▱▰▱Akaran and Akihiko were settled into their rental apartment in Zaishin. They would be hanging their hats here for a longer period of time than they were used to. Aka had work to do as the yokai ambassador for Zaishin. He needed to reach out to the other oni clans as well as other tribes of yokai that he was completely unfamiliar with. Akaran plopped himself on a sofa and spoke to Akihiko while rubbing his eyes. "I don't even think I speak the same language as these other yokai. I don't know how a bonehead like me is supposed to help them get along with the samurai." It was all extremely overwhelming for the swordless samurai who just wanted to help. He was working alone and could not see how one oni could reverse centuries of prejudice in such a short amount of time. "On top of that, Musunde wants us to do this super dangerous mission right away. Something about a Jiongu from the Land of Rivers bringing samurai back to life in the White Forest." Akaran laid his head back on the sofa which was designed in such a way that it reminded him of his childhood. All of the furniture in their apartment was of traditional Zaishin mumbo jumbo style.

Akihiko stretched out on the sofa as Akaran joined him and complained about his work. It certainly didn't seem easy, and it was a pretty big ask for one man. But Akaran had been excited enough about the offer to be an ambassador - despite the fact that no amount of money or property from the job could surpass the things Akihiko wanted to spoil Akaran with - so Akihiko had kept his peace about it. "You're not any more boneheaded than samurai," he dismissed. "I think you've already done more for them in a month than the samurai have done for yokai in centuries."
He considered the mission at hand. "Playing with life and death like that... must be some kind of sick summoner, sick medic, or sick illusionist. All three of those possibilities suck." He threw an arm over his eyes as he leaned back against the arm of the sofa and sighed softly. He hadn't expected Akaran to find such purpose in Zaishin, but then, Akihiko hadn't expected to find purpose in his sudden son, so it wasn't the kind of wrench in their plans that he could complain about given his own baggage. So there was no way around the mission at hand.
"Alright, then. Super dangerous mission. Let's show these samurai how to take care of business, eh?"
usual love language: no, you're not an idiot babe aki love language: you can't be more stupid than those guys

▱▰▱Akaran arched an eyebrow and made it seem like he was going to make a clever remark. However, this was clearly beyond the simpleton's grasp. "Wait, but I'm a samurai too. Does that make me a double bonehead?" Akaran looked genuinely concerned as he did the "math" in his head. Once it was time to do the mission he gathered his belongings that he needed for missions before they headed out. Once they left the protection of Zaishin's walls it truly began to feel like the mission had begun. "Wow, we've got a warm summer this year." It was thirty degrees Fahrenheit. The Iron Country native started fanning himself off despite how cold it still was even in the middle of summer. As they walked through the mountains they would eventually reach the White Forest. Once they set foot in the area, three samurai with glazed-over eyes began mindlessly running toward them. "Those must be the samurai zombies." Akaran recalled from what Musunde detailed to him in the report. They channeled chakra into their katanas before slashing waves of chakra at them. Aka ran toward one of the chakra waves and destroyed it by extending a bone sword from his right palm. Once they clashed the bone snapped off onto the ground but he still dissipated the chakra saber strike. He then ran toward one of the samurai that the samurai saber directed at him came from. He delivered a series of strikes using his bladed hand that were so strong that they actually created pockets of air around the samurai that crushed in his armor. With each additional strike, the armor and skin was punctured until the samurai collapsed.

Akihiko drew his blade as Akaran acknowledged the samurai zombies. Their attacks were coordinated but lacking intelligence. As Akaran took down one of them, Akihiko sliced through the chakra blades with an identical attack of his own [ Samurai Saber Technique [ Bushi Ken no Jutsu ] | Rank S+ x2 ]. He then generated his own dust release kekkai tota around himself, creating a destructive armor [ Prime Formula: Armor of Deconstruction | Rank S+ ]. With his body protected, he had no issue with taking the samurai head-on. They approached him without much planning because he wrapped one in a bear hug and heard the sizzle of the samurai's skin as it was eaten up by the deconstructive armor. He then landed an easy backfist into the other samurai, who fell down with the momentum of his swing. From there, Akihiko had no issue planting a foot on the samurai's gut until it stopped convulsing underneath him. "Is it going to get more dangerous from here?" He asked, intentionally sounding bored.

