Naruto: Scatter

Sending a sliver of chakra towards the wound to control the bleeding, Byakuya called back the petals. 'I'm constantly reminded of my lack of experience... In three lives nonetheless.' Byakuya grimaced. 

In his original life, he was just a normal human that never got into a fight. In his second life he's still a child that didn't go through many difficult battles. And the memories of the original Byakuya are still at the stage where he was growing up within the Kuchiki clan.

Byakuya snapped out of his thoughts and turned slightly as a kunai flew past his head, close enough to just barely cut his hair tie and some hair. 

His hair fell to his shoulders and some clang to the sweat on his forehead. 'Tsk. This could become troublesome.' He thought, glancing at the few strands within his sights. 

Two enemies rushed towards him, entering his sight. "Finally revealed." He muttered, rushing towards them, his Zanpakuto raised after he unsummoned his Shikai form, opting to use physical force. 

*Clang!* 

His blade met the enemies' arms as both of them blocked the blade. Frowning, Byakuya looked at the wood chipping off of their arms. 'Puppets?' He thought, retrieving his sword and glanced to the top of the puppets where he saw chakra threads. 

Just then, the puppets rushed towards him more fiercely. 

'Trying to distract me?' He thought blocking one puppet's strike with his sword. Turning to the other puppet, he quickly unsummoned his Zanpakuto and ran through a series of seals as fast as he could. 

Bird→Horse→Snake

"Fūton: Ressenpū!" Taking a deep breath in, Byakuya blew out a tornado that homed onto the puppet. 

Not having any rest, the first puppet launched towards him, a kunai in hand. 'Where do they get these?' He thought internally but still summoned his Zanpakuto and slashed the puppet's arm off before quickly slicing it's other hand.

Taking the time he had after crippling the puppet, he looked to where the chakra threads came from. 

'There.' 

Reacting quickly, he jumped onto the closest tree and ran towards where the puppet master was. 

"Shit!" 

He heard a voice come from the direction he's going. Not long after, he spots a panicking ninja with a Sunagakure headband. Taking one last leap off the branch, Byakuya brandished his Zanpakuto above his head, striking down at the ninja who pulled out a kunai.

*Clang!*

The blades clash and it send the Kunai out of the ninja's hand. 

"Ssss..." The Suna ninja hissed, holding his right hand, feeling the numbness traveling through it. 

Before he could do anything more, Byakuya placed his blade gently on the ninja's shoulder. "Don't do anything stupid." Byakuya's calm voice cut through the ninja's thoughts. "What happened to the ninja's stationed at the scout camp?" He questioned, only for the Suna ninja to sneer. 

"What do you think happened, boy?" The ninja spoke, sarcasm leaking through. 

Byakuya responded in kind, pressing his Zanpakuto's blade gently against the ninja's neck, causing blood to drip slightly. 

"Alright. Alright!" The ninja's tone changed quickly. "We killed them." He explained, his words leaving his mouth faster than he can think. 

Byakuya raised an eyebrow. "We?" 

"The hell? You didn't say there was a Konoha ninja here." 

a Voice came from behind Byakuya, who turned around and held his Zanpakuto ready. 

"Well there wasn't when we left." 

Another voice reached Byakuya's ears before he spotted a group of ninja's dropping down from the trees. 

'One, two, three... Thirty. Why did I believe even for a second that this puppet master could've taken down the whole Konoha scout team!' He quickly counted the ninjas in front of him, sweating at the number. 

"Whatever." a Suna ninja stepped forward and pulled out a Kunai. "Let's just quickly kill him. It looks like he's alone." 

Byakuya waved his Zanpakuto in front of him before bringing it vertically in front of him. "Scatter. Senbonzakura." He spoke and his blade shattered into thousands of petals. 'Maybe with my full powered Shikai I can put up a fight...' Byakuya thought, grimacing at his quickly depleting Chakra. 

