Tsume Clan Caves

[Jeriah]

Tsume Clan Caves (爪, "Claw Clan Caves") is a large cave system that runs throughout the entire Land of Wolves. The Tsume clan often uses it to travel and communicate. There are actually two Tsume clans; the east and the west tribes. They generally share the same cavern system but they also tend to keep to themselves. The Tsume clan is very barbaric and in many ways archaic but they stick together and love one another. The Tsume clan lives amount wild wolves as though they were people. To them, they are. They dislike the Okami clan for fear that the clan despises them; this is deep-seeded fear of "inferiority". The cave is always much warmer than the outside of it. The Tsume clan attributes this to their god Kenshi (犬歯, "Canine Tooth").​

The 4 tails mysteriously appeared within the Land of Wolves. His chakra mimicked that of a furnace and melted any solid he came in contact with. Residing deep inside the Tsume clan cave, Son Goku also known as Yonbi's lava release emitted temperatures that no man would be able to survive. His presence was unwelcomed as his intense heat melted the surrounded glaciers causing the water to steadily increase. If not sealed or subdued, the beast's advanced chakra nature would sink the village.

The Tsume Caves, is a complex series of under passages that lies beneath an even more hazardous region that has become acknowledged as the Ookami no Kuri. A country that has been permeated with chilling climate cold enough to match the coldest winter nights of Land of Snow along with an equally dangerous searing wind, with enough heat to match the summer days of Sunagakure. However, despite this a clan had managed to take refuge within this high uneven environment and serve as the opposition for the Okami Clan. Tsume Clan became recognized for being considered one of the most barbaric clans for their ideology of society by living amongst the namesake of their land. Though deep there appears to be something amidst the hazardous environment as the under passages entrance have been stated to be nearly scalding hot. The intensity of the heat was causing global warming to the entire and the culprit behind this situation was none other than the King of the Sage Monkey, Son Gokū.

Thankfully, the lord of stone has long since been in search of the mighty lava ape for a long time as well as the dolphin head stead that have long since be associated with the hidden beside the rocks. He has acknowledged it was his responsibility to subdue both of these massive goliaths for the honor of his home. This situation has provided a substantial opportunity to apprehend the Yonbi. Though the burgundy haired demon didn’t care what the pretense of the matter was he sought to complete his objective by any means necessary. Still this seemed to be the most peaceful approach available to achieve his goal while also ensuring that the Land of Wolves doesn’t meets a watery end in a underwater grave. The burgundy haired shinobi hastily traversed from the comforts of Iwagakure to the searing tundra equipped with only his will and his own two fist just like his was taught during the introductory phase of his journey on the path of a murim practitioner.

Once he arrives he noticed the snow on the ground had slowly began to melt transitioning into a icy slush that submerged the blackened shinobi sandals on the feet of Raoken. Despite the chilling sensation that permeated his feet there was an extreme heat comparable to the searing desert. Though this was of little concern for the seasoned combatant as his constitution was tougher than steel and would never waiver from nothing let alone bipolar weather. The ruby eyed demon continued forwards through the volatile region to his destination. It only take an incense of time before the entrance to the passage was discovered by him. The more he approached the underground corridor the more a hot sensation swept over his being feeling as if the tan colored fur from his blackened jacket would be burnt. Thankfully this wasn’t permitted to happen.

After entering complex cavern system, he encountered a large hallowed out area which was deemed a acceptable place for the young earth shadow to commence the next phase of his test by not wasting anytime in taking a large breath of air before immediately stating in a rather loud manner.

“Yonbi, it’s time to go back home Ape Lord. Now I would prefer for you time come back with me in a peaceful manner if possible but I am prepared in cause if you are uncooperative. So please, come out so we can converse please?”

Raoken stood awaiting for a response from the Ape Lord.

The young earth shadow stood with a relaxed posture as he patiently awaited the arrival of the Goliath Yonbi to reply to his echoing statement. However, no response was offered to him and this was greatly displeasing to him as his expectation of the prideful nature of the Ape Lord always willing to flaunt it boastful personality. Though what else could be stated if the burgundy demon's taunt was unsuccessful, other than to drag the massive creature out by one of its five appendages. With no hesitation, the vigorous malicious energy that dwells within his being begins to circulate with a sliver of it being diverted into his lower extremities similar to the manner in which a spring is compressed.

