Adventure Of The Arsenal Magus

Chapter 6 - Threatening Advice Part 2 (6)

"Hey.. Let's not rush he-" Karl was about said to Mortred but she just quickly throwed the daggers at the white haired man. He just quickly dodged and went outside the ramen shop. She then again took more daggers and also went outside. There she saw 3 people standing not that far from the shop.

"So it's that her huh? where's the other one?" A black haired guy wearing a normal standard shinobi clothes and a konoha forehead protector and a cigarette in his mouth.

"The other one is still inside. I don't know what's his doing but our order is to capture this two so let's not fail the hokage okay?" The white haired man as he grab a kunai in his back pocket.

"We know okay.... No need to tell us" A girl said wearing a red mesh armour blouse and her hands and upper t.h.i.g.hs wrapped in bandages, a Konoha forehead protector and regular shinobi sandals.

"Okay Kakashi, Kurenai. leave this to me. Fighting a girl is not that difficult" The shinobi with a cigarette said as he took some kind of a brass knuckle/blade kinda thing in his hand.

"Asuma, I wouldn't underestimate her If I were you. This girl is different. I can feel it" The white haired guy which is called Kakashi said as he goes on a fighting stand.

"Well let me fight her for a bit okay?" Asuma said as he charge toward the girl in a good speed. Mortred saw this and quickly throw the 5 daggers toward the charging guy. Asuma didn't even dodge and just blocked two daggers that will most likely hit him making a safe pathway for him to charge. He then came closer to Mortred with his speed and perform a horizontal slash toward the girl's stomach. Mortred just took another dagger with her backpocket and parried the blades that Asuma launched. Seeing his attack was blocked, he used his other free hand also equipped with the same weapon in his other hand and perform a uppercut slash. Mortred dodged it by simply breaking off the parry and took a couple steps back. Even though she completely dodged the attack, she somehow felt pain in her face. She tried touching the part in pain and realize it was bleeding. The guy had able to inflict damage even though she dodged his attack.

'What was that? How did he hit me?' She thought thinking it maybe somekind of a trick.

Asuma on the other hand was grinning. 'That always caught them off guard' he thought. Seeing the girl is confused, Asuma then charged again trying to inflict another slash to the girl but this time in much faster speed. He then again launch another horizontal slash in the girl's head. Mortred saw the incoming attack and quickly making a move like she is slashing Asuma with like an imaginary weapon that the girl is holding. Asuma saw this and was quite confused but it didn't stopped him from continuing his attack. He was no longer looking at the girl's hand and completely focusing on hitting the girl's head. His attacked failed though when Mortred crouched a little bit. And just like last time, he then again attacked with his other free hand making another uppercut while Mortred continued her mov movement.

"ASUMA!!!" Kurenai yelled making Asuma confused.

'Why are you yelling? This girl is weaponless.' Asuma thought.

He then felt his body being dragged away preventing him from finishing his uppercut attack. He turn around and saw Kakashi pulling him out making him go out of balance and stopping his attack. At first he was mad and confused on why Kakashi would pull him but stopped when realize a wind pass through his neck while he is still looking at Kakashi. When he turn around, he saw a huge scythe just barely passing through his neck. Both Kakashi and Asuma then jumped back making quite a distance between them and the girl.

Asuma was confused. "What happend? She never had a weapon!!" Asuma asked

"I know. But in the middle of the fight, some leaves just showed up forming a scythe and just after they disappeared, a scythe took place. That was so close." Kakashi said.

Asuma just look at the girl now wielding a huge scythe. She then look at Kakashi "Thanks Kakashi. I owe you one."

"No problem. Just take her seriously now. We should attack her together. We don't know what kind of ninjutsu she's using so we need to be careful" Kakashi said.

"Yeah. But what kind of ninjutsu is that though? I never saw something like that before" Asuma said.

"Yeah me too" Kakashi said.

Mortres then charged.

"Watch out!! She's coming!!" Kurenai yelled as the girl charged at them in a average speed. The three of them then took a fighting stance waiting for the girl to come close. As they was watching her though, she just quickly vanished as the leaves ate her. They was wondering where she goes but stopped when they felt something coming in their back. Three of them quickly turned around and saw the scythe coming to cut the three of them on one sweep. Kakashi summersaulted, Kurenai crouched while Asuma parried the incoming scythe with his blades expecting to stop the swinging scythe. To his surprised though, it completely overpowers him and he got launch flying toward a building.

"ASUMA!!" Kakashi yelled. He then saw the girl was about to charge Asuma, Kakashi quickly charge closer and engaged taijutsu with the girl. Kakashi tried hitting the girl with his punches, kicks and some Kunai slash but the girl just either dodge or block his attacks. With the unusual shape of her scythe and how skillfully she use it, Mortred completely overpowered Kakashi making him stop in approaching her in taijutsu. As this was happening though, Kurenai had already regrouped with Asuma. Kakashi saw this and quickly went to the two and regrouped.

