Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
Genjuro block another attack from Hinata and Seiryu they were training in the misty field and this time he wasn't using a wooden but his own sword he grin to himself both of them have grown strong and skillful using a sword. Hinata has learned to use Undine rather quickly and she was acting like a professional and Seiryu he knew how good he was since he was training a year before having HInata. Hinata had no problem with the mist she have learn to channel chakra to her ears she could clearly hear where her opponents will strike, she block an attack from Seiryu follow by another from Genjuro and she used Undone to release a large wave of water splashing both of them. Genjuro used water dragon jutsu Hinata and Seiryu counter with their own water dragon jutsu both charge at him and he block their attacks with his sword.
He smile seeing the great progress both of them have shown" all right you two that's enough for today good job let's go back"
"Yes sensei" they said in unison.
They left the misty field of course Hinata knew the correct path to take to leave the three were now heading back to the village, Genjuro then saw one of the villagers running to them he was in a big hurry.
"What's wrong?" Genjuro ask the villager.
He panted before speaking" Genjurosama it's urgent demons are heading straight to the village"
Hinata and Seiryu were shock at hearing that they couldn't believe what they just heard while Genjuro was serious.
"Go back to the village and tell the Mizukage to have every ninja available securing the village and lock all the entrances I won't let them get near the village" Genjuro said.
He nodded before leaving the ninja look at his two students.
"All right you two let's go we have a big mission"
The two nodded and follow their teacher.
"Um…….sensei did I hear him right are they really demons heading to the village?" Seiryu said.
"Listen to me Seiryu Hinata remember your training you can do it I have faith in both of you"
Hinata and Seiryu look at each other before nodding they continued running towards the village. Hinata was keeping her eyes on the road ahead but she was thinking about this mission this mission will prove to her if she has really become strong in her training with Genjuro. When they reach the entrance to the village they saw the demons and both Seiryu and Hinata were shock at what they were seeing, the creatures look like giant cockroaches with a combination of a ant they were almost heading to the village.
(Those are class D demons not much of a threat but I still can't let them go to the village) Genjuro thought as he unsheathed his sword.
"Seiryu Hinata the demons are not so strong you guys can take them kill them don't leave a single one alive"
They both nodded and unsheathed their swords they charge to the unwelcome demons Genjuro charge one and decapitated in a second more some of them charge at him and they were cut in half. Seiryu use Celsius freezing a couple he then crush the freezing demons killing them, Hinata use Undine to kill a few of the giant bug demons when she saw she was about to be surrounded by them she used kaiten to break their formation. Genjuro continued to kill more of the demons he realized that they were too many of them they needed to get rid of them as soon as possible.
(There's too many of them which means they're must be a nest full of them not so far from here)
"Seiryu Hinata REGROUP"
The two teens nodded and got back with Genjuro seeing that there were more demons that he expected.
"FIRE STYLE DRAGON FLAME JUTSU"
A large wave of fire burn a couple of demons Gnejuro saw Anko heading his way.
"Hey Genjuro miss me?" she smirk at him.
Genjuro chuckle" I'm glad to see you Anko"
She grin" I was gathering some information when I saw those things what the hell are they?"
"Trouble" said Genjuro.
The demons charge at them they slash and kill more demons while was roasting them with fire jutsus, Genjuro growl in frustration there were just too many of them it will take them a while to kill all of them.
"Damn we'll have to drive them far away from the village" Genjuro said.
(There might be a way to kill all of them in one shot I just hope he's willing to cooperate) Anko thought as she bit her thumb pouring her blood and forming the hand seals.
"SUMMONING JUTSU"
A huge cloud of smoke appeared when it vanish a huge purple snake with blue eyes appeared, the snake glare at the snake jounin.
"YOU DARE SUMMON ME HUMAN WHERE ARE MY SACRIFICES"
(Damn I forgot that Manda is always thinking with his stomach) Anko thought.
Genjuro Seiryu and Hinata stood in awe watching the giant snake hoping that he will help them defeat the demons.
