Khoren runs up to the village to see damage all around, and the chaos of battle. "Always late, always a step behind... Seriously now, how am I always late? Such misfortune." He examined the ground around him. He was torn between his orders, and following the slight trail that led away from the village. Unsure how to proceed, he started to look around for people to fill him in on what he missed.

Landing next to the kid, was a man clad in a ride knee long robe with a diamond shaped hat, draped across his back.
"Excuse me young man. Can i ask you what happened here?" The man asked.
Looking down at the boy and then back towards the village.

Khoren looks to the man man and replies, "I'm not entirely sure myself. I was ordered to return, and then an order to protect the village was issued, but by the time I arrived, the attackers had already taken off, some of my comrades after them. And I'm sure it's the same people that took Riyoshi..." Khoren shakes his head and sighs. "I should probably go after them and help, but I still have orders to defend the village. By the way, I don't think I caught your name."

Off in the distance past the village walls, deep in the center of the village, was a big explosion.
"Looks like they had not fully left your village. But as for me," The man replied.
Behind the boy and the man where two voices that spoke up.
"Tsuchikage sama! Why do you insist on moving so fast? You know that we can not keep up with you." The first voice said.
Landing on the ground, the two shinobi were breathing a little faster then normal.
"I am sorry you two. I know that you are not able to keep up, but look at the village. We need to do something about it." The tsuchikage said as he flew into the air and above the village.
"There he goes again." The other shinobi said as he hunched over and placed his hands upon his knees.

Saito appeared across the room, standing on the wall, and looked at Ryu.
"You're faster then last time. I am going to have to step up my game." Saito said to Ryu as he started to do a string of hand seals.
Ryu started to preform a string of hand seals as he looked upon Saito.
"I should say the same thing to you. Is it because you have what is truthfully mine?" Ryu said as he brought his hand up to his mouth.
Standing behind Masa, Ryu launched a large fireball to the side of her towards Saito. Saito just stared at the incoming fireball as he kept doing his hand seals. Smiling as the fireball was about a foot away, Saito vanished once again. The large fire ball ripped through the wall of the cave and created a massive crater.
"Still with your weak jutsu. I thought you were stepping up your game!" Saito yelled out as he appeared next to Ryu.
Thrusting his palm out at Ryu's stomach, he formed a spinning disc of chakra. Raising his other hand up, he pushed masa out of the way. As the jutsu neared Ryu, it grew massively fast and hit Ryu in the stomach. The chakra sliced into the floor and the ceiling. A large cutting action happened to Ryu but he only smiled. Ryu vanished in a puff of smoke.
"You are always after the one shot kill. I knew you were going to do this. SEAL!" Ryu yelled out as he placed his palm on the back of Satio.
The massive, warm chakra vanished and what was left was just Riyoshi laying on the ground. His breaths were shallow, but they were there. He was unconscious.

"Ah great, there still here. Such misfortune... Where could they possibly be hid- oh, I see someone there!" Khoren runs off towards the figure, and notices he seems out of place. The man is obviously not from the village. Khoren slows and approaches the man. Khoren pulls out a kunai and begins to spin it around his finger. "So, I would assume that you are the one who made that large summon I saw on my way back?" As he says this, he comes to stop and casually tilts his head to the side.

Raijin heard the kid and just looked over his shoulder.
"Yea, That would be me." Raijin replied as he held a kunai in his hand.
Charging his lightning chakra into the blade, he threw it at Khoren. Leaping to his right, the onikage slammed into the ground.
"So you are still able to dodge me huh?" The onikage said.

The tsuchikage flew over head and he watched the boy go to the south side of the village, so he headed to the north side of the village.
"Ok, he has that with the kage, so ill take this other disturbance." He said as he rocketed towards the north side of the village.

As Masa had been pushed, Nagano had grabbed her, ending his jutsu and putting her back under, as he looked at Riyoshi's body. "It seems I understated the bishops ability...." Nodding to his higher up, he cracked his neck and dragged the girl with him towards where he kept his other projects. Forming hand signs, he put a custom seal on the pack of her neck, solidifying his control.
Khoren quickly jumped to the right to dodge the blade, barely making it out of the way. "Ah! Such misfortune... I was hoping he'd just run." He dashes off to the side, and starts to open his pouch, knowing that he has no way out of this fight. "So, two on one in my favor. Is this my luck finally turning around?"

"Do not think that it will be that easy boy!" The onikage yelled out as she looked at the boy.
"This man is extremely skilled and I do not want you dying on my watch!" She continued as she grabbed out 15 kunai and launched them all at Raijin.
"Yea boy, you aint want to be killed, now do ya?" Raijin replied to the boy.
Raijin stopped and started to do hand seals. Smiling as he preformed them, he focused on Khoren.
"You need to watch out!" Teh onikage yelled out towards Khoren.
She preformed hand seals and ran towards Khoren.

