C2, Into the Mist
"Talking." 'Thoughts.'
(A/N, I would like to describe how the assassins look in this story, for Raven, he will have red and gray hair and a gray goatee. And will sound like Leonard Nimoy from the last Transformers movie when he played Sentinel Prime. Toulon will also sound like Optimist Prime from the same movie voice by Peter Cullen. Also if you've seen Assassins Creed Embers, then take a look at Shao Jun's clothing and you'll see that there is a unique pattern to it. Both Washi and Yugito will have that pattern on their battle outfits and hoods. I hope to hear your thoughts and ideas please read and review.)

Six months later.
Yugito slowly began to wake and roll out of the bed that she shared with her boyfriend Washi who had been sleeping right next to her only to see that he was already gone on his morning training, she let out a chuckle knowing this was so like him. Originally she had never wanted to fall in love with anyone when she came here especially her fellow host of the Nine Tailed Fox.
It had already been two months since they had started dating and Yugito couldn't imagine her life without him anymore, she walked down the stairs of the cabin into the kitchen to see Raven there busy making the breakfast for them. The night before Yugito had completed her training and become a full-fledged member of the brotherhood or as she liked to call it sometimes the sisterhood.
She sat down at the table and began to eat her breakfast and then wonder what Washi might be doing only to hear a loud crash and bang outside from Washi's training routine, she then walked outside to see him battling many of his clones in heavy combat. This had become a daily routine for them and it was something she'd gotten used to.
Washi was running in amongst his clones dodging their attacks and cutting them down one by one until he finally got the last clone and quickly ducked his head under the clones sword swing and then proceeded to cut it in two with one quick swipe of his blade. The clone exploded into smoking as the blow landed on its target, it also put wind chakra into his last spring which also destroyed the base of a tree that had been directly behind the clone in the attack.
Washi became aware that he had an audience thinks to the sound of clapping and turned his head to see Yugito standing there clapping with a smile upon her face, he sheathed his swords and walked up to her and was embraced in a loving hug. They were both brought out of this touching moment by the sound of Raven opening the back door, "I would preferred that you do that in the bedroom and not out here if you don't mind, now the breakfast is ready and we have much to do today."
The two walked back in and sit down at the table curious about what their leader and teacher had planned for them today, Yugito was as curious as ever and decided to just come out and ask him, "So what's happening today old man?" "A great deal my young students; today we will be visiting the capital of Spring Country. Since there are now three of us we can begin to do missions and possibly find new recruits so our numbers may grow again."
Washi was a bit surprised by this turn of events; it had been a long time since he had last seen his old friend Koyuki who was now the Spring Daimyo, "So we're going to see the Daimyo, I can't Wait to see her again she's an old friend Raven." "So you are the hero I heard about, it looks like fortune has favored us again. We will need her help for if we are to rebuild our people. Finish your breakfast and get dressed you two, we leave within the hour."

The air above the capital of Spring Country was a refreshing experience and change of pace for Raven as he rode upon his summoner's back, the large eagle whose name was Toulon was also the leader of the Eagle clan and a friend to the assassins, his clan had for many years been the personal summoning animals to the Uzumaki Clan. Raven then turned to his left to see Washi and Yugito riding the back of Juno who was the daughter of Toulon. The two Eagles then went into a screening power dive flying out of the clouds in a deep dive towards the Daimyo's Castle of Spring Country formally known as the Land of Snow.
Many of the palace guards who were standing upon the ramparts the castle's wall looked up in shock to see two large raptors flying down at the Castle like bats out of hell, the two large birds of prey spread out their wings slowing their dissent landing easily upon the roof itself surprising the palace guards. It was at this point that they noticed upon the birds backs three people, the largest of the two had a single man upon its back wearing a white robe with a hood that concealed his identity from them who then proceeded to jump down upon the ground. The second rapture moved one of its wings downwards to allow her passengers to slide down to the ground with little effort on their part.
