Living Life In Naruto Relaxed. (I Am Egotistical Though.) - Chapter 74
“Ting!” Sword hit against Kai’s raised forearm. A sound of steel hitting steel rand out. “Woo!” Blowing out a breath of air the ninja was blown back.
“Hana are you alright?” Kai asked. He as able to notice a slight grey sweat pass down her brow. “Take the third blue pill I gave you!”
“Ugh right.” Hana replied but her moves were sluggish.
“Ha.. ha.. thank you for.. blocking.. our..” Izanagi passed out walking over.
“No!” Itachi looked angry for once. His eyes started to bleed as the Sharingan developed to the next state.
“She is breathing! Focus!” Kai yelled. Seeing Itachi nod in understanding he looked at the ninja. “Sooo who are you? Some reject from a village or some clown?” Slowly Kai sent a chakra thread towards Hana, Izanagi, and the baby. It pushed light chakra in them slowly to help with protection for the body.
“You are a strong one. Defintely different, I am just called Rockland.” The masked ninja gave a fake name. “Me and my partners are just here to have fun and kill some traitorous Uchiha.”
“Hah, no longer wanting to follow your leader does not make you a traitor. Especially if your leader has gone nuts.” Kai said deadpan. His vision went out towards the compound. He was trying to find Tsume. The odd thing, he couldnt see outside the compound itself. A barrier was around it. “You could leave with your life you know.”
“Hehe.” Rockland snickered. “That is cute. A little Kage rank ninja thinks he can beat me.” A scythe slipped out his sleeve. It was caked in chakra. But it was a foreign chakra. Not native to this world.
“Hah!” Itachi threw two senbon towards the man.
“Ping, ping!” The senbon were deflected.
“Foolish little..” Rockland said. He then had to block more senbon that came his way. “This is..” he blocked another two. “..a useless..” another two came at him. “Insufferable little..” two more senbon came at him. “I won’t be hurt by this.” This time he dodged. The senbon disappeared before passing by him. ‘What just happened?’ Turning to the side two more senbon came. He dodged again but didnt look away. ‘They are fakes!’ Getting angered, Rockland circulated his chakra and broke the illusion.
“Haha see you low ranks cant do anything.” Rockland snidely said. Itachi repeated the process and threw two more senbons at him. “Not this again.” Circulating his chakra he broke the illusion. “Ha!”
With a swing of his scythe, five spikes shot off towards Kai and company.
“Fwip, fwip, fwip, fwip, fwip!” The spikes went through the bodies.
“Fire Style: Fire Ball technique!” Itachi yelled. The ball of fire went towards Rockland. Itachi was attacking from the left.
“What kind of fool names his move?” Rockland said more than asked. He rotated his weapon creating a high wind. The attack fizzled out instantly. “So boring.”
“Stupid.” Kai said coldly from behind him.
“When did you get behind me?”
‘Destruction of The body!’ kai thought the technique to reaffirm his mind on what he was going to do. In 3 seconds his chakra strings stabbed into the man. “Get ripped.” Pulling back, Kai removed the man’s chakra network.
“Aaahhhhh!” Rockland screamed as he felt a pain he never experienced before. Itachi had to swallow his puke as he watched everything due to the Sharingan. “Give.. it.. back.”
“No.” Kai placed it into a pocket dimension and stared. “This uses way to much chakra.” Taking a breath he removed three seals. Flooding his body back with chakra instantly. Stabbing his hand into the man’s spine, he pulled the soul out next. “Thanks for your assistance. I need a guinea pig of your esteemed level.”
“This is not the end.” Rockland was already gathering strength back. This stopped once Kai twisted the man’s soul. “your.. soul techniques.. are cruel.”
“Bye-bye now.” Kai yanked out and destroyed the man completely. The soul pieces was sealed away. There would be no rebirth or resurrection. He only existed in people’s memories now. “Filthy trespasser. Why did he come here? That was not in his memories.”
“Kai!” Itachi called out. He looked frantically from his wife towards the man.
“Settle down.” Kai walked over and passed a pellet to Itachi. “Chew this and feed this to your wife.” Itachi did it quickly and started to feed it over. When he finished, he stared at Kai. “What?”
“Is she going to be ok?”
“Huh oh yeah. I healed them earlier before we fought that nutjob.”
“What was that pellet for?”
“Oh, to see if you would do it. I need to know how much you cared about your wife.
“Kai this is not the time!”
“Yes, it is.” Kai had grabbed Han’s hand and was circulating more chakra into her. The poison settle deep into her while the trio had fought. “Your wife and baby.. is it more important than everyone else?”
“I.. cant answer that!”
“A pity. A real pity.” Kai felt Hana wake up. “You ok?”
“Good.” Hana sat up and looked around. Circulating her chakra she was good to go. “Is that man gone?”
“Yup. Gonzo. Good job kiddo.” Hana smiled at Kai’s praise. Turning he looked towards the graveyard area. “Trouble. You four head back to the main house.”
“Fwoosh!” Gemini appeared with Sasuke and Kiba. Each of them had some blood on them.
“Brother!” Sasuke cried as he tackled Itachi. “So many of our clansmen are dead.”
“Sis!” Kiba ran over to Hana. Seeing her clothes a little ruffled he was a little upset. His eyes darted over checking for any wounds. He found none. “Haa your ok.”
