Saruno's Dealthy Bloodshed; Dark Oblivion -ORPGDM-

OOC: This is open to one person who would like to take on Saruno, in a total berserk state of mind. Note: Yuui is in his possession, and has about 3 or more new techniques to kick ass with, so i advise only good battles would be nice. :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A gentle breeze swept by the trees of the forest around Saruno's figure, his black cloak swaying with it's gentle nature. He wasn't all that amused with it's nice, and windy breeze, just the cooling wind against his face. His expression was tucked away in shadow under his hat, shading it from the sun above him. The rays of the sun were slightly blocked out by a few clouds in the sky, only to be brush by in mere moments of time. His blade was safely perched on his back, glowing with a slight amount of chakra, yet almost burning through to him. He was immensely angered, yet his emotions didn't show it, only the sensation of the Yuui blade sensed his anger, and showed it, itself.

Sliding his left palm forward, he called upon a small amount of chakra to his left palm, letting it surge into a small sphere in the center of that palm. It was simply swirling, not all so fast, nor slow. It was in a constant motion of a pure cycle, yet then his memories began to flash before his eyes. Fires, Bloodshed, his friends and family dying before his eyes. The chakra sphere began to turn black as his left eye turned the iris into a black kind of shade, his hair doing the same. Only with Saruno's hair, it had a small white streak flowing down the center. A burst of wind overcame his form, blasting off the hat from his head, and showing the change of color with ease. The blade on his back simply burned with chakra, surging in many other directions. This was going to be big, on a big scale of mind.

as the wind continued to blow about the area, a small silver bird shot in from the west and landed on saruno's shoulder, indicating that its owner was not far behind. sure enough, a moment later the bird turned its head the way it came and saw zodiark coming over the small hill, the sun low in the sky behind him. as he neared saruno a large breeze picked up behind him, blowing the flowing end of his coat around his side and out in front of him. as he got closer, he stopped about 6m from saruno and calmly said "glad to see you are keeping yourself occupied, but i have come here for a purpose" he held out his hand and whistled to call his bard back to him, who than landed on his hand "i like to make sure that all of my subordinates maintain a certain level of power, less they fall out of practice and fail during an important mission"

"Well Zodiark-sama..." Saruno began to say, shifting his gaze to him with a dark intention. "I'm not weak like most of the other akatsuki, i possess power beyond you humans..." he let his emotionless expression stay where it was, simply to let his body vanish in a burst of leaves. He wasn't all so interested in fighting the Akatsuki leader, but it was time to show him what he had up his sleeve. Sliding his right palm forward, and his left palm with the sphere to the right, it began to grow in power. He appeared high above a tree on the forest's edge, his wings floating out to let him float in that area. He was charging something big. Really big.

"you think i am simply just another mortal, don't make me laugh, i am Zodiark, Keeper of Precepts. you will not compare me to these other peons" he reached into his cloak with his right arm and pulled it out with his dual hound, two pistons that shoot forward with nearly 1 ton of force each and discharge an electrical shock when used. flipping the trigger forward into his hand, he motioned with his left hand for saruno to come

"Who said i thought you were a simple mortal?" Saruno said within a sarcastic kind of voice. He wasn't all so amused with his words, nor at Zodiark's, but it was something he had to deal with. Sliding his blade from it's sheath, a massive wave of power ripped through the area, shattering several trees around him with the utmost ease. He saw him move his hand in a reaction for him to come, but he didn't. He kept his space until the blade at his side burned with a dark amount of chakra, letting it give off a strong chakra presence.

smiling zodiark began taunting saruno "did someone open a window, feels a bit drafty in here" as he joking looked around him as his coat violently flung around him from the pressure saruno was giving off

Saruno simply let the darkness of the blade raise along with his arms. Both palms were grasping the blade now, the sphere of chakra being instantly absorbed into the blade with ease. "If you want to see true power..." he began, sliding the sword higher in the sky, "Then I'll show you power!!!" he shouted. He slashed the blade downwards as a massive wave of chakra blasted into the forest below, and created a massive slash of chakra aiming for Zodairk. It was bigger than about half the size of a mountain and it slashed through the forest below like nothing was there, only to gain power as it went along.

