Shortly after the criminal with red hair left Konoha, he ventured down the path that headed to the place where the rich mobster lived. Rukasu knew not to go in to stay for dinner. He intended on walking in and out with a job to do so he they could pay him, and he would not be in trouble with the people from Konoha again. Rukasu knew now that he must stay in the shadows in order to stay alive. His life was more important than anything and luckily he just taken into prison and not executed. This was something that somewhat worried the criminal since he now had plans for the future and being alive was priority number one. Since he was in prison, he learned a lot from loyalty and bonds to backstabbing and loneliness. However, he was able to keep to himself most of the time while every thought that was process was analyze to understand more about himself and life itself.

Travelling down the path, he felt the peace return to his heart, where it was quiet, calming beauty. This helped him keep a clear mind for whatever was to come ahead of him in this journey. This criminal was ready for anything that came in his way. He knew what he must do and what he needed to do. Now that he was going to do things to get himself, ready. Ready for what you might ask? That is something you will have to wait and see what the future has in store for you.

The criminal was close, and he quickly remembered that he did not looked this way before he met this guy, so he hope there would not be any problems walking to this place. Slow approaching the place where the mobster had his hideout, but as soon as he was getting closer to the building the guards noticed him. They quickly got to their defenses, as they were cautious of anything that passed through. They quickly demanded for Rukasu to stop about ten feet away. They asked him a question about his concerns with this area. Like why was he roaming around these parks alone? The criminal smiled evilly, answered the guards, by telling them that he knows the boss, and would like to speak with him. The guards were skeptical at first until one of them looked above and noticed that the boss was at ta window of this giant place. This place where Rukasu did not pay much attention to this place but if he were to describe it. Well he could state with just by looking at it from afar and now ten feet away. He would say that it was about four stories high.

All white, and fancy and clean for some odd reason. This was something the represented as a good guys place. In addition, the people in this world can be both good and evil by the actions that they commit. Since a good person is more than capable of committing a crime as much as a good person committing a selfless action.  Rukasu learned that in Bachi Prison, as he knew that no one should judge others but would not matter as much if they did it without reason. It was something that people needed to understand before venturing out into the real world. The criminal knew not to make any mistakes but at the same time, he knew that a simple mistake would be able to help him growing into a stronger person than he ever was just by learning from it.

The guard that was looking at the boss noticed that the boss signaled his entrance, so the guards nodded and let the red-haired criminal into the building. Once in the building the criminal noticed guards left and right and down the hall. He had to get inside and he knew that the guards would let him pass since someone of great power left him walk into the building with no harm. The boss could have been kind heart but something else was up. There was no way that the boss would let just anyone walk into the building without a catch. Rukasu kept his guard up since he did not know what was going to happen but he was sure if something did then he will do his best to stop it at all cost.

After reaching the door at the end of the hall, Rukasu opened it and noticed that it was stairs leading to the boss. Walking up each step, he noticed that someone was bothering him. This feeling as if someone was either watching him or planning a chance to attack the king of snakes. After a few minutes, the criminal reached the last door before making up his mind about this guy that has everyone by a string. Once in the room he walked forward a few more steps, and then stopped completely. He looked at the guy and this person was the same person from back then. It had been a while since they last seen and from the looks of it; this person bought another place and most likely made a lot more money.

Whatever the case may be, Rukasu came for one thing only and that was for a job. Rukasu needed to do this so he could make a name for himself in the near future quicker. The guy assumed that Rukasu was there for a job but he looked at the red haired guy with so much confusion. He remembered the sword behind him but he remembered someone wielded the blade was a shinobi with white hair. The guy asked Rukasu about the shinobi with white hair and this was where Rukasu Laughed. He ended up telling the guy about a short story what had happen. The guy for some reason believed his story as he threw a piece of paper at the Criminal.

The paper stated to steal some documents from a place not to far from hear, and make sure that the person taking this mission brings back the documents to the boss. Once Rukasu read what he needed to read, he nodded at the guy, gave the papers to the guard next to him and walked out of the room. Soon he was out of the building, as he had set out to venture to the place where he was going to steal the documents. This place was already coordinated in the papers given to him. Rukasu only needed to look at them once so that he would have to carry the papers everywhere he went. He knew where he was going and soon he will be able to figure out a plan about this job.

