It had only been a couple hours sense he returned to the village that a member of the anbu had dropped in on him and given him a scroll. Taking only a few minutes to read it he found himself a little stunned, yet almost immediately left the village, leaving his teammates uninformed. He'd been traveling for nearly two hours when he finally came to his destination. It made sense why this mission had been given to him, many of his jutsu could be utilized for stealth, yet it seemed strange that such a task would be given to a genin. His form jumped from the ground and moved into a tree overly looking the outskirts of a camp. His eyes darted about as he looked at the situation. There were a total of twenty tents, and the tents looked to big enough to house at least twelve people. There were divided up into four groups, based around a large fire. There were four walk ways between the tents. Each on having four guards patrolling up and down them, and there were another four people standing around the fire. Senko thought back to the scroll, he had been ordered to exterminate them all.
It had seemed that Lord Hokage had grown tired of the bandit attacks, and so he wanted them gone. Senko was picked because he could kill a large number of them while they slept without awakening them. Which means no one would be there to alert others, which meant that there would be no panic, which meant that no one would try to get away.... which meant no one would ever know that the leaf village ordered this. "This has to be a freaking A rank mission, so I better get paid well for this." Senko thought for a moment, bandits weren't really a threat to a genin, maybe in large enough numbers, but for most shinobi they were just a nuisance. It was to the average person that they posed a threat. Senko shrugged and after taking a moment to come up with a plan of attack, decided it was time to get started. His hands ran into a series of seals, his form suddenly vanishing to the shadows, melding with them. Utilizing shunshin, his form darted from shadow to shadow. While he was out in the light, he was a visible being, but as soon as he touched the shadows his form transmuted into them, allowing him to stop and be completely untouchable, and completely unseen.
Slipping into the first tent, Senko brandished the dagger given to him by Yasha. The blade would be brought up and then plunged into the bandits throat, and then pushed all the way down severing their spinal cord. It was a swift process and fairly silent. He would perform this action to each of the bandits laying in their cots, leaving no one left alive. After each thrust, he watched as the body withered away, the souls, chakra, life force, and blood of the victims being drained away in the vampiric dagger. His form would then vanish back into the shadows and move on to the next tent, repeating the process until he got to the last tent. He'd spent a little over the hour systematically executing these bandits in their sleep, and now he was almost done. It was only moments after he thrust the blade into the last sleeping bandit that a shrill cry broke the silence of the night. It appeared to Senko that someone he found his doings. "Hmm guess it was someones turn to hit the hay..... or something..... oh well. Guess I'mma have a real fight." Senko turned to the opening of the tent, the dagger brought before him, the tip pointing towards the flap. His form hunched forward as both knees bent, readying to propel him into battle. He could hear the ruckus of the guards running around checking the tents.... and then, a moment later, an unsuspecting man burst into the same tent as Senko. As soon as he did Senko lunged forward thrusting the blade into his left eye socket and then brought the blade straight up, cleaving through his skull and kill him. Senko's right leg coming up as he planted his foot on the dead man's chest and kicked him out of the tent.
Senko lifted the flap and made his way out of the tent, his gaze shifting around, his pupils moving over the individuals. "One, two.... eight... nine..... twelve, fourteen.... nineteen. Good you're all here." Senko found himself surrounded by the bandits. Suddenly ten of them broke from the group and darted towards him. Senko's fingers running through a series of seals, calling upon the darkness. Immediately clouds formed over head, thick, dark, heavy. The sky filled with them and a light drizzle began. The shadows along the ground elongated and darkened, and the light of lanterns, and the campfire vanished. Then Senko concentrated his chakra to his senses, he could see the light emitted by their bodies. He could hear the sweat running down their faces, he could smell the salt left in the sweat trail, and he could taste the pheromones of fear that slipped from their bodies. But there was something else, he could feel their chakra. His eyes and month closed, the chakra was taken away from all of his normal sense, the blood flow reduced to his ears and eyes, his skin became almost completely numb, he was now deaf and blind as well. But he was not lost, for his sixth sense was behind enhanced. Within his minds eye he could see the world. He could see the natural chakra of the wind, he could see the natural chakra of the grass, the rocks, the rain, the trees, and the people. He could see the individual droplets of water, and while there was a singular generic feel to water that separated it from the way the grass felt, he could also see that individual resonance of the droplets that made them unique. And while he could not hear the bandits with his heads, he could feel their mouths move, see them in his minds eye, feel the vibrations of their voices, and hear their words within his mind.
'It's just some fucking kid, lets kill his bitch ass!'
'I can't believe this fucking brat thought he could get away with this kind of bullshit!'
'You're fucking dead you punk ass idiot.'
As they charged him Senko could see all of there motions as if they were standing still. Channeling more of his chakra, he utilized Shunshin, his burst movement technique, as well as the positive negative technique, to accelerate himself to ultrasonic speeds. The dagger still brandished was swung about wildly, lashing out into the group as he severed arms, legs, and heads. He could see everything as he moved he didn't need to stop and plot his next course, he didn't have to slow down at all. After darting in and out of the group five times he found himself stopped on the opposite side of them. The sonic boom from him initially going ultrasonic finally ringing out. The group was still running to where Senko had been, when suddenly in unison, their bodies fell apart, blood squirting everywhere. With eyes still closed Senko canted his head to the left as if he was looking at the other group of people. There were only eight, one was missing. They had huddled together forming a defensive circle. Suddenly without warning Senko form vanished into the shadows, reappearing behind the group, his right hand jutting out as he separated his chakra releasing a blast of positive energy that saturated the whole group. The positive chakra bonding with them on an atomic level causing them become positively ionized. His form then moved back several feet as he brought his hands together forming tori. "Alright, you guys can taste my newest jutsu." With his chakra still separated he sent a charge of negative chakra up into the clouds above, which then bonded with all the matter that composed them on an atomic level causing them to become negatively ionized.
