As Rain Trickles, So Does Crimson Blood

[Lil'.Ms.Pablo.xX]

As the Dawn of Darkness Rises...
All Hope Falls

The rain danced off of roof tops, with darkness swallowing up the village below. The sun screaming to be let out from behind the dark wall of clouds. Everything became painted in a menacing gray scale, the beautiful green was now gone. The leaves looked sick as they swayed in the whipping wind. While the fallen ones were being carried threw the sky, flying freely over the village. The faces of the past leaders being blacked out apon the rocks, unable to trace the features carved into the mountain face.
To one's thought, it seemed that the past Kages over the land were giving a warning. Scream out to be on the alert. Danger was near, with the return of a few of Orochimaru's newest pets. His students he took under his wing were waiting. Quietly in the shadows of the massive village, just waiting and watching. Hovering over the lands, mapping out the streets and identifing every weakly gaurded spot of the village. Easy entry points, that they could slip in without being spotted. Well, until the the ANBU found the dead, laying in the streets.
A dark figure stood quietly, eyes swipping over the village. The color suited it, the darkness sent shivers down her back. The misarable looking village matched her heart and emotions. She felt at home, starring out over the pittful looking place. The middle sized girl looked up towards the sky, with soaked hair hanging over her shoulders. The liquid bounced off her features, and rolled down her cheeks and neck. No emotion being shown on her features, with the snake bites under her lip unresponsive.
A dark menacing chuckle made her lips crack after awhile. Asako's hand rested apon the handle of her weap. It was dug into the soil, next to her feet with her fingers wounding around the cold metal.
It's funny, I'm suprised I actually laughed. Yet it seems as tho' the darkness is greating us, like it knows we are here.
Her smooth tones broke the silence, her hand resting on her wide hips. Asako's coat huged her back, as water made it's way threw the light fabric. The water rolled down her small stomach as she rested in silence. Asako was used to no one speaking to her, who would want her around anyway. This thoughts made her mood drop dramaticly, her eyes swifting towards the ground. By this point, she would be crying. Yet over the years, it seems that she rain out of tear. Instead of tears, there now comes blood. When finally she couldn't cry any longer, she turned to killing.
Let's just go down there for a few minutes. I don't think anyone would miss the few that are going to die tonight. she said with out making contact to her comrade's face.

[Daisuke Mazaki]

She groaned in disgust at the Leaf Village acting like they are safe from the dangers of the outside world but her and her comrades will soon change that. The rain felt good on her exposed skin which was pretty much everything except for her chest, half of her back, and most of her legs. "The heavens are crying for the Leaf Village because the heavens know what would soon happen to the Leaf Village." Michiko said before an lop-sided grin appeared on her face.

She looked down in the almost completely deserted streets of the village but soon was hungry for some violence and death. They decided to take down some of the young Chunin to separate the weak ones from the strong ones who would have the skill they need for their team. The rain and darkness made it easy for them to remain undetected which was exactly what they needed if their plan was to succeed.

[Lil'.Ms.Pablo.xX]

Asako nodded, going with what Michiko said. Her blood lust rising up her throat, her tongue licking her lips. A habit she picked up from Orochimaru, as the soft pink flesh ran over her sharp pearls. Soft figures went from her hip to her necklace, grasping the Jashin symbol in her palm. Behind long ebony locks, eyes closed as she start to mumble a prayer. Asking her deity for a successful kill on this perfectly gloomy night.
Once more her eyes snapped open, her vision as strong as any ninja behind the thick curtain of hair. Yet slowly she was becoming blind, with the lack of use of her eyes, started to shut off her site. On this night, it wasn't something she was thinking about only what she would accomplish. The gears in her mind started to turn as she suddenly went into action to increase they're chances of success.
An non-emotional smile appeared on her features, it was crooked as she released the "Takeshi Knife". Dark gaze resting on the few houses that dotted the edges of the wall. The teenager from Kirigakure raised her hands up. Locking them together as she went threw a few handsymbols. To fast the trace with out a Sharigan. Quickly, she took out a kunai and slit her soft palm, letting the blood trickle down her wrist. With hand risen, she spoke softly with a low tone.
Takeshi Fog of the Hidden Mist.
Below, her jutsu went to work, as the mist thickened to a fog. Yet it looked natural, and had no signs of being a Ninjutsu. The visabity lowered, and she'd have pay extra attention to her surroundings. Yet with the time her and Michiko spent studying the streets, they should know how to get they're way around. Along with her eyes being covered, her hearing doubled in range. Allowing her to tell if someone was ahead, way before they could make out a dark sillouet in the mysterious fog.
It was perfect, the setting, the rain. Everything was swinging in her direction tonight. Leaving her "Takeshi Knife", she went to unlock her hip pouch. In her hand, she held a small gray scroll. Asako was growing with want, ready to get to work tonight.
I think I'll use my extra large Fuma Shuriken. Silent and quick, then my "Lighting Release Tags" doesn't make all that noise that the Exploding Tags do. I guess I'm going to be a silent assanin tonighht, what about you Moihiko? she asked starting straight on.

