Heart of Steel *ALL OTHER RPS CONCERNING KEITEKI ARE CONSIDERED OR ARE OVER*

[Uchiha Kumori]

Keiteki was thinking about the surge he felt when he was training amongst his own self. He felt some kind of connection with the earth, but most ninja only possessed one or two elements. However, many of the stronger ninja have bypassed this, including Mikoto Drakun. Fire, Lightning, and Water, he was some kind of powerful. However Keiteki could compete with the immense power Mikoto weilded was uncomparable to Keitkei, and even Yoshimo. He may still be alive, dragons are known to live for hundreds of years, compared to humans, who last not much more for about 80 years before dieing. Drakun Clan members, because htye contain the blood of dragons, can also stretch farther than a human, with the current elder, Sanosuke, 115 years old, he has a greater knowledge of the past than any of us. Keiteki, along with all members of the clan, looked up to Mikoto, and strove to dash the boundaries that he had broke, and go beyond the reaches of power known to humans. Of course, none of them suceeded, save for Mikoto.

But, the earth around him. He felt as if, even though Fire and Wind were on his side, he felt as if he had some kind of connection with the earth around him, faint as it is. Earlier today, Keitkei chose to buy many pieces of chakra sensitive flaps of paper. Channeling your chakra threw them would determine the element you contained. He knew that if it went on fire, or wind, he would know he was just going crazy. He took the first slit of paper, and began channeling chakra through it, and saw the paper instantly and ferociously combust. He sighed, and looked at all of the paper that he had. About one hundred of them. He decided to simply use them all today. He took another piece of paper, and he channeled his chakra through it, and all it did was slice into two.

"Hmmph. Maybe it's just...I don't know. There has to be some connection." Keitkei reassured himself, and continued using the papers, only getting the same results...

[Guest]

Lelia was crossing the grounds of training to go find a quiet spot to practice. The ground were smoother today, less smudgy as her boots treaded softly across. Her mind was dazed off into thinking of 'How come no other element works for me?' and 'Lightnings a strong force, however, what can I do to push it?' and 'Lightning, water...How far can I push my lightning jutsu futher using streams?' Simple random thoughts like those.

Comeing around a couple trees, she noticed a higher ranked ninja with some strange paper he was using chakra to rip apart. It earned curiosity in the young kunnoichi. 'What a strange jutsu...' she thought. 'If any type of jutsu. Looks like a game or something.'

Lelia came up casually, "Excuse me," she asked politly. Tipping her head to the side with her long hair flowing over her shoulder. "But, what is that your doing?"

OOC: Sorry took so long, slow computer.

[Uchiha Kumori]

Keiteki was becoming extremely frustrated. He was down to about 75 papers now, using all the others up on this antic of his. Keitkei was thinking to himself, what was the point of all this? He couldn't really have Doton, could he? Still, he found reassurance in Mikoto Drakun, the man who had gave rise to the Drakun Clan itself. He couldn't give up on himself. Not if he was get stronger, and giving up was by no means the way to go by. Keitkei took yet again one more piece of the paper, and began channeling his chakra through it, concentrating hard to make sure that he channeled it correctly. He seemed to care for nothing but to see what the result was of his antics. He could feel chakra gushing throguh the paper, trying to stablizie it, waiting for the result of the paper, but then, he heard somebody talk to him, and he was scared out of his wits, and the paper fell apart in his hands.

"What? Who is it? Oh, you?" Keiteki turned around to see the girl that he remembered seeing when he sparred with Yoshimo. The girl didn't really seem to be anything special in his eyes, yet anyway. He could never be sure these days. Being the kind spirit he was, he smiled, and looked down at the girl.

"Oh, hello. What are you doing out here in the woods?" Keiteki asked the girl. Suddenly he noticed the paper in his hands hand had shredded apart.. Had he did it himself? He discounted the theory, and then reached into the bag filled with the papers.

[Guest]

Lelia stepped back with his first reaction. "Forgive me, I hadn't meant to startle." she apologized. Pulling stray hair behind her ears as she looked up at the him with silvery-brown eyes. She noticed questions flitting emotions across his face, nevertheless, she didn't bother about it.

Hearing his second reaction, she easily replied, "Oh, I was just looking for a quiet spot to train." she watched him casually grab another paper. "And, actually wondering what you were doing with that paper, if I may." She twined her fingers behind her back. Her skirt rustling as a soft wind warmly blew passed them.

