The Dark King Left Hand and Shadows

"How long do you think you'll sleep?... Kataku Sukure? I expected big, but I shoulda expected small because small things always turn into big things... You're weak, Kataku Sukure," Kage Rigakure remarked menacingly as he noticed Kataku Sukure slowly getting up. 
Kage Rigakure turns around to find that she is still alive and slowly rising. She turned around, furious, and menacingly caressed her blade, which began to gleam. 
"Hmm? You're alive? You're Fu, right? You're not that weak, but because you're the Dark King's left hand, I don't think you're the Dark King's left hand, since the Dark King made an exact seven main troops, these troops are more powerful than me and I don't see a challenge at all, Fu. I guess you're just a small part of the seven troops," Kage Rigakure said sarcastically. He laughed and giggled as he saw her vanish from where she was standing and saw how angry she was. 
"You shut the hell up! You punk!" she said angrily as she swung her sword down to his left side. Suddenly, he avoids it by just walking backwards. She stabs the grass, then immediately raises it and swings to the right, back towards him.
He leaped and evaded her sword before swinging his blade at her neck and decapitating her head. She collapses to the ground and drops her weapon. Her head rolled to the left without making a sound or turning her to dust. 
He jumped backward even further, grabbing Kataku Sukure with his left hand and dragging him up the trail. He walks backwards while dragging him. As soon as he is seized, he notices him grasp his sword with his right hand.
"Don't get near any of them! You'll die if you touch a single part of their bodies! Even just a small fraction will make you tremble in fear and die! Once you cut them, you need to find a Fire user swordsman or a Flame Shira or a Hashira to make your blade burst in flames and the particles of the Dark King particles will be burned and removed. It's not recommended either to put it back in your sheath," Kage Rigakure shouts as he swings his sword three times in the air to his right as he stares at the Dark that he cut.
"Damn... This still feels strange, the whole hidden underground land is shaking... It's not a hidden land anymore. If more enemies came, that would be bad. We are stuck with two exits, the entrance and the exit path and the hidden underground tunnel. I don't really care about this hidden underground land as long as it has food, those crops come in handy and the abandoned houses... I need to protect that ancient underground tunnel that leads to every nation. Tsk...! This has become worse and bad than I thought," Kage Rigakure thought angrily as he turned around and raised his head. He glanced at the upward path. He sees an unknown single dark coming out from the shadows menacingly.
"Kage Rigakure, you sure are strong, but not that though. We have the same level as Dark Swordsmen. We are in the main Dark Fortress, near the Dark King and the Dark God, they're on the move... The floating island is the main source of our powered warp portals. The problem is, we don't know where to find that hindrance, Shadow Guard Hashira, guarding that floating island. I heard that I was supposed to be in the sky but it was near the ground. We're trying to conquer it, good luck getting over there by the way," Fu stated. Suddenly, that made Kage Rigakure turn around and he get goosebumps.
He notices Fu standing there, her eyes widening and her head reattached to her body. Valkyrie and Cavalry were likewise standing, their hands and heads attached to their own bodies. They appear even more terrifying now that Dark Energy is pouring around their arm and top waist. It was pouring within them, curing and enhancing them. 
Kage Rigakure stroked his blade menacingly as he saw four Hashira's in front of Fukeshin Gakure and Kiroshuku Hakure. They don't have their swords out but they stand fearlessly as they look around. Kiroshuku Hakure was still kneeling on the ground and feeling exhausted and still having major fatigue.
"I can't believe Kiroshuku Hakure can still keep up with me, he's been fighting for a long time... He has major fatigue and right arm fatigue and he's even only using his right eye... He doesn't have his left eye! How can he keep up with a Hashira?! Maybe he's just trying to keep up and that costs him so much, or he's just near the level of Hashira, hmm! As expected from a former master and a former Shira, if I was a high-ranking head of the village I would promote him here as a new Hashira," Fukeshin Gakure thought as he suddenly appeared in front of the four unknown Hashira's. 
