Crimson Scarf, Forest Tights

"Shit, this guys going to be tough" Kankuro said after hearing Lee say how their opponent faught. Kankuro looked over to Shuiro as he spoke. Next thing Kankuro knew, he was under a massive boulder about to crush the two allies. Jumping ontop of Salamander and pulling Crow and Black Ant with him he closed Salamander's sheild on his back protecting him from the jutsu. Kankuro knew that with Lee's speed he'd be okay, otherwise Lee would have to get in before he closed the shell. "Thats one hell of a jutsu" Kankuro said while shaking from the force of the jutsu crashing down onto Salamander. Luckily the jutsu didn't brake through the puppet's sheild. Opening up the sheild as it pushed the rubble aside from the jutsu Kankuro look around to find Shuiro. Only to see he was trying to escape. " I don't think so" he said jumping off of Salamander as he swung his arms and twirled his fingers. Crow emmidiatly got up and flew into the air towards Shurio. But before it reached him its mouth popped open releasing five kunais drenched into poison right towards Shurio's back. Hopefully Lee was alright and could strike at Shurio without getting in the way of the kunais.

-Lee dodged bolder
-kicked Shurio towards Kankuro

Rock Lee's attack connected, but Kankuro's didn't. Shuiro nurst into a puff of smoke as Kankuro was on guard ready to use Salamander to protect him. His attention was caught when Lee's ankles were grabbed. He was completely caught off guard when he heard another Shuiro come out of the rubble behind him. "What!?" Kankuro said as he was kicked from behind with the most powerful kick he's ever felt. Headed straight for Lee, Kankuro attached chakra strings to the buildings around him to hold him back from smashing into Lee if he resisted. Falling onto the ground on one knee he turned to look over at the Shuiro who had attacked him only to see Salamander into peices. "Dammit" Kankuro would say still on one knee from the pain of the kick.

Manuvering his hands once more Crow would lift up and turned towards Shurio charging at him once more. Not getting in close combat range, Crow releaed a single bomb from his mouth. Hitting the ground infront of Shuiro it would explode capturing him in a cloud of poison. Kankuro didn't know if it was the real one but it would still be intoxicated it the poison gas entered his body. Bringing Crow back to him Kankuro knew the Shuiro would not stay in the posion smoke. Once he came out Kankuro would make his move. Having moved Black Ant into the air behind Shuiro during the posion smoke, once Shuiro came out Black hands body would open up. "Black Secret technique: Machine two shot" Kankuro would mumble. All of a sudden multiple chakra strings would shoot out from Black Ant's chest wrapping all over Shuiro. The chakra strings would pull Shuiro into Black Ant's body as it closed up. And there was no way of him escaping because the chakra strings were binding him. With a couple twingels of his fingers two scythe like weapons appear on either side of Black Ant and reap through Shurio killing him instantly, cutting his body into three peices. Kankuro then turned to Lee to see how he was doing and to aid him if possible.

Landing back into his strong fist stance after his kick connected Lee watched his opponent slide across the ground and deflect Kankuro's attack. Watching as Shuiro performed a set of hand seals, Lee prepared himsels for some sort of earth jutsu, but instead he exploded into a puff of smoke. Knowing he didnt leave the battle feild as he just threatened them. Knowing he was coming at them with something, Lee never lowered his guard. Lee herd a crack sound from bellow, and as his massive eyes darted down to look at what it was, Shuiro's hands were grabbing onto his ankles. Swiflting ducking down to try and grab onto Shuiro's hands, knowing he was going to pull him into the ground, Lee would try to stop him. But he was already being pulled into the ground. Adding chakra into the palms of his hands, Lee would place them onto the ground since he was already bent over. Up to his waist had been pulled down into the ground by the time he got his hands onto the ground. Stopping his decent into the earth, Lee started making a constapated face as he tried holding himself above the ground. Now that he stopped his decent into the ground he would have to try and pull his legs back out. Slowly more and more of Lee's body was being pulled into the ground as he tried preventing it from happening. "Firts Gate: Release." Lee would grunt as he opened the first of eight gates. Gaining the strength he needed, Lee would roar as pulled his legs out of the ground along with Shuiro if he was still holding on. Rolling forward, Lee would swing his legs downwards so he was lying flat on his back. Shurio would smash into the ground right bellow Lee if he still held onto his ankles. Using the momentum of the roll, Lee would stand back up and swiftly thrusted his right fist towards the Shuiro that lay flat on the ground now bellow him. Roaring his he did so, Lee's fist would collide right into Shuiro's face. Blooding would explode onto Lee's fist as Lee shattered his nose. If it were the real Shuiro, Lee would follow up with another punch on the exact same spot.

