Red Eagle

Chapter 2

The man known as Wolf soon found himself in need of a job. He applied for and got a job working for Konoha's weapons mistress, Tenten. He started off by making simple kunai. He took great pride in this simple job and turned out the finest kunai Konoha had seen. Eventually, everyone was asking for kunai from Wolf.

One day, he noticed Tenten practicing some jutsu in the backyard. He asked her to show him, in depth, what she was doing. After a few tries, he got the jutsu down pat. The two ran through Tenten's repertoire of jutsu. Wolf was easily able to perform most of them, and was even able to perform a few she hadn't shown him. After a bit of discussion, the two decided to have Wolf tested as a chunin. He passed with flying colors.

His first mission was a simple patrol of Konoha's territory, in the company of Tenten and another chunin named Ria. The trio made their way throught the forests to the border connecting to Sound territory.

"Be wary. We've lost a few patrols out here," Ria warned them.

"Roger. Oh shit," Wolf cursed.

In front of them stood a ninja from the Sound village. He had already gone to stage one of the curse seal on his neck.

Wolf drew one of his kunai and threw it at the nin, causing him to quickly disappear. The nin reappeared behind him and struck the back of his neck, knocking him out.

Tenten and Ria cursed as they watched him take care of their teammate like that. Tenten drew one of her scrolls and unsealed a katana. She advanced quickly, backed up by Ria.

The enemy drew his own katana, and a battle ensued. Neither side could gain an advantage for a few minutes, until the enemy released the second stage of the curse seal.

He quickly disarmed both Ria and Tenten and knocked them down. He held his katana over his head and prepared to strike down...

And a small explosion drew everybody's attention.

Wolf stood with his revolver drawn, smoke drifting from the barrel. He smirked as blood dripped from a hole in the enemy ninja's chest. The nin looked down at himself, then back up at Wolf, before falling to the ground.

Wolf's smirk quickly disappeared. "Damnit, now I only got four left!"
