Apocalypse Now (Flashback Mission)

Spoiler:

Naomi had a mission slide across in front of her, upon opening the folder and reading the situation, she would nod in acceptance and headed out, however there was something nagging in the back of her mind, she was sure she could take them all out, however she needed someone to help ensure no one escaped.

She walked around the village thinking of the different ninja she had met in one way or another, or had read on, being apart of the Anbu had its Advantages, but it was difficult at time, she walked into the closest tavern, and ordered herself some Saki while she gave the options thought, meanwhile she was also listening to the crowd for any hints as to what she was looking for.

He had been ordered to meet a lady at the bar for the first mission of his since he got Samehada. This was fine, though he never usually went to bars. He went to home and ate and drank there and had just a wonderful time slicing up dummies. Sure, he had a stupid style of clothing on. This time, a long-sleeved shirt; brown with black-striped pants. He wasn't told why or who, just her physical details.

This wasn't his usual thing, but it was no matter. Normally, he was told to meet them elsewhere, but again, it was fine. He didn't suppose that the mission was too difficult if he were to go with one other. He was also told to wait until he was picked up on.

Of course, he had Samehada on his back. He had to. It made him stand out. He ordered some water while he was at the bar, and would drink it once it arrived.

Naomi had her Sake, and her jacket was unzipped, her mask was not on right now, but she still had a wrap on that covered the vital parts , she looked around the bar at that moment and noticed a man with a sword, a rather large one at that, and wondered if he knew how to use it.

She would go strolling over and plop down next to him, her green eyes staring at him, and yellow hair just resting on her shoulders and down her back, she was in no way inebriated, just she acted like she owned things, because not many people could do anything about it.

Naomi would tilt her head a little at the man and nod to the sword on his back "Do ya know how to even use that thing, or is it for show" she questioned, and was being rather serious about it, she waited for an answer however before speaking further.

"I do. I am Chiruto, and I am the wielder of the legendary blade Samehada."

He spoke plainly, as he often did. As he turned and looked at the rather lacking clothing of who was supposed to be his teammate, he was oddly reminded of a certain level of overconfidence. However, this lady hadn't slipped up and proved to be a possible obstacle quite yet.  He was a very nice man, yes. However, he had also faced the truth a long time before. He can't just go around not killing people. He would, however, try to avoid it whenever possible.

"I am a master swordsman, who's almost unmatched."

This claim was not a false one. He was not overconfident. He was just confident enough in his abilities. That was sort of a face for him. There's no other reason he'd be chosen for his position. It was a minor bother to him, sure. It made some look at him different, which bothered him in particular. That was no matter. That was just a simple 'it happens' in the case of the ninja world.

He did feel a sense of pride that he perpetually repressed it, though.

She smirked softly at him as he said that he was almost unmatched and then she would crinkle her nose and spoke softly to him saying "Prove it" at that moment she placed her hands on the table and gently pushed herself up from the table and started heading towards the door. Now mind you she had not forgotten the reason for being at this very location, she needed to find her partner, which she was sure was this man. However she also needed information on the missing weapon and were to find it, and she was sure someone was here that could help her.

Once she got to the door she turned around and tilted her head, waiting and watching, seeing if not only the swordsman did anything, but if anyone else did too, she listened for even a whisper to see if anyone could be someone of help as to the location of the weapon.

"Look. It's a rather simple manner."

He took a deep sigh, and took Samehada from his back. This was a headache. He had to prove himself to the lady. That wasn't what he wanted to do, but for a proper partnership to happen, it had to be done. He questioned best how to do it. He could cut the clothing, but what's the point in that? He also had to convserve his chakra for the later fight that was almost undoubtedly going to happen. This was just how things were. A lot of mist ninja wanted people to prove their strength, so he decided on how to do so.

He'd hit max speed a mere half-second after launching himself forward, and as he'd reach the woman, he'd jab the blade forward. He'd intentionally miss her head by centimeters, but this was merely to prove that he was a good swordsman that was nearly unmatched. He was also immensely fast, and immensely strong. It's how he managed to get to where he is.

