Maybe it is or maybe it's not but nevertheless a battle will soon be underway, and after some few battles/missions I will then proceed to the chunin exams arc taking place in the hidden leaf. Plus more members and other characters will have screen more action! Leave your comments and remarks once more.
And on we go!
The Yugure organization was all gathered together in their cave hideout / headquarters and prepare to begun its operations. The members that saw Borei with new recruits were quite surprise while others were relieve to see them back again and greeted him and his family open arms.
"Welcome back Borei." Ryota said as he went down the stairs along with his cousin Jujihoka.
Jujihoka was a fair skin man at the same height as Ryota except he is younger and also he has black eyes and brown hair and wore the Yugure outfit with hood and veil.
" Uncle Borei and Nagato are back!" Seiichi went down also to greet Nagato as his close family despite not being blood tied.
Seiichi also look almost exactly the same as his father like a clone copy except he is a junior, he also wears a hood and veil.
"Well, look who's back." Zabuza said in a smirk underneath his wrapped bandages and fold his arms leaning in the wall. He also wore his Yugure hood.
Borei nodded his head to him and understand his greeting then there are Zabuza Momochi's apprentices Haku of the Ice style and Isaribi.
Haku was a young boy with feminine looks and an androgynous appearance, he had long black river hair and dark brown eyes and pale skin. He wore the Kirigakure green haori and pinstriped outfit underneath his Yugure cloak and hood attire. He also wear his hidden mist headband and mask in his face.
Isaribi was a purple haired girl with black eyes. She wore a light blue sleeveless tunic blouse with brown shorts, she also wears a sash in her waist, she also wore the yugure cloak and hood.
They both approached to Borei who they also see them as a close Uncle and they hug him too as well. Then they ran up to their close friend Nagato Sorachi which they hug him tight too.
" It's good to have you back Nagato." Haku said to him.
"Yeah, we are glad your safe and also we are a little bit of jealous you had to go on missions while we are stuck here." she said a little sadness.
Nagato put his hand on Isaribi's shoulder and comforted her "Don't worry we'll all join together and get our action soon." he reassured them.
A new member walked up to the group, it was a green haired girl with orange bangs and her hair is tied up in a bun,she has pupiless brown eyes and she wears a sleeveless backless top and short tight pants,with two lapels on the front and back. She wears and obi around her waist as well as purple arm warmers which extended up her shoulders and has bandages on her tights and ankles. It was Pakura of the Scorch Style and she was happy to see one of her comrades safe and alive.
Pakura approach Haku and hugged him tight, showing her affections to him and at the same time she saw Borei's son Nagato with them. " Hello to you Nagato. I'm glad your back too." she said with a smile.
Nagato also bowed to her and replied " Hello to you too Pakura, I also notice you and Haku are together are you?" as he looks at their affection.
Pakura blushed but nodded and said " Yes it's true that me and Haku are together."
Haku even blush at her words and spoke up as he felt her warmth " I'm her pretty boy and only to her." he admitted and close his eyes.
" That's right I won't let anyone get him or take him away from me." Pakura said with determination as she hugged him tight.
Nagato understood their bond to each other as well as Isaribi and smiled for them " Hehehehe, alright you two come on, we got a meeting with everyone else."
They then all proceed to the meetings and all the members plus the new ones were gathered altogether. There was also Karin Uzumaki and plus Nagato's cousin, she was a long red haired girl with red eyes and glasses and was wearing a lavender uniform and black short pants. Yagura and Utakata were there as well, Yagura now served alongside Yugure's organization. Utakata was welcome anytime in Yugure and now he brought along his apprentice Hotaru. Hotaru was a short young woman, with dark-green eyes, a widow's peak, and blonde wavy hair past her shoulders. She wears a light violet top, black shorts, a black shirt, black high boots and light violet wristbands and also the Yugure hood and cloak. There's also Yukimaru the long-haired boy and his caretakers Guren and Gozu. Guren and Gozu were subordinates of Orochimaru but when they saw him as a vile and cruel man in nature they refuse to support him and abandoned their affiliations with him and went on their own. Yukimaru lost his mother at that time when they encountered Guren and Gozu when Guren killed her and thus swearing to protect Yukimaru with her life.
Borei was in the center followed by his son and wife addressing attention to the other members.
"Today we have new recruits, Itachi and Shisui Uchiha as well as Sasori of the Red Sand." he proclaimed to them and the 3 new recruits revealed their faces to the rest of the Yugure. The mist nins were shocked and awed because when Itachi and Shisui were revealed as the best Uchiha prodigies in the clan they can't believe they have them in their side now, Yagura remained neutral to the duo because the Uchiha's reminded him off the masked man named Madara but decided not to attract any attention. Pakura was surprise to see one of her fellow village team member was now in the Yugure organization.
