Chapter 52: Chapter 52...The HAND II
His name was Hanzo, an elite ninja who always completed his tasks, he was a stage above the emotionless dolls of the Hand.
Unlike them, he was blessed by the great Beast himself and was favoured by Madame Gao.
When Hanzo was first tasked with dealing with the little guy, he thought it was beneath him, thinking the little vigilante to be an easy target.
But how wrong he was, every time ge thought of launching a surprise attack, he would get noticed When he wouldn't be noticed, he would be shocked, watching the seemingly normal person ripping metal apart like it was nothing.
Hanzo knew that it was one of his hardest missions as of yet, possibly harder than the Hand Trials. Hanzo began to study, Vigilante after he figured out the young ones range of awareness.
Finding as many weaknesses as he could, like any other vigilante, he was a hero, meaning he prioritized civilians, That he also had a limit, above that limit, he starts hurting himself.
Many things came out, such as the vigilante was not trained enough to use his brute strength, the fighting technique was subpar, on par with someone who fights in street fights
But the strength was real, Reaction time was above average.
After carefully getting as many details as he could he decided to use the Russian Genovese family to round up the vigilante
He knew the Vigilante was aware of the hidden danger and that he was just acting, So Hanzo started acting as well
Using his squad to rile up the Young Vigilante, the fact that the policewoman might be in the building made the vigilante take out the minions with lethal force, in turn using his powers carelessly and thus, causing him injuries.
The potion was a problem, Hanzo saw him taking the drug, but it seemed to have had no effect or maybe just little effect.
"I must say, you are a worthy opponent, may I know your name," asked Hanzo
Hanzo for the first time felt an opponent was worthy enough to know his name
"Hah! you aren't worthy" the vigilante in question, although battered, still had the unruly tongue, and directly jabbed at Hanzo who lost his cool and attacked
"So be it, I will show you who's worthy"
Hanzo was angry at Jack and started using his expertise to deal with Jack, Jack was surprised at the speed of the Hand Ninja.
He felt that the attacks of the man named Hanzo were almost as powerful as him, but the speed and coordination were also very good.
Jack noticed black veins appearing on the body of Hanzo whose eyes were also completely black.
After exchanging some moves, Jack was hit and flew a good two meters and slammed into the pillar.
' it's not looking good, I need to end this fast, I am already too injured and can't risk falling or the transformation will be undone.'
thought Jack as he slowly stood up.
His muscles tearing with every movement,
"Not so cheeky now, are you" Taunted Hanzo as he motioned for Jack to come at him again.
"I can do this all day," Jack said as he lept at Hanzo.
'I will have him face the outer side and release a strong punch to deal with him, this will cause no harm to the building and possibly Yuri if she is somewhere in here
Jack released a series of kicks and punches, round after round trying to turn Hanzo towards the outside.
Hanzo knew what Jack wanted to do and resisted at first but it seemed that whatever force he was using to gain the boost in strength was taking a toll on his body, turning his very nature into that of a beast, even releasing growls several times as he tried to tank Jacks punches.
It seemed that Hanzo was getting stronger, but in reality, he was closer to losing than ever before, his only winning chance was his cunning nature and luring tactics,
The original plan to further use his opponent's strength to deplete his stamina and inflict self game was thwarted as he turned more beastly.
His eyes were now a feral red as he released a very beastly howl that travelled hundreds of meters,
'Is this guy being controlled by the BEAST, the one who is worshipped by the five fingers' Jack thought as he felt a little tingly looking at Hanzo who now resembled nothing like before?
Jack could now feel the presence and actions of Hanzo like a shining star in the dark night or like a black hole on a sunny day.
The guy practically oozed with sinister emotions, "Hey! how about taking a nap, little wannabe ninja" Jack released the strongest attack he could without completely damaging his arms and blasted the feral man far away.
'Hopefully, he will be unable to continue now' Though Jack as he quickly turned around and started searching for Yuri,
After Fifteen minutes he finally found Yuri, hung upside down, blood seeping out from the various bruises that Jack saw on her and many more that he couldn't see,
Jack had no words to say as he looked at the bruised up woman who was looking over cheery a couple of weeks back and having donuts while catching thief's left and right
Jack quickly arrived beside her as he put her down and started examining her and started applying first aid as he gave her water to drink.
Jack felt guilty about questioning someone like Yuri, who might have been beaten up just because she wasn't willing to cooperate
He fed her potions and hoped she would be okay, her leg and limbs were also broken, she had broken fingers
Seeing her like this made Jack fill up with extremely chilliness. Tears couldn't help but tear down his eyes.
Not caring about someone finding out or not, he directly transformed into Cedric and took out his wand, Yuri had earned it, he wouldn't find another one like her.
With spells, he turned her bones right and got rid of all the surface scars that might have been left behind.
But the internal injuries couldn't be healed so easily, he was just a little bit short on money so he couldn't buy the philosophers stone, maybe it had some kind of effect, it did have the ability to prolong life and turn things into gold.
Jack was all angrier at the police, no one came over, wasn't it standard procedure for Them to be in pairs, to be notifying their positions every specific time or something like that.
He took his phone and immediately dialled for an ambulance and told them to come immediately,
Jacks anger was above the roof at this moment, so much that he didn't even bother to heal his injuries as the face of an injured Yuri was stuck in his memories.