▰ Prime Formula: Armor of Deconstruction | Rank S+ The user weaves several hand seals and creates a highly concentrated barrier around their self or someone else that they touch to put it on, acting like a second skin over all of their body, clothes, etc. Objects that leave contact with the user's body immediately lose the barrier's protection. This barrier has similar properties to that which usually contains the highly potent destructive power of the Dust Release. However, in this instance, the Dust Release's chakra is instead layered atop of the outside of this barrier. Anything within this barrier cannot be harmed by the Dust Release or other external threats. Meanwhile, anything on the outside that comes into contact with the barrier faces the raw disintegrative properties of the kekkei tota. Doing this protects against all but directly under their feet while they are on the ground (otherwise the surface under them would also be destroyed). Only an attack of equal strength can negate this defense. This barrier can be maintained for up to eight [8] posts before ending unless the cost is repaid to sustain it.

▱▰▱The moment Akihiko asked his question, the samurai that they cut down would slowly stand back up. Smoke was coming off their bodies as the wounds closed. Once they stood upright again they began screeching. The high-pitched screech was bizarre and ear-piercing. Akaran was disconcerted as he covered his ears in strain. Even more of the zombie samurai rose up from the snow once they finished screaming. The sound had washed over the quiet, snowy land and ultimately conjured more allies. There were now ten samurai in total who began running toward them. Akaran ran around in panic as they slashed their swords at him. "Oh no, how can we beat them if they can just come back to life?!" Akaran was no help as the gentle giant ran around in a panic with his hands on his head. "We're so screwed!" Akaran could not think of a way to deal with them and was of no use for the time being. Meanwhile, five of the samurai would slash even more waves of chakra toward Akihiko.

Akihiko hadn't really heard Akaran panic since they were visiting the oni's samurai father, and the civilians had attacked Akaran. It made his blood boil as he recalled the unjust event and he allowed something else from the past to come to the surface. He used the same triple self-korabo he had done back then, creating a spiralling earth [ Hellfire Whirlwind Skill [ Gouka Senpuu no Jutsu ] | Rank A / Earth Style Split [ Doryuu Katsu ] | Rank A / Violent Whirlwind [ Ressenpū ] | Rank A ]. As the ground churned underneath the undead, a fire-laced wind storm sliced into their bodies and burned them easily. It was so close to the past that Akihiko could almost see the civilians transposed over the images of the undead, and a dark laugh shook its way from Akihiko's breast as he took a few steps back to maximize the potency of his next technique.
He adjusted his grip on his katana before striking. Fog filled the area around him and blinded and stressed the undead before he struck with basic attacks [ Haunting Attack: Triple Slash [ Wasurerarenai Kōgeki: San no Kiri ] | Rank S+ | Spiritual ]. He followed it up by generating illusions of oni - those based off of the very clan Akaran hailed from - which dissipated into genjutsu on any undead that attacked them [ Haunting Attack: Demonic Ambush [ Wasurerarenai Kōgeki: Akuma Machibuse ] | Rank S+ | Spiritual ]. It was all buying him time so he may make the signature o-shape with his hands and disintegrate the incapacitated soldiers on a molecular level so they may not return [ ▰ Advanced Formula: Particle Beam | Rank A ].
He replaced his sword to its hilt and looked to Akaran. He wasn't in the mood to play with dead toys. The sooner they finished this necromancer or illusionist, the sooner the two of them could return to a more luxurious time. "Let's keep moving. We'll be better off evading them for the time being until we find the source; otherwise, we'll be wasting time."

