Hello fellow readers, just that I like to point on a very important statement; as many of you are aware about the coronavirus, I urge you all to please remain safe; stay clean by washing your hands, keep distance away from people who maybe infect, or just sick with a cold or flu, and disinfecting anything that may contain germs and bacteria, whether you're at work or at home. I pray the virus will stop spreading and die out before summer reaches, never have I ever imagine dealing with this type of crisis that causes actual deaths in certain places (worst New Years ever!). So please stay safe, and also enjoy this update.
Amynila; He sure is, also I'm touched by your concern, and same with you to stay safe from the virus.
ju-hkjv; Thank you for your review and stay safe from the virus my friend.
…13 hours ago…
Jiraya grabbed the handle to open, he grunted when he suddenly felt something sharp, he almost thought it was a splinter but hurts like a broken glass. He looked at his hand and discovered… three thorns, from a plant,
"What the hell?!" he replied, and then his vision became blurry all the sudden, and then this lower body became numb as he fell on his knees. From that certain moment, he noticed the door is morphing into a strange shape, a figure merging out of it, and by then the figure revealed to be… Kurenai, as she used one of her genjutsu on Jiraya to fall right into her trap,
"K… Kurenai, what are yo-" Jiraya tried to speak but then his upper body now becomes numb as he soon fell forward and hit the ground.
Jiraya can barely move his body, he completely defenseless and he is slowly losing consciousness, he looked up at Kurenai, as he soon noticed how pale her eyes are like the people here,
"They got her… and she got me… damn it," he thought right before he finally blacked out.
…
While jumping through the forest, Kotetsu and Izumo, under Akalra's control, carries the conscious Jiraya miles away from the village with Kurenai following them, by the time they reached the area,
"This should be far enough," Kurenai said to them as they landed to the ground near the downhill,
"You can toss the body down there," she pointed down at the bushes, then Kotetsu and Izumo soon threw Jiraya's body down the hill, he rolled down and then crashed right into the bushes, nearly out of sight.
"We need to hurry back, our master needs us for tomorrows preparation,"
"Hai," Kotetsu and Izumo said before they both disappeared from the scene, heading back to the village, leaving the paralyze unconscious Toad sannin… for dead.
Within a few hours later…
"Uncle, look down there," the nephew pointed out, his uncle looked over and saw it too. No doubt about there is a person down there,
"There's someone down there? You don't think…?" the nephew said,
"I'm gonna go check, you wait here," he said to his nephew before he heads down the hill. The man came closer to the unconscious Jiraya enough to grab his waist, checking his pulse,
"He's alive, but he's not hurt or anything," he said, and then he soon noticed three plunged thorns on Jiraya's hand.
"He's been paralyzed," he stated,
"Uncle, what's wrong?" his nephew called out, he turned to him,
"This man needs help, we need to take him to the resting place immediately," he called out to his nephew, which made him come down the hill to help his uncle carry the unconscious Toad sannin.
…
Jiraya was place on the mat with a blanket over him, the uncle gently removed the three thorns with a tweezer and placed in a small beaker, then he handed to his nephew,
"You remembered the ingredients I taught you?" he asked his nephew,
"Yes uncle, I should be able to have the remedy done within an hour," his nephew said before he left to start making the remedy. The man turned back to the unconscious Jiraya,
"Hopefully that would be enough time before his nervous systems reach his organs," the uncle said,
"It's happening again, isn't it?" he turned to his nephew as he speaks,
"The Head Demon attempt to open the gate to merge two worlds into one," his nephew said while adding some herbs in the mix bowl,
"I'm afraid so. Although our ancestors were able to stop him from last time, but we must stop him from opening it this time. If we haven't received that message from Sungni and her granddaughter, we wouldn't be able to prepare what may happen before it happens," he said before he turned away,
"As Sensors, we must do what we can to prevent demons like Akeeba from taking control of this dimension… no matter the cost," he stated.
Within an hour, his nephew made the remedy and used a syringe needle to pierce into Jiraya's hand where his uncle removed the thorns, then he wrapped his hand in a bandage,
"Well done nephew, now we let the remedy take it's course to recover his nervous system while he rest, in the meantime we should rest as well so we should be ready to head out first thing in the morning," the uncle said before he got up,
"You sure it's okay to leave him here?" his nephew asked,
"We have to continue heading to the village to meet with the other Sensors, also the remedy you just gave him can be nerve-wrecking if not let it process completely, with a small effects of headaches, drowsiness, and a shaky twitch. But I'm sure he'll won't go through any of that by the time we leave first thing in the morning," he said before he gets himself ready for bed.
…Presently…
Swift!
Bam!
The man grunted when he was suddenly been pushed against the ground, his left arm was pulled to the back, he felt a knee pinning him down and saw a kunai knife close to his face, he was able to look who pinned him down, and it was none other than the Jiraya, who is not only recovered and awake, but is pissed off as hell as he glares down at the man,
"Who the hell are you and where am I?" Jiraya said angrily, the man didn't appear afraid but calmed.
