Katsumi knew that something had to be handled about the village, and he knew that the first thing he could do as the man who would be soon the Raikage, he would have to address one of the most local issues. It's been known to Konoha, who hadn't addressed the issue due to complications with diplomacy, and Katsumi had known for a long time that he would be one of the ninja to handle the situation. It was part of who he was to directly address something he considered wrong, and this was something that would require his attention.

It was only moments ago he was outside of the Raikage's towers, but he knew with addressing this issue he wasn't worthy of claiming the title. He had landed in the outskirts of the village, and with out a doubt he was already within 45 meters of the compound of the richest members of the village. They had surrounded themselves with a noticable force of ninja; none of them bore the head band of a Kumo-nin. This wasn't suprising seeing as most of the ninja didn't wish to even dwell on the problem. They didn't have hope enough to gather themselves as one force, much less fight another well-organized force. It simply wasn't theirs to handle anyways.

He would make sure this was handled in a fashion that fitted the title of Raikage. Two men stood at the gates of the compound which had a very simple layout, making it much easier for the other guards to notice what was about to happen. The main building was obviously the hub for the ninja to reach to stop anyone from entering directly into the compound. From that hub there was no other direct entrance and exit. This would make it more difficult to enter, but at the same time it would make it very difficult to leave.

He also noticed that there was several smaller sections from the center hub, each one spaced out accordingly. This meant that the higher-ups lived in their own sections of this massive compound.

Katsumi walked up directly to the guards, his face now covered with a white linen cloth that covered from the bridge of his nose to the top of his chest. He looked directly at them, waiting for a response.

The man on the right looked at his partner, and back at Katsumi with an arrogant look on his face, before spouting out, "You need to the get the fuck out of here before we use you as target practice."

Katsumi laughed a little bit, his laugh slightly muffed because of the cloth infront of his face. He looked at the man, and raised his hand in a rude gesture as known as "giving someone the bird".

The man's face grew red, his hands tensed up, and all of the lack of skill he truly had unearthed itself in one quickly misplaced action. He drew a kunai from his sleeve, and ran directly at Katsumi. Katsumi measured the man's steps in the split second it took him to arrive just infront of him. The distance was originally 5 meters, but now it was a mere half of a meter. Katsumi smirked underneath the wraps and quickly pivoted off of his back foot, raising his other leg in the air. His foot pushed out, aiming directly for the man's hand, which it connected with, sending the man's weapon flying into a nearby tree which it lodeged itself into. Katsumi continued his spin, allowing the foot that just hit the man's hand to land, switching to the other foot to now inflict the approiate amount of damage to the man's face. The foot connected with the man's left temple, knocking him out.

Katsumi finished the move by staggering his feet into a low squat, bringing his hands up into a fighting postion. He couldn't contain the anger of the man's arrogant actions anymore, so he simply yelled out, "SHAMEFUL!"

The man's body served as a marker to the other man who raised his hands without saying a word and left his post. No doubt his outburst would bring a lot of attention to his position, but it didn't matter. The higher ranking ninja that were hired would be around the rich bastards. These men and few women were simply fodder. A good warm-up for him to play with.

The flooded the gate's pathway, which left Katsumi still in fighting stance. He smiled, and looked at them for a moment. From the quick count he performed it looked like there was about 15 in total. No doubt they were fodder; their very look gave them away. They were armed with light weaponary, very few had any form of armor on, and all of them were standing directly in the gateway. They had bottlenecked themselves.

He smirked once again, and summoned forth a chain from each of his formarms. Nothing spectacular, but it would something very interesting to witness. Along with chains being summoned Katsumi brought forth the well known Sharingan with the aid of the seals that laid hidden behind his eye-lids. The single tomoe eyes did little to reveal his strength, but it didn't matter at this point. After the chains were summoned he quickly motioned his arms to wrap the chain around his forearms, which were already covered in cloth. The chains reached around the upper-forearm, the wrist, the hand; looking much like a fighter's glove. The chain gloves and the Sharingan caused the 15 ninja to step back for a moment. One finally spoke up, a man from the back who yelled out, "He can't be that talented! He only has one tomoe! He's just..."

Katsumi didn't wait any longer. He rushed directly at them, his fists at his sides, ready to use for whatever weaponary would be used to slow him down. As he ran he not only started to notice, but he took good note that he could see the 15 ninja's chakra. It was strange, but it didn't stop him from continuing on his path.