The palace guards could now make out that the first man to dismount, he was clearly to them at least in his mid-50s or early 60s had more power to him as he walked up to the bird of prey and said, "Thank you my old friend for bringing us here today." "It was my pleasure Raven, my daughter and I will wait for you're to return. Washi, Yugito." The two young assassins walked up to Toulon and stood before him as he said, "I want you two, to be on your best behavior for Raven. Us old guys have to stick together, you know. And the same goes for you as well Juno, behave yourself." She rolled her eyes at her father and then said, "Got it father, you two are so lucky. You know that. I have to stay out here with my no fun old man." "I heard that daughter."
She suddenly had that look of being busted; she then gave her father a smile and a wave of her wing to him. The three assassins then walked over to the palace guards who were still trying to figure out what was going on. Raven walked up to them and said, "My name is Raven Uzumaki, current leader of the Brotherhood of Assassins and have come to speak to your Daimyo, Lady Koyuki."
The guards were now in total shock, they had all heard the stories of the legendary Assassin Raven who had assisted the rebellion in its time of need, out of the assembled group of palace guards a lone man walked out and greeted Raven with a smile upon his face. He was none other than Wang, leader of the palace guards and defender of the Lady Daimyo Koyuki. The two men shook hands with a firm grip as Wang then said, "I see you like making an entrance my old friend and who are the young ones?" "They are my young students, the first of many I hope. Now will we be allowed to see your leader my friend?"
Wang gave a chuckle and motion his hand for the assassins to follow him inside the castle to see the Lady Daimyo herself, after a few minutes of walking the castle's halls they came upon a door that led to the Daimyo's secretary and beyond her office. The secretary that looked up to see Wang and his lethal companions walking up to her, Wang then bowed his head to her and said, "I have some associates here that I think the Daimyo you would like to see, would be all right for a meeting with her at this time?"
The secretary was about to open her mouth to speak when the door flew open and three Leaf Ninjas walked out in front of them; it didn't take long for Washi to recognize exactly who had walked out of the office. The first person that he recognized was none other than his old sensei Kakashi Hatake who hadn't changed too much at all. The next individual was a pink haired girl, who just happened to be his ex-teammate Sakura Haruno, the next person that he saw was a young man who was almost deathly pale and was someone he did not recognize.
He was now a bit on edge seeing them again but kept his cool in the face of this danger, what surprised him most was heated conversation between Kakashi and Koyuki, she then screamed out for all to hear, "Get out of my country right now, I want nothing to do with you. And even if I knew where Naruto was, I still would not tell you where he is even if I knew. Now get out." "But Lady Koyuki, he's been missing for more than a year and a half now, we have to find him. We must find him."
She only gave him an angry scowl for a response; he attempted once more to plead his case only to be shot down in the attempt by her which resulted in several palace guards coming to their Ladies defense. The assassins also tensed and ready themselves for battle. Kakashi took the hint and motion for his team to follow him out of the palace and eventually the country as will.
After the Leaf Ninjas left the room Koyuki then notices Raven and his companions standing off in the corner with Wang, before she could even say a word to them Wang quickly decided to introduce them, "My Lady this is Master Raven of the Assassins Brotherhood and two of his students."
Koyuki had heard the stories of this legendary man many times thanks to Wang, she then walked back into her office and proceeded to sit down behind her desk as Wang and the assassins walked in right behind her. All three of the Assassins proceeded to pull down there hoods so the leader of the Land of Spring could see their faces as a sign of trust only for her to look upon one of them in shock. "Naruto?"
The man walked forward with a smile upon his face only to be practically tackled by the ruler of the land of spring was crying with tears of joy upon seeing her nation's hero and the young man who gave her hope again in her life. Yugito was surprised by the woman's actions towards her boyfriend and mate but also realize that it'd been more than a year and a half since Koyuki had seen him, she undoubtedly knew a bit about how he had come to be in hiding and realized why the Lady Daimyo had been so upset with the Leaf Ninjas. Koyuki then released him from the hog of death and gave him a look over and said, "You look good Naruto, Lady Tsunade said you would be coming to our country at some point in the future."
