As Leon walked down the hall of the crystal chamber his thoughts on the task at hand, he was to retrieve a sword for the demon Seraphiel but he cared not for the sword or the demon, his requirements where simple his wife and a city to rule. Turning he entered a small room littered with books and items of strange origin, he smiled Sitting on the edge of his bed slowly putting his Faustian armour on, the armour was itself was alive and lived on blood it had not tasted any in a few days and it seemed to hum with anticipation of the slaughter to come. Closing his eyes he seemed to sit still not breathing but he was simply lost in a memory from his past.
[glow=green,2,300]The day he was remembering was calm and the breeze blew his shaggy hair in the wind he looked and saw the reason for every thing the love lost the keeper of his heart. This memory was vivid he could almost smell her perfume and touch her soft skin but when he tried she seemed to just move father away.[/glow]
As his eyes sprang open he wiped a small tear that had fallen and stood up. Walking toward the shadows he smiled and softly said
“Soon my love, soon I shall bring you to me”
Walking threw the shadow he emerged in his target city, the city called Mizukage this was the home of the shinobi they where the reason for his wife’s demise those they where perhaps the closest thing to a challenge magically as could be. Only Seraphiel so far had even sparked his curiosity and these filthy reaches would die if they stood against him after all they had murdered his beloved and they would pay if they crossed him. And the price they would pay would be there blood.
Standing still he removed a small amulet holding his hand out he dropped it so that it dangled from his hand as he slowly began to spin it in a small circle he smiled it was a gem designed to find items of incredible power and if this sword was as Seraphiel spoke of this thing would show him the way. As the gem started spinning faster it glowed green and finally pointed to a building in the north of where he stood. He then placed the gem back in his small pouch and began to walk in the direction it had specified. Tonight would be fun he thought as he slowly walked toward his goal.

The sound of the wind could be heard from even within the building. The only person there was standing in the center of the room. There would be no need to hide or anything else. Or at least it would seem that this single individual was the only person there. There definitely wasn't an army waiting around. But one man stood in the center of the empty room.
This building was were the ancient sword, the Masamune, was located at. A blade did in fact sit on a rack that was on the wall behind the one man that wore common clothes with a long indigo blue scarf of sorts. The tail of it slowly swirling around his body as chakra flowed through it. Though only as constant training. With black hair, he was the one who was the Hokage of Mizukage...Kokusho Nitsua.
He felt the disturbance. Someone had entered the village and was heading in his direction. He remained motionless with his arms crossed. His eyes darkned to the point of being black. He could sense each step that the human took. Early towards him, it made him slightly uncomfortable knowing that this moment wouldn't be avoided. However, something was greatly bothering him. The one that was approaching didn't have nearly the amount of power that the one that he was expecting. However, his guard wasn't going to be dropped by this fact.
The other shinobi including the elites were sent out on other missions. The normal guards replaced by this single used to be exile. Shunned for this curse and the reason for his great amount of power and abilities. However, the moment that is fixing to come would not allow for such dwelling on these types. Concentration and focus would be needed as this man was not here by accident. This world was on the brink of war once again...and Nitsua was ready for it either way.

As he continued to walk forward he couldn’t help but notice the lack of soldiers in the area, he had expected to have many to kill instead he was only intrigued by one aura as he had got closer he had felt something intriguing. If he wasn’t mistaken this person was the shinobi’s current leader. As a sinister smile cracked his cold malicious face he stopped and removed a small gem. This one was red and seemed have a strange purple haze inside. Removing his sword a long slightly curved katana called Bi’shin. He began running his blade along his hand his flesh began to separate and the slow trickling of blood began to run down his arm. Smiling as he dripped the blood on his red stone and then he threw it at the ground and a strange purple mist began to creep from the now cracked gem.
As he turned his armour begin to creep up his arm and slowly drink the blood that was there. Morphing from the blood it drank it became larger and spikes began to protrude from is arm plates. As the mist reached up Leon breathed it in. the purple mist was a form of drug that slowed his breathing down and lowered his aura to that of a dead man but in reality he had the same amount of power it just couldn’t be sensed.
As he smiled his helmet closed up leaving two small holes to breathe through even with his slowed breathing he still had to breathe occasionally, as the new armour shape finished its morphing, he chuckled beneath his encased armour and walked more toward his goal now smug at his aura being hidden. As he walked a little further he stopped and he began to laugh. He had seen all he would need to start a major distraction, A graveyard. holding his hand out streached he began to chant in a ancient dialect, as his chant grew loader the clouds seemed to darken and then the sounds of stirring could be heard. Turning he walked into a shadow to leave his zombie friends to there distraction. Exiting a shadow on the other side of town he smiled as he jumped up onto a nearby roof and started to walk toward the now close target building.
Drawing Bi’shin once more he held him and said
“Blade that slumbers within inner torment lend me the strength in by goal and I shall grant you a moments peace from torment that haunts you”
With that the blade started to glow green and Leon smiled all the pieces where coming together and the endgame was still to come and his check mate would be glorious.

