CH-III
Kakashi Hatake and his team of Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Sai make their way back to country of Wave. Kakashi has spiky silver hair often oriented to his left-side, dark grey eyes and wears the standard konoha jonin attire. Sasuke has slicked black hair with one bang flowing free and black eyes. He wears a navy blue, long-sleeve shirt with a high collar, white cargo shorts, and white arm warmers. Sakura has long pink hair and jade-green eyes, wearing a red qipao top. Accompanying this were black gloves, low-heel, knee-high boots, black shorts underneath a short pink apron skirt, and pink elbow protectors.
Sai has short, straight black hair, and dark eyes which contrast with his translucent-looking pale skin. He wears a short black-and-grey jacket with red straps. He also carries a tip-less tantō on his back. The rest of his outfit consists of a high-collar midriff shirt, black pants, shinobi sandals and gloves with his index and thumb fingers exposed.
"Why are going back to this Backwater country" sasuke asks and sakura nods.
"Yeah Kakashi-sensei" sakura adds. Kakashi looks up from his Icha-icha with a eye-smile, "Hokage-sama requested us to return to aid Tazuna-san" he says.
"Or rather force him to sign over trading rights to Konoha in exchange for protection" kakashi thought. The group finds a boat to take them to wave but once they arrive, find the village was in high spirits.
"Strange Tazuna-san told us the village was on their last legs because of Gato" kakashi thought. One of the villagers sees them and the atmosphere grows cold as they make their way to tazuna's house.
"What's with these people" sakura says and sai smiles.
"Maybe they see how ugly you are Hag" sai says and dodges a fist.
"SHUT UP SAI!" sakura shouts. Team-7 reach tazuna's home as he is exiting and sees them, "Tazuna-san" kakashi says but tazuna only frowns.
"What do You want" tazuna says, coldly. Kakashi frowns under his mask but eye-smiles, "We have come to protect you from Gato" he says but tazuna scoffs.
"You're too late.. Gato was killed by King-san about a week ago" tazuna says and kakashi furrows his brow.
"King" kakashi asks, confused.
"Yes after you and your team abandoned me.. Zabuza came after me but King-san stepped in to save me.. The next day he brought Gato to the town square and froze him to death on the spot" tazuna explains.
"Froze" kakashi asks and tazuna nods.
"He just touched him and Gato froze like that" tazuna says, snapping his fingers.
"Well that is good Tazuna-san.. So where do you want us to guard you until your bridge is finished" kakashi says.
"I don't need guarding.. I paid for a C-rank but you all left" tazuna says but giggling catches their ears.
"Ufufufu this is the team that you hired Tazuna" a voice says. Tazuna turns as eto approaches, "Eto-san" he says. Eto looks over Team-7 with a curious expression on her bandaged face, "Other than the silver fox.. You look very weak.. No wonder you ran away" she says. Sasuke clenches his fist with a glare, "Who the Hell are you to speak to an Uchiha like that?!" he shouts.
"Yeah Sasuke-kun is an elite" sakura chimes in. Eto tilts her head but none could see her eyes but the empty sockets, "Uchiha never heard of them.. They must be weak like you" she says. Sasuke grits his teeth and reaches for his chokuto across his back but kakashi grabs his hand, "Maa-maa calm down Sasuke" kakashi says and turns to eto.
"Please do not antagonize my student.. Now can you tell me who you are" kakashi says, his voice calm but demanding. Eto giggles with her arms behind her back, "My name is Eto a friend of the One-eye King" she says.
"Who is this One-eye King" kakashi questions and eto giggles.
"He saved Tazuna and killed that disgusting creature Gato" eto replies.
"So as Tazuna said.. You cowards can leave now" eto adds, shooing them away and sasuke takes offense once again.
"Eto-san is right.. You can return to Konoha and tell your Hokage that it will a Long time before Wave will trust Konoha with a mission" tazuna says, walking off with a giggling eto.
"What do we do know Sensei" sai asks and kakashi sighs.
"We return home" kakashi says, as they head back to their boat.
*IX-Konohagakure no Sato-XI*
Kakashi stands before hiruzen as he gives his report on team-7's failure to restart their original mission while danzo, koharu and homura were also present.
