Kaze's Perspective

"Good morning class, today, since many of you have asked, we will be talking about visual jutsus." Said Kaze pacing across the room. The class let out a cheer as Kaze began to draw diagrams on the board.

After he finished drawing each eye he turned and pointed, "This is the Sharingan, you should all be familiar with it, it allows the user to read chakra movement and cast powerful genjutsus. It originated in the Uchiha clan which has since left the leaf village." Kaze moved to the next one, "This is the Byakugan, it gives near three hundred sixty degree vision and the ability to read chakra. It has originated in the Hyuga clan, in fact, Shurima back there comes from the Hyuga." The girl in the back had short black hair and pale eyes blushed.

"Don't be embarrassed." said Kaze turning back to the board, "And this last one is the Rinnegan, It's a fabled prowess of untold power."

"Kaze-sensei." said the Hyuga girl.

Kaze looked up, "What is it?"

"Can you show us your visual jutsu?" she asked in a shy tone. When she finished the rest of the class gasped and began to whisper amongst themselves.

Kaze chuckled, "How'd you figure out about my jutsu, it was supposed to be kept secret."

"Well, uh, I heard someone talking about it." said the Hyuga girl.

Kaze shook his head with a smile, "Those idiots, well, since you all know about it I suppose I could show you… if, you pass this quiz." The entire class groaned as Kaze passed out a piece of paper.

When he got to Shurima he whispered, "Come with me." The Hyuga girl felt her stomach flip as she got up and followed Kaze.

When they were in the hall Kaze turned and kneeled, "Do your parents know that you've awakened the byakugan?"

Shurima shook her head, "No, You're the only one who knows and-" she paused for a moment, "How did you know I'd awoken the byakugan?"

"The only people who know about my visual jutsu are Mizu, Kakashi, and Guy, and I know that they would never say something in public." said Kaze smiling, "Alright show me."

Shurima nodded and activated her byakugan, Kaze smiled, "Very good, how long can you sustain it?"

"Not very long, my chakra reserves are small." said Shurima releasing the byakugan.

Kaze looked at her intrigued, "Hitomi." he said as his pupil split into four spirals in each corner of his eyes. As he looked at Shurima he noticed that her chakra network was very disconnected, but her reserves were immense, almost that of a jonin.

"It's not that you have a small chakra reserve." said Kaze releasing the hitomi, "It's that your chakra network is disconnected, hasn't anyone told you that?"

Shurima again shook her head, "No… I don't get much attention."

Kaze shook his head and looked down, "Well how about you and I work together on our visual jutsus?"

Shurima smiled as her eyes lit up, "That sounds great. But haven't you mastered your jutsu yet?"

"Not yet, I only recently awoke it." said Kaze standing up, "Now let's see how the class is doing."

Shurima nodded and they walked back into the classroom to see all the students waiting patiently. Kaze walked to the front of the room, "Well… good work, you all passed." He smiled.

"You're kidding me." said one student, "You can't just do that."

"Yes I can. And why are you upset, now you can see my visual jutsu, but if you're angry that you passed then I guess you don't need to see it." said Kaze giving a light grin.

The class turned and glared at the student as Shurima giggled. Kaze gave a hefty laugh, "Alright, if you really want to see it I'll show you."

Kaze prepared to perform the jutsu, but right before he activated it Suton rushed into the class, "Mizu and Kasai's team haven't returned from their mission yet."

"What?" said Kaze, breaking his concentration.

"Yeah, they left a few days ago and were supposed to be back yesterday." said Suton.

Kaze looked over, "Class dismissed."

The class groaned and walked out of the room. Suton walked in after they all left, "Lady Tsunade said that we need to go look for them, they were headed towards the border to escort some people to the village hidden in the sand."

"So do we know what happened?" asked Kaze as they left the academy.

Suton looked over, "Well no, but we know the route that they took."

"Well let's go and try and catch up to them." said Suton.

As they approached the gates of the hidden leaf they were stopped by Genma.

"Genma-sensei, what is it?" asked Mizu.

"I was told by the hokage to go with you guys, apparently Mizu and Kasai's team were attacked by very powerful rogue ninja." said Genma.

Kaze looked up, "Is it Akatsuki?"

"We don't believe so, but we need to go." said Genma.

The three of them rushed down the path that Kasai and Mizu's team took. After an hour of running they found Kasai and Otoku unconscious.

Suton lifted Kasai's head as he opened his eyes, "What happened?"

"We were attacked, they were after Hiyoku." Kasai tried getting up, but collapsed under his weight.

"Don't move." said Genma, "You two, go after the rest of them, I'll stay here."

Suton and Kaze nodded and dashed away. Kasai looked up at Genma, "Why did you let them go, they can't win. The leader of their group has a kekkei tota."

Genma looked at Kasai with shock, "What is it?"

"It's-" Kasai stopped and fell unconscious.

"Dammit." shouted Genma. Out of the trees appeared a group of ninja, "Well it looks like we're going to have to fight." smiled Genma.

With Kaze and Suton.

