These are the final chapters of the Village Hidden in the Wind these are the chapters that tell of the future and past. They are lessons for all and true stories of the people both great and small. These years pass by quickly but each second is no less important then the others. This is the story of how the village grows and becomes strong.
     Tal knelt down pulling a work table over what looked like the top of one of her book cases. Her daughters and son were with her husband so she knew she was safe for now she had to protect the secrets of this forge. Tal was dressed in her red sleeveless long coat that was adorned with large pockets with gold trim on them. On the back of the jacket was her family crest of a shuriken wrapped in cloth. She didn't wear anything under the jacket otherwise the fires she worked with would have been to hot. She had on a short loose fitting red skirt with a gold line at the base. On her feet were red ninja boots with matching gold trim. Her red hair was cut short to help keep it from catching on fire and also to use less time in the morning especially now that she had three kids. "Just one more to go," She stood up and quickly made her way over to a book case with seven shelves filled with brown books. She pushed a button on the back of it and it began to lower itself into the floor. Some thing large struck the wall just above Tal's head dust and brown chunks flew at her. She lifted her arm, "Clay?"
     A woman's voice spoke from a shadow in the door, "I am here for your books."
     Tal spun around throwing six shuriken at the figure causing it to jump back into the light giving Tal a good look at the woman, "You're not much."
The woman chuckled as she shook her head her short black hair barely moving as she did. The woman had dark green eyes and was not very tall she was a slender woman except for her larger chest. She was dressed in a loose fitting brown shirt with a black v cut collar and black cuffs around the wrists. She had on a loose fitting brown skirt with a black line up each side. On her feet were brown ninja boots with black lines on the sides on her right thigh was a small tool pouch. Her demon village head band was around her waist like a loose fitting felt that tilted to the left. "I could say the same about you."
     Tal growled a bit, "Who are you?"
     "I am Touki Bizen of the Hidden Demon Village and I am here for your books we want to start making our own weapons and yours are the best."
     Tal smiled, "I am glad you think so but you will never get them." She pushed a work station over the now disappeared book case. Tal charged the door grabbing a metal staff of the wall and swinging it at Touki to get her out of the way.
     Touki jumped back and as he foot touched the ground she made a tiger dog rat hand sign, "Ninja art Tile shuriken." She kicked the ground and seven large brown clay roof tiles shot out at Tal.
     Tal struck each of them with her staff shattering them before she turned around and pressed the top sides and bottom of her door frame. As she pulled her hand away the windows became blocked by thick metal panels and the door vanished as multiple layers of metal fell in from the frames. Tal smirked, "There we go now it is safe."
     Touki chuckled, "You think that little shield will save your shop we can break it down in no time."
     Tal stuck her staff into ground, "I don't think you will even get passed me."
"Oh I will for you see I am the most powerful shinobi from my clan for I am the only one who can use three different types of chakra."
     "That is impossible no person can use three the most is two."
     "That was what I thought to and it is true for most shinobi except the Uchiha but theirs is a copy technique. You see my clan is from the hidden stone village, we always work in pairs one person uses earth and water the other earth and fire. The earth and water person makes a thick clay mix while the fire and earth forms a hardened clay object out of that mix. That is how they attack working as a team me and my partner lost his life in the war and I was about to die when I was taken in by the demon village and given the blood. Once the blood was added to my system I was able to bring out my third dormant chakra which all my clan held. I found I could mix the clay and harden it into a more stable mix one that was used to build most of the village on the turtles back. My technique is one of a kind and will never loose in battle." She made a tiger dragon ox bird rabbit monkey hand sign, "Earth style clay bullets." She took a deep breath and blew out hundreds of tiny bullets shot towards Tal.
     Tal made a tiger rabbit monkey hand sign, "Ninja art hidden chains." She made a fist and pushed it forward fifteen chains launched from her sleeve some with weights on them some with spiked balls and some with sickles. The chains spun through the air smashing the bullets or knocking them into the earth.
Touki made a dragon ox boar hand sign, "Earth style clay wall." The ground in front of her shot up blocking the oncoming chains before it broke apart into large pots that were flung at Tal.
