Naruto Shippuden -H-: Chapter 019: Atrocious Man of Kirigakure
Andarius had beheaded Kazuma with his weapon, Yonareta, and with the help of the Hidden Mist Jutsu, he had his targets set on Inari as well.
"Kazuma, Kazuma are you alright, I thought I heard something?" asked Inari as he had his black painted sword in a striking stance.
"Time to fool this ol' dumb ass kid as well, I will mimic the voice of Kazuma and tell him to come near the sound, then off wit' his head." thought Andarius to himself with much excitement.
"Inari, I am alright, I am over here, around twenty feet to your right, that bastard got me, but I was able to fight him off for now, hurry and cover me before he gets back." said Andarius while using the voice of the now deceased Kazuma.
"Ummmm, okay, I will be right there Kazuma-sensei." said Inari who was oblivious to Andarius' ploy.
"That's it Inari, follow the sound of my voice, this jutsu will dissipate soon, we need to have each others backs when that happens." said Andarius trying to sound convincing.
"Okay, I am here." said Inari as he was still surrounded by Mist, with no sign of Kazuma anywhere.
Kazuma's head, being held by Andarius, suddenly appeared in front of Inari.
"What...no, noooooooo, Kazuma-sensei, no what did he do to you?" asked Inari as he started to cry at the sight of the severed head of his ANBU captain.
Andarius threw the severed head in the air and then proceeded to cut it horizontally in half.
"I will release the jutsu now, then I will kill ya lame ass ANBU as well." said Andarius as the Hidden Mist Jutsu was released.
Inari saw the headless body of Kazuma laying next to the destroyed head laying beside Andarius.
"You bastard, I will get you for this!" yelled Inari as he ran towards Andarius with his sword pointed towards the man.
"Yo' at first I impressed with how far you mist shinobi would go, but now, ya' just down below." said Andarius as he delivered a swift kick to Inari, breaking his right arm and sending him onto the ground.
"A'ight kid, no more games, I want the Mizukage, and well, you are not her!" said Andarius as he held his trident-like weapon above the boy and prepared to slam it down.
"Hiramekarei Release!" yelled a young man who instantly appeared behind Andarius and swung a large hammer rapped in bandages and powered by glowing blue chakra.
"What the..." said Andarius as he was struck by the weapon and was sent flying into the marsh thirty feet to the west of the ANBU outpost.
"Inari, get out of here, we can mourn Kazuma's death later." said Chojuro as he looked over at the pond that he knocked the perpetrator into.
A puddle of water behind Chojuro suddenly spawned the body of Andarius as he was quick to strike from behind the Shinobi Swordsman.
"Not bad, but you will pay for what you did to Kazuma." said Chojuro as he ducked below the weapon of Andarius and lunged Hiramekarei towards Andarius again, knocking him against a large rock this time.
"Fuck, he scored two hits with that fuckin' hammer, who the fuck are you?" asked Andarius as he was slow to get up.
"I am Chojuro, bodyguard of the Fifth Mizukage, and lead captain of the Kirigakure ANBU." said Chojuro who stood in front of Andarius defiantly.
"Oh, bodyguard of Mei eh, good, after I finish killing you, her pretty face will be next." said Andarius as he prepared a series of hand signs.
"I will switch Hiramekarei into the long sword form and strike at him from a distance." said Chojuro as he was anticipating Andarius' jutsu.
"Water Release: Three-Headed Hydra!" yelled Andarius as a large creature composed of water was made out of nothingness.
"So he can use the Water Release without a source, eh?" asked Chojuro as he still had Hiramekarei on the ready.
"I can create water with just my chakra alone, no need for an existing source, with this, I am on the same level as Kisame and Tobirama." said Andarius as he had the three headed creature made of water spiral towards Chojuro.
"This pressure from my jutsu will crush every damn bone in yo' body, there is no chance to survive." said Andarius as the large volume of the jutsu collided with Chojuro's Hiramekarei.
"Hiramekarei: Shield!" yelled Chojuro as his weapon formed a large plate and was able to shield him for the jutsu.
The water splashed at a high velocity and even manged to shatter Chojuro's weapon a good bit, before dissipating into a large pour of rain that covered the battlefield.
"Alright, that must have shaken him up." said Andarius as he ran at great speeds towards the location of Chojuro, who was still shaken up by the Three Headed Hydra Jutsu.
"Shit, I have no time to react, I must find a way." said Chojuro as he noticed that Inari had appeared in front of him in order to stand up to Andarius.
"Dammit Inari, I told you to leave, you will only get killed too." said Chojuro with anger.
