The two men take a few steps out of the house and the ground shakes again. The air was so chilled the men could see their breath as it touched the outside air. "We don't have much time left who do we have left?" Burakku asked quickly.

"We have that four olds parents, his 10 year old brother , his 13 year old sister but that little psycho is long gone and we that boy we just killed had an older sister, and there is also a old man as well."

"So we only have five left right?" Burakku asked.

"You are correct not counting Pirania."confirmed Ihai. "So whats all this huss about Pirania from what I heard? I don't believe I was briefed too much about her" the young Hunter Nin asked.

"Oh, I forgot you weren't around are village when it happened where you? Well you see that 13 year old prodigy from this village conspired to take are country over. simply put she organized her own little attack squad of some fellow Inryoku clan members,and some radical shinobi from this village and others. After-wards she you attacked our nations capitol, and declared herself the ruler and threatened to execute our leader.

At that point Hidden Ruin organized a counter squad to put an end to her plans once and for all and after a 2 day struggle, Hidden Ruin foiled her plans and restored order. Pirania then disappeared after-wards and vowed her ambition shall not end here and never showed her face again. Our leader was angered over how the clans of Hidden Ruin had too much free run of the village and wanted their heads on a platter, or else there would be war, but Hidden Ruin refused." he explained.

"Now I see, so thats why we went to war with Ruin." Ihai remarked.

"But thats not all the war ended with a treaty and that treaty stated all members of the Inryoku clan over the age of 4 must be killed and thats what we are on a mission to do. The man organized and wrote this treaty was a man of this village who goes by the name of Byouku who leads the Black Ops unit of this village. I have heard this man is hated deeply in this village but from what I have done so far I'm beginning to hate this guy too." Burakku added.

"I'm beginning to hate this man too, he must really hate the Inryoku clan to have to choose the kill them all off." the younger Hunter Nin comments.

"He does from what I heard and he values himself above everybody else and is sick and heartless man" sneers Burakku in disgust.The two men nodded in agreement as the ground shakes once more.

"Lets finish this quick."the two Nin nodded and decided to move on.The two Nin walked down the street and to their shock, the sound of doors slamming open echoed over the city as switched from its slumber mode to evacuation mode. The loud evacuation siren was blaring on as the people ran from their houses in fear.

"Now this is going to make are task more difficult." mumbled Ihai. " Not entirely we still have the location of their houses. The men in black raced through the crowds of frightened people. The people bumped into the two assassins and made the task of running more difficult. The two meant then in a flash of smoke disappeared.

The reappeared and resumed their hunt from the roof top. The loud deafening shriek of the beast echoed over the distance. The two men glanced over to see a large shadow approach the far side of the large front gate of the village. The creatures haunting green and orange eyes and brilliantly colored night sky body could be seen miles away. "So that is the beast of darkness Scorpius?" Ihai watched on in awe and fear at the beauty and hostility this beast displayed.

"You are correct that is the creature of darkness that was born from all the blood-shed and hate that last war spilled." Burakku remarked as he watched the demon scorpion approach the front gate.

The demon Scorpius raised its claw , and without any difficulty he smashed the front gate to pieces with his massive pincer. It let out a roar in satisfaction as the structure fell he crept into the town, his massive tail swung from side to side as his body crawled into town.

They watch as squads of of the villages ninja rush to the front gate to try to hold the beast off. The squads pass right by the men in black without any thought or care as to who they were. Their only interest was to stop that monster at all costs.

"The house is right there lets be quick about it." Burakku announces. Ihai nods in agreement and both ninja leap into the air and land on the roof top of the house. There they spot on the balcony the old man on their list glancing over at the monster as it entered his village.

The two men slid down the roof and landed quietly on the balcony behind him. The old man remained silent until he let out a sigh. "My grandson is our only hope" the old man spoke out. "You two can kill me if you wish I have no regrets or any more tears left to shed anyway." The old man softy spoke out again. Burakku and Ihai stop and listen quietly to hear what the old man has to say.

"My granddaughter who I had trained myself caused all this , I had thought I had taught her well but...why would she do such a thing." The old man begins to cry. "She could have had it all to become a kage, lead our clan she was so talented and she threw it all away for her own selfish ends." Burakku listens on to the broken man shed his feelings out before him. He knew the the girl he is referring to is non other than Pirania.

"I'm sorry for your loss but we must complete what we came here to do." Burakku speaks out. Echoes of screams and explosions are overheard as the ground shakes again.

