Naruto of the Six Eyes
Yo. I won't bore you with excuses for the lateness of this upload, I've been slacking these months. Still, I want to thank everyone who has read this story and those who continue to show support through a follow, favourite or review it means a lot to me. To make up for the lack of updates I've written ahead of the release and am nearing the end of the wave arc, so this will be the first of 2 chapters involving the Wave arc and the next one is almost complete and will be uploaded likely by Friday...Maybe. Anyway, with that out of the way. Let's get it.
Konoha South Gate – Naruto
With Kakashi having finally arrived Team 7 was set to head off on their first journey beyond the Leaf Village walls, they were to embark on a C – rank mission to escort Tazuna, a bridge builder from Nami no Kuni (The Land of Waves) back to his home, protecting him from any run of the mill bandits he may encounter along his path, and supporting him until the completion of his bridge construction. At least that was the mission as viewed from the surface, but when one looked underneath the underneath, there was more brewing than a simple escort mission. After Kakashi's arrival the somewhat confident and relaxed mood that had previously settled over both the team and their charge had evaporated, tempers and nerves were now running high for most of the group, though for different reasons.
Naruto first looked to his fellow Genin team and classmates, they appeared nervous, if the constant twitching of their hands and repositioning of their feet was anything to go by. Sakura was more obvious, the fear and apprehension plain to see on her face as well as in her body language, she had improved as much as one can in a few months of basic training, nothing new with her individual skills, but more polished movement and other basics along with the team exercises drilled into them. She had done well to apply herself properly to physical training, likely for the first time in her life as her preferred field always was the theoretical side of shinobi life, though she still complained about it constantly.
Sasuke was much better at hiding his nerves, the only give aways being his clenched teeth, jumpy eyes that moved from one thing to the next like he was already scanning his surroundings for enemies, and his generally more tense and rigid posture than was usual for him.
But what both of them had in common, though more evident and stronger in Sasuke, was the fire burning in their eyes, the determination and excitement to go on a mission of this magnitude and further themselves. Naruto would consider that more than enough for them to be qualified for this mission, should it go as planned...
Tuzuna, though showing the same signs of nervousness as his teammates was doing so for much different reasons, reasons Naruto was still working out, but thought he had the general gist of.
'Basically, he's full of shit' Naruto thought to himself. 'From the worry about our teams strength when he first met and saw us, to even requesting a new squad with stronger shinobi, he's worried about more than generic run of the mill bandits he may not even encounter. No, there's something or someone specific he has in mind that might be targeting him'. Continuing to consider this Naruto decided that there was nothing that needed to be done, he could allow this to play out as the Hokage and his Sensei had likely planned, though he was unsure exactly as to what that plan would entail.
Speaking of his Sensei the man had arrived a few minutes ago and was in the process of signing them out of the village. Appearing to have finished with that he began making his way back over to them. Kakashi gave nothing away, he walked with the exact same ease as always, his face already mostly covered gave even less away, as his only open eye was shut in a smile as he approached.
"Ok is everyone ready to go? Remember once we set off, we won't be back until this mission is complete, so make sure you're ready." Kakashi said after gathering the group together.
With everyone confirming their preparedness and Tazuna antsy to get a move on the group departed the Leaf, moving under the large gates and walls of the village and out into the endless sea of trees surrounding them. Getting into a standard formation with Naruto standing in front, Sakura on the left side, Sasuke on the right side and Kakashi at the back they surrounded Tazuna leaving him to walk in the middle of their formation and began walking along the path leading away from their home at a sedate pace. Having a civilian within the group meant that they would have to travel at civilian speeds, which meant days filled with nothing but walking awaited them.
After a few hours of walking in uncomfortable silence, at least it was uncomfortable for her, Sakura spoke up to ask their client a question, "excuse me, Mr. Tazuna?" the man grunted, barely turned his head to her and paused his flask at his lips for merely a second before taking his swig as intended.
"WHat?" he asked with blatant annoyance at the girl laced within his drunk and slurred voice.
"Well, I was just wondering what the Land of Waves is like? I read that it's a large trading hub especially with shipping goods. If you've hired foreign shinobi that must mean that you don't have your own right?". Sakura asked after a brief moment of hesitation from his clear frustration at being spoken to.
