Chapter 20

"Third POV"

It has been 3 weeks since his meeting with the uzu council and during that time he has been polishing his skills. Kyoshi had added few new techniques in this period. He focused on mass destruction type jutsu so that he could act as deterrent to the enemy forces for the future. Just because they failed once doesn't mean they won't try again. This time enemy hid their intentions to avoid the ire of other countries but once this thing blows over, they won't have any problem invading openly as they will already be exposed. That's why kyoshi was going to scare them to even think about doing this again.

Kyoshi had found out from a clone he had stationed in wave that the shinobi presence had been found disguised as civilians. He expected the plan to be executed tomorrow so kyoshi ordered the village to be in alert for all the time.

kyoshi then issued a curfew for 2 days for all resident of uzu and overlapped the barrier surrounding the village with his new discovery the hirashin mk 3 which allowed him to use the already existing barrier to be used as space time rift to teleport all incoming attacks. This was just a precaution as he didn't expect any attack to get past him and his entourage.

The midnight was when the attack started. It was mostly a subterfuge and counter subterfuge between kyoshi and the offending party in the forest surrounding the village but it still took enemies to the crack of dawn to find out that all their scouting party has been eliminated. This made the attackers aware of the their invasion being exposed to uzushio. So they decided to attack openly and assemble their troops.

In the leadership of three nidaime kage, the attack commenced. The allied shinobi forces with high morale decided to attack through the front gate but when they saw a lone masked man wearing a white cloak standing between the village gate and them. while shinobi with uzushio hitai ate were standing inside the open gate looking concerned.

The unusualness of the situation put the kages at edge. An unknown person with no visible indication of having any relation with the uzushio was Infront of them seemingly against the allied forces.

The allied forces broke out into wild murmurs. The mizukage being the most flamboyant and open person ordered his subordinates to silence while other kage also responded the same way.

The mizukage seeing the situation moving nowhere decided to ask the stranger of his motive straight away.

"You there! who are you? why are you standing silently on our way?" mizukage ordered the stranger.

"…"

but Kyoshi didnot answer and glared at the shinobi in front of him pointedly intimidating weak willed ones. the mizukage seeing him not answering only got angrier and shouted again,

" Hey kid! didn't you hear me? answer my questions right now if you don't want to die."

Even uzushio shinobi were getting antsy due to the pressure. The allied forces numbered in thousands. The uzushio even though was powerful would have been run over by wave upon wave of enemies. Even a mountain gets carved by drops of rain over time. Being surrounded by such large numbers, their strength would be whittled down eventually. They could honestly say that the uzushiogakure would have been wiped out if they had no outer help. But now a powerhouse like Shikyo was with them, they could somewhat calm their mind of their survival.

Kyoshi after seeing the anger of mizukage decided to answer,

"Who am I ask? you don't need to know that. you just need to know that the village you are trying to attack is from now on my village. all the people are my subjects and I their king. if you want to touch them, don't think about returning to your home today."

Hearing kyoshi's declaration the uzu shinobi felt warmth well up in their chest. Knowing someone can protect them even at the cost of their life was a very good feeling. But kyoshi wasn't going to risk his life,

'Well not like they can threaten my life anyway.' kyoshi thought.

The murmurs quietened for few scant seconds until the three kage started to laugh loudly followed by their subordinates. They all laughed at the stupidity of the stranger.

"Ha Ha Ha Ha ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ha!!!! Ahh that was funny." the raikage stifled his laugh and with a look of condescension calls out to his newfound obstacle." You trash! get out of our way if you want to live. do you really think you are enough to even touch us? Uzukage! seems your village got scammed by this clown, or do you really think this kid can protect you?"

The Uzukage kept his mouth shut but rising to the taunt. The allied shinobi forces kept laughing and mocking kyoshi and uzushio for their supposed stupidity.

"Ha Ha! what a joke! this guy is so funny!"

"A trash blocked our way."

"well what can you expect from this weak village."

Kyoshi ignored the jeering and challenged the shinobi forces.

"Oh then why don't you come here and move me then? I won't even touch you. if you have guts, kill me then!" he sneered at the kages.

The three kage were angered by this. some trash just challenged them in front of their subordinates. They were still cautious though expecting some forms of trap. The uzu shinobi also expected that Shikyo goaded them to put them in trap so they also began to look at the enemies challengingly.

Seeing this the allied forces began seething in anger. To solve this dilemma, a brave (stupid more like) jonin from kumo stepped forward. The kumo jonin addressed his kage bowing his head.

