Emi waited with patience for something, or rather anything, to happen. She sensed that both Genkumaru's and Akuma's chakra had neared each other greatly, so she assumed they had begun their battle. However, she felt another chakra break away from them, perhaps Kurimuzon? The Hokage had felt him go that way a few minutes ago. He had yet to really engage with anyone, so it seemed from her point of view, but she could've been wrong.
She was suddenly broken from these thoughts when she heard the loud call of the Otokage, though it was faint due to her distance from him. Emi didn't call out in retort, instead she simply chuckled quietly to herself; perhaps she had rattled his cage just a bit after all. Shortly after this she saw movement in the grass below, and the Hokage readied herself for whatever was nearing. However, she found her sticky trap did its job well, capturing not one, but many slithering snakes that now hissed in discontent, struggling to free themselves. The only downside was that there was no getting the Otokage stuck now, unless he really was foolish and stepped on the trap anyhow, though she knew he had to be a little more intelligent than that.
She felt Akuma's chakra flare once more, attracting her attention momentarily. She felt slightly intimidated seeing as she could not regenerate her chakra, yet most of them could, if not all. She shook her head and the thought away, deciding then to be careful with what she used, "Stick with the simple.", she said to herself in a sing-song manner. Just as the statement left her, she spotted a body enter through the trees, and then proceeded to leap to an erect posture in surprise, only to realize this one was not a warm-body. As it spoke to her, she frowned; so he was pitting them against each other. She actually hadn't noticed the swarming sand, but perhaps that was because Emi had been busy despite the fact she hadn't moved more than an inch since she perched in her tree.
She looked towards the area the snakes came from, assuming the Otokage was off in that direction. "Well, guess I should prepare then.", she stated, hoping down from the tree, landing with a crunch from the leaves underneath. She kneaded a few handsigns (Snake-Ram-Monkey-Tiger), inhaled, and finally exhaled a thick mist that slowly covered the area before her. This technique, the Mist Blaze Dance, was yet another trap. The mist slowly drifted forward, engulfing the snakes and spreading through the trees, but stopped suddenly, yet it did not dissipate. It resembled smoke, but was lighter somewhat in color. Emi held the final sign in order to keep the mist there for a longer period of time. If the Otokage were to actually come into this area, he would find a nasty surprise awaiting him. If he had come towards her and entered the mist, all that was required of the Hokage were a few handsigns and a spark to ignite it, causing what would seem to be a small explosion, but was actually just a large fireball that would also engulf the forest. Even he did not approach the mist, Emi would light it anyway to start burning the forest around them, another of her previously formed plans beginning to work its magic.

Conker turned his head as he awaited a response from his snakes, but none of them came back. You know what that means, Conker had located the Lady Hokage! Brilliant! Conker turned his attention to Kurimuzon's clone and nodded lightly to him, "Lord Kazekage, I will not flee from this grand affair. I will show you all, the leaders who stand against me, the true power of Otogakure!", He yelled, a bit louder than needed. Perhaps the man was getting a little too excited. Conker coughed as he toned himself down, "Kazekage, I must belatedly thank you for your assistance from the Raikage. Please excuse me rudeness before in not thanking you sooner. Consider us even now."
Conker was truly grateful to the man, but the Hokage was his main focus right now. As far as the targets went, she was the only one he couldn't see and from the she seemed to be the one with the smallest chakra reserves. Akuma, Gen, Kurimuzon. All three of them had high chakra reserves, the highest in the order they were listed in his mind. That meant, but one thing. They, too, were Jinchuuriki. That meant exhausting them would not be a simple task, but the Hokage.. she was a simple target. Easy, if you will, but only in this sense. One did not simply lead a village with good looks and luck. It took power, skill, cunning. Surely this woman would have all these features. And Conker reveled in that thought, the thought of having a powerful opponent and displaying his full prowess as a Kage!
Conker pushed off the ground, launching himself back several feet until he hit the trunk of a tree. Perfect! Conker's eyes closed as he began to initiate contact with his inner ape, [Gokū! Would you be so kind as to replenish my chakra? I will need to be a bit closer to full for what I am about to do.] The large ape opened his eyes and looked down at the man, nodding his large head, [Conker-san! I will gladly help you. Are you sure you do not wish to go back to full? I could do that right now, you haven't expended that much chakra.] Conker shook his head lightly toward him, [No, Son-San, that will be quite enough for now, but I will come to you again If I require more assistance]. The man's eyes opened wide once more and he felt a slight surge in chakra rush through his body, "Thank you, My Friend.", He murmured to himself.
Conker spun around at a rapid speed and grabbed the trunk of the tree. His chakra flowed into his palms and feet as he began to scale the tree in squirrel-like fashion with speed unused by your average, run-of-the-mill ninja. Conker was built for speed and he displayed it here as he made his way up the tree in a matter of seconds, standing on a high branch, "I hope this will work..", He said to himself, his hands running through an already familiar set of handseals, "Yōton: Suchīmurokku o kogashi!", Conker inhaled deep, the chakra molding into the jutsu he wish to perform warming his insides. As he exhaled, a large stream of lava spewed from his maw. Surely the people watching would remember this jutsu, no? He only used it, like, fifteen minutes ago on the ground, but this time it was a bit different. How so? Conker spewed it, not forward, but upward into the air. What luck! The stream got toward the area around where he suspected the Hokage was, as that is where his snakes had vanished at, before it split and became molten rock.
To your average shinobi, this would seem rather.. well, stupid in fact. A bunch of molten rocks in the air, surely they would just hit the ground, no? No, actually. Conker began to string through more katas as the lava started becoming rock (Boar->Dragon->Ram->Tiger, to be exact of the Katas) and clapped his hands together, "Yōton: Yōgan no haka!", He called out. Now the seemingly useless group of rocks suddenly huddle together and dropped down on the area where the Hokage was suspected to be hiding. An outer ring of rocks was made up of six rocks huddled together to create a tight-bound ring to prevent escape. The final two fell in the middle of the ring, aiming to crush anything and anyone that found themselves trapped in this hell-hole of a jutsu.
Conker had never intended to kill any of the fellow Kage or the Shogun, but perhaps a near-death experience was what the Hokage needed to be sure what she was up against. Conker's left hand raised to wipe his lips and he began to close his eyes. However, without even asking, Son began to replenish Conker's chakra once again until the Ape reached 50% of his own reserves, [Conker-san, I am going to take a break and replenish myself. Once I am good again I shall begin assisting once more.]. Conker nodded, "Take a good break, Son. You deserve it for the work you do for me.", he murmured to himself. Conker leaned back on the trunk, waiting to see the results of his offensive.

