Chapter: 4
A young woman sat by her wooden hut as she looked in the direction of her home village Taki. "Why do I feel like visiting the village will be a good idea today?" The girl sighed. "They all hate me except our village head."
"Come now Fu you know they're just scared is all." Fu sighs.
"Yeah Chomei but I'm still scared." Chomei sighs.
"I understand little one but you shouldn't ignore your feelings." Fu groans as she stands up.
"I hate it when you're right." Fu smiles. "Well let's go see what today will bring us." Naruto silently crept away from the secret passage as he listened for any guards.
'Look's like the coast is clear.'
"Yes that is a little weird."
'Why?'
"Even if it is a secret passage the village head should have one or two trusted ninjas watching the thing incase of something like this." Naruto nodded.
'Yeah well let's get before they show up.' Naruto quickly ducked into an alley. He kept creeping until he saw a main street in the village. 'Well time to blend in.' Naruto started to walk normal as he entered the street and easily blended in as he walked past three villagers who were laughing at a joke one of them had told. Naruto shook his head as he saw a mom and her seven year old stop at a market stand. 'This place sure is normal.' Kurama grumbled.
"Of course it is brat they have no idea who you are and they don't have a giant ninja force since they are a minor village."
'Yeah which begs the question why do they have a demon container.'
"I'm not sure my best bet would be it's because they are close allies to Konoha."
'Guess that makes sense.' Naruto waved to a man who had waved at him. 'I could get use to this.'
"I'm sure you could but for now we need to worry about our reason for being here." Naruto nodded.
'Right we need to find your sisters demon container.' Naruto smilled as he walked over towards a bench located outside a small park.
"What are you doing?"
'Working on my skills.'
"Huh?" Naruto smirked.
'It's simple I know you can easily find your sister but I can't always rely on you to warn me about everything our help me out I got to be able to stand on my own two feet so I'm trying to gather information and people always talk.' Kurama grinned.
"I'm actually proud of you this is a great idea." Naruto smirked.
'Yeah I'm not totally clueless.' Kurama chuckled.
"If you say so." Naruto growled.
'I hate you.' Kurama just laughed as Naruto sighed. Naruto started to listen as he watched people walk by but nothing important to his mission was being said. He was thinking of giving up when two Chunin walked by.
"Can you believe that thing tried to come into the village." The other Chunin chuckled.
"Yeah stupid idiot it knows better than to try and come here without being summoned."
"I wish we were Jonin so we could help punish it." The other guy shook his head.
"You're just a pervert." He grinned.
"Hey demon or not the things host would be hot if she were human."
"Yeah but just forget it man." The other guy sighed as they walked past Naruto. Naruto shook as he thought about the glee those two assholes were taking in a person being punished.
'I'll destroy them later.'
"Agreed right now let's go find these Jonin who are punishing my sisters container." Naruto stood up as he quickly walked off in the direction the two Chunin had come from. It didn't take him long to find the place the girl had to be since two Jonin were directing villagers away from an area of woods.
"Come on you guys let me see." The two Jonin shook their heads.
"No Ren the captain said no civilians." The other guy nodded.
"Yeah since the last punishment didn't get through to her this one's going to be a bit graphic." The guy Ren sighed.
"Man we always miss the good stuff."
"This isn't good Ren we're just doing our job." Ren put his hands up.
"Ok fine I get it I'll leave." Ren walked off as Naruto sighed.
'How do I sneak past them?' Before Kurama can make a comment another ninja this one a female shows up.
"What are you two idiots doing?"
"She deserves it Kiki."
"Bullshit and you know it Mill!" Mill sighs.
"Kiki the captain wont forgive you if you get involved this time."
"I don't give a damn Mill!" Kiki tries to walk past but Mill grabs her.
"Kiki don't." Kiki shakes before she turns and slugs Mill in the jaw as he lets go of her and staggers back.
"Mill!" The other Jonin tries to grab Kiki but she kicks him right in the balls. Mill wraps his arms around Kiki.
