Akatsuki 1

Akatsuki Chapter 1

Here is a new series by Koide Motoki, Akatsuki. Yes the main character looks like Naruto and acts like him as well (well the early Naruto at least), but please don't let that cloud your judgement of it.

Please enjoy.

-Sho...
-Shortcut successful~~
-Yo~~sha
-Looks like I was able to leave that Kiria behind completely.
-Level 1 Kiri-ishi, Name: Hibiki (TN-Kiri-ishi means
cutting doctor warriors)
-Uhehe, with this it means that the profit is all mine.
-Bouu!!?

Page 4

-You stupid Hibiki!!! / Did you think that you had left me behind!!?
-I was the one who left first, so how did you get here ahead of me?
-I ran all the way up the mountain path in order to catch up to you!!
-No...no way, then why did I have to climb up the cliff...
-Like I know!
-Level 1 Kiri-ishi, Name: Kiria
-You were planning on conning money out of the victims while I wasn't there again.
-Yo...you startled me.
-Shut your mouth!!
-O...oy
-That's
-That mark on her back
-(bottom right) This story is fiction. All references to real people, places, and
events is unintentional.

-Kiri-ishi-sama!!
-I'm sorry for making you wait. We were dispatched by the Ishi-ren, I'm Kiria. (TN-Ishi-ren is the organisation that controls/organises the kiri-ishi)
-I'm Hibiki
-We were waiting for you!!
-We...were saved.
-An Akatsuki has appeared!!
-Where is the victim?
-This way!! Please hurry
-Oy, everyone, the Kiri-ishi have come!!
-It's here, it's waiting inside this building.
-Nobody else come inside.
-Oooh
-Well, well

Page 7

-A Yumekazura huh. (TN-Yumekazura is the type of Akatsuki that it is, sort of like a species)
-Um...are you going to save him?
-No need to worry. It isn't all that impressive for an Akatsuki.
-If you think of it like a bug it's like a Maimaikanburi Position
-Is it really okay to not worry about that? (small text)I don't understand
-Operation
-commence!!!

Page 8

Page 9

-Make a good decoy!
-Wha?
-Oooh!!!
-No...
-(SFX)*swish*

Page 10

-I'll decide this in one strike!!

Page 11

-Vial!!
-Seal!!

Page 12

-Operation
-Completed
-Th...they did it! The Akatsuki has been cut off!!
-Kuramoto is safe!
-Thank you very much, Kiri-ishi-sama
-That was dangerous and you know it...
-The decoy has to be fast, I was sure that you could...
-Consult me first!!

Page 13

-The Akatsuki has been safely sealed into the vial. / Do you think there was anything that he was carrying that could have caused it?
-Ah...yesterday he was picking mushrooms at the mountain behind the village...
-Because that mountain has a lot of Yumekazura it should be made into a restricted area after all...
-I'm sorry.
-Please allow him to heal.
-I was the one who cut the Akatsuki right? Shouldn't you be thankful to me?
-Uh, yeah...
-Then I wonder if I could get a little bundle of something?
-It's still to early to be talking about / money
-Hibiki!!
-Kiri-ishi
-as they are called...

Page 14

-Deal with the magic disease called "Akatsuki". It attaches itself to people, turns
their eyes red, and lives on them until they die...
-To fight against the Akatsuki the Kiri-ishi use a weapon called "Crave" to cut the
Akatsuki off from the victim.
-Akatsuki are a monster with both the power to infect, along with a very strong
offensive power
-It's extrodinarily dangerous attempting to cut them...
-However, the Kiri-ishi are capable of cutting them by carrying their Crave
-For the sake of the patients, they risk their life

Page 15

-That's what they are but...
-Stop jerking around, Hibiki!
-Is there something wrong?
-It's not just something!
-Stop trying to solicit money from the patients!! When we turn in a sealed Akatsuki we get money from the Ishi-ren!!
-How much do we get for a lowly Yumekazura Akatsuki? It won't even give us enough to let us pay for this meal! (small text)It's not even beef and rice, it's pork and rice!! A mini pork with rice!!
-It can't be helped can it. It's because We're still only the lowest level of kiri-

ishi.
-You're such a freaking loudmouth. Why can't we take just a little, it's not like it's stealing you know~~
-Hibiki
-(outside bubble) It is stealing
-Well whatever.
-Just talking about the fact that we are given money for cutting the Akatsuki itself

is delicious.
-So if I keep on cutting and cutting and cutting, whenever the Akatsuki appear I won't run away.