After a brief respite Akuma was forced to get up, for he heard some blundering oaf running through his forest. His eyes darting from area to area as he scanned the tree's, Akuma's sharingan still active. Akuma soon found it was his brother running towards him. Standing up on his tree branch, Akuma began forming kata (Tiger - Dog - Snake), these were the hand seals for no other than the perfect clone jutsu, the Moku Bunshin no Jutsu. Forming from his own body two wood clone's appeared next to Akuma after a few seconds. Akuma relayed his orders in a matter of seconds to the clone's, who in turn merged into the tree Akuma was currently standing on and began their journey to intercept Gen. After the dispatching of his clone Akuma set about making his preparations, inhaling deeply he formed a couple kata in order to use the jutsu Katon: Kasumi Enbu no Jutsu. Once again Akuma exhaled a combustible mist over the area below him, though this time he poured more chakra into the jutsu to make it stronger. The mist slowly spread over the ground and surrounding area covering roughly a fifty foot radius, and raising up to about twenty feet in height.
Once done with the dispersion of the combustible mist Akuma prepared four kunai with one explosive tag each. These tags were different though, instead of being timed they would go off when Akuma formed the proper kata, he then threw the kunai into two trees directly in front of where the sound Akuma first heard came from. The other two kunai would go back into Akuma's weapon pouch for later use. The man in the tree then stood completely still as he awaited his brothers arrival, his eyes still darted from place to place as he used his sharingan to observe his surroundings, remaining always alert to the slightest hint of movement.
A mere few seconds after being dispatched the first wood clone stepped part way out of a tree right as Genkumaru was about to pass by. Only the clone's upper body was exposed, forming a single kata (Ram), the clone pointed the fingers of his left hand at Genkumaru as he was going to pass the tree in which the clone was partly emerged. The clone's Mokuton: Sashiki no Jutsu took effect almost instantly, the clone's fingers turned into very sharp, pointy, and durable branches. These branches shot forward at high speeds, attempting to impale Genkumaru or at the very least stall him momentarily. A few seconds after the first wood clone partly emerged from a tree, its twin completely emerged from a tree about thirty feet farther up the "path." Stepping into what would have been Genkumaru's original path the second wood clone formed the kata (Bird - Hare - Serpent), slamming its hands into the ground wood clone number two created a wall of wood directly in front of itself, thus putting into effect its Mokuton: Jukai Heki. The wall of wood was ten feet thick, eighty feet tall, and one-hundred feet long, this wall is not only very large, but extremely durable, for it could withstand a bijuu dama for at the very least ten seconds before fracturing or breaking, this however depended on the power of such an attack. Large outer parts of the forest died instantly as this massive wall was created for the wood clone's draw their chakra from the surrounding forest.
Having done its duty in creating this massive wall, wood clone number two merged with the wall only to appear on the opposite side, once again in what would have been Genkumaru's original path. Sitting down with its back to the wall, the clone waited for Genkumaru to approach. The clone now knew its duty was to attempt to eliminate Genkumaru, or at the very least tire him out. The clone was prepared to use every jutsu in its arsenal, as well as possibly using some sharingan techniques. As large parts of his forest died, Akuma allowed a small frown to touch his lips. Akuma had known that the creation of such a wall would be extremely taxing, but to loose half of his forest? That was a bit excessive, thinking about it now, Akuma decided it would have probably been a better idea to just send more wood clone's to fight his brother. The wood clone's took their chakra from the surrounding forest, due to this fact, four or five clone's could have put up a hell of a fight. Shrugging the thought away Akuma resumed his quiet waiting game.