     Tal's chains vanished as she jumped out of the way of the pots drawing a kunai knife from her pocket she threw it straight up into the air. She made a tiger hand sign, "Ninja art needle rain." There was a puff of smoke in the sky before needles began to pour down over Touki.
     Touki made a boar ox monkey dog hand sign, "Earth style clay cover." The ground shot up and arced over Touki and struck the ground on the other side creating a small tunnel. The needles fell rapidly down onto the clay structure sticking into it but never passing through, "Nice try."
     Tal was still holding the tiger hand sign, "Thousand tool explosion." Every single needle on the ground and in the clay structure exploded ripping it apart and sending Touki into the ground. Tal smirked, "What was that again?"
     Touki got up dusting herself off, "Nice trick but this one is better." Touki was holding a boar hand sign, "Earth style covered pot." The earth around Tal shot up and formed a large pot and lid. Touki then switched to a tiger dragon monkey tiger hand sign, "Fire style fired kiln jutsu."
     Tal began to feel the inside of the pot increase in temperature slowly until it was too painful to touch the sides. Tal could take the heat due to her work in the forge but the lack of air flow was getting to her. Tal reached into her pocket and drew out two scrolls placing them on opposite sides of the pot.
     Touki chuckled outside, "Getting hot in there isn't it."
     Tal's voice spoke out loud, "summoning jutsu cannon arms." The pot suddenly crack and then split in two as Tal crouched down beneath two poles both as thick and twice as tall as her. Tal grabbed the two poles and spun them above her head before she slammed them into the ground the pillar they were on shook a bit, "That was close a few minutes longer and I would have been cooked." She looked at Touki, "I am sorry I didn't do this sooner." Tal reached into her pocket and put her ninja band around her forehead, "I will now fight you with all I have to offer."
     Touki grinned, "I wouldn't have it any other way." She made a dragon bird boar tiger rabbit horse hand sign, "Earth style thousand pot jutsu." She stomped the ground hard a thousand pots shot up from the earth between her and Tal all the pots were sealed. "Each pot is filled with something weather it is poison gas, acid, water or shuriken is all chance so I suggest you be careful."
     Tal tapped one of the pots with her foot and it exploded lucky it was just water inside, "I see so these are sensitive." Tal looked around her behind her was the forge and on all the other sides were pots. Tal then began to run up the side of her forge throwing three kunai knives at Touki who jumped away from them clay tiles shooting out from the ground towards Tal. Tal dodged them as she got on the roof of the forge she drew out eight shuriken with explosion scrolls attached to them and she through them into the earth the tags burning slowly as she ripped up a metal chunk from her roof to block what was coming next.
     Touki quickly noticed the wind was blowing at her and she created a large pot over her body just before the scrolls exploded. The acid shuriken water and poison smoke was blow away from the forge and straight towards Touki. Touki knew she had to wait for the air to clear before she could get out and she yelled to Tal, "Very clever using the wind and the way those scrolls explode to push my attack back at me."
     Tal yelled back, "Thanks but I almost didn't think of it I felt trapped for a few seconds time."
     Touki's pot broke and she ran towards Tal, jumping up onto the roof as she made a tiger boar ox rabbit monkey hand sign, "Earth style clay plate jutsu." From the palms of her hands hundreds of plates varying in size launched towards Tal.
     Tal made a tiger ox dragon bird rabbit rat hand sign, "Ninja art thousand tool blast." She pulled a scroll from her side pocket and as it fell open thousands of weapons from shuriken too swords launched out. The tools stuck the plates the plates smashed the tools vanished in puffs of smoke. Tal reached her hand in front of the scroll grabbing a thin sword with a large S shaped hand guard. She held the sword up and made a shadow clone hand sign, "Ninja art shadow clone jutsu." Thirty versions of Tal surrounded Touki each Tal then charged forward yelling, "Thirty points reverse star." They pulled the swords back and in unison stabbed at Touki.
