Today, we find Malek Kusabana doing his job, killing bounties as Kurasagakure's deadliest assassin, he will strike from the shadows, rending his targets limb from limb in mere moments and then slink back into the darkness from whence he came. No one escapes this expert killer, who will he track down and take out this time?
"Hey kid!" A guard called out. "Just what do you think you're doing?"
"What? I'm just wandering around." Malek told him. "I'm not up to anything."
"I don't trust you." The guard said, still skeptical of the young vampire's intentions. "You could be some sort of ruffian out to cause some kind of trouble."
"I assure you, I'm nothing of the sort." Malek said.
"Honest?" The guard asked.
"And for true, sir." Malek answered.
"Alright then, I guess you can wander around a little." The guard said, placing his hand on Malek's head. "Just be sure to stay away from the Zaraki district, they don't like outsiders."
"I know." Malek smiled sinisterly.
"Wait, how do you know that?" The guard asked.
Malek grinned maliciously. "I guess you can call me an anti-hero!" He said, knocking the guard out.
"Was hitting that guy really necessary?" Malek's new partner, Teah asked.
"Yeah, kinda." Malek told her.
"You just can't help yourself, can you?" She asked, shaking her head at him.
"Not really, I need to hit something."
~Later~
"Okay, how did that guy tell us how to get in here again?" Malek asked, approaching the entrance to the Zaraki district.
"I think I remember." Teah said.
~Flashback~
"You will go to the Zaraki district and kill the Zaraki leader." Malek's client instructed.
"How do I get in there?" Malek asked.
"That part's easy, just knock on the door and tell them you're delivering ramen, they always fall for that, it's getting past them when they figure it out that's the trick."
~End flashback~
"That's it? Really?" Malek complained, annoyed that his time was wasted.
"Unfortunately." Teah said.
With a groan, Malek moved towards the gate and proceeded with his mission.
Once they got there, they began devising their strategy.
"I'll take their leader while you set up the explosives." Malek explained. "Make sure that nothing is left standing by the time we leave."
"Understood." Teah nodded, dashing off to play her part.
A little later, Malek made his way to the leader's den.
"Hello, Mr. Head of Zaraki." Malek greeted.
"And who're you supposed to be?" The leader asked.
"My name's Malek, and I'm here with a message." Malek answered.
"Very well then, young one." The leader nodded. "State your business."
Malek grinned maliciously, summoning his symbiotic arm-cannon "Shin-Ryū". "Sorry about this, but I've come for your head." He said. "Some very influential and very powerful people have sent me to put you six-feet under." He then proceeded to firing his dark chakra bullets, obliterating his target.
Teah walked in and stood before Malek, appearing to have good news for him.
"The charges are set and the bombs are in place." She reported. "Let's get going."
"Excellent." Malek said, pleased with the report. "Now move out!"
~Later, after escaping~
"Well, that worked out nicely." Teah said. "Should we, like, go get paid or what?"
"What exactly are you implying by what?" Malek asked, confused.
"What? It's just 'what'." Teah told him. "Let's go get paid."
"Whatever." Malek shrugged.
~Back at Retsu's mansion~
"Excellent work, my soldiers. Job well done." Retsu congratulated. "But there's some more targets to take out, if you're up for it." Retsu told him.
"You got it." Malek smirked. "Get ready foolish humans, Malek Kusabana is coming, and he is out for blood.
