Hey quick authors note.
The transformation jutsu is underrated. Much like the mighty nemekian it has a lot of uncharted potential. In my story, I hope to explore that potential and not just for bedroom antics of the depraved.
On to my story Unholy Ghost ch6 Unsightly Buffet
Story start
My mother stood before me, blocking the entrance to the mysterious lab, under my house. At my approach, she narrowed her eyes in contempt. The seal on her head, was an unsightly gesture before my powers.
I drew upon my full power and felt my body accept my astral being in full. Every cell was on fire as my eyes turned red. An aura of red astral energy surrounded my body. A pressure began to assert itself from my powerful soul.
My mother's eyes widened, at the display. She fell to her knees at my approach. "What's wrong mother. Am I too much to bare? Or is it the weight of your sins, finally too much?" I said. My voice was a whisper, yet I could see the pain in her eyes.
I would have like to say that it pleased me. The look of futility and despair on her face. She knew that there was nothing she could do now. On her knees, unable to move a muscle, she was defenseless.
Reaching out, I touched the seal on her forehead. It was a simple seal. Yet, in all its simplicity, it was powerful. I couldn't invade her mind with it there. I couldn't remove it. The seal was etched into her skull.
While, I touched the seal, I could temporarily negate it. This negation, only lasted for a second. With my full power, that was more than enough time to implant my commands. She was free to fight them, though my mother would believe they were her own ideas.
"You have finally broken the gate. You are now worthy, to witness the secrets of the Tono. Let me take you to the lab and to meet the staff." Solders wearing all black rushed through the gate. They paused only when they saw my mother. On their masks was the star that repels psi.
"Mistress Tono there was an explosion and one of the subjects woke up. Do you wish to go see him now?" She nodded. And turned to me.
"I am going to bring my son with me. He has proven himself to be powerful. I believe him capable of wielding the mysterious power of the stars. Better yet, he seems to be more powerful than the stars themselves." That got me intrigued. I had to get through and see them. Then, I would kill them.
"I am unsure if that is wise. They are known to meld their powers together when awake. If he is down there they could take control of him as well." One of the soldiers said.
"I'm sorry, am I not the Matron of the Tono? Chief of security officer Mitsuki. My son has proven his worth. I will take him with me to see the awakened one." He bowed to my mother.
"Very well mistress. Squad escort two VIPs to lab 1 on the double." They surrounded us in a v formation and we walked through the opening. A different branch of soldier walked out of the opening they were dressed in greys. They began to rip the doors from the walls in teams. It was their job to repair the gate, I surmised.
As soon as we entered the opening, I was accosted by psi feelers. They attempted to pry into my mind. It was clumsy barely better than a Yamanaka. I swatted at them like mosquitos.
"They are a persistent bunch." I said. There was no strain on my face. My mother didn't look worried.
"Indeed, no one without the star seal, is allowed through the gate. Without the gate, all Konoha would be in danger. I shudder to think what havoc they could cause, without the gate." The security chief said.
We arrived at lab 1. My eyes locked on a large glass cage covered in seals. His accommodations were better than most prisoners. There was a shelf filled with books and a desk in the corner. Drawings covered the walls.
A familiar looking boy with red hair sat in the center. His eyes locked on to mine and I could feel the psi feelers. They attempted to find an opening in my mind. I grabbed ahold of one and tugged on it. His eyes widened in shock. It was the equivalent of hair pulling.
He walked towards the glass. "Hello, are you one of my brothers." The malevolent power radiating from this child, was beyond any psycker, I had ever met. The pure hate he had for his jailers couldn't be put into words.
