Time went by and Tenten excelled at her medic-nin training. Soon Team Gai was called to the Hokage's office for another mission. "You are to accompany Chishima back to Tori no Kuni" said Tsunade
"You are to investigate reports of a Cursed Warrior terrorizing the people" she said
"A Cursed Warrior" asked Kira confused
"Yes" said Chishima
"It appeared after the death of our previous Daimyo" he said
"You are to find out who is behind it and capture them" said Tsunade
"Yes ma'am" said Team Gai
Team Gai went back to their homes to gear up for their mission. They then met up with Chishima at the gates and started off for Tori no Kuni. A few days later they arrived in Tori no Kuni and went to go see the Daimyo's chief advisor, Moso. "Thank you for seeing us" said Neji bowing
"It is no problem" said Moso
"Why couldn't we meet with the Daimyo" asked Kira
"Our new Daimyo Sagi has become cold and locked himself in his palace since the recent death of his twin sister Toki" said Moso
"When does the Cursed Warrior appear" asked Neji
"At night" said Moso
"What does it look like" asked Neji
"It wears samurai armor and carries a lance" said Moso
"We shall begin our search tonight" said Neji
That night as they are searching Neji saw the Cursed Warrior and said "I found him"
"Let's go" he said
They chased after it until they arrived at a shrine where it stopped. "I will keep it busy while you attack from behind" said Kira
Neji and Tenten nod as Kira shot forward drawing one of his swords. He brought his sword down and the Cursed Warrior brought up its lance to block it. As Kira and the Cursed Warrior started fighting, Tenten unsealed a chained staff and sent part of it towards the Cursed Warrior's helmet. It knocked off the helmet revealing nobody in there and the armor fell to pieces. "What happened" asked Tenten a little scared
"There wasn't anybody in there" said Neji
"You mean it was moving automatously" asked Kira
Neji and Tenten just looked confused at what Kira said. He sighed and said "It was moving by itself" explained Kira
"Yes" said Neji
The next day after Team Gai told Moso what they found Chishima came up to them. "What is it Chishima" asked Neji
"I know how you can meet with the Daimyo" said Chishima
"How" asked Kira
"I used to be close friends with Sagi and Toki" said Chishima
"Sagi goes to the lake we used to play at every day to remember his sister" he explained
"I can take you there" he said
"Lead the way" said Neji
Chishima led them to the lake where they saw Sagi looking at the lake holding a watch in his hands. Kira activated his Sharingan and took a close look at Sagi until he heard Neji shout "He's under attack"
Kira jumped in and blocked the strange looking shuriken while Neji and Tenten took out the three assassins. "What are you doing here" asked Sagi
"Saving you" said Kira looking over his shoulder
He took that chance to have a closer look at Sagi before turning off his Sharingan and turning around. "My guards could have handle them" said Sagi
"I didn't see them moving" said Kira
"What are you doing here in my country" asked Sagi
"I asked them to come and help with the Cursed Warrior" said Chishima coming out from behind the bushes
"How could you do this Chishima" growled Sagi
"Bringing in outside help" he said
"I thought it was the best course of action to take" said Chishima looking down
"Leave this country at once" ordered Sagi
He then signaled his guards to take him back to the palace. "That could have gone better" said Kira
Tenten picked up one of the strange three pronged shuriken and asked "Do you know who these belong to Chishima"
"No" said Chishima shaking his head
"But Moso-sama might know" he said
They went back to Moso and Tenten showed him the three pronged shuriken. "Ah yes" said Moso
"These belong to the head strategist Komei's men" he said
"Why would he want to kill him" asked Tenten
"He's in line to become the next Daimyo" said Moso
"We will go check him out" said Neji
That night Team Gai watched as Komei left his house and followed him to where the Cursed Warrior appeared last night. "This is where the Cursed Warrior appeared last night" said Neji
The Cursed Warrior appeared but was acting different than last night. "There is someone inside it this time" said Neji
The Cursed Warrior brought down its lance to kill Komei only to be blocked by Kira's sword. Neji and Tenten appeared on either side of it surrounding it as Komei ran away. The Cursed Warrior hit the ground with the pole end of its lance causing a tornado to form blowing all of Team Gai back. "Damn it, another tornado" thought Kira
He unsealed a grenade and gave it to a Kage Bunshin who ran up a nearby tree. Once it reached to the top it pulled the pin and threw the grenade down the center of the tornado. It bounced off the Cursed Warrior's helmet and exploded in its face.
Neji and Tenten came up to Kira and Tenten said "You used another grenade didn't you"
"Yes" said Kira
When the smoke cleared it revealed a mangled and blacked mass of metal that used to be the Cursed Warrior's armor. But there was no sign of a body only a lot of a green liquid. "What happened to the body" asked Tenten
"Maybe it had some sort of fail-safe mechanism" said Kira
"You mean like how an enemy might kill itself to avoid capture" said Neji
"Yes" said Kira
The next morning they were called to see Moso. "What is it" asked Neji when they arrived
"We have found the culprit" said Moso
"How" asked Tenten
"We found the Cursed Warrior's armor in Komei's armory" said Moso
"That has to be a plant since I turned the armor into scrap metal" thought Kira
"May we see it" asked Kira
"No" said Moso a little too quickly
"He is hiding something" thought Neji
"Since we have found the culprit you may leave" said Moso
Neji bowed and Team Gai left. Once outside Neji and Kira shared a look before they both disappeared. Tenten growled as she thought "I hate being left out"
Kira went to a high point near the Daimyo's palace and unsealed his sniper rifle. He looked though the scope and saw the Daimyo taking a bath outside. He saw that Sagi was really Toki. "So I was right about Sagi really being Toki" thought Kira
"She locked herself in her palace to limit the chance of someone finding out" he thought
"But there is more to the reason why she had to hide her gender than this place being like Feudal Japan" he thought
He sealed up his sniper rifle and thought "Now I need a way to get her attention"
He came up with an idea and knew that Tenten was going to kill him when she found out about it.
Neji snuck into the Daimyo's family crypt and looked at the last Daimyo's body with his Byakugan. He found traces of poison still in his system. "So he was poisoned" thought Neji
"Sagi must have known of this and became the Cursed Warrior to find out who did it" he thought
"He didn't want anyone to find out so that why's he reacted so violently to Chishima bringing us here" he thought
He left the crypt and went back to where Tenten was. "What did you find out" whispered Tenten when she saw him
"The previous Daimyo was poisoned" whispered Neji
Tenten's eyes widen a little as she looked around. "Where's Kira" asked Tenten
"I don't know" said Neji
"He didn't come with me" he added
One of the Daimyo's guards came up to them and said "You are to leave this country immediately"
"We will after we find our teammate" said Neji
"Your teammate has been arrested for trying to sneak into the Daimyo's palace" said the guard
"You are to leave without him" he added
Both Neji's and Tenten's eyes narrowed at that. "Kira is too good to be captured that easily" thought Tenten
"What are you planning Kira" thought Neji
"You heard them, let's go" said Kakashi appearing behind them
"Kakashi-sensei" exclaimed Tenten turning around
"What are you doing here" she asked
"Hokage-sama sent me to help" said Kakashi
"But it appears that you didn't need it" he said
"Now let's go" he said
"Alright" said Tenten looking down
The three of them quickly left the area
Down in the dungeons, Kira was chained up in a cell. He heard the cell door open and looked up. He saw the Cursed Warrior walk in and hold the lance ready to spear him. Kira smirked as he asked "Have you come to kill me Toki"
Toki dropped her lance in shock at that.
