Check out Animescale on youtube for how I am scaling Mika...
This mission I thought long and hard about, it is going to be good!
P.S. Ghost wasn't with Mika for a reason, I did that on purpose!
"NO, IT'S NOT TRUE!" Sora screamed while Mika's hands glowed green and roamed over his body, lingering over his bandaged right arm. Something felt subtly off, he just wasn't sure what it was.
Hanabi, seeing this, focused her eyes on the arm and gasped. "His chakra coils are five times greater is size, and thickness and show massive signs of scarring. His entire chakra network has signs of scarring."
Mika frowned, digging deeper with his detection jutsu and gasping. "How can you even use chakra? There is so much scarring. And the flow of chakra in your arm, it's far too fast, only damaging the cells in your arm. It's like something in your arm is feeding, leeching on your chakra." Eyes wide, Mika tore his hands away. "Take off the bandages, now!" Sora, still yelling at Chiriku, did not need to do this as his arm burst into the thickness and into a monstrous appearance. It looked like an ogre's arm, all scaley and gross, oozing chakra that Mika knew all too well, sensor or not. "Holy fuck!"
They all looked at Mika, stunned. "What is it? Why am I like this?"
Mika gave Chiriku the look, a look that would have made even Tsunade shiver with terror. As it was Chiriku recoiled, eyes wide with fear. "Why did the Leaf never know of this? His life, and the life of all beings in a several-mile radius are in danger!"
"WHAT IS IT?"
Mika sighed. "You are a jinchuuriki, somehow, of the Kyuubi. Which is impossible given that I know the Jinchuuriki of the Nine-tailed Fox. I have met him, fought him, trained him and sensed the Fox's chakra during a fight. I know this chakra well..."
Sora shivered. "Why, how,... what?"
"Someone fused the Fox's chakra into your body, your arm, the only way I can think of it by sealing it into your very cells. That is what is causing the mutations and the scarring. It is killing you though, damaging your lifeforce and ripping through your cells. Your chakra is insanely strong, but you are not compatible so this is hurting you, killing you. I give you five, ten years before you age and die early.
You need to go to the Leaf, only Tsunade can extract this safely."
"How did you figure it out, no one else ever has?" Chiriku asked.
Mika held out his hand. 'I am a very skilled medic and I have fought this chakra before. I also have a weak understanding of seals, that helps too. We need to go, now. Sora, pack your shit up, you are coming with us consciously or not."
The boy shivered. "Who cares, I am just a mosnter anyway."
Mika grabbed his chin forcibly. "You are a child, the victim of an older person taking advantage of you and what I imagine was a predisposition for high chakra levels. They are the monsters, you are not... speaking of... it would have taken someone with an advanced understanding of sealing, a strong chakra and some basic knowledge of medical jutsu to have done this. Who could have?"
Chiriku cringed. "Kazuma... his father, he was... an insurrectionist, and borderline crazed. He was terribly skilled, and his skills are what you say they are."
Sora's eyes flashed a literal red. "My father was as white as snow, he would never-"
"I knew him far better than you did, Sora, he was not a good man." Chiriku snapped out. "We nearly lost a dozen monks because of your rampage, and that might have been his fault. Do not defend him!" The man's strong presence shut down Sora's arguments.
Mika just sighed. "Let's just work on healing Sora, who I cannot help but adopt." Mika meant it too, his heart went out to the boy who was in need of a loving figure. Someone to guide him. Mika's weakness, sadly.
"ADOPT?"
"Yes, you are hated for no reason, which basically means I am forced to adopt you. You are hated here, come with me and stay with me. I could use another brother!"
To his shock, Sora looked down. "Would... would you really do that?"
Hanabi shocked them all by hugging him. " Mika adopts everyone that needs it. He is a great man, he turned my mistreated sister into a real badass and healed my clan's hate. He is amazing and if he says he will adopt you then you are my brother already. Come on, join our family!"
Mika held out his hand, and Sora slowly but surely grabbed his hand in return. "Family?"
"Duh!" Now come one, dear one, let's get you your medical treatment. I will see about getting you evaluated and adopted. My adopted Father, Hiashi Hyuuga, will love having you! He loves kids and he will love having a crack at your taijutsu, I know you likely have great taijutsu as a monk. I cannot wait to spar with you as it is!"
Chiriku smiled. "Mika, you wouldn't have to be in the Bingo book, right?" Mika frowned. "I remember it now, the Leaf's Dancing Blade. Orochimaru had you placed in the most recent addition,... I hear you are a crack hand at taijutsu, with tremendous speed and the rare ability to bolster your strength with chakra. A master of evasion and a great kenjutsu user as well."
Mika flushed and Sora gaped. "You're that good, but you're a midget!"
Mika laughed. "I am short, true, but yes, I am very good. If think it's shocking about my skills, wait til you meet Ghost, my cat! He stayed in the Leaf to work on using chakra through his fur! A difficult task, now go get your stuff. Think about what you want to learn as a ninja, I will make sure it happens."
Sora beamed. "I am a wind type, can you help there?
"I am well versed in wind chakra, it is my second element."
"Awesome!" Sora hurried away, excitement in his eyes.
As he did so, Mika turned to Chiriku. "How dare you not help him, a victim of abuse and circumstance! You are lucky I know could kill me, otherwise, I might carve your heart out!"
The man shivered. "I... I know, you are right... but remember, I had to help everyone, not just him."
"That is helping your case too... he is mine now."
"Yes, I can see that... "
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a joy to write, I love Sora and I adore his presence in this story. He was so strong for a kid, and I loved that! His story was uber compelling.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