1. [ Hellfire Whirlwind Skill [ Gouka Senpuu no Jutsu ] | Rank A / Earth Style Split [ Doryuu Katsu ] | Rank A / Violent Whirlwind [ Ressenpū ] | Rank A ] = S+ 2. ▰ Haunting Attack: Triple Slash [ Wasurerarenai Kōgeki: San no Kiri ] | Rank S+ | Spiritual The user channels chakra into their feet as a demonic fog rolls over a five foot area per rank of the technique, spreading to hide the user's chakra signature and causing blindness scaled to the technique as they vanish into the fog. This fog remains active for one post per rank and those within it are subject to mental stress tiered to the technique's rank. While within the fog, the user is able to launch three basic combat weapon attacks equal to the rank of this technique or lower by expending their defensive activation once per post. Agility bonuses are reduced by [1] stat point amount per rank of the technique within the fog. 3. ▰ Haunting Attack: Demonic Ambush [ Wasurerarenai Kōgeki: Akuma Machibuse ] | Rank S+ | Spiritual An advanced skill to be used after Haunting Attack: Triple Slash technique and must be used at the same rank the parent technique was. After the user creates the fog, they may utilize this technique from within it. For each rank of the Haunting Attack, the user may create an oni or tengu of their own design up to ten feet in height each that attack the target from whatever location they appear by absorbing the demonic fog. Each of these creatures are defeated with any ranked attack. However, when one is destroyed, a genjutsu of the parent technique's rank is able to be cast for no activation. In any genjutsu active, these creatures can remain visible if the user desires. 4. ▰ Advanced Formula: Particle Beam | Rank A The user clasps their hands together before forming a much larger sphere of disintegrating chakra than the Basic Formula. They then fire a massive beam of disintegrating chakra from the center of the sphere that disintegrates all in its path at the molecular level. The beam is also so bright that it inflicts third-tier blindness on enemies who look at it. The beam has a range of up to fifty feet. This is the final formula to master before moving onto the Fundamental Method.

▱▰▱Akaran continued running around like a capitated chicken while Akihiko disintegrated the enemy samurai zombies. He was unsettled when he heard his husband loose a laugh that showed off his best Disney villain impersonation. "Stop laughing like that! We're the heroes here." The silliness of this statement was lost on the earnest Akaran. If he knew anything about villains though, it is that they tended to sound like that.
He nodded at Akihiko's instructions and figured that they made sense. Akaran trudged through the snow with Akihiko as they approached the mouth of the forest. Suddenly, a group of fourteen lightly armored men with katanas dropped from the trees. They wore expensive and technologically advanced equipment that were completely foreign to the Land of Iron. Or at least that much was apparent to Akaran with their fancy gear and a katana-crossed crest on their cloaks and shoulders. One man with a heavily-groomed twirled mustache approached them. He was clearly highly elegant along with the rest of the group but he was also clearly a gangster as he flashed a smile with a golden tooth. His gleaming mustache was somewhat frozen with mustache oil and flakes of snow. The crest on their banner was famous in the Land of Rivers and would possibly be familiar to Akihiko. "You're the only one not wearing a helmet so you must be the leader." Akaran may have sounded sassy but it was a plain observation that he noticed from tropes on his many adventures with his partner. The man responded with his shark smile as the mercenaries surrounded them. "Right you are! I'm Daiji Shinzo, the Regional Manager of Enzanshi Zaishin, Incorporated. Enzanshi is the largest mercenary company from the Land of Rivers. We're so massive that we became the world's first mercenary corporation. Our sales figures have tripled in this quarter and I intend to keep it that way!" He then struck one of the three company-approved poses to intimidate Akaran and Akihiko. This was likely for naught before he returned to his regular posture. "Look, we're here on the shogun's orders to wipe out the person who is bringing these samurai back to life. We don't want any trouble here." Akaran tried to reason with them and hoped that they would just stand aside. These mercenaries were well-funded and seemed to mean business. "I'll have you know that a high-ryo client of Enzanshi, Inc. sent us here to do that exact same thing after they completed the proper consultation procedure!" Daiji huffed in response to Akaran and rattled off more corporatist jargon. Enzanshi, Inc. was an odd mixture of corporate micromanaging and contracted thugs all in one strange Land of Rivers bundle. "If you take our company's kill then it'll lead to a downturn in profit margins. On top of that, Zaishin is a brand new branch that I've obtained a mid-level managerial position in! If I'm forced to put my 401K into partial divestment then I'll be marginally ruined! The corporatist mercenary was being extremely melodramatic over such a small amount of money in the grand scheme of events. He looked away from Akaran and now to Akihiko and spoke directly. "And why do you look familiar?" Daiji asked of Akihiko as Akaran just watched with a confused expression.

