The girl had backed down rather quickly, it wasn't really surprising if he was being honest. At least not at first. Of course as the moments passed he became more surprised by what happened. The girl was a Jashinist? That was interesting, however from the little bit of knowledge he had of the woman it fit. Scythe toting peoples commonly clad in red, black, or some mixture of the two and other things. It was also good that the knowledge he had from his home was not some out of date legends and old scriptures or falsified documents. Thinking about how best to go about the situation at hand...maybe a bit more instigation to see what would happen? Worse case scenario he could simply stop the two of them from killing each other if he had to. The entire time he'd look like he was in thought, the boy whom he had taken some bit of interest in spoke, even gave him his own nick name. Referred to the other who was here as well who seemed to not be making any sort of reactive moves to towards any of the others. If anything, something felt weird about how he was reacting, however Hitotsu would find himself brushing it off in favor of the other two.
"Ah," He spoke up, looking at the whom referred to him as 'The Angel' "I don't think I've ever been called an Angel. If you're referring to the good, pure, sweet ones that many seem to know I'd urge you to reconsider your classification of me." After he spoke, for a moment it was like his face lit up with realization. Turning towards the Jashinist girl he would speak. "Ah, one's thirst for blood must never quell." He spoke, towards the Jashinist whom he was sure would recognize the words. A way to both solidify his own knowledge and perhaps provoke or instigate the jashinist. "I'd say your thirst looks pretty quelled to me. Or perhaps it isn't, perhaps you merely doubt yourself. Second guessing some might say?" He poked,
Akira grit her teeth as the white clad male spoke in such a condescending tone to her, talking about his perceived views on Jashin and her dark god's will. She was a bringer of sorrow, and an emissary of death itself, at least that is how Akira stylized herself. To have that and her devotion to her one true lord and master questioned so brazenly about sent her fuming into a flabbergast, "How dare you claim to know anything about Lord Jashin's Will or my presumed hesitance to kill?! No, this one is not ripe. What's the point of killing something if it is an unworthy offering... Only a fool eats unripen fruit, and this Uchiha has yet to even get sweet enough to eat.", she remarked before narrowing her red hues at Hitotsu. Her eyes were more of a red-amber, possibly a side-effect of her Kekkai-Tota, not characteristic of the Sakkakugan or the Sharingan.
Akira then spun her Scythe forward and settled into a stance as she looked back to Himitsu. "But, he does make a valid point. I can't let you off easy, kid. No offense, it's just business...ya know, me being The Reaper and all. Culling the weak and sickly. So let's just see if your façade is what is or isn't? Pretty easy...if you're weak, you'll die, and I'll take your eye. If you're strong, you'll live. Pretty simple.", Akira stated as she awaited his response. She was going to be fair and give him a chance before outright taking a sucker shot at him. After all, she was no shinobi, and stealth tactics were not in her nature. If Himitsu was any good at reading people, he would be able to gauge that she was pretty blunt, straight-forward, and wasted no time in telling lies or attempting to deceive him.
These people just seemed to get weirder every second. The "lost boy" had seemed to perk up for a moment, before apparently collecting himself and slinking back a bit once more. Either he'd forgotten he was nervous, or forgotten that he was supposed to be. He didn't seem interested in posing a threat regardless, and he was back to practically hiding in his own shadow. "Head straight to your right, and you'll find the road. Take a left and you'll find Konoha if you're meant to be there." He shifted his attention to the man in white as he spoke. By the sounds of his speech, it didn't seem likely he was actually associate with the woman. Paired with his dress, it wasn't obvious if was associated with anyone in particular. A trait all of these people seemed to share. The young Uchiha could feel his heart pumping with anger as the man egged on the woman. "I'd really love for you to stop talking now. The boy had wanted to avoid a fight, especially with a Jashinist. But as Akira chimed in and "offered" an invitation to fight, it was clear to him that the fight was unavoidable. His frustration trickled into his face as he placed his fingers over his Lightning Seal. "I really didn't want a fight. But if you want one that bad, have it!" Himitsu then released his quiver of arrows from it and leapt away silently from the smoke of the release. [Hunter Body Flicker + Hunter's Cloak | Rank A] From his new perch in the tree line, he nocked an arrow and drew his bow, channeling chakra into the arrow and weaving fuuton chakra and genjutsu around it before launching it at Akira. [Mystic Hero Korabo: Wind Dragon Technique & [Whistle Shot + Shihouhapou] | B-Rank Overwhelming] The moment the arrow left the Uchiha's control, he leapt to another branch several feet away, using his Hunter's Cloak to his advantage while trying not to get caught it one spot.