After a few hours of travelling the criminal reached the place where he was going to start he knew that the person was located so he could start his job. The criminal was sitting on a tree branch as he watched from afar as he notice a building of only three stories high. Two guards in front of the entrance and two more one of each side of the building. This could be difficult but since Rukasu already knew how to be quiet, it would be an easier job if he could see inside the building. The criminal looked around for the perfect opportunity as he watched closely; he just could not tell what was inside due to the windows covered with black objects or something of the sort.

Now that Rukasu seen what the front of the building looked like. He already knew what he was going to do and that was just to get in without someone noticing him. It was closely to that time and this was something Rukasu was waiting for since they put him in that prison long ago. Rukasu slowly closed his eyes.

Now that it is time, I have to keep focused no matter who is in this building. I have to make sure I follow through this job no matter what it takes. Rukasu thought to himself as he readied himself for his first move. He knew that the mist would be a major distraction and a certain obvious clue that someone is about to attack. So now, Rukasu had to use his smarts without his trusted mist to help him get into the building with ease. This was going to be a mission of pure stealth and then use the mist later if he really wanted to.

The criminal waited patiently as he watched the guards walk back and forth in a certain pattern, and this pattern was actually simple since they were walking back and forth about a few feet. However, what made it difficult was the way they were walking so they would not leave any blind spots. However, Rukasu was not stupid and knew that he could find a way no matter how but he knew he could. His plan after he got in the building was to sneak until notice then use brute force if need be. Rukasu knew that he would have to utilize his speed first and then his stealth to make sure, that his plan would not erupted in flames.

Something instantly came to his mind as he could not believe he had not thought about this before, dropping down from the tree to the ground unnoticed, he grabbed a small pebble and once the guard that had his back turn, he threw the rock at him. The rock hits the guard in the back of the head, gets angry and starts fighting the other guard that was behind him but he also had his back turn. The other two guards heard the commotion and rushed over to check out what was the problem. This was now Rukasu's chance as he utilized his speed and stealth to get across as quickly as he could through the area without being notice and then he reached to the door. He opened the door and quickly got inside. Rukasu completed his first plan, and now it was phase two. Rukasu was now able to create havoc, destruction, and despair to the people in this building. The excitement rose quickly as the criminal ran to the nearest wall and put his back to it, as he heard footsteps walked by. Still unnoticed, it was time to start what he came there to do.

Now that Rukasu was in, he will be able to get what he came for and have a little fun with the guards.  

Behind the wall, the criminal looked from the corner of his eye to see how many guards were there in this floor, since he had about two more floors to go until he reached the top. This was going to be easy but with a challenge. A Challenge that he had accepted a long time ago since the urge to kill was in him for so long. The criminal thought about it for a moment on how to start his pursuit in this first floor. Should he go silently into each floor killing everyone or at least knocking them out? That was his first option, which made sense but he also thought about going hard or just going home. Two options were available to him, as he did not care about whichever he choose, but at the same time he did not care how it was done,  he just wanted to kill .

Therefore, now that he had finished thinking, he was now going to start his killing spree. He had already notice four guards walking around, and he waited for the right moment to strike. One guard walked passed the wall that Rukasu was behind, and this was the right moment. The criminal grabbed the guard, brought him close to the darkness, and snapped his neck. He placed the body on the ground so that the guards would not hear anything. Rukasu wanted to get to the next floor without noticing anything. He figured that if the guards up stairs found out about someone in the building then they all would rush downstairs. This would not be a problem but Rukasu did not want to have to fight everyone at once. The criminal now got one of the guards was down; it was time to get the other three.

The guards still did not notice that the other one was gone since they thought he went to the bathroom, as he always does. They did not even check however, they were all stuck on talking to each other about their boring lives as guards. It was a great moment to strike all three but Rukasu had other plans in mind when it comes to having fun. First, the criminal knew that if he wanted to bust through without noticing, he would have to separate them so that it would be an easy job however, Rukasu also like to make things difficult for him. Therefore, he hit the wall softly, and this did not alert the guards yet until Rukasu hit the wall again. The guards were a little confused and on the edge since they were, ignoring it because they thought that the fourth guard was messing with them. After a few seconds of repeating the noise, one of the guards went to check things out as he walked over to the wall. The criminal had already taken out his sword.

