A loud 'boom' was heard and the forest shook. Trees were nearly uprooted and the branches were stripped of their leaves. The five sensors, Gredon, Santa, Shinto, C, and Ao, all braced themselves against the powerful winds. A chakra whip cut through two rows of trees nearst the Joint Shinobi Alliance's base and nearly fell on the ninja, saved by Gredon's Eight Trigrams: Rotation. When the dust cleared and the ninja lowered the their arms to see what had happened, and eery blue glow stood before them.
Gredon: That's him!
Gredon pointed at the mysterious man who had assulted his squad in the forest during their scouting mission. The man in the chakra cloak rose to his full height and spoke.
???: Hello again.
C: What do you want from us now?
Shinto: I told you he was following us.
Gredon: And I told you he wasn't.
Shinto: Well what do you call that!?
Ao: Enough, gentlemen.
Ao turned to face the mysterious man who had cut down at least twenty tree's with a single swipe of his arm.
Ao: May I ask you your name?
???: As I have told these four and the one with the dogs, I have no name.
Ao: Then how would you like me to refer to you?
???: How would you like to refer to me?
Santa: He's doing it again!
Ao: Quiet, Yamanka. It does not matter to us how we refer to you-
???: Nor does it matter to I how you refer to me.
Ao: May we simply refer to you with non-specific terms, such as 'him', or 'that ninja'?
???: If you wish.
Ao: Alright.
Ao studied the man before him from head to foot carefully.
Ao: Are you on 'our' side, or 'their' side?
???: I know not of what you mean.
Ao leaned closer to Gredon to speak privatly with him.
Ao: You didn't mention that he speaks in riddles.
Gredon: I never imagined you would be speaking to him. His voice also acts like a genjutsu; you can't concetrate on more than one thing at a time. Santa fell out of a tree when he tried to talk and maintain his balance.
Ao: I see...
Ao stood upright and spoke to the chakra-cloaked man again.
Ao: You say that you know not of what I mean?
???: Correct.
Ao: Then allow me to elaborate. There is a massive war going on, were you aware of that?
???: A war would certantly explain the loud noises and lack of solitude in my previously uninhabited forest.
Ao: So you weren't aware of that until now?
???: I had my suspicions, but I was not completely sure until now.
Ao(To himself): My gosh this will be difficult.
Ao: Well, there are two sides, and two sides only to this war. One side is 'us'. We are the Joint Shinobi Alliance; we are the culmination of all of the ninja in our world who have risen up to defend the Jinchuriki and defeat the evil Akatsuki threat. Do you know what the Akatsuki are?
???: I have no clue, but could you go back to the 'Jinchuriki' part?
Ao: You don't even know what a Jinchuriki is!?
???: A type of ninja?
Ao: Oh, my- Do you know what a 'Bijuu' is?
???: Bijuu?
Ao: A TAILED-BEAST, MAN! My word, if you don't know what that is, I'll-
???: Shukaku.
Everyone went silent. Ao stopped his rant and pacing and stared at the man over his shoulder. By now, the children who were taken to the Joint Shinboi Alliance base were peaking around buildings, trying to see what was going on, while staying in a safe location.
Ao: Yes. Shukaku, the one-tailed Tanuki, is one of the seven Bijuu in the possesion of the Akatsuki. A Jinchuriki is a host to a Bijuu; we have sealed the tailed-beasts into ninja and they can use their powers to increase their own. The two Jinchuriki that haven't been captured by the Akatsuki and had their Bijuu's extraced are Killer Bee Yotsuki, and Naruto Uzumaki; hosts of the eight and nine-tails, respectivly. Did any of that make sense to you?
???: You've managed to seal the nine Bijuu into ninja; increadable. I find it ironic that the last two numbers in the chain are the last two that these, 'Akatsuki' have yet to capture.
Ao: Yeah, yeah, yeah; halarious. We have a good laugh at it every day, about noon, you just missed it. Anything else make sense to you?
???: Hmmm... Did you say 'Uzumaki'?
Ao: Yes...
???: As in, Mito Uzumaki?
Shinto: Mito Uzumaki! Isn't that-?
Ao: -Naruto's grandmother; not quite, but she's pretty close. Did you know Mito Uzumaki, or do you merely know of her?
???: I knew Mito; I attended her wedding with Hashirama! On the grooms side, though.