Shuiro kicked the bomb back Crow managing not to make it explode. Kankuro quickly made Crow swing one of his arms up knocking it as it was knocked into a building exploding there doing no harm. But Kankuro noticed that Shuiro vanished so he could no longer continue his attack, and there was only one place where Kankuro could think of where Shuiro would be headed. And it was towards him. Not being suprised when Shuiro was infront of him his first reaction was to release the strings on his puppet and jump back. Sliding acorss the ground as Shuiro had jumped into the air to strike, he now left himself open for a strike and could not use his high speeds to vanish again. "Here we go" Kankuro said as he swung his arms once more attaching the strings. Crow lifted up from the ground cocking its head towards the hanging Shuiro. Releasing around 10 senbons from its mouth they would all stab into Shurio's back injecting him with poison. Then Blach Ant would swing by in the air as Kankuro would use the same jutsu he previously tried to use. If all went well, Shuiro would be inside of Black Ant with his body sliced into three parts.

As Lee watched the bunshins arms deatach from its body he would say to himself "A clone!" Now realizing that the real Shuiro was attacking Kankuro. A little surprised that the heavy clone was fast enough to block Lee's first punch, the clone would fallow up with an attack from his other leg. Swiftly thrusting his other fist into the incoming foot, it was crack as well as Lee stopped it in its tracks, before it could hit his croch. Grabbing onto the clones first leg with both of his hands, Lee would slide one of his legs across the ground and shift his hips to face behind him. If the clone though that his arms would prevent Rock Lee from moving freely he was sadly mistaken. Lee was use to fighting with weights twice the weight of the clones arms, and Lee hadent put them back on from his previous encouter with Shuiro. Lifting the clone up off the ground, Lee would turn his upper body to face the same direction as his hips as he let out a vicious roar of youth throwing the clone strait into a serounding building. Braking right through the tiny building, the clone would burst out from the other side and collide into the building behind it cracking its wall. If the bunshin did not shatter into peices then it too would have cracks spread throughout its body just like the building. Punching the remainder of the clones arms, they would shatter to peices and fall onto the ground. Dashing forward, Lee would vanish, heading towards his teammate Kankuro.

Kankuro had a smile on his face when he caught Shuiro with Black Ant. "It's over" he muttered. But his expression rapidly changed to a shocked one when he noticed Black Ant's scyths not being able to cut the body. He was even more shocked when Shuiro came out of no where with a flying kick right through Black Ant's body. Kankuro knew he had no chance of saving Black Ant for Shuiro had already delivered the second kick. Removing his chakra string from black and he attacked them all to Crow. As Shuiro did he last kick kicking Black Ant to the ground Kankuro removed all four of Crows arms as they opened up into blades. Before Shuiro could fully make it to the ground Kankuro made the four blades come in from every four different dirrections. One blade stabbing in each of his thighs, and the other two stabbing into the top of both his shoulders. If the blades connected it would make it hard for him to both move and use his arms. "Now it's your turn Lee" Kankuro would say because if the blades had connected with Shuiro it would give Lee an opening for an attack.

As Lee bolted down the road heading towards Kankuro's position, Lee saw that Shuiro had disasembled one of the puppets with his Taijutsu skills. Weather Shuiro was hit by Kankuro's attack or not, Lee would still make his move and it was probably be successful seeing as Shuiro had no idea that the green beast was heading his way. Once Lee was ready to make his move, he would completelty vanish and reapeare right above Shuiro. Performing a summersault Lee would swing his right heel right into the top of Shuiro's skull. Using the same move he used on Gaara in the Chuunin exams that cracked his sand armour. Lee's heel would collide into Shuiro with bone braking force, smashing his face strait into the dirt road that they stood on. Once landing Lee would swiftly perform a back flip gaining some distance from Shuiro to see if he could recovered from the powerful blow.

"This guy...." Kankuro said as he blocked Lee's kick in an unordinary way. And with the change of color in his skin he probably entered one of the gates. Kankuro swung his arms around as he pulled out the three blades that stabbed into the ground and swung down the one that got deflected by the nail. But not aiming it form Shuiro, but cutting the red scarf he sent for Lee in half. With the other three he stabbed two into his right thigh and one into his left with the poison injected into his blood. Swing both his arms to the side Crow would zoom right over Shuiro releasing a few senbons right into his back also ejecting him with posion once again. Pulling the blades out of his legs Kankuro would reconnect them onto crow. Turning Crow around but getting some distance from Shuiro Kankuro got ready to strike once more and back to Lee knowing he was badly injured.

