Shikayumi could hear the thunderous roar of that barrage outside off her protective shield. It reminded her of restless nights of wavy storms blowing through the land of fire. However, the booming noise resided just as fast as it began. Cautiously, she lowered her shadow's guard to find herself encased in another. To her right stood a proud, confident Mitsutada. "Thank you, Mitsu." She said as she presented him with a smile of gratitude. Rising to her feet, she wiped the soot from her brow. "The situation has become a lot more grim than we could have ever anticipated. I still have some remaining chalkra, but, with just two of us I don't think we could create an effective countermeasure."
Off in the distance she could see her sensei confronting the shogun of the land. However, it appears that he had been playing this village for fools from the beginning. She looked across the battlefield towards where she hit Magnus only to find nothing. "We don't have much time. If we are going to take action, we'll have to do something soon. Either way, I'm in this with you to the end." As a sign of reassurance, she placed her hand on his shoulder as it slid down his back before she would strike a unique Nara stance. She was preparing for their final technique.
Her shadow pulled away from her body as it connected with Mitsutada's. From the feet up, her body slowly became transparent like her shadow as she began to sink into the ground. Within a few seconds, Mitsutada's shadow would be replaced with the silhouette of Shikayumi. "So, what's our plan of attack?" Her voice would echo in the back of his mind now that they were linked.

The People Scream Kerron
A grin spread across Kya's face as she felt Yumi appear through the vibrations in the ground. As things began to happen, Kya merely moved herself to stand almost at the halfway point between them, but out of the direct line of sight between the two. She would call the shinobi she brought to her side, almost in a state of neutrality it would seem. The Kech had made their first move, taking complete control of the situation, nearly at least. Micheal was in Kleine's clutches, and threatening to be killed by Yumi's own hand. Kya allowed her hat to fall back and hang loosely around her shoulders. She had watched enough of this, the pointless fighting between Kage and Shogun was grating on her nerves. Kya would kill Lucius in a heartbeat if he stood against her. But Yumi seemed not to have her same strength. When the northerners came down, hw would be crushed anyway, so the insect might as well be stomped here.
At the point where Kleine challenged him, Kya would also make a move. Hidden Mist shinobi, we will back the Shogun of fire here. She would command as her eyes activated and the ground around her began to shift into metal. Ten discs of metal would raise from the ground, two of them moving through the air at high speed to intercept the trench knives. As for the fool who would throw himself at Kleine, he could deal with him of his own accord. The rest of the discs would go in seperate directions, into buildings, the ground, generally out of sight but positioned to strike through whatever hostile elements Kya had already picked out of the group. She cautioned a glance to Lucius, Kasumo, and Kaisen, expecting them to follow orders.
Ten Soldiers from Wu Xing>> SS rank ((Why are we still fighting here -.-)) 550-600
Yumi's eyes held something of a half-lidded look in Kleine's explanation of his "God". If it was all powerful, why was it not with him? Still just another metaphysical entity that was given credit for efforts for the hard work that the human made. If this being was so powerful, witnessing his power outside of some "vessel", would make it a lot more plausible. But whether the existence of this entity was alive of not, the true threat to the world of the shinobi of the world stood before him.
"Your vassal?!" Yumi repeated, as if offended by the words Kleine said, "Why would I protect a person who attacks his own people? Who puts his own ambitions before his country? You deceived the village and betrayed your country! You are no Shogun of the Fire Country and the military of Konoha will not follow a man who went against his own. Specifically one who will not even allow a young man a proper burial. It is you, that is worse than a disease. Worse than maggots that crawl through sh!t." Yumi hissed through gritted teeth, enraged that the man even thought he had the audacity of a Shogun when he attacked his own country. He was nothing more than a terrorist. As far as Yumi was concerned, the Fire Country held no Shogun.
When Kleine further pretended to act as a Shogun of the Fire Country, Yumi would look pass a look to Shikayumi, "If Kleine won't demand his pet to relinquish the corpse of our shinobi, I will promote you to Sannin rank. To combat this false Shogun who relinquished his honor to the Fire Country, by supporting the death of a shinobi of Fire and put his own organization over building the power of the Fire Country." Yumi wasn't deep into diplomacy, but he was sure the elders wouldn't find any grievance to Yumi dismissing an order from the man with those strikes against him.
