Mask of the Dread Wolf

Chapter 7

Dread Wolf

Shachi remembered the name from a talk he had with Dr. Kuma what was it Hisoka Ridge this was the Hisoka ridge Shachi took in the rest of his surroundings standing around them were hundreds of men in grey cloaks and blank masks above them all were five in red blue green yellow and brown cloaks and masks the one in red likely the leader stepped away from his brethren

"behold the seer" the grey masks nodded holding their hands in the ram sign the one in red pulled out a familiar mask the one he'd seen all those years ago when his father was murdered "the question now is" a small pillar rose up he gingerly placed the mask down upon it taking off his own mask Shachi's eyes widened "no it can't that's impossible"

the face of Kiinu Inuzuka looked down on him "will you join us nephew or will you be the first to fall to be the foundation of the new world order" Shachi looked with wide eyed surprise and denial there was no way his uncle could be apart of this group

"this is a joke a ploy to get them to drop their guard your not really one of them uncle you can't be not with what they did to Kiame" Kiinu waved off Shachi's denials and words about his recently deceased daughter with a simple two words "so what"

Shachi's legs gave out from under him he fell to his knees "you can't mean that" he said Kiinu laughed "why shouldn't I I raised Kiame to be me to replace me but no that foolish girl was corrupted by the will of fire and was snuffed about by Mutamaru" the man in the brown cloak Mutamaru nodded "if she'd listened to my teachings she'd have retreated let that foolish squad of hers to die in the dirt like dogs" Kiinu laughed at his wordplay before he stood offering a hand to Shachi

"but you Shachi you are stronger then she was you see the truth of this foolish shinobi system don't you nephew" Kiinu said Shachi looked at him confused what did he mean truth of the shinobi system and how could he be so callous about the death of his only daughter

"Ah I see you are confused allow me to explain the shinobi system works by daimyos renting the land the hidden village is built on in exchange the village protects the daimyo and the nation itself this is foolish" Kiinu shouts

"shinobi are the strongest men on earth it is not the shinobi who should pay homage to the daimyo it is not shinobi who live on rented land humanity has it's ideals reversed it is the weak who serve the strong not the other way around shinobi should not be paid for their powers they should take what they want whenever they want from whoever they want"

Shachi growled leaping towards Kiinu slashing at him with his nails Kiinu put a hand to his cheek his fingers stained red "your insane" Shachi said throwing a round kick with the intent of breaking Kiinu's neck Kiinu grabbed the foot from the air and threw it back Kiinu held up a hand "wind style howl of the spirit wolf" he called

blue smoke rose from behind Kiinu forming into vicous snarling wolves the wolves flew forward colliding with Shachi knocking him through the air he hit the ground with a bang the wolves flew around him in a circle before dissipating Kiinu shook his head disappointed "keep him busy during the ritual" he orders the grey cloaked shinobi all nodded leaping from their places they drew swords and charged Shachi stood up and cursed his hand was broken enemy shinobi about to descend on him like wolves on a deer carcass

'No' Shachi thought "I refuse to die here" Yukimaru barked running out from the tunnel he pounced on one of the shinobi running to his side Shachi grinned petting Yukimaru behind the ear "good boy" he said putting his hand at the base of Yukimaru's neck a poof of smoke and Shachi's claws became unsealed Shachi put them on and looked to the enemy shinobi

Kiinu laughed "a hidden seal on your dog impressive Shachi Kun however you are too late bring the sacrifice" two grey cloaked shinobi placed the other prisoner at Kiinu's feet Shachi's eyes widened as he saw the mans face "dad" it was his father despite the hollow eyes long beard and the scarred flesh that barely hung around his ribs it was clearly Ginrai Inuzuka

"Shachi" Ginrai muttered before Kiinu grabbed him by the hair pulling him back Shachi growled "let him go you've done enough" Kiinu shook his head "I think not Nephew I'd love to release Ginrai to you however I need him to die" Kiinu placed the mask over Ginrai's face "to die so the dread wolf may live" Kiinu pulled his arm high into the air the bones cracking echoed through the air Ginrai's body fell to Kiinu's feet