Once the guard walked in front of Rukasu, he thrust the sword against the guy's throat. The guard's head fell to the ground and that is when the other two guards heard the sound. They drew their weapons out but it was too late. Rukasu used his speed to get in front of the guard on the right and pierce his blade through his heart. Now the third guard was frantic as he was about to run but was too scared to even move. The criminal grabbed his hair tightly so the guy would drop his weapon. Then the criminal bites the guy on the neck sucking out the blood out of the guy. Of course, the guy was screaming in pain so to shut the guy up, the criminal backed off a little bit and sliced his head off.

The first time he tasted blood, and this was something that he would never do but it became an interest out of the sudden. Licking his lips as he wanted more, more blood to satisfy his thirst, and this was something that he just wanted. Now trying it, he loved the taste of blood. The insanity grew quickly as he started laughing aloud. Opening the door and walking up the stairs. There was blood on his face, and his eyes were full of lust. He wanted more of this feeling inside of him. He felt that with this he would be able to feel more in control with whatever he was facing in his life.

The criminal opened the door and all five guards looked at him, with confusion and the look on their faces with disgust when they noticed the blood on his face and body. "Are you all ready to die, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Rukasu said as they all put up their guards to make sure that this guy don't try to pull anything. They did not know what was going to come to them neck.

All of the guards looked at him as if he was the spawn of Satan himself. They were scared to move but their duties to protect this place and their boss were number one on their list. They could not run since Rukasu was blocking the only way out. They all knew that they had to defeat the intruder before he reached to the next floor. Even though there were two more floors to do they still could not let the guy pass? Rukasu had this evil look on his face with so much blood lust, that his aura was showing greatly. The aura around Rukasu was black and very deadly since the criminal's eyes widened but his eyes were very small. The criminal licking his lips wanted to kill more and more as the time passed by. Rukasu just slowly walked forward to the group ahead of him. There were five guards shaking in fear as the criminal walked closer to the guards as they each held on to their swords tighter.

The guards did not know what the criminal was going to do next but they kept their guard up knowing that this guy was capable of doing anything. The criminal walked closer to the guards while holding his favorite giant sword. It was so quiet you could hear the guard’s heart beat at a fast rate because slowly their fear was going to overcome them. Once the criminal was close enough, one of the guards swung at the criminal, but Rukasu quickly dodged it. That was the start when all the guards started to attack but Rukasu kept on dodging. With each dodge, the criminal evil blood intent was growing rapidity. Until the time was ready, Rukasu swung his blade upward, which ended up slicing the guard in front of him in half. Each guard took a step back as they watched the insane intruder laughing aloud.

One of the guards took it as an opportunity as he then quickly punched the intruder in the face. Excited that he landed a hit he rejoiced by turned around and jumping up and down with joy. However, what the guy did not realize that Rukasu was right behind him staring at him. In the next few moments the other guards tried to warn him but it was too late as the blade goes through the guards stomach in a vertical then the blade was swung upward to actually split the guy in half. The other guards could not believe their eyes when they just witnessed what Rukasu had done. One guy backed up quickly as he yelled at the others to get out of this place but it was too late since Rukasu used his speed to get in front of the guards. With nowhere to run, the guards fell to the ground pleading the intruder to spare their lives. However, Rukasu would never spare anyone lives as he then started slashing at all of them like crazy. With blood going every after each time the blade went through the bodies.

Laughing insanely as there was blood all over the intruder but that was no matter to the guy since he prefer having the blood of the people he had killed all over his body since he felt he was bathe in a pool full of all the enemies in the world. The criminal felt great as if another door of insanity opened up allowing him to let go of his normal self. Laughing aloud, not caring about anything or anyone.

HAHAHAHAHA I feel great, maybe I will have fun before I leave this place, Rukasu thought to himself. As he walk to the next door that will bring him to the third floor. Guards were already in place since they heard many noises from the lower levels. In the third floor still people of the same rank so they really did not pose a threat so wasting chakra could be waste but Rukasu did not care because he wanted to have fun. This type of sun was dangerous for others to try. There was one light on the stairway that leads to the third floor. The criminal knew how to have fun and he did by destroying the light to put him in pure darkness. Rukasu leaned up against the wall near the door; he could hear everyone there waiting for someone to open the door. They already knew he was coming since Rukasu was actually being loud with each step that he had taken for each step going up the stairway. Once near the door, the insane criminal started forming a series of hand seals.

Wonder How Rukasu is going to handle the Third floor against those Guards.