He gave a small chuckle and smiled as he looked up into her eyes and said, "I've been here for a while Princess, found out that I have family still alive. Hell I even found out that Naruto's not even my first name." "What is it?" "Washi, and I'd like to introduce you to my girlfriend, Yugito Nii." Koyuki then proceeded to walk up to the young blonde haired Jinchuriki and proceeded to give her a once over and then nodded her head in approving manner, "I like her Washi, she seems to be your perfect counterpart, but if you break his heart little girl, I will break you! Are we clear on that?" Yugito just nodded her head as she realized this woman was more like a big sister to him than any form of competition for his heart.
Raven could only smile at the two young women's antics, he then sent down in one of the many chairs that lined the office of the Daimyo. After a few minutes of talking and introductions the two leaders began to discuss the reason for Raven's visit to the capital, Koyuki had listened to his proposal and agreed that it had a great deal of potential but she also knew that another land needed their help a lot more at this time.
"You have made quite a few good points Master Raven, but the Land of Spring is not in immediate danger at this time. I can't be so certain about the future though?" Raven was surprised by her last sentence and came to the realization that something very bad going to happen in the future, "You have gained some kind of information to a possible threat to your country have you not?" "Yes, due to our proximity to the land of water we've been keeping a closer eye on them as of late. Recently I was approached by a man named Jack Web and his daughter Mai. Thanks to them we have learned that the bloodline Civil War is still going on over there and that they're Daimyo appears to be quite interested in our country and its technology, Jack was once a member of their Grand Navy of the Land of Water until they killed his wife for having a bloodline limit. After that several other captains and their crews joined the resistance to help combat the rising tension in the land of water, several naval officers stayed at their posts help the resistance with information. We recently found out that they are considering an invasion of our country. If they succeed in this we will all be in tremendous danger as well as the rest of the Elemental Nations."
The assassins were now shocked by this information and what it could mean to the Land of Spring if not the world, Raven decided right then and there that they were going to help the people of Water Country and put an end to the corruption and tyranny that control that land once and for all. "I agree with your assessment on this situation Lady Daimyo, something must be done and soon. I would like to personally speak with the captain to develop a strategy to combat this threat." She nodded her head and motion for one of her aides to come over and make the proper preparations for the assassins to meet the captain and his daughter.

The three Assassins led by one of the Daimyo's personal aides walked into a large private ship docked that held a rather unusual looking ship in it, walking alongside the dock workers was a man who seem to be in charge of this project. One of the many dock workers pointed them out for this man who turned his head to look at them and was quite surprised to see an old friend among them, "Raven you old dog what you doing here?" "I've decided to come out of retirement you might say my old friend, Washi, Yugito allow me to introduce you to one of my old friends, Mastership builder Duke."
Both of the young Assassins walked up to Duke and shook his hand, Raven looked from the ship to Duke and then said to his old friend, "We were sent here by the Daimyo to gain information from Capt. Jack Web about our upcoming mission, you wouldn't happen to know where he is old friend?" "Yep, right over there Raven." Duke then pointed over to a man who was standing with a small group of men and women who were studying a schematic of the ship in question.
Raven thanked Duke who then went back to working on the ship in question, Raven then walked over to the group with both of his young students directly behind him. One of the men saw them walking over to their group and pointed to them as the rest of the group turned around to see who was coming over to them. The Daimyo's aide then introduced them to the captain, "Capt. Webb, allow me to introduce you to Master Raven of the Brotherhood of Assassins and his two apprentices Washi and Yugito." The captain then took a cigar from its mouth and gave a slight bow to the Assassins as the Daimyo's aide then went on to explain why they were here in the first place. After the two groups talked for a while Raven was even more convinced that this mission was even more important thing he could possible realize.
Raven then decided to gain more information about their destination, "Do you know if the Resistance is still in one piece and where can we find them as well Capt." Jack was thoughtful for a second and then responded, "The Resistance is now in hiding Master Raven, in fact they're hiding in their enemies backyard, right in the land of Water's capital city itself." "What about the hidden village of Mist?" Washi asked.
