Kyugan: Okay, little update before we continue. First: I will update Gaiden and Youko respectively, it's just inspiration is currently in the crapper. Second...yeah I got nothing, on with the show!
Kakashi: Slacker (Headshot with rocket launcher.)
Kyugan: (lowers rocket launcher with the symbol for infinity on the barrel) I don't wanna hear that from you.
Third round; Breaking the sound barrier!
Dosu leapt back and eyed his opponent carefully.
'Judging from his size alone, it's clear he's a close combat expert, meaning his long range skills are limited to his weapons.' He frowned, eyeing his weapon of choice carefully, 'Unfortunately, my Melody arm isn't as effective at long range either, meaning I need to get up close…'
He shivered briefly; recalling all too well the damage Domon did at the tower. 'And that's plain suicide.' The bandaged sound Nin muttered with a nod, 'Best course of action is to wear him down, his endurance can't be high with a body that bulky.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domon was also watching his opponent, looking for an opening that didn't come.
'Dammit' he cursed, not liking this one bit, 'Don't wanna reveal too much right off the bat, but without the Toate I'm limited to close range attacks.' He scowled at the crouching Dosu; his ire at the partially mummified nin increasing. 'And something tells me the little gnat isn't gonna just stand still.'
With a grunt, the giant pulled out a scroll and bit his thumb, rubbing the blood on the parchment. Within seconds he had Kubikiri Houcho over one shoulder, tucking the scroll away.
'Better get ready, just in case.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"WOAH!" Kiba yelped, pointing down at the arena, "Where'd he hide THAT thing?!"
"A storage scroll, much like those Lee-kun's teammate Tenten uses." Kagero replied "They cut down the amount of space needed when transporting objects, and can hold various things."
"I gotta get me one for my room." Kiba muttered with a whistle, causing Kurenai to shake her head.
'It'll take more than one to tidy THAT kennel.' The jounin thought, wincing at the memory, and smell, of Kiba's room, which had been declared a natural disaster zone, the attempted clearing of which had actually been team eight's first mission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dosu quirked an eyebrow at the sight of the massive Zanbato and whistled appreciatively. "Not a bad weapon you have there, Domon." He shrugged, "But with all due respect, I still prefer my own."
Domon said nothing, causing the sound genin to frown, before his eye widened in shock. Dosu let out a yell, startling the spectators as he leapt back a good ten feet.
There was a thunderous crash, followed by a brief cloud of dust and dirt, when it cleared, the tip of Kubikiri Houcho lay where the sound genin had been standing, a crater underneath.
"Fast little rat." Domon muttered, pulling the Zanbato up with one hand and pointing it at his opponent, "But then again, I wasn't expecting that to actually hit."
Dosu shivered, a large cut on the front of his clothes, as he eyed the giant carefully. 'It almost did,' he muttered, 'the giant's a lot faster than he looks!'
Domon smirked and gripped the sword in both hands, charging forwards with a roar.
"Let's do this!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The big guy's strong," Kotetsu admitted with a smirk, "but with a weapon like that, he's way too easy to read."
Izumo nodded, seeing where his partner was aiming at. "Yeah, Zanbato are too awkward for fancy techniques." he agreed, "Slashing vertically or horizontally are what he's limited to."
Kagero frowned for a moment, eyeing the combatants carefully. "Normally that is so…" she admitted, before smirking delicately, "But Domon has never been one to follow the rules."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dosu grinned as he dodged another swipe from the giant's sword. "Careless," he taunted; "that bulky weapon will be the death of you."
Domon growled and thrust the sword forwards like a spear, only for Dosu to leap back again, smiling behind his bandages. "You see?" the sound genin taunted, "You can't even reach me-OOMPH!"
Dosu's taunt was cut off when the blade seemed to extend forwards another few feet, ramming into his gut and sending him soaring backwards to land in a heap on the arena floor. Domon grinned at the fallen sound genin, holding the massive Zanbato at the very end of the handle, using his thumb and index finger alone to support it.
