Chapter 6: Her Hero
Suigetsu dove into the water at extrodinary speed. Temet jumped up, just to get off the water. He looked all around, to make sure that no one else was going to help Suigetsu attack. Temet got back on the water and darted towards Toraji. Suigetsu broke out from under the pier. There was fear all in Temet's eyes. Suigetsu laughed as he dove towards Temet. Temet dodged the dive attacking and continued to target Toraji, each time he would be stopped by Suigetsu.
"I've had enough of the games Temet, let's get serious." Suigetsu said, his voice echoing from under the water. Temet was nervous, he finally got himself together and dove under the water. He met Suigetsu head on.
By this time Toraji was starting to move around, she was laying on the edge of the broken pier. She opened her eyes and sat up. She shrieked when she saw she was about to fall in the water. She stood up and ran back towards her house, she screamed and began to cry when she saw her house was burnt down.
Suigetsu burst out from under the water. He landed on part of the broken pier. Temet came out a moment later. Temet had a small, thin cut on his face from Suigetsu's teeth. Suigetsu made one hand sign.
"Water Clone Jutsu." Suigetsu said softly. Two clones, who also took on Suigetsu's Shark Form attacked Temet. Temet defeated the clones easily, but he had been distracted. Suigetsu bit him right on his right hand. Temet yelled out in pain as Suigetsu ripped the hand off. Blood was spilling into the water. Suigetsu pulled out, a weaker, thin sword from under the water. Temet realized it was made of water.
"The game was fun Temet...but without that hand...you are finished. This sword, see it? Its made from a combination of the fresh water in this lake and my chakra. Its a fitting end to you I believe." Suigetsu explained. Temet laughed as Suigetsu stabbed him in the heart with the chakra blade.
"You've...done it...now...you fool..." Temet said as he died. Suigetsu slowly returned back to his normal form as the sword faded. He kicked Temet's body in the water, he watched it sink and turned his attention towards Toraji. She was standing on the land, she had seen the whole thing. Fear was in her eyes.
"Toraji..." Suigetsu muttered, he walked accross the water and jumped onto the safer side of the pier. He walked over to Toraji, who took a few steps back. Suigetsu sucked on his teeth and looked at the road.
"Where does that road lead? I know you want me to go." Suigetsu said. Toraji ran up to him and hugged him tightly. Suigetsu was shocked, but slowly hugged back.
"Suigetsu...thank you...you saved my life...and the fan." Toraji said. Suigetsu looked down at her. The fear in her eyes was replaced with tears of joy. Suigetsu smirked and flexed his muscles.
"Only someone like me could take them out." Suigetsu said, still smirking. Toraji giggled and they both started to walk down the road together, the road would take them to a small village, where they could get food and water, while also getting supplys to rebuild Toraji's house. About half way, Suigetsu decided to ask a question.
"Is that the first time you have been attacked?" he slowly said. Toraji paused, she bit on her finger for a minute, a few more tears rolled down her face. Suigetsu didn't notice for a while that she didn't want to answer. Finally, he sighed and apologized.
"It's all right." Toraji said. "No, that wasn't the first time The New Breed attacked me, trying to get the Broken Fan of the Ryugo. The first time...they...they killed my entire family." Toraji said. Suigetsu was almost in shock.
"Suigetsu...you're my hero." Toraji said and clung on to Suigetsu's arm as they approached the village.
The Desert
"Suna is just up here." Shikamaru said. Sasuke nodded and the team broke out into a run. Sasuke was still expecting for one last update from Suigetsu. He told Sakura "I bet he overdid it."
The wind started to pick up out of no where. Sasuke looked out in the distance to the team's left. A single figure was standing there, holding there hands up in the air.
A New Breed Shinobi...