It was the captain's daughter Mai who responded to this question, "The Daimyo of the Land of Water decommissioned the Village Hidden in the Mist and relocated all of the shinobi still loyal to him to the capital of the country to protect him from the resistance. But as this turned out, this kind of backfired for him as the resistance also has a strong presence there as well. As of this moment they've helped get a lot of people who have bloodlines out of the country, that's what this ship is being built for."
Washi understood almost immediately what the ship was going to be used for, "It's a stealth ship to get people out of the country safely." "Yes, if we had, had this a couple of years ago my mother might be alive today. But can you people really do what you say you can." Washi gave her smile and said, "Yes we can, how soon can we leave?" Jack Web lit his cigar and then said, "We'll be leaving in exactly 2 days at Sunset, whatever you guys are planning to bring with you have exactly that much time."

Later in the evening the three Assassins had just entered the main hall of the sanctuary with much on their minds, Washi was the first one to voice his opinion on the matter that had begun to consume their every waking thought, "Two days to prepare, it's not a lot of time."
"It will be enough young warriors, the information we require will be obtained both on the journey to the Land of Water and more when we arrive at our destination. But luckily for us, we have some information on the land of water. It may be out of date but it can still be useful." This bit of information caught them by surprise as Raven walked by them to the library of the sanctuary.
Washi and Yugito followed him into one of the libraries locked sections, upon entering the section right behind Raven they noticed him pulling out several scrolls and maps that were marked Water Territory, after looking through several maps Raven then pulled one out in particular and unrolled it for all to see as he said, "This map may be out of date by say at least 20 years, but it is much more than just a standard street map. It is a map of the Assassins den system."
"We had a presence in Water Country?" Washi asked him. "Yes, Water, Spring formally known as the Land of Snow and Whirlpool were the lands we normally operated in. Besides Fire Country and the Hidden Leaf Village of course."
Washi and Yugito were now studying the map intently, Washi then said, "So these Dens could still be hidden in the capital we need to find them. Some of these here are big enough for the resistance to use if they came across them." "Exactly, I believe they are using some of them if they've managed to stake a claim in the capital city. We need to find one in particular and see if it's intact. If it's not, we may have to rebuild what's in it." "What is it, old man?" "A special teleportation seal system that allowed us to enter these countries without our enemies knowing we were there to begin with. Before our fall the Gateway as it was known, was used on a regular basis to move assassins from one place to another."
Yugito then realized something, "There's a Gateway here in the sanctuaries isn't there?" Raven gave her a smile, "Yes and there was another one in Whirlpool a long time ago. I know that one was destroyed long ago." "Can we use the one here in the sanctuary to go to the Land of Water?" Washi asked.
Raven nodded his head a no and then said, "The Gateway doesn't work that way I'm afraid, and you have to activate the two points within one hour. Or you have to wait a week to try again. And if you don't use them within a certain amount of time my young warriors they deactivate." "And since it's been over 20 years since they were last activated we have to find the one in the land of water and pray that it's still functional." "Exactly." Yugito was truly impressed by the system and knew just how important it was to find once they got to the Land of Water.

The three Assassins stood on the deck of the stealth ship that bore the name Silent Run, the ship had just the day before finished her sea trials under the watchful eye of Duke. Within the next day the ship would be in the territorial waters of their target country, Jack walked up to them and looked out upon the sea. "It's beautiful isn't it; I met my wife on one of our missions together. She was a shinobi and I was a sailor. A few people said I never had a chance with her and I quote "It's like angels flying out of your ass to get next to the likes of her." But we hit it off, and within a year we were married and she was pregnant with our daughter."
