Ao called on a messanger to run through the Joint Shinobi Alliance's base and look for the two other ninja Ao had requested for the spying mission on the External Chakra Flow user. Her search was dragged out over hours, as no one wanted to get near such a ninja, or was unable to.
Kyden: No, I can't come on this mission.
Matsuru: But you were asked for, by name, by Captain Ao!
Kyden: An Inuzaka is nothing with out his ninja dogs, and Hanmaru and Kantomaru are still in a state of recovery. I can't go.
Matsuru: You are so impossible!
Kyden: That may be, but atleast I'm loyal to the very end, especially when it comes to things that are close to me!
The messanger Matsuru rolled her eyes and kept searching for what Ao had requested. When Ao called her back, all she had was a branch Hyuuga member, Nigashi, and no Inuzaka.
Matsuru: Kyden refuses to come, and all other Inuzaka's are off on a mission somewhere!
Kyden: Fine!
Kyden leapt from a roof near their meeting place at the edge of the forest/base boundry.
Kyden: If you're fine with a dogless Inuzaka, then I suppose I'll come!
Ao: I had this done for you.
Ao pulled from behind his back, Kyden's sword, repaired by expert fire and earth style users working to mould the steel blade back together seemlessly. Kyden took the sword into both of his hands, lying it as level as he could, examining the blade.
Kyden: It's impossible to tell that it was ever broken!
Ao: I hopped you would like it. Shinto Aburame!
Shinto: Yes, Captain Ao!?
Ao: You are the squad leader for this mission; don't let me down!
Shinto saluted to Ao.
Shinto: Sir, no sir!
Ao: Good.
Gredon: Seriously! You're giving leadership to that Aburame!
Ao: Quiet, you! You've officially been demoted within the sensor corps; let's see how proud the 'head branch' is about you know. I'm sure they tresure that branch boy Neji more than you, now!
Gredon: I'm sure they already did!
Shinto: Enough of that! C!?
C: Here!
Shinto: Kyden Inuzaka!?
Kyden: Here!
Shinto: Nigashi Hyuuga!?
Nigashi: Still here!
Shinto: Then let's move out, men!
The three sensors: OI!
The quartet of sensors leapt after the mysterious man, Kyden leading the way as he still had a slight scent of the man and could track him better than the other four.
Ao: Let's hope this works...

As the four sensors made their way through the forest, following Kyden's nose, Shinto and C took the time to fill Nigashi in on everything they knew about this man so far.
Nigashi: This guy's old!
Shinto: Really? We just told you that he's invincible to LITERALY everything, and all you focus on is his age!?!
Nigashi: Just leave me be!
Kyden: Howl! He's close! I can smell it!
Kyden leapt off on his usual burst of speed, which the other three strained to keep up with.
Nigashi: Ummm... Does anyone else know where we are?
C: What do you mean?
Nigashi: I mean, this guy's stopped moving, but it's where he stopped moving that worries me.
Shinto: Thus your location question. Where did he take a break?
Nigashi: You'll know it when you see it.
Kyden: Um, g-guys!
Kyden's voice was filled with worry, something never heard from the most fearless Inuzaka alive, although many people believe that his fearlessness is caused by recklessness and not thinking things through.
Shinto: What's wrong?
The other three caught up to the branch Kyden was on (they were traveling through the trees) and C and Shinto saw what was bothering Nigashi and Kyden. Below them was a clearing; a very terrifying clearing. All of them reconized at once what it was, and they all couldn't help but notice the glowing blue aura standing in the middle of it.
Shinto: T-This is-
C: I-I can't believe he's not-
Kyden: He probably doesn't even know where he is!
Nigashi: Or what's about to happen to him.
C: Oh, he knows what's going to happen to him.
Kyden: Absolutely nothing.