"The One-eye King this Eto woman mentioned.. Was he present" danzo asks. Kakashi glances to the elder and shakes his head, "No Sir but Tazuna mentioned he froze Gato by simply touching him" he explains.
"A Kekkei Genkai" hiruzen comments but kakashi wasn't sure.
"I do not know Sandaime-sama" kakashi says.
"You're dismissed Kakashi" hiruzen says and kakashi excuses himself, "This One-eye King could pose a problem in the future" he says, after kakashi was gone.
"Indeed.. He saved that bridge-builder and derailed our plans of putting Wave under our thumb" danzo says.
"Agreed.. Should we put this One-eye King in the Bingo book to bring him in" koharu suggests.
"Perhaps send a squad of Ne to Find this Eto and bring her in to lure this One-eye King to us" danzo states. Hiruzen rests his chin on his propped up hands, "We do not need to be hasty.. Daimyo-sama has her eyes on us.. If we act needlessly.. That foolish youngster will come down on us" he asks.
"Why did her Father choose such an Idealistic fool.. Those of us age are only fit to Rule" homura comments.
"Indeed but for now we will go with Koharu's suggestion.. Label this One-eye King as a C-level entry to be brought to Konoha" hiruzen states and they all nod.
*lX-Amegakure-Xl*
In in steampunkesque village of perpetual rain stood a large tower with various metal faces adorning it. On the tongue of a metal face is a tall man with medium length spiky orange hair. He has six piercings, a metal bar through each ear, three studs through the side of its upper nose, and one spike stud on each end of the bottom lip but his most notable feature were his rippled patterned, purple eyes. He also wears a high collar black coat with red clouds.
"Nagato.. The others have arrived" a feminine voice says. Nagato turns to a woman with short, straight blue hair with a bun, amber eyes with lavender eye shadow and a labret piercing. She wears a similar coat to nagato but underneath is a revealing navy blue robe, with a large hemline on the front, and exposed her arms, her back, the lateral part of her breast and her belly, with her navel being surrounded by four more piercings. Instead of sandals and leg-warmers, she wears a pair of blue pants with white high heels.
"In public it is Pein.. Konan" pein says, stepping inside. Konan falls in step with pein as they head to a meeting room. Inside were three famous or rather infamous S-class shinobi of Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki and Sasori of the Red Sands. Itachi has onyx eyes under which were long, pronounced tear-troughs, jet-black hair that was pulled back in a low ponytail and his face was framed with centre-parted bangs that extended to his chin. He wears mesh armor with navy accents under an identical T-shirt with a simple white belt around the waist and dark blue pants.
Kisame is a very tall, muscular shinobi with distinctive shark-like appearance, complete with pale blue-grey skin. He has small, round, white eyes, three sets of curved facial markings under his eyes, gills on his shoulders and sharp triangular teeth with blue hair styled like a shark fin and wears a similar outfit to the others. Sasori has wide greyish brown eyes and short, mousy red hair with a hazy or dreamy look on his face, wearing the same outfit.
"I heard the Kyubi kid died" kisame comments. Itachi chews a stick of pocky with a nod, "Mitsuomi-kun did not deserve the life he had" he muses. The door opens as pein and konan enter, causing the other rise from their seats.
"We can start the meeting.. Sasori" pein says, taking a seat and konan standing next to him.
"As we know the Kyubi Jinchuriki was executed a few months ago" sasori starts and glances to itachi, "With his death.. Kuro-Nichibotsu will be forced to wait for the Kyubi to reform.. However they will go after the other Jinchuriki in the interim.. Also the Yellow-flash.. His wife the Aki-no-shi and Tsunade Senju have abandoned Konoha" he finishes. Itachi's eyes widen a slight fraction as pein rubs his chin, "Why would they abandon Konoha" pein asks.
"My spy told me they were shocked by the execution of the Jinchuriki" sasori replies. Konan glances to itachi, "The Aki-no-Shi was your Sensei at one time" she asks.
"She was and she is my Godmother.. She and Minato-sama were loyal to Konoha.. Something very serious must have happened to for them and Tsunade-sama to abandon Konoha" itachi states.
"Would they join Akatsuki to help us in our goal of Peace" pein asks but itachi shakes his head.
"That I do not know" itachi replies.
