Chapitre 34: Chapter 34 : Austin 3:16 lol
Esketit.
-----------------
Kenji barely blocked the broken bottle swipe at his chest. Both figures danced in the confined room, eight prisoners looking on with anticipation. Stone Cold grunted with satisfaction while he forced Kenji into the wall, leaving an imprint of his body. After a few seconds, Kenji slowly emerged from the rock wall. A trail of blood leaked from his mouth. He flexed his white pupils. Then, he had an idea. Aya's core teaching of her sword style was speed. Quick solid swipes and pokes into the opponent. Widdle them down until they loose their footing, the core of fighting, and deliver the final blow.
Kenji had seen Aya perform this multiple times, but he had never tried it. He decided to give it a go. Stone Cold seemed to gain speed and strength with every drop of alcohol he ingested, so Kenji figured if he couldn't see, how could he use it. Kenji performed the seal of confrontation.
He whispered, "Hidden Mist Jutsu". A release of steam and fog pushed from his mouth, engulfing the entire room in fog. Kenji unsheathed his sword and took a deep breath. Stone Cold tried to hide his uncertainty. He'd seen this jutsu only a few times, both were narrow escapes.
All Stone Cold heard was a woosh. The next thing, he saw the blur of two white deathly eyes flash by. Stone Cold still pushed with his bottle. He ended with a slash to the chest, but not before puncturing Kenji's left arm. Kenji retreated into the mist. Aya made this look so easy. She was definitely faster than Kenji. Instead of training his speed to the max like she suggested, Kenji attempted to train his emotions like the Commander told him. He regretted that.
"You must be conflicted there son. You got a dern Leaf headband, but yer usin the Mist Jutsu. You got to be an outcast like me then, right?" Stone Cold smirked while looking around the fog. He wore a face like he'd hit it right on the money.
Kenji was plastered onto the wall to his left, thinking about what he said. Partly, it was true.
Stone Cold continued. "Why don't you join me boy. We could plunder and kill anything and anyone we wanted to. Get all the riches, rape all the women. AHHHHH. IT'D BE GLORIOUS. THINK ABOUT IT KID!!!!!"
And Kenji did. He hesitated. He didn't know what he was fighting for in the first place. It's not like the entire Leaf was his family. Why risk his life for any of them besides himself.
Images of Aya and Team 7 came to mind. If not for them, he wouldn't even still have this Leaf insignia on his forehead.
Kenji contemplated.
"I reckon you went through some stuff in tha past, but that don't matter now kid. With me, you can live for yaself, do anything for yaself, and be yerself." Stone Cold lowered his tone, trying to sound compassionate.
Kenji glanced at the women chained up. They could clearly see his white gaze. He was only a few feet away. Instead of that fear, that contempt, that Kenji was always met with, it was hope. Hope that he, would save them from this situation. Their faces looked like they had already been through hell. But they still believed. Kenji's fist clenched the black, broken-in handle of his sword. Those ladies were the only reason he needed to finish this. He owed Kaito and his neighbors for the hospitality, and now, he even found the heart to want to finish this for himself.
Kenji burst from the wall, pushing with as much speed as he had. He threw a kunai and grabbed onto Stone Cold's back. The kunai sailed to Stone Cold's side, so he didn't worry about it. Just an unlucky throw, he thought. Until Kenji grunted, attached to his torso and angled his face towards the kunai. When the knife was lost into the fog, an explosive tag trailed behind it, with ninja wire, about six feet behind the blade. Before Stone Cold could do anything, it exploded. Kenji took cover behind the man. He was large enough to safely shield four Kenjis.
Stone Cold's face was in the process of melting and he was still standing, covering his eyes. He swiped at Kenji back and forth. Kenji disappeared and reappeared. Back and forth. Slashing his tendons, rendering him helpless. Stone Cold fell to his knees, Kenji had cut him seventy four times. He was counting. Seventy four times and the big man was down.
Kenji stood over him.
"Kill me!!!!" Stone Cold sounded desperate. "PLEASE, I'D RATHER DIE THAN GO BACK TO PRISON!"
Kenji stood there, remembering Jiraiya's words. He would not do it.
