Enter the forest of death: Anbu takes to the darkness.

Zenaku was enjoying his time relaxing and not having to take on any missions but that idea would soon be quickly shattered as there was suddenly a member of the anbu standing out side of his house so zenaku wearing his kimono and one arm out of the sleeve but draped out of the center of his robes opened up the door and looked at the shinobi. " Im sorry to be bugging you sir on your day off but we had a strange report of something rampaging in the forest and from its chakra levels its pretty strong. I was asked to get you and captain Sato as well as one or two others to go investigate the problem. "

Zenaku would rub his head all sleepy like as he thought about the things, so there was something rampaging though the woods so the anbu was being asked to investigate. There was not many people he could think of to take but he did promise his friend lilly that she would be able to go on a mission with him the next time he went, tho even tho this was not a mission he did not see this being to dangerous since him and sato would be along with her.

" Understood, man what a drag all well i guess it can not be helped. I shall gather sato and one other and head out to see what is making all this rampaging."

Zenaku watched as the anbu member vanished in a puff of smoke, after that zenaku walked back in to his home where he saw his mom making food and his dad sitting at the table with a paper. he just walked past them as he would put on his gear before heading out as he headed to Lilly's cause he wanted to catch her before she opened up her shop. Minutes later he arrived just in time just in time to see her ariving at the shop.

" Hey Lilly hold up, would you like to come with me and sato to the forest of death to investigate a problem." Zenaku asked her tho he already knew what her answer would be but he thought he would ask her any way. " Oh are you actually asking me to tag along with you. I would love to let me get my gear together." Lilly would go in to her stuff before she came back. " Ok sense your ready we no have to go and get Sato, i have never been to his place before but im sure we can find it."

Zenaku and Lilly would head out as the two young Uchiha's would head over to Sato Uchiha place to get him, it took them about a hour to find his place but once he did he would walk up and knock on his door.

The All Seeing Eye. This was what tipped off Satomi that there was a problem afoot. So by the time Zenaku and company had arrived. Sendo and Satomi were already dressed and waiting to intercept Zen. "Zen. We have no time to waste. You've been briefed. So here's the plan. Go ahead and scout whats causing this disturbance. I shall follow with Sendo and a few others." Sato was sure Zen would assess the situation before anyone else could. Preparing a sound approach to whatever it was that was rampaging in the forest. This was the first time someone had been brave enough to enter the doorsteps with malice.

The Professor assumed it was a beast of some sort but he needed Zenaku to confirm. Armed too the teeth in his ANBU gear and his own weapons and tools. Of course he would make sure Zen was safe. His speed rivaled that of bijuu itself. He would be quick to deal with this threat. They rushed to the gates where Zen would first make contact. Using Minds Eye he would be watching from afar ready to strike in a moments notice.

Minds Eye

It would seem that his captain already knew that zenaku was coming as he was already prepared for the approach into the forest of death. Normally people was not just able to go strolling around in there cause large animals was not the only things in the forest that could kill you. Luckily zenaku was able to go in cause he was a member of the anbu black ops but he was also a chunin. Zenaku and Lilly would exit from the gates as they hurried along though the tree branches as they headed deeper in to the forest of death.

The further zenaku and lilly got inside of the forest the noise could be heard of trees being broke and smashed like something was actually going on a rampage. When he finally got close enough to see what was going on he saw a man yelling in pain as well as he was covered in a red cloak made up of chakra. Instantly zenaku noticed what it was right away as being a cloak of a tailed beast. " Do not be concerned human this is not a true Jinjuriki, but instead a failed subject. Either he like so many others eat the flesh of a tailed beast and gained some of its power or some one did this to him."

The voice of the four tails inside of him spoke and it was very rare to even hear the beast speak cause he always thinks he is better then the humans and hates being stuck in zenaku but he had a point something was going on so he pressed a button on his com to report to Sato.

" Sato reporting in, I have found the source of the rampaging, it seems a person has managed to get some chakra from a tailed beast but right now he only has the first stage of the cloak. There can also be the slight chance that some one is using ninja as a test subject and infusing them with chakra of the tailed beast. So what would you like for me to do, should I try to stop him or wait for you to get here sir."

Zenaku would say though the com in his ear which was allowing him to directly speak to the captain of the anbu.

Satomi had been watching Zenaku through the Minds Eye, he had perceived a familiar chakra within the area. It was the same chaotic bijuu chakra that once housed itself into the body of his late cousin. Zenaku confirmed it when he spoke having already met the suspect. Satomi wasted no time of course, this was a dangerous individual if he had bijuu chakra. There was no telling what type of situation Konoha would be in. Using the Minds Eye to actually see where he was at. He would leave Sendo in the dust. There was no ninja alive who could catch him at full flight. He would appear beside Zenaku almost in a flash. Then the ANBU Captain would say, "Take him down now. Its an immediate threat." Satomi's eyes flashed with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, its pin-wheels spinning madly in both pupils.

The left eye began to charge as he was ready to erase this threat from this world. He would provide assistance to Zenaku while Sendo took sometime to catch up. There was no time to waste. Whomever it was already had the bijuu cloak activated. Which meant they were all in danger.

