Chapter 34 : Return...
A man with white hair was laying inside a desolate, cold cave deep in a mountain, not far away from Konoha. Jin flashed back to how he was easily manipulated by Danzo. He didn't like this feeling...he was trying to control himself as much as he could.....his red eyes gleamed a dangerous intent.....he would never forget this feeling...
This feeling of failure....hopelessness and anger all rolled into one. From this day forward....Jin vowed this would never, ever happen again...
<>
The cold air struck his expressionless face, his white hair waved in the air, as he exhaled and inhaled with his eyes closed....
He was achieving complete calmness, his mind was solidifying to become as strong as his body.
TAP!
He rose, his eyes still closed, as he moved between different techniques, in a seemingly unconscious state.
VOOOSH!!! SWIIISHH!!!! VOOOOSHHH!!!!!
His Martial arts were becoming more refined...slowly making the techniques into his own, as he moved swiftly in the air, leaving blurs as he kicked the air and cut through it with punches....
VOOOSH!!!! SWISH!!!!!
Sweat rolled of his body, as he continuously trained for hours on end...only having 1 short-term goal, which was too make Danzo suffer...and make him feel pain he'd never experienced before and a long term one.....which was to of-course become stronger.
<Hours Later>
Jin laid on the ground outside the cave...sweat covered his body after many hours of training, he could feel himself getting stronger and had an assassination on his head, so he couldn't go to other villages at the moment and so he started his first of many days of training.
He got up to wash at a nearby lake, refreshing him with energy as he looked expressionlessly at the sky....
<>
At the same time, Tsunade became the Hokage, and Sasuke ran away from the village to seek Orochimaru to help him get stronger. He left at night with the Sound Four....Sakura tried to stop him, but was knocked unconscious...
When Naruto heard, he went with Choji, Shikamaru , Kiba , and Neji...
They tried their hardest, trying to fight off the Sound Four, giving Naruto time to catch up to Sasuke...
BOOOM!!!!
They fought their hardest, Naruto to change Sasuke's mind, and Sasuke to kill Naruto...
But Naruto laid on the ground, as rain poured down on-to him, as Sasuke walked away, heading towards Orochimaru...
<>
With Naruto in the hospital, he still didn't give up on the promise he gave to Sakura, and vowed he'd bring him back.
Jiraiya came into his room and informed him that he had to get stronger, to face the up-and coming Akatsuki, and so he took him to train for 2 and a half years....
Naruto readily accepted, as he wanted to bring Sasuke back, and so they departed...
<>
Jin was almost obsessed with training...he was pushing himself everyday, as he imagined breaking Danzo's bones, little by little before he begged for forgiveness....
He decided to train for a couple of years, even if he didn't need it.....
<2 and ½ Years Later>
It's been about 2 years....Jin disappearance from everywhere didn't go un-noticed....nobody could find him which was surprising to most, but angered the majority of the Konoha citizens. They wanted Jin to suffer....they weren't the only ones, as a man with a bandaged right eye, was disappointed....he had sent people specifically to kill Jin, but they couldn't find him...
<>
The person in question, Jin, was walking on a desert road near Sunagakure, (Village Hidden in the Sand). He was wearing weights on his legs and was jogging near an area were some trees were presents, using them as a way to traverse better.....when he saw a group of Ninja in the distance...
TAP! TAP!
He stopped his movement, and looked at them with a smile. They weren't to far away to not hear him. The group of 20 all turned around and saw a man with white hair and red eyes, wearing a plain white T-shirt, black pants, with a red staff on his back and a red jacket tied to his waist staring at them.
ROOT Member 1 : "Isn't that the target....", one of them stated lowly, trying to not let Jin hear....but he obviously heard them.....as he swiftly appeared above of one.....before turning his waist, shifting his weight to his right, delivering a 180° spin kick on the right of the Ninja's head, striking cleanly on the temple....<Renewal Spinning Top Kick>.
BOOOOM!!!!
