"It's gotta be done." Nujabes murmured.
After weaving a few hand seals, Nujabes shouted, "Lightning Release: Lightning Slayer!" He grunted in effort as the massive amount of Chakra formed in his hand. Black Lightning erupted from his hand. He growled in pain as it began rip through his glove. "Haaaa!" He screamed as he slammed the large amount of chakra against the shield.
(Here's the Description of Black Lightning
Black Lightning is a unique form of Lightning Release. As the name suggests, the lightning is black in color. The ability to utilize the black electricity was possessed by the Third Raikage, who passed it onto Darui. Black Lightning is immensely more powerful than regular lightning release, but possesses heavy risks for the user, and any uncontrolled user will immediately backfire upon him and, most likely, be fatal.

Hikaru's monster form continued to bash at the sheild, tearing it to shreds because the fire chakra was stronger than the water.
With the shield torn open, the water clone was wide open for attack, it took out some kunai for protaction and landed on the ground underneath it. Ryouichi kept running as fast as she could, making the distance between her and them greater with each step.
Nujabes stormed it with Lightning Slayer in Hand, with a final push of effort, he made a direct attack.
the clone vanished and water droplets fell to the ground. Ryouichi was too far away to be seen or sensed, and she reached the base safely.
Nujabes dropped to his knees, clutching his burned and ripped hand as smoke trailed. He snarled as he stood up.
Hikaru watched in some sort of releived manner as he faded back to his original form.
"Damn it, she got away." Nujabes growled.
"We need to find her!" He declared as he took a swig of his water from a canteen.
Ryouichi sat down on a cushion, leaning against the wall of her base. She cursed as she realized she had left her mask back there, but decided to wait until later to get it. Her ear piece rang in her ear and she winced as she anticipated the stream of words that would come when she told him that she couldn't kill them.
"We have to get moving." He informed Hikaru.
He began to look for signs, whether being footprints or broken branches.
He was infuriated with himself.
"That was a rookie mistake, she should of gotten away!" Nujabes roared, slamming his fist through a tree.
Hikaru watched in silence...there was nothing he could do...
"If you didn't hesitate this wouldn't of happened." Nujabes declared, his voice with a sharp edge to it.
He found a lead on her direction and bounded after her.
Hikaru growled at him, "Be quiet, you didn't have the feelings I did!" He spat, following a few feet away.
"You're a Shinobi of Konoha first, you know this!" Nujabes retorted.
"You let your emotions get in your way, it weakens you." He added in a rather cool tone.
Hikaru flicked his shuriken around in his hand..."don't mess with my problems..." he hissed, looking at Nujabes, Sharingan wasn't so strong, that was how it was ever since Gorudengan had come to the village.
Nujabes laughed, "Are you honestly threatening me? This isn't just your problem, she was my teammate." He replied. He sped ahead, a Kunai slipping into his right hand.
Hikaru laughed, "no, but I'm telling you not to utulize my weaknesses or I'll surpass them..." he gripped ten shuriken, five in each hand...
"I'm not utilizing them, I'm wanting you to get over them. You're my teammate, my brother, I have no wish to fight you, but it seems you've decided that fate for me" Nujabes spoke calmly.
Hikaru shrugged, "we'll just have to see the outcome..." he muttered.
"Calm down, think about what you're about to do, you'd be betraying your village. This is for the good of our people, or do they not matter?" Nujabes questioned.
