==Title: Judgement Day: A Reaping And A Loss==
KunisadaUchiha:: -Kunisada moved inside of the ANBU Dojo, he was there to check on the progress of how things were going overall; his ANBU were still out hunting for Athena since the day on their trip while they were trying to get their Summons. As of late, he was on the brink of being fully recovered from his bruised ribs that he had suffered from his fight with his Summon and any other injuries he might have sustained from the trip itself. He was dressed in his normal black ANBU flak with a black long sleeve shirt underneath it with black pants and his black sandals as well. He was also equipped with his black metal arm bracers with his Kusanagi hanging on his lower back; and he was wearing his rebreather as he usually did. Another item that he had added to wearing daily now was the ring on his left thumb; this was the ring of the Akatsuki that Kagato had given him on the first night of their trip. He avoided bringing anyone else’s attention to it so as to not draw suspicion and unneeded questions. In his pocket however, he still had Akatori’s Yamanaka clan necklace that she had lost during their trip when Athena abducted her. Also in his pocket was a small rolled up collection of ryo; apparently his clone and Akatori’s had gone on what he assumed was a casual date, even if the two of them weren’t sure if they considered it such at the time. During which, Akatori had attempted to pay for her meal but his clone had paid for her after she had left and was planning on giving the ryo back to her the next time he saw her; he kept both of his person for the time he could return them to her. He hadn’t stopped checking in with the ANBU daily for updates since they returned and they were informed to tell him immediately if anything was to come up regarding sightings of Athena. He was thinking of what he had missed from the time his clone had arrived back in Amegakure; he had been assigned to train a team, he had attempted to train the trio before the news of his message had arrived and Akatori and his clone had actually talked and gone on a casual date. His thought process was broken as a puff of smoke appeared in front of him, only to reveal an ANBU member kneeling in front of him. Kunisada looked at the ANBU and spoke to him, his voice coming out metallic due to his rebreather.- “..What news do you have for me..?” –After he spoke, the ANBU spoke but it seemed as if he had run out of breath.- “Leader-sama, we’ve located Athena. She’s in the ruins of Sunagakure.” –Kunisada’s eyes narrowed slightly as his body became a blur as he Body Flickered away from his current location; he knew where she was now and now he had to inform Kagato of the news. After a few moments, he found himself on the outside of the entrance of the Amegakure Hospital before he walked in and used his Sensory abilities to find where Kagato had been placed when he collapsed upon their return. Kunisada quickly pinpointed Kagato’s chakra location before he used the Body Flicker to make his way where Kagato was; he hadn’t had much time to check in on Kagato as he knew they both needed to rest, Kagato needed it more than any of them even if he wouldn’t admit it. Once he made it to where Kagato’s room was he was a kanji on the door leading to the room to which Kunisada knew what this room was as raised his hand up on the door and knocked three times; he did this so that Kagato would know that someone was about to come in. After waiting for a few seconds after knocking, he used the Body Flicker move once more to get into the room in case anyone nearby decided to take a quick glance in the room before he could shut the door. After he reappeared into the room, his eyes moved towards Kagato before he spoke to Kagato.- “..Been a while Kagato..” –Kunisada stayed quiet for a small amount of time for Kagato to respond but for now, they didn’t have much time for small talk. After and if Kagato responded, Kunisada’s lips parted once more as he spoke to Kagato.- “..I just received word that we’ve located where Athena is..she’s currently at the ruins of the Sunagakure..” –Kunisada knew that whether or not Kagato was at 100%, he wanted to know immediately and he knew what was coming next; 100% healed or not, he knew just as much as Kagato, he didn’t want to wait to hunt her down and serve her punishment for abandoning Amegakure and Kagato himself. All Kunisada was waiting for now was for Kagato telling him when they were going to move out.-
Kagato: -It hadn’t been that long in actual days since more like three weeks that Kagato and the rest had made their way back home from the island yet it felt like an eternity cooped up in his hospital getting treated for his injuries. Kagato didn’t like hospitals at all and was chomping at the bit to get his self free from his prison. Kagato was kept on the down low keeping his self in the room he kept the bodies for his paths which had the extra security of a barrier seal on the door making it impossible for anyone that didn’t know how to pass through the barrier Kagato began to pace in his bare feet back and forth on the Black, purple and blue rug that laid in the center of the room. The only thing of Kagato’s normal attire that he was wearing was his black baggy cargo like pants that reached down just passed his knees. His ribs were still wrapped up in white bandages very much visible for he wasn’t wearing a shirt at the moment either. Kagato’s head turned towards the door as he heard three very distinctly knocks coming from the outside of the door. Kagato started to use his chakra sensory skills immediately to figure out who was behind the other side of the door, seeing as there were very few people who even knew this room existed not to mention that Kagato was actual in the hospital. It didn’t take him long to figure out that it was Kunisada Uchiha on the other side of the door. Kagato quickly made his way over to the door and placed his right and left hand flat on the middle of the door to release the barrier so that Kunisada could make his way into the room easily.  Kagato backed away from the door once the barrier had been released only to see a blur shoot onto his room taking the form of Kunisada. Kagato listened as Kuni spoke about how it had been a while since they had seen each other. Kagato nodded his head up and down slowly in agreement before parting his lips slowly to respond to him in a low tone voice.  – “Indeed “– What followed next Kagato was all too glad to hear. Kunisada explained that the Amegakure Anbu’s have tracked down Athena in the location of the ruins of Sunagakure.  Kagato’s lips parted rather quickly and jolted out a response his voice not taking on the normal tones seeing as he wasn’t wearing his re-breather at the moment letting his true voice fly through the air. – “Very well then we have no time to lose…granted I am not one hundred percent at the moment but…I know I can take Athena on even in this state…”  - Kagato started to gather up his normal attire from the room that had been neatly folded and placed neatly by the metal protected window. He first put on his black long sleeved half shirt on slipping it over his head messing up his crimson red hair slightly as he pulled his head through the opening as well as his right and left arms. Next he picked up his long black armored coat like robe swing it around throwing it around his shoulders as he slipped his right and left arm through the sleeves.  Kagato quickly slipped his right foot into his right black toeless shoe followed by his left. Kagato snapped his black armored shin guards back into place seeing as they were lose just sitting over top of his shoes. Kagato hurriedly placed his right and left black armored gloves onto his hands before picking up his black back pack and swing it over his shoulders. – “I know what you we going to say but we cannot waste time here…for we know she has Akatori…and who knows what she could have done to her by now….” – As much as Kagato hated to admit it with as much time that had passed already more than likely if they did find Akatori with Athena she wouldn’t be in good shape. – “I think it best if it only be us two as to not arise any suspicion for she might still have spies in place here….so if you need time to gather supplies I suggest you do it now…but I am ready to leave now….” – Kagato reached inside his robe like coat inner pocket with right hand black Re-breather and mask out of his coat like robe’s inner pocket and snapped it into place cover back up the lower half of his face once more. - KunisadaUchiha: -Kunisada watched as Kagato began to gather his normal attire after telling him that he was not wasting any time with this information and that he was sure he could fight Athena even at him being less than fully healed. He waited patiently for Kagato to gather his gear before he heard Kagato say that he knew what he was going to say and that they didn’t have time to wait seeing as how Athena had Akatori and that they didn’t know what kind of condition she was in right now; after being abducted by Athena and given the weeks that had passed, there was no telling what shape she was in. In fact, that wasn’t what he was thinking entirely; yes, he knew that Kagato shouldn’t push himself more than he needed to since he wasn’t fully healed, but there was no chance that either of them were letting this opportunity pass them by. Something else that bothered Kunisada more than anything was that he knew Athena dug her own grave with Kagato, but involving Akatori didn’t seem like something she needed to do in order to get his attention any more than she already had. On top of that, he didn’t know what kind of condition Akatori was in and if Athena had caused severe harm to her, he didn’t know how either of them would respond to seeing her in whatever state she was in. It was odd for Kunisada: he barely ever let anyone get close to him as that was shown that the closest person to him was Kagato, but he had gone on a casual hang-out/date with Akatori. Doing something like that wasn’t something that he was known for doing so it made Kunisada wonder if he was going to let her get close to him; it seemed like that might’ve been where their relationship was going. His mind shook out of its own pondering as he heard Kagato tell him that he thought it’d be best if only he and Kagato left to avoid suspicion and that he would give Kunisada preparation time in case he needed to get anything else but he was ready to leave as soon as possible. After Kagato put on his rebreather, Kunisada spoke to him. - “..I already have everything I need..” –Kunisada paused for a moment before he spoke once more. - “..Been meaning to test out some new Jutsu I learned..” –After Kunisada was finished speaking, he waited for Kagato to give the go-ahead to move out. –
