In Hot Water and Email Session 3

Manji Clan Village, Yamanashi Prefecture,Japan…

After the last email session, Kunimitsu ordered some of her ninja to locate and kidnap the following emailers who decided to send her expletive messages instead of thoughtful questions about the new Manji leader. The six culprits were all sent to the underground gallows where they were about to be dripped in a pool of hot water. It was Kunimitsu's way of waterboarding. She decided to record the event by way of a live stream and send it to the Fighting Magazine website so the whole world will know that you do not mess with the Fox ninja!

Kunimitsu (In front of the camera.): "Attention for all of those who are watching! This is what happens when you think my heart will be swayed by naughty boys! Just witness the agony these six men will experience as I have their bodies boiling in hot water! Staring right now!" (Snaps her finger.)

One of her kunoichi pressed the button from behind Kunimitsu as all six males dropped into the water. They stayed in for 3 seconds before getting pulled up by their ropes as they screamed in pain. Kunimitsu command her subordinates to raise the temperature gradually and dropped the boys in the water at least 5 more times before she talked to the guys as they begged for mercy.

Kunimitsu: "Now you know the terror of the Manji! If you beg for your lives, I will release you, but you better not come back to my inbox again! Or I will kill you all personally myself! Are we clear!?"

Guy 1: "I'm sorry! I won't do it again!"

Guy 2: "It hurts so much!"

Guy 3: "Mommy!"

Kunimitsu: "I think you all get the point! Switch the pool and let them cool off and get them out of my sight!"

Kunoichi: "Yes my lady!"

Surprisingly, Raven appeared near the gallows entrance as Kunimitsu walked out of the darkness while looking to her left. Raven leaned on the tree adjacent to the entrance as he spoke with his wife. He didn't seem too pleased with his wife's recent action.

Raven: "Since when did the Manji ever construct an underground torture chamber?"

Kunimitsu: "It used to be a cave to store our treasure, but I've converted it into a gallow platform for punishable crimes. I don't see a problem with it?"

Raven: "Punishment is one thing, but torture? Those men could sue you for your actions just now. I'm giving you fair warning here."

Kunimitsu: "Ha! Sue me? You forget the Manji have the proficiency to hack into computers and frame stories! Those punks can try all they want! I will always be one step ahead of them!"

Raven: "I hope you don't make this into a habit. Harming people just because they make bad statements about you. This place (the village) is growing on me. The people are very kind once you get to know them. They don't want a repeat of the events of 35 years ago. The great fire. The fire that marred your face."

Kunimitsu: "Enough! This is for those who wish the Manji harm and speak ill of us! It will reassure security and peace here! I won't have a repeat of that tragic incident! Not while I'm still alive!" (Storms off.)

Raven (Sighs.): "That woman…I guess I'll have to get the baby."

Sometime later, Kunimitsu's mansion…

Kunimitsu went inside her mansion so she could first hear the monthly report about the village's income balance. Everything was smooth, except for the rising gasoline price cost, all because Kunimitsu forced some of her ninja to capture the perverted emailers. She enacted a month long policy for limited access to gasoline purchases for all villagers. However those who travel overseas could continue to infiltrate flights in disguise or hide under luggage for example. With governing out the way, now it was time to see the reactions of her recent broadcasting punishment.

Kunimitsu (On her computer.): "I want to make sure my message gets across for everyone! I should have some responses by now. Here we are!"

Guest #1: "Holy sh*t! Are they still alive? How could you Kunimitsu?"

Kunimitsu: "It's extreme yes! But it gets the message across!"

Guest #2: "Man those guys are straight ugly! They look worse than they did before the pool dipping. I wonder what got you so mad at them?"

Kuinimitsu: "They were sending bad messages to me, so I punished them myself!"

Guest #3: "Miss Kunimitsu, I will never ever say anything against you! That is a promise!"

Kunimitsu: "That's the response I want to see. Arigato."

Guest #4: "The Manji sure do have strange punishments, but at least they did not kill them."

Kunimitsu: "I showed them mercy."

Guest #5: "What happened with the Manji? I thought they were kind heartened ninjas? This is too much!"

Kunimitsu: "We are kind, but if you cross us, we will take matters into our own hands!"

Guest #6: "Did they steal treasure to be punished like this?"

Kunimitsu: "No. They made insults and this is my reminder to those who dare speak of me!"

Guest #7: "Is this your worst punishment?"

Kunimitsu: "Not even close!"

Guest #8: "So…are you going to read all emails or just quit?"

Kunimitsu: "I will continue reading emails even if they are negative to me or the Manji!"

Guest #9: "Stop the horror! Someone needs to arrest the Manji for this torture!"

Kunimitsu: "Oh quit being a baby!"

Guest: #10: "Man, I don't wanna make the fox ninja angry after this! Holy crap!"

Kunimitsu: "Ha! You better not cross me boy!"

Guest #11: "On a side note. How is your husband?"

Kunimitsu: "He's doing fine."

Guest #12: "Are you gonna do future streams of punishments by your clan for now on?"

Kunimitsu: "Whenever I'm in the mood. That is exactly what will happen."

Guest #13: "I don't believe the Manji would spare their enemies like this. This seems fake."

