"I'm not afraid of death but see to it that Ichido gets whats coming for him, Senju. He will attend a meeting in the thunder grounds of kumogakure about a month from now. Beware, he is highly guarded."

Those were the last words of the shinobi -Zen before he met his demise at the hands of this jounin that would later come to be acknowledged as Syn of the Sharingan. Both Zen and his master Ichido had committed a terrible crime to Syn especially and the whole world at large. They had indulged in an immoral way of revitalizing their own life span with the use of another's life force. Syn had happened to survive this deadly ritual through some mystical grace that was beyond his own understanding but in return, he was brought back as an empty husk left to roam the world unguided. This man fought his way through all odds and in the end retrieved his lost memories from the depths of where they had been burried as he began the hunt for the two who had shed his first skin and taken away his previous life. Zen was the first to fall at the hands of the Senju and Ichido was next in line.


TIME: 8:00pm
LOCATION: SYN'S WOODEN HOUSE
It was all as if nothing was going to happen. The jounin had calmed himself all day, taking his time to sleep all through for the greater hunt to come. No, this wasn't an hunt, it was an extermination. He was going to sever the last ties to his former life as Draygglez Senju. After Ichido's death, no one would know.. Or so he thought. The day had been unlike any other. He had spent more than enough time resting and it was about time. He looked at the clock and watched every second tick. He was not restless and neither was he in a hurry. He had planned not to allow his anger overtake him but he was not certain if he could guarantee that. He was going to savour every moment of the battle and he did not expect to finish off his target so easily. The first time, he had been captured by a rat with a very silly technique. Cowardly he'd say but versatile too. Tricks were very good in turning the tides of a battle and even the mighty could apply a few for better results.
He looked once more, about fifteen minutes to eight thirty pm. He walked calmly into the shower and turned the knob as the water flushed down on him. The cold temperature soothed his nerves, giving him some sort of comfort. Water is life. The jounin got out of the bathroom, walking towards his window and staring out to the sky while letting his body dry by itself.

The stars were just beginning to come out and they basked beautifully in the glory of the full moon. It was always said that a full moon could signify a great number of things and this one here, Syn believed was a sign that the blood of a man.. No, the blood of more than one man would be spilled today because he knew that there would be many others willing to sacrifice their lives at the end of Syn's blades for Ichido's cause. He breathed out slowly, his body fully dry as he walked over to his wadrobe. Picking out a black knee length high collared coat and pants, he wore them over his already worn camelio suit as he wrapped pieces of bandages round his hands though not covering his fingers. He rechecked his inventory that contained about twnety kunais, fifteen shurikens, twenty senbons, some smoke bombs and two explosive tags as the bag rested tightly on his right back pocket while a maximum of three scrolls were about his waist. He removed the demon's fang from where it rested on the wall as he took a minute to sharpen the blade, striking it softly to hear the tingling sound it made loudly. His black high soled shoes were next and he was done. Oh, one more thing. He picked up his kumogakure no sato head band and tied it around his head before sliding the head band down to cover his left sharingan. Fully equipped, he exited his home, locking the little mercy he had within him inside the house.
This mission is one that regards no mercy, only violence!

WC:792

TIME: 8:30PM
LOCATION: STREETS OF KUMOGAKURE
The jounin had exited his wooden abode exactly thirty minutes after the hour of eight. The moment he left that building he calls a home, all color was drained from his countenance and the only thing that remained was black.. Darkness. It was as a result of him being angry but instead of throwing a tantrum, he had decided to keep calm and rather turn this anger into some sort of boost. He would need it if Zen's words had been right concerning Ichido. Whether to make Ichido's death as quick as Zens' was already out of the question. He had planned to cut him flesh by flesh, limb by limb and watch the blood drip from him drop by drop. Yes, that was monstrous but Ichido deserved it. This punishment would not compare to the many lives that Ichido had taken for his own selfish interests and personal agenda. Perhaps the screams of the older man when he will be cut limb by limb by Syn would appeal the souls of the ones that had met their end at the whim of this unecessary evil. His jugdement is coming and the one to deliver would be no other than the jounin of the cloud.