[Daisuke Mazaki]

She could feel her lust for blood getting higher and higher until all she wanted to do was kill, kill, and kill again until there would be no-one left. Michiko knew that she couldn't do anything really dramatic until the rest of her team arrived but she didn't know if they were even on their way. She looked down to see Asako's Justus called Takeshi Fog of the Hidden Mist started to develop in every street near them. The whispers of many ninjas and villagers alike were like sweet music to her ears just knowing that they were afraid of what was going to happen next.

"Since your the silent assassin then I'll be the one who gets who hands the dirtiest." she said before pulling out many shrunken from her pack that was connected to her left bare hip. She chuckles slightly before pulling her hand back and pushed it forward releasing the Shrunken with the throw. The taste of blood appeared on her tongue as the many shrunken found their marks, killing about another couple on low-ranked ninja.

Michiko looked down at one of the dead ninjas before doing some hand-signs which then activated her transformation jutsu and turned into one of the dead ninjas. She looked over at her comrade and gave her an ominous smile before jumping right off of the roof and landed on the concrete ground. Thanks to her transformation jutsu, Michiko watched as a group of about three ninjas ran right by her thinking she was one of them.

The group immediately turned their attention on her as soon as they found out that one of the dead ninjas looked exactly liked her. She made the proper hand-signs which then activated her most favorite attack, the Wind Release: Rotating Shrunken. She pulled about five kunei out of her pack and infused them with chakra then threw them at the three ninjas just like shrunken, killing two of them and wounding the last one which refused to run away.

(I'll allow you to finish off the injured ninja in front of me as you see fit, Asako.}

[Lil'.Ms.Pablo.xX]

Asako shrugged at her comment, sighing as she shook her head. Of course her teamate would be the one to say that. With her infamous voice, that annoyed many, she spoke back. She used a tone, making her statement sound like a threat, or an insult. It just depended on your view of the converation. Under her hair, she had an annoyed gaze blastered on her face. Thinking of course Michiko would go all out when they weren't even at full force.
Like I always tell you, if your a** get's caught, don't expect me to help you. I'll disappear into the cover of my fog as I savor the calls of your agony. As I expect you to do the same, it would be my dream to die caring threw my religious dudies. I guess when Hayashi comes, he can just jump in, he better not get in my way.
Asako left her largest weapon in the dirt on the hill above, and lept down on to a roof along with Michiko. She payed no attention to her, as she went to work to bring out her weapon of choice tonighht. Using the pads of her fingers, she collected blood off of her sliced hand. She swipped the crimson paint over the ink writing of the open scroll. Gracefully, she tossed it in the air and let it unwind above her, using a hand sign to release her Shuriken.
The smooth cold metel meet both of her hands, the thin blades made a audible "swish" threw the air. The air glided over the surface as she brought the two large weapons to her side, expanding them. Releasing them to its deadly shape, one of her finest weapons in her eye. With a roll of her ears, she watched Michiko leap off the the roof, yet she stayed still. Her gaze analized her surroundings. With a flick of her wrist, the Fuma in her left hand glided to the ground. Slicing into the dirt where her teamate stood.
Asako turned on a dime, facing away from the other female. Bending her knees she slide down the oppisite side of the roof. Dropping off and swing into a window, letting her Shuriken follow after her. It was quiet until Asako lepted back on the roof, a paralized boy being tugged a long by his hair. The young girl threw the boy off the roof after she reached the top With a thud, the young child feel to the floor with a heartbreaking thud. Pressing her foot on the red roofing, she launched herself up, landing with on foot on his back. The crack of ribs echoing underneath her.
Sure it was barberic, but what did she have to loose. Her god Jashin would want her to end his life. A blank expression stayed on her face, as she stared down at boy moaning in agony. Asako shrugged, wondering if this kid could be of some help to Orochimaru. For now he would be safe. Changing her attention to who ever Michiko was going after. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the three other fallen shinobi. Yet one, was stagger up to their feet. Her swaying hips brought her over to the man.
Ain't it a b****. I've guess your survices here are no longer needed.
Asako raised her arm, swing her Shuriken hard enough to catch him by the neck and to fly into the wall. Going threw his body and into the wall. Next to her was her second Shuriken, and she pulled it out of the ground, her eyes gracing around the corner. The padding of threw sets of feet ran in their direction, hitting the ground hard. The group of a ninja appeared around the corner in the rain, and they had no idea what was coming there way.
Asako dropped her Fuma Shuriken once more, beforing a hand singal. The crackling of electrity bounced off her foot, the only thing they could see was a bright ice blue light shining in the stance. With a kick Mist Shushin, she ended up neck to one of them, kicking them in the eye. A pain of cry rung in her ears, much to her pleasure as he flew into the women next to him. She coiled her leg up again before she could land to kick the one infront of her down like the other three.
I'm sure Jashin, will be proud of me tonight. With burning someone's eye will get me extra points.
Her leg burned, a few scares running over her leg as it started to turn red. Asako could only handle a few everyday, it was her version of a Chidori. Mostly because she liked kicking, since her hands are usually full. Silently she walked back, yanking her Shuriken back out of the wall. Retracing her steps back to the three fallen. It swung by her legs as she stood there, planning what she should do next.
Would you like to take one? It would be only fair you know, keep it even.

