The area outside Konohagakure is dense with foliage. Trees tower over the ground below, shadowing those below it and effectively dropping the temperature ten degrees below the temperature before entering the area. Leaves litter the ground, making it harder to keep quiet, but due to lack of sun, smaller brush doesn't grow. Little wind blows within the dense trees, and a vast amount of birds of varying kinds live here.
Emi weaved through this area easily, listening to birds flutter away to avoid possible danger and the leaves crunched beneath her shoes, which would alert others to her position if they had arrived already. However, when she arrived at the area she was to meet the others, it was empty and the forest was quiet now. Emi pushed down her hood to look around unhindered, her two-toned eyes scanning the trees for any sign of the others arriving, and her ears were focused on trying to hear approaching footsteps or for the birds to silence themselves after they had again began their songs.
She was actually a little later than she had meant to be, so she was somewhat surprised no one else was here.

Such a peaceful scene that set apart this particular forest from the rest of the world. Birds sang quiet songs of whimsy and other animals made their way around the area, going about their usual life. High above the ground, upon the branch of a large and long-standing tree was a man, Conker to be exact, seated quietly on the branch enjoying the company of a small flock of birds. His attention was always on the ground as he awaited the company of those who were supposed to arrive here along with him, but he apparently was a tad early. Ah, but wait! Here came someone now. A woman, none the less. Given the location of the wooded area and the words of those around, perhaps this was the lady Hokage? God how Conker hoped she was the Hokage! He yearned for a good scrap and who better than a village leader to saturate his appetite? Conker exhaled deeply, but quietly as it seemed the woman hadn't noticed his presence and had no desire to give himself away as of yet. No, not yet. For now, he would wait for more to arrive.

Sleeping in a branch as close to the tree canopy as possible was no one other than Akuma. Though his face was not visible, this man could be no other than Akuma for he wore the same clothing and even had the Raikage hat with him, which was currently shielding his face from the sun as the man slept. The tree in which Akuma currently slept was within the designated meeting area.
Upon hearing the crunch of leaves which signaled the arrival of someone or something Akuma awoke from his nap. Removing the Raikage hat from his face Akuma would slowly open his eyes, waiting patiently and silently as the adjusted to the bright light. Sitting up on his branch Akuma began to survey his surroundings, his eyes darting from one place to another until he noticed a woman standing in the area below. Akuma quickly came to the conclusion that this woman could be no other than the lady Hokage herself.
Curious to know if anyone else might be in the area, staying out of his site, Akuma let his sharingan activate. Re scanning the area with his now activated sharingan Akuma was able to detect another chakra signature. This other person however was hidden to Akuma's direct sight due to branch and leaf cover. Akuma continued to scan his surrounding from his branch, unwilling to allow his presence to become known just yet.

Had come to accept the challenge but as a bonus to see his wife. After arriving in Konoha, he veered off and headed to the designated meeting area, steps soft and unassuming, a kanobo none other than Gekihōriki, attached to his back and a breastplate and hakama all that was present as far as clothing for him. Three katanas and a gunbai adorned his body as well.
As he approached and spotted his wife he weaved minor kata and used thought projection ninjutsu to say, "Hello.", walking up behind her slowly and softly, making no attempt to hide his chakra as he did not want to startle her.
His crimson eyes now changing as his Nova E.M.S spiraled into view, causing him to appear cold and calculating, even though that was far from the truth. The Gunbai and Kanobo crossed on his back while his two twin katanas rested on either hip, with lifesever resting on the left side chain dangling. His features soft as his semi tanned flesh glistened, highlighting every cut in his muscles defining him. His coupled with his chakra sensing allowed him to sense where everyone was and what they were doing if he focused on their location.

