After realizing that secrecy is a hard thing to keep during these times, the founder of the organization had an epiphany. During the times where he was nothing, but a criminal blinded by hatred with revenge being his only goal, he had an ally whom was very close to him. An extremely powerful ally who aided him in combat and treated all of his wounds at amazing paces. Even for a medical ninja, he was extraordinary. He went by the name of Yukimura, as far as the young man could recall. Simply remembering the name brought ominous and haunting images back. However the young man realized that he has improved drastically in skill and has two allies with him. This time around, he would be the one controlling Yukimura... for the sake of justice.
He decided to tell Crowlock and Itachi Chinome about the whereabouts of his old personal medic, Yukimura. What was described was a horrifying laboratory, which conducted the worst imaginable experiments on various species through apocalyptic and perilous means. A place so ominous and dark, simply visualizing it would make any average man feel an indescribable sickness accompanied by a weird feeling in the stomach.
Crowlock and Itachi decided that it would be in everyone's best interest, if they accompany the leader during the visit of the laboratory. As such, the three shinobi headed towards the location, which was earlier described.
Upon their arrival, Crowlock and Itachi noticed that the laboratory seemed even worse than what was described. Not to mention, the place had an awful smell surrounding the air, which seemed to be almost forcingly intoxicating the lungs of anyone who breathed it in. Breathing any kind of fresh air was nearly impossible, but the leader revealed that, it was nothing but an illusion. As the three of them advanced, the young man was once again reminded of all the disturbing things he had seen inside this very laboratory. The images of innocent beings having their lives taken away right en front of his eyes, still haunted him to this day. As such, he never really liked this place for what it was. Strangely enough though, he had always felt like there was a greater purpose behind all the experiments, although he could never figure out what that purpose was They went deeper and deeper in the hideout but could not spot the slightest sign of any life remaining.
Everything seemed empty and nothing had been cleaned up. The place looked exactly the way that the leader remembered it, when he left it. Although, something was fishy. And something had been bugging him for a while now. The laboratory was quiet, but it was never this quiet. Something was definitely off, but what could it be?
Finally, they arrived at a huge door. The leader remembered this door clearly. It was off-limits for everyone, even Yukimura's closest of friends, naturally including the leader himself. The young man stopped walking and looked at the ground for a slight moment. With a bit of a shiver in his body, he said: "It is probably best if I go alone from this point on, for even I do not know what lies beyond this door." - Crowlock and Itachi agreed to the statement but tagged along in secret. As the leader opened the door, he forgot all about his current whereabouts. This room was worse than anything else in the entire laboratory. The distinct reek of blood and signs of dead rotten human flesh lying around in various places disgusted him. This was clearly it... The place where Yukimura conducted his human experiments, despite the fact that he always denied doing so. The leader did not know what to feel, as he was emotionally overwhelmed.
Despair... Grief... Sorrow... Agony.. Misery.. Pain... But most of all, rage. Rage towards Yukimura, but the young man knew better than to have an emotional breakdown in this very place. He looked around for any kind of clues, and his eye happened to catch a glimpse of something in the distance. A water tank, which by the looks of it was forcibly opened and very recently at that since the floor was soaking wet. However, there was no sign of life to be seen. Had the "experiment" already left the building?
Suddenly a voice could be heard from the distance. A cold voice with no emotions to it, "Careful." was all of which was uttered, as the sound of three kunai being rung with incredible speed and precision was heard. And with that, within a mere instant, three bodies were lying at the feet of the leader. They appeared to be leaf village shinobi, of which the leader could recognize two. Unfortunately he had no time to get any sort of intel from the bodies, since the suspicious person who had skillfully thrown the kunai was now approaching him.
Itachi and Crowlock noticed that, and to the leader's surprise, they jumped in, revealing themselves. The suspicious person whose gender was hard to identify suddenly started falling back a bit. But it did not seem like the person was scared to the leader.. No, on the contrary, he seemed to be luring them. Crowlock and Itachi noticed that as well, but decided to go for it anyways, believing in their own skills. Itachi and Crowlock jumped up and dashed towards the other person, whom responded with two throwing kunai at Crowlock and using Water release techniques aimed at Itachi. Crowlock deflected the kunai with his air palms and a midair rotation. Itachi knew that using his Fire techniques would be disadvantageous against the water release, so he decided to use his second elemental affinity - lightning, to counter the water techniques being thrown at him.
Itachi and Crowlock seemed to have the upper hand, but suddenly stopped moving as soon as they hit the ground and were about to attack the other person. What looked like a bear trap seemed to have caught on to their feet, rendering them incapable of moving. The person who had proven himself to be very skillful uttered the words: "It's over." with a very monotone and emotionless voice. He seemed almost inhuman.
The leader quickly responded, "You're right." as he held his kunai next to the neck of the person whilst standing behind them. He slit the throat and thought it was over, but the person simply turned in to water - A water substitution? But it did not matter. Crowlock and Itachi were free now and ready to go for round two. The two of them were being careful this time, keeping their distance and staying cautious, while measuring the distance between themselves and the suspicious person on the other side.
As Crowlock was about to initiate the attack, something happened, which caught the attention of everyone currently present. An echoing voice or rather - a laugh. A sinister laugh, which triggered a reaction from the suspicious person and one from the leader as well. It was surprising to see the emotionless person finally have some sort of change in his facial expression, but that is not why the young leader reacted. He reacted simply because the laugh triggered an indescribable rage inside of him, since this laugh was very reminiscent to that of Yukimura's laugh.
As such, he followed the sound of the laugh and flew right past the suspicious person with a Lightning Cutter in his hand. The power started cutting off and on repeatedly, glass tanks exploded left and right, as the sound of a hit was finally heard, however the leader could not see Yukimura or anyone else anywhere, despite feeling the impact or hitting someone: "Yukimura... I will turn that laugh into screams of agony and misfortune.. Just you wait-.." was said in a low tone. With an evil grin, he continued: "The only ones who should kill, are those who are prepared to be killed. Well, Yukimura... Are you prepared for your divine punishment?" - The leader was clearly acting differently, as if he was under some sort of influence from all of his rage. He turned back towards his comrades who happened to notice something different about him. The look in his eye was different, no... The entirety of the eyes were different - the shape, the color, the intensity. Everything. The suspicious person, who was still there mumbled a few words to himself: "Oh .. So it's you..'' After the mumbling of those words, the leader smirked for himself and let out a small laughter, before finally collapsing.
The suspicious person had their eyes locked on to the body of the leader. Crowlock and ltachi took notice of that fact, and used it to their advantage. Within a matter of seconds, Crowlock stealthy knocked the person down from behind with a palm of air, Itachi then surrounded them with walls of fire to ensure that there would be no escape. As the suspicious person got back up on their feet, multiple techniques were being thrown back and forth, but the suspicious person seemed distraught and distracted, which Crowlock did not miss to notice and easily exploited. He happened to get behind the enemy and knocked him on to the ground once again and decided to lock one of the enemy's arms underneath the sole of his foot while sitting on his body restricting any sort of movement. The suspicious person was not worried about what would happen next, but quietly said while looking at the ground: "He said Yukimura, right?'' - Itachi and Crowlock nodded in response, which led to the following being said: "Yukimura is dead.''
