To Kill A Merchant (Akira)

Akira knew he was walking into some form of impending danger, but couldn't for the life sense where it was coming from, he knew straight off the bat that that was gonna be an issue. He quickly activated his Meigan, his pupils illuminating with a burning red. He did however catch the slightest glimpse of a Kunai about to make its' first loop around him. Akira however easily had enough time to react (145RT), channeling his Wind chakra into the sword and performing a spinning downwards slash to face the attacker the razor wire would be sliced straight off the kunai, the sharpness of the Wind-infused blade extending to also cut the razor wire that bound Coco. (245) would cut straight through the cords like a hot knife through butter, using the Meigan: Shrine of Evil Deity technique to hope to catch the man slipping. Provided the foe didn't avoid eye contact he'd be placed within a powerful genjutsu which not even the Release or the Merchant's strong chakra pool could protect him from.

Provided eye contact was made, the merchant would witness himself within a dark, bloody temple maze along with a feeling that something sinister shared this maze. Littered with splatters of blood and gore. And while this eye contact was maintained Akira slid forward at a speed of 42 to perform a diagonal slash (speed of 85) towards the merchant's midsection, which meant that provided the merchant had fallen into the genjutsu trap by peering into the little glowing fairy lights that were Akira's pupils, he'd have no escape.

Lunging forward Coco would disengage from the wire which Akira had sliced away from Coco. After the lunge she would immediately crouch to the ground, and spin 180 degrees to face the cave's waterfall entrance. Taking this low stance Coco would Drop her Kunai and Performed the Clone seal making an exact replica of herself appear on her left. Each Coco would pick up one of the Dropped Kunai.

In perfect Sync the two Coco's would slice their left thumb just enough to draw blood with their Kunai before dropping it and performing the Hand Seals for a summoning Jutsu.(100 Speed)

"Prepair to face the Glory of Lord Kasunda of the Hazy Sky, and Terror of the Amegakure Jungle!" Announced Her Clone at the top of her voice.

"Kurdoi." The OG Coco stated simply.

A twenty foot long, all black Salamander wrapped up in a bright Red Cape would appear before the Clone, and a Foot long black and blue Salamander would appear before Coco.

"Kasunda of the Hazy sky has indeed arrived Mortals! Now witness the glory of an apex predator in a battle!" With That The Twenty foot long Salamander would Charge Diagonally to his left. Charging at the merchant and at the same time moving up the cave walls to attack from the side. (Speed 15)

While he charged each Coco would pick up their dropped Kunai.

While the humble Kurdoi would hop into Coco's open hand.

At the End of the Round if everything went as planned. Coco would be Crouched Down Ten meters Behind Akira. With a Clone 1 meter to her left, with a Kunai in her right hand. While coco would have Kurdoi in her left hand, a Kunai in her right. And a large carnivorous Salamander summon by the Name of Kasunda ten meters in front, but on the left most wall of the cave.

As Merchant watched his Kunai plan foiled he would quickly bring his hands together to form the Tiger hand seal, this could mean so many different things, but he knew what he was going to do with this tiger symbol, Feathers would begin to fall, so as Akira and Coco turned to Face Merchant, the feathers would appear in their face's, Merchant knew better then to look into peoples eyes until he was ready to put certain jutsu on people, but he went with a different one, if Akira nor CoCo could find out what was happening, his genjutsu Temple of Nirvana would put them both into a Eden-Like bliss, and they would both fall into a tranquil sleep, the power of this genjutsu was 75, if both of them where locked into this Jutsu, No summons would have happened, nor would have the genjutsu Akira had tried, and even if Akira was still standing, Merchant would not look into his eyes, being a master of Genjutsu, he would only do it when he was ready, as for CoCo if she was still awake well then her summons would have to be handled if she still decided to use them, till then he had to see how they would handle the Eden they both had a chance to be introduced to

As Akira ran prepared to run forwards he noticed the appearance of a whole bunch of white feathers. Now there was no jutsu which made feathers just appear out of the blue, so it must have been some sort of illusionary technique. A genjutsu. Akira quickly performed the Tiger seal, holding his blade outwards to dispel the genjutsu using his titanic amount of chakra, it should be easy for him. He felt slightly drowsy from even the brief instant of looking at the Genjutsu. But it was no matter, he needed to advance. And a change of tactics was needed. As he was already in the tiger seal he performed it again, following up with a ram seal - materializing a clone of lightning.

