CHAPTER 4
Massacre and Recruitment Part 2
"H-Hyuga Hiashi...fancy meeting you here of all places...cough cough!" Said Shishui in between coughing fits.
'That crow on his shoulder...there's no doubt about it, that's one of Itachi's crow summons! He must have sent it ahead to get help before he came to do battle against me, but why did he not go to inform the A.N.B.U or the Hokage, does he really not trust the higher ups that much? The only reason I can think of, besides the fact that he chose the perfect opponent for me, is that he wanted someone from another clan to witness this in order to ensure his and his family's protection, after all, the Hokage wouldn't order the complete annihilation of a clan in front of another clan head, the clans would desert the village if they ever found out. Damn you Itachi, just how far ahead did you plan for this?' Thought Shishui angrily.
"You're injured and half exhausted already, as a member of the noble Hyuga clan, I would have rather fought you at your full strength, but as a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village, it matter not, I will kill you right here and now for your transgressions...Uchiha Shishui!" Said Hiashi, adopting the traditional Hyuga initial battle stance. The crow on his shoulder dispelled itself in a puff of smoke, having completed its mission and not wanting to be caught in the cross fire.
"We'll see about that...!" Replied Shishui ominously.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became thick and heavy with the immense killing intent the two foes were directing at each other, staring at each other with fierce determination, their respective doujutsus never looking any more menacing then they did in that instant. A heavy breeze picked up all of a sudden, as if to encourage the soon to be blood shed that was about to ensure.
'I've already expended almost half of my chakra and my left arm has ceased functioning while he is fresh and ready for battle, moreover, this is the most powerful member of the Hyuga clan, a clan with strength and ocular prowess that rivals our own. A very unfavorable situation, demo...'
"To put someone in a genjutsu, one has to transfer their chakra to their opponent's chakra system, and then in turn use that chakra to manipulate the victim's senses of observation, hearing, smell, taste, and touch by manipulating their nervous system. But, that method does not work so well against a Byakugan master, who has the ultimate visual perception of chakra, furthermore, our clan's chakra manipulating abilities, especially with regards to expelling chakra from our bodies make it that much easier for us to get rid of the foreign chakra in our system. You get it right? You don't have a chance against me, I'll give you one more chance to forfeit and turn yourself in." Said Hiashi with a touch or arrogance.
"Hn, perhaps you are right, indeed a master Byakugan user such as yourself will be able to see through and dispell my genjutsu with ease, demo, that does not mean that you are immune to genjutsu, you can still be affected by my jutsu, even if only for a split second, that is more than enough for me to finish the battle!" Replied Shishui. In that instant, his left eye reverted back to his mangyeko form before he disappeared in a silent shunshin.
Shishui quickly appeared on Hiashi's right hand side with a tanto in his right hand poised to stab his opponent through the side and through his kidney, but Hiashi reacted too fast for his young foe, twisting around quickly with a horizontal slash of his chakra covered hand.
"Your teleportation speed is the best, but as the supreme master of the the Hyuga's taijutsu style, my strike rate and speed are unrivalled, now die you lowly...!" Trailed off Hiashi, watching in silent shock as his hand just fazed through his opponent.
"Behind you Hiashi san, and...its over!" Said Shishui from behind the Hyuga clan head, attempting a decapitating slash on Hiashi's neck only for his eyes to widen in shock when chakra barrier deflected his tanto to the side.
"A genjutsu that creates an inverted world where everything is the opposite of what it appears to be, an interesting and no doubt powerful jutsu indeed. Demo...did you really believe that you could sneak up on someone who has a three sixty degree line of vision?" Asked Hiashi with an uncharacteristic sinister smirk on his face.
'What is this chakra?' Thought Shishui to himself before his eyes widened even more, if that was even possible.
'Chakra that is strong and solid enough to not only be manifested outside of the body in its purest form, but also enough so that it can redirect even a strong weapon like a tanto...impossible, this is...!"
"You figured it out? But too late! Kaiten!" Shouted Hiashi, spinning around so fast that the chakra shroud around him, with the help of shape manipulation, turned into a giant spinning dome of blue chakra.
Shishui was not fast enough to completely avoid the jutsu from such a close range, more so because of the sheer size of the jutsu. Shishui, backwards at rapid speeds and crashing into and through some of the surrounding buildings of the Uchiha clan could not help but wonder how someone can create a jutsu of that size and magnitude with raw chakra alone. That sphere must have been at least two and a half times bigger then any he had ever seen before.