Itori's eye twitched as the one in white antagonized the scythe-wielding Jashinist. However, it was Himitsu who jumped first. Perhaps he did not want this to be an extended altercation due to the natural longevity of Jashin's loyal followers. As the brawl kicked off, he skirted the edge of the clearing to get closer to the stranger with white hair. "Pushing them like that? Was that a good idea?"
His prodding at the girl the way he did seemed to have struck a nerve. That was good, that was his intention. Of course in actuality, his own feelings about Jashin and the girl didn't reflect the words he spoke. He found it interesting at best, same for the girl, which was why he put the effort forth to instigate her attack. Of course surprisingly, instead of her immediate attack it was more along the lines of the Uchiha taking the first strike into his own hands. Hitotsu's interest grew, such a good take on the situation. If you can't escape the fight why not strike first? It wasn't long before the other who was present had approached the man clad in white to speak to him. Hitotsu initially had little interest in him, between the Uchiha and the Jashinist his intrigue had been split already. Initially the other had seemed a bit like perhaps they were hiding something, but people hiding things weren't that much of interest to him.
That changed a bit in the last moment. Not due to anything he had said. After all approaching and asking if instigating a fight between two people was a good idea was normal behavior. No, instead a feeling is what peaked the interest of the white clad man in this other person. Almost as if someone he's recently met was telling him to take some form of interest in him. "Ah, pushing people into fighting is never a good idea. However it sure is an interesting one." He explained, shifting his eyes to the side to look at him before whispering. "Do you by chance have some relation to snakes?" He questioned, trusting the instinct of his recently obtained powers and allies. And considering who his new allies were....why would they be interested in anything other than someone related to them in some way?
The whistling sound of Himitsu's arrow seemed to come from all sides...and then from nowhere at all as it grazed Akira's shoulder while she tried to dodge to no avail. It was hard to avoid something when you did not know where it was coming from. The wily Uchiha had seemed to have gotten the upper hand on Akira in that moment, especially now that she had been struck deaf by the Arrow. She had just enough time though to form a hand-seal in order to brace herself as the wind dragon jutsu rolled her over. [Iryojutsu: Cell Regeneration A-Rank]
Akira stood back up and dusted herself off, though she seemed sort of calm despite the direct attempt to assassinate her right out of the gate. 'Guess I should give the b*****d some credit...He scratched me.', she thought to herself before taking a deep breath and slamming her scythe into the ground. She felt slightly dizzy though as the wind jutsu seemed to throw off her center of gravity. Himitsu's sharingan eyes would be able to see that while he had hit his mark, Akira's injuries had rapidly regenerated as if she had not been struck at all from the powerful combo attack. Jashinist followers -did- have a way of figuring out how to break the mortal coil.
She had to deal with the problem of Himitsu's hide and go seek game, but fortunately Akira was blessed with a myriad of the elemental proficiencies. With three seals, she knelt down and touched the ground with a palm, feeling the vibrations in the area. Himitsu might have been in a tree, but the tree had roots and those vibrations traveled downward. Now she had an idea of where he was at. She did not need an exact location, and the Jashinist made no move to look his way to tip him off that she knew where he was. [Earth Tremor Sense Technique]
It was time to respond with her counter-offer now that she felt like Himitsu had been allowed to have his fun. "Game over, Baby-Eyes Uchiha!", she shouted, as she had yet to recover from the deafening effect of the arrow. Everything sounded muffled as she formed the signature O-Shaped hand-sign of Dust Release and aimed it in the direction she figured Himitsu was at given her prior sensory jutsu. A length-wise cylinder-shape projected from her and fired outward in his direction instantly, with no lag from the charge up. That was part of what made her so lethal with the technique. The tree and anything in a six mile line would be instantly turned to dust, creating an obvious opening in the tree-line forward.