The door opened slowly and the guards only saw darkness as they quickly started throwing many shurikens. Rukasu knew something like this was going to happen, but what the guards did not know would be their downfall. After a minute of throwing, the stars at the darkness passed the door. They stopped thinking that that got whoever was coming up the stairs. One of the guards signaled another guard to check if someone was still alive beyond the door. The guard was walking closer to the door, as it was quiet. The guard was very cautious as he took each step closer very slowly and hesitation. Once he got close enough the guard took a deep gulp as he slowly bend over so he could check, but it was too late for the guard to react since a big snake pop out of the darkness, wraps around the neck of the guard and snaps it. Killing the guard in the process as it quickly charges at the other guards. A few more snakes also quickly followed, charging at the guards to wrap the guards. The guards couldn't move, even when they tried to attack the snakes but their fear from the unknown kept them frozen.

Rukasu walked out and the open as he started laughing. The guard’s eyes widen in fear as they saw this guy covered in blood laughing loudly for no reason. From that moment, they knew that they were going to die by the hands of a mad man. The snakes kept their grip on the guards slowly squeezing them. Rukasu could hear the bones slowly cracking and the guards screaming in pain. You could hear their screams from the fourth floor, which was something that the criminal wanted no matter what. He wanted to put fear into the guy in charge so that he will do anything possible to stay alive...

Meanwhile on the fourth floor the guy in charge was sweating as he told his only guard to protect him no matter what. The guard nodded as he clenches the handle of his sword tightly. The guy in charged smiled, as he had expected someone to charge in and attack them so he had taken measures in his own hands. He hired a guy to protect him. This guy was as strong as Rukasu and was great at killing people as well as Rukasu. The guard did not know who was coming but he knew that he must stop the intruder no matter what happens. This guard could probably go toe to toe with Rukasu and the guy in charge was fully aware that this guy was more than capable to do the job. He felt safer than worrying about what was going to happen. His evil greedy grin was the only thing that was showing from him as he waited to see who was coming up the stairs.

In the next few moments, he heard screams so loud that put chills down the guy in charge's spine. Taking a big gulp, he slowly waited for the person responsible to show himself and to die in front of him. He quickly looked over to the guard as he started to wonder if it was a good decision to only higher one experience guard. More sweat rush down the boss's face as it felt as if the time was slowly passing and all he could hear were screams by his trusted henchmen. This was irritating the boss as he was going to go crazy since those screams were from his henchmen and it felt as if those screams were right next to him.

Back to what Rukasu was doing, as he watched all the snakes squeeze the life out of those guards. After a few moments those guards finally died. The snakes returned into Rukasu's sleeve, and then the criminal looked at the door that would lead him to where the boss was located. The evil insane criminal walked over to the door, his eyes looked down at the dead guards with blood coming out of their eyes mouth and nose. This just made the criminal chuckle as their deaths amused the criminal so much he got even more excited to find out what was going to be on the fourth floor. The criminal opened the door and walked up the stairs, once he got to the door that was on the fourth floor. He opened it.

In a quick movement, the guard charged so quickly that it almost got Rukasu off guard. The guard went to punch the intruder in the face but only grazed the criminal as they both taken steps backward.

"So you are the intruder, now you will die for what you have done. HAHAHAHA" The boss said as even though he was talking as if he was not worried, he was. This guy was so worried that so much sweat was protruding from his face. The guard taken out his sword and got into stance right in front  of Rukasu about five feet away. Rukasu was leaning against the wall as he looked at his new opponent with this crazy look upon. Rukasu could not believe that someone like him would be here guarding the boss, but this also made the job more challenging which helped Rukasu not to get bored.

Holding his giant sword in his hand ready for battle, they both opponents glared at each other. The guard was calm, serious and focused. The guard looked like his followed the way of the sword all his life as he was just holding a katana. The guard eyes were narrow but not evil; he simply knew what it was like to kill so his eyes were those of a wanderer just earning his way around. This guy simply looked smart and would do anything to get the job done.

Rukasu on the other hand was more insane than he was when he entered the building. His eyes widen, as his eyeballs were small only focusing on the man with the sword. He was hoping to have a good challenge and now that this challenge was now worthy for the existence of Rukasu to live another day. It was about time to see what was going to happen.

The battle will soon begin and this mission will come to its climax.

