I'm beginning a side story with fights that might happen in the future with a fully grown up Andrew and all of his abilites. This is just part one and will differ from the story line. I need time to plan out the rest of the story so for now enjoy some side content. FYI before you get mad this isn't the full fight thus the part 1 and there will be a part 2... one day.

SIDE STORY Part 1

TCHING
TCHING TCHING

'Hff, huff, huff'

BOOM

"Is my bounty really that appetising?"

"Of course it is, but that's not the prize I want." The man gave a sadistic grin as he glared at Andrew as if he was staring at his next meal.

"I want your head on a silver platter." He licked his lips and readied himself for another strike.

The opponent he was facing didn't use weapons or ninja tools but his fists. But this wasn't the problem. It was his regenerative skills.
Andrew relaxed his body as he felt his chakra spread throughout his body. He then tensed his muscles and launched himself forward, slicing his opponent at an indistinguishable speed and with him, his arm.

Looking back the man in his black cloak and sadistic smile grew what could only be described as tentacles out of his missing arm and reattached it to his body. No matter what damage he took his body would stitch itself back together with its tentacles. This was the true weapon that man used. For the life of Andrew he couldn't figure out who this opponent was. He knew the majority of names in the bingo book and bounty hunters but he was neither. His name was nowhere to be found. Just who was this no name sadist?

'I could fall back to the forest behind me but then I wouldn't have a clear line of sight and it would be a game of cat and mouse.' I have to fight him here on open ground.'
Andrew's thoughts ran with strategies of how to defeat his opponent and one came to mind.
He created distance and threw 3 kunai.
"What's with your aim all of a sudden, you're not even hitting close to me!" The man erupted into laughter and his grin started to get on Andrew's nerves. It was disgusting.

Andrew gave a smirk in reply and rushed forward covering his sword in lightning. He then launched it like a javelin into the centre next to his opponent.
"Right on target." Andrew muttered and the chakra he poured into the kunai erupted into the ground around it, focusing on the centre of the triangle where the sword landed as chakra leaked from it. The lightning chakra nature spread into the ground paralysing his opponent.

It was a jutsu Andrew Improvised often utilising Earth seals on his kunai to help with the spread of chakra into the ground.

"Impressive." The man said, clapping his hands. It was heartfelt praise but it felt more mocking and infuriating.

"Shut your trap you piece of fucking filth!" Andrew advanced towards the opponent. He didn't have a weapon now that he disregarded his sword but that wouldn't stop him. He threw shuriken to lead the advance while he utilised the shadow clone jutsu to overwhelm his ensnared opponent. His shadow clones and he used kunai and slashed the man's back leg and arms in an attempt to disable the man. Andrew grabbed his sword from the ground and in one swift decisive move with no hesitation cut off the man's head assuming that without messages from the brain his body would die.

Andrew had his prey in his eyes and was about to finish the fight.

"Pfft, hahahaha." The man once again burst into laughter and his grin grew more showing razor sharp yellow teeth that could only be seen in a horror movie. He was truly a monster beyond recognition in human form.
The tentacles grew from the dislodged head and reattached with tentacles coming from the main body.

"Just what are you?" Andrew watched on, hiding his disbelief.
"Exactly what you think. A monster." The man was no longer grinning and looked Andrew in the eyes with deadly seriousness. A cold shudder ran down his spine. If Andrew was an elusive fox chasing a rabbit, then he was a hawk with the personality of a snake watching the chase from above.

His fight or flight response kicked in and for the first time in a long time Andrew wanted to run. He felt fear. Genuine fear! Sweat ran down from his brow, not from overexertion but from the cold stare he was getting. If one stares into the abyss for too long, The abyss will stare back. And he was now standing in front of that abyss. devoid of all emotion, only knowing how to spread terror and violence. Toying with an opponent before torturing them, this is what Andrew saw from him. And he had to fight with every fibre of his being to stay standing, to stay fighting. He subconsciously activated his mangekyo sharingan which had edges like lightning bolts and daggers intertwined with one another reaching out into the sea of red his iris had now become.
"Now this wasn't in the bingo book!" The man's demeanour suddenly changed back to how he was before and he licked his lips as the fully developed sharingan took to the forefront.

"How appetising."

Andrew was still in a sweat trying to come up with a plan refusing to forget the fear he felt as he calmed down.

Now wasn't the time to be distracted.