[Yumimuru,Kumori]

Ronin looked at them to girls as they started to kill. All he could think about was his clan members they would be the ones to help protect the village he would have to kill his own blood. Ronin looked at the girls, and then he started to walk down the hill to the main gates. It was his job to make sure everyone got home safe and sound. Ronin had been with Orochimaru the longest, and wanted to prove that he could still hold his own with the two new girls.

Ronin put on his leaf head band did a hand sign. Then walked up to the gate screaming. “Please help me there coming “ as the guards ran to help Ronin he pulled out his sword and in a flash he cut their heads off. Ronin watched the heads fall off let out a little laugh and kicked one of the bodies. Ronin ripped of the ninja’s head bands it was something head did to all his killed so he could keep count.

Ronin walked through the gates, as he got into the village he saw ninja running around screaming. Ronin had an advantage in the village he lived here for most of his life, and knew all the paths like the back of his hand. Ronin walked up to a ninja grabbed him by the through, and asked " Do you know what it feels like to bleed?'' then man gasped for breath and tried to breath getting out only a wimper saying " No, " after the man said that Ronin took his sword out and pushed it through the man’s lower body and dropped him.

Ronin walked over to a building, and kicked the door down. This was what Orochimaru wanted this was what he was going to get he closed his eyes letting out a breath, Then he opened them, He pulled booth his swords out, and went to work killing everyone in the house. Ronin walked out of the house looked at the other two members of his team and yelled " I have killed eight yall need to catch up."

[Daisuke Mazaki]

Michiko sighed in relief when she heard Ronin's voice call out to them telling them that he had already killed eight and the both of them had to catch up. She heard another persons running footsteps quickly approaching him so she smiled before just barely moving to avoid the incoming ninjas attack. The ninja landed on the ground just behind Michiko but didn't have time to attack before she threw an kunei, hitting the ninja directly in the forehead.

"That's why you should always wear your ninja headband when you go out to battle." she said and thought back to how many people she killed. When she remembered she turn toward Ronin and said to him "You better pick up the pace. I've just killed my ninth ninja." The rain seemed to stop for a few moments before starting to pour down on the village once again with an thunderstorm now starting also.

She knew that Orochimaru wanted to totally destroy the Leaf Village for him but Michiko had very different plans for this pathetic excuse for an village. She didn't know if her other two comrades would join her in her plan to kill Orochimaru but she really don't need them to pull it off. All she needs is her curse seal of heaven and her instincts and Orochimaru would be the easiest thing that she ever had to kill. She knew that Orochimaru is one of the legendary Sanin but he was way weaker than Jiryia and Tsuande are.

