(((Makoto Hotaru)))

I dont know anything much about Rice Country other than it was the country where Orochimaru established the Sound Village.

It is a rather quaint, rustic countryside. There's rice fields, rice fields , and even more rice fields.

And also Rice Country is being invaded by Waterfall Country. What a joyous occasion do we have here.

So here I am in Ho Chi Minh. Yep, I have zero fucking idea over why the hell I am in this world version of Vietnam right now. The geography makes zero sense here. The Writer was probably just see, huh, Rice Country and proceed to make the whole country to be a Nam go,

WELCOME TO THE RICE FIELDS MADAFAKA!!!

So far, the invasion isn't going well for Waterfall. They had yet to resort to deploying a full Shinobi force yet, relying on regular infantry and cavalry to do the job. The general common sense for small countries here is that you don't use the Ninja Card until you think you can get away with it quick enough before any of the Big Five interfere. So right now, the Big Five is just observing.

"Halt!"

Currently, I am in a peddler cart which is... Ridden? Drived? Dafak do you even call the act of steering a cart? Whatever, anyway I am in a peddler cart which is driven by my grandpa.

As we are about to enter Phnom Penh, we are stopped by the guards manning the gate to enter the capital city of Rice. The security is extra thorough due to the current warring state of Nam... I mean Rice.

The guards inspects the goods in our cart while grandpa is distracting them by gushing over how cute his granddaughter is.

FemHotaru is back in action.

Dressing up in a loose and worn peasant clothing, I look like a cute but poor little girl. Grandpa told the guards over my sob story of dead parents killed by those damned Waterfall bastards and now I live with grandpa and make a living helping him selling his goods across the towns in the eastern province.

The guards was a little teared up by the end of the story.

No fuss no dice, we got in. Once grandpa stops by an inn, I said this to him.

"Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu."

Upon hearing the Shatter command, the old man is released from being controlled by the fake grandpa personality I had installed into him. According to the program I installed when I hacked the old man brain, the fake personality will uninstalled itself and become nothing more than just broken signals that will fade out in several days.

Then, I just stroll around the capital. Ho Chi Minh is a city that was built over a huge river, which is where I will take a boat to sail down to the port over open sea. Then, I will change my transit to a ship that will sail to Snow.

Well, that was my plan before I figure I should do something else instead.

Hmm, what is the best way to screw over Shisui's storytelling?

)))))))))))

"Look at what I found, boss!"

Being the cute girl(pfftt) that I am, alone and defenseless in the city, obviously I will get captured by the local criminals. War produce refugees, and refugees makes an easy pickings for human trafficking. Business is booming for the local gangs in Rice.

"Hoooo… she looks good. What is your name little one?."

Adjusting my vocal cords, I changed my voice into the voice of Ilyasviel von Einzbern. That's like the only loli VA that doesn't made my ears bleed.

"Makoto Hotaru."

"Hotaru huh?.", I don't know who's this gang boss is but he's probably Nguyen. Everyone is Nam is named Nguyen. "That's a cute name. Now tell me, do you have any special talent?"

"I can sing.", I curtly replied, playing out the persona of a nervous innocent girl that's oblivious that she's about to get tricked into… well, you know.

"Good. Good. Now, Tanaka, get her a room and some change of clothes. Feed her some food."

Tanaka bowed and then brought me to a small room. Nothing much really. I take a quick shower and change into the provided clothes. Just some simple yukata really. Then they brought me some rice and soup and I filled up my belly with some warm food.

Ok now what? What's my game here? Why do I let myself be captured by the local thugs?

You'll see.

)))))))))))))))

By the night, I have been brought to an underground auction hall. I'm not going to bother telling you the details as I didn't pay attention anyway. I just bide my time watching anime in my head while waiting for my turn to be sold.

"Now Hotaru, get up there.", Nguyen orders me and so I comply.

Now, in order to increase your sales value, you can do some sort of performance to highlight your talents. With me in particular, it would be my musical talent.

So, I present them with the song

Angel with a Shotgun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(I'm an angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun

An angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun)

Get out your guns, battles begun

Are you a saint, or a sinner?

