The Return of the First Immortal


#Land of Wind#

Beneath the vast deserts of the Land of Wind Danzo Shimura stumbles upon an ancient tomb by complete chance. He is not alone as nearly two dozen of his Ne operatives trail around him, their steps silent yet filled with anticipation as they traverse the underground labyrinth while above ground another dozen were guarding the entrance. One of the operatives with his voice barely more than a whisper, "Lord Danzo.. This architecture... It predates the Sage of Six Paths.. It could be even older" he says, touching the wall. Danzo narrows his eye in thought but doesn't turn back, "Keep your wits about you.. Whatever lies within has been untouched by time and the wars that have ravaged the surface.. We are treading on history itself" he says, dressed in Anbu gear. They soon come to a halt in front of a massive stone door, its surface etched in symbols that seem to dance in the torchlight. One of the operatives and the youngest among them steps forward, "These markings... They're not from any civilization we know of.. They're older.. Much older" she remarks, touching the symbols.

"It's a reminder that our world's history is far more vast than the records of shinobi" danzo states as his voice echoes off the ancient stones, "Now open it.. Let's see what has been hidden from the eyes of the world for untold millennia" he orders and all of them nod.

[Music: The Count is Here - Stormy Night At Dracula's Castle]

The operatives work to move the stone door open, using doton jutsu as the air grows tense with a mix of excitement and dread filling the chamber. Finally as the door gives way and they peer inside to find an even darker chamber beyond. The operatives fueled by a blend of curiosity and mission-driven urgency, rush into the chamber ahead of danzo. As he follows and they find themselves in a room that seems to defy time itself, the walls covered in countless words in languages none could understand. One operative turns to danzo with his voice laced with confusion and awe, "Sir.. What does this mean.. These texts... They're unlike anything we've ever encountered" he says, as others note the same. Danzo steps closer to examine the inscriptions with a practiced eye, "It means we've found something extraordinary.. These aren't merely writings but a testament to a civilization that predates our most ancient ancestors" he says, thinking this could lead him to power yet undiscovered.

"Are we prepared for what this means Lord Danzo.. Unearthing secrets from a world before ours" another operative says, her eyes wide with the weight of their discovery. Danzo finally responds after a contemplative silence, "No one is ever truly prepared for the revelations of history.. But it is our duty to unearth these secrets and learn from them.. This room.. These writings.. They're not a warning... They're an invitation" he says, his thoughts on how to use this to benefit him. The team share glances with a mix of muted fear but curiosity as they know they were standing on the precipice of a discovery that could change their understanding of the world. A red demonic fist suddenly bursts from the floor, followed by a demonic body with red skin and spikes protruding from its skin. It is clad in unknown ancient armor as the demonic creature roars as its mouth open nearly ninety degrees having roars of sharp teeth.

"Ambush!" an operative screams, drawing his tanto. The Ne operatives spring into action, attacking the creature to protect their master danzo. The creature tears through the operatives like paper with sharp claws and its teeth, speaking languages none of them understand while also drinking their blood from severed limbs. Soon only danzo remains as the creature begin speaking his language and taking a human form with short black hair, pale skin and steel-blue eyes. Danzo maintains his composure in the face of the unknown, "Who are you?!.. What is it that you seek?!" danzo demands, his stance tight.

"I am Mitsuomi Kiriyu.. The progenitor of your nightmares and darkest tales.. I seek nothing but to understand this new era I've awakened to..." the creature replies with a chillingly calm voice. Danzo eyes the being before him with scenarios forming, "And what will you do now that you are free" he asks. Mitsuomi's lips curl into a faint smile, "That Danzo Shimura will depend on the actions of your kind.. Will you fear me.. Hunt me or... Yearn from me" he says, shocking danzo as he knows his name. Danzo's mind is racing with possibilities and threats, "It would be wise to consider your position carefully then Mitsuomi Kiriyu. The world of shinobi is vastly different from the one you knew" he states firmly and mitsuomi nods.

"Indeed.. But remember.. It's not the shinobi world that has to worry about adapting to me.. I have all of eternity to adapt to it" mitsuomi says, smiling. A tense silence follows as each man measure the other, knowing that the decisions made in this moment could reshape the future of their world.

"Feed me and I'll assist you" mitsuomi says, surprising danzo as speaking directly into his mind.

"Feed you what?!" danzo asks, caught off guard. Mitsuomi's grin widens with a sinister edge to his voice, "Fresh blood" he says, his steel-blue eyes glowing. A few minutes pass but danzo agrees to this and mitsuomi follows the shinobi no yami out of his tomb into a new era. The journey to Ne HQ with the remains of danzo's squad on the surface and it is quiet but their minds were open books to mitsuomi. Danzo breaks the silence under the starlit sky, "I believe you understand that I thrive in secrecy.. Our arrangement cannot become known to the world" he says, surrounded by his Ne. Mitsuomi chuckles softly with his gaze on the horizon, "Worry not Danzo Shimura.. Secrecy is as much my cloak as it is yours.. But remember.. I am not one of your tools to be wielded blindly" he says, coldly and danzo frowns.