Shachi clenched his fists his claws came out "I swear Kiinu" Shachi said with fangs bared "I WON'T STOP TILL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU ARE DEAD" Shachi looked to Yukimaru who nodded and ran with Shachi

Shachi leapt over one of the enemies sinking steel claws into anothers chest behind him Yukimaru pounced taking out the first enemy Shachi landed in a crouch over the corpse of the fallen enemy his black robes stained with blood he ran forward with Yukimaru hot on his heels Shachi looked up his eyes widened he pushed Yukimaru out of the way as a rain of blades flew through the air Shachi leapt back the blades impaling the mud soaked ground Kiinu raised a brow 'how did he dodge that'

"how did I dodge that" Shachi thought aloud flipping over an enemy shinobi stabbing him with his claws he pulled his hand free landing to the ground Shachi felt a headache then everything changed

the blue cloaked man grabbing him from behind while the enemy in the yellow cloak released a lightning style jutsu that electrocuted him and Yukimaru

Shachi shook his head leaping up the blue cloaked enemy tried to grab him while he saw the yellow cloaked enemy weaving through hand signs "I get it now" Shachi threw a kunai to the yellow cloaks feet he laughed until he saw the lit paperbomb Shachi pulled his knees to his chest and began spinning counterclockwise "falling fang" he called a buzzing missile flew down pinning the blue cloak ripping him to shreds

Shachi waded through the puddles of bloodstained mud and looked to Yukimaru his loyal partner barked leaping to his side Shachi made the ram sign in a cloud of smoke surrounded Shachi and Yukimaru at the same time a poof of red smoke surrounded ginrai's body Kiinu grinned "now it begins"

when the smoke cleared there stood two beasts Shachi and Yukimaru made a vicious twin headed wolf too big to be hidden in the Hisoka Ridgethe left head black the right white black swirls covered his legs and both had eyes similar to the byakugan across from them the dread wolf

Shachi could honestly say he'd never seen a beast like it in all his life and he prayed to never see it again it was two heads taller then Shachi and Yukimaru's combination jutsu with cobalt blue fur that matched the summer sky soulless black eyes and blood stained lips the wolf snapped it's tail a shockwave shook the earth the shinobi down below tried to flee but many if not all were buried alive atop the beast Kiinu laughed

"behold nephew The Dread Wolf is he not glorious" he asked Shachi growled "your insane uncle what could an animal like this possibly do" Kiinu grinned "allow me to show you first the land of rain then the five great nations the world shall know the true order when I tear down this chaotic world from it's demise the survivors will flock to my power and we shall build a glorious world of order and peace"

Shachi and Yukimaru growled "we will not let that happen" the two headed wolf leapt into the air it's right head sinking it's fangs into the dread wolfs neck then the two headed wolf began to spin "wolf fang over fang" he shouted a giant drill ripped through the ground and countryside shaking heaven and earth alike the two wolves broke away circling each other Kiinu laughed

"an excellent attempt nephew but futile look" Shachi and Yukimaru's eyes widened the dread wolves wounds began to rapidly heal steam rising from it's body Kiinu laughed "now watch helplessly as we obliterate the great Sanshouo no Hanzo fire style obliterate" the dread wolf turned towards Amegakure opening it's mouth the rain stopped as the rain flew towards the beasts mouth turning to red fire green fire rose up from the wolves throat blue fire came in streams from the tips of it's teeth and soon joined it the wolf closed it's mouth a white fireball that would rival the sun in size came from the wolves mouth hovering over the dread wolf

Shachi was frozen never had he seen a jutsu to rival this not even from Hokage Sama Shachi needed to do something anything what could he do Shachi looked to Kiinu laughing he knew what he had to do he began running towards the dread wolf

Kiinu saw this and laughed at his nephews foolish attempt at heroism but he would be too late fire style obliterate was the dread wolf's ultimate jutsu nothing and no one would survive it's devastating power

Shachi and Yukimaru leapt up "ninja are shadow clone jutsu" Shachi called two more giant wolves joined him in the sky

