First Mission: Clans War - 8

[Thunder Rumbling]

[Heavy Rain]

Hikari with Akira and 7 shinobis were hiding in a building. 3 have lost their eyes, they were Hyuga. They were dragged here mid-fight by a few Hyuga, one stayed with them and the rest went back to join the battle. The remaining three were Eisaku from the Amaragi clan, 1 Aburame and 1 Hirasaka. All three were between 13 - 16 years of age and the Hyuga who's eyes were alright was 20. The three blind Hyuga's were in their 20s.

Hikari: If I knew that kid is this dangerous then I would have accepted his offer. SHIT! I should have thought better.

She was biting on her thumb's nail in frustration.

Akira: Hikari-sama, maybe we can still offer him something?

Hikari: I do not know. Let's pray that he dies.

BBBBOOOOOOMMMMMM

A big explosion happened that frightened them. This was an explosion from the combined paper that everyone was surrounding. It also took out all of them.

Hikari: What Happened? Did he die?

[Hyuga with eyes]: [Byakugan], No, everyone was killed. He is coming. We should make a run for it.

All of them came out of the building and stopped. No one tried to run, because they could see a lot of birds in the sky circling above them.

Kouske appeared at the top of a building in front of them.

Kouske: Hi..ka...ri...sama, Did you miss me? Let's have a date.

Kouske said Hikari's name one syllable at a time playfully. He had a playful innocent smile on his face.

[Hyuga with eyes]: EVERYONE, GET READY FOR BATTLE!

The 4 that could fight got ready.

Kouske: Do you guys seriously think you can defeat me? When I took everybody out?

[Hyuga with eyes]: You used tricks and deception. If you fought head on then you would have died.

Kouske: Correct, But we are shinobi, are we not? We are trained to take our opponents by surprise. Also, it was 1 Vs 35. You 4 hid when things got dangerous. So, I do not think you have any right to say anything when your side was the one that surrounded me.

Hikari: How about a deal? I will free Tsuchimikado and sign a peace treaty with him. You can take him back.

Kouske: HAH! Now you want to free Tsuchimikado and sign a peace treaty? BITCH, THE WORLD ISN'T SO EASY. WHEN I OFFERED YOU THE DEAL THEN YOU WERE ARROGANT BECAUSE YOU HAD ME SURROUNDED. NOW YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER SO YOU ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE DEAL THAT YOU WERE NEVER WILLING TO BEFORE? WHAT A JOKE!

Hikari: You should think this through. Your clan needs Tsuchimikado.

Kouske: HAH! still scheming you vixen. You control his territory. He spent all the money to hire as many shinobi as he could. He has nothing now. What's more, I did not do 1 Vs 35 for him. NO, NO, NO. I DID IT BECAUSE SOMEBODY WAS GETTING TOO ARROGANT, BECAUSE SHE HAD 35 SHINOBIS. OH, SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD. NOW, THIS IS WHAT I CALL KARMA. LET ME FINISH THIS LESSON OF KARMA. HAHAHAHAHAHA. YOU ARE GOING DOWN. HERE I COME.

Kouske used [Shunshin no Jutsu] signless and was already upon Hikari, he was swinging his tanto from left to right to behead her when a shinobi behind her dragged her back and saved her. Kouske's blade passed while he was still in the air.

Eisaku: [Ninja Art: Poison Senbon]

Eisaku spit several needles coated with poison. Kouske's body moved forward so that it was making a 60 degree angle and he spun anti-clock wise as poison needles passed just a few centi-meters away from his chest. He also threw his tanto towards Eisaku as his body spun. The Hyuga was behind Kouske and as he landed on his feet, a palm strike came in.

[Kouske-inner-thought: SHIT! [Gentle Fist]]

Kouske used [Shunshin no Jutsu] and disappeared, while Eisaku dodged his tanto and it was stabbed to the ground.

[Hyuga with eyes]: RUN AWAY HIKARI-SAMA. WE WILL STOP HIM FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN.

Hikari took Akira and started running. Kouske appeared on top the building from which he started his attack.

…

[Thunder Rumbling]

[Kouske-inner-thought: No point in me engaging them directly. I could take all of them down head on but it would waste too much time. Also, that diamyo is running even though I have a date with her. How heartless can she be? What's more, this fucking rain. I am fed up with the weather as well.]

[Hyuga with eyes]: We have to stall him here.

Eisaku: It is not gonna be easy.

[Aburame clan member]: Hirasaka, can you use your clan's special transformation technique?

[Hirasaka member]: No, I am much too young. I have not even started practicing it.

Kouske: You know, I don't have time for this bullshit. Bye Bye.

Kouske raised only his right hand with index and middle finger extended and brought the hand towards his chest.

Kouske: See you in another life.

