So, I cant write because I have to finish a story by next wednesday for a very big project grade. I may be able to wright tonight but it is a small chance. So the next challenge is scheduled to be a two vs two tournament where the teams are randomly generated out of all of the ninja who are in that level. but right before the second round of combat the trials are attacked by five very highly trained ninja. You can all make up a ninja, but make sure they each have a very very strong blood gift.

Awesome, so that means that everyone can team up and fight one of them, but one who would fight alone. Or maybe the last guy is the leader, and everyone has to fight him when the other four are done, cause he is super strong.

So maybe everyone should pair up for battle, with three duos, and a trio.

You know we should make a discussion thread for this whole thing :P


Hahaha anyway I like the Idea boltageman had, we fight in duos, and one trio, and then the last guy we can all take on together. So the duos are generated between all of us. I will be writing for Tezuka/Vera during this whole thing so feel free to call them and all. Do the trials take place in a big arena like in Naruto, or in a place like the preliminaries?

And we should probably start choosing teams. I have want to see Cole and Kazuna together, just because that would be hilarious. But I am down for anything so let me know what you all think...

weird, I made one right before reading that. here is is the link

The Cole, Kazuna thing would be cool, I just found a jutsu from the manga that would work with her, taken down in power of course, because it's powerful one, an S rank move.

I don't care really who Cole goes with, just say if you want him.

Hmmm I think it would be funny to see all of our characters be on duos that they kind of don't feel comfortable about (like Violet and Tezuka, Itachi and Vera)
anyways!

**Kazuna I think should stick around with Cole. But Lizzifer, you also forgot to include Shinjiro and Suika. How are we going to get them in?

P.S. I might not be able to post for I don't know how long. I am grounded. ;)
I'll sneak on as much as I can.

**Suika and Shinjiro can go with Korah. It won't be so awkward for them, but they might ignore him a little, given that Suika's shy and Shinjiro's a bit stuck-up.**

Cole~~

Slowly people began to gill in to the room after my team had picked our spot. We were is a fighting arena like room, with stands built above the ground, a large screen was set up, and a room above a statue of a the Tiger hand sign. Other then that the room was bare.

"So all 7 teams made it," I said impressed.

"Yeah thought only 4 or 5 would," Itachti said.

"Now that you are all here," A voice rang, and then a man entered, escorting a man under black hanging cloak, who was the leader of the shade. The man talking was skinny and looked ill, with pale skin, and his voice was pretty weak sounding. "We will start."

"Now as you know this is the third stage of the exam, the first one was information gathering, the second was for strategy and retrieval, and this one is for combat and ability to work with new people. So as a result this one will be pair fighting, so to start we will be pairing you up. Now everyone come down here and grab a piece of paper."

Me and my team jumped off, not wanting to walk to the stairs, and were the first to grab the papers, then we returned to the watching area.

The man, after all the papers were gone, made a hand sign, and all the papers let off a white smoke, and numbers appeared on them. "Now everyone find your number," The man shouted.

"Number 7," I shouted after jumping down to the ground again, the heard someone call the same. When I turned though I regretted it.

"You," an annoyed Kuzuna said.

"Hey no more happy here," I said and we walked back to the platforms. Itachti had been paired with the guy from Korah's team, and with the girl from the same, Korah was with Kuzuna's teammate Shinjiro and there was a third to there group, as a result of and odd number, who I learned to be Suika and she too was on Kazuna's team.

"Wow you would think destiny, all of us got tied into other teams because of this thing," I said.

"Yeah," Korah said, "So one of us will have to sit out the first round," he added to his partners, who began to hushed their voices while they talked.

"So yeah, I'll take one, you the other. Keep them a part, so they can't double up, if needed I have some fire lightning combos that me and Itachti have done, I could get them to you," I said and she just nodded.

"Okay that is enough, now we will start the fighting. Watch the screen for your numbers," The man said and then pressed a button on a small remote. The screen came to life, and began to spin off numbers, and then it stopped.