There wasn't much to take in about the streets. Few traders closing up, the various shutting of doors and windows. The dragging of few feet in the distance, probably some drunk young men. In the alley on his right, a female trying to entice another male and the young man really was falling for it. They were both young but that did not matter to Syn. They had their lives to live and he was pretty much sure that they were adults so there really wasn't any reason to go and stop whatever it is that they were doing since neither party was bringing harm to the other or so it happened by the looks of the situation. Few flaps were heard above from birds that were returning to their homes or maybe seeking out night food for their young. A person walking at night was not necessarily going back home besides there were a great number of things that were done at night rather than in the day time. Ranging from going to the tavern to get drunk, the hotel to have sex, the black market to purchase illegal goods, sneaking out of the village for a meeting with someone and even moving to execute someone.

Both of his hands rested safely in the pockets of his pants as he walked calmly. There was no rush, not yet. Not yet. He watched the lights in the homes of many go off one after the other and he kept on moving, heading towards the gates of the great village. The cool night breeze wafted the sweet smell of the village across him as he took in the sweet smell with all happiness. A sigh escaped his lips and he knew that this burden would soon be lifted off of his shoulders. It weighed like the atlas but in a matter of moments, this atlas would come crashing down unto the earth's surface. He was certain. The jounin crossed a few more streets and came unto one where a small group of cats and dogs were pitched against each other. The dogs were more in numbers, being it a three to two confrontation but the cats did not seem intimidated as they brandished their claws while the dogs did so too with their teeth. It was an interesting scene but Syn did not have time to watch. He made his presence known to the animals who were lost in their own world of anger as he snapped his left thumb and middle finger causing both species of animals to scamper away in fear of he would could decide their fates.

A smirk escaped his lips at how his ruthless form made the animals retreat in fear. This same darkness.. He wanted it to envelope those that would protect Ichido so that they would know that he was not there to joke around but he hardly felt that was possible. If he only had to fight Ichido squarely, then there would be no fun in that. He needed to charge and Ichido's pun would do just fine for him. Come to think of it, he was approaching a meering.. Alone. He waved off the thought of meeting more than expected resistance. No one would steal this judgement and his opportunity to end Ichido. It would all end, today. Reaching the village gates, the guards approached him not knowing who he was yet but soon seeing his face, he was granted pass through the gates. The shinobi went through the gates and came out into the open world. He was beyond the village's perimeter now and all deaths would matter less even considering the fact that the ones he was about to kill where threats to the village because for all he knew, an unauthorized meeting in the country could be an invasion plan so he would take them all out for himself and for his village.

The senju brought out both hands from his pockets and straightened them behind him. He took his left leg backwards and leaned forward a bit. Without announcement, he took off at devastating speeds, causing pieces of leaves to take to the skies as he headed towards his target's location.

WC: 916

TIME: 9:00PM
LOCATION: THUNDER GROUNDS
With the rate at which he ran, it was almost as if he flew. It did not take long for him to arrive his destination, the thunder grounds of the land of lightening. One needed not ask how this area got it's name. It was an extremely dangerous area for even the strongest of ninjas if they were not careful. Ichido did have enough guts to attend a meeting in this location, Syn had to admit. A meeting in this location couldn't be one for discussing something good so Syn had every reason to crash their party.
He looked high above, the dark clouds covering the skies that even the light of the moon did not seem to penetrate through. The clouds rumbled lowly, a sort of warning to whoever was in the way as they announced the many lightening rods that resided within them. As he moved through the blades of grass on the earth, he saw the various holes and cracks within the grounds caused by the force of lightening strike but he did not waver in his resolution to pass judgement today. Harvest time was due and tonight he had taken on the role of the soul reaper, ready to harvest the soul of a certain man named Ichido for the crime that he had committed... Few of which are known.

Syn moved forward cautiously as quick flashes of thunder lightened up the skies every now and then but would immediately return the area into darkness. He was here and his mission would be accomplished no matter the odds. He filtered his mind trying not to let anything get in the way. He had shed his body of all mercy the moment he had left his home but certain emotions were about to prove stubborn. The images of how he had suffered at the hands of Zen and his master flashed through his mind attempting to anger him but the shinobi still kept his calm, dismissing the thoughts. He was in control of his mind, he would not be taken over by this hand. No, he would fight it. A man going to a fight angry had a fifty fity chance of winning or losing but he knew that in a calm state of mind, victory was inevitable. This is the path that he would tread, one of wisdom. He right hand moved behind him to feel the base of the demon's fang weapon that rested on his back. The weapon had tasted no blood since it had been given to him but this day, he promised the weapon would have it's full. Now was not the time to think of the many mysteries that was behind the scythe but once he was done with his work here, he would move on to unravelling this mysterious because he had always had that feeling.. These are no regular blades...

