*saruka was already too deep in the bushes to hear them*

Roxl runs to where Ruka is.

*saruka sees what was stalking them, it was a giant bear, it felt like a demon presence, he knew this might be a tough fight*

Roxl looks at the beast. "Eh, doesnt look that tough,"

"maybe a little..."
*saruka draws out his sword*

Roxl throws a kunai at it, but it has no effect.

"dammit"
*saruka slashes at it, but it blocks with it's claws, then it slashes at him with his other claws*

Sky sits staring into the bushes. "You think they'll be okay?"

"Yeah, there strong ninja's."

Roxl pushes Ruka out of the way and stabs the creature with his sword. It seemed not to care. "Is this thing immortal?"

"no,it's just a demon"

Well it wont die!

Sky keeps looking at the bushes. "I know, but this thing is..." Sky sighs, "You're right, I shouldn't worry."

Roxl uses magma wall, burning down the bushes, and the bear. But the bear isnt effected.

*sauka's sword grows longer and becomes lighter*
"now it will"
*saruka dissapers and suddenly the bear yowls in pain, shaking the entire forest*

Cloud look at the burned up bush and the bear.
"Sky either we should run or jump in, your pick."

Did ya kill it?

"Um, I don't know, I've never fought a bear, you can fight if you like though. I'll be fine."

"no..."
*saruka's sword starts glowing red, then the bear catches on fire, but it just stands there*

Roxl looks at the bear. "Well, i cant do anything..."

"Okay Sky, stay here."
Cloud dashes at the bear and slashes it.
A drip of blood comes out but nothing more.

"can you protect me for a few seconds?"
*saruka starts doing rapid handsigns*

"Got it."
Cloud starts slashing the bear and stabbing it only doing little damage.

*saruka finishes his jutsu*
"stand back"


*saruka uses


black flame gaurdian jutsu
creates a giant knight made of
black flames, it is indestructible
and absorbes or stops any attack
aimed at it, it is the ultimate jutsu
it has no cons*

Cloud sits there.
"Sigh, sometimes you just ruin the fun."