Page 16

-No matter how dirty you have to get your hands you have to keep on cutting them to make money!
-You're wrong Hibiki.
-If the kiri-ishi are only in it for wealth then they are bound to decline.
-Pop
-The kiri-ishi are based on justice, that means that the victim's life is the top
priority,
-No matter what the situation they should always make the best decision.

Page 17

-Until you understand that
-You can't call yourself a kiri-i
-Hot...
-Gyahahaha, you should have seen the look in your eyes!! That was priceless.
-You jerk
-You made it spicy...
-Woah
-(SFX)*thunk*

Page 18

-You're being noisy.
-Kurainoyon Kiri-ishi, Name: Gaizen
-Go outside if you are going to fight.
-Yeah, yeah.
-His Son, Name: Rin
-The highly ranked Gaizen!
-Is there an Akatsuki he's here for...in this village...?
-Who the hell are you? I like to have a bit of fun during my meal after I've finished work.

Page 19

-So you don't have any idea who my daddy is?
-Obviously.
-Oy, Hibiki
-I guess there's no helping it.
-Look and be amazed!
-Give it a rest, Rin.

Page 20

-That's an amazing number of vials
-What's more, they're all filled with Akatsuki he's captured
-That's it...isn't it just an ordinary nipple.
-Look at what's in the kimono!!! This is the Akatsuki that we've caught all in the

past 2 days!!
-Rin
-My daddy is amazing!
-Just today he was able to help three different patients in one village. Daddy is
specially requested to do it all the time. / Especially if there's a dangerous A class
Akatsuki.
-But he definitely isn't a ruffian.
-In the shops he always insists on correct courtesy.
-You always have to say please and thankyou, and not fight. / He became a highly ranked Kiri-ishi. Even now he's still rising higher in the ranks of the Kiri-ishi!
-All of the lower ranked people look up to Daddy! They say he's really strong...
-Haa!! What are you doing Hibiki
-He kept on going on and on, the damn kid. Did he want to say that low ranked Kiri-ishi can't do anything!?
-He definitely didn't say something like that!!

Page 21

-I'll make sure to teach him proper manners, Gaizen-san.
-No...I should be the one to say that.
-Are you going to head off to work from here?
-Yeah...please excuse me.
-(hand written)Curse curse curse curse
-...Rin
-Don't boast about me
-Eh, / but that guy...
-It's because he said he didn't know who you were.
-It's still no good to do that
-Eh, no way?
-Uh
-Get back here you dog!! I won't forgive you!!
-Hibiki
-It's the first time I've seen him get so worked up.
-Geez.

Page 22

-You should check out the names of the highly ranked kiri-ishi, Hibiki.
-The guy called Gaizen is in the Best 3 of the kiri-ishi, he is practically a master
with the strength he has.
-Like I care!!
-Or rather I should say that it doesn't seem like you to be doing study.
-It's still only been one month since I became a kiri-ishi. I'm trying to treat it as
some thing important.
-I guess you're right but, it's just too troublesome.
-I'll leave the studying to you.
-More importantly than that, did you see it Kiria.

