Iluvatar was resting by a tree in the forest of fangorn one afternoon, but being so layed back he fell asleep against the tree, awakening again when it was dark. The moon shone bright this night but that didn't matter, his Elf eyes allowed him to easily see in the dark. But it was something else that had woken him. With his enhanced hearing he'd heard the cracking of branches of the floor, someone was approaching. He was used to the sounds of the animals in woods at night, he found it peaceful, but these steps, they were heavy, two feet, carrying about 180 pounds of weight, needless to say it was a human. But with his intent sensing, Iluvatar sensed something, something not quite right. He jumped into a near by tree hiding in the leaves with his hand on one of his blades on his back as he looked on out of the darkness to get a better look at the person approaching... it was only a few moments before he entered a small 5m clearing in the trees to reveal....

Finally, there was a clearing inside of this wretched jungle.
Nagakura had wandered around for a while; he hadn't even realised it had gotten dark. The dense forest wasn't much help to that either. Now he had finally reached a point where he could see small traces of the clear skies above him. Being gifted in the abilities of a rogue traveler, he attempted to get bearings of location and where he needed to go using nothing but the stars.
"Hmm..." the puppeteer pondered out loud. To the left of the clearing he could spot two stars, with one with a faint glow compared to the bright hue of the other. Not much information to go on, unfortunately. His biggest guess would be that it pointed to a constellation known as Ama-no-Uzume - revered as the goddess of dawn and revelry. It's hinted that her constellation is signified by these two stars, along with four others in key locations, and can be used to point east. But at this point there wasn't enough information for him to get a good grip of where he was.
Nagakura had no choice but to admit it. He was lost.
He cussed under his breath, and set the puppet Kuroari next to a tree. It was dark; the forest looked tainted with evil spirits of some kind. It was best if he could get some rest and wait for morning to work on getting out.
(Kuroari) Black Ant
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Black Ant, created by Sasori, is a puppet that is often used in conjunction with Crow and, later on, Salamander. It has a bucket-shaped face with two red horns and a total of six arms. It, like Crow, has three eyes. Its body resembles a very large barrel, and it is hollow on the inside, making its main use to be that of trapping, while weapons enter the many slots on its body. At any time, Black Ant can literally open its stomach, and trap an opponent, able to extend the two halves of its stomach so that it stretches out and over the opponent from a very fair distance (approximately mid range) and then retracts the stomach back to its original form, closing it with the opponent inside. Its arm segments contain hidden saw-blades. Like Crow, Black Ant can detach its arms for attacks.
Note: Can only be used by a Suna puppet user

Iluvatar watched as the man entered th clearing from his position in the trees, trying to get a feel for the man. He pulls something off his back but Iluvatar isn't really sure what it is. Where the man is getting ready to settle down for the nights he wasn't sure what to do. If he left the man anything could happen that would be his fault but if he were to attack now then he would be no better than no other aggressive ninja. He had to think of a way to startle the man without giving away his position or that he was there, that's when it came to him. He picked up a nut that ways sat on the same branch as he and three it to the other side of the clearing in the darkness to hit a small branch in the tree opposite so it would cause the branch to move and rustle along with the sound of the nut hitting the branch. This was to give the impression of something watching the man so Iluvatar could watch and sense his intentions....

Unfortunately for the man, it took some time for him to get acquainted with the earth. Nagakura wasn't much for the outdoors, despite his outwards appearance.
That's when it happened...
Whoosh. There was an audible noise rummaging through the silent night now, that of leaves. He was startled. It could easily have been mistaken for a large gust of wind passing through the barren forest, but he knew better than that. Nagakura had knowledge there wasn't going to be much of a draft, that much he knew from prior during the day. But if it wasn't the wind, then what was it? An animal, or perhaps even a bird? It could even have been his imagination...
Nagakura didn't completely dismiss what had just transpired in the forest, but kept an open mind as to what might occur in the middle of the night. And with that, he began to relax his body into a comfortable section of the tree, and tried to get some rest.