Run. Run while you still can.

Atake bolted upright in bed, adrenaline and blood pulsing in his veins, his hands instinctively going for the knife he kept under his pillow every single night. Instantly alert, his eyes scoured the room for the source of the spectral voice. There was nothing but the bed, the dresser, and the table. The window looking out over Konoha was still closed and latched.

He sighed and sat up. He hadn't slept well, and planned on slipping out before checkout time (he really didn't feel like paying an innkeeper for the night and half the day he'd slept) anyway. This was as good a time as any to leave. He stood and stretched, then reached for his headband on the table. After a moment's reflection, he tied it around his head, careful to leave a few bangs hanging out of the front. Next his hand searched for his blade, a long, black-sheathed katana. He grabbed his wallet (empty, but it was still a habit) and walked to the window. That's when something caught his eye.

There, by the gate... a guard asleep? Unlikely. He blinked, his eyes going a deep shade of gray, the gray of the Tenma Sharingan. A body. Wait, two. Decapitated, by the looks of it.Without a second's thought, he slid open the window and leapt out into the psuedo-night. It was instantly freezing, the rain and the low hanging clouds lending the day a ghastly aura. No, not clouds. Mist. Not natural, either. This fog was made, not formed. But who...? He had heard the whispers. The elders of the village had covered it up, but, from a true master of the craft like Atake Tagura, nothing was secret long. Orochimaru was the name they muttered on the corners, whispered in the ramen-stalls when it was close to dark and the dogs howled down the street. Orochimaru was the name on everyone's lips when a child went missing or someone began acting strangely.

We'll see. Without a sound, he faded into the mists. He would find out who these people were, and if their mission was to harm this rather cozy and innocent village. If it was, well, maybe the Hokage would owe him a favor by nightfall.

Whoever you are, you're not the only one with an andvantage in the mists. It sorta feels like I'm home...

[Lil'.Ms.Pablo.xX]

She rolled her eyes, slicing the necks of the other three fallen shinobi. The two men had their faces badly burned, will the woman just had a concusion. It made her happy, even tho' her leg just stopped steaming. She was down to four, it would have been five if only she would have killed the boy. Asako needed someone to take her message back to Tsunade, yet he just may not make it. Her thoughts going back to when she killed her cousin, the joy she saw after seeing that young face in agony. Oh, how she craved the screams of other's. Her black hair swung as she looked towards the other two.
That boy is mine, you don't touch him till I get back.
Turning back around, she shot down the road, disappearing one foot into the mist. Her jutsu held up nicely, but if she needed it she'd make it thicker. It kept them concleaded, as they stayed in the shadows to attack. Asako slide to a stop as she heard a swarm of kunai racing towards her. Already her Fuma Shuriken deflected them, the small weapons dropped to the ground. The sound of four sets of feet beat towards her, with out performing a hand sign, she swung two large Shuriken.
Whipped Wind Attack. she called out.
They glowed blue in the fog, the air swipt threw the air, carrying the fog with it. A wicked smile cracked over her face, the sound of slicing reached her ears along with a heavy thud. It worked with out fault, and they had no idea it was coming towards them. It was silent like the night, she had finally caught up with the other two. A completed total of nine, yet she lusted after more blood.
Asako slilently walked farther down the street, her hips swing as she skept her Shuriken by her side. The young lady say two more running towards her, with kunai held up. Quickly she did another attack as before, and they too, dropped. Then she raised an eyebrow as aome one else aproached. The sound of his voice made her chuckle and she stopped. So the one challenging her was from the Mist also.
"Well, the Mist is it, this should be intersting. Please don't waste my time if you are weak. You just may as well just drop dead.
Asako dropped her Shuriken, using a few hand symbols. In a blume of mist, appeared her Decapitating Knife right beside her. Using her right hand, she pulled it out of the ground. She lifted it to rest on her shoulder, like it was air. The thing was heavy, and did lower her speed, but it never became a disadvantage. Even when she was going against a fast ninja. Also with using her other hand, she secretly placed a Lighting Tag on to her Fuma. Picking it up she swung it lightly with a blank expression over her face.

Name: Whipped Wind Attack

[mrbatman]

((OOC - Just fyi'ing ya, italicized, non-quotated words are the character's thoughts. I write alot, but Atake doesn't speak much.))