His new lady partner didn't seem to believe him though. It's just like he couldn't believe how little she was wearing.

Naomi was watching when the man charged forward, the sudden speed he produced was incredible, but not enough to catch Naomi completely off guard, she simply smirked and then shrugged "Just means you are quick to finish huh" she would then back out of the bar. Then she would turn around after leaving and look around huffing she did not find what she was looking for in there, at least about the weapon anyways.

Naomi would turn back around hopefully to see the man having followed, and if so she would ask him "How good are your tracking skills, cause honestly there is something we need done sooner rather than later" now she would await a response from the man.

He would be the first to admit that he wouldn't be completely sure about that. That being his tracking skills. He's never had to track things, just sent like an attack dog after the things had been found. He wasn't sure how to admit that fact to his teammate, who seemed to have a more generic amount of experience doing everything ninja related. This assumption came from her lackadaisical attitude about this whole mission. He had followed her out, of course, and managed to get together some words.

"I am the attack dog, not the tracker. My tracking skills aren't as refined as my combat ones."

He had, realistically, held back when he had charged her earlier. He could've used that jutsu, but it wasn't a good show as a swordsman. It was just a show of speed that would make him seem way stronger than he was. He was only human, and that was just the fact. He wasn't a genetic monstrosity as far as he was concerned, just skilled with the blade. Huh. Tracking should be something he goes into at some point.

"Do you have refined tracking skills?"

he was no good, She would sigh at this, hard way it is. When he asked her about her tracking skills, she would look at him "Yes I can track, however it is not a speciality, does not mean we can not find them anyways" She went to the next bar, shadier then the first even, looking for a group, She waited by the door however and waited for her partner to step into the bar with her.

She had noticed a group of shady folks in the dark corner, which was more then likely the people they were looking for, but she needed him to put up a facade

He grew concerned as they went to a bar even seedier than the one they started at. He wasn't sure that he knew such a thing existed. However, as he appeared into the seediest bar he had ever been in, it was odd. He felt off, make no mistake. There was something off about this. He attempted to put on a not concerned face, and went into the only other face he knew how to make. A sort of 'I told you so' face.

He'd look at Naomi.

"I'm ready if you are."

He was a nervous wreck despite having confidence in his skills. It's how he is and it'll never be any other way. Because that's who he was. He could save an entire village and still be nervous about fighting a genin.

She smiled at him as he entered, and when he looked at her, she would throw herself around his arm closest to her, and lay her head on his shoulder, whispering through her teeth " follow my lead". She would drag him over to a table close to the men that they were here for, she would sit with her back to them, and using that to block their sight, she would point through herself to the men behind her, and mouth to him that they were the guys that they were here for.

She decided however she would be the distraction, after making a order, she would excuse herself to use the bathroom, however on the way there, she 'Accidentally' bumped into one of the men, then getting offended at them "Watch where you are going, did you not see me walking here, God you have no sense of respect for woman do you " However the way she did it, the four men now looked at her, with the one she bumped into having his back to Chiruto.

with no one looking at him, this made for a perfect oppertunity for him to get the drop on them, seeing as she had the on in front of her, and had the exit behind her, she could take care of him and one other quickly, hopefully Chiruto could handle himself with at least one if not two of these men.

He decided to finish this fight faster than most, because he knew that his teammate probably didn't think much of him. He would grab Samehada's hilt way farther up on the hilt, and start bouncing on his feet. It was basically soundless, though. The grip on the blade's hilt was extra tight. If one had a dojutsu that belonged to the Hyugga clan, they could see the chakra moving about his body. While what he did was different from the gates, it affected him differently as well. It often tore through his chakra reserves and that's why he dreaded doing it.

The immense burst of speed he let out was on levels that no one at the bar could likely see. He would move as fast as he could, slicing down three out of the four ninja who were there. He'd swiftly smash the leg of the man who would be left standing. Samehada ate well, but denoted that one of the chakra natures he tasted there was a bit too spicy for his taste, and that was okay. The pure chakra that Chiruto fed him was enough to keep him around.