The man seemed startled, but at the same time, he dismissed it. This told Iluvatar a few things. Firstly, he wasn't looking for someone, nor was someone looking for him, otherwise a noise like that would have caused him to ready for a fight, and Iluvatar sensed nothing like that. The man was just looking to rest for the night, well, for Iluvatar to interupt this, that would be wrong. And so he decided to wait until the morning to speak to the man. But he wasn't going to leave himself defenseless. With his hearing he would surely be woken by any who approached as he was a very light sleeper, but you can never be too safe in times like these. He drew a kunai out of his pocket, and tied a wire to the handle. He then used his chakra to cause the kunai to levitate then, with hand destrures he sent it around the clearing where the man slept and around the back of his tree, the wire is 1 foot off the ground, and so thin it blends into the darkness, hidden from any who may have seen it. The kunai then returns to his hand. He ties the other end of the string to the tree branch he is on, and holds the kunai with the wire tied to it, tight in his hand. So if anyone were to get close and touch that wire, it would pull on the kunai and wake him Immediately.
With that he silently settled his body against the tree trunk, his back facing the man in the clearing so he was out of sight come morning, and settled into a light sleep for some rest. He wondered what would come of the man in the morning...

I had a little bit of trouble understanding what you did, but I hope I got it right.
And then morning rose...
It wasn't the most ideal of places to sleep, but Nagakura had thought the area was relatively safe. The Land of Tea wasn't known for wild and ravenous beasts lurking in the forests; he was safe from harm for the most part.
The young man opened his eyes to the glimmering sunlight trickling down through the abundance of leaves. It was really a beautiful sight to behold. Who knew the area would have been so picturesque? He wasn't an artist by any means, but even this could leave an impression on him. Slowly he stretched his arms and legs, followed with rubbing his eyes. He was about to seize the day!
Except... Nagakura noticed something faintly. It wasn't much, but enough to catch his eye. Something showed some sparkle close to the ground. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to have been some wire. But why would there be some kind of wire here in what was seemingly a remote location? This wasn't something an animal could have done at all, let alone blaming the wind. No, it was much worse than he could have ever anticipated.
Someone was watching him.
The puppeteer inspected the wire even closely, having physically grabbed it to see where exactly it would have led. It looked as if the wire had wrapped around the tree he was sleeping against, maybe trying to ensnare him. The right side, he gradually followed with the tips of his fingers without really moving from where he was kneeling. Somewhere up in the trees seemed to be where his possible assailant was, thats where the wire lead. It was too difficult to see, even with the sun shining upon them. It wasn't much, but Nagakura created a single thread of chakra from his hand and trailed it up the wire, and hoped it would give him some clue as to what happened throughout the night he was sleeping. It wouldn't have helped, but this was a technique that required incredible finesse to control. He could tell—no, he could feel the changes between the surfaces he was touching with the chakra threads.
He continued leading the thread on until there was a drastic change in its consistency. First the wire, then the kunai, and lastly what felt like a hand, at least genetically speaking. Nagakura pulled away from the wire at this point. Without releasing the string touching the man, he pulled a kunai of his own and cut the wire wrapping around the tree.
"Did you set this trap?" The young man stood up and called out. He was calm, despite the situation he was in. He couldn't quite see the opposing guy, but just knew he was there. Call it intuition.
Nagakura looked adamant, not as if he was looking for a fight but more wanting to question him as to his actions.

Morning came swiftly as Iluvatar rested in the trees out of sight. The sun was almost like an alarm clock for him, the warmth of it radiating through the woods, waking all the plants bringing new life to the world each day. As the sun began to rise over the horizon, Iluvatar began to stir, he was half away anyway but other things made him more aware. With his enhanced hearing he could hear the man stirring below, and so he looked around to see if he'd just turned in his sleep. But it seemed he was actually beginning to wake. As he began to rise, Iluvutar moved out of sight behind the tree once more with the kunai attached to the wire in his hand still. The wire went around the outside of the clearing to make a one wire fence of sorts.
As he stood motionless, waiting, feeling, thats when he felt it, the man had found the wire. Iluvatar could feel the motion through the wire of the man running his hand along the wire. So he'd found it, now the question was, how would he react. If anyway he would follow the wire and see where the trap started, it's what most shinobi would do. Leading him to Iluvatar in the tree. He would have to change location as he didn't want to give away his position too soon. Thinking of the most silent way to do it, Iluvatar released his chakra throughout his entire body sinking into the tree, and as he does, he pulls the kunai down so half of it is silently embedded in the tree, so that the wire holds in place. He would go down through the tree and under ground going behind to the other side of the clearing. He would re emerge from a tree, behind where the man had been sleeping, about 5 meters away, but on the back side so he couldn't be seen. He was about 5m up the tree when he'd emerged.
"Did you set this trap?"
So he knew Iluvatar was there still, but he still didn't want to reveal himself. That way the man wouldn't know how many there watching him, or who or what they were. He decided to use a little trick of his own, to try and throw off his opponent, but at the same time converse with him. He projected his voice from the other side of the clearing (behind you to your left) in his first reply:
You immediately said trap which means you're expecting someone to attack you, now why would this be? Do you see anything here that would cause you harm?
Then, to throw off the man, he projected his voice from another place in the clearing (behind you to your right this time), hoping to keep you confused while at the same time bearing no ill intent.
You've entered a Land that is not yours. You're come expecting traps. Yet you come alone. What would bring a man such as yourself to be in such a situation. And why so defensively?

Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 20 (-5 per turn)
Damage points: N/A
Description: Using this jutsu, the user can merge with another passive object and take on its properties to avoid any damage. While merged, the user is virtually undetected unless the enemy has a doujutsu. Even chakra sensors won't be able to pinpoint the users position. The limitation of the technique is that to use a technique and mold chakra, the user must fully unmerge although doing so doesn't produce any sound and the user can only be sensed once fully unmerged. The user is still aware of the world outside the object and can travel inside it at his normal running speed. The technique was used so far by 3 ninjas (Yamato, Orochimaru and Uchiha Madara) but as an advanced ninjutsu, it can be used by any skilled enough ninja.
Note: the user must be Sannin Rank and above
Note: Orochimaru and Yamato can use it 5 times per battle, Uchiha Madara can use it 3 times, other ninjas can use it twice.
Note: Cannot merge into mediums which aren't tangible

He could see clearly what was happening now that he was alert; the wire glistened in the sunlight as it moved barely, but mysteriously, and stopped as if it were stuck in the tree. How strange, it was only a hunch at first, but now Nagakura could say without certainty that he was being watched. Who would do something like this? What kind of pervert would watch a handsome man sleeping in the middle of a forest, it was outright nasty.
But then he responded to his retort. "You immediately said trap which means you're expecting someone to attack you, now why would this be? Do you see anything here that would cause you harm?" His voice was very reassuring, yet oddly calming, like being graced with a forceful serenade. It helped Nagakura calm down and really re-evaluate his surroundings and everything that was going on. His head veered to the left, where he could hear the peaceful voice coming from.
"Your use of ninja tools," he said with a firm tone of voice.
"Usually these indicate your wanting to hurt me. You wouldn't pull out a knife just to play with it, would you?" The puppeteer didn't know this man's intentions, but he was going to figure them out sooner or later. A few moments later he heard the same voice which resonated within him from behind again, only this time to the right. A diversionary tactic?
"You've entered a Land that is not yours. You're come expecting traps. Yet you come alone. What would bring a man such as yourself to be in such a situation. And why so defensively?" The man continued.
"I don't know where you are but..." Nagakura was hesitant in his motions now; the everchanging location of his voice was a testament to that. He gazed around looking for if he could see anything out of the ordinary as he continued his line of speech. "I'm not really expecting anything. You're the one who set this wire up, you're the one who watched me sleeping. If anything, I should be asking you why you're acting so defensively..."
The puppeteer ended his speech there; no need to keep going on a rhetoric. Though he was still confused as to where the mysterious voice was coming from. Without bearing any malicious intent, he released a small scroll from his flak-jacket and a pen. He unraveled the parchment while drawing what looked to be a rather crude picture of land. It was a topographical map of what he would have wanted the area to become, leaving nothing but a single tree standing—the one he sheltered under. Nagakura laid the open scroll on the ground and performed the Ram seal, followed up with quickly placing his hand atop the parchment. The earth itself started to shift dramatically; trees disappeared underground as if the earth was eating everything up. The land looked barren now, save for the tree he was under. Patches of grass and residue of the tree's leaves could easily be seen by anyone who walked along.
Nagakura hadn't really hoped to startle the man, it was more changing the bearings to something he preferred: a simple terrain which bared no secrets or underhanded plays. A trap was already set once, this could have been used to alleviate that.
He looked around the left of the tree and spotted the man who had made all these commands. Although man wasn't a word he would have used to describe him. This perfect specimen looked as if he glowed with charisma. He appeared as strong as he was beautiful; long hair blowing in the wind. Even Nagakura couldn't help but grow a little red in the cheeks. But this was no time to be phazed by another man's imminent beauty, his heart was already stolen by someone else. Nagakura spoke again, this time looking directly into his ocean-blue eyes with a stern resolve.

