Third Person's P.O.V

Team once again were traveling trough the forest, Yasu and Aya lingering behind a little bit

“You know that he is here, don't you?” Aya asked smirking mysteriously at Yasu and this time he didn't look cute at all.

“I-I know”Yasu stuttered looking at the ground with pained expression” B-but I had hopped to never encounter h-him again” a sadistic smile appeared on Aya's face, but he didn't comment.”I-I always l-loved him, b-but he had hurt me and it's hart t-to forgive”

“Guess, now you will have to make choice” Aya's smirk widened as mist thick mist started surrounding the team.

Yasu's eyes suddenly widened alarmed.

“EVERYONE, DUCK!!!”Yasu shouted and everyone just managed to fell to the ground when countless explosions went above their heads.

“Impressive, you noticed my explosions”A deep voice, which sounded like coming from everywhere, was heard. At the sound of it Yasu started shivering uncontrollably, while Nana got an irk-mark on her forehead.

“How dare you sneak-attack us like that, show your face”she commanded. The person only chuckled. Soon the smoke started to clear and the team could make out a figure of a man. Hehad long, brown hair, a long beard which he wore in strands adorned with beads and his lips were also noticeably dark in color. The top of his head was wrapped in bandages, and he had an eye-patch covering his left eye, sprouting from under his Kirigakure forehead protector. His right eye was violet and he wore an extremely loose, long-sleeved pin-striped shirt and black pants, accentuated by the presence of striped leg-warmers matching his shirt. He had a big sword strapped on his back, which looked a little bit like a half-unrolled scroll.

“Who are you!?”Nana demanded the answer.

“You have one big mouth here, little brat. One time it will get you killed. And that time is... NOW” The man lunged at her with his sword grinning maniacally. It happened so fast that Nana didn't manage to react. Fortunately, Katsu did and he caught the man in his genjutsu. But Yasu knew that it wouldn't last long. She remembered that the person in front of them was always good at escaping genjutsu no matter how skillful and strong it was. And Yasu was right cause soon Katsu was being blow away from the explosion the tags on the mans sword caused.

“Katsu!”Nana shouted as Katsu went right trough a few trees and fell limp to the ground blood flowing out of his mouth and a big wound on his stomach.

“I'll take care of him”Shin said hurriedly before rushing to Katsu's side to perform medical jutsu on him, but the man had other thoughts, because he soon appeared in front of the medical ninja and was about to use another explosion from his sword, but this time Nana was in time for his aid and managed to get a small cut on the mans chest before he could blow everyone to peaces.

“Go, Shin-kun, I'll take care of this bastard” Shin nodded and rushed to Katsu's side”I'll ask again: What's is your name?” The man sighted dramatically

“I'm so hurt that you don't know me”he said mockingly”After all that pitiful excuse of a swordsman continued repeating your name till the last moment she was blown to peaces by my sword.”Nana's eyes widened in realization and anger

“You! You were the one to kill Yuzuki-sensei, weren't you!!!!”Nana shouted her fist clenching the hilt of her swords, her knuckles turning white from the pressure. The man let out a maniacal bark.

“Was I?”he asked in mocking tone.

“State your name before I kill you, you scum!!!”Nana was shaking from anger by now, her sword starting glowing with pink chakra.

“Jinpachi Munashi. One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. At your service”he did a mocking bow and that is the last straw for Nana, cause she lunged at the fellow swordsman with her own sword aiming for his throat.
