Konoha
Orochimaru sat on his throne-which was onky the Hokage's chair behind the desk. The Sand village was all to eager to rid themselves of Gaara and his family. Now, they could be the best. Orochimaru turned power over to one of his loyalists in Sand. Danzo had wanted the seat but he was needed here. A nin entered the room. He waited until Orochimaru spoke.
"Speak." Orochimaru hissed. The nin spoke quickly.
"Milord, it has cone to attention of the Damiyo that you have received the list of attendees for the summit in two days time. Have you made any decision as to your own attendees? These are the words of the Damiyo." The nin stated. Orochimaru grinned. He motioned for on of his guards to bring Danzo and the elders of the council. Within minutes, Dazno, Ukatane, and Hormura were present.
"The Damiyo is awaiting our answer as to who our attendwill be. I give it now. There will be no summit. Once the attendees for this so called nation appears, tgey will be arrested for aiding missing nins. Everything they have will be ours and we will be emperor. That is our ruling." Orochimaru hissed out. Danzo and the elders nodded. The nin nodded.
"I shall relay your message to the Damiyo." The nin said exiting the room. ROOT escorted him to the gate. The nin walked to the forest then jumped into the trees but instead of running, the nin paused. Good thing Lady Rania sent me, tge nin thought. ROOT appeared.
"Why have you not left yet, nin? Are you plotting an attack?" The captain said. The nin responded.
"No, the colors of nature are always stunning I just have to take a look. It is amazibg how this beauty can turn deadly." The nin replied. The captain grunted.
"Be off with you. Enjoy the view elsewhere." ROOT said. The nin turned and jumped away, knowing that the ROOT Anbu would follow. Once safely away from sensors of battle, the nin hopped down to meet with his unit. A young man dressed in a kimono holding a sword, a little girl with white hair, and a boy whose eyes were covered. The nin spoke.
"Seven have followed. Are we to target them or let them attack us, Kenshin?" The nin said. Kenshin looked up.
"This one was told only to protect and defend if attacked. They attack first we defend." Kenshin replied softly. He wore a purple colored kimono with white pants. The girl with white hair spoke.
"Do you want Luca and me to fight or stay?" The girl asked.
"Defend yourself, Lyra, where is your pup?" Kenshin asked. Naki looked around only to see a little black spot to her left. Her gelert pup, Aeron, was looking at the trees. Lyra smiled. Llyrn's pup, Soilel, was looking to. Soon, seven ROOT dropped down.
"Our leader Danzo wishes for you to come with us. No excuses." the ROOT
nin said. Kenshin stood up.
"This one thinks that you are not good people. This one will not go." Kenshin stated. ROOT nin looked at them.
"Does that go for all of you? You agree not to go willingly?"
"Our leader has spoken. We will return home. Good day." the nin said. The ROOT nin attacked. They surrounded the small group.
"I'll take the blind kid. Then I'll help you." one said looking at Luca. Luca shrugged, Soliel at his side. One looked at Lyra.
"I got white hair girlie." A female said. The other five split up. Two went to the nin and three went to Kenshin. Kenshin sighed.
"This one warns you. You will die." Kenshin said. The Root nins charged. Kenshin, using his sheath, slammed into the Root nins. They hadn't been expecting at attack like that so they fell down. One pulled a kunai and launched it at Kenshin. Kenshin deflected it with his sword, spinning it harmlessly into a tree. The other two began to mive their hands into justus, only to find bloody stumps where their hands use to be. Shocked, they tried attacking with their feet only to be cut in half before their could even launch into the air. The ROOT captain stood in front of Kenshin now.
"As long as I stay away from your sword, you can harm me. Katon:Great fireball...gurck!." The captain started but was cut short when another sword cut his head from his shoulders. Kenshin smiled. The newcomer shook his head.
"You still have a lot to learn, baka deshi." the huge man said.
"This one is glad shisou came." Kenshin said. Meanwhile, the ROOT nins were getting slaughtered. The one who faced Luca had not taken the dog into account. He had used his knowledge on the Inuzuka clan to fight the boy. He immediately targeted the boy, thinking that the puppy would attack first. Once he was in striking distance of the boy, he lashed out with a kunai only to be met with a curved sword of sorts. The nin tried to push the boy backwards and off his feet only to be met with force equal to his own. The nin growled in fury.
"I will not be bested by a blind brat! Die Suiton: Water Dragon!!!" The nin cried out. A huge water dragon came crashing down towards Luca. Luca spoke.
"Soliel, it is time to end this, yes? Mirror attack 4." Luca cried out. As he did so, Soliels fur glowed as bright as the sun, forming a mirror. The dragon hit only to be sent back 4x as powerful to the ROOT nin. The nin screamed as the water hit him with the force of a tsunami. Once the water cleared, the nin's crushed and mangled corpse ignited. Luca turned to help Lyra but it was not needed. Lyra's attacker had charged in head first, intent on killing her with one blow. Lyra smiled as she ducked under the nin a gave her an uppercut. The female Root flew about six feet before sliding into a tree. Lyra looked at Aeron. Without speaking, Aeron and Lyra attacked as one killing the nin before she could even move into a defensive stance. She walked over to where her brother was. The mystery nin attacked tge ROOT nins first. They moved in a blur of hands and feet. Hits were landed. The mystery nin decided to end the fight. Without warning, he pulled back his hood to reveal his face and eyes. The ROOT nin were stunned.
"You..." was their last words as his ran them through with a tanto. The nin then covered his face and turned to the group.
"This one thinks a quick departure is in order. Shall we?" Kenshun said as all gathered around the nin. The nin merely smiled at shishuned them away, leaving burning bodies for the secodary team to find moments later. Leader is going be mad was the thought on the sevond ROOT team as they returned to Konoha empty handed. None wanted to face his wrath since the appearance of these new warriors. The leader of the second team knelt in front of Danzo.
"All dead, leader. What are your orders?" the nin asked. Danzo was filled with rage. What kind if fighters can kill my ROOT?! I will have them under my control. Danzo thought.
"Keep me informed of any nin coming to Konoha. Recover the bodies." Danzo said. The nin spoke again.
"The suicide justu activated. The bodies are ash. Do you want us the recover the ashes?"
"No. Return to your posts." Danzo growled and the nins left quickly. I will rule over these nations! And set my master free of the cage that he has been put in. Copus will not be stopped and will not rest until all the world is covered in darkness and fear!!!!! Long live Moran! Danzo thought going to his home to sleep and dream of his master.
In the forests to the south
Kenshin, Luca, Lyra, Hiko, and the mystery nin were making time to reach their destination. Quickly, they saw a small silver ship awaiting them.
"This one thinks that these nins are insane. We need to inform our friends of our discovery." Kenshin said. Hiko nodded.
"We need to make time. What would you have done if you had been discovered by ROOT?" Hiko asked the nin. The nin replied.
"I would have killed anyone who found out. I will not follow a village that banishes innocent nins." The nin replied. Hiko nodded.
"When are you going to show yourself to the others? Lady Rania said it was your choice." Hiko asked. The nin shook his head.
"I will when I think they can handle it, Hiko. I am scared that I will be scorned for the choices I had to make but I had no other choice." The nin replied. Hiko looked at the nin, now that they were on board the ship. The nin was leaning against the railing, looking towards tge south.
Will you blame me, hate me? How can I face you after what happened? How can you trust me again? Perhaps, time heals all wounds but what will you do when one is reopened? I can only pray that you can forgive me for deceiving you and maybe we can be close once again. The nin thought looking southward, readying for a meeting that was coming and hoping that the choice made was right.
