[Akizakura Terumi]

Akizakura strummed her fingers across the surface of her desk, not happy in the least. Then again, it rarely seemed like she was happy. Having defeated and killed her sister years ago and rightfully gained the position of Mizukage, her tolerence level had severly decreased. She missed the freedom she had when she was wandering around, having absolutely nothing planned and doing whatever the hell she wanted. Having control over her village was empowering and all, and she was glad to see the strength of her shinobi rise, but nothing seemed to fulfill her anymore. Especially with the trouble she was having with her youngest. From how she acted to when a blood covered shinobi entered the room to the sight of weapons of any kind, she would never grown up to be a shinobi. What would the girl do if Akiza was to suddenly depart from this world? Yes, an unlikely scenerio, but it's been happening to Jashinists as of late, mortal or not. Masato had warned her to be cautious of strangers who she dealt with.

Pushing the strands of white hair that weren't hold back by her high ponytail out of her face, Akiza threw a kunai at the door, in a means to try and entertain herself.

[Akuma]

It was this time...the moon was rising as the sun disappeared around the village and Akuma slipped in within the night's cloak. Though wearing a bright white cloak those who looked at him seemed to just...not pay any attention as his feet moved fast, making the robe look like a ghost more than anything else. There was a meeting of all the Missing-Nin, given out by the Mizukage...the same girl he'd met years ago who followed the path of complete evil. A path that Akuma had watched her, for years, day by day taking a step down while there was nothing he could do. There were things the Devil had to do still in Sunagakure. However, that being done and over with, it left him with a large period of time to do whatever he wished. That...that was to destroy all the Jashinist and finally rid them from this world. Slowly, over the ten years, he's killed off a lot of their priests, using his Kekkei Genkei to his advantage.

The Mizukage's Tower was surprising...not as protected as Akuma thought it would be. Slipping by the guards...standing right in front of them as they did nothing...it showed how perfectly Akuma's personal-made Genjustsu worked. An S-Rank special Genjutsu, it made him invisible to the naked eye, making him impossible to track and to find. An amazing jutsu indeed...

Walking the halls of the tower...he searched for the Mizukage...to finally kill her, what he should have done years ago. Her and the High Jashin Priest Masato.

[Akizakura Terumi]

Continuously throwing her kunai against the door, something that appeared as a rock began to shake before the head of a turtle poke out, looking up to his summoner. "Akiza, there's an intruder. He's a sly fellow, managing to slip through the guards and we didn't even pick up a chakra signature. Toshiro just barely noticed the vibrations his feet made as he passed by her outpost." The turtle informed.

Akiza raised an eyebrow in curious amusement at the news she was told. Apparently her guards were lacking in detecting enemies. That needed to be fixed immediately. Whoever they were, they were good, and if her expectations were right, this was the Jashin Hunter. For a moment, AKiza wondered if the man had faced any immortal Jashinists as of yet. It would be interesting to see how he managed to kill the immortal if he's done so. "Let him make his way here. Our guest requires a special introduction to the Blood Mist." Her reply was simple and the turtle immediately retreated back into its shell, relaying my message to the other hidden turtles posted around the building.

Standing up, she picked up the large scroll she kept at her side incase of a situation like this and strapped it into its usual place at the small of her back. Then opening the window, she gave one more order to her summon, "When he makes his way here, tell him to come to the roof. I'd rather not make a mess of my office. I wouldn't want to clean it when I return." And with that, she silently burst out from the window.

[[You can play the turtle in your own post if that would make it easier for you, Akuma.]]

[Akuma]

Akuma continued making his approach to the Mizukage’s office knowing very well who was behind that door…behind that desk, working on whatever must be on the Village’s best interest. Of course none of the guards discovered his intrusion…but with that level of a Genjutsu of course they hadn’t. It was as if you searched for a needle in a haystack…an nearly impossible, but still possible, goal. The guards looked weak however…so he didn’t worry about that kind of thing. Reaching out his hand pressed the door wide open…only to discover…

…nothing…no-one here…was this real? Over in the corner, a small turtle in its shell, it was Akiza’s summoning animal. An interesting one…none-the-less but one that could be useful in the end. Letting the Genjutsu fall and the door close behind him the turtle popped it’s head and looked at Akuma. ”…the Mizukage sends a message to you, saying you must meet her on the roof.” The turtle’s head disappeared as Akuma approached the window and pushed it open before following after the Mizukage.

The roof was wide open and it had enough room to finish this fight once…kill Akiza and finish off the High Priest. Jumping, the white-robbed landed just across from the new Mizukage, the robe flowing in the wind, making the man look like a horrible figure of death…the hood over his head making a black mask of darkness, hiding his identity. ”Akiza…the new Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village…your time has come…the path of evil you’ve followed has brought nothing be destruction and evil. As you, and your immportal breathen, shall be ended one and for all.”

[Akizakura Terumi]

Akiza's own black cloak fluttered in the wind as she stood waiting. Upon noticing the man had finally jumped up from her office and to the roof. He was shrouded in a white cloak, a hood covering his face and hiding his identity. Smirking, she turned and faced him, her arms crossed in front of her chest. "You're obviously skilled to have killed so many of us Jashinists. Even sneaking past my shinobi is quite a feat, though it seems you got past them too easily. But I'm on a whole 'nother level then the rest of them. Show your face so I know who I will be killing." The woman spoke in a bored tone of voice, but her blue eyes looked over the man, trying to figure out who this guy was.