"The Tono family found 20 eggs 300 years ago. The founder of our clan was a seal master. He was an exile from the Uzumaki clan. One day, one of the eggs hatched. It was a female child. She was known as number zero. He sealed the other eggs and raised her to be one of his brides. At an early age, she took control of his mind and used him like a puppet. She never bed, him. Instead she took from him his money and land and took only the healthiest of men to her bed. She was foolish. She failed to destroy our patriarchs mind. He found a way to block her powers. The star on my forehead." She pointed at the seal. "From that point on he hunted down and killed all her children. When he killed her children, he strangled her to death with the umbilical cord of her latest child. From there he took women and began the Tono clan. The woman had foolishly left her siblings sealed away. She didn't want the competition." I nodded. Revenge was nothing new to me. Getting cucked must have sucked.
"Why not kill them all." The red head looked at me in shock." I turned to my mother.
"We wanted to learn from them. That's why this facility is here to study this strange power. It was only recently that we woke them from their pods. I had planned to impregnate Suha, Ghunwah, and Abal. I thought that if we raised them loyal to the clan, perhaps we could integrate it as a new bloodline. What happened to your eyes my son, they are so very red." I turned my eyes to her.
The soldier shifted on their feet. "This power has three categories of use. Trance, Rise, and Burst each category represents a different facet of the power. When I use my burst, it makes my eyes turn red." Her eyes widened a bit.
"So, it is merely an aesthetic change." The commands I implanted in her were taking affect nicely.
"You aren't one of us. I can see it and father's memories tell it all. You are one of the old ones. The model before us. One step closer to the pitiful humans. Why am I not surprised?" I slipped feelers of my own through the cracks he made.
He backed up to the edge of his enclosure. Books fell from the shelves and toys were scattered, as he tried to escape my own psi feelers. One of them shot into his frontal lobe while others hooked into his spinal cortex.
"I remember your father. You are just like him. I can feel the lives he took to make you. My mind can taste his struggle to transport you and your siblings to freedom. I am hungry and your fear smells so sweet." When my astral dragon was created, I gained an ability. It was only now that I understood it.
This boy was made up of countless lives. He was not a boy but a collection of life energy. His mind created the pattern for it and the neutral energy formed accordingly.
In a few months' time, this boy could surpass me in power. He had the potential of many souls. What he didn't have was a mind over a century old. Nor did he have active control, over the souls that made up his body. I took from him everything.
That is my newest power. To take from my enemies and concur them. It was the dominance of a dragon.
The feelers worked as power lines, in only one direction.
"What are you doing to me stop it." The boy yelled out. The soldiers moved but my mother raised her hand. The commands I placed worked very well.
"Help me please, he is killing me." The boy's body began to age rapidly. Flesh peeled off leaving wrinkled grey skin underneath. He struggled and cried when he saw, what he was becoming.
"I just wanted to live." He said, as I took the rest. No remorse, this was his fate as a child of Amagi the Sepheroth. A small spark appeared, when the body was gone. It was the seed, left over from his creation. Given enough bodies the boy would reform. I dared not touch such a thing or else the drain could work in reverse.
It may have been a century since, I dealt with the man. But I was not foolish enough to mess with one of his cast offs. Especially since, he was the destroyer of my world.
"What did you do Yusuke? All that's left of him is that seed." My mother said.
"That is all he is mother. A jutsu that was made to look and act human. It was made from hundreds of thousands of lives. Normal humans were kept as cattle to be bred for their life force. It was all to create the holy children of the Sepheroth. I read his mind and his history, when I stripped him of the lives. You shouldn't let anyone get too close to him. He will surely strip them of their lives and reform." I said.
"If I take you to the other children, you will do the same. I still want to study them. We have made several discoveries on the nature of jutsu from these children. Until I say our work is complete, you are not allowed to finish the children. Do I make myself clear?" Her eyes met mine. My programming was having trouble affecting her. This woman my mother was powerful, as she was stubborn. Progress in exchange for the earth. Foolishness.
"Yes, mother in exchange for the continuation of my stay here at the mansion and my instatement as heir of the Tono, the children may remain as they are for now." She patted me on the arm. One of the few motherly gestures in Yusuke's memory.