     Touki had formed a barrier of clay around her self just in time then she let the clay barrier explode and send all the Tals away from her. Touki made a dragon boar monkey rat rabbit horse boar hand sign, "Ninja art large multi pot jutsu." Every single Tal vanished into a sealed pot that began to shrink. As the pots grew smaller the pots would begin to leak smoke as that version of Tal was destroyed. Touki watched as only one pot remained and she began to push all her chakra into squishing it. Touki felt something strike her head and the smash of a pot to her left. Touki went flying off the roofing watching Tal emerge from a broken pot as the one Touki concentrated on released a puff of smoke.
     Tal had let off a smoke bomb inside the pot to get Touki to ignore her while she got out. Tal ran to the edge of the roof and jumped off as Touki got back up on her feet. Tal made a tiger bird rabbit hand sign and pulled a scroll from her pocket the scroll burst into a cloud of smoke and Tal held a solid black metal sickle. The sickle had a metal chain on it with a spiked weight on the other end. Tal through the sickle at Touki who jumped out of the way Tal pulled it back to her hand and flung the weight this time. Touki dodge it but was struck in the side with the sickle. Tal pulled both back swinging both around her body, "This sickles chain is so long I can use both ends to attack." She flung both ends at Touki again.
     Touki jumped back and made a boar rabbit rat horse ox dragon tiger hand sign, "Earth style clay armor." The ground around Touki shot up creating a thick pair of gauntlets around her hand and up her forearm more clay covered her upper arm and created pointed shoulder pads. Her chest and back were became covered in a form fitting clay the demon village hand sign etched into it. A clay skirt hung down from her waist on her legs was thick clay guards her feet were covered with a pointed toe clay boot. The clay hardened quickly and became smooth and polished. She charged at Tal who flung the sickle and weight at her Touki just knocked them aside with her arms and hit Tal in the chest with her shoulder.
     Tal went flying backwards dropping her weapons as she got hit. Tal didn't have time to react as Touki grabbed her after the first bounce by the head and slammed her into the forge's wall. Touki then flung Tal through the air and into a tree. Tal coughed up a bit of blood as her back bent to the tree Tal's body suddenly vanished leaving behind a kunai knife. Tal fell down from the sky holding a black hatchet in her left hand the top of it curved inwards on the outer and inner sections. The brown handle was covered in a white cloth a ribbon of it hanging down, "You fell for it."
     Touki brought her arm up and blocked another swing of the hatchet before punching Tal in the stomach, "Won't win you any points this armor is unbreakable."
     Tal jumped back after being hit in the stomach and she threw the hatchet at Touki who knocked it aside. Tal pulled out three pieces of paper placing one in her mouth and one in each hand, "I want to introduce you to my special jutsu. This jutsu took me 3 years to perfect and now you will be the first to see it in action." The three scrolls began to glow as Tal focused her chakra into them, "Ninja art tool summoning." In Tal's right hand a jumonji yari appeared all three of its blades perfectly straight. In Tal's left hand appeared a hand drill then the scroll in her mouth sent out a red beam of light to surround jumonji yari and a blue light surrounded the drill. There was a sudden flash of light as the two items vanished the scroll in Tal's mouth was glowing purple. She took the scroll from her lips and made a tiger dragon ox monkey tiger dragon hand sign, "Ninja art tool forge." The scroll exploded and in Tal's hand was a new weapon it was a full metal pole like the jumonji yari but the tip had changed from a its normal cross shape. The middle tip had become a drill tip getting wider at the base. The other side points were flat and in the shape of a right angle triangle all the edges on it were sharpened. "That jutsu allows me to create new weapons in mid combat however this weapon only lasts one fight before it breaks."
     Touki smirked, "You think a new weapon will be able to beat my armor especially after I do this." She made a tiger hand sign and her armor grew small spikes on the shoulders shins and knuckles. He right arm grey a massive spike from the top of the forearm that hung well over her fist while her left arm formed a small shield.
     Tal charged at Touki who charged back at her Tal thrust her weapon at Touki who blocked it with her shield. As the tip of Tal's weapon touched Touki's shield Tal twisted it burying a bit into the clay and then taking a chunk off the shield. Tal smirked and kept the process up stabbing at various parts of Touki and twisting the spear no knock chunks out of it. Tal locked her weapon under the spike of Touki's right arm, "Never underestimate a weapon smith." She gave a hard jerk to the side and lifted Touki off her feet and then flipping her in mid air she slammed her to the ground.
