| - Dressed in dark colors as the name Dark Slayer implies, Raido X sauntered with a slow bounce in his step as he finally arrived. Dressed in black form shades to shoes he slowly kept this stride as into view came two of his oldest children Shenron and Eihei. Both of his lineage and the uzumaki's own, their hair as fiery red as the mothers that bore them, both carrying the looks of what appeared to early confidence and a sound mind. True to his nature he couldn't help a slick remark concerning his children's sense of punctuality. "Well looks like everyone came to class today and on time. First impressions are the last one's and I am glad to see you two are so anxious to get started". Raido said with his arms held out as if he were expecting a hug. He found enough humor in this scenario to give himself a good laugh. "Ahem anyway we are all gathered here to today to begin ght passing ceremony of the Arihant". Raido said in a deep formal voice, his voice reverberating through the ground as the octaves made his throat rumble and vibrate. Talking formally was beyond him funny but more so Yama's style. This time Raido called the shots and the game. "You both are smart kids and you understand what you gotta do. To accept this crown you gotta be willing to step up, but that's just the easy part. To get the crown and title you got be willing to beat me" To beat me....." Raido said shifting his gaze between his son and daughter. A long pause insinuating what was to follow. "You gotta be willing to break some bones". Raido said balling up his fist, the knuckles cracking and popping in sync gearing up for combat. Though the shades dark as they may be blocked the looks in his eyes that unmistakable red and purple glare that emitted from both his eyes grew brighter as his excitement level rose slightly. The gaze never breaking between either of his kids he stood idle in between them and placed his right hand forward and uttered a phrase that he said to both of their mothers on their respective nights he helped conceive them. "Come to daddy" Raido said sneering behind the shades and motioning them to do so. Listening to the Dark Slayer's witty yet unneccary puns, Shenron contemplated his first move. This battle is going to be like a game of chess or shōgi, a series of different moves, where tough decisions have to be made in order to be the victor. With his sister standing closer to their opponenet, Shenron took three steps forward. As he did this, his lips gently moved opened, exhaling some more black mist from his mouth. Placing his left palm on Eihei's right shoulder he uttered. "It seems Daddy needs understand he is an old dog with no new tricks. Let's show him the power of the next generation." A plethora of battle experience laid out the history of the Dark Slayer's past no move was to be wasted, however he wasn't a spoil sport either, the rumbling of the ground was a nice cover, but the amounting pressure beneath him he could feel within the ground as it gave way before the fire struck. He didn't need eyes to be in tune with his surroundings. Fire long before it reached its target gave off heat,this very same heat beneath him grew as well did the newly splitting pillars of fire that all took their stand among the battle Using Capoeira movements Raido performed a au batido cartwheel and flipped diagonally to his left hand side away from the fiery pillar which sought to burn his new black shoes to a crisp. Feeling out the heat of the splitting pillars and tracing the patterns which his sharingan he could avoid being in the path of their intended vectors. Seeing that the pillars could extend their range and were more than capable of linear attacks was dully noted and using his knowledge of the element of fire he didn't need to break his gaze too much. He kept a low crouch to which he could still move quickly in should he need to. Capoeira taught control of one's body well and such a move was as easy as walking. Beyond the roaring of the rumbling of the world around him he managed to hear someone yelling scatter, the base of the voice made it clear it was shenron making the moves and that his plan was a divided base scheme to attackfrom multiple directions Multiplying the chances of a direct hit or at least a glancing blow. Pillars that split into various directions, scattering weapons he could see where this was going even if his eyes were wide shut, divert the gaze double the diversion and follow up with a scatter attacked. it increases the chances for a direct hit and if all else fails... glancing blow. Placing his hand out and opening his palm facing skyward and the back of his hand facing the ground, a black substance began to form from both side of hands, protruding from his gloves. This black substance turned into a strong and durable Black Receiver which fired from both sides, the one closest to the ground struck it with such force to penetrate through terra firma beneath them impaling itself among the dirt and rocks. The one facing skyward shot violently into the air slicing through with such ferver it whistled as it broke wind. Content with the choice of moves he began to sway back and forth changing direction constantly, shifting elsewhere before breaking off into a new motion. His words were but short and ominous and something he said to everyone. "Eyes on the Prize". Raido said as he swayed wandering which the children would pay attention to, him the rod in the air, perhaps the rod into the ground. maybe even fall victim to the move they did not see that was literally right in