The village that burned with lights every evening was burning to ash.
The flames roared, eating away at the establishments. The tall buildings crumbled. Pedestrians fleeing, screaming in horror, ninja of Kumogakure were already defending against the threat. Their enemies were ninja with blank hitai-ate, they moved from one rooftop to the next with ease. Streams of fire, bolts of lightning, jets and waves of water rose and dove into the narrow alleyways, extinguishing and starting fires. Two ninja fought upon the wires that danced up and down the large avenues in which the women and children were escaping. It was a battle of epic proportions, explosions ripped through the heart of the city.
A man stood there wearing these bad ass shades, his arms crossed over his chest, a red scarf fluttering upward in the intense heat that remained even after the explosions died down. Three Kumo ninja descended from above, landing upon the rooftop that the man was upon. "Ohara Nanimoto." The lead ninja called out to the mysterious man. Nanimoto stood there, his back turned to the three.
"Isn't it beautiful...? Like music, don't you think?" Nanimoto snickered, turning, glaring at the three ninja through the corner of his eye. The three ninja began forming seals, clapping their hands together.
A boy was visiting Kashoku during all this, moments ago was eating at a Takoyaki stand calmly when a large boulder tore through. Kōtaro looked down, his takoyaki boat was no longer sitting in front of him. "What...the fuck~!!" He growled, turning around, ignoring the fact that the chef, the owner, the waiters and waitresses already fled while he was still there in the stand, ignoring the chaos around him.
Sometime later, lightning crackled around Nanimoto's body, a spark dancing from his tongue. The three ninja that attacked him were sprawled out before him. He rose his hand to the sky, embers rising and spiraling in the air. "This victory is ours..."
"Kwaah~!" One of the many opposing ninja was launched into the air, followed by a second and third, soaring through the air screaming for their lives. A flicker appeared right before Nanimoto, Kōtaro appeared, his fists balled up, already missing his hooded sweater, wearing nothing but a large wife beater.
"Oryyaaa!!" He roared, throwing his fist forward, he last took on the properties of soft rubber, causing his whole fist to be lanced forward at Nanimoto who swayed to the left of the fist, grunting. It was to his surprise when the fist retracted that he'd take a powerful donkey kick to his face, shattering his shades.

He was enjoying time off, a mini vacation as it was called. Blonde hair swayed back and forth as a cool breeze pressed through it. However, cool breezes were eventually followed by thick black smoke. Looking out he saw that many of the buildings had been set ablaze and instantly the Shonyū knew that something was wrong. Following the apperent destruction, shinobi dressed in all black began leaping into the streets causing havok and destruction.
Instantly he leapt into action, armed with only a kunai he jumped into a crowd of the invaders. Evading and blocking their wild swings he floated like the wind through them. They weren't' very strong, Ch#&363nin at best however that didn't matter. His right arm slashed forward, striking clear across the jugular vein of one of the men.
Turning down he spun, releasing the metal weapon from his grasp. It whistled in the air a short distance before lodging itself into the neck of another man. It was now only two on one, but even though he was outnumbered the odds heavily favored Gendō. Traditionally the Iryo-nin of Kumo had not been very aggressive, and knew only defensive tactics. This Iryonin was different from the mold, the palms of his hands gently sparked and cracked with electricity.
Time seemed to still as he dashed forward and placed his palm on the chests of one of the men. At first the shinobi would feel a small shock, but after his muscles would tense and he would feel himself entering cardiac arrest. Shortly after, friction would set in boiling and bubbling the blood within the veins located within his heart. A moment after that, his heart would explode killing him instantly. A devilish grin lapsed on the face of the Shonyū. As soon, the final invaders fate was met like the others.
Looking around to see where else he could go, he saw a man standing upon a rooftop. Another whom he certainly did not recognize engaged him in combat. Instincts kicked in, and Gendō quickly moved to that position.

