Chapter 22

Vortex Beasts

"We're here.", Jord said.

"The Waterfall village?", asked Chronos.

"Yes, the Waterfall village, they've had some recent attacks by mysterious monsters.", an ANBU agent replied.

And right after the ANBU said it, they were surrounded by white looking monsters that were skinny and had sharp claws, and teeth. Their fur coat was as white as snow, and they could've easily been 6 feet tall, and were approaching the ninja slowly.

There were hundreds of them, and it was a good thing Jord had been practicing his water techniques.

Jord jumped onto the body of water surrounding the waterfall, and did some hand signs.

"Water Vortex Jutsu!!"

The other ninja jumped behind Jord, and HIM fell in the water.

Water spun around in front of Jord in an arch form, and it acted like a cannon and blasted water out and pushed the monsters back. The ANBU jumped up and threw out kunai and shuriken that struck and killed the beasts, and Chronos ran forward to one of the and tapped it on the chest, and it went up in flames. And Chronos did a back flip back in the water. The fire seemed to be contagious, it caught whatever beast went near that body.

"Katon: Gokakyuu No Jutsu!"

"WIND SCYTHE JUTSU!!!"

HIM and Jord seemingly teamed up their jutsu and when the fireball was in front of the wind it made the ball of fire larger, and it exploded and killed over half of the beasts. There was only three left now, and one of the ANBU leaped forward and pulled out one of his katanas and yelled, "Konoha Style: Mikazuki No Mai!!!"

He slashed through the final three with ease, and their foes were dead.

"Let's head inside.", Chronos advised.

They entered the village and met the leader.

"They have made a threat today. The threat was if anymore of the Vortex Beasts were killed, the leader of them would come.", The leader said shakily.

"Vortex Beasts, this is what they're called?", MinMin asked.

"Yes, they came with the name.", The leader explained.

"Came with the na-", The ANBU's words were smothered by the sound of screaming, and explosions. The ninjas got ready and walked outside.

They saw something the never saw before, a man with wings flying in the sky with something that was firing some small metal pellets at fast speeds, causing bleeding to whatever it hit, and it was almost an instant kill.

"What the hell is that?!", One of the ANBU asked. The man that was once in the air dropped to the ground put up his weapon and fired at the ANBU who asked, and he was shaking and he fell and he was in a pool of blood almost instantly, you could tell he was dead.

The man who fired stood up straight. He had a red scarf that covered from his nose to his neck. He had dark blonde hair that was spiked. He wore plated black gloves. He wore a long sleeve shirt that was black and cape that around the neck was a zipper, that was zipped up to hold it around his neck. His pant's had a lot of pockets down the legs, and that was black as well.

"What are you doing here Konoha Ninja?", The man asked.

"What's it to you?" Chronos asked.

"Hello, Sostantivo…" The man scoffed.

"And you are?", Jord interrogated.

"You can call me, Z.", Z implied.

"Well, Z, What are you doing to these people?", Jord asked.

"Taking out frustration, but now that you guys are here.", Z smiled deviously.

Z rose his weapon, and transformed the other hand into what look like a gigantic gun.

He fired directly at Chronos. Chronos froze time, no one knew what he was doing. When time resumed, Z was on the ground, mouth busted open.

"Bastard…", Chronos said to Z, and spat on him.

"Ugh…So you're the Chronos I…impersonated…"

"WHAT?!", Chronos was shocked to hear what he did.

"Why do you think your clan left this dimension without you? Because, I was Chronos, until those people found out and kicked me out.", Z explained.

"WHAT?!", HIM repeated.

"HIM, stay out of this.", Jord ordered, his ANBU mask off now.

"So you impersonated me to get out of this dimension?"

"Yes…Because I watched and assaulted your clan for a while, and I heard the elders talking, and they said that the clan would be weak after switching dimensions…", Z began to explain, "And I took advantage of it! I killed most of them, and I disposed of the elders are dead.", Z began to chuckle maniacally.

"You idiot! You screwed everything up!", Chronos turned around and began swearing under his breath.

"What?! Of course, that was my intention. And if I have one Sostantivo left to kill, I will do so!!!", Z lunged at Chronos, and his arm with the fast firing weapon transformed into a 9 foot sword, and he lunged in to stab Chronos, and he didn't even move.

MinMin zipped in front of Chronos, pulled out a kunai and attempted to block the blade.

It softened the blow, but didn't completely stop it. It stabbed through MinMin's stomach and barely made it to Chronos.

Jord's eyes widened and his Mangekyou Sharingan activated.

Z eyes widened and his pupils went foggy.

Z was on a large wooden wall, and Jord was standing in front of him with dark robes and a hood covering his face. Jord held up two katanas and stabbed Z with force. Everything spun around for Z and now there were two of him. And over a hundred Jords, and they all moved in slowly and began to stab him, Jord decided to halt the rest of the illusion.

Jord gasped for air, followed by Z who was still in shock.

Z's sword was out of MinMin by now and he transformed it back to a gun.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!?!", Z shrieked pointing the weapon at Jord and firing. Jord burst into water, and melted.

"Hunh?", Z seemed confused.

Jord was behind Z, smiling, and he stabbed Z through his chest. And Z dropped, and blood surrounded him, the vortex beasts terrorizing the village retreated with their masters dead body.

"Our work here is done.", Jord said, he looked at MinMin who was on the ground holding her wound. He lifted her up and supported her as they left the village, one of the ANBU picked up the other dead ANBU agent and headed back to Konoha, it was smooth sailing .

Once they were back in, Tsunade healed them, and MinMin was set in the hospital to recover from the blood loss.

"So, Jord, how'd the mission go?", Tsunade asked.

"Fine…", Jord said, staring at the floor of the office.

"Are you injured?", Tsunade continued.

"Not really, a few cuts and bruises, nothing major.", Jord explained, and he left the office with no goodbyes.