Descripton: The user will bite his thumb and perform the Boar → Monkey → Bird → Monkey → Ram hand seals, slamming their hand into a scroll on the ground. This technique is a combination of the Summoning Technique and an Earth Release technique. The user summons a large amount of rock from a giant canyon which, during the process of being summoned through this technique, he shapes into a design he outlined previously in a scroll. This allows the user to change the topography of the map and create any earthen feature he needs from pillars to gorges, canyons, mountains or simply plains. If the user wants to or is defeated, the alteration ends as any summon eventually does. Additionally he can use (Doton: Dimenshon Fuudo Shihai) - Earth Release: Dimension Topography Control at any point to change the design and alter the summoned terrain.
Note: can only be used once per battle

"Your use of ninja tools," he said with a firm tone of voice.
"Usually these indicate your wanting to hurt me. You wouldn't pull out a knife just to play with it, would you?" The puppeteer didn't know this man's intentions, but he was going to figure them out sooner or later. A few moments later he heard the same voice which resonated within him from behind again, only this time to the right. A diversionary tactic?
"You've entered a Land that is not yours. You're come expecting traps. Yet you come alone. What would bring a man such as yourself to be in such a situation. And why so defensively?" The man continued.
"I don't know where you are but..." Nagakura was hesitant in his motions now; the everchanging location of his voice was a testament to that. He gazed around looking for if he could see anything out of the ordinary as he continued his line of speech. "I'm not really expecting anything. You're the one who set this wire up, you're the one who watched me sleeping. If anything, I should be asking you why you're acting so defensively..."
The puppeteer ended his speech there; no need to keep going on a rhetoric. Though he was still confused as to where the mysterious voice was coming from. Without bearing any malicious intent, he released a small scroll from his flak-jacket and a pen. He unraveled the parchment while drawing what looked to be a rather crude picture of land. It was a topographical map of what he would have wanted the area to become, leaving nothing but a single tree standing—the one he sheltered under. Nagakura laid the open scroll on the ground and performed the Ram seal, followed up with quickly placing his hand atop the parchment. The earth itself started to shift dramatically; trees disappeared underground as if the earth was eating everything up. The land looked barren now, save for the tree he was under. Patches of grass and residue of the tree's leaves could easily be seen by anyone who walked along.
Nagakura hadn't really hoped to startle the man, it was more changing the bearings to something he preferred: a simple terrain which bared no secrets or underhanded plays. A trap was already set once, this could have been used to alleviate that.
He looked around the left of the tree and spotted the man who had made all these commands. Although man wasn't a word he would have used to describe him. This perfect specimen looked as if he glowed with charisma. He appeared as strong as he was beautiful; long hair blowing in the wind. Even Nagakura couldn't help but grow a little red in the cheeks. But this was no time to be phazed by another man's imminent beauty, his heart was already stolen by someone else. Nagakura spoke again, this time looking directly into his ocean-blue eyes with a stern resolve.
"Why are you acting so defensively"
(Doton: Uitenpen) - Earth Style: Wheel Of Fortune
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Descripton: The user will bite his thumb and perform the Boar → Monkey → Bird → Monkey → Ram hand seals, slamming their hand into a scroll on the ground. This technique is a combination of the Summoning Technique and an Earth Release technique. The user summons a large amount of rock from a giant canyon which, during the process of being summoned through this technique, he shapes into a design he outlined previously in a scroll. This allows the user to change the topography of the map and create any earthen feature he needs from pillars to gorges, canyons, mountains or simply plains. If the user wants to or is defeated, the alteration ends as any summon eventually does. Additionally he can use (Doton: Dimenshon Fuudo Shihai) - Earth Release: Dimension Topography Control at any point to change the design and alter the summoned terrain.
Note: can only be used once per battle
Iluvatar remained hidden behind the tree, all the while trying to sense any form on intent from the man. So far nothing, but that could just mean he was in touch with himself and able to hide what he truly felt. Iluvatar heard him reply to one of the voices. He seemed defensive in his wording. Almost like when a child asks for something but is told no, but then the parent would have it, almost accusingly in a way. Was this a sign that he was scared.
"Usually these indicate your wanting to hurt me. You wouldn't pull out a knife just to play with it, would you?"
I have many tools that i would just play with. Many weapons are used for sport such as a bow for example. Who is to say the wire you found wasn't for your own protection. We both know you aren't native to this land. You jump to the most defensive conclusion in your way of thinking, you see the wrong before what could be right...
As Iluvatar spoke, he then heard something, the man was pulling something out. Was it paper, a paper tag? A scroll. He wasn't a good at hearing as those sound users but he seemed to be doing something. He spoke once more as he did.
