the infiltration

In a room with limited lights and a closed window were the five pirates that ran into code 4, they were kneeling before a man sitting on a armchair, he was wearing a black jacket and a hat, a guy around his mind twenties with blue hair stood on his right, the room was filled with the crew.

"So, you guys got smashed by kids", he asked the five kneeling before him.

"Captain, they were ninja", the skinny pirate stuttered.

"Kid ninja", he correct him, "your first mission joining my crew was... How should I even put it?", he placed his hand on his chin, "i can't even find the rightful word, you five are a disgrace", he said without showing any anger.

"All you were asked to do was search the forest and town for anything that would jeopardize our mission, and this is how you return, like a puppy with it tail between it's legs, and what happened to him? He was the one blabbing the most before you left", the blue haired pirate on the right side of the captain ask, the bald guy from earlier was drooling uncontrollably and he doesn't seems like a person with brain anymore.

"Well, we *um* we... We *umm*", the blond one was finding it difficult to speak.

"You *um* what?", the guy ask with his hand resting on the handle of his sword and his eyes darken.

"It was the ninja, I mean their master, he was there, he did this thing with his eyes on Chō, and he knew you were in this town by the time he was done staring at Chō", the skinny one rushed out.

*Ugh* everyone gasp in recognition of who they were talking about.

" His eyes? ", the blue haired guy ask.

" Yes, it was as if all the stars in the sky appeared in his eyes, after that Chō has been like this ", the blond said.

*Hmm* " so the cosmic eyes is in town? ", the pirate ask," that kid ", *hehehe*

"That's not all, he also told the coast guard about us", the skinny one said.

*Ah* "great, now that the coast guard knows we are here, they will be on our tail", a dark skin guy with a bandana grumbled, he was drinking beer.

"That won't be a problem", the pirate raised his head and he was around his early or late sixties with grey haired and beard, he was having a wide grin.

Hayate was on the cabin top of the boat when Shinra went to him, "what are you doing here Shinra, are you guys not on watch duty?".

"Don't worry about that, before anything hideous happens my ears and nose will notify me", Shinra smile, he then sat beside the kōjin.

*Um* Hayate look at him, this made Shinra to grin, "now what do you want? I know you didn't just come here to sit down", Hayate look down at him.

*Hmm* "you are right", Shinra's expression became serious, "I can't use my other reiketsu".

"What do you mean?".

"I'm only able to use one, I've tried to use the other one but it didn't work out".

"And how do you know you are using just one?", Hayate ask.

"Well, one of them feels gentle and welcoming, while the other one feels hot and rash, I'm only able to use the gentle one", Shinra explain.

"Then in that case, focus all your time and effort on the one you can use for now, we will work on the other one some other time ".

" That would be great sensei ", Shinra smile.

" (It doesn't take him time to brighten himself up)", Hayate was staring at him," so? ", Hayate look forward," you will be able to detect incoming enemies right? ".

" Yes sensei ".

" What if they approach from underneath us, does your senses go into water? ".

" Not really ", Shinra scratch his head and grin.

" I think you should head back, they are already here ".

" Wha!!!!? Tell me you're kidding", Shinra could not believe his ear.

" I just want to inform you that some zenith level demon are below our boat", Hayate placed his finger on the device in his ear informing Shinokaze, Sora and Kaguya.

Some creatures were swimming in the water below the boat and they were moving pretty fast.

***

*Huh* " underneath our boat? ", Kaguya was at the second floor of the boat.

***

"Shinra, secure position, and contact me if you see anyone of them", Sora was in a hallway.

***

*Ummm* " yeah sure ", Shinra chuckles nervously.

" Are you really in your position?", Hayate glanced at him.

*Hehe* " not really ", Shinra rush off," (if they're going to enter the boat, then I believe they will come through the rear, I need to get there on time)", Shinra dash through a hallway almost running people over," sorry ma'am, sorry old man, I'm really sorry!", he apologized as he continue running at top speed.

***

"(So they really showed up, impressive, I guess I should go welcome them)", Shinokaze walk out of the kitchen.

***

Something came out of the water and held the boat, it was revealed to be a human hand but a bit distinct in feature, it was greyish in color with dark razor set of claws.

Dark figures leaped on the boat and left the floor wet, all three of them were revealed as humans with pale skin.

*Hahaha* "I can perceive the delightful scent of blood flowing through every human here tonight ", one of them said with a satisfying smile.

" Junichiro, Chiko, let get a hold of these blood banks and head back, there's no time to waste ", another one said, he seems to be in hast.

*Huh* "something is coming, and it's coming really fast", the third one who happened to be Chiko informed his colleagues.

***

*Tch* "(I can smell them, they are nearby)", Shinra round a corner and continue running, he reached a door and stop *Huff Huff Huff* he was breathing heavily, "(there are three of them... And)", *tch* Shinra placed his hand on his nose and frown, "(my body, it's trembling again, goddamn)", he slowly reaches out for the door knob and gently opens the door.

*Umm* Junichiro furrowed his eyes as Shinra step in, "(a child?)".

Shinra swallow on his spit as he tried to stay cool in front of the demons, "(it's no use, my body is starting to get numb, stay calm, stay calm, please stay calm)", *tch* Shinra grit his teeth.

"What are you doing here?", Benjiro ask, his voice remain low but Shinra could sense his taste for blood.

"I smell yamiryoku in him, do you think he's a demon?", Chiko ask the others quietly.

*Ugh* Shinra gasp at that signaling that he heard them.

