CHAPTER TEN: THE EIGHTH SWORDSMAN OF THE MIST

A team one adult and three children traveled through the thick forest of the Rice Field Country. Their mission was to find and infiltrate the Fuuma clan.

Less than three years ago, the clan rebelled against Sound. Orochimaru, seeing them as weaklings, ignored it. What could one clan do against a powerful village anyway?

And as the popular cliché said "Never underestimate your enemies," it blew in front of their faces.

The Fuuma clan sought help from other villages among them is Konohakagure[1]. In return, the traitor gathered information and gave it to their allies. This hadn't affected Otokagakure until now.

The recent attack on the Uchiha was clearly one of the effects. It was a great surprise for the whole village.

Impossible!

Uchiha was considered to be one of village's strongest ninjas. He was trained by Orochimaru-sama himself and his bloodline limit was greatly feared. His team comprised of the best ones since he wouldn't tolerate incompetence.

This brought them to one conclusion. Someone had infiltrated the village.

And after a long search, they finally found the traitor, a nin from the very clan they considered weak. He never surrendered any information beside the fact he's a Fuuma. He was quite strong lasted for a few days before dying.

The Snake immediately dispatched a group to find what the stupid clan is up too, which bring us back to the four figures earlier.

The jounin-sensei never liked children. He didn't know why he's even tolerating them.

But he had to admit, these children had the potential. They could be powerful tools for the village.

#Sensei, this forest is deserted right?# the female asked

#Yes.#

#Then how come there's a light over there?# the youngest said while pointing at a certain direction.

The jounin-sensei followed their gazes. They were right this forest was supposed to be deserted.

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i

Sirius watched as the flash of light made contact with its target. He smirked as he saw the shock and surprise on Orochimaru.

'I did it!'

POOF.

At the sound, the smirk was disappeared from his face.

'A log...where?'

#Ah, what a surprise Severus-san, I was wondering when you'll use your that wand,# Orochimaru's voice echoed through the room.

#You ...#

#Of course. Now tell me how's the wizarding world? It's been quite a while since I heard from the Ministry of Magic,# the sannin continued.

'Hell. He knew about me, but how? And more importantly, where is he?' Sirius' mind screamed

#I have very low opinion regarding you kind. Wizards and witches tends to rely too much on theirs wands-#

A moan broke Orochimaru's speech.

#Sasuke!#

For the first time, Sirius noticed the unconscious body on the floor. He immediately ran towards the boy.

#What the bloody hell you did to him? How could you do this to him? He's your subordinate.#

#So these gay rumors about you and Sasuke have a basis. You seem to care a lot for the boy,# the voice taunted.

#You coward. Show yourself.#

Laughter filled the room.

"That was courageous of you, at the same time very stupid. If I do show myself, what will you do? Chant, wave and point with the stick of yours? It takes more than that to defeat a ninja. And Severus-san, I'm not just an ordinary ninja"

A black hole suddenly appeared a few feet in front of Sirius.

"But I admire you Severus-san. You have the natural talent as a shinobi. If you were trained properly you'd make a formidable ally," the figure said as he comes out of the black hole.

#And what are you implying?# Black said as he pointed the wand directly at Orochimaru.

#You were able to pull pranks even on the most alert nins. You stole Sasuke-kun's wallet. You managed get out of the village yet with no one noticing you. And now you're here, how did you manage elude those jounins? They were the most promising of my tools. What magic did you used?#

#And why would I tell you?# Sirius replied.

Orochimaru smiled before replying.

#Though I find your kind weak, I can't be helped but be intrigued by you're so called witchcraft and wizardry. For example I'm most interested with The Sorcerer's Stone.#

#You're too late. Someone had already destroyed it,# the wizard spat.

#Oh really, too bad. But I have a proposal for you. Why don't you join me instead?

I can see you have shown great interest on our arts. They'll be very useful in the near future. And in return, I ask you to teach me your art as well.#

Orochimaru was right. Ninja arts had proven to be very useful. Sirius used it to escape his guards.

He could use it against Voldemort and the Deatheaters. He'll be able to avenge the death of his friends and everyone who died in the war. And finally the wizarding would be at peace.

If Sirius had been a weak man, he would have accepted the offer. But of course, weak was the last word that can be used in describing the remaining member of noble Black family.

#I'd rather die.#"

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i

Sirius' eyes jerked open. He immediately tried to sit up but pain racked his body. He decided to lie down for a while. His mind was flooded with questions.

'Where am I? Am I dead? What happened? How did I get here?'

After a few minutes, he managed to move into a sitting position despite his body's protests.

'I'm in cave?'

He tried to recall the events. He ditched his guards and returned to the Sound Village using the POOF jutsu. Then he found the wand and his mirror at Sasuke's room and proceeded to look for the boy. He found Oro-creep and Chicken-rime in a spacious eerie room using a spell and one of the boy's possessions. Then …

'Wait. I found the wand and the mirror at Uchiha Sasuke's room. Is that how Orochimaru found out that I'm a wizard? No, the man said that I was wondering when will be using my wand. That means the boy never told anyone. Why? Wait, where is Sasuke?'