"You were saying?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kotetsu whistled, shaking his head in wonder at the feat of strength. "Domon's as strong as he looks, that sword's gotta weigh a tonne at least."
Izumo nodded, having been watching a little closer than his counterpart. "And he used the momentum of the thrust to send the sword darting forwards, catching it at the end so it didn't penetrate."
Kotetsu shook his head, muttering in disbelief. "Whadd'ya expect from one of Kakashi's brats?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dosu swore as he pulled himself to his feet, feeling a few ribs pop from the blow. 'This man…is no fool.' He noted, eyeing Domon critically, 'He knows the limits of the Zanbato, and has developed his own style to counter them.'
The genin's sole visible eye narrowed, "Clever..." He uncovered the melody arm, dashing forwards as he did so. "But not clever enough!"
Dosu dodged a slice that carved open the earth behind him, ramming his arm into the Giant's flank, smirking as he felt the vibrations warp around the target. "There," he bragged, "the shockwave is spreading through your body, all the way to your-eh?"
Domon seemed to bulge for a moment, before the giant exploded violently, much to the shock of the onlookers, and certainly to that of his opponent.
Dosu yelped as he barely avoided having his arm blown off by leaping back, the charred sound Nin stood starring at the crater, a look of bewilderment in his eye. 'What happened?!' he thought wildly, completely taken off guard by this unexpected turn of events.
"Bakuretsu Kage bunshin no jutsu." Domon's voice called out, echoing around the arena, "I picked this up a while ago, but never needed to use it…decided to wing it here though."
Dosu winced, eyeing his surroundings warily, waiting for the giant to make the first move. 'Just what I need,' he muttered sarcastically, 'multiple exploding giants…and the real one's still hiding somewhere.'
He closed his eyes, letting his enhanced sense of hearing guide him to his target. 'Listen for the echo…then coordinate my attack…' his eye snapped open as he felt a slight tremor coming from below. "THERE!"
Dosu slammed his hand down, channeling sound waves into it via his melody arm. The earth cracked, revealing a startled Domon. "You're mine!" the sound genin yelled, channeling his chakra into his melody arm again and swinging at the giant's face. Once again though, he was proven wrong, as the giant detonated, hurling him backwards
"Dammit!" Dosu yelled, rolling to his feet, "Where are you?!"
"Look around." The Giant's voice echoed, prompting the sound genin to blink in shock as a crouching army of Domon clones, swords at the ready, encircled him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recca snorted, shaking his head in bemusement. "Man, he even copied Zabuza's posture." The enjutsu-shi noted, "Old Mohawk head's really getting the swing of that cleaver."
Naruto grinned, placing his arms behind his head. "Would you expect any less?" he asked, prompting Recca to return the grin with interest.
"Not from Oni no Domon." The enjutsu-shi replied, causing Kankurou to raise an eyebrow at the giant's title.
'With that monstrous strength and Zanbato of his,' he sweatdropped, 'not to mention that freaky haircut, I can see why they call him that.'
Gaara seemed mildly intrigued by the giant's prowess, running a teal eye over the proceedings. Temari merely stared at the giant in horror, while Fuko cheered her would-be pursuer on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dosu was using his melody arm to destroy the clones as they tried to approach, a simple enough tactic, but it was slowly wearing away at his chakra. 'This makes no sense,' the genin muttered, 'I should be able to hear his heartbeat at least.' He growled as he destroyed another giant, 'but with so many solid bodies it's hard to focus!'
He noticed one of the Domon clones was staying well back, and considered attacking it when something came to mind, making him pause. 'Wait, this guy's the blonde's teammate right?' the sound genin recalled, eyeing the solitary giant warily, 'So it stands to reason that their strategies should be similar.' He grinned behind his wrappings and charged towards the clone, smirking as at least three clones chased after him. 'I thought so!'
The sound genin whirled round and sent a massive burst of Chakra behind him with the melody arm, before whirling round to face the last Domon. "You won't catch me with that little trick!" he roared, ramming his arm into the giant's side. Domon flinched as the shockwave went through him, causing Dosu to smirk, assuming the battle to be won.
"Game over-eh?!"
