Ichirou stood with Athos, the two had set up camp in withina Doton structure built for here and now purposes. This would serve as the Rendezvous point for the group called forth to Hunt monsters. Terrible monsters that plagued the land as of late.
Ichirou had been scouting out this particular creature for quite some time, discussing with Athos to set up and entire squad for this task, feeling as though simply the two of them was not enough. He stood with his arms crossed, a scroll in his right hand. He wore a dark set of the usual Shinobi clothing. Cargo pants, a vest and a short sleeve shirt. Atop his forehead was his Amegakure headband, and he stood patiently waiting for the arrival of his companions-to-be.
The camp was set up in the desert, on a rocky high rise that over looked a huge expansion of the sandy sea. Which was currently obscured from vision via a large sandstorm that took the area. Though the camp was just outside of it's reach.
Each contact that was to come and assist in taking down this beast was contacted via Ichirou's personal ANBU squad. Quicker with their task than the common carrier pigeon, and more descriptive as well. They were able to communicate to all the contacts the exact location of the camp, allowing Ichirou and Athos to be located easily for the briefing of this mission.
Edit: Adding post order
1. Ichirou
2. Athos
3. Deathstroke
4. Masane

Athos had always loved the desert, having spent some time in Suna in his younger years, but today was different. Monster had started to show up over the land it seemed people were willing to turn a blind eye to this.. But Ichirou and Athos hadn't been able to.
Athos stood at a towering six feet and seven inches, with crimson silk hair that flowed down to his ankles. There were black bands in his hair that were in several places along length of his hair, to keep it controlled. He was handsome, to say the least, and he wore a tight, sleeveless white shirt. This showed the tattoo on his left arm, from the back of his hand up to his shoulder. The last physical thing to note about the man was the piece of technology on his knees and elbows, devices Athos had called Tutumen. The acted as mini furnaces so he could generate Steam without a big, clunky suit of armor, and still use Unmatched Strength.
But he would give a small sigh as he cast a glance from the corner of his eye towards Ichirou,"Think they are going to show up?"
-
Deathstroke approached the stone structure, right where the contact said it would be. Someone had reached out to him about a hunt, and it did not matter the prey, no one was a better hunter than Deathstroke.
He stood a full six feet tall in his armor, which he wore as always, his body completely covered. If he had complaints about the heat he did not voice them. He came fully equipped, pouches filled with tools, twin blades, staff, and dual pistols. Seals on his armor would allow him to summon heavier arms should they be required.
He entered the structure, casting his gaze around at the men already gathered here.
"I was called, I came."
He said to neither of them in particular.
-
Masane had received word about a hunt from her brother. She figured this would be a good time to knock some rust off. Upon her clay dove the red head made her way from Amegakure to the campsite. The dramatic change in climate always irritated her. She hardly ever left the rainy land and once she reached the harsh heat of the desert, she soon began to miss the rain.
As she drew closer to the group, her eternal sharingan eyes took notice of the large sand storm. She landed a few feet from the three men and stepped off of her clay construct. "Hey guys. Are we all ready?
She asked. Her face was covered by an anbu mask that was soon to be revealed. She held her hand up to her face as she spoke. The mask soon broke down into several sheets of paper that moved to cover her hand. Under her cloak rested her various tools she would be using. As well as a number of seals scattered about her body.
-
As everyone arrive Ichirou looked over to Athos "Answer your question?" he said with a chuckle as he uncrossed his arms. "I'm glad the two of you could make it. Masane you're already familiar with Athos and myself, but as for you.."he looked over to Deathstroke, the newcomer to this group of friends, "My name is Ichirou Otsutsuki. Welcome to the team."
After Ichirou had said his words he would allow everyone else time to make their proper introductions as he walked over to the table and unraveled the scroll that was within his hands. Once everyone had introduced themselves to one another Ichirou would speak once again.
