Disclamer: Don't own Naruto
Ronin jumped from tree to tree. He was about 5 kilometers away the border of the Hidden Leaf Village. Ronin wasn't traveling to the hidden village; Ronin was traveling anywhere in particular just traveling from job to job, the life of a Ronin. Ronin had been traveling for about a week now, traveling from Orochimaru's compound where he had handled some 'capture and retrieve' jobs for the snake man. He paid well, nearly 500,000 ryo. He had spent a fair amount on a new outfit and some body armor.
Ronin was wearing dark green/green camouflage covering about an inch of his ninja sandals. All had been recently purchased. The sandals still had yet to be broken in and were creating small blisters on his feet. He was wearing a wife beater, but on top of that he was wearing a black body armor that covered his entire torso cutting off under his elbow though it covered a couple inches over his armpit. The outer skin of the armor was leather, then came a thin layer of gel, soft normally but when punched it hardened. Though it offered no protected against kunai and senbon needles. That's why beneath the gel was hard boron carbide plate over his torso. There was a small fluid filled sack was lodged in between his armpit protection and armpit. A small IV tube dropped from the pack and ran beneath his wifebeater it hooked into his veins between his fourth and fifth rib. The sack was filled with a powerful amphetamine/codeine. Hanging down and covering his groin ending just before his kneecaps was a soft anti-stab Kevlar. Twin katanas were strapped across his back. A kunai holder was strapped to his right leg, and a weapons pack was stuck to his buttocks. But the article of clothing that stuck out the most was a ski mask Ronin wore. Black with only a small oval cut so he could see. His arms were muscled and tanned. His camos hid his bulging quadriceps. Yes it was safe to say Ronin was one badass fucker. Unlike Kakashi, Ronin would take off his mask when meeting a client, eating, sleeping, and sex.
Yes, anyone who knew Ronin, and that was just a few, would say he overindulged in the carnal desires. Ronin licked his lips, and then decided in an instant he was traveling to tea country. He had heard their women were beautiful and skilled. Just thinking of that set his blood aflame. A small government, no one had heard of him, no one to hassle him. The perfect place for him, and he had the money to pay for it.
But before that he had to get rid of the Leaf ANBU that were slowly surrounding him. They had started tailing him for almost ten minutes now. He had hoped they just wanted to escort him out of their territory. But alas they were closing in. "Oh, this isn't going to be pleasant." he muttered as a kunai whizzed by his neck. They must still be angry about the jounin he had been ordered to capture for Orochimaru. He didn't ask what happened to the jounin. But how they knew were he was Ronin didn't know. "Shit, this is turning into a real bad day." The ANBU were closing in.
Ronin turned 180 degrees drawing his katana in his right hand, while letting his acid green chakra flow to his left hand. He launched himself forward at the closest ANBU. The two flew at each other. The ANBU tossed to shuriken at his chest, but they didn't have enough force to penetrate the leather. Ronin brought his katana down in one fluid movement slicing the man's left arm clean off. Then he flipped the blade back and stabbed back. It pierced clean through the ANBU's protective vest and exiting through his heart.
The second ANBU stopped forming some quick hand signs, and three clones formed launching themselves at him. Ronin formed some quick hand signs then touched his index and middle fingers to his lips shouting, "Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu." An enormous ball of water emerged from Ronin's mouth hitting the four figures. Three exploded into puffs of smoke. The fourth Ronin dispatched with a slice of his blade. He grabbed the ANBU's rent uniform and wiped the blood of his blade with it.
With the ANBUs tailing him taken care of, Ronin brought his two fingers beneath his lip and his second beneath his first two. Sending chakra out in pulses he scanned the area, and then gulped. He counted nearly 30 leaf-nins approaching. He felt jounin, ANBU, elite ROOT ANBU, and two chakras that caused his breath to catch. One was enormous it could only be the current Hokage, he had yet to make her acquaintance, thankfully. The second was a dual chakra, one felt large, the other was bijuu sized, making Ronin feel small. Few made him feel that way. Did Konoha have two Kages? That would be just his luck. Well they'd be here soon. He took a deep breath, drawing his second katana and letting his chakra flow through the blade, letting them glow with an acid green flame. "I'll kill them all. By any means necessary."
