HEY! It's TheRagFromTheCrag and he's got a message for your eyes alone! Check out my profile for the forum link where the Polls for this story are located! If you don't vote you can't bitch about my choices! As of the last chapter I am acknowledging the cannocity of the Mangekyo Sharingan being fully activated and realised, but he will no longer not be fully aware of it as his use is now no longer chiefly unconscious in it's use, which had a number of problems the longer he uses it subconsciously and remained unaware. Check out my Poll on my profile to determine which Mangekyo Sharingan he will potentially transplant and whether or not a Poll is required for their Abilities . The first ability is a Short-Range Kamui and the Second one, is Amaterasu and the third is universal. Also, Last time it was easily my biggest let down in low word output since the last two before that were my two Largest Chapters ever, and I DO MEAN EVER! I wrote 4,231 words in the second to last one and 4,415 in the one before it!
Special thanks to Novrier for his help as always!
Kitani's encounter with additional Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist was an eye-opening experience, it meant they in serious trouble, Kitani sat in a room with Ino, Kakashi, Asuma, Shikamaru, Sasuke and the rest of Team's Ten and Seven. Tazuna and his family was present. ''Your sure it was Kushimaru Kuriarare and Jinpachi Munashi? But that's not possible.'' Says Asuma.
''Why Asuma-Sensei?'' Asks Sakura.
''When Might Guy was a Genin under Lord Kurotana, they were cornered by the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist's Strongest Generation, or at least most of their members of that generation. Kurotana and Guy's father killed most of them, Jinpachi and Kushimaru were supposed to be among them.'' Says Kakashi. ''There's very few Jutsu that can resurrect the recently deceased or long deceased. So we have to make sure they're dead.'' Says Kakashi.
''I want those Swords, so Myself, Shikamaru, and Kakashi and Asuma will take the three on, while the rest of you take on Haku. We'll need to prepare for them accordingly, Uncle Kashi? I can download the battle into your Sharingan.'' Says Kitani as Kakashi raises his Forehead protector and Kitani downloads the intel into Kakashi's brain. ''Ino, please be careful.'' Says Kitani, vulnerable for a fraction of a second.
After a few short details Kitani was left alone with Ino. ''Ino, I need you to understand something, something about me and Naruto. We both possess Monsters inside of us. Naruto has the Nine-Tails and I have the Four-Tails. My father was the previous Jinchuriki to the Four-Tails, so he sealed it into me before death took him. I had a choice, Naruto never did.'' Says Kitani.
Ino processes but instead of shying away, she gives him an enchanting smile that causes his cheeks to heat up, as he realises what Ino's doing. She kisses his cheek! KISSES HIS CHEEK! ''If you think you are a monster, your wrong, nothing could ever make me think you a monster.'' Says Ino.
Kitani puts her in a Genjutsu to show his problems. ''Still think that?'' Kitani asks.
''I told you, nothing will ever make me think of you as a monster.'' Says Ino as tries to kiss him again, just far more intimately.
Kitani quickly stops her. ''I would like nothing better than to embrace you like that. But I just can't, Naruko is still in my thoughts and to have that with you in my life just wouldn't be fair or right. As much as I want this, I just can't, I'm sorry.'' Says Kitani as he lays back and looks away. Ino leaves without another word. But sobs can be heard.
(One Week Later)
Kitani Stood on the bridge as three Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist and a fake Hunter-Nin appeared. ''Well, we're fucked.'' Says Choji oddly enough. Kitani draws his Katana and walks towards The four men. ''Zabuza, we never did get to finish our little fight now did we? As the Next Demon King of The Hidden Leaf, I, Kitani Uchiha, Challenge you for the Executioners Blade.'' Says Kitani as he wordlessly commands his Katana to extend.
''Agreed, Kushimaru take Sarutobi, Jinpachi you've got Hatake, Haku gets the children. Let's get some payback.'' Says Zabuza as The Three Former Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist charge their opponents.
Kitani matches every blow that Zabuza throws at him. ''Uchiha Clan Secret Technique: Dance of The Kamui Leaf!'' Says Kitani as he casts Kamui on his Katana and strikes at the sight of the chip he previously inflicted. Kitani quickly deepens the chip into a crack, before breaking the application of pressure. His eye begins to bleed profusely, but he blinks it off.