Page 23

-Of the vials that Gaizen was carrying one of them had a red cap?
-It's my first time seeing it. It's probably designed to hold an especially strong

Akatsuki.
-When he turns that vial in to the Kiri-ishi guild I can't even guess how much money he'll get paid.
-He'll probably be able to ask for some nice things after that.
-Why did you join the Kiri-ishi?
-Haa?
-Is there some other reason than to make money?
-I became one because I wanted to save people.
-I think risking their life to save the lives of others, the Kiri-ishi is the most
noble profession.
-Kee, what a good girl you are.
-However

Page 24

-The obsession you have with going up against the Akatsuki is greater than mine.
-That's why I think that there must be some sort of special reason that you have.
-Well you know, a special reason
-It's just an ordinary reason.

Page 25

-...I'm going to sleep now / It's a small room, so don't come over to my side.
-Shouldn't that be my line as a woman...
-You can't call someone who hasn't taken a bath for three days a woman.
-What
-(sfx)Sniff sniff
-Sorry if I offended you, but you stink.
-Your just the same bastard!!
-They weren't even able to save enough water for me, how am I meant to enter the bath!! / Hibiki, you probably haven't even taken one for
-Haa
-Haa

Page 26

-If it isn't the annoying kid of Gaizen.
-Is something the matter?
-...Sa...
-Sa...save...
-Daddy...
-Did something happen...to Gaizen...?
-Daddy is...

Page 27

-Infected by the Akatsuki!!

Page 28

-What...the...
-Gaizen!?

Page 29

-Wh...what is going on!?
-Why...
-What is it Kiria? That monster
-That is...
-An Orochibiru!
-"Orochibiru", An infectious Akatsuki, it eats all of the infected person's blood
until death. Limit: 5 hours
-It's my fault. I got too close to the Akatsuki and so...
-So he could save me, daddy got infected by the Akatsuki.

Page 30

-Daddy used the last of his strength to to cut the Akatsuki from the patient but...
-Daddy is...daddy is...
-Calm down...first of all I have to calm down...
-I don't understand the full situation but, I do know that Gaizen has been infected by that Orochibiru, at this rate he probably has about 2 or 3 hours left.
-This Akatsuki isn't at a level that we can handle
-But the closest Ishi-ren branch probably doesn't have anyone stronger than Gaizen himself
-What should I...
-Kuu, we don't have any time to sit around thinking.

Page 31

-I'll cut
-That Akatsuki!!
-Hibiki!!
-It's tough!!

Page 32

-Grr
-Gaah!!
-Idiot!! We aren't able to cut an Akatsuki like the Orochibiru at our level are we?
-You'll get infected if you aren't careful!! Don't rush in without a plan!!
-Kuu...so irritating!

Page 33

-We won't know unless we try, do we!!
-Don't be so careless!!
-Uoh

Page 34

-Kuu...
-(sfx)nyuu
-Tch!!
-Wah
-Uuuh

Page 35

-Kiria!!
-Uwah!
-Gaah!!

Page 36

-You okay!? Hibiki
-You damn shit! It's no fair if you use your arms like that!!
-Listen! There's one thing alone that might work. / We aren't able to cut the
Orochibiru with our Crave...
-But it might be possible with a highly ranked kiri-ishi's Crave!
-If we are able to get ahold of Gaizen's Crave...
-It means we might have a chance at cutting the Orochibiru!!
-That's not a good idea!! I can't just grab it like that!!
-You're the stupid one who decided to dive right in aren't you!!
-I'll act as the decoy.
-Hibiki, you take the Crave out of the arm of Gaizen!!

Page 37

-Let's go!!
-Grrr

Page 38

-guu
-Good!
-All of it's attacks are focused on Kiria
-I can do this!!
-Ooh!!
-Gaizen!! Let me have
-Your Crave!!!

Page 39

-What!?
-I can't cut it!
-It's still made out of human flesh!!