Akihiko cocked a brow at Daiji Shinzo, familiar with the insignia and the formation of the men. He yawned theatrically as the man narrated his economic woes until the man turned to him. It was intriguing that Daiji didn't immediately recognize him. Akihiko supposed his resting face looked less murderous than it had before he'd met Akaran, and perhaps he'd put on a few pounds during his honeymoon, though even that seemed surprising given all of the... athleticism the two had performed. "Familiar? Tsk. Otouto," he condescended as he referred to the man like his own little brother, "I told you if we ever crossed paths again that I would make you regret it."
He supposed Akaran would favor both parties talking it out, but Akihiko wasn't interested in risking Akaran's new ambassador position, nor was he interested in failing to follow through on a previous threat. His hands were fast as he generated hand seals purely for the look of terror on the men's faces, as Akihiko didn't need them for his ninjutsu. And then fire was raining down and exploding into fire [ Pandemonium [ Daikonran ] | Rank S+ ]. Then, before the men would be able to evade well, he slammed his hands to the ground to create a giant chasm [ Chasm Creation [ Wareme Souzou ] | Rank A (two activations) ].
Quote:
1. ▰ Pandemonium [ Daikonran ] | Rank S+ A technique that is exponentially increased in strength depending on the amount of burning that has been applied to a battlefield within the topic and what is active at the time of use. The user creates four orbs of fire without the support of other techniques. These four orbs are approximately one foot in width and each explode with a tsunami of flames that expands in all directions for one hundred feet a piece after seeking out their targets for up to four posts without upkeep. These flames all inflict tier four burning and burns upon those in the area who are undefended. In addition, for each technique's burning effect that was active during this technique's activation, an additional orb is created that has explodes to cover an area of ten feet per rank of the technique the burning status was attached to. These orbs may be kept active and seeking targets beyond their three post limit by paying an upkeep of eighty chakra per post. 2. ▰ Chasm Creation [ Wareme Souzou ] | Rank A (two activations) The user places their hands upon the earth, causing a chasm that has an endless bottom to form that stretches fifty feet and is twenty feet wide. This chasm remains open so long as the user keeps their hands on the ground. Activations may be sacrificed to double the size of the chasm, requiring no upkeep cost.

▱▰▱When the ground began opening up under the corporatist's feet he suddenly sank. He stopped himself from falling to his death only by grabbing onto the ledge. "Otouto?! Listen here you little punk, Aki! I have vital recon on the guy you're after! Let me live and I'll make this quite the profitable venture for all of us!" Unfortunately, most of his comrades had fallen into the chasm. Akaran rubbed the back of his head in confusion at all that was going on. "I don't know, A-ki-hi-ko, if he can help us shouldn't we let him live?" Akaran hated needless death although he was not familiar with how disingenuous and scheming the mercenary-for-hire truly was. He looked over at Aki to figure out what to do next as Daiji held onto the side of the ledge for dear life. However, suddenly he slipped and fell into the chasm like a perfectly clumsy dumb a**. "Aw, there he goes." Akaran watched him fall to his death and sighed before walking around the opening in the earth. He could still hear the cavernous echoes of Daiji's screaming all the way to the bottom.
▱▰▱Akaran and Akihiko would walk deeper into the white forest. Fresh snow continued to fall and gleam, causing Akaran to wonder at the beauty of the area. He would stop to enjoy it and look at the frosty pine trees if not for the seriousness of their mission. They could not find the target in the forest until they got to the very back of the area and found a dark gorge. The normally pure, white snow was dark and ashy. Akaran saw disturbing piles of corpses and skeletons and dark scrolls as they approached. "Ah perfect, just when I needed living test subjects!" They would hear the voice before the figure came into view in the dark area. Dark thread-like tendrils filled the gorge and ultimately lead to a doll-like figure among the corpses. The smell of bodies was upsetting to Akaran as well as the generally macabre vibe of the gorge. This was yet another person who would seem familiar to Akihiko. Her name was Shinda and she was also from Gimangakure. She was a medical kunoichi and scientist albeit far less crazy than in her current form. Shinda's eyes grew wide when she saw Akihiko. "Akihiko?" She took a few moments of silence before smirking fiendishly. "A shame what happened to that Zenshin girl of yours...but now she's advancing my research...a part of my collection, you see." Shinda formed a tiger handseal and grabbed an edo tensei scroll before a coffin appeared. When the door collapsed the woman who was clearly the corpse of Akihiko's past lover and Hikaru's mother would step out. Shinda put the scroll in her body from her back and smoke came off her body and made her more life-like. Her threads continued snaking around the area as she spoke. "Oh how I love a reunion, but you wouldn't hurt your precious wifey, would you?" After Shinda asked her question, the corpse moaned in a zombie-like fashion now that the Edo Tensei was complete. "Aki, w-where's Hikaru? Where's our boy?" The woman seemed truly scared and lost as she was being controlled by the conjurer.

