Might of the Great Iwa General (Parte-3)
A Bloody and beaten with nearly out of chakra, Renji was sitting in the midst of dead bodies, leaning against a tree.
He wasn't in any condition to move at all...
On his hand was a message...The message he swiped, when he hugged Mikoto, during the time when everyone separated.
Renji is no sensor, Hydro Sense, could feel anyone near him but that does not make him sensor, he can't see how strong someone is...Or if there is something with them or not.
But water is his blessing, it's his domain, he feels everything within the water he created and the very moment he trapped Mikoto inside the water prison, to save her, he knew everything she had with her. Though he wouldn't have minded of her having the orders from higher-ups.
But Mikoto is merely an Academy Graduate... She didn't even have the Genin training official from Sakumo Sensei... How the heck did she have Secret Orders From Konoha...She is not strong enough.
So he purposefully hugged her, Flirt with her...and in the end, swiped the message with his quick hands.
In the message, there was everything, he did during the mission, his abilities, his fight...they are clearly spying on him, and to decide whether to kill him or keep him as a pet for Konoha... and most importantly...It is written by Mikoto herself...that's what hurt him the most.
"Will Sensei betray me as well one day", he muttered to himself, as he created the false information about himself.
He played with The wooden Bird with his hand, before he folds it, and return it to his side pocket, From this very moment onwards, everything, Konoha will only know, what he wants it to know...and Mikoto, she will have her retribution soon enough...But not now, not yet... Her identity is not something, that someone like him could mess with her. She is practically the most important young generation member right now in the entire Konoha's village.
He is not strong enough yet, to leave Konoha's protection, he is not strong enough to face the retribution of a very powerful Village, His clan is still not safe and definitely is not in a condition to make it own it's own. There is also Kushina... One wrong move from his side, and with a snap of a finger, his entire clan will be massacred in front of his eyes.
"Sigh...This world is truly filled with bastard dogs... Lady Kushina, people Like you and Me truly don't belong in this world... and we can't leave Konoha Yet as well....what would you have done... Mother, father?", he wondered rubbing the wedding ring of his mother he always wears with him, alongside the tattered headband of his father.
He bitterly smiled when Hatake Sakumo barely and by great strain came towards him
"Are you alright?", asked Sakumo as he picked Renji with his bloodied arm.
"Sensei, you finally came"
"Of course, you are going to be a big brother of my kid; do you think I will just leave you like that"
(The very same mentality will lead you to do the suicide in the future but I personally am not against this type of mentality)
"Ha, you are injured badly old man I didn't know even you could get injured not to mention this badly"
"Talk about yourself kid, you are looking like an already dead man, let's go, we can't rest in here we need to get to our side's location; also once we are free, I am making you do 1000 push-ups as a punishment for calling me old man"
"Do you think we can make it back"
"If we meet another opponent then no, they will be able to kill us before we know it; but if luck stayed on our side, we can reach there; don't lose hope kid, that's what kept me alive for so many years 'hope' i didn't lose it so don't you dare lose yours."
-------
Sakumo and Renji are walking or rather dragging their feet with each other with the help of each other
Renji: "So, you fought with Akira, the infamous Ghost of Earth... Sensei, tell me the truth, how the heck did you manage to live the tell"
"What do you think your sensei is? I am not an S rank White Fang for nothing kid"
"Tch... I don't know how the heck, do you not get promotion after so many years, I mean you are way beyond the level of Jonin Commander... I don't think any Jonin Commander could hold a candle chance against you"
Sakumo: "No, I am a Jonin commander all right; the next rank that they could give me is the general, but the difference in the skill of mine and current Anbu general is still quite much; I can't really complain not gaining better rank despite me surpassing the Jonin commander rank, after all, I can't defeat the general; like he can't defeat the Hokage"
Renji: "Tch, who wish to be the Hokage anyway, other than that brat Minato, Kushina Keeps talking about these days, I believe she has a crush on him, but back on topic I think he doesn't know about the paperwork Hokage handles"
Sakumo smiled at that, "Aren't you the Uzukage as well?"
Renji: "My clan in total has merely 20 people, 12 of them are less than 12 years old; even though I might be a Uzukage, but until unless we manage to recreate Uzushio, I am a kage in name only"
Renji: "Sensei... Mikoto's background... Her background do you think I can match her background"
Sakumo seriously: "No, no matter whose student you are, or how famous you are; Mikoto is current Anbu general sole daughter; that man is the second most powerful person in entire Konoha save the Hokage; second most influential person in Uchiha clan save its head; do you really believe you can match her background being... you? Her background can only be matched by the likes of Fugaku, Hiashi, Kushina too if Uzushio did not get destroyed, but not now..."
Renji: "I like her you know... I truly like her, I like to hug her, she might very well be the softest person out there"
Sakumo: "I know"
Renji: "You know? How?"
Sakumo: "Anyone with half the decent brain could figure out; how you got those panda eyes that day"
Renji: "Fukaku and Hiashi couldn't"
"I said anyone with half the decent brain", said Sakumo chuckling to his joke
"Hahahaha", Renji laughed bashfully but he now knows, just how futile it is, to punish her for her betrayal, she belongs to a whole different world, These 2 shouldn't have been met in the first place itself...if it wasn't her who significantly asked for Sakumo Hatake as her jonin sensei, even Hokage has to listen to his general.
Just like that both teacher and disciple were dragging their way towards Konoha camp with the 'hope' to be able to live and see another day
*Badump
Renji felt something as quickly 11 figures appeared before them. All of them Have Konoha's headband.
