Song Starts

Damnit… what could be going wrong?

All of their efforts combined as they held hands and tie to dispel the genjutsu around them

Nothing seemed to happen.

Then again… Nothing.

But they didn’t give up.

No, not these Genin

Not after everything they’ve been 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;">Something had stirred amongst them

<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;">Something ancient

<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;">

<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;">

<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;">.

<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;">New Song Starts

<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;">It finally happened.

<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 leaves of Konoha whom came together from different trees now all aligned in a perfect circle. Eyes closed… hearts opened… they all stood hand in hand while the wind whipped up aroun their clothes.

<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;">Unbeknownst to their young and unexperienced mind, they, in this moment, did what the Sage of Six paths had wished for humanity to do; to use chakra to unify all hearts.

<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;"> They would feel t, the mixed emotions and memories of everyone who stood in that circle. Feelings of joy, sadness, pain,, all streamed around in a torrent of what could only be described as pure bliss. It’d feel so good that some might eve feel the need to cry, as if all of them were momentarily touched by the caressing presence of divination.

<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 then a bright light began to emanate.

<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;">http://orig08.deviantart.net/b6bc/f/2009/282/c/5/darkness_orb_by_lollypopalooza.jpg

<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;">It started out weak… a floating orb-like manifestation of energy in the middle of their circle.

<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;">But then… it grew bigger… a bigger… until the spreading light would envelop them all in an aura of Yin energy that fought against the Yin given life through an ancient Kekkei Genkei of the Kurama clan.

<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;">They’d now see it, around themselves, the effects of their Yang as it drove back the illusion with overwhelming ferocity. Yes, it drained them all of 50% of their chaka, but it was not just the chakra that made their efforts so powerful; it was the unifications of hearts and souls. This was the power of emotion.

<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;">https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uD59n-jbFmM/maxresdefault.jpg

<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;">“KAI!”

<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 then it happened. In a single overwhelming blast of life force, pure light, that completely evaporated and dispelled all of the nightmarish creations around them. It only took that one blinding flash for reality to be restored around them….

<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;">-Song ends.-

<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;">New Song begins

<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 area around them sifted to a dim lit hallway. The space between walls was just wide enough for all present Genin to stand together, shoulder by shoulder. The floor was draped by a red carpet, the walls made of rough brown stone, and the roofing clad in shadows cast by the candle lit chandeliers that hung from the roof at 4 yards off the ground.

<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;">Eerie shadows followed the Genin if they moved ahead to where they would see a single gate at the end of the hallway, an exact replica of the gate they had seen in the nightmarish castle. The gate was large enough to fill up the entire hallway and barred the only way ahead.

<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;">Upon turning around to look bback they’d see a long hallway that, further up ahead, turned more and more into a medieval type setting with many paintings gracing the wall, eventually leading to the sealed, closed, doors of the red route.

<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;">With the Genjutsu now dispelled, the path ahead was clear. They just had to pass or break through this bulky metal black door featuring the engravings of monstrous creatures.

<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 problem was that two of these creatures slowly began to leak out of the painting like a fluid before recollecting themselves in solid shapes of metal that moved fluidly living beings. One was a two headed lion with snakes instead of tongues. The other a humanoid silhouette with a single large horn on its forehead, a single eye, and an extra set of arms on its back that were a ft longer than its normal arms.

<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 animal stood 2 yards high and was 4 yard long. The humanoid was the size of an adult 6ft male in fit state.

<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 then they rushed forth, the lion charging ahead as it barreled straight through whatever formation the Genin had made. The left head aimed to bite Yasu’s arm, and the right head aimed to bite Kaylee’s torso, with such surprising speed and force that reacting in time would be a feat in its own, let alone escaping unscathed, yet, what would be surprising were the snakes that escaped their mouths and extended to whatever lengths required before aiming to wrap around their torsos with brute strength while the large two headed lion continued to ran on and aimed to drag the two girls with it before turning around 20 yards behind the party. If the attacks on the girls were successful they’d be thrown against the wall on either side of the large beast.

<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;">Meanwhile, the four-armed man had charged at Keldran like a Rhinoceros and aimed to slam its horn into the brave boy’s form with enough force to send the Genin flying back off his feet. Whether successful or not, his upper right arm then aimed to grab Keldran before he flew off, or if the strong-hearted youth stood still, while the upper left arm aimed to pummel the boy’s face with four powerful punches, the last of which powerful enough to uppercut Keldran into the roof; at which he’d be let go to fly up. While this happened, the lower left arm aimed to punch Ded Lee square in his drunk face, as the lower right aimed to do the same to Ieyasu. The tall humanoid’s single eye then peeled back to reveal a single red hue that glared around before suddenly glowing up. And then, from its hue, shot down a crimson beam that cut a 360 line through the wall and anything in its way as the head spun on the creatures shoulder as if there were no joints in its body before settling in its original place. The laser-line line of condense charka ripped through the walls at a 1 yard height, and would cut through flesh and bones like water. But after that one spin, the eye would stop glowing and turn back to normal with the lids half closed.
