed beast out of the village and best of all. He did it with his own strength. He'd succeeded where his father had failed.

Do Not Be

Seen Nor Heard

"Be that as it may sesnei the battle would have been much easier won had you not taken yourself out of commission I could think of about 12 plans where we could have taken the beast out with your abilities without you I can only think of 2, your need for ego swelling was childish and would get you killed if our lord was not here" Bei spoke in a monotone that betrayed no emotion. Although most would consider his statement rude or disrespectful he did not intend it as such and was merely stating a fact how he framed it in his mind. His sensei had done something rash and now was out of the fight when they needed him most Kanbei wouldn't have sugar coated that if he knew how (which he did not). He had just shown up beside the true Lord Souzen on the rock golem with Yojimbo as he knew better than to try and avoid a direct summons from his lord. He had shown up in time to hear his sensei's lackluster explanation to why he did what he did.

Bei titled his head a bit in a bow to his lord the entire time he was looking at the beast charging something that did not look good for the village. "I assume you know what that is as even from my brief fights in the war with the ten tails and his clones I have come across a tailed beast bomb, the only ways I know of to deflect them are strong barriers or even stronger attacks to cancel them out. I have always thought personally that an attack that absorbs chakra would work as the mass is mainly chakra but as I am a child no one has ever listened to that particular plan". He spoke fast as they did not have much time "The issue with meeting it with a strong offensive is that the canceling out is done with an explosion that could cause quite a bit of collateral damage, however, a strong barrier is not without its drawbacks either as if it is not strong enough than the bomb will shatter it and we will all die as it crashes into us as it intends to". Kanbei's voice was as monotonous as ever and even sounded almost bored while he was speaking his calm giving his words credit as he sounded confident to the point of calmness "before we can hope to do anything against the beast we have to first deal with the bomb also if you can get me close enough as a Kuroda I may be able to infect it and control it with my body, although I have never been able to do more than slow down the ten tails clones which made them easier to kill I believe we should avoid killing the beast as it could come in handy as a weapon to use and maybe even have people stop referring to us as a minor nation". At this point Bei realized that he has yet to introduce himself to his lord "Kanbei Kuroda" He spoke never taking his lazy eyes off the tailed beast bomb.

AND OUT OF DARKNESS

came the hands

THAT REACH THRO' NATURE

and mould men

Yojimbo had delivered Kanbei to Souzen's location just as he'd asked of him. Just as soon as he touched down, even Kanbei began to lecture his jonin sensei on the recklessness of his actions. It almost sounded like when some parent's child scolded their parent's mistakes, as oddly as that sounded it wasn't a far-fetched idea. Souzen did his best to hide a grin as he turned his eyes back toward the gigantic mess of a monster slug being lifted up into the sky and outside of the village. Once the explosion set off, Souzen's earthen golem raised its hands to formulate a makeshift shield from its large hands that would shield those beneath it (currently being Yojimbo, Kanbei and Souzen himself) from the potential fallout of the remaining bits of the slugs slimy body, that upon contact with the golem's hands began to sizzle and melt partially through them, but not enough to where those beneath the hands were in danger. And in any case once the threat of falling acidic slime was over, the golem moved its sizzling hands and flung the remaining slime it hand on it's hands down on upon the floor. The threat of the giant six tailed slug was finally over.

And of course Souzen had spoken too soon, because just as his golem removed its hands from overtop his creator and company, Souzen's eyes immediately turned toward the beast as it's body quickly reformed on the ground a short distance before them. This beast was proving to be quite, resourceful and resistant to just dying. It began to scream and shout at the top of its lungs asking where Kempachi was assuming that it needed to redeem itself by killing the ninja whom had nearly killed it. This was becoming troublesome to say the least in Souzen's head, and this entire encounter needed to be over and fast. Releasing a heavy sigh, Souzen rolled his shoulders so as to release the tension in his shoulders that had been building up the duration of this scuffle. He could feel a massive chakra building up around and within the beast as it opened its mouth incredibly wide and before its maw appeared a dark ball that grew in size quite quickly. He'd seen this sort of attack before some years ago during the 10 tail clone attacks, and just as soon as the memory of the devastation this sort of attack could cause, Souzen could hear Kanbei's voice at his rear. While he appreciated the pointers that the boy's clearly brilliant mind were giving him, Souzen knew exactly what he needed to do to deal with this attack, and instead of truly listening to the boy, his mind raced into putting a plan into motion. Within his arsenal, Souzen had no jutsu that held the properties of being able to absorb chakra, so that option was essentially out of the question. He did hear the boy mention something about possibly being able to slow the slug down by using his clan's ability to mold their bodies with others, but that wasn't a risk Souzen was willing to take. No matter his battle experience, he wouldnt put such a task on a boy's shoulders.

"No, you stay here. I'll handle this, it's time to end this." He simply said and nodded toward Yojimbo. He nodded in return and took Kanbei by the hand and jumped from the giant golem to the nearest rooftop. Souzen closed his eyes briefly, standing completely still without so much as a twitch of his muscles. Yet another heavy sigh escaped him, and his skin began to darken to almost a deadish grey color though it largely went unseen due to his unscathed clothing remaining intact. His right hand moved down to untie the sheathe of his sword from his waist, tossing it behind him to Yojimbo who caught it without missing a beat, Yojimbo then turned his head toward Kanbei and then began to speak.

"You see this? Lord Souzen's clan is known for wielding a terrible power, as I'm sure you've heard of the Akuma clan's violent outbursts throughout the village from time to time. Normally, it's unheard of for any of them to have ever fully gained control over this power, as it drives them mad, but Souzen's father was the first to show a resistance to the madness... and with this power they gain untold strength which allowed for him to easily become the Shodai Demon Lord." He began. He continued on to explain exactly what Souzen was doing to Kanbei, telling him how Souzen's father attempted to wield the power but something went wrong and he perished, whilst Souzen did not and went on to become the first to appropriately wield this new power of his.

This was the first time Souzen had needed to use this power, and even so wasn't entirely certain that he needed to, but had done so anyway. Opening his now darkened eyes, he focused intently on the beast before him. The golem began to race forward toward the 6 tails, running as if it were a gorilla using its hands to aid in propelling itself forward toward the beast where its legs were a bit too short to run upright. Souzen's hands moved with a swift speed formulating a single hand sign: Ram. "Senpō: Myōjinmon!" He called. A single large torii appeared in the sky above the 6 tails that fell to the effects of gravity and fell to the earth below aimed at the neck of the preoccupied tailed beast. Another six formulated immediately after the first gate fell, each falling to the earth aimed to pin each of the six tails of the slug's beneath them in turn. If properly placed, these gates would seal both the beasts available room to move as well as its access to its chakra.
