Chapter 5: Episode 5
Yugito Akkipuden Episode 5: Danger
WARNING: All Jutsu are in Japanese with the English Version in parenthesis.
Dee's squad led Team 5 to small camp site surrounded by trees. The sun was going down slowly but surely. As night began to fall, Dee and Hayate set out for a little fire wood. They are walking together, scanning for fire wood in the forest.
Dee: Pretty decent squad you got, Hayate.
Hayate: It seems that your squad is pretty good as well. I wonder how you all work together. Hmm…
Dee: You and…
Hayate: Seiji.
Dee: Seiji read what Yugito was doing and reacted perfectly.
Hayate: We're been together for some time now. We read each other well.
Dee: And I noticed Seiji lost his temper and went using Raiton no Yoroi (Lightning Style Armor). Those Iwagakure Shinobi has no right to disrespect him or the Kumogakure.
Hayate: He rarely uses the Raiton no Yoroi because it takes up so much chakra. He can only do it for up to five minutes at a time before it really starts to drain him. Hmm.
Dee (after a long pause): I have a question, and I mean no disrespect. Was Seiji a Kumo ninja at some point?
Hayate: Hmm… Not exactly. He was born in the Kumogakure and at age 8, villagers killed his parents because they were accused of not be loyal to the Kumogakure, but to the Kirigakure.
Dee: What?! He was loyal to the Kirigakure?
Hayate: No. They were wrongfully accused. So, he abandoned his village and passed out in a forest in the Land of Fire. Anbu Black Ops found him and brought him back to the Konohagakure, gave him a place, and Lord Hokage gives him money every month for living expenses. He doesn't talk about his past too much, but he gets offended if someone picks at him or if someone soils the Kumogakure's good name.
Dee: So that means he's still somewhat loyal to his original village?
Hayate: I don't know that much, but I do know he misses his village.
Dee (thinking): Poor guy…
Just then, a sword flew straight past them and stuck into a tree behind them.
Hayate: Move!
They jumped up to the trees.
Dee: Where the hell did that come from?
Hayate: I don't know, but I noticed it had a thin white string attached to it. That more than likely means that the sword can be pulled back to the user. Hmm!
Dee: Look out!
An oversized, 6 foot long weapon crashed through the tree they were on. They jumped to another thick branch.
Hayate: Thanks!
Dee: No problem!
Hayate: Get down! (lowers Dee's head and his own)
Dee: Damn! I didn't get a good look at it earlier! It's an oversized Boomerang!
Hayate: We need to spot them!
Dee: During the flash, seek out the enemy!
Hayate: Hmm?!
Dee: Raigen: Raikōchū! (Lightning Illusion: Flash Pillar)
An extremely bright light came from Dee. It was like his body was a human flare.
Dee: Do you see them?
Hayate: Yes! Two males! I don't see a third squad mate!
Out of the corner of his eyes, Hayate saw a figure leaping for him. He jumped back to another tree branch as the figure barely missed him. Dee released the Flash Pillar and drew his sword.
Hayate: The pink haired girl uses metal claws! She must be a direct Taijutsu fighter! And from what I can see, she's extremely fast!
Dee: Hayate, look at their headbands.
He looked and noticed the Kirigakure's insignia.
Hayate: Hidden Mist Shinobi…
The Hidden Mist natives regrouped on a branch across from Hayate and Dee. The Boomerang wielder had bandages all around his neck and on the lower portion of his nose, covering from his nose down. The wielder of the Needle Blade had a porcelain mask on with dark red triangles evenly stretching down the cheeks of the mask. The pink haired girl was squatting down and was rested on of her forearms on her knee. The other hand was placed firmly on the branch for balance. She had blue eyes and a K9 tooth on the left side of her mouth came down slightly over her bottom lip.
Pink Haired Girl: Just so you know, we don't care which scrolls you have. We will attack, and we won't yield until you two are dead!
Dee: Is there a reason you come after us with motives? If you don't care about the scrolls, then why?
Boomerang Wielder: Nothing personal. We already have both the Heaven and the Earth scroll. In fact, we have a few of each. We are hunting down squads so the next test will be a breeze.
Needle Blade Wielder: Now, brace yourselves!
Dee and Hayate's eyes opened wide. The pink haired girl dashed from tree to tree, latching on to each for a brief moment before jumping from each, and lunged for Dee.
Pink Haired Girl: Here cutie, cutie!
He shrieked like a tiger and locked blades with Dee. He began channeling his chakra to his sword to pass lightning through it and shock the girl. She pushed off of his blade and did a 450 degree back flip, landing on a branch. She dug her claws onto the tree branch to catch herself.
Dee (thinking): Dammit… She is fast. She got back before my Raiton fully passed through my Katana.
The Boomerang wielder slung his Boomerang at Dee and the Needle Blade wielder through his Needle Blade at Hayate. Hayate flash stepped to the left and dodged it.
Hayate (thinking): Wait, that's not just some needle on a string. I recognize that blade!
He looked at Dee.
Hayate: Dee! That needle is actually the Needle Blade of the famed Kushimaru Kuria'rare!
Dee: The ex-member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist? Holy shit…
Hayate: Katon: Karyū Endan! (Dragon Flame Bomb)
He expelled two individual Dragon Flame Bombs from his mouth onto a wire string he secretly set up. The pink haired girl felt a tug on her waist. A single wire string was attached to her.
Hayate (thinking): Since I haven't fully mastered the jutsu, I need a wire string to guide it. But she won't have time to react.
She panicked and cut the string right before the jutsu could get to her.