front of them. Who knows???? In a battle where both opponents only seek victory and posses no other motives, it is smart to simply test the water before diving in. While Shenron may have both a historical and personal understanding of his father, nothing substitutes an all out battle. With this in mind, the Shogun kept his distance, masking himself by hiding amongst the trees and masking his chakra scent. Watching as his relative react to his combo, Shenron reached into his pocket and grabbing another kunai. Spinning it on his right middle finger, he caught it then launched towards Raido, being guided and accelerated by wind chakra. Shenron, being behind his father, made it harder for his to see the attack coming. Yet this was just the beginning. Of course, the wind chakra would not only inform his opponent of his location but also alarm any sensor. Shenron took this all into account, and hoped for something like that to take place. This wind aura is nothing more than a "throw-off", a distraction, from the kunai's main purpose. On the weapon lied a seal, which imprisoned a thick mist of chakra, which would not only visually impair his opponent, but blind their chakra sensing ability as well. When in range, less than ten meters, the kunai would detonate, releasing the mist, similar to a flash bomb, most likely surprising both his ally and enemy due to the fact no muscle tension was required to release the kunai. "I hope you don't think I'm yet." he thought, as he prepared his follow-up to his own attack. While the commotion and chaos was happening, the pillars of fire have yet to lose their heat. Still blazing, if anyone truly analyzed the pillar they could tell what it is. Throughout history a handful of Uzumaki awaken a unique ability that allows them to release chains of chakra as an extension of themselves. While theses chains are mostly used for barriers and other defensive techniques, with enough chakra control one can take chains to the next level. Seeing how the chains are an extension of his body, Shenron can focus his chakra into a state of nature, and create various attack through the chains. The three pillars of pyro were actually chakra chains infused with nature transformation. And now Shenron would do it again. Using the same three chains before he focused a new nature into the them, lightning. And with mist in the air, the lightning would find a good conductor to spread across the region. The Dark Slayer could tell his children were indeed seasoned fighters based on their current tactics however he could also tell they were incredibly green and wet behind the ears still. Shenron was still in hiding but misunderstood just what it was his father's sensory abilities were as well as his connection to Yama. Thanks to the Sync of the two beyond the unnatural sensory ability he boasted nnear perfect 360 degree vision. The Rinnegan of both Yama and Raido was linked and for old combat purposes he always had Yama facing his flank. Unknown to Shenron he basically he was had the moment the Kunai left his hands. Eihei attacking forward and coming fast in the direction of him meant either they expected him to dodge or their was something more to this front and a precaution was already taken. The knowledge that both his children possessed his healing abilities also played to the designed style that the two were simply testing the waters. It was unfortunate they chose to swim in the deep end and forgot something already, but all in time. Fire quickly grew on his finger tips of his right hand and he slammed them into the ground erecting and calling forth the powerful Uchiha Flame Formation creating a cylindercal barrier around his body and area which kept him proected from all outside protrusions and surroundings. Anything outside would be unable to slip pass the barrier and bring no harm to the dark slayer and burning what did make contact with it. With his left hand on two of his finger tips a dark energy flared just for a momentary second. Having decided to block rather than dodge he gave himself from breathing roon but also set himself up for future moves, some of which were designed to show false openings. The question is who would be smart enough to pass them up, and who would impatient enough to take them. With Eihei destroying the Uchiha barrier, Shenron knew it was time to take things up a notch. With the mist still thickening, Shenron made an effort to make sure his attack was successful this time. Focusing more chakra into his chains, the lightning would become more deadly, electrocuting everything in the forest. But Shenron knew this could not be all, even with electrical currents surging, Raido could easily evade both of their attacks. Focusing chakra onto his feet, he uttered a couple of words. Smirking he would tap his right foot, the earth beneath the Dark SLayer would suddenly disappear. The technique was so fast, that it almost seemed instantaneous, even though that was nowhere near the case. With the floor beneath him gone, Raido would be caught mid-air making it much easier for his sister to deal a significant blow to her father and much harder for him to avoid. It was a combination that seemed to be working quite well. Too well... "I see you took the come to daddy thing literally" However you two already committed your first mistake. Raido said as the shades gleamed within the light of the sun. Another frontal attack by Eihei and another offsetting attack by Sheron, the math was adding up to the dark Slayer and he was beginning to see the writing on the wall