"man this is out of hand, he said that the kōjin want to meet here but I have been here for the past three hours, and the damn kōjin has not showed up", Shinra was sitting down on a log with his hands on his head.
This time around Shinra was wearing a grey hoodie and a black pants with pairs of shoes, he was in one of the elite's training area deep in the woods, Shinra got off the log and started mimicking his chuunin sensei.
"the kōjin are the elites of the ninja clan, they are high standards ninja and role models to every ninja, role model my ass, who give a fuck anyway, beside, I was able to take on a kōjin", Shinra smile with his eyes closed.
"do you have to brag about it? ".
*um* "Sora? What are you doing here?", he was surprised to see the Nosuke boy.
"the same reason you are here", Sora was wearing a yellow shirt and red short.
Shinra smile *oh* "yeah I see, they said we are going to be punished by a kōjin".
" dammit, another punishment after my dad and mom's punishment? This is annoying ".
"your parents punished you? "
"of course, my dad is extremely strict and made me under go some intense survival exercises throughout the night, after that my mom made me clean up the whole Nosuke estate", Sora frown.
*wow* " that is too much", Shinra said.
"yeah", Sora then sat on the log and exhaled, "it seems like you have been here for quite a while".
" I have been here for three hours", Shinra crossed his hands in annoyance.
*hmm*
Shinra sense of hearing kicks in as he heard a distinct sound *huh* "I think someone is coming, I can hear their footsteps", Shinra look around and started sniffing the air.
"what are you doing? ", the brown head boy was a bit confused.
"the scent is a bit familiar".
"so you can hear and smell things, like an animal? ".
" not like an animal ok? I just have great sense", Shinra corrected.
"but you were not aware that I was coming", Sora questioned.
"sorry, too many animal scents in the area, and your steps are no different from theirs either", Shinra said with a smile.
"did you just say I smell like an animal? And move like them? ", Sora was now annoyed.
"yeah it's the fact", Shinra grin despite the annoyance oozing off of Sora *huh* he moved his gaze to a tree as a girl walk out, it was the girl from the hot springs, she was dressed in a white crop top and a short black skirt, with fishnet socks and heels, Shinra became stiffen upon seeing her, her expression also changed the moment she recognized Shinra.
"it seems like I was not the only one summoned here", Kaguya say glaring at Shinra.
" (who's she? And what's wrong with Shinra? His behavior just took a swift turn)", Sora move his gaze from Kaguya to Shinra.
"hi there ", Shinra tried to smile as if everything was alright.
"what's up with the hi? pervert", she said bluntly.
*Umm* Sora furrow his eyes.
" Hey cut it off, I'm not a pervert ", Shinra defended himself.
" Do you guys know each other? ", Sora ask.
"Well, we kinda pumped into each other once", Shinra said scratching his cheek.
"When you say pumped into each other, you mean spying on me while I was bathing?", Kaguya was still offended.
"You were spying on her?", Sora was dumbstruck.
"It was an accident I am telling you, I was just walking by", Shinra defended.
"Walking through the ladies hot springs? How is that an accident?".
*Huh* all three of them spun around to see a boy around their age, he was having a blue hair that was tied above his waist, he was dressed in a silver garment with dragon pattern on it and a black pants, he was leaning on a tree with his eyes closed, he open his eyes and they were deep blue.
*Huh* "it's lord Shinokaze", Kaguya said, all three of them bow showing respect.
"(Why is he here? I thought we were summoned by a kōjin?)", Sora questioned himself as they straighten up.
*Hm* Shinra scoffed, his gaze was now a bit hard, a gust of wind came from nowhere almost knocking then teens off their feet *ah! Tch* Shinra grit his teeth trying to stand his ground.
"(Where did this powerful wind come from?)", just like Shinra, Sora was trying to stand his ground.
Shinokaze was still leaning on the tree unfazed, the wind suddenly stopped and right in their midst was non other then the orange color haired kōjin.
"It seems like you four are finally here, I have been waiting, now that you are her, let's begin", Hayate said with a stern look on his face.