"And what assurances do I have that you won't turn against us" danzo says, sensing the underlying assertiveness in mitsuomi's tone.

"Simple.. Our interests align.. Well for now.. Your world's chaos is a fertile ground for me to understand this era.. Think of me as an observer with certain... Appetites" mitsuomi says and his mysterious smile returns, hinting at a myriad of untold stories. As they reach the outskirts of the Land of Fire, danzo mulls over the words, contemplating the unforeseen consequences of unleashing such a wildcard.

"Your understanding of shinobi will be crucial.. The world has fully evolved Mitsuomi Kiriyu since your time.. Ninjutsu.. The Hidden Villages.. The Five Great Nations and these are but the surface of our world's complexity" danzo finally said, breaking the contemplative silence. Mitsuomi's steel blue eyes sparkle with intrigue, "Indeed and it seems I have much to catch up on.. Perhaps an offer a perspective from someone who watched civilizations rise and fall" he says, showing his age. Their conversation wanes as they approach the village, both men aware that the partnership they've forged tonight is built on a razor's edge with a balance between mutual benefit and inherent danger.

Once in the safety of Ne HQ, danzo contacts the Sannin Orochimaru to study mitsuomi but ensures that mitsuomi is provided with fresh blood. Over the course of two weeks while awaiting the hebi sannin sees mitsuomi drain close to thirty people dry of their very lifeblood. Danzo observes the proceedings with orochimaru as mitsuomi feeds on a woman while her hand reaches out for help, "Study him carefully.. We've never encountered a creature like this before" danzo says, not caring for the young woman being killed. Orochimaru with a glint of fascination in his yellow snake-like eyes, "He's not merely a creature Danzo.. He's a living piece of history" he says, curiousity in his tone.

"As much as I find your impeding scientific pursuits quaint.. Remember.. I am not here to be a lab rat.. My cooperation is conditional" mitsuomi interjects, casual in his demeanor and dropping the now dead woman.

"Your needs will be met Mitsuomi.. But your cooperation is of utmost importance to us" danzo says, keeping his voice measured. Mitsuomi smiles with an unsettling edge to his expression, "Then let our partnership be mutually beneficial.. But do remember.. My tolerance for treachery is exceedingly low" he said, coldly. Time passes as danzo and orochimaru's patience wears thin after numerous futile attempts to dissect mitsuomi's nature. Orochimaru tries every trick in his extensive book to gain deeper insights into the immortal vampire. He even resorts to veiled threats of destruction, each more elaborate than the last but mitsuomi didn't fall for any of them and mocks him.

"Perhaps you misunderstand our arrangement Sannin.. I am not one to be intimidated.. Push me further and your life will end long before you decipher the enigma that I am" mitsuomi says, his eyes narrowed dangerously at orochimaru's latest threat. Silence hangs heavily in the air and charged with the tension of the moment but through the mental connection established since awakening. Mitsuomi glimpses fragments of orochimaru's thoughts and learns of Tsunade Senju, known as the Slug Sannin.

"Tell me about the Slug Sannin Tsunade Senju.. Your thoughts betray an intriguing mix of respect and rivalry" mitsuomi says, smoothly changing the topic and his voice carrying a hint of genuine interest. Orochimaru is taken aback by the sudden shift, "Ah.. Tsunade-hime.. Her healing abilities are unparalleled and her strength is formidable.. A worthy adversary and ally.. Depending on the day" he says, writing on a clipboard.

"Her talents could prove useful in our endeavors but her Morals would hold her back" danzo interjects, sensing an opportunity. Mitsuomi leans back on his cot and has a contemplating look on his face, "Intriguing.. It seems there are more layers to your world than I anticipated" he muses, looking at his nails. Six months pass as danzo and orochimaru were no closer to uncovering the secrets of mitsuomi, yet the ancient vampire holds the knowledge of all their clandestine endeavors as one day danzo decides to confront mitsuomi once again. The vampire awaits his visitor, dressed in a grey fitted long sleeve shirt, a pair of black hybrid ninja-cargo pants fitted with adjustable straps, ensuring a snug fit around his ankles, and calf-length black boots laced with white strings.

"Mitsuomi Kiriyu" danzo starts as he enters the dimly lit room, "Six months have passed and yet you remain an enigma wrapped within a mystery" he adds, his lone on the creature. Mitsuomi's eyes flicker with a hint of amusement with a book in his hand "And yet.. Here you are Danzo Shimura.. Hoping today will be the day you unwrap the mystery" he muses, turning a page and danzo's eye narrows.

"Your confidence is misplaced.. We have ways of making even the oldest beings talk" danzo says, a cold edge to his tone.