Kurimuzon was one of the last people to arrive at the outskirts, he wasn't very interested in what was about to take place. He wanted to stay home and relax, but he needed to gather information on his new acquaintances and possible enemies. Before getting closer he wanted to gauge the chakra levels of the kages, and find all of their locations before getting into contact with any of them.
He sat on a small mossy stone jutting out of the ground, about a mile away from the agreed upon meeting place, and activated his byakuugan. while scouting the surrounding area he located Genkumaru, and Emi, they were standing near each other. Not having the patience to sit around and locate everyone, he was feeling more anxious than cautious at the time, he decided to start moving towards the ones he saw. Kurimuzon was hoping to notice the rest along the way, or at least find them before they did him.
Kurimuzon, still searching along the way spotted Conker sitting in a branch observing. Kurimuzon thought to himself, "He has a good deal of chakra. It would be wise not to engage that one, for now anyway." Cautiously walking along Kurimuzon got closer to the three he spotted, slowly he walked up to the two Shinobi on the ground and gave them a look of indifference. He calmly said, "You must be the Shogun of the land of Iron, I learned much in your land, when I was younger." Kurimuzon looked around and found the tree branch where he saw Conker before, he looked back at the two in front of him, "You, you're the Hokage, I hope for your peoples sake this doesn't get out of hand." Kurimuzon looked back up at the large tree from before. "You must be the Otokage on that tree branch, I hope to learn more about you. Where is the other one? I feel him around here but I can't find his exact location."

Emi now began noticing the chakra signatures surrounding her, all being powerful, but more so than her own- much more. It was then she sensed the presence of her husband and was soon greeted, to which she responded to with a soft smile, "Hi.". She couldn't see all of them, but four of the five people participating in the spar were present, so now they had to wait for the fifth. The Hokage did sense another signature some ways off from them, though she was unsure if it was the last of their little group.
As they waited, Emi thought back to her last sparring session, but she found that she couldn't even remember it nor the one she fought with. She sighed, more so towards her forgetfulness than impatience, however it could have come off as so. She also shifted, causing the still and brittle leaves beneath her shoes to crackle and crunch under her weight.
The chakra Emi had sensed before was now drawing closer to the group, making her wonder if it was a passerby or if perhaps it was their missing fighter. Soon enough, a warm body appeared through the dense foliage and approached both her and her husband. She, in response to his dull expression, gave a halfhearted smile, but it faded at his words. "Any of you get too close to my village, it won't be a friendly spar anymore.", she stated, her temper mildly flaring at the thought of one of her villagers getting harmed because of this; that was one thing that would not be happening here today.

Conker rolled backwards from the branch he was on, causing his body to plummet toward the ground at an incredible rate of speed. As he dropped, his hands made a long string of katas that then shifted his chakra into his feet and created ball of air beneath them which caused him to levitate several inches from the ground before he touched the ground completely. The man began to laugh wildly as he landed just in time to hear the threat of the Lady Hokage, "Funny! That actually tempts me to make way toward your village to see what you would do!", He called out to her, a slight hiss in his voice as he spoke.

