Ch. 32 Flash of Lightning

Sasuke and the Raikage stood off, each with the intent to kill in both of their eyes. Their breath creating humidity as it collided with the cold air. Don observed this fight from the shadows as the two powerful beings began with opening attacks.

"You will pay for attacking my village you little runt." The Raikage said as he charged foreword and slammed his metal cuffs onto Sasuke only to be blocked. Sasuke jumped back and fired his great fire ball jutsu at the Raikage. He merely smirked and clapped his hands together creating a monstrous roar of thunder which nullified the fireball.

Interesting. Don thought to himself. Sasuke performed a quick hand seal and summoned the chidori. The Raikage punched into the ground splitting it in two as Sasuke charged at him. Sasuke jumped into the air and saw the Raikage clam and a monstrous roar of thunder could be heard and a powerful sound wave sent Sasuke flying.

As Sasuke landed he sent a burst of chidori through his blade and struck the ground sending it shooting toward the Raikage. He in turn split the ground with a powerful punch to evade the attack. Just then Sasuke raised his blade into the air and lightning struck it and he redirected it toward the Raikage. The Raikage put his arms up to block himself; the lightning scattered, shooting in various directions.

Don fell to the ground. All within the time it takes lightning to strike; it took for this to happen. Even though the Raikage had blocked the attack, the scattered lightning hit Don instantaneously afterward. Everything went black for Don; all he remembered last was a flash of white light.

When Don awoke, he found himself at home in Konaha, in his bed at his family's home. When he got up a sharp pain struck him on his chest. He looked down and noticed his torso was wrapped in medical tape. He slowly got up and searched the house for any signs of people but found no such thing, not even a sign of anyone recently coming into his house.

By hid door was a chest, it looked really old. Don looked at it puzzled having never seen it before and brought it to the couch and opened it up. Inside was a note.

To this, I leave my male descendents, whoever is of age to wear my armor shall inherit this with only this oath to take: they will eventually come to rule with village as Hokage and do everything in their power to do good for this village.

There was also another note.

Dear son,

This is another one of those things that you would not have received until you were of the proper age. Now that you are I want to congratulate you. I left this with your relative Tsunade seeing as it is directly hers since she is the First's granddaughter, however with no son's to her name you are the next person in line to take this armor. For the rest of your life, wear this armor with pride and when you become Hokage, rule the best way you can.

Don looked down and picked up the armor. It was pretty old yet it was in great shape for its age. He tried it on and somehow it seemed to slip right on as if it were made for him. He thought back to recent events and realized that he must have failed his recent mission and there was no use in trying to go back even if he hadn't and he still had to continue it. He then remembered what his final orders from Tsunade were, his final mission.

He resumed to pack a few things and checked his house to make sure it would be in good condition. He walked out of his house and looked around; he saw no one. He remembered that this was good thing because he is supposed to be dead, again. He dashed off and didn't look back.

Maybe it was better if he was long forgotten.
