Ch 4
The sound of waves washing up onto the shore was music to the people of Kiri's ears; they were an island and loved the ocean the wild that lived in its hidden depts. But that wasn't what Kabuto Yakushi, no he was hear for someone. Someone who was needed for Orochimaru but this man wasn't to be trusted even if Orochimaru helped him go into hiding. Kabuto had orders to retrieve this man and bring him to the snake Sanin. Through the fog he spotted the house he lived in. It wasn't much just a small dock house with a boat. A single light was peeping out of the small widow that was next to the door. Kabuto tightened his clock and proceeded to the dock house. He too one last look to see if he was being followed, when he wasn't he gently knocked on the door.
The sound of footsteps where heard on the other side and a rough voice came from inside "Who is it?"
"A guest I am only, to see the silent swordsman of the mist." Kabuto replied he didn't like this plan but it was the only way to get back Tsukimaru and this man was the best for the job. 'I have a bad feeling that Lord Orochimaru is going overboard on how to get Tsukimaru back.' He sighed and waited for a reply.
"That not a very good reason." The man said "What business do you have with me?"
Kabuto smirked "One that pays in blood."
The door opened to show a large muscular man wearing only a dark green vest which showed his huge muscles and black pinstriped pants his blonde hair was that of a military style and a scowl was on his face. "Inside, will talk there." He said allowing Kabuto to enter his small house. A fire was burning in a fire pit that sat in the center of the house on the fire was a large pot. The man took the pot off the fire and placed it on a wooden table after doing so he fetched two wooden bowls with spoons and a ladle. "I have soup ready. You must be hungry form your long journey, Kabuto Yakushi." The man spoke while scooping soup into both bowls with the ladle. He returned to the fire and handed one bowl to Kabuto after saying a prayer. He locked eyes with the grey haired teen. "What business does the great Orochimaru have for me I'm sure it must be important to call for my services? He asked before taking spoon full of hot steamy soup into his mouth.
"Lord Orochimaru is in need of your services, Zanken Mushin and it's of great importunes." Kabuto said while eating his soup.
"And what would it be, that is so important to him for ask for my service?" the blond man asked.
"We lost a test subject and had been tracked to Konoha where he lives as a ninja."
The blond man known as Zanshin frowned "I have to interest in getting back a test subject for you." He replied and ate more of his soup.
Kabuto know that wouldn't work so he was going to make this easier. "You know of the Tensho clan?"
"I've killed many of them with my blade they give me a good fight. Why do you ask?"
"Because our test subject is a Tensho."
Zanshin stopped and stared at his blow. A Tensho clan member in Konoha? This was his lucky day. His face showed a devil splitting smile. "Who the targets name?" he asked.
Kabuto smiled evilly this was too easy Shin was perfect for this he was mast of the silent killing and if that failed then he could use his powerful strength to win the fight. "The test subject name is."

The arena was a large building with no ceiling and was the area for the finals in the Chunin exams held at Konoha, it could hold half of the population in the village but right now only 16 people and two animals 15 were in the stance and 3 were on the field. Team 7, 8, 10, and Guy, there senseis, and the Hokage and her assistant.
"I can't believe we have a Tensho clan member in our village." Guy said with a serious tone.
His team looked at him curiously wondering what he meant by that. They had never seen their sensei this serious about a kid before. Whatever it was they needed to find out. Might Guy looked at his students and opened his mouth to answer Lee's question. "The last time both I and Kakashi saw a Tensho clan member was during the third great ninja war. It's been so long now that I've almost forgotten about them."
Meanwhile Kakashi was sitting with Yamato and team 10 "Kakashi is it true you fought alongside these warriors?" Yamato asked the one eyes man.
"Yes. Many times during the last war. Guy and I have seen what the Tensho clan can do."
Choji leaned over "What's so great about them?"
"You'll see when Tsukimaru arrives." The silver haired Jonin answered.
On the field team 7 stood with Sakura to the right Sai to the left and Naruto in the center. It had been an hour since they arrived and Naruto was getting annoyed.
"Man, where is he? It's been an hour already. I hope he's not like Kakashi." The blonde said.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew into the arena and a large amount of chakra too, suddenly a figure jumped over the wall and landed in the arena. When the dust cleared it revealed Tsukimaru was wearing black hakama pants, a black obi sash were he carried his sword in, a white gi shirt and on each arm going front his wrist to elbow, were grey bandages which also were wrapped around his feet. His blue eyes showed the look of calm determination. The whole look gave him the appearance of a samurai. He looked at his opponents "Sorry it took so long but I just needed to wear these." He said looking at the bandages. "So you three are my opponent?" he asked,
The three teens took a fighting stance which meant yes to the white haired boy.