Akuma allowed a slight smile to touch his lips as his brother came into view. Reasoning that it should not take long now before the final person of their battle royal shows up, Akuma set to his preparations trying to remain as quiet as possible. Akuma took out four kunai and attached explosive tags to all of them, putting the kunai down next to him Akuma would also extract a number of smoke bombs from his tool pouch. He took out close to the exact number of smoke bombs he would need in order to cover an area of about 20 meters on each side and 10 meters in height, a massive area.
Akuma, done with his preparations for now, resumed waiting for the final member of their group to arrive. Soon rewarded for his patience, Akuma spotted Kurimuzon approaching the two figures grouped together on the ground. Gathering the smoke bombs Akuma began to stand up, however before he could drop the smoke bombs a man dropped to the ground out of a tree. A smile now touched Akuma's features as all of the people he was going to fight were now in one area, fairly close together.
Not wanting to waste even a moment Akuma threw all 8 of the smoke bombs he prepared around the group of ninja below him. As soon as all the smoke bombs were thrown Akuma picked up the kunai and descended the tree quickly to a branch about 10 meters above the ground. Hoping the smoke would conceal this jutsu Akuma takes a deep breath and forms the kata needed for Kasumi Enbu no Jutsu quickly, Akuma exhaled a mist over an area of about 10 meters in all directions including up. This mist however was not like normal mist, though any ninja would be hard pressed to tell the difference. This mist was combustible, and capable of causing a very large explosion. As soon as he was done exhaling the mist Akuma retreated to a branch about 10 meters higher than his current position. Quickly, as to avoid his targets escaping, Akuma threw two of the four explosive tagged kunai into the general area of the groups last position. The tags were set to detonate in as little as 4 seconds. Taking this brief opportunity Akuma was able to gain a couple more meters in height before the massive explosion occurred.
As the explosive tagged kunai exploded, causing no doubt a good amount of damage to the area in which they were thrown, the mist ignited causing an even bigger explosion. Stumbling from the force of the explosion Akuma channeled chakra to his feet in order to stick to the tree. However this was a futile attempt because the tree began to fall backwards, apparently the explosion was enough to knock over this tree and who knows how many others. Turning so he faced the trunk of the tree, Akuma waited until the tree was at about a 45 degree angle. Wasting no time, Akuma's Raiton no Yoroi, or lightning armor sprang into existence boosting his speed considerably. Running up the trunk Akuma choose his destination quickly, a still standing, seemingly stable tree just off to his right, and just close enough to jump into.
Jumping into the new tree, Akuma then turned and saw just how much destruction the explosions caused. Exploded trees littered the ground near where the explosions core would have been and the forest burned within the blast radius. Anyone caught in the explosion would most likely have fourth degree burns, however anyone who did nothing to protect themselves may find themselves dead, or very, very injured. Smiling slightly, Akuma resigned himself to scanning the area with his still active three tomoe sharingan, waiting to see who would emerge from the explosion.

His eyes having latched on to his brother as he descended from the canopy and onto a lower tree, quickly noticing the red aura forming around Akuma as a katon style ninjutsu indicator, decided to react, as he reached for his kunai pouch. Having noticed his brothers movements he didn't answer Kurimuzon, and instead, attempted to grab his wife by the waist as he threw one of his shiki-fuuin kunai at a tree a hundred feet or so back, hitting it dead center. Assuming everything went as planned he would teleport along with his wife over to the tree out of the eminent blast zone.
He then would form several handseals in a long kata and flurry, as he slammed his palms into the ground, creating a four directions barrier seal around the area, ensuring that no damage would affect Konoha. After that he formed several more kata as a small box formed at the top of the orange block barrier around the two mile by four mile long battle field, and five seal tags appeared as well. As his last follow up on this move, he summoned three coral clones that each grabbed a tag and ran off towards conker, Akuma, and Kurimuzon carrying this message, "These tags will teleport you to the safety box uptop once near death.", they were quite hardy and fast, but could only preform taijutsu and suiton or coral ninjutsu.
He then formed more kata as he summoned a coral pot roughly four feet in height and a foot in diameter. After the kata were finished he shot a torrent of water into the pot, just enough to fill it, and then summoned two more coral clones which grabbed a handle each and lifted the pot up, a soft voice ecscaping his lips as he spoke to Emi hopefully, "Place one of those tags on yourself and be careful. I love you.", he then would grab one of the two tags and place it on himself, it melding into a non permanent tattoo seal on his navel.
And then he would be off, Gekihōriki in his right hand while his left rested on one of his twin katanas hilts channeling fuuton based chakra into it. His clones following behind him, the coral pot having a top on it now as the water inside of the pot spun rapidly creating pressure inside. The coral vlones becoming spiky as the went, in their battle form as Gen called it. This pot once enough pressure was achieved would essentially become a shrapnel bomb.

