Hey peeps sorry for the wait here is next chapter. This is how the story is going to go it may be confusing at first but please trust me its gunna be awesome lol.
"Captain, we are losing men left and right. This is a suicide mission, and you know it!"
"What are we supposed to do? We cannot defy our orders." A man in a silver robe, and porcelain looking mask, stood on a tree branch looking on at the massacre unfolding before his eyes.
"But captain.."
"Enough! We either die here or at the hand of our contractor, so why not die trying to complete our mission?"
The Captain's mask was circular, with only eyes and no mouth, a turquoise triangle was placed over the left eye and a red triangle over the right eye. He was tall and held himself with confidence even when he was not sure of himself he remained controlled. He had an image to uphold and he could not let his comrades see he was weak. Nothing in this world was worse than being weak in front or your squad, he was supposed to be the top commander in the anbu. Then out of no were his team is on the run and contracting like low life scums that he once chased. To make things worse for him, his squad was being murdered in front of his eyes. Of the ten anbu he had only minutes ago only three were alive fighting for their lives with him and his second in command that made five. Five anbu, five friends and there was nothing he could do to stop their deaths. He knew he could only delay it.
"Let's go we need to help them." The Captain told his second in command.
"But sir we never enter the fight."
"Well our friends are dying out there. They need help now, so let's go."
"If you go sir you will die too. I can't let that happen."
Stopping for a moment he turned and said. "Then try to stop me as far as I am concerned, we are already dead."
With that he was gone leaving a cloud of dust and leaves. He rushed as fast as he could to reach his friends. Time was running our and he needed to go faster, so he stopped on a branch of a tree for a split second, then was gone again, sending leaves swirling around everywhere he was going faster then before. Moments later under the branch he stopped on the ground crushed sending rocks and dirt flying into the air.
'He is serious. I have not seen him this serious in a long time. He is ether scared or worried, maybe both.' The second in command thought to himself, as he stood looking at the crater in the ground. He then headed straight to the fight.
Getting closer to the fighting, the Captain could hear metal clashing and smell the blood drenching the ground. Seeing the clearing and his squad he pushed himself to go faster. Once in the opening he saw his friends being surrounded. Looking at the surrounding ninja, nine of them dropped to the ground instantly dead. A swirl of leaves and a gust of wind more fell. Confused the three in anbu masked looked around trying to see who was responsible.
"That had to be the Captain." A female voice said as she stood holding a sword.
"There is no way it was him, he never enters a fight." Another one spoke sounding much younger than the other in a defensive stance.
"Yea but he has never needed to enter a fight before." Another female voice said she had chakra flowing through her fists.
The three stood their backs to each other, as more enemy ninja started to emerge and surround them again. Then just as before another, gust of wind blow through. Five more dropped dead, then a few more and then more. However no matter how many fell more kept coming the amount of enemies was endless it seemed. Then the second in command showed up joining his friends, and stood in formation alongside them.
"Sir why is the Captain here?" One of the females asked.
"He is here to protect you guys. He said he was going to protect his friends even if it means his death."
"Friends, since when are we his friends?" the younger one asked.
"We were always his friends. It's just he is also our Captain he can't be easy on us so it doesn't seem like he is our friend at times because of that." The other female explained.
They all looked at the battle field as the bodies continued to pile up, but there was no end to the army emerging from the forest. It was no use there Captain was moving so fast and killing so many, but it was useless, they knew they were going to die. As time passed their Captain was starting to slow down, they were able to see him now, he was getting tired and he was over working his body, it was only a matter time before their Captain could no longer fight.
The four anbu stood watching not wanting to get in the way, they felt useless, with a sinking feeling that they would soon meet a terrible death, Tiger the taller of the four and one of the females was starting to sweat under her mask her chakra fists still held up, Rat the younger of the four was racing through ways of getting out of this alive. Crow the other female was starting to accept the fact that she and her teammates were going to die as she let her sword drop. Owl the second in command started to giggle which made everyone face him. He was looking at their captain who was now almost to a normal run and was struggling to kill enemies now. He could not stop giggling and it made the others mad.
