Zero Shinobies ( Shinobi Hunter Naruto)

ch 14

(A few minutes later)

Further inside the Uchiha's security headquarters, past the front desk and the waiting rooms of the ground floor, carnage had been brought about to the once calm and quiet property.

The evening and night had been going so well for the men and women on duty at the station. With all their cells virtually empty and with no perps to round up or process, most of the officers that were on standby for the graveyard shift had all but resigned themselves to a full twelve hours of doing absolutely nothing. Prior to the sudden scourge that'd suddenly been brought down upon their place of work, most of the shinobi and kunoichi present had been hanging around the wreck room- eating late dinners and catching up on current events. The atmosphere had been so quiet and relaxing that some of them had even decided to take a well-deserved nap.

The only people who were up and about were those with paperwork that still needed to be completed, mainly the Chunin left over from the day shift and Takeshi, who'd been stuck at his desk for the better part of the afternoon.

Unfortunately for everyone there, the long night had taken an unexpected and bloody turn for the worst.

The officer at the front desk was the first to go. When he heard the door fly open and looked up from his game of crosswords in the newspaper, the Chunin was suddenly set upon by a shadowy individual in an orange mask with a black flame pattern. The long-haired spectre of a man cut him down with barely any effort, painting the wall red with blood before starting to massacre every single person in that building.

Room by room and floor by floor the phantom ventured, cutting down everything and everyone standing in his way. The Uchiha poised in the facility were quick to respond, mustering up their weapons and their forces in an effort to stop the man that'd entered their midst. A large group of them rallied in the main offices on the ground floor, armed and ready to stop the intruder with the full force of their reserves.

But as the shinobi and kunoichi quickly discovered, killing their invader was going to be a near impossible task. The second the first kunai and shuriken were sent flying, the officers were stunned into silence when they saw all of their weapons pass through the man's body as if he were nothing but air. When their projectiles embedded the walls and floor behind him, the assassin then set upon his attackers with a ruthless ferocity only ever witnessed in the most frightening of horror stories.

The man was like a monster from a nightmare- armed with nothing but a sword and chain that he used to cut through his targets like a veritable gory whirlwind of death. The shinobi and kunoichi scattered around the facility did their best to try and shut down his movements, engaging him in close quarters to see if they could break the impossible illusion of invulnerability he was casting over them. But no matter what they did or tried- swords, ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, explosives- everything either passed through the man or was effectively deflected without any effort at all.

What's more, in return for their efforts, the intruder dealt with the building's defenders in the most brutal ways imaginable. He sliced, cut, struck, impaled, and broke every single person he engaged, ending their lives in a shower of blood. Instilling them with a sense of fear before their passing was also something the intruder seemed to take great pleasure in doing, making all those who crossed his path experience the truest of terrors before everything went black.

By the time he reached the second floor, the man had pretty much cleaned house of all the police officers that'd been stationed on duty. He also made sure to cut out the power in the storage area by the entrance so that he could move about through the dark and the Uchiha on station couldn't see his face.

Not that they could with that one-eyed war mask he had covering his face.

Eventually after dealing with a very stubborn Takeshi and the two other Uchiha that were with him, the masked assailant then did a headcount of those he had slain. Remembering exactly how many people would be on duty from the information he received from his source within the compound, the man was certain he'd gotten everyone. But as extra precaution he performed a thorough search of the facility with his gaze and his senses to make sure he got everyone.