If loves a fight, than I shall die

With my heart on a trigger

They say before you start a war

You better know what you're fighting for

Well baby, you are all that I adore

If love is what you need, a soldier I will be

I'm an angel with a shotgun

Fighting til' the wars won

I don't care if heaven won't take me back

I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe

Don't you know you're everything I have?

And I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight

~~~~~~~~~~~

I finished the rest of the song and the auction hall was quite, stunned by my impeccable singing performance. I even play an acoustic guitar just to make it even better.

Then the guests stood up from their seats and give me a standing ovation.

My price went crazy after that. I didn't bother pay any attention to it. By the time the auction for my ownership was done, I was sold at the price of 3 million Ryo.

Huh, so I am pretty expensive.

I then bow as my new master came up the stage to take me. He looks like some scummy aristocrat from Hotspring. He says something but I really don't give a shit at this point.

Coz now, I'm gonna kill almost everyone here.

I summon out a shotgun out of my Pocket Watch and blast the face of my master full of lead.

The auction hall descend into chaos. The guards come up the stage trying to take me down but what can a regular normie guards can do against the might of a proper Ninja? I may as well just fighting dolls with how slow and clumsy they are in my perspective.

I weave a series of handseals and unleashed,

[Raiton: White Death]

Now normally, I use White Death to summon dozens to hundreds of rats made of Lightning as Kawarimi items. But it also can be used as this.

Swarms of Raiton Rats blankets the panicking crowd and blood and gore splatter as the rats electrocute and chomp their way through the crowd.

Meanwhile, I keep blasting my shotgun to guards. Chunks of meat splatters as each shot scatters their remains. The white rats had swarmed out the hall, chasing the surviving guests in open street. Soon enough, the authorities is notified and began to run their way here.

The auction hall is full of mutilated and charred bodies. Smell of ozone and charred flesh permeates the room. All and all, this incident will prove to be big.

The police comes in, with Rice-Nin filling in some of their ranks in order to suppress the Shinobi threat that had infiltrated into their city.

"Who are you?! Identify yourself!", a Rice-nin demands from me my identity.

I just smirked. Then, I summon out my cap, where the symbol of Konoha emblazoned on the steel plate on the front of the cap. I put it on my head and introduce myself.

"Makoto Hotaru of the Leaf."

The Rice-nin gasped. "Konoha has shed blood in our country?! Who's side are you with?!"

I just smirked as I senses the White Rat I had left behind on the rooftop and,

[Trick Action]

I teleport to the rooftop, leaving the ninjas dumbfounded as they scatter to search for me. Ho Chi Minh fall into a state of chaos as Dick-ripper Hotaru had infiltrated their Rice's capital. Its only a matter of time until news spread over what I just did.

Makoto Hotaru was also observed to be using a form of unique cylindrical weapon which launched small projectiles at high speed.

))))))))))))))))))))))

I had stole some girl clothing as I was evading the Rice-nin which trying to track me down.

Nothing a quick run in the sewers couldn't handle.

I emerge out near a clothing store and stole the clothes. Then, I climbed a hotel building and used electromagnetism to unlock a room from the outside balcony. Then, I jammed a random card into the card switch by the exit door and voila, free hotel room.

Now, why do I acting as FemHotaru now that I got outside of Konoha?

Pretty simple really. I'm creating a false identity to steer the Bingo Book into a certain false image. I look like a femboi anyway so might as well just capitalize on that. Regardless of what anyone try to convince, male and females are not biologically equal even with chakra involved.

This way, any Bounty Hunters that came after me while expecting that I have the strength and weaknesses of a girl will find that they have fallen to my trap.

Well aside that, massacring the slave auction isn't for me to add a feat to my Bingo Book entry. No. Not for my personal sense of justice either. I couldn't give a ratass about slaves personally. There will be no Hotaru Lincoln plot here.

No, I did it to call up someone's attention.

"Didn't they tell you that no one can hide from me?", I absentmindedly call out the intruder while I'm standing infront of the mirror, trying out the girl's clothes.

