Kamui showed signs of his transformation into Sage Mode, a dark maroon markings had appeared around his eyes to to his ears and had a marking on his forehead that resembled a target. All was going well until he had detected Taumaster making his way into the vicinity of his detection barrier, the alarm went off in his head when he felt surge of Senjutsu chakras coming from there.
'These build-up of chakras! So fast, but not fast enough...to see this coming.' Kamui momentarily stopped his process of gathering and converting the natural energy around him, in order to counter-attack accordingly. For you see, Slug Sage Mode had it's perks and one of them was allowing him to sense attacks without having to open his eyes, so that is exactly what he did. Kamui sensed the build-up of chakras coming his eyes, anticipating the attack and swiftly brought his hand up with the palm facing forward at the focal point of the black flames, his other free hand was used to form a quick kata; the Flying Thunder God seal in his palm would activate soon after this.
'Hiraishin: Dōrai!' The black flames of Amaterasu would get sucked into the barrier space that was created by the sealing formula in his palm, this formula would warp anything that would come into contact with it; this meant that the ten-meter burst effect of the black flames would be somewhat delayed until it was warped away. Kamui was more than smart enough to come prepared for such a situation and turned to face in the direction where the attack came from, which wasn't that very far from him. He began parting his lips and spat out a marked kunai that would embed itself into the ground about five meters away from where the man was preparing the usage of his Shikotsumyaku; the moment that this occurred a burst of black flames started to spread around the area of ten meters from where the kunai landed.
Taumaster would have two options at this point, either stop what he was doing and find a way to dodge/negate the re-direction of his Amaterasu or face the cruel fate of being burnt to a crisp by your own technique. With that crisis averted for now, there no more room for any mistakes as anything could cost him very dearly.
'Summoning!' At this point, Kamui opened his eyes and slammed his palm onto the ground in front of him as a summoning formula spread across the ground from his palm's point of contact. Without a moment's notice, a small plume of smoke erupted and a pair of pale white slugs began slithering up his leg; eventually making their way and positioning themselves on his shoulders. These summons would play a role in keeping him from falling prey from the negative effects of his transformation, but for now the pair would serve as 'extra' eyes for the time being.
At the moment, Kamui was keeping a sharp eye out for anything out of the ordinary, most particularly paying close attention to the Shodai Otokage, since he knew that his counter-attack would only bring him moment's reprieve to what he needed to do until the inevitable came. The amount of activity surrounding the area was staggering to say the least, this meant that he would have his hands full if more than one attack came his way, so he had to play this close to the vest in order to get out of this without being incapacitated or worse, sealed away.

... aimed to come down and around the man so to close off his escape and almost chase him towards the ground like a falling cage.
Going with what Athos is saying is the current timeline, which is him arriving above the clouds before the first droplets of the acidic rain could touch the ground (and that's from the ground, jumping, regardless of his speed enhancers) then it can be surmised that Dart would be able to pass through his clouds right after Athos did as he was the closest to his own technique and light enough to ascend rapidly without needing more of a modifier. Athos also never specified exactly when he launched his attack once he got above the clouds, so it's going to be assumed that he would have launched his attack at the peak of (as noted and boasted) strong leap which would have sent him very, very high into the atmosphere, well beyond the clouds and without any modifiers to slow him down, he'd have to wait for gravity to take hold and his brief freefall would be when his attack launched. Thus his peak of his jump.