Anko grin" hey Manda I did gave you the sacrifices well they are still alive here they are" she pointed to the insect demons.
Manda stare at the demons like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey without any warning he lunge at the pack of demons and in one swing he ate six demons chewing them like there was no tomorrow. Hinata felt sick to her stomach seeing the gruesome sight she felt like throwing up while Seiryu was trying to help her so she didn't threw her breakfast. Genjuro stood in awe in less than a minute Manda has eaten every single of the insect demons he was impressed the giant snake was a killing machine or better yet a eating machine. Manda made a huge burp that echoed through the whole field all the way to the mist village he then look back at Anko and gave her an approved expression saying that was the best meal I have ever had, finally he vanish in a cloud of smoke while Anko was grinning the entire time.
"I guess Manda hasn't eaten in a while he must be pissed with Orochimaru, you guys okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine but Hinata is not" Seiryu said while staring at the Hyuga heiress who was throwing up a few feet from them.
"I guess she has a delicate stomach" Anko said.
'Hinata will be fine" Genjuro said while seeing a mist chunin approaching them.
"Genjurosama is everything all right?"
"Yes everything is fine the demons have been eliminated tell the Mizukage to maintain the village under surveillance I am going to destroy the source"
"Yes Genjurosama" the chunin said before vanishing.
(Source what is he talking about?) Seiryu thought he was confused.
Genjuro sighed by now Hinata was done throwing up her breakfast.
"Are you okay Hinata?" Seiryu said worry.
"Yes I'm fine Seiryusan"
"So Genjuro care to tell us what the hell is going here?" ask a puzzle Anko.
"Well it's a long story so well be moving out to the location of the demons nest I have a feeling is not so far from here"
"We are going to the nest sensei what's going on?" Seiryu said sounding more confused.
"Let's go I will tell you all on the way"
The group nodded and followed the mist ninja, while walking Genjuro began to explain the situation they were in.
"Well for starters those things that we were fighting back there were demons weaker ones so we were lucky"
"What demons sensei are you saying that demons exist for real?" Seiryu said.
"Yes they exist around the world each of these demons are rank like a missing nin or criminal and you all know depending on the rank you can tell if the demon is dangerous or not but to me it doesn't matter if is a weaker one or a strong one all demons are a huge threat to all the hidden villages that's why they have to be eliminated at all cost"
"But sensei how can you kill them it sounds impossible" Hinata said.
"That's because Hinata I am a demon hunter"
The group were stun at the revelation even Anko.
"Sensei you are a demon hunter?" Seiryu said shock.
"Yes I am from the Meji clan the clan of demon hunters loyal to the mist village and the Mizukage our mission was to eliminate any demon threat but not just to the mist village but other hidden villages any demon that possessed a threat is to be eliminated that was our code we were trained with the most intense training so that will be prepare to face the inhuman entities known as demons in fact the training I have been giving to you two is the same training that a demon hunter receives"
Seiryu and Hinata were shock at the revelation all this time they have been receiving the training exercise of a demon hunter.
"No wonder I'm getting strong you have been training us to become demon hunters" Seiryu said he then smile" cool I will be one bad ass demon hunter"
Genjuro chuckle at his student's remark" I guess you can call it like that what about you Hinata?"
The Hyuga heiress smile" sensei I am happy that you chose me as your student and I have no regrets whether you are training to become a strong ninja or to become a strong demon hunter I am proud to be your apprentice"
Genjuro blush from the compliment" wise words Hinata you will become a very strong ninja someday"
"Genjuro you never ceased to amaze me" Anko said with a smirk as she then gave him a wink.
"So sensei what about the three swords of the mist?" Seiryu said.
"Well the three swords were the group of demon hunters my first group Yuzu and Kai were the best we have protected the village for years from any threat of demons until the accident" his eyes softened remembering the tragic day.
"Okay I get it but what about the Meji clan I haven't seen anyone from that clan besides you" Seiryu said.
