Clash Four: Swordsman Ninja

"I wonder what I should do since Katana is helping Lord Masamune with Imagawa." Tsurugi said to herself while sitting in a nearby tree, watching Hojo and Takeda's armies going against one another.

"Maybe you and I can play together?" a male voice said from behind her.

Tsurugi quickly turned around to see Sarutobi Sasuke standing in another tree, a smirk on his face. Tsurugi glared at him before grabbing and throwing her kunai at him. He grabbed all of them with one hand, angering Tsurugi.

"So, you're with Lord Date's army, are you?" Sasuke asked, cockily.

"And what if I am?" Tsurugi asked, regaining her composure.

"I was wondering if you met another ninja that wields three spears within each of their hands by any chance?" Sasuke asked.

"And what if I did?" Tsurugi asked, knowing full well who he was talking about, "What business do you have with this ninja?"

"My master and lord would like to ask this ninja to join us if they don't belong to any of the other armies. They did say they were from the Suicide Forest which could mean that they are powerful in battle." Sasuke said. "Although, my master may want their hand in marriage if it turns out the ninja is female. He does seem quite fond of them." he added in teasingly.

That seemed to tick Tsurugi off. She slowly raised her hands to the swords on her back while glaring at Sasuke. Sasuke couldn't see the glare from under her mask.

"I will not, under any circumstances, shall allow you to take my beloved sister!" Tsurugi said, charging towards Sasuke.

Katana looked toward Hojo's castle as she sensed Tsurugi's bloodlust.

"Katana, what's wrong?" Kojuro asked, drawing his attention towards her and away from the battle at hand.

Katana stayed silent for a moment before speaking. "Tsurugi's fighting."

Tsurugi didn't allow Sasuke a moment's rest as their battle continued. Every time he would fend her off and run, she would be right on his heels.

"Damn, she's good." Sasuke thought, trying to out run Tsurugi. "Guess that's what happens when being raised within the Suicide Forest."

"You can't get away from me that easily!" Tsurugi exclaimed, appearing in front of Sasuke and made a slash at him.

Sasuke managed to dodge it in time but by only a mere inch. He jumped back and landed on a nearby branch.

"Are all you guys from the Suicide Forest as hot tempered as you?" Sasuke asked, teasingly.

"Oh shut up!" Tsurugi yelled, "Someone who is a shinobi should know what the people of the Sea of Trees are really like!"

"Not that much," Sasuke admitted, "There's still a shroud of mystery surrounding you people. Even the shinobi leaders of all of the villages don't know much about the Suicide Forest."

"Oh? Is that so?" Tsurugi said, putting her swords behind her but not in their sheaths. "Then why don't I show you how strong someone can be from one of the levels of the forest?"

Sasuke's eyes grew wide as Tsurugi began to glow a lightning blue, the energy coming off of her just like lightning. She stayed like that for a bit before moving.

"Raitingu ryu no dageki!" Tsurugi exclaimed.

She slashed her swords toward Sasuke, forming a cross of lightning blue energy. The attack quickly made its way toward Sasuke, giving him no time to think of a way to dodge or escape it.