"Halt! Senju of the leaf, you seem far away from home..

A bolt of lightening struck the earth as Ichido's voice boomed all around the place. A soft chuckle followed suit as it grew into a loud and sinister laughter accompanied by more lightening strikes and thunder flashes. Syn kept his calm knowing that this was some kind of intimidation tactic and he would not fall for it, never. He was surprised though that the man was aware of his presence and he did not seem to see any reason as to how this was possible. Did he have some sort of sensory technique or something? Syn believed that he was supposed to crash a meeting, face some resistance and in the end, let Ichido's head roll on the floor. Things were different and he would have to adjust anyway.

"Did I interrupt your little meeting.. Memory thief.."
Syn would reply, appearing to be unimpressed by Ichido's actions. He would provoke the man until he revealed himself and if that did not happen, he knew he would complete this mission, one way or the other.
"By meeting.. You mean the one Zen told you about right? You little fool.. You haven't grown up, have you.. I do wonder why you were given the grace to return to the world of the living though. Damn surbordinate of the king of hell.. He chose to let the wrong person live..
You brat.. Zen tricked you into coming to me and you fell for it.. another sinister laugh following the man's utterances.

Syn was taken aback though he did not show it. Zen had tricked him? How was this possible. Zen was the one who gave him Ichido's location so that he would end the man's evil ways. According to Zen, Ichido had tried to kill him and he fled so what was Ichido talking about. The information was right, he had found Ichido and in this thunder grounds too. Perhaps this was all some sort of trick to get Syn to think that he was conered. If that was the case, Ichido had gotten it all wrong.
"Your dirty words have no effect on me Ichido and you will see in a brief moment how much I have grown, thanks to you. Zen has already met his end, at my hands. Before his death he told me where I would find you and I already have so prepare to answer to the wrath of my blade, Ichido.
Lightening struck once more as Ichido's laughter cackled all through the area. This would have intimidated someone else other than Syn. The shinobi stood his ground, this was his home and the elements of the land probably won't favour an outsider over him. Even though he had not been born or bred in this land, he had become a part of it. Risking his life for it, saving the land and its people from harm's way so the land could do as much as not fight against him.

"Stupid.. Stupid.. Stupid child.. You still don't understand, do you? Why would I want to kill Ichido, knowing fully well that he can stretch my life span whenever I want? Why would I want to throw away a very valuable asset.. A power under my very own control.. Why?
Syn did not have time for questions but he would give this man the satisfaction that he desired.
"...and why wouldn't you want to kill Ichido? He added fifty more years to your life span and knowing fully well that he alone knows the source of your power and that he might become a threat to you in the later future, you decided to eliminate him.

The world went silent and it was as if Syn's response had killed it. Just then, the familiar sinister laugh broke the silent and Ichido's voice reigned supreme.
"How stupid you are for not seeing what's happening Senju. You are no different from that weak boy that I captured few years ago. Strong headed and incapable.. Ichido's words sizzled off his skin like water drops on a burning surface.
"Zen had nightmares of you ending him and he knew that his death was inevitable.. Knowing this, we stayed one step ahead of you by spreading rumours of Zen's presence in Iwagakure. You took the bait and gave chase. True, you found him and he told you were to find me. This was all our plan to have you cornered and here you are, a small rat cornered to the wall and surrounded by cats.. Big ones..
The moment Ichido finished speaking, thunder flashed and all around him, shinobis started rising from the very earth he had been standing on all along. Each man with a weapon and they all seemed eager to pounce on what was in their center..
"Too bad you won't even get to see me one last time.. So DIE AGAIN SENJU!!" the words vanished as a lightening bolt came crashing down unto Syn's position.

