Blood Metal Chapter 11. And So The War Begins.
A/N: okay I realise I'm a bit late making another chapter sorry, but I've been working on other stories and not to mention writing the scripts for my series. So bear with me, I don't have as much free time as people think. Also I've been looking over my own stories and boy do I hate Microsoft words auto spell check.
Chapter Start.
A week drew by after since Aiyshana was accepted back into the village and she noticed just how much everyone was trying to recover in that short period of time, unfortunately Aiyshana couldn't do anything in terms of helping because of her responsibilities to her children but she was at leas going to see how everyone in the village were holding up. However an observation lingered in the back of her mind, something she noticed was out of place over the entire week. Her dango addicted sister in-law wasn't anywhere to be seen, but before she could dwell on it she ended up passing Kurenai who looked like she was only a couple of months off from being due.
"Aiyshana. I'm glad to know you're on our side again, you've changed so much in three years". Kurenai looked over into Aiyshana's Rinne-Sharingan with her own red eyes.
"I've changed a lot more than you think, I believe it's best if we talk about you're current condition. Do you mind if I take a seat"? Aiyshana was still gazing at Kurenai's swollen stomach as she took a seat.
"There's not much to know about what I'm going through, it's a shame I can't do anything to help out. If you ever have kids then be sure to pick a safe time to do so". Before Kurenai said more, a squeak of discomfort sounded from Aiyshana's overcoat.
"I'd say it's a bit too late to warn me about that". Aiyshana carefully cradled Itchara out of a sling she was wearing for her, Itchara instantly looked Kurenai's way and made an attempt to smile.
"So you're already a mother, I believe she's going to be very precious to you". Aiyshana smirked at this as she figured Kurenai was there when she returned to the village.
"She's not the only one, I had triplets. My two sons are asleep at home and they are very heavy sleepers". Kurenai's eyes widened upon hearing that.
"So you're taking care of three by yourself, that's going to be tough. Who's keeping an eye on your sons"? Kurenai asked while stroking Itchara's left cheek before noticing the faintly visible indents in her cheeks.
"I got Kishiyoma to keep an eye on them. He's really good with children; Suizhu and Aisho have really taken a liking to him as well for being a pet and their protection. Itchara though is quite a light sleeper and is really attached to being with mommy, aren't you". Aiyshana slightly tickled Itchara's chest earning a joyful squeal for her daughter before letting her grab her pointer finger, Kurenai just watched on in amazement at how much of a caring motherly role Aiyshana had for her children. Before she could ask another question, Hinata approached the two wearing her casual attire.
"Hey Hinata. Look how much you've matured, do you still have an interest in Naruto"? Aiyshana's first question instantly got Hinata blushing furiously, which was enough of an answer for her. "Don't worry Hinata, my brother will figure it out eventually. I just wish he could keep a balance between thinking with his head and his heart. I should be going, Suizhu will probably be awake by now". As Aiyshana got up to leave she noticed Itchara seemed to be reaching out a bit, following the line her hands were aiming at she saw that her daughter wanted to meet Hinata. "Guess I could stay a little longer. Hinata, Itchara wants to say hello to you". Hinata turned around to see the child reaching out to her, as she held the child a smile crept on her when Itchara grabbed her free hand.
"She's cute, and quite the brave one. Most children her age would shy away from strangers". Kurenai said before stifling a laugh as she watched a comical scene unfold, Itchara was grabbing on to Hinata's jacket and wasn't letting go. But what was giving Hinata an embarrassed blush was that Itchara was grabbing the area around her right breast, soon she managed to hand Itchara back to Aiyshana.
"Yeah, she's definitely got Itachi's childhood bravery. I wish he were here to see them, and watch them grow up to be great Shinobi one day. Knowing that he only wanted to keep the village safe even with the hatred he got for killing his clan, He tried to take everything on himself but there's only so much you can do alone". Aiyshana's looked back to Itchara and noticed the confused look on her face.