Kagato: - Kagato nodded his head up and down slightly before making his hands for the seal of the – boar – letting Kagato move in an instantaneous speed making Kagato move faster than he had ever moved utilizing his swift release making his way in the form of a blur out of the Hospital and down the main street of Amegakure passing right through the gate at this rate of speed no one in the whole of Amegakure could come close to keeping up with him. Kagato was a man on a mission not only was it to track down the traitor Athena Uzumaki the one who had cause them a lot of trouble during the whole trip to the island no that was just icing on the cake at the moment the main thing on his mind was that Athena had Akatori his student one who he had helped raise into the shinobi she was today. As Kagato kept up the pace reaching the borders of Amegakure and by passing them without a second thought on the matter He kept his mind focused on his student what could she have possibly gone through what did Athena want with her. In the forefront of Kagato’s mind was if any harm had come to Akatori Athena would pay dearly with her life for it. As Kagato moved forward through the lands in a blur a flash back popped up in his mind. The flash back consisted of the first day Kagato had taken over team one after their first sensei had left their team in the wind so to speak. That day Kagato had every intention to put the three genin’s through hell Akatori being one of the three. He had picked The Amegakure falls seeing as it was his personal playground. The thing he remembered most about that training and meet in greet was that he seen a fire in Akatori’s eyes like no other even though they were rough around the edges he seen a lot of potential in her and her team. No matter what task he put in front of Akatori she raised to the occasion even passing her chunin exams and making it to the rank Jounin shortly after that. Kagato just in that moment realized her team was suffering that she had taken seeing as she was absent from the everyday hustle and bustle of Amegakure life.  It didn’t take Kagato nearly as long to make it to the ruins of Sunagakure as it did for Kagato and his group to make it to the ruins of Iwagakure the scenery around him nothing but a blur to him carrying not for the sights around him as he by passed them not taking a second for granted. Kagato had made up his mind that there was nothing getting between him and finding the traitor Athena with all the intentions of bringing her life to an end as soon as all humanly possible. The ground benath Kagato feet changed rapidly into the sand which made Kagato have to work harder to keep his speed up as he pressed his feet onto the ground. The heat of the sun beating down up on his clothing making salty sweat drops form around his brow dripping slowly down his face. Kagato in all his rushed state of mind didn’t think to decrease his speed or think about if Kuni could keep up with him or not as he stopped just out of sight of the old main gate of Sunagakure which was crumbling down and disarray. Kagato eyes started to change rapidly from the normal green in his left and his blue in the right to that of the Rinnegan. His eyes were characterized by a ripple-like pattern around the pupil, with an amethyst purple iris and sclera in his left eye as well as a crimson red Rinnegan in his right. Kagato wasn’t about to take any chances on any surprises. Kagato stood there waiting out of site until Kunisada caught up to his current location. – 
KunisadaUchiha: -Kunisada watched as Kagato vanished quickly after forming the Boar seal before Kunisada’s left eye darkened into a crimson blood red hue as his Eternal Mangenkyo Sharingan activated. Shortly after activating his eye, a swirling vortex began to form from his eye as it distorted and completely absorbed Kunisada’s form before he quickly disappeared entirely from the room. Kunisada knew that today Athena’s life was going to end at Kagato’s hands..or even the both of theirs. He didn’t know if Kagato would be alright with himself getting involved in the situation; he had made no qualms about it when he mentioned wanting to test out new Jutsu earlier. The real question was how Akatori was and what would happen if they found her with Athena; he knew Kagato wished to end her life long before she decided to abduct Akatori from their group, but he wasn’t sure how the scenario would play out altogether. Usually he’d have a rough idea but for this picture the pieces seemed to be too scattered to be able to try and complete the entire thing. One thing and one thing alone was certain: by the end of today, Athena Uzumaki was going to be dead. Shortly after disappearing from the locked room where Kagato was staying, a swirling vortex quickly appeared at the gates of where the Hidden Sand Village once proudly stood; what was left of the Village was just sand and broken pieces of the buildings that inhabited the place. The vortex pulled Kunisada out of it as his body was distorted at first only to be quickly formed into one solid physical form once more. After he was out of his Kamui, the swirling vortex disappeared as Kunisada’s Eternal Mangenkyo Sharingan deactivated and his left eye returned to its normal dark hue. Kagato was already there waiting on him and he simply nodded at Kagato before Kunisada slowly his gaze towards the fallen pieces of the ruins of Sunagakure.- “..They all fall don’t they..” –Kunisada was of course referring to the ruins of Sunagakure as the same fate was shared by Iwagakure and Konohagakure. While Iwagakure’s fall had still been a mystery to everyone else, everyone in Amegakure knew about who had made the once powerful Village Hidden in the Leaves become a crater in the ground and that was the man that he was standing by. He remained silent before glancing past the gates of the ruined Village as he waited on how Kagato wanted to handle this, keeping his Sensory abilities in check to keep track of anything and anyone in the vicinity. -
Kagato:-It wasn’t long before Kunisada’s vortex appeared next to Kagato only to spit him out next to him by the gates of the now run down village Kagato listened to Kuni as he spoke about how all they all fall meaning all the once great villages. Granted Kagato had a hand in making the hidden leaf village nothing but a crater and rubble. Kagato nodded his head up and down slowly before his lips parted slowly. – “They sure do… and the person who we find here will also have their time come to an end.” – Kagato paused for a moment before he started to quickly make a series of hand seals starting off with the first hand seal which was the - Bird – followed quickly by the - Rat -  soon after he manipulated his digits into the seal of the - Ox – only to jump his fingers into the position of the - Monkey –leaving  the second to the last seal which was that of the - Rat – and finally he slithered his fingers into the seal of the - Snake -  pitch black storm clouds began to form overhead  covering the entire area of the ruins. The sky above was like that of Amegakure in the matter of a few seconds.  The wind started to howl like a savage beast as the rain started to fall in big heavy rain drops as if the heavens themselves were weeping for what was about to take place here. This was Kagato’s Rain Tiger at Will Technique the very same technique he used to keep a watch over Amegakure. The Rain quickly saturated the land causing the once dry sand to become drenched and thick sticking together like someone had poured glue into the mix. With the rain now flowing Kagato had his sensory abilities in full swing and was able to tell if anyone was at least above the surface of the ruins. Kagato turned his head towards Kuni as a lightning bolt raced through the sky illuminating his face like a spot light had been cast on it. The sound of rolling thunder echoed off the surroundings of the once great village as if there were a legion of drummers smacking their drums all at the same time. – “Well if she didn’t know we were here before…. she surely knows now… but as of right now…I cannot sense her in the area…granted she may be using the same technique she used to take Akator from us… “– Kagato paused for a moment and began to listen to the sounds carefully around them he knew Athena all too well she was to full of herself not to try and take this opportunity to strike at them while they were semi in the open which Kagato knew would be her down fall. Kagato was ready for the fight that was about to go down now it was just a matter of time before this party truly started. – “After all in every life a little rain must fall….” – Off in the distance for a spit second Kagato caught glimpse with his sensory skills of her Athena Chakra it had seemed they wouldn’t have to wait long and now they knew for a fact she was in the area. – “Kuni…she is here… I felt it… “– Kagato lifted his right arm up towards the north east side of the ruins where some busted and ruin down building still somewhat stood in the foreground. He extended his right index finger out and pointed directly in the area he felt her chakra. Kagato lips parted slowly once more as he began to speak in the all too well know metal sounding voice that echoed out from his re-breather. – “ Kuni…try scanning that area….”