"I think I see something." said Kaze squinting at a group of people. As they approached they noticed that they began to slow down.

"Wha-What's happening?" said Suton as he slowly dropped to the ground. He looked up to see Mizu, Ki, and Tochi standing in place back to back.

Mizu looked to see Kaze and Suton falling to the ground, "What are you doing here?"

"We came looking for you, where's Hiyoku?" said Kaze making contact with the ground.

"A group of ninja took her." said Ki, "And there was nothing we could do."

Kaze looked around and saw a flash moving around them, "What's that?"

"It's the caster of the jutsu." said Mizu.

"Hitomi." said Kaze as his eyes changed. As he looked around he noticed that they were completely surrounded by chakra. Kaze reached to grab his sword slowly, once he managed to grab it he pushed chakra through it so he could replicate the jutsu.

He continued to push chakra through his sword until he was able to move freely and everything else remained almost in place. He looked around to see the caster of the jutsu standing across the clearing from him.

"How did you break my jutsu." said the caster.

"I replicated it." said Kaze releasing the hitomi.

The caster stared at him in awe, "How could you do that, it's my kekkei genkai?"

"My visual prowess allows me to copy any jutsu." said Kaze preparing to attack the caster. He charged at him and rammed his shoulder into the caster who didn't seem to move at all. Kaze walked up to the caster who sat, leaned against the tree, "Are you going to fight back?"

"I can't, I was never trained in the ninja ways because my jutsu always won the battle." said the caster as a tear rolled down his eye.

Kaze kneeled down, "So who are you and what do you want with Hiyoku?"

"I'm Hito, and I'm with a group who travels the great nations and search for clans with kekkei genkai and kekkei tota." said Hito.

"Why did you join them, you don't seem like that bad of a guy?" said Kaze extending his hand.

Hito grasped his hand and stood up, "They saved me when my village was destroyed, so I feel like I owe them."

"Well, can you release your jutsu so we can go get our friend back?" asked Kaze.

Hito nodded and made a hand sign, soon after everyone began to move normally.

Mizu ran over to Kaze and saw Hito and began weaving hand signs.

"Stop, he's not a threat, and we need him to find Hiyoku." said Kaze, "Now, lead us to Hiyoku."

Hito looked around, "Why?"

"Well your group obviously doesn't care about you, especially since they didn't train you to fend for yourself." said Kaze.

Hito looked down, "Maybe they just wanted my abilities."

Kaze nodded, "Now, take us to Hiyoku."

"They probably took her back to our hideout, I'll take you there, but you have to promise me something." said Hito.

"And what's that?" asked Mizu.

"Take me with you when you go to the leaf." said Hito beginning to walk towards his hideout.

Kaze looked at Mizu and Suton who both nodded, "That's fine, just take us to Hiyoku."

Hito nodded and rushed towards the hideout. After about fifteen minutes they stopped in front of Hito's hideout.

"This is it." said Hito, "I can get you in, but I don't know where they'll be holding your friend."

Hito walked up to the door and placed his palm in it. After a moment it opened to reveal a squad of ninja preparing to fight, they each threw kunai at Hito, but before they could hit him a wall of mud rose out of the ground and absorbed the kunai. Tochi and Ki grabbed Hito and rushed out of the way as Kaze quickly made hand signs, "Wind style wrath of the twin gods." Wind quickly pushed the ninja back and off balance where Suton and Mizu quickly ran in and cut the enemy down with their swords.

Mizu looked over at Ki and Tochi, "You guys stay here." They nodded as Mizu, Suton and Kaze rushed into the base.

They ran through a maze of corridors until they ran into an open room. When they stopped they saw large green, glowing tubes full of people floating in a bubbly liquid.

"Wha-what is this?" asked Suton looking around.

"This is one of the greatest operations in the history of the ninja world." said a mysterious voice. Out of the shadows walked a figure who was average height, glasses, light brown hair and small glasses.

"Who are you?" asked Mizu preparing to fight.

The man laughed, "If you want your friend back you'll have to calm down."

"Dammit, where do you have her?" asked Mizu.

"You'll find out soon enough." said the man.

"Who are you?" asked Kaze.

"I'm Akui, the greatest scientist known to man." said Akui.

Mizu drew his sword, but before he could push chakra through it Akui stepped in, "That won't work, I know what you're doing and I've developed an immunity to genjutsu."

Mizu scowled and sheathed his sword, "Where is Hiyoku."

"You'll have her back soon enough, we just need a sample of her blood and to extract something from her." said Akui grinning.

Suton looked at Mizu who nodded back, soon after Suton slowly wove hand signs while Kaze continued to ask questions. After a few moments Suton slipped into the ground and a stone clone of Suton rose from the ground.

Suton's Perspective

Suton rose out of the ground in a room full of people hooked up to machines. A person at a console turned around, "Is that you lord Akui?"

Suton quickly wove hand signs and encased the person's body except his head, "Where is Hiyoku."

The man struggled to get free, "You mean the girl with storm style? She's long gone, probably even dead."

