Early morning in KonohaDanzo sat in his chair waiting for his ROOT to reappear. He had sent out his best ROOT to aid the sound nins. No word had arrived yet but Danzo expected it within the hour. Orochimaru was waiting in the Hokage's office, now red walled. Soon, a tapping could be heard from the window. Orochimaru turned and noticed a ROOT member throwing pebbles to get his attention. A cold smile shown on his face.
"Let the ROOT nin in and tell Danzo his message has arrived. Kukukuku, its a great day." Orochimaru cackled. Danzo was shown into the room as his ROOT nin entered as well.
"Report! Did the attack go as planned?" Danzo barked. The ROOT nin spoke.
"All lost, all dead. Their bodies sealed in here. Lord Danzo, none survive." The ROOT nin said. Danzo and Orochimaru fumed.
"SHOW ME!" Danzo shouted. The nin opened the Sound nin scrolls first. Danzo puked. Tanuya was nothing more than dried out flesh over bone, her mouth forever in a silent scream. Kidomaru was hardly a corpse, and Jirobo was a mass of gunk.
"HOW!" Orochimaru screamed. The nin shook his head.
"I was the last to report because of my tardiness, Fu made me stay as messager. All ROOT were slaughtered by senbons. Their bodies have pricked marks but whoever did this took the senbon with them."
"Get out! Danzo, I want this dealt with! Who has the power to kill such as mine nins!" Orochimaru yelled. Danzo was shaking.
"Only one name, The Bloody Hellion."Danzo said in fear. Orochimaru whirled around.
"That name is a legend! A myth!" Orochimaru said. Danzo gave Orochimaru a cold stare.
"That display a few days ago was no myth. The bloody hellion exists. Iwa has him in their bingo books as flee on site, kill on sight, a SSSS rank. A bounty over 900 billion ryos leading to the death of this myth. He along with the Morta Nera slaughtered the entire shinobi force that Ookni sent within two minutes. Iwa hasn't recovered. They still fear that name. So, how do you kill a myth?" Danzo said. Oeochimaru hissed.
"Find out who this bloody hellion is! Place a 100 million bounty on his head!"
Orochimaru yelled. Danzo nodded.
"We may could use this to ally with Iwa and Kumo. Their enemy is our enemy. Shall I send nins to ask for an alliance?" Danzo hissed back. Orochimaru smiled.
"Yes, send them out. We will crush this fool for messing with Konoha!" Orochimaru hissed. Soon, two small groups of nins were headed to Iwa and Kumo. Neither team would make back. A shadow moved in the forest faster than the eye. Team Iwa had left first so they were ahead of the Kumo team by an hour. The Jonin leader was running in front of the two chunins. The shadow pulled up in front of them stoping they progress. The Jonin spoke.
"Move aside. We have a mission to finish." He said. The others were waiting for the leader to attack.
"My, my, my, what a way to greet someone. Very rude, I must say. The proper term is good day. However, you look like the mud that I scraped off of my boot. And your friends, well, one just relieved himself. I have even begun to battle and yet my intent is weakening you. Tsch, Pathetic nins. Shall we dance?" the man said. The jonin launched at the man, intending to end the fight quickly. Said man stood still and waited until the nin got close enough.
"You are in my trap now. Razor wire can be very useful, I must say. However, you are scum. Goodbye." Tge man said as he snapped the wire. The jonin only had seconds to comphend his end before falling to pieces. The chunin were to scared to move so finishing them off was easy. Two snaps of razor wire and two heads hit the dirt.
"Weaklings. I must join the others but first I think I'll take this along. Might find it useful." The man said picking up the head of the jonin. He then began walking towards the other group.
A short distance away, the Kumo team was stopped. Even the jonin leader was scared. A man in a long coat stood in front of him. The aura this man gave off was terrifying. The jonin finally spoke.
"Move aside. W-we have a mission to complete."
"No. You are citing war against an ally. We have been sent to stop you. I personally do not want to kill you but if you insist..well you'll die." The man said. The jonin frowned.
"We are dead either way. Our families will die if we don't complete this mission. If I could, I would flee." The jonin lied. The man laughed.
"You lie. You have no families. Now, die like a warrior or like a worm. It matters not to me." The man said pulling two ling narrow blades from his belt. The team attacked with justu first.
Katon: Great fireball
Suiton: Waterfall
Doton: Earthquake. The three calked out at once. The man laughed s the attacks began.
"Yessss, this is going to be fun. Now I can really cut loose!" The man said casting his coat aside. Long tattoos ran the length of his arms. The markings were in a form none of the nins had seen before. Suddenly, they began to glow.
"Rune art: Full counter-Reflect" The man called out. The nins were stopped by their own power, only the jonin was aluve as the other two were destoryed on impact. He weakly spoke.
"What are you? We have never seen such as this. Lord Danzo...must...know." The jonin said. The man smiled.
"Oh, he will. In time, when he devides to end his own life. As to your first questions, we are what nightmares are made of. We are apart of a group selected by the Lord of Nightmares himself to protect the innocent. Knowing my name matters not to you. I will kow tell you as you are vermin. Now I must retirn to my master, ah, my friend is here. Say hello. And Goodbye." the man said as he stabbed the man with his jittes. The other man shook his head.
"Tsk, such weaklings. Well, we shall have to destory the bodies. I kept one head for show. You want his?"
"No, he was a fool. The spirits will deal with him accordingly. I hate having to take on a disguise like this, but it was in the best interest. Besides, it will keep them guessing. Lets return to our master and report." With that statement the two men vanished, nothing but a bloody smear left of the nins of Konoha.