The muscles fibers located in his calves started to rapidly compress and expand within a moment's notice, intensifying the built up pressure until finally expelling the intense force resembling the eruption of an active volcano. This activated one of the multiple hallmark techniques that is at his disposal however this was a supplementary technique utilized to propel oneself forward with incredible force through the soles of their feet by flicking their heels at a rapid pace. This was notably titled as the Flicker Step to those who are familiar with the combat art.

The subterranean demon traversed the complex series of under passages with the hope of discovering the location of the prideful lord of the apes by means of aerial transportation permitting him a near birdseye view. However, he remained wary of "flying" too close to the ceiling of this intricate cavern and sought to remain clear of the stalactites by performing effortless dodging maneuvers while airborne as if he were gracefully skating on the present wind. This wasn't the only thing that had occupied the attention of the combative daemon as he knew that it would expend an enormous amount of time and energy to survey the entire cavern. With no hesitation instantly inhales the surrounding air particles into his massive pair of lungs and starts to assimilate the oxygen within his being[/ISPOILER].

With this he steps into the introductory stage of his manufactured respiratory technique that has been commonly known as the Breathing Method. This supplementary jutsu permits the practitioner to exceed their bodily limitations by means of various breathing exercises. The introductory stage is referred to as the Northern Sequence, the brain naturally requires a consistent source of oxygen delivered to it otherwise it subsequently begins to perish. While under the application of the breathing technique the restrictions placed on the cerebrum are released allowing nearly a hundred percent functionality and has also been described as feeling quite serene.


Raoken ascension into the introductory phase permitted him an immense boost to his sensory capabilities through the means of echolocation by constantly emitting a frequency of vibrations into the area to retrieve information about the environment. The Tsume Caves provided a great setting to utilize this ability as the emitted vibrations bounced back relaying the information about his intended target. This news had greatly pleased the young daemon as seen when a malicious smile formulated across his face,
exposing the serrated fangs of Raoken tk the world while hurriedly propelling himself.

Only taking a few moments to stand before the four tailed goliath with a smile on his face with his feet once again submerged within a body of water apparently melted from the surrounding snowy region.

"Ape Lord time to go home alongside me or apart of me but the choice is yours, Yonbi"

Raoken stood before the beast awaiting his response.

Son Gokū (孫悟空, Son Gokū)

Breathes were being taken as oxygen was filling the massive lungs of the revered Sage, such a regarded presence as his was thoroughly saturating the land he was within. The heat that emanated from his recent doing, and the steady warmth emitting from his body was altering the natural landscape as well as that within the cave. The fearsome beast was hereafter another cycle of rebirth, allowing the King of the Sage Monkeys to exist once more in the Impure Land. The beast miraculously appeared here and has been shifting through memories and his encounters on this plane. Most of Son's memories were unpleasant, as he was constantly hunted for power within himself. It was a fate all-tailed beasts have come to share, and they absolutely abhorred humans for the majority of history because of it. As he stood again on this plane, the beast desired a better experience but understood that freedom could be short-lived. The thought had flared his body's natural temperature, causing the environmental weather to completely shift inside dramatically. Essentially, within a matter of seconds, the one-hundred-meter area surrounding The Great Monkey King would no longer have ice. As the average temperature within the radius was now an eventful, one-hundred and twenty-nine degrees Fahrenheit with the likely hood that the number can spike tremendously, Son Gokū's massive fist landed on the surface causing a disturbance to alert others to clear a path for something that possessed unbridled strength. With the cycle of rebirth complete, Son Gokū, an absolute force of this world knew no equal as he stood upon it.

Standing on both legs and fist pressed on the surface, the snow melted underneath the fur causing more steam to rise into the atmosphere. The steam maintained the temperature of the environment and threatened to damage the humans that lived within. As normal humans suffer first-degree burns at one-hundred and eighteen degrees, they too suffer second-degree burns at one-hundred and thirty-one degrees burns. This was a threatening circumstance for whoever did not evacuate Son Goku's presence. The situation would also be harmful to the human nose, as airways would be burned resulting in the swelling of the lungs that blocks the passage of air that disables human breathing. Anyone's proximity to the environment was unwelcomed, as the King of the Sage Monkey was positioned in the middle of the Cave making his location detrimental to all the inhabitants within.

