The Southern Door (Taste)

Sarus Satetsu

❝ Sarus slowly entered a place that seemed that had been there. He stepped in something that seemed to be some type of liquid. Remembering that blood has the smell of metal, it was definitely that. He moved to a dry spot upon the wrecked field. As the smoke billowed about Sarus observed the environment enough to know that a large circle with a triangle in it. Which he was currently standing in... If that wasn't freaky then he doesn't what was. Now he put up his defense more. He knew he couldn't do his iron sand jutsu, but that doesn't mean he couldn't move. The black sand flowed out of his metal gourd and surrounded him. Since he couldn't hear or smell, he needed some external help. His chakra was infused in the sand, if something was to penetrate it, Sarus would instantly notice it. Sarus moved into the center of the field with his favorite sword and the iron sand surrounding him, leaving only his frontal view.

Sarus Satetsu

❝ As Sarus was in deep thought, waiting for something to happen, he paid close attention to the area of atrocious field that he was in. I was like, he was in a whole different place. Not in Suna, not in the post,and not in the forest. So could that mean the affects it had toward his sand was negated? Possibly. Technically, he wasn't in the forest anymore. He was in a building whose affects ere even worse. All he could do was try. Sarus turned and pointed his palm to the sand that floated around him. Mentally breaking down the sand, it evaporated into dust. At that moment Sarus noticed to things. First, he saw decomposed, or still decomposing, man watching him. Secondly, a red sticky, fluid was raising. If it iron dust jutsu worked, then... iron sand flowed out of his gourd and formed a dense cloud of sand. Sarus hopped up on the sand cloud before the fluid could make him permanently stuck. Sarus flow upwards so that he could get away from the an that seemed to have changed the environment. Six iron sand spears flew towards the abnormal man. However, they were still connected to the gourd so if he moved, they will follow him. Sarus never took his eye off of him. The dust that he recently made surrounded him and extended five feet outward. Basically, he created a chakra field that stayed around him and if anything entered it, he would notice it. No matter how fast it moved. He of course had to supple more sand to make the the dust up to five feet in circumference. Sarus' main focus was finding out what his ability was; Sarus feared that it was immortality. Based upon his body... Sarus almost paid no attention to the raging fire among the trees.

Ganchou, having suddenly and randomly appeared in the sky, fell towards the fighters below. Realizing he was falling far faster than anticipated, he struggled to reach behind himself, grabbing the katana he never used that was strapped across his back. He assimilated it, then aimed for the man and split his body apart. the natural gravitation force would itself cause the man to be slain by the thousands of falling pieces of metal.

Sarus Satetsu

❝ Sarus couldn't think of what was worse, dealing with the immortal or Ganchou. Sarus and his dense sand cloud fell into the muck, but Sarus stayed upon his cloud on the ground. Struggling to keep himself upwards, Sarus was able to look at the man who oddly dodged his spears. He did quick and it seemed as though the attack didn't even...exist. Going to through the posibilities of what he could have done, Sarus knew that it was either Genjutsu or a Space/Time ninjutsu. For Ganchou's sake, he couldn't help him for the moment, the gravity was too intense for him to help him. Being at his rank, doing something like that was very foolish. Based on the gravity, could the man specialize in space/time ninjutsu? It is a serious possibility, Sarus wouldn't be surprised if he could. Looking at his body, it looked like he'd been trapped in this mysterious forest for quite some time. After giving it serious thought, a space time ninjutsu is something that couldn't keep a man alive for a long time; that would be absurd. So most likely, he is using genjutsu. However, there has to be something else that is keeping him alive. Something demonic is definetley apart of the solution. Something about the forest is keeping alive or maybe something he put in the forest. Sarus knows he gonna fiure it out, but now, he needed to launch a counterattack. As the sand cloud retreated into his gourd and Sarus fell into the bloody muck, he then began to sink into the ground. Sarus moved quick and hastily when he performed his next jutsu. Earth spears soon began rising from the earth all over the battlefield. Surprisingly striking anyone who wasn't prepared for it. Sarus then gathered up his chakra for his next major attack.

Sarus Satetsu

❝ Sarus struggle and nearly suffocated many times trying to reach the surface. As he did, he got there in time to here the man repeat what seemed to be his favorite saying. Well. Sarus slowly brought himself to his feet with the support of a nearby earth spear. Sarus was in full sweat by the time he was finished. "Well, you know what I think? I think you're playing games with me. That the place we're in now doesn't exist. I can't seem to find any logic that if you truly are immortal, then what are you doing in this dump? Why are you in the world experiencing all you can? However, by looking at your body, it seems as though you could have already done that. And I know that no human with any sense would want to live their life in this place. Therefore, why aren't you planning or getting your revenge on the person that got you here. You know what else? This gravitational jutsu that practically breaking spine with, is phenomenal and very godly. You could crush village and basically become the emperor of the world with it. This leads me to think that if you are foolish enough to use a jutsu of such magnitude on just wandering ninjas, then it's obvious that this jutsu doesn't exist. And possibly neither does you." Sarus fell to his knees cause the gravity was unbearable but he had to withstand for a few seconds longer. "Ganchou, you put yourself at you own risk if you stay where you all." Sarus first closed his eyes and performed the kai symbol. He didn't know what effect it had on anything, but he would know after he finished one of his final attack. After performing a series of handseals, Sarus placed his hand on the ground, through the muck. Although it may not be seen, but 60 yards, which covered the whole battlefield, was now converted into iron sand. The bloody muck was absorbed into the sand and Sarus once again saw the demonic circle. Could that be the answer to his immortality? Sarus would figure it out. Sarus sent chakra waves into the sand and anything that was in front of him was crushed, covered, and smothered by the black iron sand. Even if he was still alive, Sarus wouldn't be able to see his mocking face or hear his sarcastic gestures anymore.

//'Pologies! Interwebs error...//

As Ganchou fell straight through the man, he was confused. A Sarus was theorizing out loud, the man could not be invulnerable, not unless it was a genjutsu. However, he'd encountered Genjutsu enough to know that most of the time, getting out wasn't that simple. Per Sarus's warning movements, his parts all rolled along the hill until they moved behind Sarus, and as he (with much struggle) reformed into his basic body, he contemplated what to do next. If the boy's Kai showed no visible effect, he knew what he would have to do, of course.
