A ranking request....

(I know this is all rubble, but, rubble is fun to play on... )

*I appear on top of a large piece of rubble that extends over the top of the rest, as I look around. Having not been here very long, I decided it was best to blend in as much as possible as I try and track Kama further. I activate my Raikogan, and the nerve manipulation, as I await a ranking proctor, wondering if I was to be accepted here*

-*Since Mahk-X was back in business, so was his various clones. But he was a kid so he only had a couple active. This one just happened to be beneath the rubble pile that Kuwa was on top of. It began to shake violently until it was tossed 500 miles upwards, with our without Kuwa with it. Mahk-X stood and looked at the sky-*

"I Was wondering how long I was going to be burried under there..."

-*His eyes glowed and began synching the information, it seems that the uni-mind won the battle. great! when the slab came crashing down it broke on mahk-x's head. He didnt feel a thing-*

"Might as well get to fixing the place then... wait..."

-*Mahk-X stopped, he then spoke out loud-*

"I know you're here... I can see you"

*I would step out from behind another piece of rubble not to far behind Mahk-X, glaring at him. I had vanished the moment the vibrations had started. I looked over at the kid, wondering why he was under so much rubble. Then seeing the large piece hit his head, and him not even flinching, it kinda came into play*

Hello there.....

*I would wave to the kid, wondering if he was a ninja of this....well, what once was a village*

You live here....or lived here...?

-*Mahk-X would turn his head slightly looking at the child who vanished when he surfaced himself. Fast kid... but he had seen MUCH faster. Mahk-X smiled-*

"I'm the Kage of this..."

-*mahk-x stopped and looked around and sighed-*

"village... and you are?"

*I raised my eyebrows as Mahk-X sighed, and looked around at the mess*

I'm sorry about...well, whatever happened....I am Kuwa Kento....I came here, to....

*I stopped a moment. Why was I here?*

I'm searching for someone or something....but before I find them or it, I have to establish myself....so that's why I came to the alliance....unless thats no longer together.....

*It would a very big pain if I had come here only to find no alliance....*

"Well yeah... there was one created to stop the thing that did all this damage"

-*I would turn around and face my floating shogun castle in the distance and back to dude ass-*

"Establish your self? Like as a ninja? So you want a ranking exam... And Im only assuming you're trying to find Kama."

-*I would sniff the air, but in reality I would be taking in Kuwas carbon signature-*

"You smell like him... well come on! I've been laying under a rock for three days, give me a good stretch!"

*My eyes suddenly narrow at the mention of Kama's name*

I assume you know him then......?

*My lips curl to a slight smile. Guess it was easier finding him than I had thought*

Alright, I'll give you a go.....

*I smile, as my hand touches Shinkira, and as it does, I vanish again, the dust from the rubble kicking up where I had been moments before. There would a sound of slicing wind blades, as 7 kunai shot down from above, each covered in the slicing power of wind chakra, as there would be another sound of chirping, as a lightning clone appeared at either side of Mahk-X, each thrusting Shinkira at his sides, the Shinkira carrying a normally lethal shot of current electricity, shooting down and out through the blades. I would be no where in plain sight, but still on the battlefield no doubt*

-*I would instinctively root my body in the ground and backfist the two clones that appear on either sides of me seinding them flying elsewhere for miles on end then extend my palm to the sky and use my massive strength to send a force of air deflecting the kunai elsewhere-*

"I defeated Kama in battle once..."

-*I would say turning towards the direction Kuwa was, since I can see him with my diamond eye, cross my arms and wait for his next attack-*

*I watch Mahk-X from a distance, watching his every move. I would make a few hand seals, as suddenly the rubble around Mahk-X would break down to sand, which would begin to spin around his area very fast, like a sand hurricane, but not quite that big. After a few moments of this, many, many 10ft long quills would form out of the sand, and then shoot towards Mahk-X from all directions, and all angles possible, trying to pierce him some way some how. As the sand quills shot towards him, a sand clone appears on the ground behind Mahk-X, and signs, hitting the ground* Static Trap! *There would be a sudden build up of static electricity and lightning chakra clouding around Mahk-X's legs, and between his feet and the ground. The Static Trap was ment to hold opponents to the ground with a very strong static cling, if it was to work, he would be un able to move. Then clone would look up at Mahk-X*

That couldn't have been too hard.....too bad you didn't injure him permanently.....

-*Me, being the master of all things earth and such would slip into the ground during the whole projectile onslaught of pwnage. It was a creative move and probably would have worked on someone chuunin, maybe a special jounin...nah-*

"I'm sure if I wanted to I could have.."

