The stench of death filled the battlefield, rinshi brawled with whatever was in his way and Tsuneo had to take care of this leader of theirs that seems to be enjoying his misty hideout, and once again, chisaki would assume she killed him and underestimate the leader CHOSEN by non other than the big douche seven bells, Tsuneo would find himself incapable of remaining in one place as he kept moving from place to place, where chisaki thought her mission was over, and went to the boat, how ignorant that was indeed, he looked around for clues to how he should catch his enemy off guard, Tsuneo would only be left bewildered more by the mist, but soon after, he would feel the presence of another person appear behind him, and it was the man him directing a strike with his blade towards Tsuneo, as Tsuneo turned to the man he would jump back a few meters which had him land on his toes, only to return running to the man before he disappears again in this heavy sticky mist.
Flashback~
"Have you heard Tsuneo?" a pause would create a small space for silence only for his best friend to continue later on"The village of kirigakure has a traditional technique, mhm, it seems that they can envelop a large area in mist, so that they can disappear in, supposedly you should close your eyes when so happens and listen carefully to their steps, wind can also lift the mist"
and so the last time they spoke flashed in his head:
"Tsuneo....please...make this world.. a better one, a one without pain, sadness, or despair "
Flashback End~~
He'd closed his ghastly eyes as he begins to hear even the slightest breeze pulling itself by his side, as he begins feeling the steps of all those that are around him, he would look around with his ears!!.
He'd feel the slightest touch of the steps around him, his ears would twitch upon the sound of a step that came from a two, thirty o'clock side, and it was none other than his beloved target, he would turn around, 'feeling' the distance between the two of them, Tsuneo rotation, led him to his attack, he would kick the man at his private place, only to gain more time to seal a jutsu on the skin of his stomach, he would place a Katon technique which he released as he chained the enemy of his, giving him second degree burns. Tsuneo would then jump away for about six meters only to feel his opponent's steps take distance as well.
Tsuneo started controlling the chaotic chakra that began forming in his system as it took the forms of his two elements, lightning, and fire, he would then create three bolts of thunder connected to his hands by thin chakra streams, Tsuneo would await the right moment to strike his wretched target, and so that moment came along as he felt the steps of his target approach the range he needed him to be in, Tsuneo directed one of the bolts throwing it towards him, but unfortunately he would dodge in a flash despite it's speed, Tsuneo would throw the second one but no ray of hope did it hold, thus, his opponent succeeded in dodging two of his attacks, and being down to the last bolt, Tsuneo would run towards his opponent and with his left hand he would create a spear of sealing symbols that was thrown at the target who took off in the air with a jump, only to appear behind him, but as the target looked down, he would find the last bolt of raiton exactly below him, the man had no way of escaping and so he landed on the bolt as it exploded into flames that wrapped it's victim destroying him, leaving him with third degree worth of burns.
Tsuneo would finally open his eyes only to see that his vision has returned, did this mark his death, tsuneo turned around only to find he was still alive and kicking, supposedly this healer of his had come to assist, Tsuneo would truly be hindered by that, and soon he let his last chain chain the man healer before it's too late only to run towards them and break their neck his dear target however, was stunned, and there it was, the final moment, he surely never knew this would leave him incapable of any movement.
Tsuneo took a little time to say his words to the man: "wouldn't it have been better to avoid this and live like a normal person, do not use pain as an excuse, I lost everyone that I loved, and still, I..." he never knew what to say afterwards, after all, they are on the same path, regardless of their reasons, they are both, criminals, and they are both, murderers.
The man would shed a tear as he barely spoke "Please....kill me, end my suffering.....let me rest in peace in the other world, I beg of you, end war, end hatred...what's your name.... kid" tsuneo would shed his tears as well "The name's tsuneo" the man would soon reply to Tsuneo "Tsuneo the savior, I will make sure to remember.....please...I lost my family, my children and wife, my parents and relatives, and I was led to this path o destruction, please!!! END WAR" The man screamed his last words at the top off his lungs signaling for tsuneo that now, is the time to land your blow, let him rest in peace....why not, we all deserve it "I PROMISE YOU THUS." He yelled as he dealt the finaly blow to his heart with his own blade, severing his thread of existence.
And that was the end of this charade this butchery, Tsuneo carried the man's cold dead corpse to the ocean as he let it sink, and it seems that the men, his followers, are drowning in tears of their own, apparently this man was loved by his soldiers. They all fell to their knees, they all felt the pain of a loss, the loss of a leader, they gave up, the mission was a success, and thus, Tsuneo left the area back to report as he had his head lowered. As he was running his eyes would shine bright red as he spoke:
"This rage...This anger, This anxiety, everything that this heart of mine feels, everything negative, will be lashing out on you, seven bells, you rob people of their lives, create war, create sadness, I Hate you, I will Kill you, I'll AVENGE THE PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM THIS WRETCHED WAR" and there he stood looking down at a post of bells with eyes burning with anger, his blood started boiling his body started twitching, his rage began taking over him, he wanted to kill the bastard so bad, he wanted to kill him no matter the risk, he would not surrender unless he had dealt the bastard the finishing blow, Tsuneo's rage was one worthy of praise as a fearsome one, even if his head is ripped off, he'll bite him to death, if he'd die, he'd curse him to death. Tsuneo never felt so angry, no words would describe his anger, he spoke in a sharp tone "wait for me, you son. Of. A. Bitch!!"
As he reached the location of the new branch, he would give his full report, and head back to his original branch, after an hour or so of traveling to its location, tsuneo would arrive safely with no one intervening in his small journey, and as he was there he would ignore everyone and head back to his tent where he lied down to sleep, but a book he had bought earlier kept him awake. The book had an interesting text, which had Tsuneo read more:
“People should either be caressed or crushed. If you do them minor damage they will get their revenge; but if you cripple them there is nothing they can do. If you need to injure someone, do it in such a way that you do not have to fear their vengeance.”
Another sentence followed the script followed by a third party in the story:
“I only suggest to you: Will you dwell on killing this man? You wish for revenge? If you do, he has already killed you by slow poison. So, let it go. Why waste your time? His life will see to his death.”
--------------
It was obvious this was a mere message from fate, and god, or perhaps Tsuneo would like to think so, Fate wanted nothing but screwing Tsuneo over, while god was surely on this poor child of the world's side. And it was obvious who said what, and what must be done, regardless of the reason, seven bells's death is a must, peace can never triumph with a scum bag greedy bastard such as that motherfucker.
The chef lady came into the tent only to speak her few words "Izuna...the world is harsh dear, there's nothing you can do to deny that, no one can. But hope exists because of it, and since the day you came, I knew you would change this world, whether for the better or the worse I can't really tell, but please remember dear, we all love you and support you, because you're our friend, and I will for sure never stop cooking you, your favorite meals...just be strong and never give in, I know you can do it"
Tsuneo smiled as a tear of happiness rolled down his cheek, although, no reply or any simple movement was made by him, he acted as if asleep, but he sure heard it all, as the woman turned away on the exit of the small tent taking the very first step, he'd say "Thank you~" a gentle whispering tone that hummed through her ears, the lady would wear the smile of a gentle mother as she left. Tsuneo sure did make some great friends in here, and he would surely protect them.
And thus, the day ended, Tsuneo returned after succeeding in his mission, perhaps it was time for him to train a little bit, but for now, he prefers closing his weary eyes, and falling asleep.