"Bastard you broke my shades!! I'm gonna' kill you~!!"
"They were stupid shades, anyway!!" Rooftops collapsed one after the next, the two were locked in close-combat only moments after the conflict begun. Nanimoto knew he was in trouble, Taijutsu wasn't his strong suit, and Kōtaro's punches were stinging. The sheer power behind each blow was leaving large welts and bruises up and down Nanimoto's arms. The man delivered a strong front kick, timing it perfectly with what he saw as an opening in Kōtaro's guard, sending Kōtaro rolling across the rooftop that began to give out, crumbling under him.
Grunting, he cocked a fist back, casting his whole arm forward just as the next building over was rising out of view. His hand gripped the awning, and suddenly he was sent hurling up and over the destroyed rooftop, being slung toward his hand's position. He threw his legs out in front of him, releasing the awning just before he came into impact with the surface throwing him into an uncontrollable spin while sliding, rings of dust.
It was only when he came to a stop when he noticed that there were hordes around him. Ninja closing in on him from the left and right. The first sliced at him with a kunai, causing Kōtaro to swiftly evade, swaying under the blade, grabbing the man by his shoulder and slamming him face first into the ground.
The ninja bounced upward--
Kōtaro cocked back his leg--
With a powerful punt, he send the weak ninja hurtling forward into the approaching ninja. "You guys are like cockroaches~!" Kōtaro moaned, even with the diversion, they closed in on him quickly, he couldn't handle this many ninja, it would be impossible to pummel them all. He bent his legs at the knee, pushing off the ground, taking high to the sky. "Oryaaaa!!" With a strong downward kick, his leg was sent crashing through the surface, causing the roof to collapse under his pursuers.
"Heh...to think that one kid would cause so much trouble..." Nanimoto was seated on a higher building, Kōtaro turned his head, glaring straight at him. His legs snapped upward, once they collided with his body, they sent him into an uncontrollable backflip, recycling the momentum gained, he stopped flipping in mid-air, hurling a leg in Nanimoto's direction.
"Raaagh--!! You ruined my takoyaki!!"
"You ruined my shades!!" Nanimoto cried in return, evading to the left of the kick which crashed diagonally through the rooftop's edge. "Raiton--!! Kurogumo!!"Nanimoto inhaled a breath, blowing a stream of smoky substance that quickly formed into a cloud. Inside the thick gray cloud coursed potent lightning, crackling and popping.

He had seen the once fine building that stood at the heart of the village. On top of it a fierce battle raged between presumably the leader of the attackers and a strange shinobi who had the ability to stretch his own limbs. He needed to take a tactical position so that he could effectively strike the man down. Using Shunshin no jutsu, he appeared on the rooftop of an adjacent building. He gathered Ration chakra and completed a familliar set of handseals. Electrons began to gather in the air and a moment later lightning bolts aimed at the heads of the attackers were hurled from the sky. Yellow streaks fell from the heavens and many of the shinobi that Kotaro, could not deal with at once. Engulfing them completely, the less skilled ninja fell limp to the ground steaming from burnt skin and the nerves on their body paralyzed.
Feeling the presence of chakra Nanimoto realized that a ninja was attempting to attack his flank. As with most lightning storms he felt the air around the air change and as a result of this he was ready. When the bolts dropped he, stepped sideways allowing it to hit the building. Nanimoto smirked as he quickly evaded both attacks, "This next one's for my shades!"

