There are moments in your life that you want to turn tail and run as far as possible yet are unable to move a muscle because of fear that any movement might draw attention to yourself while you would like to be ignored.
I glanced up at the two people standing face to face in Sensei's living room.
One had hair as red as blood while other had hair as black as midnight.
One had bags under his eyes while his eyes itself were a light shade of green the other had one red eye visible while the other eye was covered by a mop of hair yet they both cut an imposing and terrifying image.
I stared at them I didn't know any of them yet they both stood as if they owned the earth where they stood upon.
"Uchiha" the redhead spoke
I wondered who this person was who bore the same surname as Sensei.
"Garra"
The man who resembled sensei replied.
I blinked and my eyes widened it was my Sensei he looked different it was as if I can't express in words.
Earlier whenever I had seen him his both eyes were black and sometimes red but now only one eye retained the familiar red color.
"Stand at ease Uchiha I haven't come here to kill you nevertheless I do appreciate erasing the illusion around your features"
"My illusion is so that I don't attract unwanted attention whether the good or the bad and I wouldn't want the KazeKage to feel threatened"
"You believe that you are a threat to me huh " he mused not offended.
"Anyway I am here on business"
Sensei 'hn' and Garra looked at him.
I could feel anger emanating from sensei before he calmed down.
"Kazekage how make I assist you during my exile?" I watched Sensei say it with a short bow.
"You didn't attach Sama or San but saying this itself must be quite an effort for you so I'll let it pass"
Garra spoke as he walked paced around the room grabbing a water bottle from the Fridge and drinking from it.
I saw him glance at me before turning away as though I was even present.
"This dimension" Garra began "It has come to our attention by our I mean Elemental Nations"
"We want to set up a permanent base here for both civilian and our Ninja populace"
"..." Sensei said nothing
"You must be wondering why? ... our world is rich in everything why should we need to explore other worlds and this world is beautiful the people here have achieved and been able to reach the moon and want to go beyond while we brought it to us via chakra and medical advancement that would make even the slug sanin curious,
We have achieved peace after all now progress is needed and from I have learnt this world has advanced technology and has achieved feats that were considered impossible without Chakra"
"You just want to conquer this world"
"Uchiha remember you are speaking to the KazeKage I am not Naruto"
"Yes I know"
"you are Garra of the desert" I interrupted as they both eyed me with curiosity and a mix of indifference both ignoring me once again.
As if I was lesser than a fly on the wall actually I was.
"So what do you want me to do?" Sensei asked his voice strained and as if wanted nothing more than this person to leave
"A simple job. I want you to assess the highest threat level weather human animal technological or even social and Battle it defeat it and send a report contain all weaknesses and strengths and how it would fare against our Shinobi"
"From what I have seen most of the threats that I have been either high genin to mid Chunin level yet I haven't seen enough of this world yet I require more resources to fulfil this mission"
"Send your requirements via summons and your old team taka cannot be included"
"What about team7?"
"Team 7 is officially considered dissolved some time ago but that is mere technicality since being slug senin's pupil she has duties within the village"
"You know whom I am talking about Garra"
"I know but Kakashi and Naruto cannot be called team7 any more although they are the most keen to meet you"
"So I will be visited by the dobe"
"Yes"
"How long have you been here anyway ?"
"A week "
"What threats did you face" He spoke while his eyes narrowed
"I faced a most interesting creatures which came to me in groups following the scent of blood it was similar to a small scout team of Zetsu's but their nature/origin was at some point human and required human blood for sustenance it did have slight disturbing similarity to the creatures of edo-tensei"
"How many?"
"25 "
"Time?"
"30 seconds including torture "
"Hn"
"Be Good Uchiha"
was the last words spoken by the redheaded teenager before his body turned into sand and he dissapeared not even the residual sand present to mark his earlier presence.
I saw sensei gritting his teeth before calming himself and suddenly his appearance reverted to the usual look that I was familiar with.
"Let's go we have a mission"
As sensei grabbed the Kusangi blade and a black trenchcoat before walking out of the house an ice-cold visage on his face.
I hoped that none of the creatures came out today as we walked out.
-Some time later-
My wish wasn't fulfilled as we moved through the worst parts we saw a number of glowing red eyes in the dark following us it didn't help the fact that Sensei had dipped his cloak in human blood from a blood bank and I was saved from the stench as Sensei had taught me an air freshening or water breathing jutsu which helped not gag as we moved.
The red eyes appeared in the shadows on the roofs under the gaps in the roads trailing sometimes I managed to catch a glimpse of white teeth or maybe a tongue along with it.
I could tell that Sensei was setting up trap he just wanted to slaughter them and as such wasn't going to hunt he was going to bring the prey to him.
As rounded upon a particularly dark road without any lighting we came across a dead end.
At this point I knew that Sensei had come there deliberately in order to give them a sense of superiority and vibe of trapped animal but for me it was different.
