bChapter 8/b It stung. A figure flew past me. Drip, drip, drip. The blood hit the ground. His speed was incredibly fast. By the time my arm started to bleed, he had already zoomed past everyone. More blood. I could see him, but I couldn't do anything about it.

His figure was extremely disfigured. He had no headband. His clothing was badly torn, but he was covered. He had little hair and little teeth; his eyes wide like crazy.

His motions slowed down when he zoomed past Kina and Tyde. He wasn't using his hand at all. He held a double sided kunai in his mouth. He stopped. Standing in front of us, arms hanging at his side, he glared at us. There was no white in his eyes; all red. Blood red.

With a jolt of his arm, he quickly took a fresh, new kunai out of his pouch and swung it at Kina. Caught off guard, she lost her balance and fell over. The maniac smirked and almost in an instant, he was on top of Kina. He dragged his tongue up her heck. She was helpless in her position, but luckily Tyde acted quickly and gave the maniac a swift kick in the side, but Tyde wasn't fast enough. The maniac returned to his position in front of me, snickering. Tyde helped Kina up as she started to cry.

Face off.

He served left, I went right. His shoulders vibrated as if he were chuckling with his demonic grin. What the hell is he up to and what does he want with us? I watched as he performed a series of seals, but I kept my eyes on his seals. Monkey... Dragon... Horse... Pig... Tiger...? What kind of ninja is he?

"Sasuke! Watch out!" Tyde's voice called out as a stream of fire shot at me. "You can't fight him like this!" The fired continued to destroy everything it touched as I kept on dodging. The fire shot out from his finger tips, not like the grand fireball technique where you puff out the fire.

"Listen to Tyde!" Kina screamed. In her hands, lay a headband of the mist country. It was brutally scratched and marked. "He's the missing nin that's been hunted for 5 years. His nickname is Youkai. You're no match for him! Let me fight!" She started performing a series of seals as I finished mine.

"Firetype: Grand Fireball!" My fingers pointed like a gun, I brought them up to my lips. I huffed over them creating a large burst of fire right at Youkai.

"BOO! AHAHAHA!" His face appeared through the fire. I fell back landing hard on the ground. Just then, a water ball flew directly into Youkai's side. No longer laughing, his screams echoed throughout the whole forest. He pulled at what was left of his hair.

Kina walked up to him and started rubbing his back to ease his struggle. "Youkai wasn't a missing nin bye will, but he still can't go back. When he goes crazy, you have to hit him with water, not fire. Then he'll become sane again. I've meet him a couple times on my walks outside the village. He told me everything. He started to go made when his wife and children were killed seven years ago. He went insane one day and was determined to get revenge on whoever killed his family. He scratched his hitai up and ran out to find that the ninja was already killed."

Youkai coughed up blood then started to whimper. His face no loner had a crazy grin, but rather an apologetic face with tears.

"Kina, he coughed out. "Help me..."

Then he fell over and passed out.
