Tenten's sister

Chapter 4: A baker?

3rd person

They met at the same tree the next morning and saw Izumo and kotetsu. The pair smiled at the trio and then grinned. Throughout the week, the chunin had put the trio through hell with training and overload of missions. A week past and they met at the same tree again everyday. They went to the hokages office and bowed a little.

"Lord hokage." They said respectfully. He held up his hand to say that it wasn't needed.

"I think you're ready for your first C-rank mission." The hokage smiled. They nodded and the hokage handed kotetsu a scroll.
"You're to escort a man to the hidden mist village. You be defending him from thugs and bandits. Meet him at the gate in and hour." The hokage said. They nodded and went to pack their bags. They met at the gate and began their journey to the hidden mist. The trip would take 3 weeks, if they walked. The mans name was Ryaizan Daizi and, according to him, he worked as a baker in the mist. He had tanned skin and dark brown hair. He had brown eyes to match and wore civilians clothes. His clothes were a simple grey shirt and brown pants. He wore sandals on his feet that were grey to match his shirt. He had traveled to the leaf to visit relatives and had heard that there was some riff-raff, as he put it, on the path home. They walked until it was dark. They had only just gotten to the outside of the land of fires border. They repeated that same pattern for three days. They were walking down a dirt path in the woods. They were a little ways away from the leaf now but still quite far from the mist. Izumo and kotetsu stopped so the other four did as well.

"It seems we have company." Izumo said. They tensed as four figures came from the woods.

'Cloud shinobi?' They thought.

"Give us the man an we'll leave." A chunin said. Kotetsu snorted.

"Not a chance. Protect him at all costs." Izumo said. They nodded and took fighting stances. They ran at each other. A chunin started fighting Izumo and another started fight kotetsu. Another started fighting tatsuya and the jonin started fighting Nagisa and Yuri. It was simple Taijutsu and the pair knew they were already out skilled.

"I'm Nagisa!" He said cheerfully.

"Darui." He said as their kunais clashed. The man pushed the boy away and Yuri came from behind. Their kunais clashed and Yuri smirked a little.

"Yuri, pleasure." She said sarcastically. Darui chuckled a little and pushed her back. Suddenly, she dispersed into lightning that ran up his arm. Pain engulfed him making him shake. His breathing laboured as his vision went blurry. Nagisa took advantage of his distraction and punched him square in the face. He had his knuckle dusters on making Daruis face bleed. He stumbled back only for his legs to give way. Yuri had kicked the back of his knees. Darui regained full consciousness. He shook his head a little and looked at the situation. Nagisa had his fist raised above the mans head, ready to punch, and Yuri was taking out a kunai. Everything moved in slow motion for him. He grabbed nagisa's fist and went to grab yuris wrist. She side stepped and avoided it just in time.

"Black lightning jutsu!" He said. Black lightning crackled down his arms to Nagisa. His other arm was pointed at Yuri. She dodged the attack by a centimetre and breathed out in relief. She stared in horror as Nagisa screamed bloody murder. The scream could make anyone's blood curl. It left a sickening feeling in yuris stomach and her anger started to slowly boil. Nagisa fell to the ground unconscious but shaking from shock. Yuri made handsigns and backhand sprinted away from darui.

"Lightning line." She whispered. Lightning went through the wire by her feet. She smirked slightly and threw a kunai at darui. He dodged and she smirked again. She pulled it back with a wire making it touch the man. It was only the end of the kunai that that touches him but that was enough.
"Lightning connect." She whispered. The lightning in the wire went to the kunai and electrocuted darui again. He was less affected this time and sent lightning back at her. She watched move it in slow motion and saw its beauty. It was pitch black but the way it moved was unlike anything else she had ever seen. It warped and churned around itself as it moved. Occasional dark purple and blue sparks would come off of it. She realised that it was manifesting into something.