"Kiki stop it our the captain will get you in trouble." Kiki struggles but can't break free so she just looks down as Mill sighs. "Thank y-" His words are cut off as she head buts him in the face with the back of her head and he lets her go as she kicks back and slams him in the chest and sends him tumbling to the ground. Kiki looks down at Mill as he rubs his mouth. "Kiki stop please?" Kiki growls as Mill sighs. "I don't want to fight you."
"Too bad." Mill sighs as her gets up and easily blocks her punch and quickly gets behind her pinning her arm to her back as he puts his other arm around her chin and holds her in a head lock.
"Kiki stop it now!" Kiki struggles and gets his hand near her mouth and bites his hand. He yells as he lets her go and she spins and tries to punch him but he blocks and pulls her at him as he slams his elbow into her chin and sends her to the ground where she stays for a minute. "If you get back up Kiki I'll have to end this and tell the captain."
"She's just a girl Mill." Mill sighs.
"Maybe but the elders put the captain in charge and gave him his orders."
"They're stupid orders!"
"I know."
"Then stop him!"
"I have to follow my orders no matter how much I hate them you know that!" Kiki cried as Mill sighed. "I'm sorry Kiki."
"I'm not." Mill turned as he got a knee drove into his gut and fell to his knees as that same knee made contact with his face and the sound of breaking bones was heard as blood poured out of his now broken nose.
"Son of a bitch." Mills grabbed his nose as he looked up and saw a kid standing there with a red bandana across his face. "Who are you?"
"You don't need to know." Mill started to get up when the kid kicked him right in the knee cap and caused him to have and catch himself with his hands. The kid jumped up and put his foot on the back of his head as he curb stomped him into the ground. Kiki looked up at the kid as he looked down at Mill's. "He's right you know he does have to follow orders." Naruto looked at Kiki. "And so do you."
"I hate them."
"Good." Kiki blinked.
"What?"
"If you hate following the orders of bigots and liars who have their own dirty little secrets then join me."
"Why?"
"Simple the powers that have run this world for so long need to be gave a dose of reality and I'm the doctor." Kiki giggled at the stupid joke.
"Ok then but what's your goal?"
"That's simple I plan on taking power from those who abuse it and ending the corruption of others to bring the world closer to peace." Kiki sighed.
"Well I guess I can handle doing that." Kiki held her hand out as Naruto pulled the older woman up. "Kiki former Chunin of Taki."
"Naruto Uzumaki failed ninja of Konoha."
"Huh?"
"I never made it out of the academy." Kiki groaned.
"Oh great I'm following a drop out." Naruto grinned.
"Don't worry about it I'll be the first non ninja to hold as much power as a kage." Kiki sighed.
"Well it's to late now." Kiki pulled out a kunai as she scratched through the symbol of Taki on her headband. "Let's go boss." Naruto smiled as he walked into the woods that the girl who held Kurama's sister was being punished. They didn't have to walk far before they heard the sound of a whip meeting flesh ahead and a girls muffled scream. Naruto growled as he picked up the pace and Kiki followed behind him. They stopped behind some bushes that blocked them from the people in the clearing ahead. Naruto's rage was slowly building as they heard the whip smack against skin again and again as the girl was crying through an obvious mouth gag. "Those sick bastards." Kiki went to move but Naruto grabbed her arm.
"Wait?"
"What why?"
"I'm going to distract them I need you to get the girl and take her away where she'll be safe."
"You can't be serious." Kiki parted the bushes in front of them so they could see the clearing. Standing around watching were four Jonin as the man Naruto knew had to be the captain stood by a tree holding a six foot bull whip that was covered in blood. He saw a green dressed which had obviously been ripped off of the person wearing it. "See besides the captain there's four other Jonin." Kiki sighed. "You can't handle fighting five Jonin by yourself." Naruto smirked at Kiki.
"Don't worry I'll be fine I got an ace." Kiki sighed.
"You won't listen will you?"
"Nope."
"Fine but when they kick your ass don't come crying to me."