"I hope she has a bright future ahead of her". Hinata was about to turn her attention back to Kurenai before Aiyshana said one last thing.
"She's taken a liking to you, you've got a very kind heart Hinata. I know when you have children you'll be a wonderful mother for them". Aiyshana left shortly afterward back to her home.
As she entered she felt slightly discomforted as though someone she knew was in trouble or was about to be. She placed Itchara down along with her two brothers before walking over to Kishiyoma.
"Can you keep an eye on them for a little longer, there's something I need to check out okay"? Before the snake could give a response she had already opened a rift and left.
Upon re-exiting the rift she ended up just at the front gate of the hidden rain village and she quickly noticed the aftermath of a battle in the water, this was given extra evidence when a piece of Madara's mask floated to her foot.
"So Madara, I'm guessing things didn't go according to plan with Nagato so you chose to try and take his Rinnegan for yourself". Aiyshana was about to leave when she noticed a figure in the water; at first glance she assumed it was Madara until she noticed the figure had straight blue hair.
"No. KONAN"! Aiyshana knew that it was too late to save Konan but it didn't seem right for her body to just be lying there, so by acting in kindness Aiyshana carefully picked up and carried Konan's body to where she knew her teammates were buried. Once there her anger began to flare up as she noticed Nagato's body was missing while Yahiko's lay silently in the bed of paper flowers, as if he was at peace with his surroundings. That's when the answer hit her and she realised what they tried to do.
"Konan, Yahiko, Nagato. I see now your intentions; you were trying to create an era of peace amongst the five nations. Your original way seemed like it would work as you intended to help and unify each village one at a time. But why stray from your path and choose this one that the Akatsuki recently had". Aiyshana continued to speak silently to herself for a little while longer before an idea snapped in her head, though to most people it would be absolutely crazy.
"I believe the Akatsuki needs to be bumped back on track and return to its original intentions how they were meant to be carried out. Metal style, multi Steel Sarcophagus"! As Aiyshana clamped her hands shut two cases emerged from the ground. She placed Konan's body inside one while the other surfaced around Yahiko's.
"This step will be the first of many to follow". Aiyshana quickly de-summoned the Sarcophagus before opening another rift and leaving.
When she returned home it had almost been an entire day and she noticed things were much quieter around the village, however her sensory abilities located a mass formation of chakra far from the fire nation.
"So it's official, the fourth great Shinobi war has begun. I need to act fast then". She was about to open another rift when she sensed another more faint but unfortunately familiar chakra in a forest, so without a second thought she opened the rift to that location and headed through.
Once on the other side again she had to rest a bit as she was really beginning to push that ability past her daily limits. After a few minutes rest she continued venturing around the forest before noticing what looked to be a filled in hole.
"Why would someone do something like this"? Aiyshana placed one hand on the small mounts that protruded from the ground before that chakra became extremely potent.
"Talk about interesting, I didn't know they made graves for the immortal. Are they as comfort as people say, Hidan". Aiyshana couldn't help but have a go at the profane loudmouth; the delayed response she got was a couple of grunts indicating he may have swallowed dirt during his burial.
"I'm sorry Hidan were you trying to say something"? Aiyshana's responses again were some muffled grunts but this time they sounded angry.
"Is this a bad time to see or in this case not see you? I can come back later if you want". The next response this time sounded like a pleading series of grunts.
"Alright, you don't have to act like that. I was only having you on. BanshÅ Ten'in". All the dirt and rocks covering Hidan were lifted from him and set in a pile further from the hole.
"Jeez who caused you to explode in anger, mind you that's not had to accomplish figuratively but literally is something else". Aiyshana failed at stifling a chuckle at her own statement while the head of a dismembered Hidan glared at her.
"Yeah very fucking funny, now are you going to get me out or what"? Hidan snapped back with a lot of venom before Aiyshana smirked at him.
"That depends, are you willing to shut the profanity up until I've put my plan into action". Aiyshana stared back at Hidan while getting no answer.
