Chapter 26

The Killings

Jord was walking by Ichiraku, his back began hurting, and at this point his true self, fainted. This demon part of himself began walking around. Wings sprouted out of his back, his fingers grew about 8 inches long, and he grew about a foot., and his arms grew longer, along with his hands.

He slouched as he walked and his arms were hanging almost to the grounds, a few Jonin saw this beast, and commanded it to stop, it disobeyed, and glared down at them, and smiled deviously.

They pulled out their swords, and went to slice him, but the demon flew into the sky and swooped down grabbing one of them, the demons hands were being stabbed but nothing happened, the demon landed, and grabbed him by the forehead, and a power in the head of the Jonin burst through the back of his head and he died instantaneously.

The other Jonin backed into a wall near Ichiraku, and the manager was about to leave when he saw the demon lift up the Jonin, and make the inside of his head explode.

The manager ran into Ichiraku and locked himself in.

He was now in the next night. He was by the ANBU as they continued investigating, and Jord turned into the hideous demon. The demon walked out of the dark and made him visible, the ANBU leaped to subdue the beast and threw everything they had at him, and the demon thrust himself forward, grabbed two ANBU by the head, and their heads exploded and the back of their heads were opened.

The rest of the ANBU met the same fate, all except for one that ran away, and it didn't seem to catch the demons eye.

The ANBU was behind an alley until morning, the demon began to slowly transform into Jord as he walked towards MinMin house, and Jord was back, but was asleep on her door step.

The flashback had ended, and Jord came to he was on the side of MinMin's house head on the siding, crying, he'd never imagined killing so many innocents.

MinMin walked out her door in her ANBU uniform that was the same as Jord's, but, it had a lion looking mask than a cat. She looked sad, and she put on her mask, pulled black funeral robes over her armor.

It began to rain.

Jord stood up, and walked towards the Hokage's office, and there was a large group of people there, celebrating the lives of the victims of Jord's demon. Tsunade began to speak about them in front of the coffins, and she looked at Jord, and he took it as a "go to my office" command, and left without anyone knowing.

He walked into her office, and there was Chronos, MinMin, HIM, Gai, and Kira.

Jord walked in slowly, and MinMin didn't want to look at him. Jord walked into a corner and sat in a chair.

About an hour later, after people ignoring Jord, Tsunade walked in with Shizune.

"So…", Tsunade began, "We have some sort of enemy coming, and we don't know how to stop it."

"And how do you know this?", Jord said, being cocky.

"Because, there was a blue glow, and smoke, and when we sent several ANBU squads, they never came back."

"I could go check it out.", Jord suggested.

"Oh really? And are you going to do that alone?", MinMin said in anger.

Jord looked down, he didn't really smile at all during this meeting.

"I suggest we all go and check it out!", Gai said after a few seconds of silence.

"I agree.", Chronos said.

"Yes, yes it's decided, go now, and report back.", Tsunade ordered, and with a swish of her arm the ninja were off.

On the trip to the site, everyone completely ignored Jord, as they spoke to each other.

"Here we are.", MinMin said.

There was a blue ring with several lines and symbols in it, it was glowing rather bright, a few ANBU fell out of the trees.

"Thank the lord you're here, we thought we were dead!", One of the ANBU said shakily.

"What do you mean?", Gai asked.

"There was a m-man in dark robes, t-that, was, scary…", The ANBU struggled with the words, and he dropped after he said it, and he had a katana in his back.

The ninja looked up.

"Hello again, Uchiha.", Death said focusing on Jord.

"Hello.", Everyone repeated simultaneously.

"Say…Uchiha…", Death began and smirked, "Would you step on this circle?"

Jord glanced at it, and out of the air, six different size and gender ninja manifested, and they were dead, but cleaned up.

"No.", Jord said.

Death jumped out of the way of something. No one saw what it was, until twelve shuriken appeared on the ground where Death was once standing.

"Nice trick.", Death said as he stared behind him and he jumped on to his own circle. But nothing happened to him.

"Two at a time, eh?", Death said jumping twice now, he looked like he was dancing, on his own circle. It finally stopped after a few minutes.

"You can come out now, Jord!", Death called in a playful voice.

Within the group Jord smirked slightly, un noticeable to anyone.

"BUT JORD'S RIGHT HERE, OH GOSH I'M SURROUNDED BY A BUNCH OF DIMWITS!!!!", HIM shrieked, as his voice echoed through the forest and the crows flapped away.

"No he's not.", Jord stated as a large puff of smoke blew past them.

Death smiled deviously.

The smoke cleared and Loss was in Jord's spot, smiling.

"WHOA? A DOPPELGANGER?!", HIM asked in his normal tone.

"No, HIM, I am Loss.", Loss answered politely, staring at his brother.

"OH I GET IT!!!", HIM said shaking his head yes, and it slowly turned into a no.

"BUH BYE DEATH!!", HIM shrieked running at Death.