[Hyuga with eyes]: EVERYONE GET CLOSE TO HIM THAT WAY HE WON'T EXPLODE THE BIRDS.

Some birds came in towards them but everyone aside from the 3 blind Hyugas moved towards Kouske while dodging. Kouske wasn't too far so he decided to increase the distance from them because he did not want to be in the blast radius.

[Hyuga with eyes]: I AM NOT LETTING YOU GO.

The Hyuga increased his speed to the maximum and he was upon Kouske, who had a surprised expression. A palm strike landed on Kouske to injure him from inside due to [Gentle Fist]. There was smoke and several birds came out.

[Hyuga with eyes]: OH NO!

The other 3 were right behind him and were about to attack Kouske when they saw him substitute with birds.

BBBBBOOOOMMM, BBBBBOOOOMMM, BBBBBOOOOMMM, BBBBBOOOOMMM, BBBBBOOOOMMM

The first 3 explosions took out the 4 attacking Kouske, while the last 2 took out the blind helpless shinobis. All were explosions from the special paper bombs. The shockwaves and wind showed how deadly the explosions were. After the shockwave and wind passed, Kouske came out and picked his tanto.

Kouske: tch, that Eisaku survived using [Reverse Summoning] again. This time I was keeping an eye. Even with my acting that bastard got away. I don't know whether he is a coward or just careful. Well, If I meet him again I will take him out in a way so that he won't know I am attacking. Now then, where is my beautiful date for the night? Hmm, She hasn't gone far. HERE I COME MY HIKARI ONEE-SAN. WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY? GIVE ME A CHANCE TO PUT THIS LONG AND HARD THING(He means his tanto) IN YOU.

Kouske disappeared from there.

…

[Thunder Rumbling]

[Heavy Rain]

Hikari and Akira were running at their top speed. It has only been 5 minutes since they ran away. They were breathing heavily and trying to get as far away as possible.

Hikari: Hurry, Akira we need to get into the castle Huff...Huff....

Akira: I don't think even hiding in the castle would help...Huff...Huff....He is a shinobi after all.

Hikari: DO YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA?

Kouske: I have one.

Both Hikari and Akira stopped and looked towards their 10 O'clock. Kouske was standing on a building.

Kouske: I have something long and hard(He means his tanto). Let me put that inside you pretty Onee-sans.

Hikari: Huff...Huff...Listen, I am willing to apologise. No, How about I free Tsuchimikado and give this territory back to him. Huff...Huff...I don't think you will get this kind of deal anywhere else.

Kouske: HAHAHAHAHAHA, what a good joke. I could just kill you and free Tsuchimikado and it would be the same.

Akira: What would it take for you to spare our lives?

Kouske: A wise man once said, time is money. You wasted too much of it and you refused when I gave quite a good offer. The time for negotiation has passed. It is now time for KARMA BABY!

Hikari: I will free Tsuchimikado, sign a peace treaty with him, leave this territory and also, I will pay him quite a big sum. Please, would that be enough for you to spare our lives?

Kouske: I don't want Tsuchimikado free. Hell, he won't appreciate it even if I saved him. He is a scumbag as well so it would be better for everyone that he died. Now, good bye.

Kouske disappeared from his place and appeared in front of both Hikari and Akira and swung his tanto.

[Earth Style: Tunnelling Jutsu]

The earth below Hikari and Akira softens and holes formed, their body passes through them before the tanto claimed their lives.

[Kouske-inner-thought: WHAT!]

[Earth Style: Rock Pillar Spears]

Multiple spikes of earth formed and grew right under Kouske to pierce him.

[Kouske-inner-thought: SHIT! THERE IS SOMEONE UNDERGROUND.]

The biggest and longest spike was in the middle and was moving towards Kouske to pierce him. Kouske turned upside down and used his left hand to grab the circular part of the cone and then moved to dodged. He landed on the flat ground, disappeared and reappeared on top of a building.

[Kouske-inner-thought: DAMN IT! I NEVER THOUGHT OF SENSING UNDERGROUND. HMM, THERE ARE FUCKING 3 MORE CHAKRAS ASIDE FROM THE DIAMYO AND HER ATTENDANT. FUCK!]

One hole formed on the ground and insects started pouring out.

[Kouske-inner-thought: AN ABURAME! FUCK! WHO ARE THE OTHER TWO? HMM, OH YES. I CAN USE THAT HOLE.]

Kouske made hand signs and jumped. He was right above the insects and the hole, then he executed his jutsu.

[Fire-Style: Fireball Jutsu]

[Kouske-inner-thought: I AM GONIG TO TURN THE UNDERGROUND INTO AN OVEN.]

He breathed a stream of fire that burned the insects and poured into the new hole. A few meters away a big hole formed and Kouske's enemies with diamyo and her attendant came out. The smoke and some fire could also be seen behind them, showing that if they were any late then they would have been cooked.

