Yeah sorry about the last chapter guys. I mixed up Gin and Kin's names. I'm sure you guys realized but yeah. I got mixed up because Gin means silver and I named Kin(which means gold) Kin even though he has silver hair. So, that's my mess up. I'll fix it eventually, but right now I'm getting started on another chapter. Thanks for all the follows and favorites. It means a lot. School is about to pick up, but I'm gonna rush to get this out. Anyways, let's get the reviews and this going.
Resurrection99: I know right?! I did as well when I reread it after I started working on Chapter 8. I'm glad it had such a great effect on you. I was very proud of that chapter.
I don't own Naruto

Chapter 9:
It's been about a day since we rescued Gaara, and I managed to kill off those two Akatsuki members. It wasn't exactly hard, but I know that Pein will give me some trouble, especially if he teams with Itachi. While I have a chance at winning, I don't think the training I've done is good enough to guarantee a win. That said I had some enlightenment. I've been training my water release all of this time, but I haven't been training my lightning release. I also need to take a look at that scroll I got a few days ago.
I'm out at one of the training grounds again. I figure I'll start looking at the scroll. There's a lot to digest with the scroll. It's very complicated and requires way too many hand seals to actually be useful in battle. I go through the hand seals, and I feel a force pull me to where I wanted to go. I flashed forward about 10 feet and felt an intense nausea wash over me. This isn't good at all. I feel too sick to operate at full capacity. I'll just summon some clones so they can practice it.
After the 10 clones I summoned did the jutsu twice, they weren't able to handle it anymore and dispelled. The feeling of nausea that I got from the memories was, well, ten times worse than I was already feeling. I had to lay down to get rid of it all. After about an hour, I was good to go again. I went through the seals and activated the jutsu. I got more nauseous, but I was able to handle it a bit better. It almost feels like what seasick is described as. That feeling is terrible, but I'll get used to it eventually. I practiced this all day and I was able to mediate the nausea by about 10%. I could just brute force it the rest of the way, but I'd only be able to get it up another 10% before risking chakra exhaustion. So, I brute force the 20% nausea resistance, and it was probably one of the worst things I've had to deal with, aside from trying to be murdered.
I practiced this move for about a week and was finally able to get rid of the nausea, for the most part. I now allocate 30 clones to continuously bring the seals down. In the meantime, I've been trying to create some lightning techniques, so I could work on my lightning affinity. While I was thinking about a concept for the idea, I just practiced other techniques I knew such as the lightning dragon and Kakashi's lightning blade. It took me a few days to think of a concept for my new jutsu. I take my lightning chakra as I supercharge it to a plasma state. I fire it out as a massive cone-like blast. I gave up halfway through thinking of a name and just called it Plasma Funnel. I got 40 clones to start working on that jutsu as I thought up a new way to refine my lightning ninjutsu. I thought about the lightning armor technique. I want to take that to specifically increase my reactions, but I want it to increase them more than the lightning armor. I sent out 30 clones to help me get an understanding of that concept, and I decided to call it the Electric Strike technique. I dispelled the 40 clones working on the Plasma Funnel technique and the 30 working on the teleportation technique. I want to call it "flash step", but I don't wanna copy Bleach from when I was still on my earth. I'll come up with a name for it later. It'll be nameless for right now. I practiced it and felt no nausea, and it had gone down 5 of the 100 seals needed to make it sealless in this time. Meanwhile, I had just managed to get the concept of plasma down. I'll be paying more attention to that while I'm working on these. I'll allocate 50 clones to the Plasma Funnel technique and 40 to the teleportation jutsu. I'll replace them whenever they need to be replaced. Right now, I have to go spend time with little Gin and Temari.
I left the training ground and finally met Temari in Kazekage's Tower. Gin was off playing with kids from the Sand village. I'm just glad he's been having fun. In about 5 years, he'll be able to be a ninja like me. I'll be glad to pass on my skills, I just don't know if I'll have the heart to put him on the path of murder and death that I'm on. Hopefully, after I take out the Akatsuki, the world will be peaceful, and he can grow to be stronger than me. Shaking those thoughts out of my head, I decided to not distract him from having fun and instead wanted to have some fun with Temari instead.