Patience, boy. Use your head. She's strong, fast, and smart, but she's arrogant. You're smarter. Use that.

Atake wasted no breath on a reply to Asako and barely noticed the whispered words in the back of his mind. His thoughts were already elsewhere, on the battle he knew was inevitable. He stepped back into the alley between the inn and another building and drew his knife, a long, curving dagger obviously made with your throat in mind. There's no room here for a fuuma or a blade that size, but I can't stay here. But, if I have to go out there, I might as well give myself an edge... "Hidden Water Art: Sense Extending Chakra Rain!" His hands ran over the well-practiced handsigns, then he felt some of his chakra drain into the air around him. The technique was normally used for rain, but by putting his chakra into the mists, he would feel every single movement within them. As he did this, however, he felt the power of both the shinobi he faced and the power she herself had over the mist. This, he thought with a grim smile, is going to be fun.

With his new senses, Atake could feel that the girl wasn't alone. There was a male and another female, only a little behind. And, far out but homing in quickly, were a group of four... no, five more ninja, moving over the rooftops. He waited for a moment, and they passed over his head and dropped into the misty road where, to their ignorance and soon dismay, lay the busterblade-wielding girl. The sounds of slaughter greeted his ears, then fell silent. Then, right before the fist made contact with his skull, he realized that only four had passed over him.

I give Konoha one thing. They teach their boys a nasty right hook. He rolled with the blow and fluidly danced behind the young man, grabbing his wrist and putting a knee in his back at the same time. The end result was a nasty crunch, which was followed by the sound of a blade ramming home in the ninja's heart.

He let the body drop to the ground, then turned his attention to the girl in the street. Her blade was at rest on her shoulder, but he knew that could change in a heartbeat. He also knew that, no matter how fast she could move, he could still cut her throat, rip out her heart, break her neck, or simply beat her to death faster than she could swing that monster.

You're good, darling, but I'm better.

The will to fight was nearly overpowering his good judgement, but he kept himself under control, knowing that if he simply jumped out and killed the girl, her friends would surely like recompense. He'd have to do this right... and kill them all.


---------------------

Sense Extending Chakra Rain - A/B - If there is a rainstorm, the user can send their chakra into the stormclouds to infuse each individual droplet with a trace of their chakra, so that everywhere the rain touches is translated into the users sense of touch. If there is no rain, a storm can be created but it uses a vast amount of chakra. - 40/10

[Lil'.Ms.Pablo.xX]

Asako let her eyes roam, processing her surroundings. Thinking of ways she could use this place to her advantage. Yet nothing seemed of help. The only thing was, she'd have to lure him out into the opening. A was she could get the advantage, is if she placed a few of her special tags around the place. If the young girl could make a trap, she could have him quivering on his back. Convusling with the violent shock of lighting that shots out from the small peice of paper. Paralizing him as she killed him, he'd just savor in his blood as he layed there helpless. It made her heart warm, even when the cold rain soaked her hair and clothing.
Yet, he'd easly be able to detect her movement with his ears. So she stayed still, her mind thinking about her chakra level. She could fill it restorying itself, but she didn't want to take any risk. For now, she'd leave out her Ninjutsu, unless she actually needed it. Yet, she had enough to do a quick summon to get a quick look at her apponent. Using one of the summons Orochimaru taught her, with learning this, she made up her own jutsus involving snakes.
Before she dropped her Shuriken, she re-sliced her hand. Drawing new blood as she performed a quick one hand sign. The hiss of a snake came from her feet, as it slide out from her cloak. Gliding away from her and into the mist. The creature silently approached the male. Asako peered threw it's eyes, glancing up at the figure. So this is who I shall be facing. At least his not like the other shinobi, I may actually have something to worry about here.
That was when she changed her plans, she'd work him a bit before she went along with heavy powered jutsus. If she needed it, she'd use the Thunder Clap, or Charged Wind. Which were always affective. The one thing she tried to avoid was her Chidori, or her double handed Chidori. A Lighting Release that would burn her hand to a crisp, like it did to her leg.
It's been about a half an hour. Are you going to entertain me or not?
This was one of the times she wanted to have the immortality that came along with praticing Jashin jutsus. It would be very suprising if no matter how many times he aimed for her heart, she just wouldn't drop. Yet, she started to think about using a Storm Release jutsu, to draw him out. Asako would just wait, she still had that little boy she wanted to torter. She planned on drawing a Jashin symbol with his warm blood, to mark up the walls of his home. Leaving his body hanging, a little treat for Lady Tsunade.