WC:1340

THE LACKEYS
A swift dash to the left with flickering speed and he was out of harm's way as he heard Ichido muse lowly.
An army of about one hundred men stood all around him, each man eager to meet his own death. Ichido was wrong, absolutely uncorrect. He might believe that he has Syn where he wants him but it's the other way round. Be it a plan to get him or not, what mattered is that Ichido is here and he would suffer at the hands of this senju. This army of his was going to buy him time, time that would not be enough for him to escape Syn's wrath. In the meantime, he would play with this little ones while charging his adrenaline in the process. The jounin took everything into view and he could not say that he was at an advantage. The arena was just a plain level ground with blades of grass covering it. He had the earth as a vast resource, yes but there was no body of water or even wood in sight but that did not bother him. He had attained a stage in his training where he could summon forth water from the earth or even mokuton at that matter. He looked closely and each man had close to no armour at all, just several loose clothing and that made him wonder if these people thought that they were going farming or on a rabbit hunt. The weapons in their hands did not show any signs that they could do much danger to him as they ranged from bastard swords to katanas to axes, scythes and even staffs. This really was going to be interesting. The feeling was true.

Syn grabbed the base of his weapon but did not pull it just yet. Grabbing it alone made the army step one foot backwards and a smirk appeared on his face. He was glad that they weren't going to take him without fear in their minds. That was the main thing, instill the fear in them.. Just for the fun of it. The army was only about twenty meters away from him all around so he changed his mind and released the weapon's base, about to go for a more destructive appraoch so that they would marvel at the power that he wielded.

Ichido's voice mixed with the thunder strikes and lightening flashes as battle cries filled the area. Cries of battle that were soon quenched by a far more greater horror.
As the army approached with their pens and pencils, Syn stringed up few hand seals as he expelled mud like earth from his mouth. The substance solidified and came to life. Behold.. "DOTON: GOREMU NO JUTSU!..
The creature roared with all of it's ferocity as it slammed the earth with both hands causing a tremor that swept about a quarter of the army off of their feets. No need to stain his blades yet with the blood of unworthy men and so Syn hopped unto the head of the stone creature and watched it wreck havoc. The army refused to retreat and it appeared that their souls had been bought. Pawns would always be pawns, cute little lap dogs.
Their weapons were of no use against this monster. As it tore one soldier apart limb from limb, he squash another under the fool force of his foot.

As if that was not enough, Syn threw an explosive tagged shuriken at the rest of the soldiers before he brought his hands together to form the ram, rat, bird, boar and tiger hand seal. "SHURIKEN KAGE- BUSHIN NO JUTSU!".. As the shuriken replicated about a hundred times though only one of them was explosive, the original which was indistinguishable. The projectiles lodged themselves in the bodies of both the dead and alive men followed by the large boom from the explosive causing several men to try and pull off their burning clothings hurriedly while some others yelled bitterly due to burnt limbs and body parts. The sight was great to behold, revenge was indeed sweet when served last. In no time, a pile of bodies and a triumphant victor was the only thing visible on scene. This first part was cleared but he sensed more to come.

WC:724

THE RIGHT AND LEFT HAND MEN
SOZO AND ROKU

Yes, the adrenaline had pumped in. The green color of the blades of grasses that covered the thunder grounds had been corrupted by the crimson color of blood which had been spilled from the tens and hundreds of bodies that met their doom this night. It was such a pity that most of these men probably had wives and children but it was a fault on their own part for swearing their loyalty to a man such as Ichido. The sight was interesting to behold, hundreds dead and Syn did not even have to stain his blade. He felt the power surge within him and he almost felt like he was supreme. What if he was supreme, nobody would be wrong to call him that. This was an incredible feat but he knew he had faced worse odds so no need to be joyful yet, he knew more entertainment would come.

A lightening bolt struck again but Syn was quick to dismount from the stone golem and land gracefully as the golem was shattered to a thousand pieces.
"Well done Senju. You impress me. Filthy brat
"Show yourself Ichido and face me man to man.. Syn replied.
"Oh.. Taking down a few of my soldiers has given you the gut to want to face me? Such insolence. You have no idea who you are up against. Fighting a few men with little to no skill and blunt weapons has made you feel that you have gotten better? I refuse to believe that. You are no different from that weakling.. That boy that I captured and took advantage of.. thunder sparks following his voice and a loud sinister laugh.