"Lord Danzo did tell me that it is futile. Forgive me. It is just a force of habit.", some pale ass kid emerge out from the shadow. I recognized him but I didn't show it.

"Here, tie up my ponytail would you?", I give him a blue ribbon.

He didn't even shrug, being the robot that he is and tie my hair into a ponytail. Then, I twirled in my Taisho-era kimono all girly as I am still in my FemHotaru mindset.

"I look good, am I?"

"Yes. Your ability to act in a personality that oppose your actual personality as well as gender is outstanding. You will make a great undercover agent." He commented. "I am Sai, a ROOT serving for the Great Tree. Lord Danzo had sent me as proxy to ask as to why you had operated on foreign soil with unsanctioned mission openly."

"Oh that?", I crossed my arms. "Danzo is the one behind Waterfall's invasion into Rice, right? So I just make a ruckus to get his attention. I figure he would either make base in Phnom Peh, Waterfall or here in Ho Chi Minh. And well, here you are."

Sai is silent. Though his eyes looks like he is….

"No shit Danzo. Did you figure out how to make an Elder Brain like the Nara?"

I swear I can sense Danzo clenching his butt remotely over my scarily accurate guess.

"Well I doubt yours are as advanced as theirs. They have 2000 years of headstart afterall. Still, the psychic-radio thing is s convenient. No need for me to go down your office. Now Danzo, help a pal here, would you?"

Sai was silent for awhile, then, "Lord Danzo ask what do you want?"

"You know that Orochimaru is involved with Akatsuki and made his homebase right here, right? That's why you're building up the tension here by arranging the invasion. My bet was you're going to slowly raise the tension until eventually one of the Big Five, Konoha obviously will be asked to aid Rice, giving excuse for us to deploy a large bulk of our forces here."

"Lord Danzo states that your ability to read politics and battle tactics is scarily accurate."

"Meh, this is just basic Plot. Anyone could have guessed that. Well anyway, I want you to intensify the invasion. Send in Taki-nin to invade. We will push for the offensive and break the Shinobi Peace."

The Shinobi Peace refers to the Countries across the continent having an unofficial treaty. If you don't deploy your ninja for war then we wont either. This keeps whatever wars going on between the Countries to not escalate to the insane mortality rate of the Shinobi World Wars. In fact, most of the inter-Shinobi villages war had been strictly between shinobi villages only. While the Big Five was duking it out in the previous three great wars, the actual Five Elemental Nations are technically not involved.

This separation between Shinobi and the State is meant to keep actual civilians from becoming collateral damage in shinobi wars. Think of the Hidden Villages as more of an autonomous states rather than being ruled by the daimyos. the Shinobi Villages is allowed to recruit and conscript civilian orphans solely because it freed the government from spending the tax money for orphan welfare.

There's a lot of gray area when it comes to Shinobi relations to the government. Just think about it. Most of our revenue comes from espionages and assassinations, some of which involves citizen of our own motherland. How does ninjas didn't get convicted by law then?

The answer is that we pay money to the daimyo to look at another way. As long as we ninjas doesn't do ninja stuff to the VIPs of our respective motherland, the daimyo will just play stupid.

So, the fact I'm asking Danzo to break the Shinobi Peace is a big fucking deal.

"Lord Danzo asked why should he escalate the war just for you?"

I smirked.

"Because Akatsuki is getting cocky with dictating their moves over me… I mean Konoha. So fuck them. I'm sending war right into their lawn. Let's see how they deal with that."

I'm betting that Shisui had been planning out this MGR plot of his for months. I'll be screwed if I just follow along his stupid fanfic. So, I will counter his plot by introducing chaos to his story. Let's see how he deals with that.

"Lord Danzo agrees. In a week, Takigakure will break the Shinobi Peace and soon enough, Konoha will be involved."

Good.

"now Sai, stand guard for me, would you? I had been having some rough week and I can really use a proper sleep."

He nodded and then he melded in the shadows. I sighed. As fancy as my Raiton is, I wish I can do actual ninja shit like that too. I can't even sign a Summoning Contract because my limitation.

