Meeting the Chikakage

Zee stood, walking around the arena. It, like the rest of Chikagakure, was deep underground, in a large cave complex. It was an immense structure, just the place you would expect when giant caves were your building ground. He was walking through here, remembering when he had fought here, in grudge matches and in other things. He could remember them perfectly, everything that they did, what all their moves were, what missteps they took, even what pebble some of them tripped on. It was fun to remember back on these moments from way back when. Kaku sort of wished he had an opponent today, but there were no matches scheduled for today. In addition, none of his friends ever wanted to spar he. He was not sure why, but it did not really matter. Kaku was thinking he might just sit down for awhile and remember a good book. Maybe contemplate it awhile, and bounce back to memories every now and then.

The sound of a bird flapping its wings had been heard high up in the underground village, as if it was flying around with a blue tint around it. That just being the color of the village at the time. As The men of the crop brought down the food to sell the village they watched the bird fly in circle. Sure it was one strange thing about the bird in the air. It was in the underground village where most flying animals would hardly ever reach or try to reach due to its low altitude and its temperatures. Over the bird was, as it would seem, a tall figure looking over the pit of death. A bloody scream was heard once again at this time. Something that was very usual near the pit of death.

"There goes another one.....Damn idiots" The man said as he wore a type of kage clothing and the hat as well, as he turned his attention to the Underground Arena of Death. The place where only one was to come out alive. Not to long ago a boy was chosen for the position of the East guard of Chikagakure. This reason was because he was one boy that wouldn't stay down. Nate poked the side of his face twice as his vision increased to see that same boy. Was he looking for a fight, or was he just playing around of duty. Tapping his foot the bird began to move toward the Arena at fast speeds then as it began to get even closer the kage jumped off of the bird and landed on the ground about 10 meters from the boy, this was the point of time when the bird was headed straight for the boy only to hit the solid and explode on contact.

"I see, are you looking for a challenge today Orient Guard, or are you wandering around the village again. Maybe your just trying to check out the 6 great wonders of the village. Well your missing one....me." Nate said with a cocky smile on his face that quickly faded away within a second as he then moved his arms stuffing them in past the zipper. As a type of chewing noise was heard for a second. Opening his hands a total of 4 clay birds were held in it, their size was as big as a bottle cap, they had about six wings on each and were inanimate. "I think i should test your power first Orient. Hmmm dodge this and we shall begin." He said as he gave off a small smirk and then spun up into the air and began to flap his wings as if he was flying. giving off his two special handsigns in the distance of 1 meter from the boy. This was perfect but he didn't want to kill the boy just yet in this fight. "Now Orient! Katsu!!!" he yelled as an explosion had gone off. throwing out his hand as he made a handsign. the smae figure from before had grown larger and was able to be ridden on. As he thought flowed through his head toward his mouth. "This idiot better have dodged."

Kaku had been contemplating a book he had read awhile back, about a great king, and his not so great senators. Well, he had not truly been king. He was to be crowned the day his senators viciously stabbed him. It was a quite interesting story, none the less. The king was murdered by a large group, but would not give his soul over to death, at least, not until he noticed someone he trusted dearly among his murderers, someone who had a truly good heart. At that point, he muttered his surprise, and let himself die. However, the person with the good heart, had not been tainted by such an act. His mind had been tainted by the actions of another, someone who seeked power above all else. He was not truly to blame, he was simply led astray. This is why Kaku felt sorrow when the man died. It was a sad happening, something Kaku had wished had not happened. He would have rather the man been captured. But, when he thought of it, books, plays, poems by this author, they almost never ended well. Another of his works had ended with a mass murder/suicide.

Then, Kaku noticed the bird coming down. He had seen the likes of it around the village, and knew that from it dropped the bodies into the pit of death. For what reason he knew not, forsooth he did not truly care. It was a way of live for as long as he cared to remember. So long as he was never the victim to fall, so long as he knew not who was sentenced to such a fate, such a fate that would surely cause any man to scream out for someone to impale him through the heart, as did the man in the end. Then, the bird began to descend, right towards where Kaku sat. It did not stop, and, the actual look of the bird was odd. Something about it was off. It did not look natural. Something about it was not natural. This was supported by it existing this far underground, somewhere where it should not have been. Kaku quickly brought his hands together, realizing that, once someone jumped off the large bird, it was likely to keep coming at him. Once complete, he seemingly melted into the earthen stadium around him, becoming one with it. He was able to move through it like a fish through water. Kaku moved to the other side of where the person memorized, something he had easily memorized in the brief moment he saw him, without revealing himself. He quieted his breaths and heart, needing to be truly stealthy right now. He considered the Earth Style Mausoleum Dumpling, a technique he had only completed recently. However, he decided against it, in favor of a more manageable approach. Then he heard the words and the boom. He had not caught a good look at who had been riding the bird, he had been to focused on the bird itself. Even photographic memory did not get incredibly tiny details seem out of focus. But, he connected two and two, and realized that it had to be someone of importance. Little was he surprised when it was the Kage. Kaku was uncertain of what to do at this point. Then he remembered the other words, that this was a test of his skills. That meant that he was to fight back.

Kaku prepared, he once again silenced his breathing, lowered the power of his heart, made himself almost impossible to hear, a trait that help him ouch quite often. However, once he would be to cast his next jutsu, his position would change, The noise from it would be loud, to say the least. It was one of his loudest, actually, one that, while being incredibly useful, be used scantily. However, most of his other techniques would be fodder to someone who uses explosives. He rose out of the ground, like a fish in water, seven feet behind the man, making hand signs the whole time, as he plunged his hand to the ground once they were complete. The ground around the Kage would start to swirl inward and, should he not avoid it, swallow him whole, crushing every last bit of blood out of him. However, Kaku would stop before this point, if the need be for him to stop it at all.

Another explosion could be heard as the kage had been standing on the very top of the stands. As he looked at himself explode, the bird going along with it. Causing an explosion of about 4 meters one that would cause his enemy to jump back or be struck by the blast and be blown back. Now nodding to himself he jumped from the stands and headed for the boy. His destination was exactly 1 meter behind the boy and his goal was to catch him and chomp the boys neck. "Now wanna feel the power of your kage here you go!!" He would say as the area around them would turn purple and an explosion would cause for the top half of the stand to break off and fall into the Pit and darkness and destruction. The kage's eyes would change for a second from normal human eyes to snake eyes. Only his right eye being able to show this change, as the others metal would heat up just a bit in the process and cool down shortly after. Pushing off of the boy his hands, hitting the ground the white creature with 8 legs began to crawl closer to the boy. Moving his hand making the sign of the snake he yelled: "Katsu!!" as another explosion had been caused.

Kaku was utterly surprised by the explosion of what he had thought to be the Chikakage. It astounded him that there was time for him to have switched out a clone for himself. He was blown back by that explosion. He lost all footing on the ground, and could not flow back into the ground in time to avoid the blast. He was sent right into the Chikakage's arms, where he stood waiting, and was not able to regain his senses fast enough to avoid the bite. He collapsed after it was completed, clutching where he was bitten, pain spreading throughout his whole body. It was as much as he could do to slowly sink into the ground, falling down into the opening below the stadium that was used as a storage room. He was lucky. He fell onto a large pile of crates, as the world above him went boom. The next moment, he was out, having succumbed to the pain of the juinjutsu.
