Leaf Dynasty: A Wiill Of Fire

Team Shizou all sat at the Ichiraku Ramen shop conversing and talking. Heise had enjoyed his own bowl of ramen and was look forward to a second treat from his teacher.
“Guys I want to tell you about the Will of Fire” Shizou said suddenly creating an awkward silence.
“It doesn’t exist” Nakagawa said laughing and sipping more of the Ramen noodles.
“I am interested!” Heise said. Shizou smiled knowing he could always count on Heise to listen to one of his stories. Shizou noted the story of Nartuo The Gutsy Ninja a tale told By Jiraiya the legendary Sanin.

“Are you telling me he went into battle even against all odds?” Heise said now captivated by the story.
“If you ask me… He sounds like an idiom” Nakagawa whispered to Mei-Lee who shared a laugh with him. Shizou was now soaking in tears at the sound of his own story. Heise joined him.
“Yes Heise ! To follow his Ninja way he rushed into battle to protect that which was most important to him.” Shizou said. Heise looked up and cried.
“Yes Sensei! I Want to have that determination? What’s it called strong will fire?” Heise asked Sensei Shizou.

“Baka!” Shizou yelled as he slammed his fist into the face of Heise! Nakagawa could see that Shizou was crying even more now that he had to discipline Heise.
“Why did we get stuck with these guys” Nakagawa asked as he looked at his friend Mei-Lee.
“Baka ! It’s called the Will of Fire! This idea shines bright within our Lord Hokage!” Shizou Yelled. Heise stood up from the punch continuing his crying though accepting his fate.
“You are right Sensei-Shizou! Our Lord Hokage is a great man!” Heise replied.
“Right now give me twenty thousand push-ups!” Shizou commanded. Heise nodded and began counting.

A man suddenly appeared in front of the Team. Heise recognized him as one of the Hokage’s personal guard. Another one appeared next to the guard.
“Shizou you are needed by the Hokage.” One of the man replied. Shizou immediately became serious and nodded. He nodded to his students and disappeared.
“The rest of you are to report to the Tanzaku Quarters. The city has been captured. I trust you three chunin can handle things” The man said. Heise looked at the rest of his teammates Nakagawa in particular who was team leader.
“Squad 3 Accepts” Nakagawa replied to the man.

Heise had equipped his newly found armor that resembled the armor of Mardara and Hashirama. It was only acceptable since he was with his team. On his back a large Gunbai and Staff. It was the weapons amongst his newest arsenal. The team arrived on spot as Heise.
“We don’t have Shizou on this mission” Heise said as he looked at the rest of his Team. Nakagawa turned to Mei-Lee and noticed she had two giant scrolls on her back. Heise assumed there were weapons inside which she would summon when she needed them. Nakagawa had nothing but his pouch on his back.
“Are we ready? Nakagawa asked?

Tanzaku town was a distance away from Konoha but it was in the Land of Fire. And as The Jounin has said to them, Tanzakau town was trapped within a blockade of bandits which shouldn’t have been to hard to handle but these bandits were known as Red Tails. There were presumably the largest gang in all of the land of fire with at least six hundred members. It would have seemed they were walking into a slaughter. Even if all of them could take out maybe 50 at time that still would leave a lot left. Heise turned to Nakagawa who looked just as worried.

“We could go back” Heise said as they leaped from tree to tree. Nakagawa said nothing only pondering what the worst possible outcome would be.
“Everyone is going to have to make sure to be extra careful out there” Nakagawa said as he leaped forward. Heise could now see that Nakagawa was more anxious than ever to begin the battle. He wondered if he had a plan this whole time. Heise didn’t bother turning to Mei-Lee she would now be able to handle her own after all the training he had been doing according to Sensei Shizou. It would be only moments before they arrived.

As predicted there were plenty of bandits. Nakagawa smiled and suddenly the marking on his neck began to spread throughout his body. Heise immediately sensed the Nature energy coming from within Nakagawa.
“Did he learn to control it?” Heise asked himself as he watched Nakagawa fly into battle. Heise ignored the fact and jumped right into the battle as well. Instead of reaching for his Gunbai and Staff he concentrated on attacking only with his hands and fist landing punches and kicks and all sorts of ways. At one moment Heise had been completletly surrounded by six of the members.

“Well than, let us see how well you dance” Heise said motioning for them to charge. Two began to charge at Heise with giant Zanbatou. Heise leaped back avoiding the attacks fluidly. With their swords lodged in the ground Heise saw the opportunity to strike. He punched one member in the gut with his full force sending him flying back. He then launched himself at the other man by performing a round house kick to his skull sending him flying back. Heise landed on the ground and turned to the remaining four members that had surrounded him.
“Shall we?” He asked.

Heise directed his attention to the remaining four members. He withdrew his Gunbai and Shukajo from his back and looked at the with readiness. One man threw shuriken at Heise then charged at him. Heise lifted his Gunbai and parried the oncoming shuriken. Once the gunbai and Shuriken dropped Heise brought his staff to the fist of the man pushing it out of the way. He then would slam his staff into the back of the man knocking him unconscious. He turned to the remaining three opponents he faced.
“Your movements are dull and steps are weak. You dance pitiful” Heise said.
