Mission 08 : Hunter, Predator and Reaper
"The Hunter is a trained man, the predator is natural and cunning, the Reaper is the end to all things regardless of morality, absolutes or not."
Kyoto, Japan - Total Mission Time : 10 days
Dante, Ray, Dexter, Jack and Naruto walked towards a cave at the end of a grassland. Ray gave a signal and the men stopped, Ray then said "Saya is tending to the rear to prevent interference from chiropterans and youma, Naruto, undo the seal." Naruto nodded as the others got into a fighting stance. Dante held Rebellion right, Dexter pulled out a bladeless katana grip and pressed a red button on the grip's side and under the hilt, as if it was a trigger. An orange and stable energy pulse took the shape of a perfect blade, the air shimmering due to the intense heat of the pulseblade.
Naruto began forming various handsigns and flashed into the Nine Tails Chakra Mode, glimmering orange in the night and bearing the marks of the Rikudo Sennin. After nearly a minute of handsigns and chants, Naruto slammed his hand into the ground and shouted "Demonic Seal of the Queen, Release!"
Silence gleamed as Jack drew his sword in formal stance and he waited for whatever was to come. A burst of wind blew out the cave and Ray lifted his hand. A broadsword with a slightly demonic hilt, which had two black metallic spikes which grew in number slowly as the hilt seemed to grow like a plant until six spikes facing slightly up in a fashion similar to Rebellion but with the spikes going up as if they were straight and were bent up slightly.
Walking out of the cave was a woman with somewhat of a gingerbread styled hair, rose-red, her eyes glowed crimson red and from her glare was an intent to kill which shuddered Naruto despite him being in the nine tails chakra mode.
Ray wasted no time and gripped his hand causing lighting to flow about both his hands and his sword, before the end of a second his entire body was sending erratic pulses of lighting, tens of thousands of short lived but moderately distances arcs which began to scorch the ground below him and shimmered the air in incredible heat, surpassing the heat from Dexter's pulseblade.
The Girl seemed no older than 15 but the glare in her eyes and her expression gave off the impression that she was older than that. Black wings flew out her back and they flapped once. Her crimson red armor was shaped demonically but her face and hands were exactly like a human's. Her facial shape was definitely Japanese but still radiating from her stare and armor was an incredible demonic presence.
Ray continued to dash and Dante followed, Naruto, Dexter and Jack respectively also charged with their weapons at the woman. Ray flickered above the woman and sent his blade, Hunter, driving straight down as if he intended to kill her, she merely flickered above Ray and her wings turned into black steel talons and she impaled Ray in 30 different angles.
Dante drove Rebellion against the ground, charged it with red demonic energy and drove it forward, sending a burst of energy towards Kasane who merely jumped up at an incredible pace, detaching her impaling talons and her wings burst forth once more. The Driver slammed into Ray slicing him clean in half, but his sword, Hunter glowed red and Ray jumped out of it as if it were some kind of magical mirror, he grabbed his blade and one of it's sides condensed and shaped like a katana, the blade shifted to the center and he slung it behind him in reverse hold, he said then "Hunters are below Predators.".
Teto was enraged and flew in zigzags, sending massive air currents at Ray who flickered constantly out of the way. Naruto formed a slight purple but mostly black sphere the size of a truck with two extended chakra arms and condensed it into the size of a baseball, he than jumped up and slammed his hand into it as if it were a soccer ball, sending a massive red bolt which used to be the black sphere flying directly at Kasane. Naruto gripped his hand and the bolt exploded with a furious red sphere of devastation.
Teto fell down but shortly after the blast receded she spiraled into the ground and later emerged beneath Dexter who imploded to a point with a circular orange flash and appeared six yards behind his previous location, much to Teto's dismay, resulting in her eyes glowing brighter.
