First Mission: Clans War - 3

On this night, the moon was barely visible behind clouds and so there was less moonlight. When Kouske and his squad entered the forest things were barely visible. But suddenly, clouds covered the moon completely and the remaining moonlight disappeared. It was pitch dark and it was difficult for Kouske to even see his teammates.

[Chakra Sense Scan Jutsu]

Kouske used his jutsu and stopped relying on his eyes. He was seeing everything around him in a 200 meters radius although without color. In his mind, the image was like a 3D hologram which was completely blue with things that have chakra having a deeper shade of blue.

Hagoromo squad leader: SHIT! we can not see anything now.

Aiko Uchiha: I can manage with my sharingan. Although, it is not as clear as day.

Emi Fuma: I can not see anything as well.

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom

Kouske: Things are not good. I am sensing that our squads which were delaying the enemy are about to be wiped out as they can not see like us. Our enemies are Aburame, Inuzuka, Hyuga and Tenro squads. Their numbers I am not sure, but in my range I can sense 55 shinobis with 14 ninken. Some Tenro have already transformed into their beast form using their clan's [Tenro-Style Ninjutsu: Beast-Human Transformation Technique]. There are 4 of those. Because their transformation made them part beast, this darkness is not hindering them. Same for Inuzuka and Hyuga. Aburame are managing in this environment through their insects. Meaning, our allies are sitting ducks. I suggest we retreat, we can not engage them in this darkness and in this forest. It is hindering us but is an advantage for them. What's more, even moving is close to impossible for us except Aiko.

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom

Kouske: Hmmm....Looks like someone is smart.

Hagoromo squad leader: What happened?

Kouske: There are 16 of our allies there. I think the Uchihas among them got the idea of burning the surroundings so that they can have some light. They used their jutsus to light some areas on fire.

Hagoromo squad leader: 16? There were 6 squads of 4 shinobis patrolling. Meaning 2 squads are already down.

Kouske: Okay, Now Fuma are using their wind styles with the Uchiha to create even bigger fire. Squad leader, We could join them but the battlefield is really chaotic.

[FUCK, THIS IS A FIRE FESTIVAL NOW. IF WE WERE PLAYING A GAME, WE WOULD HAVE UNLOCKED THE ACHIEVEMENT "ARSONIST". THE FIRE IS GETTING BIGGER. FUCK, DO THEY WANT TO BURN THE WHOLE FOREST DOWN.]

The fire can now be seen in the distance in the darkness. 

Aiko Uchiha: Whoa, It is not a normal fire. They really did burn a lot of the area if we can see it from here.

Kouske: Okay, I do not think we need to go now.

Emi Fuma: Why?

Kouske: Well, Fuma, Uchiha, Hagoromo and my clan, whoever can use Fire or Wind style is co-operating and burning everything indiscriminately. They are also slowly moving ahead towards the enemy to increase the burning areas. I believe even our enemies are flabbergasted at our strategy of arson. The Aburame specially are retreating because they already lost some members. Some Inuzuka and Tenro are trying to put up a fight but many are already burning or have received severe burns. Hyuga is in the same situation. Our allies are mashing Fire-Wind Jutsu combos and even though we are less in numbers, our opponents are either getting burned or retreating to not get burned.

Hagoromo squad leader: Good, we are going and we will provide support.

Kouske: WHAT? but this much fire is dangerous for us as well. Also, our allies will realise that they played too much with fire and I believe many among them will find it difficult to come out of the burning area unscathed.

Hagoromo squad leader: We are going. I will use my Water-Style to create a path.

Kouske: Wait! 4 enemy squads have circumvented the burning area and are moving towards the camp from 2 O'clock. Our allies are busy with their fire festival and have not noticed. Even my clan members can not sense them because these squads are probably outside their range. They are barely within my sensing range. I will lose them if they move a few meters to their left.

Hagoromo squad leader: Then we are stopping them.

Kouske: What? 4 vs 16? Also, you should know there are 2 ninken as well. It is technically 4 vs 18. This will be suicide.

