Chapter 5: The Thunder Swordsmen

The swordsmen are walking towards the front gate of the west. He looks at the front gate in the far distance and suddenly he stops. He looked up into the sky and sees the thunders up above the clouds. He sees that the village is currently peaceful. 

He stops for some time and feels around him that something strange is happening. He's a thunderbolt swordsman powerful and rarest of them all. 

He's wearing a yellow-orange kimono and marked signs in part of his kimono symbolizing thunder and lightning bolt. He also has a nichirin blade on his left side. He's wearing boots along with the long down dress. 

He slowly turned around and sees the two-story houses blocking the sight of the capital and also because of the darkness. He once again look up and go back to where he was looking at. The front gate. He started walking as he was suddenly on guard as he walk bypass a few people around him.

"I'm one of the blessed talented Swordsmen, what should I do with this kind of talent, I'm faster than the speed of sound and thunder, my master taught me that do kind things and I will find peace... Yes- I find peace... But my life is ruined when he died, I did nothing when he died, my masted is one of the few blessed swordsmen too, but he died because of an illness that cannot be healed," the unknown thunder swordsmen said as he looked up in the sky once again. 

He gazes up at the sky. He slowly looks down and looks straight and sees the gate of the west that he's almost there, he looked around him and sees that he's in a quiet place and senses no people around, he suddenly senses two people behind him running towards him with there swords out. "We all die in the same way but I didn't expect you two to die in my hands," he said as he gently pulled out his sword from his left using his right hand. 

He turned around and sees two big men with two big swords holding. They both swing their swords right at the thunder swordsman. The thunder swordsman pulled out his sword and manage to swing its sword with them. 

They change position as the thunder swordsman kneels and looks back and sees the both of them are completely deadly serious. He looks back at his sword and sees that it has blood on it. "Too shallow... Tsk!! But I manage to swing my sword right at their waist, they're sure are fast and strong, but they're now probably weak of what I've done," the thunder swordsman said in his mind as the wind blows at him. He stands up as the two men who attack him slowly turned around like it was nothing. 

"They stand?! Impossible, ha! I might need to use that move technique, I need to be careful not to use my trump card," the thunder swordsman said as he face the two from a distance as he holds his sword in his right. 

"Your good! Good good! We haven't met one of you for ages, we both are honored to meet you! Thunder swordsmen... Oh yeah of course our name, my name is Woshi and this is Geri, we are one of the powerful members of the-- oh yeah I'm not permitted to say it, now where we're we," Woshi said as the thunder swordsman slowly turns to the left. 

"We are here to talk to you! Thunder swordsman!" Geri said furiously. "Hey calm down there would you aye?" The thunder swordsman asks in a happy voice. "What is this talking your on about? You both nearly killed me? If you're saying that I should join your group or whatever is this called I am not joining! You both are completely out of my league. Now leave before I slaughtered you both," the thunder swordsman said calmly as he stops walking showing only the right side of his body and his thunder sword. 

"I guess we both have to force you, after all, we just follow orders..." Woshi said as he flew towards the thunder swordsman. Geri is right behind him. He also flew toward the thunder swordsman who is giving a different vibe.

Thunder occurred up above them in the clouds and the thunder swordsman lit up thunder color around his body and suddenly the air around him vibrate as he looked at Geri and Woshi.

The thunder swordsman moves into a defensive position. He sees Geri and Woshi flew at him and quickly their swords collided as around the thunder swordsman started to vibrate even more. 

He manages to defend himself against those two as thunder occurred striking them three. The two big swordsmans quickly flew back wounded in the shoulders. The thunder stops and the vibration of the air around the thunder swordsmen stops. 

"I warned you both, oh also... I forgot to say my name, my name is Kaminari Raiu, one of the thunder swordsmen," the thunder swordsmen said who is named Kaminari Raiu. He looked at Woshi and Geri who is both bleeding on their right shoulders. 

"We need to retreat, he controlled that thunder there's no doubt, and he's not even wounded when that thunderstruck at us three," Geri said whispering to Woshi who is heavily wounded in the shoulders. 

"My wound is deep, but we need to finish the job," he said as he also whisper to Geri. "Yeah! Geri's right! You should both retreat or else," Kaminari Raiu said in a serious tone as he looked at Geri and Woshi from a distance. 

"How did he?" Geri said in his mind in surprise as he slowly backed away and did not let his guard down. "You both can't beat me in that state, you both will lose your lives in no honorable way..." Kaminari Raiu said as he raises his left hand pointing at the two of them. 

"If you won't come with us... Prepare for war! Thunder Swordsmen! You all live in the days of peace, but we leave in suffering," Woshi said furiously as breathed as he holds his right shoulder stopping the bleeding. 

