Ziren was walking at night. Enjoying the breeze. He had a lot on his mind. About his unknown future. About how he was going to proceed from here. He was in enough trouble with Takeshi as it is. Thankfully though, he managed to beat up his evil self and take permanent control of the situation.
He only has to hope that the ANBU captain that he is appointed to sees him fit for duty and not see him as an insane ninja that should be locked away.
But his attention of his own problems were interrupted when he heard hushed whispers. Ziren leaned up against the wall, listening to the people's voices and blood flows. Judging from the blood. There were three of them.
"I'm telling you man! The bank door is wide open. They never lock it."
"I don't know. It seems like a trap."
Ziren listened, aware that he is spying on people who plan to rob a bank.
He planned it out in his head. They are criminals, yes. But doing his blood justsus right now would not be a good idea. He does know how to not involve blood to his water and non elemental style justsus, so he'll have to depend on those for the time being. These are still people of the Leaf. He won't seriously harm them. But he sure won't let them get away with this either.
But then, it sounded like their big boss was talking, "We will be rich!
And after that, we won't even have to worry about a single ninja coming after us! We can have mercenaries protect us!"
Ziren didn't like this at all. But he thinks he has a plan formulated. He rushed over to the bank as fast as he can.
The first thing Ziren did was lock the door. Then climb out a window, too small for the men who plan to rob the bank.
Once he was done with that, he armed himself with some smoke bombs and listened while he was on top of the roof of the building.
And sure enough, three shadows were lurking trying to be sneaky.
Ziren had thought the situation over. He could have alerted his fellow ANBU, but by the time has come for them to arrive, these criminals would have probably gotten away with it. Ziren thought about alerting them during the middle of battle. Yeah, that'd be good.
Ziren waited until the three were in position, then he threw down his smoke bombs and dropped down into the fray.
"What! Hey! What's going on?"
Ziren weaved some hand signals and made a water whip. He lashed it out at the loud guy, quickly knocking him out easily.
His attention turned to the other two blood flows in the smoke.
"We got company Boss!"
Ziren lashed his water whip out again, this time it wrapped around the guys feet, effectively making him fall down. Ziren the proceeded to kick the dude in the face. And he was out like a light.
The final guy, was quiet through the whole battle. Seemingly thinking if he can hide in the smoke and be quiet, he can get the jump on Ziren.
But Ziren knew exactly where he was. He made another water whip and turned to face the direction of the man.
"So you are the one that we've been hearing so much about."
Ziren looked through the smoke, which for the most part, was gone. The man who stood before him had similar features as to Ziren. Blue hair, yellow eyes. But... There was no white around his eyes. They were red. He looked like an older version of Ziren in fact.
"Who are you?" Was all that he could manage to say.
The man looked at him and smiled. "Hello. Little brother."
The man then weaved his own hand signs and made a water whip of his own. But to Ziren's surprise, it slowly turned crimson red.
Ziren was frozen in fear. He only seen those eyes when looking in a mirror or from his one confrontation with his inner self.
He then threw a smoke bomb in the air, as high up as it can go. He then hit it with his water whip, making smoke come out in the sky, a surefire way to make sure anyone could see it.
He then turned and lashed the whip around, the other man's hands, making sure that he won't be using his blood weapon.
But he only smiled."I guess we will meet again some other time."
He then went poof. Smoke and everything. Gone. In his place was one of the other criminals that Ziren had beat up.
An ANBU agent has arrived. They didn't speak to Ziren, just had a cold look in their eyes, as of knowing all the troubles that Ziren has gotten into.
"I have caught two criminals that were trying to steal Yen from the bank.
There was a third one, but he escaped with nothing."
The ANBU agent didn't show any emotions of being impressed at all. He looked towards the two criminals. He snapped his fingers and they disappeared into the darkness.
Ziren probably thought they were now in the place Maru had his first tutor lesson in. Where he showed Ziren and others their worst fears.
Ziren went to check to make sure that nothing really was stolen from the bank. And to his surprise, nothing was even touched. He let out a sigh of relief. But now, he suspects that things have gotten a lot more complicated.
