Chapter 20: Code Byakugan: Hotaru of the Revolution.
Part 10: Red vs Blue
(((((((((Back when Hotaru was confined in the Hyuuga Private Clinic's Ward, 3 weeks ago(((((((((
Hmmm. Aka tsuki (red moon).
Outside, it is full moon and it is blood red.
Once a year, at the middle of June, the moon becomes blood red, and shine its eerie faint red light upon the night of 15th June. Then, at 15th December, the Ao Tsuki shines, doing the same.
While I used Gregorian calendar to describe which number of the month I'm in, the actual days per month distribution is actually perfect 30 per month across all 12 month cycle. A perfect lunar calendar of 360 days. Where the month starts and ends at the perfect New Moon.
It is the Red Moon tonight, marking the night of the summer solstice. I don't know why the moon become red at summer and blue at winter. I doubt its because of natural heavenly bodies phenomena. This is a world with bullshit ninja magic. Anything is possible here.
As I stared at the moon out of the window. Someone enters the room, sneaky like a ninja.
"You're new.", I greet at the newcomer without looking back.
The presence of electromagnetic field I did mot recognized stops.
"I see that the rumor that no one can hide from you is true.", a friendly sounding guy speaks. "It is said that when Goddess Kaguya descend upon this world during the Aka Tsuki, the people who witnessed it become the first Uchiha. I wondered what would have happened if a goddess had descended during Ao Tsuki."
I snorted. "What is this? A foreshadowing? I'm afraid that I have no magic eyeballs, so sorry not sorry."
I finally turn away from the window where I observe the red moon.
"Uchiha Shisui huh? I heard that you were dead."
Shisui, the possessor of MK Ultra no Jutsu, has come out hiding.
He smirks.
"So, how did you get in here?" I asked.
"Oh, you know, I just put on a wig and draw the Hyuuga Curse Mark on my forehead with with ink and brush. They let me in just like that."
"man, Hyuuga security sucks. No wonder those Clouds bastard get in so easily.", I nod sagely
"I know, right.", Shisui smiles.
"So, is this the part where you kill me because of reasons I don't understand?"
"Oh noooo. Not at all. I'm just here to talk with the hero that saved the Uchiha clan from being massacred."
If Shisui thinks he can startle me with random revelations then he is not going to get any fun from me. I hold perfect control over my muscles through my control of my nerve signals the moment he enters this ward.
"Heee. I don't know what you're talking about."
Shisui chuckles
"It's fine. I will force you to admit."
Shisui eyes morphed into its Mangekyo form and he immediately casted Kotoamatsukami on me.
……
………..
…………
"So, am I brainwashed yet?", I had to ask.
Shisui has this shock on his face. Huh. Wasn't Ko….ya know what that's such a pain to type. Wasn't MK Ultra is this ultimate brainwashing genjutsu? Coz I don't feel any different. Or maybe that's why its ultimate, coz you can't even tell.
Then Shisui went into this hard fit of laugh. Like he was coughing coz he laughed so hard.
"HAHAHAHHA. Oh, that really got me! Finally, someone who I can't twist! Finally, someone who is true in this world of fakes!"
Of fuck me. Don't tell me this fic main villain is fucking Uchiha Shisui of all people. How the fuck am I supposed to fight the person who has the power of Aizen Sousuke? He can gaslit you to believe anything.
"Here I was, just subtly pushing the Uchiha toward the revolt. A little brainwashing here, a little false memories there. Nothing big, just bits by bits, spread across Konoha's populace.", Shisui starts to go on a long tirade over his fanfic villain plan. "eventually, I don't even need to nudge anything anymore. People began to remember memories themselves, just because someone else remember things differently. That the Kyuubi has Sharingan eyes during the Kyuubi Incident."
"Heee. So you make everyone get suss over the Uchiha, and for what?"
"I could just use my powers to force them to revolt on the spot, you know. But that would be boring. No, what I did, or try to did, was to manipulate circumstances leading to the Massacre of Uchiha with the most minimal usage of MK Ultra, just to test my ability to bend reality." Shisui chuckles. "And then, after all that years of meticulous planning, my magnum opus, my masterpiece debut as a mastermind, was ruined."
He looks at me with both the mix of awe and venom.
"My great plan was thwarted by an 8 years old brat who only need to snitch on the Uchiha with just letters mailed through the local post office! You weren't even subtle! And no one figure it out it was you! The only reason I knew was because I stand right beside you while you're writing address on hundreds of mail right there in the open, while I was filling in forms to pay my electric bills!"
Shisui went ballistics over the sheer stupidity of me ratting out the Uchiha over the revolt in the open.
"My plan! My perfect plan, was ruined by a noname brat by the simple act snitching to every clan!", Shisui was shaking like he's in a mad seizure as he recalls the trauma of me outstupiding him. "I had never been so appalled in my life! How did you even know?!"
"Well that's easy, I was eating ramen at Ichiraku when two Uchihas just discussing about how everyone is discriminating them and maybe they should put everyone in their place. So I figure, eh, sounds like a revolt. Would be funny if I rat on them."
Shisui went catatonic as he had syntax error over the fact that his plans was averted by an 8 years old being a responsible concerned citizen.
Wait till he knows that I'm just bullshitting him. Can't exactly tell him I have meta knowledge.