"Noted now get ready you'll know when to make your move." Kiki just nodded as Naruto crept off towards the right. Shushu sighed as he looked at the girl before him covered in welts as blood poured down her back barely hold herself up against the tree her arms were tied around. A few people like Kiki and secretly Mill thought he was a pervert who took sick pleasure in hurting the girl. In truth Shushu had been given the job of punishing her by the elders as his own form of punishment for when he had saved her life five years ago. Shushu wished he could do anything besides this but he was trying to protect her. The last time she had broken a rule he had given her a light punishment in hopes she would be to afraid to break the rules again. He didn't get why she'd show up today and try to enter the village without being called on but he needed to make it clear to her that breaking the rules was only going to cause her pain. He had decided to use the whip but the others thought the clothes would make it to easy on her so they had ripped off her shirt before tying her arms around the tree and gaging her mouth so her screams couldn't be heard in the village. Shushu had wanted to end the punishment already but he was on strict orders from one of the elders to beat her until she passed out from the pain and since she was still fighting he had to continue. He gulped as he brought the whip back and smacked it against her again. He watched as she slid down the tree a bit and yelled into the mouth gag but still fought to stay standing. One of the other Jonin laughed.
"Man what is that thirty already and she's still fighting." Another one smirked.
"She is a demon maybe she enjoys it and it's turning her on." The other all laugh as Shushu growled.
"Shut it you idiots!" The four Jonin immediately shut up as Shushu glared at them. "If you keep making such stupid comments I'll make you leave." One went to say something when he yelled as something grabbed the collar of his Jonin flak jacket and pulled him into the forest.
"What the fuck?!" They heard the sound of something slamming extremely hard into a tree before it went silent.
"Yo you ok man!" The others besides Shushu started to creep towards the area the Jonin had been pulled off to.
"Hey you idiot if you can hear us answer us!"
"He can't he's out cold." The Jonin look up and see a kid with a red bandana on his face sitting on a tree branch.
"Who the fuck are you?" The kid just smirks as he quickly tosses three smoke grenades at the Jonin below him. The Jonin were caught off guard and got stuck inside the smoke as they started to cough. "Stupid brat this won't help you." Naruto jumps down into the smoke as he walks up to one of the Jonin and kicks him in the shin and then falls to the ground as he turns and swings punching one of the others in the gut.
"Hah that's what you get for kicking me." The other guy coughs.
"You idiot I didn't kick you."
"What?"
"You hit me you idiot!"
"Where is that brat." Naruto grinned as he walked behind another of the Jonin and pulled his pants down before shoving him forwards and making him fall down. "Son of a bitch!" The guy gets back up as he pulls his pants back up.
"What?"
"The little shit pantsed me!" The other two started to laugh. "It's not funny!"
"Yeah it is."
"Oh yeah." He reared back and slugged the other guy in the face.
"What the fuck dude?!"
"Not funny anymore is it."
"Calm down you guys he's trying to make us look like idiots." Naruto smiles as he taps the guy on his back. He turns around only to get dirt Naruto had picked up right in his eyes. "God damn it!"
"What?"
"He threw dirt in my eyes." Naruto walked behind one of the Jonin as he smirked.
"You sure are stupid." The Jonin blinded by dirt growled as he lunged and drove his forearm into the back of his friends head.
"You idiot that was me!"
"I cant stand this little shit!" Naruto walked behind the other Jonin and shoved him forwards as the one blinded by dirt saw him coming and lashed out nailing him square on the jaw knocking him out. Naruto laughed as the two Jonin looked towards his voice.
"You just took out your own dude you guys are so stupid."
"I'll kill you!" The one blinded by dirt rushed forward as Naruto moved sideways and put his foot out tripping him and making him slam his head into a tree knocking him out.
"Then there was one."
"One is more than enough to beat you."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah you little punk." Naruto sighed as he picked up a rock.
"Ok then let's see if your right." Naruto threw the rock and wasn't surprised when his enemy caught it. The Jonin brought his hand to his face as he opened it and saw the fist sized rock.
"Really a rock."
