Chapter 12: Enter Miko
The three Genins led by Naruto continued to keep up a quick pace to reach the Wave Country as quick as possible. Naruto was obviously holding back speed but it was extremely hard for the other three to keep up. Naruto knew if he didn't keep up his pace that they wouldn't reach the wave country before dark. He didn't bother with stealth. He never had, it was always I come out in the open and wait for you to fight me. Naruto's logic had never failed him. Everyone always underestimated him and fought him out in the open. This time it was going to be a little different.
They arrived within an hour and the three students were exhausted. Naruto hadn't even broken into his second wind yet. He felt as if he could do this all day and night. It was only a little harder than walking to him. When they arrived nothing seemed out of order except for the lack of people. The area was a ghost town no one was outside.
"I don't like this" Shiro said "Its way to quiet"
"I agree" Kai said "Stay on your guard."
"Stay on your guard" A voice mocked from behind them. Shiro froze and Kai turned as quickly as possible. Kai turned around to see a boy about thirty feet away. He was five feet tall with short blond hair. He also had a big smirk and a kendo stick at his side. This boy was wearing all blue with his own head band but instead of a Country symbol there was the Kanji 'Renegade' on it. This boy looked about thirteen years old if not a little younger. Anna was feeling a strange aura from him. "My Name is Bekken Miko. One of the three Renegade" The Boy said "And unless I am mistaken you are Naruto. With his three students. Shiro, Kai, and Anna."
"Okay so you did your homework big deal" Shiro said "you wanna duke it out right now?"
"One-on one? Sounds like fun" Miko said "Let's get this Party started"
Shiro charged first and aimed a high kick at Miko's head. Miko ducks it and quickly punches Shiro in the gut. Shiro takes a few steps back and throws his shuriken at Miko. Miko dodges the shuriken with ease. 'He's fast' Shiro thought 'probably faster than Kai'. Shiro put his hands together and made created a seal. "Bunshiinn No Jutsu" Shiro shouted and three copies appeared. Miko smiled and created several seals of his own. Shiro managed to catch two out of three of them. The horse and the tiger. The last seal he had never seen before. A blue light appeared in Miko's hand and then he placed his hand on his kendo stick. "RAIKOU TOUSHIN NO JUTSU" Miko shouted. Suddenly Miko's Kendo stick was bursting with chakra.
'Unbelievable' Naruto thought 'such an advanced Jutsu for such a young kid'. Shiro was shocked. 'Okay plan B my number one technique is in order and some long range assault'. Shiro leaped back and did his seals. 'Focus! Crane! Ox! Horse!' Shiro thought as he did each seal and then he unlocked it. "KAIJU GUFUU NO JUTSU" Shiro shouted. Shiro planed to use his Kaiju Gufuu on Miko. Slowly bits and pieces of rock began to float as the wind around them began to pick up. Shiro's braid began flying all over the place. Despite Miko's short hair it was sticking straight upwards. Miko was also smiling. "Wipe that grin off your face Miko" Shiro said "Your about to see the full extent of my power!"
"I hope that you're wrong" Miko said "But hey lets have some fun"
The Kaiju Gufuu was aimed at Miko. Miko waited for the right moment. Miko lifted his kendo and struck out his kendo. "LIGHTING STRIKE!" Miko shouted and a blue lighting bolt hit the Kaiju Gufuu. The Kaiju Gufuu was knocked out of place. The Kaiju Gufuu fell apart. The rocks all fell in front of Miko. Shiro was shocked. Miko was smiling.
"Shiro is that your best shot" Miko said "'cause if it is then I must say I am heavily disappointed" Miko held his kendo stick in an attack formation. "Shinidoki" Miko said. Miko ran at Shiro and hit him hard in the chest. Shiro fell over and began to spit out blood. "Goodbye!" Miko raised his Kendo over his head. Then Miko hit the far wall due to a kick from behind. Kai was standing over Shiro checking to see that he was okay. "Alright that's it Miko you're going down" Kai said.
"Whatever unless your faster than your boy Shiro your screwed" Miko said "So lets do this."
Kai didn't wait for anything else he just charged as quickly as possible. Kai kicked Miko in the gut hard. 'Okay so maybe he is faster than Shiro' Miko thought 'but he wont stop me'. Miko attacked Kai with several punches and kicks all of which Kai dodged. Then Kai grabbed Miko's wrist and tossed him over his shoulder slamming him down hard. Then without letting go Kai twisted Miko's arm in the wrong direction and filling it with chakra at the same time. Basically Kai was crushing Miko's muscles. Until Kai was knocked off of Miko. Kai was on the defensive as someone was attacking him. No one could tell anything about him except that he was wearing a lot of red. Kai was managing to block most of his attacks. Naruto noticed a third ninja who also had the kanji 'Renegade' written on the headband. She was wearing all green. She wasn't very tall ether. She was currently leaning over Miko making sure he was alright. She had blond hair and green eyes. 'That must be Zinc Kiya' Anna thought 'better take her on'.
