A cave that can only be acessed through an underwater passageway. Only a shinobi who can breathe underwater can get through the passageway, for it is too long for one to hold their breath.

Deep within the final chamber of the Crystal Cave, lies the body of the Mizukage Zane Hajime. His body now trapped inside for all eternity. Though he may seem dead, he is in a state of complete and total hibernation for the rest of time. His main body is encased in Hyoton ice no fire can melt, not even demon fire. This is because Zane's chakra is constantly being pumped to maintain the ice, so even if the fire starts, the ice will form once again, too fast for anything to get through. The crystals from the cave cover the outer layer, protecting him from any Lightning attacks. Wind can not cut through, and water is inneffective. The crystals and ice is too strong to break even from the punch of the strongest taijutsu master.

Hirose hovered in the air above the water he saw Zane land in. His guess was that Zane had been taken all the way to the bottom of the ocean, however deep that was, or there must be some kind of hidden tunnel or cave to which he went to. Either way, Hirose's obstacle was obvious. A fierce wind from nowhere sloshed the water below him in a wide circle. Then a powerful wind crashed down through the ocean water and created a large tornado directly beneath Hirose. The fierce winds of this tornado whipped the ocean water around so much that it created a sort of tunnel where the eye of the tornado stayed free of any water while puncturing down through water's depths. Hirose floated down as far as he could in that tornado and glanced around to see a undersea tunnel that could lead him up into the Crystal Caves. Hirose concentrated his wind chakra, building it up inside him. Then he exerted it all at once in another assassin's rush to blast him into through the tornado's wall and propel him through the water like a submarine.
He held his breath as long as he could and navigated his way through the tunnel until he saw an opening above. He rushed for it and gasped for air as his head bobbed in the water. He glanced around to see that he had made it inside the cave, and eyeing a nearby bank Hirose pulled himself up onto dry rock. Water gushed out of his hoodie and clothes while he continued to gasp for air. He wasn't the best swimmer. The tunnel had a little light from glowing crystals but Hirose generated a flame in his hand to provide more visability. Using this he patiently navigated around the maze-like tunnels of the cave. Eventually, he made it to what he guessed was the final chamber of the Crystal Cave. There, Hirose found what he was looking for. Zane stood still in a strange ice prison, its light blue color shining against Hirose's light.

Blade, knowing full well of the Crystal Cavern hidden beneath the frozen waters of the land of Snow pulled anchor. He looked at the compass and his map as he calculated Longitude and Lattitude. "Hmm...here's the spot, time to get a little wet..." Blade stated as he jumped into the water. He had made the journey once through and as he did so he swam through the frozen cold waters. Thankfully he would be fine, being exposed to the cold so often. Besides, he had internal help to keep him warm.
After going through the long and winding tunnel, Blade jumped out of the water, spotting Zane's body frozen in ice and guarded by the crystals. Though to his surprise there was another shinobi already there. Blade looked to the other side of the wall, as he saw something flash by, but it was nothing but an insect that caught his attention. "So...what brings you here?" Blade asked him curiously.

The hooded shinobi did not react or answer to Blade. In truth Hirose didn't know why had came. Curiosity perhaps, a want to be there if Zane was in trouble. Looking at his condition now, however, Hirose was guessing himself if Zane really wanted to be let out.

"You touch his body..." Blade stated as he unsheathed his blade..."And I will kill you..." he stated bluntly. "Now...get out..." Blade said as he pointed at the exit with his other hand.

Once again Hirose didn't look at Blade or say anything at all. However, the flame in Hirose's hand suddenly went out, creating almost pitch darkness within the room. A strange shifting sound echoed from where Hirose had been standing.

Blade grinned as he stood perfectly still. "You have no right to be here, let me ask you this? Do you honestly think he wants out? You saw him...he actually looks peaceful in there, so why would you want to do that. Besides, you have no right." Blade stated simply.