Hagoromo squad leader: Then what do you suggest? We have to stop them.

Kouske: Hmm....Reinforcements are coming from the camp. Oh, looks like our infiltrators noticed our reinforcements. Our reinforcements number 20. The enemy stopped but now they are retreating. I suggest we join our reinforcements and push the enemy back that way.

Hagoromo squad leader: No, there is no point in joining our reinforcements when they already number more than our enemies. We have to stall the enemies so that our reinforcements can catch up. We will stall them and with reinforcements coming from the back, It will be a good attack. We will destroy them.

Aiko Uchiha: I concur.

Emi Fuma: I also support this. We will earn some merits.

All except Kouske were excited to earn some merit.

[THESE IDIOTS. WHY CAN'T THEY TAKE THE EASY PATH OUT? IT IS FUCKING 4 VS 18. FUCK, FFFFFFUUUUCCCKKK. THEY ARE WILLING TO ENDANGER THEMSELVES FOR THEIR MERIT. IF ONLY I COULD PRESENT SOME LOGICAL ARGUMENT BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO LISTEN. WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO WAGE WAR.]

Hagoromo squad leader: Ok, let's move. HAHAHAHA, After we stall them and our reinforcements take the enemy out. We will become famous. I will treat you guys then. Kouske guide us.

[YOU NEED TO SURVIVE IN ORDER TO CELEBRATE YOU DIP SHIT. FUCK, WHY ARE YOU DRAGGING ME WITH YOU?]

Kouske: Hai, Please follow me.

[I need to survive and save myself.]

[Animal Mind Control Jutsu]

[Okay, my kids, your job is to save papa. MOVE NOW.]

The birds under Kouske control took flight silently and animals like rats ran and squirrels hopped from tree to tree to get to the location where Kouske will have to stall the enemies with his squad.

…

Some clouds stopping the little moonlight now had holes so very little moonlight was able to pass through. This was changed from pitch dark to barely visible but enough for everyone to follow Kouske.

Kouske: They have already noticed us. We will run into them in 5 seconds.

[FUCK, There are three Hyuga among them. 1 Inuzuka and 1 Tenro with their ninken. The rest are Amagiri, Hirasaka and Aburame.]

Hagoromo squad leader: Okay, let's follow our allies and burn them with a Fire-Wind combo. Go!

Kouske: [Fire-Style: Fireball Jutsu]

Aiko: [Fire-Style: Fireball Jutsu]

Emi: [Wind-Style: Pressure Damage]

Emi compressed a tornado like mass in her mouth until it had a very high density before being released. The tornado absorbed the fire jutsus and became a fire beam that went straight at high speed. It burned everything in its path. It burned 4 shinobis, unfortunately no Hyuga were burned. The rest did manoeuvres to dodge. 2 shinobis Although dodged, some parts of their body were still burned. They were picked up by their allies and everyone hid.

[OH SHIT! (Wind-Style: Pressure Damage), THIS IS THE JUTSU USED BY KAKAZU OF AKATSUKI. I SAW THE HAND SIGNS. I WILL DEFINITELY TRAIN IN IT. IT IS DEFINITELY A HIGH RANKED JUTSU.]

Kouske squad stopped and also hid. In the line that their combination Jutsu passed by, the fire was burning and lighting the surroundings.

Kouske: Hmm! ABOVE, SURPRISE ATTACK!

Tenro Shinobi: [Tenro-Style Ninjutsu: Beast-Human Transformation Technique]

[Amagiri-Kunoichi]: [Amagiri-Style Ninjutsu: Beast-Human Transformation Technique]

[Amagiri-Child-Shinobi]: [Summoning Jutsu]

[Hirasaka-Shinobi-1]: [Hirasaka-Style Ninjutsu: Transformation Technique]

[Hirasaka-Shinobi-2]: [Lightning-Style: Electromagnetic Murder]

[Kouske-inner-thought: I FUCKING KNEW IT. THIS WAS A BAD IDEA. THESE SUICIDAL MANIACS DRAGGED ME INTO THIS SHIT.]