He looked around. Because of the darkness he can barely see anything. He reached for his pockets. To his relief, he still had his wand.

#Lumos.#

As the light filled the room, he saw a figure a few feet away from him. Sure enough, it was Sasuke. As he reached for the boy to wake him up, a kunai shot out of no where.

"Look's like I'm in for a nice promotion."

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i

'Orochimaru-sama, will be very pleased with this,' the jounin smirked when he saw the look of horror on Snape' face.

"Sensei, what is he holding?" one of his student asked while pointing at the stick the other man was holding.

Suddenly, the bright light disappeared from the stick and the cave was enveloped with darkness, making for them impossible see a thing.

'He's smart.'

He has heard much about Snape, though he was not "fortunate", as the others would say it, to meet him personally. Now that he had seen the man, the stories proved to be more than just exaggerated rumors.

A flash of light bolted him out of his reverie. He immediately ducked but not letting it out of his sight. Then spark suddenly disappeared and there was a loud thump.

'Damn it.'

Then the room was suddenly filled with light. It was his prized pupil. The boy used a fire jutsu.

"Sensei!"

The young kunoichi was standing beside a body. Recognizing it as one of his pupils he immediately approached her.

"What's wrong with him?"

He ignored the question. Instead…

"You two, look for him."

His team nodded and scouted the area. He continued to study the unconscious boy.

At first, he thought the boy was dead. The body was stiff as a rock but there were signs of life like how the lad's eyes swirled. These symptoms were effect of body-binding jutsus and drugs.

'Could it be that Snape is a ninja from another village?'

#YOU LET ME GO.#

He turned around and saw his pupils caught the man.

"Tie him up."

He slowly scrutinized the surroundings, looking for other threats. According to the report, someone had helped the Snape. They first suspected was another spy but it turn outs more than that. Kabuto-sama deduced that the ninja was the Fuuma's contact. The infiltrator was the one who passes the vital information to the other villages. Excellent strategy since the spy does not need to get out of the village. Giving the area one last look, he noticed the white fog swiftly filling the cavern.

He was about to warn his students when a senbon protruded his neck.

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i

As the mist entered the cave, Sirius thought of transforming into a dog. With his senses can find Sasuke and escape. But he stopped himself. What if the mist cleared while he transforms? Even if Oro-creep knew he's a wizard he still thought it's best to lay low. He wouldn't like to attract another evil, creepy lunatic on his tail. Voldemort and Orochimaru were already enough.

THUMP.

'One.'

THUMP.

And everything was black.

'That must be the boy with the fire jutsu," he concluded.

THUMP.

After hearing the last body fell to the ground, Sirius decided that was now or never. He summoned his strength to take the risk. But he stopped when he felt someone lifting him from the ground. Then he felt the air rushing into his face.

Sudden brightness erupted that he was forced to close his eyelids. After a few minutes, his eyes opened, slowly adjusting to the light. He looked up saw flames and smoke a few meters from them. Turning to his right side he saw the unconscious Uchiha.

'Wow, this ninja must really be strong if he can carry the both of us.'

And they finally stopped in the middle of the forest. Sirius's body collided to the ground.

#Ouch, I know I'm heavy but you don't have to throw me like some garbage,# he complained.

#For someone whom I had just save his life, you sure are grateful,# the mysterious guy said.

Sirius was about to retort some more when he realized something.

#You… you speak English,# he pointed at the man.

#Yes, I speak English. Is there something wrong with that?# the man said before crossing his hands

#But… ninjas don't…#

#Yeah, I'm one of the rare English speaking ninjas, so what?#

Sirius looked at the ninja. The man was tall in his long plain black coat. His black hair was long enough to move along the wind. His face was covered with a white mask with black and red markings though.

'This man saved our lives. What is he up to?'

"Who are you?"

#You don't have any plan to thank me, huh,# the man sighed. #Sorry I can't. I'm not allowed to divulge information to you.#

#Why?#

The other man seemed to be getting annoyed at Black. It took him a while before he replied.

#Follow me,# the shinobi said before turning around.

#I won't.#

#Your friend needs medical attention, doesn't he?#

#Sasuke!#

Sirius immediately approached the boy.

'He's burning with fever. Why didn't I notice it before?'

#So are you coming or not?#

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i

After walking for what seemed like an eternity, they reached their destination.

#There,# the nin pointed at the clearing.

Sirius followed his hand. He saw a small house with a little garden in it.

#Go to that house and ask for help.#

#You're not coming with us? How can I be sure that this is not some trap?"#

#Trust me,# the ninja replied before disappearing in a poof.

#Hey come back here, I can't speak Japanese,# the wizard shouted.

#I'm sure you can manage,# the voice echoed through the forest.

#HEY DON'T LEAVE ME HERE.#

No one answered.

'Great. What I am going to do now?'

He looked at Sasuke who was currently lying under the nearby tree. He knew that he can't leave the boy nor he could bring him with him. Apparating might worsen his condition. He gazed at the cottage that the ninja mentioned earlier. Somehow despite the protests of his logical mind, his heart believed the nameless shinobi. As if he knew the guy all his life.

Sometimes one needs to take risks for the people take care about. Sirius Black hoped that this risk is better be worth taking.

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