KunisadaUchiha: -Kunisada stayed motionless as dark clouds began to form over the two of them as the rain began to fall upon the field, knowing that this was Kagato’s doing; this was clearly proven when Kagato said ‘in every life a little rain must fall’ as the wind increased in speed and force as the heavens above them began to weep. Kagato spoke of how he couldn’t sense her chakra as she might have been using the same technique she had used when she took Akatori before he pointed towards where he had felt her chakra, asking him to scan the area. The veins surrounding the side of Kunisada’s right eye slightly bulged out of the side of his skull as he activated his Byakugan as he glanced at where he was being asked to do so. He figured it was pointless to try and focus his Sensory abilities right now; if Kagato couldn’t sense her through his own then there was little chance that he was going to be able to. After Kunisada’s Byakugan activated, his eyes scanned the area for a chakra source but for the moment it seemed as if though no one was there whatsoever, but the two of them had known for a fact that she was here. Kunisada’s eyes kept themselves on the area in front of them before seeing something appear on the ground; it was faint but he could see what looked like a string of chakra on the ground. To the normal eye, it was practically invisible but through his Byakugan he could see a chakra string along the ground and stretched out towards them; the string looked like it took a small dip into the sand towards them as well, but Kunisada could still see the chakra string. Kunisada knew that Athena was a master in the use of using puppets and the fact that a chakra string was on the ground made it all too clear that he was correct in thinking she was planning a sneak attack on them before they could get a visual on her. He waited patiently before seeing something quickly appear out in front of him from beneath the sand as a large puppet moved in to strike him before Kunisada disappeared into a blur as he used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the attack from the puppet. After he reappeared however, Kunisada quickly withdrew his Kusanagi and swung his blade towards the chakra thread that was connecting its controller and the puppet, adding in a bit of chakra through his Kusanagi; if the attack was able to strike the chakra thread, it would at least take the puppet away from Athena’s control for the moment. –
AthenaUzumaki: - Athena was deep underground in the base she had made underneath the old ruins of the hidden sand village after discovering the scroll she had longed for even ever since before she left Amegakure. This scroll contained the White Secret Technique Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets which had been long forgotten about but kept safe in an underground store house which also contained a bunch pf other scrolls with secret techniques from the puppet corps that inhabited the hidden sand.  Her reasons for removing herself from Amegakure and stirring up all kinds of trouble during Amegakure’s little field trip was simply for her own amusement. She had never really cared for that place or the person he had been with as she knows put it in her own mind and had just been biding her time to where she got everything she possible could from that place which filled her with horrid memories of the past and how she had to pretend how happy she was which made her physically sick to even think about it. Even now Her own goals an ambitions kept her busy only taking time to amuse herself by making Kagato and his village’s life as hard as humanly possible.  She sat there at her make shift desk of old wood slumped over reading over more and more scrolls running her slender finger tips over each line of the scrolls taking them into memory when all of a sudden her sensory skills picked up on two chakra signatures one she knew all too well. She shook her head slightly from left to right undoing the make shift bun she had holing her long crimson hair back letting the strands fall over top of her shoulders.  She scooted her chair back and quickly stood up planting her open toed black knee high boots on the solid floor with a light clanking noise. She as she stood there for a moment she adjusted her tight black short tank top by taking hold of the zipper with her index finger and thumb that laid in the middle and zipping it up a bit more.  Her light blue chakra strings almost invisible to the naked eyed danced around her form like snakes being charmed by music. Her emerald green eyes jolted towards the door as she seen water leaking through the roof and around the seams of the door which the water being laced with blue chakra knowing full well this was Kagato’s doing. She grabbed her scrolls that were laying on the desk and slipped them into their carrying case before strapping them to her back. Unfortunately, she thought the case was the colors of Amegakure which were blue and purple. She hadn’t bothered to make time to make or find a new case but the colors left a bad taste in her mouth much as just thinking about that place she so called home at one point in her life which led her to the same feeling about her Katana she had hanging from her left hip. It had been a present from Kagato his self which she felt that he thought to highly of his self to think that giving her such a gift really mattered to her. In the very next room to the Screams of the young Jounin from Amegakure Akatori Yanamaka brought a smile to her face for Athena wasn’t alone in this place no that wouldn’t be smart of her now would it. She had brought with her another shinobi who used to be in Amegakure a Senju that went by the name of Kesin, granted his methods were a bit unorthodox but he was exactly what she needed on her side and was truly grateful she hadn’t ended his life like she was asked to by Kagato.  Her lips part and let a few words slip out. – “Baka Kage “– Athena thought about how stupid it was of Kagato to have come on her home ground which gave her the advantage with utilizing her puppetry techniques. Unlike the spar the two had ages ago things would be different and she was out for his life seeing as he was of no more use to her. Utilizing the same technique, she had used on the island she masked her presence and chakra by using the Dustless Bewildering Cover making her seem to vanish into thin air. There was no doubt in Athena’s mind the two Amegakure Shinobi were here for a fight and a fight is what they were going to get but one they would soon regret.  Athena under the cover of her technique made her way to the surface of the ruins. The skies were now black as the night sky with ominous storm clouds hanging over head foreshowing the battle to come. Athena quickly moved from one location to another hoping from one busted building to another spotting both Kagato and Kunisada right away. Athena stopped just before she got to the last building before what used to be the gate of the village and started to make herself visible again. The rain tricked down her part flesh part puppet body leaving little trails down her skin. Her Crimson red hair began to take on a darker shade as the rain saturated her hair down to the very last strand. This was something she had been used to but annoyed her ever so much. Raising her right and left hand she formed the handle seal of the – Tiger – vanishing from the roof top to about five feet away from where Kagato and Kunisada now stood. She bent down and sent out one of her blue chakra stings sening it underneath the sand to a hidden puppet not too far off from the pair’s location. The chakra thread quickly took hold of the puppet bringing it to life. It jolted upwards out of the sand letting the sand cascade off of its rather large bulky body. Athena watched as Kunisada moved in a blur to great her puppet only to pull out a sword from his back side and cut her chakra string that had it self-attached to the puppet sending the bulky puppet to the ground in a very large thud.Just after this she recoilded her sting and her lips parted as she began to speak in a very happy yet sarcastic tone of voice that could easily be picked up on. – “Ah the Baka Kage and his little side kick came to play with little old me now did they?  Not very nice cutting down one of my friends so early tisk tisk“- Athena  brought her right arm up and folded all but her index finer inwards and began to move it from side to side. Athena’s lips curled into a wicked smile filled with venom that was directed to the pair that now stood before her. – “Or is it that you came for that little brat of yours Akatori…Well I am afraid she already had another play mate… and I am afraid you will have to go through me if you want to get to her Baka.” – Athena started by pulling one of the scrolls off of her back and began unroll it before she placed it on the wet sandy ground. She crouched down bending her legs slightly as she slammed her right and left hands down upon the scrolls unleashing the White Secret Technique the Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets in a cloud of white pearly some ten puppets quickly sounded Athena front and back each attached to one of her invisible chakra threads. Puppet one somewhat resembled an Oni demon Dressed in a white robe with black underneath. The puppet didn’t display any weaponry or hidden mechanisms, though it had two huge fists that had immense striking power which was used mainly for defense. Puppet two which was to Athena’s right side no more than one foot away had grey markings around its mouth area and hair coming from a single point on its head but dressed the same way as the first. This puppet had two colossal fists which made it fierce at taijutsu among other abilities. Like the others Puppets the third was dressed in the same fashion as the other two but this puppet had a red face with white hair but stood to Athena’s left side no more than a foot away. Puppet four stood next to the third puppet, no more than a foot away from it. This puppet had long, black hair and was dressed in the same fashion as the others. Puppet Five was a bald puppet with large holes in its skull which stood directly in front of Athena only a foot away.  Puppet six had spiky hair and the lower half of its face was green in color. It had the kanji for Sangha located in its mouth which the puppet stood on the left side of Athena no more than a foot away from her. The next puppet, Puppet Seven stood next to puppet six no more than a foot away from it. This puppet had a ponytail, a beard, red markings under its eyes and the kanji for Dharma. Puppet eight had white hair and large sideburns with the kanji for Buddha but dressed like all the rest in a white robe and black under clothes. Puppet nine stood to the right of Athena just on the other side of the other puppet on her right again no more than a foot away. This puppet looked to be modelled after a female with red hair tied into buns. In its hands it held two large, broad-swords in either hand that glistened sharply as a bolt of lightning crashed through the sky. The tenth and final puppet had one single eye in the middle of its head and was dressed just like the other nine before it. This puppet stood towards the right as well just after the last puppet on Athena’s right.  Athena’s smile grew wider and more wicked as if she ate something sour. – “Well boys what are you waiting for let’s play.”