"I'm not really expecting anything. You're the one who set this wire up, you're the one who watched me sleeping. If anything, I should be asking you why you're acting so defensively..."
Like i said, you said "Watched you sleeping", not "watching over you sleeping". These are the words of a man without hope...
As he finished his sentence the entire ground began to shake, not just where Iluvatar was but all around him. What was this, the forest, the trees, all of it breaking away to become a barren land bit by bit save for one tree. Iluvatar was mortified, he almost forgot what he was doing, but it actually felt like part of him was being torn away by all of the trees being destroyed like that. In the last few seconds of the change he released his chakra throughout his entire body, bending the light around him to become invisible. Much like a cameleon, even if it was to blend the with desolate earth. Now hidden, he decides to waste no more time, he couldn't allow such destruction to go unharmed. He dashed forwards silently, using the silent homocide technique, silently but swiftly with gracious moves only capable by the Elves, reaching the back of his opponent, he'd placed something on the ground before but Iluvatar wasn't sure what that was.
He decided to test the man from within. Not just kill him outright. And so he thrust his right hand forwards, into the man's back where his heart would be. But just as his hand is about to touch the man, it turns to holy fire. The way Iluvatar uses this is the unique ability of the flames, where, they will only hurt the person they touch if they showcase any negative intents or actions in the users eyes. His hand holds the man's heart almost in a spiritual like way. He would still be invisible but around the mans chest where his heart would be would be glowing....
(Meisaigakure no Jutsu) - Hiding with Camouflage Technique
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30 (-10 per turn active)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This is a ninja escape technique that allows the user after performing the Tiger hand seal to control how light is reflected around their body with chakra inflections. The technique also erases the user's scent and shadow, and is usable on any terrain, making it ideal not only for covert maneuvers but also offensive strikes. Perceiving the user's position is possible only for ninja who are astute enough to observe minute variations within their surrounding environment, such as distortions of air currents in the immediate vicinity or distinguishing sounds, i.e. footsteps etc. However, the usefulness of this ability can be entirely negated by those with special vision or sensory skills. The Second Tsuchikage, Mū's mastery of this technique helped earn him the moniker "Non-Person" seemingly having neither form nor chakra while the technique was active. Thus, he could not be sensed through traditional means.
Note: Technique lasts a total of 3 turns
(Muon Satsujin Jutsu) - Silent Homicide Technique
Rank: D
Type:Attack
Range:Short-Mid
Chakra Cost:10
Damage Points:20
Description: Muon Satsujin Jutsu, the ability to commit a silent homicide, is a technique to dispatch your foe with no warning. Your quick speed and skills will instantly kill them before they can provide a defense. Best tactic is when used with Hidden Mist jutsu. The technique works by having the user focus his chakra and his complete attention on moving fluidly, rapidly but muffling any sound he may make while moving as well as his presence, etc. It doesn't suppress his chakra or hides it but it can make the opponent virtually undetected if he manages to get on the opponents blind spot.
Shigai no Seisen | Body of the Crusader
Type: Offensive/Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: A/S
Range: short
Chakra: 30/40
Damage: 60/80
Description: This jutsu goes back to the founding of the clan. The amber from the tree of light was sealed into the clan giving them their powers. The amber flows through them making them the light themselves in a sense allowing them to control their KG. This lets them become the Silmarilis, The Light, The Holy Fire, if you will. Their body becomes the element themselves of holy fire. This can be in part like just the arm (A rank) or in a surge of chakra turning their entire body to the light energy itself. In doing the full surge they purge themselves of all they feel to be negative. This can be done in part with the A rank also. In turning to the Holy Fire, they become the light itself, and blind all who look at them radiating heat from the holy fire. The feel they are the embodiment of the sun which they praise, they are pure, bright and purge the darkness. In this form, being energy itself, it breaks down all that is weak to the holy fire and allows them to enhance their close combat skills through this, burning and purging those who seem to do the elves harm.
Note: The A rank version can be used once per turn on any part of the body, lasting up to two turns or until cancelled
Note: The S rank version turns the entire body to silmarilis, and in this form the user can only use energy based elements. This lasts up to 3 turns, can only be used twice per battle with two turns between uses. If the S rank is used the A rank can't be used for two turns also.
Note: In this form the user becomes vulnerable to elements that are strong to energy based elements such as the cannon Dark release element.
Note: Blinding lasts while this is active. Once this ends the targets remain blind for one more turn.
Note: only be able to use elements that compose Holy Fire when in full body mode
Reference: A side effect is that this Holy Fire "purifies" which simply means that it burns what the user deems "evil" and leaves intact that which the user doesn't and when it burns something, it burns it to nothing.