Clouds whizzed across the sky, approaching Kashoku at high speeds, Kumo reinforcements from the Air Squadron were arriving. Nanimoto looked up before a puff of smoke settled next to him, a ninja with another unconscious man upon his back. Kōtaro plummeted from high above, the ruckus of lightning bolts and explosions enveloped the surroundings, crushing and destroying the rooftops. It was by a hair that he avoided Nanimoto's attack when a chunk of rubble threw him from the cloud's course.
"We've acquired the parcel." The man spoke in a hushed tone, standing straight, looking over at Nanimoto who still seemed more annoyed with his presence. "Dammit, Kakku~! Gimme two more minutes~!!" Nanimoto moaned, the bald Kakku grimaced, almost sad to call this man his superior. "Gunjin-sama wants us to pull out as quickly as possible, Nanimoto-dono." Kakku's speech patterns were that of a subordinate robot, he didn't seem to have much personality at all. Nanimoto looked up at Gendo, grinding his teeth.
"You go on ahead...I'll be right behind you." Nanimoto said with a smirk, the scorching winds that swept upwards picked up his unruly blue hair, whisking it around. Nanimoto noticed the clouds approaching upon the distance, groaning, wiping his nose. "We have a good five minutes to have fun...so, let's make the most of it."
Kakku sneered over at Nanimoto, fading in a wisp of smoke, escaping as the remaining mass of ninja quickly followed after Kakku who appeared in the distance, escaping with the young boy on his back. Kōtaro groaned, standing from the half destroyed rooftop he landed upon, glaring up at Nanimoto.
"Bitch...!!"

Another man joined the fray, this one a balder looking man who seemed less unstable than Nanimoto. It had seemed that Gendōs stunt gained a little bit of attention, this was good if anything if he could get put on himself then the rest of the village could be safe and it wasn't like Gendō was worried...he had gotten himself out of tougher situations than this. But he couldn't be dumb, this guy obviously had some skill so to fight like a moron would definately get himself killed.
He had a few trumps in his sleeve, the best one of course being his Aoigan but he couldn't show that now it'd give him away. He needed to get him off balance, that's how he'd win but that was far easier than it sounded. Seeing the look of almost enjoyment in Nanimoto's face delighted Gendō. His instinct told him that this would be a pretty good fight.
The old saying that lightning never striking the same place twice did not apply for Raiton jutsu, in fact lighting usually struck the same place twice and this would be no exception. Nanimoto could notice the same handseals and if he did he would know what was coming. Without warning bolts of lighting were hurled from the sky, all of them converging on Nanimoto's position.
He would need to move or he would be electrocuted, and it was now his play. |

"N...no! Don't!!" A regrouping Kumo ninja called out to Gendo as he finished the Jutsu, but it was too late. Nanimoto himself was focused on Gendo, clapping his hands together, he looked up at the sky with a handseal held. The Kumo ANBU gasped as the streaks of yellow dove straight at Nanimoto, hitting him straight on. The resulting explosion sent a backlash across the rooftop, small chunks of rubble rolling across it. Even over the roaring flames, the chirping of what seemed to be chirping birds could be heard within th smoke, a powerful glow emanating from the heart of the explosion.
"Raishoku no Jutsu!!"
Meanwhile, Kōtaro repositioned himself, preparing himself to attack after the smoke cleared, holding a large rock within his teeth. But he was startled stiff at what he saw in the heart of the cloud, the gray cloud thinned, revealing a golden ball, small sparks of electricity exploding around him, causing a high pitched squeal on top of high pitched squeal. "You...you should never attack Nanimoto head on!" The ANBU exclaimed, "Especially with elemental attacks...!! Haven't you heard of--"
"Uraomote no Nanimoto?!"
Nanimoto looked straight up Gendo, he had the appearance of a beast. Like he himself was a Bijū, large white eyes, he was hunched over, bolts of yellow hung from his lips. "I heard attacking with lightning is the worst possible thing to do when encountering him..." Which would explain why no ne had engaged Nanimoto until Kōtaro ran in and started throwing bows. The Kumo-nin were reserving him for last. Wow, Gendo and Kōtaro pretty much ruined everything.
The beast's mane began to slowly sink into Nanimoto, revealing the young criminal behind the sheet of bright yellow. He chewed on the bolts of lightning as if they were pieces of jerky. Even though he no longer looked like a demon that descended from the clouds, he still had a glow about him. Kōtaro bit down on the piece of cement in his mouth, eating it as Nanimoto ate the lightning. Wasting no time, he jounced forth, crashing into the ground only centimeters off to the side of Nanimoto, throwing a flurry of fists in Nanimoto's direction.
Even with the impressive speed of the punches, Nanimoto was like a shifting bolt of lightning, his body lost his shape with every movement. "Wh...what the hell?!" Kōtaro groaned, his quickening flurry of punches were being avoided so easily, and Nanimoto's body was becoming so formless.