zodiark smiled and slid his left arm into his coat and pulled out a fully sheathed sword. as he held the sword out in front of him, he grabbed the hilt with his right hand and drew the sword saying "is that all you got" than waited for the wave to get closer to him, as it was about a foot from where he help the sword in in front of him, he slammed the sword into the sheath with such speed and power that it created a miniature sonic boom, displacing the wave of chakra in front of him, causing it to simply flow around him as he mockingly said "would you like to take another crack at that"

"Of course..." Saruno said, moving his left palm to the waves of chakra flowing around Zodiark, "Yet you forget i can manipulate chakra to my pleasing and alter it to one of my elemental abilities..." he continued, sliding the chakra around him into a lightning-elemental chakra. "Ranmyaku Shitsunen!!" he shouted, watching the lightning surge forth around Zodiark in patterns unimaginable, attempting to impact on him from all sides. It would be nearly impossible to deflect, dodge, or avoid with all that chakra around him.

continuing to smile, zodiark quickly stepped forward to the lightning in front of him and pressed his hand against the oncoming lightning as it began to simply just flow into his arm, pulling the rest of the lightning around him towards his palm too. "really using lightning against me" after all of the lightning was absorbed he cringed slightly before flipping through a few handseals and thrusting bothe his palms into open space sa the light began to shoot out of his hands and form into 10 raiton kage bunhins "now go my little clones and have some fun" as the 10 clones each drew their swords and quickly charged at saruno as zodiark slowly began to walk forward behind them

*Raiton Kage Bunshin no Jutsu - Lightning Element Shadow Clone Technique
Because it is a Kage Bunshin, the Raiton version shares the ability to interact with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. If the Raiton Kage Bunshin is injured, the clone will revert into its natural lightning state. Like in other Lightning Element attacks, should the target come into contact with the electricity, they will be momentarily stunned.

*Redirect lightning
A-rank
when a lightning based attack is directed at the user he/she can channel it down their arm, down the rib cage, into the stomach, and out the same way but on the other side, allowing the user to aim the lightning in a different direction

Saruno let up a small smirk as he shifted the blade back into it's nice sheath. There was no need for it. Sliding his right palm forward, he pulsed a massive surge of regular chakra around to the clones, attempting to disrupt their forms with ease. It was a powerful assault, and it was time he showed much more power than he was going to do something more. "Well, it seems there's another Raiton master around these parts, i was feeling a bit lonely..." he said in a mocking sort of tone. Moving his left palm along with the pulsing right, the pulse increased, pounding through the ground in massive waves of power. It was his manipulation power, no technique, just skill.

as the clones disappeared into a large static zodiark continued to walk forward. "and i don't consider myself a raiton master, i'm more of a close combat specialist" he crouched a little bit than jumped up at saruno, closing the distance between them in an instant as he pulled back his right arm than punched forward at saruno's chest and activating the pistons in his dual hound

Saruno quickly vanished in a moment's notice, narrowly avoiding the impact to his stomach. 'That would of been fatal if that hit me, but i'm glad i got away in time' he thought to himself, appearing on the other end of the field, still in the sky. He was trying to avoid Zodiark's attacks as much as possible, and hoped for the best, instead of the worst injuries he would face. But this wasn't much of a time for complaining. "Well i am sorta a master of hand-to-hand combat, but only on one certain state!"

seeming to float in mid air for a few seconds zodiark turned and faced saruno "well now, why not show me than, now is not the time to hold back in a fight" he slowly began to float down towards the trees, landing on the top of one, the tree bending so little it seemed as if he weren't even standing on it

Saruno simply floated to the ground, his feet softly landing onto it. A small breeze swept over the landing point, as his wings began to fold upon his back, "Then i shall leader..." he said, shifting his left arm forward, and his right arm backwards. He was preparing the technique he used to defeat a creature hundreds of times his size.

zodiark began walking down the tree as if it were a spiral staircase, the branches beneath him barely bending under him, never taking his eyes off saruno. as he got to the last few branches, he was still about 7 feet off the ground, and simply jumped down out of the tree. as he landed on the ground, he slid his right leg forward, and his left leg behind him as he grabbed the hilt of his sword with his right hand and waited for saruno

Saruno began to flow with massive amounts of chakra, beginning to crack the ground with the slightest ease. It was going to be big, bigger than anything he had ever done before. Opening a seal before any other. "Natsuin Dankai..." he began to say, letting a small seal begin to form around his feet, then growing to the area, covering trees, plants, and even the ground in a glowing red seal. It was one of his greatest techniques. "Natsuin Sangai!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------