"Another thing is Konoha has acquired the Nanabi Jinchuriki called Fu" sasori comments and stares at pein, "Taki was Convinced to hand her over to them" he adds.
"I see.. Konoha will treat her similar to the Kyubi jinchuriki" pein says and rises from his seat, "For now we will continue to earn money and keep an eye on the other Jinchuriki.. We'll make sure Kuro-Nichibotsu can't get their hands on them" he says. The three slowly nod as they dispel revealing themselves as shadow clones, "What shall we do Pein" konan asks.
"The Yellow-flash was a student of Jiraiya like us but unlike our former Sensei.. He is a man of noble ideals.. We should make contact with him" pein says and konan slowly nods.
*lX-Fire Country Capital-Xl*
Mitsuomi quietly makes his way to the Fire temple, his goal to find anything on kushina and minato. It has been a week since he arrived in the capital and leads on the pair were scarce but the temple could yield fruit. Mitsuomi arrives at the temple as the monks there were going through several kata under the watch of a bald headed man with thick eyebrows. He wears standard attire of the ninja monk along with the sash worn by members of the Twelve Guardian Ninja group and went barefoot.
"Greetings stranger" the man says, approaching. Mitsuomi bows with hands in prayer as does the man, "I am Chiriku and its seems you know our ways" he says.
"I am King and yes I have encountered those of your school in my travels" mitsuomi says and looks towards the other monks, "Chiriku-san.. I wonder if you can help me" he adds.
"In what regard King-san" chiriku says, beckoning for mitsuomi to follow him. Chiriku leads mitsuomi to a viewing room, "Take a seat and I will prepare us some tea" he says, going to retrieve said items.
"Do you think Minato and Kushina came here" kurama asks and mitsuomi takes off his hood.
"It is a possibility.. The Daimyo trusts the Ninja monks and Chiriku is a member of the Twelve Guardians" mitsuomi thought. Chiriku soon returns with the items for an authentic tea ceremony, "So what do you seek King-san" he asks, starting on the tea.
"I am looking for someone who may come here or trained here at one time" mitsuomi says and chiriku looks up as he wicks the tea leaves.
"Many come here for reflection or training" chiriku says, pouring in the hot water.
"Noted but this person is well known in the Shinobi world mainly for her Clan's exploits" mitsuomi says, taking the cup from chiriku.
"The Aki-no-Shi" mitsuomi says, after taking a sip of tea. Chiriku freezes mid sip as his eyes meet the lone steel-blue eye of mitsuomi, "Why do you seek Her" he says, his voice denoting his seriousness. Mitsuomi could sense other monks were outside the viewing room, "I mean no harm to Her.. The contrary I am need of her help on certain matters" he says, drinking more tea.
"I sense no dishonesty in your words King-san but why do you seek Kushina-sama" chiriku states and pours mitsuomi more tea.
"A personal matter of sorts Chiriku-san" mitsuomi says.
"I see but Kushina-sama has left Fire-country" chiriku says, drinking his tea and mitsuomi frowns.
"Do know to where to" mitsuomi asks, finishing his tea and placing the cup down. Chiriku finishes his own tea, "All I can say.. It is a place where tears and hearts once froze but now warmth has come" he says.
"Duly noted.. Thank you for your time" mitsuomi says, rising to his feet but the door abruptly shoots opens.
"Chiriku-san.. We have intruders" a monk shouts. Chuiriku shoots to his feet and follows the monk with mitsuomi in tow. The three reach the outside as the main gate was open and one man is tossing another aside, while two others were standing on the gate with one holding a shakujo. He has white and long while worn-out hair with a pale long scar stretching diagonally across his face. He wears a purple qípáo-like garment that was lined with yellow, blue, and grey and straw sandals.
Next to him was a woman with long and straight dark brown hair with spherical earrings. Her makeup consists of red lipstick and an orange-based smokey eye shadow, blue eyes and wore a choker around her neck. Her outfit consists of a magenta qípáo, the cloth of which being decorated with black and tan stripes with light purple stockings. The man on the ground is a tall muscular man with short messy black hair. He has a very distinguished face including a broad jawline, pronounced forehead, and noticeable creases under his eyes. He wears qípáo-like outfit, which was green and sleeveless with yellow, blue, and purple stripe going down the edges and brown pants. He also had a brown undershirt and black elbow-bands covering from his biceps to forearms.
