RAGE

The sound of the gun shot echoed all all over Tatsuya's ears. Blood splashed all over the place as some drops lands on his face. It was a time of shock and suprise, Tatsuya didn't pay attention to who got shot, his attention was focused on the huge man and the musket in his hand.

"Himawari-senpai!!!"

Ineyo's loud cry brings Tatsuya back to his senses, and facing the victim of the gunshot, it was the small but yet dignified figure of Himawari who stood infront of Ryujin protecting him

*Bwagh

The coughed out a mouth full of blood and fell on her knees, Ryujin, Ineyo, Yasushi and Tatsuya rushes towards her.

Tatsuya analyses the injury carefully and noticed dour holes made by the bullets

"It's a musket, four bullets are released simultaneously to give a critical blow"

Tatsuya stated. Ineyo began to have a panic as memories of Sakono dying moment flashed through her head

"Captain, take care of Himawari" Yasushi stands up to leave

"Yasushi-san, you are no match for that weapon let's make a plan...."

Ryujin holds Tatsuya's leg stopping his blabbering, Tatsuya pauses, looked at Ryujin before sweeping his gaze back at Yasushi, and for the first time he saw Yasushi in rage, and his eyes were open revealing his white eye balls.

Ryujin and Tatsuya carried, Ineyo and Barely alive Himawari to the a tree for shelter, the villages had ran away from the place leaving only Division 8 and the pirates

"Hey mister, are you sure you can fight us"

One of the pirates said

"He had already sealed his fate by touching one of ours, get him boys" And with the Huge man order the pirates ran at him

Yasushi griped his katana and walked slowly towards the raging crowd of pirates. Daggers, bats, sticks all sort of weapons the pirate held as they rushed towards Yasushi.

With an exhale and a kick, Yasushi was in their midst in a flash

*Swish

He swings his sword side ways cutting six of them that surrounded him in halves, he continued on with the slaughter, the pirate didn't know what was happening as they saw their mates drop dead one by one with no trace of Yasushi.

Yasushi didn't give them any chance to think at all, and after some minutes he was don with the 20 men and started walking slowly towards the huge man

"Hahaha, you are strong, but not stronger than this"

The man corks his musket and shoot at Yasushi

*clank

With a swing Yasushi was able to deflect 2, but the remaining two impaled his chest, that didn't stop he kept on moving slowly and majestically towards the man

BAMM

The man shot his gun again and again Yasushi deflect some bullets but some impaled him. Now he was covered in his own blood and stood at a place, his legs couldn't move, but his rage boiled.

"What's that, you finally stopped" The man laughs out

On the other hand Ryujin and Tatsuya were behind a huge tree

*Bwaghh

Himawari coughs out a mouth full of blood

"Ca-Captain..." Himawari stretches ger bloodied hand towards Ryujin who held her close to his body

"Ca-Captain, what's...with that...face"

Ryujin had a face of disbelief, in all his years as a ninja he had experience so many deaths, terror and hearth break, but yet someone as loud, noisy and dumb as Himawari was bleeding to death infront of him and he was shocked, sad and filled with mixed up emotions

"Captain... I will...die soon, just for once...tell me, did you ever love...me" Himawari said with tears rolling down her eyes

Ryujin held her tightly and plants a kiss on her lips not caring about the blood on her mouth

"Tatsuya, take care of her, I'm counting on you"

Ryujin grabbed his katana on the ground so tightly that it broke

"tck..."

He was disgusted at how weak the katana was and just went towards the enemy unarmed

Tatsuya tightly pressed Himawari's stomach to stop the bleeding

"Junior-kun..."

"You need to be quiet Himawari-senpai, we'll treat you immediately"

"Captain, is a cry baby no matter how tough or scary he looks like, it's been six years since I joined Division 8 and all this time I've loved him, when any of his team mates dies he cries quietly in the middle of the night..."

