Chapter 31 : Freedom
Jin awoke to the birds chirping... he remembered what happened last night and wondered who wanted to take his life when he had just arrived.
He put the matter at the back of his head and headed out to the shops.
In Konoha's town square, Jin was walking, ignoring all the stares and threats coming his way, he went inside a shop and got a drink.
JUG! JUG! JUG!
He finished the bottle, as he looked up to the Blazing Sun, 'Guess Life's gonna be slow for a while', he thought, realising he had to wait a bit for the real challenges to pop up.
Jin didn't really mind, besides fighting and training, he like relaxing as much as anyone else, the feeling of freedom had taken over, as he walked without a care in the world.
TAP TAP TAP TAP
While he was strolling the roads of Konoha, he walked into an alley-way for a short-cut. When he entered he felt someone follow him....he didn't waste anytime this time, as he vanished from the person's sight.
<>
A Ninja from Root was following Jin on orders from Danzo, he figured Jin was a threat, as the Ninja they sent last night didn't come back. He was ordered to follow him along for the day and not be too obvious, but he knew it was too late when Jin suddenly disappeared...
<>
VOOOSSHHHHHH!!!!
Jin appeared before the Ninja's face with a smile, "It's not kind to follow someone like that~", Jin stated with a lecturing tone as he wagged his finger in the air like he was a teacher.
Thinking quickly, the Ninja backed out 3 Kunai's before slashing towards Jin....
SWOOOSHHH!!!! CLUTCH!!!
"And attacking someone else isn't kind....unless your'e me~, hehehe", Jin proclaimed before he sent a barrage of punches at the Ninja's torso, <Torrential Strike>, the Ninja coughed blood as he couldn't handle the damage.
CRACK! CRACK!! BOOOM!! BANG!!!
Jin didn't show any mercy, but stopped as he held the limping ninja, "Who sent you~", Jin said with a serious face.
"I will never-", before the Ninja could finish, Jin let go of him as he jumped into the air, rotating his waist he bashed his left leg into his skull,<Front Hwechook>.
BANG!!!!
The ninja fell dead on the floor, "Sorry~, I didn't actually want an answer, I just always wanted to say that, heheheheehhe", Jin expressed before walking away with his hands in his pocket.
<>
When he was out the alley, he smiled at the civilians that gave him ugly looks, uncaring of their childish behaviours he went to the park. Sitting on the bench, he looked at the sky, 'The Chunin Exam's should start soon', Jin thought, before he grabbed his Yeoui from his back, as he got up and made his way to the forest. Right now, he was bored so he decided to do some training.
He didn't want anyone watching him, so he went far away, using Observation Haki, he could see he was okay and begun training.
<>
Jin sat under the sun as sweat rolled down his body, he got up and went to a nearby lake...after washing himself, he got up and headed back over to Konoha.
When he got to the village, he went inside Ichiraku and ordered some ramen, he saw Naruto there eating after 30 minutes and greeted him as they talked....but Naruto had to leave early because of training.
Jin was okay with it, as he decided to take a stroll in the forest, he told Naruto he wanted to train there and so they departed.
The real reason he went there, was because he felt a-lot of eyes watching him based on his instincts.
He walked outside Konoha, and walked for about 5 minutes before he stretched on the barren road, after getting ready he called out his observers, "I know your there~, come out".
VOOOSHHH!!! TAP!! TAP!!!
He stared at the 10 or so Ninja's, all wearing the same outfit of the previous one, looking at him with a menacing glare, "Assassins huh~", Jin said out-loud before they all charged at him.
<>
The Root members all heard that Jin didn't have any chakra, but heard that he excelled in a type of Taijutsu, being so close to Konoha and being ordered to handle this mission as silently as possible they all opted to using Taijutsu and Genjutsu on Jin as Ninjutsu would cause too much noise.
<>
Jin watched as they surrounded him completely: 2 in-front of him, 2 behind him, 2 on his left, 2 on his right and 1 above him while 1 went underground using Earth Jutsu.
