Sero had packed yet again for another trip out of Konoha. he moves with purpose now as he contemplates the new move and what it entailed. His theory made sense but practicing based on theory could be fatal. this time he had packed his coat and was prepared to practice as neccisary but further away now. Last time his moves had been to, noticeable. His boots carry him out of the forest to an empty beach near the docks. the frothing water sliding up and down the sand and a rock wall behind it cutting off sight from all around. perfect for training a secret couple of moves.

Sero moves down the rock face with ease as feet move out and slide along the best footing on the way down. occasionally he would jump to the another rock and then back again on the way down for better balance but other then that he was doing just fine. his response time was getting better and when he gets near the beach itself he launches from the rock and lands in a crouch on the sand with perfection.

Slowly he straightens as only now did he see it. A camp site hidden under the rock face. A ship had wrecked here and he recognized the flag. One of the pirate ships from Kiri. how fascinating. they must have moved looking for other prey. He highly doubted they would be looking forward to seeing a kiri nin. He stands there a moment before they appear to notice him and he feels his heart grow cold. Pirates. the filth that tainted his home before. A waste of space.

He saw them mobilizing now from what was undoubtably a drunken party of some sort of recent looting. he began to count as they moved. eight of them in total. 5 where moving and three stayed with the wreckage. the ones running towards him seemed like insects to him and so he would crush them as such. rusty swords where drawn as the group approached they’re eyes going wide as they saw his Kiri head band. It was time to show them the Strength of kiri was still there. He moves forward and decides to clash with them head on completely unarmed. His new technique his goal here.

The first to arrive meets with him at high speeds and tries to bring up his sword to block. Sero slips past him and comes to an abrupt stop right behind him staring at the others with cold eyes as the one he passed stares forward before looking for him. the others hesitate at the show of speed and then Sero reacts. His blood flowing like the boiling heat his clan was famous for. His right foot lifts and then he kicks backwards Knocking his opponents knee forward. As his Opponent fell He circles his foot kicking up sand into the eyes of the other four. ending with his foot in the throat of the first collapsing it and slamming the man down to break the neck.

The other four Where blinded now as he moved and He decided now was the most opportune time to try it. He Moves to the left of the group with all his speed and pauses Focusing steam behind his heal where the boot covered it he concentrates and sends down both elements of chakra in a mixture. they combined at the spot he wanted them to as he lifts his leg for as strong a kick as he could and then it went off. A loud bang and the he was moving far faster then before kicking in the right arm of his opponent he had just enough time to brace himself before it hit. Even he felt some pain from it but the reaction was satisfactory.

The blow was hard enough to Send the one he hit flying as a crumpled heap of broken bones into the others and knock them all down. That one was dead. He would have to be cautious about using the move at his new rank. He was more powerful then before. The training he had been doing was beginning to show. He moves past one of the corpses to the others remaining plucking up a broken rusty swords from on of the corpses hands as his opponent where laying on the ground He idly slashes the throat of one of the people with an awkward slash. The blade getting stuck in the Spine. He frowns and releases the blade in the mans throat and shakes his head. useless scrap metal.

He moves forward as one rises to run away he smiles coldly the other one was barely rising. He steps on the one just now risings back slamming him back down while placing his hands in his pockets his eyes watching the other one run. He drops off the mans back his feet landing on either side of his head. He then twist his feet violently and snaps his neck. The other was maybe halfway to the ship now. Might as well stop him.

Sero moves rapidly above right before the man looks back and notices no one was there.. He slowly a moment looking around wildly before the silent Sero lands in his path a cold smile of a tall man standing there with his hands in his pockets. He raises his boot yet again and turns doing a spinning kick right as the man turns around to the sound of a bang!. Steam burst yet again from the top of his boot into the mans nose shoving it into his brain with a splurt of blood. He then turns to the others there and smiles coldly. Three left. And by the look of them officers. Goody.

Spoiler:

Sero moves up the beach as now only three targets remained. the scum of the ocean. He watches them coldly as he can now see them clearly. A bulky bearded man wearing a captains hat and two thin looking girls. it was the expression on the captains face that confused him. it looked pleased while the other two... sisters perhaps looked upon him with utter un concealed rage. The two girls moves to the railing and launch off moving alarmingly fast. one wielding a hammer and the other wielding two swords.

He expected they where trained in combo attacks in the way they moved at him in separate directions allowing for them to avoid getting blasted by a single jutsu. he moves with them while performing hand seals in his pockets for his newest technique. he needed to consider his options here. While he had some power to the jutsu he doubted it had enough power to deflect the two handed hammer so he would concentrate on her. Swords normally included just stabbing or slashing and relied on the wielder. He turns his back to the sword wielder to throw a hand full of sand at the hammer girl. The hammer girl swings her Hammer down smashing the sandy beach kicking up a cloud of sand.

He felt the presence of the swords girl behind him and turned his head to smile at her and wave bye bye before his jutsu went off. Right in the rage filled face of the girl the perimeter was breached. Her face contorts into shock as the air lights up and then Fire burst activates. A boom and a scream and the sword Girl goes flying back skidding across the sand. Leaving one sword behind as she lays on the beach a ways away twitching on the ground. effectively painful at least. The pure killing intent in front of him was all that helped him dodge.

The hammer girl was berserking. She kept coming at him with killing intent swinging her hammer with a madness unbecoming of a lady. But already he could tell the heavy swings where taking they’re toll. he begins to move in opposite directions to make her stop her swings and swing in opposite directions. proving to tire her out faster.

He smiles as he moves back to the spot where he had taken down her sister and picks up the sword. it felt awkward but it would due. The girl pursued him as he jumped backwards across the beach. She was sweating and heaving for air. it was time to make his move. He waits until she chases him with a sideways swing and ducks under it. taking the blade in his hand he stabs down wards through her foot pinning her foot to the ground. listening to her scream of pain he performs the hand seals yet again .

He moves up next to her as She bends to grip her sisters sword and he reaches out his right hand. Gripping her by the throat. The perimeter was breached and where he gripped her neck lit up with a bang. Her body jolting as her scream turns into a gurgle. He twists his hand and snaps the neck to cut off the rest of the noise watching the eyes glass over.

He turns then and picks up the hammer. it was heavy but a well made weapon. The scream of rage down the beach makes him look up with the cold gaze he usually had. his expressionless face watching the sister pick herself up off the ground with burns on her face. and come charging at him in a half dead rage. He wasnt so into killing siblings but hey. Him or her. So he hoists the hammer up aiming it as she runs while concentrating steam burst on the back of the hammer. He watches the girl jump and launches it at her. The girl begins to spin to get out of the way but he releases steam burst with a snap of his fingers. A bang sounds and the hammer begins to spin violently clocking the girl in the side and sending her crashing down into the beach with a cry of pain.

Sero moves up behind her quietly as she lays on the beach coughing up blood weakly. It was kind of interesting to just watch someone die. He reaches down though and takes her sword from her hand and his fingers grip her shoulder turning her onto her back.. her ribs where crushed and a lung was punctured. Sad really. a waste of untrained talent. he takes the sword and slips it into her heart finishing her off before rising.

The crew was dead. His grey eyes look to the captain now. A 1 on 1 fight. and then it was done.
