Chapter 7
….
With Yosuke
Yosuke moved out of the way of a torrent of flames as it spread out incenirating the surrounding area.
"So you escaped my flames? So what! I'm gonna totally incinerate you!" Spoke his enemy with a mad look in his eyes. You could tell something wasn't quite right with him.
The enemy had brown hair and brown eyes that had a dangerous glint to them. He was Kazuya the Flame Fist. He was more than exceptional at fire based ninjutsu. He was a former Konoha shinobi
Yosuke narrowed his eyes before throwing some Shuriken; Kazuya laughed as he brought a Kunai out and deflected the shuriken.
"It's gonna take more than that to bring me down!"
Yosuke of course knew that. Yukio wouldn't hang around weak shinobi after all. It looked like he was gonna have to go all out if he wanted to leave this battle alive.
The two shinobi glared at each other before meeting together exchanging punches and kicks all over the battlefield. Yosuke could tell just how powerful Kazuya was as he couldn't get a hit in.
The former Konoha shinobi let his fist soar through the air however Yosuke caught his fist with an open palm. Kazuya looked surprised before wincing as Yosuke gripped his hand tightly.
"You-" Kazuya was cut off as Yosuke threw him.
Yosuke smiled before going through hand seals.
"Water Release; Water Dragon Jutsu!"
'I got him! He won't be able to move in mid-air!' Yosuke thought
Kazuya looked at Yosuke and grinned before his legs turned into flame jets enabling him to hover in mid air. Yosuke widened his eyes as he really didn't expect something like that. He must have trained a lot to have a technique like that!
"Well what do ya think? Pretty cool right?" Kazuya grinned
Yosuke frowned and didn't say anything. There was no need to entertain idiots after all.
Kazuya laughed as he flew at Yosuke at insane speeds. Yosuke got ready, dual Kunai's at the ready. He narrowed his eyes before slowly water coated his two Kunai's . Yosuke grinned as just before he reached him he slashed his Kunai through the air causing two Water slashes to form and speed towards Kazuya.
The flame maniac cried out in pain before falling to the ground. Yosuke walked closer, he needed to take advantage of this moment. He gripped his Kunai before plunging them both downwards, however he stopped just as he was about to pierce his heart. Kazuya's body began to glow….
Yosuke narrowed his eyes before jumping back because a moment later flames shot upwards. If he had stayed where he was previously he would've been dead meat. Literally.
Kazuya laughed maniacally as he stood up, he could see that he was hurt from the slice attack he dealt out but obviously he wasn't down for the count.
"It would be boring if it was too easy." Said Yosuke smiling a little.
"Now your speaking my language! Bring it on! Show me what a Kiri shinobi is capable of!"
The two warriors looked at each other before running and exchanging punches.
...
Back in Kiri
A man wearing a dark cloak walked through the streets of Kirigakure No Sato. The man chuckled.
'Master. I'll follow your orders to the letter! Like you said…let there be chaos!' The cloaked man thought as he continued walking. 'But really…these people have no idea of what's in store for them in the future!'
…..
With Yosuke
Kazuya and Yosuke breathed heavily as they jumped away from each other. Kazuya was pretty tired out, he was beginning to move sluggishly. He may be a Jounin level shinobi but even he had his limits. They were at it for half an hour now.
"What are you waiting for?! Let's continue!!" He said energetically.
"How your still they energized I'll never understand." Said Yosuke. "But yeah let's continue. After I take you out I have to help the others."
Kazuya grinned before running forward, a moment later so did Yosuke. Kazuya threw a few punches, however Yosuke expected this as he evaded the punches, suddenly a sharpened water blade made entirely out of water formed in his right arm.
Kazuya widened his eyes as his heart was pierced, dying instantly. Yosuke pulled out causing blood to splatter onto him and to the ground.
Yosuke sighed. "Now to help the others."
….
Yosuke gathered his fallen comrades and healed them. He was trained a little in medical ninjutsu . Ruka had a mild case of chakra depletion but after a few hours of sleep she would live; Eiji had a hole in his leg and had quite a bit of blood loss but after healing it a bit and stopping the blood from flowing he was gonna be alright.
Yosuke looked at his lined up comrades before sighing as he looked towards where he sensed Rikuto and Yukio battling.
"Be careful Rikuto-sama. No telling what that guy is capable of."
…..
With Rikuto
Rikuto cried out in pain as he received a punch to the chest with a Jade-enshrouded fist. As the punch connected to him he felt immense pain. Yukio appeared behind him but this time Rikuto was ready for him as he countered and sent him flying with a spin wheel kick
Yukio chuckled a little bit as he wiped blood from the side of his lip. "Not bad little boy, but if you wanna keep up with me your gonna have to up your game.
Rikuto frowned as he charged him and threw punches at him at high speeds however he dodged them all surprising the former Iwa shinobi. "What is your goal! Why are you so close to Kiri?"
Yukio chuckled. "Your just gonna have to force it out of me." He said playfully
Rikuto stayed silent as he blocked and countered a few of his kicks. He punched him dead center in the chest sending him skidding back.
"What was that supposed to-"
"Wind release; Great breakthrough jutsu!"
Yukio widened his eyes as the wind sent him flying and cut him up a little bit. 'Damn. He's good! I guess I can't afford to hold back against this boy.' Suddenly his entire body turned into Jade crystal causing Rikuto to get on the defensive.
