.
It was the morning of a new day, the cloud-covered sky blocked the last bit of sunlight, the world was coated by the elegance of dusk.
The gloomy air told a tale of silence.
As if practiced, the opposing areas were filled with Ninjas of Iwa and Kumo.
Despite that.
No one moved.
No one even produced a noise, it was deathly still as if…
As if they were all waiting for something. The act too practiced to be natural.
After all, this was war…
…
On the side of Kumo, their commander Darui, stood proud with his arms crossed in front of him. But even to the untrained eyes, his nervousness was visible.
He stood in front of the coalition of Ninjas, a bit away from them as if trying to distance himself, to let the world know. That he, Darui, was here. Let the world know that he was ready for it.
…
On the Iwa side, the commander of Iwa forces was also standing a bit further from his forces, beside him stood a stoic-looking Han, the Jinchuriki of the Gobi, more commonly known as the Five-Tails.
An air of apprehension was about them. Because they knew, if they lost today, they will lose their lives...
…
At the same time, on a mountain not too far away stood 5 people.
3 of them wore the infamous Nightingale Armor and one of them wore pitch-black robes with human fecal designs on them. It also hid its face behind a yellow mask that looked similar to a smiley face.
No matter how eccentric and goofy it looked it gave off an air of power, as he stood straight like a sword.
And in front of them, lazily sat the star of today's events.
Wearing white Seusenhofer Armor with a red Hannya Mask, sat their leader as he looked over the battlefield, his posture relaxed as it could be seen from his petrifying humming.
The atmosphere around them was relaxing, even though the four behind were looking a bit serious.
Stopping his humming the leader spoke,
"They are going to give it their all today, aren't they?" Mitsu asked nonchalantly.
"That they will, Mitsu-sama, they have their sealing squad ready and Tobi has confirmed that Iwa deployed, both their Explosion Corps and Excavation squad." Fuse answered as he kept looking at the battlefield.
"Umm~ master, are you sure you want to fight this alone? And that too without using your Ninjutsu?" Haku asked worriedly, she has seen her master fight with only Taijutsu and Kenjutsu the last year as he honed his skill and gained experience.
He was always the strongest in this little group but now he was a different sort of monster and yet, she felt worried about her master.
"Don't worry Haku-chan, if they prove too much for me, then I will unseal my restraints, I mean I have already finished my training, I don't need to use them anymore.
[E/N: the chakra seals, it was shown in the Sasuke vs Deidara fight that chakra amount amps or lowers your speed an ap so him being weaker cus of the seal, he made from the inspiration of the original ( Chakra-Suppressing Seal) is consistent with the original manga]
But at the end of the day, it still feels fun to fight you know, and, after all, today the war will end." Mitsu answered with a smile.
"Micchan, don't underestimate them," Tobi said in seriousness which surprised everyone present.
Mitsu didn't appear surprised much as he asked without turning back, "Is he watching?"
"Yes, the dark one is watching…" Tobi answered with a growl.
"Dark one?" Haku asked with confusion clear in her eyes.
"Mitsu-sama, calls him blackie, he is a similar being like Tobi," Itachi answered this far only to receive a growl from Tobi
But he continued, "he is under an organization called Akatsuki, they are criminals that tried to attack Mitsu-sama a few times. Do you remember that guy that tried to recruit us?" Itachi asked Haku.
"The one with a mask and wearing black robes with red clouds? They attacked master?" Haku asked back with a frown, her voice becoming chillier than a winter night.
Itachi nodded and continued, "Yes, they once tried to kidnap Mitsu-sama, and they attacked us together with Yagura back in Kiri however we eliminated most of them.
But be careful… That masked guy is dangerous." Itachi frowned,
"He calls himself Uchiha Madara and somehow has Wood Release like Mitsu-sama and Tobi, Tobi said it was artificially put on him, using his cells, Mitsu-sama seemingly knows his real identity but doesn't want to tell us yet."
Haku looked surprised.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you Ichi, it's just, there is no point in telling you right now, but once I feel that the time is right, I will let you know," Mitsu replied.
"Will they try to recruit us again?" Asked Fuse.
"They will either try to recruit us or try to kill us, Fuzzy-senpai," Itachi answered with a chuckle.
Growling lowly Fuse answered, "If they try to harm Mitsu-sama again, I will bury them."
"That we will, my dear Fuzzy! That we will." Mitsu answered while laughing as he stood up slowly.
"Master… Is it time?" Haku asked anxiously.
Mitsu tilted his head a bit to look at the covered sky, everyone followed suit to watch in wonder as a scar of bright light cut through the bat-black sky.
*Swoosh*
…
The whole world stood still, as the small amount of light poured through the blockage of clouds, the moment the light hit the ground,
Darui, on Kumo's side, felt the greatest sense of danger but before he could react his world turned black, the only thing he heard before the emptiness took him was,
"DARUIIIIIIII!" It was a shout from his Kage, A.