     Touki slowly got up after she hit the ground her armor began to slowly heal itself all the chunks and cracks filled in. Her armor looked perfect once again, "You are the third person to see my armor regenerate like this and like them you will die." Touki yelled suddenly as felt Tal's weapon strike her and the armor flying from her body in pieces.
     Tal smiled, "Just as I thought."
     "How did you do that?"
     Tal pulled her weapon back and held it beside her, "Simple I struck the weak point on your armor. It is like fixing a weapon it is always weakest at the point where the new metal meets the old that is why I never repair the stuff I make I remake it from scratch. Your armor became weak when the new clay mixed with old clay around it they weren't from the same batch so it was different with weaker bonds through out." Tal tossed the weapon so it spun in air and drilled into a tree, "Now then lets stop this testing of each other and finish this fight."
     Touki nodded, "Fine then, you want to see my family's ultimate jutsu be my guest." She placed her hands in a boar hand sign as her chakra began to flow from her body and down into the earth. She then made a tiger dragon ox rabbit rat dragon ox boar monkey rat monkey bird dog horse snake monkey boar tiger dragon bird ox boar dragon boar ox horse snake dragon boar hand sign, "Ninja art tile dragon!" The ground at her feet suddenly became a swirling puddle of brown wet clay then from it erupted thousands of tiles. The tiles spun around Touki's body rising high up into the air before connecting with the one that was formed before it. The body of the dragon began to form taking the shape of a snakes body before four legs formed slowly then the dragon continued to form. The tail grew longer until it was pointed and finished with three spikes made out of tile the tile. The long neck began to form the head of the dragon starting with two long branch like horns. Followed by the head which held was shaped almost like a dog its top jaw had two large fangs that looked as if even if the dragon had its mouth open all the way the fangs would still touch the tips of the lower fangs. From its face grew two long whiskers and across the back along the spine flat spikes began to launch upwards. The dragon opened its front three clawed front leg and a ball took shape in it. The dragon was made form brown slightly red tiles each tile held Touki's name on it to show she was the craftsman of this great beast. "I want to introduce you to Tairu for my family to bring this dragon forward it takes four people but with demons blood feeding my chakra I can summon him alone."
     Tal pulled a scroll from her pocket and formed a tiger hand sign with the scroll between her fingers. The scroll began to glow a light blue before it erupted in black flames, "Hear my voice Kamikiwa." The scroll vanished in the flames as Tal lifted her right hand up in the air he chakra flowing straight up before something began to form in the spire of chakra. The tip of the blade formed the blade began to form after it the long blade slightly curved the whole length just under four feet. The tsuba of her blade was in the shape of a black four pointed shuriken wrapped in cloth at the inward points. The cloth sparkled in various shades of green, blue, red, orange and yellow. Wrapped around the black handle was the same cloth that hung down from the bottom of the sword in a long triangle shape. The end of the swords handle was capped with a black metal, Tal grabbed the handle and as she did the colors on the cloth began to swirl around and she brought it down in a long arc.
     Touki laughed, "You will face my dragon with a sword!"
     Tal shook her head, "Not just any sword this is my Kamikiwa the divine edge the perfect sword." She cut an s into the sky with he blade the wind could be seen splitting as she did, "This blade has a combination of seven metals one of them so rare and strong that it only makes up 1/100 of this sword but timed its sharpness and durability by an infinity. This sword will forever be my greatest creation."
     Touki made a dragon boar tiger hand sign and the dragon opened its mouth a roared loudly before it flew up into the air and came flying straight at Tal. Touki laughing even louder, "Your sword will shatter his scales and jaws are stronger then any material on this world."