(http://www.wall321.com/thumbnails/detail/20120307/monsters%20giant%20artwork%201600x1125%20wallpaper_www.wall321.com_90.jpg)
I know the picture is kind of big but I couldn't make it smaller with the hyperlink (Or at least I don't know how)
Plastered on the scroll that he had unraveled was a picture of this gargantuan beast. Ichirou had crafted this picture of the creature after his time tracking it, and used it to help him inform the team of just what we're up against. "It's been roaming a lot. It hasn't made contact with any trade villages or people in general as of right now. But with the direction it's going it'll make it's way to Suna eventually. My plan is to take this thing down as soon as we can. Before it gets the chance to hurt anyone else." he paused for a moment, "Despite it's lack of contact with people it is abrasively aggressive. Often lashing out at nothing at all. If it has any nature transformations i've yet to see them. But it's body leads me to believe that it uses Lava release. Providing i've tracked it properly. We're not far from it at all. It should be on the other side of the Sidestorm here, sleeping." This was the extent of his briefing. His leaned onto the table supporting his wait on his hands as he finished up. His dull eyes looking at everyone else in the room. The sun was bearing down hard today, but the thickness of the sandstorm reduced the pure heat over their particular area. No doubt this wouldn't last if the storm passed, so there was a chance that his companions would suffer from dehydration.. considering their alive state. He would make sure to mention this after everyone had some time to speak, so he didn't talk their heads off.
-
As the two in question would show up, a grin touched Athos' lips as Ichirou took a slight dig at him, though it was playful. As there was a mention of introductions, Athos had a feeling Deathstroke may not completely care, but the man gave a bow of his head to the man,"My name is Athos, I'm the one who sent for you."But that is all he'd say to the man about that before he'd turn towards Ichirou, flashing Masane a smile as he did.
Athos had already been briefed but he still stepped over to the table, starting to add,"So we need a plan of attack. If it's sleeping, we may be able to cause some damage to the thing before it's fully aware. Maybe teams of two, I don't think any one of use should be alone."
-
Deathstroke looks down at the picture of the monster and listens closely to the briefing, stepping further into the structure.
"It's massive and if it's as hard as it looks direct attacks may not have much effect. It's appearance does suggest some kind of molten center..."
Deathstroke would pause and begin to analyze the situation, considering the tools at his disposal and what might be most effective in such a situation.
-
She glanced between Athos and Deathstroke. Finally she stopped on Deathstroke and spoke. "Uchiha Masane."
She had met Athos once before and the meeting was less than comfortable. The girl studied the image of the beast and began to wonder if they could even harm it.
It seemed as though attacking it while it slept was the best chance they had of bringing this thing down.
-
Ichirou nodded as Deathstroke spoke of the Molten core,"You're right, if it's got a weakpoint we definitely need to exploit it. Athos' idea of teams sounds good as well. Perhaps Athos and I could distract it while-" Ichirou's sentence was cut short by a roar, the beast had woken.
The roar from the creature caused the structure and the very earth beneath them to rumble. It could be heard for miles and at the range they were at the horendous sound was tough on the ears, causing Ichirou to wince in pain for a moment, especially considered his enhanced hearing. "It doesn't seem like we have a lot of time to discuss all this. It's apparently woken up again, and if we sit for two long it's going to be on the move, getting closer and closer to Sungakure. I say we follow through with two teams, Athos and I will draw the aggro and you two can attempt to see if this space on it's back is indeed a weak point." Ichirou pointed to what appeared to be a large hole on the creatures back. Huge chunks of rock floated around the space, suspended by apparently nothing. "Sound good to everyone?"
-
As Ichirou would suggest the teams, Athos would immediately shake his head,"I understand your trail of thinking, Ichi, but we shouldn't break into teams like that." The tall red head man would turn towards Masane and Deathstroke, looking both of them over slowly before he would nod his head,"Even if they are taking an attack from the shadows, it could go wrong. You should go with your sister, you both have better chemistry. The Merc is with me." He didn't want to try and overrule his friend like that, but there wasn't time to really debate it. He would turn towards Ichirou with a brow raised because if it was a problem, Athos would still attack with his friend but he'd then add,"You and Masane should try to find it's weakness. You've got that eagle eye and you know I'm not really one for sneaking around."
-
Deathstroke turns at the massive disturbance, feeling the ground shake beneath him. This might actually be a challenge after all. Deathstroke crosses his arms and replies gruffly,
"Brother and sister. Adorable. In that case I agree with Athos. If one of you gets distracted worrying about the other someone is likely to get killed. I'd much rather it be one of you than me."
Was he blunt? Yes. A job is a job and this job was not to make friends. Deathstroke wanted no part in anything that would compromise the mission.
