The Snake leaves his lair (Open/up to 4)

Any shinobi who would challenge Denkiteki Hayate, the Hogokage, must be powerful... or just stupid. But this shinobi, Shiro can tell, is not the average one. His demeanor is too confident and his physique matches the power he would need in order to take on a ninja like the kage of Hoshigakure.

"We've got trouble. And I'm not going to stick around to find out how bad this will get." Shiro thinks, making his way out of the crowd and proceeding to the village library.

"Hey Den, as much as I want to see that snake you got their it will have to saved for another time, I gotta get out of here with the people of this village. NIGEEERRUUUUUUU." Atem says as he dashes into the crowd running the opposite way from Takeo, "Hmph, I just wanted to see the snake." Atem said as he continued to run away.

Takeo was amused. Mostly due to the reactions to his presence. He noticed some of them left, rather quickly actually. And then some other guy ordered a bunch of people around. Takeo didn't pay them much mind, insignificant beings who would just serve as bonus points. Then the guy stepped up next to Den, which was cute. Then something odd happened. One of the guys walked up and..hugged him? Takeo stood there blankly. How awkward. What was he supposed to do now? Aki would probably get mad at him if he killed the person. But the effect of his arrival would probably be ruined. Coming to a quick decision, he took this occurrence in his stride. Or tried to appear to. Dropping his arms to his side he patted the boy on the head with his right hand.

Continuing with the patting he decided to reply to Den when he spoke out to him. "I assumed that Xyxer had disposed of you." He sighed. "Naturally Xyxer can't be trusted to do anything correctly. I'm quite thankful that Akihana informed me about your presence here." The patting would likely continue until the boy moved himself away from Takeo. "And I suppose it would be quite messy if I tried to kill you here." Takeo mused, glancing about the place slowly. "Outside it is then I guess." And he'd like follow Den if he went somewhere, dragging the child along if they remained attached with him.

As Dusk ran past him on his left side Den would reach out and attempt to grab the back of his jacket with his left hand, moving at 80 speed to do so making it unlikely that Dusk would be able to avoid the grapple. Not that he'd be aware of Den's attempt either, the village leader’s movement was silent and he'd be behind Dusk when he made his move.

"Arashi, could you take Dusk somewhere safe please? I'm not sure he's aware of what's going on." Den wasn't sure what Dusk had been planning, he figured maybe he was going to try and attack Takeo, maybe? Dusk was an... interesting kid, Den still didn't quite understand him yet. All the more reason he shouldn't be present for this.

Den would put the Senju down in front of Arashi, who was on the other side of Den, before looking back at Takeo. Should he still accept to fighting outside the village the Snake Sage would make his way towards the village gate, moving at a walking pace. His chakra sensory would remain active in case Takeo changed his mind about fighting outside.

Den would leave through one of the western gates, which were rarely used. Other than the 6 meter wide road the landscape was fairly barren beyond the gate, not much to see besides knee high grass and the sun falling towards the horizon in the distance.

Unless Takeo said something Den would turn to face his old friend after walking 150 meters from the village gate. Den doubted, regardless of how this battle went, that he would use the Tailed Beast Bomb so he felt he was a safe enough distance from the village to fight.

"Should we get started then?” Den would keep his sharingan eyes fixed upon Takeo after turning around but he decided against making the first move.

Well Dusk had been walking and now he had been complacent. Looking up he would see that it was Den that had stopped his super secret plan to hug assassinate the person who had been threatening him, so with that Dusk wore a little puff on his face to show his annoyance. Instead he clung onto Den's arm like a monkey for a moment before letting go and going back to the snake since he was not going to simply vamoose from the situation. Providing the snake had still been there he would stare up at it with his big blue eyes and gawk at it," What's your name?," not knowing if the snake could talk or not he just stood there in amazement of the giant creature and waited.

It was a great relief to see Den stop the young ninja from getting himself killed, and his orders were clear and concise.  "Of course." he said, summoning a couple of clones to pick up Dusk and take him someplace safe.  If he resisted... well he'll appeal to the snake then.

Den started walking to the gates to leave the village, and for the longest moment Arashi wanted to do anything he could to stop it.  He had every confidence in Den's ability.. just not his opponent's ability to fight fair.  Making sure the streets were being cleared, the younger shinobi took off, roof to roof to head to the main gates.  If anything, he was going to watch to make sure that nothing bad happened to the First.

