At Death's door

MC [ So here i am again lying in a puddle of my own blood, feeling death close a hand again and this time with a bunch of guy's on top of me. ]

Leader pov

Bowing my head and giving my report i looked at my master whose face was illuminated by the burning forest with the smell of blood still in the air.

??? { Is he dead? }

Leader { Yes sir we attacked him with more than a 1000 men of the clan and we used both poison and sealing technic, in the end this was not enough so we had the resort to the contingensy plan set before hand that blew up halve of the forest. In the end we have only 40 people left. }

??? { Where is the body? }

Leader { It must have been blown apart by the explosion }

??? grabs the man who had been working under him for years with a terrifying expression.

??? { If i don't see even part of the body it will be you're corpse that i will be bringing back .Do i make myself clear }

Putting even more pressure like he was actually going to kill him ??? said in a sinister voice'

Leader tried to answer him but the pressure on his neck kept increasing. As his bones feel like they were about to break his master released him.

Leider { cough, cough,cough...........Uun understood master. }

??? { As for the rest of you. Start wiping out every trace and do not say a word of this operation to anybody or it will be death for all of you and you're families. }

Lacky31 { But sir we have blown up halve of the forest and all of the ninjas we brought with us are all death. Not only that but we lost 960, that is almost halve of our clan. }

Lacky38 { Thats right sir and what does it matters if someone found out it was us. They would not go against you're clan or our backers and weak ninjas would be so scared that they will not tell anyone fearing you're revenge on them }

Ssheng the barren ground was painted more with the color of red as to heads flew in the sky

The Leader sheaved his sword in front of the terrified gazes of those around him.

He quickly went on his knees and started smashing his head to groveling to the man in front of him and kept asking for forgiveness.

After 5 minutes ??? told him not to let it happend again and traine those under him more strictly.

As he thanks his master for showing mercy and gazes at him dissapearing throug the dark wit his face full of blood he could not help but release a sigh of relieve

After his subordinates bandaged him up still struck with fear, one of them could not help ask their leader why he killed two of them.

The vice leader suddenly stood up and gave the one who asked a big slap.

Telling him that the those two deserved to die and if it was not for their leader's quick action that all of them would be killed

Leader { That man knows no mercy. He will Kill anybody who gets in his way or dares questions him }

But sir why they did have to die for nothing and it is not like they said anything wrong.

Who would dare do anytihng even if the truth was discoverd and we are not those cowerdly ninjas who do everything in the shadows.

Leader { You need to get somthing straight. First our target was no ronin , he is someone out of the ordinary, we came with so many men and methods but we still ended up lossing everyone who came onthe mission.

Secondly someone as powerfull as him should be from one of the Vangaurd Clans and judging from his breathing techniec he is someone importand. Thirdly you need to correct you're misconception that ninjas are weak and cowards. }

Seeing his subortdinate still scowling he sight again and told him that their master is afraid of the ninjas finding out.

His underling could not help ask but of who.

''Who could their master the elder of one of the Vangaurd clans be afraid of.''

Leader { You don't have to guess any longer. He is afraid of the land of fire's ninja village Konoha }

Why the God of ninjas has been death for years and the sanin are just some over exaggerated legends made up to blow their own horn said his subordinate fuming. There is no one from there ........wait unless it is, with a shocked look on his face he relizes,

Leader { Exactly the one most famous from the third greathninja war and the one who killed the legendary Samurai Gogetsu in the seventh Outer Wars. }

Suddenly not only him but all of his subortdinates started trembeling.

Remembering that figure who came abrutly as he left leaving nothing but corpses around him the within the massive army and shatterd body of the one who was suppose to be unkilleble.

Their backs were sull of sweat just remebering it, their leader spouted the name through the crack of his teath still trembeling. Every word was sounded like thunder ringing through the sky

Leader { He is the current fourth Hokage of Konoha and the teacher of Lightning Fang Kakashi and Vanishing Blaze Obito. He is ... the Yellow Flash Minato Kamikaze }

''Bbb but why would he care about this ronin asked one of subordinates his voice trembeling with fear.''

Leader { I don't know. Master did not tell me much. He only wanted him to die without any of this leading back to him or his Vangaurd clan. }

His Subordinates looked at him with ugly expressions sinds they reliazed that their small clan was used to not only to do the dirty work, but als as a scapegoat.

What the mastermind and his scapgoats did not know was that everthing was overheard.

He their target still barely alive and hiding under a mountain of bodies of their comrades.
