Episode 25: Killer vs Tatsuzo

Killer punched a wall down.

Tatsuzo turned around to see the wall behind him crumbling down. He clenched his knuckles, when he saw Killer standing there.

Tatsuzo knew he saw that armor before. He looked over, and he realized that there was only two of them.

"Tatsuzo Tekkan." Growled Killer. "I'm Killer. I'm here to beat the living shit out of you."

Yellow suddenly started glowing, and then it transformed into a lion.

That cat's chakra's level is so high... I actually thought that it was two people... Tatsuzo thought.

Yoichi grinned, and he made a hand sign. Ryu jumped off of his shoulder, and then made a hand sign. The two transformed into monkey-people.

Daichi clenched his knuckles, and Kiyomi readied to make a hand sign.

"You guys take the armored man, I'll take the tiger-"

Yellow roared, and stood up on it's back legs. It suddenly transformed into a personified tiger, with opposable thumbs, and everything. Yellow grinned, and he suddenly teleported in front of Daichi, and grabbed him by the collar. Yellow then jumped over a wall, and he landed over it.

Tatsuzo went to go after him, but Killer drew his sword, and stabbed right in front of Tatsuzo. "You're gonna have to fight me first."

"Change in plans..." Tatsuzo didn't sound too happy. "You three go after the tiger. I'll fight this guy. I'll beat him quick so I can help you guys."

Yoichi nodded, and Ryu cracked his knuckles. Kiyomi scaled the wall, along with Yoichi and Ryu.

"Beat me quick, huh? Not gonna happen!"

"Ikkaku. Please, tell us what you know." Asked Rinji. Ikkaku was lying on his back, on a hospital bed. He refused to even speak to anyone. Rinji, his nurse, and Unohana. He was covered in bandages.

"Dude, you gotta tell us!" Yozo called.

"It's not that I won't talk." Said Ikkaku, breaking his silence for the first time. "It's just that I don't know who the terrorists are or what they're objective is."

"What? Are you saying that you battled one of them and you still didn't get anything good?"

"Yes. It may seem strange to you, but sometimes battle is like that. I didn't see his face, or hear his voice. So I'm afraid that I don't have any information for you."

"Well then. I guess we'll just have to leave." Rinji and Yozo walked out. Kenpachi walked passed them, and he walked into the room.

Kenpachi looked down at Ikkaku.

"Sensei..."

"Well, you've certainly been beaten up."

"Nice of you to visit." Ikkaku said.

"Oh, we didn't plan on it." Called Yachiru, who pulled herself up so she was visible on Kenpachi's shoulder. "We just got lost."

"I see Yachiru is here, too..."

"We were trying to find the intruders, but Kenny here was having trouble following directions. Soooo... how are you feeling, Baldy?"

"I asked you not to call me that anymore."

"Should it be Mister Baldy?"

"You little brat!" Ikkaku growled.

"Okay. Mister Shiny Baldy then!"

"Is it true that you were defeated in battle?" Asked Kenpachi, ignoring Yachiru.

"Yes. That is true. I'm shamed to admit it, but I've been defeated by the enemy then allowed to live."

"Is he strong?"

"Yes. Very strong. He appears to be a ninja. He wears basic ninja gear. He has short orange colored hair, and he carries a sword as long as his body- with no guard or grip. He told me that his mission to assassinate the Kinkage."

"He shouldn't be hard to find."

"I gave him a description of you, and I told him to be on the look out for you. My warning about you did not seem to concern him. Regardless of where you meet him, you're sure to have an excellent battle. He was strong then, and from what I saw, his strength is still growing, Sensei. By the time you encounter him, he'll be stronger still."

"Excellent. And his name is?" Kenpachi grinned.

Ice and Grime meant back up, and they started running in Ikkaku's directions that he gave them.

Killer slashed down at Tatsuzo, who dodged backwards.

If I let him slash me, he definetly would have killed me. Tatsuzo thought. Tatsuzo punched at him, hitting the armor. Killer wasn't effected by this, slashing back at him.

Tatsuzo jumped up into the air, and dodged it. He did a front flip over him, and landed on his hands, and he kicked Killer in the back. Killer spun around and slashed down at him. Tatsuzo dodged to the right, and his fist collided with Killer's head. Killer slashed at him again, still not feeling the pain.

I can't beat him. His armor's too strong. I really don't want to use jutsus, because that'd make it too easy. I'll go and fight that stupid cat. He thought.

Tatstuzo jumped up over him, and landed on his shoulders. He then kicked up and tried to jump over the wall.

Killer grabbed his ankle, and then swung him into the ground. He then slashed down at him. Tatsuzo caught his wrist, and then rolled to the side and dodged him.