"We will take care of them, Fukeshin Gakure... You're in no condition to fight, you've been fighting with Kiroshuku Hakure, right?... We see some marks on your blade when you fought those monsters on the way. That must've drained you. We will murder the three of them, by the way, don't worry," the unknown Hashira said to the one on his left behind him.
"Huh?!... Are you sure? Uh! Don't regret what you said, these monsters are the Dark King's left hand and Shadows. Don't underestimate them, like Kage Rigakure said, it's not only them... There's one more standing over there," Fukeshin Gakure said as they raised their heads and looked up. He then raised his right hand with his sword and pointed his blade at the unknown dark standing menacingly watching them all in the entrance. He also sees Kage Rigakure standing fearless with enemies behind him. He was smiling behind the mask as he began to walk toward the unknown.
"Wo-wow! You have to get passed me first before yo—" Valkyrie said as he suddenly got interrupted when he saw him appear in front of Kage, but he suddenly got shot by an arrow in the eye and through his head. The arrow came from behind Kage Rigakure. It passed him to his right and Valkyrie took the hit. 
The Hashira's and Shira's then turn around and see an unknown Hashira holding a bow and an arrow. She was standing menacingly and she was also smiling. She shot the arrow and removed a chunk of Valkyrie's brain and removed one of his eyes. His head was completely missing. She was using a special bow and arrow that could pierce through anything. She was also standing in the backline, far away from Kage.
"Talking about the badass entrance, that was a Hashira... She was even in the far backline. She didn't decide to shoot you but she decided to shoot Valkyrie. What do you think that means?... You die right here! You should have stayed in the shadow," Kage Rigakure stated menacingly. He was completely unfazed, which made the unknown dark near the shadow step backward and he was completely terrified and saw Kage Rigakure approaching menacingly. 
"Kage! Behind you!" Fukeshin Gakure shouts as he sees Cavalry about to stab him in the back. He got caught completely off guard but all of a sudden, Kataku Sukure appeared behind him and decapitated Cavalry's head. His head flew up and the sword that he was holding snapped. Cavalry body falls in front of Kataku. He stands fearlessly as he sees Fu standing and smiling. She then giggled as the unknown Dark up ahead Kage Rigakure gave no vibes. That made Kage Rigakure mad and upset as he began walking again.
Fukeshin Gakure kneeled and coughed. Then the four Hashira's appeared in front of him. He went towards Fukeshin Gakure, which was behind him on his left side. He kneels with him and after a couple of seconds, the four Hashira's vanished and appeared surrounding Fu and has their blades about to swing down towards her head. They were hovering in the middle of the air and were about to swing down their blades to cut her into countless pieces. 
"They got her cornered! She's dead!" Fukeshin Gakure thought at the last second, as all of a sudden she vanished. At the last second, she vanished when they reached her dark bright hair. The four of them didn't hit anything but the air, and the tip of their blades hit the ground. The four of them quickly stood straight while Fukeshin Gakure and Kiroshuku Hakure were in shock as they both also stood looking around.
"Tsk! That was nerve-racking. If they hit the ground with those powerful downward swings, they could've destroyed this whole place... One Hashira can cause damage, destroying this place. Good thing they stopped on time... But where is she?" Kiroshuku Hakure thought fiercely as he held his sword with both of his hands. Fukeshin Gakure was behind him.
"Hashira's and Shira's! And Fukeshin Gakure! It's time! Teleport them all to the surface! They're all waiting!! I'll use clones to help you all out... Be aware of the Dark King legions. Planning is planned, a lot is waiting on the surface," Kage Rigakure shouted as he suddenly vanished and appeared behind the unknown dark that was just standing.
Suddenly, the ground that Fukeshin Gakure was standing on started shaking. Then he pointed his blade down with his right hand, and let go of his sword. Then he held both of his hands and after a while light started to appear around Fukeshin Gakure's hands. It lit up even more and it lit up all Hashira's and Shira's and then vanished. All of the Hashira's and Shira's got teleported to the surface and all of their eyes widened in shock as they looked around inside the north. 