Hayate: Shit! She cut the wire before my Katon could reach her. Hmm…
The Dragon Flame Bombs escaped the string and went off in two directions, completely missing the opponents. Unnoticed, the Needle Bladed wielder had thrown his weapon again. Catching him by surprise, it pierced through the right side of Hayate's chest and stuck into the tree trunk a couple of meters behind him.
Hayate: Grr-ahhah! (coughs up blood)
Dee: Hayate!
Hayate: He-He got me!
He runs for Hayate but is off by the pink haired girl. As he was running, she held out her Metal Cat Claws and jammed them into his stomach.
Dee: Aarrgh! Gaaghh! (thinking) Dammit! It hurts! It hurts so much!
He coughed up blood onto her arm and dropped his sword. She dug the claw in further and Dee yelled out and grabbed her arm.
Pink Haired Girl: This might be a bad time to tell you this, but you are kind of cute.
The Boomerang wielder cocked back for a throw.
Boomerang Wielder (thinking): One last throw. If I put enough spin on it, I can cut off both of their heads in one shot!
He slung the Boomerang, grunting while doing so. It was going for Hayate first.
Hayate (thinking): No! It's coming right for me! The more I move, the more the Needle Blade's string grinds against my lung!
As the Boomerang got dangerously close to him, two flashes of blue light zip by, one deflects the Boomerang and the other punched the pink haired girl in the face. She flew back and smacked back first into a thick tree. The Boomerang spun off and stuck into a tree. The second beam of blue light was standing on the Boomerang with its arms folded. It was Seiji and the one the protected Dee was Tarui. They both hand their Raiton no Yoroi activated and shortly after they saved Dee and Hayate, Yugito and Kamui jumped down from the trees and landed next to Hayate and Dee.
Yugito: Sorry we're late guys.
Kamui: We saw the Flash Pillar and got over here as quickly as possible.
Dee: At least you guys got here… Urrgh! (he clenched his stomach)
Dee began to tilt back and Kamui caught him. She laid him on his back and got on both knees, quickly beginning her Medical Ninjutsu on him.
Yugito (thinking): Medical Ninjutsu?
She looked over and saw that Hayate was tilting back as well.
Yugito: Hayate-kun!
She ran and caught him before he fell. She grabbed a kunai from its holster and cut the Needle Blade's string.
Hayate: Thank you… You for saving us…
Yugito: Shh. Don't waste your energy thanking me. Kamui will help you soon enough.
Seiji stomped on the Boomerang and snapped it in two. He jumped down and landed next to Tarui.
Boomerang Wielder (to Needle Blade Wielder): What shall we do?
The Needle Blade wielder looked down at their severely wounded partner. She was sitting up against the tree with her head hanging down.
Needle Blade Wielder: She's out cold. And right now, we're outnumbered 2 to 4. The odds are not in our favor.
Boomerang: And since my Boomerang was destroyed, it's more like 1½ versus 4. We should retreat while we have the chance to escape with our lives. Tarui and Seiji both formed the hand seal "Snake" simultaneously and a tennis ball sized ball of lightning chakra formed in front of their mouths.
Tarui and Seiji: Raiton: Gian!
Two strong beams of lightning are shot from their mouths at high speeds towards the two remaining enemies. The Kiri Shinobi successfully dodged the deadly Raiton attack. The Needle Blade wielder landed on the tree trunk behind the two squads to retrieve his blade. The Boomerang wielder landed on a different branch closer to the pink haired girl. Yugito was already on her way to the Boomerang wielder with a Rasengan in her right hand.
Yugito: Haaahh! Rasengan!
She rained down from above him at a diagonal angle and the devastating Rasengan hit him right in the center of his chest. Once the Rasengan imploded on his chest, he was sent bouncing off of the tree branches and colliding horizontally against a tree, breaking his back. The Needle Blade wielder's eyes grew wide. He retrieved his weapon and jumped back to his teammates. Everyone looked as he did a one handed Seal of Confrontation and put his left hand above his head, also doing a Seal of Confrontation.
Tarui: Get ready!
Needle Blade Wielder: Kirigakure no Jutsu! (Hiding in Mist Technique)
He created a thick layer of mist in the trees. Immediately afterward, he disappeared into the mist.
Seiji: Dammit! Don't let him get away!
Yugito: Seiji-san! Stop! Don't go after them into the mist. That's not smart.
He grunted to himself out of frustration.
Needle Blade Wielder (from within the mist): You've beaten us this time, but you'll see us again.
Seiji: Come out here and fight, you bastard!
The mist began to clear up and all three Kirigakure natives were gone. Yugito spotted three scrolls on the ground where the guy that she knocked out landed.
Yugito: Scrolls guys.
She walked over to them and saw two Heaven scrolls and an Earth scroll. Seiji and Tarui walked up behind her and gradually released their Raiton no Yoroi. Yugito picked up the scrolls and handed Tarui an Earth scroll.
Tarui: Mission complete.
Seiji: Great! We each have a Heaven and an Earth scroll. We can go to the tower now!
Kamui: It's getting dark. We should head back to camp and hold out until morning.
Tarui: Thank you Yugito. And thank you Seiji.
Seiji: Anytime for an ally.
He cockily smiled at her and she smiled back. Yugito looked at Kamui healing Dee.
Yugito: After she heals him and Hayate-kun, we may have to carry them back to camp.
Tarui: Okay. We'll head out first thing as soon as we see sunlight.
Yugito and Seiji nodded to her and she went to accompany Kamui.
Seiji: I'll keep watch.
Yugito: Thank you.
Seiji: No problem.
He jumped to the trees. See looked at Hayate and walked over to him. She sat on both knees and started rubbing his hair as tears began forming in her eyes.
Yugito (thinking): I can't believe I almost lost you…