***
Deep in Akakawa mountain, a ninja was panting heavily, he was leaning on a tree, his body was covered in cuts.
"(I still can't believe everyone is dead, and I'm the only one alive, as a jōnin I should have been able to protect them, it's all my fault they are dead, damn those idiotic samurai)", the ninja thought.
" Hey hey, where are you hiding? It's not fun running off like that you know", a demon was walking around looking for the ninja," I thought we were having fun, all right I promise to be easy on you this time around, and the other demons are not here to bully you, the samurais can't bully you since they are all dead just like your comrades ", the demon said as he sniffed the air.
"(Damn)", the ninja look up staring into the sky *huff* "(this is it, i have to shove my blade down his throat if it is the last thing I do)".
"Come on, you know I can smell you right? So quit messing around and show me how much of a ninja you are", the demon smiled a nonchalant smile.
The ninja tied his headband with the kanji for jōnin on his head, he covered his lower face with his mask and pulled his hoodie over his head, he picked his sword and walked out, he was holding a kunai on his other hand.
"My my, you show do have guts for really coming out of hiding", the demon chuckle evilly, his eyes were glowing yellow with vertical pupils.
"I'm done with your games, warlord or not, I am ending you here and now", the ninja took a fighting stance.
"So you are still breathing" *eh* three other demons with yellow eyes appears.
*Tch* the ninja grit his teeth and clenched his sword and kunai tighter.
"Man, you waste too much time, now they are here", the first demon said still smiling.
"I don't give a fuck about your number, I am going to slay all four of you".
"Go ahead sucker", the thin demon said like a maniac.
*Ah!!!!!!* The ninja charge after them and launched the kunai at the one on the left," die!! ", the birds in the area all flew into the sky.
***
"Now, what should I do with you four?", Hayate ask in a frightening way, Shinra was shaking out of fear.
"(Is this what a kōjin is like, he is completely different from the one I and Sora....)", sweat run down his face.
"Before I proceed with your punishment, I will preview your crime", Hayate look over to the violet haired girl and she almost went pale," you must be Kaguya Yakushi, am I right?".
"Yes sir", she quietly answered.
"I heard you disobeyed your supervisors in the hospital, what really happened? I want to hear it from you", Hayate said.
"I didn't really do anything wrong, I just treated a sick patient", Kaguya explain.
"your act of treating the patient, was it against the hospital policy? ", Hayate ask.
"they said they would tend to him but there wasn't much time, that's why I decided on my own", she said to Hayate.
"(What she did was not a bad thing if you ask me)", Sora frown.
"I heard this is not your first time going against the hospital policy, and for that, you will be severely punished, do you understand?", Hayate said sternly.
" Yes sir ", Kaguya said, fear radiating off of her, Shinokaze was still leaning on the tree unfazed, Sora was glaring at Hayate from the side of his eyes, Shinra on the other hand was still shivering in fear.
"Now for you, Shinokaze Hoshino", Hayate called.
"You dare address me without showing any respect, how isolating", Shinokaze said taking everyone aback.
"(Damn that kid)" *Tch* Hayate grit his teeth.
"(How did I end up in a situation like this, this guys are annoying)" *Huff* Sora exhaled *umm* he frown upon seeing Shinra shivering like a frightened rabbit.
"Hey brat", Hayate was now leaning on the same tree as Shinokaze.
*Huh* they all gasp at his speed, Shinokaze stumbled away not expecting Hayate's approach.
"(Man he's fast)", Shinra was amazed.
"(How did he? I didn't even see him coming)", Shinokaze frown out of annoyance and disbelief.
"Look, you can mess with other kōjin or chiefs of clans, but not with me, I am different from them, I don't care if you are the son of lord Sennin, I can drag you to hell, not like your father care anyway" *hm* Hayate scoffed," for hitting a chief and a kōjin, you will face the worst humiliation of your life".
*Tch* Shinokaze tighten his fist and his knuckles started turning white.
"And finally, you two", Hayate's gaze dropped on Shinra and Sora.
*Ugh* Shinra straighten up.
"Great", Sora muttered.
