-Prologue-

~4:23 am, 13 miles South-east of Konohagakure no Soto, Hi no Kuni~

It was a quite night, with a moon in it's fullest form. Closer down to earth, In the deepest part of a ravine that is miles deep, A large sound that could be heard from miles away...

"RRRROOOOOAAARRRR!!!"

BOOM!

~

BOOM!

~

BOOM!

"EVERYONE SCRAM! THE BEAST IS OUT OF THE RAVINE!"

~swish~ ~swish~

"BACK AWAY! DON'T LET THE BEAST TOUCH YOU! WAIT FOR ORDERS FROM THE SANDAIME!"

"ROAAAAARRRR!!!"

~

Two figures could be seen on the trees observing the large battle with the great beast.

"Jiraiya, What are you waiting for? Let's go down there! You know we can handle this on our own right? We can't afford to lose more lives in this battle!" Said a blonde busty women with a standard Konoha Nin Outfit. "Hey now Tsuande, Don't get too hasty. We still don't entirely know what we are dealing with". Said the man known as "Jiraiya".

~swish~

A Masked Konoha Anbu Black-ops suddenly appeared beside them. "Jiraiya-sama. Tsunade-sama, Direct order from The Sandaime". The Hawk-Masked Anbu threw Jiraiya a scroll. "Hmm.. What could Hiruzen-sensei need?" Wondered Jiraiya.

~

Dear Jiraiya and Tsunade,

We don't have much time so I will be putting this very bluntly. Unfortunately, Hanzo has gotten a bit greedy with his ambitions with the smaller nations. He is leading an army into Kusakagure. We can not afford to let him take Kusakagure. You will be dropping everything your are doing Immediately leaving to meet up with Orochimaru at the border of Hi no Kuni to intercept and defeat Hanzo In battle. Reinforcements for the Shinobi you were sent with to thwart The Beast will be arriving shortly. The Fate of Konohagakure no Soto & Hi no Kuni lay in the balance. Make haste.

Best regards, Hiruzen Sarurobi, Sandaime Hokage of Konohagakure No Soto

"Hiruzen-sensei... Is this so important you just make us leave this battle?.. What about all these lives..." Pondered Jiraiya with a sad look in his eyes.

"Well Jiraiya! Spill it! What's going on!" Asked a Angry Tsunade.

"We are leaving. Immediately!" Jiraiya said in a unusual stern voice.

"Wha-What?" Why! Said Tsunade regaining her composure.

"Orders from Sensei himself. No questions. Follow me. The fate of Hi No Kuni is at risk here. Hiruzen-Sensei Will send reinforcements for these shinobi".

~swish~

Tsunade took one last look at the teared-up forest and shinobi battling the gigantic beast.

"I'm sorry..." said Tsuande knowing the sacrifice of these brave shinobi, As a lone tear slipped out of her eye.

~swish~

~

BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!

"AAAAGGGHH!"

"ORDERS FROM THE SANDAIME! RETREAT! I REPEAT RETRE- AAAGGHH!"

"RRRRROOOOOOAAARRR!!"

~

Kori was not having a good day. Being woken up and called for a immediate S-ranked mission was not his cup of morning coffee, Or his preferred way to start his Jonin Career. He was sent with a rather large squad of 50 Ninjas, Common for an S-ranked mission. But he was quickly briefed on how they were sent to fight and seal a wild Beast. Easy. He thought. Quick and easy. Then I can go back home to my son and wife and celebrate his promotion. He thought. Well He was proven wrong as soon as he got there.

~6:38 am Southeast Of Konohagakure no Soto~

Now, We find Kori Beaten and bruised on the ground. With his dead comrades and friends laying besides him.

He looked at his Best Friend, Nikons body. Laying there cold and dark with a huge gash straight through his chest. He was immediately pulled back to reality when he heard a deafening roar.

"RRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRR!!!!!"

-

boom.

-

Boom!

-

BOOM!

-

BOOM!!!

-

The Beast was running straight towards the last survivor.

Kori Looked up to see the thing they nicknamed "The Beast" above him. The Beast was around 130t tall. It was a large Bull-Ram Mix with a large center horn on it's forehead.

The Beast Raised It's Horn up.. and then with a sickening roar, Pierced Kori's Body apart.

What Kori Didn't notice though, was the 3-Tomoe Sharingan in The Beast's Left Eye.