"Your sister, is far too impulsive to be the heir. Even if you had died, I wouldn't have allowed her to succeed me. There is a branch family of ours in the land of hot water. I would have chosen my successor among them. It would have surely angered your sister. By that point, you would have been distanced from the family. On your way to becoming a Jonin. But plans change." There was a wrinkle at the edge of her eyes. She was more bothered by her change of heart than she let on. Such was the nature of mind control.
She marched me back up the long stairs to the gate. There were other gates, connected to long tunnels that led to the hospital, training ground 44, and out of the village. These tunnels were as old as Konoha itself, seals were built into the walls. After the tour, she gave me an access seal. It was the Tono heir ring. With this ring, the Tono clan would become mine.
"Mother," I said, as we exited the newly repaired gate. All I would have to do to reenter the place, was to touch the gate.
She turned to me. "Yes, Yusuke." Her tone didn't carry its normal irritation. In place of the normal scorn, did I sense some pride?
"I want a marriage contract for Sakura Hurano, Suha, Abal, and Ghunwah. If I am to be heir then more children will be needed." She raised an eyebrow.
"Heir for a few minutes and you already have a plan. It isn't Suha that put you up to this. That girl needs to learn her place." I looked up at her. Her 6ft 2in was towering over me. She raised an eyebrow. "Beneath me. Son she may have a foot on me, but I can throw her a good kilometer. Is this about her plot to have you assassinate me and take control of the clan. That woman isn't too bright. Your grandmother had no more control over your grandfather's actions than she has over mine. Just because, she becomes your wife doesn't give her a hand, in the finances. That is strictly in the control of the head. She will get a wife trust and nothing more. The same with the others. I want to know though son. Do you want that much estrogen in your life?" I raised an eyebrow. Why was she so much fun now?
"Oh, you must be curious, why am I so relaxed around you. It's because, you didn't kill me. For whatever reason, you decided to spare my life and just give me a few ignorable commands." My eyes widened. She laughed. "Don't give me that. I'm not a jonin for nothing. Recognizing thoughts not my own is child's play. It's not that you did a bad job. I am aware of the children, back in the lab. Before this seal was even administered, I was tested. Every head is. We use a Yamanaka, your commands are different in power and subtly more complicated. I still knew they were foreign. Asking for a little respect and your birth right, isn't what I would call exuberant." She saw my attempts to manipulate her as cute. That hurt my pride more than I would like to admit.
"About the marriage contracts." I said.
"Sure, whatever the three maids won't be an issue. If I tell them to suck my clit with or without the seal around their necks, they suck. Your sister will be pissed. She likes Abal more than you realize. The giant of a woman has a soft spot for the brat as well. They will be hard to break up. Mind control aside. Ghunwah follows my lead. If she is to become your baby factory, well I use the butt regardless." My god this woman was a cavalier at heart.
"So, I just need to get Sakura to agree to it. Not too bad, I just have to get over her prudishness and she will happily join in." I said. My mother snorted.
"That pinkette of yours is as territorial as a wild cat. If she agrees, she is likely to piss on you to mark you as hers first." My mother said. I had never experienced this side of her. Had I knocked a screw loose with the commands.
"Thank you for finally living up to my expectations. For the first time since the two of you were born. The fate of the Tono isn't so bleak." I blinked at her owlishly. That was it. Stress, was that why she had so much sex with Ghunwah. Or did she have some sort of personality disorder. Were other kunoichi like that?
"Well this is where we part ways. Mother, I hope you have a good rest of the day. I have to be at the gate in the morning by five to go on a C rank." She nodded.
"That's good son, I'm going to go get drunk and build a training program. It's to get you ready to take over the facility, as quickly as possible. I prefer to rule over the hospital, rather than an underground research facility. The stress isn't worth it. Nor are the underground monsters below." I stopped at her words. Monsters?
"Monsters?" I asked.
"Chakra and psi are highly radioactive. Below the lab there is another gate. For a century, beasts developed below. No one has been down there in years. The last team was nothing but Jonin and they were eaten alive." I was shaken a bit by her words. These monsters may be on even terms with me.
