Chapter 2

Utsusemi left for the Shainto temple a squad of 5 ninja warriors with him, they were to head through the rice fields, head to the old meikyokan monastery, cut through the abandoned train station, and then they would be at the Shainto temple. The six of them headed off to the rice fields, their feet squelching in the mud. The rice fields were a gradual slope upwards which they were walking. When they got to the top a tall black man with and afro, wearing an open purple jacket revealing his bare torso, purple bell bottoms, aviator glasses, and a Scorpio medallion was barring the entrance. This guy looked like something out of Saturday night fever.

"let us through." Utsusemi said with a tone of amusement in his voice

"you ain't goin' nowhere pal." the man shot back

A ninja growing impatient drew his katana and charged at him, he was about to strike when the curious looking man spun around and dodged him in what looked like something out of a 70's dance floor. When the man stopped his back was facing the group, a bloody long sword sat in his right hand, and the ninja fell. The other thing was that on the back of his jacket was the Shainto symbol of a snake wrapped around a staff.

"stay back," Utsusemi yelled as he drew his nodachi, "ill deal with this one."

"Tony's the name and killin' you will be my game," replied the man.

Utsusemi advanced forward and Tony started circling around him. Utsusemi stood still, Tony jumped in and tried to do an over head slash with his longsword, Utsusemi's weapon was too slow to block his quick attacks so he had to dodge it. Utsusemi went to slash at his side when he landed but Tony quickly blocked his sword. Utsusemi started swooping at him and he blocked all of his attacks. Tony stepped back out his range and made a leap in to swipe at him, Utsusemi dodged his attack but barely this time. This time Tony did an overhead smash Utsusemi blocked it and sparks flew all around him, his nodachi was forced down and his arms with it, he saw his chance, Tony was going in for a second attack. Tony raised his sword again for a second smash, Utsusemi braced himself, Tony attacks. Utsusemi jumped past him completely dodging the attack with his sword trailing behind him, when in midair he executed a large slash right to Tony's stomach. Tony flew back from the force of the slash and was dead before he hit the ground. A large gash was formed on his stomach. Utsusemi sheathed his nodachi and walked on.