-*I would say surfacing from the ground a bit close to Kuwa maybe 30 feet-*

"I'll give you one more chance to fight from a distance before I come at you."

-*I would cross my arms and float off the ground slightly awaiting the next move-*

Earth Style hum......

*I say simling slightly. I quickly sign, as a build up of ions starts around me, causing a static shield to appear around me. Several lightning clones also appear around me, as we all vanish. There would be more chirping, as one clone shoots out of the ground, a Chidori aimed directly at Mahk-X's back, as another clone appears in front of him, having Shikira unshealthed. The clone would then thrust Shinkira at him, causing a very large lightning bolt to shoot off of the end, straight towards Mahk-X. As the lightning bolt leaves, there would be a sudden shift in ions all around Mahk-X, as two Ion Fields appeared on either side of him, making it extremely difficult to move to either side, and to most people would be impossible considering the brute force of the ion field barrier power. There would be one last sound, as the lightning bolt was launched from the clone, as I appeared in the air above Mahk-X, Shinkira in the hand that also held Shouten, as it powered up, as I also then thrusted the sword downwards towards Mahk-X. A lightning bolt would flash, hitting Shinkira, and super boosting its power, as Shouten added to the force of the current, causing a massive lightning bolt to surge down at Mahk-X, the lightning bolt quite a bit more powerful than the one the clone shot, as it was boosted by 125% by Shouten, and then adding my chakra and the lightning bolt, it would be quite destructive. After launching the massive lightning bolt, I would vanish again, reappearing behind some more rubble, still watching*

((I hope you know how much chakra you are using here... you arent Kama the sannin, but Kuwa the gennin.))

-*I could have done a multitude of things to get out of the situation, but this particular test was to see how much Kuwa could damage a Kage like myself, so standing and taking the attack with only my natural defenses was my tactic-*

"Why attack earth with lightning?"

-*I forgot Kuwa didnt know that my entire diamond skeleton was one of the hardest substances in the universe and there are only a couple things in this universe that can even dream of piercing my hide. A super lightning charged sword wasnt one of them. The purpose of me being rooted to the ground was so that my body can function as a lightning rod, diamond is actually a good conductor for electricity, and since the inside of me is rather hollow since im a nobody I wouldnt feel a thing against these lightning based attacks of ownage, but this attack might be able to harm Walter or Val, two special jounin I took notice to. The first clone that attempted to use Chidori to strike me would simply break his fist upon contact, the lightning would be sent through me to the ground without piercing me, the other clones uber lightning bolt blast would do the same, no damage. The final onslaught by the real Kuwa would simply be a powered up version of everything else, but it would ultimately be conducted and routed towards the ground and dispersed throughout the planet. Ultimately I would emerge unscathed and turn towards Kuwa who manages to escape after every one of his attacks... its annoying-*

"My turn... one punch from me should kill you"

-*I would stomp the ground sending a skyscraper sized stone slab at Kuwa, going at speeds just as fast if not faster than he can move. If the slab was made of diamond he would probably be screwed. Upon launching the slab, I disappear from sight-*

(Yep, took that into consideration, thanks )

*I quickly fall to the ground, assimilating into the earth as I see the slab shooting towards me. I then rise out again on the other side, looking around to see where Mahk-X had disappeared too. I still had the ion field around me, plus a Full-body chidori was activated after I slid out of the ground. I would also touch the ground, producing a summoning spell, as a large porcupine appeared next to me. It was larger than a large wolf, and had its quills extended outwards. My chakra was being depleted quickly, so I had desided to go defensive, since Mahk-X wasn't in visible sight. I had also erected a few ion fields around, so that if Mahk-X decided to shoot towards me, I would know before hand, and hopefully have enough time to react*

Lighting happens to be earth's weakness in most cases.....but I see since your mastery over earth is more than my mastery over lightning, it wasn't so.....in this senario.....

*I would wait, looking around, as I had on hand in my pocket, and the other on Shinkira's handle, I was as ready as I was going to be*

-*upon Kuwa appearing where I 'left' the immediate area would instantly turn into a sheet of diamond holding kuwa in place just by him merely touching the ground, he was stuck in his summoning position with his hand pinned to the ground with his head facing down wards, he was pinned, him and his summoned creature.-*

"In order to master the human lightning rod technique the user must rid them self of all flesh from their bodies... Because my Kekkei Genkai, carbon infusion, allows me direct control of carbon atoms giving me direct access to an advanced diamond earth release this is very possible"

-*I would say upon appearing in the air looking down on kuwa in this pitiful position, because using diamond in the fashion that I do requires my kekkei genkai it would be ultimately impossible for Kuwa to assimilate. i could simply stop him from doing so, i could have all along but that would have been entirely too cheap-*

"only one finger..."

