With a sigh Tsumi walked up to the temple his black hair and clock blowing around with the wind. "Looks like this is it.." He said with a sigh his swords jingling around his side and back. The second he opened the door he was attacked. A large samurai jumped out of the front room of the temple causing tsumi to take step back outside pulling out the blade he carried on his side to block the attack. "You wont get passed me ninja!" The samurai screamed as wind chakra surrounded his blade and he swung at tsumi.

In the last second Tsumi was able to dodge the blade but his cheek was cut by the wind chakra. With a smirk Tsumi looked at the Samurai, "Bad move..." He said as he garbed the sword that was sheathed on his back, swinging both of them in an X shape. Actually missing the samurai on purpose he runs past the samurai throwing a single kunai into the center of his neck while sheathing both his swords, before continuing into the temple not caring if the samurai was dead or just knocked.

As Tsumi continued into the Temple he found himself standing in front of two doors and a sign that read 'through one door is an empty room but through the other you will find yourself facing another attack' With a sigh tsumi looked at both doors before choosing the door on the left. As he opened the door he smiled it seamed he had chosen the empty room. but the smile was short lived because the second he walked into the room a ninja charged at him screaming "chidori!" as he thruster a fist surrounded by lightning at Tsumi's chest.

With a smile tsumi jumped into the air doing a front flip over the ninja's head kicking him in the back as he did so sending the ninja flying right into a wall. He then quickly preformed a few hand seals before charging lightning chakra all around him "Chidori Senbon" he said as the lightning began to form into thin needles which flew at the ninja paralyzing him shortly as tsumi continued through the next door.

Tsumi smiled as he found out the next room was empty. There was however statues of Phoenixes all over the room, and the door to the next room was locked and it was too thick to just brake down. With a sigh tsumi began looking all over the room until he found a note on one of the walls that read 'In order to get to the next room one must find the key which has been hidden inside a phoenix, but he must not brake any of them except for the phoenix with the key.' Again he sighed as he said "looks like this will be harder then i thought.."

Tsumi came up with an idea. "I know!" he whispered to himself as he sat in the middle of the room and began meditating allowing his lightning chakra to surround the room knowing that the stone statues wouldn't conduct electricity well unless the metal key was inside it. After about twenty minutes of meditating he opened his eyes to see one of the phoenix surrounded by lightning chakra. "Looks like i found the key.." He said as he clenched his fist and the lightning surrounding the phoenix caused it to explode leaving the key slightly charred sitting on the ground where the phoenix once was. With a smile tsumi picked up the key and headed to the door and unlocked it.

As you enter the next room you see the back of you opponent. Your are completly dumbfounded as your opponent turns around. "Hello young warrior....I will be your opponent." The voice came from a man who looked exactly like the newly appointed sannin Kazuki Shikimori. The man then moved into the stance that signified the use of the Shikimori style of taijutsu.
"Whats the matter young warrior? Are you afraid of your test?" Kazuki had said while chuckling.

Tsumi smiled when the man turned around. "Hello Kazuki... I take it your not help me get to the end of the temple are you?" he asked as some of the many seals covering his body began to glow. "Xzeno Seal 24: Useless" He tried to put Kazuki into a genjutsu where if it worked he would see the person he loved most being tortured and slowly killed. With a smirk he waited to see how it would affect kazuki, but he drew the sword that was on his side just in case.

You knotice that kazuki's eyes suddenly change to a bluish color before returning back to normal. "Hehe you think you can beat me with genjutsu Tsumi?" Suddenl kazuki dissapeared from sight as he appeared right in front of you attempting to hit you with a double handed smash.

Tsumi smiled, "I hoped i wouldn't be able to!" he said as he did a back flip to dodge the smash while kicking at Kazuki's chin at the same time. Once he landed he activated both the seals on his wrists and sent about 10 kunai and shuirken at Kazuki. At the same time he grabbed the hilt of the sword on his side and pulled it out of its sheath and charged at Kazuki while lightning began surrounding him then the lightning focused so it was just surrounding the blade. He then stabbed at Kazuki, hoping that the blade would come in contact with and part of his flesh because if it did it would paralyze him enough so Tsumi could escape to the next room.



