Chakra Burst Arc: Break
Dust flies into the air while shinobi land around Kiao. The newly reborn Kiao hasn't fully adjusted to his newly acquired level of power and knowledge. Thus when the ninja landed in front of him, all he could do was jump in surprise.
"Ah, shit." Kiao screams.
"Sir, we ask that you come with us to answer some questions." A shinobi says as he walks toward Kiao.
"Are you three shinobi?" Kiao says after noticing the straw hats and kunai pouches.
"And if we are? Are you going to attempt to fight by yourself?" says one of the jonin to the right of the shinobi initially speaking.
"I have a goal, and this is the first step." Kiao moves in a blur of speed towards the shinobi that first started talking.
The shinobi were surprised by the speed of Kiao blitzing at them. Moving at body flicker speeds in such close proximity allowed Kiao to grab the head of one of the shinobi and slam it into a tree. The resulting strike shattered the shinobi's skull and the tree itself.
Sliding across the forest floor after his devastating attack, Kiao stares into the clearing where the shinobi once were. The remaining two shinobi had already lep away into the trees to get cover. One was preparing a note to be sent back to the village via messenger hawk. While the other stuck close to his partner ensuring the message was sent. The shinobi started throwing exploding tags at Kiao. Who quickly moves out of the way.
Kiao quickly does a few hand signs for an Earth Release jutsu, then slam his hands onto the ground.
'Earth Release: Heavenly Pillars'
About ten rock pillars shoot out of the ground in a circle around Kiao. Kiao hops on one of the many pillars and rides them into the sky. Reaching the top of the launch, Kiao jumps off the pillar he rode on hard enough to launch him higher into the air. This jutsu of Kiao's allows the shinobi to send their message to the village quickly, but once the hawk flies off through the trees, Kiao sees where the shinobi are and sends the barrage of pillars onto them.
For the shinobi, all they knew was some noise that happened where they last saw Kiao, but a few seconds later, death rained upon them. Pillars ranging from 1 meter to over 6 hit the ground at terminal velocity. The tree the two shinobi were using was completely destroyed after one of the pillars slam into the tree. The shattered bark shoots off into one of the shinobi's eyes and legs while the other shinobi gets most of the shards into his arms and bottom torso.
Falling with the pillars, Kiao weaves around the pillars until he lands on the ground. By the time he lands, about 90% of the pillars have landed and destroyed a large part of the forest.
"MMM," a voice says under a tree.
Kiao jumps over the tree breaking off a branch mid-flight and then landing into a stance one would take while holding a spear. When Kiao looks toward the voice that made the noise, he sees one of the ninjas with their left leg crushed and shattered from a tree husk that fell on him. Not to mention that the shinobi's eyes bleed from shards of wood.
"Shinobi, tell me. In which direction should I go to find your village?" Kiao asks after squatting in front of the downed shinobi.
"Fuck you." the shinobi spits in the general direction of Kiao. Most miss Kiao, but some land on his cheek.
"Shinobi, I don't wish to keep you alive. I planned to smash your head into a paste, but I have decided to try peace."
The shinobi bristled.
"You- YOU MOTHERFUCKER. You DARE tell me that we should be trying a more peaceful solution. YOU ARE THE REASON FOR THIS."
Kiao looks around at the devastation that was wrought from that jutsu. Kiao then notices the other shinobi finishing a jutsu. Kiao's eyes widen.
"FUCK YOU." the shinobi not under the tree says.
'Fire Release: Combustion(Nenshō)'
The shinobi fires a small stream of dust from his mouth; suddenly, the air explodes with fire and races towards Kiao and the downed shinobi. Kiao is blown away and receives damage to his right leg, and the tips of his hair are burnt.
The final shinobi rushes in and meets Kiao with a flying knee. Kicking off of Kiao, the shinobi tries to take out Kiao's legs aiming towards the right thigh. Also tossing kunai at Kiao every so often.
"You will die today; and, my comrades' will be avenged."
"Then I must warn you that your wish won't come true."
The chunin and Kiao fight using the fallen pillars as cover to set traps and perform jutsu quickly. However, as the fight slowly moves on, after 10 minutes, the chunin notices something. Kiao's strength is next level. He can't simply outpower Kiao. Outspeeding him is out of the question. The shinobi's jutsu and experience are the only things that are keeping him alive
Landing a kick combo on Kiao. Kiao then jumps back to gain space before quickly closing the distance.
The shinobi tries to make space between them, but as he jumps back, Kiao is next to him with a sweeping kick to the liver, leaving the shinobi rolling on the ground.
'Sorry, Naidu. Kiro. I fucked up.' The last shinobi thinks before Kiao delivers a devastating three-piece combo. A punch to the center of the chest, a quick jab to the liver, then a dramatic uppercut to the shinobi's chin.
The shinobi flies into a pillar that breaks due to the force from the uppercut.