I conjure up some Lightning Rats to serve as extra sentry as well as emergency Kawarimi items. They're as obedient and robotic as ever. Mini Raiju is just not the same as actual pets man.

(((Narrator)))

Orochimaru choked on a chicken bone when he received news that Takigakure has invaded Rice Country in the name of the daimyo.

"What?!! What kind of an idiot that is stupid enough to break the Shinobi Peace?!!"

Oh Orochimaru, if only you know that you just got Outstupided.

Orochimaru abandoned his lunch and now hard at work, contacting many of his underlings to prepare for the incoming Konoha's invasion force.

This will mess up with a lot of our plans!

His own personal force is not ready to take on a full scale war. The Akatsuki had mostly concentrated their forces at Amegakure and Orochimaru task is to build the Otogakure to full capacity in three years. Right now, Otogakure is hardly capable to handle a siege.

Like seriously, Otogakure is nothing more than just a bunch of underground bases. The idea is that it is a Hidden Village without the Village. Rather than having his forces concentrated in one spot, Orochimaru spread out his forces thin. Even if you take down one of his bases he still has a few dozens left. As long as Orochimaru lives, Otogakure lives.

Well, that is the idea. Right now his infrastructure is too fragile to actually apply it in works.

Then, Orochimaru receives a report that a Konoha-nin had appeared in Ho Chi Minh and murdered a lot of VIPs in a slave auction. The name Makoto Hotaru propped up.

Orochimaru smirked.

Instead of rushing over to Snow he decides to launch a war to Rice instead? Is this the so called Outstupid Maneuvers I had heard so much about?

Orochimaru is tempted to try test Makoto by himself but alas, he is busy moving the bulk of his research to a more secure facility. Takigakure had began their invasion in full scale and it wont be long until Konoha enters the fray. Whether they side with Waterfall or Rice remains to be seen.

Still, Hotaru needs to be taught a lesson.

"Blade-Dawg, come here."

A masked figure came into view as he melds out from the shadow.

"Your order, Lord Orochimaru?"

"Go to Ho Chi Minh. Find Makoto Hotaru.", Orochimaru smirked. While Makoto's Kekkei Genkai is interesting, it is well documented in the Kumogakure secret archive so he had hardly been that interested in researching it. Plus, he is more interested in the Phoenix rather than the Raiju. "And when you find him, kill him."

The masked man nodded. And then he disappears with a swirl of illusionary leaves.

Good grief, Shisui. If that's how you treat your old friend then I wonder how you will treat your enemy.

SAANIN Side Monogatari: B Free

Coconut drink in my hand,

Big boobs and big butts,

Yes, this is paradise, yea.

Killer B is sipping on coconut drink as he enjoy a stroll at the beach of Moon Island.

What a great statue.

He looks at the statue of Sakura, Hero of the Moon. The girl who saves the king from the evil politician, Shabadaba! He admires the statue but he thinks it could use some boobs.

That is the flattest chest he had ever seen. He prayed that it is simply the sculptor mistake rather than her actual body, coz if it so, then….

Killer B pities whoever marries her. All man deserves boobies.

Like Mabuibies.

Killer B grins. Man, maybe he should go back to Kumo and get back together with Mabui. The divorce was hard on him and their kid could use a real father figure.

It's not his fault that A just wont let him retire damnit!

Strongest Hanyo he said! You cant retire he said! You gotta protect the village, he said!

He was forced to fake his own death just to get a break! Sheesh!

Still, that Makoto kid sure is scary.

As the sworn brother of A, he is privy to several secrets of the Raiju. The previous Raikages had been implanted with the Divine Beast and use the power of brainwave control to Self-Evolve their body to their famed steel like body. The ability to sense electromagnetic field, prodigious control over Lightning Release and so on.

However, The Raiju was implanted into the Raikages by force. Because of this, it takes very long for the Raikages to develop and harness the power of Raiju. It took at least 30 years of training and Self-Evolve in order to reach the famed impenetrable body form, in which they will then pass on the Raiju to their heir, developing the next vessel.

Makoto on the other hand is different. The Raiju chose him just like it did his father. His power is developing faster than the past Raikages.