Kouske and his squad retreated as lightning from [Lightning-Style: Electromagnetic Murder] chased them destroying trees and rocks in its path. Tenro Shinobi transformed into a werewolf that walks on two legs. He took out two big swords and attacked with his wolf who also had a sword in its mouth. Amigiri Kunoichi transformed into a 3 meters big armoured Japanese rhinoceros beetle with six legs and five horns, and orange and violet markings all over her back body. The Amagiri child shinobi, who was 14 years of age, summoned poisonous insects in large quantities and stood on the back of the giant beetle. The Hirasaka shinobi transformed into a giant Oni-like creature with tremendous earth-shattering strength and he has a Oni-mask on his face.

Tenro Shinobi, who has transformed into a humanoid werewolf, came with incredible speed with his dual swords and started swinging them with immense strength towards Kouske.

[Kouske-inner-thought:WHA...WHAT? WHY ME? GO THERE, MY SQUAD LEADER IS THERE.]

Kouske quickly took out his Tanto, He jumped back to retreat and swung to parry the first attack then he parried the next. After Kouske parried the second sword and retreated more, the Tenro Shinobi moved forward and spun fastly around his axis in anti-clockwise and swung both swords horizontally at Kouske. Because Tenro Shinobi was an adult and he transformed, his height increased from when he was human. So his reach increased, as well as his arms length. When he moved forward to deliver his horizontal anti-clockwise attack, he was quite near to Kouske already, even though Kouske retreated backwards using chakra in his feet. His swords were coming from the left side of Kouske and it was too late to change the position of his sword. The attack went through cutting Kouske, then there were pieces of a log in his place.

Tenro Shinobi: Tch...

Right at that moment, Kouske appeared behind in high speed, as if teleporting using [shunshin no jutsu], to deliver a slash from the right side of the enemy. His enemy disappeared as if teleporting. He does not know whether it was the base speed of the enemy or the humanoid wolf was using [shunshin no jutsu] as well. But the enemy dodged. The enemy's wolf came in trying to slash Kouske from front using the sword in its mouth. Kouske also swung to parry. Both swords collided and due to wolf having more weight and momentum, Kouske found his feet on the ground and he was skidding backwards while the wolf was charging and trying to unbalance him. Kouske noticed that at the 60 degrees angle from the ground, in the 2 O'clock direction, the humanoid wolf was on a tree trunk. His body is vertical to the earth with his mouth facing the ground. The back hair of the upside down humanoid wolf hardened like needles and their target being him.

Tenro Shinobi: [Beast-Human Needle Senbon]

When the needles came flying, Kouske dodged towards 3 O'clock with his fastest speed. The wolf also dodged to its 3 O'clock and got out of the way. Kouske found a tree, he climbed it really fast while the needles were getting injected in the tree trunk behind him as he was running vertically on the trunk towards the sky. After running 5 meters on its trunk, he found a branch and jumped on it and then jumped to the tree behind. He jumped over several branches, then got on the ground. He found some bushes and he hid there. He had already removed his scent so that Tenro Shinobi and his wolf wouldn't be able to smell him. He was breathing heavily.

HUFF HUFF

[Kouske inner thought: DAMN! THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE. I NEARLY DIED.....SHIT!]

Kouske was resting when he noticed an attack coming, that was when he cussed. Kouske quickly ran to the front and the place he was hiding was smashed by the humanoid wolf. The humanoid beast came from above striking that place with his swords. Kouske turned 180 degrees and faced his enemy. At the same time, the wolf with the sword came flying in front of Kouske from 3 O'clock. The wolf had the sword handle in its mouth with the blade being on its left side, targeting Kouske's neck. Kouske ducked and when the sword passed by above him, his eyes turned serious. He was pissed with the wolf that had a sword in its mouth. The sword was passing by and the body of the wolf was right in front of him.

[Kouske inner thought: THIS FOUR LEGGED MENACE HAS TROUBLED ME ENOUGH.]