I finally saw Temari, and it didn't look like she was busy. I stepped into her office with some food that I had just got for her and sat down. She was wearing a loose kimono that tried to, unsuccessfully, hid her curves. I sat down on the other side, and we talked for a bit while she was doing her work. I asked if we could be left alone. The anbu in the room evacuated, and I put a privacy seal and noise suppression seal up on the wall, while locking the doors and windows. I also closed the blinds, just to be safe. "Looks like you're pretty stressed Ms. Sabaku. I happen to be an excellent masseuse, and I might just have the remedy for you." She groans out, while her head is resting on her arms, "Yes, please Kin. I can't stand this boring paperwork. I just want to go practice with my fan and fight." I say nothing as I get behind her and start giving her a shoulder, neck, and back massage. I really get in there and make sure she's feeling good. As I start getting to the best part, she starts moaning in pure pleasure. I make sure to get all along her back to relieve all of the tension. After I'm done, we sit there and chat for a little bit until she has to go back to working on the paperwork. I spent the rest of the day spending time with Gin.

Around Two Years Since Arriving
I'm standing in front of Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari while we're in Gaara's office. It's my final time in the Sand village. It's been an enlightening time being here. I've gotten closer with these people in front of me and my son. My relationships have only been strengthened since my time here even back home. I've definitely gotten stronger while I've been here, but, unfortunately, it's my time to leave.
"It's been an honor staying here these past two years, Gaara. I've deeply enjoyed my time here. I hope our two villages get even closer." I said, while bowing to Gaara. He smiled, "Likewise, friend. I wish you a safe journey back. Good Luck, Kin." I nodded and left the room. Temari followed me out. I gave her a hug and a kiss, then I left the village.
I made it about 2 miles away from the Sand village before I decided I had gone far enough. I made a one-handed ram seal and used my teleportation jutsu. Since I've had this technique, I've not given it a name. This fact still hasn't changed. The strength of this technique is life-changing to say the least. In a single moment, I went 2 miles from the Sand village to the entrance of the Leaf village. The guards were startled for a moment before I showed them my identification. Before anything else, I reported to Lady Tsunade for the completion of my diplomatic mission.
That took about 2 hours to finish my report. I got quite the payment for it. About as much as a higher end Anbu mission. Only problem is it took me two years to get that, but my anbu missions take a week or two to finish. It's a little upsetting compared to what I'm used to getting, but I can't complain. I didn't have to upkeep any gear, not like I do that anyways. All the peacefulness I've been around has been unsettling to say the least, if not downright irritating occasionally. Even though I enjoyed every moment, I still missed the rush and thrill of Anbu life. So, I asked Tsunade for a S-rank or higher mission. She didn't disappoint me either.
"I've been saving this one for one of the stronger members of the Anbu corp. SS-rank. It's an assassination mission and your target is one of the Akatsuki. Specifically, the member known as Zetsu. He's been spotted in the Land of Snow near a certain place, which we assume is an Akatsuki hideout. Gear up. You leave in an hour." Tsunade said, with dead seriousness on her face.
I smile and nod, "Thank you, Lady Tsunade." I turn and leave. I take the long way around and walk home, since it's not too far from the tower with my casual speed. I made it home and changed into my anbu gear from my normal casual wear. I throw a cloak over my anbu gear and head to Ichiraku's. I ordered and destroyed a bowl of ramen. I talked with Teuchi and Ayame for a few minutes before I wished them well and headed out. I stopped by Anko's place and asked for Gin.
Gin came out, and I sat him down on the stairs. "Son. I want you to have this. It'll benefit you greatly in the future. I want you to have this just in case something happens." I told him as I handed him the scroll for the teleportation technique. "Keep it safe and show no one. You'll be strong, maybe even stronger than me. Be safe, Gin. I gotta go now." I said as I ruffled his hair. He looked confused and wanted to ask many questions, but he held back. I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to do. I smiled and shushinned to the main gate.