Suddenly the white haired boy walked slowly toward them not making an attempt to fight.
"What is he doing?" Sakura asked.
"Hold up before we fight lets at least wish each other the best of luck. Put it there Naruto." Tsukimaru said extending his hand.
Naruto happily took Tsukimaru's hand but was suddenly thrown across the arena and into the wall. 'Bastard he beat me to the punch.' Naruto had planned to do the same thing but was too slow.
Tsukimaru looked at the pinket "So you next?"
Sakura blinked at seeing Tsukimaru's speed and power but cast it aside and charged forward ready to see what he could do. "Let's see how you do in Taijutsu?" she asked.
"Alright." Tsukimaru answered and sidestepped her punch, then sidestepped again by dodging a back leg kick.
Sakura swiftly turned on her heels and sent another punch to his face. Trying not to put much force behind it. Only for it to be dodged.
"Come on Sakura I don't want to do this show me what you've got. Come at me with full force as if you're trying to kill me." Tsukimaru said and stepped back quickly looking at Naruto who was joining his partner and then toward Sai. Who had disappeared he smirked know where he was, he squatted and then jumped high in the air and was face to face with a surprised Sai he sent a powerful punch to his face only for it to miss. Quickly he turned his body and sent a roundhouse kick to his side knocking him off the ink bird he created but he wasn't done yet he grabbed the Root ink user by the throat and while falling he turned his body in mid hair and threw him into the arena wall. One he landed he looked up to see a swarm of kunai heading toward him. He easily dodged every one up the last. Once the last one past he quickly grabbed it and threw it back. He watched as Sakura was forced to throw a shuriken to block it. Her eyes had left Tsukimaru allowing him to jumped and dirt slide to her left and send a powerful elbow to her side sending her flying. "This is ridiculous I thought you were the strongest of your group. Come one stand up and fight me like you mean it. Use a Jutsu, trick me, or at least try and wound me. I don't want to fight weak opponents." He said.
"If you say so Wind Style: RASENGAN!"
Tsukimaru turned to see Naruto inches away from him with the 4th Hokage's famous attack; The Rasengan. The blue ball of chakra was closing closer to him. Tsukimaru only grinned in excitement "HELL YEAH, NOW WHERE TALKING!" his hand moved quickly and with lighting speed his sword was being drawn and not just being drawn but was holding back the Rasengan.
"What the hell! His sword is holding back Naruto's attack!" Kiba said in shock.
Shizune tunred to her master, "Lady Tsunade how is a simple sword holding back the 4th Hokage's original attack?"
"The Tensho clan's have found the hardest metal in all the land, that is true but it can only hold against just attack's these's blade aren't want they say they are."
"What do you mean?"
"The swords are strong but they aren't the strongest they just have hard metal which can be forged into sharp blades. There sword can break you just need a powerful attack."
"Like the Rasengan?"
"Yes but as you can see Tsukimaru is cutting through the attack how it is doing that? Its because all Tensho clan sword have chakra infused into them to help as a second layer defense and cutting power."
"That's incredicule." Shizune said continuting to watch the battle.
Tsukimaru still held the attack off as his continued to draw his sword when it was out of its sheathed completely. He grabbed Naruto's arm and pulled it away from his sword and kneed him in the stomach giving him get a distance from his opponent.
"Don't forget you still have us to worry about." Sakura called his fist was about to make contact only for it to be blocked by the blade. Dust was kicked into the air forcing the pinket to close her eyes. Suddenly she felt herself being kneed in the stomach.
Tsukimaru turned swiftly to block an attack by Sai form his Tanto. Suddenly Tsukimaru spotted a giant shuriken heading toward him. 'I see. Sai is trying to stall for me while Naruto throws a shuriken at me, good plan but not good enough.' He head-butted Sai and back flipped over the shuriken allowing it to miss him only to see it explode into a cloud of smoke to revel a second Naruto. A kunai in hand. 'Shit he knows the shadow clone, he trick me!' he smirked. 'Clever.' He switched hands and spun his sword to a backhand grip and blocked the attack just seconds away from his face. He tried kneeing him but was block by Naruto's own knee. Suddenly he remember that this was a shadow clone. He head-butted it but it didn't poof into smoke, he quickly spun around and cut through a second Naruto and to see it poof into smoke. 'So the really one is fighting me.' He spun again and while doing so he disarmed Naruto and delivered a light cut across his chest after doing so he punched him in the face and turned his attention to Sai and Sakura who were going to attack at the same time. A bad mistake. Quickly Tsukimaru sheathed his blade grabbed Sakura's arm and swung her into Naruto, after doing so he dodged Sai's attack then pushed his weapon arm away then sent a powerful upper palm strike to his chin knocking the Root member off the ground after doing so he drew his blade and charged toward Sakura and pointed his blade at her throat. "Surrender." He said. Sakura smile then poof into smoke along with Sai, and Naruto, this whole seen surprised Tsukimaru.
