Chapter 11- Showdown in the House of Getsuo, Inner Demons Released

"Could I speak to...Asura-san was it? I would like to speak to him..personally" He spoke with a venomous undertone in his voice.

Ryatsu looked up at his friends and Teammates as he pushed his shades up, signalling them silently, 'Don't leave the place, stay behind the doors, I don't trust him' as he turned to him, "Yes Getsuo-San?"

Anko nodded at the message as she and the rest of Cell Thirteen left the room, closing the doors as they stood behind it, listening in for a que.

End of Flashback

Ryatsu sat alone in the room, staring at his father from across the table. The man hadn't age a bit in the time he left, in fact he still retained that sickening, venomous smirk. He pushed his shades up further as he started to become unnerved by his old man's expression of madness. Motonari brought his hand to the table, grinning more as he saw who he was introduced as, "Asura's" reactions.

"So you wanted to speak with me, Getsuo-San, why did you want to speak with me privately and not in front of my Cell?" Ryatsu questioned, figuring he might as well learn about his father's maddening efforts.

Motonari said nothing as he rose slowly from his cushion, bringing his hands slowly in front of him. Ryatsu froze as his hand went to the handle of his blade. At first, The elder Getsuo did nothing, bringing his hands in front of him as he applauded him, chuckling lightly. This caught Ryatsu off guard as he moved his hand slowly from the sword, eying him suspiciously. This was what he wanted as his father suddenly grinned darkly as his clapping stopped. His hand then started whirling through hand seals as Ryatsu only had time to widen his eyes.

"Ninpou- Karada Baindo-no-Jutsu!", Motonari declared as he cackled madly, Ryatsu gasping in shock.

Chains made out of chakra rose from around Ryatsu as they quickly wrapped around him, binding and contricting him in place. He struggled against the chains as his eyes widened, a look of fear slowly over taken his features. Getsuo grinned more and more as he tightened his grip on Ryatsu, finding blissful ecstasy in the boy's growing fear.

"It seems you have a fear for this technique "ASURA" ", he spoke at him madly as his calm persona was dropped completely, "Or should I say, Incarnation of Death, RYATSU!"

Ryatsu struggled more as his shade fell to the edge of his nose. The chains constricted tightly around him as he let out a soul peircing shout in fear and pain. Anko had enough as she gave the signal. Getsuo's smile faded into a frown as the door were blown open, revealing the rest of Ryatsu's cell armed and ready.

"Getsuo Motonari.." Anko spoke dangerously slow as she began to spin her knives in her hand, "What...gives you..any..FUCKING..right to try to harm my student, HUH!"

"This is the demon I spoke of. It is a vicious killer, slaughtered many of my village years ago...killed my wife..." He grinned madly as he kicked the bound Ryatsu to the ground, "Finish my job and I shall handsomely reward you, shinobi of the Leaf!"

Tenten looked at her bound boyfriend as she raced to his side. She felt her heart ache at the look of terror plague his grey eyes. She closed her eyes as her hands clenched tightly. Sasuke shifted his gaze from the man in front of them, to his sensei, to his friend and brother. His gripped his blades tighter as he gritted his teeth in anger. Motonari saw each of their reactions and frown deeply, not pleased with what he saw.

"That how it is, huh?" He stated coldly, "So the demon's taint has corrupted your minds then...just like that fucking demon whore that I had the misfortune to be a husband to"

Tenten had enough as she unhooked her scythe in on fluid motion. She shouts in rage as she lunges at the man, tears burning bitterly in her eyes. The man looks surprised at her sudden motion as he leaped out of the way, missing the blade by mere inches. His luck wasn't so easy as she continue her onslaught, causing him to dodge and out maneuver her. He ducked again as he grabbed a kunai from his pocket, ready to spill her guts out. His eyes widened as he brought the knife to his side to block the twin blades slashing at him. The force sent him back slightly. He rolled out of the way as he moved to get some distance from the two genin.

"You are a sick man. If you dare lay another hand on Rya-Kun.." Tenten warned dangerously, "I'll consume you in a hurricane of steel."

"Ryatsu is my brother and has brought me out my own hell. If you want to harm him you'll have to past both of us." Sasuke added, glaring at him with his sole eye.