O=O=O
It took me about a week to get to the Land of Snow. I didn't move too fast. I wanted to savor the feeling of being on a mission. I arrived in the area near where he was spotted last. I surveyed the area for a while trying to find any signs of where he could hide or any hideouts in general. After a few hours, I came across a cave that didn't look quite right to me. I went in to investigate. I found a Gedo statue about half a mile in the system. I don't know exactly why they would put a statue here, but I suppose it is relatively close to Iwa. So, they could have gotten the four tails with this statue. I should get back and send a messenger bird back to the Leaf after nightfall.
The way out of the cave was pretty lax all things considered until I got to the mouth of the cave. Either unluckily or luckily, I came face-to-face with Zetsu himself. Wasting no time, I dash towards him and unleash a flurry of punches and kicks to try and distract him. He wasn't exactly surprised by this and dodged or blocked them. I threw some kunai at him. He melted into the ground, and I couldn't detect his presence. I unsheathed my Executioner's Blade and got into my stance. I barely sensed him and avoided a kunai to my jugular. I used the momentum to try and cut him with a reverse monk's robe cut. His body bent unnaturally to avoid it, and he flipped away. I took that time to activate the hidden mist technique to conceal my presence and hopefully get the jump on him. I formed three ice senbon and tossed them at him. He deflected them and rushed right towards me. I had to avoid three quick slashes, but I couldn't avoid the fourth one. So, I had to block it with my blade. As I did that, he created a clone that got a clean slash in on my right side. It was fairly deep, but I could handle it. I kicked the clone away and managed to push Zetsu back. I shot a water dragon at him, and he blocked it with an earth wall. I launched a lightning dragon at his wall. He ran out from behind it and sent a massive Gale Palm towards me. I cycled through three seals and launched the Plasma funnel towards him. They managed to cancel each other out, but he didn't look unfazed. I used that moment to cycle through four seals, while activating my sharingan. I activated my Electric strike armor and prepared to try and end this in one hit. He looked prepared to do the same. I pushed as much chakra into it as I could handle. Lightning was flowing off of me, destroying sections of the cave. As a drop of water landed on the floor of the cave, I launched towards him, as he did the same to me. I swung the executioner's blade towards him, but his path of the kunai was much faster than my own path of attack. I formed a seal with my right hand and teleported behind him. He wasn't expecting it as my blade split him horizontally. As my blade got to the black part of his body, it split off of the body. The thing left behind was a disfigured white monstrosity. The black zetsu jumped and took control of the top part of the body. He regenerated the bottom half of it while in midair and used the bottom half of the white zetsu as a stabilizer to kick my jaw and send me flying through the wall of the cave and out into the snowy land. I used the blade to slow me down, so I only broke through a few trees and got away with a few broken ribs. As soon as I stopped, he was back on top of me. I dodged his first punch by dropping down to the ground. I planted both feet into his stomach and teleported above him. I spun and axe-kicked him back down to a tree stump that grazed his side. We were on equal terms now. Eye for an eye so they say. He flipped over and launched a fireball at me. I surrounded myself with a layer of ice that barely managed to protect me from the fireball. I broke the rest of the ice off and went to slam my fist into his prone body. He rolled out of the way and spun towards me. He locked my arm with his leg and drug me to the ground. He pulled out a kunai and tried to piece my throat right in the middle. I used my other hand to block the kunai and prepared a water dragon. I shot it at him point blank while forming a ram seal with my other hand to change it to ice. He got launched towards a tree and broke at least two ribs judging from the sound on impact, not that it matters with his regen, but it should help me get the upper hand. I pulled the kunai out and tossed it at him. He narrowly avoided serious injury and got a cut on the right side of his face. I threw a punch in seemingly empty space, but I teleported right in front of him. My haymaker got him good. He tried to hit me with a spinning backfist to deal even more damage to me, but I teleported to my blade and started to swing it at a tree. I teleported above him and got a good view of his eyes widening and mouth gaping open as my blade turned the middle of his body into mush. The two sides flopped to their respective directions. I used a mediocre fireball to ignite and cremate the corpse except for one half of the head and the lower half of the body remaining inside of the cave. I walked about a mile east of the cave and settled down for the night, administering aid and sending off the messenger bird.