"I understand" the old man replies he lets out a couple loud coughs and turns around to face his assassins. "Please I have one last request to ask" The old man asks. Burakku looks over to his partner for his approval. Ihai nods and gives his consent.

"Name it and I swear I will stand by my word." Burakku asks.

The old man smiles and then coughs again as he prepares his last words to speak. "Help them get my grandson to the sacred tower and keep him alive afterwords make sure nobody harms him once the deed is done." the old man begs.

"Very well I shall keep my word old man" Burakku replies. Burakku walks over and raises his trusty blade towards the old man. With a hard swing the lethal stile was done the old man fell back over the balcony and landed with a sickening thud on the pavement.

"Number 23 is now taken care of" announces Ihai as he checks the old man name off his list.

"Look out" screams Burakku as he grabs Ihai and leap of the building. Ihai glances back in mid-air as a large bright purple stream of purple chakra skims the house and takes out the larger building in front of it.

The two men in black land on the pavement bellow rubble from the house falls down towards the to men. Ihai immediately stands up and takes to action. He makes his hand seals and soon raises his palms into the air. A barrier of eerie green light comes from his hands and shields himself and Burakku from the fallen rubble. Burakku slowly stands back up and thanks his comrade. Suddenly noise echoes from the house. The two men rush around the corner of the house and watch from the darkness.

"Bastard what are you doing with my son" a man yell out. A small child is snatched by some angry man.

"Its your damned family that has doomed us all now I'm going to get even." The man yells back in a maniacal tone. "You should all burn in hell together this kid doesn't deserve to be spared because of his age." The psychotic man yells out now in hysterics.

Burakku watches on growing furious with this man's actions. If this man carries out his actions he would have doomed them all. Ihai looks over at Burakku signaling him they had seen enough time to take action.

Burakku then channels bright neon green chakra to his hand. He make the necessary hand seals and was prepared. He rushes around the corner of the house his eyes like a hawk already spotted his prey and. Burakku rushed right in and slammed his palm and against the mans chest and grabbed him hard by the mans skin. The man panicked in fear as Burakku's grip tightened tearing at his skin. "Let me go damn it your going to let him live?" the man screamed out trying to plead his way out but to no avail.

"Ninja Art Soul Crush Jutsu" Burakku announced as he yanked at the mans chest. The mans head snapped back ans his body twitched as Burakku slowly yanked out some glowing with figure from the mans body. Burakku then snapped back hard and sure enough the man stopped moving his eyes fixated and staring into nothing ness. Burakku releases his grip on the glowing white object and it floats and fades away. Burakku throws the man's life less body to the side and turns his attention to the young boy and his family.

The boys father immediately knew who they were and frowned. "I see so they have come after all" the boys father spoke. "How many are left?" The boys father speaks out again his face showed his depression. Burakku takes a deep sigh and prepares for the upsetting news.

"There are only 4 surviving members of your clan left not counting the traitor." Burakku speaks out.

"So your here to just exterminate us? Is that it isn't it? Your just going to kill us all off like rodents?" The man replies upset over what is going on.

"Its not like we have a choice in this we are just doing as we were instructed you are a shinobi as well you of all people should have known full well the duties and the tasks a ninja must be able to perform without question." Burakku snaps back.

The sounds of explosions can be heard across town as the monster moves through it. People screaming and the evacuation siren has been sounded. "You men have no decency to come at a time of crisis to carry out your task." The woman screams out.

"Don't take it personally we are not here to kill your child only you two and your eldest daughter and son." Ihai replies.

"Well your out of luck I'm afraid. Hiru disappeared and this morning and we have no idea where he went and Pirania nobody has seen since her attempted take over of your nation." The woman sneers.

" Very well we shall hunt them both down later , but that still leaves us with one 19 year old girl and you two." Ihai replies.

"But first, we have a promise to keep for the old man" Burakku announces. The man and woman holding there son tightly wonder what this Hunter Nin from Hidden Cave meant by.

"What promise?" The man asked.

"Your son is this village and regions last chance to stop this thing and his dying request was for us to stop that monster, but to do that we need you son." Burakku added.

The young child clenched on to his moms side tight he had no idea what the his elders were talking about. These men in black frightened him greatly and all the noise and commotion was not helping at all either. "Mommy whats going on?" the boy asked.

"Its alright sweetie everything will be fine I promise." his mom smiled.
Just then three more ninja appear in a flash of smoke these ninja were from Hidden Ruin.