Kiao's bloody mouth, burned leg, and his bloodied body showed something to the beaten shinobi.
"You are stronger and faster, but you can't fight can you? You fight like a rookie with a promising future. I could've bet you, yet…" the shinobi states before Kiao cuts him off.
"I've beaten you. There's nothing more to understand or analyze. I am better. I'm faster and naturally stronger. I'm not going to pretend like your skill and knowledge weren't hard to combat. Regardless, I need the location of your village."
"No."
"Geez, you answered that quick. Nevertheless, I don't care if you want to or not. I'm getting that information."
'Yes?'
"Let me take control for a bit. I'll get the information out."
'Great. You again. I have this under control.'
"No, you wouldn't do what is needed to gather information. I told you how to do that jutsu."
'I never asked you. You just took control. But you raise a good point. Get the information.'
To the shinobi, Kiao looked at him with a neutral face, but in a second, a sly grin appeared as he stared at him.
"Time to gather information. Tell me the information I want to know if you want to speed up."
Kiao walked towards the downed shinobi and threw two kunai he picked up off the ground into the shinobi's hands. The force behind the kunai forced his hands to get stuck into the ground with the kunai buried up to the hilt in his hands.
"AHHHH. Fuck you."
"Fuck me? Nahhh. But I'll be fucking with you. So time to start."
Kiao pulls a branch out of the rubble with leaves on them. Plucking on a leaf of the branch. Kiao starts the strip the shinobi until he was bare to the world.
"So, where's your village." Kiao takes the leaf and slowly drags it up and down his skin. Tickling the shinobi but also irritating the skin of the shinobi.
After thirty minutes of this, the shinobi's skin is completely red on his chest, where Kiao has been rubbing the leaf. Kiao then just stops and stretches.
"Time to take things up to the next level. I'll give you one last chance. This will be the most painful experience in your life. Where is your village?"
"Like I'll tell you."
"Welp, you have done this to yourself."
Kiao then channels chakra to his hands and pushes the shards of leaf into the skin of the shinobi, forcing them to wiggle around.
"Did you know that some species of trees have leaves that have microscopic barbs in them? I wonder if it helps spread the seeds of the tree. Nevertheless, these barbs are great at latching on to the skin and hair. Now, the barbs can only irate the skin, but with a little chakra and a bunch of leaves… Oh, the possibilities. I wonder if the barbs latching on to you will cause any, um, complications. Let's see, shall we?
'Do we need to do this?'
"Yeah, he'll give the information up with enough pain."
"What is going on?"
'Who are you?'
"Who the fuck are you?"
"Devo. I've been watching for a bit, but I have a question. Why don't you use a genjutsu on him? Make the genjutsu let him escape and forget our presence or just mask it. Then follow him as he runs to the village."
…
"Are you telling me not one of you thought of that?"
"This is much more fun."
'If you're having fun, I'm taking back control. Devo? Tell me how to do and perform a genjutsu.'
"The process will be much more effective if I just do it."
'No, I'll handle it from here. I'm taking back control.'
Kiao's slightly smiling face slowly changes back to the plain face he had when fighting.
Kiao then does some hand signs and actives the genjutsu.
'Are you sure this will work?'
"It will work. All you need to do is push a thin stream into the subject's brain. The jutsu will handle the rest. When the time is right, I'll ask questions"
"How would you-"
"You'll see."
After a few hours of using the jutsu, the shinobi finally cracked.
"FINE! I give up; stop it, please. Just kill me."
"Then tell me where your village is, and I'll allow you to rest."
The shinobi looked at Kiao with so much anger, but at the same time with so much exhaustion.
"Sigh, the village is about 134 degrees to the right in front of you. Head in that direction. You'll get there. Now end me."
"As you wish. Thank you." Stabbing the shinobi in the heart, the shinobi took his last breath and finally rested. Peace at last.
After making a grave for the shinobi and looting them before placing them into the grave, the voice spoke again.
"Why bury them and also loot them? So much work. You could've just taken their shit and burnt their corpses. Not only would you draw shinobi away from the village, but if you set a trap killed a lot without trying."
Fixing the new vest and pants that he was able to loot and placing the kunai and scrolls into two pouches on the side of his thighs, Kiao finally spoke.
"Shinobi are humans despite the hell they have created. I exist only to see my dream actuated just like the shinobi. However, my dream and conviction are much stronger than the shinobi. There will be no more shinobi nations. No more daimyo. My dream is to become the shogun of this land. Once my nation has been created the shinobi system will fail and wither away."
"So Dramatic. Please do it again. I need to have this written down. To become a shotgun? Or was it shotput?"
"Please, shut up."
Kiao then turns towards the village based on the shinobi's words, but a thought went through his mind before he left.
'Why did the shinobi smell like … cum when I killed him?'