Kouske did a flying right kick that was chakra enhanced Tsunade style. The wolf smiled as if mocking, he spun so that his back is horizontal to the ground and his front moved towards the ground with its front paws touching it, as if doing a reverse somersault, he moved the rest of its body out of the way of the kick.

[Kouske inner thought: DID THIS MUTT FUCKING MOCKED ME!?]

The wolf swung his sword and Kouske parried. The Tenro Shinobi came in with high speed with both of his swords being swung from the sky towards the earth.

[Kouske inner thought: I can not parry that swing, I will be crushed by the strength.]

Kouske used [Shunshin no Jutsu] and disappeared again.

Boom

The place where the attack landed had pieces of rocks flying and smoke rising in the sky as if a bomb exploded.

Tenro Shinobi: Tch, That kid is good at using both the [Substitution Jutsu] and the [Shunshin no Jutsu]. Moreover, he even erased his scent. Last time, we found him because he was breathing heavily and making sounds. This time it is silent as if there is no one around us. He is good right Rona.

Rona (Wolf with sword): awoo.

Tenro Shinobi: I know you are around here kid. Although we are shinobi, sometimes we have to fight head on. You have only been defending most of the time. Come out and fight me like a real warrior.

Kouske was hiding about 10 meters away behind a tree from the 7 O'clock of the Tenro shinobi.

[Kouske inner thought: HAH, BASTARD! HEAD ON, MY ASS! REAL WARRIOR MY FOOT! Whenever I attack him he dodges and his wolf attacks from a blind spot. When I attack his wolf, he attacks from a blind spot. THIS HYPOCRITE PIECE OF SHIT. I either need to separate them and take them on one at a time or take both of them out at the same time. The problem is both are too fast. Hmm...Looks like my backup is here. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, YOU ARE SO DONE. SPECIALLY THAT FOUR LEGGED MENACE. HOW COULD A MUTT MOCK A HUMAN? I AM GONNA TEACH IT A GOOD LESSON. JUST YOU WAIT YOU WEREWOLF KNOCK OFF, I WILL TEACH YOU WHAT A REAL WARRIOR IS.]

BBBBOOOOOMMMM, BBBBOOOMMMM, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom

[Kouske inner thought: Hmm, Looks like I finally took out the 3 Hyugas, 1 Aburame, 1 Inuzuka with her ninken and the 2 injured with them. After our Fire-Wind Combo Jutsu, 4 of the 18 died, 2 were injured. 1 Tenro with his ninken, 2 Amaragi and 2 Hirasaka attacked us. That means 6 attacked us and other 6 were with the 2 injured ones. Those six, 3 Hyugas, 1 Aburame, 1 Inuzuka and her ninken could have attacked us anytime and that was dangerous so I had to give orders to my animals before they could join my little party. Damn, fighting while giving orders to my animals when I am facing a strong enemy with his four legged menace was really hard. I nearly died several times.]

The first two big explosions were from Kouske's rats that had Kouske's special paper bomb tied to their tails with strings. Their order was to do a kamikaze attack on the 6 enemies and the injured. Kouske was also using his [Chakra Sense Scan Jutsu] constantly because when the rats would jump at the enemy, he had to remotely explode the paper bombs on them. The rest of the explosions were of his squad fighting the other enemies. His squad was not faring well.

[Kouske inner thought: My squad is not gonna survive for long, even if Aiko and Emi use their Fire-Wind style combo, as they have just used right now on that beetle. That giant beetle's armour is no joke, I can see through my jutsu that even with their attack they have not been able to damage it. Also, that Hirasaka who transformed into Oni is no joke as well. His strength is something else. That Hagoromo would have died if he did not have such good command over Earth style. Now then, Preparations are complete. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I AM GONNA FUCKING TEACH YOU GUYS A LESSON ON SURPRISE ATTACKS AND BEING SHAMELESS. I WILL SHOW YOU A MOTHER FUCKING WARRIOR. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA]

…

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom

Tenro Shinobi: Looks like others are enjoying their battle. Where is this kid? Looks like I need to use a Jutsu to bring him out. Rona looks like we have to cut some trees.