KunisadaUchiha: -Kunisada watched as Athena made herself known to the two of them, which seemed arrogant given that he knew what happened the last time Kagato and she fought and it ended up with her losing quickly even with her skills and rank. Kunisada listened to her as she called him a “side-kick” but that didn’t faze him as he didn’t care much what she called him right now since the words held no meaning to him; she also mentioned him disarming her of her current puppet on the ground, but he expected such a comment. She was obviously teasing the two of them about wanting to ‘play’ with her, which Kunisada figured could be substituted with another word, but he kept his thoughts to himself. She then mentioned Akatori and some sort of ‘play-mate’ she had, making Kunisada’s eyes narrow but the movement would go unnoticed by everyone except for Kunisada as his mask kept his eyes virtually hidden from everyone else. When his eyes began to narrow, his left eye darkened in hue to a deep crimson blood red color as his Eternal Mangenkyo Sharingan activated subconsciously; he knew it had activated when it did, but it felt like it was almost instinctive for it to kick in at Athena’s comment. So she had Akatori with her and another as well and the only way to get to her was to go through Athena. Kunisada kept himself silent and still as Athena then pulled out a scroll and began to summon ten puppets from them before she took another jab at them of wanting them to ‘play’. A part of Kunisada almost felt like he should have been searching for Akatori and leaving Kagato to Athena; he knew that Kagato wouldn’t require much help fighting her with how much anger and grief she had caused him for the few weeks. At the same time however, he didn’t want to abandon Kagato and Athena was sure that the only way to get to Akatori was to go through her, so if that was the case, then he wasn’t going to argue with fighting her. He knew that this unfortunately was also giving whoever was with Akatori more time to torture her or even finish her off if he or Athena had no more use for keeping Akatori alive; he hoped that the last option wasn’t going to be offered to her helper on the off chance, but either way, Athena and her helper were going to die today at their hands. Kunisada slowly reached behind him as he sheathed his Kusanagi as he stood in momentary silence as the hard rain continued to fall all around them. The rain was the only thing causing any remote sort of noise between the three of them as it fell around them and hit Athena’s puppets as well as their own clothing before a sudden boom of thunderclap echoed into the sky as Kunisada’s hands quickly and masterfully formed the seal of the Dog before being swiftly followed by the seal of the Horse which was quickly replaced finished off with the seal of the Tiger as Kunisada used his Demon Lantern technique. As he activated the technique, numerous floating fireballs quickly began to form around Kunisada, which were quickly formed into the shapes of fireball ghosts surrounding Kunisada and as he formed the seal of the Tiger, the inferno ghosts quickly launched after Athena and her puppets; there were more than ten fireballs making their way towards the group that stood before Kunisada, so dodging all of them alone was going to be a task by itself. If any of the ghoulish-appearing fireballs even touched any of her puppets or herself, there was little chance that her puppets or she would survive the attack; also, if any of the fireballs made impact with anything, even the ground below, behind, in front or on either side of her puppets and herself, the ghost-appearing fireballs would leave a huge flame at the moment of impact regardless of whatever it touched. While his attack commenced, he was certain Kagato and he were going to sync well together in this fight as they tended to do so naturally; their fight had officially begun. –
Kagato: -Kagato watched as a very large puppet jumped to life out of the sand letting it cascade off of it like waterfalls made of sand.  The puppet’s activity was cut short for before Kagato even began to react Kunisada took off in a blur and unleashed his Kusanagi and stuck swiftly at the chakra string attached to puppet causing it to crash into the wet sand filled ground with a very large thud. If this was Athena’s try for a sneak attack on them then she thought very little of her opponents or maybe it was just that she was that full of herself. These were the only conclusions that Kagato could come up with. It wasn’t long after this Kagato seen the figure of Athena appear before them a sight he hadn’t seen for a while. She wasn’t even dressed in her normal attire but that was most likely a given seeing as she fled Amegakure casting off any ties she had with it, even with her own son.  Kagato listened as Athena started to run her mouth trying to egg them into making the first move or at the very least rowel them up to the point that they would possibly make a mistake but the all too often used of the word Baka and now calling Kunisada a side kick only fueled Kagato passion even further. It wasn’t till she began to talk about Akatori did Kagato begin to clenched his right black gloved fist to the point if his knuckles were visible one could easily see them turning white with the pressure of his grip.  He watched as Athena bent down with some sort of scroll unrolling it and slamming her hands down upon it to reveal ten puppets in the likes he had never seen before surrounding her like they were her guardians. This must be why Athena was in this place to begin with seeing as Kagato knew the hidden sand was known for their puppet users. It wasn’t long after her little speak about what were they waiting for and for them to start to play which in Kagato’s mind this wasn’t going to be a playful fight this was going to be an all-out slaughter like how he shut her down in their spar but with more deadly of a result with the end of Athena’s life by his own hands and nothing was going to get in his way of this. Kagato began to slide his feet slightly in the snow heavy wet sand focusing a little bit of his blue chakra to the bottoms his feet giving him a better grip. Yet again before Kagato could start his offence Kunisada started to react. Kagato turned his head slightly and watched as Kunisada began to make a series of hand seals. Only to have a multitude of fire ball like ghost appear all around Kunisada and by Kagato’s count there were at least ten but looked to be more. Kagato watched as one ghost like fire ball took off into the direction of Athena and her puppets but this wasn’t enough for Kagato he wanted to make sure this fight was going to go in his favor. Kagato raised his right hand to about mid torso level and formed - Seal of Confrontation -  Kagato poured enough chakra into this technique that pulled from the moisture that was now in the air from the rain to form a thick blanket of mist making the entire area pearly-white realm making it hard for anyone but the castor or someone with the Byakugan. For someone with normal vision like Athena they wouldn’t even be able to see an inch in from of their face. The mist rose up over top of the ruined buildings and crumbled gate at least ten feet making it so if someone was even able to get up on one of these structures their vision would still be impaired.  As soon as the mist was done taking over the entire area of the once hidden sand village Kagato began to make more hand seals starting off fist with the seal of the - Ram – followed up by shifting his fingers into the position of the - Dog – only to scurry his digits into the seal of the – Rat – This unleashed another form of rain that missed in with the rain tiger at will technique giving the rain the properties to drain any and all chakra of any chosen type  making ninjutsu useless for the effective parties. This technique was known as Mist rain. The mist rain fell over the entire area of the hidden sand village ruins making sure there was no escaping it grasp for everything it touched that had chakra being used in it except for two chakra signatures which were the user Kagato and his brother like friend Kunisada. This was the same way Kagato shut down Athena last time with this technique which meant she would have to rely on only her Kenjutsu and Taijutsu but that would mean she would have to get close enough to use it.  Kagato peered over to Kunisada knowing full well with the use of his Byakugan he would be able to see through Kagato mist. Kagato Gave him a simple nod as if telling him it was okay to press on and search for Akatori and Athena’s little helper. –
AthenaUzumaki: - Athena watched as a numerus amount of ghost like fire balls began to form all around Kunisada only to be sent flying into her direction. She quickly cut ties with her Puppets letting them drop to the ground so that she could for the seal of body flicker out of the range of the fires balls letting them hit the soggy wet sand where she once stood as well as where he newly acquired puppets now lay lifeless. Athena reappeared ten feet to the side of where she once stood only to have a thick blanket of mist like fog roll in over top of the entire area making it impossible for her to see. Athena then felt something she knew all too well from the last time Kagato and her fought. He blue chakra strings dissipated quickly as she tried to reconnect with her puppets now ten feet away from her. – “You Baka same old tricks…Try and come up with something new.” – Athena lashed out with a tone of anger in her voice. Even her sensory skills were of no use at the moment seeing as Kagato’s blue chakra covered the entire area now making it impossible to tell him from the rain and mist that covered the area. Athena slumped he shoulders not being able to utilize her main offence and defense forms her puppetry now useless her also taken out of the equation all she had left was her Kenjutsu and Taijutsu to fall back on. Right now it was best if she waited for her opponents to make the first move maybe then she would be able to counter strike them at the very least. Athena reached to her side taking the hilt of her katana into her slender finger tips of her right hand flicked her thumb slightly to unleash the blade from its sheath with a slight snapping nose. She drew the blade out of its sheath slowly the little light that filtered through the mist caught the blade making it dance upon the metal edge of the blade. Drew the blade in such a way that the blade of the Katana was now diagonal a crossed her upper torso. Her lips parted and in a wicked tone of voice. – “Always keeping a lady like me waiting how dare you…” – Athena was trying to coheres them into attacking her in her ready position rather than her trying to find them on her own.  Athena’s emerald green eyes shifted back and forth through the sea of mist only seeing white in front of her face as she waited to see if they took the bait or not. –