O=O=O
I waited about a week before a squad was sent in to investigate the cave and relieve me of my guard duty. My wounds had pretty much healed at that point, and I was happy enough to leave and get out of there. I teleported to Lady Tsunade's office and kneeled before her. I gave her my report and verified the death of Zetsu. I got paid extremely well for this mission. I think that Black Zetsu was way stronger than Pein the last time we fought. Of course, I didn't have to deal with all 6 of the Pein dolls, but the one I fought still wasn't that powerful. On top of that information and the mission pay, I also got pay from the bingo book side of things. It wasn't a small amount either.
A day or two later, the bingo book was updated. My profile had been out of date for a while, but it seems that they finally got a hold of my new information, somehow.
Name: Kin Kaze
Title: The Shadow Demon
Affiliation: Hidden Leaf
Rank: SS-rank ninja
Reward: 10,000,000 yen
Description: This target is extremely dangerous. It's best to avoid him if possible. He's extremely fast, able to clear a 100 meters in a moment or vanish completely. He's a water specialist of unfathomable expertise. He also has a great handle of lightning techniques and wields the legendary Executioner's Blade.
Issued by: The Hidden Cloud, The Hidden Mist, and The Hidden Stone.
The description finally gave me an idea of what to call my teleportation technique. It's so simple that I didn't even notice it before. The technique should be called the Vanishing Steps technique. I'm getting quite famous in those three villages, however. It's enough to make someone like me happy, but this should clear most riff raff from challenging me. So, I'll only get to fight the powerhouses now. I'm coming for the rest of your organization Pein. Get ready 'cause it'll be your turn soon enough.
O=O=O
It's been too long since everyone that was at the academy has gotten together. Luckily for us all, Kakashi set up this get-together when I picked up Gin to go to the Hidden Sand together. It'll be nice to see everyone and meet them all. As promised from when we talked, he brought a lot of booze and a lot of food. It was great to see everyone. The only exception was Sakura since I could hear her. Time has really flown by. Everyone has grown older and gotten married or had kids. The new generation will be standing in our place not too long from now. Gin is already 8. I'm only 28. In 20 years, he'll be standing where I am, and I hope I'm still alive to see that.
I laugh out loud and shake my head. The drinks must be getting to me. I headed over to our old friend group and had a great time. Not long after I walked over there, it was time for karaoke. We all sang our favorite songs, but I hadn't heard my favorite song in so long. I had a vague city pop beat on and sang Plastic Love for the first time in 11 years. It's really been that long since I've come to this world of strength, regret, happiness, and love. I'm not sure if it was the drinking and Plastic Love, but it reminded me of my years with Anko and of the time I spent with my grandfather. I couldn't hold back my tears as I sang from the heart. Everyone around must've drank too much as well. After my turn, Kakashi turned on the slow music, and all the couples paired up and just stood there in each other's embrace. I suddenly found myself feeling quite empty and alone. I walked over to where Kakashi was and sat down. We were there for a while before I finally decided to consult with him about my troubles. "Kakashi-sensei. Have you ever had your heart broken by someone you care about?" I asked, staring nowhere in particularly. He packs away his book before he takes a deep breath and answers, "I've felt heart break several times, Kin. I'm not quite sure how to handle it, if that's what you want to ask me. All I know is, at the very least, your sensei, teammates, and son care about you. Besides, there's someone for everyone. You'll find them eventually, if you haven't already." He finishes with a twinkle in his eye. I nod and get up. I pat him on the shoulder, "Thanks, Kakashi-sensei. I appreciate it."