Meanwhile, down at the entrance to the Akatsuki's layer, the mysterious man was trying to think things through.
???: Now, if this war is actually going on, then I need to find somewhere that I can stay quiet, and come out periodically to stop fighting-
White Zetsu: HEY YOU!
???: Me?
White Zetsu: You're genjutsu's no use against me, buddy!
???: Genjutsu? I honestly can't-
White Zetsu: Save your breath, this'll be nice and quick!
???: Say, you're the one they call 'Zetsu', aren't you? The white half, I mean.
White Zetsu: Yeah, and you're my next victim!
Nigashi: Eight Trigrams: Rotation!
Nigashi jumped down from his pearch in the trees to stop Zetsu's advance on the mysterious man.
???: Ah, a new Hyuuga. Why did you do that, I was perfectly fine.
Nigashi: Because those guys suck your chakra out!
???: Ah, I see.
The man went up to the regenerating Zetsu to get a better look at it. Then the Zetsu finished regenerating with a jerk and leapt upwards towards the chakra cloak. The man sweapt the Zetsu aside as if he were merely a speck of dust. The man turned around to return to Nigashi, when the Zetsu attacked from behind, but the man was fast. He spun around and shot it with his chakra, but the Zetsu merely regenerated the distroyed piece of 'flesh'. The two engaged in taijutsu for quite some time, nearly two minutes.
White Zetsu: You're good... Do you work for us?
???: I work alone. Explosion Draining Punch!
The man puched Zetsu, causing most of it's body to blow up. Even without his Byakuga, Nigashi could see the man draining the Zetsu's chakra to a point where it couldn't regenerate itself.
Nigashi: You have to teach me that!
???: It cannot be taught. It is a variation of my External Chakra Flow Jutsu. I am going into this cave, if you accomany me, I will gladly tell you everything I know about my jutsu.
Nigashi: You're just going to tell me about your supreme jutsu?
???: As I have no enemies, I have no friends, and therefore I do not care who knows about my jutsu, as it cannot be defeated anyways, and your captain seem to be very interested in this. You know, the non-Hyuuga with a Byakugan.
Nigashi: Right... But what if we're attacked. Those things usually travel in swarms!
The man shrugged.
???: Massive Explosion Draining Punch.
No sooner had the man said that, had Nigashi jumped to his side with a special scroll in his hand.
Nigashi: I think all we need to know now are the weaknesses.
So the two shinobi walked into the layer of the Akatsuki, and the other three sensors were freaking out.
Kyden: Did they seriously just WALK into the Akatsuki hidout!?!?
Shinto: He's a deadman.
C: What are you talking about? He's invincable!
Shinto: I was talking about Nigashi.
C: Oh, well then, he's toast.
As C and Shinto were talking, Kyden pulled out the matching scroll to the one Nigashi had. These scrolls were special, because when one scroll had chakra coursing through it, it transfered spoken word from the area around that scroll, into written word on the other scroll.

???: So, you're wonding about this jutsu's weaknesses, eh? Well, for starters, you cannot use any jutsu whatsoever while this jutsu isn't in effect.
Nigashi: So, it's that or nothing?
???: And it becomes even more so. While using the jutsu, you can only use jutsu that are varients of External Chakra Flow, such as my Gentle Fist-like jutsu, or Explosive Draining Punch. The exception to this is, of course, elemental jutsu, which has it's own set of rules.
Nigashi: Right. So, you can't use genjutsu at all?
???: No. What your group is always mistaking as a genjutsu is merely my voice traveling through a layer of chakra. Now, in order to learn this jutsu, you must not know any jutsu before it, and if you're born with a Kekkei Genkai, you must not have activated it, and will never be able to activate it.
Nigashi: Why?
Kyden: Yes, mister. Why?
???: Why? Because when your chakra nodes are forced to the outside of your body, they learn to flow differently. My chakra doesn't know how to flow within my body, only outside of it, which is why I can't use jutsu without my chakra cloak. If you know how to use a jutsu with your chakra inside your body, your chakra doesn't know how to flow outside your body, and you could die. Unlocking your Kekkei Genkai also gives your chakra a familiar path, so it can't handle being on the outside, and Kekkei Genkai are designed to flow a certain way, which an outter flow couldn't provide, thus rendering it useless.
Nigashi: Wow. Your jutsu is amazing, but messed up at the same time!
???: Isn't it?
The two shinobi rounded a corner to find at least fifty White Zetsu waiting for them.
Nigashi: Whoa, crap!
All White Zetsu: ATTACK!
???: Massive Explosion Draining Punch!
The man wound up for a dousy of a punch, and let it fly. The punch literally balsted every Zetsu to bits and then drained all of their chakra until every bit was a shriveled white speck.
???: If it weren't for the draining aspect of the technique, I'd be completely exhausted after the first time I used the lesser one.
Sasuke: You don't say?
The man and the Hyuuga, who had his Byakugan deactivated, spun around just in time to see Sasuke burn Nigashi (who was standing behind the man with the chakra cloak to stay away from the punch) burnt to a crisp by Amatratsu. The Amatratsu made a wall of black flames before the man, and a hole appeared in it that Sasuke walked through.
Sasuke: And who, might I ask, are you?
???: I have no name. And, if I may return the question, you are...?
Sasuke: I am Sasuke Uchiha!
Sasuke pulled out his sword and stuck a sweet action pose.
Sasuke: Your worst nightmare.
Sasuke launched himself at the man and decided to start with a chakraless assault. He held his sword in his hand and didn't even bother trying to trick him; Sasuke merely went straight for a stab. The invunerability of the mans chakra cloak made his sword stop where it was, and forced Sasuke to summersault over the man, though the air, and land behind him.
Sasuke: AMATRATSU!
The black flames engulfed the man's back, but he merely turned around, unscathed by the searing inferno.
Sasuke: It's that chakra cloak, isn't it? Able to return the force of taijutsu back to the sender and you're invunerable to ninjutsu, even at Amatratsu's power, aren't you?
???: Um, yes.
Sasuke: Tsukuyomi!
The man found himself within the 'walls' of the most powerful genjutsu in the world. He was strapped to a slab of concrete, exactly as in Kakashi's first trip to the Tsukuyomi relam. But the man slipped out of his bindings and took a step forwards, shattering the genjutsu.
Sasuke: One hundred and fifty percent immune to genjutsu as well, I see. No matter, you must have a weak point!
Sasuke charged a Chidori, and the man simply stood still, waiting for the balst.
Sasuke: CHIDORI!
Sasuke ran as fast as he could and seemingly pierced the man, but upon further inspection, Sasuke's hand went right through him as though he wasn't even there. Sasuke stood in shock, his hand through the mysterious man with no damage to him at all. The man stood there and smiled.
???: My turn.
He rose a finger to the sky. Sasuke's eyes widened with absolute fear as he began to figure out what was going on. His next word was barely a whisper.
Sasuke: No.
???: Yes. KIRIN!
The massive collection of lightning smashed through ceiling of the base, nearly destroying all of the top layer (the Bijuu collection statue is in the bottom layer). When the smoke cleared, Sasuke was barely upright, on one knee, using his sword to keep himself up. And the man was completely unaffected.
Sasuke: WHO ARE YOU!?!?!?
???: I am your worst nightmare.
The combined Black & White Zetsu rose out of the ground to see what had happened.
Zetsu: What's going on here!? Sasuke, who is this?
Sasuke: Leave-
Sasuke swallowed his own blood comming up his throat.
Sasuke: Leave now, Zetsu! He's immune to genjutsu; even Tsukuyomi! All ninjutsu does nothing; not even Amatratsu! He repels taijutsu, and if you hit him with an element, he can return that element to you in the form of your most powerful jutsu in that element!
???: So the Uchiha clan is a smart clan; I didn't tell you anything.
Zetsu: Let me try something!
Zetsu disappeared underground with his 'Mayfly' technique. Then he came up directly under the mysterious man and pierced his chakra cloak. The man realized this quickly and shot Zetsu away with a chakra blast, but not before Zetsu could plant a few spores.
Zetsu: There, now we can leave and let my spores kill him. Slowly, and painfully.