"Ah but you see.. Force is the tool of the desperate" mitsuomi retorts smoothly and his gaze unwavering, "And desperation is an aroma most foul and detectable even amongst the sands of time" he adds, a faint smile on his face. Orochimaru the ever the silent observer slithers into the conversation with a sly grin, "Perhaps but even the ancient can learn new tricks.. Can they not" he says and mitsuomi chuckles, the sound echoing off the stone walls.

"Indeed but one is never too old to learn.. Tell me Orochimaru.. What is it you seek to learn from one such as I... My Power... My Immortality perhaps that you so eagerly seek or the secrets of a world long vanished" mitsuomi says, knowing the sannin wants immortality like a man wants to quench his thirst in a desert. The pause that follows is palpable with both danzo and orochimaru exchanging uneasy glances, "I told you we seek an alliance" danzo finally states and glances his partner, "Your strength.. Coupled with our resources.. Could be beneficial" he adds.

"The alliance" mitsuomi repeats thoughtfully with a small nod, "Predicated on the assumption that I have anything to gain from such a venture.. Your world is young and its mysteries shallow.. What can you offer the oldest of the old" he muses, closing his book. The silence that follows is telling as danzo and orochimaru were unaccustomed to being at a loss for words. Yet here in the presence of an entity as old as mitsuomi, they found themselves bereft of their usual confidence.

"Perhaps" mitsuomi finally said, standing up with his height and ancient aura filling the room. He moves towards the bars on the door serving as barrier, "You should consider what you are willing to sacrifice.. For knowledge as you well know.. Comes at a price and I... I am a very thorough teacher" mitsuomi says, running his finger up the bars. Danzo stiffens while orochimaru's grin widens, recognizing the challenge embedded within mitsuomi's words. This is the beginning of a dangerous game and neither side was willing to back down just yet.

"You seek my knowledge and power... Then bring me Tsunade Senju.. Only then will I consider gifting one of my secrets" mitsuomi says, his voice is calm and carries an undeniable weight that prompts silence among the group. Danzo's eye narrows and betraying a flicker of concern, "Tsunade Senju?!" he echoes as his voice masks the turmoil of thought beneath, "She has severed ties with Konoha.. Her whereabouts remain unknown to even the most informed of us" he adds. Orochimaru always relishing the complexity of challenges licks his lips in anticipation, "Ah but Danzo.. Isn't the thrill of the hunt most exhilarating?!.. To bring Tsunade back.. Not just to Konoha but for a purpose so... Unique.. How delightfully intriguing" he says, chuckling.

"And what makes you think I would agree to this" danzo retorts, his skepticism evident. Mitsuomi merely smiles with a gesture that seems to darken the shadows around them, "Oh.. I have the utmost Faith you'll bring Tsunade Senju to me" he says. Danzo exhales slowly with the gears of his mind turning. He knows the risks and the potential reward but finally gives a slight nod, "Very well.. We will bring Tsunade Senju to you" danzo says. Orochimaru's grin seems to stretch even wider if possible, "The game is afoot then.. Let's see who truly holds the power in this ancient dance of knowledge and persuasion" he says, chuckling. This is the beginning of a dangerous game and neither side is willing to back down just yet.

"We understand your request. But I must know why Tsunade Senju" danzo says, his voice echoing.

"Her abilities are unique and unparalleled.. A valuable asset.. In exchange for a secret from the ages.. Enough to shift the balance of power in your favor" mitsuomi says, moving into the shadows of the cell. Orochimaru's eyes gleam with curiosity and something darker, "What guarantee do we have that this... Secret will truly benefit us" he says, his arms folded. A slow and chilling laugh fills the room, "Doubt breeds mistrust Orochimaru.. But fear not.. The knowledge I possess predates your shinobi world.. It holds power and untapped potential.. I assure you.. It's worth the trade" mitsuomi says, his eyes glowing in the shadows.

"Very well.. However we expect full cooperation on your part once the deal is completed" danzo says, always calculating and nodding slightly.

"Ah.. The ever-distrusting Danzo" mitsuomi notes with amusement in his tone, "Very well.. A deal then.. Tsunade Senju for one of my ancient secrets" he adds, steepling his fingers. They turn to leave but orochimaru's voice is cold as ever and pauses them, "Just out of curiosity Mitsuomi Kiriyu... What do you want with Tsunade.. What does the oldest living need with the Slug Princess" he asks. Mitsuomi's silence hangs heavy before he finally speaking, "Every being.. Regardless of age seeks something Orochimaru.. For now.. Know that Tsunade Senju holds a piece to a puzzle long forgotten" he muses, his smile wide. The exchange leaves more questions than answers but danzo and orochimaru had made their decision. They would bring tsunade to mitsuomi, unknowingly setting events into motion that would change the shinobi world forever.