Akihiko felt no strong way about Daiji's descent, though he was glad Akaran was getting better about not dwelling on pointless things like that. But it allowed him to let his guard down, and the ex-mercenary was even feeling peaceful and nostalgic as they walked through the snowy forest. It reminded Akihiko of his youth, when he had to learn different tools of the trade to survive, but without the actual pressure of the real world breathing down his neck. Perhaps it only seemed serene to him because he was looking back at it, but he felt the solo training to get stronger and stealthier - before he had been more roughly thrusted into the dark underbelly of Gimangakure - had almost been fun, something adjacent to a normal childhood. Something parallel to it, because normal was never what he was meant to have.
The smell of death wafting over the relatively peaceful forest began to turn his stomach, influencing his nostalgic thoughts to feel darker than they had just a moment before. His face twisted as the snow turned dark. And then she arrived. He barely had the opportunity to look surprised before his gaze darkened at the mention of Keiko. He'd tried to think of anything to say back, but every new addition after Keiko's mention made the trepidation in his gut worse. And he hated the vindication that came from the bad gut feeling, because looking at Keiko's scared face was something he'd never expected to see the firecracker of a woman do.
"This genjutsu of yours is pretty ******** sick, Shinda." His fists shook by his side as his anger overtook him. He tried to be rational because it was beneath him to act uncontrollably, but there was nothing he could do at seeing Keiko like this. It wasn't fair. His past was never allowed to stay there, despite his best attempts to move forward without ties. He drew his blade and made the hand seal to release the illusion [ Kai ]. But when nothing around him changed, it felt like all the air in the world had been suddenly sucked out. He dropped his blade, doubling over and clutching at his chest as he tried to catch his breath. "Wh-what the hell? What the hell? This is fake. This is fake, this is fake, this is fake, it.... I'm having a nightmare. It isn't real."