     Tal ran forward holding the sword in both hands the cloth at the end of the handle flashing colors, "Lucky for me this metal is not from this world." The tip of the sword began to drag in the dirt slicing it to pieces Tal lifted the sword up and slid under the open mouth of the dragon thrusting her sword up into. Tal dug her feet in and pushed forward the sword reaching deep into the dragon, its tile scales being flung off in all directions. Tal could feel the chakra from inside the dragon being shot out it was a mixture of blue red and green all three striking the ground and blasting away any loose dirt and rocks. Tal twisted the sword and flung it sideways cutting through the dragon's hide and making it loose more chakra. Tal then leapt into the air landing on the dragon's tail she ran up it pushing her sword into its back right where her blade left earlier. She began to run up its back her blade shredding the dragon's scales as she came close to the neck she turned her sword to face the side and jumped off. Her sword slowed the fall until it burst out of the dragon and taking a large section of it with her.
Touki watched in horror as the dragon began to crumble the chakra that held it together creating a blanket over the pillar they fought on. As the chakra vanished in the wind she looked at Tal, "What have you done?!"
     Tal began to walk towards Touki the sword over her shoulders, "This blade is special the metal I told you about absorbs chakra. This sword has a high concentration of carbon and super flexible inner core. It has been folded to the point where there are over 100000 layers. It is my wish that my children and their children all create a weapon like this one that we create a series of weapons so great that all warriors will strive to even see it. I want each weapon to choose its own master to have its own spirit and life force."
     Touki began to move backwards, "To bad you will never see that day come for I am going to end your life." She made a boar dragon tiger ox hand sign, "Last resort clay tunnel trap." The ground in front of her shot up and began to form a giant clay tunnel around Tal.
     Tal smirked and waved the sword in a wide circle a stream of black chakra shot out of the blade and ripped apart the tunnel. "Did I forget to mention, besides collecting chakra this blade can unleash it at will." Tal had to thank Hiro for that skill she had engraved the kanji from the scroll he used into one of the folds and this allowed for a stronger technique. Tal lifted her sword up and then stabbed it through Touki's chest as Tal pulled the sword out of Touki and sighed watching a bit of clay pour out of the wound, "I guess you wore constant clay armor." Tal turned her head to the side and began to walk towards the bridge that led away from her forge. Tal stopped suddenly as a large group of demon village shinobi began to run across the bridge, "just my luck." There was a sudden dark cloud in the sky before it lowered and it could be seen that it was arrows. A number of the shinobi where hit and fell off the bridge Tal smirked as four male shinobi and one female shinobi landed in front of her. Tal patted each one on the shoulder, "I leave this to you."
     The five shinobi nodded and in unison spoke, "Yes Tal sensei."
One of the males with rings on his arms spoke, "Hotaru says sorry that is all she could do because she has to stay in command of all the archers."
     Tal smiled, "It will be enough now then I am off." Tal vanished leaving her former students to look after protection of the forge.

     Hiraku stood in the center of a group of fallen shinobi he had changed a lot since he graduated he was no longer considered the weakest in his family. He had earned a reputation as a skilled shinobi but even though a lot had happened with him he still was considered a child in the shadow of his father. His light brown hair was still short and messy mostly due to the constant wind blowing through it. His blue eyes were sharper yet held a kindness between his eyes and hair was his ninja band which he kept polished in respect for his former teacher. He wore a open long white coat that nearly touched the ground as he walked the jacket had a wind pattern on the cuffs of the sleeve and along the bottom of the jacket in red thread. He had on a loose fitting white shirt that was slightly open; on his legs were a pair of black three quarter pants. The pants and tool pouch he had on were held up by a white belt with a black buckle. He had on a pair of red ninja boots with a polished metal ring around the tops, "Pathetic."
     "Yeah but they do their job."
     Hiraku formed a barrier of wind around himself knocking away thirteen kunai knives and 12 shuriken. "Nice throw they would have hit any lesser shinobi."
A man appeared in front of Hiraku a smirk on his wide face the man wore a brown bucket hat the brim pulled down so it blocked the top half of his eyes. The man's black hair stuck out under the brim and it was easy to tell it was slightly long. The man had cold black eyes and slightly tanned skin showed he was no stranger to hard work. He had a grey trench coat on over a dirty yellow shirt and grey pants. The man wore blue ninja boots which were a stark contrast to his outfit, "I guess I shouldn't go easy on the idiot son of the Uindokage."
     Hiraku tossed three kunai knives at the man, "That name has long since passed."