Both opponents holding their blades tightly as they both glared at each other. Watching each other very closely and making sure that every movement counts. Since Rukasu could already tell that this guy was on a different level than the people he had originally killed earlier. The guy in charge was growing impatient as he watched to see what was going happen. No sound heard, or created as their eyes locked at each other's movements making sure that if the other made a single gesture, the fight was under way. However, either both stood still quietly as if they were analyzing each other by the way their stances were or they were actually fighting each other in their minds. Who knows what was going on because for a while no one was moving?  

Five minutes went by and the nervous guy in charge was now really impatient and angry, "HEY! I did not pay you to watch him all freaking day! Kill HIM NOW!" The yelled as Rukasu and the swordsman did not even bother to notice the guy talking since this battle was about them two and no one else. Rukasu watched this guy with this blood lust that had completely taken over him for the time being and he just stared at the guy not moving because he was not provoked at that particular moment. The insane criminal felt as if he lost his grip to the reality that would hold him down but he liked it better that way. Even thought it would most likely be only for a couple of hours. When in this state, all reason goes out the window and human life is worthless to him.

"HEY! You! ANSWER ME WHEN I AM TALKING TO...” The guy said but he quickly interrupted when the guy slowly turned his head to look at the guy with only one eye. The guy in charge, gulped as he looked down to see the very sword against his neck.

"One more word out of you and I will kill you no matter what." The swordsman said to his boss, and that really did quiet the guy. Then after a brief moment the guy looked back at Rukasu in a bit of confusion but that was not going to stop the swordsman, as they both nodded and quickly charged at each other. Clashing swords, glaring into each other's eyes, then they pushed each other back and charged again. Both weapons yet again clashed, and the two were no going to give up no matter what the cost may be when defending their family name.

After another moment clashing swords, they were picking up the speed, clashing left and right. Not showing any means to stop or give up. They were going to plan on fighting for hours. With each clash showing a few sparks and during the fight Rukasu kept on getting more and more excited, as he could not believe that there was this much fight in one guy. Slowly he understood that maybe this guy needed the money since it was clearly he was not evil just fighting for a purpose.

What was Rukasu's purpose in his life at this moment, and was this purpose worth living? Rukasu had wondered a lot of this for even a long time. He started thinking about it when he was in prison and this was something he actually was grateful for since he was able to open his mind and see things for what they truly really are. He could already tell that this guy was holding back as much as Rukasu was and since them, both figured that out right after a few clashing with the sword, it was as if this battle was nothing.

One final clash and Rukasu had an urge to start to talk, "HEHEHEHE, you really think you have what it takes to defeat me swordsman. I will like you to fight against me right now. Show me what your true potential." In an instant Rukasu opened his mouth and out came out his tongue getting very long wrapping around the opponent's neck. The guy slowly dropped his guard as he dropped the sword to the ground. He felt helpless at that moment and losing air by the minute. He knew that he was going to die and nothing was going to done. Rukasu squeezed tighter around his neck, and that is when the opponent had enough as he quickly kicked Rukasu in the gut. That was when Rukasu had let go of his grip and then the opponent powerhouse kicked him again in the gut.

This pushed the criminal back a few feet. That kick triggered Rukasu to go ahead and not give a crap what happens to this place. The insane criminal started to laugh aloud as his eyes still kept at this guy that looked as if he was far superior but it was as if he acted that way to show off. Rukasu laughed even more making an excuse about getting hit. Rukasu kept on laughing as he form a few hand signs and charged again as the swordsman got to his defensive as he blocked Rukasu's sword with his sword again. Rukasu knew that was going to happen when the swords connected, two snakes came out of his wrist and bite the swordsman on each side of the neck. The guy grunted in pain, as he could not move for a moment. The guy notice a third snake coming from the other side of the sleeve going straight to wrap his neck around however in a quick succession the swordsman was now behind Rukasu holding his sword to the insane criminal's neck. However in that same moment two snakes were about five inches away hissing at the opponent to back off.

Rukasu was not going to leave his back open as he jumped forward a bit and the snakes went back in the wrist. Then he quickly turned around to charge in for another attack. The guy in charge could not keep up with them and with that, he was getting angry. He wanted to know who was winning and he wanted to make sure, that the intruder would end up dead for sure. They both kept on fighting clashing their swords at each other to see who the better swordsmen were. However no progress was being made so they knew they would still have to up it another notch. Rukasu thought for a moment as he figure that he would most likely win if he used Ninjutsu but he also knew that he must end this before thing get out of hand. Rukasu kept on attacking with his sword, clashing and clashing but something was wrong. In a second, that must of passed when Rukasu was too much into his own thoughts to worry about the opponent using his sword to go in between Rukasu's blade where the inside of the hook and flung it to the other side of the room.

