Ninja's True Path

Chapter 10

Giatsu and Zero were lying on the ground by he fire as Kakashi and Irene sat there talking. "So Irene why exactly did you want to come on this trip with us?" Irene looked at him and then looked at the sleeping Giatsu who was still lying on the ground.

"I joined because of him," She said softly. Kakashi smiled and said.

"Yeah I sort of figured that was the case," Kakashi chuckled as he picked the cooked fish off the skewer and took a bite. Irene smiled and took one for her and smiled as she bit into it. Kakashi glanced back at Zero and Giatsu and then said while still looking at them. "You know they could have killed each other right?" Irene frowned and shook her head gently. Kakashi then looked up at the starry sky and said with a sigh.

"I can already tell a big battle is on the horizon and its gonna be bloody." Irene shook her head again and she looked at the sleeping Giatsu who stirred gently in his sleep. Irene stood up and she looked at Kakashi who deterred from looking at the sky and said to him.

"I think I'm gonna go for a walk" she turned and headed down towards the forest.

"Hey Irene take this with you" he tossed her a Kunai she caught it and looked at him "it's for if you should happen to run into any kind of trouble" Irene smiled and left heading into the forest. Kakashi stood up and using the bucket of water put a rag from his pocket into it and as he wrung it out he cleaned off his bloody Kunai.

Meanwhile…

Sensui paced back and forth in his underground lair trying to figure out the right time to attack. "I need an army if I want to finish it for good, I'll fight my way back to the other world if I have to" as Sensui ranted to himself Itachi entered the room and said.

"I found Tyranno and Drago there here to see you" Tyranno and Drago pushed past Itachi and walked up to Sensui. Drago was pissed the look on his face was unbelievable it was like if you put hot sauce in the water cooler and screwed up the entire plumbing system. Sensui looked at Drago and asked calmly.

"What do you want you miserable excuse for a warrior?" Drago was just about to open his mouth when Tyranno stepped in and replied.

"Sensui did you know about Zero and Giatsu's Demon forms?" Sensui looked at Tyranno and replied.

"Of course why do you think I sent you weaklings in there?" Sensui looked at Drago and Tyranno said.

"Alright then that's all I needed to know" ~I swear I'll make sure you die for this Sensui~ Tyranno and Drago then left the room as Kisame walked in.

"Sensui I have some interesting information for you" Sensui smiled and noticed Itachi was staring at Kisame.

"It's about Giatsu and his friends" Sensui smiled an evil grin and replied.

"Very well tell me then" Kisame smiled and started telling him the information.

"It seems that Giatsu and Zero are unconscious worn out from their battle and the female member of the group Irene had gone off into the forest for some random reason.

"Ahh things are starting to turn out perfectly first off bring me the girl" Kisame grinned and replied.

"Last time I checked I wasn't your slave" Sensui looked at him and then called for his right hand man Sergey, Kisame and Itachi looked at the door as a man in black armor walked in he wore armor like that of the Black knight and from what Itachi and Kisame could sense there was no surprise that Sergey was Sensui's right hand man his power was incredible.

"Yes Sensui" Sergey's voice was dark and cold, and his thick accent was like that of someone from the 1800's he looked at Kisame and then back at Sensui who answered with a cold smile.

"I have a very important job for you, bring me Irene" Sergey bowed to Sensui and turned around he walked past Itachi and Kisame and disappeared around the corner. "There is nothing to worry about Sergey will bring Her to us and Giatsu will follow right behind" Itachi smiled and said.

"Good well we must be off, when he returns call for us" Sensui nodded and watched as Kisame and Itachi exited the room. Sensui turned around and said to himself.

"My plan is going even better then expected, soon Giatsu your power will be mine and this dimension will be under my fist" Sensui smiled and sat down to await the return of Sergey.

Meanwhile Irene was sitting by the creek lying on her back staring up at the sky thinking about things. She thought about life, death, fighting, and of course Giatsu. As she lay there she heard something rustling around in the bushes and she ignored it seeing as how it was on the other side of the creek. A few minutes later more rustling then a boy emerged from the side he was wearing white tennis shoes, blue jeans, and a white t-shirt, he had a watch on one arm and black hair that appeared to be slicked back. He also had on a green and orange jacket. On his back he carried a backpack and he was muttering something to himself as he walked along he looked like he was 19 maybe older but Irene couldn't tell. Irene stood up and stared at this newcomer and without thinking she called out to him "Hello there" He looked up at her and stepped back taking a fighting stance before realizing it was a girl who had said anything.