As he was running, almost instantly, wooden spikes shot out from a wood clone, Gen having mere seconds to react hardened chakra into his blade, bringing it upwards. The slash having easily sliced through the spikes due to the Ameterasu and hardened chakra coating. After he sliced through the spikes he shouted, "Wait brother. I sense that they have ganged up on my wife, your sister in law. How about we give them a good old fashioned Gen and Akuma team up? And than I'll fight you head on. Just you and me, an open clearing and anything goes. Does that sound like a fair deal? Winner of the duel will win the right to learn one of the others techniques.", Isobu soon spoke too Gen during all of this, "Do you need anything little brother?", as Gen responded softly, "No.... but keep an eye out. You have better judgment then I.", and with that Isobu was silent once more. And so Gen stood waiting for a response from his brother.
His coral clones that were following after Conker and Kurimuzon came to an impass as they met a circular wall of sand. Having finished their jutsu they melded into one clone as it preformed, "Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu!", a large, spout of water shot upwards from the clones mouth, causing it to fall down as the jutsu took full effect. The large amount of water would appear like a waterfall as it crashed into the sand, hopefully destroying it as it was capable of crushing solid rock, and hollowing he very ground. The clone would follow this by hopefully running through the hole in the now possibly destroyed wall of sand, heading towards Emi's last known location with due haste. Weaving hand signs once more in preparation for a defensive or offensive jutsu.
Gen sheathed his blade and focused on his brothers chakra signature pin pointing him and taking note of his slightly lower chakra supply. And so to ensure the success of this tactic, he told Isobu to invoke the third layer of consciousness which would bring all jinchuuriki that were fully bonded in the area around him into this "zone" of consciousness so that they could speak. In this place no time would pass outside, but years could happen inside. Gen then looked at the more than likely now forming Kurama and Akuma, as he sat on Isobu's head. He would speak softly, "I need your help. Let's take down Conker and Kurimuzon together, giving My wife some much needed back up. And in return I will duel you. Just me and you. And the winner can ask the other for knowledge of any of their techniques. Sound fair? I'll take on Kurimuzon, you grab Conker? Emi will use her acid more than likely.... so we should be careful. Will you aide me? It'll be an alliance not seen in years.", Gen had hoped his little brother would accept as he waited again for a response this time, scratching Isobu's head as he did.
The zone they were in, looked ancient, and had a ying yang symbol in he center on what looked like a raised circular pedestal. As Gen and Akuma were direct descendants of the Rikkudo senin, their blood allowed the zone, if either of them invoked it, to be that of the Rikkudo senin's palace. True, it only looked like it, but because of their blood, they could stay in this zone for as long as the invoker wanted. Intact Gen and Akumas last spar was held her, and raged on for what must have been months, ending in no clear victor, and slight trauma when they realized no time had passed in the real world. Only Akuma would be pulled in, as Conker and Kurimuzon were not close enough.

As the two kage fought inside Kurimuzons sand barrier, he sat still enjoying the show. thinking about what to do next; Kurimuzon looked to the ground underneath him, he stretched out his arm and slowly raised it up. Just below his hand, a hole in the ground began to take shape. from the hole Iron sand began to rise out of the ground. Kurimuzon looked down and smiled, he was ready to fight at last. The amount of Iron sand made with the sand Kurimuzon sent underground was the size of a forty foot solid box. of course most of it was still underground. Kurimuzon only pulled out enough iron sand to coat his hands and arms, up to his elbows. Kurimuzon pulled out one of his katanas and jumped on his sand cloud. The remaining Iron sand was spread out underground, in small amounts Near the Hokage. Seconds after he was on his sand he felt Something wrong with his barrier. Using his byakuugan kurimuzon found a clone of genkumaru's attempting to break into the arena he had made for the two kage to fight in. As the water hit his sand and made a hole large enough for someone to get through, it did not mean he would. Kurimuzon closed his hand and concentrated, this left him with only about a third of his chakra left. The sand surrounding the area all swarmed around Genkumaru's clone, if it did catch him, he would most likely be crushed and destroyed. Otherwise he would have to find a way to avoid such a large amount of sand coming at his at once, from where he was standing, once he broke through the barrier, the sand was all around him, this would make it very difficult to survive.
Kurimuzon make his sand cloud even smaller using what he took to make two clones which sprinted in each direction heading for Conker and Emi once again. When he reached them he made sure to make his presence know calling out to each of them. "Hey, listen up this is important. As you may have noticed the sand barrier is gone, that's due to Genkumaru, his clones are here and I don't think hes planning to stop there. I know you to want to fight each other, but that might not be possible without interference now." This time he spoke only to Emi, " I doubt you would help me fight your husband, but if you don't at least walk away or stand down I'll have no qualms about putting you down." The clone near Emi fell to the ground in a pile of sand and began floating back to Kurimuzon. The clone near Conker continued, "I didn't intend to ask any more favors of you, but if Genkumaru comes after me and wins, you're next. Help me get rid of him and feel free to do what you want afterword"
With that Kurimuzon headed in the direction of the Hokage, if she was still even there. Along the way Kurimuzon was in deep thought, if he was going to fight Genkumaru he would need everything at his disposal. Kurimuzon lifted up his left hand and the iron sand he hid near the Hokage rose from the ground, not hurting the Hokage if she was there. The Iron sand floated towards Kurimuzon and sitting the the air all around him, forming into blades. Kurimuzon took about twenty feet of sand from the mound that, possibly, covered Genkumarus clone that sand joined with his sand cloud. Kurimuzon closed his eyes and concentrated, "Shukaku I need you to replenish my chakra and than regenerate your own while I fight." Shukaku replied, "Oh? Why should I, you don't seem to be doing much with what you have anyway." Kurimuzon frowned and tried to reason with him, "Shukaku, what is it you want from me?" Shukaku chuckled, "I want you to spill some damn blood, everyone else is trying but you. Stop being such a pathetic worm and fight something." Kurimuzon was running out of patience, he needed chkra and he needed to as soon as possible, "What do you think I'm doing, Once I have enough chakra I'm going to fight Genkumaru, just give me chakra damn it. Don;t you want to finally fight?" Shukaku paused for a moment and sighed followed by another chuckle, "Fine, fine just make sure to use it to do some damage and all my chakra is yours." With that Shukaku refilled Kurimuzons Chakra. Kurimuzon rushed in Genkumarus direction on his cloud, taking all of his sand with him.

