Seinaru stared at the ninja, giving each of them a glance so he could observe them quickly. The ninja who crept from behind the trees were wearing basically the same outfit as the one on the branch, except for the scarf. There were three males, and one female.
"I don't see any food." one of the males said with some disappointment, looking rather husky and fit with an average height, on his left cheek the letter E was marked in thick black ink.
"They must've gave away the packages already." the second male replied. He was very muscular, but slim, his seven foot-two inches height exaggerated his skinny look, on his left cheek was the letter A.
"Dumbass, of course they did. They are coming from the village." the female sneered before sucking her teeth, her black hair was in a boyish cut, very spiky, but still maintained a feminine tone; on her left cheek was the letter H.
The last of the four, an averagely height man with big blue eyes that seemed to stick out more than any other physical feature he had other than his clunked up blond hair, gave a quick chuckle, yet having a straight facial expression. "That doesn't mean they're broke now, does it?" he asked the three, on his left cheek was the letter T.
"You got that right!" E snickered.
Nobasu, Suri, and Tachi got into their fighting stances.
"Hey, stop that." Seinaru turned to his Genin.
"What?" Suri was caught off guard by his order.
"You three are too young to fight some random ninja. You have no idea what they're capable of, and although you three are good, you're not good enough. If I begin losing, run away while they're distracted, quietly." Seinaru spoke low enough so only they could hear him.
"But, Seinaru-sensei, we gotta start sometime." Suri tried to reason with Seinaru.
"What did I say? You three are to listen to me. If you disobey, I will stop training you." Seinaru faced the ninja.
The ninja with the letter E on his cheek rushed Seinaru, swinging his right arm downward left. Seinaru hopped off the ground with his left foot only giving him a few inches of air before he swung his right foot upward, slamming it against E's jaw. E fell on his back from the swift attack. A ran quickly to Seinaru, attempting to perform a right uppercut on him. Seinaru swung his left arm grabbing hold of A's wrist to halt the attack, and he slammed his right fist against A's chest. A grunted, his body tensing up from the hard punch, H tried to take advantage of the situation by running rather quickly towards the two with a kunai drawn. The kunai was covered with poison, so much that the poison was dripping off the kunai. Seinaru spun around tossing A into her direction. T began forming hand signs and finished with a quick hand seal, taking a deep breath and breathing out, a large water ball rushed in Seinaru's direction. Seinaru quickly performed his own hand signs, and made a seal; a gust of wind rushed around his body in a tornado formation, tearing the water ball apart upon contact.
"If I knew it was going to be this easy, I might have had my students fight you instead while I take out your leader. All joking aside, you Hissori-nin should stop fighting and go on with your day." Seinaru's right hand slipped into his vest's pocket.
"Hissori-nin?" Tachi asked anyone.
"Hissori-nin are ninja who were rejected, unlike nuke-nin. They've been forced to leave because they couldn't handle the life of a Shinobi. That's why they resort to picking off from unsuspecting people, that's their only way of living." Seinaru answered, purposely aiming to taunt them while staring at the ninja on the branch, who was noticeably grinning despite his mouth being covered.
"You almost stabbed me with that!" A yelled at H, who just smacked him across the face and stood up facing Seinaru with a scornful expression. She picked the kunai up from the ground and tossed it in Seinaru's direction.
"Duck, cover, and roll away!" Seinaru ordered his Genin before leaping off the ground and towards H.
The Genin did as they were told, successfully avoiding the kunai. Seinaru pulled his right hand out of his vest and tossed a smoke bomb at H's face. H swung her left arm across, popping the smoke bomb open with another kunai. Seinaru stopped before reaching any closer to H.
"I thought she would have thrown an explosive with that kunai. Then again, Hissori-nin are unpredictable to a certain degree." Seinaru thought to himself.
A wave of fire rammed against his chest and forced him back at high speeds till his body was stopped by a tree. The fiery Chakra simply burned the first layer of his vest. Seinaru stood up after catching his breath for a few seconds, staring in the direction of H, who walked out of the fading mist that was the result of the smoke bomb.
"That's a nice jutsu even though it's incomplete, it's only burning Chakra and not fire. Where'd a girl like you learn that from?" Seinaru gave a small grin while brushing the burnt flakes off of his vest with his hands.