I decided, at that moment to leave a team of clones in charge of it. Better yet, I could recruit Sasuke and Naruto, we could start a business together.
My mother cheerily walked up the wall and out of the pit. After a few moments, I leapt up. Wind buffeted my trench coat. Anko insisted we start dressing like her.
Was it wrong of me to wear a red trench coat, with a black undershirt. Pieces of spider carapace was layered around my ribs. The pieces looked like bones mounted on my chest. I looked like a 5ft 8in tall gothic creature. A helmet was in the make out of bear bone and spider legs.
Sakura liked and hated the look. She said, 'I looked good in a dangerous sort of way.' If I were taller, then maybe it would work. Paraphrasing, though I might be, the words were the truth. I needed height and power. I had a collection of life energy saved from draining that abomination.
Programs used psi to fund their affects. The better a psycher understood what they wanted and could visualize it, the more likely that program would come to be. With life force, I had several thousand-people worth of funding. Their souls have long departed leaving behind the natural energy, that made up their forms. Without a sense of self to guide the energy, it remained just that energy.
I built a program, that affected my body. It would help me grow taller perhaps 8ft or more. The energy would ensure my muscles grew larger and more efficient. Finally, it would boost my recovery time and healing factor. The program, I began to construct felt more like a ritual.
That is why, I stopped what I was doing. A stray thought could wreck the program. I needed a better way, a safer way, to orchestrate it. Fuinjutsu of my own design. A team of classic shadow clones were running through the Fuinjutsu in the library, as quickly as possible. They would find the answers I needed.
It would take the creation of my own fuinjutsu. Seals that only mean something to me. I would need to build a codex, create basic seals, and create known works of the art; with my own codex. It would take time, but I had that five and a half months of it.
Later
Sakura was waiting for me. I was on a winning streak, and it was time to go all the way. Sakura was in the market going through stores and comparing prices. Naruto and Sasuke were with her.
"Hey guys and girl. What are you up to?" I said. Naruto turned with an annoyed expression on his face. When he saw me his eyes brightened?
"Yusuke, what are you doing here. It's getting late shouldn't you be with your team in the forest of death." Naruto said, I shrugged.
"We have a joint mission tomorrow. My crazy sensei got it in her head we needed a C rank. Team seven was already going on one so the more the merrier." Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
"Don't worry we aren't getting the same pay as you. We need a C rank for experience more than pay. Anko sensei sells off the carcasses of the animals we kill. She gives us a cut of the profit. Though, for the longest time we thought it was for our D rank missions." Sakura chuckled.
"That's were all that money was coming from. I had thought it was strange that your wardrobe suddenly upgraded. I guess I have Anko to thank for that." I raised an eyebrow. Whatever she had planned, I should probably warn her about the danger of messing with an insane person.
"Wait how do you know about his new clothes Sakura chan." She looked over at Naruto then back at me.
"Naruto, Yusuke and I have been going out for two weeks now. Ever sense we graduated in fact. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you." She was feeling nothing but relief, that this was getting over with.
"That's good for the two of you." The dejection in his voice was loud and clear.
"Naruto cut it out. There are so many women in Konoha, if only you looked. My team mate has orange hair." He perked up at that.
"How orange are we talking about?" I pointed at his jacket. The grin that lit his face, put the sun to shame.
"Now that we have lame introductions out of the way. We have to acquire a week's worth of supplies." Sasuke said. I nodded to him.
"Where is the mission heading. The Hokage skimped on the details. He was more interested, in my team and how we were doing." I said.
"The land of wave." Sakura added.
"Thank you, Sakura, I can always count on you. So, swamp land. We have to buy tents for swamp land." The rest of my fellow genin looked uncomfortable.
"That is going to be very expensive. If we added our funds together, we could buy two tents." Sasuke said. He had a sour look on his face.
I pulled out a fat stack of bills. The hokage wasn't joking when he said we didn't need the money. Hunting in the forest of death was a dangerous and very lucrative job. I wouldn't recommend it on anyone.