He realized quite early after unlocking his Shikai that the amount of Chakra he pours through his blade, the more powerful his form could be. And with him only having an amount of Mid-Jonin ranked Chakra, he needed to end this fast since he spent quite a bit of Chakra when he summoned and unsummoned his Shikai previously. 

"So our visitor is Hazakura Byakuya himself." The ninja who stepped forward spoke up and gestured to his teammates. "Don't be fooled by his appearance. This child wields a formidable Kekkei Genkai." He spoke and the rest of the ninjas drew their weapons.

"It was last updated that he had the strength of a top Chunin." The ninja glanced at the downed Suna ninja behind Byakuya. "But currently I suspect he reached Jonin." 

Tired of the needless waste of time, Byakuya sends his petals towards the Suna ninja. 

a Few of the Suna ninjas all made seals and called out at the same time. "Fūton: Daitoppa!" Before they breathed out a strong gust of wind, blowing his petals apart. 

"No!" Byakuya yelled out, while a small smirk graced his face. He silently controlled the scattered petals to strike the closest ninja.

His exclamation had given him a second window as the ninjas thought they ruined his attack. 

"What?!" The ninjas reacted quickly after spotting the petals still coming towards them. 

"He controls-" The ninja at the front tried warning them, but he was too late as six ninjas got surrounded by a group of sakura petals. 

"Ahhhh!" Their screams echoed through the forest. 

Ignoring them with reluctance, the ninja at the front gestured towards Byakuya. "Attack!" He bellowed, enraged by his comrades' deaths and threw a kunai at Byakuya. 

Before the kunai could even reach him, it exploded into a mass of fire. 

'Fuck!' Byakuya cursed, realizing there was an explosive seal wrapped around it. He braced himself for the force of the explosion coming towards him. "Ugh!" He grunted, being flung backwards. 

Maneuvering in the air, Byakuya landed back on his feet and spotted another kunai flying towards him.

Blocking it, Byakuya's eyes widened. 'No way...' He thought as everything seemed to slow down while he gazed at the grip of the kunai. 'Another one?!' 

*Boom!*

Byakuya flew into the air, his clothes burnt off, revealing his scorched skin underneath. 

"Fūton: Daitoppa!" 

Looking down while in the air, Byakuya spotted a blast of wind rushing towards him. 'Can't dodge.' He quickly formed seals and took a deep breath in. 'Fūton: Daitoppa.' He sends the same jutsu towards the oncoming one, hoping to cancel it out. 

*Bang!* 

The two jutsus clash, boosting Byakuya's height. 'I'm running low...' He thought, sensing his low Chakra reserves and waved his hilt slightly. 

On the ground, another ninja was busy waving through hand seals. "He can't dodge!" He spoke up, causing the other ninjas to look up. 

Behind them, sakura petals lifted up from the ground and shot towards their unguarded backs. 

"Argh!" One ninja cried out, catching the attention of the rest, who turned towards him, spotting pink petals stuck in his back.

Unable to react, the rest of them couldn't dodge fast enough before the same fate came upon them. 

Byakuya looked at them from above, smirking as he saw his petals vanishing in thin air. 'I'm officially done...' He thought and looked at the hilt in his hand as it, too, started dematerializing. 

With an unnerving sense of calm flooding his mind, Byakuya turned his sights to the sun above him. He had started falling down. His hair fluttered above him, blocking his view slightly. 

'At least I took a few out with me...' He thought, knowing his last attempt at an attack had done nothing but injured them. 'It's funny really...' The sunlight hurt his eyes, but he didn't look away. 'This fight felt long, but I got destroyed within seconds. The power I have... I didn't even learn to properly wield it... I have disgraced my Zanpakuto.' 

He closed his eyes, feeling the rough wind hit his back. 

*Woosh* 

a Faint sound reached him, causing him to open his eyes and glance to his right. 

'Another kunai...' He sighed. 'Wait... That kunai-'