-*I would extend my index finger tightening the grip of the planet and focusing the various energies into my index finger and appear above Kuwa slamming my finger down upon his back crushing him into oblivion, this would be a very small fraction of my strength, whatever defenses Kuwa had up could simply not prepare him for the world known strength of mahk-x... much like so:-*

(So pleasent.....)

*I would be untimately pinned, and struck, folding into the, ah, diamond ground likewise. The only two things that would happen otherwise. One, the porcupine would have released a very large amount of quills at Mahk-x the moment he appeared, although, with his exoskeleton, they would just bounce off. The other thing was my healing factor. Sure, I was smushed into the ground, and sure, I was finished, but my healing factor would have kept me just enough alive, and amazingly conscious. My chakra pretty much gone, and in my current state, I would just lay there, accepting defeat, not that I had much choice in the matter. I didnt even speak it out, not that I really could*

(Its how I rank people... I call it the 'pwn and rank' technique. You will enjoy the results)

-*I would slam my fists together letting out a dome of blue energies around the general area, these blue energies would be chrono chakra, the essence of time it self. The dome would swirl counter clockwise rewinding time to the point before I uber poked Kuwa in the back. To him it would seem as if an instant just passed by, but he would still feel the pain of the impact. How pleasant?-*

"So... that was decent"

-*I would say cracking my neck, the earth responds accordingly shaking in agreement with my relaxation-*

"Im going to give you special jounin, at your current level you can tango with the likes of some special jounin I know. I also encourage you to join a village, if you drift about you may not be able to reap some of the special benefits a village has to offer. You may join the twilight like your brother if you like..."

-*I would look down at Kuwa who was still in his pinned position, I would then snap my fingers and release him accordingly allowing him to stand up-*

(Its interesting, I'll say that much....)

*I get up, my entire body aching, and my healing factor doing nothing about it. There was nothing to heal*

Join a village, huh.....?

*I look up at Mahk-X, using some of the last of my chakra to deaden the major nerves so that the pain lessens quite alot*

I suppose that would put me closer to him.....very well, I'll join this village.....and I suppose that means your my sensei....?

*I put up a smile, as much as I could muster, as I look at Kham, and then bow respectfully*

Thank you for the opportunty, Mahk-X sensei.....

(Its the best way to do it...)

"Yeah you'll be closer to him, but to be honest I have absolutely no way to tell where he is at this point. You're on your own now... but take this"

-*I reach in my pocket and toss Kuwa a twilight village headband smiling back to him as he bowed. Luckily he didnt get ranked by ZK or else he would have kicked him in the face... Mahk-X was tempted to do so in memory of his deceased comrade, but at the pained state Kuwa was in he would have died from a kick in the face-*

"You're welcome by the way... any questions?"

Only two....

*I would say, shifting slightly*

First, you mentioned before that each village had certain benefits to it.....what benefits are we talking about here?

*I stop for a second before continuing*

Second, can you tell me, honestly, how much has....my brother, grown.....?

*the last question was more important, as I needed to know what I was going up against. I waited patiently for Sensei to speak*

-*I would filp my hair out of my face before preforming a sitting motion, while I sit my ass down a chair of a silver sheet of diamond would rise to meet me accordingly. I then put my face in between my hands-*

"Well... The Chaos Village, which is a couple hundred miles west has Shinigami abilities at their disposal. You can inquire about those at your leisure.The Reality Village, which is on the opposite side of the planet has soul abilties. While we, the twilight have the Geass' and another project that is currently under development. And to answer your second question... Kama can compete on my level. You have a long way to go

*I would nod, stating my understanding of what is stated. I didnt like to hear it, but I had to accept it*

I better get going then....thank you for your time, sensei.....if I need you, I will come to find you....

*I bow again, and then vanish from sight, moving somewhere to heal and rest*

"Well... time to get to rebuilding"
-*I would flip out of the chair and firmly plant my feet in the ground, the world would respond by shaking violently. I would then respond by doing advanced earthbending motions, surfacing steel and metals to reconstruct buildings and slabs of earth, magma and heat to weld things together. I Would be at this for a day or so-*
