Chapter 3
"Ergh," Xaldin grunted as he started to get up after being the victim of the Requiem Brother's last attack. "Don't worry Mitsuki, I'll take these guys down."
"I think not," Re started as he and Quiem started performing the same hand seals as before. "Water Style:"
"Water Dragon Missile!" Quiem finished
"Hmph, you're too slow." Xaldin said almost like a taunt. Before the missile could hit its mark, Xaldin was behind Quiem.
"What the!?" they exclaimed in surprise
"Are you shook up by my bloodline trait? It simply put, allows me to travel at great speeds nearly effortlessly…now, take this!" At that moment, Xaldin thrusted his elbow into Quiem's back.
"Augh!" Quiem gasped in immense pain.
"Just as I thought," Xaldin stated, "You two are weak in close combat. You aren't really a match for my taijutsu skills…now, to finish you!" With that, Xaldin turned on his heel and delivered a roundhouse kick fueled by chakra to the rib cage of Quiem, knocking him to the ground out of commission.
"You'll pay for that!" screamed Re, "You're a fool! Good weapon users such as us are never hindered by our range from the enemy." Just like that, Re leaped back and unloaded the same chain that hurt Kharla, only this time its sights were set on Xaldin. With no time to think, Xaldin let his instincts take control and put his right arm in the path of the chain.
Nearly taking the skin off of his arm, Xaldin quickly switched the leverage of his arm and pulled the spiked chain; along with Re, towards him. He then started to channel his remaining chakra to his other hand. He then unloaded one final punch straight to the prone Re's chest. The former mist-nin was thrown back into a tree due from the force of the attack, knocking the assassin unconscious.
Dandae stared in awe.
"That was amazing!" exclaimed Mitsuki. Xaldin then fell unconscious from physical and chakra exhaustion. "We have to do something!" cried Mitsuki, the normal aura of happiness around her dissipating.
"Here." Kharla said, unwrapping the bandaging from her left arm. Mitsuki then took to the task of removing the weapon from Xaldin's arm. "Wrap the bandage around his arm…it should help."
"Hey," Dandae started up, "Can I set these two guys on fire? Please?"
"Sure, why not." Kharla replied, "Just don't burn the forest down and tie them down or something."
"Yay! Fire! BURN!!!"
After Dandae had finished with his…task, they started back to head to Sunagakure. Fairly soon after, a sword with a blue flame-shaped blade flew down from the air and into the ground. Kharla, Dandae, and Mitsuki inspected it while Xaldin stayed back from his injury when suddenly; a man wearing no shirt, jeans, and a long black jacket appeared with one hand on his the weapon in question. He too had the emblem of the hidden mist village on his person.
"I am Kozan Momochi," he declared, "Brother of Zabuza Momochi whose death your village is responsible for…now, DIE!!!"
With that, the man lunged at the 3 leaf nins, bent on their annihilation.