     The man countered with three kunai knives that struck his sending all six to the ground helplessly. "I can see that now allow me to introduce my self I am Kano Hirano shinobi of the hidden demon village." A small glimmer of metal appeared under the brim of his hat he was hiding his ninja band. He looked Hiraku straight in the eyes as he spoke his next few words, "I have been looking forward to testing my family's kekkai genkai against yours they say ours are the greatest rivals for supremacy. But with the added bonus of demons blood in my system I think I will show that mine is much superior to yours."
     Hiraku smirked, "Well then let's not hold anything back." Hiraku charged towards Kano, Hiraku's wind formed a large spike over his right fist and he thrusts the spike at Kano.
     Kano steps to the side and strikes Hiraku in the side of his chest a puff of white smoke appeared as he did, "First hit mine."
Hiraku growled and looked at his side which had gotten hot after the attack noticing the cloth was wet as was the ground he once stood in he blinked, "Water....no wait steam."
     Kano clapped his hands, "Very good monkey child."
     Hiraku growled, "That is getting annoying?"
     "What is?"
     "You calling me stupid."
     Kano chuckled, "I will stop calling you that when you prove to me that you are not stupid."
     Hiraku charged at Kano again, "Then take this."
     Kano held both his hands up and a large pillar of steam shot out of them going straight towards Hiraku, "Idiot coming at me like an angry bull wont work." He watched as Hiraku created a blade and held it in front of him to split the stream of steam. Kano chuckled as the two split streams circled around and came straight at Hiraku's back, "I got you now."
     Hiraku smirked as the steam reached him it vanished leaving behind a small puddle, "I was hoping for that you see I was pulling in the cooled air from the lower sections of the pillar." Hiraku created a wind spike over his left fist and he punched at Kano.
     Kano jumped backwards, "Okay so you are not an idiot."
     Hiraku smiled, "I got my dad's powers and my mom's brains. I never was stupid I was just lazy that was until I got a tutor who made me work he told me to keep up the front though says it pays off in battle and he was right."
     Kano made a tiger dragon ox rabbit monkey horse hand sign, "Ninja art steam cannon." The ground beneath his feet lifted up and formed a tube he placed his hand on it as he did a large boulder shot out a cloud of steam followed. He continued to fire boulders at Hiraku to try and block his escape.
     Hiraku waved his right hand down from his shoulder and pointed the open palm in front of him sending the wind to form a large ramp that would make the boulders fly over him, "Not good enough." As the last boulder went over his head he charged forward a ball of wind swirling in his hands pushing both together he created two tornadoes one inside the other. Each tornado spun in a different direction from the one before what ever was pulled in was grinded into dust.
     Kano suddenly shot up into the air steam coming from his hands and feet, "Nice try but all you did was send me into the air the place I fight best in." He sent a large ball of steam down at Hiraku.
     Hiraku pulled out a scroll and jumped out of the way of the ball of steam he made a tiger hand sign with the scroll between his fingers, "wind village summoning." The scroll exploded in a cloud of smoke leaving behind a large metal snowboard with the wind village logo on the bottom. Hiraku jumped onto the board and took off flying towards Kano on a wave of wind, "I am also the aerial ace of my village."
     Kano stood in the air steam coming out of his feet he sent balls of steam from his hands toward Hiraku, "This should be an interesting fight then."
Hiraku weaved in and of the balls crouched down low on his board he held his hands behind him creating a blast of wind from them to speed himself up. He blasted by Kano who moved to the side his jacket getting by t he edge of Hiraku's board. Kano held both hands straight out in front of himself and blasted a pillar of steam at Hiraku. Hiraku spun around charging straight at the pillar lifting up a second before touching the front of the steam and rode it straight towards Kano. Kano launched spikes out of the steam out of his pillar that struck Hiraku and sent him spinning into the end of the pillar of steam that had whipped around to strike him. Hiraku yelled as he was burnt by the steam and sent flying towards the ground. Hiraku was in a spiral as he sent a blast of wind at the ground creating a small crater before he was flung upwards by the pressure and over Kano's head. Hiraku hit the top of his rise and turned the nose of his board down and dove straight down at Kano blasting wind behind him to increase the speed of his fall. Kano slid to the side as Hiraku came down the edge of his board cutting through Kano's sleeve the wind knocking Kano off balance he would then quickly move as Hiraku came back at him over and over. Kano never getting cut but his jacket was slowly falling apart.