"Flip it over." The Jonin blinked but did it anyways and as soon as he did a seal went off releasing knockout powder into his face. The Jonin dropped the rock as he stumbled back and forth before falling over. Kiki and Shushu watched as the noise from the smoke stopped. The smoke started to blow away and when it did Kiki was completely shocked. Naruto sat there surrounded by three Jonin holding a half eaten energy bar. Naruto swallowed the bit in his mouth as he looked at Shushu. "These guys are idiots." Shushu sighed.
"Yes they are." Naruto stood up as he finished his energy bar.
"And your the Jonin captain right?"
"Yes I am."
"So your their boss right?" Shushu sighed.
"Yes sadly." Naruto smirked.
"Man am I glad you do a piss poor job." Shushu shrugged.
"Not my fault I've warned them to not overlook any opponent they wont listen."
"Probably has to do with the fact the most action they see is you guys jumping and beating the crap out of a girl." Shushu sighed.
"Maybe."
"Why do you hate her?" Shushu looked at Naruto who's eyes seemed laser focused. Shushu took the bull whip in his hand and threw it away.
"I don't." Kiki who was watching almost jumped into the clearing to call him a liar.
"Really now?" Shushu sighed.
"Kiki you can come out from the bushes." Kiki covered her mouth before shaking her head. She stood up and entered the clearing.
"When did you notice me?"
"As soon as you two arrived." Naruto smirked as Kiki just felt her entire believed world view point fall to pieces.
"What?"
"As soon as you two got here I knew it."
"Why didn't you tell your men?"
"Because he needed them taken care of." Kiki turned around as Mill stood right behind her rubbing his jaw. "You're real ruthless kid."
"Yeah I know."
"What the heck is going on?!" Shushu sighed.
"First things first we need to get Fu back to her house and these wounds treated." Shushu untied Fu's arms as the girl fell to the ground. Shushu removed her mouth gag before covering her upper body with his flak jacket to protect her modesty as best he could. He gently lifted Fu as he turned and headed for the edge of town with the others right behind him. "Kiki get doctor Mel she'll actually heal Fu." Kiki nodded as she ran back towards town. Mill and Naruto followed behind Shushu as they reached a wooden hut that looked like it barely kept out the weather. Shushu opened the door as he walked in and laid Fu on her bed. He came out to see Kiki and Mel running to the hut.
"Where is she?"
"On her bed." Mel ran right past Shushu as Kiki stopped and bent over to catch her breath.
"Man she's fast."
"You're just under conditioned." Kiki growled as she looked at Mill.
"What was that?" Mill just smirked at her.
"Calm down Kiki he's trying to riel you up." Kiki sighed as Naruto turned back to Shushu.
"Ok why are you in charge of her punishment if you don't hate her." Shushu smiled.
"It's my own form of personal hell."
"What?"
"Fu is my niece."
"What?!"
"You never told me that."
"No I didn't Mill." Shushu sighed. "When she was borne our village elders thought her being the child of our two strongest ninjas would make her an excellent choice to contain the Nanabi."
"What happened?"
"The sealing went fine but we had done it away from the village for safety reason and on our way back were ambushed by rouge ninjas." Shushu shook his head. "Most of us died including my brother and his wife."
"The Nanabi." Kiki and Mill looked at Naruto. "They wanted the Nanabi." Shushu nodded.
"Yes they did."
"She was blamed."
"We returned and if I knew what happened would have I wouldn't have said a word."
"You reported the attack and the reason why."
"As soon as I told them that they had been coming for the Nanabi she was blamed." Shushu started to cry. "She was only four days old and lost both her parents and they blamed her for it!" Shushu stood up. "They said she was a disgrace and only brought us ruin since our two strongest ninjas had died." Shushu turned and punched the boulder he had been sitting on actually cracking the thing in half. "She was a baby god damn it and then five years ago they made some fake charges against her and word spread she was a demon!" Shushu was raging. "They tried to kill her and because I stopped it I was told she was my responsibility and any rule she broke I had to be the one to punish her!"
"If she's your niece what were you doing earlier?"