Genjuro stop walking he was in deep thought and the group could tell that he didn't want to talk about it.
"Sensei we understand if you don't feel like telling us" Hinata said.
"No it's all right I have already gone this far in telling you the story so I will tell you the rest, the Meji clan is no more I am the last of the clan"
"What happened to them?" ask a puzzle Seiryu.
"It was the blood line war isn't it?" said Anko who wasn't surprised at all.
He nodded" yes when the third Mizukage made the law that anyone with a blood line limit have to be eliminated every mist ninja hunt down every clan every ninja with a gekke genkai until there was none that is with exception of myself and my sister we left the village and hide until the fourth Mizukage took over and banish the law, we return to the village and we were welcome with open arms. Pretty soon I gained a new student Kai and we became the three swords and you guys know what happens after that" he paused not wanting to remember the loss of his two precious students.
The group stood quiet Hinata was more shock and sad finding out that her teacher lost his clan his family and loved ones.
"I'm very sorry sensei" Hinata said.
"It's all right Hinata I have gotten over it and move on" Genjuro said with a slight smile.
"But shouldn't you be pissed at the village for killing your clan?" Anko said.
"No I am not I am more upset with the third Mizukage he was the one who made the blood line law he wasn't really a person worthy to be Mizukage well there you have it my life story"
"But wait a minute sensei if you were part of a clan then that means you have a blood line limit right so what is it?" ask a curious Seiryu.
Genjuro chuckle before looking back at the group" well my blood line might freak you out a little I can't grow old"
The trio was dumbfounded at his comment.
Anko raised an eyebrow" say what?"
"I can't grow old and I can't get sick I'm what you called a half immortal"
"Don't you mean immortal sensei?" Seiryu said.
"No Seiryu I can die if I'm fatally wounded but I can't grow old that's the blood line of those in the Meji clan half immortality was enough for us because we were powerful warriors that's how we manage to stop the demons from dominating this world thanks to our blood line"
"Sensei that means we will eventually grow old and you won't?" Hinata said shock.
"That's right Hinata this is me the one who will not grow old and remained the same forever"
"Sensei you must be feeling so lonely"
"Why do you think that Hinata?"
"Because the people you meet who will become your friends will eventually growl old and die and you will have to watch them die while you will never grow old it must be very lonely for you"
Genjuro smile as he put his shoulders on the Hyuga heiress" you know Hinata you are a very caring person I'm certain you will find a good boyfriend someday"
Genjuro's comment made Hinata blush like a tomato while he chuckle and Seiryu was smiling at her.
"Let's keep going we are almost there"
The group nodded and they continued walking Anko got close to him.
"That was quite a story Genjuro and if you really feel lonely I'm available" she said with a smirk.
"Why are you still hitting on me didn't you heard me I can't grow old so I can't have no one as my couple"
Anko made him look at her his blue eyes lock with her grey ones.
"Genjuro that doesn't mean I am going to give up in getting to know you better"
"But my blood line" he interjected.
"I don't care about your blood line look I may grow older and you won't but the present is all that matters to me I live my life to the fullest and if I have a shot at a good opportunity then I'll take it"
Genjuro raised an eyebrow" a good opportunity?"
"Of course you silly" she wink at him making him blush.
(She is so stubborn but I guess that's a good trait from her) Genjuro thought.
"Hey sensei there's something that stills bother me if you can't grow old then how old are you?" Seiryu said.
Genjuro stop walking and look back at the trio who were waiting anxiously to know he grin.
"That is something I'm not telling"
The tree fell down anime style.
He laugh while continuing walking pretty soon the three were following him, they finally reach a large cave up ahead Genjuro stop while checking their surroundings he look back to the trio.
"All right this it these insect demons like living in dark places and that cave is a perfect home for them so we go in kill any demon that gets in the way but most importantly kill the queen she is the source of the demons we kill her and the demons are gone for good"
"All right does anyone have some kind of torch to explore the cave?" Anko said.
"We don't need a torch we have Hinata's byakugan" Genjuro said.