Teto stretched her hands out and formed two spheres of red lighting, one each hand. Teto slammed them into the air, one at Dante and the other at Jack. The Spheres sent hundreds of red arcs of lighting at the two, Dante devil triggered in order to survive the onslaught whilst Jack slammed his blade into the ground causing a blue sphere to form around him which effortlessly withstood the lighting arcs.
Ray gripped Predator and the blade partially turned into a metal pole with a scythe blade at the top, the bottom of the scythe pole seemed to be hollow and Ray snapped a chain to this part of the weapon. Ray then shouted "Kasane! Reap what you sow!". Kasane turned towards Ray in a fury of anger and began slicing the air with her newly grown talons which sent concentrated arc shaped air torrents towards Ray who flickered behind Teto, swinging Reaper with the intent to decapitate her.
Teto flickered behind Ray and flew her talons at him in swipes, intending to eviscerate him. But before she could hit him, Naruto was in Sage Mode and slammed two Rasengans into Teto, sending her flying across the grasslands as Naruto shouted "Dual Rasengan Barrage!".
Teto sneered and flickered out of sight. Ray shouted "Naruto, scour the surrounding forest with Kage-Bunshin. When you see her, summon us around her so we can commence the barrier, I'll brief the other Immortals as fast as I can!". Naruto nodded and dispersed Sage Mode and formed one hundred Kage-Bunshin and they all flashed around the forest, all but the Original Naruto who began forming handsigns.

Dawn rose and Teto was drinking water from a stream, breathing heavily and pouring water on her wounds, which seemed to heal them like some form of medical ninjustu. She clenched her teeth and said to herself "Their too powerful together, I need to Divide them and take them out one by one.".
Teto gasped and flew straight up as a Kage-Bunshin slammed a Rasengan into the stream before dispersing himself.
Naruto opened his eyes and said "Found her, I'll use the Fujin Raijin and get us there.". The Immortals readied their weapons and blinked with yellow flashes similiar to Dexter's previous Hyperspatial jump.
Teto clenched her teeth and flew at hypersonic speed towards Mt. Fuji as yellow flashes began flashing across the forest.
The flashes flickered again at the spot Teto was and Ray looked at the mountain which a small puff of snow seemed to burst from a spot. Ray pointed and said "Naruto, Let me handle this one.". Ray walked behind the others and slammed his palms together, forming green arcs of lighting and slammed them into the other Immortals, sucking them into the bolts, he then shot them ahead at the mountain and swirled into a single point

Ray swirled back into form behind the other Immortals who stood ready whilst facing Teto who glared again at them with incredible killing intent. Ray pulled out Reaper and said "Buy me time, I'll curse her." Naruto nodded and formed sixty Kage-Bunshin with rushed at Teto, Dante sent a driver at her, Dexter pulled out a purple and orange painted M60A2 Light Machinegun and opened fire at Teto, the gun fired red darts of energy instead of bullets which slammed into the snow with red surges of electricity flowing across the very conductive snow as Teto dodged them with flickers.
Ray attached his chain to Reaper and began rushing at Teto with Jack alongside him. Jack began slashing across which Teto blocked with her talons or dodged with flickers or dashes. Ray threw Reaper at Teto which she blocked with a talon and latched onto Reaper which Ray pulled back towards him with this chain which also pulled Teto with it. Ray shouted "Jashin Curse:Dual Suicide!". A red circle with a glowing pattern formed underneath Ray as Teto detached her talons clung onto Reaper. Ray pulled back Reaper, grabbed it and flickered behind Teto whilst slashing indiscriminately and seemingly senseless. Teto continued to dodge or block the attacks and noticed the others kept their distance. Teto made a mistake and was cut lightly by Reaper which Ray then pulled back, cutting Teto again. Ray dashed to his circle and licked the blood on Reaper, his body turned jet black with bone like patterns across it. Ray pulled out a metal rod and Jack flickered in front of him as Teto widened her eyes and flickered to Ray's side, sending a powerful kick to his side which flung him across the mountain whilst his body returned to normal. Teto then rapidly flung a roundhouse kick at Jack and shouted in pain and grabbed her side, the same place where she kicked Ray. Teto sneered and jumped up and shot red lighting at the circle, destroying it and the snow under it.