[Uchiha Kumori]

Keiteki had grabbed out one of the many pieces of paper in his bag, and handed it to the young lady, and put it in her hands. "It is a paper made out of a tree grown entirely from chakra. Try channeling your chakra through it and see what happens." Keitkei told her. He then looked at the crumbled up piece of paper. It didn't look like it had been ripped by his knifes, rather it looked as if it had exploded upon itself, something Keitkei would not be able to do with his hands alone. He had finally realized what had happened. Keitkei had a third element, Doton.

OOC: Sorry it's so short ^^

[Guest]

She tipped her head as she looked at the paper in her hand with inquisitiveness. Lelia shrugged, flitting her wrist to get her part-sleeves off her wrists. She focused Chakra to run through her hands to the paper. "Alright," she agreed easily. Curiosity flowing through her veins like blood itself. She stepped her feet together, boots crunching a leaf below. Stubborn locks of her bangs flowing into her face as she curiosly watched the paper. Wondering what it was suppose to be doing for a long moment untill....

Unanticipatedly, the paper began to crumble in her fingers. Her lips pursed as her eyes widened slightly in surprise. "Ohm..." she looked down at the peices flitting to the earth. "Okay then..." Lelia had no clue what to make of it at the moment as she glanced down, then back up at the jounin before her. An easy to guess question on her face.

[Uchiha Kumori]

Keiteki turned around to see the young lady, the paper that was given to her hand crumbled into a ball, and Keiteki saw what it obviously meant. This little girl had contained the element of lightning. Keitkei saw the rest of it crumble, before it was completely crumbled before both of their eyes, and Keitkei smiled at the girl. "Well, it looks like you retain the element of lightning. Good for you." Keitkei said nicely, and then looked at his own paper, which he allowed to fall to the ground, in pieces. Keitkei couldn't believe it. He really did have three elements, just like Mikoto Drakun. Still, he suddenly realized something. When he felt elemental connections with his natrual element, his connection to Doton was rather weak. Keiteki then decided to try and perform a simple, Doton based jutsu. He would attempt to use Mud Overturn. Keitkei then began forming handsigns. Then, he released, and yelled out.

"Doro Gaeshi!" Keitkei yelled out, expecting a mound of rock to rise that would prove as a defense during a battle. However, he was dissappointed only to see a few pebbles form in front of him. It would be useful to stop a few bugs from going in a straight path, and thta was about it.

"Dammit." Keitkei cursed to himself, and thought to himself. Obviously, he did not have enough afilliation with Doton to utilize it as a jutsu. What use did he have for an element that he couldn't even use the simplest of jutsu with? Then, he realized something. Why not use all three of his elements in conjunction? He didn't know what could happen, if anything would happen, but he figured why not give it a try? Keiteki then sat on the ground, and began breathing in, and out, in and out, until he felt refreshed, and began rubbing his hands at the same time, trying to prep himself for the rigors of utilizing both elements simultaneously. Keiteki then rose up high, and attempted to use all his elements at the same time, but an explosion boomed in front of him, which sent him flying into a bush...

[Guest]

Lelia watched in slight wonder as he had performed an earth jutsu. However, only pebbles were there. Noticing the paper every now and then he looked at, it was crumpled. Almost like a rock. Thinking about it, 'if he made pebbles move, and usually higher ranks posses two jutsu,does that mean he posseses three?'

Abruptly, pressure became near the jounin. Instinctly, she stepped back. Somthing was to happen, or else what was the point of the meditation stance?

When the burst exploded, she was sent backwards towards a tree. Slamming the hilt of her katana into the trunk, she avoided being too roughed up. Landing on her knees and back to her feet quickly. She looked up to notice that he had been tossed into a bush. Briskly, she caught up to him. "Are you alright?" she asked.

[Uchiha Kumori]

Keiteki, because the explosion was so close to him, he had almost lost consciousness whne he was blown away by the fire and force of the explosion. Thankfully, he was all in one piece. Keiteki then heard the girl's voice, aksing if he was alright, and he tried to clamber up and out of the bush, and pulled his body out, and then, using Fuuton Chakra, gave himself the push, and he made his way out of the bush, looking around, he saw the girl, a little roughed up, and looked with concern. He was now angry with himself somehwta, but saw that she was still okay, and tried to smile, but his face was a little burned. Drakun Clan member,s especially younglings, were known to burn themselves, but thankfully, they were also in possession of many ointments that would be able to heal the burn, so he seemed fine, and he looked at the girl.