Unmoving and silent, the village was at this time. Nearly completely empty except perhaps for any type of wildlife that had gotten within the gates. The undead raising from what used to be their resting places. An energy that slowly dissappeared and seemed to have completely vanished as if the owner of such had suddenly died. However, the man that was supposedly standing in the center room of the targeted building would not be tricked by simple things.
The trick of hiding one's energy or life force, might work on that of others, but Nitsua never used such methods to track down a foe. He was able to pick up the magics that emminating from everything. His vision almost to the equilivant of an owner of Byakugan. He was simply able to make out the auras. Even the mist that the artifact had would have been shrouded in an aura due to it's properties.
He stood there motionless as if a statue. Perhaps that was exactly there. However, he shifted positions. His arms crossed know went to their respectful sides. His gaze looking at every possible enterance that could be used to get inside of the building. He didn't bother to rule out teleportation or the use of portals seeing that it was very plausible. Seemingly enough a battle would end up breaking out.
A single Hokage with a trump card that he hardly ever used against a swarm of zombies and a human that had improved himself by the use of artifacts and drugs. Either way, not a single bead of sweat could be seen running down his face or even forming. His was calm and collected as he waited for what was to come. Perhaps the fate of this shinobi was that of death and destruction. His end drawing near and a village that was doomed to end up being burned to ash. The rack of weapons bearing that of what is called the Masamune. Nitsua waited patiently for his foe to make himself known openly instead of concealing himself.

Slowly walking along the roof he sblack personed it seemed that the man was still guarding the sword and that made him smile perhaps he had underestimated this foe but never the less the enemy was still a shinobi and they had caused his heartache so he would take delight if he had to cause his destruction. Jumping from the roof he landed on the ground just outside the building and he placed a hand on his head and said telepathically to his foe
“I’m going to wait here for you to come out I would rather not destroy the building and being outside gives us more space to fight, also I would like to offer a chance to end this with out bloodshed, while I hate your kind and would gladly fight you I would rather just have the sword behind you and be on my way.”
Smiling as he saw his horde of zombies follow him up the path while they where mindless they where still enthralled to him and as long as he commanded they would not attack. Turning back to the building he added
“If you don’t come out ill have my minions destroy your town and come and bring you out, and don’t think for a second that these mindless freaks are all I have at my disposal because I warn you that illusion will lead to your defeat.”
As a zombie stepped forward carrying a chair and placing it down he smirked before sitting down convertibly and crossing his legs while waiting for his foes response.
((Sorry it’s a bit late))

He heard the message from the one that was intruding. Unblinkingly he simply gazed forward knowing that the individual was no longer at the same location. The hokage smirked at what he was told. No sign of fear or anxiety just a person who was calm and under control and a deadly one at that. With speed that was incredibly hard to follow even with the eyes of a shinobi, the body that belonged to Nitsua vanished and then reappeared outside behind where Leon was sitting at.
"Leon is your name, isn't it?" the shinobi asked casually with his arms folded across his chest. "You seek an item that no being may weild. An item that is very valuable and as dangerous as that same value. However, you were sent by him weren't you?" He continued to question not moving his gaze. He wasn't fearful of this vilalge being destoryed. He knew that it could always be rebuilt and that nothing lasted forever anyway.
He recalled the comment about illusions. And slowly turned to face the back of Leon. His dark eyes focus on the individual in front of him. "You speak of illusions that will be the end of me." Nitsua slowly stated, "But what about the one that will be the end of you? Do you really believe that the one that sent you here can give back what was taken from you? Have you seen him perform such a task? It's not very difficult to bring someone fully back from the dead...even if they have been deceased for several millinia. Of course, not many shinobi go that far in their learnings to try and find such techniques."
"However, I am not here to try and sway your side." Nitsua spoke lightly as he glanced at the different zombies that were around him. As calm as a person that had seen an old trick for over the umptenth time. More of a bored expression was on his face than anything else. "I am simply hear to defend myself and prevent you from obtaining the blade that you seek. Do not let the simple tools or the extensive knowledge that you possess blind you. Somethings are very misleading."

