Intro to Battle

"Waah! Waah!" The baby wailed at its first glimpse of Earth. 2 mysterious figures appeared from out of view of the family. "In time, he will show us," The voices spoke. "His power will be revealed to everyone…"

14 years later…

"Yawn!" Pierre yawned as he awoke. "What a great day for training!" He got up and sprinted down the stairs. "Hey ma, i'm gonna skip breakfast and hit the training field early. See ya!" He dashed outside before his mother could even utter a word. He arrived at his field, kunai and shuriken splattered all over his bullseye targets. He tossed 38 kunai in the air, leaped up, and threw all 38 kunai at the bullseye targets. "Good warmup, now let's start!" He smiled. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" He created 198 shadow clones, all of them surrounding him. "Alright guys, you already know the deal." His face became solemn in tone quickly. He put on his blindfold, and exclaimed, "Begin!". The surrounding clones piled onto Pierre. In a flash he was escaping all their hits with ease. "‎Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb!" Pierre calculated in his head; That probably took out 49 clones. He dodged another hit and sprung into a tree. 'Chameleon Jutsu', he thought. He became invisible. Out of his invisible hands, he brought out 43 paper bombs and instantly hit 43 clones in different areas. "Release!" 88 more clones went up in smoke. 'Time to finish this.' He thought. "Fire Style: Raining Piercing Hellstrikes!" The fire spears rained from the sky, completely burning and eliminating the rest of the clones. He took off his blindfold, and smiled. Suddenly a figure appeared. "Heh. I would expect a workout more advanced for a kage-level shinobi."

"Sorry to disappoint, Cassius."

Cassius smiled, stepping out of the shadow of the tree.

"Anyways, Lord Tenth wants to see you."

"Alright, I'm on my way." Pierre replied.

Ukitake Hokage's Office (10th Hokage)

"Hey Mrs. Himawari! What's the deal this time? Another S-Rank mission?"

"Yes. But your most dangerous one yet." Himawari Uzumaki stated.

"What is it Mrs. Himawari?" He chuckled.

"This is no laughing matter Pierre…" She continued, "We have just received tragic news of the mysterious eradication of almost all Kumogakure shinobi. Apparently it was a swift, silent, and unexpected attack on their village. Reports from other villages say that it was of an new, undiscovered, powerful organization. We need you and a team of our very best kage level shinobi to go and investigate. There, you will be joined by other shinobi from the other shinobi nations."

Pierre was shocked. 'A whole shinobi nation... wiped out like that?' He thought.

"Well, I promise you Mrs. Lord Hokage! I'll get to the bottom of it!" He said as he turned his back to the exit.

"And Pierre," Himawari added, "Please do not engage in any confrontational events. If you see anything suspicous, report your findings back on this." Himawari reached across the table to hand Pierre a special ninja tool. "Everyone of the jounins in your group got one."

He observed to little tape recorder like object and placed it in his pocket.

Pierre simply smiled back as he exited the Tenth Hokage's office.

He was going to be accompanied by 7 other kage level shinobi to stage this...