The 2 on the right all attacked while the left backed them as-well: countless of punches and kicks were thrown towards Jin, as-well as Kunai's.
He looked at the attacks and decided not to use his,<Red Monkey King Transformation>, and opted to just his skills. He avoided the Kunai's by simply moving his head a few centimetres to the right.
The approaching Root member's were shocked, but didn't deviate as they dashed towards him. After avoiding the kicks on the left, he rolled to the ground and delivered a 180 degrees sweep kick on the closest one on his right,<Renewal Lowest Hwechook>, as soon as the Ninja lost balance, Jin jumped up and delivered an upwards kick with a-lot of power behind it, <Renewal Front Kick>.
BANG!!! CRACKK!!!!
The Ninja laid on the floor dead from the trauma the strike handed him, but the other Root members didn't stop as the other one on his right, jumped at Jin before slashing his kunai at his face...
SWISHH!!!
But before he could even touch a single hair on Jin's head, a punch packed with Ki, struck his stomach causing him to vomit blood as he slammed into a tree,<Full Contact Karate : Dance of the Four Gods : 1st Stance Ballistic Fist>.
BOOM!!!
The 2 in-front , 2 behind, 2 on his left and the one above Jin waiting for the right moment, all looked and smiled....The Ninja under Jin grabbed his foot, as he used his full strength to yank Jin into the Earth.....but....Jin didn't move at all and stamped the floor, causing the one underneath him to die from the air pressure and Ki that rose to the air,<2nd Stance : Phoenix Kick>.
After getting rid of that annoyance, he looked at the remaining 7 and smiled...
BOOOOM!!!! BOOOOOM!!!
With blinding speed, Jin punched the air itself and crashed air pressure and Ki towards the 2 in-front of him...
BLAHHHH!!!
They vomited blood, before Jin kicked them both in the head, pushing them to the ground with an unstoppable force,<Ssam-Su Taekkyeon : Push Kick X 2>.
BANG!!!!
VOOOSHHH!!!
After writing off them two, he dashed and sent a barrage of blows all over the 2 behind him, damaging their organs, pressure points and more...
BANG!!! BANG!!! CRACKKK!!!!!
He didn't need to do anymore as they slowly fell to the ground....limp before they died...
The 2 on the left had enough, and grabbed 10 Kunais each, 20 in total, and looped one on each finger, swinging at Jin like they were claws. "ehehehehe~", Jin chuckled as he easily dodged their attack.
They were intentionally giving time for the one above, to send a rain of kunai's at Jin....to which he successfully did...
SWISH!!! DIP!!!!
They all looked at Jin, happy as they noticed the Kunai's went through him.....but after a few seconds....they paled as it was an after-image.
The one ninja above, was scared as he felt someone breathing behind him, he darted his eyes, and looked for a second, before Jin's left leg struck his head,<Renewal Front Hwechook>, cutting it clean off...
ROLL ROLL ROLL
The head rolled to the two remaining as they looked at the horror the head's face expressed, before closing their eyes...
<2 minutes later>
Jin came out the forest, and walked back to Konoha , 'Who want's me dead? I wonder~', he wondered amused at their antics.
<>
By the time he was back, it was night-time, as he went to his house and closed the door, stretching before closing his eyes....
-------
In his head he dreamt about a man with red blazing eyes smiling like a crazy man in the face of 100 beasts, all chuckling as they looked at his wounds....
The man brought out a red Yeoui before charging at them with the same menacing smile on his face...
-----
When Jin woke up, he wondered who the person in his dreams are, thinking about how he was the Red Monkey King now, he figured that it was the previous one, and so from now on, he decided to full pay attention to these short dreams....' I wonder what they all mean? And what they could mean for me in the future?', he thought before getting up from the floor.
He opened his door, and looked at the sun, before he inhaled the air and smiled as the sun beamed over him....