A month later orochimaru and danzo by utilizing a small army of shinobi, manage to deliver an unconscious tsunade to mitsuomi's cell in Ne HQ. Upon seeing tsunade laying before him, mitsuomi simply smiles with his gaze fixed on the legendary sannin. Danzo with a hint of frustration and loss in his voice, "This task was not without its challenges.. I lost thirty operatives in the process.. I hope you're aware of the sacrifices made" he remarks, gripping his cane. Mitsuomi's gaze shifts from tsunade to danzo, "Sacrifices are often necessary for the greater good Danzo.. Your loss has not gone unnoticed.. However.. The scales of trade demand a high price for potent secrets" he says, smiling. Orochimaru is intrigued by the dynamics at play, "Indeed but the cost was indeed high Mitsuomi.. I trust the secret you're about to share holds comparable worth" he says, a twinkle in his eyes. Mitsuomi smiles with a gesture that seems more chilling than comforting, "Before we proceed with the minor formality" he says and gestures for danzo to hand him a notebook with a sense of reluctance.

"Here we go" mitsuomi says and begins to write, his handwriting elegant with characters flowing onto the pages with ease. Mitsuomi closes the notebook and hands it back to danzo, "Consider this a token of good faith.. Some may deem it trivial.. Yet in the right hands.. It harbors potential" he says, his eyes drifting to tsunade. Orochimaru leans forward with eyes narrowing, "What nature of knowledge have you imparted" he asks, salivating at the possible knowledge.

"Ah.. Curiosity" mitsuomi muses and danzo narrows his eye, "Let's just say it's a blend of History.. Alchemy and perhaps a touch of ancient shinobi tactics.. Nothing groundbreaking for those uninitiated but for minds like yours... A seed of inspiration perhaps" he adds. Danzo narrows his eye with his expression unreadable, "And now.. What of Tsunade Senju" he says, looking the creature in the eye. Mitsuomi's attention returns to the unconscious figure of tsunade, "Now... I ask you both to leave.. Rest assured.. When we next meet.. You'll have your secret.. For which the world is not yet ready" he says, his eyes drinking in tsunade's form.

"This is not over Mitsuomi.. Adding to our burden is ensuring your cooperation remains.. Let's not find our trust misplaced" danzo says, his voice tinged with an inquisitive challenge as both leave. The door closes with a soft click that leaves mitsuomi alone with tsunade and he gently lifts her off the floor, placing her on a nearby cot. His gaze reflects a mix of awe and respect, "Such beauty.. Fair of skin.. A G-cup perhaps and fierce in spirit" mitsuomi whispers to the unconscious tsunade, "You who are famed for your healing prowess.. Will be the first of my new kin" he adds, observing her beauty. Tsunade's eyes flutter open and mitsuomi is momentarily taken aback but continues, his fangs glistening in the dim light as he prepares to bite. Tsunade tries to push him away in panic but he quickly sinks his fangs in her neck and then in a surprising turn, stops resisting as an unexpected moan escapes her lips as she grasps his head.

"This... F-feels.. S-so... Good" tsunade whispers after her initial resistance fades, her eyes fluttering in pleasure as mitsuomi drinks her blood. Mitsuomi releases her neck and pulls tsunade into his chest, cutting a line in his own neck. He grasps the back of her head gently, yet with a firm assurance as he guides her mouth to the fresh wound. Tsunade is initially hesitant begins to drink slowly with it giving way to a newfound vigor as she grasps his body tightly and not wanting to let go.

"What... Are you doing to me?!" tsunade whispers, a mix of fear and unexpected delight in her voice as she drinks deeper. The vampire's ancient blood weaving a complex and powerful spell over her senses, "Granting you eternity my dear.. A gift and a curse" mitsuomi replies softly, his old eyes showing a glimpse of sympathy mixed with excitement for his new creation. Tsunade continues to drink from his neck as her fingers grip the fabric of his shirt, "In you.. I see the potential I've sought for centuries.. Together.. We will usher in a new era" mitsuomi coos, his fingers clutching the back of her head. Tsunade's body undergoes a transformation as her beauty amplifies, blemishes fade and canines sharpening. Mitsuomi beholds the change with a mix of fascination and pride, "Behold.. The first of a new lineage will be you Tsunade.. Your strength now coupled with eternity.. Will forge a new path for us" he declares, wrapping his arms around her.

"This power... It's overwhelming.. What am I to become under this curse" tsunade says, coming to terms with her new reality and looks into mitsuomi's eyes with a mix of confusion and awe in her own.

"You will become a beacon of change Tsunade" mitsuomi declares with his voice carrying a weight of centuries, "Your prowess in healing.. Now bound with the ancient might of a vampire.. Will serve as a cornerstone for our kind.. We walk a path unseen by the world but together.. We will shape its destiny" he adds. Tsunade with her gaze fixed on mitsuomi's haunting steel-blue eyes nods slowly, "I... Understand.. But this path.. It's unlike anything I've known.. How will I navigate this new existence" she asks, unsure.

"With time you will learn.. As I have... Your journey has just begun Tsunade.. Embrace it and together.. We will explore the bounds of your newfound power" mitsuomi assures her, his tone imbued with an ancient wisdom.