'Why hasn't he come yet?' This was the question echoing in Emi's mind, her eyes scanning the forested area thoroughly, yet finding nothing. He had to be planning something, but what? This wasn't going to be fun if he managed to use an attack on her. She relaxed her hands and dropped her arms to her side, watching her mist dissipate within a few moments. What was going on?
A shadow suddenly cast over her body, causing her to look up and see a weird rock formation above her. Where on earth did that come from! "Sneaky devil..", she murmured, narrowing her eyes on the swiftly falling, and rather large, rocks. She brought her hands together again, nagging herself about using too many techniques for purely defense, but it wasn't like she was going to drive her fist through his chest by simply running up to him! Three signs were made in rapid succession, "Suiton: Rekkū Suigeki!", and a burst of water erupted from Emi's open mouth, only to form into relatively large spikes in multitudes of ice capable of shattering rock.
Said ice-like spikes shot towards the rock right above Emi's head, so as to keep that one from crushing her. Having not focused on any of the others, that rock should've been obliterated by her counterattack, which would have the others crash around her and send her falling onto her back with few scratches, but otherwise unharmed.
At Kurimuzon's second appearance telling her of the fallen sand barrier, she was somewhat elated; her "Cat and Mouse" tactic didn't seem to be working at the moment. However, her elation soon dialed down at the man's next sentence stating "walking away" or "standing down" would keep her from being "put down". She chuckled as the clone disappeared into its little pile of sand. "Big words for a little man.", she chuckled once more and hurriedly began her trek towards Genkumaru's chakra. She would find Conker later, but for now she would continue what she was good at; hiding in wait for a time to strike. She bounded off deeper into the forestry, away from the Otokage and in a way that put her off her original path, basically in the middle of nowhere; she wasn't really near anyone. Emi would wait here and see what she could come up with to either assist or destroy, whichever came first. The Hokage would even mask her chakra to avoid having anyone tracking her too easily.
She didn't bother readying herself for anyone this time, she had wasted too much of her chakra, though she still had a little more than three-fourths left. Emi had to find some other way to fight.

Conker laughed wildly as he watched his tomb of rocks get somewhat dismantled by the Hokage. Why would he enjoy the failure of a technique so much though? The power! She had showed so much power her for being a hiding Kage and, thus, was a worthy opponent for him. That was changing though now as Kurimuzon came by with news of the Shogun breaking his barrier and it seemed Emi wasn't going to fight with or against her husband. Strange. Conker shrugged it off and stepped forward, his body plummeting to the ground below.
The Otokage strode forward and skidded to a stop at the Kazekage's side, a low sigh releasing from his lips, "You do realize that he will probably ask the Raikage for assistance, right? Two, high-ranking, village leading Uchihas.. We will need to stay next to one another if we're going to survive, even if that means we need to use a clone. Never go at them alone.", He said. He didn't mean to sound so.. bossy toward the man, but he had terrible experiences with the Uchiha clan and even more so when they were good ninja to begin with.
Conker inhaled a swift breath through his nostrils which was then exhaled through his lips. His hands raised to his chest and clapped together, soon erupting into a string of Katas before he inhaled once more, "Mandara no jin!", He called before his mouth opened and snakes began to erupt from his mouth by the thousands, slithering across the ground in front of Conker. They had no set path really, but to move forward and attack anyone that they may come across whether it be Genkumaru, Akuma or even Emi, should she be close enough, but that was unlikely.
Conker wiped his lips off and clapped his hands once more, a single snake escaping from his sleeve, coiling up his arm and stopping near his shoulder. Conker leaned toward the serpent and began to whisper something to it, a command of sorts. The snake nodded it's head and slithered off Conker, traveling at a quickened pace away from the fight in the opposite direction of it's brethren. Conker's lips turned up in a grin as he thought about his next course of action.
Conker's eyes dropped over to Kurimuzon once more, "We only need to hold them off for a little bit. If we can hold out for a moment, I will have the assistance we shall need for this fight.", He called out, hoping his plan would work.

Without bothering to say a word to his brother, Akuma retreated out of the mental connection. This was supposed to be an all out brawl, no alliances were supposed to be made. However, these people seem to care little, they seem to want to overpower their enemies with numbers. If this is the case, Akuma could do numbers, and he might as well. Though not because he was afraid he would be overwhelmed, but because he did not want this fight to go on for much longer. Nudging Kurama with his mind, Akuma informed him that he was going to use his chakra again, and that Kurama should set himself to recovering the lost chakra. Drawing upon Kurama's chakra Akuma formed the kata (Tiger - Snake) in order to preform the jutsu Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kōtan. Within seconds a new forest sprung up in the areas the previous had died, Akuma sat down on the tree branch he was standing in, allowing Kurama's chakra to fade.
Biting his thumb, blood would well up, Akuma formed the kata (Boar - Dog - Bird - Monkey - Ram) and slammed his hand onto the tree in front of him. The Kuchiyose no Jutsu took effect, causing a small explosion of smoke to appear before Akuma, once the smoke cleared, two toads stood before Akuma, the male being Fukasaku, and the female Shima. "Time to fuse and enter Sage Mode," Akuma stated as the toad couple became visible. The toad couple nodded in unison, Ma and Pa then jumped onto Akuma's right and left shoulders before forming the kata for the jutsu Senpō: Ryōsei no Jutsu. Within seconds the toads fused with Akuma, Fukasaku on his right shoulder and Shima on his left. Together the three set to gathering sage chakra, within a minute Akuma entered sage mode, and within four minutes Akuma had gathered a considerable amount of sage chakra.
Dropping to the ground, Akuma set to forming kata (Tiger - Dog - Snake) for the jutsu Tajū Mokuton Bunshin no Jutsu. Eight wood clones emerged from the plant life around Akuma, wasting no time, for they knew what Akuma wanted them to do. The clones stepped into the tree's around them the clones began traveling towards their targets. Within a minute five clones emerged from the trees around Conker and Kurimuzon. Two clones behind and three clones in front, the clones formed somewhat of a circle around the two kage. Forming the kata (Ram) to preform the jutsu Mokuton:Sashiki no Jutsu. The clones simultaneously raised their hands in a horizontal fashion, pointing all their fingers at Conker and Kurimuzon. The clones fingers turned to hardened, very sharp branches and shot out in the two kage's direction. This jutsu would take about three seconds before it reached the two kage, if this jutsu hit the kage, the wood, upon entering their body would multiply and spike outward in all directions. Mokuton:Sashiki no Jutsu has enough power behind it to pierce through most sand barriers, and can easily tear through a human body, and go through bone as if it were nothing more than paper.
The last three wood clones Akuma had dispersed, locked onto Emi's location, two of the three clone's stationed themselves inside two trees directly in front of where Emi should be in about ten seconds. The third clone waited about a hundred feet away inside another tree. The first two clones, concealed within trees, channeled their chakra into their respective trees and root systems, giving them full control over the tree. If Emi came within a few feet of the trees the clones would form several kata, causing the trees roots to harden and become sharp, the clones then forced the roots to shoot up from all directions at Emi. Should these roots impale Emi, they will multiply and spike out in all directions. The third clone would reveal himself only if it sensed that his brethren's trap was triggered. If the trap was set off the clone would travel to the area of the attack in a matter of seconds. The clone could move this quickly do to its ability travel through the trees and plant life. If the trap was triggered and if Emi survived the third clone would then fight her till one of them died.