"Okay first match against teams 7 and 3. & being, Cole Sasi of the Sky Nation, and Kuzuna of the Shade, 3 or Korah Kisuke of the Mist, and Suika and Shinjiro of the Shade," The man said as the five of us went down, "Now let the fight begin."

With that I saw Suika jump away, and I drew my swords, Kazuna went at Korah, and I was charging Shinjiro, but then I froze, along with everyone. At that moment a band went off and the roof was torn open, and five shadows were visible.

"Hello," Said one, "I hope you don't min d if we join you." And then the four jumped down.

"Looks like we have a bigger fight," I said and charged a tall jangly one. His hair was black, and blood stained, his eyes cold and gray.

"Oh no you don't," He said and then made a few signs, and sent a fire ball at me, only a second later to be turned to sparks by another one. Turning around I saw Kazuna hurtling fire balls at him, so I joined by sending a few lightning balls at him. He went back, and jumped through a door, we followed and found ourselves in an arena just like the last, but somewhat smaller.

"Now lets fight," He said playful, and the door behind us shut.

Yay we start! lizzifer and RoD, I will let you guys start the battles with Vera and Tezuka and then I will jump in! For now, Billy, here WE go...

Korah

Korah slowly flipped out his sword, listening to the sound of the metal scrapping along the scabbard as he drew it forth and flourished it in front of him. Korah swung violently and grinned as the area around him began to stir and dance with wind and energy. His chakra began to increase, causing his hair and clothes to wave and flutter as the power inside of him grew.

"So..." he murmured softly to himself as he watched Kauzna slowly began to move towards him, "You're my opponent."

"Looks that way," she snipped back as she raised her hand and summoned her chakra. A ball of fire suddenly appeared above her hand, floating and rotating as red flames licked her finger tips and danced down her wrist.

"Unlucky for you," Korah said with a grin, "Water beats fire any day." Raising two fingers above his face Korah summoned his chakra as a thin, snake like line of water slowly rose up from the ground and curled around his body. Kazuna just smirked as she charged forward, the fire glowing in her hand as she made to throw it at Korah. A sudden tearing sound filled the room as the whole room began to shake and pieces of rubble suddenly began to tumble from above, causing everyone to freeze as their eyes were cast up to the roof.
'
Korah froze, his eyes narrowing into slits as he looked up to see that a large portion of the ceiling had been torn away. Standing in the opening were five single silhouettes, all of them were staring down at the students as the one standing in the middle pointed down at them and whispered, "Kill them, all."

The four surrounding the central figure seemed to disappear in a flash, only to reappear amidst the students. In a matter of seconds three of the students already lay dead in the ground, the four figures so quick that their movements seemed to move faster then even the eye could see. Turning Korah saw one of the enemy ninja standing where the Shade instructor had stood only moments before. In the enemies hand was a single head, blood dripping from the neck as the body of the Shade Ninja led sprawled out on the floor. The Ninja stood there smiling, his head pointed down as he slowly looked up and locked eyes with Korah. Then he vanished. Korah didn't have time to think, he only had time to act. Moving quickly Korah made a number of hand seals while calling, "Water Wall Jutsu!" Opening his mouth he spit out a large wave of water that wrapped itself around him.

Korah paused, his breath coming out heavily as his mind whirled in wonder. Those eyes he thought, those eyes carried with them the death of hundreds! I have never felt something like that in all of my life!

Looking up he saw a shape on the other side of his wall slowly move and glide along. Suddenly something stabbed into his water wall, making a grating sound as it sought to break through. Korah just grinned, this was a B level Jutsu, and could hold off almost any attack, no way his opponent would be able to break it open. Suddenly the water wall shook as a loud hiss erupted in the air, Korah's eyes went wide as the wall erupted, something pierced through it with a flash, coming straight at Korah.

