[War Event] Outer Village

Mari is a new Kusa Chuunin. Her and three Genin have just begun to attack a small outer village. The village has very little defenses, and are unable to cope with the overwhelming force of shinobi. Houses have begun to catch fire, and others have been decimated by the attacks.

Shiko stands in horror as he see what has come to the village, he know he can not handle the enemy alone, and stays concealed waiting for his reinforcements. He can already tell with the fires there are more shadows which may hive him the upper hand. "If help doesn't arrive soon I will have to engage alone" he thinks to himself worried that more will get injured or killed if he does not act.

Daisuke is sprinting through the land of fire. 'Gotta hurry, gotta hurry, gotta hurry!' Up ahead he can see the flames from the town. He feel the anger rise inside of him. As he arrives he noticed Shiko up ahead. He stands alongside Shiko, simply nodding at him. It fits that a Nara and a Yamanaka stand alongside each other in war. Once the third member arrives, they will engage.

Hailing from the Land of Lightning, Kauzu had just broken through the forest of the Land of Fire having seen smoke trails pluming up into the sky. He paused on the outer ring of the forest and stared at the burning small village in anger and despair. His village headband engraved with the Cloud Ninja Insignia flickering in the light of the flames as he ran closer, he soon came near two other shinobi, one whom notably wore a Konoha headband. His unkempt bowl-cut coming to a fluttering stop as he did beside the two, he spoke slightly out of breath from the journey. "With three we should be safe to engage the enemy, but we should be safe to watch each others back. These guys are strong." Kauzu didn't voice it, but he would start off playing a more supportive role due to him not knowing his allies fighting styles or capabilities. Pulling out a single kunai into his right hand, he held it in a backwards grip and combat ready stance. His almond shaded eyes forward towards the foes, sharp as the blade within his grip.

Mari
Mari recognizes the threat immediately and sends forward her three Genin to attack and combat the three enemy Genin. Two Konoha, One Kumo. Her Genin immediately focus their attention towards Daisuke, Kauzu, and Shiko.

Genin One
The first to charge at the three is thick. He has to be the heaviest Genin anyone has ever seen, even bigger than an Akamichi. He starts by throwing a large fireball at the three Genin.

Genin Two
Right behind him is a slender girl who launches forward onto the first Genin. She then bounces off of his back higher into the air and unleashes a gust of wind that swell and enlarge the fireball at the trio.

Genin Three
The third Genin is short and scrawny, but he pulls out a bow and lets loose an arrow that glows at the fireball. When it hits the fireball increases in speed.

Shiko extends his shadow and puts up a shadow curtain to cover their movements. Shiko jumps behind a building after throwing a kunai at the genin that is in the air. He hopes this will buy them a second to figure out plans.
"we are dealing with a a fire affinity and wind affinity but im unsure about the other two. Kumo ninja, what are you good at?"

He already knows of daisukes abilities. Shiko feels the pressure  to come up with a plan like all the Naras are know for.

The fireball explosion sends Daisuke tumbling backwards and into a pile of debris. He quickly jumps up and locks a Mind Connection with Kauzu and Shiko, allowing him to talk to them telepathically. 'They use one another to speed up their attacks, let's divide them so they can't work in tandem.'

The ebony screen being erected, alerted Kauzu he was in the presence of a Nara Clan member, but he didn't have time to dwell on such things. The ball of inferno hurdling towards him and Daisuke since the Nara had already evaded, the Sarutobi utilized his Ignition jutsu to propel him 7m to the right out of harms way. Normally he'd jump out of the way or something similar, but with his Weighted Clothing on, jumping out of the way of an attack with such mass was out of the question. The blazing jet streams dying down off his feet, one would find during his travel Kauzu had tossed his single kunai at the large bellied foe. Trying to make use of the Shadow Curtain to hopefully majorly wound one of his foes early on or at least assess their capabilities.

The boom from the fireball landing shook the area and blew bits of harmless debris into the air. Words in a voice other than his own tracing through his mind, the Sarutobi nodded to the strategy and spoke up. "I'll take on the fat one!" Kauzu called out. Fighting the wind element user would be a bad choice on his behalf given she would have the elemental advantage over him.

Genin One
Genin One watches as his fireball misses. Angered, he begins to draw two small maces. Each mace simultaneously catch fire. He then rushes towards Kauzu, annoyed by the fat remark. To the dismay of his teammates he leaves them to swing two flaming maces at Kauzu.

Genin Two
The girl waves her hand and a gust of wind blows away the incoming projectiles. She lands on her feet perfectly fine. Seeing her team mate charge towards Kauze, she quickly completes a few hand seals. Afterwords both of her arms are coated by Fuuton Chakra. The wind is rippling so quickly that it is as if she had two swords for arms. She locates Hiroshi and charges forward.