Sensing what his brother had done after the connection was broken between the two of them. Gen then began traveling to where the most chakra signatures of his brother were. Gen could no longer think straight, as all he cared about was getting to his wife in time to save her. His clone that was closer to her, decided to attempt to get closer to Conker as he said loudly once close enough, "In Lord Raijins name. We may have to align.", and with that the clone would fade, having ran out of chakra. Gen still building up his chakra canon ran faster towards what he hoped was his wife. He couldn't be late.

Kurimuzon gazed out at everything around him seeing so much almost at once, right after taking one final look at the locations of each kage he deactivated his byakugan. He could see the Hokage heading off into the distance away from everyone, waiting for a more appropriate time to attack he assumed. Kurimuzon was rather relieved that the Hokage was moving away from them, although it was unexpected. He expected the Hokage to take his threat as a challenge and come after him while Conker made his way to Genkumaru, or perhaps Akuma. Thinking back he was lucky it didn't play out that way. As Conker jumped to his side, Kurimuzon listend to what Conker had to say and begun to formulate a new plan. "I agree, if they decide to work together however we wont have much of a chance to beat them, without a distraction." Kurimuzon smiled, "Perhaps the Hokage could help us indirectly?" Kurimuzon began to from sand clones, three of them, that instantly ran in the Hokages direction. "I'll ask for her help dealing with Akuma, maybe offer to something like an undisturbed fight with you. You'd be fine with that right? well for now we need to make our way towards the two Uchiha, avoid direct contact for now though."
The moment he finished speaking a clone of Genkumaru appeared and spoke to Conker, "Lucky us, we don't have to fight both of them at once. My clones are headed to Emi to, they should reach her the same time Genkumaru does. If I help him maybe he will consider helping us with Akuma." Seconds after that five wood clones were surrounding the two kage, "Shit, hope your ready Conker." leaving enough room on his sand cloud for Conker to climb on, kurimuzon began to evade their attacks. Two of the wood spikes managed to rip his robe to pieces, Kurimuzon threw it to the ground. His eyes widened, a certain anger began to rise in him. "That was my favorite fucking robe Akuma, I'm going to drown you in your own fucking blood!" Now very angry Kurimuzon shot all of his Iron sand blades at Akumas clones, the blade spikes can tear through stone, it would make large holes in the clones if it hit them. The speed at which the blade spikes were moving was extremely fast, bust still possible to dodge. Though he was angry, for no good reason, he knew it could be stupid to get into a brawl with five versions of a kage. So Kurimuzon rejoined Conker and waited for them to retaliate, readying himself for Akumas next attack.

Emi paused in her steps once landing on the tree, a good leap away from the clones embedded in the next tree. It was time to catch her breath and get a fix on where everyone resided at this time. Letting out a few puffs of air, she crouched down on the tree branch and focused. She sensed Conker and Kurimuzon some ways off, Genkumaru was headed this way and Akuma was standing away from everyone. Akuma's chakra kept fluctuating, so she had a feeling he was up to something; what this was she hadn't a clue.
Now that she was a good distance from everyone, maybe it was time to just keep tabs on everyone and conserve her chakra. She didn't know what anyone else was planning, but with her distance, maybe that wouldn't be too much of a problem. Now she just had to wait, either for Genkumaru to arrive or for something to happen. No reason to move from a spot she saw no danger in, and could still keep an eye out for everyone. Soon enough they would pick each other off and she would be there to quickly eliminate whoever was left.
Simple. But would it work?

