Naruto: Systematic Shinobi

Chapter 25: Waterfall 4

He didn't hold back this time at all though, and used both together. The audible crunch of their bones, echoed throughout the area, before they fell to their deaths.

Six left, and they hit the ground running. nove(l)bi(n.)com

They ignored Sasuke entirely, and rushed Daiki's area. Clicking his tongue, Daiki held out his hand and summoned his tanto.

Ignoring Sasuke was a mistake.

Getting behind them in a blur, Sasuke unwound a Demon Windmill Shuriken and whipped it through the air, it tore through the gap between them like a buzz saw.

Just as it was about to catch the leader in the back though, he scoffed, "Nice try kid!" he hollered, jumping over it and letting it wind clearly beneath him.

Light glinted behind the shuriken and Sasuke jerked his hand back, ninja wire becoming visible attached to the shuriken and pulling it right back around at the leader.

The leader's eyes widened noticeably, before with a growl, he ran through a few hand seals, and with a puff of smoke was replaced by a log that the huge shuriken pierced into.

…Only for a second shuriken to seemingly materialize from the shadow of the first as it stabbed into the log and ping through the air to stab deep into the side of one of the other shinobi.

'Shadow Shuriken!' Daiki realised.

With the leader out of the way, and the subordinates now cut down to four, Daiki exploded forward in a blindingly fast shunshin.

Three juked around him, the path of a shunshin was obvious, but his target had no chance to even attempt to dodge before Daiki's tanto pierced his throat and ended his life.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he heard Naruto shout from behind him and the clang of metal and ripped his tanto free from the corpses throat and with a thought, sealed it again.

Daiki grinned as he caught sight of all three being held up by clones of Naruto, the blonde had sent out multiple clones to take them on and hold them back to protect the others.

…And left a perfect little bit of distance for him.

Rapidly his hands came together before flashing through a sequence of hand seals. Electricity sparked around his hands as he finished and he thrust out both hands, "Lightning Style: Electromagnetic Murder!" he roared, dozens of forks of lightning exploding through the air towards them

Held up by Naruto, and with the sheer speed of his jutsu, the three of them, alongside Naruto's clones, had no chance of dodging.

They screamed in agony and their bodies completely locked up and began spasming as the lightning ran through their veins and cooked them from the inside out, the smell of sizzling flesh riding on the air.

They died quickly, while Naruto's clones puffed out of existence

"Holy crap dattebayo!" Naruto gaped, "That is such a cool jutsu!"

Sadly, Daiki didn't have time to bask in the awe of his fellow genin and whirled around to where Sasuke was, to see him engaging the leader in a rapid back and forth of taijutsu.

Sasuke had the edge in speed and skill, but the man was taller, had a longer reach, and was edging him out in pure physical strength.

"Sasuke, fireball!" Daiki called out, already going through the hand seals.

"Right!" Sasuke agreed, catching on quick and disengaged from his opponent, jumping back.

It left the man with his back towards the waterfall, with Daiki and Sasuke pincering him on either side and going through identical hand seals

As one, both genin finished and cupped their fingers around their mouths and exhaled powerfully, "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"

"Damnit!" the man shouted angrily, with little place to run - if he jumped back onto the water, he'd be a sitting duck - he ran through a rapid set of hand seals himself, "Water Style: Water Wall!" spinning, the man exhaled himself and spewed out a surge of water that swept around him to block the pair of fire jutsu.

Steam erupted when they impacted, blanketing the area. Daiki kept his ears peeled and slowly started going through a few more handseals, preparing to unleash another jutsu and kill him for good..

But when the steam died down a moment later, he was nowhere to be seen.

"Damnit, he ran!" Sasuke cursed

"Probably back into the village then, no way a troop this small and weak could threaten an entire village, even a minor one," Daiki agreed, easing up on his hand seals, "There's probably more already in there, probably much stronger ones at that."

…If he remembered right, one of them was at least a Jonin, and a traitor to Waterfall, nowhere near Kakashi's level, but a Jonin nonetheless.

Sasuke nodded, before glaring over at Shibuki who…had collapsed to his knees and huddled into a shiver, cowering ball.

Daiki bore witness to a rather shocking and odd event, Sasuke gaping stupidly in shock.

The Last Uchiha had no words for the scene before him, and clearly couldn't understand it either.

It would have made for quite the comical sight that Daiki would have had a grand time laughing about, at any other time.

Sadly, he could not.

"How is she Sakura?" Daiki rushed over to the group huddling over Shizuku's mother.

"…It's not deep that she'll die right away, but she needs medical attention right away or…" The pink haired girl looked up and explained, before trailing off.

Shizuku's lips trembled, tears streaming from her eyes, "Is…is mom gonna die Daiki-nii-chan?" she asked, despair in her voice.

"She'll be fine," Daiki pat her head reassuringly and smiled gently at her, "I'll make sure, I promise."

She sniffled, but put on a brave face and nodded at his words.

'Shibuki could learn a thing or two from a girl like this.' he resisted the urge to snort derisively and dropped to his knees, running through hand seals, "Mystical Palm Jutsu!" the tan, muscular boy declared, green light flaring to life around his hands, and he directed it to the women collapsed below him.

"Medical ninjutsu!" Sakura gasped, eyes going wide with awe.

Too bad, that once again, he could not bask in it, and this time it was from a pretty girl, a three out of ten on his personal thicc smashable babes scale even.

She had the ass and hips to qualify, okay?