“Oh worried about me eh?” Hana teased him a little. Seeing him embarrassed she hugged him. “Glad your safe to.”
“I am going to check on your mother. Get going.” Kai gave them both a pat on the head before leaving. He passed over some more chakra as he became worried about something.
“Fwoosh!” The wind this time was a lot bigger than usual. Kai released a few more seals as he moved.
-Uchiha Graveyard-
“Hmph!” Tsume grunted. Another Uchiha was knocked out cold. “So many useless people. Then again, I am a lot stronger than what they know.”
“Ha.. ha..” Mikoto panted tiredly. “Glad.. you have.. the energy. I am out of practice.”
“You are. Barely even chunin. Glad I never got like that.” Tsume sneered.
“You could be nicer. For old time sake.” Mikoto caught her second wind and stood straight.
“Hmph! I will when you come clean about the Nine Tail incident.” Tsume scowled. Mikoto looked away instead. “Figured as much. We need to do something about all these bodies.”
“Fwoosh!” Kai arrived right next to Tsume.
“Jeez, warning next time!” Tsume had a kunai pointed at his throat. “If I wouldn’t’ have smelled you at the last second, I would have ruined my lucky kunai.”
“Right. Glad your ok.” Kai gave a look around before his eyes turned hot. “Grr.” He threw a scroll out next.
“Fwwoosh!” Each of the bodies were burned away instantly. The scroll opened taking in the ashes. There would be time later to make sure for anything else.
“We could have given them proper burials.”
“no. There was traces of a poison in them. That is not up for debate.” Kai looked at her angry. “How did these Uchiha get in here?”
“This is the Uchiha compound why wouldn’t they be here.” Mikoto replied normally. However, her heartbeat gave it away.
“Your lying.” Kai said heatedly. He grabbed a kunai from his pouch.
“Are you going to kill me Lord Uzumaki?” Mikoto’s voice was pained. “It wouldn’t be to bed to die for my crimes.”
“What did you do?” Tsume asked.
“I did nothing. That is the problem.” Mikoto started to cry. “I didnt stop them from poisoning the mind of my son or its ritual taking place. I didnt stop my uncle from letting them in either. The graveyard has an acces panel that goes deep underground. They came in from there. The exit is in my grandmother’s tomb.” Mikoto pointed to a tomb that had leaves covering it. It was out of place for a family that value tradition so highly.
“I want to know about Kushina. Tell me about that.” Kai said.
“I did nothing there as well. My uncle told me to leave and head to the south gate so I did.” Mikoto said plainly. “I knew something was going on but I feigned ignorance. I just didnt care I suppose.”
“That is a load of bull.” Tsume said. She moved over and grabbed Mikoto. “You are trying to get Kai to kill you.”
“Hmmm, this is a bunch of.. Wait, this entrance who all knows about it?”
“Just my family.” Mikoto looked over and said. “Why?”
“No reason. So do you care about your sons and grandchild?”
“Not really. I am just a doll. I do what I am told. It is not like Fugaku loves me. The children only responded on a maternal instinct. They do not know the actual me.”
“Grr, you bitch!” Tsume started to get riled up.
“Huh go figure. I am not even mad at that.” Kai walked over and plucked her forehead. “Illuminating gaze.” A blast of light chakra flooded her body. As they waited Kai went through the memories of the two he ran into. As well as talking to Tsume about what happened.
“I am going to meet up with them. You finish up here. I..I wouldn’t be upset if you killed her.” Tsume paused to say. She then left in a burst of speed.
“Oh man oh man. Get up already.”
“I am up.” Mikoto said. “What will you do now?”
“Try to save your clansmen for one. Also, Fugaku cares about you a lot actually. A very passioned man. Surprises me from time to time.”
“That is only recently since you arrived. Over the years he become more affectionate but it was to late. My mission was already in play. I gave everything for the betterment of the clan.”
“Yeah.. so why dont you have the Sharingan?”
“My eyes are gone. These are replacements from … our benefactor.”
“I see.” In a split second, Kai reached out and plucked her eyes out. Wrapping it in chakra, he barely had enough time before a snake burst out attacking him. “Curse Seal Technique!” His chakra hardens and pulled into a small dimension next. “How many things is Orchimaru involved in? Or was that just disguised as something by them?”
“That snake man??” Mikoto looked at Kai. It was slightly ghastly considering she had no eyes. “He was at the meeting last. But he didnt say much.”
“Meeting?”
“Not inside. We used the tunnel to go outside and visited him.” Mikoto was quite calm at everything. As if she was a passerby or some side character in a movie. “We are ninja, so running a few miles in a few minutes is nothing.”
“Yeah.” Kai said plainly. He grabbed her by the head and started to regow her eyes. He was giving her the same ones as Itachi. He also placed the ability to view through her eyes. If her uncle made contact with her, it would help. Also in case, there was any more turncoats left. “There, we will talk more later about everything. For now, head to the… no I will just take you there myself.”
“If have to ask why? Why help me?” Mikoto asked as she shook a little.
“Hmm because of Arianna. She told me you never treated her bad. Then Itachi most likely would have been super depressed. Then Fugaku might have relapsed. I enjoy my tea drinking friend. And I am very low on friends.” Kai said. He then sprinted off with her. Leaving from that spot, A seal that placed activated. If anyone came from Mikoto’s grandmother’s tomb he would know.