"If the beast is as dumb as it looks Athos and I will easily be able to keep its attention while the Wonder Twins find a way to bring it down. Dumb animals are attracted by bright lights and big sounds."
Deathstroke would summon his Barrett M82 rifle to his hands, before strapping it onto his back.
"I've got plenty of both."
-
Awesome, we've made great progress so far, Masane has turned in for the night and as such we'll put the hunt on hold until she returns (Just to get the point of four man missions across, though this may not be the set up for all missions)
I look forward to finishing this up!

That's the thread that I wanted you to post in :P But I already added you to the new blood list so you don't have to post in that thread if you don't want to, This thread is just serving to show everybody who is interested a little taste of what we'll be doing with all this,
-
As the beast awoke shaking the earth in the process, Masane jumped back onto her clay dove as her right hand moved into her cloak. The mouth on her palm began to devour the clay she stored on her hip. She had no issue with the pairing and soon she took tothe skies once more. The girl circled the camp as she called out to her brother. "I'm ready to go."[\color] Ma She said as she filled her clay with Bakuton.
-
As Masane prepared herself, Ichirou would give a nod to Athos and Deathstroke. "Alright, get it's attention and we'll sneak up on it. Let's see how this goes." with that he would make his way from the building as well, jumping into the sky to be greeted by a huge congregation of paper that spewed forth from his back, gathering at his feet and forming a giant bird on which he would ride for the time being. The bird would gain altitude to match with Masane as the duo awaited Athos and Deathstroke to get started. Ichirou too, reached into a large pouch on his waist, and began to mould chakra into clay, intent on creating powerful bombs to carpet strike the beast with.
-
Athos watched as the two of them would leave the earthen construct that they were planning their mission in. Athos had looked at the piece if weaponry that he had summoned into his hands, taking note that is looked a bit advanced than anything he had seen back in his day. He was interested to see what kind of punch the thing packed. Athos would start to walk out the building, motioning for the Merc to follow him.
As they would finally step outside, Athos would cast a glance back at Deathstroke as he'd say,"Try to keep up." And then he would take off in a run. Athos didn't have any skills that let him actually fly, except in makeshift ways, so running was the best thing that he had. And looking at Deathstroke, Athos assumed it was safe to presume the man himself used his feet to travel around a lot, as well. It wasn't a breakneck speed or even Athos' faster but it was fast enough to where he was taking long strides with his legs, pumping his arms easily, and moving towards where the beast would be located.
-
Deathstroke follows his temporary partner. The assassin would pick up the pace as well as they ventured into the desert. He'd match his speed with Athos, though he was capable of topping out at an impressive 30 miles per hour if he had to. Since the sandstorm was still whipping about Deathstroke's helmet would switch to thermal vision. Normally that wouldn't be effective in such a hot environment but if their target really was full of molten lava it was going to be significantly hotter than anything else around.
-
She continued to move closer to the raging sand storm. There was no doubt that the beast would be at its center. As she moved her hand continued to devour clay. She prepared the clay with Dokuton chakra. She intended to poison the beast in the hopes that she could slow it down.
-
Ichirou joined the rest of the group in his charge toward the Sandstorm, as they neared it, it actually began to thin out. impeccable timing was the only explanation, but as they charged there was an epic theme in the background
Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wd1LatHMrY
As the sandstorm cleared the beast came into view, it towered at 2000 feet in it's knelt over position. As it rose from it's knees and elbows the ground cracked and split, releasing a earthquake of sorts upon the area. Perhaps this was his grounded teammates first trial in this hunt, Either way as the beast came into view Ichirou knew that he would have to move quickly to reach it's opening, especially considering it's weak spot was on it's back. He knelt down on his plane, releasing a blast of Futon from the back to increase his speed tenfold, releasing a small shockwave as it did so, this allowed him to begin to get the elevation needed to reach his target.
The beast would slowly stand from the ground, grumbling and groaning as it awoke. Huge amounts of ash erupting from it's mouth and back, almost as it was currently extinguished.
