Chapter 15: First Kill

The mission began with the group moving towards the Fire Capital at high speeds.

The group were attempting to make it to the Capital before nightfall, so that they can prevent any ambushes along the way, as well as to not keep the Noble waiting

However they were unsuccessful in that endeavor as they were still quite some distance from the Capital city, leaving them to have to make camp.

However before they could, a situation began to arise as Adrian noticed that something was wrong.

"Everyone, stop." Adrian said as they all came to an abrupt stop. Madara was about to ask what happened when he immediately turned around to see a group of shinobi with Senju Clan emblems on their shirts.

"Well, it seems we were able to stumble upon a group of Uchiha Shinobi, and here I thought we would have to report a mission failure to the Patriarch. I believe that killing a few of the younger members of the Uchiha Clan would most likely lessen the punishment I'll receive." said a the man who seemed to be leading the group of 6.

"Madara can you and Kain deal with one of them, while Izuna and I deal with the guy in front." Adrian asked to which Madara nodded and preceded to take out his kunai.

The clash between the two groups began with Adrian bursting forward at the man who led the Senju, with the clash in strength Adrian was being pushed back before jumping back while surprised that he was beaten in a contest of strength, before realizing that his opponent was a Senju, a clan which specializes in ninjutsu and have extremly strong physiques, so he should not be so suprised about being pushed back, especially when he hasn't fully unlocked Gildart's strength.

The fight then continued with Adrian throwing a few kunai toward the man as a distraction while Izuna finally joined him. The two engaged in taijutsu against him as they moved at high speeds that could hardly be seen by the human eye.

Adrian had almost hit the man with a kunai to the chest, however he used hand signs extremely fast as he yelled-

"Earth Style: Stone Wall!"

The wall separated the man from the two of them as he quickly retreated behind a few trees close to him.

However, just as the man was about to attack again, he heard the voice of both the young men he was battling-

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

Both fired the ninjutsu at the man who was completely caught off guard. While on their own they wouldn't have been able to cause major damage, the combination of Adrian's Wind amplifying Izuna's Fire created a powerful ninjutsu that could be considered equal to a high A-ranked or even borderline S-ranked ninjutsu.

The result of this terrifying attack was that it practically incinerated the man, charring him into black, charcoal like color.

Right after this Adrian, joined the other group in combating the other Senju clansmen who had practically lost the belief that they were going to survive this encounter.

Adrian saw Kain and Madara use high levels of coordination to team up and take down the individual they were fighting.

After the battle was over, Adrian simply looked across the battlefield at the dead bodies that littered it.

Seeing this simply made Adrian's stomach turn as he simply remained silent and allowed Madara to give most of the orders as he processed what he had just done.