Dart, upon seeing the blue blur stop momentarily pause, gather an insane power boost that spiked his power levels, and then leap into the sky, figured that he might as well follow the man's ascent and thus flew through his clouds and popping out the other side, unintentionally cutting off Athos's ability to 'sense between the lines' and thus reestablishing his hidden presence entirely. With that in mind, he would fly after the man, always maintaining a 30 yard gap to the man's right, and once he reached the peak of his jump, Dart watched with muted admiration as he unleashed some sort of hellish attack that rained down from the heavens like a meteor shower. Luckily for him, Dart would have dodged a bullet just by ascending as the 25 meant for him would have nothing to track! And he was well out of the range of the balls being released so as to not be accidentally clipped by one, but just to have it documented, he would easily be able to dodge whatver ones for too close to him by using his Sharingan to evade their movements. His Eien no Mankegyō Sharingan that was still active from prior turn activation. So Dart would remain in the fight, unscathed and uninterrupted in his pursuit to win this match. Not wanting to allow this unbridled and unguarded chance to slip by (as Athos never did state focusing back to the task at hand and his hands were thrown in the air AND as the prior judge had decided that his Sage Mode wouldn't last, Athos would be in Sage Exhaustion from being forced out of it, not that Dart knew ICly that he had gone Sage Mode to begin with) Dart would focus sharply on Athos's boasted large chest and activate a technique that would spell his doom.
The hybrid would tap into his Uchiha side of his bloodline and activate a rather annoying yet incredibly useful technique with such speed that bested even the Truth-Seeking Balls! He fired off a both eyes Kamui on the entirety of Athos's torso. His torso would be sucked into the abyss within half a second and thus end his dog in this fight. His body wouldn't be able to activate his Healing Power as his source of chakra would be gone, whisked away into Dart's Kamui realm. Which, should be noted, that his torso would end up in a pool of acid, where it would dissolve in 3 seconds. That might be enough time for him to regenerate if it weren't for the fact that the pool of acid was inside a dome. A dome that nullified any and all chakra within its confines, thus preventing Athos's torso from generating the chakra needed to regen and making it dissolve into nothing but chemical bonds. This dome was specially designed to withstand even the mightiest of chakras (Bijū) and this would easily be able to nullify Athos's. In the actual world, his head and limbs would fall to the ground below, devoid of life (obviously) and it's protective chakra shroud where it would fall through the acidic rain and dissolve into mush before splattering in the ground below and dissolving completely.
Dart did not display any negative emotion in his activation of his technique as he was remaining in control of his emotions so there wasn't a chance for Athos to detect the activation via Negative Emotions. His chakra presence is also masked due to his prior buffs, so Athos can't detect the buildup of chakra in his eyes. The only real way he would have known about the attack is when it hit and then his torso would be gone. His brain would continue for a brief moment of time before shutting down and in that time, he would know that even a God can fall.
Meanwhile, in the land below his clouds, Dart wouldn't have a clue as to what was occurring to the other participants as he couldn't see them and his attention was admittedly focused solely on Athos, so his chakra sensory took a momentary backseat. Refocusing, he decided to wait above the clouds and begin to formulate a new widespread cataclysm that he could drop on the others.
Kamui
Nope. He states "once above"...
"Once you get done washing those dishes, make sure you sweep the floor."
That does not mean sweep the floor 5 hours later or even 10 minutes later than the moment you finish washing the dishes. That's not how that phrase works. I rule that Athos fired off the balls shortly after leaving the cloud cover.
Oh believe me I read it. The difference is I'm reading what it ACTUALLY says and you're reading what you MEANT to say.
I've had a bit of a family emergency on my end, if Jay will let me I will get a post out this evening.
- Participants must post every forty-eight hours.
- Failure to post within the allotted time-slot is an automatic disqualification. (No skips, if you fail to post. You should've made the time to post and that is that.)
And if all the participants agree to ignore a rule they previously agreed on then it's meaningless as that's the only thing giving them any authority, same with a judge.
If Jay wants to continue the fight the judge can't insist we stop if we don't want to. I'm going to post later and if Jay wants to continue the fight he can respond in kind and we'll actually finish this fight. If he wants to take the win via the time out he certainly can.
Is there any reason you're making passive aggressive comments and trying to start another argument?
@Jay
Watch out for those Freudian slips, lol. ;)
(This topic needs to be locked once the discussion has concluded. Thank you.)

My fault, man. I totally forgot that telling the truth about a universal rule set counted as passive-aggressiveness these days. Please forgive my transgressions and let me into your good graces, once again.
Lock the topic once you read this, since I don't want any accusations that I abused my powers as staff by locking the topic myself.
