”We’re pushing them back!” A voice said over the radio set.
A sigh of relief came from Junko and Gin as this battle had been going on for quite some time. Partnering with ANBU personnel, an eight man unit was formed to apprehend the designated target named Genzo. As an enemy of cloud broke out of prison and escaped, he released Genzo who was an upcoming mafia boss within the village and a revenant kinjutsu user. After his escape, Genzo immediately went into hiding and regrouped.
Somehow, Genzo managed to remove his chakra cuffs and went on a murder spree to retain hearts. Again. Following Genzo’s MO, ANBU personnel managed to track the killer and the rest of his gang down at the outskirts of the cronopolis where he hid underground. Upon evaluation of the situation, Anbu personnel immediately contacted the medical sennin because they’d need his best men from the Sentou Henka and someone to handle the kinjutsu itself.
Pondering on the last mission and failed evaluation of Fumi, Junko was a bit more careful on who he’d take out into the field for evaluation this time. Especially because of how high of caliber this mission was. A part of him wanted to take men from the Sentou Henka and simply handle the kinjutsu instead, but the harvesters still needed to be rebuilt and he had candidates ready for evaluation. And that’s where Gin came in.
Gin had Demonic Ancestry abilities that coursed through his veins along with advanced surgical skills that would prove very valuable to the harvester division. To top things off, he held the power of a mastered Sharingan due to an implant procedure. Overall, Gin was a perfect candidate and this mission would prove if he had what it took to be a harvester.
So far, Junko liked what he was seeing. Arriving to the outskirts of the cronopolis and ambushing the mafia with ANBU personnel, things immediately intensified, but Gin was holding his own. Fighting with nothing more than a kunai in hand, Gin utilized taijutsu and genjutsu in single combos. His taijutsu casted genjutsu and sometimes it even seemed like his genjutsus casted the effects of taijutsu.
Watching closely with his rinnegan Sharingan eyes, everything moved extremely slow. Junko was amazingly able to secretly break down the technique Gin was utilizing using his new eyes. With the normal Sharingan, Gins particular attacks wouldn’t be something copyable, but somehow Junko was now even able to see bloodline based techniques clearly and make them his own. The medical sennin could see how much chakra Gin utilized, the time it took him to combine his taijutsu and genjutsu, and even how to affectively cast the particular combo over multiple individuals.
Once Junko had it, he immediately began utilizing the technique in battle as well to further use his eyes and sword skills to their full extent. Immediately, Mafia members began to drop like rain and make their own puddles of blood as Junko’s strikes not only cut them wide open, but left them mentally damaged as they laid motionlessly. Bleeding while not even knowing they’ve been cut.
As the battle went on through the streets of Kumogakure and the Mafia was finally pushed back, it was time to take the fight underground. Underground, the scenery would change, but that means they’d be a step closer to Genzo and with each step closer to him meant a step closer to a well deserved good nights rest.
Coming to the underground hideout entrance, only five of the eight man unit remained. Looking at each other, the shinobi were getting to the point when they’d soon be winded and fatigued. ”This is the last push.” Junko said as they all looked down to the ground.
”Let’s make this count.” One of the masked ANBU personnel said as he began a set of hand signs. Immediately, the ground caved in, forming an entrance to the underground hide out. Jumping down, only splashes were heard as their boots hit water. Maneuvering through the tunnels they immediately came to an opening and went head to head with mafia members once more.
”Junko-sama! Press forward! Put an end to this!”
Nodding to Gin, the two pressed forward together. Leaping over the batch of enemies guarding a hall way, they attempted to press forward to Genzo, but were being chased. ”Shit.” Junko said beginning to mold some reality bending chakra as he came to a sudden halt and turned to the individuals chasing them. Luckily, a water wall instantly shot up, blocking the pursuers from entering the hall.
Continuing down the hall, it wasn’t long before they reached an opening. The room was nothing special, an older man simply sat upon a rock. His face was scared and he wore a suit attire that matched many of his goons. As the old man stood to his feet, Junko and Gin remained on guard. They knew the power this man possessed and knew it would be foolish to slack for a second.
”Shall we dance?”
”Junko, I’ll create the opening. Let’s do this.”
”Let’s..” Junko said as his eyes focused on Genzo. Junko could see four hearts in the old mans single body and they were all beating alive and well. In addition, he was taking a particular stance that seemed like no stance at all. The old man was tapping into something deep within and Junko could read every last bit of what was going on. ”Its a defensive maneuver!” Junko thought breaking down the skill and copying it for himself.
Looking to Gin, Junko could see he was once again prepping to use his devilish trick of taijutsu and genjutsu. Instantly, Gin rushed in with immense speed while charging his fist with a huge amount of chakra. Drawing back and delivering a tremendous blow to Genzo’s stomach, the old man immediately hacked spit across the floor.
Following up his assault, Gin continued by delivering a combination of punches and kicks, but Genzo recovered from the fatal blow as if unfazed and began blocking the roaring combination.