Killer B has no beef with Makoto Hotaru just like he did with Makoto Raikou. Raikou was a stoic man that doesn't talk much. And he wasn't really anything impressive. They just don't know why Raiju chose him as a proper vessel. However, Killer B saw an opportunity and took it.

He know that Makoto can pinpoint exactly where his real body is within his full transformation. And so he capitalized on that. Makoto may be able to sense electromagnetic field to tell of he had truly killed someone instead of a clone but he is Killer B

The Strongest Hanyo.

Youkai physiology is more spiritual than literal. Makoto had simply killed his Human Body, but he had yet to harness Raiju's Divinity in order to kill his Youkai Body. When he was killed, he had simply bide his time as an intangible spiritual entity and wait until Makoto leaves, which Killer B the regenerates his Human Body.

Still, most Hanyo couldn't do this. Only direct descendants of the Nine Dai-Youkai are capable of doing this form of resurrection, provided they become a Perfect Hanyo like him. Only a fully realized Divine Beast Vessel can truly kill him.

And now? Killer B is enjoying his retirement. For now. Oh, he knows A knows that he's not really dead. A will be coming for him at some point, but for now, B is going to have some fun.

He approached a couple of hot babes in bikinis and,

"Hello, Pretty ladies,

I am Killer B,

Master of Thousands Haiku."

"OH MAH GOSH! THAT HAIKU IS SO SEXY!"

"BREED ME, B-SAMA!"

Heh, Killer B smirks. He so glad he picked Haiku as his elective back in the Academy. It got him laid so much. Apparently chicks dig haikus. Who knew?

With two hot babes in his arms, Killer B grins.

Thanks Makoto Hotaru. I'll be sure to return the favor next time. Afterall…

Raikou was my friend.

.

.

(((AN)))

Holy sheeetttt, Killer B is alive?!! No way!

I mean, he did the same to Sasuke in canon. Obviously I intended this to be fake death to begin with. Its Killer B! One of the best characters. No way I actually kill him off like that. Especially since he is one of the few people alive that knows Hotaru's parents.

I realize that a lot of characters doesn't get their screentime in this fic, so I introduce the SAANIN Side Monogatari section. I will do it every chapter for now on, featuring whatever character I think at the time.

I was too lazy to bother making up town names in the map which I'll just use once anyway, so I figure I may as well just turn the Naruto map into a weird alternate Asia map. Now here's what I got so far.

Waterfall is Cambodia.

Rice is Nam.

Tea is Korea. The Joseon Korea not modern Korea.

Water is Japan.

Fire is Mainland China

Earth is India but more arid

Wind is Arabia

Lightning is Russia… probably. Funny how Russian is technically Asian.

There's plenty more countries on the map but I had yet to bother to set any. If my writing somehow goes there, the n I'll think about it. The reason I came up with this is solely just laziness. Easier to just refer to cities irl than think up some bullshit japanese names. Everyone are still named in japanese here. So no, Gaara wouldn't suddenly be called Alrimal Alati Tabki. Probably butchered that. I just google translate Sands Which Weeps.

As for Random Ideas, I may wrote it from time to time. I think I gonna make one about DMC next time.

Now, for Guest, the Caster which Soren Ironcrad summoned in HGW4 was hinted to be only good at teaching magic . That's a hint that its Waver Velvet. To be exact, Soren has met with Waver at Fuyuki and tried to steal his catalyst, since he's the only mage which Soren think he could beat at the time.

However, he had mistakenly robbed Waver his old favorite handkerchief instead the piece of Iskander's mantle.

Soren was pissed over the mistake but kept the handkerchief. He tracked down Ryuunosuke's serial killing and killed him just to steal his spot. Then he tried to summon without catalyst, hoping on just luck, not knowing that Waver's handkerchief ended up being the catalyst.

The Heroic Spirit WAVER he summoned was not the one that merged with Zhuge Liang but rather a Waver that become famous as the one who revolutionized magical education at the Clock Tower in his universe. Basically, he becomes Dumbledore. The Caster he summoned is cranky old Waver Velvet that has Senile A, which means most of the time he just a useless senile old coot.

Soren Ironcrad has the worse gacha luck.

On another note, Okita height is 158cm. I just consider every girl under 160cm tall with some tatas to be in the shortstack category. Though I had a fren that debate it should be under 155. Whatever it is, Okita-san supremacy!