Kitani Looks to his body and decides that it's time to pull out all the stops. ''Lava-Style: Lava Blade Jutsu!'' Says Kitani as his sword is enveloped by a Volcanic Aura. ''This is my Lava-Style Kekkei Genkai, Using the Molten Lava My Monkey gives me, I can apply it's aura to my blade. Normally the heat and pressure would melt or crack any other blade, but this Katana was forged in the Fires of Amaterasu, meaning no heat can melt it. Furthermore, it was infused with the Toad Oil of Mount Myoboku, which naturally draws Sage Art Chakra to it and makes the Lava that much stronger. However I think it's time to try a new power, The combination of two Kekkei Genkai!'' Says Kitani as he channels his Fire and Wind-Style Chakra in direct sync with his Lava-Style, which shows a mean shade of orange. ''Inferno-Style: Inferno Sword Jutsu!'' Says Kitani as His blade suddenly thrums with heat and energy.
Zabuza is impressed, but charges anyway, using the Sharingan to predict his movement's, Kitani ducts under his Blade and thrusts his own Sword into Zabuza's Left Shoulder, yanking it out quickly. ''You just severed and melted the nerves in my body that granted me use of my arm, impressive.'' Says Zabuza as he tries again, but Kitani quickly does the same thing, and Zabuza has no use of his arms now. ''I win.'' Says Kitani, picking up the Executioners Blade, and placing it on his back.
He leaves Zabuza behind and goes towards Kushimaru Kuriarare and Jinpachi Munashi, deciding who to fuck with first. He settles on Jinpachi, since the Shibuki is likely to be by far the most dangerous now that Zabuza has been dealt with. Quickly performing the Transformation Technique, Kitani turns himself into Zabuza and uses a Shadow Clone to simulate his death. Slinging the Clone over his shoulder, Kitani walks towards Jinpachi. ''Are you two idiots done yet?'' Zabuza/Kitani asks.
''Looks like the Prince was no match for this old man.'' Says Jinpachi with a sadistic smirk.
''Paws off Jinpachi, as the one to best him the Sharingan is mine!'' Says Zabutani, before Stabbing him through the heart with his Katana. ''How pathetic, couldn't tell the difference between us.'' Says Kitani as he breaks the transformation technique and picks up Shibuki.
''Got your girlfriend boy!'' Says Kushimaru as he holds Ino at Needle point.
''Let her go!'' Demands Kitani.
''Nah.'' Says Kushimaru as he thrusts the Nuibari through Ino's chest. Kitani's pupils dilate, nostrils flair and Chakra erupts. His Chakra turns reddish orange, as a Single Tail appears on him. ''You...Dead...'' Says Kitani in a enraged monotone, if that were even possible. He shoots towards Ino and holds her in his arms. ''Ino...must...live...'' He says, before turning his head towards Kushimaru and growing a Second Tail.
''This is bad, if gets to four there's no telling what will happen!'' Says Asuma.
''Agreed, but we should let him kill Kushimaru first, if only to not have that issue to deal with mid-containment.'' Says Kakashi.
Kitani clutches Ino tightly, before a Third Tail appears and he opens his mouth. He fires Lava Bullets at Kushimaru, before using his Tails to hold each sword he has on him. They begin to target Kushimaru, one second the Katana is fighting him, then the Shibuki comes in from behind him. It cycles and repeats until Kushimaru is dead. A Fourth Tail appears, and Kitani scoops up the Sewing Needle Sword with his Fourth Tail. ''Kitani, please come back to me?'' Ino begs him. The Tailed-Beast Chakra recedes, and Kitani takes out a Sealing Brush and uses his and Ino's Blood to write the Seals on her. He gives her a Pressure Seal, A Gravity Seal, A Spirit Seal, and A Unity Seal.