Yugito could see the emotion in his eyes, "So what happened?" "It was some years after the start of the war and she was on a mission, she was left with no choice but to reveal her bloodline to save her team from being killed. They all made it back safely but one of the people they been sent to retrieve exposed her to the village forces. They came for us and in the ensuing battle a couple of her teammates were killed as well and she sacrificed herself to save us from being killed. I still have nightmares of that day watching my wife fighting to the death to save us and my little girl screaming for her mother to come with us over and over again, everyone on my ship as well as her surviving teammates decided it would be safer to go on the run, so we became pirates and joined the others who had gone wrong to save their own lives and families. But we never gave up hope that one day we could get our country back and save everyone else who we had no choice but to leave behind. Then we came across the Land of Spring and its Princess who agreed to help us get our country back from those tyrants."
It was at this point that they all heard three men walking the deck and talking to each other about the ship being ready for its mission, Jack then said, "Those three were my wife's best teammates, she called them the Wreckers. They're also pretty good engineers and sailors, and if they are checking the ship right this minute that means that we're about to enter Water Countries territorial waters. We better get below decks as you're all about seeing why this is a stealth ship." The three of them followed Jack and the Wreckers below deck as the outside of the ship began to change, they all entered the bridge to see a young ensign walk up to them and say to Jack, "Capt. All crew members are accounted for and we are ready to submerge the boat." "Very good, dive officer take us down." "Yes sir helmsmen take us to periscope depth and plot a course for the Land of Water's capital."
Washi, Yugito and Raven watched as the bridge became a fury of movement as the crew went about their duties operating the vessel that now began to slide beneath the waves of the ocean on its way towards the capital of a country in pain and sorrow.

The Assassins time on board the Silent Run was mostly spent learning the layout of their destination and potential targets, within hours they knew that they would be arriving at their destination and then would be getting to know the lay of the land sort of speak. Luckily they would have the help of Jack to get them into the city; Washi could only imagine what was going to happen once they were inside its walls and could now only think about what Haku had told him that terrible day in Wave Country.
Yugito had heard this story before and knew it by heart; she could understand why Washi was so on edge as they approached their destination. She looked over to see him now staring out of one of the many portholes that showed only the deep blue sea at this moment in time, she then walked up behind him and gave him a much-needed hug and asked, "What are you thinking about right now?" "What Haku went through when she was still in this country, I'm been thinking about it a lot now. And after hearing Jack's story I can't help but wonder if we can save this land at all."
It was Raven who then spoke to ease the minds of his apprentices, "This task will not be easy Washi but if we do not do this, then who will." They both nodded at this. "Master Raven, what will be our first priority once we arrive. Do we look for the Den that has the Gateway or do we establish ourselves in the city?" "We establish ourselves in the city of course my young warriors, the dear Capt. Will undoubtedly know the best targets to hit right away. And hopefully the resistance will find us by doing this, and if they agree to help us then we can begin to look for the den and the Gateway and pray it is intact." Raven said as he began to pack up the maps knowing they would be quite busy soon.

The ships bridge was deathly quiet and the illumination from lights was kept to a minimum as the Silent Run began to surface so it could unload its valuable cargo to the people of the Land of Water, and offload its more dangerous passengers upon the tyrants who ruled this country. Once the ship had surfaced the crew went into action almost immediately to safely get the cargo off the vessel as they only had two hours before the mornings early light would expose them to their enemies, the three Assassins were led to one of the many rowboats that had been brought out for this mission to get them to the shore of the Land of Water.
Washi and Yugito then saw Mai walk up to her father and say, "Let me go with you father." "Not this time Mai." "Why not father?" At her question he stopped what he was doing and turned to face her, "I know you want revenge for what he did to your mother, but not right now okay. There are people's lives at stake, and we both know he's too strong right now to kill, just have patience Princess." She gave her father a nod and then walked over to the Assassins; Washi could tell that she was upset about not being able to go with them and decided to ask her about it, "You must really want revenge on this man Mai."
She turned to face him with sadness in her eyes, "More than you know, I watched that men butcher men and women who were like members of my family even if it was not by blood. And then my mother sacrificed herself to save us, now he's one of the Daimyo's top enforcers. Now he kills anyone from the Land of Water that has a bloodline or supports the resistance. He's just as bad as the man they call the Civilian."