A storm of frustration is brewing elsewhere as danzo, upon returning to the cell that holds mitsuomi captive, finds it desolately empty and void of the ancient being but also tsunade with the legacy the vampire promised konoha already gone. Danzo summons orochimaru in his fury, "What trickery is this?!.. Mitsuomi The Dark One and Tsunade have vanished without a trace!" danzo says, his voice echoing off the cell's walls and laden with a venom that could intimidate even the most fearless. Orochimaru with ever the embodiment of serenity in chaos tilts his head and his eyes glinting with curiosity, "Interesting.. It appears Mitsuomi is not as compliant as we believed.. And this.." he says and gestures towards the notebook given to them, "Is nothing more than gibberish" he adds, tapping it a few times.

"Gibberish indeed!.. Neither you nor I can decipher a single symbol without him.. It's as if He is mocking us.. A gift from the ancient one himself.. Yet nothing but a riddle wrapped in mystery" danzo spits out.

"Ah but remember Danzo" orochimaru says and his smile widens, "The most complex puzzles often protect the most valuable secrets.. This could be the key to unfathomable power" he adds, revealing his snake-like intent and danzo pauses to let the idea simmer.

"Then we must unlock its secrets.. No matter the cost.. Our mission for the Foundation and Konoha's superiority must not be hindered by mere ancient scripts" danzo and as they plot. Mitsuomi and tsunade were traveling through fire country's forest their presence unbeknownst to those who sought to use them for power. The ancient vampire with lifetimes of wisdom, is already weaving a new chapter in the tapestry of the world, one that would change the course of history once again.

"We must find Shizune" tsunade said her voice laced with concern. She had been separated from her apprentice during her confrontation with danzo's forces at the border of the fire country and the Land of Hot Water. Mitsuomi glances to tsunade with his ancient eyes betraying none of the emotions that plays across his face, "Lead the way" he responds curtly. The centuries have taught him patience but his ally's distress unnerves him, a feeling he thought he had long since forgotten. Tsunade couldn't help but feel the weight of the situation as they moved stealthily through the terrain, "How do we even begin to search in this vastness" she murmurs, more to herself than to mitsuomi.

"Your apprentice is strong Tsunade... Even now I can sense disturbances in the flow of chakra.. She's alive.. For this I am certain of" mitsuomi says, his voice a smooth, calming timbre. Tsunade looks at mitsuomi with a flicker of hope lighting up her features, "And you're sure we can find her" she asks, skepticism in her tone.

"With my senses and your knowledge of this land.. It's only a matter of time" mitsuomi assures her, as they pick up speed. They continue their journey as the tension between them gradually easing into a companionable silence. Tsunade is the first to break it and curious about the enigmatic being at her side, "Why choose me.. Our worlds are so different" she questions, her honey looking in his direction. Mitsuomi chuckles softly with the sound as ancient as the wind, "Tsunade... In you I see not just an ally but kindred.. In this new world.. Those of us who stand outside the ordinary must look to one another.. You are my kin now and what father wouldn't help his children" he said, his voice carrying an unexpected warmth. Tsunade is taken aback by his words as the idea of being considered kin to such a being both strange and comforting, "Kin huh?!.. Never thought I'd be family to such a being" she says, her eyebrow arched.

"Family transcends the boundaries of blood and time.. It's built on the bonds we choose... And should those bonds compel us to action.. So be it and for you Tsunade.. I would move mountains.. This search for Shizune is but a small start" Mitsuomi muses with his eyes, old, wise and his gazed into the distance. A smile flickers on tsunade's face with a mix of mischief and warmth, "Well then 'Father'.. Let's not keep your 'Grandchild' waiting too long" she says, a small laugh escaping her mouth. Their laughter echoing softly through the terrain, binding them closer in their shared quest, an unlikely family forged by circumstance and a promise of unwavering support.

A few days later mitsuomi and tsunade would find shizune not in danger of any sort but in the lap of luxury. Unbeknownst to tsunade is that shizune sold out her mistress to orochimaru and danzo in exchange for being free of her and her debts. They stealthily make their way through the opulent surroundings of the hotspring town, the air thick with the scent of betrayal. Mitsuomi's ancient eyes narrow in distaste and a small snarl, "This is where the scent of deceit leads" he murmurs, his voice a low rumble that seems to ripple through the air.

"Shizune.. H-how could she... After everything..." tsunade says, her expression a mask of incredulity and anger but could barely contain her fury.

"You seem surprised Tsunade... Betrayal as you well know.. Is as old as time itself.. It seems your apprentice has decided to rewrite her destiny.. Albeit disgracefully" mitsuomi says, with a wry tilt of his head. They find shizune ensconced in a room that drips with opulence, her expression one of smug satisfaction that sours upon seeing her former mistress and a mysterious man.