"Kazuma?!" chiriku shouts. Kazuma chuckles deeply with a sneer on his face, "Long time Chiriku.. I have come for my Son" he sneers. Mitsuomi looks over the situation but he senses one more, before grasping the air behind chiriku, shocking the man and kazuma.
"Clever skill set but ultimately futile" mitsuomi notes, the camouflage coming down to reveal a beautiful woman. She is a fairly tall and sports a slender frame and a shapely figure. She is noticeably beautiful, with blue-eyes and a beauty-mark under the left side of her lips. She had flowing maroon hair that reaches her hips with bangs that parted slightly to the right of her forehead and frames the sides of her face. She wears in a qípáo-like garment but rather scantily-clad, revealing her shoulders and upper back while the rest was form fitting. Her attire was dark-pink coloring with a lining of purple, grey, and yellow, and a matching disconnected arm warmers that reach down to her light-purple spandex shorts. She also wears a pair of black low-heel boots that reach her calves.
"Fufufu quite skilled" she purrs but mitsuomi only stares.
"Fuka you Failed" kazuma shouts. Fuka scoffs as she back jumps with a sneer on her face, "This one is dangerous" she shouts. Kazuma slams his shakjuo on the ground, "Fudo take out this newcomer.. Fuka find my Son" he orders. Fudo chuckles and walks forward as fuka rushes off but other monks gives chase, "King-san.. Will you aid us" chiriku asks.
"Noted I will deal with him.. Can you handle the other two" mitsuomi says. Kazuma glances to his partner, "Head to the graveyard Fuen.. Gather the bodies.. This will not take long" he says. Fuen smirks and leaps off as kazuma drops down, "Let us settle this Chiriku" says. Fudo stares at mitsuomi as chiriku engages kazuma, "You look weak little man" fudo sneers.
"Little but I am 5'11 Sir" mitsuomi says and fudo cracks his knuckles.
"Still small to me" fudo sneers, activating his Iwa no Yoroi.
"Now you can't even touch me" fudo sneers, swing a heavy right hook. Mitsuomi catches the fist with ease, shocking fudo but his eyes widen as mitsuomi reveals his Kakugan.
"Iwa no Yoroi.. Interesting but useless.. Espada de cero absoluto" mitsuomi says, point his hand. Fudo gasps in shock as an ice sword was sticking out his chest, "Wha... Th-the Hell?!" he says, dropping to his knees and slowly freezing from the inside.
"What the Hell?!" kazuma shouts, dodging chiriku's strikes. Mitsuomi pulls the ice sword free from fudo's corpse, "Kyu did you catch the stray!" he shouts. Kazuma turns and gasps as kurama was standing on the gate and under her arm was a deceased fuen.
"Impossible?!.. I didn't sense a thing" kazuma thought but a smirk forms, "No matter.. Fuka will her job" he thought. Suddenly a flare of dark chakra erupts from the temple, before fuka comes flying out with several thumps. From the smoke emerges a young monk in with straight shoulder-length, dull bluish-grey hair in an asymmetrical style with a single lock of hair falling into his face, and brown-color eyes. However the shocking part was the red chakra surrounding, causing kazuma to laugh loudly. Fuka starts to stir and grasps her bleeding shoulder, "Kazuma what is this?!" she shouts.
"My son Sora.. Your Kiss of death was enough to bring Its chakra to the surface" kazuma says, crazed look on his face. Fuka's eyes widen in horror as sora stalks forward, his bandaged hand bulging and slowly ripping to reveal a demonic hand.
"Sora Kill her!" kazuma shouts, kicking chiriku aside. Fuka tries to get to her feet as sora shoots forward but a wall of ice form in front of her.
"Escudo de cero absoluto" mitsuomi says, with a trail of ice leading to the wall. Sora growls as pseudo whiskers protrude from his face but mitsuomi phases in front of him and they both vanish. Kurama drops fuen next to gate and gives chase, "How can my Charka be here" she thought.
