In solemnness joined by Keldran’s two Genin, the small group continued on along the streets while ever pacing through the rows of sobbing people. The presence of grief unbroken in every second that passed during a dreadful set of minutes in which the realization of many lives lost dawned upon all present. Ikeru Senju was first to greet the head of the Medical Center. “Miyako-san.”. He politely bowed his head towards her, as did the Kazekage, while they both moved aside, as did the others in order to make way for the sand soldier carrying Keldran on the stretcher.

However, just as they were about to step forth, something very strange occurred. Although still unconscious Keldran began to gag, loudly, as a thick black substance began to writhe and slide from his open mouth that was spread out so far that those close enough could hear Keldran’s jaw dislocate. What came out of him was a thick snake made of black slime, perhaps more a snail than a snake, that crawled out and quickly sped onto the stage where it began to reshape into an orb that spastically moved around in place before slowly settling into a humanoid form.

But before anything else, a flash of red struck the scene and there stood Ikeru, sword drawn following a slash too fast for most eyes to follow that cut clean through this strange being. But to the Hokage’s evident surprise, as seen in his frown, the strike that would have killed any man immediately, on the spot, held no effect….

The two halves simply re-connected before what looked to be the torso even hit the ground. Ikeru, for now, turned to the strange apparition while the Kazekage stood at the ready to prevent and civilian casualties should anything occur. The Hokage’s rough, worn, but powerful voice breaking the silence with a simple. “Introduce yourself.”. As a source of fire so immensely hot that it was felt by all those present, colored pure white, wrapped around his Katana. “You won’t get a second chan---“.

<p class="MsoNormal">Before the Hokage could finish his sentence. A ear deafening and cruel laughter erupted from the alien-like being that now more clearly resembled a naked, male, humanoid form composed of pure black slime with no facial features.

<p class="MsoNormal">“KSAAH KSHAAHAHAHAHAHA!! THISSSSS….”

<p class="MsoNormal">The being raised its long black arms as if questioning the gods, rearing its head back in the pose of a true maniac.

<p class="MsoNormal">“THIS IS THE TRUE DELICIOUS TREAT I WAS HOPING FOR. ANGUISH. SADNESS. OHHHH HOW I LOVE IT SO!”. It’s voice was high pitched and sounded like a blend of several voices mixed together in a unearthly screeching that’d hurt any sensitive ears merely from how unpleasing it sounded.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">“SO THEN! LET ME TELL YOU THE DEAL.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Now growing what looked like a long braid from the back of its head, the figure jumped off the stage and into the large opening in front of the crowd.

<p class="MsoNormal">“ALL OF YOU PROMISE TO CRY LIKE GOOD LITTLE CHILDREN. AND YOU’LL BE ALLOWED TO LIVE, MY DEARS!”

<p class="MsoNormal">It turned its flat black face to the Hokage, and then out of nowhere a haunting huge Cheshire cat like smile appeared on its visage, obviously mocking the famous Senju. Ikeru, in turn, merely watched for the time being and stepped of the stage with flaming sword in hand, ever ready but not wishing to use his power amongst so many civilians; the closest of whom were forced to take a few steps back from the mere heat radiating closer their way.

<p class="MsoNormal">The odd stranger continued, taking up a theatrical pose as a black robe took form around most of his body. Even the robe, however, was made of the same black slimy substance.

<p class="MsoNormal">“HOWEVER! IF WE EVER CATCH THE LEAF INVESTIGATING IN OUR BUSINESS AGAIN!”. It pulled a finger across its throat to symbolize ones throat being cut. “YOU WILL ALL END UP WORSE THAN YOUR BLUE HAIRED FRIEND HERE!”

<p class="MsoNormal">Two red eyes, Sharingan, appeared on the plain black face that still sported a haunting enlarged smile. Then, red cloud-like patterns on the robe it wore.

<p class="MsoNormal">“ANYONE GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?”

<p class="MsoNormal">It asked while slowly turning its gaze around to run past all of the crowd, causing most people to look away in fear except for some hardened shinobi, some ANBU, who looked like they were ready to kill this stranger but wouldn’t make a move unless instructed to do so.
