Symone: A Special Nova Side-Story - "The Rage Of Rain"
[Sequence Two
Chapter Twenty-One: Invitation...

"Genburori-sama!" yelled the bloody ninja that had escaped near death by the hands of Nova, appearing outside of the village by a wagon which had been attached to an arsenal of horses. The left side of the wagon revealed a door that had opened as Genburori appeared drinking a glass of red wine. "Is there a reason I'm currently being disturbed?" asked Genburori as he looked to the bloody ninja with a detestable insight. "We may have found a powerful ninja! He took me out like I was nothing. I never even had a chance to hit him once! The thing was... he didn't even use any chakra, and miraculously, I was able to sense it... that there was something deep... almost as powerful as you!" stated the ninja. "This ninja, Jin... he came from a village where there were mostly bloodline limits of the Himura clan who were able to sense the depth of chakra, almost like the Hyuuga clan of doujutsu of Konoha, the Byakugan, being able to have the white-eye to see the tenketsu and level of chakra, but instead of using the eyes, the Himura clan can feel it directly through their bodies by constantly emanating a low frequency of chakra from the pores in their skin, absorbing any energy consumed by their foes and transferring it through the nerve endings in their bodies, transmitting the data back to the brain. What he says is not just a dialogue of a weak ninja, but has to be an honest statement" thought Genburori as he collected his thoughts a moment in an odd silence as he had asked, "Almost as much chakra as me?". "Yes. I'm certain. Want me to take you to him, Sir?" replied, then asking the ninja. "Get in" stated Genburori as he pushed the door to his wagon open more as the ninja, Himura Jin entered it.

The start of pain and the termination of life as he once knew it will become entirely different as Nova starts his new life after the certain circumstances are set. Does the ninja truly have as much power as the mid-rank ninja, Himura Jin had stated? The precious feelings of love we feel can all be rivaled, though as rare as it is, it can be sacrificed for the revenge planned afar in the future. A story continues now within the special three part side-story!

