Team 4 harbors the demon

A figure tapped a pipe over a ashtray and out came ashes. The black substance fell into the tray and the figure put some tobacco into the pipe. Dropping a match into the circular area which held the tobacco. Black smoke puffed up and the figure pressed a button on his desk. The button opened a intercom system which linked to downstairs and went to 2 guards. Out of the intercom system came his booming voice "Are those 4 here yet?" The guard jumped as he wasnt paying much attention to anything and the intercom surprised him, Quickly scrambling to the intercom he pressed the button and said "Um yes sir they are here, we will send them in" As the guard said those last few words he took out a small silver key and pressed it into the keyhole. Switching the key to the side he unlocked the door and opened it. Walking inside he bowed and provoked the 4 waiting outside to enter. They nodded and began to creep in. The sides of the hall where covered in fine tapestry which symbolized the villages insignia with every few inches after one ended. They walked upon a room which inside was circular. 4 sides laid on each edge of the room making an imaginary cross. The Shinobi that let them in led them up a staircase to their right. This one to was covered in tapestry, As they reached the top the hallway split in 2. They continued down the hall to the right, They walked down the hall for what seemed liked 5 minutes until they hit their final door. It was embroidered with gold and in the middle also expanding to the walls was the village insignia. The shinobi took a key from his pocket and unlocked the door. As he opened it he stepped to the side and let the 4 pass into the room. Closing the door behind them the shinobi locked it once again. They all stood behind their squad leader. A jounin by the name of Oshima. Before them was the AkumaKage, the man sat leaned back in a leather chair. In his mouth was a pipe, the Akumakage took the pipe out and placed it in a tray. Looking all 4 of them over he said "Well as you know this will be one of your first missions, and as your unusual roster we have decided to send you on a b-rank mission, Now i know this might be a bit over the top but outside of the village walls there have been reports of missing nin raiding passing caravans, You mission is to hunt them down and kill them all, That is all your dismissed" as they all turned around kenshi the last one to walk out of the door thought of what kind of mission this would turn out to be.

The walk back down all of the stairs and back out of the front gate was actually quite boring and seemed as if it had took four times longer then when they went up. As they exited the building Oshima turned to them all and said "Well kids, this is the toughest mission we are going on, I expect that all of you to come back greatly injured" As Oshima said that he had a big smile on his face that made him seem happy to be saying such things, but he and his squadmates had already figured that Oshima had a tendency to love to deliver bad news. Letting out a small sigh Kenshi felt a small stab in his side, Looking over an behind his other teammate he saw Shihan, the only other boy on the team, other then oshima, Shihan seemed to be pointing down. As kenshi looked down he saw that the teamate he was looking behind, The only girl on the team who was name Gesea, had a tag stuck to her back that read "Kick me" Giving a low sigh Kenshi looked back at oshima who had finished talking about the mission. Shaking his head Kenshi reached back and removed the tag. But to his ignorance as he pulled the tag off it seemed as if it also released a single piece of silk that held her shirt together. As the silk fell to the ground his eyes opened wide and he knew what was to come next. Her shirt fell forward but she caught it in her arms, Kenshi froze and all 3 of the men looked away. Sadly for kenshi he heard Gesea say in a low growling and menacing voice "Kenshi!!!!!" He swallowed and felt a palm reach his face. Spinning around from the brute force he felt quite dizzy from it all. When he looked back Gesea had already pulled a extra shirt out of her backpack, Thanks to the suggestion of oshima for them all to do, Rubbing his face where gesea had hit him all he heard was Oshima sigh and tell them all to follow him. The next walk they took was to the 2 great statues leading into the village. Kenshi felt a great shiver up his spine like every other time he came here. Looking at them all Oshima took off his backpack and tok out 3 portable microphones, He then said "these earphones are for use to communicate with each other during the mission, if your ever in danger or have information just speak into it on channel 4, ok then Team 4 lets move out" With those words Oshima led the fresh team for out of the village walls with people talking behind them. the village was worried, but why? Kenshi had little idea or care he just wanted action.

Some miles away in the forest of Onigakure where the strong stood and the weak fell a man sat atop of a chair, in his hand was a piece of wood and in the other was a kunai. He cut the wood small slices of wood flew into the air and the rough sound of wood being sliced into. He took his hand a rubbed off the shavings that were left over. His face was covered by a piece of cloth and a headband hung upon his head with a slice down the middle. As he continued to cut 3 other men surrounded him and 2 women as well. After he finished finely carving the wood a 4th man appeared and bowed down to the apprent missing nin in the chair. With this he proclaimed to the missing nin "It seems as if the Akumakage has decided to send a team to attempt and disband us, and that boy with the bloodline is with them, what do you want us to do sir?" The missing nin leaned back into his chair and laughed. Then he stood up and addressed them all "You hear that the akumakage thinks he can kill us off, and worst of all he has sent a genin who has no idea of the power he possesses to do it. So why dont you all say to us going and greeting the little brat" the man finally sat down and put his fist to his cheek and stared into the forest. The others just sat there and smiled at the apprent happiness of the man