As Son Goku made all and any inhabitants within unwelcomed, there was someone who dared close the distance between the two. Through the impeccable smelling ability, the Monkey King was able to decipher through the atmosphere and pick up on what more likely was a shinobi. And within a few moments, the physical appearance of a shinobi landed one-hundred feet ahead of him. This angered Son, as he heard the the human speak casually as if defeating the Tailed Beast was even an option. The ignorance before him would be answered with force and more, and instanteously the resolve of Son Goku shot with awe-inspiring quality. Such determination was capable of putting the man out of action, as it submerged the area surrounding Raoken. This happened within two consecutive notes in a diatonic scale. As blood shot eyes from Son stared at the wretched shinobi, the beast released a roar concurrently, causing the entirety of the cave to shake. The immediate response dulled down the full potential power of Son, but the warning was to be heeded. There was a lot for the newcomer to worry about and in only a few moments the battle would be over if they were not tackled correctly.
"HUMANS! SUCH BARBARIC CREATURES AND UNINTELLIGENT LIFEFORMS, YOU HAVE ANGERED THE GREAT MONKEY KING!"
His voice projected and rattle throughout the cave whilst never wavering his guard and perception of the surrounding.

The young enthusiastic shinobi’s ruby eyed gaze peered at the crimson haired goliath as he knew this would be a marvelous spectacle told by his descendant similarly to the fabled Third Raikage of the village hidden by the clouds and his encounter with the Gyuki. These thoughts of combat further amplified the mood of Raoken. The malicious smile that was apparent on his face was on full display, exposing his serrated molars to the beast. However, this was not the appropriate time to permit his excitement to be brought to light as his attitude quickly shifted becoming blank expressionless. Immediately readjusting gaze that was fixated on the massive four tailed creature before to scrutinize the fabricated dwellings.

Upon closer inspection of the Yonbi's temporary lair, it would become apparent to the burgundy haired demon that the current environment had found himself immersed in was incredibly detrimental to an ordinary shinobi's well-being. Son Gokū's presence continuously emitted enormous amounts of searing heat that was able to greatly disturbed the environment of the Ookami no Kuri. The young lord witnesses the climate around him escalate tremendously as the icy slush that submerged his feet mere seconds ago completely dissolves into enough water to submerge his entire feet and calves. Thankfully, the lord of the daemons was much more than a normal human as his lineage has provided him with substantial benefits that most individuals were not able to acquire from his family's breeding methods. To his unique association with hellish entities and even going back to his times as a combative subterranean fighter. This heat was comparable to the tropical climate of a foreign land to Raoken. Though one must never underestimate their opposition or risk the taste of defeat, or even worse face an untimely death and he was not able to reach the pinnacle of his village by being a fool.

With no hesitation, the ruby-eyed daemon immediately began to disrobe beginning with his elongated blackened overcoat and flinging it into the path he emerged from just mere moments ago. Then followed with discarding his equally darkened long-sleeved shirt separating it from his toned hazel brown flesh and exposing his torso to the goliath that stood before him leaving nothing on his being except for his trousers, and standard issues shinobi sandals on his feet. Raoken was not one for using weaponry as he holds a firm belief that they are just hunks of sharpened metal that has a fascinating shape and when it comes to a life or death matter then it will eventually. While also looking back on his tribulations as a practitioner of murim when he was permitted the luxury to utilize weapons in combat despite his adversaries being allowed to do so.

After finally undressing, the young daemon returned his piercing crimson gaze back to the majestic lord of the sage monkeys. Son Gokū appeared to irritated by the earlier statement with the release of a mighty roar being projected throughout the entirety of the underground complex series of corridors. The force behind such an outcry was enough to cause even the stalactites to tremble above the pair as a few of the smaller cave formulations to fall behind them. Though this wasn't considered the end to the displeasing attitude of the Yonbi. Immediately, following such a display of might with such derogatory words. The Akuma head knew that apprehending such a ferocious creature as a one of the legendary tailed beasts would be considered a rather strenuous task. Though his expectations were greatly exceeded as the realization of this ordeal's complexity sets in his mind. Though fortune will always favor those who are willing to risk it all and Akuma is ready, willing, and able.

"Ape Lord, you stated that I was a barbaric and unintelligent life form. However, it is unprecedented for the lord of the mighty ape species to use such lowly tactics such as insults against such a lowly creature like myself. So I would request that the wise sage instruct me properly unless the legendary Son Gokū fears a man such as myself?"

