The Path Of A Ninja : Eyes Of Death & Body Of Life

"Hm? It seems like you need a bit of assistance. Leave it to be I shall end this, like a dream."

When the boy finished,the jounin who was fighting Kakashi got out of his stupor and said to the boy with the blue/pink eyes which really unnerved him.

"Who the heck are you kid? You don't seem like a ninja to me and most likely a stranger to them, so it's none of your business!"

By this time Minato had reached the place but hid himself due to the appearance of the white haired boy.

'That aura I sensed was from such a young boy? And from the changes in the surrounding, which the no one below seem to notice other than the fact that it looks beautiful, matches with the information accurately. But that would mean.....I need to be ready to teleport them at any sign of danger. Obito's wound looks fatal but it seems it didn't hit any vitals, otherwise he would not be awake right now.'

Hearing the ninja's question, the boy grew a faint smile, and from his next words one could clearly sense his amus.e.m.e.nt.

"I am the one who you people called the [Ninja's White Death]."

The faces the the 4 ninjas grew pale from what they just now heard. But one of them quickly recovered from his fear. He thought who could such a young boy be that terrifying [White Death].

So he gathered up his courage and shouted.

"You think that you can fool us that easily you brat! I'll teach you a lesson for scaring the shit outta me!" He dashed forward. But the boy just stood there as if nothing was happening.

Seeing the Jounin rushing towards the unconcerned boy worried Rin but her worries were proven wrong when suddenly all the petals that were falling started just stopped mid air, completely still.

[Wood Style: Petal Accel]

The Jounin at first had a mocking expression but when he realised how sharp the petals were when he brushed passed one, his instinct screamed at him to run. But to was already too late.

As if shot from a gun, the petals zoomed through the air and pierced the joints between the legs and arms, rendering them incapable of moving.

""Arrag!!"" thud* thud* thud* thud*

The forest was quiet again except for the heavy breathing the the trio. All were shocked at the ease the boy who looked no older than them took care of the 4 ninjas, even Minato. No one was abe to even move a muscle before they got incapacitated due to how fast and omni-directional the attack was. The silence was finally broken by the boy.

"Sigh~ No one even believes the truth now a days. Oh, and you can come out of hiding now since the battle is over."

Woosh* Minato appeared from the trees and landed between Rin and Kakashi, ready for battle.

"Now now, I have no intention to fight you guys, otherwise I wouldn't have helped in the first place."

"That's right Minato sensei, he had helped us so he must me a good person."

"Don't be so naive Rin. We are at war, where everyone could be our enemy who knows what ulterior motives he might have, especially because he have no reason to help us."

"Kakashi too? But.." Rin felt it was not right, showing hostility to someone who just helped you. While Obito just lied down on his stomach, feeling too painful to move.

"Kakashi is absolutely right Rin, first we must determine why he helped you. Then we'll decide what to do from there."

"I'm right here you know." The boy interrupted, with the same smile he had when fight began.

"But I understand your reasons so I don't really mind your behaviour. Also, before anything else I'll just quickly patch up your friend over there. Actually I'll do that for the Scarecrow and Turtle as well."

"Turtle? Are you referring that to me?"(Rin)

"Why Scarecrow?" Said Kakashi, looking dissatisfied with the nickname he received.

[Wood Style: Flower of Avalon]

A pretty white flower sprouts near Obito, Rin and Kakashi. It releases its pollens which glows like fireflies.

"What are you doing? If you tried to harm my students-" Minato's words dies on its own as he watches it land on their every wound, visibly healing his wounds.

"Aaand, done. Tell me, how do you feel?"

"I feel amazing! All the pain as gone, thank you!" Obito thanked the boy as he got up to check himself, his teammates does the same.

"Thank you." Says Rin while Kakashi doesn't say anything but becomes a little less guarded.

"Your most welcome." He then looks at Minato.

"You asked me why I helped the Trio right?"

"Yes."

"I helped them because, it was not their time to die." He smiled mysteriously.

"How would you even know that? You should really stop making this nonsense up."

Minato was really doubting the boy's words. You really can't blame him, who would believe it if a stranger says he saved you just because it was not your time to die? And the from the boy's next words, he too was aware of it.

"I know you doubt my words, and that is fine. But if you really want the proof that I mean no harm. I can give you a few of them. Tell me, you have a toad summoning contract right?"

"What of it?"

"I know the senile old frog in Mount Myoboku and his prophecy."

Minato eyes widen a bit in surprise by the boy's words. He was really surprise because the existence of The Great Toad Sage though was not exactly a secret, but only by personally meeting the Great Toad Sage would one know about his nature of him being a bit....absentminded at times. Not to mention the boy even knew about the prophecy."

"Willing to trust me now?"

"Yes, and sorry about that." said Minato looking a bit sorry.

Minato's sudden change in stance caused the trio to feel much surprise. Since they did not know the importance of the boy's words.

"For someone to know about The Great Toad Sage and the Prophecy. I can trust you since no untrustworthy will know about both of them."

Rin and Obito gave out a breath of relieve since they did not wanted to fight the boy while Kakashi relaxed his guard.

"Perfect, now hold on for a moment."

[Wood Style:Flower of Avalon]

Multiple white flowers sprouted around the 4 Ninjas, Healing all their wounds.

"Why did you heal them! They are our enemies which tried to kill us!"

Obito said, clearly not happy while Minato asked through his eyes.

"Well you know what happens to the people who encounter [White Death] aka me right?"

Then it dawned on everyone just how infamous the boy in front them was, even though he looked younger than them. Which brought the question-

"How do you seal their ability to use chakra?" Rin asked full of curiosity.

"Hm? You want to know?"

nod* nod* The rest too were clearly interested.

He quietly whispered but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"It's....."

"It's?"

"It's Magic~"

Thud*

Everyone slipped on the ground.

Rin pouted while the boys were a bit annoyed for falling to such a lame trap. While Miato just sweatdropped.

"Mou! I am being serious!"

"I am being serious too." Even though he said those words he had a smile which said 'Got you~'.

After all the conversation was over, the boy decided to was time to end the day.

"Yawn~ Now that everything has calmed down, why don't you guys come to my home to rest for the night. Chang'e must be getting worried about me."

" I guess we'll take up on that offer. There might be more [Rock] Ninjas around so we'll need a proper place to rest."

Just as he was about to the lead the way,Rin asked a sudden question.

"Um , who is Chang'e?"

He answered with a aboreable smile fitting of his age. 'So cute!'

"Hm? Oh, Chang'e you see, is my partner Rabbit."

With that the boy Body Flickered towards his home while the rest followed did the same.
