Chapter 4 - CLOUD NAMIKAZE VS RYUDO HOZUKI

Ryudo would exit out of the water as Cloud would throw a kunai at him, Ryudo would dodge this. Ryudo would constantly throw kunais before throwing a kunai with an explosive tag. Ryudo would dodge the tag as it would explode, the other kunai would be a marked kunai as Cloud would teleport behind Ryudo. Cloud would then charge up a certain type of Spiraling Ball that was used for so many years.

"RASENGANN!" Cloud would land the Rasengan on Ryudo pushing him so many meters away deep into the forest as he would land back first onto a tree. Ryudo would be incredibly weak to even get up from the rasengan as he would stay put to the tree as Cloud would get a kunai and put it against his neck. "Surrender now and the consequences won't be too harsh when we return you to the Leaf, you still are a missing nin of the Mist.." Ryudo's body would then change shape as water from his body would move out of his skin deflating his old body as he would be left with a body with only water and then his own water would make new skin for him to use as he would basically decompose his old body to make a new one.

"How did he do that, what type of jutsu does the mist have that requires any regular shinobi to grow out of their old skin to make new one by only using the water thats in their body?" Cloud would say. It really is rare to see decompose-type jutsus in the world, not too many people have those type of jutsus.

"You still don't understand Cloud, even with the moves you hit me with, maybe even your little teleportation or whatever, you still won't be able to beat me." Ryudo said as he would take out his sword getting ready to attack him again. Chills are down the spines of Team 7 and Miyamoto as they fear that Cloud may not even be enough to defeat him.

Cloud wouldn't be fazed by this as he seen worse opponents than Ryudo however Ryudo is starting to get on his nerves with the intangibility and decomposing of his old body to make a new one. "Every Shinobi has their weaknesses; all I have to do is find yours and this match will be over in a blink." Cloud would say.

Hikadai would weave handsigns for a Lightning Projectile at Ryudo, catching him off guard as he would dodge this Lightning Jutsu. Cloud would then follow that up with weaving handsigns to throw kunais at every point on the ground encircling Ryudo. Ryudo wouldn't catch this, but he'd smirk. Lightning would then pop out of the Kunais connecting with each other and electrifying Ryudo in the process. being electrified would cause his body to change as Lightning jutsus disrupt any Hozuki from being Liquid.

Cloud would see this opening of Ryudo as he would hit Ryudo with another Rasengan sending him crashing but this time he would be fully restraint. Cloud would then walk toward Ryudo to call Konoha Police but as soon as he does so another person stabs through Ryudo's neck with needles as Ryudo would fall down. Cloud would identify to see who it is, but it was a Nin from the Mist hired of assassinating Ryudo.

"I have to thank you all for taking down the rouge criminal." The Nin would say as they would take Ryudo's body away. Cloud would question if that was a real nin because most nins check to see if the person is dead and makes sure to burn the body on sight. Nonetheless, he would be too exhausted to even think about it.

"Alright team, good work on taking care of Miyamoto, it is getting pretty dark outside." Cloud would look at the sky as it would be pitch black during the night.

"I do have a house if you guys want to stay in there for a while, it is my pleasure after all you did just beat one of the biggest issues I've had during this time of making a bridge, so I am delighted to." Miyamoto would say smiling at Team 7. He would then guide them towards his house.

They would enter the house to see that nobody is inside the house.

"You don't live with anybody Miyamoto?" Cloud would ask looking around the house to see if there's anybody that's in the house. Miyamoto hearing this would get silent for a bit thinking about his own past.

"No, I don't live with anybody, at least not anymore." Miyamoto would ask as he would tell them of his own past.

"I've had a wife and child before when the Land of Waves were very peaceful, nobody had ever had problems with each other, and we all lived at peace. When I started making the bridge some years ago, a large group of gang members all under Karasu would terrorize the bridge and kill many of our people, including my wife and child in the process, that's why I've never been able to recover from that and I've always been drunk. Miyamoto would say as he would take another drink of Sake.

Team 7 in a way would be hurt by his tragedy that he had to face during the time that these gang members were here to terrorize these people, this especially hurted Taiyo as he hates to see the Tragedy of people. People like Miyamoto never truly deserved to lose their families, all he was at the end of the day was a bridge builder. Shiro wouldn't show expression towards this externally but inside his mind he was also deeply hurt because of a similar cause.