"Death Style: Death Wind Slice…", Death mumbled as he tapped HIM on the shoulder and wind blew him back, and he had fainted, as his right shoulder was chopped, and he was bleeding. Loss had caught him, and layed him down, and stepped over his body.

"Death, you're crazy to be doing this."

"NO, SHUT UP!!", He sounded as if he were a kid throwing a fit.

"You were once such a good kid Death, and instead f that dumb name that you were given, it used to be…", Loss stopped.

"NO, STOP DON'T DO THAT!!!", Death shrieked, running at his brother so fast no one saw, they saw a foot flying at Loss' side, and he went flying into a tree.

"You're real name…", Loss coughed, "was…Gratitude."

Chronos held back a laugh.

"I told you not to idiot…", Death warned, as he backed up onto his circle, and more kunai and things flew at him, he did a back flip doing hand signs.

"Death Style: Death Disease Epidemic!"

The air grew dark, and more thick, like a black fog came through. Everything was soupy.

"Everyone, get to the water, and use an air technique to stay under.", Loss commanded.

Everyone jumped into the water, and Jord jumped out of the tree.

It was a standoff, but they knew it couldn't last to long because of the ninja underwater.

"You better get under too Jord…", Loss stopped himself and smirked then turned around.

"So, Jord, you're willing to risk yourself out here? Oh well, the more the easier!", Death did more hand signs, "Kokuangyou No Jutsu!"

The grass began to fade from sight as the field became dark. No one could see anything, the water faded from sight as well. Nothing was seen, or heard. The field became completely dark. This was an old jutsu used by Orochimaru in the fight with the Hokage, it was known as the Dark Field Technique.

Jord was on his guard, and was kicked into Loss, but poofed before he hit and the smoke blew into Loss.

"Kai, RELEASE!!!"

The darkness lifted, Loss' release technique was strong enough to work for anyone captured within the technique to be cleared.

"Hmmm, you've gotten stronger, Loss, but I hope you're strength can hold up against this old technique.", Death said, widening his legs, clapping his hands together, closing his eyes.

"Genjutsu…", Death began.

"NO!! YOU WOULDN'T DARE!"

Death opened his eyes and looked at Jord, and closed his eyes again.

"JORD LOOK OUT!", Loss yelled jumping in front of him.

Jord glanced up, and pushed Loss out of the way., his eyes began to widen.

"Illusion Harmony!!!"

Jord was surrounded by giant needles, and a lot of hot gravel and dirt, he was on his knees and couldn't move, but he was more calm than ever. Jord closed his eyes and then reopened them.

He had returned to the real world And Death dropped to the ground.
"Nice Try.", Jord complemented, smiling darkly at Death, with his Mangekyou Sharingan out, as he layed sprawled on the ground twitching and letting the occasional scream out.

"You all can come out now.", Loss said, as the ninjas underwater flew out.

"What…What took so long?", MinMin asked.

"Let's go.", Jord and Loss said in unison ignoring MinMin completely.

They rushed back to the village with a report it was night , Jord stopped running at the gate.

"Come on, Jord! You saw everything! We need you to help with the report!", MinMin said, staring at him.
Jord burst into flames and then smoke.

"What…", MinMin's eyes widened, and no Jord came out.

"He's fine, don't worry.", Loss said patting her on the back, and she followed everyone.
Back in the forest…

Death stood up, and brushed himself off, "Too easy…"

"Was it?", A dark voice echoed through the forest.

"So it's you again.", Death said staring at nothing.

"Gratitude…", The voice was stopped.

"IT'S DEATH!"

"Is it? Well, time to kill Death!", The voice shrieked.
Death turned fast and punched a demon looking thing, and saw the face was Jord's.

"What?! You reside in this boy's body?!", Death said, playing dumb.

"Like you didn't know!!", Jord said, " That's why you wanted this boy I reside in to step on the Demon Sealing Circle of yours.

"If I couldn't willingly make him. I WILL FORCE HIM!!!", Death shrieked, and grabbed the demon by his shoulders, The demon chuckled.
"Bad…Move…", The Demon cackled.
Death's eyes widened and there was a loud cracking sound.
His arms were on the side of him as usual, but he couldn't move them.

"Your arms are broken…", The Demon smiled, revealing his sharp teeth.

"Really. Now I don't.", Death went from a slouching position into a standing straight position.

There was another loud crack.

Death did some hand signs, followed by some running.
He kept trying to palm the Demon, but he was dodging as fast as he possibly could, kicking Death in the face when he could.

The Demon was backed up into a tree, and he sprouted his wings, and flew, as Death thrust his palm into the tree, leaving a large mark of his palm there, and the tree turned a bright green and blew up, leaving a green Demon Sealing Circle.

"Darn it…", Death sighed.

"Goodbye.", The Demon said.
A large katana came flying at Death and stabbed him through his heart, and he fell, leaving a pool of blood under him. The demon left, for it was getting light out.

The Demon was gone, and Death stood up, and brushed his wound off like some dirt, and the blood burst into blue flames, and the blood was gone.

"Why didn't I think about this before…"