C: Are you two watching this!?
Shinto: I know, this is amazing!
Gredon landed on the branch next to the other sensors.
Gredon: Kyden called me here?
Kyden: Yes, we need you to look down there, only look, and read their lips for us. We need to know what's going on!
Gredon sighed.
Gredon: So I've been demoted to a translater, eh? Fine, I suppose.

Sasuke attempted to warp away with his new Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan powers, and Zetsu attempted to get away with his Mayfly technique, but the man had one final ace that would take care of them and the Zetsu spores.
???: Not so fast! Absolute Chakra Absorbtion!
The man with the chakra cloak rose, and it didn't take a sensor to see the chakra leaving Sasuke and Zetsu to go to the man. Neither of them could believe their eyes. The man absorbed every last bit of their chakra, to a point where Sasuke couldn't even use his most basic Sharingan, and then landed on the ground. But he landed without the cloak. As he was absorbing their chakra, his cloak was being absorbed into himself as well, crushing the Zetsu spores into pure chakra and absorbing that. The man stood in the open, looking from Sasuke to Zetsu and back.
Sasuke: Without that chakra cloak, you're nothing!
???: Actually, where I come from,
The man pulled out his sword and got into a quick moving stance.
???: they call me a taijutsu god!
The man sped with inhuman speed to Sasuke, kicking his sword out from under him and smashing him into what remained of a wall. Then he was behind Zetsu in the blink of an eye, without chakra propulsion. He cut off the right plant-thing sticking out from Zetsu's shoulders and kicked him to join Sasuke.
???: Face it. Without your chakra, you're nothing.
The man cracked his neck.
???: But without my chakra, I'm-
The man was inturrupted by a strong wind, created by the swirling of chakra next to him. When the wind died down, he was in the presence of what everyone except the man in blue knew to be, Madara Uchiha...

Is that a good or bad thing? And remember, he's about to fight Madara without his chakra cloak. But, if you think he's overpowered already, just wait a few chapters, I swear he gets more powerful.

As you've probably guessed, he can't use summonings because he can't get his own blood and perform jutsu at the same time. That's as big a hint as I'm giving (it also won't come for a few chapters).
