The rain was hammering down hard on Kiba as the thunderstorm raged on above him. The rest of the team was down and even Akamaru had been struck and was now lying injured. A mislabelled mission or a straight out lie from the client it didn't matter anymore, they had been sent in against someone who was far more skilled then them. A simple retrieval mission to grab a couple of scrolls that detailed the corruption of a small lord with a few samurai nothing that skilled ninja couldn't handle. However there was a variable that wasn't detailed in the initial report.
Lighting struck creating a white flash that blinded Kiba for seconds, standing where the bolt had struck was a ninja wearing Anbu armour. Adorning each shoulder was half of the yin yang and he had short brown hair. Two short swords lay attached the the front and back oh his armour. He looked up as sparks flew in a generous arch around his body as he opened his mouth letting out a small amount of mist along with his breath.
Kiba charged him hoping to get the jump on the ninja. Water flowed upward with each step of his trained legs. Nothing was more important then giving Akamaru the time to get the others away to the village to tell what had happened here. His clawed fist went forward and glanced off a carefully executed block the send the moment Kiba had forward still opening up his defence.
A swift punch landed just below his sternum knocking all the breath from him in one powerful blow. Bending over trying to catch his breath he met the metal plate on the ninja's knee. A sickening crack was heard as his nose shattered under the force. The resonating sound from the impact drowned out even the rain and thunder. Only the splash of his body hitting the puddled water on the ground answered the call into Kiba's powerful ears.
"Not... good..." Kiba struggled to say to himself. As he sat up slightly looking back at the ninja standing in front of him with a nonchalant look upon him, the only sign of emotion was the annoyed look within his eyes and the clenching of one of his fists from anger. If his nose was still together he would have been able to tell more even in the pouring rain however the blood now flowing freely down his face made it impossible.
The man had been trying to get information from them for a good part of the fight, he was clearly surprised that they were there just as they were surprised that he was, but unlike them he was in control. One way other he would get the answers he sought. He took up a stance again arms in front getting ready to strike Kiba on the ground. For some unknown reason Kiba moved just before the lightning struck and the ninja's fist collided with the ground causing a scream as he cut through the air. The collision was followed by the crack of thunder that echoed throughout the small valley.
Rolling as he moved Kiba came to his feet, sliding in the wet mud and water. He readied himself as the man got up and looked at him asking him once more why he had come and what business the hidden village of the leaf had in the small castle town. Kiba just spit towards him keeping his face a hardened look. He muscles flexed as he readied himself for another attack.
"So be it, I'll get my answers from one of you eventually." He pulled out both of his twin blades. Kiba readied himself for the attack but even before it started he knew that he wouldn't be able to block it. The ninja took a slight breath letting out more mist as he looked towards Kiba.
The mist as is came out his mouth started to spark as well, almost invisible small lightning bolts interchanged in the air between the small water droplets. They began to jump across the ninja's body and blade seconds after in a miniature electric storm. There was a bright flash and Kiba's right shoulder exploded in a wave of pain as he moved to get away.
Fresh blood was now moving down as he felt electrical shocks ripple up and down his arm. He tried to move it but it fell uselessly down to his side. The shocks slowly started to seize his muscles up as they interacted with his fire of nerves. Grunting with pain and frustration he turned to where the ninja was only seconds of go. Going to turn again he realized that his knee hand lower leg had now seized up and he fell to the ground barely able to move.
The last thing Kiba remembered was the flash of lighting...