Genjutsu still active in both of their eyes they'd rush forwards, the clone leaping into the air while the real Akira took ground level. Both performed three fierce slashes with their blades the clone above directing one slash downwards and two behind, using the Wind Cutter Technique for three fast and wide slashes of chakra which traveled at a speed and power of 85 - the wide strikes shredding the cave wall and ceiling, both Akiras moving at a speed of 145, with the travelling slashes hoping to restrict his movement from all directions, which would hopefully put the merchant in a terrible position where he couldn't evade them. And due to the clone being in his blindspot, if the merchant looked to see where the slashes were coming from - Akira, he would still fall within Akira's genjutsu, immobilizing him which provided he didn't move, the Wind Cutter would tear him to ribbons.

Akira got ready to strike with a fourth slash, a normal one this time if the merchant tried to run towards him to escape.

Coco yawned at the sight of Temple of Nirvana. It was a powerful genjutsu, but the obvious white feathers easily gave it away. Coco had been brushing up on her Genjutusu in preparation for this fight. She couldn't help but give a cocky smile as she the Genjutsu Release. Then again when her clone was made, and it performed the release as well. It was always good to know more about your enemy than they know about you. She smiled as the Feathers around her vanished from sight. She could still feel the tingles of the numb joy of the Genjutsu. Well a person could get addicted to that if they weren't careful.

With Nothing changing from her previous post, coco would Continue with her plan

Her clone would perform the Dog → Boar → Ram signs. Initiating a transformation into a Fuma Shuriken. She'd vanish in a puff of smoke and her Shuriken form would appear in the air.

The OG Coco would snatch her clone out of the air, while Kurdoi was on her hand. "Ready to go for a flight?" She would grab the Large Shuriken by it's safe metal ring.

"Always!" The Little salamander would announce in a chipper voice. The salamander would Curl up inside the open space of the ring, and use his sticky little fingers to grip onto it.

All ready to Go and seeing Akira's impressive attack in action Coco would throw the Shuriken to Akira's right cutting off another avenue of escape. (speed of 115)

If the Merchant managed to survive Akira's attack Coco would give the word. And Kurdoi would unleash his poison attack. Creating a cloud of gas in a 10m Radius putting to sleep anyone inhaling the gas too sleep. (If you have a health less than 30). The radius would be more than enough to cover from the entrance well into the cave.

Should the Merchant escape to the left of Akira Kasunda would unleash a poison attack with the same stats.

The Original Coco would then grab her umbrella off of her back, and prepare.

Merchant would smirk as he seen neither feel asleep, seems either they were well versed in Genjutsu, or they were sent after him and did their homework, Merchant would use the clone hand sign and make a Lightning clone at the same time he watched the body movement of Akira make his own clone, as Merchants eyes were constantly moving around, but never into peoples eyes, him and his clone would both see the clone jump, and as he did, the real Merchant would backflip up and back, exiting the cave through the waterfall, as he launched himself he was already making hand signs, and used his wind style jutsu known as , Godly Wind From the Mountains, or Kami Oroshi, and then he would push his hands outwards towards the waterfall her just jumped out of, the wind would hit the waterfall, pushing it into the cave, the water rushing in with a power of 75 from the jutsu, and a speed of 75, and as the water rushed in, the cave would be filled from wall to wall, from roof to ground, with water and wind, and as the lightning clone was right there, it would get hit by the water and disperse into lightning, the lightning now charging the water and the power output would be raised to 80 (Going by highest power out of the two jutsu, if I am missing something then either please point it out, or oh well there is always next time) as Merchant himself was about ten meters away from the water fall, so the wind would only reach twenty meters into the cave, if the two of them survived that attack, then the cave itself though would have sustained so much damage that it would cause a cave in, meanwhile before this massive attack, the Clone right as merchant jumped backwords, would have immediattly wave his hand across in front of him, and doing so would send a large number of Chidori Senbon forward at the two, at this point in time, now the slashes were incoming from the Akira's and the shuriken from Coco, fifty senbon easily covered the entirety of the cave, from wall to wall, from top to bottom, the senbon moved at a speed of 85 and they would be aiming to hit everything in a 20 meter range, the shadow shuriken would get hit by one and it would disperse completely, the little summon that was riding the shuriken would also get pierced by a senbon, hopefully it disappeared and not was completely killed, same for the other salamander summon, ten of the senbon ,a piece, was aimed at the two ninja on the ground, and another ten at the clone in the air, the rest of the senbon that did not go to destroying the shuriken and the summons sent by CoCo and the thirty aimed specificly for the three, the two humans and the one clone, the rest would go to the attacks sent by Akira and his clone, as his attacks had no health, the senbon should make them explode when the slashs collide with senbon, the explosions that happen from them would weaken the walls even more then what the wind cutters already did.