"I always went soft on her but she just kept breaking the rules and it hurt me so much to have to hurt her so today when she broke that stupid rule about coming to the fucking village I wanted to make her so afraid and leave her both physical and mental scars that she'd never break a rule again!" Shushu shook as he walked over to a small shrub and ripped it out of the ground with nothing more than brute strength and flung it. "I didn't want to rip off her shirt and I sure as hell didn't want to go that far but an elder heard about her rule breaking and told me to beat the fight right out of her and to not stop till I did and with the others watching I had no choice because if I didn't they'd hand her punishment over to someone else who would be ten times more brutal."
"What about today then?" Shushu looked at Kiki. "Would they have been more brutal than you were today?"
"Yes." Kiki looked at Naruto.
"You can't be serious!"
"Kiki he just cracked a boulder in two and ripped a shrub out with nothing but his own insane strength if he had used his full power when whipping Fu he would have torn the skin right off her back and we could have seen her spine." Kiki shuddered at the image.
"So what now captain?" Shushu looks at Mill.
"For me I join Kiki and her friend as a missing nin."
"You can't be serious sir!" Shushu nodded.
"I am if anything this kid came to recruit Fu herself and if she leaves the elders will have no power over me and I will go with her." Mill sighs.
"And as for me?"
"I'm sure he'll be back someday to take out the corrupt leadership of this village so your job is to earn my spot and the elders trust so you can keep tabs on their movements for us." Mill sighed.
"If you say so Shushu."
"But Mill that's dangerous." Mill smiled at Kiki.
"I'll be fine." Kiki looked down as Mill walked over to her and pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry Kiki I'll be here when you return." Kiki looked up at Mill.
"Promise?" Mill smiled as he leaned down and kissed her.
"Promise." Naruto smirked as Shushu just shook his head.
"About damn time." Kiki just giggled like a school girl as Mill smiled in embarrassment. Mel walked out of Fu's hut as she looked at everyone. "How is she?" Mel sighed.
"It's the strangest thing ever she's just fine."
"What?"
"I cleaned the blood off her back and besides some bruised skin her back is fine."
"How?"
"The demons have healing abilities." Mel looked at Naruto.
"Really?"
"Yes depending on the demons strength the quicker they heal."
"But she had to be hurt so bad most people would be in the hospital for a few weeks after that beating."
"Yeah and if we had the time I'd have her put in one for a bout five days but we don't."
"What does that mean?" Shushu sighed.
"We're leaving Mel."
"What?"
"Me, Kiki and the kid are taking Fu and leaving the village."
"Well then I'm glad I brought so many supplies."
"Mel."
"Don't Mel me Shushu you know better than that."
"It's too dangerous."
"Which is why I'm coming so if you need immediate care I can give it to you." Shushu sighed. "Besides Fu is my patient and I can't leave her until I know she is fully healed."
"Fine Mel but don't go anywhere alone got it?" Mel smiled.
"Of course not." Mel went back inside as the others looked at Shushu.
"What?"
"Dude really."
"Even I can see it." Shushu looked away.
"See what?"
"The signals Mel is sending you." Shuhu coughed.
"We've been best friends for years is all."
"Yeah well I think she wants to go further."
"They have a point."
"I have no idea what you three are talking about."
"Sure Shushu when you decide to see reality instead of fantasy land let me know." Shushu glared at Naruto.
"Yeah whatever brat." Naruto held out his hand.
"Naruto Uzumaki failed ninja of Konoha." Shushu smirked.
"Shushu Adachi former Jonin captain of Taki." Shushu shook Naruto's hand. "So what are you doing?"
"Oh nothing big just overthrowing the current corrupt rules of this world." Shushu chuckled.
"I see so just a normal everyday occurrence in the world."
"Pretty much." Mel came back out holding her medical bag.
"Just so you all know she'll be up and ready to move in another hour at the most."
"Good."
"Mill I know you probably want to spend this last hour with Kiki but I need you to return to the village and bog down the elders getting a search party up and running and tell them I already am in pursuit of the culprit who grabbed Fu and they weren't at her hut."
"Got it Shushu." Mill kissed Kiki on the cheek. "I'll see you sometime baby." Kiki smiled as Mill walked off.