"And? What do you think the war will cause? Suffering? Doing it again? And having you indifferent soul? Instead of having a peaceful life? Why won't you help the others? And find kids who will counter the same faith as you! Help them rise! Here's the thing, probably both of you at a young age no one helps you! Don't forget that you live in this world to do good as possible so that their faith doesn't go to evil, doesn't go through your sufferings..." Kaminari Raiu said in a serious tone as Woshi kneel on the ground as he holds his big sword in his right hand as his left hand is holding his right shoulder.

"We fight for a better future because the west heads are filthy traitors, I wouldn't be here but because of them, I'm here! They ordered my parents to go to a sacred place in a part of the world where no one came back alive, they didn't say to my father that is the place, my father was a swordsman, when he go there he never came back and there must be money to give the heads to us if my dad can't didn't come back alive, they said they would give it to my mother but they lied! Instead, they killed my mother! And I'm the only one that survived! My sister got killed and-- rap---!" Geri said furiously as he charges right at the thunder swordsmen. 

He position his sword up and suddenly flew at the thunder swordsmen. Geri swings it down but the thunder swordsmen gently move to the left dodging his attack. 

He swings it down to the ground where the thunder swordsman is standing. The ground is destroyed making big cracks on it. Kaminari Raiu is holding his sword in his right hand as he watches Geri destroy the ground where he was standing a second ago.

"These guys are surely suffering for a long time but that doesn't mean they will save the others by causing a war, they will make more people suffer, I will stop this war once in for all, and ki... Kill these two," Kaminari Raiu said in his mind as he hover and hears Woshi flew on the left side of him. He quickly jumps up in the sky as he touches the ground with his left foot.

He's twenty feet above them. "I can't believe that only happened for three seconds, they manage to team up on me in just a small amount of time, good thing I use the thunder strike and power up my body, or else I would be dead. They're wounded but still, they manage to be fast," Kaminari Raiu said in his mind again as he hover up above them.

"I should capture them but, that will take some time," Kaminari Raiu said to them both out loud as he was above them. Suddenly an Unknown black coat swordsman shows up behind Kaminari and kicked him in the back making him flew down and towards the two-story houses in the distance where people are inside. 

The black coat swordsman slowly falls to the ground gently as he quickly goes toward Geri and Woshi. Geri looked to his left and sees the thunder swordsmen getting covered by woods and debris of the two-story houses that got destroyed. 

"Dammit... Who is that...? I didn't hear him or sense him, tsk...! This is a dangerous place, I will use that dangerous move if I have to," Kaminari Raiu said in his mind as he feels the pain in his back and front of him. He still holding his sword. 

"The house has no people in it, and it's an abandoned house, there's should be no casualties," the unknown dark coat swordsman said as he reaches his hands towards his shoulder of Woshi. 

Thunder occurred again in the clouds and around Kaminari the thunder swordsmen, the air is vibrating. The wood and debris started going up. Thunderstrike him and suddenly he's standing. Yellow color is showing around his body as the air continues to vibrate and gets intense heat around Kaminari. 

"Tsk...! Shinwa get him!!!" Woshi said as the dark coat swordsman who is named Shinwa pulled out his sword but it was too late. Kaminari Raiu flew towards them faster than the speed of thunder. Woshi pushed Shinwa to dodge the impenetrable attack of Kaminari. 

Kaminari Raiu swings his sword right at Shinwa but manages to dodge by getting pushed. Kaminari Raiu twists his body and spins in the middle of the air between the two and manages to cut the left hand of Shinwa. 

He also manages to decapitate the head of Woshi who slowly falls to the ground dead. Kaminari swing his sword in the air and pulled back his sword and kick Geri in the back heavily and making him spit out blood and fall to the ground losing consciousness. 

He turned around and sees Shinwa slowly standing up as he have his left-hand bleeding, he was holding his sword in his right hand. "You! We suffer here! The heads of the west throw us like we are not their people! They made us exiled! For more than twenty years!" Shinwa said furiously as he lift his sword and pointed it at Kaminari Raiu. 

"We are at the place of the west, where there are no people around us but empty houses, abandoned, I assume that... You all, you're people once lived here," Kaminari Raiu said in a calm voice. 

"So what?! Yes! We live here once!" Shinwa said furiously as his left hand continues to bleed. "I'm sorry for all of your people's losses... I know that I'm in no place to understand," Kaminari Raiu said peacefully as Shinwa's eyes widen, and slowly sat down on the ground. 

