Introduction: The Chase!

It was a silent, warm and humid morning in the forest on the outskirts of Kumogakure. All the animals were in a tranquil trance, the predators were not attacking any prey so they could have a early morning snack but instead sitting peacefully in the fresh green grass. "MEEOOWWW!" says a frightened black cat as it running away from a young red-haired man and with that the peacefulness was quickly broken causing several animals start running frantically trying to find a hiding spot. "That idiot" says a cloaked young man as he watches Shinju struggling to catch the cat in tall tree. "Shinju wait up! We all don't have great stamina" says a young and beautiful blue-haired girl who is struggling is to keep up with Shinju.

The cloaked young man fed up with seeing Shinju struggle with catching a black cat jumps down from the tall tree directly five centimeters in front of the cat, giving it his cold stare that is now looking straight at the now tired Hikari and sweaty Shinju. "Pathetic! You were trusted by the Raikage himself to be the guardians of Kumogakure yet you can't catch a stupid little cat!" Takeshi frustratedly shouts as he picks up the cat and waves it around in front of Shinju and Hikari's faces as if it was a piece of garbage.

"Takeshi, I wouldn't do that if I were you because it isn't just a normal cat it is a cursed dol-" says Hikari but is quickly cut short by Takeshi. "Shh, someone with a large amount of chakra is surrounding us quickly." whispers Takeshi as he, Shinju and Hikari prepare to fight. "Hey guys! It's us, we came here to see how you were handling the cursed doll that transformed into a cat so it spy." shouts both Senji Ryakketsu and Chiyome Mochizuki, the senseis of Shinju, Takeshi and Hikari, and also the last members of Seibyō.

"WHAT!" shouts Takeshi as he drops the cat and losing his battle stance. "Why didn't anyone tell us" Takeshi says in a confused but calm voice. "Well actually I tried to tell you before you sensed Senji-sama and Chiyomi-sama's chakra and thought a enemy was about to attack us." says Hikari in a tone of voice that makes Takeshi feels as if she is trying to tease him in someway causing them to start a argument.

"Stop bickering you two and get ready for battle cause this thing is ready to fight us" says Shinju as he unsheathes Hiraishintō and is seeing the cat release purple chakra to initiate its transformation into its original form. Quickly ending their argument Takeshi and Hikari get ready for combat. Instead of aiding their students Senji and Chiyome body flicker themselves into a high tree and prepare to watch their apprentices in combat.