He doubted Kleine would accept the terms, of simply allowing the corpse of Arashi to be dropped. But if he wanted this to end, he already achieved the reason he came for. Keeping this... "trophy"... is the only means to bring up the trouble that brought them to this situation here. He would retrieve Michael very soon. Hopefully before the demon got extracted, but at the very least Yumi would have to recede from attempting to rescue him now. But Arashi would not be apart of that deal. As he awaited to see if Kleine would release the very thing that continued the tension within the area, Yumi saw Magnus make the first strike where the crimson eyes slowed down the trajectory of the strike to see that he was actually aiming for... and it was Michael! Yumi didn't want the demon to fall into this organization's hand as much as he, but at the very least he would attempt to save his comrade until the very end... or better yet...wake him up. Taking one regular kunai and another explosive one, he'd send them both flying forth. First the explosive kunai then the regular in an upward diagonal. Utilizing the precision of the Sharingan, the kunai would be hit at the hilt by the second kunai, sending the first kunai back down at an angle in an attempt to make interference with the kunai that Magnus sent or at least to hit a drastically less lethal area to arouse Michael from consciousness. "We cannot kill our own. Or we will be no better than him." Yumi spoke as another issue started to transpire from out the corner of his eye.
That issue other than Kleine was that woman....The Shogun of the Water, Kaisen, then that strangely aloof woman. All moved off to the side as if Yumi wasn't going to notice. They were not friends. The alliance that was made between them was immediately severed once the new regime came into office. The only person Yumi felt some slight bond to was the Shogun due to his help before, but in this situation, he held very little faith that he would assist again. Kaisen... was the main person to stop the attack on the gates, and his power still was not fully understood; just that he was exceptionally powerful. He was a mystery to Yumi and a component of his alligiance being even further of a mystery. But their timing in all this begged him to be exceptionally suspicious. That left essentially six opponents against four. But given the levels of chakra on the other side compared to his, they were at a great disadvantage; especially given the hard hitters in Konoha were strangely unavailable. But though the fox thought she could maneuver herself out of his line of sight, she could not get out of his field of vision. After all, the entire district had been leveled previously. Hiding... was impossible at this point.
Yumi readied for her betrayal since she entered the village instead of taking to the designated areas he proposed. Prepared for it mentally. To which his Katon chakra would be molded in his right hand and cupped over his mouth to pose a position of deep thinking, as he kept her within his peripherals. Making sure the greatest threat was in his line of sight, but similar leveled threats to remain in his field of vision. She did not even need to finish her sentence for Yumi to strike without warning. Thanks to his specific Sharingan, Yumi only needed to lip read to "we will back the Shogun" before a flaming spear would escape from his mouth where his right and left hands would grab it to assist the speed in which to remove the sprear. By the time she completed the final word of the sentence if not slightly before, Yumi would be utilize his great strength to chuck the spear with exceptional force. Scourching everything within two feet as it went towards its target. Aiming for her chest region, right between the breast cage, simply for the fact that there was a bigger than the head or more vital areas. Should the spear hit, the heat itself, outside of the trauma of being impaled, would do the most lethal damage.
With the simultaneous moment that the spear left his fingers, would his Lightening Armor flare out and crackle angrily around his figure as he accessed the situation and the one method of escape should things go south. He could not quite help his village... the nations that were uncorrupted by this Kech Mecha...if he fell here. As he posed ready Yumi would speak up, though projected his words mostly to Lucius, "Lucius... if I am correct. You were a man of honor. You helped Konoha before. Do you support terrorism amongst the great villages? It seems your Kage has decided that terrorism is for the better. That killing Jinchuurikis is for the better. That being down upon your knees before a single man... is for the better. Do you really want this for the world?" Yumi inquired, he couldn't really speak to others, but Lucius he had a very faint level of persuasion that he could hopefully pull. Kaisen... he knew not of his loyalty or the girl's. But Lucius had shown in the past what length's he'd go for peace. Even if Lucius chose no sides and decided not to fight all together, it would give his people a better chance to combat the threats that plagued his home. If not, in worse case scenario, make a retreat then hit hard when they weren't constantly having to defend.