Fukeshin Gakure and Kiroshuku Hakure and Kage Rigakure and their enemies in the hidden land were left behind. Kiroshuku Hakure was covering Fukeshin Gakure as he kneels and catches his breath. Suddenly the ground he was kneeling on broke apart. Kiroshuku that was behind him quickly grab him and flew away from the ground that broke apart. He manages to hold his sword just in time.
They flew up front away from Kage Rigakure towards a massive tree. There he leaned on Fukeshin Gakure as he caught his breath. Then he stabs the ground with his sword in front of him. Kiroshuku Hakure goes to his side on his right. They both smiled as they both caught their breaths.
"You can actually compete with us, or I'm just too weak from teleporting countless Shira's and Hashira's... I can't believe it ended like this, I'd like to ask you something, Kiroshuku Hakure... Which nation are you born from?" Fukeshin Gakure inquired as he stood before him, laughing. They both groan and cast a glance at Kage Rigakure, who was fighting the unknown Dark at the same speed as him in the distance. They were swift and fading with each steps they took. They were vanishing by the second, as swords slashed and blades collided by the second.
"Tsk! Kage Rigakure found his match, let's team up for now here, Kiroshuku." Fukeshin Gakure said as he stepped on his left foot on the ground and flew towards Fu. He saw her standing and watching and was about to throw her sword toward Kage Rigakure. 
"He's looking for his blindspots. If she finds those, he's done!" Kiroshuku Hakure thought, as all of a sudden he vanished before Fukeshin. He suddenly appeared behind her and that made her turn around and see a swordsman with a brightly glowing spirit mask in front of her. She swings down her blade towards him, and he also swings his sword upward and their blades collided, making a great impact that made them both sink and destroyed a large portion of the ground.
They both grunted as Fukeshin Gakure appeared behind her and swung his blade down towards her head, but a Giant Dark Barrier blocked his blade, sending him back by a strong force and crashing to the ground as soon as he made contact with the Dark Barrier that appeared on top of her head. He was thrown back a few feet and slammed into a rock.
Kiroshuku Hakure was having difficulty, and his arms and feet were becoming heavier as time passed. He notices her making her move. Their blades suddenly shine brightly. Fu's blade was bright black, and Kiroshuku Hakure's blade was bright white, and they were both thrown back by another strong force that sprang out of nowhere as soon as their blades changed. They both landed hard on the ground and tumbled. They were both quite far apart.
"Oh! Looks like you awoke something strange! Former Shira! Or should I say, former master?... Maybe you're a former Hashira! You're just hiding your true identity, don't you? Fighting for over six hours non-stop! And still can keep up. Tell me what else you're hiding? You've shown the spirit masks that enhance someone's ability! And that mask is a real living thing that only the true part of that clan can use it! But maybe it's just part of your blood, the Hakure's secret hidden blade! Only obtained when a brink of death! Meaningly you fought someone a while ago who almost killed you isn't it that right? You're a Hashira level threat, no... More than that! You're like Kage Rigakure threat! You're a threat to our Dark Fortress!" Fu said furiously as she suddenly flew towards him. 
Kiroshuku Hakure realized something that made his eyes widen. He sees her dashing towards him and, strangely, he can see her movements are slow. Suddenly he began to walk and bowed. He swung his blade sideways to the left and cut her in half. She got sent up front and slammed into a giant tree. That made her grunt and suddenly she felt pain. She feels the cut that Kiroshuku made.
He was completely emotionless and unfazed as he turned around. He turns around menacingly while holding his blade in his right hand. It was glowing and his blade was covered with bright white spirit. 
"Wh-what?! I-I can't connect with myself! What the hell happened?! What the hell did he do?!" She thought furiously as all of a sudden she could hear a voice inside her mind. She sees Kiroshuku Hakure approaching in the distance holding his blade in his right hand menacingly. 