for what it was. There was no coordination in their techniques but at any moment this random chaos could be a cover for a well thought out attack.. How did he guess?? because it was something he would do. The sudden shift of the ground beneath him did mess with his balance and put him in harms way of Eihei impending sword which was bearing down on him quickly. However she was also in harms way since she sliced through the barrier. Her haste to do so showed Raido two things 1:that Shenron gave her some sort of protection which enabled her to brazenly attack the barrier with zero damage otherwise she would be lit up right now. his guess at this was because Eihei was in his line of sight the entire time and made no other moves but attacks easily pointing out it was Shenron's doing. Two Shenron was using Eihei to create an opening for himself to land a attack, whether one from her or one from him. They say the test of a man is not what he does with what he has, but what he does with what is given to him to worth with. Shenron and Eihei gave him everything he needed. Sure Eihei sliced through the front of the barrier but the back and side still stood and protected their respective directions, the size of the barrier was enough to protect the Gedo Mazo and had the strength to deflect Tailed beast punches, Eihei would have needed to slice down all sides with her water style to truly drop the barrier. Eihei was now directly in front of him meaning he did not need to adjust his aim and her shortening the distance in conjuncture with the moving core of the earth beneath him only gave him that much more to work with. Raido should thank Shenron and Eihei for their help. Eihei's assault on the barrier and willingness to stay in his line of sight made it clear her protection was not of her doing but of the sibling who was not within his vision. Shenron he would thank for simply making it this much easier to strike his sister, his willingness to adbide his time from a distance would also be his undoing as he was no safer than Eihei was. Channeling his power through the realm of the God's. The Deva Path he made use of the Shinra Tensei's principles to repel forces and incoming objects, but he did not completely repel the incoming daughter instead he used his body as an epicenter to create a wall of force between their positions which she would likely run into since she relied on the speed of the Body flicker for a direct attack as such and had no means to change direction since Body flicker relied more on velocity which is speed in one direction, if she did change motions she would need to compensate for that by stopping and starting again and if she did she would be able to avoid the outward wall of force that surrounded him. Instead of a thrusting blade into their father it would run into an invisible wall of force, to stop her advance and hold her in place for a second which was all he needed. Channeling his power through the realm of Demons, the Asura Path he summoned one mechanized arm from his back at will which he could aim flawlessly thanks to the walls hold on her and her incoming speed and his ability to sense Dukkha and his dojutsu. The hand of the mechanical hand was opened and making use of the paths ability called Flaming Arrow of Amazing Ability he fired the hand free with great fury in the form of an open ended palm strike. The hand took off with great speed like a cannonball fired from an angry cannon ready to slam into the once mobile daughter and violently smash into her. Thanks to the shortening of distance Eihei gave him she would have even less time to compensate for the wall of gravity she would smack into out of nowhere much less the flying palm strike aimed directly at her. Alas the assault was not over Within the palm of this hand was a unique symbol and seal. The Forbidden Technique: Gedō Seal a seal that he had picked up when escaping from Orochimaru's Devil's Playground many many years ago. This seal had the ability to seal a target's abilities, including a kekkei genkai ability, causing pain to the target, even when not using their ability. Meaning Eihei would not longe rhave access to her ninjutsu abilities and on top of that she would be in constant pain for as long as the seal remained. He had this in place back during his last battle with Sannoto Senju so there was no need for the prep timing, it was done long before this battle. Whatever barrier or protection Sheron put on her would not protect her this time, since the firing hand was nothing more than a long distance taijutsu strike and the seal on the hand was fuinjutsu and not ninjutsu it was open season on Eihei since she would likely have no defense against the force of gravity which even with a dojutsu can not be seen her protection was more ninjutsu but against a long range taijutsu attack and seal she should be exposed. Simply because it was the warm-up part of the battle, Shenron would base his strategy on the many laws Raido taught him as a child. Law 35: Master the Art of Timing. Ever since the beginning the Red-haired Emperor has kept his distance, watching, waiting for the perfect time to actually launch a serious attack. By sending offsetting attacks, and having his sister go on as the muscle, Raido would be forced to play cards that would've better to use later. Law 35 would correlate to another law. Law 8: Make other People come to you – use Bait if Necessary. To keep his distance and maintain law 35, Shenron would need to Eihei to be the bait. While it is sad, it is the truth. By creating barriers