Minato's Legacy

The Kariudo vs Immortal Duo

Raikou was having a decent day. It had been a few days since he had gotten back from the Cloud Village. He of course went straight to training, currently, he is training in wind manipulation with Naruto when an Anbu showed up to tell him that the Hokage needed him.  Having arrived at the tower, he found it pretty odd that they were meeting on the roof of the Hokage Tower but he did not question it. 

Raikou was standing at the gate, waiting on his team, it was him, Asuma, Shikamaru, Izumo, and Kotetsu. Raikou's mind was working a thousand miles a hour.  By the time they got to the fire temple, it was all destroyed.Three of the Leaf Ninja were scoping out the area and damage. While  Asuma and Raikou were taken in the scene slowly. Raikou could not believe the temple had fallen with Chirku was here. The ninja monk basically took Raikou under his wing during Raikou's days as the 12 Ninja Guardians.  Raikou and Asuma left their thoughts when they heard a voice

Shikamaru: His body is not here, why is that?

Asuma: Well Chirku did have a pretty decent bounty on him

Raikou: And they probably want to collect this bounty

Asuma: Thats correct

Raikou: I think we should leave here and check the local bounty stations

Shikamaru: Thats a wise move, I think we should send each team to their closest location

Raikou: I believe that is best

Asuma: I agree, we will give you a minute to let the other teams know then we will leave 

Shikamaru: Asuma Sensei, you do know that Raikou is in charge, right?

Asuma: Oh my bad, force of habit

Raikou: It is fine Asuma Sensei, I miss doing missions with the two of you guys

Before the mission started, Raikou sent a monkey summon with each team for quick communication. He would summon four monkeys, give them a message to relay then they would be resummon with a different monkey. Once that was finished and they figured out which bounty shop was closest to them, they headed out.

It didn't take long for Team Raikou to make it to their bounty shop, the team quickly found different places to hide out. Raikou spoke to the employee who was working and found out no one turned in a bounty. They were now going to play the waiting game. Raikou did not like this game, he trusted his and his team's hiding spots but he had this uneasy feeling about this. He felt like something was going to go wrong, almost like a feeling of dread, like not everyone was going to make it out alive. After about five minutes, one Akatsuki walked out of the building and was sitting on the steps. Raikou sent a signal towards Asuma and the bearded ninja took off

White hair ninja: Took you long enough Kakuzu!

Asuma threw ninja stars at the Akatsuki member but he pulled out his triple blade scythe and blocked all the ninja stars, two almost hitting Asuma. The white hair ninja did not have time to think as Izumo and Kotetsu approach from both his right and left. The rogue ninja was unable to move as Shikamaru was holding him in place with his shadows. The two gate guards were then able to stab the Akatsuki member.

Asuma: Thats one down, now one to go

White hear ninja: That hurts. . .  What's with you jerks?

Izumo: What the heck? We got you in some vital spots!

WH ninja: Don't push it in deeper! That hurts

Kotetsu: Is this guy immortal or something?

WH ninja: Isn't that obvious? Just who are you guys?