Genin Three
The archer has taken note of Daisuke, seeing as his team mates have attacked the others. Drawing back his bow he fires a shot at Daisuke. The arrow is tearing up the ground beneath it as it travels, it is wrapped in exploding tags.

ooc- I think you meant Shiko and not Hiroshi? I will play like you said shiko.

IC- Shiko sees that he has been spotted and throws 2 shuriken at the girl and summons two shadow blades a little bit bigger then kunai. He gets in a defensive stance and awaits her to make the first move. While watching for any surprise attacks.

"Alright, one on one it is."

OOC: yeah sorry man.

Daisuke recognizes the arrow attack and immediately springs to his right. As he does a blast is heard behind him as debris flies everywhere. Quickly gaining his footing he realizes the best thing he can for his comrades is to stop the shooter. "Mind Control Jutsu!"

Kauzu confidently smirked as his foe came rushing at him, obviously having had a nerve struck by the fat comment. That's right fatty come a bit closer. These were Kauzu's thoughts as he fell into a well grounded stance, slight bend int he knees, palms open facing his foe while his body was slightly angled away. His eyes tracing the pathways of the maces, soon flames began trailing off his own body. As soon as his target entered combat range, they then engaged in close combat. Kauzu weaving back in forth at enhanced speeds due to his Devil's Dance technique, he avoided the attacks of his foe and parried them with little to no issues. For now he was just feeling out his target's capabilities before attempting to strike back. "You're going to have to try harder than that if you wanna hit me haha." Quite cocky of him, not only was Kauzu trying to get in his opponents head, but he felt he could easily take out his foe if this was all he had to offer.

Genin One
Genin one angrily swings and misses until Kauzu attempts to provoke him once more. That is when he starts to laugh. He sets down the flaming maces and makes a few quick handseals. Suddenly a Flaming Samurai is standing above Genin one. He is made purely from flames and stands to be ten feet tall, with a six foot sword. He leaps forward and swings his flame sword down at Kauzu. When the sword makes impact it will surely destroy the ground beneath it.

Genin Two
The girl swings both of her Wind Blades which her really her arms at Shiko, parrying with him until she flips backward and sends a small whirlwind towards him.

Genin Three
Genin three is caught off guard by the Mind Control Jutsu and has suddenly stopped, trapped within Daisuke's grasp.

Shiko caught off guard at such a jutsu is just barely able to leap out of the way onto a nearby roof. Shiko proceeds to weave hand seals "Shadow imitation". Extending his shadow he hopes to take control of the girl.

Daisuke uses the opportunity to end things with the archer. He has bigger plans first. Controlling the archer, he attempts to turn the archer towards the girl. If Shiko's shadow lands, then it will be an easy shot to hit. Two birds with one stone.

Feeling a bit cocky with his elegant display of dodging his opponents attacks, Kauzu confidently watched as his foe prepared his jutsu and even set down his maces. He could have easily tried to take advantage of such a time lapse, but he felt his foe couldn't be too much of a hassle. He was proven wrong however. A flaming swordsmen much taller than him composed entirely of flames was spawned and leapt straight towards him, blade ready to cleave him in half and scorch him to the bones. "Shit!" He had to think fast and thinking fast lead to decisions that weren't completely safe, but still would get him out of immediate harms way.

With conserving his chakra in mind, though his Devil's Dance technique persisted, both his arms moved behind his back as the flaming swordsmen drew near mid leap. Into his tool pouch they went, one drew an explosive tag and one drew out a kunai. Swinging both appendages out in front of him, before his hands opened completely to relinquish the kunai, the explosive tag was attached to the handle. The target wasn't the swordsmen, but the ground in front of it. As this toss of the tagged kunai was executed Kauzu would leap to his left, then once sat a fairly safe distance before the samurai could fully swing his blade, the Genin would detonate the tag. The explosion would hopefully be enough to destroy the samurai, but if not, the force format he explosion would propel Kauzu a total of 8m away to his own left.

Burned slightly on his arms which were brought up to shield himself from the debris and heat o the explosion, Kauzu would find some 1st some 2nd degree burns only on the limbs. His clothing also slightly scorched, the Genin rolled safely to buffer the force of hitting the earth, before smoothly transitioning to a standing position out of the roll. Winded from such a daring tactic, Kauzu's breaths were heavy and well paced as he waited for the smoke to settle to see if the samurai was destroyed or his main target suffered any collateral damage as well.

Genin One
Genin One watched as his samurai stumbled backwards in pain, but regained his flame stature and through a large fireball towards Kauzu. The fireball was the size of a small building. It turns out that this so called Genin was really one of Kusa's prodigy. He remained unscathed as his fire samurai takes up the damage.

Genin Two/Genin Three
Genin in two is trapped by Shiko's Nara technique. This allows Daisuke's control over Genin Three to release an arrow through the heart of the Genin Two. She falls to the ground lifeless.