Rukasu's eyes widen now shock that the opponent had found an opening before Rukasu even laid a scratch on this swordsman. Rukasu had to figure out something quick before he goes on the offensive. However, the opponent's sword was already pointing at Rukasu's neck. "I will kill you if you don't leave right now. I am giving you this one and only chance to get out of here so that you can see another day. Do you accept to my terms?" The swordsman said as he glared at Rukasu with a serious face. This guy was no fun and game, he knew what he was doing and he was not going to let this guy get in the way with his purpose.

"HEY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? KILL HIM NOW, YOU STUPID BRAT!" The guy in charge yelled a few more words at his henchmen and still the swordsman ignored his boss once again. This made the guy more furious as he stood up and slammed his hands on the desk in front of him. “IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME I WILL HAVE YOU KILLED YOU LOW LIFE BASTARD!" The guy yelled as he could not take it being ignored, so the guy grabbed a little pocket knife from his pocket and charged ahead to kill Rukasu. In the next few moments, the guy was so close in making contact with Rukasu but the swordsman ended up right in front of the guy pointing his sword at the guy in charge's neck. His serious looked was now more determined than ever as his blade actually was touching the neck of his boss.

"You should have been grateful that I was ignoring you, and now you want to interfere on my fight then you did not need me. So I quit but since you are not my boss, you can’t tell me what to do. In addition, this is still my fight and I plan to end this fight no matter what you do. However I do suggest that you be patient." The swordsman said as he quickly turned around to finish his fight with the insane criminal. The guy in charged was so angry that he went to stab the guy he hired but in a second right before the small knife connected, the swordsman swung his blade around to slice the guy's neck off but also Rukasu had his job to do so he quickly got in between them stopping both attacks. The swordsman was a bit shocked and confused. So what the boss as they both looked at the insane criminal.

"First, I need those documents and I am not going to let you kill each other without telling me. Also I am planning on finishing our fight after I find out where the documents are." Rukasu said as he chuckled a little but the swordsman didn't say a word but the guy in charge had a lot to say about how Rukasu had no right to get those documents. He kept talking louder and louder and it was getting so annoying that Rukasu turned around and walked away from that. As he walked away, the swordsman quickly sliced off the guy's head off while he was yelling. Then he looked at Rukasu as the insane criminal had stopped walking and turned his head a little.

"I know about the documents you speak of since I see them a few times, however to get them you must defeat me. You do not have to trust me but I am telling you that you have my word. Once you defeat me in battle then I will show you where it is. Don’t hold back since now the real battle begins." The swordsman said as Rukasu had skipped a heartbeat. His emotions were going crazy, as he had not seen anyone kill another right in front of him. He was so turned on by it, however he was not gay or anything like that it was just that when he notice this guy taking a life and Rukasu had nothing to do with it drove him crazy with insanity. Turning around completely he shown his true emotions, which were a giant evil smile from ear to ear, and his eyes widen but his eyeballs small. He started laughing even more loudly than ever as one of his hands that were free from holding the handle covered his face while he laughed.

After pulling himself together a little, his face still covered except for his eyes that glared at his opponent. "I accept your challenge." Rukasu said as he got into his stance and so did the opponent. The final battle was now about to commence.

Now that Rukasu had accepted this challenge to fight this swordsman, he knew that he would most likely use everything in his personal to defeat this guy and defeating this guy was going to be a tough one since they were on the same level. Both of their swordsmanship, skills equally matched each other, so it came down to who can wield the sword better. The two were about ten feet away from each other, as they glared at each other. Now that it was quiet between them as time slowly passed as they watched each other. This battle was worth it as both were very serious however, Rukasu still did not grab his sword and the insane criminal looked over at his sword. Rukasu knew that the opponent would try that same trick again if he was not careful and this time would be his last if that were to happen again.

The opponent then told Rukasu that he could go grab his sword to start this battle however the insane criminal denied the offer as he taken out his big scroll and opened it. He then told the opponent that this weapon made especially for him and he told him that he was going to defeat him in battle. Rukasu then formed a hand seal as a white puff of smoke appeared, as he put both his hands into the smoke and grabbed the two weapons that were in the little white smoke. Rukasu held up his two blades as he got into his stance. These two blades with snakes on the handle only made for Rukasu and this was actually the first time using his new weapon. Now that Rukasu was ready, the battle was not set to begin.

