K.O

Rayzen was getting infuriated by the second due to the shamelessness of the Uchiha Chunin. His hands were shaking due to him slowly losing his control to emotions.

He took a deep breath and relaxed again. The shaking stopped and he prepared to kite these mobs.

Seeing Rayzen's hand shaking and him taking a deep breath, the Chunin and the Genin thought that he was afraid. They took the opportunity to attack just as Rayzen released his breath. But to their surprise, they only managed to stab and slash the air with their kunai.

The Genin managed to vaguely see Rayzen manifesting behind him due to his Sharingan and turned back to see a volley of shuriken aimed at him and the Chunin.

Meanwhile, the Chunin due to his battle instincts had turned back just in time to block the shuriken coming at him using the kunai in his hands.

Both the Genin with the Sharingan and the Chunin managed to block almost all the shuriken, but a few had cut them. The ones that cut the Genin were not surface wounds. While the ones that cut the Chunin were surface wounds, which plainly indicated the difference in their battle instincts.

Previously Rayzen had teleported behind them just as they attacked by circling around them using ' Body Flicker Jutsu'. He then had thrown a volley of shuriken at them just after.

The Genin kept the kunai back in his pocket and instantly made hand-signs for Fireball jutsu. He spewed the fireball at Rayzen. But Rayzen vanished before the fireball could reach him.

The Chunin had realised that only timely use of ninjutsu could hit Rayzen. So he unsheathed his tantō and body flickered near the position where Rayzen appeared next. The Genin too followed the Chunin and took out his tantō to attack Rayzen.

Rayzen easily vanished again. Forced by his inability to keep up with Rayzen's Body Flicker Jutsu, the Chunin activated his blood-orange two tomoe Sharingan. He shouted like a madmen: " Now, let's see how you will run again! "

Rayzen didn't care to give a reply and easily vanished and appeared behind the Genin who even though followed Rayzen's trajectory using his Sharingan, was unable to follow up. This was so since his body couldn't keep up with his eyes.

Rayzen chopped his side of the neck and knocked him out, leaving only the Chunin to take care of.

Meanwhile the Chunin had thrown a volley of shuriken at him and Rayzen responded in kind. The one he threw didn't just block and fall down, but went on to strike the Chunin further. Some even curved and circled around him before striking at him

The Chunin felt something weird as his Sharingan detected something attached to all the shuriken thrown at him. Just as he focused on one of the shuriken, he saw a thin string attached to it. Even though he realised what it was for, he was too late to prepare a counter. Because the shurikens stopped coming at him, when he focused on the last one. And Rayzen came running straight at him with a kunai in hand following that.

The Chunin was forced to retaliate. He used his tantō to land an accurate strike at Rayzen by predicting his movements using his Sharingan.

But the strike missed as he vanished at the exact moment the Chunin launched his strike. Nonetheless, the Chunin had predicted this too, as he vaguely saw the chakra in Rayzen's body being gathered and moving under a pattern he saw before, indicating that he was about to perform a jutsu, particularly the Body Flicker Jutsu.

Hence at the last moment, he managed to swerve the tantō to the side to attack Rayzen who was using Body Flicker Jutsu. But he underestimated Rayzen's speed, as he suddenly sped up in the midst of moving under the jutsu.

' So he was holding back all this time. B*stard! Does he think that I am weak?! ' The Chunin thought angrily.

Even though he was really angry, he was still invested in the battle. His rank and experience as a Chunin was not just for show.

But he was confused by Rayzen's actions as while he moved instantaneously under Body Flicker Jutsu he had bent down and picked something of the ground in a single movement. Just as he realised, it was the strings attached to those Sharingan, Rayzen had ran past him and the strings started to constrict him, like a snake that constricts its prey before swallowing it.

Feeling that he was losing control over his hands due to being constricted, he barely managed to slash some of the strings before being entangled.

Rayzen had ran past him and arrived instantly before a tree using Body Flicker Jutsu and started climbing the tree without even pausing for a second. He jumped across one of the branches as he pulled the strings that was now a bundle in his hands down with a bit of his strength in addition to the momentum of his fall.

The Chunin was pulled up on the tree, while Rayzen tied the strings around the tree and secured the Chunin in his hanging position.

He climbed the tree again and went by the Chunin's side, by standing upside down on the branch that he was hanged upon. He spoke to him just so that only the Chunin could hear:

" If and when I decide that you should be killed, I will not send you off that easily. Remember the worse your actions, the harder you will beg me for your death, when I decide that you should be eliminated. "

Rayzen prepared to chop him to side of the neck like he did with the others. But this time, he fell for a trap!

The Chunin clasped Rayzen's knife-hand between his shoulder and jaw. He then spewed a fireball at Rayzen's face. Even though Rayzen detected the movement of chakra in the Chunin using his Sharingan, it only gave him a few seconds to react. Besides, his freedom of movement was being restricted by the Chunin's hold on his hand.

The only way he found to instantly neutralize the situation was to use Micro-Burst jutsu through his immobilized hand, but that has a high probability of killing him. Left with no other way, he instantly used Fireball jutsu without hand-seals. Since both of them were at close range, both were taking some damage from the intense heat. Nonetheless, the two didn't relent. Since Rayzen was a step behind in using the jutsu, he was facing most of the damage and had to infuse more chakra to defend.

Since his chakra reserves were much better than the Chunin, he steadily, pushed the centre of attack towards the centre of both of them.

The Chunin didn't hold back and used everything he had.

Rayzen used a minor version of Micro-Burst jutsu, the attack originating from and amplified by the joints of his index finger. The attack was absorbed by the Chunin's jaws. He experienced a sudden painful shock that disrupted both his jutsu and knocked him out at the same time, with a few of his teeth flying out and his mouth bleeding.

Rayzen stopped his Fireball jutsu at the same time as the other guy's was disrupted. He was able to match the timing due to his Sharingan. He didn't stop there as with his hand now freed, he cut the string, letting the Chunin fall down.

He didn't worry about the guy dying. Since the people responsible for all this farce finally decided to come out of the shadows!