He quickly slid to a halt in the center of them, realizing that they had all been too suprised by his speed to actually counter his dash to the center of their mass. A woman finally drew and threw several shurkien, which he easily countered with the chain wrapped around his forearms. He looked around, and drew himself back into his fighting stance.

The ninja looked among themselves, and finally rushed into to meet this aggresor. Katsumi took in a deep breath knowing that even as skiled as he was, going with one jutsu he had never really trained with and another he hadn't used in ages, was going to prove to more difficult that he had faced in the past.

A woman arrived infront of him first, and she was the first to get backhanded directly across his lower jaw. The chains slightly shifted behind the power of the blow, but Katsumi knew to keep his center of mass as close as possible making it diffcult to get to his back. He watched as another ninja caught the knocked out woman, and another took her place just infront of him. He faked a high strike, and then quickly lowered himself to the ground. The sweep kick he performed was beatiful in the sense that it not only knocked the man off of his feet but it caused another ninja to fall as well. Katsumi continued to spin until he faced his rear flank, and looked directly at 8 other ninja. The man who was sweep kicked wasn't out of the fight yet, making the total count of this group's active members still 14. Katsumi would have to make this much faster, which meant taking a more aggressive approach.

He quickly rushed at the waiting members, knowing that they weren't skilled enough in taijutsu due to the fact they were trying to hide in the background of the conflict. He took three of them out with a wide spinning kick which he landed several times over by continuing to spin after first contact was made, landing again, and spinning once again.

11 stood gazing at him in his extremely powerful stance. They didn't know what to do, but they didn't dare let up. Forcing themselves to act caused another 6 to fall to an array of taijutsu movements that was nothing short of masterful. Each step Katsumi took counted to his advantage. The 5 remaining backed up.

'Now things are about to get interesting...', Katsumi thought to himself.

The 5 ninja started to form handseals, none of them too fast to read, but it was skilled enough to cause Katsumi some concern in the combination they were performing them in.

Two of the ninja formed two Katon jutsu of moderate size, while the other three performed a Futon jutsu that they directed directly into the Katon jutsu. Katsumi knew that they couldn't be much worse, but this told him they had some training in the arts of the shinobi. He quickly took to the side of the wall, knowing that they would continue to waste their chakra in hopes of stopping his movements into the compound. Katsumi quickly let the chains slide off of his hands, and rest on the ground.

He waited for a moment, and heard them shuffling to repeat the same process.

'It took them about 3 second to perform the elemental combination, so I have about two left to extend the chains...'

Katsumi turned off of the wall, and pushed with both hands into the compounds court-yard, which sent the chains flying into the open area. The chains were shadowed by the massive fireball coming directly at him. Katsumi quickly disengaged the chains, and took back to the wall.

The fireball passed by, as did the chains. The chains grew superheated, and met the two ninja who had combined their efforts with a red hot collection of metal to the lower abdomen. They screamed out in pain, and the other three ninja took notice. The men wouldn't be moving anytime soon with the chains wrapping around their bodies several times over, making them wait to take them off as the metal burned deep into the flesh.

Katsumi knew he had the situation outside handled. He quickly took from around the wall, and met the ninja with his taijutsu stance once more. They all raised their arms in surrender, and dropped the weapons they held in their hands. Katsumi tilted his head quickly to the side, motioning them to leave the area. They did as he ordered.

Katsumi could feel the use of his chakra from the doujutsu he had brought forth, but it was manageable. It was something he would have to make sure he didn't over use in future combat-scenerios, but for the time being he needed to use it.

As he turned back to face the central building of the compound, he noticed three women, all of them wearing the same outfit other than differing coloring patterns, who looked almost exactly alike.

Katsumi quickly performed a small purge of chakra, making sure that it wasn't a genjutsu. His eyes squinted as he realized it wasn't.

The women took notice of the fallen fodder out in the courtyard; the moans and groans of pain didn't set their minds at ease.

The first woman, who was dressed in blue, spoke, "You've dispatched them with ease it seems, but we're not going to be so easy."

The second woman spoke, he clothes were a mesh of black and yellow, "You'll find that we're much more skilled than these pathetic group."

