A sudden collision.

Ded Lee’s darkness-clad fist tore through a rock, crushed to pieces, before attempting to smash the primary villain, yet, before he got within 2 yards the genin got shot back by a thrust of invisible, and highly potent, force that sent the boy flying back off against a wall. In the moment where Ded’s fist had made contact to the bubble, sensors could sense that the invisible shield had weakened down in that instant but regrew its power soon after.

Then sections of rock grew out of the wall, approaching this floating foe who hovered in mid-air. He, in turn, formed a rapid series of handseals before clapping his hands together at which the approaching rock walls dissolved into mud that fell down to the floor and covered the invisible shield around the enemy.

At least it did… until a sudden pulse of force shot the mud off in all directions as the shield dispersed and exploded as a aoe shockwave expanded throughout the room; pushing Ded’s shuriken back at him or in the wall around him, just before nullifying Keldran’s wind slash.

Yet, Ded’s follow up was fast. And he managed to force through the oppressing winds in order to seemingly reach the enemy before the invisible shield had regrown. Or so it seemed….

Ded’s fist inched closer and closer to making contact. And an inch before it looked to smash through the enemy’s beautiful face, the bubble returned.

As if strengthened by elastic properties, the bubble grew out to its regular size and in doing so shot Ded Lee off at high enough speeds to leave the Genin embedded in the wall. It’d also send Keldran flyng back if the ‘Dragonborn’ had continued his approach.

They had almost managed to get the enemy in that short time-frame where the bubble was weakened. But their effort had proven futile. And now danger approached as the final Boss turned his slanted eyes to the mid-air Keldran.

While the tornado took shape, the enemy then flew up higher, to 25 yards altitude, while forming three more handseals and then exhaling a thin beam of focused fire into the center of the tornado. The spinning winds caught onto the fire and aimed to roast Keldran if he was still inside it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">Showing himself to be a true master of ninjutsu, he then displayed mastery over a fourth nature as he only required three handseals to summon a giant dragon of water in the air around him. Ready to rush down at Ded Lee, or whoever else was first to approach him. The Water Dagon carried a great deal of concussive force upon impact.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">Sensors could see that the bubble had weakened each time the Villain just used a Jutsu, as if it lost power which was then quickly regained.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-weight:normal;font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">  <span style="font-weight:normal;line-height:15.75pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;">---

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">Meanwhile, Ieyasu had brought up a spinning defense that warded off a lot of the blade, while some of the blades simply broke off inside the armor, while some others managed to pierce the layer of metal and pierce the boy underneath, who was spinning, and thus upon stopping the human bullet found his skin torn open in more than one location; bleeding heavily. The sheer amount of this wave of blades, and the speed at which they rushed fort, made it evident how much force went behind the technique.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">Yuki found herself cut open in several places as her unprotected form was now crimson tainted.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">Further down the hall all of the blade-like hairs were avoided before said blades returned to their owner and changed back to their normal state of long silver hair. Then the disfigured man transformed, only to find itself charged at by the combined efforts of several Leaf Shinobi.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">The demon-like entity let out a loud screech upon seeing his targets approach and jumped up, revealing to be fast, faster than these genin, as it raised its clawed right leg before stomping it down on the mid-air Ieyasu who passed underneath the clawed foot. If the hit connected, the young Akimichi would find himself planted face-first into the ground with enough force to leave him embedded in the surface as the claw closed around him to aim and prevent movement. Or perhaps something else, as the monster raised its right leg again to stomp it down once more, in turn causing Ieyasu to be smashed into the ground again but…..

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">“ONCE I WAS BEAUTIFUL, ONCE I WAS GLORIOUS!!! DIE DIE “

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">Before Ieyasu could be smashed down again something had happened.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">One might’ve not even noticed until way after it happened.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">Not even the monster noticed as he stood still, frozen in place, with a look of disbelief over tis grotesque face. Most likely because more than half of his face was missing, disintegrated, completely whipped away by the sickening assault of Lil B who stood as a beacon in the night after having saved his partner.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">But even so… some unseen dark energy kept the monster going as its single functioning arm aimed to snatch Lil B out of the air and smash him down into the closest wall with enough force to drive Lil B 1 yard deep into the solid rock.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">What remained of its face contorted in agony and screeched out in pain as black blood began to shoot out everywhere.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">The hand around Lil B, however, continued to clutch and aimed to squash the Genin to a pulp.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">If nothing was done by Lil B, or anyone else, then the Genin would find his death even before the horned monster fell to a knee. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">  <span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:15.75pt;">---

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">Kei’s post.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">The deep crimson of his sharingan pierced the dim lit surroundings as Ieyasu and Lil B rushed into battle with the horned creature. During this time, Kei made use of the distraction they provided and ran up along the side of the wall while drawing his Chokuto in his left hand, in a reverse grip, as he ran past the other and through the opening that led into the high circular room; the floor of which was covered in a high pile of mud and rubble.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;"> “These guys… their speed.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">Even Kei’s Dojutsu had trouble keeping up but he had seen enough to witness Ded Lee’s fist as it was caught in the bubble, just before it seemed like game-over for the final boss, and something unexpected had happened as the, to Kei’s sharingan, visible bubble of chakra shot Ded back and away.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">Then he could see an unusual manifestation of chakra, wind and fire, that made up a tornado; though he couldn’t see if anyone was inside. While fierce winds caused his long lac hair to wildly flick up and down behind him as he saw the trail of motion left behind by Ded Lee.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">Unusual was the fact that the bubble seemed to weaken every time the villain exerted himself or took a powerful blow.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">Kei now came to a grinding halt while running along the wall, a few yards beside where Ded would hit the wall, having calculated the trajectory of the Genin clad in darkness.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">“After each hit there is an opening. Also, whenever he switches to the offensive the bubble weakens enough for an attack to go through.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">The Uchiha then kicked off at such speeds that he flew off like a bullet while his voice called out louder than it ever had before. His feet coated in chakra as he ran over the head and back of the water dragon that sped down through the sky and aimed to chow down on the Uchiha who used its body as a means to get to the enemy while the Dragon's head came on a path down to Ded Lee.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">“I’ll create an opening!”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">And that he did. Kei’s chokuto blade was taken into a regular grip, and coated in wind chakra, before the Uchiha focused all he had left into a single piercing move that held so much piercing capability that the enemy couldn’t do anything but react.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">The bubble was empowered around where Kei had struck its layer. Not giving up, Kei pushed through and for a moment looked to pierce through the protective shield… but he was and then sent flying back down towards the ground with immense speed as he was simply overpowered and shot off like a ragdoll. There had been a small opening for the others to finish this fight but Kei wouldn’t be awake long enough to see the conclusion as he crashed through the debris on the floor, smacked against the floor, and got knocked out cold from the impact.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;border-width:initial;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">“The mission… is all that matters.”