Kai finally managed to knock the figure back a few steps. The final figure was a guy dressed in all red with a yellow headband which had the Kanji 'Renegade' written on it as well. This last guy was Toyo Rama. He was very big. Not just tall but wide as well. He had short brown hair and a small brown braid on his right side. He also had a long spear strapped to his back with a foot long spear head at the end. Kai knew he couldn't beat this guy with brute strength he knew he had to use his speed. Kai launched another assault on Rama.
'Where is the master mind behind all of this' Naruto thought 'these three didn't come up with this idea someone is defiantly pulling the strings and I'd like to meet the puppet master'. Naruto decided it was best to leave his students as they were and find the one controlling the three 'Renegades'.
Meanwhile
Jin had arrived home and he collapsed on the couch. He noticed a note on the table. Jin read it over and grinned. 'so they have a new mission in the wave country do they' Jin thought 'this is my chance to have a little fun I need to go check it out'. Jin decided that he would go to the wave country as well. Good because they needed all the help they could get at this point.
Meanwhile Miyuki was trying to make dinner but she kept thinking about Jin and their month that they had spent together. Ever since he had gotten back from his trip they had spent most of their time together. It began to make Miyuki wonder about why she was doing this again. 'Do I love him?' Miyuki thought 'No I can't love him. He's not my lover. He's my target my mission.' suddenly a dark figure had just come in through her window. Miyuki turned around and grabbed a kunai she hid in her belt. Only to see that it was Shino.
"Well, well, well Ms. Hatake how are you doing?" Shino mocked
"I thought I told you not to call me by that name" Miyuki said "No one needs to know who my father is. As long as I am here my last name is Momentaru ok?"
"Whatever" Shino said "so have you been doing your job lately?"
"Of course I have it's what I get paid for" Miyuki responded. "I assure you that one way or another Tykiei Jin will not fight much longer"
"Well I hope so" Shino said "Because I long for the day that his throat is cut"
"That wasn't apart of the deal" Miyuki said "As long as he stops fighting was the deal"
"It doesn't matter how he stops fighting as long as he stops fighting am I correct?" Shino said "So does it however you like just remember that this boy is not your friend"
"I know"
"Hold on a second, you haven't developed feelings for him have you?" Shino asked Miyuki didn't respond but she didn't have to "Ha ha this is funny the 'Ice-Queen' has a soft spot. You're supposed to be our cold blooded killer. It doesn't matter just get the job done"
Shino left Miyuki to think about everything 'I can't love him' Miyuki thought 'I just cant I don't have feelings for anyone'
Meanwhile
Shiro had been out for most of the fight and unable to do anything. The last attack had broken his ribs severely. The only thing Shiro could do was watch as Miko had regained composure and was helping Rama double team Kai. Anna wasn't doing too much better her and Kiya were locked in battle. They continued to use their Kunais hoping that one of them would make a mistake. Shiro tried to stand but the pain was overwhelming.
Kai was not doing well at all. He was getting pounded on by Rama and Miko. They were giving him a royal ass-kicking. Kai blocked Miko's attack only to get hit by Rama. Kai leapt back several feet then leaped foreword both of his hands filled with chakra. Both hands connected with the Renegade-nin's mid-sections. Both Rama and Miko flipped while Kai tried to regain his composure. Rama was the first to rise again but Kai was right next to him. He had already planned what he was going to do. Kai filled his hands with chakra until they glowed red. Then Kai rammed his chakra filled fists into Rama's armpits. Then with the force he lifted Rama back and continued this motion until Rama slammed on the ground behind him. The Red Fists of Razor Air was a success and Rama was temporarily paralyzed. The problem was Miko wasn't. Even though Kai's Taijutsu was a success he was now drained of his energy. And Miko wasn't winded at all.
"Alright Kai your in trouble now" Miko said and took his kendo back out. Without saying anything or recreating any signs Miko charged his kendo stick with chakra again and blue lightning crackled around it once again.
"How can you do that?" Kai asked
"Simple" Miko said "once I charge it with chakra I won't have to do it again because the chakra stays there"
"Ah neat trick" Kai said "Here's mine" Suddenly Kai's hands were getting filled with chakra again. He was going for the Tiger Claw again. He knew it was dangerous but it was his only chance. He threw the first punch with his left but Miko blocked by using his own kendo. Kai's fist met the kendo and chakra sparked everywhere. Finally all of the chakra ran out of Kai's left hand. But Miko was now off-guard and Kai hit Miko with his other hand hard in the chest sending him flying. But Miko recovered rather quickly. "How did you stop that?" Kai asked "Simple I used my own chakra to block it" Miko said now let's continue shall we?" Miko said and charged again.
Meanwhile
Naruto went out to meet this mysterious chakra that seemed strangely familiar. He suddenly found the source. "It's you!" Naruto said