..."Shit" rang across the mind of the Tokubetsu Jōnin. This wasn't good and he had completely played into the hands of Nanimoto. Regardless of the man's newly formed advantage. Also, lightning attacks were the only ninjutsu that Gendō had taken time to learn. Besides that he had medical ninjutsu, and even his best one of those were Raiton based. He was running out of options, Jadoku wouldn't work.
It looks like the direct approach would be what was neccessary, in this state Gendō was sure that Nanimoto's muscles and ligaments could still be cut, so Chakra no Mesu would be his best option. Gendō ran forward, attempting to help out the stranger who had been taking the brunt of Nanimoto's attacks.
At the back of the group. the few ANBU that had warned Gendō had been ready to intercept Nanimoto with the plan they had made they were sure they could take him. "Gendō get out of th-" One man spoke before he began to gurgle and regurgitate in horrific noises.
Then all at once the entire squad began doing the same, as small pools of dust began to take the form of a man in front of the newly made corpses. He stood with a devilish grin and his hands fit comfortably into his pockets. Although his eyes revealed that something was annoying him at the current moment.
"Nanimoto, we don't have time to fuck around, either kill these chumps or lets go." Senju spoke waiting for a reply.

The more that Kōtaro posted, the faster his pace picked up, the quicker Nanimoto weaved back and forth. It seemed like the faster he moved, the more he seemed like he was turning into a bolt of lightning. He could feel Gendo approaching, and in a moment, he did become a bolt of electricity, weaving under both of them, jouncing through Kōtaro's legs as he thinned out, instantaneously appearing behind him.
This sent Kōtaro and Gendo on a collision course, Kōtaro grunted as he noticed the person before him wasn't Nanimoto, pulling his upcoming punch and veering off to the side of his strange ally. "Tch...it's like trying to catch one small eel in a large lake." Kōtaro grumbled, staring at his target, who was performing handseals, preparing for a Jutsu. It was the sudden murder of the ANBU followed by the unknown presence of an ally that set up for a diversion Kōtaro would exploit. Nanimoto turned his head slightly to swear at his ally for interrupting, but a warm wind washed over him--
His eyes widened--
He looked downward--
He and Kōtaro were nose and nose--
The grin on Kōtaro's face grew wide--
"Ora--!!" Kōtaro roared--
The sound of his fist driving into the side of Nanimoto's rib. The blow caused sparks of his electrified body to spray from under Kōtaro's knuckle. It was his full power, it was like a piston driving a boulder into his kidney. With that hit, Nanimoto's body felt numb, going limp a bit before he could regain his composure. Kōtaro wasn't done yet, like a train, he followed the kidney blow with an onslaught of blows. One after the next, hook after hook, he knocked Nanimoto back and forth, throwing his body into every blow at high speeds, bounding his face mercilessly. Each punch caused his face to form around Kōtaro's fist, turning into formless yellow lightning.
"Oryaaaaa--!!" With that roar that shook it's surroundings, he pushed forward, throwing his whole body into the next fist. Nanimoto was sent through the rooftop and into the building below. Hopping back a few steps, he looked around at the corpses lying around, the smoke billowing into the sky and groaning before he noticed the man made of dust. Before he could say anything, lightning bolts ripped through the roof from below. Kōtaro took evasive maneuvers, his whole right side being engulfed in a bolt, scorching him and sending him plummeting into the dark building below.
Nanimoto rose from the corridors below, riding a cloud, his brows furrowed angrily. He looked into the distance, the cloud riders were closing in, streaking overhead. "Let's go!" Nanimoto called to the man, grumbling a swear under his breath. "I'll kill you two some other time!" In an instant, his cloud took off in a blur of motion.