"Yeah I almost forgot about that" said Seiryu with a sheepish grin.
"Let's go"
The group nodded and walk to the cave Gnejuro unsheathed his sword along with Hinata and Seiryu and Anko took a couple of kunais they finally enter the dark cave.
"BYAKUGAN"
Hinata was looking at every direction making sure there weren't any demons ready to ambush them, as they continued to walk and getting deeper into the dark cave thy could hear noises. Hinata gasp seeing more of the insect demons heading their however Genjuro already sense them and he prepare his sword along with Seiryu ready to kill.
"Here they come show them no mercy"
The demons charge while Hinata cut the head of one of them with Undine while Seiryu killed another and Anko killed another one with her kunais, Ggenjuro was in a endless killing spree as he killed four demons with one swing of his sword. More demons were charging at them it was proof that they were getting close to the location of the queen; Seiryu used a water dragon jutsu follow by his water explosion jutsu killing a lot of the demons. Anko used a fire jutsu burning more demons and Genjuro
continued killing another group some a couple of minutes they weren't anymore demons the cave was quiet once again.
"Let's continued before more show up were close to the queen Hinata lead the way" Genjuro said.
"Yes sensei"
They follow the Hyuga heiress walking the long corridor of the cave Hinata was seeing a left turn in the cave and took it she focus on the road ahead.
"Sensei there's a dead end up ahead"
"This is it the queen must be there okay let's be careful unlike her minions the queen is strong the four of us can take her own" Genjuro said.
"I'm having a blast here killing disgusting insects" Anko said with a amused grin.
Genjuro couldn't help but to chuckle at the snake jounins comment just before getting any closer ahead he stop and face the group.
"Al right this what we are going to do the four of us will attack the queen at the same time she won't see it coming"
"Right sensei" Seiryu said while Hinata nodded.
"Let's kill this queen" Anko said.
They continued walking when they heard a loud shrike coming from ahead looks like they were right the queen of the insect demons was ahead without showing any fear the four ninjas ran until they were face to face with the giant demon.
"NOW" shouted Genjuro.
The four made a couple of hand seals.
"FIRE STYLE DRAGON FLAME JUTSU"
Anko shot a large wave of fire hitting the queen making a loud shriek Seiryu follow.
"WATER STYLE WATER PRISON JUTSU"
The queen was now trap in the water bubble unable to move or even escape Genjuro was next.
"ICE STYLE ICE DOME JUTSU"
Now the queen was cover by the large ice structure.
"Hinata finish it off" Genjuro said.
Hinata nodded while forming the hand seals.
"WATER STYLE WATER EXPLOSION JUTSU"
Suddenly the queen blew in a explosive burst of water it was over the queen was dead, the group sighed in relief while cheering.
Anko laugh" so this is what you do for a living Genjuro maybe I should become a mist ninja to have more fun like this"
Genjuro smirk" oh these demon were really weak because they are low rank level but you fight a real strong one trust me you will think twice your decision"
After they were done they left the cave.
"What are going to do now sensei?" Seiryu said.
"What do you mean we are going back to the village" Anko said.
"Were too far from the village and it's getting dark I think we should spend the night" Genjuro said.
Anko sighed but she still agree she was expecting to eat some dango and drink some sake and a hot bath but it looks like her plans will have to be cut short. After traveling for a couple of minutes they reach a forest and put their gear.
"I am going to cook some dinner I always come prepare" Genjuro said.
Hinata activated her byakugan and smile" there's a waterfall a couple of miles from her I'm going to wash up"
"Wait a minute you're going alone?" Seiryu said worry.
Anko frown while looking at the black hair teen" what's that supposed to mean don't tell me you want to accompany her so you could peep on her"
Seiryu blush hard while Hinata was doing the same.
"NO of course I wasn't expecting to go with her I was just worry for her"
"Don't worry Seiryu Hinata can take her of herself" Genjuro said.
"I'll see you all later" she said before leaving the camp site.