"I will buy three tents, that should cover the group. Though the customer should sleep in the same tent as kekashi." I said.
As we walked towards the exit of the market district Sasuke gave me a look. "I will see you later Sakura. Sasuke and I have some fighting to do." I said.
"What are you talking about. Teme why do you want to fight Yusuke. I'm the only one you should worry about." Naruto said.
"This isn't about you dobe. This is between men. When two powerful beings encounter each other, it's only natural to fight out who is in the lead." Sasuke said. I nodded and began to power up.
"Shall we take this to training ground seven. You seem in the need of a handy cap." I said.
"Even with both hands behind my back. You couldn't touch me. Loser." We walked into training ground 7. He was at the one end of the clearing, I was at the other.
I let my body fill with chakra. The energy, I kept under tight control was unleashed. Muscles tightened in preparation. Sasuke took an interceptor stance. An aura of chakra and psi raged around me.
The memories of multiple spars moved my body into a favored stance. "Stop it the both of you. This won't prove a thing." I turned to Sakura. Her pink braid blew in the wind. Her eyes were a deep green, I could get lost in them. She was so young and innocent. I couldn't help but picture that innocence lost. Outside of Konoha the world was dangerous.
When I looked back at Sasuke. I saw the old man. A piece of the old man's astral power rested inside the boy.
He launched himself at me and delivered a series of balanced kicks. His movements were never wasted, always they moved to the next form. I waited for an opening and delivered a palm thrust to his chest. Fire erupted and a log appeared in its place.
My legs were swept out from under me. One of my hands touched the ground and I yanked myself from his combo. Wind from a kick passed by my head.
I dashed away to get some distance. He went through some hand seals and unleashed the fire ball jutsu. I replaced with a log. The log burned to ash.
Now that we had some distance, he began to throw shuriken and kunai at me. I raised my hand. They stopped the weapons hovered midair and let then fell to the ground.
Chakra filled my lungs, as I did the hand seals for great fire ball jutsu. My fire ball was larger than the Uchiha's. It crashed into the ground and dug a deep trench. He dodged to the side and I released the jutsu before it burned down the forest.
"Your good, but I'm an Uchiha." Sasuke said. He moved through hand signs for a new jutsu. "Phoenix flower jutus," he said as multiple small fire balls crashed around me. It was a set up.
The Sasuke at the far end was an illusion. The real Sasuke was jumped from the ground and delivered a round house kick to the side of my head. I blocked it and tagged his leg. It went numb.
He looked at me stunned, then stumbled. Without the use of that leg he wouldn't be able to dodge my next jutsu. I went through the hand seals and unleashed a fire ball once again. Kekashi appeared and dragged Sasuke out of the way. The fire ball dissipated just before it touched the ground where Sasuke was.
"Oh, so you weren't after my student's life. My bad it seems it was only a friendly spar. To think, I was going to have you thrown in jail for the attempted murder of a Konoha shinobi." I looked over at the cyclops. Shrugging, I straightened up.
"Sorry about that. I must have gotten carried away. But yea it was just a friendly spar, that went a little far with the fire jutsu. Maybe I shouldn't have paralyzed his leg." I said. Sakura snorted so loudly, that I could hear it from across the clearing.
"Well I hope you got all that out of your system. Now I going to take Sasuke to the hospital, to get his leg checked out. So, expect an early morning tomorrow. I can't wait to get on the road with all the genin." He disappeared with a Shunshin.
"Shanaro," Sakura yelled, as she went to knock me over the head. I of course dodged it. My pimp hand raised to strike her down but I held it at bay for now.
"What the hell was that all about?" She demanded.
"Sakura relax, it was just a guy thing. You wouldn't understand." She opened her mouth. I grabbed her chin and jammed my tongue in her mouth.
"Later Sakura see you in the morning." I shunshinned and left her there in the clearing.
Chapter end
Sorry, I meant to get this out during July 4th but didn't manage it. Things are happening, Sasuke isn't a match for Yusuke right now but he gets the sharingan soon.