So as a quick recap, Merchant is standing on the water with surface walking tech, using Kami Oroshi, the lightning clone sent out a large number of senbon out, which should take care of all the attacks sent by coco and akira, (if not let me know) and unless Coco and Akira somehow made it out past the Kami Oroshi, are trapped in the cave with a good ten meters of rocks between them and the once was exit

Somehow with the mercenary managing to avoid Akira's jutsu besides him being much, much faster than his adversary in question. He noticed that he performed a clone of his own and was attempting to perform a jutsu. Since the Chidori Senbon was already negated with Akira's slashes, The real Akira rushed the clone after he had performed the jutsu, using the Iai beheading technique at a speed of 125, should the clone be at a standstill its' head would've been lopped off, with Akira still sprinting to avoid the jutsu's lightning discharge, body flickering out of its' way to hopefully catch the merchant before he hit the ground.

The clone meanwhile in mid air performed the Tiger handseal, which would materialize the Shade Release: Judgement technique, which would absorb all the chakra used in the wind jutsu, meaning that the flood would not have happened as there would've been no wind jutsu to shift it. Which should hopefully leave the merchant defenseless while still in mid air. Immediately afterwards the clone performed 3 handseals straight afterwards. Using the Raiton: Godslayer technique to fire a massive ray of Lightning Chakra at a speed and strength of 104, which provided the merchant still had no momentum whilst in midair. Should hopefully not have time to react to the 200M bolt of lightning chakra headed straight for his heart as he had no footing to gain momentum off. Provided he was hit it would create a hole about 20CM in diameter in his heart.  

The Real Akira, meanwhile would've body flickered at a speed of 185 to hopefully be underneath the merchant. Waiting to strike him if he even thought of trying to land.

The moment the Merchant made the move for the lightning clone Kasunda would spray the opening of the falls with gas putting him, and if not him, his clone to sleep before they could perform their moves. The Merchant may have been able to escape but the clone being summoned into the gas cloud would be caught for sure.

Should the merchant have escaped the attack Fuma clone Coco would have been moving at over twice the speed of the merchant would reach his location outside of the water just as he was breaking from it's surface. Fuma Coco would end her transformation a foot away from the water fall. (On the outside.) In her hand would be Kurdoi in her left, and a kunai in her right. Soon as she appeared she would throw Kurdoi towards the Merchant.(Speed of 115, but take into account that he's already being thrown by the clone who is already moving at a speed of 115 so probably far above the Merchant's reaction time.)

With the merchant now engulfed in a cloud of blue, Clone Coco would twirl her body to face the assassin. (Still flying btw) She would toss her kunai in his direction and perform the hand seals for Shadow Shuriken Jutsu.

Now being in a cloud of thick blue poison, if not already asleep he would be unable to see the cloud of  100 kunai flying in his direction. The kunai would fly out like a shot gun covering everything in a 10M Circle with steel blades.

Should that ten meters include the inside of the Cave Coco herself would perfume Great breakthrough sending the kunai flying back out of the cave, for a second assault upon the merchant.

After which Clone coco would land outside of the spring, and draw her Umbrella ready to continue the fight.

Should by some chance that not take place, and the cave did indeed collapse Coco would nonchalantly jump backwards exiting the cave and entering into the cavern which held the Bijuu temple. Using her umbrella to float gently on down.

[Coco Clone 75 Ap

145 for Coco should she uses Great Break Through, or her umbrella.

[I could Rp the merchants death scene, but I am lazy, but simply put, he is fish food, blood mist everywhere, the pond like water is red with his blood and the many slices and pieces of the Merchant]

Akira saw him get completely pulverized, from his eyes widening from the Lightning strike and also from the many Kunai shredding him to bits, unfortunately for Akira, he was very, very close to the dead merchant at the time, and found himself absolutely splattered with blood that wasn't his. "That is. Absolutely disgusting." He stuttered, shocked. Wiping his face clean with his palm, it was all stuck in his glorious hair too. He quickly dashed under the waterfall, cold but he needed to get that blood off of him, people got diseases that way, but would it have been a bit more humane for him to die in a more...intact fashion? 

The now soaked Akira went back towards the cave to look for Coco. Hoping to retrieve her and get them on their way back home. He ran his hand through his wet hair, slicking it back and out of his eyes, a difficult fight, but a worthy end to a worthy opponent. Perhaps simply beheading him would've been more honorable. Nonetheless he still felt badass. "C'mon, let's go."