[Yumimuru,Kumori]

Ronin let the head in his hand fall. He was shocked it had been a long time since he had felt the chackra force. Ronin started to walk toward where the chakra was coming form. Ronin couldn’t see through the mist this was the only bad part about having the mist as an advantage, but it was way better then letting your opponent see you. Ronin stopped as he saw two older ninja running toward him.

Ronin did three quick hand signs. Then said '' 1,000 Swords of Death. '' Ronin stopped as the bodies fell to the ground behind him. Ronin let out a laugh Ronin walked toward the Chakra force not letting anything stop him. He finally got to the square and stopped as he let his team member take on her challenger. Then as ronin got closer he finally figured put who the chakra is coming from. Ronin let out a smile. Then sat back onto the roof, and let the battle fold out.

Ronin got up on the roof and looked for anymore ninja they would mess up this battle. He walked to the edge of the roof and looked into the ally way, trying to see if it was really the person that he thought it was. Ronin put his sword back into its holder and then sat down waiting to see if he would have to jump into this battle. Although Ronin didn’t really like his team it was his job to look after them. Ronin let out a little smile and said '' Asako do not rush into this battle think it out and let him make the first move, and wait for him to come to you. Also the is a very powerful ninja and he has as strong chakra force.'' Then ronin looked at the ally and asked '' What is your name unknown ninja?''

Ronin looked at the ally he knew who the ninja was already it was Atake Tagura. A very young ninja that he had trained with in the mist village if Asako was going to try to kill him he was going to have to stop it before it went that far.

[mrbatman]

There. By your foot. Kill it.

I know.[/i] With a satisfying crunch, his foot smashed the small snake. It was of no concern. This voice, however, worried him. He'd deal with that later. For now, his concern was this girl, and the surprising entrance of Ronin Hayashi. Why was he here? No matter. He knows better than to lift a finger against me. Ignoring Ronin's question, he turned back to the girl. He felt out with his magnified senses, touching upon the shuriken she held... and the tag on it. He couldn't tell what kind, but any type of tag would be dangerous in an open fight. He let out a breath and sighed. I suppose there's no avoiding this. He slid his knife back into his belt. He closed his eyes, his fingers running along the engravings into the handle of his sword, the engravings only visible by ones gifted with the Tenma, the cursed Sharingan, the "Demon's Eye." He read the words with his fingers, running over the letters, feeling every line. The words "Through Death, You Live."

The blade was out of its sheath in a heartbeat and he erupted out of the alley faster than that, launching himself into the air, feeling the wind whipping his hair as he climbed higher and higher into the sky. Above the fog, the day was much less dreary. The sun shone, for a second, on his face from a space between the clouds. Then, he began to descend.

Atake sliced his hand on the blade of his sword and offered the trickle of blood to the sky, crying "Summoning Jutsu: Guardians of the Night!" With that, he touched down on the street, probably twenty feet from the girl and opposite the building where Ronin lay in wait. For a moment, all was calm. Then, the shrieking began.

Bats, hundreds, no thousands of black bats came into existence at once, swarming through the mists, their cacaphonous cries deafening everyone within a half a mile of the battleground. As one, they flocked to the girl, further blocking her view, tearing at her with claws and teeth.

Atake stepped back from his pets and watched them fly to and fro around her, knowing all the while that she'd eliminate them with ease. That didn't bother him at all. They'd given him the time he needed to do what he really planned. After shoving his katana into the earth beside him, he began to do handsigns, so fast that even Ronin's trained eyes couldn't have followed them. He ran through the jutsu, feeling a large part of his chakra drain away from such sudden use, before he reached the final handsign. Then, his sword beside him began to glow a deep purple. The malevolence of the aura made Atake shudder, but he grabbed the blade anyway. He stepped forward resolutely, a surprise in store should the girl want to have a little blade-to-blade conflict.

