Darkness Approaches


 * In order to test his new powers attained through two years of training under the Seijin, Minato was pitted against Satoshi Konishi. In a spar of explosions, tactics, and good old close-range melee, Minato soundly tied a score of 1 to 1. However, as their sensei had to leave to attend a meeting, they were ordered to clean up their mess. However, an evil is slowly approaching the temple...

Attack!
"Begin."

The first thing that was heard was from the explosions that had occurred from the mysterious men clad in black. Explosion after explosion, black smoke filled the air as sirens were heard from within the temple. Several low-ranked Seijin were scattered in alarm, one by one being struck down by these asassains.

The leader from before could only chuckle from the outside at the scene his men were causing. "The powerful Seijin... caught off guard so easily! Ha ha ha hahaha!" he would muse, slowly allowing himself to levitate from the ground in order to get a better view of the destruction.

Explosions rocked the ground, as both Minato and Satoshi immediately took notice of the earthquakes, losing their ground as their face reflected their surprise and shock.

"M-Minato, the hell's happening?!" Satoshi was the first to react, as Minato ran for the nearby window, catching view of the black smoke rising from the destroyed temple parts, flames igniting with each attack, following by fiercer earthquakes. "No clue, but we better get out there!"

Minato and Satoshi ran for the outside, as two of the black clad men approached them. With no hesitation, Satoshi drew his sword, cutting down both of the attackers. Both of the men fell to the floor, evident that the damage knocked them out.

"Minato, whatever's happening, we best be on our guard!" he advised.

But Minato's attention was elsewhere. Looking up, he noticed the leader of this attack, floating in the air above the temple.

"Satoshi... that guy. He's dressed differently than the two men who attacked us just now." Minato noted.

Satoshi noted the demeanour of the man who Minato pointed out. He looked much too content with the scene. And given his appearance, he wasn't just another lackey.

Minato then smiled. "Satoshi... he hasn't picked up on us. How about we... bring the fight to him?"

Satoshi could only grin. "Agreed."
