Naruto: Systematic Shinobi

Like all great plans, they one they came up with just a few minutes ago and were preparing to put in place, didn't survive contact with the enemy.

Or rather, it didn't even get to come into contact with the enemy at all.

"Shibuki!" Suien's voice roared loudly, followed by a sharp, feminine squeal of pain, "I'm tired of waiting you little coward, bring out the Hero Water now! For every minute you don't, I'll be killing one of these pieces of trash I've caught, starting with this little bitch!"

Daiki cut off the flow of green chakra he was spreading through himself and looked through the hole to get a look, and his eyes widened.

The feminine squeal…it had been Shizuku.

"Ah, that guy!" Fu's face pressed against his as she leaned over his shoulder and stared through it with him, her petite, soft chest pressing into his back, yet he couldn't enjoy it at all, "He's really rotten to the core! Threatening civilians, kids at that!"

Daiki grimaced, hands clenched into fists.

If only he his arms hadn't been fucked up earlier, they could have acted sooner. Now, if they put their plan in motion, Shizuku would be swept up in his jutsu and die in agony.

…It may have been hypocritical of him, since he planned on taking the eyes of another child, but, he couldn't find it in him to be pragmatic enough to reap the life of that little girl who affectionately called him 'Nii-chan' and who chose him first out of everyone else to seek comfort in when she was scared.

"What should we do?" Fu asked, grimacing.

He barely even noticed the feeling of her warm cheek rubbing against his to be honest. His mind was rushing a mile a minute, no a second.

He had three options here.

1. Let this guy kill Shizuku and others, use the time to heal himself a bit more to make sure he was in as best condition as he could be.

2. Take advantage right now with his hands full and put the plan into motion, with his hands full, he'd be even harder pressed to react at all.

3. Waste their plan and save Shizuku instead of killing him when they had the chance.

'Fuck it, I'm no little bitch!' Daiki growled, forcing himself to his feet. He'd already died once, or twice actually. He wasn't afraid to go for round three with the Shinigami! It was all or nothing.

Even if he went out here and now, he was going to at least make sure he saved Shizuku and make that fucker work for it.

And if he was really lucky, the rage over his death would let Fu or Naruto rage mode into their chakra cloaks and they could tear him apart.

"Open it up, let's do it." he ordered Fu, already beginning to focus his chakra.

Fu stared at him for a moment, before standing up beside him from where she remained kneeling at the hole, and smiling brightly at him, "Yeah, let's do it!" she agreed.

She held her hand in a seal, and a split moment later, the cocoon dissolved from around them, leaving them to free fall from where it was stuck to the bottom of a huge branch.

Fu whipped ahead of him with her buzzing wings, shooting down through the air and running through a series of quick hand seals, then opened her mouth and spewed forth a whirlwind of glittering powder that rained down from above.

A startled shout left Suien's mouth as she powder danced down over his form.

"Fu!" he roared angrily, tightening his grip around Shizuku's neck, making her eyes widen with pain as her windpipe was crushed.

Growling, Daiki kicked off of the tree and exploded downwards in the fastest shunshin he'd ever used.

He summoned his tanto to his hand for accuracy and as he came down he aimed straight for the Jonin's skull to pierce it from above.

He juked to the side and just avoided it, the sleeve on his arm ripping as his blade slashed into it and drew blood and Daiki impacted the ground hard enough to make a crater beneath himself.

The man countered instantly, his foot lashing out with a blindingly fast roundhouse.

Daiki didn't even attempt to dodge, he took it straight on in the chest. He felt his ribs, only barely mended, snap under the blow once again and a roar of agony left him, but he pushed on regardless.

He slapped his hand not holding his tanto onto the mans ankle and unleashed the Force Palm Jutsu.

His arm bones felt like they were turning to powder.

A shockwave erupted and spread through his kicking leg and the man shouted in pain, "Little shit!" he spat, eyes closed over and summarily, let go of Shizuku.

Daiki caught her in the hand he unleashed his jutsu with, wrapping his arm around her and jumping back, while at the same time tossing his tanto towards Sasuke.

The blade pierced through the rope binding him, letting the Uchiha drop to his feet below the Tori Gate he was dangling from before.

"Daiki!" the Uchiha grinned at him and leapt over, as he did, he noticed, Sasuke's nose was broken as well, his face covered in blood and deep bruising.

A second later, Fu landed on the other side of him, opposite Sasuke.

He gave them both a nod, and looked down to Shizuku who was trembling in his grip, "Daiki-nii-chan?" she whimpered.

Doing his best to ignore his painfully protesting body, Daiki gently sat her down and pat her head, "You're safe now," he told her, before quickly pushing her towards the Tori Gate that led to inside the massive tree, "Go hide in there, quickly, this is gonna get dangerous."

Thankfully, she was a smart girl, and did as told, quickly running inside to hide.

Suien thankfully, ignored her, instead the man, eyes bloodshot and glaring bloody daggers at them, was standing a good fifty feet away, rubbing at his ankle, "You know what, I'm going to enjoy crushing your skull between my palms you little brat," he huffed, before grinning as he set his foot back on the ground, "This works out even better though, right Shibuki! How do you think Konoha will like to find out some of their precious little kiddie shinobi got killed here? Or how about I snap the snack of this little failed weapon! You better be quick boy! If you don't I wi-

"Will you shut the fuck up already," Daiki snarled, "Nobody cares about your grandstanding you washed up old piece of shit."

"Yeah, what he said!" Fu flashed the Jonin the middle finger with.

Sasuke merely smirked, crossing his arms and nodding in agreement.

Suien snarled, "Uppity little brats!" he spat.

He twisted his foot behind him and was about to rush them-