• Sharingan Perception While the Sharingan is active, the wielder is able to see even the slightest movements made by their targets, making them near impossible to trick with a sleight of hands move; this includes being able to see chakra, even underground.
• Jutsu Mimicry While in battle, the Sharingan can let the wielder mimic a jutsu that was used in the previous post as long as the wielder may use that jutsu for an additional 50% chakra. The user may mimic a jutsu that is not of an element they possess, as long as it is below their rank, for double the chakra cost. Any jutsu mimiced lose 1 rank in power
• Jutsu Copying While observing a jutsu be performed, the Sharingan may copy the chakra patterns used to perform the jutsu, allowing the wielder to gain instant knowledge of how to perform the jutsu. In order to learn the jutsu, it must be a jutsu the user is normally able to perform, meaning only jutsu of their element, clan, or bloodline.
• Genjutsu Identification Due to the ability to see one's chakra flow, the wielder of the sharingan may see when one's flow is being disrupted by a genjutsu or tell when they themselves are under one, allowing them to break out of them easier.

"No matter how small my steps are, they will eventually add up. Even if I didn't win today, the step I take now will take shape one or two months from now." Main Theme Song of Mitsutada Gūru
With the new change of things in motion, it seemed another fight was going to break out, and Mitsu had already made up his mind. With a sigh, he positioned himself behind his Hokage in a defensive manner, both hands spinning the the katana's to a reverse grip with the points facing up. Mitsu took this moment to deny the attempts of Shikayumi's shadow puddle transformation embodiment technique because it would be best for business. For the moment it seemed it was two versus the world, but it eventually became evident it was 1 versus the world as from Sekai and it's copy came an an extension, quadrupling the reach of each of the katana's from five feet to twenty feet as Yumi began his attack on Kya. Should this attack not pierce the heart and one of the lungs of the man behind him nigh instantly, Mitsu had already prepared another attack to follow it up which he planned to do regardless, and that was his bloodline's secret Phantom Slash, a practically instant six slashes, now twelve with two katana's which reached out to twenty feet now, that even the Sharingan should have a hard time following for the speed at which they were carried out by, so by the time Yumi even began to dodge, if he even could, it wouldn't matter. At-least one hit would land by the time he managed to get out of the range of the others. Truthfully, anything more than one cut from this would be overkill, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. Those of Konoha may of seen this as betrayal, but that was not it entirely. It was survival. One life for the cost of thousands. Should Yumi manage to dodge this, then he would still have to deal with Kleine's and Kya's assault, followed by anyone else.

(The only method of in-battle promoting is by installing an Anti-Kage. The reason this system exists is because village shinobi are more likely to be loyal to their Kage, thus a Shogun/Kage war would be impossible to win for the Shogun. Unfortunately, Kleine makes good allies, so this is just another weapon to be utilized against Yumi. You can't actually promote Shika to Sannin mid-combat, but if you both live, then I'd feel absolutely fine with you promoting her. It's just unlikely that Yumi will live at this point. Like, chances are in the 0.1% regions.)
The man could only listen with glee, to Yumi's anguished speech. A dying dog barked the loudest and with the most ferocity. In exchange, Kleine could only remain calm and collected, watching as everything went exactly as he wanted. Magnus's attempt to kill him was pathetic. The man extended his Nen Innervate to form a tight-woven circular shield around he and Michael, easily deflecting the blow with its vastly superior power. He didn't even pay Magnus any mind. As he was, the man was nothing but cattle. He was just a minor nuisance. All of them were at the moment. And that was what all of this came down to: hope versus hopelessness. To them, Kleine was a great power to behold, something to hate and to fear. A power that could strip their lives away. To Kleine, who had everything, all that was in front of him was nothing but ash and rubble. Yumi's power was nothingness. Shikayumi's power was nothingness. All of it was just a joke. Fire attacks? Lightning armor? Who gave a ********? He had Kya, the Kech Marah, and more and more leaf shinobi began to either run away or convert to Kleine's side.