     Kano yelled loudly and created a massive cloud of steam around him which kept Hiraku from entering, "You want to fight with speed. I will show you my speed." A streak flew out of the cloud of steam it flipped in the air and came down punching Hiraku. Kano was floating in the air two streams of steam coming out of his back, his jacket floating to the ground steam also coming from his feet he smiled, "This is my true aerial skill." He spun around so Hiraku could see he had two metal tubes hanging on his back by two straps over each of his shoulders one around his waist and two around his waist. "I send super high pressure steam into this thing on my back it then channels it through two pipes that slowly get smaller creating even higher pressure and then I am propelled forward. The speeds I reach like this is ten times as fast as I moved before now let's see who is the true aerial ace."
     Kano took off and made a full circle around Hiraku before he charged at him full force steam coming from his back and feet. Kano made a fist that was covered in large fist shaped cloud of steam. Hiraku dropped down and doing a flip the bottom of his board struck Kano in the chin and sending him up into the air. Kano straightened out again and took off on another circle this time Hiraku was following him. Kano sent a ball of steam at Hiraku who dodged it increasing his speed and weaving in and out of the balls of steam Kano was sending back at him. Hiraku pulled up for a second and then went into a slight dive to increase his speed more closing the gap slowly. Kano dove down between the pillars and began to weave in and out of them. Hiraku began to weave in and out of the pillars the opposite way of Kano to avoid the traps he might have left. Kano flipped onto his back as he came to a large opening, "Steam shuriken." He through back a massive amount of puffs of steam shaped like shuriken.
     Hiraku smirked pulling in the cool air he sent the breeze through the wall of steam shuriken. The steam shuriken vanished but over half of them had real shuriken in side making Hiraku stop in mid flight his board up and use it as a shield. Any shuriken that struck his board was swallowed into it. The board broke the shuriken down sorted through the metals in it and spat out the impurities in small balls. "Like my board it absorbs all metal and then takes it best qualities and flings out what it cannot use to feed itself." Hiraku began to charge at Kano again who growled and took off pulling up and moving in and out of the houses on one of the pillars.
     Kano dove down the edge of the pillar he was just flying through showering steam upon the shinobi below. Kano followed quickly creating a razor of wind behind him to kill those of the demon village. He dropped down in a slight dive the allowed him to get full speed over a greater distance. Kano looked up and saw Hiraku was now right above him growling he rolled onto his back and sent a giant open palm, "ninja art steam palm trap." The hand struck the bottom of Hiraku's board and squeezed tightly the board vanishing in a puff of smoke as Hiraku went flying through the air.
     Hiraku was flipping through the air as he drew a scroll and made a tiger hand sign with the scroll between his fingers, "Wind's summon." The scroll vanished into a cloud of smoke Hiraku grabbing a new board and placing it on his feet a second later. The board was silver like his other one only this time instead of the wind village logo there was the kanji for the words ‘may the wind forever guide me and bring me home again.' The kanji was written along each edge and in the center was the three kanji for wind one red one white and one yellow. "You may have taken village out but wind is always ready to go and he is much faster." Hiraku charged forward his body vanishing and appear to the side as if he was moving up and down the side of a half pipe. His body vanished one final time before his arm connected with Kano's body and sent him flying into a pillar.
     Kano was able to create a pillow of steam to cushion the hit and then push off of flying straight at Hiraku with full speed, "I am going to get you."
     Hiraku smirked, "Just try and catch me." He took off a blast of wind leaving each of his hands as he shot straight towards a pillar. He turned to the right of it Kano following behind increasing his flow of steam to speed himself up. "This is the course I race anybody who can use a flight style jutsu on just follow the yellow arrows if you fall to be far behind."
     "This is nothing I rule the course at my village as well as other villages I visited."