"Hello" the boy leapt over the creek as though it was nothing and landed in front of her he stood up and with a big smile he asked. "Do you know where I can find Giatsu?" Taking a gulp Irene answered with a nod. "Can you take me to him?" Irene smiled and turned around as she started up the hill she got a terrible feeling in the pit of her stomach and whatever it was had an incredible amount of power and it was heading straight for where Giatsu was. Irene bolted off towards them and the boy took off right after her and caught up relatively fast. After a few minutes of running they came to the field where they were camping out she saw Kakashi standing up and Giatsu and Zero were still asleep on the ground. Irene and the Boy looked up to figure out what Kakashi was looking at and they saw a black figure in the air and whoever it was, were emitting a gigantic amount of chakra. The boy ran over to where Kakashi was and so did Irene Kakashi looked at the boy then at Irene and he asked.

"Who's this?" Irene shrugged and the boy held out his hand.

"Names Yusuke" Kakashi held out his hand and shook with Yusuke replying then.

"Hello Yusuke my name's Kakashi" Kakashi then looked back at the figure who had landed on the ground by now he stared at them but said nothing. Yusuke then stepped forward and hollered at him.

"HEY WHO ARE YOU WHATS WITH THE SILENT TREATMENT?" Kakashi looked at him and thought to himself.

~He reminds me of someone…but whom? ~ Yusuke tossed his backpack on the ground and took off his watch.

"I can't have my new watch getting broke now can I?" Kakashi watched as he took off his Green and orange jacket tossing it atop the backpack and watch. Yusuke then cracked his knuckles and started walking towards the mysterious figure. As he got about halfway the man held out his arm and pointed at Irene.

"I came for the girl, hand her over and you will not be killed" Yusuke laughed at the mans comment before he asked.

"May I ask your name strange man I'm tired of referring to you as mysterious man" Yusuke took a fighting stance and looked back at Kakashi saying with his eyes. Keep her safe. Kakashi then turned and directed Irene back over to where they both saw Giatsu sitting up same with Zero they were both looking at the man. And in a cold harsh tone the man replied to Yusuke.

"My name is Sergey and I am going to be your maker" Yusuke laughed and looked back he saw Giatsu and Zero sitting up and he quickly ran over to them completely ignoring Sergey. Yusuke knelt down by them and digging in his pocket he pulled out two beans handing one to both Giatsu and Zero he then stood up and said to them.

"Listen I can already tell this guy is going to be too much for me on my own so I'm gonna need your guys help to take him down" Giatsu ate the bean and felt his strength return he stood up and looked at Yusuke.

"Thanks by the way how old are you?" Giatsu asked out of nowhere.

"I'm actually 38 believe it or not" Giatsu's eyes got wide and he replied.

"Wow you look like your 20"

"Yeah I know I get that a lot" Yusuke then saw Zero pop the bean in his mouth and stand up he looked at Giatsu and Giatsu at him. Giatsu then said.

"Zero listen I'm sorry for what happened"

"Just don't worry about it alright what we need to worry about it beating this guy right now" Zero Giatsu and Yusuke all took fighting stances and Sergey laughed.

"You weaklings just don't understand do you?" Giatsu then yelled at him.

"WHAT YOU DON'T GET IS US RAMMING YOUR FACE INTO THE DIRT" Sergey began to laugh uncontrollably and he held out his arms and with a quick clench of his fist a red aura surrounded him he then said.

"Heh I'm only going to tell you once so listen carefully, I am a demon who will not be destroyed so you can either hand over Irene or you can all die right here. Yusuke thought for a moment before saying to Giatsu and Zero.

"Hey if I'm right you guys are after some guy named Sensui right?" Zero and Giatsu looked at him both asking.

"Who?" Yusuke then said to them.

"Listen we have to hand Irene over to them that way we can follow him back to wherever it is that Sensui is using as his base" Giatsu walked up to him and grabbed his shirt.

"LISTEN buddy you just met up with us and already your giving us orders well I don't think so" Yusuke grabbed his hand and pried it off then looking Giatsu right in the eye he said with a stern voice.

"DO IT" Giatsu stepped back and both Zero and Kakashi were shocked by this. Giatsu then looked at Irene then Zero and Kakashi.

"Guys we have to let her go" Kakashi understood why and so did Irene Zero just stood there. Irene then walked past Yusuke, Giatsu and Zero and approached Sergey she walked up to him and held out her hands.

"There we give up take me back with you" Sergey smiled and held out a small ball it then engulfed Irene and shrunk back down to bouncy ball size. Sergey chuckled and disappeared he just went poof and was gone. Yusuke ran forward and said to them.

"I can still sense him he's one fast son of a bitch you guys are too slow I'll be back after I find out where he's headed" Yusuke knelt down then bolted off at super sonic speeds into the forest after Sergey. Giatsu looked at Zero and then Kakashi before saying

"I'm sorry guys I had no idea that was gonna turn out like that, but the look that Yusuke gave me was so strange it was like he knew me or something" Kakashi tilted his head for a second before asking.

"So what your saying is that we put our hope into somebody we barely know at all besides his name" Zero and Giatsu nodded and they all sat down around the campfire to await Yusuke's return.