"The both of you will live, I will both turn over you to the northeast in the hands of a chieftain... I will talk to her politely, I have to kill your friend, because for a specific reason... He killed my superior back in the day and I will never forget the face of that man who killed my superior... Now sleep!" Kaminari Raiu said as he punched Shinwa in the face making him sleep and fall to the ground.  

He looked around him and sees it so dark but there was still a light post around working. He feels peaceful. He stretches his back and made a crack sound. 

In the east. Uroski Shima and Himiri Shima are going in their newly bought house inside the east main village. It's a three-story house that has three bathrooms on every floor and a bathtub and a place where you eat the kitchen, and the dining room has a fireplace.

It also has four bedrooms and an attic. "This is our new home son! This is where you're gonna put your wife in! So what do you want for today? Eat some fresh dinner that I just bought or get some sleep?" Uroski Shima asks as he opened the door and walks into their newly bought house. 

Himiri Shima is right behind him as he remained silent and walks into the house. He walks past his father by walking to the right side of him where in front of him in a distance is upstairs.

"Alright so you decided to sleep, so see you tomorrow son have a good sleep, just go down here in the kitchen I will leave some food and I will sleep on the couch." Uroski Shima said as he goes back and lock the door using his right hand and holding the food that he bought in his left hand.

Himiri Shima walks up and reaches his room. He sees two doors. He opened the door to his left and sees two bunks with a comfy bed two pillows and a blanket. 

He walked toward his bed to the left and lay down on the bed. He quickly falls asleep because he's so tired of the work that his given today. He left the door open.

Uroski Shima quietly walks upstairs and sees the door on the left opened a small distance up. He reaches the door. He looks inside and sees Himiri Shima has fallen asleep. 

Uroski Shima smiled and quietly closes the door. He breathes and looks to his right and sees that there are two more doors and a window in front of him and another behind him. He smiles continuously and feels so much if everything is peaceful, he smells the peace and feels it.

In the west, Zuo Kakishi is standing at the heads menacingly in front of the round table. "Now, please. Who accepts my offer?" Zuo Kakishi asked as he wave his right hand and raises it. 

"I will control all of you, and once I control the west I will conquer the other nations and conquer the world, hear me out! You guys are old, so if you let me control the west peacefully your lives will be forgiven, and not only that you will see me conquer the world in a small amount of time..." He said as he sees two of the heads doubting something. 

"There's no blood needed inside the west, it's fine if it's outside," the other head said who is on the right side of Zuo Kakishi. He goes towards the heads who speak to him and pick up his shirt and raises him using his left hand. 

"Yes! And why do you think I'm here?! Ha?! We fight for our lives since we were born! Just because of you I am here, and now I will kill you for good and not bother my soul!!" Zuo Kakishi said furiously as he grabbed his sword in his left using his right hand. 

"No! Don't you dare! If you lose me there will be people w-" the head said as he got interrupted because Zuo Kakishi decapitated him. He let go of the man and slowly falls to the ground dead. Blood dripping on Zuo Kakishi's sword as he sees the man's head rolling to the left. 

He slowly turned around slowly to see the other heads of the village. The only one left. "That feels so much better, it's been a long time since I feel that relaxation in my body, so you're left huh! And you're the new leader also in the northern region of the West," Zuo Kakishi said as he looked at the man. 

"Fine! Spare my life! And you can take over the lead! I can convince the people of this village that the other heads have passed away with no letters left behind... So that I can convince them that you can take over the lead, you also have that rank so there's should be no big of a deal, my name is Atom Thomas one of the new leaders or heads of this village the west," the man said who is named Atom Thomas and one of the heads of the west. 

Zuo Kakishi smiled as he turned to his left and begin to walk. He swing his sword and remove the blood in his sword and pulled it back to the left. He smiles as he walks towards the door. "I'll be waiting for the good news tomorrow... If you lied to me... Everything you love will be gone in a matter of time," Zuo Kakishi said as he giggled and leaves the room. He closes the door lightly and goes towards the front of the capital. 

He looked around him and sensed that there were no people around in the capital except for the four and the two of his men and women outside the capital who are guarding.

He reaches the front of the capital and sees his people standing in front of him. He looked happy as the people in front of him look deadly serious. "Jeez, calm down... It's mission accomplished we can wait tomorrow for the announcement, and if he betrayed us we will take over the lead, and clean the body inside the room of the heads and that stupid third leader," Zuo Kakishi said as he smiles and begins to walk. 

He walks by past people who walk inside as he walks out. "And where are you going?" The girl's swordswomen ask as she turns around. "To find Geri and Woshi, and help them talk to that thunder Swordsmen," Zuo Kakishi said as he vanished in a blink of an eye. The girl smiles as she nods to the other swordswoman is who with her, they both walk inside even more.
