Chapter 7: Meeting Demons


As Team Shisui, and their client were walking towards the Land of Waves, Naruto senses two similar demonic presences. "Brothers, " he thought.

While Shisui just sensed chakra. Most likely a Genjutsu being used. Sadly, the Genjutsu was not thought out well, as when they got near, it was a Genjutsu, that hid their bodies under a water puddle. When it hasn't rained in at least a month, but that's besides the point.

Shisui activated his Sharingan, and copied the technique. The jutsu is called: Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique. A technique that allows the user to fuse with water, even in water as shallow as a puddle. By doing so, the user can take advantage of their hidden presence and launch a surprise attack on their target.

When they passed the puddle, two people jumped from the puddle. These people are the Demon Brothers: Gozu, and Meizu.

Gozu has shoulder-length, wild dark-brown hair and dark eyes. He wears a rebreather that covers the lower half of his face and a large, clawed, poisonous gauntlet on his right arm which had a chain coming out of it that had the other end attached to his brother's own gauntlet. He wore a camouflage suit with bandages around his waist, dark-coloured, knee-length sandals and a ragged black cape. His Kirigakure hitai-ate has a single horn on it.

Meizu has shoulder-length, wild dark-brown hair and dark eyes. He wears a rebreather that covers the lower half of his face and a large, clawed, poisonous gauntlet on his left arm which had a chain coming out of it that had the other end attached to his brother's own gauntlet. He wore a camouflage suit with bandages around his waist, dark-coloured, knee-length sandals and several pouches around his waist. His Kirigakure hitai-ate had two horns on it.

On Gozu's waist, lay sheathed a sword that goes by the name Agni. While on Meizu's wais, lay sheathed a sword that goes by the name Rudra.

Both swords possess the same design, being wide, curved blades resembling the classic fictional depiction of an Arabian scimitar or pirate cutlass. However, Agni and Rudra, rather than being plain blades, are comprised of a curved support to which a series of backward-pointed segments each with its own rear-sloping cutting edge are fixed, forming a vicious serrated design that is somewhat reminiscent of a spinal cord. They are colored for their respective element, Agni orange for fire and Rudra turquoise for wind, though on both the cutting edges of the blade segments are bare metal and the guard, grip and pommel gold. The talking heads are mounted in the ends of the pommels of the two swords, and the guards of both are round and plain.

As they wrap Shisui up in the chain that connects the two brothers, Naruto thinks, "So that is why I was feeling the two demonic presences."

The Demon Brothers then yank their arms, "killing" Shisui. Which makes Hinata, who yells, "SHISUI-SENSEI!"

Naruto then gets ready, as blue and black goo forms in his hand, taking it's shape as the mighty Yamato. He then blocks a claw slash from Meizu. Which allows Gozu to attack the stationary Naruto, with his claw. When the slash connects to Naruto, he replaces himself with the shattered log pieces that his Sensei used previously to escape being ripped to pieces by the brother's chain.

Naruto then places Yamato sheath on his belt, and takes a step forward, disappearing. Reappearing seconds later, above the Demon Brothers, Naruto then let's gravity do it's job. As Naruto is falling, he flicks his left wrist, revealing his hidden blade. Naruto falls onto the two stabbing, and killing the two. Meizu with the hidden blade. Gozu with Yamato.

Yamato then absorbs the twin blades. Naruto then sheathes Yamato, who once again covers his forearm. The sentient sword then says, "This time you've earned a weapon, and a style."

Naruto asks, "What are they?"

Yamato answers, "The weapons? Well, they are called Agni, and Rudra. Angi is aligned with fire, while Rudra is aligned with wind. The style? It is simply called: Swordmaster Style."

Naruto replies, "Whoever named this style wasn't very creative."

Yamato says, "You are quite right, but your Sensei has returned."

Naruto returns from his conversation with Yamato, and sees that Shisui has, in fact, returned. Shisui says, "This mission has just raised in difficulty. Genin! Do you want to continue?"

The three obviously nod their head yes. All though, Hinata, and Choji were a bit hesitant. Shisui then says, "We will camp here for now, and continue the journey to Nami no Kuni, tomorrow."

So after pitching their tents, and eating dinner, they go to sleep.