Shisui facepalmed himself, and through the gap of his fingers, he glared at me with hatred. Enhanced with his gleaming Sharingan.
"When the revolt was leaked, forcing the Uchiha to execute it prematurely, I knew my script was ruined. The idea was, I would fake my death, don a mask with deep and detailed backstory I concocted for weeks based on my dead relative, then I will have Itachi kill everyone, sparing only Sasuke to create the greatest brothers' tragedy. But you ruined my story!"
Shisui began to pace all around the ward, clearly agitated.
Man the Hyuuga security sucks. You literally have x-ray eyeballs. You couldn't be bothered to turn it on once in a while to check up intruders? I'm gonna die here, probably.
"I studied you over the years. You're nothing special. Perhaps you are an unprecedented genius. That's the only explanation. Yet, this what I found. Average Chuunin father. Ordinary mother. No trace to any great lineage. And your IQ test is horrendous! IQ of 40?!! Who in the world is that retarded."
Fuck do I know. When I got the IQ test I'm just too lazy to bother take it seriously so I just goes brrrr speedrun the test and go to sleep.
"And then the things you pulled off! Danzo banishment! How did you even trick that old goat?!!"
"Oh, I just pretend I am a Nara and bullshit that we have Telepathy superpowers."
"And he ate it up?!!"
"Apparently."
"The Clan Heir Hunts?! The Inuzuka Confrontation?! Your expulsion to the Genin Corps?!!"
"I was just trying to get demoted, so I beat up some kids."
"And you did this all with no plans??!! All of it was just you being stupid?!"
"There is no plan.", I nod sagely. "I am The Plan."
Shisui laughed and cried in despair and admiration. And hatred.
"I despise you, Makoto Hotaru. The Outstupid Maneuvers, you call it right? Well, I want to see how you Outstupid this.", Shisui grin like a creepypasta villain. Who was it, Jeff the Killer?
Nah, Hiashi is already Jeff. I cant just repeat the same joke name. I'm gonna worry about what to rename Shisui later.
"In one month, on the night of the Hyuuga-Sabaku wedding, the brainwash command I planted in all the Branch House members will activate. I will not tell you the exact moment it will trigger, and on what condition. The Branch will all congregate to the wedding hall, and massacre everyone. Try Outstupid that, Makoto Hotaru. I dare you."
Shisui then leaves, before giving me one last speech.
"The World of Ninja is a Battleground where superior intellect wins. Not brute force. Not rare and powerful Kekkei Genkai. Not special weapons. Intellect. That is the true worth of a ninja. I will squash you Outstupid Maneuvers and put an end to your rise. Stupid, retarded ninja like you don't belong in the spotlight like the rest of us! And I will put an end to your nonsense."
Shisui left. Well fuck. I guess he really is the Main Villain of this fanfic. He basically swear right there that he is my antithesis and the Yin to my Yang.
Hmmmm. How the fuck am I supposed to beat him?
(((((((( Current time )))))))))
Kakashi is a deadbeat and couldn't be counted on.
Man, I waited for 3 weeks. No response. Do he really think I stick all that Morse Code sticks for nothing? I even think that's the smartest shit I had done in this fanfic. Dango sticks behind Dango Stalls translates to the Hyuuga will be backstabbed. That's such a ninja hidden message thing I pulled right there that Kakashi wouldn't have missed it.
Maybe Kakashi wasn't really that smart this whole time. Canon is a lie.
So, how am I supposed to prevent the Red Wedding? As much as I think it would be hilarious to see the reenactment of that infamous scene from GoT, at this point I just ran out of ideas.
And then I think to myself.
Since when do I solve my problems with smart solutions?
I know I can never beat these damn genius Ninjas with their 30D chess mindgames. I can never win the game.
So I'm just not gonna play it.
In fanfic trope, when you do Fuinjutsu wrong for even a single deviation, its supposed to go kaboom.
Basically, by just bringing around chakra ink, you can make bombs anywhere.
Right now, Jeff and the Confederate Elders are having a monthly meeting in their meeting room. At the second floor of Hyuuga Main Office. Under it is a conference room that most of the time is not used.
So while they're having their meetings, I just scribble nonsense right on the ceiling of the conference room, making the entire floor Jeff and the elders…. Stand on? Sit on? Anyway, its now a huge slab of bomb.
In theory.
This better fucking works.
Once I'm done. I walked outside, and cast the Seal Activation sign. Doesn't matter if my all Lightning Chakra nature disallowed me to use seals properly. Since I just need seals to go kaboom.
BOOOOOMMMMMM
Deidara was right. Art is an explosion.
I feel Jeff and the Elders electromagnetic fields fizzled out in an instant. Yep. They're dead.
If the Hokage asked, I'm just going to blame him. He just said, abolish the slavery system. He didn't say how. So fuck him. And fuck Jeff and the Confederates.
And fuck Shisui with his stupid Red Wedding plot.
I don't need to save the Hyuuga from the Red Wedding if there's no wedding in the first place.
Shisui thinks he's so smart telling me his big plan to create the Hyuuga Wedding through the Red Wedding plot. Jokes on him, all I need to do is just write a stupid fuinjutsu bomb under Jeff's feet to stop Shisui's Master Plan for dramatic storytelling.
Clearly Shisui is the real stupid one here.
