Mika wanted to rage, to find Gato and carve him into tiny pieces. He wanted to inflict unending agony on the evil man, to demolish his every thought and render him comatose. Why? The people of Wave. Decimated, cold and starving, they had no hope or peace. Children were starving and weak. Many people would not survive the week without proper care. That much was clear, even to his weak medical knowledge.

"You brats, get back here!" A deep, hoarse voice called out, making Mika turn to see three small emaciated children running toward his path. A groan, crazed looking man was following after them.

Mika moved with speeds only a ninja could replicate, grabbing the man and startling the children to a stand still. "Why are you chasing them?"

The man, startled and afraid, managed to stutter out. "They stole from my shop, I cannot feed my own kids if they don't pay!"

Sighing, Mika pulled out some money. "Would this cover it?"

The man nodded, sighing. "Yes... I did not want to chase them, I just... I can't, my son is sick, he needs food."

Mika patted the man's arm. "I am a medic, sort of, I can help." He turned to the kids. One look told him they were afraid but grateful. However, they were also covered in bruises, one in a nasty cut on his left cheek. Without pause, Mika raised a glowing hand to his cheek. The boy breathed in, and slowly released it, happy tears in his eyes. "If you are hurt elsewhere, tell me. I can heal you with my power."

That boy barreled into his arms. "Thank you, Mr."

Patting his back, Mika turned back and saw a crowd of stunned people. "I am a ninja, skilled moderately as a healer. If you are injured, with or without my powers I will see what I can do. I can only do so much, but that is better than nothing. No payment is needed, I am doing this on my own. I need to start a triage, only the sickest get in first. Chest pain, bleeding wounds, head injuries, burns. You come in first."

And from that point on, for the next twelve hours, Mika healed as many as he could. People brought out horribly injured people from all cracks and crevices. Mika was horrified, but it changed him as he patched people up, assessing his hopelessness, his impotence, his weakness.

He had to do something to help people from every suffering like this again... and to that, he vowed to become a full medical ninja, like one of his greatest idols, Lady Tsunade herself.

Shaking and weak, he walked into the House of Tsunami and Tazuna, just in time to see the Wave citizens sobbing. Mika collapsed to his knees, digging into his food. "Kakashi," Mika turned to the man. "This place, it's in hell and the suffering is immeasurably vast. I just healed over two hundred people, with and without the mystic palm. If I had not taken a tonic, I would have passed out. Kakashi, we have to help these people!"

It was here, as he spoke, that something in Mika snapped, a valve or switch, and power flooded out from within him as the rage overflowed. Before he could stop it, he actually watched in shock as everyone bar Kakashi recoiled and go essentially comatose. Kakashi grabbed his shoulder, startling him out of his... whatever that was.

"Mika, you have to calm down." Firmly, the man commanded, and Mika managed to focus just enough to relax and the flow of power ceased.

"What was that?" Mika asked.

"Killer intent... you were, are, so filled with bloodlust, that it leaked out of you, forcing them all to feel and see it. Even I felt it, and I practically immune at this point. You really have a temper, don't you?" The man stared at Mika, concerned but also wary.

Mika just sighed before bowing. "I am sorry, but the man's evil, it just... Kakashi, can we assassinate him?"

The man sighed. "Your tonic has revived me considerably... what is your main skill set?"

"Kenjutsu and medical. Yugao is an amazing mentor, I have learned more in a month with her than I ever learned on my own. She also taught me tracking and some stealth, above what we learn in the academy."

Kakashi actually laughed here. "Sounds like here,... yes, we can. I am recovered enough. You and I will eliminate Gato and his group. Then you will rest, you need to recover. Are we clear?"

"Yes. When should I be ready?"

"In two hours. Meditate, recover as much as you can... we will take down Gato tonight." Not even Sasuke questioned this, too wary and startled by Mika's outburst to really complain.

Tazuna managed to croak out. "I know where Gato's base is located... please, make it hurt."

Mika obeyed Kakashi's orders, consuming a tad more tonic and meditated, allowing his chakra and stamina to recover. He did his best to not focus on the rage in his heart, difficult as it was, but before he knew it he felt Kakashi near him. Without talking they hurried out of the house and into the dark. It took less than five minutes at full speed to reach the damned place.

There were fifteen guards, ten on the roof and balconies of the gray building.

And then, Mika felt a cold wave of energy wash through him as descended on the five guards he saw on the ground. With brutal efficiency, Mika sliced through spines, jabbed into hearts and just made swift work of the vile creatures that worked for the monster known as Gato.

Mika leaped onto the roof, next to the dead guards and an impressed Kakashi. "You fight well, Yugao is an excellent mentor."

"She is. She taught me to never waste a single movement, and never to brag or talk to my enemies."

They hurried into he building, and saw about forty more guards, all pacing around a massive warehouse filled with food, money, medicine, drugs and more. It took all of Mika's control to not slaughter them all right then.

Kakashi nodded at him, seeing his struggle. "I go low, you go high?"

Mika smirked. "Sounds perfect, see you in a minute." Mika pulled out senbon and killed three with one throw. Kakashi and Mika then worked as one to demolish the rest with swift attacks, wasting not a single movement or moment. They were dead in moments.

Gato's room was easy to find around the dead guards. Mika wasted no time and rammed a senbon into the man's calf.

"AHHHHHH!" The worm bellowed. "Guards!"

Backhanding him, Mika's wrath knew no end and neither did Gato's pain. Every piece of anatomy knowledge took hold and Mika spent fifteen minutes making the man suffer. Soon, far too soon, the man was a hoarse, drooling mess of blood and agony.

It was here that Kakashi stole Mika's blade and beheaded the man. "I'll clean up, get Naruto, his Shadow Clones can be in the hundreds, he can unload the loads and help the people of Wave. You can use them to help more than ever." Kakashi kneeled, grabbing Mika's chin. "You're a good ninja, and a better man. You will go far, but I would advise you make friends. I have heard from Sakura you have never had any friends. This job, it will crush your spirit..."

"I'll... take that in advisement.. thank you."

Naruto was there in less than ten minutes, Inari the son of Tsunami spreading the new to the world to hear it. Mika would order the various Naruto clones to organize the many crates so he could do the most good...

And from the looks of shock and please and gratitude Mika saw, he knew the people would never forget him... and he would never forget them all.

However, oddly enough, his last thought before he got started, was 'I really need a clone jutsu.' Though, despite this being because of Naruto's extremely impressive clone jutsu, Mika ended up hating Naruto all the more. His constant snide comments and irritable personality made it damn near impossible to not attempt to behead the little shit. Only Mika's pleasure in helping the people of Wave kept the boy alive.

Sadly.

Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was a joy to write.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