Rona: Awoo.

[Kouske-inner-throught: Fire-Style: Fireball Jutsu]

A big fire ball with a diameter of 5 meters came flying very fast at an angle of 70 degrees diagonally from above at their 6 O'Clock. Its distance was just 6 meters. Kouske used [Shunshin no Jutsu] to get at that angle and at that distance in their 6 O'Clock at high speed. Seeing the size of the fire ball and how close it was to them, horror filled the Tenro Shinobi.

Tenro Shinobi: RONA DODGE!

Tenro Shinobi dodged to 9 O'clock and Rona dodged to 3 O'clock.

BBBOOOOMMMM

There was a large explosion that decimated 10 meters of area, and after the explosion the fire was still burning. The ground was black and some trees were charcoal, while some do not exist anymore due to the explosion.The Tenro Shinobi and Rona skidded to halt on their respective side. Kouske hid after firing the fireball.

[Kouske-inner-throught: Sealed Binding Formation]

On the trees around Rona, sealing tags appeared and shined depicting that they activated. Rona was paralysed and could not move.

Tenro Shinobi: No Rona!

Tenro Shinobi was about to run towards Rona to help, when Kouske appeared as if teleported and spun around his axis and delivered a Tsunade-style chakra enhanced kick.

[Taijutsu: Kouske style-Whirlwind]

The kick landed on the abdomen of the Tenro Shinobi and sent him flying while his breath got taken away due to the attack. He destroyed 2 trees and stopped after striking the third one.

Kouske knew this much is not enough to kill him given his enemy's enhanced strength and the increased defence he gets due to his transformation. He just stood there waiting for his opponent to get up.

Tenro Shinobi: Cough...Cough....YOU BASTARD! I AM GONNA KILL YOU.

Kouske: Let me show you something memorable.

Kouske brought his right hand to his chest with only his index and middle finger stretched.

[Animal Mind Control Jutsu]

4 Squirrels were on the trees that had sealing tags installed on them. These squirrels were winged. On getting their order, they jumped and glided to Rona and attached themselves to its body. These squirrels' bodies had the paper bomb tied to their tails with a string as one would tie a paper bomb to a kunai.

Tenro Shinobi: Wha...

BBBOOOOMMM, BBBOOOOMMM, BBBOOOOMMM, BBBOOOOMMM

Four big explosions happened at the same time. Where Rona was standing, the ground rose up and fell back. The shockwave spread from there with winds. The trees close to that location were ripped from the ground. The Tenro Shinobi was shocked, he could not believe that his partner died. After the shockwaves and the winds passed Kosuke had a mocking expression on his face. He looked at the enemy.

Kouske: Now we can fight as warriors. COME YOU HYPOCRITE PIECE OF SHIT!

Tenro Shinobi: YOU BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU!

Tenro took his dual swords and ran with fast speed towards Kouske. Kouske also took out his Tanto and ran towards his opponent. Both clashed and Kouske was repelled due to his enemy's strength.

[Kouske-inner-throught: DAMN IT! Even when I use chakra to enhance my strength, his strength is higher. Well, he is an adult and I am a child after all. I am sure my strength will increase as I age and my chakra level increases.]

The Tenro already reached Kouske and swung both swords from the sky towards the earth with full strength. He wanted to cut Kouske with all his strength. Kouske was still in the air due to being repelled before. He could not parry the strike so as his enemy swung, he used his tanto to redirect both of the swords towards his right, as if he was sweeping them away. At the same time, when the swords passed his right side, he used his right foot to kick the Tenro on his right in the face and using his face as a platform, he changed his direction and moved.

Boom

Where the swords landed another crater was left.

Tenro Shinobi: YOU BASTARD!

The Tenro looked at the direction in which Kouske moved. But Kouske was not there. Kouske appeared behind his head and swung his tanto horizontally to behead the wolf. The Tenro ducked and the hairs on his back hardened.