"Shizune... W-why?!" tsunade says, her voice cracked with a mixture of hurt and disbelief. Shizune stands up with her confidence bolstered by her new allies of a group of yakuza, "I'm tired La-Tsunade.. Tired of being in your shadow and your debts consuming every facet of my life.. Orochimaru and Danzo offered me a way out.. I took it" she says, correcting herself by not calling tsunade her lady.

"You traded loyalty for comfort?!.. You've betrayed everything we stood for together" tsunade said, her hands balling into fists at her sides.

"And what did 'we' stand for Tsunade?!.. Debts?!.. Running?!.. You were a great ninja but I want more from life than just being your lackey" shizune retorts, her gaze unwavering.

"It's a choice.. Albeit a poor one" mitsuomi interjects, scrutinizing shizune with an intensity that seems to look straight through her.

"In the eternal night that is my existence.. I have seen many betray those dear to them for less.. But remember Child.. Luxury bought with betrayal is a prison gilded in gold" mitsuomi says but a cruel grin forms, "Or she can die here for her disloyalty" he adds, his tone chilling and arms folded. Shizune's confidence wavers as her eyes flick between mitsuomi and tsunade with her guards going for their weapon, the gravity of her situation becoming painfully clear.

"Enough with your cryptic warnings Stranger!... I've made my choice" shizune snaps, visibly shaken but trying to maintain her facade and stopping the yakuza. Tsunade absorbs mitsuomi's words but speaks with a heavy heart, "And yet death is not the answer.. Not today.. The path you've chosen is treacherous Shizune and it will lead you down a road from which there is no return" she says with sadness in her tone, "You must live with the consequences of your actions Shizune.. Just remember the debt of betrayal is the heaviest to bear" she said, the weight of her disappointment palpable in the air. Shizune is left to contemplate the enormity of her actions, watching in silence as tsunade and mitsuomi turn to leave, her former conviction now a crumbling edifice around her.

"I was not Wrong" shizune thought, drinking some wine. Once mitsuomi and tsunade step outside the lush confines of the room, her strength faltered with the emotions and the revelations of the day weighing heavily on her. She stumbles and nearly collapsing but mitsuomi is there in an instant, catching her with an ease that belied his age. He lifts her with a gentleness that contrasts with his imposing presence, holding her in his arms like groom would his bride.

"Thank you Mitsuomi" tsunade whispers with her voice barely audible, a mix of gratitude and resignation coloring her tone.

"There's no need for thanks" mitsuomi responds with his voice soft yet carrying an unspoken strength, "In this long and often lonely existence.. It's rare to find moments of true human connection.. This... This is simply what is right" he adds, as they leave the hotel. Tsunade looks up at him with her gaze searching his ancient eyes for a moment seeking, perhaps, the wisdom of ages or simply the comfort of being understood.

"It's strange.. In all my years.. I've never felt so betrayed and yet... In your arms I find an unexpected sanctuary" tsunade says, her eyes flickering.

"Life is full of paradoxes Tsunade... And sometimes.. It is in our darkest hour that we find lights we never knew existed" mitsuomi muses as they continued their way, the moon casting long shadows ahead of them. Tsunade rests her head against mitsuomi's chest, the slow but steady beat of his undead heart a reassuring presence in a world turned upside down. Together they walk out of the city and into the night, their path illuminated by the soft glow of the moonlight, pondering the uncertain future that lay ahead. Time passes as they approach the border, the tranquility of the moment is shattered by the sudden appearance of a large group of bandits, numbering twenty with a particularly menacing figure at the lead identified as a Kumo missing-nin.

"Look here.. Two lovers on a midnight stroll.. Hand over the Female and valuables.. I'll let you watch me Fuck her" the leader says, as his men laugh lecherously. Mitsuomi with a calm that belies the danger lets tsunade down from his arms, "It seems we have company unworthy of our time.. Show them why they should have stayed in their dens tonight" he says, his voice steady. Tsunade's eyes twinkle with a feral glee with a hungry smirk playing on her lips, "I was hoping for a bit of exercise to work off my anger and sadness" she says and cracks her knuckles, her KI palpable in the cool night air.

"What do two wanderers think they can do against us?!.. This will be over quickly" the missing-nin leader says, mistaking their calm for fear. Tsunade hisses loudly to show her sharp fangs as her fury suddenly unleashes while she plunges into the fray, "Foolish men.. Learn the difference between prey and predator!" she shouts, her movements a blur as she engages the bandits with ferocity. Each movement is both a dance and a death sentence, her strength and speed an unmatched specter in the moonlight. As her hands meet flesh, limbs or heads fly, one by one, their attempts at brutality turn against them in swift, merciless retaliation. Blood paints the forest floor, a grim testament to the folly of underestimating a vampire's wrath.

"What the hell is She?!" one shouts, before his body is sliced thrice horizontally. Mitsuomi watches with a small smile gracing his lips as tsunade moves among the bandits like a fierce storm, her strength unmatched and the bandits quickly realize their grave mistake. The final cries of the bandits were swallowed by the night, leaving a haunting silence in their wake. The area once a tranquil sanctuary, had borne witness to a brutal reminder of the power that dwelled within its shadows. Tsunade stands victorious with her breathing heavy from exertion and the thrill of combat, blood coating her fingers but also her mouth.

