Koji looked over his shoulders towards the Hozuki, and back towards the Kirigakure refugee's.

"I hope you hold no ties to your former village, Hozuki. The work of the Lord is about to begin, and these lands will be drenched in blood. The moment every land of this earth has been drenched, and the seed has cultivated enough energy, only then will Lord Jashin return to this world. He will blossom from the tree, and use my body as a catalyst to return."

A smile now greeting the duo before digging into his pouch pulling a barrage of kunai's, a glistening light reflecting off his weapons before lunging them all towards Rahyo.

Hozuki, Kilgetsu(The sharp toothed child) takes from his position in a mere instant, extending a hand to take a firm grip on the Kubikiri. Moving forward he travels in haste, his singular eye bouncing in between both the Chuunin. Behind him he's seemed to extend the handle of the Kubikiri in preparation for what is to come. The overall length now increased to portray the true size of the weaponry.

(3 Tiles forward. Extending Kubikiri Handle.)
The pale, crow-haired figure remembered something at this moment. "Jashin? I haven't heard that name since Muten. Your religion is adamant in how it revives itself every other generation. I will give you that."

They form three hand seals at blurring speeds before unleashing a wind that knocks all of the incoming kunai off course. Its excess intending to push Koji backwards unless evaded. Meanwhile Rahyo backs up preventing their enemy from getting too close.

(C- Dmg, C- Speed. Knockbackwards 6 tiles.)

As the weapons were knocked of course, the Zealot didn't seem to phased by the sense the pressure of the wind was coming his way. The Jashin a master of all trades continuing to push forth in a tread towards his opponent as his balance didn't seem disrupted in the slightest.

His hand now drawing towards his blade keeping his hand on the hilt for the time being.

(Flawless equilbrium ignores knockback according to your perk, 2 pursuit)

The pale, crow-haired figure continues to back up away from the approaching zealot. They immediately act to form another hand sign -- only one. Massive blocks of ice erupt from below, forming a chain of pillars that block the incoming weapons. If for whatever reason needed, Rahyo himself would evade them though he maintains confidence in his ice to do the work for him.

They reach their target, aiming to trap the zealot from within themselves amidst a surging wave of frosty winds that still yet pushed the man further away from the Yuki.

Koji continued his pursuit towards the pale, crow-haired figure. The chain of pillars errupting from the ground as the Zealot began to shift from one location to the next like a mere blur. His figure was empheral, and the distance between the Jashin, and Yuki was broken almost instantly.

"You truly believe such a technique is enough to capture me?"

He questioned raising a brow now throwing a solid fist towards Rahyo.

(Jarring blows with B- str, speed doge with escape artist as your technique is B+ speed, and theres no mist on the field so Yukionna doesn't work)

Koji Koji continued his pursuit towards the pale, crow-haired figure. The chain of pillars errupting from the ground as the Zealot began to shift from one location to the next like a mere blur. His figure was empheral, and the distance between the Jashin, and Yuki was broken almost instantly, but as he was mere inches away from engaging his opponent, Koji seemed to become incased like a frozen sculpture.

"Interesting.."

He muttered to himself as his fist now balled tightly before thrusting forward shattering the ice almost instantly.

A smile acompanying his lips once more as another fist was thrown towards the Yuki with massive force. The sheer strength of his blow enough to cause the Yuki to feel a punch that was akin to jarring.

(A- str escaped instantly, Odachi+Jarring blows as Odachi can strike from 1 tile away)
Koji's strength: (A-)
The pale, crow-haired figure gives a subtle smirk at the sight of their prison shattering from the weight of their enemy's fist. "What's Jashin feeding you people? You're quite strong to be breaking ice." At this distance, Koji fails to get close enough for their odachi to reach.

At speeds imperceptible to the human eye, Rahyo executes a series of special seals that would not register among any known to be used. "However. Can you break a dragon?" Cold winds surge around the veteran Yuki once again, pushing the zealot away as a thick, monsterous dragon of ice races in to slam into the young man's body. And hopefully, end this battle.

(The pale, crow-haired figure)
Koji mouth opened in awe somewhat interested in what was being revealed. A sculpture made of ice now materializing into a dragon was revealed as it aimed to maw into the Jashinist, and put an end to the battle.

"I guess I should stop playing around."

Koji proclaimed, his wounds prior mending together almost instantly as if nothing ever occured to him. It was evident he was truly a perfect image of Jashin, the King of this earth. Despite Jashin being considered a religion, it was truly more to them that met the eye, one would even consider them an alienated being.

Koji's left hand now drawing upwards as a bright crimson light began to hum. Upon close inspection there was a hieroglyph symbol etched across his body, the seal now resonating as multiple markings across his body began to spread, his skin pigment now turning into an onyx color, iris shifting into a boisterious white, and a massive onyx aura shrouded around his frame. He had became the true epiitome of death, his figure lingering, and blurring from view now appearing at the side of Rahyo.

The pale, crow-haired figure held only a neutral gaze. "I wonder what the old Sunagakure taijutsu masters would think, with how many outside their village use their technique." 