▱▰▱Seems like A-ki knows everyone 'round here. Akaran thought with a sense of confusion as he stared at Shinda. However, Akaran looked genuinely hurt as he watched what happened next. There was a revived woman in front of them that cause Aki to wince in pain and experience emotional trauma. He empathized with his partner based on his own traumatic experiences but also purely because he hated to see Aki hurting in any way. When Aki sank to his knees, Aka's heart broke immediately and he began tearing up. He immediately wondered about what he could do to make this stop as Akihiko proved to himself that it was not a genjutsu. "Oh you can be sure that it's real, you mercenary scum. My powers of jutsu and science are beyond your comprehension. Don't you remember the love of my life that you took away from me? All just to make a stack of ryo. Now you get to see how it feels, b*****d." Shinda was referring to one of Aki's marks that she had deep feelings for. She was devastated by his loss despite the fact that the bounty was rather legitimate. Akaran became angered by her abusive words to his husband. As if puppeting her, Keiko would speak up on Shinda's command. "Hiko, please, I don't know where I am. Make this stop. I need to see Hikaru." She pleaded and whimpered as she was reduced to being Shinda's object of twisted revenge on Akihiko. "I managed to get her body before the morgue did. Little did I know that I'd ever see you again to actually use my experiment as I had planned." Shinda laughed and felt completely justified in her horrid actions defiling Akihiko's former partner and Hikaru's mother. Akaran was finally able to connect the dots on who this was and became even angrier. Suddenly, Keiko's mood would turn with a pat of her head by Shinda. She drew her katana as sonic chakra enveloped her form. "Give...me...my boy...back. I knew you'd be a worthless father and here you are! Proving me right! That's why I'd never let him meet his corrupt father. If he's met you then I'll just have to roll around in my grave forever!" Keiko was abusive as she tore Akihiko apart and Akaran was having none of it. Akaran's skin turned red as green sweat left every pore in his body. A massive wave of chakra left Akaran's body as he squared his stance between Shinda and Akihiko. "Stop it! Seventh Gate of Wonder! RELEASE!" The amount of energy leaving his body was felling trees in the surrounding forest as Shinda and Keiko tried to hold their ground. The ever-protective Akaran lost all sense of control as he shouted at the top of his lungs and felt the strength of an army flowing through his opened gates. "AGGGGGGGGGGH!" Akaran disappeared and reappeared in front of Shinda in the blink of an eye as fear crossed her face. She covered her body in chakra armor as he punched her in the stomach. Once his fist slammed into her he broke her entire rib cage even with the chakra protection. She soared into the air as Akaran began punching and disrupting the air around her with dozens of extremely painful punches. Meanwhile, Keiko avoided the blast by running at top speeds to attack Akihiko while Akaran did all that he could to kill Shinda. She was able to use attacks she otherwise could not have when she was alive as the edo tensei technique was making her far more powerful.
_______________ ❀Out Of Context❀ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Keiko's attack against Akihiko: ▰ Sonic Technique: Sonic Boom [ Sonikku no Jutsu: Sonikkubūmu ] | Rank S+ | Simple The ultimate sonic technique; this technique can only be used after twelve-speed release (not sonic) techniques have been used. The user's body stores half of chakra from each of the speed techniques they used as sonic chakra, capable of exceeding the sonic chakra pool cap until the battle is over. Now, by only using stamina, they are able to use the excess chakra from their body to land a single, devastating attack. This technique is strong enough to collapse several buildings, as it is all of the built-up kinetic energy the user has stored into one, final strike. The user's arm which they use the strike with is broken the moment they land this punch on something solid, if striking the air will literally cause a sonic boom wind parting clouds and tear into the ground leaving devastation in its path from the shockwave. If hitting a person they are sent flying six miles away minimally if they aren't grounded and inflicts deafness to the target for [5] posts. This technique can only be used once per fight. The user is able to maintain this technique for three posts in case it is dodged and no collision occurs if forsaking the use of the shockwave. The technique while simple in cost is treated as complex.
Technique Used: ▰ Evening Elephant | Rank S The user strikes the target, hurling them into the air while shattering bone at the point of impact and causing internal hemorrhaging. If this attack goes unevaded, the remainder of the strikes will be successful. As the target flies through the air, the user appears several feet from them and proceeds to deliver a single punch. The sheer force of this strike creates a beam of compressed air that measures roughly ten feet in width. The user then vanishes, appearing at various angles a total of five times to deliver a beam of compressed air like the first. After each is executed, they remain in place, seemingly holding the target in position as they are crushed from all angles by the attack. Those impacted by the attack lose all stat increases to endurance while having all their bones crushed under the weight of the attack. It is impossible for those who are hit with its full force to continue combat. This requires the user to be in the seventh gate minimally to execute the technique. Technique Active:

Anger overtook Akihiko's shocked stillness as Shinda continued speaking, insisting she knew things and that this was anything remotely fair or deserved. "You loved Lon'qu? Could've fooled me," he spoke against her resentment and anger. "Sure looked like he was just another play thing. Sure looked like you couldn't be bothered to give him the time of day. But yeah, okay, he's the love of your life? And you don't deserve any righteous punishment for all the loved ones you've taken? You've experimented on? I'm the only one who deserves some kind of divine judgement delivered by some bored, hideous nerd with a fixation on me?" He barked a laugh that was far from kind and retrieved his sword, though he wouldn't need it, because Akaran was releasing a gate in an incredible show of power and charging at Shinda directly.
Which brought Akihiko to Keiko, whose words he'd done his best to ignore, but which were creeping under his skin insidiously. He readied himself for her attack, her speed just as impressive as it'd always been. His mind should have been elsewhere, he had every reason in the world to wallow, but his own anger was righteous and it sharpened his focus on her. "You had no right to keep Hikaru from me," he insisted, his rage channeling his chakra outward to make approach difficult as he got into stance [ Maelstrom | Rank S | Spiritual ]. He brought his blade against her sonically charged attack, both of them cancelling out and creating a shockwave that pushed both of them twenty feet away from each other [ ▰ Disaster Wave | Rank S | Complex ]. "For what it's worth, it didn't work! Hikaru sought me out. He did, yeah," Akihiko said with a self-deprecating laugh, almost disbelieving it himself. He thought so lowly of himself as a father, as someone who for so long had never deserved a family... but he had gotten it, and he held it to it like nothing else on this planet. He raised his voice and bared his teeth at her. "And he loves me. You know that? He loves me. Imagine that. Imagine what would have happened if you had only sought me out, how quickly I'd have put the sword to rest to raise him. But you didn't.
"You've always cherished your freedom too much. You wouldn't have wanted to be tied down with me. I think you knew. I think you knew how badly I actually wanted a family and I think you knew that your 'fun little Hiko' would have changed. And I did. I'm raising Hikaru and he's..." Akihiko's voice quieted down. "He's happy with me. He loves me and Akaran. You would have robbed him of that, and for what? To get back at me?" His eyes were traitorously wet, but he didn't cry, looking at her. He felt contempt. In all of his built up emotion, in all the un-said things he never thought would become relevant again because Hikaru had said she was dead and that should have been the end of his bad feelings, it all blinded him from suspecting this was a trick from Shinda. He was headfirst into the story being weaved in front of him, and it forced his grip to tighten on his blade. He wanted revenge.
used:
▰ Disaster Wave | Rank S | Complex The user charges their blade with chakra as they prepare to devastate their foes. Swinging their sword a single time horizontally across their body they release this massive surge of chakra. The chakra flows like a wave over a one hundred foot area before the user. The chakra upturns and destroys anything not nailed down as it moves across the land like a tsunami. If the user has the water element, it may be applied to this technique, turning the wave of chakra into water and expanding it's range by fifty feet and leaving a ten foot deep pool of water in the topic for five posts.
▰ Maelstrom | Rank S | Spiritual The user exudes chakra from their entire body. This chakra creates a strong outward and constant pressure that makes approaching the user difficult. For four posts, those attacking the user must pay an additional B Rank amount of stamina to attack the user as it is nearly impossible to stand your ground while they are emitting this force from themselves.

▱▰▱As Akaran continued wailing on her he noticed that even as he broke her chakra armors that Shinda was practically indestructible. As they both landed on the ground with Akaran wrestling her and punching her viciously he noticed that no blood was coming out. Her entire body was made of string as Akaran was growing further irritated. He ripped open her torso which felt like tearing a rag doll before five hearts were revealed to him. He pierced each one with a bone extended from the center of his palm before ripping them out with his fists. He then picked up her body and threw her across the forest like a warrior champion. "AGGGGGGGGH!' Akaran shouted as he threw her away. However, the edo tensei did not dissipate as it normal would when the conjurer died. Akaran was furious at how she was torturing his husband so he ran after her to make sure she was dead from the fall.
▱▰▱Keiko's eyes flashed with rage and hatred as Akihiko had the nerve to stand up to her. She was continuing to be controlled by Shinda but her conjurer's control was waning as she was weakened by Akaran's attacks. "Your hands are stained by too much blood. Do you think I'd let my baby be held by a man who sells his honor so cheaply?" Keiko had hatred in her voice as she responded to Akihiko. However, her poisonous words were certainly coming from an outside source. "Hikaru's only gonna love you until he finds out how amoral and sick you are. I can't believe I was dumb enough to be with you." Keiko spoke in such a way to emphasize as many words to sting Akihiko as possible. She unsheathed her own katana at her hip and pointed it at Akihiko in return. Suddenly, however, the conviction and hatred left her eyes as she started fighting the influence. "N-no! I...I won't." She tried sheathing the sword and backing down as she was possessed. She was fighting for control over herself with her puppetmaster. "Hiko...I can't...stop myself." Keiko lost her grip over herself as she squeezed out those words. Shinda then forced her back into action as she swiftly ran toward Aki and swung her katana at him.