That began with Mitsutada, who was the greatest threat of them all. With his conversion, the 0.1% chance of Yumi surviving this became a double zero, and thus it was all to end. "You are not my people. If you were my people, you would have obeyed. The rest of the Fire Nation bows before me and does my bidding. The world spreads itself wide open for me like a whore. They chant my name, they wear my emblem, they scream liberation. Where there was order, I have created chaos. The ability to do all that you please. The ability to hurt anyone you want and hate anyone to the point of killing them. The ability to fight for your aspirations with fire and blood. All that I have asked of the people that I have given this luxury to - the Kech Marah - was allegiance to me. Do you know what that's like, swearing fealty to Kleine Heiland? It's like surrendering yourself to the most enchanting and terrifying of all adventures. It's like letting up and giving in to the call of the hunt - that monstrous part of yourself that calls you in your sleep. That anger that wants to kill. That need that wants to devour. I am all of these things - human nature. I will lead humans back to who they truly are. With that in mind, I accept your label as 'terrorist' openly. Terror was the method, the goal and the means."
As for ruling the world - that was simply a side-effect. He would command humans with honor, and they would eventually close the gap to perfection. As he had removed all weakness from himself, so too would they. That was the dream. "One thing you never acknowledged, Yumi, was that our arrangement was entirely a Kleinocracy. You are but the mayor of one city, while I rule the cities, the temples, the castles, the lakes and the coast . . . the people, their love, their ire, their thoughts. I have always been in charge. I have always gotten my way whenever I wanted it. It is because it is meant to be. How else do you think I've managed to come this far? How dare you be so arrogant as to believe you can deny my will?" He languished in pleasure as Mitsutada betrayed him, striking from behind so close as to murder him with a single swift blow. "Some of your citizens understand this better than you. Mitsutada understands what we are, he and I. I am his liege, he is my vassal, and for as long as he obeys he will always hold the key to the heart of the world."
The meaning of heart brake; it was all to familiar to this poor girl. Constantly ripped, and torn, away from everything she might have loved she slowly began to wonder what she was fighting for; or more importantly what was worth living towards. As Mitsutada pulled away from their bonding technique, it was like ripping off a band aid, but the band aid ripped a large piece of her heart, as the other half sank in her stomach.
"Mitsu?" her voice choked up. Mitsu was virtually one of the last pillars in her life that was keeping her head above water, and without it, she would begin to sink into the darkness. Michael was captured, Mitsu had betrayed her trust, along with her love, Arashi, Magnus; what was left. She was buckling under the pressure, and it was clear that she was too "broken" to fight physically. She glanced at her teacher for only a second with an apologetic look, then she looked at Mitsu one last time with a teary eye before vanishing into the shadows. She had flee'd the seen; it was all she could do to hide the shame inside.

At this turn of events...Kaisen could only grin. Well, that grin escalated into a light chuckle as he looked in Kleine's general direction, speaking to the fire shogun directly.. "My, oh my...I was correct when we last sparred." He stopped about twenty feet away from the man, his Sharingan and reflexes prepared in the event of a potential attack. "You have a certain kind of stance that I admire. The way you speak, the way you conduct yourself...it exudes power. I'm happy to have found someone who acts like that. Someone new...someone exciting. Someone who's not afraid to set this world on fire." This was so...thrilling. Watching the minds of the young and prideful run wild in a ferocious display of power and authority. "But if you remember at all the conversation we had last, you would know that I have a particular...hatred for weakness." Those crimson eyes now honed on Yumi. "At the gates, I admired your determination. I enjoyed that you were able to stand in front of me and turn me away, even though our information was critical. But here...I see your weakness. Instead of being powerful enough as an individual, you rely on the power of those around you. How pitiable. Instead of being a good, submissive dog in the face of superior power...you've bared your cute little fangs. Perhaps in hell, you will learn to bow properly. Be silenced, mutt." A fierce rebuttal, and a general resignation of Kaisen's potential assistance to the Leaf. He looked on as Mitsutada's fierce attacks ensued, a skillful feat of swordplay from a fellow samurai was always appreciated.