Sitting in his chair comfortably Leon simply laughed and clapped his hands before saying in a softy menacing tone "Im impressed that you know me considering I’m dead to the world and my face is covered by my helmet, but if you know who I am you know I’ve no love for you kind and that should be evident from the amount of you I have slaughtered since the beginning of the great war, anyway I don’t want the help of those who slaughter the innocent. And as for my partner he will give me what I want of ill make him. So if I was you I would give me the sword because you seem to be underestimating me greatly.” Standing he smiled and raised his hand before turning and firing a ball of shadow into the hoard and laughing before teleporting to a nearby roof, as the ball hit the horde it created a sphere of shadow and the zombies inside began to merge into a single monstrous bone ripper as the monster gained its final shape. Leon shouted “Well what’s it to be give me the sword or ill grant you a painful death for the sins of your forefathers” Drawing his sword it shimmered green with evil energy and he pointed it toward his foe then simply smirking he though this gentleman was too calm and that would be his downfall, oh how pride comes before the fall.” ((sorry is a tad short but i think it gets the point across ))

Nitsua simply glanced and watched. His form slightly shifting though his gaze still calm though eyes were slightly wider with shock. The army of zombies where now forged into a single massive monsterousity. A chill went through his whole body, but then he shifted himself into a fighting stance. He pulled out a scroll from behind his belt. He bit his thumb hard enough to cause it to bleed. The necessity of a summoning type jutsu. He quickly with a flick of his wrist undid what was keeping the scroll held together and then with a jerk of his arm allowed it to star unraveling with his bleeding thum wiping against the parchment.
A sound of a small explosion and the release of a cloud of smoke enshrouded where the hokage was once at. Once the smoke cleared, he was standing there though in a different outfit and with all of his weaponry. He was now wearing his battle armor with a red scarf that had his own chakra flowing with it. The tail of the scarf loosly circling his body. The headgear made it seem that he possessed more than one pair of eyes. Kunai throwing knives were attached to his arms and a ninja sword was strapped to his back.
"You will never recieve the weapon." Nitsua boldly stated, "And the outcome of this battle is already clear. The one that is victorious will be me and as for you and your monster. You will fail to achieve your objective." And with that Nitsua performed the quick hand seals and peformed the Kage Bushin no Jutsu or the Shadow Clone technique. A massive army of his own self now surrounded not only Leon but also his undead creation. The army was easily five times the size of the prior zombie army and nearly every part of the city was covered. "I hope you are ready for death." Nitsua spoke calmly as they all waited for the next move to be made.

Standing atop the roof he had jumped to Leon simply started to clap his hands at the now huge army of one man. It seemed that playtime was over and he would have to step up his game to a new level a foe of this calibre required respect and even though he was a shinobi he would still give him the honour of seeing true power. Holding out his hand blood began to pour from the slits of his gauntlets but instead of dropping to the floor they seemed to gather in the air forming something, as they took shape they now looked like a book. Grasping the book in his hands Leon began to scan the pages for the appropriate spells to cast.
"I hope you are ready for death."
Leon began to chuckle again what the shinobi had said was ironic after all he was a necromancer and death was his playground and murder had become his name these where all things the shinobi had lead him too, sighing he raised his head his eyes now black the pupils completely gone he touched the book and an eerie black glow encased the book and its wielder smiling he raised his sword before shouting
“Silly boy I am the master of death”
With that he began to float on the air now he would show this shinobi the power of shadows and death. As he began whispering in various forbidden tongues the air seemed thick with the smell of death its faint aroma of sickness dwindling upon the air. As he stopped speaking he smiled for the shinobi had forgot that that many copies had a lot of shadows now he would have to fight himself. With that the shadows seemed to move on there own not in unison with the bodies they came from and began to attack there new enemies. They where now leon’s puppets and the puppet show were just starting. As he laughed harder he shouted.
“Now kill this shinobi filth”