At just that moment, a fist flew out from virtually nowhere and rammed into his melody arm.
DOOM!
Dosu stared in shock as his weapon wasn't just destroyed, but reduced to powder. "Dumbass." Domon muttered, his clone disappearing, another holding the sound genin by the shoulder, "I knew you'd try that, it's the only real jutsu you've got!"
The mohawked giant smirked at the stunned expression on Dosu's face, pointing at himself with his thumb. "I may not be the sharpest tool in the pouch," He admitted, "but even I'll notice when a person uses the same attack over and over again."
Dosu winced as the giant loomed over him, his Zanbato over one shoulder.
"And without that damn amplifier," Domon growled, "you got nothing!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recca blinked, scratching his head in confusion as he tried to figure put what Domon had done. "Did anyone catch what he did just there?" he asked, looking round in time to see Naruto shake his head.
"I blinked and the weapon was gone." The blonde admitted, just as confused as his aniki was. Mikagami nodded, looking down at the giant with interest.
"Whatever it is," the swordsman muttered offhandedly, "I can tell he held back." The others looked at him and he pointed at his neck, before clarifying. "Whenever Domon fought, he was consciously pulling his hand back before the impact to lighten the blow, it shows in the way his neck muscles tightened."
Fuko blinked, trying to get her mind around what the swordsman had just said. "He's…thinking?' she asked, as if the sheer idea was ludicrous, prompting a snort from Tokiya.
'I doubt it…' the teen mentally muttered, before shaking his head. "Not so much," he admitted aloud to the kunoichi, "he's FEELING the course of the punch and correcting it." He gazed down at the giant appraisingly, shaking his head slightly. "He's come a long way, for a gorilla."
Shikamaru shivered, feeling a little put on by all that he'd seen. 'If I win this round then I'll have to fight either Sasuke, the ghoul, or Recca next.' He deduced, eyeing the other combatants warily, 'And something tells me that ogre or Naruto will be there as well' He shivered again, looking up at the stands in trepidation. 'But if I just drop out…'
An image of his raging mother towered over him, causing him to slump his shoulders at the No-win situation he was facing.
"Mendokuse…"
Gaara, ignorant of the lazy genin's predicament, eyed the giant carefully, an analytical look in his teal eyes. 'There was something special about that punch,' he muttered, 'I know he's strong but he couldn't pulverize things like that a month ago.' His eyes narrowed in concentration.
'There must be a technique to it.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dosu tried to pull out of the giant's grip, realizing he might as well try to move a mountain with his will alone.
"Give up," Domon muttered, cracking his neck joints, "without that weapon of yours you've got nothing." As the sound Nin continued to struggle the giant scowled, looking irritated. "Calm down!" he barked, "Keep this up and your arm will-!"
CRACK!
Domon blinked as the sound genin apparently dislocated his own arm and slipped out of the clone's hold.
"You think these bandages are just for show?" Dosu asked, smirking despite his dangling limb, "The melody arm IS my only weapon from sound, but that doesn't mean I'm completely wiped out!"
He promptly popped his own arm back into place and leapt back, uncovering it to reveal several weird tubes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Haridoku!" Kotetsu exclaimed, his eyes widening, "Poisoned Senbon launchers!"
Izumo nodded, an appreciative look in his eye. "So he's the resourceful type, if his main weapon breaks he falls back on his standard gear." He winced, "And Domon's caught point blank."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'I have him now!' Dosu predicted, as the needles hurtled towards the giant, 'He can't dodge them at this range!'
Domon grunted and reared an arm up, aiming a fist at the ground, much to the sound Nin's confusion. 'What's he trying to do?' Dosu muttered, before stumbling as the earth shook.
DOOM!
A wall of rock dust and pebbles shot upwards, blocking the senbon and causing them to fall to the ground.
Domon smirked and stood up from his spot, at the rim of a small crater formed by the blow. "Nice try," he mocked, "but even if you try that a thousand times, I can block it."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wh-What the heck was that?!" Kiba yelped, eyes wider than saucers, "He hit the ground so hard it made the dirt block the senbon?!"
