Mukuro Rokudo chuckled to himself as he entered the Hidden Cloud. Anbu agents slumped to the ground out cold, as he walked passed them. Suddenly Takeshi appeared next to him blocking a zambato from touching him with his own ninjato.

Darui blinked as he stared into Takeshi's playful brown eyes. "Maa Maa, You shouldn't go throwing toys around, especially when they're this sharp, you might cut someone's head off." The user of rain flames said in a nonchalant tone, which had everybody else (except Mukuro) face faulting.

'Can somebody really be that dumb?' Darui thought to himself as he struggled to keep Takeshi from overpowering him. 'Damn it, I can't move an inch or he'll cut my head off. He truly is worthy of being called the Blade Emperor.' The cloud ninja thought to himself, as Takeshi finally overpowered his fellow swordsman, and nearly decapitated him if Takeshi hadn't leapt backwards to avoid the Yondaime Raikage's attack.

"Why have attacked my village!" A demanded angrily. "Hahaha, You almost had me there, Raikage-san, if I hadn't sensed you're chakra at the last minute I'd be paste on the road." Takeshi said laughing cheerfully, getting baffled looks from the Cloud Ninja.

"What the fuck is wrong with him?" C asked confused at the laughing swordsman in front of them. "I honestly don't know whether he's just an idiot or fearless." Darui said lazily. "Fufufu! He's not either." Mukuro said chuckling at his friends antics. "He's just completely insane." Ken said under his breath, only for Chikusa smack him upside the head. "Mukuro-sama told us not to talk about him that way, Ken-baka." Chikusa hissed in his friend's ear.

A scowled at the two intruders. "What are you doing in my village?" He demanded again, of the blue-haired Akatsuki member, who only chuckled in his creepy manner in response. "Fufufu! I'm afraid I can't tell you that, Raikage-san." As he said this he reversed an genjutsu C had tried placing on him and the man collapsed screaming in agony.

"It seems you've tried to place a genjutsu on Mukuro and he placed an even more powerful one on him in response." Takeshi said cheerfully as he & Darui fought using their blades. "Water Style: Cocoon of Rain!" (1) Takeshi said as he spat a wad of pale blue water that wrapped around Darui.

C frowned as struggled to stand. He watched Darui move slower every time Takeshi managed to get a strike on him, and now the man's movements were like a snails. His eyes widened in shock as he realized what was wrong. "IT'S THE WATER, LORD RAIKAGE! IT'S SLOWING HIS BODY FUNCTIONS DOWN! IF HE ISN'T REMOVED FROM THE JUTSU SOON, HE'LL DIE BECAUSE HIS BODIES FUNCTIONS WILL HAVE STOPPED ALL TOGETHER!" C screamed, as Mukuro and the Raikage clashed and Mukuro seemed to be winning effortlessly.

"Fufufufu! It's seems that he figured Takeshi-kuns jutsu out, but it won't matter because only Takeshi can step into the cacoon without being effected (2) and he won't do that because it could cause us to fail our mission to capture the eight tails." The blunette arched an eyebrow, as the kage attacked him head on, only to phase right through him, as the real him stepped up to the illusion and smirked as he turned towards the Raikage.

"We have the eight tails, bye-bye Raikage-san." Mukuro said as he & Takeshi shimmered and vanished out of sight. Darui slammed into the ground with a loud thud. "Are you alright, Darui?" C asked worriedly of his comrade. "Yeah, where did they go C, can you sense their chakra?" The Storm release user asked, earning a shake of a head from C.

"No, I don't sense it at all, and that's the problem, they just vanished all together. Their chakra didn't even spike signalling the use of a teleportation jutsu (3). It's almost like they were never here to begin with." C explained confused about the unknown ninja's abilities.


Killer Bee was thrown on the ground in front of Pain. "There you go, Leader-sama." Takeshi said cheerfully, as he turned on his heels and left the Village Hidden in the Rain's God's presence. "Fufufufu! That was way to easy, and now it's time for us to ditch these guys, Takeshi-kun." Mukuro said as he and Takeshi left the Hidden Rain unnoticed by anybody not even the supposed "God" of the Hidden Rain.


Author's Note(s): Please review & tell me what you think of my stories!

(1): Water Style: Cocoon of Rain is a combination of Takeshi's water style chakra & his rain flames.

(2): Since he created it, it stands to reason he knows how to pull somebody out of it, right?

(3): It would make since that a teleportation jutsu would cause a spike in a person's chakra even if it's only for a moment as their chakra's anchoring itself down somewhere else.
