The Shinobi With The Straw Hat

"Shit! That fucking smell, it won't leave my nose." a patrol of Iwa shinobi were stroling around. Only that something unusual picked their interest, it was the strong smell of blood.     

"The only time I smelled such strong scent of blood was when we first invaded The Land of Grass. It means that somewhere here, a lot of corpses lie dead." fresh corpses mean fresh battle. The patrol became wary of their surroundings and walked closer to where the scent was became stronger.     

A view of horror welcomed them with open arms. At least one hundred corpses lied there on the bloody grass. Crows feasted on the dead, cawing with joy. The precence of the patrol did not seem to bother them.     

"This battle didn't even last that long. Only a formidable foe would have been capable of doing something like that." the patrol noticed how every corpse lied on top or next to each other. This showed that they nearly didn't move from their positions.     

The patrol took a closer look at the corpses and quickly discovered what clan they were from. To see the famous Kamizuru clan in such a state truly pained them.     

"I guess no matter how strong and famous you are, there will always be someone stronger than you. It seems the Kamizuru found their match." the leader of the patrol gulped. He didn't feel safe here.     

"Find Lord Kamizuru! There might be a slight chance that he's still alive!" the patrol leader believed in miracles, so he hoped of finding Daitan wounded but still alive. Only that this miracle would never happen.     

"He's dead.....patrol leader, Lord Kamizuru is dead." a shinobi stood beside a corpse who's chest was sliced open. Dryed blood all over his Iwa top whom he wore proudly, his eyes now lifeless towards the sky.     

"The Tsuchikage will be furious. Lord Kamizuru is his father-in-law after all. We better report our findings." the patrol proceeded to write everything down and sent an eagle towards the main camp.     

The eagle flew away rapidly. The warm breeze and the sunset made everything appeasing for but a moment in this period of turmoil. It soon reached the main camp and Mū's shoulder.     

"It cannot be. Lord Kamizuru.....KONOHA BASTARDS." Mū's eyes turned bloodshot. This news truly broke his heart. The clan that had saved him from death when younger and treated him like their own, they had been killed like fodder.     

"Prepare for battle! We have been too nice, it's time for us to annihilate Konoha once and for all!" this sudden agitation took the main camp by surprise. Mū was always a low profile individual it was not common for him to be taken by rage.     

"What are all of you looking at! Do what I order you to do! Prepare for battle! Sharpen your swords, prepare your minds!" the Shinobi looked up in the air. A majestic figure was hovering in the air, he was the most respected man in Iwa.     

"Mū! Calm yourself. Tell me what's wrong." the voice carried an immense authority. Mū knew that it was Kentaro, he did his best to calm his raging heart. He turned around and looked up.     

"They're dead, they're all dead. The Amburame fucking killed all of them! I'm gonna slaughter each one of them!" Kentaro's heart shuddered. He had to accept the reality. He slowly landed next to Mū and took him in his embrace.     

"Little Mū, I know how much they meant for you. We will have our revenge....but not now. Let not rage take over your mind, control it like I'm doing it myself." it took a few minutes for Mū to do what he was asked.     

The Shinobi who were around looked at the scene in silence. Many proved simpathy others were indifferent, death was common so it was imperative to get quickly over it. Otherwise it could hinder your warrior mind.     

"How did you learn of their deaths? Did you see their bodies with your own two eyes?" Mū shook his head and showed the message to Kentaro.     

"A patrol gave me the information and the location of the corpses. If you wish to go then go, but I prefer not to see their dead bodies. I believe you can understand." Kentaro nodded and turned to the Shinobi.     

"I need three hundred men to follow me. Our brethren died on the battlefield against an incredible foe, I don't know who's the one behind all of that but togheter we'll find out." many volunteered, like that three hundred men were gathered.     

Under Kentaro's lead, the men followed behind him. Sure enough, the heavy stench of blood invaded their nostrils. They met with the dead corpses who slowly started to decompose.     

"We shall carry the corpses back to Iwa and give them a proper burial. Always honor those who have succumbed in battle." All of them carried at least one corpse. Kentaro's eyes fell on footprints, they were the footprints of four different people leading to the opposite way from which the Amburame and Senju left the site.     

"Begin to travel towards Iwa, I will join quickly after I check something." they all follow Kentaro's order and made their way towards Iwa.     

"Let's see who those footprints belong to." As for Kentaro, he flew towards where the footprints were leading. He already had an idea and if it was who he thought, then he might find out who the third party involved was.     

"So I was right. My instincts never dissapoint me. I'm not angry that you have retreated and fled combat, I'm happy. Now tell me who massacred the rest of the clan." the four remaining Kamizuru went on their knees and did not dare to look into Kentaro's eyes.     

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage! We shall tell you everything!"
