1 Volume One : The Black Phoenix...

Zero....

Sarutobi finishes the wine and stands up, "thanks for your hospitality," he said and starts walking away. Before he can take one more step Kiba teleports in front of him and puts a hand on his shoulder stopping him in his tracks.

"I did say when I started speaking that too many people can't know about the stones didn't I?" Gaiz said

"I'd really hate to kill you after sharing my wine with you," He added...

... Sarutobi turns around to see that all twelve members had him surrounded.

Proli, Orn, Zed and Bax attack him. Orn uses strings to hold Sarutobi from all around so that he's immobile. Proli bombards him with sound waves of different frequencies. Zed starts throwing radioactive marbles at him which all blow up where he was standing, causing a haze. When the smoke clears Sarutobi is still standing with a delightful smirk on his face.

He coats himself with flames causing the strings to burn up and nullifying the sound waves and explosions.

"My turn" he said and before any of them could react, he's shoots himself in one direction. He is standing in front of proli and Orn in an instant, he hits them and then shoots a ball of fire at Zed. Bax absorbs the attack and shoots it back at Sarutobi, who is coated in flames. He brings out fire from his feet and moves towards them with incredible speed causing him to reach them in one bound, he then punches both Bax and Zed with his fists coated in fire.....

..... He looks up and sees the four he took care of still on the ground and seven standing.

"One of them is invisible," just as the thought came to him he is hit from behind. He lands on the floor and is already in a lot of pain, as he already had multiple fractures from whatever invisible creature was tossing him around. He generates flames all around him as he hears the footsteps and Botan in his full Elephant Transformation state becomes visible.

"Another dual powered bad guy."

Sarutobi stands up and looks at Gaiz and smiles.

"I feel like I can finally unleash part of my power", he says.

And before Gaiz can speak, a spiral of orange and blue fire erupts all around him. "Pyrus enforcement," he says and almost immediately the blue and orange flame form a strange glove like armor on his hands and feet.

The Insurgents were all visibly shaken up, Including Gaiz.

"If Rugio was nature's anomaly, I my friend am the devil's anomaly," Sarutobi says.

Gaiz smiles and mutters to himself, " no wonder he had that air of confidence, he's also a monster of sorts. This should be fun... ".