Motonari stood there as his head tilted to the side quickly, looking at the two with utter disgust and disbelief. How two kids would be willing to throw away their lives to a demon was beyond his thoughts. He began to twitch as a maddening giggle slowly escaped from his lips, snapping as the two wall at their sides open revealing two Yuki-nin. The one on the right stood at six feet, his cold black eye staring lifelessly at them. His entire lower half of his face, right arm, and left leg were tightly bound in bandages. He wore only torn Arctic pants and winter boots. In one hand he was holding onto the handle of a large, weighted Executioner's axe. The Yuki-nin on the right stood just at the height of Sasuke. The figure wore robes that quickly masked the person's gender entirely. The figure pulled her sleeves away as she pulled two Sai out. Getsuo cackled as the two looked at him, then back at the Genin.

"Leaf-nin...meet your executioners, demon worshipers. Honnoji Kei", He pointed to the man with the ax, "and Kisaragi Aneko", Pointing to the robed figure to the left, "and finally Mengetsu Makato" He pointed past them.

Anko narrowed her eyes as she spun around and brought her knives above her head in a crossed fashion. At the same time as the serrated edge of a giant hook spear bore down at her, clashing with the two knives. The owner of the spear belong to a skeleton of a man. his black hair veiling his entire head and stopping at his the middle of his stomach. He wore only white hakama and a black stomach guard. behind small strand of his mane, a dementedly twisted could be seen. Sasuke and Tenten immediately went back to back as they stared at the other two assassins. Kei merely chucked darkly as he hoisted his ax to his shoulder. Aneko grinned seductively as she licked the blade of one of her Sai.

"Tenten..you take the Demented woman...the bandaged mute is mine" Sasuke simply instructed as he brought his blades closer to him in a crossed fashion.

"Oh how cute, The wittle genin think that they have an honest shot against us one-on-one" Aneko mused as she giggled, flipping her sai backwards as she crouched surprisingly low with her robe.

Kei said nothing as he waited for the one-eyed Uchiha to advance at him. Sasuke glared at him as he tensed. Tenten gripped her scythe tighter as she crouched, her eyes glaring at Aneko, who mearly grinned at her. Tenten lunged at her and swung at her horizontally as Aneko crossed her sai to her side, catching the weapon as she cockily grinned. Tenten smirked as she used the moentum of her swing to vault her at the Woman's face. Aneko's eye's narrowed as she brought a hand to her face, catching her foot easily, pushed into the room though. she frowned as she tossed her to the side. Tenten landed to her feet as she re-postioned her scythe in position. Sasuke lunged at Kei as the quiet Yuki-nin blocked the swords with the handle of his ax, backing up into the large room behind him slowly. Getsuo grinned as the doors slammed shut behind the genin.

"Your students will die against those two, so will you against Makato." He stated as he glanced down to the struggling Ryatsu, "oh yes..I almost forgot about you demon."

Anko cursed as she pushed the hook out of the way and swiped for Makato, who grinned more as he leaps back more, swiping playfully at her with his hook to keep her attention. She spun her knives in her hands as she lunged at him as the wall behind her sealed itself.

"Shit, it was a trap all along" She cursed at herself for her carelessness.

"Makato is going to kill you now...Lets make the red water flow again Makato...yes...yes I agree Mengetsu..." The madman spoke to himself, his voice changing pitch as if to represent a different person.

Uchiha Sasuke vs Honnoji Kei

Sasuke cursed as he continued to slash and swipe at the mute Nin. Kei continue to blankly look at him as he continue to just knock the two blades away with the handle of his ax. Sasuke made a twin thrust at Kei as he brought the ax quickly in front of him, stopping both blade perfectly in place. Sasuke frowned as he kicked off of the pole away from Kei and landed on the wall, going through quick hand-seals.

"Katon: Gokyaku-no-Jutsu!" He shouted.