Stone Cold smiled. "I RAPED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE WOMEN BACK THERE!!! NOW YOU WANNA KILL ME RIGHT!?!?!?!?!?"
Kenji tensed up, but he still said no. Kenji backhanded the butt of his sword into his head three times before he was knocked out. Kenji dispelled the mist. He had to admit. He liked this strategy. He just had to greatly improve his speed. Maybe add some spice in there as well. He grabbed a key from Stone Cold's pocket and released the women. They thanked Kenji tremendously. And it turns out, Stone Cold lied. Instead of rape, him and his gang just beat them. It was another way to blow off steam, but still. Sadistic. Kenji was disgusted. And glad he had the heart to say no. It made him want to shred that man to pieces even more though, but he didn't for Jiraiya's sake.
---------------------
Outside the compound, the ladies followed him, supporting each other along the way. Kenji carried one princess style, her injuries were moderate. He fired a great fireball Jutsu into the air. Several men from the villages came running, to support the victim couples. But some others came running also. Actually, they were here before Kenji could blink. The Leaf Anbu. Kenji stayed focused and kept his veiny face and white eyes on. He still didn't trust ANYONE with that mask. No matter what village. The prisoners were rounded up and taken to prison. Kaito worked all night. The Leaf was kind enough to send medical supplies, so Kaito was grateful. He thanked Kenji, as well as every other villager. Some even fell to their knees in thanks.
Kenji felt another feeling he never felt before. It wasn't arrogance or pride. It was something he didn't recognize. He'd have to figure this out when Jiraiya returned.
-----------------
After three months....
Kenji delivered a basket of potatoes and rice to every house. Over the past few weeks, he worked with another few men in the fields. Since he arrived here, Kenji started to love this village. Away from all the strife of the big ninja villages. Everyone relied on each other, helped each other. No matter how small the issue. Kenji even taught the young kids how to through kunai and a few basic ninja procedures. Kenji was always quiet and kept to himself mostly, besides when he taught the kids. The villagers respected his privacy, since he did help them. Everyone started seeing Kenji as a part of the town. Kaito and his wife were happy again and treated Kenji well. A part of their own household. The only thing was, Kenji missed Aya. Too much. He missed his team a lot, but seeing the loving attitude of Kaito's wife every day only brought sadness for him because he didn't confide in Aya nearly at all, since they moved to the Leaf.
When he was alone and not missing his family, Kenji thought about everyone he'd kill when he went back to the Mist. At first, he didn't want to spare anyone, but now, he thought the civilians were fine. They didn't do anything. But everyone else, he plotted every body part and strand of sanity he would steal from them. All of it.
Before he knew it, Jiraiya showed up. Kenji was washing some clothes outside, when Jiraiya managed to walk right up to him.
"Well, I guess your senses have dulled." Jiraiya laughed.
"I let you sneak up on me. So you'd think my senses have dulled. If you tried anything, you'd be proven wrong." Kenji stared at the man. He didn't smile. Kenji almost had no sense of what a smile felt like lately, but his tone hinted at one.
"Huh. Whatever you say kid." Jiraiya sat beside him. Kenji kept to his washing. "I'm guessing you like this place, since you're doing laundry and stuff."
"Yeah, I guess."
"Did you complete the mission?"
"Yep, no one was killed either."
Jiraiya smiled. "Okay. I believe you." He stood up and stretched. "It might take a while, but I thought up my plan for you...training wise."
Kenji stopped his activity and listened.
"Let's get to it."
----------------
Tried to fit everything into one chapter. I feel like Stone Cold's personality is the same as real life. lol. Lots of alcohol. Getting into the opponents head. That was fun. I'm pretty dark, but I can't stand rape in stories like this. So there you go. This was the halfway point for Kenji, so I'll pick up with Rei or Sasuke in the next chapter. I'm not sure if theirs will last as long, but when the rotation gets around to kenji again I have a whole other section planned for him. It's pretty good. Not to toot my own horn. Jiraiya will finally tell Kenji the point of his 'lesson' too so look forward to that. The 'wraith' is forming in the horizon. One or two more things and he'll be complete. hehe. I'm out. YERRR!
