In disbelief Asuta and Yasai were just told they were from Kumo instead of Konoha. With their minds still trying to process the very thought, the large man, increased his grip on Kanna, further making her uncomfortable. "My name is Daikon, a member of the Nokizaru Group; a band of mercenaries who hunt down Ninja. My mission was to retrieve Yasai Kapuseru and Asuta Gairo and bring them back to Kumo." He smirked. Odaya intervened, "The Great Nations are supposed to be in era of peace! What does the Raikage think he's doing!?" Daikon released a malicious laugh, "Who said I was under the Raikage's orders? Sorry to tell you this, but I left Kumo a while ago, this headband is just for show.
And another thing, don't try to act all innocent either, the other nations throw all liability on Naruto and Konoha for the Tailed Beast Incident 13 years ago as well." Odaya slightly backed down in almost apparent shame as Yasai stepped forth. "I have no idea who you are or why you've come here, but if you plan to do any harm to this village, you'll have to get through me!" Yasai's body became oiled in appearance and encased in a wavy blue electrical chakra. "Behold my Storm Release Armor!" Almost in a blink of an eye, Yasai appeared behind Daikon and kicked him in the back forcing him to release Kanna. Asuta rushed toward Kanna, moving her out of the way of battle.
"Forgive me Arubin-Sensei for allowing myself to be captured so easily…" Kanna said struggling. Having been almost choked out, it seemed hard for her to talk. Asuta arose ready to fight, but was stopped by Odaya. "This is getting a little dangerous for you three, I'll stop him myself. Once I get Yasai out of the way, I need you to find a way to hold him back but until then, watch over Kanna." Asuta looked hesitant. "Yes ma'am, I'll try my best…" Asuta then pulled out a scroll and paint brush. Odaya wasn't sure what he was doing but she rushed over toward Yasai and Daikon who were locked in hand-to-hand combat. Even though they looked equal, Yasai was heavily being over powered.
The only thing saving him was the oil coat covering his body, reducing the damage he received. Odaya started to form hand seals as a giant tree spontaneously grew between the two. Seperated, Asuta then quickly painted 2 large snakes on the scroll he pulled out. "Ninja Art: Super Beasts Scroll" he called out, as the snakes he painted came to life and restrained both Yasai and Daikon. "What the-!" was they both shouted, as the snakes coiled around their bodies. Yasai struggled vigorously as the snake's grip only got tighter and tighter. "I see, using his artistic skills and Chakra-infused ink together." Odaya thought to herself. Daikon chuckled and smirked as he motionlessly stood there. "Yea right!" almost effortlessly, he burst forth from his constriction sending ink flying everywhere. "Well you two aren't as weak as that girl, I'll give you that, but I'm pretty sure my orders were to return you alive OR dead…" he said as his hands began to flare up in electrical orbs of lightning.
Asuta began becoming more and more angered. The injury of Kanna began to slowly cloud his judgment the more he thought about it. Blinded in rage, he quickly drew a kunai from his sleeve as charged towards him doing a hand sign. Daikon attempted to kick him away however, Asuta caught his leg with his arm. Suddenly the kunai in his other hand became engulfed and imbued with a spiral of flames taking the shape of a blazing sword. "Fire Style: Inferno Blade" was what he called out as he swung down on Daikon's leg. Just before he could make contact, Daikon kicked Asuta and his kunai away with his other leg, jumping up. Branches of wood, coming from under Odaya's feet, quickly headed towards opposing Daikon. "Lightning Style: Death Monday", the electricity in one of his hands quickly shot concentrated bolts of lightning, cutting through Odaya's wood and almost striking her.
Daikon looked over at a defenseless Kanna with a sinister look. With his other hand, he fired the next lethal piece of lightning at her. Much to everyone's surprise, Asuta blocked the attack with his own body, taking all of the damage. Kanna saw this and began to tear up. There was a hole in Asuta's back with a significant singe mark; he was severely injured. However he looked at Kanna with a satisfied smile. It was obvious to everyone he cared deeply about her and that what was Daikon took advantage of. "Risking your own life for your comrade? How noble… I'm afraid someone like me, knows nothing of that. You're all so pathetic, especially your teacher. What, afraid I'm going to kill you? Your students have more balls then you, and that's not necessarily a good thing!"
Odaya was shocked. His words were all talk but for a second they sounded true. She began questioning her worth as a ninja; as a teacher. He then pulled out a sack. "Once I'm done here, I'm going spread this all over your village. Thousands of microscopic insect eggs that when once have entered the body, eat the host's chakra and explode!" Asuta turned towards him, "Do you really think that we're gonna let you do that? It's obvious you're stronger than any of us here, but you're forgetting one important detail. Above all…. we're ninja!" Asuta said in reply to Daikon's comment. Odaya, Yasai and Kanna were deeply inspired by his words. The body protecting Kanna disappeared in a cloud of smoke as the real Asuta appeared behind Daikon, grappling him with an arm and both his legs.
From Asuta's hand, a scroll dropped and rolled out from under them both. It was a painting of an even bulkier, larger snake than the one he pained before. It came to life and coiled and restricted them both tightly and securely, only leaving Asuta with one free arm with a kunai in hand. The sack Daikon was holding dropped; unlike before the effectiveness of the constriction of this technique was far greater. Neither of them could breathe. "Hehe, Yasai showed me your blind spot. Your hair is so large and wild; it's hard to see from the back isn't it?" Asuta teased as the kunai he held, once again became engulfed in flames. "Wait, please, we can talk about this kid…!" Daikon began pleading a child a mercy. He had fallen as his true cowardly personality was revealed. He began spinning the sword in his hands, "This is what you get for underestimating 'kids'…!" Asuta pierced his blade through both Daikon and himself. As the snake holding them down, and as well as Yasai, was released, everyone became dumbfounded at Asuta's actions. Mouth releasing blood, he looked at his team with a large grin on his face.
Odaya was stricken with a bitter sadness. "One of my own students had to sacrifice themselves to save me; their teacher." Those were the words that kept running through her mind as she fell to her knees. Daikon collapsed, falling backwards with Asuta. Yasai rushed over to his comrade, pulling off what he called a "god-forsaken oaf" he immediately checked Asuta's pulse and to his surprise, he felt a faint beat. "Arubin-sensei!" he called out. Her response was delayed as she still wallowed in self-pity but she soon jumped up and ran over to them. She too checked his pulse and removed the clothing of his upper body. "His sword struck through Daikon's heart but missed his own!" she shouted. She applied medicine to his would and quickly bandaged him up. She placed him over her back. "Let's hurry back to the village" she said carefully but hastily ran back to the direction of the village with Kanna and Yasai behind.
