Chapter Four: A New Adventure Unfolds

"Means speech

'Means thoughts

A young boy ran as fast as his little legs could go. His tattered clothes and dirty face gave the notion of what his situation was. The yelling of angry men and the flying of shuriken and kunai gave the answer to what was going on.

Plain and simple, a chase was under way.

The boy kept running through the jungle foliage, never looking where he was going. He stumbled slightly as he felt a kunai graze his cheek. Gulping in a breath full of air, the boy picked up his pace jumping tree trunks and crawling under dead fallen trees trying to lose the men chasing him in vain. He whimpered softly as another kunai nicked his shoulder leaving a stinging red line on his shoulder blade. The boy began to panic, his pursuers weren't giving up and he was getting too tired to keep up his fast pace. He knew what would happen if they caught him and decided he wasn't going to let him. Concentrating chakra to his feet, the boy zoomed through the trees. Thank the Gods he still remembered his training from Naze-sensei! He was sure he'd be dead right now without it. He kept running pushing to his limits. It wouldn't be long before he ran out of chakra. He knew he was in deep this time. He wouldn't survive the beating that awaited him.

The blonde haired man walked calmly into the forest all the while reprimanding a certain nine tails about his earlier comments.

"You know Kinji that was really uncalled for. You know as well as I do being chosen to be a vessel is hard work and not the persons fault! It's not like we can object to it. If you've forgotten we were all babies! It wasn't our choice to make!"

'I know I'm sorry master. I'll try to not mention it again, but you know there are too many vessels. We demons suffer too you know.'

"Then try not to attack Hidden Villages! You wouldn't be locked up if you stayed away from humans. I know someone tricked you into attacking our world and I know we have killed many demons in fear, attacking and killing any demons even children. That's what happened to you and many others. It was a free for all and it was wrong of us but attacking our women and children isn't right either. Revenge against us just brings trouble. By now you should've learned what revenge does to people and demons alike. Attacking in rage was your fault. Our fault is provoking you."

'You're right Kittling. We both have been at fault. Back there in the East I was surprised of finding the second, third, fifth, and seventh tails vessels. They were used as weapons for some petty war for dominance. The vessels didn't even know they were not demons! It was ludicrous!'

"Yeah it was. Your right Kinji, there is far too many of us vessels. It shouldn't be this way. That's why I stayed and helped out. It wasn't their faults for being vessels used and thrown away for mere convenience. I'm just glad that the war is finally over."

'It won't last long, this peace you've shown them. At least the vessels are finally free from their enslavement to the government.'

"Heh, yeah I know. We humans will always have something ridicules to fight about. If its not money, its power."

'You know you could be a great leader one day. You've come a long way from how you used to be. If we ever get Konohagakure back on its feet you could be Hokage.'

The young man stopped suddenly, turning around to face a line of trees. Out of the trees popped out a small child no older then eight and five KonoSound Jonins. Narrowing his eyes the young man fazed out and appeared in front of the surprised jonin. Kinji immediately wrapped his tails around the exhausted child and began to glow red. A few seconds later the boy was completely healed and rested.

The five jonin stood staring at the young man who seemed to just appear out of nowhere! The young man stood defiantly, making sure to block their view of the child.

"Move aside! You are interfering with official jonin business!" stated a rather skinny jonin with black hair.

"Last I heard bullying little kids was not jonin business," answered the man.

"I said move aside or we'll be forced to take action,"

tytyuiThe man sighed, this was not his week. Just two days ago he had fought two possessed demon vessels and now had five KonoSound jonins to take care of, and all of them carried weapons. Sighing again the man stepped up in front of the jonins.

"You guys must really be pathetic if you're abusing a little kid."

"That's none of your business wanderer!"

"I think it is. You're not touching that kid again," stated the stranger calmly. Kinji seeing how calm his master had become took the cue to move away from the soon to be battleground, and find a nice spot a few miles away knowing his master was very annoyed right then. He smirked and sat himself and the kid down, a perfect place to watch the impending battle and still be safe.

"Well if you won't move we'll have to move you!"

The stranger stared at the five ninjas from KonoSound. One had a large chain, another had a sword, another had shadow shuriken, one even had a boomerang, and the last one had a spear. One threw his chain at the stranger; he simply stuck out his arm and let the chain wrap itself around his arm. He then pulled it out of the KonoSound's hand and swung it back. The KonoSound leap back as the other threw his boomerang. The stranger ducked under it and swung the chain again. It wrapped itself around the sword the other KonoSound held. The stranger then pulled the sword out. He grabbed it his other hand and swung around to slice the boomerang that was swinging back. He swung back around and threw the sword into the chest of the KonoSound that held the shadow shuriken. The other KonoSound launched his spear at the stranger. The stranger jumped over the spear and threw the chain to wrap itself around the KonoSound's throat. He then yanked it and snapped the KonoSound's neck.

The three remaining KonoSound ninjas got into their Taijutsu stance. The stranger dropped the chain and looked at the shadow shuriken lying on the ground. He then remembered the time when he was 12 and in the mist, when he used the shadow shuriken to free someone from a jutsu he didn't care to remember at the moment.

The stranger felt his anger rise as he looked at the last three KonoSound ninjas. He charge and impaled his left arm into the chest of one KonoSound. He took out his arm and looked at the blood dripping from his arm. The other two leaped back and began doing seals. The stranger began spilling his red demon chakra. The two KonoSound ninjas stopped making seals…their bodies were paralyzed in fear. The stranger took out the impaled sword. He then stopped and dropped the sword and let the demon chakra go back in. He instead made seals.