Kurimuzon smirked at Emi's comment and turned to Conker landing behind them. He chuckled at Conkers threat and retorted, "You're playing with fire there Kage, it's not safe to. . " At that second Akuma's kunai hit the ground. Kurimuzon moving as fast as he could, reached in his robe and bulled out two summoning scrolls. One contained sand, and the other cinnabar, enough to cover everyone from the explosion. As Genkumaru disappeared with Emi, Kurimuzon began preparations himself. Half on the sand surrounded Kurimuzon, as the remainder of the sand sprang towards Conker. The sand swirled around Conker rising up and forming a barrier, if he wanted he could get away from the sand at any time and escape his own way. Near Conkers feet sand started to take the shape of letters, it read, "Why not work together? Let's face it, we are a bit out matched in our current state."
Taking a good deal of concentration to mold the sand and keep an eye out for incoming assault Kurimuzon, using his bykuugan, spotted two clones running towards him and conker. The clones were holding seal tags, likely meant to protect the remaining two from the explosion. kurimuzon, using a small portion of his cinnabar, threw six ore coated kunai at the two clones. If the kunai wasn't enough to kill them, than the cinnabar would at least hold them in place. With that Kurimuzon finished his sand barrier, inside he pulled out one of his two katanas, and set out the rest of his summoning scrolls.
As Akuma's explosion hit, he stood ready to summon everything he had at his disposal. He wasn't sure if he could contend with Akuma, Genkumaru, or any of the kages for that matter. Kurimuzon prepared for the worst, he took a large clump of sand off of the barrier and coated himself in. The sand provided him with an armor that wouldn't impede his movement to much, or slow him down. Kurimuzon took another, smaller handful of sand and molded a small eye like ball. It moved through the sand and outside to scout for Akuma and anyone else near.

Just as Emi was to respond to the Otokage's over-confident remark on her statement, that was more meant as a precaution to let them all know she wanted to keep her village unharmed, Akuma's kunai hit the dirt not far from them and exploded into a dense smoke, making it hard to see even the tree that was once directly next to her. She went to run, knowing that being within an area with little vision could lead to one's downfall, but she was suddenly halted and snatched, colliding with another body. Before she could blink, her vision had cleared and she was once more surrounded by foliage instead of smoke, her husband at her side, "Thank you.", she murmured, glancing about and making a mental decision on who she would go after.
Emi looked to Genkumaru after a moment, watching him form sign after sign and eventually turn to her; what was he planning? She reached and grabbed hold of the last tag and did as instructed by placing it on her person, her own tattoo-like seal forming beneath her clothing. The Hokage nodded to his words of caution, deciding then to heed his words as she headed in the general direction of the smoke, searching for the Otokage's chakra signature as her guide to his location.
Of course, Emi was not one to rush, so she took to jogging at a nice pace as she thought of a plan. Once coming within twenty feet of the smoke, that had exploded some time ago and left her to gather the locations of each member of the spar again, she perched within a tree with the shadows hiding her slim form quite well and suppressing her chakra to try and avoid detection. Here she would wait and formulate her plan.
She formed a few kata (Ram- Snake- Tiger), a clone appearing next to her within a moment. It quickly leaped from the tree after receiving a nod from Emi, rushing to where Conker would be. The clone was simply sent to tease and provoke the Otokage to follow where Emi was. However, a trap would be laying in wait for him, so she hoped, as she performed two kata (Ram-Tiger) and focused water into her chest, infusing it with chakra to make it quite sticky. Once spitting it out, the ground, and most of the trees before her, would be covered in aforementioned sticky substance that would trap whoever it came into contact with.
Now she simply had to wait and hope Conker would fall for the clone's actions.

Conker's figure became instantly erect as the bombs dropped, causing the battleground to be covered instantly with a cloud of smoke. Huh. Surely this must of been the work of the physically absent Raikage who had chosen not to be part of the lovely little group down on the ground. Conker had planned to simply blow away the smoke with a high-level Fuuton technique, but prior to preparing it, a shield of dense sand erected itself in front of him. A small message of sand wrote itself in front of the man and his gaze shot instantly toward Kurimuzon, who was mere feet away from Conker now and nodded to the man. He wasn't much for working with people, but hey, what could it hurt?
Conker tilted his body to the side and rushed toward Kurimuzon, grabbing the man by the waist and leaping backwards, "We might need a bigger shield than this!" He told the man. After moving back a reasonable distance, Conker released the man and began to make a set of katas before he slammed both hands on the ground. Conker's technique kicked in immediately and three large gates erected themselves in front of the two men, "Kuchiyose: Sanjū Rashōmon!", He called out, causing the Rashōmon to put themselves into place behind the sand barrier. Conker grinned, sure the two would be safe from the blast now.
To be sure of the safety, Conker made a string of handseals and creates a single, solid Shadow Clone to move around the barriers and scout the area. Nothing more than a barren wasteland was laid out before them, the smoke starting to clear and the area where the explosion hit in complete ruins. To top this off, there was the Hokage.. running in the direction of him? She really must have been steamed about the crack he had made about attacking her village. She obviously took him seriously. What a shame.
The clone clapped it's hands together and made the katas (Dog -> Snake) before it inhaled and then spewed a large amount of lava from his maw which instantly hardened into several molten boulders than flew toward Emi at an incredible rate. The composition of the boulders made them hard to get away from and caused them to melt their way through most anything, but surely the Lady Hokage could conjur up a way to counter the lava, no?