The group stood in fear, not knowing what was going on, until it was too late. In a brief moment there was no darkness, only bright white blinding light. It consumed everything around, and illuminated everything for miles. Yet just as soon as it came it was gone, and a moment later the clap of rolling thunder could be heard. Senko had created the perfect lightning attack. Normally lightning would strike the highest object, or a metallic object, but by causing the group to become positively ionized it didn't matter what was around them, or where they went, the lightning was guaranteed to strike them. Senko relaxed his chakra, his senses returned to normal, and the dark clouds vanished. The light from the lanterns, and the camp fire returned, and before him Senko saw the mess of people laying upon the ground. Limbs missing, third degree burns covering their bodies. They were all still alive, but barely. It seemed the power of the lightning had been shared equally by all of them preventing a instantly fatal hit. Of course, they would most likely still die. Brandishing the dagger again, Senko made his way over to them and proceeded to slit each one of their necks, ending their misery and suffering.
"Now where did that last one g...." His sentence was caught off as the whistle of an object flying through the air caught his attention. Immediately he turned towards it and identified it as a kunai, his form juking to the right of just in time for it to graze his cheek and barely miss his earlobe. He could feel the sting of the cut and the light trickle of blood running down his face. His red optics fell upon the unaccounted for 9th person. He was different, he carried himself with dignity and authority. "Must be the leader... odd... maybe paranoia keeps you awake at night?" Senko smiled tauntingly at the man. The man had an eye patch over his right eye, and bandages wrapped around his head. And as Senko pondered about them, he found his eyes attracted to the man's left hand, which held a kunai. The kunai was brought up and the tip drug across the strap of the eye patch and across the bandages, cutting them both at once. And as they fell to the ground, Senko understood. For the man's right eye was red with three black tomes, and where the bandages had lay there was now an all white eye with veins bursting out from either side of it. "Oh, how strange, where did you get those?" The man replied by releasing three kunai at Senko. Senko intercepting the first be grabbing it, and then swung it to the right and down knocking the other two kunai to the side. Tossing the kunai back at the bandit, Senko then vanished, using Shunshin to accelerate himself mere feet from his opponent. As the man moved his left hand up knocking the kunai away with his forearm. Senko materialized before in, in the air, his forward momentum carrying his extended left leg to the man's face. The man brought both arms towards the foot, his digits wrapping around it and holding Senko suspended in flight. Twisting his body, he rotated the caught foot as he shifted his right heel to the side of the man's head. Immediately Senko's foot was released and the man brought both arms up blocking the heel. At this point Senko found himself partial upside down and with his left hand jutted a kunai for the man's naval.
Yet it appeared that even with both of his arms blocking his eyesight, he was still able to see the attack, and without missing a beat the man jumped back putting three yards with of distance between him and Senko. Senko by now had landed on the ground and was looking fairly impressed. He studied the man for a moment, he was obviously a ninja outcast, probably from another village. He most likely never made it past a genin based on his current skill level.... but with those two doujutsu he'd be a formidable opponent for many new shinobi. Senko bowed his head towards the man and smiled, "You are pretty impressive, I must admit that if this fight where to last you'd probably be able to beat me.... but running a sharigan and a byakugan at the same time.... I can tell your chakra levels are dropping fast. You probably don't have much time, do you?" Senko's head rose as he let a taunting grin creep across his face. "It will be an honor to kill you. You are a blight upon this world and I shall purge this plague that you call an existence from our world. I'd say that you should pray to whatever god you worship for the forgiveness of your soul, but it wouldn't matter for your soul will be mine."
Without any warning Senko's form shifted low to the ground, his hands running through a series of three seals as his form became hazy. Three shurikens were then produced and thrown. One was thrown straight down at the ground, and the other two to the sides of him. And as the three shurikens entered the shadows of other objects, they vanished. Yet immediately reappeared in different locations. From the shadows of a bough of a mighty tree one Shuriken shot down towards the man's neck. From his own shadow a shuriken shot up for his leg. And from a tent behind him shuriken moved to his spine. Though a bewildered expression shot across his face, the man produced a successful counter. Leaping into the air he brought his left hand out smacking the first shuriken away, his left leg than shifting to kick away the second shuriken, which then shot downwards and intercepted the third shuriken sending it flying off into one of the tents. Yet while the man was caught up in his evasive procedures, Senko had used Shunshin to get within two feet of him, and brandishing a kunai, he separated his chakra, saturating the kunai with positive, and building up a massive swell of negative in his hand. He released the blade and with speed that no human eye could follow the object ripped forth from his hand and into the sternum on the man.
Senko was caught in amazement, the kunai ripped through the man, going all the way through, traveled through three tents, before slamming into a rock and splitting it in half. The man who was struck went flying back landing on the tent, his spine severed leaving him paralyzed from the shoulders down. Senko slowly made his way over to the man, and reaching down pushed his left hand's fingers into the man's middle eye, the nails of his fingers moving around the byakugan as he grasped it and then plucked it out. His fingers applying ample pressure to it until it sudden popped sending blood flying everywhere. Yasha's mystical dagger was produced and with but a smile upon his face was thrust into the sharigan destroying it and killing the man. The blade then placed back into the pouch as he looked off to the south west.... it was time to return home.