"I'm guessing that you can gather the information about where their boss is."

His face had went back to the one of more than mild concern.

misc business:

Now Naomi had very little time to prepare once it started, in a flash three of the guys were out, and the forth was forced to his knees, and in that very moment, with just two fingers, she caught him by the throat, enough that he could talk, but if needed she could squeeze and cause pain and lack of oxygen. she sneered at him and for awhile he kept up with that he would not be saying anything, but when her fingers adjusted and started to cut off the jugulars , stopping blood flow to the brain, and she went on to discuss how long it would take before he passed out, however, she could continue a little longer and choke the life out of him completely, or leave him brain dead.

When he was finally faced with Mortality, is when he began to talk, informing them of the location of the other two people and the weapon, and with a quick jerk of her hand, his neck snapped and she looked up at her partner " That should solve that issue, lets go pick the weapon back up, and hopefully we can kill the bitch soiling the Kaguya name" and with that she would leave heading to the spot he spoke of.

He would follow the woman, who seemed to be all business if that revolved around being brutal and overbearing. That was something he disliked about his current partner. No matter how brutal or overbearing the violence, he had his doubts that it would effect the woman across from him. Well, across from him on a record of this mission. He was a little behind her when it came down to actually following her. That was just how he did things.

"Do you wish to be the one who ends it, or do you wish for me to end it fast."

He said it more like a statement despite the fact that it was a question. It was a burning question that he always asked. He didn't like murdering people, despite the fact that it was needed. He had a lot of blood on his hands. He had more than most people, but that's because he was really good at this whole murder thing. Despite not liking it.

Naomi was almost there when a Question stopped her in her tracks, this kid just offered to take all the kills, and was going to do it quickly,this was a tad upsetting to Naomi , however with the danger of setting off the weapon, she would sigh and point to him " you better take care of it quickly then, I will make sure no one escapes" She would then quickly and quietly lead him through the base that they had just arrived at, they really did not have much longer before the Rendevous that would make the weapon and the leader disappear for good.

A distinctly sour look happened upon the face of Chiruto. Often, the looks on his face were of mild concern, but never outright disdain. That was his face when she said to take care of it. It was obvious he was the right man for the job but that didn't make him any happier when it came down to it. He should be the one providing support with his ability to nullify jutsu with Samehada.

But it was fine.

He moved with Naomi, and once the leader was in his sight, he knew what he had to do.

He got into his stance and, with a burst of speed that very much so rivaled jinchuriki in their best forms, blasted forward. He cleared the space between him and the woman swiftly, and in a brutal matter. The blade was going up and down on the woman, and she was likely dead before he stopped swinging. He refused to do otherwise.

“Find the weapon.”

With the boss out of the way, there was only one more, which when the boss was felled in a foul swoop, took off for the door way just as Naomi blocked the door, watching as he ran smack into her and bouncing off of her, she would reach down and pick him up, and growl at him about the location of the weapon, even bargined with him so that the man would live after showing her where the weapon was held.

Following the man until the room, the moment the weapon was pointed out a bone protruded from her had and straight into the spinal cord of the man, between the third and fourth vertabre effectvilly killing him immeditely, using the bone she would then throw it at the weapon, which it would pierce and destroy.

That kind of power no one should have, she would then start running for the exit, only stopping to inform her assosiate to get out of the base now.

Chiruto watched his teammate, seemingly only working with mission in mind, destroy a weapon and tell him to leave. Hmm. He had to ponder this woman. She, by all means, made him displeased. Both her attitude and lack of clothing bothered him, and that was just the start of the reasons he was displeased. He trusted this womans abilities make no mistake. That was the thing he trusted. He didn't trust her, and her willingness to straight up murder people post torture. He didn't like it because he felt it was in bad taste and that, if you were to murder someone, just do it.

He wasn't even angry, all things considered. Just a bit sour. That's just sorta how it was. He left the area, going at a rather high speed. He might as well have been called a speedster all things considered, despite the fact that he often used it to take care of opponents. He'd be a great messenger if a war ever went about starting.