However, even Kaisen knew that he wasn't needed here. Instead of trying to come in and add more to the battle, he would simply stand watch in case more intruders seemed to want to join in on the fun. Cutting off a couple heads wasn't outside of the realm of possibility.
Events were progressing too quickly for himself, and Lucius could feel a deep resounding weariness grow within him. Just as he thought the events were over though, the Hokage decided to come in and join the fight. However, the shift in chakra in alarm within his head gave Lucius a brief period of warning before the spear constructed of pure black fire was shot at them. With a slight shift in his arm, a scroll popped out and the fire was quickly absorbed into a seal on it. This seal, the ultimate fire seal, could seal any fire technique so he intended to protect his group. What Lucius wasn’t expecting though was the sudden sickness that overwhelmed him. Coughing up blood onto his shirt, Lucius felt his vision sway and his footing faltered. Damn he thought as he stabilized himself on the ground, attempting to cover the crimson blood coating his sleeve so that nobody would worry.. ”Kya I need to leave, something important seems to have come up. I trust that you can handle yourself.” As he was on the edge of unconsciousness, Lucius would shift in reality and suddenly be gone. Now at his office, he quickly coated himself in medical chakra as his breathing slowed and the world enveloped him in black. He needed rest, he would be better in a few hours.
OOC: Sorry everybody, I’m incredibly busy and it would just hinder everybody else if I stayed in this fight. As such, I will be taking my leave!

( Post marker because Gaia logged me off and my post was spirit-ball large. I'll post sometime tomorrow. Sorta demoralizing when you are doing your proof reading, hit the wrong friggin' button, and Gaia gives you the "Uh Oh!" page. cat_cryingcat_cryingcat_crying )
To say that Yumi wasn't prepared for anything would be an understatement. The fact that he stood tall against Kleine meant that he had to be ready for everything. For if he sniveled away like other Kages would or follow blindly, he could only assume that the world would truly be lost to his goals. Yet something surprisingly came into Yumi's view that was quite hard to notice. Despite his threats, Yumi couldn't help but to notice that Kleine still protected Michael. Despite all of his belaboring it seemed to further solidify his thoughts that Michael was very integral to his grand design and could not be so easily disposed of. If he was so disposable, he would not have taken the effort to protect him. It was something that he would definitely note for later.
Though those thoughts that he would've shared to his shinobi depending on how the outcome of the battle played out, was halted as something quite peculiar caught his eye after he tossed the spear at Kya. Being the leader of the assault against the enemies of his village, Yumi needed to make sure or at the very least follow in accordance with his people so that their attacks coordinate perfectly. Given the reduction of numbers in comparison to those they may have to face, making sure the effectiveness of each attack would be paramount to their future success in defending their home. Yet... it seemed like he was the only one holding that mentality for what was occurring between Shikayumi and Mitsu; something that would forever change Yumi's persona.
What truly brought his attention to the two was when Mitsu departed if not simply broke away from Shikayumi's technique. Partly he could understand this as he wished for Shikayumi not to be harmed. After all, she was his last surviving student, but she was the next to highest member in the area that was on the side of Konoha underr Mitsu. As much as a challenge would be fun in most circumstances, this wasn't the time he was ready to roll the dice. But what truly baffled him was when Mitsu further moved from her to move behind him; or in something of an oblique angle as Yumi obviously would have to follow the Sannin in curiosity for him changing the formation by taking a step back with his left leg to angle his body so that he could keep at least some visual of both his opponents and allies. That... was stupid which was odd because his Sannin wasn't stupid. Given that neither of them were Ninjutsu or those that naturally had true long distance support-attack abilities, taking a position behind him wasn't the best of choices; and given who his opponents where, he'd rather Mitsu at least speak to him his perceived tactic before making a move. Everything... Every ounce of movement... counted... and this formation didn't seem as beneficial to their combative cause. There was nothing but a baffled expression as his crimson eyes gazed at the man until deja vu brought recollection of what was really happening. The rotating blade. A position that for a samurai, would hold little sense to attack from such a distance when their enemies weren't at a proper distance to truly attack with a blade; not that he was knocking Mitsu's powers but being a bit closer to their enemies would prove more beneficial against the enemies. Except now... it seemed like he was the enemy. In Mitsu... at that moment... he saw his brother. Both striking him from behind. Both doing it for the very same thing... gaining power.
