Welcome to Gaia! ::

((rofl there's no way that would happen. I'm the only Hashi kid left so if u happened to find a Hashi ninja (which is practically impossible) he'd be a Jounin lol. But we're just doin this for fun so f it XD Oh yeah I changed my name to Hayate so use Hayate k even though I used Eriito earlier in this episode))

Hayate looks at Shin, "I'm a vampire as you can tell. My master... his name is Ouja Chishio. He's the Vampire King. I think he's testing my limits to see what I can really do. I know what he's up to. He wants to absorb everyone's kekkei genkai, but he only gets 1 chance to absorb it. So he probably wants to make sure that I've maxed out Issekigan before he tries to absorb it... Level 15 *was* the highest but then I showed up with Level 16. He thinks there could be an even higher level which is why he hasn't killed me and absorbed Issekigan yet." Hayate turns away from Shin, "I don't want to fight you. Waste of time. I need to kill Ouja before he absorbs my clan's bloodline. The only reason anyone in my clan is still alive is because of me. As soon as he saw that I had level 16 he stopped trying to kill us. It seems you have a high form of your kekkei genkai. I'd recommend staying the hell away from me if you don't want Ouja locking on to you. He doesn't seem to have your kekkei genkai yet. He's mostly focused on me... so basically once he's taken my blood... He'll be looking for a new addition to his collection."

Hayate thinks for a second, "He can find a way. I'm guessing your blood turns into fire because of your demon. He can just remove the demon from you so he can absorb your kekkei genkai. Anyway why would you want to help me? Well, I guess I could use all the help I can get." Hayate falls to the ground and hears Ouja in his head, [You planning something against me? Hehe it doesn't matter who you ally with. You can't stop me.] Hayate punches the ground, [I won't let you...] Ouja cuts in, [It's not like you have a choice. So far it seems your bloodline has reached it's limit...] Hayate snickers, [We are the Hashi clan. We have no limit.] Ouja smiles, [Really? Hmm... we'll see. Oh yeah thanks for that information I would have never thought of it.] Hayate is confused, [Thought of what?] Ouja replies, [About the demon. Removing the demon from him. Maybe I could be the next vessel of Demon Dragons... Anyway, I was thinking about taking the Himora's blood but I'm still waiting for yours.] Hayate was about to say something but Ouja kept going, [It's fun to watch you guys try to stop me. I like to watch the cattle fidget around a bit before I go in for the kill. Haha. Later.] Hayate gets back up trying to come up with a plan but is helpless. Then he starts talking to himself because he noticed something, "Why hasn't he taken the Himora's blood yet? I mean if he wants to wait on mine he could just go and take someone else's... there's got to be some bloodlines he hasn't absorbed yet that are still around. There must be a catch..."

"My plan? lol it took me a couple of seconds to figure that out. It's not really my plan. Your blood turns into fire because of the dragons. Also your blood is not fire. You blood is blood until it bursts into flames when it comes into contact with air. I've noticed that. Demons can't permanently change your blood. That'd be considered a kekkei genkai if they did that and demons don't exactly give kekkei genkai... except in my case but I still don't know how that works... When you die, the demon leaves your body intact, but dead. Even if your demon changed your blood for you somehow Ouja could still find a way around it. The only way to truly hide a kekkei genkai is by disintegrating the body that it's from." Hayate starts walking away, "I'm going to work on a way to take down Ouja. I have a last resort option but I don't want to suicide unless there's no other choice." Hayate is both thankful and worried, [It's a good thing Kousha taught me Seito Yakedo. The only problem is... I think he already used it on Ouja. If that's true then he can just survive it again. Too bad Kousha isn't around he could probably find a way to kill Ouja real fast.] Hayate laughs and tells Shin, "Whatever you do, don't let him turn you. If he does... you're basically screwed." Hayate is looking at his hand, "I may have to kill myself somehow so that he can't take my bloodline. Heh, I don't know how I'd kill myself though since I'm a vampire. Maybe if I strap a bunch of dynamite on myself? But then pieces of me could fly around and live from the blast hehehe."

"Your blood carries oxygen but that doesn't necessarily mean it is in direct contact with it. If your blood was always fire then you wouldn't be able to breath let alone live. The human body cannot operate or live without oxygen. This is a fact because vampires have been disabled by suffocation. They still lived without oxygen but they are forced to "sleep" until they get oxygen. If your blood was fire then you wouldn't have any oxygen in your body. A technique that needs your blood? Your contradicting yourself. You just said your blood is fire therefore you can't use it, so you say. I can go on all day of ways Ouja can copy your kekkei genkai but I'd be wasting my time." Hayate is a little confused, "Why do you want to meet me tomorrow?"