Conker surged his chakra into his feet and tucked his arms into the sleeves of his kage robes. He leapt onto Kurimuzon's sand cloud and departed his robes, the wood spikes piercing his robes like swiss cheese, "What a shame. I was just getting used to actually wearing those.", he half grumbled. His hands came together to make a simple handsign, creating a single clone just behind him, "Be so kind as to go assist the Shogun and his wife.", he ordered and the clone vanished to obey. Conker released a low sigh as he dropped off the cloud to the ground below, the attack now over, but wait, what was this? A twinge of pain circulated it's way through to Conker's mind, registering that he had been injured, but when? Conker glanced down to see a slight gash in his left arm, blood trickling down it. [Huh. Akuma's attack must have hit me when I was trying to slip from my robes. Hadn't noticed.]
Conker tore his left sleeve and wrapped it around the wound, tying it tight in order to cut down circulation and cease the bleeding. Conker shook his head lightly as he tried not to allow the thoughts to get to him, he couldn't afford to let a distraction get the better of him right now, not in the middle of a fight this massive. Conker then noticed several snakes coming to his feet, carrying a rather large scroll with them, marked with a lightning bolt. Conker grinned lightly and leaned down to unravel the scroll just a bit, revealing a circle on the scroll that was around a kanji that read the name "Raijin", "Time to go to work!", he announced.
Conker made a long set of handseals (Dragon -> Boar -> Horse -> Tiger -> Dog -> Dragon -> Monkey -> Snake -> Tiger) and bit his thumb, making a kanji with his blood before slamming his palms onto the scroll, "Kuchiyose!", he yelled out, a cloud of smoke erupting from his scroll and a single coffin sits on the scroll, "This should be fun!", he yelled out. He then released a sigh and began to repeat the previous handseals and, should he be successful in that, well.. then it would be time for the contents of said coffin to be revealed.

The wood clones attacked by Kurimuzon dodged most of the projectiles, but not all of them. The ones that were hit had considerable sized holes in their bodies. Using the plant life around them, the clones regenerated the damaged parts of their bodies. All eight clones that were surrounding Kurimuzon and Conker rapidly formed hand seals, though four were preforming a different variation of the same jutsu Mokuton: Sashiki no Jutsu (8 clones: 40,000 points). Four of the wood clones, two that are in the front, and two that are in the back, raised their hands once again in order to shoot wood spikes from their fingers at the kage. The remaining four clones, one on either side, and the remaining two in the back, leaped at the two kage with what appeared to be the intent to land on their heads. Once the clones that had leapt at the kage came within five feet of them, they shot wood spikes out from every part of their body. If someone were to get caught in the clone’s range of attack, about six feet in every direction, they would be impaled. These wood spikes like all the previous will splinter out in every direction upon impact of flesh. Meanwhile, the clones hiding in the trees directly in front of Emi decided to take action. Instead of using their chakra to manipulate the tree’s they are in, the clones decided to use their chakra and manipulate the tree Emi is on. Using their chakra to manipulate the plant life, the clones caused very sharp and durable wooden spikes to shoot up from where Emi is standing in the tree. The spikes would shoot up in such a way as to impale someone from in front, behind, and below; these spikes would also form and shoot out almost instantaneously, thus leaving little time for reaction. If these spike’s succeeded in cutting or impaling human flesh, they would splinter out in every direction causing further damage.
While his clones were fighting, Akuma simultaneously set to perform his next jutsu. Forming the single hand seal needed (snake), Akuma put his next jutsu into effect Mokuton: Kajukai Kōrin (20,000 points). Everywhere in the forest, pollinating flowers sprouted from almost all of the existing trees, causing a knockout poison to be released in the air. This poison is extremely effective and cannot be avoided unless one had the ability to raise high above it, about twenty feet above the tree tops. One could regain consciousness through sheer willpower, but it wouldn't really do anything seeing as the person would more than likely still be inside the poison cloud, thus rendering them unconscious again. This being his jutsu, Akuma is immune to the effects of the poison.
Chakra: 400.000/400.000 Sage Chakra: 380.000/400.000 Kurama: 400.000/590.000 Accumulative Clone (11) Chakra: 510.000/550.000, 50.000 a piece

Gen continued his sprint towards his wife, sharingan active allowing him full view of the clones within the trees. He soon reached her as the tree began to grow spikes. Gen threw four sealing tags attached to kunai; each aimed at center mass of the tree. If they hit the tree at all, the chakra in said clones would be effectively sealed destroying the clones. Gen then weaved several hand signs with his free hand banding more chakra to his chakra cannon as the orb became even larger.
A chakra shroud swiftly formed over him, giving him a glowing light blue shroud that had black painted tomoe lined around his neck and his triple triangle seal on his stomach. Now within his full cooperation form he would be faster and more durable. Drawing life sever he would utilize his insanely high level of speed as he attempted to slash each tree in half almost instantaneously. If successful the ameterasu on his blade would continue to burn the clones and trees seizing their regeneration. Although not seizing the moment he would attempt to apply seals on them through his eyes that would work the same as the kunais seals while he was engaged in close combat.
His shroud would attempt to apply seals with its chakra hands as well this also having the same effect. His full on high-speed near instanteanous blitzkrieg if successful would render the wood clones useless and "dead.". Isobu would be speaking mentally to him, "Gen... your showing off.", to which he responded, "Its Akuma... Even his wood clones must be taken seriously.", Isobu would mentally nod as he asked Gen a simple question, "Maybe we should fight in tandem...", Gen chuckled as he nodded yes and said, "In due time.".
Gen would continue with attempting to apply the seals until the clones were destroyed. His sheer level of speed would make hia near impossible to track and the initial assault was done so fast that all the clones would be assaulted at once.
Chakra: 270,000/290,000 Isobu: 620,000/630,000
[Seals = 20,000 chakra cost total, 10 grand chakra cost from Isobu per turn for full cooperation shroud.]

