My Bio Story--Chapter 119
CRIMSON

The three of us took shelter in a small cave just outside the village walls.

"Ah! I can't take it in here. I'm going outside for some fresh air," I said.

"Asuke. Don't reveal yourself to anyone and try to be quiet," called my father. I noticed he was sitting in the middle of the cave, keeping quiet to himself.

"I think I'm going to get myself a quick snack. I'll be back, too, Madara," said Zetsu.

I stretched as a yawn escaped my lips. Looking around, there were only trees to be seen. I jumped up into the trees to see what I could.

Feeling the wind brushing my hair and the warm sun shining down on me made me think about life in the Leaf Village.

My day dream shattered when I heard a faint explosion not too far from where I was at.

I jumped from tree to tree, dodging branch after branch. The explosions were frequent, but they were getting louder. I noticed a faint fog approaching the closer I got. Just as the warm fog completely blinded me, the sound of trees tearing and ripping away rang loudly in my ear. The tree that was next to me had disappeared.

What the hell is going on, I thought.

It was no use. I couldn't see a damn thing. I climbed higher into the trees just out of the fog. Why is it so hot? Could it be steam? But from where? I heard a loud grunt as a few more trees tore away, followed by a loud panting.

I couldn't even see the figure's chakra with my sharingan through all this steam.

I perched myself onto a thick branch. Concentrating, I focused all my chakra into my core. As the red chakra wrapped itself around me, I pushed myself high over the steam and let out a massive roar. The steam blew away into thin air, revealing a tall man with red armor. He looked up at me with a shocking expression, then fled.

I landed on the ground and retracted the chakra. Looking around, I knew I lost him. Who was that man?