▰ Cell Regeneration [ Saisei no Saibou ] | Rank A The user forms handseals prior to receiving a blow. Upon being attacked, any damage the technique dealt to the user is automatically healed. Any weapons imparted into the user's body are pushed out. This technique can only be used on techniques A-ranked and below.
▰ Earth Tremor Sense Technique [ Jihibiki Kansei no Jutsu ] | Rank C The user touches the ground with the desired hand, allowing them to sense vibrations within the topic and a targeted topic within the subforum they currently reside in. If sensor class, the target may sense all movement within the subforum.
▰ Fundamental Method: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique | Rank S The user uses Dust Release to create a structure, with a sphere located at its center, between the palms of his hands. The structure expands rapidly in size when being propelled towards its intended target and traps them inside its confines. The sphere then seems to explode with a tremendous amount of force, while the exterior walls of the structure effectively restrict the size of the blast radius, resulting in the destruction of everything and anyone caught within as they are pulverized into minute particles of dust. The technique isn't limited to just affecting physical matter; it can also affect chakra-based defenses Requires one [1] post of time to make the barrier the size and shape needed. In general, the three shapes available are a cube, a cylinder, or a cone. However, any polygon may be formed to direct the explosive force of the inner sphere. This is due to how the walls constrict the disintegration dust and thus direct it. The longest shape possible is the cylinder which can reach up to (10km) in distance. Meanwhile, cone and square-shaped creations can cover up 33 meters cubed.
- Suffering T1 Vertigo and T1 Deafness? [Assumed from Arrow]
Himitsu watched in near disbelief as the woman seemed to shrug off and automatically patch up the damage she'd taken from his arrow and wind dragon. The only reason he'd had any time to be shocked her next attack instantly disintegrated his dragon was his sharingan. His Piercing Lens was able to tip him off to some kind of jutsu she was firing from her hands. The heightened reflexes gave him the speed he needed to activate his [Fuuton: Shunshin no Jutsu], narrowly avoiding being turned to dust along with everything else behind him. "What... the hell... was that...?" The boy wondered to himself as he watched the destruction from above. He took little precaution in his landing as he crashed back down into the lower branches. Once he'd landed on a sturdy one, he began moving around quickly from branch to branch. Himitsu had no clue how she'd found him, but at least this way maybe it'd be harder for her to do it again.
While moving in circles around the clearing, he took advantage of the genjutsu he was certain he'd inflicted on her. "Too slow..." The Uchiha's voice would ring out from all over the tree line surrounding the clearing, echoing from far off into the woods, and inches from Akira's ears. Some voices overlapped, some rang out clearly above the others, some seemed almost to whisper. Himitsu used this time to think of his next move that didn't involve harming everyone in the area, but his concern for the pair waned as he spotted them chatting casually from the sidelines. "One begged for this, and the other should've left by now if he's so scared..." The boy made a quick one-handed seal with his left hand and took a deep, slow breath in, filling his lungs completely before blasting that air from his lungs through the seal. From his seal launched his [Vacuum Great Sphere] Technique, directly at Akira. He continued to move after releasing it, trying not to get caught simply sitting still a few feet away again. Once the technique was closer to the target, he made a few more seals and flooded the clearing with his [Electric Fog], hoping to set himself up for later.

Techniques Used: ▰ Wind Release: Instant Movement Technique [ Fuuton: Shunshin no Jutsu ] | Rank D [-5 Chakra] Nearly exactly like the Maruton version of Shunshin no Jutsu, this iteration lifts the user into the air, allowing for flight over the same distance as the technique it's based on, as well as releases a small burst of air upon use that acts as back current preventing airborne poisons and wind release ninjutsu from impeding the users movements.

▰ Vacuum Great Sphere [ Shinkuu Taigyoku ] | Rank S [-80 Chakra] The user inhales deeply and expels one large, penetrating wind bullet that is fifty feet in diameter.

Because of this vacuum effect the jutsu lacks it's ordinary weakness to the fire element.
▰ Electric Fog [ Dendou Enmu ] | Rank B [-20 Chakra] The user forms the required hand signs, creating a blanket of thin cloud like mist that covers a forty foot area.

Hitotsu's head turned at the two of them flung jutsu at one another. The white haired male nodded, he seemed satisfied with what was displayed before him, at least satisfied with the boy's display. His hand raised into the air, chakra flowing out of his hand and through the clearing into an invisible dome to all but Himitsu. Then with a snap of his fingers the vacuum sphere would disappear from the air. The fog would find itself forced away as well, and then the dome would disappear from Himitsu's vision as well. "Alright, that's enough." Hitotsu said as he would approach the Uchiha boy. His expression unchanging, however his tone retained the air of confidence and almost arrogance that it did when he first showed up. "You're pretty good, interesting I guess. I am Hitotsu." He finally officially introduced himself, holding his hand out in offer of a handshake.