Tazuna almost seemed to flinch briefly as she mentioned their shipping industry which Naruto noticed and filed away, Kakashi appeared to be ignoring them off in his own little world reading a book, but Naruto assumed he was listening intently as well.
"W-well you sure know your stuff girly haha" the bridge builder stuttered, "Wave was...erm is a beautiful place just off the coast of Hi no Kuni (The Land of Fire), it's far too small to have its own shinobi village, and the people there aren't so trusting of you shinobi folks anyway" he answered.
Sakura looked shocked by that revelation, "Why wouldn't they trust us?" she asked back.
The bridge builder finally stopped drinking and set his flask away into his bag to answer the girl. "Well for a small civilian town who deals in trade, having you shinobi mulling around throwing those dangerous abilities about without care for collateral makes people nervous. The abilities shinobi have may seem to be the norm for you, who's grown up cosy in a big shinobi village like Konoha, but they are well beyond supernatural to your average working folk in Wave, powers like that are seen as unnatural just because they are so rare outwith shinobi settlements".
The answer from Tazuna was an interesting one, though it seemed to upset Sakura more than satiate her curiosity. Naruto though understood, his abilities would already be considered incredibly strong in any of the shinobi villages, but in a small out of the way village like Tazuna's home? They would be enough for him to rule them as some kind of deity. To live your life knowing there were people with powers beyond your wildest imagination out there, and that one day they might set their sights on you would make anyone nervous.
Tazuna continued his speech to Sakura explaining how The Wave citizens lived their lives, fending for their own and how being reliant on the sea and shipping had left them somewhat cut off from the mainland both literally and in terms of news and communication. But as he spoke Naruto was only now half paying attention to the man's words, instead his focus was on a seemingly nondescript puddle along their path.
"And that's partly why I'm building this bridge, the people of Wave have been too cut off from society we need this connection to the mainland so we aren't so dependent on shipping trade" Tazuna was getting worked up as he spoke, but as he finished he seemed to shut in on himself, briefly glancing to the Jōnin among them as if to make sure the man hadn't heard what he just said. Though instead of getting the confirmation he was after, he was met with the sight of the man charged with his protection being shredded into two pieces as two people appeared at either side of him with a spiked chain connecting their hands.
Time stood still for a brief moment as blood flew everywhere and the Jōnins separated corpse fell to the ground with a wet thump. Tazuna fell into shock unable to look away from the mangled body of the strongest among them.
The two shinobi, who were covered in long black coats and masks, almost reminiscent of breathing apparatus used underwater, looked to their true target now that the biggest threat to their mission was dead. Seeing Tazuna in his state of shock they took the opportunity granted to them and shot forwards once again aiming to bisect him as they had done with the weak grey-haired man.
Tazuna seeing he was now the target they had in their sights attempted to scramble backwards and run away, only for him to trip over his own feet due to his panic and fall helplessly on his ass. Time seemed to slow for him as he watched his soon to be murderers approach him, seeing his reflection looking back at him from their spiked chain, he looked upon the pitiful state he was reduced to. All he could think about in that moment before death was his family he would leave behind.
'Tsunami, Inari... Kaiza. I'm sorry.' With that last thought Tazuna expected his death to come and with closed eyes awaited the pain he assumed would soon overtake him. Only it never did. When he managed to build up the courage, he opened his eyes and was met with the sight of the dark haired Genin standing protectively before him. He couldn't see clearly what was beyond the boy in front of him due to a large cloud of dust that had been kicked up.
With Naruto – 10 seconds ago
Naruto continued to discretely observe the 'puddle' as they walked, the Six Eyes allowing him to clearly see the genjutsu at play, as well as the two shinobi who were using it to hide. Looking over his shoulder under the guise of listening more closely to what the bridge builder was saying he looked to his Sensei knowing the man would have spotted it as well. Kakashi only looked over the top of his book smiled and using the hand stuffed in his pocket made the gesture to hold back, knowing that the Six Eyes Naruto possessed would allow him to see the gesture despite the fabric blocking it from everyone else's view.
With instructions from his Sensei, Naruto allowed the events to play out without interfering, even when he watched Kakashi be torn to shreds he didn't panic, instead he waited. When the two mysterious shinobi attackers looked for their next target and settled on Tazuna he didn't act, when he watched them begin to charge forwards from their position, near his Sensei's corpse, and ready their weapon to kill his charge who had fallen over trying to escape he remained still. Only when he seen Sasuke flash in front of Tazuna, kunai at the ready to fend off the attackers did Naruto act.