[Music: Jinchuriki-Naruto Ost]
Mitsuomi reappears in the forest away from the temple and he tosses sora into a tree, "How do you have Kyu's chakra" he says. Sora growls and shoots forward but mitsuomi dodges the wild swipes, "Rwargh" sora roars, creating two chakra arms. Mitsuomi kicks back and summons four seal-less clone, "Make a barrier" he says and the four shoot off, "Ninpo: Four Flames Formation" they shout, creating a large barrier around mitsuomi and sora. Two chakra tails form as sora becomes more feral as he rushes mitsuomi but he leaps over the pseudo fox and sends a chain around sora.
"Come Here!" mitsuomi shouts, yanking sora towards him. Mitsuomi surrounds his right arm with his kakuja and slams a heavy blow to sora. However sora counters with a double kick to the ribs, sending mitsuomi back with a skid as a third tail forms and scorching the earth under him. Sora launches with renewed speed as mitsuomi backpedals, "Lanzas Cero de Absoluto" he says, sending several ice spears but sora burns through them.
"Rraggh" sora hisses, swiping mitsuomi across the chest but only sparks erupt. Mitsuomi surrounds his left arm with kakuja and slams a chopping left to sora's head, into a monkey flip and several more ice spears, piercing sora's legs.
"You won't be running to quickly" mitsuomi says. Sora drops to all fours, "Shut up" he hisses and mitsuomi arches an eyebrow.
"So you are still capable of speech" mitsuomi notes. Sora builds up his chakra, melting the ice and sending a sonic roar but mitsuomi uses his chains to stay rooted as the area within the barrier was uprooted and heaved. Sora lowers his stance more as his skin was peeling away, "I am Power" he hisses, drawing more and more power. Kurama reaches the barrier as red light erupts, "This isn't good" she thought. The light dies as down as a miniature kyubi was in place of sora, his body surrounded by dark red, nearly black layer of chakra with four swishing tails.
"So you are Capable of my Four-tail state" mitsuomi says and calls forth his full kakuja, "So I need to be serious" he adds. Sora roars and rushes mitsuomi but the behemoth slams into him with a crude test of strength, causing the ground to give under them.
"You may have Kyu's power but you do not know how to use it" mitsuomi says, lifting sora and slamming him hard to the ground. Sora roars and sends several chakra arms but mitsuomi leaps back, "I have lived with this since I was nearly a year old.. You have no need for such power" mitsuomi says, sending all nine of his chains to capture sora. The pseudo fox struggles against the chains but slowly his power is being drained. Sora collapses with a roar as mitsuomi's chains drain the corrupt chakra from him, before long his human self returns but his skin a seared red.
"You are safe now" mitsuomi says, dropping his kakuja and withdrawing his chains. [song ends]
シーンブレイク
The barrier comes down as mitsuomi approaches the downed sora, "He had your chakra Kyu" he says, kneeling to one knee and checking for a pulse.
"That man must have been in Konoha in during my attack and stole some.. It's not the first time.. The Gold and Silver brothers of Kumo actually ate my flesh after I swallowed them" kurama comments. Mitsuomi hoists sora on his shoulder, "Noted.. We should return to the temple" he says and both vanish. The pair reappear in front the temple gates as chiriku has kazuma subdued, while the monks have fuka surrounded.
"King-san" chiriku says. Mitsuomi approaches the monk and lays sora down, "The boy is safe and the Dark chakra expelled" he says.
"What?!.. No!" kazuma shouts, breaking free and rushing mitsuomi but kurama intercepts him, slicing opening his neck. Kazuma gasps and clutches his spurting neck as the light drains from his eyes.
"As I was saying.. His father actually sealed the Kyubi's chakra into the boy but once the woman released the seal.. His body could not contain and he burned through it as we fought" mitsuomi explains.
"I see.. Thank you for bringing him back King-san" chiruki says, with a praying bow and mitsuomi reciprocates.
"Noted but what about the woman" mitsuomi asks, pointing to fuka. Chiriku glances to the red head, "She will be brought before the court" he says.
"I see.. Well now that the threat has been silenced.. I will depart and reflect on your words" mitsuomi says and heads for the gate.
"I hope you will find the truth in my words and find what you are searching for" chiriku states. Mitsuomi walks the steps in thought, "We should leave Fire country" kurama says returning to the seal.
"Noted.. Konoha will catch wind of this and Eto's report about Konoha going back to Wave and learning of my presence" mitsuomi thought.
