Episode 40: The Death
Yosuke was sprinting through the forest, away from Kenpachi going full power.
The Ino-Shika-Cho Formation was chasing him, and Tatsuzo was close behind them.
"Stop running!" Ordered Shikamaru.
Yosuke stopped. He spun around and faced his foes.
Shikamaru made a hand sign, and shadows shot at him.
A long time ago, Yosuke was walking to his Village. He led a peaceful life. He was not a ninja, he was just a man. He woke up, rolled out of bed like he always did, and he went on his morning jog- as he always did.
As he went on his daily jog, he came across a man who was wearing all black, and he had a pair of sunglasses on. He pulled out a knife.
"Give me your wallet." He said.
Yosuke took a step backwards, and the man charged at him.
Not sure what to do, Yosuke tackled the man, trying to take the knife. The two rolled around on the ground, trying to take the weapon.
Yosuke sank his teeth into his foe's shoulder, and then with this he took the advantage by taking the knife. He took the knife, and he stabbed the man right in the chest.
Yosuke pushed the man off of him. He killed him. He ended a human being's life. He vomited all over the ground. Soon, several ninja showed up. Yosuke feed from them. They continued to go after him. Yosuke had to defend himself. So he started to make himself strong. He didn't know how to hold back, and he really didn't need to.
He could kill people with one attack. He needed to defend himself. So it was okay. It was okay that he killed people to protect himself. If he didn't, than he'd die himself.
Eventually, the Akatsuki caught wind of him. And they sent some of their men to him.
"Hey," Hidan growled. "We want you to join the Akatsuki."
"The what?" Asked Yosuke.
"The Akatsuki." Kakuzu answered. It's a criminal organization. Join, or die."
Yosuke felt threatened by them, so he ran over to Kakuzu, and punched him hard in the chest.
His fist easily cleared a hole in Kakuzu's chest.
"Damn." Kakuzu growled, and then he grabbed Yosuke's arm. He then yanked it from his chest, and hurled him against a wall. Kakuzu grabbed Yosuke by the hair, and smashed him into the ground. He stomped on his chest, and threw him into a tree.
Hidan drew his scythe, and hit Yosuke across the face with the dull end. Yosuke punched at Hidan, who tanked it, and then slashed Yosuke across the arm.
Yosuke joined the Akatsuki, and any time he did something someone, normally Kakuzu or Hidan, would attack him if he did something they didn't think was correct.
Yosuke didn't want to kill any more people.
After quite some time, the group battled against Kenpachi, Tatsuzo, Rinji, and Team Asuma. Yosuke knew that if he didn't do something, then he would get punished. So he attacked Asuma, not meaning to kill him. But he couldn't hold back. So he had to kill him.
Now, Yosuke was dodging the attacks of the Ino-Shika-Cho Formation, not attacking them.
"What the hell are you doing?" Shikamaru growled. "You aren't taking us seriously!"
"What makes you think that?" Yosuke asked, then thought, Is this how it ends? Do I get killed by children? If so... I deserve it. After everything that I've done, I deserve what's coming for me.
"You haven't thrown a single punch sense you got here!" Shikamaru roared. "Why the hell did you kill our sensei if you aren't going to even attack us?"
"Well..." Yosuke took a deep breath. "I'd rather not kill people if I can help it. So if you could end my suffering, that'd be great. I won't resist you. We're far enough away from everything else so they won't interfere."
"Wh- what?" Choji asked.
"It must be a trap." Ino drew a kunai.
"It is no trap. Just kill me already."
"Explain to us. Why did you kill our Sensei?"
"I didn't want to join this organization. I was forced into it. I never knew how to hold back. If I did something unfit for an Akatsuki, then I'd get attacked. Anytime I battled anyone, I would kill them with one attack. I tried to seriously injure instead of killing, but it never ended up working for me. They all ended up dead. I killed your Sensei because I was afraid of getting punished. I don't think that you'd understand."
No one moved.
"If you aren't going to attack, than I will!"
Yosuke charged at them.
None of the Ino-Shika-Cho Formation could even react.
Luckly for them, Yosuke wasn't after them. He was punching at Tatsuzo. Tatsuzo blocked his attack with his forearm, and then kicked him across the face and forced him backwards.
Yosuke smiled. "Finally... someone strong enough to where I don't kill them with one strike... I didn't want to kill you... but they won't kill me unless I provoke them somehow..."
Tatsuzo kicked him in the face, and then Ino hurled her kunai, stabbing the blade into Yosuke's chest.
Medical personnel appeared. None of them had injuries, aside from Tatsuzo who had a broken arm from when Yosuke hit him. They medics then took Yosuke's body.
There was a group of people inside a large cave. All of them were wearing black cloaks with red clouds on it.
"It would seem that two of our rings are in the Leaf Village." Said a somewhat deep voice. The voice belonged to an orange haired man with purple eyes. "Both Hidan and Kakuzu are dead. Both of their Takdesu are dead as well."
"The Immortal Combo is not as easily replaced as the Takdesu, though." Said a grey skinned man with scales, and he had a strange sword at his back with white wraps around it.
"Our first priority is to get those rings. Barragan. I'm going to send you and Kaname."
An old man looked over. He didn't say anything. He dressed like the rest of the Akatsuki, but he didn't wear a headband.
A man of African decent looked up. He had a band like visor covering his eyes. he had long dark brown hair, that he had in braids. He wore the standard Akatsuki cloak, but he had an orange scarf around his neck. On the back of his band like-visor, there was the symbol of the Leaf, crossed out.
"Come on, send Itachi and I. We haven't got to do anything in a long time!" Complained the swordsman.
The orange haired man glared at him. "Enough complaining. I'm sending them because Barragan lost Sasori in his last mission. He needs to get used to his new partner. Barragan, Tosen. Hurry up and get your mission done."
"Yes, Lord Pain." Said the man with the visor.
The old man said nothing. Both of them left, going for the Hidden Leaf Village.