Apologies for the late reply, I got caught up with RL.
Got no idea if this is gonna work, but let's go with it anyway. xD
And...nothing. There was just nothing noticeable from where he heard the eerie voice; just a barren wasteland which he had created moments ago. Nagakura's opponent seemed to have disappeared into the void, if there was one. One could assume his entire existence had been removed from this plane.
That, or he was hallucinating...
No, no. There's no way that was a possibility. There was just too much evidence to substantiate the idea that someone else was out there. The wires and traps set beforehand, the needless bickering in regards to whether his actions were pure and righteous (they weren't), nothing added up to this being a pure figment of his own imagination. Regardless of whatever it was, he needed to remain on guard and vigilant. It was a key aspect of being a ninja; Nagakura knew of that the hard way. Even if he were to blindly trust this man's word on his protection, to drop his guard in a place like this would be the same as killing himself.
The Prisoner's Dilemma. It was a simple concept of alliance, and the fear of betrayal. Two countries would call a truce and offer to intentionally weaken themselves as to not show as a threat to the allied country. However, in fear of the imminent betrayal that each country may fall victim to, neither would weaken their own military, and continue to be fearful to each other. Nagakura's blind trust wasn't going to be won over that easily.
The Puppeteer's vigilance was wearing thin as he awaited an incoming attack from his assailant. But that's when something was going to hit him. Or at least it was about to hit him.
Nagakura could feel it; the emblazoned feeling from his back. The heat had started to get to him. Fire? Lightning? Scorch? It was difficult to tell in such a short amount of time. There was no real defending from it, unforunately. He was about to meet his end.
Not really, this story would be boring if it ended with the hero losing without putting up a fight. What Nagakura had done next would have been considered almost instantaneous, or at least that's the illusion he would give off. The Puppeteer released what was a few threads of chakra from his right hand and connected them to what was next to the tree. The heat had gotten to him at this point, in which it was a simple motion, but excellently executed. A simple academy grade technique was used to avoid the incoming flames; Nagakura switched places with what was within the copious amounts of bandages, Black Ant. To further aid this, the chakra threads were already attached to the puppet just moments before. He performed a couple of nudges with his fingers, and opened up the barrel of Black Ant's body. It would have looked as if it ate nothing to any ordinary spectator, but he knew someone was there and was ready to be captured.
The trail of techniques used was so swift and fluid, almost as if a skilled seamstress had created a new piece of clothing within minutes. Nagakura's execution of jutsu was seamless and unparalleled, there was no escaping the clutches of Black Ant in the hands of a skilled puppeteer.
Underneath the tree, he had visibly been sweating. The intensity of what had just occured and the adrenaline flowing through his veins...he was pumped up. Sweat dripped down his face as he recollected his calm composure. Now with the person who was trying to "protect" him under his custody, he could afford to do so.
"Why would you do this?" Nagakura spoke; a hint of concern in his voice. "You talk about wanting to protect me, then why not just say so? Instead of being so covert about it..." Indeed, it was quite a trifling thought. If you wanted to protect someone, just outright tell them that, instead of playing hard to get. He's a total...tsundere!