Kunimitsu: "It's not fake b!tch! And we are human, but our way of doing things like this will turn stomachs. So I hope you are afraid! Be very afraid!"

Guest #14: "Do my eyes deceive me? Or are those men getting boiled in steamy water!"

Kunimitsu: "Get some glasses then, because it's real!"

Guest #15: "It's official. The Manji are scarier than the Zaibatsu!"

Kunimitsu: "If you say so."

Guest #16: "Those men are gonna be scarred for life. Women are scary."

Kunimitsu: "We sure are!" (Evil laugh.)

Guest: #17: "Are you worried about getting sued by these guys for something like this. I hope the Manji have deep pockets."

Kunimitsu: "Not only do I have pockets, we have treasure to sell, and hackers to shut down any attempt of claims about our punishment methods. Those fools better think twice before messing with me!"

Guest #18: "If only you could do this type of punishment to Kazuya or Heihachi. Then I will be amazed."

Kunimitsu: "That will be a challenge in and of itself. The Mishimas are not easy to sneak attack or fight head on. Hell, I rather not be on the receiving end of their subjugation."

Guest #19: "The guy that married you must be a serious cuck to allow other men getting boiled alive. I feel bad for guys like him."

Kunimitsu: "You don't know my husband so shut the f*ck up or you will suffer the same fate!"

Guest #20: "Do you have a special name for this type of punishment?"

Kunimitsu: "We call it Mizuzeme."

Guest #21: "Earlier you said this isn't your worst method of punishment. So if you had nuclear warheads, would you bomb your adversaries into oblivion?"

Kunimitsu: "I don't have warheads, but if I could get away with it then of course I would kill them that way. Then again, the fun of catching those scum myself would be gone. Oh well."

Guest #22: The Manji are infidels who need to be wiped off the mat for this despicable act! Off with Kunimitsu's head!"

Kunimitsu: "You must want a death wish!" (Evil grin.)

Guest: 23: "How embarrassing for those guys. I couldn't go back home knowing this video is online."

Kunimitsu: "Then don't come to my email talking ill of me! That is all I ask for."

Guest #24: "Are you getting those guys medical assistance at all?"

Kunimitsu: "I did, but next time I won't be so nice!"

Door knock…

Kunimitsu: "Who is there?"

Kunoichi: "Master! There is a visitor for you! It's a representative of the Zaibatsu."

Kunimitsu: "Nani?"

Kunoichi: "What should I say?"

Kunimitsu: "Tell our guest I will arrive downstairs in two minutes."

Kunoichi: "Yes my lady!"

Two minutes later…

Kunimitsu arrived downstairs into her living room to meet a very unexpected visitor and he wasn't human. The head of the Manji could only scratch her head as she saw a large bear standing up and bowing in front of her presence. Awkward silence lasted for a full minute and Kunimitsu finally asked the bear a question.

Kunimitsu: "This has to be a joke. Are you really under the Zaibatsu? Or are you just pretending to be some experiment?"

Kuma (growl): "I am a Zaibatsu member! I'm here to invite you to the tournament as our employer."

Kunimitsu (Not understanding.): "Huh?"

Kuma (growls louder.): "I'm here to invite you to the tournament! It's a gesture from my master! C'mon!"

Kunimitsu (Shaking her head.): "Ugh! This is stupid! Will someone get a translator here?!"

Subordinate: "Yes my lady!"

Kuma (Pouts.): "A translator? Grrrrr….."

5 minutes later…

An elder villager who could communicate with various animals came inside the living room and sat in between Kuma and Kunimitsu. He was asked the question by Kuma and the man relayed it to Kunimitsu. Kunimitsu did not think twice and declined the offer. She felt it was 'too' convenient.

Kunimitsu: "I have to decline. The Manji have never been vassals to a conglomerate. Especially backstabbers like the Zaibatsu. Send Heihachi my regards anyway."

Kuma (Disappointed.): "Well. I'd figured you'd say no, but we really could use the security. Many soldiers have yet to return because Jin is no longer the leader so we need special teams like yours to fill the void. But you said no?"

Kunimitsu (after hearing the translation.): "I meant what I said."

Kuma: "Er…what if I told you that the Zaibatsu discovered a sighting of Yoshimitsu?"

Kunimitsu (Mad.): "Yoshimitsu?! No! He's still lives! I took his life myself! You lie!"

Kuma (Shrugging): "If you reconsider helping us. Then the Zaibatsu can help find Yoshimitsu for you. I'm sure he wants the Manji clan leadership back right?"

Kunimitsu (Furious.): "I don't believe this! Just get out bear! I need to have a council about this news right away! Call all of the council members here! This cannot wait!"

Everyone, except Kuma: "Yes Lady!"

Kuma (Now shakes his head.): "Now this sucks."

Subordinate: "Let's go furball!"

Kuma was swiftly kicked out of the Manji village by Kunimitsu's ninjas. This day turned very sour after this news. Heihachi had some nerve contacting Kunimitsu about working under him, and adding insult to injury, provoking her to find Yoshimitsu. It could very well be a lie to infiltrate the village and steal everything the clan worked hard to keep throughout the centuries. Either way Kunimitsu needed the voices of her peers for clarity on this startling matter.