KunisadaUchiha: -Kunisada’s eyes noticed a thick blanket of mist beginning to surround all three of them, but since Kunisada’s Byakugan was still activated he could tell that this was a maneuver on Kagato’s part as he could still see through the mist and was able to locate where Athena was. He noticed that she was able to dodge the fireballs he had sent her way, but he didn’t expect her to take the attack directly. His gaze shifted over slightly to Kagato as he saw him give a nod towards Kunisada, to which he knew he wanted him to go and search for Akatori. Kunisada simply nodded as he disappeared into a blur, the motion being practically invisible due to the thickness of the fog as the move was only intended for Kunisada to get away from the fight momentarily. Kunisada reappeared a few feet away from the two of them before he glanced at the rest of the ruins in front of him as his Byakugan took notice of two more chakra signatures in the distance; one of them was blue and the other was purple. He had sparred Akatori too many times to know that that was her chakra signature, but the other chakra source was a question for him at the moment, but he’d figure it out soon enough. Kunisada’s Eternal Mangenkyo Sharingan was still activated and at locating the two chakra signatures, a swirling vortex began to appear from his eye as it absorbed him and distorted his figure as it swallowed him whole, leaving no trace of him behind once it did. After a few seconds, the vortex appeared once more as it spat Kunisada’s figure out, his figure looking distorted until it took solid physical form once more and once his body took a solid form once again, the swirling vortex died out and disappeared; as he stepped out, his Byakugan quickly deactivated. Kunisada took a look around and it seemed to be as if though he was underground somewhere as his Eternal Mangenkyo Sharingan was still active for a little while longer; he didn’t need to run the off-chance that a Genjutsu was being cast upon by whoever was with Akatori. After his eye couldn’t detect any type of Genjutsu being cast, the crimson blood hue turned into its normal dark hue as he glanced around. His looking around was cut short as Kunisada heard a female scream of agony quickly filled the halls of whatever underground base this was as he disappeared into a Body Flicker as he made his way towards the source of the cry. Kunisada appeared in front of a large metallic door and heard another person’s voice inside but it sounded as if though the man was just laughing. Upon hearing the noise, Kunisada’s left eye darkened into its crimson blood red hue once more, this time he willed it to as opposed to last time when it seemed to have activated itself out of sheer instinct and reflect alone. Kunisada quickly placed his hand on the handle of the door and shoved the door open; no matter who he saw in the room with Akatori, they were going to meet their end as soon as he stepped in the room. –
Kagato: - Kagato eyes shifted rapidly back and forth like ping pong balls being hit a crossed a table. Even though the mist was thick Kagato had no problem seeing through seeing as it was his own technique. Kagato waited until he seen the nod back from Kunisada to make his move knowing full well as soon as Kagato seen this action from him he would be heading out to try and find Akatori which just left Kagato and Athena on this battle field the way he wanted it from the very beginning. Kagato could her yammering on trying to provoke him into attacking her yet this is something she could not prepare for. Kagato watched as Athena drew her katana and planted the blade a crossed her chest in a defensive stance. Underneath Kagato’s metal black re-breather and mask he smirked slightly seeing her in this fashion there was no doubt she was feeling his killing intent, it was almost as if he could taste her fear in the air. With out and hand seals Kagato used his body flicker to move to the left side of Athena standing to her left but facing her side. Kagato was no more than one foot away from Athena no he could hear the sound of her breathing. Kagato moved his head in slightly to about an inch away from her ear just as his lips parted slowly as his voice was expelled from his mouth in a very low sadistic whisper tone of voice. – “…I can taste your fear…and I’m enjoying every second of it…” – Kagato’s eyes light up like a demonic glow from a demon from the underworld. Kagato took a deep breath inward through his nose as if taking in her sent His lips parted slowly once more and spoke in the same undertone as before. – “Not only taste it but I can smell it…” – Kagato once again moved in a blur from his current location beside her on the left to beside her on her right in the matter of a second. This was just in case she got the idea of swinging that sword of hers in his direction but even if she did do such a thing she would catch nothing but air seeing as he was no longer in the same spot. Kagato was playing mind games with her just like how she was playing mind games with him and the other people on the trip to the island, it was time for payback and she was going to get what she dished out and a lot more added to it. Kagato Crimson red hair clung to his to the pale skin of his face like a young child clinging to its mother just after getting frightened. Kagato pulled back his left hand and held it up diagonal a crossed his chest pulling it back before his lips parted once more and the words that many people feared slipped out between his lips in a tone like no one have ever heard coming from him. The sound of his voice had nothing but pure malice and spite. – “…Shinra Tensei…” – As soon as those words fell out into the air Kagato focused his gravitational powers towards the back of his left hand as he swung his arm towards Athena’s cheek as we sung a power full force of gravity launched towards Athena’s with enough power to break bones in any normal shinobi. If this would connect with Athena it could easily send her flying from her current location to the ruined building that was now behind her. With the said force of this attack it could at the very least shatter her jaw.  Kagato lips parted once more as the attack was about to land. – “Prepare for judgment…”
AthenaUzumaki: -She didn’t have to wait long before she heard a voice she knew all too well sneak up beside her and whisper into her ear. The sound of his voice echoed through her ear and sent a shiver down her spine. She had never heard his voice take such a dark turn, it was like he was a completely different person at the moment at least that what her feelings were on the matter. It was true She was robbed of her sight and her primary attack and defense which made a fear of her very own death sneak up through her body like a cold chill which caused her to hesitate for a second before she swung her Katana towards the direction of the sound of his voice but much to her dismay the sword caught nothing but air as she turned with the swing planting her feet solidly on the ground once more only for Kagato to sneak up on her once again and mutter in the same tone of voice about how he could not only taste  her fear but he could feel it. This caught Athena off guard causing her limbs to shake slightly something was wrong with her she found herself fearing someone that up until this day she had never feared before. She shook her head from left to right he red strands of long hair flowed through the air as she did this the whole time telling herself to get a grip she can still win this but her legs began to shake slightly as she heard his voice once more. The words that no one liked to hear the words of Kagato’s well known ultimate attack the Shinra Tensei. In an instant she felt force like no other as she seen a glimpse of Kagato’s hand swing towards her head followed by the force of the gravity from the Shinra Tensei. The gravity and the back of his left hand made full contact with the side of her jaw making her jaw snap and crack as the bones shattered causing her jaw to dislocate from its joint because of how it cracked and broke while she flew through the air like a guided missile straight into the sandy wall of the ruined building that was behind her. Her body slid down the wall with a loud thud as it hit the ground. Blood started to pour out of the sides of her mouth gushing like an explosion from a volcano but leaving trails like a flowing river cascading down her chin dripping on to the bare skin of her chest. She couldn’t move her jaw to scream only slight murmurs fell from her mouth as she laid there with her eyes half lidded slowly going in and out of conscious. Her jaw dropping letting out a slight light noise– “ mmugck”   
Kagato: - Kagato’s eyes took in the sight of Athena flying through the air embedding it into his memory. This was something Kagato was taking great pleasure in doing seeing how much trouble she causes him and the people he cared about. In a blur Kagato made his way over to where Athena’s body now laid in a lump. Kagato looked down upon her his right hand reached down towards her shirt. His gloved right hand took a firm tight grip of her black top before pulling her up slightly to meet his face. The look on her face seemed as if was out of it completely almost as if she was on deaths door already from one attack but Kagato was not down with her yet far from it he wanted to make her suffer from all the pain she caused. Kagato looked deep within her fading green eyes as his lips parted underneath his black metal re-breather.  His voice eve dark sounding then it had been with the other statements he had with brought to her ears one that would cast fear in anyone who heard then in this tone. These words sounded colder than the touch of death. – “…Accept Judgment…”  - Kagato let go of his grip of her shirt letting her body fall to the ground once more. Kagato took a few steps back from where she now laid flat in the ground before crouching down slightly to where his right and left hand could reach the ground as he slammed them down into the sandy wet earth below his feet. A summoning seal spread out from his hands and in a cloud of white smoke and in the matter of a few seconds the smoke cleared revealing five of Kagato’s Paths making a half circle around Athena. The Deva path stood to the right of Kagato as the Animal stood towards the left. The Human path stood on the other side of the Deva path and the Preta path stood on the side of the Animal Path. The final path stood next to the Human path on the right. Each of the Paths were no more than a foot away from each other as they started to draw out chakra receiver blades from each of their right hands. The blades were five feet long and two inched wide. Kagato followed suit by producing the same chakra blade as the paths did. Kagato lips parted once more as he looked dead into Athena’s eyes. – “…Judgement Death…” – As soon as Kagato said this each path along with Kagato lunged forward with their chakra blade gripped tightly into their right hand and plunged it into torso, arms legs and even head of Athena the light from her eyes was now snuffed out like a candle in the wind thus granting her an instant death.  Kagato stood there for a moment looking over the after math of the fight before bending down and lifting Athena’s lifeless body up and swinging it over his right shoulder all that was left to do now was wait for Kunisada to return. – 
RavynGrimm: -As Kesin continued to torture the young Yamanaka, a smile grew upon his lips and he fixed his white lab coat as he thought about how he ended up in this position; it was all because his Mistress had spared his life even after being ordered to kill him at the command of his once-Kage, Kagato. He scoffed at even the thought of his name as he glanced over his shoulder at the young Yamanaka and his smile grew even more so; his Mistress had stolen said female from right underneath Kagato’s nose and he was powerless to have stopped her. Here he was with Kagato’s favorite little student and Kagato had not been yet able to find her; the thought made him swell with pride as he glanced over at the female once more. He didn’t necessarily have a problem with Akatori, but he wasn’t going to say no to have such fun either; once she was subdued with a high concentration of paralysis poison, it was smooth sailing from there. The poison had completely locked up her body from responding, but it allowed her to feel every bit of pain that he found necessary to deliver upon her. It was surprising that she had been very stubborn as to reveal anything about Amegakure or the group she was traveling with; his Mistress had been very curious about who she said she had seen with the Amegakure group. Of course, his Mistress had enough intel on Amegakure that she needed, so this was more of just an added bonus to pick and torture such a talented Yamanaka ninja. One thing that she had been able to do even with the paralysis poison coursing through her was been able to mutter out a few words. The first time before he was able to begin his methods, she said once sentence to him..five words that even today made his smile disappear to put a scowl on his face. She had told him: ‘You’re both going to die.’ He laughed it off entirely every time he thought of it though since she was in no way able to make good of her threat and her friends hadn’t come to her aid yet, so there was no point in trying to lie to him. As he turned himself around to grab another instrument, he heard the door handle being turned and being swung open, to which he kept his back to as he spoke.- “Yes, my Mistress?” 
