Pleading Eyes

A Dose Of KI And The Return Of Three Unhelpful Winged Bats

Rai threw his fist towards the snake guy's pale face, yellow eyes narrowing as the other man dodged quickly, turning his body to the side as he ducked and punched the green clad man right in the stomach.

Only for Rai to look down and smile, that punch was nothing compared to what he had trained his body to withstand.

The snake guy flinched as he withdrew his fist and stared at his bleeding knuckles, the hell?!

"Haha! I see the power of youth still glows brightly in me! The Green Beast of Youth shall not fall to a mere fist! Come on! Summon your YOUTH!!"

The snake guy narrowed his eyes in annoyance as he looked back towards the man protected by three little brats.

He wanted that man and he would get him.

Even if it meant he would have to kill this...this green beast!

The creepy snake swiftly dodged a kick from Rai as he flipped backwards, watching as debris flew up in chunks as Rai's foot made contact with the rock floor.

This time the narrow-eyed man attacked first as he used the advantage of Rai being momentarily distracted by the debris he had thrown up in the haste of his attack, the pale snake forming quick hand signs as he blew fire at the still man. Rai's bushy brows raising up in surprise as he attempted too late to dodge the fiery attack.

"Argh!"

Rai yelped in pain as he felt his skin heating rapidly under his burning green sleeve, large hand slapping out the flames as he narrowed his own dark eyes at the smiling snake.

But before the fight could escalate further, both men were stopped from advancing as they felt an overwhelming amount of killing intent directed at them.

Both men had immediately paralyzed in fear because despite being ridiculously strong and powerful, they had fears too and the man walking towards them continued to send out more and more killing intent, causing both allies and enemy alike to tremble under the force of its power.

Orochiriko felt his pale hands shaking as he reached for a small dagger hidden at his side, but not to hurt the man coming towards him with a frown on his scarred face as the children he had left behind were on their knees and already looking just inches from unconsciousness, the snake felt the immense urge to slash his own throat and be done with it all.

The tired man he had been watching earlier nothing like the terrifying monster heading towards him now.

Orochiriko was scared and it looked like he wasn't the only one.

His former opponent was twitching as his eyes darted around nervously, his back was turned towards the approaching man, body tensing like a tight coil as the slow footsteps neared them.

Orochiriko didn't know whether to be glad he was facing the man or not, his opponent currently didn't look like he was enjoying being in the dark as to what was happening as he stayed in his frozen position.

The snake felt envious of the kids who had collapsed behind the man, how he wished he could join them, he had thought the young shinobi was easy prey as his appearance was tired and while tense, he had been slow to register the appearance of both the man in green and himself.

Sneaky snake or not, he regretted having forced the man to take action as he had been busy battling the terrified bushy browed man in front of him.

".....who are you?"

Orochiriko felt like worshipping the man in front of him at the sound of his mesmerizing voice, fear momentarily forgotten as the pale man gained a glazed over look in his odd-colored eyes.
