Chapter 22: Butterflies and Foxes

After the alert from the system -

I stood out in the open, on a giant stone platform

Kyou stood across from me, in a fighting stance

"We dragons utilize the Sen through our bodies in many ways. The mist common way is our fighting style, Ryukwondo"

I should have known they would have their own style.. "Is this like Frog-Fu?" I asked Kyou

He just snorted "Another shitty imitation. Frog-Fu is good for some things don't get me wrong, but it only utilises a tiny bit of the possibilities of Sage Fighting" I see.. "Ryukwondo is all about power. It's actually a perfect style for the Strong Fist. Ryukwondo utilises every single little bit of Yin-Yang particles in the air for you to manipulate. Let me show you, come at me"

I frowned, but did as told

Before I even took one step, a burst of energy hit me in the cheek sending be flying, before another came at me from the side, sending me into the ground

I shakily got up "What the hell was that???" That was insane, it was like Gai or Lee hit me with an invisible fist full power

"That was my Sen domain. I manipulate the Yin-Yang particles in the air to act as a secondary weapon. If utilized correctly, one could theoretically knock an opponent back and forth between you and the particles fists in the air endlessly, like a game of ping pong" Kyou explained

Holy Shit that's so overpowered...

He sighed "Unfortunately, I am unable to teach you this style. You aren't old nor strong enough to handle the effects of the training"

I sighed at that "I guess you'll send me back now?"

He grinned "Indeed"

And I disappeared in a cloud of smoke

I looked around. I was on my bed in the Senju compound. The sun was just barely rising

I smiled 'Might as well surprise everyone'

I got up and slowly went down the stairs to the kitchen, but what I saw at the kitchen table nearly gave the shock of my life..

Mito Uzumaki was sitting at the front of the table, slowly sipping on what looked like a cup of tea. She didn't look at all her age, maybe 25 years old..

"Hello Jack" she said, cutting me from my musings

She knew my name? Ho- oh, yeah Hashirama "Good Morning Mito-Sama" I bowed slightly

She smiled "Maah, none of that formal stuff. We are family, ne?"

I scratched the back of my head "Ah, of course Mito Nee-Chan"

She blinked "Nee-Chan? you do realize that I'm almost 60 right?"

"Yes, but you don't look a day over twenty five" she laughed "Would you like some breakfast?"

She smiled "Yes, thank you"

I got the ingredients out for my French toast "What brings you here today anyway?" I asked

Her smile turned a little sad "It's time to pass on the fox"

Oven to medium heat "Ah, so you need Kushina, I'm assuming?" Eggs in the bowl, cinnamon -

"No, I'm actually here for you"

Large Texas to - WAIT WHAT???? IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE KUSHINA!! NOT ME

"Me? Why me?" I asked calmly despite my mental crisis

"Well, you have proven to be the most trustworthy and independent of your trio of Uzumaki" I raised an eyebrow "You are also the most powerful, as well as a decent Sealing Elder. If you manage to unlock the Adamantine Chains, you would be the perfect person to hold back the Kyubi. I also don't want Konoha to keep the nine tails, not the people who helped destroy our clan" I widened my eyes. Konoha helped in the destruction? What the hell?? "Hiruzen stopped me from heading to Uzu when the messenger got here, he said there wasn't anything we could do" Bullshit "I saw Danzo's Ne agents later that night heading in that direction along with Konoha ANBU. They brought back classified Uzumaki scrolls the next morning, which I confiscated from them. I'm sure Danzo still has a few..."

Sonofabitch...

"I guess I was planning on leaving in the next few months or so. I was actually planning on going to Kumo for the 8-Tails, so I guess this works instead"

She widened her eyes "You were going to go for the 8-Tails?? Ay would have slaughtered you!"

I grinned "Gotta take risks for rewards"

We were cut off by Kushina and Minato coming down from the stairs

Kushina was crying and Minato just looked shocked

"Did he really do that to our home?" Kushina choked "Did he really desecrate the place we called home?"

Mito just smiled sadly "From what I know.. Listen, I don't want you to become a shinobi for this cursed village. This place isn't good for young people like you.."

Kushina and Minato looked at me. I sighed "Yeah, I'll take you with me"

Kushina launched herself at me like a rocket and started sobbing even harder. She just lost her trust in one of her grandfather figures...

Minato just bowed down low "Thank you" he muttered

Mito coughed "I think Jack here needs to focus on his French Toast" I widened my eyes

'SHIT!' the toast I was making was turning black "Damnit..." Everyone laughed

A few moments later the rest of the group came down, rubbing the sleep from their eyes

'Oh well...'

~~~ One Week Later : Secret chamber within Mito's room ~~~

I was currently lying down on my back on top of a wooden block, without a shirt on

Hashirama was standing behind me, with Mito next to me, lying on her back on top of another wooden block

"Are you ready Jack?" Hashirama asked me, a little nervous

"Ah, yeah I am" I said a little distracted. Hashirama hit in the head. I was looking at Mito... Who happened to be shirtless as well... Blame my hormones!!

"Just do it Hashi" she chided him

he sighed "Fine, I just don't want anyone looking at you like that.." She glared at him, to which he ignored and pulled out a mask. The mask had a strange sort of aura and was painted like a Shinigami

Yeah, I suggested they use the Uzumaki Reaper Death Mask, so that they could use the Shiki Fuin, and they whole heartedly agreed

Hashirama put the mask on and started the handseals for the seal. Hundreds upon thousands were performed at blinding speeds, that not even i could follow

He started to mutter something under his breath about halfway in. I couldn't hear what he said, but they vaguely sounded like a prayer of some kind

After about 3 minutes of performing handseals, he stopped. The Shinigami appeared behind him and performed a seal

'Huh, that looks like the Kage-Bunshin-' "AHHHHHHHHHHH"

The shinigami reached his hand through Hashirama and touched my stomach. Before touching Mito's as well. I can only tell you one thing about the whole experience - It hurt

The extraction lasted almost 5 hours, all of them filled with excruciating pain. Kurama was apparently being extracted slowly so that my coils didn't immediately burst, but it made it 100x more painful than just a quick Sealing like what minato did.

About 4 and a half hours later the shinigami let go of my stomach and mito's, now lifeless chest.

The reaper death mask that was on Hashiramas face cracked, and half fell to the floor. Inside, Hashirama was openly sobbing.

Before I could try and comfort him, I went unconscious

...

...

'Oh god, what the hell? Where am I?'

I looked around. I was in a dark forest, with trees stretching for as far as the eye could see. A small lake was nearby, reflecting the deep sea blue sky. Weirdly enough, there was no moon...

'What the fuck happened?'

Then a booming voice sounded in front of me

"How did you get those eyes human?"

'Aw fuck'
