Mission name: Challenge of the Grandest kind
Mission rank: EVENT
Objective: Defeat Takeminakata at his own game
Location: Namehage Festival
Reward: 10 Tickets
Mission description: A great spirit Takeminakata boasts within the sumo ring, undefeated and a former reigning champion of the spirit world he offers a piece of his many riches to those from the mortal world who can best him.
Mission details: Within a ten meter diameter sand ring, under the rules of Sumo wrestling you’re to beat your opponent without the use of projectile jutsu, though Takeminakata has no arms, he will use tremors and  earthquakes as well as his shoulders and immeasurable density in an attempt to cause his opponent to lose his footing. Takeminakata stands at 9 feet in height and is solid and Adonic in build, an opponent with lower than SS rank strength fighting him would have to find a means to do so without the use of raw strength.
Takeminakata:

'So it came to this...‘


Takeminikata, also known as Minakatatomi-no-Kami. A Shinto god who appears in the Kojiki and derivative accounts. These sources portray him as one of the sons of Ōkuninushi, god of Izumo and lord of Ashihara no Nakatsukuni. When the gods of Takamagahara sent Takemikazuchi and another messenger to demand that Ōkuninushi relinquish his authority over the Ashihara no Nakatsukuni to the progeny of the sun goddess Amaterasu, he asked to confer with two sons of his first before giving his decision. While the first son, Kotoshironushi, immediately accepted their demands and advised his father to do likewise, the second, Takeminakata, carrying an enormous rock on the fingertips of one hand, challenged Takemikazuchi to a test of strength, grabbing the messenger's arm. Upon having his arm seized by Takeminakata, Takemikazuchi transformed it into an icicle and then a sword blade, preventing Takeminakata from holding onto it. In return, Takemikazuchi grasped Takeminakata's arms, crushing them like a reed and throwing it aside. The injured Takeminakata then fled in fear, pursued by the heavenly messenger. Upon arriving at "the sea of Suwa in the province of Shinano", Takeminakata begged for his life, vowing not to leave Shinano at any pretext. Since those days, Takeminakata was known to loathe Takemikazuchi vehemently, while the test of their strength against one another was considered the birth of Sumo wrestling...


'How was Hanbei to beat the GOD who invented the sport at his own game?'

'So, what was a mortal to do?‘

Hanbei would look at the nine foot god, power pouring from his body, though he would imagine only the most powerful ninja in the world would be able to tussle with him, he doubted that were he to win, he would have 'allowed' them to do so. Hanbei watched a couple of other ninja deal with the king of this sport, it was more or less not in question that he was simply having a good time, like an elder uncle playing with his grandchildren, laughing as they struggled against his legs as he either walked them to the exit or brushed them off without the slightest hint of an effort. It was like a cat playing with mice... or even worse, like a tiger. There was no chance a mortal being would be able to contend with this piece of divinity. So, approaching the arena, Hanbei would take one look up at the god as the horned creature would look upon the boy, thinking him to be a girl like many others he would crack a smile, crouching down to look into the face of Hanbei as 'she' would look up in turn with her bright violet and black ringed eyes. The god would see them, think for but a moment as it would seem that a great being had crossed into his arena. Power would swell as he would stomp once, creating an earthquake that literally shook the heavens as he would stare down at hanbei again.

''It seems my play here is over, the sage stands before me yet again, a challenge truly of the greatest kind seems to have befallen us... so, great sage of the mortal realm, shall we bout?''

'It seemed a battle of gods would begin.‘


But just as the lips of Takeminikata split, the grand circle spread around them as the rice was cast in the air and Hanbei would look to move to take his stance, lowering herself as the god would take its pose. The divine ki that was pouring off it was quite honestly earth shattering. Though as he rose his knee to bring it down, just after the matches beginning. Hanbei would look to the being, saying in no uncertain terms that while he would have preferred to match with Takemikazuchi, it would seem that a match with him would have to suffice for the mean time, so, it would be best for them to hurry along... The attempt was to make him mad, psych him out, make him charge then maybe hanbei could hit him with a needle... But golden fire would erupt from the eyes of the divine being as he would bring his foot down, Hanbei would jump in that instant, the ground fissuring earthquake ripped a trench as far as the eye could see, cutting a mountain in two with the gods' wrath, turning the earth they were standing on into a crater as the creatures within it were caught by other Okami that were present.


''HOW DARE YOU!? YOU THINK ME NO CHALLENGE!?''


Hanbei, although caught, the close proximity to the blast had shattered her ribs, ruptured her lungs, broken both of her knee caps and dislocate her shoulder. Not to mention the friction having cause ebrasions to more than 30 percent of her body. It had taken all of Hanbei's chakra focused into a single point with a medical technique in order to survive the blast intact, and frankly, it was a wonder that it had worked to this extent. Though, as the jutsu went on cooldown, Hanbei was lowered to the arena as if by a great wind, he couldn't help but see the destroyed landscape, then finally, a tatter of rope from the sacred circle... THAT WAS IT!

"No, great Kami... I consider you the greatest challenge a mortal could ever have... UGH UGH..! But also, your anger was your opponent... not me..."

Pointing down, the Kami would look in horror, as it was him who had destroyed the sacred circle with a quake while hanbei was still inside it... doing so disqualified him as a contestant, making Hanbei the victor. The being bowed slightly, thanking the child of the sage for the lesson, then with but a wave of its hand, Hanbei was recovered, gold divine silks from his treasury draped across her form of near infinite quality as he apologized. Hanbei bowed low in turn, offering a drink to the deity as he would decline, feeling at dishonor for his behaviour as he would repair the arena. Hanbei would nod graciously and leave... leaving in her wake... a tale of how the great sage... outsmarted a tectonic GOD. Yet, i reality, it was how a boy bit off more than he could chew, in a vain attempt to psych out his opponent, its rage obliterated a mountain and half the area, almost killing him, then upon seeing the result, bluffed his way out while half dead...

A story of the ages, for sure.

[Fin 750/750]