Kurimuzon stood still, watching as Akuma's clones violently leaped at him and Conker; in the back of his mind a thought was prying at him, "What's the point of this?" The reason Kurimuzon came here was to see just how powerful his peers were, and to learn more about them; he now understood their strength, and he understoon the type of people they were. He left his village knowing that he was needed by his people, and he wanted to return to them. It was time to leave.
Kurimuzon sighed, and lifted him hands up. At lightning fast speed he began making hand motions. As the clones flying towards him got within a foot of him, and the clones on the ground launched their deadly spikes at him, A mass of sand quickly flowed out of his cloud, like a flood upon a small town. The sand instantly formed a barrier around Conker and himself. A much larger sand barrier then formed around Akuma's clones as well. The innermost barrier was about six feet thick, ten feet in diameter, and fifteen feet tall. The larger barrier was about five feet thicker, eight feet wider, and five feet taller. Once both barriers fully formed, taking no more than three seconds, the smaller of the two began to expand rapidly, and the larger barrier began to implode upon itself. (100 - Jiton use) Inside both barriers several spheres of iron sand were hid, 10 in each barrier. As the circular masses of sand moved closer together, they would slow anyone trapped inside from escaping, and keep the tapped individuals unaware and unprepared for their incoming assault. As the powerful Barriers collapsed upon each other, the opposing magnetic forces of the iron sand repelled each other. This created a mass of spikes launching out in completely random directions, at a nearly instantaneous rate. Satetsu Kaiho (x20 - 60,000) Right as the jutsu took effect, kurimuzon used his kekkei genkai to manipulate what was left of his pillow of sand, and move Conker and himself into the air. Kurimuzon decided he would try to avoid anymore contact with the other kage, so he could leave without a needless fight. "Sorry Conker, but I'm leaving. I don't feel the need to explain my reasoning for this, but good luck to you. I think it would be a shame to let you fight without a slight advantage though, i'll leave you with a small parting gift for your trouble. The mass of sand, and hopefully dead clone, began to separate; the sand began to flow all throughout the area. The tiny particles of sand could be used to find the location of anyone in the area, provided it came into contact with them. They were to small to notice, and when it spread throughout the forest, he would know where they were. Suna no Kanchi(300) As soon as he knew where everyone was, the sand clone, which Kurimuzon had just produced out of his cloud of sand, would tell conker any of their location. Hopefully they would not notice, though it would take a very keen eye to notice such tiny things floating in the air.
Kurimuzon turned and jumped off the cloud, deciding it was time to take his leave. As he fell, the sand he had raped inside his robes, shot out and created an even smaller cloud for him to float away on. Somewhere in the forest, One of kuriuzons sand clones was jumping form tree to tree. it's intention was still to reach the Hokage and now the shogun, and try to make a pact with them. As he made his way to the group, tiny particles of sand began swarming around him. The clone thought, "It must be a message sent by kurimuzon." Kurimuzon's clone watched as the sand began to from a message. "It's time we leave. Make your way to the shogun, and please tell him to release his barrier. Otherwise it will be destroyed, and that would give Kamua access to more plant life. I know he doesn't want that. The clone nodded, to no one, began moving at his top speed trying to reach the group ahead of him fast.
Within second the clone reached a small area with odd looking trees. The clone thought it was odd, that a tree would have such strange unnatural spike protruding out of it. He ignored them for the time being, he as important things to discuss. In front of him was the Shogun and the Hokage, that must be why the trees looked so strange. "I see Akuma must have attacked you both, looks like you took care of it though. Anyway I'm abandoning the fight, there's no more season to stay. Please Genkumaru, remove your barrier, if you don't it will be destroyed in ten minutes." The clone stood still waiting for Gens response, hopefully being, that the barrier would be removed. (jiton 100)
Chakra: 259,000/320,000 Shukaku: 255,000/510,000 Clones: 100 per clone

Post by Emi on Mar 5, 2013 5:53:07 GMT -8
The crashing foot fall of her approaching husband had Emi leaping back into the tree behind her, unsure whether he had come to help or not. Of course, she normally would've assumed he had, but, considering the circumstances, she didn't want to risk anything. The Hokage hid behind the tree to watch, hesitant to help when she saw him... Attack a tree? Hm, curious. When she saw he was apparently winning, she prepared to take off, that was until a rustling came from the nearby brush. Emi readied herself, but it was soon apparent that the one that had approached was not interested in fighting, which was good in this case.
Hearing Kurimuzon was taking leave, the woman assumed the fight was over and sighed while rubbing the back of her neck with her right hand before hopping off the tree branch she was perched on, her cloak swinging behind her as she landed and stood, her feet making a crunching noise when she landed in the leaves. She was slightly disappointed, but supposed it was all for the better. After all, who would be cleaning up the mess when things got out of hand; surely they would have. Nevertheless, she found herself somewhat glad it was over, yet said nothing to indicate such. "Well that was fun...", Emi muttered with a yawn that was now boredom as she put down her hood.
The Hokage proceeded to shuffle off into the forest, her right hand now swinging at her side. This had definitely been wasted time and chakra that could've been put to better use