Seiryu was still blushing (I wasn't going to peep on her I am NOT that kind of a person)
Hinata arrived at the waterfall she smile seeing how big and beautiful is she took off her clothes and check the water by putting her foot she shiver a little the water was a little cold. Slowly she went to the water and made a sigh of relief feeling the cold water on her body; while swimming she sense that
someone was watching her she could feel it she silently activated her byakugan. She saw the source of chakra there was definitely someone watching her she glare in anger she knew that it couldn't be Seiryu he wasn't the kind of person to do something so immoral. She pretended like she still hasn't sense him she left the water and dry herself and quickly put her clothes back on, she took a few steps in front of her while looking at the same spot where the person was and she made a couple of hand seals.
"WATER STYLE WATER DRAGON JUTSU"
The water dragon hit the trees and a shadow quickly evaded the attack Hinata took a long look at the stranger it was a man who seems to be in his early forties bald with a mustache he was wearing a white muscle shirt brown cargo pants grey ninja sandals his left hand was wrap with bandages his shuriken hostler was warp around his left leg and his kunai hostler was wrap on his right back side.
Hinata glare at the stranger with her byakugan she unsheathed Undine" who are you what do you want?" she said in a serious tone.
The stranger chuckle at while looking in her eyes" what do you know a leaf ninja what are you doing all the way here and you're not just an ordinary ninja but a Hyuga I feel very lucky to ran into you"
"I won't repeat myself either you tell me what do you want or I will kill you where you stand" she said in a cold tone.
"My my you look like you mean it all right I'll tell you who I am my name is Kazama Goro and I want you little Hyuga you see I need a lot of money and if I held you as a hostage Konoha will pay me a lot since I have a Hyuga one of the leaf village most prestigious clans"
(There's no way I'm telling him that I'm the daughter of the head of the clan) she thought while she got into her gentle fist stance.
Goro chuckle" you want to fight that's good I wasn't expecting to capture you without a fight" he quickly made a hand seal.
"WATER STYLE WATER DRAGON JUTSU"
The water dragon charge towards Hinata but she charge at him while swinging Undine Goro barely dodged the attack of the sword he punch her sending her to the ground and vanish in a splash of water.
(A water clone) he then gasp seeing Hinata next to him she swung Undine hitting but he vanish in a splash of water.
(I knew he was a water clone but where is he?)
From the water came a large group of water clones they all charge at her and she used kaiten to destroy all of them, she was caught off guard when the real Goro mad her drop her sword. Hinata used palm strike on his right shoulder hitting his chakra point he growl as he took na smoke bomb and threw it at her he then kept his distance from her.
"What is this smoke?"
Goro gave an evil grin" it's not smoke its sleeping gas now have a nice nap"
(What sleeping gas no….I……..I) she then collapse on the ground sleeping.
Goro smirk" works every time" he then rub his shoulder (damn bitch she stop the chakra flow from my shoulder damn Hyugas and their chakra blocking)
"HINATA" came the voice of Seiryu from far away.
(Time for me to leave) Goro thought as he took Hinata and her sword he then left a note and took off Hinata's leaf head band he finally vanish with the Hyuga.
"HINATA" shouted Seiryu as he came to waterfall with Genjuro and Anko.
"We heard a lot of commotion coming from here" Anko said.
"She's not here" Genjuro said as he picked up the small note and the leaf head band.
I have the Hyuga brat if you want to see her again send a million ryo to the abandoned fishing port southwest of the water country border by tomorrow at nightfall if you don't bring the money then she dies.
Kazama Goro
Genjuro gave the note to Anko" I know now Goro's whereabouts"
Anko read the letter and smirk" looks like I'm going to accomplish my mission after all"
"What's going on where's Hinata?" Seiryu said worry.
"I'm sorry Seiryu but it seems Hinata was capture" he said while show him her leaf headband.
Seiryu gasp seeing her headband he growl" give me that note" he rudely snatch it from Anko's hand.
He read the note and felt anger rising he tighten his fist in anger and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"NO HINATA"