The third woman spoke, her clothes green, "I want his swords when we kill him. They're pretty."

Katsumi looked at each of them, measuring the chakra flow of each of them out at time. They were all B-rank ninja, but the issue wasn't what one of their skill was, but rather the skill of them combined.

The first woman, the one in blue, quickly formed handseals that were hard to keep up with. Katsumi's concern rose, and he quickly stepped back to the compunds wall, and jumped onto the ledge. The woman opened her mouth and expelled a massive amount of water. The water filled the courtyard, but at the same time it caused the woman to strain in her efforts. Katsumi could see that she had very little chakra left. The third woman, the one dressed in green, formed handseals to seal off all of the exits, which contained the water from the first woman's efforts. The second and third woman still had a good amount of chakra stored, and it wouldn't be long before they performed their battle plan.

Katsumi waited on the edge of the wall and waited. The second woman, the one dressed in black and gold, formed handseals at such a high rate that he couldn't see what element she was bringing forth. She quickly kneeled and laid her hand on the water, and as she did, a massive current of electricity began to flow from the water. Katsumi knew he didn't have much time to move, so he jumped from the walls edge to the corner post of the wall. The woman jerked her head, looking at Katsumi with a mask of frustration.


He could tell she wasn't used to her jutsu not working on the first try. He wasn't suprised. The jutsu's speed was expounded dramatically by the water the other woman created. The third woman had yet to reveal her skill set, but he didn't doubt she would become troublesome if he didn't deal with it. He hadn't noticed it, but the third woman had finished her handseals, causing a large pillar of earth to appear behind him. He didn't think, as he jumped on the water. As soon as he landed he felt the lightining begin to surge through him. It wasn't enough to stop him, but it was enough to cause him a great deal of pain. He didn't yell out, but he did form the hand seal 'Ram' as fast as he possible could. A torrent of wind rose up from the center of his mass, and caused the pain to stop. The futon style jutsu also caused the lightining to stop surging for the moment allowing him to reset his feet back on to the water for the time being.

He quickly jumped from the water into the air. The second woman begin to form handseals as Katsumi reached the small patch of earth the the three women were standing on. The third stepped back to the edge, and started to form handseals. Katsumi waited for the second woman to finish her jutsu which was a smaller form of the well known Chidori. Her two fingers, the pointer/middle finger, had a moderate amount of lightining flowing from them. He knew that he had little time to do what he knew he needed to to stop this deadly combination. He quickly grabbed her wrist, and pulled it towards the area in between his side and armpit. At the same time he quickly mule kicked the weakened water used into the water. He continued the grappling method as he drove the woman into the water, causing it all to surge up.

The water user passed out, the lightining user was paralyzed for the moment, which Katsumi used to his advantage. He brought his free hand up and smashed it down on the back of the woman's head. It was enough to knock her out into the water, causing her to drift to the bottom of the pool of water.

Katsumi quickly turned to the doton user, and smirked underneath the cloth wrappings, " Your two comrades have fallen into the very trap you set for me. You have a very limited time before they die. Are you willing to die with them? Or will you take my offer and leave this village before I decide to kill you too?"

She looked into the water, and lowered her hands. The last thing that the woman wanted was for someone to die over what was going on in the village. He quickly formed handseals in a slow enough rate that it didn't cause Katsumi any concern. The walls that were holding up the water crumbled, and drained the courtyard.

Katsumi's covered mouth didn't reveal the smile he was wearing on his face as he asked, "Are there anymore of you?"

She shook her head no, and jumped off of the mound of earth she made. She quickly checked her allies pulses and tended to their new wounds. Katsumi looked inside and jumped into the hub building. He went from room to room yanking out each and everyone of the rich people, binding them in the chains he had summoned before.

He walked them directly into the village, which was still being surrounded by a massive collection of storm clouds. He wrapped them all up as one group, just before knocking on the door to the jail.

He quickly left, and took to the walls of the village once again. His eyes were sore, and as he rubbed them he began to realize that everything he was watching seemed to be easier to see. He rubbed his eyes once again and looked around. He couldn't believe it but for some odd reason he felt as if he could read the lips of the people who were astounded by the capture of the rich bastards that had caused them all their suffering.

Katsumi closed his eyes and deactivated his Sharingan. Perhaps he had finally reached the two tomoe; something he would need in the furture.