Shiko recalls his shadow and pulls out a Kunai. He then lunges at the genin that killed the other one and tries to deal a fatal stab. Thinking that one on three will be easier to handle.

Daisuke is doing everything in his power to hold the third Genin long enough for Shiko to make a fatal blow. His hold is beginning to loosen however, and his mind is beginning to break. Kauzu needed their help, and they would do whatever they had to in order to do so. "Finish it Shiko!" Daisuke held it for a split second longer, hoping that would be enough.

This Genin was stronger than most and not your typical everyday starter shinobi. His jutsu were well developed and immensely powerful, then he also had decent weaponry skills as well, Kauzu was in over his head. The Sarutobi wouldn't admit sic things however. Maybe it was confidence in his own abilities or foolishness, but the Cloud Ninja could still see rays of light that upon grasping could man victory. His biggest hope was teaming up with his allies, but at the moment such a thing couldn't be done.

Smoke cleared and the samurai's devilish appearance still gleaming through the thin screen of molecular debris, Kauzu also noted that the one behind the jutsu was unharmed as well. Next from it's own fiery body an enormous flaming sphere of building proportions was heaved at Kauzu. At first he felt frozen like a deer in headlights, but the roaring flames and heat signature drawing closer brought him back to the situation. He remembered when he was rolling there was a building that should now be placed a few meters behind him, but he knew he wouldn't be able for each it in time naturally, so he settled with use of a jutsu. Again flames sprouting from under his feet as he jumped to his right, the crimson streams pushed him 10m away out of harms way, but barely. Landing messily he did a single roll to find himself back on his feet, as he then shielded himself from the sudden emission of heat. This heat coming front he fireball engulfing the building that was behind him, in mere seconds the structure naturally collapsed from the fire's potency. "I'm really gonna enjoy kicking your ass." Kauzu was getting enraged with being on the defensive for so long and he didn't plan on letting it persist.

Genin One
Genin One yelled in rage as his flaming samurai's attack missed. The flaming samurai lunged forward towards Kauzu again, swinging his flaming sword horizontally, sweeping through a few small villages as he did. The Genin behind him was obviously focused on controlling the samurai. He stood focused and alert.

Genin Three
Shiko's slash was successful. Daisuke's binding had hung on just long enough for Shiko to cover the ground needed to deliver such a deadly attack. The boy dropped his bow and his lifeless body fell on top of it. His eyes were still open, and his mind had screamed at the sight of Shiko. His screams no doubt echoed in Daisuke's mind as he held the boy in place.

Shiko has blood spew on him. He has no time to worry about it, he leaves it on him. He feels different, he would worry about it later he had to protect everyone. He felt the burden to preform well. Shiko drops his Kunai to preform hand seal

"Shadow Imitation"

His shadow extends going to the last genin. If it reaches in time he can stop the jutsu and possibly gain intel on the other ninja.
"Reach, cmon reach"

Daisuke is exhausted from his control over the third Genin but he manages to charge towards teh third Genin that Shiko is trying to bind. If the bind is successful, Daisuke will try to lay as much carnage as possible upon the genin.

Both Katon users on the battlefield enraged for different reasons, Kauzu knew he would need to cool his nerves to perform adequately. Taking in a breath, he began to devise a plan as the enemy Genin blew his fuse and the other was slaughtered. Noting the enemy Genin had been stationary for so long, Kauzu figured the samurai didn't have a conscience of it's own and was in fact being controlled by the Genin. What Kauzu took from this was that there was only one set of eyes at work here, so Kauzu positioned himself in such a way that the samurai was stopping the fat Genin from seeing him.

A smirk on his face as the flaming hulking beast began his charge, he prepared the Substitution Jutsu the replacement for this technique would be his Weighted Clothing. Acting startled as the samurai swung his sword and "cleaved him in half", his severed body would be ablaze and sent a small distance out ingot he enemy Genin's line of sight. A moment passing, the flaming "corpse" would poof into a se of upper body clothing that quickly was reduced to ashes. As the illusion was revealed, Kauzu would appear 2m behind the 10 foot samurai off it's shoulder. Positioned now between the Genin and his conjuration, with his allies en-route to also take down the foe, Kauzu would shout as he began his full speed approach forward. "Leave this one to me!" He had something to prove and some payback to earn. With his weighted clothing off, his speed was increased as was his strength, then to add to this he reactivated his Devil's Dance jutsu further increasing his speed. Kauzu felt there was no way the samurai could catch up with him now given he would be moving much faster than basically any Genin could hope to.

The Genin was surprised to see that Kauze had indeed survived such a lethal attack. So much that he couldn't position himself or move out of the incoming Kauzu's way. He was a sitting duck, and to make matters worse, he had two Genin closing in on him from the other side. For the first time he was susceptible to an open attack.