He could remember the traitor like it was yesterday. They had both recently passed their exams. Yumi a Chuunin. His elder brother a Jounin wgere upon he teleported Yumi to the Uchiha Training grounds for training. Tadachi taught him some of their father's illusionary tricks, stronger ninjutsu, and how to properly utilize his Sharingan. And just when Yumi's Sharingan fully awakened...the same face that Mitsu had his brother held when he tried to kill him. Destroy him. The same memory relapsed in his mind as the swiftness of the attack, though greater than Tadachi's at that time, played out the same way; except now he was strong enough not to be so gullible. His Sharingan may not be able to predict the blades themselves but his memory recognized a traitor. With the situation as dire as it was, it was time for Yumi to make a real change. One that would finally destroy the bond for a place he thought he'd protect for an eternity.
With the speed of Mitsu's attack upon initiating the blow after it's preparation, Yumi had very little options. The distance prevented him from utilizing many of his sword styles, and even attempting to grab his sword would be seconds wasted. Leaving him with one alternative; and that alternative erupted from him and the area around him; for if his muscles weren't quick enough, then he had to rely on the dual organs that held the capabilities to be.
The flames devoured the blades with the pureness of the rage of their creator. Those flames would surround and block any other attack made within the reasonable time frame of Mitsu's attack and a little after before those flames coiled around Yumi to create a rather large Chinese dragon who held the same slitted eyes as he. Yumi wasted no time in being shocked at the traitor. To complain at his mistrust. Enraged that he even attempted to befriend his shinobi. The only person he needed to be loyal to was himself. Traitors will be food for the maggots soon if they even chose to feast upon that despicable pallet. Yumi instantly went straight into weaving through seals to conjure up three clones, "Katon: Neshou Bushin"; clones that not only mimicked his likeness but also his stats. Utilizing the heat of the flames that surrounded him three clones would appear facing in the direction of Kleine, his "associates", and Mitsu.
The belittling to Yumi's methods of leadership made him chuckle some. On the inside he was laughing manically to their words tossed about as easily as an escort's nether region at a Daiyamo's party. First.... was Kleine and his "claim" to be an agent of chaos. He was doing nothing more than tearing one form of order to be replaced with his own. How can one do what they want and continue to follow an order of one man? Did he think people were going to continuously fear him? If this, so called "individualistic" power of his people was so high, how long would they fall to their knees and be subservient to him? Despite how "chaotic" he may think his new world would be, it was nothing more than order with less rules. If he continues down this path, he may think people will continue to follow under his liege, but just like Yumi there would be a time when one will attempt to take over.
A true agent of chaos would tear the world asunder with no intent of reforming it. To take newborns and feed them while they cry for the safety of their mother's bosom before hellhounds rip out it's noisy throat. To choke that very mother with her own umbilical cord, then present her severed head on a plate of roses to her lover while he corpses acts as a pinata for children. Where true chaos reigned. No order. No rules. Only those that are strong enough to continue what little rules that have within there area; yet it too will fall or degrade when the last light of the world is diminished.. They believe he holds the rank of a villain? Hold any stripes to call himself a true agent of chaos? No.... Was he powerful...Oh course. Was he chaotic..? At times. But an agent...no.
Loyalty. Kindness. Befriending his shinobi all brought him to having to deal with traitors. He was soft on his people. Constantly trying to figure a way to where his people would not need to fight. His entire term in fact was a mockery of what it should've been. Should he not have had to deal with the elder's making deals with the Demon Country without his say, dealing with a possible war based on false facts, and dealing with those damnable silhouettes. If there was one thing Yumi would remember from Kleine's loquacious rants was he needed not to friend anyone. To simple "be" that which his peers could not. To be far, far more than they. To be as vicious and fiendish as he was to those he tortured in the Gallows.Why be simply the "Demon Uchiha" when he could be the "Demon King"? And by the looks of it, the world needed to be wiped out by hell spawn. Every...single...living... thing.