Kagero frowned, having gotten a better view of the proceedings than the Inuzuka. "No," she contradicted, "brute strength couldn't do such a thing, even Domon's." She nodded, gazing at the teen carefully. "My guess is it's the same technique he used on Dosu earlier, applied to defense rather than offense."
Hinata blinked in awe, before looking down at the giant genin in wonder. 'Domon-kun…is strong!' she smiled softly, holding a hand over her heart, 'All of Naruto-kun's friends are strong.'
"Hate to say this," Kotetsu muttered to his partner, "but the big guy's got more surprises in him than the cafeteria twelve bean casserole."
Izumo winced, laughing weakly. "Yeah, but he's using his head and not showing off." The chunin eyed the arena floor and sweatdropped. "Not too much anyway," he amended, "and he's been leading the fight since it started."
Kotetsu smirked, looking down at the fighter's booth appreciatively. "Yeah, and the Kyuubi brat did pretty good as well, using their entrance to lay the field like that…" He shivered, "And those sword techniques, I thought Hayate's 'Mikazuki no mai' was the only Konoha Kenjutsu style."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 'Kazekage' was gripping the armrest of his seat with barely restrained fury.
'The Kyuubi no gaki I can understand,' he allotted, 'and that kunoichi certainly had her share of surprises...' The seat's armrest cracked, as the ninja leader of the land of wind's grip increased yet again. 'But how did this…this Nose-ringed MONGOLOID manage to improve so much in such a short space of time?!'
Sarutobi blinked as a cracking noise caught his attention; looking to his right revealed the Kazekage in an agitated state, the armrest of his chair broken, the remains clutched in his twitching hands. "Are you feeling alright, Yondaime Kazekage-dono?" he asked, looking at his younger counterpart in concern, causing the apparently younger man to glare at him for a moment, before relaxing, a smile visible in his eyes.
"Just…surprised at the level of skill your village's genin are displaying." He assured his elderly counterpart.
Sarutobi frowned for a moment, not quite taken in by the façade, before smiling cheerfully and nodding his head. "Yes," he admitted, "hard to believe Domon had only joined the academy during the last year isn't it?"
The Kazekage's eyes bulged, as did his attendants', whilst Raido coughed discreetly into his fist, suppressing a traitorous chuckle.
"…It would appear his skills more than make up for his appearance." The wind leader conceded, before returning his gaze to the fight below. Sarutobi did the same, but was inwardly cautious, despite his calm outward demeanor.
'The Yondaime-Kazekage was never this polite,' the elderly shinobi recalled, 'particularly whenever it appeared he was being looked down upon.' He frowned, eyeing the fighters' booth with trepidation. 'Plus, he didn't bat an eyelid when his daughter was defeated, despite all records entailing he spoiled her rotten."
The elderly Hokage scowled, eyeing the younger kage out of the corner of his eye as the man watched the proceedings like a hawk…or a serpent poised to strike.
'This man is not the Yondaime Kazekage.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recca whistled softly, impressed at his rival's progress. "Man, looks like Franken-stain pulled out all the stops with his training." he winced, "Wonder what'd be like if he actually hit someone?"
Naruto gazed at the crater and remnants of Dosu's melody arm, and shivered. "Let's just hope we never find out."
Kankurou was silently agreeing with the blonde. 'This guy's a freaking monster!' he muttered, before shivering, eyeing Gaara and Naruto, 'And he's not the only one! Oh man, three monsters in one tightly packed arena…!' He covered his face with one hand, whimpering softly as he shook his head. 'I knew I should have offered more at mom's grave!'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dosu growled and slung off the needle launchers, before twisting his arms outwards. Two scrolls slipped into his hands, he flicked his wrist and they opened, allowing him to rub some blood across them. There was a puff of smoke and he was holding two katanas, one in each hand.
"I haven't pulled these out in a long while, you should feel honored." The sound genin muttered, letting the sheaths' slide off of their own accord, "Even with all that muscle you can't block a sword with that oversized cleaver you've got."