The ground under-him caved in from the sheer force, as a mangled body rested there with a completely destroyed skull.....The ROOT member's looked at Jin with surprise....his speed was destructive, and his power was shocking....
<>
Jin didn't waste time....as he catapulted towards the rest at terrifying speed...
VOOOSHH!!!!!
After emerging before an unsuspecting Ninja, he rotated his torso, before lifting his left leg, sending a powerful side-ways kick, in relation to his position, striking him in the chin, sending an upwards force towards his brain,<Renewal Recoilless Taegeuk>.
BANG!!!! BOOOM!!!!
The second the Ninja was flung away, 2 of them bravely took the initiative and storm towards Jin: One of them, threw 5 Shuriken from his left while the other came from the right, sending a flurry of attacks at Jin, ranging from punches and kicks...
BANG!!!! CRACKK!!!! SWISH!!!! BOOOOM!!!!
Dodging the attacks on his right, he observed the Ninja's movement, before noticing his anxiousness. Capitalising on this, Jin dived to the ground, completing a 180 degrees sweep kick, striking the Ninja's legs, making him lose balance,<Lowest Hwechook>, before he jumped up and pivoted his legs, twisting his waist before appearing on the Nnja's left at blinding speed....
Before the Ninja could do anything, Jin raised his left leg, before spinning, sending a kick with a wide arc, straight to the Ninja's skull,<Ssam-Su Taekkyeon : Rear-Horse Kick>.
The Ninja was swept away, as he crashed into a tree....sensing an attack, Jin rolled to the ground, seemingly avoiding 5 Shuriken from piercing him....
He stared at the Ninja, before smirking slightly...as he burst in speed....
ZOOOM!!!!
Sending a barrage of punches at the Ninja's torso, breaking his rib-cage and damaging his nerves and joints,<Torrential Strike>...
CRACKKK!!! BANG!!!!
Looking at the brutalised Ninja, Jin's smile bloomed, as he raised his right leg in a wide arc, casting a shadow over the ROOT Member...."hehehehe~", Jin chuckled, before sending his leg down in a destructive manner....striking the Root Member, cleanly on the head....before pressuring him deep into the ground due to the force,<Practical Taekkyeon : Monster Serpent Strike>.....
BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!
Dust scattered everywhere in the air, affecting the ROOT Member's visions, un-able to see Jin, they charged in...
<>
Jin's leg smashed down through the ROOT Member, casting significant damage to the ground, as it made a large hole, laying in the middle was nothing but flesh, blood and bones...
<>
When the dust cleared, Jin was above the mangled body....sensing something coming...he twisted his waist, spun his head, and raised his left leg before swinging it, striking the torso of a ROOT Member, <Hwechook>...
BOOOM!!!! VOOSHH!!!
The Ninja was flung past the other's....but they didn't care, as one on the right, sent a high kick towards Jin's head....
The kick was approaching rapidly, but all Jin did was move his head a few centimetres, bringing out his hands which blocked and deflected the strike,< Ssam-Su Taekkyeon : Block & Deflect>.....
CRACKK!!!
Jin used enough force while he held the leg, to shatter some of his bones, "ARGHHHH!!!", he screamed, but Jin wasn't even done...
While he held the Ninja's leg, he smirked as he knocked him off balance by faking a spin hook kick using his right leg before he tripped the Ninja's other leg, with his left, using the force generated from the kick. The two were now in mid-air, off balance heading towards the ground....seeing the man's look of despair, Jin's smile turned savage, as he raised his elbow, before bashing it into the Ninja...
SWOOSH!!! CRACK!!!! BANG!!!!!!
<Practical Taekkyeon : Armlock Trip>
CRASH!!!
The two collided into the floor, but Jin didn't let up and bashed his knee into the Ninja's face with a sinister smile, <Ssam-Su Taekkyeon : Knee Kick>...
BOOOOM!!!!