The five sensory ninjas stood in shock. Not only were they standing in the presence of an impossible threat, but they were also standing in the presence of an ancient threat.
Ao: You must be centuries old!
???: I sleep alot. And when I'm awake, I excersize and eat right.
C had a pen in his right hand and was writing on the other.
C: Wait. When you say that you 'sleep alot', do you mean twelve hours a day, sleep one day, stay awake the next day, what?
???: I will usually sleep for about five years, and stay awake constanly for one.
Everyone's mouth dropped.
C: You're joking, right? 'Cause, I don't think I'm allowed to take five years off, even if it is to attain a life long enough to see the end of this war.
???: Enough of your nonsense.
The man turned back to Ao.
???: You seem to be these people's leader, so I'm only going to adress you for now. When you were talking earlier, you asked if I was with you or 'them'. Who was 'them'?
Ao: The Akatsuki, which I was also talking about earlier.
???: Okay... But could you be a little more specific?
Ao: Alright... You seem to know quite a bit about the Uzumaki's, how much do you know about the Uchiha's?
???: Realtivly little.
Ao: This'll be fun. Well, the leader of the Akatsuki is known as 'Madara Uchiha'. Ring any bells?
???: Nope.
Ao: He fought Hashirama.
Shinto: Just move on; you're waisting all of our time.
Ao: Fine. Madara has two ancient powers at his personal disposal; the Uchiha's Sharingan, and the Rinnegan.
???: I know a slight overview on both.
Ao: Oh really? Good. He has the Sharingan in his right eye, and the Rinnegan in his left. Working for him is another Uchiha; Sasuke. Know him?
???: No.
Ao: Well, Sasuke is serving under Madara and has unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan, like his superior, and, as we have recently learned, has also obtained an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan we can only guess came from his older brother, Itachi Uchiha. As with the normal Mongekyo, Madara has the Eternal Mangekyo as well, but he has not seen fit to put it into battle yet, making us all the more paranoid.
???: Mangekyo and Eternal Mangekyo I have never heard of.
Ao: It's a stronger Sharingan, that's basically what you need to know. Now, you're not working for either of them, are you?
???: No.
Ao: Then we move on to the one we call 'Kabuto Yakushi'.
???: Never heard of him.
Ao: Of course you haven't. He has absorbed his master, Orochimaru, and can now use all of his jutsu and abilities. He has a snake-like appearance, and our last know spies that have returned alive say that he has a snake protruding from the back of his robes. He had summoned an army of reanimated ninja who cannot be killed unless you seal their souls or bind their movement permanently. He's a nasty bugger, and right now a bigger threat than Madara. Are you working for a man of such description?
???: Never seen a man of such description, or any ninja with the description of the 'reanimated ninja' you speak of.
Ao: Well then, we have the last member of the Akatsuki. They call him Zetsu- Don't say anything! I already know that you haven't heard of him. Now, he has a black half, and a white half. These halves can split up and do separate activities. The white half has created thousands of clones, and they are near impossible to destroy! The black halves powers are still undetermined. When they are one entity, they grow a venus-fly-trap-like surrounding from their shoulders around thier head. Working for anyone with that description?
???: And I thought the snake guy was odd.
Ao: I see...
???: Well, since you have given me so much information, I suppose I should give you some back.
Ao: Alright...
???: First off, I refuse to pick a side in this war; I'll maintain my status as 'neutral'.
Ao: Seriously?
???: Seriously. But, what I will do is tell you exactly what my External Chakra Flow Jutsu does. Ready? First of all, I'll start with taijutsu. My chakra cloak stops taijutsu, including weapons, in it's tracks and returns the exact amount of force excerted onto it, back into the user; you four saw and extreme case where the force returned to the dog-man's sword actually caused it to snap in half. And then with ninjutsu, I really have two abilities. If it's elemental ninjutsu, my cloak absorbs it and allows me to use that element up to whoever used it on me's most powerful jutsu in the element for two and a half hours. If it's simply a chakra-based ninjutsu, such as your friends chakra scalple, my cloak absorbs it and adds it to my own chakra stream, which also increases my physical abilities. My cloak also allows me to walk straight through a genjutsu; so far there hasn't been a genjutsu I haven't been able to walk through.
C: I'd like to see you walk through Tsukuyomi.
Ao: Quite, C. How can you do this; when does this jutsu wear off?