-
As the ground began to shake, Athos would open his Mind's Eye so he could clearly see within 10 Kilometers. The tall man would keep on running with as much speed as before, but beneath his feet there would be almost like an invisible road. Athos would have used his clan's Kekkei Genkai to place his chakra beneath them in platforms before he would start to speed up, leaving Deathstroke slowly in the dust,"Stay back, get ready to jump on my back." The other team needed a distraction and something this size... He had the perfect idea. Steam would start to explode from the pieces on his elbows and knees, slowly causing his body to become covered in smoke.
And slowly the steam cloud started to grow extremely quickly. How big you may ask? The Size of a Bijuu. From the cloud of steam, releasing a loud battle cry try and catch the beast's eye as it started to wake up, would come the full form of the Five Tails, Kokuo. He lingered backwards for a moment, to give Deathstroke his moment to jump on like he told him to prepare to do. And if he got on Athos, in this large form, the man would use that Horse Power to suddenly take off across the ground quickly, starting to gain ground quickly towards the Monster.
-
Deathstroke supposes one monster would do well in fighting another. The mercenary would quickly jump up the beast onto its back, and unsling his rifle. He'd load it with a clip of armor piercers with a high explosive yield. Seemed likely that it would take all they had to bring this one down.
The man took aim at the massive beast, his rifle did have impressive range after all. Ontop of a massive galloping horse was not the most stable firing position, but then again he'd have to try NOT to hit the beast, it was the size of a small mountain.
Deathstroke would fire four shots, one after the other, at the side of the beasts face. If it was made of regular earth the bullets would be able to easily pierce several feet into its rocky hide. The bullets would form a fifty foot by fifty foot square, each one being a corner. Three more bullets would follow up, hitting various spots in the middle of the square. Finally, each one would detonate with the force of 10 lbs of C4. Due to the placement they should crack off the large fifty chunk off the side of the beasts face, and if that didn't get it's attention Deathstroke wasn't sure what would.
-
Masane placed her hand on the back of the dove and lightened it via the light weight rock technique. She would be able to fly much faster now. Upon seeing the massive beast her eyes widened. It would take awhile for her to reach the targeted area.
The clay she had been molding had been set free in the form of small bats. Well small compared to the target. To the average person, these four bats would be considered large. (About the size of a sedan.) Of course this took almost all of her clay but it would take all of everything she had the hope to defeat this beast.
The bats would race forward gaining speed quickly. It did not take long for them to reach their mark. Masane would hope to have the bats crash into the monster's face, at which point they would burst and release thick clouds of purple smog.
The poisonous cloud would be large enough to conceal the creature's head from sight. It would hopefully keep the beast from seeing the party's advance.
She had a feeling that her poison would serve little to no other purpose. The beast was far too big for any toxins to take effect. There was no way she could produce enough. For now she hoped to give the team a small edge while they carried out their objectives.
-
As Deathstroke's bullets struck the beast, they would be able to see the side of it's head turn a deep black, with red vein like lines glowing in it's face, the dust from the explosion followed by the large poison cloud hid the beasts face from view for a moment, before the clouds were pushed away by the force of the beast launching a large molten rock from it's mouth,
The rock aimed to impact Athos, the now largest target in his Kokuo state, and upon impact would release a hefty explosion of molten rock.
Simultaneously the Ash that was being expelled from the beast dispersed and was replaced with the bright glow of lava as it bubbled up within the beasts back and face. Causing it's mouth and eyes to bear the same glow as well. The explosive damage would have been less than expected (from the bullets), and it was safe to say that this blackened state that the beast assumed was some sort of armor enhancement.
As the beast shot it's boulder toward Athos and Deathstroke, it simultaneously struck out at Ichirou and Masane, the beast would lash it's left arm through the aim, aiming to strike the flying duo from the sky,
It was safe to say that their aerial skills would have been enough to escape the arm, even considering it's large size. However that was not all that came with the beasts attack.
It's relative size caused it to produce ridiculous winds with it's swipe The duo would likely be struck with a shockwave of winds stronger than a tornado,
As Ichirou began to get closer to the beast he remained focused on the task at hand, developing something to hit it's weak point with. His endless chakra pools allowed him to create stronger clay bombs with less clay, and he gathered a hefty amount within his palms. Moulding the clay to add the explosive property in preparation for the beast.
As the clay was moulded it would form the shape of a ball, about the size of a Bowling ball, probably a size 12. And in final prepartion. A black formula would spread over the ball. stemming from a small circle created within the space that one of Ichirou's palms resided. Within the circle that spread the formula resided the kanji for "expand".
