Finally testing ones abilities (Zento V.S. Brink)

As brink would have been strolling through the forest of some unknown land the man would have come across a rather interesting area a long time ago, during his first ever appearance within the area the field was seemingly barren of life or forestry only that of dead trees and a weathered old bridge that seemed would be able to concave at any moment, however, as the man would arrive on the right side of the bridge his eyes would widen as he would look upon the sight before him. The trees that seemingly had been the signature of death for the man at the time would have been flourishing with the bright color of pink as the wind would carry an array of cherry blossoms through the air though not obscuring the vision for the man, it was as if with his new found life and purpose this forest itself had been brought back from the brinks of death itself flourishing just like the man standing five feet onto the long bridge , as the petals would glide through the air gracefully Brink would come back to his sense for he  wasn’t truly here just to admire the regrowth of this wonderful arena no he would have sent word to the Hokage that he was indeed looking to test out his new found skill and to see if truly they could form an alliance worth the ages, though it would be a test not only for the Hokage but rather truly one for the man himself as he would gaze down at his hands that had been used for seemingly so much destruction since his birth he wondered would today lead to the same inevitable reality that he had been leaving with for so long?

With this he would let out a deep breath as he would have walked a few more feet onto the bridge seemingly standing now ten yards into the bridge that would have been one hundred yards long and only wide enough for two people of brink’s stature to stand side by side while crossing in one direction, with one of his new found paths walking next to him known as Zhen two would be seemingly walking onto the railing in a quirky like fashion and then his path  Li would have been at the half way point under the bridge he would have gotten there before the rest of them or anyone else could have arrived as Brink would have scanned the area to see if any souls would have been in the vicinity though most would have used chakra sensory to be weary of bandits or other travelers of the like Brink found that sensing ones soul was a more interesting and fruitful endeavor for one couldn’t mask their true soul though one could mask their chakra level. Therefore, with Zhen on his left side, Xun would have been on the right of Zhen walking in tandem with them as well as Kan walking on Brinks left side these two being the ones on the beams of the bridge.

The clearing as to which they would do battle wasn’t that of a normal area of which one would challenge someone but rather one in active scenery with flush trees and a running clam river below the bridge with seemingly smooth rocks that lined its flooring with small fish finding their way headed down stream, the path known as Li would be sitting on a rock perfectly still the only thing making sounds from the path would be his breathing that would be a steady smooth in and out take of air as if in preparation for battle… Brink would have waited for the man to arrive only now twenty yards into the bridge he would await for his opponent and possible ally for this event to arrive as his face would be masked by his one – eyed specter, though his other attire would be that of a simple black shirt fitting tightly to his body, cargo pants that would seemingly be tucked within some black combat boots that he would be wear as well fitting snuggly onto his feet. His weapons of choice for this battle along with his paths would be a sword on his right hip known as yamato and on his back would be a spear known as chasteifol a rather interesting spear to say the least.

Therefore, with the nearest tree to the bridge being about thirty yards away and the bridge being elevated ten feet above the river, Li wouldn’t be able to be seen from any form of approach unless through the river, and the area they were in would be a wide land not truly being able to be described within just any amount of numbers allowing for a wonderful and vast amount of fun to be had within its confines, the nearest large structure would be that of a large boulder fifty yards down the river that seemingly would have taken at least S rank strength to hurl or potentially use though Brink took note of it just in case he would need it for later use. With this the man would now be standing his mind ready, his paths on alert as well has himself as he would await his opponent in hope for a rather interesting encounter…

Zento was sitting in the office of his chambers as one of the ANBU appeared before him. Zento would look up at the man with a paper in his hand. He would grab it and read the paper. It would seem that someone was challenging Zento. An alliance is what he asked for but before hand, he wished to notice how strong the Hokage of the Leaf was. Zento took a deep breath and set the paper on the side. Loading himself up with weapons and popping his neck. Zento stepped out of his office and informed the village of his leave. He needed to think of a plan. This area was in a neutral zone for them. Keeping it easy for them to not wage war or something. No one is 'invading' the other. All things that the Hokage needed to consider. The ANBU insisted that they would tag along but, Zento was informed to come alone so that is what he wished to do. Zento would walk out of the village in his long white robes and hat. The average attire for the Hokage to wear in the village. Underneath the robes was his normal clothes. The long dark green jacket and hat. His black combat boots.

Zento would put a cigarette in his mouth and light up the end. Taking a deep breath and exhaling a huge cloud of smoke. Zento would walk up straight. The very tall man watching the trees brush in the winds and keeping his eyes open for any sneak attacks. The wind was quite an uproar today. Making it very hard for him to hear what was around. Hopefully this wind would die down. Otherwise Zento's kunai would be worthless from the wind picking it up and brushing it aside. Letting out another huge cloud of smoke, Zento would keep going to the agreed area of the battle. Zento would see that the wind would stop. A blessing for him. Now his Kunai and other weapons will be of use. Zento would spit out the cigarette as the bridge would come into focus.