Akihiko scoffed. "See, you just never understood me. Honor is a worthless social construct - I have none to sell. I operate on my own personal principles, not anyone's idea of right and wrong. I'll teach Hikaru to make his own decisions, to never feel compelled to conform to bullshit. And you've killed far too many people to speak on the blood on my hands," he asserted as he adjusted his sword grip. What she said about Hikaru finding out how amoral he was and leaving him... well, it was one of Akihiko's greatest fears. He'd never tried to hide his morally neutral life philosophy, but it wasn't something he quite sat down with Hikaru to discuss, either.
His anger subsided as Keiko clearly began fighting herself. Her movements were shaky and disjointed, like someone was tugging marionette strings for the first time. It didn't take long to put two and two together. "Keiko," the swordsman said softly. "I don't know how to put your soul to rest. This jutsu is outside of my capabilities." He sheathed his blade as she approached. He slammed an open palm to the earth, creating a huge earthern dome around Keiko [ ▰ Clay Barrier Prison [ Kekkai Doroudomu ] | Rank A ]. He then put his two hands on the dome wall, draining chakra from her. "I won't leave you like this," Akihiko shouted from his side of the dome wall. "I'll put your soul to rest, one way or another. You... you don't deserve this, Keiko."
used:
▰ Clay Barrier Prison [ Kekkai Doroudomu ] | Rank A The user strikes the earth with their open palm, expelling chakra to form a forty foot dome to engulf the targeted area. This dome requires an S Rank amount of resources to break free. Additionally, the user is able to place their hands upon the side of this dome while it's victims are within it, drawing chakra from it's inhabitants equal to the rank of this technique. This chakra is used to automatically repair the dome while any excess may be granted to the user. Breaks in the wall are only created as large as the surface striking it despite the chakra applied, allowing it's A Rank chakra consumption to repair small holes before they may be monopolized. Finally, those within the dome have tier one petrification applied to them and continue to amass higher tiers every other post.

▱▰▱Keiko used sonic chakra to blast through the clay wall when she was countered by Akihiko. However, she stopped herself in her own tracks as she continued resisting the puppetmaster. While this was occurring, the heartless Jiongu sorceress stood up as Akaran soared toward her. He would land on her again and begin slamming his fists into her in rapid succession. Akaran did not understand this power of hers so he did the next best thing. If he could pulverize her with his fists and the power of the seventh gate then that would have to kill her, right? The ground beneath Akaran and Shinda was rupturing and cratering in as Akaran began reducing the threads of her body to ash. The heat that was coming off of Akaran's body was intense as even his own sweat evaporated. While Akaran was finishing her off, Keiko gained more control and let go of her weapon. She now slowly sauntered toward Akihiko as he extended a hand to rest on his cheek. "That...wasn't me talking." She spoke through labored breaths as she actively resisted the immense power of the edo tensei. "I'm sorry for what I've done. I hope you and Hikaru can have a fresh start. Tell him how much I love and miss him." The flesh of her hand and body began flaking off as disappearing with the wind as Akaran reduced her edo tensei conjurer to smithereens. Keiko started to cry as she leaned in to briefly kiss Akihiko's cheek. "I love you, Hiko." She said as she shut her eyes and faded away from Akihiko forever. Keiko sounded like she always did when they were together as the words left her dying lips. What remained of her left with the gale. Meanwhile, Akaran jumped so high that he was almost in the sky before landing in front of Akihiko and taking Keiko's place. He broke the ground under his feet as he landed with incredible force and allowed the gate to close. He collapsed into Aki's arms as he felt his muscles fracture. "I can't believe what she did with Hikaru's mom. She's evil. Are you okay?" Aka was serious in his resentment toward Shinda but also concerned for Aki's wellbeing.