"No, I was told a long time ago by a hero that running away and crying will never solve things, and now I will put that to test." said Inari as he drew his sword from his sheath and also ran towards Andarius.
"This is for Naruto." said Inari as he remembered the time when Naruto and his team helped fight off Gatou's thugs and the Demon of the Hidden Mist, Zabuza Momochi.
"The Golden Hero, eh?" said Andarius as his blue eyes lit up and were bloodshot, as he smiled with such force, one of his molars chipped slightly.
"Yonareta: Fish Spear!" yelled Andarius as a series of small hooks emerged from the man's weapon and pierced the arms and legs of Inari.
"GYAAAAHHH!" screamed Inari as he fell to the ground in great pain.
"Hehe...hahahaha, let's see what happens when I tug on this bait." said Andarius as he lured Inari back as if he was a fish, all the while more blood was gushing from Inari's wounds.
"You motherfucker!" yelled Chojuro as he swung the long sword variation of his weapon, cutting the wires attached to Andarius' hooks, and freeing Inari in the process.
"Come here, I will get you healed soon enough." said Chojuro as Inari passed out from the pain.
"I will not let some worthless member of the Seven Swordsmen get in my way!" yelled Andarius as he walked at a brisk pace towards Chojuro, and was preparing more hand signs.
"Perhaps, the Water Release: Homing Three-Headed Hydra Jutsu will be a better suit for your death." said Andarius with glee.
Elsewhere, as three in the evening of Naruto's third day on his journey came around, Zaire was in the process of flaying the now awake Joakim, as the injured Iwagakure Shinobi was crying out with immense pain.
"That's it, feel the peace as each tendon, each piece of skin is cut off from your body, and the joy as the ligaments are cut, thus allowing this prison we call skin to be freed from us." said Zaire with much joy as he carried out the act in the fruit tree-clad forest of the Sun-Braced Grove.
"Noooo, ughhhhhh...aaaa." screamed Joakim as Zaire was using a ice pick made of sharp wood to flay his victim.
"Only your head still has skin now, see, the beautiful red muscles, the remnants of the white ligaments, once I De-glove your head, I will give you the biggest kiss ever, because you will be free of the lie that is skin." said Zaire as a tear of joy fell from his right bloodshot eye.
Andarius had finished preparing the hand signs for his next jutsu as he unleashed it on Chojuro.
"Water Release: Homing Three-Headed Hydra!" yelled Andarius as the same jutsu from before was casted, except now it had the capability to continuously follow it's target.
"Judging by the name, I will have to use Hiramekarei to smash that liquid behemoth to puddles, or else it will continue to follow me until I am the victim." thought Chojuro to himself.
The large water-hydra closed in or Chojuro, and despite it's size, it was rather quick.
"Hiramekarei: Unleashed!" yelled Chojuro as he formed the hammer end of his blade and smashed it with all of his strength against the large water jutsu.
"Fuck, ugh..." murmured Chojuro as he was able to destroy the hydra, but the force of impact, as well as the pressure of the jutsu broke both of Chojuro's arms and destroyed his weapon.
"I can repair my bones and my blade in time, but Kazuma's death will never be forgivable." said Chojuro as he landed on the ground next to the unconscious Inari.
"Is that all the elite bodyguard of the Mizukage has to offer, oh well, time to kill the two of yo' mothafuckas now, in the name of His Majesty, The Apathetic Judge!" yelled Andarius as he swiftly ran towards the two shinobi and jumped in the air above them, with the intent of ramming Yonareta, the trident-like weapon, onto them both.
"Fuk off both of ya' dumb asses." said Andarius as he thought of what to do with the bodies once his wepons struck its targets.
"The only thing that will end prematurely is my marriage...wait, did I just say that...really?" went on a woman with long auburn hair as she delivered a swift and powerful kick to Andarius sending him to the ground, and also causing him to impale his own right leg on the weapon.
"Goddamn, fukin' bitch, that hurt, who do ya think ya are?" asked Andarius as he did not get a clear look of the attacker.
"Chojuro, Inari, I will handle this, I caught word from one of the ANBU who witnessed Kazuma's death, this time I will be the one to protect you." said the Fifth Mizukage as she stood in front of the two fallen Kirigakure shinobi and looked on at the injured Andarius.
"Well, I'll be damn, if it isn't Mei Terumi, the young woman who managed to overcome the Bloody Mist's graduation ritual." said Andarius as he pulled Yonareta out of his leg and stood up with a slight limp.
"Yes, and whoever you are, you will be dead shortly for what you did to us, you terrorist." said Mei with a valiant tone.