"Tazuna only referred to you only as King.. We have some Anonymity" kurama comments and mitsuomi sighs.
"Noted.. We should head to Mist and ascertain Chiriku's words on Kushina's whereabouts" mitsuomi thought, leaping off.
*lX-Land of Water - Kirigakure-Xl*
Zabzua sighs with a rub of his forehead as he makes his way to the new Mizukage's office. It has been just over three weeks since he and haku arrived in Mist, finding the civil war over for nearly a month and a new Godaime in place. The godaime welcomed him and haku back after a week-long vetting process and awarded him jonin status and haku genin for the time being. Zabuza knocks on the door twice, "Come in" a feminine voice declares. Zabuza opens the door and finds the godaime at her desk, "Afternoon Terumi-sama" he states and the Godaime titters.
"Zabuza I told you to call me Mei" she says. Mei is a tall, slender woman with fair skin with green eyes and ankle-length, auburn hair styled into a herringbone pattern at the back, a top-knot tied with a dark blue band, and with four bangs at the front. Two bangs are short, with one covering her right eye, and two are long, crossing each other on her bust, just below her chin.
"Right Mei-sama" zabuza says and mei rises from her seat. She wears a long-sleeve, dark blue dress that falls just below the knees with a mesh armor that covers slightly more of her upper body than her dress. She also wears a skirt in the same color as her dress and, underneath those, mesh leggings reaching down over her knees with heeled sandals.
"So how can I help you" mei asks and zabuza sighs.
"I need to head to Fire country to find someone" zabuza states.
"Would it be this King you told us about" mei asks and zabuza nods.
"He could be a welcome addition to Kiri" zabuza states. The door opens as mei's assistant Ao enters with a bow, "Mizukage-sama.. A man was brought in covered in bandages.. He claims to know Zabuza" he states. Ao is a middle aged man with blue hair which is styled in a moused-up manner. His left eye is blue and his right eye was covered with an eye-patch. He wears the standard striped, grey suit, with a green haori that had white trimmings that stop halfway down, over them.
"Did He have a woman in bandages with him" zabuza asks but ao shakes his head.
"He was alone" ao replies and mei clears her throat.
"Where is he now Ao" mei asks.
"Anbu Headquarters" ao replies and mei nods with a glance to zabuza.
"Take me to him Ao.. Zabuza come with me as well" mei says and both nod. The three made their way to Anbu Headquarters, finding mitsuomi sitting in one of the interrogation rooms.
"Report" mei says. An Anbu clears her throat, "He showed up out of the blue and surrendered easily.. Saying he was meeting Zabuza in Fire country but things changed" she explains.
"Is that him Zabuza" mei asks and zabuza nods.
"That's him but let me talk to him" zabuza says and mei agrees. Zabuza enters the room as mitsuomi sits quietly, "Seems the war is over" mitsuomi says.
"Yes it was already over when we arrived.. We were welcomed back after a vetting" zabuza says and mitsuomi tilts his head.
"Noted.. Ah does the Mizukage think I am a spy of some sort" mitsuomi asks.
"Not at the moment but why did you come King.. I still had another week to go to Fire country" zabuza asks.
"Ah.. I gained a lead on someone but things took a turn for the bad and I felt it was best to come to you.. Rather than the reverse" mitsuomi explains.
"Who are you searching for King" mei asks, entering the room. Mitsuomi's visible eye looks over the mizukage, "I can't say but maybe you can answer a riddle I learned.. I am looking for a place where tears and hearts once froze but now warmth has come" he states.
"A place where tears and hearts freeze but warmth has come" mei repeats and mitsuomi nods, "Could it be Spring" she says. Mitsuomi rubs his chin for a moment, "Spring.. Wait could Kushina have gone to Snow country" kurama says.
"Possible" mitsuomi thought and looks to the mizukage, "That is Possible" he states. Mei takes a seat with a serious look on her face, "Zabuza told me you were apart of the Uzumaki clan but what Village do you serve" she asks.
"I serve no Village.. I am a wanderer and I recently learned of my heritage as I told Zabuza" mitsuomi replies. Zabuza steps out as mei questions mitsuomi, "Well" he asks. Ao is holding a ram sign as his the side of his face has bulging veins, "He is guarded but I sense no fluctuation in his chakra" he starts and drops the ram sign.