"She's really skillful with her scythe. She's completely overpowering me without my sharingan" Kakashi said.

"Yes. I also can't use my firestyle here since it will damage the surrounding. I don't want that" Asuma said.

"Okay I'm gonna use genjutsu at her. Go distact her for 5 minutes." Kurenai said to them.

"Roger" Both the boys said.

"She maybe good. But we completely outnumber her. Let's all attack together now." Kakashi said. "And maybe go full power this time" Kakashi said as he readjusted his headband projector now showing his red eyes.

"Now we're talking! Let's go!!" Asuma yelled as both of them charged together. Kakashi reached first with his speed faster than Asuma and tried slashing her with his kunai. Mortred dodge it by taking a step back and quickly swing her own scythe at him. Kakashi simply crouched considering the attack was quite high and tried sweeping her feet with his right foot. While this is happening, Asuma was already in his left making a slash move with his blades. They seem quite confident that this would get her but Mortred just quickly took a dagger and throw it to the ground with it's blade completely facing Kakashi's sweeping feet which made him retract his foot. As for Asuma, she just crouched a little bit and swung her scythe toward him overall countering all of their combined attack. Both of them took a step back and attack together once again. Asuma charged while Kakashi throwed one shuriken toward her and performed a series of hand sign.

[x] Shadow Shuriken Jutsu [x]

The single shuriken then burst out to over a dozen and went flying toward the girl. She then quickly took her scythe and spin it blocking every single Shuriken coming. As she was blocking though, Asuma once again attempted slashing her with his chakra infused blades in a maximum swing range. Mortred just went closer to Asuma out of his attack range and and grabbed his hand and kicked him strongly in the stomach sending him flying again. Now that he was gone, he then again looked at Kakashi who's not there anymore. She then look again at Asuma's body and it quickly popped into smoke. As this happend simultaneously, she then heard cracked underneath her feet and two hands came out and grabbed her foot making her unable to move.

"Now we got you!!" She then heard Asuma's voice in her back as he was trying to slash the girl with his blades.

'W-What? How did they do that? I was completely in focus!!' Mortred thought.

'Nice! Maybe you don't need my genjutsu after all' Kurenai who has been watching them thought as she saw how well coordinated they both attack. As they thought it was the finishing blow, Mortred just raised her right hand in the air and leaves then appeares forming a small one-handed axe. When the leaves disappeares, a real blue one-handed axe appeared and then chanted something.

[x] Manta Style Skill [x]

[x] Mirror Image [x]

Mortred's body then broke like glass and splitted into three people who look exactly like her.

'S-Shadow Clone?!?!' Kakashi thought as she saw the girl multiplied. The other clone quickly charged toward Kurenai who is still not ready with her genjutsu. The other clone went and attack Kakashi who is on the ground and the real one engaged close combat with Asuma. Kakashi and Asuma saw the clone charging to Defenseless Kurenai wanted to help but they are also busy with this relentless scythe user.

"KURENAI!!!" Asuma yelled as he tried rushing toward her but he was stopped by the real Mortred. The other clone slashed the ground cracking in forcing Kakashi to jump out. Kakashi then quickly tried rushing toward Kurenai to help but also stopped by the other clone. The genjutsu is about to be finished but Kurenai don't want to stop the genjutsu since it would reset again to the beginning if she stop. She just stood there and doesn't know what to do. The clone then reached her and swung her scyther toward Kurenai. She just closed her eye's waiting for the attack... that never came. As she open her eyes, he saw a blonde boy with a black and orange jumpsuit and hit the clone with a blue spiral thing in his hand.

[x] Rasengan [x]

The boy yelled as he hit the girl sending in to a building.

"I don't know what's happening but you are obviously the bad guy" The boy said as he look at the two more girl.

"Nice Attack Naruto!" they heard a voice in their left and saw another white haired guy with strange marking in his face bring a huge scroll in his back.

"NARUTO!! JIRAIYA-SENSEI!! YOU'RE BACK!!" Kurenai yelled.

Kakashi's group might be very happy, Mortred is obviously not.

'Two people added to the battle. It's 5 v 1 now.' Mortred thought.

'That Kurenai girl has been like that ever since they started attacking together. What is she doing? Somekind of a technique?' Mortred wondered.

"Naruto? Is that really you?" Kakashi said as he looked at the grown up Naruto.

"Yes!! I just came from a very long training and then this is already the one welcoming me? Not good Not good" The blonde said.

"Yeah we are back from training." Jiraiya said. "Anyways explain what's happening here"

"No need for explanation!! The girl is the enemy right? Let's catch her!!" The blond yelled completely ignoring Jiraiya and charged toward the girl.

"Wait for a bit Naruto!! The genjutsu is ready! Get out of the way" Kurenai said as she closed her eyes.