"MIND ERASE!"

The young man watched as sand poured around his victims before finally joining an elated Kinji and a very frightened child. He smiled; those jonin wouldn't know what hit them! That jutsu would erase what really happened and conform it to some missing nin kicking their ass, as well as having them sleep for the rest of the day. It would make sure to cause more pain then they really should. How he loved inventing hybrid jutsu! They were one of the many things he had learned on his journey. Walking up the little hill he joined Kinji and the small boy who was trying to run away except that Kinji's tails wouldn't let him leave. They were wrapped around his waist, arms, and legs rendering him immobile, he cowered away when he caught sign of the man's headband. It had the same symbol as his sensei!

"Um can I leave now," the small boy asked.

"Sure! I just have a question for you. What were those men chasing you for?"

"I accidentally tripped and knocked into one of them while carrying the basket they gave me. My village is currently under siege by KonoSound. They found out about our villages eye bloodline and now they are shipping everyone with the blood limit to their filthy village! I was going to be whipped for my insolence but I escaped so they followed me. I'm pretty sure that they could have killed me. Only one person can stand up to KonoSound jonin and that's my sensei!"

"Damn that sucks, hey maybe I could help out. I don't have anywhere to go."

"Why?"

"I'm what you call a wanderer. My village was completely destroyed."

"Really! My sensei's village was also destroyed!"

"What village was he from him?"

"Some place called Konoha."

"KONOHA!"

"Yeah are you from Konoha too?"

"Uh...no I'm from the East."

"Well I guess you can come. That was an awesome fight!"

"Heh yeah it wa…KINJI WHAT THE HELL!"

A few feet away Kinji was finishing urinating on the jonins.

"Kinji what did I say about this!"

'No peeing on unconscious opponents, but I love humiliating the losers. Besides I'm practicing for those snake basterds as you would say.'

"Sigh…fine Kinji I'll let you off this time, but it won't be so easy next time."

'Yes sucker…oops!'

The young man glared at the fox before he whipped out a kunai. A few hand seals later and the boy watched as the nine tailed fox soared through the air. A rather big splash was heard and was that fox holding his butt with his paws? He looked at the stranger who was laughing with a very dangerous glint in his eyes twirling a kunai in the air.

"Ten Thousand Years of Pain. Never fails to miss its target."

'You ASSHOLE! You are so going to pay for that you little shit!'

"I warned you not to mess with me again. It's not my fault you have such a big mouth."

'Where do you think I learned it from N …shit not again?'

Ten minutes later the group was seen walking toward the village under siege. Kinji was curled up in his master's arms as he was much to sour to even limp let alone walk. He complained the whole way.

Seriously sometimes he wandered why he put up with the fur ball.

Thirty minutes later, two large wooden doors could be seen from their spot on a small hill. Crutching down on the forest floor the stranger, began to observe two guards who were stationed on the sides and spotted four more standing watching in the trees. The stranger watched as they led people in and out of the gates.

'What idiots! Anyone could get in there in henge! What the fuck is KonoSound trying to avoid cause a whole army could evade henged as water barrels! They don't even check their cargo!'

Sighing, the stranger stood up from the ground and motioned for the boy to follow him. A few minutes later he stopped and turned to the boy.

"Alright, look kid I'm going to henge us as fishermen."

"Why?"

"The minute you enter as yourself they'll beat you for running away, before beating you."

The boy gulped and nodded his head. The stranger brought his hands in some strange sign. He felt weird at first but it soon faded. Turning around he spotted his reflection in a puddle. His eyes widened as he stared at himself. He had mousy brown hair and eyes, and he seemed to be wearing fishermen like clothes.

"What did you do?"

"I henged you. It's a basic ninja technique all ninjas should learn."

"You're a ninja! Cool!"

"Eh Heh I was a ninja. I'm not anymore."

"Are you a missing nin then?"

"Remember my village got destroyed. I decided after that not to be a ninja, hasn't worked quite as well as I'd hoped."

"Wow! That's so cool!"

"Yeah, now come on we've got to leave now. Henge doesn't last forever you know."

"Wait what about Kinji?"

"That fur ball! He's probably already inside knowing him."

"Is he a ninja too?"

"Yeah I guess you could say that."

'If Kinji could hear me…'

'I can!'

'Damn it Kinji, what did I say about reading my thoughts?'

'Not to…please spare my ass!'

'Not funny! Where are you!'

'Heh inside already. I henged into one of those pathetic KonoSound ninjas and they never noticed me, even if I had nine fox tails!'

'Gezus that's lame!'

'Heh yeah see ya when you get here!'

'Yeah take care fur ball.'

'Why you…!'

"Ready to go," asked the stranger.

"Yeah!" replied the boy.

"Good let's go!"

They both walked down the hill to face the wooden gates. The stranger walked up to one of the guards, a grin on his face while the boy tagged along behind him.

"Where are you coming from?" questioned the guard.

The stranger smiled and said: My son and I went fishing. We caught quite a catch too," he said showing off his catch to the guard.

"Very well let them through, they ain't no threat," they opened the gates. The young man smirked as he entered with ease.

'They don't know what they've just let in,' he thought grinning the entire time.
