The night was calm, however, throughout the forest, below the midnight sky, the clash of kunai with shuriken was well heard along with the screams of the dying. A battle was being waged beneath the canopy of trees that made up the woods along the country border. Six male ninja, shinobi, stood in a circle in the middle of a clearing that lay deep in this dense forest. Sweat dripped from beneath their Kirigakure headbands as weapons trembled in their hands.
"Did anyone see where the enemy went?!" one of the Kirigakure ninja, cried out. "They move like shadows! There must be at least 10 of them; they took out our entire squad!" His comrade looked around nervously as he spoke.
"Jakotsu, quiet you fool; you'll give away our position with your racket." Barked an older looking man, who was obviously the leader of the remaining squad members. "Keep your shit together and we'll gain the upper hand." He continued as he scanned the surrounding area with fear in his eyes. The moonlight above was bright and cast shadows upon the ground. He hoped to catch even a glimpse of the squad that had been pursuing his men for hours.
Suddenly from the shadow of nearby trees two figures appeared, walking slowly and steadily toward the group of ninja. From the twelve' o clock point was a boy with short spiky black hair. He wore dark clothing consisting of shorts and a short-sleeved shirt with an Uchiha clan symbol over the left breast underneath a cloak. Strapped to his arms and legs were sleeves of kunai. He stood no more than three feet in height and carried a ninjato in his left hand, while his right held a fistful of shuriken. To the ninja who watched him approach he appeared to be just a child no more than five or six.
From their six' o clock position a girl walked with long straight black hair. She was older than the young male but not by much from what the men could see as she passed under the pale moonlight. She stood only a few inches taller than the boy and was dressed in a midnight blue qipao dress. In her hand she held what appeared to be a custom katana with the Uchiha insignia engraved into the hilt. The sword was almost as big as her. As a cloud passed overhead and blocked out the moon all the men could see through the pitch black darkness of the night was the piercing gaze of her blood red eyes devoid of all emotion save one, bloodlust.
"They are only children?" Jakotsu, the man who had been making noise before gasped aloud relief filling his voice. His comrades however seemed to look rather confused and worried. "This is bullshit there is no way we have been getting slaughtered by these two kids ,right Manju. It's just not possible." He continued raising his spear. The leader, Manju raised his kunai and narrowed his eyes as confidence flooded his body. The others followed suit after seeing their leader prepare his weapon and now held their weapons with more confidence as their enemy had revealed themselves. "Let's take them down, even if they are kids they still need to die!" Manju ordered.
The girl smiled with a devilish grin before quickly performing several hand signs and creating a stream of fire from her mouth that surrounded the six men. "Fire Style: Running Flames Jutsu" In an instant their vision was obscured by the roaring fire and thick obsidian smoke. The two figures disappeared from their sight and caused the fear that had left them to instantly return.
"Stand fast men, they're just trying to rattle us. Do not break forma-" Manju's words were cut off as two wolves made entirely from electrical energy burst from the flames and took him down along with another one of the men. "Lightning Style: Raging Beast Jutsu." Mere seconds after the remaining four saw their leader and teammate fall the young male appeared underneath another one of them dragging him underground. "Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu".
As the flames cleared around them the men realized there were now only three of them remaining. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? QUICKLY GET INTO A THREE MAN FORMATION!" one of them cried out. The three of them quickly put their backs together and formed a circle before performing several hand-signs in perfect unison. "Ninja Art: Hidden in the Mist Jutsu" The surrounding area soon became dense with fog. One of the men breathed a small sigh of relief as the mist shrouded them. "This is perfect. There is no way they cou-".
The sound of bird wings filled the air as if a flock of them had started flying away at once and before he could finish his sentence the shinobi was impaled by that hand of the small child. The boy's hand was surrounded with lightning, but instead of a brilliant white or blue it was an ecstatic black and danced around his palm. "Flapping Chidori". The older ninja coughed up blood and looked down in horror at the boy who had killed him. "Ju-Just who are you…" he muttered before the life left his body causing it to slump.
The young shinobi ripped his arm out and let the body fall. Shaking blood and entrails from his arm and hand he turned to look at the two remaining targets who were merely shaking. The heavy mist which had been summoned was parted and blown away as the kunoichi approached and stood beside her partner. The boy smirked in a manner that was eerily similar to the girls from earlier and closed his eyes.
Simultaneously opening their eyes the two young Uchiha revealed crimson-colored irises to their victims. The boy with three tomoe in both eyes, proof of his mastery; and the girl with a two tomoe in both of hers stared down at the terrified men with satisfied grins on their faces. It was a gaze that pierced the very soul of the two men standing there.
One of them instantly knew. The two children were of Uchiha blood. "Natsumo we need to run. I know who these two are! They're the spawn of the Devil's Flame the two demon children of the Uchiha clan, Ichimaru and Kaname Uchiha!" one of the two remaining men spoke fear lacing his every word.
The two stood unfazed by his statement, but the boy's grin however widened. "Go back and tell your village of us. Tell them if another attack is launched against the Konaha then we will not stop until all of Kirigakure has fallen." The girl known as Kaname had a voice which boomed in the ears of the two ninja. They quickly turned and began to run off.
"Hey, Kaname…… how many ninja does it take to deliver a message?" Ichimaru spoke with a smirk as he put his blade on his shoulder. "Only one." Kaname replied and quickly threw a barbed kunai which impaled one of the Kirigakure ninja, the one named Natsumo, in the back of the neck. The Uchiha siblings watched as he fell from the tree limb he had been on into the bushes below and turned away sharply.
"Another successful mission, onee-sama. Come on lets go back and make the report." Ichimaru stated sheathing his ninjato beneath his cloak. Kaname looked up at the moon as the clouds passed by the reveal its golden pale light. Finally the second tomoe in her eye had finally awoken.
