🔥 Episode 14 – “Hunt the Laughter: Samu’s Shadow” 🔥

🏯 Scene 1: Hokage Office – Mission Briefing

Hokage Aiko Uzuhana, now sitting gracefully behind the Flame Crest desk, calls upon Team 7.

Kaede enters with Dan, Suki, and a recovered Riko.

Rei Lee and Shin Nara walk in from the side — summoned for backup.

Aiko (serious):

“Samu escaped. We’ve learned he was only a vessel… The real Samu is moving north, seeking a forbidden scroll.”

Kaede (nodding):

“Understood.”

Dan:

“We’ll bring him down.”

Aiko:

“This is an A-Rank tracking and suppression mission. Your squad will be Team 7 Alpha.”

She hands Kaede a scroll and a chakra compass.

🎯 Mission Objective

Target: Samu (UUB agent – Smile Technique)

Location: Black Pines Forest, near the Forgotten Shrine

Goal: Intercept, capture if possible; eliminate if not

Support: Shin Nara (strategy & traps), Rei Lee (close combat)

🌲 Scene 2: Into the Forest

Team 7 Alpha rushes through thick fog in formation:

Dan in front, leading with Wind Chakra sensing

Suki running silently, maintaining rear defense

Riko constantly scanning chakra traces

Rei & Shin branch-hop alongside

Suddenly, Rei halts—

Rei:

“He’s near. Feel that thick chakra? It's not normal.”

Shin makes hand signs and activates Shadow Thread Network to trap any illusion zones.

⚔️ Scene 3: Ambush at the Shrine Ruins

They arrive at the shrine — ruins covered in vines, with dark symbols glowing.

Out walks a distorted version of Samu, laughing eerily. His skin is cracked, eyes glowing yellow.

Samu (grinning):

“This body is fading… but this scroll… will birth my final smile.”

He opens a scroll labeled: "Forbidden Laughter Technique: Joy Reaper Jutsu"

A massive spirit begins forming — ghost-like, weeping and laughing at the same time.

💥 Full Battle – Team 7 Alpha vs. Samu & the Joy Reaper

🌀 Dan vs. Samu (Round 1)

Dan uses Wind Style: Vortex Fang Barrage, slicing through Samu’s clones.

Samu responds with Laughing Clones, which explode into smile gas.

🌩️ Riko vs. Joy Reaper Tentacles

Riko enters Curse Mark Stage 1, black lines spreading.

He slices tentacles with Lightning Style: Thunder Pulse Edge.

🥋 Rei vs. Samu (Taijutsu)

Rei activates Gate 4, his aura glowing green.

Samu laughs, evades — Rei lands a clean Leaf Slam Drop, cracking the ground.

🧠 Shin vs. Jutsu Core

Shin locates the scroll’s center sigil.

He uses Shadow Mind Break Technique to weaken the Joy Reaper’s chakra.

🥷 Suki’s Turn

Suki dashes in, lands a hit using Pulse Fist: Disruption Palm, causing the Reaper to lose balance.

She plants a Chakra Dampening Tag on the scroll.

🌸 Kaede’s Command Moment

Kaede appears with a summoned hawk, flanking Samu.

Kaede:

“Team 7 Alpha — final formation!”

Dan pins Samu with Wind Chains

Riko overloads the curse mark and stuns the spirit

Shin and Suki disable the scroll

Rei leaps in from the sky—

💥 Final Move: Leaf Crimson Lotus Smash!

BOOM! Samu is crushed, and the Joy Reaper fades away.

Samu breathes heavily, defeated.

Before fainting, he whispers:

“You’ve only delayed it… the Smile God will awaken…”

🎬 Scene 4: Aftermath

The scroll is sealed and returned to the village.

Samu is restrained by ANBU and taken into custody.

Rei and Shin fist bump Dan before heading back.

Kaede (to Team 7):

“You’ve grown... but stay sharp. Darkness never sleeps.”