The air pressure generated from that attack, went through the Ninja's head as he laid dead.....
Looking 5 more surrounding, Jin dived in....
3 on his left, 2 on his right.....
He opted to go to his left and charged there but before he could...
The 2 on his right in unison : " Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!!!", they shouted after completing the hand signs.....
Delivering a destructively large flame at Jin in a matter of seconds.....
<>
Looking at the flame approaching, Jin smiled and raised his arms to his side, taunting the attack, taking it head on....
SWOOOOSHHH!!!! CRACKLE!!!!!!
The flames seemingly consumed Jin... the ROOT were happy and watched the fire rage on....
All of their faces, turned from happiness and relief to shock and fear....
From the flames, emerged a man uninjured...only his clothes slightly burned, while he didn't receive any detrimental damage himself...
Jin was amused at their reactions and charged in.....
Emerging on one's left, before crashing his right leg on his face, pushing him to the ground....submerging him in the process,<Ssam-Su Taekkyeon : Push Kick>.
BANG!!!! CRACKKK!!!!!!
Writing off another, he catapulted towards the others, with a smile on his face, happy with the 'warm-up' he was receiving....
<>
One of the ROOT Member's watched on in horror....he had no words for the massacre...he didn't want his friends to die, and so grabbed a sort of flare from his pocket...
He raised it to the air, sending a red flare into the air, signalling help to any nearby Ninja's.....
SWOOSH!!! BANG~
<>
In Sunagakure, 40 Jonin were patrolling the outskirts of the village when they saw a red flare exploding in the air. They all looked at each-other and made their way there.
<>
Jin dashed towards one of the last ROOT Members, materialising before him, as he raised his right leg, before delivering a kick that pushed the Ninja into the air with tremendous force, <Renewal Baek Rok>..
BANGGG!!!!!
The strike struck him cleanly in the chin, stunning him for a long time, as his brain was damaged from the attack.... Jin showed no mercy and charged at him, before he raised his left hand, pushing his right fist back.....before he extended his arm, sending his right fist, covered in Ki, crashing into the stomach of the Ninja, <Full Contact Karate 1st Stance : Ballistic Fist>.....
BOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!!!! PTUIIII!!!!!
The punch made the Ninja black out, as he vomited blood from his mouth before he was smashed into the ground, creating a crater....
The smell of blood filled the air, as it covered Jin's face creating an ominous image....
SIGH!!!
He sounded, looking at the pile of bodies scattered around the forest....
'Guess that's it huh~', he thought with a satisfied smile before turning his back walking away....
However,
Just as he was about to leave:
"SAND BARRIER JUTSU!", Screamed a Sunagakure Jonin....
Jin turned around before the air was covered in sand, obscuring his vision....
SWOOOSH!!!
Just as he used Observation Haki to see what was happening, a Kunai, had almost pierced his eye, before he successfully evaded.
He could see 40 Ninja's, all from Sunagakure as they were wearing a headband...surrounding him as a sand-storm raged on in the middle....
"Interesting~,", he said a-loud lowly, before he slowly went into his stance.....
As if it was timed.....all of the Ninja's dashed inside, engaging Jin in a battle of close-combat....
<5 Minutes Later>
69 Bodies: 30 ROOT Members and 39 Jonin's from Sunagakure....
'One's missing~, whatever~', he thought nonchalantly, as he walked with his hands in his pocket.... Jin was covered head to toe in blood....his hair was dyed blood-red, matching his red eyes, as he looked sinister to all of the animals he passed....
<>
At the same time, an injured Jonin, dashed back to Sunagakure....
When they found him, he told them everything he knew after they healed him....
News of Jin's return brought fury from the Ninja's and Citizens of Konoha...while it also caused worry for Danzo....
Word spread far and wide, 'The man who killed the Hokage without the need for chakra' was back....
Adding Interest to some men dressed in black cloaks with red clouds engraved all around it's design, but also mixed feelings for Naruto, who was returning from his training very soon....