and aiding her, Shenron made her the undeniable threat at the moment, which would cause Raido to have most of his focus on her. Law 8 would intertwine with Law 31: Control the Options: Get Others to Play with the Cards you Deal. By forcing Raido into tougher and tough situations, and creating openings for Eihei both would have to deal with the circumstances they were in, which was exactly what Shenron wanted. Well aware of Raido's skillset, Shenron would of course plan ahead, coming up with various different outcomes. And now it was time to commence the next part of his plan, and translate to Law 17: Keep Others in Suspended Terror: Cultivate an Air of Unpredictability. As Raido used the rinnegan signature, Shinra Tensei. Shenron uttered the word, "Check" before leaving the place he stood. Time was of the essence, so the attack needed to be swift, yet perfect. Instantly appearing near one of his chains, Shenron would be only a couple of meters above Raido. With three kunai at hand each encoated a different element. One lighting, one fire, the other wind. With his seal active, Shenron had more clarity than the sharingan and better reflexes than a taijutsu master. Launching all three, each had its own path. The lighting kunai would be short, angled to hit the wall of pit. The fire and wind kunai would collide, causing the fire to go off course, but not without igniting the wind kunai. Now the dual element enhanced would be right on target, Raido's gut, and with gravity on his side the kunai would be even more likely to connect. But of course this was not all. Another Shenron would emerge from the side of the pit, behind the descending Dark Slayer. With a condensed ball of rotating chakra at hand, he would be no more than three feet away from Raido. It was about time things spiced up a little bit. "Just because I taught you everything you know, doesnt mean I taught you everything I know". Raido said with a slick smile he was so elated shenron took the bait and came in close, of course he probably did not do so without well plannd precautions, he knew the only reason sheron would do so was if he was sure of something on land. For one he knew if he protected Eihei with a barrier the same was likely for him meaning no typical ninjutsu, which would actually make his focus within one move set much easier. Shenron also seemed uninformed that the hand was protected by chakra, which is much like energy it can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be manifested since it was his chakra protecting it. The chains moving at the speed they were was indeed a problem, but whats faster than blinding speed. Instant movement. With the and and explosion still in a range and having his chakra he instantly switched places with the object using a move he was given by Yama a few years ago as well. Amenotejikara which allowed him to switch space with an area or object of his choosing. The hand he fired was indeed that object of choice and instantly the switch took place. Showing he had sime time space moves of his own. However Sheron boldness where patience may have served him better would cost him. He easily gave away the scope of his time space moves as he was easily able to quickly move Eihei from harm and use the moves he set up earlier to quickly close the gap between them meaning it was around the confines of things related to his chakra or barrier seals. He could deduct it was a good chance Shenron placed a marker where he was prior to his attack where he could port back to, and he could easily port to Eihei or his pillars. He knew exactly where Sheron had been thanks to his sensory of the spot of his last known location of his lifeforce prior to the jump here. Having instantly switched spaces with the hand which was now to take his fall and deal with the attack but this hand was some extra kick to it you could say. The hand was indeed a weapon of his Asura Path modifications, and unknown to his children the hand was actually more than a missile but apart of the High Yield Explosive Rounds mortar attack. Which thanks to the hands chakra protection was undisturbed by the explosion up to lest it would have gotten really ugly too soon. However now it would violently explode and fill the entire section where he once stood with a high impact concussive force which would send crack running through the ground as it they were scared. All it took was one snap of the fingers which Raido did the moment his feet touched down after shifting spaces. Happy with his first mini plan he knew and knew better than to know to let up on either child. He was sure Eihei as not up here playing with her thumbs so he slammed his palms on the ground and channeled his power through the Realm of the Animals, the Animal Path and called forth the Giant Three headed dog which appeared rose forth from the smoke towering over it with a meancing appearance. It's eyes possessing the same pattern as he a concentric pattern with six tomoe and a nasty grin of one not fed, its amber colored fur standing on edge ready for combat as was the master that rode the center of three heads. Eihei, Shenron!!!!!!! Its time for you to walk the dog and feed him you remember your responsiblities when you asked me for this So which of you wants to go first ?! Raido said laughing as if this dog was but a mere natural dog. Eyeing the lightning mist Shenron made it gave him a wonderful idea for his next move as his dark sphere was completely chanrged and ready and he didn't want shenron's hard work of making such an environment go to waste.