A shame really. Even if this human was a necromancer, there wasn't one technique that the current Hokage of Mizukage couldn't use unless it was something that was genetically related. Either way, the ability to manipulate shadows especially his own was something that Nitsua was very fluent with and all it would take is one of the dopplegangers to activate the technique. In which, he did. However, Nitsua was no real fool so decided to make it seem that the shadows did in fact begin to attack the copies themselves.
While the scene of the shinobi fighting their shadows was going on, something was in fact unfolding. Coming from behind and attaching itself to Leon's shadow was the shadow of Nitsua. Kage Shibari no Jutsu, the shadow bind technique had been applied. Of course, one with a great enough brute strength could get free. But those that were successful of doing it where few in number. The clones stopped the false fighting as they to focused upon using the same technique. While one Nitsua stood behind Leon.
"If you are truly a master, then you should acknowledge that there will always be someone better than you. You are fighting a losing battle as we shinobi are capable of using our own necromatic abilities and some of them surpass that of a typical necromancer. I'm afraid that you will have to try harder than that." he calmly stated.

Listening to the shinobi’s words he sighed and softy replied
“perhaps you should take your own advice you seem also to be lacking in excepting there are better people then you all you do is go on about how much better your race is when you truly have no idea what you are talking about I admit a normal human can not stand up to a shinobi when it comes to magic but I’m not entirely human any more if you haven’t noticed then you are a fool”
as he felt a sense of a holding spell he smiled using the very things he travelled threw to confine him was simply stupid and he though this fight was worthy of his time it seemed his lust for revenge had gotten the best of him, this continues loop of counter spells could go on all night instead he would simply do as he always did find the simplest means to his goal. Teleporting threw the shadow that imprisoned him he exited near the sword he had travelled to retrieve waving his hand he watched as the sword disappeared teleported to a place only he could go. With that he teleported back to the roof top he had previously stood upon. Smiling slightly he took a slight bow and said
“A parting gift for a quite pleasurable display of power it seems we will have to finish this next time ”
With that he raised his arms and I began to rain but the rain was not normal it was a rain of blood the crimson liquid covering the armour still trapped in the shinobi’s shadow hold. As he watched as the armour began to grow and morph into something that dwarfed the city he smiled the armour itself was demonic in nature and simple shadow hold would do nothing to hold it. As he sank into his own shadow he smiled seeing that his zombie monster had also started to rampage threw the home the sword once lived in. although he would have liked to stay his only true goal was the return of Julia and now it was in reach.

Everything seemed to be unfolding and Leon seemed to have grasped victory. The monsterosities were destroying the village and thousands of the clones were being defeated with a pop and a small clouds of smoke. Defeats ugly head seemed to appear in this situation for the Hokage of the shinobi. Or did it?
Slowly everything went black. What was a whole village was now a small room that only two people were in. Both Leon and Nitsua...or what looked like Nitsua. His stare calm and unamused. The one who thought he escaped wasn't going to be leaving anytime soon. He simply gazed at the one, who had attempted such a thing. Leon's abilities and powers were rather impressive. However, there was one flaw to them...nothing had happened. All the events prior to this moment from the second that he thought he was inside of the village was all but a fasle. Even his escape and the claiming of the weapon were of the same essence.
"Again, you understimate my power." the shinobi spoke, "I am not one to deny the capabilities of a human. I am all too familiar with them. However, their understanding for shinobi is very much shrouded. There is much much more that they do not understand and are lacking of knowledge. There are more to us then our techniques and combat skills. And you have fallen for the very same thing. Blinded by the clouded and concealed knowledge of our race. You do not ever think that you are ready to face a full fledged shinobi. Because I hope your master can help you."
The room slowly transformed from a simple layout of an interrigation room to that of an open field outside. The shinobi was now standing behind Leon with his arms behind his back. "You have been trapped in a genjutsu as soon as your first foot landed outside of the portal that you came in. You will probably eventually wake up, but that is highly doubtful. Your master or another shinobi will probably have to release you from it. Other than that, you powers have been sealed while you were in the illusion. Outside of it, you have all but been sleeping while your mind told you of other things that are occuring now. The sword you found called the Masamune was a fake and will never be found by the likes of a human. Only the hokage as the access of that weapon as it has been sealed within the confines of space and time. I'm sure that your acquantence will be capable of removing the seals that are binding your power. But as for seeking revenge on the shinobi or even coming after me. You are not ready nor will you ever be retreiving the sword."
With the final words of the shinobi towards Leon, he vanished from his view. Nitsua was truly gone and he would not be able to be found by Leon. His words were true as in reality Leon was lying on the ground in a seemingly deep slumber. While Leon was trapped within the genjutsu that Nitsua had bound him in, the shinobi leader had already left. The village was actually completely abandoned. The Masamune location would be unable to be found and the weapon unrecoverable without the cooperation of Nitsua. Now Nitsua has been and is making his way through Vaenon and staying on the move so not to be found by Seraphiel or his underlings.

