“Hey Komaru, what the tree say to the lumberjack?”
“ffs Lee, just stop with your lame jokes already, please, we need to get on to the mission, I want to be back before sundown!
“Yeah yeah, this one’s quick. Well, he said, please LEAF! Get it? it’s because - ”
“Just shut UP! I get it, you don’t have to explain it too! Don’t add insult to injury, you moron!”
Diamond Himitsu Lee curled up and fell to the ground laughing, rolling around on the grass of the clearing where they had stopped.
Which made Komaru even madder. Her face reddened like a tomato bathing in ketchup and she cursed at him.
Until a kunai was thrown at her squarely aiming between the shoulder blades.
Diamond was up in an instant, a deathly serious look replacing the hilarity that was previously on his face. He whipped out his own kunai and leaped towards the area the projectile was thrown from, just as Komaru used the substitution jutsu and the kunai safely lodged itself into a log.
Why were they getting attacked? This was just a B-Rank info transport mission. This was supposed to be chill! Lee had to finish this guy off quick so that he could go back to cracking jokes. He pinched the sides of his nostrils and waited for the sneeze to come. As soon as he felt the tremendous energy coming down his nose, he infused it with fire and wind chakra and blew it all out in an overpowered shinobi style sneeze.
Fire Style: Dragon’s Sneeze! The bush where the enemy was hiding was quickly reduced to ashes, along with the guy inside it who had thrown the kunai.
Diamond once again switched to his happy side and turned around. “Well Komaru, you could say that he was - ” His eyes widened. Right behind Komaru, was a second enemy, who in a fraction of a second, had his kunai against Komaru’s neck, and as she realized what happened, he shouted to Diamond: “Either you drop your kunai and put your hands on your head, or I kill your teammate like you did to mine!”
Diamond reluctantly dropped his kunai and placed his hands on his head. He had met Komaru at the beginning of the mission, but she was still a fellow shinobi of the Hidden Ash, and his duty was to protect her. He had to think fast. What to do? After half a second, he had made up his mind. He was going to have to do this well, and fast. He would activate his Flaming Fist, which would greatly increase his speed, and he would pounce on the rogue so fast he wouldn’t have time to slit his comrade’s neck. He clenched his fists, hoped he would get lucky, and leaped. Halfway through his jump, his chakra kicked in, surrounding him with an aura made up of fire and wind. He shot through the air towards his attacker, aiming for the enemy’s exposed shoulder.
He was fast. A blur.
He hammered into his enemy, and dashed him against a tree, freeing Komaru. His hands seared into his enemy’s shoulders.
Then, the rogue transformed into a puddle of water.
“Dafuq?? A water clone?? He’s that---“ Diamond turned around fast, looking for Komaru.
Too late. She looked on with a dazed expression, a kunai buried in her neck, and the real attacker behind her, a look of glee on his face.
Diamond didn’t think. He just flew towards his attacker faster than the eye could see, and in less than a second, hammered him with his Flaming Fist. The rogue was dead before he touched the ground.
But that didn’t revive Komaru.
Diamond rushed to her side. She was already dead.
How? How? How could he have not thought of this? He had let his comrade die! He had been useless! Now he had to go back to the village, and give the report that his comrade had died on a B-Rank mission?? He pounded the ground with his fists in anger.
After having calmed down, he cremated Komaru, and left the battlefield. He had to carry this scroll to the Land of Memes no matter what.
The Sun was just setting when Diamond finally started to head back to his village, when suddenly, a ninja clad in light-brown robes landed in front of him. What, another attacker? In a rage, Diamond attacked the man, but he easily repelled his punch and pushed him back. “I’m here peacefully..” He said.
“What do you want?” Diamond asked, rage still flickering in his eyes.
“I just want to… ask you something…” said the man.
“Ask me what? And who are you?” asked Diamond back, suspicious.
“Well, I’ve noticed you running around here lately, and I was wondering if you wanted to… join our little organization…”
“What organization? Why would I want to do that??”
“Well, while you are definitely not the strongest ninja around, you have some potential, and also, we happened to be recruiting at the moment. So, I thought, why not ask this fellow?”
“Why would I want to join your “little organization”? I have village duties, as well as clan ones too!”
“Well, you can of course keep your village duties, and for your information, our current leader, I, you and many other members happen to be from the Himitsu clan. And why would you want to join, well, simply to get stronger, of course…”
Diamond thought of Komaru, who he had not been able to save, and also all of the villagers of his hometown, who had been destroyed by that awful chakra beast. He couldn’t stay weak his whole life. He wanted to do something and not be completely powerless. Fine. He would join.
“Fine, I’ll join,” he stated. “But first, what’s your name, and what’s the name of this organization?
“My name is Ghost Himitsu, and I am a member of Heathen. If you apply, you are not guaranteed to be accepted, but you have good chances. Good luck”
And Ghost Himitsu leaped into the distant canopy.
A pepe croaked in a pond.