Conker released a low sigh as he saw the attack coming onto him, his chakra and handseals entirely too focused on his Zombie Coffin to create a sound counter. This, however, was covered when Kurimuzon used his sand to effectively dispatch the clones Akuma sent and raise Conker off the ground once again and save him, "Greeaaaatttt. Now I owe him another favor. Hopefully he waits to collect on it.", Conker grumbled aloud as Kurimuzon departed the battle field, hoping the man would not hear his words. Now safely on the cloud of sand with his coffin, Conker finished the preparations, feeding his chakra into the coffin to re-open it (Cost: 5,000 chakra). A loud creaking noise echoed through the forest accompanying the opening of the coffin which had been used only once prior to this event. The man in the coffin, Raijin Himura who was known in his heyday as the "Lightning Hawk of Kumogakure" or more relatively to the battle as the Sensei to Conker and Genkumaru more than a decade ago, stepped forward onto the cloud next to Conker. The man was clad in a body-length black cloak with matching black boots, pants and gloves, a customized choice for Conker's Zombies. Raijin removed the hood of his cloak, his pale white hair and darkened emerald eyes becoming visible with the rest of his head which looked youthful and lacking any imperfections. Conker grinned wide and released a loud, wild laughter, "I'm going to tear you people to shreds!", He yelled out toward his remaining opponents. Conker simply snapped his fingers and Raijin jumped down, running toward Genkumaru and Akuma's clones.
Raijin began to go through the handseals (Tiger ? Dog ? Snake ? Dragon) need for the jutsu he planned to use and slid to a stop. A halo of light began to encircle his hands before the technique swirled around his right hand, "Ranton: Reiz? S?kasu", was all the man muttered in a dull, monotone voice before several beams shot from the man's hands, twenty in total (Cost: 2,000 of Raijin's Chakra) that flowed almost effortlessly toward the fighting brothers, hoping to collide with either one of them. The technique then disperses from around the man's hands as he waits for the reaction from his attack.
As for Conker's clone from earlier, who seemed to just be plain ignored by the men, it was in hot pursuit of Emi, baring Conker's knowledge of having a grudge to settle with the woman. It skidded to a stop when he saw her striding deeper into the forest, probably to head back to her village,"Are you giving up already, Lady Hokage?! Did you forget that we have something to settle?! Or would you prefer I wreak havoc freely amongst your village?!", He called out, hoping to antagonize the woman to the point of returning to the brawl and fighting with him.
Conker's Chakra: 345,000 / 350,000 Son's Chakra: 640,000 / 640,000 Raijin's Chakra: 997,999/999,999

Akuma sighed as all of this clones were destroyed, he never really meant for the to live for that long, but still it was annoying that they were brought down so easily. Then again Akuma is fighting other kage, so it really should be easy for them to get rid of his clones. Smiling to himself, Akuma debated whether or not he should go join the fight himself. He was confident he could rid himself of all opponents easily, though perhaps not his brother, that one would take some work. As he was debating over these subjects, Akuma noticed Kurimuzon heading off into the direction of one of the barrier walls, this more than likely indicated he was leaving. Akuma also noticed Emi making her way back to her village, though she was being flanked by one of Conker's clones. Finally deciding, Akuma would wait right where he was, that way his opponents would have to come for him, and by doing so they would have to step into his exploding trap.
Resigning himself to waiting, Akuma began to debate about how he could defeat his opponents, Genjutsu would not work due to the fact that everyone besides Emi is a jinchuriki. So Akuma would have to either beat his opponents with ninjutsu, taijutsu, or Samehada. Samehada being the more likely, for it has been yearning for a large meal. Then there was the problem of Conker's edo tensi, a very troublesome jutsu Akuma noted, and one he would attempt to counter with either Susanoo or Amaterasu. Sighing, Akuma noticed his sage chakra was once again full, so he signaled Ma and Pa that they could, if they wished, return to their home. Akuma felt a slight tingling feeling in his shoulder's as Ma and Pa un-fused and hopped down, though they did not leave, they just stood waiting with him.

Gen jumped back the moment he saw the first ranton bolt hit the tree. Landing a little ways away having killed all of the wood clones, he said two things each being meant for all of them, "The barrier will allow you to pass Kurimuzon but we really could use your aide, and my love? You should come back here, we will need your healing aide if we are to stand a chance against him. Brother of mine, cease the hostilities and let's turn our blades on Akuma. Only a great alliance of the four of us can hope to stop him now. I ask that you aide me in this. One last coordinated push. Are you with me my wife, brother and childhood friend?", he used a very minor pulsating genjutsu wave from his body to inspire courage in the others.
Noticing Lord Raijins edo tensei'd body he added, "With Raijin we can definetly succeed. You should make him autonomus though Conker... If you are with me... I ask that you lend some chakra to my chakra cannon here.", he held out the now odama rasengan sized ball of condensed chakra. He smiled and waited for a response after his hopefully successful rally of the troops. If they all agreed he would charge forward after the lent some chakra to the growing orb of destruction and be their spear point as the others hopefully carried on as ranged attackers.

Kurimuzon's clone stood and watched as Gen gave his little plea for help, the clone let out a low sigh. The clone extended its left arm in the direction of the real kurimuzon, looking as though in it was in deep thought. Seconds later its body began breaking into sand, and flying towards its maker. While the genjutsu did work on the clone kurimuzon was too far away for Gens genjutsu to reach him. As the floating mass of sand reached Kurimuzon, and formed again, it explained its feeling on the situation. "I believe it would be best to stay and fight, we owe the shogun that much."
"You're very enthusiastic for a clone of me. I had no interest from the start, and I still don't. From what Genkumaru said to you, he's having a hard time; he sounds like he was manipulating you, somehow. I know that little speech wouldn't have changed my mind, Perhaps he altered you..." As he spoke to himself he forced his clone to disappear into his floating sand cloud and immediately left through the barrier. "I don't care what my clone thinks, I have no interest in staying and fighting your battles for you."
The clone kurimuzon left with Conker gave him the locations of the other kage, apparently they didn't notice the sand particles floating around at all, and then disappeared. As kurimuzon flew off, he thought about what he learned about the other kage; he decided he rather liked them, though he didn't trust any of them at all. He was happy to be going home, his involvement in this fight was over.