Domon grunted, hefting Kubikiri Houcho over his shoulder with one hand. "Care to try me?" he growled, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Dosu eyed the giant, and then unwrapped the grip on each blade; to Domon's shock, the handles popped in half, one remaining in Dosu's hands, the other clattering to the floor.
"This is one of the finest swords I've come across." Dosu explained, clacking the handles together to form one, the two blades apparently sitting one over the other. "Its name is Renbato Shinuchi…it took a while to find."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Shinuchi?" Recca asked, looking at Tokiya, who nodded.
"When swords are made," the water swordsman explained, "the greater of the two is sometimes given to temples as gifts, those are called Shinuchi." He held up a finger, "However, the blades that came before it, of a lesser quality, are referred to as Kageuchi, and are either stored or given away."
Recca frowned, eyeing the bandaged genin warily. "So what, this guy raided a temple?" he asked, prompting Mikagami to shrug.
"Perhaps," the swordsman admitted, "or perhaps he merely came across it by chance."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This sword, with two blades sitting so close together, can leave wounds that are so close together, regular medical treatment won't work." Dosu grinned behind his wrappings, eyeing his massive opponent with glee. "Add to that the anti-coagulation formulae I treat it with, and the wounds left behind fester until the opponent dies of illness."
Domon shivered, eyeing the weapon with disgust as it caught the light. "Twisted little freak…" he growled, moving into a blocking stance, "If you think you're getting within five feet of me with that thing, you're wrong!"
Dosu smirked, before abruptly lunging forwards, right hand making the ram seal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That stance!" Kotetsu yelped, choking on his peanuts as Izumo growled, clenching his fist in rage.
"Orochimaru…you bastard!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mikazuki no mai!" Dosu called out, three images appearing alongside him, one above and two to the side, lunging at the giant. 'Got him!' the genin thought gleefully, 'Even if he does find me out, I can switch with one of the images and catch him off guard!'
Domon grunted as the three bunshins dashed towards him, and then hefted the Zanbato in both hands, holding it over his head with a roar.
"THAT WON'T WORK!"
As the startled Sound Nin blinked in shock, the giant spun the giant blade like a propeller, causing an updraft.
"HORAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"
Dosu swore as he was lifted off his feet and managed to switch places with a log, which splintered in mid air. "Impossible!" the bandaged genin swore as he felt his eye bulge out of its socket, "He's using the Zanbato like it was a bo-staff!'
Indeed, Domon was twirling the nine-foot sword like a demented cheerleader on steroids, a grin on his face that caused many to shiver as he advanced on the hapless sound genin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'I can see why they call him an Oni.' Tenten thought, shivering in shock, 'It takes effort for even the strongest jounin to lift a sword that size, let alone swing it.'
She winced as Domon leapt forward, tearing into the scenery like a Tasmanian devil on a sugar-rush. 'But this goes beyond human strength!' she thought in awe, 'Forget the weight of the sword, it's as if it really is no more than a feather to him!'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dosu leapt back and found himself in the unfortunate position of having his back to the wall, a grinning Domon advancing towards him like a tornado with fangs, that sadistic grin on his face threatening to split it in two.
'If this keeps up, I won't have a chance in hell.' The genin muttered, shivering at the insane light in the giant's eyes. With a grunt he moved into a different a stance. 'Right then…'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sarutobi raised an eyebrow, intrigued by what he was seeing. 'Hoh? He's that well trained in the art?' he wondered, mentally congratulating the boy on his progress, even if it was on behalf of his OWN treacherous student.
Said student, still in the guise of the Kazekage, leered at the fighters as he watched his servant lunge forwards again. 'Perhaps Dosu is worthy of interest after all.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mikazuki no mai," Dosu yelled out, "Ni no Tachi!"
The genin seemed to split into multiple clones that swamped the giant from all sides, their swords dipped in a stabbing or slashing movement at random.