"Ninja are Shachipoddo" Shachi yelled out

the three two headed wolves began spiraling flying in three different directions one to the left one to the right and one from below all three collided with the Dread wolf making it's head buck up the white ball of fire flew into up into the air exploding in great ball of fire Shachi's clones dug their claws into the ground but were blown away and dispelled Shachi couldn't maintain the transformation and fell

Shachi looked up at the blue sky the clouds a distant ring slowly closing in bringing the rain with them Shachi pulled himself up and howled his arm hung loosely at his side definitely broken Shachi looked around trying to see any sign of the dread wolf or Yukimaru Shachi found his scent and wished he hadn't

Yukimaru laid on the ground blood falling from his lips mewling in pain despite the pain in his arm Shachi ran forward kneeling by his friends side "it's ok boy I'm here" he said petting him in his favorite place Yukimaru forced his head up licking his palm Shachi laughed tears falling from his eyes

"I owe you so much I'll never get to repay you've saved my life so many times on this mission and everyother you don't deserve this Yukimaru" Yukimaru let out a weak bark before his head slowly fell to the ground his eyes closed forever Shachi continued to cry

"I love you too boy I hope there are plenty of steaks and warm blankets in heaven" Shachi stood up facing down the Dread wolf "I get the feeling I'll be there soon enough"

Kiinu laughed from his place on the wolf "is that all you can do the wolf can create another Obliterate and you won't have your partner to save you or anyone else" Shachi nodded the vision came to him but he focused let it play out while staying in the present

"your right uncle but I don't need it I have the key to stopping you once and for all" Kiinu raised a brow with a cocky grin "oh well then I should just surrender go on then Shachi Inuzuka enlighten me on my inevitable defeat" Shachi nodded

"I have a power I think you know it too when ever I see death I get a vision of the future I know how to use them I know how to crush you because Kiinu there already was someone who has" Shachi began sat down began making hand signs "ram bird boar snake ram tiger monkey boar ram bird snake ram rabbit bird boar tiger snake monkey Shachi said forcing himself to weave through the hand signs

Kiinu growled "finish him" he commanded the Dread wolf the wolf slowly lumbered forward raising a paw to crush Shachi as he still wove through hand signs "bird ram dragon monkey tiger dog ninja art" Shachi called blue chakra coated him flowing over to the wolf "dreaded vessel sealing" the chakra glowed bright as the wolves fur spreading over his body enveloping a cursing Kiinu as well turning into a blue ball of light that flew into Shachi

Shachi gasped and he coughed up blood Shachi fell to the ground his hair and markings turning cobalt

Shachi stood in the hokage's office part of him grateful to still be alive the other part thinking what he'd be facing in the near future was much scarier then the Dread wolf he now contained Anko walked up putting an arm around the small of his back "isn't he man the one whose supposed to do this move"

"screw that your upset I don't blame you first your cousins funeral then that mission and now this" Anko said "it's up you your super sexy girlfriend to cheer you up especially with what's happened here"

Shachi nodded he knew Anko needed the comfort as much as he did with her former sensei lurking in the village "you know I think we've moved on from the comfort a girlfriend can give maybe a fiancé would work better" Anko stepped back looking at Shachi like he just made out with a mackerel or worse his sister Shachi gave her a kiss on the cheek and walked by

"I don't need a answer right away I felt it needed to be said" Shachi stepped out of the office passing by the bust of Yukimaru on the way Shachi looked at the bust scratching it behind the ears "wish me luck boy"

Shachi walked out onto the roof of the hokage tower there standing there were the Sandaime and few others down below were hundreds no thousands of villagers "citizens of Konohagakure it is my honor" Hiruzen began "to introduce to you all Shachi Inizuka the Godaime Hokage"

Shachi stepped forward Hirizuen took off his hat and handed it to Shachi bowing his head Shachi slowly reached out and took the hat placing it on his head Shachi looked to the crowd "citizens of Konohagakure I swear to you all I will uphold and honor the position I've been given and protect the people of Konohagakure no sato for the rest of my days"

the villagers cheered a thunderous applause that rivaled the Dread wolf Anko stepped forward standing next to him Shachi looked to Anko the purple haired kunoichi mouthed yes to him Shachi grinned looking back to the villagers he howled like a wolf for all to hear
