Eiyasu (lead thug): "Well, I can't believe it two rich boys come down to our red light district, Hay rich guys wanna spare some money?!!”
Kuro paid them little mind, not detecting enough spirit energy or chakra to even give him pause he simply smiled and walked past them with his friend Yakumo and was past their little blockade before they even knew they were past them, except Eiyasu. Eiyasu smirked as he caught up to Kuro. "C'mon man times have been hard, you guys have so much and we have so little." Kuro without pausing passed the man two hundred thousand yen with a nod and kept walking.
Eiyasu was stunned as his friends gathered to see what he had been given. They all cheered and were about to say thanks but Kuro and Yakumo had already entered the club.
Smiling Kuro and Yakumo sat at a table just close enough to the main stage and the secondary stage to see two girls at once.
Yakumo laughed: "Man you sure know how to handle people, I wouldn't have given them a sand stone and you just handed them money like it was nothing."
Kuro shrugged: "I didn't want to have any problems, and I could easily part with it. As it stands I still have nine hundred thousand yen to toss into the wind since after my wedding let's have some fun."
Yakumo smirked: "You save up just to have nights like this?"
Kuro nodded enthusiastically although in his heart of hearts it was just another avenue of training his now multifaceted mind which was how he felt whenever he wasn't out on a mission or training.
The night went very well at least for the next three hours. About twenty beautiful women from various countries. Not just Sunan girls, but Cloud girls, Fire Country women, Island women, and exotic girls Kuro could not recognize that were most likely shinobi wives acting out. Spiced, iced drinks were poured, cave sea lobsters and sandwyrm steaks were served and by the time Yakumo was too tired to keep his eyes open Kuro and Yakumo had only spent six hundred thousand yen. Kuro's demonic energies gobbled up the majority of the alcohol before he could get really drunk so by the time Yakumo was too sloshed and needed to head home Kuro was back to full speed. They exited to find the gang members waiting for them so with little else to do he used some normal chakra to keep Yakumo alert a little while longer. With a smile and a nod Kuro waved the gang members inside and the seven young men quickly came running. Kuro acknowledged that the boys may not be spiritually fit to be shinobi they were very well physically suited for the sword arts. Yakumo stirred with a rousing yell “Konpaaiii!!!” Eiyasu joined in with the yell. The drinking games continued and the women did dance and everyone had a good time till four unknown men arrived. They seemed to join in the merriment but Kuro could sense they had unusually strong chakra. Beers were slung about and for a brief moment things were very rowdy. Akuma Kuro summoned Sharingan Kuro whom quickly took point near the main exit making sure no one was injured after he activated his special eyes. The clarity of his Sharingan sight allowed Kuro to determine that two of the men before him were Unbent but they were not there to cause problems. They were on the run from something else and Sharingan Kuro could sense the fear in their nature absorbing chakra.
Eiyasu was just coming to thank Kuro when he saw his eyes lock onto something in the shadows. He turned and gaped in fear, Sharingan Kuro did not ..."Oy, Eiyasu, get my comrade here to Throne of Bone district as he passed him the last three hundred thousand yen he had on him, don't turn around, and don't look back when you hear the commotion... GO." Eiyasu had enough sense to get going as he grabbed Yakumo threw him over his shoulder as his friends jumped to their feet and with a sense of serious urgency made their way out of the Jade Tavern. Akuma Kuro cracked his knuckles and slid on his runic wraps as he wrapped his hands and then checked his weapons belt and the twenty set of throwing knives in his belt. He wished he had at least worn his light armor, this was going to get messy. He hit the locator seal on his right shoulder as the true monster approached.
Its claws had a dark aura around each one, Kuro decided instantly to avoid a hit from one of those. Its eyes glowed red as it rushed in as fast as it could attempting to catch one of the Unbent as the others ran for their lives dancers, bartenders, and inebriated customers all as Sharingan Kuro made sure they could all make the exit. Akuma Kuro released a quick gout of fire to blind the beast as he ran forward slapping aside the beast’s clawed grasp for the Unbent. Sharingan Kuro hypnotized the remaining Unbent to go to Throne of Bone where he would await a talk with the temple guardian. Akuma Kuro had thrown the beast off as it had expected him to fall back instead Kuro had run under its blind flailing grasp and tackled him through a window into a tight alleyway as regained its sight the abomination turned and roared, instead of two arms it unleashed all four arms bracing it against the alley walls as it unleashed a breath weapon. A roaring gale of razor sharp chitin like shards from its mouth. Akuma Kuro’s body was torn and shredded but he instantly started healing rapidly and painfully from his demon blood as he threw a set of explosive knives into the beast's flanks while aiming for his face. The beast's masked head simply weaved and dodged of its own ability until the last blade hit the wall near its face and exploded chipping a significant portion of the mask. It was one of the rare bloods but he had been reborn through dark sorcery far more advanced than Kuro’s own seals. The poison laced chitin enraged Kuro and he simply snapped, his mind was gone in a haze of rage so thick that a giant ogre couldn't lift it.
Akuma Kuro and Sharingan Kuro began having heart fluctuations from the shared effect of the poison and their proximity to one another as their heartbeat was getting faster and faster until the abomination finally landed a clawed slash across Akuma Kuro's left forearm which immediately began to burn and ache. The bakemono seemed to have smiled rather wildly with his venom fanged maw as he spoke almost in a whisper "Weakling." Sharingan Kuro kept stabbing at the creature's head which kept dodging of his own accordance. Slowly Kuro's coordination returned as he forced the spirit poison out of his body with his demonic energies. He staggered as he watched the murky black poison dissipate into dark chakra.
Even after shoving all the poison out Sharingan and Akuma Kuro felt slowed. Leaning back and taking an easy stance Sharingan Kuro took careful aim at the monster's neck. His blade rang against chitinous armor causing brilliant sparks to fill the night. The spider like being took a good hit to the throat but he regenerated quickly and whispered again "Weakling." Suddenly the spiderman was behind them both and began battering them senseless. After twenty four strikes, Akuma Kuro finally found an opening taking careful aim he committed himself to one more counterattack which he hoped was a precise shot. Sharingan Kuro had timed it as best he could having just barely recovered from of the abomination's vengeful attacks. Akuma Kuro managed to blast it from atop him just as the poison caused all Kuro’s to fall unconscious, his ribs broken, his face smashed in a bit and his left arm dislocated with a minor stress fracture. His healing factor was working overtime. He awakened to being patched up pretty quickly by Yakumo and Eiyasu whom had returned with Anbu and medics. Akuma Kuro stood in anger as his other bodies recovered. His bodies told him they had all been unconscious for three minutes. There would be retribution, he now had a sharingan scan of the abomination and fore knowledge of its abilities he would be prepared and he would hunt it down. Now to see why it was hunting the Unbent.