Ray grinned as Teto gasped and turned her head behind her, noticing Naruto slamming his palm into her back whilst shouting "Freezing Crystal Barrier: First Mark!". Teto roundhouse kicked Naruto whilst in midair, sending him flying into the hard cold granite of Mt. Fuji. Ray recovered and pulled out a M870 Combat Shotgun and shaped Reaper into Hunter and dashed towards Teto. Dante also dashed at Teto and drove Rebellion into her side and flipped midair and landed on her back, pushing her off and forward into the snow with Rebellion slicing through her side and leaving gaping wound on her left side.
Teto's wound began to heal fast as Naruto dashed at her with two Rasengans which Teto flung two talons at. Her talons were ripped to shreds but they absorbed the force of both Rasengans. Teto ducked and slammed her foot into Naruto's "Weak Spot" causing him to fly up into the air screaming at the top of his lungs, obviously in excruciating pain.
Dexter fired a barrage from his M60 and Teto flayed her remaining four talons across, intercepting the pulse darts whilst being scorched slightly by each hit. Teto jumped up as the darts blasted off the talons. Dante drew Ivory and Ebony and fired a barrage at Teto who quickly wrapped her wings around herself and stiffened them like a metal sheet. The bullets blasted against the wings with no effect and Dante formed Artemis on his right Arm and charged a multi-shot as Teto slowly fell to the ground as her wings were not sustaining her flight.
Dante fired the demonic bolts which blasted Teto from multiple angles, sending her flying down with relaxed wings into the snow. Ray shifted in front of Dante and aimed his shotgun single-handedly at Teto and fired it with the resulting recoil sending the gun straight up.
Teto screamed as the buckshot hit into her. She rolled away and backflipped to her feet whilst facing Naruto who formed a Futon:Rasen-Shuriken. Teto clenched her teeth and shuddered constantly, being near her limit.
Naruto began surging the Kyuubi's chakra into the Rasen-Shuriken which turned the justu a reddish orange tint and threw it towards Teto who drove herself into the ground as the Shuriken exploded above her newly made tunnel with the force of six Rasen-Shurikens in the same blast radius of a normal Rasen-Shuriken.
Teto drove again foot first into Naruto's "Weak Spot" and sent him yet again flying into the air yelling at the top of his lungs. Teto smirked just before a Rasengan slammed into her back and sent her flying towards Ray who slammed his right palm into her stomach, stopping her from spiraling further into the ground. Ray shouted as he did so, saying "Freezing Crystal Barrier;Second Mark!".
Teto dropped to the ground, sobbing and motionless as Ray looked down at her.
The others flickered to the area as Ray said "Guess we overestimated her, stand down. I'll break the seals."
Ray made four handsigns and said Freezing Crystal Barrier: Cancel.". Ray reached his hand out to Teto who lifted her head to look at it in confusion before grabbing it as Ray pulled her up to her feet. Teto shortly thereafter collapsed onto Ray who held her up and said "I knew you would be so enraged that you would ignore any words from us, But now the fight is over, worry not. We mean you no real harm." Teto gripped onto Ray's shoulders and said softly "I don't believe you, but I have no choice but to hear you out."
Ray nodded and said "Alright, I'll give you time to trust us, but we only have a week before a Shinjin's life is endangered.". Teto's eyes widened and she said "I understand. I'll help you as soon as I recover, but don't expect me to trust humans, not after what happened.". Ray sighed and said "That happened five hundred years ago, but still I understand your pain, so does Naruto, most of all him. But we'll respect you and your rights, your choices will be your own.". Teto fell unconscious as Ray picked her up and held her over his shoulder and looked at Naruto who formed a handsign and said "Fujin Raijin."
The Immortals flickered in yellow flashes.
