Chapter 26: Black Sand Vs "The Brothers".
Kukoro smiled as he ran his, gauntlet covered, right hand through the long, mid back length, black hair. Behind him his younger twin brothers, Yukoro and Tomoro, sneared. He stepped forward and smiled as the sun light shone upon the Hidden Sound head band he had tied upon his right arm, the same as Shinjin had his Hidden Leaf head band upon his own arm.
"Kukoro?" Shinjin reached for his older cousin and grasped his face in his hand. "Is it truely you cousin?"
"Beloved cousin," Kukoro grasped Shinjin's face as well, "Didnt that bastard of a father of yours teach you not to walk to your enemies with out being more careful?" Kukoro lifted his cousin over his head and tossed him over to the feet of of the fellow Genin. "You son of a tainted bitch." Kukoro walked up to Shinjin and kicked him hard in the stomach sending him nearly four feet into the air and over the heads of the other genin.
"Easy brother." Tomoro grasped Kukoro's arm. "We've waited along time for this, dont spoil it now. Look at him. He's barely alive."
"Lets kill the rest of them." Yukoro walked up and grasped Kukoro's other arm. "Shinjin has to wait anyways."
"Listen to your brothers." Kabuto said smiling. Hurigo picked his teeth with his fingers and laughed.
"I raised them viciously, no my lord?" Hurigo walked up and placed his arms around the twin Yamamoto brothers. "You like them Shinjin? I helped them become the killers they are today!"
"You?" Shinjin caughed loudly.
"You see when they told me they had a cousin who was still alive I thought that that it was going to have black hair and black eyes. Not red hair and black eyes." Hurigo smiled. "They werent very good at remembering what you looked like."
"S-s-surprised that Kukoro doesnt." Shinjin stood up slowly with help from Ukito and Geof. Lin and Kairi stood behind them with Suki and Mako standing before the still injured Sinji and Susuke. He looked over at the jounin who were being held at bay by just the mere sight of Kabuto. "After all, last time we spent family time together," He smiled at his cousin, "Beloved cousin, I kicked your ass."
Kukoro lunged at Shinjin only to get blasted in the shoulder by a spike of black sand. Tomoro and Yukoro raised their hands in response to have black spikes rise from their own gourds and strike into the shoulders Ukito and Kairi. Shinjin waved his hand to have the sand fall away from his squad mates only to have Kukoro lift his hand up and a spear drove its way into Shinjin's stomach.
Shinjin looked at his cousin who smiled big. "Beloved cousin, I hope you liked the reunion." Kukoro crawled over to his cousin and grasped Shinjin's face. "Because the next one will be much more enjoyable, for me that is." Kukoro vanished as he finished in a puff of black sand. Tomoro and Yukoro followed suit vanishing as well.
Shinjin looked over to see Hurigo and Kabuto vanish just as Hinto and Chiji rushed them. He stared up to see Lin crying over him and felt Felicia's hands upon his chest. His vision went blury and turned dark.
Kabuto stepped into the large room and stretched his arms over his head. Hurigo walked in after ihm followed by Kukoro, Tomoro, and Yukoro. Kabuto stepped up to a large desk and sat behind it looking at the three brothers.
"You could have killed him." Kabuto said coldly. "We need him alive."
"I wasnt going to kill my cousin." Kukoro laughed. He pulled off his cloak to reveal burnt flesh across his right arm. He removed his gauntlet and exhaled loudly when his twisted, scarred and broken hand came free of the gauntlet. "I need him alive until he reaches the Northern Deserts."
"Then you will get your rightful power brother." Tomoro said happily. He removed his cloak to reveal a chishled yet burnt flesh across the right side of his chest. He gasped when his gauntlet came off and his blackened hand came out into fresh air. "Our father was denied the right to be the head of the clan. Kukoro will not suffer his fate as well."
"Right you are brother." Yukoro smiled. He too removed his cloak to reveal a mirrored burn to Tomoro's, Yukoro's burnt flesh being across the left side of his chest. He twisted his gauntlet and watched it as fell from his stump of a right hand. "We will get what is ours, and let Shinjin rot in hell like his mother and father."
Kabuto looked to Hurigo with wide eyes. "You never told them? After all of these years?"
"I didnt think she would wake your Lord." Hurigo said turning his expressionless face away. "It was unexpected."
"That bitch sister of the Kazekage's is still alive?" Kukoro slammed his left hand down hard on the table before Kabuto. "What is going on Lord Hurigo? My father paid for the whole clan to be taken out! Its bad enough my sad pathetic little shit of a cousin survived now you're telling me she is too?"
"Kill him Kukoro!" Tomoro and Yukoro shouted at the same time.
"Take one swing towards that man and I will remove your brother's other hand." Hurigo said viciously. Kukoro backed away from the desk, Yukoro grasped his stump and looked away from the clone. "Get back to your tents. Rest now."
"Yes Sensei Hurigo." The brothers all spoke as one. They gathered their cloaks and belongings and left the room silently.
"Kukoro is becoming a problem." Hurigo spoke as soon as the brothers were out of ear shot. "He is getting cocky and is getting to big of a head for his own good."
"Kukoro is loyal to me." Kabuto assured Hurigo. "As long as we keep him happy, then he will make the twins stay loyal also. The younger brothers will do all that the olders say." Kabuto turned in his chair and pushed the glasses further up his nose. "We need to move, this postion is comprismised. Have One and Two set up the Village in the Southern Sea, we'll be there with in the month."
"Lord do you think its smart that we move now?" Hurigo asked. "Nine will need at least a week to recover and the brothers have just had their first taste of the up coming war. You know as well as I do that the Yamamoto's are vicious; remember the stories we've heard of them during the war against Danzo. They burned down every squad they encountered under the head of Inchin Yamamoto."
"Luckily Inchin is dead." Kabuto smiled. "Have you sent our yearly thanks to them?"
"Sent it this morning." Hurigo bowed.
"Leave me Hurigo," Kabuto waved his hand, "Remember to send word to One and Two also. I want to enjoy andradiate in today's small victory."
"Yes Lord Kabuto." Hurigo bowed low and walked backwards from the room leaving the white haired man alone.
