Kuraikage's Onslaught

A Naruto Fanfiction

By Ryu Saiashi

Prologue

A strange man stood atop a large temple, staring down upon the landscape of the Village Hidden in the Leaves and the surrounding area. He chuckled to himself as a cold wind blew through the moonlit air. His outfit was rather simple, yet strange nonetheless. He was a pale, well-built man, maybe mid-20's, with short, black hair. He wore a black Mist Village headband, where the plate was broken vertically in half, a simple white tank top, black pants, black ninja boots, and black fingerless gloves with a white "X" on each of them.

He heard a whooshing sound, and he looked over his shoulder, to a cloaked man, all of whom that could be seen was just a pair of crystalline blue eyes. The man chuckled and gave the one behind him a quick nod, then jumped down into the distance, as another man, who seemed to be made entirely of plants, "sprouted" next to him.

"Is it really wise to send the White X's out so soon?" The plant man asked.

"Is it really your concern . . . Jet?" The cloaked man asked the plant man.

"Not . . . really . . ."

"Ah, well, they're expendable anyway." The cloaked man said, as his face came slightly more into the light, but only enough for one to see the sinister grin upon his face.