"Tsukihime!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'That's the second of the Mikazuki techniques.' Genma commented, senbon twitching erratically as he watched from a safe distance; 'It looks like mere bunshin, when in fact, each sword stroke performed is real'
He scowled as he watched the sound nin close in on the giant. 'Domon will definitely not make it out of this one unscathed,' the chunin predicted, 'Hayate never failed to bring down his opponents with this move…its never seen defeat.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dosu, as if reading the man's mind, smirked at his apparent victory. 'No-one except Orochimaru knows this technique,' he bragged, slashing down amidst his clones, 'he'll never detect-!'
The Giant surprised the genin by letting go of the sword, sending it crashing into half the images, disrupting them but leaving the teen open for attack. 'Is he an idiot?' Dosu thought, before the giant stamped out simultaneously with both feet.
D-DOOM!
The sound genin couldn't help but yell as he was sent skyward amidst a hail of dirt and rock, before landing shakily on his feet, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
"He…shattered the ground…with his feet?!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domon stood at the bottom of an even larger crater than the last; which was actually two overlapping ones. The giant held up his arm, catching Kubikiri Houcho as it returned to him like a boomerang, the savage grin returning to his features. "Like I said," he boasted, "you ain't getting within five feet of me."
He blinked as Dosu appeared out of nowhere and swiped at him with the Renbato.
"FALL!"
Domon snorted at the nin's tenacity, then swung his Zanbato almost lazily, shattering the Renbato with a single stroke, sending the sound genin soaring backwards. "Give up" the giant muttered, "I used the back of the blade, but even so, you gotta have busted some ribs there."
Dosu swore and got up, breathing heavily as he held his ribcage with one arm. 'Curse that lummox…' he growled, 'Dammit…I didn't want to reveal this…' He yanked his shirtfront and tossed it off, straw backing and all, to reveal what appeared to be steel belts wrapped around his chest and midriff.
"Armor?" Domon commented, frowning slightly at the sight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto blinked in confusion, before his eyes widened in shock. "Domon!" he yelled out, leaning over the rail, "He's got another weapon!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domon blinked, then yelped as something bit into his arm, forcing him to leap back.
"This is a first for me," Dosu muttered, "I've never had to use this anywhere but while training."
He flicked his wrist and smirked behind his wrappings as several large spikes rose dangerously off his body. "Rikudoko!" he called out, twitching his wrist and causing the bizarre thing to dance like a spider's legs. "Orochimaru purchased this from a strange man in the service of assassinations," the genin explained, "and I am the only one who has succeeded in mastering it!"
He leaped forward, flicking his wrist to activate the blades, which shot towards the giant like vipers, the tips cutting into his arms and shoulder.
Domon grunted as he tried to dodge, one of the spikes scraping against his leg, causing him to flinch.
"Dodging is useless." Dosu muttered smugly, "I can control the blades with my chakra." He smirked as he stood up, his lanky body seeming to grow a foot without the slouch. "Resign yourself to defeat!"
The genin snapped his wrist and lunged forwards, just as Domon raised his own sword defiantly. 'Going to try and block? Or perhaps throw it?' Dosu mocked internally, 'Useless! I can change the direction with a flick of the wrist! I can even deflect that cleaver!'
"DIE!" the sound genin yelled, just as Domon rammed the tip of his own sword into the ground with the finality of a death knell.
DOOM!!!!!
Dosu was sent hurtling against the coliseum walls, which shook and began to crack as the massive shockwave echoed throughout the structure, his weapon's spikes crumpling under the pressure.
Genma let out a yelp as he lost his footing, actually rolling backwards from the shockwave that lashed out from the arena, the crowd grabbing onto their seats as the entire arena shook.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up in the Kage benches, Sarutobi's eyes widened in appreciative horror as the tremors finally came to a halt.
'He's…A demon!' the man whispered, feeling his heart start up again as he stared down into the dust cloud that had arisen from the giants last maneuver.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domon grinned ferally at the downed oto-nin as the dust began to settle, his wounds no longer bleeding as he pulled his sword out of the ground.
"Sorry," the giant muttered, "but I got too much to live for."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well now, that was interesting. Could Orochimaru have connections to organisations other than Akatsuki? Will Dosu be making a re-appearance later on? And how will the finals meassure up? What are your thought's kakashi? Kakashi?