[Kouske-inner-thought: An Aburame, An Inuzuka with his ninken and a Hyuga. Hmm, DAMN IT! THAT INUZUKA AND ABURAME ARE THE ONES FROM THE AMBUSH. THAT INUZUKA CAN SUMMON A GIANT WOLF AND COMBINE WITH IT AND THAT ABURAME CAN SUMMON A GIANT BEETLE THAT HAS TOUGH ARMOUR. SHIT! THINGS GOT A LOT DIFFICULT.]

Mugenjin Inuzuka: SHIT! THAT BASTARD! I recently mastered those jutsus and I thought we would not need to come out to kill him but he forced us out Fumio.

Fumio Aburame: Looks like our opponent shouldn't be underestimated just because he is a child.

Kenzo Hyuga: Hikari-sama, looks like we reached at a good time. Things are not looking good here. Thank God our clan heads sent us here to give an update otherwise I fear we would have lost you.

Hikari: Be careful, look at the sky. All those birds have paper bombs attached. He killed so many shinobis using those.

Kenzo Hyuga: Don't worry Hikari-sama. All three of us are quite strong and each of us are heirs of our respective clans.

All three of them were males and in their 20s. They were close in age to each other.

[Kouske-inner-thought: THEY ARE CLAN HEIRS? SHIT! NO WONDER THAT INUZUKA AND ABURAME ARE SO STRONG. I DON'T KNOW HOW STRONG THAT HYUGA IS, BUT HE IS PROBABLY FROM THE MAIN FAMILY. SHIT! I HAVE CLOSE TO 60 BIRDS REMAINING. SOME WERE KILLED AND I USED SOME AS WELL. THEY ARE DEFINITELY ENOUGH BUT I STILL HAVE A FEELING IT WILL NOT BE EASY.]

Kenzo Hyuga: Mugenjin, take care of the birds.

[Summoning Jutsu]

[Human Beast Mixture Transformation — Three-Headed Wolf]

The Inuzuka summoned a 7 meters big white wolf, got on top of it with his ninken and merged with the wolf. After the smoke disappeared, there was a three headed wolf now.

Mugenjin Inuzuka: [Lighting Style: Heavenly Formation Lightning Bolt]

Several threads of lightning bolts danced around the three headed wolf's body, then all the threads moved to the clouds as if a massive thunderbolt was being sent. Even though all the threads did not join together, they were just quite close to each other while flying towards the clouds.

[Thunder Rumbling]

The thunder in clouds changed and then several lightning bolts were released from the clouds.

Boom

Several thunderbolts flashed even faster than eyes could see and only a boom was heard with a flash of light. All the birds in the sky turned black and died. The birds started falling lifeless and the paper bombs attached on them were already black as if they were burned already. The paper started to turn to pieces as the birds were falling.

Mugenjin Inuzuka(Three headed wolf form): Done. Now time for that pipsqueak....

When the three headed wolf looked to where Kouske was, he could not see him. Kouske disappeared as the big boom happened. His senses were screaming ever since the three appeared to run away. So when he saw the three headed wolf releasing lightning to the sky, he used [Shunshin no Jutsu] signless and made a run for it.

Three headed wolf: THAT PIPSQUEAK.

Kenzo Hyuga: HE IS RUNNING TOWARDS 3 O'CLOCK.

Fumio Aburame: [Summoning Jutsu]

The Aburame summoned a giant beetle and got on it and the beetle started to race towards 3 O'clock while destroying all the buildings in its way as if a bulldozer. The three headed wolf overtook the beetle and showed its speed. It was faster. The Hyuga was also about to follow but was stopped by Hikari.

Hikari: DON'T! ALSO, STOP YOUR ALLIES AS WELL.

Kenzo Hyuga: Why?

Hikari: Our enemy is too dangerous. Also, this night has taught me he is a master of deception, tactics and surprise attacks. I do not want to lose you guys as well. Enough shinobis have already died.

Kenzo Hyuga: This is our chance to kill him.

Hikari: Or this is a trap in which he is luring everyone. I do not want to take any chances.

Kenzo Hyuga: But....Fine.

Kenzo Hyuga took out a whistle and blew it. There was no sound from the whistle but the three headed wolf heard it from far away. The wolf stopped.

Three headed wolf: What? Retreat? Why?

The Inuzuka was contemplating whether to listen to the order or continue to pursue. After thinking hard. The wolf decided to retreat.

Three headed wolf: It might be an order from that diamyo. Shit! I can't believe I let my prey escape.

The wolf decided to run back and just as it ran a few meters back the giant beetle came into its view as it demolished another building.

Fumio Aburame: Why are you coming back?

Three headed wolf: The whistle was blown. We have been ordered to retreat.