"His sense of hearing is sharp, and his yamiryoku is faint, not even a newly turned demon's yamiryoku is as faint as his", Junichiro said.

" (What are they talking about, I don't get it, yamiryoku? This gus must be insane)", Shinra was confused.

" Yamiryoku is not the only one he has, he also has reiketsu, and it's different from every reiketsu I have sense for the past sixty years ", Benjiro point at Shinra.

" I don't have yamiryoku ok, I'm a ninja and not a demon ", Shinra correct then.

" We knew you were a ninja judging by your outfits, but if you are not a demon then how did you have yamiryoku? ", Benjiro ask.

" (This guys are trying to trick me, I won't fall for it... Come on, pull out your swords)", *Huff* Shinra tried to stay focused.

" Step aside kid, we are here to take this people, and you are not going to interfere, got it? ", Junichiro ask with a sly smile.

" You must be out of your mind thinking I'll let you hurt anyone in this boat", Shinra pulled out his swords," (this guys are really scary, but not as scary as Hayate sensei, I won't let their intense rotten smell of yamiryoku get over me)".

(Flashback)

Code 4 were in the Sennin's office with lord Sennin and Yuuto his right hand man.

" We received a message from the governor of Yume City that boats traveling to and from Kōshō town has been disappearing before getting to their destination and non of the passengers were found, three days ago they placed a group of coast guard on a boat travelling from Kōshō town to Yume City and the boat also disappeared including the passengers and the coast guards", lord Shinji inform.

" And you suspect it was done by demons? What if this is the acts of pirates? ", Hayate ask," you know how they are ".

" This is the third boat missing, pirates won't capture a boat and not demand money for their release", Yuuto said," demons are very cunning creature found of doing anything when it comes to getting blood ".

" So our mission is to head to Kōshō town and find out what has been happening to all the missing boats? ", Hayate ask.

" Yes, you are leaving at dawn tomorrow, after that I want you to head to Komei village where you will receive your next mission, understood? ", lord Shinji ask.

" Yes sir".

(Flashback fadeout)

"(Google eyes was right, this demons are the ones making all these boats and hundreds of people to disappear, bastards)", Shinra took a fighting stance.

" I can detect the presence of three other reiketsu, which means the brat is not alone ", Chiko informed the others," I'm not failing my mission, never".

" Step out of the way brat! ", Junichiro raised his hand at Shinra.

*Ah!* Shinra was thrown into the door behind him, "(damn, what was that?)".

"You wear the headband of a jōnin yet you are as weak as a low life rat", *hahaha* Junichiro chuckles evilly.

"Junichiro, kill the brat already, we should head back with the blood banks or else Ken will be pissed", Benjiro said.

*Huh* "(they are not alone? Geez, I need to inform the others that I found them)", Shinra raised his hand to touch the device on his ear but stop halfway, "(do I really need to depend on others, do I really have to draw them into trouble because of me?)", Shinra picked his swords and stood up.

"This brat is a wimp", Junichiro smirk," demon arts: invisible arm", he lift his hand.

*Ah!!* Shinra was knocked into the ceiling of the boat *tat* he hit the floor, "(what kind of ability is this, it's like I'm being hit with a large arm that I can't see or hear coming)", *tch* Shinra pushed himself off the floor.

*Hahaha* "I see you can still move", Junichiro smile.

"Finish him will you?", Chiko ask.

"Relax man, let me take this nice and easy", Junichiro said sarcastically.

"Since you refuse to kill him then I will turn him into nothing myself", Benjiro said calmly, he took in a long deep breath and his chest expanded.

*Huh* "what are you doing?", Shinra cock his head to the side.

"(Demon arts: burning ink)", Benjiro poured out a large amount of ink from his mouth.

Shinra roll out of the way and the ink land on the door and some other part *um* Shinra look at the place and it started melting *ah!!!* "It's melting", Shinra freaked out.

"Just as you are about to melt as well, demon arts: invisible arm", Junichiro raised his hand at Shinra and ball his fist.

*Huh tch* Shinra could not move a muscle, he was held by Junichiro's telekinesis ability.

"Now die, demon arts: burning ink", Benjiro shoot quite an amount of ink at Shinra.

"(Is this the end? Am I really going to get toast by this guys? Is this how I'm going to die?)", Shinra's face was wrapped in fear as he watch the approaching ink.

"Ninja arts: wind barrier", a gust of wind appears before Shinra and stopped the incoming ink, Shinra was released from the invisible grip and fell on the floor.

***

"Hayate sensei, we still can't detect the demons", Kaguya said with her hand on the device she wore in her ear.

"Shinra caught up with them some minutes ago", Hayate's voice emits from the device.

***

"Shinra what!?", Sora scream and the people on the hallway turn to face him, "and he didn't inform us? And how did you even know?".

"I can see everything in the boat remember?".

"And you could not say anything about it!?", Sora was annoyed.

"Stop worrying yourself, someone else made it to the rear side of the boat and saved his ass in time ".

*Ah!* " You are something else sensei ", Sora took off.

***

*Mmm* Shinra shook his head to get rid of the numbness he was feeling,"(geez my head is spinning)".

" I knew you were always this weak, Akatsuki".

*Ugh* Shinra look up and saw Shinokaze standing in front of him.

" Great, another rat has come to die", Junichiro cracked his knuckles," who are you? ".

"(This one has a strong reiketsu, it's all around him)", Chiko said to himself.

" I am lord Shinokaze Hoshino, next in line as Sennin of Gekkei village", Shinokaze open his fan and took a fighting stance, "and you three had run out of luck".