Having two blades was better than one and he wanted the opponent to think about that first so his backup plan would work completely. Now that everything was ready it was time to fight, so who was going to make the first move. Who knew who was going to win and who knew what was going to happen. The criminal vs the swordsmen, a battle in which anything could happen. The opponent ready himself as well as Rukasu and then in an instant both charged at each other. All blades clashed as they glared in each other eyes, then they backed off a little bit. This kept on going on for the next few minutes as the blades kept on clashing. Rukasu used both of his blades to attack this guy left and right. However, the guy kept on blocking and dodging. This kept on going on for a while as both speed and strength utilized in each attempt to hit another. Their skills with the sword were still matching perfectly. However, both were feeling the effects of the fighting as they both backed off breathing heavily.

Rukasu wondered if he should use his trump card yet but he still was not ready but he knew that he must make sure he stays on top before the guy in front of him finds out a way to outsmart him. They both did not want to lose, since this battle was more than just winning or losing. Their skills put to the test to see who the better fighter was. No matter if it came down to a draw one must surrender and say that the other person is the better fighter. Rukasu was very stubborn for even trying to give up at all. Rukasu had too much pride and so did the other guy. Rukasu charged at the guy again with more determination to win at any cost. Rukasu did not even care what would happen to him he needed to win. It was life or death and Rukasu was not the one to lose his life so easily. He would never dare to approach this fight if it meant certain death. He knew he had a mission to do and when this guy appeared he also knew that he would have to go all out in order to win no matter what.

Rukasu used his right hand slashing downward then quickly spinning his left to the left where the left hand went to stab the guy with the bottom the handle where the small blade was located. However, the opponent backed off quickly and charged at Rukasu, thrusting his body into his stomach. This was clearly a perfect hit, which pushed the insane criminal back a bit, and this triggered his insanity even more. This insanity was very unpredictable as no one could really follow Rukasu when he is in this state. In an instant after being hit he laughed aloud, charging in and swinging his blades at his opponent like crazy. The opponent almost felt overwhelmed, as each attack coming from Rukasu was stronger than before since the insane criminal was actually using his strength. Rukasu had a giant smile on his face, and his eyes wide open once again. It was like he was not tired at all, but what he did not know was that he was using more energy than he should when being a swordsman, so the opponent just kept on blocking, but he kept on getting a few cuts here and there.

The fight kept on going with each side getting there hits in and no side seems to be falling. The insane criminal used his emotions to fighting someone that is clearly serious all the time during this fight. Both with a purpose to win in order to grow, as if they were born rivals to fight in order to reach the next level in their quest. Both got in one small cut each as they both backed away from each other as they were breathing heavily. Now they have to get serious since they warmed each other up in this battle, and they both knew that this was the perfect opportunity. The swordsman stabs his blade into the ground and Rukasu threw his blades into the air, then they both started performing hand seals. What moves did they have in mind at this very moment? Now reaching the climax of this battle the two will find out who is better in this fight. A fight worth fighting for, and for them to prove to themselves and to each other that no matter what side you are on, you can still fight a decent fight.

After both sides finished forming their hand seals, the opponent expelled a fireball straight at Rukasu and the criminal shot out a torrent of water straight to the opponent. They both fought well in this battle as they both earned a mutual respect for each other. Rukasu quickly looked up as the blades were still in the air and he knew that it was now time to start the second attack. If he didn't use this opportunity to start, his next move then he will most like fail this fight. The opponent had the same thought as well as they both watched the fire and water about to clash. They both started forming another set of hand seals for their next attack. Once the elements clashed, since water over powered fire it produced a steam that covered the entire room. That was when both sides acted as the opponent grabbed his blade and coated it with a fire that looked like the blade was on fire. Rukasu stuck his hands out and caught the blades and once they were in his hands, they started to glow a bright light all around the blade.