Akuma was, once the smoke cleared and the battle field completely visible again, disappointed for no one was injured in his attack. However, he was not surprised, for they were all kage level, and a few Jinchuuriki. Sighing slightly Akuma let a smile touch his lips, "This is going to be more fun than expected," was the soft statement that came from Akuma. He said it more to himself than to anyone else; in fact it's doubtful anyone could have heard him. Rousing Kurama with his thoughts Akuma asks telepathically, "Who do you suggest we attack first?" Kurama took several seconds to respond for he was evaluating the situation. Kurama replied with "Sand boy and lava brat look to comfortable behind that sand barrier and Rashōmon." Nodding Akuma drew upon Kurama's vast chakra supplies and formed two Kata (Tiger -> Snake) Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kōtan.
Almost instantaneous a great forest grew out from Akuma's location. The forest spread to encompass the whole battle area within seconds, placing the whole area under Akuma's jurisdiction, for he is able to control this new forest anyway he wants. The area that was once a wasteland, once again became crowded with trees and foliage. Most of these trees had a circumference of about ten to thirty feet, and the trees stretched to heights ranging from fifty to two-hundred feet. The branches of these trees are thick and resemble smaller trees themselves. Littering the ground were lush green bushes, and all different kinds of plants. Thick knotted roots could be seen jutting out of the ground and growing over one another.
The creation of this mass forest being complete Akuma stopped drawing on Kurama's charka, thus allowing Kurama to begin recovering the lost chakra. Akuma had left only a single small clearing within this dense forest. Within this clearing would be Kurimuzon and Conker, forming a single kata Akuma in an attempt to trap the two, willed pillars to grow around the Rashōmon and sand barrier leaving only five feet of distance between the pillars and the Rashōmon and sand barrier combo. There were eight pillars on each side, these pillars stretched to thirty feet in height before bending at ninety degree angles to connect to each other overhead creating a sort of roof. Each pillar was square, placed right next to each other thus leaving no gaps, and about three feet on each side of the square pillar. The ending result was a thirty foot tall by 24 foot long square box, which took all of about ten seconds to create, leaving little time to escape, yet time none the less.

