Invasion

After Riku's win the match's continued on the next fight was announced as the two went to the arena. The next fight was Naruto Uzumaki vs Neji Hyuga. From what Riku heard from Ryu Naruto had a problem with Neji as in the preliminaries Neji went to far in his fight against Hinata. As the fight proceeded in the beginning of the match Neji was winning pretty convincingly until a red chakra started to be channeled out of Naruto. The tides turned when a red chakra came out of Naruto undoing the 64 palms that shut off his chakra points. He then used a shadow clone jutsu making many clones of himself and tricking Neji as he appeared out of the ground and knocked Neji out in one punch. Riku was surprised that Naruto defeated Neji after getting all of his chakra points shut down. This chakra was horrifying and Riku was happy that he was friend with Naruto and not enemies.

The next match was Shino vs Kankuro bt what confused many people was that Kankuro forfeit the match. This confused many people but they just thought that the had enough or he thought that he would lose so there was no point in fighting. But Riku was wondering as he fought Kankuro and believed he could definitely put up a good fight against Shino. But he chose to ignore it since Shino had proven himself in the preliminaries as a top fighter.

The next match was Temari vs Shikamaru. Riku watched this match and saw that this match was a battle of the brain as Temari constantly tracked Shikamaru's limits while Shikamaru was figuring out how to get around her analyzing and superior range. He eventually won as he used the shadow of the underground tunnel that Naruto made in his match with Neji to trap Temari with using his Shadow Imitation Jutsu. But soon after he forfeited as he said that he was running out of chakra.

The last match was Gaara vs Sasuke. This match was originally supposed to be earlier but it was delayed as Sasuke was not there. When the match started Gaara's sand couldn't keep up with Sasuke as his eyes showed the Sharingan. As he gets more desperate Gaara starts to use his sand as an armor but even that didn't help so he created a shield of sand all around him. Sasuke couldn't get in as he tried to punch it. He then went away up the wall and performed a jutsu that created lightning in his hand. The lightning jutsu that Kakashi called Chidori was able to penetrate the sand ball. But once Sasuke pulled out his arm a brown arm with blue marks appeared. The sand ball collapsed revealing an injured Gaara. What happened next shocked many there was a huge genjutsu that went off putting many to sleep.

Once majority of the crowd was put to sleep a smoke bomb went off in the Hokage's area. Riku woke up after this happened as his father put chakra into him. He saw the situation as he woke up seeing a chaotic scene seeing Gaara and his team leaving while Sasuke and Shino pursuing them. He also saw giant snakes in the distance being summoned. He saw that both his parents were waking up more of the people around and trying to help to evacuate these people. Many of the elite shinobi were doing the same and others were trying to figure out what happened in the Hokage's area, one of those people being Ryu.

After his parents woke up a decent amount of people they took Riku and started to evacuate the arena. As they were evacuating the arena they saw a combination of Oto and Suna shinobi invading Konoha.

Hayato: Let's get these people to safety first then I will go and help.

Yukine: I agree.

The family escorts to what they thought would be the farthest away from the fighting. When they got there they saw a lot of damage to the area around and many injured people on the ground. All of them had slash marks on them. These slash marks had some chakra left on them that Hayato recognized.

Hayato: This is sever release how can this be here.

Yukine: What?

Riku: Dad do you think …?

Hayato: Possibly.

Suddenly they heard footsteps walk up to them as the person was revealed. This person was a man that appeared like a younger version of Riku's father. But the main difference was his attire was that of a kirigakure jonin and he had two slim blades that had an upward curved bladed prong near the top and another one on the other side of the blade near the handle.

???: Ah it has been to long brother.

Hayato: Reo.

Seeing his brother for the first time in many years he was surprised but he also felt something was off about his brother. He wasn't the same person as before as well as something felt off about his chakra. He also noticed the swords on the hips of his brother and was worried.

Hayato: Since when have you become one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. Wielding the Kiba.

Reo: That is not necessary information come let's finish this.

Hayato: Riku, Yukine run.

Riku: What? Why? I can help.

Hayato: Those swords are notorious as part of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. Elite swordsmen that wield swords of amazing power. The Kiba may not be considered the strongest but it is attuned with lightning release causing major cutting power. But is sever release is used the damage that can be caused is way more deadly. There was one sever release user in history of these swords and he was recognized as one of the best sever release users and one that could beat the wielder of the strongest sword the Samehada. Because he has those swords although my sever release has always been stronger I will have to be cautious of him.

Yukine: But.

Hayato: Get these people to safety I can't let him threaten my family. Reo lets end this.

Hayato's hand started to glow with a strong form of sever release revealing a purple and blue glow around his hand, Reo smiled and took out his swords and put sever release on his sword giving it a purple glow.