"Yes I am fine, but what about you? Are you okay?" Keitkei asked with a smile. Then, something caught his eye. As the smoke cleared from the blast, he looked at the crater, and saw something shining on the inside, and then walked over to it, and picked up something inside of the crater. "A piece of metal?" Keitkei asked himself, and began walking away from the crater.

"Did...did I make this?" Keitkei asked, but he did not really seem to be talking to anybody, not even himself. Like he was questioning the heavens above him, and hoped for osme sign to give him the answer, like in a legend. Keitkei then looked at the metal, notcing it wasn't hot, but it was warm to the touch, like it was fresh from a blacksmith. It wasn't very big, but it was still metal. Keitkei then put the metal on the ground, and looked around. He then looked at his hands, and grinned. Keiteki, caught up in gluttony, began the simultaneous use of all three of the elements once again, this time, trying to make himself form a weapon. This time, howeve,r there was no explosion. Just a cloud of steam surrounding a small area on the ground, and there was a nice, little shuriken.

[Guest]

"I'm fine," Lelia replied as she stepped out of the way so he could get to the crater. Curiously, she looked at it too. In her rush over, she hadn't noticed it. But, as he held a peice of metal and questioned nobody really, she was surprised. 'Did he?' the young kunnoichi questioned herself mentally.

As he attempted again that triple combined jutsu, the pressure again showed. Lelia stepped back and instinctly touched the hilt of her katana. Ready for the explosion this time.

WHen smoke arised only, she let the tension ceise. "A shurrikan?" she mumbled. Then spoke up, "You created metal out of chakra elements! Specatacular!" her smile curled warmly as Lelia looked back up to him. Clapping her hands together once together.

[Uchiha Kumori]

"No. I did not in essence, create metal out of thin air. What happened, was that there were already trace elements of metal in the earth as it was, but when I used Fire and Wind, along with my own chakra and will, the chemical reactions resulted in metal. Rather than me creating metal, I changed earth to metal...somehow." Keitkei explained. That's what had happened. But, however he did it, he had really done it. He had made the element of Kizuuton, or Metal. Keiteki was completely blown away by what he had done, and was cosnumed in joy. He looked pu into the sky, and thought about Mikoto Drakun. I'm coming closer. Keiteki then looked at the girl. He saw her paper. He smiled, and took the crumbled up paper that she had, and looked to the side.

"You should also be happy with yourself. Lightning is a formidable element, able to take on many shapes and forms. You should be proud in wielding it. How about we practice together?" Keiteki offered.

Keiteki then began thinking about how he would make something of this. The handsigns gave the chakra form and allowed them to create jutsu, so that's what he would do. Keiteki then did it again, only this time, he made a couple of kunai, and he threw three of them at the tree. There was one left. Keitkei then began thinking about all of the possibilities. Then, feeling mischeivous, he did it yet again, only this time, a bush of thorns psrang out of the ground, spreading a five foot diameter. Then, it contracted into a small little ball. Keitkei was puzzled as to what had just happened. He then took the ball, and thre it into the air, and then, the thorns slammed into the ground, and Keitkei laughed. He couldn't wait until Yoshimo came back and saw this.

Keiteki didn't know why, but he felt cold. He figured it was just the cold hard metal...

[Guest]

Lelia listened in politly as he spoke to her about the metal not coming out of thin air. She smiled brightly at how dumb she must have looked for making it seem that way in her words. Rolling a shrug after being told to be proud of what she weilded. "Raiton's alright." she wasn't one to take too much pride in herself, slightly insecure.

"Ohm, sure." she agreed easily to the training offer. "I don't have the chance to train with many people, so I'd adore to." Lellia's index finger tapped her bottome lip thoughtfully. "However, how would you wish to?" There were many, many different ways to train. She had her usual alone training, she'd about trained with her dear friend Munashii once and ended in battle with a high rank ninja. But that was about all the ways she knew how.

As she spoke she tied her hair back in a black hair band from her weapons pouch on her left thigh. Her hair was being annoying enough, training with him, she didn't need it in the way.

Abruptly, a wind rushed past. So hard it blew past, Lelia had to close her eyes. Today was a warm day, however it suddenly was frozen cold. Lelia narrowed her eyes. A presence was nearby. And not the usual presence. He/she wasn't of the village and had a bad intent.

Spinning around to face, her thumb clicked her katana out just a centimeter. Hovering, her hand edged carefully and ready. Lelia didn't like this, not one bit.

[Uchiha Kumori]

OOC: Lelia, an NPC is entering the area. He is an enemy, and Keitkei is going to fight. If you want to fight, I can make him summon something for you to fight.