"I guess that's something you're never going to do anyway. Metal style, living swarm". Hidan's parts were pulled out of the hole by over a dozen red-hot snakes.
"You're doing this deliberately aren't you"? Hidan's pained expression as he was being seared while being saved was more then enjoyable for Aiyshana as his head was dropped in her hands
"And if I was, you can take being burned a little. Or are you just a big baby, either way I don't think you'll be of any use to me like this. Naraka Path, King of hell"! Suddenly a giant head surfaced from the ground and opened its mouth.
"Wait, what are you going to do with that"? For the first time ever Aiyshana saw worry plastered over Hidan's face.
"You don't need to be scared, besides you be as good as new when it's finished". Before Hidan could utter a response Aiyshana threw his head into its mouth while her chains followed suite throw the rest of him in.
"Now give it about 10-30 seconds aaaaannnnnd, done". Right on queue the king of hell reopened its mouth and revealed a pale but fully intact Hidan.
"There, that wasn't so bad now was it"? Aiyshana mocked before de-summoning the king of hell for another time.
"Never send me back in there again". Hidan tried to threaten but Aiyshana couldn't take it seriously.
"Well don't get blown to pieces and I won't have to, okay. Now that your fixed up I think it would be best for us to depart, I don't think you've noticed but the fourth great ninja war is about to begin and I need to find the rest of the Akatsuki if we are to stop what Zetsu and Tobi A.K.A Madara have set in motion". Aiyshana looked back at Hidan while he was getting used to moving about again and swinging his scythe.
"And why should I help you"? Hidan's response was an instant mistake as Aiyshana quickly snapped her own back.
"If you don't want to help me then I'll gladly seal you back in the hole, this time with molten instead of dirt". Aiyshana had her hands raised in anticipation.
"Guess I'm not really left with many options besides, I never really like those two to begin with". Hidan seemed to finally cooperate with Aiyshana however she still needed to get a lot done before her plan could be complete.
"So, what now Aiyshana"? Hidan's response was Aiyshana creating another rift before both of them entered it.
"Just wait here for a little while, there's something more personal I need to quickly get out of the way". Aiyshana quickly opened a rift beneath her feet and fell into her home before it quickly closed.
The first thing she had for a welcome was Aisho crying wildly before Kishiyoma slithered on to her shoulder and stared at her.
"Yes I'm sorry for being gone so long, but that's beside the point. The 4th Great War is about to start and they're going to need our help, before we leave I'm going to see if Kurenai can babysit them until we bring this madness to an end". Kishiyoma seemed to already be one step ahead of Aiyshana surprisingly as Aisho had stopped crying.
"Aiyshana, you realise it's bad parenting to leave your child alone but given the current circumstances I can see that it's necessary for you to leave, you don't need to worry about them. I'll make sure to look after them as best I can". Kurenai looked over to Aiyshana while cradling Aisho gently.
"Thank you Kurenai, you're a life saver".
"You should be thanking your pet there, with how you walked about through the village it was natural for him to be guarding your children so when I saw him approach me I knew something was off. You should be on your way, the sooner this war ends the sooner you can come back to them". Aiyshana gave one last thankful nod before calling Kishiyoma into her jacket again and jumping into another rift.
"It's about time you returned, I thought you were going to leave me in here". Kishiyoma sprung out of Aiyshana's collar and stared coldly into Hidan's eyes for a few seconds.
"That thought had crossed my mind. Come on, we don't have time to waste".
Chapter end.
A/N: finally, you know after about 3 or 4 times of looking over potential story paths half way through, it gets annoying very fast when you try one way then realise how bad it seems and you scrap it for a new idea. Well that's what I had to do and thanks to that, an entire month of stock writing went down the drain and I'm re-doing all of my work again. also i've been dealing with microsoft word constantly quitting itself when i'm working on these chapters, and by god it was a miracle that i didn't have a meltdown. Please leave a review. Seeya's.
