After bidding goodbye to the old shop owner with a warm smile on his face, Bakorio calmly turned around and started making his way up to the Katabami gold mine that wasn't that far from the curry of life shop.

Dealing with the Kurosuki family was one of his goals when he came here but it wasn't his main purpose, his goal was to complete the advancement quest for the medical art mastery!

[Medical art Advancement Quest: Life is a miracle that no one can truly comprehend or understand the true value of, this is why healing is a miraculous art as it can prolong that life or restore it to the way it was meant to be… Heal 5 terminally ill people and raise them to full health. Current progress 4/5]

Itachi, Kimimaro, Murata and Nagato… Each had serious illnesses that would have resulted in their untimely deaths if they weren't treated quickly, but they eventually met Bakorio and he managed to treat them, and now he only needed one more person to treat before he can complete the mission…

His target to complete the mission was a member of the Kurosuki family, but not any normal member, this criminal gang was a bunch of rogue ninjas ruled a by a former member of Kiri's seven ninja swordsmen, Raiga Kurosuki.

He was known as the thunder of the hidden mist as he wielded the thunder swords, Kiba. However, one day during the third ninja world war, he and the rest of the swordsmen were chasing after Guy's team, and his father, Dai ended up sacrificing himself by opening the 8th gate and killed 4 of the swordsmen and only 3 survived and ran away, and he was one of them….

Bakorio's target however wasn't this washed-up swordsman, it was a special young boy that became an inseparable part of his life...

He slowly made his way into the mine and right as he arrived near the entrance, a few hidden members of the Kurosuki family started throwing shurikens and Kunais at him

"Attack first questions later huh? well, let's make it death first then..." muttered Bakorio as his Sharingans revolved eerily and he calmly dodged all of the projectiles and caught some of them in the air, and threw them back at every single criminal that attacked him.

Then, the miners watched as he didn't even falter for a second in his steps and kept moving forward while the criminals started falling from their hidden locations with their own weapons lodged in their heads... A bloody scene was left behind him.

"All of you are safe, you don't need to worry about the Kurosuki family anymore" Spoke Bakorio calmly as he stopped for the first time and the miners' eyes couldn't help but tear up… Bakorio stared at their disheveled and skinny figures as they dropped their mining equipment one after the other and started thanking him but he simply frowned and thought…

'I can barely detect the leader… This is quite surprising considering that my Sharingan is evolved and had already reached level 100…' Thought Bakorio with intrigue in his eyes before he locked eyes with a certain teenager that was dressed like the criminals before he appeared in front of him directly and asked coldly "Do you want to live?"

"Y-Y-Yes…" Replied Karashi, Sancho's son while stuttering and he almost wet his pants, but some of the miners instantly reacted "Sir, please don't spare him, he's also a member of the Kurosuki family"

"Indeed, he even left his own mother selfishly…"

Bakorio stared at Karashi coldly and thought 'It's a shame that I need to let this pest live without letting him learn a good lesson…' So, he turned to the miners and said "Make sure to teach him the price of his wrong choices, but leave him alive for me…"

The miners' eyes instantly lit up as they picked up their equipment again and surrounded Karachi who instantly started begging them to have mercy on him but it was to no avail as the miners gave him the beating of his life;

Meanwhile, Bakorio made his way to a house on top of a hill and calmly said "Don't think you can ambush me, you can't escape my eyes…"

However, he received no response, so he let out a sigh and approached the door of the house to open It but it directly exploded on him. Clearly, the enemy was experienced and they put explosive tags on the door that would trigger when someone opens it.

But that wasn't the end of their ambush as a man instantly behind Bakorio who was flung by the explosion. he wore a grey hooded mantle with three red stripes that appeared to be carrying something on his back. And under his mantle, Raiga wore a dark-brown sleeveless vest falling to his knees where the inside was purple, a light brown belt, light grey pants, and like all the ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, he had bandages covering most of his body, his neck down to his chest, including his arms and his shinbones.

He held the famous Kiba swords in his hands and they were covered in lightning that could allow him to cut through almost anything… and right now, he was aiming to stab at Bakorio's throat and heart to finish him off directly!

However, Bakorio calmly twisted in the air and used a Chidori to coat his hand in lighting and easily deflected his attacks before he calmly said "And out come the rabbit from its hole"

Raiga's face darkened slightly as he could tell that Bakorio wasn't nervous at all and more importantly, the explosion didn't cause him any damage so he couldn't help but ask "How did you find me? All Dojutsu should be useless against me, and why are you unscathed from the explosion?"

Bakorio stared at his spotless clothes and shrugged before an exoskeleton covered his body to the shock of Raiga and said "Let's just say I'm extra tough, and my Sharingan is quite special, which is why that little fella on your back wasn't capable of completely hiding your presence"

Raiga's frown deepened as he thought 'Who is this monster? That ability, where did I see it before?' wondered Raiga, but before he could contemplate further, Bakorio rushed at him and said "Show me the skill of a ninja swordsman from the mist" and Raiga watched in shock as the lightning covering his hand transformed into a lightning blade!

'What kind of crazy chakra control is this!' Wonder Raigan. However, Bakorio didn't give him much time to think about it and started clashing with him.

Raiga didn't comprehend what he was experiencing, Bakorio's attacks weren't strong or fast for him to deal with, but his mastery of the sword was simply beyond him, and he could barely deal with the difference in skill as Bakorio kept putting more and more pressure on him until they arrived to a point where Bakorio increased the speed of his swing and aimed to slash at his stomach making it appear like he was putting his all in it!

'This is bad, I need to defend!' Thought Raiga, but a voice suddenly yelled from behind him "NO RAIGA! HE'S JUST FAINTING!"

"Eh?" Raiga was shocked as he watched Bakorio's lightning sword flowing like water and his slash turned smoothly into a stab while avoiding his swords and headed right to his throat stopping just mere millimeters away from it

"Not bad kid, it seems like your Dojutsu is better than I thought?" Muttered Bakorio while staring at the load on Raiga's back and completely ignoring him…

Then, a kid's voice suddenly echoed once more, the same voice that warned Raiga, and it was still hurried "I can tell that you aren't here with evil intent and are probably interested in me, I will do anything you want, However, please spare Raiga!"

"Eh? I'm not that sort of creep" muttered Bakorio with a shrug, but Raiga didn't like this situation and suddenly exploded in lightning from every pore of his body that rose all the way to the sky!

"Lightning Dragon Tornado!"

'Hmm this is quite similar to Kirin huh? not bad' thought Bakorio as he watched the Dragon of lightning rushing at him with a menacing force…