"Nice place you managed to find." Takeo would comment, walking slightly behind Den through the village. He felt safe enough to do so, he doubted Den would wish to risk attacking him inside of the village at all. Naturally given the vision granted by his Byakugan he would keep an eye out for anything just in case. He briefly noted that one of the shinobi from the group had decided to follow along. How amusing.

Sik timeskip to outside the village ensues.

Presently, Takeo stood about twenty or so meters away from Den. He had stopped walking after they had put some distance between them and the village. Den had walked on, then turned. Listening to the man speak he nodded slightly. His arms would move up in the air, though that was just because he wanted to stretch his limbs. The sound of electricity crackling could be heard loudly, given that the area was surprisingly silent because it was an intense anime showdown of course. Did I mention Takeo had done two handseals before raising his arms? Takeo's primary chakra nature solidified above him, lightning forming into the shape vaguely like that of a halberd in his hands. "Sorry about breaking the rules already Aki." Takeo said, sounding somewhat saddened. He had been looking forward to actually helping out here.

It was for the best though, he had told himself that as he had followed the man he had usurped out of the village. "No turning back now I guess." With that said, he hurled the lightning halberd forward with one hand towards Denkiteki's location. It travelled at a speed of 100, because that's what the app says.

(Prepares himself for multiple comments on how terribad his post is)

Den could both sense and see the building up of chakra within Takeo, who was definitely 20 meters away. Part of the Sage had hoped Takeo had been joking about wanting to kill him, that they'd walk out here and Takeo would throw a few insults at Den rather than a gigantic bolt of lightning. Den heard Takeo make an apology to Akihana before saying that there was no turning back. Den wished there were some words he could say to dissuade Takeo from the battle, but  he could understand why Takeo wanted to kill him. Even though the village had no need of him that didn't give Den the right, in the opinion of many, to leave. Even if Den thought his reasons were justified himself he doubted Tak would care how Minorin's death had effected him, and would likely not see any point in his mission to get vengeance.

As Takeo threw the bolt Den would do 2 hand seals at 130 speed, holding the snake seal after completing it. 4 and a half meters away from Takeo trees would burst from the ground, their trunks forming together due to their close proximity causing them to create a wall that was 5 meters wide, the trunks of the trees themselves were about a meter in diameter. Moving at 115 speed, just a little bit faster than Takeo's bolt of lightning, the trees would grow 15 meters high. The Lightning Halberd would smash into the wall around the time that the wall had grown 4 meters in height. This is of course assuming the jutsu works like in the appearance on the app and the halberd forms from the users hands as they throw their arms forward. If the halberd was, like, actually already formed in Takeo's hand, and the head of the Halberd is in fact a couple meters in front of him then the wall of trees forms 4.5 meters in front of where the the head of the halberd was just as it was being thrown. If this was the case Den would also start jogging backwards at 55 speed as the trees began forming, his sharingan making him aware of the explosion that accompanied the halberd. He'd travel back 20 meters before stopping.

At the same time this wall of trees was formed another smaller one would form half a meter behind Takeo, 3 meters wide, 7 meters tall, and with tree trunks that were half a meter in diameter. The ground in a half circle around Takeo, with the growing wall of tress behind Takeo being the diameter of the half circle, would erupt as roots grew all along the arc of the semi circle, all moving towards Takeo to wrap around him at his torso and limbs to try and hold him in place. The roots would all be an inch in diameter.

Nori:

The snake would drop the scroll from it's mouth next to Dusk and unfold it with his tail before using the tip of it to point at his name, Nori. He chose not to speak because Den had told him not to earlier. On this scroll Denkiteki's name would be visible, along with two other's that had the Hayato surname, a Takehiko and a Tomoya.

All the roots/trees are moving at 115 speed, have 115 health and 125 power

Dusk for a moment stared at the male who had tried to grab him and moved away from him and towards the snake like he had originally planned. Looking at the scroll which had been opened and promptly pointed at by the snakes tail, the name stood out as he said the name aloud," Nori huh? Well i'm Dusk and I wanna be friends with you," smiling he looked over the names of the people who had been there. Seeing Den was the first he looked over the other two wondering if these two had been related to him. Not thinking anything of it he looked up towards the snake and smiled," So can I sign your scroll?," wanting to be respectful of the snake and its contract he waited for his answer before doing anything.