Charging forwards faster than even any of the surrounding shinobi could see he delivered and axe kick to the centre of the chain connecting the two adversaries, activating the neutral application of Limitless around his leg while doing so. The force of the kick pinned the chain into the ground and kicked up a large cloud of dust as his foot met the ground. The two attackers' momentum was halted abruptly as their arms connected by the chain were roughly pulled back. Both men shouted in pain as their shoulders were dislocated from their sockets by the force of their own momentum being stopped. Naruto then appeared in between the two men arms outstretched, and hands pointed outwards like two guns.
"Chakra Technique Reversal: Red – Twin Guns" was all that the attackers heard before they were met with an oppressing force slamming into them, the force pushed them apart snaping the chain connecting them and sending them flying out either side of the cloud of dust. Their flight was only halted when their backs hit into the trees which surrounded the path on both sides with bone crushing force.
The use of Red also cleared the area of dust allowing the onlookers to see Naruto standing in front of a gaping hole in the path, his hands now down by his side and his brow creased in annoyance.
'Tch. Still can't get a proper hold on that damn technique, the amount of Chakra I used there was easily equal to an A-ranked jutsu, but simply overloading it with more Chakra doesn't actually improve the power at all. As long as I can't get a proper handle of Chakra Reversal the output will either be limited like it was now, or the technique could outright fail to initiate'.
When the onlookers turned their heads, they could see both attackers sitting slumped at the base of two trees on opposite sides of the path from one another, they looked to be barely holding onto consciousness and unable to move, and if the indents into the trees were any measure of how hard they hit them it was understandable why they weren't.
Looking back to Naruto they found him staring down at the body of their Sensei. Upon the reminder of his tragic and gruesome fate Sakura puked her guts out on the side of the path, her body crumbling as she was forced onto her knees, unable to even care she was sitting in her own sick, her body wracked with trembles and she cried, the release of the build-up of all the emotions she had experienced.
She had turned when she heard something behind her and so was spared the sight of Kakashi being bisected, but the sight of his body lying in half on the ground was just as sickening. Only to then be unable to do anything as her Sensei's murderers charged at the man she was to protect, she watched as Sasuke took action straight away and hated herself for her weakness being shown in front of him. She felt, at first, some relief that Naruto must have clearly been in a similar position to her, as she hadn't seen him move yet, only to have that thrown back in her face when it was reviled he had delt with the situation with no difficulty. Not only was he unaffected by the fear of being attacked but he appeared unaffected by the death of their Sensei.
She looked up at Naruto, finally able to tear her eyes away from the bisected body, only to see him looking up into the trees. She followed his line of sight but didn't see anything, until a blur shot through the trees from where they were looking.
Sakura felt all hope leave her, of course there were more shinobi surrounding them, they were likely stronger and were going to kill them now that Naruto had defeated the other two. But that was not what happened. The figure that landed before Naruto with a hand placed on the boys shoulder and an all too familiar eye smile on his face was her dead sensei.
She blinked a few times, unsure if this was an illusion being created from the tears in her eyes or the thumping of her head. But he remained there, his eye smile now directed at Sasuke, she even faintly heard words come out of his mouth, not that she could understand them over the pounding of her heart and all the blood rushing through her ears.
Lastly his smile was directed to her, though it faltered and became an apologetic and sad look as the man took in her state. Sakura looked from her very much alive Sensei to the dead one laying only feet from her on the ground, only instead of the horrific sight she knew was there, she was only able to see a log shredded into two pieces.
Kakashi brushed past Naruto as the boy looked over his shoulder and also took in the state of his female teammate. He arrived in front of her and knelt down on one knee. She looked up into his eyes and the tears started again though this time they were joyful ones. She screamed and cried as she lurched forwards, wrapping her arms around him in a desperate hug.
"S-Ss-SEN..." she muttered out in between sobs and sniffles. Kakashi only hugged her tighter.
"I'm sorry Sakura, I know that must have been horrible to witness but I promise I did not take such drastic action for no reason. I needed to confirm something of vital importance for this mission." Kakashi spoke with a gentle and comforting voice. Standing up and bringing Sakura to her feet he allowed her to calm herself and only when she nodded her head to him did he leave her to stand on her own.