He could feel it, something coming, something powerful, with a taint that was very familiar to him. This could be the one that he had heard of. Nun continued onward toward the place he was told had a necromancer, a powerful one. As he drew near he sensed something and rushed toward it, encountering a shadow, but he knew it was so much more. He waited and watched as a figure emerged, clad in some kind of living armour, then unceremoniously collapsed. Nun cautiously approached, not sure if this was ruse or not. He could sense the necromantic energies coming from the armoured one, but couldn't be sure if he was the one called Leon.
"Hello?"
He slowly nudged him with his foot, ready to jump away in a heartbeat, but nothing happened. It seemed like he was asleep. He tried shaking him some more but got no response, then splashed some water on his face through his helmet, yet still he slumbered.
Must be a mystical sleep
The death Shinobi couldn't be sure how to wake him, as there was no way of tell what magic was used, but knew of a way to find out. He sat on the floor and began to make hand gestures, creating symbols with his fingers and palms and quietly chanted. His words began to get fainter and fainter until the he stop speaking all together and seemed to fall asleep. What he was doing, he had only attempted once before, to extract his own soul and become an astral projection. Part of the spell was to keep his body in a state of suspended animation, so he could simply re-enter his body when he needed to.
He felt weightless, and formless, yet he could feel that he was above his body. He willed himself forward, toward the armored one, and began to descend toward him. He encountered some resistance from the shell but was easily able to pass through and entered the body of its occupant. As Nun made his was to the core of the sleepers unconscious mind he came across recent memories and thoughts, images of a fight with a Shinobi, but he ignored them as he headed towards the core and hopefully, his dreams.
He was suddenly in a dark area with only one occupant, the armored one, now appearing awake and approached him, having assumed a dream form himself.
"Hello I am Nun."

Standing still he sighed he hated cheep tricks like this and breaking out would use too much power, power he needed for his plan. He smiled sensing another enter this dream reality perhaps it was a nosey shinobi, no it was, he smiled it seemed as if two soul’s where blended into a singular vessel… interesting.
Turning he looked at them softly reaching for a thought to pluck as he said
“Good evening nun and if I may ask what brings you to my subconscious perhaps you are sight seeing or perhaps as I sense you require my aid.”
It seemed as thought the active entity this nun was hell bent on bringing this other dormant entity to life he believed it was his creator but in fact they where both splinter personalities of the same mind, interesting indeed that such strange folk existed and this shinobi was powerful, to young to be blamed for his races faults, then again he was shinobi and they where a thorn in leon’s existence, but no this nun would be a powerful ally. Smiling he added
“How rude of me I am Leon st cross and I will grant your wish if you promise to serve me as a bodyguard also as my guard I shall increases your power ten fold and teach you moves lost to the world.”
Walking up to him he whispered
“when you exit there is a pouch on my belt in contains a green stone break the stone and it shall awake me from this slumber, the armour will not hurt you if your intention contains no ill will toward me it will let you access the stone.”
An with that he walked back to his original position.
