Kakazu

Yoriichi was coming back to Uzushiogakire from a mission from the land of Iron.

The towns in the land of iron were having trouble by a group of rouge shinobi. They were killimg and looting merchants and even cibilian travelers.They have also killed multiple samurai guarding the towns or such caravans. Thus, the damiyo himself requested aid from Uzushiogakure.

Ashira send his grandson to do the job. Yoriichi quickly dealt with the rogue shinobi terrorising their land. They were not that much for him, just five jonin level shinobi and 30 chunin level shinobi. He did not even count the genins that he killed.

The damiyo of the land of iron personally met him and thanked him while also giving Uzhushiogakura a 15 percent discount on the purchase of chakra metals for the next 5 years.

Yoriichi did not use his sword's ability to teleport back to Uzushiogakure as he preferred to travel back on foot to enjoy nature as well as to find some ninja who were out for his head.

Today was one such day.

Yoriichi jumped out of the way of an axe that was heading for his head. He looked at the one responsible.

"Look what do we have here boys? A rabbit worth 100 million ryo. It looks like it is our lucky day." A tall bald man with his body brimming with muscles said to the thirty of his subordinates.

All of his subordinates too had bulging muscles. Everyone of them carried two axes with them.

"May i know who the one hunting this rabbit is?" Yoriichi asked amused

Cannon fodder 1 arrogantly said "We are from the Ikaru clan. You should know that our ability with axes is the best among all shinobi clan."

"While, i have not heard about your clan, i am sure your clan have the best axe techniques since there is no other clan that even uses axes. Oh maybe you are not a shinobi clan but a woodcutter clan? Anyways, You are just an insignificant clan from the warring states period who had too big of an ego to join any shinobi village." Yoriichi said

The shinobi from the Ikaru clan were angered as they charged against Yoriichi.

---5 minutes later---

Yoriichi wiped the blood from Muramasa. Around him were dead bodies of the members of the Ikaru clan as some had their heads missing while some had their limbs missing. Some bodies have even been burned so badly that they could not even be reognised.

Yoriichi was about to continue his journey as he suddenly jumped on a nearby tree.

The place where he was originally standing had two hands coming out of the ground. The hands had thick black threads coming out of them.

Yoriichi turned his head backwards as he saw the man who had tried to sneak attack him.

He was a tan-skinned man with long dark-brown hair. His eyes had an unusual colouring, green irides, no pupils and red sclerae. He wore a black-coloured mask covering his lower face and was shirtless which revealed all the stitches on his torso.

"If it is not the rogue nin from Takigakure, Kakazu." Yoriichi said

"Oh, the great demon swordsman of Uzushiogakure knows about me. Its quite an honour." Kakazu said

"Of course i would know you. You tried to assassinate my uncle Hashi, the god of shinobi on the orders of Takigakure. He spared your pitiful life. When you returned to Taki, they betrayed you by imprisoning you for failing in this mission. You killed your way out and stole the Taki's forbidden technique. The higher ups in Taki must be drunk to send you to assassinate the god of shinobi. So what brings you to me?" Yoriichi asked with a smirk.

"I am here for your head brat." Kakazu said as he extended his fist towards Yoriichi.

Yoriichi just dodged.

'Let's play with him a little. I did not have a good fight for ages now. Maybe he can entertain me a little.' Yoriichi thought as he tried to remember the technique that Kakazu stole from Takigakure.

The Earth Grudge Fear was the name of the technique which Kakazu used. It is a secret kinjutsu of Takigakure which transforms the user's body into something similar to that of a rag-doll, held together by hundreds of thick black threads.

'He has five hearts that gives him access to all five chakra natures. It also makes him have a long life.' Yoriichi thought

Kakazu released the seals on his five masks as they left his body as they formed their own bodies.

The five puppets made out of black threads surrounded Yoriichi while Kakazu surrounded himself with thick black threads protecting his entire body.

"Ohh, It looks like that you have come prepared." Yoriichi said amused

"I have heard that your dojutsu some how allows to throw invisible black rods which directly pierces the enemy shinobi's body." Kakazu said

Two of of the puppets opened their mouth as one of them used the Fire Style: Searing migrane jutsu while the other one fired a wind breakthrough jutsu. Both of the jutsus combined, creating a huge fire tornado.

The third one created a earth wall sealing Yoriichi's back side while the other two flanked his other two escape routes.

"Such a magnificent display of power. Unfortunately, it will all be in vain." Yoriichi said with hands in his pockets as the combined attack was about to reach him, it disappeared from existence.