"You were careless, Fu! I expected you to show some exciting fights, but all you did was talk. I expected you to be powerful, which is why I gave you that power... But you got beaten by a Shira who can barely use his enhanced power from an unknown soul of a Hashira, that spirit sword is a real living being controlled by his soul and another soul meaning that soul is a past Hashira resurrected inside him. His mind and heart are like that Hashira, meaning in the past and the current, he's on a Hashira level. You don't stand a chance in the first place, but you should've killed him yet you didn't. You toyed with Kage Rigakure the man, the legend, the man behind the throne and the man behind the legendary swordsman himself... That man is a living Legend," an unknown Dark spoke inside her mind.
"Don't kill me yet! I can do more! Just give me more energy using warp dark portal, please! Please! I won't fail you! I won't disappoint your expectations ever again, please!" she exclaimed as Kiroshuku Hakure came to a halt. He notices her with both hands on her head. She was afraid and began to scream. She was laying on the ground as he noticed dark energy gently reaching for her and connecting other sections of her body. 
"It's too late now, Fukeshin Gakure and Kiroshuku Hakure are on another level, I can't believe you're my left hand, you weakling, and how dare you order me around?! I do whatever I want and I do it as the Dark God pleases, I'm done with you," an unknown Dark said inside her mind as her head exploded. Her eyes dilated and she stopped talking before her head exploded.
She erupted, and she burst into flames, as did the big tree at least ten feet away from her. Kiroshuku Hakure flew fast towards the flames to extinguish them, but as soon as he reached the enormous tree, the flames went out on their own. 
"What the hell just happened?... What the hell did I just witness?!" Kiroshuku Hakure thought as his glowing white blade of his vanished. He looked down and looked at the ground where Fu died. He sees that he's turned into ashes and nothingness. Fukeshin Gakure arrived behind him gasping. 
"Wha-what happened?... I'm sorry I was late for action. I used special teleportation two times today. If you're asking me to teleport you above, teleport yourself," Fukeshin Gakure said as he laid down on the ground and let go of his sword. He was catching his breath and he was careless.
"There are two more... Shin, it's Cavalry and Valkyrie, I'll take them both down," Kiroshuku Hakure replied solemnly. He was impassive and not blinking as he noticed Cavalry and Valkyrie standing in the distance, aggressively staring at him.
"Don't be careless against them, they're different than Fu, she surely hasn't even had her abilities in finest, I'm sure she's the weakest out of them all, I can't believe she's the Dark King's left hand, I'm sure they're all weak, I just hope I still have all my energy left," Fukeshin Gakure said as he saw Kiroshuku Hakure walk by. The breeze was calm as his blade suddenly glowed dazzling white again and he vanished.
He appeared in front of Cavalry and Valkyrie and he swung his sword sideways to the left. It was great speed and it only happened in just a second. Suddenly, he heard a loud sword-fighting noise to his right that made him look up.
He notices that Kage Rigakure has a dazzling left eye and that half of his mask is glowing bright blue. Suddenly, Kiroshuku Hakure sees him swing down his glowing bright silver blade, and the unknown dark flew away.
They continued to fight. They had no fear. There were six of them in the room, but there were actually seven of them. In the concealed underground tunnel, an unknown swordsman sits. It was a man wielding a gleaming silver sword.
It was Kage Rigakure, who was seated and giggling. As he sharpened his blade, everything around him was completely dark. He sat on the ground with his blade sideways on top of his hips. There was a fire on his right and he were able to sense fighting a few hundred feet away. 
"Hmmm! They thought I was protecting that hidden underground land, but in fact, I was protecting this ancient hidden underground tunnel. That is the only reason why I'm here, and I'm just lucky to find that underground hidden land, everything that I said about the underground hidden land was just a lie. Good thing the Dark King troops arrived late and the Dark King legions will arrive there shortly. I hope my clone doesn't die right away," Kage Rigakure said in a low, serious voice, as he sharpened his blade using a sharpening tool.