"Heh...heh, Keitkei is that you? The man who helped to bring down the Coldblood?" There was an ominous voice in the trees, and Keiteki turned around to look and see a face he had not seen since those years ago, when he helped attack the Coldblood terrorists. When Keiteki was just a Chuunin, he was sent on a misison, along with other Shinobi, to attack and vanquish a branch of the Drakun Clan, one that had severed all bonds with the Drakun more than a hundred years ago, around Kumo's formation. Keiteki's past flashed before his eyes, and his anger surfaced, as the former leader of the Coldblood, Retsu, walked out of the dark undergrowth, something terribly wrong with him. The right side of his body, rather than skin, was covered in dark purple scales, and he had the eyes of a dragon, too, with the slit pupils. He had a horn protruding from the left bottom of his cheek downward, and even had a tail now. Retsu's wings were twice the size of Keiteki's, which were currently folded away, and he looked with great despair at Retsu, who dishonored his clan to the extreme. Retsu stood there, waiting for a response.

"You...You again...I'll make you pay!" Keiteki then performed his Kizuuton, and flung several Shuriken and Kunai at Retsu, but Retsu simply caught the first kunai, and blocked al lthe other projectiles with it, and as Keiteki rushed towards Retsu, Retsu leanded down and kicked upward, uplifting Keiteki over Retsu and onto the ground, and he was knocked down by Retsu.

"Typical Drakun clan tactics. Your bravery is just another way of saying ignorance, my friend. Now, I'm going to make sure the sins of the fathers are paid by the son." Retsu laughed, and cut himself with a shuriken, and then threw it at Keiteki's hand. Keitkei yelled in pain and agony, crushing his teeth as blood eeped from his palm, he looked at Retsu, and stood up, with eyes of hate staring at Retsu's cold, emotionless face.

"Lelia! Run!" Keiteki yelled, and Retsu jumped into the air...

[Guest]

Lelia flickered throug hand signs just as Keiteki was lifted into the air. A ball of chakra formed in raiton briskly. Raikyuu no jutsu. She through it at the newcame enemy and it sped fast towards him. She didn't know if Keiteki's call of her to run was an order, if it was she was defying it anyways. Lelia was never one to back down.

Just as quickly, Lelia flickered through another set of hand signs. Unsheithing her blade as Raiton chakra blazed through it in defence. She was by Keiteki's side in an instant. Guarded and ready for two different blade strikes to be used at any instant she thought neccesary. Her eyes glued in focused narrow as another gust of wind broke through to them. Sweeping across the lands and blowing her skirt and tied back hair about.

[Uchiha Kumori]

Retsu saw the ball of lightning tossed at him first, and jumped up into the air, higher than Keiteki without going airborne, and easily dodged the ball of lightning, which crashed into a tree, and exploded, setting fire to a small area as the remnant of the attack, and Retsu then began flapping his large wings, each wing flap sending a gust of wind downwards, and he began forming handsigns extremely quick, and in just a few seconds, he held his hands forwards, and in a puff of smoke, two dragons had appeared, flying in front of him. One of them was about seven feet tall, and was bipedal, and had a fiery breath, along with two swords. To the sides of it was a giant, three headed tyrant, dark purple, an extremely long body, with huge legs and arms, and a tail with a mace at the end. Keiteki looked up from the ground to see the might of the Coldblood staring at it's prey.

"Now the Drakun Clan will lose one more man on the lines!' Retsu shouted, he jumped onto the middle head of the hydra, and the huge dragon slammed it's entire body to the ground in an attempt to crush Lelia and Keitkei with it's weight and might. Keitkei instantly reacted, and ripped off his shirt immediately, extending his wings, he made a grab to get Lelia, and once he could get her, he'd zip away with his wings to avoid a crushing death. Retsu stared down upon the two, with a wicked look in his eyes. Then, the dragon made impact, crushing the ground and blasting out shockwaves in the air and the ground, with waves literally forming from the ground, extending outwards. Keiteki didn't feel pain right no,w he could only hope that meant he had got out of the attack ,and had not been squashed by the huge beast.

[Guest]

Lelia, swooped up and in the air, something that was different and a little bit frightening, looked down at the huge beasts now slamming the ground to peices. Her mind flustered on what to do. Comeing up with nothing, she looked up at her savior. "Thankyou, ohm, any idea on what to do now?" she wondered calmly as her silvery-brown eyes looked down for any weaknesses she could target upon the beasts or newcame enemy. Finding none she could spot for the moment.

OOC: Sorry so short, couldnt think of anymore to put.