"What the hell is wrong with you Owl, we are going to die and your laughing?" Tiger yelled with venom in her voice.
"Yea man what the hell is your problem huh, is death funny to you?" Rat asked looking at owl.
"No it's not that at all. I was just thinking maybe the Shadow Twins will save us." Owl told the other three.
"The shadow twins are you delusional? They are not real, besides if they were real, why would they help us, what makes you think they would not kills instead?" Crow asked
"Well the story is they are neither good nor bad so, they do not pick sides and they only help those that are in great need regardless of village or organization. I even heard stories of them helping out the Akatsuki. Not sure how true that is though"
"Dude it's a legend the Shadow twins are not real it's all stories to give hope to the ninja with nothing else to hope for." Tiger said firmly.
They all looked back at the approaching ninja. They saw that their Captain was no longer fighting. He was on one knee panting a few feet from them, with hundreds of dead ninja bodies around them. His arm wrappings were stringing from his robe sleeves. He was done and they all knew it. Their only hope for survival was gone.
"I'm sorry I failed you." Their captain told them as he looked at them. He felt shame that he could not save his team.
They were all saddened because he had not failed them. He did all he could to save them. He fought till he could no longer stand. He made them proud to call him Captain. No one could ask for a better Captain.
"It's ok Captain you never failed us." Crow said
"You are the best captain and friend. I'm proud to have fought alongside you" Owl said
"I wish I could have gotten to grow older under your leadership Cap." Rat said
"You know that's not true Captain, besides you know I still owe you a new robe after we get out of this." Tiger said trying to joke.
They were surrounded very quickly and after a short struggle were finally subdued together in the center of the clearing. All five of them were tired and hope was gone. They had their hand tied and ropes put around there necks with a ninja at the other end of each rope to pull them up and hang them. The ninja looked at them and waited for their orders. The five were beat and only moments from death.
"Hey you in the mouth less mask you the leader?" one of the ninja asked.
No one said anything as time seemed to drag on. "Look this is not personal its only orders for what it's worth you're a damn great shinobi it's a shame you have to die."
Still not responding to the enemies the five looked straight ahead waiting for their deaths to come.
"Hey tiger you know I think I know why the Shadow Twin legend is told. It's because hoping they will save us at the last second will make my death easier." Owl said with a hint of happiness in his voice.
"I know what you mean and hold on to that hope to the very end. It will help I swear because I to know the hope of the Shadow twins now also." Tiger said.
"Well it's time to kill these five and remember make sure no blood is shed from their bodies we what our medical team to study each of these shinobi. A shame their attempt to kill the kage failed." He said with a laugh. "Oh well on with it." He turned and started to walk away.
"Ok men ready 1..2." a voice came as the five anbu closed their eyes waiting for their deaths.
Only silence was fallowed, and then came some soft thuds and a warm mist sprayed over them. They opened their eyes to see the entire enemy army was dead and streams of blood were everywhere. They saw in front of them two figures facing them. Both of them were the same height and appeared to have the same body build they both wore maroon robes with their hoods pulled up and pure black masks both in the shape of a mouse. They both held katana's, each was about 2 feet long they were both infused with chakra the one on the left was white with a sharp ridged coating, the other had a blue misty like coating. After a moment however they realized the chakra was the blades as the two turned only hilts remained in their hands.
"Uhh Hey were you going. You're not going to kill us? Not that I'm complaining" Tiger asked.
"Yea I mean who are you guys you killed an entire army in less than 5 seconds that's not normal. Are you two even human?" Owl said.
As the others were in awe of the two in front of them, their Captain had gotten free and started to free the others. "I would like to thank you two for helping us but who are you guys." The captain asked freeing the last of his friends.
The two stopped walking and turned back around to face the five Anbu. They did not speak only stared as if waiting for something to happen. Owl walked up to the two to shake their hand in thanks but was met with what he could tell was a confused look. It was hard to tell through their masks but the head tilts kind of gave it away. Shrugging Owl returned to the side of his friends.