KunisadaUchiha: -Upon entering the room, Kunisada heard a man’s voice coming towards him with a white lab coat turned back against him before Kunisada’s eyes quickly found their way over to what looked to be like an operating table and on it was Akatori. Even from where he was standing, he could tell she had been cut up with various cuts surrounding her body; seeing this caused Kunisada to glance at the man with his back towards him quickly before narrowing his eyes at him. Kunisada’s hands quickly formed the seal of the Ox then swiftly followed by the Rabbit and finished off with the seal of the Monkey as he activated his Lightning Cutter technique. His right hand quickly began to emit a blue lightning emission in his right hand as the sound of a thousand birds chirping quickly filled the room before Kunisada dashed towards the man with his Lightning Cutter aimed at the man’s torso.- 
RavynGrimm: -At the lack of response from his Mistress, he began to wonder if she was just checking in on him, but his hypothesis was short-lived as he heard what seemed to be birds chirping in the room, causing him to quickly turn around to see a man dressed entirely in black making his way quickly towards him with a dangerous Jutsu ready to kill him. Kesin quickly grabbed three senbon and jumped off to the side of the counter where his tools were to avoid the incoming attack as well as throw the senbon at the man, hoping to buy him enough time to at least figure out a way to escape or to kill him. Wait..maybe he didn’t need to kill the man but obviously he was here for Akatori. A small smile formed on his lips as he figured this was a man from Amegakure here for the Yamanaka as he quickly took out another senbon that before making his way over to Akatori and holding it above her neck; if he was going to die, he was at least going to rob the Rain of one of their most precious ninja.- 
KunisadaUchiha: -Kunisada watched as the man moved away from his attack before feeling a sharp pain go through his clothing and open a gash on his right arm as he felt blood quickly seep out of the wound. Kunisada’s Lightning Cutter had missed and he had it die out before turning to see what the man was doing; at a glance he was now able to place a name with the man as he noticed him to be Kesin Senju, someone who was supposed to have been killed by Athena, but that obviously didn’t happen. He watched as Kesin moved towards Akatori with a senbon raised above her throat as he attempted to kill her before Kunisada could kill him, but he was sorely mistaken. Kunisada quickly raised his right hand as a white electrical spear came out of his hand as he used the Chidori Sharp Spear technique, which was aimed precisely above Akatori’s body and at the man’s hand which held the senbon; the goal of the attack was to keep him away from Akatori and to disarm him at the same time.- RavynGrimm: -As he was about to deliver the killing blow to the Yamanaka, he heard another noise intrude the room once more before feeling a large spear impale his hand through the back of his palm as his hand dropped the senbon and found himself yelling out in pain from the sudden impact.- KunisadaUchiha: -As the attack landed on Kesin, Kunisada extended the Sharp Spear even more so to force the man back towards the wall with great force upon impact before he himself stood and made his way over to the traitorous ninja. He would have to deal with the man unfortunately first before he could tend to Akatori at the moment. - 
RavynGrimm: -As he felt the spear impale his hands he felt himself being strongly shoved back towards the wall behind him and upon the force of impact, he felt his back harshly slam against the wall, causing him to cough up blood from the sheer blunt impact. His hand was suspended above and off to his side as he hung there lopsidedly like a crooked picture on the wall; he was unable to move from the position due to the man’s electrical attack still being embedded into his palm. He watched as the man made his way over to him, a small smirk forming on his bloodied lips before he spoke to him. - “Can I be of assistance?”-
KunisadaUchiha: -As Kunisada made his way over to the man, he heard the man ask a question of if he could be of assistance, something that made Kunisada tilt his head ever-so-slightly before he released the boy from his True Spear technique as to watch the boy begin to fall to the ground. As soon as the boy was in mid-air and free from the attack however, Kunisada gripped his right fist and brought it towards the man’s stomach as he forcefully punched the boy’s stomach; he heard a crack come from the boy’s body at the very moment of impact and now the only thing keeping the Senju from falling completely to the ground was Kunisada’s fist burrowing itself into the boy’s stomach.-
RavynGrimm: -He felt himself begin to fall to the ground before he felt a sharp pain embed itself forcefully into his stomach, feeling two ribs crack upon impact causing him to cry out in pain as well as force his body to go limp slightly as he coughed up blood once more. However, this time the Senju’s blood landed on the open gash of Kunisada, making the blood fall into the open gash while a speck or two have fallen above the wound. Kesin let out a strained chuckle as he looked up at the man before opening his mouth to speak again. -
KunisadaUchiha: -He heard the boy cough severely as he felt something warm and wet fall on his arm to which he assumed the boy had coughed up blood before seeing the boy raise his head up and saw his lips part to let out one more jest, but Kunisada didn’t care to hear it. Kunisada gripped the boy’s shirt before forcefully throwing him to the side of him towards the wall as he cut off whatever the boy was going to say. Kunisada glanced over at the boy as Kesin had nothing to help him anymore; Athena was not coming to his rescue, his words held no meaning or value to Kunisada and unlike Athena, Kunisada was not going to be lenient on killing him. Kunisada slowly made his way towards the fallen Senju, tilting his head slightly as he continued his slow pace towards the man; like a predator looking over a wounded prey. Kunisada didn’t typically move at this kind of pace in a fight, but for this case he’d make an exception. – 
RavynGrimm: -Before he could throw out another sentence to the man, he felt himself being forcefully shoved to the other side as his back hit firmly against the wall; the impact made him fall to the ground quickly, damaging his already cracked ribs even more so as he began to try and make it back up to his feet. He was panting heavily now as he tried to breathe, but the more he breathed the more pain accompanied him with every breath. He glanced over at the man as he was slowly, deliberately slowly, towards him, which made him feel a twinge of amusement; he wasn’t expecting the man to take his time with him. - 
KunisadaUchiha: -Kunisada quickly dashed forth as he saw the Senju cast a glance at him as he used the Raining Punt Kick technique as he planted a strong kick at Kesin’s already cracked ribs, the impact alone knocked him on his back and he heard Kesin let out another cry of pain as he did so. Kunisada glanced down at the man before Kunisada decided to end the fight as he brought his left hand up and activated his Chidori True Spear technique once more as he discharged a lightning spear from his hand aimed at Kesin’s chest. Once the spear made initial contact, Kunisada then used shape transformation to add in three more blades to the boy’s body; one was to come out from the Senju’s left side, which could possibly pierce his heart as it began to leave, the second would come out of the right side of Kesin and the last one would be forced upwards and slightly to the left as its trajectory was meant for it to come out of the side of his neck. - 
RavynGrimm: -Kesin felt a strong kick hit his ribs, which caused him to cry and place a hand gently on his ribs as he lay on his back, staring up at the assailant. Whoever this man was didn’t mingle with his words and given what he was wearing Kesin understood that he was more than likely an ANBU of Amegakure. He was wondering where his Mistress could be before something clicked in his mind at the realization; if an ANBU member was here then...So Kagato had found the both of them huh? He would’ve chuckled if he had the power to anymore as he knew that the Yamanaka’s prediction came true: as powerful as his Mistress was, he knew there was no chance of avoiding this outcome of the wrath of the Kage of Amegakure. He saw the man lift his hand up once more before seeing and feeling another electrical spear pierce his body, causing him to scream out in pain before he felt three more blades protrude from his body, cutting his screams abrupt. The blades had all come out where the man had aimed them and he felt his heart being pierced as well as his throat before darkness crept over him that would never return light to him again. His body went numb and limp altogether as his form no longer moved; he was dead. - 