[Uchiha Kumori]

Keiteki, thankfully, escaped death, and managed to save Lelia from the monstrous slam that the huge Hydra had managed to create. However, suddenly, the second dragon, the smaller one, had flown after us, and had already performed the handsigns needed to perfomr a deadly jutsu, and shot an explosive torpedo of fire, and Keitkei immediately zoomed downwards, the air rushng against both Keiteki and Lelia as they sped downwards, the giant dragon followed them, and Keiteki saw that they were destined ot hit the ground. Keiteki continued going towards the ground, as the speed of sound echoed through his ears, just about as they were to hit the ground, Keiteki went upwards, but the dragon wasn't going to let that stop, and easily kept on with them, and Keitkei landed, letting Lelia down. He saw that Retsu and his dragon were preparing for the next attempt on Keiteki's life, and he looked gravely at Lelia.

"Lelia, if you must fight, fight this one right here. Retsu is too strong for you. I'm the only one who can compete with him." Keiteki then ran away from Lelia, towards Retsu, and at the time, was performing handsigns as he ran, and he jumped into the air at speeds faster than most other Jounin. Keitkei then activated Kuchiyose, and in the sky was a giant serpent like the Hydra, only this one had one head, and was red and blue, and had six wings, opposed to the monster's three heads. Keiteki looked towards Retsu and Retsu exchanged stares with Keiteki, as both serpents also looked at one another, waiting for their chance to taste blood from the other side. Retsu then smiled, and the Hydra raised it's heads, and then he began forming handsigns, and then finished, and then looked at Keiteki.

"You know...you have no chance!" Retsu yelled.

Both dragons flew at the other at high speed, and crahsed into one another, and they slammed into the ground as a clump, clawing at the other, and tryign to breathe fire upon the other. Keitkei then began running towards Retsu, who was also dashing towards Keiteki and they met in Taijutsu combat, with Retsu starting oon one foot, and attempting to punch Keiteki, but rather, he jumped over Keiteki, and pulled out a black dagger with hte intention of beheading him. Keiteki leaned down, and move forward, and then they slammed into one another, with their hands meeting in a deadlock, attempting to shove the other down. Retsu's dark stare angered Keiteki, who was trying to beat Retsu. Keiteki was, at the moment, however, being overpowered. Suddenly, Keiteki's wyvern came down to the ground with his sword, and slammed down into the ground, and Retsu jumped away, as did Keiteki. The two looked at one another, and then the two dragons flew apart, and both contenders returned to their heads, and then, Retsu executed the jutsu, and a humongous version of Enkou Hashira burst upward, attempting to kill Keiteki, but in an attempt to halt the attack, Keiteki formed his own handsigns, and blew shot his own Zukokku at the attack only long enough so that they could fly upwards enough.

Meanwhile, the dragon summon then began performing handsigns itself, with a charge toward Lelia, only now, the dragon released a copy of itself, only it was entirely made out of fire, and it attempted to grab Lelia. Then, the dragon flew into the air, and began a shower of handsigns, which only led to a shower of Flame Torpedos straight towards Lelia. A torpedo was released every two seconds with an explosion. Keitkei could only hope Lelia had what it taked to avoid the deadly combo set by the monster.

[Guest]

Lelia nodded and faced her opponent. Just as it begun hand sighns, she flickered through her own. As the fire dragon attempted grabbing at her, she clapped her hands hard together. Winds and squealling electricity at it. As the current spread and targeted, she jumped backwards a couple handless back flips fluently. Avoiding most of the torpedos as she dodged as fast as she could away in a zigzag formation. Quickly, she slipped through hand signs, but just as she did, the rush of the explosions impeled on her. Tossing her backwards, she through out her katana to slam into a tree. Briskly, the hilt hit just in time before she was knocked out. The bark, though, scraped up her left arm a bit. And tore the back of her red vest. She quickly got to her feet with pushing off from the ground with her hands, finishing off her handsigns as suddenly, a popping sound emitted.

Lelia popped in and out of random places heading closer and closer to her target.Rai Shunshin no Jutsu. Going from tree branch to tree branch before finally popping in the skies towards the dragon with a fired up Raiton - Unagishotto. Quickly she dispelled the bolt of lighting from her arm and it sped towards the target.

As she fell towards the earth, she aimed a hard kick fast at the head of her opponent. Slamming an explosive tag on a kunai as she did so. Throwing it at the moment she passed him if she got him hard or missed dreadfully. Exploding it when she was far enough away. Quickly reaching out a slender hand to catch herself with a hard jerk on a branch that broke and tumbled her to the ground. She landed crouched and was hit on the back with a long scratch through her shirt. It wasn't too serious, but enough to catch attention as she looked up to face her opponent again and see the results.