”You’re no match for me with punches like that. That didn’t even tickle.” Genzo said before taking advantage of an opening in Gins combination. Returning a blow, Genzo’s fist Knocked Gin back several feet, sending him sliding back towards Junko.
Listening to his comrade heavily breathe, Junko simply nodded. ”Nice, that’s one.” Junko said realizing the plan in action. ”Rest.” Junko said before rushing forward. Just as Genzo did, Junko took a stance that didn’t seem like a stance at all and began combat. As Genzo attacked, Junko blocked, and as Junko blocked, he noticed that he was taking barely any damage.
”Amazing technique.” Junko thought feeling the weight of the old mans punches weighing on his guard. ”I see, with such a technique... One can not adequately perform offensive movements. they must commit to defense to have such a reduction in damage.” Junko thought watching as the old man was growing frustrated with Junko’s defense. Parring a blow, Junko immediately switched to offense and the two were now making exchanges blow for blow.
”What type of damn eyes do you have!” Genzo said winded
It was interesting to say the least that Genzo would ask such a thing. In truth, Junko didn’t know. Junko was still growing accustomed to his new found abilities and there was so much to explore as he was now a hybrid of some sort due to his reality energy mixing with the power of the rinnegan. The reaction exposed the dormant bloodline within him and now he was fighting while still learning just what he could do. Little did the sennin know, he could do things beyond anyone’s imagination. ”Still trying to figure that out.” Junko said winded. ”All I know is, these eyes see it all.”
As the two gave each other space and came to a halt, Gin was now back to his feet and was still winded. The old man suffered from age and his opponents suffered from fatigue due to all the fighting it took to get to him. Overall the playing field was even and things would have to soon come to an end.
”Let’s end this shall we?” Junko said as his eyes morphed into the mangekyo Sharingan. Simultaneously, Gin’s transplanted eye did the same as he was ready to end things as well.
”You’re right. Let’s end things.” Genzo said as tendrils popped through his back and ripped his flesh. Sprouting out, two tendril demon like beings stood before the shinobi. Suddenly though, Genzo took a deep breath and exhaled very slowly. His body was old, but he was catching a second wind. As Junko said though, his eyes seen it all. Copying the breathing technique and taking a deep breath for himself followed by a slow exhale, Junko was now on his second wind also and felt as if he gathered a great deal of his energy back. At least enough to end this fight.
In a mere second, one tendril beast shot a burst of wind from its mouth and the other shot fire. The attacks collided forming one single blast and aimed straight for Junko and Gin. Just as fast as the blast was released and about to hit its targets dead on, it was interrupted. The blast began to twist and morph in thin air right before their eyes and Genzo observed with a face of confusion.
Looking to Gin, Junko observed his focus on the blast with a blood draining eye. It was the work of his mangekyo Sharingan and it created less than a second for an opening. Luckily for Junko, that was all he needed. Utilizing reality bending energy, Junko quick silver stepped behind his enemies and left only an image of himself at his previous location.
Drawing his blade, another wave of power passed through Junko as he zeroed in on Genzo’s last three hearts. Somehow ... some way... this power was allowing Junko to speed up his already reality bending attacks to execute them beyond time and sound. So as Junko moved, just for his attack, his opponents were practically standing still. In that moment, a single cut to the outside eye was much more as Junko slashed over ten times through his opponents entirely. Junko.... unknowingly was practically in a void of his own... speeding time and reality as he so pleased.
As the blast was consumed by Gin’s teleportation technique (Kamui), Genzo watched as Junko’s image disappeared from in front of him and finally felt his presence behind him. Unfortunately, that was all he could do before agony rushed to his body. The old man immediately hacked blood as he fell to his knees.
Little did the old man know, Gin’s taijutsu punch from earlier caused one of his hearts to burst and also delivered a genjutsu that delayed agony. In response, he was careless with his hearts thinking he’d have a back up stored in case him and his tendril creatures were destroyed. In the end, deception and time warping speed killed the man.
”Job well done Gin.” Junko said with a smirk. Unfortunately the sennin didn’t hold that smirk for long as he quickly blanked out. Falling to his face, he had been pushing himself far beyond his limits with powers he still knew nothing about as they were far beyond reality, Time, sound, and any normal comprehension.
Opening his eyes once more, Junko woke to a plush hospital bed, his loving wife and wonderful children. Standing at the door with a smirk, Gin nodded before walking away. ”Thank you..” Junko mumbled before being rushed with hugs and tears. It was quite a mission and their was much Junko still needed to understand. For now though, he’d enjoy rest, his family, hospital food, and hopefully more rest. One thing was for sure, Junko had found his first harvester member. Many more still needed to be evaluated. Many had extraordinary talents and would hopefully have extraordinary resolve to push as Gin did.
So many things Junko had to focus on as the sennin. For the first time in a long time though, he could focus on the little things. ”Eh, hey. I think the hugs are killing me.” Junko said feeling the love as they were squeezing the breath out his body.