"If your opponent is too fast and elusive, then destroy him with an instant, and wide area counter attack, no matter how fast you are, there is only so much that a human can do as long as they rely on movement, only an instant transportation technique like the one used by the Fourth Lord could have been able to avoid that attack within my range." Said Hiashi without a shred of emotion, which was truly the complete opposite of what he was actually feeling, there was absolutely no better high then fighting and being close to defeating what was currently the strongest member of his clan's arch rival clan.
"Cough...Hiashi...cough cough...san, is it over?" Asked Itachi, who had silently managed to move himself away from the immediate battle scene, now leaning tiredly against the wall of an 'abandoned' building close by.
"No, that wouldn't have been enough to kill him, his chakra system is still working relatively fine and he is getting up. It would appear that he was still able to avoid most of my attack, I was only able to crack a few of his ribs, what an elusive guy." Replied Hiashi.
"I see...cough...I'm losing a lot of blood, do you think you could...cough cough...end it quickly?" Asked Itachi.
"Brace yourself, he's coming back, in your weakened condition, he might try to use you as a hostage, make sure that doesn't happen." Ordered Hiashi.
"H-hai." Replied Itachi.
"Hehehehehehehe! Ehehehehehehe! Ahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahaha!" Laughed Shishui manicaly, limping out of the gaping hole in one of the buildings that he had crashed against.
"What do you have to laugh at? You can't hide anything from these eyes of mine, do you really think that there is anything you can do in your physical condition?" Asked Hiashi with narrowed eyes.
"Hahahaha! Do you fools honestly think that you are the only ones that know how to plan ahead? My goal is to exterminate the Uchiha clan and it shall be done!" Shouted Shishui with an insane facial expression.
"Planned ahead? What are you talkin about?" Asked Itachi nervously, a sinking feeling eating at the bottom of his stomach.
"Before I attacked the clan, I created a shadow clone and had it hide its presence until a good opportunity presented itself. This opportunity presented itself when you allowed Aunt Mikoto and Sasuke kun to be seperated from you, because...the clone has only one order to fulfill before the end of its existense, to eliminate Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Sasuke!" Explained Shishui with a mad smirk on his face.
Itachi's eyes widened in shock and dispair, his eyes on the verge of tears and his lower lip quivering. His life flashed back right in front of his eyes, all the times that his mother took care of him when he hurt himself during training, all the times he played with and tought Sasuke some shuriken techniques. His mother's loving smile and his brother's look of admiration when he made it into the A.N.B.U squads. And then lastly, an image of his two remaining loved ones lying face first on the ground with large pools of blood beneath them flashed on his mind, a demonized face of Shishui hanging above the image, laughing madly at his predicament.
"Itachi, north east 3 miles away, hurry up, the clone hasn't found them yet! Snap out of it boy!" Shouted Hiashi, the veins around his eyes enlarging even more in concentration. Itachi was immediately broken from his self loathing and disappeared in a quick burst of speed without even replying.
'Hiashi! Damn you and those eyes!' Thought Shishui angrily.
"In his current condition, even a clone might be too much trouble for him. I didn't want to have to use this technique, but you leave me no choice, I have to end this quickly so that I can help Itachi. Be proud of yourself Shishui, you are the first person to witness this secrete Hyuga technique." Said Hiashi, taking a strange stance, similar but significantly different to the eight trigrams sixty four palms.
"That stance, do you really think I will allow you to engage me in a taijutsu battle? Earlier, you said that my teleportation speed was useless if my strike rate was slower then yours, well, it works both ways, your strike speed is useless when I can simply run away with my teleportation speed." Retorted Shishui.
"Do not be mistaken, this is not a taijutsu attack, this is a secret Hyuga clan ninjutsu!" Replied Hiashi, his body emitting lightning transmissions from head to toe.
"EIght Trigrams: 256 Byakurai Shots!" Said Hiashi, pointing his index and middle fingers together and curling the rest of the fingers into his hand, the Hyuga clan head was able to shoot a great number of lightning bolts from his finger tips at hypersonic speeds, all aimed towards his opponent with the intent to kill.