The young earthly lord gaze remained affixed firmly on his adversary and without an ounce of hesitation Raoken permits his malicious presence to ooze from his frame. Whlist being discharged the amethyst hued essence permeates the immediate surroundings and encompasses the confines in effluvium. This authorizes the activation of the introductory stage of his clan's Veil. Once the infestation of fumes interacts with another being, they will become subjected to a series of horrid delusions. Simultaneously, while the blank empty pigmentation of sclera transitions into a stygian hue as his crimson irises underwent a minimal change by shifting to a violet hue.

The violet eyed demon awaited for the response of the mighty Yonbi ready for his "lesson".

Son Gokū (孫悟空, Son Gokū)

The faculty to cogitate was a derivative of most if not all species' intellectual systems, and without the cognizant operations functioning correctly action would always become restricted. Deprived of the ability to process information or cognize data, anyone or anything of any species would not be able to physically or mentally take action. Unceremoniously, if the systems in place were unconscious or conscious, all biological administering systems would have soon stopped. This was the consequence of standing before the Sage of the Monkey Kings, Son Gokū (孫悟空, Son Gokū.

Incensed rosy orbs stared directly at the man who’d become subjugated to the Great Sage Equalling Heaven (斉天大聖, Seiten Taisei) intention. To be able to muster the stupidity, and the foolishness to confront the sage was welcomed, as the shinobi was now able to clearly witness an absolute force of nature. A force of nature unlike any other, as literal and exact as the sun and the moon. The beast is analogous to life or death – demise; permanent and inevitable. It was as if one was within the volcano, not just existing in the god-forsaken world but presently ending within it. There was an accursed redness in this domain, and it manifested in many forms that were more than traumatizing but death-inducing. Son was forged through this heat but never consumed by it because he’d learn to channel it. Since then, his resolve has grown over the millenniums of existence, and his crushing malice had substantially become known for its unmovable and heated hold. Decaying whatever subjected within the realm of doom; inside a man who was being engulfed by a vastness of lava. This very man within the prerogative of the disaster was petrified and speechless as the torridness of the world consumed all within. This was the fate of thousands before this man and will continue to be what happens when one faces the Yonbi, Son Gokū.

A realm of the temperament of the worst kind imaginable, it held no logic or reasoning for the wailing that seemingly happened within it. It was as unforgettable as a toddler’s temper tantrum but as controlled and dangerous as a military's mightiest nuclear weapon. Unforgettable and unimaginable, as the seemingly deadliest super-heated and blackened clouds suffocated the height of the volcano. Ejecting molten rock, pulverized pumice, and hot ash at one point five million tons per second, releasing one hundred times the thermal energy of atomic bombings potential of the shinobi world. The sounds ostensibly released were explosive and ostentatious, comparable to tons of fireworks going off together. Son Gokū’s appearance in the biosphere was undeniable, at the same time immovable object. All those that stood in the way of the Tailed Beast, suffered the fate of melting into the searing magma and lava.

The observant eyes of the bloodshot-tailed beast narrowed and sharpened at the moment of realizing opportunity struck. Keen like an eagle during the day and acuteness of an owl at night. With the reflexive and ridiculously massive muscles within his right leg Son kicked off the surface, propelling himself forwards at great speed causing the scorching and flesh-melting water behind him to kick up and scatter upwards to soon descend like hellfire. Through the hazy atmosphere, the beast was appearing as a silhouette through the smoke, the four-tails massive body came downwards with tremendous force and pressure. Yet, still within the air and the distance closed within a blink of time. The enormous closed fist of the rubicund-furred beast targeted downwards with stupendous haste; it was as if an ignition was behind the punch with force likened to an apocalyptic volcanic eruption that could break several bones and some into a million pieces. The red fist mimicked the sun, with such divine and holy intensity that should only belong to the heavens or those who walk in the realms of Yomi. The vigor behind the attempted impact was filled with such emanating heat that easily seared away even refined flesh, organ, bone, and metal. The fist-width would cause an epic collision to the entirety of the shinobi’s body sending him backward, launching at abrupt speeds that would even bewilder dojutsu users. The shift to the environment was also drastic with the heat of Yonbi’s body also instantaneously melting all of the ice in the distance traversed, as well as causing the vibrations from his movements to cause the stalactites to fall down. Each stalactite avoids hitting the Yonbi, but advantageously descends to land behind and around them.