Michiko stood on probably the only rooftop that was completely covered in darkness which was the way that she enjoyed very, very much. She looks down at the unknown ninja and Asako but hears Ronin's voice ask the ninja what his name was but still Michiko remained hidden. The unknown ninja used an summoning and just moments later Michiko heard shrieking from the sky which made her turn her attention toward the sky. The sight of the many bats in the sky made her smile but was even more enjoying was when the bats flew down toward Asako.

She actually thought about jumping in but she had more important things to do than to watch her comrades fight ninjas for no good, damn reason. She turned around and instantly disappeared and reappeared just a couple alleys down from where her comrades was fighting. She heard many running footsteps coming towards her which made her turn around to face about ten more ninjas ready to die protecting their village.

She smiled at them before making the following hand-signs, Tiger-Hare-Dragon which would activate her Wind Release: Petal Dust Dance jutsu. The wind shifted toward her as the petals of many flowers started to warp into an cyclone of deadly pedals. When the pedal tornado was fully formed she sent it toward the group of ninjas and watched as they was sent into the air. Again, Michiko smiled up at them in the air before pulling out about twenty shuriken and threw them all into the air before infusing them with chakra by using her Wind Release: Rotating Shuriken. She pointed toward the ten ninjas still in the air and watched as her shuriken flew toward them. Blood rained down on her as all of the shuriken hit their marks. She licked some blood off of her lips before deciding to go back and see how the fight between her comrade and that unknown ninja is going.

Asako lost her extra set of eyes, yet the snake wasn't dead just because it lost it's head. Quickly the long, yet thin snake made it's way back over it it's summoner. It was no more use to her so she let it go on it's way. At this point, she was ready for what came her way. The noise of a katana satisified her, she would use her two katanas.
My Decapiting Knife will leave a big margin' of error, yet my Shuriken should do fine. Still it would be to close if he fights with a katana than so shall I. Then with the seal on both of my weapons, I can easly summon them in a blink of an eye. If he tries anything funny, like to weild one for his own purposes, he'll get a nasty shock.
That's when she heard Ronin, how she disliked him and his take charge attutide. Why couldn't he just f*** off. Asako never did like people telling her what to do. It almost made her turn her attack on him, his comment brought back the times her father thought lowly of her. Yet she got her head back in the game.
With a blast threw the clouds, her oppent lept out landing a good distance away. Lifting her still bleeding hand, which kept the mist in her control, she moved it out of her way. Instead she thicked the permeter of where they were fighting, only the ground was now covered. Asako's hand then rested back down to her side. She was always thinking of what Wind or Storm Release she could use to deflect a summoning.
I'm going to have to use my storm attack. This bats are too small, and they're too many. Yet I could use a snake summoning, just forget it, I'll just go threw with my origanal plan. she thought quickly for a few minutes.
As the bats came up, she swiched hands with her blade. Grapping it with her right hand, will it rested on her left shoulder. Asako placed her left hand on the cold metal. In a flash of an eye, the Carving Blade rested on the ground. A large storm cloud, charged with lighting ingulfed the hord of bats. The weapon, that was taller than it's weilder rested in the enormous grove it made. The young girl moved it to fast for it to weigh that much, but her muscles never get strained. With using it so much, she's able to carry it for miles.
Her eyes rested on the large storm cloud, if Atake wasn't careful, he could be paralized from the shock. That's all that she needed to do to win this battle, get a good lighting attack to hit straight on, and he is down for the count. Still it is much easier than said, and it would take careful planning to carry out her plans. As soon as she sees an opening, she's going to place tags. Making a trap for her oppent. All that was next, was for her to think everything threw.
At that moment, he started to run threw hand signs. Her hand made it's way to her leg strap, to retrieve her katana. She'd do a close range battle, but stopped when she saw the purple float around his katana. Asako was smarter than that, she'd stay away from it until she can find out what it does. Before she ran into a sword to sword combat and payed the price for it. To get herself out of the sutition, he had to use up almost all of chakra to perform her Genkai Kekkei snake demon. So she rather not have the same thing happen here. Asako learned from that, and didn't feel like hearing her comardes talking about how she messed up. She wouldn't hear the end of it.
Asako ripped out her Carving Knife, holding it above the ground. She almost looked like Zabuza, someone she always wanted to meet. Mostly because she wanted to see the orginal sword that her family ripped off from him. Her head stayed down, with her arm tessed up, ready to attack. Yet she kept her Shuriken was kept next to her.
