Being the first one to run wasn’t an honourable act for a member of the Sarutobi n, but honour didn’t buy you anything.Life wasn’t fair and fate struck cruelly. They were doomed.
A purple armoured behemoth crashed through the buildings and ttened everything in its way with brute force. ted in heavy armour and menacing purple chakra, the behemoth ripped the entire block apart in primal fury. Steel, concrete, wood, stone, nothing resisted her rage. Nothing stopped the raging beast.
Naritomo felt small. This was true power, a power mere mortals and humans could never hope topete with. This was the power of the gods. The behemoth massacred the fleeing shinobi, smashing them like the tiny ants. They didn’t stand a chance, and their blood adorned its purple armour.
Few survived. Few escaped her wrath, but that wasn’t enough to savethem. The beast gave no mercy. Purple spheres surrounded the armoured monstrosity. Her chakra nurtured them.
“...” Naritomo sweated. The strike was imminent. The girl had gonepletely insane. She wasgoing to kill themand st Konoha to kingdome.
“TAKE COVER!!!” Naritomo closed his eyes and his world turned bright. The shock wave passed him together with a tsunami of rubble, bricks, dust, earth, stone, dirt. The buildings yielded. The impact shredded them like cardboard, and a rain of debris fragments showered their position. Her destructive methods proved effective once again.
Yetsurvived, but the same couldn''tbe said about his battalion. The inexperienced genin didn''t share his luck.Smashed, ughtered, murdered, their corpses littered the battlefield. Few miraculously survived the ordealunscathed.
“Hehehehe ...” Naritomughed. Heughed andughed. His whole battalion was gone just like this. A single strike and they met their demise. This wasn’t a fight. This was a massacre.
His eyesred at the purple armoured behemoth. Covered in fireand mes, the monster lived on. Unmoved, unfazed by all the carnage, the amour approached them.
Naritomo unholstered hiskunai in ast desperate act of defiance. They were done, but he would fight to hisst breath.
“...” Heclosed his eyes and awaitedhis end, but death made him wait.
The armour dissipated, and an innocent girl weed them. Her ck kimono was drenched in red, but Asami wore her colours with pride.
The girl strolled across the ruins and greeted her new friends with a sharine grin. “Sorry for the inconvenience, but are you friend, or foe? It''s hard to tell these days. Myrades deceived me, and my supposed allies betrayed me. The ANBU and Konoha''s loyal ninja, they all hunt me.”
...
...
...
“... ... ...” Silence followed, and Naritomo gulped. Her words strangled him. He feared her wrath.
Asami shook her headand sighed. “I am disappointed. You hurt me. I dedicatedmy entire life to Konoha. I gaveeverything. My handskilled, murdered, ughtered in Konoha’s name, but Konoha’s braveninjadon’t even have the courage to answer a simple question.”
Asamilooked up. Her purpleeyes petrified Naritomo. The girl was... The girlwas ...
Her hand wandered towardsher sword. “Answer me, are you with me, or are you against me?Were you also ordered to attack me like the rest of your friends?”
“...” Naritomo paled. The girlknew. The current situation wasdelicate.
His voice trembled. “With you.We arewith you.”
He was visibly nervous. Her eyes.They terrified him.He gazed into their soulless abyss and never returned.
Her hand left the hilt and Asami smiled, satisfied. “Wonderful, I am d we were able to solve this misunderstanding. And now, if you excuse me, I still have a few Suna and Oto-nin to deal with ...”
“Why did you kill her?” A voice interrupted her. It was a boy, a genin.
Asami halted.“Kill whom?” A geninred at her, questioningher.
“You killed Kyoko.” Theboyred at her. His armshuggedherbloodied corpse.
Asami raisedher eyebrow. “Apparently. A tragic ident, but idents happen. The battlefield is a cruel ce.”
“An ident?” The boy narrowed his eyes.
Asamitilted her head andsmiled. “Yes, an ident. Your loss saddens me.”
The boy clenched his fist.“Why did you kill her?”
Asami dismissed his presence. “Listen, boy, I have killed so many today, I stopped counting. Her death was admittedly a mistake on my part, but mistakes tend to happen.”
“I overlooked you ...”
“Aargh!!!” The boy grabbed his kunai and charged, but Asami quick drew. Her steelpierced hisheart.
Asami shook her head. “Disappointingperformance.” Her hand extracted her d, and the boy hit the ground. His life had ended,and allninja stared at hernowin shock. In their eyes, she was a monster.They were scared, but they were prepared to fight, they were even prepared to die.Theninja made their decision and preparedtheir kunai.
“...” Asami was surrounded. The enemy blocked her path. They opposed her, as did Konoha.
Hergaze swept through their ranks. It didn''t need to end like this, but it did.“An unfortunateturn of events. I thought Konoha stood at my side, but I was wrong.In the end, I am but alone.”
Asamisummoned her purple chakra and created a sphere.“Sayonara, this is where we part.”
