24 Dark Phantom (1/2)

The Kazekage surveyed the assassins short stature and could only conclude he was dealing with someone very quite young. ”You don't seem like the usual Anbu used by Konoha? And any way put too young to be here alone without backup.”

Standing upright, Fuzen met his eyes. ”And what does that tell you? Mr Kazekage...”

”That they're either very dumb to send you or very overconfident in your abilities.”

”Actually, if anything they underestimate them, just like you that is... But that's fine. You'll see what I mean in a minute.”

With all Suna and Kagero shinobi eyes on him, there was little reason to go about this quietly.

Ignoring the Kazekage, Fuzen vanished from his spot using 'Body Flicker' and weaved past the nearby shinobi leaving them either dismembered and or dead by passing 'Void Fists' through different parts of their bodies.

Near instantly arriving beside another cart, he kicked open the door and peeked inside where a pair of fat idiots held where one held onto a shaking katana.

”That stick isn't going to help you.”

Reaching toward the weapon, it looked to them as if the tiger-masked killer intended to stab himself in the palm. What happened instead was that the entire blade got consumed, eaten by the black hand like it was a delicious snack.

However, the hand didn't stop there. It continued up the length of the representative's arm. Despite howling in pain as his arm disappeared before his very eyes and waving it around wildly, the devouring hand tracked his movements without error and continued its chosen path.

”Argh...Please, make it st–”

Fuzen obliged to his demands and swiped forward with both hands causing the two representatives to lose their heads simultaneously.

”Protect the last three carts at all cost! And don't let him get close, use ranged attacks! Try to slow him,” the Kazekage bellowed his orders.

Hearing the Third Kazekage, Fuzen couldn't help shaking his head in dismay. ”Why do you have to be such a cockblocker, huh?”

Throwing down a smoke bomb, Fuzen disappeared into his realm of darkness and materialized under the cart that had been leading the convoy.

Even though the strange pulsating bass was gone, the Kazekage didn't for a second believe it was over. ”Where is he? Someone tell me his location.”

”He's... gone,” a sensor-nin detected. ”Wait, I sense him. Under that cart, over there!” He pointed his finger alarmed.

”Iron Sand: Spears of Destiny!”

Several tens of black spears instantly whizzed through the air, piercing through the cart showing no hesitation in killing a couple of representatives as long as, he also nailed down the slippery opponent in the process.

Fuzen expected this and had used the Kazekages ruthless nature to help achieve his objective. Now, he only had to confirm the kills.

On his way to the next cart, Fuzen grabbed one of the freely available enemy shinobi and by performing a fast spin threw him at the cart breaking it wide open. As he'd hoped, the representatives inside were pierced through at multiple angles and most definitely dead.