"...The genjutsu makes the subject extremely horny. The jutsu then associates answering your questions with something sexually gratifying. He was a shinobi till the end because the jutsu would have just increased in strength until… well he answered all your questions. Death is one of the ways to release the jutsu. Another is to … release a load before the jutsu forces him to … ejaculate."
'…'
"WHAT THE FUCK?"
A Day later, in Konoha
"Hokage-sama, Shisui Uchiha is here to see you." Minato's secretary said.
Putting down the paper he was reading, he told Shisui to enter.
"Hokage-sama, thank you for having me, and thanks for what you have done for the Uchiha." sitting down in front of Minato, he notices the bags underneath the Hokage's eyes. However, chooses not to say anything
"The Yellow Flash of Konoha and the Crimson Flash. That's what they called us after the war. I thought at one point they called you Shisui Uchiha of the Body Flicker or something like that. The two tide-turning moments in the war were done by us. Killing so many IWA-Nin. So many within a minute. With you attacking one of their most protective checkpoints further in Earth Country, IWA was on the back foot permanently. So many killed to end a war."
"Minato, are you doing okay? Like, You really should take a break."
Minato takes a sip of a cup of coffee.
"I can't take a break. Maybe when my son is older and strong enough to deal with the world by himself, but not yet. I can't lose anyone else. This village needs a leader."
"Yeah, but how do you expect to lead if you can't take care of yourself? Kushina-"
"DON'T YOU SAY HER NAME!"
The mellow room filled with tension quickly. Shusui wasn't sure what to say, but he had to be a friend anyways.
"Minato, you know that she-"
"SO, have you started preparing the curriculum you want to revamp with the Council."
'So you're just going to try your hardest not to listen. Fine, I'll play, but only for now.'
"Yeah, I've read over the curriculum for shinobi, but it seems a little short and history-centric. Don't get me wrong, history is important, but we are creating shinobi, not scholars. Our shinobi should be more equipt to deal with ninja than ninja scholars or historians. A complete overhaul of the Academy should be done. Update the areas needing updating. Develop the areas that need to be developed."
"I was thinking the same thing. Are you available for a meeting with Shikaku, Inoichi, Hana, and the Board of Education in three days?"
"Three days? That's Monday, right? Yeah, I'll be free."
"Great. We'll reconvene Monday at dawn."
"Yeah, I got ya. See you Monday."
As Shisui stands up and walks out the door. He says one final thing before leaving.
"Minato, understand that you are human. You need rest and time to heal."
Before Minato could respond, the door was shut. Minato leans back in the chair; staring up at the ceiling.
'Take some time huh? If I had the time to rest, to heal, don't you think I would have? I can't rest until everything I'm building is complete. If I wanted to rest, I would have done it with Kushina. I would've-'
Slapping his face hard enough to leave a red welt.
"Focus. You need to create seals around the village and create better jutsu. There's no time to waste."
On that note, Minato Namakaze, the Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash, disappeared in a flash to complete another objective. Forgetting for the fourth time today to summon a toad to summon Jiraya. However, somewhere else in the village an old man talks to shadows.
Somewhere in Konoha
"Report."
"The Fourth Hokage has been hard at work developing jutsu, seals, and plans for the village. That is all that is new."
Danzo Shimura stands up from a chair in his dining room to stir the broth he is making. His right arm, unusable due to the war and experiments done by Orochimaru, forced him to use his left for all parts of his life to keep looking weak.
The root agent waits patiently for her dismissal.
"Hirzuen was a great friend. He made a sacrifice that helped the Leaf more than he could as Hokage. With his death and the death of Kushina Uzumaki, the Fourth Hokage has drawn himself into his work. His mastery of the art of funijutsu and understanding of chakra will create a new generation of ninjas that might rival the Sannin. And I didn't need to lift a finger. Wonderful. Count observation. I believe in time Konoha will once again be at the top. Dismissed."
The root agent leaves and returns to her post.
"Fu, gather a team. Gather information on the villages. What do they know about the explosion of chakra? How much do they know about the Nine-Tails Attack? Report back within two months, with weekly updates."
"Directed to Hokage-sama?"
"No, only the weekly reports to me. When you return with the final report, the Hokage will then be updated."
"Understood."
Fu left with a body flicker, allowing Danzo to taste the broth for his pork.
"Needs… ginger and Sage. Maybe some soy sauce might help? Dark? Light?"
A/N: It took me forever to write this. I got a new job, and I started ANOTHER project called CoNF. Check it out if you're interested. It's on FFN under CoNF or AO3 under Collaberation_Of_Naruto_Fanfiction.
Anyway, every chapter won't be split between Konoha and Kiao. For the next few chapters, it'll be most Kiao. It'll probably be another three-ish months until the next chapter. Anyway, thanks for reading. Please review and let me know what you would love to see more.
Peace, Love, and Hairgrease.
