Chapter Forty-Five: Passing the Icy Storm


Tenso Ukitaro was a one-man army, or so he claims it. Arrogant and quick to anger, he is considered one of the most dangerous men in the Light Clan, having an endless thirst for homicide.
He was also the twin of of Senso Ukitaro.
His appearance exactly like his brother. Tenso Ukitaro would have made an excellent shinobi if not for his illness, which caused him to have a mental breakdown occasionally and always result in bloodshed, with him killing whoever
he could see. And that issue caused him to be caged in a maximum cell everyday, constantly hated and feared.

And now he stood, blocking Zara's blade with a long lance, the exact lance that Senso had. Zara glared at Senso and opened his mouth to speak. "Well, well, looks like this'll be more interesting than I've thought."

Smoke hung on the horizon of the area of Senso's, Kato's, and Kaname's battle. The smoke quietly drifted, and an aura of calm peace filled the cold winds. And that moment of complete silence immediately stopped as the battlers emerged.
Kaname was in the air, glancing down where his Wind Howl had struck his enemies. As he landed on the ice with a loud thud, he gazed up. Standing there, still protected and unscathed except for a few cuts here and there was Kato, who was still surrounded in his water dome, which was now lazily drifting in the atmosphere, only parts of it remaining from Kaname's attack.
Where's the other guy, Kaname thought. Then he realized it as a lance whipped out of the cloud of smoke, striking Kaname right at the shoulder. Blood immediately spilled, splashing onto the ice, as Senso appeared, five centimeters west of Kato and seven centimeters facing Kaname, who stood, the lance stuck in his left shoulder, in shock. "How did you.." Kaname wondered.
Senso offered a shrug as Kato started forming handsigns. "It was pretty simple. You are strong and swift, but your movements are predictable. In other words, you were slipping up, and now you're gonna pay for it."

Kaname growled in frustration. "I see.....in other words..I was getting sloppier. I see no way to avoid this now: unfortunately for you, I will have to use it. Now.....goodbye, Light Clan Ninja."

As Kato and Senso prepared themselves for the worst to come, Kaname whispered these words:

"Ninja Art: Impure of Darkness- World End."