Gen quickly reacted as the forest grew around him, channeling Katon chakra into the blade that he was charging before, as he drew it, and slashed with wide arcs, causing arcs of flame to be spewed from the blade, aiming to burn down the trees in his path as he and his clones quickened their pace. Isobu finally spoke up as he stated, "You should be careful proceeding from here. If he uses the poison flower technique you will be the only one unaffected.", Gen mentally paused for a moment before saying, "What do you suggest Big brother?", Isobu then responded, "I hate destroying Nature... but burn this new forest. Leave very little standing, if you need me just ask.", Isobu then rejuvenated Gen's chakra supply with his own before he went silent.
The two clones that were inside the Rashōmon, were bound by the shuriken that were thrown at them. The clones held out a seal tag each, speaking softly and concisely, "Please take these tags and touch it against you where it will create a seal, that upon coming close to death will teleport you to safety.", the clones, if the kages took the seals would merge into one and wait until it was needed.
Having finally come to the area with which he had last seen Conker and Kurimuzon, he saw a wooden box that had formed around Conker's Rashomon's. Gen formed a few small kata as one of the two clones turned solid and returned its chakra to him, which Gen then molded it onto the top of the pot creating a spike. The other clone then lifted the pot and rushed towards the wall leaping into the air and throwing the pot spear point first at it, as well as morphing and attaching as a ball shaped base onto the bottom. As the pot came in contact withwith the wall the coral would shift to stick to it instead of peircing the wall, the ball would push in injecting the raw chakra held inside into the chakra dense rapidly spinning water inside, causing a diffusion and then explosion.
Gen would seal Gekihōriki by touching it against his right pec, causing it to poof in a small cloud of smoke. He then drew Ameterasu's Gunbai and Lifesever as an Ameterasu coating covered Lifesever's blade. He would launch several balls of fire from the Gunbai and slashes of Ameterasu from Lifesever at the forest, aiming to burn down as much of it as possible. His eyes deactivated as they appeared in their third tomoe form. Gen began to contemplate his next move as he sat down and went into a meditative stance, three normal bunshins appearing around him after some minor kata.
He had two options, continue his fight with Kurimuzon and Conker, and trust in Emi's abillity with Medical ninjutsu, or go after his brother, being the only one who could fight him most likely. As he sat and pondered on his next step he formed a few minor kata as his clones did as well, summoning a simple scroll that he opened up infront of him. This scroll contained all of his knowledge on Fūinjutsu and secret arts. He began reading all of the Fūinjutsu techniques that he currently knew, seeing his possibilities for a defense or assualt.

Kurimuzon had little time to react to Conkers unexpected movements. As he saw the Otokage flipping towards him, he picked up the summoning scroll he set out and put his sword away. Before he could do anything else he was snatched up and immediately after three Rashōmon appeared around them. After the explosion Kurimuzon was ready to retaliate, he took out four of his scrolls but before he could use them a large forest sprung out of nowhere. worried that he and Conker would be in anther dangerous situation, kurimuzon got Conkers attentions and said, "We can't get stuck in another trap like this, it would be in our best interest to get as far away from the Raikage as we can. Better to let his brother deal with him, for now. Follow me if you like, if not good luck." A second later wood pillars rose form the ground forming a prison around them. Without hesitation kurimuzon grabbed Conker and leaped into the air while saying, "Consider this payback for helping me with the explosion." Then using the sand left from his barrier, he created a cloud of sand which swept them up outside the prison just before it closed Kurimuzon left Conker a little ways away from the wood prison saying, "I'll be preparing, take his with you," A sand clone formed next to Conker, "If you need backup Just kill it, if it dies i'll head to where I last felt it." after that Kurimuzon, on his sand cloud, ascended as far up as he could, without hitting Genkumaru's barrier.
Now that Kurimuzon was away from Akuma's trap, kurimuzon took the four scrolls he was planning on using before and summoned about twenty feet of sand and cinnabar in the air. Kurimuzon immediately thrust the sand down hitting the ground and going under, his intent was to find and breakdown as much iron as he could. with the cinnabar he started to form them into spear like shapes. All that was left to do is wait and look for Iron. Taking advantage of his position above the forest Akuma created, Kurimuzon searched for anyone he could find with his bykuugan. Off in the distance he noticed the Hokage making preparations, for an upcoming fight perhaps? Regardless he didn't have to interact with anyone else, he needed to find the Shogun. Just below him he spotted him, near the wood prison he was almost trapped in.
Not wanting to get into a fight kurimuzon made a sand clone out of a large portion of the cloud he was on. The clone dropped down in front of the shogun and bowed. "i'm not here to fight, just talk. in this forest we don;t have much of a chance to survive, I would like you to help me destroy a good amount of it before we fight. At least so that we have a chance to do so without interruption, what do you say shogun?"

