" How did you do that?" Geop said, clearly puzzled as to how Misuteri was now on top of him.
" You weren't the only weird one in our village." Misuteri muttered.
Misuteri reached around to pull out a kunai and readied it to stab.
" Wait." Geop said quickly. " If you jab that kunai into me you'll die from the poison in my blood splashing on your skin."
" Your bluffing." Misuteri snarled.
" Am I?" Geop said arrogantly. " You think with my skills in water jutsu I didn't anticipate someone could stab me with a blade? I control my own poison. If you kill me you will die."
Misuteri-sensei paused for a moment considering his plan of action before he put the kunai away.
" I don't have to stab you to subdue you." Misuteri smiled and proceeded to trap Geop's legs with his earth jutsu.
" Once all your whole Viper clan are defeated we'll send all the Hidden Cloud Villagers to put you away."
"You think I will let them put me away?" Geop snarled. " When your someone like me, it's easy to imagine being trapped like this. But I found a way to escape prison, conditioning myself to become poison reincarnate. I made a way to take my own like and the life of everyone near me. I call it: Gehaptsu Viper Death."
Misuteri flinched and his eyes widened. " You can't possibly mean…suicide?"
" No. Suicide is when you take your own life. I'm not taking my own life. I'll take your life first before my death comes." Geop's mouth widened into a hysterical smile " The greatest joy in my life is dying after my bullies."
Misuteri raised his kunai and quickly brought it down before stopping just short of Geop's neck.
" What's the matter? Afraid of my blood?" Geop mocked "Do it. Put that kunai in my neck. I might even not bleed over you. If not, then let the poison cover you in my inner liquids. Without your legs you have nothing else to do. It's a quick death for me but a long excruciatingly painful death for you. Nothing you can do can stop it."
Misuteri desperately looked around hope for one of his students to come save him but he saw no sign of them, he put his head down with a defeated sigh.
" What are you waiting for? Do it?" Misuteri said quietly.
" What? You're not going to stop me or call for help?" Geop asked mockingly.
" You were right. It's my consequences that strengthen this behavior; that helped you become strong. If I helped you instead of just watching you then this would never have happened. Let me die with you."
" Are you mocking me?" Geop said angrily. " I will send you to the next life, I'm going to make you red with my blood and burning on the inside. It will be your downfall."
" We're on our own. There's no consequences to your actions. No one is going to miss us, so let's just go away together." Misuteri said sadly.
" You really want to die?" Geop asked suspiciously.
" Of course I want to live long enough to know if I could ever have children, but I think dying a child is better than dying a father. It's too bad you always got mad when you say me and hated me so much. I thought the two of us could be very good friends."
Misuteri was winning in a battle of wits. In all his ears watching Geop being bullied he cowering because he was weak he learned one important thing. Bullies strive on people's suffering from their own suffering. Take away the suffering and the bully wonders " How could someone just smile after what I did to him?". Geop didn't blow himself up just like Misuteri-sensei hoped for. He cried and yelled all those hidden feelings he had for over teen years still lingering in his heart.
" Your an idiot! You don't understand anyone's feelings! You treated me like I didn't belong in my village, but I just never believed in being normal like everyone else! I was proud to be the way I was except no one understood me. I don't hate you anymore. I haven't been for the last five years. Your still unconversant, unbelievably thick, and have the knowledge of a five year old...but through all of that...I forgive you."
The day came when the pinnacle of Misuteri-sensei's powers were revealed. The power to help people. He helped Geop release all that anger and turn it into tears. Geop reached up and hugged Misuteri. Poor baby, Misuteri thought petting Geop's back like a baby. Unbeknownst to Geop a part of his group was watching him cry over Misuteri. Did that make them lose respect for him? No. It made them a little lonely. Their fathers barely hugged them and now their leader was getting one.
" You three are next." Misuteri-sensei said to the three bandits behind Geop. Tiny trickles of tears ran down their eyes as they nodded their heads.
OOO
Word spread of Geop of the Viper Hand's surrender. The Raikage and the Hidden Cloud Villagers returned. Geop is awaiting trail for the Raikage to decide his fate, but since he never hurt anyone but the Raikage he was going to have a fair trial for his coup against the Raikage.
As for Misuteri-sensei, Haro, Koki, and Rei...they went to find Misuteri-sensei's friend in the Land of Lightning. What Haro, Koki, and Rei didn't understand was why they couldn't just take the eagles to get to the Land of Waves.
' I'm sure the eagles will return when we get to the Land of Waves. What is sensei thinking?' Haro thought as they made their way up the mountain.
" Friend, hello," Misuteri-sensei called to the woods. No one answered. " We need your help getting to the Land of Waves."
No one answered. Haro was getting sick of all this waiting. He was about to walk up to Misuteri-sensei and give him a piece of his mind. Suddenly the ground shook and Haro fell. Koki and Rei helped him while Misuteri-sensei laughed in triumph. " Sensei, what is..." Haro never got to finish his sentence when he saw Misuteri-sensei's "friend".
A tortoise walked through the woods. The tortoise had four long grey legs with four giant nails. It had yellow skin and a green shell. Most of all it was big. The biggest thing the group had ever seen. The next thing they knew sensei jumped on the tortoise's back and waved to them.
" Get in his shell."