???: By forcing my chakra nodes to the outside of my body, my chakra flows around me, creating this 'shield'. It only wears out when I run out of chakra, or I force my nodes back in.
Sure enough, when Ao activated his Byakugan and looked hard enough, he saw small rings, the width of chakra nodes, on his cloak where the chakra nodes should've been on the inside of his body.
Gredon: Or I force them in!
Ao: Gredon!
Gredon: Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palm!
Just before Gredon could make his first strike, a burst of chakra came from the man's chakra cloak that sent him flying.
???: Another thing about my chakra cloak; it's a very acurate sensory type jutsu. It's even more advanced than you're Byakugan, Hyuuga.
Ao: I'm not a Hyuuga.
???: I knew that; I was adressing my attacker. You're chakra is different than a Hyuuga's, and yet you have the Byakugan. An eye transfer, perhaps? No, don't answer, I honestly don't care. But my cloak allows me to see all chakra around me, and while I can't see through walls, I can sense chakra that is behind a wall. In fact, I can fight a person once, and the next time I fight them, I can reconize their chakra patterns and through that, remember their fighting styles. My sensory abilities are so advanced, that I can even see what your Byakugan can see, what it can't see, and even where your focal point is. Unfortunatly, I have only been in battle with a Byakugan, so I'm unsure wheather this would work against another dojutsu, but I am sure that it only works against dojutsu; and not normal eyes.
Ao: I see...
Ensuro: Shadow Binding Jutsu!
The Nara clan member, Ensuro, showed up at a convienient time for Gredon. He just happened to be walking by when Gredon was blasted away by the man's chakra. Gredon had convinced him to use his jutsu to paralize the mysterious man so he could block his chakra nodes and have a fair fight.
Gredon: Let's try this again! Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palm!
Gredon attacked from behind, being careful to not have his reflection shown anywhere and to hit him where his hands could reach to shoot him again. But just before his first strike, the chakra around the man's back exploded and shot Gredon back to where he came.
Ao: You missed the part where he can see everything.
???: You also missed that I can launch chakra from any point on my body; simmilar to your Gentle Fist attack.
Ensuro: Well, my shadow bind jutsu worked, so let's try another.
???: I wouldn't push my luck, if I were you.
Ensuro: Shadow Sewing Jutsu!
???: Or push it, what do I care?
The shadows from Gredon moved along the ground and enfused with Ao's. Then the two shadow's, along with his own that was binding the mysterious man (at the last second) raised from the ground and pierced the man. Unfortunatly, a quick glane from his Byakugan told Gredon that his cloak was just eating the chakra.
Gredon: It's no use, he's just absorbing it.
The man quickly got out of Ensuro's range (which he could see due to his unique chakra cloak) and prepared to leave.
???: It was nice meeting you all, but I think I should go somewhere where the people are slightly less... Homicidal. Even if their attempts are fruitless.
Then the man leaped back into the forest with amazing power due to and extra boost from chakra propulsion.
Shinto: Well, looks like that's that, eh Ao?
Ao: Not quite. I'm going to assemble a group of four sensor's to go after him. Shinto, C, I want you two to be on the squad to let the other's know what they're up against incase he decideds to fight back. I'm going to need another Hyuuga and an Inuzaka; preferably Kyden, but if his dog's are out of commision...
Gredon: What about me!? I'm a head branch Hyuuga who knows what he's up against!
Ao: No. You want him dead, and that is not our mission!
Santa: What about me!? First of all, why can't I go. Second of all, I pretty much did nothing your entire conversation!
Ao: Well, I should hope you were listening. You're to inform the intel squad of what went on here. And the reason I'm not sending you, or any other Yamanka for that matter, is because this is just a searching mission; we're not trying to gather information from him. You'll be my first pick when I need a Yamanka for a mission related to 'him'. Got it?
Santa: Yes sir.
Ao: Good. We have a lot of work to do, and we should do it in as little time as possible.
A loud 'boom' was heard and the forest shook. Trees were nearly uprooted and the branches were stripped of their leaves. The five sensors, Gredon, Santa, Shinto, C, and Ao, all braced themselves against the powerful winds. A chakra whip cut through two rows of trees nearst the Joint Shinobi Alliance's base and nearly fell on the ninja, saved by Gredon's Eight Trigrams: Rotation.