War, the same war that kills many people around the globe and the same war that everybody wants to fight in just so they can achieve peace but what is peace when there's a war. To Shiro, peace is just another scheme to get people to fight even more to kill themselves off one by one until everybody is eventually erased.

Cloud would try to lighten up the mood as it would be too dark in here as he would offer to cook for everybody as they would gladly accept. Even through the cooking and the eating and having a good time, Taiyo would think nothing else but the constant issue that's at hand with Miyamoto and everybody else.

"How can some people just be so heartless to each other. How can people be okay with taking their own lives or taking other people's lives away from them." Taiyo would think to himself before finishing his food. He would then head off to bed where he would slowly drift away to sleep. But when he wakes up, he's in a deep and dark place with a big cage, no lights and a massive chakra Prescence near him.

Taiyo would walk down the dark and big hall with water on his feet as he would look up to see a huge cage, the cage would have a sort of sealing on it that looks exactly like the same thing Taiyo would see around his stomach, but as he gets closer, he would hear a growl of a big creature as Taiyo would freeze out of terror. He would see the eyes and claws of the huge figure.

"Human, you will not survive much longer, soon I will take over your body and have my revenge against humanity..." The Big Creature would say before Taiyo would wake up out of his sleep realizing that it was only just a dream. It would be the next morning as Miyamoto would already be out working on the bridge. Cloud would offer to train Team 7 on Chakra control and how to climb up a tree using only their feet.

Cloud would walk up the tree the first time perfecting it as he would be able to climb up to the top of the tree and climb back down with no issue. "If you want to learn how to do chakra control on trees, make sure to input enough chakra on your feet to keep your legs from falling back down, but don't make it too much where your legs will be pushed off the tree." Cloud would say as he would jump back down from the tree.

Hikadai would perfect chakra control on the tree on the second try he would do it as he would walk back into the house to chill. Shiro and Taiyo would be working at Chakra Control for hours as they would always either not have enough chakra to keep them placed or too much chakra to stay still. Taiyo would look at Shiro as he would continuously keep on failing to do a perfect control.

"It looks like you need help there stupid." Taiyo would say as Shiro would fail another attempt on trying to climb the tree, he would start to get aggravated as he would hear the words from Taiyo. "Nobody needs help Taiyo, the only person that needs help on anything is you inferior, not being able to do anything as a shinobi, don't criticize me about anything. Shiro would say as he would fail once again to walk up the tree.

Taiyo on the next try of hearing Shiro say this would finally walk up the tree with control on his feet as he would stick his tounge out at victory for finally getting to do chakra control. "Let's see you do that, Mr., "Superior" of the Zephyr clan." This would only work towards making Shiro more angered at the fact that Taiyo has completed something before him.

Shiro would complete the chakra control 20 minutes after Taiyo completes it as after that he would begin training rigorously to one up Taiyo because in his mind, he would never recover from being 1 up'ed by an inferior.

======================================== RYUDO & NIN ========================================================

Ryudo would wake up to see the Nin that took him away from Team 7 as he would clear his mind and try to remember what happened. "What took you so long to come over here Mizuchi." Ryudo would say as he would take off Mizuchi's mask to give her a kiss on the lips. (His girlfriend and they are both same age)

"I'm sorry it took me so long to get here, I had got caught by some other Kirigakure Nin and I tried to outrun them so it took me a while to get out of their sights, luckily they haven't caught me obviously." Mizuchi said.

"At Least your okay but Cloud Namikaze, he's a Major threat for our success of this mission, he is more powerful than you think bae." Ryudo said

.

"I see, but I guess we shouldn't underestimate a 3rd shinobi world war legend, Cloud Namikaze of the Stormbreaker, he certainly lived up to his fathers hype as expected." Mizuchi said as they would give each other another kiss again. Karasu would enter the room with his gang seeing these two lovebirds kiss.

"So, when are you two going to take out the builder and their protectors?" Karasu would say as he would send death stares at Ryudo and Mizuchi.

"We will kill them whenever the chances are with us, for now they are still roaming around." Ryudo would say with his sword on his back. He would have last patience for Karasu as he would just be asking them to do this as if they were his slaves, one way or another he will kill Karasu after this mission is done.

"Good, and I better see their bodys next to my feet before they ever finish this bridge." Karasu would say as he would look at a picture of Miyamoto and his family as he would exit the room.
