A boy appeared in front of Tayaki, with short orange hair and dark combat gear.
-Who you are?
-Did you hit your head for not recognizing me?
-I know you, you are Kiraku, how dare you interfere. Zakuro growled
-I see that nothing has changed Zakuro.
Zakuro fired a bolt of energy towards the blonde, Kiraku stood as if nothing, then enveloped his body with a stream of air that neutralized the enemy's attack.
-Now my turn.
Kiraku stuck his hands in the direction of Zakuro, after a while he created several purple energy arrows in front of him, which he sent towards the enemy. Zakuro tried to avoid them, but one cut him on the cheek, the other on his shoulder, Kiraku immediately appeared in front of him, putting his hand to his stomach, then released a beam of energy from his hand, creating a huge explosion.
"This boy is strong," commented Hatsuko
-Tayaki, don't you really know him? Sariko asked
-I do not reckon
When the smoke cleared, it showed Zakuro kneeling on one knee, part of his coat was damaged.
-You may have won the battle, but the war is not over yet. he said and then disappeared
Kiraku walked over to Tayaki looking at him.
-What is it, you let someone else fool you, you are pathetic Yakito.
-Yakito?
-That's your real name.
-Are you his friend? Black-haired girl asked
-More a rival.
-My name is Hatsuko, I am the leader of this team, we found Yakito when he was unconscious after some battle, we took him to Konoha to help him, unfortunately it turned out that he lost his memory. Jounin explained
-I understand.
-Tell me something about my past, about where I come from? Yakito asked
-Okay, but not here.
The group went out of the village, it was getting late so they camped in a clearing.
-Firstly, know that we come from a small village, our fathers were the best friends, reportedly they took part in countless battles, when they were fed up with it, they found peace in this village, where they met our mothers. Unfortunately, a few years later, when we were born, our village was attacked by a certain person.
-Who was this person? Hatsuko asked
-I don't know, but I know that it was powerful and killed all the inhabitants on its own and completely burned the village down.
"So this image of a burning building, it was a memory," thought Yakito
-My mother took us to a safe place, when we were sailing in the boat there was a wave that kicked everyone out and then we split up, your brother surely joined the one in charge of it all.
-He said you wanted some Nexiro crystal.
Yakito took a crystal out of his pocket.
- He sure means this one.
-You had to get it from your father, I remember wearing it himself.
-Beautiful. - When Sariko reached out to touch him, the crystal attracted itself to her.
"It's strange, this crystal reacted to Sariko." Hatsuko commented
When the girl finished looking at him, Yakito gave him back.
-Yakito you can take your shirt off.
-He, what for?
-I want to check it out.
The brown haired teenager shrugged and did what he said, when he did, everyone noticed scars and Wounds on his back.
-Gosh Yakito, what happened to you? Sariko asked
-I have no idea, but I think that when I was a child I was held and tortured in some cell, unfortunately I only have snippets of that memory - he explained
Meanwhile, Zakuro returned to his hideout.
-How did it go? the woman asked
-Unfortunately, the situation got complicated Kaa-san, but luckily they didn't realize that it was only part of our plan, now let's leave the rest in the hands of the Kumo-Gakure shinobi.