Naruto kept his eyes on Sakura as Kakashi took purposeful strides towards Tazuna, he hadn't expected such a strong reaction from her, but he understood. It's one thing to think you have prepared yourself for whatever may happen on a mission, but to actually encounter it, not only on their first mission but also on one where these types of situations should never occur is a totally separate matter. To have this suddenly thrust onto her and to be confronted by the idea that she is not safe on missions through the death of someone she considers to be an immovable protector, one who has bested the best they had to offer time and time again, would be overwhelming.
But as Kakashi had told her, he had not made that decision and acted out that play for no reason, it was to the benefit of the mission that their attackers believed Kakashi to be dead, after all once who they consider to be the main threat is out of the picture, their next target is likely to be the true main objective of their attack. Kakashi was simply in the way of observing who they were truly after because of his perceived power and strength as the Jōnin.
'That's why I held off from moving after Kakashi was killed, if I had acted too quickly, they wouldn't have shown us their objective and Kakashi's plan would have been wasted. Plus allowing Sasuke to come to terms with the dangers and threats on a mission and chose to act in the defence of our employer for himself was important, it would do him no good to come to his rescue and spare him the hardship of making that decision, it would only hold him back, though seeing the look on his face might have been worth it.' Naruto thought to himself.
Turning his attention to the raven-haired boy Naruto could practically see the adrenaline pumping through him. Sasuke had done well to react and put himself in a position to defend their client, even after witnessing the death of his Sensei, and Kakashi had told him as much when he revealed himself as alive. Naruto could still see the tension in his shoulders, just because he acted doesn't mean he wasn't scared or nervous, but being able to act in spite of those fears was a massive and essential step for him to take.
The two boys made eye contact briefly and gave each other a small nod, both glad for the others safety, though Sasuke did allow his eyes to linger on the damaged path after Naruto had moved onto looking at their Sensei and client.
Kakashi approached Tazuna and allowed the fury boiling within to show. Of course, he knew this mission was more than his team originally bargained for, he even already knew the man was lying to them. But that didn't change the fact his team, one barely out of the academy had just had the misfortune of combatting what Kakashi knew were easily Chūnin level shinobi. After seeing the effect it had had on Sakura, oh Kakashi was seriously angry, but was he actually angry at Tazuna? It was his plan that had scared Sakura so much, and it was his negligence that had his team, who hadn't yet even learned tree climbing with Chakra application, out on this mission. Deciding that he would have to make up for that he knew it was time his team moved on from basic team drill training and began training in earnest, after all he had already decided that they were worthy long ago.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" Kakashi created two clones who moved over to each of the opposing shinobi who were now beginning to pull themselves up, the clones vanished quickly into the woods to... extract some information.
Stopping before Tazuna who was still sprawled out on his ass Kakashi crouched before him. "So Mr. Tazuna. I think you've got a lot to tell me. So, its best you get started quickly and explain why there are Chūnin level shinobi targeting you despite only applying for a C-rank mission."
Looking into the eyes of the shinobi before him Tazuna decided it would be best for his health and wellbeing to be honest with him, and so after taking a moment to steady himself he stood from his seat on the ground and prepared to divulge everything.
"Okay, Okay, I understand. You are right I wasn't honest with you. The truth is, The Wave needs this bridge for more than just reconnecting to the mainland. A year or so ago the people of my village were approached by a wealthy businessman, named Gato, he revealed an interest in purchasing some land and setting up business in Wave, using the large shipping industry available there to grow his trade."
The rest of team 7 now gathered around Tazuna as well, and at the name Gato Sakura perked up. "Gato! You mean Gato of Gato Company?!" Sakura exclaimed.
"That's right" Tazuna confirmed. "Gato is one of the richest men in the world, possibly the richest outside of the Daimyō (feudal lords) and royal families. At first many of the people thought this would be a good idea and readily sold him property, they expected that there would be a boon in traffic through the island from ship crew if trade and shipping were to increase. However, Gato used this small foothold he had garnered to monopolise the Land of Waves."
Tazuna paused, then with a slight tremble in his hand took a drink from his flask. He continued on with his story after composing himself and taking brief comfort in the alcohol he always carried.
