'Shit.'
And dodged the Kusari Fundo by a hairbreadth. Then again jumped a good five foot away from his opponents, all the while wondering why him. Wait. He knows that. Sighs. And grips his katana more firmly.
He was just doing his daily patrols by the border, with five other clan members, when they were being attacked. He won't admit it but he was caught off guard by their attack. Sure, there have been many disagreements between the clan since Nii-sama was inaugurated into being the clan head after their Otou-sama demised but never this. The Hagoromo clan were known for their viciousness, off and even on the battlefields. Being allies (or allied) and clan heir he has seen with his own eyes how vicious they can be.
He blocked the Tekko-kagi with his Katana, dodged the Kusagana aimed for him from behind and kneaded the one in front of him on his stomach, resulting in the Hagoromo shinobi to stumble backwards and fall on his knees. That being taken care of for the moment, he turned slightly and counted through his peripheral the number of Hagoromo shinobi. He cursed under his breath. There were eight of them including the one still on his knees. It's eight Hagoromo shinobi against him. The other members of his clan, all dead. It didn't take a genius to know that they were after him.
Panting harshly, Izuna adjusted his stance. He has to keep fighting till reinforcements arrive. Having kept the Mangekyou Sharingan activated for so long, his chakra was dwindling for an alarming rate. But he has to keep going, Nii-sama is one of the best sensors he knows, he must have known something off about his chakra by now. The only problem is for how much longer he would be able to hold them. He was tired. The only thing he has been doing is dodging them.
"Surrender Little Phoenix, you are injured and surrounded." One of them said with an ugly sneer on his face. He was clearly an Alpha by the smell and looks to be the Danchou. He scoffs. Of course. How stereotypical. The Alpha was also the one Izuna has been trying really hard to avoid fighting. The smell was not significant, like his Nii-sama's firepassionnight or Ha- he buried that thought before it can resurface, at least not during the middle of a fight where he is not sure if he will come out alive or not. So, he did the only thing he did best, is to sass back. He snarls
"Are you scared that you all can't take me down? Because if you do, I understand." Added with a sarcastic snort for extra effect.
"Why you..." He fisted his weapon free hand, the other one holding a Kama.
Izuna smirked "Looks like your manly pride has been bruised" then widened his smirk "Good."
"You and your brother are just a nuisance. The Uchiha clan has lost its viciousness upon your brother becoming clan head but no more. We will show the Uchihas and also the Senjus, how battles are fought. And starting with you just seems right. Shizoku, make sure to destroy his eyes beyond repair."
It was followed by a chorus of agreement. 'His... eyes...? Shit' Then all of sudden he was being attacked from all sides. Hurriedly forming the hand-signs.
Horse, Serpent, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger ......"Katon: Gokakyu no jutsu!"
He shouted which was followed by a huge ball of fire coming out of his mouth. The five shinobis in front of him being taken care of, he positioned his Katana and turned behind him to fend off another shinobi with it but it was clear that Izuna's skills surpassed the other shinobi's. It took a great amount of chakra out of him from using the Katon: Gōkakyū no jutsu and now engaged in a sword fight while fending off two more of them. Not to mention the other ones who most likely must have recovered. He gritted his teeth. He just has to wait a bit longer. A Tekki-kagi pierces through his left shoulder. Deep. And he screamed, then the next he knew, his eyesight had been blurred from something being thrown towards his eyes.