"Sasori what a surprise, I never thought you would be here." Pakura smiled
Sasori closed his eyes and smiled too " It's a surprise as well to see you here too Pakura and by the looks of it you got a boyfriend." he said as he was observant.
Pakura nodded and went to Haku's side. Then everything was back in briefing.
"Alright, since everyone is all introduce up, we've got ourselves some serious missions, but before that I wanted to say to you all is about our information on the Akatsuki. The Akatsuki is a dangerous organization, they are individuals who are S-ranked and seek power for their goals. We have to be careful around them because they will never hesitate to attack or kill anyone that stands in their way. Akatsuki members are reported to wear black cloaks with red clouds, they also slash out their affiliations on their headbands. If you spotted any of these members, report immediately and relay the intel so we can figure out what we can do about them." Borei explained. All the members of the Yugure nodded their heads and understood.
"All right, today we received reports that there are rumored multiple killings of civilians and shinobi in the south island border of the mist. This is real bloody because the information gathered is that it was only done by one individual who killed everyone and it was reported to be a person who calls himself the Butcher and according to reports that this person is non human or not human at all and is really sadistic in killing many people." Borei explained. Some were shocked at hearing this piece of information, Even Zabuza was quite surprised and intrigued, out of all the members in the Yugure Zabuza had more killings and gain a reputation of a bloody demon.
"What do we do about it?" Ryota then ask.
"We investigate if it's true and if it is, we stopped the Butcher from causing more harm to people." Borei then looked at his members and decide " Alright then, who would come with me?"
The members were unsure at first then wanted to prove their resolve. The Sorachi family were capable of doing any missions so anyone was free to go with them. Zabuza, Haku, Isaribi, Pakura, Misora, Sasori and the Uchiha prodigies decide to raise their hands. Borei understood and the rest didn't raise their hands.
Borei nodded who wants to go " all right then, those who would come with me, prepare your things in ten minutes the rest of you guard the island and contact us for more info." They all nodded and prepare themselves.10 minutes later they mobilise.
(Later on the south border island)
Borei's group has been prepared and ready for action, they use a boat to land on the beach and search for the Butcher. They are split into two squads to search at different directions. When they landed the two groups split up.
"I'll take the west side, Nagato you take your squad to the east side." Borei said.
Nagato nodded " alright, follow me." he said to his squad and they move east.
Borei's squad is consist of Himself, Miyuki, Misora, Zabuza and Sasori. While Nagato's squad is consist of Himself, Haku, Isaribi, Pakura, Itachi and Shisui. They cover the ground in two directions and began to search for any lifesigns. The place in the south island border in the mist was a dark and desolate one. The air was thick with the scent of blood everywhere, indicating there were multiple massacres all in one in the same area giving a red cloud of doom or a sickening feeling.
Borei's group walk steadily and quietly in the west pathway, the sound was so silent it felt like they were being watched or worse they are entering someone's domain, thick red blood mists covered the trees and the sides everywhere, but the path road was not giving it a frightening suspense.
"Stay together everyone, who knows what lurks out here." Borei said.
"Was it a good a idea to send our son alone with his teammates Borei?" Miyuki ask in concern.
Then Borei looked at his wife. " Don't worry, our son is a tough lad who can take on anything if he needs help then we will be always there with him no matter what." he said in confidence and seriousness.
Miyuki nodded and continue on forward.
Misora then widened her eyes and detected some faint chakra signatures as she was a sensor type. " I detected a faint chakra signature from one individual and it's over there." she pointed at the straight direction.
"All right let's see what's going on." Borei nodded and the group move to that location.
Pretty soon they encountered a wounded man, lying down in a tree trunk and was bleeding heavily, they rushed to his side and secure the perimeter around them. The man was still breathing.
Borei knelt down to the injured man and check his vital signs. " Are you okay sir, Can you hear me?" he asked.
The man was close to dying, but he still have few energy left to reply to Borei " Yes, I can hear you…. But please listen to me." he said.
Borei nodded and notion the man to continue on.
" We were attacked by a giant fiend who calls himself the Butcher…. we led an assault to stop him,... He's location is in a dark tomb inside a cave. but… we were powerless to defeat him… everyone's dead and I escaped with my bleeding life…..Avenge us!... Find this Butcher and slay him so that our souls may finally rest." then he close his eyes and passed away.
Borei's group was really shocked that a demon did this and really made this place into a slaughterhouse. He then ordered his squad to move out and continue.
(Meanwhile on Nagato's group)
Nagato's group was scouring on the east side coastline even they realize the terrain itself was so unholy.
" Be on your guard who knows what horrors lurk in this place." he said.
"Nagato I'm detecting a chakra signature up ahead it's only one person and no others and my sensors detecting it's strong." Shisui said.