"He set about isolating the country, firstly by taking control of the seas surrounding Wave. He used the pretence of trade and his shipping company to hide the fact that the waters were now crawling with his ships, no one could enter or exit without his knowledge and permission, and with no access to the sea our isolation only grew. In controlling the sea, Gato controlled Wave, there was no food unless Gato provided it, at a cost of course, there was no fresh water, unless it was bought from Gato Company, there was no medical treatment, unless it was being paid to Gato. Our entire lives became reliant on him, and with that in his hands he could do as he pleased. Without any link to the outside world no one knew what was happening in Wave, it was as if it was all taking place behind drawn curtains. Gato went about setting up ports for trade using the island as a place to freely stop off and resupply. Usually, ports would charge companies for that, and the surrounding area would make revenue through shops and hotels for the ships crew that would need rest and provisions. However, with Gato controlling Wave as he does, he could do it for free. But of course, trade isn't all Gato deals in".
"What do you mean by that?" Kakashi asked. Naruto assumed he already knew the answer to that but wanted Tazuna to explain it himself.
"Gato is known for his wealth and his successful business Gato Company, but that's only the surface of everything that man deals in. He's a disgusting man who cares only for his own wealth and status, he has aspirations of becoming so influential that he gets invited into the Daimyo's courts, where he would be practically untouchable. To achieve that goal, he has his hands dirtied in anything you can imagine, drugs, money laundering, human trafficking, prostitution and slavery, they are all but a means to an end for him, only something that will quicken his ascent in the world. Wave is a suitable base to run his dealings through, not only because of his control over the people but also its geographical advantage of being isolated, he can do as he pleases without fear of being outed for his crimes."
The more Naruto listened the more he was certain the Hokage already knew of the situation in the Land of Waves, Gatos corrupt dealings and the potential danger he posed if he was looking to expand his sphere of influence into Hi no Kuni, and that he and Kakashi had an overarching plan that went beyond Team 7's mission to simply escort and protect Tazuna.
'In helping them to establish a connection with the mainland while also defending or liberating them from this Gato we also establish a measure of gratitude and build trust. It's likely that the first people they will seek out to trade or do business with in the future will be the home of their saviours. So, we're here to establish good rapport and forward the Leaf's interests through an alliance with the liberated Land of Waves. But in order to successfully complete our mission Gato will need to be dealt with, a cancerous tumour like him would only continue to come back and haunt you unless it was completely removed, and if he's posing a threat to Konoha and Hi no Kuni in the future then... Getting rid of Gato looks like were helping the People of Wave to an outside spectator but is also of benefit to Konoha. Not bad old man, not bad.'
Just as Naruto finished that thought the two clones of Kakashi returned from the woods, each of them dragging the men who had attacked them back towards the main group, where they unceremoniously dropped them by the feet of Kakashi and Tazuna before poofing out of existence.
Kakashi seemed to close his eye to ponder something briefly before he began speaking. "Well then, allow me to introduce you to Gōzu and Meizu, who together are called the demon brothers, these guys are, or were, Chūnin level missing ninja from Kirigakure no Sato (Village Hidden in the Mist) who went rouge after their resistance made a failed assassination attempt on the Mizukage". That particular piece of information caught the groups attention.
"They were tasked by their leader to assassinate Tazuna during his return trip, it seems Gato is getting antsy about the bridges construction and wants to cut the progress off at the head, and by 'head' I mean your head, Tazuna." Kakashi continued.
"It's not surprising that he would target Tazuna, but if he's so nervous about the bridge, why not just destroy it? Based on what Tazuna has told us, it's not like Wave could afford to start over if he did." Naruto asked.
Kakashi looked to his student and pondered that question. After a moment of thought he answered, "As I mentioned these demon brothers were sent after Tazuna by their leader, they took a suicide pill before I could find out their identity, but I did manage to find out that it's one of the rouge members of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist." The mention of that famous group caused Sakura to pale a little. She had learned all about them in history class, if you were to try and compare them to a group within the Leaf village, in terms of power, prestige and notoriety, she could only think to compare them to the Legendary Sannin, the three students of Sarutobi Hiruzen, their Third Hokage. They were the most powerful subordinates of their respective Kage, but both groups had produced less than steller people. Kakashi continued, "If Gōzu and Meizu are under orders from one of The Seven its prudent to guess that they've split up for a reason, one force to deal with the target, in this case Mr. Tazuna, and another to work on something in the Land of Waves during his absence. It could be that you're exactly right Naruto, and that the bridge has been targeted, but I think it's unlikely. I Believe Gato wishes to crush all hope and ideas of a resistance, by killing Tazuna he makes it so Wave no longer has the will to continue building the bridge but also kills the only person with the construction skills to do it, allowing the unfinished bridge to stand means there will always be that massive looming reminder for the people of Wave that the last time they resisted him they suffered". Kakashi finished off.