"Got it" Naruto nodded and let Kurenai do her thing. Mortred saw this actions so she immediately charge toward Kurenai with an incredible speed. As she was about to reach her though, she just saw trees growing from the ground and holding her down with each branches in grows.

[×] Genjutsu [×]

[×] Great Forest of Konoha [×]

'W-What is this?? She can control plants?!?!' Mortred thought as the branches of trees completely immobilizing her and more trees grow up from the ground completely surrounding her.

Kurenai was panting after after she used the genjutsu. Mortred just stood in the middle of the road trying to escape from something that is not visible for them. Asuma and Kakashi then regrouped with Kurenai and the two new comers. Asuma went to Kurenai whose panting hard.

"Are you alright Kurenai?" He asked.

"Y-Yes.. Just some chakra exhaustion. That's my strongest Genjutsu. She can't escape from that" Kurenai said as she pant between in her sentence.

"Wow.... I hope I can do some genjutsu" The blonde said.

Jiraiya Chuckled. "Too bad your so bad at it" He said as he continued laughing. Both new comers change the intense atmosphere.

Kakashi look at the two remembering the past where this always happen. Teacher and student fighting each other through words. It always amuse him. But just shortly, he paid her attention Mortred.

"Let's tie her first. It's probably safer" Kakashi suggested. The laughing group then stopped and also look at Mortred.

"Yeah that's probably wise. We don't want her attacking us again" Asuma said. Kakashi then came closer to her body as he took ropes from his back pocket. As he came close though, Mortred just disappeared in a pop of smoke.

'This guys are troublesome as heck. Luckily the one they caught with their technique is one of my illusion.' Mortred said as she was crouching at one of the house's roof with her invisibility is on. She had been using the vision of her clone as POV and it got caught by Kurenai's spell, that's why it felt so real for her. She then jumped off the roof and goes behind them.

( This part is badly explained lol)

"CLONE!!" Kakashi instantly yelled informing everybody. They are all looking for her. Just a moment after the clone pop, Jiraiya felt something coming in his back. He saw it was Mortred with her scythe again trying to attack them.

"This girl is restless" Jiraiya said. Everybody also realize that she's already attacking the sannin with surprised expression. When they thought she was finished, she just surprises everyone with a clone. Jiraiya who saw it was coming just quickly dodge the incoming scythe. After he dodged, he just took out his hand and a blue spiral thing formed in it. Mortred saw thing quickly took couple steps back but Jiraiya's incredible speed just caught her off-guard.

[×] Rasengan [×]

Jiraiya's attack was almost reaching her. Jiraiya smiled as thought that the fight is over and assumed that the girl can't dodged the attack. But Mortred know that she can easily dodge it.

"Manta Style: Mirror Ima-"

[×] Quas + Quas + Exort [×]

Jiraiya just heard voice in his back but it didn't stop him from continuing the attack.

[×] Invoke!! [×]

[×] Killing Wall of Koryx [×]

Jiraiya's rasengan just hit something solid completely missing Mortred.

'Ice?' Jiraiya thought as he turn around and saw Karl with 2 blue and 1 red orbs floating beside him. 'This is probably the guy who made the ice. Does this guy had Kekkei Genkai? And what's with those orbs?' His head is full of questions.

Mortred though quickly retreated after being save by Karl.

"Thanks" All she just say as she walk closer beside Karl.

Karl sighed. "You have your fun now? Can we just find an Inn?" Karl said.

"What makes you think I'm doing this for fun?" She asked.

" Ohh you're not? My bad then for assuming that" Karl said teasingly.

"Fine! I'm having fun okay!?" Mortred said as she pouted.

As the two talk, the Konoha shinobi was also discussing what to do.

"They've regrouped. What should we do?" Asuma asked.

"Let's be more careful for now on. That guy can use ice. He had some kind of a kekkei Genkai. I'll attack first where you guys follow up. Kurenai, please notify Hokage about the problem here. " Jiraiya said where everybody nodded and remember their task. Kurenai jumped on the roof and started running toward the Hokage's Office. After Jiraiya saw Kurenai left, he then look at Naruto. "Time to show your improvement" Jiraiya said.

"Yes!! Pervy Sage" Naruto said as he focus on the couple who's still talking to each other. Although he hated being called "Pervy Sage" he just didn't reacted and just focus on their main task. Capturing the two.

"Well anyways, let's work together and escape for now" Karl said to Mortred.

She snorted. "Fine!!" The irretated assassin said.

"We will not let you escape the village" Asuma said as he raised his blades.

"Hmm? Who says that we're escaping out of the village? We're only escaping so we can finally found an Inn" Karl said to them. That sentence surprised everyone even the sannin.

"Well if you're saying the truth then it'd be easier for us" Jiraiya said. Both sides just look at each other waiting for someone to attack first.