The forest outside of the village of the oni was actually quite for once, Kenshi could not remember such a day where the forest was calm and peaceful. Kenshi walked with a bored expression on his face along with the slap from gesea which still burned, As he walked he heard a voice shoot from the earphone after something had rustled in a bush nearby, of course kenshi ignored it not wanting to much extra work, It was Oshima "Kenshi, go check out that out, we dont need any surprises, after your done come to the cabin to meet up with us" Giving a sigh kenshi stopped walking and turned to the woods. Speak back into the earphone he said "yeah yeah im on it" Creeping down Kenshi walked into the brush, it was prickly and to him uneeded to be checked out. As he creeped around for at least 10 minutes he found a small clearing in which the tree's surrounded it in a circle. Kenshi walked to the middle of it and felt the wind brush against him and the leaves rustle behind him. The feeling of this place gave him A creepy feeling as if something was watching him. Kicking the dirt under his feet Kenshi noticed that there was a large shadow overshadowing him. Taking in a deep gulp kenshi hoped it was an ally and turned around. In front of him was one of the missing nin he was supposed to be hunting. this shinobi was much larger then kenshi and that alone made him back pedal some. Attempting to go to his earphone he hit the button and was able to only turn it on before the Shinobi kicked him in the stomach, Reeling over in pain Kenshi heard Shihan's voice come from the earphone "Kenshi! You there? hello? kenshi!" As kenshi gasped for air his teammates could only listen as what to happen. The shinobi attacking him refrained from words as his intentions where clear from the very first attack. Kenshi could her Shihan scream over the earpiece but kenshi couldnt respond he was in to much pain. Feeling a large brutish hand wrap around his throat and pick him up into the air Kenshi looked into the eyes of his assailant. The man had brown eyes that seemed vibrant and full of hate. He only observed his assailant for a second before he was throw into a tree. Using his Bloodline he was able to protect himself from most damage. Kenshi frowned and as the armor made on his back dissappears and bone claws from his hands he gets ready to fight. The missing nin Quickly attacks by swinging around with a kick at kenshi. Ducking under it kenshi believed would be the best action but just as the nin's foot passed overhead it came down and landed into kenshi's stomach. As kenshi slammed into the ground he attempted to crawl away from the manicidal attacker. He felt the man grab him by the back of his head, Throughout all of the fighting he could hear his teammates yell in his ear worried about him. Bloos dripped from the top of his head and blurred his vision. The last thing he remembers was hitting the ground and losing conciousness.

Back at the cabin Shihan continued to scream into the microphone as gesea looked out a window and oshima looked at papers on the desk. Rain began to steadily fall on the forest. "Oshima....i cant reach kenshi....all i here now is rain falling....her might be hurt or worse" Looking up from his place oshima sighed and said to shihan "Do not worry Shihan, im sure kenshi can take care of himself, after all the kage wouldnt have sent us off on a mission we couldnt survive" Gesea turned and gave a blank start are oshima as well as shihan did, even they knew that the kage would and most likely did "OSHIMA HE WOULD" that scream alone scared them all.

A twig snapped underneath his boot, the sound barely heard over the falling rain. Shounin had been walking through the forest for a while now. He had not made any friends nor did he think he ever would. He was just another misfit. His red eyes, a trait of his bloodline, didn't help any either. People were startled, creeped out, and sometimes just down right frightened by his pale skin, red eyes, and white hair. Shounin sighed to himself as rain pelted his face. He wished he had some friends. Shounin had tried to keep his mind off the topic by keeping himself busy with missions, but times like this without a mission left him thinking about it. Another thing he thought about as he walked through the woods is how much he hated his name. Such a worthless name he thought to himself as he squinted his eyes against the rain. I need a new name he thought to himself. He had been so preoccupied thinking about his problems that he hadn't noticed the object infront of him. Shounin tripped over what he thought was a log, landing face down in the mud. Cursing he stood up and took a look at his assailing log. Much to his surprise it wasn't a log at all, it was a ninja. The person was a ninja from his village, a genin also he noticed. He reached down and lifted the figure up, noting the blood on his face as he did. This person has been attacked he thought to himself. He shook the person a little and the person opened his eyes, staring at him with a dazed expression. "Who are you and what happened to you?" he asked, giving an extra shake for good measure.