Then out of the sky came Sakura her fists ready to hit him. She threw it at him hoping to get a hit.
"FUCK!" Tsukimaru yelled in surprise as he placed his free hand on his blade and holding it above his head bracing the attack. Sakura's fist made contact with Tsukimaru's blade and a large cloud of dust was sent into the air. When it cleared it everyone gasped.
"No way!" Kiba said.
"Incredible." Said Neji.
"Unbelievable." Said Ino.
Standing in a crater and unscratched was Tsukimaru and his sword showed no signs of breaking and Sakura still had her fist connected with the blade. Millions of questions ran through the pinket's mind 'What the hell his blade didn't break and I was using full power? How is that possible?' She landed and sent a second punch to his face, only for it to be grabbed.
"Don't waste your breath how are you going to be able to beat me if you can't break a sword my clan made. Sorry Sakura but I think you should surrender." He said slowly pushing her back.
The pinket smirked "Aren't you forgetting two people."
"Rasengan!"
"Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll."
Tsukimaru looked up to see Naruto and Sai coming at him top speed with their attacks. Time seemed to slow down. Suddenly a voice laughed in the back of head. His blue eyes widened and with incredibly speed he grabbed Sakura and speed to the other side of the arena.
Everyone was shocked including Kakashi 'His speed it was way too fast for my Sharingan, and I didn't see any lighting being used to increase his speed did he train himself? No, that can't be it, but during that maneuver there was a burst of chakra from it. What the hell did he use?'
Akamaru stated to whimper which caught the attention of the others "What is it boy?" his master asked. The large white dog continued to whimper boy answered his master. "Are you sure?"
"What's he saying?" Lee asked.
"When Tsukimaru dodged the attack his chakra had the scent of blood on it. Sounds strange but he smelt it." Kiba answered.
"Kiba's right my buys are freaking out by that charka burst. They told me that it was fully of bloodlust, murderous intent and just the intent to kill. I fear that Tsukimaru is more to us than meets the eye." The bugger user said.
Everyone shivered from the words they all looked back to where Tsukimaru stood what he more than he was they would have to wait for him to recover more memoires to find out.
Tsukimaru stood there shocked at the speed he used "Sakura you alright?"
"Yeah thanks what the hell did you just do just do?" she asked.
"I don't know? I suddenly hear a voice and then I'm moving at lightning speed to dodge the attack to save you and me?"
"Is your element lighting?"
"No, as far as I can tell I have no element at all."
"Well whatever lets finish this."
"Hey hold on!" Tsukimaru ordered then felt his head hurt but this time it wasn't a memory no it was a laugh a laugh that sent chills down his spin, the kind of laugh that was that of a psychotic murder, the lust for blood to be spilled. "What the Hell?"
"What."
"I hear a laugh."
Just then Tsunade entered the arena "Alright the spar is over I think we know where to put you."
"And that would be Lady Tsunade?"
"Jonin."
"Jonin?" Tsukimaru repeated.
"Yes Jonin should be perfect your you."
"It's alright I have don't really care about ranks but I'll gladly accept it thank you." He said and bowed.

The Konoha 11 gathered together at the BBQ restaurant where team 10 would go to celebrate Tsukimaru's rank into ninja force.
"Everyone raise your glass for Tsukimaru Tensho, who is now a Jonin of Konoha." Kiba announced.
Everyone raised their drinks "Tsukimaru." They said and drank.
"Thank you all everyone." A voice said.
Everyone turned to see Tsukimaru leaning against the door still wearing his outfit during the spar with team 7.
'He does have style.' Ino thought getting a better view of his clothing.
"Tsukimaru what was that you did you dodged Naruto and Sai's attack?" Shino asked making the room go quiet.
"I have no idea. I hear this voice and then I'm moving at lightning speed."
"What did that voice say?" The bug user asked again.
"I couldn't quit tell."
"I'm buggers felt your chakra and they told me it was filled with a dark, and evil sources of power." The bug user locked eyes with Tsukimaru "What are you hiding form us Tsukimaru Tensho?" he asked directly to him.
Tsukimaru answered with the simplest question. "I don't know Shino. I just don't know." He said his eyes looking over everyone.