Page 40

-Gooh
-Gaaha
-Zee
-Zee
-Gaaha
-Haa
-Haa
-It's no good...Gaizen's body is still maintaining it's human form.
-Our Crave isn't able to cut either the Akatsuki or Gaizen!!
-Without Gaizen's Crave we don't have any other options!!
-There's no more time!!
-I didn't want to make this decision
-Withdraw
-Wi

Page 41

-What do you mean withdraw!?
-Are you going to abandon daddy!!
-At the moment we have no chance of winning, I can clearly see that.
-From here the nearest Kiri-ishi branch is 2 hours away! / If we are lucky then there will be another highly ranked kiri-ishi there!
-That's no good!!
-We can't leave daddy here by himself!
-Uuh...
-Uuh...
-Please, Kiri-ishi-dan

Page 42

-Save my daddy

Page 43

-Don't let my mother die!!
-Mother!!
-Wait! Hibiki
-Don't get close!

Page 44

-Save her, Kiri-ishi-sama! Save my mother!!
-It's useless! I can't save your mother with my power!!
-At this rate any one who gets too close to your mother will get infected!!
-I don't want that! / Can't you do something!!
-Please Kiri-ishi-sama
-Save my
-Mother

Page 45

-Don't be mistaken.
-The only ones going to get more kiri-ishi are you and Hibiki. / I won' be leaving.
-There's no time left.
-Hibiki! Take this child and go
-Hibiki...?
-Oy!! Are you listening? Hibiki... / Oy!!

Page 46

-Hibiki!!

Page 47

-Guu
-Aaah!!!
-You stupid fool! Don't attack so recklessly!!
-Hibiki!
-It...meant to, idiot
-Who said I didn't have a battle plan... / gaa / if the right measures are taken
-There's still the chance!

Page 48

-A vial...? Hibiki's?
-No...
-Gaizen's...
-But what is he planning to...!?
-It's an Akatsuki with a red stopper, cut by a highly ranked kiri-ishi.
-It's sure to be some kind of outrageous monster.

Page 49

-What!?
-Aggu
-Aah!!
-What are you doing Hibiki!!
-Y...you drank the Akatsuki!!
-If...I can hold me awareness for 10 seconds.../ then I can use
-The Akatsuki's power!!

Page 50

-Are you thinking of using the Akatsuki's power to cut another Akatsuki!!?
-Are you insane!!
-Whether it's insane or whether it dirties my hands, I'll use whatever method I can!!
-That's so that the kiri-ishi will definitely triumph over the Akatsuki.
-For that reason I'll use the power of the Akatsuki!
-Whatever I have to use...
-Something, anything

Page 51

-To win!!

Page 52

-Ooh
-Aaah

Page 53 54

-That's what it means to be a kiri-ishi!!

Page 55

-Well~~
-Haa haa haa
-Thank you for letting us stay here for free for 3 days. You took great care of us!
-No no...But could you please keep it a secret that you needed to come and cure a case of Akatsuki.
-Please excuse us.
-Geez...you're such a careless kind of guy.
-Oh, but thank goodness that we were both able to heal up well.

Page 56

-What were you planning to do once you were infected by the Akatsuki? / That was a Kagumutsu, if that got loose in the village then it would have been catastrophic!
-It was just the origin, but still if the Akatsuki hadn't been in such a soft state then it would have been terribly hard to cut it.
-(handwritten)I was lucky
-Eh? Gaizen wasn't the one who cut it off?
-It was me!
-And on top of saving me you let me heal for three days and three nights.
-You're such a thoughtful girl, Kiria.
-I'll kill you.
-No, no, seriously, thank you.
-I believe in you.
-Hmph

Page 57

-Gaizen
-Your injuries are better already?
-The're okay. What about you.
-Enough to get these.
-This is an example of what you two should do. (TN- it's hard to translate, but Gaizen uses quite impolite speech here)
-I don't need that. Instead you should be using super polite speech with me.
-Um..uh...
-Hibiki-san, Kiria-san
-Thanks for saving my dadyy.

Page 58

-Ke
-Now then...
-Let's go and eat a sandwhich or something, Kiria.
-We don't have any money in case you forgot. Let's head back to the Ishi-ren to make our report.
-(non bubble)These two are heading to a lot of trouble, next will be heading to the original Akatsuki!!
