Raika glared deep into his eyes. Smiling. "So, You've heard of my clans technique hmm?" He smiled. Raika searched Karasu's mind. He could find nothing. Raika was in a slight state of panic in his head. "There is nothing here! Thats crazy..." Raika though. With drawing. Raika had gained quite a few new techinques from his eyes. Raika formed several seals. "Kujirame Style: Veil Of Darkness." He uttered. This technique made a thick black fog appear in the enemies eyes. It played on the sense of sight. Raika grinned waiting for his moment. He formed a single seal while the dark consumed Karasu's eyes. He created a clone. He gave it an exploding tag. It used the "Earth Style: Head Hunter Jutsu". It slowly crept through the ground slowly so not to be detected. "Well....Since this could lead to your death. I will tell you my name. I am Raika of the Kujirame clan." He shouted. Raika took a battle stance and prepared for some type of onslaught.

"Raika eh?", replied Karasu, as his sight began to fog up, not a problem. He's learned to live in the night, so something such as this, will only deter him very little. But considering his opponent's skill, this could even up the fight, within the minute, he felt his ankles being grabbed, that earth jutsu again.

"So... You fog my vision, let me warn you though, I'm equally deadly with... or without my vision", he said. He exaggerated that of course, since without his vision, attacking is much harder, but when it comes to defence, his vision is not necessary.

Raika grinned. "Boom." An eruption from under Karasu came. The clone was carrying an explosive tag. Raika often did this as a counter technique. When a clone was attacked it would explode and do severe damage rather then just puff away in some lame smoke.

Raika wondered if this had done anything. Or if it was a clone like earlier. If it was a clone. Raika was completely screwed. He was out in the open with his back unwatched. "Tokalu better have my back." He thought. The earth around them was still altered to an bunch of unnatural colors. Raika looked on hoping this was it.

Tokalu, who had been trying to come up with a way to help raika, watched as karasu's vision was smoked up. If I try to zip in and knock him out while he cant see me it could leave him as an easy target but ill have to mask my presence Tokalu thought as he began surpressing his chakra, but as tokalu went to dash he felt an oddfluxation in his chakra fallowed by a horrible pain. This left raika to take on karasu and he would have to. Whats going on tokalu thought. The pain he was feeling had slowly seeped through his whole body. Tokalu had a strong body but a comparibly weak heart from his constant speed. Everyone had warned him that he needed to slow down and not be at a constant fast pace, but he had never listened. His clan had a long line of short lived shinobi all becasue of the speed factor. The fact that he was still loosing blood from the wound on his foot wasnt helping either. All tokalu could do now was watch the fight and pray that raika could win and that the pain would just wear off. I cant die here and I cant let this guy get away tokalu thought as he forced himself to his feet.

ooc: just a small twist....I had an idea and ran with it lol

[ichijin]

Sent right into the air... Not bad... Not bad at all, maybe he'll really have fun with this guy. His senses quickly became sharp, all but his vision, for it cannot see. His ears, could hear the wind in it's softest breeze, the wings of birds, beating on the wind, the sound out movement itself. His sense were perfect, it was almost as if he could see. But he couldn't for his senses aren't as quick as his eyes, he'll be more inaccurate, but still extremely dangerous.

"So your name's Raika? You're pretty good",

in a moment, he landed, then making a couple of clones attack Raika from behind, once those clones get destroyed, another two will come from wherever his back is face, since he can't see, he made an extra clone, well hidden elsewhere. And using that clone as a receptor, he is able to get feedback on his opponent, and thus, coordinate his attack this way. After the clones get destroyed a couple of times, he'll have found some sort of weakness, and of course using the receptor clone. Apparently, his receptor clone gave feedback on the other person getting up. So just in case, he made another one in a more hidden location. The first was in the trees, and the other had a sort of camoflauge jutsu activated. It's a Tsurugi Clan art, invisible death jutsu.

Well, when the weakness is exploited, he'll carry out a one hit kill strike. Though, maybe not kill, this guy could probably serve as extra entertainment in the future.

Damnit hes getting bombarded tokalu thought. He was barely on his feet but he had to do something. Tokalu pushed the pain to the back of his mind and pulled his katana. Making a quick dash he took out a handful of clones and met back to back with raika and began covering him. "Sorry it took me so long" tokalu managed to say forcing the words out through the pain. Every move he made hurt terribly but tokalu wasnt going to let down his partner and he wasnt going to let this guy win. Whatever was happening to his body was either going to kill him or have to wait to be settled at the end of the fight. Crap they just keep comeing tokalu thought as he saw another set of clones appear How long is he going to keep this up?