[Uchiha Kumori]

In reality, the dragon was not a beast. It was just as Shinobi as any other human. In reality, both creatures were clones. The one htta looked real was simply a regular bunshin. The real dragon was high up in the sky, using a jutsu that cloaked the user in clouds, the dragon saw as the lightning bolt slammed into the fire dragon, who exploded, with the fire dragon gone, the clone managed to dodge the kick, as it was the only way to hide the real dragon's presence. However, the kunai/explosive tag bomb took out the clone in a cloud of forc,e fire, and smoke, and managed to hide the clone that dissappeared into think air, literally. With both dragons taken out, it would probably give the opponent a feeling of satisfaction having defeated both dragons, but then, the dragon saw where his opponent was hiding, and formed handsigns underground, and suddenly, the dragon popped out of ground, grinning at it's opponent, it began making handsigns again, but this time, a giant, monstrous statue was formed in front of the dragon, with a monstrous face.

"Heh...Heh heh." The dragon mumbled to itself as the giant bulldozer statue's eyes lit up, and the dragon flew behind it, and punched the statue. Suddenly, the giant statue, with is spiked wheels, was sent straight toward his opponent at a very high speed, one that, in Lelia's vulnerable state, would fidn it hard to dodge. The dragon then flew up into the air, and began forming more handisngs, and shot a few more flame torpedoes at the forest around the battlefield, igniting the trees and starting a combustion of the forest around, one that the dragon hoped would end this battle.

__________

Retsu and his Hydra then charged at Keiteki and his own dragon at extreme speeds, and Keiteki's dragon slammed into the Hydra, and they began flying across the sky, and the Ninjutsu war had begun. Hydra began launching flying meteors from it's mouth, completely ignited, while Keiteki's own dragon was attempting to combat with it's own blasts of blue fire, mixed with Taijutsu, it was a battle of titans, similar in proportions to the giant battle between the sannin that took place almost 30 years previously. Keiteki then took it upon himself to try and board the Hydra, and looked at his own dragon, Zydrakei, began talking to Keiteki. His voice sounded serious and grave, more so than usual, as it was a long time since Keitkei had to draw out Zydrakei for a battle.

"Keiteki, my opponent is a dark dragon. This must be the Coldblood, is it not?" Zydrakei asked gravely, dodging a bite from one of Zydrakei's head and slamming the Hydra, but htne the Hydra's two other heads bit onto Zydrakei, and Hydra got a grip on the huge dragon, in which Retsu jumped off of Hydra and ran towards Keitkei while performing handsigns, and a sphere of dark power with bat like wings appeared in fornt of Retsu, and it float into the air, doing nothing. Then, it immediately flew towards Keitkei at an impossible speed, and Keiteki attempted to dodge it completely, but only came so far. Keiteki's left knee was struck, just a little bit, but wether or not it was little or not, it happened, and Keitkei felt a stinging pain through his knee, and gripped his teeth, and looked as the ball attempted to come down upon Keitkei, at which time he rolled backwards, and it slammed into Zydrakei, and he was banished ot the ground immediately, also now dealing with pain. Keitkei looked at the orb in the air. He saw it, and thoguht about his own Shiro Enkou Nenshou. Zydrakei then looked at Keiteki, and sighed.

"I don't know how much longer we can keep this up. Keitkei, we have to end this soon." Zydrakei told him.

With that, Keitkei began forming handsigns for his next jutsu, and Retsu directed his own sphere to try and crush the both of them...

[Guest]

Lelia frowned as she stood up fully. "Clone...great..." she thought to herself. Quickly, she flickered through handsigns, mid way though, she twisted around to face the real dragon. "Oh...snap..." she mumbled as she finished off and signs and backed up quickly. She liked it close counter, but not that close. Her face was grave with a swish of fear as the dragon smiled creepily and a giant statue emerged and begun towards her. She took her only possible slight escape, she took to the trees.

Dashing as fast as she could, she was still being chased by the monstrous thing. Her mind scrambled on what to do as the thing kept on her trail barely a yard away. If she kept this run up, she was definitly going to loose.

Suddenly, turning a bend, fire stopped her to weave herself a hairpin turn left back into the opening. The forest was on fire! And burning at a dangerous pace.