Kenshi was dead? or asleep? he couldnt tell he was in darkness. he knew someone was shaking him but he couldnt speak to them. all he heard was some ask who he was and what had happened. he didnt respond, instead out of his earphone the man shaking him could hear his teammates yelling "Kenshi!! where are you! Did a mising nin get you! Kenshi!" the voice was shihan's but as usual they would have no response unless the new shinobi decided to pick it up and reply to them. Kenshi then dreamed, of his home, of his friends, of his village. He dreamed of power and weakness, he dreamed of enemies and allies. His bloodline trait for his claws resonated through him and the bone claws on his hands formed. Gripping the dirt with the claws he groaned and went limp.

Shounin heard voices coming from the earpiece the ninja was wearing. The ninja had quickly passed back out after gaining consciousness, poor guy must have gotten a bad beating Shounin thought. Missing ninja... this guy was on a mission to hunt missing ninja? Why was such a low ranked shinobi sent on such a mission? thoughts rushed through his head, that can wait til later. He picked up the headpiece and put it on. "Hello?" He said.

As Shounin put on the earpiece and had said hello Shihan said "hello? who is this? you arent kenshi?! Are you the one who attacked him!!" Then rustling could be heard and shihan could be heard cursing at someone as they took the earpiece from him. It was oshima and he to worried for kenshi, Clearly speaking into the earphone he said "I am Team 4 leader Oshima Tokinawa, and as i hear one of my students saying you are wearing kenshi's earphone, so tell us is he ok?" Oshima sounded more calm then worried and he also sounded as if he was happy he was right about his students ost likely becoming gravely injured

"Kenshi? So that is his name... He appears too be alright, possibly a concussion. From the look of the blood on his face he took a blow to the head. And my name, my name is...." He paused for a second. "You can call me.... Anti. And no i'm not the one that attacked him. Where is your team?"

Oshima let out great breathe and told the 2 teammates near him of the good news. Oshima then returned to the earphone and said "Thank you anti, you might have just saved his life. but dont worry about that concussion just find some way to wake him up. we need him to complete our mission" with that oshima released the earphone and gesea took it she yelled into it "Hello? yes well anti is it? we are in a cabin down the forest some. Dont come to us it wont help, we are going to try and track the ninja down if you need us just use that earphone and thank you" as gesea said that she turned off the earphone and left with the rest of the team to go track down the Missing nin

"Just great." he said to himself. "Well i tried everything else.." He said as he slid his dagger out of its sheath and flipped Kenshi over. He gave Kenshi a sharp prod to the back, making Kenshi yelp back to consciousness.

Kenshi felt something stab him in the back, he was frightened and mad. Giving a loud and short scream kenshi jumped up and reached for his back where he was stabbed. Soon realizing he could barely see he wiped the blood from the view of his eyes and looked around. Seeing a different shinobi there he said "Hey you arent that asshoel who came after me....but either way im awake now. so thanks man and um whats your name? mine is kenshi" Kenshi poked his wound and then realized his bone claws where still activated and cursed at himself

"Shounin Han, but you can call me Anti. And your team says you should continue with your mission, i dont have anything better to do so ill tag along if you dont mind." He told Kenshi. "Oh!" he said remembering. He held his hand out to Kenshi, the earpiece in it. "This is yours, i borrowed it, hope you dont mind."

Kenshi looked over and took the earpiece from anti. Putting it back on his head he held out a hand to him and said "Well its not everyday i meet a new friend, so lets hurry up and finish this mission, oh and thankyou for saving me" With the kenshi shook anti's hand and jumped off into the trees expecting anti to be in close pursuit if he intended to help with the mission. Kenshi then asked the anti he supposed would be behind him "Oh and i forgot, what rank are you? I dont see you in the village"

Anti chased after Kenshi. "I am a genin, but i keep to myself mostly. I dont have any friends in the village." he replied from behind Kenshi. Anti's eyes stung from the rain whipping into his eyes, but he didnt bother squinting. It had become hard to see very far and from what he had heard they were hunting missing ninja. So he must keep perfectly aware of his surroundings, and squinting would hinder that. He wondered if Kenshi was having the same issue as he chased after him.

Kenshi nodded to himself and worried about where he was headed as the only thing to give him a clue of where to go was the constant directions gesea had put on to him, as he heard anti speak he looked back and said "No friends? well that wont do now, me gesea and shihan will help you out and be your friends, yo watch out the missing nn that attacked me was a brute so he shouldnt be hard to spot" as kenshi finished that sentence he heared what sounded like rain hiting leather and stopped suddenly on a branch

Anti smiled for a second at what Kenshi said. The smile quickly vanished as they stopped. Someone was near.