"None of your goddamn business." H replied forming hand signs once more.
Seinaru crouched down and H formed a hand seal. Red Chakra began to form between her hands, slowly shaping a sphere which leaked out small flame like movements; it looked similar to the sun. H pushed her arms forward, the sphere speeding over in Seinaru's direction. Seinaru began rapidly forming his own hand signs and hand seal before jumping up quickly. He took a deep breath while in mid air and blew it out, releasing a strong gust of wind against the red sphere. The red sphere was forced into the ground, the dirt rushed into the air creating a fog of smoke and ash. H stared intensely at the fog, the frustration was clear on her face.
A stood up and started on his own jutsu, "He's pretty good, I think we should leave." he suggested while holding a hand seal.
"He's not that good, just shut up and watch my back!" H demanded, reaching her left hand carefully into her pouch pulling out another poison kunai.
A very large fire ball rushed out from the fog, moving so fast and being so large it blew the fog away instantly while on it's way to H. She was startled and dropped her kunai, she leaped to the left trying to avoid the Grand Fire Ball Jutsu, but Seinaru tossed a kunai in that direction directly afterwards which forced her back into her current position. The fire ball slammed against H, all she could do was hold up her arms, the fire began burning her arms.
H screamed loudly while trying to resist the pressure against it. "HURRY UP WITH IT!" she yelled.
"But it'll blow up!" A replied, looking worried.
Water began rushing out of T's mouth and against the fire ball which only created steam that covered the area. H was screaming during this, then her screams were soon ceased. Everyone was quiet, Seinaru stood straight, taking a quick glance at his Genin team seeing them watching the battle, after knowing they were alright he brought his attention back to the Hissori-nin. Seconds later H was heard panting, giving a few grunting groans while the steam cleared up. Her arms were bare and scarred, her shirt was partially burned as well, with a few burn marks on her face. She was standing up crooked, taking a step closer to Seinaru before falling to her left knee. Seinaru began rushing over to her, reaching his right hand into his pouch to slip out a kunai, his arm pulled back, but before he could stab H in her throat, E rammed his large body against Seinaru's side. Seinaru was literally forced to perform three flips before being able to stop himself on his left knee. He looked over at E's direction who was walking over towards him. Seinaru placed his hands on the ground, separating his legs to get in a position as if he was about to start a race.
"Little man, you can't really do much to me other than kicks. What if I break those legs?" E snickered again.
H collapsed on her face out of exhaustion, E looked behind at her, "Hey! Are you alright! Co-"
Seinaru interrupted E by running to him at his top speed, and he stabbed his kunai into E's left shoulder. Suddenly wind rammed against Seinaru while he was still in the air which forced him back a few feet. His vest was shredded by the attack, it was A's jutsu. Seinaru laid on his back for a few moments using his hands to observe his chest, only noticing a few minor cuts on it before he returned to his feet. T rushed up behind Seinaru, swinging a bigger than usual shuriken towards his neck. Seinaru noticed that there was an attack behind him by sound and he quickly dropped to his hands. He bucked his feet back, slamming both of his heels against T's jaw. T stumbled back, laughing with blood smeared on his teeth from his lips. Seinaru hopped to his feet and started running towards E while performing hand signs. E, who had pulled the kunai out of his shoulder already, beckoned Seinaru to come to him. E swung his arm back, holding the kunai tightly. A ran up behind E and leaped off his shoulders. E groaned in pain dropping to his knees while grasping his wounded shoulder. A performed another wind jutsu which blew Seinaru back a few feet. Seinaru rolled with the attack, recovering in mid air and landing on a nearby tree branch.
"The hell you do that for?" E growled out while blood slowly slid down his arm.
"He was about to slash your throat open, I know that jutsu myself, but I have trouble performing it." A answered, snarling his face up at Seinaru.
T looked over in Seinaru's direction licking the blood off of his own teeth. Seinaru began forming hand signs, he looked over at his Genin and gave a quick head movement as a sign for them to leave. The three of them carefully, but swiftly began their stealthy exit.
The leader on the branch noticed this, and chuckled to himself, "I'm more interested in what this guy is gonna pull off next. I'll get to the kids after he drops." he thought to himself.