"It's been a while since I had such fun" tsunade says, licking the blood from around her mouth. Mitsuomi chuckles with the sound deep and resonant in the silent night, "Your thirst for battle is as insatiable.. Come.. Let us leave this place before more unwanted guests arrive" he says, as they continue their journey and leave behind corpses. They cross the border and find a town to rest for the coming day but tsunade's tension is palpable, the sting of betrayal and the recent fight leaving her restless. Mitsuomi senses her unease and leans closer with his voice a mere whisper blending with the dark room they have for shelter, "You're on edge" mitsuomi notes, his observation as keen as ever.

"I am" tsunade admits, a sigh escaping her lips with her body taut like a tightly wound spring. Mitsuomi's gaze softens as his ancient wisdom mingling with a surprisingly tender concern, "I've known strife for centuries Tsunade.. Sometimes to find peace.. We must connect with another.. Not just in battle but in the tranquility of our being" he says as his suggestion is clear, yet it carries the subtlety of the night. Tsunade is taken aback and looks at him with her eyes wide, "And you think That's what I need" she says as the suggestion is unexpected and sparks a rush of emotions, from surprise to a reluctant intrigue.

"Sex?!" tsunade finally asks, her voice a mix of skepticism and curiosity.

"In moments of unrest.. Intimacy can be both a solace and a fortress" mitsuomi replies, his tone more suggesting than insisting and respecting her will even in the offer. Tsunade considers his words and the weight of centuries behind them. Mitsuomi offers not just the comfort of the flesh but an understanding, a connection that might anchor her in the tumult of her emotions.

"Perhaps you're right.. Perhaps... It's the connection we need.. More than the act itself" tsunade says after a moment, her expression soft with a decision made. Mitsuomi's response is a nod on the bed and acknowledging her insight, "It's about understanding.. Sharing a piece of eternity together.. Beyond the rumble of chaos.. It's about finding peace.. Even if just for a fleeting moment" he says, as their conversation drifted into silence. The gravity of their exchange hanging in the air, merging with the veil of darkness that is their shelter.

Tsunade slips off her heels and undoes her obi as she moves towards mitsuomi, her blouse falling open but still hiding her G-cup breasts. Mitsuomi spreads his legs to allow her entrance to him as she cups his face with both her hands before softly kissing his lips, their kiss is soft but chaste as his hands grasp her hips but she moves one to cup her supple butt. Mitsuomi's tonuge licks her lower lip for access and she parts her lips to allow his tongue to begin swirling around her own with soft but muffled moans echoing. His other hand moves to help the first hand pull her capri pants down as she moves into his lap.

"I hope being locked away so Long hasn't disminished you" tsunade coos, after pulling from his mouth.

"You'll find out out soon enough" mitsuomi says, beginning to kiss her jawline and her neck. He works the sensitive spots along the way, all the while she tries to undo his belt but he removes her blouse as she moves her arms to let it slip off. Tsunade lays bare him with only her pink panties, her large and heaving bosom before him like two celestial bodies. Her aerolaes with large with pink nipples only the verge of awaken. He starts back on her neck and collarbone with tiny kisses and sucking to leave pretty purple bruises.

"Oh God" tsunade cries, as mitsuomi's fangs find one of her breasts and she wraps her arms around his head as he drinks. He shifts while still drinking to lay tsunade on her back and she stifles a hiss of lust with the back of her hand, while the other cradles the back of his head.

"You should know.. Sex between our kind is Quite the experience" mitsuomi coos in her mind. He lifts his head with blood on his chin and his eyes glowing its unatural hue, "I'll say.. I nearly came from your bite" tsunade says, panting softly. Mitsuomi gives tsunade a coy smiles as he dives back into her godly breasts, teasing and pinching her nipple before taking one in his mouth, rolling it between his teeth and working his tongue around it. Tsunade grips the sheet with one hand and her covers mouth to stifle moans coming out, "Don't hold back Liebe" mitsuomi says, switching to the other. The room fills with tsunade's breathy moans as mitsuomi moves his way down her abdomen leaving chaste kisses towards her thick thighs, spreading her legs to only bite her inner thigh and a yowl of pleasure escapes tsunade.

"You are torturing me" tsunade says, her voice husky. Mitsuomi chuckles against her thigh and it rumbles through her body as his gaze moves to her needy center having a wet stain in the pink fabric.

"Die Folter setzt die Liebe fort" mitsuomi coos, kissing her panties before moving them aside. He gives her a long swipe with his tongue before spreading tsunade open with his finger, while his tongue begins to delve inside her and working with as flexibility as possible. Tsunade is breathing even heavier and whining at the pleasure of mitsuomi licking her clit and taking into his mouth, before throwing her head back and arching her back as a prolonged and singular moan releases with her orgasm. She lays spread eagle as she rides her first of many but mitsuomi wasn't down as he lifts the fitted long sleeve shirt, dropping his top and then going for his pants as they fall away to show his member pushing against his boxer briefs.