"Terroist, oh fuck, we are not terrorists, we are gods to this godless world, and anyone that calls the beautiful prince, and loving man, The Apathetic Judge's warriors terrorists deserves nothing short of death!" yelled Andarius in a fit of rage.
"Whatever, I don't have time for your radicalism methods." said Mei as she formed the hand signs for her own technique.
"Huh, I wonder what she will do, I will just have to counter with my own technique, and once I get the drop on her, I will have one of the five kages in Lazarus' possession." thought Andarius to himself.
"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!" said Mei as she spat out a large wave of white-acidic lava that closed in on Andarius' location.
"Oh shit, the injury in my leg is too much, I cannot get out of way in time, I guess I will just have to sacrifice my right arm." said Andarius as he managed to mostly get out of the vicinity of Mei's jutsu, but his arm was caught by the acidic lava.
"Fuck, fuck that hurts, damn!" yelled Andarius as the skin and muscle on his right arm dissolved.
"Seems that your price for killing one of our own is starting to effect you more now." said Mei as she jumped off of the tree where she stood and slowly walked towards Andarius.
"Heh, well if this is the price to pay for getting back at the village that made me and many others suffer, then I will actively pursue it's destruction, even if only my head remains, though because of the kind and merciful nature of the Apathetic Judge, I will not be missing my right arm for too long." said Andarius in a calm manner towards Mei.
"You are from this village, huh, I don't remember seeing you, from what time did you defect and become a worthless criminal?" asked Mei with a serious tone.
"When you're worthless Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, was enslaved by Tobi, or rather Obito Uchiha, hehehe, after that, and the fact that Obito had my brother and parents murdered, the whole Bloody Mist thing drove me to hell." said Andarius as he tightly gripped what little remained of his right arm and tore it off.
"We have all suffered, it took me seven years to undo the damage done by that Obito bastard and his Sharingan, and besides, the Bloody Mist was actually an object of times well before the Uchiha got to us, our village was like this since the days of the First Mizukage, Obito just made the circumstances worst." said Mei with a grimace.
"Thanks for the history lesson, but I am not complaining or nothing, after all, it's funny that the current Mizukage has two Kekkei Genkai, when thirteen years ago, any one with a Kekkei Genkai was executed brutally." said Andarius with anger in his voice.
"I was sure to execute any of those evil bastards who murdered the innocents because of having a bloodline limit, and yet you still complain about the policies of the past, they are done, our village is a peaceful one now, give it up!" yelled Mei to the disgruntled Andarius.
"Well, Haku of the Yuki clan was actually on our boss' radar for a while. ya' know we wanted him to be a member of the Knights of Dawn, with his Ice Release and all, but by the time Tetsuga came here to get the child, Zabuza Momochi already got to him." said Andarius.
"Moving on, Kisame was also on our radar, but he had formed an alliance with Obito and joined Akatsuki, so in short, all of the valiant shinobi from this village are already dead, what a fuckin' pity." said Andarius as pulled out a small vial of glowing blue liquid from his back pants pocket.
"Again, I had no way to protect Haku or his family back then, and Kisame was a rogue from the start, again a product of the Bloody Mist, anyway, are you finished ranting about archaic methods of the past?" asked Mei as she started to prepare more handsigns.
"Well, ya' see, the Apathetic Judge, this sweet beautiful prince who saved me and gave me a second chance, his compassion has no bounds, he even invented a liquid medicine for his soldiers should they suffer an injury such as mine, and because of his compassion, his soldiers can fight on for eternity!" said Andarius with a smile as he poured the vial of blue liquid on the stump where his right arm used to be.
"What?" asked Mei as the bones, nerves, muscle, and skin of Andarius' right arm all grew back.
"See, it as if it never happened, though I no longer have any more of this medicine left, so next time I loose a limb, it is for good." said Andarius with a mocking tone.
"Okay, we will put that claim to the test then, but first may I get your name before I melt you?" asked Mei.
"Andarius, Andarius Reiko." said the man with a smile.
"Okay Andarius Reiko, I will enjoy seeing you melt into a bloody mesh, Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique!" said Mei as she started to spew steam from her mouth.
"Oh shit, this is bad, the second Kekkei Genkai of Mei, oh well, I may not have two, but I do have a responce." said Andarius as he quickly formed some more hand signs to counter.
"Brine Release: Protective Sphere of Atlantis!" said Andarius as Mei's eyes widened.
"What, what did he just do?" asked the Mizukage as a large orca, made of greenish-blue steaming water surrounded Andarius, shielding him from the Boil Release jutsu.