     Hiraku dove down in front of a pillar spiraling around it before pulling up and flying over another pillar. He lifted up higher flipping over the village library sending a blast of wind that knocked the demon village shinobi off the pillar. Kano followed close behind attacking the shinobi of the wind village before diving down in a spiral to follow Hiraku. Hiraku pulled up and began to rise slowly following the path waiting for Kano to burst past him. Kano laughed as he began to go around the largest pillar in the village he looked to his side in surprise to see Hiraku catching up to him and passing him at a speed to high for this section. Hiraku stuck his tongue out at Kano before he let go of a rope and grabbed another that was suspended between the two pillars. This second pillar was small only used to hold up the bridges Hiraku holding the rope made a quick 180 around it Kano chasing after him noticing a small hole in the pillar they were charging into. The hole was painted yellow and had arrows all the way around it. Hiraku let go of his rope and charged the hole as he got within a foot of the hole he dropped down flat on his board and hugged it. His body spun as it flew through the hole before he popped out the other side and standing back up he made a circle watching Kano move through it. "Now then let's get back to the fight."
     Kano looked at Hiraku following him, "You mean that was the course?"
     "Well only about a fifth of it the whole thing would take us about 15 minutes to run." Hiraku took off again firing a blade of wind at Kano who blocked with a blade of steam and took on the chase. Hiraku began to weave in and out of a series of smaller tighter pillars. Above them were homes built half on and half off the pillars some even completely off this was a good area to live if you didn't have children. Hiraku pulled out of this section and began to weave back and forth in a line of pillars Kano going the opposite way the only time the attacked is when their paths crossed at. At that time they would exchange punches or small attacks neither giving the other the chance to get a fatal blow.
     During an exchange Kano growled, "We are back to this now."
     Hiraku nodded, "Yep" They hit an odd shaped pillar next this on was wider on one side the other more flat. Hiraku was going over the flat side and as soon as he lost sight of Kano Hiraku pushed out to one side and then in one long slow flip he went over the buildings on the pillar. As he was coming down he gripped the edge of his board and spun stopping just in time to dive down straight at Kano. Kano noticed the shadow a second before Hiraku would hit him this only gave him the chance to roll to the side and only get cut not killed.
     Kano yelled in pain but his steam soon created a large bandage over it turning red as it held the blood in, "Very smart to bad you dove in with sun at your back." He held up his arms sending a ten long thin streams of steam out at Hiraku each one would snap at him as he dodged it in the air. He rolled between them knocking some away with a kunai knife as he tried to move closer. Kano through out ten kunai knives and caught each one of them in his steam, "Spiked steam whips."
     Hiraku began to dodged them quicker when he brought his board up to swallow the kunai knives Kano sent them around the board making Hiraku fall a bit. Hiraku began to make large circles jumping and ducking around the whips of steam before pulling up quickly he dove down through the center of the circle he created. "Wind style cross wind bullet," As he passed through what was his circle he became engulfed in a pointed swirling slicing wind. He dove straight at the water the bullet growing larger until he stopped suddenly the bullet flying into the water and sending up a giant pillar of water.
     Kano watched as the pillar swallowed up his steam whips and made them vanish looking around he soon found him self beginning to fall out of the air, "What is going on?"
     Hiraku smirked circling the slowly falling Kano, "Simple I cooled the air all around us with that last attack. That means as soon as your steam comes up the other particles in the air take its warmth making it nothing but a slightly warm mist. You thought I didn't notice that besides the pressure you need the heat to push off of. Right now all you can do is slow your descent into a thicker mist caused by the waves hitting the rocks." Hiraku pulled away, "Don't worry I will not let you feel the pain of getting crushed against the rocks over and over I will end your life before you touch the water." He whipped around sticking both hands out palms down flat he charged at Kano the air wrapping around his hand and forming long thin blades. He passed by Kano who coughed up blood before falling to the ground blood coming out of his sides and chest. Hiraku had his arms crossed in front of him the blood of the man rising up and the blades as if being carried on a saw, "That was my special move the wind saw painless and guarantees a cut even if it just brushes against you." Hiraku turned around as he heard the splash from Kano's body he then took off to go help protect the school grounds.