Something caught her mind, "Maybe I can't stop it at the moment, maybe I can slow it down! If not destroy..." Quickly, racing across the roughed up grounds, she pulled out ten kunai out of her ninteen left. Slapping four explosive tags to four and igniting all with raiton using Raijirai no jutsu. She was running close to low on chakra now, but this little jutsu had to make it.

As she dashed across and weaved left to avoid the burning trees, she through out alll the kunai. Right when they were touched, they would explode with electricty running up through the toucher. And right at the right moment, the exploding tags would emplode on her command. She glanced back a few times to wait for the right moment. When the moment came, they exploded in a fiery blast. Quickly she thought what to do next for if the thing wasn't at least stopped.

[Uchiha Kumori]

The titanic statue completely exploded, pieces of rock flying in all directions, once a killing machine, now shattered into pebbles. Howeve,r the dragon was not done yet, and he could tell the battle was ending in his favor. He began making more handsigns, and now, he made yet again another clone of fire, only this time, he also made a second clone out of fire, and he pulled out both of his swords, and flew into the air, and began swishing his swords in the air, and made a giant X out of fire, and put his sword's point at the center of the X, and twirled it, sending the giant projectile at Lelia. Both of these flame clones, along with the imminent fire from the X, combined with the fire already all around Lelai would leave no space for escape. The dragon grinned as he prepared to see his opponent die in flame,s but somethign happened.

Three spheres, each of them about a 3 foot diameter, flew in from nowhere, and two of them slammed into the dragon's fire clones, destroyign the both of them instantly, ending that threat. The third one slammed into the red X and dispersed it, negating all three attacks with ease, as Keiteki called back the spheres, one of Keitkei's own summonings burst out of the ground with it's giant sword, and made a fatal slash at the large dragon, cutting off one of it's arms in a single strike, and a kick to the back sent the dragon spiraling to the ground, down and nearly out, the dragon then looked at Keiteki, who was able to not only save Lelia, but also end his own problem at the moment...

"Roku Tama Seiryoku!" Keitkei shouted in the air. Very quickly, as his life depended on it, giant pools of chakra condensed to form the spheres that this jutsu used, with incredible power, and an S Rank, two of the spheres came from opposite angles just in time to slam against the giant dark ball, and all three of the spheres were blasted upwards, with Keitkei's spheres shattering, but Retsu's own had also dispersed. Keitkei now had half of the chakra he began this batte with, but he was in a dark situation. Zydrakei was tiring, along with he himself, while Retsu did not seem to be feelign the affects of constant battling and moving, and neither did his Hydra. "I need to end this battle before this battle ends me." Keitkei said to himself, and he thought up of a plan.

Zydrakei slipped out of the grip of the Hydra, and slid forward, and tossed the Hydra away, nearby the location of Lelia's battle, but thankfully, she wasn't close enough to endanger her. Zydrakei, however, was not finished yet. He then zoomed towards Hydra, who in turns, attacked as well, and they began to exchange attacks and strikes midair once again, only this time, Zydrakei was trying to make an all out offense against Hydra, and it was effective, and now, Retsu was on the defensive, trying to shrug off Keiteki's repeated strikes, but then, Hydra stopped one of Zydrakei's attacks, and bit Zydrakei on the neck. Zydrakei could not continue on anymore, and felt himself aching, asking for a rest, and Zydrakei gave Keitkei a sad look.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Keiteki." Zydrakei said to him sadly, his pain overcoming him. Keitkei looked at him, and then frowned.

"Go. You need to worry about yourself for now. Right now, I need to end this, any way I can." Keitkei told Zydrakei.

And with that, the huge dragon poofed away, and now, Keiteki stood alone against not only Retsu, but his enormous beast...

Lelia ducked as peices flew past her from the monstrous statue that once had engaged in chase after her. Now turning to face her opponent again, but just as two flame dragons and a giagantic flame X came hurtling towards her. She saw no escape and crouched with expectance of strike. Closing her eyes to embrace the upcoming pain.

However, nothing came but a whosh of wind and a pounding of a body landing. Quickly, the young kunnoichi spun to face where Keiteki stood. Noticing his dragon dispersing and looking very wounded. She inhaled deeply to regain complete focus, almsot death could knock the breath out of you.

Flickering through handsigns, she was going to let the next jutsu idol as she gripped the hilt of her blade and unsheithed it. Raiton chakra ran dangerously through it. Ready and drawn for battle. Lelia just took complete notice that this battle between the newcame enemy and him at the moment. She stood at her distance ready to lend hand if he wanted it. For now, she watched carefully...