There was nothing else to say once the man had tapped into this power. Their wounds, healed. Their ability to dodge his techniques magnified to great limits. It was time to further test how far the Jashin could go. Rahyo continues to back away before forming a single hand sign with one hand, again at imperceptible speeds with unique gestures. They create two mirrors of ice. One, within which they're immediately merged while out of Koji's reach. The other, somewhere only those with impeccable eyesight could notice, the Yuki rapidly moves into without any prior notice. Yet, their image reflects in both.

As the mirrors seemed to materialize out of thin air, the Zealot made his way towards the first mirror. He examined the proximity, and came to realize there was a mirror high into the air, and another closer by, and thus the epitome of Death drew near.

"Come out, come out wherever you're."

The Zealot hummed, a smile drawing across his lips as he began squeezing tightly almost suffercating his fist before throwing a massive blow towards the mirrors almost shattering them instantly. If Rahyo happened to be inside the mirrors he would more then like crumble to his inveitable death.

[C-Rank Mission | Low Risk | 1/2]

Koji watched from afar as Rahyo seemed to continue to coward in fear.
"I take it you plan to hide for the remains of the fight?"

He questioned flinging a shuriken towards Rahyo as he simply watched in awe.
Yuki, Rahyo(The pale, crow-haired figure) simply remains wherever they are. The shuriken failing to hit, falling back down to the earth in an attempt to reach the sky.
As the shurikens failed to reach its mark,the Zealot shrugged his shoulders now making his way towards the Hozuki. He saw no reason to pursuit someone who was out of range, and fled from combat.

"Truly a coward. Lord Jashin will curse you soon."

He muttered underneathe his breathe.

The lanky, snow-haired boy allows his technique to come to an end. Instead of blasting the Hozuki with ninjutsu, he hurls a set of shuriken towards his legs.

Koji slowly prepared to join his partner in combat.

Hozuki, Kilgetsu(The sharp toothed child) easily evade the shuriken with a side step, he seemed to be well with in his comfort zone. A hand rising where it'd point a finger towards his opposition. Like a gunshot water is sent sailing in the direction of the Hozuki. Threatening to pierce him through the chest.

"Slow down will ya!?" The Hozuki calls out.

Koji says: Regardless Jashin will curse him soon enough.
The brooding ogre applies a Permanent Injury to Empty: Empty holds a large scar ranging from the bottom of his right hip to his left shoulder. The damage inflicted by a legendary blade, one that trumps that of a horse slaying sword. The scar tissue thickens around the area where the wound was inflicted, making it highly visible even after healing occurs.
The lanky, snow-haired boy applies a Permanent Injury to Hozuki, Nisegetsu: A piercing wound is left on this person's chest, inches away from their heart. It resembles a gunshot. Damaged tissue surrounds the point of entry. A similar discoloration is present on his back from the exit wound.
Koji looked over towards Empathy, and the Hozuki as he drew a blade towards the duo. A smirk now drawing across the crevice of his lips as he gestured towards the duo.

"Your leader is a coward, and he left you two to fend for yourself. This goes to show you how corrupted your former village has became. He was selfish, and prioritized his own life over you two, but you two are mere children. Kirigakure will forever be in ruins, and your beloved home will never be restored, but there's a way for you to obtain more power, and gain vengence on your leader who abandoned you."

His hand now grabbing ahold of his scythe as he began to carve the symbolic image of Jashin on the palm of both Kirigakure shinobi leaving his brand on the duo.

"Become a follower of Jashin, and you can obtain what you truly desire in this earth. Those who deny Jashin will be subjected to his torment once he is ressurected. With this mark, and seeking me out in the future, you can join our cult, and enjoy the blessing of Jashin one day."

As his words came to an end, the Zealot signaled off towards the Hozuki as he departed back towards Sunagakure.
You start following Hozuki, Nisegetsu.
You stop following Hozuki, Nisegetsu.
You lost track of the person you were following.
Hozuki, Kilgetsu(The sharp toothed child) would fold his arms over his chest, observing the carving from the sideline. He doesn't take pelasure in the sight but he isn't exactly bothered by it either. Once the Jashin's job was done? The Hozuki release a sigh from his lips.

"I was really hoping to bring that Yuki's head home. Oh well.."
The lanky, snow-haired boy frowns at the zealot. The truth behind his words pain him more than any injury suffered in battle. Having few he can rely on in what's left of his village is something he's more than aware of.

He studies the marking on his palm without a word.

As the rogues take their leave, he staggers over to his fallen comrade.
Koji applies a Permanent Injury to Hozuki, Nisegetsu: Hozuki, Nisegetsu has a intricate symbol resembling something of a hieroglyph etched on the palm of their hand indicating the brand of Jashin.
Hozuki, Kilgetsu(The sharp toothed child) whispers: Yall mind facing south? for a screenshot)
The brooding ogre was stuck in a delirious state from having his chest and stomach opened, unsure of what he can consider reality. A burning pain on his hand anchors him as he manages to tilt his head toward the brand as it's being created in real time.

The words spoken by the zealot strike an uncertain chord in Empty's heart. He could attempt to deny them with whatever breath was left within his lungs but the proof was as true as the damage inflicted on the duo.

Unable to offer a rebuttal of any kind toward the young zealot he watches their  forms walk off into the horizon. Another shadow comes to loom over him, it was Nisegetsu's own.

He places a palm into the bloodied grass below and raises himself to his feet. If needed he'd offer the Hozuki support during their long walk back.