Zento could see three people on the bridge. Seems Zento's trust in the man was misplaced. So much for that one on one fight. Or maybe they are just guards. He wasn't too sure about it. Zento would reach for his pocket and pull out a pipe. A common smoking pipe really. Nothing special about it. He would tap inside the pipe and light it up. Taking in a deep breath and breathing out a thick cloud of smoke. His red eyes shining through the smoke as he looked at all of them. He would pop his neck and clear his throat. The man most likely knowing he was there. Zento was standing outside of the bridge. Away from them and five feet from the start of the bridge. He would then hold the pipe in his mouth and wait to see what would happen.

As he would feel the man come toward the battle ground brink would have a wonderful smirk on his face as he would draw his blade known as yamato putting it within his right hand letting it slowly drag against the wooden grain of the bridge as he would see the man approach finally within his sight he would let out a sigh and let his facial expression change to that of a cold blooded monster, his voice would be low but would carry to the man with no problems at all…”If you are wondering as to why there are three people accompanying me they are my puppet simple flesh that follow me and do my bidding, so don’t fret this is still a one on one endeavor.” His words would have been swift, in tandem with the man pulling out his pipe and using both his hands to fill it and light it giving him little options for attack if that would have been his intention. Brink would have been walking simultaneously with his paths as they would seemingly weirdly across the bridge beams as the only below would skip across the rocks quietly as possible across the underneath of the bridge. The sounds from his sword hitting across the beams of the bridge would provide a wonderful cover for his path underneath him now only roughly ten feet away from the man that was standing five feet away from the bridges beginning. The man would let out a slight sigh as he would use his path known as Li to teleport his path Kan to the location above Li and use its ability to cover the world in darkness within a fifty meter radius the playing field would be nothing but a black abyss no light would have been able to shine through this all seemingly would have happened at S rank speed as the man would disappear within the blackness of this new found world, his plans would start to unravel.

With the remaining two paths Xun and Zhen next to him Brink would swiftly sheath his blade as he would have jumped off the bridge in tandem his paths would have started their sprint toward the man, Brink would have softly landed at the very edge of the fifty meter radius of the doom now covering the area and would begin to use his sonic dribble, the sound that would echo through the doom concealing all sound becoming null the world would now be one giant blur to the man that was now fifty meters away from the man looking at him with clear vision, his paths would stop at the edit for the bridge standing to block his position and if need be absorb any attack that would come his way as he would charge his next attack with this the man would be completely guarded from the from and back with the wall of the sphere behind him and his paths covering in front of him he would only need to worry about his right, left, below and above him activating his tenrinissgan, this eye would give him the ability to see all around him in 360 degree manner, anticipate the man’s movements that he was battling and if need be cloak himself within a rather unique aura that would help him even further in this battle, with this he would await his opponents next moves all these actions would have happened in tandem all his paths have a clear vision within this dome and all his preparations would have seemingly been in order with this he would see indeed what this man would do to get out of the situation that he may have found himself within.

Zento would watch as it would appear it was still in a way a one on one. Zento popped his neck and get ready for the fight. Zento had very little to plan but, if there was three of them here already, there is a possibility to have more. Zento would look around for a bit and notice a shadow on the ground owned by no one. With the position of the sun, it would be above. Zento jumped back and looked up at what was above. (Judged by how the dome would be 50 meters and I was not in the dead center, I wouldn't need to run a full 50 meters) Another person. Zento would charge back more seeing a jutsu about to form. Zento would move faster at S ranked speed and throw a kunai into a tree with a wire attached to it Slamming into the tree and Zento pulling himself forward. Dropping some paper bombs behind him encase of any of the bodies to follow, They would explode. Escaping the dome before it would be completed. Zento would watch as the black dome finished and looked at it from the outside.

Zento would grab his pipe and take another hit. Letting out another cloud of smoke. That could have been bad if Zento was stuck in there. Zento would pop his neck and then toss a few shuriken at the dome as hard as he could from the outside. Seeing if it was even breakable. Zento wasn't all too big about the dome being there. But, He would keep his eyes open. He could hear a noise coming from the dome. Seems that the man was planning to make the area completely in his own favor and leave Zento in the dark. Quite literally. Zento would quickly back a bit more in his pipe and light a match. Taking a big breath and letting out a cloud of smoke. Zento needed to think of ways to take care of the dome. The man would most likely cancel the dome shortly. If he were to try again, Zento would have to just follow his steps again. Zento tugged on his wire to rip out the kunai from the tree and spin it around rapidly. He was ready for anything.