Kenshi quickly jumped down from the tree branch slightly snapping it as he did. Landing on the ground with a quiet thud. Letting out his bloodline the claws appeared and he creeped forward. In a low hush he beckoned anti to follow him and he silently went onward. Kenshi found what he suspected and saw a tent. There was noone there or even around the area.But to kenshi it was just as good. As he turned around to talk to anti he felt the same brutish hand grab his head and pick him up from behind the bush he was hiding. Kicking to make the brute let go was useless as he outmatched them both

Anti smiled at the missing nin who had appeared. He was holding Kenshi with one arm on his head the other holding his body, as if to snap his neck. "If you hold him like that your going to die.. if I were you i would set him down gently and then kill yourself. As it is your incapacitated... and you never know what might happen."He said taunting the man. He had his hands behind his back making hand signs as he spoke.

Kenshi nodded and attempted to stab the man's arms who had him, slowly life began to drain from kenshi as the nin decided to completly ignore anti and start to squeeze kenshi's neck. Kenshi gargled and turned on his earphone. using his only free arm he tore it off his neck and threw it at anti, He couldnt speak so anti would have to do it for him. As he did that kenshi stabbed his claws back into the nin

Anti finished his jutsu. His hands stopped moving. He reached out and caught the earpiece, as he did black flames leapt from the ground behind the missing ninja. The missing ninja let out a yell of pain as kenshi stabbed him. Less than a second after the cry of pain left his mouth the flames shot onto the man, raising him into the air about 15 feet high. The missing ninja let go of Kenshi when the fire hit him. The man couldnt move any of his limbs. Anti smiled at the look on his face as a spear of black fire formed infront of the man. After a second the spear shot into the ninja's chest, coming out the back. For a couple seconds it stood there, the mans face in agony. After a second the fire vanished and the man fell to the ground with a loud thump. Chuckling Anti said "Well he wasnt too challenging was he kenshi.. what a maggot.. he died as soon as his lung was pierced. Are all missing ninja this wea-" he stopped as the shadow slowly rose. The missing ninja stood back up slowly, menacingly, a look of rage on his face. "shit.." Anti cursed.

Kenshi hit the ground and quickly scrambled to his feet, he watched the amazing jutsu performed by anti and was about to say something in congratulations to him before he realized that the missing nin had rose and anti had said shit looking over to anti kenshi looked frustrated and said "that just made him mad" Quickly looking back kenshi started to perform handsigns. The missing nin was now concentrated fully on anti. he began to rush at him

This guy is going to kill me.. he thought. He made a quick hand sign. "Oni Tai!" Black fire erupted around Anti. The missing ninja stopped running at seeing the eruption. "Whats wrong.." Said a different voice. The fire vanished. Anti stepped towards the missing ninja. His eyes were as black as night, his pupils as red as blood. His right arm was gone, covered up my what looked like black metal. The arm ended in a long sword. He laughed sadistically. He spoke again, his voice different than normal as if there were voices in one, "Whats the matter? Suddenly not so confident?" He smirked at the ninjas reaction. The ninja seemed to compose himself, he continued his rush at anti, raising his arm back, a dagger in hand prepared for a deadly blow. Anti shot forward, slamming the bladed arm into the missing ninjas blade. The two momentums canceled each other out. Anti laughed hysterically. This guy really is strong.. He matches my strength, if not a little stronger, when im fighting with my Oni.. he thought a little worried.

Kenshi saw anti hold of the nin with his jutsu but kenshi strived to quickly finish his hand signs, After forming several of them he jumped onto a tree branch and then jumped off of it and was over top of the nin's head. He then yelled "Katon Style: Dragonfire jutsu" As he proclaimed this fire spat from his mouth and engulfed the nin. The fire quickly burned his body and made him backpedal in pain. Using it to his advantage Kenshi dropped behind the nin and stabbed him in his mid back with his claws.

Kenshis claws protruded from the ninjas chest. The man was yelling in pain. Anti took the chance and leapt forward. Anti shoved his corrupted arm into the ninjas chest, inbetween kenshis claws. He pushed farther in, turning his arm upwards. Anti shoved his entire arm into the ninja. The tip of the blade coming of of the mans neck. The missing ninja made gurgling sounds as Anti ripped his arm out, leaving a gaping hole in the mans chest. "Good team work." Anti chuckled as blood spilled from the mans chest. He made a few hand signs, his arm disappearing into black fire and his eyes returning to normal. Kenshi still had his claws in the man. The ninjas eyes were still moving around. Anti couldnt tell if the man was alive or his brain spasming.

Kenshi pulled his claws out and kicked the man in his back, as the giant nin hit the ground he spasmed one more time before going completly limp. Taking in a deep breath of relief. As his hands returned to normal and he rubbed his throat he listened to anti. Kenshi then took the earpiece back from anti and said "yeah good teamwork, now then lets get going the final missing nin has been located" With that last sentence Kenshi once again jumped off into the trees expecting anti to be fully following him.

Anti leapt after Kenshi. Wondering what the final one would be like.
