Path of a Ninja

Chapter 4 - Summoning

INTRO

Hiroku was praying. He couldn't see what was happening, the smoke was too thick. He was mazed at the courage it must have taken, to save ones enemy. And then he saw it. The stumbling hero, walking through the cloud.

Joel Shinatai Rionn, emerged from the heat with a black haired woman draped across his shoulders..

"Now lets stop this Volcano."

PART 1

Joel laid the girl down on a boulder, she was lighter then the others. He dismissed his clone and prepared himself. He picked up a large scroll, and spread it across the ground. He sat in the center of it, drew blood from his arm, and placed his hand on the ground.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

PART 2

Joel's summoning Jutsu was unnatural. When he summoned it, it was him who changed. He resembled that of his father. A man with dark wavy hair, and a long white cloak and hood, covering his face in shadow. He didn't speak, and he held in his hand a long black tanto blade with a chain on its handle. If Hiroku Blinked he wouldn't have seen what happened afterwards.

The man turned around and nodded to Hiroku. Leaving only a dust and shred of grass the man moved at an insane speed that was nearly invisible to the naked eye. He stood atop the Volcano sword in both hands held vertically from his chest to his hands.

PART 3

He brought the sword high above his head and it began to glow with a white shine. He floated in midair and swung downwards in 4 directions, creating a star of wind based chakra flying straight downward. In hit the lava and hardened it completely and sealed the chakra.

Joel reappeared in front of Hiroku, and passed out.

PART 4

Joel came to in a small clearing. The lava ninja had agreed to a truce, after giving them supplies in thanks for saving their lives. Hiroku didn't know what happened and the second Joel came to he ran over to ask him.

"What was that!?!? You were like insanely powerful! And... Fast!" he shouted.

Joel sighed with a smile and told him of his Summoning technique. It allowed him to completely transform into his summoning, the spirit of his father. The greatest downfall to this technique was due to the fact that it completely sapped his energy, and damaged his body the longer he used it.

Joel sat in front of the fire wrapped in bandages. He ate ramen from his bowl and sat cross legged.

"I'm joining the war." he said to Hiroku that morning. He had received a message from the Mountain Village that War was declared with the Stone Village, and he knew he had to fight.

Hiroku quickly replied. "I'm coming with you."

PART 5

For a month they healed, traveled, and trained. They arrived to a sight of massacre. A battle had just been fought, and they were too late on arrival. Bloody bodies littered the grounds, both sides picking up the lost friends.

Joel walked solemnly across the grounds. He soon found his Kage, and he was given his orders.

Him and Hiroku were to leave, and assassinate the enemy general.

PART 6

Joel and Hiroku bowed with a muttered, "Hai." They set off and by nightfall arrived at the enemy camp. They found the path leading to the General's tent, in a secluded area. Joel entered the tent and was stared in the eyes.

By his mother.
