Battousai
Chapter 2: The Battousai
A mist was rolling in and the Chuunin guards were feeling very sleepy.
They fell down snoring silently.
A black cloak figure walk silently past them. Not even stopping. If one had to guess, this was a S-Class Missing-Nin.
Dumplings Shop
Kakashi was walking by when he saw Kurenai and Asuma walking together.
"My, my you two are sure getting along well."
"Baka, I'm just here for some Dango for Anko." Kurenai said with a slight blush.
Kakashi eye went to a hooded person eating some dango.
"And what are you doing here?" Asuma ask also looking at the hooded figure.
"Oh, I came to buy an offering."
"For Obito?"
The hooded figure who was holding his drink flinch at those words.
"Something like that."
"Oh, for Naruto as well." Kurenai ask glaring at the person suspiciously.
In a blink the figure was gone. Money on the table food and drink there as well.
"Yea,"
The hooded figure was walking calmly towards team 7's old training ground.
Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai appeared in front of him.
"It's been a long time, Kurenai-san, Kakashi-san, Asuma-san." The figure spoke calmly.
"If you know us then you must be a former ninja of this village."
The figure lowered his hood and blond hair with a fox mask that covered his mouth and nose (almost like Kakashi mask. Think of Sango's mask from Inuyasha show.) His silver eyes with three black como's were unmistakable. All three eyes open wide when they saw those eyes.
"You're..."
All three Jounin's got into a defense stance.
"It's no mistaking him. The man who killed the Mizukage. The Battousai."
"Please Kakashi-san, Kurenai-san, Asuma-san. I have no intention in killing you. I only wish to stay in this village for a day peacefully before being on my way."
"Someone who killed the Mizukage wouldn't say something like that. What are you doing here?" Asuma said.
"Not only that, he knows us even though I'm positive we never met before." Kureani added.
"It seems I am in for a fight."
Quicker then Kakashi could react the Battousai kick him in the face.
Asuma quickly brought out his blade knuckles and the Battousai brought out his own sword.
Asuma was doing all he could to block and finally mange to stop the giant sword in its tracks when the Battousai tried to bring it down on his head.
Kurenai took cover and started to make seals.
'This is...Genjutsu.'
Asuma felt the giant sword touch his shoulder and couldn't believe someone with such power really existed.
"My sword Tenka, is a electric shock to your system." As electricity started to fry him.
"Kurenai, you're late." Asuma said as she started to smoke.
The ground started to sink and the Battousai look up to see Kurenai come out of a tree with a kunai in her hand.
"This is...it." She went in for the kill only to see she was trap.
"A B-Class Genjutsu won't work on me Kurenai-san."
'This is a Genjutsu counter.'
Kurenai bit her lip to counter the Genjutsu. When she opens them she saw his foot connected with her face.
"Kurenai." Asuma yelled before passing out.
Kakashi made the seals for Chidori and charge at the Battousai. Quicker then Kakashi realize the Battousai was holding his risk and the chidori faded.
"I told Kurenai B-Class Ninjutsu or Genjutsu won't work on me." Then Kakashi felt his wrist getting snapped.
The Battousai quickly disappeared as ANBU arrived.
The ANBU was in shock to see three elites so badly wounded. Kakashi was holding his wrist trying not to scream.
Konoha Hospital
The Hospital was shock to see three elites being brought in.
Kurenai had little damage done but Asuma was in critical condition. Kakashi was easily healed.
Tsunade and Shizune were working on Asuma trying to save him from dying.
After three hours of working on Asuma they finally manage to get him out of danger. Kurenai and Kakashi look down in shame. The Battousai easily over powered them.
Sitting on the Fourths head was the Battousai. He could see ANBU searching the hotels and houses for him.
He lean back and watch the clouds.
'I hope I don't turn into Shikamaru.'
Hokage office
Tsunade sat down behind her desk. Asuma was fine but he was going to be out for a while.
"So what happen?" Tsunade ask the two Jounin's.
"I was walking towards the Dumping shop to pick up some dango for Anko when Asuma and I saw Kakashi there. We started talking when we notice a hooded sitting there. We all knew he wasn't part of the village and I thought it could be Akatsuki again. After he left we followed him to Kakashi's old team training ground. There we confronted him and he knew us by our names. After he showed us who he was he quickly took us down." Kurenai said.
"Who is he?" Tsunade asked. This time Kakashi spoke.
"The Battousai."
Tsunade elbows broke the desk. The Battousai was a legendary mask man. He was first known in Mist three years ago. He was train with two members or the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. In doing so he created his own style of swordsmanship. He then killed the Mizukage Sandaime after being there for six months. Mist's thank him greatly and the Battousai selected a Yondaime Mizukage for them who would bring Mist back to its prime. He then travel around the shinobi villages looking for work and techniques. It was rumor his eye could rival the Sharingan. Two years ago Orochimaru made him a S-Class Criminal for massacring half of his villages forces. Orochimaru fought him only to run in defeat. Sound Village was nearly reduced to nothing because of the Battousai. Rock and Lighting was trying to get an alliance with Sound only for the Battousai to neglect it. He showed up at one of Rock's training ground and killed 300 Jounin's. Three days after that he kill 400 Lighting Jounin's. He was a man to be truly afraid of.
Tsunade rub her temple and decided to see how strong he truly was.
"Bring ANBU Captain of Squad 9."
Kakashi and Kurenai nodded.
Thirty minutes later, an ANBU Captain with a tiger mask walk in.
"Your mission is to find and capture the man known as the Battousai. Find him and make sure he doesn't leave the village."
"Hai Hokage-sama."
The ANBU Captain left and Jiraiya pop in the window.
"Oh, work keeping you up?" Jiraiya joke.
"Not now Jiraiya, the Battousai showed up and defeated three of my elites."
Jiraiya fell down.
"The Battousai is here. Tsunade what did you do?"
"I sent the ANBU Captain of Squad 9 after him."
"Tsunade, you must not provoke him. We do not want an incident like Rock, Lighting, and Sound. Mist is loyal to the Battousai and owes him much for recreating the Seven Shinobi of the Mist and brining them back to power. Not to mention he single handily defeated Akatsuki and made Grass, Rain and Waterfall a single village."
It was true, last year conflicts were rising between those three villages and the Battousai showed up and united them. The village was now known as Tree Water village.
Konoha streets
A hooded cloak figure stop as the kunai barely miss him. He without looking at his attacker he said in a calm voice.
"Uchiha...Sasuke."
