Love & Envy

"Come on Pierre, we need to rest. We've been traveling for about like what, 2 days now? Slow down." Darasu proclaimed.

"No! We can't! Kosen and Kumogakure are waiting for us to save them!" Pierre repiled.

"Come on P. The hidden hot water village is right up ahead." Taiyo agreed.

"Yea we need a break!" The whole group simultaneously agreed.

By now Hikari was able to miraculously recover from the use of his abyss release.

'Why is this group of jonins so lazy? Jeez. Our friend is in danger.' Pierre thought to himself, doing his best to not trigger anyone. "Fine" He complied.

"Wow, this place is definitely not in the best conditions." Tsuki siad.

"I know. I heard an Akatsuki member destroyed the village years ago." Chita replied.

"Kind of a good thing we stopped. I was hungry for some good ramen!" Pierre exclaimed. He ran off before anyone could stop him.

'Oh boy. I just hope he doesn't cause any trouble.' Chita thought.

"Excuse me, um, miss, excuse me?" Pierre spotted a young lady. She turned around. Her hair was lucious, dark purple. "B-b-b-b-um," Pierre sputtered. He was amazed at her beauty. "W-w-w-where is um, d-d-d y-ou know where the um n-e-e-arest ramen place is?" The girl chuckled. "I'm sorry, i'm not usually like this its just… your… your… just so attractive." Pierre managed to spatter. The girl blushed. "Um, I can take you there. Would you like to accompany me?"

"Yes!" Pierre gushed. The girl grabbed Pierre's hand and they were off.

Pierre rejoiced. 'YES!YES!YES!' He thought.

The sound of Pierre scarfing down ramen could be heard from miles away. "Why don't you slow down there?" 'That's not the first time i've heard that' Pierre thought. "By the way, I never got your name." Pierre questioned. "Oh, it's Rukia. And yours is,"

"Pierre. Pierre Hayashi."

Pierre and Rukia walked down the streets of the Hot Water Village. "How did you end up here. I heard the native clan was completely wiped out?"

Rukia froze. "Well, I'm actually from Konoha. The Uzumaki clan."

'Uzumaki Rukia' Pierre examined.

"My grandmother… she ran away while pregnant with my mom to here. The people of Konoha tried to kill her."

"Oh." Pierre felt awkward asking this girl about her family's past. "So you've been here youre whole life?"

The girl responded, "Yes, with my mother."

"Cool. Cool."

They continued walking around, Rukia showing Pierre around the village.

"Guys, guys!" Pierre was able to locate the position of the other jonins. "I just met this awesome girl!"

"Who! Who!" Chita babbled.

"Her name is Rukia. Here, i'll show her to you!" He called out for the girl.

The shy Uzumaki perred from out the shadows.

She waved towards the group.

"Well, it was fun meeting you Rukia! But I'm on a mission, a mission to save a village and my friend. I'll make sure to stop by when we are on our way!"

He waved and ran over to hug Rukia. She gave him a kiss on the cheek, and they were on their way, yet again.

'Ahhhh. Rukia,' For once, only one thing was on Pierre's mind. Rukia. But he had to clear those thoughts from his head, to focus. On saving everyone.

"Hey you. You. Open the village gates." Taiyo demanded. A man turned around.

The sharingan. Taiyo was now trapped, himself alone in an endless world.

"Hey! What are these chains doing on me! Huh! Let me go!" Taiyo exploded.

A man appeared from out the shadows.

"These are the best jounin Konoha has to offer? That war really must've took a toll on the village."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Taiyo took a minute to recollect. "Ah man, Ive best cast in tsukuyomi! God!"

"You've finally managed to understand. Taiyo." The man replied.

'God. Why does this stuff keep happening to our group. I didn't even want to go on this mission'. He thought.

"A leaf shinobi being that lazy and selfish. What happened to the old days."

*SHANK

He sank his katana into Taiyo, piercing him.

"AHHH!" He screamed.

"Weak shinobi's. Bawling at first stab. I guess that's why Tsuki is called the prodigy, eh?"

He stabbed Taiyo again.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

"You heard me. The weaker link. You're no Tsuki."

He stabbed Taiyo again.

"I AM BETTER THAN TSUKI! SHE IS NO MATCH FOR ME."

"Why do you think you were chosen to be jounin earlier than the other ninja in your class?"

He sunk his blade even deeper into Taiyo.

"I AM A GREAT LEAF SHINOBI. KONOHA IS LUCKY TO HAVE ME!"

"No," he chuckled, "You think you are better or even as, talented, or as smarter than the other ninja in your class. Hikari, Kosen, Cassius. Are you?"

He thought for a minute. "YES. I AM THE HEIR TO THE LEGENDARY SENJU CLAN!"

*Shank

"Correct answer. But you're no Hashirama. Tsuki is more powerful, smarter, and talented. You're nothing except a trash member of a great clan. A disgrace."

"AHHHH! SHUT UP!"

"A disgrace."

*Shank

'Why do you think that you were allowed to do all these missions. Tsuki loved you so much, she only agreed to participate in these, if you were there."

*shank

"NO. NO! NOO!"

"You're just a result of your sisters pity."

*sha-

The shackles released. Taiyo leaped off the platform to place his hands on the man's throat.

He freakily smiled. "I-I-I'M JUST T-T-HE RESULT OF MY SISTER'S P-P-PITY?!" His grip tightened on the man's neck. "T-THE D-D-DISGRACE OF T-THE SENJU?!" He tightened his grip yet again.

'Something is blocking my ability to end tsukuyomi!' The man thought.

Crystal shards rose up from the ground, Imprisoning the man.

'Crystal Style?!' The man thought.

"WHAT YOU SAID. WILL CAUSE THE END OF YOU!" He said, still maintaining a grip on the man's neck with one hand.

"IF I DON'T HAVE POWER NOW. I WILL AFTER THIS!" He reached for the man's face.

"Please No!"

*DRIP

The gushing sound of blood raining down from the man's eye was gut-wrenching.

"AHHH!" The man yelled.

"NOW I WILL FINISH YOU!" Taiyo yelled. A crystal shard extended from his hand, impaling the man's neck.

"TSUKI SENJU! I VOW THAT I WILL BECOME STRONGER THAN YOU!" Taiyo roared as he implanted his newly aquired sharingan into his left eye.
