#001: Stainless Death
Standing alone, in the middle of the thriving city square of konoha, a man, dressed in white robes and with a sword which levels his own height.
His face matches his attitude, mysterious and misleading; everyone who notices him instantly knows something is wrong.
The mysterious man silently looks around and under his breath he whispers….
“Game over”
At that moment, he digs his tremendous sword into the earth beneath him and shouts out…
‘Lightning Bolt Feast!’
The embedded sword starts to engulf its self in vivid lightning sparks, the ground lit up and started to crumble, slowing approaching another shady individual which stands at a long distance to him.
Sudden lightning tendrils drill from out of the ground, considerably damaging and more than likely killing the shady person who then drowns in his own blood as the crowd of people watch on in despair, only a few rush to his aid as the others only consider either if he’s alive or dead.
The killer picks up his sword which was used as his vengeful weapon and calmly walked on out of the bustling area only to his attention, three konoha ninja’s start to approach him with urgency.
Knowing this might be considered a flaw in his plan, the killer proceeds to run away from the site whilst being chased by the ninja’s who attempt to capture him
“Darn wannabe’s……I should kill them on the spot” he speaks with such a devilish tone
Too fast for the ninja’s he approaches the closed konoha gates, he abruptly stops and calls out…
‘Katon: Gouenkyuu’
At this instant, the door is reduced to dust as it is demolished within the mighty flames followed up progression out of the border of konoha. The man slowly turns around with a smirk from cheek to cheek.
“You dare leave you’re borders…..you enter my territory…” the man shouts out, with only the reply from one of the ninja’s, “we do not tend to you’re proposal”. The konoha ninja’s cross the gate and reach the wrath of the mysterious killer.
“Katon: Haisekishou”
He releases an immense amount of ash from his smiling mouth which covers the area, then flees as the ninja’s are bewildered by this and at the click from the teeth of the killer, the ninja’s are rendered helpless and burn, only becoming the ash which was first released.
Slowly walking away from the incident which occurred, he looked to the horizon, noticing a small team of ninja’s coming his way, not a spot of blood on this mans clean white robe, he looks totally innocent.
As they walk past each other, he gives a sly look to remember the faces of the amateurs and the team sensei, he recognises him, although not a big threat he gently walks on.
Once the team reached the gates of Konoha, burnt cinders and three scorched corpses lay in their wake.
The teacher rushes to aid the men and carries them off, although one student is in a state of shock to what he has seen, he tries to communicate to the sensei
‘Ki…..Kiba…?’
They’re teacher slowly replies “Don’t worry, it will be alright, I’ll deliver them to a medic as soon as possible, no! quicker than that!” at that moment, Kiba runs into konoha with the men on his back and two more on his companion.
The boy suddenly remembers the face of the man they witnessed beforehand and becomes confused by his appearance, out of the blue he rushes back down the road they followed to reach the area, in search for the mysterious man….
The killer steadily walks forward with a face which seems to be fixed on something in particular, dragging his sword along the ground, scoring his direction as if it were a trail.
“You!” a trembling and out of breath boy cried out, “what have you done?!”
The man slowly turns his head to create eye contact with the boy and replies “Me? I’ve done what is needed!”