[Akuma]

"You are no stronger than any shinobi I passed on my travels here...you are just another lost soul who's been damned to hell for the evils you've brought." Akuma spoke emotionless and...almost none-different from when the two had met years ago. The two arms on his side seemed to just rest at his sides softly,,,before long, fluidy liquid strains of thick, red water. Blood...Akuma's well-known Kekkei Genkei: The Chi Style. "My identity you already know Akiza...as I know you...as I've followed you as your shadow for many years, observing your movement within the Jashinist Religion. You were so much better than them...but joining their ranks made you weak in body and mind." The long, appendage-like whips crystalized, but where still flexible like a whip...

"Come Mizukage...meet your death by the hands of the angel of death, Akuma...the Devil of Sunagakure"

[Akizakura Terumi]

Akiza froze as she heard the name, the hand which had formed a hand sign behind her back fell to her side.. "Akuma?" The image of the boy she had met so long ago flashed in front of her eyes. A frown covered her pale lips as she flicked her bangs out of her face. "It's been quite a while. You seem to be..........well."

Seeing him again, she wasn't quite sure what to do. The times they had come across eachother during their travels, they'd had a mutual.....companionship, or something of the like. "Becoming a Jashinist has done anything but make me weak. It's done quite the opposite in fact. I would have died if I had gone up against my sister if I hadn't become a Jashinist. THis village would still be a weak, worthless home for mediocre shinobi. I did something my sister never could."

Something was telling Akiza not to engage in battle with this man and, unfortunately, she always listened to her consscience.

[Akuma]

"If you call that winning...you are still nothing than a weak mortal who has done nothing but bring horrid to the life of this village. They were far better how they were, I already risked my life once to save this village, and I will do it again. My Kekkei Genkei...immortals like yourself, the other Jashinist, they cannot survive. I will rip you into shreds...where you cannot return. No man, or even the best Medical Nin in the world, can bring you back from where you will go." Akuma flicked his wrist gently as the whip snapped and did the same with the other to make sure that they were working properly... "Any last words Jashinist scum?"

[Akizakura Terumi]

Akiza gritted her teeth in frustration, leaning forward slightly to prepare to either dodge or attack, her hand over the kunai pouch on her leg. "You're a narrow minded fool, Akuma. Things are never just black and white; one is never just simply good or evil. There is always gray in between; things you could never understand." Akiza's blue eyes bored into Akuma's, or atleast she thought they were seeing as he was still wearing his hood.

"I cannot let you kill me, Akuma. So for the sake our our past companionship, leave. I won't give you the chance to walk away again." The Mizukage internally hoped he would go. She didn't want to fight him, kill him. It was strange, but she actually cared.

[Xander Umahaga]

"You are wrong you ignorant fool...is that the path of the Jashinist? Ignorance? Speaking babble about the gray in between the White and Black...you don't think I don't know the gray? I have LIVED in the gray void between the two. So is the life of a Missing-Nin. However you, you dare speak as if the Jashinists were in this samem place? However...that is not the case. You are evil...your wrongful religion is the black to the white, the evil to the good. Step out from your damn delusions and see the wrongs you've done!" Akuma spoke more intimidating as his own white robes seemed to just flow with the wind's direction and the whips made from his blood laid softly on the roof of the Hokage's tower. There was no way Akuma would walk away...her threats, empty, for he's killed many immortals like herself. She is just another stepping stone to bring their Religion down.

"You threaten me, however, I have the upper-hand. Would you like to taste my blood? Would you like to be ripped from the inside out? Come now...don't be shy....I am going to enjoy this Mizukage. How you beat your sister, I will never know."

[Akizakura Terumi]

"I never said Jashinists weren't evil, and I never said they belonged in the gray. I am quite aware of what I have done, and you're a hypocrite for calling me out on my actions. You're a missing-nin too; someone who has broken their bonds from their village; somone who has killed. If you haven't slain someone, deemed "good", then you are wrongfully called a missing-nin."

The way he spoke to her, it was enfuriating. He acted as if he was so righteous, killing the wicked Jashin believers. "Just because someone belongs to a group which is deemed "evil", or does "evil" actions, that doesn't make that person evil. Sometimes people make bad decisions to make sure they survive."

[Akuma]

Scoffing at the remark Akiza made, Akuma seemed to be a little more joyful, seeing the ignorance in her ways and ideals. "If someone does deeds that are deemed evil, that does not mean they are an evil person? Do you even listen to yourself Mizukage? That make a paradox in of itself. How else would one be determined evil if evil deeds do not make them so?" The response, of course, was more sounding like a riddle than anything else. Surprisingly, Akuma still stood strong where he was, knowing very well that the Mizukage had no chance in hell...and if she regonized this, and surrendered, maybe he would spare her life.

"If you wish to keep this non-important discussion going, I will cut you down where you stand. I have dedicated my life to killing people as if yourself...and if you simply surrender, I shall show you mercy for this day. Akiza-chan."

[Akizakura Terumi]

AKiza's eyes narrowed dangerously as Akuma spoke to her in a condescending tone. "Evil people are created by humans doing evil deeds in which they feel no remorse or feeling for. But you're right, this conversation has gone on for too long. I would greatly enjoy watching you 'cut me down' Akuma-kun. I never surrender." Pulling out the scroll from her back, she pressed her hand to the paper and a large demon wind shuriken appeared. Preparing to throw it, she stared straight at the man. "It's your decision, AKuma."

[Akuma]

"Akiza-chan...you are a fool." Before Akiza could realize it, Akuma was gone from her own eye sight as the Genjutsu was set into place and effects became clear. The man who once stood in white robes was gone...completely disappeared in the middle of air. Akuma, whipping the crystals a bit more, though no sound of them crackling reached Akiza's ears, Akuma stepped forward before readying the attack on the Mizukage. Her death, like the others, will be slow...and painful...