"Ok, let's head over there." Nagato said and they all move to that location.
Nagato's group found an old man sitting on a tree, he was wearing a black cloak was on his mid forties. They approached him slowly.
"Excuse me sir, is something going on right now?" Nagato asked
"Ah, you must be new here, I'm an apothecary and healer in this place, come on let's talk somewhere else, where we can't be found and detected." he said. Nagato's group understood and they followed him to safety. They reached up to an old house which must be his home and safehouse.
They settled in first and began to have a conversation. " I see from the looks on your attire and outfit you are shinobis am i correct?" he asked.
Nagato's group nodded Yes to him.
The healer sighed and began to explain things." as you can see right now the entire area is covered with thick red mist and blood like sulphur everywhere. The one who cause this is a vile fiend known as the Butcher."
He explained.
Nagato's group were stunned at what he said it was really true and according to their own intel it's a real bloody massacre.
" Do you know what this demon is?" Shisui asked
The healer nodded " yes, I know this vile demon, there were many that bore the scars of his wrath upon the bodies when the few survivors crawled out of the tomb in a cave. I don't know what he used to slice open his victims but it couldn't have been from this world. It left wounds that I found almost impossible to treat. Beware if you plan to battle this fiend."
Then Isaribi step forward and ask. "Is there anyone else who knew about this fiend or monster who we can talk too?" she said
Then another man walked up to him and began to explain " I do, i even know some parts about him, because i fought him but fled to escape when I was no match for him." he said.
Nagato's group began to listen to his tale. The man/witness began to explain them that the Butcher was once a boy who live on his own and when war broke out he lost his family, enraged he try to kill the enemies who killed his flesh and blood. His name was Shuta and he now thrives in killing everyone in his bloodlust, he was once human but he somehow now change into a hideous and ugly fiend that revels in torture and killing. Nagato and his group now understood the situation. They have to kill Shuta and stop his madness. The man also describes Shuta as a tall apron armor like fiend with big upward horns and sharp teeth and disgusting features and he has blood everywhere coming out from his body and also had a large cleaver like scythe and a giant sickle hook.
Nagato and his comrades thank the man and this piece of information and proceed to eliminate this threat. The man also told them he also resides in the bloody town nearby and that's the place where he searches for victims.
Nagato and his comrades proceed to that town and rendezvous with his father and mother's team to hunt Shuta down and secure the place.
(20 minutes later)
Nagato's squad has reach the town and it was bloodied and in ruins there were less chakra signatures in the area in it and people were hiding.
"Alright we're here. Be on alert who knows when the Butcher will strike." Nagato reminded them. They all then walk slowly and high alert for the enemy.
"Look at this place, so many carnage and death." Itachi said as he also saw ruins before during his time as a youth.
"I know man. I can't believe how one demon did all this and lay waste to a single town and not one survive. " Shisui also said as he narrowed his eyes and look around and saw too many blood spilled everywhere.
"I'm just glad I'm grateful to be alive otherwise I'd be ended worse." Haku said as he also follow behind and aware at his surroundings.
"Don't worry, when face to face with death say all the things you need then you can move on to the next action." Pakura said.
Haku just nodded and stay close.
"How many people were here living in this place and how many did this Butcher carve them all?" Isaribi then ask.
"I don't know but I'm just hoping we're not the ones next to be Butchered." Nagato replied.
They then heard loud footsteps approaching to the left side in the town, with their quick instincts something was coming up.
"Quick! Hide!" Shisui said.
They went to the hiding spots away from the street and not give away their position. Then out of the blue they spotted the Butcher, the intel they received from the witness was all true, this fiend is demonic and masochistic and all the other descriptions fit the match, He was 20 feet tall and had a giant cleaver like axe in one hand and a sickle hook on the other hand and had sharp teeth and long horns giving it a gruesome appearance with all the blood around him. He was also carrying fresh corpses he slain in his massacre.
"Ah, Fresh Meat!" he proclaimed in a very sickening voice.
Nagato's group was hiding away from the Butcher's vision but also able to get a look at the gruesome fiend.
"My God this fiend is out of this world." Nagato said.
As the fiend pass from them, Nagato's group were safe and unscathed for now.
They jump out of the hiding spots and regroup.
"That was close, man that creature was scary." Isaribi said.
"Yeah, I know. He had a sick attitude for slaughter." Haku said as he compose himself.
"If we are gonna stand up and stop him, we will have to face him and get over our fears from his gruesomeness. Let's get the others here now." Nagato suggested and they all nodded.
Pretty soon Borei's squad rendezvous with his son's and explained the details and situation right now. He understood his son and now began to work to stop Shuta once and for all. Nagato explained that Shuta was inside a tomb cave as his lair as well the intel of his descriptions. The Yugure squad now then proceed to the lair inside the cave.