Out in the darkness the only sound that answered was of many needles hitting the ground. They echoed in the room around Blade. Then, in the unseen abbys a hand made of smoke rose from the ground and fired a near invisable rushing gust of wind at Blade. This attack was very difficult to spot in broad daylight, much less the dark cavern, and it moved so fast that if Blade was caught in its path he would suffer sword-like wounds across his body.

Blade grinned as he formed a single seal and in a puff of smoke, he replaced himself with a nearby crystal. He stood in the middle of the cave as he extended his sword towards Hirose. "I know where you are...I can track your every move. Nothing you do is hidden from me. So why do you insist on fighting? It's pointless...what are you going to do if you DO break him out? You're not even a mist shinobi so why do you even care."

The shadowy hand diappated into a whispy cloud of smoke. Just then two poisoned senbon needles threatened to shoot up from the ground underneath and impale Blade's feet from where he stood, pinning him to the ground.

Blade laughed once more as he gathered the information just in time to jump backwards as the senbons flew upwards. Thank god for that because that would have sucked...he thought as he looked over at Hirose. "Ah...so you're just like Zarud the Otokage. Hmm...if I remember correctly your smoke is very poisonous and toxic. So why don't you just envelop the entire area with it?" Blade asked him. "You know...you're pretty rude? Are you even friends with the Mizukage? Becasue if you were you'd know that when a person talks to you you'd at least have the courtesy to say something back."

A layer of smoke on the ground gathered and formed into Hirose, who just stood casually with his hands in his pockets. He glanced around the dark room, his face hidden underneath his skeleton-patterned hoodie. "....bugs." he growled. Now he understood how Blade had seen his needles coming. However, he also knew that if he was getting his information from the inhabitants within the cave then there was a momentary delay between information. Right now the bugs had probably deciphered the areas on the ground where his poison needles were but all he had to do was move them around, keep the direction they were coming from unpredictable, and the combined with the darkness of the cave hits were imminent. An explosion of wind erupted from behind Hirose, pushing him at an incredible speed as he zig-zagged from side to side and zoomed towards Blade as he drew a sword from his left hip. It glowed a dark red with his chakra and to blade this would only appear as a streak of red lightning as Hirose lunged at Blade, aiming to slice him in half from a vertical strike starting at Blade's shoulder and ending across his waist. Meanwhile at this time three poison senbon needles shot out of the ground from both of Blade's sides and aimed to strike him accordingly.

((Yay, your rpc figured it out ^_^))
The moment Blade saw the red lightning, Blade spat out a large firball from his mouth. Using his chakra Blade guided the fire to surround him completely in a cylinder. The fire stuck very close to him as it began to expand. Though Blade was not aware of the senbon strike in time, the fires of the jutsu blocked the attack. The swirling chakra picked up the senbons and eventually melted them away. Now Hirose would be going head first into a swirling tower of fire. And if somehow Hirose got through, he had his trump card waiting as he performed the seals to his next jutsu.
Katon: Hibashira no Jutsu (Fire Release: Blazing Column Technique) Description: A Katon with a power exceeding that of Katon Goukakyu, but not nearly as powerful as the Karyuu Endan, this technique can clear entire forests when used correctly. Creating a circular, burning tower by breathing out a large fireball at first (much like Katon Goukakyu) the person who uses this technique is able to guide it with their chakra. The tower, or column, itself ranges from 4-5m in height and possesses a radius of at most 2m. The user guides its path with chakra, but it is very limited. If at all, the user is only capable of leading the flaming tower in a general direction. This tower can last up to 3 minutes (2 posts) before its roaring destruction lets up.

With the speed of his slash, Blade would only see a flash of red appear out of the flames as Hirose continued his attack unharmed and uneffected by the opposing power the column gave off. There wouldn't be enough time for Blade to finish his handseals with the speed of the wind propelling Hirose body, and Blade would be highly unable to dodge nor block the attack in time.
((Alright this part has always been confusing for me. I attempt to attack you, but if the defense you put up against the attack is too weak does that mean my attempt to hit you succeeds?))
