Why did things have to go so badly within ninja villages? Coup’s, attacks, politics teetering on the edge of a Civil War. Couldn’t it just be peaceful, for two seconds? Minato needed a little time to breathe, after all. But it wasn’t, it never was and, instead of relaxing, he was now surrounded. Surrounded by a couple dozen men clad in armour.
Minato sat atop the wooden staircase, his arms crossed as he stared out at the village. It looked so peaceful, but that was just a guise. A mask that was hiding what was happening behind closed doors. Minato sighed as his legs dangled from the platform, his companion standing behind him, deep in thought.
‘We could start with that lady from the Makhel Family.’ Kakashi suggested, Minato had been thinking that very same thing himself. ‘After all, she was the one who pointed us towards Galan in the first place.’ He concluded. Minato nodded in agreement with his former student’s conclusions. Minato lifted himself from his sitting position, standing next to his silver haired friend as they both looked out over the village.
‘Alright Kakashi, let’s...’ Minato began as he turned to face his partner. As he spoke the sounds of an explosion and screaming cut him off. His head swivelled on the spot, smoke and flames had engulfed a building, and he could see the silhouettes of the villagers running around the streets. The two glanced at each other, exchanging the same look, before leaping from the platform and onto the roof top of a building below them.
First a coup, and now they are being attacked? Could things get any worse? Minato and Kakashi dashed from roof to roof, hastening towards the blaze.
‘Minato, could this be related to the coup?’ Kakashi questioned as the two dropped down into the streets and sprinted towards the blaze. Minato took a second to think before pulling one of his kunai from the pouch on his backside. ‘If it is, then we better be prepared.’ the golden haired shinobi replied.
The inferno had engulfed multiple buildings by the time Minato and Kakashi arrived. A few minutes and this much damage had already been caused. If this was part of the coup, then it needed to be stopped, and quickly. The ninja duo sat on a roof top, looking down at a group of small, red, winged, creatures. They hadn’t noticed the duo yet, but it wouldn’t be long.
The duo sat, perched, above a group of six of them, it seemed as if that’s all there was. Such a small group to cause this much damage. Minato glanced over at Kakashi, who returned his glance with a nod. The senior shinobi pulled a second kunai from his pouch, readying himself as he prepared to drop down on top of the unsuspecting group of creatures.
They began moving, it looked almost like they were hopping, towards the building that Minato and Kakashi were perched on. Small balls of fire appeared in their hands, illuminating the rest of their bodies, as they neared the building. Minato dropped from the roof, landing in front of the front two creatures, embedding his kunai into the tops of their skulls. The other devilish looking things mumbled some sort of high pitched words before turning their attention to the blonde. He dashed forward, striking a third one as the other three dropped to the ground, shuriken sticking out of their skulls.
The blonde retrieved his kunai from the small beings as his companion dropped from the roof and proceeded to examine the bodies. They were small, some would say impish, and they looked like tiny little demons.
‘It’s hard to believe these little things did so much damage.’ The silver haired ninja spoke as he poked, cautiously, at one of the tiny, lifeless, bodies.
‘Yeah, but it could have been a lot worse.’ The yellow haired man nodded as his ears picked up a faint whistling sound.
Minato spun around, lifting his kunai up to defend his face as an arrow struck it. The steel arrow head scraped down the blade, deflecting away from the duo and into the ground. A man, clad in armor standing atop one of the buildings behind them laughed. A deep, coarse laughter filled the area around them as more and more of these men piled into the streets, surrounding the lone pair. Their their skin grey, their face tattooed with red markings, and horns protruding from the top of their skull.
Things had just gotten worse.