As Khoren steadies himself, his starts to move towards the onikage, watching Raijin's every move. He keeps himself ready to dodge an attack from any direction, just in case the enemy ninja tried something tricky.

The onikage placed a hand upon Khoren, and he started to levitate.
"All right, get to the air and distract him." The onikage said.
"That is not going to work!" Raijin yelled out as he finished his hand seals.
"Raiton: Raikiri!" Raijin yelled out as his hand was engulfed in lightning chakra.
Running at the two, Raijin jumped into the air, and thrust his hand towards the two shinobi.

"this is pointless." Akatani quickly left his classmates and went on with his search. He saw someone wearing foreign clothes from what was standard to his village.
He threw a kunai at the tsuchikage without knowing his identity and intercepted his path. "Who are you?" he asked bluntly.

Khoren easily dodges into the air above Raijin, but can feel the electricity in the air as he passes over him, due to the sheer power of it.
"You know, normally I'd make some comment about how close that was, or bemoan my luck, but you really weren't too close..."
At this point, Khoren started to get cocky because he managed to dodge one blow, obviously oblivious to the fact that Raijin would be able to quickly respond and that his opponent was of a far level skill than him. He drew a few kunai and threw them at Raijin, believing he had finally caught a break.

Raijin just looked at Khoren and smiled as a coffin appeared around him.
"Until next time yo." Raijin said just before disappearing.

"What is your deal! I am here to help you. I am the tsuchikage!" The tsuchikage yelled out at the boy.
"Looks like we got what we came for. Now we are out of here." Saru said as the coffin covered his body.
"I am going to kill you!" Mei yelled out.
She glanced over at the tsuchikage then at Akatani.
"Thank you for coming, but it was just a little bit too late. I was not able to kill him, but i was able to get something better." She said.

Back at the head quarters, Ryu looked upon the other shinobi as Raijin and Saru appeared.
"What you call us back for yo?" Raijin said.
"Your mission was complete. We needed you here more then in that village." Ryu replied.
"What were you able to find out sir?" Saru asked.
"This boy here holds the power we were looking for. But his father's soul is acting like a cage. I tried to awaken it, but Saito manifested the power in his form and fought against me." Ryu replied.
Taking in a deep breath, Ryu looked back at the other shinobi.
"We are going to do this the hard way. We need all the genjutsu users here to form a circle around Riyoshi's body. Saru, this is where you also come into play. We need your sharingan to cast an illusion on the beast when it comes out." Ryu said as he set a seal around Riyoshi.
"About time!" She said as she sat at the spot above Riyoshi's head.
"So you are going to force the beast out. Then what?" Saru asked.
"Who cares yo, you don't need to know." Raijin said over to Saru.
As all the powerful genjutsu users sat around Riyoshi, they got ready for Ryu's directions.
"Ok, i am going to need you to go and subdue Saito's mind and lock it away into the beast. After that, i need to you to form a barrier around the beast and make sure that Riyoshi is not able to tap into it or Saito's power." Ryu said.
All the shinobi nodded and procceded with their orders.

He was surprised by what he heard. Akatani quickly bowed his head down to apologize. "I-I'm extremely sorry Tsuchikage-sama for my rudeness."
He stood up straight and started to explain himself. "Well, we were under attack. It's hard trusting foreigners and I never thought the Hidden Rock's leader would be here and that I would meet him." His bleak expression was repainted on his face. "I didn't want to take any chances after what happened today." Akatani bowed down again before facing the woman who was fighting the intruder.

As the genjutsu users dove into Riyoshi's mind, they were shocked at what they found. In his mind, there were two large cells. Inside one was a large white beast, the other, was the soul of Saito. Saito looked upon the intruders with a look of anger.

"I am just going to sum it up for everyone. During the reign of the previous tsuchikage, my father, there was a village riot. One of the villages clans, with the aid of some cloud ninja, started over throwing the village and the tsuchikage. Well, that clan was the hyabusa clan. Likewise, on the opposite side of the village rested the Nihoma clan, they battled the Hyabusa clan and invading ninja as long as they could. The Tsuchikage called upon a chakra so massive, so hateful that when he used it, it consumed him, but not before he was able to destroy the hyabusa clan and push back the invading force. Riyoshi's father was there when all this happened and being proficient in sealing jutsu, aptured the massive beast and sealed it within Riyoshi." The tsuchikage sais towards the group.
"And now that they have Riyoshi, you are saying that they are just going to try and seize that thing?" Mei asked.
"The only people that i can recall that would know about that, would be a surviving member of the hyabusa clan, a rogue ninja from the cloud, and angered clans men from your clan, or a rogue ninja from my hidden stone." Tsuchikage replied.