He then writes a Life Seal on her palm before placing the other half on his own, connecting them. Ino breathes in as her body begins to Heal. ''I am sorry Ino, but I couldn't let you die. Your too important to me.'' Says Kitani as he kisses her lips, and Ino see's stars. 'God he's kissing me! Kitani is actually Kissing ME! Why do I feel tingly and wet!?' Ino's mind practically screams as she kisses him back with ferocity. Neither is willing to submit, until Kitani starts to overpower Ino, who becomes progressively more aroused as Kitani forces her to submit to him.
A sudden clearing of throats finds their teams shifting nervously. Using their eyes to communicate, Kitani and Ino decide to continue it Later. Because Gato's arrived. But Kitani passes out from exertion...
Kitani awoke to find Ino snuggling into him from his bed. It was such a beautiful sight, which was marred by blurry Vision and Eye Irritation, meaning he needed to get his hands on some Kotaro fast. But first he'd send Shadow Clones to do a little bit of digging to cash in on any bounties on Zabuza, Jinpachi, and Kushimaru. And to acquire the wealth of Gato and enter it into a A Bank account. While the real Kitani enjoys time with Ino. Oddly enough it wasn't that long ago that he'd been opposed to her as a relationship, yet now he felt a longing in him for her? Did her injury force him to confront such feelings that he denied ever having for her? Stranger things have happened.
Still, as the one to kill three Rogue Ninja from the Hidden Mist's Strongest Generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsman, this would beget him a reputation, something both good and ill. If nothing else it will increase the volume of missions requesting his presence. And with Ino being the cause of his fury, that made her a target as well. He needed training, and fast, something to get an edge over future enemies.
''Not interrupting anything am I?'' Asks Kakashi.
''No, Uncle but please do lower your voice, I do not wish to wake Ino up unless I have to. I want to Learn the Chidori, and How to Summon Ninja Hounds.'' Says Kitani, quietly so as not to awaken Ino. ''I am also interested in Joining ANBU Black Ops as my Uncle Shisui did. But if I do join, I do not wish for my team to know.'' Says Kitani.
''I'll speak with Yugao, see if she's willing to take you on, as far as Ninja Hounds go, disentangle yourself from Ino and we'll talk.'' Says Kakashi.
''Thank you uncle.'' Says Kitani gratefully as he effortlessly disentangle's himself from Ino and Follows Kakashi out.
Arriving at a Small clearing, Kakashi bites down on his thumb and plants his hand flat on the ground. ''Summoning Jutsu!'' Says Kakashi as a puff of smoke appears and Pakkun and his boys appear.
''Eight Ninja Hounds reporting for Duty.'' Says Pakkun.
''Pakkun, I Need a Summoning Contract for Kitani.'' Says Kakashi.
''Right, Bull?'' Asks Pakkun and the big dog Pakkun is own unfurls a scroll for him to sign, and Kitani writes it in his blood.
''Alright, it's done, call us when you need us Kitani.'' Says Pakkun as he and the others disappear just as they'd arrived in a puff of smoke.
''Show me the Chidori?'' Asks Kitani, and Kakashi nods without a word before doing it.
''First you gather Chakra into you palm, you then turn it from Neutral Chakra into Lightning-Style Chakra, let it charge, then you charge. Try it.'' Says Kakashi, and Kitani makes sure to record everything he does and how he does it. Kitani nods, and does as instructed, he lets the Chidori Charge for thirty seconds before charging forwards. As he leaps into the air, he sends his hand down in a chop shaped hand but thrusting forward hard, like a spear. It shatters a tree in its entirety. ''Impressive, but I understand you asked Lord Hiashi to show you the Eight Trigrams Rotation Jutsu?'' Asks Kakashi.
''We are related, but I wished to complete my own Version of the Chidori. Allow me to demonstrate.'' Says Kitani as he creates a Lightning Aura and sends his palm thrust. ''It's unrefined, It's my hope that the Rotation of the Eight Trigrams Rotation Jutsu can help me power it up and remove the inherent flaw in the Chidori.'' Says Kitani as he finishes up.
''An interesting thought, but what about your Inferno-Style?'' Asks Kakashi.
