Chapter 3 The Sky Clipper

The wind circled around me. It had a density and pressure as my sword, The Sky Clipper, slowly was being pulled from it's sheathe.
The sword was an ancient ninja relic. One I seeked for to use in my wishful battle with Sasuke. It harnessed my wind chakra to an indefinite
amount. And with it I cut the jutsu that binded me.

Shikamaru's face was puzzled when his shadow was released from my feet.

"How did you cut my jutsu?" He asked me.

"This sword," I said as I took Aoto off my shoulder and sat him down behind me. "Allows me to cut through anything."

Shikamaru said nothing. immediately then four other ninja's fell to his side.

"Please, I do not wish to cause trouble. Let me go," I said.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot allow that. You were inside the Hokage's office and I must know why," He then turned to his men
His sword utilizes the wind element. Use fire jutsu's to offset it."

"Aoto, get away from here," I said.

Aoto then confused and worried, headed my command, and ran out into the forest.

"Please?" I asked one more time.

Then the four ninja's dispersed into different directions to surround me. Quickly I noticed the ground beneath me started to tremble. I jumped
up in the air to dodge the one in the ground that tried to grab me by the legs. Shuriken were to my left. I reflected them with my sword with relative ease, but that was a mere distraction. As I was still in the air two fireball jutsu was heading my way. I placed my hands together to use a substitute jutsu. As the fireballs collided in a showcase of flames. I was behind one of the ninja's. As I ran up to him I pulled out my kunai. I do not wish to ill any of these ninja's and just by being near this sword I could accidentally insure a deep wound. My kunai could land a flesh wound on them that may just take them out of commission.

As I came up closer though, I was once again unable to move. I turned to my right to see Shikamaru once more. He then proceeded to unleash four
more shadows that binded my arms, waist, and neck.

"You shouldn't be able to cut through this now," he said.

Then the other four ninja's stood in front of me and unleashed four fireballs towards me. The heat was impressive the moment it released from
their mouths, and I surely would be done for if they land. But as they each came into contact to me, I stood there among the debris and flames. Free rom my binds, and unscathed from the fire.

"Impossible," Shikamaru said.

I looked at him, feeling a regret coming to, "Did you not believe me? When I said anything, I meant," Paused, placed my sword up in the air
beside me, "Anything,"

Then swung my blade down cutting open a rift into the space beside me. I walked inside the dimension that I had cut to reappear instantly behind one of the ninja's. This time I must finish this quickly for this sword takes way too much chakra for this sort of trick. I took my hilt and jammed it up to his temple. The blow alone would have knocked him out but the pressure from the surrounding wind had cut him neck to knee. immediately I went back within the dimension, and within a second appeared to the other three accomplishing the same goal. I came out in the middle of their collapse and faced Shikamaru.

"I do not wish to make enemies with Konoha. I did not land a direct blow to these men. They should still be alive. Please do not follow me," I said
as I sheathed my sword and walked away.
