shit yori betrayed us, i have to find ibuki and fuya. the rest of my team was killed, i should've seen this coming. luckily only about a quarter of the mist village has been killed, we were positioned around the entrance and surrounding buildings of the village, nonetheless if we cant defeat yori, moritomo, and the shadows then the rest of the mist village is doomed. suddenly im swept off my feet by water, i cant breathe, is this a flood? im raised into the air by the water as if someones manipulating it which is probably the case. i propel myself out of the water with a chakra blast and see the destruction below, this end of the village is complete chaos, fires ravage the buildings and they look more like rubble. past the massacre in the rest of the village i see what appears to be people fleeing, some are running in the opposite direction some are running towards the fight. dont come this way you'll die. i realize that im falling and before i hit the ground i make a shield out of chakra, it breaks my fall but i hear a snap, ive broken several ribs.
"yori said you were strong but im impressed, not many people have survived my water vortex" i get up and see a shinobi i dont recognize
"who... are you"
"my name is hatsuden, im known as one of the 10." the 10? what does that mean, i dont know if i should let him talk or if i should kill him, i pick the latter. i make chakra shurikens and throw them at hatsuden, he raises a hand and catches the shurikens in water that he manifests. "you arent going to even let me explain myself?"
"why should i!" i need to kill hatsuden, hes dangerous. i charge chakra into my fist as i run at him, i feint right then swing with a left hook to his side, direct contact. he doesn't even flinch. if i didnt have chakra in my fist cushioning the blow my hand would've been shattered. what the hell is this guy?
"your attacks are pretty weak" hatsuden yawns and i strike him once more, my fist is in pain, it feels like punching a brick wall, i strike again and my knuckles start bleeding, im out of breath. "my turn"
hatsuden hits me in the stomach so hard that i cant breathe, i stumble around gasping for air, hatsuden hits me again in the stomach and this time i vomit.
"this is so much fun!" hatsuden says as he goes for another hit, this time to the jaw. he continues this, stomach, stomach, jaw, stomach, stomach, jaw, and so on. i focus my chakra into the points i know he'll strike and it gives me just enough time to catch my breath without him noticing, he goes for a hit to the jaw but this time im ready, i step back and slide the kunai i keep hidden in my sleeve out and into my hand, i keep pushing my arm forward putting as much chakra as i can into it while still giving me enough to be able to continue fighting. the kunai makes contact with hatsudens fist and it looks almost like slow motion, the kunai and fist make contact and hatsudens not able to react fast enough to be able to shield his hand with chakra from the strike, it slices through his hand completely, looking like a split log right between his middle and ring finger, i keep pushing the kunai towards his head, he manages to jerk his head out of the way just in time for it to slice his cheek open. with his other hand he grabs my arm holding the kunai and pulls down dislocating my shoulder. im blinded by pain but i have one more working arm and he doesn't, i swing at his head with my good arm, its about to make contact but then i notice something, after he had dislocated my shoulder i dropped my kunai, he caught it before it hit the ground, and now i see the knife about to plunge itself directly into my stomach. he ducks down slightly to dodge my hit and i feel the kunai pierce my stomach. the worlds speed goes back to normal and i stumble backwards clutching my stomach, trying to not let stomach acid and blood pour out, i dont have much chakra left. im swept off my feet by water, i see hatsuden holding his good hand up manipulating the water. this is bad, my blood will flow freely in the water and ill die sooner. this might be it, i see shadows advancing on the location and im out of options. i have one last chance at winning this and i dont know if ill even be able to pull it off.
this is it, if this doesn't work im dead. i focus my remaining chakra into my feet and propel myself like a torpedo out of the water, while im in the air i realize that i wont have enough chakra to take control of hatsudens body, the possession jutsu i learned from watching Rōgan wont work. then i have an idea, i make a thread of chakra and shoot it right it hatsuden, he doesn't notice, then i focus every last ounce of chakra in me into my fist. i retract the chakra on the string and hatsuden and i are pulled towards each other, i yell and hatsuden struggles but my fist makes contact with his heart, theres a loud crunch and crack as my fist breaks his ribs, i feel warm blood for a moment and then cold. my fist is through hatsudens chest, his heart exploded on impact and i stand there panting.
thats one down. and then my vision goes out, when it comes back im no longer on the battlefield, im now in a kind of throne room, and sitting on the throne at the end of it is none other than king.