KunisadaUchiha: -After seeing the traitor’s body grow numb and limp, he cancelled his hold on the Jutsu as the spear and blades removed themselves from the boy’s body. He quickly turned on his heels and made his way over to Akatori’s form as he gently lifted her head up as he sat down slightly on the stone table and called out to her. - “..Tori..Tori, can you hear me..?” –As he called out her name, he saw her eyes flutter open once more as she looked at him wearily; her eyes no longer held the mirth that he was so used to seeing whenever he had seen her. As she made eye-contact with him, she smiled softly and weakly at him, which caught him off guard slightly, making his eyes widen slightly before hearing her mutter something weakly, but he heard it clearly enough: she said ‘Kuni’ very faintly and quietly. After she muttered his name, her smile faded away slowly as her eyes closed again and her head fell to the side as she went limp in his arms. Kunisada gently shook her figure as he called out to her once more. - “..Tori..?” –Kunisada didn’t expect to hear a response, he knew better but in his mind he wanted to. Kunisada lowered his head as he held the young Yamanaka in his arms, closing his eyes in the process, as he felt a sharp pang in his chest; memories of the night his parents had died and how he was forced to re-live those memories because of his brother flowed through him. As a small child who hadn’t even joined the Academy yet, he was powerless to stop his brother from slaughtering his parents and powerless to save them...and even now, as the leader of the ANBU, he couldn’t save someone he cared about. All of the years of Kunisada being taught and restricted about showing emotions as was such a thing a ninja and ANBU should do, Kunisada snapped. With his head still lowered, Kunisada harshly punched the stone table that Akatori was on; the punch was delivered to the right side of Akatori’s head and making sure she was out of harm’s reach. As his fist made impact with the table, he felt the blunt pain on his knuckles as well as the small amount of blood flow from his knuckles as the impact caused them to open a wound on each of his knuckles slightly. As the punch made impact, Kunisada let out a loud and drawn-out cry of anguish and anger, something he had refused to let himself show for a very long time and something he normally would never show: what did it matter, no one was here and he didn’t care right now. He felt his body begin to tremble slightly from the pain of losing someone he cared for and the anger that he felt that he had failed to save her. Kunisada’s eyes opened slowly and his left eye had reactivated into the hue of his Eternal Mangenkyo Sharingan, much like earlier it had activated on its own accord. He sat in silence for several minutes with Akatori still in his arms as he tried to calm himself down again; as painful as it felt right now, he found the action to be extremely difficult even with his training of self-restraint. The pain never left his chest, but he had to force himself to move because he knew Kagato was waiting on him; his Sensory abilities stopped feeling her chakra some moments ago. Without moving himself from the table or away from Akatori, he glanced over at the Senju’s body on the ground before a swirling vortex appeared behind the boy as it sucked the boy’s body in towards the vortex, distorting his figure as Kunisada sent him to his Kamui’s dimension; he didn’t know what to do with the boy’s body, but he figured that he’d know eventually. Kunisada carefully removed himself from the table as he laid Akatori’s head back on the stone table gently. He stood there by the stone table as he glanced at Akatori’s lifeless figure as the pain was still in his chest before Kunisada glanced at his wound, feeling something off about it. Kunisada glanced at two specks of blood above the gash to which he assumed belonged to Kesin from when he coughed up blood onto his arm when he punched him, but he felt more blood fall onto his arm when he did so. His mind began to process that the blood must’ve fallen into his wound. Kunisada processed the conclusion subconsciously in his mind, but his attention switched back to the young female as he glanced at her once more before forming the Clone Seal as another version of Kunisada appeared next to him. The clone of Kunisada walked around the room, placing a paper bomb on each wall of the room before standing still in the middle of the room. The original Kunisada scooped Akatori’s figure into his arms as he picked her up bridal-style; one arm underneath her legs and the other arm was supporting her back. Once he had her securely in his arms, a swirling vortex appeared once more as it began to distort and absorb Kunisada and Akatori’s figure until it swallowed them whole; the clone knew what to do. Once the two of them were gone, Kunisada’s clone placed one more paper bomb on the table where Akatori had suffered for who knew how long before the clone made the seal of the Tiger as he used the Great Fireball technique. He shot a small fireball onto the paper bomb in front of him, causing a chain reaction of the other ones to be set off as well as destroying his clone in the process, but that was the plan. The swirling vortex appeared once more as Kunisada and Akatori’s figures were both distorted upon exiting the Kamui before both of them were in physical form once more and after they had taken physical form once more, the swirling vortex was gone. Kunisada still had Akatori in the same position as he did when he left the underground room. Kunisada was extremely silent and made no attempt to change it; his body felt numb as it had been when he was a child on the night of his parent’s death...something he hoped he wouldn’t have to feel again, but such a thing was foolish for a ninja to ask for. Kunisada felt Kagato’s chakra source behind him as his back was towards Kagato and he didn’t turn himself around; he knew Kagato would be curious as to his behavior...but even then, Kagato probably knew Kunisada well enough and could probably feel the vibe radiating off of him to know something was wrong. –
Kagato: -Kagato watched as a vortex opened on the other side of him as he still had Athena’s dead body draped over his right shoulder ad her blood dripping from her mouth onto the ground painting the wet sand crimson color as it seeped into its very pores. From the vortex Kunisada emerged with his back turned towards Kagato seeing a pair of legs dangling from the one side of him he had known what happened. It had seemed they were too late and it was the direct cause of his student’s life. Kagato head lowered slightly knowing full well this victory also came at its price. His first student laid there dead in Kunisada’s arms. Without a word Kagato slowly made his way over towards Kuni. Kagato canceled out his Jutsu’s causing the rain and mist to dissipate and leave as quickly as it had come.  As Kagato placed his left hand on his shoulder taking a light grip he leaned in towards Kuni and parted his lips. “No need to say anything I know all too well how you feel at this moment…we may have won but we have also had a great loss…one we can never replace…” –Kagato lowered his head once more letting his crimson red strands fall around his face blocking and sort of view one would or could have had as he let a single tear drop form in his right eye and released itself only to run down his face to his re-breather. – “I will be making Athena one of my paths…but once we get back to the village we must let the others know…. if you don’t mind…” – The rest of Kagato’s Paths moved over to where Kuni and Kagato stood now placing their right hand on Kagato’s shoulder falling in line to where all five of the paths were lined up behind Kagato and Kuni. Kagato voice choking up slightly his lips parted once more before speaking to Kuni. – “Mind taking us back home…” – This was a slalom occasion where no words were needed to express the great sadness that was looming over them. Kagato waited to hear what response Kunisada had before he said or did anything else. –
KunisadaUchiha: -Kunisada heard Kagato move towards him before placing a hand on his shoulder and spoke of how even though they won, they would not be able to replace the one they lost to which Kunisada just stood still and absolutely silent at his friend’s words. The mist had disappeared from eyesight and the rain had done so as well, leaving just an uneasy silence in between the two of them when Kagato’s words fell quiet as well. Kunisada didn’t have anything to say at the moment, much as Kagato barely had anything to say to this loss; Akatori was Kagato’s student and arguably his most successful and favorite student. He heard Kagato speak of having Athena become one of his Paths, which he knew all too well was the plan so there wasn’t any shock about it. He also wanted to let the others back at the Village know of Akatori’s passing if he didn’t mind. Kunisada remained silent as he knew the Village would eventually find out about their loss eventually..how they were going to approach it was another matter however; one that’d he’d leave up to Kagato. He heard other footsteps behind him as he figured they were his Paths before he heard Kagato request him to take them all back to Amegakure. Kunisada’s Eternal Mangenkyo Sharingan never deactivated so after request had been made, a swirling vortex once again appeared where Kunisada’s left eye was before it began to absorb all 9 bodies into Kunisada’s Kamui, distorting all of their physical bodies before swallowing them all completely into the void. After a few seconds, the vortex reappeared in the middle of Kagato’s office in Amegakure Tower as all of them were being exited out of Kamui’s dimension. As they were all being gently pushed out, their images look distorted and unclear before all of their bodies took physical and solid form once more; after they all had the vortex slowly died out and disappeared. Kunisada kept silent and still with Akatori still in his arms as he waited orders from Kagato on how he wanted to address telling the others of Akatori’s passing. He also needed to talk to him about something else, but that conversation could wait for another time.