"Be quiet Himawari-senpai"

"...So please make sure....he cries for me..." Himawari went pale and quiet, that's right, she died

BAMM

*clank

Yasushi deflects and round but still stood one place unable to move and unable to fall

"You've done enough, Yasushi-san, let me take it from here"

"Make him pay, partner"

"Yeah"

Ryujin helped Yasushi lay down on the floor

"Finally the strong one has arrived"

BAMM

The huge man shot his gun, Ryujin tried to use his hand to catch the bullet but the bullet blew his left hand hand

"Hmm...."

He stared at his missing hand

"Do you think you can stop it" The said and began to reload his gun, but Ryujin can't just stand there waiting for him to reload.

BAMM

Ryujin lands a punch on his gut, making him vomit out blood, he didnt stop at that, he grabbed his neck uses his destroyed left arm and punched him into the ground breaking his jaw bone

"Waithh..." The man made a mistake by trying to plead, but only enraged Ryujin more

BAMM BAMM

Ryujin throws a barrage of punch at him destroying his jaw bone and breaking his neck, ending his life.

Few days later

The surviving 3 had arrived at the village gate, waiting for the gates to open. After knocking three time in a rhythmic pattern, the huge gate opened, families, ninjas and slaves surrounded the gates to see who came back.

'So this is how it was back then' Tatsuya said as he stared at the people around him

"We're heading over to Yasushi's house first" Ryujin said.

After some minutes, The group were in the residence and had relayed the heart breaking message to Yasushi wife. As usual she was heart broken, but yet held it in and just laughed, she laughed with the notion that stated

"My Husband's name was Yasushi meaning 'Kind'. Kindness brings joy, he once said to me that he will make a family were joy exist, and i promised to do the same, so crying will only break that promise"

What a woman indeed, you rarely see those type

After the visit Ineyo went back home while Tatsuya followed Ryujin to his residence under a special command

After some minutes walk, they arrived at a big wooden gate, and inside was a big house well not as big as Mikoto's, but surprisingly big. Tatsuya followed Ryujin inside the house, they went straight to his backyard, behold it was a place of gravestones, lots and lots of gravestones.

"This is illegal, anything you see here shall die here"

Ryujin said, and Tatsuya nodded

Ryujin went over to the side of the backyard, at the far end were some stones gathered. He places two huge stones on his shoulder and carried over to Tatsuya and drops it on the ground and started carving a name on it with another stone

"I've seen lots of people die. Don't get the wrong idea, these gravestone belongs to people that i knew outside and few inside and just five belong to my division member who passed away in missions"

Ryujin continue blabbering without a care if Tatsuya was listening

"I started Division 8 with Yasushi, i saw him as a brother and a good partner, a month later Himawari got promoted, and she entered my Division. We were the founding members of Division 8, we went for many missions and came out unharmed. As years and months passed, more people got promoted, and after some months they die in a mission, but yet non of the founding members died, i thought thats how thing will continue. I never knew a day like this will ever come, i was truly shot sighted"

Ryujin chuckles with tears forming in his eyes. Tatsuya stood up

"Tatsuya, i see clearly now, a day will surely come when i die in battle, and when that day comes, do well to survive..."

Ryujin stands place the two huge stones in an orderly manner, on the stone the kanji character for Himawari and Yasushi were written on each both

"...Make sure you be the one to make my gravestone"

Three months later

The acedemy was rowdy and noisy, children running from one place to another, while some gisting amongst themselves.

*knock *knock

The wooden class room door slid open, a young boy comes in with some paper in his hand, he had dark blue hair and dark blue eyes, he wore a stand shinobi attire, the class quiets down upon seeing his presence

"Thats him"

"Yeah, i heard about what he did"

"The Death god himself"

The class began to mummer here and there.

The boy ignored them and just placed the paper on the table and faced them

"I'll need you all to be quiet..." His voice thundered around the classroom

"...Without wasting much time, I go by the name Tatsuya Uzui, I'll be your fitness teacher from now on"