-Third Stage: Seal of Havoc - Natsuin Sangai -
Rank: B
Description: After setting the Seal of Destruction down, the seal will further enlarge to a diameter of 30 meters, increasing power to over 8 fold, causing major damage to the muscular system and chakra network after the use. Utilizing the abilities of the First stage, the user can cast more powerful channels of chakra blasts, more fierce than the last.

sliding his feet slightly, he tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword and said "bring it on"

The bottom of Saruno's feet began to glow with a small blue aura, then a small smirk arose on his expression, "As you wish..." he said, vanishing from sight. He appeared above Zodiark, about 6 meters above his head, his right palm raised to the sky, then charging down to him. Small swirls of seals began to surge around it, charging the right palm's power beyond it's limits, making it glow with a deep blue color, "Let me show you real power!!"

looking up, zodiark changed his stance slightly, narrowing the distance between his legs, making it easier in any direction and adjusting the position of his arm so he can quickly draw the sword upwards towards saruno and waited for saruno to actually attack

Saruno's form instantly vanished with the power of the seals around the area, appearing just under the arm of Zodiark. It was a simple tactical force, switch from place to place to get the terrain advantage. His right palm just burned with power, creating small marks of burned chakra on his wrist. It was painful, but he had to deal with it.

noticing that saruno had vanished from above him, with the position of his head he could see that saruno was not to his left or behind him, meaning that saruno could only be in front of him or to his right, so he immediately jumped back and to the left, trying to put space between him and saruno. as he skidded to a halt, he looked to where he just was and saw saruno, and immediately lunged forward, drawing his sword mid lung and slicing forward towards saruno's exposed chest.

'Dammit!' he thought to himself, being hit head on with the blade of Zodiarks', sliding backwards in the dirt. It was painful to be hit by such a blade with force as that. But, he couldn't give up at all. Sliding his left palm to the bloody markings on his chest, he rubbed a bit of the blood off, only to spread it out on his hands and part of his arms. With the torn cloak around him, he simply torn the entire thing off, letting it float to the ground. With his muscular form showing, he knew that he was powerful in many ways, more than one, but in one way, he was almighty. Folding his palms together, and gathering much of his stored chakra over the years, he was ready to give it his all, "Prepare yourself Zodiark-sama...for power you couldn't even imagine!!" he shouted, letting his palms form various hand seals. He was preparing something big, really big.

as he sheathed his sword and took his battojutsu stance, he said "seeing that you can take a slice like that and not be cut in two means you are strong, but something like that could have easily been dodged, meaning that you aren't as fast as i am, and that is bad" zodiark this time took two large steps, putting him about 2 feet from saruno and placing his left foot forward as drew his sword, twisting his upper body adding power to the strike as he sliced upward, threatening to slice saruno from hip to collarbone

>Ama Kakeru Ryuno Hirameki
>This technique is identified as a Battou Jutsu that leads with the left leg instead of the right leg, thereby changing the physics involed, putting the full body weight of the user into the strike, causing greater torque in the upper body from the rotation, adding to the power and momentum of the sword, and surprising the the opponent by using a low-high slash instead of a high-low slash

Saruno let up a small smirk as Zodiark came from his spot in a full-on assault to his body. He saw him attempt to slice him in half. But it wasn't all so much that he would allow that. Sliding his left palm forwards, a massive surge of chakra blasted up from the ground, shattering the earth above him to deflect any hand-to-hand combat techniques and a simple motion of his right palm let him vanish in a Shunshin no Jutsu(Body Flicker Technique). It was as easy as a tactical maneuver to lure an opponent to a trap and set it off. Before Saruno left the area of the rocks and stones, he set a small placement of condensed chakra in the rubble, ready to implode anything that touches it in a moment.

Saruno appeared on the other side of the field once more, "I can keep flickering like this Leader...and yes, i am powerful enough, but also a good master of the tactical arts of figuring out what your opponent is like" he thought back to Zodiark's words, "seeing that you can take a slice like that and not be cut in two means you are strong, but something like that could have easily been dodged, meaning that you aren't as fast as i am, and that is bad" he let up a small smirk.