With a grunt Korah swung his blade around, hitting the attack object away as he leapt out of his water all and landed a few feet away as the water collapsed onto the ground. "Are you okay?" a voice asked, and Korah turned to see Shinjiro standing off to his side.

Korah opened his mouth to reply but paused as a flash of burning pain flared up in his shoulder. Looking over Korah grimaced in amazement as he saw that his shoulder had been pierced by the enemies weapon. "When..." he murmured, "I thought I blocked it."

"Hardly," a voiced hissed as a figure came moving towards them. "You managed to push my attack to the side, causing me to miss your heart, but you weren't able to dodge the blow completely."

"Obviously," Korah said with a chuckle, "I'll be more careful next time."

"If you have a next time," the figure answered, "I prefer to finish my battles quickly...."

Okay here we go Billy. Any ideas for this guys bloodline?

I was thinking of mixing his skills with a few. Focusing more on a Earth Based Jutsu's, specifically Kakuz's (The akatsuki member who was teamed up with Hidan) ability to turn his body into a hard metal like substance to increase his strength and make him harder to hurt. Basically he can turn his skin into a rock like substance, so he is nearly invulnerable to physically attacks and super strong. I also wanted to give him something else but wasn't sure if you had any ideas. And this will get us going at least for now. If you use Korah for now he only uses wind/water attacks. He is keeping a bloodline secret like everyone else though I am guessing he may have to use some ice in this battle!

**I'm thinking, DSF, if Korah's going to reveal his bloodline, these fights would be the best ones to do so in. I reckon I'll have Shinjiro reveal his against the last guy, since it won't make much difference against this one. As for bloodline, your idea works fine, since we want to make him powerful, but not impossibly so. And for the leader, I'm thinking he should have some kind of eye-thing, like one of the ones from the comics. Either that, or he could be some relative of Tezuka's, with stronger mastery of the bloodline copying thing. Or would you prefer that to come up later?**

Shinjiro

He looked around, gauging his options. Suika was nowhere to be seen - that was good, she'd probably vanished herself as soon as the five enemy ninja had appeared in the roof. It meant they had an extra advantage on this one, he had no idea she was there.

"If you have time..." Korah's attacker was saying to him, "I prefer to finish my battles quickly."

Shinjiro chose that moment to act, not to save Korah, he couldn't care less if the other genin lived or died. Rather, it was because their opponent was distracted.

Along with a flurry of shuriken, Shinjiro threw one of his spears, knowing that he could quickly retrieve it as long as he kept a grip on the other. There was a sound like rocks crashing together, and Shinjiro saw all his shuriken rebound off the ninja's skin. My god. That's got to be an A or an S level defence... The man caught the spear one handed, looked down the length of it at Shinjiro, and then yanked on it.

Shinjiro flew through the air, shocked at the man's strength, and then was sent flying back as one solid punch collided with him. Thankfully, the man let go of Shinjiro's spear in the process, and he was able to land, gasping for breath and seriously injured, but temporarily out of range.

This was going to be harder than he thought. Physical attacks were useless against this guy. Of course, Suika did hae some genjutsu skills, and he didn't doubt that this Korah kid had some powerful ninjutsu, going off the water walls and everything he'd been throwing around. But Shinjiro didn't like the prospect of having to resort to all his shadow manipulating attacks, they felt a little to close to his bloodline, and he wanted to hold that card for as long as he could.

YES! I have been waiting for you to post Billy. Oh I came up with an eye Jutsu for the last guy. Go check out the discussion thread, it's not set in stone or anything, but the idea is fun, so let us know what you think and stuff. MWAHAHAHAHA here we go!

Oh and let's not finish this to quickly, I want to have some fun with it.

Korah

Korah let out a slight curse as Shinjiro was flung across the arena like a rag doll, his body hitting the ground hard and rolling along the floor before finally coming to a stop. With a painful cough Shinjiro slowly rose back up to his feet, his eyes narrowed as he leaned on one of his spears and tried to stable himself.

