Chapter 2

"Hokage, sir!" The shinobi kneeled as he called out to the Hokage in front of him.

"Yes, what is it?" The Hokage smoked out of a pipe as he was overlooking the leaf village from the cliff face.

"We have received direct news from the battlefield." The shinobi pulled out a little note and unrivalled it.

"What news have the battle scouts brought? Read it aloud." The Hokage took a puff of his pipe.

"We have lost the battle, a group of rogue shinobi had finished off the remaining leaf shinobis, but as they were ready to leave, a samurai entered the battlefield and slaughtered the group with ease, only using his hand. He doesn't have chakra." The Shinobi finished reading the letter and waited for the Hokage to speak.

"That is troublesome and strange that someone without chakra exists, how are they alive? Eh, a question for later. Order the main instructors to meet me at my office immediately." The Hokage put away his pipe and began to walk back to his office.

"Yes sir." The Shinobi shouted before dumping away, disappearing into the wind.

The Hokage and 3 Jonin sat in the Hokage's office, waiting for the last Jonin to arrive.

"Salutations," Kakashi said as he appeared at the window. Guy was leaning against the wall and greeted Kakashi with a wink and a toothy smile. "Hello, Kakashi."

While the Hokage wanted to get the meeting on the way, Kurenai started to berate Kakashi. "What the hell Kakashi!? The Hokage called us and you arrive late!" Kakashi smiled and responded appropriately.

"I wasn't late, I was simply on the road of life." Kakashi pulled out his book and sat at the window, ready to get the meeting underway.

Kurenai flared in anger as she couldn't believe Kakshi's stupid excuse. Before she exploded, Asuma placed a hand on her shoulder. "Leave it Kurenai, since he's here now, why don't we get the meeting underway." Kurenai wanted to burst, but she chose not to, not wanting to drag this out.

Once everyone was silent, the Hokage spoke up. "Are all of you aware of the scroll that was stolen from the vault?"

"Yeah, the one that holds the second Hokage's secret Jutsu" Kurenai responded while the other 3 enjoyed their activities.

"That's right, we have no confirmation on where it is, but it's suspected that it's on that battlefield among the dead bodies. Now." The Hokage stood up from his desk and turned behind him, facing a window that looked over the village, and taking a puff of his pipe.

"We have found another variable. A samurai." This piece of knowledge got all the Jonins attention.

"Why would a samurai be doing in the middle of a shinobi conflict?" Kurenai asked, slightly on edge.

The other Jonin waited for the Hokage to reveal any information, they knew what they were going to be tasked with.

"The only information we have is that he was able to kill 4 Jonin with a single strike, what is most interesting is that he has no trace of chakra."

The revelation that he carried no chakra and was able to kill Jonin had the group on edge. But none of them spoke.

"I am aware that you all have the assigned genin that you get tomorrow, but I am merely warning you that you will most likely be called upon. Dismissed." The Jonin walked out of the room, knowing that this new information will be important in the future.

Kakashi was going to leave but was stopped by the Hokage. "Kakashi, you and a group of Anbu will go and investigate the battlefield tomorrow after you interact with your genin. Find the scroll, and if you can, evaluate the samurai."

Kakashi left with a lot on his mind.

Miyamoto was back in a misty forest, with no clear goal in mind, aside from heading in the direction of the fighting.

Miyamoto knew that these people had access to strange magic, but it made the fights quite fun, and that was all that mattered.

After drawing closer to the sound of fighting, Miyamoto made it in time and sat at the tree line, observing the fight.

The famed assassins used fire, mud, water and various techniques. Miyamoto was more focused on their ability, to understand the variety of techniques that can be used.

Although Miyamoto wanted to fight, he also wanted to live, so he observed...

As the end of the fight drew near, Miyamoto walked into the battle, approaching the last standing assassin.

The Shinobi knelt on one knee, trying to recover from their injuries. The hairs on the back of their neck raised to the sky, making them dash away and pulled out a kunai, looking at the approaching enemy.

When they turned around, they saw the eyes of a beast, black hair falling behind their neck like the mane of a lion, covered with black human clothing with Geta sandals.

"Who are you?" The shinobi demanded.

Miyamoto could see the fear in the assassin's eyes, and the big scroll they carried on their back.

"I simply seek information, but if you continue to aim the kunai at me-" Miyamoto stepped into a stance, exuding his fighting spirit a little. Miyamoto's eyes went from his casual predatory gaze into a ferocious glare.

The Shinobi saw the air around Miyamoto bend and twist like a heat wave. Under his gaze, the shinobi fell to their knees.

"-I will cut you down where you stand." Miyamoto's voice boomed, making the shinobi's ears tremble.

The Shinobi dropped the kunai and raised their hands, showing no weapon. "I-I'll give you, any information you need." The Shinobi said in desperation, though she would run when he drops his guard.

Miyamoto stepped out of his stance, calming his fighting spirit, and speaking.

"What is your magic called?" When Miyamoto said those words, the shinobi's lies to any question were thrown to the wind, as the question made no sense.

"Magic?" The Shinobi was dumbfounded by the question, suddenly the threatening man was as threatening.

Miyamoto did his hand signs, perfectly copying the shinobis from before. "Fire-style: Fireball Jutsu."

The Shinobi raised their arms to defend themselves instinctually, but nothing happened. They looked at Miyamoto, wondering why the Jutsu didn't work, but Miyamoto carried on like that was normal.

"That! I've seen you, people manipulate the environment around you and swap places with logs and many other things." The Shiobi was visibly confused but passed it off to answer his question.

"Ah. That's a Jutsu, it what Shinobi use to do what you saw." Miyamoto continued to ask questions and the shinoni could only teach him right then and there.