The Wyvern had been doomed. The dragon itself wasl osing more blood than it could handle, and it was feeling fatigue, but before it left, it brought out a special treat, a third fire clone that hid in the same hole that the dragon had hid in when it went to strike Lelia after the first two clones were destroyed. The fire clone zipped upwards, and grabbed Wyvern from behind, igniting him, and it refused to let go. The fire clone was burning Wyvern alive. The dragon's eyes closed, and it's body fell to the ground, cold and dead. Fire was still gripping the land around Lelia, and Lelia had lived through, thankfully, but not without help, but now, the help needed help.

Up in the cloudy sky was the Wyvern, along with flaming clone who was still bear hugging him, burning him like a grill, but the fire clone soon dispersed, since it's controller had died, but Wyvern himself flung himself into the trees in a desperate attempt to extinguish the fire gripping him, and it worked, but he shortly lost consciousness, now sitting in the forest. He had little chance of survival now. But at the moment, the situation looked even more grim for Keitkei, who faced both of his powerful foes without help.

Keiteki then snapped out of it as he saw the Hydra slam onto the ground and begin a barrage of attacks against him, each one being dodged, and Keitkei immediately recognized the desperate state of the situation. However, he remembered Roku Tamas, all four of the ones he still had on him, the other two were shattered. He then began slamming them against Hydra as a means of competing with the huge dragon's great strength. However, Retsu soon jumped off of Hydra, and Keiteki had to now fight both foes at the same time ,and he knew that he couldn't do it for long, and if he didn't stop either of them now, they would box him in and finish him off, and Keiteki could not die at his hands. Not today. Keiteki then made an attempt to bring down his biggest threat, the Hydra. Then he could concentrate on Retsu.

Keiteki jumped on one of the spheres, using chakra to latch on to it, he began manuvering his way upwards, attempting to dodge the attacks that were being attempted by the Hydra. Retsu then saw what was about to happen, and then tried to scale the Hydra himself. Keiteki was now a considerable height above the Hydra, and then, as he was zipping away, he was performing handsigns, but the Hydra was following him, and Keitkei zipped across the land, and then, made a sharp U turn, and now, he was at a perfect angle to finish off the Hydra, and took that oppurtunity. Keiteki finished his strign of handseals, and built up a huge amount of chakra, but not for Roku Tama Seiryoku. Keitkei then held both of his hands together, and he screamed the name of his jutsu.

"SHIRO ENKOU NENSHOU" Keitkei shouted into the air. In an instant, a humongous, spreading blast of an intensely hot blast of a white fire what shot outwards, away from the village, and it was directly on the Hydra. The Hydra screamed in anguish as none of it's powers could save it now. The impossibly hot fire was felt all over the area, as it burnt down the Hydra, first skinning it, then burnign the rest of it, until eventually, there was nothingness. However, Keitkei knew the jutsu was coming to an end, and suddenly, Keiteki sensed somethign, and blasted behind him, upwards, just at the same moment the jutsu ended, and Retsu caught fire.

"AUGH!" Retsu screamed in pain as the fire ate away at both his body and his mental state. Immediately, however, Retsu pulled out two needles, each of them filled with soem kind of liquid, and stabbed both of them in Keiteki, one in his left elbow, and the other in his right shoulder. Keitkei gasped as Retsu looked gravely at Keiteki, and lost consciousness, being burnt alive, and now, he was burning dead. His corpse feel from the sky, and Keiteki, with two needles, burns, and bruises all over, was barely able to land on the ground, but hwne he did, he fell on himself, knocked out. It was time to rest, and soon, he heard the sound of voices before he passed out.

Ninja from the Cloud Village had arrived just in time to get Keiteki, and now they were looking for Lelia.

Lelia watched Keiteki fall from the skies, battered and bruised. She ran as far as she could with him in her eyes, till intense heat rang from trees in front of her and bid her no pass. Between flames, she saw him crash to the ground, unconscious. Nevertheless, ninja of their beloved village came to aid him. Some of them looked around.

'Probably looking for me...' she thought to herself as she quickly twisted around and around. Looking for an exit. She sorta found one...

The young kunnoichi raced over to the less burning area. She backed up and jumped through the low flames. The hem of her skirt was sent ablaze, but as she landed, she rolled and quickly put them out. Pushing herself up soarly, she ran towards Keiteki. Ignoring the other ninja.

"Is he alright? Is he alright?" she pestured worridly. Her face dashed with soot and dress tarnished and torn as she neared Keiteki.

Getting sort of an answer that he would be fine, Lelia left with them to the hospital.....