Yoichi charged at the cat from the side, and punched it in the side. It slashed at him, but then Ryu kicked it in the jaw, and screwd up it's attack. He jumped backwards before he could get attacked by Yellow.
Yoichi punched at him, but then Yellow jumped straight up into the air, and kicked down into his back. Ryu then punched him in the jaw and knocked him backwards against the wall. Yoichi got to his feet.

Daichi punched at Yellow's head, who dodged to the side. Kiyomi drew a kunai, and stabbed at Yellow, who jumped up into the air, and kicked her in the mouth.

Kiyomi stumbled back into Daichi. Daichi caught her.

"Thanks... I'd use my invisibility jutsu, but then it'd handy cap you guys because you might run into me."

"Then use your other jutsu." Yoichi told her, then he charged at Yellow with Ryu.

Daichi punched at him, but he caught it. The force of Daichi's blow blew his shoulder out of place, then he kicked Daichi across the face.

These kids are stronger then I thought. Yellow thought. But, I will crush their bones soon enough.

Kiyomi reached into her ninja tool bag, and she pulled out a scroll. She slammed the scroll into the ground, and made some hand signs. Yellow charged at her, but Daichi and Ryu stood in front of Kiyomi. Yellow jumped over them.

She finished making her hand signs, and she bit her thumb.

Yellow kicked down at Kiyomi's head, but then Yoichi flew into him with a punch, knocking him against Daichi and Ryu. Both of them grabbed one of Yellow's shoulders, then hurled him against the wall.

A steel lance appeared on her scroll. She grabbed it, and then charged at Yellow.

Yellow swatted the head of the lance to the side, then kicked her in the shoulder, almost making her drop the weapon. Kiyomi jumped backwards, and Daichi flew downwards at him.

Tatsuzo punched Killer in the chest, and then got slashed at. Tatsuzo jumped backwards, and dodged the slash. Killer then slashed down at him, and Tatsuzo did a front flip over him. He grabbed his head as he was falling and he knocked Killer onto his back. Tatsuzo flipped to his feet, and he grabbed onto the helmet, and yanked backwards. Killer slashed backwards at Tatsuzo but missed.

Tatsuzo threw the helmet to the side.

Then Tatsuzo remembered where he recognized the armor from. He didn't remember the name. But he recognized the face. From when he was a Genin.

Killer growled, and he slashed Tatsuzo across the shoulder. Tatsuzo stumbled backwards a step, and he held his wound. Killer then stood up, and slashed him across the other shoulder. Tatsuzo went to stand up, but then Killer stabbed down onto his leg.

Tatsuzo bit his lip hard to keep himself from crying out. He bit his lip so hard that he was now bleeding from the mouth.

Killer then bent down next to Tatsuzo's ear. "Tell your old partner, Rinji, that I'm here for a rematch. I know you know who I am." Killer took his helmet, and he jumped over the wall.

A minute ago, Daichi had climbed up the wall with his chakra, and then jumped down and punched down at Yellow. Yellow dodged backwards, then kicked him in the jaw as soon as his fist connected with the ground- making a huge crater.

Daichi was thrown backwards, and he landed on his back.

"Hey." Called a voice. Everyone turned to see the man in knight armor, standing up on the wall. "Stop screwing around, Yellow."

"Fine." Yellow replied. He was suddenly right over Daichi, and he grabbed him by the back of his shirt and hurled him against the wall. Yoichi and Ryu charged him, and Yellow leapt up into the air and punched Yoichi in the jaw, and grabbed Ryu by the throat. He then smashed Ryu into Yoichi.

What the hell is with this guy... Thought Yoichi. A minute ago he was hardly fighting... now he's trying to kill us... He then passed out, turning back into his normal form. Ryu turned back into a monkey.

Kiyomi charged at Yellow, who suddenly teleported, and he was standing right next to Kiyomi, and her weapon suddenly cracked. Then it fell into two pieces. Yellow then smashed her head into the wall, non lethally.

Yellow growled, and he slashed- with his claws- down at Yoichi's back. Killer suddenly teleported and blocked it with his sword. "He told us not to kill anyone that didn't need to die."

"We killed those guys that were in the entrance." Growled Yellow. "Let me kill them."

"No. And when we killed them, that was different. We had no choice. These kids are unconscious, but we don't need to finish them off."

"Finish you off!" Yellow then scratched at Killer's head. Killer was protected by his armor, so he wasn't wounded. But Yellow scratched his armor pretty bad.

"If you do that again, I'll cut your limbs off."

"You don't have the stomach for it. He'll be mad at you." Yellow growled.

"But it'll be worth it. And he'd be mad at you when I tell him that you attacked me, and you tried to finish off these ninja."

Suddenly, several un-squaded Jonin teleported there. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Angrily asked one of them.

Yellow turned, and growled at them.

"Nothing." Killer put his sword away.

Yellow turned back into his normal form.

"Well, get the hell out of here. We need to take these guys and take them to the hospital." One of the Jonin said.