As the clone neared Conker, she saw him forming handsigns, ones that she did not recognize. The clone stopped in its tracks, waiting for what was sure to come. Those lava boulders came at her in a rate she was definitely not expecting. Nevertheless she gracefully ducked and maneuvered her way around the majority of them, yelling out to the Otokage through this barage, "How sad! Can't hit a clone, how do you expect to compare to the real thing?"
But, all good things must come to an end and the false Emi dispersed upon being slammed into by one of the few remaining rocks when she paused in her dance to stick out her tongue in a childish, teasing manner to further taunt him. Though Emi would usually not stoop to childish behavior, she would've loved to see Conker barrel through those trees only to get stuck in her trap. The real Emi snapped from her thoughts as she felt Akuma's chakra suddenly flare, then a vast amount of trees, quite large in stature and girth, sprang up from the once barren land that had taken the brunt of Akuma's explosion. Mere moments later she felt Genkumaru's chakra flare also, but saw no visible difference from her perch in the large tree she resided in.
She wondered if perhaps she should have waited for the men to destroy each other before involving herself, that way whoever was left wouldn't be able to defend themselves as easily. "Then again... Having a wounded Jinchuuriki fighting me when I have no help might not be the best idea...", she murmured to herself, her eyes running over the dense forest that had sprouted before her, where the others surely were. "With that forest, and the person who made it, might better wait.", she stated to none other than herself.
Her trap still lay there in waiting for whoever came its way, so she had no worries from the front, and she could keep track of them with each member's unique chakra to be sure they didn't come up behind her. She tried to plan out her attacks if one of the fighters did approach and attack her, but Emi assumed her clone failed to really provoke the Otokage's wrath enough for him to try and locate her. She kept her senses on alert to be sure no one snuck up on her as she formatted a plan.

Conker's mind became a blank screen, one could say, as he couldn't register everything that occured. When he finally came back to life, he registered that Akuma was setting a trap and Kurimuzan had saved him, paying off the debt he had from earlier when Conker kept the man from being blown to shit. Now why was the Raikage trying to sweep him and the man he had allied with. Were they a big threat to him or did he just find them annoying? Well that was no longer his concern as he was seemingly out of Akuma's range of attack, but who actually knew anymore. Conker raised his left hand and dispersed his clone, walking over to replace it. Now to deal with the Lady Hokage.
"Surely you do not believe that I actually believe that you would send yourself out here to test me, Lady Hokage. I am not as foolish as you would believe." Conker announced to her, making sure she understood that he knew of her clone. "And now.. to bring you out of hiding", He called again. Conker shifted chakra into his right arm and thrusted it forward, sending an alarming amount of snakes from his sleeves toward the area he suspected the Hokage to be in. This, of course, was the man's "Sen'ei Tajashu" technique which allowed him to summon Snakes in order to attack or, in this scenario, seek out someone. If Conker was correct on where he sent the snakes, surely they would find the woman and began to bite her or perhaps they would trigger her trap themselves rather than Conker doing so later by some strange mistake.

Letting his Raiton no Yoroi fade to nothingness Akuma let out a deep sigh. Slightly pissed that some idiot decided it would be a good idea to burn down this nice new forest he made to replace the old one, Akuma formed several kata. Putting into effect his next jutsu Jubaku no Jutsu, Akuma concentrated on the area in which Genkumaru was sitting. Pillars of wood about six inches thick shot out of the ground around Gen rather quickly, aiming to wrap around the man's body. The wood attempted to wrap around Gen's torso and arms, while simultaneous attempting to restrain Gen's legs by wrapping over and around them. If caught in this jutsu Gen would soon notice his chakra being absorbed.
The moment after his first jutsu was initiated Akuma formed more kata (Rat → Dog → Tiger) in order to create another cage, though this one on a smaller scale. His Moku Jouheki no Jutsu took effect, creating twelve pillars in all, three on each side, all the pillars were two feet thick and placed in a perfect square box formation. These pillars like the last were square themselves making them two feet on every side, this box cage was seven feet in height, and six feet in length. If Gen was indeed caught inside the box he would have just enough room to move about assuming he was not already caught in Akuma's Jubaku no Jutsu.
Closing his eyes for but a moment Akuma contacted Kurama, "Have you recovered somewhat?" Kurama was slow to reply for he was coming out of a meditative state, "I have mostly, I am back to three quarter's chakra." Nodding Akuma replied "Alright, can you replenish my chakra stores then?" No reply came from Kurama, but Akuma did feel his chakra return. Jumping into the tree closest to him, Akuma climbed until he was about halfway, or fifty feet up. Akuma sat on a rather thick branch with his back to the tree's trunk, taking a deep breath Akuma would again set himself to observe his surroundings, always remaining alert for possible danger.