…
Everyone watched in horror with their breaths hitched, because the moment the ray of light hit the ground their beloved and strong commander fell to the ground.
Beside his still body stood the dreaded Phantom Blade, like always he appeared out of nowhere.
The only thing that brought them back to reality was the heart ranching scream from their Kage as he shouted the name of their commander, lightning seemed to dance across his body.
Shrouded by it at an awe-inspiring speed, A, the Raikage appeared beside the Demon and tried to punch him, only to hit empty air.
Growling in anger he tried to look for the hated figure only to hear the shout of another Kumo Jonin.
"Raikage-sama, The Phantom is over there!" Pointing at a raised mound, where the shrouded figure stood as if he was in a park.
"YOU BITCH! TODAY WILL MARK YOUR DEATH!" A shouted and as if on cue, a few people appeared and surrounded the Phantom.
The Phantom looked around and took in the figures.
There was Raikage A, beside him stood his brother Killer B, And beside them stood the beautiful Samui.
With them stood a group of Ninjas who seemed to specialize in sealing and genjutsu.
On the other side stood the commander of Iwa, Han the Jinchuriki, the explosion corps, and a member of the Kamizuru Clan with their Bees.
An impressive lineup to say the least. If anyone saw this group, they would be more than sure to take down the strongest of S rank Ninjas.
Anyone on the receiving end should have started shivering in fear.
But the demon wearing the white armor… Simply stood still with their Sword Drawn.
The world turned silent once again.
Everyone was holding their breaths. this might turn into the last battle of this war.
Because, all those who fought in this war, knew of the strength and danger of this being standing in front of them. And they knew… They couldn't make a mistake.
The suffocating atmosphere prevailed, no one made the first move. Everyone was glaring at the Phantom Blade.
Sweat started forming on their backs and foreheads.
And right on that agonizing moment.
*FAAAAAAART*
…
…
…
Everyone turned to the Kumo Ninja that farted, Looking at him incredulously at a time like this…
While the offender looked horrified at his actions. He didn't do it on purpose, because Mitsu took the inactive moment to paste
As the loud noise sounded out, Mitsu took this chance. He quickly used his body flicker, the sound of the wind whistled, however his opponents were too distracted to take notice.
"FOOLS! DON'T TURN YOUR SIGHT FROM Y-" A shouted in warning but it was too late.
As the Phantom struck, and he struck hard, in the short moment everyone was distracted by his imbecilic Ninja.
The Phantom has decapitated 7 of 10 Explosion squad members.
Blood splattered out as it covered the phantom blade seeming to turn it into a demon.
When his blade was about to hit the 8th, a boiling liquid like red chakra formed in between the assailant and victim, as the Phantom blade chose to flicker out of the way only to meet a punch from the Raikage with its Sword.
"YOU WILL DIE!" A Shouted and prepared a kick, only to be judo thrown at the incoming Han.
"Yo, Bakayaro, that wasn't cool, mamasaro, if you fight me, you a fool because I am me, the awesome killer B. He He!" Rapping like a lunatic, the Jinchuriki of the 8 tails started slashing at the Phantom with his swords. However, the Phantom blade truly lived up to its reputation as it dodged or parried each slash.
B, tried to surprise him with
The moment he threw his swords and tried to use his Jutsu, he felt the greatest pain of his life…
The phantom…
Kicked him in the… Nuts.
Groaning in Pain B had to stop the Jutsu for a second, only to be punched in the chin as he flew towards the coalition of Kumo Ninjas.
The Phantom didn't stop though, as he felt someone coming close to him, so he spun in his punching motion grabbing one of the previously thrown swords and blocking in incoming
And a battle of Taijutsu started between A and the Phantom, while the previously Stunned Sealing Squad started casting a Sealed binding formation.
A noticed that their Casting was almost complete, so he created an opening for the Phantom to strike him where he could kick the bitch towards the allocated location for the seal to work.
Only…
When he tried to fool the Phantom, instead of Attacking him with the sword, the Phantom tried to kick him in the crotch, but A was prepared and shifted his leg a bit.
But that was the wrong move.
Because of that slight shift of his body position, the Phantom shifted their weight while grabbing on the Raikage's sleeve and
'Dammit' was all the Raikage could scream inside his head. But thankfully for him, the sealing squad noticed the change in time and forcefully stopped the seal, but that was their undoing…
The moment they stopped their casting they saw that the others in the field were looking behind them in horror.
Filled with dread they tried to turn only to see a flash of pink and a soft shout of,
"
Their world turned silent for a second.
A bright flash seemed to envelop the battlefield followed by the sound of screaming as it seemed to die out, the light subsided.
And then the silent world turned into the world of eternal darkness.
The Sealing Squad fell, just like that, cut to bits by thousands of dancing petals while the Phantom stood with its sword drawn looking apathetically through that damned mask.
