The true hatred
Karoshi: the stone is invading!? Ujinomaru: correct! A war is starting right here on leaf soil! Karoshi: what should we do!? Ujinomaru: listen carefully to what im a bout to say! And memorize everything that I say! The stone are attacking in waves! There coming from the direction of the leaf! Go to the leaf gate! Find hanako and ikiru and kill all who come through the gate! Hold them off until they retreat! Do not let them have the leaf! Karoshi: yes sir! (Karoshi disappears to do as ujinomaru says. He soon encounters ikiru fighting multiple enemies alone) Karoshi: ikiru! Ikiru: Karoshi!? Man am I glad to see you! Karoshi: (Karoshi and ikiru start fighting back to back) have you seen hanako!? Ikiru: no! im still looking for her! Where have you been Karoshi!? Karoshi: out cold in the hospital! Where else!? Ikiru: what are you talking about!? The hospital was evacuated just before the attack!
Karoshi: what!? Ikiru: we saw a massive amount of ninja heading our way just before the attack began! The academy, the hospital and all civilians were evacuated a full 5 minutes before the fight! Karoshi: I woke up in the hospital to a stone ninja trying to kill me! (Thinking: wait a minute…the hospital was empty when I got up. Did they forget to wake me?) Ikiru: that's weird! Karoshi: well figure it out later! Ujinomaru sensei gave me some orders! To find you and hanako and go fight the enemy at the gate! Ikiru: roger! Lets find hanako! (The boys run quickly through the village killing all that gets in their way. Soon they find hanako near the gate fighting an army) ikiru: hanako! Hanako: ikiru! Karoshi! (The three get back-to-back facing each enemy that comes at them. Each ninja focuses in front trusting the others to watch there back. Suddenly the leaf ninja who were fighting at the gate start backing away. Karoshi uses his Sharingan to read their lips.
Leaf ninja 1: hey isn't that the ten tails brat? Leaf ninja 2: it can't be I thought he was dead. Leaf ninja 1: why is that? Leaf ninja 2: when the hospital was evacuated, I made sure the ten tails brat wasn't alerted. So that when the invasion begin he would be killed and wede be rid of the ten tails for good. (Karoshi is grinding his teeth) ikiru: look! Someone stands on the air! Karoshi: what the!? (Karoshi looks up to see a strange man with blue soul reaper pants, a green cloak extending to his waist, an orange shirt underneath and a sword on his back with an orange handle and blue guard. His right eye is a hole eye shaped, and made of a bony substance. His hair is red and greased back. Goes down to his shoulders. There is 9 tattooed on his left cheek) Karoshi: so…you've come. Espada!
Ikiru: you mean this guy is!? Karoshi: yeah! You guys take on the stone ninja! Ill handle the espada! (Karoshi jumps up and stands on the air with the Sharingan in his eyes) Karoshi: what are you doing here…espada? Espada: wouldn't you like to know? Karoshi: what's your name espada? Espada: takumo. Takumo erutzei. Karoshi: takumo eh? By that number on your cheek…am I to assume you are the ninth espada? Takumo: yes. You are Karoshi uchiha, correct? You fought with espada number ten Iruma didn't you? Karoshi: what of it? Takumo: im here to kill you Karoshi. (Slowly draws sword from back) Karoshi: avenging your friend are we? Takumo: Iruma means nothing to me. I'm simply cleaning up his mess. Karoshi: well aren't we the cold one? Fine. Ill roast you alive espada!
Takumo: oh that's right. That shikai of yours is lightning. You expect to be able to hit me with that? Karoshi: you're not worth my shikai. Not like that. Release espada. And then you can taste my shikai. (Takumo suddenly appears behind Karoshi) takumo: that's rich…soul reaper. (Taking Karoshi by surprise he is unable to block and only moves out of the way to get only a scar on the cheek. Karoshi moves away) Karoshi: (thinking: no way! That speed was so fast even the Sharingan couldn't keep up! I couldn't block) takumo: are you surprised? While in your normal state you could keep up with Iruma. Are you so surprised to see such a speed gap between Iruma and I? The espada specialize in different methods of fighting. Mine is speed. Plus blind spot attacks. If you want to live, watch your back. Carefully.
Karoshi: tch. You're going to be a problem. Takumo: that's right. (Appears behind Karoshi. Seeing it coming this time Karoshi gets enough distance in between him and takumo but this time he appears behind Karoshi for a second time) Karoshi: what!? (Karoshi blocks his sword attack with his own sword) takumo: I told you to watch your back. Karoshi: humph! (Karoshi goes flying backwards and makes several hand signs) Karoshi: fire style! Fire ball jutsu! (A large fire back shoots at takumo. He disappears before it hits. Predicting his next strike, Karoshi turns around in time to block takumo's attack. He disappears again but Karoshi simply turns around and blocks him again. Takumo tries several times but each time Karoshi is ready for it) takumo: you're a fast learner. Karoshi: (thinking: ive managed to get in step with his speed. I'm able to read his attacks and react fast enough to his attacks. I can win this!)