The squad arrive about 10 minutes later and when they saw the entrance and it red the sign "Butcher's Lair! Stay out!" they were shock to see blood,guts and dead bodies piled around in and out of the cave.
"Alright, Our mission is simple find and kill the Butcher. We will split up once more into two squads and when you found Shuta, contact your position and we will take him out together." Borei said. Then they all move out.
It was a dark tomb inside, even much more filled with dead bodies, guts from the victims and blood on the walls, they all search for the Butcher in the first and second floor basements but with no contact. Nagato's squad then head down to third one and saw a giant door and they could tell from the other side something is inside there it's gonna get a whole lot of ugly.
Nagato's squad get into position and brace themselves as Nagato and Itachi opened the gates, they saw a very big fiery chamber filled with mutilated corpses and worst of all the Butcher himself.
"Ah Fresh meat!" he proclaimed. Then the Butcher launched himself on the center and unleash his war cry at his new victims. It's gonna be a slaughter
Pakura narrowed her eyes then said " Scorch Style: Scorching Sphere!" she launched a scorching fireball towards him but The Butcher stood his ground and use his giant axe cleaver to block it.
' Oh no, is he immune to fire!' Pakura thought.
The Butcher then launched himself towards the 6 to charge and ready his sickle hook to swipe them.
"Scatter!" Shisui ordered then they went to different directions before they were swiped and luckily they are unscathed.
Itachi noted that fire style Jutsu won't work then he tried another tactic he called handsigns "Water Style: Water Dragon Missile!" he then launched a Water Dragon to immobilize the Butcher as the stream of water collided him stopping it in it's tracks.
Then it was Haku and Isaribi's turn. Haku leaped up and said " Ice Style: Ice Spears." he then launched the spears towards the Butchers shoulders to weaken his grips on the weapons at the same time Isaribi launch Water Bullets on the Butcher's face to weaken him. But things got out of hand.
The Butcher was now in outrage he stomped his foot on the ground creating a shockwave blowing everyone back skid a feet and then he launched his grappling hooks from his sickle and pulled in Haku, Isaribi and Itachi to flush them out and when he pulled them in. The Butcher raised his cleaver-axe and then slammed it to the ground to his victims, but before it made contact Pakura, Shisui and Nagato launched jutsus to protect them.
"Windstyle:-" The three said prepared their attacks
"Great Breakthrough!" Nagato said.
"Air Bullets!" Pakura said.
"Vacuum sphere!" Shisui said.
The wind jutsus collide the Butcher. Nagato's Jutsu stumbled him losing his balance and control. Pakura's Jutsu targeted the chains and stop grappling the victims and finally Shisui's Jutsu shot in the Butcher's head leaving a blast in his face and several cuts in his body having more blood in blood.
The Butcher tried to use his inferno flame technique on the ground but it proved futile as the 6 cover themselves from Pakura's Scorch dome, Haku's Ice Shield and Nagato's Plasma wall to hold their ground.
The Butcher was still fighting he then forget the chained victims he then stomp the ground and suddenly rush like a mad bull to ram the other 3 in his sights. The 3 dodge attack and left the Butcher crash into the stonewall stunning him.
" Are you guys alright?" Pakura ask in concern to the first 3.
"We're still okay Pakura-chan!" Haku said as he got up and so was Isaribi and Itachi as they too got up.
"It's time to stop him! Plasma style: Plasma Web!" he called out. And Nagato's plasma stopped him dead in his tracks and grappling both his arms and legs preventing him from escaping. " It's now or never!" he said to them. Nagato created another Plasma Clone while the others began to use their Jutsu's to finish him off.
"Ice Style: Ice Dragon Missile!"
"Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere!"
" Water Style: Water Dragon Missile!"
"Wind Style: Air Bullets!"
"Water Style: Water Tank Bullets!"
"Earth Style: Splinter Stone Needle!"
Then all of the jutsus attacked the Butcher overwhelming him, Nagato's clone, trap him in his earth Jutsu, then Haku, Pakura ,Isaribi and the Uchiha prodigies Jutsu came straight at him in all directions and hitting him straight in the head and torso ripping him apart even more. The Butcher screamed out and then when taken enough damage his entire body was succumbed into flame and then dissolve all its skin eventually killing and finishing him off. When it was done, They all panted in relief it was over now, The Butcher was gone and all what's left of him was his bones.
The six people pulled themselves together and recovered. Haku was helped to his feet by Pakura and Itachi was helped to his feet by Shisui. Isaribi was fine so she pulled her own feet up.
Nagato smiled that it was done and said "He is gonna be buried what's left of him in a tin can!" that also made the others have great laugh.