Suton began to crush the man's body until he screamed for him to stop, "Alright alright, I'll tell you, she's at the end of a hall with a thick door guarding her." Suton nodded and rushed away as the man yelled out, "Hey! Are you going to let me out!?"

"Don't worry, I'll be back." said Suton running out of the room. He ran to an intersection and looked down both hallways. He ran to the right, he quickly saw a large door come into view, but before he got to it an alarm began to sound and a group of ninja ran into the hallway. Suton began to slide to a halt while weaving hand signs. When he came to a stop a group of spikes made of earth pierced each of the ninja. He quickly weaved in and out of the dead ninja and ran to the door and tried to push it open. After a few moments he stepped back and wove hand signs, "Earth style bear avalanche." Out of the ground grew five bears of stone that charged at the door, when they made contact the forced broke the door open. When Suton ran in he saw Hiyoku sitting in a chair surrounded by people poking her with needles and connecting tubes to her.

"Who are you?" asked one of the people.

Suton wove hand signs, "I'm the one who set that alarm off." Out of the ground rose spikes of earth that pierced all of the people.

"That wasn't very nice." said a familiar voice. Out of the shadows stepped Akui.

Suton charged at him and unsheathed his sword and slashed through Akui who dissipated into a dark black smoke. The smoke moved to the other side of the room and reformed into Akui.

"What is this?" asked Suton.

Akui smiled, "This, is my kekkei genkai."

Suton scowled and looked over at Hiyoku. He rushed over and began to disconnect the tubes and she began to regain consciousness.

"Whe-where am I?" she asked.

"You've been captured, I'm here to save you. Keep disconnecting those tubes while I keep him distracted." said Suton stepping in front of her.

Akui laughed, "That's cute." He dissipated into smoke and began to surround Suton. As the smoke made contact with Suton's skin it began to burn him. Suton let out screams of agony as his skin was slowly burned away.

Hiyoku finished pulling the tubes from her body and saw Suton being burned. She quickly stood up and formed hand signs, "Wind style raging winds jutsu." out of Hiyoku's hands shot a whirlwind that blew the smoke away.

Akui quickly reformed, "You're gonna regret that." He formed hand signs, "Fire style fireball jutsu." Suton quickly formed hand signs and a wall of stone rose out of the ground to block the fireball. Hiyoku looked over as Suton collapsed.

"Suton-sensei!" she said kneeling down next to him.

Suton looked up, "Get out of here, go." Suton fell unconscious as tears rolled down Hiyoku's cheeks. She stood up and faced Akui, but before either of them could move Akui was engulfed in water.

Through the door rushed Mizu as Hiyoku lowered her guard, "Mizu-sensei, Suton-sensei needs your help."

"I'm kind of busy right now, what's happening to him?" asked Mizu not breaking concentration. Akui turned into smoke and fell to the bottom of the sphere and Hiyoku looked at the water and got an idea.

She wove hand signs and began to charge chakra into her hands, "Lightning style a thousand volts jutsu." Out of her hands flew multiple bolts of lightning that sent a strong electrical current through the water causing Akui to return to his natural state. The shock caused him to become weak and Mizu released his jutsu and drew his sword.

Akui looked up, "You wouldn't kill an unarmed man would you?"

"No, but I am taking you back to the leaf village." said Mizu as he pushed chakra through his sword. A few moments later Akui's pupils disappeared into the color of his eyes and his posture dropped.

"What did you do Mizu-sensei?" asked Hiyoku concerned about Akui.

"I put him into a genjutsu so that he wouldn't put up a fight on the way back to the leaf." said Mizu with a smile, "Now let's get out of here."

Hiyoku nodded and they both walked out with Akui on their heals. When they got to the entrance they saw the rest of the group there, waiting for them.

"You made it." said Genma with a smile, "We were starting to get worried."

Kasai walked up to Hiyoku , "Are you alright?"

Hiyoku smiled, "Thanks to Mizu-sensei I am."

Kaze looked around, "Where's Suton?" Out of the shadows of the broken down hideout walked the shape of a bear. When it walked into the light it was a bear carrying Suton on it's back.

"What's this?" asked Genma.

"I am Tsume, and Suton summoned me here to take him to you." said the bear.

Kaze looked at the bear baffled, "You're Tsume? But you never talked before."

"Well actually I'm in contract with Suton as a summon. We only recently figured it out, it was about the time right before you guys fought Hidan and Kakuzu." said Tsume.

"So that's why you left." said Mizu. Tsume nodded and rested Suton onto the ground. Mizu quickly ran over and began to cover his body in water to help with the burns.

Genma walked over, "We need to get him back to the leaf." Mizu nodded as he and Genma picked up Suton.

Kasai walked over, "Let me take him, I can get there faster than any of you." Both Genma and Mizu nodded and placed Suton into Kasai's arms as his feat ignited. A moment later Kasai was gone and everyone else walked over.

"Is Suton-sensei going to be okay?" asked Hiyoku .

Mizu looked down, "I hope so." Hiyoku's stomach flipped as the rest of the group headed back to the leaf village.