"I would say 'I'm a friend', though I sense you wouldn't believe me if I did, plus we technically just met," the man said,
"How do I know you're not one of them?" Jiraya asked him,
"I can assure you I'm not… but rather is best I introduce myself, my name is Jasburu Eijono, my nephew and I found you last night while we're passing by and brought you here at our usual resting place to treat you from the thorns that paralyzed you," the man explained. Though still in his position, Jiraya did looked at his bandage hand where he had those three thorns that were pierced there, and then…
Jiraya grunted as he felt a sudden headache and drowsiness, almost like having a hangover but he didn't have that much to drink this time, and this his hand became shaky which caused him to drop his kunai knife, and soon loses his balance that cause him to fell over and hit the floor, releasing Jasburu from his grasped,
"Uncle," the nephew cried out when he heard a noise, and showed up to the room,
"It's okay Souji, he's just dealing with the affects from the remedy I told you about," Jasburu said as he got up and then turned his attention to Jiraya as he is on the ground shaky and twitching.
"I strongly advise you not to move too much, the remedy takes a certain amount of time processing through your body after being paralyzed for so long," Jasburu, Jiraya looked at the man, as he is close to he age, has black-brown short hair, wears black and red kimono robe with white pants, has a short mustache-beard and brown eyes. Then he looked at the man's nephew as he is around Naruto's age, has light-brown short hair, wears a green and white kimono robe and gray pants, has green eyes and wears a black bandanna over his forehead. He looked at both of their eyes as he noticed neither of them are paled like the people back in the bar and Kurenai, making him realized they're not one of them,
"Who are you people?" Jiraya asked,
"We are known as the Sensors, we can sense spiritual and demonic source from another dimension, and we received a message from our associate that there may be trouble at the Leaf village, Konoha," Jasburu said, which did got Jiraya's attention.
Konoha Village…
At the farm area, a farmer and his son are out to pick some freshly grown fruits and vegetables to gather for the market, the farmer went over to the vegetable garden as his son went to the fruit garden, and then…
"Father!" the farmer heard his son and quickly ran to him,
"What's the matter?" the farmer asked before he saw it himself, the section field where they grow their oranges fruits were all smashed, ripped and damaged,
"The oranges. Somebody ravaged all the oranges!" the son was shocked,
"Who could do such a thing?" the farmer said looking very confused of why only the orange fruits were tarnished but not the other fruits. Little did they know, the farmer's wife stood in front of the window holding her infant daughter in her arms, staring at her husband and son with her paled colored eyes and emotionless expression on her face.
…
At the apartment, a little girl went to the refrigerator to get a cup of her favorite juice, but then she soon discovered it's no longer there,
"Mommy I can't find the orange juice," she called her mother as she was doing the dishes, she went over and looked at the fridge and noticed it too,
"Well that's just odd, I could've sworn I bought some more just yesterday," she said before she turned to her husband who is sitting at the living room.
"Honey, do you know what happened to it?" she asked him, but he didn't reply nor even bother to look at her, as he just sits on his chair with his paled colored eyes and emotionless expression on his face,
"Honey?" his wife called him but still did not reply.
…
At a bakery, the baker search through every cabinets and drawers in the kitchen, one of his staff members walked in and saw him,
"Boss, what are you doing?" she asked him,
"My lemon and limes, I can't find them!" the baker said as he's panicking,
"Maybe they're at the back," she said trying to calm down,
"I looked at the back and the storage closet, and they're nowhere to be found," the baker said before he started looking through the bags where they mostly have apples and bananas,
"That can't be right, we should have plenty from yesterday," the staff said looking confused,
"I thought so too, but when I came, they're all gone! Now how am I supposed to make my special lemon-lime cream pie without my lemons and limes?" the baker appears distressed.
Neither of them noticed the other staff member outside the kitchen stood by, but with his paled colored eyes and emotionless expression on his face.
….
"Hey, where the hell are all my tangerines?" a man said,
"Okay, now which one of you ass-holes stole all my grapefruits," another man yelled,
"My satsuma, where are all my satsumas?" a woman cried,
"All my clementine and mandarins are gone!" another woman said.
The emotionless children stood on top of the building at the Hokage's resident, hearing the commotion throughout the village as they discovered all their citrus fruits are gone. Courtesy of Ibate's subordinates after he ordered them to get rid of every citrus fruit from last night.
"With that now taken care of, we should proceed to the next phase with no 'citrus' problem whatsoever," Ibate said, before he turned to the others,
"I'm leaving Dujobe and the twins in charge of the get-together to make sure nothing and no one interferes once every Jounins and Chunins are present," he said, Dujobe and the Zukato brothers nodded,
"While Kilala and Uki will be at the Academy to gather the young children for the transportation," he said as Kilala and Uki nodded,
"In the meantime, my subordinates and I are going to deal with those Sensors before they try to pull something," Ibate said. Then Akalra stepped in,
"Before we proceed to our task, I wish to remind everyone that in case if any of you encountered Mr. Uchiha, be sure to bring him to Ibate, or if any of you encountered Mr. Uzumaki, be sure to bring him to me," she stated, while Akeeba stood nearby watching his children with his arms folded and his evil smile on his face, once again revealing his fangs; the plan is about to commence.