O=O=O
I left after he gave me that speech and just wandered around the town for a little bit. I found myself in front of Ichiraku. I ducked in there for a second to see if Ayame was in. She wasn't, but Teuchi pointed me to their place. I got there and knocked on the door. Ayame opened it in some baggy pjs and looked relieved to find me at the door. "Hey. Wanna come over for the night?" I asked her, hoping to get some relief from my sorrows. She smiled and nodded. I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her into a hug. I let her lock the door to the house and leave a note for her dad. After she did that, I used Vanishing Steps to go home with Ayame, using my water chakra to soothe her as best I could. She wasn't too affected by it, just some extremely slight motion sickness. I wasn't in the mood for anything. I really just wanted to cuddle with her.
We made it to the bedroom, and I got into my pjs. I laid down next to her and just snuggled up to her. It's been a while, since I last really did this with anyone just for the pure sake of wanting to be close to that person. I think I wanna marry her and Temari. They made me happy when I was at my lowest. I'll never forget that because I owe them everything just due to that.
She didn't try to convince me to go any further than cuddling that night. I don't exactly know if she could feel what was in my heart or if she was happy with being close to me no matter what. Either way, it was appreciated. We were up for a while just talking. "Hey, Ayame. What would you say if I told you that I wanted to marry you?" I asked her a little later. She didn't answer at all. "You fall asleep?" No answer. I just smiled and scooted closer.
O=O=O
I woke up very satisfied and feeling a lot better than I had the day before. Ayame being with me was exactly what I needed. I stayed next to her for a little bit, then I went to the kitchen to make her some breakfast. I made rice, scrambled eggs, miso soup, and grilled fish. I felt very traditional this morning for whatever reason. Ayame walked in right as I was finishing up. She looked at my apron that I had on and laughed. I pouted a little bit, "Don't laugh jeez. It was the only one I could find." I say this as I set the food on the table and take off my pink apron with a heart on it that says Mom. We sit down and start eating while casually chatting. I did a pretty great job this time around. My cooking isn't as good as my killing, but, with how good I am at killing, that would be near impossible. I got serious for a little bit because something was bugging me. I never asked Ayame how she felt about the CRA and what not alone. I just asked her about it with Temari, so I guess I was feeling guilty about it.
"Hey, Ayame. How do you feel about CRA, personally? I never asked you alone. I didn't want you to feel like you had to agree just cause it was the only way to have me." I said staring aimlessly into my miso soup. She looks up and just shrugs, "I don't mind it. It makes it easier on me, socially. I don't have to go out and find a group of female friends. I can just get to know whoever you bring, as long as I like them. I'd also like a little bit of notice too, so I can prepare and make it better than with Temari." I look up at her and nod, "I got it. I'll be sure to let you know. I was feeling guilty about not letting you know, so I just wanted to talk about it with you." She replies with, "Well, you shouldn't. Now hurry up and eat. I want to have some fun before I have to go work all day." As soon as she finished, I started devouring the meal.
O=O=O
The next day
"Why did you call us in here, Lady Tsunade?" I asked her while looking at a group consisting of Sasuke, Naruto, Kakashi, Team 10, and I. She looks at us all individually, "We have reason to believe that a pair of Akatsuki members are headed this way. I want all of you to meet them before they get here and eliminate them. We need to make sure the village is safe, so that's why we're sending you 8 out there. Good luck and don't die. You leave in a day. You're dismissed."
"Yes, Lady Tsunade!" was heard from 8 enthusiastic voices.
O=O=O
That's all for this chapter. I've been putting this off for a few days, but I decided that I drank an energy drink at like 9. So, I went ahead and finished it. Sorry for the cliffhanger, but it's the Kakuzu and Hidan fight in the next chapter. That's all for this one. Stay safe and have a great day. Enjoy and stay beautiful, MoistyFam.
PS: Sorry for all the block text. I didn't wanna separate it a lot since it was a lot of the same scenario.