Next thing they both bended their knees forcing chakra to their feet for the next attack which could be their last attack. Rukasu knew how to use both his speed and strength and the opponent only had his speed to help him. In the next instant, they both charged at each other going to the straight kill shot. To them everything felt as if time was slowing down, they entered the steam, once close enough they glanced at each other  and for a moment right before they attack they saw something. This was as if they see themselves for a moment and then within that moment they noticed what they would have to work on for the future. In an instant, the sound of blades slashing was so loud that in the end it was hard to tell who won. Both on the opposite sides with their backs facing each other as they waited to see who was going to fall first. It was silent for a few moments no one said a word, as this was the final test to see who was going to fall. It was not easy to tell who lost the battle or who won.  It was one of those moments right before the attack, both fighters enter this realm, a realm where it was all white around them, and they just stared at each other. They fully respected each other and this battle helped give them both the experience that they needed to grow.

In the next moment, the opponent fell to the ground, and then Rukasu fell to his knees. The insane criminal notice minor injuries but as for the opponent's cut was a bit deep but since the blades were coated with electricity it connected against a certain part of his body a little below a lethal blow. However, the shock paralyzed him and affected the organs around the cut. Rukasu slowly got up and walked over to the guy, he looked down at him as the guy looked up at him.

"If you want to kill me, go ahead. The documents are in the first drawer in his desk. You won, and I am glad I found someone skillful as you." The swordsman said as he was breathing heavily, but he thought he was going to die, and he also thought the criminal would kill him. Rukasu put his swords back into the scroll and then walked over to grab his giant sword and put it on his back.

"HAHAHA I'm good, I already killed everyone here. You killed someone here too and that was a shock to me. You sparked my interest and I am going to keep you alive so that we can both meet again. The next time we meet, we will be stronger and the battle will be fiercer. What do you say? Will you live your life from now on to get stronger to defeat me?" Rukasu said as the opponent nodded. Since this opponent was skillful and showed Rukasu a great time. He wasn't just going to leave him where he was so he walked over to the desk and picked up the documents. Then the criminal picked up the opponent and left the building with him. The opponent was confused as he really thought this criminal was evil and he thought that everything he did today was just pure evil and not justly.

"Why are you helping me leave this place?" The guy said as Rukasu glanced over to the guy smiled and looked back ahead.

"The truth is that you’re not evil, everyone in that building was bad people and you’re the only one that is good even though you killed someone. However I also killed so I am not here to judge and plus I don't want you to take the blame for something I have done." Rukasu said as they opened the main door. The one thing Rukasu forgot was the few people outside of the building and they all called for reinforcements. There were a good twenty people ready for Rukasu to walk out the building holding weapons and such. Rukasu placed the guy on the ground against building. "So your boss called for you guys before I even had the chance to kill him. Wonderful, I will give you all to the count of three to leave. One....... Two........ Three...... oh well" Rukasu said as all of them started charging at Rukasu, and this was so much out in the open that the criminal knew he would get caught so he formed his hand seal, the mist appeared and he grabbed his giant sword. Using his stealth and speed, he slashed at everyone. One by one killing them all in the mist and then after all those deaths he dragged them one by one into the building. He then looked at the guy on the ground. "Can you still use one more move?" Rukasu said as the guy nodded and the insane criminal slowly picked him up and helped him stand straight up so he could perform the right hand signs.

After the hand signs they formed the swordsman expelled fire from his hands and mouth straight at that house so that it could burn everything there leaving no traces behind. Rukasu loved how the fire engulfed the building as they watched it burn to the ground. Due to the fire, the mist will soon disappear so Rukasu brought the guy as far away from the building as possible and left him by a nearby tree. "Remember to get stronger so we can face again." Rukasu said as they guy thanked him and then the criminal kept on walking straight back to the place where he received the mission. It was not a far walk since they were rival companies going after each other so a very long time and with this the criminal wanted to destroy them as well. However, he knew that his money came from them so he would always spare their lives until the money stops. About an hour later, the criminal reached to the building full with blood all over his body as the guards let him into the building.

Once in the building, he approached the boss and handed him the documents. The guy over joyed that he gave Rukasu a giant stack of cash. Rukasu then told them how they are all dead, and this was strange since the boss was getting angry. Why would the boss get mad over his rival being dead? "YOU KILLED MY BROTHER! I TOLD YOU TO GET THE DOCUMENTS! GUARDS KILL HIM." The boss said as this was just the wrong time for anyone but Rukasu needed to act quickly since he did say to use whatever I needed to do to get the documents. Quickly he threw a shuriken at the bosses head killing him instantly and the guards froze in their tracks. Rukasu knew that if you take off the head then the legs would be worthless. Since the guards were frozen, the criminal jumped out the window.

Now that his mission was complete, he went to find the nearest lake so he could wash up.