Takumo: are you satisfied that you can now see my speed? It seems that as our fight has progressed you are becoming accustomed to my style. But what will you do if my style were to change? Karoshi: what!? Takumo: behold my true power. White insect. (A mass of bugs appears and engulfs takumo. When the insects fly away from him he has transformed. His arms are now very long and thin, with long and thin claws extending from the end. Two spikes stick out of his shoulders. His face is masked with two large antennae sticking up like a bug) Karoshi: so this…is your release form? Takumo: yes. My power…called white insect. Whiteness its true power. (Moving even faster than before he appears behind Karoshi and swings his claws. Karoshi ducks just in time but meets the force of his kick, sending Karoshi flying)
Karoshi: gahhhh! (After flying some ways he slams into the leaf gate forming a crater) takumo: I am not yet finished with you. (He appears before Karoshi, picks him up and throws him into the air. A cero starts forming between his two antennae) takumo: be gone. Karoshi uchiha. (The cero blasts at Karoshi. As it gets to Karoshi the cero splits in two. As the smoke clears ikiru stands in front of Karoshi, UN injured) takumo: he survived my cero!? But how! He is no soul reaper. What's he thinking getting involved in this fight!? Ikiru: you look hurt Karoshi. Figured id lend a hand. Karoshi: how did you deflect that cero!? Ikiru: I told you…I did more than sit on my ass while you were away. Karoshi: no way…you couldn't have! Ikiru: that's right. (Ikiru has a katana at his side. He draws it slowly) takumo: this kid…what is he? Ikiru: ill handle this Karoshi. You're still injured from your other battle.
Karoshi: I see. So be it. Ill deal with the stone. Electrify…idashimaru! (The blade transforms and a mass of lightning shoots out) Karoshi: im in no mood to be fucked with today. Die stone invaders! (Karoshi rushes off to face the stone while ikiru gets ready to face off takumo) takumo: what hope do you have? That sword is not a zanpakto. You can even touch me without soul reaper powers. Ikiru: suffocate him…isuchimaru. (A blast of smoke shoots out from ikirus sword. The smoke itself is cut in half revealing ikiru, now wearing a red kimono with his right sleeve ripped off. In his right hand is his new sword. A long blade with a red cutting edge and the rest colored black. A circle with a plus is where the blade stems from. Stemming from that same shape, are two arrowheads sticking out to the sides colored red forming the guard. The handle is black with a red arrowhead sticking out of the bottom. His right arm is also tattooed. Flames from his shoulder to upper arm. Leaves form a circle around his elbow. And from his forearm down there is a blue ring with blue tentacles extending down to his palm)
Takumo: impossible…another one!? That is a shikai! You…are another ninja/soul reaper hybrid!? Ikiru: that's right. While Karoshi trained in the soul society my powers awakened. I trained with isuchimaru to gain this power. Now see the ability of isuchimaru. (Iruma appears behind ikiru and swings his claws but to his surprise ikiru blocks his attack with ease) ikiru: while I suck at kido, my senses are sharpened to extreme heights. Your speed cannot get passed me. Your lucky I stepped in this fight. When I kill you, you will feel little pain. Had you continued fighting Karoshi…(in karoshis eyes are the blood red eyes of the ten tails)…you would have been torn limb from limb. Takumo: "when I kill you" eh? Don't be so sure of your self brat! (At that moment takumo forms another cero) ikiru: don't bother. (As the cero shoots out it explodes only feet in front of takumo. As the smoke clears, takumo's left shoulder spike was blown off)
Takumo: what was that? Ikiru: did you see it? Your cero was stopped…by this. (Swirling around ikiru is a stream of solid black energy) takumo: black energy? No…its darkness! Pure darkness! Ikiru: that's right. Isuchimaru holds the power of darkness itself. Takumo: it can't be…if this keeps up…im going to die…ikiru: good night espada. Dark spike. (The darkness swirling around ikiru, turns into several black spikes and shoot forward at an incredible speed. Unable to avoid it, the shadow spikes pin takumo to the leaf gate. Two spikes pierced his shoulders. Ikiru appears in front of takumo) ikiru: time to die. Takumo: !? (Thinking: so that's the plan.) Sorry kid. Our fight ends here. (Takumo disappears) ikiru: what the? (A low rumbling is heard. The trees far ahead are shaking as though something huge is coming. A strange monster with a humanoid appearance stands high above the trees. Its body is solid white and hundreds of eyes are all over the beast and it has no mouth) ikiru and Karoshi: what…the…fuck!?