Silence fell and an attack followed suit. In a ten meter radius, four earthen pillars erupted around him, each pillar charging with what happened to be raiton chakra. Seeing the danger that was about to befall him, he weaved three hand seals at maximum speeds as he slammed his palms on the earth below him and at blinding speeds, strong timbers arose from the earth and formed a dome around him. The attack came crashing down as several lightening bolts shot at their target destructively. This was Syn's first time of using this jutsu and he felt like the barrier would fall but luckily, it held. The attack seemed to have been completed as the pillars began to charge again but Syn was fast enough to bring down his barrier and escape the technique's range.

It was time for Syn to play hide and seek as well. He activated the ability of his camelio suit as he became invisible too. He calmed down and took a minute to think clearly. If Ichido was able to attack him with such a high level jutsu, then he was definitely not far away from where he was. He had to be nearby and the possibility was that he was cloaking himself with some sort of jutsu or even an armor like Syn was currently doing.
If that was the case, then there was only one way to find out. He had studied enough on the sharingan and now was the right time to know if what he had read about was true.
He moved his hand to the head band on his left eye and lifted the band to his head as the eye shone bright red and awoke to the world for the first time within Syn's body.


His right eye closed as the left one took over. The two tomeo sharingan scanned the area picking up few signals of chakra around. This was Syn's first time of using the eye and he knew that he had to adjust. It did not take long for him to be in full control of the eye as he spotted three different masses of chakra burning about thirty meters away. That had to be them. He was certain one of them was Ichido due to one of the chakra being more than the other two. He headed straight towards them still in his invisible mode and he halted about ten meters away from their location. He waited a bit but the people ahead did not seem to notice him. He continued with his analysis as he brought out a kunai and laced it with the the remaining explosive tag that he had. Launching the weapon at full speed, he watched it soar in the air but after crossing about seven meters, the tag exploded without hitting it's target. It appeared to have been blocked by some sort of barrier and now Syn could see the thin layer of chakra that acted as a barrier to cover the three people. Interesting. This was how Ichido remain invisible and could still attack him. Time for a suprise.

Syn brought his hands together and stringed together a number of hand seals as he slammed both palms on the ground. "Suiton: Suiryudan no jutsu | Doton: Doryudan no jutsu".. Water burst forth from the earth on his right and took the shape of a dragon as the mud rose from his left and took the shape of a dragon too. The water dragon crashed down on the barrier, weakning it as the earth dragon shot ten mud balls that brought down the barrier completely, revealing Ichido at the center and two others by his right and left. They looked perplexed, looking around them as to where Syn was. "Show yourself, coward!"
"Oh.. You call me a coward now? You started this game of hide and seek yet you are angry because I have found out your hiding place.. The real coward is you, Ichido and your time on this earth is almost up!.. Syn replied as he deactivated his suit's ability and became visible once again. His right eye had taken over now and his sharingan had been deactivated.

He looked clearly at the three men ten meters away from him. Ichido was clad in a black apparel with a hood. The man on his right was bulky and he had on a piece of metal armor that covered his chest and he had metal bracelets on too. In his right hand was a large war hammer and destruction was written all around it. The second man on his left wasn't muscle packed and by his waist lay a simple katana and he had no armor on. Syn did not trust this one, there was more to him than the eye could see. So now, these ones were more of resistances than Ichido's first line of defence. Another obstruction in his path but he did hope that they would entertain him well.

"You have provoked me enough Senju. Go! Sozo, Roku. Finish him!
Both men bowed as the one on the right formed few hand seals and slammed his palm on the ground. The earth between the three men rose to about five meters and spikes protuded from the surface as they launched themselves at Syn. Skillfully, the jounin evaded them but they were mere distractions. Sozo soared in the air as his big feet met the ground and his hammer connected with the earth, sending a destructive shock wave in Syn's direction. The earth split apart and various rocks were sent flying but Syn's speed got him out of harm's way. Sozo was strong but slow too.
SHIT! ANOTHER DISTRACTION!
Syn's eye widened as he did not see the second man, Roku beside Ichido anymore. He activated his Sharingan in time as he jabbed to the left to avoid a strike coming from above him. Roku was fast, faster than Syn but the Sharingan enabled Syn to react at a more faster pace. Roku attempted to get Syn's thigh but the jounin flipped backward while grabbing his scythe and flinging it straight at Roku.The man's weapon clashed with Syns' and sent it backwards as Syn tugged on the scythe's cable and had the weapon in his hand once again. "Surprised? Syn asked Roku with a smirk seeing the little reaction on the man's face as to how Syn had launched the weapon and retrieved it back again.