"Hatake Sakumo, Uzumaki Renji...I am Jonin Commander Nara Shin, General Kagami asked us to fetch you both...Please come with us", said one who comes in front of them.
"Lead the way", Sakumo said as Renji sighed in relief since the danger has been passed, with so many of Jonins and 2 jonin commanders present here, how the heck could someone attack them
-------
He cursed his black tongue, as he watched a Red hair Mighty Looking Iwa Shinobi standing on the tree branch looking down on them.
"Who are you? State your name", asked one of them
'Idiot what's the use of asking, It's not like it's of any use, what's the use of doing the trash-talking, since he came here to assassinate us all, why to waste our time talking', thought Renji
"Hm... so you are the Recent A rank threat, the Hydromancer, I have been told about, same age as my son and yet going to be in battle with me head to head you truly surprise me kid; and you must be the famous Kenjutsu user Hatake Sakumo; the so-called strongest jonin commander out there, it's my honor to meet such talented individuals, my name is 'Aasuhi Haru' the general of hidden village of Iwagakure (second most powerful than their kage); even though only one of the two of our side could leave this field alive I wish you good luck, You have the advantage as you guys have 11 shinobis to protect you, Now come", said Haru before taking the fighting taijutsu stance entirely treating Nara and the rest of 11 as mere air.
"Formation T!" ordered Nara.
He was confident in this plan and was prepared for any opponent.
"I'm not someone you can beat with mere tricks, For becoming a General you need skills, very strong survival skills," Haru said this making everyone more enraged except Hyuuga who was focused and activated her Byakugan.
one taijutsu specialist, one Hyuuga and another weapon specialist begin the whilst everyone except Sakumo and Renji, follows from behind in a T shape. The taijutsu specialist comes into contact to Haru throwing some hard kicks which are blocked and evaded which leaves Haru open and The Anbu with weapon specialty, start dropping weapons from one of her scrolls causing Haru to dodge and unaware that he is moving towards Hyuuga's 8 Trigrams 64 Palms Technique.
Seeing the current situation, Haru used her quick hands to block and evade all palms attacks, which caught Hyuuga by surprise and Haru landed a kick on Hyuuga's side sending him flying back. Bones Broken, Dead. Weapon specialist Anbu sees an opportunity and does her Weapon Control: Gigantic Iron Ball at which Haru smirks and breaks in half sending shockwaves of emotions to the Konoha's 11 now 10 though. Taijutsu specialist seeing the raw power activates his chakra control gaining speed and landing some heavy kicks on Haru and sending crashing back. Everyone smiles for a moment before Haru gets up looking unharmed.
"Give up, you guys are wasting your time, surrender now or get killed" explained Haru getting shocks from everyone.
"Ino-Shika-Cho Formation Go!. Human Yo-Yo!" Announced Akamichi landing a direct hit on Haru.
Haru had a few bruises here and there but that didn't stop him from getting up. Haru got back up and went in for a direct hit on Akamichi, which was blocked and he was hit by Inuzuka's Fang Over Fang. Next up Two Anbu's attacked Haru, but he easily dodged them and landed some hit both the Anbu's hands making them unable to perform seals. Aburame snuck up from behind and sent his bugs to engulf Haru and trapped him.
Haru knew that his bugs were dangerous so he made a quick choice to release some of the Terrifying amount of the gigantic Chakra in the air that scared the bugs and they moved off him. Seeing Aburame confused Haru landed a hard punch that sent Aburame flying into a tree and knocking him unconscious
And next, he targeted two more Anbus which he killed them each with a combo attack
From start, the fight till now not 5 minutes are gone, and half of the Konoha's 11 member team of Great experts, are being killed and to worse it off, the Iwa guy didn't even use Ninjutsu at all till now
Haru hadn't realized but he was caught by Nara's Shadow Possession then hit by another Hyuuga's 64 Palm blocking his chakra flow. Anbu's Leaf Hurricane, Inazuka's Fang Over Fang, Akamichi's double-sized punch, making Haru unable to move, since they stabbed his arms and legs and finally Flower Bombs. They all panted and cheered thinking that they managed to subdue him but then they saw Haru's eyes get an orange line around it and pulled off the kunai's with almost no effort
Everyone was shocked seeing him wound free, it was a huge blow for Konoha for they have worked for nothing till now
"Now it's time to finish this!" Roared Haru which woke up everyone
They all made a circle and Haru made 20 clones and stunned all of them with small earth bullets. Once they weren't stunned everyone looked up only to see Haru's shouting "Earth Release: Rumbling Mt. Fuji"
which left everyone unconscious except for one Anbu who used the speed and get ready to move out of the way.
But Haru flickered and Killed him
"Uh sensei...I think we are in trouble...This guy is terrifyingly good .. Wanna run now?"
"You think it's gonna be effective against that monster? Let's fight any way we might win...Use the seal tags, and must not be used recklessly"
Haru finished off Konoha's 11 and in fast stride went towards Renji and Sakumo with the intention to kill them.
Haru the general of Iwa, the shinobi who beated the Jonin commander, and 11 Anbus with nothing but Taijutsu and minimum Ninjutsu. The guy didn't even use a quarter of his true strength.
V/s
Renji and Sakumo who are weaker in the first place, now they are even more tired...
It was even a question mark, whether Renji and Sakumo can even scratch Haru?
*Gulp
Renji gulped down, as he hoped General Kagami will come fast...Or Sakumo sensei and he will die in brutal death.
Sakumo and Renji stood at one side, while Haru stands on the other side, the pressure here is something that only fits the battlefield, a great Killing intent roared from all 3 of them, as Renji and Sakumo rushed at him first.
The battle with full of desperation begins...