Kagato: - It wasn’t a feeling Kagato could get used to for after asking Kunisada to bring them home Kagato, His paths, and the dead corps of Athena that was flung over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes where as Kuni was holding Akatori’s body for this trip. The Trip through this vortex didn’t take long before they ended back in Amegakure. As the Vortex spat them out Kagato was now standing in Kagato’s office along with the rest of the crew who was swallowed up by the vortex. First thing was first Kagato slowly turned his head towards Kuni as his paths scattered a crossed the office. – “Thanks…” – With Athena’s corps getting increasingly colder and her body heat dissipating from her lifeless body he made his way up the steps to his desk. As Kagato made his way past the front of his desk he dumped Athena’s body on the top of his black and purple metal desk with a light thud pushing some of the paper work he had sprawled out over the top of it to the floor. Kagato’s lips parted slowly and spoke loud enough for Kunisada to hear him in a shallow depressing tone of voice. – “Well I guess we should inform those closest to Tori and well I need to break the news to my son about his mother…” – Kagato reached over to his right desk drawer and pulled it open. Kagato took out seven scrolls. Kagato pushed Athena’s lifeless body up on to its side giving him enough room to unroll the first scroll addressing it to his son telling him about the events on what his mother had done and why she was now nothing but a cold lifeless body. Kagato took hold of the closet pen that was to his right and began to write out five more scrolls each one addressed to a person directly involved in the matter which was Akatori’s team and Ritsuka’s team seeing as how it was Athena’s team before that. The letters went on to inform not just about what had happened with Athena and how Tori had now passed on along with the Senju Kesin but it also explained about how they were going to hold a service in the memory of Akatori.  Kagato then rolled each scroll up and placed the seal of the Amekage dead center of each scroll. Then began to write out the seventh and final scroll this time this was addressed to the Shikage since she had been on the trip with them he wanted to explain the matter was dealt with and what had happened with Akatori which he placed all in the letter like he had for the Shinobi’s of Amegakure. Kagato then started making chakra receiver blades one by one setting them on the desk next to Athena’s body until he had several two-inch-long black receiver blades. One by one Kagato Started to place the receivers into Athena’s flesh sinking them deep enough that they wouldn’t come out. Throwing a couple of them through her nose and   through her arms. He took two of the receivers and formed them in to almost half rings and shoved them through her paling lips which still had a bit of warmth to them. Once he was done Kagato began to channel his blue chakra through the receivers making her once lifeless body start to come alive again. Athena’s eyes slowly opened only this time instead of being the normal emerald green they were that of Kagato’s Rinnegan characterized by a ripple-like pattern around the pupil, with an amethyst purple iris and sclera in his left eye as well as a crimson red Rinnegan in his right. Kagato made her sit up on the desk and take hold of the seventh scroll before hoping down off the desk and taking off in a blur. Kagato was sending his newest path to The Village Hidden in death to relay the message to the Shikage. After Athena’s body took off out the door of the office the other paths followed suit taking one of the scrolls until only one was left. Each path took off in a blur heading for the intended person to deliver the news to Athena or rather Ritsuka’s team, as well as Akatori’s team only leaving out Kagato’s son Ritsuka.  Kagato Puckered his lips and whistled for his Vulture like messenger bird to come forth only a few seconds later did the very large black feather bird made it through the window of his office and land on his desk Kagato quickly tied the scroll to the bird’s leg and sent it on its way with a simple gesture of his right hand almost like he was waving good bye to it. – Kagato then Turned his attention to Kuni once more as the bird flew out the window once more in search of Ritsuka. Kagato lips parted slowly his voice sounding as if it was all dried out. – “As for the other two bodies that you have their Kuni… I suggest taking them to the hospital to be stored in the meantime… need to get the others together so we can hold a memorial in Tori’s honor...”
KunisadaUchiha: -Kunisada kept still and silent as Kagato thanked him and spoke about having to tell the ones that were closest to Akatori about what had happened as well as to tell Ritsuka about what happened to his mother. Kunisada didn’t respond, he knew that this was going to have to be done sooner or later so whether he agreed to it or not wasn’t a factor. He knew one thing and that he was going to have to leave before the other ninja arrived in Kagato’s office; it would be too hard of a blow for the rest of them to see Akatori’s deceased body in his arms. Moments passed as Kagato began to make notes as well as complete the process of making Athena his Path before seeing all of them take a message and disappeared from the room to deliver the notes. He listened to Kagato whistle at his vulture to come forth and quickly place the message on the bird’s leg before hearing its wings flap away as it left to go deliver the message as well. He heard Kagato’s dry voice come out from his lips as if he was robbed of water for the past several days. He listened to Kagato tell him about storing the two bodies he currently had with him; one being the fallen Yamanaka in his arms and the other being Kesin Senju in his Kamui’s dimension. Kagato had no way of knowing if the Senju was in his Kamui or if he had left him be back in the ruins of Sunagakure, but he figured Kagato was only guessing that he had done the first option. Either way Kunisada simply disappeared into a blur as he used the Body Flicker technique to vanish from Kagato’s Office. A few moments later, Kunisada reappeared at the Amegakure Hospital, close to where the room with the kanji on it was before Kunisada glanced at the door, pondering slightly on how to handle the situation of what to do Kesin’s body. Kunisada’s Eternal Mangenkyo Eye had deactivated since he had transported all of them home, so he didn’t need to reactivate it. A swirling vortex abruptly made itself known as a gust of wind making itself known quickly in the Hospital hallway before Kesin’s body on the ground at Kunisada’s feet as the swirling vortex quickly vanished as if it had never been there. As the vortex left, a medical nin came running out of a room a few feet ahead of himself before stopping at the sight of Kunisada.- Medical Nin: “Do you..need something sir?” –The medical nin asked as he glanced at the man dressed entirely in black holding a young female in his arms as well as seeing a boy on the ground by his feet.- Kunisada: - Kunisada glanced at the medical nin before parting his lips slightly, his voice coming out as if though he hadn’t spoken for days.- “..Kagato wants you to store these two bodies..” –Once he spoke, the medical nin nodded his head before he signaled a nurse to come over and help him. After the nurse arrived, she took Kesin’s body and the medical nin took Akatori’s body from Kunisada’s arms; something Kunisada felt like not doing but knew he needed to do his job. The medical nin told him that the two of them would be taken care of as per their Kage’s instructions before the two of them left and Kunisada slowly made his way towards the nearest room and closed the door behind him; the room itself was empty and Kunisada had his back against the door, halting anyone from entering without his notice. Kunisada’s emotions were still flying around his head as well as his chest as the thoughts of when he was younger ceased to leave his mind, causing him to shut his eyes tightly. Kunisada hadn’t felt emotional pain with anyone in over a decade because of how isolated he was; the only person he felt a strong emotional bond with now was Kagato, which was because of how long the two had known each other and because the bond happened as the two of them spent time together. Kagato had told him that he was like a brother to Kagato and Kunisada felt that Kagato was his brother as well. Kunisada hadn’t felt the emotional pain of losing someone he cared for in such a long time that it hurt a lot more than he thought. As his mind went back to thinking about how they were too late to save Akatori, Kunisada began to feel the anger take over as well as the sadness before a single tear fell through his tightly shut eyes; one tear fell from each eye even though they were tightly closed and fell down his cheeks as he slightly clenched his teeth to keep himself quiet in case of any noise tried to leave his throat from the anger or sadness. As the two individual tears fell, Kunisada felt his left eye pulsate twice, which caused his eyes to open quickly; whatever tears that had threatened were halted at his actions. Kunisada stayed still momentarily before reaching his hands up and unclutching his mask to where only his lips were revealed, but since he was utterly alone in the room, no one would see it. One he had done so, Kunisada brought his hand up and wiped the remnant of the tears away from his cheeks as well as whatever ones were still trying to linger in his eyes until he felt the tears no longer present. Once they were gone, Kunisada moved his mask back to where it was originally as it recovered his entire face before he reclutched and tightly secured his mask once more. Once the mask was secured to where it would have no chance of coming loose or falling off, he let his arms hang by his sides before he felt the sensation in his left eye remain as he stood still momentarily. Kunisada’s left eye was no longer a crimson blood red hue but it was now an amethyst purple colored sclera and iris with a black ripple-pattern that began at the pupil of his eye and spread throughout the rest of his eye. The thought lingered inside of Kunisada’s mind as his thoughts went back to his fight with Kesin; he knew that Kesin had coughed some blood inadvertently into his open wound, causing some of his Senju blood to mix with his own. The wound itself had sealed itself for quite some time now but Kunisada knew what was going on as he, just like Kagato, possessed the Rinnegan. It was fitting in an odd way as his ancestor, Madara Uchiha had been granted his Rinnegan through the same means as he had acquired his new eye. Kunisada blinked once more before feeling the powerful sensation fade from his left eye as he felt the usual sensation whenever his Eternal Mangenkyo Sharingan was activated before he deactivated that eye as well. He felt strange for having been granted this new eye but he shook the thought from his mind as he Body Flickered away from the Hospital; he needed to meet back up with Kagato at the Tower. After a few moments, Kunisada appeared back in the room of Kagato’s office, regardless of whether the others had arrived or not; when he appeared, he was standing next to wherever Kagato may have been standing.-
==End Results:==
Kagato and Kunisada were able to locate Athena and Kesin as well as end their lives but were too late to save Akatori Yamanaka and mourn her passing as they get ready to address the village by sending out messages having Kagato's paths hand them out.