No time for talk. The Sharingan took over again, as Syn instantly manuevered around the charging bull and attempted to land a round house kick on Sozo's head with the baack of his right leg but the man blocked with the bracelet on his left hand and slammed into Syn with his war hammer. The jounin was sent flying backwards at amazing speeds as he dug the blades of his weapon into the ground, coming to a full stop. No time to rest. Syn spotted Roku coming forth as he slammed his palm on the earth.. "DOTON: DORYUHEKI!.. Instanteneously, a wall of earth rose before Syn. The wall had two purposes. One, to protect him from the man's attack and two to cut the man's sight. As the wall came up, a wooden clone came out of Syn's body and stayed in the jounin's place while Syn disappeared into the earth. Surprisingly, Roku coated his katana in flames and sliced clean through the wall. Roku put off his fire as he stabbed Syn's clone in the torrso. The clone held on to the blade as Roku pushed it in deeper, blood trickling down slowly. Suddenly, Syn's arm wrapped around Roku's legs and pulled the man into the earth leaving only his head above the ground.

Sozo was coming to Roku's aid but his speed was nothing to write about. The clone removed the sword from his torso and was still able to move for it was no ordinary clone.
Moving to meet Sozo head on as blood trickled from it's torso, Sozo raised up his hammer about five meters away ready to crush anything in his path. Probably another shock wave, the clone thought. Synchronizing thoughts with it's original, both the clone and Syn transformed their arms into large and sharp wooden branches. Timing it's counter, the clone entered range of Sozo's attack but having the greater speed, Sozo brought down his hammer but the clone side stepped and plunged both wooden branches into the man's heart as Syn did the same with the trapped man. Syn lifted the man from the earth with his wooden arm as he removed the arm and stabbed him in several other places while the clone did the same. Both men might have been strong but the heart was a vital organ and slowly, their breath ceased.. Blood flowing from various parts of their body.. Such good fighters.. Yet they died for an unworthy cause...

WC:1799

It all came down to this, a one on one fight. Many had started this battle but only two were left. The blood lust filled Syn and he glanced at where Ichido stood forty meters away on a man made hill about five meters tall. His hands reverted back from wood to normal flesh and his clone merged with the thousands of grass blades that covered the earth in this area. Filth and blood and filth and blood again was all that scented in this area. Blood stained everywhere and it appeared as if the night would not end. The wind howled softly as it coursed through Syn's air and his cloak billowing in it's direction. The moon light tried to fight it's way through the thick clouds like spectators fighting for the front line in a wrestling pit but no. This was no place for one as holy as the moon. Not even the white clouds could be found here. Both day and night, black and corrupt clouds where the only things that resided in these skies along with thunder bolts and lightening strikes. They dominated it all.

Incase there was any that would deem Syn's actions as ruthless and unfair, he would let them know of this very story, one of a young man that seeked nothing else but vengeance for his family.
It happened just a few years ago, the young senju had just been promoted to chunin. Restless about the injustice that had been done to his family, he requested permission from the Hokage so that he would travel to Kirigakure and train more on his suiton affinity. His request was granted and he made his way to this village. He was welcomed indeed and was given a tour of the village. The young man stayed for a few weeks and believing that he had learnt enough, he decided to travel to the earth country where he could train his doton element more. All in preparation for the fight against the one that took the life of his father, mother and sister. He made his way from kirigakure and was on the road to iwagakure when he was ambushed. All of a sudden, the earth spiralled over and he was trapped within the earth. Soon, the place was filled with a gaseous substance that caused him to lose all consciousness. The chunin woke up only to find himself strapped to an earthen table in the center of an underground abode. Those that had ambushed him appeared and they were two in number. Zen and his master Ichido. The plans that they had for him was one that would lead to death and they did not waste anytime in executing it. One by one, Zen ripped off his life force and transferred it to Ichido so as to extend the older man's life span. The ritual was soon concluded and he was dead. The two men exited the cave, leaving the young man's body to rot.