"Raikage Sama! let me take care of this kid. this kid challenged your authority and this is unforgivable. I will bring his head and lay it on your feet right now. just give me the order."

'Well the kumo shinobi were too headstrong as always.' was the thought of other villages.

Raikage nodded approvingly at the jonin.

"Go then 'C'. go and remove this little obstacle from our path. I order you to." He said.

The jonin got up and walked toward kyoshi. he sneered at kyoshi and shouted from a distance.

"Oi kid! make peace with your life. cause you are not going to live to see the senset today. curse your stupid head which decided your demise."

Kyoshi kept silent just staring at the jonin. C the kumo jonin slowly got closer and closer. With each step the fear in heart of uzu shinobi began to increase more and more."Any second now. that guy is going to fall in shikyo's trap'

Step, step.

The jonin got even closer. 'Any second now' desperation in their heart increased even more.

Step, step, step and stop. the kumo jonin finally reached Infront of kyoshi. He looked down on kyoshi sadistically while removing his tanto from his back. The allied forces mirrored the smile when C swung his tanto downward when suddenly it stopped at a inch above kyoshi's neck.

Everyone looking at this scene were silent not knowing what happened. The raikage called out to his subordinate.

"Hey C! What happened? don't tell me you feel pity for his stupidity and don't want to kill him." receiving no answer he asked more urgently,"hey answer me C. What are you doing? kill him right now. this is an order."

The jonin named C lowered his tanto and turned around toward the shinobi forces with his bangs covering his eyes.

Step, step as C returned toward his kage. While everyone looked at him quietly.

Step.

step.

Step.

he finally reached in front of raikage who warily looked at him. getting no answer, the raikage cautiously took his stance as to defend himself, when suddenly C raised his head, eyes filled with terror he begged raikage,"Save me! raikage Sama"

AND

"STAB"

As C stabbed his own heart. The raikage feeling his intention tried to stop him but wasn't fast enough. The soulless eyes stared at him as he saw them beg to be saved. all the while mouthing 'Save me' with choked voice, but not receiving any help the light slowly faded in C's eyes.

Everyone who saw those eyes were haunted by them. The terror filled eyes as if he had suffered untold torture and to escape chose death but still wanted to live, to be saved all the same. But all of this happened in only a few seconds. nobody saw anything being done on him, even if they suspected the target was in genjutsu, it was too much a stretch to expect the victim to be affected to such extent.

No they didnot believe that genjutsu could do such damage on someone jonin on top of that.

The nidaime raikage stood on the puddle of blood of his friend with stretched hand as if frozen in time. He slowly curled the stretched hand into a fist and glared at kyoshi.

"YOU! what did you do? what did you do to him just now? ANSWER ME."

raikage screamed out his kage level chakra flaring up affecting all the shinobi surrounding him. killing intent focused on kyoshi who ignored it like it was of no consequence.

"Oh what did I do? didn't you say I was just a trash? what can a trash like me even do to a elite jonin of yours? Maybe he was tired of living and decided to end his life? who knows right?" kyoshi smirked behind the mask.

"YOU! YOU! I know you did something to him, he was a friend of mine and I know him extensively. He still had a lot of dreams, on way he committed suicide." the raikage said through his gritted teeth.

Kyoshi wasn't going to make it easy for raikage as well. His eyes twinkled in mirth," And what proof do you have that I did something, Maybe someone powerful just happened to Crossby right now and did something to your friend.Maybe he saw a jonin sadistically looking at so called trash and decided to torture him for few hundred years and making him witness the death of his friends and family over and over again."His eyes twinkled.

"WHO KNOWS, RIGHT?"

AN:: so first section of the uzu war has started. tomorrow I will give a continued chapter. this war will probably drag on for few chapters so bear with me.

and as for not updating for two days(I think) is because I needed to research some fight scenes. I checked some novels, watched some YouTube videos etc so I now have some idea about where to take this fight.

Writing a fight scene is quite hard moreso than writing normal chapter. in normal chapter, I have to find different words for expressions when simply characters are having a conversation. but with a fight scene, man being non native English speaker sucks ass. on top of that I never been in a fight so I don't have much clue how somebody moves somehow in a fight. ugh! I will just wing it I guess.

Anyway tell me what do you think about this opening scene. quite easy writing this was.cant say if it turned out great or not.....so tell me okay.

Well bye for now then you pieces of ass ....

lovers...😋😋😋😋😋😋