EMS

As zenaku squatted there on the tree branch waiting for his captain sato to respond he carefully kept a close eye on the ninja who was going on an rampage down on the ground. Just then sato arrived right beside him as he told zenaku to subdue the shinobi now as he was threat so zenaku and lilly would vanish. Before he and lilly vanished tho zenaku noticed that sato activate his sharingan but it looked so different then it did before and what he had was no longer the Mangekyo sharingan but something completely different. as they vanished and showed up in front of the ninja but he did not say any thing except growl so with one look at lilly she knew just what zenaku had up his sleeve so they both would activate there sharingan then tossed a smoke bomb at the rampaging ninja as it created a smoke screen around the guy.

" shadow clone jutsu" both zenaku and lilly said as they created a clone then they would surround the rampaging ninja as they threw throwing stars at the ninja. " ninja art shadow shuriken jutsu." The next thing that happened was all the shuriken that zenaku and lilly threw would multiply in to a hundred shuriken.

But something happened next that zenaku was not expecting as the ninja yelled so hard he sent a shock wave out which sent all the throwing stars back towards the users so zenaku with Kunai in hand managed to block a lot of the reversed attack but he was also hit by some so he had to pull them out as they clattered to the ground.

Zenaku attempted to take down the threat using a Shuriken technique. However as he had expected, the beasts power deflected it with great power. This demanded more finesse, it clearly became a dangerous S-rank mission. Meaning the safety of the village was at stake. Sendo appeared not long after, jumping towards the large branch beside Satomi. "Be prepared to provide cover for Zen. If it isn't stopped. I will stop it myself." Satomi ordered to Sendo. There was no doubt the beast would be strong enough to put up a fight with him. But he was sure nothing could stop him for long. So he would rely on Zenaku to defeat the man beast somehow. Sendo replied, "I'll stand by and provide a cover if he should fail." Sendo prepared a plan, making some handsigns, a powerful Genjutsu that would quell the man.

Sato: EMS

Zenaku could tell that this was no longer a investigation but was now a high ranking mission and this thing needed to be put down quickly. He looked over to lilly who was bleeding from some spots where the shuriken had hit her.

Zenaku was about to go in for the attack but the beast quickly got to lilly and punched her into a tree which knocked her out. Seeing this caused zenaku rage to be unleashed as a ominous aura could be sensed around zenaku. The power of zenaku four tailed beast began to leak out of him as his fangs extended as well as the fingernails. Thanks to this tho zenaku had gained a small boost in his power, doing some hand signs zenaku started throwing fire balls towards the guy as they hovered in the air around him, he would then do the tiger sign which caused them to explode in a chain reaction.

This was the first time that zenaku had used the power of his tailed beast. After a while of fighting zenaku the power of his tailed beast power turned off which have the other ninja the opportunity to come after zenaku but unfortunately things did not go very well as lilly managed to step in front of zenaku ad she took the thrusting attack which went right though her chest killing her.

When zenaku saw this his rage and sadness built up to such a point as he just lost his best friend as well as the girl he loved. This caused a pain to build in his eyes as they went from stage 3 sharingan to being the mangekyo sharingan. The colors of his sharingan was different then most cause the colors was reversed as his sharingan was back and red instead of being red and black.

Zenaku could feel much stronger now and the thing was so close to zenaku he activated his Mangekyo sharingan and he used the tsukeyomi which put the shinobi into powerful genjutsu where he was still fighting but instead he was inna daze now.

Activated mangekyo sharingan.

Times used tsukeyomi 1.

It was unfortunate. Though he moved at high speeds, shinobi allied with Zenaku was not quick enough to avoid a fatal blow from the Jinchuuriki. The women was had been struck in the chest and sent reeling backwards into a tree. Her chakra signature waned from the powerful blow. But the attack prompted a change within Zenaku. Satomi was about to act, but he knew this change would be important. In every Uchiha, they were cursed with a power unlike any other. Though it was based in tragedy, there were no happy Uchiha. However they were very powerful in exchange.

The Mangekyou Sharingan. The boy had unlocked it. Immediately he turned its great power onto the Jinchuriki. Satomi's eyes peered into the chakra system of Zenaku. He had placed a powerful Genjutsu on the rampaging enemy. This could only be the work of Tsukyomi. A genjutsu that could even put him out of commission. No better way to improve ones strength. He held up a hand making Sendo pause. He would get stronger through his pain.

Tears would be streaming down the face of the young uchiha, his Mangekyo sharingan would deactivate back to his normal eyes as he walked past the immobile person as the genjutsu which zenaku had placed him under would keep him like he was for at least a week so there was no chance that he would be able to break free and attack again. Zenaku would walk over to where Lilly was laying as he knelt down and picked her up as he would walk back towards Sato as he was now standing in front of his captain. " Sato i leave the rest up to you, i need to get Lilly back to the village im sorry."

Zenaku did not wish to leave just yet but he knew that as the captain of the anbu black ops he would be able to take the beast man in as there was no reason why the beast would be able to attack sense he was locked in to a never ending fight between the to of them in his mind. Just then zenaku would suddenly vanish as he headed towards the village.

( Exited thread)

As with the duties of a ninja, come the hardships. Satomi and Sendo weren't quick enough to stop the girl from dying. But the new powers awakened by Zenaku was well worth it. This was the burden of their clan, in order to achieve great power. They first needed to require great anguish. A vicious cycle that had befallen all of them, which was how he got his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. But the enemy for now had been defeated, "Sendo, gather the Intelligence forces and seal this place off. Our investigation should yield how this beast came to be. Report back when you get some leads."

"Yes sir." Sendo replied, disappearing from the tree branch.

Satomi followed Zenaku back home. They had to grieve still.