Tenro Shinobi: [Beast-Human Needle Senbon]

Needles were ejected and hit Kouske, who turned to smoke and a log was there. Kouske appeared in front of the ducked Tenro and swung his right fist which was enhanced with chakra. The Tenro was already prepared, he used the same jutsu as before but needles were fired in front of him.

Tenro Shinobi: [Beast-Human Needle Senbon]

The needles hit the Kouske in front, but at the same time, another Kouske passed from behind the Tenro, who was on all four of his limbs. The Kouske behind the Tenro passed by while swinging his tanto at the legs of the Tenro.

Tenro Shinobi: AAAAAAHHHHHHH

The Kouske in front disappeared in smoke showing that it was a clone and the Kouske in the back vanished with [Shunshin no Jutsu]. The Tenro Shinobi fell as his legs' ligaments were cut.

Tenro Shinobi: THIS PIECE OF TRASH!

Kouske: WHAT'S THE MATTER? DIDN'T YOU WANTED TO FIGHT LIKE A WARRIOR?

Tenro Shinobi knew the direction the voice came from but was not clear about the exact location.

[Tenro Shinobi inner thought: What was that just now? A clone that is real? No way It was a normal clone jutsu as normal clones do not have shadow! Still, I either need to come up with a plan or I need to retreat. This is getting dangerous.]

Suddenly, Kouske appeared from the front and was swinging his tanto from right to left. The Tenro got on his legs even though it was hurting, he swung the sword in his left hand to parry and swung the right one to kill. Kouske let go of his tanto and moved forward. He used his left arm to redirect the right swing by his enemy and landed a right chakra enhanced punch directly on his opponent's balls.

Tenro Shinobi: AAAAAHHHHHHH

His opponents had to let go of his weapons due the intense pain and he bowed. Kouske delivered a chakra enhanced left elbow directly to his opponent's face. He then put his hands on the ground and turned upside down with hands touching the ground and his legs raised vertically. He then tucked his knees as if he was a spring about to release force. He then used both of his legs to deliver chakra enhanced kicks directly to the opponent's stomach. The enemy was off the ground with this attack. He then grabbed the left foot of the enemy that was flying away and started to use chakra to enhance his strength. He then started to spin his enemy using his left foot, by now they were already 8 meters in the air. He then sent the enemy flying vertically towards the ground. Kouske redirecting and then applying hits happened in 2 seconds. While him being in the air with the enemy, spinning the enemy in the air and then launching him towards the ground happened in the next 4 seconds.

Boom

Kouske was then falling towards his enemy. He wanted to make sure that the enemy was really dead. A [Rasengan] formed in his right hand.

Kouske: THIS IS HOW YOU FIGHT LIKE A WARRIOR M***** F*****, RASENGAN!!!

As he landed the [Rasengan], an explosion of chakra and wind happened.

Boom

The land in a diameter of 5 meters flew away. After the explosion, the Tenro was lying at the bottom of a crater and Kouske was looking over him. He was breathing heavily.

HUFF HUFF

Kouske: I had to use 60% of my chakra. DAMN! WHEN WILL I HAVE ENOUGH CHAKRA? AND WHEN WILL I BE STRONG ENOUGH THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR FOR MY DEATH IN A BATTLE? FUCK.

He then fell on his knees. He needed to take a breath.

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom

Kouske: huff, huff, Looks like, that Hagoromo is dead. HMM,.....,DAMN IT! WHY ARE AIKO AND EMI RETREATING TOWARDS THIS SIDE? WHAT THE FUCK? I JUST SURVIVED A DIFFICULT BATTLE AND TOOK CARE OF MY OPPONENT. WHY ARE YOU BRINGING TROUBLE TOWARDS ME? YOU GUYS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF YOUR ENEMIES. SHIT! I NEED TO MOVE. DAMN IT! FUCK!

Kouske quickly sealed the body of Tenro away in a scroll and vanished using [Shunshin no Jutsu].