This got the attention of Yugito who then asked, "The Civilian?" "Yes the Civilian, he works for the Daimyo as one of his main hitmen and a hunter of those with bloodlines like me, those two men are responsible for more deaths than anyone else in this war and the Civilian is also a bounty hunter. And he has his own private army at his disposal to hunt us and the resistance."
Raven then decided to ask his own question, "Do you know their names young one?" "Yes, the Civilians name is Bane. As for the man who killed my mother his name is Aizen. All I ask is that one day you put an end to these two for me."
Washi then walked up to her and looked her in the eyes and said, "I promise you one way or another we will save this country, you have my word on that." "Think you Washi." With this she went below decks once more as her father walked up to them, "It's time to go."
The three Assassins nodded to him as they boarded the boat and began their journey into the heart of darkness as the Land of Water had become known. Within 10 min. they were standing on one of the many docs of the capital city itself, Washi immediately took a look around the area and was surprised by what he saw. Towers, they were practically everywhere and they looked a lot like the Borgia Towers back in ancient Rome during Ezio's time. Upon seeing the towers Washi immediately asked the captain, "What function do those towers serve?" Jack looked up at the nearest tower and then said to Washi, "From what I've been told about them, the towers are strictly for the purpose of controlling the people of the city and protecting the Daimyo's interests. Even if it means the people have to suffer because of it, each tower has a well-equipped platoon of men who are ready to kill anyone at the drop of a hat. And that's not counting what they do to the people and the shopkeepers who keep them alive."
Raven and Washi turned to each other and silently agreed on their course of action, Yugito could instantly see that the two were up to something and evolving the towers themselves. Jack himself watched the three Assassins walking towards the nearest tower with a look of determination upon their faces, each one began to check their various weapons and even unseal even more for the battle to come. "What the hell are they up to?" This is what Jack asked himself as one of his crew members walked up to him and said, "Sir we managed to unload everything." The crewmember then realized that his Capt. Had not heard him and appeared to have his attention on something else or rather someone. The crewmember then spoke a little louder to get his Capt.'s attention, "Sir." This got Jack's attention as he turned to the crewmember and asked, "Yes what is it?" "Sir, we have managed to unload all the cargo and it is being distributed as we speak." "Good work." "Sir, what's going on?" Jack then decided to just say what he thought was going on, "I think our passengers lost their damned minds, they're going to take on that tower." "That's a little crazy if you ask me." "We'll find out very soon."

Raven had finished explaining his plan to the young Assassins who then went to do their individual tasks to take the tower down and begin the liberation of the Land and Water. Raven was the first to make his move finding a ladder to get to the high ground so he could begin to pick off his enemies with a sniper rifle. Yugito moved with the crowd blending in with them and began to take out several of the guards here and there; it didn't take very long for the guards who were harassing the people to get theirs.
At the same time Washi was on top of the buildings looking for the platoon captain who was his main target, he then saw a large group of soldiers walking out of the tower's courtyard and into a large market square. He activated his Eagle vision to see if his target was among them and was rewarded with his target insight. But before the Assassins could make a move several of the guards turned their attention towards a young woman and her son, when the captain of the guard saw the woman he instantly set off a flare high into the sky. Washi instantly gave the signal and began his attack upon the captain and his guards.
The Capt. Of the guards walked through his men with a smirk so big it was threatening to split his face wide open, the woman was now holding her son close to her body with a clear look of fear upon her face and began to back up until she hit the wall directly behind her. "It's so good to see you again Lady Kukaku, and this young man must be the heir to the Land of Water. Your brother in law will be so happy to see you again my Lady."
The captain of the guards began to reach out for her; it was at this time that the captain heard sounds of screaming coming from his men in the rare. He quickly turned around only to see a strange warrior in black with a hood that conceals his identity from anyone. The Capt. Watched almost in slow motion as two of his men fell to the ground unmoving as the glow of life left their eyes, the warrior in black then moved like lightning shoving the blade sticking from his risks right into the throats of his men all over again. The rest of the men engaged him in heavy combat as the captain then quickly reached out for Kukaku and her son only for another strange warrior this time in white and clearly a female to intercepted him and delivered a strong kick to his skull sending him crashing to the ground, without warning he saw the woman flick her wrist and a small blade popped out of her sleeve which she then delivered right into his heart ending his wicked life. The last thing he saw and heard was her moving away from him to protect the woman and child, the last words he would hear would be hers, "Rest in peace."
