Mask of the Dread Wolf
Chapter two
Acid rain
Shachi hefted a pack onto his shoulders Hana waiting for him in the doorway "come on will you" Hana said "we gotta go" Shachi nodded "I know I know I'm coming" Shachi said to his twin
"Shachi Kun a word" a gruff voice asked Shachi turned to the man facing him he and Hana both bowed their heads he stood tall and lean towering over them at six foot six with wild brown hair falling to his neck like a lions mane he wore a white haori over a blue shirt and black pants two great danes flanked him like body guards Shachi nodded looking back to Hana "I'll meet you at the gate" Hana nodded and left with a shunshin Shachi turned back to his uncle the clan head of the Inuzuka
"This way Shachi Kun" Shachi nodded following the larger man into a simple office with few decorations other then a small table and a mural of the Inuzuka clan crest their fang shaped marks with a small triangle between them the man sat down at the table pointing for Shachi to sit
Shachi did so looking away from a picture of Kiame on the table "my humblest condolences Kiinu Sama if I could switch places with her I would" the man held up a hand "do not speak of that death comes for us all the young the old healthy and ill for my daughter it came sooner then expected I wish to only say a few words then send you after my daughters killer"
Shachi looked surprised "How could you know that" he asked Kiinu shook his head "I have my friends in the Hokage tower same as you though it helps that I was the one who recommended you for the mission over myself" Kiiunu confessed "I don't understand why would you do that"
"I'm sure you understand the laws of the clan to be more precise the laws of inheritance for leading the clan it is up to the next generation to rise above the previous and prevail I am not suited for this mission because I would not be able to do what must be done you Shachi Kun you my sisters son you will succeed where I could not I'm placing my faith in you is it misplaced" Kiinu asked
Shachi looked his uncle in the eye then he looked to the clan emblem on the wall "no it isn't"
The three Konoha shinobi with their quartet of ninja hounds ran across the waterlogged earth of the land of rain home of Amegakure no Sato the village hidden in the rain the mud and water threatened to pull them into the ground with every step they took across the perilous terrain Tenzo looked back at the Inuzuka twins"We'll be arriving at the mission site soon be ready" Shachi and Hana nodded "hai Sencho" they said getting a bark from the four dogs
the location of the prisoner exchange was a giant bridge spanning across a raging river up the coast in the distance you could just make out the Amegakure Skyline the Konoha team hid under the bridge on one of the many steel beams that spanned the bridge Tenzo held up a hand there were footsteps on the bridge that stopped followed by two sets of footsteps then the two groups left as one group crossed the left side of the bridge small seeds flew up into the cracks of their sandals taking root in their footwear as they walked away
"The mission begins move out" Tenzo said Shachi and Hana nodded leaping out over the bridge running across the bridge after the Iwagakure shinobi soon enough they caught up to the enemy one of the Iwagakure shinobi looked back in time for Shachi to throw a punch clicking to his fingers together a hidden mechanism in his sleeve activated and a long curved blade sprung out curving along the curvature of his hand Shachi swung his bladed hand slicing the enemy shinobi's throat the enemy dropped dead
"it's Konohagakure" one of the Iwa shinobi shouted drawing a sword while another wove through hand signs "earth style earth dragon bomb" he shouted a stone dragon head rose from the ground opening it's mouth it released a barrage of mud missiles Tenzo sprung to action "wood style wood wall"
wooden planks grew from the ground forming a domed structure protecting Tenzo and Hana Shachi shook off his surprise at seeing the infamous kekkei genkai of the Shodaime Hokage and ran forward activating his other hands 'claw' he ran forward with Yukimaru at his side leaping up he pounced towards another shinobi
"four legs jutsu man beast clone" he called using the two jutsu simultaneously he and Yukimaru disguised as him began spinning through the air towards the second shinobi "iron fang over fang" they called plowing towards the ninjutsu user from Iwa
the ninjutsu user made hand signs "earth style earth wall jutsu" he called slamming his hands against the ground raising a wall of earth between him and Shachi leaping away as Shachi and Yukimaru tore through the wall like a butter knife through a napkin Shachi landed breaking into a run the ninjutsu user prepared to make hand signs when wooden beams rose up wrapping around him binding his body
"we got this get Mutamaru" Hana shouted Shachi nodded and broke off into a run heading after the fleeing spy
Shachi broke the two jutsu's on Yukimaru the partners quickly caught up to Mutamaru the man may be the direct descendent of a kage but to maintain his cover as a ramen chef he'd certainly let his body go a bit though Shachi wondered if it was just for his cover that he'd been letting himself go
Shachi drew a kunai and throwing it towards Mutamaru's exposed back the blade sinking in between the shoulder blades he fell forward with a slouch Shachi walked over to Mutamaru kicking the man's body kneeling down he put his fingers to his exposed pulse " you can rest in peace now Kiame" Shachi said with his hands folded in prayer he stood up and walked away with Yukimaru
"come on boy let's go home" Yukimaru looked past Shachi to Mutamaru's body and began to growl "what's wrong boy" he asked as the body began to grow and expand Shachi's eyes widened as the body exploded releasing purple gas Shachi and Yukimaru leapt back running away from the poison gas they didn't see the figure in the gas until the dagger sunk into Shachi's back Shachi howled in pan pivoting on his foot he let out his claws severing the arm holding the dagger
Mutamaru staggered back holding the stump where his arm used to be Shachi's eyes widened a tattoo on his arm t half oval with a snout like dog and ears like a wolf "where did you get that tattoo" Shachi asked Mutamaru grinned as Shachi stumbled and fell in the mud "I'd tell you but you would die before I could finish" Mutamaru said running away before he succumbed to blood loss
And that's the chapter make sure to review until next time Ja ne
