The New Era~~~ Chapter 16

~~~Chapter 16: Fallen Angel
Neji and Hinata dashed towards Noir, who had lowered himself to their level. But their Hyuuga style taijutsu wasn’t strong enough. Noir easily blocked, since, being an angel, he had no need for chakra.
“It seems that you can block my attacks, but you are unable to harm me,” remarked Noir.
“You forget,” remarked Neji back, “we’re not the only ones here!”
Neji hit Noir, and Noir did block it, but it knocked him back a little. Suddenly, Gaara flew out from behind Neji on a wave of sand. Neji quickly disappeared as the torrid of sand crashed into Noir.
But Noir created a red barrier around himself. Once the, sand settled, Noir dropped his shield, but it was a mistake. Rutsu instantly flew out of the sand and began to mercilessly attack Noir, but Noir’s defensive skills were far too great.
“Who are you fighting for?” asked Rutsu, as she continued her barrage.
“My lord!” Noir replied.
Rutsu, Neji, Gaara, and Hinata were taken back; they all jumped back away from Noir.
“Your lord?” asked Neji, “Humph, there is no lord, only destiny!”
“Tell us, this ‘lord’, how did he become your lord?” asked Hinata, as she kicked Neji in his… special chakra point.
“If that is your dying wish, I will tell you,” started Noir, “I indeed once served over that old man in the heavens, but one day, he sent me to earth… I was cold and alone, and then my new lord took me in, he showed me how to care for myself, and he showed me his power.”
“Wait, this ‘power’ was anything like this?” asking Rutsu, performing a simple clone jutsu.
Noir was taken back, “Ye-yes… but how?”
“He is no god, only a ninja like us!” explained Rutsu, “He’s evil Noir!”
“N-no!” Noir yelled.
Noir fell to the ground on his knees, trembling. He grasped the sides of his head as sweat slowly dripped from him.
“Noir…” sighed Hinata, “Come to Konoha! We can help you! And you can help defeat this man that calls himself a ‘god’!”
“Huh?”
“People in Konoha can help you!”
Noir trembled as he stood and whipped the sweat off of his forehead and said, “Yes… I believe that that should be my new path… there can be only one god, and if one man who can only do what any of you ‘ninja’ can do calls himself a god, than he should be eliminated!”

As Gaara and Noir went ahead, Hinata and Rutsu got Neji up, who continually moaned all the way back to Konoha.
“Will he be alright?” asked Rutsu.
“He just won’t be able to go to the restroom for a few days,” replied Hinata, smiling.
Rutsu grimaced and got as far from Hinata as Neji’s arms would stretch… which only made Neji moan more…