Fumio Aburame: Hmm....It is probably Hikari-sama. Well, not much we can do. We will take out that enemy next time.

As both were returning the wolf stopped and looked back without turning.

Fumio Aburame: What?

Three headed wolf: It is strange.

Fumio Aburame: What is?

Three headed wolf: Nothing, a part of me is telling me that our enemy is hiding in that direction. I just get this feeling. Ever since our fight started I could not smell his scent. Also, in this rain it is even more difficult and close to impossible to smell someone. Of course, I do not smell him even now. But I am just getting this feeling that our enemy has not left and is hiding. Waiting for us to pursue him. That is also one of the reasons I decided to retreat.

The Aburame looked in the direction the wolf was looking atop his beetle.

Fumio Aburame: You mean, our enemy laid a trap and is waiting for us to bite the bait.

Three headed wolf: I am not sure, but I just get this feeling.

Fumio Aburame: Then all the more reason not to pursue. Let's return and decide what to do next. I am sure Kenzo can use his Biyakugan to give us some answers.

…

[Kouske-inner-thought: They decided to retreat? DAMN IT! MY FINAL TRAP IS USELESS.]

Kouske was hiding in a building. His birds were definitely dead and even the paper bombs attached burned away like normal paper. But some of his birds were killed when he was doing his 1 Vs 35. Those birds' corpses were lying on the ground. There are quite a lot. He was waiting for his enemies to come into range and he was gonna blow the paper bombs attached to those corpses but unfortunately, his enemies decided to retreat.

[Kouske-inner-thought: Now what to do? I can not leave my paper bombs here. Hmm, That fucking Hyuga is using his Biyakugan. No point in staying now. Let's blow every paper bomb to give a parting gift and scram. Looks like I will have my date with the diamyo another day.]

He started retreating and went quite far back then he brought his right hand close to his chest, only the index and middle fingers were open.

BBBBBOOOOOOMMMMMMMM

All the paper bombs exploded at the same time. Close to 30 paper bombs exploded. The ground at the centre of the explosion flew in the air as if liquid. After that shockwaves and winds followed which destroyed surroundings and created more damage. After everything subsided, The centre of the explosion had smoke rising. There was probably a big crater in that place. How deep Kouske does not know. The diameter of the smoking area is 50 meters and 25 more meters around the 50 meter first circle, everything was destroyed.

Kouske: Next time Hikari Onee-san, you will taste my big and hard thing (he means his tanto).

Kouske then disappeared from there.

…

There was an earth dome surrounding Hikari, Akira and other shinobis. It was raised by the Inuzuka. But the dome was broken in several places showing that It had to endure the devastating effects of the shockwaves. Also, some of the pieces of the stone when dis-attached from the dome, hit them in several places and wounded them. Hikari was also wounded and blood was flowing from her head. Thankfully, the stone's sharp edge did not hit her otherwise she would have died. Everyone in the dome was hit by stones and all were injured. Hyuga specially had some sharp stones hit him like bullets in the abdomen.

Mugenjin Inuzuka: SHIT! If I hadn't raised the dome then the shockwaves would have been much deadlier. We are lucky that we survived with this much.

Kenzo Hyuga: SHUT UP AND SOMEONE GET THESE STONES OUT OF ME AND STOP THE BLEEDING.

Fumio Aburame: Retreating was a good idea or we would have died.

Hikari: I knew that was a trap. Looks like I am understanding how he thinks.

Akira: Hikari-sama, you were amazing. How did you know that he would have more paper bombs? Also, how did you know that we should hide behind something?

Hikari: I just had a feeling. Thank God I was correct and you guys listened. When you guys looked at me after I told you that we should take cover, I knew you were thinking I am some idiot or something.

Kenzo Hyuga: Not to be disrespectful, but I really did think why are you going to such lengths. Thankfully I agreed. Otherwise, the shockwaves were enough to severely injure us.

Mugenjin Inuzuka: I will remember that kid. Next time we meet I will definitely kill him.

Fumio Aburame: If you go alone then you will fall into a trap and die. We should always be cautious from now on whenever we meet him on the battlefield.

Hikari: He is too dangerous. What's more, he is still so young right now. I am frightened by the thought of how dangerous he will become when he becomes older. Kenzo, send messages to all the clans, I am putting a bounty on his head. Also, convene a meeting.

Kenzo Hyuga: A meeting? for what?

Hikari: I am gonna ask all the clans to destroy that kid and his clan. He is too dangerous and we do not know whether his clan will spew more like him. I would rather we erase him and his clan from the existence here and now. Hurry, If you can not go then send either Mugenjin or Fumio. I want a meeting and I want all the clans to gather together and erase that kid and his clan.

Unbeknown to Kouske, he and his clan are in danger.