"Shit, your strong," Korah said with a smile, "this should be fun."

His opponent didn't even respond. One moment he was standing in front of Korah and the next he seemed to appear beside him. Korah's eyes went wide as he dodge to the side and swung his sword out. This guy is fast, he thought as his sword connected with his opponent's fist, sending sparks everywhere with a screech of metal on metal. Grunting Korah glared at the man, before ducking to the side and releasing his sword from the deadlock, striking hard and fast he leaped into the air as he unleashed a fury of attacks, his sword hitting every vulnerable spot he could think of.

As he landed a few feet away he turned to see their opponent slowly turn around, a malicious grin on his face as he called, "Was that supposed to hurt."

Korah just stared at him in shock, the Ninja stood totally unharmed, his hard skin glistening in the light that fell from the hole in the roof. There wasn't a single scratch on him anywhere. He truly is invulnerable to our basic physical attacks, Korah realized, I will need Shinjiro's help for this one.

Turning he took a step back towards Shinjiro and asked, "Are you still able to fight."

"Of course," Shinjiro growled, "It will take a lot more then that to put me out of commission."

"Good," Korah said with a grin, "Cause we are going to need to work together to finish this guy off." Shinjiro opened his mouth to protest but Korah quickly cut him off, "Listen I don't like the idea anymore then you do, but he's tuff, and unless you have something that can pierce that skin of his were in trouble." Shinjiro didn't respond, he merely grunted in agreement. "Good," Korah said, "Now let's do this together, we need to see how strong his defense is and I have a jutsu that should work, think you can distract him so i can get a hit on him?"

"No problem," Shinjiro muttered as he stood to his feet and took off running to the left. Korah turned and ran to the right, and they began to circle their opponent. Shinjiro went in first. Leaping into the air he unleashed another flurry of Kunai and Shuriken which bounced harmlessly off the ninja's skin. "That all you got!" the big Ninja bellowed as Shinjiro tossed one more at him.

The big ninja caught the last one Shinjiro through, a grin on his face, but the smile quickly faded as Shinjiro called, "Got you." Raising up to fingers Shinjiro called, "Release," right as the enemy ninja saw the exploding tag attached to the kunai. He didn't even have a chance to throw it as the explosion ripped through the air, sending smoke and debris everywhere as Shinjiro landed on the ground with a grunt of triumph.

The victory was short lived however, as the smoke faded the enemy came walking out, his hard skin hardly even blemished from the attack. "Impossible..." Shinjiro growled, "To take an exploding note face first and barley be scratched..."

"You can't hurt me!" their opponent bellowed.

"Wanna bet," Korah asked from behind, his red eyes were narrowed into slits as he sunk himself into an aggressive position.

"What!" the Ninja growled in shock as he spun around, trying to dodge the attack he knew was coming.

He was a second to late. Making the signs Korah stepped back and raised his sword in the air. Swinging it forward with force he called, "Blade of Wind!" With a hiss a large blade of air flew off of Korah's sword, flying toward the ninja in the blink of an eye and colliding with him. The man raised his arms up, trying to offer himself some sort of protection as the blade of wind caught him straight on and sent him flying across the room. He collided into the wall with a boom that shook the whole room as a cloud of dust rose into the air.

"Got him!" Korah said with a grin as he slowly relaxed his stance.

Shinjiro didn't reply, he just watched the dust, staring at the wall their opponent had been slammed into. "You're dead!" a sudden voice screamed.

"Impossible," Korah whispered, his sword lowering to the ground as he watched the enemy ninja come stumbling out of the ruined wall. A thin line ran along his chest and arms, dripping a small line of blood from where the wind blade had hit him. "That is an A-rank Jutsu, it can cut through trees, rocks, nearly anything..." Korah said, as he watched the man stumble out.