Lee was surprised that Shuiro stopped his incoming kick. A jolt of pain ran through Lee's leg strait into his knee as it snapped down, being perfectly strait making all the force of his kick hit his knee. Grunting in pain, Lee would be unable to move do to the extreme pain in his knee, but thanks to Kankuro, he cut the incoming scarf so it wasnt able to wrap around him. Using the opening to get away from Shuiro, Lee would kick off of his lef with his other foot. Coming to sliding hault, he would swiftly open the 2nd Celestial gate. Healing himself, bringing him back to tip top shape, this would also allow him to fight through the pain of his right knee. It wasnt the best idea, but it was the only one. Shuiro was now in the 3rd gate and things werent looking for for Kankuro and Lee. If Lee were to go back into the 4th and 5th gate he would surely die, so he would try to buy some time before he had to enter the gates once more. For now Lee would have to stay on the defensive end of the battle because none of his attacks would work on Shuiro while he is in the 3rd gate.

"A Konoha Nin, a Suna nin, and.... you" Kisame would say looking right at Shuiro. That made it obvious that the Konoha and Suna nin were hear to retreive their fellow Jinchuriki's. Meaning the unknown Shinobi was part of the group controlling the village and who captured the Jinchuriki. Now that he knew who his prey was his smile grew even greater. " This can go only two ways. Either you tell me where your keeping the Jinchuriki captive, or Samehada here won't have to shred you to bits" as he tapped Samehada on his shoulder.
Meanwhile Kankuro was laying on the ground on his stomach with two of his own blades peircing through his arms. In a whole lot of Pain he rolled himself over letting out a yell from the agony of the pain. Looking over he noticed he was surrounded by Kumo ninja. "This isn't going well" Kankuro moaned." But their attention turned to the Akatsuki member that just arrived. He was ok now, at least for the moment. "Lee" Kankuro said, loud enough for him to hear it. Once he came he would need Lee to pull out the blades in his biceps. Once he did that he would instruct him to reach into his pouch for the antidote to the poison. The poison was currently flowing through his body and if they didn't do something quick it could be harmful.

"Kankuro!" Lee yelled when Shuiro knocked hima away. Lee jumped away from Shuiro coming to a sliding hault as he watched the Taijutsu nin pull Kankuro's weapons out of his thigh. Lee's eyes opened wide when he realized Shuiro threw one of the puppets weapons towards him. Swiftly moving his head to the side, Lee avoided the incoming blade. A lock of black hair fell from his head as the blade came inches from his face. A stunned and worried face struck Lee when the army of Kumo nin started popping out of no where, serounding the area. The two Genin were in trouble when unexpected help arrived. To Lee's amazement, it was the Akatsuki, and the same shark man his team faught last time. This would open a slight window for Lee to go aid Kankuro. Swiftly bolting forward, Lee came to a sliding hault beside Kankuro, and knelt down right beside his ally. Listining to his teammate, Lee would swiftly thrust the blades out of Kankuro trying to make it as painless as possible. He then reached into his pouch and fed him the antidote. Keeping an eye on the Kumo nin who stood around the area incase one of them made a cheap attempt to kill them while they were not looking, Lee waited for Kankuro to gain full recovery.

Kisame simply watched as the guy get back up as bugs were coming out of his wounds and flying away. Kisame would have guessed he was an Aburame but because the bugs just flew away he knew he wasn't. Kisame started chuckling as Shuiro spoke. "Hoshigaki Kisame, remember that name. It's probably the last one you'll hear of." Kisame looked around to Shuiro's remark about him having to fight all the kumo nins as well. Looking back at him Kisame laughed once again. "Look at you, you look like a fish out of water. You should be no problem to handle" always smiling, obviously provoking the nin. "Sharks don't need help taking down easy prey" responding to his remark about the other partner. "So you know we travel in two, but you don't know me. Sad" Kisame said trying to see if he had a temper or not. When Shuiro got into his stance he knew they were about to fight. He looked around at all the other shinobi around him and knew there was no chance of him winning, atleast not yet. Flipping Samehada under his arm pit holding it there, Kisame clapped his hands together. "Suiton: Suikōdan no Jutsu" as Kisame raised both his arms to the side letting Samehada fall to the ground. From around his arms released two massive water sharks, one from each arm. As the two over sized sharks hot out they ripped past multiple Kumo nins covering a ride spread are at great speeds. Kisame dashed towards Shuiro just as the sharks blew up hitting even more shinobi. He opened his palm as Samehada flew right into his hand and clentched it once he reached Shuiro. Instantly halting infront of him he swung Samehada with both hands right at the open part of his abs. What ever the outcome was Kisame would have to check behind incase any shinobi attacked him.

