Looking at my wife while I growled," Alright two things, no I will not teach you sun breathing. It will strain your body! The second you haven't mastered your current breathing yet. End of discussion."

She wanted to say something else but the moment I flared my chakra she shut up. Taking a long deep breath I held her hand," Saya I love you with all my heart. But Sun Breathing is the strongest breathing style. I don't want you to force your body in over drive. Perhaps one day I will teach you but right now we need to focus on the battle."

She nodded and understanding as she finished putting on her chunin vest," If I may Keiji what would happen if my body went into over drive?"

"Your lungs would explode, at least according to my sensei, the one who taught me flame breathing."

"You had a sensei and I never knew?!"

"Yeah, I do keep some secrets, perhaps during our next break I will introduce you to him. Shall we go get Seitaro?"

She nodded in agreement," Yes. Wait are you bringing both your swords?!"

Nodding in confirmation," If we run into the elites I need to use both blades. Darrin, Silvern even if I summon the giant lap dog in the backyard we may not win."

Ancient stuck his head in through the back door," Whose a giant lap dog?"

"You."

He bobbed his giant head," Just checking. When are we leaving?"

"Now."

"Fuck, I wanted to sleep longer."

"Go ahead you overgrown lizard, I will summon you if I need to."

His head left the window while he laid back down outside and I muttered," Lazy ass overgrown reptile."

Saya chuckled," Cut him a break."

"Hmmm, fine for now assuming we live through this next battle."

She shrugged," Fair enough, but we will leave now."


A knock sounded by the window while Seitaro rose a brow with a smirk," You guys are taking forever."

"Shut up Seitaro Hatake."

He disappeared in a lightning shunshin while I snorted following suit with Saya appearing on the gate while the rest of our team moments after us while I jumped down. Mother looked at me and nodded," Good all of us are here."

Ko snorted," We don't have a choice to be, what is the mission?"

Mother responded," Go to the front lines and hold back the enemy."

I crossed my arms," So a typical mission."

Yuma-sensei chuckled," We are the strongest team in the village. Three skilled kenjutsu users two of them are low A ranked and Keiji is ranked as a hashira whatever that means. There are 2 low A ranked shinobi 2 High A ranked, 1 S rank, and last is 1 SS rank."

Shaking my head," That means nothing when fighting against demon elites 1 and 2. Let's go I have a bad feeling about this mission."


All of us raced towards the battlefield, and as we grew closer, my senses were warning me of danger looking out of the corner of my eyes I noticed everyone else looking nervous as well. A blur of silver caught the corner of my eye and I activated my sharingan, Silvern was running beside us, I growled," Keep going."

Skidding to a stop while Silvern also stopped, a silver weapon, a fan came flying at me, with impossible speeds. Blocking the fan while I disappeared, moving into the trees. Silvern's voice came by a tree," Hello Keiji Namikaze."

"Silvern it's been a few months."

She nodded was Darrins voice came from behind me," So we are following through with capturing him."

"Yes, you may do anything short of killing him."

A terrifying presence made itself known, I glanced to my right when I noticed a white haired woman, 5'8" in height and a perfect figure. I knew at once who this was, Kokyu Kibutsuji the leader of the demons and the strongest one of all.

She smirked," A pleasure to finally meet you Keiji Namikaze."

"I can't say the same. Kokyu Kibutsuji."

She smirked," Oh don't worry, I am not interfering with this battle. You are not a match for me quite yet."

I growled," Three things, I have more than one escape method, if I had to guess you told Silvern and Darrin to go full power. I can see their power growing exponentially right now with my eyes. How stupid do you think I am to challenge them?"


With that said I disappeared in a flash of light appearing beside my brother crouched," Fuck no."

My brother questioned," What happened?"

"Ran into Upper Elites, Silvern, Darrin, and worst of all, Kokyu Kibutsuji."

My mother yelled," And you didn't fight them?!"

"Are you fucking insane mother! They were about to go full power! Fuck you I am returning to the village, if you want to fight them go ahead!"

Stopping and turning around while Saya and Seitaro yelled," Keiji don't go!"

"Blame my mother, I am not fighting any of them, I know the power those three possess. I will lose, also they want to capture me I should have you know."

My brother grabbed my shoulder," Little brother hold up, Mother apologize he has a point, we know nothing of the power those three possess, all we have seen are the injuries he sustained in the fights against Darrin."

She glared at me harshly ignoring Ko," We have a duty, Keiji, a duty to protect the village from threats such as these."

Chakra exploded from me," Fine, have it your way, I am deeming this mission too dangerous. You are turning into how Airi and father was, so much for being different!"

Flipping her off, which did hurt me slightly inside but I crushed it immediately, my eye widened in fear when I looked in front of me, Silvern stood there with both fans out, while her power poured out of her in waves, the ground was cracking and rising into the air with a light purple aura coming from her body. Another eruption of power to my right caused me to look and Darrin had a red aura, with power about half as powerful as Silvern's but the ground was doing the same thing. Both their eyes were doing the same thing. A third powerful aura slightly weaker than Darrin's exploded from behind, spinning around I noticed a girl around Yuma-sensei's height, with light blue hair wearing a Chinese style dress, and lightning flickering from her body, in her eyes was the symbol for 3. The ground was cracking still.

Gulping in fear, as I whispered," Upper Elite...three."

I tensed, while Saya gently grabbed my hand," What do we do? Keiji?"

"We run, if we can."

The voice of kokyu from above stated," You won't be able to escape Keiji Namikaze, if you surrender peacefully no one will get hurt, or worse killed."

My mother growled, it was clear her Uchiha pride and thirst for battle was flowing rapidly.

Appearing beside her in a shunshin I chopped her on the neck and catching her," Ko, Yuma-sensei go. Saya stay with me, Seitaro get going."

Glancing at him and giving him a signal while he left in a shunshin as I heard my wife collapse unconscious, catching her I gave her a kiss softly on the forehead.

Seitaro whispered," Good luck Keiji, don't die."

"As I said before they want to capture me they won't kill me. But I will make it living hell for them."

He smirked," Good Taicho."

"I am not a dog jackass, get going, punch Hokage-sama in the balls and bitch slap my mother for me, they both deserve it. Tell them its from me, also be good for my sister you asshole."

He blushed furiously as he stuttered," Y-Yo-"

"Yes I know. Now get going."

He left in a lightning shunshin, smiling sadly at the outcome.


All three elites closed in a triangle formation.

My sharingan morphed into its Mangekyō a beautiful flower shape. Eyes spinning rapidly, while my demon slayer mark covered my neck and upper shoulders. I snarled," Well demons I won't let you capture me without a fight!"

Moving with increased speed I blocked Darrin's blow barely, the third elite appeared with a knife, smirking,' Kamui!'

Becoming intangible while her knife went through my body and cutting Darrin in the chest while he growled in annoyance," Watch it Nya!"

"You saw what he did! That isn't my fault," Nya responded with a sigh.

Becoming Tangible I kicked Nya in the chin and Darrin in the stomach with a quick pivot. Ducking under two fans while Silvern engaged with her two combat fans, I was barely able to dodge or block them, until one got through my guard and ripped into my side in a spray of blood. Wincing in pain while I felt a slash on my back while I glanced back when a powerful kick in my spine sent me into the air, I could my spine snap while I let out a yell of pain. Falling onto the ground I landed on my feet, I could feel one of my bones break, but I ignored the blows, except when I tried to move I merely fell onto my knees.

Nya gently walked over crouching down," You lost Keiji Namikaze."

I felt an electric shock rip through me and blacked out immediately
