Hide? I'll seek.

He made his way inside the village to find the shooter.

*TUTUTUT*

Black Ink calmly stepped back and avoided the incoming gun fire. He looked up to spot a window where the gunfire came from. It was one of the few 2 story building still standing.

With the nimbleness of a cat and silence of an assassin, he runs up a nearby wall and then climbs up the side of the building to the window. Then, easily slipped in through it.

He goes to survey the room only to be met with a rapidly beeping sound coming from behind and around him.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

Upon hearing this sound, Black Ink swiftly runs across the room and dives down the stairs.

*BOOM*

An explosion occurs in the room he was in. But Black Ink doesn't stop. He immediately rushes out of the building and slams his body into the decrepit door, blocking his path and breaking it. Just as he falls outside. The building starts to collapse on itself.

Dante gets up and looks at the crumbed building.

He chuckled.

Then, he turns his head to a small, ruined house on his left. The walks into it.

When he goes inside the house, a grenade is tossed in threw a window.

Reacting quickly, with the skills of a professional world-class footballer, Black Ink lobs the grenade out the window it came through.

And just in time too cause right after he did.

*BOOM*

It exploded.

Black Ink walked out the house and around it to where the explosion had happened.

When he looked at the wall, he saw a bit of blood on it.

Then, he looks down to find an assault rifle with a broken strap.

'Unlucky.' He thinks as he steps on the rifle and crushes it with his feet.

Underneath his mask, he couldn't help but smile.

'For someone who wants to be a hero, I have a bit of a sadistic side.' He chuckled.

He then calmly walked to another house nearby. Pretending to follow the obvious tracks that were left for him.

He had haki, even if he had restricted it. He knew exactly where the sniper was hiding.

Again, he walked into a small house. This time, he was greeted by a flashbang, but he wore a mask, so it didn't really do much. After the flash smoke grenades were tossed in the room.

Again, he had a mask, so it did really do much expect to impede the vision of a haki user.

But the assault didn't stop there. Three grenades we tossed in one after the other. And the assailant took off running.

"Seeing" the grenades rolling on the floor. Black Ink smoothly pulled out he gun and fired 3 shots.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

Freezing each grenade. Stopping them from exploding.

His gun then coughed up some snow dust. Which it had never done before.

He looked at his gun and examined it, even brought it to his ear and listened to it.

He heard his gun was making some weird noises. Its previous smooth humming was now cracking and breaking.

'Motherfuxker, broke both my guns.' He sighed.

A short distance away, the sniper was running towards the other side of the village where they had parked their getaway vehicle.

Their running form was poor, as though they had been injured. They had blood running down the side of their face.

As they ran, they kept looking back as if they were expecting something.

'Fuck. No explosion.' They cursed.

They looked back again to see if they were being followed but found no one.

However, when they looked forward to continue running, they stopped. And quickly jumped back. Then pulled out a tactical knife and a gun. They raised their guard up and held the knife defensively in one hand and the gun offensive aimed forward in the other hand.

The reason for their actions was because in front of them they saw none other than the figure cloaked in black that had been chasing them.

'What the fuck are they going to do?' They asked themselves.

While the sniper was worrying about Black Ink. The person in question was also having a little breakdown of his own.

This was because of the person in front him. The person that had caused him so much trouble. The person that had collapsed a roof on top of him and even broken not one but both of his guns on the same day.

Was nothing more than a child. A child that looked roughly his age. Dante could see his dark curling black hair peeking from under his head cover. He had hazel coloured eyes, chocolate skin and toned body.

'He's just a kid.' Dante thought.

He sighed.

'Doesn't matter, he broke my guns. He's gotta pay.' He thought walking towards the kid.

Seeing the black figure approach him the kid fired his gun at him. 5 shots.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

Dante easily avoid all the attacks then charged at the boy ducking away from line of fire of the gun.

*BANG*

He fired again. Missing.

Closed in, grabbed the gun then tried to redirect it away from his body to then disarm the boy. But before he could do anything a knife came swiping at his hand.

Dante quickly let go of the boy's hand to avoid the knife. The boy reacted and pointed the gun at Dante and tried to shoot him but Black Ink reacted quickly. He grabbed his wrist and gently guided the muzzle away from himself.

*BANG*

The boy tried to use his knife to stab Dante in the rib but he easily grabbed his wirst and stopped the knife from entering.

Then criss-crossed his hand.

The boy responded by trying to kick his in the nut. Dante quickly let's go and jumps back. And takes a defensive stance.