After seeing the sand cloud, Kurimuzon and Conker rode out of the formng box on like some effing western, he had put his scroll away as his clones grabbed a kunai from his pouch each and ran off in opposite directions. Gen then formed a string of kata as he slammed his hands into the ground, causing the ground below him to become water. Shortly after doing so, wood began wrapping around his body from his brothersnJubaku no Jutsu, to which Gen responded as he tilted the water beneath him slightly saying, "Suiton: Mizukagami no Jutsu....", wooden tendrils from his mirrored, Jubaku no jutsu that formed above him, would collide with and repel his brothers as he rolled to his left and jumped out of the now forming box landing hard on his right side. Taking only a second to get up, he began throwing seal tags at the ground, as he rushed towards his brothers chakra signature.
Meanwhile, his clones rushed after the Oto and Kazekage, with the clones having met up with them shortly after diverting paths. They were forming small coral deposits as they ran along the ground, Gen prepping for something big yet simple. His clones pressed the kunai's they held into their bodies, causing a ripple like effect as the kunai's they grabbed from Gens pouch were absorbed almost immediately to which they bean forming kata. A Suiton tech beginning to be formed between the two of them, as they prepped it.
Back to Gen. As he ran he formed several kata, preparing to use a quick decisive blow to attack his bother, as chakra began gathering in his right hand forming an orb, drawing on chakra from the surrounding plant life courtesy of his brother, causing the orb to grow exponentially, with it being larger than an average Odama Rasengan already. This technique was dubbed the Chakra Cannon. And could rival the power of a Bijuu Dama given the right circumstances.

Kurimuzon was annoyed that his offer to help was blatantly ignored. Noticing that Genkumaru was going to fight Akuma, kurimuzon decided that he should leave the area. He turned the clone he droped off near the shogun back into sand and made it rise up into the sleeves of his robe, coiling around his upper arms and upper back where none could see. Kurimuzon sat down on his cloud looking off nowhere in particular, he was bored. He decided that he would go check on his apparent teammate. Kurimuzon, using his Byakuugan looked for is own clone, after a about a minute he found him. "There I am." Kurimuzon thought to himself. As he went towards the clone he left with Conker, he decided to check on the sand he burrowed underground. "Ah, halfway done. Soon I'll have enough iron sand to fight the Shogun or Raikage, whoever wins." Kurimuzon said to himself.
Nearing his clone, he saw Conker heading towards someone. It had to be the Hokage. "Well Conker is plenty strong, he wont need any assistance. I think so anyway. Then again the Hokage is quite fearsome as well, but I think I'll watch for the time being." Kurimuzon thinking about everything that's happened so far decided it would be best to spend his time preparing. Some cinnabar made it's way into Kurimuzons robe, taking care not to let it touch him it wrapped around the sand on his back and upper arms. His sand cloud lowered down to an area between the two.
Kurimuzon pulled out another of his scrolls, this one being a bit bigger than the previous four. Using it he summoned around one hundred square feet of sand. Using a moderate amount of chakra me made the sand disperse and fly around the area, enough to surround the three of them. The sand would continue to revolve around the area at a speed of about twenty miles per hour. Some of the sand he used on his cloud took the form of two clones. One ran in the direction of the Hokage with great hast, the other went towards the Otokage.
The clones reached the targets at roughly the same time, they spoke quickly, "Hello kage, I thought I would make things interesting. As you can see a rather large amount of sand is revolving around us. this is to ensure no one leaves. If you try to I''ll know, and i'll come after you. I promise not to interact with either of you when you fight," Only the clone near Conker spoke this time, "This includes you. Good luck, both of you. Oh, one more thing. To save chakra I'll only keep this sand field up for ten minutes. If you both are still standing after that, I'll attack the one with less chakra. Don't take it personally, I just want to get this over with as soon as possible."