He exhaled as a massive fire ball twice the size of Kei flew at him. The man stood there as he slowly lifted his ax into the air. His dead eyes suddening sharpening as he slammed the ax into the ground, slashing cleaning through the fireball. the flames billowed around him as Kei became a shadow in front of orange flames. Sasuke gasped as he readied his swords again. Kei 's eyes focused on him as they returned to their death-like state. He lumbered slowly at the one-eyed Uchiha as he pulled his ax from the floor, swinging suddenly at him. his eye widened as he ducked under the massive blade and swpied for unguarded flesh. Kei knocked the blade away as he felt the second blade bite into him. Sasuke grinned as he pushed the blade straight through imposing man stared down at him as his hand suddenly encased Sasuke's grip. Sasuke looked up as the man punched him in the chest, forcing him into the wall. Sasuke gasped in pain as he felt several of his ribs snapped and fracture from the impact alone. Kei looked at him as he lifted the blade up his stomach slowly, letting the blood flow slowly. he then ripped it out to the side of him as he threw it in front of sasuke, ignoring the blood leaking from the wound.

'H-how! How can he just..ignore that..he literally sliced through himself without a second thought' Sasuke thought franctically as he quickly grabbed the blade in front of him.

The imposing man chuckled darkly as he grabbed his ax again and lunged at the downed Uchiha, intending to end it in one blow. Sasuke rolled to the side as the ax crashed through the fall, revealing the room they were just in. His eye widened upon hearing the cries of Ryatsu in pain. He closed his eyes as he grit his teeth, his blades to his sides.

'No...I won't think of failing...', He thought as Kei pulled the ax out of the floor, 'I can't die here now, not with my brother in trouble...' He leveled the ax over his head, 'I...won't...' Kei sung his ax down, 'FAIL!'

Dust exploded as the ax reached inches to the one-eyed Uchiha's head. Kei raised a brow as a blade suddenly expelled from the dust and slashed through his throat. The man's eyes narrowed slightly as the dust settled. Sasuke was blocking the ax with his other blade with struggled efforts. his eye open to reveal not ink black, but deep crimson with two black tomoes circling around his pupil. Sasuke quickly brought the second blade under the ax and pushed it away from him as he duck and swiped through Kei's mid-section in one fluid motion. Kei looked confused as blood flew out of his stomach and neck in three lines. He brought a hand to his stomach to feel his intestines slowly trying to ooze out of the slashes. His eyes widen as he swings the ax at Sasuke in anger. The one-eyed Uchiha dodged the ax entirely and manged to slash at him two more times. Kei was getting angrier and confused as the Uchiha began to predict his movements and cut him more and more.

Sasuke finally saw an opening as he leaped back from another swing from Kei. He threw one of his blades into the air, the motion catching the bleeding man's attention. with that he spins his other blade in front of him in mid-air. He leaped back and spin kicks at the blade in front of him as the first blade begins to spin back down to the ground. His foot slams into the pommel of the sword in front of him as the blade of that sword hits the pommel of the second blade, launching them at Kei. Kei saw the blade lunging at him as dropped his ax and caught the first blade through his hand as his eyes narrowed. He couldn't react any further as the second blade pierced straight into his throat, piercing through his spinal column.

Kei grasped for the blade as he yanked it out weakly, blood pouring from the small wound as the man weakly tossed the blades to the side. Sasuke fell down, looking terrified as he stumbled back, his Sharingan reverts back to his normal eye, panting in exhaustion and fear. Kei weakly grasped his ax as he lumbered two steps toward Sasuke before falling limply forward, dead before landing. Sasuke sighed in relief before wincing in pain as he lightly held his chest, feeling his broken ribs.

"That's going...to..ruin my day now..." He slumped over unconscious from pain and exhaustion as the wall behind him opened.

Shizuka Tenten vs Kisaragi Aneko

Aneko giggled again as her sai continued to dance around Tenten's scythe, not really hitting the younger girl, but merely playing with her like a cat. Tenten gritted her teeth as she backed away, swiping at the older woman to keep her distance as she threw the scythe at her. Aneko giggled at the ploy, thinking that she was giving up quickly as she ducked backwards as the scythe flew over her. she rose back up in shock as she was quickly greeted by several weapons flying at her. Her sai moved quickly to knock as many of the weapons from herself. She winced as some flew past her arms and slashed through her robes and her skin lightly. She scowled as she saw a smirking Tenten, flipping a simple kunai in her hand.

"What the hell do you think your smirking about you brat!" She spat at the genin, "You just threw every weapon in your arsonal at me you baka! You have nothing left! Not only that..but you tore up my favorite robe!"