"Were taking this to the next level!" their opponent screamed, his face enraged as he quickly made a number of seals before slamming his hands onto the ground and yelling, "Earth Release: Earth Moan Jutsu!" The ground suddenly began to heave and move, splitting open as an earthquake fell on the area. Korah was nearly tossed off of his feet as he struggled to find footing.

A sudden shadow passed over head and he looked up to see the enemy ninja come flying at him. Korah raised his sword, and managed to block the blow, but it sent his sword spiraling from his hands as he felt something in his arm crack from the blow. Grunting in pain Korah barley had time to think as his opponent swung down, catching him in the stomach. Korah blanched, trying to breathe as all the air was forced from his lungs as the man hit him one more time, this time in the face. The blow hit hard, though Korah did his best to roll with it. He was lifted off his feet however, and thrown half way across the room where he landed with a thump on the ground. His vision began to blur but he slowly struggled to his feet, just in time to see the enemy going for Shinjiro..."


*****

Okay I'm sorry its long, i just got excited. So you can write, have Korah use his Water Dragon attack, something that will throw the guy away. Or do whatever, I trust your creativity. I will have Korah reveal his bloodline next time I post!

Kazuna

She shifted in her feet nervously. The man clad in black before them was grinning wildly and he broke out into a loud maniacal laugh. None of her attacks had made it through. She had sent at least twenty barrages of fire and still he stood there unscathed. Cole, beside her let out a sigh and seemed to prepare himself to attack the man again. She raced to the side taking out a variety of weapons and threw them at the man, and watched him dodge them easily.

"Damn you!" Kazuna yelled at him, deciding to shift and attack him front on. Long-range attacks would not work with this guy, so maybe she would be able to get through his defense, hopefully wounding him enough to trigger a better chance at actually hitting him with Cole's lightening attacks.

Jumping above him quickly, she lifted into the air gracefully, turning fully and she tried to ram down on him with a kick. He grabbed her foot quickly, Kazuna automatically trying to kick away, and threw her to the ground. She landed with a satisfying crack but still she got up. A searing pain lifted through her left arm, most likely a small fracture. There was nothing she could do about it now.

"Do you really think you will be able to pull that on me?" He laughed again, making it echo off the walls surrounding them. She looked over quickly and noticed the lanterns on the wall. All of them were lit by fire. With a flick of her wrist, they flickered out making the room into darkness. She felt herself reasured no matter how much she disliked the darkness. She knew she was most comfortable fighting in these conditions.

"Cole!" Kazuna yelled in the darkness, breaking out in a run again, making sure there was room inbetween her and the other opponent. "You fine with it like this?"

"I guess so." He said, but his voice wasn't as sure as his words.

She let loose a large blast of fire and watch the room light up momentarily. Cole was on the otherside of the room. The oppenent was no where to be seen. Looking around quickly before the illumination died out, the man popped up right in front of her and gripped her around the throat, a kunai to her neck.

Shinjiro

Where the hell is Suika? He thought, frantically making handsigns as the missing nin charged him. Shadow tie jutsu! The shadows around the man wrapped around his legs, trying to pull him down. At the speed he was travelling at, the sudden immovable bonds of the shadows meant that he was tripped, falling flat on his face.

Struggling to his feet, he dusted himself off with a growl and started struggling forward again. It was an obvious effort for him, but his strength meant that he was able to gradually move towards Shinjiro.

Shinjiro's gaze moved past the struggling warrior's shoulder, there wasn't much he could do right now. He was concentrating on stopping this one from moving long enough for someone else to bring a more damaging jutsu into play. His shadows were useful for little more than setting up physical attacks, he only had a few that would do otherwise, and wanted to save them for the time being.

He nodded, and suddenly the missing nin stopped dead, his eyes wide. He raised his hands, "Wh-what?" He said, "Impossible! Nothing can break through this, least of all a shadow!"

Behind him, Suika was smiling shyly, crouched in shadows. Ah, Shinjiro thought, understanding now, She's making him think my shadows are eating away his skin.

