Chương 19: Land Of Wave

Yamato and the other Jounin sighed, as they waited for their genins, it was almost 7 AM, and none of them had arrived, much to their annoyance. Tazuna scowled," Where are those fools?! Are they treating this as a game?! The lives of over a hundred thousand people!"

The man who around fifty to sixty was drinking some booze and growing in annoyance.

Hayate coughed and tired to grab his attention for a bit, where were his students anyway…"Tazuna-san, they'll probably arrive in a bit please do not think we are saying you are not worth their times."

Yugao sweated a bit before also adding," Yeah, they will come here in a moment, I'm pretty sure they had something which kept all of the busy, that must be it, yeah."

'Actually, I sent a shadow clone to search for them… But they were all in their compounds! Those idiots are treating this as a game!' Yugao thought deep inside.

"Sorry we are late! " The three genins finally arrived and apologized quickly, they wanted to stop for a quick meal at Ichiraku's who had invited them for a free ramen bowl, but Ryu wanted more so they had to wait for the moron, and they did not even notice the time moving until it was too late.

"You two…" Yamato gained a tick mark in his forehead, before sighing," Anyway let's go, you three were just a few minutes late, at least you are not like Kakashi-san, who typically is two hours late…" He finished and sighed again.

Before they continued walking, Ryu remembered something noticing the bags behind the jounins. "Ah, did you guys forget I brought storage seals for you three too?" He asked the three who stopped and smiled at him.

Ryu handed them a Storage Seal for each person, and the three used them to seal their bags inside it, they suddenly felt more fresh, Yugao was a bit more used to it, because when Anbu moved with stuff, they used Storage Seals imported from Uzushiogakure to have free hands.

Tazuna chuckled,"Seems you are not that useless, brat, Storage Seals are rarely seen in the Land Of Waves, only Gato has one, before Gato took over, my father used to tell me stories of when we were under Uzushio's rule, when Seals were sold in almost every random shop in there."

He sighed as he drank some more booze," Unfortunately I was too young at the time, so I don't really remember much, most of the time I was either building a house or fishing. I miss those times." He said.

The seven moved away from Konoha, straight into a road, which was in the middle of a forest. They walked like that for a few hours, and Ryu groaned," This is really quite long… How much did you say it'll take to reach Wave?"

Tazuna looked at him with the corner of his eyes before answering,"It took me about 2 days worth of time to reach Konoha, maybe it'll take less to actually return, I don't know for sure." The Uzumaki's eyes lowered in boredom.

They walked past two puddles, making five of them slightly move their eyes, besides Ryu who was still filled with boredom, however he internally knew the puddles were just,"Water Style - Hiding In Water Jutsu". A Jutsu of Kirigakure, just like Hiding In Mist.

There was just a slight problem, it had not rained in days in Konoha, and even in surrounding lands, it had not rained, there was also the issue that the ground was not even remotely wet, meaning there had been no rain.

Ryu made eye contact with the joinins and with his teammates before nodding. Suddenly from the puddles, two figures emerged , their handband was of Kiri, however it was a cut in the middle meaning they were rogue shinobis.

Ken suddenly turned back and shouted,"Fire Style - Great Fire Ball Jutsu!" As he went through hand seals and exhaled a large amount of fire, which hit one of them.

However they used some Metal Chains… Or was it Gauntlets, to defeat the attack, before dodging it. Yato came into the view as he slammed one of his palms into one of the two demon brothers,Gozu.

Meizu roared as he attacked the Hyuuga with his claw, Yato dodged the attack by jumping back, while Ryu took the chance to shout,"Water Style - Water Dragon Jutsu!" And attacking the two with a large water dragon.

"You bastard!" Meizu shouted as he threw his metal gauntlet at him, Ryu just jumped on top of it before throwing a shuriken at the metal which connected him with the gauntlet, which cut the support, making it fall down, he was only left with a claw as support.

"Brother!" Gozu shouted, however he was not in better condition, as Ken had slammed his leg into his head, making him feel dizzy, and he was quickly disarmed of his weapons, while Yato sealed off his Chakra Points very quickly.

Meizu's face turned red from anger as he rushed at Ryu with his claw, swinging it at him, however he did not expect him to lower his body and use his hand as support as he kicked his jaw with his leg.

He coughed blood and tried to retreat, however he was caught by his clothes by Ryu who slammed a Rasengan on his body, sending him flying and crashing into a nearby tree, unconscious.

Gozu panicked as he finally regained full sight, seeing his brother defeated and unconscious made him feel anger, however he knew he had no chance of defeating the three in a one on three fight, so he tried to retreat for now.

He did not expect a sword to appear next to his neck, and he gulped, a single move and he'd probably be brought down, and there wouldn't be a second life for him to enjoy after this, he'd just be dead.

It was a wood clone Ryu had created in the beginning, expecting this sort of confrontation before,Gozu sweated before he fell to the ground, surrendering, as he was slowly disarmed of all of his weapons.

The three jonins who had just decided to look from far away smiled at the sight, of two Chunins being tied to a tight rope, who they would not be capable of breaking away from, it also restricted their chakra.