Raven had to admit that his two students were proving to be quite effective in the arts of the Assassins Brotherhood; it was however at this moment that he saw a group of men approaching as well as another platoon of soldiers directly behind them. At the head of the group was a rough looking man with a large hat and what looked like red goggles covering his eyes from view, Raven activated his own Eagle vision and saw that a another Tower captain was present in the group directly behind this man, the strange man himself was clearly not a friend of the people and had what looked like on each of his hips that looked a lot like guns with blades attached to them. Raven knew that he had to take this man out as soon as possible, he lined up his shot on this man and let the bullet fly free only for to hit the platoon captain directly behind him as he moved just enough to avoid the bullet altogether.
He was known by many names, the Civilian, the Scourge, but the name he liked best was Bane. As he and his men entered the Plaza that contained the market and was right next to the Tower that had alerted them to the presence of the lost heir. As they entered the Plaza Bane look at the top of one of the many building and saw within a split second the shot and bullet coming right at his head, he moved to his left just enough for the bullet to miss his head and strike the platoon captain directly behind him. He wasted no time in giving his orders for his bounty hunters and the soldiers directly behind him to attack the strange warriors. Bane then saw Lady Kukaku being protected by the strange warriors.
Raven was now raining down shots upon the soldiers and bounty hunters as fast as he could, the strange one in the hat was proving quite elusive and knew exactly where he was, his position had been compromised and it was time to leave. He quickly sealed up his rifle and found a point where he could safely perform the Leap of Faith. Before leaping from the building's roof he observed a clone of Washi planting the paper bombs and doing his own Leap of Faith as the tower exploded in on itself, large pieces of the tower fell right into the towers courtyard and a couple actually hit so the soldiers as well. Upon seeing this Raven performed his Leap of Faith glad that the first tower had fallen and that he didn't have to climb down this building, as both his age and his prosthetic leg made it hard just getting up here in the first place.
Jack and a couple of his men including the Wreckers were shocked to see the wife of the late Daimyo and what could be the heir of the Land of Water itself. The Assassins had cleared a path for the woman and her child to escape from the soldiers and the bounty hunters, but Jack wanted to make sure that his new allies would also make it as well. He turned to the Wreckers, "Boys, get the lady and her kid out there right now, and clear a path for the Assassins." "You got Capt." A Scottish like voice said as the three of them activated their special battle armor and went right for the kill.
Washi saw that the woman and her child were now safe from harm and the other civilians had already fled from the area. He was now free to engage the remaining soldiers how he saw fit and unsealed his two swords and instantly move to take them out. (A/N: Washi's fighting style in swords will be similar to that of Starkiller's from Star Wars the force unleashed 2.) The soldiers had never encountered an opponent like this before; the two blades were enhanced with wind Chakra so they could cut through just about anything they came in contact with. Unfortunately for the bounty hunters and soldiers that happened to be them, he dodged every swing of the sword and every thrown projectile that was sent at him. When the last soldier hit the ground dead Washi threw one of his heavy smoke bombs to conceal them from pursuit.
When the smoke cleared from the area, Bane and one of his other bounty hunters who had survived the battle now walked out into the open knowing that their enemy was long gone. In a raspy like voice Bane observed that things have changed dramatically in the land of water, "It would appear that we have some new enemies, at least we now know that Lady Kukaku and the heir are here in the city at least. Inform our special teams to start looking for them at once, and set up a bounty on those three warriors. Also increase the bounty on Jack Web and his crew, get me everything you can on these people, I want to know who I'm fighting now."
He began to observe the area never once taking off his goggles, if anyone had ever got up and close and personal and looked underneath them at this time they would see a fully developed Sharingan.