The next person that bothered Yumi was Kaisen; someone he definitely wasn't speaking to in the first place. But when he felt the need to speak to Yumi, he spoke as if he were giving some kind of ultimatum to Yumi's weakness but was baffled at how loose his lips were. The very people he sided with were doing the exact thing he found was weak! If Kleine had marched through the front gates instead of Dr.Who'ing into his village and making strike, Yumi by all means would concede to that devastating power. But no. He held people. Those he had to rely on. To take his orders. Yumi would even go so far as to hypothesize that him appearing was due to the battle not fully doing as smoothly as he anticipated. Even if his followers were below him, he still needed to rely on them to do his biding; keyword...rely. It would've been different, if he conquered them all then gained follows. Something that mot one shinobi, has done. Since Yumi's birth, everyone conquered with another at their side or below them. None, completely and utterly took down every single faction by themselves. So his words hurt Yumi's esteem about as much as the Amaterasu flames that viciously surrounded him.
"Yeeeaaaaa...." Yumi said after a bit of silence, almost in a sarcastic tone as he rubbed the back of his head; even more so when the Shogun of Water Ash Ketchumed his spear. Between the masterball scroll and the berating Yumi was done. He'd remove the Kage cloak without even taking a gander at it as his clones began to weave through hand-seals, yet the clone facing Kya would hold a different series of seals; yet each clone wove through the seals at such a speed one would think Yumi held some skills of the Ninjutsu-ist trained. "So I've been doing some black guy thinking...skipped a couple of rocks-," Yumi said as the flames of his dragon engulfed and eat away at the cloak until he let it go and completed his severance. Why be the liege of Konoha when so many turned their backs on him? If loyalty was a terrible thing, then he need not stay any longer. He held another throne that he has yet to take. It seemed like now, would be the best opportunity, "-and you are all hypocrites." Yumi would complete his sentence as the clones finished their seals and fused their mixed chakra of Katon and Raiton while the Chinese dragon lifted up it's large head skywards; or at least to a particular object that held a liability should his rode to freedom be somehow revoked.. Yumi wouldn't elaborate on his words. This was not the time to preach anymore. It was time, for once, to listen to Kleine... surprisingly. Why keep being good when he can do better being bad?
The clones knew what they had to do. And went about their attack flawlessly. The clones positioned to the front and back of Yumi, or the ones facing Kleine and Mitsu would expel the Uchiha's favored "Katon:Goukakyuu no Jutsu" sized technique at them but there would be a wicked twist. The twist was the fusion of the elements of Katon and Raiton that made the large orb hold a blindingly vibrant light that to anyone that uses their oculars for vision would find difficulty in staring at it or the area for that matter; specifically given that there was two of the same attack being made. But there was still that one clone that had done different seals and instead upon completion, slapped it's hands upon the ground where several things occurred. Blinding light of Raiton electricity would expand from Yumi's location, if not strain the pupils even further with the blinding light that was already surrounding the area before an explosive blast of fire would follow closely after. Intending to just about level the entire area with his attack. If he was going to be alone in this world. To be that individual entity they "claimed" they all were... then it was time for him to start acting like it.
But before Yumi would make his dismissal for good from the plague that surrounded him, one should remember an earlier event. Dear Magnus had thrown trench knives at Kleine where upon they were either blocked by Kleine's armor...thing... or intercepted by Kya. Yumi had himself attempted to block those knives for he wished not for Michael to be harmed. Before Yumi made his decision to break paths, he would not want his shinobi to harmed by his own; they were... at that particular time of mentality, family. Regardless the maneuver would have that particular kunai on the ground seemingly unnoticed by Kleine and his compatriots. Probably because he was boosting himself with hot air that Yumi's own betrayed him and the others just had to chime in like school children picking on the supposed lesser kid. Regardless it was time to leave with an even further parting gift from the one with "little fangs." Yumi formed the seal "Snake". Where Kunai wrapped with an explosive tag would detonate remotely... at close range at that. What would be the outcome of his attacks, Yumi didn't care. Damage. No damage. A kill... No kill. He was over it all. Now it was time to move on to other things and his hands would transition from the "Snake" to focus his body on a particular style to... "leave without leaving." To assue that he was still standing in the mist of the possible destruction of the area while the "truth" too to another route. Taking his departure from the area in a roar of speed, or leaps, to get just enough distance from the area in the mist of all of the destruction to ultimately vanish with the seal of "Bird". His full time to stand against the oppressors will come when he is not constantly having to deal with set backs.

