Ryouta Senju- Makings of A Legend

Chapter 8 - Returning Home

The nukenin wrapped a bandage around the wound as he gritted his teeth, his killing intent leaking as he thought about the kids that had recently been the cause of his current problems.

'Killing them. Isn't enough to satiate my hunger! I will rip them to shreds! Then I will sell that pink haired weakling to some other bandits and let them have their way with her.

These kids will pay!' As the man was thinking this, he didn't stop to think abiut the possibility of another person coming to the kid's aide.

Currently, the Jōnin-sensei, Hatake Kakashi was leaping from tree to tree, drawing closer and closer to the battlefield as he approached his team with concern flowing through his mind.

'Whoever these kids are facing...is much stronger than I anticipated. I need to get there, now!' The man thought as the scene switched to Ryouta and his teammates as he faced Joshin.

"Senju...You and your stupid Uchiha friend will both die at my hand!" Joshin exclaimed angrily as he rushed Ryouta, who signalled for Sasuke to begin his jutsu attack.

Meanwhile, Ryouta and Sakura both rushed head in to fight off the man. Joshin was already going in with his thoughts and judgement clouded with anger, it was likely that he would be vulnerable to some attacks with his mind clouded with revenge, and that was exactly what they were exploiting.

Sakura aimed a punch at his face, the man easily dodging with a agile duck under the blow. With a crucial counter attack, he kicked Sakura away, who was unable to react in time to the fast incoming kick and was struck in the midsection, being sent crashing into the trees.

Joshin wasn't given time to recuperate as Ryouta was immediately on him, lashing our with a combined series of punches and kicks, incorporating his chakra in his blows, though it didn't do much against a season shinobi such as Joshin, who utilised his larger stature to dodge and block the blows, being pleasantly surprised at the power behind the blows.

"Katon: Karyū Endan!" Sasuke exclaimed while aiming at his teammate as Ryouta swiftly substituted himself with Joshin, who took the brunt of the dragon flame bullet Sasuke released.

Ryouta immediately went to check on his female teammate while Sasuke didn't stop his onslaught, knowing that the nukenin would've found a way to escape the fire dragon.

True to his suspicion, as the flames receded, Joshin stood there unscathed from the jutsu. "Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Sasuke exclaimed while throwing a single shuriken at Joshin which mutliplied into multiple shuriken all twisting towards Joshin who simply substituted himself with a log, quickly rushing towards Sasuke.

As he was airborne, attempting to end the Uchiha's life right then and there, he felt a strong kick in the abdomen, leading him to be sent tumbling into trees.

Though the onslaught hadn't stopped there.

"Katon: Gōkkakyū no Jutsu!" Sasuke exclaimed releasing a massive fireball in Joshin's direction, who flashed through hand signs while airborne.

"Fūton: Kazekiri no Jutsu!" The man exclaimed as he swung his twin blades towards the fireball, and two smalled, pressurised wind blades were released from it, seemingly cutting straight through the middle of the fireball, instantly dispelling it as everyone looked shocked.

Joshin swiftly landed on his feet gracefully as lightning suddenly enclosed his body, and with this, he rushed towards the genin, his speed increasing tenfold as it seemed.

'Lightning cloak, he sure knows a lot of lightning jutsu.' Ryouta thought offhandedly as he readied himself against the now improved Joshin.

"Sasuke, we need you to be attacking with us ow. Your sharingan allows for a faster reaction time than both me and Sakura, you can see where he's going and respond in tandem with your sharingan.