Now came the moment of truth for Kakashi, he was a little put off about continuing, knowing now that a member of the Seven Swordsmen could be awaiting them in Wave, but he also knew that his team wouldn't be the only ones on this mission. The Hokage wished to free Wave, and so was sending an ANBU team to infiltrate while Kakashi and his team distracted Gato and pulled his attention. Without his team continuing, the Black ops mission couldn't continue either, but forcing Genin to face a foe of this calibre could- no, should be fatal, a complete suicide mission with no hope of victory. But... his team weren't ordinary Genin were they.
"Naruto" Kakashi spoke getting the boys attention, "You said you were willing to talk about your abilities, and I have no reason to doubt you on that, but we haven't got around to having that conversation yet. Whether I even give you the option to decide if you want to continue this mission will depend on this so really consider it. Could you support me in a fight with one of The Seven, without putting your life at risk?"
With Tazuna having explained the current situation in the Land of Waves to Team 7 they now had a choice to make, well at least the illusion of choice. Naruto had to admit Kakashi had played this out nicely. Technically, if they were following protocol, in a situation like their current circumstance a team unfit or unqualified to handle mission parameters exceeding that of the original mission should turn back to Konoha or request backup. However, with the defeat of the now identified Demon Brothers, and the knowledge gained from their interrogation, that an even greater threat awaited them, it complicated things. A threat of this magnitude should make it a no brainer that they should return to the village, after-all their client had grossly misrepresented the level of this mission. However, there was clearly more to this mission that he and his fellow Genin were not aware of, and it was apparently hinging entirely on Naruto's capabilities.
'Kakashi doesn't know my limits, he has an idea only based on what he's seen from me in training and one brief encounter with enemy ninja, he's working with an unknown variable, one that has the potential to sway his decision both ways. He wants to continue in order to fulfil whatever task the Hokage has delegated to him, but he also won't endanger our lives if we cannot stack up to it. He likely hadn't expected to encounter a Shinobi powerful enough that he couldn't handle them comfortably by his lonesome, and now that he knows there is someone of that calibre he can't guarantee that he can protect us. It'll hurt Sasukes pride that he's been overlooked here but he's weak in comparison to the enemy we will face, a more powerful than average fish, but still a baby he can easily be eaten up by an adult fish of a lower calibre... that analogy was shit Naruto, but the point still stands'.
Looking to his Sensei Naruto made his decision "Support you? I'd win."
AN
And done, this was a long time coming over half a year since my last update and this story is even now nearing its one-year anniversary, and I've only just finished the 7th chapter, a little disappointing ahaha. Sorry about the delay but I do still plan to finish this story though it might take me a while so hopefully some of you are willing to stick around for the long haul. But I wanted to ask the readers about something, as I'm sure most of you know Jujutsu Kasien and Naruto both take loads of inspiration from Buddhism and Shinto beliefs. In no way do I claim to be well versed in those beliefs but I do find them very interesting, so I pose this question; would you enjoy seeing some more aspects brought into this story from those sources? For example the ability Amaterasu, who is the Sun God in Shinto could have a more in depth involvement or Kurama, he is based on Kitsune from Shinto folk lore, and they from what I can tell tend to be particularly cunning creatures, often taking human form, particularly attractive women's forms, and seducing and charming young men. They are pranksters but are also pretty morally ambiguous, often using their shapeshifting abilities to turn into massive monsters or as mentioned humans. Sukuna as well can be linked back to the real life inspiration from the book Nihon Shoki. Anyway, I know those kinds of changes to a Character like Kurama, if I decided to do so, could be very polarizing so thought I'd see what everyone thinks. Please be sure to review if you have anything to say or message me directly if you wish, both positive and negative feedback is appreciated and taken into account. Thanks for reading and I'll see you next chapter where we finish the Wave arc :)