It, like Crow, has three eyes. Its body resembles a very large barrel, and it is hollow on the inside, making its main use to be that of trapping, while weapons enter the many slots on its body. At any time, Black Ant can literally open its stomach, and trap an opponent, able to extend the two halves of its stomach so that it stretches out and over the opponent from a very fair distance (approximately mid range) and then retracts the stomach back to its original form, closing it with the opponent inside. Its arm segments contain hidden saw-blades. Like Crow, Black Ant can detach its arms for attacks.

I'm not 100% sure myself, but your move seems fine to me ^_^
When it came to replying i had to check to see if it was an offensive or binding move before i replied in a story style way or more defensive way. The only think that answered my question was the image below, it showed me you have to then attack me within the binding, rather than the binding being offensive ^_^
You must be registered for see images
Even i'm not sure on things like this, so it's always good to check but i did thoroughly enjoy reading your reply, and had quite a few options in the way i wanted to reply but this seemed the best.
Iluvatar thrust his hand forwards, glowing with the aura of purity, to test the mans true intentions within his heart, to see if he was right about him. Was he just a man who was venturing through the land acting in defense, or a man looking to destroy like the part of the forest he'd just laid waste to, this was the one way to get a true feel for it. As his hand touched the back of the man before him, a gleam caught his eye, but he wasn't sure what it was. In those moments, the mans back opened up in a puff of smoke, the wood parting around him as what was revealed was a puppet. What a clever shinobi indeed. The wood wrapped around Iluvatar, and just as it did his elf eyes caught the movement of the bundle by the tree.
The wood closed on him, binding him in darkness. Though this didn't trouble him. It gave him a few seconds to think what had just happened. Was the boy he'd been trying to test all along actually in the bundle? Could it be that was his way of avoiding detection. No it couldn't be, the boy had used a scroll, a form of summoning that required blood to change the entire terain, Iluvatar knew the technique well, so that wasn't it. But that flicker of movement before Iluvatar struck. That's when he figured it out. The smoke wasn't part of the binding technique, it was a substitution, the boy and replaced his location with that of the puppet to avoid Iluvatars strike, what a clever shinobi. Iluvatar though he was smart but maybe he had been reckless in this situation.
Iluvatar's thoughts were interupted by the boys voice, he seemed shocked, almost like a child that had been struck by a parent that didn't understand what he'd done wrong. But why? The Iluvatar thought about it. The boy had taken the warmth of his holy fire as an attack. Not the purity of the flame. The wire would of seemed as a trap for him rather that a alarm for Iluvatar. It was starting to make sense. The boy wasn't looking for a fight. He was only defending himself. An opponent he couldn't see, had seemingly tried to trap him then strike him down, how would any normal shinobi react. But even then the boy hadn't struck Iluvatar, he'd bound him then spoke to him, he was trying to reason with him.
Iluvatar had panned to escape using his holy fire, in a burst of purity he could of emerged from the puppet as a pillar of light. But now that didn't seem right. That would be unwarrented destruction, something that Iluvatar was not a fan of. Instead he decided that it was time he explained to the boy why he was doing what he was doing.
Forgive me, for i have not realized the concequences of my actions. I did not seek to harm you, only to test you. I am Iluvatar Noldor, Lord of the Elves of the Woodland realm. You entered our forest last night, and, as is my duty, i was acting in the protection of my people and our home. I watched you and set up the wire to be alerted to when you awoke. From here i wanted to test your intentions but did not seek to fight you. My doubts in you were tested when you did this...[Iluvatar gestures to all the wasteland that was once forest]You destroyed much life in these trees, ancient trees that spoke to us through many generations, i would go as far to say out friends. This is why i did what i did. Just now, i intended to test your intentions in your heart. This is the power of the Silmarilis, the light of the world, the holy fire some call it. If you were pure of heart you would never of had anything to worry about. We only harm those that seem to harm. We live in peace and that peace must be protected. To me you seem on edge, scared, like the world has already taken from you, more than it should have, but you were never in harm here as long as you never sought to harm.
Iluvatar kept his sensing active as he remained in the puppet that bound him. Waiting, feeling, if any harm was intended to him, he would be read and he would strike.
You have my name, you have my intentions, and it seems you have me trapped also. So, young master, what will it be?
