14 ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT

I make it to Aiya house within the hour just in time before she starts cooking like normal, I then knock on the door to see if she's at home. But right after I knock on the door my heightened senses start flaring on all cylinders with the activation of my observation skill.

{Observation}(ACTIVE)

I then on instinct bend my body backwards as far as I can, while doing that unsheathe ichimonji then I pierce through the centers of the dozen shuriken that flew over my head and with the momentum already built up in the shuriken I turn me in a 180-degree motion and fling made the projectiles back in the direction on the thrower.

*Clang, clang, clang, clan, clang*

I notice as soon as I threw them back a dozen more came at knocked the same one's off their trajectory with ease. 'Shit this person is way above my pay grade I gotta get Aiya and myself out of here'. I then use my newfound chakra control in combination of my lightning cloak that I made up jump backwards with all of my might breaking the wooden door behind me and dashing towards the kitchen.

In a matter of seconds, I can feel that the attacker was already a few seconds behind me but luckily Aiya was just making some food in the kitchen and without a care I grab the girl and throw her over me should like a sack on potatoes and jump through the rear glass window that every apartment has that above 4 story in height.

While I begin to free fall, I yelled out to Aiya "Ketsuryugan now", while falling her eyes turn into a mixture of black and red with a line cross her pupil which she soon began surveying the area for the assailant.

By the time I hit the ground flooring it towards the kage office I take out ichinmonji out again just to have the bonus added to my speed which was reaching the minimum requirement for special jonin. As I am running towards the office, I start to become blur of blue light as I pump more and more chakra into my legs while taking every single detour through an alley to try and escape this assailant. Put as I launch my body off wall into the air fly over 3 meters a paper bomb suddenly appears next to my side .

*BOOM*

A loud explosion can be heard all across the village alerting all the patrols in the area which soon begin to dash towards the sound.

With a grown I quickly get to my feet and help Aiya up as fast as possible while unsheathing my tanto and handing it to her. " Here use it for now and flow your chakra through it to extend the length" I say while looking in every direction for the assailant.

"Nox let's get back-to-back for a better view and keep close so I can make an earth dome for protection". I just gave a node as I listened to her and from there time move slowly as every second felt like an hour. I could hear every sound in a 15-meter radius due to my active skill of observation, as soon as I heard the sound of a footstep from my 12, I yelled to Aiya " water style now " .

We both in almost a perfect union launch our jutsu's toward the target with Aiya yelling out first" Water style: flowing stream" then a flood of water emerged from her mouth as the entire alley way get flooded with water.

But after a moment of her launch, I yell out" Lightning style: electrical discharge", I then clasp my hands together and slam them into the ground which caused the surge of lightning to flow thew the water frying all in its way. After the combination jutsu was preformed Aiya used doujutsu to control the water that she released with the help of an iron packet in her mouth made all of the water suddenly swirl like a tornado and shredded the entire area leaving lumps of body parts and blood throughout the alley way.

But as soon as the swirling ended over a dozen anbu, and local patrols converged on our location and extracted us to a holdout shelter where we would be questioned on what happened by the Hokage himself.

As soon as we arrived we were placed in a room with only three chairs and a table between us two. " Well Aiya that was a terrible encounter we just had but look at the bright side at least we won't have to use all of our money to refurbish our home since you can't burn down the house from here".

But to my surprise she didn't get angry or anything of that sort since I was trying to lighten the mood she look at me while twirling her hair.

" Well um actually when you saved me I still had the oven on with the food and a pot of oils that I forgot to take out so we may have to go furniture shopping again".

I could only look at her in horror due to my soul leaving my body while think of all of my money that I have saved over the years going to vanish due to buy some stupid furniture that I never understood even in my previous life why it cost so damn much.

But the silence soon ended as the hokage entered through the door and sate down while smoking his pipe with a look of annoyance and pride on his face.

" So you two it seems as though we have much to talk about".