Shishu tried his best to dodge as many as he could with his super speed, but it wasn't enough, not only were the lightning bolts too fast, but there were just too many of them to dodge.
'Gwaah!...at this rate, the only thing I can manage is to avoid getting damage in my vital areas, but I can't stop all of them from hitting me! I can't believe this guy had such a jutsu up his sleeve, has the Hyuga clan really been this strong all this time?' Thought Shishui, trying to resist the pain of having his arms and shoulders punctured right through like paper, heck some of the bolts were penetrating even five and six buildings as far as he could count, even the chakra shroud he was maintaining around his body was rendered useless.
"One hundred and twenty eight shots...Two hundred and fifty six shots!" Shouted Hiashi.
'I can't believe it, he's getting even faster the higher the number of shots he throws! I will die if I don't do something about this...there's no way around it, I will have to use that jutsu...to think that someone not even of Uchiha descent could force me to use the third power of my eyes...ridiculous!' Though Shishui, closing his eyes only for a split second and then openning them with both of his eyes in mangyeko form.
A large vaccum like portal appeared out of thin air just as Shishui was about to use his third power, sucking in all of the lightning bolts that Hiashi had directed towards the homocidal Uchiha.
"You don't have enough chakra left to use that jutsu...Shishui! What would be the point of protecting yourself from your enemy's jutsu only to die from chakra exhaustion afterwards? Come, there's nothing left for you here!" Said a dark and sinister voice from inside the space time technique, Shishui, not given a chance to protest was also sucked into the vacuum after all the lightning bolts were disposed off.
"W...who or w-what are y-you!" Sputtered Hiashi uncharacteristically.
"My name shall be revealed to you at a later time, but if you must know, I am Shishui's mentor. I'm impressed and surprised that you were able to defeat Shishui, you remind me of the founder of your clan, Hyuga Seiko! You have the same look he used to have, his blood is strongly manifest in you..." Replied the Mysterious voice from the portal.
"Hyuga Seiko? You speak of him as if you knew him personally, but that would mean that you're...impossible!" Shouted Hisahi with a shake of the head.
"My power is vast and limitless, nothing is impossible to me! We shall meet again in the future, you will have your rematch with Shishui when we come back to destroy this village, count on it..." Replied the strange voice, trailing off as the portal disappeared from the space.
'What on Kami's earth was that! And that chakra...I've never felt anything like that before...!' Thought Hiashi.
'My hands are shaking and my body is trembling! Was his presence really that powerful, to leave me feeling like this even after he was gone? More importantly, who was that and what was his relation to Shishui besides being a mentor? Was he another Uchiha? No! There has never been a rogue Uchiha shinobi since Uchiha Madara, and he's dead! I will have to think about this later, I have to go and help Itachi!' Thought Hiashi, disappearing with a leaf shunshin...
CHAPTER END
I know it was short, but I guess that would be expected since I only wrote this in the space of two and a half hours.
As you all can guess, Hiashi's jutsu is a variation of one of the kido techniques used in bleach, except used with raiton chakra and in combination with the eight trigrams 64/128/256 palms technique.
I guess I don't need to tell you who saved shishui, you all already know that.
I apologise again for the lack of Naruto, last chapter I promised I would reveal him and where/ what he was doing, but didn't, I apologise for making such an apparently empty promise.
This chapter was really short, but if you look at the bright side, it might mean quicker updates, I think I could possibly update again in two days or even tommorrow depending on how I feel, I couldn't write much today because I didn't sleep last night and it was hard to concentrate because of that.
In any case, let me just say that the next chapter will be Naruto centred, in fact, I have already begun writting the first paragraph and it starts off with an Oto scene, so yeah.
I was meaning to add Suzumebachi to the Harem, but I don't know, think it might be too many girls, but I will let you guys decide, depending on how many people actually want her then I will make a final decision.
I will leave this chapter hanging here and you will probably not hear of what transpires after this for quite a while, until the chuunin exams maybe, but I will touch back on it when it becomes relevant to the story, like I said before, these last two chapters are very important for the story.
Don't worry if the story seems scattered and unplanned, I will pull it together in no time, you'll see, this story is planned up until the ninja war just like my other two stories.
The Title of the next chapter is...
'The Demon Of The Mist vs The Shark Monster Of Oto.'
Hope you guys enjoyed it so far, tell me what you think.
Good day.
