The jonin looking at Hiruko and the others couldn't help but laugh.
"The three of us against these brats is kind of unfair." The sand ninja in the middle said sadistically. He wore a blue full-body ninja uniform with a light brown combat vest that matched his hair. Sitting upon his face were square-shaped black glasses, and a red circle sat upon either cheek.
"I really don't like killing kids; they look my daughter's age," the slender man to the right said, his hair a dark green, and he wore the same uniform as the one in the middle.
"Snap out of it, Kyouske. We have a job to do, and Ichi, I wouldn't underestimate them. Not only are they the Hokage's students, but he felt safe leaving them to face us." The man to the left said he was a tall and buff man who was bald and wore the same attire as the other three.
"Shut up, Youske, there are children, plain and simple. I doubt they could do much damage. I got this! " Ichi said arrogantly as he charged in toward Jiraiya, one hand drawing the sword strapped to his back, the other making hand signs.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sword," Ichi said, reaching Jiraiya, who couldn't react in a matter of moments.
"Die, Kid." Ichi said venomously as he swung at a distraught Jiraiya, who could only close his eyes in fear.
However, the pain of death never came, opening his eyes. Jiraiya saw the Jonin suddenly experience a strong force and being flung back.
"Hiruko—" Jiraiya said, glancing at Hiruko beside him, who had his hand outstretched.
Hiruko, ignoring Jiraiya, provided his own warning: "Stay back, you three," Hiruko said, drawing Miyuki.
Ichi, however, landed squarely on his feet back beside his teammates.
"What was that?" Ichi said, irritated.
"Maybe a kekkei genkai. What do you think, Kyouske?" Youske said his eyes narrowed at the white-haired boy.
"It's possible, though it doesn't match any known ones." Kyouske said, sighing slightly, at first he'd hoped they could spare the kid's death and take them back to ransom with Konohgakure, but now that one had an unknown Kekkei Genkai, it was his job to kill him before he could grow.
His thoughts wandered to his own daughter as he internally apologized to the kid. 'Sorry, but if it means making this world a little bit safer for my daughter, then you'll have to go, child.' Kyouske thought
Ichi, hearing his comrades banter, got angrier. 'This brat has some unknown kekkei genkai that makes me want to kill him even more.'
"Stay out of this, you two; let me handle him." Ichi said with a perverted smile, immediately charging back in.
As he closed in, both shinobi's swords met. From this single exchange, Ichi came to the horrifying conclusion that Hiruko's strength was just as much as his.
'Now you really have to go.' Ichi thought as he made more hand signs.
Wind Release: Great breakthrough
Ichi, completing the hand signs, sucked in before releasing a strong wind at Hiruko.
Hiruko, having nowhere to dodge, planted his feet into the ground to take the jutsu head-on as the wind caused scrapes to appear all over his body.
Hiruko, however, maintaining his position, increased his kg to 300 and added Chakra-enhanced strength on top of it before waiting for the wind to die down before yanking his foot out of the ground and kicking Ichi in the abdomen, which sent him flying.
Unfortunately, Ichi reacting reinforced his body with chakra, though he was still blasted a couple of meters away.
Ichi, sitting up, spit out a mouthful of blood before thinking, 'Damn, it feels as if I'm fighting those damn Alkemici fatties.'
Standing up, Ichi glared at Hiruko, whose cuts and scratches were already healing, but as he was glaring, he suddenly felt a dark pressure behind him as if a snake was wrapping its body around him.
Looking over his shoulder in fear, Ichi was met with Orochimaru's cold, snake-like eyes, and an kunai rested itself around his throat.
"I know it was you who hurt my Hiruko. How dare you? He's mine, mine. I should dissect you limb from limb for what you did." Orochimaru said coldly, his bloodlust radiating as he plunged his kunai into the neck of Ichi.
Ichi was brought from his thoughts due to the pain and immediately threw Orochimaru from his back into the trees behind him. As he held his bleeding neck that was gushing blood
Orochimaru, being sent flying into a tree, slowly got up, a smirk on his face, as he brought the bloodied kunai to his tongue as he licked the blood eerily.
'Go, Hiruko,' Orochimaru thought.
On the other side, Hiruko, taking advantage of Ichi's distraction, quickly boosted his kg to 500 and, using Chakra-enhanced strength, rushed toward him, extending one finger.
Ichi, sensing a presence behind him, turned to see Hiruko, who was quickly closing in. Making an attempt to dodge, Ichi was met by a restricting pressure, not enough to stop him from moving but enough to slow him down.
Hiruko, seeing this, ignored the blood dripping down his nose and the pounding in his head, but before he could kill Ichii, a big hand wrapped around his slender one, stopping Hiruko in his tracks.
The force from his finger gun dispersed outward as Ichi fell to the ground in fear and residual pressure; he knew he was close to death.
"Kid, here's an important lesson: it doesn't matter how strong you are if you don't hit our target." The man who grabbed his arm said, his voice deep as Hiruko struggled to free himself from the man's grasp.
Yousuke brought his other hand back and cast a seal-less jutsu as he mumbled, "Wind Release: Wind Cutter technique."
Creating a large gash on Hiruko's chest and causing him to cough blood. But Yosuke still did not let go and cast the same Jutsu again as he mumbled once more, "Wind Release: Wind Cutter technique."
This time the stronger Jutsu blasted Hiruko back toward the rest of the group as more blood pooled out.
Yousuke, looking at Hiruko, thought internally, 'That kid's tough; he should've been cut in half.'
Tsunade running to Hiruko, who was struggling to stay conscious with his battered body
"Hiruko, heal yourself," Tsunade said worried as tears streamed down her face.
Hiruko, mumbling as he tried to push himself up, replied, "I can't; if I do, I'll pass out, and then we're all dead."
"Now run away, Tsuna; I'll cover your escape. I would hate if my one and only sister were to die. If you can find Orochimaru and heal him, he can ensure your escape and that idiot's too, I guess," Hiruko said, smiling slightly as he pushed himself up, grabbing Miyuki, who lay on the ground.
"You idiot, you think I want my only brother to die? How will I be able to look myself or my future patients in the eye if I couldn't even heal one of the people closest to me?" Tsunade said as tears streamed down.
"Look, I'm sorry to interrupt your little moment, but it's time to end this," Yousuke said as he walked over. Hiruko, seeing this, took a defensive stance in front of Tsunade.
Tsunade, still crying, looked up at Hiruko, who was trying to protect her, and decided what she had to do.
When her grandfather was still alive as the God of Shinnobi, he had her sign a contract behind her grandmother's and parents' backs and told her.
"This is a summoning technique, and it's dangerous, especially if you don't have the right reserves, so only use it when needed, though as long as your grandpa's here, you won't need to." "Hashirama told her, smiling as he pinched her cheek.
As Tsunade's eyes once again landed on Hiruko, who was protecting her, she thought, 'You're not the only one who can risk your life.'