"His coils are well developed and I believe he has Kage level chakra" ao adds and zabuza's eyes wide a fraction.
"I see" zabuza says. Mei steps out and locks the door, "He is an interesting person.. A bit emotionally stunted" she says.
"Child soldier" ao questions and mei looks through the glass.
"I believe so.. He is young no more than seventeen but his eye is someone of age.. Empty and cold.. He has seen the worse of humanity" mei notes.
"What do we do with him" zabuza asks and mei glances his way.
"I offered him a place in Kiri as a Genin but seemed disinterested in serving as a shinobi but agreed that it be only temporary.. Which I agreed" mei says.
"Mei-sama why" ao questions.
"The Chunin exams are coming.. This King can help us regain our pride and change the World's view on us.. Though we can only send one team with Haku and Chojuro.. King can be our ace in the hole" mei explains. Zabuza looks at mitsuomi and a slight smirk forms, "I agree.. What I saw him do in Wave.. I wouldn't want to face him head on" he says.
"He will stay in one of our containment cells for a month.. He could still be a spy.. Once the month passes.. You will take custody of him Zabuza" mei says and the demon of mist bows.
*lX-Konohagakure-Xl*
Hiruzen sits in office as he deals with the bane of all Kage but the door opens as danzo steps in, "What is it" the former asks. Danzo's cane clanks on the wood floor as he approaches the desk, "I received some news on this King" he says.
"In what regard" hiruzen asks and danzo takes a seat.
"He was spotted in the Capital.. Then the Fire Temple" danzo starts.
"My Spy noted he spoke with the Head monk Chiriku but what about.. He failed to find out.. However this King does possess the Hyoton with little use of Hand-signs" danzo explains. Hiruzen's eyes widen a slight fraction, "Hyoton interesting" he says, thinking of sending Hunter-nin after him.
"He fought Chiriku" hiruzen asks but danzo shakes his head.
"A former member of the 12 Guardians named Kazuma attacked with three others.. However the more interesting anomaly was that a boy possessed the Kyubi's chakra" danzo states.
"What?!.. The monks had someone with Its chakra" hiruzen says.
"Yes but the boy was unstable and went on a rampage.. King absconded with the boy but returned a short time later.. Declaring the boy could not contain the chakra and burned through it as they fought" danzo states and hiruzen clenches his fist.
"Where is King now" hiruzen asks. Danzo rises from his seat, "No trace of him.. He may left Fire-country but I sent a Squad of Ne to search for him" he says.
"Good.. They can bring him in and We can use him for breeding purposes.. Perhaps with 02.. Speaking of which how is Its progressing" hiruzen states.
"She is taking to her conditioning well.. She will be ready to deploy for the Chunin exams" danzo explains.
"Excellent.. It will be needed as all Five Great nations will be sending Genin teams" hiruzen states and danzo arches an eyebrow.
"Kiri as well" danzo questions.
"Yes the Civil war ended nearly two months ago and a new Mizukage was named.. She has sent notice she will send a single team" hiruzen explains, as danzo leaves.
*lX-Unknown Location-Xl*
In place of bones from creatures of a bygone area, below this bone graveyard were sinister machinations. In one of the many underground caverns five figures meet on recent events. The first is a man with slicked back silver hair and purple eyes, dressed in a black cloak.
"Why are we here.. I could be showing people the way of Jashin" he says, kissing a medallion.
"Shut up Hidan" spoke a gruff voice. Its owner os a tall tan-skin man with long dark-brown hair. His eyes have an unusual colouring with green irides, no pupils and red sclera.
"Fuck off Kakuzu" hidan shouts. A young man with blue eyes and long golden blond hair which he wears drawn into a half ponytail with the rest hanging down freely. The bang hanging over his left eye with the same black cloak.
"Oi Zetsu.. I heard the Kyubi died" he states, glancing to the strangest of the group. Zetsu has both a white and black respectively with Venus flytrap-like extensions that emerged from their sides, enveloping their head and upper body as a shell. Both sides had shaggy green hair and pupil-less yellow eyes.
"Konoha executed him" zetsu states. A swirl forms as the last member of the group arrives, having spiky black hair and a spiral mask with a single eye visbile.