Hayate is in training with Tahei in the forest north of Higakure, "Tahei..." Tahei locks his defense with Hayate's strike, "What?" Hayate asks him, "Do you know anything about the Chishio clan?" Tahei steps away, "Don't worry Hayate I'm not going to..." Hayate cuts in, "I know why he really wants Issekigan." Tahei smirks, "Of course, it's obvious he wants it because of how powerful it is." Hayate argues, "Not just that. He might be able to do something else if he gets it." Tahei laughs, "What?" Hayate doesn't want to believe it, "I think he'll be able to copy kekkei genkai with Issekigan." Tahei laughs loudly, "Come on Hayate your not going insane are you? Issekigan can't do that." Hayate replies, "But, Issekigan picks up everything." Tahei doesn't see where he's going with this, "Well duh. That's common knowledge." Hayate keeps going, "Ouja will use it to analyze a person's DNA to copy their kekkei genkai." There's silence for a while. After some thinking Tahei asks, "What made you come to that conclusion?" Hayate tries to tell him, "I know how his kekkei genkai works... well not exactly but I can feel it. He's so obsessed with kekkei genkai I can feel what it feels like when he takes them. It's like... he's got copying kekkei genkai burned into his memory... I've been analyzing that memory for a while and I realized that what we know isn't exactly right. He doesn't drink blood to copy a kekkei genkai. When he drinks blood, his body "reads" the DNA so that his kekkei genkai can change his DNA which is how vampires can copy kekkei genkai. Their kekkei genkai doesn't let them copy kekkei genkai... more specifically, it allows them to manipulate their own DNA." Tahei is awe struck by this then becomes calm again, "You really are an analyzer." Hayate is baffled, "WHAT??? I'm an analyzer?? What does that matter? Were you paying attention to what I was saying..." Tahei assures him, "Yeah I'm not deaf. Well right now I am but that's besides the point. In our clan, 'analyzers' are considered the elite. They don't *need* Issekigan to analyze something. Issekigan is truly a tool to them." Hayate is getting impatient that Tahei isn't focused on the info he just found out. Tahei sits down, "If their kekkei genkai allows them to manipulate their own DNA, then why do they need to drain the target of all blood in order to gain the full kekkei genkai. The amount of blood they take determines how well the kekkei genkai is copied and how stong it is when it is copied." Hayate thought it was obvious, "They need blood to survive. So their body consumes the blood before their body can read all the DNA. So they require all the blood in the person's body so that their body can read all the DNA before the blood is consumed." Tahei nods and Hayate continues, "If he gets Issekigan he doesn't need to drink blood anymore he can just look at the person, read their DNA and use his kekkei genkai to..." Tahei gets it, "Yeah yeah I get it okay." Tahei tries not feel depressed, "How sure are you?" Hayate doesn't want to admit it, "The only reason I haven't completely believed in the theory yet is because I don't want to." Tahei understands, "That's why he's waiting for you instead of going after some other kekkei genkai first. It'll make it easier for him to steal kekkei genkai after he gets yours." He sighs, "You got any ideas of how we're going to stop him?" Hayate laughs hysterically, "Stop him?" Tahei gets serious, "We have to stop him now, before he gets Issekigan. Since he can control you there's no way someone can kill you. He'll stop you if you try to kill yourself and he'll stop anyone who tries to kill you. There are two options... well one." Hayate grins, "Suicide?" Tahei says, "Yeah. When I find the other Hashi, I'm sure every one of them is willing to go on a Suicide with us..." Hayate asks, "You think the Hashi clan is strong enough?" Tahei looks at the ground, "Not alone. Not against a ninja like Ouja. It will be impossible without much more help. He'll outlast all of us due to his stamina. If we had more stamina, we could win. The best way we can do this is if we get enough people to take on Ouja. We got to tire him down if we're going to win."

Tahei looks up at Shin's army of clones and the sunlight flashes across his sunglasses, "Cool." Hayate uses Issekigan to analyze how much chakra he has and sees that his body is full of it still. "Wtf? Holy..." Hayate can't believe how much chakra this guy has, "Your demon gives you *that* much chakra?" Tahei smirks, "Yeah. The Twenty Tailed Twins. Very dangerous dragons. They used to be the same dragon. Some say it split the element of fire itself into two, forming light and darkness. Of course that's bull because light and dark are completely different elements of their own. You can't split an element and get a new one, it's just the same element but smaller. Apparently they can emit Keiton and Kageton even though they're only supposed to use Katon." Tahei raises his arm, "Inefficient use of chakra." He snaps his fingers causing the trees to explode and take out his clones. Shin easily deflected the splinters away from himself and Tahei said, "Well I caught you off guard but it still proves my point. You... might have enough chakra but we gotta find a way to use it correctly so it actually costs Ouja energy. I used a minimal amount of energy to take down the shadow clones. Shadow clones become less effective as their numbers get larger. It gets easier to hit them especially since they're grouped together." Tahei stops, "Well it's good news that you have that much chakra but... what are you doing here?" Hayate tells Shin, "If you want to help us then we need to reverse engineer you so that we know what you are capable of. Tahei will completely test and analyze all of your skills to come up with a plan. Don't worry, when Tahei fights you he won't kill you." Tahei adds, "Even if that happened, which it won't, I have a backup plan to bring you back." Hayate looked at him, "Bring him back? What you can bring people back to life too???" He's both excited and freaked out. Tahei tries to hold back his laugh, "You're not that gullible are you? Come on I'm not *that* good. I mean, I know a way to bring him back. Not that I can bring him back myself."

Tahei quickly throws kunai to cut the wires. Shin's spinning daggers fly off at Tahei. He doesn't move and the daggers fly right at him. He looks up then the daggers hit and bounce off his bullet resistant sunglasses. He has a solemn look on his face, "I am able to kill people with minimal force. I had no idea my brother had knowledge of Tenshiki. He knew all the atten and chizushi, which allowed him to kill people with minimal force. Since I now have my brother's knowledge I have that skill." He appears in front of Shin and starts rapidly striking at him then Shin defends against all the strikes. Tahei stops striking and bows. Shin falls to the ground and clutches his chest then Tahei tells him, "It's difficult to defend against Tenshiki. I struck your atten while you were blocking. I used a chizushi known to cause heart attacks." He kicked Shin to stop his heart attack, "You cannot heal from these kind of attacks because there is nothing to heal. Well, your taijutsu is pretty good I noticed you defended against all of my strikes. Now, I need you to attack rapidly. You mustn't give Ouja a break. We'll have to constantly attack him if we want to tire him down. Hayate get out of the way." Hayate was focused on something else and didn't realize how close he was to the fight so jumped out of the way. Tahei looks serious and takes the Hitoro stance, "Hit me with everything you've got." Hayate laughs, "Order him to suicide." Tahei throws a kunai at Hayate but he dodges it, "That's not funny."