When It began I didn't know but suddenly there was rush of wind near me and I barely noticed it before I saw sensei's sword fully buried in the creatures skull and I realized at that moment that I was the true bait.
And I was scared.
But those creatures as though spurned by their allies death jumped at us together in order to overwhelm us before I saw Sensei make eye contact with one of them and it changed its focus mid jump and attacked its comrades and the one closest were easily killed while the others managed to jump back and avoid.
"Curses He's a wizard"
"They shouldn't be here and trying to bait what the fuck is going on with the secrecy"
"Whatever that asshole is dead"
"Flank from the left and right while a small team directly engages him while I bring Big Gunn"
" That crazy bastard are you nuts we won't get anything to eat if he kills it"
"I am too pissed off to bother about eating last week a 2 covens were erased Now I know it's those blasted wizards"
"Yes let's kill him and hang his body all over Knock turn alley"
"Yes" they erupted in chorus
I heard it all Chakra had a pleasant side effect of boosting hearing by 5% for everyone who used it on regular basis and additionally the ability to read lips keeping secrets becomes impossible from a Shinobi.
I watched as Sensei barely cared for what they said as if he was ignoring and proceeded to slaughter them left right and centre the sword moving as if it had a mind of its each swing catching and disintegrating no less than 3 vampires at a time while I gazed at the whole specatacle with wide eyes.
Sensei's eyes were black not the concentrating red with commas as if they weren't even worth exerting himself and I saw sensei run up a telephone cable and stand right in the middle of wires below his feet and motioning them to come at him they jumped and were on the top of the wires criss-crossing under their feet a few stumbled and fell a few jumped right at him from and before they could even reach him were cut down to pieces.
Looking at them I felt pity.
They weren't every worthy of Sensei effort and had deliberately handicapped himself by not using Sharingan even then they were no match for he was simply stronger than all of them.
I watched the whole scene play out they had forgotten me and few them even ran away screaming monster.
Sensei proceeded to say two words and raised his palms and they flew towards him like he was an opposing magnet and kill them as well.
Before gazing at a building and setting it on fire and then breaking creating a water dragon and making the water dragon crash into it.
Then the earth rumbled and the wind screamed as almost 3 buildings collapsed shattered and turned into rubble.
I felt as if a gentle breeze was blowing behind me.
When a commanding voice spoke
"Let's go we're done for tonight"
I grabbed sensei hand as we both disappeared into the night.
-Meanwhile-
The Ministry of magic was in chaos.
Amelia Bones the current head of DMLE was rubbing her forehead and her monocle was a hanging from her neck.
The junior auror was nevously shuffling his feet.
"We ...Um well I "
"SHUT UP"
"Yes maam"
"Now tell me what the issue is now or I am sending you to Azkaban on guard duty for 3 weeks"
"Ma'am there has been a level 4 damage in Muggle London it is suspected that Magic was used and the Damage is extensive and 3 covens worth of Vampires were killed"
"Didn't something similar happen last week?"
"Yes maam 1 entire coven was erased and everything property money or any other effects/belongings the whole place was ransacked."
"these attacks are getting more and more troublesome and on that did the department get any details on the forest fire last month near the Giant territories"
"None the giants are blaming the wizards as usual and tried to claim more lands, a few wizarding families have also tried our aurors have succesfully stalled the encroachment for now"
"Any idea on the perpetrators?"
"None Madam"
"They employ guerilla warfare so our reactionary teams are only aware of it after the damage is done usually it is after a minimum of 3 hours later "
"The wizgamot?"
"They have decided since dark creatures are being hunted it is alright if a few species go extinct while potioneers and magical creatures dept are up in arms all over the magical world and the wizgamot has additionally filled a petition for reclaiming more 'lost lands' from the dark and deranged creatures Umbridge is spearheading the movement and has minister's backing"
"Great just great " she muttered as she rubbed the bridge of her nose.
"Get me a cup of coffee and set all teams on standby sooner or later we might get attacked"
"Huh but what can they do to us we're wizards" the junior auror replied as indifferently.
Amelia glared at him as if he had just made a very stupid statement and he had.
"That kind of thinking might bring us closer to conflict than you think if under this unknown threat all the dark creatures get allied against us or a single dark race say goblins rebel then what?"
"oh O OH THAT'S... " The Jr auror was speechless
"Yes we're effectively screwed we need to wrap it up as soon as possible" "Go now you are dismissed"
Amelia sighed and leaned back into her armchair behind her desk.
The past few months had been horrible for her dissapearanaces kidnappings poaching and every single kind of problems which were more or less based around magical creatures, these incidents cropping up intially they did suspected a person but now there were attacks the only evidence being property and landscaping damage which was impossible to deliver with muggle technology.
She hoped the wizards behind these incidents were caught as she eyed the a couple of owls on their way to her.
Time waited for no one.