"Well looks like your going all out." Said Rikuto. "It's a shame I won't be able to show you my new Wind jutsu, that being said I'll go with my Hyouton techniques."
"Do you really think that'll work against me?"
"Only one way to find out." Said Rikuto as he grinned before going through hand seals.
"Ice Release; Ice Dragon Jutsu!"
Yukio eyed the technique and smirked, crossing his arms in an X. The cocky bastard was gonna take the hit. Rikuto glared at his enemy as the Ice dragon opened its mouth, eyes glowing red before chomping down, when it did its teeth shattered.
Rikuto narrowed his eyes before reforming its teeth and willed the ice dragon to continue. The dragon proceeds to continue chewing and thankfully Yukio began to cry out in pain as the ice dragon continued to chew on him and swallowed him as the ice dragon traveled along the landscape. After awhile the dragon disappeared leaving a bloody Yukio.
The former Iwa shinobi slowly stood up shakily causing Rikuto to raise a brow. How this guy got up after being chewed on and swallowed was beyond him. Rikuto understood why his technique worked. Jade was a strong defense but if hit hard enough it would shatter.
"I won't lose….my ambition won't end here! I'll kill everyone! You're all gonna die do you hear me?!" Exclaimed Yukio
Rikuto frowned.
Yukio began to go through hand seals.
"Jade Release; Bloodbath!"
Rikuto widened his eyes as Jade crystal spiked up all over the battlefield. He managed to escape most of them but one of them pierced his shoulder. He cried out in pain before jumping back holding his shoulder in pain as he glared at the enemy.
Yukio smirked. "That'll teach you, damn brat." He said
The pain was unimaginable for Rikuto but he fought through it. He had to.
Rikuto let go of his wound before retrieving a set of Kunai's from his. Pouch before launching it at Yukio. He cried out in pain before falling to the ground.
The Uzumaki walked forward. "Why did you lead ta group of-"
"We go by the Rogues."
"How befitting."
"And we're not through here."
"What? Are you crazy? Your death is imminent."
"That might be true, however…"
Rikuto watched the enemy closely.
"I have another agent somewhere in Kiri."
The son of Uzumaki Naruto widened his eyes.
"And so…my will lives on…the plan will be carried out…" Yukio took his last breath
"Oi! What plan! Yu-" Rikuto frowned. 'He's dead' The 9 year old thought as he looked at his shaking hands. It was the first time he had ever taken a life, despite how evil he was he was still human. An evil human but still a human none the less.
"Rikuto-sama!" The boy in question turned his head to face Yosuke who ran at him. "You actually beat him…no wonder Terumi-sama and Mizukage-sama has so much faith in you."
Rikuto smiled. "How are the others?"
Yosuke went and told him about their teammates conditions which caused Rikuto to smile.
"That's good. However, I don't think they're in any condition to go anywhere."
"What about you? Rikuto-sama I don't think your in any shape to go anywhere either." Yosuke said as he saw Rikuto's clothes which were in tatters with his shirt being ripped showing half of his chest which was rather developed for a 9 year old.
"Well, I'll admit I might have a few broken bones but I think it can wait. It's not life threatening. The wound in my shoulder hurts like hell though."
"I can fix that." Yosuke said as Rikuto looked confused
"I've trained a little bit in medical ninjutsu." Yosuke clarified. Rikuto nods and allowed him to heal his shoulder. "Also I contacted Kiri. It won't be long until Kiri arrives with some medical shinobi to transport the injured."
"That's good." Said Rikuto as Yosuke nods.
….
After a few hours About six medical shinobi arrived and transported the injured to the village. Rikuto closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of wind hitting his face. It was so relaxing he actually fell asleep the entire trip to Kiri. When he opened his eyes next it was to a white ceiling. Looking around he noticed it was a hospital. The raven looked outside and recognized the buildings. He was back in Kiri.
"That was quite the mission, eh Rikuto?"
"Temari-shishou!"
The blonde smiled
"How long have I been out?"
"Two days." Temari replied.
Rikuto widened his eyes. "Two days? huh…" he really didn't think he had been asleep for that long.
A few minutes later Chojuro and Mei entered with smiles on their faces.
"I'm so proud of you Rikuto."
"You did well."
Rikuto scratched the side of his face and smiled.
"Now tell us Rikuto what did you find out in your battle?" Asked Chojuro
"Well.." he went ahead and told them what had transpired in his battle.
"He had Jade release? That's rare. If I recall the ones who carried Jade release were all eliminated."
Rikuto stared the Mizukage directly in the eye. "There's more. According to him there's another agent here in Kiri planning who knows what."
Chojuro and Mei widened they're eyes.
"I'm sure it'll be fine. He can't hide forever." Said Rikuto. "We took out the Prime members of the Rogue's. I'd love to help but…I'd really like to meet my family!"
Chojuro chuckled. "Of course."
"When you heal up, I'll escort you myself." Said Mei
"I'll be going with you. It is where I live afterall." Said Temari
Rikuto nods. "But I feel fine! I don't even feel any pain anymore!"
Chojuro looked at the boy. 'Could it be that…?'
"A few more days." Mei said. "Please?"
Rikuto sighed. "Fine."
Mei smiled.