As fate would have it, an invisible chakra cocoon enveloped the young man and began rejuvenating him. Few hours later, the young man came back to life but as a different person. He was empty.. No memories of knowledge of most things. The young man fought against these odds and made something out of himself. In the end, he found himself in kumogakure. A village that accepted him and gave him a chance to become better. Regaining the memories of his past self, he sought out these offenders in a bid to sever all ties to his former life as the Raikage had requested. As a result, he began his hunt and Zen was the first to go down. Stabbing the man in various parts of his body, both vital and non- vital, Syn brought down a cave on him in the end. Now, it was Ichido's turn to receive his judgement and Syn would soon deliver it to him on a platter of wood.

Stringing few hand seals together, a large wooden dragon would burst forth from the earth causing a small crater from where it had come out from. Syn would mount this dragon and latch the demon's fang unto his back. Balancing on the dragon, one foot forward and the other backwards like the god that he is, the dragon charged forth at break neck speeds towards Ichido. Seeing Syn approach, Ichido raised his right hand to the sky as three lightening bolts headed in Syn's direction. The dragon was fast enough as it dodged the bolts and continued heading for it's target. About a meter to Inchido, Syn dismounted from the dragon and launched himself forward in the air towards Ichido.
Grabbing his scythe, he brought it down on Ichido with destructive force while his dragon stood on standby but the man quickly unsheated his own katana and blocked Syn's attack. The two weapons clashed and Syn applied more pressure.

"You have done enough harm to the world Ichido! It's high time you died! ..Syn said applying greater pressure and causing Ichido to crouch slowly under the force of his weapon.
"If I am to die, it won't be at your hands, senju brat!" .. With this, Ichido infused his blade with raiton chakra as the blade began to push Syn's own weapon backward and cutting it bit by bit. Seeing what was happening, Syn channeled his own chakra into his blade as he coated it so as to protect it from the damage that ichido's blade was about to do. Ichido then thrusted his right leg at Syn's torso causing the young man to jump backwards. Syn charged forth and swung his blade at the man's side but was once again blocked as he performed a flip and landed a kick on Ichido's face. The leg connected but Syn was stabbed in the side. Both parties suffered an attack but Syn's injury was more. His clone that had merged with the leaves and shrubs in the arena found it's way up the hill through several roots that were within the hill. The clone emerged from behind Ichido unknowningly as it attempted to stab the man's spine. Ichido was quick to spin around as he beheaded the clone who had already stabbed him in the side and not the spine.

"THIS RUBBISH HAS GONE ON ENOUGH! NOW FEEL MY POWER SENJU EVEN THOUGH YOU WONT LIVE TO TELL THE TALE!!! Ichido said with his sinister laughter following his voice. The man raised his hands to the sky as raiton chakra began converging above him and channeling through him. With his sharingan active Syn could see the massive amount of chakra that Ichido was gathering and this was of course going to be very disastrous. His body was fully covered in raiton now and as he opened his mouth to expel what seemed to be a laser of raiton chakra, Syn jumped off the hill and put his hand to his mouth as he expelled a jet of water straight at the man. The jet of water hit him and the mass of raiton chakra he was accumulating therefore elctrifying him and roasting his flesh in the process.

Falling from the top of the hill, his dragon caught him safely as he headed up the hill again. Ichido had fallen to his knees and the smell of burnt flesh had filled the atmosphere. He had facilitated his own death, accumulating that much of raiton chakra. He was probably thinking of obiliterating Syn and truth be told, if that attack had hit Syn he would cease to exist. The dragon lowered Syn unto the hill as he dismounted. He walked over to Ichido's half lifeless body and raised up his head with the tip of his scythe. The man's face had been badly burnt and there was nothing more left for him on this earth. This was the end for him and he would have to accept it. With a quick swing, Ichido's head came rolling at Syn's feet and he stopped it by placing his right foot on it.
He picked up the head and mounted his dragon once more as he rode towards the village. He dropped the offender's head on the fields for the vultures to feast on.
All ties to his past life had been servered...
Or so he thought...
For the only two that he knew were aware of who he was are now dead.. By his cold blade..
