Finally, my last day as one of the twelve ninja guardians had come to an end, with a small party thrown by the Feudal Lord, I left the castle with a smile, the mission while boring had been peaceful, which is something one rarely get as a shinobi, so I can't complain.

For hours, I ran through the thick humid forest that surrounded the fire country, passing various towns and cities, without a care, until I felt something, someone, and stopped in the middle of nowhere.

"How about you show yourself?" I muttered to no one in particular, as I surveyed the deserted forest. Someone had been following me, and his or her intent to kill me was vibrating.

"Intriguing," A voice echoed through the forest, sending an unnerving feeling down my spine, whoever it was, it had to die. "That thing told me you were… special, and you are… no one has felt me before,"

"Good to know, I will make sure to get a name after I capture you," I said, as I noticed a tree in front of me was bleeding, human blood full of living chakra.

The blood that was bleeding out of the tree gradually took on a human shape. As a man wearing a black mask appeared out of the blood, "I have no name, for I don't need a name but the name of my target, so… call me your executioner."

Blood infused with chakra, a bloodline most likely, and one that I had never seen before, not even in the anime, "Cute, but no." I said.

"I love when they struggle," The man said, almost moaning the words out, showing that in a perverse way, he was taking sexual pleasure in the act of killing.

"I will kill you, and then whoever sent you." I sighed, as I looked up at the freak in front of me. "I hope the money they offered you was worth it." my eyes glittered with intent.

"Hehe," Flickering out of sight, appearing behind me. Speed, average.

Turning around, I blocked his untimely strike and kicked him in the face, and immediately noticed something was wrong. The impact resulted in more blood than it should have with the amount of strength I was putting behind my attack, something was wrong. "Bloody Rain," The man moaned, as the blood my kick had poured rained on me, melting my clothes upon contact.

Flickering a few meters away from him, I tore the clothes that were stained with his clearly acidic blood, now having a good idea of what the man was capable of. His speed and reaction time were average at best, but his technique was impressively deadly.

"My blood can melt anything… and I control it, no matter what you do, I can't die," Blood control really sounded like a troublesome thing to deal with, but no matter how strong he thought his abilities were, everything had a weakness.

I eyed him for a second and laughed, [Momori LV 27] who would've thought the moment I left the castle, things would get so… interesting, "I suppose for anyone that has yet to lost a battle their abilities seem… invincible but know this… there is always a bigger fish waiting to strike."

The man chuckled, "Please… struggle more, the more they suffer, the more I feel!"

"Before I kill you, who sent you?" I sighed.

"I don't know," The man answered. "I just heard a voice, telling me you were my target… and that I would get lots and lots of money if I killed you," interesting, now the question was… was he being truthful, well… nothing a little bit of flaying can't confirm, though I am doubtful pain works with this man, he moaned during my kick.

"Ok," I smiled, blinking behind him as I used Frost Nova to freeze him in place, "A quick note for you, blood like water… it's a limited resource, without blood… who are you?"

"You executioner," He grinned, his body bursting like a bloody water balloon.

"Oh noo, a blood clone… oh my god, the ingenuity of it all, if only I had prepared better for this battle, by remembering the one thing we ninjas are known for," I chuckled, as I turned around to see the guy sneaking behind me, "Hammer of Justice," stunning him in place for six seconds, "Now… let's talk about that contractor," putting a rudimentary chakra seal on his head that would effectively keep him in place after my stun wore out, with that done, I grinned, as I started to interrogate the assassin, who had lost in the most humiliating way possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The moment I started to interrogate the man, he exploded… Apparently whoever had contracted him had placed a seal within him to avoid saying too much, oh well… too bad I didn't get any EXP. "Oh well… time to open a portal to my house I guess," I sighed, wondering why in the first place I had been running to Konoha… when I had the ability to open as many portals there as I wanted to.

[????? POV]

It seems Senju Raiden was as strong as I thought, but nothing that required to be eliminated, at least not for now, besides targeting him in the open would let the world know I existed, and I can't let Madara know I exist, not until he fulfills his role, he has after all yet to awaken the Rinnegan, so for now… I will let the Senju brat live, who knows… I might end up using his unique skills to further my goals.

"Activate the seals inside all the assassins," I ordered one of the many white Zetsu's. "It's obvious they won't manage to do anything and considering he probably knows about the seals, it's too much of a risk."

"Okay!"

"Now, let's see how my favorite pawn is doing," I muttered, going back to see how Madara was… he was, after all, my prized project, the fruit of my hard work.