They still couldn't attack him, though, despite what they made him think, they still had no useful attacks against him. He frowned, then shook his hands, looking from Shinjiro to Suika, "Ah. A user of the mental gift I see. Cunning, but not good enough. I'll kill you both now." He closed his eyes, and shrugged off Shinjiro's shadows.

"Too late!" Korah yelled out from across the room, just as the last shadows started to unravel from their opponent's legs, "Water Dragon Jutsu!"

The missing nin could only stare as the massive dragon barrelled towards him from across the room, droplets spraying off it as it surged towards him. He was ripped away from the shadows holding him down as the dragon collided with him, and sent tumbling into a wall. Chips of rock spun away all over the place, signalling that they'd at least damaged his supposedly impenetrable armour.

Shinjiro rushed across to Korah, bending down next to him, "We can't beat him like this, we have to find a way of getting rid of that armour. Do you have any water attacks that will eat it away quickly? Or anything that can put him out of action? Suika and I can paralyse him again for a while if you need us to, but we ourselves have nothing of use against someone with this kind of defence."

Okay its long, but SO cool because I finish off the guy! MWAHAHAHAHAH! And the branch of ice won't melt for a couple days probably, in case anyone needs to know that!

Korah

Korah's face was serious for once. He stood, slightly bent and breathing heavily as he clutched his broken arm in one hand. The dragon had hit the missing nin, and hit him good, but not good enough. He could already see the large man's form moving, and slowly picking himself up through the cloud of dust that filled the air.

Shinjiro rushed over to where he was, bending down next to him as he asked, "We can't beat him like this, we have to find a way of getting rid of that armour. Do you have any water attacks that will eat it away quickly? Or anything that can put him out of action? Suika and I can paralyse him again for a while if you need us to, but we ourselves have nothing of use against someone with this kind of defence."

"I have one attack," Korah answered grimly as he straightened himself and let the broken arm flop down to the side. "But we are going to need to soften up his skin a bit more."

"Do you have any ideas for that?" Shinjiro asked.

"Yes," Korah answered grimly as he slowly turned and look Shinjiro in the eye, "You and Suika need to let him attack you, one from the right and left at different times. I will defend you."

Shinjiro just nodded, "Very well." Turning he leapt over to where Suika was and quickly relayed to her the plan as Korah raised his one good hand in the air. Doing one handed seals wasn't easy, but it was a speciality of his clan, and something that would save them all in this battle. He would also need his sword if this was all going to work thought. Looking around he saw it lying a little ways off and hurried over to where it was. Grasping the handle he slid it into the sheath on his back as he turned around to watch the battle that was about to unfold.

Suika and Shinjiro were circling their opponents, one moving in from the right and the other the left. Suika went first darting forward she rolled along the ground before kicking her legs out in an attempt to knock the man off his feet. He was quick however and leapt over the kick before raising his fist and bringing it down towards her. That was when Korah acted, making the signs with his one hand he called, "Ice Wall Jutsu!" Opening his mouth he spit out a large stream of water that landed in front of Suika and immediately froze, forming a solid wall. The missing nin didn't even hesitate, confident in his strength he swung forward with a roar. As he connected with the wall there was a loud crack and he wobbled back a bit with a grunt of surprise.

A slight crack shone in the ice, but it still stood, tall and impenetrable. Before the nin had a chance to react Shinjiro moved in, unleashing a rain of shurriken as he jumped forward and kicked out. His kick hit the nin in he back of the head, making him stumble a bit but hardly slowing him down as he turned to retaliate with a growl. Korah moved again, making the signs he called out, "Ice Wall Jutsu," before spitting out another wall of ice.

This one to proved to be to strong for the enemy nin who's bunch barley even left a scratch. Whirling to face Korah the man growled, "You think this will stop me!"

