Early the next morning I sat up in the tree and watched as my team members prepare themselves. We all were preparing ourselves for the battle to come. Not one of us spoke a word. Seitaro was currently reading a scroll. Saya was sharpening her kunai. Yuma-sensei was just keeping watch. '

Speaking up I asked," Before we go can I have one request, Yuma-sensei."

She answered immediately," Yes Keiji?"

Breathing outwards I stated," As I am the only one who knows how to defeat the demons I request you let me handle them."

Yuma-sensei nodded," Seeing the logic in that I will allow it."

Saya growled," Can we get going now?"

Seitaro spoke up," I agree."

Running off into the trees as I went back to my role as the heavy hitter.


We moved at steady pace through the trees as explosions sounded nearby. Yuma-sensei growled as she called back to Saya and Seitaro," Heads up three elite-jounin level shinobi are headed back towards us. Prepare to fight." Landing in the tree I was in as I watched from a distance while they stood still. Seitaro had drawn a clan relic. The infamous white chakra saber of Sakumo Hatake. Saya had two kunai in a reverse grip with her sharingan blazing. Three Iwa jounin appeared in blurs as one laughed," An Uchiha, hyūga, and a Hatake. But you guys should be traveling in a group of four not three."

Yuma-sensei growled," Don't try to get cocky."

A second one got into a stance," Your Yuma Hyūga of the Byakugan. Also known as the all seeing priestess of the Moon. A high A ranked borderline low S ranked kunoichi."

The other two Jounin paled and got into stance. Taking this as my opportunity I silently intoned,' Honō no kokyū: Ku no kata: Rengoku!' Disappearing in a strike and since two of them were in a straight line I cut one through the closer one through the head and the other clean through his waist. Blood sprayed a second later as the last Jounin growled and disappeared but not without a warning," You boy will pay for killing my comrades."

I cursed," Fuck."

Yuma-sensei shrugged," Eh I piss them off more than you. Keiji but excellent timing."

Saya sighed," I am so glad they didn't use their KI."

Seitaro smiled," Thanks for the save."

Laughing I responded," Not a problem we are comrades after all but I have a feeling that I am going to be in their Bingo Book already. But oh well we wanted to make our mark in the war."


We continued towards the front lines but this time I stuck around. Thankfully my sword techniques just requires a certain breathing style and not chakra. Seitaro called out," I sense roughly fifty energy signatures nearby. All of them Chunin to Jounin level. One of them though...is Kage level."

Yuma-sensei ordered," Scatter!" All of us jumped into the trees around the area as explosions came from where we were standing. A man came forward floating towards Yuma as he smirked," Yuma Hyūga of the Hidden Leaf. Where is that boy that killed two of my Jounin with a strange sword technique?"

My sharingan activated as I watched and waited for an opening. She suddenly signaled us to come out as Seitaro and Saya jumped down immediately a bit cautious I finally disappeared in a body flicker appearing in front of my team with my hand on my sword and in a stance. The Tsuchikage laughed," So you are the child capable of killing my elite soldiers. I find that hard to believe. According to my spies back in your village well you are the weakest graduates."

Raising an eyebrow I replied," Its called deception also isn't that what a shinobi does. Or are you just old enough to forget that."


The Tsuchikage laughed," You have spunk child I will give you that but." He disappeared appearing in front of me and was driving a kunai at me. In an instant my sword parried the kunai but the force sent me flying back as Saya yelled," Keiji!" I slammed through a tree coughing up blood,'Dammit. He immediately targeted me.'

Wincing in pain I stood up weakly as he smirked," Impressive."

Disappearing in a shunshin I appeared in front of him with flames already encasing my sword," Honō no kokyū: Ichi no kata: Shiranui!" Aiming for his head I slashed multiple times repeatedly as he ended up getting scorched skin and cuts as he touched his cheek before jumping back and laughed," Not bad Genin, but with those two sword techniques you must be low on Chakra." I laughed," Actually no these sword techniques I developed only depend on breathing. Also that technique has a lot of force behind it. So in other words I still have almost all my reserves."

His eyes widened as he disappeared and I felt his hand puncture my stomach as I coughed out blood, dropping to my knees as I looked down seeing the bloodied wound in my stomach. Yuma-sensei appeared in front of me and yelled," Kaiten!" A spinning dome of chakra surrounded me as I stood up and breathed in stilling the blood or known as Hemostasis. Standing up I breathed shallowly," I'm alright go I won't die." Saya growled," Yet your injured."Giving her a glare I spoke," In all honesty Saya, Seitaro you will only get in the way. Your chakra is low from earlier."

Yuma-sensei yelled," Get out of here its my job as your sensei to protect and guide you!"

Retorting instantly," Actually its your job to help us if needed and write me up for insubordination I don't care. This is war."

Disappearing from view in a shunshin I heard the Tsuchikage laugh," Cocky kid. Fine then, Doton: Tsuchi no Yoroi."

Rocks covered him as I spoke with a smirk tight with pain," Have you learned nothing? Even a Kage can fall to a kunai. While you may be powerful you forgot to take one thing into account, never look into the eyes of an Uchiha!" He coughed up blood as the Illusion fell apart. Clutching the wound on my side as he growled anger blazing in his eyes," You insufferable brat." A kunai I had stabbed him with when I had gotten close enough. I knew it was a nearly fatal wound as he released a massive dose of Killer Intent as I nearly collapsed and lost my concentration forcing me to cough out blood.


Forcing my breathing to calm as an angry voice came behind me," What did you do to my son?!"

My mother had arrived and from the other energy signatures our reinforcements have come. Gripping my sword I stood up weakly barely standing from the hole in my stomach. Breathing shallowly I disappeared in the ninth form as my mother yelled," Keiji!"

Ignoring her I focused on my task at hand. Killing the Tsuchikage at the cost of my life.

The Tsuchikage snorted," Stupid Brat. Doton: Tsuchi Tsunami no Jutsu!"

A wave of earth rose from the ground and nearly smashed into me. At the last second I shunshined into a tree away from the danger. My mother, Saya, Yuma-Sensei, and Seitaro all cried out in shock and sadness. He began laughing as one of his Jounin yelled," Sir!"

I had appeared behind him in a shunshin and spoke the second form,"Honō no kokyū: Ni no kata: Nobori en ten." Swinging my blade upwards I severed the Tsuchikage in half."

Gasps of shock and fear sounded from the Konoha side as I fell to my knees coughing up blood. The Iwa jounin and Chunins all broke formation and ran as I collapsed breathing faintly. I was aware of my mother calling my name but paid no heed to it. I knew I was most likely dying. Darkness covered my vision quickly. I fell into blissful unconsciousness.