She scowled as she tore away the rest of her robes, letting the shreds fall to the ground as it revealed her rather boyish body in stealth armor. Tenten watched her as she simply threw the kunai at the ceiling above her. She grinned more as Aneko looked at her confused.

"Checkmate, too bad you didn't last as long Aneko-no-baka" she teased as her finger began to spin in circles.

Aneko looked at her confused as she suddenly heard the rattle of metal. She turned around as the weapons slowly rose to the air and began to circle around her in a vortex of steel. She kept her guard up as she had troubled seeing through the whirl of metal. Her eyes darted around as she tried to block as suddenly the weapoins began to fly through across the circle, past Aneko and back to its flight pattern. Aneko began to get small cuts on her slowly as each time she would swat one weapon, three more would come much faster than the first. and it only got worse for her as they would continue to increase speed for each weapon that decide to leave the group and lunge at her. She was growing irritated quickly and decided to end this game, but was finding herself losing concentration quickly from having to dodge the m onslaught of steel. The storm finally stopped as the weapon just floated in mid-air around her as Tenten smirked at her.

"You look much worse for ware, not what you expected from a kid, right?" she teased Aneko.

Aneko was covered in cuts as her armor was ruined. she was beyond pissed as she gritted her teeth, her eyes narrowing as she saw now clearly that the weapons were being suspended by wires from the kunai on the ceiling, to her finger. She lowered her head as her blood stained sai fall to the ground in a noiseless clatter. she quickly began to bring her hands through hand-seals as Tenten brought her other hand back, tugging at a wire behind the focused Aneko. the wire tugged at the scythe as it removed itself from the wall and spun itself at Aneko silently.

"Take this you fucking BRAT!" Aneko shouted as she made her last seal, "Hyoton- Kōri kotei suru-no-Juts-", her technique interrupted at the last moment as Tenten's scythe's blade pierced through Aneko's chest.

She stumbled forward as she saw the black hooked blade fly through her chest. she gasped in pain as she weakly groped at it, looking at the girl in disbelief.

"I...I lost...to..to a child...to..a...pathetic.." her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she fell face first to the ground on her knees.

Tenten breathed in evenly as she grasped her scythe, removing it from Aneko's body as she limply slid fully to the ground. She stared at the body as she realized that she had just killed someone.

Ryatsu

Ryatsu let out another cry in pain as his mad father cackled in glee. Motonari grinned in glee as he did the seal again, causing the chains binding Ryatsu to release a current of electricity.

"Suffer demon..Suffer as my village has suffered from your blight! Feel the anguish of all the souls you ripped apart that day!" He yelled at his son as he performed the seal again.

Ryatsu screamed again as his body spassed out from the joltage. Darkness was edging around the corner of his vision as he he tried to weakly struggle from the chain in hopeless fear. His father's laughter was becoming more and more faint as his eyes closed slowly.

He woke up to find himself strangely in a completely different area. Surrounding him was what appeared to him to be a forest, much like the forest in Hi-no-Kuni. He looked around vaguely in confusion as he began to roam around the forest.

"Where...where am I...why am I in a forest all of a sudden?" He pondered as his eyes widened, "I...I can't be...I can't be dead...I made a promise that I wouldn't die until that monster died.."

His pondering were silenced as he found himself staring at a large glass orb of water. the orb was sealed tightly by a large cork with several seals securing it further. He raised a brow as he began to wonder as to why exactly a large glass orb would be in a forest. He was once more brought out of his musings as he heard a low hissing. He looked around quickly as he heard the hissing again. He turned to the Orb as he was greeted by a large, violet Serpentine eye. He yelled in shock as he stumbled back.

"Ssssssoo...My hossst finally decccidesss...to finally visssits me, eh?" The eye spoke as it turned out that the orb was containing a large black Mossacin with eight tails.

"H-host?...I.I don't follow" He asked, a little unnerved by the large serpent.

"Issss That ssssoo?" the serpent chucked before coughing slightly, "Screw this..Its not worth the strain on my voice to sound all intimidating and snake-like."

Ryatsu sweat dropped, "you remind me of a good friend of mine, she liked to try that same thing and eventually tires of it as well."

The serpent looked up as it moved closer to inspected him, "You wouldn't happen to be referring to my daughter, Dok'Jenara?"