[GenjutsuGaara]

Raika looked around and formed a massive chain of seals. He looked around as he had done so. "Come on! COME ON YOU IDIOT!! FASTER!" He thought to himself angerly. Raika should have probably paid more attention in his shinobi school about seals. Raika was rather sloppy but much faster then normal. He reached his hand into the ground. "EARTH STYLE JUTSU: MOUNTAIN RANGE!!!" He shouted. He lifted his arm from the ground. At that moment. The earth shook and several huge mountains formed themselves. Raika and Tokalu on one. Karasu on the other. Raika huffed and puffed. He was running out of Chakra. "Alright...I gotta get him this time." He thought. Raikas color changing techinque wore off. The Veil Of Darkness was still in effect. Raika was sweating heavily. He grinned though. The smile never left his face. He was ready to give his life to finish this guy off.

[ichijin]

The mountain range... Heh, not bad, but from his receptor clones who were on the other mountains, he was sweating and running out of energy. He can outlast him, or finish this quickly. Well, outlasting him may prove to be the best in this situation, but his lack of vision which was of course, temporary, would make finishing this quick the best option. In in instant, the clones that retained from the mountain range jutsu started to charge up the mountain, their target, Raika. After that, he'll input extra chakra into making a clone, to use the Swoop jutsu, tripling it's speed, and striking Raika, he'll feel the pain of the strike, but he'll take not physical damage. Following that up, he'll get another clone, while he's flinched from the strike, the strike straight down the middle, from behind, the blade's path aligned with the spine, to make maximum pain. He'll of course feel pain, but in reality, nothing actually happened.

OoC: Warning. Long post detected. o_O

Raika looked across the mountain range he had just created. His eyes began to pain, his body weakening, and sweat poured down his face. Raika was using everything he had. Raika had this one last plan. And if this didn't work. He was as good as dead. He would only be a sitting target. And so began his elborate plan to finish of Karasu. The most powerful and greatest opponent to date.

Raika created 10 clones with extreme difficulty. He nodded and they all sunk into the ground quickly. Again, the Head Hunter Jutsu. Except they went all the way over to the other mountain with Karasu on it. Raika formed a single seal and looked at the mountain he was on. It began to alter itself to unnatural colors and changed its physical form. From rock to water and even some parts were ice. Raika looked across at the mountain that Karasu was on and changed it. It began to warp and morph itself to a snow covered mountain. Raika's eyes began to bleed. Raika knew he was becoming blind. He looked at his hands. They were touching but he couldn't feel them. His sense of feeling was gone already. He knew this was happening much faster then it was supposed to for a couple reasons. 1, he was nearly out of chakra. 2, he's had the Kuragan on constantly ever since he first acquired it.

Raika looked across the vision blurred heavily. He could hardly see what was what now. His eyes continued to bleed and cause him pain. By now the clones should have been in place. 5 of them were on the top. To loosen the snow. 5 were spread out through the mountain to prevent escape. He knew Karasu could probably see right through all this. He was just as deadly blind as he was anything else. Raika formed a single seal. Many explosions rang from Karasu's mountain. He could see the snow starting to travel down the moutain. He saw a few explosions on the side he could see. The mountain began to crumble from the explosions. Which was something Raika didn't plan on. There were too many in one spot and on one side. The mountain began to rumble. He watched. Hoping his final desperate attempt could kill Karasu.

[Naomi]

Damnit...why cant I be useful Tokalu thought as he watched on the mountain with raika. Raika was getting to the point that he was dangerously low on chakra. Then there was a series of explosions and the mountain karasu was on began to crumble. At the same time Tokalu noticed two of karasu's clones had moved in and were comeing with lightning speed. Tokalu blocked and destroyed one but the other got past him. What ever is happening to me its slowing me down too he thought as he went after the other clone trying his best to cover for raika. "Raika" tokalu said "If your attack fails were going to have to run and re-group. It wont do any good if we just die here" tokalu finished. He already had an escape plan. He would grab raika and use his time lapse jutsu to freeze time and everything but himself and raika. Once they had enough distance to not be found by karasu they would unfreeze time, rest, then come back after him. Its a workable plan tokalu thought But it might kill me in this state. Deep down tokalu was hoping that raikas attack would work so they wouldnt have to run but he had a bad feeling already.