"Zetsu your report" he says.
"The Yellow-flash has abandoned Konoha with his wife.. Child and Tsunade Senju" zetsu starts.
"Konoha screwed themselves huh Tobi" kakuzu directs, to their spiral mask leader. Tobi clenches his fist within his robe, "No matter but with the Kyubi's death.. Our plans are pushed back.. We have the Sanbi in our possession.. In the interim we will capture the other Biju starting with the Ichibi.. However for now we will lay low.. Akatsuki will have their eyes set them as well" he states.

Minato kneels on one knee in front of Koyuki Kazahana, "Thank you for taking us in Koyuki-sama" he states.
"It's quite alright Minato-san.. You saved me from my Uncle and helped me regain the throne.. It is I who should thank you" koyuki states. Koyuki has long black hair with bangs that sweeps on each side of her face and light blue eyes, with pink eye shadow and red lipstick. She wears a light blue furisode kimono and red and blue haori with brown gloves. Minato rises to his feet with a glance to kushina and naruko, "Konoha will no doubt try to have us brought back to them" he says.
"They will fail.. I have sent word to Izumi-sama to bar Konoha from this as well as granting all of you Asylum here in Spring" koyuki comments.
"Thank you so much Koyuki-sama" kushina says, bowing.
"Thats quite alright Kushina-san" koyuki says and rises from her seat, "Izumi-sama has also invited me to the Chunin exams in Konoha and I would like you and Minato to be my guards" she adds. Naruko frowns slightly and her parents catch this, "I'm sorry Naru-chan.. I know you were set on competing" kushina says.
"It's alright Mom.. Konoha showed their true colors when they killed Mitsuomi-san" naruko says. Koyuki took a thinking pose, "Mitsuomi" she asks.
"He was the holder of the Kyubi no Yoko and was executed by Konoha over a Prophecy with the toads" minato explains and koyuki furrows her brow.
"My Sensei.. No former Sensei was given a prophecy by the Elder toad and sought to make sure the prophecy benefits Konoha and Konoha alone.. Sixteen years ago I summoned the Shinigami to seal the Kyubi inside a baby boy named Mitsuomi.. The Shinigami decreeded the Kyubi would be absorbed by the seal I created in eighteen years but if He died before" minato explains but pauses and touches his chest, "My Soul would be dragged into Its belly.. However the Shinigami waived that punishment due to Konoha's arrogance" he adds.
"Konoha has truly fallen.. Sandaime seemed like a good man but it seems that was a facade to hide his true machinations" koyuki states and both reluctantly nod.

Mitsuomi stands next to the main gate of kirigakure with zabuza, haku, mei and the shy chojuro. He has short, tufty blue hair, and dark eyes with pointed, shark-like teeth. He wears square, black-rim glasses connected to ear protectors, a blue pin-stripe shirt and camouflage pattern pants. He wears his hitai-ate on the front of his holster which he uses to carry his sword Hiramekarei. The sword itself is wrapped in bandages leaving only the double hilt visible. He also has shuriken holsters strapped onto each of his legs.
"I want the three of you to show the other Great villages that Kirigakure has changed" mei states, holding her Kage hat. Chojuro blushes slightly with a small nod, "We will Mizukage-sama" he says.
"Noted Mizukage-dono" mitsuomi comments, tying his hitai-ate to his belt. Mei smirks softly with a glance to zabuza, "Please try to get King-kun to speak more" she says, ignoring the look from mitsuomi.
"Will do Mei-sama" haku says, adjusting her mask. Zabuza snorts and claps his hands, "Alright you Brats.. Hop to it at Chunin speed" he barks and all four vanish, followed by mei.

A/N-2: Next chapter will pick up with the beginning of the Chunin exams. Now Mitsuomi is a Kirigakure shinobi and that will keep Konoha from trying to capture him but that won't stop them in trying during the Second round. The invasion will happen but it will be Suna, Taki and Iwa silently backing them, with Kiri and Kumo reluctantly helping. Orochimaru will be there but to secretly aid Konoha from the shadows. Mitsuomi will send Eto to meet with Kushina and Minato, allowing them to link up for the Finals and reveal the truths he learned. Lastly thank you for your support, also a question. Who is the woman inside the tube from the end of the last chapter?