''Unfortunately that was not a complete Jutsu, as your aware I am Lava-Style both naturally and without the Four-Tails. Scorch-Style is difficult at best, I lack the training in Wind-Style to create a True Scorch-Style, so as you can understand, it was incomplete.'' Says Kitani as considers something. ''I just had a thought, Mom's teammate, wasn't he a Sage? If I train under him, I could gain access to the Toad Oil of Mount Myoboku, which I could infuse in all my weapons, making it naturally more dangerous when using Fire-Style involved Ninjutsu.'' Says Kitani.
''No desire to become a Sage. You'd certainly be able to?'' Asks Kakashi.
''No, I told Uncle Asuma that I'd table any Scorch-Style until Chun, so I won't try to perfect it until then, and I won't consider Sage Art stuff until the Jonnin stage of my life.'' Says Kitani as he has the fact that he's got more pressing stuff to deal with.
Kitani was satisfied with the fact his clones had done as he'd asked, and the money was placed into a Bank Account, he also took Haku's corpse, if nothing else the Ice-Style would be useful in the future. Problem is he lacked the expertise to assimilate DNA into himself or anyone else. So that like a lot of other things it had to be tabled...oh he hated having to wait for stuff...at least Ino was going to be around more...damn, now he's acting like Sakura...
In the Days that followed their return trip, Kitani and Ino had become closer than ever, there was a spring in Ino's step that wasn't previously there, and a twinkle in her eyes too. Kitani himself no longer felt weighed down by Naruko's loss, but it still stung him nevertheless. Kitani's only problem was his Eyesight, it hadn't improved much, but the effects weren't as severe as before. He really needed to get his hands on some Kotarō and soon, to delay it if nothing.
Any who, Tazuna had agreed to Pay off the higher payment required for the upgrade from a C-Rank to A-Rank, so that was something at least. Kitani had decided to create his own Ninja Village, but realized that it was premature currently, and as such, would need to wait. On a side note, Kakashi had mentioned that the Chunin Exams were coming up, and asked for his opinion. His answer was thus: Sasuke is more of a one-on-one type of guy, he focused on decisive finishing and skill. Naruto was the type of guy who had the Chakra to form a Continental Army of Shadow Clones and take on an army of equal if not greater size. This made him an excellent candidate for one-vs-all type of fighting. Sakura despite her test scores, was pretty much a deadweight, her Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and especially her Taijutsu were all subpar, to say she was as skilled as a newly minted Academy Student was exaggerated compliment, in short she sucked...hard. However her Chakra Control was her one saving grace currently, meaning she was capable of becoming a Medical-Ninja if nothing else. Kakashi agreed and left soon after.
Kitani knew he'd have to become stronger, his Mangekyō Sharingan was only half of his power at best. He needed an edge to the Cellular level. But he had bigger things ahead of him currently.
(Kitani's House, Hidden Leaf Village)
Kitani returned home, and went straight to the Armory and found his Father's Sharingan. It wasn't just his though, he found other's inside, which didn't make sense since some had been killed by Itachi, after his Father died. The eyes there were listed as those of Lord Fugaku, Naka, Baru, Rai, and Naori Uchiha's in addition to his Father and Grandfather's. Someone must've added them. He places a Seal on the box after returning it to it's place and exiting the Armory.
Kitani fonds a Set of ANBU Gear with a Fox Mask. ''Kakashi sent word, come to the ANBU Bar. We'll find you there.'' Kitani reads off the note. Kitani picks up the Fox Mask, and notices that the eye holes are wide enough to use his Mangekyō Sharingan's Abilities. He slowly puts the Gear on, and with little hesitation he slips the mask on. Kitani puts his Newly acquired Swords on his Back and walks out.
It was easier than one might expect, finding the ANBU Bar, but that was concerning more than relieving. Any who he sat at a table, in the corner using a Chakra Sponge to Clean and Sharpen the Kubikiribōchō. A woman wearing a mask with purple hair comes to his table. ''Follow me.'' She says...
Chapter EndHeya, shorter Chapter but still larger than the last one. After some grief the damned poll is finally up and because Ino was one that up from Temari, she is Kitani's Current Canon LI, I am still uncertain if I should do a Harem, but if I do, it will be less of a Lemon and more romance sort of Harem. As a result A Poll is in the works to determine the core members if I decide to go that way, just need to work out the core members and how many will be available for voting and how many choices are able to be chosen. See you next time!!!!!