"God.. T-that was amazing" tsunade whispers but her eyes wide at the sight of mitsuomi's manhood. She smirks and moves further in bed as mitsuomi follows, "Prepared to be amazed even more" he says, hovering at her center and slowly entering. Tsunade feels her inside stretch as she braces on her elbows while her toes curl and baring her fangs at him. Mitsuomi leans closer to capture her lips and begins to move with slow thrusts while tsunade moves off his mouth to grip the back of his head, biting into the jugular of his throat to drink deeply.

"God.. You taste so Good" tsunade thought, enjoying his taste and the ecstacy of his thrusts.

"Blood tastes better in the throes of passion" mitsuomi thought, feeling tsunade gripping his member so tightly to bring him closer to release. The bed creaks as both vampires rock their hips with exchanging bites to the neck to signify their consummation. Tsunade loses herself to the sexual and blood haze as her body craves mitsuomi, her sloppy kisses were dripping with blood as her or his fangs pierce their lips, her fingers grab hand fulls of his black hair and her legs lock around him to keep him inside her.

"Even Dan wasn't This good" tsunade thought, feeling her insides clamp down and fail to relieve mitsuomi of his essence. Hours seem to pass as mitsuomi and tsunade try various positions with her finally feeling his seed fill her womb with morning coming, sleep comes easily and the day passes. Tsunade stirs against mitsuomi around midday as the quietness vanishes by her awakening and her eyes meet his still face but his eyes open, "What we did..." she begins hesitantly, her voice barely a whisper against the stillness of the dusk that has come.

"Do you regret it.. Though you seemed to enjoy it" mitsuomi asks, his voice deep and even but showing no sign of judgment or expectation. Tsunade pauses and searches for honesty within herself, "No.. I did enjoy it.. But I fear there's no going back from this" she confesses, her voice stronger now. Mitsuomi lets out a soft chuckle with the sound rich with centuries of knowledge and experience, "In life Tsunade.. There are moments that define us.. Moments that tear down the walls we've built around ourselves.. What we shared... It was one of those moments.. Not a step back into the shadows but a leap into understanding" he says.

"And what do we understand now" tsunade asks, her tone laced with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.

"That sometimes.. To truly live we must embrace the night and all its facets.. Fear.. Passion and vulnerability.. In doing so.. We find a sliver of peace amidst the chaos" mitsuomi answers, his hand gently caressing her hair. Tsunade nods and absorbs his words and feeling the weight of their truth, "And what of the day.. When the sun rises and the world doesn't understand us" she says, searching his eyes for his wisdom. Mitsuomi smiles with a rare and genuine curve of his lips, "Then we face it together.. For in the light or in the darkness.. Shared moments of understanding are our truest guide" he says. Tsunade lays down her head on mitsuomi's naked chest, thinking of their shared vulnerability and the path ahead. A mixture of apprehension and a strange, newfound peace settles in her heart. She thought there was no going back, yet somehow, the thought didn't scare her as much as it should have while drifting back to sleep.

Nightfall comes and the vampire lovers rise from their bed with a silent understanding between them, taking separate showers as the water is a quiet barrier to the world outside and perhaps to their own tumultuous thoughts. Mitsuomi dresses with his movements precise and silent while tying his boots when tsunade emerges fully dressed, though her demeanor one of quiet contemplation. They share a look of an exchange that needed no words, yet spoke volumes of the night's revelations and the unforeseeable path ahead.

"Where to now" tsunade says and finally broke the silence, her voice firm yet carrying an undercurrent of uncertainty.

"Wherever the wind takes us" mitsuomi replies, his voice imbued with a calm certainty that seems to anchor the tumultuous emotions swirling around them. Tsunade slowly nods with her resolve firming, "Then let's follow the wind.. Without looking back.. But first a meal" she asks and an amused smile tugs at the corner of mitsuomi's lips with a nod. Their banter, light and unburdened, filled the space between them as they left their room, stepping out into a world that held both danger and beauty in equal measure. With no clear destination in mind, they move forward with their bond a silent strength against the unknown horizons that awaited them.

AN-2: I'll end it here with Mitsuomi and Tsunade heading into the unknown. Mitsuomi will be amalgamation of Alexander and Marcus Corvinous, Alucard from Hellsing and Drake from the Blade series. Danzo and Orochimaru thought they could trust Mitsuomi and it backfires with him now free in the world. Pairing wise because people will ask will be Mitsuomi and Tsunade, her his Eve to his Adam. They'll be lovers and grow closer with them building a small coven. The world is post Third War, maybe a year or three post war. The Kyubi incident does happen but changed up a bit and other incidents as well. Thank you for your continued support. I'm Champblaze and I'm Ouuuutttt!
