One thing I love about Tsunade, is that she was recognized for helping and not just killing... I drew inspiration from that in this chapter.
As Kakashi led the way to Gato's base, he considered the boy behind him. Mika's presence was difficult for even him to detect, but as he focused on it he sense wrath and hate aplenty. "You are an angry person, aren't you?"
Mika nodded. "Naturally, but I typically have a better grip on it. It flairs in the presence of injustice." They landed by Gato's base almost immediately after, and they saw a massive gray warehouse with fifteen men. Ten atop on the roof top with cross bows. Five on the bottom with samurai swords and literal clubs.
"I see... " Kakashi looked around, taking in the fullness of their surroundings. "The plan is simple. I go high, you go low. Leave no survivors, them meet me atop, we will go in through a window."
And so that is what they did. Kakashi blitzed the top with speed second only to Guy, killing people with kicks and punches, wasting no time or energy. He turned in time to watch Mika behead a man, flip away and snap another's with a brutal kick. He ended the last by kicking out his knee, twisting an arm around his neck and squeezing it with enough force to snap his spine.
Soon they were inside, where they saw forty armed idiots roaming about, by hundreds of containers of drugs, medicines, food and so much else. It was sickening, even for Kakashi.
Mika's eyes flashed with a hate that was startling. "I cannot wait to dissect Gato. Same as before?"
"Yes... be swift, no showing off."
"I have no intentions of doing so."
And off they went, a boring, brutal explosion of death so fast no one even raised an alarm. As they killed, Kakashi made mental notes for the Hokage, Yugao and Hayate.
'He is good, I would even say he is around special jonin level, but I would have to have him actually assessed. Alone though, he can only grow so much, he needs a mentor... someone to guide him, to break him out of any bad habits and give him some life experience... Yugao would be perfect, she was just talking about retiring from ANBU.'
Far too soon, Mika found Gato's room, and woke the man by stabbing a senbon into his thigh. "AHHHH!" Mika relished the scream, the terror. It was clear from his expression, and Kakashi hated to see it. " Guards!"
"All dead, just like you will be soon."
Though he allowed the torture to come, Kakashi made another observation. 'He will need someone to help him get a better grip on his temper, and ensure he does not snap whenever he is confronted like this... but for now... I will allow it. Gato really, really deserves this. A medically trained ninja tormenting him for his crimes, something quite fitting.'
Only when it became too bloody, did Kakashi end the session of torment by stealing Mika's blade and cutting off Gato's head.
Mika sighed. "It was sort of hard to stop, so thanks for that. What now?"
"We get Naruto and the entire town to take this all to the people of Wave. I am sure the people will appreciate it all. Prepare to be very, very busy."
That seemed to brighten the boy's spirit. "I'll need help from a woman named Raven, she was a huge help to me before. A great commander that one."
:::
For the Five days, each and every day for twelve hours, Mika healed like he had never healed before. He patched up burns, soothed fevers, cured infections and passed out drugs to those that really needed it. People hugged him hundreds of times, children kissed his cheek when he ensured they had food. Naruto and his clones had set hundreds of boxes into town while the people of Wave divided it up properly. Soon the town was flourishing. Raven helped him separate the food and medicine and drugs, and in turn helped him pass out all that was needed.
In a mere week, the hope of Wave had been restored... and Mika had done it.
It was a beautiful, cathartic sight.
"Mika..." Raven said, a leader among her people, as he walked to the center of town. There was a crowd of happy people formed, looking at him with love and peace. "You helped free us from Gato and you healed thousands! We have never seen anything like this... in my entire sixty years of life, I have never seen such change at one person's hands, let alone someone so young... you opened our eyes, to the power of a single person. To the power healing has in our world.
For that, and so many other reasons, we have decided to build and construct a hospital, to heal ourselves from the plague grown on our own soil! It will be named the Mika Medical Center, in honor of the boy that saved us, body and soul!"
Mika may have burst into tears, unable to stop himself as the crowd exploded into cheers. "You honor me... you really, really do."
The people charged him and he was hugged, kissed and honored so much he could not keep track of all he sensed and so did not know of the events on the bridge until it was far, far too late. Not until he was healing Sasuke from his many senbon wounds and the people of the bridge from the attacks from Zabuza and the Hunter Ninja known as Haku.
He did not bother going to the graves of the duo, not really seeing a point. They were enemy ninja, and had helped Gato's incredible evil. Why the hell would he want to honor them?
He did made a mental note to where Kakashi buried the bodies as well as Zabuza's blade... just in case.
Soon they were off, past the Great Naruto Bridge where he could still see the Mika Medical Center being set up, having no idea for what was to come... all born of the healing he did and the passionate peace born in Wave.
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a joy to write.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
