RL POST (locked to Tobi, Kabuto, and Kisame if he wants to join)

The past few two weeks had been practically sleepless. Heh, what did a god need with sleep anyway? Perhaps he’d been stepping out of line by irking so many upon his entrance… but there were times when it was so incredibly irresistible. Especially what with being introduced to so many unique talents and abilities. Everything was so… new

Orochimaru's own serpentine eyes locked onto the single gleaming orb that could be seen behind the mask. How quaint. It seemed that regressively childish attitude was fading in his opponent. Perhaps he'd truly gotten under the other man's skin. Well... that wouldn't really surprise him, but after being constantly teased and irked by the man, Orochimaru was more than satisfied to feel the aura of faint agitation.

Tobi didn't seem to be making the initial move. Too bad. Orochimaru almost hoped the Akatsuki member would pull another ridiculous move like last time. It would make things much easier, but oh well. A challenge was always good.

The Sannin's expression hardened a bit, his eyes narrowing, more out of anticipating delight than irritation. The animalistic gaze seemed to glow behind the blanket of shadows caused by the trees. "Tonight we're going to find out who you really are, boy." His voice now was something more of a snake-like hiss, as opposed to his typically calm bemused tone. That said, his jaw dropped, mouth widening as if some sort of roar were about to erupt from him. Instead, snakes, much larger than last time, spilled out by the dozens, soaring toward the man in the tree.

"More snakes, Oro-chan?" Tobi taunted, leaping out of the way of the snakes. One managed to tear across his side, leaving not a mark but a tear in the fabric of his Akatsuki garb.

"Aww, look what you did!" the masked nin cried out, examining the damage. Well, if Orochimaru was going to be unoriginal, so would Tobi. Why not continue that little sequence he'd been working on in the previous battle?

He performed the same stolen-Waterfall jutsu, sending another vortex toward Orochimaru. Excitement for Tobi meant the opposite for Madara. The Uchiha had felt something different in Orochimaru as soon as he'd laid eyes on him this night, the way the other shinobi stood, had talked. Even the fact that he made the first move this time. He was wary, to say the least.

Tch. The man was just as crafty with dodging as he'd been during their last battle. Well, that minute tear in the fabric was only the start of things.

Next came the oh-so-familiar water vortex. This time however, it didn't catch him by surprise. Orochimaru lept backwards and up onto a branch. Promptly after, he began bounding through the tree branches. His moves were incredibly nimble and agile, his movements practically soundless.

He thrust his arms forward, allowing his chakra to fluently spill into his attack. Futon. A violent wind crashed through the trees, leveling some of them and sailing towards Tobi.