Jutsu used:
Chidori Senbon
Kusanagi Sword: Chidori Katana

At the moment in which Tsumi executed the attempted kick to the chin kazuki stopped his attack midway so that he was capable of blocking the kick. In doing so kazuki used the opportunity to knee his opponent in the stomach sending him back several feet. Then once Kazuki knoticed the shuriken and kunai flying at him he did hand signs with one hand as he unseathed his own katana with the other. "Shikimori Style Ninjutsu: Meteor Dragon Assult!" Kazuki shouted as suddenly he stomped the ground causing the floor to crumble sending broken peices of the floor into the air that incinerated into burning dragon heads. The dragon heads then quickly flew out towards the projectiles meeting them midflight and causing mini explosions deflecting the attack. At the same time kazuki had pulled out Autumn's Edge just in enough time to parry Tsumi's blade. "Is this all you can do young warrior?" The fake kazuki smiled.

Tsumi smiled, kazuki seamed to be just as good if not better then he had when he last fought him. "Time to fight Kuragari!" he said as he sheathed the sword he was using and unsheathed the one on his back. After quickly releasing chakra into his blade it splint into different blades, one of pure black and one of pure white. He slashed them both in an X shape in the air releasing to stripes of sharp chakra at kazuki one black and one white.

Tsumi smiled as his eyes changed shape revealing the Yin Yang shape of the Darkness xzeno eyes in there third state. With a mere flick of his head all the shadows in the room lifted off the ground and flew at Kazuki sharpening into sharp blades as they flew through the air, even his own shadow had turned agents him. "Your move." he said with a smirk as he waited to see how he would dodge or block all the attacks comign from just about every direction.

Saying nothing the kazuki double jumped against the wall of the temple pulling off the scroll on his back as he executed hand signs. "Shikimori weapon summoning!!" He had shouted as two blades appeard in a cloud of smoke. Grabing hold of the blades The kazuki double focused his chakra into the blades causing them to glow a bluish color. "Shikimori kenjutsu art:Grand BLizzard!" Kazuki shouted as the immense amount of chakra caused the wind to pick up around the room as kazuki moved at incredible speeds dodging and parrying the attacks. After he was sure the barage was over with kazuki then rushed at Tsumi once again but this time dissapeared right when he was in front of him. Then several kazuki's appeared all around tsumi as kazuki executed the afterimage taijutsu technique. The multiple images of kazuki attacked Tsumi at once. The question is which is the real one.

Tsumi sighed 'I don't have time for this' he thought to himself, as Kazuki dispatched all his attacks. he quickly did hand seals before 3 shadow clones appeared around him. Just before kazuki attacked he replaced him self with one of the clones. As the real tsumi headed out the door to the next room, the two remaining clones preformed a series of hand seals causing a thick mist to surround the room

The clones smiled as the real tsumi made his escape while they did a set of hand seals and whispered something to themselves. Once they finished the hand seals 1024 (512 per clone) shurikens made of the shadows around them formed and flew at kazuki from all directions. At the same time the two clones dispersed do to using up there chakra laving the mist and shurikens for kazuki to deal with.

AS Tsumi continued to the next room he found himself in a maze made of pure fire. "well this is interesting..." He said tom himself as he took a left and began walking around. After a few minutes he found himself at the center of the maze surrounded by fire. "now what...?" he asked himself, as two ninja walked out of the flames shooting fire balls at him.

"What the hell!?" he screamed as he quickly put up a shield of shadows in front of his to block the fire. At the same time forming a sword made of pure darkness and charging at the ninja throwing the sword like a kunai and watching it shatter into thousands of senbon that struck the ninja in various area's of the body.

Tsumi smiled as he saw the two men drop to the floor dead as the flames that surrounded him slowly faded along with the rest of the maze revealing a door. "God this is getting to easy..." he said as he began walking towards the door. The out of the blue he couldn't walk or move anymore. "Shadow imitation jutsu" a voice behind him said. The next thing he relised his arm was moving agents his will and shuriken where flying at him "I hate the Nara" he spit out as the entire room went completely black and he jumped out of the way of the shuriken. "No light means no shadows." he said

Tsumi grinned as he unsheathed his sword and charged at the Nara. "You die now Nara!" he screamed as his sword split in two revealing its light counterpart which release a wave of pure light chakra at his foe. Completely caught of guard the Nara is blaster with the light chakra splitting him almost clean in half. "oups...didn't mean to kill him" he said with a shurg