"Look I am the Captain of this Anbu squad. I thank you and if you have nothing to say we must be on our way."
"But captain who are they we need to find out, what if they are missing-nin we could make big money for them." Rat whispered
"Are you kidding me Rat? We almost died in the hand of that army. Those two they killed that army and you think we can take them on?" Crow asked rat.
"I was just saying.."
"Well rat I'm just saying they would kill us before we could lift a finger." crow said
The five looked at the two just standing their staring at them. They soon decided it was time to go due to the situation getting awkward. As the five turned to leave they heard something weird, they turned and realized the two ninja were speaking.
"What were you doing in this forest?" The voice spoke in a slow controlled manner.
The voice sounded a little off, and it took a moment for the five Anbu to realize that the two were speaking in unison with one another. One voice was a female the other was a male. Taken aback by what they were hearing, they just stared wondering why they spoke like that.
"We asked you what you are doing here." They both said in perfect unison and flawless control.
"Umm we were sent here on a mission to kill the Kage of this land, and thanks to you I think we are going be successful in it." Owl spoke up
"Why are you in the sound the Kage here is of no threat right now, and what village are you from?" the voices asked in perfect harmony.
"We don't have a village right now. Why do you talk like that?" Crow asked
"Like what." The two responded.
"You speak in perfect unison how is it possible it almost like you're…" Tiger fell silent as her jaw dropped and her face went pale in shock.
She pointed at them "Oh my god your real the stories are true. The Shadow Twins are real."
After what Tiger said the rest realized she was right. And they too stared in disbelief at the pair of masked ninja. Unsure of how to continue owl stepped forward. "Are the stories true about you?"
"What stories?" the harmony of the two voices came again.
"You help ninja in need no matter if they are good or bad." Rat asked
There was a long stretch of silence then the voices chimed in again. "Who is to say what is evil and what is good. What I see as evil you might see as good and vice versa."
"True but…" Owl was cut off
"We help the ones in dire need of help we keep balance of everything. We do not judge good or bad. We judge who needs us most and who is more beneficial to keeping the balance of this world."
"What balance?" the Captain asked
"The yin and yang, one cannot get a greater advantage then the other. Without a perfect balance the world will crumble into nothingness and darkness will consume all that is left." The two voices echoed in perfect sync.
"Ok makes sense, anyway what's your guys names?" rat asked with a smile.
"We are yin and yang, you can call us what you like, Shadow twins, Gemini twins, or crazy, whatever makes you happy. "
"Your name I was asking about your names." Rat asked a little more annoyed
"Names are of no importance. Like we know all your names and yet it does not matter to us. To us your tiger, owl, crow, rat, and Captain for all we care."
The statement threw the five off guard. "How can you possibly know our names, no one knows our true name except for members of the Anbu." The captain said.
"We know who you are from your fighting styles."
"Oh yea what fighting styles you talking about? Only close friends know our styles to connect them to names." Owl said
"True, you owl threw us off a bit with your companion not being here." They looked at owl
"Rat acting like a boy when you're really a girl, ashamed of your clan your eyes and your fighting stance, so you hide as a boy, yet that is all you have left ever sense you lost someone close to you." Rat flinched.
"Crow we know a weapons master when we see one, and your use of scrolls is outstanding." Turning to speak to crow the two pointed at her weapons belt and scrolls.
"Tiger very few people possess that kind of raw power and chakra control." Tiger looked at her hands.
"Captain that speed is impressive almost inhuman. And your taijutsu is remarkable. Plus your love for a fellow squad member no longer controls your feelings congratulations."
"How do you know so much about us?" Asked owl "and how do you know about my friend he's sick by the way he's back at base."
"We know more than you think, and in time we will see if you are worthy of knowing more about us. For now we leave you to your business."
With that the two masked shinobi were gone. Leaving the five anbu shocked and confused with only question in their minds, and dead bodies all around them. They turned and left heading back to their temporary home. Two figures emerged from behind the trees and looked at the retreating Anbu squad.
"Man that Twin bit never gets old" a female said then vanished
"Yea never does." A male said
