Danzo's Entrance
In a cell deep underground with twelve ANBU guards laid Itachi haunted by the deaths of his clan members. Danzo walked in looking down at the Uchiha. "Your brother is following his father's foot steps. He has locked Koharu and Humora in the genjutsu that you are suffering now. I am taking steps to have him disposed of." Danzo pulled out a syringe. "Have no fear though. You will be with your brother in the after life." Danzo injected Itachi before walking out leaving his victim to die.
Tsunade sat at her office stressing about what has occurred over the past five months. Kakashi and Sasuke went missing during the mission to save the Kazekage, two teams sent to capture the Atkatsuki were massacred, the team sent to protect Hotaru had not been heard from, and two elders have been attacked. The Hokage had lost a lot of people within five months that she was beginning to question her ability to lead. On top of that the last elder Danzo has been suggesting Tsunade step down. She had been thinking about Shikamaru's offer of building an elite team. It could be the thing to turn the tide against the Atkatsuki.
A frog soon appeared on Tsunade's desk with a message. The Hokage eagerly read the message hoping it would be good news from Jiraya about his mission to find the Atkatsuki's leader. After reading the letter Tsunade dropped it as tears started to flow upon. Tsunade had learned Jiraya was dead.
Rock Lee, Tenten, Kiba, and Akamaru were out to keep an eye on Danzo from a far. With the other village elders found locked in a comatose state, the Hokage feared that someone was out to destroy the village. The four had been trailing Danzo for three weeks now watching him as he stayed within his house. Now it was night and four were trailing the elder and what seemed to be a body guard, using Kiba's and Akamaru's tracking ability. "Wait." Kiba said quickly stopping the team. "Danzo and his friend have stopped we're also picking up three more scents."
A worried look appeared on Tenten's face,"I don't like this. We need to move in closer find out who is hear."
The three spread out at different points surrounding the area as they moved closer to Danzo and his guests. Danzo and his ANBU guard were across from three unusual figures. On the left was a red ninja who looked as if he crawled out of a grave. The one in the middle wore a green suit with a purple cape and a type of fishbowl on his head. The one on the right was a ninja with multiple blades wearing a black suit with multiple target points. "Alright we're here what do you want?" The man in black demanded.
"Two village elders were attacked recently. I will be next unless the attacker is eliminated. That is where you three come in." Danzo started. "Death Ninja you have gone to the grave and came out twice as vicious and twice as strong. Mysterio your unique genjutsu is legendary beyond anything people have realized. Bullseye you can hit any target from any angle. Together I need you to kill Sasuke Uchiha."
Death Ninja twitched at the name, "You ask a high price. Sasuke is no ordinary shinobi."
"Which is why I have requested you. None of you are ordinary either." Danzo replied. "Bring me Sasuke's head and any payment you ask shall be given."
"Very well I accept." Death Ninja replied.
"As do we." Mysterio spoke up as Bullseye nodded cruelly smiling.
The three assassins disappeared going after their target as Danzo and his bodyguard headed back to the village. "We need to go after them in order to find Sasuke." Rock Lee said looking in the direction of the assassins.
"One of us should go back and inform Lady Tsunade of what Danzo is planning." Tenten spoke up.
"And just who will that be?" Kiba asked.
"Lee and I have been together longer. We know each other's moves and experience. We should go after the assassins. You and Akamaru go back and inform the Hokage."
"Understood."
The team split up as Kiba rushed back to the village. A loud noise from behind soon caught two attention as the saw a large black and white dragon coming toward them. Kiba and Akamaru split catching the unique smell of ink. The duo got back together forming the human beast combination before launching at the dragon. The dragon moved in wrapping around the beast. Kiba and Akamaru spun around ripping through the dragon. Another dragon appeared crashing into the beast's side burying them into the ground. The beast turned clamping it's teeth into the dragons neck ripping the head off. A large scorpion tore through the trees flooring the beast. The scorpion raised it's tail striking as Kiba and Akamaru split. The large arachnid chased after Kiba it's tail on a nonstop rampage. Akamaru rushed in tearing off the back leg. The scorpion crashed to the ground as Akamaru jumped on Kiba using beast man technique. The two launched at the arachnid using fang over fang. Completely destroying the scorpion leaving a trail of ink. Kiba and Akamaru set themselves up as they began sniffing the air. Through the ink they caught a scent of someone. With a howl wolves came flooding out of the forest over powering the duo. Out of the shadows walked an ANBU with a drawing pad and pen. On his back was a short sword. Behind him came Danzo glaring at the unexpected guests. "What are you two doing here?" Danzo asked the two.
Both remained silent glaring at the village elder. Taking his bandaged hand Danzo unwrapped it revealing the sharingan on his palm. Using the eye he went after the warrior on the right. Upon entering his mind the warrior transformed into a dog. Danzo walked over to the real Kiba attempting to extract the information. Kiba attempted to fight but was no match for the sharingan. After five minutes Danzo pulled his hand away. "So Tsunade sent children to protect me. Foolish. Still I may have use for you Inuzuka." Danzo tuned to the ANBU behind him. "Sai send word to a retrieval team. I would like Kiba to be our next weapon X test subject."
Sai immediately drew a pigeon that came to life. "Are we collecting the dog too?"
Danzo looked at Akamaru then answered, "Put the beast down."
"No!" Kiba shouted tearing through the wolves attacking the old man. Danzo moved grabbing Kiba with his right arm choking the young ninja. Akamaru broke free plowing through Sai biting Danzo forcing him release Kiba. Blood spilled as the bones cracked until Danzo disappeared in an illusion.
"Akamaru. Good boy." Kiba breathed out before a loud yelp was heard. Akamaru fell to the ground with Sai standing over him. "Akamaru!" Kiba shouted before being struck from behind.
Danzo stood behind the fallen warrior. "Send a note to the retrieval team. If the Inuzuka is as strong as his mutt he will serve us well." Akamaru unable to move growled bearing his teeth at the two. "Finish the beast." The elder commanded before walking away.
A loud howl cried over the trees signifying the loyal warrior's death.