Passives: ♛ Tank 'Classed': Through the hard training that they have gone through, and mastery of it, the master has an enormous body. Making physical attacks towards them [1.25] ranks lower. For every rank below the user at this level, it will decrease by a fifth.
♛ Fists of a One Man Army: The user's fists after training have gotten thicker and harder like bronze. Making Taijutsu strikes with their fist be [+2.50] ranks higher than their own.
♛ Second Wind: The user's stamina has gotten to the point, that it is harder to make them fall down, and stay down. If the attacks are lethal (such as being stabbed or etc.) the user gets a moment of 'Second Wind' and feels more refreshed. [ Add 10 Chakra points upon taking a physical hit C-rank and higher.
• Sharingan Perception While the Sharingan is active, the wielder is able to see even the slightest movements made by their targets, making them near impossible to trick with a sleight of hands move; this includes being able to see chakra, even underground.
• Jutsu Mimicry While in battle, the Sharingan can let the wielder mimic a jutsu that was used in the previous post as long as the wielder may use that jutsu for an additional 50% chakra. The user may mimic a jutsu that is not of an element they possess, as long as it is below their rank, for double the chakra cost. Any jutsu mimiced lose 1 rank in power
• Jutsu Copying While observing a jutsu be performed, the Sharingan may copy the chakra patterns used to perform the jutsu, allowing the wielder to gain instant knowledge of how to perform the jutsu. In order to learn the jutsu, it must be a jutsu the user is normally able to perform, meaning only jutsu of their element, clan, or bloodline.
• Genjutsu Identification Due to the ability to see one's chakra flow, the wielder of the sharingan may see when one's flow is being disrupted by a genjutsu or tell when they themselves are under one, allowing them to break out of them easier.
• High Chakra (+50 Chakra)
• Sharingan Taijutsu-ist +1/+1 to base stats, and the ability to create a custom weapon/tai style emphasized around the use of the Sharingan. May be slightly stronger than your typical physical style. ※※※※※※※※※※※ Equipment

Unfortunately good sir, I can't really say I agree with that. It says "stats". In general. It is not specific nor restricting to only physical stats. Going by that wording, I'm going off of general stats which usually encompasses all stats. Now, after the battle, we can probably look over some techniques and make them more specific. I'd be happy to do it since I'm obviously not Kage anymore and will have time to dwindle in changing the wording of things.
Edited: As I said to Aaron ( Bottom quote ), if you'd feel more comfortable with the chakra being lowered, I'm cool with that. As it is now, they do seem a bit astronomical... But a complete overall, I admittedly wouldn't agree to making a change until later.
But to try to switch something in mid-battle causes me, respectfully, suspicion.

My clones did do only one to two o.O In fact, each clone did 1 technique. Two did the same technique, one did another.
Also your notion of the Shadow clone is incorrect. Based on our definition of the Shadow clone ( if we are to reference it ) it divides the chakra of the user and the clone itself has it's own chakra pool. Not sharing the chakra through...some odd means.
Now if you'd like to re-evaluate the this clone and many other elemental clones, by all means I am fair game for that. But just like I told Shane, I am not comfortable or even agree, to doing that in mid-fight. At most, I can agree to lowering the level of chakra the clones actually possess.
Magnus' attacks were other blocked or just simply knocked off. He stood outside Kleine's shield confused as he tapped it with his blade as Kleine continued to talk to Yumi, if you want to call it talking. "Well...s**t." He said as he jumped into the air creating a large sheet of paper and floated into the sky and watched the events play out from above. Slowly, he drifted higher and higher until Yumi launched his maneuver and vanished at the height of the noon sun. After all, how could he compete with the Shoguns and kages in their warring of the powers. [exit]