As Ichirou was struck with the intense winds he would morph his paper plane into a paper ball, and allow himself to be thrown by the winds before reforming the creation into a plane and taking flight once again. After the winds had tossed him Ichirou was at about the base of the beasts spine, flying up it's back now.
-
Athos would not have much choice at to what needed to be done right now as the giant piece of molten rock was launched at him and Deathstroke, with no way to warm his teammate to brace himself, Athos continued forward with his charge. The beast of a man would open it's mouth to release a ground shaking roar before there would be a build up of black chakra around it's mouth, creating a small ball. Deathstroke would be able to feel the slightest of pressure being built up in the air as it formed, as well.
But he didn't let it get into an impressive size, the blast taking off to soon be followed by two more, making it three in total. They weren't the strongest Tailed Beast Bombs that there could be, but they weren't meant to be strong, but fast. The first two hoped to slam into and destroy the incoming projectile that came towards them whilst the third one aimed to flew throw the debris and smoke of the explosion of the two and collide strongly with the stomach of the Monster. Athos hoped it'd do some damage and help draw it's attention from Masane and Ichirou towards the charging beast.
-
Deathstroke shouted at Athos, presuming he could still understand him in his beastly form,
"The creature has high defensive capabilities, normal attacks are not going to get through!"
As the creature retaliated he could see Athos preparing his own counter attack, and braced himself for the impact. Once the rock had been destroyed he'd take aim again with his rifle, fire another 5 penetrating rounds at the creatures eyes. That might not put it down but nobody has tough eyeballs, this should at least make it hurt. Hopefully Ichirou and Masane were thinking of a good plan to put this thing down for good. Who knew how much destruction it could cause once it really got going.
-
As the beast readied the blast, Masane maneuvered upward to avoid any explosive damage. She was able to avoid being bashed by the monsters hand. The aftermath of the swig caught her off gaurd. The force knocked her off of the dove and upward even more.
Being forced upward would help make a bit of progress. Unfortunately she was faced with now having to get back on her clay before she lost said progress. As she fell she manuvered the dove so that it would catch her and continue upward.
As she moved to the target area, she created a steel clone loaded with Bakuton chakra. It sat behind her ready to strike when given the word. Given this creature's size, it was sure to cause a large amount of chaos if not stopped.
-
The beast released a deafening roar as the bullets from the rifle struck it's eye, immediately following the blast in it's stomach. Causing it to topple over in agony. However, this also served as an offensive maneuver. The beast would aim to crush Athos and Deathstroke beneath it's body as it literally moved to slam itself into the ground. It wasn't the fastest creature in existence but it was far from Tortoise slow. as the beast would impact with the ground a small earthquake would be rendered, causing the ground to rumble violently as it cracked, dust flying everywhere in a huge cloud around the beast, hiding the outcome of Athos and Deathstroke for now.
Though the beasts attack could prove fatal, it also served as an opening for Ichirou and Masane, with Ichirou's clay ball prepared, he would utilize Doton to increase his flight speed, allowing him to close in on the beast as it aimed to crash into the ground.
About halfway through it's fall Ichirou would arrive in the center of the Hole on the beasts back. The inside looked similar to a volcano, though there was a large amount of solid rock mixed in with the molten liquid. Heat emerged off of the beasts back with such intensity that only after a few moments Ichirou's paper began to singe at the edges, causing him to funnel chakra through his creation to reinforce it.
Finally, Ichirou launched his attack. Utilizing a Hakke Kusho Ichirou would launch the clay ball from his hand with a chakra blast, sending it speeding toward the molten core of this monstrosity.
About halfway through it's descent, the clay began to melt. Causing Ichirou to form the seal of confrontation to activate the formula that was placed upon the ball.
The sealing formula would recede into the kanji on the ball, and a huge smoke cloud would poof as the ball grew to ten times it's normal size, allowing it to endure the heat just long enough to detonate.
The blast was catastrophic, sending up chunks of Lava and molten rock, as well as cracking much of the walls that made up the hole on the beasts back, the beast roared out in pain as it descended, and Ichirou knew that real damage had been done. Whatever Masane followed up with would definitely aid to the defeating of this beast.
At least, that's what he thought.
