The tempest mercenary of the elemental nations.
Chapter 1: birth of a storm.
A small 6-year-old boy was returning home from town in a good mood with a small cart with supplies trailing behind him.
He had black hair bordering on dark blue with bright blue eyes and simple farming clothes.
He lived in a farm in wind country bordering on the land of rivers.
A few days ago, he managed to overhear his parents talking about them having a baby on the way, meaning he was going to be a big brother.
His parents wanted to come along but he said he was old enough to go by himself, wanting to use the opportunity to buy a gift.
He couldn't be happier if he tried because he always wanted to be an older brother.
But all of a sudden, a feeling of dread came over him and moments later he felt a genjutsu his father placed on him dispelling.
Looking at mirror he bought earlier he say that his left eye changed from azure blue to bright yellow meaning something must be going on at home.
He quickly pulled a storage scroll from his sleeves and used in the cart in order to quickly run back home.
After a few minutes he saw smoke coming from the direction of his home causing him to start enhancing his speed with a small amount of chakra, hoping that he gets back fast enough to help his parents with whatever is going on.
After ten minutes he got atop a hill overlooking his home only for his eyes to widen in horror, he saw his mom impaled trough the stomach by a spear of rock coming from the ground surrounded in three bodies while bloodied bandages hung loosely of her lifeless form and his father tackling two more man in a growing pool of lava.
He couldn't believe it, while he was out shopping a group of shinobi attacked his home and killed his parents.
He wanted to scream, to cry, to recklessly rush in and kill them all, but he couldn't do that, he'll die the moment the intruders notice him.
So, he steeled his resolve and calmed his nerves knowing that if he wanted to take them down, he needed to do this right.
So, with all the stealth he could muster he started coming closer in order to assess the situation.
Taking a good look at the shinobi he quicky deduced the culprits.
The all wore white masks indicating ANBU level, they wore red clothing with brown flat jackets with a tattoo looking like two builders meaning that they were from Iwa.
One of the men held up his hands and the others conferred to him, guessing he's gonna talk he channeled chakra to his ears to overhear what they are gonna say.
''Perimeter secured targets neutralized'' said the one he presumes is in charge, ''yea but it wasn't as smooth as we assumed, i mean we knew to bitch is a retired chunin close to jonin and all, but her husband was clearly not a fighter yet had the guts to pull wasp and vulture in my lava pit jutsu'', said a tall and bulky ANBU.
''didn't the two of them not have a brat?'' said a feminine voice.
''nah don't worry about that, I overheard them talking about him going to town or something like that, it's not something to concern ourselves about, our mission is to eliminate the couple and destroy the farm to weaken Suna before the war starts.''
The shinobi kept talking while the boy felt rage boiling as he kept listening to the group of murderers.
''focus everyone our mission isn't done yet, spread out and place the explosive tags at the planned locations to make sure nothing remains of this place, SIR YES SIR!''.
As the group split into four groups the boy decided that this was his chance to get rid of them, so he grabbed a small knife made of chakra metal and focused his chakra into making three shadow clones and made them follow three of the groups while going after the leader himself hoping that his chakra control training combined with his games of hide and seek along with having the homefield advantage is enough to survive this ordeal.
With one of the shadow clones.
The clone used all the stealth it had to climb on top of the sealing of the barn atop two of the shinobi when they changed their mask and started talking in a dead monotone sounding voice.
''mission successful, with manipulating Iwa into a preemptive strike, Suna will be more open to allying itself with Konoha in the upcoming war giving us more leeway in operations to come''.
He couldn't believe it; it wasn't just Iwa but Konoha as well, Suna and Konoha are allies so why do this, are the thoughts going through the clone's mind.
''this will make it easier for lord Danzo to take over Suna to strengthen his forces in order for our true Hokage to take place''.
''Danzo, I remember dad and toad gramps talking about him, a Warhawk manipulating events behind the scenes in order to become Hokage, so he's the one behind all this, using Iwa and the war for his own selfish ambitions''.
''FOR THE ROOTS BENEETH THE GREAT TREE, FOR THE LORD DANZO THE TRUE HOKAGE'' the two said in perfect sync like they said it a thousand times.
He heard enough, he soundlessly dropped to the floor in a crouch and jumped onto one of the ROOT shinobi stabbing him in the back of the neck, before the second one could react, he channeled chakra to his knife and threw it as fast as he could hitting him right between the eyes causing the mask to split in half revealing a sharp face with onyx colored eyes.
Controlling his breathing with his first kills he watched as the bodies combusted into blue flames reducing the bodies to dust leaving only the cracked mask behind.
The clone picked it up and put the pieces together to show a blank mask with the kanji for ROOT on the inside, he looked around and decided to hide the mask behind a haybale after it dispelled itself.
With the original
While the clones are dispatching their targets (giving the boy 3 more perspectives of his first kills) the original is stalking the assumed leader behind a tree waiting for his moment to strike, he didn't need to wait long as a flash of blue light came from the barn causing a distraction for the shinobi.
With all the speed he could muster he ran for the men stabbing him in the heart before he could realize what had happened, he turned around to see a six-year-old boy looking at him with pain in his heterochromatic eyes before his vision turned dark.
For a moment the boy just looked at the body of the Iwa shinobi until he felt the memories of his first kills came to him with the dispelling of the shadow clones, the feelings of grief guilt and disgust came over him making him stumble to the ground while trying to keep him lunch in, however his instincts were screaming danger so he quickly rolled out of the way while getting a shallow cut from a shuriken flying be on the left side of his face looking up to see another Iwa ANBU with a lion mask.
''what did you do you little brat, you killed them all''.
Upon hearing those words something snapped, and rage took over.
''what did I do'' he said barely above a whisper while the clouds turned dark.
''what did I do'' he said in a normal voice while the wind started picking up speed.
''What did I do!'' he screamed while electricity started discharging in the sky.
''you monsters killed my parents and want to destroy my home and you ask me what did I do'' bolts of lightning stuck the ground around the two responding to the emotions of the boy.
The ANBU went wide eyed behind the mask, not understanding how this is happening, he knew that what his team has done was wrong and somewhere down the line in his career he would come to regret his actions, he could never imagine that it would happen this way, to see a six-year-old boy killing his remaining teammates and now suddenly effecting the weather with his emotions, he tensed his muscles and prepared to end the boy before it was too late.
The boy saw the ANBU charge and draw his blade in and jump up in an attempt to end his life causing his chakra to spike.
''go away!'' he screamed while a bolt of lightning dropped from the sky directed toward the ANBU's blade causing the electricity to engulf his body in mid-air which in a matter of moments caused his body to combust end disintegrate leaving nothing behind.
After a moment of realizing what happened he looked around to see his home being pelted by lightning, ''no please stop no this can't be happening stop it!'' he pleaded to the sky only to see a flash of light and heard a familiar voice screaming his name.
Chapter one is done man this is an interesting experience.
Coming up with everything, double checking lines for spelling and to add a few details things, the time it took to write it all it's an odd feeling alright.
Gotta wonder how things will proceed with all everything going on.
Welp in any case comment, follow, recommend it to your friends and all that good stuff.
Hope to see you all in chapter 2 toad sage and slug princess.
Thanks for watching :)