"So, let me ask you... do those swords make up for something... personal, or are you just happy to see me?" jokingly stated Nova as he smirked, holding his feet back to the ground, readying his combat stance as suddenly, the ninja start screaming out, running forward in the small room as Nova twisted his body, throwing himself to the ceiling as he held himself up using his palms and knee's as chakra had been emitted, holding him up as he quickly pulled out a roll of sharp metallic wire, placing it within the grasp of his teeth as he reaches with one of his hands in his ninja tools, taking out about five kunai, throwing each of them through the wire he had taken out of his teeth as he remains hanging from above, unreachable for the moment, though that moment had been quickly interrupted as two ninja struck upwards with their katana's as Nova had thrown himself forward, whirling the wire around the necks of four ninja, spinning around them as he kicks a few more out of the way by the door, landing upon the hard wood floor. Quickly, the ninja in the hallway start hurling a huge amount of shuriken, but quite evasively, Nova swung his wire, making sure the kunai's defended him as he would smack the shuriken away, though unfortunately, one missed, piercing the right shoulder of Nova, ripping away at his flesh as the blood drained down his slightly muscular arm. Nova then continued to swing the wire, taking down five ninja with each kunai attached in a multiple succession as the screams of the ninja pierced his ears as they fell down the stairs behind them in a massacre of blood as Nova spun the kunai behind him, sticking it to the wall to his right side. Quickly, the ninja in the room came out charging at him, but Nova had leaped quite spectacularly over the banister to his left, landing on the first floor of the old man's house, slightly bending his knee's as he did so, standing upright as quickly as he could as he still had the wire held in his hands. As the ninja had come running down the stairs, Nova had tugged the war that was connected to the wall still by the kunai's, as the sharp wire surprised two ninja, slicing their heads straight off. The rest of the ninja upstairs then began leaping down the same way Nova had just a moment ago as they land mostly the same. Nova then realizes he is outnumbered and defenseless for the most part, so he turns, trying to run out the back door, but unfortunately, ninja had been seen there, marching in with much speed, making up for the numbers he had just killed, plus more. He then turns again, realizing he had been trapped and outnumbered as he looks around for a method of escape or a tactic of defense. His eyes narrow and begin to glow with a ferocity of aggression as his impatience and stubborn attitude sets in. Suddenly, the front door that had been closed had flown off the hinges, spiraling in a radiative manner, knocking down most of the ninja with it's massive speed that had been in front of Nova as that giant man from earlier had walked inside the house with a silent glare, omnipotently emotionless. Nova then runs passed all the fallen ninja and stands guard by the giant man as he looks up to him. "About time you came, Toro!" stated Nova to the giant man, apparently going by the name of Toro. Toro smiles gently with his muscular and tough mug as Nova smiled back. The both of them then firmly look forward. "Nova. Katrice and that man. Don't you think you should be with them right now? You're not the only one being attacked" stated Toro as Nova replied, "Yeah... I found that out just before. I guess you're right, but will you be okay, Toro-san?". "Hmm" sighed Toro as he agreed, nodding his head. "Alright. I'll leave it to you. Be safe, buddy! This village needs you!" spoke Nova as he ran out of the house, speeding by the path across to his home, reaching his door as he noticed a ninja trying to break in. Nova then charged forward, reaching in his tools as he grabbed a kunai, hurling it in to the lungs and out of the chest of the ninja, killing him as he reached his door. Nova places his hand on the doorknob, trying to open it, but it was locked, so he began knocking intensively. "Open up! It's me, Nova!" he began screaming as he continued to knock. The old man then opens the door, allowing him in as Nova runs in, quickly closing the door behind him, locking it. "Are you alright!?" asked Nova as he looked to the old man, asking in a worry. "I'm fine... but someone's upstairs. Is your wife home? I didn't want to scare her, so I stayed quiet and sat by the door" stated and asked the old man as Nova replied, "Yeah. She doesn't even realize what's going on yet. I'm about to inform her now" as he ran up the stairs, barging in to the bedroom as Katrice was seen blow drying her hair. Katrice turns it off, as she looks to Nova, running over to him as she noticed his bloody injury. "Nova! What happened to your arm!?" she asked in serious worry as Nova sits on his bed. "Sit down, Katrice. I need to tell you something" stated Nova as Katrice sat down. "What is it, hun?... and what's that smell? Is something burning?" asked Katrice. "Katrice... I'm guessing you didn't hear the loud explosions, but that smell is some of the houses in the villages. We're... we're being attacked by a gang that calls themselves the Kumogun, and they're looking for people to join them as they invade village-by-village. We've apparently been their next target" told Nova to Katrice, as she replies with love and care, not worrying about what's happening outside, "Then... that wound?". "Yeah... I got in to a scuffle with some dirty ass ninja, but I'm totally fine" stated Nova as he blinks lightly, looking away from his beautiful sweetheart. "Listen, Katrice... I want you to hide. I don't want you involved or hurt. I'm gonna try to save us all. Toro is already cleaning up the mess I left behind and putting in his efforts for us, and I should at the least do the same... to protect us... to protect... you... and our child..." Nova stated as he looked down to Katrice's stomach, placing his hand over it as he closed his eyes, imagining what pain could be felt if they were never by his side again. Katrice nodded. "All right, I want you to go in the attic, and lock the ceiling door, and place any really heavy object you can over it, and do not move or make a sound. Stay quiet until I come back and say otherwise. Understood?" stated Nova as Katrice replied, "O-Okay..." as she walked out in to the hallway, stopping as Nova had called out, "Katrice!...". Katrice stopped and turned with a depressive gleam in her gorgeous brunette eyes. "I love you...forever..." stated Nova as Katrice continued with a reply, "...and ever" as she smiled, pulling up the door to the attic as she made her way up the stairs, lifting up the door as she gave Nova one last good look... knowing there's a possibility it might just be the last she will see of her hero and husband. Once Katrice was secured, Nova heard the old man scream in agony as he hustled down the stairs, hearing the splatter of blood hit the ground. Nova made his way down the stairs, seeing his door broken down as he see's the same ninja from earlier in which he bloodied up and let go. "Ah... it's you. It seems you did return home!" spoke the ninja as the ninja turns around, looking out of the door that had been broken down as he watches the appearance of a new face. Nova feels a dark feeling in his gut as he turns his head to the door, slowly seeing through the light of day, the appearance of Genburori as he entered his home. Nova looks to him with a scarred, worried look in his eyes. "Jin... is this the one you were talking about?" asked Genburori as Jin replied, "Yes! That's him! Out of all the people we've been around, he is definitely the one with the most power and potential. He's a dirty, untrained fighter though, but he has natural ability in Taijutsu... Genburori-Sama". "Genburori...?" thought Nova as he sharpened his eyes with anger. "That's all I need of you, Jin. You may be gone now" demanded Genburori as Jin replied, "Yes, Sir!" as he walked passed Genburori on his way out, but quickly, Genburori grabbed the face of Jin, as Jin began to scream, "Genburori-Sama!? WHAT ARE YOU-.." as Genburori passed Jin out, hurling him against the wall as he still had him within his solid grasp. An enormous glow overtook the body of both of them as Genburori seemed to be powering the amount of chakra he had, letting him drop to the floor as the glow slowly stopped. As Jin's body smacked the floor, his flesh dried up like dust, cracking away through the bones as his eyes concaved in to his withered skull, appearing dead and brittle. Genburori turns his head, looking to the man he had apparently aimed to seek out. "Your name...?" asked Genburori. "My name is no concern of yours, you monster!" replied Nova as Genburori had asked, "Well, I just want to know the name of the new member of my Kumogun Temple". "A new member...? Are you mad, you twisted bastard!? I wouldn't join you in your supremacy rampage even if it meant my life!" asked, then stated Nova as Genburori replied, "Is that so? Then maybe there's something we can arrange, now that I have this new method of seeking my way. Believe me... We WILL talk".

An invitation, or more like a demand was made by Genburori as he was finally introduced to Nova, showing their very first meeting, but how will Nova get out of this mess? Also, why the sudden talk of a new method of getting his way? Genburori - the mad beast starts forming his new branch of power as Nova somehow branches in to a downfall of what seems to be captivation as we know it now... but how does his life play out to what we know today? Back in the old mans house that is now deceased, what will happen to the apparent neighbor and powerful friend of Nova who goes by the name of Toro, and what's to come of Katrice? Follow me to the final chapter of this three-part special presentation of "The Rage Of Rain!", Chapter twenty-two!

The last moment of this story is at hand. Do you know where life will lead?