Meanwhile Kankuro could hardly move because of his poison. In a couple of seconds soon his whole body would be paralyzed. And after that came potential death, especially since someone was coming down at him mourpheus style.

Just as Lee was about to give Kankuro his antidote, a little black kid grabbed his hand preventing him from doing so. How did he not realize that there was someone standing right beside him. Looking up as the kid smoke, Lee soon realized that there were Kumo nins all around him. It seems that they made it to the tower. Seeing the incoming punch heading his way, Rock Lee swiftly ducked it. Going back into attack mode, Lee would swiftly sweep the ankles of the kid holding his arm. Thanks to having the 1st gate already opened and no weights he moved much faster than the kid could react. Punching the kids arm that held his wrist forcing him to let go, Lee swiftly grabbed hold of the falling kid and thrusted him into the woman who threw the punch towards his face. The kid would crash into her abdomen sending her crashing to the ground. There was now a shadow growing larger on the spot where he and Kankuro were. Looking up to see another shinobi desending on them matrix style. Swiftly Lee spin to kunais out of his pouch and launched them towards the enemies face. Wether they hit or not they were just a destraction for his real attack. Vanishing from the ground kicking up a trail of dirt, Lee's image would apeare infront of the falling shinobi would be dealing with the kunais. Spinning around in the air Lee would yell "Leaf Hurricane!" His spin kick would strike the shinobi right in the stomach sending him crashing into a moutain. Falling down over Kankuro landing with his legs at his side, without hesitation Lee opened the bottle and forced the drink into his opened mouth.

Samehada missed as expected. But Kisame didn't expect him to cut off half of the bandages surrounding Samehada. His swing had ended as he let go of Samehada with his left hand holding on with his right. Just when Kisame was about to swing Samehada again he noticed Shuiro swinging the arm with the kunai. Because of Kisame's proficiency with Samehada he lifted the hilt of it deflecting the kunai with the small skull on the end. With suprising quickness Kisame bent his left knee extending his right leg as the kick slid right beside him. Moving under his foot so it was now on Kisame's left side and bringing Samehada back, he put his left hand under his ankle holding Shuiro's leg up in the air. The moment he held Shuiro's leg he swung Samehada sweeping his left foot forcing him to the ground. In the same motion he let go of Shuiro's left ankle while bringing Samehada around with his right arm over his head. Once over his head he grabbed Samehada with both hands swinging it down with tremendous force smashing Shuiro into the ground cracking the ground under him. With the many scales that Shuiro revealed him, Samehada was now pierced into his chest and had absorbed a large chunch of his chakra. Kisame then formed a single hand seal as water moved out behind Shuiro forming into another Kisame. This Kisame would take its Samehada and smash the bandaged part of it right onto Shuiro's shoulder to brake it.
If Shuiro managed to get to his feet before this happened, Kisame would still create the water clone behind Shuiro. Only this one would wrap its arms around Shuiro with amazing strength to keep him there. Then with Samehada the real Kisame would smash it into his shoulder pulling it much like he did to Asuma, only this time eating some chakra with it.

The little kid had replaced himself with a rock and back flip kicked the vial of antidote out of Lee's hand. The kid then started flipping through the air with the vial in his hand. The enemy shinobi was still desending towards Kankuro and the other kid was getting away with the vial. For sure Kankuro had more than one antidote for his own poison, but Lee wouldnt take that risk. Taking out the falling shinobi as he had enteded too, and landed over Kankuro. The little kid didnt realize how much faster Lee actualy was, so at the speed his was moving hed never get away from Konoha's green beast. Vanishing from the spot he stood on, a tiny dust cloud would burst over Kankuro do to the amazing speeds Lee moved at. Seeing as he was still in the First Celestial Gate and wore no weights, the kid never stood a chance of running away with the antidote. Apearing infront of the kid, Lee would deliver and swift, powerful side kick strait into his stomach. Hitting him with such force, the kid would arch around Lee's shin. Do to the sheer strength of his kick, the kid would let go of the antidote allowing Lee to catch it. Landing onto the side of the moutain while the kid broke through a building and crashed into the ground, he would vanish once more and apeare beside Kankuro, not giving him the antidote yet to see if any of the Kumo nins would attempt to attack the Suna nin.
