A quest for acceptance

Poofing the hand dissapeared as did the snake as an Oshi popped out of the ground a few yards from Tsumi.

Tsumi's clones shot their palms forward, attempting to bind the Oshi. Five of the Tsumi's and the original stood ready, however, and prepared to launch a jutsu.

((how many clones do you have right now...I lost count))

Testing the stretchability of the Tsumi's arms Oshi jumped backwards staying out of reach at all times and then making a hand seal he fired a series of 100 Sound Bullets at Tsumi.

((20 since you didn't destroy any.))

Tsumi attempted to dodge the bullets, left with numerous superficial cuts. As the last of the bullets came near, the five tsumi's that had stayed back created a barrier for tsumi, being destroyed in the process. The remaining clones revealed kunai as they hurled their arms forward, attempting to cut oshi. If oshi were to jump out of range the clones would simply throw the kunai the rest of the way.

As the Kunai approached Oshi clapped his hands a shock wave of sound shooting out blocking the kunai as Oshi made a few hand signs, three clones popping up next to him as a dragon of mud sprouted from the ground firing mud at Tsumi.

((14 left.))

Tsumi used his own clone as a substitution, appearing a bit away and firing a kunai. The other 14 clones began fighting oshi and his clones, hand-to-hand.

Ducking under a clone one of the Oshi's kicked him upwards and the clone struck the incoming kunai blocking it and poofing the clone. Two of Oshi's clones were destroyed in the first attack and Oshi and his last clone held off the rest, killing 7 before the last clone poofed and Oshi was forced to defeat the last clones by himself. Pulling a kunai from his arm Oshi spoke out to Tsumi "Ahhh a direct attack...might have worked against another but not me...lets try it on you" Making a series of hand signs 100 clones appeared around Tsumi surrounding him as three more appeared around Oshi all holding large bells.

Tsumi thought fast, weaving handseals and cutting his finger on his tooth. He gave the blood as a sacrafice, and from a large poof of smoke came a nearly 20' tall, brown and black, snake. The snake began using it's tail to attack the clones, keeping Tsumi a safe distance up.

20 of the clones were destroyed and then 30 more by the snakes swinging tail. The other clones evading its swipes attempted to attack Tsumi throwing kunai.

Tsumi removed five arrows from his bow, the arrows being completely enveloped in chakra. They became spinning disks of chakra, flying by Tsumi's command to deflect the kunai. Once the kunai had been launched back down they hovered by Tsumi, waiting. While this was happening, Tsumi's snake still lashed out, knocking clones away when they got too close.

Spreading out the remaining 50 clones kept as far away from the snake as possible. Then surging forward a group of 20 ran at the snake while another ran from the other direction at Tsumi.

Tsumi removed his five-section staff, using it as a whip to attempt to ward off the clones as the snake fought it's own. He battered the clones coming after him, destroying ten before they got close. He now used the staff as a regular staff, fending off the other ten Oshi's.

Well...this kid has some skill...I will take it up one more notch...after that if he seems fit he can work with me...Oshi thought while all of his clones but the ones around him were destroyed. Slowly walking toward Tsumi Oshi and his clone did hand signs the whole way preparing to test Tsumi a final time.

Tsumi noticed oshi's movements and took a defensive stance. He raised his staff at an angle over his head, infusing it with chakra as a defense.

Rushing in toward Tsumi the Oshi's come to a stop 15 feet away from him holding their bells and stopping their hand signs. A wave of vibrations sped at Tsumi as the Oshi's pointed their hands at him.

Name: The Coming of Darkness
Rank: S
Range: 0-10 yards
Effect: The user uses vibrations to stimulate the targets optic nerves making them temporarily blind. This blindness will fade away eventually but can not be countered. If the vibrations touch the eyes of the target the target is blinded.

Tsumi quickly jumped as far back as possible. Pulling his punji out, he played an extremely high-pitched note to block out the vibrations from the genjutsu, sadly that failed. So instead he relied on his snake, allowing it to lead him to Oshi, swinging his staff as a chain, wildly trying to find Oshi. He warped the point into a hook to attempt to snag Oshi.

Jumping out of range of the hook the Oshi's circled Tsumi to and talked in turn to throw him off. Front "Now"...back "We shall"...left "See"...right "How you work with your main sensory organ incapacitated...the ultimate test"

Tsumi listened carefully, attempting to find the real oshi. He finally gave up and spiraled the staff all around himself, extending it so that it went a little farther than where he thought Oshi would be due to his voice. This should impact on at least two of the Oshi's. The snake attempted to bite one of the Oshi's in the back.

Two of the Oshis poofed and only two remained, one behind Tsumi and one in front of him. "What are you going to do?" the Oshi in front of Tsumi asked while taking a step backwards slowly "You can't tell what I am...how will you survive...if I was a real enemy right now you would be done for unless you could take care of the situation"

"That's why I have friends." Tsumi said calmly, the snake curling in around Tsumi as a barrier, it's head going for one Oshi and it's tail for another.

Jumping sideways the Oshi's dodge the snakes attack "Well played..." they said "But can you attack yourself?" the other asked as it flashed out and then in appearing next to Tsumi punching with a purple fist at his gut.

Tsumi chuckled as the staff wrapped around him, warping to protect him as if it were a snake itself. Then, one end warped into a spearhead, stabbing forward toward the oshi that had attacked. The snake's head and tail went for the other oshi.

The other Oshi nimbly dodged again staying out of the way of Tsumi's snakes as the Other hit the head of the spear crushing the metal. Spinning it swung its left leg up aiming a spinning back kick at Tsumi's head "That was very well played" it said "You might even be good enough for me to train"

"Thank you." Tsumi said, pulling the staff together to block the kick. He did so a little too slowly, being bumped in the head, but not heavily enough to inflict serious damage. He warped the staff around Oshi's leg, catching it there so that Tsumi could begin sucking his chakra away.

Jutsu Used~
Chakra Kyuuin Jutsu - Chakra Absorption Technique

Chakra Kyuuin Jutsu is a special Ninjutsu techinque used by the Leaf ninja Yoroi. After activitating the technique, Yoroi's hand will glow with chakra. When he touches his palm on his opponents body, he can withdraw the physical and spiritual energy out of them. By reducing their chakra, it greatly increases his advantage over his opponent.

Feeling his chakra being drained Oshi smiled at the smarts of his opponent "Well played" he said, wincing, but overcoming it to pull his other leg up wrapping it around Tsumi's head and twisting his hips attempting to throw him to the ground as the other Oshi sat back watching.