"It already has," Korah spat as a slow smile spread along his face. "Hold him, Shinjiro!" he called out, "But don't get to close!" Immediately a the man's shadow leapt forward, wrapping itself around him and holding him down as he let out a cry of anger. Korah didn't even hesitate as he made the signs and called, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" three clones appeared, and they began to run at once.

Two hurtled themselves forward at once, tackling the enemy Nin and making sure he couldn't move as Korah and the other shadow clone quickly made some signs. "Gotach," Korah whispered as he called, as he moved his hand forward, summoning his chakra. The ice wall's responded, and moved forward, crushing the enemy Nin in-between them as the other clone called, "Shadow Explosion Jutsu!"

A large boom shook the room as the two shadow clones holding the nin exploded like bombs. The ice walls banged together and then shattered under the fore of the explosion as a cloud of smoke billowed in the air. Korah nearly fell over, and he had to dig his sword into the ground to keep himself from collapsing. Suika and Shinjiro suddenly appeared at his side, "Think that got him?" Suika asked.

"Hardly," Korah answered, "But I bet it did soften him up, enough for the final attack."

"Ice Manipulation," Shinjiro observed.

"Yep," Korah answered with a grin, "Water and wind are mixed together and then infused with my chakra, making the ice like metal, extra sharp, and almost impervious to fire." Doing his best to steady himself he raised his sword in the air as he whispered, "This last Jutsu was something my father was working on, he never got to finish it, and though I haven't mastered it either I will someday." Turning to Suika and Shinjiro he said, "You need to get out of here, or at least watch from as far away as you can. I can only control this Jutsu to a certain level and it doesn't distinguish between friend or foe."

"You don't have enough chakra to do anything else," Shinjiro observed.

"No, but this sword does," Korah answered as he patted the blade that pulsed with a soft red light. "It has quite a bit stored inside from my battle with Cole, and now is as good a time to use it as any."

A sudden roar of fury shook the room and Korah whirled to Shinjiro and Suika, "You need to get away now! This Jutsu hunt's those with Chakra, it will kill you if you don't move!" They both nodded, vanishing as Korah turned and stabbed his sword in the ground. He began to make one handed seals, going fast as a figure came staggering out of the smoke.

"You think you've beat me!" the missing Nin shrieked! "Things have only started!"

With a grim smile Korah finished the last seal before he grabbed his sword and held it above the ground. Closing his eyes he whispered, "Tree of Heaven, Release." Then he dropped the sword. It seemed to fall slowly, twirling in mid air as it hit the ground. The earth almost seemed to turn to liquid as the sword disappeared inside the ground. Then things began to change. At once the temperature in the room dropped almost fifty degrees, and kept plunging as all the water began to freeze and the enemy Ninja's breathe came out in a little cloud.

Korah raised his good hand and whispered, "Die." Ice suddenly shot out on the ground, wrapping around Korah and crawling up his arm before shooting off. It was like a thick pillar that branched off into tiny branches, looking like a tree that was rapidly growing. However the end of each branch was like a sharp sword, and as the tree continued to grow more and more ends and swords appeared. The Ninja turned to run but the branch was to fast. The main body of it caught the nin in the stomach, slicing through his tough armor and burying itself in his gut as a stream of blood cascaded from his mouth. He didn't have time to move, as the smaller branches set in, piercing him in numerous spots as his screams of terror ripped through the air. Korah just watch. His face blank as the branches of ice skewered the man, punching holes throughout his body. The Jutsu was designed to hunt chakra. It attacked the victim in their chakra points and gates, severing them. So that even if the opponent survived, they would probably never be able to use chakra, again.

As the nin's death throes slowly began to fade Korah realized his breath was coming out heavily. He could barley do this Jutsu, even this partial form. If his other arm was working he could make two full branches, that filled the room as they grew and pierced everything in the area. Two were all his father had been able to do, but someday he would complete it and an actual tree would be formed. With a sigh of relief the ice broke from his body and the large branch slipped off his arm, crashing into the ground. Korah followed, and before he even hit the earth, he blacked out...