"Why yes I am referring to" he paused as the information sank in, "your...daughter?"

"That's a story for another time hatchling. Regardless I;m going to make this short and sweet for now due to time. Your my host and I'm your prisoner. You demon of a father is about to kill you, which in turn, kills me. I like living, even if it means being in a hell like this. So I'm going to give you a bit of my yokai, demon chakra to help you out for now." she explained to him.

"Ok...if it means killing him, than lets do it then, I'll question you another time I guess" He answered as he shrugged.

"I like you Hatchling, your funny that's for sure" The demon laughed slightly as a black mist began to slowly flow from the orb and swirl around him, "Don't get us killed then, Getsuo Ryatsu, my host."

Before he could say anything the mist enveloped him and he was taken away from the weird forest.

Motonari rose the blade high over his unconscious son's bod, ready to strike down as suddenly black wisp of chakra began to flow off of Ryatsu. He backed away in horror as Ryatsu slowly rose, the chakra continuing to flow from him as it made a slight cloak over him. His eye became much more serpentine than they were before and his fangs grew out slightly. He unsheathed his blade as the charka coated over the ebony blade with its dark essence.

"Getsuo Motonari..or should I say..Father" he spoke in a combination of his own voice and the snake's voice as he spat out the last word, "I am making sure that you are put down like the mad dog you have become."

His father's eye's widened and narrowed as he lunged wildly at him. Ryatsu blocked the blade as he roundhouse kicked him in the knee. Getsuo grunted as the leg gave out, but began to swing madly in desperation. He continued to block and deflect his father's attack, causing the blade to crack.

"This is for the Old Man!" He shouted as he shattered the blade finally.

"For my mother!" He slashed the blade through Motonari's chest, leaving a deep cut from his shoulder to his hip.

"And this..." the chakra moving all to his blade as he aimed its point at his chest, "IS FOR ME YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH!"

He lunged forward as he thrust with the blade at his father. Motonari's eyes widened in horror as the blade pierced through his heart and sent him flying into the wall, pinning him their. His mouth opened as blood escaped in a constant flow. The dark chakra entering his body as his body twitched in pain as the man screamed. blood continue to flow from his mouth, followed shortly then by his eyes, ears and nose. Ryatsu pulled the blade from his father's chest once the man's head fell limply down. The broken body fell forward as he splash in the pool of his own blood. Ryatsu stared at the blade and re-sheathed it back in its place. The wall behind him finally collapsed as the battered and cut body of Makato went flying, crashing through the table as his hair spread everywhere. his look a shocked and blank look. Anko heaved slightly as she walked into the room.

"Damn that little punk...but me through quite a workout..." she managed as she finally looked at Ryatsu, who bent over to grab his shades, "you ok kid?"

"...Yeah...I'm good" he pushes the shade up over his eyes as he look at his teacher, "I think its best we try to recover and get out of here..."

Anko nodded as she saw Sasuke's unconscious body and the fallen body of Kei. Tenten finally manged to get the door open as she saw Ryatsu alright finally. She walked over to him slowly as she reached out slowly at touched his shoulder, behind her was the corpse of Aneko.

"Rya-kun...are..are you ok" she asked, genuinely worried for him.

"Shizuka-chan..." he turned around and brought her into a tight embrace, resting his head on her shoulder.

She hears him cry softly as she hugs him back, stroking his back softly in a soothing manner. Anko watched the touching moment of her other students as she turned her attention again to her third student. She did what she could to help the ribs by stealing some of the intact bandages off of Kei's corpse and securing them over his chest. She smirked at them impressed.

'These three...on their own managed to kill two B-ranked missing nin and our client, who was maybe High C, low B-ranked himself. It might have been a fluke but they did well.' She thought to herself, beaming with pride.

"Alright maggots, enough of your sappiness. once Sasuke hear wakes his lazy ass up we are heading back home to report!" She shouted in excitement as she then grabbed Makato by the hair, "This festering pile of shit is joining us as well for information, any problems? No? good"

Tenten glared weakly at her teacher as Ryatsu looked up at Tenten, moving to her side as he held her hand, squeezing lightly.

"Hijutsu-Cliffhanger-no-Jutsu!"
